Leigh Tiffin Scouting Report

2010 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Leigh Tiffin, K, Alabama
Tiffin has moved his way up the ranks to become one of the best kickers in college football. He was a backup for Alabama as a freshman in 2006, but he has been the starter -- and a good one, at that -- ever since. Tiffin went 25 for 34 on field goals in 2007 and converted all 36 of his extra points. He suffered a bit of a junior slump going 20 for 29 on field goals, but one was a 54 yarder. As a senior, Kiffin is enjoying his best season yet for undefeated Alabama, which is set to face Texas in the BCS National Championship. He has converted 29 of 33 field-goal attempts, including 1-for-1 from 50+ and 5-for-7 from between 40 and 49 yards. He is also borderline automatic from short range, as he converted all 13 of his attempts from 20-29 yards in 2009. Tiffin was a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award (just as he was in 2008) -- given to the best kicker in college football -- which was won by UCLA's Kai Frobath. He was named to the All-SEC First Team by the conference's coaches and he is also a part of the Walter Camp All-America Second Team. Kickers, of course, are an interesting proposition in the NFL Draft. A sizable portion of NFL-caliber placekickers sign as undrafted free agents. Tiffin is not the same kind of can't miss prospect that Sebastien Janikowski was coming out of the Florida State, but he is worth a draft pick. Look for Tiffin to go off the board sometime on Day 2.

Clothing company sues Taylor Swift over same-name brand
Listen to Taylor Swift on iHeartRadio
A clothing company is suing to shut down Taylor Swift's own Lucky 13 clothing line.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Robert Kloetzly, whose company is also called Lucky 13, says the country-pop superstar is confusing consumers with her same-name brand.
Kloetzly is reportedly seeking all profits Swift has made off of her Lucky 13 merchandise. He further accuses Taylor of hijacking the target demographic for his clothing line through her music video for "I Knew You Were Trouble."
In his lawsuit, Kloetzly alleges that the clip could be an ad for his Lucky 13 brand because it, "depicts stylish, attractive tattooed individuals in provocative situations."

flippant title, but this sounds very serious. this isn't an excuse for losing, this is a reason. blimey. if he and Cain stay undefeated in their next fights and meet again, would be epic.
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/mma--uf...181312353.htmlHe took a severe beating in losing his heavyweight championship to Velasquez via a five-round decision. The morning after the bout, his urine was a very dark brown, the color of Guinness Stout beer.
He wasn't urinating blood, as some fighters do after a grueling match. Rather, the brown coloration of his urine was due to rhabdomyolysis. His muscle fiber was breaking down and getting into the blood steam.
It is a treatable condition, but it can be fatal under certain circumstances. There are numerous causes, but one is extreme physical exercise. Dos Santos trained so fiercely that he was pushing his body well beyond its natural limits.

Circuit Emulation over IP (CEoIP) Network Modules
Circuit Emulation over IP (CEoIP) Network Modules
Q. What are the new Circuit Emulation-over-IP (CEoIP) network modules?
A. There are two new network modules: the NM-CEM-4TE1 and NM-CEM-4SER.
They both support the new CEoIP service offering, which is essentially the use of an IP network to provide a point-to-point, bit-transparent data stream between two endpoints. Such a data stream is completely protocol-independent because the network encapsulates and transports, in a continuous stream of IP packets, every data bit presented to an ingress port for delivery to a designated destination port. The data stream is not examined, interpreted, or manipulated in any way.
Q. Why are there two different network modules?
A. The NM-CEM-4TE1 provides four T1/E1 ports. Depending on the software configuration, all four ports are T1 or all four ports are E1.
The NM-CEM-4SER provides four synchronous serial ports.
Depending on the cable attached to each NM-CEM-4SER port, the port can be:
Similarly, depending on the cable attached to each NM-CEM-4SER port, the port can be:
•Data communications equipment (DCE)
•Data terminal equipment (DTE)
Q. Which platforms are supported?
A. These new network modules are supported in the:
•Cisco 3745
•Cisco 3725
•Cisco 3660
•Cisco 2691
•Cisco 2600XM Series
Q. How many CEoIP modules per platform are supported?
A. Each network module consumes one network module slot. The maximum number of circuit emulation network modules supported depends on the number of network module slots available in each platform.
•Cisco 3745—4 slots
•Cisco 3725—2 slots
•Cisco 3660—6 slots
•Cisco 2691—1 slot
•Cisco 2600XM series—1 slot
Q. Which Cisco IOS® Software release is required?
A. Cisco IOS Release 12.3(7)T is required to support these network modules.
Q. Which Cisco IOS feature sets are required?
A. On the Cisco 3745, Cisco 3725, Cisco 2691, and Cisco 2600XM Series router platforms, the NM-CEM-4TE1 and NM-CEM-4SER require one of the following feature sets:
•SP Services
•Advanced IP Services
•Enterprise Services
•Advanced Enterprise Services
On the Cisco 3660, the NM-CEM-4TE1 and NM-CEM-4SER require the IP Plus feature set or above.
The NM-CEM-4TE1 and NM-CEM-4SER are also supported in a selection of special-purpose feature sets. For more details of the feature sets supporting these network modules, refer to the Feature Navigator at http://www.cisco.com/go/fn or contact your local Cisco representative.
Q. Can you give me an application example for the NM-CEM-4TE1?
A. The NM-CEM-4TE1 can be used any time a bit-transparent data stream transport is needed between devices with T1 or E1 interfaces. For example, the NM-CEM-4TE1 might be used to provide:
•A T1 or E1 leased-line service over an IP network infrastructure
•A fractional T1 or fractional E1 (N x 64 kbps) data service capable of carrying any conventional or proprietary data protocol
Q. Can you give me an application example for the NM-CEM-4SER?
A. The NM-CEM-4SER can be used any time a bit-transparent data stream transport is needed between devices with synchronous serial interfaces. Most commonly, the NM-CEM-4SER might be used to connect data devices that generate a synchronous serial data stream that is not in any format (such as IP, High-Level Data Link Control [HDLC], Synchronous Data Link Control [SDLC], Frame Relay, ATM, etc.) recognized by other router interfaces. Such data streams might include:
•Encrypted data
•Legacy data protocols that have not been, or cannot be, upgraded to IP or some other frame-based format. Such protocols are still widely used in a variety of industries, such as utilities, transportation, etc.
Q. Does the NM-CEM-4TE1 support framed and unframed modes?
A. Yes, each T1/E1 port can be independently configured to operate either in unframed or framed mode.
In unframed mode, a T1 or E1 port encapsulates the entire T1 stream (1544000 bps) or E1 stream (2048000 bps) for transport across the IP network.
In framed mode, the framing structure of the line is not encapsulated for transport across the IP network. Thus, on a T1 port in framed mode, up to 1536000 bps can be carried across the network. Similarly, on an E1 port in framed mode, up to 1984000 bps can be carried across the network.
Q. Does the NM-CEM-4TE1 support Channelized and Unchannelized modes?
A. Yes. If a T1/E1 port is configured in framed mode (see previous question), then it can be used in either an Unchannelized or a Channelized mode.
In Unchannelized mode, a T1 or E1 port encapsulates the entire T1 payload (1536000 bps) or E1 payload (1984000 bps) for transport across the IP network as a single data stream.
In Channelized mode, a T1 or E1 port can be configured with up to N separate data streams. N = 24 for a T1 port and N = 31 for an E1 port. Each data stream can include any combination of timeslots, either contiguous or not. Of course, each timeslot can be included in only one data stream.
Q. How many channels can be created on the NM-CEM-4TE1?
A. The NM-CEM-4TE1 supports a maximum of 64 channels. Each channel can be N x 64 kbps (or N x 56 kbps in T1 mode).
Q. Is grooming supported on the NM-CEM-4TE1?
A. Yes. Each N x 64 kbps or N x 56 kbps channel is independent and able to terminate on a separate network destination.
Q. How many channels can be created on the NM-CEM-4SER?
A. The NM-CEM-4SER supports a maximum of 4 channels. Each port supports a single data stream.
Q. What port speeds are supported on the NM-CEM-4SER?
A. Each data port of the NM-CEM-4SER can be independently configured for any of the following data rates (shown in bps).
Q. Can I use all four ports simultaneously at the maximum speed?
A. The NM-CEM-4SER can operate all four ports at 2 Mbps with no restrictions.
The NM-CEM-4TE1 can operate all four ports at 2 Mbps (E1 rate) as long as the default (or larger) packet payload sizes are used. The NM-CEM-4TE1 can support (very approximately) 10,000 packets/second (pps). That limit could, in theory, be exceeded if a large number of N x 64 kbps channels are created (with small values of N) with very small packet payload sizes.
Q. Is there any dependency between the number of supported channels and platforms?
A. Officially, no. However, certain router platforms (the Cisco 2600XM Series) can become severely congested if they are forced to attempt to route an excessive number of packets/second. That can occur with the NM-CEM-4TE1 if a large number of N x 64 kbps channels are created (with small values of N) with very small packet payload sizes.
To avoid any such problems with large numbers of low-speed channels, use the default (or larger) packet payload size.
Q. What are the network requirements?
A. There are no specific network requirements. However, in the interest of minimizing jitter (see below), it is best to ensure that CEoIP data streams have high Quality of Service (QoS) characteristics through the use of priority queuing, etc.
Q. What is jitter, and why do I have to worry about it?
A. Jitter is simply the variation in the end-to-end network delay experienced by packets as they travel from their source port to their destination port through the network.
Because the goal of circuit emulation is to deliver exactly the same bit stream to the destination port as was received at the source port, it is important to ensure that each packet arrives at the destination in time to be played out as soon as the previous packet has been played out to the attached device.
The NM-CEM-4TE1 and NM-CEM-4SER compensate for jitter by holding packets at their destination port in a"de-jitter buffer" that is intended to be half full on average. Packets that arrive with less delay will cause the de-jitter buffer to fill over half full momentarily. Packets that arrive with more delay will cause the de-jitter buffer to be under half full momentarily.
The goal, of course, is to ensure that the de-jitter buffer never overflows or underflows.
Q. How much jitter can be accommodated on these network modules (in other words, what is the maximum de-jitter buffer size)?
A. The de-jitter buffer for each channel is independently configurable up to a maximum of 500 milliseconds. This accommodates jitter of ± 250 milliseconds.
Q. What is the smallest de-jitter buffer size?
A. The minimum configurable de-jitter buffer size is 5 milliseconds (± 2.5 milliseconds), but it is best to ensure that the de-jitter buffer is at least large enough to hold four datapackets.
Q. Can the de-jitter buffer size be tuned?
A. Yes, the de-jitter buffer size is configurable.
Q. What happens if a packet gets dropped?
A. If a packet gets dropped (or excessively delayed) in the IP network, its content in the egress data stream is replaced with a configurable idle pattern.
Q. Is there any protection against packet drops, and how does it work?
A. There is an optional feature called "data protection", which ensures that no data is lost in the event of any nonconsecutive packet drops in the network.
It works by sending each data bit twice, once in each of two consecutive packets. Each packet consists of N bits of data repeated from the previous packets plus N new bits of data (that will be repeated in the subsequent packet).
This mechanism is based on RFC 2198, developed originally for modem signal transport in voice over IP (VoIP).
Q. What is the overhead of a CEoIP packet?
A. Each CEoIP packet has a 44-byte header consisting of:
•a 20-byte IP header
•an 8-byte User Datagram Protocol (UDP) header
•a 12-byte Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) header
•a 4-byte circuit emulation header
Q. What are the supported packet payload sizes?
A. The payload size is configurable between 1 byte (for very low data rates) and 1312 bytes. The actual payload sizes supported depend on the data rate of the channel.
Q. What is the default packet payload size?
A. The default packet payload size depends on the data rate of the connection. Most data rates use a default packet payload size in the range of 32 to 512 bytes.
Q. Can the overhead be reduced?
A. The overhead of a CEoIP packet can be reduced some by:
•using compressed RTP (cRTP) to compress the packet header
•using a large packet payload size
Using cRTP, the 40-byte IP/UDP/RTP header can be reduced to 2 to 4 bytes, resulting in a total header size of 6 to 8bytes.
Q. Can the packet payload be compressed? If so, what is the compression ratio?
A. Payload compression may be enabled. Lempel-Zif-Stac (LZS) compression is used. The LZS algorithm performs a historical search for repeating patterns in the data stream. If a repeating pattern is found, it is replaced with a pointer to the previous occurrence of the pattern in the data stream.
Naturally, the effectiveness of this algorithm depends entirely on the nature of the data in the data stream. The best-case compression (repeating "idle" data) approaches 90%.
Q. How much delay does compression cause?
A. The delay caused by the compression algorithm is one packet time. Naturally, that is a function of the channel data rate and the packet payload size.
Q. How much traffic can be compressed?
A. A maximum of 3 Mbps of data may be compressed per network module.
Q. What delay does CEoIP cause?
A. The principal sources of end-to-end delay in a CEoIP service are the following:
•Packetizing delay
•Routing delays in the source, intermediate, and destination routers
•Packet serialization delays on the links in the network
•De-jitter buffer delay at the destination port
Q. Is there any way to minimize delay?
A. The packetizing delay can be minimized by using a high data rate and a small packet payload size, at the cost of a higher pps rate and lower packet efficiency (percentage of packet carrying payload bits).
The de-jitter buffer delay can be minimized by using a small de-jitter buffer size (at the risk of occasional buffer under-runs or over-runs as a result of variable network jitter).
The routing and link delays can be minimized by using high-speed platforms connected by high-speed links.
Q. Does CEoIP require end-to-end synchronization?
A. In order to achieve end-to-end bit-transparent circuit emulation without bit errors, it is imperative that both endpoints of a circuit use the same bit clock frequency. Specifically, the source ingress bit clock frequency of a data stream must be the same as the destination egress bit clock frequency of that data stream If that is not the case, the de-jitter buffer at the destination of the circuit will eventually over-flow or under-flow.
Q. Which clock sources can be used to achieve end-to-end synchronization?
A. The egress bit clock frequency on each port can be any one of the following:
•The "internal" clock derived from the oscillator on the network module or the central oscillator of the router (onrouters equipped with a time-division multiplexing [TDM] bus)
•The "line" clock provided by the attached device
•The "adaptive" clock, which is a locally synthesized clock tuned to match the source ingress bit clock by monitoring the average level of data in the egress de-jitter buffer.
Q. How does adaptive clocking work?
A. As mentioned previously, the adaptive clock mechanism works by monitoring the average amount of data in the egress de-jitter buffer for the channel. When the de-jitter buffer is found to be filling slowly over time, the adaptive clock is increased slightly. When the de-jitter buffer is found to be depleting slowly over time, the adaptive clock is decreased slightly.
Q. Can I choose a different clock source for every port?
A. The clock source selection is independent on each port. However, on the NM-CEM-4TE1, all N x 64 kbps channels that share a single port must, of course, share the clock frequency selected for that port.
Q. What are the clock options on the NM-CEM-4SER?
A. Each port of the NM-CEM-4SER may be independently configured in either normal clock mode or split clock mode.
In normal clock mode, the DCE provides both the Receive Clock and the Transmit Clock to the DTE.
In split clock mode, the DCE provides the Receive Clock to the DTE and the DTE provides the Transmit Clock (sometimes called the External Transmit Clock clock [XTC], or Terminal Timing [TT]) to the DCE.
Q. Why are there so many different clock options, and when should I use what?
A. The requirement is simply to ensure that the flow of data in each direction has exactly one master clock frequency. That often requires careful examination and configuration of:
•the source CPE
•the source circuit emulation port
•the destination circuit emulation port
•the destination CPE
This configuration ensures that there is exactly one clock master frequency in each direction.
In most cases, the same master clock frequency is used for both directions of a bidirectional data stream.
Q. Is channel associated signaling (CAS) supported on the NM-CEM-4TE1?
A. Yes.
Q. When do I need CAS?
A. CAS support is needed if the NM-CEM-4TE1 is being used for transparent transport of voice channels between private branch exchanges (PBXs or equivalent) that used CAS between them.
Q. Are control signals supported on the NM-CEM-4SER?
A. The NM-CEM-4SER supports the monitoring and end-to-end transport of the most commonly used control signals on the interface types supported. Specifically, the following control signals are supported with the Cisco-standard 12-in-1 "smart serial" cables:
•Data Terminal Ready (DTR)
•Data Set Ready (DSR)
•Request to Send (RTS)
•Clear to Send (CTS)
•Data Carrier Detect (DCD)
•Local Loop (LL)
The following additional control signals are supported with the new extended 12-in-1 "smart serial" cables introduced with this network module:
•Remote Loop (RL)
•Test Mode (TM)
•Ring Indicator (RI)
The set of control signals supported on each port and the standards-based name for each control signal depend on the interface type. Each control signal listed previously may not be supported on every interface type. Also, the control signal names shown are simply the most commonly used names.
Q. Are the serial control signals used for anything?
A. By default, the serial port control signals are not used by the NM-CEM-4SER for anything. They are merely transported between end devices to be used in any way the attached devices see fit.
However, any input control signal on a serial data port may be configured as a "data strobe" to indicate to the NM-CEM-4SER whether ingress data on the port should be encapsulated for transmission or ignored. If the "data strobe" control signal is on, data packets are created and sent. If the "data strobe" is off (either intentionally, or as a result of the failure of the customer premises equipment [CPE]), no data packets are created, resulting in preservation of bandwidth in the IP network.
Q. Which QoS bits are supported, and what are their default settings?
A. The NM-CEM-4TE1 and the NM-CEM-4SER generate IP packets that use the standard QoS fields in the IP header.
By default, the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) byte is set to 46.
If DSCP is not used, that field in the IP header may be used to support IP Type of Service, or ToS, (set to 5, by default), and IP Precedence (set to 0, by default).
Q. Can the QoS bits be modified?
A. All of the QoS bits are configurable for each channel.
Q. Is interworking supported between the NM-CEM-4TE1 and the NM-CEM-4SER?
A. Data streams are supported between the NM-CEM-4TE1 and the NM-CEM-4SER. Naturally, such data streams must use configuration parameters (such as data rate and payload size) that are supported on both network module types.
Q. Is this solution standards-compliant?
A. The Cisco T1/E1 CEoIP implementation is compliant to the ITU-T Y.1413 standard.
There is no standard for the Cisco serial port solution.
Q. Does CEoIP use the VoIP stack?
A. Yes, CEoIP uses an IP header structure similar to VoIP.

I Remember
I recently read a wonderful book called I Remember by Joe Brainard. Dan Chiasson, writing about Brainard recently on the New Yorker's blog, called it "one of the twenty or so most important American autobiographies." But it's probably unlike any autobiography you've ever read. Indeed, it's essentially a book-length prose poem, composed of snippets of Brainard's memories, all of which begin with "I remember . . . ." It's an ingenious way to craft a type of memoir—perhaps a more honest way to do so as well. Because most of my memories of childhood come in shards like these—stolen moments, stray memories, vivid or not-so-vivid fragments, all of which might add up to a portrait of a childhood, a life, a person.
Brainard was born in 1941, in Arkansas, but he grew up in Tulsa, before moving to New York as a young man, like many an aspiring artist. He was a painter and visual artist mainly, but he's also famous for his poetry, and especially for I Remember. Recently, The Library of America published The Collected Writings of Joe Brainard—a true sign that he's now a part of the canon of great American writers. Most of that reputation rests on I Remember. Really, it's an ingenious, wholly original book. Though it doesn't seem original, does it? "I remember" is such a common phrase, a common way to reminisce. But Brainard's book is not just slapdash and haphazard. It's artfully constructed, and, as I said, forms a kind of portrait of the artist as a child and young man.
The format is so addictive that I've started to try my own hand at it. Sure, it can't compare to Brainard's, but as an exercise it has already spurred my memory to conjure images and moments that are floating around in my brain, waiting to be pinned down on the page. I can't imagine writing a standard narrative memoir—my life is just not interesting enough for that, and besides, writing such a book holds no interest for me (and probably not for readers either!). But something like I Remember—well, it's fun, and seems more honest.
Here are some snippets of what I've come up with so far. I think I'll keep a running "I Remember" document now, as long as these stray memories pop into my head .
I remember Dean and Ollie, nurses at Dr. Trice's office. Dean was skinny, Ollie was fat. I remember that when Dean gave me a shot, it hurt. When Ollie gave me a shot, it still hurt, but it hurt less.
I remember Dr. Trice's cold hands.
I remember getting a lollipop after each doctor's appointment.
I remember always being worried about having to get a shot whenever I went to the doctor. Usually I had reason to worry.
I remember getting a shot once, when I was ten, right before a surgery to have a (benign) cyst removed. The shot hurt so bad that I've never forgotten what was on the hospital TV at the time—The Miracle Worker, the one starring Melissa Gilbert.
I remember Little House in the Prairie. I remember being afraid of Nellie because she was so mean. I remember the little girl who played Carrie falling down the hill in the opening credits. I remember Mary going blind and being traumatized. I remember being envious of the Olson kids because they could freely raid the candy jars of the general store.
I remember spending most of my allowance on candy.
I remember walking to Mr. Qwik to buy candy. I went for hard stuff, not candy bars—jawbreakers, Red Hots, Gobstoppers, Sweet Tarts, Spree, Jolly Ranchers.
I remember going to the dentist once and having five cavities.
I remember Mom called Mr. Qwik "Mr. Pits," because she thought it was the pits.
I remember that they sold potato logs at the "hot food" counter at Mr. Qwik. I remember our neighbor Jimmy always bought and ate them. I thought they looked disgusting.
I remember that Mr. Qwik sold porn magazines, and I could see the tops of them peeping out from behind the other magazines. I remember never having the nerve to look at them.

Second Half Comeback Upends TornadosDecember 30, 2012
Brevard, N.C.- The Brevard College men's basketball team struggled in the second half in a 69-67 loss to the Fayetteville State Broncos in Boshamer Gymnasium on Sunday afternoon.
The Broncos erased a 12-point halftime deficit with a 20-3 run to open the second half, taking their largest lead of the game at 51-46 on three-pointer from Anthony Shelton with 13:07 left in the game.
The Tornados tied the game twice following the Fayetteville State run out of the break, eventually regaining the lead 67-66 on a three-pointer from Dominique Pickett at 2:07.
Shelton responded with what turned out to be the game-winning three with 1:48 left in the game to seal the Broncos comeback win. Shelton went 4-for-8 from beyond the arc en route to a 14-point performance for FSU, who were paced offensively by 18 points from Louis Craft.
The Tornados were unable to score in their two possessions following the basket by Shelton, including a Gerel Simmons jump shot for the tie that missed at the final buzzer.
Simmons led all scorers with 20 points off the bench for BC, shooting 7-of-12 from the floor while pulling down six rebounds. Pickett finished with 10 points and six rebounds, while Manzey Miller chipped in 10 points and four assists.
BC shot an impressive 54.5% (12-for-22) from three-point range in the game, but were outscored 34-16 in the paint.
The Tornados are back in action as they host the Erskine College Flying Fleet in Boshamer Gymnasium at 7 p.m. on New Year's Day.

Taiwan-based Epic Communications (Epicom) has announced a series of WCDMA/HSDPA power amplifiers (PA) for 3G portable devices and mobile phones.
Provided in 3x3mm packages, the new 3G PAs are designed specifically for UMTS/WCDMA frequency bands.
Built using a BiFET manufacturing process, an integration of InGaP bipolar HBT and GaAs pHEMT technologies, all key features and functional blocks of Epicom's new 3G PA are integrated into a single cost-effective chip while delivering impressive performance.
In comparison to 2G or 2.5G (GSM/GPRS/EDGE) PAs, 3G PAs require much higher linearity to support high data rate transmission and better power added efficiency (PAE) for longer battery life, Epicom said. The company noted its 3G PAs feature digitally controlled tri-power mode (high, medium, low) operation, and ultra-low quiescent current. The compact form factor includes the required directional coupler and all matching circuits.
In addition to 3x3mm packaged PAs, Epicom also provides these PAs as bare dies to volume SiP module makers for custom module design requirements. Epicom's latest 3G PA engineering samples and EVBs are immediately available per customers' request.
Epicom said it also plans to roll out new PAs for other 3G standards such as TD-SCDMA and CDMA 2000/EV-DO, and 4G standards including LTE and TD-LTE.

WEB EXCLUSIVE: Damon Albarn
Blur frontman and one half of Gorillaz, British musician Damon Albarn, teamed up with producer Richard Russell, to create his new solo album, Everyday Robots.
[Buy Everyday Robots on Amazon]
As a solo album, it is completely autobiographical and may be the most personal record for him lyrically. Since he is naturally a collaborator, Albarn claims that making this solo album completely honest was somewhat difficult.
One track on the new album was inspired by insane traffic jams on the outskirts of Los Angeles. The song represents our technology obsessed culture and people not being in the moment.
Check out the interview with Damon Albarn below.

WLC 5508 to a 4402 anchor
Hello all-
We are deploying two 5508 WLC running 7.2 ios. Is it possible to anchor these to a 4402 running 22.214.171.124. Is there any version mismatch issues. We can find documents on the older compatibility but not on the new code.
This actually just came up on another thread. I dont think its documented yet, but another user commented that its working on his install. I havent tested it myself.

SHOCK VIDEO: Horrified families watch as struggling whale can't get back into water at SeaWorld
(Madeleine Morgenstern) A trip to SeaWorld took a disturbing turn for one Florida family as they watched a beached pilot whale struggle to get back into the water for about 25 minutes before trainers finally went to push it back in.
Carlo and Ashley De Leonibus took their daughter Catiana to SeaWorld Orlando to celebrate her 11th birthday last week, The New York Post reported. A lightning storm during an aquatic show forced the trainers and cast to leave the stage. That's when the audience saw the small pilot whale, a member of the dolphin family, floundering on a ledge at the edge of the pool.
When no trainers appeared to help the struggling animal after about 10 minutes, Carlo De Leonibus pulled out his cell phone and started filming.
"I went and told a SeaWorld employee in a dark blue shirt who said it was normal and that it was fine, playing etc.," De Leonibus wrote in a description of the video he posted on YouTube. "I went back to the bleachers and began recording. What I saw, changed my view of SeaWorld forerver. The crowd becomes furious, yelling to save the dolphin. After an additional 10-15 minutes after my recording they sent two dolphin trainers in to push the dolphin back in."
De Leonibus' video of the flapping pilot whale, in which another whale even appears to try to help it, has been viewed more than 48,000 times since it was posted July 20.
Content warning — some strong language at the beginning of the video:

Jay Z & Beyonce top Vanity Fair's 'New Establishment' list
Listen to Jay Z on iHeartRadio | Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio
Jay Z and Beyoncé are the couple to beat when it comes to raw power.
"Vanity Fair" has ranked the husband and wife duo at the top of its annual list of "The New Establishment." The magazine points out that both Jay and Bey have dominated the music industry, and are "only getting stronger."
Among the reasons the pair are topping this year's list are Jay's recent deal with Samsung that gave away one-million-copies of his album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, before its wide release. The deal earned "Magna Carta" a platinum certification on the day of its arrival. The publication also praises Beyoncé for her Super Bowl halftime performance, as well as her HBO documentary and world tour.
Among the other members of the "New Establishment" are Dr. Dre, Jimmy Iovine, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Mark Zuckerberg.

What are some natural ways to relieve back pain during pregnancy??
A friend of mine is about 32 weeks pregnant and suffering a lot of back pain! I honestly didn't have much myself, so I'm not sure what I can tell her to do to alleviate the pain. I mentioned using lots of pillows and trying warm and cold compresses but she's already doing this.
Did anyone use acupuncture or prenatal massage? Was it helpful?
Any advice is great! Thanks!

Chiropractic adjustments can be very helpful in late pregnancy. When the skeletal system is in alignment, then pressure is taken off of the back. She may want to look for a Chiropractor who has experience with adjusting pregnant women. My midwife recommended one that she sends her Mums to. He can even turn babies by doing an adjustment. Maybe she could call around to some midwives in the area and see if they have one they recommend. I found it to be very helpful for me.

Yes Kate is right, a chiropractor can help your friend.
Prenatal massage would be beneficial for your friend also but it should be done only by a massage therapist certified in prenatal massage. It is believed that it reduces anxiety, relieves muscle and joint pains especially for your friend who is in her third trimester already. Baby inside is getting heavier.
As for acupuncture, I have read that it is safe to be done during pregnancy. It indeed helps relieve back pain during pregnancy, according to some pregnant women who've tried this.

Thanks Kate and Katie,
I'll be sure to let her know. I know she was trying to avoid going to a chiropractor for some reason but maybe if she gets a referral from a midwife, she will feel more comfortable about it. There have to be some that specialize or are at least very familiar with adjusting pregnant women.

Hi DoubleSunshine,
Sorry to hear your friend is suffering with back problems. I found sitting on my birthing ball helped with back pain in my third trimester (as it makes you sit with a good posture) but my back pain may not have been as bad as your friend's is.
Just a thought though.

Topic: CC Foundation Database?
I've been trying to search the discussion boards posts to learn more about the experiences of those patients whose situtation most closely matches my wife's, which was ICC, one 6.4 cm poorly differentiated tumor contained in liver and one positive hilar lymp node, 72% resection, negative margins 2 cm from tumor, R0. Chemo and radiation has not yet started.
Has anyone created a database of the patient information provided in these discussion boards?

Donald King, FAIA, a black architect in Seattle, founded his firm in 1989, but he never wanted it to carry the "minority-owned business" banner. Like everyone else, he wanted his work to speak for itself. But he soon discovered that the market reality was something different. As the firm began to establish itself, King certified it as a minority business with Washington state and with the federal government, using his status as another tool to build relationships with clients to whom he otherwise wouldn't have had access. His reputation started to jell, and soon he was landing jobs as the primary architect on major projects. By the time the state banned affirmative action in 1996, his firm was on solid ground.
"Affirmative action introduced a lot of people who wouldn't have otherwise been noticed, sometimes because they were a minority firm and in some cases because of unintentional racism," says King, who heads DKA, a 15-member architecture and planning firm. "People work with people they know, who are friends of their friends, and who they know are competent."
For both mainstream and minority firms, team quotas are a double-edged sword. Minority-owned businesses—those that are disadvantaged socially or economically or because of race or gender—have to put up with the public assumption that if they need incentives to get work, it must be because they're second-rate. Being a token team member doesn't guarantee a level playing field either. Often the prime architect simply assumes that person isn't up to the job, so he or she has to fight even harder for a meaningful role. It's a good news/bad news scenario for majority architects, too. The search often turns up excellent firms with whom they partner again and again. On the other hand, quotas add complications and costs. It can be tough to find minority partners with the expertise they're looking for. And fees are set regardless of how a project is pieced together. A diversified team costs more to manage, and the fees rarely cover the added complexity.
Working with underrepresented professionals "is a good thing socially and in terms of getting out of your rut of using the same people each time, but there's no denying that it's less efficient," says David Baker, FAIA, David Baker + Partners, Architects, San Francisco. His office teams up with disadvantaged consultants (from architects to electricians) on about 25 percent of its projects. He says, for example, that if a disabled veteran is required on a school project, chances are there's only one company that qualifies, and that firm is often stretched thin. So the requirements can reduce the pool of available talent. "If you take the pool of consultants in general, we'd only want to work with 10 percent of them, whereas San Francisco redevelopment groups often require 50 percent of the contract to go to small business enterprises," Baker says. "It's unfortunate that the employee mix of a firm isn't considered, just ownership. It seems the firm should have some 'social justice' index."
Affirmative action is fraught with contention and politics. At least two states—Washington and California—have banned laws giving businesses a competitive advantage based on race or sex and have replaced them with mandates supporting small businesses. But the broader federal legislation still exists. For the foreseeable future, at least, quotas—and the opportunities and constraints they represent—are here to stay.
the minority dance "You have to go into a project with the attitude that you support the goals of participating with disadvantaged firms; otherwise it becomes just another hoop to jump through," says Shalom Baranes, FAIA, managing principal, Shalom Baranes Associates, Washington, D.C. Quotas have forced him to scout for additional consultants in virtually every field beyond the circle of folks he would typically talk to. In the process, he's discovered talent that he calls on repeatedly, whether it's required or not. As with every other partnership, the key is to look for both skill and dedication. "A lot of firms do just need experience, but there has to be a sense of mission about their profession," he says. "There are so many architecture and engineering firms in the United States that basically just want to make money. Those companies do not produce the best work."
James, Harwick + Partners, Dallas, has something in common with Baker and Baranes' firms: They're all practicing in states with a high percentage of businesses owned by racial and ethnic minorities. That may partly explain why, although public projects comprise only 12 percent of JH+P's work, roughly 35 percent of the professional firms it works with have minority status. "The consultants we pick may be on our regular projects or on our minority projects, and we pick them not because they're minorities but because they're the best at what they do," says senior associate Bob Bullis, AIA.
The firm began culling a stable of top-notch minority teammates back in 2001 when private-sector work dropped off and the firm shifted its attention to public projects. Marketing starts on JH+P's Web site, where minority firms are invited to contact Bullis. "I'll find out what their experiences are and whether they're compatible in size and experience to us, and then I'll ask them to send some official documents showing what they've done," he says. "I'll do interviews if I feel I want to get to the next level." The interview often leads to a trial run with the firm on a small private project.
Whereas JH+P finds itself in the trenches most often with minority engineers, everyone agrees that projects get a bit bumpy when there are two architects involved. Among other things, you have to figure out whether you complement each other and decide who's doing what. "You can say, 'You do your part and we'll do ours,' but often you need to value-engineer together, so everything gets mixed up," says Peter Landon, FAIA, principal, Landon Bone Baker Architects, Chicago. "Who's in charge of the details? If they are different, who's right?" he asks.
Landon and two other partners oversee a staff of nine, taking on projects as varied as affordable apartments, single-family homes, libraries, stores, and office buildings. For Landon Bone Baker, teaming up with minority architects goes fairly smoothly, mainly because the firm typically works on large projects (100 units or more) that offer plenty of work to go around. For instance, it's currently working with the minority-owned Johnson & Lee Architects/Planners to redevelop Robert Taylor Homes, a HOPE VI project on the South Side of Chicago. The award-winning Johnson & Lee did the planning and design of 110 units adjacent to the Robert Taylor site, and Landon Bone Baker was invited to help plan and design about 40 percent of the 250-unit first phase of on-site housing. That job led to West Haven, another HOPE VI project on which Landon is working with Chicago-based Brook Architecture, owned by RaMona Westbrook, AIA, a black woman. Since Landon Bone Baker has more experience, it's coordinating the detailing and construction drawings, but the design work is split along agreed-upon stylistic lines, with Brook Architecture designing the project's more traditionally inspired pieces.
The relationship is symbiotic. "We have a reputation for doing good work, but sometimes we don't have the political connection that's important," Landon says, adding that he and Brook Architecture occasionally join up to go after work that neither one could get on their own.

State & Provincial Leaders from Around the World Renew Call for National-Level Climate Action
LOS ANGELES -- Sub-national leaders from over 50 countries gathered last week in Los Angeles, California as part of Governor Schwarzenegger's 2nd annual Global Governor's Climate Summit. Topics ranged from public health impacts of climate change to technological solutions to the role of youth leadership and education. The summit kicked off with a surprise appearance by Harrison Ford, announcing the establishment of a new collaboration convened by Conservation International called Team Earth, which will focus its first effort on global deforestation. Forests emerged as a recurring theme of the discussions here. Motivated by concern that deforestation must not be excluded from the negotiations of a climate treaty this time around, 11 governors from the U.S., Brazil, and Indonesia signed a memo addressed to their nations' presidents, pressing for a robust deforestation policy mechanism to come out of Copenhagen.
Leaders from across the globe also expressed growing concern about preparing their citizens to adapt to climate change. It is clear that leaders on the local level are worried about the impacts that are already being felt by their citizens and are anticipating their growing role in implementing policies to address adaptation, in addition to greenhouse gas reductions. Some have even begun to classify jobs in climate adaptation as "green jobs" and are working to expand the number of these jobs in their jurisdictions.
Another overarching takeaway is the sense that local and regional governments embrace their important role in combating climate change, repeatedly referring to policies implemented at sub-national levels across the globe as examples for national action. In this spirit of collaboration across jurisdictions, Governor Schwarzenegger and 30 other global leaders signed a declaration reaffirming the need for greater efforts to collaborate on climate change solutions and to support the recognition of the role of sub-national governments in the climate change fight. California's Governor also signed a Statement of Intent with the UNDP that the state will work with African nations to share successful climate policies, and an agreement with the Governor of Jiangsu Province in China to form a partnership to further reduce GHG emissions. This state-to-province partnership is China's first sub-national agreement to reduce GHG emissions, a positive step in laying the groundwork for multi-lateral agreements at the national level.
Perhaps the most dominant theme of the summit was the call from leaders from the NGO, business and governmental communities for determined action at the national level worldwide. U.S. Governors and their international counterparts are confident in their ability and will to move forward with local- and regional-level policy, but there is growing insistence that national leaders take the reins on comprehensive climate policy and international leadership. Oregon's Governor Ted Kulongoski evoked enthusiastic applause (including from this former Oregonian) for his direct demands that national leaders stop discussing change and start acting, as sub-national governments have done.

The WSJ's Messy Interpretation of Environmental Laws
Blog ››› ››› MEAGAN HATCHER-MAYS
The Wall Street Journal's editorial board has accused the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under President Barack Obama of violating federalist principles for a rule that would limit air pollution that drifts across state lines. However, the same editorial page previously urged President George W. Bush to implement similarly designed policies during his presidency.
In 2005, the Bush administration's EPA issued the Clean Air Interstate Rule to address pollution that drifts across state lines, "contribut[ing] significantly" to other state's smog problems. At that time, the WSJ did not appear to have an issue with programs that limit one state's pollution to help other states meet Clean Air Act obligations. For example, on July 12, 2006, the WSJ argued that "[o]ne of the great revolutions in environmental policy has been the adoption of the 'cap-and-trade' method for controlling air pollution, starting with the 1990 Clean Air Act. The basic idea is to have the government set overall limits and let the market figure out how most efficiently to achieve the goal. And it has been a major success" (retrieved via Factiva).
Now that President Obama is in office, the WSJ believes such cap and trade designs violate federalist intentions. Writing about a Supreme Court challenge to EPA's "Transport Rule," which has been proposed to replace the now-overturned Bush-era rule, the WSJ complained that it violated "the federalist structure of the Clean Air Act" because it "no longer gave states a chance to develop their own plans to meet their required 'good neighbor' emissions targets." The WSJ editorial ultimately concluded that "[t]he Supreme Court should overturn [the rule] for violating the federalist intentions of Congress[.]"
But the rule uses a similar cost-effective, market-based cap and trade mechanism that the WSJ supported under the Bush administration. Moreover, the Clean Air Interstate Rule was not the only time the WSJ supported such a mechanism. In 2001, it praised the cap and trade program for acid rain as "fabulously successful," and advocated for Bush to implement cap and trade policies to address the carbon emissions driving climate change.
Now a similar mechanism is necessary to reduce emissions that lead to smog because individual states have largely failed to reduce the spread of air pollutants to neighboring states -- a problem in need of a federal solution. An uncoordinated and state-driven approach is not the most efficient way, cost or otherwise, to deal with federal interstate air pollution. Even if "a giant wind meter capable of detecting pollution could be set up at a state's border, and it accurately measured the amount coming into the state," -- a solution to the country's pollution problem that Supreme Court reporter Lyle Denniston has observed "is not technically feasible"-- relying solely on states to altruistically scale back their industry for the health of other states simply has not worked. As the Department of Justice pointed out in court documents:
Air pollution emitted in one State but causing serious harm in others has long been an issue of national concern. The fundamental problem is that the emitting, or upwind, State secures all the benefit of the economic activity causing the pollution without having to absorb all the costs. Conversely, many downwind States to which interstate pollution travels find it impossible to achieve clean air because of the influx of out-of-state pollution they cannot control ... (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut would be unable to meet the federal standard for ozone even if they eliminated all in-state emission sources).
So why has a cap and trade solution suddenly become too complicated for the Wall Street Journal?

Hiking on Hawaii Island
Hawaii Island is heaven for hikers. Whether you're looking for a challenging trail on fields of lava or short, scenic hikes through historic sites, you'll find just what you're looking for on Hawaii Island.
Most hiking adventures begin in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which offers more than 150-miles of trails. Stroll through Nahuku (Thurston Lava Tube), take a day hike along Chain of Craters Road or walk over volcanic fields to witness the power of creation as lava flows into the sea in Kalapana. For the well-equipped and experienced backpackers, hike overnight in the park's backcountry. See a ranger at the Kilauea Visitor Center to get trail information, maps and permits.
Other famous hikes can be found on the Kona Coast on the Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail, also known as the King's Trail. This 175-mile trail weaves through hundreds of important cultural sites including sacred heiau (temples), Hawaiian fishponds, petroglyphs and other historic sites. You'll also find a variety of other amazing hikes including the Pololu Valley Lookout in North Kohala which leads to a black sand beach and guided hikes into lush Waipio Valley, known as the Valley of Kings.
Always hike safely and make sure to take advantage of all safety tips and guidelines. When hiking on Hawaii Island, be sure to be prepared with these essentials:
- Good hiking shoes with tread
- Light pants to keep cool or shorts (but beware that you may get scratches from branches)
- Light shirt to keep cool
- Light rain jacket (especially if you are going into rainforests or valleys)
- Backpack with enough water, lunch and sunscreen (depending on length and intensity of hike)
- Mosquito repellent
- Cellphone
For longer, tougher hikes you may want to also include:
- Work gloves
- Sweater
- First Aid Kit
- Additional water and food
- Flashlight
- Compass
- Map
For safety reasons, DO NOT hike alone if at all possible, but if you must, make sure to tell someone where you are going. DO NOT drink water from freshwater ponds or streams you may encounter during your hike. Avoid entering streams or ponds with open cuts. Stick to the trail and follow trail head markers to avoid getting lost. With a little preparation, your Hawaii Island hike will reap unforgettable rewards.

Appraisals on a state-owned hospital in New Orleans estimate the property is worth far less than the Jindal administration hopes to collect by leasing it to Children's Hospital.
"The worth put on the property is potentially the market value when they have a vested interest in the property," Commissioner of Administration Kristy Nichols said late Wednesday.
The Jindal administration released the appraisals this week after numerous delays. They show New Orleans Adolescent Hospital's 17-acre property is worth, at the most, $20.9 million and is beset with collapsing roofs and possible hazardous materials problems.
Negotiations for Children's Hospital of New Orleans to lease or buy the hospital located in the middle of the property at 210 State St. have dragged on for months.
At the same time, the Jindal administration is banking on the negotiations being successful and generating $35 million. State budget bills direct the dollars towards helping fund public health care in the current year's $25 billion state operating budget, creating a sizeable hole if the negotiations fail.
"We're still in negotiations, but we're confident that we'll reach a deal," Nichols said.
She said the goal is to sign a long-term lease with an upfront payment of at least $35 million.
New Orleans Adolescent Hospital, or NOAH, has a long history. The state acquired the property from the federal government in 1981. The property holds a plantation owner's house and other buildings in addition to the five-story main hospital.
The federal government's agreement with the state stipulated that the property had to be used for "general health care" for 30 years. The hospital treated mentally ill children until Hurricane Katrina hit the city in 2005. After the storm, the hospital started admitting adults as well.
Gov. Bobby Jindal closed the hospital in 2009 as part of a cost-cutting measure. Two years later, the federal government's agreement with the state expired.
In March, Children's Hospital of New Orleans announced plans to buy the hospital, next to its campus on Henry Clay Avenue.
The Legislature later passed a bill stipulating that the property could be leased but not sold.
The state budget commits $35 million from a lease or sale to help pay the state's health care bills.
Brian T. Landry, vice president of marketing for Children's Hospital of New Orleans, said his employer has used space at NOAH for years and would like to acquire the property.
"We're in discussions with the state," he said.
State Rep. Neil Abramson, D-New Orleans, said he is uncertain how the Jindal administration arrived at a $35 million estimate for a sale or lease.
"I was surprised to see the money in the budget at all because that property's in my district and no one had ever said anything to me," he said.
Abramson said he wants the hospital to reopen and provide mental health treatment, reinstating those services in New Orleans.
After the governor closed the hospital, NOAH's inpatient beds moved to Southeast Louisiana Hospital in Mandeville. The governor announced plans this year to close Southeast because of a drop in health care funding.
Despite including $35 million from the sale or lease of NOAH in a proposed budget released before summer, appraisals of the property were not completed until months later.
Nichols said the $35 million was based on the insured value of the property.
Argote, Derbes, Graham, Shuffield and Tatje Inc., of Metairie, concluded in July that the property's market value was $20 million. The firm estimated the hospital was "in mostly average condition" while other buildings' conditions were poor.
"It was apparent during our site visit that hazardous building materials ... were contained within a number of buildings on the site," the appraiser warned.
Argianas and Associates' appraisal arrived in August. The Illinois-headquartered firm estimated the real estate value to be $20.9 million but recommended structural engineering and professional topographical surveys.
Nichols said there are no plans to spend money on correcting problems with the property.
She said other parties besides Children's are interested in the property and a decision will be announced "very, very soon."
Legislators gave the Jindal administration until February to reach an agreement with Children's or start looking for other possible tenants.
If no one signs a lease by Aug. 1, the property reverts to the control of the LSU Board of Supervisors.

Portrait of Édouard Manet
Carolus-Duran (Charles-Auguste-Émile Durand)
French, 1838-1917
Portrait of Édouard Manet, 1876
Oil on canvas
63.5 x 45.4 cm (25 x 17 7/8 inches)
Purchased with the Frederick Lippitt Bequest 2007.68
Carolus-Duran painted Édouard Manet during the summer of 1877 when they were guests of collector Ernest Hoschedé at his villa near Paris. The two artists had been friends since the start of their careers, sharing a passion for Spanish painting. Carolus-Duran had achieved success with paintings of modern life that balanced academic modeling with lively paint application, while Manet's unconventional subjects and style continued to challenge critics and viewers alike. In this intimate portrait, both artists seem to have let down their guard. The reliably elegant Manet appears slightly flushed as he leans on one elbow and props his head with his fist. He wears a jaunty straw boater pushed back on his forehead, a casual complement to his otherwise meticulous attire. Abandoning his own tighter style in favor of Manet's characteristically broad stroke, Carolus-Duran loosely renders his friend's image, effectively painting him "à la Manet."
