I am the Executive Director of Project QUEST. The person referred to in the October, 2015 email is currently enrolled in QUEST. We are pleased that she is with us and anticipate that she will succeed. QUEST is proud that in 2014-15 we served 1088 individuals and had 388 graduates. These graduates entered Project QUEST making an average wage of $9,365 and after training are working in jobs averaging $42,097 annually. Our record speaks for itself. The organization builds the economy by identifying in-demand occupations and matching participants to the living wage careers that pay a living wage and offer benefits.
Review from Guidestar
My daughter works at a hospital in San Antonio, quest told her she had been approved for school she was just waiting to be enrolled she changed her life around she is single and has a daughter then they inform her that she couldn't get it cause she is not a minority i mean what the hell after all she has been through i am personally going to let everybody i know,know how my daughter was done i am not leaving this alone if i have to hire a lawyer this is a terrible way to do someone.
Project Quest is a very important for individuals who reside in San Antonio area. It is a premier nonprofit and an economic development organization. I personally know individuals who have benefited from this program. Under the leadership of the new Executive Direct, Sr. Pearl Ceasar Pearl CDP, Directors, Staff, and volunteers, Project Quest has never been as strong. I will continue to donate and support project Quest.
Review from Guidestar
Project Quest has been amazing for me! I've always wanted to go to nursing school and with their help I've been able to attend and I'm almost done! I'm a single Mom, so when I first started the program I was freaking out on how I was going to be able to pay for school, books, child care and on top of that I worried about who was going to watch my son while I did all this. When I was getting WIC they told me about Project Quest and I figured it was worth checking out. I did and I haven't looked back! This program was great! Most of my worries were over! They will help you with everything! And Maria (my counselor) is always there to support me! She's such a positive person and even when I've gone through some difficult times while in school, she was always there and offering help and suggestions! This program, I feel I will always be endebted to and I'm a strong advocate for it and would recommend it to anyone! They are amazing and I'll never forget them and how they have helped me to achieve my Dream!
Quest has been, and continues to be a huge blessing to me and my family. I could have never attended college without the help of Quest.
Project Quest has helped me with everything that my school wouldn't including financial support, emotional support, adademic support, and especially help with navagating the beaurocracy of the school itself and the state government system. There are many deadlines we have to meet and important dates we have to know and project quest, not the school, has been the one making us all aware of the necessary steps we have to take. Maybe it's just because my school is incompetent, but I really feel like without project quest I would have missed some form I had to fill out or some important date when there was something available that was to my benefit. And they not only help with all the little things, but they also help to put school and life into perspective so that as a student and a family member and a citizen we don't go crazy. Thank you Maria and Virginia and everyone else.
I am happy that there is such a place like Project Quest. Before I knew of them my life had no sense of direction. I was always working hard and getting no where. My life needed meaning and I always wanted to go back to school but I didn't know where to start. Not to mention, I had no way of paying for college. I felt really lost and one day my mom showed me a flyer and I decided to go. It was the best decision I ever made in my life. Everyone there helped me and the counselors are great. I am so happy that this organization exists because without them I wouldn't be in nursing school now. Thanks to everyone who makes this possible!!!!
I, like many others, had been having difficulty making ends meet. With tuition rising and books never getting cheaper, I had no idea of how i was going to make it through my last semester of nursing school. Although I'm single and have no dependents, I moved away from home for nursing school and have monthly bills that just dont stop coming. I was invited to a meeting by one of my classmates and am now blessed in so many ways. Not only have they helped me financially, but the weekly meetings we attend give us that little boost of confidence and support we need when we feel overwhelmed with school. Without they're support, I don't know if i'd still be in school finishing up my last semester.
i really didnt know what to expect; all i knew was that i was trying to get help with school tuition, books, etc. i didnt qualify for grants becuz i wasnt poverty level, though i didnt even make 17K a year and i was single with no dependents, so according to the grant people i didnt need help. i had bills, insurance, rent, food, car, etc. and could barely keep my head above water. some months i had to skip payments, just to save a little to pay my tuition and books. i had already capped out my credit cards with prior tuition payments. when first preparing with project quest, i thought going back and forth for testing and interviews was a little hassel, but then i realized what i could actually gain from this program. it was alot more than just money, it was people really caring about me and really supporting me when i needed it. i didnt expect to get such great service, once i was really part of the program! the counselors are very helpful, even when i needed someone to vent to and they are always very encouraging! i only wish i knew about this when i was starting my nursing program and not during the last year, but late is better than never. i would definitely recommend this center to anyone who needs help. if there is a will, there is a way. please understand that there is criteria that has to be met, but if you keep up your end of the deal, like attending weekly meetings at school, the counselors at project quest is there to help you as much as possible.
Project Quest has been a godsend for me and my family. Due to lifes circumstances I became a single parent with 2 teenagers 3 years ago. Finding a career path at my age was very stressful. I started nursing school and a friend told me about P.Q. WOW!! They paid my tuition, books, uniforms, it was amazing. Previously everything was going on a credit card to be paid off after I was working as an R.N. They have lessened my burdens which has enabled me to concentrate more fully on my studies. They encourage us to do our best and truly care about us as individuals. Our counselor is a wonderful woman. Thanks to Project Quest, a gift from God!!

I don't know if it could be required of the states to permit members to
vote on MNIGS standing if it were appealed, but I would like to see
that. If the membership votes to sustain MNIGS, *then* it could be
appealed to the AB. Personally, I would prefer to see the AB be the
absolute "court of last resort."
Actually, to me what would be even better would be if a very specific
grievance procedure could be set up that would include more of a
"mediation board" approach, instead of everything coming to the AB. The
party filing the grievance would pick one member, the party who filed
against would pick one party, and then there would be a mutually-agreed
upon third party. It would be chaired by an AB member, either picked at
random or on a rotating basis, and it would have to be an AB member with
no connection to either party involved. The AB member would not have a
vote, but would simply chair the proceeding.

CINCINNATI -- All the three players could do was sit and watch one of the worst moments in Xavier's recent history.
Dominique Morrison scored 19 points Sunday, leading Oral Roberts to a 64-42 victory over previously unbeaten Xavier, which couldn't do much with three of its starters sitting on the bench because of suspensions.
The eighth-ranked Musketeers (8-1) didn't have point guard Tu Holloway, shooting guard Mark Lyons or freshman forward Dez Wells, who account for 40 percent of their points. The trio was suspended for a brawl eight days earlier against crosstown rival Cincinnati.
|More on Oral Roberts-Xavier
|Related links
The players began paying the price on Sunday -- their first loss of the season.
"We just weren't ourselves today on both offense and defense," coach Chris Mack said.
The depleted lineup couldn't get in sync or keep up with the experienced Golden Eagles (8-4), who start three seniors and two juniors and knew they had a good opportunity with Xavier so short-handed.
"Full-strength it might have been a different game, but they weren't here to play so we don't know," Morrison said. "We can't control what happened last week. We could only control what happened on the court today."
They were fully in control after the opening minutes.
Travis Taylor scored 11 points for Xavier, which lost for only the second time in the last 46 games at the Cintas Center. It was the Musketeers' worst loss at Cintas, which opened for the 2000-01 season, and their worst home loss overall since an 80-49 defeat to La Salle on Jan. 23, 2000 at Cincinnati Gardens.
Xavier had the week off since its 76-53 win over Cincinnati on the Musketeers' home court. The game was called with 9.4 seconds left when a brawl broke out. Each team suspended four players.
Holloway, one of the nation's top point guards, got a one-game suspension for instigating the brawl with his trash talking. Lyons got two games and will also miss Xavier's opening game against Long Beach State in the Diamond Head Classic in Hawaii on Thursday.
Wells got a four-game suspension, along with walk-on Landen Amos. They were all in street clothes on the bench for the game. Holloway was the last one out of the locker room, walking slowly across the court by himself in a yellow button-down shirt.
Mack went to midcourt and spoke for 55 seconds before the player introductions, wanting to address the fans directly.
"We were all embarrassed by our behavior last weekend," he told the crowd of 9,678. "It's extremely disappointing and in no way was a representation of what our university and our basketball program is all about."
Junior guard Brad Redford and freshman point guard Dee Davis made their first career starts for the Musketeers, who were missing their top two scorers in Holloway (17.6 points) and Lyons (17.4). Davis had 10 points, Redford two.
Xavier center Kenny Frease played with a prominent cut and bruise below his left eye, caused by a punch from Cincinnati's Yancy Gates during the brawl. Frease needed seven stitches. He finished with four points on 2 of 9 shooting.
"A lot of things broke down," Frease said. "It wasn't just one thing that they did better than us."
Frease had Xavier's first field goal, a bank shot that fueled a 5-1 opening spurt against Oral Roberts, which was coming off a 67-61 loss at Gonzaga on Thursday night. The Golden Eagles then patiently took advantage of the Musketeers' inexperience on the court in every way.
"Well, it was a tough week for our program, even tougher today," Mack said. "It's disappointing. From tough times, tough people last, and we certainly have to get better and improve. Some of the reserves on our team didn't play particularly well, and I didn't coach particularly well."
Damen Bell-Holter got open under the basket for two uncontested layups during a 12-0 run that put the Golden Eagles ahead to stay, 16-7. Xavier missed seven of its first 10 shots and couldn't get into a flow offensively without its top two ball handlers.
The defense was a problem, too, with Golden Eagles getting wide open.
"As a team, we didn't step up to the challenge of guarding every play like it was the last play we'd ever play," Xavier forward Andre Walker said. "They didn't do anything differently. Our defensive coverage would break down, one guy wasn't sure what the other would do. Then we were just frazzled for the rest of the game."
Warren Niles hit a 3-pointer and a pull-up jumper during a 10-point run that pushed it to 31-14. Xavier shot only 36 percent from the field and had 12 turnovers in the half, which ended with the Golden Eagles up 36-19 -- Xavier's lowest-scoring first half in more than a year.
Xavier never got closer than 16 points in the second half, with the lead getting as high as 30 points.

Gay of Isle of Wight, North Carolina and Georgia
The Gay family is found in the Channel Islands after the Norman Conquest.
They located later in Kent and Devon. The Gays were shown in the
Visitations of Kent in 1674. Their arms were: "Gules crusily or 3 lions
rampant argent." Vivian's "Devon", has a large chart of this family with
arms: "Or, on a fesse sable between three eschollops azure, sic Losenges
enjoined argent."
Henry1 Gay, first of his family in Virginia, was a headright of James Long
who patented 300 acres on the western Branch of the Nansemond River, in
Nansemond County, Feb. 8, 1663, for the transportation of six persons among
whom was Henry Gay. There was a vast trade in headrights. Some of the most
prominent people in Virginia sold their own headrights. The Nansemond
County records were destroyed so we have to rely upon records of adjacent
counties for information.
Henry Gay, on April 22, 1669, received a grant form Sir William Berkeley,
Gov., of 400 acres of land in the Upper Parish of Nansemond for the
transportation of 8 persons consisting of the headrights of 4 children
assigned by Thomas Cullen and Andrew Clawson and four other persons whose
names seem to be indistinct tot he person who copied them. The grant was
adjacent to the lands of James Collins and Phillip Dewell. Henry Gay died
about 1688 for in 1689 Robert Lawrence married his widow, Joane Gay. On May
1, 1689, Henry Gay II, son of Henry I, made an agreement with Lewis Brian
(Bryan) as follows: "Lewis Brian of Nansemond stands indebted to HENRY GAY
of Isle of Wight, Feb. 1688-89. Conditions are that Lewis Brian will not
molest Robert Lawrence where he now lives on land formerly belonging to
Henry Gay, decd., from the main river up to Burnt House Branch. Henry Gay
also stands indebted to Lewis Brian and promises to pay in tobacco.
Conditions are that Henry Gay will not molest Lewis Brian in possession of
land adjacent to John Brian Sr." May 1, 1689, Wits.: John Brian, James
Robert Lawrence, stepfather of Henry Gay, made his will April 20, 1720,
probated Jan. 23, 1720/21 (badly torn). I give and bequeath
unto - - - - - - - - - - son Robert Lawrence shall have it
excepting - - - - - - - - - - - wife's death. Son-in-law HENRY GAY shall
have a chest and whom I also make my
executor - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Son-in-law JOHN GAY. Wits.: Ambrose
Sanders, Jane Gay.
Appraisal was made by THOMAS GAY, Jacob Darden and Thos. Stoker on same day,
total personal property £38 6 sh. 15d. (Son-in-law in that day meant
"step son")
Page 104
The known children of Henry Gay I were HENRY II, JOHN GAY and THOMAS GAY.
Thomas as son of "Joane Lawrence of Isle of Wight and Rebecca Page, dau. Of
Thomas Page of Isle of Wight were married on the 11th day of 11th month
1699. (Minutes Lower Va. Meeting 1673-1709). Thomas Gay was evidently a
Quaker and lived in Nansemond.
A Thomas Gay, a Quaker, made his will in Isle of Wight Oct. 26, 1750,
probated Dec. 6, 1750, as follows: to son JOHN, manor plantation; to sons
THOMAS and JOHN certain legacies when of age. Desires the Monthly Meeting
to settle the rest of my children, namely, CHARLES, MARY, WILLIAM, EDMOND
and JOHNATHAN amongst FRIENDS for their education and gives them rest of
movable estate. Wits. John Williams, Richard Pope, Mary Coggan.
This Thomas had children apparently too young for him to be the Thomas Gay
who married Rebecca Page in 1699. He may have been the son of the first
William Bryan of Isle of Wight, in 1722, made a deed of gift of land to "my
Son in Law, Thomas Gay". That phrase usually meant "step son" in those days
but this Thomas Gay cannot definitely be placed.
Jonathan Gay, evidently son of Thomas Gay who died in 1750 in Isle of Wight,
made his will in Northampton Oct. 13, 1821. He names wife MARTHA, dau. MARY
PALMER, sons WILLIAM and GREEN GAY; daus. SARY NANCY and ALICE GAY; grandson
James W. Newsom. Exrs. Wm. And Green Gay. Wits. Henry Boon Sr., Henry Boon
Jonathan Gay served in the Continental Line of Revolutionary Army as a
private for 3 years and received a grant of 224 acres of land.

PARIS (Oct. 23)
Social workers of the French Jewish community were instructed here yesterday on how to welcome and integrate an estimated 10,000 Jewish refugees from North Africa who have immigrated to France since the Six-Day War last June, the largest movement of its kind since the exodus of Algerian Jews in 1962.
These new arrivals, about 6,000 from Tunisia and 4,000 from Morocco, will require aid from the Fonds Social Juif Unifie, the central French Jewish welfare agency, and the Liaison Board of the Jewish Associations of Peoples from North Africa. More refugees are expected in the next few weeks. Jacques Lazarus, speaking on behalf of the Association of Algerian Jews, called for harmonious and fruitful cooperation between the welfare fund and the associations of arrivals from North Africa. Collaboration will be required in all areas, particularly housing, work and information, he said.

A proposed takeover bid for the information technology software company triggered a 21 per cent surge in its stock to 11.5¢ on Friday.
Powerlan's former chief executive has teamed up with Chinese business intelligence and billing software maker AsiaInfo to make a conditional offer to buy out the company at 10¢ a share.
The bidder claims that the offer price is 33 per cent higher than on December 9 when it approached
The bidder also highlighted the fact that the stock has been underperforming over the past four years with a loss 79 per cent.
The stock touched an intraday high of 15¢ on Friday but gave up some of these gains as Powerlan announced at the same time that it was proceeding with its highly dilutive 4-for-1 renounceable rights issue at 6¢ a share.
The raising is seen as an attempt by its largest shareholder, CPS Group Investments, to lift its holdings. CPS currently controls just over 40 per cent of the company and is controlled by Powerlan's chairman.

Artificial Photosynthesis uses a solar-powered device, called an artificial leaf, which converts sunlight and water into hydrogen and oxygen (splitting water). The hydrogen could then be used directly as liquid fuel or channeled into a fuel cell. The process mimics the natural photosynthesis that generates energy for plants through plant leaves.
Benefits of Artificial Photosynthesis
The current technologies that generate power from solar energy lack something important: the ability to store energy. Artificial Photosynthesis solves this problem by making the final product into a storable fuel.
Different Types of Fuels
Artificial Photosynthesis has the potential to produce more than one type of fuel. The final product could be liquid hydrogen, which can be used like gasoline in hydrogen-powered engines, or methanol, which can be used to directly run cars.
No Need To Recharge Electronics Again
Electronics could automatically recharge when they are getting low on power by simply absorbing and storing energy from the Sun.
Reduce Global Warming
The use of Artificial Photosynthesis on a momentous scale could take in and clean up the excessive amounts of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere and reverse the harmful effects of the greenhouse effect.
More Food Everywhere
Artificial Photosynthesis could help solve the global food shortage here on Earth, and could help product food for future space colonies. Nature's photosynthesis synthesizes carbohydrates, the source of food on which virtually all life depends on. By mastering photosynthesis, the amount of farming needed would substantially decrease and World hunger would diminish.
Space Survival
If the processes of artificial photosynthesis were mastered, it would be possible to take the CO2 and urine given off by the astronaut and convert it to oxygen and food. This would make space colonies a much more realistic vision and allow for trips of longer duration.
Free And Unlimited Energy Supply
For as long as the sun lives. The sun is expected to die when its core runs out of hydrogen in about 6 billion years. By then humans would have found a new home.

As someone from Missouri which made the top five listing of Best States for Autism, let me just say that you can't believe everything you read. Missouri is NOT a good state for services for autism. I live in the No. 2 rated district in the state - Lee's Summit, just south of Kansas City. Lee's Summit is a great district for typical children but the autism population, specifically, is treated like an ugly stepchild. There are several due process hearings against Lee's Summit currently that revolve around children with autism.
The other services listed for Missouri was the Thompson Center at MU and the Judevine Consultation Center. Both of these centers are top knotch but Judevine is not state-wide. It is located in St. Louis and is only available in the middle and right side of the state. The Thompson Center only offers diagnostics and assessments. It is trying to open a school for children with autism but it is not open at present.
Joyce Lindsey
Communication is the essence of human life.
I am also in Lee's Summit. I co-founded the Lee's Summit Autism Support Group because Lee's Summit is doing such a lousy job.
I have met with the superintendent, the school board, legislators, and the department of education about our issues. One and a half years later, nothing has changed.
Another issue is diagnosis. If you suspect that your child has autism, it takes up to a year to get into a qualified hospital to get a diagnosis. We know how precious that lost year can be.

Saturday Check in at your chosen airport for your flight to Venice Marco Polo, where on arrival we will transfer you to hotel in Lido di Jesolo for check in and free time before dinner and the first of seven nights' stay.
Sunday Breakfast, and then a welcome meeting will introduce you to the area and give you the opportunity to book extra optional excursions. After that, the day is at leisure in Jesolo until dinner.
Monday Today we enjoy our first full–day excursion, to Venice & The Islands of the Lagoon. We stop in Venice first where you'll see some of the famous sights, then take a vaporetto across the Lagoon to the islands of Burano, known for its colourful houses (said to guide the fishermen home in heavy fog) and lace industry, and Murano, world–famous for its glass manufacturing and featuring a Glass Museum in the Palazzo Giustinian. You never see ancient Romans in movies holding glass goblets, but they did exist, and you can see some here. A must for lovers of fine arts and crafts.
Tuesday A free day, or if you prefer you can book today's optional excursion to Verona and Lake Garda with your tour representative in resort.
Wednesday It's time to head for the mountains today on our excursion to Cortina d'Ampezzo in the Dolomites. Cortina is a Winter Olympics town, jet–set resort and scene of a Bond movie (remember Roger Moore skiing onto a bobsleigh run, chased by ice–spiked motorcyclists with machine–guns?). Even non–Bond fans will appreciate the Dolomites – a unique range of huge, silvery–grey mountains, most over 10,000ft, with dizzying drops, canyons and karst formations, and said to be the most beautiful mountain range in the world. We start with a walking tour of Cortina and some free time, then relocate to Lake Misurina, a famous beauty spot, before returning to the hotel for in time for dinner.
Thursday & Friday Free days at leisure in resort. On Thursday you can join the Treviso and wine tasting excursion if you wish, or you may decide you'd like to go back to Venice for some further exploration time on one of the days, which you can do under your own steam from Jesolo. There are a few different options, but one way is to buy a combined bus and boat ticket† which costs around €20 return. You take an ATVO bus from Jesolo to Punta Sabbioni (the port for departures to Venice), then an ACTV water bus from the nearby jetty. Alternatively, simply relax and unwind in your resort!
Saturday Breakfast and then transfer to the airport for your flight home.

In a day and age, when the focus of Christmas turns more to the commercial aspects rather than the true spiritual meaning behind
it, I thought I'd share the Christmas Story in a way that we of the "Facebook Age" could relate to. I really like this depiction of the events of Christ's birth from the view from Joseph's Facebook profile. (see the full video below)

All quotes by Kahlil Gibran
(208 quotes found)
"It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations"
"Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife."
"But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully."
"But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls."

2009 Olga Raffault Chinon Les Picasses
Retail: $32.99
$25.99per bottle
Product Description:
"Since Olga's death a few years ago, Domaine Olga Raffault is currently run by her granddaughter Sylvie and her husband Eric de la Vigerie. The estate has terrific plots of land in the Savigny-en-Véron district hard by the Vienne riverbanks. The 'les Picasses' vineyard stands out from the rest: old vines of 50-ish years on a fairly steep slope from the riverbank that is alluvial clay with a chalk limestone base. The fruit is particularly expressive of dark fruits of cassis and dark cherries with a terrific mineral content and good acidity for structure. The winemaking is most traditional. The grapes are, of course, handpicked and fermented in stainless-steel. The wines are then aged in larger, neutral oak and sometimes chestnut - a traditional barrel wood in the region. The 'Picasses' spends two to three years in oak, to reduce the wine and soften the tannins, and is usually released about 4 years after the vintage. Raffault's 'les Picasses' often has a light garnet color belying the depth of fruit flavor and complexity. Its style is rustic, quite earthy, with hints of orange zest and deep, dark cherry flavor. The tannins are soft, but present, and the mineral complexity in the finish is superb.

Gaye Nichols travels from the top to the bottom of the Central Darling Shire, five days a week, twelve hours a day, to deliver mail, groceries and supplies.
"I love the freedom and being by myself... and being a part of this marvellous landscape," she says.
"That's one part of it and the other part is meeting all the people because you touch their lives and they touch mine."
Gaye's job gives her the opportunity to visit people in all different sorts of circumstances, catching glimpses of station life along the way.
"They might be lambing, they might be doing something in the yard, they might be on the road and we'll meet," she says.
Not ever having contact with station people before, Gaye feels privileged to become a part of their lives.
"I've learnt about their resilience, their character, and their need for socialisation," she says.
"It's like the mail man is here! It's bringing good news.... and pleasure to their lives."
For many a mail run could become repetitive and dull over time but Gaye insists she continues to be inspired every day, cherishing every moment that it brings.
"When I set out I think, 'on the road again, here we go, this is it.' It's a constantly changing tapestry of life, wonderful."

Metro Future Store
tour report
The METRO "Future Store"
Special Report
Scandal: The "Undead Machine"
Scandal Overview
The METRO Future Store has boasted for some time about its unique RFID tag "deactivator" that can supposedly disable tags before consumers leave the store. The idea is that deactivated tags will be impossible for anyone to read outside of the store, so a consumer's purchases cannot be remotely identified after purchase.
problem is it doesn't work.
There was so much hype around METRO's "deactivator" that it was one of the main things I wanted to see on my tour of the METRO Future Store. Imagine my shock at discovering this device does NOT deactivate the most crucial element of the tags!
This picture
shows what the deactivation kiosk looks like.
METRO's Deactivation Claim
Here is what METRO promises in the brochure it gives to customers:
Actual text scanned from a METRO Future Store brochure titled "RFID: A New Technology For Your Shopping Experience." (To view the full brochure, click here: inside outside)
These claims about the "De-Activator" kiosk
are grossly misleading. While the kiosk does overwrite the barcode
information, it leaves key identifying information on the tags "live."
Read on to see how.
The Deactivator that Doesn't Deactivate
In this photo, Dr. Gerd Wolfram, Metro's RFID Project Leader (in brown), shows us how the deactivator overwrites the programmable bar code information contained on each RFID tag with zeros.
I spend some time staring at the screen, waiting for the tag's unique ID number to overwrite as well, since that's this data that poses the greatest privacy risk to consumers. After nothing happens for a few awkward moments, Dr. Wolfram explains to me that Metro's technology does not allow for this number to be overwritten.
Surrounded by METRO executives, I am waiting for the deactivator to do what it claims and delete the unique information from their item-level RFID tags. I soon discover that the tags cannot be deactivated by the "Easy Deactivation" kiosk after all.
Evidence of the "Undead" RFID Tag
Below is an image of the deactivator kiosk screen after an RFID tag has supposedly been "deactivated."
The string of numbers across the top represents the read-writable portion of the tag. Before placing tagged products on the shelf, METRO programs the products' bar code numbers into this portion of the tag. Like a bar code, this data is not unique from item to item (i.e., all Pantene shampoo bottles have the same "barcode" number programmed into this part of their tags).
METRO's definition
of "deactivating" the tag involves simply overwriting this "soft-coded"
barcode data with zeros. But the bar code number was never the real
problem, since a generic bar code number does not allow for the linking
of individual items with
consumers. The real problem is the string of numbers BELOW, where the
tag's unique, hard-coded ID number
resides. This number can still be read, even after this kiosk has done
its job.
Screen shot of METRO's so-called "deactivation kiosk." This shows what the screen looks like moments after a
shopper presses the "deactivate" button on the touch screen.
Dr. Wolfram, the Metro research executive in charge of the Future Store project, has confirmed that the deactivation kiosk cannot overwrite, kill, or otherwise deactivate this hard-coded tag data.
This means that anyone with a 13.56 MHZ reader can capture the unique tag information -- even after the customer buys the product, believes she has "deactivated" the tag, and leaves the store.
Representing that the RFID tags have been killed when they have, in fact, not been, is far worse than simply not killing the tags at all. Providing consumers with a false (and potentially dangerous) sense of security is, in essence, fraudulent.

At least with the Lord Chamberlain there was a right of appeal. Even the Government's misguided religious hatred legislation would have erected numerous fences between the offended party and the courts. Now, however, we have entered a no-man's land of censorship, where writers' freedoms are in the hands of so-called "communities" and their fragile sensitivities. Can this be true, in a country where the rule of law still holds sway?
Today's Guardian reports that filming of Monica Ali's novel Brick Lane will not take place in the part of London where it is set, after growing protests from a small group of local residents. The campaign has stirred up sufficient hostility to scare off Ruby Films and their backers at Film Four, who intend to take their production elsewhere. Meanwhile, opposition to the project has grown, and campaigners now seek to prevent filming of the book wherever it takes place.
Abdus Silique, convenor of the Campaign Against Monica Ali's Film Brick Lane, objects to Ali's depiction of the area's Sylheti Bangladeshis. Campaigners cite passages in the book in which characters mock Sylhetis as "dirty little monkeys", who are: "Uneducated. Illiterate. Close-minded." They miss the remaining 150,000 words in which Sylheti characters are described with grace, compassion and wit, just as they missed them when the book was published in 2003 to an earlier round of hostility. Could it be that what these predominantly male protestors object to is not the book's depiction of race, but its analysis of gender, and its heroine's decision to leave her tubby, troubled husband and set up in business on her own? Could it be, in fact, that they haven't read the book, which offers a portrayal of this community that, whilst partial, is deeply sympathetic and enlivening?
As ever in such cases, the rumour mill works like a candy-floss machine, swirling ever more sickening content onto something originally palatable. Brick Lane restaurateurs are said to object to a scene in which a leech falls from a character's hair into a curry pot. Yet no such scene occurs in either the novel or, according to the production company, the screenplay.
Germaine Greer fuelled the campaigners' fires earlier this week when she granted them "the moral right to keep the film-makers out". She confirmed their belief that Ali - as the daughter of a white British mother and a father from Dhaka - was not entitled to represent their community, and did so with all the casual racism of a white author. To say that local residents have the right to be upset about their portrayal in the media is one thing; to say that anyone representing a "community" has the right to hinder the free speech of writers and film companies and enflame considerable tension, is quite another. There is no basis for it in philosophy or law, and it is no foundation for a healthy pluralistic society. Besides, it's absurd to say that Monica Ali can't tell this story because she's not sufficiently one of them. Who hands out licences to multicultural storytellers? Not Germaine Greer, surely.
Ali's novel may not tell the whole story about Brick Lane. There is a flood of films, plays and novels yet to come from Britain's minorities. Yet that flood risks being stemmed before it has even begun if these campaigners have their way. Already we have seen Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti's play Bezhti closed down at the Birmingham Rep, and Yasmin Whittaker-Khan targeted for her depiction of south Asian mujra, or dancing houses, in her play Bells. This is not a problem by any means confined to the Asian diaspora. Gary Mitchell has been terrorised by the UDA for his depiction of their "community" in his plays and TV films, and the national tour of Jerry Springer the Opera was forced to abandon several venues, ultimately running at a loss, because of the opposition of Christian fundamentalists.
Yet unlike some other examinations of British multiculturalism, Brick Lane ends on a note of optimism:
"She said, "But you can't skate in a sari."
Razia was already lacing her boots. "This is England," she said. "You can do whatever you like."
This cultural miscegenation may upset some middle-aged shopkeepers, but surely we'd all like to see more skating in saris, and less pontificating. And if pontification is going to lead to censorious levels of hostility, let's have a bit of courage from filmmakers, and a bit of commitment from the police. Most importantly, let's see some leadership from the Home Office and the DCMS. In its amended form, the Racial and Religious Hatred Act includes an unprecedented defence of the right to freedom of expression, whether for artistic or religious purposes, but the Government is yet to act on behalf of artists. With each new instance of community censorship, the space for freedom of expression in this country - especially concerning the hidden stories of minority communities - shrinks.
Community censorship smiled upon by the state is state censorship by proxy. When Parliament closed the theatres for 19 years in the middle of the 17th century, it was not because of puritanical objections to the stage, but because theatres tended towards social unease. Likewise, whenever individuals (let's strip them of their claim to "community" status) stir up sufficient anxiety that there is a risk of public disorder, they are now given precedence over the need of British society as a whole to enjoy our vibrant and increasingly international culture. It's easy to object to censorship when it's being pursued by regimes in Turkey, China or Iran. Why should we be obliged by liberal fellow-travellers to condone it on our own streets?

Hodgkin's Lymphoma in the Elderly: A Different Disease in Patients Over 60
Hodgkin's Lymphoma in the Elderly: A Different Disease in Patients Over 60
With improved prognosis for patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), interest has increasingly focused on high-risk groups such as elderly patients. Advanced age at presentation is still one of the strongest negative risk factors. Many different factors influence the prognosis in elderly patients. These include biologic differences such as more aggressive histology, different distribution of disease, more frequent diagnosis of advanced stage, and shorter history of disease. In addition, however, aging itself and associated factors such as comorbidity, reduced tolerability of conventional therapy, more severe toxicity and treatment-related deaths, failure to maintain dose intensity, shorter survival after relapse, and death due to other causes contribute to the poorer outcome in elderly patients. Besides the evaluation of specific causes and risk factors, this review highlights recent and ongoing studies for elderly patients with HL as well as international approaches and recommendations for this age group.
Treatment and prognosis of patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) has substantially improved during the past few decades, rendering this entity one of the most curable of human cancers. This success is mainly attributed to the introduction and optimization of effective chemotherapy regimens and progress in radiation techniques. However, these improvements have so far not been extended to the group of elderly patients presenting with HL.
In contrast to younger patients, elderly patients with HL still have an unsatisfactory prognosis. Advanced age at presentation is one of the strongest negative risk factors. Different study groups showed significantly poorer outcome for elderly HL patients compared with younger patients when similar treatments were given.[1-14] Many different factors influence the prognosis in elderly patients. These include biologic differences such as more aggressive histology, different distribution of disease, more frequent diagnosis of advanced stage, and shorter history of disease. But aging itself and associated factors such as comorbidity,[4] reduced tolerability of conventional therapy,[5] more severe toxicity and treatment-related deaths, failure to maintain dose intensity,[6-9] shorter survival after relapse,[10,11] and death due to other causes[12] also contribute to the poorer outcome in elderly patients.
Within population-based studies, the proportion of patients older than 60 years ranges from 20% to 44%.[6,9,15] However, the number of elderly patients participating in prospective trials is considerably lower than that of younger patients. This is mainly due to the fact that most clinical trials have age limits or study entry criteria that exclude older patients with severe comorbidity or poor performance status. Although some retrospective analyses have enrolled selected elderly patients in standard treatment protocols, data from larger randomized studies designed for this age group are lacking.
Thus, besides the evaluation of toxicity, response, and outcome of established therapies, new strategies with sufficient efficacy and better tolerability are needed for elderly patients. Different modified or new regimens specifically targeted at elderly patients are currently being evaluated by different study groups.[16-19]
Here, we review the literature on elderly HL patients, including biologic and clinical prognostic factors as well as clinical studies and future approaches for this group of patients.
Biologic Differences in the Elderly
In Europe and the United States, the annual incidence of HL is about 2 to 3 per 100,000 persons at risk, and has remained remarkably constant over the past few decades.[20] In industrialized countries, the age at onset has historically shown two peaks—one in the third decade and a second for patients older than 50 years. However, in more recent analyses, the second peak seems to disappear, since many cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) were misclassified as HL in the past.[21]
The incidence of HL in patients older than 60 years is still not exactly clear. The proportion of elderly patients participating in prospective trials is usually low, mostly due to age restraints for the trials or the fact that exclusion criteria are not met. Generally, more elderly HL patients were represented in studies performed in the 1970s or 1980s. For example, in earlier Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) studies, 19% of patients were older than 60 years.[3] However, central pathology review was not performed in these studies. Given that a more recent retrospective reevaluation of elderly HL patients diagnosed decades ago indicates that a substantial proportion of elderly patients with B-cell lymphomas were initially misdiagnosed as having HL,[21] meaningful studies in elderly patients require a reference pathology expert diagnosis. Accordingly, elderly patients represented 8% of all diagnoses in the follow-up CALGB trial, which included pathology review.[22]
Within population-based studies, the proportion of elderly HL patients ranges from 20% to 44%: In a Swedish study, 163 of 202 patients treated between 1979 and 1988 were confirmed HL cases after histopathologic review. Of these, 61 (31%) were older than 60 years.[9] Another study from England prospectively evaluated the incidence and outcome of HL patients in the Northern Health Region (population of 3 million) between 1991 and 1998, irrespective of entry into a specific trial. Of the newly diagnosed HL patients, 20% were older than 60 years. The age-specific incidence was 1.97/100,000 for those aged 60 to 69 and 2,18/100,000 for those aged 70 years or older.[15,23]
Histologic Subtype and Disease Characteristics
A retrospective analysis from the German Hodgkin Study Group (GHSG) revealed statistically significant differences in disease-related characteristics between younger and older HL patients. Elderly patients presented more frequently with B symptoms, elevated sedimentation rate, mixed cellularity (MC) histologic subtype, and poorer Karnofsky performance score. Less frequently found in this group were bulky disease, large mediastinal mass, and nodular sclerosis (NS) subtype. Although the MC subtype was present more often in elderly patients (35% vs 19%), NS histology was most frequently observed in both age groups (41% vs 66%).[13]
In smaller case series, others have reported similar findings.[5,8,22] As an example, a recent study from the Nebraska Lymphoma Study Group found sex, stage, Karnofsky performance score, lactate dehydrogenase, number of extranodal sites, B symptoms, size of largest mass and histologic subtype prognostically relevant.[5] More recent studies or those using pathology expert review[7,12,22] observed fewer patients with lymphocyte-predominant and lymphocyte-depleted subtypes.[1,3,8,24] This reflects improved histomorphology allowing a more precise classification of different HL subtypes and the distinction of HL from NHL.
In accordance with the findings of the GHSG and the Nebraska Group, the difference in outcome between young and elderly patients seems to be due, at least in part, to an intrinsic difference in the disease. Elderly patients present more often with poorer risk factors such as B symptoms or a shorter history of disease.[24-27] Furthermore, although staging procedures have usually been more comprehensive in the young, many studies found advanced stages more often in elderly patients.[2,9]
Clinical Differences in the Elderly
Treatment-Related Toxicity
It is unlikely that biology and disease-related factors alone explain the differences in outcome between younger and elderly HL patients. Treatment-related factors such as reduced tolerability of conventional therapy,[5] more severe toxicity and treatment-related deaths, failure to maintain dose intensity,[6-9] and shorter survival after relapse[10,11] further worsen the prognosis of the elderly age group.
The GHSG analysis including 373 elderly HL patients (≥ 60 years) found more treatment-associated toxicity. Higher mortality during treatment as well as lower dose intensity were the major factors explaining the poorer overall outcome.[13] Elderly patients were less likely to complete the full intended course of treatment. The most frequent reason for premature termination of chemotherapy or radiotherapy was excessive toxicity. Considering only the intended number of treatment cycles, fewer elderly patients received the full number of cycles. Dose adjustment was necessary significantly more often in older patients, especially during treatment for advanced-stage disease. The administration of more intensive treatment resulted in even more dose reductions and early withdrawals in elderly patients. Thus, the dose intensity delivered was generally lower, explaining the poorer outcome of elderly patients, particularly those in advanced stages of disease. All relevant adverse effects occur more often in elderly patients. Above all, leukopenia, infections, and cardiopulmonary toxicity were the limiting factors in treatment delivery and contributed substantially to the higher treatment-related mortality in the elderly.[13]
Other investigators have also observed this increased toxicity and reduced tolerance of treatment associated with higher mortality and a worse outcome in elderly HL patients.[3,7-9,12,27] Levis et al showed that in the group of elderly patients treated with a conventional hybrid MOPP/ABVD regimen (mechlorethamine [Mustargen], vincristine [Oncovin], procarbazine [Matulane], prednisone, doxorubicin [Adriamycin], bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine), acute toxic death occurred in 19% of patients compared with 4% in the group treated with CVP/CEP (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone, carboplatin, etoposide, bleomycin).[16] Among patients treated with VEPEMB (vinblastine, cyclophosphamide, procarbazine, prednisolone, etoposide, mitoxantrone, bleomycin), 3% died during therapy.[17] Another population-based study reported a 21% treatment-related death rate in patients over 60 years old treated with curative intent.[9]
In the HD9elderly study of the GHSG, elderly patients with advanced-stage HL suffered from considerably more severe hematologic toxicity than younger patients when being treated with intensified chemotherapy (BEACOPP; bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, prednisone) compared to a standard treatment (COPP-ABVD; cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, prednisone, doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine). Acute toxic deaths occurred in 21% of patients treated with BEACOPP compared with 8% for COPP-ABVD recipients. As a result, in contrast to younger patients, there was no benefit in changing to the more effective treatment for the older age group.[14]
Comorbidity and Death From Other Causes
Although most authors describe treatment-related toxicity and mortality as major obstacles in this age group, patient-related factors such as comorbidity[4] and death from unrelated causes[12] further contribute to the poorer outcome of elderly patients.
In a population-based series comprising more patients with serious comorbidity than allowed in clinical trials, van Spronsen et al studied the age-specific prevalence of comorbidity and its relationship to treatment and outcome in 194 HL and 904 NHL patients diagnosed between 1993 and 1996. The most common comorbid conditions were cardiovascular disease (18%), hypertension (13%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (13%), and diabetes mellitus (10%) for elderly HL patients. Serious comorbidity was found in more than half of all lymphoma patients who were 60 years and older. Elderly patients with serious comorbidity received chemotherapy less often, which is likely to adversely affect survival, as was especially indicated by a decreased survival within the first 4 months after diagnosis.[4]
Guinee et al compared the clinical course of 136 previously untreated HL patients aged 60 to 79 years with that of 223 patients aged 40 to 59 years, treated between 1977 and 1983. When the prognosis of all patients was examined, a definite change in the pattern of survival appeared in the 60- to 69-year-old cohort. The entire group of elderly patients (60 to 79) had twice the risk of dying from HL and four times the risk of dying from other causes, compared with the younger group. The authors concluded that HL should have the same natural history and similar risk factor pattern in the elderly and should be amenable to existing therapeutic approaches. Thus, the prognosis of older patients with HL has been obscured in previous studies by the inclusion of deaths due to other causes in survival estimates.[12]
Another adverse factor might be an inadequate staging and treatment in elderly patients. In a study of 52 patients 60 to 75 years old who were treated for HL at Stanford between 1968 and 1980, the 5-year survival rate in the adequately staged and treated group was 86%, compared with only 35% in the inadequately staged group.[2] Another study found that patients over the age of 50 years were more likely to receive suboptimal doses of chemotherapy, which was associated with more treatment failure and relapse.[28]

If you need a bunch of these, you can get good bulk discounts on Digikey, part # : 1N4148FS-ND
You know you have a good supplier if they not only admit they're not the cheapest, but also point you to who is cheaper. I appreciate the complete honesty, Sparkfun!
you know what because of that complete honesty from Sparkfun im going to not order from digi but order from Sparkfun!
The SMT equivalent is LL4148, unfortunately in the not so practical MELF package. (MELF = Many End up Lying on the Floor)
Maybe the most heavily stocked item on SparkFun :P
That's funny because it's currently out of stock and there is no ETA.
what part in the Sparkfun Eagle library should I use?
Eagle comes with a number of standard libraries with thousands of parts; there's a 1N4148 in the DIODES library. You can search through the active libraries by using wildcards ("*") in the part name.

According to the SEC, the nine defendants made more than $6 million in illegal profits after placing suspicious stock and options trades based on inside information in advance of the Aug. 3 announcement of Adidas' all-cash purchase of Reebok. Shares of Reebok jumped more than 30% on the news.
After scrutinizing activity in nine brokerage accounts based in the USA and overseas and combing through phone records, the SEC says it was able to link all the defendants, who resided in the USA, Germany and Croatia. The four U.S.-based accounts were set up at CyberTrader, Ameritrade, OptionsXpress and Charles Schwab.
"All the defendants appear to have acted in concert," says the SEC's David Rosenfeld. He says the investigation is ongoing.
The SEC alleges that David Pajcin, 28, of Clifton, N.J., the nephew of Sonja Anticevic of Croatia, placed or directed some of the trades and tipped off others. Also charged: Monika Vujovic, 23, of New York; Elvis Santana, 23, of Brooklyn, N.Y.; Henry Siegel, 55, of Pomona, N.Y. In addition to Anticevic, non-U.S. residents charged included: Zoran Sormaz, 40, of Croatia; Perica Lopandic, 38, of Germany; and Ilija Borac, 50, of Croatia.
The final defendant was a "certain unknown person."
Lawyers representing Siegel, Vujovic and Santana had no comment in court, Reuters reported.
The largest ill-gotten gains, according to the SEC, involved the U.S.-based purchase of call options, which are bets on rising prices. The four domestic accounts, which netted $4 million in profit, accounted for 78% of the total call option activity on Aug. 1 and Aug. 2. On Aug. 4, USA TODAY was the first to report the suspicious trading.

A Lonely Soul - Poem by Umasree Raghunath
I am always a social being
With friends hanging around
All ages, all races and all faces
I have lots of them to surround
No differences of class or creed
Unbiased friendships of all need
Fun unlimited that's get shared
Naughtiest things we together dared
Someone who just thinks lives for me
Someone for whom I think I need to be
Few who cling on just for fun?
Few who join me as I take a run?
Someone who just want my company
Someone whose company is an agony
Few who just go about to flirt
Few who always talks about the dirt
Someone who advises the best
Someone who shapes me up with the rest
Few who are afar yet think about me
Few whose life I made a difference to be
Someone who got in life settled
Someone who got in life turned
Few who join me in all my prayers
Few who says together we are go getters
Someone who hates me from the heart
Someone who do not understand me what
With so many people around
Yet I am a lonely Soul to found
For few things no one could help you to
Few decisions you only need to handle true
When you could not change few things
Changing yourself to the truth begins

During the dark days of '70s emissions systems, there were stalwart gearheads. During the disarray of the '80s malaise scene, there were hardcore gearheads. And even now, with increasing cost of ownership becoming the norm, there are still diehard gearheads. No matter where the future leads, there will ALWAYS be lifestyle enthusiasts who build a culture around the rush of turning transportation into art. And, unless you're one of us, it's something you'll probably never understand. So, what happens when a dedicated enthusiast decides to turn a decadent Detroit cruiser into a world-class pro-tourer? You get a razor-sharp head turner like this incredible Chevy Impala! The product of an uncompromising vision and many talented builders, this stunning classic wraps a tuned LS3 and stalwart 6-speed transmission in a tailored Morrison chassis and spotless '50s aesthetics. And, if you're a fellow enthusiast who's looking to satisfy an unrelenting need to headline shows and make a big statement, it's the award-winning drop-top of your dreams!
Designed and built at Tony's Kustoms in Lenoir City, Tennessee, this freshly finished Impala does an excellent job of wrapping vintage style around modern technology. In what amounted to a systematic, no-expense-spared rebuild, the car's solid body was completely stripped, thoroughly massaged and layered in a liquid-smooth coat of bright red 2-stage. With that paint buffed to brilliance, new glass was complemented with new, professionally polished trim and color-keyed quarter banners. With that profile dyed and detailed, Steve Holcomb of Knoxville's Pro Auto Interior custom-stitched a tight cloth top And in late 2015, this triple-red Chevy stormed the street rod scene, immediately earning a Staff Pick at the Goodguys 22nd Southeastern Nationals!
Toss the car's long hood and you'll find a hot LS3 small block that, thanks to Lloyd Sanders of Sanders Performance, looks ALMOST as good as it runs! GM Powertrain invested a great deal of time and research into getting the most out of its Gen IV V8, and it definitely shows. Changes started with a 20% stronger casting, featuring an increased bore of 103.25mm. Focus was then shifted to flow efficiency, resulting in the use of an all-new intake manifold and L92 rectangle-port heads. Factor in a new piston design, and injectors borrowed from the brutal LS7, and you get a very potent track weapon that happily doubles as an everyday commuter. At the top of the block, a conical, chrome-trimmed filter element funnels wind in to a polished air tube, which is hooked to a factory throttle body. At the sides of that throttle body, coated Street & Performance shorties bend under high quality Taylor plug wires. In front of those headers, an aftermarket serpentine drive spins a polished alternator and polished AC compressor behind a plethora of polished pulleys. In front of that drive, a polished PRC radiator swirls coolant around a fabricated expansion tank and big SPAL puller fan thanks to corrugated hoses. A Fastech Motorsports tune combines with Street & Performance wiring and an American Autowire harness to ensure everything communicates well. And details, like braided fluid lines, color-keyed dipsticks, a fully finished engine bay and cool, vintage-look fuel rail covers, ensure the mill maintains first class presentation.
Park this Chevy on a lift and you'll find a super clean undercarriage that's been prepped, primped and polished to match the car's slick powerplant and stunning exterior. The well-mannered motor twists a modern 6L80 6-speed, which is hooked to a tough Strange 9-inch that's fitted with an Eaton Truetrac differential and fun, 3.55 gears. That Strange pumpkin is an integral part of an Art Morrison GT Sport chassis, which features Strange coil-over-shocks at all four corners. Detroit Speed power rack-and-pinion steering provides tracking. Quick stops are a cinch thanks to 4 and 6-piston Wilwood calipers, which utilize a Wilwood master cylinder and Wilwood proportioning valve to squeeze 13-inch slotted rotors. A custom exhaust system routes spent gases through throaty Magnaflow mufflers that pop and crackle just like vintage hardware. Stylish Billet Specialties wheels throw torque through 225/45ZR18 and 275/35ZR20 Continental ExtremeContact DWS. And everything, from the car's body-matched floors to its Rock Valley fuel tank, is well planned, exceptionally executed and ready to reflect!
But the show doesn't stop there. Not by a long shot! When you pop this drop-top's doors, you'll find a custom leather cockpit that, like the car's top, was installed by Steve Holcomb of Knoxville's Pro Auto Interior. Top dead center, a body-matched dash hangs clean Classic Instruments gauges above MP3-compatible Custom Autosound audio. Opposite that dash, four silver-piped seats frame a custom, full-length console that balances a modern shifter between Vintage Air climate control and switches for the aforementioned top and Nu-Relics power windows. Beneath that console, clean California Carpet bleeds in to custom side panels that are detailed with custom brightwork. In front of the driver, a tilting Ididit steering column spins a reduced diameter wheel. And behind the passengers, a leather-lined trunk features ample storage space.

Virtualization: Playing well with others
One thing that we all learn in kindergarten is to play well with others. Unfortunately that is often a lesson that vendors of many manufacturing IT applications failed to learn. Manufacturing applications are usually certified to run only on servers with no other applications. If other applications are running, then the vendor may not provide support.
One thing that we all learn in kindergarten is to play well with others. Unfortunately that is often a lesson that vendors of many manufacturing IT applications failed to learn. Manufacturing applications are usually certified to run only on servers with no other applications. If other applications are running, then the vendor may not provide support.
One large, well-known control system vendor requires five separate servers for its manufacturing application suite—and many of its customers, of course, also use other applications that have their own server needs. The variety of possible applications include HMI servers, manufacturing execution systems, laboratory information management systems, data historians, document management systems, communication concentrators, maintenance management systems, print servers, file servers, PLC source code control systems, and general purpose databases.
The proliferation of dedicated servers is causing a problem in many manufacturing facilities because there is not enough controlled environment space for all the servers. Often, the manufacturing servers have been placed in the few environmentally controlled cabinets somewhere near the production lines. Many times the manufacturing servers have to share space in the cabinets with telecom equipment and general I/O connections. As IT solutions are added to the factory floor, there may not be space for the required servers.
One answer to this problem is through an IT industry solution: virtualization. Virtualization has been around since the early days of computing, but only recently are major operating system vendors supporting it.
Virtualization is a method for running several independent copies of an operating system and application on the same machine at the same time. For example, a single physical server could run Linux and an Oracle database on one virtual server, and still run Microsoft Windows 2000 and an HMI application on a second virtual server, while running Microsoft Windows XP and an MS-SQL database on a third virtual server. This takes minimal overhead, because new virtualization solutions take advantage of virtualization hooks in the latest Intel and AMD chips. Most virtualization systems provide near-native performance.
Fortunately, many manufacturing applications were designed for slower servers with less memory and smaller disks than are available today. If fact, the recommended resources for most applications mean that servers often run at 20% or less utilization. Virtualization allows you to tap into the unused CPU cycles and memory, allowing more applications per server, each in its own environment. When a single large server takes the place of multiple smaller servers, you can simplify server management, improve disaster recovery, and lower administrative and hardware costs.
Virtualization is available from multiple vendors. The open source option includes XEN ( www.xensource.com ); Microsoft has Virtual Server 2005; Sun has VMWare ( www.vmware.com ) from EMC. Red Hat and Novell also provide options.
Know your boundaries
When virtualizing manufacturing systems, it is important to remember the network boundaries and collect applications at similar levels. For example, database servers, print servers, file servers, and some application servers would run in the network DMZ—the space between a firewall to the corporate network and a firewall to the control network. These applications could be virtualized to a one machine. Likewise, servers at the control network level could be virtualized without compromising the security or integrity of the network segmentation. Virtualization works best on manufacturing applications that use standard device drivers.
Virtualization, scaleable as needed, is becoming a valuable tool to allow manufacturing systems to play well with others, and simultaneously reduce server space problems.
