1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a communication system for connecting at least one telecommunication terminal apparatus and at least one computer device to a switching device.
2. Description of the Related Art
Analog telephone equipment is increasingly being replaced by digital equipment, based predominantly on the ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) standard. ISDN is defined by several international digital communication standards that are recognized worldwide by telephone companies. ISDN technology is used to send both speech and data that can include graphics, sound, films and digital signals via public telephone networks. The ISDN standard comprises digital standard transmission protocols, terminals and connection cables. The user is provided with two types of ISDN terminals. The international base terminal (S0) comprises two B channels, each having 64 Kbit/s, and a D channel having 16 Kbit/s. The B channels transmit the useful information. The D channel is used for the signaling. Up to eight telephones or other terminal apparatuses can then be operated at an S0 interface.
Besides the base terminal (S0), the primary multiplex terminal (SZM), which is likewise internationally standardized, is also provided; it comprises 30 B channels and 1 D channel having 64 Kbit/s.
ISDN telephones can be operated directly at public networks or at private branch exchanges (PABX, Private Automatic Branch Exchange). In Germany, public communication networks standardly provide two-lead Uk0 interfaces. In what is known as a network termination (NT), these Uk0 interfaces are converted into a four-lead S0 interface. For normal operation, the network termination requires energy from the public power network. In case of a power failure, the network termination (NT) supplies an emergency-supply-authorized terminal apparatus with energy from the public telephone network. Emergency operation is indicated by a reversal of the supply voltage at the S0 interface.
Terminal apparatuses are preferably connected to private branch exchanges via the Up0 interface. The Up0 interface likewise transmits two B channels and one D channel. The Up0 interface, however, is not internationally standardized. For this reason, in addition to the Up0 interface, there also exist many other manufacturer-specific U interfaces.
Since the ISDN standard is a digital standard, it is particularly easy for computers to be connected to ISDN interfaces via plug-in cards. In contrast to speech transmission via telephone or image transmission using fax machines, computers offer the possibility of transmission of very different data formats. Thus, in the domain of the Internet, a multiplicity of image formats, speech compression methods, and formats for transmitting moving images, are used. The use of computers to send and receive faxes as well known as the prior art. With the corresponding software, a computer connected to a printer and to a scanner replaces a fax machine.
One problem in the contemporary PC world is the lack of flexibility of the interfaces used. A PC is standardly equipped with a keyboard interface, one parallel interface and two serial interfaces (RS-232). The keyboard interface is occupied by the keyboard. One serial interface is allocated to the mouse, and the parallel interface is reserved for the printer. Only the second serial interface is available for additional peripheral devices. In the PC domain, data transmission via a serial interface is limited to a maximum of 115.2 Kbit/s. For this reason, peripheral devices that produce large quantities of data, such as scanners, are connected directly to computer-internal busses, PCI bus or the ISA bus, via additional plug-in cards. However, to use such peripheral devices it is necessary to open the computer and install additional plug-in cards. Another disadvantage of the many different interfaces in the PC domain is the use of many different plug connections. In order to solve this problem, various bus systems are known in the prior art. In contrast to the PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) and ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) busses, an SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) interface can also be led out from the computer housing, and can in this way be used for the connection of up to seven peripheral devices having high data transmission rates, such as hard disks or scanners. A large number of low-price busses are available, such as the Apple Desktop Bus (ADB), the RS-485 interface, which represents an extension of the RS-232 interface, the Access.bus (A.b), the Connection Highway Interface (CHI), the GeoPort, and, recently, the Universal Serial Bus (USB).
An essential goal in the definition of the USB standard was to provide a low-cost bus system for the connection of external peripheral devices to PCs. The USB bus offers low to medium data transmission rates (up to 12 MBit/s). It is thus very well suited for the connection of a large number of peripheral devices, such as scanners, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), keyboards and mice. Up to 127 devices can be connected to the USB bus. In addition, the PCI bus supports plug-and-play functionality. The connecting cables are shielded four-lead lines. Two leads are used for the transmission of a supply voltage of 5 volts. The two other leads are twisted, and are used for signal transmission. For data transmission rates of 1.5 MBit/s, unshielded untwisted cables are sufficient. The plugs are designed in such a way that one terminal apparatus can feed a maximum of 5 amperes into the supply line of the USB bus. The energy supply via the USB bus offers the possibility of producing peripheral devices without power supply units, thus saving costs.
PCs and other terminal apparatuses, such as telephones, can be connected jointly to public telephone networks or also to private branch exchanges. As long as the public telephone network or the private branch exchange provides an interface—such as the S0 interface or the Up0 interface—that permits the connection of several terminal apparatuses, the PC and the terminal apparatus can be operated at the same interface, as indicated in
U.S. Pat. No. 4,748,656 discloses an interface arrangement that connects a communication system to a telecommunications terminal device. This interface is implemented by a plugin card in a personal computer that, on the one hand, controls the operation of the connected telecommunications terminal device and, on the other hand, offers services of the communication system. The complete signalling from the communication system is interpreted by the personal computer, converted into suitable control signals and forwarded to the telecommunications terminal device. The data received from the telecommunications terminal device are interpreted and modified in the personal computer. Suitable control and signalling messages are derived therefrom from this data that are then forwarded from the personal computer to the communication system. The connection of further peripheral devices to the interface between the personal computer and the telecommunications terminal device, however, is no more possible than is stand-alone operation of the telecommunications terminal device when the personal computer is turned off.
"Isar—1äβt Daten statt Wasser flieβen", ELEKTRONIK, Vol. 45, No. 20, 1 Oct. 1996, pages 56–60 describes a semiconductor module both for digital as well as for analog data transmission. This module serves the purpose producing cost-beneficial, passive ISDN PC cards that, parallel to the data transfer with ISDN subscribers, can also communicate with subscribers in the analog network and transmit data. The functions of passive ISDN PC cards that are based on the semiconductor module described in this reference are comparable to those of active cards. In one applied example, the semiconductor module is connected to an ISDN transceiver via an IOM-2 bus and is connected to a PC bus interface via a local bus.
It is the object of the present invention to indicate a solution by way of a PC and a telephone can be connected with a low hardware and software expense, and in which additional peripheral devices can be connected via the interface between the PC and the telephone.
This aim is achieved by way of a communication system having at least one computer device, at least one telecommunication terminal apparatus, and a switch that can be connected to a public telephone network. In this system computer device and the telecommunication terminal apparatus are connected via a first bus system, the telecommunication terminal apparatus is connected to the switch via an interface, the telecommunication terminal apparatus is provided with a first operating mode in which the reception data received from the switch are rerouted by the telecommunication terminal apparatus to the first bus system, and are forwarded via the first bus system to the computer device.
In this system the computer device is provided with a processor for processing the data received from the telecommunication terminal apparatus, and for the forwarding this data to the telecommunication terminal apparatus via the first bus system, whereby the data are emitted by the telecommunication terminal apparatus.
The communication system is characterized in that the first bus system exhibits a greater bandwidth than a second bus system that is employed for the connection of individual, internal assemblies of the telecommunication terminal apparatus, and furthermore that in the first operating mode, the transmission data produced by the telecommunication terminal apparatus are forwarded via the first bus system to the computer device, the computer device processes the received data using the processor, and the processed transmission data are sent back via the first bus system to the telecommunication terminal apparatus, and the telecommunication terminal apparatus reroutes this data to the corresponding interface for forwarding to the switch.
Preferred constructions of the present invention are discussed below.
In the following, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, shown in
In principle, all known busses that can transmit a bandwidth of (4×64 Kbit/s+16 Kbit/s) (4 B channels and 1 D channel) are possibilities for the physical connection between PC and terminal apparatus. However, the hardware expense in the terminal apparatus is particularly low if the physical interface between PC and terminal apparatus can accept the entire bandwidth of the IOM-2 bus, i.e., the entire IOM-2 frame structure (
Since the USB bus is able to transmit the entire IOM-2 frame structure, the two IC channels, the two B channels to the private branch exchange and the D channel need not first be expensively filtered out from the IOM-2 frame structure. Due to the fact that the entire IOM-2 frame structure is transmitted to the PC, the PC can control the terminal apparatus completely. This mechanism additionally allows the data that the private branch exchange sends to the terminal apparatus (downlink) to the easily forwarded to the PC. In addition, by inserting data into the IOM-2 frame structure, the PC can easily send data indirectly to the private branch exchange. For direct communication between the PC and the terminal apparatus, two IC channels are supplied in each direction (uplink and downlink).
The IOM-2 frame structure does not occupy the complete bandwidth of the USB bus. For this reason, as shown in
The butterfly architecture enables the pre-processing of data from the private branch exchange in the PC, and subsequent output on the telephone. Conversely, for example, speech inputs via the telephone can be pre-processed in the PC before forwarding to the private branch exchange. For example, the PC can carry out speech encryption. Here the PC would forward the speech data coming from the telephone to the private branch exchange in encrypted form. Encrypted speech signals from the private branch exchange are forwarded to the terminal apparatus in plain text. Since only one B channel to the private branch exchange and one IC channel to the terminal apparatus are respectively occupied, parallel operation of an additional B channel application in the PC is possible.
In addition, the butterfly architecture is suitable for the implementation of a telephone answering device on the PC. The PC is characterized by high computing power and large memory capacity on the hard drive. For the implementation of a call answering device function in the butterfly architecture, it is thus sufficient to expand the software on the PC. The speech input and output preferably takes place again via the telephone. Alternatively, additional peripheral devices can, for example, be connected to the PC.
Another preferred field of application of computer-telephone integration using the butterfly architecture is videotelephony. The standard H.320 provides a standard for narrow-band image transmission. Since a display screen is already available in the PC, only a camera for recording the image is required. This camera can, for example, be connected to the USB bus. According to the H.320 standard, one B channel of the Up0/E interface is used for the video transmission. The second B channel is available for speech transmission (multiplexed with image data). Speech data are inputted and outputted via the telephone. According to the butterfly architecture, speech data are first exchanged between PC and telephone via an IC channel. The PC sends the speech data to the private branch exchange via a B channel. The speech data are thereby conducted through the telephone. This method makes it possible to keep the hardware expenditures as low as possible, particularly in the telephone, and to standardize the telephone software to the greatest possible extent.

25. Matt Esparza - Right-handed Pitcher
Born: 08/22/1994 - Height: 6'2" - Weight: 195 - Bats: Right - Throws: Right
Facts & Info: Esparza was selected by the Indians in the 14th round of the 2015 Draft out of the University of California-Irvine. He started his college career at the University of Tennessee before transferring to a junior college at Cypress College for his sophomore season and then transferred to UC-Irvine for his junior season. In 2014 he was a first team All-Orange Empire Conference selection while with Cypress College. Last season, he tied for 10th in the Midwest League in wins (8) and was 12th in strikeouts (109), and would have been in the top 10 in ERA (3.14) had he stayed all year to qualify. He also finished 8th in the Indians organization in ERA (3.36) and 1st in strikeouts (141).
Stuff: Esparza is not a pure stuff guy, but he has an interesting mix of pitches with some upside to them and shows the ability to command them and locate to both sides of the plate. He features a solid average fastball that sits at 89-92 MPH and gets up to 93 MPH, and does a nice job of moving and locating it to all four quadrants. His fastball velocity and command both showed some improvement last season as he was more regularly in the low 90s and touching 93 MPH and was better at attacking the zone with it and showing no fear to pitch inside with it. The best pitch in his arsenal is an above average curveball that he shows an advanced feel for spin and really commands well. It has some excellent bite and good shape and is a legit Major League offering that he can get some swing and miss with. His developing changeup is a work in progress and has some potential to be an average offering for him, but it lacks consistency because his feel comes and goes with it. He also mixes in a fringy slider to give hitters a different look to his breaking ball and is a pitch that may eventually be shelved in order to concentrate on just developing the changeup and using a three pitch mix.
Delivery & Intangibles: Esparza has a nice, strong frame that provides the strength and durability needed to haul innings, and he has the athleticism and delivery which allow for him to repeat his delivery, display some clean arm action and be sound mechanically. As a former college shortstop, he brings that athleticism he had as a shortstop to the mound as he fields his position very well. He has tremendous mound presence with a lot of pitchability, strong mental toughness and maintains a good demeanor which makes him a bulldog when he pitches. He's thoughtful and deliberate in what he does, the game doesn't speed up on him and he shows the aptitude to make quick adjustments. He mixes his pitches well and is not afraid to pitch inside and is able to expand the zone, and is a great competitor who has a strong desire to win.
Focus: Esparza came into the organization as a fresh arm with limited mound experience, so the Indians have been working to build him up from the ground up and have seen some great results to date. They have worked with him to establish his routines and add some strength and bulk to his frame through a regimented strength and conditioning program. He had a tendency to collapse his back leg and work uphill, so the Indians worked on some mechanical adjustments to his delivery last season and used the additional strength incorporated into his frame to make a correction and really settle into a delivery that works well for him where he is more powerful and he can repeat it well. The hope is that as he repeats his delivery better and he is able to get more power out of it that down the road it will help him improve the command of all of his pitches and also add a tick or two of velocity to his fastball. As he continues to refine his delivery and gains more mound experience the hope is that he will also get better with locating to both sides of the plate and more consistently down in the zone. His changeup is a key pitch for him and the third pitch he needs as a starter, so he is working to get more consistent with the feel of it, locating it to the bottom of the zone and gaining more confidence in it.
Future: From the his senior year of high school until his last year of college, Esparza went through four different schools and coaches, so he never had that stability that allowed for growth and to tap into his natural talents. The Indians believed that once he entered into a stable environment that it would foster his growth and his true talent would show, and so far that has been the case. He has really settled into the organization well and was a hidden gem out of the 2015 Draft that they were excited to see what would transpire with him once he hit the pro circuit, and he's done a great job with a career 3.11 ERA, 2.4 BB/9, 9.6 K/9, 4.00 K/BB and 1.27 GO/AO (groundball rate). What makes those numbers impressive is that he still has not come close to peaking as a prospect. He came into the organization with minimal pitching experience because he didn't start pitching until his senior year in high school and is an arm the Indians are sort of developing on the fly, but because he already is so advanced with his strike throwing and is so athletic and can make adjustments easily he is getting an opportunity to develop as a starting pitcher and see where it takes him. He should continue on a starting pitching development path and should return to High-A Lynchburg to start the year in what could be a big anchor year for him as a starting pitching prospect and quiet some doubters at the same time, all of which could propel him higher up the prospect totem pole in the organization.

To be honest, Patong Beach was my least favorite place in all of Thailand but the one saving grace of the trip was this hotel. Excellent service, great, convenient location (pretty much attached to a mall so you can get anything you may have forgotten to pack), and most important for me - modern, clean rooms. Considering I didn't care for Patong Beach staying here was an oasis in comparison to being on the gritty streets filled with sex tourism that made me sick to see.

I want to know why Spiceworks is slow on our system? We just started testing Spiceworks, but its too slow. How can we optimize it? Please help us.
This topic was created during version 2.0.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

Simple questions,
What are the specs of the server its running on?
What speed is your network?
How many devices are on that network?
How many admins are using spiceworks for support?
This will help to give the answer you are looking for.
Jun 17, 2008 at 10:21 UTC
My experience with SW is that it's slow now and my network will only grow. My config is:
100 Workstations, 8 Servers, 19 Printers
I am running SW as a service. Our network is 100Mbps. Two admins access. SW is running on a Dell Poweredge 2650. 3gb RAM. Win2003.
Every click in SW will take a minimum of 15 seconds.
Jun 24, 2008 at 8:43 UTC
I hope someone can answer this, love the product but the speed of the web pages makes it practically unusable.
Jun 25, 2008 at 4:56 UTC
same here - particularly when scans are running.
Has anyone there done some performance optimisation on the DB?
Jul 16, 2008 at 3:38 UTC
I also have speed issues. Helpdesk speed isn't too bad but the inventory section is really slowwwwwwwww.
Dual Xeon 2Ghz
350 devices, 2 admins
CPU never goes above 25% (because of hyperthreading?)
Could it be because my database has grown in v3 because of all the duplicates it keeps creating when it scans(more than doubled)? I delete the duplicate (not the original with all my custom data) but they keep coming back, I've now given up and am waiting for the patch mentioned here: http://blog.spiceworks.com/2008/07/01/the-buzz-on-release-30/
Any news on the patches expected release date??
Please, please work on the speed - this is more important than adding features which slow it further.

As for me I get a lot of slowdowns when I'm creating new tickets in the Helpdesk as well as in the Admin interface. Saving them gets stuck on 'Saving..' for a while.
Right now I'm running on a Win XP Sp2 on a Quad core Xeon with 4GB RAM - Gigabit network - HP Switches and Cisco Router. About 60 devices + 8ish printers

Just a quick note to say that we installed Spiceworks today for the helpdesk functions and also found it very slow. I didn't see any obvious solutions here in the groups so tried a couple of things ourselves. Going from IE6 to either IE7 or Firefox made a H-U-G-E difference, it's now just as responsive as any webpage with active content.
Jan 14, 2009 at 9:55 UTC
I get the same type of response from IE6/7 and firefox. I'll try chrome and let you know.
btw I am also testing the response on the machine where it is installed as well. So locally using the localhost ip is the same thing
Jan 20, 2009 at 4:19 UTC
We just installed the latest update and even deleted all of our devices to let it rescan and remove duplicates and the scanning went very well but the helpdesk and inventory interfaces are still painfully slow. Granted, we have a significantly larger number of devices than most (~900). I will keep trying when new updates arrive but for now this is not usable.
Jan 20, 2009 at 4:49 UTC
We are experiencing the same kind of performance issues since the upgrade to 3.5, it seems to be a browser script as IE CPU usage remains high while the spiceworks browser window is active, while the machine with the spiceworks service never seems to experience a jump in utilization. We do have over 1000 devices in the inventory, but I have disabled network scans at the moment trying to get the helpdesk functionality to perform acceptably.
Jan 22, 2009 at 3:00 UTC
We are running SW on a Windows 2K3 server and also see terrible performance. The system is Xeon 1.6 w/ 1GB of RAM running W2k3SP2 Enterprise Ed. We are monitoring roughly 300 nodes. Our primary use of the app is helpdesk.
The response was a bit slow prior to an upgrade to 3.5 but now it is just unbearable.
Kudos to the SW team. Nice application. However due to the speed issues we will have to look elsewhere.
Jan 22, 2009 at 8:04 UTC
Well, I'll say this much...
I've had extreme speed/loading issues with Spiceworks for weeks now, so for the last few days I've been testing it with both Firefox and Google Chrome - primarily because of what I've seen other users say.
With that said, Firefox and Chrome seem light years faster with Spiceworks since I've made the switch - it's a toss up, really; both seem to be just as fast in regards to load times (imo). I also notice that it doesn't just relate to Spiceworks, either...I'm seeing this globally with external website loading/response times as well.
Just my two cents...
Jan 27, 2009 at 1:23 UTC
I must agree... I just tried Spiceworks in Chrome for the first time. The speed of the application now rocks. I might have just been converted to Chrome as my Spiceworks interface. That being said, don't you dare try to take my Maxthon brownser away from me for all my other internet surfing :)
Jan 30, 2009 at 4:15 UTC
I've noticed the same performance decrease since upgrading from 3.2 to 3.5 and Spiceworks runs on a high-end server with plenty of memory. After troubleshooting I also found that the response times improved dramatically when using Firefox as compared to IE7. So maybe the SW developers can focus in on IE issues? Regardless, kudos to the SW team this is a wonderful tool!
Thanks Again SW
Feb 2, 2009 at 12:18 UTC
I guess it would help to quantify those delays we observe.
As for me, when creating a HelpDesk Ticket or editing an item in the inventory, clicking send or save will sometimes work right away or take about 20-25secs or just not react. However the item's edition will be complete anyway, same for the HelpDesk ticket.
My concern is with the tickets as the users don't really know what to do and sometimes end up submitting 2 or more tickets.
That said I don't get that many per day (max 5-7) and as such I don't expect it to be the server that is being queried too often.
This occurs on IE/FF/CH in the same manner.
Feb 2, 2009 at 1:32 UTC
akp982 is an IT service provider.
Try closing spiceworks and fully stopping
Going to c:\program files\spiceworks\log\
Delete all the files
start spiceworks
Feb 5, 2009 at 9:21 UTC
Any work on this? I deleted all the spiceworks logs, running newest version of 3.5. My inventory is painfully slow. Running on a XP pro session on a virtual server with 4 x 2.8 cores and 512 memory allocated to it. It does seem a bit faster in Firefox, but still seems slugish. Also seeing dupicates in my inventory as well. Any solutions yet?
Feb 9, 2009 at 6:53 UTC
I'm finding 3.5 (Upgrade from 3.2 using it for about 2 months) slow too. Dell Optiplex 330, 1Gb Ram Windows XP Pro. Nothing else installed. 90 devices and 3 admins using IE7. Defrag, delete logs. Firefox is faster but Chrome seems to be better than Firefox, although it still lags somewhat. Any ideas?
Best Regards
Feb 9, 2009 at 1:24 UTC

Newbie from texas - "flowmaster vs. Magnaflow" question????
This weekend I'm going to have a muffler put on but I'm still not sure which one would be a better choice??? I love the sound of Flowmaster 40 Series but have heard that the 14" Magnaflow is better performance wise. Any input would help. Thanks!
Magnaflows are straight through, meaning no restriction to exhaust flow. Flowmasters are chambered so have some restriction to the exhaust flow. This is why magnaflows perform better. Also, I think all magnaflows are stainless steel and have a lifetime warranty, so they will last, whereas flowmasters are not (they may offer stainless but their regular mufflers are mild steel). Sound is up to you, it's an opinion, I personally like the maganflow sound better.
Welcome to Forum Z
Great to have you with us!!!
Magnaflow sounds great and if you decide to go with Magnaflow you should check out
Mufflex they take Magnaflow and weld on extensions to make it a one piece direct bolt-on
verry nice piece you can bolt it on with a lil help from a friend in about 45min.
And I payed about 230 bucks. I figure a muffler shop would charge at least that.
Hope this helps!!!
Dont forget to post pics of your ride.
I've had magnaflows and flowmasters on my trucks over the years. The magnaflow will give you better performance since it is a flow through design while the flowmaster is chambered and is somewhat restrictive to your flow.
You also need to consider construction materials. I believe flowmaster makes stainless models now which is probably what you want if you go with flowmaster. I have had a few of their regular aluminized flowmasters and they all rusted pretty fast. My current magnaflow is stainless and looks as good as new under my truck.
Hello and welcome! :wavey:
Good to have you with us, I hope you enjoy the board!
Great info above ^^^^^^
I am also a Magnaflow guy!
Welcome to the forum!
Hi and a warm Carolina welcome to the best RAM ForumZ on the web. I'm not the first and won't be the last to ask ~ How about posting a few photos of your truck?:Hey:
I vote spintech. its not as restrictive as flowmasters and sound great!
Welcome to the forum, :Hey:
This forum is full of great looking trucks; packed with great mod ideas and there are loads of knowledgeable and experienced people here.
AND - We all like pix! Got any to share?
Enjoy the Z!
welcome to the forum...glad to have ya aboard!!!

The asylum opened in 1851, and was the largest asylum in Europe at the time.
By the 1880s, public perception of Colney Hatch and its patients caused the words "Colney Hatch" to be used to refer to anything unusual or irrational. This is similar of how the Tanjung Rambutan in Malaysia, in which it's insane asylum, the Ulu Kinta Mental Hospital or Hospital Bahagia is situated.
One such example was the scene involving Jadis, the former Empress of Charn, when she declared herself Empress, in The Magician's Nephew.
The Fight at the Lamp-post
Shortly after Jadis arrived on Earth, she caused a scene by stealing some jewelry and a horse. When she was stopped in the street, she loudly declared who she was, only to be ridiculed by the crowd: -
At first, Jadis was pleased and gave the crowd a bow. However, she soon realised that they were making fun of her. In response, she hit the chief policeman on the head with a bar that she had broken off from a lamp-post, and threatened to destroy the whole city. Digory and Polly, however, used their magic rings to take the witch back to the Wood Between the Worlds before any real damage was done.

Water from the east coast of Greenland contains traces of soil from Russia, say scientists from the Technical University of Denmark, DTU. Danish experts took a sample of ocean water and concluded that Greenlandic fjords get their organic matter from Russia. An article with the details published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans.
The author of research Colin Stedmon and his group from the Norwegian Polar Institute discovered a presence of soils from Russia in the waters of fjords in Greenland. This chemical 'signature' proves the theory of glacial movements. Of course, Artic ocean got a lot of water from Russia through the massive rivers along the Siberian coast — that is another resource of as dissolved in the water organic matter.
Danish scientists were interesting in the research of vital ocean circulation that drives weather systems throughout Europe and North America. Such a circulation has a strong influence on the climate and weather. It's possible to get a computer modeling of a certain situation, but the science needs real observations to validate their results and to identify where the fresh water has come from–glaciers, sea ice, or rivers.
According to Colin Stedmon, the lead author of Greenland water research at DTU:
"This is important if you want to understand how these various contributions of fresh water into the north Atlantic might change in the future."

HTC is working on a next generation user interface which it is describing as Virtual Book.
The fashion for creating targeted unique interfaces is becoming more prevalent. We've had the TouchWiz from Samsung, Maemo from Nokia and the panels from Sony Ericsson, as well as HTC's own TouchFlo 3D, according to the Unwired website.
According to HTC, the new Virtual Book development, "...organizes applications, widgets, and web pages into pages of a virtual book. Each page of the virtual book is the UI of a service or function of the handheld electronic device. Flipping the pages of the virtual book means browsing and selecting the services and functions provided by the handheld electronic device. This book-like UI enables the user to use and manage these applications, widgets and web pages in an easy and intuitive way like browsing a conventional printed book. The book-like UI hides the differences among applications, widgets, and web pages so that the handheld electronic device can be accessed through a uniform and convenient UI."
There is no word on any release date yet, however.

Recipe by The BLESSED Chef
On a cold day a pot of Pintos will hit the spot. Add a cake of Grandpas Cornbread and some chopped onions and you have a meal! The prep and cooking times will vary depending on which methods you use.
Top Review by Robin M.
Anxious to try this recipe. I've never thought of using chicken broth. sounds great. little trick I learned: when you soak your beans overnight in cold water, add a heaping tablespoon of baking soda and stir. the soda will take all the gas out of the beans. rinse well in a colendar prior to putting them in the crockpot. It works!
See Discussion:4 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (16 ounce) bag dried pinto beans (or mixed beans)
- 2 teaspoons salt (to taste)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
- 4 ounces pork (cured side meat)
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
Directions See How It's Made
- First look through beans and remove any debris sometimes found in them. Then rinse well. Put in a pot and cover with water and soak overnight-Or you can do a quick soak by bringing them to a boil and immediately turning off and let sit for 2 hours.
- Rinse side meat and slice into chunks.
- Now there are two ways to go from here- You can cook them on stove top or in a crock pot- I prefer the crock pot because they have a better flavor.
- Stove Top Method - Pour water off beans after soaking and add fresh water - enough to cover them completely. Add side meat, salt, and pepper.
- Bring to boil and then lower heat to simmer for app 2-3 hours stirring occasionally -Until the beans are as soft as you want them.
- Crock Pot Method- Pour water off beans after soaking and add beans to crock pot. Cover with fresh water and add salt, pepper and side meat. Cook on high about 1 hour then lower to low and cook about 6 hours - until beans are as soft as you want them.
- Serve with cornbread and chopped onions-MMMM MMMM Good!

Look and feel
Unmistakeably an HTC phone, the One SV might not stand out but it feels solid and doesn't scuff easily. Comfortable to hold and operate.
Ease of Use
The older Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android has been bolstered by a (slightly old) version of HTC Sense, which runs smoothly and is both feature-packed and intuitive (apart from adding desktops)
The HTC One SV's 5MP camera might not be anything special on its own, but the excellent photo, video and editing features elevate it above the norm. 4G compatibility is a big plus for fanatical media streamers.
The dual-core processor is nothing special considering the price, and while the One SV can comfortably run apps and games, it will be outdated rather quickly compared to quad-core devices.
Battery life
With five and a half hours of media streaming on a single charge, and days of stand-by, the HTC One SV has fantastic battery life.
Review by Sunetra Chakravati,12/11/2012 11:31:55 AM
Ease of use
Great battery life;
4G ready;
Feature-packed camera;
HTC Sense
Old Android (4.0);
Specs underwhelming for the price
Last year we were massively impressed by HTC's One series of phones, including the solid and attractive mid-range HTC One S and the HTC One V, which offers the full portable media experience at a value price. To kick off 2013, HTC has released the 4G-compatible One SV, which falls between the One S and One V in terms of specs. What you get is a capable mid-range 4G mobile, one of the cheapest you can nab right now.
The HTC One SV is unmistakeably an HTC phone from even a mega-quick glance. It features the trademark rounded corners as well as the same glossy black front with touch-sensitive home, back and recent apps buttons housed beneath the screen. That glossy surface cuts off at the edges, where a thin silver plastic band wraps around the rim of the phone. The edges are tidy and clutter-free, with the power button housed on top and volume rockers down the right side.
Flip the smartphone over and you'll find a matt white rear. Some plain white backs scuff all too easily, but the One SV stayed in good shape even after regular trips in our pockets and bags. The whole back plate can be prised off to reveal the removable battery, plus Micro SD and SIM card slots. It snaps back in place easily enough and holds firm.
Old Ice Cream
The HTC One SV runs Android Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.4) with HTC's Sense 4.1 interface plastered over the top. Sense is one of our favourite tweaks of Android, adding lots of great widgets, features and personalisation to an already excellent OS. The only confusing aspect for us was adding desktops: you get a mere two to start with, and there's no way to stick in extra desktops in the settings menus. You actually have to long-press the home button to bring up the desktops menu, where you can add and delete them as merrily as you like.
It's a shame that you only get Ice Cream Sandwich rather than Jelly Bean (the latest version of Android), but to HTC's credit the interface is silky smooth when flicking between desktops and through menus, and the great range of widgets is commendable. We'd expect to see a Jelly Bean upgrade rolling out soon all the same.
As with our previous 4G tests, we found we could happily stream HD video from anywhere in Central London that wasn't about ten feet underground. The sphere of influence of 4G appears to be spreading too, as we saw download/upload speeds of almost 20MB per second out in zones four and five. If you're regularly uploading videos and photo albums or streaming music/video, and can stomach the pricey 4G contract costs, you'll love the buffer-free world of speedy mobile networking.
If you're streaming video non-stop you can expect around five and a half hours of battery life from each charge, an impressive result considering we pump the screen brightness up to maximum. The battery holds up well with normal use too: leave the One SV on standby and you'll get days of use, or a solid weekend if you're occasionally texting, emailing and browsing the web.
Media Mogul
The HTC One SV's real strengths become obvious when you play or stream media. Although it doesn't pack a mighty quad-core processor or mega-HD screen like top-end 4G smartphones (such as the Samsung Galaxy S III LTE), we found our high-res movies played smoothly and looked good on the vibrant 4.3-inch display. Viewing angles are great and on maximum brightness it easily cancels out solar glare.
As always with HTC phones, you get the nifty Beats Audio software built-in, to tweak your tunes before they hit your ears. We reckon you can keep it turned off if your music is already top quality (as it should be if downloaded from a reputable music vendor). However, if you've got low-quality music files then Beats Audio does a surprisingly good job of massaging them back to life, removing any graininess and adding bass and clarity.
Underwhelming specs
A dual-core Qualcomm processor does a decent job of running apps and games, but the One SV will probably show its age rather soon compared to the slew of quad-core devices hitting stores. Considering you can get similar dual-core devices from last year (such as the Sony Xperia P) for over a hundred pounds less, it feels a little stingy.
You also get a mediocre 8GB of built-in storage, although just over 4GB was usable on our review sample and this fills up fast if you stick on songs, apps and movies or take lots of photos. Thankfully there's a memory card slot for expanding by a further 32GB. You also get 25GB of free DropBox online storage for backing up important files, including any shots you take with the built-in camera.
Swift shooter
The One SV's 5MP camera lacks the full-screen sharpness of some rivals, but the auto-focus does a great job of locking onto subjects quickly and photos take almost as soon as you tap the on-screen shutter button. Hold down the shutter button and the One SV takes a series of shots in quick succession, a great way of catching action shots. There are tons of settings to tweak, including face and smile detection, filters, geo-tagging, ISO and white balance and countdown timers, so you can set up your snapper however you like.
A front-facing 1.6MP camera takes sharp portrait shots and is great for Skype chats. You can also shoot 1080p HD video, which looks great when viewed back on a TV (although the regular focus adjustments can be a little distracting). We particularly liked the funky slow motion mode, which produces some fun action videos, and the ability to take photos while shooting video (something we first saw in the HTC One X last year). You also get a strong range of editing and sharing options, including the ability to trim videos before you post them to YouTube.
HTC's One SV packs a decent feature-laden camera and will please media fans with its colourful screen and fast 4G connectivity. The HTC Sense interface helps to soften the disappointment of the old version of Android, but the One SV is still a little expensive considering the specs. For instance, HTC's Desire X is £100 less, and packs almost the same innards – aside from the addition of a front-facing camera, the only other benefit of the One SV is its 4G compatibility. If you're seriously considering a 4G upgrade in the coming year, the One SV is a dependable option for ensuring you're ready. Otherwise, we'd stick with a standard 3G mid-ranger to save some cash.

The Angels say they are interested if Barry Bonds
asks the Giants to trade him to an AL team, where he can end
his career as a designated hitter. ... The Dodgers, upset
with starter Derek Lowe's off-field behavior, hope
to trade him this winter. ... The Diamondbacks' negotiations
with No. 1 pick Justin Upton have turned nasty, which
could cause them to become the first team in 22 years to lose
the top pick in the draft. ... The Pirates will turn to either
former Pirates manager Jim Leyland or A's manager Ken
Macha if they decide not to renew manager Lloyd McClendon's
contract this winter. ... Reds interim manager Jerry
Narron is expected to become permanent now that the Reds
are playing their best baseball of the season. ... The Cubs
are targeting Braves shortstop Rafael Furcal as one
of their top free-agent priorities. ... The Phillies want
to re-sign closer Billy Wagner before he hits the free-agent
market this winter. He is seeking at least a three-year, $24
million deal. ... The Marlins, deciding they can't afford
to be patient any longer, have benched third baseman Mike
Lowell and shifted Miguel Cabrera to third base.
... The Mariners have absorbed $13.5 million in salary in
dumping all four of their starting infielders from the 2004
team, the latest being third baseman Scott Spiezio.
He is owed $3.35 million next season. ... The 6.24 ERA by
the Diamondbacks' bullpen is on pace to rank as the worst
since the 1950 St. Louis Browns (6.62). ... The Orioles' lawyers
are determining whether they can void the final year in Sidney
Ponson's contract after his latest arrest.
By Bob Nightengale
He questions whether man ever walked on the moon, speculating whether it was done on a movie set.
And, yes, he has his own ideas about whether it's a sin to be gay, although he has no problems playing with any teammates with a different sexual orientation.
Carl "The Truth" Everett has an opinion on everything from George Bush's Middle East politics to Martha Stewart's prison sentence to believing that comedian Chris Rock should replace Commissioner Bud Selig.
Hey, if you don't want to know what he's thinking, then don't ask.
"I'm not here trying to be politically correct," says Everett, the Chicago White Sox's DH/outfielder, "I just want to win. I say what's on my mind.
"Nobody has to worry about me saying something behind their back, 'cause I'll say it right to your face. That's why I don't like those guys always trying to be politically correct. They don't say what they want because they're trying to keep their image. Those are the guys I don't respect.
"Why is everyone so afraid to tell the truth these days?"
And the cold-hearted, uh, truth is that the White Sox will not only win the American League Central, but they also could become the most dangerous team in the AL playoffs.
Do you want to face a rotation of Mark Buehrle, Freddy Garcia, Jon Garland and Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez? While the pitching has had some recent lapses, many of those losses have been the "hard-luck" type, and Buehrle and Garcia are still among the AL leaders in innings pitched.
Sure, the lineup has its weaknesses. They don't have a single .300 hitter. Only Paul Konerko has a chance to hit 40 homers, and just four teams have scored fewer runs, with only the Mariners and Royals having a lower on-base percentage.
But despite their recent struggles, look who has the best record in the AL, entering Monday's games with a 79-48 record, eight games ahead of the Cleveland Indians.
"I don't know why everyone was stressin' because we weren't losing those games," Everett says. "We were giving those games away. Nobody was beating us. We were beating ourselves.
"That's why if it was up to me, I'd turn off all of the TVs in the clubhouse. And I'd turn the (out-of-town) scoreboard off at home, too. What good does it do? When you're in a pennant race, you shouldn't worry about the teams chasing you, so why watch the games?"
Don't look for Everett to become a TV programming director, but he's as responsible as anyone for the White Sox's glorious season.
"I don't know where we'd be without him," manager Ozzie Guillen says. "He's stepped up big-time for us, especially with Frank (Thomas) out. Really, he's been consistent since Day One."
He also brought an attitude that has permeated the White Sox's clubhouse. They are resilient. They are tenacious. And yes, when needed, they can be just plain tough.
"He's a fiery, mean type of guy," Konerko says, "but in a good way. He's an in-your-face type of guy that keeps you on your toes. He's so competitive, and takes it to a different level."
Everett, 34, is having one of the finest seasons of his career. He is hitting .269 with 20 homers and 73 RBI. And he is the best clutch hitter on the team. Everett is hitting .313 with a staggering .463 on-base percentage with two outs and runners in scoring position, ranking fourth in the AL.
And just when the White Sox appeared to be fading, losing seven in a row, along comes Everett to the rescue. It was his four-RBI game in Minnesota last week that started the White Sox's four-game winning streak. It was Everett's production on the first two legs of their road trip — .389 (7-for-18) with two doubles, two homers and five RBI — that halted any talk that the White Sox were choking.
"We've been reading articles about us choking all year," says closer Dustin Hermanson. "It's nothing new. When we had a 14-game lead, people were talking about us choking.
"I'm just hoping guys aren't reading the papers and guys are acting like kids and having fun. It seems like when this team is having fun, it's when we play the best. We haven't been doing that lately because guys have been putting pressure on themselves."
Everett, 34, is almost delighted by the talk. The White Sox don't need your support. They've been doing just fine without you, so please, don't jump on that bandwagon now.
"We've had haters all year," Everett says. "No one thought we could do this. Really, I don't think any of us could have envisioned we'd have the best record in the league. We felt we would be this good, but no one was going to be stupid enough to outright say it."
It was Everett who refused to let his teammates succumb to all of the skeptics and cynicism. He made sure the White Sox believed they were as good as anybody else. He challenged his teammates to be tough. When they jumped out to a five-game lead with their 16-4 start, it wasn't enough. He wanted to suffocate every bit of life out of the rest of the AL Central.
"It reminded me of my days in Houston, when we not only had fun, but we wanted to beat people's heads in all of the time," Everett says. "I've got no sympathy for anyone in the game. I just want to beat you. And I want to beat you as bad as possible."
It's this attitude that made GM Kenny Williams trade for Everett — twice. He never worried about Everett being a clubhouse distraction if he was a role player when Thomas returned. He wasn't concerned about playing time. Williams knew that whatever role Everett was provided, he'd do it as best he could while remaining a strong clubhouse leader.
"He's given this club a little bit of an edge that's been lacking," Willliams says. "The way he plays the game, what he brings to the field every day, you can't ask for anything more. He has meant so much to us, on and off the field.
"I'll tell you, too, that I get more letters congratulating him and Aaron Rowand for all of the kindness toward kids at the ballpark, too."
Everett may have a kind heart, but whatever you do, don't spread it around.
"It's funny because when he goes to the plate, he actually likes guys yelling at him," Garland says. "He wants to be booed. I think he thrives off that.
"It's just like in here, he wants someone to bring up a subject he can argue about. That's why I stay away from his conversations. Because no matter what you say, or what you feel, you'll come away from it convinced that you're wrong. That's why they call him 'The Truth.'
"And you don't mess with 'The Truth.' "
Just ask the rest of the American League.

The Location
Hanover lies along the eastern bank of the Connecticut River, between the Green Mountains of Vermont and the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Hanover is a small town (about 9, 200 residents) whose major employers are Dartmouth College and the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. The downtown area, consisting of about four square blocks of shops, is right next to the College. Hanover has tried hard to preserve the traditional New England small-town qualities; there are no big shopping malls or fast food restaurants. The same holds for Norwich, Vermont, just across the river.
The neighboring towns of Lebanon and West Lebanon in New Hampshire, and White River Junction in Vermont, are slightly larger and offer more in the way of consumerism. All the other towns in the area are quite small, and the local general store still thrives. The area is served by one local newspaper, several radio stations, and a television station. Boston TV is available on cable in most towns, along with the usual array of movie and sports channels.
Amid such rural beauty, it is not surprising that mountain climbing, cross-country skiing, canoeing, and hiking are popular activities. The Dartmouth Outing Club maintains hiking and ski trails all over New Hampshire, and the Appalachian Trail actually goes right through downtown Hanover. The Outing Club leads hikes, bike rides, canoe trips, and ski trips all year round.
