Have You Created the World's Best Startup Business? Here's How to Find the Answer
International Business Awards Offers Entrepreneurs Chance to Benchmark Against the World's Best
FAIRFAX, VA --(Marketwired) - It's hard to start a business. It's even harder to make it successful. To honor the courage and ingenuity of entrepreneurs around the world, the prestigious International Business Awards have introduced four Startup of the Year categories this year. There is no cost for startups of all kinds to nominate themselves to win a Stevie® Award trophy.
As founder and president of the Stevie Awards, Michael Gallagher knows about the challenges entrepreneurs face when starting their businesses: "Founders must overcome many obstacles in order to succeed. We at the Stevie Awards want to help remove one of those obstacles by providing the world's best startup companies with a platform on which to generate national and international brand recognition."
Eligible to enter the IBA's Startup of the Year categories are companies and entrepreneurs that began operations since the beginning of 2013. The final entry deadline for The International Business Awards is June 10, 2015. The entry kit and complete details on the competition are available at http://www.StevieAwards.com/IBA.
All organizations worldwide -- public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small -- may submit nominations to The International Business Awards. Every year, household-name companies such as Hyundai, Procter & Gamble, and Unilever are joined in the winners' circle by small and medium-size organizations that are still building their brands. Entering the IBAs is a cost-effective way to thank and honor a firm's valued employees and to build or burnish a corporate brand.Young companies can only benefit from nominating themselves in The International Business Awards, explains Gallagher. In addition to the increased media awareness gained by winning a Stevie Award, winning entrepreneurs can use their entries for international benchmarking.
About the Stevie Awards
Stevie Awards are conferred in six programs: the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards, the German Stevie Awards, The American Business Awards, The International Business Awards, the Stevie Awards for Women in Business, and the Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service. Stevie Awards competitions receive more than 10,000 entries each year from organizations in more than 60 nations. Honoring organizations of all types and sizes and the people behind them, the Stevies recognize outstanding performances in the workplace worldwide.

Here is some additional information about Charlie Louvin. The source of these additional comments is his son, Charlie Louvin, Jr, known as Sonny. He is reporting that his father is losing the fight with pancreatic cancer. He was admitted on Monday to a hospital in Tullahoma, Tennessee for dehydration and a urinary tract infection. According to Sonny, "About three weeks ago, Charlie took a turn for the worse. He went back to his old ways, smoking more than ever." Again from Sonny, "It's over. He's already told me that he doesn't want to sing, work anymore. He said 'I'm tired, son and want to go home'. He's had a great run in life. I know a side of him that not too many know. His mind is in a lot of confusion, hallucinations, etc., but he knows me." Again, that is from Sonny Louvin. Really sad news.

As parents it is important for us to teach our kids to think outside themselves. One of the easiest ways to convey this message to be an example. We think fostering relationships with those who build us up is one of the best things we can teach our kids to do. One of our favorite things to do is make presents for friends and also for those in need. It brings us joy to know we are helping someone out. Today we are partnering with Luvs Diapers to share about "What we Luv".
You know what I love? I love hanging out with friends. I love coffee, obviously. Downtime is my greatest and often absent true love. When our babies are away at school moms can easily get wrapped up in other stuff. Work, housekeeping, errands, and more can eat up those precious school and daycare hours quickly. Even with a busy schedule I've made sure to get together with friends about once every other week. Sometimes we meet at a local coffee shop, but we often get together at one mom's house. Sometimes it is a group, sometimes it is one on one; but I just know I need to make time to be with grown ups.
During that time we rest, laugh, and often talk about what is on our hearts.
This past week it was my turn to host. The good folks at Luvs sent over adorable decorations and goody bags for each of my friends. I was so excited to treat my friends to a little party, but also spread the love a little further. We decided this day to put together a care package for a center that serves moms in need in our community. The number one thing that mothers ask for are diapers. Diapers, especially quality diapers can be expensive. I am excited to share some amazing Luvs diapers in care package.
All of my friends in attendance are experienced parents. We all agreed that Luvs are a great price and there is a reason Luvs is the official diaper of experienced parents. Choosing Luvs over a pricier brand can save up to $150 a year. I chose Luvs with my kids so I thought it would be a great diaper to share with new moms too. We want the little love that wears these to be comfy and cozy. Luvs Ultra Leakguards with NightLock Plus™ are better than ever and keep kiddos dry all night. Experienced moms agree that Luvs are a great diaper choice where you do not have to sacrifice quality for a lower price.
Our little get together was so much fun for us, but it was extra special because we packed several bags of new baby necessities for moms in need in our community. Friends brought gently loved items, brand new items, and of course we put a few packages of Luvs in the box. All in all we packed three big gift bags full of items for me to drop off the following week.
This is only a small portion of what went into our donation bag. There was even more that didn't make it into the picture! Experienced moms know what is up! Quality diapers that last, blankets, teethers, and a couple cute and sensible outfits is really the basics. I want to invite all of our readers to remember to make time to get together with friends, even if only for a few hours. Celebrate "What U Luv" too!

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Following his SAG win for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture Sunday night, "King's Speech' star Geoffrey Rush weighed in on the rumored re-cutting of the R-rated film, which, after Tom Hooper's DGA win on Saturday night and Colin Firth's SAG victory, is better poised to take home the Best Picture Oscar.
"I just think it's a shame considering that it's all in the context of therapeutic play," Rush told The Hollywood Reporter of the key scene in which King George VI (Firth) is asked to unleash a string of expletives by his speech coach Lionel Logue (Rush) in order to treat the king's lifelong stutter.
"It's almost like a tongue-twister," said Rush. "It's gobbledygook. But it's not aggressive, it's not offensive. It's not harmful."
Rush said if the film is indeed recut by executive producer and distributor Harvey Weinstein in order to attract a wider audience and PG-13 rating, he thinks "they should just 'bleep' it. If you cut it, then you're going cut one of the key thrills of the film."
Rush also voiced his frustration over critics who say "The King's Speech' distorts history by omitting details, such as Edward VII's (Guy Pearce) Nazi sympathies and Winston Churchill's (Timothy Spall) support of Edward VII during his embarrassing abdication of the throne to his brother.
"There were more scenes in the longer version of the film…that delved a little bit more complexly with Churchill," said Rush. "But, ultimately, to tell a two-hour story, there's a certain movement and momentum. The heart of the story needed to revolve around the key players of the royal family and the relationship between King George VI and Logue."
In the end, Rush said the film's main source material was the one he most believed in.
"I would say that given we had access to Logue's diaries…I don't think we've over-mythologized anything," he said. "If anything, we've put a kind of everyday humanity into a family blanketed with propaganda."
Of the film's critics, Rush added,: "It's just one of those things that happens at this stage of an awards campaign."

They went out of business, to bad they had good food and a good price. the bang bang shrimp was Great!
The atmosphere and food are good, unfortunately they are closing the Bonefish Grill located on Wolf Road, Albany, NY. This business is likely not in business in this location. It is disappointing.
My circle of friends and I made Bonefish Grill our "go-to" gathering place quarterly. We always enjoy the Bang-Bang Shrimp and other delicious entrees. Just recently, one of my friends informed me that she ate there earlier one week and by the end of the...More
Great place. Good food. Good service. Always busy. Not really understanding why they closed with such good thing going.
We've been here many times, and not once have we had a disappointing meal or service. This place, while expensive, has become our go-to choice when we want a nice night out and a good meal. Fish or steak entrees are equally good, and there...More
The service was okay, but the fish and chips were just terrible. There were three tiny pieces of tough fish surrounded by 3/4 inch thick 'tempura' breading. I was able to peel off the tempura batter and eat the fish. The french fries were good...More
Quiet ambience during a midweek lunch shift. The blackened swordfish & shrimp cocktail were very fresh, just right. The autumn salad was a delight. A great place for excellent food and no background music means you can hear your table conversation. I will return!
The place was very busy of course. Told there would be an hour wait. Said ok. Sat at bar to have drinks and before we finished our drinks we were seated. About 30 min. Our waitress Lori was very nice. Dinner was very good had...More

About MeHey! My name is Kerissa and I am currently an independently contracted Promotional model/brand ambassador. I have been an independently contracted promotional model and brand ambassador for about three years now and I really enjoy it! I would like to network with other promo models on here as well as those looking to staff promotional models for various events! I love anything that has to do with racing and motorsports; Anything like Petite Le Mans, supercross, Grand Am Racing, drag racing, and Drift events! I have not done any other modeling besides promotions and a few shoots here and there. I have little experience with modeling and posing but if you are patient and willing to work with me, I am willing to work with you as well. I would like to gain more experience within the modeling industry so I can learn and to grow from my experiences and to better myself as a model! I like receiving constructive criticism when it comes to modeling so I can better myself and know what I need to work on. I am very funny, outgoing, sweet, caring, somewhat shy at times, yet spontaneous! I take directions very well and will wear just about anything and do not mind wearing my hair and makeup in different ways! I do not pose nude but I am willing to wear swimwear and lingerie if in a tasteful manner. I am always smiling, and find it hard to be somewhat serious in photographs! I have been told that I would be great for commercial print and lifestyle shoots because of my smile! I am looking for mostly paid assignments although, I am willing to TFP depending on the assignment. I am always looking for Promotional gigs as well! If you would like to work together, please feel free to send me a message and I will reply as soon as I can! Thank you!

can one write a j2me code to record voice conversation during mobile phone calls and to also do a pen register tap(either by synchronizing the phone log). Will it be a good idea if one decide to put it into oracle lite(olite) to be able to query it further. it should have the feature to be able to be accessed remotely just like a answering machine.

So this 4th of July im going down to my boyfriends house to light some fireworks.. All of his friends and family is coming. Obviously since im a girl and he's a boy i can't stay the night at his house which is totally understandable and i respect that. But what i dont understand is that his mom let's his friend kimmy, stay the night even though she's a girl.. Yeah she dresses way differently (boyish) but that doesn't seem fair.. I dont know.. Maybe its just me.. Please help.. When i try to bring it up with him i just end up freezing up and not telling him... Im trying really hard not to make a huge deal out of it but.. It doesn't seem fair...
Most Helpful Girl
Maybe she's a family friend00|00|0
Yeah she is.. But his always uses that as an excuse for us to not see each other.. "because she's a girl!" just because kimmy dresses up like a boy doesn't mean she has a dick! Im sorry...
Family friend is a good reason for why she would be allowed to stay the night... I would'nt think twice about it. I mean, the mom probably is thinking "I trust her, and they aren't dating"
When your dating it's a bit different because, well it should be obvious.

autocorrelation function
Definition of autocorrelation function
: a function that describes the autocorrelation of a quantity being continuously measured and that indicates the periodicity of the quantity Financial prices tend to be well approximated by the 'random walk'. The random walk never forgets. Every change is permanent. Changes are not reversed. The autocorrelation function of percentage changes (i.e. returns) shows near-zero values for autocorrelations. — Ajay Shah, The Financial Express, 8 Feb. 2010

"The one thing that typifies Plasmatreat is change." These were the words used by Christian Buske, Managing Partner of Plasmatreat GmbH and President/CEO of the Plasmatreat Group to describe the constant, fruitful change that his company has experienced over the last 20 years.
In 1989 after completing a degree in cybernetics and automation technology at the Leipzig University of Applied Sciences, the future entrepreneur, aged just 27 years, moved with his wife to Steinhagen, where he became fascinated by plasma. Together with his then partner, engineer and inventor Peter Förnsel, he developed the Openair®-Plasma jet technology, filing a patent application for it in 1995, the same year that he founded Plasmatreat GmbH.
Buske used the innovative technology to successfully apply atmospheric pressure plasma on an industrial scale for the very first time. It was Hella, one of the world's largest automotive component suppliers for lighting technology and electronic products that bought the first Openair®-Plasma system at that time, using it in series production for the pretreatment of car headlamps. Many large and smaller names were to follow and Plasmatreat expanded around the globe. Right from the outset the company's planning strategy was also characterized by targeted cooperation with universities and research institutes, nationally and internationally.
Within the last 20 years the original three-man start-up has evolved into a medium-sized company group headquartered in Steinhagen, Germany. The today's world market leader is operating in 35 countries and with 15 subsidiaries in 11 countries. Four of them are located in North America, chaired by Plasmatreat US in Elgin, Illinois. Now employing a workforce of 180 worldwide, in 2014 the company generated a turnover of around 30 million euros. Plasmatreat invests 12% of its turnover annually in research and development.

About the Book
A physicist sparks the idea of many worlds, of parallel universes that exist side by side.
An applied physicist specializing in optical systems discovers how to observe them.
Governmental agencies seize the technology and learn how to get to them.
The rest is history; a future created by the past that is controlled by the future which can change the past. Welcome to universal time travel and the worlds of the Creed Dominion.
Two friends, Cruisers of the Creed Dominion discover a well hidden secret; the universe is set to be destroyed. But by who and how, and why? How can the Creed not be aware? Will these two Dominion enforcers be able to prevent all life, our unique timeline and the Prime Locale from being destroyed? Once a scheme as grand as that is set in motion, how can it be stopped?
Join them on their quest, a journey possibly leading back to a singularity, taking them and everything that exists now to the end, and quickly.
Understand how the peripheral creatures can help and how diffraction time travel and universe hopping are now a reality. Discover how the Prime Locale, black holes and the diffraction of light can take us to an infinite number of parallel universes; of parallel u-times.
See the result of misunderstanding lifeforms at the quantum level and how this can lead to almost certain destruction.
Explore the mind of the Grenine, observe their artificial atom creations and then join with Milo and Sarda to halt the seemingly inevitable.
The science involved is more than plausible to keep both your mind and your heart engaged to the very end, whatever that may entail.

After Lightshifters dreamy melancholic debut song "Luminous" (August
2012) the Norwegian / German duo release their new single "The Storm".
With profound atmospheric electronic arrangements and moving vocals, the
A-side draws you into the undergoing turmoil of a broken heart -
storming beneath an imposed outer calm proving impossible to sustain in
the long run. Followed by the stirring song "Fire" that
evokes a divine concept about love being an eternal entity living in all
things, that there´s a deeper meaning behind our existence.
Musician Marthe Borge-Lunde Pfirrmann aka Phoenix (Norwegian) has
besides Lightshifters various projects contributing as songwriter and
vocalist. Together with
Xerxes aka Klaus Lunde a second EP was released this year (april 2013)
"First Ray of Light".
Sound engineer and musician Michael Pfirrmann is the owner of
Klangkomplex in Lübeck / Germany. During the 90s he founded the dark
electro band Inscape, active till early 2000. Since then his art-project
Odradek emerged inspired by the story "The Worries of a Householder"
written by Franz Kafka. In 2009 his well received debut album
"Zeichensetzung" was released.
Exclusive mp3db.ru release.
Tracklist:1. The Storm (4:44)2. Fire (4:06)

This is simply amazing! Superstar Rajinikanth was in talks for remaking the Kannada movie, Shivalinga. The Tamil actor cleared all the rumors yesterday, by watching the movie in Chennai. Will Rajinikanth star in the remake? Read further...
Directed by P Vasu, Shivalinga is a horror-thriller which was released on Feb 12. The movie starred Karunada Chakravarthy Shivarajkumar, actress Vedhika & debutant Sakti Vasudevan (son of P Vasu).
Yesterday, Feb 18, evening, the news about Superstar Rajinikanth watching Shivalinga, went viral on almost all the social networking sites. But, so far, nothing has been revealed!
The movie is surely one of the best movies of Shivarajkumar, in his acting career. After the success of Ram Gopal Varma's multilingual Killing Veerappan, Shivarajkumar has again received huge success from Shivalinga.
Coming from the director's of Aptamithra, Aptharaksha & Drishya, Shivalinga too, is completely gripping & interesting throughout it's length. The movie deals with a murder mystery in which the Hatrick Hero plays a CID officer.
Apart from Shivarajkumar, P Vasu has included three more characters who are as important as the hero of the movie. The three characters are Sathya (Vedhika), Raheem (Sakti Vasudevan) & a pigeon (Zaara).
The movie also stars comedian-musician-director Sadhu Kokila, who tickles the funny bones of the viewers with his comedy in between the suspenses in the film.
Earlier, Rajinikanth was bowled over P Vasu's Apthamitra which starred Dr Vishnuvardhan, Ramesh Aravind & Soundarya in the lead roles. The movie was remade into Tamil & dubbed in Telugu as Chandramukhi. Is Rajinikanth impressed with Shivalinga?
Let's wait for the official confirmation. Stay locked.
Continue to see the interesting pics from the movie below....

The loquat tree is an attractive ornamental tree with thick green foliage that provides shade and beauty to your landscape and produces a deliciously sweet loquat fruit. This fruit grows in clusters of 3 to 10 fuzzy, orange-yellow ovals that ripen from February to May. Loquats grow to heights of 20 feet and their leaves are evergreen, which makes them a delight to have in patio areas and backyards. They are easy to care for and require only occasional pruning.
Things You'll Need
- Pruning shears
Wait until the danger of frost has passed before cutting. Try to time your early pruning so it occurs just prior to the spring bud-break on the tree.
Prune out enough branches within the canopy of the tree to allow plenty of light into the branches--which in turn will boost fruit production. Loquat trees are drought-tolerant, but regular watering and pruning are important in order to develop rich hearty fruit.
Remove half of the loquat fruit when it is about pea-sized by removing half of each fruit cluster. This will increase both the fruit quality and size.
Dispose of diseased wood in a sealed bag or burn it. Fireblight disease---which causes branches to appear as if they are scorched---turns the branches of the tree brown or black and dries out the leaves. Pruning should be done immediately on any branches suffering from this, cutting off a full foot below the infected area into fresh wood. Sterilize your pruning tool with a 10 percent bleaching solution before using on other portions of the tree.
Perform additional pruning directly after harvest time, when terminal shoots are bulky and numerous. Loquats thrive with severe pruning, so do not use a light hand. Remove any cross-branches and thin out dense areas of growth.

Visual imaging modalities, videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) and fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallow, for assessment of oropharyngeal dysphagia have been part of the speech language pathologist's (SLPs) armamentarium for the diagnosis and treatment of dysphagia for decades. Recently, the addition of high-resolution manometry (HRM) has enabled the SLP to evaluate pharyngeal pressures and upper esophageal sphincter relaxation. Taken together, the use of visual imaging modalities with HRM can improve interpretation of swallowing physiology and facilitate more effective treatment planning. The goal of this article is to describe a clinical paradigm using HRM as an adjunct to VFSS, by the SLP, in the assessment of complex dysphagia. Moreover, in three cases described, the value of manometric measurements in elucidating swallowing imaging studies and documenting physiologic change in response to treatment is highlighted. As technology in this area is evolving, so will the clinical use of HRM by the SLP. Limitations of current HRM systems and applications are discussed.

Cramming more in the return path
Whether the mega mergers roiling cable lead to intense new competition among top players or to new levels of cooperation, it seems safe to say that one result of the intensifying scramble to stay on top could be the eventual dominance of cable's infrastructure in local broadband communications transport.
This possibility rests on the fact that, no matter how AT&T and the new AOL Time Warner conglomerate work out their complex dealings, they've raised the stakes so high that they have no choice but to future-proof their networks as quickly as possible. And because they can do it in more or less uniform fashion across a newly standardized multiservice platform, they are assured of having the mass market scale essential to making their presence felt on retail shelves, where consumer purchases of modems, set-tops and other devices will decide who wins and loses in the broadband network services marketplace.
Ironically, the competitive threat AT&T and AOL Time Warner pose to each other could become the biggest goad toward maximizing their cable network potential against other platforms, because these are the entities who seem most motivated to serve the residential market with a full range of advanced services. That the threat of head-to-head competition between the two leading cable companies is real can be seen in AOL's aggressive broadband expansion strategy, which, as Robert Pittman, co-COO designate of AOL Time Warner, puts it, is to reach "every user in the country via cable, DSL, wireless and satellite."
That applies to AOL TV as well as the broadband-enhanced PC-based service, and it applies to Time Warner cable markets as well as other cable markets, where the AOL goal is to serve customers no matter what access means they use, says AOL spokeswoman Wendy Goldberg. With cable access now closed, AOL is focusing on the DSL and satellite options, with the satellite connection already on and DSL in limited commercial launches to existing AOL customers in several unnamed Bell Atlantic and SBC Communications markets.
"We're working closely with our partners to make the upgrade to DSL service as easy and convenient as possible for our customers," Goldberg says. This includes determining whether customers prefer the "splitterless" approach where they use the same in-home wiring for DSL and regular phone service, or the traditional approach that requires a technician to install a second wire in the home.
As for AOL TV, the company demonstrated its new service at the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and is planning to begin introducing the service commercially in the spring, Goldberg says, declining to say where the service will be introduced initially. AOL has contracted with Philips Electronics to supply set-tops for the DSL environment in support of AOL and with Liberate Technologies Inc. to provide the navigating software.
AOL has also worked out deals with DirecTV for supply of AOL TV via DBS and with TiVo Inc. to incorporate TiVo's personalized digital TV recording technology into the set-top.
Meanwhile, the need to reach a broader audience with broadband content has prompted Excite@Home, in which AT&T is the largest stakeholder, to launch a broadband portal on Excite, which will afford users of DSL and other broadband platforms access to much of the broadband-enhanced content developed for @Home, with the added benefit of streamlined delivery via the national broadband backbone @Home originally created for cable distribution. According to informed sources, Excite@Home was close to announcing the new portal at press time, with the likelihood that it would also name certain ISPs as partners in networking arrangements that would ensure the highest quality access to the portal through the Excite@Home network interface points.
AT&T has also made clear that it will deliver local phone and high-speed data services over fixed wireless facilities in markets where it doesn't have a local phone affiliation with cable operators. AT&T spokesman Mark Siegel says the company might also use DSL "on a selected basis" for high-speed data only, noting that the company's commitment to its wireless strategy remains the main focus as an alternative to cable distribution.
But Siegel stresses that the company is determined to maximize its voice services reach over cable through the types of partnerships it has tentatively arranged with Time Warner. "The AOL Time Warner deal only serves to affirm our view that cable is the right broadband platform," he says.
With completion of its acquisition of cable company MediaOne Group, AT&T Broadband and Internet Services will have a cable footprint covering about 25 percent of U.S. households. And, if it is able to come to terms with Time Warner on details of the voice services agreement that was reached with that multiple system operator nearly a year ago, its voice-over-cable footprint would extend to some 40 million households.
But that's a big if, as officials at Time Warner make clear. "The first order of business is to unravel the ownership question, and from that everything else will flow, including the voice deal," says a Time Warner official, speaking on background.
The ownership question concerns the fact that MediaOne now holds a 25.5 percent stake in Time Warner Entertainment, which includes the cable properties, programming networks and other assets. The two sides must come to terms on how AT&T's share of that ownership is to be structured, as well as what to do about the 32 percent stake MediaOne has in the Road Runner high-speed cable data service, which could pose regulatory problems, given AT&T's 58 percent stake in Excite@Home.
These issues were to have been worked out in tandem with the closing of the MediaOne/AT&T deal over the next few months, possibly leading to a rearrangement in the proportions so that AT&T would end up with a reduced share of Time Warner content properties in exchange for a greater share of the cable unit and completion of the voice deal. Now, with AOL as the new owner of Time Warner, such decisions will have to await conclusion of the AOL Time Warner deal, which will take the rest of the year, if not longer.
Further complicating matters is the fact that Time Warner is now preparing to enter the voice business on its own steam via the IP (Internet Protocol) platform that has been developed for the cable industry under the PacketCable banner. During the second quarter, the MSO plans to begin testing a second-line service over its Portland, Maine system, priced at $4.95 per month, with the intention of moving to widescale rollouts if the market trial pans out.
Similarly, Comcast Corp., another potential AT&T voice partner in cable, is moving ahead with its own voice service plans, using the new PacketCable platform, starting with a test involving equipment supplied by Lucent Technologies Inc. over Comcast's Union, N.J. facilities. Comcast last year joined forces with MSOs Cox Communications and MediaOne, before AT&T's bid for MediaOne, to form a united negotiating front with a combined footprint which they hoped would be sufficient to secure terms on voice services that would be comparable to those reached by the much larger Time Warner Cable, but now Comcast isn't counting on AT&T as it prepares for the leap into telephony.
In contrast to the growing support among cable companies for the new IP voice approach, AT&T is putting greater emphasis on the non-IP packet technology supplied by Arris Interactive, which it has been using since it began testing voice services in Fremont, Calif. last year and, even earlier, in Hartford, Conn. under the previous ownership of Tele-Communications Inc. Originally viewed as a stopgap while the firm awaited maturation of the PacketCable platform, the proprietary voice systems supplied by Arris and others have not only performed extremely well; their costs have dropped much faster than anticipated.
None of this is to say, of course, that AT&T can't move forward with telephony deals with Time Warner, Comcast or other cable companies. But the farther potential partners go without AT&T's participation, the harder it will be to put deals together, especially if the other companies are successful in their go-it-alone modes.
Meanwhile, AT&T BIS appears to be clicking on all cylinders with regard to all it has laid out as its internal cable agenda, including its efforts to improve on the underlying cable architecture as well as its move into other advanced service categories, including interactive TV, high-speed data and Web-to-the-TV applications. In fact, if work on the new architecture continues to progress along the latest lines outlined by senior engineers, AT&T could well end up revolutionizing the industry's approach to delivering services, with cost reductions affecting everything from capital spending on plant expansion to the means by which data signals are accessed by end users.
The prospects for dramatic improvements along these lines are reflected in plans for a third phase of the company's "LightWire" version of the traditional cable hybrid fiber/coax network. The company has been testing the first phase of this design over 600 miles of commercially operating plant in its Salt Lake City system with strong results, prompting it to begin using the design for upgrade projects that were already slated for this year under the old HFC approach.
As currently deployed, LightWire entails extension of fiber to "mini-fiber nodes" at interface points on the existing coaxial cable plant that have the effect of eliminating all in-line amplifiers between the node and end users. According to Oleh Sniezko, AT&T BIS vice president of engineering, this use of fiber reduces the number of people contending for bandwidth over any coaxial serving area and cuts the ongoing maintenance and performance hassles associated with use of traditional coaxial amplifiers.
But the long-term benefits of LightWire could be much greater, as reflected in the company's thinking about Phases II and III of the design migration, Sniezko says. "We want to do distributed processing," he says, which means that rather than keeping all the cable modem termination system functions that control distribution of data services in the headend, as is now the case, much of the CMTS functionality would be positioned at remote fiber node locations in the field.
I'd guess that in five years, distributed CMTSs will be used in 80 percent of our systems," Sniezko says.
The idea is to limit the tasks performed at the primary hubs to bundling and routing while moving the MAC (media access control) functions to the mini nodes in the LightWire architecture. These points of final fiber termination serving about 70 homes each will be able to enforce access policies locally, provide dynamic network security protection on a distributed basis and resolve upstream contention within the serving area independent of the rest of the network, Sniezko explains.
The key to this step is the ability to distribute everything from and to the headend over the fiber portion of the plant in the telecommunications industry's time division multiplexed format, rather than using the more processing-intensive and costly amplitude modulation process that characterizes today's cable distribution technology. By delivering interactive, dedicated signals, as opposed to the point-to-multipoint broadcast cable channels, in the digital baseband mode, AT&T will be able to use off-the-shelf components common to LANs to perform MAC functions at the mini nodes, Sniezko says.
Already, he adds, Broadcom Corp. and other chip suppliers are offering 100 megabit-per-second and gigabit Ethernet integrated circuits that would make it possible to interact with end users on the coax as if they were service nodes on a LAN. "We want to push the HFC (hybrid fiber/coax) network to look exactly like a PON (passive optical network) while still using the coax," Sniezko says. "If the network capacity is enough between the primary and secondary hubs, the narrowcast part of the (traditional cable) subcarrier multiplexing system can disappear," he notes.
The key to making all this possible is the emergence of a new generation of optical devices that can be tightly integrated onto electronic circuits. "The enabling devices exist today, but that must be packaged to our specifications," Sniezko says.
No other cable company has moved this far into the future, notwithstanding the likelihood that the more cable employs IP technology to support voice, data and interactive TV entertainment, the more bandwidth it will need to handle all the dedicated traffic. The advanced phases of LightWire not only address the need to efficiently manage such traffic across a streamlined optical infrastructure, but also the need to simplify provisioning of an increasingly complex array of services to end users using straight-forward digital telecommunications protocols as opposed to the more complex protocols of the current cable data and packet voice standards.
AT&T has also taken the lead in formulating an architecture for delivering advanced television services, which is beginning to appeal to Time Warner in light of the latter's recognition that tomorrow's service paradigm might require more functionality in the end-to-end client/server model than it once assumed.
Time Warner has been promoting its Pegasus digital set-top architecture, which it has been aggressively deploying throughout the past year, as a foundation for OpenCable, whereas AT&T has promoted a set of APIs for client (set-top) software and "middleware" linking clients and server platforms in the headend that assume a higher level of functionality in the set-top than Pegasus assumes. Now, however, Time Warner recognizes the system it chooses must integrate "many of the things that Jim (Wood, of AT&T BIS) has been talking about," says John Callahan, vice president of interactive services at Time Warner Cable (see below).
In a move that promises to bring the two MSOs closer on the overall OpenCable environment, Time Warner, which has been debating the question of "to middleware or not to middleware," is leaning toward a middleware approach where "some kind of virtual machine environment is the most likely candidate," Callahan says. Such an environment invites the kind of flexibility and processing power in the set-top box that AT&T envisions.
As described by Jim Wood, VP for advanced technology at AT&T BIS, this architecture includes a wide range of APIs that are designed to connect the set-top terminal operating system with server-based services via "middleware" that expands the range of services that can be delivered to end users.
Key components of this architecture include:
the broadcast service layer, which supports the ability of applications to "get hold" of TV channels or other applications in the box without relying on a click of the remote, whether those applications are in the electronic programming guide (EPG), the vertical blanking interval or some "out-of-band" location;
the HTML engine, an "absolutely critical" component that provides for navigation across different applications (services) and which, in AT&T's case, involves use of a specialized version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer navigator but which can also involve implementation of navigators in the Java Virtual Machine environment;
the foundation layer, the set of APIs for all services that provides access to underlying support mechanisms in the set-top, such as the graphics/video composition engine, the service policy aggregator and provider and the event/usage logging process;
the common content interface, which allows multiple Web sites to have access to the different resources in the set-top;
the EPG support module, which allows new EPGs to be loaded into the set-top;
and the Navshell Application, which is the master application running on the set-top to manage such functions as the provision of user graphical interfaces for various service categories, control over the combined graphical user experience as generated through the composition engine of the set-top, and the display of enhanced TV content.
All of this dovetails with AT&T's deal with Microsoft Corp. to introduce a set-top platform commercially this year that employs the Windows CE Plus operating system the software company has designed for interactive entertainment applications. If AT&T succeeds at drawing other cable MSOs to this platform, it will have more leverage in dealing with content providers as it attempts to generate advanced services that are distinct from those of anyone else, including AOL Time Warner.
Comcast, which, thanks to a $1-billion investment from Microsoft, is already in this camp, seems well positioned to emerge as a close ally of AT&T BIS, especially because it is partnered with the latter in ownership of Excite@Home and has expressed interest in doing a telephony deal. Sources report AT&T is also actively pursuing expansion of its 33 percent ownership stake in Cablevision Systems Corp., which, so far, has resisted doing a voice services deal with AT&T.
Questioned whether, in light of the reach of AOL as a provider of Time Warner content over DSL, cable and satellite, AT&T's partnering strategy might also involve efforts to build a cable coalition on content, Siegel replies: "We're looking at a variety of options, but I don't want to get into that."
Should these and other deals come to fruition, AT&T would be in a position to promote its new LightWire architecture on a much vaster scale, giving it a long-term migration strategy toward lower costs of delivering all types of broadband services in what would, ultimately, be a realization of the long-held passive optical network (PON) vision of what was once AT&T Bell Laboratories.
Roping in enough cable allies on the voice, data, interactive TV and network architecture components of its strategy to make its cable play really pay off may look like a long shot at this point; but if it succeeds, the company will have pulled off the evolution to the virtually unlimited bandwidth potential of fiber-based broadband technology at a fraction of the costs its competitors would incur to match it.
Whether AOL Time Warner somehow ends up in such a coalition or pushes forward with a competing coalition of in-house and third-party affiliations remains to be seen. But, whichever way it goes, it will be as motivated as AT&T to push the evolution of its various service platforms forward, not to mention the overall capacity and functionality of its cable networks. If all this means the cable-based fiber PON is closer at hand than once seemed possible, it's hard to imagine how carriers operating on other platforms will manage to match such network capabilities in anything approaching the same timeframe.

Product Highlights
The 12x32 StabilEyes VR Image Stabilized Binocular from Nikon offers steady viewing previously unavailable from handheld optics of this magnification. Integrated sensors and servo motors counteract vertical and horizontal motion as well as rolling motion commonly experienced while viewing from a moving vehicle. A fully multicoated optical path and phase-correction prism coating allow the StabilEyes VR binocular to transmit a bright image that is color faithful and rich with contrast.
Nikon's Vibration Reduction (VR) system stabilizes the image by adjusting the binocular's prisms inside a gimbaled housing—allowing up to 3° of motion compensation on each axis. The image stabilized view improves image sharpness and can minimize eye fatigue commonly experienced during long-during observations.
A 15mm eye relief and Turn-and-Slide eyecups with multiple click-stop positions can provide a comfortable viewing distance for almost any viewer. The 55° apparent viewing angle and 11.5 ft minimum focus distance equip the 12x32 StabilEyes VR for intermediate to long-range viewing tasks. In addition to the image quality rendered by fully multicoated optics and VR system, the StabilEyes VR binocular features a nitrogen-filled housing that provides fogproof and waterproof performance.

Guys, if a woman unintentionally hurt your feelings, but nonetheless, you were hurt very badly, how long would it take for you to get over it?
I think I said something to hurt my friend's feelings. We've been friends for over 25 years and we used to speak often, but I haven't heard from him in over a month since saying what I did. I apologized, but still no word form him. Will he stay mad/hurt forever?
Most Helpful Girl
I read what you wrote to jwhite90. I know this may sound weird but maybe it's possible he did get in contact to have an affair with you. It would explain why after saying your not interested in dating him that he broke contact with you.
Not trying to be harsh but he wouldn't be the first married man to get some action on the side.
- Show AllShow Less
No problem. I doubt he thinks little of you, you were probably one of his 'what could have happened girls' and he wanted to find out. Don't feel bad, what you said wasn't offensive and he could have only taken it as such if that was his intention.
Best of luck :)
Thanks. I have a feeling I'll need lots of luck and patience until he resurfaces...if he ever chooses to.

MSRP* starting at $65,900
Alfa Romeo 4C Spider is designed around the driver. Overall performance is superbly enhanced with numerous features designed to hone and improve each trip. Four-mode Alfa DNA gives drivers the ability to create a customized vehicle experience according to driving conditions or desired vehicle responsiveness. Choose from its All-Weather, Natural, Dynamic or Race modes which make changes in throttle response, shifting speeds and traction control for a driving experience tailored to any situation.
Natural elements make up the most high-tech materials in automotive engineering. The monocoque of the 4C Spider is a single Carbon Fiber body similar to that of a supercar, while its crankcase and its front and rear frames combine the strength, rigidity and lightweight properties of aluminum. Sheet Molded Compound (SMC) is used for the outer body and is 20% lighter and more stable than steel — and also resists corrosion.
The 4C Spider is equipped with an Alfa TCT 6-speed automatic transmission with a twin clutch and paddle shifters, a solution that combines the instant power of a sequential shift with all the convenience of an automatic. Pressing the brake pedal while fully pushing the accelerator pedal and triggering the left paddle on the steering wheel activates Launch Control. The moment the brake pedal is released, the system automatically controls the transmission, traction and power to maximize acceleration.
Alfa Romeo 4C Spider makes its mark with aggressive performance that's owed to innovative technology and new levels of efficiency.
The 4C Spider boasts 237 hp, 258 lb-ft of torque, 136 hp/liter and a blazing top speed of 160 mph. A quick look at the engine reveals an all-aluminum design with 4 valves per cylinder, a new-generation turbocharger, ultra-high pressure direct fuel injection and a dual-core intercooler that cools intake air before it reaches the turbocharger.
Beyond delivering outdoor splendor, the open-air design of the 4C Spider includes an interior that caters to the senses. Glances turn into gazes with gleaming carbon fiber accents and vent surrounds, distinctive exterior color-matched fabrics and trims and contrasting stitching. Opulent materials in seating, steering wheel, shifter and other touch points complete the experience.

Term is over! Let's take a moment to flail about like 150-year-old musical automatons, then we can get back to the post.
7 Quick Takes Friday is now hosted by This Ain't the Lyceum.
Wondering why I'm doing so much flailing for simply finishing my academic work? Well, today I had an exam (which I found out is worth 35% of the module), yesterday I had an exam, Monday I had an exam. Oh, and I had two essays due in for Thursday. I have been off-my-feet-in-work busy this week, and it is such a relief to be able to get back to writing work again. Hence, why I don't intend to go back to my pre-uni accommodation for another week or so. I need to catch up with my own life first.
Conversely, this week has been such a boost for my singing. Not to mention that The Tea Sergeant and I work wonders on each other's self-confidence. Without saying too much for his sake, I'll simply add that there are bizarrely striking similarities between Chris and I and the characters Lucas and Andrea from my romance novel Triangle.
I also believe this week has been warming for my faith. I sang the psalm for the Carol Mass on Sunday, and, despite the tremolo that snuck into my voice, I got a few compliments, particularly for my use of intensity/volume, afterwards. I may forget to pray or read the Catechism every day, but I know God has already forgiven my falling short. More so, I'm more readily trusting what He is doing for me. As part of a Bible studies/ecumenical faith group I attend, I wrote down at the beginning of term what I was really pining for, and, out of the unlikeliness, He offered me the positive escape from the pain I have been feeling from the last couple of years.
Remember I mentioned last week that the Chamber Choir were singing carols for the campus winter wonderland? Reading Uni TV (RUON) uploaded their video summary of it. I am in one frame in my lovely purple coat. 😛 (At 1.40 if you're interested.)
Other than that, I haven't had the time for much else. We had our Swing Dance Christmas social on Wednesday – a social which, despite the name, involved no dancing. It was fun to get to know a little more about the other members of the society. And I was flattered by suggestions of my age as old as 25! xD
No weekly writing update, due to the aforementioned stuff, but I have been working on my Twitter pitches. WTCB is kind of making me proud.
Christmas is shockingly soon. It crept up on me. Do you know what your writer wants? Young writer Lucy Saxon offers some ideas.
Ooh, weird and shiny things. 🙂
Until next time, friends. Have a lovely weekend.

I lost many nights' sleep before I discovered these heat wraps. I was suffering from back pain for several years before I was diagnosed with hip dysplasia and scoliosis. Something as simple as scrubbing the bathtub would cause me to suffer excruciating back pain. I could alleviate it by using a heating pad. Unfortunately, you do not have freedom of movement when you need easy access to an electrical outlet.
It was around this time that ThermaCare HeatWraps appeared on the market. I had remembered being in a research study to test heat wraps for cramps, and they were very effective at reducing pain. I bought these to use on my back. I applied the wrap directly to my back. The heat therapy felt wonderful, and within about an hour, it provided significant relief. I was able to go about my day without having to be plugged into something. Not only that, but I was able to sleep with it on. They have been a real godsend.
The heat wraps are available in several sizes, for various areas of the body. They can be worn for up to 8 hours at a time, and provide up to 16 hours of relief from pain.
The only downside to these is that they are expensive and can only be used once. Still, I would pay just about anything for back pain relief. In fact, now I need them for my wrist also.
It has been very effective each time I have used one.
Ease of Use
At times, it can be a bit cumbersome. It all depends on where you stick it!

I had done something to irritate my lower back, and since we were on a trip, I didn't have my heating pad. My dear husband ran out to get me some relief, and he picked up a package of 2 **ThermaCare HeatWraps - Back & Hip**.
**About the product: **The heatwraps are basically a belt made of gauze-like cotton material that attaches with Velcro-type enclosures. Along the back are pebble-like patches of the heating material to soothe sore muscles. Each belt is available in two sizes: S-M or L-XL. The wraps provide a one-time use of up to 8 hours of heat. They are unscented and are made to be thin enough to wear under regular clothing.
**My take: **When these are on, they feel SOOOO good. But my problem was that the only size my husband could find (and the only ones I've ever found in stores) are the L-XL size. So no matter which way I moved, the wrap didn't stay in place around my hips, so the heat wasn't really penetrating the area I needed! By and large, they're not too uncomfortable, but it does kind of feel like you're wearing a girdle. The directions say to only wear the wrap for 8 hours, but I actually found that it stayed warm for about 12. I took an hour break at 8 hours, then put it back on for a few more, and it still provided some relief from the pain. The price is unfortunately more than I want to pay, but if it's not a chronic problem you want to treat, or you're on the road like I was, it's a great short-term solution! I prefer to use my heating pad at home, which can be re-used time and time again.
Overall, this is a convenient but pricey solution to temporary muscle problems. I just wish the smaller size were more widely available.

Comments about ThermaCare Lower Back & Hip HeatWraps:
These Thermacare wraps give me the most relief for my back than any other product I've ever tried. I wear them frequently as I have disintegrating discs in my back which causes muscle strain when I walk or stand. I put one on in the morning (it remains hidden underneath my clothing) and I generally get all day relief. You wear it for about eight hours but the relief lasts for at least ten hours after you remove the wrap which gives me relief all day long. I especially love the Extra large size as it covers my entire back, providing relief for the entire back. Once I discovered these, I greatly reduced the amount of pain medication I need to take and when I do need something, the pain is relieved by over the counter medication instead of narcotics.
Most of the time, I get relief within ten minutes or so.
Ease of Use
Very easy to use. Merely remove it from its pouch and wrap around your waist.
Comments about ThermaCare Lower Back & Hip HeatWraps:
I have fibromyalgia and use heat frequently. At home, I have the ability to use an electric heating pad or heated mattress pad. I don't have that luxury at work in a middle school. My job means that I am moving around the building throughout the day.
When at work or traveling to see my family, who live five hours away (by car,) I always carry Thermacare wraps to fight the pain. There is nothing easier to use when you have to move around at work or when your back gets stiff from traveling. I even keep a few stored at work or in my suitcases so that they are available if and when I need one!
These wraps help loosen up stiff joints and relieve pain from sore muscles. Thermacare wraps provide nice, soothing warmth that lasts all day. While these wraps may not get as warm as an electric heating pad, there is enough steady heat to provide some relief. They are a lifesaver when you need them.
Ease of Use
So easy! Open the package and wrap it on the body where there's pain. The velcro makes it easy to adjust and move up/down as needed.
Comments about ThermaCare Lower Back & Hip HeatWraps:
I have fibromyalgia and I suffer from almost constant pain. For a long time it was difficult for me to get any relief at all. Most pain medication doesn't do a whole lot for me. A friend of mine suggested these Heat wraps. I was hesitant to try them, because nothing had worked in the past but finally I said what the heck. I applied the wrap to my back and hips under my clothing one morning. I was so surprised at the pain relief I felt from this wrap. It helped to loosen up my tight aching muscles almost immediately. I assumed it wouldn't last that long, but to my surprise the heat actually did last eight hours. All day the wrap kept my back muscles relaxed and warm and surprisingly pain free. It was the first day in years that I didn't have pain in my back. Even after the wrap stopped giving heat, it still kept my back relaxed right up until I went to bed. I was hooked on these wraps and I use them every day. They've made my life so much better than it used to be.
Comments about ThermaCare Lower Back & Hip HeatWraps:
I hurt my back a couple of years ago and wish I had known about these sooner. They are amazing because you can feel the medicated patch working right away. It gets hot and cold all at the same time. It smells like icy hot and lasts for hours. They stay on really well. I always felt relief from some of the pain. It won't take it completely away but it does help to ease the pain.
You will feel it working instantly.
Ease of Use
Just peel off the plastic backing and you are good to put it on your back.
Comments about ThermaCare Lower Back & Hip HeatWraps:
When I was around 30 I found out that I had broke L5's in my back from a car accident. I was told that no surgery could be done to help improve it. I did physical therapy for a long time, but nothing really ever gave me relief again. When I became pregnant with my son I developed even more back pain. The middle of my back was starting to hurt now because it was going to overcompensate for my lower back pain. The pain was unbearable at times. I was using a microwave wrap, but I constantly had to reheat it. I found the ThermaCare back heat wraps one day in CVS. It worked so well. It by no means took all the pain away, but I was able to get relief. On really bad days, I would have my husband rub icy hot on my back and then put the ThermaCare wraps on. When I was pregnant with twins, my back pain got even worse. I would wear the ThermaCare wraps almost everyday. It truly was a life saver. They stayed put really well and you can adjust them very easily. This product really helped me in a time when I so desperately needed it.
Comments about ThermaCare Lower Back & Hip HeatWraps:
I love this product! I suffer from chronic pain and sometimes heat is the only thing that helps. You can't carry a heating pad around all day with you, but you can wear this air activated wrap. The quality of this product has improved from its original wrap. The Velcro closure is stronger and stays secure all day.
Sometimes wearing a wrap is the only thing that helps control my pain. After you open the package it begins to heat up rapidly and stays at a nice warm temperature for eight to sixteen hours. You do need to be careful, especially if you have sensitive skin. I have found that if I have too much pressure applied (like falling asleep on my back) for too long of a time, I can get a slight burn. like a mild sunburn. This rarely happens but can happen.
Ease of Use
Very easy to wrap around your back and secures well with a Velcro closure. It is important to select the correct size. Comes in small/medium and large/extra large. If the size is too small, it will cause the elastic infused material in the waist band to stretch too far and after awhile it starts breaking down.
Comments about ThermaCare Lower Back & Hip HeatWraps:
There were days when I had a back injury that would be unbearable. The TheraCare Lower Back & Hip HeatWraps definitely helped. They lasted throughout the entire day. These are a little pricey, but you cannot really put a price on your back feeling better.
It took away most of my back pain or at least made the pain more bearable.
Ease of Use
You just wrap it around your body.
Comments about ThermaCare Lower Back & Hip HeatWraps:
I injured my back playing a sport year ago, and from time to time it would hurt me. Then I applied the heatwrap to the area causing pain. Instant relief, and it last for such a long time.
Great product for anyone suffering with body aches or pain.
Ease of Use
Simple to use, it's a nice, and snug wrap for the body.

Comments about ThermaCare Lower Back & Hip HeatWraps:
As an active young man, I can't show any weakness so when I'm sore from a hard night of partying I turn to the ThermaCare Lower Back and Hip Heatwraps. The soothing heat penetrates my muscles to help my back feel renewed and pain free. So after rough days or nights ThermaCare is the way to go.
Comments about ThermaCare Lower Back & Hip HeatWraps:
As a person who suffers from chronic back pain and has an equal determination to perform my job properly at work, ThermaCare heat wraps for the lower back + hip area provide the perfect solution. Alongside several of their other heat wraps, I made sure to always bring a pack to work so that I could put one on when my back pain got bad. The wraps are comfortable, flexible (you can easily adjust the velcro), and can last all-day/a whole shift and make performing regular tasks much more manageable.
