OK, so now we have two new cabling standards to provide more bandwidth for
ever increasing megabit hungry networks . . .
. . . and to further complicate the lives of cabling engineers worldwide!
It would seem that existing Cat 6 and 7 cabling systems have become redundant
before they even took off and have been replaced by Augmented Category 6 (Cat
6A) and Augmented Category 7 (Cat 7A).
Cat 6A
Cat 6A is a 500MHz cabling system which can be UTP, FTP or SFTP and was designed to meet the
criteria for 10 Gigabit applications, whilst Cat 7A is a 1000MHz cabling solution which has been
developed to support the emerging 40 Gigabit Ethernet systems.

The TIA/EIA have stated that 10GbaseT should be possible over existing Cat 6 installations up to 37m,
and if the environment is not susceptible to Alien Crosstalk noise, even up to 55m. Running 10 Gigabit
Ethernet over Cat 6 is said to be unreliable at more than approximately 55m, so the development of Cat
6A was driven by the need to reliably run 10GBaseT up to 100m.
Here are the bandwidth and construction comparisons for the various types of network cables:
Cat 5e up to 100MHz - UTP or FTP
Cat 6 up to 250MHz - UTP, FTP or SFTP
Cat 6a up to 500MHz - UTP, FTP or SFTP
Cat 7 up to 600MHz - SFTP
Cat 7a up to 1000MHz - SFTP
Key to cable construction:
UTP - Unshielded Twisted Pair
FTP - Foil screened Twisted Pair
SFTP - Shielded and Foil screened Twisted Pair (an overall braided screen within which the individual
pairs have a foil screen)
Testing Cat 6A
The new standards for Cat 6A include testing for the effects of Alien Crosstalk. Now, I don't like to blow
my own trumpet but I've been
banging on about this
for over 10 years! And it's only just being
considered as an important parameter for signal transmissions.
Alien Crosstalk is the electro-magnetic induction of noise from adjacent cables in a loom, not just from
the pairs within a cables own jacket. This happens because an alternating current flow produces
electromagnetic fields around a cable, this field then induces a current flow in adjacent cables. The
strength of the field increases with signal frequency and because the speed of data transmissions is
ever increasing, Alien Crosstalk is becoming a problem.
The times I have tried to convince people that the more untidy a cabling system is the better it is for the
transmission of data. Of course, I do concede that a new cabling installation with all of the looms tied in
neat bundles of perfectly parallel cables, does provide the customer with more confidence in the ability
of the installation engineers. Never the less, it remains a fact that untidy is better. Maybe a compromise
would be to plait the cables . . . . . joking!!!
Rant over . . . now where was I ?
Oh yes . . . eliminating Alien Crosstalk.
Noise cancellation doesn't work!
Networking hardware at the ends of a cable use digital signal processing (DSP) techniques to cancel out
interference from other pairs in the same cable. Transceivers can do this because they know what data
is being sent over the cable so they cancel out any crosstalk which is known to be from a different pair.
With Alien Crosstalk however, the receiving hardware has no idea what data is being sent on a different
cable so eliminating Alien Crosstalk is not possible using DSP noise cancelling techniques.
One of the more effective ways to eliminate Alien Crosstalk is to use a shielded cabling system, this will
drain away any interference coming from within a cable and shield against interference from adjacent
cables. Another consideration is that cables are more susceptible to crosstalk the nearer you get to the
point of termination, so care within the cabinet to keep the cables separated as far as possible at the
back of the patch panels will further reduce the risk of interference. The patch leads themselves can
contribute to Alien Crosstalk so not being so neat in this area could be advantageous, also the use of
screened patch leads will further reduce Alien crosstalk, even on a UTP cabling plant.
How do we test for Alien Crosstalk and certify a cabling system to meet 10 Gigabit
This is where it gets a little complicated!
Essentially we need to run NEXT and ACR tests on both ends of a cable whilst simultaneously sending
signals down some of the other cables in the same wiring loom. Then we need to measure any crosstalk
coming from the other cables over the full frequency spectrum of the test range. A full explaination on
this can be found in the
So we have Cat 6A running at 500MHz and capable of supporting 10 gigabit Ethernet, surely this is now
fast enough for any desktop application? Well, yes it is . . . . in theory!
I read an article years ago by Paul Andres who was at the time the Managing Director of MOD-TAP
World Corporation. In it he discussed the 'Need For Speed' and went into great detail about the fastest
connection speed that a PC could possibly use given that the end user, a human, could concurrently
handle through our senses. High definition video, sounds, voice traffic, file transfer rates, etc. The
conclusion he came to then (probably late 1990's) was that 100MHz would just about be enough, and he
had a good point. So in theory Cat 5e would have just about been enough bandwidth, Cat 6 is definitely
enough and Cat 6A would be more than we could possibly handle. So why do we need Cat 7A and
1000MHz? Well, we as humans don't, not to the desk anyway. But server rooms, data centers and
backbone cabling will be needing as much bandwidth as we can possibly squeeze from a piece of
copper. Faster connections between networks mean we can serve more of those humans at the ends of
the networks per cable. So lets look at Cat 7A.
Cat 7A
There are two types of connector for Cat 7A systems. The first is the version developed by Nexans (IEC
60603-7-71, also available from other manufacturers) and is known as the GG45. This type is
backwards compatible with the RJ45 by the clever use of switch within the jack that changes the pole
layout from 8 contacts in a line (as in the RJ45), to four pairs of contacts at the corners. Ingenious!
Image courtesy of Nexans
This means that the existing RJ45 type leads and hardware can be used on the cabling plant, and when
the hardware is updated all that is required to go to full 1000MHz is to change the patch leads. This
seems to be an ideal solution as they are capable of pair isolation for the emerging high-speed
technologies. There is a wealth of information for the GG45 on the
Image courtesy of Nexans
The other type of connector is the 'non-backwards compatible' version often referred to as 'TERA' (IEC
61076-3-104). These have the contacts arranged as four pairs of contacts at the four corners to achieve
maximum pair isolation. This type also has a neat trick, the pairs can be used individually for different
applications, so by using single pair, two pair or all four pair plugs, multiple applications can be
supported over one cable. This obviously has a cost benefit, especially when cabling to the desk as one
cable can support 100Mb Ethernet, a phone and a video channel. For more information go to the
website and look for their info on Category 7/7A - TERA.
The ISO recommends the GG45 as the preferred connector for Data Centre installations, but allows the
'TERA' to be used where cable sharing is more important than backwards compatibility.
An Important Note.
Data Centres consume a lot of power, so there is a movement toward making them more efficient. One
of the ways being discussed is to reduce the need for DSP, this is quite a considerable overhead on
signal transmissions and adds to the heat generated by all networking equipment within the data center.
The theory is, that a good quality fully shielded cabling system is not as susceptible to crosstalk and
alien crosstalk, so it will require less noise cancellation. Less noise cancellation means less electronics.
Less electronics means less heat. Less heat means
less air conditioning. Less air conditioning means
less power consumption. Less power consumption
means a happier planet!
Cable Classifications
There are now so many different types of cable and
classifications that it can be somewhat confusing to
understand what is what. Cat 6/7, Cat 6A/7A, Class
E or F, EA or FA, UTP, FTP, SFTP, U/UTP? . . . . .
Uh! . . . . . Clarification is needed. More on this in the

Troubled institutions
The Canadian Senate, the Ontario Liberals and the Vatican struggle to find good notices in the Canadian press.
What differentiates the current Senate brouhaha from those in the past is that the alleged misbehavers are household names, Tim Harper argues in the TorontoStar — Patrick Brazeau, Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin, most notably. But he doubts serious reforms are in the offing. Too hard. More likely, he thinks, is a thorough steam-cleaning combined with some rudimentary reforms. The current fracas may finally "convince the Senate leadership to drag this body into the 21st century, open its books, clarify the rules, make it accountable, lose the sense of entitlement and come to the realization that in 2013 we can no longer afford, nor should we abide, a private club which gives the finger to the public's right to know," he suggests.
We'd sure settle for that, for now. But not the National Post's Jonathan Kay. The "larger problem" of the Red Chamber's "fusty and anachronistic nature … can't be addressed through any mere changes to the Senate's internal rules," he argues. "Rather, it is inherent to the nature of a moribund, unelected body that Canadians are supposed to pretend is an important Parliamentary institution."
Cardinal Roger Mahony, "guided by his conscience," must recuse himself form the papal conclave lest he bring yet more shame on the Church, the National Catholic Reporter's editorialists argue. Wait, sorry — it's The Globe and Mail's, for some reason.
New Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne's more conciliatory verbiage on teachers' contracts should be enough for the province's educators to resume their extracurriculars, the Toronto Star's editorialists patiently argue. And if they don't, some day — maybe even before July — the Star might actually get upset about it. You wouldn't like them when they're angry, teachers. Be warned.
The Post's Scott Stinsonsuggests Ontarians will never really agree on how much it cost to cynically cancel two gas-fired power plants for the Liberals' benefits, because of the enormous complexity of the subsequent decisions it necessitated: "Will new transmission lines be required to service the new, more remote plants? Will there be added costs to transport gas to them? Most significantly, how will the GTA get the added power that the cancelled plants were supposed to provide, and at what cost?" An inquiry might get to the bottom of that, he suggests. But politically, "the damage is already done." We dearly hope so.
Pauline Marois, ha ha ha
In the Montreal Gazette, L. Ian MacDonald correctly observes that Pauline Marois only has herself to blame for the saucy pasta mess all over her face, having interrupted a pleasant period of linguistic harmony with a needlessly divisive and anti-anglo election campaign.
The Post's Graeme Hamilton notes that Marois and her merry band of Péquistes have managed to leave precisely no one happy about the state of the province's universities: Not the underfunded schools themselves, not the rational students who attend them, and not their cretinous peers who are back out protesting in the street — the ones with whom Marois once made cynical common cause. As the Globe's editorialists succinctly put it, "Quebec has a mess, and she made it worse." It looks damn good on her.
As shocking as previous testimony at the Charbonneau Commission has been, the Gazette's editorialists find themselves most perturbed by the thought of how widely known the problem was. This week, commission investigator Guy Desrosiers "made it clear that not only were city hall authorities made aware of the problems within the public works department, but they were provided with clear and manageable recommendations on how to correct the situation." And they all looked the other way. Former mayor Gérald Tremblay wouldn't have been able to portray himself as a martyr, they correctly argue, had we known about this.

The Totally NEW Team Corwin Thread

March 1st, 2014, 00:57
Right into the muck, as far as I'm concerned. We do need to discuss our plans with necro4, though. We don't need the XP and even Az is holding a level now, so there's nothing keeping us in level 14 content besides ourselves. We were running Necro4 with the aim of picking up all the bits and pieces (tome, shield, sigil) to qualify for Abbot and such, but I don't know if the fever is still there. Klubbir has about half the exploders and rares for the Orchard, so I'd assume at a minimum we'd be finishing that off.
I spent some time consolidating my tome and shield pieces from my other toons. Sigil pieces are bound to character. I'm still short 1 shield piece and 2 tome pages. I've got multiples of many, so I might be able to help some others. It might be worth the time for the rest of y'all to do a consolidation as well. Since they can be freely moved around, it makes sense to put them all on a single toon and then pass them down as appropriate, kinda like everyone is doing with the tapestry pieces. Sigil pieces will be a pain.
Anyway, at a minimum I figure we finish off the Orchard explorers and tackle Fleshmakers on elite. Beyond that, we'll need to chat.
Sorry. No pearls of wisdom in this oyster.

It's that time of year again...when your house is filled with eggs, eggs, and more eggs. What do you do with all those eggs?
Here are some fun ideas that your whole family will enjoy: Make a yearly tradition of dying eggs for your Easter egg hunt [1]. Your kids are never too young or too old to enjoy making that special egg! Get creative, the sky's the limit. What do you do with the leftover egg cartons? Take a nature hike and let your child fill the individual holders with "treasures" found along the way. It's a great way to keep everything together and organized.
After the candy has been eaten and the plastic eggs have lost their appeal...fill them with rice or beans...and now you have musical shakers. Music promotes language acquisition, listening skills, memory, and motor skills. Plus, music is an essential Every Child Ready to Read [2] practice! And if you still need more ideas...there's always scrambled or over easy!

Letters 9-16-13
God's model for marriage is best
Limiting marriage to one man and one woman does not discriminate on the basis of sex or sexual orientation. It protects an institution that has been the foundation of our way of life: the one man, one woman family unit.
The idea of same-sex marriage denies the self-evident truth that the male and female bodies are designed for and complement each other. Opposite-sex marriage is the natural means by which the human race reproduces. And it is that interest in children that gives rise to government's interest in the institution. Children do best with both a mother and father who love each other and their children unconditionally.
We have seen the devastating effects of fatherlessness in our youth. It is simply irresponsible for our government to act as if fathers and mothers are not important for the optimal development of our future citizens.
The social data only confirms what the Bible tells us: that marriage is the union between one man and one woman, and children need both the love of a mother and a father. Deep inside, we all know this to be true and that is why the political establishment wants to go around the will of the people to bring same-sex marriage to Hawaii through a special session.
The people of Hawaii should not stand for it.

State Director for Concerned Women for America of Hawaii
Peace prize winner wants to attack Syria?
Gotta appreciate the irony of a democratic president, who was given the Nobel Peace Prize and voted into office by the same people who called President George W. Bush a "warmonger," for attacking Iraq is now ready to not only attack Syria, a country that has done nothing to us.
I'm sorry, did I say "irony?" I think the proper term would be "hypocrisy."

Diane was very knowledgable about the sites and the restaurants!! Her breakfasts were UNREAL DELICIOUS!! The house was clean and very relaxing to be in, you forgot you were in Cleveland..We had a blast!!
5 on April 20, 2017
My husband and I loved our stay at the J Palen House! We were in Cleveland to visit the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the J Palen House proved to be the perfect place to stay. Diane, our host, was absolutely delightful from the moment of our arrival to the moment of our departure. The rooms were exceptionally clean, the breakfasts were delicious, and the location was within easy walking distance of some great restaurants.
5 on February 01, 2017
Everything about our experience at J. Palen House was amazing. From the adorable courtyard/walkway, to the perfectly designed room/house. Going to a bed and breakfast was a new experience for us, and we are now sold on the experience. We will pass up a stay in a hotel any time, due to the fantastic time we had here for my birthday. I want to thank Diane for her warm welcoming, and the fantastic breakfast she made.
4.6 on September 05, 2016
Room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. The host was pleasant from the moment of arrival to departure. The location enabled me in less than 24 hours to tour the Rock and Roll hall of fame and Ohio City as well as attend my 50th reunion at nearby St. Ignatius. My how the neighborhood has changed for the better since my high school days.
5 on August 15, 2016
This is our second time at J. Palen. Both times we stayed in The Retreat. I cannot say enough how much we love the accommodations, location, and breakfast. The rooms are quaint but have all the modern amenities. Close to Cleveland's best, most innovative restaurants. Love, love J. Palen
4.8 on June 06, 2016
We stayed the weekend for my birthday and was truly impressed with the inn and its location. The rooms were immaculate and nicely decorated. Loved all of the antiques, and Diane is a wealth of knowledge about the area, local businesses, and entertainment spots. Will certainly spend the weekend again and bring friends next time. cg & tb

This is the 2nd year I have taken my husband there for his birthday, this year he was 50yrs old on Friday the 13th. Lots of great places to eat and drink within walking distance. The rooms are so comfortable, and relaxing. Will definitely be going back!
5 on May 10, 2016
Spent a lovely weekend in one of the J Palen House offsite properties, The Roost. Everything was so comfortable and pretty, especially the patio area where we enjoyed breakfast on Saturday morning and wine on Saturday night. Lots of good advice about the neighborhood from Diane, and pleasant company in the main house for Sunday brunch. Highly recommend, and we hope to return to try more of the great restaurants in the historic district.
5 on May 10, 2016
J. Palen was recommended to us by my brother and sister-in-law and now we are recommending this to anyone reading these reviews! It is within walkable distance to fun and interesting food establishments (The Velvet Tango Room for drinks and The Flying Fig for dinner). The warm welcome to J. Palen with the opportunity to warm up our own breakfast since not staying at the main house was great. The care taken in decorating is noticeable and is a delight!!
5 on February 18, 2016
The service, whether meeting us at the house to allow an early check in, discussing the various entertainment options, or making a fantastic Sunday brunch was outstanding. This was our second time at the J Palen House and it did not disappoint. Anyone traveling to Cleveland would be hard pressed to find a better location for a Bed & Breakfast than the J Palen House. Minutes away from great dining options as well as some unique entertainment this B&B is the place to stay.

January 6, 2014 -
House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) made the following statement after Janet Yellen was confirmed today by the United States Senate as the fifteenth Chairman of the Federal Reserve:
"I congratulate Dr. Yellen on her confirmation. The Federal Reserve plays an important role in the health of our economy. Unfortunately, our economy continues to be stuck in the slowest, weakest so-called recovery of modern times.
"Since 2008, the Federal Reserve has held interest rates near zero and quadrupled its balance sheet to $3.9 trillion. It has, in many ways, served as an enabler to the Obama administration's failed economic policy through an unprecedented campaign of monetary stimulus with three massive rounds of bond buying – a campaign described by one former Fed official as 'the greatest backdoor Wall Street bailout of all time.'
"Based upon the economy's subpar performance since the Federal Reserve embarked upon its stimulus more than five years ago, it is fair to conclude that rarely has so much been spent in pursuit of so little, and rarely has so much been risked in return for so little.
"That is why I hope Dr. Yellen will lead the Federal Reserve to adopt a more transparent and rules-based monetary policy that aims for price stability and long-term growth. Dr. Yellen has spoken favorably about such a rules-based policy in the past, saying it is what 'sensible central banks do.'
"It is important for the Federal Reserve to operate in the most transparent, predictable manner it possibly can to better serve the American people, and our committee has an obligation to carefully scrutinize the Federal Reserve's decisions and the way it communicates those decisions to the American people. As the committee embarks upon its most vigorous and sustained oversight of the Federal Reserve ever, I look forward to working with Dr. Yellen to accomplish these goals."
Last month, the House Financial Services Committee announced its "Federal Reserve Centennial Oversight Project" which will include an aggressive series of hearings during 2014 that will culminate with the development of legislation to reform how the nation's central bank operates.

Currency resilient
You can't, it seems, keep a good loonie down.
The loonie, as Canada's dollar coin is known, withstood the many blows that "rained down hard" last week, as economist Sal Guatieri put it, and, indeed, was above 93 cents U.S. today.
The Canadian dollar suffered heavily in the first three months of year, before perking up in the second quarter to mark the best performance among the world's major currencies.
And that won't sit well with the Bank of Canada, which, while not tampering with the currency, would of course like a weaker Canadian dollar to help juice a hoped-for rebound in exports.
"Short of cutting rates or selling the currency, dovish talk is about the only weapon it has left to counter the loonie's true best friend: higher short-term rates," Mr. Guatieri said in reference to the softer outlook for the Canadian economy unveiled by the central bank last week.
"Declining employment, fading natural gas prices and rising geopolitical tensions also landed a few body blows on the loonie in the past week," said the senior economist at BMO Nesbitt Burns.
But the currency's toughest enemy "is itself," according to Mr. Guatieri.
"At 93 cents U.S., it is overpriced, as witnessed by a chronic trade deficit (five years and counting) and steady one-way traffic over the border," he added in a research note.
"Since the Canadian dollar began rising in March, the number of Canadians visiting the States (and returning with cheaper goods) has begun climbing again after ebbing in the previous year. Meantime, the number of Americans setting foot in Canada is pretty much glued to record lows."
The view of the loonie has been shifting, so much so that speculators who had bet against it have now retreated.
Only recently did the billions in the net short positions reported by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission dwindle to nothing, and then move into positive territory to reach almost $1.5-billion in long positions last week, as reported by the CFTC on Friday.
"CAD and AUD continue to benefit from improving sentiment on the back of a supportive growth outlook … with net long positioning in both rising to levels not seen since [the first half of] 2013," said currency strategists Camilla Sutton and Eric Theoret of Bank of Nova Scotia, referring to the Canadian and Australian dollars by their symbols.
"For AUD the improvement reflects a steady rise in gross longs, while for CAD the build in longs remains a recent development, with the net reflecting an ongoing trend of short covering."
BMO's Mr. Guatieri believes the Canadian dollar's "fair value" is more around the 87-cent mark. And like some other observers, he believes the loonie will sink by about that six-cent difference over the next year or so given the economic outlook and speculation that the Federal Reserve will be faster than the Bank of Canada to hike its key interest rate, which now lags the Canadian benchmark.
"Assuming the U.S. economy outperforms Canada and the Fed leads the BoC's hand in lifting rates, that's probably where the loonie will end up a year from now," Mr. Guatieri said.
"But its surprising strength in the fact of ongoing challenges probably says something about where the risks lie."

What to watch for
Investors will have one eye on the troubles in Ukraine and the Middle East this week, and the other on a raft of corporate results, from the tech heavyweights to the auto giants.
Netflix Inc. reported after markets closed today, and will be followed later in the week by the likes of Apple Corp., Microsoft Corp. and Facebook Inc.
Netflix shares gained in after-hours action as its second-quarter profit more than doubled to $71-million (U.S.), or $1.15 a share, from $29-million or 49 cents a year earlier, and revenue climbed to $1.34-billion from $1.07-billion.
Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Co. earnings are also on tap this week, as are some big Canadian companies, including Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan and Loblaw Cos. Ltd.
So far this earnings season, it's been pretty good.
"While the Fed chair was musing about valuations, earnings reports were rolling in better than expected, especially in the financial sector," said senior economist Robert Kavcic of BMO Nesbitt Burns, referring to last week, when earnings reports began to come in in earnest and Federal Reserve chief Janet Yellen warned about the high stock prices of some tech and biotech companies.
"Indeed, financials have been a major factor behind the solid start to the Q2 earnings season," Mr. Kavcic said.
"Just over 76 per cent of S&P 500 companies have topped earnings expectations so far, according to Bloomberg's tally, and nearly 70 per cent have beaten the mark on revenues," he added in a report.
"The technology sector has been no slouch either, and broad forward-year S&P 500 earnings expectations are again moving higher. We'll get a broader sector picture of earnings performance in the coming weeks, but so far, generally upbeat results are consistent with our outlook for stronger economic growth in Q2 and beyond, and exactly what equity investors need to see in light of recent valuation expansion."

BlackBerry names COO
BlackBerry Ltd. made a key appointment today, naming Marty Beard as chief operating officer of the Canadian smartphone company.
Mr. Beard, formerly chief executive officer of LiveOps Inc., brings the Waterloo, Ont.-based company "extensive experience in operations, marketing and serving customers," BlackBerry CEO John Chen said in a statement.
The position has been unfilled for months.
Before LiveOps, Mr. Beard headed up a unit of Sybase Inc., and before that was a vice-president at Oracle Corp., The Globe and Mail's Bertrand Marotte reports.
Allergan cuts jobs
Takeover target Allergan Inc. is slashing 1,500 jobs – about 13 per cent of its work force – in a major streamlining effort as it moves to bolster its defences against a hostile takeover bid from Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc.
The Botox-maker also said today it will eliminate an additional 250 vacant jobs as part of a sweeping cost-cutting and efficiency-boosting initiative aimed at annual pre-tax savings of about $475-million (U.S.) in calendar 2015.
The restructuring is part of Allergan chief executive officer David Pyott's strategy to boost earnings, cut spending and demonstrate that the company can create better shareholder value as a standalone rather than in a tie-up with Laval, Que.-based Valeant, The Globe and Mail's Bertrand Marotte reports.
Meanwhile, Valeant said today it has filed a complaint with securities regulators in Quebec and the U.S. over allegedly unfair tactics by Allergan.
Britain launches probe
British authorities have launched a criminal probe into the foreign exchange market in the wake of investigations by regulatory bodies.
The country's Serious Fraud Office said little about the probe today, issuing a one-sentence statement saying simply that "the director of the Serious Fraud Office has today opened a criminal investigation into allegations of fraudulent conduct in the foreign exchange market."
There were no details of the allegations, though regulators have been investigating in Britain, the United States and elsewhere.
Individual banks have also moved on the allegations.
"These allegations have yet to be proved, but if the Serious Fraud Office does find them to be true, it will strike at the heart of business ethics," said Professor Mark Taylor of Britain's Warwick Business School.
"The foreign exchange market is massive and it is by definition global, making it very hard to control and oversee," he added.

A Connecticut town has been selected[1] to provide the Christmas tree for Rockefeller Center.
The town of Shelton will be sending the Christmas tree 70 miles away so that it can stand in New York City. This will be the second time in a six year period that the Rockefeller tree will have come from the town of Shelton. The tree is being guarded by police and is expected to be cut down and sent on Thursday. The tree will be transported to New York City by tractor trailer. Mayor Mark Lauretti says that providing the Rockefeller Christmas tree is a big deal for Shelton. The ceremony to light the Christmas tree is scheduled to take place on December 4. The tree will remain lit until January 7, reports the Associated Press.
The tree selected to go to the Rockefeller Center this year is 76 feet tall, 47 wide and weighs 12 tons. The tree is estimated to be between 75 and 80 years old an is reaching the end of its life cycle, reports the Shelton Herald[2].

The states of New Jersey and California, along with New Brunswick, a Maritime province of Canada, are moving toward legalizing online gambling. Internet gambling is a central concern of location-based amusement operators. However, the next president of the Amusement and Music Operators Association says expanded legalized gambling does not necessarily means less money in the cashboxes of jukeboxes and amusement devices.
By strong margins in both houses, New Jersey's state Legislature on Jan. 13 quietly passed the Intra-State Internet Gambling bill, designated S3167. Gov. Chris Christie has up to 45 days to sign or veto the measure, which would permit Atlantic City casinos to offer Internet versions of their games to 8.7 million state citizens.
In California, Sen. Lou Correa (D-Santa Ana) has proposed a bill (SB-40) that would legalize Internet poker for California's 30 million citizens. Supporters, including the California Online Poker Association and the California Gaming Association, said the move could raise $1 billion in taxes in 10 years. California's Native American casinos are part of the pro-legalization coalition.
New Brunswick's provincial government has commissioned the Atlantic Lottery Corp. to perform a feasibility study for a state-run Internet gambling website. Online gambling has already been launched by one Canadian government agency. According to the Montreal Gazette, Loto-Quebec began offering Internet ticket sales last November.
The next president of AMOA, Donovan Fremin of Delta Music (Thibodaux, LA), said coin machine operators should not panic about the spread of legalized gambling. His own company has operated traditional amusements alongside gaming machines for decades, he said, and has seen growth in both sectors. "They are different markets with different customers," he said.
Fremin will take the reins as AMOA's top officer in March at the close of the 2011 Amusement Expo. Vending Times will publish an interview of Fremin in its February print edition.

Gardenhire may opt to demote slumping Dozier
Gardenhire may opt to demote slumping Dozier
Dozier has been in a slump recently, hitting just .211 with a .241 on-base percentage and .276 slugging percentage over his last 20 games dating back to July 16. The recent funk has the 25-year-old hitting .236/.267/.328 with five homers in 78 games this season.
It's caused Gardenhire to debate whether it's worth sending Dozier back down to Triple-A Rochester to get straightened out.
"It's always talked about," Gardenhire said. "What's talked about is what's right for him? If he continues to struggle offensively, he's not drawing walks, is it right to do? We talked about that at the All-Star break, and believe me, I've wondered myself. I don't have any intention of doing it right now, but that could change tomorrow. It really could."
Gardenhire also wants to see that consistency defensively as well, as Dozier leads American League shortstops with 15 errors.
Dozier, though, said he feels like he's getting more comfortable defensively and is confident his overall game will turn around.
"That's the biggest thing," Dozier said. "I know the hitting is going to turn around and all that stuff. I had a bad showing in the first half with defense. I'm not trying to make excuses. That's all me. But at the same time, I'm starting to feel more comfortable out there. So it's starting to feel a little bit better."

I don't like this phone
This phone does nothing to improve my feelings about Google phones. This is my third Android phone, I had the original Droid, then the Droid Bionic, now this one. The Bionic had to be the worst phone ever made. Cons - it gets really hot in my hand I can sit and watch the battery drain I can't get to a home page on the browser Android is complicated, I can't find the place to set notifications, it seems each app has it ...

Worst phone ever
I ended up hating this phone. It would never connect to data. Verizon's response to my complaints was terrible. I ended up swapping it 2 times but each replacement was just as bad. On the final swap they gave me the Charge, am coming off of the original Droid. I have had the Bionic now since the day they came out, so only 3 or 4 days.

Nice Smartphone
This is my 3rd smart-phone, before this, I have had the MotoQ and the Omnia, this Droid is definitely the best oneand was easy to use out of the box. There was no CD to download drivers and the phone has a nice feel. My only two complaints. The WiFi does not seem reliable and touch sometimes goes awry. I have a home network with several devices attached and none of the others drop me. When the WiFi goes, ...
Dec 7, 2008, 9:43 AMfor the Samsung Omnia i910:
It could be beter

Bell, Adrian honored at Padres' awards dinner
Bell, Adrian honored at Padres' awards dinner
The proceeds from the event benefit the Padres Foundation's Padres Scholars program.
Gonzalez, the three-time All-Star first baseman who was traded to Boston in December, was selected as MVP by the San Diego chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Bell, also honored by the local BBWAA chapter, was also the recipient of the Fireman's Award, recognizing the club's top relief pitcher.
Outfielder Chris Denorfia was selected as the Favorite New Padre of the 2010 season. Catcher Nick Hundley was the recipient of Padres Chairman's Award for his contributions to the community.
The Padres also named their 2010 Minor League award winners on Wednesday during the ceremony.
Catcher Jason Hagerty was named the Offensive Player of the Year, Luis Martinez was selected the Defensive Player of the Year, reliever Brad Brach was named the Pitcher of the Year and Jeudy Valdez was recognized as the Baserunner of the Year.
Included in the Minor League awards were the Denny Galehouse Scout of the Year and Jack Krol Minor League Coach of the Year, given to Mark Conner and Gary Jones, respectively.
Gonzalez was named team MVP for the third consecutive year and the fourth time in his tenure with the Padres (2006, 2008-10). He hit .298 with 31 home runs, 101 RBIs and an on-base percentage of .393.
Gonzalez finished the season ranked among National League leaders in games played (tied, fifth), hits (seventh), home runs (tied, eighth), RBIs (12th), walks (third), on-base percentage (fifth), slugging percentage (ninth) and OPS (seventh, .904).
Bell received his second straight Pitcher of the Year and Fireman's Award after going 6-1 with a career-high 47 saves and a career-low 1.93 ERA. He was named to his second straight NL All-Star team and, following the season, was named Sporting News NL Reliever of the Year and MLB Delivery Man of the Year.
Bell finished the season by converting each of his final 34 save opportunities, the longest streak of his career and the longest by a Padres closer not named Trevor Hoffman. Among the top NL relievers, Bell ranked second in saves and fifth in ERA.
Denorfia, who signed with the Padres as a Minor League free agent following the 2009 season and had his contract selected from Triple-A Portland on May 17, hit .271 with nine home runs and 36 RBIs in 99 games.
Hundley has been giving with his time and resources to San Diego's military community and participated in the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Hundley has also been a strong supporter of the Padres Foundation's Padres Scholars program.
As for the Minor League awards, Hagerty hit .302 with 14 home runs and 74 RBIs playing for Class A Fort Wayne. He was selected in the fifth round of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft out of the University of Miami.
Martinez hit .282 and threw out 37 of 119 would-be basestealers (31 percent) while catching a staff that led the Double-A Texas League in ERA (3.34). Martinez was originally signed by the Padres as a 12th-round selection in the 2007 Draft out of Cumberland University.
Brach converted 41 of 44 save opportunities for Class A Lake Elsinore and had a 2.47 ERA. He led all California League pitchers in saves, games and games finished while limiting opponents to a .207 batting average. He was originally signed as a 42nd-round selection in the 2008 Draft out of Monmouth University.
Valdez, who spent last season with Fort Wayne, stole 34 bases in 48 attempts for the TinCaps. Valdez was originally signed as a non-drafted free agent on Nov. 1, 2005.

We love our soaps, sitcoms, drama and criminal shows don't we. But along with them come some epic soundtracks that we love and yet don't know the names.
Starting with the classic FRIENDS, "I'll be there for you" by The Rembrandts. You love it, I love it, we all love it.
A show famous for introducing classic rock, Supernatural sports an equally mind boggling soundtrack. Carry on, listen to it.
Funny doesn't come close to describing this show, it's hilarious. The Big Bang Theory is crazy and amazing and the soundtrack from Barenaked Ladies does absolute justice to it.
A slapstick comedy show that will have your sides splitting, Scrubs featured some of the best indie artistes and bands. Their theme song itself was brilliantly done.
What's worse than being stuck in the middle? Nothing! Oh well! At least the music helps. Here's Malcolm in Middle's soundtrack.
So, which were some of your favorites? Let us know in the comments.

Without the razzmatazz of the Tate or the Louvre, often quiet, frequently uncrowded, these unsung institutions contain a surprising quantity of world-class art. But what you see in the galleries is only about a fifth of what they actually own.
When you add to works in storage the publicly owned art to be found in unlikely places such hospitals, crematoria and schools, you realise there is a huge treasure-house of art that never gets seen.
Which is why the BBC's plan to make them all viewable online, in partnership with the Public Catalogue Foundation, deserves a warm welcome. The PCF has been beavering away at finding and cataloguing all these works, county by county, since 2004. Thanks to its efforts, we now know where to find a seascape by Noel Coward in Kent, or which paintings are owned by Leeds General Infirmary.
Then, of course, there are the masterpieces tucked away in unpretentious galleries around the country. The Bowes Museum outside Barnard Castle in County Durham, a reproduction French chateau on the slopes of the fells, contains, among many eclectic things, a fine group of Spanish paintings including Goya's Interior of a Prison. Even more surprising is to discover one of the finest large Tintorettos outside Venice in the Shipley Art Gallery, Gateshead.
York, Leeds and Sheffield all have fine art galleries with excellent arrays of British art, plus a sprinkling of fine non-British pictures. The Ferens Art Gallery at Hull harbours a hoard of Old Masters.
Liverpool is now one of the more important art towns in Britain, with the Tate Liverpool on Albert Dock plus the excellent Walker Art Gallery. The latter is one of the best in Britain - with a number of top-quality Old Masters, including works by Poussin, Rembrandt and Rubens. Manchester Art Gallery is strong in Pre-Raphaelites, while
the National Museum in Cardiff contains a wonderful collection of Impressionists, including no fewer than 10 Monets.
It is estimated that there are 300,000 publicly owned works of art in this country -- finally we may have a chance to see them all.

The residential property market in India, particularly in the Tier I cities, has remained sluggish for the past 12 months, with significantly lower sale volumes when compared to the high absorption rates of 2010.
Himadri Mayank, Senior Manager - Research & REIS, Jones Lang LaSalle India
In 1959, Charles E Lindblom, the American political scientist, published a paper in the Public Administration Review entitled The Science of 'Muddling Through'. In this, he contrasted what he called the 'root method' of decision-making with the 'branch approach'.
The root method involves comprehensive evaluation of options in the light of defined objectives, whereas the branch method involves building up, step-by-step and by small degrees, from the current situation. Prof Lindblom claimed that the root method was, in fact, not usable for complex policy questions. His verdict was that the practical individual must follow the branch approach � applying the science of muddling through.
The residential property market in India, particularly in the Tier I cities, has remained sluggish for the past 12 months, with significantly lower sale volumes when compared to the high absorption rates of 2010. Home loan interest rates now seem to be at their cyclical highs (but should soon decline) and unforeseen tax levies have come at a time when the industry is facing its moment of reckoning.
In these uncertain times, the question arises whether strategic decision-making for residential property developers to improve sales should follow the root method � a comprehensive evaluation of options, or the branch approach � a process of muddling through. In a multiple stakeholder environment with several large uncertainty input parameters, the branch approach seems to be the instrument of choice.
In adverse market conditions, developers want to ascertain facts on some key issues. They consider whether they should:
- Lower prices in on-going projects
- Proceed with construction
- Launch new projects at lower prices
- Sell non-performing assets such as land
The �Logic� Of Residential Property Pricing
While others require comprehensive evaluation, determining residential property prices usually entails a trial-and-error approach. During good times, prices are invented. When the going gets tough, prices are discovered (hence the term 'price discovery'). Developers continually assess the market with trial price levels to increase sales in on-going projects. To avoid adversely signalling the market (which could lead to a downward spiral) prices in on-going projects are kept 'sticky-upward'.
In the first phase, negotiations are held behind closed doors to test the market�s appetite. If sales do not recover, discounts are offered up-front on the table. If there is still no perceived recovery, discounts are advertised to increase visitors to the sales office. At this stage, the market is said to have witnessed a correction. This is fundamentally a process of 'muddling through', in which residential prices offered by developers in on-going projects rise like rockets but fall like feathers.
However, during a slowdown, developers try to register sales by launching new projects which are different from on-going projects - and priced much lower than the market average (the price levels being decided by the root method of decision making). Since new projects have a high construction risk, the lower price is somewhat justified and avoids the signalling effect to the market.
Trouble Ahead?
Is the Indian residential property market headed for a hard landing? During the slowdown in 2009, prices in some on-going projects witnessed corrections while a large number of projects maintained stable prices. New launches were made at highly discounted prices; subsequently, a significant rise in absorption was observed as prices were termed 'affordable'. Prices then increased rapidly by as much as 30-40% (mostly in newly-launched projects) across Indian Tier I cities until end-2010, followed by slower growth in 2011.
However, all predictions of a hard landing for the residential property market in 2011 have failed to come true. Despite slow sales, highly leveraged balance sheets, expensive finance in a high interest rate environment and rising input costs, developers have been able to avoid a market-wide crash. They have been able to generate sufficient cash flow through the gradual process of price discovery, and several factors are in their favour in the near term.
> Over 60% of residential launches in the top seven cities (mostly in cities other than NCR and Mumbai) are priced in the range of Rs. 2000�4000 per sq ft, which meets the demand of middle-income buyers
> The RBI has given sufficient indications of probable cuts in key rates during 2H12, which will improve affordability for home buyers and provide lower interest costs for developers
> Prevailing absorption rates at nearly 10-12% translate into an average absorption period of 8-10 quarters for a residential project. This implies that at average prices, any average residential project should be sold out before construction is completed
> New project launches, slow in Mumbai and NCR during 1H11 due to approval and land acquisition issues, have started to pick up and should improve cash flows for developers with land banks during 2012
> With rising input costs, developers do not want to sell below a threshold which does not justify their minimum replacement returns
This leaves home buyers with a small window of opportunity � the next six months, when home prices should witness marginal appreciation. After six months, a second wave of high appreciation is predicted. Are you geared for it?

ClustrixDB is available in multiple platforms, including an optimized Database Appliance, as Software installed on Commodity Hardware, and in AWS.
For many of the reasons described in the platform recommendation, the appliance is a much better solution than choosing your own commodity hardware. The main advantages are as follows:
- The NVRAM card guarantees full durability without any loss of performance.
- The NVRAM is also used to coalesce writes to the SSD to optimize performance and SSD durability by minimizing SSD write amplification. We have customers with very high traffic for over 3 to 4 years which are still running their original SSDs.
- The BOM and firmware in the appliance is controlled. Clustrix can provide spares over the lifetime of the product and guarantee to always work in your deployment. If a manufacturer makes a firmware change, Clustrix will test for compatibility or reprogram the part with matching firmware until the new firmware revision is validated.
- Since the BOM is controlled, Clustrix works with the manufacturers to monitor the product roadmap and develops plans due to changes in the product life cycle and product roadmap.
- The Appliance has a guaranteed supply chain. Clustrix works with suppliers to ensure that we can build the appliance regardless of industry events and shortages.
- The appliance is used in our QA testbed and is tested on every release.
- Appliance platform validation includes thermal testing over the specified environmental range of the product, Regulatory (EMI, EMC, power transient, etc.) and Safety testing/approvals.
The following table highlights some of benefits of the Clustrix Appliance:

After telling Tennessee parents that they couldn't legally call their infant son Messiah last month, Judge Lu Ann Ballew's ruling was overturned on Wednesday.
When parents of 8-month-old Messiah Deshawn Martin went to court in August to argue over what the child's last name should be, they were in for a surprise when Ballew decided the baby's first name should be changed, too. "The word 'Messiah' is a title, and it's a title that has only been earned by one person--and that one person is Jesus Christ," Ballew said.
The judge further explained her decision saying that the name could cause a lot of trouble for the child growing up. "It could put him at odds with a lot of people and at this point he has had no choice in what his name is," Ballew said. Ballew decided that Messiah's name should be changed on his birth certificate to Martin DeShawn McCullough, a combination of both of the parents' names.
Jaleesa Martin and Jawaan McCullough, Messiah's parents, were less than thrilled with the judge's decision. "I should be able to name my child what I want to name him, not someone else," Martin said after the ruling last month. The Tennessee mom defended Messiah's name, saying she chose the name because it goes well with the names of her other two kids, Micah and Mason.
The news of the judge's order eventually reached the ACLU. "Parents, not government, have the right to give a child a name," Hedy Weinberg, executive director of the Tennessee ACLU, said. "While the judge certainly has a right to her religious faith, she cannot impose that faith on people who come to her courtroom. The promotion of religious beliefs from the bench challenges our belief in due process in the legal system."
This is not ok. Constitution? What constitution? Ugh. RT @lanisia: Watch out babies named Jesus: you are next. http://t.co/BfpCQ9Zn3y
— Betsy Turner (@BetsyTurner) August 12, 2013
Wow...major fail here judge. Apparently you forgot your Constitution when you became a judge. http://t.co/YehapjG7GY
— Konwakeri Kenra:ken (@Razn_Cain) August 12, 2013
Chancellor Telford Forgety agreed that the child's name shouldn't have been changed from Messiah and overturned Ballew's ruling after the family filed an appeal. Martin said that she was happy the case was over with after the ruling. "I was ready to get it over with...I was kind of nervous," Martin said.
The government does have some rules and restrictions in place regarding baby names. For example, obscenities or a combination of letters and numbers, such as "R2D2," aren't allowed. Otherwise, titles such as Messiah or Master are fair game.
Was the decision to overturn the ruling on Messiah's name right, or are there certain names that should be off-limits? Add your comments below.

.- On the 16th anniversary of the murder of Cardinal Juan Jesus Posadas Ocampo of Guadalajara, which took place on May 24, 1993, the deceased prelate's successor, Cardinal Juan Sandoval Iniguez, called for the truth to be made known about the event. "We must not cease in our determination that the truth be told" about this case, he said.
In an extensive report on the case published by the Archdiocese of Guadalajara's weekly, "Seminario," Cardinal Sandoval said his work as the slain cardinal's successor and his efforts to see justice served in the case have not been easy, and that he has not felt the support of the State of Jalisco.
"It has been difficult because I have faced a persecution, sometimes openly, sometimes underhandedly, from those who were involved in the crime," the cardinal said, adding that society in the State of Jalisco has been "silent" about the case as well. "Some people speak out to the media, but in public they act like nothing happened," he said.
Regarding the legal situation of the Posadas case, Cardinal Sandoval said it involves he and his legal team doing all the work to find the truth, "because the government has no interest in resolving it, I don't know if that's because they don't want to have any problems, if there are political interests or what."
The cardinal's report notes that "sixteen years after the murder of Posadas, the case remains open, and hope remains that it can be resolved if federal authorities subpoena key figures in the case who can untangle the web of lies and complicity."
The report points to Alberto Gallardo Robles, currently imprisoned in the U.S., and former president Carlos Salinas as key figures in the case. Fernando Guzman, the secretary general of the State of Jalisco and one of the lawyers on the case, said the testimony of Salinas is important because "he was the person who was most informed at the time, and he could provide essential elements to clear up the case."
Cardinal Posadas Ocampo was murdered in 1993 at the Guadalajara Airport when gunmen, armed with automatic weapons, attacked him in his car. The case has been reopened several times, however no one has been imprisoned.
