1964 – Motown's Marvelettes made a very bad decision when they passed on a song they had been given to record titled 'Where Did Our Love Go'. They thought it was too childish, so it was passed on to The Supremes who made it their first of 5 consecutive #1 hits. After rejecting the song, The Marvelettes only had one final top 10 hit 'Don't Mess With Bill' in 1966.
1968 – Ringo Starr quit The Beatles when the group's bickering and fighting during The While Album sessions became unbearable for him. During Ringo's absence Paul played bass and John played bass on 'Back In The USSR' before Ringo returned on September 3. Unbelievable as it sounds, word never leaked at the time of his departure.
1969 – The Beatles met at John Lennon's Tittenhurst Park home in England for what would be their final ever photo session. Three pictures from the shoot were used for the 'Hey Jude' compilation, released on February 26, 1970.
1970 – Bread topped the Billboard Hot 100 with their only chart topping hit 'Make It With You'. It became the groups most covered song with recordings by The Supremes, Aretha Franklin, Earth Wind and Fire, and Dusty Springfield, among others.
1970 – Though they never had a #1 single, Creedence Clearwater Revival began a 9 week run atop the Billboard Album Chart with 'Cosmo's Factory', named after their rehearsal studio in Berkley.
2004 – Al Dvorin, the announcer who coined the phrase 'Elvis has left the building', died in a car crash on his way home from an Elvis convention in California. Al was bitter toward the multi million dollar Elvis Presley Enterprises controlled by 'the colonel': he was never paid any money for Elvis recordings which contained his announcement that closed all Elvis concerts. In the early 70's (exact date unknown) he was asked by Elvis' manager Tom Parker to inform fans at a concert that Elvis would be coming back, at which point Al walked to the center microphone and announced 'Ladies and gentlemen Elvis has left the building. Thank you and goodnight.' Al Dvorin left the building at age 81.
1962 – The Beatles first television appearance was filmed by Manchester based Granada TV for broadcast on October 17, 1962. The occasion was a lunchtime session at The cavern Club in Liverpool. Ringo had replaced Pete best as the group's drummer just a few days earlier and made his first appearance with the group on August 18.
Here's that historic film footage of The Beatles. listen carefully at the end and you can hear someone in the audience yell 'We want Pete!".

Kia Joorabchian: Carlito is his cash cow
Surprise. Surprise. It is Carlos Tevez, threatening to leave Man City after submitting a transfer request. The ostensible reason is he is homesick and separated from his children who live in Argentina. Which means that he is leaving to play for Boca or Huracan. No, wrong. He is threatened to go to Real and have his family join him there. See that makes so much sense.
What else makes sense? Oh, yes. He is Kia Joorabchian's rented mule and the January transfer window is coming up. Joorabchian starts it off by saying how Tevez is unhappy with "certain figures" within the City establishment and wants to leave.
A good guess are the "certain figures" control the club's exchequer and refused the pay raise.
Tevez feels he is indispensable to the club and so far he has been proved right. He is counting on City's desperation to change the status quo as well as its bottomless pockets. But as part of the club's pushback, Roberto Mancini benched him against West Ham and their win proved that there is an afterlife. The more that happens, the less leverage Tevez possesses. The club is now playing hardball with their talisman.
His actions might have the unintended consequence of a more tightfisted approach to transfer spending. City will have to do it at some point with fair play rules kicking in the next two years. Abramovich's focus on debt reduction at Chelsea seems to have put the freeze on similar such shenanigans from John Terry, Frank Lampard, and Ashley Cole.

John McDonough on the Move: Blackhawks Hire a Cub in ChicagoNovember 20, 2007
The Chicago Blackhawks went outside the hockey world—who knew there was such a place?—to hire their new president.
Ironically, though, they didn't have to look too far to find him.
In fact, John McDonough will only have to brave the six-mile drive from Wrigley Field to the United Center to assume his new post.
Before joining the Blackhawks, McDonough resigned as president of the Chicago Cubs amidst uncertainty concerning the team's ownership. McDonough had been with the Cubs for 24 years.
Who says placing ads in the local newspaper can't pay off?
McDonough's move doesn't come entirely as a surprise. The Blackhawks' front office has been in flux since the death of owner William Wirtz. Given the turmoil, it makes sense to bring in a leading man who's already well-known in the Chicago area.
The Cubs have long been a sentimental favorite in the Windy City. The Blackhawks are hoping McDonough can bring his PR savvy to the rink.
McDonough isn't the first hockey executive to make the transition from another sport. His most notable fellow traveler is NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, formerly the right-hand man of NBA commish David Stern.

O2 UK has overhauled its Approved Partner Programme for 2011 with partners getting new benefits for the year ahead.
It comes as 75 O2 Approved Partners agreed to continue to commit 80% of their business to Telefónica O2 UK via their chosen Centre of Excellence distributor.
The new O2 Approved programme has been unveiled to partners at events across the UK.
It followed a 'fantastic' performance last year which saw a tenfold increase in Joined Up Communication connections and a doubling of sales for BlackBerry and iPhone in 2010. New benefits that partners will receive this year include a quarterly stockist incentive to help drive increased Telefónica O2 UK business and specific support and funding for BlackBerry.O2 UK head of partners Maggie Kennedy said: "These partners have demonstrated their commitment to building customer trust and loyalty while providing superb base management. But more than that they are delivering single digit annualised churn and driving valuable growth and in return get a number of benefits to help them further grow both our businesses. All our partners support our revenue share model as the best method to enable a sustainable business based on typical voice and data. The Approved programme is open to all stockists but sets demanding qualifying criteria including excellent customer service and a true focus on delivering Joined Up Communication solutions within the business market."HSC MD Bob Sweetlove said: 'Telefónica O2 UK are currently working closer with the channel than any operator does or ever has, which is refreshing to be part of. I'm confident that the way we have constructed the Approved scheme ensures that all parties from network to the stockist.'Andy Tow, Avenir Telecom MD added: 'This initiative will see us working even closer this year with Telefónica O2 UK and with our top-performing b2b dealers. Our outstanding performance in 2010 was a fantastic achievement and we're looking to beating it in 2011. The O2 Approved Partner Programme offers our dealers a huge advantage and gives them the platform they need to focus on succeeding in both customer retention and sales in mobile, fixed line and converged solutions.'Dave McGinn, MD of Daisy Distribution said: 'Our ambition is clear, to have the most successful and contributory O2 Approved programme within channel and to see our partners grow and evolve as we grow and evolve Daisy Distribution. We fully support O2 in the re-aunch of this initiative and feel that we have something unique to offer our partners to ensure they benefit from their participation.'

The man fired three blanks after approaching the rear entrance of the building in Ankara, Hurriyet Daily News reported.
A Cabinet meeting headed by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was in session at the time.
Security forces immediately arrested the man.

He chose a wine for her wedding that was from a winery that he and his ex wife toured when she was pregnant with this daughter. The winery owner came out and made a big deal over her beauty and glowing quality with her pregnancy. My husband wanted to tell this story and wax poetic over it. I told him that is a beautiful and romantic memory of a story to tell to everyone IF HE WAS STILL MARRIED TO HER. Their marriage quickly became unhappy after the children and she ended the marriage with an affair and leaving for this other man when their kids were adults. I told him this toast would make me feel like chopped liver while also making the guests at the wedding think about the fact that he sounds like he's still in love with her while she was not with him and left him.
I know most of you will think I'm selfish for thinking of my own feelings. But he did change his mind when we spoke and will not be giving this speech. I spoke with his other adult daughter about it and she thought it was a nice memory but we agreed it would be a nicer story coming from her mom to her daughter. So the mom will tell the marrying daughter the same story at the wedding shower with all girls toasting with the same wine. Do you think it was off base for me to tell my husband I was uncomfortable with the content of the wedding toast?

EUR/USD Fundamental analysis
The pair EUR/USD is in the flat. The 10-year German and U.S. bonds yields cheered bears to enter the market. At the moment the price reached the level 1.3350, but then there was a technical rebound and profit taking on short positions. The traders ignored the positive U.S. trade balance for June.
The UK industrial production release disappointed investors. The index rose by 0.3% in June that is the same amount than the forecast was. Some Wall Street economists were quick to associate it with a strong pound consolidation in the first month of summer, as well as the increase of problems with the main trading partner of the United Kingdom - the Eurozone. In this regard, the pair came under a wave of sales and only after the European trading session closure managed to recover some lost ground.
The bears' triumph on the world's leading stock market is still putting pressure on the pair USD/JPY. The sell-off caused a demand for a safe haven in the face of the Japanese yen. Even a positive trade balance release in the U.S. in June was unable to provide support for the bulls on Wednesday. In the light of this, the dollar/yen showed a decline of 0.5%.

Historians are generally agreed that if the Constitution had been put before the electorate for an up-and-down vote—a plebescite, in effect—it would not have been ratified. This essay considers how three large groups—African Americans, artisans, and small farmers—viewed the Constitution, and examines why these groups had deep reservations about its ability to steer the nation forward without compromising the founding principles of the American Revolution.

Nov. 24 (UPI) -- There's no way two young celebrities can enjoy dinner together without prompting feverous speculation about their romantic relationship. But both Harry Styles and Kendell Jenner are playing coy about their Los Angeles dinner date last week.
"We just went out to dinner so no … I guess," Styles, 19, said when Piers Morgan asked him whether the two were dating. "I don't know," he added.
Jenner, 18, was less ambivalent about the nature of their alleged date.
"There's no story," she told Giuliana Rancic. "We're friends, he's cool."
"You go out with one person and you're automatically dating," she said of media scrutiny.
The young boy-bander and reality star met up for dinner at Craig's in West Hollywood last Wednesday and left together in a black Range Rover.

On Friday, the highly controversial Smart Choice food labeling program announced it will voluntarily "postpone active operations" three days after the FDA unveiled its plans to review any health claims displayed on the front of food packaging. While this means there will temporarily be no new processed junk food added to the list of "smart choices," many existing products will continue to boast the deceptive label.
That's weird. Why would a label that claims to be "coalition-based" run for the hills upon the FDA's announcement that it will begin to vet nutritional claims found on the front of food packaging? If "scientists, academicians, nutrition educators, public health organizations, food manufacturers, retailers and government observers came together to create a robust system designed" for the consumer, if they were truly "transparent," and if their standards were sufficiently "comprehensive" to apply to the "diet and health needs of the entire U.S. population," then there should be no cause for concern.
Of course, the truth is their guiding principles are as fictitious as the labels health claims. What does this say about the Smart Choice standards? They obviously know it. It's clear that Smart Choice had nothing to do with the dietary or health interests of consumers but instead was a marketing gimmick at best.
How quickly the tides can turn. PepsiCo has severed ties with Smart Choice, and Kellogg's, the manufacturer of Froot Loops (the famed and ironic poster child of the campaign), stated that they would be phasing out Smart Choice endorsements. Even the FDA commissioner, Margaret Hamburg, commented that some foods deemed "smart choices" by the industry backed labeling initiative were in fact nearly "50 percent sugar."
There is another angle to take on this, however. There is a lot of money to be made in the food labeling industry, particularly when it comes to endorsing qualities that render a product more competitive in the marketplace, such as nutritional value or how sustainably a product was produced.
Look at the "Organic" seal. The USDA performed a hostile takeover of organic certification several years ago when they realized just how big the organic food industry had become. The USDA's purported intention was to create a standard and consistent definition of what it means for a product to be organic. But really all they did was make the organic label more expensive for producers (giving large companies a significant advantage), and less meaningful for consumers by watering down the standards.
The FDA is supposedly devising their own health labeling system. Let's hope it doesn't go the direction of the USDA's Organic certification.

While the general tendency in thrash metal these days has been with an eye to the past, Savage Messiah has been bucking the trend of late, pushing a more modern sound that is well in line with the latest Death Angel, Testament, Megadeth and Heathen releases. The slightly more melodic feel is a bit of a departure from the principle sound that has been brewing in the Americas of late, but it is right up the alley of older bands that are still putting out material. Heavier riffs, thicker production, and a generally more mechanical feel is pretty well the order of the day for this outfit, and "Insurrection Rising" proves to be a veritable android in that capacity.
Thankfully, one edge that Dave Silver possesses over many of the older guard vocalists is a voice that is youthful and agile enough to avoid sounding like a washed up hardcore singer. The level of nimble agility displayed on "He Who Laughs Last" alone rivals the likes of John Greely and Chuck Billy, touting an impressive array of shouts, bellows and shrieks that cover most of the general spectrum for this style. In other words, he manages to avoid falling into the Jeff Waters trap of sounding overly flat and mechanical, which is to the band's benefit as this album is possessed of a more cybernetic feel in line with more sci-fi oriented concepts.
The album begins on a high note with the high octane cruiser of a title song "Insurrection Rising", which slays with the intensity of "Human Insecticide" but with a good amount of control and nuance as well. It's definitely not your daddy's Motörhead and bursts through an impressive array of technical solos and battering riffs before all is said and done. "Enemy Image (Dehumanizer)" and "The Serpent Tongue Of Divinity" take a largely similar route, cooking at full speed and taking a more intense approach to convincing the listener to bang his head clear off his shoulders (the latter actually marching out some guttural death barks to complement the Mustaine inspired mutterings).
Not one to be tied down to speeding all the time, there's a fair share of slower delicacies on here that somewhat resemble the groovier, early 90s character of albums such as "Countdown To Extinction" and "The Ritual". The first culprit in this department is "In Absence Of Liberty", which sort of rides a mid-paced gallop for much of its duration and features a somewhat more subdued set of lead guitar lines and attitude drenched yells out of Silver. "Vigil Of The Navigator" takes it a step further and almost finds itself in later 90s Testament territory behind a chunky, layered set of riffs that sort of coast along and leave a lot of exposure for the vocals, which do take on a bit of a John Bush meets Layne Staley character.
For the most part, this manages to be yet another solid exercise in modern thrashing, but it doesn't quite have the same level of bite that "Spitting Venom" did, and it also suffers a bit for the lack of brevity. One of this band's strengths is their ability to get their point across shortly, and some of these songs hold on just a tad bit longer than they need to, particularly in the cases of the slower ones. Pretty much anyone who was still hanging on to the good old days by the time 1992 rolled around will remember the transition period that thrash metal went through, and there's a good bit of that going on here, but it's still well within the acceptable paradigm for those looking to mosh like no tomorrow. It's not quite "Among The Living", but it's definitely a respectable album from a young, up and coming outfit.
Before getting to the actual music, I have a story to tell... gather round. One cold night in February, I went to an Overkill concert, just like every metalhead who likes thrash. And, as always, a couple of bands played as support. And not only did Overkill wreck everything (pun intended), there was also a British band called Savage Messiah opening for them, and it was right up my alley, so the first thing I did was to sink my claws into their album...
… and I thank the appropriate deity that made me do it. "Insurrectiong Rising" is more than a solid melodic thrash record. For a fairly young band, it's very mature and packed full of ideas – and, for the most part, very good ones. When I first heard Savage Messiah, two names jumped into my mind immediately – Megadeth and Testament. One of the two reasons is that Savage Messiah do incorporate a lot of melody into their thrashing, the other one being the vocals. Dave Silver's phrasing is quite similar to Chuck Billy and you can hear bits of Mustaine's singing style in his voice. That's not really a bad thing, far from that, Silver manages to sound impeccable in low-to-mid-range and even in the higher registers, he can let loose a furious wail.
The melodic parts and solos are influenced by the heavy metal classics and Savage Messiah clearly did their homework. However, don't expect any crazy, unplayable shredding. The record is based on focused songwriting, and the solos are no exception - the leads are kept, most of the time, short and to the point.
In fact, the songwriting is what really shines here. The variety and ideas on here are wonderful. Want some fast-paced ragers? Two of them. An epic song? Check - just listen to "In Absence Of Liberty". Mid-tempo headbanger? Sure. Out of the nine songs on here, it's hard to pick the highlights. I, personally, would point at two specific tracks. The song that represents Savage Messiah best, in my opinion, is "The Serpent Tongue Of Divinity". Starting off with some nice melodic leads and a memorable verse riff, it goes through a variety of tempos, carried mostly by slightly shrieky vocals which shine during a catchy bridge. The other incredible blast of genius is "He Who Laughs Last" - one of the more melodic tracks, with an awesome beginning, when a jaw-droppingly awesome melody shifts into a nice main riff. Oh, and there is a nice melody under the chorus that is pure "Youthanasia", this track definitely has the best lead guitar off the whole album.
The performance is very tight. The stand-out element of Savage Messiah are the vocals and guitars, but a nod also goes to the drummer. He doesn't try to steal the show, he gives the songs what they need and manages to end up sounding creative and technical. The bass is somewhere out there, though I have trouble finding it in the mix, especially with other instruments that are far more exciting.
The quality of "Insurrection Rising" rises and falls with the songwriting. That is the simple reason why my rating isn't higher. "Corruption X" is just a boring, plodding track. "Vigil of the Navigator" is so-so, midpaced and never really going anywhere. Apart from those two, though, this is a strong record with good lasting value. The closest comparison to draw would possibly be Testament's "The New Order" or some Flotsam and Jetsam - it is carried by the same musical elements (vocals, song structure and melody) as the thrash parts aren't not quite as over-the-top.
Recommended? Sure. Especially those who like a bit of structure, melody and thought-out songwriting to go with the thrashing.

Two men caught in the act of selling stolen metal
NIAGARA FALLS – Niagara Falls police arrested two men accused of stealing scrap metal from a Fairfield Drive electrical shop on Wednesday.
Vincent J. Lewis, 30, of South Avenue and Timothy J. Ellison Jr., 29, of Garden Avenue, were stopped just before noon by police at Metalico Metals metal recycling, on Maple Avenue in Niagara Falls, with the reportedly stolen metal, valued at $500. Both men were charged with fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, third-degree criminal trespassing and petit larceny.
The owner of MGM Electrical said the two men were seen leaving the scene with the scrap metal on the roof of a silver 2003 Mercury Sable and he called police after he located the suspected vehicle at Metallico. The suspects were found with the scrap metal on the roof and were trying to cash it in, according to police.

5 Years : From Nov 2012 to Nov 2017
(Adds detail and U.K. authorities' comments throughout.)
By Alexis Flynn
LONDON--British regulators are looking into allegations that some of the country's biggest utilities have manipulated the U.K. physical natural gas markets, the U.K. Financial Services Authority and energy watchdog Ofgem said Monday.
The allegations come at a time of increased scrutiny by authorities of how energy markets are regulated and of the relationship between physical commodities markets and associated derivatives.
"We can confirm that we have received information in relation to the physical gas market," the FSA said. "We take market misconduct seriously and will be analysing the material."
Energy Secretary Edward Davey said, "I am extremely concerned about these allegations and will be keeping in close touch with the regulators while they get to the bottom of this."
Mr. Davey will make a statement about the matter on Tuesday afternoon in the House of Commons, the Department of Energy and Climate Change said in a statement.
Separately, the Office of the Gas and Electricity Markets, or Ofgem, said it has "received information relating to trading in the gas market and is looking into the issue."
The energy regulator said it had limited powers in this area, but would "consider carefully any evidence of market abuse brought to our attention as well as scope for action under all our other powers."
The U.K. regulators' examination of the allegations follows a separate incident in the U.S., where the federal energy-market regulator sought a record $435 million in penalties in late October for Barclays PLC's (BCS) alleged manipulation of western U.S. electricity markets from 2006 to 2008. The U.K. bank has said it is investigating the matter itself and cooperating with authorities there.
Energy price-reporting firms have also come under recent scrutiny as the Group of 20 major economies commissioned a report into how to supervise the largely opaque and unregulated trade in oil cargoes. The report laid out a set of principles to prevent price manipulation in the oil market, but did little to go beyond the main agencies' already-established voluntary practices.
The Guardian newspaper reported Monday that the market-abuse concerns were initially raised by a former City of London trader who worked as a price reporter at ICIS Heren for nine months.
An attempt by e-mail to reach the man named in the Guardian article as the whistleblower wasn't immediately answered Monday night.
A London-based ICIS Heren editor also couldn't immediately be reached for comment Monday night.
The U.K. Department of Energy and Climate Change, or DECC, said its officials and Mr. Davey have been in close touch with the FSA and Ofgem since they became aware of the matter on Friday.
DECC said it is working to give Ofgem more powers to tackle abuses, with new powers to be in place by the spring. "If further steps need to be taken, then that is what we will do," DECC said.

This patent application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/537,143, filed Mar. 29, 2000 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,754,709, entitled "Application Programming Interface and Generalized Network Address Translator for Intelligent Transparent Application Gateway Processes". The entire teachings and disclosure of this patent application are hereby incorporated in their entireties by reference thereto.
This invention relates generally to network address translation and proxy application control of network communication and, more particularly, relates to the combination of network address translation and proxy application functionality into a transparent application gateway process.
As the number of computers that needed or wanted to be connected to the Internet continued to grow, it soon became obvious that this number could not be accommodated by the number of available IP addresses, known as dotted-quads. In response to this address depletion problem, a method as illustrated in
This gateway computer 66 runs a program called a network address translator (NAT) that has both a private IP address 62 and a public IP address 68. As computers on the private network attempt to establish sessions with a server on a public network (or another private network), the NAT changes the source address 70 of the message packets 72 from the private address of the client computer to its public IP address. In this way, the private IP address is not communicated on the public network. The messages all appear to have come from the public IP address of the NAT machine. The NAT maintains a mapping 74 of the translation from the private to the public IP address so that when messages are received from the public network in response as illustrated by line 76, the NAT can forward them to the proper client machine. This operation of the NAT is completely transparent to the client computers on the private network, i.e. they each believe that they are communicating directly with the public servers.
While the NAT has greatly alleviated the address depletion problem, especially for home and small business networks, its translation of source addresses is fixed within its programming. That is, the traditional NAT does not allow any application control of the address translations that it performs. Additionally, since the address translation is performed on the message packets at such a low level within the kernel 84, the NAT can add almost no value, other than providing the raw source address translation. The NAT cannot even provide any destination address translations, and does not fully support applications that either assume client and server addresses are both public and therefore equally accessible, or require that servers also initiate network sessions to clients. If added value is desired, such as centralized virus scanning, site blocking (parental-control filtering), white listing, caching (to speed up response-time), data-transformation (e.g. dithering of images to match screen size), etc., a proxy application must be used instead.
Traditional proxies, as illustrated in
When a proxy application 98 is used, all communications are sent to the proxy in the user mode 86 (see
Recognizing that the inability of various applications to utilize a proxy system precludes the adding of value to the network sessions using these applications, various software vendors have introduced transparent proxies. Transparent proxies operate like a traditional proxy in that they provide value to the network connection, and like a traditional NAT in that the network client need not specifically address them. The term transparent refers to the fact that the network client is unaware that its communication is being provided up to the proxy application. The client thinks that its communication is going directly to the network server, in much the same way as it does when a traditional NAT is used. However, the communication is actually redirected to the proxy application before being sent to the public network as illustrated
As may be seen from this
The instant invention overcomes these and other problems by providing an application programming interface for intelligent transparent application gateway processes. Specifically, the inventive concepts of the instant invention relate to an intelligent transparent proxy that utilizes an application programming interface for translation of transport-layer sessions and an application programming interface for port-reservation routines to provide proxy services without requiring that client applications be notified of the proxy at all. More particularly, the inventive concepts of the instant invention relate to a generalized network address translator and associated application programming interface (API) that allow both source and destination address translations to be made. The API allows control of the NAT by the proxy thereby providing the benefits of both a proxy server and a network address translator (NAT) while minimizing the transmission delays normally associated with traditional and transparent proxies.
With the intelligent transparent proxy of the instant invention, client applications do not know that they are communicating through a proxy, and therefore need not be configured to do so. This is accomplished by the instant invention by allowing the proxy to dynamically command a generalized NAT to effect both source and destination address translations to, essentially, reroute data flow up through the proxy without the client knowing. The address changes are mapped in the gNAT, and result in apparent sessions between different clients and servers. As the proxy identifies data transfers that need not be processed by the proxy, the proxy commands a dynamic address translation at the transport layer. This bypasses the necessity of transferring the data up to the proxy, thereby greatly increasing the performance of the system.
As an example of the operation of the intelligent transparent gateway of the instant invention, assume that a client application wanted to establish a session from itself to a server on a public network. The message would hit the translation mapping of the gNAT, and be converted to a message from client to the transparent gateway. The transparent gateway would pass the message up to the proxy for servicing. The proxy is able to then service the message itself, deny transmission of the message, pass the message on without modification, etc. If the message is forwarded to the server, it appears to have originated from the gateway. The translation mapping is recorded so that any return messages may be forwarded to the client application, if the proxy determines that it is appropriate to do so. This forwarding may require servicing by the proxy or may be passed without servicing, dependent only on the proxy commanded translation in the gNAT. This control provided to the proxy is unknown in prior systems.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will be made apparent from the following detailed description of illustrative embodiments that proceeds with reference to the accompanying figures.
While the appended claims set forth the features of the present invention with particularity, the invention, together with its objects and advantages, may be best understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:
Turning to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements, the invention is illustrated as being implemented in a suitable computing environment. Although not required, the invention will be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, being executed by a personal computer. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention may be practiced with other computer system configurations, including hand-held devices, multi-processor systems, microprocessor based or programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, and the like. The invention may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.
With reference to
The hard disk drive 27, magnetic disk drive 28, and optical disk drive 30 are connected to the system bus 23 by a hard disk drive interface 32, a magnetic disk drive interface 33, and an optical disk drive interface 34, respectively. The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide nonvolatile storage of computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules and other data for the personal computer 20. Although the exemplary environment described herein employs a hard disk, a removable magnetic disk 29, and a removable optical disk 31, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other types of computer readable media which can store data that is accessible by a computer, such as magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, digital video disks, Bernoulli cartridges, random access memories, read only memories, and the like may also be used in the exemplary operating environment.
A number of program modules may be stored on the hard disk, magnetic disk 29, optical disk 31, ROM 24 or RAM 25, including an operating system 35, one or more applications programs 36, other program modules 37, and program data 38. A user may enter commands and information into the personal computer 20 through input devices such as a keyboard 40 and a pointing device 42. Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 21 through a serial port interface 46 that is coupled to the system bus, but may be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, game port or a universal serial bus (USB). A monitor 47 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 23 via an interface, such as a video adapter 48. In addition to the monitor, personal computers typically include other peripheral output devices, not shown, such as speakers and printers.
The personal computer 20 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 49. The remote computer 49 may be another personal computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to the personal computer 20, although only a memory storage device 50 has been illustrated in
When used in a LAN networking environment, the personal computer 20 is connected to the local network 51 through a network interface or adapter 53. When used in a WAN networking environment, the person computer 20 typically includes a modem 54 or other means for establishing communications over the WAN 52. The modem 54, which may be internal or external, is connected to the system bus 23 via the serial port interface 46. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the personal computer 20, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device. It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are exemplary and other means of establishing a communications link between the computers may be used.
In the description that follows, the invention will be described with reference to acts and symbolic representations of operations that are performed by one or more computer, unless indicated otherwise. As such, it will be understood that such acts and operations, which are at times referred to as being computer-executed, include the manipulation by the processing unit of the computer of electrical signals representing data in a structured form. This manipulation transforms the data or maintains it at locations in the memory system of the computer, which reconfigures or otherwise alters the operation of the computer in a manner well understood by those skilled in the art. The data structures where data is maintained are physical locations of the memory that have particular properties defined by the format of the data. However, while the invention is being described in the foregoing context, it is not meant to be limiting as those of skill in the art will appreciate that various of the acts and operation described hereinafter may also be implemented in hardware.
In accordance with the invention, generalized network address translation functionality that allows the development of the intelligent transparent proxy is provided to the transparent proxy application 104 by the architecture illustrated in
By generalizing the operation of network address translation and putting that operation under proxy 104 control, the system of the instant invention allows the proxy 104 to achieve a number of benefits. This functionality may be used to redirect sessions to support migration of services for enhanced availability. This functionality is unique to the system of the instant invention in that the application programming interface 108 allows proxy applications 104 to gain explicit control over the translation performed by the gNAT 106, unlike traditional transparent proxies which do not have any control over the NAT to command dynamic address redirection.
Further, since the traditional transparent proxy transfers information between separate network sessions, it typically suffers performance degradation. As discussed, this is because the network data must be received from the network for one of the proxy's sessions, delivered to the user-mode proxy by the kernel-mode network transport, read by the proxy, written to the proxy's other session, transferred to the kernel-mode driver, and transmitted to the network for the proxy's other session. Instead of taking the above steps to copy data from one network session to another, the application programming interface 108 allows such proxies 104 to instruct the network gateway or generalized NAT (gNAT) 106 to translate one network session into another.
As may be seen from the architectural diagram of
The first of the two API suites provides the dynamic redirect API routines. These routines allow an application process to redirect to itself all sessions for a certain TCP or UDP port number (e.g., redirecting all HTTP sessions to a local socket). These API routines cause the requests from clients to be translated in such a way that they are delivered by the network gateway to the application process, rather than being forwarded through the normal mechanism to the client's intended server.
The second of the two API suites provides the port-reservation API routines. These routines allow an application process to reserve for itself blocks of TCP or UDP port numbers. In the process of acting as a transparent proxy, the proxy may find it necessary to intervene in the establishment of additional network sessions between a client and a server. In order to do so, the process of the instant invention may need to replace port numbers advertised by clients with port numbers valid on the proxy process's host machine. To address this requirement, routines are provided to allow the transparent proxy to reserve TCP and UDP port numbers for its own use, with the assurance that the reserved numbers will not be allocated for use by any other applications.
The kernel-mode translation module 106 performs the functions of a generalized network address translator (gNAT). This module 106 is implemented in a preferred embodiment as a Windows 2000 driver that registers itself as a firewall driver with the Windows 2000 TCP/IP driver 110. Of course, one skilled in the art will readily appreciate that this module may also be adapted to operate in other operating systems without undue experimentation and without departing from the scope and spirit of the instant invention. Therefore, these alternate embodiments are hereby reserved. In its registration, the module 106 supplies an entry-point that is called by the TCP/IP driver 110 upon reception of every incoming packet and before transmission of every outgoing packet. This ensures that all packets will be observed by the kernel-mode translation module 106 before being sent, received, or forwarded.
Each proxy-requested translation is recorded by the kernel-mode translation module 106 as a redirect. Such a redirect consists of a description of the session to be translated, along with a description of the translation to be performed. For example, the description of the translation may state that when a session is detected with source address S and destination address D, translate it so that the source address becomes S′ and the destination address becomes D′. When the module 106 detects any new network session, it determines whether there is a redirect that applies to the session. If the module 106 determines that there is a redirect for this session, the redirect is activated. The network session is automatically translated and a mapping is created to ensure that the same translation is done for all packets in the session. The normal processing is then continued on the session's translated packets, causing them to be delivered locally or forwarded depending on the new source and destination.
The user-mode application programming module 108 is also preferably implemented as a Windows 2000 library that is loaded by the transparent proxy application 104. As with the above, the invention is not so limited to a particular operating system, but is applicable to any operating system which allows network communication. Therefore, the exemplary embodiments described herein are by way of illustration and not by way of limitation. A proxy application 104 calls the library 108 to initialize the kernel-mode translation module 106, and then creates one or more redirects for the network sessions to be translated. To allow the proxy 104 to add value and observe the requested sessions, the initial redirects commanded by the proxy 104 provide redirection of all message packets up to the proxy 104.
Using the API routines provided by the NAT API 108, a process might act as a transparent proxy for HTTP sessions, for example, by starting up, binding to a local socket, and initializing the transparent proxy API library on the network gateway machine. The transparent proxy 104 then retrieves the address of its local socket and invokes the transparent proxy API 108 to create a 'dynamic port-redirect' for TCP port number 80 (which is the HTTP port) using its local socket's address. While this exemplary operation is described for an HTTP port, one skilled in the art will recognize that the dynamic port-redirect may be accomplished for any port number.
The port-redirect command tells the API library 108 to instruct the network gateway that all sessions destined for TCP port number 80 must be directed instead to the transparent proxy's socket. As a client starts an Internet browser, it sends a connection-request to TCP port number 80 of a server on the Internet through the network gateway. The network gateway determines that the client's connection-request matches the transparent proxy's commanded redirect, and it triggers the kernel-mode network address translation module 106.
The kernel-mode translation module 106 changes the destination address of the client's connection-request to be the local address of the transparent proxy's socket, records the change made in a translation mapping, and returns the connection request to the network gateway. The network gateway forwards the client's connection-request, which is now destined for the transparent proxy instead of the Internet server to which the request was originally sent. The transparent proxy 104 receives the client's connection-request and invokes the transparent proxy API 108 to determine the address of the Internet server to which the request was originally sent. The transparent proxy 104 performs processing on the client's request, including optionally initiating a secondary connection on the client's behalf to the original target Internet server or to another server or servers. The transparent proxy 104 then sends responses to the client, which pass through the network gateway and are translated by the kernel-mode translation module 106 so that the client continues to believe that it is communicating with its original target Internet server.
In a preferred embodiment, the library 108 provides routines to perform at least the initializing and shutting down of the library. The initialization ensures that the kernel-mode translation module 106 is loaded and registered in preparation for translating network sessions. The shutting down of the library concludes the proxy's use of the kernel-mode translation module, which may be unloaded if it has no other clients. Further, the library 108 also includes routines for creating a redirect for a network service. This operation supplies information identifying a network service, along with information describing the translation to be done for all clients of the network service. Its protocol, its destination port, its replacement destination IP address, and its replacement destination port identify a network service. The protocol indicates the transport-layer protocol of the network session, which may be either TCP or UDP. The destination port indicates the port number of the network service, e.g. port 80 for the HTTP service. Any client attempting to connect to this port on any Internet server is then redirected to the host given as part of this dynamic redirect.
The replacement destination IP address indicates the IP address of the host to which any matching session should be redirected. The replacement destination port indicates the port number to which any matching session should be redirected on the given host. By replacing the port number rather than retaining the service's original port number, a transparent proxy can be more flexible about which port number can be used for the socket on which it accepts clients's requests. The library also provides retrieving of the original destination for a redirected network session. This operation supplies the original source and destination for a network session which has been redirected by the network gateway, given the post-redirection source and destination for the session. This information is retrieved by the network gateway from the translation mapping maintained by the kernel-mode translation module 106 for each translated session. Finally, the library provides routines to cancel a redirect for a network session. This operation revokes a previous translation-request issued by the proxy 104.
The port-reservation API is implemented as part of the Windows 2000 library 108 that contains the dynamic redirect API routines. The transparent proxy 104 calls the library upon initialization, and then creates one or more port pools that contain port numbers reserved from the network gateway's range of TCP and UDP port numbers. The proxy can then reserve and release port numbers from the created pools. The routines provided by the library include creating and destroying a port reservation, and acquiring and releasing a port number. The creation of a port reservation prepares the network gateway to receive requests for port numbers from the library, and returns a handle to the network application that can be used for requesting port numbers. The destroying of a port reservation destroys a handle supplied by the previous operation, returning all outstanding port numbers to the network gateway. The acquiring of a port number from a reservation requests one or more contiguous port numbers from the network gateway. Finally, the releasing of a port number to a reservation returns one or more previously acquired contiguous port numbers to the network gateway.
The operation of translating network sessions at the transport-layer is illustrated in
Once the proxy 104 has determined that a dynamic redirect is appropriate and such has been commanded of the gNAT 106, it establishes a dynamic redirect mapping 118. All network data that is received from the network for the proper proxy's session (as determined by the gNAT 106 in accordance with its commanded dynamic redirect 118) is automatically translated by the gNAT 106 so that its transport-layer address matches the proxy's other session. This data is then transmitted to the network for the proxy's other session. Graphically, this dynamic redirection at the transport layer is illustrated by line 120. As may be seen from line 120, the communication of the data to the network server no longer requires that the data go through two kernel-user mode translations, i.e. the trip to the proxy 104 is short circuited. Likewise, return data on line 122 may also be dynamically redirected to the client if so commanded by the proxy 104. The approach allows such applications to achieve a considerable improvement in their performance.
This performance improvement becomes vividly apparent if the initial communication on line 112 opens an ftp control session carrying an ftp get file request. Under a traditional transparent proxy scenario, the ftp data channel created to receive the file requested would first be passed from the kernel-mode to the user-mode to the proxy, and then would be passed back down to the kernel-mode to be forwarded to the client. As may well be imagined, this process incurs significant performance degradation, especially if the file is quite large. Under the system of the instant invention, however, the network application 104 may open a data session that does not require any transitions to the user-mode by commanding a dynamic redirection at the transport-layer. Now, as the data is received from the ftp server, the gNAT 106 performs the dynamic redirection in accordance with the intelligent transparent proxy's command. The destination address of the data is simply translated and passed to the client as indicated by line 122. Significant performance improvement is achieved in this way.
The system of the instant invention also allows session payload editing. Certain applications include addressing information within the data streams of their sessions. For instance, many streaming applications use a control session to establish a secondary data session similar to that described above. This poses a problem for a traditional NAT in its primary application, i.e. transparent sharing of a single Internet connection among multiple machines. When running on clients that are sharing a connection, such applications would send private, unreachable addressing information to remote peers, and the latter would be unable to respond to the clients's requests. To solve this problem, the system of the instant invention supports an extensible means of modifying a session's application-layer data in flight, beyond the modifications made to the session's network-layer and transport-layer addressing information. Extensibility is achieved by allowing third-party drivers to inspect the application-layer data in each packet received for a session, and to edit the application data in each packet. These editors register themselves with the gNAT of the instant invention as handlers for a specific TCP/UDP port number, and are henceforth invoked for each message translated in matching sessions.
In operational terms, the dynamic redirection made available by the system of the instant invention is illustrated in
Typical transparent proxies also service the responsive communication from the server S1 as a matter of course. While this is also possible with the intelligent transparent proxy of the instant invention, it may decide to open a fast-path data transfer session and forego transitions to and from the user-mode in the gateway machine. The proxy accomplishes this by commanding a dynamic redirect to be mapped in the gNAT. When the server S1 responds (illustrated by line 137), the message packet is seen by the gNAT, which verifies that it has a proxy commanded redirect for that message, and is redirected at the transport-layer to the client C1 as indicated by line 139. This transmit-proxy, receive-NAT functional operation significantly improves the performance of the system, especially in situations of data streaming, multi-party conferencing, multi-party gaming, etc.
A further dynamic redirection that may be commanded by the intelligent transparent proxy of the instant invention is illustrated in
As described above, the intelligent transparent proxy may use the NAT API 108 (see

Strip President Obama Of His Citizenship?
Apparently, the Iowa GOP has come up with a plan to strip the President of his citizenship. Never in history has a President been subjected to so much lack of disrespect, constant threats of violence, racial slurs, uncooperation from his own party, usurping of authority, and constant plots to end his Presidency. Is it because he is black? What is wrong with those folks on the right? Are they now so desperate that they've now come up with a plot to try and strip him of his citizenship. When I thought the GOP party couldn't sink any lower, they show me a new low.
Okay, first they told folks that he was not an American born citizen. We went through months and months of the "Birther" conspiracy. Now, they're saying that they want to strip his American citizenship. So now, which is it? How do you strip American citizenship from someone you've claimed for months was not an American citizen? Why does the GOP hate President Obama so much?
At some point Americans have got to open up their eyes and see that the GOP party is bringing this country down and causing unnecessary division with their messy and petty ways. At what point in time do the American people tell the GOP enough is enough?

This indicates that they are far more fearful than they want to openly admit. They've been trying to do everything and anything to return the nation back to their ideas of how America should be.

MsDeb said it. . . "fearful." I'll add pitiful. We are so polarized in this country. . . we gotta communicate.

It is nothing more than a distraction ploy because midterm elections are close. Smh, honestly, I think that the whole GOP would be willing to stand in the middle of the streets buck naked on Time Square if they thought it would help them win the elections.
They are pass pitiful, they give pitiful a new meaning. :)
We might as well change the word politics to politricking in regards to the GOP. BTW, did y'all watch the View? Elizabeth was grinning like Chinchilla wrapped in Mink when the President was on, but then she put on her plastic face for Hannity and called President Obama "crafty" Hmmm...I wonder what her definition for Cheney and Bush's administration was. Smh! I told y'all that she was gonna have a list of questions to ask President Obama care of Hannity.

London, UK (UPI) Feb 23, 2006
Advances in radiocarbon dating are leading scientists to revise estimates of when early modern humans arrived in Europe. Refinements in the paleontological tool have substantially narrowed the estimated overlap between Europe's earliest modern humans and the Neanderthals that preceded them, the journal Nature reported Thursday.
Radiocarbon dating estimates an artifact's age by sampling the radioactive carbon remaining from when it was formed. The new data suggest Homo sapiens wrested Europe from their prehistoric counterparts more quickly than had been thought.
Previous estimates suggested at least 7,000 years elapsed between H. sapiens arriving in Eastern Europe more than 40,000 years ago and the disappearance of the last known Neanderthals from western France, Nature.com reported. Newly calculated data shrink the overlap to, at most, 5,000 years.
Archaeologist Paul Mellars of the University of Cambridge told Nature key advances have made carbon dating more reliable.
Mellars notes recent analysis of sea sediments from the Cariaco Basin near Venezuela have provided the most accurate record yet of how carbon-14 levels have fluctuated, allowing the radiocarbon technique to be calibrated to around 50,000 years.

Melting Yukon Ice Fields Reveal Ancient Canadian Footwear
Ottawa, Canada (AFP) Feb 22, 2006
Researchers have discovered what they believe to be Canada's oldest known footwear -- a 1,400-year-old mangled leather moccasin -- in the northern Yukon territory, officials told AFP Wednesday. The ankle-high sewn leather shoe was first thought to be a hunter's bag and was kept frozen until recently when archeologists cleaned and assembled the fragile pieces.

Boys (& Girls) Still on the Bus
Why didn't Mainstream Media report that Mitt Romney's bus tour was a huge flop? WinLiberty has documented that flop HERE & HERE.
The same media outlets which have ignored the massive crowds for Ron Paul speeches also have just ignored no crowds for The MUTT.
(belatedly, today's New York Times online had this photo from inside the bus)
How come we never saw contemporaneous accounts from inside that bus? Why didn't Mainstream Media report the facts, the truth of that poorly planned and executed disaster which was The MUTT's bus tour?
In the seminal work Boys on the Bus author Timothy Crouse exposed what the decried as the very shallow, imitative tendencies of American political journalism in the 1972 presidential election (Crouse was writing for Rolling Stone as was another journalist, Hunter S. Thompson who'd also produce a great book about that campaign Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72)
Crouse coined the term pack journalism to describe how journalists ape one another and how the news industry encourages the phenomenon, to the detriment of any reader/viewer who desires honest, detailed reporting. Crouse documented and explained that almost all industry journalists churn out the same dull, misleading story, time after time, event after event.
Mitt Romney just got a pass from a press corps which should have reported that The MUTT's bus tour was a huge fiasco, a series of uninspiring, unimaginative and pathetic GOP grunts and groans with very tiny 'crowds'. Instead, it was treated as great theater.
Flattering, closely cropped camera angles ensured that the audience (that's all of us at home) never saw that in reality, very few people actually were at these speeches…at least, they never even came close to generating the kind of spontaneous and very large crowds which characterized all those Ron Paul speeches.
America was denied a chance to learn that many thousands of people came out to see and hear Ron Paul. Now, the same Mainstream Media have overhyped The MUTT's bus tour, treating it as important political news when in fact there was no there there…no audience, at least not like the thousands of enthusiastic people who populated the actual crowds for Ron Paul.
Why didn't American readers and viewers see that fairly opulent bus in which The MUTT traveled and why weren't we all clued into the fact that in reality, the guy took to traveling by air for more of his bus tour miles than he actually spent down here on the ground with the rest of us?
Journalism in America today could use the likes of Crouse and Thompson, 2 individuals who simply and professionally told the truth…instead of what we've got, a tribe of apes, journalists who don't know the truth much less have the ability or strength of character to insist on reporting it to us.
The MUTT just scammed us and Mainstream Media helped him do it. The MUTT and Mainstream Media each got what they wanted and we learned nothing.
Go figure.
WinLiberty has produced a series of Ron Paul Speech films. We have covered Ron Paul because Mainstream Media won't.

Bring That Moment
It's Graduation! Or at least the run-up to it. I watched this episode with mixed emotions. I was frustrated that Kyle and Tyla weren't there – especially when Kyle admitted he wished he'd stayed.
Dream School
It's Graduation! Or at least the run-up to it. I watched this episode with mixed emotions. I was frustrated that Kyle and Tyla weren't there – especially when Kyle admitted he wished he'd stayed.
It was a hell of a week on Dream School. When this whole project started, I wondered if all the kids would stick with it – or what would happen if things hit the skids. And this week, we found out. Kyle opted to leave in the most infuriating, sad way – walking out because he didn't want to deal with his self-admitted anger management issue. But what killed me was his Dad let him. The dad – a former Marine – is so wracked with guilt over the issues Kyle and his brother Sean have due to their parents' divorce, he kowtows to Kyle… when what Kyle really needs is a good kick in the pants. Or an actual Marine.
Sundance Channel announced today an impressive list of innovators and leaders from a cross section of professions including music, politics, film, science, journalism and more who will come together to create a DREAM SCHOOL for 15 troubled students in the network's new six-part unscripted series premiering on October 7 at 10:00pm et/pt.
From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone to astronaut Dr. Mae Jemison, these instructors will have one mission – to excite young minds and reignite their students' desire to learn. An ambitious project where the best and the brightest in our culture teach kids who have been falling through the cracks, DREAM SCHOOL is designed to motivate troubled teenagers to turn their lives around. Pregnant, neglected, bullies or bullied; the kids all have one thing in common — they are dropouts. Now Sundance Channel is giving them a once in a lifetime chance to start over, but overcoming past failures and future obstacles will prove to be no easy task for both the students and their instructors.

Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism will host a one-day contest on its Facebook page on Wednesday, giving consumers the chance to win one of 48 round-trip flights on WestJet.
The contest runs from noon on Wednesday, June 22 until noon on Thursday, June 23. Contestants can enter at Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism's Facebook page, with one participant winning a flight every half-hour during the 24-hour period. Individuals can enter once per half-hour.
The contest was put together by St. John's agency Target Marketing and Communications, which initiated the partnership between Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism and WestJet.
Jenny Smith, creative group head at Target, said the division of the contest into 48 half-hour sections is in keeping with a theme introduced by television ads that launched in January. Those spots referenced Newfoundland's unique time zone, which is half an hour ahead of the rest of Atlantic Canada.
"Having our own time zone is a product of our geography and it's a compelling part of this place," said Smith. "It's also a metaphor for who we are as people.
"We just thought that making a lot of noise about it over one day would create a lot of buzz and get people excited about coming here."
Smith said the use of Facebook was also a nod to the tourism research habits of consumers.
"Our core touring and exploring audience skews older; it's 45-plus. But that audience is the fastest-growing group on Facebook, so we thought this was a great way to reach them," said Smith. "And most people these days do their research and travel planning online, so fittingly the contest is being held on Facebook."
The contest is open to Canadian residents outside Quebec. Residents of Newfoundland and Labrador can enter, but any winners from the province must use their flights to bring in visitors from elsewhere in the country.

Track: EXTRUSION/DIE PRACTICAL - Dies, Inserts, and Coatings
ABSTRACT—Nowadays metal matrix composites (MMC) with ceramic additives constitute an
essential modern engineering material used in production of various components. In this work,
the results of extruding pure aluminum powder reinforced with two, four, eight, and 16 percent of
SiC through a porthole die are presented. The influence of the compaction mode on extrusion
parameters and the properties of extruded parts were studied. The samples for extrusion were
prepared according to two procedures: one set was subjected to compaction at room temperature
up to 90 percent of the theoretical density; whereas, the other set were compacted at 380°C up to
96 percent. The samples were next extruded at 500°C through a porthole die with varying
extrusion ratios and extrusion speeds. The influence of the chemical composition and reduction
ratio during extrusion on the density, microstructure, and mechanical properties of extrudates
were investigated. The quality of the weld seams was also examined. The extrusion force for the
samples compacted at room temperature was lower compared to that for samples compacted at
380°C. It was found that the increasing SiC content increases mechanical properties of extrudates
obtained by hot extrusion through a porthole die.
