As the world watches the last games in the group stage of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa, we've had a long enough period to make some observations about the popularity of the event. Of course, news sites have seen record-setting numbers of hits, and Twitter is buzzing with World Cup topics. This information is interesting, but incomplete; what about the impact in terms of Internet bandwidth?
Here in Canada, the games are broadcast live on CBC and are simultaneously available for streaming from the CBC's website. Rogers is also making the games available with their Rogers On Demand TV and website services, which also provide live streaming to mobile devices.
CBC's service uses the Akamai content delivery network to power their streaming, and the results have been stellar – just look at the detail in the screenshot below.
You can see the akamaihd network at work in the bottom left:
The World Cup possesses a combination of factors that are contributing to its significant Internet presence:
- It is the ultimate competition in the world's most popular sport, and sporting events must be seen live by diehard fans
- It has global popularity, even in countries who didn't send a team to South Africa
- Games take place over a period of many hours, spanning many time-zones, so a large number of workers engage in streaming activities at the office (where TV viewing is typically not available)
Other events in the last few years have possessed one or two of these characteristics (for instance, President Obama's inauguration), but none have had all three to the extent that the World Cup has.
Many service providers have tools in place that can measure the bandwidth impact – one such tool is Sandvine's recently-launched Network Data Analytics product. One of the features of this product is a Network Summary dashboard that captures how the network is performing, and illustrates the shifting nature of Internet traffic profiles. A particular tool on this dashboard is a series of "Top 25" lists that highlight popular websites, video providers, and applications. One of the early adopters of Network Data Analytics is a Canadian service provider, and the impact of the World Cup on this provider's network was immediate.
Here is a snapshot of the Top 25 Websites list from June 15th, note that akamaihd.net has surged onto the list. The snapshot shows the traffic from the previous day, so on June 14th, akamaihd.net was the 12th largest website on this network, by total bytes. We can also see that on June 13th, the site was the 19th most popular, and between June 13th and June 14th, akamaihd.net increased in total bytes by more than 80%. Clearly, this service is coming out of nowhere to become a significant generator of traffic on the network.
Indeed, by June 18th, akamaihd.net had risen to second-place, behind only YouTube, and was still increasing its byte usage at an astonishing rate of more than 80% day-over-day.
By June 22nd, the growth had slowed somewhat, and YouTube still held onto its lead – however, let's keep in mind that Canada is not competing in this World Cup, so the fact that CBC's streaming is enjoying such success is a testament to the infectious nature of the event.
Figure 1 – June 15th, 2010 | Figure 2 – June 18th, 2010 | Figure 3 – June 22nd, 2010 |
While network use is good for service providers, it can also be a double-edged sword, particularly in the case of sensitive applications such as real-time streaming. Content delivery networks certainly help to maintain high levels of subscriber quality of experience by optimizing delivery, but the network is still a limited and shared resource, so providers need to pay close attention to applications that suddenly explode in popularity. In particular, network operators need to engineer their network such that it can accommodate abnormal surges of Internet traffic (some predictable, some unpredictable), especially when such events overlap with Internet peak usage periods, in order to safeguard the subscriber experience.
While some providers will reap the rewards of the World Cup's popularity thanks to consumption-based billing and high subscriber satisfaction, others are struggling with overwhelming data levels and problems with filtering technologies. Those service providers who have invested in traffic measurement and network policy control tools are in a perfect position to smoothly manage and benefit from this type of network usage scenario – for others, the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa might be just the event to sell them on the value of such tools.

Twitter Marketing There are many social networks out there and most of them can be helpful in business marketing, if you invest enough time and effort into building a following and then skillfully spreading your news. Biz Web Experts prefer and provide Twitter marketing. No, we won't create and develop an account and following for you. Developing a respectable number of followers takes time.

Lest we forget.
I'm reading a lovely little book called Faith and Treason and I'm learning all sorts of things.
For instance, Queen Elizabeth (the first) often ordered that Catholic priests were to be murdered punished for being...um...Catholic.
She frequently decided their their balls and limbs needed to be hacked off for practicing their religious beliefs. Not that they needed their balls, being all devout and stuff, but limbs – they're mighty handy!
She also was not fond of folks who wrote trifling books like "Catechism of Christian Doctrine Necessary for Children and Ignorant People." Granted, that book was written by a zealous religious fanatic, but spending a life in prison for being a presumptuous, arrogant asshole…hmm…wait…I'm thinking about Rush Limbaugh…
Well, anyway - y'all know I love sassed-up hairdos and fancy, frilly frocks, but let us not forget that during Elizabeth's reign being a Protestant and attending church was mandatory. Otherwise, you'd be fined, sent to jail...or have your limbs and balls hacked off.
Congrats to Helen Mirren for her recent Golden Globes playing the QEs two, but a jazzy corset doesn't excuse the straightjacket of religious conformity and government-sanctioned torture that was a part of The Virgin Queen's reign.
It should give pause to those who'd do the same thing in this country.
Oh, but wait.
It didn't: GOP platform declares the United States a Christian nation.
Pentagon allows hearsay and tortue as grounds for evidence at Guantanamo Trials.

Marry? Married! Quite Contrary.
Today, I salute the women who don't need (or want) a man and the women who'd rather see their husbands gang-raped in prison than in another woman's arms!
Ladies: Don't want no scrubs, or hubbies, either.
Ladies: Don't drop the soap, dear. Two-timing's gonna be a lifetime in the slammer!

Summary: Chapter 3 The Director is leading the students around the facilities, when they go out to the garden. There are many children running about naked, and the students are puzzled by this. They are playing games when all of a sudden the Directors lecture is interrupted by a boy sitting in the bushes crying and he is rushed off to a psychologist, and the Director explains that sexual play at an early age used to be considered immoral, and the effects of sexual repression. Then a man comes that the Director refers to as Òhis fordshipÓ Mustapha Mond. Then clocks begin striking four and shifts change. Then it begins a narrative of three scenes and switches back and forth. The first is MondÕs speech to the students about the World State, before there a tight watch on reproduction. Mond made the Director uneasy, because he kept books that were Ònot allowedÓ. He also tells the students about strong emotion, inspired by family relationships, sexual repression, and delayed satisfaction of desire, goes directly against stability. And how before the World state strong emotions caused disease, and war. He told of how after the Nine Years war the suppression of books made religion, Shakespeare and families, obscurity. Bernard later hears The Assistant Predestinator and Henry talking about Lenina and the assistant suggests that Henry should Òhave her some timeÓ and this conversation disgusts Bernard. Then Henry offers him some soma, which is a drug that makes people happy. This makes Bernard very angry, but Henry and the predestinator just laughed at him, as he curses at him. Then the scene changes to Lenina and a girl named Fanny Crowne, who at age nineteen is taking Pregnancy substitute, which mimics the hormones of Pregnancy. Fanny warns Lenina against exclusively dating Henry, and Lenina tells her that she is going with Bernard to the Savage Reservation. |

Joseph Smith Quotes
The great Jehovah contemplated the whole of the events connected with the earth, pertaining to the plan of salvation, before it rolled into existence, or ever "the morning stars sang together" for joy; the past, the present, and the future were and are, with Him, one eternal "now." . . . He comprehended the fall of man, and his redemption; He knew the plan of salvation and pointed it out. . . . He knows the situation of both the living and the dead, and has made ample provision for their redemption, according to their several circumstances, and the laws of the kingdom of God, whether in this world, or in the world to come.
The exaltation and happiness of any community, goes hand in hand with the knowledge possessed by the people, when applied to laudable ends; whereupon we can exclaim like the wise man; righteousness exalteth a nation; for righteousness embraces knowledge and knowledge is power.
We consider that God has created man with a mind capable of instruction, and a faculty which may be enlarged in proportion to the heed and diligence given to the light communicated from heaven to the intellect; and that the nearer man approaches perfection, the clearer are his views, and the greater his enjoyments, till he has overcome the evils of his life and lost every desire for sin; and like the ancients, arrives at that point of faith where he is wrapped in the power and glory of his Maker, and is caught up to dwell with Him.

Matthew got down to about 135 lbs at his thinnest I honestly don't know how he survived each day. So far Matthew has put on about 25 lbs and probably can't get food in fast enough.

There has been a lot of media attention lately regarding the return of children from Australia to overseas parents.
Everyone is aware of the infamous case involving the four Italian sisters who had expressed a strong wish to stay with their mother in Australia, and another recent media report about brothers who were split, with one being returned to his father in Australia and the other remaining with his mother in Canada. So what does it all mean?
Australia has agreed to abide by the Hague Convention. This international law provides a mechanism for parents to secure the prompt return of children who are abducted from their home country by one of their parents, enabling the Courts in that home country to determine where they should live.
In the case of the Italian sisters, the Australian Court has ordered that the sisters return to Italy so that the Italian Court could hear the dispute between the girls' parents.
Not all countries have agreed to be bound by this system.
In Australia, when an application is made for the return of a child to another country, if the Court finds that the removal of the child from its home country is 'wrongful', then the Court must make an Order for return of that child.
The removal of the child will be 'wrongful' if the child is under 16, lived in the home country before they were removed and the parent making the application had custody rights in that home country.
Once the child is returned to their home country, the parents can then apply to the Court in that country for Orders about who the child will live with and where the child will live (including which country the child will live in). The future of the four Italian sisters, under this law, will have to be decided by the family courts in Italy.
For further information contact the Family Law Team.

text: Back in my corporate life my employees and I in the HR department used to laugh that coming to visit HR was like walking the green mile; especially, if you got a call to come for a visit. Although we laughed about it, the very thought of that walk being akin to the green mile in the so named movie, was really a sad comparison. How often have you had a similar thought about your HR department? or, maybe about your CEO's office or any other leader's threshold? How often do you think your employees feel that way about coming to see you?

We have advised buyers and sellers on transactions of more than 3 million tons from projects that will produce more than 15 million tons of emission reductions. Our current and past engagements include:
Middleton Avoided Conversion Project, USA
Client: Green Assets
Services: Marketing and sales
The project involves the protection of more than 3,700 acres of native mixed pine and hardwood forests in South Carolina, USA. Credits produced by the project will be issued under the Climate Action Reserve (CAR) be eligible as early offset credits that can be converted into compliance credits for use in California's cap-and-trade system that starts in 2013. TerraCarbon is assisting Green Assets with marketing and sale of the credits, including advising on structure and pricing.
Bale Mountain REDD Project, Ethiopia
Client: Bale Mountain Ecosystem Sustainability Management Program
Services: Financial planning and credit marketing
The Bale Mountain REDD project is located in the southern highlands of Ethiopia and involves protection of one of the last Afro-montane forests in the world, also a biodiversity hotspot, from unplanned deforestation caused by small-scale activities. Working with consortium partners, TerraCarbon advised the Oromia Forestry and Wildlife Agency on the technical and financial design of the project, and assisted with the marketing of the project to potential investors. The project has been initiated and options for on-going finance are still being considered.
Reforestation of degraded grasslands in Uchindile & Mapanda, Tanzania
Client: Green Resources
Service: Marketing and sales
TerraCarbon advised Norwegian-based Green Resources AS on the marketing of CDM and VCS credits from its AR projects in Tanzania. Its VCS AR project is the first registered forestry project under the VCS. In total, these projects will involve the afforestation of more than 10,000 hectares of land in Tanzania, providing a critical source of wood in a region that has experienced significant deforestation, and removing more than 5.5 million tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
"TerraCarbon provided valuable transaction support and analysis that was essential to our sale of CDM and VCS credits. TerraCarbon is uniquely qualified to provide carbon advisory services in the forest and land use sector."

Go to stornway with those items. Go over to the alchemy pot and "try your luck". Then when the list appears, put the rusty helmet, 9 glass frits,and the orichalum and bim bam boom, you have an erdrick's sword
To get e'dricks sword you must obtain a rusty sword from the realm of the allmighty and find it in a red chest. You will also need 9 glasss frit's and 1 orichalcum. Then mi them togeather in the alchemy pot and there you go. The recipie is the same for te armour but you have to have the right amount of ingredients.
When you get a dragon diligence, and make someone a dragon, the scroll will disappear.
You might already know this, but if you don't well here tis. (I made someone a dragon and he got to level 8, so I wanted to switch someone else to the dragon, but I couldnt find the scroll...)
You can get more than one tho.
One in the slimeopolis, one in the best dressed contest, andone in mortamors castle. Course if you get lizzy then you don't REALLY need them. But still.
Go to a dungeon that has metal slimes, but also with a lot of blue chests. Go through the dungeon getting the blue chests, then battle the metlimes (and any other monsters that get in your way), when you deplete your mp (which I will get to later), go to stornway inn, rest, and put your money in the bank. Go save and turn off your game, and go play some other games or read or w/e.
Lame yeah, but after a while (not sure the exact while) go back to dq9, and go back to the dungeon and the blue chests will be back.
Yes, you already knew this, but coupled with the metlimes it's really good to do this several times.
The two dungeons that are good for this (during the main story) are the bad cave and the bowhole. The bad cave for earlier in the game (like when you get to it and a little bit after), then the bowhole when you get to it (and then until the last boss, I got to level 50+ in this dungeon before battling corvus).
The bad cave has metal slime stack (or metal medley, not sure which name) and the bowhole has liquid metal slimes.
The items you get each time are not amazing per say, but in the bowhole I got like 20+ mini medals, not including the ones you get when you get there the first time.
Also, my team is minstrel with a sword, a priest with a spear, a mage (with w/e weapon), and a martial artist with claws.
The mins with a sword be cause of metal slash (or you could use anything that uses a sword. I never change my vocations until I beat the main story, because I feel whats the point? When I'm able to change my vocations I am already established in the ones I started out with. But thats just me. W/e works for you.)
The priest with the spear because of thunder thrust (again or whoever uses a spear. BUT, a priest is nice because of it's healing spells, which is why I talked about basing when you leave the dungeon on your mp. Sure you can buy, or alchemize, herbs but why waste the money, when you can just pay 12gp at stornway)
The mage doesnt have anything special (in my party), so I just make him do a regular attack.
Martial artist with claws, because of flailing nails (again or whoever uses claws, but I prefer a martial artist in my team for reasons that I said in a different hint).
Ok guys if you don't know where to get the best alchemy items id suggest becoming a theif and learning half inch
You should use the warrior as someone on your team because it has high hp,good coupe de grace,and it very stong on the sword and shield and is good in battle.
a really good vocation to use in ur beginning party (and even keep it) is martial artist.
first they have high agility, high strength, moderate defense, and high hp. while they have really sucky mp it doesnt matter:
i usually use claws on my MA to use flailing nails and hard claw (see why in my previous post). hard claw doesnt use any mp so its awesome to use with a MA.
best thing i think is they can gain the psyche up ability at an early level which boost up ur tension a notch. couple this with ur heros egg on and u can get to tension 100 a lot quicker.
plus level up in galdiator and gain the feel the burn ability and you have one hell of a MA

claws are AMAZING.
first they can use flailing nails which can hit 4 times in a row which is great for killing the metal slime family. and the attack is to one monster not random so like i said its good for killing metal slimes. occasionally it will miss totally or only do one but it does at least three a lot.
they also can do hard claw. which i think is the best ability in the game (keep in mind that ive only used like 3 percent of the abilitys but ive read about all of them). hard claw hits twice hard to a single monster. and it does more then a single attack. also, and this is what i like to do, cast oomph on ur claw user and bring his/her tension to 100. epicness.
you can also use the claw of god move (might be called hand of god) which does high damge.
or really any weapon that 'hits the soft spot' but it seemed to me that the assassins blade had a higher percentage of actually working.
also, a weapon that 'hits the soft spot' is great for killing the metal slime family. yeah it doesnt always work but its awesome when you knife user goes first and kills it instantly.
1. low attack but you attack twice so you deal more damage then a single attack.
2. if you cast oomph on your sword user and use falcon slash with the falcon blade it deals high damage.
3.what i like to use it for is killing the metal slime family. equip falcon blade and use metal slash and it can do a total of 4 points. occasionally it will only do 1 or miss but thats like any other sword. it usually does at least two.
4. you can alchemize it into an uber falcon blade. while this doesnt have any effect on killing metal slimes, use it like stated in number two and it will give you even more damage.
I have completed this game and in my line up I used 4 Corvus in his 2nd form was the main character (you) as a Paladin, and the other 3 to be a Sage, an Armamentalist and a Warrior. That was the line up I used. U dont have to us the complete line up but have at least 1 of them but have some strong people on vocations like Gladiator, Paladin, Sage, Armamentalist, Warrior and a Luminary. Hope u find this info useful.
To get the magic key you need to go to the desert town (sorry i forgot the name) and go to the top of the castle were the old man is. Then go to the back of the place were you got there from. (hope this helps!)
In order to do this you firstly need any spell or ability that will attack a group of enemies, i would reccomend an ability that doesn't use up any MP so that this can be done for an unlimited length of time, for example: i used wind sickles as once it has been learned can be used with any vocation as long as you have no weapon equiped.
Now, this ability needs to be strong enough to defeat the slimes outside of bloomingdale in two hits, but still weak enough not to kill them in one shot. And it should be noted that you will need your agility to be high enough for you to attack first each time.
Now, as you will have noticed, the slimes outside of bloomingdale will not attack you, but simply call for more slimes to appear until there are 8 on-screen and then they merge into a king slime. But, you should take note of the fact that one slime requires a turn in order for the whole group to merge.
So this is how the technique works, you need there to be four slimes on screen to begin with, so if there are two defend for a turn so that there are four. Now use your ability or spell on these four slimes which will now mean these four slimes will die on the next hit. Next these four slimes will spawn four more slimes so that there are now 8, but they cannot merge as none of them have a turn left. Now you simply use the ability or spell again, and this will casue the four that were originally there to die, but make it so that the other four will now die on the next hit. These four will then spawn four more, and you should use the ability or spell a third time, and the same will happen again. And this process can be repetead for as many turns as you like.
The only potential problem with this is that occasionally one slime many get a move in edgewise, resulting in the formation of the king slime too early, but with a high enough agility skill this should not occur.
I hope this will have been of some sort of help :D
Do you find that it's hard to gain enough exp and lvl up so you can beat that hard boss? Well this might help for those who dont use an action replay!
There are some monsters that give very high amounts of exp when defeated. These monsters are metal monsters. These are mutations of another form of a monster (note: this is NOT a game error!). Some examples are metal slimes, metal slime stack (Found in the Bad Cave, a.k.a. the place where you save marionette), and metal bubble slime. Not all metal monsters are like this. Like the metal hunter robot in the Bad Cave does not count for this. Any creature that is metal, but does not have a previous form that is different do not count. These monsters are rare and are harder to find than the others. I found that when I beat just 1 metal slime stack, it gave all my characters about 10,300 Exp. That is a lot for that level! I remember I was using a x32 action replay cheat when I killed one metal bubble slime and got about 320,000 Exp!!!! (Ill leave you great mathemations to figure out how much that is regularly).
I dont know if there are any other monsters besides those but that is what I know. Try to see for yourself how much Exp you can get from these guys. Happy Playing!!!!!

About Alcohol Drug Treatment
Alcohol drug treatment describes the rehabilitation process for both drug addiction and alcohol abuse. In today's medical world, both alcoholism and drug addiction are considered brain disorders. People with both alcoholism and drug addiction seem to need a longer, more intense initial rehabilitation. A person with both alcoholism and drug addiction is often referred to as being "dually-addicted". Some terminology in this industry can be confusing. For example, dually-addicted should not be confused with the term dual diagnosis, which up until recently, meant someone who had a drug or alcohol problem and a mental health diagnosis, such as depression. It is important to properly evaluate, assess and diagnosis any person with both alcohol and drug abuse. Everyone who abuses alcohol or drugs is performing self medication of some personal and psychological issues. Alcohol and drug abuse are actually symptoms of their inability to successfully navigate their day to day challenges and duties, without using alcohol and drugs. Proper assessment is very important to treating the dually addicted person. All persons who abuse drugs or alcohol are self medicating their personal disorders and psychosis. Without the proper diagnosis of all their psychological issues, their chances of receiving the best treatment are significantly reduced. The first, medical issue to rehab for a dually-addicted person is detox. Alcohol always requires detoxification. However, some drugs require detox while others do not. Therefore, the detox protocol must be closely scrutinized and administered to insure both elements are medically addressed properly and simultaneously. Dually addicted patients are more likely to drop out of treatment and have poorer results than patients who abuse only one substance. However, since most studies on treating drug and alcohol abuse have examined these disorders separately, drug and alcohol treatment counselors now have little science-based information on which to base their treatment of these patients. A well coordinated and integrated treatment plan is essential for someone who is alcoholic and an addict. It should effectively address the needs of the overwhelming number of Americans who abuse both alcohol and illicit drugs. Identifying how someone relates to people places and things is one key to making progress in therapy. Most alcoholics and addicts tend to be self absorbed and like to be alone. Many drink and use by themselves, although this may not be the case. Some of their tendency to be reclusive stems from a lack of self esteem and a distorted self image. Improving the perception to their actual physical body needs to be addressed in treatment. Exercise, for example, should always be a part of treatment. Recently, Eastern disciplines, such as yoga and tai chi are excellent ways to improve in this area. The treatment and rehabilitation process is similar for people suffering from both alcoholism and drug addiction. People who suffer from both diseases are treated with the same modalities as someone with one or the other malady. The differences between rehab and treatment for someone with both alcoholism and drug addiction would primarily be making the dually addicted person acutely aware they have both concerns and address both forms of the disease concurrently and accordingly. More than 2.4 million of the 5.6 million people who abused illicit drugs in 2001 also abused alcohol, according to the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse. In fact, the more heavily someone abused alcohol, the more likely he or she was to use illicit drugs, the survey found. In 2001, nearly two of every three American teenagers, ages 12 to 17, who engaged in frequent drinking binges also abused drugs. In comparison, only 1 in 20 young people who didn't drink at all used drugs.Alcohol and Drug Treatment

Disaster-Recovery Needs Didn't Stop Storage's Slide
In theory, it made all kinds of sense that companies would load up on storage capacity in the wake of Sept. 11, investing in disaster recovery to protect themselves in case of future attacks.
But in practice, that idea proved a bust.
Granted, the terrorist attacks drove home the point that companies needed to be better prepared for disasters. But they also struck such a body blow to business confidence -- in an already sluggish economy -- that nervous managements grew leery of spending on expensive goods like storage systems.
After Sept. 11, IT managers "basically got risk-averse and said, 'Let's hold back on the big expensive projects a bit,' " says Michael Kelly, chairman of Techtel.com, which conducts surveys on corporate technology spending habits.
As a result of the weak macroeconomy, in 2002 leading storage stocks have slowly deflated to below the depressed levels they reached in the immediate wake of the terrorist attacks. After initially staging a recovery around the end of 2001 -- when the broader market rebounded from the attacks -- storage concerns have surrendered that ground, and more, on concerns about weak corporate spending. As of early September, EMC (EMC) and Veritas (VRTS) were trading below their post-Sept. 11 lows, while Network Appliance (NTAP) came uncomfortably close to its low during August.A Retrospective on Storage
Some market watchers had initially predicted that storage could see a bounce in the wake of the terrorist attacks. "It seems plausible that companies throughout the world will assess their own backup and contingency systems, which could lead to increased purchases, and a recovery in the corporate 'enterprise' technology sectors," said a report from Crowell, Weedon & Co. issued three days after the attacks last year. Likewise, at the end of September 2001, U.S. Bancorp analyst Ashok Kumar suggested in a note that "as companies come to terms with the possibility that their own business has an element of risk exposure to terrorist acts, they will increase the spending on disaster tolerant systems, network and storage." But Kumar also correctly predicted that growing competition and weak IT spending would outweigh any gains in disaster recovery sales. (IBM) and Hitachi, prices fell sharply across the storage sector. Between 2000 and 2001, the cost of one megabyte of storage dove from 17.3 cents to 7.6 cents, says Berg. According to IDC, the storage market shrank nearly 19% in the same period, from $29.7 billion to an estimated $24.2 billion. In its annual report, leading storage vendor EMC blamed the terrorist attacks for exacerbating the economic slowdown. In the wake of Sept. 11, potential customers cut back further on IT spending, which hurt sales, the company said. In calendar year 2001, its revenue slid 20% from their 2000 levels, and it was forced to cut 4,000 employees.Disaster Recovery Helps, But Not Enough
But though economic fallout from the attacks further depressed overall storage spending, anecdotal evidence suggests some companies were more inclined to invest in high-tech data backup systems. Indeed, early in 2002, EMC CEO Joe Tucci listed "business continuity" equipment and services (in other words, fancy disaster recovery systems) as one of the five areas that would help drive EMC's growth through the year. "Spending on business continuity has not been impacted as much as other areas of storage," explains EMC spokesman Greg Eden. The company doesn't break out the sale of products that might be used for those purposes. But they might include networked storage and services, as well as replication software to make high-fidelity copies of data. Even now, the No. 1 reason companies buy storage is for disaster recovery, according to a recent survey of about 500 technology decision-makers by Punk Ziegel. In the survey, 19% of corporate respondents cited disaster recovery as the reason they wanted storage, ahead of the 17% who wanted faster access to data and the 15% who sought to keep better track of expanding customer rolls (respondents could choose more than one reason). "It's become something that's definitely come to the forefront of every IT decision-maker's mind," says Suresh Vasudevan, director of software product marketing at Network Appliance, which sells network-attached storage. In past conversations with customers, "disaster recovery may or may not have been brought up as part of the decision-making process. Now I find it very rare to have a conversation where disaster recovery is not one of the key purchase criteria," says Vasudevan. But ultimately, the heightened interest in data security doesn't seem to have helped the bottom line much for storage companies. Case in point: Earlier this year, storage software maker Veritas reported that its disaster recovery seminars were drawing standing-room only crowds of 300 to 400 people since Sept. 11, compared to 75 people before the terrorist attacks. But those crowds haven't necessarily translated into sales, and Veritas has been missing numbers, notes Prudential Securities analyst John McPeake. The company's guidance for the current and past quarter has fallen short of Wall Street estimates. In sum, "any increases in disaster recovery were certainly not enough to offset the decline in the entire storage industry," says Eric Sheppard, a senior research analyst at IDC. In the meantime, surveys of IT officers suggest that spending on storage isn't likely to see any near-term pickup. "It looks as if we've just returned to a flat level indicating it's basically following along with the general trend from the economy," says Techtel.com's Kelly. "That's more of a factor right now than the terrorism. Nothing we can see says there will be a big bounce yet, though nothing says the bottom will drop out either. Things are basically just hanging in there, staying flat."Select the service that is right for you!

China Tours: Discover the Treasures of the Celestial Kingdom
China is the fourth largest country in the world and boasts an incredible variety of peoples and places, cultures and landscapes. World Discovery China holidays will give you an insight into the country's rich historical legacy dating back more than 5,000 years. Stretching across its northern reaches, from the Gobi Desert to the Yellow Sea, can be found one of Mankind's greatest architectural wonders - the astonishing Great Wall of China, built in the 3rd century B.C. to keep out the barbarian hordes.
The capital Beijing is the natural gateway to this vast and fascinating land and itself possesses must-see attractions such as the Forbidden City, the exquisite Temple of Heaven and the Imperial Summer Palace. The ancient city of Xi'an (formerly Chang'an, the eastern terminus of the famous Silk Road) is home to the amazing army of Terracotta Warriors, more than 8,000 life-size statues that were discovered as recently as 1974. The cosmopolitan city of Shanghai near the eastern seaboard has grown remarkably in the last few decades and looks set to become East Asia's leading business city; nearby can be found the garden cities of Hangzhou, Suzhou and Wuzhen.
The Yangtze River, one of the world's great waterways, threads its way through the heart of the country, from the Himalayas in the West to the East China Sea. World Discovery offers a selection of cruises on the excellent 'Victoria Katerina'.
In the south the surreal mountains of Guilin recall the poetic landscapes of traditional Chinese paintings, while to the west and north lie the lands of minority peoples like the Tibetans and Uigurs, and the age-old cities that line the Silk Road, recalling the journeys of Marco Polo and other great travellers of the past.
Below you'll find a wide range of China holidays with World Discovery.

Where: 200 Barton Blvd., Rockledge
Hours: 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11:30¤a.m. to 10¤p.m. Friday and Saturday; bar stays open later; closed Sunday
Call: 321-639-4048
Other: If you are trying wine, consider the Wine Lovers' Platter, described as: "Our delicious paté made in house with chicken livers blended with wild mushrooms and cognac coupled with our roasted garlic, nut crusted cheese spread." It comes with apple slices, grapes and crackers for $16.
The owners of Cocoa Village watering hole Murdock's have opened a different kind of restaurant in an unexpected, but hopeful, location. It's Vintage 56, in a nondescript shopping center off newly refurbished Barton Boulevard, where Rockledge officials are setting the stage for a renaissance.
Vintage 56 is a very good start, with casually elegant surroundings and a diverse menu that ranges from small plates to flatbread pizzas, sandwiches and serious entrees.
The red interior and art-deco wine posters suggest this is a wine bar, though the wine list isn't particularly extensive. There are some nice choices, however, that complement the varied menu.
I've made two visits, once with a crowd, and another with a companion. Both times service was attentive, and we even spotted a beloved waiter we knew from another favorite restaurant.
If the dishes we tried sound like a laundry list, it's because the menu lends itself to sampling. The Brick Oven Rustic Flats — the flatbread pizzas — come in 10¤combinations, or design your own, for $7 to $10. The Fungi, featuring vodka sauce, cheese and three types of mushrooms, is fun and flavorful but conventional enough for the unadventurous. The more daring will be rewarded by the complex flavors of the Mediterranean, with pesto, goat cheese, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, kalamata olives, pepperoncinis and pancetta.
The pizza is more than a meal, but share it so you can try some of the other dishes. My companion and I loved the rich, salty taste of the Oysters Rockefeller with Brie ($9). That's from the Small Plates menu; one of the very small plates, but a simple, fun complement to other dishes, was the olives ($5) — that is, a mix of green olives stuffed with blue cheese, anchovies or almonds.
Our group shared the Artisanal Cheese Board ($18), with a pleasant selection of cheese, chutney, dried fruit and candied pecans.I'd be happier to get my cheese in sliceable chunks, but the little pieces were OK.
In the fun plates department, aka A Touch of Glass, several appetizer-size combos are served in martini glasses. We tried the Ahi Tuna Martini ($10), which was more about the salad of tomatoes, avocado, greens and wasabi soy vinaigrette than the bitefuls of tuna mixed in, and the Drunken Thai Shrimptini ($9), highlighted by large shrimp in a sweet Thai chili sauce.
The restaurant was out of the lobster bisque, which seems to be on everyone's menus these days, but my companion and I liked the pancetta-accented Heirloom Tomato Stack ($8) and loved the hearty Bleu Cheese Chopped Salad ($8), with more delicious candied pecans.
Also tried around the table, with pleasure: the Porterhouse Pork Chop ($18), which is among the house specialties of duck, chicken, lamb and steak; and the Muffuletta ($8), a fine sandwich, if not as good as the one at New Orleans' Central Grocery. We didn't even get to the pasta.
What's nice about a menu like this? If you aren't thrilled by one thing, chances are the next one will make you happy. We found a lot to be happy about at Vintage 56, and it's a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

The story of American education over the last three decades is one not of insufficient funds but of inefficient schools. Billions of new dollars have gone into the system, to little effect. Luckily, Americans are starting to recognize that we can improve schooling without paying an additional dime. In fact, by unleashing the power of educational choice, we might even save money while getting better results and helping the economy's long-term prospects.
Better Schools, Fewer Dollars

And he begins the interview by saying: "I believe in doing only one project at a time. I want to concentrate on the serial that I am presently working in Kasamh Se." But isn't he also doing a cameo in the film Golmaal Returns?
And he begins the interview by saying: "I believe in doing only one project at a time. I want to concentrate on the serial that I am presently working in Kasamh Se." But isn't he also doing a cameo in the film Golmaal Returns?
"This cameo appearance is just like a small opening for me in Bollywood. I like the experience of doing the film but it is not something that is new to me. I have done these kinds of things before." He goes on to add that working with Ajay Devgan for the making of the film has been a pleasant experience because the actor came across as a "a complete professional."
Ram believes that both television and films have undergone a major change over the last decade. "Television is as big as cinema. Everything about it is larger than life. Bollywood is of course also experimenting with many different kinds of films," says Ram.
Does Ram aim to be in Bollywood eventually? "I am happy doing television. I come from a western school of thought — showbiz is showbiz, the medium doesn't matter. This is an interesting time to be on television," says Ram.
Television is very competitive and often an actor is as good as his last appearance. How does Ram feel about it? "There is a cut throat competition in the industry. Out of sight is out of mind!," he replies. Ram is happy if he is addressed as 'Mr Walia' the character he plays on screen. "I believe that the television character is more important than the actor who plays him. If people call me by my reel name, I take it as a compliment because it means that I played my part well," say this Mumbaikar who studied in Nainital and "didn't really want to be an actor initially. It was in Class IX that theatre personality Amir Raza Hussain gave me a break and my journey as an actor started."
We ask him about the two important women in his life –his boss Ekta Kapoor and his wife Gautami Kapoor. "Ekta and I share a very professional relationship. I respect Ekta as she knows how to get the best out of an actor. As for my wife, we both keep busy schedules but the 'us' time is very important. We go on a holiday twice in a year and this keeps our fire burning,"says Ram.
Now we know!

Van Buren County Tax Vote
Residents of rural Van Buren County have overwhelmingly agreed to make a local option sales and service tax permanent.
The margin of Tuesday's special election was 96% - 4%.
This is a reversal from the November General Election when 52% of voters rejected the extension.
The Van Buren County Board of Supervisors placed the issue on the ballot a second time after being presented a petition with more than 400 signatures.
Auditor Jon Finney says the tax generates about $275,000 a year, which goes towards rural property tax relief.
The one-cent local option sales and service tax is already in place in each of Van Buren County's incorporated communities.
March 2013
Yes - 418
No - 17
November 2012
Yes - 836
No - 904

In fact the whole point of my proposal is that almost all the policy information lives in the key records. The policy record essentially contains one bit of information 'everything is/is not DKIM'. The only parameter that is needed is to allow for specification of the key record prefix so the correct key records can be found. I disagree that there is a need to state that an algorithm is deprecated in signer generated records though. If there was such a need it should be done through a separate mechanism for distributing the status of cryptographic algorithms and should proceed from an authoritative source like CFRG. -----Original Message----- From: Douglas Otis [mailto:dotis(_at_)mail-abuse(_dot_)org] Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 2:20 PM To: Hallam-Baker, Phillip Cc: ietf-dkim(_at_)mipassoc(_dot_)org Subject: Re: [ietf-dkim] Comments on draft-ietf-dkim-ssp-requirements-02.txt On Oct 23, 2006, at 10:52 AM, Hallam-Baker, Phillip wrote:The deployment scenarios do not capture the downgradeattack problemcorrectly.

Agent X Feat. Mutya And Ultra - Fallin (Matrix and Futurebound Remix / Shock One Remix)12"
Agent X are one of the hottest remix outfits around, reworking tracks for Ne-Yo, Janet Jackson, Wiley, Dizee Rascal and many more. 'Fallin' features Ultra and Mutya Buena (of Sugababes fame) and is Agent X's brand new single forthcoming on 3 Beat Blue. Drafting in some top talent for their own remix package Agent X enlist Matrix & Futurebound and ShockOne to deliver some storming drum & bass versions. Matrix & Futurebound take the lead with a heavier version of their signature sound, taking all the melodic influences they're known for and switching it up with some hard hitting bass. Meanwhile ShockOne goes for a slightly smoother feel with some beautifully crafted beats and epic piano lines. Hitting the record stores as a collaborative effort between 3 Beat Blue and Futurebound's Viper Recordings, this scorching 12" will have the girls pulling their tops off in Ibiza and the boys stomping like crazy down at Matter. Don't sleep on this massive release!

What the Press say
"...We were heading for Linthwaite House, overlooking Lake Windermere... Through the rain the award-winning Linthwaite beckoned, a 1900's house on a hilltop in fourteen acres of lawns, woods and lake. We'd barely checked in before the children, like unleashed dogs, bounded into the grounds, whooping like banshees. Meanwhile, we dried off by the reception fire (using only wood cut from the grounds - it's admirably green)..." - Jackie Annesley, London Evening Standard, May 2010. Read the full article here!

Mixed reaction to proposed urban-only ridings
There is mixed reaction to the proposed creation of urban-only ridings in Saskatchewan.
"MPs certainly have the capacity to represent both the views of people living in the large cities and in smaller communities in rural Saskatchewan," said Regina-Lumsden-Lake Centre MP, Tom Lukiwski.
A new electoral map has been drafted by the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission, which would separate urban and rural votes in five ridings around the province.
"I think it's a radical change that doesn't serve the province well, quite frankly," Lukiwski said.
The economy of Saskatchewan is so closely linked between rural and urban areas that isolating the issues would be detrimental, he said.
It ends up causing an "us versus them" mentality, "and I don't think that's healthy," he said.
But NDP Candidate Nettie Wiebe, who lost to conservative MP Kelly Block in Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar, doesn't agree.
"I live out on the farm and I work in the city -- I'm rooted in both urban and rural Saskatchewan," she said.
There are places in Saskatoon, for example, that have important issues that don't resonate with the country, she said.
"The housing issues in the core neighborhoods, the health issues for First Nations people, they need to be reflected in Ottawa," Wiebe said.
Voters she met while campaigning in Saskatoon felt that their interests weren't properly represented, she said.
Saskatchewan is the only province that does not have any solely urban ridings.
"In that sense, we're more in tune with the kind of boundaries the rest of Canadian voters work within with these changes," said Wiebe.
