Goldy tags two more homers for D-backs sweep
Slugger torments Dodgers with four dingers in three-game series
LOS ANGELES -- It appears not even Clayton Kershaw can stop Paul Goldschmidt these days.
Goldschmidt continued his assault on Dodgers pitching as he homered twice and drove in all three of the D-backs runs as they beat the Dodgers, 3-2, on Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium.
With the win, the D-backs swept the three-game series and finished their road trip with a 4-2 mark.
After the game, though, the talk was about Goldschmidt, who homered in all three games of the series, the first time he's homered in three straight games in his career.
"I'd walk him," D-backs reliever Heath Bell said when asked how he'd pitch to Goldschmidt right now. "He's an unbelievable player. If he was on the East Coast he'd be one of the best in the game. I think he's one of the best in the game as it is, but he doesn't get a whole lot of limelight here in Arizona."
That may change if Goldschmidt keeps this up. He now leads the National League with 30 RBIs and he's hitting .336 with seven homers and 22 RBIs in his career against the Dodgers. He's even better at Dodger Stadium, with a .389 average with six homers and 15 RBIs.
"It seems like Goldschmidt's been a one-man wrecking crew on us," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "It doesn't really matter who is out there. He's hit our three best arms."
Goldschmidt has been hard on the Dodgers throughout his young career, but Kershaw had been the one pitcher that seemed to possess the secret to getting him out. After going hitless in his first two at-bats on the night, Goldschmidt was 1-for-16 with seven strikeouts.
"He doesn't really make many mistakes," Goldschmidt said of Kershaw. "He uses both sides of the plate, he uses all his pitches and I just try to stay patient and get a pitch to hit. It's not a guy you're going to get a lot of hits off. I knew my numbers weren't good. I didn't know exactly, I knew they were one for something with a bunch of punchouts. But just like if you have good numbers against someone it can change in a hurry, it can go the other way."
The change happened in the sixth with the D-backs trailing, 2-0.
Didi Gregorius reached on an error by shortstop Dee Gordon to start the inning and Goldschmidt followed with a two-run homer to left.
"You can't let Goldschmidt beat you," Kershaw said. "He's their guy over there now. You've got to tip your cap. He's swinging the bat really well. It's my fault. I've had some success against him, but he's their three-hole hitter. He's swinging the bat really well right now and today's a new day. There's no numbers today. So he won today."
In the eighth, Goldschmidt hit a two-out solo homer off Kenley Jansen that proved to be the game-winner.
"I hit it and I knew it was going to be close and I kind of lost sight of it and couldn't tell, so I looked at the umpire and he obviously said home run," Goldschmidt said.
Goldschmidt's offensive heroics made a winner of Wade Miley, who rebounded after struggling mightily with his command in his previous two starts to allow just two runs over 7 2/3 innings.
"It felt a whole lot better," said Miley, who improved to 3-1. "I went after guys, challenged guys a little bit more and had some success."
Even more important was the improved command he showed. Of his 102 pitches, he threw 75 strikes and did not allow a walk.
"No," Miley said when asked if he made any mechanical adjustments after the last two starts. "Just quit thinking. I just kind of got caught up in trying to do too much, trying to be too perfect."
The D-backs placed closer J.J. Putz on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a strained elbow, so manager Kirk Gibson turned to Bell to preserve the 3-2 lead in the ninth.
After allowing a leadoff double to pinch-hitter Skip Schumaker, Bell retired the next three Dodgers in order to pick up his third save of the year.
"Get a guy on second, you just have to make your pitches to get out of it, and I did that tonight," Bell said.

Travelling Moleskine
A little while ago Katie passed me this Traveling Moleskine. There are a fair few of them knocking around all with various themes, this one with the theme Crafty… So i set to work creating a special tweedy felt monster. He actually turned out quite nicely, and i'm thinking that technique might work really well on a bag or cushion or tshirt maybe ? Anyway, i've been meaning to blog this for ages. I'll pop some images on flickr too so you can see the details. You can just see the reverse side there of Katie's wonderful paper embroidery. Very nice! And i'm excited to see what the next recipient, my old mate Jaypeg, will do to her page :) You can read more about the project over at Culture Vulture. ANd you can peek inside some of the other moleskine's here.

FOLLOWING huge success in the West End and now Broadway, the National Theatre production of War Horse is coming to The Lowry next year.
In what willl be the longest run of any show at the Salford Quays theatre, War Horse tells the powerful and uplifting story of young Albert, and his beloved horse Joey, set in the bloody battlefields of The First World War.
"War Horse is an astonishing piece of drama and we are incredibly proud to be staging the North West premiere of War Horse in 2013," said the Lowry's artistic director, Robert Robson.
War Horse isn't the only outstanding drama from the National Theatre that will be gracing the Lyric stage next year.
Broadway hit One Man, Two Guvnors, starring Rufus Hound and Lancashire's Jodie Prenger, makes a triumphant return following a sell-out season at The Lowry in 2011.
Richard Bean's award-winning play is a glorious celebration of British comedy: A laugh-out loud mix of satire, songs, slapstick and one-liners.
In the Galleries, the theatre will celebrate the 80th birthday of the Godfather of Pop Art, Peter Blake.
Blake worked with some of the 20th Century's biggest musical stars, including Elvis Presley and The Beatles, famously co-creating the legendary cover for Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
This fascinating exhibition, Peter Blake and Pop Music, is a compelling tribute to one of Britian's most important artists.
There is a wide range of events lined up at the Lowry for its new season from January, offering dance, music and comedy of the highest standard.
Sleeping Beauty On Ice is a sparkling theatrical experience to thrill and enchant audiences of all ages. Featuring the Imperial Ice Stars, the world's leading performers of theatrical ice dance, this production is set to Tchaikovsky's classical score.
Woody Sez brings together American folk legend Woody Guthrie's life, songs and political activism to create a portrait of a true American hero in this entertaining musical.
If it is a 1960s night of wigs, hats and dancing you want, then the West End's favourite comedy, Hairspray, is the one for you – featuring X Factor 2011 runner up Marcus Collins as Seaweed Stubbs There is plenty of powerful drama at The Lowry too. Rutherford and Son, directed by Sir Jonathan Miller, is set in the North of England and is an unflinching portrayal of an industrial Edwardian family on the brink of collapse.
The Christians, who enjoyed chart success with Ideal World, kick-start the theatre's live music programme, which also includes prog-rock heavyweights Caravan and veteran folksters Fairport Convention.

Topic: This and That
Clare I want you to know your picture (avatar) did not go unnoticed! You are uh, I want to say ADORABLE! I think it is so much fun to see what everyone looks like. I always try to guess how they will look. I was actually close about you in my mind but pictured shorter hair. You are terrific.
Next: I am wondering if many of you have ONCs who require you to come to their office after a Scan/MRI/PET is done to get the results or do your ONCs tell you over the phone the results. My newbie, I found out today requires the patients come in. I am glad I called as I had my CTA last Wed. and have been waiting for results. She had planned on the discussion August 30th at my next apt! I couldn't believe it!
Last: It's been a sad today as my Grandson was going to be a Daddy in February and my little Beda ( I call her that, it's Sicilian for beautiful) lost the baby at midnight last night. Would have been my 1st Great Grandchild. Now the angel is with it's Great Papa. There will be more!

IT lives to solve problems, but we techies can do without the frustration of ironing out issues that could have been avoided if people had taken the time to document their systems' workings. I've run into many of these situations during my IT career, such as this three-ring circus that should have been a simple phone fix.
The company in question had only one IT employee -- whose background, it turned out, was in a different field and qualified as "IT" in only the most basic sense. Thus, I was hired as a consultant to come in once a month or so to take care of computer, printer, or network glitches. Little did I know I'd get caught up in a bigger task than my title would suggest.
[ Take a walk on tech's lighter side with America's funniest IT stories. | Get your weekly dose of workplace shenanigans by following Off the Record on Twitter and subscribing to the Off the Record newsletter. ]
One day, the office manager asked me to take a look at the phone system -- employees had been having problems with dropped calls and busy signals. The company hadn't transitioned to much of a Web presence yet, so it did most of its business by telephone and bulk mailings.
I found out that the office manager, rather than the IT-in-name-only person, was in charge of the phone system. The office manager hadn't made any changes to the phone system because she was worried she'd break something. She also hadn't called the vendor in years because the last time a tech had come out to fix a problem, it cost a lot of money. Furthermore, she didn't trust that the vendor had given good recommendations in the past.
She thought that since I could maintain the computer systems maybe I could fix the phone issues, too. I didn't share her confidence, but decided to take a look. The company was paying me by the hour, and my fee was cheaper than the vendor's.
I took a look at the PBX, and in the course of checking its specifications, I was quite surprised to discover its handling capabilities. Intended for 10 users, with a ceiling for 25, the system had a maximum of eight concurrent lines for both inbound and outbound calls, as well as voicemail checks. Considering the company had grown to a little more than 100 employees -- a sharp increase from the five users at the start of business two decades earlier -- it was no wonder there were so many busy signals.
I reported back that the firm was using the PBX way beyond its intended capacity and would need to upgrade. I recommended a move to a VoIP system -- still relatively new then -- and I would help work with a vendor to port the system. I found a capable vendor, and the company agreed on the upgrade.
I was a bit nervous at first, because prior to this I had never used a VoIP system. But I was pleasantly surprised when the upgrade went smoothly. We ported all the numbers over, at the same time keeping some analog lines should the VoIP system go down. The new system had 16 concurrent lines, which seemed to resolve the issues with busy signals and dropped calls, and it allowed the company to add capacity in the future.

It's only Dec. 1, and already, the question has arrived ...
"What do you want for Christmas, Terri?"
I hear those words, and inevitably, my head begins to swim. What do I want for Christmas? The word, "Nothing," usually floats out of my mouth without any thinking involved. Really ... I don't need anything, and if I want something, I've probably already gone out and bought it ... short of that Mercedes convertible that dances in my head like a sugarplum of days gone by.
Needless to say, my Christmas list is far shorter than it was when I was a girl growing up on a farm north of Princeton. From the time the Sears Roebuck Wish Book arrived through Dec. 24, I'd add item after item to the list, which comprised several pages of a spiral-bound notebook. I'd also circle every item I thought I had to have in the catalogue. It was just what we did.
From the time I actually understood about Christmas and the gifts that would arrive, the word "PONY" always led the list. Yep ... I wanted a pony, and I knew I would get one. Every year after the Christmas stockings had been emptied, I'd find myself grabbing my winter coat and boots and slipping out of the old farmhouse by myself. I'd head straight to the barn, where I just knew that pony would be hiding ... It never was. Instead, the Etch-A-Sketch under the tree would have to do.
When I was about 8 or 9 and finally was smart enough to realize the pony wasn't coming to Rural Route 2, Princeton, the first thing on my list changed to "MOCCASINS." OK, I know that's a bit nutty, but years ago, there was a Stuckey's along the interstate in Peru, and we used to beg to stop there. Occasionally, Grandpa would pull the old, green Chevy into Stuckey's, and I'd spend the whole time looking at their leather moccasins. It was a place in time when the word "Indian" was still politically correct, and for some reason, I felt like a pair of moccasins would be the perfect gift. Like the pony ... they never came, but the red rubber boots under the tree were probably much more appropriate for a kid who could find every puddle or snowbank in Bureau County.
Moccasins led my list until I was about 12, when all my friends were getting 10-speed bikes. "10 Speed" then topped my list, but it was ignored. After all, there was nothing wrong with that purple Stingray bike with the banana seat and the tall handlebars. Instead, I got new underwear, socks and gloves.
At the age of 15, I was too old to make a list, but I made my wish well known anyway. That coveted driver's license was about to find its way into my purse, and I needed my own car. I told everyone and anyone who would listen ... clearly another pipe dream, yet on Christmas morning — not unlike the pony days, I'd find myself donning my winter coat and heading to the garage ... just knowing I'd find a car with a huge bow on top. All I found was our old car, a splash of oil on the garage floor which was dripping from the engine of the family vehicle, and a set of jumper cables.
As I look back, I can't help but smile at my Christmas wishes. Like those sugarplums dancing in the heads of children across the nation at this time of year, I, too, believed those gifts would find their way into my world. But we were much too poor, much too practical for any of those presents. Underwear, games, socks, dolls ... but no pony, 10 speed, moccasins or new car for Terri.
Many years have passed since those pipe dream days, and as I consider an answer to that age old question of what I want for Christmas ... well, let's just say I've grown up quite a bit. What I really want is good health for myself, my family and friends. I want time — lots of time — face time with those I love. I want smiles and laughter — generated by myself and seen/heard from family and friends. I don't need anything with a bow or ribbon — I just need my family and friends next to me ... it's as simple as that.
And just an FYI ... that pony, that 10 speed bike, and that new car eventually found their way to me (OK, I bought the car myself many years later, but nevertheless, I got one.) But as for those moccasins? Well, Mom ... I'm still waiting!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/6/2013 (1532 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Finally, after the seemingly endless posturing from officials, after the numerous false starts regarding location, funding and construction calendar, Investors Group Field is ready for some football.
And though a brand new chapter of Winnipeg Blue Bombers football won't officially kick off until the 2013 CFL regular season opener later this month — June 27 is when the games really matter — this won't take away any of the shine tonight's stadium gridiron christening provides.
Forget about traditional exhibition exercises: the evaluation aspect of this pre-season contest with the Toronto Argonauts won't fall between the lines. Instead, judgments and grades made by the fans in attendance will be handed out on the new $200-million stadium at the University of Manitoba.
If anticipation is any measure in this initial football fan experience, Investors Group Field should pass the test with flying shades of Blue and Gold.
"I'm expecting my socks to be blown off," Chris Godfried said two hours before the scheduled 7 p.m. kickoff (CJOB 680). "We've been waiting for two years for this to be built. I'm almost expecting miracles to happen inside.
"I'm looking forward to Winnipeg finally being on the map, with (the city) finally keeping up with modern times, and actually having a (stadium) to be proud of."
Carly Duncan held her expectations in check. She's looking forward to taking in the action from her seat in Section 124.
"I think it's going to be just like St. James, but the fans will be a little louder," she stated, "and we're all going to forget the fact that this day was a year late."
As people made their way into the area late this afternoon, crews were still applying some last-minute touches to the facility and the surrounding grounds. One crew was working on the sod in front of the building, while a Manitoba Hydro cherry-picker was parked close by, installing a new street lamp on Chancellor Matheson Road.
On the north side of the building, workers were frantically installing a chain-link fence around the perimeter, to help keep curious trespassers at bay.
These little finishes will hardly matter once everyone is inside.
"I'm worse than the kids, I needed to come here early. We took a look inside when we picked up our season tickets last week but it's a little different coming on a game day," said Cory Hume, who drove in from Carberry.
"Today was my last day of school and I could barely focus on my exam, that's how excited I am about this day. It's a good thing for the province. It's something everyone should be proud of."
How the crowd noise bounces off the signature trusses and canopies (it's expected the sound will amplify much louder than it did at Canad Inns Stadium) is what many of the fans were looking forward to experiencing this evening, but Hume had a different focus.
"The bigger seats," he said. "Sitting up on those benches and those seats in the old place, I'm not going to miss that at all."
As all this was going on, Brian Dobie sat on at the top of the steps in front of the stadium and chowed down on a couple hot dogs he purchased from a nearby cart.
The Manitoba Bisons football head coach was so excited to see a football game at Investors Group Field he stopped in earlier in the afternoon to sneak a peek through one of the gates, seeing a handful of Blue Bombers front-office staff and executives huddled at midfield participating in a group high-five.
This is what a new home does. It creates a sense of pride.
"The sense of team in this project has been incredible," offered Dobie, whose Bisons begin play in the new digs this fall. "This is a significant day for the Bombers and for myself. Even though we're not playing tonight, this means so much to our program and our players.
"It means so much to everyone involved."

Lions Head to NCAA Tournament with Two All-Conference Honors
SAINT LEO, Fla. – As the Lions prepare to take on the field in the NCAA Tournament, the Saint Leo women's golf team was honored with some additional hardware as Heather Petronis was named the Sunshine State Conference's Freshman of the Year and senior Jordan Hatch earned an All-SSC Second Team nod. Petronis was also named an Honorable Mention in the All-SSC team voting.
Earning the well-deserved honor after a tremendous rookie campaign, Petronis shot a 3-under-69 in the NIU Invitational and set the program mark for lowest round by a single player, a feat which capped an impressive first season. She posted two tournament wins, one in the Flagler Fall Slam and the other in the NIU Snowbird Invite. The Northfield, N.J. native looks to carry her 23 round, 79.78 stroke average into the super regional.
Leading the Lions in 2010-11, senior Jordan Hatch played in 23 rounds this season maintaining a 77.21 stroke average as she has claimed a tournament win at the Inaugural Pinehurst Challenge in March. The win came alongside an impressive showing by the entire team in the tournament played at the iconic Pinehurst National Golf Club in North Carolina. In only two years in the Green and Gold, the South Beloit, Ill. native finished her 2010-11 regular season with three top-5 finishes and five top-10 results.
Conference-wide, a total of twelve student-athletes were named to the 2011 All-Sunshine State Conference Women's Golf Team. In addition to Petronis' honor, Nova Southeastern's Sandra Changkija was selected the Golfer of the Year for the second straight season. Florida Southern's Robbie Davis and Nova Southeastern's Kevin Marsh shared Coach of the Year honors.
Changkija was joined on the All-SSC first-team by Florida Southern's Marianne Andersson, M.J. Audette and Emily Flanigan. Her NSU teammate, Taylor Collins, also received a first-team nod.
In addition to Hatch, selected as all-conference second team members were: Joanna Coe (Rollins), Abbey Gittings (Nova Southeastern), Fabia Rothenfluh (Rollins), and Nicole Whitmore (Nova Southeastern).
Petronis and Florida Tech's Jessica Hook received honorable mention.
Voting for the all-conference team was conducted among the league's women's golf coaches and sports information directors.
With the Freshman of the Year award, Petronis becomes the fifth Saint Leo rookie student-athlete to take home the honor for the Lions in 2010-11.

HOUSTON - Houston police and federal agents took 28 people into custody Thursday at a southeast Houston house that was being used as an illegal immigrant stash house.
Police were called to the home in the 8500 block of Glenaire Street and Glenbrae around 3 a.m. by concerned parents. They said their 20-year-old, who was transported across the boarder illegally by a smuggler, was in danger.
The parents told investigators they agreed on a sum of money before the transport, but the smugglers, also known as coyotes, raised the price. The coyote said if the parents were not able to come up with the money, the 20-year-old would be harmed. They did not have the money and called police.
When police arrived at the home, they found people stashed in cabinets, showers, and under beds -- anywhere there was space to hide.
Investigators placed 25 suspected illegal immigrants -- 21 males, two females and two male juveniles -- in handcuffs. Officials said they are from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.
Three males were taken into custody as suspected smugglers.
U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are working to identify everyone and confirm their immigration statuses.
Police said one suspected immigrant suffered minor injuries while trying to run from officers on the scene.
"One of the suspects fleeing the location attacked one of our officers. He did receive minor injuries from that fight. He is OK. He is also looking at possible assault on a peace officer for that," said Chris Hassig of the Houston Police Department.
A neighbor who did not want to be identified said he had no idea all of those people were living next door.
"I actually only see one or two guys, a guy in a pickup that's in and out like he's going to work daily, but really nothing unusual," he said.

what is the native database of frontlinesms
Views: 134
Hi Abdoulaye DIUENG,
FrontlineSMS is a java based app. If you are asking where the database is stored - then the answer is "locally" on your C drive [once you have downloaded the app].
If I have misunderstood your question, please do give us further details so that I can be of more help!
Kavita \o/
thank you kavita
I want to know that if the native database of Frontlinesms is xml type or sqlite or another?
Hi Abdoulaye Diueng,
It has been mentioned on the forum before in this discussion that although previous versions of FrontlineSMS have used sqlite, Versions 1.6 on is on h2 database. I hope this is helpful. Please let us know if you need any further information.
thank you very much Flo

AN artist couple and their three daughters are spending the week welcoming creative youngsters to their temporary home – a studio at Firstsite.
Norwich-based artists Lawrence Bradby and Anna Townley are offering family activities from the venue's learning studios during the day, and sleeping there in two tents at night.
Mr Bradby said: "We have a master bedroom, and the youngest sleeps in here with us.
"The eldest and middle children share a tent. All three children share a room at home so it's not too different.
"The shower is all the way over in the office, so that's a significant walk.
"It's very quiet. Your footsteps echo in the building and you have this other experience of the paintings – it's not a gallery experience, it's a private collector's experience."
Twice a day, their temporary home has been thrown open for some creative family activities.
Long pieces of wood, screws, bolts and hammers were provided to create a den, a tent or whatever youngsters set their mind to.
On display on Tuesday afternoon was a makeshift, but sturdy tent put together by a family earlier that morning.
Meanwhile, a group of children, aged six to nine, from Lexden Lodge kindergarten's summer holiday club, were working out what to create.
Manager Amanda Smith said: "We've never done this before – we're always looking for different places to take the children that will stimulate their brain cells.
"They've enjoyed it so far and it's nice for them to build on a larger scale.
"They did find the living arrangements quite novel."
Mr Bradby said he found the varying ways parents taught, looked after and generally interacted with their children very interesting.
He added: "It's been good. It is a lot more involved than some other activities and it leads to more collaboration between members of the family."
Sessions end on Saturday. Visit firstsite.uk.net for information.

Calling 811 Before You Dig Can Save Lives
Washington, D.C. - America s natural gas utilities urge you to call 811 before you dig. A utility line is damaged by digging once every three minutes nationwide. One-third of these incidents are caused by failure to call 811 before beginning a digging project.
You can help keep yourself and your community safe by calling 811 to have the underground utility lines marked before you begin any project, said Dave McCurdy, President and CEO of the American Gas Association. Delivering clean natural gas to our customers safely and reliably is our industry s number one priority. The natural gas industry has worked diligently with other stakeholders to implement this throughout the country and we need homeowners and professional excavators to do their part to keep the public safe by calling 811. There is no cost and it could save a life.
Striking a single line can cause injury, repair costs, fines and outages. Every digging project - even small projects like installing a mailbox, building a deck or planting a tree or garden - warrants a call to 811.
When calling 811, the individual is automatically connected to the local one-call center which collects information about the digging project. The one-call center then transmits this information to the appropriate utility companies who will send representatives to mark the locations of underground lines in the immediate vicinity of the planned work location. Additional information can be found at http://www.call811.com/
This April marks the fifth annual National Safe Digging Month, an initiative put in place by the Common Ground Alliance (CGA) to remind professionals and homeowners of the importance of following safe digging procedures. AGA has been a proud sponsor of the CGA ever since its inception in 2000. AGA member utilities are committed to promoting safe digging practices to help ensure public safety.
The Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act which became law at the beginning of this year, contains a strong incentive for states to remove current one call exemptions, requiring all entities that excavate around pipelines to call 811 before they dig.
AGA praised the unanimous and bipartisan support for this legislation and AGA s members were fully engaged throughout the process to make sure a strong, safe and smart bill was developed. America s natural gas utilities are working with federal and state regulators to ensure that our distribution and transmission system continues to be the safest and most reliable method of delivering energy in the nation.

|This article describes a concept which could impact a variety of companies, countries or industries. To see what companies and articles reference this concept page, click here.
Docsis is a technology that increases internet download speeds over existing cable TV lines by selectively sending TV channels to viewers as they request them, rather than broadcasting all station signals to everyone at once. The newest version of the standard, Docsis 3.0, can hit speeds of 160 Mbps, although the fastest speed currently sold is a 50 Mbps system by Comcast. [1] Traditional DSL which has a speed of 1.5 Mbps.[2]
Demand for internet bandwith and the capacity to support triple play options has spawned two competing ultra high speed internet technologies - Docsis 3.0, which runs over cable television lines, and Fiber to the Premises which delivers high speed internet through fiber optic cables strung directly to the home. Docsis 3.0 is a relatively new technology. It was developed in late 2006 by CableLabs, but it was first released by Comcast in April, 2008. [3] CableLabs is a non-profit R&D organization that created and oversees the Docsis technology. CableLabs must certify cable modems to be used in Docsis systems and must also qualify cable modem termination sytems (CMTS). Withouth a respective certification or qualification, a company cannot develop products for Docsis. The first qualifications were given to Casa Systems, Arris, and Cisco in December 2007 for their CMTS products. [4] The first certification for cable modems were given out to Arris, Cisco, Motorola, and SMC Networks Inc. [5]
Comcast: Comcast was the first cable company to offer Docsis 3.0 when it launched in April, 2008 . Comcast is competing mainly with both FiOS and U-Verse, which use Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) technology. In markets where FiOS is present, Comcast is deploying its 50 Mbps system for a price of $150/month. [6] However, because U-Verse delivers a speed of 10 Mbps [7], Comcast is delivering a 16 Mbps product in areas with only U-Verse. In comparison, FiOS costs $140/month in most areas, while U-Verse costs $100/month. [8] Comcast plans to offer 50 Mbp to its entire customer base by 2010.
Time Warner Cable: Time Warner Cable plans to launch their own Docsis 3.0 system by 2009. [9]
Review by Joseph Alegre for Rating: I bought this modem the other day bauecse I felt my old SB5101 modem was not optimized for speed. I have a regular DOCSIS 2.0 service through Comcast. The modem made a huge impression on me after it was installed. The download and upload increased around 20 percent. The amazing thing is that this modem squeeze extra bandwidth out of your existing service (weather you have a standard basic megabyte connection or the newer DOCSIS 3.0 service high speed connection). The noticeable difference was the latency speed of the connection. When I click on a link on a web page, the page loads up as soon as the link is clicked. My old SB5101 modem would take a few extra milliseconds to load. What does this mean? If you play video games like Halo 3 via X-box or Call of duty, you will have a reaction time advantage against your competition. The clear negative of this product is that it takes longer to boot-up. If you power cycle the modem or if your internet service provider resets the modem, it will take two minutes to restart. It will take Comcast longer to recognize the modem when you call in to give the Mac address bauecse when they reset the modem remotely, it will take two minutes for the modem to initialize. Once it is online it performs flawlessly. Anyone that buys this modem will benefit from the extra tweaks it has regardless if the are using a basic or super high speed internet service.VA:F [1.9.13_1145](from 0 votes)

This document describes one reason that the Cisco Media Blender fails to establish a connection with the Cisco Collaboration Server and provides a solution in a Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management (ICM) Enterprise environment.
Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of these topics:
Cisco Unified ICM Enterprise Edition
Cisco Collaboration Server
Cisco Media Blender
The information in this document is based on Cisco Unified ICM Enterprise Edition version 5.x and later.
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
Refer to Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions.
The Collaboration Server is an application that provides Contact Centers with the ability to handle web-initiated requests. The Collaboration Server allows Contact Center agents to share information with customers over the web. This includes web pages, forms, and applications. At the same time, the Collaboration Server uses nothing more than a common web browser in order to conduct a voice conversation or text chat.
The Media Blender works with the Collaboration Server in order to provide a blended collaboration and a callback. The Media Blender provides a firewall gateway service to allow communication between the Collaboration Server, which resides outside the firewall, and the Unified ICM peripheral gateway (PG), which is inside the firewall.
A descriptive Collaboration Server and Media Blender in the Multi-Channel Contact Center is illustrated in Figure 1.Figure 1—Collaboration Server and Media Blender in the Multi-Channel Contact Center
The Media Blender is configured to connect with the Collaboration Server via Remote Method Invocation (RMI) on port 1099 (see arrow A in Figure 1). However, the connection request fails to establish through the firewall.
In the log from the Media Blender, this entry is identified:
06/30/2006 15:28:46.755 ERROR ERROR common.2 LegacyError com.cisco.io.net.rmi.RmiDriver Authenticate "RmiDriver: rmi://172.16.246.75:1099/CCS_CMB_Connection_CCS_BAPI" "java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 192.168.9.180; nested exception is: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect" - Legacy error: null
This log entry means there is no socket connection established. These are the possible reasons:
Server is behind the firewall
Server is down
Server has multiple IP addresses
If the server is behind the firewall, it needs an externally known IP address which is defined in the vmoptions file as this:
Thus, when a client connects to a server via Network Address Translation (NAT), the RMI connection uses the externally known IP address instead of the local address in order to identify itself to the client.
You need to change the vmoptions file on the Collaboration Server in order to solve the problem. Complete these steps:
Go to C:\Program Files\New Atlanta\ServletExec ISAPI\ServletExec in order to find the vmoptions file.
Enter the java.rmi.server.hostname line (see arrow A in Figure 2).Figure 2—Vmoptions
Restart the Internet Information Services (IIS) and the World Wide Web (WWW) on the Collaboration Server in order for this change to take effect.

Report: Microsoft to Put Windows Phone Chief in Charge of All OS Development
Jason Mick
July 3, 2013 3:46 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: Techcetera)
Shakeup will consolidate previously separate units, reportedly
A report
cites sources at Microsoft Corp. (
) as saying that Chief Executive
Steve Ballmer's leadership change
will start be consolidating all of Microsoft's hardware products -- including Surface and Xbox -- under a single new unit, which would be headed by Windows chief Julie Larson-Green.
The Xbox unit (formally the interactive entertainment division) had been left leaderless after Don Mattrick, its former chief, jumped ship to
become CEO of Zynga
Inc. (
). Some reports suggested Mr. Mattrick was fired for making comments about digital rights management (DRM) and the Xbox One. In an interview Mr. Mattrick had told gamers who didn't have 100 percent reliable internet to
not buy an Xbox One
, a suggestion many disgruntled gamers took to heart. Microsoft eventually
backed down from that policy
Microsoft's CIO Tony Scott
also recently bailed, prior to the upcoming shakeup.
It is unclear whether Mr. Ballmer would then appoint a new Windows President, or if Ms. Larson-Green would fill both slots. One source says that Terry Myerson -- the current Windows Phone chief -- will likely be put in charge of all operating system development, including desktop Windows. That move would likely mean a continuation of Microsoft's "Metro" (aka Modern UI) assault on the desktop/laptop market, much to the chagrin of critics of that design direction.

Marketing for various units (Windows, server, hardware, etc.) would also be consolidated into a single unit, which would be headed by Tami Reller, who currently is marketing chief for just the Windows unit. Another shift from a financial perspective would be that the chief financial officers (CFOs) of the new units would report directly to company CFO -- Amy Hood -- versus the current situation the CFOs the present units report to their unit chief.
Julie Larson-Green will reportedly manage all Microsoft HW development. [Image Source: AP]
A final new unit would be tasked with managing acquired/merged-in businesses and with wooing developers. That unit will be headed by Skype president Tony Bates.
Sources say the exact roles are still being finalized and may be shuffled before an official announcement comes. Overall the changes are designed to reposition Microsoft as a "devices and services" firm, Microsoft's long term vision. The shift towards first party hardware and cloud services would make Microsoft look a lot more like Apple, Inc. (
), a radical shift for a company that started off with a narrow focus on software.
"This is about the Internet. Everything on the Internet is encrypted. This is not a BlackBerry-only issue. If they can't deal with the Internet, they should shut it off." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

Title: Double Major; Media Studies, Journalism and Digital Arts and Spanish
Jeanmarie 364. It's a windowless room where I do all my work. When I have a lot of work to do on the weekend it's easier if I don't know what I'm missing out on outside.
I thought I couldn't learn much more than what I did in high school, but at St. Mike's, I've had these difficult classes where there's so much more material. But then you step up to the challenge. It's just a matter of seeing that you're capable of doing way more than you originally thought.
I'm president of the Bike Club and we're running a new bike-share program and a mechanic shop on the weekends so I can help fix students' bikes.
I got involved in summer research when I was invited as one of Professor Jo Ellis Monaghan's Calculus III students to work with her over the summer. I worked with Nate Hodge to creating prisms that can be built out of DNA, trying to minimize the amount of different "tiles", to keep the cost and complexity down. It's cool to see my research being directly applied to something.
I ski, rock climb and bike, but biking is my favorite thing to do. That's how I relax and spend my free time. I started bike racing two years ago and won the last race I as in!
The way the classes are run. I've experienced the much larger classes at UVM, and professors there can't focus as much on the individual students. Here, it's a completely different atmosphere where the professors are much more invested students' success. It's a more personal relationship.

Reacting to Haley Barbour's quip that the liberal media has given President Obama "the longest wet kiss in political history" after last week's passage of ObamaCare, Ed Schultz made clear on MSNBC this morning that he feels President Obama deserves it for all the fierce criticism he and Democrats faced during the months of debate over the legislation.
The MSNBC host and liberal radio talker was interviewed by colleague David Shuster shortly after 10:30 a.m. EDT today.
Shuster introduced the segment with a clip of the Mississippi Republican governor's quip on the March 28 edition of ABC's "This Week" and went briefly over some polling data before asking for Schultz's thoughts [MP3 audio here]:
DAVID SHUSTER, MSNBC host: Ed, is it smart for the president to be talking about health care and the implementation [of it] instead of immediately moving on to jobs and the economy?
ED SCHULTZ, MSNBC host: No, I think you got to close the deal with the American people. Just because it's signed, sealed and delivered legislatively, David. The big thing now [is] the president has to go out and combat the kind of things that were said yesterday by Lindsay Graham, who says that it's a lie, that it's not a deficit-reduction package, it's a Ponzi scheme.
This is going to be an ongoing process by the White House and the president himself to take authorship [sic] of this and sell it to the American people, that this has been the biggest legislative lift in this country in 50 years, and he should get a big wet kiss. Because all the negativity that the president's had to put up with, and Democrats, for the last year. Trying to get the Republicans into the fold to do something on health care. It's time to go out and tell the story about what has really happened.
Not everybody pays attention to the news the way we do and the way some people do, but the fact is [that] those novice voters and those novice news consumers out there now are going to be paying attention to the president and they're going to want to see results.
Schultz later puckered up to the prez by insisting that "as a small businessperson, I can tell you that this administration has done more when it comes to small business than any administration inside of 18 months of starting up." What's more, Schultz played fortune teller by forecasting "an uptick in jobs" over the next few months that would help to boost President Obama's approval rating by November to "at least a 57, 58 percent approval rating."

Following a glowing review in the NYTimes, we decided to check out Ngam, the new neighborhood source for "modern Thai comfort food" spot on East 13th Street and 3rd Avenue. We went for the gold and decided to dive in and try the branzino plate. The fish, served whole (minus bones), came filled with Thai basil, wild ginger, and green peppercorns. It was delicious! We will definitely return to try the rest of the menu. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.

A Government ombudsman will look into claims that Bradford Council's handling of two major planning applications for houses on fields in Menston was a "shambles".
The Menston Action Group (MAG) had reported the handling of the applications, one by Taylor Wimpey for 135 houses on Bingley Road and another by Barratt Homes for 173 houses off Derry Hill, to the Local Government Ombudsman late last year.
They claimed the authority's Regulatory and Appeals Committee had failed to give the applications proper consideration before approving them after a five hour meeting in April last year.
Among their complaints are claims a report they had commissioned for £25,000 that showed the site was a flood risk was not shown to members of the committee before their vote, and that councillors didn't even get off a bus during a visit to the site, half way through the meeting.
The group has now been told the complaint has been passed onto the investigation team at the Ombudsman's office, and an inspector will soon be allocated.
Shipley MP Philip Davies has backed them in their campaign, and is so angry at the applications being approved he is pushing for a Parliamentary debate on the issue.
Dr Steve Ellams, chair of MAG, said: "Philip Davies has backed us and asked for a full investigation in the House of Commons. I don't think the Council will be able to refute the evidence we have passed onto the Ombudsman.
"The whole process has been wrong from the start."
He said councillors the group had spoken to claimed they were pressured into approving the applications due to the threat of appeal, and MAG have also written to the council's solicitors to call for an internal investigation into the committee's conduct.
Mr Davies said: "I think the group has an incredibly strong case and there are some serious questions about how Bradford Council has handled the process and applications generally.
"They seem to have operated on the basis that the land will be built on come hell or high water, no matter what objectors say.
"I hope the investigation finds favour with the complainants.
"I've been trying to secure a debate in Parliament about this issue, I keep trying to secure a debate but it is up to the speaker's discretion. I will continue to apply for a debate on this issue – that's how serious my concerns are. It has been a shambles."
A spokesman for Bradford Council said they would be unable to comment on the issue until the investigation was complete.
The Local Government Ombudsman office confirmed they were looking at the complaint, but would not be able to comment further.

Barnard's Africana studies program, the multidisciplinary study of Africa and the Black Diaspora, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and recently joined the American studies and women's, gender and sexuality studies departments to make up the Consortium for Critical Interdisciplinary Studies (CCIS), a collaborative exploration of race and ethnicity, along with gender, class, and nation.
After Kim F. Hall, professor of English, who holds the Lucyle Hook Chair, and professor of Africana studies, came to Barnard in 2006 with a mandate to strengthen the multifaceted program, she worked together with former provost and dean of faculty Elizabeth S. Boylan to do a cluster hire—bringing in tenured faculty who would strengthen the Africana studies program and make a lasting impact on the College.
The three new faculty members—Professor Tina Campt, who took over from Hall as director of Africana studies, Professor Yvette Christiansë, and Associate Professor Celia E. Naylor—arrived at Barnard in the fall of 2010. In addition to being renowned scholars and dedicated teachers, they have established new courses of study not previously part of the curriculum.
Although her career in academics had taken Hall to several prestigious institutions—University of Pennsylvania, Swarthmore College, Georgetown University, and Fordham University—she had always wanted to teach at a women's college because she attended one as an undergraduate. Her academic focus includes black feminism, critical race theory, slavery and depictions of race in literature. She is currently working on a book about the sugar trade in seventeenth-century England from the perspective of literary analysis. "Barnard students are phenomenal," says Hall, who also teaches courses in women's, gender and sexuality studies. "The Africana students are so hungry for an interdisciplinary and transnational approach to their education. They bring spark to the classes.
When Hall joined the Barnard faculty, the College was looking for a sense of direction for Africana studies. Because it is a program and not a department, faculty members were often doing a delicate balancing act between their roles in Africana studies and the departments through which they had or sought tenure. "There seemed to be an agreement that we needed more tenured faculty and more faculty who had contractual responsibilities to Africana studies," Hall says. "The year I got here Liz Boylan started that process by writing into faculty contracts that there would be some teaching responsibility for Africana studies where applicable."
Hall wrote the proposal for the cluster hire. Professor Janet Jakobsen, director of the Barnard Center for Research on Women, reconfigured the Difficult Dialogues Faculty Development Seminar to focus on Africana gender studies. This provided the funds and space to identify potential candidates and informally bring them to campus.
The fields of the three new instructors complement each other and work well with the existing teaching staff. Women's, gender and sexuality studies, history and English—the tenure homes for the three—participated in the hiring process. It was vitally important to Hall that each had a genuine passion for teaching undergraduates. "We have a really vibrant community [as well as] people who are working together and willing to get behind a vision for Africana studies. In terms of gender and African Diaspora, we now have pretty much the strongest faculty in the country," affirms Hall.
During her interview with Barnard President Debora Spar, Tina Campt told a story about her first time on the campus nearly three decades earlier. "I applied to Barnard and got in. It was my top choice," she says. "I came for the prospectives weekend. I walked into Barnard Hall and I burst into tears because I thought this was too big a city. I ended up calling my godmother who lived in Queens and saying, 'Come and get me.'"
Campt opted for Vassar and then earned a master's and doctorate in history from Cornell University. Before coming to Barnard, she taught at Duke University, the University of California Santa Cruz, and the Technical University of Berlin. Although her training is in history, she has always taught in interdisciplinary programs. Today, she takes great delight in the fact that her office is on the second floor of Barnard Hall overlooking those once intimidating front gates.
Campt participated in the Difficult Dialogues seminar and discussed the research that informs her new book, Image Matters: Archive, Photography and the African Diaspora in Europe, which centers on family photography of black Europeans in the first half of the twentieth century. "That was my first experience sitting around the table with art historians, religious-studies scholars, African Diaspora scholars, American-studies scholars and gender scholars all together," she recalls. "Among liberal-arts colleges, Barnard is leading the way in trying to cultivate scholarship and scholarly communities that are not just within departments, but that give the liberal-arts education a different way of reaching and training students."
She loves the curiosity and creativity of Barnard students and embraces the challenge of explaining why something is not only important but also relevant. Most of her courses involve gender and the African Diaspora. Campt finds the faculty interaction of CCIS incredibly enlightening. "We get to combine our research strengths with our teaching in a way that allows us to collaborate with other scholars and learn from them," Campt says.
Associate Professor of History Celia E. Naylor is a historian whose courses include "Introduction to African-American History," "Black Feminism(s)/Womanism(s) and 'Black Sexual Politics' in Contemporary U.S. Popular Culture," and "Introduction to the African Diaspora." She authored the book African Cherokees in Indian Territory: From Chattel to Citizens.
Naylor started her undergraduate studies at Cornell University wanting to be the first African-American female astronaut, but Dr. Mae Jemison occupied that position, and Naylor shifted her passion to focus on African-American history. A master's degree in Afro-American studies at UCLA and a master's and doctorate in history at Duke University followed.
Before arriving at Morningside Heights, she taught at Dartmouth College for eight years. (She is excited for her 11-year-old daughter to experience life in an urban setting.) Naylor credits Hall and her vision for the future of Africana studies at Barnard for the inspiration to apply for the position. "I think it really interesting and innovative that Africana studies incorporates so many different disciplines," says Naylor. "It's exciting to think about how these students are getting not only a foundation that incorporates race, gender, class, and sexuality, but also really tangible, palpable illustrations and understandings of the complexities and nuances of these issues."
She also likes to watch the awakening to ideas that takes place in her introductory course. "Whenever we start talking about the narrative of history—who's included, who's excluded, and the reasons why—you often see students reflecting on what they thought they should have known," says Naylor, who encourages her students to be engaged in the Harlem community.
The interaction with other faculty in CCIS has helped Naylor explore ideologies and concepts from new perspectives. "It's almost like every morning I wake up and think, 'Am I really here?'" she says. "Being able to interact with young women who are excited, who are interesting, who are really engaged in the classroom experience, but also interested in looking beyond the gates of Barnard and seeing what New York City has to offer, and even more broadly, the world: It's wonderful."
Professor of English and Africana Studies Yvette Christiansë brought to Barnard subjects beyond the sphere of influence of Europe and the Americas, which Hall felt was lacking. Born in South Africa during apartheid and educated at the University of Sydney, Christiansë is an award-winning author of poetry and fiction. She has taught at prestigious universities in the United States, including Princeton and Fordham, and in South Africa. "I love the size of Barnard. I love the commitment to the students," says Christiansë. "That's what I find joyous.
"We've been able to develop absolutely cutting-edge curricula for the students, particularly in the global context," she adds. "The kind of international programs that we're encouraged to do are just breathtaking." This spring semester, Christiansë is co-teaching the interdisciplinary course "Africana Issues: Narrating Indian Ocean Africa" with Professor Isabel Hofmeyr of the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. The two classrooms are connected via live-stream video technology and the students are encouraged to not only interact, but also blog about their experiences. Read more about Christiansë's intercontinental course.
"We're looking at what I think is an often neglected part of post-colonial studies, that is to consider that long tradition of globalism in the Indian Ocean," Christiansë says. "We're looking at the labor movements and the history of slavery in that area.
"The students are connecting with each other via this fantastic possibility of immediate electronic conversation. We had hoped to eventually establish a Web site based on their research, which they will hand off to the next students, but it's difficult logistically, so that's on hold for now."
Christiansë appreciates the feedback that CCIS brings in terms of new perspectives, which she then brings to her teaching. "All of the affiliate programs still have their distinct identities, but we draw on each other's skills," she notes. "We really have formulated new core courses."
She aims to bring to Africana studies new outreach initiatives, such as one with the Museum for African Art currently in Long Island City. She also hopes to present the work of young Soweto-born composer Neo Muyanga as a learning expression. Christiansë utilizes elements of pop culture in her teaching—such as references to rap music and how much of it contains historical references.
"The students learn and I learn," sums up the professor. —by Lois Elfman '80

So disappointed :[I love Too Faced products and have never been disappointed with any of them but this one did not deliver! I figured by the name it would make my lashes longer, but it felt like I was shortening them with this formula!! It made my curly lashes straight and the formula clumped on my lashes. I looked gross.

SmellyThis mascara smells weird. I don't know what it exacty smells like, but something acidic. The brush is soft, and it makes my lashes look thicker.

Clumps a LittleI like the color of this mascara, but this is hard to apply for a non clumped look. It takes a few coats to make my eyes look fuller and longer, and the lashes don't seperate. The color clumped a little, but lasted a long time. — 8 years, 3 months agoStef42678 | 500 reviews

Too Faced Lash InjectionI tend to really like tubular mascaras, and this one is good, but it has a lot to do with application technique. This isn't a very forgiving mascara, you shouldn't allow it to set before applying additional coats. It flakes if applied coat after coat, t has to be wet to still be workable. The brush is a little big, if you have short eyelashes it may be difficult to apply if you aren't comfortab...read morele with a large brush.

best brushthis mascara was great when i bought it, my lashes were thick, dark, long and much much more naturaly lush looking than any of my other mascaras, and the brush is HUGE which is my number 1 concern in mascara. about a week into using it hough, it seemed to have dried out, and flaked during the day....maybe it was me? when i buy this again i'll get the little travel size one sephora sells, same product, same brush [!], but less waste when it only lasts me a week! — 9 years, 4 months agocorizotti | 550 reviews

Too expensive/Over HypedThe results you get with this mascara aren't worth the price. I think that you're better off with Loreal's Carbon Black mascara. Honestly, I was suckered in by the brush...but it made clumps in the lashes! There was so much goop on the wand! Ugh, an utter dissapointment.
