EPA cracks down on soot pollution
- EPA sets stricter rules to limit air pollution from soot
- Environmentalists welcome rules
- Critics say the rules could cost jobs
Over objections from the oil industry and power companies, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued new air quality rules today to slash the amount of fine-particle soot allowed from smokestacks, wood-burning stoves and diesel vehicles.
The EPA, required by a court order to set a new standard by Dec. 14, said 99% of U.S. counties will be able to meet it by 2020 without taking additional steps. Environmental and public health groups hailed the rules, but critics said they could force costly pollution-abatement upgrades and harm economic growth.
"We will save lives and reduce the burden of illness in our communities," EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson said, adding the new soot rules are based on extensive scientific research.
Soot, also known as fine particle pollution, is microscopic but can cause lung and health problems when inhaled. It's been linked to premature deaths, asthma attacks, strokes, lung cancer and heart disease. The new rules would set their maximum allowable annual standard at 12 micrograms per cubic meter, down 20% from the current 15 micrograms per cubic meter.
"Today's decision is nothing short of historic. It is the first time EPA has ever tightened the critical long-term soot standard first set 15 years ago," said Frank O'Donnell, president of Clean Air Watch, an environmental group.
"I'm a mother who knows all too well how devastating an asthma attack can be," Lydia Rojas, an American Lung Association volunteer from Oxnard, Calif., said in a press release from the group hailing the new rules. Her daughter died from an asthma attack at school. "The EPA's action today will mean that other moms whose children struggle to breathe because of soot pollution can know that much cleaner air is coming."
Yet critics said the new rules come at a cost to the economy. Howard Feldman of the American Petroleum Institute, which represents the oil industry, said the standards could potentially increase prices and decrease jobs at a time when 12 million Americans remain unemployed.
"The existing standards are working and will continue improving air quality," he said in a statement. "We fear this new rule may be just the beginning of a 'regulatory cliff'" that includes tougher ozone and greenhouse gas limits.
The Clean Air Act requires the EPA to consider revising its soot standards every five years, but President Bush declined to lower them during the last review in 2006. Facing opposition from industry groups and Congressional Republicans, President Obama's EPA sought to delay new rules, arguing they needed more time to review the latest scientific research.
Eleven states, along with the American Lung Association and environmental groups, filed suit against the EPA earlier this year to force action, saying current standards jeopardize public health.
Judge Robert L. Wilkins of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia ordered the EPA on June 2 to sign a proposed rule by mid-June, which it finalized today. The states joining the lawsuit included California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.
The EPA said it expects fewer than 10 of the more than 3,000 counties in the United States will need to take additional measures to meet the new standard by 2020.
By 2030, it said such rules will prevent up to 40,000 premature deaths, 32,000 hospital admissions and 4.7 million days of work lost due to illness. It estimates the economic value of such health benefits will range from $4 billion to $9 billion per year while implementation costs will range from $53 million to $350 million.
Twice as many Americans support as oppose stricter soot pollution rules, according to a national survey last month of 942 registered voters conducted by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research for the American Lung Association.

200 gm Chinese chives,wash and cut 2 inch
Sweet soya sauce, I think, is much like Maggi sauce. It tastes slightly sweeter than light soya sauce. I also used it very often to do the stir-fries. It tastes right and good.

FINRA announced on Monday it has filed a complaint against John Thomas Financial of New York, and its CEO, Anastasios "Tommy" Belesis, charging fraud in connection with the sale of common stock, physical intimidation of registered representatives, trading ahead, failing to provide best execution for customer orders and various other violations. The charges come on the heels of similar action by the SEC in March.
Belesis appeared in the film Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps.
The complaint also names Michele Misiti, branch office manager; John Ward, trader; Joseph Castellano, chief compliance officer; and Ronald Vincent Cantalupo, regional managing director.
Also, the complaint charges JTF, Belesis, Castellano and Cantalupo with violating FINRA's anti-intimidation rule by physically threatening (including threatening to have them "run over"), harassing and assaulting registered representatives who have disagreed with Belesis' business practices, and threatening to ruin the registered representatives' financial careers by improperly marking their industry records.
JTF and many of its customers owned America West Resources (AWSR) common stock as a result of participation in the company's private financings. According to the complaint, on Feb. 23, 2012, the price of AWSR common stock, which at the time was thinly traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, spiked higher, by approximately 600%, opening at 28 cents per share, peaking at $1.80 per share and eventually closing the day at $1.29 per share. On the same day, JTF sold 855,000 shares, the majority of its proprietary position in AWSR, reaping proceeds of more than $1 million.
The complaint alleges that while JTF sold its shares at the height of the price spike, the firm received at least 15 customer orders to sell more than 1 million shares, yet only entered one of these orders for execution on Feb. 23, 2012.
Instead, JTF and Belesis prevented the orders from being executed on the same day they were received and some customer orders were executed the following day or days after at prices grossly inferior to those obtained by the firm while other customer orders were not entered or executed at all. AWSR is now in bankruptcy, and the customers' investments are virtually worthless.
In addition, the complaint alleges that JTF and Belesis, through Misiti and Castellano, lied to the firm's registered representatives and customers about the reasons the customer shares could not be sold on Feb. 23, 2012, including that there was a problem with the clearing firm's trading systems, there was insufficient volume on that day to fill the orders, and the shares could not be sold because they were restricted under the Securities Act of 1933.
FINRA further alleges that to conceal that the firm received the orders during the Feb. 23 price spike but failed to execute them, JTF and Belesis, through Misiti, "lost" order tickets for customer orders received on Feb. 23, 2012, and replaced six of those tickets with falsified tickets dated Feb. 24, 2012. Belesis and Misiti also made misrepresentations to FINRA concerning Belesis' role in the misconduct.

Eric Jaffe is the former New York bureau chief for CityLab. He is the author of A Curious Madness and The King's Best Highway.
People don't always make rational decisions. The entire field of behavioral economics, with all its colorfully named biases and heuristics, is based on our irrationality. If that's not enough to convince you, then let us remind you that Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is a thing.
Go ahead and add cars to the illogical list too. In an upcoming paper in Transport Policy, a group of Italian researchers report that people show an irrational bias toward automobiles — they call it the "car effect." Instead of considering all travel modes and choosing the one that saves the most time and money, people prefer to drive even when it's not the best objective option:
Our key experimental result is that travel mode is significantly affected by heuristics and biases leading to robust deviations from rational behaviour. …
The main bias pointed out by data is the car effect, according to which individuals exhibited a preference for cars over metro and bus in contrast with their economic interest.
The researchers arrived at this conclusion through a series of rather intricate decision games. A group of players started the game with a certain amount of tokens. In the first game, during each of 50 rounds, the players chose whether they wanted to travel by car or by metro. A "travel cost" was determined for each mode — combining price and time — and paid in tokens.
Now here's the catch: while the travel cost of riding metro was fixed, the travel cost of a car varied. Random events, such as weather, accidents, and road work, influenced the cost of car travel. So did "traffic," which was determined based on how many other players also chose car travel during a given round.
In the best scenarios the travel cost of the car was lower, since it's the quicker mode, but if the traffic reached a certain point then riding the metro made more sense. After each round the players received feedback and could make a new choice. Over time they were expected to learn from their mistakes; there was actual compensation at stake, based on performance, so they had a real incentive to do well.
When the car-metro game ended the researchers ran two more experiments with buses replacing the metro option.
In every game the results pointed to a clear "car effect." In the car-metro game, the rate of car use rarely dipped below 55 percent — the point at which the first "traffic" penalty kicked in (below, left). (The "cong. threshold" depicted here represents the congestion penalties that increased the travel cost of a car.) Although the average cost of taking a car ended up being about 50 percent more than taking the metro, people chose cars nearly two-to-one (below, right):
The car-bus games revealed a similar bias toward the car — in contrast to what a rational observer of travel price should have chosen.
The findings are pretty striking when you consider that players received continual feedback after each round. While some players did respond to high car costs by switching modes, the effect didn't last long. "If regret can play a role in travel mode choice, it does not seem relevant in the experiment," the researchers wrote. Once people chose to go by car, they tended to stick with the choice. (Though, to be fair, most players demonstrated some degree of transport "stickiness," no matter the mode.)
The results are even more striking if you consider the players didn't have to actually, you know, ride the subway. In other words, even in a theoretical setting, with no physical interaction necessary, and real monetary compensation at stake, people couldn't set aside their preconceived affection for cars (or, perhaps, their aversion to transit). When it comes to driving, the researchers conclude, logic goes out the window:
This experimental study shows that, in repeated travel mode choice, available information is not properly processed, cognitive efforts are generally low and rational calculation play a limited role.
The games obviously aren't a perfect representation of everyday travel decisions, but they do offer an important lesson for policymakers. For all the technical and spatial hurdles of implementing an efficient urban transit system, there are significant psychological ones too. Sure, some people will make a rational travel choice, and prefer the efficiency and cost of the bus or the metro. But many others will require an incentive to switch that goes above and beyond what the numbers predict they should need.

To help flatten the curve in the Covid-19 outbreak, officials at all levels of government are asking people to stay home. Here's what's worked, and what hasn't.
Because of coronavirus, millions of tenants won't be able to write rent checks. But calls for a rent holiday often ignore the longer-term economic effects.
Some renters and homeowners are getting financial assistance during the economic disruption from the coronavirus pandemic. What about landlords?
In places where most child cares and schools have closed, in-home family daycares that remain open aren't seeing the demand — or the support — they expected.
We must prepare for a protracted battle with coronavirus. But there are changes we can make now to prepare locked-down cities for what's next.

Hi everyone. Medical tests to military school went pretty well, almost all is great. I only wait for my blood results. I have no classes now (winter break) and I'm in my parent's house. I have not much weights here, so I'm concentrated on more hypertrophy workouts. +some running and swimming as a form of cardio.
Yesterday I decided to go a little bit heavier and I've done fronts squats, five sets by five. Then sumo deadlift, bulgarian squats, stiff leg deadlift and some calf raises. Here is a quick video from my workout, enjoy watching!
I still don't have resultd of my medical tes, but I decided to go heavy with my running and swimming. Now I do gym 4 times a week (5/3/1 programm), running 3 times a week and swimminf one time a week. Befere every gym training I do some bodyweight pull-ups.
I still have great dilema - finish my engineering college first or go to army...
Hi, what's up everyone
I've passed my medical tests to the military school. I have 4 months left to my final interview and sport test. But u know what, I'm still not sure if it was good idead this trying to get to the army again. I see myself in the future as an athleet (maybe powerlifter), biomedical engineer (high chances for that - I'm studying mechanical engineering now and I can do master degree in biomechanics in my technical university). Anyway, most important goals for now are study hard, lift hard, and include some running and swimming in my workout programm.
My current workout routine is Wendler's 5/3/1 and I have just finished first training cycle. This forkout is very suitable for me.
Check out my new video - Sadik Hadzovic looked great at the stage of Arnold Classic.
Hi, what's up everyone
I'm into my deload week of my Wendler's 5/3/1 programm now. I decided not to touch squat, bench and deadlift and I do more hypertrophy stuff now. I think my physique look not so bad. I'm happy about that because I was concentrated on strength training last months. What really piss me off is that there is soo much to lear in my college right now. But I keep on grinding. Goal is to survive next 5 days and then I will have one week break.
And I believe I will hit some PRs during next training cycle. I will post some numbers here in my log in near future to see if I continue progressing.
Hi, what's up everyone
I'm close to finish first week of my second training cycle. I'm pretty happy about the results. I've hit 270 for 9 reps on deadlift (10th was not clean, so i didn't count it) and 165 for 6 on bench press. Can't wait for the third week, when I will be hitting PR's. The only mistake I've made is that I went too hard on deload week. I've been doing only hypertrophy stuff, but too much training volume - there's no way that my muscles recovered well after training cycle. I'll do it correct next time - deload weeks are important too.
And there is new video on my YT channel - Kai Greene talks about goal setting (with subtitles in my language, but that should not be a problem). Enjoy watching!
Hi, what's up everyone
Glad to see that my numbers are going up on that Wendler's 5/3/1 programm. I'm only afrain about my lifetime weak point - bench (did only 3 reps with 175 last week). But anyway, I hope it will be increasing too. And down below is my short physique uptade, enjoy!
Hi, what's up everyone
Just came back from my gym and I'm extremly happy after my leg workout. I've hit squat PR - 240x2 Then I've done 2 sets of 12 reps with 185, then 4 sets of stiff leg deadlift and then 4 sets of leg press and then some abs excercises at the end.
The next thing that I want to write a little bit about is my youtube channel. I do it for my own satisfaction, but last few days I saw, that some of my videos have pretty hight number of views and the last one (link is down below) have also some positive comments from US fitness youtubers, so I'm really happy about that too. I decided to start doing something bigger, enjoy trailer of this material!
Hi, what's up everyone
Sorry for being out of jefit for a while but my computer broke down. I had to take it to some specialists and it was very expensive for an ordinary student. But now everything is fine again. I took a short 3-day diet break because I was very streesed about that computer and I ate almost only chocolate. I'm inside deload week of Wendler's 5/3/1 routine and I believe it will be good to rest from heavy weights - I felt very tired in last training week. Almost 7 weeks of pretty hard 6-day-a-week training routine is hard for nervous system. So plan for the next 3 days is to rest well, train a little bit lighter and recover in 100% to go heavy in next weeks.
Hi, what's up everone
My training ORM went up, I'm starting my third cycle of Wendler's 5/3/1 routine. I enjoy making PR's almost every final week of the cycle, this routine suits me very well at all. Last results are fo example: 230x3 on squats, 105x1 on OHP so I thing that my general strength is definetly going up. I also try to follow my diet without any excuses besause that can be a crucial factor too in my road to 1000 pound club Next week I'm going to start taking creatine, lets see, what happens.

Brookline Golf Course is located in the Putterham neighborhood of Brookline, MA which was home to the legendary Francis Ouimet, who as an amateur, won the 1913 U.S. Open which was played at The Country Club of Brookline.
Designed by Wayne Stiles and John Van Kleek in 1933, Brookline Golf Course is one of 35 Stiles & Van Kleek designs in Massachusetts. While the routing of the golf course seen today largely reflects their original plans, the course has gone through a few transformations, mainly due to land acquisitions along the property's perimeter adding length and additional characteristics.
At over 6,300 yards, Brookline Golf Course is a great test for all players. With multiple sets of tees, it suits the beginner very well and will always give the accomplished player a challenge.

For a complete set of the current rules please click on the following link: Administrative Rules
There are various occasions when Licensees are required to communicate with the Board of Accountancy or to respond to a communication from the Board. The Board of Accountancy is authorized to assess a civil penalty of up to $5,000 for each violation of the Oregon Administrative Rules or Statutes. The Board does not impose the same penalty for every type of Board communication; rather the penalty may differ depending upon the rule that is in violation. Licensees should be aware of the following requirements and the civil penalties associated with each requirement. OAR 801-030-0020(7) requires licensees to respond to any Board communication within 21 days of the date of the correspondence. Board communications that are subject to this requirement always include a statement that response is required within 21 days. The licensee´s response may be a letter requesting additional time and stating reasonable justification for the request. However, such requests should be submitted promptly; if additional time is not approved, the response is still due within 21 days of the original communication from the Board. The Board may allow additional time if the reason for the request is based on circumstances that are outside of the licensee´s control. If the board communication is notice of a complaint filed against the licensee, the penalty for not responding in a timely manner is $1,000.
The penalty for not responding in a timely manner to other Board communications that include a 21-day response notice is at least $100. OAR 801-030-0020(9) requires licensees to provide written notice of a change of address within 30 days of such change. This requirement applies to both individual licensees and registered public accounting firms. The civil penalty for failure to provide this notice to the Board is $100. However there may be more serious consequences. If the licensee does not receive the renewal application (because it is mailed to the last address of record), and therefore does not renew the permit, the permit will lapse. Licensees who continue to hold out as a CPA or PA, or who perform public accounting services that are restricted to licensees, are subject to additional civil penalties of up to $5,000 for each violation. For example, every instance of holding out, or every tax return signed is a separate violation. If the licensee does not receive notice of the civil penalty (because the Board of Accountancy does not have a valid address for mailing), the Order will become final by default and the penalty is due and payable within 10 days. If the penalty is not paid, the permit will be suspended. Licensees who continue to hold out or to perform public accounting services while a permit is suspended risk revocation. ORS 673.160 and OAR 801-010-0345 state the requirements for firm registrations and renewals. The renewal form includes a box to be checked by the licensee if the firm wishes to be terminated when registration as a public accounting firm is no longer required. Renewal applications requesting termination of the firm should also be returned to the Board. Renewal applications that are received after December 31 of the renewal period that is expiring are subject to a late fee. Renewal applications that are received after January 31 of the new renewal period are subject to a $500 penalty for failure to renew. OAR 801-040-0070 requires licensees to document CPE hours reported on the licensee´s last renewal form at the Board´s request. The Board conducts an audit of CPE reports after each renewal period. Licensees who do not respond to a CPE audit request letter within 21 days are subject to a $250 civil penalty.

The Angels got to American League Championship Series because they did the little things right all year.
Then against the Yankees they didn't. That is why their season came to an end.
The series started with a routine pop-up landing between two Angels players who did not communicate. It ended with them being unable to field two bunts — two errors on two consecutive plays — that clinched a game six win for the Yankees 5-2, and that gave the Yankees a series win 4-2. New York will now take on Philadelphia in a series that few in Los Angeles will want to watch.
Like the entire series, in this game the Angels showed heart and fight, but not enough to make up for shaky starting pitching backed up by defensive lapses.
The Angels actually jumped out to a quick lead — hot-hitting catcher Jeff Mathis got his fifth double of the series to lead off the third inning, and two batters latter Bobby Abreu drove him in with a single to right. That was Abreu's first hit this series with runners in scoring position.
But the fourth was where the Yankees win started. A walk to Robinson Cano, a rare hit by Nick Swisher (that might have been a sign) and another walk, this time to Derek Jeter, loaded the bases for Angels starter Joe Saunders. Next up, Johnny Damon singled to left driving in two runs. Angels manager Mike Scioscia stuck with Saunders, who gave up a single to Mark Teixeira whose single loads the bases again. Scioscia still stuck with Saunders against Alex Rodriguez, and he drew a walk (on a pitch even Rodriguez was caught saying was a strike) to drive in another run. Finally that is it for Saunders and Darren Oliver comes in and gets a double-play ball to end the inning.
But by then the Angels are in a hole 3-1 that they never got out of.
Andy Pettitte settled in for six innings of one run ball, followed by a scoreless seventh inning from Joba Chamberlain. Then Joe Girardi went to his ace, Mariano Rivera, asking him to throw two innings.
The Angels got to Rivera in the eighth. Chone Figgins, having his first good game at the plate in the playoffs, singled to start the inning. He eventually came around to score on a Vladimir Guerrero single. It was 3-2.
That was when the Angels defense fell apart. Again. In the eighth Cano walks (again), Swisher made a sacrifice bunt that pitcher Scott Kazmir fields and throws to first but Howie Kendrick drops, so it is men on first and second. Next up, Melky Cabrerra makes another bunt that Kazmir fields, then throws over Kendrick's head, allowing Cano to score. Two bunts, two ugly errors.
The end result (after a Teixeira sacrifice fly) is a 5-2 Yankees lead, that becomes a 5-2 win.
It was a frustrating way for the Angels to lose, not playing like they did all season. It was frustrating for Angels fans. But when the games were on the line, this time it was the Yankees that made more big plays. That is why they will continue on and the Angels will have to think about next year.
Angels Throw Season Away
The Angels played great defense all season. Until this series, and now the Yankees are on to the World Series
The Angels got to American League Championship Series because they did the little things right all year.

What happened in Hamburg two weeks ago played out like a Hollywood script involving teens, alcohol and an empty house.
And it had a bad ending – most notably a family car stolen and set on fire.
A 17-year-old girl left alone at home for the weekend invited a dozen or so friends over for a Friday night get-together. It swelled into a raging, out-of-control party that grew more crowded as word – and driving directions – spread on Facebook, Twitter and other social media.
Eventually, the teenager and one of her friends screamed for everyone to leave, but the unruly crowd ignored them.
That's when a neighbor who heard the yelling called 911 around 11:40 p.m. on June 14. When police arrived, the partygoers fled the four-acre property in every direction "like cockroaches," said the neighbor, who asked not to be identified.
Debi Weber, the 17-year-old girl's mother, returned to her Lakeshore Road home on Sunday to discover the family car missing, garbage bags full of alcohol bottles and damaged or missing household items.
Also missing was $400 in cash and prescription drugs, including Xanax.
The charred family car was recovered on a road a block from Weber's home.
Weber holds her daughter responsible for her choices that night, but she said the four Hamburg police officers who broke up the party should have done more than just allow the high school students to drive away.
"They just put the kids in their cars and sent them away," said Weber, a government claims examiner. "These kids are getting away with it, why stop?"
Capt. Kevin Trask of the Hamburg Police Department said the police officers who responded did not observe underage drinking at the Lake View party and that the teens scattered into the nearby woods when police arrived.
About 50 minors were at the party, according to a police report.
The report stated that Weber's daughter allegedly told one of her friends to post on Facebook that a "big party" was being thrown at her home. The police report also indicates that Weber's daughter was "extremely evasive" when she was asked whether she knew who was responsible for the crimes.
The police report said officers told those who did not flee "to leave."
Weber wants to know why the officers did not arrest any of the teens, many of whom she believes were intoxicated, or notify their parents.
The teens got off with a lecture, she said, and did not have to identify themselves.
Later, after the arson and burglary were reported, the police began investigating. Police identified 20 people who attended the party and began interviewing them.
Of the 10 whose ages are listed on a subsequent police report, all are under 21. Eight are between 15 and 17 years old. Some of the teens live in Buffalo, Orchard Park, Blasdell, Depew and Lackawanna.
Weber said she knows teenagers are faced with peer pressure and sometimes defy parents. But the rampant, reckless partying and danger that unfolded in her home exceeded standard teenage rebellion, she said.
"To the level of violence that they're taking it, that's beyond kids being kids," she said.
Before the Friday party, Weber left for her stepson's weekend baseball tournament in Batavia with her husband, Michael.
The mother admits her daughter made a poor decision. But she said the high school sophomore never intended for the night to spiral so out of hand. Weber believes more than 200 people showed up for the party.
Cigarette butts littered the lawn, and vehicles left ruts. Partygoers trampled through Weber's garden.
Lawn chairs were tossed into a backyard bonfire. Liquor bottles, from both the Webers' alcohol collection and bottles brought in from outside, filled garbage bags. The home's siding was dented, apparently by a smashed beer bottle.
Used condoms were found in every bedroom, including the bedrooms for 9- and 11-year-old children.
"They had sex in all of our beds," Weber said.
The damage and value of stolen items ran into the thousands of dollars, she said.
The Webers live on a busy stretch of Lake Shore Road. The neighbor who dialed 911 told The News he saw cars parked in both directions, and teenagers streamed into the home in large groups.
Weber, convinced of drinking at the party, questioned whether police did enough to make sure drunken teens did not drive from the party after police arrived.
"They certainly owe it to the innocent people on the road," she said.
Unless witnesses come forward, Weber said she was told the odds of police nabbing the arsonists and thieves were not good.
"If the kids don't talk, they can't do anything about it," Weber said.
As for Weber's daughter, she will be signing over her paychecks until the repair bills from the party are paid off.
And Weber, who has a teaching certificate, said her next course of action includes educating teenagers on the dangers of both underage drinking and posting too much information on social media sites.
Weber insists she is not out to get anyone – she simply wants to spread the word about what she believes is a culture of reckless teenage partying and a breakdown in authority.
Weber cites as evidence the tweets on Twitter she has read from some of those whom she believes attended the party.
Some of the more brazen tweets mocked what happened:
"I ran!! Hahaha, then got a ride home," one person posted. "Like who knew grand theft auto wasn't just a video game????"
Another tweet read, "if I steal a car will you be proud of me?"
The tweets reveal the lack of guilt about what happened that night, she said.
"Now they're making jokes about it," Weber said.

3 calls in the past 2 days have dropped anywhere from 1.5 to 4.5mins into the conversation.
We are using a Trixbox with IAX2 trunk to 2talk, recently (forced) to upgrade to 2TalkPlus
Before you unhelpfully reply dissing the trixbox and suggesting some other alternative, it has been working flawlessy for 2-3 years and if it aint broke.. well you know the rest.
The only thing I have changed recently as we used to log in to a 03281XXXX number with the trunk, but I changed it to log in with our 0800 XX XX XX number instead (as the 0800 was just diverting to the 03281XXX number anyway, and the caller ID always showed the source as 03281XXXX which was unhelpful)
other than that the port forwarding is the same, the trixbox IP is the same, and like I say its been near flawless for several years, it seems very unusual.
Ive submitted a ticket to 2talk, and I am expecting a reply before 2014, but if anyone has any ideas id be happy to hear them

The steel structure workshop is a kind of steel structure, and the steel structure workshop has the characteristics of short construction time, low cost and practicality. Due to the increase in steel production in China, many have begun to adopt steel structures. The steel structure plant is divided into light and heavy steel structure workshops.
- 1. Wide range of applications: applicable to factories, warehouses, office buildings, stadiums, hangars, etc. Suitable for single-story, large-span buildings as well as multi-storey or high-rise buildings.
- 2. Simple construction and short construction period: all components are prefabricated in the factory, and the site is simply assembled, which greatly shortens the construction period.The 6,000-square-meter building can be basically installed in 40 days.
- 3. Durable and easy to maintain: The steel structure designed by the general computer can resist the harsh weather and requires simple maintenance.
- 4. Beautiful and practical: the steel structure factory building is simple and smooth, with a modern sense. The color wall panels are available in a variety of colors, and the walls are available in other materials for greater flexibility.
- 5. Reasonable cost: the steel structure has light weight, reduces the basic cost, and the construction speed is fast. It can be completed and put into operation as soon as possible. The comprehensive economic benefit is much better than the concrete structure building. The steel structure can save 30% of the cost of the steel structure plant.
The steel structure is used to assemble the spiral staircase, the indoor staircase, the steel frame staircase with less support points, high bearing capacity, many shapes and high technical content. It is not easy to be affected by the structure of columns and floors, and is firm and firm. The materials used in the stairs are square tubes, round tubes, angle irons, channel steels, I-beams, etc., and the shapes are various.
The design of the stairs takes into account the integrity of the space. It is best to design the stair position without destroying the integrity of each functional space, that is, to consider the functional space of the two layers at the same time.
Due to the characteristics of steel frame stairs (steel structure stairs), its application range is also very wide. It can be used for outdoor facilities such as overpasses and subway handrails, as well as indoor facilities such as restaurants, factories, warehouses, gymnasiums, large markets, and leisure resorts.
The calculation of steel frame stairs (steel structure stairs) mainly includes load calculation, internal force calculation, section calculation and bearing capacity calculation. The safety of steel frame stairs (steel structure stairs) is the primary consideration, so safety work should be placed first in the design of steel structure stairs.

Published December 01, 2015
An aging mobster who was once a high-ranking member of Detroit's La Cosa Nostra organized crime family reportedly knows where labor union leader Jimmy Hoffa is buried.
NBC 4 New York reports that Tony Zerilli, 85, said Hoffa was buried in a field in suburban Detroit, about 20 miles north of the restaurant where he was last seen in July 1975.
"All this speculation about where he is and he's not," Zerilli told the station. "They say he was in a meat grinder. It's all baloney."
Zerilli said Hoffa's final resting place is in a field in Michigan's northern Oakland County. He was buried in a shallow grave and the plan was to move the body at another time, but Hoffa's remains were never moved from the first spot where they were buried, he said.
"Once he was buried here, he was buried and they let it go," Zerilli said.
Former U.S. Attorney Keith Corbett, who prosecuted organized crime in Detroit for 20 years, said Detroit's Mafia families are related in addition to their sworn bonds. That's one reason the mystery of what happened to Hoffa has gone unsolved, he said.
"Organized crime was involved in the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa," Corbett said.
Hoffa said he was going to meet a suspected member of the Detroit Mafia and a Teamster boss from New Jersey at a restaurant in suburban Detroit when he disappeared in July 1975. Hoffa, who was 62 at the time, was never seen again and was declared legally dead in 1982.

The sound of death is surely someone wheedling out a hymn on faulty bagpipes.
Like a mixture of Dory, from Finding Nemo, bellowing in her best Humpback and a blunt hacksaw taken to a chalkboard. (You'll want to take my word for it.)
There Jonathan and i were, enveloped by the mountains of Glen Coe. Probably the most famous of all Glens in Scotland – at least, cinematically speaking – Glen Coe boasts of a film C.V. including Hagrid's cabin in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and the drive to the lodge in Skyfall.
At our stop-off within the movie-star glen was a Highland lad, clad in full tartan regalia, muttering about a broken reed in between his attempts to play what i could only assume was meant to be "Amazing Grace."
We'd made the decision to go with a tour bus, which is not my favorite way to travel. (The asinine teenage boy behind us who referred only to his mother as "Geez, WOMAN!" is a prime example of why American tourists get such a bad rep). But it was the most affordable way we could see as much as possible in one day, so we took it. As if the sights of Scotland weren't enough to drink in, the sightseeing of thirty tourists in "Hairy Coo" fanny-packs certainly was.
Mr. Blurpity-Pipes was making a killing, asinine teenage boy posing for a sour-pussed grin as Grandma snapped a shot. Then went the Portugese Clooney-Lookalike, who posed for all his pictures like he was a supermodel: butt out, chin up, shades on, half-grimace sexy-grin. Behind him was a clattering group of Germans.
And so on, each plopping a fiver in Blurpity-Pipes' tin, each encouraging him to play past that wonky reed. Granted, it's a pretty stellar shot to bring home and make your profile picture: a real Scotsman in the Highlands!!1!!1!
I did my best to avoid the crowd, memorizing every curve of the mountains in our fifteen minutes of allotted time.
The real event of the tour was to be a boating ride on Loch Ness, involving sonar technology to scan the deeps for the monster below. But as Loch Ness is some four hours north of Edinburgh, we got to see plenty of Scottish countryside along the way.
After a lunch of disappointingly slim sandwiches (Jonathan's face caved when he realized he had a what barely qualified as a tissue for his slice of ham) we were bound for the boat. I jockeyed my way to the front, rather than the sonar get-up, so as to avoid Asinine Teen and the Clooney Lookalike. Jonathan and i actually quite enjoyed the Loch, steep cliffsides and water so dark it was almost black really living up to its legend. This was my second time to Loch Ness, the first being a sojourn to Urqhart Castle with my Dad. It was my first time on the water, and we were delighted with the breadth of the sun.
Until, characteristic Scotland, the cloud bowled us over with pelting rain. Suddenly, all the fannypacks were clustered around the Sonar, making awkward small talk about flesh-chomping monsters.
Our jaunt was over before we'd even made it two kilometers out, and in a pressure-cooker of a run back to the bus we made a pit-stop into a petrol station. Laden with cheese and breadsticks, we clambered back on the fannypack machine headed due south.
And while we had to deal with the best of American culture and Blurpity-Pipes' backdrop tunes, Jonathan is quick to say this was one of the best days of his life. Only the day before had he proposed, and i was desperate to see the Highlands one last time before i was stateside for the foreseeable future.
There is magic in those mountains, i tell you. Magic that still bathes the day as enchanting, even when set to the tune of Blurpity-Pipes.
in case you missed it: my sojourn through the highlands with my dad.
best thing: we took photos for our christmas card yesterday! who wants one?

The addition of SBc to its library of network interfaces enables mobile operators to extend Cell Broadcast services, like Emergency Alerts, to their next generation LTE networks.
Over 300 operators have committed to LTE, and the GSA (Global mobile Suppliers Association) expects to have 150 commercial LTE networks operating in 64 countries by end-2012. As LTE handsets become available in the market place, one2many's customers have requested LTE support on their multi RAN technology CBC platforms. Cell Broadcast, a one-to-many textual broadcast technology, is standardized and available on 2G, 3G and now LTE. In addition, CB is the only standardized wireless technology for Emergency Alerts.
Cell Broadcast is being introduced worldwide as a next generation wireless Emergency Alert service and will continue to play a crucial role in public safety, allowing governments to make vital public announcements to millions of citizens, within seconds, on a location-aware basis, without violating subscriber privacy or being affected by network congestion. Some of the Public Warning initiatives around the world are: EU-Alert, ETWS and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA – a part of CMAS) which was recently launched in the United States by the FCC and FEMA.
Maarten Mes, Managing Director of one2many, commented: "There is no better use of mobile technology than for Emergency Alerts. Our customers have requested and even demanded LTE support on our Cell Broadcast systems which are already in use on CDMA, GSM, 3G and Wifi networks. We are delighted to enable our customers to create a safer world for their subscribers."
one2many provides Cell Broadcast technology to telecoms operators across the world. Cell Broadcast technology delivers a non-intrusive, real-time service for the distribution of text-based messages to mobile handsets, specific to their current location. Cell Broadcast is capable of broadcasting one single message to reach all mobile handsets in an area as small as one radio cell and as big as an entire country. Sending a message to millions of handsets takes a matter of seconds, making the service ideal for applications such as public warning, location-based services and mobile social media.

Cory Booker rules out 2016 presidential race
- Newark mayor is leading polls in special Senate election in New Jersey
- A canceled speech in Iowa raised speculation about a White House bid
- Booker is one of the few mayors with a national following
Newark Mayor Cory Booker hasn't yet won a promotion to the U.S. Senate and doesn't have his sights on the White House.
The Democrat said "absolutely yes, unequivocally" that he has ruled out running in the 2016 presidential election or being the party's vice presidential nominee, Politico reported Thursday.
Booker is currently leading public opinion polls in the special Senate election in New Jersey to succeed the late Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg. "He is focused on winning New Jersey's Democratic Senate primary on Aug. 13," Booker campaign spokesman Kevin Griffis said.
Booker is one of the few mayors with a national following, through his social media and TV presence and by garnering headlines when he saved a neighbor from a burning building. Booker's profile and "celebrity status" sparked Lautenberg's family to endorse Rep. Frank Pallone for the Democratic Senate nomination.
TheDaily Beast had reported Booker was going to deliver a speech later this month in Iowa, home to the first-in-the-nation presidential caucuses. Booker told the Philadelphia Inquirer that he had canceled the speech when he declared his Senate candidacy and that nothing should have been read into an Iowa visit, since he has family in the state.

Pottery Tradition in the Catawba Valley
Jason Harpe, Brian Dedmond, Photography by M. Dawn Crouse
Valley Ablaze is the first book which closely examines the work of both early and contemporary Catawba Valley potters. The tradition of pottery making in the Catawba Valley dates back over two centuries, to a time when artisans made pots out of necessity. Times have changed and the tradition's evolution has followed suit. Still, many of the potters continue to embrace the time-honored methods and knowledge which has passed down from generation to generation. Valley Ablaze documents this through interviews with current potters and memories of those potters from long ago. Historic and candid photographs assist in telling the story. Over 1,000 pieces of Catawba Valley pottery are photographed in studio displays (5 are pictured below).
Foreword by Dr. Charles "Terry" Zug III.

denture(redirected from denture processing)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Financial.
denture,artificial replacement for natural teeth and surrounding tissue. Dentures are classified as partial or complete. The former are removable and maintained by clasps, or are fixed bridges with crowns cemented over adjacent teeth or over spikes embedded in the jaw. Complete dentures are replacements for all of the teeth of a jaw and are normally held in place by the suction created by saliva and by the close matching of the denture base to the tissues of the mouth. The first-known mention of dentures is found in the 1728 manuscript of Pierre Fouchard, a French dental surgeon often called the father of modern dentistry. Various substances including wood, ivory, and metal have been used in the construction of dentures, but major advances have resulted from the development of synthetic rubbers and plastics. Today dentures are usually composed of acryllic or porcelain teeth mounted in an acryllic base that is tinted to resemble the gums.
A partial or complete prosthetic appliance to replace one or more missing teeth.
1. a partial or full set of artificial teeth
2. Rare a set of natural teeth

Google Cloud Platform Results
- Reduces storage costs by 84%
- Reduces inclusive annual costs by 37%
- Gains more robust, secure, efficient, and scalable platform
A community-led solution for professional, code-free website design, Webydo has more than 85,000 designers worldwide. With Webydo, designers can create responsive HTML websites. Webydo joined with Emind cloud architects to construct a scalable infrastructure with Google Cloud Platform to facilitate the growing number of websites created on the platform.
Challenges and Solutions
Challenge: Performance and user experience
The demand for Webydo services has grown exponentially, generating a need for a durable infrastructure to host and manage millions of websites. Designers who use Webydo upload rich media such as videos, images, animation, widgets and many other elements. Scaling for large capacity on-demand isn't easy, especially when dealing with highly detailed, complex cloud environments. Migrating from the company's VMware-based private cloud to Google Cloud Platform lets the service perform at scale and according to demand.
Solution: Scalable architecture
Webydo's Google Cloud Platform operations provide effortless scaling, ensuring that both designers and clients enjoy rapid desktop-like response times, with all of the added benefits of a cloud environment available from any screen, any time.
The Webydo system is deployed in a distributed architecture, making the most of the Cloud Platform infrastructure worldwide. Emind's architects streamlined the architecture by decoupling layers that scale linearly, and creating stateless layers that auto-scale according to real-time demand. This loosened the bond between the Webydo sites and their underlying computing resources. Generating a dynamic configuration by integrating Nginx, Lua and Redis provides better server performance. Content was moved from internal storage arrays to Google Cloud Storage, which provides highly available and enhanced performance. The content is served through Nginx servers, which handle user requests, caching and other tiny business logic functions.
The newly integrated web server means that application forms can be submitted in a scalable fashion. Back-end queues are used for asynchronous processing of the application workflow, consisting of database storage and email notifications. Additionally, each application server uses an asynchronous uploading agent that publishes the website's assets through the Google Cloud Storage API.
"Webydo's new scalable deployment with Google Cloud Platform ensures that each website created by Webydo's designer community benefits from the best performance in the industry, even as the platform continues growing from 100,000 websites to beyond 10 million websites," says Shmulik Grizim, Webydo cofounder and CEO. "With Google Cloud Platform, Webydo's designers are ready to conquer the market and shape a better web for us all."

Challenge: Web-scale security
Attacks to the system can cause unplanned outages, so protection is crucial. A public mega-website, by nature, deals with great security risks, such as distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. Specific measures must be taken to safeguard against security vulnerabilities. Moreover, data leakage must be prevented to maintain users' privacy and avoid unauthorized transfer of the websites' assets.
Solution: Transparency and comprehensive network protection
Emind ensures data security through a number of tactics. Visualizing the details of each environment greatly reduces leakage risks. This is done through a Nagios-based central monitoring system, which provides a visual, real-time map of the online operation. The system also contains a log server, which continuously analyzes access logs and generates anomaly-based alerts.
In addition, Google Compute Engine's flexible firewall simplifies the creation of complex network configurations by tagging instances, routing rules or firewall rules. Emind's experts use this out-of-the-box, private networking capability with a secure OpenVPN access server to produce an isolated, secure environment for Webydo within the public cloud."Leveraging Google Cloud Platform's great scalability and flexibility, our experts migrated the Webydo environment in a matter of weeks," says Lahav Savir, CEO, Emind.
Challenge: Business Continuity
Designers depend on the Webydo platform to build their businesses. This mission-critical aspect of the web service must be reliable and available at all times. Maintaining and enhancing existing disaster recovery (DR) mechanisms is essential, as is creating a robust backup strategy for the rapidly growing data and digital assets.
Solution: High availability and continuous monitoring
Disaster recovery and backup
Emind set up a number of failsafe actions to ensure that Webydo's system remains up and running and isn't affected by hardships. First, by leveraging the Google Cloud Platform's global presence, the system is deployed across two regions, preventing failures. The Windows-based application servers and website services are balanced across zones, and the web and application servers are set to active/active mode. Also, the system uses the Google Cloud Platform VM Instance Migration feature for seamless migration or to restart a degraded performance instance.
For additional safety, Emind periodically backs up the Redis cluster and MSSQL databases to Google Cloud Storage. The data is then spread over multiple regions, which complements Webydo's globally distributed content. The system also uses Google Cloud Platform's Object Versioning, which archives data used to protect against accidental deletions or salvage older versions of data.
Challenge: Strict cost controls
Webydo's migration from a private-cloud VMware environment to the infinite, on-demand cloud alters the IT-operations cost models. The cost advantages of the public cloud can be maximized if properly controlled.
Solution: Continuing costs optimization and control
Emind's architects planned the capacity and cost analysis of the cloud-based deployments with the help of Webydo's estimated demand prediction. The outcome was a fixed plan and forecast based on the proven cost savings of the architectural changes, which was far less than the private-cloud-hosted annual cost forecast. Emind's use of Google Cloud Platform provided the constant transparency that the Webydo team needed to ensure that capacity meets demand at all times.
The new scalable architecture also lets the team easily relocate workloads from Windows to Linux-based platforms, which are far more economical in the cloud. The data from the storage hardware was then transferred to Google Cloud Storage. The storage migration delivered immediate cost savings. It is important to note that performance wasn't affected during the entire process.
Partnering with Emind enhanced Webydo's operations and scalability through Google Cloud Platform. As a result, Webydo's online platform is more robust, secure, efficient and scalable than ever before.
The old co-located environment lacked the scalability to handle the large amount of web form submissions. Dividing the system into layers generated a simpler environment that facilitates total management. In addition, the new deployment enables global distribution of services as well as such comprehensive features as the innovative DDoS protection.
Webydo expects to save approximately 84 percent on their current storage costs. Moving the storage, network and compute workloads from the co-location-based VMware environment to the Google Cloud Platform reduced inclusive annual costs by 37 percent. Having no upfront investment makes the cloud even more attractive and suitable for a fast-growing company. With complete transparency and automatic handling of demand, the platform can cope with extreme growth, satisfying Webydo's rapidly expanding designer community and their clients.
"Emind's cloud architects worked with Google and Webydo to find the optimal and most efficient road to the cloud," says Lahav Savir, Emind CEO. "Leveraging Google Cloud Platform's great scalability and flexibility, our experts migrated the Webydo environment in a matter of weeks, while maintaining efficiency, scalability and performance that a great online platform such as Webydo requires."

One of the most important benefits the DGA provides to its members is the DGA-Producer Pension and Health Plans.
Created as a result of the Directors Guild of America's collective bargaining agreements with producer associations representing the motion picture, television and commercial production industries, the DGA-Producer Pension and Health Plans provide excellent benefits to participants, providing directors and their teams with a safety net that allows them to work as freelance artists and entrepreneurs in the entertainment industry.
The DGA-Producer Pension Plan was created in 1960, arising from the labor strife of the late 1950s over the reuse of films on television. The new pension plans were a major achievement for the Guild and showed great foresight, finally giving members a meaningful retirement plan.
The DGA-Producer Health Plan was added in 1969, filling another crucial gap in the benefits available to Guild members.
The Plans are separate entities from the DGA and are administered by a Board of Trustees made up of DGA representatives and Producers' representatives.
For more information on Pension & Health please visit the
DGA Producer Pension and Health Plan website
at www.dgaplans.org or call 323-866-2200
DGA Members were able to get free flu shots and learn all about their Health Plan benefits during the DGA Health Fairs held at Guild offices in Los Angeles and New York.
The Motion Picture and Television Fund has signed a letter of intent to bring the MPTF Health Centers, and health-related services, under the operational umbrella of the UCLA Health System.

Has anyone ever kept freshwater mussels before??
i didnt even know they existed until i saw them on this website:
any tips or recommendations from anyone who has owned?
My recommendation:
AVOID!! These are filter feeders that require an even more mature aquarium than fan shrimp. They burrow and you don't see much of them It's not unknown for one to die and the first thing the owner notices is a massive ammonia spike (lik 8ppm overnight)
My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.
i would avoid freshwater mussels
i've heard when reproducing they have a larval form that is parasitic. they attach to the gills of fish. (i don't know what happens after that as they grow and mature, or how it affects the fish - never looked into it)
with that in mind freshwater clams are preferred.
the biggest concern i've heard about freshwater clams is they WILL starve to death in a maintained tank. to check if your clams are doing well check their size to see if they're growing. due to their slow metabolism starvation could take from months to a year or so.
to keep them alive the lazier aquarium hobbyist who doesn't take care of his tank is going to have the most success in keeping clams from starving.
personally i would suggest infecting your tank with greenwater to keep your clams alive, if you insist on freshwater mussels, i'm sure the same would provide them with food too.
as to if the clams will clean out all the greenwater then starve, ... good question, as soon as i have my tank ready i'll find out. (this is the route i'll be heading.)
(using sandblasting glass beads for substrate - in case the worst case scenario and one dies, i can find it.)

Max Smith, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – There are new signs going up on three major roads in Northern Virginia that mean more than just new road numbers.
Now designated as primary roads rather than secondary, the Fairfax County Parkway, Prince William Parkway and Franconia-Springfield Parkway will now be eligible for more federal funding, and move up in line when it comes time for snow plows to hit the roads.
All the roads will keep their names, but the numbers change. New signs show the Fairfax County Parkway as Route 286 rather than 7100, the Prince William Parkway as Route 294 rather than 3000, and the Franconia-Springfield Parkway as Route 289 rather than 7900. The changes were announced this winter, but the signs are rolling out now, including some noting the roads' old designations to ease confusion.
"Ultimately, making these roads primary routes means we're talking about more money and a higher priority for maintenance," says Virginia Department of Transportation spokewoman Jennifer McCord says.
"There will be more federal money now for paving, for filling potholes. They'll also have a higher priority as far as snow removal," she adds.
Fairfax County Supervisor Pat Herrity says new paving and the new signs are what drivers will notice most along the Fairfax County Parkway.
"This all came as a result of a constituent question who had asked me why 123 was being paved repeatedly while the parkway was in such bad shape in terms of paving. And it was as simple as a request by the board of supervisors to VDOT," Herrity says.
All primary roads in Virginia are numbered 1 to 599.
"To be able to receive the federal funding for maintaining these roads, they need to be designated as primary routes. And they have to meet a certain number of requirements for traffic volume, for carrying a certain percentage of out of state traffic, of trucks, of buses," McCord says.

Numbers are everywhere - today's date, our birthdates, our ages, the number of children we have, the date we accomplish a task. These numbers are encoded in the fabric of our lives and the patterns gives us keys to our past, our future and even our career choices. Is the knowledge only available to a select few or can anyone understand the hidden meaning?
It was the Greek philosopher and mathematician, Pythagoras, who believed that numbers hold universal truths, which effect every life on Earth. Kabbalist and others trained in the mystical arts agree with him
Skeptics find the meanings found in numbers hard to believe. They say that humans see patterns and extract reason from symbols all around us, but the fact is numerology does work and only a talented celebrity numerologist as Michelle Arbeau can help us to interpret what they say. "The universe can be counted, sorted and measured through the use of numbers and the study of numerology. In fact, every word has a numerical meaning, which the average person can understand and pay attention to." She talks about this in her bestselling book, The Energy of Words.
Practicing for over 11 years, Ms. Arbeau told me of her near death experience at the age of four, which led her to more psychic talents and then how she stumbled into numbers and began realizing the significance of them in her life. Self-taught, seeing numbers at a deeper level than others, she is acknowledged as an global expert with many high profile clients and has been seen on many international television shows. "Numerology isn't metaphysics, it's quantum physics. Numbers are the language of the universe and can provide answers and insight into all areas of life."
In her book Soul Numbers, she helps the ordinary reader decipher the meaning of the numbers around them so that they can better navigate their lives. Going from the history of numbers and how the science came about, Michelle goes into basic numbers and how to calculate the numbers in your life. It helps you to understand why you keep seeing the number 11 or number 6 or any numerical sequence that seems to keep popping up for you. Like the Rosetta Stone deciphering an ancient code, Soul Numbers gives you keys to move forward.
I had been one of those skeptics, at first, but after I met Michelle, I was convinced of her talent. She told me that as an 8, with six's prominent in my life, I was meant to be a writer and that my husband, who also turns out to be an 8, was my soul mate. She pinpointed my daughter exactly, describing not only her future, but her faults, as well.
Meet Michelle Arbeau and get some insight into your life, perhaps even win a free in-depth 45 min session with this celebrity numerologist. You can meet her January 9th, 2014, at the Elysium Healing Arts and Wellness Center, (2907 W Olive in Burbank,) at 6:30 pm or at the Mystic Journey Bookstore in Venice (1624 Abbott Kinney Blvd, Venice) on February 19 or February 27th, 2014.

Five considerations for cooling VoIP
Switches supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) consume more power than non-PoE switches, so whenever you are planning a VoIP installation, you'll also need to plan for higher heat in your data closet. In this tip, find out five power and cooling decisions that will help make your implementation a success.
Network load and voice quality are usually the first issues examined when planning a Voice over IP (VoIP) implementation. But if your plan doesn't also address increased power and cooling requirements, your implementation will fail.
VoIP phones are powered through the network using Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. Power is injected onto the network cable by the switch nearest the phone or by a midspan. Switches and midspans are usually located in a wiring closet. Switches supporting PoE consume more power than non-PoE switches. Much of the additional power is transmitted through the network to phones and other powered devices, but some is consumed in the wiring closet. Midspans also consume power.
More power consumed by a switch or midspan means more heat in the wiring closet. Make sure that AC power supplied to outlets in the closet is adequate for the additional load. Failure to calculate the amount of additional heat and offset it with additional cooling will cause shortened equipment life or even a sudden failure of both the data and voice networks.
Your plan must provide adequate power, but it must do so efficiently. Each unnecessary watt adds cost twice: first, when consumed by a switch or midspan; second, when consumed by additional air conditioning.
Planning your implementation requires five key decisions:
1. Determine how much power is required.
The current PoE standard, IEEE 803.3af, specifies a maximum of 15.4 watts per port, but most VoIP phones require much less power. Find out from your phone vendor how much power the phones need. Phones require more power when off-hook than on-hook. If your installation is a call center where phones are off-hook nearly all the time, your power requirement will be higher than in an office area where only a few phones are off-hook at any one time.
Factor in PoE-powered devices other than phones. Wireless access points and surveillance cameras are typically powered via PoE and usually require more power than a phone.
2. Decide between PoE-capable switches and midspans.
If your switches are otherwise adequate and do not need to be replaced, midspans can be more cost effective than replacing switches just to gain PoE capability.
If you intend to replace switches, determine the number of powered devices and the amount of power they will consume. If all or most of the switch ports will support PoE devices, PoE switches can be the most efficient approach. If only a fraction of the ports require PoE support, a midspan can be less expensive to buy and can use less power than a switch with PoE available on all ports (but unused on most).
Midspans also require rack space. If space in the closet is at a premium, midspans may not be an option.
3. Choose switches or midspans that are adequate but as efficient as possible.
Some switches and midspans can supply the full 15.4 watts on all ports simultaneously. Others are limited to a lower total amount of power but provide sufficient power because most powered devices do not require 15.4 watts.
Consider two switches driving an identical set of devices: one capable of 15.4 watts on all ports simultaneously and the other capable of less total power. The switch with higher power capacity will operate its power supply at a lower fraction of capacity. Power supplies are less efficient at lower fractions of capacity, so the higher-capacity switch will consume more power and radiate more heat into the closet.
Some switches and midspans use a method specified in the standard to measure the power required. When a powered device starts up, the switch or midspan exchanges signals with it to determine its power requirement.
The device can request one of the three levels defined in the standard. The standard defines levels of 4.0 watts, 7.0 watts and the full 15.4 watts. A device that requires, for example, 7.1 watts exceeds the 7.0 watt level and must request 15.4 watts. The device may need 7.1 watts at certain times only, but since the requirement is sensed only on startup, the device must be allocated 15.4 watts at all times.
Other switches and midspans use "managed power" to continually sense device power requirements and allocate to each the exact amount of power needed at that time. "Managed power eliminates the need to allocate maximum power to each PoE port. Managed power utilizes the power supply in a more efficient way by running a lower-capacity supply at higher levels of efficiency," said Sharon Dagan, product manager at PowerDsine, a manufacturer of midspans and PoE integrated circuits used by leading switch manufacturers.
4. Protect your network against power failures.
If you already have an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to maintain your data network through a power failure, you will need to increase its capacity. If you don't currently provide uninterruptible power, you will need to add a UPS. Your users will expect phones to continue to work through a power failure.
Remember to factor in the power required and heat generated by either a newly added UPS or a higher-capacity unit.
5. Plan for the future.
Devices such as video phones and full-motion video cameras require more power than 802.3af-capable switches or midspans can provide. The IEEE Power over Ethernet Plus committee is currently working on 802.3at with a goal of increasing the amount of power available. If these or other power-hungry devices may be in your future, discuss with your switch or midspan vendor how to plan now for a transition to support for the new standard.
