The Corps of Signals is well poised to exploit the state-of-art modern communication techniques for meeting the requirements of the Indian Army in the 21st century. Some of the areas where the Corps is already in the process of exploiting are the Cellular Radio (both GSM & CDMA), WLL, mobile trunked radio, mobile satellite systems, OFC and so on. Advanced data transmission techniques such as SDH and PDH are also being used.
Army Radio Engineered Network (AREN)
"This indigenously conceived Area Grid Radio Communication system for the formations launched more two decades ago has since grown into a potent tool for the Commanders to exercise Command and control and automated interoperable information and decision support systems in their area of responsibility. The PlanAREN communication System is being replaced by state-Of-The–Art Tactical Communication System (TCS). The project is being progressed as per 'Make' Procedure of Defence Procurement Procedure.
Army Static Switched Communication Network (ASCON)
The ASCON was evolved to integrate the telecommunication infrastructure of the hinterland with the tactical communication networks. It is a digital, fully automated, secure, reliable and
survivable static communication system based on microwave radio, optical fiber cable, and satellite and mill metric wave communication equipments. Value added Services such as FAX, TELEX, Data Transfer and Video are also available to defence users on this network.
Troposcatter Communication Systems
The Corps of Signals have harnessed the potential of Troposcatter Communications basically to meet the requirements of mechanised formations operating in rapidly changing tactical environments and for responsive and quickly deployable mobile systems to provide cross-linkages and integration with the communication networks in the tactical zones. The Digital Mobile Troposcatter Systems are operated by specialized Signal Groups. The ASCON was evolved to integrate the telecommunication infrastructure of the hinterland with the tactical communication networks. The ASCON Ph 3, was inaugurated by the Hon'ble Raksha Mantri at Vigyan Bhawan on 13 Sep 06.
Satellite Communication (SATCOM)
Conventional communication system derived over field and permanent lines and radios could not be satisfactorily establishment over mountainous and snow-clad areas of borders in India. Hence, the Corps has developed expertise and are already exploiting the latest facilities available by using satellites for the far flung areas devoid of communication and for UN Missions. For exchange of formal correspondence directly from desktop-to-desktop, without manual handling/intervention advance version of Army Wide Area Network is being fielded.
Strategic Broadband Satellite Network
The satellite network having geographically redundant hubs. It was dedicated to the nation by Hon'ble Raksha Mantri on 07 Aug 05.
Computer Data Networks
The Corps of Signals has done pioneering work in spreading computer literacy in the Indian Army since the 1960s. At present the Corps is providing the pivotal role and infrastructure in exploiting Information Technology (IT) for data communications, weapon control and management systems. The fast proliferation of IT is providing an ideal incentive to the IT specialists both graduates and post-graduates (hardware/software/skinware) from the civil to join the Indian Defence Forces.
Electronic Warfare (EW)
EW has become one of the most potent Force Multipliers and a technologically challenging field in which the Signals have developed expertise. EW has played a stellar role in anti-insurgency and low intensity conflict operations besides the conventional operations conducted in Sri Lanka and Kargil.
Static Peace Communications
Signals is providing standard subscriber communication services to the Army during peace time by way of telephone, TELEX, FAX, e-mail, voice-mail and data transfer by establishing state-of-art communication systems and networks.
Strategic Alliance with BSNL
Strategic Alliance between Army and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) was worked out so that resources of the BSNL and strength of the Army can be shared in mutual interest. BSNL has also provided all the OFC terminal equipment at ten locations of the Army enroute. The project was inaugurated and dedicated to the Nation on 05 Oct 05 by Mr Dayanidhi Maran, Minister of Communications and IT.
Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT)
CERT-Army was established by ACSE to respond to cyber security incidents within Army in Oct 05. It has become the single point of contact for responding to all computer security incidents. The CERT-Army was formally inaugurated by the Chief of Army Staff on 14 Oct 05.
Development of OFC Infrastructure in Eastern Command
A Working Group has been constituted under the SO-in-C for development of OFC communication infrastructure in the North Eastern States as a joint effort of BSNL, Ministry of IT and Department of Development of North Eastern Region.
Network for Spectrum
A "Network for Spectrum" project is being implemented by the DoT in exchange for spectrum being released from Defence quota. The Network will provide additional overlay and strengthen our communication infrastructure and improve redundancy.
Central Data Centre
Centralised Data Centre for Army for hosting of application for the various directorate/branches has been created.
Network For Spectrum (NFS) has been planned as an Exclusive Optical Fibre based 'Nationwide Communication Network' for Defence Services. This will be a Countrywide Secure, Multi service and Multi protocol Converged Next Generation Network based on Exclusive and Dedicated Tri-services Optical Transport Backbone. NFS will be a "Next Generation Network" based on Highly Resilient and Virtualized IP/ MPLS backbone and Gigabit Optical Access Networks based on Fault Tolerant Carrier Ethernet transport technologies. The complete network will be controlled from Geo Redundant Central and Regional Network Operating Centres.

Do no harm
General Assembly needs to find prescription for pensions
The best thing that can be said about the just-completed, lame-duck session of the Illinois General Assembly is that lawmakers, at least, did no further harm.
They didn't do anything to fix Illinois' sinking public pension systems or dire fiscal situation, sadly. But the way things went down the last lame-duck session two years ago, when Gov. Pat Quinn and Democratic legislators rammed through a massive, last-minute tax increase, we might just chalk up "doing no harm" as a win.

List of presidents of the Royal Society
The president of the Royal Society (PRS) is the elected director of the Royal Society of London who presides over meetings of the society's council.
After informal meetings at Gresham College, the Royal Society was officially founded on 28 November 1660 when a group of academics decided to found 'a Colledge for the Promoting of Physico-Mathematicall Experimentall Learning', acquiring a Royal Charter on 15 July 1662[1] that nominated William Brouncker as president. The royal charter also stipulated that future presidents should be elected by the council and fellows of the society at anniversary meetings each year on St. Andrew's Day (30 November).
The details of the presidency were described by the second Royal Charter, which did not give any limit for how long a president could serve and there were considerable fluctuations of a president's term of office until well into the nineteenth century. By then, sentiment had turned against electing wealthy amateurs solely because they might become patrons of the society and, in 1847, the society decided that Fellows will be elected solely on scientific merit. By current society statute, a president can not serve for more than 5 years.[2]
The current president is Sir Paul Nurse.[3] Historically, the duties of the president have been both formal and social. The Cruelty to Animals Act 1876 established the president as one of the only individuals capable of certifying that a particular experiment on an animal was justified, and in addition he acted as the government's chief (albeit informal) advisor for scientific matters. At the same time, the president was tasked with entertaining distinguished foreign guests and scientists.[4]Since the 1870s it has been usual (with a few exceptions) for each president to serve for exactly five years.
The changeover of presidents occurs on the Royal Society Anniversary Day, the weekday on or nearest to 30 November, after the departing president's Anniversary Address.[5]

Former McHenry cop admits stealing from evidence
WOODSTOCK – A former McHenry police officer pleaded guilty Tuesday to theft and official misconduct, admitting that he took seized drug money.
Dale A. Hojnacki, 36, was charged in April after a routine department audit discovered the money was missing.
Hojnacki initially was charged with two counts of theft under $10,000 and later indicted on an additional five counts of official misconduct. He pleaded guilty to one count of each charge, both Class 3 felonies, with the remaining counts dismissed.

Dates That Destroyed America
by Chuck Baldwin
Posted on Mar 24, 2010
hat tip: Chuck Baldwin Live
Passage of the so-called "health care reform" bill in the House of Representatives this past Sunday, March 21 (I won't even address the inferred unconstitutionality of Congress doing business on the Lord's Day. See Article. I. Section. 7. Paragraph. 2.) drove yet another stake into the heart of America. For all intents and purposes, it is the health of the United States that is in dire need of healing. In fact, the US has been on extended life-support for decades. With its condition being rendered critical, and absent major surgery, its days are numbered. The passage of this bill only serves to further weaken an already frail Constitution.
In fact, this one may prove to be the fatal blow. Lady Liberty may never recover.
The decision by Congress to socialize medicine in the US ranks among the most draconian, most egregious, most horrific actions ever taken by the central government in Washington, D.C. This bill rocks the principles of liberty and constitutional government to the core. It changes fundamental foundations; it repudiates historical principle. Oh! The same flag may fly on our flagpoles, the same monuments may grace our landscape, and the same National Anthem may be sung during our public ceremonies, but it is not the same America. The Congress of the United States has now officially turned America into a socialist state.
On March 23, 2010, President Barack Obama signed the health care bill into law, and as such, this date–along with March 21–joins a list of dates that have each inflicted unconstitutional, socialistic, and sometimes even tyrannical action against the States United and have, therefore, contributed to the destruction of a free America.

One of my co-workers recently came by my office to show off a new gadget. "It's a Kindle Fire," he exclaimed. Shining in the bright office light, I could see why it was such an attractive piece of technology – Internet, books, movies, music and more, all in one sleek, smooth tablet.
And while my co-worker was clearly exuberant about his new toy, I didn't feel much for it.
Don't get me wrong – like any 20-something, I enjoy modern technology. I have a slew of Apple products (okay, maybe three, but still), and I appreciate cool apps that tell me when the train is arriving, what restaurant will deliver a cheeseburger at midnight, and when my favorite musicians are coming to town.
But the tablet is one gadget that I haven't given in to purchasing yet. It's not really the tablet that I have a problem with, or else I wouldn't have an iPhone, which does just as much, except on a smaller screen. My issue lies with the e-reader.
Whether it is the Kindle or the Nook, all e-readers evoke the same sentiment within me, and that's discomfort. I admit it – I am uncomfortable with reading books in digital form.
As a writer, I feel a love for words that only other writers and bookworms may relate to. To me, the written word is sacred and the act of writing, almost a holy experience. Think of all your favorite authors or pieces of literature, whether ancient or modern: those books were all born out of nothing. Those writers created masterpieces by filling countless pages with carefully placed letters, words and sentences, each of them playing a specific role and holding a particular place. The meaning and the significance of the work as a whole depended on the placement of each character.
Yep, it's that serious (for me, at least.) I may have exaggerated a little bit for dramatic effect, but the meaning remains the same. Writing has always been a visceral and physical experience, in addition to emotional. And while we still write on the computer by physically pressing on the keys, we rely on the digital technology to make those letters appear on the screen. A middle man is involved in the craft.
On the typewriter, at least, you were still responsible for the mechanics of placing the words on the page. And there once was a time when people used to dab quills in ink and then place them on paper in order to write, and there was a time even longer ago when you had to carve words into stone tablets.
No, I don't want to start carving words into stones. Yes, I acknowledge and understand all the limitations with previous forms of written communication. My point is, you used to have to be physically and emotionally involved, truly connected, with the medium in order to write and create words. And with digitization, I am just afraid to feel removed or disconnected from the words that I read or write.
I love folding down my favorite pages on books, or seeing the color of the pages change with age. It makes me feel connected to the history that I share with that book, the same way I feel it when I open up old journals from my teenage years. Why do we like keeping old postcards or letters from loved ones? Because as people, we often connect most to what we can touch, and feel emotions strongest when there is something to physically hold on to.
Overall, I definitely see the benefit of e-readers. They save paper, allow you to read a different book as soon as your mood changes, and let you carry your favorite words with you wherever you go. I will probably end up purchasing one – someday. All I hope is that there won't be a day soon when physicals books are gone forever.

It is a lot of fun to knit toys. The first toys I ever made were the "Buddy Toys" on the Bernat Blog. I gave them to a battered children's shelter in my area, and they really loved them! I used Bernat Baby Stretchto make them, and they were so soft! I really should make another one of those, to keep for myself.

Andrew Smith //
Teenage Road Trip
'And I knew we shouldn't get into that car, but at the same time I wanted to say something to her, at least to say thanks, but I couldn't force anything out of my mouth and I just followed Mitch and Lilly as they led Simon and me toward that idling black convertible.'
At Booktunes at least one of us is in love with the red deserts and mesa's of New Mexico and Arizona, so when Andrew Smith' YA novel In the Path of Falling Objects came rolling by I made sure to hitch a ride.
Andrew Smith sets the heroic but terrifying road trip of 16-year-old Jonah and his younger brother Simon in the red and blistering-hot lands of the Southwest.
It's the early seventies and America is a country in turmoil. Left by their mother, their older brother and lifeline Matt shipped off to fight a war in Vietnam, Jonah and Simon have no choice but to set off on a journey to find their maybe-soon-to-be-released-from-jail father in Arizona. They leave with nothing but ten dollars, a notebook in which Jonah draws the account of their trip, a stack of letters from Matt and Jonah's promise to Matt to keep his little brother safe.
Lured by the stunningly beautiful girl in the passenger seat, they accept a ride from a man in a 1940 Lincoln Cabriolet: Lilly and Mitch. While the crackling car radio ominously plays Free's "All Right Now", Jonah's gut tells him to run.
And they should've, because underneath Mitch' friendly hippy appearance looms the disturbed spirit of a psychopath and soon Jonah and Simon are trapped in his violent game, with Lilly's flirting with Jonah driving Mitch to the edge.
In the Path of Falling Objects is Andrew Smith' second novel. It won him the Children's Literature Council Award 2010 and the Southwest Book Award 2011. It started out as a short story that gathered dust and cobwebs in an abandoned writing desk for a long time, but for some reason Smith came back to it and rewrote it into this mesmerizing coming-of-age novel. I am glad he found it again, for it turned out to be one of my best reads this year. Partly based on true experiences – he had an older brother who fought in Vietnam – Smith paints us a gruesome picture of both the brutal and spine-chilling road trip and, through Matt's letters to Jonah, of the Vietnam War. Songs like "American Woman" and "Let It Bleed" take you to the seventies, to war-ridden times filled with confusion and violence.
Smith is a master in sucking you into his protagonist's head. His skilful writing makes sure that the chaos of the country wrapping around Jonah's world tighter and tighter, seizes you from the first to the very last page.
In the Path of Falling Objects is a book that will stay with you a long time; violent and alarming, yet at the same time giving you a heart-warming view of what it means to be brothers.

ALLEN PARK (AP) — Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford has returned to practice.
He joined teammates on the field Thursday morning, a day after sitting out with an injured right hip. Stafford hurt his hip last week in practice and aggravated it in a loss to Tennessee and left the game. The Lions host Minnesota on Sunday.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 NFL draft bounced back last year from two injury-riddled seasons by throwing for 5,000-plus yards, 41 TDs and 16 interceptions, helping Detroit end an 11-year postseason drought.
Stafford proved he could play through pain last year with a sprained right ankle and a broken right index finger that was supported by a splint and covered with a glove.

On September 17, 1787, the Founding Fathers signed the U.S. Constitution. For the past 225 years, the Constitution has served as the supreme law of the land. The Constitution, along with the Bill of Rights and other amendments, define our government and guarantee our rights. Each year, on September 17, Americans celebrate Constitution Day and Citizenship Day. In addition, September 17-23 is also recognized as Constitution Week. During this time, USCIS encourages Americans to reflect on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and what it means to be a U.S. citizen.
We also recognize people who are taking steps to become U.S. citizens. To help them prepare, USCIS offers study resources for the civics and English portions of the naturalization interview and test. The Constitution and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship are important in the United States and prospective citizens may see these items in several places on the naturalization test. There are many questions on the civics test on these two topics, such as, "What is the supreme law of the land?" and "What are two rights of everyone living in the United States?".
For Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, we want to highlight some of the USCIS resources for learners and teachers that are related to this important day.
USCIS has educational materials to help you learn about the United States and prepare for the naturalization process. Here are several products that talk about Labor Day:
In addition to the products highlighted above, USCIS offers free online tools and materials for educators and volunteers. Some examples include:

Strong gains in transient demand over the past few years have led the U.S. lodging industry out of the depths of the recession. However, it wasn't until 2011 that hotels began to see signs of recovery in the group demand segment. Looking forward, the people responsible for planning meetings and exhibitions are optimistic, and it appears that hotels will continue to see more attendees roaming their hallways in 2013.
For several years, PKF has conducted an annual survey of meeting planners sponsored by ConventionSouth magazine. In October of 2012, a total of 79 planners located across the country answered questions about the 2012 and 2013 events they have organized. While the survey focused on events held in the southeast region of the nation, the meeting planners were located throughout the country. Some of the findings of this survey should have a big impact on hotel owners and operators.
To start, the vast majority of planners surveyed stated that the number of events they're organizing in 2013 will equal the number they planned in 2012. But, while the planners expect the volume of events to remain flat, they also anticipate greater levels of attendance and expenditures.
Forty-three percent of the planners we surveyed said they would be operating with a larger budget in 2013 than they had in 2012. In turn, 46 percent are budgeting more for meetings this year than they did last year. Part of the reason for the extra expenditures is the expected increase in attendance. Nearly 90 percent of the survey sample said 2013 average attendance levels would be equal to, or greater than, what they were in 2012.
The planners we surveyed recognize that the hotel industry is recovering and meeting attendees will have to start paying more for hotel rooms. During negotiations for upcoming events, planners have found hotel managers less willing to concede room rates. Last year, hotels offered meeting planners lower room rates as an incentive to book their group only 33 percent of the time. This is down from 58 percent in 2011.
With hotels offering fewer discounts, 72 percent of the survey participants have planned for an increase in room rates in 2013. An additional 10 percent say rates will remain the same as 2012, but labeled existing hotel prices as high.
Resigning the need to pay higher prices, planners are no longer looking at room rates as an area where they can save money. Guestroom price was ranked as the sixth out of 11 areas in the meetings budget for potential cost savings. This is down from a fourth place ranking in 2011.
While room rates are rising, only 16.4 percent of the survey participants have had trouble booking rooms for 2013. In fact, 24.6 percent said rooms are easier to find in 2013 than they were in 2012. This helps to explain why most planners are still not willing to move the dates of their events to save money at their preferred hotel.
Given the perception that rooms are still available in 2013, the lead time for booking events has not changed for most planners. Seventy-two percent of those surveyed said the length of the booking window in 2013 is the same as it was in 2012. Twelve percent said it will increase, but 16 percent say it will shorten.
Consistent with surveys of transient travelers, meeting attendees yearn for free Internet access. According to the perceptions of the planners surveyed, free Internet is the most important meeting site criteria for attendees. Conversely, for meeting planners, complimentary WiFi ranked just ninth out of 16 factors that they deemed as most important when selecting a meeting site.
The selection criteria for a meeting facility rated as most important by the planners are, in order: Available meeting space, willingness to negotiate contracts, price of meeting space, price of hotel rooms, and service standards.
Looking ahead, meeting planners are as optimistic as ever in recent history regarding the health of the meetings industry. Forty-six percent of the planners surveyed believe the industry will be healthier in 2013 than it was in 2012. This is the highest percentage recorded since 2007 for this same survey.
For hotel owners and operators, growth in group business will further boost the record levels of lodging demand next year. While the direct benefit will be felt by the meetings oriented properties, capacity at these hotels frequently leads to greater compression in the overall market, which benefits all hotels.
