Someone asked Chris Snee if Ahmad Bradshaw was obligated to buy the offensive line some sort of trinket after paving the way for him to gain a career-high 200 yards rushing in the Giants' 41-27 dismissal of the Browns yesterday at MetLife Stadium.
Such a display of gratitude would seem appropriate for a unit that dominated the line of scrimmage after the Browns took an early 17-7 lead. But the pleasure of the remaining three quarters was all theirs. No reciprocity needed.
"We owed him that," Snee said. "It's been tough sledding for a while. It was nice to see him finally break though."
For those who thought Bradshaw might have lost a step and the Giants' running game was a figment of someone's imagination, the bulldozing of the Browns offered a reminder neither should be abandoned.
As a team the Giants amassed 243 rushing yards for a 7.1 average per carry, while Bradshaw carried it 30 times for an average of 6.7. Even against a defensively challenged team like the winless Browns, it's an impressive confidence builder heading into Sunday's rematch against the 49ers in San Francisco.
After finishing last in the NFL in rushing a year ago despite winning a Super Bowl, the Giants put emphasis on improving the running game this year. But they had averaged just 89.5 yards rushing over their first four games. The last time the Giants had more than 200 yards rushing was Dec. 13, 2010, against the Vikings.
"It's been a long time since we had a day like that, so it feels good," Snee said. "It's definitely something we're happy about and something we need to try to establish next week."
The offensive line may have done the heavy lifting, but Bradshaw was every bit as tenacious and determined. He ran like a bull again.
"He's as physically tough and competitive as anybody I've ever been around," coach Tom Coughlin said.
Bradshaw won't disagree.
"I love this game more than anybody," he said. "I put all my heart into it and I just feel I'm one of the toughest out there on the field when I'm out there, so I just try to play with it."
His day started on the worst note when he took a handoff from Eli Manning on the first play of the game and the ball hit Snee as the Giants guard was blocking a linebacker. It was a freak play. The Browns recovered and scored a quick touchdown en route to a 14-0 lead. "I'm going to tell you he just needs to wait a split second and cut behind me," Snee said half-jokingly.
Bradshaw fumed about the turnover and used it as motivation for the rest of the game. He keyed the Giants first two scoring drives rushing five times for 33 yards on one series and five times for 24 yards on another. Then he ran for a 4-yard touchdown to tie the game 17-17.
After compiling 80 yards rushing at the half, Bradshaw ran wild in the second half. He used runs of 37 yards and 28 yards to pad his stats before carrying the leather six times for 36 yards in the Giants' final clock-killing series of the game when the offensive linemen wanted him to reach 200. "It's a big number and he's been sticking with us throughout the struggles we've had," Snee said. "It was good to get him to that mark. It's a tough number to get to."
Bradshaw will reunite with former Giants running back Brandon Jacobs next week. Jacobs has yet to play for the 49ers after injuring his left knee during the preseason. No doubt Jacobs will have already heard about Bradshaw's big day. The entire league should take note.
"I'm sure it sends a message to everybody," Bradshaw said. "I'm sure everybody knows what we can do."

The Watonwan County Humane Society is looking for volunteers now to help take care of the pets in the shelter. If you are interested in volunteering, visit the Watonwan County Humane Society website at watonwan.weebly.com
The Watonwan County Humane Society is working to ensure that dogs and cats can find forever homes with loving families in and around St. James.
With pets reproducing at a rate higher than the rate in which they are being adopted, it is more important than ever to get your pet spayed or neutered.
"Our major emphasis over the last year has been spaying and neutering pets, which is a major emphasis of all humane societies," said Cheryl Bjoin, president of the Watonwan County Humane Society. "As more and more people have been spaying and neutering their pet, over the last 20 years the rate of euthanasia in humane societies is a lot less than it used to be."
In February, the humane society sponsored a spay/neuter program in cooperation with the St. James and Madelia veteran clinics. This program was done in collaboration with the Minnesota Spay Neuter Assistance Program (MNSNAP) which brings a mobile van, completely equipped with the tools needed to spay and neuter animals to the area monthly.
MNSNAP gets grant money to run their operations and are able to perform low-cost surgeries for pets whose owners make less than $40,000 a year.
"Everybody needs care, and that's every day," said Bjoin, referring to the cats and dogs at the humane society. "Every day, seven days a week, every single day through the year – it takes a lot of people to be taking care of those animals, and we always need volunteers."
The Watonwan County Humane Society is looking for volunteers now to help take care of the pets in the shelter. If you are interested in volunteering, visit the Watonwan County Humane Society website at watonwan.weebly.com
The website has recently been updated with new information regarding the humane society, including contact information, programs, hours and more.
The Watonwan County Humane Society is offering free farm cats to those loving families who qualify. Farm homes adopting cats must agree to the following:
• Provide adequate food and water year round
• Provide appropriate shelter year round
• Enclose the cats for 5 to 7 days so they can adjust to their new home
Pets are updated and featured frequently on the website, and every Friday, the Watonwan County Humane Society offers free cats for loving indoor homes. The humane society has recently seen an influx of abandoned cats, and is looking for homes for these loving pets.
The Watonwan County Humane Society is open on Tuesdays and Fridays from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Remember to check locally before travelling to find the next member of your family. The humane society in St. James has many pets who are looking for a new home.

Contoh/Example of Report Text in Komodo
Filed under Report
Do you know what is the largest lizard? This lizard is called komodo. It lives in the scrub and woodland of a few Indonesian islands.
Komodo dragon is the world's heaviest lizard, weighing 150 pounds or more. The largest Komodo ever measured was more than 10 feet (3 meters) long and weighed 366 pounds (166 kg) but the average size of komodo in the wild is about 8 feet (2.5 meters) long and 200 pounds (91 kg)
Komodo has gray scaly skin, a pointed snout, powerful limbs and a muscular tail. They use their keen sense of smell to locate decaying animal remains from several miles away. They also hunt other lizards as well as large mammals and are sometimes cannibalistic.
The Komodo dragon's teeth are almost completely covered by its gums. When it feeds, the gums bleed, creating an ideal culture for virulent bacteria. The bacteria that live in the Komodo dragon's saliva causes septicemia, or blood poisoning, in its victims. A dragon will bite its prey, then follow it until the animal is too weak to carry on.
This lizard species is threatened by hunting, loss of prey species and habitat loss.

Game Plan
The positive result of Reilly's recent "break" from school was that I had a chance to have a long talk with his counselor at NYIT about how he is doing in general and what our next steps might be.
While the Vocational Independence Program has been a productive experience for Reilly, we were wondering if he is outgrowing it, and what comes next. We were concerned that he might be "spinning his wheels," getting too comfortable and not making progress toward a life plan.
Happily, my conversation and subsequent email communication with Erin, his counselor, have given me confidence that we/they are on the right path, moving forward.
I told Erin we weren't certain if staying in the VIP program another semester would be productive and the best use of our resources. We don't know if Reilly can (or needs to) complete a four-year degree, or whether it would be worth the price tag in any event. If we got him trained for a job, we could use the money we would spend on tuition to help him with living expenses. Erin argued that academics is one of Reilly's strong points. He's taking two college-credit classes this semester, and many of his peers aren't able to do that. So maybe we shouldn't give up on college just yet.
Reilly's personal goal is to work as an equipment manager for an NFL football team. It's not as crazy as it sounds. A few years ago, his goal was to be a football player at the University of Hawaii and then get drafted into the NFL. We pointed out the unlikelihood of that happening, since he doesn't actually play football, though watching it is an obsession. He reconsidered his career goals and thought maybe he should be a team owner. If only he had a spare billion to buy a team. But he was lucky enough to spend two summers interning at the Washington Redskins Training Camp—his idea of heaven! Interns work under the team's equipment manager, doing things like folding towels and collecting practice uniforms and equipment when the team comes off the field. Reilly also got to operate a machine that snaps the ball for the kickers at practice. One day he got to drive a golf cart around the field, picking up players and returning them to the locker room.
So a sports equipment manager or assistant might be doable, right up his alley. Even if he can't work in the NFL, there are likely other sports facilities or recreation programs that might be a good fit for him. We visited a school in Connecticut that has a sports management program, which, if he could complete it, would be useful for getting a job in the field. The question is whether Reilly is ready for that, and whether he can handle a full course load. The jury is still out.
Meanwhile, Erin said the academic director at VIP had found a Principles of Management course Reilly could take next semester at NYIT. They are working on getting him an internship in the school's athletic facility, which could give him good hands-on experience. Some very positive steps.
For his part, Reilly agreed that he needed to work on some personal goals: hygiene, organizing his schoolwork better, improving his "reciprocal conversation skills." Probably good things for most college-age boys to be working on! So now the question is whether to focus on the school in Connecticut, work on next steps at NYIT, or both. Oh, and of course getting everyone home for Thanksgiving and preparing for the holidays. Always plenty of items on the "to do" list!
But it was nice to hear that NYIT is working on a Reilly-specific plan, to help him take the next step. We're not alone. We're not wasting time and resources. Good to know.

However, there is no abstinent the actuality that agitator blackmail is alteration the patterns of business travel. The key appulse of this is to accumulate in apperception that the companies accouterment biking casework for business travelers allegation to enhance their focus on aegis and the associated risks in carrying the casework to accumulated clients. According to a contempo finding, biking managers accept college admiration of their policy's capability in acclamation accident compared to agnostic business travelers.
Although the accumulated biking area has connected to progress, there are a deluge of challenges faced by the industry. A rapidly alteration customer market, the actualization of new business models, the appulse of technology, counterfeit and accustomed crises are some of the blueprint credibility that allegation to be advised afore planning accumulated trips.

In particular, we want to be able to reason about what knowledge a person must have in order to perform an action, and what knowledge a person may gain by performing an action. The first problem we face in achieving this goal is that the basic facts about knowledge which we need to use are most naturally expressed as a modal logic. There are, however, no known techniques for efficiently doing automatic deduction directly in modal logics. We solve this problem by taking the possible-world semantics for a modal logic of knowledge and axiomatizing it directly in first-order logic. This means that we reason not about what facts someone knows, but rather what possible worlds are compatible with what identifying possible worlds with the situations before and after an action is performed. We use these notions to express what knowledge a person must have in order to perform a given action and what knowledge a person acquires by carrying out a given action. Finally, we consider some domain-specific control heuristics that are useful for doing deductions in this formalism, and we present several examples of deductions produced by applying these heuristics.} }

I got my arm controlled by the infrared remote now, at least somewhat and I hope to have the whole thing controlled soon. After this I might do some telepresence stuff and a few other ideas I have. I hope to have the arm finished soon and start on some other ideas I have. One of my future projects is going to be really awesome. I'll post more later. Till then, cheerio.

August 1, 2012 -
The Financial Services Committee on Wednesday approved a resolution offered by Chairman Spencer Bachus to appoint Rep. Frank Guinta, the committee's newest member, to the Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit Subcommittee and the International Monetary Policy and Trade Subcommittee.
"Rep. Guinta understands that regulatory overkill makes it harder for our economy to recover and for jobs to be created. As a member of the Financial Services Committee, he will play a key role in helping to lift the burden of unnecessary red tape that weighs down small businesses and the small town financial institutions that lend to them," said Chairman Bachus.
Rep. Guinta said, "I am honored by this appointment. In this new position, I'll work hard to help improve the economy for all of us and to return opportunity for everyone. It's also important that job creators have access to credit, so they can grow their payrolls and hire new employees. I will bring that perspective to my duties on the Committee as I continue working to return the good, middle-class jobs that Granite Staters want."

MeridianYachts needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 811 designs submitted by 199 freelance designers.
Meridian Yachts (meridian-yachts.com) - feature is Integrated Vessel Control (IVC)
Meridian Yachts (http://www.meridian-yachts.com) is North America's best selling brand of bridge-style yachts and a worldwide leader in pleasure yachts from 35-60 feet. Meridian Yachts is introducing a new supplemental control system for 2011 that combines operation of two thrusters into one joystick.
Boats have little steering control when backing up (without thrust from the props acting directly against rudders) and have no capacity to move sideways. Thruster systems allow either the front or back end to "scoot" sideways when the respective thruster is engage, and they allow the entire boat to move directly sideways when both are engaged in the same direction at the same time. This is especially helpful in docking situations.
For the new control system, thrusters will be mounted in typical locations at the front and rear of the boat. Thrusters are basically electric propellers mounted at a right angle the main propellers. The implementation of the thrusters is not novel , however the integration into a single joystick for one-handed operation is a key selling point.
The system will be called Integrated Vessel Control and regularly shortened to IVC in literature and sales material. We are seeking a logo and/or typeface presentation of both IVC and the words "Integrated Vessel Control".
Note that logo is for IVC/Integrated Vessel Control only, NOT MERIDIAN YACHTS.

As a result, all submissions need to be sophisticated and marketed toward a knowledgeable boating audience. ClipArt and cartoon graphics are not acceptable, though properly executed vector objects/shapes are allowed.
A logo/icon using the letters "IVC" with or without graphical accompaniment and a coordinating text presentation of the words Integrated Vessel Control. Each element must be able to stand on its own and also in conjunction with the other.
- No neon/bright/in-your-face colors,
- Colors we like: black, silvers, earth tones, blue
Look & Feel
- Clever but not obscure
- If not overtly nautical, at least "at home" in marine publications
- Nothing readily identifiable as "off the shelf"
- No rights-managed images may be included in the design - all components must be original.
The winning logo should be made as vector artwork (.eps or .ai) or a raster file (.psd, jpg) with layers retained and the image must be a minimum of 8" x 8" at 300 dpi. All basic elements must be on separate layers.

I wish I had been surprised by the news that the wink-and-a-nudge nonprofit that dumped $11 million into California's election -- in this instance against Proposition 30 -- has ties to the Koch brothers.
But … not.
As all roads once led to Rome, a lot of the millions poured into conservative causes this year lead to the uber-billionaire brothers. California's Fair Political Practices Commission busted the anonymous Arizona donation, in spite of the group's court appeal to keep its backers anonymous.
INTERACTIVE: U.S. election results
Read The Times story for the connections, which can be as convoluted as an Agatha Christie whodunit.
Almost all of these groups have blandly, vaguely patriotic-sounding names strung together from apple-pie-and-Mom words that some consultant must pluck like lottery numbers from a hopper full of them: "rights … liberty … jobs … responsible … progress … future … American … majority … freedom.''
In this case, said the FPCC, the $11 million from the Americans for Responsible Leadership came from Americans for Job Security, and had been funneled through the Center to Protect Patient Rights.

Hey everybody -
Just got through Chapters 1 - 40 of Wheelock's. I started in on the Loci Antiqui and Loci Immutati. Is it just me, or did the level of difficulty significantly increase from between Chapter 40 and the Loci Antiqui?
Loci Antiqui 1:
I'm having trouble with the second line. The first two lines are:
"Miser Catulle, desinas ineptire,
et quod vides perisse perditum ducas."
The first line is pretty straightforward: "Miserable Catullus, (let you) stop playing the fool..."
The second line has got me all kinds of messed up: "and what you see to have destroyed (let you) lead to destruction"
It's the four verbs in a row that's killing me. Can't make heads or tails of it. And is "quod" functioning as a relative pronoun or as the conjunction "because"?
Loci Immutati 4:
"Multas per gentes et multa per aequora vectus
advenio has miseras, frater, ad inferias,
ut te postremo donarem munere mortis
et mutam nequiquam adloquerer cinerem,"
And here's my go at this (have trouble with line 3)
"Having been carried through many nations and many seas
I come, brother, to these miserable offerings of the dead,
so that I might finally give you ________
and address your mute ashes in vain."
"munere" in line 3 is ablative, and then mortis is genitive. Is "munere" in line 3 an ablative of means: "so that I might give you, by means of a gift"? And then how would mortis function and what would it modify?
Thanks in advance for any help!

LOS ANGELES – A minivan apparently went through a red light today and collided with a Metro Blue Line train south of downtown Los Angeles, leaving a dozen people injured, two seriously, authorities said.
Paramedics were sent to 328 E. Washington Blvd. shortly before 10 a.m. Ten patients were transported in fair condition for hospital treatment, and two were transported in serious condition, said Katherine Main of the Los Angeles Fire Department. One person declined medical aid, she said.
According to the preliminary investigation, the Toyota Sienna was southbound on Maple Avenue when the driver ran a red light and the minivan collided with the train, said Paul Gonzales of Metro.
The driver of the Toyota was among the injured, according to Gonzales, who said 10 people were injured on the train.
Trains were "single tracking" between the Washington and Venice station while crews worked to clear the accident scene, a process that took about an hour, Metro reported. During that time, travelers experienced delays of about 15 minutes.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyThis shy, seldom seen deer is generally solitary or occasionally seen in pairs (6) (7). It feeds predominantly on fruit when available, but will turn to a diet of leaves during periods when fruit is scarce (2) (6). Fungi may also constitute an important part of its diet during the wet season (2). When they sense danger, red brockets have a habit of freezing (7), but they can also run with a leaping gait and, being capable swimmers, will readily take to the water to escape a predator (2) (3). Their dagger-like antlers also makes them capable of damaging combat (3). Calving may take place year round (3) (7), although in some areas there is a peak, such as in Surinam where it mainly takes place from September to April (6). The gestation period is long, lasting from 218 to 228 days (3), and a single young is produced (2). The young deer, which lose their spots after two or three months, mature rapidly and may breed by the age of just 11 months (3). In captivity, an individual lived for over 16 years (7).

Explanation: How much of planet Earth is made of water? Very little, actually. Although oceans of water cover about 70 percent of Earth's surface, these oceans are shallow compared to the Earth's radius. The above illustration shows what would happen is all of the water on or near the surface of the Earth were bunched up into a ball. The radius of this ball would be only about 700 kilometers, less than half the radius of the Earth's Moon but slightly larger than Saturn's moon Rhea which, like many moons in our outer Solar System, is mostly water ice. How even this much water came to be on the Earth and whether any significant amount is trapped far beneath Earth's surface remain topics of research.

It would be nice if another diagram showed how much water is potable.
Perhaps the fresh water ball would be too small to show up at that scale.
Indeed you are correct. Eventually, probably not to long from now desalination will be required to supply the water needs of humans and crops.
I'd read that the snow pack was high this Winter, but then read about severe drought in the West. This was confusing until I learned that
...last winter's snowpack was relatively high. But the spring runoff never came, because the snow evaporated straight into the air of the hottest spring on record. [emphasis mine]
As Farms Bite the Dust, "Megadrought" May Be the New Normal in the ...
So even as the water cycle increases 4%, and we get more rain and snow, we also get more drought. Climate Destabilization isn't fair! I knew that some rain would evaporate before it hit the ground, but didn't imagine an entire snow pack sublimating.
Apparently ice gets this appearance after sublimating for several days.
I found your article quite compelling. One comment:
" the last century's human population growth in the American Southwest occurred during a relatively wet period in the climactic record. We were due for another megadrought sooner or later which could be expected to dramatically alter human settlement patterns in the area. While this current heat may not be caused by global warming, climate change could nonetheless trigger the next megadrought."

If ever warming water becomes toxic due to cyanobacteria, human health and wildlife suffer. Spain already has a problem with toxic cyanobacteria contaminating reservoirs upon which the public depends.
Global Warming Favors Proliferation of Toxic Cyanobacteria
"Cyanobacteria love warm water, therefore an increase in temperature during this century may stimulate their growth, especially that of the cytotoxic varieties, which could even produce more toxins and become more harmful,"...
"These toxins may affect the liver and other organs (hepatotoxins), the nervous system (neurotoxins), different cells (cytotoxins), the eyes and mucous membranes, as well as causing dermatitis and allergies,"...
approximately 20% of Spanish reservoirs (278 were sampled) revealed cyanobacteria in concentrations of more than 2 mm3/l, the guide level established by the WHO for bathing water quality.
In the group exceeding the limits, in 45% of the cases concentrations of microcystins (toxins which particularly affect the liver) were found at above 1 microg/L, which is the value recommended by the WHO and the maximum level established by Spanish legislation for bathing water.[emphasis mine]
Canada has widespread toxic cyanobateria contamination of freshwater lakes too.
Potent Human Toxins Prevalent in Canada's Freshwaters
A new paper just published in the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences shows that microcystin, a toxin produced by cyanobacteria, is present in Canadian lakes in every province.
"Canadians enjoying their summer at the cottage need to know that those green scums of algae washing up on their beach are not only unsightly, but can also be a threat to their health and their children's health,"...
"Blue-green algae present a growing health concern for domestic, agricultural and recreational water use in Canada and world-wide," warns Dr. David Kinniburgh, the Director of the Alberta Centre for Toxicology at the University of Calgary. "The microcystin toxins they produce can cause acute liver failure in humans and may even cause cancer with long-term exposure." [emphasis mine]

QoS Design Considerations for Virtual UC with UCS
From DocWiki
m (1 revision)
Revision as of 15:45, 3 November 2011
Go to: Before You Buy or Deploy - Considerations for Design and Procurement
Go to: Shared Storage Considerations
This section covers best practices guidelines and recommendations for LAN access for UC VM application traffic (e.g. voice/video media and signaling). This section does NOT cover best practices for storage access (e.g. VM to SAN/NAS-attached array).
UCS Network Switching Hardware Compatibility
By default, UC on UCS permits any model of UCS 2100, UCS 6100, UCS 6200 and future product generations as long as the LAN access and storage access requirements of the UC VMs are met. There are no UC-specific rules on models or firmware levels, other than that some designs will require use of Specifications-based hardware support instead of Tested Reference Configurations.
However, recall that use of UCS 6100/6200 with UCS C-Series are only supported via specs-based VMware support, and not via UC on UCS Tested Reference Configurations.
Guidelines for Physical LAN Links, Trunking and Traffic Sizing
Physical Links
Redundant physical LAN interfaces are recommended.
Cisco UCS B-Series connect to the LAN via UCS 6100, so use redundant 1Gbps or 10Gbps ports on the UCS 6100.
Cisco UCS C-Series tested reference configurations ship with two or six 1Gbps Ethernet ports (two on the motherboard for C210 or C200 plus on C210 additional four on a PCIe NIC). The recommended best practice configuration when using this tested reference configuration is:
- One or two pairs of teamed NICs for UC VM traffic. One pair is usually sufficient on C200 due to the low load per VM.
- One pair of NICs (teamed or dedicated) for VMware-specific traffic (e.g. management, vMotion, VMware High Availability, etc.)
If using specs-based VMware support, other LAN interconnect options may be used, such as using Cisco VIC in NIV mode instead of multiple physical NICs.
Whether or not you configure the UC VM traffic links as trunks depends on your deployment - UC applications do not mandate this. E.g. if most of your VMs are in the same VLAN, then trunks may not be needed. If you decide to use trunks, 802.1q is recommended over ISL.
VM vNIC traffic can be tagged with 802.1q in case you use a trunk to your VMware host and use a VLAN other than the native VLAN. UC applications do not mandate this, and recall that any tags will be removed by the vSwitch before traffic enters the VM.
LAN Traffic Sizing
Besides redundancy, link quantity and speed will depend on aggregate LAN traffic of UC VMs. Most UC VMs have only one or two vNIC's. Each vNIC will use 1Gbps if available, but does not require this much bandwidth.
Use the design guides to size UC VM LAN traffic. For example:
- CUCM VM traffic bandwidth = Database Replication + ICCS + Signaling + MOH + CFB + MTP + TFTP as described in http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/srnd/7x/models.html
- Cisco Unity Connection VM traffic bandwidth = port media traffic + Database replication + Exchange traffic as described in http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/design/guide/8xcucdg060.html#wp1052981
This traffic sizing can be used to size LAN access links to handle the aggregate bandwidth load of the UC VMs.
- On Cisco UCS B-Series, this can be used to size FEX links for UCS 2100 to UCS 6100, and LAN access uplinks from UCS 6100
- On Cisco UCS C-Series, this can be used to size motherboard and PCIe NICs
QoS Design Considerations for VMs with Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers
In a virtualized environment, Unified Communications applications such Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) run as virtual machines on top of VMware. These Unified Communications virtual machines are connected to a virtual software switch rather than a hardware-based Ethernet switch for Media Convergence Server (MCS) deployments.
The following types of virtual software switches are available:
- Local VMware vSwitch: Available with all editions of the VMware ESXi hypervisor and independent of the type of VMware licensing scheme. Virtual software switching is limited to the local physical blade server on which the virtual machine is running.
- Distributed VMware vSwitch: Available only with the Enterprise Plus Edition of the VMware ESXi hypervisor. Distributed virtual software switching can span multiple physical blade servers and helps simplify manageability of the software switch.
- Cisco Nexus 1000V Switch: Cisco has a software switch called the Nexus 1000 Virtual (1000V) Switch. The Cisco Nexus 1000V requires the Enterprise Plus Edition of VMware ESXi. It is a distributed virtual switch visible to multiple VMware hosts and virtual machines. The Cisco Nexus 1000V Series provides policy-based virtual machine connectivity, mobile virtual machine security, enhanced QoS, and network policy.
From the virtual connectivity point of view, each virtual machine can connect to any one of the above virtual switches residing on a physical server.
UC virtual machine traffic flows from the application, to the virtual machine's vNIC, then to the VMware host's virtual software switch (one of VMware vSwitch, VMware Distributed vSwitch, or Cisco Nexus 1000V Switch), then out a physical adapter. What kind of physical adapter depends on the compute/network hardware in use:
- E.g. with UCS B-Series Blade Servers, the virtual software switch sends traffic through the blade's mezzanine physical Network Adapter (CNA or Cisco VIC), then through the blade chassis' physical UCS 2100 Series Fabric Extender, then to the physical UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect Switch, and finally through a port module to the rest of the LAN.
- E.g. with UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers, the virtual software switch sends traffic through a local physical NIC, CNA or Cisco VIC, and then to the rest of the LAN (unless the C-Series is attached to a UCS 6100, in which case the NIC, CNA or VIC will send traffic to the physical UCS 6100).
Note that CNA, Cisco VIC and UCS 2100/6100 carry both the IP and fibre channel SAN traffic via Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) on a single wire. If using UCS 6100 Fabric Interconnect Switches, it sends IP traffic to an IP switch (for example, Cisco Catalyst or Nexus Series Switch), and it sends SAN traffic to a Fibre Channel SAN Switch (for example, Cisco MDS Series Switch).
Standard Switching Element QoS Behavior
By default within the UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect Switch, a priority QoS class is automatically created for all fibre channel (FC) traffic destined to the SAN switch. This FC QoS class has no drop policy, and all the FC traffic is marked with Layer 2 CoS value of 3. By default all other traffic (Ethernet and IP), including voice signaling and media traffic, falls into Best Effort QoS class.
The VMware local vSwitch, VMWare distributed vSwitch, and UCS 6100 Series switches cannot map L3 DSCP values to L2 CoS values. Traffic can be prioritized or de-prioritize inside the UCS 6100 Switch based on L2 CoS only.
|Unified Communications applications mark the L3 DSCP values only (for instance, CS3 for voice signaling). However, it is possible to mark all traffic originating from a blade server Network Adapter with a single L2 CoS value.
The Nexus 1000V software switch has the ability to map L3 DSCP values to L2 CoS values, and vice versa, like traditional Cisco physical switches such as the Catalyst Series Switches. Therefore, when Unified Communications traffic leaves a virtual machine and enters the Nexus 1000V switch, its L3 DSCP values can be mapped to corresponding L2 CoS values. This traffic can then be prioritized or de-prioritized based on the L2 CoS value inside the UCS 6100 Switch.
For instance, voice signaling traffic with L3 DSCP value of CS3 is mapped to L2 CoS value of 3 by Nexus 1000V. All Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) traffic is marked with L2 CoS value of 3 by Cisco UCS. When voice signaling and FCoE traffic enter the Cisco UCS 6100 Fabric Interconnect Switch, both will carry a CoS value of 3. In this situation voice signaling traffic will share queues and scheduling with the Fibre Channel priority class and will be given lossless behavior. (Fibre Channel priority class for CoS 3 in the UCS 6100 Fabric Interconnect Switch does not imply that the class cannot be shared with other types of traffic.)
On the other hand, the L2 CoS value for FCoE traffic can be changed from its default value of 3 to another value, and CoS 3 can be reserved exclusively for the voice signaling traffic. However, Cisco does not suggest or recommend this approach because some Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) cause problems when the FCoE CoS value is not set to a value of 3.
Congestion Scenario
In the physical server design, the hard drives are locally attached to the MCS server, and the SCSI traffic never competes with the Ethernet IP traffic.
Virtual Unified Communications designs with UCS B-Series Systems are different than traditional MCS-based designs. In a virtual Unified Communications design, because the hard drive is remote and accessed via the FC SAN, there is a potential for FC SAN traffic to compete for bandwidth with the Ethernet IP traffic inside the UCS 6100 Series Switch. This could result in voice-related IP traffic (signaling and media) being dropped because FC traffic has a no-drop policy inside the UCS 6100 Switch. This congestion or oversubscription scenario is highly unlikely, however, because the UCS 6100 switch provides a high-capacity switching fabric, and the usable bandwidth per server blade far exceeds the maximum traffic requirements of a typical Unified Communications application.
Design Recommendations
The Nexus 1000V provides enhanced QoS and other features (for example, ACLs, DHCP snooping, IP Source Guard, SPAN, and so forth) that are essential for virtualized data centers and are not available in the other virtual switch implementations. With its capability to map L3 DSCP values to L2 CoS values, the Nexus 1000V switch is recommended for large data center implementations where Cisco Unified Communications Applications are deployed with many other virtual machines running on UCS B-Series system. For other Unified Communications deployments, the decision to use the Nexus 1000V will vary on a case-by-case basis, depending on the available bandwidth for Unified Communications Applications within the UCS architecture. If there is a possibility that a congestion scenario will arise, then the Nexus 1000V switch should be deployed.
An alternative solution if the Nexus 1000v is not deployed, is to use the Cisco VIC card to provide some level of QoS. The Cisco VIC card allows the administrator to create more than 2 virtual Ethernet NICs and a QoS policy can be applied to each virtual Ethernet NIC. Depending on which traffic is the main or most critical to a UC application for your deployment and depending on the corresponding QoS policy required for this type of traffic, the UC application VMs could be assigned different types of QoS.
- For example, for a typical CUCM deployment, the main and most critical traffic is the signaling traffic (assuming CUCM built-in software conference bridge is not heavily used in your deployment for example), which is usually assigned a DSCP value of CS3. So a pair of virtual Ethernet NIC (one active, one standby) can be created in UCS Manager for the CUCM VMs, with a CoS of 3 and a "No Drop" policy.
- Similarly, the main and most critical traffic for CUP is typically signaling traffic and therefore the CUP VMs could use the same virtual Ethernet NIC pair. Note that in this example the FC and UC VMs would both use the same QoS policy with CoS=3 and a No Drop policy, but the active virtual Ethernet NIC for FC could be configured to use one of the Fabric Interconnect switch and the active virtual Ethernet NIC for the UC VMs could be configured to use the other Fabric Interconnect switch. FC and the UC VMs would use the same Fabric Interconnect only in case of failure.
- For Cisco Unity Connection or Cisco Unified Contact Center Express, real-time audio traffic is typically the most critical traffic and they could be configured to use a virtual Ethernet NIC pair that is assigned a QoS policy where CoS=5 and packet drop is enabled, similarly to what we have with a EF DSCP marking.
In general, the downside to this approach is that ALL traffic types in a UC VM will have their CoS set to the same value and lower priority traffic in the VM (for example backups, CDRs, logs, Web Traffic...) would have the same CoS value as other higher priority traffic such as signaling or real time audio. In order to implement an optimal solution, the Nexus 1000v should still be deployed because it can mark different types of traffic with different CoS values, even if the different traffic flows are part of the same VM and are using the same vNIC.

When was the last time you reverse-engineered all the PCI devices on your motherboard?. . . Enters the game-changer: IOMMU (known as VT-d on Intel). With proper OS/VMM design, this technology can address the very problem of most of the hardware backdoors. A good example of a practical system that allows for that is Xen 3.3, which supports VT-d and allows you to move drivers into a separate, unprivileged driver domain(s). This way each PCI device can be limited to DMA only to the memory region occupied by its own driver.

OK So Basically Pick A Anime And Change It In Anyway That You Seem More Fit.
Please Put The Anime That You Want To Change.
Please Respect People Choice On What They Would Change
I Would Change School Days Ending To Where Makoto Was Not Killed, And He Married Kotonoha
(p.s. It ends a little different in the manga)
I would change the ending for Magic Knight Rayearth so that it matches the manga, and the girls can travel between worlds.
I would change the ending of Code Geass so that Lelouch dies in a more painful way. Yes, I mean that.
In the anime Air, I'd either show the reincarnation of Misuzu and Yukito or I'd make Misuzu survive.
As for School Days...Makoto would die in an incredibly painful way and Kotonoha and Seki would be psycho lesbians together. XD
Sailor Moon would actually follow the final arc in the manga and Sailor Cosmos would appear, and Usagi and Mamoru would get married, with Usagi knowing how dark the far future will be for her.
In X, instead of Kamui dying in the end, it would be Fuuma dying and Kamui would be the one to kill him and make it extra painful. Even though I love him, Subaru would die, but only because his life SUCKS so it would be a mercy-killing. Unfortunately the manga is still on hold so I don't know how the actual ending is COME ON CLAMP!...
In Cowboy Bebop, Spike would not die, but it would only be hinted that he survived and got together with Faye. Lol.
As for Puella Magi Madoka Magica...Well, I either would change Madoka's final wish, or I would make Walpurgis Night turn out to be Homura, which would explain why she couldn't defeat it considering it's herself in witch-form.
1% evil. 99% fangirl.
an, an..................... please an
change haruhi to not be so annoying
His Holiness Optimus Maximus Decimus Meridius Colossus Nemesis Nexus Genesis

Lol, I just despise Makoto so much but hey...Whatever floats your boat.
1% evil. 99% fangirl.
Gintoki ends up with Tsukuyo and hilarity ensues as they live together and figure things out
crunchyroll finally did an award
Black Cat
I'd get rid of the filler end plot, how Train met River. And overall end the story the same was the manga.
One Piece
- Luffy actually rescues Ace. Akainu & Sengoku try to kill Ace and Luffy. But Luffy proves to be more stronger. And ends up killing Akainu and Sengoku. Ace comes on board as Luffy's newest crewmate, as a fire user.

Not that I care but you should probably spoiler that or something...
I'd personally choose to add more seasons to Berserk and NANA.
I would make the Mahou Sensei Negima! anime follow its manga 100% correctly, and give it better animation.
Rurouni Kenshin :
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Get rid of the filler third season and replace it with the authentic Jinchuu Arc.
The Girl who Leapt Through Time:
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Have Chiaki kiss Makoto at the end instead of a friendly hug.
Clannad/After Story:
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Either end the story with the tragic death of the daughter, OR, better explain how time "resets" to allow Nagisa to survive.
Black Cat:
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Showcase what Train's intent to do with his life after the story concluded. I almost feel like he was completely written out of the ending, with the exception of him getting off the bus and traveling alone.
Hustle! Hustle!
i would change angel beats to make it longer and give more backgrounds on the side characters, especially TK XD(if u've watched it you know what im talking about). dont get me wrong, i still love the perfect pace and the perfect ending it has, i just wish they couldve kept the same pace and ending while STILL making it longer and more detailed, but sadly that'll never happen :'(
Nanoha. Make it completely Yuri. Have Nanoha as the Seme and Fate as the Uke.
Replace the mechs(though they were cool) in Kannazuki no Miko with lesbian villians.
It's never good enough...
Samurai 7:
Get rid of the robot mech concept and use humans. It's a wonderful story, but throwing in such a weird sci-fi twist seemed unnecessary to me. There is potential that the robot concept is what allowed the Kurosawa estate to approve the show being created, otherwise I would have enjoyed it more without it.
Hustle! Hustle!
Their should be spoiler alerts for us all, but the topic is changing an anime and lets face it don't we all want to change the endings. Mine would be Black Lagoon the last episode of Second Barrage. When the Yakusa girl picked up the sword she would have charged Rock and Revy, cut to a view of the pavment as Revys 92s chink chink they're trademark report two empties tink tink down followed of course by a white feather(could someone please explain the white feathers), cut to the Yakusa girl crumples to the ground as the Katana clatters on the pavement, cut to a hand holding the Baretta Cutlass 92, but it's not Revi's steady hand but rocks shaky one, Pan to Rocks sad but resolute face, continue pan to Revys look of horror and amazement, continue as is. Yeah I thought about it a lot, the girl commiting hara kiri just didn't seem Bushido enough for me.
Ok maybe I should read more manga (nah) but we should have known the story behind Ichigo Kurosakis dad by now
And while I'm here how about a second season of Kaichou wa Maid Sama. I've got a whole story line for who Usui is and how and why he's where he is now.
In Cowboy Bebop , i agree with magicuser360...Spike wouldn't die and since Julia dies, he should've hooked up with Faye...
They'd make a great couple = )
(p.s. i wonder what their kids would look like o_0)
I'm in love with fictional movie characters... So sue me!

University of Illinois Physicist Dr. Myron Salamon To Become Dean of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at The University of Texas at Dallas
Highly Regarded Scientist, Administrator to Assume Post on Oct. 15
RICHARDSON, Texas (July 19, 2006) — Dr. Myron B. Salamon, professor of physics and associate dean of the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, will become dean of the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (NS&M) at The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), effective Oct. 15. Salamon will also hold a newly endowed distinguished chair position in physics.
"I was attracted to UTD by its drive to become a major public research university and, in particular, by NS&M's pivotal role in achieving that goal," Salamon said. "My aim is to make the school a model for 21st Century academic research and education. It will draw strength from traditional disciplines, but will attack scientific and technological problems and the training of young scientists from an integrated, cross-disciplinary perspective."
"We are delighted to have such a highly regarded scientist and administrator as Myron Salamon accept this important academic leadership position at UTD," said university President Dr. David E. Daniel. "This is a key hire for UTD as it pursues its goal of joining the ranks of the nation's top research universities."
Daniel and Salamon were colleagues at Illinois, where Daniel served as dean of the College of Engineering before he became the fourth president of UTD on June 1, 2005.
"Having worked closely with Dr. Salamon, I know him to be both an expert researcher and gifted administrator," Daniel said. "In particular, he is a very effective recruiter of academic talent, which will serve NS&M well as it continues to expand its faculty, degree programs and areas of research. Dr. Salamon is exceptionally well prepared to make a very significant, positive impact at UTD."
Salamon received a bachelor's degree in physics from the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie-Mellon University) and a Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of California, Berkeley. In 1966, he joined the Department of Physics at the University of Illinois, one of the top-ranked physics departments in the United States.
During 1995-96, Salamon served as a distinguished visiting professor with the Japan Ministry of Education at Tsukuba University, and in 1996 was the Matthias Scholar at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Since 2000, he has been the associate dean and director of the Experiment Station in Illinois' College of Engineering.
He is noted for his research in experimental condensed matter physics, phase transitions, superconductivity and the properties of magnetic materials. Salamon is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Neutron Scattering Society.
Dr. John Ferraris, professor and Department Head of Chemistry, has served as interim dean of the school for nearly three years while also continuing his active research program. Daniel thanked Ferraris for his "outstanding leadership in the interim role, which permitted the university to conduct a deliberate, thorough and, ultimately, successful search for a new NS&M dean."
NS&M has grown dramatically in recent years and has taken an increasingly interdisciplinary approach to scholarship. Areas of focus include space sciences, nanotechnology, biotechnology and sickle cell disease research, as well as more traditional disciplines such as geosciences, chemistry, physics, biology and mathematics. The school has two Nobel laureates on its faculty -- Dr. Alan MacDiarmid, co-winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize in chemistry, and Dr. Russell Hulse, a visiting professor and co-recipient of the 1993 Nobel Prize in physics.
The next phase in the school's expansion is expected to occur by year's end, when UTD plans to open a 200,000-square-foot Natural Science and Engineering Research Laboratory, equipped with the latest research facilities and equipment, on its campus.

The Dolphins are apparently not trying to sign tight end Zach Miller at this hour.
The Miami Herald's David J. Neal is reporting the Dolphins haven't had any discussions with Miller's agent. The team hasn't called him and he hasn't called them.
That doesn't necessarily dismiss vaguely worded tweet from ESPN's John Clayton that kinda sorta linked the Dolphins and Miller. But it does definitely quash the possibility that something is going on now.
Yes, I know. You would love the Dolphins to chase Miller. He is a stellar. He is fast. He threatens the middle of the field like no current Dolphins tight end has proven to do.
But the Dolphins have other priorities right now.
Mike Pouncey.
Miller is not currently a priority.

Gamma Essay #2 Topics
Write an essay based on one of these topics. The essay is due at the start of class on 8 Mar.
The essay should be 1400-1600 words in length. Essays must be typed or machine-printed and stapled (no paper clips or folders). Do not use colored paper. Keep a copy of your submitted essay. Use fonts no smaller than 12 points. Use a serifed font, like Times New Roman and not sans serif fonts, like Verdana or Arial. (While sans serif fonts, like this one, are easier to read on monitors, they are harder to read, for me at least, on printed paper.) Have a separate title page with 1) your name, 2) your student ID number, and 3) the group and essay number printed on it. Do not put your name or ID number on the pages of text (I grade "blind"). Number the pages of text. Put the number of the topic you are answering or the first phrase of the topic at the top of the first page of the essay text so that I know what topic you are answering.
There are two margin and line-spacing options:
a) Text may be double-spaced and have 1-inch margins, or
b) Text may be single-spaced but with a 2-inch left-hand margin and 1-inch right-hand margin.

In this day and age, it is not about how much you can offer, but rather how well you can offer it. A customer shouldn't expect to receive quality service from those who call themselves a "ONE STOP SHOP" without any compromises. The saying "you get what you pay for" goes a long way in the automotive scene. After many years in the industry, we learned that if you're willing to compromise the quality of the job by going the cheaper route, remember that in the end, you might end up paying double or triple to fix the mistakes. Do it correctly the first time, do not regret it later.
ONEighty consists of a team of discerning automotive enthusiasts, so the line of trust between the driver & the service provider is of the utmost importance. In order to provide our customer and/or client with the same unmatched quality of service we expect in return, we strive on individually focusing to deliver PREMIUM quality to the service we offer without any compromises.

Warning to parents who smoke pot of state's overreaching authority
Adan Salazar
August 7, 2013
The investigation into the tragic case of two-year-old Alexandria Hill, the toddler that recently died while in foster care, has taken a provocative turn which lays additional blame for her death at the feet of the Texas Mentor program and Texas Child Protective Services.
A CPS caseworker originally determined Alexandria needed to be removed from her parents' custody due to her mother's medical condition and their "actively engaging in illegal drug use around their child." The illegal drug in question was marijuana.
"Mr. Hill admitted to smoking marijuana in the house when his daughter has been upstairs sleeping," the caseworker representing the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services noted in court records obtained by Infowars.
In an ironic twist, an investigation into Alexandria's foster parents by KVUE News found that the foster father with whom Alexandria was placed in late 2012 not only likely used marijuana, but was also convicted of selling it – twice.
"Clemon Small is not charged in the death of 2 year old Alexandria Hill, but he has a criminal history that includes multiple marijuana drug charges and suspended driver's licenses," a report from KRXT states.
According to KVUE, Clemon was convicted in 1989 and again in 1990 of "delivery of marijuana," a crime which carries varying jail time depending on the amount of marijuana being delivered.
The foster father's criminal background apparently did not bar his home from the Texas Mentor program's potential foster parent roster.
"Despite the background," KRXT wrote, "the Department of Family and Protective Services said minor drug charges 10 years old or older do not disqualify potential foster parents."
This latest revelation adds an additional layer of culpability to the program that was in charge of vetting the foster parents, the Texas MENTOR program, as well as the legislative body which originally determined that living with her biological parents posed serious safety concerns.
It also doesn't help that the mentor program's standards are so low, according to its website, that "Just about anyone" can be a mentor.
Alexandria died last week after being taken off life support at the Scott and White Children's Emergency Hospital in Temple. Her foster mother, Sherill Small, told police conflicting stories before admitting she accidentally dropped her while in the middle of shaking her, thus causing blunt force trauma to the head. She faces murder charges and is being held on $100,000 bond.
Alexandria's case should serve as a warning to parents who smoke marijuana that the state can use the non-violent and relatively harmless recreational activity as an excuse to confiscate children, placing them in facilities usually run for profit.
Just as Congress has exempted itself and its top aides from Obamacare, and just as lawmakers are being issued license plates that allow them to thwart traffic cameras to thus avoid fines, CPS and its foster care agency are above scrutiny and will escape prosecution for their dubious choice of foster parents as well as their initial decision to remove Alexandria from her parents.
Despite an immensely spotty track record, the state continues to arbitrarily insert itself into the lives of families, then exempts itself from liability if something should happen.
Sadly, Alexandria is only one out of literally thousands of children who have had to suffer as a result of the CPS system failing miserably.
