|Oracle® Fusion Middleware System Administrator's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition
11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
Part Number E10541-02
|PDF · Mobi · ePub
This chapter describes advanced configuration options that you can set for map views. It includes the following topics:
See Chapter 13, "Configuring Mapping and Spatial Information" for additional information. Before configuring for map views, ensure that you are familiar with the information in the following guides:
Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Oracle MapViewer, which is part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware documentation library.
Oracle Spatial Developer's Guide, which is part of the documentation library for Oracle Database.
MapViewer is installed as part of Oracle BI Enterprise Edition and deployed in the same domain as Oracle BI EE on the web application server. The default context path of MapViewer in the application server is /mapviewer. You can use the administration console in MapViewer to configure it for use with map views.
You can configure a separate remote instance just for MapViewer to act as a proxy that supports the heavy processing load that maps require. If performance is not a major concern, then you can use a MapViewer instance that is co-located with Oracle BI EE as the rendering engine.
The MapViewer engine can serve in the following roles:
Co-located MapViewer — Also known as nonproxy mode. If the MapViewer is located in the same domain as Oracle BI EE and used as the rendering engine, then all map resources (such as JavaScript files and images) are downloaded from that instance of MapViewer.
Remote MapViewer — Also known as proxy mode. If a separate remote instance of MapViewer is configured as the rendering engine, then the browser cannot communicate with the remote instance for resources. Browsers do not allow cross-domain AJAX calls for security reasons. To overcome this limitation, all requests are first forwarded to the co-located MapViewer, which in turn communicates with the actual remote instance.
Complete the following steps to configure for a remote MapViewer:
Edit the RemoteOracleMapViewerAbsoluteURL element in the instanceconfig.xml file, as described in Section 20.2, "Manually Configuring for Map Views."
Edit the proxy_enabled_hosts element in the mapViewerConfig.xml configuration file for MapViewer to point to the MapViewer on the remote server, as shown in the following example:
<security_config> <proxy_enabled_hosts>http://remoteserver:9704/mapviewer</proxy_enabled_hosts> </security_config>
Figure 20-1 shows the preferred architecture for map views, which provides better performance through a proxy than the default architecture that is shown in Figure 13-1. You can store the data either in an Oracle Database or in other databases that Oracle BI EE supports.
Figure 20-1 Preferred Architecture for Map Views
Use various elements in the instanceconfig.xml file to configure map views. Before you begin this procedure, ensure that you are familiar with the information in Section 3.4, "Using a Text Editor to Update Configuration Settings."
To manually edit the settings for configuring map views:
Open the instanceconfig.xml file for editing, as described in Section 3.6, "Where Are Configuration Files Located?"
Search for the SpatialMaps section, in which you must add the following elements:
ColocatedOracleMapViewerContextPath — Specifies the context path of the MapViewer instance that is co-located with Oracle BI EE. The default value is /mapviewer.
RemoteOracleMapViewerAbsoluteURL — Specifies the URL of the remote MapViewer instance. This element has no default value.
If this element has no value, then the system assumes that the map rendering engine is the co-located MapViewer instance (such as /mapviewer). If this element has a value, then the co-located MapViewer acts as proxy for all requests for the remote server. The following example shows a sample value:
<RemoteOracleMapViewerAbsoluteURL>http://remoteserver:9704/mapviewer </RemoteOracleMapViewerAbsoluteURL>
MaxRecords — Specifies the maximum number of records that can be included in a layer on the map. The setting applies to all layers on the map and overrides the MaxVisibleRows element that applies to data cubes. The default value is 500. If the format for a layer causes this value to be exceeded, then a warning message is displayed. The parent element is LayerDataLayout.
MaxColumns — Specifies the maximum number of slices and bars generated for pie and bar graphs on the map. The setting applies to all layers on the map and overrides the MaxVisibleColumns element that applies to data cubes. The default value is 300. If the format for a layer causes this value to be exceeded, then an error message is displayed instead of the map. The parent element is LayerDataLayout.
SyndicatedOracleMapViewerContextPath — Specifies the URL of the MapViewer instance for embedding maps in external pages. For details and an example, see Section 20.4, "Configuring Maps for External Consumption."
Include the elements and their ancestor elements as appropriate, as shown in the following example.
<ServerInstance> <SpatialMaps> <ColocatedOracleMapViewerContextPath>/mapviewer</ColocatedOracleMapViewerContextPath> <RemoteOracleMapViewerAbsoluteURL></RemoteOracleMapViewerAbsoluteURL> <LayerDataLayout> <MaxRecords>600</MaxRecords> <MaxColumns>400</MaxColumns> </LayerDataLayout> </SpatialMaps> </ServerInstance>
Save your changes and close the file.
Restart Oracle Business Intelligence.
You can add any text, such as a copyright string, to the tile layer definition of a map. The text is automatically updated on the map in Oracle BI EE when a tile layer is added or deleted or becomes invisible. The position of the text is also automatically adjusted when the user minimizes, restores, or removes the overview map.
Figure 20-2 shows an example of a copyright string on a map. The string is in the lower-right corner.
Figure 20-2 Copyright String on a Map
To insert text in the tile layer definition on a map:
Create the tile layer.
For information, see Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Oracle MapViewer.
Edit the tile layer definition by selecting it and clicking the Edit / View Details button.
On the Edit page, enter the appropriate text in the Copyright text field.
For example, the following code displays the copyright line that is shown in Figure 20-2.
<copyright>Map data © 2010, NAVTEQ</copyright>
Click the Submit button to save your changes.
If you do not see the updated text on the map, then click the browser's Refresh button to refresh the map.
You can embed map views in external pages, such as those from Oracle Portal, after setting the appropriate configuration options. To embed views that are hosted in a separate Web application server, you can follow the proxy rules that are outlined in the previous sections. Because of browser restrictions, install the MapViewer instance in the same application server as external pages or portals. The proxy context path of the MapViewer instance that is installed in the Web application server that hosts external pages can differ from the application server that is hosting content for Oracle BI EE. In this case, set the SyndicatedOracleMapViewerContextPath element. When the server for Oracle BI Presentation Services identifies a request that originated from a third-party page, the server checks the element value to determine where to pass the proxy requests.
The following example provides sample values for this element.
<ServerInstance> <SpatialMaps> <SyndicatedOracleMapViewerContextPath>/mapviewer</SyndicatedOracleMapViewerContextPath> <RemoteOracleMapViewerAbsoluteURL>http://myserver:9704/mapviewer</RemoteOracleMapViewerAbsoluteURL> </SpatialMaps> </ServerInstance>

In many cultures it is considered polite to wish people well on religious holidays (e.g. Christmas, Ramadan, Diwali). I often receive (Christmas) seasons greetings from various (usually US based) services. While I don't find this offensive, I can imagine some people finding it so.
What if anything should we do over religious holidays to be polite and respectful of peoples beliefs while still not alienating others?
Edit: to clarify, I'm speaking specifically about companies doing things like sending emails or putting something on their website. Not general issues of how people treat each other.

Oh, E! You and your fashion police are always trying to stir up Taylor Swift trouble. But your readers voted, and the overwhelming majority of them love Swift's prim look at the Radio One Teen Awards in London . You wanted her to do something a little crazier than just an elegant white cocktail dress and pumps. Neon shoes, bright pink MAC lipstick, crimped hair, ombre hair — all good suggestions, but just not for Swift. "Live, Taylor, live, before the Kennedy clan descends upon you and swallows you whole in a cloud of bullet bras and slips and hairspray and sensible pumps," E! suggests. But I think Swift's classy look looks just right for who she is now and who she will one day become.

It's not as easy being Denzel Washington's son as you might think. John David Washington joined Steve Harvey on Tuesday's show to discuss his character on the show "Ballers." But when Harvey mentioned that Washington's character having a way with the ladies, Washington noted in reality he struggles with his love life.
"It's hard out here, Mr. Harvey," Washington said. "I have trust issues thinking that [women] pick me because of who my father is."
U.S. & World
Washington said that he used to even lie to people about his famous father's occupation, referring to him in the past as having the actual occupation that his father played in acting roles. But now, in the "Google era" as he referred to it, the truth is inescapable.

In 'Skyfall,' James Bond is back in the iconic 1963-65 silver-birch Aston Martin DB5. I do hope the world is in no big hurry to be saved.
Price as tested: $300,000 (est.)
Powertrain: Naturally aspirated mid-front-mounted 5.9-liter, 48-valve DOHC V12 with variable valve timing and intake geometry; rear-transaxle seven-speed automatic with manual-shift mode and limited-slip differential; rear-wheel drive
Horsepower/torque: 565 hp at 6,750/457 pound-feet at 5,550 rpm
Length/weight: 185.8 inches/3,850 pounds
Wheelbase: 107.9 inches
0-60 mph: 4 seconds
EPA fuel economy: 20 mpg, combined city/highway (est.)
Cargo capacity: 13 cubic feet
Bond's automotive anachronism can't go unchallenged. The DB5 was a hot piece in its time: the in-line six punched out to 4.0 liters, triple SU carburetors, a German transmission and a superleggera magnesium-alloy body, which is pretty OMG. The coachwork is sculpturally perfect, the stance heroic, the car's presence as cutting as a sword of ice.
But by modern standards, the 282-horsepower, five-speed DB5 is markedly leisurely motoring. Actually, the average late-model minivan could run it down. Oh, you wanna go, shorty? Anybody ever tell you look like Deputy Dawg?
It's not like I don't appreciate the DB5, a suave, powerful and exclusive car with few rivals in its era, the Facel Vega Facel II and Ferrari Lusso among them. Sir David Brown should be buried in Westminster.
Still, I marvel at this automotive disarmament of Bond's. Is he in some nutty British car club we didn't know about? You know, Bond? Beefy guy, works for the government, owns two Morgans?
What if, instead of the blazing cyborg superpistol that Bond carries in "Skyfall" (a 9mm Walther PPK/S), we hand him the tiny Walther PP from "Dr. No," an archaic, yapping popgun, something a massage-parlor manager would carry? What if we took away his mobile and made Bond use pay phones?
Is it a magical Aston? That opens up some narrative possibilities. The car is actually older than Daniel Craig (born 1968). Maybe it's the Elder Wand.
My point is, it means something. The value of Bond screen time is measured in millions/sec. It is one of the most closely calculated sums in big media. For Aston to use its allotment of utterly indispensable global messaging to promote a cramped, dead-slow, half-century-old jalopy, a car still reeking of Sean Connery, well, it means something. At a minimum, it means some of the slowest car-chase scenes in recent memory.
And speaking of canned goods: Why isn't Bond driving the 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish, the latest and most contemptuously awesome of the company's aluminum-chassis, front-V12 grand tourers? (Yes, 2014—the marque aims to get maximum shelf life out of its model years.) I took one of Aston's $300,000 flagships for a drive in the Buckinghamshire countryside a couple of weeks ago, and for that I would like to now apologize. It got kind of loud.
But what an agreeable beast this is. Sleek, roguishly aristocratic and gallingly fast, the Vanquish represents another 100 or so man-years of development applied to the Aston template. Aston's familiar aluminum structure technology—castings and glued/riveted extrusions, mostly—is here draped in aerospace-quality carbon-composite panels (the 2001-07 Vanquish used superformed aluminum body panels).
Carbon body panels are difficult to paint, so Aston developed a perfecting, glasslike silica coating for a prepaint. The finish on my test car could be measured in fathoms.
The Vanquish looks like a light-heavyweight boxer sewn into his own waistcoat. The fitted tension in the lower fuselage, the sucked-in, negative spaces ahead of the rear wheel arches, are spectacular. The Vanquish draws some of its blood-vent styling, the side strakes, from the company's limited-edition One-77 project. The Vanquish's proportions aren't quite as radical and cab-rearward as those of the One-77, but it's still pretty much a heart attack on sight. Among the flourishes is the Vanquish's rear-spoiler hoop that, being made of carbon composite, required a unique and proprietary tooling process.
Other bullet points for the 2014 Vanquish include an additional 55 horsepower (565 hp at 6,750 rpm) and 37 pound-feet more torque (457 pound-feet at 5,500 rpm) over the DBS. Aston's all-alloy 5.9-liter, mid-front-mounted V12 gets a sprucing up with variable timing on both intake and exhaust sides, as well as freer-breathing intake geometry.
Meanwhile, the Vanquish features an even more ominous, impudent exhaust note. Any time the revs rise past the thresholds for the exhaust bypass valves, the Aston's sound transforms from a somewhat truck-y thud to a concussive, fiery staccato. The off-throttle overrun sounds like ripped bodices flapping on a flagpole.
Refinements over the DBS—the Bond car in the last two movies, incidentally—include a 25% increase in torsional rigidity, says the company, and about a 150-pound reduction in curb weight, which comes in around 3,850 pounds. With the car transferring power to the ground through a single-clutch mid-rear transaxle, the Vanquish doesn't cycle through gear ratios with quite as much impact as a car with a dual-clutch automatic manual transmission, the Ferrari V12, for instance, which also enjoys a 165-hp advantage. With the new-for-2014 launch-control system, the Vanquish is probably capable of hitting 60 miles per hour in about four seconds, as compared with the Ferrari's three flat.
But once the Vanquish is rolling and the road opens up, the sheer, horsey power of the thing is a joy. Romp the throttle at mid-rpm in third gear and you'll get a huge, hydraulic shove in the back, like God has hit you with a water balloon. Sploooff!
For a grand touring car, the Vanquish can get downright flinty in the suspension (the 20-inch, no-profile Pirellis don't help). Sprung with double wishbones, coil springs and adaptive monotube dampers, the car offers a choice of three drive modes—Tour, Sport and Track—with escalating thresholds for the car's engine, transmission, suspension and stability logic. My recommendation is the Tour setting, which allows for a comfortable though quite vivid ride.
The car's steering (hydraulically assisted) is obviously highly developed, keen and responsive, and yet well short of dartiness. The Vanquish is at its absolute best tracking straight and true at high speed, an avenging spirit with diamond eyes. The brakes, as near as I could tell, would stop a train: Dazzling 15-inch-plus ceramic discs beam through the wheel spokes.
The one gripe I have with these cars—the center stack and the navigation display—remains unresolved. While the climate and audio controls have been given a techy updating—with peculiar, mini-donut-like rotary dials for climate and audio functions—the navi display remains small, faraway and low-res, integrated into a pop-up panel atop the dash. It's the one dissonant element in a cabin that's just insane with quilted Alcantara and stitched leather.
Look, I'm all for suspending disbelief. It's fun (every time Bond flashes his Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M in "Skyfall," down a shot). But I'm just not buying Bond's return to the DB5. If my job routinely involves running gunbattles and desperate escapes, I'm going to want heavier tackle.
That, the Vanquish is.

In Summer 2011, the Texas Legislature authorized TxDOT to go to contract on approximately $3 billion
in general obligation bonds for highway improvements. Texas voters approved these Proposition 12
bonds, which are backed by the state's general revenue not by fuel tax revenues, by a vote of 63 percent in November 2007.
Specific Program Areas
Program 2 of Proposition 12 encompasses the following specific program areas:
Public Involvement
TxDOT worked in partnership with MPOs, cities, counties and corridor associations to identify and prioritize needs. TxDOT held meetings with stakeholders and conducted public hearings, including TxDOT's first statewide hearing via video teleconference. Much of this intensive public involvement effort was conducted and completed in four months.
Strategic Partnerships
Partnerships with MPOs, cities, counties and corridor associations were created. Some of the noted strategic partnerships include the following:

Want Jack Bauer's special ops watch
February 20, 2007 by davidallen | Leave a Comment
Filed Under Wearables
If you have ever seen the US hit series 24, then no doubt you are hooked on it. Now is your chance to own the same watch that Jack Bauer wore in series five,
The watch is a MTM Black Hawk Special Ops Watch, to give it its full title, and it appears that Keifer Sutherland liked the watch so much, that he does actually were it when he is not being Jack Bauer, so the watch also has celeb appeal.
Built to special ops requirements the Black Hawk has been designed to withstand to sort of punishment that you would expect from this type of working environment, the watch has a special lighting system that allows the user to see the time and other details without actually becoming a beacon when on a covert operation, but the opposite of that is the external light which is used for signaling and in the event of an extraction, this light is in orange and can be seen for up to a mile away depending on terrain and weather conditions.
What's more because of the robust nature of the watch, changing the batteries may cause the watch to lose some of it strength or maybe even not be put back together properly, so to alleviate this type of accidental damage the batteries are rechargeable and can be charged up in a similar manner as a mobile phone.
To complete your special ops design, you are able to choose between to types of watch strap, the heavy duty Velcro strap design, or the tough black rubber type strap, as additional straps, the watch comes with a brushed black metal bracelet type strap.
The price of this special watch is around £330 or $450 for the basic version, the price can go high, as you are willing to pay, so be careful.

First, a quick mention that avant-garde/alt rock band, Whitewolfsonicprincess has a gig tonight at Uncommon Ground on Devon. The Slowbots are also on the bill. The music starts at 8:00 PM'; admission is $5.00.
Note: These reviews originally appeared in the "Around Hears" section of the Illinois Entertainer.

Mark "Spiv" Grzelak's second outing fronting his band Frosting once again finds him crafting guitar-driven, catchy songs. Much of Frosting II reflects his extensive music biz experience, particularly the biting satire of "Idolatry," and "Little Puppet." On "It'll Be Over," Frosting updates The Byrds' sound in pretty much the same way R.E.M. did. Keyboards player-singer Mary Jane Lee takes over lead vocals on the power pop flavored "Another Summer" and creates spirited harmonies with Grzelak throughout the CD.
Vapor Eyes conjures another inventive collection of mostly instrumental ambient tracks pulsating with synthesizers, echoing percussion, and sound bites, on Golden Beats Volume #1. "Daylight Savings" marches to an infectious groove, while a swirl of synthesizers gives "Glowglobes" an orchestral feel. The press release nails the chill vibe of "Gentle Residential," when Vapor Eyes says these tracks were recorded, "with my cats by my side as the moon hung low in the sky." Vapor Eyes recently sold out a show at Schubas in Chicago.

Father Jim St. George walked out to his mailbox Feb. 18 with his golden retriever Tucker. He opened a letter from Chestnut Hill College, where he has taught theology for about two years, expecting to find a new contract. Instead, the letter stated: "Your services are no longer needed." He began to cry.
St. George, 44, said he would "hate to think" that his homosexuality was a factor in the school's decision. "I don't hide the fact that I'm openly gay," he said.
But he can't be sure, because Chestnut Hill College has not said anything to him regarding his termination.
"Be honest with me and say, 'here's why we had to let you go,'" St. George said. "I felt like a criminal, that I had done something so bad they couldn't even meet with me."
St. George has been the pastor of St. Miriam Catholic Church in Blue Bell for three years. St. Miriam is a part of the Old Catholic Apostolic Church of America, which allows its priests to be gay, straight, celibate or married. St. George said he has been in a relationship with his boyfriend for 15 years.
"Obviously knew my parish, it was never hidden," St. George said. "But I never sat down and put [that I'm gay] on paper."
A Chestnut Hill College spokesperson said the school would release a statement on Monday.
St. George said he believed that an e-mail Blue Bell attorney James J. Pepper sent last week to Cardinal Justin Rigali, Archbishop of Philadelphia, influenced his firing. Pepper forwarded the e-mail to Daily News columnist Ronnie Polaneczky, who reported that Pepper described St. George as "quite plainly a heretic" and that his teaching at a Catholic institution as a homosexual was "scandalous."
Pepper is a former high school teacher in the Philadelphia Archdiocesan school system. Phone calls to his office were unanswered.
Archdiocesan spokesperson Donna Farrell confirmed that the Archdiocese had received the letter, but had not taken any action.
"The Archdiocese had no conversations with Chestnut Hill College regarding [St. George]," she said.
"Obviously this Jim Pepper has influence," said St. George. "I think it has more to do with politics and money than with who I am as an individual."
Since last week, St. George has been besieged with phone calls, e-mails and text messages from his students offering their support.
Chestnut Hill College senior Jessica Murray took one of St. George's classes last fall. She found out about his firing on Tuesday.
"To find this school that claims to be more spiritual than religious has fired him without warning … is ridiculous," Murray said in an e-mail to the Local. "I am disgusted with this school and will not be returning to this school for my master's degree."
St. George said he never shared his homosexuality with his students because it was "not relevant" to the coursework. But in the classroom, he did like to "peel back the onion and find the truth" on a wide array of controversial issues.
Murray has started a petition for Chestnut Hill College to rehire St. George.
"I would hope they would ask me back," St. George said. "But my mission and the rules they state have to be lived out, and I don't see that."
Before his firing, St. George had been preparing for the start of one of his classes –"Theology and Justice."

- 1lb/450g firmly packed plain white flour, preferably unbleached
- 1 level tsp of salt
- 1 level tsp bread soda (bicarbonate of soda)
- 3 oz/75g of raisins
- 2 tbsp of fresh rosemary, chopped
- 14 fl oz/400ml of sour milk or buttermilk to mix
- Pre-heat a very hot oven to 230c or gas mark 8.
- Sieve the flour , salt and bread soda into a large bowl, then add the raisins and rosemary.
- Make a well in the centre. Pour all of the milk in at once. Using one hand, mix in the flour from the sides of the bowl, adding more milk if necessary. The dough should be soft and not too wet and sticky.
- When it all comes together, turn it out onto a well floured work surface. Tidy up the shape and flip over gently.
- Pat the dough into a circle about 1.5 inch/4cm deep. It is traditional in Ireland to cut a cross on the top, to help the loaf to cook evenly.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 200c/gas mark 6 and continue baking for a further 20-30 minutes, or until done. To test, tap the bottom of the bread, if it is fully cooked it will sound hollow.
Ingredients: (Serves 4)
For tartlets:
- 3-4 eating apples
- 4 thin round puff pastry, approx 6 inch/15 cm in diameter
- 1oz/25g of unsalted butter, melted
- a little icing sugar
For the frangipane:
- 3oz/75g unsalted butter, very soft
- 3oz/75g caster sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten

- Pastry bases: Place the puff pastry discs onto a floured baking tray and prick with a fork. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and slightly rising.
- While still warm, and to keep the disc quite flat, place another baking sheet on top and push down slightly to expel the air from the pastry.
- Caramel sauce: In a heavy-based pan, heat the sugar and water gently until it forms a rich golden coloured syrup.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly, then heat the cream and carefully add to the syrup. Return to the heat for a few seconds, strain through a fine sieve if necessary.
- To complete: Arrange the cooled pastry discs on a baking sheet and spread a layer of the frangipane on each one, leaving a narrow margin around the edge. Peel, core and thinly slice the apples and arrange neatly on top of the tarts. Brush with melted butter and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Finally, dust the tart with icing sugar and place under the grill until the sugar starts to caramelise.
- To serve: Place the tartlets on warmed dessert plates and drizzle the caramel sauce around them. Garnish with a little creme fraiche and a sprig of mint, and finally dust with icing sugar.

If you like your hip hop without the commercial trappings of bling-bling sensibilities then there seems to be little you can do apart from dig deep.
You can retreat back into your record collection and revel in the raw early '90s beats of Gangstarr, Pete Rock et al. Or you can search for the real underground, backpack-wearing hip hop thriving in small venues and labels. Or you can embrace variations on the theme.
This is where Pole is found. Whereas previous oferings have concentrated on obscure loops and noises, Pole (aka Stefan Betke)has emersed himself in electronic beats to great effect, turning to hip hop and jazz to produce a beautiful electro-soul collection of music.
From his collaboration with rapper Fat Jon on the haunting 'Slow Motion' - "Everything we do in this world and this life has a timecode attached to it" - to the clipped saxophone accompaniement on 'Bushes', Pole has produced an electronic and eclectic album.
Much of the drum loops are not even easily identifiable as strictly hip hop, but evoke a slightly less 'natural' Boards of Canada feel. He even reverts back to dub stylings as the album goes on.
Ultimately, and refreshingly, this is not commercial, but hauntingly lush electronic music for all to enjoy.

Within 72 hours of an emergency or natural disaster, this new platform can be used to provide broadband coverage and communications services to first responders.
Communication among first responders post-disaster is essential, but when a city or town is hit by an earthquake or hurricane, for example, it's likely that broadband coverage will also take a hit.
In the same vein as Google's Project Loon, which aims to solve the digital divide using balloon-powered Internet access, mobile 4G LTE provider Oceus Networks has demonstrated that such a technology can be used to provide broadband coverage and communications services to first responders within 72 hours of an emergency or natural disaster.
Recently near Boulder, Colo., the company launched an airborne 4G LTE cellular network into the air that allowed engineers to "collect data and characterize the performance of a high-altitude 4G LTE public safety system," according to a press release.
And the trial was considered a success -- it traveled nearly 200 miles, reached an altitude of 75,000 feet, transmitted an LTE network signal that provided a 100 km radius of coverage, and it supports the FCC Deployable Aerial Communications Architecture initiative, which is exploring the role of High Altitude Platforms in the national public safety network.
To facilitate the test, the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet), the FCC and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration allowed temporary authorization for Oceus Networks and project partner Space Data to use the public safety broadband spectrum in the 700 MHz band (Band 14) -- the same frequencies that will be used in the forthcoming nationwide public safety broadband network.
On the ground, the team used Band 14 devices – data modems (the VML 700) and smartphones (the LEX 700) – provided by Motorola Solutions, to connect to the mobile airborne LTE network.
Oceus Networks is compiling the test results, and will formally file a report with the FCC in its Deployable Aerial Communications Architecture docket.

It wasn't lonely this Christmas in my household three days ago. In many ways everything was with us, the whole caboodle of elements from earth to wind to water to fire.
It began with a stocking and the wind, blowing across the South Downs like a cold typhoon, shattering the silence and causing our nine-year-old son to jump into our bed, terrified that his insomnia had wrecked his chances of a chimney-Christmas.
Fears allayed, he slept, then awoke to ravage the contents of expensive gifts made cheaply in China. Then, a task was set. Go downstairs and put the (electric) kettle on, son. You can charge up your iPod, you can turn on our Christmas tree lights… you can boil a kettle.
Job done, he returned. Thirty minutes later, my wife goes downstairs… then screaming and panic. "OUT, OUT, OUT, everybody OUT! This place is going to blow!".
I came down to the kitchen on fire, grabbed the dog's blanket, finally put out the fire as the electric kettle fizzled under the tap and its melted plastic congealed on the cooker. Yes, my son had filled the kettle, turned on the hob and placed the electric kettle on the hob. A. Chip. Off. The. Old. Block. Innit.
My wife's somewhat strange reaction ("the place is going to blow" etc), I put down to too many viewings of Homeland, but our narrow escape was forgotten as we went for the Christmas walk, promising to replace the batteries in the smoke alarm that were taken out during one of those 'cooking' experiences.
So, the Christmas Walk. Along swollen Sussex rivers and overburdened weirs, no Christmas Day swim this year. Ahead, the black Labrador frolicked, rushing through the bogs, happy as a dog in marsh, as Larry, as a pig in shit.
The ground, the earth in our element-watch, was sodden and dangerous. My son walked ahead, I told him to take care (you know what happened with the kettle), so I took over, striding as a patriarch but looking like John Cleese in his Ministry of Silly Walks.
Next moment, no earth, only water up to my neck and my beloved Cordings covert coat (bought after watching Lock, Stock) drenched in running water. Back on relatively dry land, my hand rushed to my mobile, it was wet but OK, the wallet still there, the rest cold-wet.
Laughter from my wife and son, a nagging fear from quicksand memories in Egypt that brought rictus and filled Wellington boots and a cold walk home through the rain.
Rounded elements. Wind, then fire, then earth and water. A hot bath, some pages from The Alexandria Quartet by Laurence Durrell, then a slow Christams lunch at a pub where the car was left and the stomach strained.
Then home to the TV and the 'proper' presents. The lighting of the hearth, the glow of lazy TV and piles of discarded polystyrene and knotted ribbons.
Outside it was cold, inside there was a kitchen without a kettle, but somewhere a memory cached for the future that this was a most excellent Christmas Day.

| 18.2°C Belfast
A woman wept today as she appeared in court charged with the murder of her three young disabled children - watched by her devastated husband.
Tania Clarence, 42, looked over at her husband and broke down in tears as she stood in the dock accused of killing her three-year-old twin sons, Ben and Max, and four year-old daughter, Olivia, at their home.
Her investment banker husband, Gary, 43, also broke down in tears as he locked eyes with his wife from his seat in the public gallery during the brief hearing.
Wearing a black suit and white shirt, Mr Clarence walked into Wimbledon Magistrates' Court supported by a group of people believed to be family and friends.
He hugged two women in the public gallery before sitting down to watch the proceedings.
Wearing a grey top with a white long-sleeved top underneath, his wife looked fragile as she stood in the glass-fronted dock at the court in south west London, accused of the triple murder.
Her voice shaking with emotion, she spoke only to confirm her name, age and address.
She is accused of three counts of murdering a child aged over one year old between April 20 and April 23 this year.
All three young children were said to have suffered from spinal muscular atrophy.
Also known as floppy baby syndrome, the genetic condition leaves children with little control of their movements and can drastically shorten life expectancy.
Police were called to the family's five-bedroom home in Thetford Road in the wealthy south west London suburb of New Malden at 9.30pm on Tuesday night where they discovered the bodies.
Mrs Clarence, who also has a healthy eight-year-old daughter, was arrested shortly afterwards.
Mr Clarence, who works at the City bank Investec, is said to have been away in the family's native South Africa with their eldest daughter at the time of the deaths.
No formal plea was entered and Mrs Clarence was remanded in custody.
Chairwoman of the bench Fiona Abbott said: "For these three charges you will be sent to the Central Criminal Court at the Old Bailey for a preliminary hearing on 9 May.
"There will be a bail application at the Central Criminal Court at 10am on 29 April."
Two uniformed police officers stood guard outside the courtroom and the public gallery was packed with press during today's short hearing.
Mrs Clarence is originally from South Africa and moved to Britain with her husband some years ago.
Mr Clarence was escorted out of the court by police officers and driven away in a black taxi.
He did not say anything as he walked down the court steps and through a scrum of photographers.
A female police officer stopped traffic to allow Mr Clarence to be driven off quickly.

I can't believe it's August already!!
So glad to see everyone starting new rounds. I'll be starting on Monday, so loading this weekend. I'm only getting a couple things at the store to use during loading and the rest will be take-out. Plenty of eggs, ice cream, etc. I'm hoping to go long enough to lose 20 lbs. but I'd be content with 15. Last round I went just past 21 days I think so that's usually what I stick with. I really want this to be my last round but life happens

"Gilana Sutta: Ill"
"Don't let there be any real sense in the mind that you're in the hospital or at home. Let the mind be in the emptiness, empty of all labels and meanings. You don't have to label yourself as being anywhere at all.
This is because the aggregates (khandha) are not where you are. They're empty of any indwelling person. They're empty of any "me" or "mine." When the mind is like this, it doesn't need anything at all. It doesn't have to be here or go there or anywhere at all. This is the absolute end of suffering and stress...
When the mind is empty in line with its nature, there's no sense of ownership in it; there are no labels for itself. No matter what thoughts occur to it, it sees them as insubstantial, as empty of self. There's simply a sensation that then passes away. A sensation that then passes away, and that's all"
from A Good Dose of Dhamma - For Meditators When They Are Ill

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award, or DofE, is the world's leading youth achievement award, giving young people between the ages of 14 and 24 the most incredible opportunity to take part in a wonderfully diverse range of exciting activities. These all count towards an Award which is highly prized by colleges, universities and employers!
If you choose to take part, you really will discover that there's more to life than sitting on the sofa watching T.V, texting your mates and browsing the Internet!
You achieve your Bronze and Silver Awards by taking part and completing a flexible, personalised programme of activities across four sections – Volunteering, Physical, Skills and Expedition. If you go for your Gold Award, there's an additional Residential section.
The JLGB has, since the DofE was started in 1956, been the exclusive Jewish Licenced Organisation. We have an exceptional track record of providing training and assessments that meet the religious and cultural needs of over 800 Jewish young people each year.
The Award is getting more and more popular and due in part to our awareness campaigns, more young people from ultra-orthodox Jewish communities are participating, particularly those who require single-gender, Kashrut and Shomer Shabbat provision.
The JLGB is committed to making sure anyone who wants to take part can do so and, in addition to religious sensitivities, we also offer tremendous support to those young people with physical or learning disabilities who want to be a part of all that the DofE has to offer.
Please call our DofE Team on 0208 530 8220 or email email@example.com if you have any qualms, queries or questions!

Want to make an editor's blood run cold? Try writing an autobiographical essay that is sure to be exposed as fiction after said editor proclaims it the artful real-life story he has been waiting his entire career to publish. Or, if that's too much work, post one of his rejections on your blog—preferably a curt form rejection, with a glaring typo or further proof that he is a thoughtless, no-talent hack posing as the gatekeeper of commercial tastes. If you're among the minority of human beings who don't have blogs, post it on Literary Rejections on Display, started last year by an anonymous author going by Writer, Rejected. Or slap it up on Rejection Collection, a Web site presided over by "president and chief rejecutive officer" Catherine Wald, whose freelance career has been "unmistakably marked by rejection," as she admits on the site (nevertheless, she has placed an article or two in this magazine). Of course, sometimes an editor will beat an author to the punch and make public some potentially embarrassing correspondence herself. Rebecca Wolff, the editor of Fence, whose blood is always nice and bubbly, did just that earlier this year when she posted her response to a Fence contributor who had inquired about the free copies that he felt were owed to him. The e-mail messages, posted on Fence's blog under the heading "Devolution of a Literary Correspondence," sparked exactly the kind of spirited online discussion one would expect in response to an editorial missive that contains the valuable advice, "Eat shit and die." Speaking of spirited discussion, Ted Genoways's Virginia Quarterly Review elicited some strong reactions from readers after internal correspondence regarding choice cuts from the slush pile was posted on the journal's blog under the heading, "I can't enumerate all the ways in which this is horrible." Genoways later removed the offending material and apologized. "In short, the tone of our blog post did not correctly represent our commitment to our authors," he wrote. "However, I do think that the comments, if not their public airing, are a fair response to many of the submissions we receive and accurately reflect the righteous indignation that we often feel as readers." On his own blog, Howard Junker, the outspoken editor of ZYZZYVA, wondered, "Since when are Genoways and his minions entitled to righteous indignation while winnowing the infinite chaff from the most rare of wheat?" Is this wheat so rare that editors and writers alike must devote editorial space to the chaff? Rather than dwelling on the lousy submission or the lame rejection—or even the crummy criticism of the lame rejection of the lousy submission—how about devoting one's time to writing and publishing work that is...you know, good? Isn't it the editor's job to read the bad writing so that his readers don't have to? And isn't it part of the writer's job to learn from—rather than reject—rejection? It's a pretty simple lesson, really: Either your writing needs more work or the offending journal doesn't.
It's difficult to decide which aspect of Atlas, the literary magazine of international art and writing edited by Indian author Sudeep Sen, is most impressive. It could be the masthead (with contributing editors such as poets Kwame Dawes, Donald Hall, and Naomi Shihab Nye, and international editors hailing from more than two dozen countries); the number of editorial offices (one in New Delhi, one in London, and one in Cambridge, Massachusetts); or maybe the magazine's sheer girth (four hundred pages). But however jaw-dropping those may be, readers will likely be most impressed by the table of contents: The second issue includes work by Salman Rushdie, Seamus Heaney, Vikram Seth, and more than fifty others. The Web site, oddly enough, looks like it was designed in the early nineties, but as a new member of the Council of Literary Magazines and Presses (www.clmp.org), Atlas will surely raise its online presence to the level of its print edition soon enough.
Kevin Larimer is the deputy editor of Poets & Writers Magazine.

College Tours: Where to Eat Near Yale University
People like to give Yalies grief about New Haven. They point to the crime and the poverty and those are, without a doubt, serious problems which affect the community. But when they act like New Haven has nothing more to its name than a couple good pizza joints, well, I feel the need to step in.
See, early in my time there, I noticed that I was eating really well, and it wasn't just at the burger counter at the Doodle (may she rest in peace). In the past ten years, College and Chapel streets have proliferated with new restaurants. Now there's seemingly everything—upscale dining that rivals New York in the quality of tapas, Malaysian, and vegetarian food. I mean, the Burrito Cart on Park Street serves up the best burritos I've ever had. (And makes me want to buy a pair of chili pepper pants.)
In fact, by the time I graduated, it was hard to get a table at Bar or Pacifico or to find an empty leather chair at the Owl Shop because people from other towns in Connecticut were flocking to New Haven to eat. When I come back to visit, I find myself on a forced food march, trying to eat as many things as possible before I leave. It's not always possible to get to everything, but if I had an endless stomach or the money to go back for my Ph.D., these are the things I'd eat.
Best Pizza
First things first. While Sally's and Pepe's have made New Haven famous, they're not actually on or in close proximity to the Yale Campus. (Close proximity in college means that you can roll out of bed in your sweatpants and get there in 10 minutes or less). I went to Sally's once during freshman orientation and heard of no one going there since.
The place to get awesome pizza that Yalies do frequent is Bar. They make their pies in a brick oven, turning out thin crusts that have just the right amount of salt, chew, and char. The thing to order if you've never been, or if you need to pad a stomach that's been indulging in their delicious signature brews, is the mashed potato pizza. I usually hate starch-on-starch, but the creamy potatoes sit on a bed of thyme, oregano, crushed garlic, and Parmesan, and the end result, especially when paired with bacon, has a shocking amount of salty, creamy, porky flavor. If you want something a little lighter, their plain margarita (which you'll have to order as a red pie with mozzarella and basil) is always a win.
Best Coffee Shop
With its study-friendly vibe and ample seating, Blue State Coffee is the working student's coffee shop. But the coffee is more than decent and the location on Wall Street has a nice view of Silliman College. Atticus Bookstore/Cafe is a nice place to sit down and have a cup after visiting the Yale University Art Gallery across the street. If you happen to stroll by at around midnight, keep your eyes peeled for one of the weirder sites in New Haven: students and/or bums rifling through giant bags of the day's leftover bread.
Best Burger
Full disclosure, I'm not a big burger eater. But all my friends are, and they say that Louis' Lunch is the way to go. I have to believe that half the fun of eating there is the satisfaction of well, eating there.
Louis' Lunch holds notoriously fickle hours, apparently opening and closing whenever it suits the owner's whim. If you actually get inside, you'll see the burgers coming off old-school vertical grill racks and placed between two pieces of white toast. No, you can't have condiments, and the only cheese available is Velveeta. It's a unique, some say rigid, system, but it seems to work. For those who want a more modern burger, hold off a few months. The first New Haven outpost of Shake Shack is under construction.
Best Late-Night
The thing about late-night food is that after a certain point, you don't care what you're eating. The 2 a.m. line at Yorkside isn't because they have the best pizza, it's because for the people left alone outside Toads, it's the closest possible form of sustenance. Those with a little more willpower might walk to A-1 or G-Heav, and that's fine if you want a super greasy slice, a late-night sandwich, or to play the game where you pretend that the plastic container of salad from the hot food table which you liberally topped with tater tots is more healthy than the first two options.
Personally, I like to hit up Ivy Noodle. The fried pork dumplings are a greasy yet tasty staple, but the Curry Tofu Noodle Soup is God's gift to the drunk, the hungover, and the hungry. Face plant into a giant bowl of steaming pink-orange broth and slurp up the noodles, stopping only to chew on pieces of fried tofu or to squeeze another round of Sriracha over the top, and you'll be feeling better in no time.
Runner up: The Wenzel from Alpha Delta Pizza. Named after a former Yale football player, it's a gloriously messy pile of fried buffalo chicken, hot sauce, mozzarella cheese, lettuce, and tomato between a sub roll. It's everything that you want for late-night: it's spicy, fried, and dripping with hot sauce and gooey melted cheese.
Best Grilled Cheese
It probably surprised no one that the Caseus Grilled Cheese truck was a hit in New Haven. Overworked students like nothing better than hot, gooey sustenance to get them through the day. But these are legit sandwiches, with flavors like Crimini Mushroom and Alter Schweizer Cheese playing to more advanced palates.
Best Sushi
At first I was skeptical about finding goat cheese or potato skins in my sushi, and the first time you order at Miya's definitely requires a little faith. But I promise that the results are always interesting and most always delicious. It's a great date place for that reason—forget small talk about the latest lecture in Cold War or how Jonathan Spence reminds you of Sean Connery. Instead, talk about how you never knew that orange marmalade could taste good in nigiri, then order a carafe of "Chinese Firecracker", an aged sake they infuse with locally grown hot chili peppers. (Insiders tip: it makes an awesome in a sake-bomb).
Best Place to Take Your Parents
This one kind of depends on your parents. If they're the type who would enjoy elegant if unadventurous French food in a historic building that holds some good old Ivy League charm, head to Union League Cafe. (If they're really all about the old-school charm and care none about the food, head to Mory's).
If you're looking to show them how international Yale is and how much you're culturally maturing, go to Ibiza, where delicious, authentic Spanish food gets plated with a suitably fancy, refined presentation. If your parents have given up the ghost of your childhood and want to share a cocktail, definitely book a table at Pacifico. The "Nuevo-Latino Seafood cuisine" means super flavorful tapas and pan-Latin mains like grilled skirt steak with chino-latino stir-fried rice with sweet plantains and lobster. Plus, the drinks are killer.
Best Birthday Cake
For all intents and purposes, there is only one birthday cake option in New Haven, and that's the Lithuanian Coffee Cake from Claire's Corner Copia. It's a dense, moist, mildly spiced cake. Try to eat your slice such that every bite involves some of the inner vein of raisins and walnuts coated in brown sugar and coffee grounds. When that's run out, attack the thick, super sweet frosting. If you don't want to go whole hog and buy a cake (though they'll personalize the cakes with a birthday message and what kind of roommate are you), you can get a cupcake version which is just as good.
Best Cheap Eat
Rain, sun, blizzard, more rain: the burrito cart will be there, waiting on the corner of Park and Elm to give you the best hot, made-to-order burrito you've ever eaten in your life. The cart started as an offshoot of the restaurant Roomba, though the cart lost none of its class when the restaurant closed and it reinvented itself as the Tijuana Taco Cart. (Insider tip: no one will know what you're asking for unless you ask for "the burrito cart.") I love the vegetarian burrito ($5), because the grilled portobella mushrooms and onions achieve a smoky flavor perfection that I didn't know vegetables could reach. The carne asada is also killer; super moist and meaty. Make sure to get all the toppings, including avocado, cabbage, and salsas.
Best Bar
Unfortunately for dive bars, the obvious choice, Richter's, is no longer open. If you're on the TD side of campus, Anna Liffey's a pretty good Irish pub and, in my day, Toad's Place took the word "dive" to a whole new level. If you like a stiff drink, a cigar, or to pretend you're living in the 1920s, head to the Owl Shop. They make a mean Manhattan.
What about you, students and alums? Where do you eat around New Haven?

Olukai Nohea Mesh Dark Shadow/Dark Shadow Men's Shoe
Features include:
very comfortable for someone with a narrow heel and wide fore foot.
I received these shoes on Thursday before going to the Gulf Coast, wore them for 5 days straight. These shoes are frankly some of the most comfortable I have ever put on. They breath very well and wear great sockless. Definitely follow the advise and order down a 1/2 size from your normal size as recommended on others reviews. Seeing as its only been less than a week I cannot say much more, but when I headed back to work this morning I sure wanted to wear these shoes over my normal wear to work fare.
Great shoe, husband hasn't taken them off. A nice looking shoe with the convenience of a slip on plus they're very breathable. He's happy in them. Only bummer is they run a little big so order a half size down if you're planning to wear without socks
Actually saw these in Hawaii on a recent trip. The store in Hawaii did not carry half sizes so we found these on line at Footwear. Although the reviews said to take a 1/2 size smaller, I needed my regular size in these. They're comfortable and are a good addition to my summer shoe collection. Recommend!
I needed a pair of lightweight slip on shoes and took a chance on these. I have two pairs of Olukai sandals and I wear them whenever possible. I was happy to find the shoes equally as comfortable. These are easy to slip on and are very light to wear. My favorite feature of the Olukais is their cushioning. I normally wear a 12 and had to go down to 11 in these. They do run big.

Mr. Speaker, since the Liberals failed to appoint several officers of Parliament, we know that some appointments are imminent. However, the process is neither open nor transparent. The appointment of parliamentary officers who work for all hon. members of the House should follow meaningful consultations. However, the process continues to be cloaked in secrecy.
We remember the time when the Liberals promised to be open and transparent, the time when they promised to do better.
When will they show true transparency and when will they establish an open appointment process?
