Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Sidman (Song of the Waterboatman and Other Pond Poems) explains, via an introduction from one of the book's sixth-grade characters, that the poems contained in this often humorous and touching anthology were inspired by the title poem of apology, which was penned by William Carlos Williams. The student in Mrs. Merz's class who introduces the book explains that some of the students received answers to their "sorry" poems. One pair of poems shares a spread and addresses a dodge ball exchange ("Sorry/ Reubs,/ for belting you/ as hard/ as I could/ in dodge ball/ I'd like/ to say/ I wouldn't/ do it again/ but I'd/ be lying"). But for most entries, unfortunately, in order to read the call-and-response in succession, readers must awkwardly flip from the first half of the book ("Apologies") to the second ("Responses"). Yet the poems successfully navigate the complicated terrain for those who seek forgiveness. In one especially moving poem, "The Black Spot," Alyssa tells her sister Carrie that the black spot of lead on Carrie's arm makes manifest the "nugget of darkness" within Alyssa that propelled her to injure her sibling (Carrie's response conveys her enduring anger at Alyssa). Zagarenski's (Mites to Mastodons) inventive mixed-media illustrations brim with items found in a classroom: a dictionary entry on "apology," for instance, becomes part of a student's clothing, and white hole reinforcements resemble a character's stolen doughnuts. But the book's odd organization seems a missed opportunity to tie the well-wrought, corresponding poems together and reinforce the complex relationships between the characters. Ages 9-12. (Apr.)

From School Library Journal
Starred Review. Grade 4-7-Mrs. Merz assigns her sixth-grade students to write poems of apology, and what emerges is a surprising array of emotions, poetic forms, and subjects from dead pets and biting hamsters to angry siblings and betrayal of trust. The children decide to create their own book of these poems, complete with an introduction and occasional notes by editor Anthony K. Fast-talking Thomas writes a humorous poem patterned after William Carlos Williams's This Is Just to Say, apologizing to Mrs. Garcia in the office, for stealing the jelly donuts in the teachers' lounge: Forgive me/they were delicious/so sweet/and so gloppy. Mrs. Garcia's response poem says, Of course I forgive you./But I still have to call your mother. A more serious concern emerges in Next Time, written by Jewel: Please, please come back./Don't leave me spinning alone,/like a slow, sad tornado./I'm sorry, Daddy./Next time I'll be/perfect. In the response poem, Jewel describes her father's wrenching reply telling her that, None of the stupid things/I have ever done/are even close to being your fault. Sidman's ear is keen, capturing many voices. Her skill as a poet accessible to young people is unmatched. Zagarenski's delicately outlined collage drawings and paintings are created on mixed backgrounds–notebook paper, paper bags, newspaper, graph paper, school supplies. This is an important book both for its creativity and for its wisdom.–Lee Bock, Glenbrook Elementary School, Pulaski, WI

I recommend this book for upper elementary grades and older lovers of poetry. I also recommend Sidman's book "Red Sings from Treetops: A Year in Colors."
"I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold."
Beautiful, no? Well, a school class, after studying this poem, decided to write their own versions, apologizing to someone and righting a wrong. Well, to their surprise, they got replies! Well-crafted, hilarious, beautiful replies! This poems and their replies are endearingly witty. Two examples- in one, a boy apologizes to the school secretary for sneaking a doughnut, and the secretary replies that his charm is endless, but she still has to call his parents. In another, a girl apologizes for hurting her little sister, and the sister replies, "Roses are red/ violets are blue/ I am still/ pissed off at you." A great read, and I would imagine a fun way to get kids interested in poetry.
The book is unique because each writer's voice is unique. Some are long and flowery while others are succinct and to the point. The variety pulls the reader into the different emotions. The pictures are just as quirky as the poems and the kids who wrote them. There isn't a note from the illustrator, but it would be interesting to know if the kids who wrote the poem had any say in the picture for their poem.
It's hard to pick a poem that should be shared with a class because I think the book as a whole is so important. It demonstrates that kids CAN write poetry. The custodian, the school secretary, students' parents, and even students' siblings contribute to the book. Poetry is for everyone, and this book is a visual motivation for reluctant poetry writers. I will share two of my favorites that I think embody the idea of the book's title: apology and forgiveness.
"How Slow-Hand Lizard Died"
I stole him.
Took him home in my pocket.
Felt the pulse beating
in his soft green neck.
Had no place good to put him.
A shoebox.
He got cold, I think.
Watched his life wink out,
his bright eye turn to mud.
Brought him back,
stiff as an old glove.
Hid him in the bottom of the cage.
Left the money on Mrs. Merz's desk.
(Stole that, too).
Won't touch the new lizard.
Don't' like to touch
By Anonymous
The response: "Ode to Slow-Hand"
The way his heart beat in his throat
The way his toes whispered on our hands
Los perdonamos
His skin: rough green cloth
The color of new leaves
Los perdonamos
His belly: soft as an old balloon
His tongue: lightning's flicker
Los perdonamos
The sad way he left us
The sad way you feel
Los perdonamos
We forgive you
By Mrs. Merz's class
The pairing of the poems gives a class a tool for discussion. The poems go together, but the tone and the flow are different. Each set of poems is a wonderful tool for teaching style and for drawing out a writer's voice.
I reviewed this book for my poetry class at Texas Woman's University. [...]

There are not a lot of foreclosures in El Segundo, but you could view and make offers on those through a good local agent that services El Segundo.
There are several different approaches to buying a distressed property. The most obvious one being houses currently on the market(listed with a broker), and owned by the bank(REO).
The second option would be to approach an owner that is facing foreclosure with an offer to purchase their property. This is often a very good way to purchase a distressed property. I can explain this more if you would like to call or email me. It can be complicated if the house is worth less than what the seller owe, but not impossible. You just have to be patient when exploring this method. People are often in denial and are not immediately receptive because they are probably going through some very tough times personally.
The third option would be to go to a property auction at the court house and bid on defaults. This can be exciting and extremely overwhelming for even seasoned investors. Properties move quickly, you can often get great deals, but you have to be ready with a lot of cash on hand.
Let me know if I can help you,

Roger Clemens has already cemented himself as one of baseball's all-time greats. His next victory will add yet another accomplishment to his already impressive resume.
Clemens looks to record his 350th career win on Thursday afternoon as the Yankees try to avoid a three-game sweep at the hands of the surging Colorado Rockies.
Clemens (1-1, 3.65 ERA) has pitched well in each of his first two starts, allowing five runs and 12 hits in 12 1-3 innings while walking three and striking out 15.
The 44-year-old allowed two runs, seven hits and one walk in 6 1-3 innings Friday in a 2-0 loss to the New York Mets. With eight strikeouts, he retook second place on the career list with 4,619, five more than Arizona's Randy Johnson.
The seven-time Cy Young Award winner is one win shy of becoming the first major leaguer to reach 350 since Warren Spahn pitched a shutout Sept. 29, 1963, with the Milwaukee Braves.
"Everything's a blessing for me since I tipped my cap three or four years ago, whenever it was, and I was real comfortable with (possible retirement)," Clemens said. "Since then, I'm glad I left that percentage point open and I've been very blessed. A lot of neat things have come my way since."
Clemens hopes to get more offensive support than teammates Mike Mussina and Andy Pettitte have received in the first two games of this series.
The Yankees' bats were held in check for the second straight game Wednesday in a 6-1 loss.
"We haven't scored. We haven't hit," New York's Derek Jeter said. "We aren't swinging the bats. It's tough to pitch when you don't have any runs. We haven't been able to string some hits together. It's weird because we were swinging the bats pretty good before we got here."
New York (35-34) has hit .185 (12-for-65) with two runs scored in this series after it had 19 runs and 26 hits in the previous two contests.
"That's the mysteries of baseball," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "Things that you can't really explain happen. As quickly as we fell into this thing, we can fall out of it."
The loss dropped the Yankees 10 games behind AL East-leading Boston.
This will be Clemens' fourth career start at Coors Field, where he is 1-0 with a 3.78 ERA. The only other time he faced the Rockies in pinstripes was on June 20, 2002, when he recorded a no-decision in a 14-11 loss, a game in which he allowed two runs and five hits over four innings.
Jeff Francis pitched seven solid innings, and Matt Holliday homered and drove in three runs Wednesday, as Colorado won for the sixth time in seven games.
"You can't say enough about the pitching," Holliday said. "Our pitching has kept us in games and our bullpen has been unbelievable. When you're getting that kind of pitching, you'll win a lot of games."
The Rockies (36-33) won a club record sixth straight series and improved to 8-0-1 in their last nine, the best stretch in franchise history. They're a major league-best 19-7 since May 22.
Colorado is three games over .500 for the first time since July 7, when it was 44-41.
Rodrigo Lopez (3-0, 2.90) is no stranger to the Yankees, having made 19 starts against them during the previous five seasons with Baltimore. The right-hander is 7-8 with a 6.02 ERA in 23 lifetime appearances versus New York.
"It's a challenge," Lopez said of facing the Yankees. "They can do damage early or late. They're always tough to get out."
Lopez has been very consistent for Colorado, allowing three earned runs or less in each of his seven starts. He limited Tampa Bay to two runs and eight hits over six innings Friday in a 12-2 victory at Coors Field.
Jeter should be happy to see Lopez. He is hitting .446 (25-for-56) with four home runs against the right-hander, and has a hit in 22 straight interleague games.

Palante is a successful non-organization that fights against landlord abuse and tenant exploitation with the help from volunteers from local and long distance areas. Palante Harlem provided volunteer opportunities for college students on their Spring Break from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. I would highly recommend Palante to anyone that is searching to volunteer with a group or individually.

I am enormously grateful to Palante Harlem. As a result of their dedication and expertise our tenants' association was able to make contact with especially helpful referrals which ultimately resulted in our landlord's application for an unjustified Modification of Services (MOS) getting denied. The MOS would have have resulted in a significant reduction in services and an increase in costs for all rent-stabilized tenants in our building. The city is a safer place because of what Palante Harlem does every day to help protect tenants from landlord abuse.

I have been helping at P.A.L.A.N.T.E. Harlem for the last 5 weeks. Elsie and her team are doing a outstanding job in helping Tenants to fight against Landlord injustice (Slum Lords). Their dedication is remarkable! I have witnessed situations which I would have believed exited if not having seen them myself:
1. Senior Citizens being taking out of there Rent Stabilized apartments and being put in smaller apartments with their belongings put in black garbage bags.
2. Senior Citizen laving with no water, no bathroom, and Kitchen for 3 weeks. Being forced to stay in a small bedroom while the Landlord did improvements to the apartment, with the intention of making this person move into another smaller apartment . This elderly women is 91 years old !!
3. I have seen building with major violations;
A. Rusted Staircases painted over.
B. Major water leaks in apartments and in the hallways.
C. Building Roofs ready to sink in , due to no up keep.
D. Bullying Seniors and others into leaving there apartments .
P.A.L.A.N.T.E. stands up to these Landlords and is fighting a tuff battle for Tenants Rights and quality life .

Saying Pa'Lante Harlem empower the powerless in an understatement. Pa'Lante Harlem culture and philosophy helps tenants feel they are part of a family. Tenants rights are been violated without any regards to the tenants humane living condition or the existing law. I would encourage people to donate to an organization that is helping tenant obtain their dignity and rights. LOVE THE PA'LANTE HARLEM FAMILY. MY GOD BLESS THE TEAM.

Pa'Lante is an organization that deserves much credit. I am given them the maximum stars because I have personally used their services. As I write this comment I am dealing with one of the biggest/worse slumlords in NYC and Pa'Lante has helped, me and my neighbors get organized. We have tenant association thanks to their support and we are ready to work for humane living conditions. Elsia and the team at Pa'Lante are angels. They are truly the epitome of what a non-profit should be. They help the most vulnerable in a City where landlord do as they please.

A small organization with a humongous heart❤
As a volunteer at PA'LANTE I have been able to see the incredible amount of work the small staff does for the community with very little financial resources. They work long hours with passion, determination, and honesty.

I cannot begin to express how much help PA'LANTE Harlem has been to myself, the people of the community, everyone they deal with. They go above and beyond to help protect tenants rights! They helped organize my tenant association and have gotten me involved with helping out other people in my same situation.

Palante Harlem deserves all the recognition that it needs. It is a non-profit organization that helps tenants to get their rights for the apartment when the landlord or the super doesn't help them. Volunteering for Palente has been a fun experience that I truly cherish and I'm lucky to have help those in need. -Uncp student

P.A.'L.A.N.T.E. Harlem is a non-profit organization that helps tenants to get their rights for their apartments that landlords or supervisors won't fix. I come from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, and I came to volunteer with this organization for a life changing experience. I highly recommend Palante for those who are looking for an unforgettable and humble service, their movement is a great message to all tenants who wants to live in a better building and a stable life.

TODAY decided it was high time to settle the issue, and did so by staging the first-ever Anchor Olympics. With the competition in the books, we left it to the viewers to select the winner. And you have spoken: The "Newsies" will bring home the Anchor Olympics gold(en microphone).
The "Newsies" (Matt Lauer, Natalie Morales, Al Roker, Lester Holt and Savannah Guthrie) competed against the "Sporties" (Scott Hamilton, Mary Carillo, Johnny Weir, Apolo Ohno and Tara Lipinski) in events that included everything from teleprompter reading to a color commentary challenge. (And yes, trash talk was included.)

It sat around for a few years collecting dust as a Hangar Queen and I really could not sell it so, I am making it air worthy to have fun with it!
I will try to power it using the Himax HC3528-1000 brushless motor and swinging the APC 10 X 9 propeller on three (3) Cells Li-Poly. This will yield approximately:
~400 Watts / 40-Amps / 84oz. of Static Thrust / 9,700 RPMs / a pitch speed of 83-MPH.
Dry Empty Weight tips the scale at 5lbs.-4 1/8oz.
We shall see.....
Oh, here is one of the first discussion threads on this model back in 2007!
Here she sits Airframe Only:
Firewall - Glow Engine Mount Issue!
Started with the project and found that someone secured the Glow Engine Mount a little too secure and perhaps used the permanent type of LocTite!
Using an Electric "Adjustable" Impact Driver, I was able to remove two of the bolts (Phillips head) on the Left side but, the two on the right side just didn't want to come out!
I carefully using a hand saw blade inside the FUSE and started to cut towards the blind nuts at the bolts that didn't want to come out and see about a neat way to slide the Blind Nuts and Bolts out but, it became messy! The FUSE is kind of tight and didn't want to destroy it with my large Gorilla Hands so, I took a screw driver and carefully pried the Glow Engine Mount that was lose toward the Left side and it finally came off the firewall with minor to moderate damage of the Firewall.
Found a large piece of 2/32nd plywood and worked a template and got some Gorilla Glue and now it is good as new and motor assembly is ready to be mounted. From measuring before taking off the cut-up cowling, I need at least 3/4th of an inch spacer to allow for the prop adapter to clear the cowling.
A few pictures of my ordeal.......
Himax Power System is a NO GO!
Never use the stock Glow Engine Mount holes! I am glad that I only tried one of them to make me observe that it was off-set!
Needless to say this used motor seems to have suffered a nose in accident as the output shaft is slightly bent and a complete wave off is in effect and I am now looking for an alternative.
Oh, well......back to the hobby drawer!
Hi there again,
Oh, I almost forgot.....seems like I really have the Himax HC3528-800 motor as the Watts, AMPs and Voltage from motor is in line with the characteristics of the 800Kv motor. Its too bad that the motor has a bend shaft as this lower Kv motor would have been interesting to increase the Prop Diameter slightly and/or use 4-Cell Li-Poly.
Oh well.......
Okay Guys,
I believe that I am back in business as I found myself this Emax 46 size motor on hand.
I plan to use it on 4s 3300-4000. It draws about 850w at 52a with an APC 12 x 6. Could be propped up a little if more power is needed but, ground clearance is the factor here as the F22 Raptor has a limit.
Here is the Specifications of the E-Max 46 Motor:
Progressing very Aggressively !
Second late night working on this F22 Raptor by Hangar9 and let me tell you that this is by far one of the most challenging models to convert as that dual heavy vertical stabs and overall weight of the rear with all that wood makes it really heavy to allow for a good reasonable power system and set of batteries to Off-Set all that weight in the AFT area.
Also, lets not forget the rather closed-in Frontal FUSE area to work with and the tiny tapered nose effect as you really can't use a metal cage hardware to mount any motor as it will interfere with the cowling. Resort is to use X-Mount with stand-off hardware and you have to be paying attention to every measurement before drilling.
Okay so, I have spent Tuesday late night and Thursday late night on working with this model and I am exhausted and will take a break unless of course I get a good night sleep tonight. The worse is the horror to find my newest motor (Emax 46) with a bent shaft as well, however, not that badly like the Himax HC3528-1000 so, with some patience and vice gripe pliers I was able to straighten out the out-put shaft of this motor! It really pays to have Gorilla Hands after all!
Yes, I have run up the motor several times to note where the high and low points were on the shaft and after the fix as well. Now the shaft is very tuned and no wobble what-so-ever! In-between runs of the motor and without the battery connected, sprayed some CRC 2-26 into the motor as this helps with the bearings and cleaned out that motor and now it runs much smoother and quieter.
Here are some close-up pictures that hopefully be self explanatory for all to see what I used and why. Of course feel free to ask questions should you have any.
Close-up shows where I will be placing a small square piece of plywood to allow the battery to clear the ESC wires going to the motor and have a compartment for the ESC wires to stay safe from any unnecessary handling while inserting and taking out the flight battery.

Hmmmm..... The very EMax motor and ESC from the Giles I sold you. And the motor shaft slightly bent. Pretty easy to see what happened here.
But you've never told us about the crash! Inquiring minds want to know!
It was not my fault, an Ugly Large bug got the best of me one morning at the RC Club and it flipped upside down and didn't have enough altitude and I pancaked it in.

These things DO happen. Good to see another one is already at your place. It's a pretty straightforward and easy build. I know you were really enjoying the Giles.
BTW: welcome to the assembly challenges of motor offsets, thrust angles and cowl spacing!

Also, no need to try to straighten an Emax motor shaft. It's time-consuming and almost impossible to get them exactly correct.

Thanks so much for that link!
You have really made me pick-up the pace with this project after watching the VIDEO you provided at your Thread!
I have now all servos out to install tonight, assuming there is no interruptions. Additionally, a brand new EMax 46 has arrived so, I will be installing it tonight as well.
Thanks again!
Receiver + Elevator + Rudder Servos installed
Life keeps coming at me....work, family, house, cars, and friends and finally tonight ....wee hours of the early morning got some work done on this fantastic discontinued Hangar9 RC Raptor!
The servos used for Elevator & Rudder are the JR Sport (ST47). These are slightly smaller than the Hitec HS-311 / HS325HB and even the Futaba S3003.
I tried the Futaba 3003, Hitec HS-311 / HS325HB and they just didn't want to go in the STOCK cut-out so, I am thankful that I had the JR Sport ST47's on hand. I suspect that since the JR's are distributed by Horizon Hobbies and Hangar9 is a based product line of HH then, the JR SPORT were meant to be in this model.

New York, NY, January 10, 2014 --(PR.com)-- IEEE GLOBECOM 2013, the premier international conference dedicated to the advance of the entire array of global communications, highlighted its 56th annual conference in Atlanta, Georgia with the presentation of more than 1,500 technical papers, keynotes, business panels and industry forums dedicated to the newest advancements in cloud computing, Big Data and 5G technologies.
Themed the Power of Global Communications, the five-day venue attended by thousands of global participants commenced on Monday, December 9 with a full day of workshops and tutorials outlining topics like "Optical Wireless Communications" and "Autonomous Underwater Sensor Networks," and then proceeded the following morning with a three-day technical learning schedule led by the keynote of Lew Tucker, vice president and chief technology officer of Cloud Computing at Cisco. During his address on "Cloud Computing and the Promise of Networking-as-a-Service," Tucker spoke of a Big Data explosion that will generate more than $14 billion in revenues over the next 10 years and a network traffic that will reach 77 zetabytes per year by 2017.
According to Tucker, "it's all about the applications at the end of the day" with "cloud computing winning as the easiest way to develop and employ applications" as well as create better "two-way communications between applications and infrastructure." Also described was the evolution of the cloud containing "everything-as-a-service," pay-as-you-go models and built-in resiliencies driven by open source cloud platforms and Open Stack Software Architecture, which are "massively scalable wherever possible" and "allow the developer to focus on the applications rather than the plumbing."
Afterwards, IEEE GLOBECOM 2013 initiated the first of more than 800+ technical paper presentations, senior-executive discussions and Industry Forums & Exhibitions dedicated to topics like "Smart Metering: Enabling Communications and Associated Security and Privacy Challenges," "Network Function Virtualization," "Current Challenges with Cyber Security in Software Defined Networks" and "Millimeter Wave Wireless Communications: The Ultrawideband Frontier."
For instance, the "What is TV White Space and How Can it Be Used?" forum was punctuated by the comments of researchers from Toshiba, iconectiv and OFCOM, who reflected on the mobile traffic requirements that have increased 13x from 2012 to 2013 and an ecosystem that will have to support approximately 50 billion M2M tools and connections as well as two billion cellular devices by 2020. Other predictions even estimated an 80x growth from 2012 to 2030. Subsequently, the solutions outlined in the forum included the pioneer of a new framework enabling spectrum sharing in the U.S., the introduction of new pilot and trial programs throughout the world and the initial global deploy of low power small cell networks for facilitating greater spectrum use.
In addition, the Industry Forum on "Smart Metering: Enabling Communications and Associated Security & Privacy Challenges" focused on the challenges on driving smart metering capabilities, which are expected to grow by 20 percent by 2017. Among the initiatives discussed were the dense deploy of low-cost mesh radio technologies operated by low-power drivers that overcome standard radio propagation issues and the availability of in-home displays on tablets that can help consumers save energy and money with real-time pricing services. Other problems addressed involved the privacy violations that could result from behavior profiling and the associated real-time surveillance techniques. "Privacy as a service" was one potential alternative for a market that will often trade privacy for better pricing.
Tuesday evening then progressed with the highly-anticipated Dialogue with Industry Executives featuring the perspectives and visions of senior communications professionals representing leading Atlanta-based communications organizations. Tino Mantella, the president of the Technology Association of Georgia and session's moderator, led the discussion as experts like Chris Walters, chief operating officer of The Weather Company, spoke about "the amazing way commercialized drones can help tell stories, collect content and keep live reporters out of harm's way," while Louis Gump, president and CEO of LSN Mobile, cited their vast potential for "capturing imagination, connecting people and covering communities better" with the far greater coverage of local events such as children's soccer games. As for the communications job market, all the panelists agreed that "the ability to bridge the gap between technology and business was the hardest talent to find" and "the people who are great at it are extremely rare" in today's technical world. This includes going beyond a tunnel-vision focus on goals with an "emotional awareness that pulls people together."
On Wednesday morning, Jessica Rosenworcel, Commissioner, Federal Communications Commission (FCC), started the day with her address on "Wireless Communications: A Regulatory Perspective" and the methods the government is currently using to encourage innovation and network topology breakthroughs. Rosenworcel began by lauding IEEE ComSoc as an "important force for furthering LTE and IoT initiatives and laying the foundation for the communications world of tomorrow." She then spoke in length about the need to change "the traditional approach to innovation that does not offer the benefit of testing thoughts in the real world" with a new model that offers "more space in sandboxes to play, dream and create." This includes reducing the regulations that burden testing, hinder the certification process for new technologies and slow their entry into the marketplace. Rosenworcel also explored the FCC and its plans for more efficiently using spectrum space and transitioning broadcasters to new channels in a U.S. market that is expected to increase mobile data traffic 13x over the next five years. "This," she said, "will be achieved with the benefit of engineers, who will help us shape the next generation of communications."
Other event highlights included the keynote of Branko Bjelajac, IEEE GLOBECOM 2013 General Chair and CTO for Landis+Gyr, who commented on "Information and Communication Technology – A Key Enabler of Smart Grid Innovation" and its role in transforming and modernizing the sustainability, production, distribution and consumption of electricity on a global scale. This began by asking "What is important to you?" The answer according to the conference's general chair was "family, health, society, food and science. It's ultimately about you as scientists, researchers, innovators, energy consumers and producers and ICT experts."
Bjelajac then proceeded to address the numerous challenges confronting a growing global population supported by an "unfavorable energy mix consisting of outdated technologies and increasing energy demands." As a solution, he pointed to the replacement of traditional grid models consisting of information and money "flowing in only one direction" with decentralized energy generation technologies composed of new sources of energy-efficient power that connect smart devices, buildings, cities and entire systems with people through public cellular and broadband networks. Among the challenges for this new world that "connects everything" is the rise of engineers that combine power and IT expertise, "products that do the job at the lowest possible cost," "robustness fueled by devices in the field that never switch off" and platforms displaying "intelligent decision making." Bjelajac concluded the discussion by challenging his audience to create new business ideas and models that solve tomorrow's real-world problems today and create an infrastructure that merges "the new with existing worlds" and makes new technologies accessible for all to build upon.
Following these comments, the conference began its final day of technical paper presentations, demonstrations and Industry Forums. During the morning session on "Internet Governance – why should the technical community care and where do they fit in," experts representing AT&T and global standards committees highlighted the processes needed to ensure a profitable, manageable and interoperable global Internet supported by the development and adoption of open, transparent and market-driven standards. This includes eliminating the fragmentation that stands in the way of making services available and affordable for all in a global regulatory environment that makes policy decisions on "how the system actually works and not fiction," while creating an equal footing between government and stakeholders.
The Industry Forum on "Big Cloud Networking" also detailed methods for processing data in pseudo real-time or batch modes with predictive analytics. According to the panel, "there is gold in data and the value is limited by the ability to extract information from any field" and "the trillions of individual sensors monitoring the status of everything of interest to humans." This is true in a mega-cloud environment that will see the accumulation of digital data grow 44x between 2009 and 2020 and is already creating 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day. As a result, extremely strong encryption techniques will be especially important in a cloud services marketplace that is expected to rise to $154 billion in 2014 and can be accessed "everywhere and does not necessarily recognize country boundaries."
Additional conference milestones held from Tuesday through Thursday included three days of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) research demonstrations showcasing the latest novel approaches for overcoming the inflexibility, high power consumption, complexity and obsolescence issues in today's network infrastructures. As an example, Barbara Lancaster and Bhavani Shanmugan of MetraTech Corp. showcased their latest research into "Multi-Partner Multi-Service Billing and Settlement of NFV-enabled Services" and the use of metadata for easily configuring any number of pricing plans and compensation agreements across products, services, geographies, and new and legacy accounts."
IEEE GLOBECOM 2013 concluded on Friday, December 13 with a second day of workshops and tutorials detailing topics such as "Security & Privacy in Big Data," "Emerging Technologies for LTE-Advanced and Beyond 4G," "Vehicular Network Evolution," "Quality of Experience for Multimedia Communications," "Energy Harvesting Wireless Communications," "Machine-to-Machine Technologies & Markets" and "Wireless Device-Device Communications and Networks."
