This memorandum is written in response to requests from the Chancellor's Office and from the local College community. It is a reminder that Jewish students will be observing September 23 and 24 (Rosh Hashana), and October 2 (Yom Kippur) as traditional religious holidays. No student should be penalized for absence from class during these three days.
The identical courtesy should be extended adherents of other faiths where our academic schedule conflicts with religious exercise.

Data Sheet
Cisco MGX-FRSM-HS2/B
Serial Frame Service Modules
The Cisco Frame Relay Service Module (FRSM) designed for use with the Cisco MGX 8230, the Cisco MGX 8250, and the Cisco MGX 8850 PXM-1 ATM multiservice edge concentrators, supports serial, channelized, or fractional unchannelized Frame Relay lines. The Cisco MGX-FRSM-HS2/B combines the features and functionality of the existing Cisco MGX-FRSM-HS2 and FRSM-HS1/B plus additional features.
The Cisco MGX-FRSM-HS2/B is enhanced to offer high-speed serial frame service interfaces for the next generation of data networking. The serial port FRSMs offer connectivity to High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI), V.35, and X.21 equipment, with the flexibility to operate as a physical data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communications equipment (DCE) interface.
V.35 and X21 Support
The Cisco MGX-FRSM-HS2/B supports eight ports of V.35 and X.21 frame services on a single, seven-inch function module. A new eight-port back card is required to take advantage of the increased connection and port densities of the Cisco MGX-FRSM-HS2/B.
The Cisco MGX-FRSM-HS2/B provides unchannelized Frame Relay service on a maximum of 4,000 connections, across 8 V.35 or X.21 interfaces. The maximum throughput for the card is 64 Mbps. The maximum rate on one line is 8 Mbps for each V.35 or X.21 interface.
HSSI Interface Support
The Cisco MGX-FRSM-HS2/B supports two ports of HSSI frame services on a single, seven-inch function module. Two HSSI interfaces for full-duplex communications at up to 52 Mbps using the existing back card are supported. Each HSSI line consists of a serial connector, along with three LED indicators for line status. Using the FRSM-HS2/B, up to 48 HSSI ports can be operated simultaneously on the Cisco MGX 8800 ATM multiservice switch platform.
Table 1 summarizes these interface types:

|Interface Type:
Up to 64 Mbps1
Up to 104 Mbps1
|1Dependent on frame size
Without the cost of a T3 or E3 card, the MGX-FRSM-HS2/B provides greater than T1 or E1 speeds on a port as well as a choice of 50 line rates in a range of 48 Kbps-52 Mbps.
Key Features
Cisco MGX FRSM cards support multiple High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC)-derivative frame service interfaces, which can be configured on a per-port basis. These service interfaces include the Frame Relay UNI, Frame Relay NNI, ATM FUNI, and frame forwardingHDLC-transparent, providing "channel extension" support for legacy HDLC-based protocols such as Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).
Traffic is mapped between these service interfaces and the ATM backplane using standards-compliant adaptation. Consistent with Cisco intelligent quality-of-service (QoS) management features, serial port FRSM cards support per-virtual circuit (VC) queuing on ingress and multiple class-of-service queues on egress. Together with closed loop congestion control, this provides flexible, per-VC control for connection-based service-level agreements (SLAs).
Serial Cisco MGX FRSM cards for HSSI interface can be Y-cabled to provide 1:1 hot-standby redundancy of the FRSM.
Frame Relay-to-ATM network interworking and Frame Relay-to-ATM service interworking are both supported on a permanent VC (PVC) basis.
Cisco MGX FRSM cards are supported by standards-based management tools, including Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) (for configuration and statistics collection), and a command-line interface. The Cisco WAN Manager and CiscoView tools also provide full graphical user interface support for connection and equipment management.
With these feature options, customers can independently use either frame- or cell-based interfaces at each site, with independent selection of encapsulation techniques, such as IETF RFC 1490 or 1483, to ensure that the sites communicate.

Boiling Springs, N.C. – On Tuesday night, the Brevard College men's basketball team opened up their 2008-09 season with a solid performance in their exhibition opener against NCAA Division I member Gardner-Webb University, falling on the road by ten 62-52 in Paul Porter Arena.
The Tornados got off to a great start, as senior forward Joseph Chilton opened up the game with a three-pointer from the top of the key after BC won the opening tip.
The Runnin' Bulldogs battled back to knot the score up at 6-6, as neither team could pull away in the first eight minutes of the opening half. A jumper by BC's Andrew Freeman gave the Tornados a 15-14 lead at the 11:51 mark, the last lead of the game for Coach Jones' squad, as GWU's Grayson Flittner, the Big South Pre-season Player of the Year selection, connected on a long-range three only 30 seconds later to put the Runnin' Bulldogs on top for good at 20-15.
Over the next six minutes of play the Tornados hit an offensive lull, as Brevard scored only two points by way of two Jonathan Whitson free throws, while GWU extended their lead to 15 points at 32-17 with 5:30 to play in the first half.
A lay-up by redshirt-junior guard Cody Siniard at the 5:11 mark stopped the Tornados scoring drought as BC finished out the half on a 10-4 run to put the score at 36-27 in favor of the Runnin' Bulldogs at the half.
In the second half, the Tornados controlled the pace of the game as Coach Jones' squad ran their offense effectively and held the fast-paced Bulldogs to only 26 points in the final 20 minutes of play.
The Tornados used solid team defense and good ball control to cut the Runnin' Bulldogs lead to one point at 49-48 on a free throw by Siniard with 8:07 to go in the game.
Yet that is as close as Brevard would get, as GWU scored the next five points to pull ahead 54-48 with less than four minutes to go in the game.
In the closing minutes of the game the Runnin' Bulldogs looked to their seniors Flittner and Aaron Linn, as the two took over the game scoring nine of their team's final 11 points to hold off the Tornados and come away with the 62-52 exhibition win.
Leading the way for BC was Whitson with a team-high 16 points, with 14 of those coming in the second half. Starters Freeman and Chilton were both in double-figures, as Freeman had 11 points on 4-of-9 shooting, while Chilton had 10 points with eight of those coming in the first half.
Despite missing senior Sean Ferretti, who sat out due to injury, the Tornados showed their depth, as Coach Jones played nine players – including Nathan Whitmire, Darin Dellinger and Sam Carlisle – who all saw their first action since 2006-07 having set out last season.
For the Runnin' Bulldogs, the senior duo of Linn and Flittner combined to score 34 points, with Linn pouring in a game-high 18 points.
The Tornados second and final exhibition game will be on Friday, November 14, when Coach Jones' squad will take on another NCAA Division I and Big South member the Radford Highlanders in Radford, Virginia. The tip off is slated for 7 p.m.

The Kids Conversation
Lennie, I've been with my boyfriend now for almost two years. We live together, get along great, and we're talking marriage. There's only one bad thing. When we first started dating, he told me he doesn't want kids! I really want kids, but I really liked him at the time, so I thought maybe over time if we were still dating, things would change. How do I bring up the kids convo again without seeming like a fake who led him on?
Dear Kid Lover, when a man says he doesn't want kids, he usually means it. Most men speak their mind and don't waffle on important life-changing issues like that. I'd say there is no time like the present to have this conversation. If you want children, and he doesn't, that's not going to change a few years down the road. What's likely to happen is your eggs will be older, and you will be increasingly frustrated and resentful and your relationship may suffer. Get a firm 'yes' or 'no' now, before you waste more precious time. Good luck!

Taylor Swift gets Kanye'd .. again
Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio | Listen to Taylor Swift on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - More than three years after the most famous VMA interruption of all time, Kanye West still thinks Beyoncé is better than Taylor Swift.
And just like last time, it was an awards show that set him off. During a performance in London over the weekend, the rapper ripped into a slew of people and companies during an 11-minute rambling rant … including, once again, T-Swift.
"Taylor Swift beat Beyoncé at the Grammys?" he bellowed into the mic during a tirade, which also took aim at Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake's "Suit & Tie," according to MTV News. "Beyoncé be dancing in heels and s**t."
Was Kanye was once again sipping on a bottle of Courvoisier? (which he blamed for his 2009 outburst) Because, Beyoncé and Swift were not even nominated in the same category at this year's Grammys. Swift only won one trophy, for Best Song Written For Visual Media ("Safe and Sound") and her competition was Mumford & Sons and T Bone Burnett … not Beyoncé. But the "Halo" singer did win for Best Traditional R&B Performance with "Love on Top."
After Kanye embarrassed the then-19-year-old Swift at the VMAs in 2009, she showed her forgiveness at the following year's show by performing her new song "Innocent." Before she sang, a video montage played of that moment when he took the mic out of her hand as she gave her acceptance speech for Best Female Video and told the audience that Beyoncé deserved the award instead. "It's OK, life is a tough crowd," Swift sang at the time. "Thirty-two and still growing up now/Who you are is not what you did/You're still an innocent."
Well, Kanye is 35 now … and he doesn't seem to have grown up too much.
How will Swift respond this time? Seems like "I Knew You Were Trouble" has a whole new meaning
