1 Base Transceiver Station for W-CDMA System vsatoshi Maruyama vkatsuhiko Tanahashi vtakehiko Higuchi (Manuscript received August 8, 2002) In January 2001, Fujitsu started commercial delivery of a W-CDMA base transceiver station (BTS). We then dramatically increased the number of traffic channels in this BTS and reduced its power consumption. Then, in September 2002, we began mass production and delivery of the new, large-capacity BTS. This equipment conforms to the global standard specifications of the 3GPP (3 rd Generation Partnership Project) and was developed using all of Fujitsu s expertise, for example, expertise in radio technology, network technology, and electronic device technology. This paper gives an overview of this large-capacity BTS and introduces its features. 1. Introduction Fujitsu is aggressively pursuing the development of a W-CDMA system that conforms to the third-generation mobile communications system (IMT-2000). While conventional mobile phone systems center on voice services, W-CDMA systems will center on multimedia services. In order to provide multimedia services, the base transceiver station (BTS) must realize advanced functionality and high-performance, including the simultaneous transmission of voice and a variety of high-speed data services as well as high-quality transmission on the same level as fixed telephone networks. Multimedia services require much more bandwidth than voice services, so BTSs must have greater capacities to keep up with the increase in demand. In addition, it is necessary to have flexible expandability to support different equipment environments, reduce the installation size and power consumption, and provide the flexibility to adapt to changes in service contents. In 1997, Fujitsu supplied a BTS as test equipment for an NTT DoCoMo W-CDMA system, 1) and in January 2001 we started mass production and shipment of this BTS for commercial use. Then, by using our proprietary, high-efficiency transmitter amplification technology and high-speed baseband signal processing technology, we developed a new, high-capacity BTS. Compared to the equipment currently in use, our new BTS provides four times as much channel capacity with the same power consumption and size. Mass production and shipment of the new BTS was started in September About the W-CDMA system IMT-2000 is designed to support not only voice services, but also all manner of multimedia services, including fax, , high-speed data exchange, high-definition image transmission, motion picture transmission, and Internet services. Implementing such services requires that the BTSs can simultaneously transmit voice and a variety of high-speed data services as well as provide high-quality transmission.

This system has various features not found in conventional mobile communications systems that allow it to provide multimedia services. These features are as follows: 1) The bandwidth can vary from voice bandwidth to a maximum of 384 kb/s, and multiple multimedia services are transmitted together. 2) Transmission quality is at the same level as in a fixed telephone network. 3) When a mobile station moves into another base station zone, hitless handover is performed at zone switching without any interruption of communication. 3. Technologies of the new BTS 3.1 Main hardware Overview Figure 2 shows a photograph of the largecapacity BTS, Figure 3 shows the configuration, Table 1 shows the main specifications, and Figure 4 shows the shelf configuration. The large-capacity BTS consists of the following parts. 168 FUJITSU Sci. Tech. J., 38,2,(December 2002)
3 Expansion shelf Basic shelf Amplifier shelf Figure 4 Shelf configuration of large-capacity BTS ch 1) Radio part (TX-AMP, RX) This part is connected to the antenna and features a transmission power amplifier and lownoise receiving amplifier for amplifying the sent/ received RF signals. It performs D/A conversion of transmission signals spread on the baseband, thereby converting them to RF signals in quadrature modulation. It also performs quasi-coherent detection and A/D conversion of signals received from the receiving amplifier. 2) Baseband signal processor (BB) This part performs error correction coding, framing, data modulation, and spreading modulation of transmitted data. For the received signal, it performs despreading, chip synchronization, error correction decoding, data demultiplexing, RAKE reception, and diversity handover between sectors. 3) Common Control (CC) This part sends and receives control signals to and from the base station controller and controls, sets, and releases the radio links. It also performs ATM processing, ATM termination, and clock extraction from the transmission line at the transmission line interface between stations ch Features Our new, large-capacity BTS provides a large channel capacity in a compact size with less power consumption and is designed for easy channel expansion and maintenance. Its main features are as follows: 1) Compared to conventional models, it provides four times as much channel capacity with the same power consumption and physical size. Using our original high-efficiency transmitter amplifier technology and advanced baseband signal processing technology, we have achieved a capacity of 2880 voice channels or their equivalent. Compared with conventional models, this is a four-fold increase in capacity, yet it has been achieved with no increase in power consumption or physical size. 2) The basic configuration accommodates 6 sectors, 2 carriers, and 1440 channels. In its basic configuration, which consists of the amplifier shelf and BB basic shelf, the new BTS can accommodate up to 6 sectors, 2 carriers, and 1440 channels. More capacity can be added by using the BB expansion shelf. 3) The system can be expanded while active. The system can be operated without an expansion shelf in low-traffic areas, and if traffic increases after system deployment, easy system expansion is possible by adding an expansion shelf while the system is running. 3.2 Common control Overview The common control has functions for call processing control, radio link control, inter-station control, maintenance monitoring control, IP over ATM, remote file transfer, file memory, shared memory, shared bus control, transmission line switching, transmission line interface, reference clock timing generation, external interface, and debugging. There are also three types of transmission line interfaces that can be used according to the type of transmission line: 1.5 Mb/s electri- FUJITSU Sci. Tech. J., 38,2,(December 2002) 169
4 cal, 6.3 Mb/s electrical, or ATM Megalink optical Features 1) Mounting The common control is mounted on the right half of the MDE (Modulation and Demodulation Equipment) shelf. We integrated the common control into six packages by rearranging the various functional sections that used to be individual packages (i.e., the shared memory, file memory, external interface, shared bus control, and inter-station control), thereby achieving a high-density mounting that occupies only 60% of the space of the previous model. 2) Improved call processing performance In addition to achieving a more than four-fold increase in performance, we also did the following: Speeded up the CPU Speeded up the shared bus Added a variety of dedicated buses, and distributed the load by optimization Increased the ATM-SW capacity 3) Maintenance/operation The shared bus and various dedicated bus lines within the equipment can be monitored and traced by connecting a special debugging terminal. In addition, the ATM signals corresponding to the U-Plane and the C-Plane signals of the physical line can be monitored by connecting measuring instruments to the transmission line. The remotely controlled file transfer function distributes the load of file operations during downloads to decrease the load on the maintenance monitoring control function. In addition, hardware data can also be downloaded to allow flexible version upgrades. 3.3 Baseband signal processor (BB) Overview This function generates frames and performs error correction coding and spreading modulation for transmission data. It also performs despreading, path searches, RAKE reception, error correction decoding, and receive data demultiplex- SPREAD card To TX-AMP#0 To TX-AMP#1 Ant#0 Ant#1 High-speed IF Ant#0 Ant#1 [Spread processing] Code generation Power control Phase rotation control Amplitude control High-speed IF BB card From RX High-speed IF Despreading/Path detection Channel decoding/coding 2 nd Interleaving Service multiplexing/ Demultiplexing Rate matching 1 st Interleaving Channel coding ATM-IF Payload separation CRC calculation Cell generation CRC calculation UTOPIA UTOPIA From BBCOM To BBCOM Figure 5 Functional block diagram of baseband signal processing section. 170 FUJITSU Sci. Tech. J., 38,2,(December 2002)
5 ing of the receive signal (Figure 5) Features 1) Highly flexible and highly integrated. To optimize the implementation of functions, we promote a shift to firmware so we can support future enhancements to 3GPP specifications and we employ large 14 Mgate CE81-series ASICs in sections that perform large amounts of parallel processing (Figure 6). The firmware is constructed using advancedfunction, high-performance DSPs (3600 MIPS). These features enable 64 AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate) channels to be processed per BB card. 2) Offers improved data processing (e.g., packet transmission) performance. Each BB card can process 64 voice channels, and processing performance is further improved when voice is mixed with data (e.g., packet data transmission and unrestricted digital data transmission). The new BTS can process four 384 kb/s packet DL channels and 32 AMR channels. (This is equivalent to processing 96 voice channels.) 3) A dedicated spreading card (SPREAD) is used to optimize the functional partitioning so that the spreading section is independent (Figure 7). 4) Employs a common hardware card (BB card) that enables dedicated channel or common channel processing. The common CH (PRACH) card and dedicated CH (DTCH) card can be switched by software. The PRACH card supports a cell radius of up to 50 km (Figure 8). 3.4 Radio part Overview The radio part is composed of a modulator/ demodulator and a transmission amplifier. It provides up to 4 carriers per sector with a maximum RF output of 80 W/sector. Figure 7 SPREAD card. Figure 6 14 Mgate CE81 series ASIC. Figure 8 BB card. FUJITSU Sci. Tech.

Figure 9 High-efficiency TX-AMP (with digital predistorter) Features 1) The radio part features a high-efficiency transmitter amplifier (TX-AMP) that performs digital predistortion (Figure 9). By introducing this new TX-AMP, we have been able to reduce the power consumption of the transmitting RF amplifier by as much as 40% compared with conventional equipment (Figure 10). 2) The radio part can be flexibly configured according to the number of sectors. Each TX-AMP can be independently configured, enabling the optimum number of cards to be mounted for the installation environment. 4. Conclusion This paper gave an overview of our new, highcapacity, low power consumption W-CDMA base transceiver station. The system s power consumption was reduced by using a high-efficiency transmitter amplifier that uses digital predistortion technology. Also, the system s high-capacity was achieved by using an optimum configuration of DSPs and ASICs. Fujitsu is proceeding with the development of compact base stations and other equipment that will further accelerate high-speed data communication services and enable fine-tuned area expansion.

The story of Gilgamesh and his quest for immortality has fascinated readers for centuries. Below is my article on the great epic as published on Ancient History Encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy it.
The article begins:
The Epic of Gilgamesh was originally a Sumerian poem, later translated into Akkadian, and first written down some 700 – 1000 years after the reign of the historical king in the cuneiform script. The poem was known originally as Sha-naqba-imru (He Who Saw The Deep) or, alternately, Shutur-eli-sham (Surpassing All Other Kings). The fullest surviving version, in the Akkadian language, was found on twelve stone tablets in the ruins of the ancient library of Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria, at Nineveh in 1849 by the English explorer Austen Henry Layard. The first eleven tablets relate the standard version of the Epic while the 12th tablet narrates an older Sumerian poem, Bilgames and the Netherworld. As this tablet contradicts the story told in the first eleven, it is not included in most standard versions of the tale. The author/editor/translator of the Epic is named in the tablets, one Shin-Leqi-Unninni (whose name translates as `Moon god, accept my plea') who wrote c. 1300-1000 BCE and who has been cited as the first writer of literature in the western world (though that honor is rightly accorded to Enheduanna, daughter of Sargon of Akkad, who lived 2285-2250 BCE). According to the scholar N.K. Sandars, the work is "the finest surviving epic poem from any period until the apperance of Homer's Iliad; and it is immeasurably older"(Sandars, 7).

The Hymn to Ninkasi, Goddess of Beer - My article from Ancient History Encyclopedia
Beer was considered so important to the ancient Mesopotamians that they envisioned a Goddess whose sole responsibility was brewing. It is not surprising that the deity was female, rather than male, in that all (or at least the majority) of ancient brewers were women. That women were also propietors of ancient bars and pubs is attested to in the Code of Hammurabi and elsewhere, including depictions in art.
The article begins:
The Hymn to Ninkasi is at once a song of praise to Ninkasi, the Sumerian goddess of beer, and an ancient recipe for brewing. Written down around 1800 BCE, the hymn is no doubt much older. Evidence for brewing beer in the Mesopotamian region dates back to 3500-3100 BCE at the Sumerian settlement of Godin Tepe in modern-day Iran where, in 1992, archaeologists discovered chemical traces of beer in a fragmented jar dating to the mid-fourth century BCE (the same site also yielded evidence for early wine-making)...

Beer In The Ancient World - my article published on Ancient History Encyclopedia
Beer has been enjoyed by humans for much longer than most people think. The following is my article on Beer in the Ancient World published on Ancient History Encyclopedia:
The article begins:
The intoxicant known in English as `beer' takes its name from the Latin `bibere' (by way of the German `bier') meaning `to drink' and the Spanish word for beer, cerveza' comes from the Latin word `cerevisia' for `of beer', giving some indication of the long span human beings have been drinking beer. Even so, beer brewing did not originate with the Romans but began thousands of years earlier. The first beer in the world was brewed by the ancient Chinese around the year 7000 BCE (known as `kui'). In the west, however, beer brewing began with the Sumerians at the Godin Tepe settlement now in modern-day Iran between 3500 - 3100 BCE. Evidence of beer manufacture has been confirmed between these dates but it is probable that the brewing of beer in Sumeria was in practice much earlier. Some evidence has been interpreted which sets the date of beer brewing at Godin Tepe as early as 10,000 BCE when agriculture first developed in the region. While some scholars have contended that beer preceded bread as a staple, it is more likely that beer was `discovered' through grains used for bread-making which fermented.
The people of ancient Mesopotamia enjoyed beer so much that it was a daily dietary staple. Paintings, poems and myths depict both human beings and their gods enjoying beer which was consumed through a straw to filter out pieces of bread or herbs in the drink. The brew was thick, of the consistency of modern-day porridge, and the straw was invented by the Sumerians or the Babylonians, it is thought, specifically for the purpose of drinking beer. The famous poem Inanna and the God of Wisdom describes the two deities drinking beer together and the god of wisdom, Enki, becoming so drunk he gives away the sacred `me' (laws) to Inanna (thought to symbolize the transfer of power from Eridu, the city of Enki, to Uruk, the city of Inanna). The Hymn to Ninkasi is both a song of praise to the goddess of beer, Ninkasi, and a recipe for beer, first written down around 1800 BCE. In the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, the hero Enkidu becomes civilized through the ministrations of the temple harlot Shamhat who, among other things, teaches him to drink beer.

The Ghost of 22 Captain
This is my story `The Ghost of 22 Captain' published by Pagan Friends Magazine back in November. It's an excellent magazine and I hope you'll enjoy checking out this issue and the more recent ones.
`The Ghost of 22 Captain', although a ghost story, of course, is really about the opportunities we miss with each other through dishonesty. We are all so constantly afraid to look `stupid' we betray ourselves into behaving stupidly and miss some fantastic moments in life which we could have enjoyed and grown from. Even though some who know me suspect the tale is based on a `real life' incident, it is not. I hope you like it. Enjoy.
The site is here: http://thepaganfriends.wordpress.com/#Joshua
The story begins:
The return of 22 Captain to his family land elicited an ambiguous response from his dead family. As he reported it, they "showed their teeth" but said nothing. Realizing this gesture could be interpreted as either a blessing or a curse, he set off on his journey home, conscious only of a certain relief at putting some distance between himself and his deranged relatives.
Quite a walk – and he only three feet tall – if that – marching his little leather boots through the forest – under trees fifty or a hundred times his height with the wails and cheers of those who had cared for the earth while they lived bouncing off his wooden ear. His smile was fixed – his thin moustache undampened, and his high blue captain's hat sat tilted back on his head. He knew the way home. No amount of passing seasons – not even ninety-eight years worth – could cloud his memory. Nor did the changes in the terrain set him off course; he would have known his way should sky scrapers have been reared across the land since his death. He toddled on (he would prefer "marched" but one owes something to verisimilitude) until he broke from the forest and found a paved road. True, he did marvel somewhat at that but no matter – he knew where he was and who he was – and it was time he was getting home.

In your original, YEAR=15 is a symbol which gets passed to the PROC. In your new example, your JCL-checker is telling you that YEAR=15 is not a VERB, by which I guess it means "is not JCL". Which it isn't. You need to find ways, which are valid JCL, to set a value to a symbol.

Druk is a scientist who assists Flash Gordon in his fight against Ming the Merciless, and is seen in Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe (1940).
Druk's planet of origin is unknown. However, at some point it was conquered by the forces of Ming. Recognized as having a brilliant scientific mind, Druk was subsequently spared and brought to Mongo to work in Ming's laboratories and to help develop weapons of mass destruction.
Although Druk undertakes such work and feigns loyalty to Ming, he has constantly been awaiting an opportunity to avenge his people, most of whom were destroyed. At some point he befriends another fellow scientist named Karm, who is also held prisoner and the pair exchange what information they can whenever the attention of their guards is diverted.
Although Karm is eventually killed by Ming, Druk's chance for salvation finally comes when he meets Doctor Zarkov, when the Earthman is recaptured and put to work in the same laboratory. Zarkov had also worked with Karm and quickly forges an understanding with Druk.
Druk helps Flash Gordon and Dr Zarkov escape Ming's palace and steal the Z-O rocket ship, bravely staying behind alone to control the death rays which guard the Space Court. Druk does this on the understanding that he will be killed when the Z-O ship is aimed at the palace. Luckily, Druk gets to live a while longer, as ultimately only the tower of the palace is destroyed once Ming takes refuge there.
Druk was portrayed by actor Byron Foulger.

IELTS Writing Task 2 Sample 1131 - Violence at sport events is on the increase
- Details
- Last Updated: Saturday, 29 April 2017 14:56
- Written by IELTS Mentor
- Hits: 1730
IELTS Writing Task 2/ IELTS Essay:
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic:
Although sports events are very popular, violence at these events is on the increase. Why is this so? What should authorities do to prevent violence from taking place at sports events?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
You should write at least 250 words.
Sample Answer 1:
Despite the increasing popularity of sports events among people, it would be quite right to profess that brutality concerning sports competitions, particularly among fans, has globally grabbed attention. What here will be debated is the wagering of fans as one of the crucial ingredients, then will connote setting heavy fines by governments as a solution to reach a rational conclusion.
It seems that we need to consider the reasons why people in sports are used to commit severe behaviour from different perspectives. Monetary incentives, however, could widely be indicated as one of the chief agents. To illustrate, worldwide many figures are addicted to wager on their favourite sportsmen or teams, ranging from football matches to horse riding competitions. The stress of not succeeding in their bet and correspondingly losing a great deal of money leads to accusing violent treatment. These behaviours might occur in forms of bothering or hurting other individuals or damaging public properties etc.
Considering the diverse angles of this social phenomenon, setting a bunch of penalties against the populace particularly in wagering acts concerning sports events somehow could result in a fewer brutal etiquette of sport competition followers. As evidence, in some countries like Iran, wagering on any incident is identified as an unruly action in terms of legal and religion alike. Moreover, heavy fines or ever prison could be waiting for offenders attempting to bet on athletic competitions.
All in all, by way of conclusion, although the causes of violent behaviour in sports events are needed to be considered from a different angle, the financial losses stemming from losing wager can be sizably responsible for such manners. Nevertheless, it could be under control by legislating stricter laws regarding wagering, in particular, in the field of athletic.

The idea behind the LSB proposal is to create a standard sufficient to allow people to use software on any system, developers to write their code to one standard, and vendors to package software only once. Previous editorials have explained quite throughly most of the various benefits such standardization can bring, so I need not repeat them here.
In the specific case of the SEUL (Simple End-User Linux) Project, the advantages are even more obvious. Rather than creating Yet Another Distribution(tm), SEUL will focus on end-user work, such as designing and integrating new and existing UI components (e.g. GNOME). As long as we maintain compliance with the standard, the software will not only work in source form anywhere, but the binaries will work on any Linux system supporting the same version of the standard.
I consider SEUL to be a layer on top of an existing distribution. This would allow anyone, using RedHat, Debian, Caldera OpenLinux, SuSE, or any other distribution to install SEUL components. The idea of layering software is important, because the standard in its purest form will be nothing but a paper (er, electron) specification. The implementation is left up to those actually writing and packaging software. If the standard specifies too little, it doesn't do its job. If it specifies too much, we lose the benefits of the Linux development style, namely the diversity of code.
Partitioning the specification into an absolute Core, and Layers on top of that, allows users (or distributors) to put together what they need like a puzzle, as they do now, but with much larger pieces. The PSL (Pretty Secure Linux) project is a perfect example. Their plans are to create an extremely secure Linux distribution, largely ignoring other major areas of distribution design and construction. Since many security functions are in the networking code, PSL would reach a much larger audience if it could create a "networking layer" that's extremely secure, to simply replace the "default" networking layer.
If I had these things at my disposal at this moment, I would install a basic system, then install the PSL networking and/or filesystem layers on my gateway machine, development layers on most of my machines, and the SEUL interface layers and applications on my parents' machine (along with SoftWindows95... I can dream, right? [call Insignia... call Insignia....]).
Too large a specification, and users (and vendors) are stuck with an all-or-nothing decision. Either they get a secure machine, a user-friendly machine, or a development machine. This is poor.
I'm not claiming that a partitioned specification is a panacea. There are many issues with dependencies, etc. For instance, since upper layers will generally require specific functionality from lower layers, how do we define that functionality, and maintain dependency checking throughout, without making a complete mess of existing packaging schemes? These are issues that need to be worked out by a relatively small group of technically competent people who understand all the issues.
The process used to develop this specification needs to be considered very carefully. We must be careful to ensure that everyone is fairly represented, and make sure that the current (insanely high) pace of Linux development isn't adversely affected. The best way to do this is to organize in the same manner as other successful open-source projects. It should be almost purely a technical project, given its complex technical nature, and should have input from every distribution, as many ISVs as possible, and any other developers.
There are a lot of non-technical issues to be worked out as well, but we must be very careful to keep them separate from the technical process. A conscious effort is necessary because I don't believe there has ever been a project with such potential for political problems. Then again, we've never had such an opportunity to fundamentally affect the course of Linux development in the public eye. Keeping all (or the vast majority) of the technical decisions politically neutral is necessary in order to create a standard everyone will accept. We know from past experience that technical discussion eventually works things out to a successful outcome, regardless of surrounding issues, as long as those issues don't interfere.
The support of the entire Linux Community is necessary for this project to go forward. The SEUL project is solidly behind the LSB proposal and adopting a standard that unites the Community, reduces unnecessary work, and removes a few more barriers to full acceptance of Linux in the wider world of computing.

Just a touch sweeter than Guinness, and slightly less bittter. At 13.7% alcohol by volume, its 4 times as strong with a nice creamy head. Easy drinking and easy to get drunk! Going to let it condition a bit longer, probably until St. Patrick's Day. My next batch is an Irish Red, my first all grain/no extract brew, so I'm a bit apprehensive of that. At only 6% ABV, I should be able to condition that one for a shorter period and tap them both for one hell of a St. Patrick's Day. 10 Gallons of quality home brew. Anyone else brew your own?

Feedback on Deals on Wheels
Nile Motormouth Jenkins……… I happened to stop by the Super Flea driving by one Friday late afternoon. The stacks and stacks tires in the parking lot caught my attention! I had been on the hunt for a pair of tires that were an oddball size for an older 80`s muscle car I have been working on and thought….. I wonder if these guys would have the set I need. I connected with Mark, introduced myself and found out Mark is a Christian and has been a fan of Car Connection on WDCX for many years! We laughed since Mark had always intended to call Car Connection and inquire about becoming one of our recommended businesses! It turned out to be a God moment, Mark had a set of the tires I had been searching for (the only 2 he had in fact), just what I needed, mission accomplished, Great tires, great price, awesome connection in meeting Mark and Deals On Wheels.

Left to grieve for more than enough days, the mama pup made sure to never leave her little one's side. No matter how much time had passed, as was evident in the tiny decaying corpse beside her--she would not leave his side. The sadness she experienced didn't stop her from protecting him either, she would even carry his tiny body in her mouth when moving around the area. Seeing a picture of her in complete devastation over her little one is enough to make anyone have a heavy heart.
We wanted not another moment to pass in which this loving mama pup had to keep reliving the same anguish and depression over and over again. She had one pup left from the previous litter and we were determined to save them both and bring them safely to our rescue so we could make sure they would, from this moment forward keep on living for themselves and each other.
Sage is 18 months, spayed, vaccinated, heart worm tested, fecal tested, microchipped, and has received dental. Sage is available for adoption individually or by her pup Amani.
Our adoption policy is only for Southern California.
Foster or adoption application and home check is required, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com to receive your application.
***More photos of before rescue are available upon request. However due to graphics we decided not to post them on Adopt A Pet.
We work hard to make sure each and every one of our rescue pups is healthy and treated medically before placing them in any foster or forever home. Each and every one of our rescues receive medical care immediately upon rescue without a moment's hesitation. Included in vetting is a spay/neuter procedure, microchip, heartworm and fecal tests, Parvo test for puppies, complete vaccinations, and dental if age 2 years and up even younger if needed. They also get treated with monthly with flea/parasite preventative.
We also rescue senior and medical dogs, we provide all medical interventions requested by our veterinarians and consult or treatment by specialists. Our goal is to not rush their adoption, but to ensure that each one of our precious pups will only be in a home as a loved and cherished member of the DogTag: You're It family to their new forever home.
Included in the application is a veterinarian reference check as well as work or personal reference check. We never adopt out on a first come, first serve basis because we consider this a lifelong commitment and we want to be certain that we are making the best decision for both the forever family and our rescue. No one knows our rescues better than we do and we want to be certain that we consider their individuality when choosing their home. At the time of the home screening we will observe the interaction of our rescue with each and every member of the household including the family pets.
When our rescue goes to his or her new home, he or she will be up to date with all medical, current on vaccinations, microchipped, spayed or neutered, treated with Revolution a high quality flea/parasite preventative, as well as supplied with a collar, leash, and Canine Friendly harness. We also feed all of our rescues while they have been in foster homes, grain-free and high quality nutritious food such as Pulsar, Orijen, and Wellness. It is mandated for all of our puppies to attend puppy obedience classes within two months of their adoption.
We take such special care of our pups and we want to be completely positive that we place them in a home perfect for that particular dog. We require an adoption application and a home screening to make sure our safety standards are met. The adoption donation fee ranges from $220 for adult dogs and $120 for cats. The fee includes spay/neuter, full vaccination, fecal test, heartworm test, microchip, in many cases dental cleaning, flea/parasite preventative, FIV/FELV test for our felines, collar, and harness.
The adoption donation fee will allow us to continue to help our other rescues, some of which are medical and senior dogs in permanent foster home.

E-mail archiving and management advice from C2C
Storage Expo
: 09 September, 2008
(Technical Article)
Dave Hunt of C2C provides useful advice on managing and archiving enterprise e-mail systems
With only 20% of companies demonstrating good control on email management, Dave Hunt of C2C comments on the state of email management and archiving and notes what resellers can do to position themselves as protectors of companies' most used and valuable communication method.
Just how bad does it get? Though around 30% of organisations have some form of archiving in place, most consider that this would not constitute adequate control. A recent survey by C2C found that 65% of respondents had set mailbox capacity limits meaning in effect, that end users were responsible for managing their own mailboxes. In practice, this self regulation probably results in significant lost productivity and constitutes a poor strategy for managing and discovering data. In this article, we consider the top five questions being by resellers interested in recommending email management:-
1 Is Email control a management or archive issue?
It is a management issue and archiving is part of the solution. Resellers should identify a solution that identifies unnecessary emails, handles attachments and provides automated quota management which should be part of a strategic 'cradle to grave' management of email. It isn't a case of archiving email merely to reduce the live storage footprint, but part of a well thought-out strategy, designed hand-in-hand with the customer that aids productivity and time management and that can be implemented by an IT department simply and economically.
2 What is the biggest problem for email management - storage costs, 'loss' of information or compliance issues?
All of these are problems. Some will cost your customers on a daily basis; others could result in huge fines in liability. Failure to preserve email properly could have many consequences including brand damage, high third-party costs to review or search for data, court sanctions, or even instructions to a jury that it may view a defendant's failure to produce data as evidence of culpability.
3 What guidelines should be in place for mailbox quotas - and how can these be made more business friendly?
Most specialists in email management agree that mailbox quotas are a bad idea. The only use would be a quota for automatic archiving, whereby, on reaching a specific mailbox threshold, email is archived automatically (and invisibly to the user) until a lower threshold is reached. Our C2C survey also found that those who self-manage email to stay within quotas frequently delete messages, delete attachments, and/or create a PST file. The over-reliance on PST files as a means to offload email creates several challenges when companies must meet legal requirements, since PST files do not have a uniform location and cannot be searched centrally for content with traditional technologies. Resellers can explain that reliance on PST files is poor practice.
4 Once retention schedules and compliance have been met, does the email need to be destroyed - and if so, how should resellers' recommend companies go about this?
In some instances it is necessary to delete emails once the retention period has passed, in others it is only an option. Deletion also depends on the industry type, for instance, does it have to be guaranteed destruction, such as to US DoD standards, or is a simple removal of the email sufficient?
5. What would be your top tips be for email management?
Resellers that wish to add true value should consider the whole picture of email data management, from the instant an email is sent to the time it is finally destroyed.
C2C is exhibiting at Storage Expo 2008 the UK's definitive event for data storage, information and content management. Now in its 8th year, the show features a comprehensive FREE education programme and over 100 exhibitors at the National Hall, Olympia, London from 15 - 16 October 2008.

This is a photo I took about a year and a half ago of local latin artist, Persona. We wanted that Little Havana vibe, so we took it in front of a fruit vendor truck and he sat down on a milkcrate. This is another one of my favorite photos because I used nothing but natural lighting and the use of primary colors (Red, Blue, Yellow) really made the photo "pop" persay.

9 March 1942, Garnant, Carmarthenshire, Wales. Cale was a student of viola and keyboards at Londons Goldsmiths college when introduced to electronic music. In 1963 he won a Leonard Bernstein scholarship to study modern composition at the Eastman Conservatory in Massachusetts, but later moved to New York where he joined the Dream Syndicate, an avant garde ensemble founded by LaMonte Young. It was during this period that Cale began playing rock and the following year he met Lou Reed through a mutual association with Pickwick Records. Sceptical of the companys desire for exploitative releases, the duo left to form a group that later evolved into the Velvet Underground. Cale remained with this highly influential act until 1968, during which time his experimental predisposition combined with Reeds grasp of pops traditions to create a truly exciting lexicon, embodied to perfection in Sister Ray from White Light/White Heat....

To answer this question, the process should be: * update version to reflect proper version for release candidate, check it in, run svn update, so that the version reported doesn't contain an 'M' or a range * build release candidate, RC then reflects a specific revision in Subversion * bump the last digit, and commit the version again so that any further changes to the branch are reflected as not being in the RC version and sysinfo reports a version that is newer than the RC version. There is also a question on the page about running maintversion2props, I'm pretty sure the build.xml in tools/release handles this, no? Dyre, if you didn't need to run it separately, please remove the mention of this tool from the page. Thanks, andrew

It is time to come back to school!
We are excited to welcome you and your child back to campus for the 2016-2017 school year. This past school year was filled with many memorable activities and significant gains in student academic performance. We recently received our campus STAAR results, and I am pleased to inform you that our students made the largest gains of any school in our district:
· 4th grade math increased 26%
· 4th grade reading increased 35%
· Writing increased 21%
· 3rd grade math increased 8%
· 3rd grade English reading 12%
· 3rd grade Spanish reading 50%
Additionally, students in every grade level increased their reading levels and improved their performance in mathematics. Our campus also showed the largest gain in student attendance. We appreciate your support and teamwork as we work diligently to provide a learning environment that is safe, joyful and challenging for all students.
More than 300 of you completed our parent survey at the end of the school year. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback as we continue to plan and improve our services to you and our students. More than 95% of you responded that your student enjoys coming to school, that the school staff is willing to listen, and that the environment of the school is positive. One area we will work to improve is regular and ongoing communication from teachers.
There are a few important changes in our daily schedule and school calendar this year. Please refer to the information on our website for details. We will have a longer school day with a few more student holidays built into the calendar.
Please plan to join us at Meet the Teacher on Thursday, August 18th from 4:30-6:30 p.m. School supply packs will be on sale, and you may also purchase school shirts for $10. Smith Academy will remain a uniform school this school year, and students are allowed to wear jeans on Friday with a school shirt.
Looking Forward to a Great Year!
Raymond Stubblefield

On Saturday, the Heat got a feel good bounce back road against the Wolves beating them 103-82.The Heat had started their week on the wrong foot as they accumulated two straight losses. The first to the Detroit Pistons, and then got out-hustled by a Rose-less Bulls team. The Heat played a Wolves team who were without Kevin Love who was out due to a death in the family, but still presented a threat as they are one of the best rebounding teams in the league while the Heat are 30th.
Dwyane Wade, was a factor from the get, he rejoined the team after missing back to back games. Wade played 32 minutes even after a first half scare where he bumped knees with Kevin Martin and was in some noticeable pain. He finished with 19 points, 5 rebounds 4 assist. Coach Spoelstra had emphasized the teams lack of rebounding before the game and LeBron's 21 points and 14 rebound effort echoed that and the team followed as they totaled 44 rebounds to the Wolves 45.
Nikolai Pekovic dominated the glass and made it tough for the Heat on the block, he finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds. Kevin Martin attacked mostly from the outside and kept Minnesota in the game in the first half as before cooling down in the 3rd and 4th quarters. He totaled with 19 points 4 rebounds and 4 steals.
NEXT GAME: The Heat will now look to get revenge on the Pistons as they go to Auburn Hills on Sunday.
