Here, Wireless previews the eventThis year's TETRA World Congress returns to Europe, having being held in Singapore last year, and will be at the Hungexpo Centre in Budapest, Hungary on 25-27 May 2011, with pre-conference seminars and masterclasses taking place on 24 May at the city's Corinthia Hotel. This year's Congress, the 13th annual event, has the theme of 'Critical Communications for an Evolving World' and the agenda will focus on how TETRA is being developed and deployed to meet the needs of end users today and in the future. The conference will see more than 150 speakers share their experiences both from a deployment and a development perspective. The programme features case studies of TETRA being used to provide critical communications for professionals in public safety, defence, transport, utilities, oil and gas and other industries. End-to-end solutionThe conference will also explore what advances are being made to ensure that TETRA continues to offer the best end-to-end solution as users' voice and data requirements evolve.The TETRA World Congress opens on 25 May with a welcome address from Dr Zsolt Nyitrai, secretary of the national development ministry of the Hungarian government. That introduction is followed by a plenary session delivered by Peter Goulding, chief superintendent, directorate of information, London Metropolitan Police. Goulding's presentation, entitled 'Evolving Frontline Critical Communications: TETRA in Action from Protests to Celebrations', will detail the challenges involved in meeting and managing the demands of day to day communications for London's Metropolitan Police. He will explore how to scale the TETRA network and resources to manage major events, including large scale demonstrations and celebrations, and then examine what the future holds for TETRA in terms of ensuring officers can access the voice and data applications they require.There will then follow a session examining where TETRA is going. This will involve speeches from Tom Quirke, VP and general manager of the TETRA products and solutions organisation at Motorola Solutions, and Giovanni Guidotti, deputy CTO and technology and product planning VP at SELEX Communications. Those speeches will be followed by a panel session discussing how to cut costs while maximising network efficiency. Participants will include: Richard Bobbett, CEO of Airwave; Marc de Buyser, director-general of ASTRID; Béla Kozma, CEO of Pro-M; Stefan Kvarneras, CEO of RAKEL and Ralf Krost, CEO of BDBOS.A second panel session, this time described as a brainstorm addressing large-scale event security, follows. Panelists include: Jolly Wong, chief telecom engineer, information systems wing, Hong Kong Police; Marc Schneider-Enskat, director of rental department at Riedel; Per-Ove Povén, chief inspector of Stockholm County Police; Major Cajuiero, projects manager and SIAD manager of the state security secretariat of Rio de Janiero and Peter Goulding.The session concludes with a presentation from Kozma on his work evaluating user feedback to constantly develop and improve the Hungarian TETRA network. Sporting TETRAThe afternoon features three seminar streams. Stream A addresses public safety, Stream B addresses transport and Stream C features interactive discussion sessions on end user terminal requirements, large event and incident planning, deploying TETRA at sporting events and an exploration of the TETRA deployment at the 2004 Olympic Games.The second day of the Congress will begin with opening remarks from Phil Godfrey, chairman of the TETRA Association. Godfrey's address will be followed by a presentation from Eric Davalo, CTO of Cassidian. Davalo will explore how to meet operational needs for an end-to-end solution using TETRA and LTE or WiMAX. Undersheriff Richard Lucia of the San Francisco Bay Area Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) Approval Authority will follow with a presentation on how to deploy a public safety mobile broadband system using LTE in the US. Provocatively titled 'How can Europe Catch Up?', Lucia's presentation will review the system implementation process and argue the case for allocating further radio frequency for public safety usage. Lucia's presentation is followed by one from Analysys Mason partner Duncan Swan, who asks if there will ever be a better solution for mission critical communications than TETRA. He will look at the evolution of TETRA and the lessons learnt to date, examining whether when it comes to refreshing the early adopters of TETRA, the technology is their only choice. He will also ask how TETRA will evolve and yet retain its best features.In the afternoon, there will also be three streams. Stream A will focus on application and software development, Stream B will look at TETRA for energy and industry and Stream C will feature interactive discussions on business continuity planning, effective use of TETRA in crisis situations and evaluation of requirements for network renewals. In addition, there will a Hungarian language stream.In the evening, delegates are invited to attend the TETRA World Congress 2011 Gala Evening, which will be held on the 'Europe Boat' for a cruise on the River Danube.Pre-conference seminars and masterclassesThere will be several streams and options available for attendees.

'Teen Wolf' Season Finale Preview: When Kanimas Die (VIDEO)
But ignoring those forces is no longer an option as the crescendo is upon Beacon Hills just as the season finale of Teen Wolf is upon its audience.
Scott must finally turn his attention to Gerard (Michael Hogan), who has promised he will let Scott be with Allison (Crystal M. Reed) if he just delivers Derek (Tyler Hoechlin) and his pack. But whether or not Gerard's deal is legit is not even Scott's biggest concern, as Allison has finally embraced her warrior side and gone off the deep end a bit in her own right.
Can Scott pull her back to save everyone once again? And is Jackson *really* dead?
Though it appeared from his stunning lacrosse "death" that Jackson (Colton Haynes) did the noble thing and took himself out before the kanima could kill again, we have to wonder if Teen Wolf really wants to lose one of its star players.
(We also have to wonder if Jackson really did take himself out or if someone else on that field had a secret they were just determined to keep, but that may be a whole other conversation…)
Judging from the clip MTV has teased the finale with below, though, it seems the supernatural drama isn't so ready to say good-bye to Jackson after all, as some part of him is still fighting — even when on a slab.
Or Gerard is still managing to control him — quite literally the puppeteer of this now immobile kanima vessel?
But there may not be much time to deal with that, as in "Master Plan," the second season finale for MTV's Teen Wolf, Scott and his friends — and mom! — have to rush to figure out Gerard's master plan while Derek plots to take him down using his own methods, and Stiles (Dylan O'Brien) is being tortured in his own right.
Can't they ever just sit down to a nice, normal dinner instead?
Who else do you think might not make it out of Teen Wolf alive? Cast your votes in the comments below!

In fact, one of our lovely readers even commented to this recently:
Christine said, "I love Chicago and before Macy's purchased Marshall Field's that was my favorite place to shop when in Chicago. The architecture along with all styles the store carried made a fun shopping day." Well, you are not alone, Christine. Even our tour guide on the architecture boat tour said he refused to enter the building since Macy's took over. They seem to still have a deep PR problem with the true Chicago shopper. I wonder who the American icon really is??
I literally stalked this woman below...chasing her down Michigan Ave. If you look closely at her attire, it is exactly what I described in this post, HERE. She is wearing the leaf on top and the granite leggings on the bottom. WOW...great minds think alike...I still think it would look good in a tunic top!

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by BrAinPaiNt, Apr 11, 2013.
Are we grumpy!?
That was an interesting pick.
Pretty high for Knile Davis
Aw man Texans took Montgomery. Should be a good edge rusher to pair with Mercilus and Brooks Reed
I like the way this player runs but I worry about his staying healthy. He'll probably be ok.
They now have two backs with incredible speed.
and that, as they say, is that
rounds 4- 6 tomorrow (7 if we end up getting a pick somehow)
I don't like LBs with poor instincts but that could change for him. Not sure. But he shore is fast. {Forest Gump}
Can't teach speed. You know that player and entire team was disappointing this year.
We drafted 3 potential starters and a backup in Escobar,it could have been worse.
I guess OLine is the way to go in the 4th. Would love Okafor but I doubt he lasts all the way to 114. And the rest of the remaining DLine prospects aren't anything to get excited about...definitely no starters left.
Again, and for the millionth time, if we have a base 12, THE SECOND TE IS A STARTER.
this is you assumption,i refuse to believe we run a base 12 unless Garrett specifically says so.
I guess our front office feels like we were only a Travis Frederick away from a salty offensive line.
I can't wait to read how he will make Livings and Bernadeau better. Good stuff.
To be fair, maybe you should wait until after the draft to post this. Several good lineman prospects still left, as are several FA prospects.
Outside of Escobar, I like what we addressed.
Everyone knew our interior line needed massive work, so we added a massive road grader in Frederick who can play center or guard. More work needs to be done there, but it's probably best done in free agency with Clabo, Winston and/or Brandon Moore.
Miles Austin's injuries have been a big concern the past two years, so Dallas drafts a big receiver who could end up as his replacement on the outside.
Safety was one of our top concerns, and it wasn't alleviated in FA, so Dallas gets a converted receiver who showed great potential at the position to compete with another potential starter the team really likes.
If Escobar secures the future of the TE position and provides a second threat in the presence that allows Dallas to effectively use two-TE formations, then it will be all good.
I know some people's pet cats were bypassed and blaming Jerry is what it's all about, but this draft haul seems to be full of guys who will contribute. Of course, it might not work out that way, but it's possible Dallas upgraded at four positions.
Frederick for Cook/Costa/Bernadeau
Escobar for Phillips
Williams for Ogletree
Wilcox for Sensabaugh
Tell that to Jay Ratliff.
The last 2 picks really saved the draft, it was looking pretty bad after we took the tight end
Escobar could end up being the biggest game changer from this draft. I don't get why people dislike the pick so much.
I guess they never heard of Gronk and Hernandez. Mismatch City.

- 12 ounces whole wheat penne
- 3/4 pound green cabbage, chopped
- 1 large Yukon Gold potato (3/4 pound), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped thyme
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 ounces Italian Fontina cheese, shredded (1 cup)
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for serving
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water.
Fill the pasta pot with 1 inch of water. Spread the cabbage in a steamer basket set over the pasta pot and top with the potato. Steam the vegetables until very tender, stirring once or twice, about 10 minutes. Pour off the water and wipe out the pot.
In the same pot, melt the butter in the olive oil. Add the garlic and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the cabbage and potato along with the rosemary and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Cook until slightly dry, about 2 minutes. Add the pasta with its cooking water and cook, stirring and breaking up the potato, until the sauce is creamy and thick, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the Fontina and the 1/4 cup of Parmigiano. Transfer the pasta to bowls and serve, passing extra grated cheese at the table.

A Cross-Site Comparison of Factors Influencing Soil Nitrification Rates in Northeastern USA Forested Watersheds
- First Online:

Elevated N deposition is continuing on many forested landscapes around the world and our understanding of ecosystem response is incomplete. Soil processes, especially nitrification, are critical. Many studies of soil N transformations have focused on identifying relationships within a single watershed but these results are often not transferable. We studied 10 small forested research watersheds in the northeastern USA to determine if there were common factors related to soil ammonification and nitrification. Vegetation varied between mixed northern hardwoods and mixed conifers. Watershed surface soils (Oa or A horizons) were sampled at grid or transect points and analyzed for a suite of chemical characteristics. At each sampling point, vegetation and topographic metrics (field and GIS-based) were also obtained. Results were examined by watershed averages (n = 10), seasonal/watershed averages (n = 28), and individual sampling points (n = 608). Using both linear and tree regression techniques, the proportion of conifer species was the single best predictor of nitrification rates, with lower rates at higher conifer dominance. Similar to other studies, the soil C/N ratio was also a good predictor and was well correlated with conifer dominance. Unlike other studies, the presence of Acer saccharum was not by itself a strong predictor, but was when combined with the presence of Betula alleghaniensis. Topographic metrics (slope, aspect, relative elevation, and the topographic index) were not related to N transformation rates across the watersheds. Although found to be significant in other studies, neither soil pH, Ca nor Al was related to nitrification. Results showed a strong relationship between dominant vegetation, soil C, and soil C/N.

Ozone measurements in Europe
- Citations
- 42 Downloads
Ozone measurements have been apart of EMEP since its third phase in 1984–1986 and since 1988 data have been collected systematically. By 1992 data for 76 sites were being collected by the Chemical Co-ordinating Centre in NILU. The mean ozone concentration increases from 20–25ppb in the western and northern fringes to 30–35 in central areas of Europe. There is also evidence from the last decade of an upward trend of up to 0.5ppb y−1 at rural sites in the UK. The data have been analysed to estimate the spatial patterns in AOT 40 for ozone effects on crops and forests. The data show that the critical level for cereal crops of 5300 ppb.h above a threshold of 40 ppb is exceeded over almost all of continental Europe south of 65°N and over most of S.Britain. A similar exercise for the AOT 40 for the forest again shows exceedances of the critical load of 104 ppb.h across all the mapped area of Continental Europe south of 65°N including S.Britian. As land use for forestry and ozone dose both increase with altitude, and these effects have not so far been incorporated in the AOT 40 assessment for forests, the degree of exceedence for forests may have been significantly under-estimated.

I have spent months researching a lot of other people and read a lot of what people are having problems with. Is there really any way of making money with dop shipping as eveything seems so hard and negative. For e.g. Don't deal with these goods and it' shard to make more than a 5-10 dollar profit margin. We all seem to be going around in circles and ending up with more ebay fees

Feel free to criticise the police again
I am glad to see that 10 years on from September 11, 2001, it is finally ok to criticise poor performance by police and emergency services when it happens. The UK Prime Minister David Cameron felt it was ok to stridently criticise police performance in the London riots, and the London Met obviously were not used to it. Closer to home the Western Australia Fire and Emergency Services Authority has reportedly been given a blast for its totally inept performance in the Roleystone fires of earlier this year in which over 70 houses were destroyed in a report by an enquiry led by ex AFP boss Mick Keelty. The WA Cabinet won't release the report but details leaked out on the weekend. The performance of some emergency services in the Queensland floods of earlier this have also come in for heavy criticism.
I have high regard for people who commit themselves to public service. I did fair stint of that myself. But for a long time after the attack on the World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001 it seemed that staunch criticism of police and emergency services was unacceptable in the US, Australia and the UK and other countries. It seemed that after any incident involving police or emergency services, the requirement was fulsome praise of all the officers involved if they performed well, or silence on the matter of their performance if they obviously performed poorly. Criticism, especially staunch criticism of poor performance, wasn't an acceptable option. After the genuinely heroic deeps of the NY Police Department and especially its Fire Department on 9/11 police, fire and other emergency fire departments in the US were elevated in public estimation of their importance and commitment to public service. They also became elevated in their own self importance. Criticism of their performance, and especially the way they treated the public wasn't really acceptable for a long time.
My experience from seven years of living in America was that criticism of law enforcement officers was very muted even before the 9/11. By way of example, in 1998, when I had only been there a short while, a guy in a town in Vermont near in home in New Hampshire became demented. He went to the altar of a church in the town seeking protection from the demons in his mind. He had a knife but was not threatening anyone. Police entered the church and ordered him to put the knife down. He didn't ever threaten them, but when he ignored their orders (he couldn't hear them above the voices in his head) they shot him dead right at the altar. The local paper reported this as the police doing their job, and expressed no concerns about it. When I raised the matter with work colleagues and neighbours their reaction was the same. The Police had done their duty and should not be criticised in any way. After a while I became accustomed to those types of incidents in the US. After 9/11 it got worse.
America is its own thing. They have a complex love-hate relationship with authority, with the love part coming more to the fore after 9/11. When I returned to live in Australia in 2004, having lived in the UK and US since 1992, I was surprised at how much the public attitude toward police and emergency services had changed. Australian is more of a Celtic expression of British culture, whereas America is a more a Germanic expression of British culture — British culture being the confluence of Celtic, Germanic and other influences. Australia has never had a love affair with authority — quite the opposite really. Expressions of authority have to demonstrate their utility in Australia, otherwise they are swept aside. But, recently I have been starting to wonder — policing (especially) and emergency services in Australia seems to be becoming more aggressive, more American, more pumped up, more self-important than it was back in the day.
So, I am glad it is ok to criticise the police and emergency services again, if they act in a capricious of arbitrary manner, 10 years after 9/11, as well as giving well deserved praise when it is due.
5 Responses to "Feel free to criticise the police again"
I have never heard anyone say that Australia is more of a Celtic manifestation and Americans more of a Germanic manifestation of the original European founders, the vast majority of whom were English, than Lowland-Scots, who are primarily Germanic Angles, also some Swedes and other Brits. It could be true what you say, but please tell me how you came to that conclusion. I myself have a Celtic (Scottish-Gaelic) surname and my ancestors were northern Lowlanders from Perthshire. My mother's side is mostly English, with some Welsh, Scottish, Scots-Irish (Scottish Borderers/Lowlanders transplanted to Ulster) and Irish. I'd say I am roughly and even mixture between Germanic (Germanic to me means not from Germany but the Indo-European (IE) tribes from the Black Sea area who mixed with the native, presumably non-Indo-European speaking upper-paleolithic survivors. This ethnic mixture, all componants being similar in lack of pigmentation, were dominated by the Nordic/Mediterranean IE's, linguistically and culturally. The very epicenter of this Germanic ethnogenesis was Denmark and the southern and central regions of Sweden.) But the Celts and Germanics 2000 years ago were very similar, ancient Gaulish compated to Gothic is quite similar where as Gaelic to modern Swedish or English is so foreign in structure, to me looks almost non-IE. The ancient Celts in Britain were also of similar Nordic racial types, were warlike and had a far more authoritarian priesthood, the Druids who wielded far more secular power than any Germanic priestly class. I see not much difference in material culture, religion, warfare, ethics between these two Indo-European cousins. We know from all the articles coming out that the English are more Germanic than thought, but how much more and is there really much of a difference between ancient Celts or Teutons? The only thing I can see was that the Celts were Christianize (castrated) several centuries before the Anglo-Saxons and even longer before the North-Gmc Norse. This put them at a spiritual disadvantage. The pagan Angle, Dane, Jute or Swede show little pity in warfare and nothing was more honorable than battle and one earned fame and eternity by being fearless, ruthless and willing to die for his lord. It would be rather difficult for people with a Christian ethic, all other things being equal to match that. You may be right but please laborate. Ken Doig http://www.proto-germanic.com
Reading you comment, it appears that we are agreed that British culture is the confluence of Celtic and Germanic influences. As you obviously know, the whole of the British Isles were populated by tribes speaking the Celtic languages Bythonic A and B until the arrival of the Romans in the first century AD and then the Germanic invasions of the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, some Fresians, then later the Danes, the Norwegians and the Normans — all Germanic speaking peoples (except the Normans who had taken on French since their Viking days).
British culture has these two faces. The controversial bit is whether American culture shows the Germanic side of British culture and Australian culture the Celtic side.
I know it was a mere assertion. I based it on personal observation — having lived in the UK for 5 years and the US for 7 years.
When I went to live in the US I was struck be how much more Australia is like the UK than the US, and also by how Germanic the US is — which led to my observation.
The US is Germanic in how Calvinist it is. Also in its complex love-hate relationship with authority — on the one had having a libertarian streak and strong sense of national independence (and exceptionalism) and on the other hand embracing authority in the form of the commitment to military service, the death penalty, love of law and order, large prison population, liberal gun ownership laws, the love of cop shows on the TV, etc. The US is Germanic is how well organised it is. its facility with technology and the management of complexity and its economic productivity. Australia (and NZ and Canada) seem more Celtic in all of these things — especially the attitude to authority.

Interesting post but I cannot say that I ever noticed that:
"for a long time after the attack on the World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001 it seemed that staunch criticism of police and emergency services was unacceptable in ..Australia.. and other countries. "
I guess it is hard to prove. Perhaps you are right. I certainly notice that once Australia committed to Iraw, all of a sudden there was way less criticism of the policy, perhaps becuase it would be seen as disloyal to the troops. And now I recall, the teenager with a knife who was shot a couple of years back by three polcie in attendance. There was some kind of enquiry but criticism was…"muted" as you say. The police spokeman argued that it was justified, so as to reduce the risk to his members. I nearly disgorged by dinner. Police are now apparently allowed to place their own safety above all considerations, including the life of a 15 year old!

My husband and stayed here last year after Thanksgiving. The house is a beautiful historic home and our room had a little sitting room and a bathroom with a claw foot bathtub. The hosts were wonderful and sat down and ate breakfast with us- they are an older couple with a wealth of experiences and interesting stories to tell. I would highly recommend this bed and breakfast. Sadly when we were there they had the house up for sale so I hope that someone with as much love and passion for history and hospitality buys the home and will keep it as lovely as it is.

The Ruddick-Nugent House was a wonderful get-a-way from home. We traveled a couple of hours just to have a weekend away, without getting too far from home. Dennis and Joyce were wonderful people that were great company when we wanted company. When we wanted a chance just to spend time together we were able to get peace and quiet, as if we were the only ones there, in a full house. The house had a great story behind it and was very comfortable. We appreciated the Orwins making our first night away from our daughter an enjoyable and comfortable one.

My wife and I spent the weekend in Columbus as a weekend vacation and we were fortunate enough to stay at the Riddick-Nugent B&B...Dennis and Joyce are amazing hosts who truly know what the service industry is all about. A beautiful house, with amazing accommodations, and the breakfast every morning was outstanding. Would strongly recommend anyone looking for a B&B this is where we would recommend.

My husband and I had a wonderful fall get-away at the Ruddick-Nugent House last weekend! We loved the decor of William's room and the rest of the home - especially the living room with the piano, books, photos, and chess sets. The breakfast was delicious and filling - a great combo! Dennis was a welcoming host, and we could not have been more pleased with our stay!

My husband and I's 3 night stay was very enjoyable. The house is beautiful and our room was very large and comfy - including a claw foot bath tub and oils for soaking! We couldn't have asked for more, helped ourselves to the DVD and magazine collection and the WiFi worked great. Breakfast had a wide variety of options each morning and everything was very good. FYI - breakfast is very formal sit down buffet with the inn keepers and other guests each morning with candlelight and china. Good time for meeting new people! Enjoyed tours of the Miller House, ice cream sodas at Zaharakos, and walked the 0.7 miles for pizza and beer at Zwanzig Z Brewery - all in Columbus.

Sermon Illustrations
Hans Finzel, Opening the Book, (Wheaton, IL: Victor Books, 1987), p. 318
Norton Sterret, in How to Understand Your Bible, states very concisely some of the major principles that need to be adhered to when building a theological system from one's own study of the Bible:
1. Base doctrine on the literal statements of the Bible rather than on the figurative portions.
2. Base doctrine on plain statements rather than on obscure ones.
3. Base doctrine on the didactic (teaching) passages rather than on the historical ones.
4. Base doctrine on all the relevant passages, not on just a few.
5. Be sure that each passage is understood through the general principles of interpretation.
6. Be cautious in formulating doctrine by inference.
7. Beware of doctrinal speculation.
8. In forming, holding, and teaching doctrine, emphasize what the Scripture emphasizes.
9. Seek the practical import of the doctrine.

Disclaimer: I bet on 6LoWPAN 🙂
Back to the Future movie was a classic for my childhood. In movie, it was possible to travel past and future. One of the favorites parts for me were the scenes in future. Flying cars were the iconic images in the future.
I believe most of you remember the scenes regarding the flying cars. As a futurist child I strongly believed that flying cars will be part of our daily lives in 2000's.
Well, we are almost in 2015 but still don't see any flying car around the city. Btw I'm still futurist 🙂
Then what's that about Flying Cars or 6LoWPAN title?
Yes we still do not have flying cars to go to work but there are much more exciting technological developments in our age. And my favorites are inventions, products, ideas relevant to Internet of Things concept. I will not tell you again from scratch about Internet of Things. You can find a good article on Wikipedia. Most people believe, data generated using IoT technologies will blow up and technology itself is about to explode by 2020.
In Internet of Things, you will need smart and small devices in the field to generate data about every single environmental details/changes. You may want to smell the air, detect the motions, switch the electric, measure usages etc. There are bunch of scenarios that can be enabled. Having smart and small devices is great for such a purpose but it's also difficult to manage them. They are small therefore have limited power and processing capabilities. Also these devices are increasingly being based on wireless technologies. At the end of the day, to implement a smart system you will need
- Smart and small devices on the field. (sensors)
- Low power (they need to be run for years on a single battery)
- low cost (should be continuously reduce price point)
- based on wireless technologies
These requirements and challenges drove work groups to create a standard that implements low-cost, low-power wireless mesh network specifications. One of them and probably the most popular one is ZigBee. ZigBee standard supports different set of networks including star, tree or mesh topologies. It's great for everyone that wanted to build embedded applications requiring low latency and power consumption. Being first in the field helped ZigBee to be adopted by major players in multiple industries.
ZigBee works by defining a new layer when communicating over 802.15.4 layer. Therefore it can only communicate endpoints that use same protocol.
One another standard is 6LoWPAN stands for "The IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Networks".
Main purpose to create additional standard for wireless communication between these devices was to be able to enable IP based communication between these devices. Therefore these devices will be able to used by Internet of Things projects easily. Protocol uses IEEE 802.15.4 based networks and can be used in intranet or internet traffic since familiar IP based communication is being used by protocol.
(The IEEE 802.15.4 standard is maintained by the IEEE 802.15 working group and defines low-data-rate, low-power, and short-range radio frequency transmissions for wireless personal area networks (WPANs). The working group aims to keep the complexity of the standard and the cost of the necessary hardware low, making it suitable for wireless communication among constrained devices such as sensors and actuators. – See more at: http://www.mdpi.com/2224-2708/2/2/235/htm#sthash.zEq54SQ9.dpuf)
You see on above diagram that every node should have its own IPv6 address.
Main benefit of 6LoWPAN is the ability to communicate directly with other 802.15.4 wireless devices on other IP networks with a single bridge device. People can communicate across the internet without having a conversion process between IP and ZigBee.
Main challenge I see for 6LoWPAN is that we can not implement it easily since it requires knowledge over IPv6 networks.
Major players in industry such as Texas Instruments, Atmel supply 802.15.4 chips that can be used for either ZigBee and 6LoWPAN and I believe having such standards will help use to build and integrate our solutions agile.

Home ... What We Do ... Public Policy and Legal Advocacy ... Issues ... Family Support Issues
Family Support refers to various types of support for caregivers of persons with disabilities. These include counseling, support groups, respite, training, cash assistance, and information and referral. More than 65 million Americans provide care for a loved one who has a disability, is chronically ill, or is elderly and spend an average of 20 hours per week providing care. For caregivers of people with I/DD the levels of responsibility are not only greater, but frequently lifelong. There are approximately 2.9 million family caregivers of persons with I/DD in the U.S. According to The Arc's Family and Individual Needs for Disability Supports (FINDS) survey, most of these family caregivers provide more than 40 hours of care per week (including 40% who provide more than 80 hours of care per week). As our society continues to depend on the active engagement of family caregivers for the support of individuals with I/DD, it is essential to meet the needs of those caregivers to continue providing care in the community instead of more costly and unwanted institutions.
There is no comprehensive federal family support system in the U.S. Instead, some states provide limited family support using state general fund dollars or through Medicaid home and community-based services waivers. There also are a few programs that provide grants to states and communities for family support activities. Each has specific strengths and limitations that are described below. Medicaid Home and Community-Based Waiver programs finance about 68% of all family support services in the United States. Despite this assistance, only 17% of families of persons with I/DD received any financial support. The National Family Caregiver Support Program (FCSP) provides: 1) information to caregivers about available services, 2) assistance to caregivers in gaining access to the services, 3) individual counseling, 4) organization of support groups, and caregiver training, 5) respite care, and 6) supplemental services, on a limited basis. Unfortunately, eligibility is limited and the program is underfunded ($154 million in FY 2012). Parent caregivers of adult children with disabilities (aged 18-59) are not eligible for FCSP services. The Federal Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRC) initiative began in 2003 with three core functions - awareness, assistance, and access. Unfortunately, the ADRC service system is focused on the aging population and not geared to people with I/DD. Of the 1.8 million contacts to ARDCs in 2010, only 3% were for persons with I/DD. ADRC staff lack training and experience working with people with I/DD and services are focused heavily on assisting clients with hospital discharge following an acute care episode. The Lifespan Respite Care Program was created in 2006 to increase the availability and coordination of respite care services for family caregivers of individuals with disabilities, regardless of age. Unfortunately, the Lifespan Respite program has only received $2.5 million per year. The Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (DD Act) also included a provision to provide family support programs. However, line item funding for family supports under the DD Act first began in 2008 and funds totaled just $1.7 million.
Life-long caregiving for individuals with I/DD can have long-term negative economic impacts on families. In addition to sacrificing employment opportunities for their caregiving roles, many families incur significant expenses. In 2009, families spent an average of $6,300 on out-of-pocket family support expenses that were not reimbursed by formal programs.
Respite care is the most frequently requested type of family support. Nearly 50% of family caregivers of persons with I/DD report being dissatisfied with quality of these services, according to The Arc's FINDS survey. Limited training and poor reimbursement rates for respite providers contribute greatly to the problem of limited quality.
There are over 860,000 caregivers of persons with I/DD over the age of 60 and this number is projected to grow substantially with the aging of the baby boom generation. People with I/DD are also living longer. As parents of individuals with I/DD age, they will require more support to be able to attend to their own needs and to continue providing care to their adult children.
Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), ranking member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, and Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), reintroduced the Healthy Families Act (S. 636 and H.R. 1516) in the second week of March. The Arc supports this legislation … Continue reading →

State shows a sharp population divide
By Rick Hampson
Maine's north-south divide became more demographically acute in the last decade as the state's more suburban, affluent and liberal south grew faster and aged more slowly than the poorer, rural, and more conservative northern region.
Census figures released Thursday showed that rustic, far northern Aroostook County � the biggest county in land area in the USA east of the Mississippi River and one that looms so large in the Maine consciousness that it's known simply as "The County" � lost 2.8% of its population. Washington County � classic "Down East" coastal Maine, extending along the Atlantic to the Canadian border � was down 3.2% since 2000.
York County, which extends south to New Hampshire and is a short drive from Massachusetts, gained 5.6%, compared with the state's overall 10-year population growth rate of 4.2%. Neighboring Cumberland County, which includes Maine's largest city, Portland, gained 6% and remained the most populous county.
Even they were overshadowed by growth in Waldo (6.9%) and Penobscot (6.2%) counties, which lie to the south and north, respectively, of Bangor.
Although the population in every county got older � Maine has seen an influx of retirees from southern New England and an exodus of its own young � northern counties got older faster. Aroostook saw its population of residents 18 and older rise to 79.3% from 76.1% � an increase more than twice that of the one in Cumberland, whose percentage of people 18 and over increased 1.4 percentage points.
The state's non-Hispanic white population declined slightly, but Maine remained overwhelmingly white � 94.4%, compared with 96.5% in 2000.
Portland's population rose 3% to 66,194. No. 2 Lewiston, an old mill city that has seen an influx of immigrants, grew 2.5% to 36,592.
Bangor, the third-largest city, grew 5%, to 33,039. Orono, home of the University of Maine, grew 13.7% to 9,112.
John Mahon, a University of Maine business professor, said the north-south population split reflects real regional tensions. "People in the south resent the money that goes north for social services," he said. "But when it's time to go on vacation, they like it as a recreation ground."

Scotland - Unions seek deal on staffing in new swine flu wave
Teaching unions and local authority employers are in talks to reach a deal that could allow teachers to exceed class-size and working-hours limits in the event of a second wave of swine flu.
In return, the teachers' side of the Scottish Negotiating Committee for Teachers (SNCT) is seeking protection and guarantees for staff who have to care for members of their own family, have underlying health problems or are pregnant - conditions that make them more vulnerable to the H1N1 virus.
The first round of negotiations took place this week amid concerns that a handful of authorities were drawing up emergency plans that would allow them to move teachers to other council jobs to keep essential services operating.
Drew Morrice, assistant secretary of the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS), said the SNCT had reached a broad agreement that teachers could not be required to carry out the duties of other staff.
He said the EIS's position was that any redirection of the workforce should be a decision taken at Scottish government level, not by individual councils.
"Only the Government can judge the scale of that kind of emergency," Mr Morrice said.
"If emergency powers are being introduced, it must be the same playing field for everyone."
The talks were prompted by the change in Scottish national policy on how to handle another serious outbreak of H1N1. KM.

Life, Work and Learning (Routledge International Studies in the Philosophy of Education)
In both paid and unpaid work contexts adults learn powerfully from their experiences. In this book, the authors argue that this should be the basis for a new perception of what is truly educational in life. Drawing on the works of Aristotle, Wittgenstein and Russell, along with contemporary conceptual work, they use both philosophical argument and empirical example to establish their view.This work will be of essential interest to philosophers of education and educational theorists worldwide. It will also interest teachers, trainers, facilitators, and all those with an interest in adult and vocational education.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 65136
ATI Rage 128 (all) lockup when switching from console to X with DRI enabled.
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:42:39 EDT
Description of Problem:
If I switch out of X to a console virtual terminal and then switch back into X,
the X server will hang. The caps lock key doesn't work and there's a band of
damaged pixels across the top of the screen.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat 7.3.
How Reproducible:
Every time.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch out of X to another virtual console.
2. Switch back to X.
Actual Results:
X hangs.
Expected Results:
X works.
Additional Information:
I see this when I unsuspend the laptop as well with the same symptoms. This is
a Dell Laptop, a C600.
Here's the output from lspci:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x
(rev 02)
By the way, this may or may not be related, my desktop machine has the exact
same behaviour. It's a:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon 7500 QW
I have the same problem on a Dell Optiplex GX240, lspci:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 (Geforce2 GTS) (rev
a 4)
I have the same problem with the following card (quoted from /proc/pci):
VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev
Not only virtual console switching doesn't work but neither gtv nor noatun nor
plaympeg are able to play MPEG files correctly. I get can an image but it's
Now, in trying to fix the problem I discovered that if I don't load the DRI
driver in XFree86 (comment out the Load "dri" line), both the mpeg and
switching problems go away.
None of this happened with RedHat 7.2.
I have this problem on Compaq Presario EA2700 with ATI Radeon (I can't check
the exact specs right now - if you need it drop me an email and I'll check it
next week).
It doesn't happen on an old Pentium MMX SMP with Matrox Millenium (VGA
compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 2064W [Millennium] (rev 1)).
Both machines are fully updated RedHat 7.3 and the problem didn't exist for
RedHat 7.2.
I had this problem on Dell C800, until I complied and started to use 1400x1050
resolution. It worked like a charm.
I have the same problem but only occasionally. When it does happen the
system is completely frozen and has to be reset. The video card
identifies (via lspci) as ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF.
The Radeon problem is also listed as a master bug for duping against:
This is a "me too" bug report. Dell Dimension 4300S ATI Rage 128 Ultra 32M.
The Radeon VTswitch bugfix is reported as working. I'm going to dupe
all similar open rage 128 bugs to this one now, and whip up a similar
bugfix for testing.
Stay tuned, don't change that dial.
*** Bug 62442 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This bug is now the master bug for duping similar problems against.
Bug #45624 is similar, and might be fixed by the patch for this bug also.
Bug #54625 also seems similar to this one and likely the same bug, or
at least fixed by the same fix.
*** Bug 62474 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Ok, XFree86 4.2.0-57 in rawhide will contain the bugfix attempt for this.
A bug fixed driver module is available at the following URL:
Please drop this driver overtop of your existing XFree86 4.2.0 r128 driver
in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o and restart XFree86.
Make sure DRI is enabled in your config file, or this patch does nothing.
Now VTswitch like a crazy madman back and forth. Pound the crap out
of it.
Let me know if this solves the problem for you ASAP.
The new driver in rawhide is reported now by many people as
resolving the problem. (blizzard reported it working via IRC as well)
An errata has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report.
This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information
on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen
this bug report if the solution does not work for you.

I felt a new emotion while watching this: sympathy for Brian Mulroney. I didn't mind so much that Dan Redican's script treats our former prime minister as an egotistical clown - editorial cartoonists did as much, or worse - but for Alexina Louie to give so colourful a man nothing memorable or interesting to sing seems too cruel.
Mulroney: The Opera is really a musical with operatic in-jokes. There are bits written in a buoyant jazzy idiom, and a big pop waltz à la Carousel. A shopping trip by Mila Mulroney (sung by soprano Zorana Sadiq) is set to a grinding blues. All these capers are quite far from the kind of finely coloured, impressionistic music Louie usually writes. She's slumming, and you can feel it, especially when she drags in a drum kit. She has a ghastly knack for making backbeats sounds cheesy - I'm talking Sunday-dance-in-the-church-hall cheesy.
Most musicals live or die by good tunes, and there are a few in Mulroney. Unfortunately, they've all been repurposed from operas by the likes of Mozart, Bizet and Puccini. Mulroney (baritone Daniel Okulitch) gets bits with new words from The Flying Dutchman, Pierre Trudeau (tenor Lawrence Wiliford) bumps through a retexted number from Carmen, and former Tory cabinet minister Suzanne Blais-Grenier (soprano Shannon Mercer) sings of her shopping binges to a tune from La Bohème. A Gucci-mad minister copping music from people who burn their ragged clothes to stay warm is as witty as this show ever gets. Much of Mulroney is a very long exercise in forced humour.
Louie's own melodic resources are desperately thin in this piece, maybe because she's not working in her own voice. Think of Michael Ondaatje trying to write a book in the style of Dan Brown. The Da Vinci Code is bad enough, but Ondaatje trying to rip off The Da Vinci Code would be unspeakable. Redican doesn't help: Imagine trying to find compelling music for a line such as "I have the chin, I'm going to win!" Faced with such prose, Louie revs the accompaniment into hectic busywork, and gives Okulitch a hectoring dull melody.
Okulitch has a handsome big baritone, but he doesn't show much variety of tone, volume or expression. It's full-on most of the time, beating you about the ears the way Redican's PM goes on and on about his unimaginable greatness. But with no light or shade in the character, and not much subtlety in the music, the singer has nowhere to go. Louie had a great chance to give him a number with real dramatic substance, as Mulroney ponders his vanishing popularity. But after a weak introspective opening, the music segues abruptly into a perky Meech Lake chorus with leering saxophones.
The show ends as Mulroney, out of power, sings a travesty of Dido's lament, with the saddest backbeats of all, and takes final refuge in a last allusion to The Flying Dutchman. With any luck, this lavishly filmed farce with music will take another cue from Wagner's tormented sailor and disappear for a very long time.
Mulroney: The Opera will be shown in 72 cinemas across the country on Saturday at 1 p.m. (all times local) and on April 27 at 7 p.m. (mulroneytheopera.ca).

Special Report
Managerial hopeful Pena misses out this time
By Seth Livingstone, USA TODAY Baseball Weekly
KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) It's probably just a matter
of time being in the right place at the right time until Tony
Pena becomes a big-league manager.
Pena, who managed Houston's Triple-A affiliate at New
Orleans to an 82-57 mark and the Pacific Coast League title last year, was under
consideration not only for the big-league job in Houston, but positions in Minnesota
and Boston. Ultimately, the Astros opted for a manager with nearly a decade
of major league experience, the Twins stayed in-house and the Red Sox went with
a manager they knew.
Pena, 44, ended up as Jimy Williams' bench coach in Houston
and said he has no regrets about how things played out.
"I went to Minnesota. I talked to (Terry) Ryan and that
went great," Pena said. "Then I come down to Houston to interview and that was
great too. We just had a great time. I love to chat about baseball, and I did
not take any of those interviews as an 'interview.' I just took them as baseball
conversations with people who know the game."
Was he disappointed how things turned out?
"Oh, no, I was not disappointed at all," said Pena, his
grin growing wider beneath his jet-black mustache. "In baseball you have to
have patience."
Houston general manager Gerry Hunsicker said the Astros
would have granted the Red Sox permission to talk to Pena if they indicated
to him that they were serious about making him their manager. That indication
never came.
"Tony Pena definitely has the attributes for being a major
league manager," Hunsicker said. "He worked very hard at perfecting his managerial
skills with his stint at New Orleans. It's only going to enhance his r�sum�
working under somebody like Jimy Williams. There's no question in my mind his
day will come and he will manage a major league team."
"I have patience," Pena said. "I know I'm ready to do the
job. Sometimes things change when time goes by and whenever you think you lose,
you win. I know I'm going to learn a lot from Jimy. Like I tell him: 'I'm
going to keep following your footprints. Everywhere you go, I'm going to be
behind you.'
"I'm going to learn everything, pick up a lot of tricks
like I did from managers like Whitey (Herzog), Chuck (Tanner) and (Jim) Leyland."

Is it even worth debating how bad the Eastern Conference is? They made one team good and that is the Boston Celtics, and we know the Pistons are always a great team. Here's an interesting statistic:
If the season were to end today, the Eastern Conference would have 5 teams over .500. That would mean 3 teams would make the playoffs with an under .500 record. That's pathetic, no team that has more losses than wins should ever be granted the 6th friggin seed in the NBA Playoffs.
Over in the Western Conference, they have 9 teams playing .600 basketball, and only Portland playing over .500 but under .600. They have 9 teams playing .600 basketball, meaning that if the season were to end today, the Golden State Warriors, a record of 33-21, .611 percentage, would miss the playoffs. That's unbelievable. Don't believe me? Look at the playoff standings as of today.
Eastern Conference
1. Boston Celtics (41-11)
2. Detroit Pistons (39-15)
3. Orlando Magic (34-22)
4. Toronto Raptors (29-23)
5. Cleveland Cavaliers (30-24)
6. Washington Wizards (25-28)
7. New Jersey Nets (24-30)
8. Philadelphia 76ers (24-31)
9. Atlanta Hawks (21-30)
10. Chicago Bulls (21-32)
Western Conference
1. New Orleans Hornets (37-15)
2. Los Angeles Lakers (37-17)
3. Utah Jazz (35-19)
4. Phoenix Suns (37-17)
5. San Antonio Spurs (35-17)
6. Dallas Mavericks (35-19)
7. Denver Nuggets (33-20)
8. Houston Rockets (33-20)
9. Golden State Warriors (33-21)
10. Portland Trailblazers (28-25)
You can be 12 games over .500 in the Western Conference and miss the playoffs. You can be 7 games under .500 and make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. That's horrible. Let's see what happens if we make the NBA a single table league and the top 16 teams qualify no matter what conference.
