Monticello July 4.
My Dearest pamcakes08854,
Eight o'clock, and returned to my fireside, as I grew weary of my volume of the Antiquités d'Herculaneum, I have determined to enter into conversation with you. That I have not sooner made this formal acknowledgement than after two days had passed since my unrequited "wink" has not proceeded, I assure you, from want of attention from yourself, but the strong and incessant calls of duty to other objects: namely, the creation of democracy.
How ferrile is the mind of a Woman who can make Anchorman yield interesting anecdotes! I perceive, in your "About Me" testimony generally, and especially in the claim that "I am a careing person who values FAMILY and FREINDS", signs of a most favorable & goodhumoured disposition, & of a temperament most fair. To wit, I, too, "rock the boat but sometimes flow with the tide." Candor obliges me to add that your enthusiasms, namely Shopping/Antiques, Jet/Water Skiing, Horseback Riding, and Wine Tasting are only too well known of me, particularly the last two avocations; many an afternoon have I cavorted on horseback through my native vineyards, home to the European wine grape Vitis vinifera, before partaking of my own ancillary caprices: these being, among others, the divers pursuits of anatomy, philosophy, mineralogy, Oratory, Rhetoric, belles lettres, horticulture, political economy, and mathematics.
I am sincerely rejoiced, furthermore, to learn that you "had a freakin blast at UVA!", an institution in which I have hitherto maintained a personal stake; your avowed mastery there of the modern language of Spanish, serves, verily, to impress favorably upon this member of the rougher sex, and recalls to his mind remembrances, latterly, of his own minor equivalence in this dialect, in addition to those of Latin, Greek and Hebrew languages; French, Italian, German and Anglo-Saxon, among several others.
Pardon my remissness, but do me the favor of telling me: what is the nature of your present employment as intern at Bloomingdale's? With respect to my own professional occupations, I have served, sometime ago, as architect, archeologist, paleontologist, author and inventor, and as a version of statesmen, mainly at Washington, where I humbly assisted in the composition of several documents (it is hard to be modest in these forums). lol
On the topic of politicks, do tell me, are your views yea or nay on the matter of abolishing primogeniture?
In all honesty, I hesitated whether to make this approach, knowing you may consider me too many years your senior, but soon becoming sensible that you are too handsome not to be desired, that tho we cannot appeal to all we can yet appeal to some, and that the law of our existence requires multiplication, I endeavored, in the name of Providence, to essaie; and whilst it is early for such proclamations, I say that tho' the leading principle of our Constitution is the Independence of the Legislate, executive and judiciary of each other, the likes of us both cannot be so easily separated: and were it so, would I rather, as you citation amongst your Dislikes, "eat beans (yuck!) or talk to mean people."
Let me state once and for all, in fine, that never was a mortal more tired of "games" than am I; accept yourself assurances I am "not like other boneheads," nor am I, for that matter, presently engaged in matrimony with any living being, or fostering relations with any member of my housestaff, of any nationality.
Also, you have a nice ass.
If some circumstances may gather you to my company I assure you it will be worthwhile; in specific, I have in contemplation to arrange a dinner three weeks hence at my estate in Monticello, Virginia, the location of which remains well within your desired Relationship Range of 100-500 miles of Piscataway, NJ. There may we partake of fair strawberries and cherries, plums and gooseberries, and other sundry ways to shew our affection.
But enough of this: it is more than I have before committed on paper to woo a lady. In coming days (not weeks, I plead) I intend to hear from you thro' means of said epistolary conveyance, and failing that, on AIM (jefferz69), Skype (ditto), or Twitter.
At this time, I do not own a digital camera so please excuse the lack of photos.
Adieu, my dear. Let heavens bless you and ensure your happiness, & receive me into your own recollection with a partiality & an esteem with which I have the honour to be, my dearest pamcakes, your most obedient humble servant

The owner of the Hobby Lobby chain of stores professes that providing contraceptive health care coverage to his employees is against his religious beliefs ("'Hobby Lobby' case creates 2 unexpected allies," op-ed column, March 27). He hides behind religious tenets when it is financially advantageous to the bottom line, but does not stand up for those beliefs when he buys products for resale.
Many of Hobby Lobby's products come from a country that consistently advocates birth control. China has dictated to its citizens the number of children allowed in each family. China also employs children in the work force and has a record of industrial espionage.
It is time for Hobby Lobby to walk the walk instead of just talking. If it is serious about its religious beliefs, then it should throw out the money changers — a Biblical reference to greed and indulgence peddlers — and live its beliefs.
Abortion no help to poor women
Your March 26 editorial "Danger and desperation" asserted that abortion rights should become a significant issue in the next election. At Ohio Right to Life, we agree, and echo the empathy that your editorial attempts to convey for the poor.
Nevertheless, your editorial exudes hypocrisy. In attempting to defend poor women, you also advance their likelihood to have an abortion.
The idea that abortion helps a poor woman is heartless. Rather than helping a woman become a self-sufficient mother who makes moral, nonviolent choices, the abortion industry and its advocates tell her simply to kill her child.
Poor women already have a disproportionate number of abortions. Women who live below the federal poverty line make up 14.5 percent of American women — but 40 percent of abortions are performed on them, according to Planned Parenthood's research arm, the Guttmacher Institute.
America is no longer conducting a war on poverty, but is instead waging a discriminatory war on the poor, with abortion the primary weapon.
Your editorial attempted to highlight what you call the hypocrisy of small-government, pro-life Republicans. But the whole premise of the small-government philosophy is that government's only legitimate purpose is to defend our basic freedoms — life, liberty, and happiness — against violence.
The real ideological fringe consists of pro-choice extremists who reject standards for abortion clinics, ignoring the fact that Center for Choice in Toledo shut down after health inspectors determined it violated health and safety standards with rusty and moldy equipment.
If Ohio backtracks and exposes our children to the brutality of the pro-choice, pro-discrimination philosophy, then we will face the danger and desperation of people who ignore science and reject morality in a world that uses force to accomplish its goals.

What's up with gasoline prices?
Why do gasoline prices go up and down like a yo-yo, but mostly up? It seems that even when oil sells for less than $100 a barrel, the per-gallon cost of gas rises.

I think adding the option to route audio to multiple places such as speakers and Soundflower 2ch would be very helpful. It would be a very convenient option to add. It would allow you to record something (such as a video game) with software such as Quicktime 7 with audio and video while hearing the game audio through your speakers/headphones. So if you could make the places where you route the audio into a checklist that would be wonderful. If you come up with another way to do this or there is already a way, feel free to inform me.
Doesn't do exactly what you specify but you can route audio through Audio hijack, it allows you to record and monitor any audio source simultaneously. http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijack/

Region 5 News Release: 06-1056-CHI
Sept. 13, 2006

Phone: (312)353-6976
PEORIA, Ill. -- Providing enhanced workplace safety for workers is the goal of a new partnership signed between the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Greater Peoria Contractors and Suppliers Association.
"This agreement provides an opportunity for the partners to come together and build on the value of safety and health for construction workers throughout the greater Peoria area," said George Yoksas, OSHA's acting area director in Peoria. "We are confident the cooperative effort will help reduce injuries and fatalities."
OSHA Strategic Partnerships for Worker Safety and Health are part of U.S. Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao�s ongoing efforts to improve the health and safety of workers through cooperative relationships with trade associations, labor organizations and employers. OSHA's area office in Peoria is working on the formation of this partnership.
The primary goal of the partnership is to aid local contractors in remaining below the national average for injuries and illnesses in their industry. A key feature is the development of a multi-step program leading to the achievement of silver and gold level status for outstanding employers in workplace safety and health.
Employers and employees with questions about this or other OSHA partnerships may call the Peoria area office at (309) 589-7033 or visit OSHA's Web site for more information at www.osha.gov. Click on "Cooperative Programs."
Since its Strategic Partnership Program began in 1998, the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has formed more than 300 partnerships impacting over 13,000 employers and 573,000 employees across the United States. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships, and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health.
U.S. Labor Department (DOL) releases are accessible on the Internet at www.dol.gov. The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format upon request (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office.

LightSpace Takes Surface Computing into the New Realm of Spatial Computing
October 4, 2010
Andy Wilson and Hrvoje Benko
Microsoft Research
Andy Wilson, senior researcher and Hrvoje Benko, researcher, both from Microsoft Research explain their LightSpace research project.
LightSpace combines elements of surface computing and augmented reality research to create a highly interactive space where any surface, and even the space between surfaces, is fully interactive. Our concept transforms the ideas of surface computing into the new realm of spatial computing.
Instrumented with multiple depth cameras and projectors, LightSpace is a small room installation designed to explore a variety of interactions and computational strategies related to interactive displays and the space that they inhabit. LightSpace cameras and projectors are calibrated to 3D real world coordinates, allowing for projection of graphics correctly onto any surface visible by both camera and projector. Selective projection of the depth camera data enables emulation of interactive displays on un-instrumented surfaces (such as a standard table or office desk), as well as facilitates mid-air interactions between and around these displays. For example, after performing multi-touch interactions on a virtual object on the tabletop, the user may transfer the object to another display by simultaneously touching the object and the destination display. Or the user may "pick up" the object by sweeping it into their hand, see it sitting in their hand as they walk over to an interactive wall display, and "drop" the object onto the wall by touching it with their other hand.

I love Kate Messner and I love this series! Manhunt is the third book, following Capture the Flag and Hide and Seek and I think it's the best one yet. This time around, the young members of the super secret Silver Jaguar Society are tasked with finding the stolen Mona Lisa painting, which takes them all over Paris.
The setting was well-described and appropriately detailed for the desired age group. Lots of cool Parisian landmarks were used in the plot and it definitely made me want to take a trip. I can't imagine reading this and not wanting to hop on a jet plane to that city!
The characters were complex, diverse (#weneeddiversebooks) and realistic making for great detectives that kids are going to love reading about. Hopefully, when they've finished the story, they'll want to look up more cool facts about Paris. I love when fiction encourages non-fiction research.
If this is your first Kate Messner book, definitely check out her others.
Thanks to Scholastic for the review copy!

Of the value of short and silent prayer.
WHEREFORE we ought to pray often but briefly, lest if we are long about it our crafty foe may succeed in implanting something in our heart. For that is the true sacrifice, as "the sacrifice of God is a broken spirit." This is the salutary offering, these are pure drink offerings, that is the "sacrifice of righteousness," the "sacrifice of praise," these are true and fat victims, "holocausts full of marrow," which are offered by contrite and humble hearts, and which those who practise this control and fervour of spirit, of which we have spoken, with effectual power can sing: "Let my prayer be set forth in Thy sight as the incense: let the lifting up of my hands be an evening sacrifice."577577 Ps. 50 (51):19, 21; 49 (50):23; 65 (66):15; 140 (141):2. But the approach of the right hour and of night warns us that we ought with fitting devotion to do this very thing, of which, as our slender ability allowed, we seem to have propounded a great deal, and to have prolonged our conference considerably, though we believe that we have discoursed very little when the magnificence and difficulty of the subject are taken into account.
With these words of the holy Isaac we were dazzled rather than satisfied, and after evening service had been held, rested our limbs for a short time, and intending at the first dawn again to return under promise of a fuller discussion departed, rejoicing over the acquisition of these precepts as well as over the assurance of his promises. Since we felt that though the excellence of prayer had been shown to us, still we had not yet understood from his discourse its nature, and the power by which continuance in it might be gained and kept.

Why I can not see number columns from my database ?
I have an article database in excel. I import excel into an access table and use it in my java program.
There are some string columns and 2 number columns in the excel file (issueNumber and year columns)
After I import into access, I can see those numebr columns appear in the database.
->But I can not assign those number columns as integer during importing, if so does not import.
When I made a query in java throught JDBC, the number columns (issueNumber and year) comes EMPTY, no records seen et al.Only column names seen.
Anyone face to this problem before ? What can I do to see database in a proper way ?

Feature History
This feature module describes the VLAN Range feature.
This document includes the following sections:
•Supported Standards, MIBs, and RFCs
Feature Overview
Using the VLAN Range feature, you can group VLAN subinterfaces together so that any command entered in a group applies to every subinterface within the group. This simplifies configurations and reduces command parsing.
The VLAN Range feature provides the following benefits:
•Identical commands can be entered once for a range of subinterfaces, rather than being entered separately for each subinterface.
•Overlapping ranges of subinterfaces can be configured.
•Individual subinterfaces within a range can be customized or deleted.
•Each command you enter while you are in interface configuration mode with the interface range command is executed as it is entered. The commands are not batched together for execution after you exit interface configuration mode. If you exit interface configuration mode while the commands are being executed, some commands may not be executed on some interfaces in the range. Wait until the command prompt reappears before exiting interface configuration mode.
•The no interface range command is not supported. You must delete individual subinterfaces to delete a range.

•Single Range Configuration Example
Single Range Configuration Example
The following example configures the Fast Ethernet subinterfaces within the range 5/1.1 and 5/1.4 and applies the following VLAN IDs to those subinterfaces:
Fast Ethernet5/1.1 = VLAN ID 301 (vlan-id)
Fast Ethernet5/1.2 = VLAN ID 302 (vlan-id=301 + 2 - 1=302)
Fast Ethernet5/1.3 = VLAN ID 303 (vlan-id=301 + 3 - 1=303)
Fast Ethernet5/1.4 = VLAN ID 304 (vlan-id=301 + 4 - 1=304)

This section documents modified commands. All other commands used with this feature are documented in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2 command reference publications.
interface range
Use the interface range command in global configuration mode to execute commands on multiple subinterfaces at the same time.
interface range {{ethernet | fastethernet | gigabitethernet | atm} slot/interface.subinterface - {{ethernet | fastethernet | gigabitethernet | atm}slot/interface.subinterface}
Syntax Description
No default values or behaviors.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Release Modification 12.0(7)XE
This command was introduced.
Support for this command was extended to the T train.
This command was expanded to support subinterface ranges.
Usage Guidelines
Subinterfaces specified by the interface range command are grouped into a configurable subinterface group. Subinterfaces specified by the interface range command, which have not been previously created, are created by the interface range command.
The no interface range command is not supported. You must delete individual subinterfaces to delete a range.
The commands entered under the interface range command are applied to all existing VLANs.
All configuration changes made to a range of subinterfaces are saved to NVRAM, but the range itself does not get saved to NVRAM. Use the define interface-range command to create and save a range.
When you define a VLAN range, valid values are from 1 to 4095. The last VLAN number cannot exceed 4095.
This example shows how to use the interface range command to configure a subinterface range:
interface range ethernet1/0.11 - ethernet1/0.60Router(config-int-range)#
encapsulation dot1q
To enable IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation of traffic on a specified subinterface in a VLAN, use the encapsulation dot1q command in interface range mode.
encapsulation dot1q vlan-id [native]
Syntax Description
Virtual LAN identifier. The allowed range is from 1 to 4095.
(Optional) Sets the port VLAN ID value of the port to the vlan-id value.
No default values or behaviors.
Command Modes
Interface range
Command History
Release Modification 12.0(1)T
This command was introduced.
The native keyword was added
Configuration of this command in interface range mode was introduced.
Usage Guidelines
IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation is configurable on Fast Ethernet interfaces. IEEE 802.1Q is a standard protocol for interconnecting multiple switches and routers and for defining VLAN topologies.
Use the encapsulation dot1q command in interface range mode to apply a VLAN ID to each subinterface within the range specified by the interface range command. The VLAN ID specified by the vlan-id argument is applied to the first subinterface in the range. Each subsequent interface is assigned a VLAN ID which is the specified vlan-id plus the subinterface number minus the first subinterface number (VLAN ID + subinterface number - first subinterface number).
Do not configure encapsulation on the native VLAN of an IEEE 802.1Q trunk without the native keyword. (Always use the native keyword when vlan-id is the ID of the IEEE 802.1Q native VLAN.)
The following example creates the subinterfaces within the range 0.11 and 0.60 and applies VLAN ID 101 to the Fast Ethernet0/0.11 subinterface, VLAN ID 102 to Fast Ethernet0/0.12 (vlan-id=101 + 12 - 11=102) and so on up to VLAN ID 150 to Fast Ethernet0/0.60(vlan-id=101 + 60 - 11=150):

Theory of religionTheory of Religion brings to philosophy what Bataille's earlier book, The Accursed Share, brought to anthropology and history; namely, an analysis based on notions of excess and expenditure. Bataille brilliantly defines religion as so many different attempts to respond to the universe's relentless generosity. Framed within his original theory of generalized economics and based on his masterly reading of archaic religious activity, Theory of Religion constitutes, along with The Accursed Share, the most important articulation of Bataille's work. Georges Bataille (1897-1962), founder of the French review Critique, wrote fiction and essays on a wide range of topics. His books in English translation include Story of the Eye, Blue of Noon, Literature and Evil, Manet and Erotism. Robert Hurley is the translator of The History of Sexuality by Michel Foucault and cotranslator of Anti Oedipus by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. Distributed for Zone Books. |

Yen Tumbling 9% Splits Top Forecasters From Futures: Currencies
John Detrixhe and David GoodmanThe most accurate foreign-exchange forecasters expect the yen to fall about 9 percent this year to levels not seen since 2008, putting them in opposition to futures traders who are paring bets on a decline.
Norddeutsche Landesbank, Macquarie Bank Ltd. and Banco Santander SA, which are all calling for Japan's currency to tumble to 110 per dollar by year-end from 101.09 as of 12:36 p.m. New York time, were among the five top-ranked forecasters last quarter, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of 74 banks, investors and brokers is a less-bearish 105 level.
After the yen's more than 20 percent depreciation since September, futures traders are seeing less scope for similar declines without more evidence that Japan will be able to boost its economy while eradicating deflation with stimulus measures that tend to debase one's currency. For the strategists, the Asian nation is already generating evidence of success.
Japan "is getting closer to inflation and not deflation," Stefan Grosse, an economist at NordLB, the No. 1 forecaster, said in a July 3 phone interview from Hanover, Germany. "The key is that the U.S. will exit their quantitative easing."
100 Threshold
The yen weakened beyond the 100 per dollar threshold this year for the first time since 2009 as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda implemented an unprecedented bond-buying program to help combat years of deflation. At the same time, the Federal Reserve is signaling that it's prepared to reduce its quantitative-easing measures.
"When a central bank is printing money, the canvas on which we paint our forecast would be one of currency weakness," Stuart Bennett, the head of Group of 10 currency strategy in London at Banco Santander, the No. 4 forecaster, said in a July 3 phone interview. "Bearing in mind the Bank of Japan's plan is to double its balance sheet, they would probably want it to continue to weaken, but maybe at a gradual rate which doesn't frighten its peers."
Japan's currency has weakened 9.1 percent this year, the worst performer among 10 developed-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes. It has gained 2.5 percent since sliding to an almost five-year low of 103.74 per dollar on May 22. It last depreciated to less than 110 on Aug. 25, 2008.
Favorite Trade
After NordLB, a 200-year-old, state-owned lender, Canada's Bank of Montreal and Macquarie Bank were the second- and third-most accurate currency forecasters in the Bloomberg Rankings survey for the second quarter. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce came in fifth, after Banco Santander.
Betting on a weaker yen has been a favorite trade for hedge funds. The difference in the number of wagers by hedge funds and other large speculators on a decline in the yen compared with those on a gain increased to 99,769 contracts on May 31, the most bearish level since July 2007, figures from the Washington-based Commodity Futures Trading Commission show.
So-called net shorts have since been reduced to 61,462 contracts on June 25, the least since Feb. 12, after the yen strengthened to as much as 93.79 per dollar on June 13. Bets against the yen rose to 70,736 as of July 2.
'Third Arrow'
Paul Tudor Jones, who runs the macro hedge fund Tudor Global BVI, which rose 9.5 percent this year through June 7, has told investors the yen may not depreciate much further, according to his clients. His Tudor Investment Corp., based in Greenwich, Connecticut, oversees about $13.5 billion.
Further weakness in Japan's currency may depend on whether investors find Abe's legislative growth strategy, known as the "third arrow" after monetary and fiscal stimulus, to be credible. The reforms, which may be presented later this year, include deregulation of the health, energy and infrastructure sectors.
"Abe will quickly implement" the reforms, NordLB's Grosse wrote in an e-mail on July 2. The increasing difference in yields between Treasuries and Japanese government bonds "will help to depreciate the yen further as will the better shape of the American economy," he wrote.
Yields on 10-year Treasuries reached 1.88 percentage point more than similar-maturity Japanese government bonds on July 5, the most since July 2011, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Yen Weakness
"The macro dynamic and monetary policy dynamic are still suggesting yen weakness is the game to be playing," Sacha Tihanyi, a currency strategist at Scotiabank in Hong Kong, said today in a Bloomberg Television interview. "We're still looking for 105 by the end of this year," Tihanyi said in reference to the dollar-yen exchange rate.
Under Kuroda, the BOJ is rolling out unprecedented monetary easing to halt more than a decade of deflation, measures that weakened the yen and helped make Japan the best-performing major stock market this year.
At his first policy meeting in April, the governor pledged to double monthly bond purchases to about 7 trillion yen ($69 billion), focused mainly on longer-maturity government debt. The stimulus program under his predecessor, Masaaki Shirakawa, who stepped down in March, focused on notes maturing in one to three years.
Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said June 19 the U.S. central bank may start dialing down QE this year and end it entirely in mid-2014 if the economy achieves what it considers to be sustainable growth. The Fed is buying $85 billion of Treasuries and mortgage bonds a month.
Currency Scores
The best forecasters were identified by averaging the individual scores on margin of error, timing and directional accuracy across 13 currency pairs in the four quarters ended June 30. Forecasters had to be ranked in at least 8 of the 13 pairs to qualify for the overall ranking. Forty-five companies qualified.
NordLB had a score of 62.6, while Bank of Montreal's BMO Capital Markets unit posted a 62.32, followed by Macquarie's 61.7, Banco Santander's 60.02 and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's 57.37. BMO sees the yen at 105 per dollar by year-end, while CIBC has a forecast of 102.
The top yen forecaster was Germany's Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg, which predicted a drop to 105 per dollar by year-end, Bloomberg data show. Faster inflation will drive Japanese investors into other countries' bonds, according to Matthias Krieger, a Stuttgart, Germany-based senior economist at LBBW.
"A lot of Japanese investors will shift their portfolios from JGBs to foreign-currency denominated bonds and this should weaken the yen," Krieger said July 3 in a phone interview. "If the world economy should stabilize, and that's our forecast, then Japan should overcome deflation and this would happen even without the new policies of the Shinzo Abe government."

In most networks, a significant cause of downtime is planned maintenance and software upgrades. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router offers In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) capabilities to allow a user to upgrade Cisco IOS XE Software while the system remains in service. This in service upgrade dramatically reduces downtime due to planned software upgrades and thereby increases service availability. (Note: One of the key original and ongoing design principles with the Cisco ASR 1000 is the criticality of ISSU and high availability.)
This white paper details the In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) capabilities of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers. This paper further examines the WAN Edge design and deployment options that can be employed to minimize service interruption during an in service upgrade or downgrade. This paper will step through these options with particular reference to a typical WAN aggregation topology illustrated in figure 1.
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Software and ISSU Introduction
• The Cisco ASR 1002 Router is a 3-SPA, 2-rack-unit (RU) chassis with one Embedded Services Processor (ESP) slot that comes with an integrated Router Processor (RP), integrated Cisco ASR 1000 Series Shared Port Adapter Interface Processor (SIP), and integrated four Gigabit Ethernet ports.
• The Cisco ASR 1004 Router is an 8-SPA, 4-RU chassis with one ESP slot, one RP slot, and two SIP slots.
• The Cisco ASR 1006 Router is a 12-SPA, 6-RU, hardware redundant chassis with two ESP slots, two RP slots and three SIP slots.
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Software ISSU Architecture
Table 1. This Table Details the Effect of Each Package Upgrade
ISSU Upgrade Procedures for Cisco ASR 1006 with dual RPs and ESPs-sub-package
Note: Utilizing Gigabit Ether Channel (GEC) or other mechanisms allow interface level redundancy. Specifically, arranging SPAs so that they reside in separate SIPs allows traffic to flow uninterrupted during the installation of the SIPBase and SIPSPA sub-packages and subsequent restart of the SIPs. This is further discussed in the case study below
ISSU Upgrade Procedure Steps
1. Install all sub-packages on the standby RP
a. Using the IOS ISSU command "issu loadversion rp 1 file stby-bootflash:asr1000rp*02.02.01.122-33.XNB1.pkg" to provision the software on the standby slot. The `force' option may be needed
2. Use the "hw-module slot r1 reload" command to reload the standby RP
3. Wait for the standby RP to reload and the system reach SSO ready state
4. On the active RP install the SIPBase and SIPSPA sub-packages on each SIP
The following steps describe how to perform the installation on a per-slot basis. The `slot' argument may be omitted to install all SIPs and SPAs in one step. As a SIP is upgraded, it resets. This installation phase upgrades the SIPs+SPAs on the active RP and takes effect immediately. The standby RP has already been fully provisioned with the new version and reloaded.
a. If performing a slot-by-slot installation, repeat the above steps for all present SIPs updating the "slot" parameter for each. Again, note that the provisioning is being performed on the active RP.
5. Install the ESP sub-package on the ESPs
The ESPs may be installed individually or manually, per slot. It is recommended that the installation be performed manually for maximum control. This installation phase upgrades the ESPs on the active RP and takes effect immediately. The standby RP has already been fully provisioned with the new version and reloaded. In the steps below, F0 is assume to be the active ESP and F1 is assumed to be the standby ESP
6. Install the RPBase sub-package and all remaining sub-packages. The RPBase sub-package, which will be matched by the command below, will automatically set the on-reboot flag but it may be specified manually. This step will not take effect until the next reload. BY using a wildcard pattern, we help ensure that any and all sub-packages that have not been provisioned, including SIP slots other than those manually upgraded, are set to use the new software. This is an important step. Use "file bootflash:asr1000rp*02.02.01.122-33.XNB1.pkg" to provision the software. The `force' option maybe needed. The `on-reboot' flag is set automatically.
7. Use the "redundancy force-switchover" command to perform an RP switchover and trigger a reload of R0

Audio (listen-only): 917-367-4618
Video live-stream: http://webtv.un.org/media/
The media briefing will focus on actions needed to fill the $36 trillion clean energy investment gap in order to limit the impacts of global warming and reduce the threat of carbon asset risk to major oil and gas, coal and electric utilities. Bloomberg New Energy Finance will also announce its 2013 global clean energy investment data.
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary
Bloomberg New Energy Finance, Michael Liebreich, President
New York State Comptroller, Thomas P. DiNapoli
Ceres, Mindy Lubber, President
An additional $1 trillion per year must be invested in clean energy through 2050 in order to achieve the global goal of reducing emissions enough to limit climate change to 2 degrees Celsius. In 2012, however, global investment in clean energy was just $281 billion – far short of what is needed. Investors and other financial leaders are uniquely positioned to lead the way in closing the clean energy investment gap, and continue to seek actionable opportunities to invest profitably in climate and clean energy solutions. Discussions throughout the day will focus on innovations in financing mechanisms for scaling climate and energy solutions; and the business case for supporting comprehensive climate and energy policies around the world.

Global Leadership Academy
The immense challenges we face as a global community require a fundamental shift in our thinking. This applies especially to those in positions of leadership who are called on to identify and implement effective, sustainable solutions to complex problems. These leaders make vital decisions and point the way to the future, so they need to consider their standpoints carefully and responsibly.
In today's environment, the key to effective solutions lies in outstanding innovatory and leadership skills. Decision-makers around the world must be ready to jettison conventional ways of thinking and create space for new ways of doing things. They must be able to think globally and be willing to bring about positive change within their own area of influence.
The Global Leadership Academy's interdisciplinary and practice-oriented offerings are aimed at improving the innovative capacity and leadership skills of decision-makers from the fields of policy-making, business, higher education and research, and civil society, who come together to look at global issues from a completely different angle. Gaining fresh perspectives allows them to implement the necessary change processes in their spheres of influence.
This global project, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), is a central component in GIZ's range of services for international human capacity development. The networks it builds among the individual participants and the participating organisations broaden their options for contributing effectively and sustainably to change.

Open Letter to HE Kofi A. Annan Secretary-General United Nations
This week in Tunis, at the World Summit on the Information Society, both inside and outside the official Summit, we have witnessed serious attacks on human rights and the right to freedom of expression. Please sign the open letter to Kofi Annan today.
If you would like to endorse this letter, please sign on
here for organisations and here for individuals
or view existing endorsements.
His Excellency Kofi A. Annan Secretary-General
United Nations
Room 3800, United Nations Headquarters
New York, NY 10017
Dear Mr. Secretary-General,
This week in Tunis, at the World Summit on the Information Society, both inside and outside the official Summit, we have witnessed serious attacks on human rights and the right to freedom of expression. These attacks have included harassment of delegates, assaults on Tunisian and international journalists and human rights defenders, denial of entry to the country, the blocking of websites, the censorship of documents and speeches, and the prevention and disruption of meetings.
In advance of the Tunis Summit, civil society organisations expressed to you, in a joint letter of 1 October 2005, very serious concerns about the suitability of Tunisia as a host country. You kindly replied on 27 October 2005, when you indicated that you shared those concerns. You also outlined the measures the United Nations was taking to persuade Tunisia to comply with its international commitments on human rights.
The events this week in Tunis are the culmination of a preparatory process, commencing in Hammamet in June 2004, in which civil society participation and modus operandi have been severely disrupted as a result of the invasive presence of Tunisian government officials and their spokespeople throughout civil society meetings and structures. The holding of the Summit in Tunisia, under the auspices of the Tunisian government has not only put the spotlight on the host country's poor human rights record, it has also brought into question the adequacy of United Nation's mechanisms for civil society participation.
We believe it is essential that lessons are learnt from what has taken place here this week and we therefore call upon you, the Secretary General of the United Nations, to launch a full investigation into the attacks on human rights and freedom of expression that we have witnessed in Tunisia both in the run-up to and during the World Summit on the Information Society. We ask you to closely monitor the follow-up period in Tunisia.
We also ask you to undertake a thorough-going review of procedures leading up to the choice of host country, the protocols for host country agreements with UN agencies and the commitments required of the host country. We further ask you to revise the UN rules for civil society accreditation to ECOSOC and to UN conferences in order to end the exclusion of civil society organisations where the basis for that exclusion is a decision of an individual government with no right of appeal to any independent commission.
This week has reminded us of the importance of being constantly vigilant and of the courage of those who speak out in the face of repression and censorship. We know you share many of our concerns and we sincerely hope you will act swiftly on our requests.

Trade Union Objectives and the Cyclical Variability of Wages and Employment
The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether a simple monopoly union model of wage and employment determination is consistent with the cyclical movements of wages and employment observed in the Finnish manufacturing and mining sector. Estimation of the two-equation model implies that considerably less weight is placed on the variability of employment relative to that of wages in the union's objective function. The findings are consistent with the observed cyclical inflexibility of real wages relative to employment. However, because the data fail to accept certain parameter restrictions embodied in the different model specifications, the study raises doubts about the adequacy of the simple monopoly union model to explain the data generation process.

On October 24, GuitarEuroShop.com conducted an interview with former MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman at Le Vox in Toulon, France during the "Guitar Universe 2012" European tour with Israel's Yossi Sassi (ORPHANED LAND) and France's Stéphan Forté (ADAGIO). You can now listen to the chat in the YouTube clip below.
After reissuing three acclaimed recent studio albums by Friedman over the summer, Prosthetic Records is excited to now introduce North American audiences to the former MEGADETH and CACOPHONY axeman's two "Tokyo Jukebox" albums. Released in Japan in 2009 and 2011, respectively, "Tokyo Jukebox" and "Tokyo Jukebox 2" — the ninth and eleventh chapters in Friedman's influential solo discography — will make their U.S. debuts on November 20 as a limited-edition, specially priced 2CD release featuring artwork exclusive to this pressing and new liner notes by Friedman himself. The double album is now available for pre-order. Soon after leaving MEGADETH following a 10-year run in which the iconic band sold some 10 million albums worldwide, Friedman — perhaps the most revered lead guitarist in thrash metal history — moved to Japan, where over the past decade he became a household name. Between his solo releases and collaborations with Japanese stars, he has played on and written numerous Top 10 hits (including two No. 1s); he has also made hundreds of appearances on mainstream Japanese television and performed at legendary venues such as Budokan and the Tokyo Dome. "Tokyo Jukebox" and "Tokyo Jukebox 2" feature energetic instrumental covers of Japanese pop (J-Pop) songs that can be enjoyed by anyone with a sweet tooth for melody, and capture Friedman's passion for the music of his adopted home country — although, as he warns in the liner notes for this release, "I took the liberty of destroying and reconstructing them my own way." In the below video (which has been posted at Prosthetic's newly-launched Friedman mini-site, where additional "Tokyo Jukebox"-related videos will be unveiled in the coming weeks), Friedman further describes the collection, calling it some of the heaviest and best work of his career. Featuring Jeremy Colson (STEVE VAI, BILLY IDOL) on drums, "Tokyo Jukebox" features reconstructed covers of J-Pop and J-Rock hits selected by readers of Japan's top entertainment magazine. "Tokyo Jukebox 2", meanwhile, was recorded in Los Angeles at The Village (AEROSMITH, KISS), and features guest performances by Jason Bittner (SHADOWS FALL) and Keshav Dhar (SKYHARBOR). The albums feature tracks originally performed by acclaimed Japanese acts such as MR. CHILDREN, SMAP, PERFUME and MAXIMUM THE HORMONE.Ex-MEGADETH Guitarist MARTY FRIEDMAN: New Audio Interview Posted Online

Cane Kostovski put this on my webpage and I liked it so much that I added it here. Thank you Cane!
This pretty much describes the things I like. Thought it was the coolest video and song. I actually bought the song from iTunes.
Cane created a monster -- hehe.
It reinforces the stereotypes and pokes fun at us. The Tron theme worked, but I'm not big on rage. As I see it, this implies that nerds are wannabe gangstas, but fall short (as if that's an alpha male standard) in hilarious ways.
The embed didn't work for me, I had to search at YouTube.

How dysfunctional is the dem party and the people who vote for dems? Think about it---
Their two top priorities are gay marriage and abortion.
In other words, their endgame is a world without children.
Do I need to go into the implications of that?
And people still wonder why I call them moonbats.
I checked the VA site of "self evaluation". Imagine - self.
Anyway, it show an overall positive rating of barely over 50% for the VA in aggregate. Some facilities higher, some lower. That's good? That sucks!!
AND, it's self evaluation. "If some body says poor, uh, that's positive. Only patient dies counts as not positive."
All I know is you are well educated but have chosen to retire quite early, as many other govermment workers have. There was an example on here of one person -gov worker -who uncovered substantial fraud. Good job by her.
Most are on the glide. No pressure, no perfomance. A waste of money.
Still, feel free to give out condoms or BC on the taxpayer nickel. You're already wasting why not follow through all the way.
Did you read the studies i posted for fish published in the NEJM and Annal of Internal Medicine? Please do and then get back to me.
Im still waiting for you to provide us with the studies published in the peer reviewed medical literature that supports your argument that the VA provides inferior care. Still waiting....waiting...waiting
See Ken, this is (IMO) reflective of the problem with liberalism in general.
You simply do not care at all about an individual. Individuals mean nothing to you. An Individual tale of woe is irrelevant to you.
You look, and accept, only stats of the whole, of the collective, as holding any value. If 90 of 100 are handled acceptably, but ten are handled horribly, the ten means less than nothing to you, so much so that you seem to reject that any value can come from even discussing them. You reject in total all "individual" stories, experiences and problems and only accept the overall stats (stats, it should be pointed out, that are VERY easy to manipulate, same as in the Corporate World, and come with an entirely differnt set of criteria for judging "good" and "bad").
I find this very reflective of the collectivist and anti-individual philosophy expressed by so many liberals. You specificly display this trait in a very acute form in these types of disagreements.
I, in fact, was quoting THE OFFICIAL VA REPORT, issued by themselves.
The data admits they stink. Not outside data. THEIR OWN internal findings.
But, please feel free to keep your head in the sand. You made an employment mistake. I guess it's admirable to show loyalty - even to a poor organization. Hey, some people work selling T-Mobile.
Individual tales are what they are individual tales. There will always be outliers. Public policy can not depend on individual tales of woe when the vast majority do not agree. There are over 300 million potential individual tales, policy can not be set on what each individual experiences. There are also many variables that may explain the "individual tale of woe" that is not being looked at.
Funny you care about the individual tale of woe but you dont care about the individual tale of praise.
I disagree fundamentally. Individual tales can always teach teh collective system lessons on how to improve, where it's weaknesses are, and that they are, in fact, serving individuals, not a collective.
Quite the contrary. I mention often that my own Mother's individual tale of collective socialist medicine in the UK is a big part of whay I still get to enjoy her unique brand of enjoyable company.Funny you care about the individual tale of woe but you dont care about the individual tale of praise.
If I was close-minded and selective, I'd never bring it up, right?
What I care about is the Individual. One way or the other.
It's their own site. They are poor on virtually ALL criteria. They do not CALL it poor BUT a 50% or so positive rating ain't good where I come from. Have that rating in the real world (not the la la land of government) and you'll be out the door.
Enough. You have been exposed as a cover-up artist. Can't hid the truth. It may be uncomfortable, but man up.
Be specific, which criteria are you particularly bothered by.
I have referenced two studies published in very respected peer reviewed medical journals (some of the authors were not even from the VA) who rate the care at the VA superior based on clinical measures that matter in the medical community.
I want to know how you judge what is quality care and what is not. My gut tells me that you are one of of those fools who wants every available test done for your problem just because its available even if it makes no medical sense.
How about POSITIVE experience. It is a couple of hundred pages of ratings. The summaries (you know how to evaluate a summary, right?) cast a negative light on virtually ALL the VAs performance.
Now maybe YOUR VA is #1 in the country. Buy still the worst facility in the area.
Here in Charleston our VA is #10 in the US. Worst in the area.
Positive experience is not a healthcare measure. Its a measure of personal satisfaction. Its subjective and has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of healthcare at the VA. As the two published studies i posted quality of care at the VA based on actual health care measures is superior. Nice try though.
Of course it is. A patient who says, "The doctor's and nurses here suck" is in fact a valid metric. The problem with many physicians ( even ones I have used in the past) is they know medicine but understand little else. Perception is a real measure. It's called attitude. Every business I know measures and values perception.
If half the people say "You suck". Then guess what - You suck.
lolz...there are days that I'm still surprised that you were ever cleared psychologically to serve in the National Guard.
Yes. You're on to us. We want a world without children. That's why so many of us have children. It's just to throw off super sleuths like yourself, Jessie.

Chihan Eric Chyung, who is accused of murdering his wife, Paige A. Bennett, at their Norwich home in June 2009, rejected an offer Tuesday morning in New London Superior Court to plead guilty in exchange for a 45-year prison sentence.
Chyung, 50, of Norwich, has opted for a trial, and jury selection will begin Jan. 6, according to Judge Hillary B. Strackbein. He remains free on a $1.25 million bond, with electronic monitoring, while his case is pending.
Chyung and Bennett, who was a 46-year-old nursing assistant at The William W. Backus Hospital, had been married for less than three weeks when Chyung allegedly shot and killed her at their Taftville home. Chyung admitted the couple had been arguing before he shot her but said his Glock 9 mm pistol discharged accidentally. Testimony at the upcoming trial is expected to center around the weapon's safety features.
Norwich police initially charged Chyung with manslaughter, but prosecutor David J. Smith upgraded the charges to murder in June 2011. Chyung is represented by Brian J. Woolf and Kathleen J. Rallo of the Woolf Law Firm in East Hartford.

The final day of of the annual Electric Zoo Festival in New York City, Sunday (September 1), was canceled after two deaths during the first days of the event, believed to be linked to drugs. Additionally, four others were left critically ill and are being treated for overdoses. It's the fifth year of the electronic music festival
The deaths appear to have been cause by overdoses of MDMA, also known as Molly, the New York Daily News reports. City officials recommended to the event's promoters they call off the final day after the deaths, which they agreed to.
The festival's organizers posted a statement on their website, reading, "The founders of Electric Zoo send our deepest condolences to the families of the two people who passed away this weekend. Because there is nothing more important to us than our patrons, we have decided in consultation with the New York City Parks Department that there will be no show today." Security turned away fans as they arrived for the day's festivities.
An announcement about getting refunds for those who had tickets to Sunday's show is expected to be made soon.

If you didn't attend WonderCon 2012 this past weekend, you have our deepest sympathies, because you missed out on a ton of comics, anime, manga, video games and scantily clad cosplayers (including one Adrianne Curry). However, you can get a taste of the geek extravaganza if you check out G4's exclusive WonderCon 2012 pics! The nerds that have already seen them tell us that looking at our WonderCon 2012 photos is just like being at WonderCon, only you don't have to fight a crowd of nerds for con-exclusive Avengers swag. Other than that, the experience is exactly the same.
These are either the worst knockoffs ever, or that dastardly Gargamel dipped the Smurfs in bleach and they've changed their wardrobe to blue in defiance.
Stevie Ryan made it big on YouTube and now she's got her own TV show on VH1! How does she do it? Wait, how can YOU do it, too? We caught up with her backstage on Attack of the Show to find out. And it sounds painful...for the guys, at least.
Check out her tutorial on how to do the best Justin Bieber impression after the jump.
Spartacus: Vengeance is one of the most visually compelling shows on TV and, after close analysis, we've deduce that it's mostly due to Katrina Law. In an attempt to make AOTB as visually interesting, we've added a full gallery of behind-the-scenes Katrina Law pics. Check out the Katrina Law photo gallery and tell us if it worked.
Vote For Sara Underwood In Esquire's Hottest Woman Of 2012 Tournament!
Sara Underwood needs YOUR help! No, she's not a damsel in distress but she's up for Esquire's Hottest Woman of 2012! All you have to do is vote for her bracket online and make sure she climbs her way up to the well deserved title.
Click here to vote and spread the word!
If you need any other reminders about why, peruse these Attack of the Show photo galleries:
- Sara Underwood cosplays at Anime Expo
- Sara Underwood's pillow fight with Candace Bailey!
- Sara's Epic Meal Time
- Sara dresses up as Padme Amidala to prepare for Comic-Con.
"Psst. Hey, buddy, do you know if this bus goes to the Shire?"
Since his Fell Beast is in the shop, this unfortunate Nazgul has to resort to public transportation in his quest to find the Ring of Power.
We've seen so many of Stevie Ryan's outrageous impersonations lately, we're having a hard time differentiating the actor from her multitude of characters. So, more for us than for you, we snapped a handful of Stevie Ryan pictures during today's AOTS. That way, we'll still be able to see the real Stevie Ryan even when she's being Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian or Kendra Wilkinson. If you also enjoy watching Stevie TV and have the same problem deciphering what's real or not, first take your meds and then focus your attention on our Stevie Ryan pics.
What do Darth Vader from Star Wars, Bane from The Dark Knight Rises, Voldemort from the Harry Potter books, Sauron from Lord of the Rings, and Cobra Commander from G.I. Joe all have in common? They all want your vote for the 2012 Supervillain Elections and they're not afraid to eviscerate each other to get it.
As you can see in our Supervillain Primary Debate 2012 pics, those dastardly malefactors are more than willing to use magic, laser rifles, The Force or even slander to strengthen their political footholds. America, it's up to you to carefully examine the Supervillain Primary Debate 2012 photos and pick what villain you want to menace you for the next four years!
You have to admire "Sexy Calendar Guy," Matt. He went from doing a saucy, private calendar shoot for his girlfriend to doing a full on, professional photo shoot with Sara Underwood by his side. That by itself is awe-inspiring enough. What's even more impressive is that the nerdy, "Sexy Calendar Guy" photos actually came out pretty well. Check 'em out and give Matt some geek love!
The brooding songstress, Lana Del Rey may always look like a teenage girl posing for Facebook photos, but finally, someone has managed to match the duck face with the appropriate duck vocals.
Now, her haunting ballad, "Video Games" is good enough to solve a mystery, or rewrite history.
