He still hits a very clean ball. He doesn't hit out much but when he does he can really rip it. His average ball has a lot of spin and is hit with a lot of depth but isn't very heavy compared to a lot of guys. When he rips it his ball does have a lot of topspin that dips very quickly and explodes off the ground. His slice backhand has good penetration. Most of his rally shots had a huge clearance over the net. He has great control and placement on his balls. His volleys are solid. He still appears to glide around the court and still has such great footwork and balance. What made him so great was his anticipation. I saw first hand how awesome his anticipation still is. Bare in mind I have no doubt that he was holding back on me. I'm a lower end 5.0 player, and let me tell you, if we played a set I would be lucky if I got a game. I may get a few points if I serve well but if he tried, getting points would be very difficult. I wouldn't be able to hit thru him. There's not a ball that I can give him that would bother him. He would run me around the court till my lungs collapse. Below are some of the questions that have been debated on this forum that I asked him. His answers are vary interesting and will no doubt led to further heated debates. Sorry in advance if it's a little long winded and difficult to read. I copied paste it from a word document.
He answered these questions (paraphrase): Create your perfect player (I allowed him to pick himself) - Forehand: Fed o Not the biggest but overall the best - Backhand: Djoker o Why no Agassi and Connors? • Because Djoker can do more with the ball from a defensive position. Plus on the run Agassi backhand wasn't as deadly - Forehand volley: Edberg - Backhand volley: Edberg o Why not Mac? • Both were great but Edberg was scarier at the net. Edberg was harder to past and got inside your head more because you see his perfect form, crispness of his volleys, etc…. would make you think you had to make the perfect shot to get it past him - First serve: Isner (might have to go with Sampras because of how clutch Sampras was) - Second serve: Sampras - Return of serve: Djoker o Mention other great returners like Agassi, Connors, Hewitt, etc…. o Fed gets a lot of balls back into play o Agassi is the best returner when he guesses right but he gives up one side too much and pays the price by getting aced a lot o Djoker and Murray are a cross between Agassi and Fed - Court coverage: Djoker o Not Borg? • Yeah, I hate to say it • Borg close second - Stamina: Borg (he said he might pick himself here) - Tactical: Himself - Lobs: forgot to ask him - Overheads: forgot to ask him -Caveat: He said it's really unfair to the past greats. Because of the technology, strings training, etc…. For example, how would Lendl's forehand or Connors backhand look like with current technology? Same goes with the return of serve. So much easier to return the serve, hit winners, and hit passing shots with current conditions. Only thing the poly strings don't help in are the volleys. Strings are "horrible for volleys." Maybe now Borg could be even faster.
What was your game plan against the following? a. Lendl: Very tough if he's serving well. Have to mix it up. Try to get inside his head. The thing about Lendl was I knew he would always play the same way. It was up to me to adjust. b. Becker: Make him hit as many balls as possible. Weather conditions, heat, wind etc… plays a big part. Move him around the court. If it was a fast court with ideal condition (indoor) just show up and shake his hands. c. Edberg: All about if I could handle the kicker to my backhand. Try to get the ball at his feet. Stay away from his backhand and attack the forehand. Playing him at Indian Wells (where the balls really explodes and bounces high), forget about it. d. McEnroe: Such a genius. Just have to react to what he's doing. e. Connors: Didn't have a problem with him. Just play my game. -I mentioned his 7-0 record in ATP event vs. his 0-6 in exo against Connors. Answer: "Its only an exo." He didn't really care about exo's. "exo's are just that, exo's" -Connors was the ultimate fighter and competitor. Would do anything to win. Would try to intimidate and bully his opponents. I loved your plan to get a high percentage of your first serves in (97%) against Laconte in the 88's French Open finals: - I think I only missed 2 first serves - Laconte was dangerous if you give him to many second serves - He also was dangerous off a flat serve. If I hit a flat one that wasn't good enough he would use it against me - Didn't give him balls to attack, made him play on my terms - He had to hit thru me to win Ferrer vs. Chang: - Not fair question due to it being a generation gap - Ferrer looks like the superior player but it could be due to the technology and current conditions - Both has the never say die attitude but I will have to go with Chang because he wasn't scared of the big boys. He had self -belief that he was as good as and could beat the best. How would guys with good 1 hand backhands, like Edberg and Becker handle Nadal's forehand? Could they do a better job then Fed? - Would never let it happen - They wouldn't allow that ploy that Nadal uses against Fed to occur - You wouldn't see those rallies. Not just Edberg and Becker, it goes for McEnroe (even though he's a lefty) also - If they were to lose they would lose on their terms. - They would chip and charge, take ball on the rise and attack, slice down the line, attack the 2nd serve, do anything possible to prevent that cross court forehand to backhand exchange - Not to say they would win but they wouldn't lose on Nadal's terms - Then he goes on to say that's the problem with being so great and talented (referring to Fed) he could be too stubborn Yeah but Edberg, Backer, and Mac where great net rushers, how would a natural baseliner like Guga with his 1 hander deal with it? - It would be tough over time. It would be hard for Guga to always get there in time to set up to hit a clean shot back - However, that's a match I would love to see - Guga had enough firepower to bother Nadal. Good serve and great off both wings. On clay it would be a great battle. Nadal naturally has the advantage but with Guga's passion and spirit he could do it. At his highest level he would have the inner belief that he could win. At your '88 prime could you beat Borg in his prime? - Yes - But that's not to say I'm better or greater then him (another different era scenario) HE STRESSED THIS POINT - In '88 I had better training, racquet, the game evolved, I was a lot better and stronger then when I played him in '82 - Borg was using a wood racquet in his prime Wasn't your rossignol essentially a wood racquet too? - No, it was better then wood - We don't know how Borg would have played with a graphite racquet but with a wood racquet (Borg) I would beat him in '88 with my form at the time My dream match would see you vs. Borg both in your prime on clay. - I don't think anyone would want to see that match - After the first few games most would get bored and stop watching When you coached Safin, what was your main goal? - Have him never to lose to anyone outside the top 10 - Great player, great serve, great off both wings - Good mobility for a big guy - Could have done a lot more '11 Djoker vs. '07 Fed - Djoker played at a higher level more consistently throughout the year - But in a big match against '07 Fed, Fed could pull thru. Hard to bet against Fed. - Very close, hard to call who would win. '11 Djoker just so resilient and clutch. How different would your game be if you grew up in this era? - Couldn't possible say - Maybe a little like Andy Murray: because he had to learn to be more aggressive - Does Gilles Simon remind you of yourself? o No o I hit with more topspin and tried to do more with the ball o I tried to find a chink in my opponents game o Gilles plays the same against everyone and his opponents doesn't have to worry if he would do something different
Greatest of all time? - Accomplishment wise you have to go with Fed - But in truth, you really can't say who's the greatest of all time. To many variable; different eras, conditions, competition, grand slams (who played them, importance of them), etc……… - Talent wise from what I saw Laver, '84 McEnroe, and Fed were the best. - Sampras was a "nightmare" to play. Possibly the best fast court player ever. Gave his opponents no rhythm. - Borg's channel slams ranks up there The Modern era - Nadal: He'll be back. He's like a racehorse. He'll run till he breaks down, recuperate and heals, and starts running again. Incredible athlete. I just don't understand how he can win Rome and Monte Carlo that many times but then go out and do it again. His competitive fire is different then that of the Connors and the Hewitt's do or die, fight to the death attitude, your opponent is the enemy mentality. Unreal motivation. Like a robot, purpose is to play, compete, and win. - Djoker: Could and probably will take tennis to another level, if he hasn't done so already. He's the worst match up for Nadal. Love to see what he does for the next few years. Court coverage and flexibility is just incredible. - Murray: Finally getting into the mix. Has a better all court game then both Nadal and Djoker. Has great touch and variety. Very good court sense. Just has to be willing to battle and keep focus. - Fed: Greatest of all time? Did rack up a lot of his slams during one of the worst top 10 eras. But can't hold that against him. He can do things no else can. The best reactive player ever. Best to go from defense to offense. Because he's so talented he doesn't have to think and plan when he plays.
Very nice.. thanks so much for posting... Wilander was ajoy to watch... still cannot get over that brutal US Open semi with Mac in the utter heat - was it "84?
No in 85. Wilander should have won that match, up two sets to one and 2-0 in the fifth set. McEnroe's fitness and fight were underrated.
Wow thanks. Great read. I think one interesting question might have been about Mecir, known for Swedish killer..
Yeah, I totally forgot to ask him about Mecir. However, in various interviews, Mats is on record stating that he couldn't figure out how to beat the Big Cat.
The respect for Mats has gone up more, its great to hear his opinions and views. Is he still doing Eurosport segments?
Thanks for sharing Zimbo, awesome read, love hearing or reading what Mats has to say about tennis, it's always a privilege and you shared a ton of info. Where did you have the pleasure to meet him?
How high over the net? Just wondering. And thanks for posting. Fun read and very informative. Cheers.
Glad you guys have enjoyed the post. If any of you guys have the chance I would totally recommend doing the Wilander on Wheels fantasy. Awesome experience. I met him briefly years ago at a Wilander vs Borg exo, but WOW was a dream come true. Being able to hit with him and chill with him at dinner was a tennis experience I will never forget. He's a super cool dude. Very easy to talk too.
I actually asked him since he lives in the US would he ever consider working for ESPN tennis coverage instead of Eurosport. His reply, "I don't think they would hire me because I'm not American." But I reminded him that Cahill isn't American. His reply, "yeah but he wasn't a great player." Too funny. Hahahahha
Thanks Zimbo that was a great read. I watched him do his Wilander on Wheels demo in Pasadena (but did not interact with him) and was impressed with his game and the fact he seemed to be enjoying himself as much as the kids he was hitting with.
Mats is possibly more obsessed with this stuff even than us. If you ever hear him on Eurosport he will just talk for hours and hours about these kind of questions. He doesn't like Gilles Simon for some reason, I've noticed this when he commentates on his matches. It seems to go back to when he coached Matheiu.
Thanks Zimbo! I was lucky enough to meet Mats at the either the 1999 or 2000 US OPEN when he was coaching Safin. He was so easy to speak to and he was willing to answer any questions. A really down to earth guy who makes you feel comfortable in his presence. One of my favorite players. Borg is my number 1.
It was the 2001 US Open when Wilander was coaching Safin. Alexander Volkov was Safin's coach when Safin won 2000 US Open.
Great post and spot on with what Mats said when I spent the day hitting with him a while back. And yes -- he is still in as amazing condition as ever. I too second the WOW experience if he is ever in your area. He and Cameron are great guys and after we spent the day on court we then went out to dinner and spent the rest of the evening hanging out and I'm still in touch with them. Great guys.
WOW! Great post. That's some real interesting insight on some of the matches and technology change. Mats was my favorite player as a child. I got a Rossignol F-200 as my first real adult racquet in the fall of 1982 when I was 11 following his French Open win. Played with it for 15 years!
Thanks so much - great read and sounds like Mats! During the AO final yesterday, the other commentator asked if Djokovic was the most flexible player ever and Mats mentioned that Mecir was also very flexible, although did not have the court coverage of Novak.
Thanks Zimbs, It's great that you share this with us tennis fans.The questions were very good and answers by Mats give us a lot of insight and idea about great players from different eras. I agree that there can never be a single best of all time given so many variables.
I have several F200's. I read somewhere that Matts grew up in a small town in Sweden. Very unlikely place to be from and become number one in the world. He learned tennis in the parking lot of his father's workplace. (They set up a net in the parking lot. Reminds me of the Serbs (Joker, Anna and Tipsy) playing tennis in the drained Olympic pool in the winter time. Crazy stuff. As I recall, he quit sort of young (like Borg) and then came back some years later (like Borg) and didn't do so hot (like Borg.). And yes, those guys would own a 5.0, they are so consistent and effortless. No coincidence they were so highly ranked. They are in a completely different world tennis wise than you and me.
Yes, he is on Eurosport. I respect him as a player and what he has achieved is quite amazing, but he has a huge ego as you would expect. I don't quite like his constant picking on Fed. Sure, he knows that Fed has achieved much more, it's diffcult to swallow. Example, in your interview, when he said that Becker or Edberg wouldn't let Nadal hit his FH on their BH like he does with Fed..... Come on! I'd like to see a match between Nadal and Wilander, and see what he says afterwards...
Was he running his clinic with pernfors? The next time he is out in asia I would really like to do that clinic. One of the things on my bucket list is to watch a Fed GS final sitting next to Wilander and listening him give his thoughts.
Zimbo, what was Mats playing with? I remember a few years ago, I hit some balls with him at Legends exhibition. He was playing a fisher. I heard he changed a lot over the years and he had a hard time finding a stick he liked.

Point Park men punchless in KIAC Tournament loss at Cincinnati Christian
Feb. 23, 2013 at 11:45 p.m. ET
T.J. Heatherington ended his career 6th at PPU in scoring (1,594) and 2nd in assists (479). Photo by Lyddia Ankrom.
CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Point Park University turned in a season-low for points in an 87-70 loss at Cincinnati Christian in a KIAC Men's Basketball Tournament Quarterfinal game on Saturday.
Point Park, the No. 5 seed, ends the season at 14-11 overall, 8-7 KIAC, while Cincinnati Christian (16-15, 9-6). the No. 4 seed, moves on to the KIAC semifinals Feb. 25. The KIAC semifinals and finals are being hosted by IU Southeast Feb. 25-26.
The Pioneers, who hung on to set a school record for scoring average in a season, did not have their usual offensive punch at CCU on Saturday. As it is, Point Park will end the year with a final scoring average of 93.2 ppg, which just edges the 2006-07 team that previously held the team scoring record at 92.9 ppg.
That team in 2006-07, however, finished 29-2 and took a No. 3 overall seed into the NAIA DII national tournament. For this year's team, things ended in the conference quarterfinals after it never got out of first gear offensively.
CCU had a modest lead of 40-34 at the break even though Point Park struggled to 28-percent shooting (8 for 28) the first 20 minutes. Point Park did pick things up to the tune of 43 percent the second half, which was aided with a 7-for-12 showing from outside the arc.
Problem was, CCU shot 49 percent the second half to increase the lead even further by outscoring the Pioneers, 47-36, after halftime. CCU shot 44 percent for the game, and Point Park ended up at 36 percent (20 for 56).
T.J. Heatherington led Point Park with 20 points, and he was 9 for 9 from the foul line. Josh Pohlot came off the bench for 12 points as the only other Pioneers player in double-figures. Pohlot helped to fill the void of Matt Noszka, who as lost in the opening minutes to an ankle injury. Noszka had 28 points and 14 rebounds in a home win over CCU on Saturday.
D.J. McCommons had 30 points and seven rebounds for CCU, and Austin Irrer added 19. Guard Mike Hill registered a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds.
Heatherington wrapped up his stellar career with 1,594 career points to rank sixth in school history. He amassed 479 career assists, good for second in Point Park history.

Face and Jaw Surgery |
Dislocation of jaw05/09/2006 |
My father recently suffered from viral encephalitis and during his 17 month stay in the hospital his jaw became dislocated because he lied iin bed with his mouth open the entire time. The muscle underneath became shortened and the muscles in his cheeks became atrophed. We attempted to wire his jaw twice and it failed. I heard there is some procedure that is able to replace the muscle underneath. Is this true and would this be the best course of action? Who would you recommend as the specialists in this field?
My recommendation is for him to see an oral and maxillofacial surgeon with expertise in temporomandibular joint disorders. This is actually not an uncommon situation after prolonged oral intubation.

When Splinter Cell Blacklist launches later this year, Sam Fisher will be 55 years old. He will be eight years older than when we first met him in the very first Splinter Cell–yet many will argue that he's far more spry and agile than ever before. As RowjinZee points out, Fisher is our medium's Benjamin Button.
Ubisoft producer Alexandre Parizeau says that Sam Fisher isn't getting younger, saying gamers might expect him to be much older than he actually is. "You have to keep in mind that this happens six months after Conviction. Even if it's been a few years for us, so maybe we expect him to age older," he said.
I said that having a more agile Sam gives him, at the very least, the appearance of being more youthful. However, Parizeau said that "a lot of the stuff you do in Blacklist, you could do in Chaos Theory, but the controls were not as fluid or as easy to access. If you were really good at the controls, you can do a lot of the stuff you could do now. But we streamlined the controls, and made it a bit more fluid."
Oddly, in spite of replacing Michael Ironside as Sam's actor, the team decided against doing a full reboot of the franchise. In fact, Blacklist continues to make references to earlier games, including the kidnapping of Sam's daughter. "If you're a fan, you'll see some stuff that goes back to previous games," Parizeau teased. However, while Blacklist may not be a fresh beginning for the series, it will feel that way for many. "We made sure that with the story, we have a fresh beginning for the team and for Sam… A lot of characters in the game are new, either to Echelon or to Splinter Cell… For the story, we made sure that you don't need to have all that knowledge to appreciate what's going on."

The VXSM Release 5.6.10 follows VXSM Release 5.6.00. The resolved caveats for VXSM Release 5.6.10 are listed in Table 4.
The Voice Switch Service Module (VXSM) product is supported by the MGX 8880 Media Gateway and the MGX 8850 Multiservice Switch. Refer to their respective release notes for platform and version level support guidelines.
Note To verify that you have the latest version of Cisco IOS required to support the new features included in this release, please check Cisco IOS availability status at Cisco.com.
The VXSM software release notes are supported by Cisco Voice Switch Services (VXSM) Configuration Guide, Release 5.6.10 and Cisco Voice Switch Services (VXSM) Command Reference, Release 5.6.10, both of which are available on cisco.com.
New Features in Release 5.6.10
Release 5.6.10 is a maintenance release with several major new software features over Release 5.6.00.
The new software features include:
•Support for Alternative Codec String
•Hold Tone During Warm Transfer
•Increased Announcement IDs on VXSM
•Ignoring Unsupported Parameters in SDP
•Preference for Codec Negotiation
Multiple Bearer IP Pool
The Multiple Bearer IP Pool feature allows interworking between two or more gateways residing on different private networks. VXSM acts as an interconnect gateway and provides different set of IP addresses for each private network based on a pre-defined rule on the call agent (PGW).
Release 5.6.10 and later releases support this feature.
Usage Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when you configure a multiple bearer IP pool on VXSM:
•Supported on all codec templates for the H248 protocol.
•Supports all card types such as T1, E1, OC3, and so on.
•Supports a maximum eight of bearer pools.
•Supports minimum zero and a maximum of eight bearer IPs in each pool.
•VXSM shall support two new packages vpnd and evpnd while creating pdn termination.
•Pools can be shared across different Virtual Media Gateways (VMG).
•The default pool name is networkA.
For Multiple Bearer IP Pool feature, the following commands were added:
Support for Alternative Codec String
Release 5.6.10 introduces support for alternate strings for existing codecs. Presently VXSM supports only standard codec strings such as PCMU, G.711u, and so on. This feature enables VXSM to use the alternate strings in addition to the existing standard strings. The following call control protocols support this feature:
The feature supports these codec templates:
•TGW and Wireline: Supports G.711, G.723, G.723.1a, G.726, G.729, G.729A, and Clear Channel.
•Cable: Supports G.711 and iLBC.
•TGW2: Supports G.711, G.726, G.729A, iLBC, and Clear Channel.
•FMC: Supports G.711, G.726, G.729A, AMR-NB, GSM-EFR, and Clear Channel.
For the Support for Alternative Codec String feature, the following commands were added:
Specifies the alternate codec strings for VXSM.
Displays the alternate codec strings for a specific adaptation type and codec.
Hold Tone During Warm Transfer
This enhancement introduces a new type of hold tone during a warm transfer. The new tone is played during the warm transfer period. Only MGCP protocol supports this enhancement.
For the Hold Tone During Warm Transfer feature, the following commands were modified:
Increased Announcement IDs on VXSM
Release 5.6.10 increases the announcement identifiers on the VXSM from 1024 to 9924. Only H.248 protocol supports this enhancement.
For the Increased Announcement IDs on VXSM feature, the following commands were modified:
Ignoring Unsupported Parameters in SDP
Effective this release, when VXSM receives any unsupported parameters in a Session Description Protocol (SDP) for a codec, it ignores the unsupported attributes and does not consider that particular codec for negotiation. This prevents VXSM from rejecting the whole SDP. If a single codec is received in the m-line, and the SDP validation fails, the VXSM does not acknowledge that request. Only H.248 protocol supports this enhancement.
Also note that when VXSM receives multiple SDPs in the local descriptor with the first one with media type as VIDEO and subsequent one with media type as AUDIO, VXSM will ignore the first SDP and process the second SDP instead of returning any error, because VXSM does not support media type VIDEO. This will also apply if a single SDP is received with multiple m lines, with first one with media type as Video and subsequent one with media type as Audio. Here also, VXSM will ignore the m lines with media type VIDEO and process the first m line found with media type as AUDIO.
Preference for Codec Negotiation
This enhancement allows a user to specify the codec negotiation preference to either remote or local code. Only H.248 protocol supports this enhancement.
For Preference for Codec Negotiation feature, the following commands were added:
Sets the codec negotiation preference.
Displays the codec negotiation preference.
Firmware Images
For each VXSM card type (OC-3/STM-1, T1/E1, or T3), two firmware images are available, namely, Non-CALEA and CALEA. When placing an order, the user must specify whether a Non-CALEA or CALEA image is required.
Both CALEA and Non-CALEA images supports three Media Gateway Control protocols, namely, H.248, MGCP, and TGCP. However, VXSM supports only one protocol at a time. The user must choose between the H.248, MGCP, and TGCP protocols when the image is first loaded from the PXM using the setrev command.
The CALEA image supports LI based on SII architecture for H.248, TGCP and MGCP protocols. The PktCable CALEA is supported only with MGCP and TGCP protocols.
VXSM supports four different Codec templates; Tandem Gateway (TGW), Tandem Gateway 2, Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC), and Cable. The Cable template can be used only in conjunction with TGCP.
Upgrading from an Earlier VXSM Release
VXSM can be gracefully upgraded (configuration is preserved) from VXSM Release 5.5.00 or later.
Note VXSM supports upgrade of non-CALEA to CALEA firmware. But upgrade from CALEA to non-CALEA is not supported.
When loading or upgrading a boot or runtime image to a VXSM card, users must observe the following caution:
Caution If an H.248 association is active with SrvChgProfile (used in service change message) as BT_TGW in 5.3.x.x release, after graceful upgrade to 5.6.10, the association will continue to use BT_TGW, but new association(s) cannot be added with SrvChgProfile as BT_TGW.
From the 5.4.00 release onward, the BT_TGW SrvChgProfile is no longer available. All new associations must be added using either etsi_tgw or CISCO_TGW.
Prior to upgrade, user should confirm that additional termtypes (other than the defaults) have not been configured for VXSM in H.248.
Warning Many of the commands involved in loading or upgrading boot and runtime images can take several minutes to execute completely. If the user resets or otherwise disturbs the VXSM card during a loading or upgrading process, the card can easily be damaged even to the extent that it must be returned to the factory for repair.
In particular:
Do not reset VXSM or PXM cards manually or through commands such as resetcd or resetsys
Do not save all MGX configurations with commands such as saveallcnfs.
Do not toggle primary/secondary cards through commands such as switchredcd, delred
Do not change the name of software image before or during the upgrade
Do not change any configuration of active primary card during the upgrade
After the execution of the burnboot, clrsmcnf, loadrev, or setrev commands, the user must execute either a dspcds or dsprev command periodically to verify that the state of the VXSM card being loaded or upgraded is either Active, Standby, or Failed.
If the upgrade procedure is interrupted for reasons outside the control of the user (for example, a power outage), see "Interrupted Procedure Recovery" below for instructions.
Interrupted Procedure Recovery
In the event that a VXSM software upgrade procedure is interrupted (for example, power outage), and both Primary and Secondary are stuck in 'Failed-U' state, perform the following procedure:
Step 1 Execute the abortrev command:
abortrev <PrimarySlot> <NewImageRevision>
Step 2 If the primary VXSM becomes "Failed/Active" (out of Failed-U/Active"), then execute the resetcd command
resetcd <PrimarySlot>
Step 3 If the secondary VXSM becomes "Failed/Active" (out of Failed-U/Active"), then execute the resetcd command:
resetcd <SecondarySlot>
Step 4 Both primary and secondary VXSM cards should now have their original SW image and original DB
Feature Clarifications
Call Rate Performance Support
VXSM OC3 Card supports the following call rates:
•In MGCP, the maximum CPS supported is 60 (without signaling). If signaling (M3UA/IUA/RUDP) is configured, then the maximum supported CPS is 50.
•In H.248, the maximum CPS supported is 85 (without signaling). If signaling (M3UA/IUA) is configured, then the maximum supported CPS is 50.
Online Diagnostics Feature as Applied to VXSM
The online diagnostics feature as implemented on the PXM45 card is supported on VXSM. When enabled, using the PXM45 cnfdiag command, this feature performs non-intrusive diagnostics tests that use four of the VXSM G711 DSP resources.
If the user executes the VXSM dspdspcodecpools command, the resulting display shows the four G711 DSP resources being used (for diagnostics) and subtracts them from the remaining available Codecs (see example below).
mgx.3.VXSM.a > dspdspcodecpools=====================================================================DSP codec capacity usage=====================================================================Codec pool Current utilized Current availablecapacity (#DSP chans) capacity (#DSP chans)========== ===================== =====================G711 family/HDLC 179 7885G729/G726/T.38 family 0 3919G723 family 0 2911In this example, 175 G711 calls have been established along with four G711 resources used for diagnostics.
The online diagnostics feature does not reduce the maximum number of 8064 G711 DSP resources available for calls on the VXSM card. If the number of call requests on the VXSM is sufficiently high, the online diagnostic feature is disabled automatically and the four Codecs are made available for active calls.
DSP Resources Under Mixed Codec Conditions
When the same Codec is used to setup calls on the gateway the available DSP resources will be fully utilized. However when different Codecs are used to setup calls the amount of utilizable DSP resources may be limited in certain cases due to resource fragmentation.
Fragmentation is said to have occurred when the available capacities on two different DSP resources have enough available capacity to support a call of a particular Codec type but cannot support that Codec type individually.
Consider two DSP resources whose available capacity is 1 unit each making the total available capacity 2 units. However a Codec that requires 2 units cannot be supported in the system because the available capacities have been fragmented across the individual DSP resources.
The DSP allocation algorithm on VXSM does make an attempt to smooth the effects of fragmentation. Fragmentation can happen because the pattern of future calls cannot be predicted beforehand.
VXSM Management Information Base
The VXSM Management Information Base (MIB) Version 5.6.10 is available to users with CCO accounts who can access the MIB and VXSM software on-line at: http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/index.shtml
Step 1 Log on to http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/index.shtml
Step 2 Locate the VXSM platform (either VXSM 8880 or VXSM 8850) and click the down arrow to expand the "Select Release Level" drop down menu.
Step 3 Select the desired MIB release level (for example, Release 5500) to display a list of downloadable files.
Step 4 Click on the desired file (for example, mgx8850-fw-5500.tar).
Step 5 Read the license agreement and, if approved, click Accept.
Step 6 In the Software Download dialog box, click on Download: filename (where filename is the name of the file selected for download). This step starts the download procedure.
Step 7 Follow the normal file download procedure for your computer.
Step 8 When the file has been downloaded, untar or unzip the downloaded file. The MIB file is included in the downloaded file and is listed as a tar file (for example mgx8850rel5500mib.tar).
Step 9 Untar the MIB file to display its contents.

With at least a foot of snow, last week's storm put a crimp in many businesses' ability to function.
But was the effect not that large, given the fact that the blizzard fell between Christmas and New Year's Day, a week during which many businesses are closed anyway?
It is events like this that should prompt old-line corporate mindsets to rethink their policies on allowing people to work from home. Some of the most creative, talented, experienced people are no longer interested in working from a cubicle or a corporate office. Increasing numbers of off-site workers is the wave of the future.

We wish the policy were still around, at least to weed out the more ridiculous ideas. Today, tech companies are some of the worst offenders in patent application, filing crazy patents for any half-baked idea they can think up, without the slightest regard for whether an object can actually be made. That's not even going into patents for basic ideas like Page Up/Page Down keys. Questionable patents aside, the strict miniaturization policy might have finally given us an iPhone Nano. The days of physical patents are over, but some are still collecting the rare miniature versions, including the roller skate and paper clip.

Drug-Resistant Urinary Tract Infections Spreading Worldwide
A sudden worldwide increase in an antibiotic-resistant bacterium is cause for concern, according to a review in f1000 Medicine Reports.
Faculty of 1000 member Dr Johann Pitout, of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Calgary, urges the medical community to monitor the spread of a multi-drug resistant bacterium before it becomes necessary to use more powerful antibiotics as a first response.
Extended-spectrum ò-lactamases (ESBLs) are bacterially-produced enzymes that confer resistance to penicillin-type antibiotics. ESBLs have been commonly linked to nosocomial infections, which are generally treated with intravenously-administered antibiotics such as the carbapenems.However, in recent years there has been a drastic increase in community-acquired infections, caused by a single strain of ESBL-producing E. coli. Dr Pitout suggests that the rapid spread of this particular strain is due, at least in part, to international travel through high-risk areas such as the Indian subcontinent.
Using carbapenems as the first response to such infections increases the risk of inducing resistance to them in the community, nullifying some of our most powerful anti-bacterial strategies. Dr Pitout recommends that the medical community should use existing methods to identify infections caused by ESBL-producing bacteria, and empirically test the efficacy of other antibiotics in treating community-acquired infections.
Dr Pitout concludes, "If this emerging public health threat is ignored "¦ the medical community may be forced to use the carbapenems as the first choice for the empirical treatment of serious [community-acquired UTIs]."

There are actually multiple valid definitions of the term jihad. They include (among others) inner spiritual struggle, outer physical struggle, and (particularly to the Shiahs) struggle against those who do not believe in the Islamic God (Allah).
Thus (channeling Sting here) the answer to the question of "what is Jihad" is "it depends".

I'm not just beginning, but I'm still pretty new to Java. I've made a calculator before, so now I want to improve it to do more complicated calculations. I learn pretty fast, I just need someone to point me in the right direction.
Alright, well, here's a whitepaper on operator-precedence parsing... it's the one I used to create mine. It's just theory though, converting it to a usable code is up to you.
Operator Precedence Parsing
Here's Wikipedia on the subject...
Operator-precedence parser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And lastly, I will make a quick suggestion... Work with something simple like "1+2+3" to start with. ;)
Good luck!

The Impact of Governance on Economic Growth: Further Evidence for Africa
Sub-Sahara African countries have had a checkered past when it comes to good governance and good institutions. Increasingly, economists and policy makers are recognizing the importance of good governance and institutions for economic growth and development. The New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) which was initiated by the African Heads of State and endorsed by the G8 countries including the European Union, Japan, and China in October 2001 has four main goals: eradicating poverty, promoting sustainable growth and development, integrating Africa into the world economy, and accelerating the empowerment of women. The NEPAD objectives are based on the underlying principles of a commitment to good governance, democracy, human rights and conflict resolution, and the recognition that the maintenance of these standards is fundamental to the creation of an environment conducive to investment and long-term economic growth. The objective of this paper is to investigate the role of governance in explaining the sub-optimal economic growth performance of African economies while controlling for the conventional sources of growth. Our results suggest that good governance or lack thereof contributes to the gaps in income per capita between richer and poorer African countries. Furthermore, our results indicate that the role of governance on economic growth depends on the type and the level of income growth of countries under consideration.

Reviews for Lentil Vegetable Soup
"I love lentil soups and this turned out to be no different. I adapted this recipe to our taste though. I skipped the soy sauce and V8 juice. I added 1 can diced tomatoes, some black pepper powder, and thyme. Delicious!!"
"I made "this" soup as well. I added more vegetables. Cabbage, parsnips, extra carrots and celery. Spices I added were chili powder and basil, s and p. I couldn't see it turning out very well, being that the only spice was soy sauce. I also added a half a can of green chilis we had in the fridge. We shall see.... I gave it five stars because it taught me how to add brown rice and lentils to a soup without ruining the vegetables."
"This is a nice one-dish meal, full of a complete protein (from the lentils and brown rice together), vegetables, and fiber. I spice it up with a few generous dashes of dried parsley, sage, thyme, rosemary, and garlic powder. The end result is delicious and my kids love it."

LINCOLN, Maine — As many as 50 people will be at a Route 6 construction site near the Lee town line Monday to protest the construction of the $130 million Rollins Mountain wind project, an event organizer said Sunday.
"The reason we are doing this is to continue to expose the fact that this is such a horrendous project, that it is doing untenable environmental damage to Rollins Mountain and the ridges of Rocky Dundee [Road]," said Brad Blake of Cape Elizabeth, spokesman for the Citizens Task Force on Wind Power, an umbrella group of about 14 groups of residents fighting wind projects around the state.
Members of the task force and the Friends of Lincoln Lakes, one of the 14 suborganizations, were making signs for the 8 a.m. protest. The protest will occur near the Rollins Ridge site, where workers paid by project proponent First Wind of Massachusetts are building roads and pouring concrete bases for the 40 turbines, each capable of generating 1½ megawatts, slated for ridgelines in Burlington, Lincoln, Lee and Winn.
Blake promised that members of the 14 groups would be there.
"We have people coming from all over the state," he said. "People from other communities that are threatened by similar projects will be there, and we have people coming from communities that have been wise enough to put wind turbine ordinances in place to protect their citizens — unlike the irresponsible support for wind that the officials in the town of Lincoln put forth right from the beginning."
First Wind officials hope to have most if not all of the turbines and other materials being stored at the Chester site installed by April.
The Lincoln Planning Board approved the project on Dec. 1, 2008, with the other host towns eventually following suit. The Maine Department of Environmental Protection's permit for the First Wind subsidiary came in April 2009, but the project, probably the most protested since wind-to-energy companies began investing in Maine, had been in civil court since then.
The Friends of Lincoln Lakes have lost all of their protests to the planning boards, DEP and the Board of Environmental Protection, but the group has no intention of stopping anytime soon. Its lawyer, Lynne Williams of Bar Harbor, is continuing to press legal action with state officials over the project.
Blake said the protest will underline the group's belief that the project is improperly sited, First Wind hasn't the money to finish building and operating it, and that state money should not be used to support the project.
"If anybody could see the devastation to the environment from the blasting and clear-cutting taking place on the ridges above the Lincoln Lakes, they would understand how horrendous the environmental impact is for this," Blake said.
First Wind has argued that its project meets or exceeds all state environmental requirements and that wind turbines have no adverse effect on land values while producing environmentally friendly electricity and significant economic benefits to their host communities.
Rollins is the first in the state contracted to supply Maine utilities with wind power at discount rates.

Dark Messiah - Review @ Just Adventure
May 16th, 2007, 13:01
Most of the Dark Messiah reviews have faded into the past but Just Adventure has just posted an unusual critique that's as much game history lesson as anything else. There's no score and I'm not really sure exactly how the author sees the game as a whole but here's a sample:
Let us not forget the plot. The plot is the thing in my book and the plot in this game is about Sareth the orphan who happens to be adopted or raised by a wizard named Phenrig. Sareth needs to find out his true identity and Phenrig and his friends help him do this by presenting him with quests. Phenrig puts a demoness named Xana in your head who you can talk to. Talking to Cortana helps alleviate the loneliness that assaults most single character adventurers.More information.
Unfortunately the plot is linear. Everyone knows I prefer open ended game plots, such as the one from Faster Than Lights SunDog: The Frozen Legacy, released in 1984 for Atari ST and Apple II. The design was by Bruce Webster and Wayne Holder. Be a space trader, be a mercenary, be a bounty hunter, etc. You can do almost anything as you explore the galaxy and upgrade your ship engines, weapons, etc. This type of game was tried in the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons gold box games (Pool of Radiance, Strategic Simulations, 1988). You explored, you found new places and you forged off in another direction. In the end you came to the same climax.

I don't know what the heck he talked about but there were a lot of great side-stories along the way. (actually I do know, but it was secondary to just the fun little asides). That was how I felt reading this.

6 N.J. officers charged with protecting targets of drug probe
By WAYNE PARRY
Associated Press Writer
NEWARK, N.J.- Six police officers from northern New Jersey were indicted Tuesday on charges alleging they protected targets of a drug ring investigation by tipping them off about raids in exchange for drugs.
"The targets lived a high-profile lifestyle: They drove luxury vehicles and they had boats, and they partied with the officers," said Passaic County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Jay McCann. "Then it cascaded from there."
The primary drugs involved were the powerful painkiller OxyContin and the sleeping pill Ambien.
The officers were arrested within the past 18 months, but the case was made public on Tuesday with the indictments.
Each officer has been suspended and faces arraignment in four to six weeks on charges including conspiracy to commit official misconduct; conspiracy to possess narcotics; official misconduct; witness tampering and hindering apprehension.
The indictment also names seven others who were targeted in the drug probe, which included dealing in cocaine, OxyContin and anabolic steroids.

Sharat Raju
Sharat Raju has won more than twenty awards as a filmmaker since graduating with honors from The American Film Institute's renowned directing program. His Masters Thesis film, American Made, quickly became an international phenomenon as it tore through the film festival circuit in 2004-05, winning awards at Tribeca Film Festival, Aspen Shortsfest, AFI Fest, and from BAFTA. American Made aired on PBS's Emmy Award-winning program "Independent Lens" from 2006-2010.
Sharat followed up his thesis short by directing and producing a grassroots independent film that has similarly made its mark around the world – Divided We Fall: Americans in the Aftermath. Featured on CNN, NPR, BBC and others, Divided We Fall is the first documentary feature to chronicle the rise in hate-crimes and race-related abuse in the immediate aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001. Demand for the film sent Sharat on an speaking and screening tour at more than 150 towns and cities around the world.
In 2007 Sharat was selected as a Film Independent Directing Fellow with his script Sacred Grounds. In 2008 he earned a spot in ABC Network's prestigious DGA Directing Fellowship. He spent time learning to direct episodic television by shadowing on the sets of Desperate Housewives, Cavemen, October Road, Boston Legal, Greek, and Samantha Who.
In 2011, Sharat wrote, directed, co-produced and edited an episode of "FutureStates" – a PBS-funded science fiction anthology series. His episode "Worker Drone" explores the consequences of outsourcing war and the video-gaming of modern conflict.
Originally from Chicago and a graduate of the University of Michigan, Sharat lives in New Haven, Connecticut where he teaches filmmaking at the Yale University Visual Law Project – an initiative he helped found at Yale Law School that brings together documentary filmmaking and legal scholarship into a new form of visual knowledge production. He began his career as an assistant to legendary casting director Mali Finn, learning performance and directing while working on a variety films including The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions, and 8 Mile.
