Design a Radio System with Open IP
Not all radio IP architecture is the same. Using open IP protocols make your radio system more resilient than any other system out there, even in the face of multiple failures.
IP is the underlying technology for all forms of modern communication that are now part of our everyday lives. Whether we are talking about applications on your 4G cell phone, such as instant messaging, or video conferencing at home or at work, almost everything in telecommunications today runs over IP at some point.
However, it is open IP protocols, those that adhere to open standards, which are delivering the incredible advances and capabilities for radio systems to communicate and operate.
A land mobile radio (LMR) system built on open IP architecture, like Airbus DS Communications VESTA® Radio solution, uses standard protocols and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment to connect elements of the radio system – from the dispatch consoles through the radio network and right up to the repeaters. As a result, customers gain operational efficiencies and improved network survivability even in the worst of conditions.
To help you understand this smarter way to keep all our communities safe and designing it with an open mind, let's do a high-level walk-through of how to design a radio system using open IP. We'll start with network survivability.
Network Survivability
An open IP architecture has a dramatic effect on network survivability because it increases your level of protection with regards to system reliability and resiliency. System reliability is the ability of a system to avoid a failure, while system resiliency addresses a system's ability to recover from a failure quickly so that users of the network are not impacted.
System Reliability
In the old days, we relied on a centralized system, where all functions were in one location causing failure of that centralized equipment to result in a large system failure. IP changes that and allows for those functions to be "distributed" across different pieces of equipment to create a "distributed architecture." If a piece of equipment fails, only a small piece of functionality is lost, not the entire system, meaning you have taken an important step in increasing your system's reliability.
Now, to enhance the distributed architecture, we add redundancy. We do that by duplicating key pieces of equipment and then connecting them over the IP network so that a duplicate piece of equipment can take over if the other fails. Then, we separate those redundant pieces of equipment in different locations across the IP network to create an incredibly reliable solution.
Once again, open IP networking standards is the key to making all of this possible.
Next, let's address system resiliency.
System Resiliency
Resiliency speaks to the ability of a network to continue to operate in the face of repeated failures. This is also known as fault tolerance and is one of the most powerful capabilities of open IP networks with a distributed architecture.
In a properly designed network, even if a primary link between network locations goes down, the adaptive routing capabilities of open IP standard protocols make it possible to reroute packets via a different path at lightning speeds. This means, for example, if a router fails in one part of the network, the packets are quickly and automatically rerouted to the destination through another path. So the network stays up, even in the face of multiple failures.
That's why we say an open IP architecture adds critical resiliency to a radio network. By designing a distributed and redundant system architecture you avoid single points of failure. And with the ability to 'self-heal' and dynamically reroute information, you can ensure a failure does not prevent information from reaching its destination.
Let's take it to another level.
Virtualization is an important component of open IP architecture and adds yet another layer of protection to the network beyond standard redundancy. When coupled with IP networking, virtualization allows for dynamic redistribution of network functionality in the face of an unavoidable failure. Airbus DS Communications includes virtualization in how we configure both our P25 radio and 9-1-1 systems.
Here is how it works:
Virtualization redistributes system functions among the network's available servers, allowing you to keep the network going for as long as possible using its remaining resources. Additionally, you can restore the network using whatever usable resources are available.
Do you remember the movie Apollo 13 with Tom Hanks? There is a scene where the air supply system failed and then the back-up system failed, and they were going to run out of air. However, they restored the air supply by repurposing some equipment in the Apollo module.
Similarly, with virtualization, the applications providing your network functionality can exist on any available server. This means that, in a disaster scenario where system functionality is no longer available, you can recover by repurposing other servers to run the applications the network requires.
Now, for the icing on the cake…
The Veneer of IP vs. Native IP
As we said earlier, not everyone configures their radio network like we have been describing, but once you know what to look for it's easy to understand the difference.
The diagram above depicts what we mean by the veneer or façade of IP. In this type of architecture, an IP Gateway is used to convert data from open IP to a proprietary network backbone, or it may use routers and switches in non-standard configurations or with proprietary extensions. These customized solutions are more costly to buy and to maintain. With an open IP architecture there are no proprietary gateways or switches. Instead you use standard off-the-shelf routers and switches which can be configured and used for their specific environment. As a result, you get a system that is reliable, highly available and doesn't have to involve additional cost or complexity. There is no proprietary content.
At Airbus DS Communications, we design our radio systems like the graphic on the right – with a native IP architecture. We use commercial off-the-shelf equipment, with no proprietary equipment necessary in our network.
How we protect the radio system against failures and how we handle breakdowns is very different from other solution providers. Our solutions go the extra mile to protect the integrity of the system in case of a failure. Here is what we mean:
- In any LMR system, there is a hierarchy of system controllers over the entire system, a site controller over the sites, and repeaters on the sites. When all components are operational, full functionality and connectivity is present within the system as well as within external networks and dispatch consoles.
- When there is a in a breakdown, our solution handles failures at each level of the hierarchy by simply dropping the functionality down to the next lower level ensuring coverage and dispatch capabilities are not lost.
- If the system controller (and its backup) fails, the site controllers assume the responsibility for keeping the system operational with full coverage and dispatch capabilities.
- Likewise, if the site controller (and its backup) fails, the repeaters stay in communication and take over to maintain coverage and dispatch capabilities while transitioning into failsoft operation.
In comparison, other solutions would have disconnected after losing the first layer of the hierarchy. Bottom line, with the VESTA Radio solution, each level of the hierarchy is throwing a life line to the layer below it. System survivability is taken to the level where your network can sustain multiple failures and still maintain radio coverage and dispatch communications. This is a critically important capability in helping you to protect your communities.
At Airbus DS Communications, we promise our customers that we'll always Design WITH AN OPEN MIND to provide you the benefit of freedom of choice and to keep you from being locked into a proprietary system.
What to Look for in Your Radio System Design
Many Public Safety agencies are becoming more aware of the benefits of open IP architecture and the difference between the veneer of IP and native IP. To help you have the benefits of open IP networking, look for these three things when designing a radio system:
- Ensure the system supports open IP industry standards that use off-the-shelf IP components, without special programming or configuration, as well as web-based management tools.
- Make sure the system takes advantage of fault tolerance and recovery capabilities that are native to open-standard IP networks to enhance system resiliency.
- Ensure the network has distributed architecture utilizing geo-redundancy to avoid single points of failure where the loss of one site or even one component could take the entire system off the air.
One other important point
There is a frequent misconception around the ability of a common IP network to carry a combination of traffic such as radio, 9-1-1 and emergency notification applications. Using standard routers, switches and open IP protocol standards, agencies can indeed use one common IP network to carry a combination of traffic in a reliable way.
For more information, read the article in this CRITICAL MATTERS® edition on the City of Richardson and how moving public safety and governmental applications onto a common IP backbone is allowing them to save hundreds of thousands of dollars while still providing top-rate service and connectivity. In short, we know it's possible because we are doing it.
The power and operating efficiencies of open IP protocols are truly remarkable. IP is a huge enabler for not only efficiency, but for reliability, resiliency and future applications we may not have even considered yet.

As a recently divorced humour columnist for the city's most read newspaper, Daniel is a local celebrity. For Éloi ArchamBaudoin who plays Daniel, the character contemplates the important things we all should have on our mind, from the notion of success to the excess of oversized vehicles, "This is a very modern piece set in present day, with references to recent events and Montreal news." Coma Unplugged is a witty and beautifully touching look inside Daniel's mind. Here, we meet his various 'visitors': his ex-wife Marjorie (Braganza), Roger- a childhood bully (Reiter), his mother Madeleine (Glover), Ishouad- a mysterious Tuareg warrior (Miller) and Stephen Hawking. Daniel ultimately grasps that he is comatose following a traffic accident. Or was it an accident? In his own words, he wanted "to see if I could be as brave as that little Chinese guy in Tiananmen Square". His daughter needs him, but will he choose to return? This is the reality check that leads him to examine the cynicism inherent to his era. Teetering between life and death, he finds clarity.
With 'Coma Unplugged' we bring the audience into the mind of a man wrestling with inner demons invoked by cultural conflict. As this remarkably ordinary delirium unfolds, it reveals a mind of sincerity, perseverance, and self-awareness. Cloaked under comedy and cunning, Pierre-Michel's text is nevertheless an earnest and sage message for all generations: cherish life and love, because sardonic indifference leads only to emptiness and apathy. As morbidly amusing as Daniel's grave circumstances may be, the audience is impelled to contemplate their own values and discover a startling empathy.

Sandpoint Newspapers
by Gary Pietsch
Newspapers came and went over a long period of time in Bonner County. There were years of bitter competition among editors-years that resembled the biting language of the Tombstone Epitaph of Tombstone, Arizona. It was a time when men differed in their views and did not hesitate in renouncing the views of a competing editor. It was a time before people preyed on every written word in order to scream "libel" or "slander." It was a good time.
The beginning of the newspaper business in this area had its roots in Rathdrum, Idaho. There the Kootenai County Republican first appeared on Friday, May 19, 1899. What is now Bonner, Boundary, Benewah, and Kootenai counties made up one huge county called Kootenai.
John F. Yost edited the Republican, which consisted of four pages. The outstanding feature was its editorials, which often conflicted with the Coeur d'Alene Press, a paper backed by the Democratic Party. The Republican covered some national news as well as everyday events of the local citizens. The cost of the paper was $1.50 per year or $2.00 per year if not paid in advance. Probably the most read section of the paper was page two where "Seen and Heard About Town," was found.
On 12 July 1901, the Republican announced that the paper had moved to Sandpoint, Idaho. Two things prompted the decision to move. Rathdrum had two other papers with which Yost had to compete while Sandpoint had none. The closest paper to Sandpoint was the Bonners Ferry Herald, which made Sandpoint a prime target for Yost and his Republican.
The Republican was published as a semi-weekly beginning in May 1903. The paper came out on Wednesday and Saturday but the subscription rate remained the same. It was during this time that local citizens could read, on the front page, events that were happening in Sandpoint and the county.
Two men, Al Filson and George Barker, arrived in Sandpoint in 1903. Both had extensive newspaper experience and they were looking for a paper to buy. They contacted John Yost and he agreed to sell the Republican. George Barker later gave an account of the purchase, which gives a picture of Sandpoint at that time. Barker stated, "On arrival in Sandpoint we found the newspaper office in a thick forest of pines at the corner which was occupied in after days by John Bode's saloon and later by Dr. Peet's office. The Allen Bros. Drug store was just being completed and there were a few frame buildings on First street, most of which were occupied by saloons." Filson and Barker changed the paper's name to the Northern Idaho News and published it as a weekly. The emphasis of the News provided coverage for Sandpoint as well as the surrounding communities.
A split between Filson and Barker occured in 1904. Barker sold his share of the paper to Filson and moved from the area. In the summer of 1905 Barker re-appeared in Sandpoint. He had purchased the Priest River Enterprise and moved the paper to Sandpoint. The Enterprise was renamed the Pend d'Oreille Review and was housed in the Solomon Building located at 105 South First Avenue.
The competition between Filson and Barker was intense, to say the least. Their conflicting views on various subjects, especially politics, were aired in both papers. Their remarks often became personal in nature.
In 1924, a mimeographed daily paper called the Daily Bulletin hit the streets of Sandpoint. Laurin E. Pietsch and J.L. Stack published it. It was free and other papers treated it as a joke. After four months of free distribution the Bulletin began charging 25 cents a month for distribution. In 1926 Pietsch was the sole owner of the Daily Bulletin.
In 1928 Sandpoint was a four-paper town. J.C. Parsons had taken over the Pend d'Oreille Review and later established the Daily Panidan. This was in direct competition with the Daily Bulletin. His other paper, the Pend d'Oreille Review, was competitor to the Northern Idaho News.
The little mimeographed paper that had been "a joke" survived Parson's efforts to shut it down. Not only did it survive but also on August 1, 1929 Laurin Pietsch purchased both the Panidan and the Pend d'Oreille Review. He consolidated the three papers into two – The Pend d'Oreille Review, a weekly, and the Daily Bulletin, which was distributed daily. Pietsch dropped all political ties and the papers were declared independent.
In 1936 the Review was discontinued for financial reasons and to give Pietsch more time with the Daily Bulletin. During the first part of 1940 the Bulletin became a weekly and was renamed the Sandpoint Bulletin.
The newspaper feud ended in 1944 when the Northern Idaho News and Sandpoint Bulletin merged and became the Sandpoint News-Bulletin. Sandpoint was once again a one-paper town.
Pete Thompson started another paper in 1966, which he called the Bee Hive. In 1975 Thompson purchased the Sandpoint Bulletin from Pietsch and for a time published both the Bee Hive and the News Bulletin. Eventually the papers were combined and became the Sandpoint Daily Bee. Pete Thompson acquired papers in Post Falls, Priest River, and Bonners Ferry.
In 1984 Duane Hagadone purchased the Daily Bee and at a luncheon speech told of his plans to start a Sunday paper. This paper would be in direct competition with the Spokane based Spokesman-Review that, at that time, was the only Sunday paper in the area.
In 1988 the name of the paper was changed to the Bonner County Daily Bee and is distributed as a morning paper to this date.

Following the recent news that T-Mobile has decided to apply a 500MB data limit to its mobile phone contracts, and the subsequent criticism it received, the network has issued a statement clarifying its position.
"Yesterday we began notifying our contract customers of changes to their Fair Usage Policies (FUPs) relating to data usage on mobile phones. In line with the industry, T-Mobile will be reducing its FUP for data downloading to 500MB/month from 1st February 2011.
"These restrictions will affect both new and existing customers, and will ensure an improved quality of service for all of our mobile internet users. As the average mobile internet customer uses only 200MB of data each month, this will only affect a small minority of users, whom we have begun notifying.
"T-Mobile will not charge its customers additional rates for exceeding these data limits, and those who do will still be able to access important services such as email and website browsing, but will have file downloading restricted. Customers who have a need for higher volumes of data will be encouraged to take up a separate mobile broadband plan. We are confident that these changes will result in a better experience for all of our customers who use internet on their phone."
So basically, once you get to 500MB you'll be blocked from any large web activity, but you won't be charged. Nice for your pocket, but still not great for those Android users who signed 3GB agreements.

Early days and formation (2004)[edit]
This Is Hell formed in June 2004 when Long Island musicians and members of The Backup Plan, Scraps and Heart Attacks, and Subterfuge got together after their previous bands broke up. The name of the band was originally the title of an Elvis Costello song. The band quickly released a four song self titled demo EP which was later pressed onto vinyl via Boston label Run for Cover Records & in Europe via Broken Glasses Records. Pressings of the EP sold out quickly and was very well received. The demo gained enough popularity to later be reissued.[2] In support of this demo, the band played over 200 live shows in one year.[3]
First EP and Sundowning (2005–2007)[edit]
After the release of their demo and in between touring, the band started working on their next release, a self titled EP. It was released on May 16, 2005 on State of Mind Records. Later that year, the band caught the attention of hardcore punk record label Trustkill Records. The president of Trustkill, Josh Grabelle, stated:
|Originally, I liked their work ethic, they were out there working really hard, doing things that a lot bands wouldn't do without a bigger record deal, for example touring Europe and putting an EP out. When I went to see them, I got the amazing feeling that I used to get watching hardcore bands a really long time ago, something I haven't felt in years. Travis' stage presence was amazing, and I knew they had something. I approached them pretty much out of the blue and signed them.
|— Josh Grabelle, [4]
The band signed to Trustkill shortly after that, and began to work on their debut album Sundowning to be released on their new label. In May 2006 the album was released and received a very warm reception. Larger magazines including Alternative Press, Metal Hammer, and Rock Sound started featuring the small-time Long Island band, creating a rise in popularity. Their slow rise to fame was also due to their non-stop touring. In 2006 and 2007, This Is Hell participated in the Sounds of the Underground tour which rivaled Ozzfest. In this tour they played alongside As I Lay Dying, Trivium, In Flames, GWAR, Shadows Fall, Every Time I Die and others. In 2006 they were invited to play in the Taste of Chaos tour[5] and the Saints & Sinners Festival. During this time This Is Hell also toured with Comeback Kid, Endwell, It Dies Today, Parkway Drive, Cancer Bats, Glassjaw, Lostprophets, Bayside and several others.[4]
In April 2006, This Is Hell members Rick Jimenez and Dan Bourke were interested in starting a side project. The two started recruiting local hardcore punk musicians from Long Island and soon formed Soldiers. The band went on to independently release The Tombstone EP, and a full-length album, The End of Days, through Trustkill Records. Soldiers has played live with This Is Hell on a few tours. For these shows, Jimenez and Bourke would play in both bands each night.[6]
After the amicable departure of bassist/lyricist Jeff Tiu and the parting of ways with guitarist Joe Osolin, Johnny Moore (ex-Subterfuge, ex-Asternaut) took over on bass as well as becoming the main lyricist, and Chris Reynolds took over second guitar duties. Jeff Tiu went on to front LIHC band Ice Age with Chris Mazella (ex-Subterfuge, current Soldiers) on guitar.
Before the close of 2007, This Is Hell released two more EPs exclusively on 7" vinyl records. The first EP, titled Cripplers (EP) featured cover songs, unreleased songs, and one brand new song. The new song called "Infected" was later found on the band's second studio album, but was added to this EP to give fans a taste before the release of the new album. The second EP was a split record with Cancer Bats. This EP featured one new song from each band and one cover of the other band.
Misfortunes (2008–2009)[edit]
After several years of non stop touring with larger bands on festival tours, and smaller bands on underground tours, This Is Hell gathered much inspiration for their second studio album titled Misfortunes. With this album, the band created a new more aggressive and raw sound not found on previous efforts. Only a few days after the release the band embarked on their first headlining tour, which included a full US tour followed by a small European tour. After the Euro tour, Chris Reynolds left the band to pursue his project Kill The Frontman and returned to life in upstate NY. The band did a short US/Canadian tour, now as a 4 piece, with Blacklisted, although Blacklisted didn't make it across the border into Canada.
In October, a small "early press" of the This is Hell/Nightmare of You split 7" from Run For Cover Records was released. From the fall of 08-early winter of 09, This is Hell did more touring throughout the US with bands of all genres. Oct/Nov with Four Year Strong, I Am The Avalanche & A Loss For Words. November with Gravemaker. December with Evergreen Terrace, Four Letter Lie & Casey Jones. Jan/Feb with Funeral for a Friend, The Sleeping & Emarosa. After the last mentioned tour, Dan Bourke left the band and joined fellow long island group, Stray From The Path. Dennis Wilson took over on drums for a Europe headlining tour with Dead Swans and The Blackout Argument.
Weight of the World & Black Mass (2010–present)[edit]
This Is Hell mutually split with their label, Trustkill Records, and signed with Rise Records.[7] With new recruits Andrew Jones (bass) and Benny Mead (drums) they released an EP through Think Fast! Records in 2009 called Warbirds. The EP featured covers and new songs, some of which would later appear on their third studio album Weight of the World, which was released on June 8, 2010 through Rise Records.
October 11, 2011 saw the release of This Is Hell's fourth full-length studio album Black Mass.
It was announced on the 17th April 2012 that This Is Hell will be playing the Lock Up stage at Leeds and Reading festival.

Windows says folders are empty when they aren't
I'm having a very strange issue after I did a boot time virus scan in Avast to remove a virus. Avast seems to have removed the virus just fine, however I can't get Windows to show directories or files any more.
If I open Windows Explorer and go to C:\Users it says the folder is empty. However if I right click and select properties, it calculates the folder as 10.8 GB. I can still log in fine and run software etc. This problem isn't just in the C:\Users folder. My library directories show empty and I was immediately afraid I lost all of my pictures because searching for *.jpg on my system yields no results. However, I remembered the exact path to one of the file names and sure enough it opened the picture. For example when I enter the exact address in Windows Explorer: C:\Users\MyUserName\Pictures\2011\MyPic.jpg it opens. But if I list C:\Users\MyUserName\Pictures\2011 it says "folder is empty".
One more thing to mention is that I tried browsing files through the command prompt. Whenever I try to do a directory listing with the dir command I get the error: Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is 2AEE-FDC8. File not found. However, I can still cd into existing directories that I know exist. I just can't list the directories or files.
Unfortunately I upgraded to Windows 7 SP1 right after this happened because I thought it might fix the problem. Now I can't do a system restore to the point where my computer wasn't having this problem. I could really use some help with this issue as I've never seen it before. My only other option is to re-install my OS but I would lose my files. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Unfortunately, although quite a few programs can remove various malware, they can not repair the damage such malware caused.
Simple spyware can usually be completely removed, and the system is not damaged. Other stuff like Trojans, more complex spyware, rootkits, and similar stuff, cause damage to the system. This damage remains even after removing what caused it.
In your particular situation I would run a FULL scan with the free version of this;
and see what it says.
Then I would run a full scan with this;
SUPERAntiSpyware.com | Remove Malware | Remove Spyware - AntiMalware, AntiSpyware, AntiAdware!
and see what it says.
If both come up clean, then you can try to repair whatever damage the malware did to your system, although this is rarely successful, as it is difficult...impossible to find out what damage it did.
Once you have removed all the malware, it is usually best to reinstall a clean system. You should backup what you need AFTER scanning it for malware.
Scan ALL partitions and drives!

Oh man. I feel like an idiot. The virus must have hidden all those folders because I explicitly made sure to never hide files previously. Sure enough it was as simple as hidden folders. I think I may just grab my files now that I can see them and re-install to be safe. Thanks for the help and sorry I missed the obvious.

I just recently had the same problem where I could see all my main folders but once I clicked on them all it would say was "this folder is empty". I was thinking the virus deleted my files, but I had also checked the properties and it would give me the size of my original folder. I recently cleaned Exploit:Java/CVE-2010-0840.A and Exploit:Java/CVE-2011-3544.A from my computer (or at least quarantined them because there was a lock in the file where I couldn't delete them, even in safe mode) I read the first reply and my heart dropped to the floor thinking the virus had done irreparable damage to my system and files and then I continued to read and I tried the show hidden files (which I thought about and then said nah couldn't be that when i was banging my head against the counter) and it worked. Again thanks to this post that saved my files. My question is, the "java" updater (from the virus) is still coming up on my computer even though it's quarantined and I don't know how to completely delete it. Does anyone know what I can do? I ran a full scan in safe mode and that's when I was able to quarantine it, but I can't delete it because it say's it's locked.
Oh also, is there anyway to figure out which files are suppose to be hidden. I had to go back through and unhide all my files but I don't want to delete something by accident one day.

Rochester, NY – This season's 85th anniversary of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra has inspired a generous group of RPO donors to establish the RPO 85th Anniversary Fund, offering a $285,000 matching challenge gift for new and increased donations to this season's RPO Annual Campaign. Every new or increased contribution will be matched dollar for dollar, raising an additional $285,000 for the RPO and helping to reach its $2.4 million Annual Campaign goal. "We are grateful to the 85th Anniversary Fund for its generous challenge in support of our RPO Annual Campaign," said RPO Board Chair Jim Boucher. "These donations help to secure the future of this quality Orchestra to continue inspiring and enriching the next generation through the art of music."
The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra Annual Campaign is supported by donations, large and small, from the Rochester community. Since 1922, annual charitable contributions have provided the foundation for the RPO's deep and enduring commitment to serving the region through a variety of programs. Thanks to its education and outreach programs, nearly one half of the children and adults who experience the RPO attend free of charge. The depth and breadth of these programs are made possible through generous donor support of the Annual Campaign.
Donations can be made by phone at (585) 454-7311 x252, at www.rpo.org for secure online donations 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or through the mail at: RPO 85th Anniversary Challenge, 108 East Avenue, Rochester, NY 14604.
Celebrating its 85th season in 2007-08, the RPO inspires and enriches the community through the art of music. The Orchestra is passionately dedicated to outstanding musical performance at the highest artistic levels, and has a unique tradition of musical versatility, commitment to music education in the broadest sense and a deep and enduring engagement with the community. The RPO has been honored with the New York State Governor's Arts Award and two recent ASCAP awards for adventurous programming.
RPO performances are made possible in part with grants from the National Endowment for the Arts; the New York State Council on the Arts, a State Agency; the State of New York; Monroe County; and the City of Rochester.

No. They do not produce it "somehow" but by two very simple means... by either chemical action in the pyramids, effectively built to survive an explosion or by pumping loads of electricity though saline or corrupted water using stone cirles like Stonehenge as giant dynamos.

I've always thought they were built as a reflection of the Egyptians' developing technology and beliefs. From pit graves to mastaba to pyramids made sense to me. All the graves and workers' towns surrounding the pyramid complexes and quarries seemed to prove that they were actually built by humans.
After years on ATS, I now think it's more likely that the rocks were flown in from Mars by aliens. They needed to balance the Earth, open a dimensional portal and create a machine of stone that would extend the life-time of blunt razor blades. They had to build this technology from roughly-shaped blocks because metal would have been too obvious. When they fell short of a few blocks, they made them by pouring concrete.

Three held in Libor probe named
Three men arrested in connection with an investigation into the manipulation of Libor, the interbank lending rate, were an ex-trader who worked for UBS and two interdealer brokers, according to a report.
The arrests were made on Tuesday in London, the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) said. Tom Hayes, 33, a former trader who has worked in London and Tokyo and who specialised in products pegged to yen-dominated Libor, was taken to Bishopsgate police station following a search of his home, the Financial Times reported.
Terry Farr and Jim Gilmour, two employees of RP Martin, a London-based interdealer broker, and believed to be known to Hayes, were also questioned, the newspaper said.
At the height of the banking scandal this summer, the SFO revealed it had been working closely with the Financial Services Authority (FSA). The Government department, which is responsible for investigating and prosecuting serious and complex fraud, launched an inquiry into the entire banking sector.
It came after a number of traders at Barclays were found to have rigged Libor to boost profits and bonus rewards, while the bank was also accused of lowering submissions in a bid to alter the perception of the lender's finances.
The claims ultimately led to the resignation of Barclays boss Bob Diamond, sparked a criminal investigation and became the focal point of a bitter row in Westminster over ethics in the banking sector.
The arrests follow speculation that Swiss banking giant UBS has started settlement talks with regulators over alleged Libor rigging. UBS is reportedly on course to reach an agreement before Christmas and is facing a fine of more than 450 million US dollars (£280 million).
Around 20 financial institutions have been investigated over the alleged rigging of benchmark interest rates which govern 500 trillion US dollars (£310 trillion) of contracts worldwide, ranging from household mortgages to complex derivatives products.
Taxpayer-backed Royal Bank of Scotland has previously said it hopes to settle any claims over Libor manipulation soon and warned that potential penalties could be significant.
Focus on the banking sector has intensified once again as HSBC revealed a 1.9 billion US dollars (£1.2 billion) settlement for failing to comply with anti-money laundering rules, and Standard Chartered paid out an additional 327 million dollars (£203 million) over allegations that it breached sanctions over Iran.

Illegal tobacco trade "makes £29m profit"
Around 350 million cigarettes are sold annually without paying duty, almost half illegally, the company behind Gallaher's Tobacco in Ballymena said.
In many cases no arrests are possible because no-one is apprehended with the containers of cigarettes, Japan Tobacco International told a House of Commons hearing.
The hearing is part of the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee's inquiry into fuel laundering and other smuggling and illegal trading by organised crime gangs in Northern Ireland.
Paul Williams, head of corporate affairs at Japan Tobacco International, said: "If you look at the average price that would be sold at on the streets, that is the equivalent of a £29m profit in 12 months."
He said the criminals were opportunists, taking advantage of the recent increase in the cost of cigarettes as well as the wider economic woe to offer black market product.
"It challenges people's moral compass as to whether they decide to buy an illicit make as opposed to buying a legitimate make," Mr Williams said.
He added it was of huge concern to his business.
Mr Williams said smokers in Northern Ireland consume around two billion cigarettes a year and 17%, or 350 million, of them are non-duty paid, meaning a revenue loss of £85m.
Tom O'Caroll, director of corporate affairs at Calor Gas Northern Ireland, also said gangs could be making up to £2m a year from potentially unsafe refills.
"We would certainly be of the opinion that that is a figure that is on the increase," he said.
Calor Gas is one of the largest suppliers of bottled gas in Northern Ireland and is subject to considerable regulation when refilling pressurised gas canisters.
The firm has said illegal gangs can make money by obtaining used canisters and refilling them themselves, without the same safety checks.

Shimano have retained the traditional close cassette ratios from previous editions of Dura-Ace, but with the new R9100 groupset they have also introduced a wide range 11-30T cassette.
The cassette is manufactured from a lightweight alloy and carbon fibre spider that houses 6 alloy sprockets and 5 titanium sprockets. The largest sprockets are manufactured from titanium to keep the weight low. The sprockets are also extensively cut away and drilled to further reduce weight without reducing rigidity.
The very best and quickest shifts are optimised thanks to the Hyperglide EV sprockets that have a computer designed tooth configuration with contoured shift gates.
All cassettes in the range will be compatible with the one rear derailleur so you can easily swap your cassettes out based on terrain.
Cassettes and freewheels for bikes are a cluster of sprockets in a range of sizes offering a multitude of gear ratios. The difference between the two is, a cassette slots onto the freehub, which has the ratchet built in and is then secured with a lockring, whereas a freewheel is a cluster of sprockets built around a ratchet and threads directly on to the hub. Cassettes and freewheels come in many ratios, close ratio is when the number of teeth increase in small increments of 1 or 2 at a time, whereas a wide ratio is when the teeth increase in larger increments of 3 or 4 at a time. Most systems will use a cassette hub as these allow for a wider bearing spacing and increased axle life, you can also fit a larger quantity of sprockets onto a cassette hub with 11 speed systems now becoming available. With cassettes you must use the appropriate spacing for your gear levers and rear mech, Shimano and Campagnolo are not interchangeable so you will need to match the cassette to your levers for smooth and precise shifting. Sram and Shimano chains and cassettes will work together as they use the same spacing.
Shimano are the makers of the world's most well known cycle component brand. Established in 1921 when the first cycle freewheel was forged. Shimano produce drivetrains, wheels, pedals, shoes, cycling clothing and pretty much every Shimano cycle accessory you can think of! Famous for their top end products ridden by the pro's, Dura-Ace and XTR, which cover both road and MTB's. At Shimano, they're doing everything they can to respond to heightened environmental concerns. Shimano are proud to be a producer of bicycle components that help people to enjoy outdoor sports and interact with nature through healthy non-polluting activities. In their 87 plus years of existence Shimano have accumulated a wealth of technology and product development and expertise that serves as the driving force behind their continually evolving product line.

The Whitby Gazette makes an appearance this week in the cathedral of Brazilian football, the Maracana Stadium.
Rick Stead, who has helped to produce the World Cup anthem Bring It Home, is pictured reading the Gazette during the Argentina v Bosnia game on Sunday night.
A member of the Whitby band Moonwreck, Rick said he would sing the song at the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio if it got into the charts. England's next game in the tournament is Thursday's crunch clash against Uruguay.

Addicting the starving masses
One of the things I recalled from my childhood was grownups (especially my parents) talking about helping the "starving people in India" or the "starving masses of China."
Of course, the story has changed considerably in intervening 40 years. Particularly in the past two decades, elements of both Indian and Chinese society have enjoyed rapid economic growth and (in some cases) a developed country standard of living, driven in varying degrees by exports of software and electronics, respectively. Still, with billions in rural poverty between the two countries, the mean GDP in both countries remains low ($3,700 & $7,600) relative to more developed countries (e.g. $24,200 in Korea or $30,900 for Singapore).
One of the problems for Western (particularly US) firms has been the high level of IP piracy: people are consuming the information goods (software, movies, music) of more advanced companies, but they're not paying for them. The issues are complex (as I discussed in a 1995 article). There is also the prospect of change: Japan has dropped from 67% in 1994 to 27% in 2006.
Still (potentially biased) industry estimates place "business" software piracy rates as 82% in China and 70% in India. As with teenagers and music, the motivations boil down to two. One is they can't pay (or don't want to). The other is that they don't have to, because free, copyright-defying alternatives are available.
One response has been to try to export US-based tactics, like seizing bootleg CDs and DVDs. While this may work in Silicon Valley or Los Angeles, developing country enforcement officials haven't made it a priority. After China joined the WTO in 2001, the hope was that the TRIPS agreement would be enough to force cooperation from WTO countries. And at one point I heard (second hand) that an industry executive working in piracy in China did not feel safe living in China, but instead lived in Hong Kong and only visited China when the authorities were willing to conduct a showy seizure.
Microsoft in particular faces a difficult set of choices. As elsewhere in the world, they want people to get used to using their software, both to create switching costs/lock-in and also a supply of complements (software, books, training, etc.). On the one hand, using the software without paying gets consumers (as with Napsterized US college students) accustomed to never paying; on the other hand, saying "pay or else" could create millions or billions of Linux users.
The problem is particularly severe in China, where Linux is being promoted by Red Flag Linux (a local champion) and widely used for embedded products. In India, there are many companies servicing the global IT industry, and for these companies ignoring Windows is not an option.
Earlier this month, Microsoft introduced its latest strategy, a license for XP and Office in developing countries that goes for $3. (Of course, as Infoworld notes, Google apps are free, and Microsoft has a few conditions).
This particular initiative seems designed to pre-empt any official government endorsement for competing operating systems. One impetus is the One Laptop Per Child announcement last week that its $176 computer is due later this year — and appears to now run Windows. OCPLC is a big deal, because if millions of young kids get hooked on some alternative (like Linux), that's millions that won't be hooked on Microsoft product.
Back in the 19th century, other Westerners wanted to get the Chinese addicted to their exports, and the result was two wars. (I'll admit, the parallel is a stretch). Many scholars of Chinese history would argue that in the past 150 years, the top goal of the Chinese government has been to become independent of such foreign control or influence. Microsoft's prices are attractive, and they have the WTO on their side, but they clearly are swimming upstream.

Zoning guide to using the Marine Park
If you are planning a fishing or boating trip to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, you will need to know where you can go and what you can do, as penalties apply if you do not follow zoning rules.
All zones contribute to the protection of the Reef. The level of protection increases from the General Use Zone up to the most restrictive Preservation Zone. Each zone has different rules for the activities that are allowed, the activities that are prohibited and the activities that require a permit.
Zones may also place restrictions on how some activities are conducted.
Special Management Areas manage access or use of a specific area, and are an additional layer on top of zoning.
You should get to know the area you are going to and what you can do there.

Lies I have told
Have you ever blamed food poisoning when really you just drank too much the night before? Fess up if you too have done this. Or tell me if you are such an angel that you would NEVER consider such a thing! I once had to miss a Jane Radio show because I had been out with my friend Colloon (changing vowels to protect anonymity) late the night before and I swore (even to myself) that it was the mussels we ate. Another question: How do you feel about alcoholic parents who ask their kids to mix or bring them their drinks? I like not to judge period, but it does make me sad. I know this isn't a question with such facile answers, but I'm just thinking about it.

Shop Footlets Online - Shopping Information
There are small tricks which can make even the hardest shoes more comfortable to wear. One of them is to put footlets on. These hosiery items for women, also known as sockettes and foot covers, remain perfectly invisible when you are wearing shoes and give you maximum comfort. They prevent skin rubbing and slipping at the same time. They are truly invaluable for the modern woman.
The footlets are socks which cover the sole, the toes and the sides of the feet. They leave the top part of the feet open. They do not slip or fall off because they have a special band which holds them in place. All of these factors make them ideal for all kinds of footwear.
The foot covers are ideal for office shoes especially in the summer months when it is too hot to wear stockings or pantyhose. Your shoes will feel super comfortable while your legs will not be covered. Footlets are great for new shoes the leather of which is not particularly soft. They will prevent the rubbing of leather against the skin and will save you a considerable amount of pain and discomfort.
With sockettes, you will never have to worry about your feet slipping inside the shoes. Footwear lining can be slippery because of the material which it is made from or because the feet become sweaty. In either case, the footlets are the ideal solution to the problem. They will prevent your feet from slipping inside the shoes and you will feel comfortable and confident enough to walk and even to dance.
You can buy top quality footlets made from different fabrics. There are models made entirely from nylon and ones made from a combination of nylon and elastane. These are usually sheer and quite light. There are also cotton blend socks of this type. They are made especially for casual and sports shoes. The cotton works to keep your feet warm and to take moisture away from the skin. You will enjoy your activity to the fullest when wearing such socks.
Choose footlets from popular designer brands when shopping and you will be able to use them for a long time to come. These hosiery items are of excellent quality and have super durability. They will not become loose. The risk of tears, holes and runs is completely eliminated. You will enjoy easy washing and quick drying. These are important properties for modern women and men as well.
The purpose of these foot covers is to give you comfort while remaining invisible. However, this does not mean that the choice of colour is not important. Footlets in nude will blend in with the tone of your skin and remain invisible. The ones in black will blend in with black shoes even if parts of them remain visible when you put the footwear on. It is a good strategy to choose the colour of these socks so that it matches the colour of the shoes which you are wearing.
You can now buy top quality designer footlets at super cheap stockist prices when shopping for women's hosiery online. Select from numerous sale items and save a lot with a big discount. Your purchase will be delivered timely to your doorstep when you shop online. Enjoy low shipping rates to any place in Australia including Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide, Hobart and Darwin.

The sun rises everyday on the mistake by the lake. The murky waters of the Cuyahoga River ooze into Lake Erie, the shallowest and most dangerous of the Great Lakes. The waters mix and then Lake Erie vomits legions of dead carp and steelhead onto it's plastic garbage covered shores. It feels like heaven on the street where nobody lives.
Seattle's best (coffee) Tacocat is currently on a brief east coast tour with Philly's best (cheesesteak) Slutever. After stepping off of a plane into the clutches of the rest of the country's balmy weather, Emily could only remark, "...the hot Philly air makes me feel like I just peed my pants in the best possible way."
There's a pizza restaurant in Cleveland called Happy's, the Yelp reviews aren't exactly glowing. Yelp user Daniel B. ends his review, "VERY GHETTO and VERY HORRIBLE!!!! STAY AWAY!!!" Although I'm from Cleveland, I've never heard of the place until Emily Nokes brought it up over text message, "This Greek salad is mostly just fist sized chunks of feta cheese."

It's important to eat healthy on the road. Though expensive, Babybel brand cheese discs are a natural and convenient snack. Leleh Maupin keeps hers from melting by draping them over the air conditioner vent.

Aside from rust and people in sweat suits, Cleveland has cats. Here's a photo of one from the 71st Door punk house. I remember the area of 71st and Chester being pretty gnarly. After I ask, Emily describes the area as desolate and dark. There was a band called Liquor Store before TacocaT. We both discussed how they'd be hard to look up on the internet. "HELLO CLEVELAND, WE ARE YAHOO GOOGLE!" I just looked them up, it took five seconds to find them.
Further dispatches from the TacocaT twitter account:
"my favorite was the talk dirty to me challenge where they hooked his dick up to a bone-o-meter"
"why was that guy pointing at our van? Now I'm just worried there's a guy with a hook on the roof or something"
"okay laugh it up right now, because the nicknames 'lumpy' and 'tuna foot' expire today."
"I hate to say it, but this Lisa Frank app is the worst. It's really slow and frustrating and I don't know how work it."
"Should I put this Jersey Shore sticker on my bass or what?"
- emily nokes
TacocaT traded a CD for admission into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They brushed their teeth in the bathroom. There's currently a Grateful Dead exhibit at the museum, but not much was said about the visit. What does the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame do with all of the CDs they get as admission? I'm working reception at Sub Pop as I type this, and some guy just asked if he could drop off his band's CD in person. I told him that I would take it and that I don't really have any sort of influence. He told me that he was "old school" and wanted to hand it off in person. He should be coming in shortly. He said it was a "million seller."
- emily nokes
Members of TacocaT ultimately enjoyed Cleveland, Ohio. Baltimore was deemed the "craziest" city so far. After playing at the punk house, TacocaT & Slutever slept in a
building that was once a funeral home. The girl hosting them has a Morrissey tattoo on her arm. "Can I ask her questions about Morrissey?" I texted Emily. She replied maybe later, if there was time. Soon they were all asleep after watching Wayne's World 2. The girl least likely to, indeed.

Sometime around the 28th week, I stopped being able to run. Round Ligament pain, or the strain on a ligament that stretches from 1″ to 6″ with the expanding uterus, sends shooting pain up the side of my belly if I try running. I'll just stick to fast walking and all the exercise I CAN do, including yoga, weight lifting, body pump, biking, etc. until the baby arrives.
So my hopes of sweeping the maternity division at the Turkey Trot were dashed. Mariel joined me in walking the entire 5 miles at a pretty good clip, bringing me in DEAD LAST out of 5 preggers in the timed division. I personally think they should have accounted for how pregnant we were, since one girl did it in 8 min miles! My ~14 minute pace also included taking nourishment in the form of chocolate sour cream donuts, and a stop in the parking garage to pee. Now that's how a maternity division race is run!

10 and Some More
Lesson 4 of 5
Objective: SWBAT add single digit numbers. SWBAT compare numbers to twenty and how they relate to ten. SWBAT determine a given expression for a given expression.
Big Idea: Your students will play a game where they combine two single digit numbers and then record that total in terms of how it relates to ten.
Thomas Young
Warm Up
I start today's lesson by having the students gather and face the Smart Board. Using the Quick Flash Dot Cards, I will flash three sets of three dots for two seconds. I will ask them to figure out how many dots there are and then share their strategy.
"I am going to flash a set of dots for a few seconds. Your job is to figure out how many dots there are in total. I will then ask people to come up and explain their thinking to the class. While students are sharing, I want you to compare it to your strategy and decide if it is the same or different."
I then repeat this process with 5, 3, & 2 dot cards and 3, 3, & 4 dot cards.
As students explain their thinking to the class, they are trying to communicate precisely to others. They are using clear definitions in discussion with others and in their own reasoning. They are stating how they found the total and their rationale for how they saw it (CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP6)
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
Introducing 10 and Some More
Advanced Preparation: You will need to print the 10 and Some More and you will need a set of playing cards or ten frame cards (1-10 without face cards)
I will introduce this game by playing a sample game with a volunteer.
"I want to teach you a new game today. In order to play, you will need this game board and a deck of cards. This game is played with two players. The first player flips two cards from the deck. Let's say I turned over a 6 & 7. How many is that all together? How do you know? Let's write the equation on the board. Now I need to record this on the game board.
I don't see a 6+7 column. Using cubes, I want you to work with a partner and figure out where 6+7 could be recorded and also be ready to tell me why you think your reasoning is correct."
You are looking to see if students can make a combination of ten and some more because students are needing to find an equivalent 10 and some more total. Some students will build two towers and then pull from one to make a tower of ten and have some left. Other students will just know 6+4 is ten and then there are 3 left.
"I noticed that Emma built a tower of 13 because she knew 7+6=13. She then broke off ten and noticed there were three left. So 13 is 10+3. Emma would then record 7+6=13 on her recording sheet under the 10+3 column."
I will play three or four more practice rounds and then have the students go off and work on this activity. As I am modeling how to play, i am also recording on a 10 and Some More recording sheet, so that they can see who to fill it out.
NOTE: You may need to review the > sign before playing this game as it's an important piece of the game board. It is good to make sure everyone understands this symbol and what it represents on the game board.
This activity has the students using the Associative Property of Addition. If students were to add 2 + 6 + 4, the second two numbers can be added to make a ten, so 2 + 6 + 4 = 2 + 10 = 12 (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.B.3).

Resources (2)
Playing the Game
Students play the game 10 and Some More. They will work with a partner on this activity. As students are working, you will want to circulate and notice:
- How do students solve the equation. Do they use cubes and build each number, combine them, and then break off ten and some more?
- Do they mentally take some from one number and add it to another (to create ten) and then add the remaining?
- Are they using known facts and relating them to ten and some more?
I have included a Playing Ten and Some More clip of a student playing this game.
This activity asks the students to make sense of quantities and their relationships in problem situations. They are manipulating numbers to create a group of ten and then adding the remaining ones that were left (CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP2).
Students are also recording their thinking by writing equations that are equivalent to 10 and some more. CCSS expects students to represent their thinking with mathematics (CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP4).

Lesson Wrap Up
I ask the students to gather back in a circle on the carpet. I give them each 20 cubes to use as a tool to aid in the discussion.
"I want to work on a few problems with you and ask you to explain how you figured out how to record different equations on the game board. Let's say we start with 8+6. How would you figure out which column to record this equation in. Who can explain their thinking? I have included a clip, Describing Solution for 10 and Some More, of a student's response."
I will repeat this sequence with a few more examples.
This discussion asks students to construct a viable argument and defend their thinking through discussion and dialogue (CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP3).
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Continued Practice
I will ask the students to meet me on the carpet and hand out their sheet for today's Mad Minute exercise. This routine was introduced in a previous lesson. Please check out the link to get a full overview of this routine.
I want to really focus on fact fluency and build upon the students ability to solve within ten fluently (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.C.6). I am going to use the Mad Minute Routine. This is a very "old school" routine, but I truly feel students need practice in performing task for fluency in a timed fashion. Students need to obtain fact fluency in order to have success with multiplicative reasoning. Students who don't gain this addition fact fluency by the end of 2nd grade tend to struggle with the multiplicative reasoning in third. Having this fluency also allows them to work on more complex tasks because the have the fact recall to focus on the higher level concepts.
