TI does not recommend using this part in a new design. This product continues to be in production to support existing customers.
TMS320DM814x DaVinci video processors are highly integrated, programmable platforms that leverage the DaVinci processor technology to meet the processing needs of the following applications to name a few: HD Video Conferencing - Skype endpoints Video Surveillance DVRs IP Netcam Digital Signage Media Players and Adapters Mobile Medical Imaging Network Projectors Home Audio and Video Equipment
The device enables Original-Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Original-Design Manufacturers (ODMs) to quickly bring to market devices featuring robust operating systems support, rich user interfaces, and high processing performance through the maximum flexibility of a fully integrated mixed processor solution. The device also combines programmable video and audio processing with a highly integrated peripheral set.
The TMS320DM814x DaVinci video processors also present OEMs and ODMs with new levels of processor scalability and software reuse. An OEM or ODM that used the AM387x processors in a design and can make a similar product with added features could scale up to the pin-compatible and software-compatible TMS320DM814x processors from TI. The TMS320DM814x DaVinci video processors add a powerful C674x DSP core along with a video encoder and decoder to the hardware on the AM38x. Additionally, OEMs or ODMs that have used the AM387x or DM814x processors and find a need for a faster ARM and DSP core performance could scale up to the software-compatible AM389x or TMS320DM816x devices with higher core speeds.
Programmability is provided by an ARM Cortex-A8 RISC CPU with Neon extension, TI C674x VLIW floating-point DSP core, and high-definition video and imaging coprocessors. The ARM lets developers keep control functions separate from A/V algorithms programmed on the DSP and coprocessors, thus reducing the complexity of the system software. The ARM Cortex-A8 32-Bit RISC Core with Neon floating-point extension includes: 32KB of Instruction cache; 32KB of Data cache; 512KB of L2 Cache; 48KB of Boot ROM; and 64KB of RAM.
The rich peripheral set provides the ability to control external peripheral devices and communicate with external processors. For details on each of the peripherals, see the related sections in this document and the associated peripheral reference guides. The peripheral set includes: HD Video Processing Subsystem Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet MACs (10/100/1000 Mbps) [Ethernet Switch] with MII/RMII/GMII/RGMII and MDIO interface supporting IEEE 1588 Time-Stamping and Industrial Ethernet ProtocolsTwo USB ports with integrated 2.0 PHY PCIe x1 GEN2 Compliant interfaceTwo 10-serializer McASP audio serial ports (with DIT mode)Four quad-serilaizer McASP audio serial ports (with DIT mode)One McBSP multichannel buffered serial portSix UARTs with IrDA and CIR supportFour SPI serial interfacesThree MMC/SD/SDIO serial interfacesFour I2C master and slave interfaces Parallel Camera Interface (CAM)Up to 128 General-Purpose I/Os (GPIOs)Eight 32-bit general-purpose timers System watchdog timer Dual DDR2, and DDR3 SDRAM interfacesFlexible 8- or 16-bit asynchronous memory interfaceTwo Controller Area Network (DCAN) modulesSpin LockMailboxSerial Hard Disk Drive Interface (SATA 300)
The TMS320DM814x DaVinci video processors also include a high-definition video and imaging coprocessor 2 (HDVICP2), and an SGX530 3D graphics engine to off-load many video and imaging processing tasks from the DSP core, making more DSP MIPS available for common video and imaging algorithms. Additionally, it has a complete set of development tools for both the ARM and DSP, which include C compilers, a DSP assembly optimizer to simplify programming and scheduling, and a Microsoft® Windows® debugger interface for visibility into source code execution.
The C674x DSP core is the high-performance floating-point DSP generation in the TMS320C6000 DSP platform and is code-compatible with previous generation C64x Fixed-Point and C67x Floating-Point DSP generation. The C674x Floating-Point DSP processor uses 32KB of L1 program memory with EDC and 32KB of L1 data memory. Up to 32KB of L1P can be configured as program cache. The remaining memory is noncacheable no-wait-state program memory. Up to 32KB of L1D can be configured as data cache. The remaining memory is noncacheable no-wait-state data memory. The DSP has 256KB of L2 RAM with ECC, which can be defined as SRAM, L2 cache, or a combination of both. All C674x L3 and off-chip memory accesses are routed through an MMU.

The Site Identity Button is a Firefox security feature that gives you more information about the sites you visit. You can quickly find out if the website you are viewing is encrypted, if it is verified, who owns the website, and who verified it. This should help you avoid malicious websites that are trying to obtain your personal information.
The Site Identity Button is in the Location bar to the left of the web address.
When viewing a website, the Site Identity Button will be one of five icons - a gray globe, a gray warning triangle, an orange warning triangle, a gray padlock, or a green padlock. Clicking on these icons will display identity and security information about the website.
Table of Contents
Gray globe
A gray globe indicates:
- The website does not supply identity information.
- The connection between Firefox and the website is not encrypted or only partially encrypted and should not be considered safe against eavesdropping.
Most websites will have the gray globe, because they don't involve passing sensitive information back and forth and do not need to have verified identities or encrypted connections. It applies to websites served over HTTP (not encrypted) or HTTPS (partially encrypted).
Gray warning triangle
A gray warning triangle indicates:
- The website does not supply identity information.
- The connection to this website is not fully secure because it contains unencrypted elements (such as images).
Orange warning triangle
An orange warning triangle indicates:
- The website does not supply identity information.
- The connection between Firefox and the website is only partially encrypted and doesn't prevent eavesdropping.
It implies that you've previously allowed the mixed active content served over HTTPS to be displayed for the website despite the risks.
Reloading the website will block back certain HTTP requests to lower threats, change the icon to its previous state (gray globe for mixed passive content and gray padlock otherwise) and display the content mixer shield icon. For information about the mixed content block, see Mixed content blocking in Firefox.
Gray padlock
A gray padlock indicates:
- The website's address has been verified.
- The connection between Firefox and the website is encrypted to prevent eavesdropping.
When a domain has been verified, it means that the people who are running the site have bought a certificate proving that they own the domain and it is not being spoofed. For example, Facebook has this sort of certificate and an encrypted connection, so the Site Identity Button displays a gray padlock. When you click on the padlock, it tells you that you are actually connected to facebook.com as certified by VeriSign Inc. It also assures you that the connection is encrypted so no one can eavesdrop on the connection and steal your Facebook login information that way.
However, it is not verified who actually owns the domain in question. There is no guarantee that facebook.com is actually owned by Facebook the company. The only things that are guaranteed is that the domain is a valid domain, and that the connection to it is encrypted.
Green padlock
A green padlock indicates:
- The website's address has been verified using an Extended Validation (EV) certificate.
- The connection between Firefox and the website is encrypted to prevent eavesdropping.
A green padlock plus the name of the company or organization in green means that website is using an Extended Validation (EV) certificate. An EV certificate is a special type of site certificate that requires a significantly more rigorous identity verification process than other types of certificates. While the gray padlock indicates that a site uses a secure connection, the green padlock indicates that the connection is secure and that the owners of the domain are who you would expect them to be.
With the EV certificate, the Site Identity Button assures you that paypal.com is owned by Paypal Inc., for example. Not only does the padlock turn green on the Paypal site, it also expands and displays the name of the owner in the button itself.
More Information Button
By clicking on "More Information" Firefox will show detailed information about the connection including the strength of the encryption. .

Power, knowledge and politics: Exploring the contested terrain of girl-focused interventions at the national launch of the United Nations Girls Education Initiative in The Gambia
Theory and Research in Education, SAGE Publications
Language: English
Download: http://tre.sagepub.com/content/10/3.toc
This article addresses these gaps in the literature through a qualitative examination of girls education policy in The Gambia, a country widely hailed as a leader in the promotion of gender equality in education. The article uses an analysis of the produced knowledge of World Bank and government documents alongside the findings from an ethnographic account of the United Nations Girls Education Initiative (UNGEI) national launch workshop in The Gambia to illustrate the central claim that girls education policy, on the ground, is more complex and contested than is suggested in the produced knowledge of donor and government documents. Moreover, the author's account of the UNGEI launch workshop serves to highlight some of the challenges and tensions associated with the globalnational interface of efforts to promote gender equality in education.

The basic philosophy of the Master of Science in Educational Administration is to impart to its students knowledge in academic fields, special skills in research and sharpened powers of independent thought. The program is designed to develop individuals who exercise leadership qualities to improve their effectiveness in education both personally and professionally, regardless of the area of emphasis, i.e. supervisor, elementary principal, secondary principal, assistant superintendent or superintendent.
The purposes and objectives of the Master of Science Program in Education are in keeping with Franciscan University of Steubenville's mission as well as being responsive to the interests and needs of teachers. The faculty and administration who support the program leading to a Master of Science Degree in Educational Administration express compatibility of the program with the mission, goals and convictions of Franciscan University of Steubenville.
The graduate program, through its faculty, seeks to create and maintain the academic milieu for excellence in graduate work. Therefore, its influence and encouragement extend first to its own members and their scholarly activities. Educators completing the Franciscan University of Steubenville Master of Science in Educational Administration program are individuals who bring to their position knowledge in academic fields, special skills in research, sharpened powers of thought and leadership abilities and qualities that include lifelong learning skills, problem solving, appropriate decision-making, maturation, coping abilities, responsibility, interpersonal skills, and effective time management. Yet, while it gives them the resources, the guidance, and the inspiration of a scholarly staff in its classrooms, laboratories, and libraries, it expects the students themselves to bring marked initiative and energies to their work and to assume full responsibility for the progress of their studies.
In short, graduate work for the student at Franciscan University of Steubenville has for its purpose an integrated program of advanced study based on adequate undergraduate preparation in a specific field. It presupposes academic and personal maturity and makes more than an average demand upon the initiative, the industry, and the scholarship of the candidate for an advanced degree.
Men and women graduates of approved colleges or universities who hold the Bachelor's Degree are eligible for admission. Applicants must have had adequate undergraduate preparation in their proposed fields of study and must show promise for pursuing higher studies satisfactorily.
Franciscan University of Steubenville accepts into its graduate program applicants who can present undergraduate records showing them capable of meeting the standards of graduate work. An applicant must hold a teacher's certificate or a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution, unless specific exceptions are granted, i.e. individual departmental evaluations by the Director of Graduate Education, and must have attained an undergraduate quality point average of at least 2.5 of a possible 4.0.

Andre Johnson didn't earn five Pro Bowl invites and a reputation as being one of the most dangerous wide receivers in the NFL by being a wallflower. But there's no denying that the Houston Texans is off to the quietest start of his 10-year career.
Through six games, the 31-year-old Johnson has caught 25 passes for 358 yards and two touchdowns. The number of receptions and receiving yards are the lowest to open a season in which he has played the first six contests.
Houston coach Gary Kubiak conceded that the team has trimmed about 20 snaps per game from Johnson's usual rotation in an effort to keep him healthy for the entire season, but Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees said he's not buying that as the sole reason for Johnson's reduced production.
"That and the fact that I've seen about four teams double him every snap might be a reason he's off to a slow season," Pees said Thursday. "There aren't a lot of people letting him run free. It's not like you don't know he's out there. So I think that will have something to do with it."
Kubiak agreed with Pees that defenses pay extra attention to Johnson, but Kubiak said he was heartened by Johnson's eight-catch, 75-yard outing in Sunday's 42-24 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
"My biggest goal for Andre is to have him available for this team 16 times this year and try to keep him healthy. But I thought he played real well last week," Kubiak said. "I think he's getting better each and every week. The good news is we've got some young players making some plays. So we've been able to spread the ball around a little bit, and that's usually what we do best. We've got a lot of people making plays and not just one or two guys."
Pees pointed out that the Texans' passing attack relies on the success of Arian Foster and the running game. If Foster is gaining yards, opposing defenses begin to adjust to contain Foster, and quarterback Matt Schaub can employ play-action calls to find Johnson, wide receiver Kevin Walter and tight end Owen Daniels downfield.
"They've made their big plays in that situation," Pees said. "It's not necessarily so much a passing attack like a third down on a wide-open thing like a New England. They've made most of their hay in the passing game off of their play-action. So to me, it's just having good zone eyes, or man eyes, whatever we might be in. We always talk, 'Keep your eyes on your luggage. Know who you have and keep your eyes on them.' We just have to be very disciplined in that. It goes right back to fundamentals and technique."
Regardless of Johnson's numbers, the Ravens would be wise to account for him. The wide receiver has enjoyed a good deal of success in his last two meetings with the Ravens, collecting 17 passes for 251 yards and two touchdowns.

Never mind that Metal Gear Solid 4 trailers have been popping up at the Tokyo Game Show for eons now. The game was first publicly shown at the 2005 TGS, and the ensuing years brought new trailers to boot. It all culminated in a hands-on MGS4 demo last year. This year there was still a MGS4 trailer — even though the game has been out for months. This year's MGS4 promotion at TGS was more a thank you to fans and an attempt to garner more interest in Metal Gear Online.
While in Tokyo for TGS, game site Siliconera tried gauging lasting retail shop interest in MGS4: Shinjuku shop Tsutaya is offering ¥500 ($6.74). There's one word for that and that is "ouch". For comparison sake, the same store is paying ¥3,800 ($51.51) for Cross Edge, ¥1,200 ($16.27) for Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, and ¥2,500 ($33.90) for the almost three-year-old Animal Crossing: Wild World.

The Great Alpine Road
Wangaratta to Metung
339 km/211 miles, about 5 hours
Wind your way along Victoria's Great Alpine Road, from Wangaratta in the north-east right across to Metung on the jaw-droppingly beautiful Gippsland Lakes.
The 339-kilometre adventure along Australia's highest year-round accessible sealed road takes you right up close to Victoria's diverse landscapes. Travel through lofty mountain ranges, down plunging valleys, into lush forests, and past rolling vineyards along the way to the sparkling waterways on Gippsland's coast.
If travelling to Mt Hotham or Dinner Plain you may like to try this route in reverse. Start in Gippsland and travel north from Bairnsdale, diverting west from Omeo.
Dine on fresh local produce and award winning cool climate wines, or catch your own lunch with a fishing line in a mountain stream or lake as you go.
Be guaranteed an amazing journey year-round, with warm weather walking, cycling, camping and high-adrenaline adventure opportunities an alternative to the perennially popular wintertime snow action.
Whatever the season you'll be sure of breathtaking views, unforgettable scenery and warm welcomes in the villages along the way.
Wangaratta to Bright
76 km/47 miles, about 1 hour
The Great Alpine Road starts (or ends) in friendly Wangaratta, with its beautiful gardens, period homes and love of music. Time your visit for the annual November jazz festival, when the city really kicks up its heels.
Making mouth-watering memories
Waste no time getting acquainted with the fine wine and local produce in the valleys along this northern leg of the Great Alpine Road, also characterised by spectacular scenery and crisp mountain air.
At Milawa call in at the famed Brown Brothers Epicurean Centre and Cellar Door, and sample your way through Milawa Cheese Factory. Meet the bold young winemakers who have poured new life into historic Rutherglen, famous for its muscats and fortifieds.
Detour to Beechworth, a village built on the wealth of the gold rush of the 1800s. Explore the historic honey granite buildings, including the courthouse where bushranger Ned Kelly's final trial commenced. Get a taste of Beechworth's booming food and wine scene and try for a reservation at the acclaimed Provenance or munch on pizza and beer at Bridge Road Brewers.
Alternatively, break your journey with a tasty pub meal at the Ovens Hotel, as travellers have been doing since 1854.
Alpine adventuring
Travel onwards to Mount Buffalo National Park and its unique rock formations. A gentle walk takes in waterfalls, granite formations and lookouts with great views of the Australian Alps, or you can be more extreme by heading out on horseback or two wheels. Rock climbers will be in their element at the summit of Mount Buffalo, also popular for cross-country or downhill skiing in winter.
This leg ends at Bright, a beautiful town on the Ovens River, filled with grand deciduous trees that are breathtaking in autumn. Mark the first stage of your drive with a memorable meal at Simone's, one of Victoria's most celebrated restaurants.
Side trips
Golden Heritage Drive
From Wangaratta, take the B500 to Tarrawingee, the C315 to Beechworth and Wooragee, the C352 to Yackandandah, then the C527 to Myrtleford. On your way you'll take in Tarrawingee's historic buildings, including St Peter's church, the Plough Inn and Carinya House. See Beechworth's 30-plus beautifully preserved National Trust-classified buildings and places of significance to the legend of bushranger Ned Kelly. Walk the tree lined streets of Yackandandah with its stately Victorian architecture.
Gourmet Food and Wine Drive
From Wangaratta, take the C521 to Oxley and turn left to Milawa and Oxley at the heart of the famed Milawa Gourmet Region, where you can taste fine wines at cellar doors, including the renowned Mediterranean styles of the nearby King Valley. Sample outstanding local produce, experience the hospitality of award-winning country hotels and fine dining restaurants, and pull over at farm gates to stock up on seasonal bounty. Loop back to Wangaratta or on to Myrtleford and beyond.
Mount Buffalo Drive
At Porepunkah take the C535 to Mount Buffalo and the top of Mount Buffalo Gorge for fantastic views of the High Country and the Alps, and numerous walking tracks for even more majestic vistas. In winter, hire cross country or downhill skis to get the adrenaline pumping.

Bright to Omeo
110 km/68 miles, about 2 hours
The second leg of the Great Alpine Road gives the route its name, travelling from leafy Bright into the High Country's breathtaking alpine area and onwards to the historic Gippsland town of Omeo.
Upwards to the Alps
Drag yourself away from the cafes and colours of Bright to ascend along the Great Alpine Road through charming Harrietville to the alpine resort of Mount Hotham. The landscape changes from alpine ash to snow gum forest and heathland as you climb.
Mount Hotham, Victoria's highest alpine village, offers 245 hectares of ski area, including a wide selection of downhill and cross-country trails for beginners as well as experienced skiers and snowboarders.
Take advantage of mild summer temperatures on Mount Hotham by trekking along fields of wildflowers, or horse riding and fishing. Take in the spectacular views from Danny's Lookout to the summit of Mount Feathertop, over the Alpine National Park and as far as Falls Creek and Mount Buffalo on a clear day. You can then follow the Razorback Trail, which takes you out along the exposed ridge, to the summit of Mount Feathertop, the second-highest mountain in the state.
Nestle in among the snowgums and the spring wildflowers in architecturally sensitive spaces in Dinner Plain, just 10 kilometres south of Mount Hotham. Dinner Plain is a popular centre for horseback trail rides, with local tour operators offering year-round treks through the High Country, as well as cross-country skiing in winter.
What goes up must come down
After conquering the alpine areas it's time to descend to the old gold town of Omeo as the landscape changes from alpine beauty to lush grazing fields. With vistas out over the Snowy Mountains and once the site of one of Victoria's richest goldfields, Omeo will quickly make an impression.
Side trips
Great Alpine Discovery Drive
An alternative route turns off the main route at Bright and follows the C536 to Tawonga Gap, the C531 to Mt Beauty, Bogong, Falls Creek and across the Bogong High Plains. Then join the C543 to Anglers Rest and Omeo. This road (closed in winter) takes you past historic cattlemen's huts and breathtaking views across the High Country, before connecting with the Omeo Highway to wind past the notable Blue Duck Inn at Anglers Rest and descend into Omeo.
Bogong Alpine Way
To see scenery like nothing else, veer off onto the 230-kilometre Bogong Alpine Way, on the Bogong High Plains Road which loops through Bright, Mount Beauty, Bogong, Falls Creek and over Dinner Plain and Mount Hotham and back to Bright.
HighlightsNational parks & reservesAlpine National ParkLose yourself in spectacular mountain landscapes, wild rivers, impressive escarpments, snow gum forests and wide open grasslands known as high plains.SkiingHotham Alpine ResortChallenge yourself on some of the best ski and snowboarding terrain in Australia at Mt Hotham, in the heart of the Victorian Alps where breathtaking views...Walking & hikingMt Feathertop via Razorback TrailHike the superb trail from Mt Hotham to the summit of Mt Feathertop following the sharp, craggy spine of the Razorback above the treeline.Outdoor activitiesHorse ridingGallop through stunning alpine scenery on trails traversed by Victoria's pioneering mountain cattlemen and The Man From Snowy River.
WatchVideosOmeo (1:52)
Omeo to Metung
153 km/95 miles, about 2 hours
Depart Omeo, the service centre for the local cattle, sheep and timber industries, getting one last glimpse at the original gold rush buildings lining the main street. Follow the Great Alpine Road south past Bairnsdale, East Gippsland's only city, and on to Metung, a starting point for exploring the spectacular Gippsland Lakes.
Travel temptations
You then come to Swifts Creek and Ensay, small towns with a long history of mining, grazing and timber milling and a modern day passion for freshly baked goods, just-picked fruit, and local wines. Next is Bruthen, a small rustic village overlooking the Tambo River with its very own brewery. Be tempted by a small refreshing ale before you explore the township's many heritage buildings.
Bustling Bairnsdale
Your last stop before Metung and the seemingly endless expanses of the Gippsland Lakes is Bairnsdale, on the banks of the Mitchell River and originally settled as an inland port. Bairnsdale is now a major gateway to Victoria's east, with everything you need and all the cafes and restaurants to sustain you for some time.
In Bairnsdale visit St Mary's Roman Catholic Church, the interior of which was painted in the 1930s by Francesco Floreani, attend an annual musical and sporting event, or explore the Mitchell River silt jetties that extend eight kilometres into nearby Lake King, whetting your appetite for an exploration of the impressive Gippsland Lakes network.
Life on the Lakes
With five main lakes, fed by the waters of four major rivers, and fringed by the Ninety Mile Beach, the Gippsland Lakes system is the biggest expanse of inland waterways in the southern hemisphere, with over 400 square kilometres of lakes, rivers and lagoons that have made this region an ideal location for all forms of water based fun and sport, and exceptional fishing.
With that you're off to Metung, where the Great Alpine Road touring route ends. Life assumes a relaxed pace in Metung, a picture-book village on the shores of Bancroft Bay and Lake King. Follow your nose to the harbourside restaurants to indulge in quality local seafood and wine, spend a day floating around in a boat and stroll along the water's edge at sunset, cooking up your next adventure.
Side trips
Buchan Caves Reserve
From Bruthen take the C620 for a scenic 20 minute drive to Buchan. Just past the town centre lies the picturesque gateway to the Buchan Caves Reserve where you can enjoy camping, bushwalking and wildlife spotting. Inside the Caves lies a honeycomb of spectacular limestone formations. Guided tours take you for an easy walk through these ancient caverns, exploring beautiful calcite-rimmed pools. In summer on a hot day, take the plunge in the Buchan Caves Reserve pool, which is spring fed from an underground stream, providing the pool with the purest water imaginable.
Wine and Gold Drive
An alternative route from Omeo to Bairnsdale is through Cassillis, a small town that was once a thriving mining community. Explore the picturesque valley on foot and see relics of the gold-mining era, including the unmissable Oriental Claims walking trails, the Cassilis Cemetery and the old goldmine. Call into a local winery and stock up some of the area's fruit and berry wines and mead, as well as the renowned baked goods in the township of Swifts Creek.
Gippsland Lakes Drive
Departing from Bruthen, which overlooks the Tambo River and features immaculate heritage buildings, take the C620 to Nowa Nowa and the A1 to Lakes Entrance to watch the daily catch being unloaded or to cast a line yourself. Continue along the A1 and Nungurner Road to Metung and stop for a stroll along the shores of the lake. Then take the C606 to Swan Reach, the A1 to Bairnsdale and the C604 to Paynesville, a great place to base yourself to explore the Gippsland Lakes and walk the Ninety Mile Beach.

There is a movie about extreme weather conditions combining at just the right place at just the right time to form a monster hurricane. It was based on a true story and starred, among other notable actors, George Clooney. Clooney played the captain of the ill-fated fishing boat, Andrea Gail, that perished along with her crew in the storm.
I'm starting to understand the concept.
I've been reading recently on blogs about how other RA patients deal/avoid the cold and flu season. Those of us on biologics and other medications have suppressed immune systems and can be at real risk with what might otherwise be a minor issue. As I thought about it, I realized how my exposure to germs has changed dramatically. I used to be a consultant and I'd leave my house in the morning (which is only occupied by my husband and myself) and go to my office, of which I was the only occupant. I didn't participate in a lot of activities where I came in contact with large number of people, so my exposure was pretty limited.
I now work in a full office, and on top of that, we've recently added about 30 people to the office who, for reasons I won't go into now, greatly increased my exposure to germs. Let's just say that the company had to hire a day porter to clean the restrooms and breakrooms in the middle of the day because they can't seem to clean up after themselves.
In addition, I've started working out on a regular basis. This puts me in close contact with a lot of germy surfaces. The workout facility is great. It's the fitness center where my husband took cardiac rehab after his triple bypass. It's run by the hospital, so it's actually very clean. But there are a lot of people who use the facility and many of them are doctors or other medical staff from the hospital, and who knows what kinds of germs they're walking around with on their clothes. (You should see the studies of what kinds of bacteria they've found on stethoscopes …)
So all this has combined to expose me to some sort of bacteria or virus and I now have the classic sore throat/cold that is rapidly settling down into my chest.
My various lymph glands are swollen, indicating that my immune system is in overdrive, pumping out all kinds of defense mechanisms to fight the bacteria/virus.
And what can happen to people with RA when their immune systems go into overdrive?
Golly, gee, gosh darn it, I'm also having a flare.
Fortunately, neither the cold nor the flare are too horrible, but couldn't I just deal with one thing at a time?
(Whine, sigh, whine some more, sigh again.)
I hope the things to which you are exposed all bring you good feelings. Thanks for checking in.

We reported a few weeks back that the Omni Group was working on a brand new application to add to their stable of, what some would consider, studs. They just let the cat out of the bag and the new thoroughbred is called OmniPlan.
OmniPlan is a project management application which is currently in private beta but will be made public next Wednesday. A reader of the site, Mindflayer, has sent us some impressions and screenshots of the latest OmniApp after some extensive use in real-world scenarios. His report talked about this application's ease of use as compared to Microsoft Project which he has used previously in his career:
[...] project management software should be easy to use [...] this just works
He goes on to say that OmniPlan benefits from the ability to intelligently import from OmniOutliner, a must for people who outline projects in the application first. This is to be expected, but it's good news that the import functionality is so good. The application has the ability to publish to the web but does not give the user an ability to edit from the web, something that from what I have read is essential to some users of project management software. When asked what the application lacked, if anything he responded with "polish." While were not entirely sure what that means we're pretty sure it's not the nail variety. Without any more delay, here're the screenshots:

Thanks again Donnie Walsh. It was announced Saturday that the Knicks finished the season with a $67 million payroll, $3 million below the $70 million luxury-tax threshold. This was the first season since 1999 that the Knicks finished below the threshold having paid $20-30 million annually under jackasses Scott Layden and Isiah "Zeke" Thomas. Once again Donnie Walsh continues to make strides and this is a stride that cheap ass James Dolan ought to appreciate. Dolan, being the money hungry power monger that he is, should appreciate what Walsh has done for his organization. While his man lover Mr. Thomas was producing losers on the court while costing Dolan $30 million annually, Walsh has produced a winner and SAVED Dolan from paying money over the cap. In the end, this accomplishment is just one of many you can add to Donnie Walsh's tenure with the Knicks and in the end it will not matter due to James Dolan's moronic and egotistical ways of running his team.

So if bronze and silver challengers are lessons, then are gold challenges "the test"? I had to give up on Warlord gold because they both literally almost had me throwing my laptop across the room out of frustration.

The Secret is Now Out: You Can Simplify Cloud Deployments with Cisco Unified Management
By now you have may have seen the Cisco announcement of the Unified Data Center and Unified Management http://newsroom.cisco.com/press-release-content?type=webcontent&articleId=578106. This exciting story around Unified Management began in the late summer of 2010 when the engineering team in Cisco's Tidal Software acquisition began the integration of the Tidal Enterprise Orchestrator and the UCS Manager. We realized that we could take our experience with hundreds of customers in application automation and apply that toward infrastructure automation, specifically around provisioning, virtualization and cloud. Our future was cloudy and that was indeed a good thing.
Five months later after intensive technical and business innovation, in the third week of January in 2011, the Intelligent Automation Solutions Business Unit introduced our cloud automation suite which brought the ease of Amazon EC2 to the private cloud for both physical and virtual clouds. The solution consisted of newScale's self service and service catalog technology, integrated to the Tidal Enterprise Orchestrator for automation of infrastructure provisioning and IT operations management tool integrations. I had been a customer of both of these companies at a previous job and had experienced the benefits of automating both the end user and back end systems with these two companies. With the new use cases of data center and cloud automation I was convinced that these technologies could be the basis of something transformational for our customers.
The front office of newScale solved the problem of how an IT shop can present an orderable set of standardized cloud services to my end users through a service catalog and manage the business processes associated with ordering and governance. The back office of the Tidal Enterprise Orchestrator accomplished all the "last mile" configurations by performing the technical provisioning; driving the APIs of Cisco's UCS Manager & Nexus, VMware and the relevant storage provisioning. With Cisco UCS we can very easily manage and automate physical and virtual clouds as a single construct and set of offerings.
Since then the team has been very busy. Cementing our cloud stack, Cisco acquired newScale in a much heralded public announcement that Cisco was indeed in the business of Cloud Automation Software. We have be very proud of how well received the Cisco software stack was when presented to and deployed by companies small and large including service providers. Most excitingly, Cisco IT deployed the stack for the corporate private cloud http://blogs.cisco.com/datacenter/complete-the-cloud-journey-handing-the-keys-to-the-users/. The collaboration of the business unit with Cisco IT was key to our Cisco-on-Cisco story. Read about some of our other customer stories such as Silicon Valley Bank ACS, a Xerox Company, and Cisco IT. The Cloud was real and it was built with Cisco.
Most recently the Cisco Network Services Manager http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps11636/index.html. has been added to the Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud architecture to automate and virtualize end-to-end IaaS network infrastructure provisioning. This technology, from the Linesider acquisition, takes Unified Management to the next level with an API accessible abstraction layer that simplifies platform configuration through a policy based engine to define the network configuration. The technology enables administrators to define the logical constructs of the Cloud (access/security, tiers of service, resources and constraints) without having a rigid model for those aggregated network services. This enables faster cloud setup time and dynamic, fluid network service evolution. Rigid gold, silver, or bronze network containers will be last year's news. Virtualizing physical network infrastructure will be as easy as virtualizing servers. This is big news to network configuration gurus and this discontinuity in technology that will have far reaching positive implications to Cisco customers.
The Unified Management technology stack is represented below:
and has the unique position of focusing on cloud automation while living alongside your previous IT investments http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps11869/index.html. I learned this early in my career, vendors hawking rip-n-replace solutions just don't understand the pressures that IT shops are under.
We have retired the newScale brand, replaced by the Cisco Cloud Portal and the Cisco Workplace Portal product offers. Additionally we have just changed the name of our well known Tidal Enterprise Orchestrator to the Cisco Process Orchestrator and the Tidal Server Provisioning to the Cisco Server Provisioner. We have also retired both the newScale and Tidal Software web sites. The Intelligent Automation Solutions Business Unit, under the recently formed Cloud and Systems Management Technology Group is quite excited to take on the new challenges of Cisco Unified Management for Cloud.

Video Games Intersect Social Networks at D.I.C.E.
In it, he discussed the challenge of unlearning habits and moving forward in changing times. As an example he cited how even today designers struggle to break free from the artificial requirement that a player die many, many times which is a holdover from arcade games needing to keep players paying the next quarter. He surmised that in similar fashion it will take at least 10, and as many as 20, years for designers to readapt and get socialization right in video games.
While Cerney painted a very broad timeline for change, the discussion on the "Gameplay vs. Gamification" panel the prior day addressed the very first stages of that process currently starting to take place. Jesse Schell, CEO and creative director of Schell Games and author of The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses, and Brian Reynolds, chief game designer at Zynga who prior to Facebook games designed major titles including Civilization II and Alpha Centauri, looked at the rapidly blurring line between full-fledged games and the encroachment of game mechanics in everything we do, now popularly referred to as gamification.
"It's like we're alchemists trying to turn lead into gold and haven't figured out the periodic table yet," said Schell, seemingly in agreement with Cerney's assertion that we have much to learn. At the heart of the matter lies the question of what constitutes a game. The two waxed philosophic on the subject, with Reynolds evoking Aristotle. "He said that happiness is activity in accordance with your purpose, and by purpose I mean the purpose that is wired-in to you by wherever wiring-in comes from. So the fact that we're wired to find patterns in things and try to get better at stuff--to try to throw things and shoot more accurately--and, in fact, to socialize means that activity in accordance with that purpose creates happiness, creates fun; and that's certainly what games are trying to do," Reynolds noted.
Reynolds sees the games Zynga creates as fitting well into that definition. "We try to create an experience that's really fun and really social and then get them [players] to play for it...I design a game and other people figure out what's the right price to charge for the items," he says. And of social games like those he creates he says, "Mostly, you're enjoying the game. Gameplay is designed to create actual pleasure in and of itself. It's gameplay for gameplay's sake that creates our particular entertainment form of hapiness."
The waters get much murkier when it comes to whether using game mechanics constitutes making a game. Schell relates how he fields calls day in and day out from those hoping the addition of a few game ideas will bring them overnight success. He likens the problem with this thinking to that of coming to the conclusion that because chocolate makes ice cream taste great, chocolate could be similarly added to cottage cheese and it would taste better. "You have to find something that resonates with what you're doing and brings out its essence," he says.
Even when the right fit is found, the result remains something other than a game. Airline frequent flier programs came up as an example. Their goal is status; the privilege to move to the front of the line or get a better seat. But for games, Reynolds said, "sure, status is out there as part of socializing but I don't think it's the leading driver of the compulsion in games and in social games." Whatever the priorities of each situation may be, it seems that the influence of social networking on games is destined to continue its growth, and vice versa.

The design leveraged a small 128 bit key tied to a validating hardware dongle to control encryption chunk size and order in a 64 bit encrypted videos, providing effective 128 bit security and 64 bit file size. This was to provide a secure video distribution channel for educational video products (initial target was South America). Project passed a technical review for a patent, but the patent was not pursued, possibly due to the social implications of restricted video tutorials in third world countries (my opinion). Project design consisted of two separate applications and included customized video components, an action-script based application integrated custom web server, Custom RC4 based real time encryption and decryption processes interacting with a 128 bit key, and a Native Extension written in C.

Webster University's Campus in Vienna Relocating to Historic Palais Wenkheim
Webster University has signed a long-term lease that paves the way for its campus in Vienna, Austria, to relocate to the historic Palais Wenkheim by the fall 2014 semester.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 22, 2013 – Webster University has signed a long-term lease that paves the way for its campus in Vienna, Austria, to relocate to the historic Palais Wenkheim by the fall 2014 semester. Webster's Vienna campus, first established in 1981, offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees. It has a total of about 500 students and has been located at its current site for more than a decade.
Webster University Vienna is the only university in Austria granting U.S.- and Austrian-accredited degrees. It is the oldest provider of the MBA degree in Austria and the only U.S. University in Central Europe to offer MBA programs in Slovakia and Hungary in partnership with local universities in those two countries.
"We look forward to a new location that more accurately reflects the global excellence of Webster's academic programs in Vienna," said Webster University President Elizabeth (Beth) J. Stroble. "We had simply outgrown our current facilities. This is a tremendous opportunity to improve our ability to advance the work of our faculty and staff and to meet the needs of the exceptional students who study at this location."
Located just outside the "Ringstrasse," a three-mile-long circular road surrounding the city center – Vienna's premier district, housing its most important architectural masterpieces – Palais Wenkheim originally was the residence of a member of Austria's Royal Family.
Built in 1826, Palais Wenkheim features tremendous architectural detailing, both interior and exterior. Renovations made to the approximately 36,000-square-foot structure in 1989 include a dramatic glass-roofed, five-story atrium with space that can accommodate gatherings of up to 300 people.
Additional renovations, which will take 12 to 18 months to complete, will transform Palais Wenkheim into a space that supports Webster University's commitment to providing academic and operational excellence for its students. They include upgrades to the building's heating and cooling systems and to its exterior, as well as building out classroom, office, food service, library and additional study space.
When completed, Palais Wenkheim will be able to support as many as 1,000 students. In addition, the nearby Hotel Am Augarten will be renovated to provide student housing, with both single and double rooms for 80 students. Both Palais Wenkheim and Hotel Am Augarten are conveniently located just a two-minute walk to public transportation.
"Palais Wenkheim, with its prime location and stunning architecture, promises an unrivaled student life experience," Stroble said. "According to the Mercer 2012 Quality of Living Survey, Vienna took the top spot as the city with the world's best quality of living. We are thrilled that with our new campus at Palais Wenkheim, Webster University will be situated at the very heart of this vibrant community."
"Palais Wenkheim epitomizes Webster University's creative approach to education, which brings past, present and future together," said Webster University Provost, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Julian Z. Schuster. "A historic building in the historic downtown of Vienna that hosts a truly global university sends an unequivocal message about the future of higher education."
With its home campus in St. Louis, Webster University (www.webster.edu) is the only Tier 1, private, non-profit U.S.-based university providing a network of international residential campuses. Founded in 1915, Webster University's campus network today includes metropolitan, military and corporate locations around the world, as well as traditional residential campuses in Asia, Europe and North America. The university is committed to delivering high-quality learning experiences that transform students for global citizenship and individual excellence.
