Or are you suggesting Kyo-Ani's Kyou is a brand new character altogether? Why would they do such a thing when they aim to be as faithful to the original as possible, as they have done with past Key games?

Q: Am I trying trying to say that the Rugby is tsuntsun towards Sunohara?
A: 100000% Sure!
Q: Are they deredere towards themselve?
A: How would I know? Did they even show they're deredere in the game and in the show? All they did were show their tsuntsun (bad temper/frustration/etc.) side towards Sunohara.
Her acts of trying to strangle Tomoya is because she cares for her reputation(a normal tsundere reaction). Why? She's embarrassed or in a hot-temper (if you don't want to use a strong word like angry) about it. A person who's not a tsundere wouldn't react like Kyou. Do you understand now?
Now, bring in more examples of Kyou being tsun? If you don't see most of her tsun scene in the anime, then what's your definition of tsun? You're explaining why that kind of her reaction is normal, and not why she is not a tsun. Being a tsun doesn't mean reacting to something. It has a more deeper meaning. And one of the meaning is being a bad/hot-tempered person or aloof or whatever. I wouldn't say that to Kyou because she might go in tsun mode and pummel me.
We already defined Kyou as a tsuntsun type because of the fact that she's a hot-tempered/wild/easily ticked off/etc. etc. person.
We already defined Kyou as a deredere as well because despite having a tsuntsun side, she do easily gets embarrassed and warmhearted and etc. etc.
You get what we mean? Tsundere is about personality, be it whole or developing.
You say it's a normal reaction (a normal reaction to you but not to everyone), but that's one of the reason why she became a tsun and at the same time tsundere in the first place, we haven't seen much of her deredere side as of yet except for the Botan scene though.

Just a few questions regarding the tsundere :
1.) Where would we draw the line between acting 'being friendly in a boyish way' and 'tsun'?
2.) Suppose Kyou was a guy (refrains from using a 'bi' joke), would we still use tsundere to refer to her personality? (compared to... say Kyon in SHnY, which I've heard people referring to him as such)

2a) Tsundere is a Japanese word describes a girl with a bad attitude (tsuntsun) but gradually develops into a shy. loving, adorable, etc. etc. person (deredere), not eliminating her tsun personality though (traditional definition). See Shana, Sawatari Makoto, Suiseiki, Tohsaka Rin, Akane Tendo, Nadia (Fushigi no Umi no Nadia), etc. It's about character development
2b) Tsundere is a Japanese word that describes a girl with a personality of being a tsuntsun and a deredere above most of her personality (modern definition). See Kagami, Anya, Asuna Kagurazaka, Asuka, Ayu (or was it Mayu from Rumbling Hearts?) etc. etc. It's about the personality as a whole
2c) Kyon is tsun because he's almost always in bad mood due to Haruhi but he's not supposed to be called a tsundere because that would make him look like a gay XD) Imagine him, blushing trying to talk his way out.

As far as I can see, you're definition of tsun in tsundere is a bit wrong because you're applying something else when it should only be describing personality.
Did Nagisa start with a hot-tempered personality? (can be considered wild, a form of tsun) (traditional definition) Is she someone who always becomes irritated? (a form of tsun) (modern definition) Not, right? She's just a gentle and loving girl who can also get embarrassed sometimes.
A simple explanation...
Traditional Tsundere == Tsuntsun ----> Deredere (It means, from being someone who has a bad attitude to someone loving)
Modern Tsundere == Tsuntsun+Deredere (It means someone who has a bad attitude but really weak/lovable/moonstruck/etc. inside) and the tsuntsun part is more obvious than the deredere part.
Anyway, a much more easier to understand term for tsuntsun is "hot headed" and "softhearted" for deredere. But anyway, almost every moe girls are deredere as well... if not, all...
Anymore question?

Tsundere isn't a 'personality' per se to begin with, it is a trait. Anyways, you seem to claim that if a person tends to act in a hot headed manner it makes them a tsundere, which i absolutely can't agree with.
At any rate, this conversation indeed seems to be less and less related to Kyou and more to what the heck we consider to be tsundere in first place, so perhaps it is indeed worth considering moving that discussion to the tsundere thread in General anime.

It's not about how we consider what is to be tsundere, but we're debating weather Kyou is acting tsun or friendly.
Every single person out there does show manners of dislike to another person they dislike, and vice versa for those they like, but you don't call everybody a 'tsundere' right? When talking about tsun and dere, they have to be acting towards the same person. Kyou has never, ever acted tsun towards Tomoya and dere towards Sunohara (apart from the final choice in her route). Therefore, Kyou is consistent in terms of mood. And thus, Kyou is not a tsundere because she doesn't exhibit the triats of a tsundere where they have a mood swing between 'tsun' and 'dere' towards one single character.
On the contary, if we use your theory that Kyou is tsundere because she acts 'tsun' towards Sunohara and 'dere' towards Tomoya, then we can have to be consistent and see that Nagisa is a tsundere because she is always ignoring Sunohara and paying attention to Tomoya, but now you say she is not a tsundere--how can you justify that then?
(Note: I do not think Nagisa is a tsundere because she is consistent in her mood.)

There is no particular need to to merge the routes forcefully, as it is possible that every single get a show in Nagisa's route even in the game. But some classic moments will need a bit of work to fit in the show (like Fuko's final moment)
It's funny seeing that Kyou's thread is the longest threat, despite she is not the no.1 popular amongst the players. (The most popular is Tomoyo, IIRC)

And I never claimed anything about being a tsun is being a tsundere. Read above quote.
But anyway, if you're talking about this message "You say it's a normal reaction (a normal reaction to you but not to everyone), but that's one of the reason why she became a tsun and at the same time tsundere in the first place, we haven't seen much of her deredere side as of yet except for the Botan scene though."
What I mean there is:
1) She's a tsun because she's a hot-headed hard to deal with person.
2) She's a tsundere because despite she's a hot-headed (tsun) hard to deal with person, she is a shy/kind/moonstruck/caring-to-her-sister/what-ever-you-want-to-call-it (dere) person in the inside.
Actually, most of that girls that lands only on the tsun side are either enemies or just plain crazy hot-headed (a very simple example is Akira and Asuzagawa Yukino of Yakitate Japan).
If you don't want to use that term for Kyou, then you what would Kagami be? She's almost the same as Kyou, a head-headed but really caring person. Kyou is hot-headed the same as Kagami, Kyou is caring and she also gets embarrassed easily, the same as Kagami.
mataray = hotheaded/hotblooded = tsuntsun (super easy term for Filipino to understand )

Would you please stop using characters outside of CLANNAD for reference? For one thing I don't watch as much anime as you otakus, so don't assume I know about the other characters about other series. All I'm here to debate is weather Kyou is a tsundere or not, and I'm standing firm by saying Kyou is never tsun, her hot-headed moments are actually her way of showing love/friendliness
And therefore, when looking at the tsun and dere moments of Kyou we have to make sure we are looking at the same person. It's like doing a scientific experiment. We keep every factor constant and monitor two changing factor. For Kyou's case, the changing factor is the situation and her mood.

But anyway you did say, "her hot-headed moments are actually her way of showing love/friendliness"... that's what being a tsuntsun person means... being in a hot-headed moments... and the bolded italic one is what you call being a deredere... so it means, you're contradicting yourself...

And seriously, I don't see any hostility and such, but meh.
In fact, the aggressivity is a MANNER of speech, which doesn't change the meaning of it.
If you are aggressive or calm, the impatc might change, but the message is still the same. That's why iamandragon made an emphasis on "friendliness". Because being aggressive doesn't mean it is an act of coldness or whatever.
The way how Kyou expresses herself is indeed wild, but her demeanor is NOT. If someone yells "i love you" or mutters it, it is still the same. Granted, that doesn't change one's feelings, just with the way how it was done.
The "purpose" of being wild (so being tsuntsun for whatever reason) is not the same than being it for the hell of it. Acting like this to express themself is then the personality, not a tsundere trait.
As explained by Skyfall already, tsundere is a type, a category of character, not a personality as a whole, otherwise, "tsundere" would be generic (which they are already) to the point they are acting all the same, which is obviousl not the case if we take for example, Kugimiya Rie loli tsundere trio (though nagi is still debatable). Right then, you can tell Shana and Louise are diametrally different in their tsundere-ism. That proves tsundere is rather a trait of personality, not the personality as a whole.
Thus, having some personality trait doesn't encage you into a stereotype already. that's the point. as result, being hotheaded isn't a synonym of being tsun, because the personality can be different depending on the characters. Or if you prefer, you already said "being tsun doesn't mean the character is tsundere". That's the same principle: being wild doesn't mean it is tsun.
That's why i don't see the definition as "narrow", but rather yours (as well as kinny's) are too vague. Why? because that means that any "cold" behaviour, being negative or not, affection or aversion is tsuntsun... therefor, that means that almost every character are tsundere as result.
With such vague definition, we can even claim Fuko is tsundere, or Nagisa... (that's like pretending Rena is tsundere because she has mood swing... same goes for Mion and Satoko who are NOT tsundere, because they aren't tsun to begin with...)
the definition is neutral (as i already quoted it), but it appears it is just like "moe", and people are just taking it in their view, and not exactly how "set in stone" the definition is already. Quite big debate heh...
Again, you are not explaining how you can actually claim Kyou has shown deredere, and "being embarassed by a pantsu shot" is hardly deredere.
Same goes what we saw in episode 4.

I personally don't know about Kyou, but I theorize that iamandragon herself IS a tsundere. Of course, so far all we've seen is the tsun-tsun side of her, but maybe there's a dere-dere side to her that we haven't seen yet. (J/K)
Joking aside, it's almost the same case with Kyou. Maybe what we see is the tsun side of her, maybe it's not, but we still can't say whether she is a tsundere for certain until when (of if) she shows a more obvious dere-dere side of her.

However, if her attitude is constant, and she doesn't show a true deredere, that completely proves she is not.
As far as we can see, since the debate still goes on... we gotta need a bulletproof detail which will either confirm she is or not

"We collected the document at the end of our discussion so there were no copies floating around," reads a May 26, 2010, email from Mark Bonney, head of the board of directors of Community Health Center, to executive director Mark Masselli.
Sometimes I start to question the sincerity of people to whom I pose simple questions. Take Community Health Center, the health care organization based in Middletown that is ensnared in an unwelcome federal investigation of campaign contributions and state bond funds.
Last month, I wrote about the staggering 2010 bonus that the center's board of directors gave to its leader, Mark Masselli. The report mentioned in the email was the one that recommended a raise and a staggering $220,000 bonus for Masselli, in addition to his $330,000 salary. The report was written by a consultant who shortly thereafter was hired to head the center's human resources operation.
When I asked in March what the justification for the bonus was, a spokesman for the center said it was to make up for the absence of a retirement plan for Masselli more than 20 years ago. The minutes of the meeting at which the board unanimously approved the raise and bonus make no mention of that. The minutes say "that the bonus amount corresponds to the excellent results achieved by the organization."
Federal investigators, who have compelled the center to provide a lot of information about its dealings with state officials, may be able to use their authority to see if some of those "excellent results" included the millions in state funds Masselli was able to obtain with the help of his friend former Speaker of the House Christopher Donovan, for whose scandal-plagued, unsuccessful 2010 congressional campaign Masselli served as finance chairman.
Though the center is required to disclose its top salaries in public federal documents, Masselli did not want the suspect compensation report to leak. He sent an email to Bonney on May 25, 2010, cautioning him, "I know you will remind people that this document shouldn't be misplaced or dealt with casually."
Nothing unusual here, the center spokeswoman Andrea Obston wrote in response to questions last week. "Community Health Center, like other institutions, considers all discussions about compensation to be a private matter between the board, the organization's HR department and the individual involved." But the concern for secrecy over Masselli's bonus suggests he and at least one of his allies knew they were committing an outrage that required a thick veil around it.
Bonney also informed Masselli in his email that someone may have overheard the board's discussion of the compensation report, saying he "should be aware that … Angela's driver had come to the floor as we started our discussion and, while we thought he had left the floor upon seeing that the meeting was still on, [an aide] was concerned that he showed up 'too quickly' following the conclusion of the meeting to have left the floor in the first place. I hope this does not cause an issue for you."
The Angela in the email is presumably board member Angela Anthony. The paranoia in the message is more proof that the center knew that the raise was a dodgy move in a business that holds itself out as a guardian of the poor and neglected. The board voted not to pay the bonus until later in the year "following the release of audited financial statements in August/September 2010."
A consultant's compensation report to the board outlines the tax risks that the center took to give Masselli the extraordinary bonus. After reviewing the various penalties that could be imposed by the government, it concludes, "Not a pleasant picture but unlikely to be an issue."
It may have looked that way in 2010, but events brought changes in fortunes that are exposing internal workings of the center and putting its future at risk. Masselli has collected an army of detractors in and beyond the world of publicly funded health care facilities. Authorities enjoy vast power to gather testimony and documents from the center and others.
Those investigators can also summon the talents of colleagues who spend their careers tugging at the financial threads of an organizations. "We'd rather keep it a secret" isn't an answer they accept.

2008 Toyota Tundra Ivan Stewart Edition - Signature Series ShenanigansPosted in Vehicle Reviews on November 1, 2008
It was about the time we were sideways around the corner, with the traction and stability control futilely attempting to rein us in while beeping its displeasure at our antics, that we vaguely remembered legendary racer Ivan "Ironman" Stewart's last words to us only minutes before when handing us the keys-something to the effect of, "Have fun, and watch the throttle." Well, watching the throttle is easier in theory than in practice when you have 550 lb-ft of supercharged torque under your right, supplied by a TRD blower. It was unspoken, but Ivan knew, just as we did during the hand-off of the keys that hoonage would immediately ensue in this unsupervised drive.
We figured Ivan must have approved, because he showed us a way to disable the traction control, so we immediately tested it by power braking perfectly good General tires to smokey bits of submission in an exuberant display of overzealous pedal application. The goofy smiles on our faces took hours to remove.
A few months before this test, the Ivan "Ironman" Stewart Signature Series Tundra was announced, and we immediately set up a date to check out this 1/2-ton brute in person. These limited-edition four-wheel-drive Tundras benefit from a host of upgrades through three stages of Ironman packages, a grouping of parts that have been hand-selected by Ivan for their quality and performance. Ivan tells us his goal was to put together a truck that he would be proud to drive, one that is strong, capable, and confident without being flashy or attention-grabbing through the use of obnoxious stickers and badges.
7PhotosView Slideshow
And so the work began to put together staged packages, of which the final breakdown is as follows:
Stage 1 of the Signature Edition includes Ivan "Ironman" Stewart polished 20-inch Alcoa forged wheels, Magnaflow stainless steel after-cat exhaust with logo, General AT2 All-Terrains, a Bilstein 2-inch leveling suspension system, an awesome Ivan "Ironman" Hurst shifter molded after Ivan's own grip, Signature Series badging, and a numbered dash plaque.
Stage 2 includes everything from Stage 1 and adds Stage 2 badging, N-Fab bumper-mounted lightbar, four Hella 700FF lights, an extruded billet-aluminum bedrail system, and a polished-aluminum alloy fuel door.
The ultimate Stage 3 package that we sampled includes all of the above plus the mighty TRD supercharger, TRD big brake package, Hella performance headlights with black-out housings, a body-colored grille shell, a metal-finished OEM grille, and a full Katzkin Leather interior with embroidered logos.
We have to admit the overall feel of the Signature Series is subtle, but effective.
We were most impressed with the Stage 3 Signature Series Tundra's docile composure on the highway, feeling much like a stock Tundra at speed, with no hint of the brooding rabid animal ready to unleash a ferocious, foaming attack with just a stab of the skinny pedal. You could drive the truck all day and never dip in to the humongous power reserve, but it lies in wait ready for the passing maneuver. Only a hint of Magnaflow rumble reminds you of what lies lurking under the hood.
14PhotosView Slideshow
Ride quality is firmer, but excellent, with only a little bit more tire harshness over stock, which is the trade-off well accepted for the General's much-improved traction. Braking is awesome, as expected, with TRD calipers that grasp the rotors every bit as tight as the Ironman's own handshake. All of the different components work harmoniously together and prove the Signature Series Tundra is a solid, well-rounded, well-engineered vehicle.
Attention to detail is evident in all of the components-even the badging is done by the OEM supplier to Toyota-and is everywhere you look and everywhere you touch. The truck looks good and goes fast, and from the dealer it is likely to go even quicker with only 500 on tap for the first year of production.
The serialized packages will be sold through participating dealers in Southern California and Arizona, with plans to expand to others in the future. And while they may not be an official Toyota package, owners will still be covered under warranty and will get a lifetime membership to the Ivan Stewart enthusiast club, along with a membership to the owners' registry for these vehicles.
Best of all, you know you are driving more than just a sticker and badge package-this is one the Ironman has had his hand in from the beginning and wholeheartedly endorses. And so do we.
What's Hot:
High-quality parts, grip like Ivan grips, gobs of unrelenting tire-shredding power
What's Not:
Only 500 available
Our Take:
The Tundra we want to own

Although highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) decreases HIV-associated mortality, it does not to completely restore health. Patients doing well on otherwise effective HAART remain at risk for cancer, cardiovascular/liver disease, osteopenia, and other "non-AIDS-defining" events. While complete eradication may never be feasible, a "functional cure" in which patients are able to maintain undetectable viral loads indefinitely without therapy may be possible. The best evidence for this are the so-called "elite" controllers, whom we define as individuals who are HIV-seropositive, with plasma HIV RNA levels below the level of conventional detection without treatment. Controllers may be conceptualized as a naturally occurring model of a functional cure (or "HIV remission"), and are ideal patients in which to study HIV persistence and the possibility of eradication.
We propose to conduct a pilot study to better characterize the reservoirs that lead to viral persistence in a group of well-characterized controllers. We propose two specific aims: 1) to characterize the dynamics of viral production in blood and gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) in controllers; and 2) to prospectively treat 10 controllers with raltegravir, tenofovir/emtricitabine for 24 weeks and study the effects of HAART on viral dynamics and host inflammatory responses.
Our primary hypotheses are: 1) viral replication is ongoing in untreated controllers, 2) HAART will reduce viral replication in blood and GALT and decrease immune activation, and 3) higher levels of immune activation are associated with greater measures of microbial translocation and distribution of virus to more differentiated T cell subsets.

my 3 children 2 girls one boy 's biological father molested them sodomized my son and even gave my handicapped daughter that can't walk or talk an STI (cured by 3 months of antibiotics thank God). The county where it happened are crooked and involved in drug sells with him! so I have been fighting for their protection and his arrest and conviction.I made up a petition and trying to get as many signatures to take to Montgomery to Troy King along with medical proof and their written statements and try to get this investigated. It is important because he is trying to fight to get his rights reinstated claiming he was not convicted. So if you could would you message your friends and give them this link to sign this petition!and sign it yourself http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/kckju... if you can't get the link to work you can message me with your name and email and i can go on there for you thanks

Fiber Distributed Data Interface
From DocWiki
The Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) specifies a 100-Mbps token-passing, dual-ring LAN using fiber-optic cable. FDDI is frequently used as high-speed backbone technology because of its support for high bandwidth and greater distances than copper. It should be noted that relatively recently, a related copper specification, called Copper Distributed Data Interface (CDDI), has emerged to provide 100-Mbps service over copper. CDDI is the implementation of FDDI protocols over twisted-pair copper wire. This article focuses mainly on FDDI specifications and operations, but it also provides a high-level overview of CDDI.
FDDI uses dual-ring architecture with traffic on each ring flowing in opposite directions (called counter-rotating). The dual rings consist of a primary and a secondary ring. During normal operation, the primary ring is used for data transmission, and the secondary ring remains idle. As will be discussed in detail later in this article, the primary purpose of the dual rings is to provide superior reliability and robustness.
Figure: FDDI Uses Counter-Rotating Primary and Secondary Rings shows the counter-rotating primary and secondary FDDI rings.
Figure: FDDI Uses Counter-Rotating Primary and Secondary Rings
FDDI was developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) X3T9.5 standards committee in the mid-1980s. At the time, high-speed engineering workstations were beginning to tax the bandwidth of existing local-area networks (LANs) based on Ethernet and Token Ring. A new LAN media was needed that could easily support these workstations and their new distributed applications. At the same time, network reliability had become an increasingly important issue as system managers migrated mission-critical applications from large computers to networks. FDDI was developed to fill these needs. After completing the FDDI specification, ANSI submitted FDDI to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which created an international version of FDDI that is completely compatible with the ANSI standard version.
FDDI Transmission Media
FDDI uses optical fiber as the primary transmission medium, but it also can run over copper cabling. As mentioned earlier, FDDI over copper is referred to as Copper-Distributed Data Interface (CDDI). Optical fiber has several advantages over copper media. In particular, security, reliability, and performance all are enhanced with optical fiber media because fiber does not emit electrical signals. A physical medium that does emit electrical signals (copper) can be tapped and therefore would permit unauthorized access to the data that is transiting the medium. In addition, fiber is immune to electrical interference from radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI). Fiber historically has supported much higher bandwidth (throughput potential) than copper, although recent technological advances have made copper capable of transmitting at 100 Mbps. Finally, FDDI allows 2 km between stations using multimode fiber, and even longer distances using a single mode.
FDDI defines two types of optical fiber: single-mode and multimode. A mode is a ray of light that enters the fiber at a particular angle. Multimode fiber uses LED as the light-generating device, while single-mode fiber generally uses lasers.
Multimode fiber allows multiple modes of light to propagate through the fiber. Because these modes of light enter the fiber at different angles, they will arrive at the end of the fiber at different times. This characteristic is known as modal dispersion. Modal dispersion limits the bandwidth and distances that can be accomplished using multimode fibers. For this reason, multimode fiber is generally used for connectivity within a building or a relatively geographically contained environment.
Single-mode fiber allows only one mode of light to propagate through the fiber. Because only a single mode of light is used, modal dispersion is not present with single-mode fiber. Therefore, single-mode fiber is capable of delivering considerably higher performance connectivity over much larger distances, which is why it generally is used for connectivity between buildings and within environments that are more geographically dispersed.
Figure: Light Sources Differ for Single-Mode and Multimode Fibers depicts single-mode fiber using a laser light source and multimode fiber using a light emitting diode (LED) light source.
Figure: Light Sources Differ for Single-Mode and Multimode Fibers
FDDI Specifications
FDDI specifies the physical and media-access portions of the OSI reference model. FDDI is not actually a single specification, but it is a collection of four separate specifications, each with a specific function. Combined, these specifications have the capability to provide high-speed connectivity between upper-layer protocols such as TCP/IP and IPX, and media such as fiber-optic cabling.
FDDI's four specifications are the Media Access Control (MAC), Physical Layer Protocol (PHY), Physical-Medium Dependent (PMD), and Station Management (SMT) specifications. The MAC specification defines how the medium is accessed, including frame format, token handling, addressing, algorithms for calculating cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value, and error-recovery mechanisms. The PHY specification defines data encoding/decoding procedures, clocking requirements, and framing, among other functions. The PMD specification defines the characteristics of the transmission medium, including fiber-optic links, power levels, bit-error rates, optical components, and connectors. The SMT specification defines FDDI station configuration, ring configuration, and ring control features, including station insertion and removal, initialization, fault isolation and recovery, scheduling, and statistics collection.
FDDI is similar to IEEE 802.3 Ethernet and IEEE 802.5 Token Ring in its relationship with the OSI model. Its primary purpose is to provide connectivity between upper OSI layers of common protocols and the media used to connect network devices.
Figure: FDDI Specifications Map to the OSI Hierarchical Model illustrates the four FDDI specifications and their relationship to each other and to the IEEE-defined Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer. The LLC sublayer is a component of Layer 2, the MAC layer, of the OSI reference model.
Figure: FDDI Specifications Map to the OSI Hierarchical Model
FDDI Station-Attachment Types
One of the unique characteristics of FDDI is that multiple ways actually exist by which to connect FDDI devices. FDDI defines four types of devices: single-attachment station (SAS), dual-attachment station (DAS), single-attached concentrator (SAC), and dual-attached concentrator (DAC).
An SAS attaches to only one ring (the primary) through a concentrator. One of the primary advantages of connecting devices with SAS attachments is that the devices will not have any effect on the FDDI ring if they are disconnected or powered off. Concentrators will be covered in more detail in the following discussion.
Each FDDI DAS has two ports, designated A and B. These ports connect the DAS to the dual FDDI ring. Therefore, each port provides a connection for both the primary and the secondary rings. As you will see in the next section, devices using DAS connections will affect the rings if they are disconnected or powered off.
Figure: FDDI DAS Ports Attach to the Primary and Secondary Rings shows FDDI DAS A and B ports with attachments to the primary and secondary rings.
Figure: FDDI DAS Ports Attach to the Primary and Secondary Rings
An FDDI concentrator (also called a dual-attachment concentrator [DAC]) is the building block of an FDDI network. It attaches directly to both the primary and secondary rings and ensures that the failure or power-down of any SAS does not bring down the ring. This is particularly useful when PCs, or similar devices that are frequently powered on and off, connect to the ring.
Figure: A Concentrator Attaches to Both the Primary and Secondary Rings shows the ring attachments of an FDDI SAS, DAS, and concentrator.
Figure: A Concentrator Attaches to Both the Primary and Secondary Rings
FDDI Fault Tolerance
FDDI provides a number of fault-tolerant features. In particular, FDDI's dual-ring environment, the implementation of the optical bypass switch, and dual-homing support make FDDI a resilient media technology.
Dual Ring
FDDI's primary fault-tolerant feature is the dual ring. If a station on the dual ring fails or is powered down, or if the cable is damaged, the dual ring is automatically wrapped (doubled back onto itself) into a single ring. When the ring is wrapped, the dual-ring topology becomes a single-ring topology. Data continues to be transmitted on the FDDI ring without performance impact during the wrap condition.
Figure: A Ring Recovers from a Station Failure by Wrapping and Figure: A Ring also Wraps to Withstand a Cable Failure illustrate the effect of a ring wrapping in FDDI.
Figure: A Ring Recovers from a Station Failure by Wrapping
Figure: A Ring also Wraps to Withstand a Cable Failure
When a single station fails, as shown in Figure 8-6, devices on either side of the failed (or powered-down) station wrap, forming a single ring. Network operation continues for the remaining stations on the ring. When a cable failure occurs, as shown in the above figure, devices on either side of the cable fault wrap. Network operation continues for all stations.
It should be noted that FDDI truly provides fault tolerance against a single failure only. When two or more failures occur, the FDDI ring segments into two or more independent rings that are incapable of communicating with each other.
Optical Bypass Switch
An optical bypass switch provides continuous dual-ring operation if a device on the dual ring fails. This is used both to prevent ring segmentation and to eliminate failed stations from the ring. The optical bypass switch performs this function using optical mirrors that pass light from the ring directly to the DAS device during normal operation. If a failure of the DAS device occurs, such as a power-off, the optical bypass switch will pass the light through itself by using internal mirrors and thereby will maintain the ring's integrity.
The benefit of this capability is that the ring will not enter a wrapped condition in case of a device failure.
Figure: The Optical Bypass Switch Uses Internal Mirrors to Maintain a Network shows the functionality of an optical bypass switch in an FDDI network. When using the OB, you will notice a tremendous digression of your network as the packets are sent through the OB unit.
Figure: The Optical Bypass Switch Uses Internal Mirrors to Maintain a Network
Dual Homing
Critical devices, such as routers or mainframe hosts, can use a fault-tolerant technique called dual homing to provide additional redundancy and to help guarantee operation. In dual-homing situations, the critical device is attached to two concentrators.
Figure: A Dual-Homed Configuration Guarantees Operation shows a dual-homed configuration for devices such as file servers and routers.
Figure: A Dual-Homed Configuration Guarantees Operation
One pair of concentrator links is declared the active link; the other pair is declared passive. The passive link stays in backup mode until the primary link (or the concentrator to which it is attached) is determined to have failed. When this occurs, the passive link automatically activates.
FDDI Frame Format
The FDDI frame format is similar to the format of a Token Ring frame. This is one of the areas in which FDDI borrows heavily from earlier LAN technologies, such as Token Ring. FDDI frames can be as large as 4,500 bytes.
Figure: The FDDI Frame Is Similar to That of a Token Ring Frame shows the frame format of an FDDI data frame and token.
Figure: The FDDI Frame Is Similar to That of a Token Ring Frame
FDDI Frame Fields
The following descriptions summarize the FDDI data frame and token fields illustrated in the above figure.
- Preamble - Gives a unique sequence that prepares each station for an upcoming frame.
- Start delimiter - Indicates the beginning of a frame by employing a signaling pattern that differentiates it from the rest of the frame.
- Frame control - Indicates the size of the address fields and whether the frame contains asynchronous or synchronous data, among other control information.
- Destination address - Contains a unicast (singular), multicast (group), or broadcast (every station) address. As with Ethernet and Token Ring addresses, FDDI destination addresses are 6 bytes long.
- Source address - Identifies the single station that sent the frame. As with Ethernet and Token Ring addresses, FDDI source addresses are 6 bytes long.
- Data - Contains either information destined for an upper-layer protocol or control information.
- Frame check sequence (FCS) - Is filed by the source station with a calculated cyclic redundancy check value dependent on frame contents (as with Token Ring and Ethernet). The destination address recalculates the value to determine whether the frame was damaged in transit. If so, the frame is discarded.
- End delimiter - Contains unique symbols; cannot be data symbols that indicate the end of the frame.
- Frame status - Allows the source station to determine whether an error occurred; identifies whether the frame was recognized and copied by a receiving station.
Copper Distributed Data Interface
Copper Distributed Data Interface (CDDI) is the implementation of FDDI protocols over twisted-pair copper wire. Like FDDI, CDDI provides data rates of 100 Mbps and uses dual-ring architecture to provide redundancy. CDDI supports distances of about 100 meters from desktop to concentrator.
CDDI is defined by the ANSI X3T9.5 Committee. The CDDI standard is officially named the Twisted-Pair Physical Medium-Dependent (TP-PMD) standard. It is also referred to as the Twisted-Pair Distributed Data Interface (TP-DDI), consistent with the term Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI). CDDI is consistent with the physical and media-access control layers defined by the ANSI standard.
The ANSI standard recognizes only two types of cables for CDDI: shielded twisted pair (STP) and unshielded twisted pair (UTP). STP cabling has 150-ohm impedance and adheres to EIA/TIA 568 (IBM Type 1) specifications. UTP is data-grade cabling (Category 5) consisting of four unshielded pairs using tight-pair twists and specially developed insulating polymers in plastic jackets adhering to EIA/TIA 568B specifications.
Figure: CDDI TP-PMD and FDDI Specifications Adhere to Different Standards illustrates the CDDI TP-PMD specification in relation to the remaining FDDI specifications.
Figure: CDDI TP-PMD and FDDI Specifications Adhere to Different Standards
The Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) specifies a 100-Mbps token-passing, dual-ring LAN architecture using fiber-optic cable. FDDI is frequently implemented as a high-speed backbone technology because of its support for high bandwidth and greater distances than copper.
Review Questions
Q - What are the benefits of using FDDI instead of CDDI?
A - Longer distance, no RFI, no EFI.
Q - What role does the DAC play in the FDDI network?
A - The concentrator is a dual-attachment station device and ensures that when single-attachment station devices-such as PCs-are turned off, they do not interrupt the network ring.

Members of the #TeamBlackBerry community who read the Inside BlackBerry® blog and follow @BlackBerry and @BlackBerryBlog on Twitter® may have noticed a new face amongst our ranks: Carolyn. Carolyn is here to help out Team BlackBerry in any way she can, and she's looking forward to being an active part of our great online community!
Here's a little interview I conducted with Carolyn to get you acquainted with her:
Tell us a bit about yourself and where you are from.
I am a small town girl, born and raised in Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada. After graduating from university, I decided to spread my wings and venture out of Canada to the land Down Under – Australia! I made Sydney my home for close to two years before making my way back to Canadian soil. This experience was definitely a highlight for me, as one of my favorite things to do is to travel and learn about different cultures.
What is your favorite BlackBerry-related memory?
My sister has been travelling across Australia, New Zealand and Asia, and we have been keeping in touch over BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM™). We get to talk over BBM so often that it makes it seem like she's still here. If we were to rely solely on voice calls, we would barely talk because you have to pay for international calling and it can cost so much. Hooray for BBM!
So, you've been on the road for the Meet the PlayBook fan events getting to meet #TeamBlackBerry members in-person. What are you hearing from them about the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet?
It has been great to see all the excitement around the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet both from our fans online and in-person. During the fan events, I had the chance to meet a variety of different people including developers, small business owners, moms and musicians, who all have unique plans for their BlackBerry PlayBook tablet – and are teaching me about how it fits into each of their lifestyles.
One couple in particular that has family members living in another country was excited about the Video Chat application. While talking to them, not only were they thrilled about the chance to keep in touch with their family members in real-time, but they also liked the ability to see the faces of their loved ones.
I have also received a lot of positive comments online about the size of the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet – it seems like it's the perfect travel companion, because it fits almost anywhere. We've been getting a constant stream of feedback on the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet since it's been available in stores and are happy to hear that people love it as much as we do.
What is your favorite type of UGC ("User Generated Content") created on a BlackBerry smartphone?
I love pictures! It's so handy to be able to take great quality images right from my device and send them to family and friends or post to Facebook® from wherever I am. I also love seeing the images that fans send to us (like the ones on our Flickr account) – it's awesome to be able to see what our followers are up to.
What is the most-used tool on your BlackBerry smartphone?
My Calendar or my Alarm Clock – I use them religiously every day. I can honestly say I would be lost without them in my day.
What is your favorite BlackBerry smartphone tip/trick?
I am constantly using T and B to navigate from the top and bottom of my pages – so handy! I also make sure to keep up with the @BlackBerryHelp team on Twitter, because they've got plenty of tips that are really useful.
Thanks for this, Carolyn! Readers – if you have any questions for Carolyn, please post them in a comment below! Also, have you met our other BlackBerry Community Manager, Mitchell?

The last time Hillsdale High School played Jonesville High School in a football game, Richard Nixon was president, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" topped the Billboards, and a gallon of gas cost 36 cents.
The world was very different in 1970 than it is today. One thing, however, has not changed. The people of Jonesville and Hillsdale wait a long time to see their two teams play football.
Before Oct. 2, 1970, the last time these teams met was 1936. Hillsdale won the game, 20-6. Hillsdale and Jonesville have played six games in total. In the first game, in 1923, Hillsdale shutout Jonesville, 18-0. Six years later, Hillsdale picked up another shutout, 19-0. In 1930 the Comets got their first win in the series with a shutout of their own, 12-0. The very next season Hillsdale rebounded for the win, and, once again, the losing team goose egged, 13-0.
So on the afternoon of 1970, Hillsdale held a 4-1 lead in the series. The teams had not�played in 39 years, so Jonesville students decided to commemorate the event with a 5.5 mile walk. The 20 students in the "pep club" hiked from Jonesville to Baumgarten Stadium to celebrate the "renewal of an old rivalry."
The Hornets fielded the opening kick that night and nearly scored. Dave Self returned the ball all the way to Comet 10-yard line. John Waters scored several plays later on a sweep. After Waters scored the two-point conversion, Hillsdale�led 8-0.
The Hornets almost took a big lead early, as they reached the red-zone on their next possession, but they fumbled on the five-yard line.
The Hornets turned the ball over again late in the first half. This time Jonesville capitalized, as quarterback Bill Dunn scored on a keeper. Running back Denny McCormick's two-point conversion run tied the game at 8. The first half ended in a tie.
Behind Jonesville's runningbacks McCormick, Joe Thompson, and�Don Harrison,�the Comets drove the field in the first possession of the second half. McCormick scored on an 18-yard scamper, and the Comets took a 14-8 lead.
Hillsdale's sophomore quarterback Eric Van Deusen put his team in scoring position�with a 25-yard run, but, once again, Hillsdale fumbled within the five-yard line.
The Comets took advantage of the Hornets' fourth fumble of the game, as�Harrison picked up the�yardage, and Thompson scored the ball. Jim Caldwell's two-point catch gave the Comets a commanding 22-8 lead.
In the fourth quarter, a long return by Mike Bemis gave the Hornets excellent field position. After two Comet penalties and a�reception by Tom Fellows, Van Deusen punched the ball across the goalline. Fellows made a "circus catch" on the conversion, and Hillsdale narrowed the gap to 22-16.
The Hornets did not threaten for the rest of the game, however, and Jonesville's Thompson added one more Comet touchdown to the board. The final score was 29-16.
Hillsdale missed three keys players in the game, as they fell to 1-2 on the season. The Comets moved up to 2-1 on the season.
Jonesville went on to a 7-2 season that year, while Hillsdale went 2-5-1. The Hornets got the last laugh, however. Two seasons later they went undefeated and claimed the State Championship.

Talk to us about Cisco UCS
Contact one of the NVINT UCS team members today by filling out this page. We will be sure to get in touch with you promptly!
We have worked with NVINT since 2013 on successive IT infrastructure projects that include private cloud implementations with dedicated hardware and colocation services. These projects have been 100% successful. NVINT has provided knowledgeable consulting advice, as well as highly responsive implementation services. Kyle, as the project team lead, has proven to be very reliable getting the projects completed on time and as promised. I feel that NVINT understands our business and realizes that the success of our IT projects directly correlates to success in our business.
We've bought products from NVINT for about 3 years now. Just recently, however, we've embarked on a major project to overhaul our old Dell servers. We reached out to multiple companies to help us migrate off of old hardware, and provide a world class disaster recovery plan. After calling NVINT, Patrick came and learned about our company and our needs, and provided multiple thoughtful options. Where other companies had been using "tunnel vision" to solve our issues, Patrick at NVINT proposed solutions that looked at our current and future states, and offered a road map for our future growth. We've been very happy with NVINT and will continue to partner with them in the future.
I have been in the computer industry for well over 20 years and I can't remember a single company that is easier to deal with than NVINT. Everyone I have been in contact with has been very polite, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. The entire process was extremely smooth with amazingly quick response times and the technical support has been fantastic! I can sleep comfortably at night knowing they are keeping an eye on my backup data so I don't have to. I would highly recommend any service that NVINT offers!
We've hosted Tourneytopia.com at NVINT for over 7 years now, and every March Madness our traffic continues to spike higher and higher. Our servers barely flinch and the performance has been amazing! This year, we peaked at an average of one March Madness bracket created every two seconds for well over an hour, and you couldn't even tell the site was under a load.

"The Conjuring" looks to cast a spell over audiences this weekend, with our own box-office reporter Amy Kaufman estimating the film with a $20-million budget may open to more than $30 million in ticket sales. It joins other recent return-on-investment horror titles from this year such as "Mama" and "The Purge."
"The Conjuring" is expected to better the supernatural buddy-cop flick "R.I.P.D.," which with its estimated $130 million price tag cost more than six times as much (ouch).
So how does that work? What makes for a (relatively speaking) little-scary-movie-that-could?
Based on a real-life couple, "The Conjuring" stars Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as paranormal investigators called to the remote home of a couple (Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor) and their family of young daughters. Ever since they moved into the house odd things have been happening and it's just getting worse.
The review in the Los Angeles Times by Chicago Tribune critic Michael Phillips called the film "old-school and supremely confident" while also declaring it "this year's miracle." Not the sort of words one usually hears for a demonic possession chiller.
Here are five ways the film capitalized on the creepy:
How much can darkness cost? The film is eerily effective in spinning something from nothing, often leaving the screen mostly dark as characters peer into a corner or enter a darkened basement. The little girls play a variation on hide and seek called "hide and clap" in which they hide around the house and clap to give the seeker clues. And it's terrifying. (And provides the fiilm's trailer with its climactic scare.) Who would have thought so much could be done with clapping in the dark?
Don't hide a good thing. Warner Bros., which is releasing the film, didn't keep it hidden under wraps as is done with so many horror films. Expressing confidence in the film, it ignited a wave of positive buzz for "The Conjuring" with a pair of Friday night screenings at the Los Angeles Film Festival. The film played well to the audience there and began building positive online buzz.
By contrast, "R.I.P.D." was not screened in advance for media or preview audiences. The only press screening for "R.I.P.D." began at 7 p.m. Thursday night, with at least one theater starting a public showing at 7:20 that same night.
Familiar but not overexposed. The characters played by Wilson and Farmiga are based on real-life couple Ed and Lorraine Warren. The movie makes a passing reference to a house in Amityville, as another of the Warren's cases formed the basis for "The Amityville Horror." So while "The Conjuring" plays with familiar horror tropes -- it's a haunted house/demonic possession story at its core -- the characters of the Warrens make for an interesting twist. And there has already been talk of a sequel and continuing their adventures, making them an oddball Nick and Nora Charles for the supernatural set.
Bring on the unexpected. Indie stalwart Lili Taylor seems an odd casting choice for a horror thriller, but her onscreen earnestness brings heart to the whirligig goings-on once the movie's possession plot kicks in. The gentle normalcy she and Livingston give off as concerned and frightened parents makes a fantastic counterpoint to the weird dynamics of Wilson and Farmiga. You kind of want to imagine what that double dinner date might be like.
Scary doesn't have to mean gory. And while director James Wan is perhaps still best known for igniting the "Saw" franchise and its so-called "torture porn" knockoffs, he has shown a taste for more traditional horror before, with his ghost tale "Dead Silence" as well as "Insidious"
"Just because I make scary movies doesn't mean I want to live in a scary world," Wan said during a Q&A at the LAFF. "I'm nothing like the films I make."
Wan will also see the upcoming release of "Insidious: Chapter 2" and will have the chance to prove himself apart from horror again when he takes on "Fast and Furious 7." Unless there are ghost cars in that one, it looks like his biggest shift in direction yet.

The regular season looms so here begins Part 2 of my SWOT analysis of the Jets players coming into 2011-12, with the focus on the forwards this time. Hopefully my analysis is not overly self-contradictory but there is a fine balance to be observed in dealing with the uncertainties of the mena and events that transpire in professional sports.
1. Trending Up:
In looking at four top forwards, we can see that all are on the upswing or rebound in their careers in terms of point totals as they have gained more ice time over the past 3 years. This bodes well for an increased scoring capability for this season, as does their below-average team shooting percentage of only 8.4% in 2010-11 which is unlikely to stay so low given historical trends. For these top scorers, consider the following upswinging Point totals with Games Played and average Time On Ice (in minutes) over the last 3 years showing (oldest year first):
a. Andrew Ladd – 49 Pts in 82 GP (with Chicago) with TOI of 12.88 mins, 38 in 82 with 12.80 TOI (with less ice-time on Stanley Cup winning Hawks), 59 in 81 with 14.40 TOI (Atlanta)
b. Bryan Little – 51 in 79 with 12.18 TOI, 24 in 79 with 12.38 TOI, and 48 in 76 with 13.56 TOI
1. Getting to Know You:
With all the time to be spent travelling as the Jets play divisional away games in the Southeast division this season, it will not hurt team chemistry to have time to get to know your teammates and thereby understand what motivates them. For forward lines who need to learn the patterns of their linemates, off-ice time allows them to discuss what they like to do in certain situations, chat about tendencies of players on opposing teams they are about to play, and just learn how the guys beside them like to operate on the ice. While it is impossible to measure these kinds of factors, we see that teams with time off will often have team get-togethers outside their home cities to foster just this type of team-building spirit, so some validity must be there we assume (or at least the team psychologist says so!)
2. Building for The Future:
This franchise is about as loved as one can get right now as long-suffering Jets fans compare themselves to wrongly-imprisoned men who spent too long in captivity unjustly. Apparently their popularity is nearly approaching Edmonton-Oilers-Winning-All-
1. Fatigue Factor:
As discussed above, while having a young team, the well-travelled Jets may need to rotate in forward numbers 13 and 14 just to keep the team from falling asleep at the bench. Fatigue can lead to more injury-prone players so the Jets medical leader may need to do hire a bigger staff than they had in Atlanta to combat the soreness and low energy the players may get. Players missing games due to injury means lost momentum and chemistry with teammates and probably a few less goals.
2. Party Factor:
Given defenseman Byfuglien's antics in the Minnesota waters, perhaps the youthful enthusiam to hit the night clubs after the games will be too tempting for some of the young forwards, especially if a bad influense is in effect. And hey, I have partied in Florida, it's truly awesome what you can see and do as outlined by the beloved Will Smith in his 1998 single "Miami" – his #1 single of all time. So perhaps the players will want to be like the Fresh Prince and flash their "Big Willie Style" which may be followed the next evening by a little less focus on the puck and too much on the hangover and gloating over other types of "scoring".

text: �I have read news articles speculating on the question: "Was Jesus married?"As a Roman Catholic myself, I generally adhere to the traditional viewpoint that He was not married. However, I find it both humorous (and revealingly serious) that when there is speculation� of this sort: it always points to Jesus being a heterosexual and marrying a woman. Even one news-article made reference to a likely candidate Mary, referring to Mary Magdalene. Some scholars consider her demon-possessed; other scholars consider her a prostitute. I feel that Jesus Christ had a spiritual mentoring friendship with Mary Magdalene; but I find it difficult to believe that He would foster any other type of relationship with such a troubled-person.Whether Jesus the Christ was married or single � that matter will never be settled by the mortal-mind to everyone's satisfaction. It is stated in The Holy Bible that Jesus faced human hardship and was even subjected to temptation by The Devil. Yet, Jesus overcame such temptation. He died on a Cross to pay for the sins of Mankind at-Large.Modern scholars attempting to study tiny fragments of papyrus, tree-bark, or even carvings etched in stone are making a futile attempt. Genuine "Faith" cannot always be supported by materialistic "Science." Faith, by definition, requires an element of implicit, unexplained blind trust.As for myself, as a Roman Catholic with a few Protestant leanings�� I believe in The Holy Trinity: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit). I am somewhat saddened when many people ignore The Holy Spirit. No mention is made as to whether The Holy Ghost was married? While I honor Jesus as the Christ, who is the Messiah in Christian Belief. I also believe that his role, as "the Son" is ��by good Logic and good grammar, ipso facto subordinate to Our Heavenly Father.If all mankind were to practice the Ten Commandments and worthy tenets such as "Love Thy Neighbor"; as well as practice "The Golden Rule": this sphere we call Earth would be a better place, a happier place in which to live.�James A.

'Small ball' just fine for Saints (Sully to the nose?)
'Small ball' just fine for Saints
Free agency strategy a hit for New Orleans
Thursday March 11, 2004
By Jeff Duncan
Staff writer
Sometimes a single does the job. Sometimes the plate assignment doesn't call for a home run. Sometimes a crisp line drive is all that's needed to win the game.
The Saints entered the free-agent signing period with a single-hitter's mentality. In their minds, the situation didn't call for a homer. Boasting a roster laden with good, young talent -- thanks to two consecutive years of aggressive drafting, trading and free-agent acquisition -- the Saints believe they already are in position to score. They didn't need a big inning. They needed a couple of strategic hits.
From Our Advertiser
And that's exactly what they achieved during an efficient and successful first week.
The Saints didn't dole out $58 million in signing bonuses like the Washington Redskins. They didn't snare any headline-grabbing stars, as did the Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks. And they didn't overhaul the roster with new faces like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which signed eight players during the first eight days.
But the Saints' brain trust of General Manager Mickey Loomis, Director of Player Personnel Rick Mueller and Coach Jim Haslett is no less pleased with the performance one week into the free-agent signing period.
"We're off to a good start," Loomis said. "I wouldn't say we're done yet, but we like our start so far."
Loomis started his offseason plan with an 18-point "things to do" checklist. In eight days, he checked off six of his most important items:
-- Retain Darren Howard. This was by far the top priority. Howard is the Saints' best defender. He's entering his prime and is one of coordinator Rick Venturi's cornerstones. The club couldn't risk letting a player of his caliber hit the open market, and was wise to designate him as the franchise player. The eight-year, $62.6 million contract Philadelphia gave the Tennessee Titans defensive end Jevon Kearse could easily have been used to land Howard.
-- Re-sign cornerbacks Fred Thomas and Fakhir Brown. Thomas was priority No. 2. While Saints fans longed to sign a big-name like Charles Woodson, Shawn Springs or Antoine Winfield, Thomas is a better bargain.
In the past three seasons, Thomas' statistics compare favorably with two other top free agent corners who signed more expensive deals: Ahmed Plummer and Winfield.
Starting 45 games, Plummer had 195 tackles, 12 interceptions and 39 pass break-ups; Winfield had 243 tackles, three interceptions and 27 pass break-ups; and Thomas had 234 tackles, 10 interceptions and 37 pass break-ups.
Thomas, 30, is four years older than Winfield and three years older than Plummer. Still, when you consider the five-year, $25 million deal Plummer got with the San Francisco 49ers and the six-year, $35 million deal Winfield received from the Minnesota Vikings, Thomas' four-year, $14 million contract is a steal.
Brown adds depth and maintains continuity. He's also a quality special teamer.
-- Re-sign Derrick Rodgers. Rodgers was the second-leading tackler on the defense last season. He should be primed for a good season with a year of experience in the system.
-- Sign a backup running back. The Saints targeted Aaron Stecker during the regular season. Haslett made a point of greeting Stecker before the Saints' Dec. 7 meeting against Tampa Bay at the Superdome.
A collection of castoffs and broken-down aging veterans have manned this spot since Haslett took control in 2000. The ball has been handed from Chad Morton to Jerald Moore to Terry Allen to Curtis Keaton to Ki-Jana Carter to Lamar Smith. None has been the answer.
While Stecker won't remind anyone of Walter Payton, he's a quality veteran with enough running skills and play-making ability to keep defenses honest if Deuce McAllister goes down. He's also an outstanding player on special teams. Teams that tried to kick away from Michael Lewis on kickoffs last season will have to worry about Stecker next season.
-- Sign a defensive tackle. This was the primary need on the open market. The postseason evaluation of the defense revealed a huge hole at defensive tackle next to rookie Johnathan Sullivan.
Brian Young isn't going to make the Pro Bowl next season, but he'll play a critical, complementary role. He'll play the three-technique position and be the attacking, penetrating presence the line has lacked since La'Roi Glover left in 2002.
Contracts for the six signees account for half of the $22 million in cap room the Saints had when they entered free agency. They have $11 million remaining.
With some of that money, they'd like to sign a veteran cornerback, perhaps Juran Bolden, and perhaps another defensive lineman and offensive lineman to bolster depth.
"We're at the point now where we're talking about adding depth at good value," Loomis said. "The other things we really would like to do, we can do in the draft."
Of course, not everything went as planned. Fullback Terrelle Smith and tight end Walter Rasby are headed elsewhere.
Rasby was the third tight end who played mainly as a blocker. His loss is inconsequential in the grand scheme. But Smith, who was close to signing with the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday night, was the biggest blow. The Saints wanted the physical four-year veteran back, but they weren't about to break the bank for a player who played on 38 percent of the offensive snaps last season and does not contribute on special teams.
"It's a blow," Loomis said. "We would have liked to have kept Terrelle, but he got a better deal. That's why it's called free agency."
Otherwise, though, Loomis had few complaints. And he should be content. The Saints played "small ball" and did it effectively.

I\'ve been thinking about this signing quite a bit, too, Danno. My only conclusion is that Pease had a great deal of influence over the decision to change d-line philosophy again.
The negative side of me wants to say, \"Here we go again.\" More circles, ya know?
The positive side of me wants to think that Pease may bring some stability to our defensive strategy. I also remember that our defense was very successful back when we had Glover. I wouldn\'t mind if Young started reminding us of one of my favorite (ex)Saints.
The big question for me is whether or not Sullivan can handle the role of run-stuffer. We\'ll find out pretty soon.

Sully is Hand\'s size, no? We had a pretty good front four with Johson, Glover, Hand, and Howard. Grant is as good as Johnson - not the pass rusher but more of a run stuffer, and Sully can certainly be better than Hand. I like it. Now we need three linebackers who can play the run, rush the passer, or God forbid, do both.
