In 2147, two years after the Mars Base fiasco, the Union Aerospace Corporation drove the Expendable Resource Reconnaissance Bill through World Government. Primarily, the bill was intended to avoid further waste of valuable resources when returning to the sealed off facility. The average space marine cost over two million dollars to train and equip - each lost marine represented a serious drain on UAC resources. The ERRB solved this problem by ensuring a steady supply of low cost resources for missions with high casualty rates from maximum security prisons. The most valuable assets came from the Glasshouse: marines who had refused to bear arms. These prisoners were highly trained, psychologically stable and displayed strong survival instincts. And, of course, if they never made it back, they wouldn't be missed. You're going back to Mars. But this time, your shotgun has only got rubber bullets in it.

Undecided women voters, especially on Long Island, came into sharp focus during the Hofstra presidential debate. The pundits insist that job growth is the single critical issue for voters, including women — especially undecided women.
That turns out to be a soft number. According to a Gallup poll published by CNN, up to 39 percent of women voters consider abortion rights to be the single most important issue. That is a big number.
In this season of masks and disguises, Mitt Romney has picked a chilling persona: He is running as an extremely right-wing candidate who promises to overturn Roe v. Wade, the decision that guarantees women the right to terminate a pregnancy. He donned a different disguise when he was running for governor of Massachusetts. Then he was proudly pro-choice, and he rode that decision to the governor's mansion.
Last week on "The View," Ann Romney — Mitt apparently was afraid to take on the "sharp-tongued" women hosts — said her husband was pro-choice as a candidate in Massachusetts, but became anti-choice when he considered legislation that would permit "experimentation" on embryos. That so-called experimentation was stem cell research, which even a died-in-the-red Republican like Nancy Reagan supports. The former first lady knows that the scourges of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and spinal cord injuries will benefit from stem cell research. All of which is a separate issue from a woman's right to choose. Ann Romney just tried to give Mitt cover for his political duplicity.
I will vote for President Obama because I believe he will continue to bolster the economy, create jobs and keep the country safe. Romney's plans for a continued economic recovery are vague and mysterious. On the debate stage last week, the former governor wore yet another mask — that of a candidate who cares for the "100 percent." Man, did that sound hollow. You simply cannot denigrate 47 percent of Americans in a closed-door conversation as he did, and then pretend to be empathic and a champion of the underserved and underprivileged. Apparently he sees the 47 percent as a kind of underclass.

I do have a BA in Chemistry, have taught computers, HTML programming and Economics at two year colleges, plus several years in the chmical field, and owned my own business. I have no "English" Certifications other than being an American. I would have to have accompanied status, however my wife lived for 11 years in Saudi Arabia, so culturally UAE and Oman present no issues. She has no teaching experience, and a Bachelors in Political Science. KSA is not really an option at the moment for us. Having said all that, the question is what is the fastest way to get the necessary requirments to teach (ESL or somthing else?) in the UAE or Oman. I do realize the higher standard of living is in the UAE. Thanks In advance.

Innovation Ventures LLC, owner of Living Essentials Marketing LLC — which markets 5-Hour Energy — has maintained an energetic growth rate for sales and revenues on the strength of its category-buster energy booster product. But the company and its entrepreneurial owner Manoj Bhargava hit a wall at the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Innovation Ventures had applied to register the phrase hours of energy now for "dietary supplements" and "non-alcoholic liquids for human consumption, namely, energy shots." But the USPTO examiner refused registration, determining that the phrase was incapable of functioning as a trademark to identify the source of origin of the listed goods.
Innovation Ventures appealed the decision to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, but the Board affirmed the USPTO's refusal to register. The TTAB began its explanation upholding the denial to reverse by admitting that advertising phrases and slogans are not unregistrable per se. However, it also explained, a phrase or slogan that does not function as a trademark to indicate the source of the applicant's goods and to identify and distinguish them from others cannot be registered.
The critical inquiry in determining whether a slogan functions as a mark, explained the Board, is how the proposed mark would be perceived by the relevant public. The examining attorney successfully argued that the company uses the phrase hours of energy now in conjunction with other phrases to tout the characteristics of its product. In deciding how the average purchaser will perceive and react to applicant's proposed mark, both the USPTO's examiner and the TTAB do look to the applicant's submitted specimens to see if they convey use as a mark. Matter that is merely informational is not registrable as a mark.
To support the argument to deny registration, the examiner had relied heavily on the applicant's own specimens of record and the company's website. Innovation Ventures had submitted three specimens showing how it uses its proposed mark: on the containers (shot bottles) for the goods, on point-of-purchase cartons containing the shot bottles, and on stand-alone displays.
On the first two of these, the shot bottle and the carton, the phrase "Hours of energy now*" is used together with other informational text, in less prominent position than the mark 5-HOUR ENERGY. The phrase is presented as part of a bullet-point listing of self-laudatory phrases detailing apparent characteristics of the product: No crash later, Sugar free, and 0 net carbs. And, although the phrase Hours of energy now is followed by an asterisk, there is no indication on the specimens as to what the asterisk may be intended to reference.
The USPTO's examiner also submitted copies of web advertising from two companies that distribute the product online. The Board explained that these advertisements clearly identify 5-HOUR ENERGY as the applicant's mark, by displaying the wording prominently. In one case, the use was accompanied by the registration symbol, ®.
However, with respect to the applicant's slogan hours of energy now, the distributors use the phrase as the applicant does: that is, together with other similar informational phrases previously noted. The TTAB used this evidence to support its holding that the relevant purchasing public has been educated to understand that the phrase is informational for a product that is fast-acting and long-lasting.
As such, the TTAB held that the applicant's hours of energy now phrase, as actually used by the applicant and evidenced by the specimens of record, merely informs prospective purchasers that its products will provide an immediate boost of energy upon consumption and that the increased levels of energy will last for several hours. Because the proposed mark would be perceived as merely touting the fast-acting and long-lasting qualities of the product, and not identifying its source of origin, the Board ruled, the slogan is incapable of functioning as a trademark.
This case prompts several questions. First, one might wonder if the company could have avoided this outcome at the TTAB had it used the trademark symbol TM as opposed to an asterisk on its product packaging. This is doubtful. While the Board clearly did not take the presence of the asterisk as referencing an intent by the applicant to claim trademark protection for the slogan, it did explain that the mere intent that a term function as a trademark is not in and of itself sufficient to make a term a trademark, any more than attachment of the trademark symbol would be.
After this case, it does not appear that placing the TM symbol on a phrase would automatically obviate the issue of whether a claimed mark functions as a trademark. As the Board explained in the 1987 Remington case (In re Remington Prods. Inc.) affirming the failure of a mark to function, use of the trademark symbol on a product does not make unregistrable matter into a trademark.
Second, it is interesting how claims by the applicant's own distributors came back to hurt the applicant's case. This shows how, even though a company might love its distributors and would want them to help publicize its product, the marketing organization needs to make sure that their efforts protect the company's trademarks and align with its marketing and trademark strategy.
Finally, I wonder whether conducting a survey would have helped the applicant in this situation. If the focus of the Board's inquiry is to determine how prospective purchasers view the applied-for mark, then had Innovation Ventures conducted a consumer survey and seen favorable results—findings that support the argument that the phrasing has a strong secondary meaning for consumers—surely this would have made it more difficult for the Board to hold that potential consumers do not view the phrase as a mark.
But Innovation Ventures conducted no such survey. Maybe the company figured it wouldn't work to continue arguing with the TTAB; maybe it just didn't have the energy. Now we'll never know.

New Mexico State University College of Engineering Professor Tom Jenkins is developing tools to show New Mexico's farmers and ranchers how they can use one of our state's most plentiful resources, the sun, to access one of the most scarce, water.
In New Mexico, wells can range from 10 to 1,000 feet in depth.
"When you are 20 miles from the nearest electrical outlet, that makes things a little difficult," said Tom Jenkins, professor of engineering technology and head of the department's renewable energy program. "Solar power is a great option because it's so available in New Mexico where the sun shines nearly every day of the year. Wind is not as reliable, depending on location, and geothermal and hydroelectric sources are less viable options."
Jenkins has developed a computerized tool, the Solar Water Pumping Design Specification Spreadsheet, which can help farmers and ranchers with the basic process of designing a solar water pumping system that will help them determine feasibility and make implementation decisions.
Users can enter information about the depth of their well, its location, if it will be used for watering livestock, how many and what type of livestock, other daily water requirements, etc. The spreadsheet will recommend the volume of water needed and how much storage will be needed as reserve for cloudy days. The system will recommend a hardware layout for the given application, how many panels will be needed, pump and pipe size. The spreadsheet, available in both English and Spanish, also has an economic component that will help estimate how much a system might cost.
The ability to enter different values into the spreadsheet allows users the opportunity to investigate different scenarios before making final decisions on solar-powered water pumping system designs.
The project arose after Jenkins attended a presentation by the Cooperative Extension Service, which surveyed its agents serving the state's 33 counties about what kind of engineering assistance is needed by Extension clientele. The response was alternative sources of energy technology that would help them address the challenges associated with the availability of water.
The spreadsheet and associated documentation can be found at http://www.engr.nmsu.edu/outreach_solar.shtml.
Initially, Jenkins, along with fellow engineering technology professor Kenny Stevens, partnered with the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences to create a series of short videos that promote renewable energy. The videos can be viewed at http://www.engr.nmsu.edu/outreach.professional.shtml.
Then, in the spring 2011 semester, Jenkins presented his ideas to engineering technology seniors as possible projects for their senior capstone design courses--the culmination of the engineering
curriculum at NMSU, requiring students to utilize knowledge and skills acquired throughout their coursework.
Lloyd Vigil and Christian Garces took on the Solar Water Pumping Design Specification Spreadsheet as their senior capstone project in the spring 2011 semester.
At the same time, Cody Anderson, Felicia Costales and Andres Galvan, under the tutelage of Craig Ricketts, associate engineering technology professor, designed and built a portable solar-powered water pumping demonstration unit that could be taken into the field. The unit can simulate pumping from depths up to 400 feet. It is outfitted with a small solar panel that collects heat energy from sunlight and converts it to electricity to power a high-pressure a submersible pump in a 50-gallon storage vessel. It is available for extension agents to demonstrate how solar power could be used to pump well water to the agricultural community.
Jenkins received funding from the Engineering New Mexico Resource Network and the New Mexico Space Grant Consortium to further develop the spreadsheet, which, in conjunction with the Cooperative Extension Service, was presented to agents in Corona, N.M as a short course in late November. It is hoped that extension agents use the spreadsheet to assist their clientele in the agricultural community.
Jenkins has applied for additional funding to continue developing the spreadsheet and hopes to release a second version of the spreadsheet with new features. He also is contemplating solutions for two other farming issues: water that freezes in the winter and water with high concentrations of dissolved minerals, particularly sulfur.
"My particular area of interest is in renewable energy," said Jenkins. "There is a lot of expertise throughout the College of Engineering that could be utilized for the benefit of the New Mexico agricultural community."
"The Engineering New Mexico Resource Network is committed to developing innovative approaches to help improve the quality of life for the residents of our state," said Ricardo B. Jacquez, dean of the College of Engineering.

Going through my mam's clothes cupboards and dressers during this past week, and sorting through the items which mark the life that was my mother's, I had my own 'love, loss and what she wore' moments.
My mam was an elegant and stylish woman who always wore good quality clothing which she kept in immaculate condition. In each bedroom of her home, as I opened the cupboard, I looked at the sum total of its contents before touching anything. With a heavy heart I began the ritual of carefully taking out each piece of clothing, looking it over, folding it up, setting it aside, and remembering.
Some of the oldest clothes are imbued with the scent of Chanel No. 5, the fragrance my mother always wore when I was a child. Standing inside the small cupboard of the bedroom which she once shared with my father, I found myself drawing the dresses, jackets and sweaters close up to my face. With eyes closed, I breathed in the fragrance of Mother, and remembered the small moments: Mam touching the stopper of the tiny Chanel bottle to the pulse points on her wrists; Mam dabbing a touch of perfume just beneath the lobe of each ear.
|Mam with Dad looking stylish in Casablanca, Morocco
In later years my mother developed a love for solid perfume, and I would buy one for her every Christmas. In the pocket of a couple of her jackets I found some of the solid perfume compacts. The perfume had long ago been used up, but the compacts are still there, small and lovely, with just the slightest hint of fragrance remaining. I picked up each one, ran my fingers over their smooth covers, and held them close to draw in the sweet scent. The soft click as I closed each one evoked memories of the joy I felt in choosing them just for her, and the smile that came over her face when she opened them each Christmas.
There are the soft pastel coloured sweaters in cable knit, the finely embroidered blouses in silk, the tweed suits and wool dress jackets. There are the tops and t-shirts from her world travels. There are the simple cotton shirts and trousers which were used only for gardening. Every piece brings me to a place of memory.
At the back of her closet there is the black suit Mam wore to my dad's funeral. I recall the deep quiet of the shopping trip to choose that suit. There was no joy; it was a task of utility. Mam never again donned that black suit.
In the cupboard of my old bedroom hangs the lovely black and white dress I persuaded her to buy for a dinner/dance. Mam didn't want to try it on because it has short sleeves. As she aged, my mam disliked the way her arms looked in short sleeves, but I talked her into buying the dress because she looked wonderful in it. I recall my father's eyes wrinkling with laughter on the evening of the dance, as he watched her in that dress move down the stairs toward him.
In a dresser drawer, layers of silk slips lie silent, in shades of muted pink and ecru. In another, a sea of beautifully tinted silk scarves sit square at attention, waiting for her to draw one out and gently wrap it around her throat.
In the lapels of dress jackets there are small jewelled pins just waiting for Mam to come unpin them, and return them to their place in her lingerie drawer. Instead that task has fallen to me. I gently unclip each pin and draw it from the lapel, carefully smoothing the fabric so it looks as though no pin had ever pierced it.
Soon all the clothing Mam had will be gone from her home, given to charity, passed on to others, but locked within each piece is a memory. The wearer may not know that it is there, but still it will remain, as another woman creates her own memories in the clothes once worn by Mam.

May 21, 2005
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Junior Uzoma Orji cruised to individual event victories in the shot put and hammer throw, leading MIT men's track and field to a fifth-place finish out of the 51 schools that scored at the 2005 ECAC Championship. The Engineers placed in every event they entered, finishing near the top of the team standings with only five athletes making the trek.
Orji tossed a personal best of 188'8" to win the hammer, producing his best effort on the first throw of finals. He also grabbed the shot put crown with a modest throw of 55'3.5". Orji will head to next week's NCAA Championships ranked sixth in the shot put and seventh in the hammer throw.
David Saylor provided more fuel for the MIT field attack, finishing fourth overall in the hammer with a personal-best 177'7". Clearing the provisional mark, Saylor is also in line to make the trip to Wartburg College for the national championships.
The track events were paced by the sprint duo of David Blau and Zach Traina. Blau scored in both the 100 and 200, finishing eighth in each event. His effort in the 200 caused great excitement for head coach Halston Taylor, who measured Blau's success against a ferocious headwind. His split of 22.32 was his second fastest clip ever in the event. Traina was slow out of the blocks, but still finished sixth in the 200 with a time of 22.19.
Continuing a tremendous comeback, Brian Anderson looked to cement his place at the NCAA Outdoor Championships with a career-effort at ECAC's in the 800. Although Anderson paced the first quarter perfectly and took the lead heading into the next turn, he faded slightly down the stretch and finished fifth with a clip of 1:54. Eariler this season, Anderson split 1:52 to provisionally qualify for nationals.

More Evidence Suggests That iPhone App Store Doesn't Really Sell That Much...
from the ain't-looking-so-good dept
Newsweek is presenting some more evidence -- albeit anecdotal -- that the iPhone App Store isn't making very many people very much money at all. There are, certainly, a few folks at the top who are doing okay, but for most people there just aren't that many sales -- or the cost of getting those sales greatly outweighs the revenue that came in from them.
This isn't to say that the iPhone App Store is a failure. In fact, I'd argue it's been a huge success in making the iPhone significantly more valuable. But as evidence that there's a huge market out there of people willing to pay for content if it's just packaged up nicely? There's just not enough there to be convincing.

The Hotel dei Consoli was our refuge during 4 hot days in Rome. The A/C was super as was the sound insulation, though we were on the alley side and not on the busy Via de Cola Rienza. All staff were very friendly, rooftop breakfast with a view of St. Peters was very good (even a few hot items, unusual for Italy). Our room was small but elegant, I highly recommend.

Très bonne situation à 2 pas du Vatican, 5 minutes du métro. Très belle chambre, personnel sympa et petit déj. excellent pour Rome (grand choix, ...). Aucun défaut! Rapport qualité/pix excellent pour Rome, à recommander...

The sweeping staircase is the first thing you notice when you walk into this historic beautifully renovated townhouse. Elegant, old fashioned décor including stained glass windows and real fireplaces make a stay here the quintessential English experience. But don't be fooled by the quiet, the bustle of the city is just outside the door. Located in Kensington, attraction such as Victoria and Albert Museum and Kensington Palace are close by. Alternatively Gloucester Road underground station is just opposite allowing for easy access to the West End Theatres and other central London attractions.

Just Because A Judge Signs A Warrant, Doesn't Make It Legal...
from the just-saying dept
As an example of this in a somewhat different context, Julian Sanchez points us to the story of a San Francisco pot bust gone wrong. In this case, the San Francisco police filed for a warrant to search 243 Diamond St. for drugs and associated proceeds for drugs. The warrant described the address as a "two-story, one-unit" building, and the officer claimed he had staked it out for two days and two nights.
It turns out that 243 Diamond is neither two stories, nor is it a one-unit building. It's three stories and two units, and the upper unit (the one raided by the SFPD) happens to be rented to a guy named Clark Freshman... who also just so happens to be a law professor. He told the SFPD and DEA agents who raided his place that they were breaking the law, and they "laughed at" him. Except Freshman may get the last laugh, as he's planning to sue the government. The article quotes another lawyer saying that in similar cases "people have sued and collected substantial settlements" and noting that "whomever is representing the government better get out his checkbook."
While not quite the same, there do seem to be a fair number of similarities with some of the domain seizures. In both cases, the affidavit filed had some very serious errors -- the types of errors that shouldn't have been made. In both cases -- especially with the mooo.com seizure -- perfectly innocent people were severely impacted by these mistakes in the process. Just because a judge rubber stamps a warrant, it doesn't automatically make that warrant legal.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 6.x -- Using Multiserver Meetings
From DocWiki
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 6.x > Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server > Scheduling and Attending Meetings
Scheduling Multiserver Meetings
When setting up a multiserver meeting, you need to schedule individual meetings on each Cisco Unified MeetingPlace server and specify which systems are responsible for connecting all the servers. The server responsible for this connection is the primary server.
At the start of the meeting, the primary server places a call to the secondary servers. The secondary servers then add the primary server to the meeting just as they would any participant who dialed into their system. The primary server communicates information to the secondary servers by using DTMF signaling over the phone connection.
For example, to schedule a meeting between New York City, London, and Hong Kong, set up one meeting on each server. These three separate meetings then connect into one multiserver meeting as soon as the primary server establishes a connection with the other servers. If the New York City server is the primary server, the connections look like Figure: Supported Setup for a Multiserver Meeting.
Figure: Supported Setup for a Multiserver Meeting
Before scheduling a multiserver meeting, we recommend that you write down which servers are involved in the meeting and which server you want as the primary server.
Scheduling Multiserver Meetings with Video Conferencing
Video participants can join a multiserver meeting and communicate with other participants using other Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106 or 8112 servers through the audio (or voice) links. If both servers also have a Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) attached and video participants join the same multiserver meeting from different Cisco Unified Videoconferencing MCU units, the participants from each Cisco Unified Videoconferencing MCU can hear each other through the audio links. However, because there are two separate video conferences being hosted on each Cisco Unified Videoconferencing MCU, the video participants from both conferences cannot see each other.
For example, a multiserver meeting is in session between server 1 and server 2. Each server has MCU units. If User A joins the video conference on the MCU1 unit(s) and User B joins the video conference on the MCU2 unit(s), User A and User B can hear each other through audio links. However, they cannot see each other from their video endpoints.
Figure: Multiserver Meeting with Video Conferencing illustrates the communication path of the video participants in the multiserver meeting.
Figure: Multiserver Meeting with Video Conferencing
Inviting Participants and Attaching Documents
Because you schedule more than one Cisco Unified MeetingPlace server, special considerations need to be made when inviting participants and attaching documents.
When inviting participants to a multiserver meeting, each server is responsible for sending out its own notifications. In the previous example, the New York City server sends out notifications for participants that were invited to join the meeting on that server. Although the New York City server is the primary server, it is not responsible for sending out notifications for the Hong Kong and London servers.
When attaching documents to a multiserver meeting, remember to attach the same document to each server involved in the meeting. For example, if you attach a document to the London and New York City servers but forget to attach it to the Hong Kong server, the participants on the Hong Kong server cannot access the attachment.
Using MeetingTime to Schedule Multiserver Meetings
When scheduling a multiserver meeting using MeetingTime, do not assign more than one primary server to the meeting.
Before you begin, make sure the following are true:
- Your user profile exists on all the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace servers that are involved in the multiserver meeting
- You have multiserver scheduling privileges on each profile
Do the following procedures, in the order presented:
- To Schedule a Meeting on the Secondary Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Server
- To Schedule a Meeting on the Primary Server
To Schedule a Meeting on the Secondary Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Server
- In MeetingTime, log in to the secondary server (the one to receive a call from the primary server).
- Select the Schedule tab, and fill in the meeting details. Add any necessary attachments.
- Make note of the meeting ID, because you will use this same number when you schedule the other servers.
- For the # of Calling Sites parameter, be sure to include the primary server in this number.
- For example, if three people from different locations will call into this server, make this number 4 .
- If you do not want to invite participants to this meeting, click the Schedule Meeting button and skip to Step 9. To invite participants, choose the Participants option and continue with Step 5.
- Select a participant who will connect to this secondary server, and click Add . Continue selecting and adding all participants who will connect to this server.
- For example, if you schedule a New York City to London meeting in which London is the secondary server, add only the participants who will call into the London server. Do not add the participants who will call into the New York City server.
- From the drop-down list, choose Receive Call from a MeetingPlace Server .
- If you do not see this option, change your user profile to let you schedule multiserver meetings. To change your user profile, see the Allowing Users to Schedule Multiserver Meetings.
- For Server Name, choose the primary server and click Add .
- When you have added all participants and the primary server to the meeting, click Schedule Meeting .
- If any other secondary servers need to be scheduled, log in to those servers and repeat Step 2 through Step 8.
To Schedule a Meeting on the Primary Server
- Log in to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server system that will be the primary server.
- In the MeetingTime Schedule tab, fill in the meeting details.
- Be sure to use the same meeting ID, date, and start time used when scheduling the secondary servers, and add any attachments if necessary.
- In the # of Calling Sites parameter, include the number of secondary servers that will be involved in the meeting.
- For example, if three people from different locations will call into this primary server and you have scheduled two secondary servers, make this value 5 .
- Choose the Participants option.
- If you want to invite any participants to this primary server, add them to the meeting.
- From the drop-down list, choose Place Call to a MeetingPlace Server .
- If you do not see this option, change your user profile to let you schedule multiserver meetings. To change your user profile, see the Allowing Users to Schedule Multiserver Meetings.
- For Server Name, choose the name of the secondary server that you scheduled in the To Schedule a Meeting on the Secondary Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Server.
- Verify that the meeting ID is the same one you used when scheduling the secondary server, then click Add .
- If you scheduled more than one secondary server, be sure to add each one to the meeting.
- When you have added all participants and the secondary servers to the meeting, click Schedule Meeting .
Cancelling or Changing Details of Multiserver Meetings
To cancel or make changes to a multiserver meeting that has already been scheduled, you can use MeetingTime to reschedule or delete these meetings. However, the changes you make affect only the meeting on the server you are logged into. If you need to make changes that affect the entire multiserver meeting, you must reschedule or delete the meetings on the other Cisco Unified MeetingPlace servers.
To Cancel or Change Details of a Multiserver Meeting
- Log in to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace server that contains the meeting you want to change.
- In the MeetingTime Schedule tab, select the meeting you want to change.
- If you do not see the meeting listed, use the Look for Meeting ID field to search for the meeting.
- Make the changes to the meeting.
- To cancel the entire multiserver meeting, click Cancel Meeting and then log in to the other servers to delete the other meetings.
- Click Save Changes .
- Only the meeting on the server you are logged into is updated. If you have rescheduled the time or date of the meeting, make sure you update the meetings on the other servers as well.
- To make the same changes on the other Cisco Unified MeetingPlace servers, repeat Step 1 through Step 4.
Multiserver Meeting Features
The same Cisco Unified MeetingPlace features used in a single server meeting can be used in a multiserver environment. Some of these features, however, do not carry their function across all servers involved in the multiserver meeting.
Table: Multiserver Meeting Features describes the features that participants can use when attending a multiserver meeting.
Table: Multiserver Meeting Features
|Multiserver Meeting Function
Roll call
Announces the names of the participants connected on the same server. Roll call does not announce the names of participants connected to another Cisco Unified MeetingPlace server.
Record meeting
Records the entire multiserver meeting and stores the recording on the server that requested the recording. As soon as a participant activates the recording feature, a prompt informs all participants that the meeting is being recorded. If participants want the meeting recording to be stored on all servers involved in the meeting, someone from each server must initiate the recording.
Web Conferencing
Allows a document to be shared and collaborated over the entire multiserver meeting as long as there are ports available on the primary server that initiated the web conference. For more information, see the Using Web Conferencing in Multiserver Meetings.
Lock meeting
Allows participants to lock the meeting on the server they are connected to. This feature does not lock the entire multiserver meeting unless one person on each server performs this function.
Meeting message
Announces voice messages to all multiserver meeting participants.
Breakout session
Allows participants connected to the same server to form subgroups by breaking off from the main meeting. This feature does not support participants on different servers to go into the same breakout session.
Allows a participant to mute their phone line.
View attachments
Allows access to documents, recordings, and URLs if they are attached to the same server the participant is connected to.
Allows any participant with outdial privileges to place a call to another person, team, or server and add them to the meeting. For instructions on how to use the outdial feature to add another server to a meeting, see the Using the Outdial Feature to Add Servers.
Announcement prompts
Announces the entry and departure of all meeting participants.
Automatic reconnect operation
When this feature is enabled, a primary server that has lost its connection to a secondary server automatically redials the secondary server to reestablish the meeting. If the connection between two servers becomes lost, users should wait for the connection to be re-established. This feature does not need to be enabled or configured by a system administrator.
Using the Outdial Feature to Add Servers
If you have outdial privileges, you can use your touch-tone phone to add another Cisco Unified MeetingPlace server to your meeting. To do so, you must know the other server ID number and the meeting ID of the meeting that you want to connect to.
To Use the Outdial Feature to Add Servers
- From within the meeting, press #39 on your touch-tone phone.
- When prompted, enter the ID number of the server you want to add to the meeting.
- Press 1 to continue.
- When prompted, enter the meeting ID of the meeting that you want to connect to.
- Press 1 to continue.
- Enter the password of the meeting.
- If no password has been assigned, press # (the pound sign) only.
- When the servers have successfully connected, the system announces the entry of the server you outdialed.
Using Web Conferencing in Multiserver Meetings
When a meeting begins, the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace server automatically informs the Web Conferencing server to set up a web conference for the same number of user licenses that were reserved for the system. For example, if a 25-user license meeting were about to start on Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server, a 25-user license web conference would also be set up on the Web Conferencing server.
In a multiserver environment, the primary server hosts the web conference. Users on a secondary server are redirected to the Web Conferencing server for the primary server. Cisco Unified MeetingPlace automatically accommodates all web conference participants in the entire multiserver meeting.
For example, if a multiserver meeting is being conducted between New York City and London and a participant on the New York City server initiates a web conference, everyone on the London server who wants to participate in the web conference has their IP connection directed to the New York City server. These users still use their user licenses on the London server for the voice conference, but use user licenses on the New York City server for the web conference.

Although I've worked as a university-based Jewish educator for my entire adult life, I have to admit that I don't find most academic literature about education, even about Jewish education, engaging.
Perhaps I'm being unfair, but such literature usually seems either obvious or full of jargon (or both). But one Jewish educational thinker whose teachings, personality and writing have interested and inspired me for more than 40 years is Prof. Michael Rosenak of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Rosenak, born in Germany in 1932, grew up and was educated in New York. Soon after the creation of the State of Israel, he made aliyah and lived the rest of his life there. A friendly and generous person, his death a few months ago was a sad occasion for his family, friends and his many students. Rosenak often visited Toronto and was instrumental in helping set up the Jewish teacher education program at York University, which has since trained dozens of teachers who work in Jewish day schools in Canada and beyond. This summer, a collection of his essays was published posthumously, Covenant and Community: Six Essays on Contemporary Jewish Life and Education. (The book is available both in a hard-cover edition and as an ebook.)
Rosenak, a modern Orthodox Jew, respected all varieties of Jewish expression. He asked important and difficult questions about how to educate Jews to commitment. His approach was philosophical, but his book is refreshingly free of educational and philosophical jargon. The essays cover topics that all concerned Jews should think about: what is the significance of the establishment of the State of Israel? What, if anything, can be said by an educator about the meaning of the Holocaust? What does Jewish peoplehood mean, both for Jews who accept the idea of a covenant with God and for those who see it in terms of a people's shared fate?
One chapter outlines six different ways in which thinking Jews have related to the impressive and perhaps "miraculous" victory of the Israeli army in the Six-Day War, ranging from "active messianism," to "gratitude for God's miracles," to "anti-Zionist negation of religious-historical meaning." In this chapter, as throughout the book, Rosenak doesn't really advocate one position (although the astute reader will immediately notice that some positions are not to his liking). And while I've always found "gratitude for God's miracles" a meaningful approach when thinking about the Six-Day War, I had to think hard about Rosenak's concern that, from an educational perspective, "one may learn from the experience of Elijah [in I Kings 18] that miracles have little staying power."
The chapter that spoke most strongly to me and has challenged me to rethink how I teach was about the problem of "translation" in teaching. By translation, he means explaining a text to students as reflecting a set of values that probably was not what the author had in mind.
Rosenak tells two stories involving visits to Bible classes in Israeli high schools. A teacher in a religious high school was teaching the story of how King Saul's monarchy slowly unravelled and David became the king. When the teacher came to the verse, "The spirit of God departed from Saul" (I Samuel 16:14), he explained that this meant that Saul became clinically depressed and "he was in a deep melancholia." A bright student in the class challenged the teacher: "Why do you call Saul's problem melancholy? The Bible says exactly was his problem was: God's spirit had departed from him. Everyone knows what it means. It happens at some time to everyone. Who has not had this experience of God leaving him?" The teacher tried to defend himself: "I am just explaining what these words 'God's spirit departed' can mean to the reader today; what explanations help him 'get the picture.'"
In the second vignette, a teacher in a secular Israeli high school was teaching the moving "Valley of the Dry Bones" vision in Ezekiel chapter 37. Ezekiel lived and prophesied after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem by the Babylonians 2,600 years ago. The teacher explained that the Jews were despondent after the destruction of the Temple, and Ezekiel decided to rebuild their morale by describing his vision of a valley filled with dry human bones that suddenly come back to life. Again, one of the students pointed out to the teacher that it seems inappropriate to attribute any particular motive to Ezekiel. According to the Bible, Ezekiel said what he said because God told him to.
These stories exemplify for Rosenak one of the biggest challenges of Jewish education today. We have a tradition and a set of traditional texts in which God and God's covenant with Israel are front and centre. But for many contemporary Jews, Jewish education and Jewish identity have a humanistic and cultural orientation. Note that one of Rosenak's examples took place in a religious school. Even modern religious Jews also often turn to humanistic and psychological explanations of the Bible instead of talking about God.
Rosenak doesn't argue that this "translation" is bad (nor that it's good). But he wants educators and other thinking Jews to realize what they're doing and think through the ramifications of a Judaism where God has a more circumscribed role than in previous generations. Here Rosenak makes one of his rare judgements, suggesting that "cultural" Jewish education can work only if we assume that "the artifacts of Jewish culture are themselves the values to which we educate," a position that he calls dubious, since "one cannot in good conscience demand of anyone that he or she do what previous generations of Jews did, simply because they did it."
Educators and anyone interested in Jewish identity will find much of value in this work of a fine scholar and a true gentleman.

'Anything Goes' review: Get going
Anything Goes: Musical comedy. Music and lyrics by Cole Porter. Book by P.G. Wodehouse et al. Directed by Kathleen Marshall. Through Feb. 3. Golden Gate Theatre, 1 Taylor St., S.F. Two hours, 35 minutes. $40-$200, subject to change. (888) 746-1799. www.shnsf.com.
"Anything Goes" came into the Golden Gate Theatre on Wednesday and plastered broad grins across the faces in the audience from the moment Rachel York launched "I Get a Kick Out of You" right through the last notes of the finale. A top-notch Cole Porter musical comedy revival does that to you. And this one is notched as close to the top as it gets.
Principal credit has to go to Porter's delectable score and wondrously witty lyrics. But considerable kudos are due director-choreographer Kathleen Marshall's smooth, fleet-footed and boundlessly beguiling stagings as well. SHN is presenting the national tour of Marshall's recent Roundabout Theatre Company production that garnered well-earned Tony Awards for best musical revival and for Marshall's vibrantly eclectic, swirling choreography, with its exhilarating extended ensemble tap-dance break on the title song closing the first act on an unforgettable high.
It's also an almost perfectly cast company, headed by the limber, long-legged York with seductive panache as an inimitable Reno Sweeney, the wayward evangelist turned risque burlesque entertainer. With blithe, jazzy original phrasings and a voice that segues from bourbon smoky-sweet to soaring clarity, she owns every tune she touches - "I Get a Kick," "You're the Top," the endlessly entertaining title song, "Friendship," the showstopping revivalist "Blow, Gabriel, Blow" - despite countless great predecessors all the way back to Ethel Merman in 1934.
It helps that this "Anything" has even more Porter classics than the '34 original. This is basically the 1987 Broadway version, with such added Porter tunes as "Easy to Love" (from "Born to Dance"), "Friendship" ("DuBarry Was a Lady") and, best of all, "It's De-lovely" ("Red, Hot and "Blue") and a rewritten shipboard-romance-farce book by Timothy Crouse and John Weidman, based on the '34 book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse (Timothy's father).
That book, which inaugurated a very fertile partnership (from "Life With Father" to "The Sound of Music"), was a last-minute rewrite of a P.G. Wodehouse-Guy Bolton shipwreck-based libretto, hastily jettisoned after the fatal sinking of a luxury liner off the New Jersey coast.
All that tinkering results in a light, comically convoluted marriage of Jazz Age and contemporary irreverence in blithe harmony with Porter's urbane lyrics. It's the tale of handsome ladies' man but hopeless romantic Billy Crocker - embodied by the wonderful Erich Bergen with leading-man charisma, fine song-and-dance chops and comic versatility. Smitten by socialite Hope Harcourt (a lovely, light-footed Alex Finke), Billy becomes an accidental stowaway on the liner carrying her to be married to an English lord (Edward Staudenmayer, hilarious in a mock-erotic "The Gypsy in Me" tango with York).
In the ensuing cavalcade of high and low jinks, Reno - who has a crush on Billy - helps him get his girl and winds up with a mate of her own. That involves a lot of help and some hindrance from a shipload of small and large parts, including deft, old-school comic Fred Applegate as a con on the run, bawdy-buoyant Joyce Chittick as the voraciously promiscuous Erma, Reno's supporting quartet of sultry, tuneful Angels and a host of smoothly athletic dancers.
Every duet and ensemble dance number delivers new, unexpected delights, matching the thrill of those hidden gems (Chittick's raucous "Buddie, Beware"; Applegate's vaudevillian "Be Like the Blue Bird") among the familiar treasures in the score. Musical director Jay Alger's fine orchestra and the company burnish those songs like the crown jewels they are, proving once again that a shipboard romance always goes better with Porter.

This one seemed happy enough at the San Diego Zoo
Whenever I see a pic of a Koala I have this urge ti snuggle.
Looks v v cute and I like his white bib on which he has spilt his chocolate.
They are certainly cute from afar but I would not mess with such a well armed creature! Happy weekend
Very cute and cuddly :-)
Happy Weekend to you too :-)
Such a cute koala. They surely look cuddly and even if they aren't, perfect for the theme. Hope you have a great weekend JMB and that you are feeling completely well now.
We had one in our tree across the road this week. Cute and cuddly to look at.
Oh, cute! but I'd cuddle a stuffed one instead...:D They are good photo subjects though.
i love your shot! the koala looks indifferent.:p
I've heard that koalas can be quite aggressive but they do look soooo very cute and cuddly!
I loved those cuddly koalas! Cute when they cling onto you but not always friendly.. :P
Oh what a koala animal...happy hunting.
Mine is up
Great shot. Although I had to check that it was indeed a koala and not one of its close cousins, a Drop Bear!
they do look very cuddly though! I remember, as a child, being given a toy koala. I'd forgotten about that.
I always thought they were bears! and that they were sweet and cuddly...thanks for the info, jmb, have a lovely weekend :)
Yes, I agree, the koala is irrisistebly cuddly.
I love the San Diego Zoo, it's the only one that doesn't make me sad. Koalas are so fun to look at, but I think I will keep hands off for sure! But they do LOOK cuddly.
And what a noise they make as well! The first time I heard a koala I thought I was in the presence of a wild pig!
It was so sad a few weeks ago,Jmb...some brainless, heartless clown/s shot a mother and her baby. The mother survived with the diligent, loving care given by vets at Australia Zoo, but so sadly the little fellow died. It broke my heart. I will never understand such actions by cowards such as those who committed this atrocity.
I held one at a zoo in Australia a number of years ago - he was very well-behaved. However, a friend of ours did the same when he was there and the koala peed on him!
I wonder if their breath smells like a Halls cough drop from eating all those eucalyptus leaves?

Construction on Main Street between Gulf Steam Avenue to Five Points Park, and from Orange Avenue to Goodrich Avenue, is scheduled to begin in July and finish by mid-November
Downtown will soon get a facelift with new landscaping and lights, wider sidewalks and repaved roads.
Construction on Main Street between Gulf Steam Avenue to Five Points Park, and from Orange Avenue to Goodrich Avenue, is scheduled to begin in July and finish by mid-November. The city will also add big trees and all-brick sidewalks along the stretch, and will change parking on one side of the street to parallel spots.
City officials made slight tweaks to a $1.45 million contract with Jon F. Swift, Inc., which will design and engineer the Main Street plan, before signing off on the project Monday.
The Community Redevelopment Agency will fund the project through tax-increment financing, a process that dedicates county and city property tax revenue to certain uses. The 30-year-old agency has covered many projects downtown and is scheduled to sunset in 2016 — though commissioners have talked about extending it.
Late Monday night, Commissioner Terry Turner said he believes the commission needs to let the CRA end. The commissioner, whose term is up in May, said he had to get his concerns on the record.
"We have over-invested in downtown, to good effect. But I think it's time to stop, because there are too many other areas in the city that I think need attention," Turner said.
The Main Street project has been scaled back from what was envisioned years ago. An original rendering of the project included all-brick streets.
Merchants balked at the changes and said they would disturb business. City staff organized the construction so it would be completed primarily in the summer, when there are fewer people in the city.
The city planned to hire a different contractor to complete another chunk of the plan — to bump out the sidewalks near the Gator Club, Pastry Art and C'est la Vie.
Commissioners decided to potentially have Jon F. Swift complete it as well. But the city will see whether Swift can match offers from the other companies before awarding the project, Deputy City Manager Marlon Brown said.
"We're good to go; it fits perfectly in our schedule," Swift responded from the audience.
Next year, the city will focus on changes to First Street, which gets a lot of foot traffic but needs to be more "walkable," City Planner Steve Stancel said. A drawing of planned improvements for the street showed the wider sidewalks, brick crosswalks, ornamental street lights and canopy trees.
Jensen and Group Engineering Consultants LLC will design and engineer the improvements along First Street, between U.S. 41 and Pineapple Avenue. The contract with the group costs $256,040. Commissioners shot down a plan to add a roundabout at Cocoanut Avenue as part of the project and said the money is not there to build it.
"Unless you have a magic pot of dollars I am not aware of," Turner said to staff.

According to James Mirtle, the Winnipeg Jets have invited veteran Finnish/KHL player Janne Pesonen to training camp as a try-out.
The name might seem familiar because Pesonen spent one season with the Pittsburgh Penguins organization. The smallish winger scored an impressive 32 goals and 82 points in just 70 games in the AHL that year but was never able to convince the Penguins he was NHL material. He appeared in just 7 games for the big club that year, scoring zero points.
Since then, Pesonen been skating in the KHL for Kazan Ak-Bar. Last season he managed 14-goals and 28-points in 46 games for the club, good for 7th on the team in scoring.
The move is a zero-risk, moderate reward one for the Jets. Pesonen has scored at high rates in a number of leagues and is an established professional hockey player. If he deson't make the cut, the club hasn't risked anything by inviting him to camp. If he manages to turn some heads, however, then the Jets may have added a useful middle-tier veteran to the team for next to nothing.
