This vendor-written tech primer has been edited by Network World to eliminate product promotion, but readers should note it will likely favor the submitter's approach.
Given the explosive growth in data traffic, Moore's Law is not enough to keep pace with demand for higher network speeds. A smarter silicon and software approach is needed.
Among the best ways to accelerate the performance of mobile and data center networks is to combine general-purpose processors with smart silicon accelerator engines that significantly streamline the way bits are prioritized and moved to optimize network performance and cloud-based services.
THE NEXT BIG THINGS: What are grand technology and scientific challenges for the 21st century?
One of the fundamental challenges facing the industry is the data deluge gap -- the disparity between the 30% to 50% annual growth in network and storage capacity requirements and the 5% to 7% annual increase in IT budgets. The growing adoption of cloud-based services and soaring generation and consumption of data storage are driving exponential growth in the volume of data crossing the network to and from the cloud. With the growth in data traffic far outstripping the infrastructure build-out required to support it, network managers are under pressure to find smarter ways to improve performance.
Cloud data center networks were built with existing technologies and have thus far succeeded in improving performance through brute force -- adding more hardware such as servers, switches, processor cores and memory. This approach, however, is costly and unsustainable, increasing hardware costs along with floor space, cooling and power requirements, and falls well short of solving the problem of network latency.
Adding intelligence in the form of smarter silicon streamlines processing of data packets traversing mobile and data center networks. In particular, smart silicon enables next-generation networks to understand the criticality of data, then manipulate, prioritize and route it in ways that reduce overall traffic and accelerates the delivery of important digital information, such as real-time data for voice and video, on time.
Smarter networks
General-purpose processors, which increasingly feature multiple cores, pervade network infrastructures. These processors drive switches and routers, firewalls and load-balancers, WAN accelerators and VPN gateways. None of these systems is fast enough, however, to keep pace with the data deluge on its own, and for a basic reason: general-purpose processors are designed purely for compute-centric, server-class workloads and are not optimized for handling the unique network-centric workloads in current and next-generation infrastructures.
Smart silicon, however, can accelerate throughput for real-time workloads, such as high-performance packet processing, while ensuring deterministic performance over changing traffic demands.
Smart silicon typically features multiple cores of general-purpose processors complemented by multiple acceleration engines for common networking functions, such as packet classification with deep packet inspection, security processing and traffic management. Some of these acceleration engines are powerful enough to completely offload specialized packet processing tasks from general-purpose processors, making it possible to perform switching, routing and other networking functions entirely in fast path accelerators to vastly improve overall network performance. Offloading compute-intensive workloads to acceleration engines that are optimized for a particular workload can also deliver a significant performance-per-watt advantage over purely general-purpose processors.
Customized smart silicon can be a great option for a network equipment vendor wanting to carve out a unique competitive advantage by integrating its own optimizations. For example, a vendor's proprietary, differentiating intellectual property can be integrated into silicon to provide advantages over general-purpose processors, including for optimized baseband processing, deep packet inspection and traffic management. This level of integration requires close collaboration between network equipment and semiconductor vendors.
Tomorrow's data center network will need to be both faster and flatter, and therefore, smarter than ever. One of the key challenges to overcome in virtualized mega data centers is control plane scalability. To enable cloud-scale data centers, the control plane needs to scale either up or out. In the traditional scale-up approach, additional or more powerful compute engines, acceleration engines or both are deployed to help scale up networking control plane performance.
In emerging scale-out architectures like software-defined networking (SDN), the control plane is separated from the data plane, and then typically executed on standard servers. In both scale-up and scale-out architectures, intelligent multicore communications processors that combine general-purpose processors with specialized hardware acceleration engines can dramatically improve control plane performance. Some functions, such as packet processing and traffic management, often can be offloaded to line cards equipped with these purpose-built communications processors.
While the efficacy of distributing the control and data planes remains an open question, it's clear that SDN will need smart silicon to deliver on its promise of scalable performance.
Smarter storage
Smarter silicon in storage can also help close the data deluge gap. The storage I/O choke point is rooted in the mechanics of traditional hard disk drive (HDD) platters and actuator arms and their speed limits in transferring data from the disk media, as evidenced in the difference of five orders of magnitude in I/O latency between memory (at 100 nanoseconds) and Tier 1 HDDs (at 10 milliseconds).
Another limitation is the amount of memory that can be supported in traditional caching systems (measured in gigabytes), which is a small fraction of the capacity of a single disk drive (measured in terabytes). Both offer little room for performance improvements beyond increasing the gigabytes of Dynamic RAM (DRAM) in caching appliances or adding more of today's fast-spinning HDDs.
Solid state storage in the form of NAND flash memory, on the other hand, is particularly effective in bridging this significant bottleneck, delivering high-speed I/O similar to memory at capacities on a par with HDDs. For its part, smart silicon delivers sophisticated wear-leveling, garbage collection and unique data reduction techniques to improve flash memory endurance and enhanced error correction algorithms for RAID-like data protection. Flash memory helps bridge both the capacity and latency gap between DRAM caching and HDDs.
Solid state memory typically delivers the highest performance gains when the flash cache acceleration card is placed directly in the server on the PCI Express (PCIe) bus. Embedded or host-based intelligent caching software is used to place "hot data" in the flash memory, where data can be accessed in 20 microseconds -- 140 times faster than with a Tier 1 HDD, at 2,800 microseconds. Some of these cards support multiple terabytes of solid state storage, and a new class of solution now also offers both internal flash and Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) interfaces to combine high-performance solid state and RAID HDD storage. A PCIe-based flash acceleration card can improve database application-level performance by five to 10 times in DAS and SAN environments.
Smart silicon is at the heart of all of these solutions. So without the deep inside view of the semiconductor vendors, the system vendors would have no hope of ever closing the data deluge gap.

With the 15% nerf to Dragon Soul slated for Tuesday and Mists of Pandaria's beta test here already, Cataclysm is winding down. Many guilds are on autopilot in Dragon Soul, simply clearing the place each week for another shot at an elusive trinket or item. You can buy the heroic Dragon Soul title or mount on most realms without too much trouble. With a few months of the same eight bosses ahead of us, it's easy to understand why everyone is focused on what's coming next.
I am always looking for ways to optimize my guild's raids. If there's a way that I can shave a few seconds off a boss encounter, I'll take it. There are plenty of areas in Dragon Soul where a clever holy paladin can help move things along. I currently run with a secondary holy talent build that includes Denounce specifically for the purpose of speeding up our runs. If you're still learning Dragon Soul or working on a new heroic encounter, these tips probably won't apply to you.

Lately my Google Alerts have been turning up less relevant results, and I realize that they seem to have stopped search for the phrase I entered and have started just giving results that include each individual word (which is obviously less useful).
When I go to "Manage your alerts", any quotes I put in the search box are removed when it loses focus.
Has anyone else noticed this loss of functionality? Are there better services that might provide what I need?

Eight million people signed an Internet petition demanding an end to nuclear power and hundreds of thousands joined public protests. Yet Japan handed an election landslide to the most pro-atomic option on offer.
Anti-nuclear activists have been left licking their wounds after the first national poll since the tsunami-sparked disaster at Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant saw an apparent melting away of public anger as the country welcomed back the establishment.
"A problem was that political divisions emerged over when and how to stop nuclear power," said Hideyuki Ban, co-director of the Citizens' Nuclear Information Center, an anti-nuclear advocacy group.
"It would have been ideal if the parties had came together under a simple, broad goal of ending nuclear power. But parties had to differentiate themselves from others for the election. Maybe it was inevitable," he said.
The Liberal Democratic Party (LPD) bagged 294 of the 480 seats in the lower house, crushing their opponents, the biggest of which won only 57 seats.
Where smaller parties offered an end to nuclear power — immediately, over 10 years or within three decades — the LDP pledged only to "decide" on reactor restarts within three years.
Commentators say the pro-business party is likely to give the green light to power companies. Markets agree, with shares in Fukushima operator Tokyo Electric Power Co surging about 50 percent in two days after the win.
The problem, said the left-leaning Asahi Shimbun, was that other issues trumped nuclear; voters were frustrated with Japan's economic malaise, huge public debts, fragile employment and diplomatic friction with China.
The public were looking for a way to punish the ruling Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) for its policy failures.
However, as the DPJ teetered on the electoral edge, a barrage of new political parties sprang up.
Analysts say this crowded electoral field confused voters, who in the end opted for familiar names and faces, as represented by the LDP.
Even in nuclear-scarred Fukushima Prefecture, the party won four out of five districts.
In fact, says the Asahi, the anti-nuclear vote was almost completely neutralized because of the fragmentation caused by this mushrooming of parties.
About 78 percent of people who voted said they wanted nuclear power to end now or to be phased out, the Asahi said.
Many of their votes were divided among four parties other than the LDP, according to the Asahi, which added that the LDP also received votes from people who wanted an end to nuclear.
"All major parties, except for the LDP, pledged to end nuclear power with varying degrees of policy emphasis. As a result, the anti-nuclear votes were divided," the newspaper said.
Activists say the speed with which the election rapidly appeared to be a fait accompli caused them problems.
"Voters were bombarded by a series of opinion polls calling the LDP the winner long before the election," said Greenpeace campaigner Kazue Suzuki, adding that a record low voter turnout of 59.32 percent did not help their cause.
Japanese politics specialist Koichi Nakano of Sophia University said single issue candidates would always find it difficult to get to parliament.
The political culture tends to favor candidates from established parties with organized supporters, while independents face a tough time, he said.

Behold: Jaguar has done the decent thing and finally treated its flagship saloon to the 'R' treatment. Meet the brand new Jaguar XJR, unveiled at the New York Motor Show.
Those of a certain vintage will feel the familiar, welcome warmth of shagpile rising from within, but quell that nostalgia; this is definitely a new-age XJR, featuring a new-age philosophy and a not inconsiderable dose of the thing we adore most here at Top Gear. Power.
It gets the 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine currently doing excellent service in the XKR-S, producing 542bhp and 501lb ft of torque. It's an all-aluminium quad-cam unit, with spray-guided direct injection and dual independent variable cam timing. Oh, and let's not forget the twin-vortex Roots-type supercharger with two intercoolers. But, for the XJR, Jaguar has compromised between the outright noise and venom offered by the unit, and the ultra-luxury necessary for an XJ. But it's still quite loud, probably.
It's mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox, developed following much investigation of the same unit in the XFR-S saloon, with steering-wheel-mounted gearshift paddles and a 'corner recognition' system that knows when you're 'negotiating' a bend (it'll hold the correct gear for a speedy exit). Cripes.
Naturally, power is sent to the rear wheels, and as such, you're looking at a 0-60mph time of 4.4 seconds (4.6s to 62mph) and an electronically limited top speed of 174mph. Such haste is emboldened by a suspension setup honed at Jaguar's Nürburgring-based test centre - where TopGear.com was treated to a special hotride in Jaguar's XJ 'Ring taxi - as well as Rockingham and Gaydon.
Basically, you get continuously variable dampers underneath, using systems that monitor driver inputs and road conditions to offer the best setup - it responds up to 500 times per second for greater agility. Select Dynamic Mode, and everything gets stiffer. There's an electronic diff with DSC that allows you to engage "the outer edges of the handling envelope". That's basically the moment just before you exit stage left (albeit in great comfort).
The XJR's huge brakes should see you out of trouble (380mm discs up front and 376mm discs at the back - both ventilated) and they're nestled behind lightweight 20in alloy wheels, with specially developed Pirelli tyres (hopefully better than the F1 tyre TopGear.com made). Oh, and the steering gets special valving used on the F-Type.
The standard XJ has been subtly tweaked on the outside to show off some of this sporting menace, as you can see in the pictures above; there are 'R'-spec side sills, a bootlid-mounted lip spoiler and special 'R' bonnet louvres that aid engine cooling and aero. Some black mesh is apparent, too.
There's a 380W, 12-speaker surround sound system made by Meridian (an even louder 825W system with 18 speakers is available, if you require more bass bludgeoning), along with suede cloth headlining, some leather and lots of colour combinations.
Says Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar brand director: "The new XJR epitomises the three pillars of technology, performance and seductive design, while delivering new levels of dynamic ability in a luxury saloon."
Agree? Have a peek through the pictures and then let us know below what you make of the brand new XJR.

Casket Factory opens after 50 years for Halloween party
Fundraiser in Jacksonville building believed to be haunted
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – On Saturday October 26, 2013, the Jacksonville Historical Society will stage what it hopes will be the greatest Halloween party in Jacksonville's history. It will take place at the Casket Factory, a mysterious old brick building on the edge of downtown. It is 15,000 square feet, partially covered with vines, and thought by many to be haunted.
Dr. Wayne Wood with the Jacksonville History society explains, "The Jacksonville Historical Society owns four historic buildings: an old church, a house museum, old St. Luke's Hosiptal and next door to this hospital is a casket factory, it's kind of ironic. And this casket factory has been closed for many many years since it was a casket factory in fact the third floor of the building where the main part of the party is going to be held has not been used probably for over 50 years. And so we're going to inaugurate it and see if the spooks are haunting the third floor.
Dr. Wood says the Jacksonville Historical society is constantly having to maintain these buildings, so this event is a fund-raiser to support the restoration and maintenance of Old St. Luke's Hospital, a National Register landmark constructed in 1878 and owned by the Jacksonville Historical Society. Old St. Luke's and the Casket Factory are located at 314 Palmetto Street, adjacent to the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena.
"Several of the buildings are over 100 years old and they require maintenance so
The party will include live bands, outstanding food, libations, dancing, a costume contest, performers, and a frightful Labyrinth of Terror. At midnight, the winner of the Totally Amazing Costume Contest will be announced, with prizes valued at $1,000.
Orgainzer Abigail Wright says partygoers can expect a great time on all levels of the building
"On the second floor is the hall of terror,' Wright says. "So there's lots of things that may or may not pop out at you."
Here are the event details:
Date & Time: Saturday October 26, 2013 – 8pm to 1am.
Everyone must have a costume to enter
The old Casket Factory: located at 314 Palmetto Street, adjacent to Old St. Luke's Hospital and the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena.
The party will include four areas:

* Casket Factory 2nd floor – The Labyrinth of Terror, The Night Gallery, lounges
* Lawn – large circus tent, with bar, food, and performers
* Old St. Luke's Hospital - tour this 1878 Historic Landmark
Attendance: Open to the public; limited to 400 people; must be 21 or older, with proper I.
Price: $48.50 per person in advance; price includes two drink tickets; tickets will cost $60 the day of the event.
Entertainment: Bands and a variety of performers, including Mam Blue, Folk Is People, and The Molotov Cocktail Party.
Beer & Wine: Adult libations
Food: Gourmet bites from 12 fine local restaurants.

Canisius guard Billy Baron received yet another national award on Monday as he was named to the Mid-Major Madness All-America First Team. Baron is one of two players from the MAAC to be honored by Mid-Major Madness this year and he's one of three players from a school in Western New York to be recognized following the 2013-14 season.
Baron, the 2014 Pepsi MAAC Player of the Year and a two-time All-MAAC First Team selection, became just the fourth player in school history to earn Associated Press All-America honors when that honor was released last week. Baron averaged 24.1 points, 5.3 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game in his senior season while helping the Golden Griffins to a 21-13 overall record and a 14-6 mark in MAAC play. The 6-foot-2 guard from East Greenwich, R.I., scored in double figures 33 times this season, he had 20-plus points in a game 26 times and he scored 30 or more points nine times for the Golden Griffins. He set the school's record for 3-point field goals in a single season with 107 makes from behind the arc, and last week he became the first player in program history to appear in the State Farm Slam Dunk and 3-Point Championship, which was held in Dallas prior to the start of the NCAA Final Four. He is just the fourth player in school history to have more than 1,400 points and 350 career assists as a Griff and his team-high 180 total assists in 2013-14 make him just the third player in school history to dish out 150-plus assists in back-to-back seasons.
Joining Baron on the Mid-Major Madness All-America First Team are Fred Van Vleet and Cleanthony Early from Wichita State, Jerrelle Benimon from Towson and UC Sanata Barbara's Alan Williams. Buffalo's Javon McCrea was named to the Mid-Major All-America Second Team and Niagara guard Antoine Mason earned honorable mention honors.

The HUBZone Program Report
Public Law 108-447 directed the Office of Advocacy to conduct a study measuring the effectiveness of the definitions under Section 3(p)(4) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632(p)(4) for the purposes of economic impact on small business development and job creation. This section of the law is commonly referred to as the HUBZone program. This study examines the impact of the definitional changes to the HUBZone program.
In 1997, Congress passed the Small Business Administration Reauthorization Act (Public Law 105-135), which included provisions designed to promote economic development and employment opportunities in metropolitan or rural areas with low income, high poverty rates, and/or high unemployment rates. Title VI of the Act established the Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) program to target federal contracts to small businesses that are located in these areas. In 2004 and 2005, Congress designated two additional classes of HUBZones: Indian lands and military bases closed under the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Act. As a result of these changes there are now five classes of HUBZones:
1. Qualified census tracts (QCTs),
2. Qualified counties,
3. Indian reservations,
4. Difficult development areas (DDAs), and
5. Military bases closed under BRAC.
The HUBZone program has three mechanisms for targeting contracts to HUBZone businesses: setasides, sole source awards and price preferences. In the eight-year period from FY2000 through FY2007, there have been about 21,350 contracts totaling $6.28 billion awarded through the three HUBZone mechanisms.
Overall Findings
In general, the program has grown steadily in terms of total contract dollars, from $44 million in FY 2000 to $1.76 billion in FY 2007. FY 2004 was the only year in which there was a decline in the total amount awarded to HUBZone businesses. HUBZone contract dollars in FY 2007 were 2.75 times the FY 2003 level. Growth from FY 2006 to FY 2007 was 26 percent.
The number of HUBZone businesses and HUBZone vendors increases with the population and area of the HUBZone.
The program has not generated enough HUBZone contract dollars to have an impact on a national scale. When spread over an eight-year period across 2,450 metropolitan areas and counties with qualified census tracts, qualified counties, and Indian reservations, $6 billion has a limited impact.
HUBZone set-asides are the most frequently used tool to award HUBZone contracts. HUBZone sole source and price preferences were least often used by contracting officers.
Scope and Methodology
Data for this study were drawn from three databases. Two of these provide information on all HUBZone businesses, namely the database of applications for HUBZone certification and the the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) data on small businesses. The third source, the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS), provides information on HUBZone businesses that have won HUBZone contracts.
In analyzing HUBZones, it is useful to think of them in relation to counties. From this perspective, there are three general types of HUBZones:
Sub-county areas. These include all qualified census tracts, small Indian reservations, and BRAC bases.
Counties. These include qualified counties, large Indian reservations, and DDAs.
Larger areas that are collections of HUBZones. These include metropolitan areas which have only QCTs, and states that are almost entirely HUBZones (principally DDAs and Oklahoma).
There are fundamental differences in the way indirect impacts on earnings and employment are treated in these different types of HUBZone areas.
The report generally follows this structure. Chapter 2 provides a general overview of the population of HUBZone businesses and Federal HUBZone procurement. Chapters 3-9 assess the distribution of HUBZone businesses and revenues and the resulting impacts. Each chapter deals with an individual class of HUBZones. Chapters 10 and 11 deal with topics common to all HUBZones: the industry and size distribution of HUBZone businesses, and the timing of certification of new HUBZone businesses. Chapter 12 summarizes conclusions of the study. The report also contains eight appendixes on data and methodology.
This report was peer-reviewed consistent with Advocacy's data quality guidelines. More information on this process can be obtained by contacting the director of economic research at advocacy (202) 205-6533.

April Fools Day's Finest
Trick or... trick
April fool We hate April Fools Day. It makes story writing here at Vulture Central extra difficult, sifting through the endless fictional nonsense trying to find something interesting - and true.
However, sometimes the gags can be quite amusing. Here are a few I've stumbled across on my story surfs today.
Facebook Status Display T-Shirt
Don't tell me this is real. I'm sure it's possible, but would anyone actually be that much of a loser that they'd walk around with their FaceCrack status on their chest? Perhaps if you're really desperate for a thumbs up, then suits you, sir.
Playmobil Apple Store Playset
OK, now this one is awesome. The Playmobil Apple store from Think Geek, complete with staff, miniature MacBooks and even a man on a Segway, part of the queue accessory pack. It also advertises that you can use your own iPhone 4 as the presentation screen behind the Steve Jobs Playmobil figure. Jokes.
Masturbation calms restless leg syndrome
That's what New Scientist said this morning. I guess it could be true, but how would we know? After all, our office is full of leg restlessness and we're all complete stunners that limit our one-handed activities to mouse movements and dumbbells to keep the perfect physique intact. I'm fooling, of course. I'm the only one with a perfect physique here.
Sunglasses that block out advertising
I would certainly invest in a pair of these bad boys if they existed. No advertisements anywhere is the claim. Billboards would be blurry and they'd be a lot of blank pages in the middle of the newspaper. Brilliant.
Virgin purchases Pluto and reinstates its planetary status
Er, no. Richard Branson has not bought Pluto. Although it's only a matter of time, right?
World of Warcraft Dungeon Helper tool
Even WoW has been at it today, putting up a dungeon helper tool reminiscent of the talking paperclip we all know from Office Docs. Except this is a crustacean called Crabby. Smells fishy to me.
Firebox has gone flipping mental
Firebox has lost the plot as usual for April Fools Day, but it's enjoyable none the less. Bacon inhaler? Yum, where do I sign up? Cardboard bicycle? Don't think so, but at least it's thinking outside the box.
And finally, the worst attempt at an April Fools Day award goes to…
MCV takes the booby prize for its abysmal attempt to delude readers into thinking clear cellophane packaging could be wrapped over your iPad to offer glasses-free 3D viewing. It was put up yesterday, for starters. Poor attempt, guys. Step it up next year.
That's it, I'm going to put some cling film over the toilet. Yes it may be bad luck at this time of the day, but it will be bad luck for whoever uses the loo next too. I'd get a video for you all, but I don't want to face any Chuck Berry-style consequences for my actions.
If there's any funny April Fools Day nonsense you've come across too today, feel free to share them in the comments below. ®

Forrest Gump.
That's whose life I feel like I've lived over the past six years at CNBC.
I played basketball against Dwyane Wade (I promised him I would tell you I didn't score a point). I've crashed into the wall at the Charlotte Motor Speedway with Kurt Busch at the wheel. I've taken an Andy Roddick full speed serve to the chest.
I lived in Beijing during the Olympics. I've reported on Nike factory workers in Vietnam. I covered a Presidential Election from a bowling alley in Pennsylvania and played cornhole with a Coors Light girl before the NFL season opener in Indianapolis.

text: This story in today's New York Times discusses how universities seek to protect students without turning campuses into fortresses. It talks about some universities' installation of phone/email/text alert systems. Many of these are likely tied into mass notification systems as well, something we've done a lot of reporting on. The story also talks about how some university presidents review on a daily basis all campus incidents looking for clues that might signal that a student is troubled. University officials are clearly working diligently to address violence on campus and the fire and security industry has stepped up to help. On the front page of the Times today, another story detailed the profoundly sad deaths this week of five students and a student gunman at Northern Illinois University. The story reported that the student gunman was well liked, a good student, and that there were no obvious "red flags.†The story also contained this paragraph: "The gunman bought his weapons legally from a Champaign gun dealer, officials said. He also bought some accessories from the popular Internet dealer who sold a gun to the gunman in the Virginia Tech massacre last year.†Isn't there a way to make the purchase of a handgun a red flag?

Ways to Listen to NPR
NPR makes it easier than ever to stay informed. From in-depth news coverage to breaking news to local station programming, you can enjoy NPR and our stations – for free! You're on the go. And NPR can go with you. Whatever your device or location, an NPR experience is ready for you.
Ways to Listen to NPR
AM and FM Radio: Network of Member Stations
NPR Member Stations are independent, locally owned and operated broadcasters. In an era of media consolidation and corporate ownership, these local stations are becoming an increasingly rare and even more vital source of local news and information for the communities they serve. About 95 percent of the American public live within the range of an NPR Member Station. Find one near you or where you'll be traveling.
NPR One: Public Radio Made Personal
NPR One is our new digital listening app that blends NPR and Member Station news reporting into a rich, localized, on-demand experience. On iPhone or Android, listen to the latest local, national and world news in a curated stream customized for you. As you listen, you can mark individual stories as "interesting" so the app can better tailor the content just for you. NPR One blends NPR's editorial judgment with your personal tastes and creates moments of discovery.
Each month, millions of people download their favorite NPR programs for convenient listening without an internet connection. NPR podcasts on-air favorites like Fresh Air and Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! as well as digital-only programs like All Songs Considered and Pop Culture Happy Hour. You can find NPR podcasts and podcasts from NPR Member Stations in the iTunes Store, in many mobile listening apps, and in the NPR Podcast Directory.
Mobile Apps: Pocket Sized Public Radio
Each NPR mobile app takes the quintessential NPR experience you've come to expect on the radio and added even more convenience. The NPR News Apps for iPhone and Android allowing you to both listen and read the latest news and stories from the range of NPR programming while on the go. The NPR News App is equipped with a customizable playlist, which allows selecting, organizing and time-shifting NPR programs or stories. The NPR iPad App will let you experience NPR content organized by News, Arts & Life and Music, with audio and visual content that's broad, deep and timely. Engage, explore and discover new music of all genres with the NPR Music Apps for iPhone and iPad. Listen to NPR in your car like never before with the NPR News App for Ford SYNC.
iTunes Radio
NPR has become the first news provider on iTunes Radio. Our 24-hour stream includes national newscasts, stories from Morning Edition and All Things Considered, and other news and cultural programming. And what you hear now is just the start of what's to come. In the future, digital streams from NPR Member Stations across the country will begin appearing on iTunes Radio.
SiriusXM Satellite Radio
NPR and public radio programming can be found on SiriusXM Satellite Radio channel 122, NPR Now.

Don't Tell Me! from NPR and other public radio favorites like Marketplace from American Public Media. Programming on NPR Now includes programs from public radio stations and independent producers.
HD Radio
HD Radio allows stations to broadcast multiple program streams by using a digital signal embedded within their analog AM/FM signals. Imagine, your favorite NPR station providing continuous news on one channel and your favorite music on another, that's the way HD1 and HD2, HD3, and even HD4 work. The technology also provides display information such as song and artist information, as well as weather and traffic alerts. And best of all, HD reception, just like traditional radio, is free. All you need is an HD Radio tuned to a public radio station with an HD Radio signal. (HD Radio is a trademark of iBiquity Digital Corporation.)

The defining moment of the recently ended third season of "Downton Abbey" came with the avoidable post-childbirth death of Lady Sybil, perhaps the only character liked by everybody at Grantham, both upstairs and downstairs.
Her senseless demise proved all the more agonizing to watch as it morphed into a flesh-and-blood microcosm of the forces threatening to tear apart Downton Abbey in the early 1920s. Her father's stubborn refusal to act, his status-based blind faith in a clearly disengaged doctor with a royal title and his foolish rebuff of modern medicine, sealed her fate.
There's much we can take from the lowest moment of well meaning, but for shortsighted Robert Crawley, the Lord of Grantham: Money – and social standing – can't buy competence, forget about happiness. If you're lucky enough to have a family physician who makes house calls, trust him or her. Better yet, in times of crisis, trust your gut. Action is better than inaction. Sometimes the new is better than the old.
U.S. & World
Those were among the hardest-earned lessons in a heartache-and-tragedy-filled stretch that began with a wedding and (spoiler alert! Stop here and watch Sunday's season finale before reading on) ended with more (apparent) death.
Hester is founding director of the award-winning, multi-media NYCity News Service at the City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism. He is the former City Editor of the New York Daily News, where he started as a reporter in 1992. Follow him on Twitter.

Designed by Robert Stephenson and built between 1847 and 1849, it is the first major example of a wrought iron tied arch or bow-string girder bridge. It is a fine and long standing engineering solution to a difficult problem; the spanning of 1337 feet of river valley, including 512 feet across water. The High Level Bridge has six river spans of 125 feet (38 m) length, sitting on masonry piers, 46 by 16 feet in section and up to 131 feet (40 m) height. There are also four land spans on each side, of 36 feet 3 inches. The single carriageway road and pedestrian walkways occupy the lower deck of the spans, 85 feet above the high water mark, and the railway the upper deck 112 above the high water mark. The total weight of the structure is 5,000 tons.
The bridge was closed to road traffic in February 2005 to allow essential maintenance to ensure the bridge's long-term future, including replacement of wooden supports beneath the road deck. It was expected to reopen in late-2005, however, the reopening has now slipped as severe cracks were found in some of the bridge's iron girders. Having assessed the bridge, engineers have decided a crash barrier on each side of the roadway is necessary, meaning that there will be space for only one lane of traffic when the bridge reopens.
The restoration covers finally came down in February 2008 and I took the chance to get a few photos. Although it still remains unopen to traffic for now.

What better way to respond when Ford, your main truck competition, tows your truck and two others up a hill? Chevrolet decided to tow the trucks AND the hill in a back and forth advertising competition that must be seen.
This week's Classic Ad Watch is actually two advertisements. Back in the 80s truck advertising still involved unnecessary off road abuse and One-upmanship reigned supreme. When your competitor did something, you did it better, and then they tried to do it better than you. In the first half of our classic ad watch we see Ford tow not one, but three trucks up a hill. This feat cannot compare to Ford's advertising of the previous year, which depicted the truck towing only two trucks up the hill in a now unimpressive display.
Not to be outdone, Chevrolet does the only thing they can, try and beat Ford latest accomplishment. Their answer in ad form is bold. According to Chevy, not only can the redesigned Chevy tow trucks up a mountain, it can then tow away the mountain. In an advertisement that can only be described as awesome, crowds cheer the pickup truck that can "tow away the entire mountain". The Ford vs. Chevy argument has been going on almost as long as the two brands have existed. Although we are mostly unbiased, it seems clear when awarding the crown for ridiculous late 80s truck advertisement, this round goes to the "Heartbeat of America".

Perhaps This Blogday Doesn't Count
A whole year and a few days have passed since my last post, celebrating Issuefish's second birthday. A whammo! combination of a new baby boy at home and my being loaned out at work to a project team that was in big schedule trouble left me without time for anything as frivolous as political blogging.
The good news is that something like sanity has returned on the work front, freeing up time for me to do some blogging again. (Sanity on the home front ain't ever going to return, but it's the good kind of insanity!)
The neutral news is that I have decided to consign Issuefish to laursen.org's archives, and start up a new general-topic blog. Maybe because I'm a new dad, there are more non-political topics I want to cover. Even the political topics I want to write about center around the theme that politics is unhealthfully crowding out civil aspects of our society that have traditionally been free of politics.
The switch to a general-topic blog is also helped along by Blogger's having added the ability to assign posts to categories. The new blog will have a "Politics" category with, hopefully, plenty of entries.

ASVABer is the Ultimate ASVAB Practice Solution
No other ASVAB preparation system even comes close
** Plus, incredible bonus materials as a free gift **
Described below, keep reading
I failed the ASVAB twice and then found this program. I followed the simple plan in the guide book and scored a 63 on my third try. After lots of online practice and learning how to eliminate wrong answers, I was finally comfortable with the time limits and that made a huge difference for me.
Why buy this when other free stuff is available?
- Why waste your time searching for free sample questions and study materials when you could be making real progress towards your goal?
- 26.4 seconds. That is how long you have to answer each question on General Science and Auto/Shop subtests. That is real pressure. You need to be practicing under the same pressure to build confidence. You will not get that taking free exams.
- Our practice exams are different every time you take them. We have over 2000 questions covering all 9 subjects. The tests take a random selection of questions and the answers are shuffled.
I felt OK about the Math but was kind of scared about the General Science and Mechanical Comprehension. The study guides and online practice really made a huge difference in my confidence.

'Venus and Serena': A sister act that's tough to topple (review)
Countless words have been written about Venus and Serena Williams in the 14 years since the sisters exploded onto the international tennis scene.
But no article or author has adequately explained the most remarkable story in professional sports: How two sisters from crime-ridden Compton, Calif., schooled by parents with no formal tennis training, became No. 1 in the world and transformed the women's game in the process.
Granted access to the Williams family through the 2011 season, filmmakers Maiken Baird and Michelle Major come closer than anyone to date in their documentary "Venus and Serena."
Weaving a wealth of archival footage with surprisingly candid interviews with the sisters, now 32 (Venus) and 31 (Serena), and their parents, Richard Williams and Oracene Price, the documentary lifts a veil on the tight-knit Williams clan and largely allows the sisters to tell the story themselves.
It was their father's dream to produce the best women's tennis players the world had seen, and he wrote a 78-page plan for doing so before Venus was even born.
"My parents told me I'd be number one," Venus says with a broad smile. "I was brainwashed."
Throughout the film, such personalities as former President Bill Clinton, comedian Chris Rock and Vogue editor Anna Wintour offer commentary on the sisters' impact. But it's the hard work the sisters put in that sheds the most telling light on how they made muscularity and fierce competitiveness qualities to be celebrated in women and how they've maintained their dominance in a sport littered with victims of emotional and physical burnout.
In setting out to make "Venus and Serena," the filmmakers had no idea the 2011 season would be fraught with so many setbacks. Venus is forced out of that season's first major tournament, the Australian Open, by an abdominal injury and withdraws from the U.S. Open because of an autoimmune disorder known as Sjogren's syndrome. Yet she talks about loving tennis so much that she wants to compete until at least 40.
And Serena, only recently recovered from foot surgery, is rushed to the hospital with a pulmonary embolism. We see Serena with a drainage tube in her stomach, giving herself injections and fighting her way back to form as she hits tennis balls from a wheelchair and, in a later scene, berates her hitting partner for not pushing her harder.
Venus is revealed as Serena's lifelong protector and biggest champion, as well as the sister who shoulders the tougher psychological burden when the two compete against each other. Serena revels in the role of spoiled baby among five girls, always coveting what Venus has.
"What didn't I do to copy Venus?" Serena says. "I was never the one that was supposed to be good, but I was determined not to be a statistic."
The documentary also reveals the sisters' almost symbiotic closeness. They live together most of the year, cook together, do karaoke together and joke about how difficult it would be if one chose to get married.
We know the ending at the outset: Venus and Serena become No. 1 in the world. The real story is their remarkable journey, which the film documents powerfully from the beginning. A battered Volkswagen van pulls up to a pitiful excuse for a tennis court in Compton. Richard Williams wheels out a shopping cart of used tennis balls. And his 9- and 10-year-old girls, braids in their hair, proceed to blast ball after ball as cars zoom past, indifferent to the champions in the making.

Romney comments at fundraiser outrage Palestinians
Published: 30th July 2012 06:32 PM | Last Updated: 30th July 2012 06:32 PM | A+A A-
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney told Jewish donors Monday that their culture is part of what has allowed them to be more economically successful than the Palestinians, outraging Palestinian leaders who called his comments racist and out of touch.
"As you come here and you see the GDP per capita, for instance, in Israel which is about $21,000 dollars, and compare that with the GDP per capita just across the areas managed by the Palestinian Authority, which is more like $10,000 per capita, you notice such a dramatically stark difference in economic vitality," the Republican presidential candidate told about 40 wealthy donors who breakfasted at the luxurious King David Hotel.
The reaction of Palestinian leaders was swift and pointed, as Romney continued to make missteps with his hosts on a three-country trip designed to bolster his foreign policy credentials while challenging President Barack Obama for the November election. The Israel visit was designed to appeal to the Jewish vote in a tight race.
"It is a racist statement and this man doesn't realize that the Palestinian economy cannot reach its potential because there is an Israeli occupation," said Saeb Erekat, a senior aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
"It seems to me this man (Romney) lacks information, knowledge, vision and understanding of this region and its people," Erekat added. "He also lacks knowledge about the Israelis themselves. I have not heard any Israeli official speak about cultural superiority."
The economic disparity between the Israelis and the Palestinians is actually much greater than Romney stated. Israel had a per capita gross domestic product of about $31,000 in 2011, while the West Bank and Gaza had a per capita GDP of just over $1,500, according to the World Bank.
Romney, seated next to billionaire casino owner Sheldon Adelson, told donors that he had read books and relied on his business experience to understand why the difference is so great.
"And as I come here and I look out over this city and consider the accomplishments of the people of this nation, I recognize the power of at least culture and a few other things," Romney said, citing an innovative business climate, the Jewish history of thriving in difficult circumstances and the "hand of providence."
Romney made no mention of the fact that Israel has controlled the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem since capturing them in the 1967 war. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, but continues to control access, and has enforced a crippling border blockade since the Islamic militant Hamas seized the territory in 2007.
In the West Bank, Israel retains overall control, and Palestinians only have limited self-rule. Israel controls all border crossings in and out of the West Bank, and continues to restrict Palestinian trade and movement.
The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have said repeatedly that the Palestinian economy can only grow if Israel lifts those restrictions.
"It's Israeli occupiers and Palestinians under occupation, and that's why Palestinians cannot realize their potential," Erekat said.
The breakfast with top donors concluded the second leg of Romney's three-nation overseas tour. Poland was next Monday. Romney started last week in Britain, where he attended the opening of the London Olympics after drawing criticism, including from Prime Minister David Cameron, for calling some of the city's late-breaking preparation issues "disconcerting."
Romney and other Republicans have said Obama is insufficiently supportive of Israel, but Obama still leads among Jewish voters. A Gallup survey of Jewish voters released Friday showed Obama with a 68-25 edge over Romney.
Standing on Israeli soil for the first time as the Republican Party's presumptive presidential nominee, Romney on Sunday declared Jerusalem to be the capital of the Jewish state and said the United States has promised never to "look away from our passion and commitment to Israel."
The status of Jerusalem is a critical issue in peace talks between the Israelis and the Palestinians.
Romney's declaration that Jerusalem is Israel's capital was keeping with claims made by Israeli governments for decades, even though the United States, like other nations, maintains its embassy in Tel Aviv.
During his visit to Israel, Romney did not meet with Abbas or visit the West Bank. He held a brief meeting with Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.
He also met with President Benjamin Netanyahu and other leaders and visited the Western Wall, Judaism's holiest site, where he was mobbed by worshippers.
In his remarks, Romney steered clear of overt criticism of Obama, even though he said the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran "has only become worse" in the past five years.
The Jerusalem fundraiser raised more than $1 million for Romney's campaign. A fundraiser in London attracted about 250 people to a $2,500 per person event.
Both presidential candidates have aggressively courted American donors living abroad, a practice that is legal and has been used for decades.
Adelson, the American businessman who has promised to donate more than $100 million to help defeat Obama, was among a several donors who flew to Israel for a day of sightseeing with Romney in addition to private meetings with top Israeli officials.

By Mike Hugman, Portfolio manager
Mike Hugman, Emerging Markets Fixed Income Portfolio Manager, argues that this round of actions is now largely announced and reflected in markets and will create opportunities to add risk to portfolios via EM currencies and equities in coming weeks.
Opportunities amid volatility
In recent weeks, the US administration has acted on 2016 election promises to put America first in global trade policy. This has taken two forms – global metals tariffs, and China-specific tariffs relating to technology intellectual property theft. Our baseline is that this will not start a reciprocal trade war, and hence have limited medium-term impact on global growth and markets. A further sell off in risk assets may provide opportunities for investors to add risk. Our asset allocation preferences are emerging market currencies and equities.
Metals tariffs not a major medium-term risk
Global metals tariffs were enacted under section 232 of the 1962 US Trade Expansion Act, citing the need to protect domestic steel production to ensure long-term self-sufficiency and hence national security. The US imported around 36 million tonnes of steel last year, and 6 million tonnes of aluminium, worth around US$40bn. Tariffs proposed were 25% and 10% respectively, representing a small fraction of the value of global trade in those metals. Additionally, the US has granted short-term exemptions to Canada, Mexico, the EU, Australia, South Korea, Argentina and Brazil, which account for about 75-80% of those imports. We expect deals to be reached exempting many kinds of specialist steels, as US industry ex-steel is lobbying hard against these measures. Thus this set of tariffs are not a major medium-term risk.
The case of China
US Trade Representative Lighthizer has been investigating Chinese extraction of US intellectual property under section 301 of the 1977 US Trade Act. Independent estimates have put the long-term cost to the US economy in the range of US$200-400bn. Yesterday, President Trump announced tariffs averaging 25% on a list of goods worth up to $50bn in exports to the US. The final list of goods is yet to be announced, but will come within 15 days, with a 30-day consultation period. The net amount, US$12.5bn, would take around 0.1% off Chinese GDP.
China has responded with mixed rhetoric. A conciliatory speech earlier in the week from Premier Li acknowledging the need to reduce the barriers to foreign investment in China and to end technology transfer demands, reassured markets. This morning, China has announced tariffs of 10-25% on US$3bn worth of US agricultural imports in response to the original section 232 metals tariffs. The announcement carried a stronger tone, warning the US against further actions.
Our base case: largely in the price
The current level of US tariffs, and the response from China, have both been smaller than we expected, given prior analysis. We do not see this as an incentive for China to escalate this trade conflict given the success of ongoing domestic economic reforms, while the US administration has achieved its PR goals. Our base case is therefore that this round of actions is now largely announced and reflected in markets.
In anticipation of this risk weighing on markets in the short term, earlier in the quarter we reduced emerging market currency exposure in our emerging market debt strategies, and equity risk in the emerging market multi asset strategy. However, in our base case of these trade actions remaining contained as outlined above, this will likely create opportunities to add risk to portfolios in those areas in coming weeks.

Military Spouse Motto: "I'll see you when I see you!"
There are many things to get used to when you are introduced to the military. There is the "hurry up and wait," the "probably won't call you for a week," the "it's out of my control," and my favorite—"you will see me when you see me." Let it be known that my husband and I appreciate food on our table. Matt is honored to be a part of the Coast Guard and I am right there with him. However, I would be lying if I said everything ran smoothly all the time. In fact, just writing that statement made my nose grow.
Us support spouses learn from the beginning that we need to remain calm and flexible when making schedules for the family, fun, and travel. I had a very hard time learning this concept. Matt would tell me that he would be home one day and by the next day, he would find out he wouldn't be coming back for another two days. Or the ship was due to pull in at 10 am and then didn't show up until 6 pm. Or we're set to go on week-long vacation and he is kept back two days for inspections so our little trip is delayed. I have been told before that he will be home a week early just to see him a week after his arrival date. So, I decided to stop asking.
Matt thinks it is a control thing with me. But, I am willing to bet that other spouses would like a definite answer on when their husbands or wives are coming home. It is about planning and the excitement of seeing one another again. We get our hopes up at the prospect of meeting them at the dock and our first embrace since they left the house. From the moment our spouses leave, we are counting the seconds until they are home. It would just be nice to know when they are actually coming home.
So, after many disappointments, I learned that I will see my spouse when I see him. My advice is to stop looking at the clock. Try to keep busy. If you are anxious and bored, that is your issue, not your spouse's. Too many times I see people get angry with their spouse about scheduling and arrivals. It isn't worth it to be mad at someone who has no control over the situation either. We confuse excitement with anger and then the arrival is ruined. Learn to accept the choice we made to marry into the military and know that this is how it is. It's our way of life and we're stronger because of it.

This rang so true for me. I adopted this attitude and then was caught when my husband told me that he might be home early and then actually showed up early!

David Hasselhoff's world was spinning but not from the drink.
A lawyer and rep for the "America's Got Talent" judge, who has a history of alcohol abuse, has shot down reports that Hasselhoff was so drunk Sunday he had to be transported to a hospital.
Instead, paramedics rushed to the Hoff's home because he felt dizzy from the side effects his medicine was giving him, E! News reported.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
"He is totally normal," lawyer Mel Goldsman told the network. "He was released almost immediately after he arrived at the hospital."
Hasselhoff's rep said the actor and musician's anti-nausea drug, Antivert, had apparently interacted strangely with the medicine that he uses to fight alcoholism. That drug, Antabuse, makes the user especially sensitive to alcohol.
"I'm not sure if it was the combination," Goldsman said, "but I do know it was related to one of the drugs he was taking."
