The inexorable march of technology has the computing and software community focusing on a large-scale integration challenge by exploiting cloud computing, machine-to-machine (M2M) applications, and Big Data solutions. The convergence of M2M, Big Data, and the cloud will provide key capabilities for building next-generation systems and expanding the Internet of Things. This Internet of Things (IoT) will sustain communication and data sharing for billions of connected devices and systems. The number of connections and endpoints is so large it requires IPv6 addresses because the IPv4 addressing scheme cannot accommodate the volume of sensors, smart phones, smart factories, smart grids, smart vehicles, controllers, meters, and other devices that will be transmitting data over the Internet.
The sheer volume of data from human users and M2M applications will require advanced analytics capable of exploiting the Big Data and the computing power of the cloud. There are ambitious projects being done in the IoT/M2M realm, including a pipeline of R&D projects from Planetary Skin, a planetary-monitoring effort that can provide global data collection using space-based and earth-based sensor networks. It's no surprise the convergence of IoT, Big Data analytics, federated databases, and other technologies is now being called the Internet of Everything (IoE).
Today's Internet of Things phenomenon is a reminder of the XML and Web services explosion, with partnerships and consortia pushing to develop specifications and submit them to standards organizations. If you write software that follows the specification for a standard, such as a communication protocol, you increase the chances it will be interoperable, won't create data silos, and will be accepted by the marketplace. Among the consortia working on standards for IoT are AllSeen Alliance, HyperCat Consortium, and Industrial Internet Consortium. There are also initiatives such as the Eclipse M2M Industry Working Group and ITU-T Focus Group M2M initiative. And of course technology companies such as Apple, Cisco, Google, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, and Oracle are competing in the IoT game. The hope is that all of these efforts will deliver something like a universal plug-and-play solution, with a common service capability layer, that will simplify programming and enable devices to "learn" how to seamlessly connect to other devices and machines. Everyone would also like to see trusted mobility computing with managed, secure application programming interfaces (APIs), and a standard framework for mobile device security.
The Integration Challenge
Building the IoT will be an exercise in integrating disparate devices and carrier networks, multiple communication protocols, and a wide variety of applications. It will often require integrating legacy networks and applications. The new M2M applications are and will continue to be complex, using geographically dispersed devices and services, a mix of connectivity, and logic in the data center and edge devices.
How to handle that diversity is one of today's major challenges. Current practices are similar to the early years of software development when everything was done as an ad hoc application before the value of data sharing was widely accepted. Large-scale IoT projects, such as building a smart city, will not be successful using the fragmented, domain-specific approach of M2M solutions designed for specific M2M applications. Successful large-scale IoT/Big Data/Cloud implementations require an integration focus and a data pipe that can move massive amounts of data from heterogeneous sources. Ingredients the architect should use to bake an IoT cake include dynamic discovery of devices and objects, on-the-fly reconfiguration capabilities, policy-driven provisioning and operation, and software-defined networking. The icing on the cake will be APIs for data analytics and leveraging investment in existing infrastructure.
A typical M2M architecture includes an application domain, a network domain, an M2M device domain and one or more direct connections or gateways from the M2M area network to the network domain. Because M2M device area networks can use a variety of communication technologies (RFID, ZigBee, M-BUS, IEEE 802.15, 6LoWPAN), a gateway layer becomes important. The solutions for communication between the gateway and M2M applications include LTE, WiMAX, xDSL, and WLAN. In the application domain, clients will often include dashboards for data virtualization, status monitoring, reconfiguration and other functions.
With this M2M architecture, roles span layers. There are service providers and application providers that run services that a device owner consumes. The transport network owner's customer is the service provider, and there are also device or gateway operators. Role and identity are critical for provisioning, access to resources, and rights to data.
M2M Security
Because security is not a major achievement of today's Internet, scaling up to 50- to 200-billion connected devices requires innovative solutions. System architects must focus on security at endpoints and when data is in transit: device security, cloud security, and network security. Virtualization must be done with secure virtual machines (VM), secure single-tenant and multi-tenant servers, and secure software defined networks (SDN).
The challenges include the security of smart devices, M2M devices in area networks, and interconnecting networks. The hacking of traffic control systems, baby monitors, smart TVs, and industrial control systems (ICS) has shown us that the threats to connected devices are pervasive. One requirement is authentication, such as in unlocking the doors of a vehicle. In other instances, the requirement is protecting confidential data, such as financial credentials, moving across the network pipe.
We've moved past an era when a perimeter defense against external threats is adequate. Recently, for example, a smart phone manufactured in China was found to have spyware embedded in its firmware. The architecture of the IoT must embrace multi-level security with end-to-end protection. It must support secure communication with data encryption, using standard protocols such as Transport Layer Security (TLS). It should include the use of security processors or encryption chips, and even use lightweight encryption for low-bandwidth devices. We should also exploit smart cards for storing keys and encryption algorithms and SMS authentication by operators. Some SIM makers, such as Gemalto, are developing MIMs that provide authentication and encryption to ensure the identity of machines.
SCADA and Industrial Control Systems
SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems arrived several decades ago, before the emergence of the Internet, so their architectures did not focus on secure connectivity to a global network. Over time, Internet connections became a fact of life for SCADA and industrial control systems (ICS), but they were largely insecure connections. Legacy SCADA systems were vulnerable to insider threats, but the Internet added threats such as denial-of-service, malicious firmware upgrades, identity spoofing, and execution of risky commands.
Stuxnet raised our awareness of cyber threats to industrial control systems. We've recently learned of hacker crews targeting more than 1000 energy companies in 84 countries, including ICS penetrations. And we now know that ICS/SCADA systems in Europe were attacked by botnets that distributed the Havex Remote Access Trojan (RAT).
Establishing machine and object identity can mitigate many risks. For example, Verizon offers an authentication solution: a Managed Certificate Services (MCS) platform for verifying machine identities and securing data transmissions. Establishing identity provides a means for managing data access rights and establishing white and black lists on servers.
M2M and IoT integrity is diminished when security and privacy is an afterthought, grafted on instead of built in. The firmware in connected devices should have an expiration date by which it must be updated. M2M applications will often involve supporting a multi-vendor ecosystem, with connections over Bluetooth, Ethernet, and WiFi. End-to-end security is integral to the design of the Internet of Things and will be a key factor in successful implementations.
M2M/IoT Tools
Development of M2M applications has typically been performed with a variety of protocols using tools from disparate vendors. But now there is growing emphasis on standard protocols, interoperability, tools, and M2M/IoT integration platforms.
Integration platforms will become much more important as we experience the convergence of IoT, cloud computing, analytics, and Big Data. Besides supporting links among cloud applications, they will increasingly become a solution for tying together the distributed devices at one end of a network pipe with enterprise applications and analytics at the other end. Integration platforms shorten the development cycle for connecting devices to the cloud or enterprise systems.
The tools in this space were traditionally built to simplify development with specific, targeted devices and protocols, but now there's interest in tools with broader applicability. The Eclipse Foundation is pushing development of IoT and M2M applications using open-source software. Its efforts include a set of tools and libraries (Koneki), a Linux-based embedded application framework (Mihini), and a collection of communication protocols (Paho). Multiple companies offer toolkits for developers building wireless M2M applications. These include the AT&T M2M Application Platform, the Deutsche Telekom M2M Toolkit, and the Sprint M2M Toolkit. Another alternative is to use an M2M bundle, such as those from Vodafone and other providers. The Vodafone Integrated M2M Terminals, for example, bundle pre-configured connectivity services and hardware, such as smart meters.
There are gateways and integration solutions in existence for bringing together the disparate technologies to be found in a complex M2M project. They act as an intermediary between distributed devices and the applications and services that operate on the data, such as analytics.
Building on a Platform
A project that requires widespread connectivity, security, and the successful marriage of M2M applications and cloud computing is an ambitious undertaking. For many of us, it would be the most complex challenge we've faced. For that reason, we'll naturally favor the use of a platform that handles many of the integration problems of a geographically dispersed, multi-vendor, cloud environment.
For example, one such platform from M2Mi provides a solution for secure software-defined networking (SDN) and rapid provisioning despite the challenges of heterogeneous, multi-vendor interoperability. An effective SDN solution requires device abstraction, dynamic discovery of network topology, and intelligent orchestration. M2Mi Software Defined Networking can provide a secure virtual network for building a dynamic, cloud-based, services-delivery platform, managing orchestration among disparate network and security providers. It uses MQTT as a bridging protocol, complies with established security standards and guidelines (such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework), and can support combinations of security policies and firewalls.
M2Mi SDN can manage both single-tenant and multi-tenant clouds, and it provides libraries that support new and legacy networking. It performs dynamic auto-discovery of network topology, as shown in Figure 1. M2Mi SDN can discover the topology for a set of servers, identify outages, device configurations and correct port settings, and assign provisioning roles.
Figure 1.
The process of creating a secure software-defined network configuration includes creating user accounts and rights, specifying security zones with their rules, and using defining templates for provisioning. Creating an application template is similar to creating a VM template.
In this context, orchestration is the sequencing of actions that enable devices and applications to undertake complex tasks. Orchestration provides abstraction of API and service invocations between devices and applications. After an application or VM is provisioned in a security zone, M2Mi SDN Orchestration configures each security object and policy required for the VM or application to operate appropriately within the zone. It also provides the ability to rapidly change the network and service topology. This is the type of platform we'll need to face the Internet of Everything with sanity.
The convergence of M2M/IOT, cloud computing, and Big Data technologies is both an opportunity and a challenge. These technologies give us the engine for a powerful new generation of services and applications. But there will be trials, such as overcoming complexity and security threats, which are best addressed by adhering to standards and using powerful tools for integration and interoperability.

A bunion removal is a surgery to repair a deformity in the joint that connects the big toe to the foot. It is done by removing excess bone in the joint area and re-aligning the joint.
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for Procedure
A bunion is an inflammation and enlargement of the big toe joint and the tissue around it. In some cases, the deformity is so severe that the bottom of the big toe slants significantly toward the outside of the foot. Surgery to correct it is considered when:
- Other attempts at therapy have failed, such as anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, specially shaped shoes, or inserts to decrease pressure
- The pain of a bunion interferes with walking
- The foot deformity makes walking difficult
Possible Complications
If you are planning to have a bunion removal, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Swelling
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Toe may be misaligned or too short
- The bunion may recur
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Smoking and alcohol abuse
- Diabetes
- Poor nutrition
- Poor health
- Obesity
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor will likely do the following:
- Physical exam, especially of your foot
- Foot x-rays
- Blood work
Leading up to your procedure:
- Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to 1 week before the procedure.
- Arrange for a ride to and from the procedure.
- Arrange for help at home after the procedure.
- The night before, eat a light meal. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
- You may be asked to shower the morning of your procedure. You may be asked to use a special antibacterial soap.
Depending on the complexity of the surgery, you may be given:
- Local anesthesia—The area will be numbed.
- General anesthesia—You will be asleep.
Description of the Procedure
There are several types of bunion removal procedures. A cut will be made into the foot near the bunion. The excess growth of bone will be removed with a bone saw. Depending on the degree of deformity, the doctor may need to cut into the bone of the toe. The bones will then be realigned so that the toe no longer slants to the outside. Other revisions may be needed as well. Improving the angle of the toe and repairing these bones may require a metal pin, screw, or rod to hold the bones in place. The incisions will be closed with stitches. A bulky bandage will be placed over the area.
How Long Will It Take?
Anywhere from less than 30 minutes to over 2 hours
Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. You will have pain after the surgery. Talk to your doctor about medication to help manage the pain.
Average Hospital Stay
You may be released the same day or need to stay in the hospital overnight.
Post-procedure Care
Right after the procedure, you will be in a recovery room where your blood pressure, pulse, and breathing will be monitored. Recovery may also include:
- Pain medication
- Bandaging your foot
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chances of infection, such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding visitors and healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incisions
When you return home, take these steps:
- You may need to wear a special postoperative shoe for several weeks.
- You will be given instructions about whether you may bear weight on your foot. You may need to wear a splint or cast. You may need to use crutches or a walker for a brief time.
- After your foot has healed, you may need to do specific exercises or physical therapy. They will help you regain strength, flexibility, and stamina in your feet.
- Talk with your doctor about the kind of footwear you should use. Make sure that it fits correctly.
- If pins were used in your feet, you may need to have these removed several weeks after your operation.
- Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions.
Bunion removal may result in better movement with less pain. It may take as long as 8 weeks after bunion surgery for your foot to be well healed.
Bunion removal may result in better movement with less pain. It may take as long as 8 weeks after bunion surgery for your foot to be well healed.

Who would Mitt Romney like to see play him in a movie? (Gene Hackman)
What's Romney's guilty pleasure (peanut butter sandwiches and chocolate milk).
And what exactly, does the Republican presidential hopeful wear to bed?
U.S. & World
"Really? Really?" Romney said during an interview taped Friday on ABC's "Live! With Kelly and Michael." ''I think the best answer is as little as possible."
Romney held hands with his wife, Ann, during a lighthearted interview that delved into topics rarely found on the Sunday talkshow circuit and gave the Republican nominee a chance to show his knowledge of pop culture. Like whether he knew much about MTV's "Jersey Shore" star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.
"I'm kind of a Snooki fan," Romney confessed. "Look how tiny's she's gotten. She's lost weight. She's energetic. Just her spark-plug personality is kind of fun."
The Romneys sat down with hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan in an interview scheduled to air Tuesday that covered more typical topics — Romney's plans for reducing unemployment and jumpstarting the economy along with his positions on gun control and health care.
Asked to name something the nation doesn't know about the presidential candidate, Ann Romney said, "He's got a good heart, and I don't think people know that about him."
But the chat took a fun-loving turn when Ripa and Strahan decided the Romneys should participate in a special "Romney Rapid Fire Round." ''If you think a political debate is tough, just buckle up," Ripa warned.
The questions got pretty personal. Asked about a "guilty pleasure," Romney admitted to peanut butter sandwiches and chocolate milk, while Ann Romney confessed to enjoying donuts. When the questions turned to who would play Mitt in a movie, Romney said he'd like to see his "favorite actor," Gene Hackman, in the role. Romney cited Hackman's work in "The Birdcage," where he plays Kevin Keeley, a conservative senator from Ohio whose daughter wants to marry the son of a gay couple. For the role of Ann Romney, the Republican suggested actress Michelle Pfeiffer.
If they could have dinner with anyone, Romney named Nelson Mandela, calling the former South African leader "a world hero." Mrs. Romney said she would have liked to have had dinner with Mother Teresa.
Ann Romney recounted a visit to the White House a few years ago, when she accidentally opened a door and found President George W. Bush in the middle of a massage. "He was covered up but I was so embarrassed," Mrs. Romney said. She saw the president later in the day, and he helped defuse any awkward feelings. "He looks at me and winks, 'I look pretty good,'" she said.
Strahan asked Romney to name his favorite football team, and the former Massachusetts governor was ready: "Sorry about that Mr. Giants," Romney told Strahan, a former lineman for the New York Giants. "But for me it's the New England Patriots."
Both Romneys prefer iPhones to Blackberries, and Mrs. Romney finds it hard to keep up with the Kardashians.
The former Massachusetts governor is a fan of ABC's "Modern Family," a pleasure shared by first lady Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha.

I think Stavro just means all the artwork & graffiti appearing around Cairo with Mina's image. I don't think he's comparing Mina's character to that Communist thug and murderer
But, yes, most of Egypt's youth have been indoctrinated with Leftist ideology
(AINA) -- Yesterday Muslim Salafis assaulted Christians after Sunday mass, angry that Christians from neighboring villages who have no churches attend mass in the village of Tala, el Fashn, in the Beni Suef Governorate. The pastor of St Georges Church Father Cheroubim Chehab could not go out of church for hours after mass.Eyewitnesses reported that as Christians left the church, they found a huge mob of mostly young Salafi Muslims waiting for them, armed with batons. The assault lead to 5 Copts being hospitalized after suffering broken limbs, and the torching of two cars which transported the congregation from the other villages.
(AINA) -- Although the abduction and forced Islamization of Coptic Christian minor girls in Egypt is quite common (AINA 8-11-2009), especially with the rise of Islamists in Egypt after the Muslims Brotherhood took over governing the country, the case of 14-year old Sarah has caused a stir.Sarah Ishaq Abdelmalek, born on August 1, 1998 in the town of el-Dabaa, 130 kilometers from Mersa Matrouh, was on her way to school with her cousin Miriam on Sunday, September 30, when they stopped at a bookshop. Miriam want ahead of Sarah to school, leaving Sarah at the bookstore. No one has seen Sarah ever since.After filing a missing person report with the police, her father received a call to tell him that he will never see his daughter again.
When Alber Saber's mother called police to protect him from a mob baying for his blood, something odd happened: they arrested him. They then threw him in prison, encouraged his cellmates to attack him, and finally took him to court where he was jailed for three months.Mr Saber's alleged offence was all the more significant in light of the new constitution – being voted on by millions of Egyptians on Saturday – that is at the heart of Egypt's political crisis.The mob in his Cairo suburb accused him of atheism and disrespect of the Prophet Mohammed, and demanded he be killed; a neighbour had alleged he had posted to his Facebook page the now notorious Islam-mocking video that triggered protests across the world in September.
Cairo -- The criminal court of Beni Suef (115 km south of Cairo) has sentenced an entire family to prison for converting to Christianity. Nadia Mohamed Ali and her children Mohab, Maged, Sherif, Amira, Amir, and Nancy Ahmed Mohamed abdel-Wahab will spend 15 years in prison. Seven other people involved in the case were sentenced to five years in prison.
(AINA) -- Hundreds of Muslims came out of mosques today with hammers and destroyed a social services building belonging to the Coptic Church while chanting Islamic slogans. Security forces arrived after the building was completely razed. The 100 square meters social services building in the village of Fanous, Tamia district in Fayoum province, 130 KM south west of Cairo, had all the necessary government permits; it had a reception hall on the first floor and a kindergarten on the second.But the Muslims insisted that it would become a church.A meeting had taken place beforehand between the village mayor and elders from Muslim and Coptic sides and it was agreed that only the first floor was to remain and the second be demolished.Mosques in surrounding villages called on their microphones this afternoon on Muslims to go and help their Muslim brethrens in the village of Fanous, because Christians were "building a church." According to rights activist Nader Shukry of Maspero Coptic Youth Organizations, nearly 5000 Muslims took part in demolishing the church property with their hammers, while shouting "Allahu Akbar." He said no one was arrested, not even the imams who called on Muslims to demolish the building; their calls fall under the crime of "enticement to violence."

(AINA) -- Thousands of Muslims from Marashda and surrounding villages attacked eight Coptic homes and businesses, including five pharmacies, which were looted and torched. Coptic-owned cars were also torched. The attack on the Christians was caused by rumor that a 55-year-old Coptic man, Nader Masoud, sexually assaulted a 6-year-old Muslim girl.The Attacks on the village, which has a majority Christian population, started yesterday after 10 PM, when several Coptic businesses were torched, and Church of Abu Fam had its cross demolished and its glass smashed.
A flow of refugees from Syria and Egypt is pouring into Moscow to escape from wars and violence in their country of origin bringing to light the inadequacy of facilities for the reception of immigrants in Russia. The complaint has been made by a veteran in migrant assistance, the president of the 'Civic Assistance Committee', Svetlana Gannushkina. In the past week a family of 10 Coptic Christians, including a child a few months old, presented themselves in their office.
An Egyptian court is forcing two Coptic Christian boys, ages 10 and 9, to stand trial for "insulting the Quran," reports confirmed this week.
(AINA) -- On Friday evening Muslims in the village of Sarsena, Tamiya district in Fayoum province (103 KM southwest of central Cairo) set fire to the church of St. George and hurled stones at it, causing damage to its dome; they broke the cross on top of the dome, demolished parts of its interior and defaced and destroyed its icons. This was prompted by Salafists Muslims who instigated the villagers to attack the church because the church is "an unlawful neighbor to the Muslims who live adjacent to it and must therefore be moved." They demanded the relocation of the church away from Muslim homes and are not allowing its priest Pastor Domadios to enter the church. All these events were witnessed by the security authorities but they did nothing to stop the attack.The church was built in the mid-1980s and serves nearly 200 Coptic families. Three months ago the Muslims made a hole in the church to monitor the activities inside. Yesterday the Muslims said the church has to move and refused an offer from the church to buy the home of the Muslim neighbor. The Muslims also demanded the church not use a small plot of land it owns as a kindergarten.The Muslim neighbor increased the size of the monitoring hole in the church to over one square meter.
ASSIUT, Egypt (AP) — Hundreds of Muslim villagers in Egypt's south have attacked Christian-owned stores in search of a girl whose family claims was abducted....Bani Suef's prosecutor, Hamdi Farouk, said there was no reason to believe Christians were involved in her disappearance.Security chief Ibrahim Hudeib said the girl left her house with her gold and passport in hand and may have fled with a local Muslim boy.
Egytian Muslims Accuse Priest of Using Black Magic on Muslim Girl(AINA) -- Hundreds of Muslims marched for the second day through the street of the Egyptian town of El-Wasta, 90 kilometers south of Cairo in Beni Suef Province, to protest the disappearance of a young Muslim girl, Rania Shazli, and accuse the priest of St. George's Church in Wasta of using black magic to lure her to Christianity.The girl's uncle lead a group of Muslims to force the Copts in town to close all their businesses until the girl is brought back to her family. Coptic owners who refused were forcefully shut down. The Shazli family, supported by local Salafists, threatened to kidnap a Christian girl if their daughter is not brought back and vowed to destroy the church after prayers on Friday, March 22nd....Maj. Gen. Ibrahim Hodeib, head of Beni Suef Security, said the girl has contacted her father more than once to inform him that she is out of the country and married to a Muslim man named Ahmed. He added that security forces are stationed in front of the church buildings, and warned against rioting, and that he would deal firmly with any violation of the law.
Militias of the MB seriously injured Coptic activist Amir AyadMina Thabet – 26/3/13Amir Ayad, member of Maspero Youth Union, founder of Christian Brotherhood group, and member of the fact-finding committee investigating the torture and imprisonment of Copts in Libya, was found Saturday morning at Al-Helal Hospital; with signs of torture across his body, after he had disappeared near the Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in Moqattam.He said before he entered coma that he was kidnapped by the Muslim Brotherhood while participating in demonstrations near the MB headquarter in Moqattam. He was dragged into a mosque before they start torturing and beating him for hours with other demonstrators, and finally he jumped of a window and was saved by some people who live near that mosque.
Hundreds of Christians were under siege inside Cairo's Coptic cathedral last night as security forces and local residents, some armed with handguns, launched a prolonged and unprecedented attack on the seat of Egypt's ancient Church.At least one person was killed and at least 84 injured as Christians inside the walled St Mark's cathedral compound came under a frenzied assault from their assailants in the main road outside...Earlier, witnesses described how they were attacked by locals from Abbasiyya, the north-east Cairo neighbourhood where the cathedral is located. After being hit by rocks from the roofs of nearby buildings, the mourners were reportedly forced back into the cathedral compound....The security forces positioned outside the cathedral launched volley after volley of tear gas into the compound. Some of the thousands of onlookers gathered in the road cheered as the canisters rocketed towards Christians perched on the walls overlooking the main street.One young man, his right hand clasped around a shiny steel handgun, clambered on top of a petrol station alongside the cathedral and blasted a single round at those trapped inside. He was helped down by a friend who was also carrying a handgun, before they both jogged off through a nearby line of riot police who had been watching the young man take aim. Soon afterwards there was a flash from inside the compound as a young man stepped up on to the perimeter wall and fired a weapon towards the thousands of onlookers below....
Children of Satan are waging a stealth genocide against Christians by using different tactics, hitting and running, and coming back when the foolish Christian is asleep while continuing to lead the usual hahaha, hihihi way of life with the enemies of God. How long does it take for Orthodox Christians to realize that socializing with the Muslims means energizing and empowering their own enemies. Please stop socializing yourselves with the Muslims now!The silence of the world is deafening!Declare them guilty, O God!Let their intrigues be their downfall.Banish them for their many sins,for they have rebelled against you.But let all who take refuge in you be glad;let them ever sing for joy.Spread your protection over them,that those who love your name may rejoice in you.Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;you surround them with your favor as with a shield. (Psalms 5: 10-12)
Video of the attack on the cathedral:http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/04/28/new-video-shows-egyptian-police-allowing-attack-on-coptic-cathedral/#It's very disturbing.
CAIRO (AP) -- Amnesty International has called on Egyptian authorities to release a Coptic Christian schoolteacher held for contempt of Islam.The rights group on Friday denounced the detention of 24-year-old Dimiana Abdel-Nour, a social studies teacher in a southern village near the famed city of Luxor. She was accused by some students of allegedly showing contempt while talking about Islam in class last month.
Coptic-owned businesses and pharmacies in Menbal village, Minya in northern Egypt were attacked by a mob, resulting in extensive damage and several injuries."The thugs attacked my shop, assaulting it with stones. Some of the contents were damaged … they destroyed a number of Coptic-owned shops and pharmacies," Michael Sobhi, a witness from the village, told Mideast Christian News."The Copts of the village couldn't confront the thugs, as their numbers increased. They had firearms and blades, so Copts tried to avoid fighting with them," he added.

Logitech Harmony Touch Smart Touchscreen Universal Controller
Remote controls can essentially be clumped into three categories: low-, middle-, and high-end. At the low end are DIY models that offer basic "all-in-one" control functions and are meant to replace lost or broken manufacturer-issued remotes. High-end models require professional programming and provide powerful automation features, IP and RS-232 control, and radio-frequency operation. In the middle are models like the Harmony Touch, a DIY universal remote with sufficient programming capabilities to meet the needs of the average Sound+Vision reader.
Harmony burst onto the remote control scene in the early 2000s and captured a large market share?due to its fresh design philosophy and Internet-based programming wizard. (In fact, one of my first product reviews for S+V back in 2003 was the Harmony 768.) The Harmony line, which was acquired by Logitech?in 2004, has continued to develop and evolve over ?the years, though it hasn't seen a real change since the Harmony One in 2008. But Logitech's "back to the drawing board" design for the new Harmony Touch (which reminds me of the original Harmony 768 in some ways) incorporates lessons learned over the years, as well as other updates that bring it up to speed for modern systems.
The Touch certainly looks cool, arriving in an attractive box that includes a charging cradle and power cable,? a USB cable, and a nice booklet explaining button layout and operation that also includes a programming primer. It stands vertically in the charging cradle and has a rechargeable battery that doesn't appear to be replaceable.
Harmony pioneered Internet-based remote control setup using a Mac or PC, and over the years it has continued to tweak the process. For the seasoned programmer, Harmony's wizard-based guide, which requires you to wade through the same steps each time you make changes, can be a bit tedious. However, for a typical user — i.e., someone who only sets up a new remote every few years — it's pretty close to perfect.
Logitech recently made a significant change to the Harmony programming process by moving it to the "MyHarmony.com" site. Multiple remotes can now be associated with the same e-mail address, making ?it much easier to manage a multi-remote household. (Previously, each remote required its own unique e-mail address during setup, so for a multiple-remote home you would end up creating fictitious e-mail addresses like "Smithliving" and "Smithbed.")

Since we didn't get much response from our Facebook fans about hosting an "eco-conscious" Halloween costume contest this year, we thought you might need some inspiration. We've scoured the web for some common eco-themed costume ideas and listed our top picks below. However, we'd still like to extend the opportunity for you to submit your green-themed costume idea for the chance to win your very own orange Vapur anti-bottle. If you haven't been a winner in one of our previous weekly Facebook giveaways, this might be your golden opportunity! Just submit a photo of yourself, wearing your "green-themed" Halloween costume, along with a brief description, to [email protected] by Nov. 4 for your chance to win. We'll post all pictures in a photo album on our page. If you're having trouble coming up with an idea, this list should help get your creative juices flowing…
Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb
Wear all white and wrap a dozen or so inflated white balloons around your body from your chest to your hips in a "spiral" fashion, and voila! You're an eco-friendly light bulb.
Mother Earth Overheating
Dress up as Mother Nature for Halloween and add some red face paint to give you that "heated" look. For an extra touch, carry a toy thermometer and a spray bottle full of water to spread the message that Mother Earth is overheated.
A Hobo
This one's not so green-themed, but it is eco-friendly, because you won't have to go out and spend money on another Halloween costume. Rather, you can look to your own closet for inspiration. That old box of worn-out clothes that was gonna go to Goodwill? Don't throw it out just yet… wait 'til Nov. 1.
A Tree
Wear brown leggings and a green shirt. Collect fallen leaves from outside and attach them to your shirt. Now you're a tree. Alternatively, you could be a…
Treehugger, instead.
Dress like a hippie, make your own tree prop from cardboard or paper mache, and walk around hugging that tree all night long.
The Pacific Garbage Patch
This one's easy. Dress in all blue. Then use tape to secure plastic bottles, plastic bags, milk jugs, used beer bottles, and all types of other trash items to your body. The more you tape on, the bigger you'll get, and since the Pacific Garbage Patch is about the size of Texas, that's really the point.
Greenwashed (or Green Man)
Wear all green. Paint your face green. Paint your body green. Or if you're a fan of the FX TV series It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, buy a Green Man costume and kill two birds with one stone. (Not literally – as that wouldn't be very earth-friendly…) Green Man makes several appearances in the TV show, so don't feel lame about wearing your costume again for several years to come, if you really want to be green.
Al Gore
Simple and classic. Wear a dark suit and don't forget your prop – "An Inconvenient Truth," under your right arm. It's bound to start some interesting conversation.
Captain Planet
This one's another classic. You can buy the already-made, ready-to-wear costume, or you can be really eco-friendly and make your own.
Willie Nelson
Get yourself a long grey wig and braid it into 2 long pigtail braids, if you'd like. Top it off with a bandanna, a cowboy hat and a fake grey beard, and you're done… almost. Don't forget the acoustic guitar. Write a country song about biofuels, and you'll really impress your friends.
That's all we have for now. Submit your ideas, and we'll choose a winner next week. Good luck and Happy Halloween!

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
Different optical cables are needed for different applications. Before you select a cable to interconnect fiber devices, make sure that the following things match:
Mode: Single Mode or Multi Mode.
Wavelength: For example, 850 nm, 1310 nm, or 1550 nm.
Note: The above properties cannot be converted or changed by a cable.
When you select a cable, make sure that the cable ends (for example, LC, SC, ST, or MT) match the fiber media devices.
Simplex and duplex ends are available for most connector types. Simplex cables have the connectors separate, where duplex cables have the transmit (TX) and receive (RX) connectors joined together. StarTech.com fiber media devices are compatible with simplex and duplex connectors.
It does not matter which diameter or OM classification the cable uses, as long as it meets the mode requirement.
Fiber media converters can be used to convert a standard Ethernet connection to a standard fiber connection, or can be used to extend a copper Ethernet network. When you use fiber media converters to extend a copper Ethernet network, make sure that the same fiber standards are being used on either end of the fiber network.
UPC and APC are fiber cable connector types. UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connectors have a fiber connector end face that has been polished to be dome-shaped. This results in light that can be reflected straight back to the source.
APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors have a fiber connector end face that has been polished at an eight degree angle. This results in a reduced amount of light that is reflected between the two connected fibers.
StarTech.com fiber cables use UPC connectors.
When you troubleshoot issues with a network cable, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
Network devices
Network cables
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the network devices and network cables in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use different network devices and network cables in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
Test each cable individually.
Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the network devices and network cables, make sure that the link LEDs (if present) turn on for both of the devices. This indicates basic network connectivity between the network devices. You also need to determine if your devices need a straight through or a crossover cable. For more information about straight through and crossover cables, see the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/network_cables_straight_through_vs_crossover
If the link LEDs are not illuminated or there are not any LEDs present, you will need to troubleshoot your devices. Alternatively, you can also use a network cable tester, such as the REMOTETEST or LANTESTPRO.

Stonington about to lose link to the sea that has endured for 134 years
Stonington - The steady demise of the commercial fishing industry has claimed another victim - one of the town's oldest businesses.
Family-owned Wilcox Marine Supply, which began in 1879, will close early next year mainly because of increasingly strict commercial fishing regulations that have led to a dramatic decline in customers, according to owner Jeff Wilcox.
"You try to figure out different ways to do things so you can stay in business. I've reinvented myself several times, but I don't have any ideas left," said the 64-year-old Wilcox, whose family has run the business for four generations. "It's been in my family so long you feel like you're letting your ancestors down, but you just have to get over it."
In 2002, Wilcox moved the business from his larger quarters on Old Stonington Road back to the original Wilcox Road location as business dropped off with the decline in the commercial fishing industry. The business provides a wide array of equipment and services for owners of both commercial and recreational boats.
Wilcox said that 50 years ago, there were 50 boats in the Stonington fishing fleet, but now there are just five fishing and scallop boats. Lobstering in Long Island Sound is currently shut down.
Wilcox pointed to federal regulations that drastically limit the number of days that boats can operate and how much fish they can land in order to restore fishing stocks. He said there are no other businesses that serve commercial fishermen left in the state.
Wilcox said that the decline has gotten to the point where he paid himself just $9,000 in salary last year.
"If the customers were still here, I probably would have done this until I died," he said.
While he does have recreational boating customers, he said that season is only four months long, and private boaters are using their boats less because of high fuel costs. He said he relied on his commercial fishing customers to get him through the other eight months of the year.
"It isn't just here," he said about the effect of regulations on fishing-related businesses such as his. "It's in New Bedford, Gloucester and Point Judith. It really makes no sense. These regulations have nothing to do with conservation."
Wilcox, who began working at the business in July 1972, just days after getting out of the Navy, said he won't close until January or February because he still has to sell his remaining inventory.
The property, with sweeping views of Fishers Island Sound, has been for sale for several years.
There are two lots, one that contains his father's house and a garage, while an adjacent 3.5 acres contains the 3,000-square-foot marine supply building, a home and a garage. The property also includes 11 acres of barrier beach property across the Amtrak rail lines.
As for what he'll do next, the longtime volunteer firefighter with the Quiambaug department said it won't be sitting around relaxing.
"I may do that for a while, but I know it won't last," he said.
