How Cable Modems Work
Basic explanation of DOCSISSo you have a broadband connection at home/work and are wondering how it all works. Well I hope to explain to you how it works on a low-tech level so you will have a better understanding of how your connection works. Broadband services from cable companies or Multiple Service Operator’s (MSO’s) are normally provided via cable modems and 90% of the cable modems are using DOCSIS (Data over Cable Service Interface Specification). So let’s now look at what DOCSIS is and what is means. DOCSIS defines interface requirements for cable modems involved in high-speed data distribution over cable television system networks (definition from cablelabs.com). With DOCSIS comes the different versions (1.0, 1.1, 2.0, & soon 3.0) and the limits for each version. We are not too worried with the versions and limits between the versions as consumers since we just want speed and security. But the important thing about DOCSIS is th

Understanding Covered Calls - Part 1
The covered call is not only one of the most common, but it is also one of the most easily understood methods used by options investors. This article provides a brief overview of covered as well as information about how to get started in covered call investing.A covered call is a very simple device to understand. It is a type of option where the investor writes call contracts to sell an equity or commodity at a certain price, on or before a specified end-date. For each call contract written, the investor must hold 100 shares of the underlying security. The investor is paid a premium when the call contracts are sold. This premium is paid to the investor by the buyer of the options contract, which results in money deposited into the investor’s account. Simply put, a covered call is termed “covered” because the investor owns 100 shares of the underlying for every 1 call option sold. A covered call uses the term “call” because the investor

Part 1 - The National Guard

Outraged at the Federal Congress's apparent will to draft and pass legislation intended to legally place control of National Guard Troops in the hands of President Bush, over 20 State Governors assembled in Charleston, South Carolina for the 3 Day, Annual Conference of the National Governors' Association to take a stand.

It is important to note right of the bat here, that this Bill would authorize George W. Bush, a man who abandoned his service to the Texas National Guard, to be in control of the National Guard forces of every state in our country, in addition to the Federal Army, Navy, Air Force, and other military resources he currently controls.

The Bill in question is titled:

The National Defense Authorization Act, and it has already passed the U.S. House of Representatives. The Senate has not yet weighed in on the measure.

A large complaint brought up during the Governors' Conference suggested that the measure would eliminate the need for the Federal Government to seek permission of the State's Governor before deploying that State's Guard Troops.

This was exampled in protest from Gov. Blanco of the Hurricane Destroyed State of Louisiana. If any Governor were to support such federalization in hopes that it would aid disaster areas, Gov. Blanco would be that leader. However, Blanco's testimony offers a stunningly honest indictment of the federalization process, and witnessed her first hand experience with Federalized Disaster relief under the current Executive,

"Federalization just for the sake of federalization makes no sense, you don't need federalization to get federal troops. Just making quick decisions can make things happen."

Water Conservation Concept for Carwashes; Is It Marketable
In a special research project for a Business Marketing class, one student proposes using all the carwash wastewater runoff to be recycled and reused for other purposes around the carwash property. Now then the question of the day is this; Is Such a Water Conservation Concept for Carwashes Marketable to the carwash Industry? Yes or No.In explaining her concept and innovation Business Student Paula Chavis states; “The recycled water can then be used inside the car wash to flush toilets or as tap water in the break room and bathrooms. It can also be used to water the landscape around the property as well.”Indeed this is possible and wise for those carwashes, which are old and looking to save water and use that PR so there is no public outcry of their water usage during drought periods. I can recall in Santa Barbara, CA in the early 90’s that they instituted drought water police like the have now in Las Vegas, NV and like they had i

Buying The Right Notebook
The single most important reason anyone buys a notebook is for portability. This is something that you can take anywhere. If you frequently travel in your work, you need a notebook. If you are a student going back and forth to the university, you need a notebook. If you are journalist traveling the world and submitting articles, you need a notebook. And today’s notebooks can be as powerful as most desktops with dual processors, large capacity internal drives, and other attractive features. But which one is right for you? How do you determine what type of notebook will fit your current needs plus allow you to expand for the future?And the first part of the answer to the question of which one is right for you leads to a half-answer: “It depends.” It depends on what you are going to do with the computer. Are you going to use it for work or recreation? Is it something needed for your profession or are you a hobbyist? Do you play a lot of g

The Difference Between Formal and Informal Writing
When it comes to writing in English, there are two main styles of writing - formal and informal. Consider these two examples:Example 1: This is to inform you that your book has been rejected by our publishing company as it was not up to the required standard. In case you would like us to reconsider it, we would suggest that you go over it and make some necessary changes.Example 2: You know that book I wrote? Well, the publishing company rejected it. They thought it was awful. But hey, I did the best I could, and I think it was great. I’m not gonna redo it the way they said I should.The difference between the two is obvious. The first one is formal, and the second is informal. But what is it that makes them formal and informal?It is the style of writing, or the way we use words to say what we want to say. Different situations call for different ways of putting words together. The way we write in academic and

This author would take this argument one step further, and outline that State Governors, directly elected by the Citizens of that state, have historically always been primarily responsible for commanding the National Guard of their State. Surely Bush would have insisted this was the case during his sitting term as Governor of Texas. Enacting the National Guard, as was done in Louisiana in the wake of Katrina, was clearly not the final solution to the recovery and disaster aid problem. This problem is currently ongoing, and is a direct result of Bush's failure to respond to the needs of the victims. I'll refer you to two other P&M Columns for daily evidence of this fact:
