04-06-2012 10:09 Pastor Benny Hinn - Reconciliation and Restoration Continues It all began at Christmas when we were together at Suzanne's house in Orlando, Florida. Suzanne and I and all of our children and grandchildren were there. It was a beautiful day I will never forget, and that is when the Lord began to do His mighty work. Suzanne and I want to thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for praying for us and our family. The Lord has surely answered your prayers! Suzanne and I are more in love with each other than ever before. The covenant we made with God more than 30 years ago was never broken in His sight. Both of us believe our greatest days are ahead and the best is yet to come. The last three years have been very painful for Suzanne and me and for the children—more painful than we can ever explain or describe. Suzanne and I will share much more with you in a future letter and soon on This Is Your Day. Please be watching next Thursday and Friday, June 7--8. Our marriage died for two reasons. One, I, Benny Hinn, was married to the ministry, not realizing it was killing my marriage. And two, Suzanne started taking certain prescription medications to help her cope with some of her personal struggles. She became dependant on those for nearly 15 years, and those medications made her behave erratically at times. As her husband, I did not know what kinds of medicine she was taking or realize what they were doing to her. What I want you to know is that she was totally set free from ...

'The Annie Nugent House' near Watsonville is up for sale.

WATSONVILLE - A property owner here and his wife are putting up for sale an opulent restored Victorian house whose troubled past, while it hasn't resulted in any ghost sightings to date, does have an occasional unexplained noise.

"Every once in awhile we'll hear something we can't identify, like a thump noise, or an occasional creak in the attic," said Max Kelley, owner of the home on Rancho Brazil Lane (off Whiting Road) near Watsonville.

The house, described as a Queen Anne Victorian, is called "The Annie Nugent House" for its original owner. Annie Nugent was the widow of a well-to-do former Irish immigrant, Lawrence S. Nugent. After he died, Nugent commissioned a renowned architect, William Weeks, to build a house for her and her two children, Mary and James Nugent.

Originally on 100 acres, the home was the scene of a grisly murder in 1903. Mary Nugent, fiance of a local attorney, was shot by a cousin who had been attempting to bilk the family out of money. The man hid in a closet on the second floor of the home when police surrounded it. They opened fire from the yard, hitting the man through the closed closet door. He staggered outside and was gunned down.

The scandal and murder were reported in San Francisco newspapers of the period and the bullet holes in the home can still be seen today.

"There is a barn on the property and I was out there looking from some trim pieces," Kelley said. "I've done a lot of trim work as part of the restoration. I saw a board with holes in it and found one of the bullets embedded in the wood."

The home was also reportedly a brothel in the 1960s.

The Loma Prieta Earthquake of 1989 knocked the home off its foundation. It was cut into 14 pieces, moved to its present site on 3.5 acres, and reassembled by Jim Rector, owner of Cypress Construction in Watsonville.

REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwire -06/06/12)- ASSIA, Inc., the leading provider of high-performance software tools for Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM) of digital subscriber line (DSL) networks, has just published a white paper that presents a solution for maintaining a competitive environment among DSL service providers as they upgrade their lines from asynchronous digital subscriber lines (ADSLs) to vectored very-high-speed digital subscriber lines (vectored VDSLs). "Methods for Supporting Vectoring when Multiple Service Providers Share the Cabinet Area" is available for download from the ASSIA DSL Knowledge Center on the ASSIA Web site.

With data rates exceeding 100 megabits per second (Mbps) at loop lengths of up to 1,000 meters, vectored VDSL benefits consumers who increasingly rely on mobile devices for accessing rich media content and on high-bandwidth services such as Internet Protocol television (IPTV). Vectored VDSL also can catapult widely installed DSL to new performance standards beyond shared cable and fiber broadband services. However, crosstalk between lines from multiple competitive Internet service providers (ISPs) sharing the same cabinet area may degrade the performance of vectored VDSLs. As government mandates worldwide attempt to promote competition between incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) and competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), some in the industry advocate restrictions that would allow only the ILECs to manage all vectored lines in a single cabinet area to avoid this issue and secure the full benefits of vectoring.

"The misperceptions that vectoring technology requires wholesale replacement of DSL infrastructure and is incompatible with unbundling do a disservice to the operator community, broadband consumers and broadband competition," said Marc Goldburg, chief technology officer of ASSIA and co-author of the white paper. "Properly managed with Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM) solutions, different DSL technologies operated by different service providers can coexist in the same physical plant, while preserving each provider's ability to deliver advanced, differentiated services."

Informa Senior Analyst Stephen Wilson recently examined the possibility of using DSM to maintain a competitive environment while reducing vectored VDSL crosstalk, and wrote in a blog post that "DSM can control the transmit spectrum of different lines, sometimes in coordinated fashion, using a spectrum management centre (SMC). DSM can dynamically shape the power spectral density of lines or how the power on a line is distributed across different frequencies. By doing this it may even be possible to reduce the power on a line and have higher bit rates because crosstalk has been lessened."

The latest white paper from ASSIA also clarifies the tools operators need to manage the simultaneous presence of vectored and non-vectored lines and also multiple vectoring groups as existing DSL equipment is gradually replaced with vectored DSL. The paper also explains how the rich capabilities of DSM can address the technical requirements of managing various types of DSLs from multiple service providers sharing the same cabinet area, while promoting healthy competition and protecting end users from unhealthy monopolies.

ASSIA is not only addressing the issue on paper; its latest product release, ASSIA DSL Expresse 2.7, is the first product to offer advanced network management software for multi-tenant environments. The multi-tenant architecture facilitates carrier unbundling by enabling multiple service providers' simultaneous use of the same software instance to optimize their lines' interplay and performance.

ASSIA CTO Goldburg also presented these findings and more in his presentation, "Vectoring Coexistence: Unvectored Services and Unbundled Environments," at the recent TNO DSL Seminar 2012 in Leiden, The Netherlands.

About ASSIA, Inc. ASSIA, Inc. develops high-performance software tools that dramatically improve the speed and reach of DSL networks. Using Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM), these platform-agnostic tools enable DSL service providers to manage lines in real time and to lower capital and operating expenses, increase revenue, and deliver new multimedia content to the broadband-enabled home. ASSIA has more than 60 million lines under contract with top-tier service providers worldwide and is backed by strategic investors, including AT&T, Mingly China Growth Fund, SFR Development, Sandalwood Partners, Sofinnova Partners, Stanford University, Swisscom Ventures, T-Ventures, and Telefonica.

ANALYSIS By Chris Davie

As the opening of the transfer window draws ever closer and speculation becomes increasingly rife, many clubs will be waiting for this summers major tournament to play out before choosing to part with their cash.

Goal.com takes a look at the players competing in the European Championship who could be Premier League-bound this summer. Next up is Group C, containing Croatia, Italy, Republic of Ireland and Spain.

Milan BadeljMIDFIELDER | CROATIA

Sebastian GiovincoFORWARD | ITALY

The 25-year-old showed that he is sharp in front of goal and has an eye for a pass by playing a key role in the Gialloblu's eighth-place finish in Serie A.

Juventus still own 50 per cent of the rights for the diminutive forward, with Parma holding the rest, leaving his future with the newly-crowned Serie A champions uncertain.

Aiden McGeadyWINGER | REPUBLIC OF IRELAND

Euro 2012 is now an opportunity for the winger to put himself in the shop window, and with Martin O'Neill set to bolster his Sunderland squad this summer, the Republic of Ireland international could be in the frame for a move to the Stadium of Light.
