CATV Infrastructure Cable providers operate directly or lease network capacity to support customers. CATV traffic typically runs over fiber optic cables on the provider’s end and over coaxial cables on the customer’s end. DOCSIS Most cable networks support the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS). DOCSIS defines how digital signaling over CATV lines works. The original DOCSIS 1.0 was ratified in 1997 and has been improved gradually over the years:...

Tyreek Hill signed a three-year, $54 million extension with the Chiefs that puts him among the highest-paid players at his position. The deal reportedly included a $5.9 million signing bonus, $22.5 million guaranteed at signing and $35 million in injury guarantees. All this for a player who was suspended by the team for three months during the offseason while child abuse charges were investigated. Hill, 25, skated on the legal matter when authorities could not determine whether he caused his 3-year-old son’s broken arm even though Crystal Espinal, the boy’s mother and Hill’s former fiancee, accused Hill on a recording of inflicting the injury....

The first attempt at filming Dune came in 1971; it had only been six years since the book’s first printing. But there was more demand for sci-fi stories after the release of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey in 1968. Because of this, Apjac (the studio that made the Planet of the Apes movies) snapped up the rights to Dune. They offered David Lean, director of Lawrence of Arabia and many other great movies, the chance to helm the project....

Washington has begun to change the way it spies. Last week, the chairmen of the Senate and House intelligence committees, Sen. David Boren and Rep. Dave McCurdy, proposed a sweeping reorganization of the American intelligence community that would reduce its $30 billion-a-year budget. Next month CIA Director Robert Gates will report to the White House on the agency’s vision of spying in the 21st century. The agency has made no secret of the fact that it is devoting more attention to drug trafficking, nuclear proliferation, terrorism and economic intelligence....

“If it’s her body, she gets to use her terminology. We have to speak the language of the patients, not of political positions. Women don’t come to us and say, ‘I’m having an abortion because it’s my choice.’ They say, ‘I’m having an abortion because I can’t have a baby.’ And sometimes they feel sad about that.” These are some of the honest discussions taking place around America’s most contentious personal moral and ethical issue....

Clinton’s expected entry into the race next week gives Democrats a chance to break the liberal lock on the party. His charisma and moderate positions make him the man some Democrats have dreamed of since the Dukakis debacle. Clinton, 45, entered politics as an antiwar McGovernite and can point to a progressive record in his five terms as governor. Until last summer, he chaired the centrist Democratic Leadership Council. It’s far from clear, however, if the eclectic Clinton can survive a primary process dominated by liberal activists....

Obama has yet to show that he can beat Clinton among traditional Democrats. But when 20,000 students come out on a Sunday afternoon at Penn State to hear him, it’s a sure sign that something good is happening in his campaign. Penn State is not Harvard Yard. It’s not a liberal bastion. It’s a football school; it’s where all the white linebackers come from, one pollster explains to me. These are the children of the steelworkers, the cultural descendants of Archie Bunker, and for them, the fact that Obama is black is a good thing....

Yet we know now that it showed the shape of things to come. The shooters were caught and executed. But several of the Egyptian Islamists rounded up in connection with the murder, including Dr. Ayman Al-Zawahiri, would go on to become core figures in Al Qaeda. And radicals on all sides discovered the power to disrupt plans for peace with a single spectacular act of terror. (The murder of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin at the hands of a Jewish extremist would come in 1995....

Well, almost. Certain details are not at all familiar. The day is nearly over and George hasn’t shed a tear or locked himself in the bathroom. The friends in the kitchen don’t deal drugs. There are serious fitness machines scattered among the Buddhas, velvet couches and religious statuettes. And Boy George, 31, has a hit single on the American pop charts-his first in five years. “Some people thought he was dead,” says Daniel Glass, president of EMI Records Group, which released Boy George’s single of “The Crying Game” in the States....

Virginia’s new rail system-another line, from Washington 33 miles west to Manassas, opened in late June-is the latest sign of America’s new love affair with an old form of transportation: commuter trains. Commuter-rail ridership has risen 25 percent in the past decade, to 325 million passengers a year. New lines are sprouting as states struggle to meet tighter federal clean-air standards, and seats and parking places are in short supply....

“Siri, print and collate six copies of the file 2018 quarterly report.” Siri may not be quite up to that command yet, but it may not be too far off. With the power available in your Mac, it would be easy enough for it to recognize “print” as a command to open the default app for the file named “2018 quarterly report” and then print out the number of copies requested....

The 15th Amendment says the right to vote shall not be “denied or abridged” on account of race. In 1982 the Voting Rights Act was amended to proscribe any practice, regardless of discriminatory intent, that “results” in denial or abridgment of that right. The test is whether minority voters have less opportunity than others “to participate in the political process and to elect representatives of their choice.” Now, never mind the damage done to democracy by the notion of group entitlements - that certain groups are denied the right to vote if members of those groups do not have an appropriate chance to win....

Newnes Glow Worm Tunnel New South Wales, Australia In the early 1900s, this 1,312-foot-long tunnel was built as part of a railway used by miners. Now, the long-abandoned tunnel in Wollemi National Park a few hours outside Sydney is a damp and dark footpath, and it is illuminated by the magical green-blue light of countless glow worms. Maunsell Army Sea Forts England These forts on stilt off England’s east coast were originally World War II gun towers to defend against German aircraft....

Here, we explain all you need to know about The Crew 2 including release date, how to play the game early, gameplay details and more. We recently went hands-on with the game, and you can find out more about it in our The Crew 2 preview. When will The Crew 2 be released? While Ubisoft had originally planned a release date of 16 March 2018, in December 2017 the company announced a delay to “invest additional development time,” with the game now scheduled only for “the first half of Fiscal 2018-19” – which, given the dates of Ubisoft’s financial year, means anywhere between April and September 2018....

It’s no secret that 2020 played host to plenty of stellar new games, but the scores to come from a lot of these games were even more fantastic. Unique twists on existing tracks in Final Fantasy 7 Remake or Persona 5 Royal enriched existing soundtracks greatly. Original compositions in surprise hits like Hades and Genshin Impact provided fresh and unique video game music that, in many ways, is unlike anything else out there....

In June, unverified leaks concerning the next State of Play started doing the rounds online. Some of the rumors suggested that the next God of War game, Death Stranding: Director’s Cut, and Ghost of Tsushima’s expansion would have big reveals. A few days ago, Sony confirmed the State of Play for July, but its details haven’t lined up with the previous leaks.
