DJ Steve Spinelli is a disc jockey from the Boston Massachusetts area. Although being a well known nightclub/mobile DJ in the Boston area, he actually become somewhat popular in the late 1990s/early 2000s in the "p2p community" (p2p meaning "peer-to-peer").

At the time, p2p programs such as Napster, WinMX, Kazaa, Audio Galaxy and Soulseek, were most popular for sharing files, i.e., downloading/uploading mp3s, movies, etc.

How he become popular was by putting his name in parentheses after the artist/song title. By doing this, people would search for a song, find it, then see "(DJ Spinelli)" in the file name.

As of this writing, his name still appears on mp3 files in the p2p world.

Roll the Bones is a song by the Canadian Rock band Rush (compromised of Bassist Geddy Lee, Drummer Neil Peart and Guitarist Alex Lifeson) the song is one of the first to show the bands influence from incredably diffrent genres - of course Classic Rock and Jazz had been a main influence, yet Roll the Bones features a rap section - also helping to back up the comments for rush's versatality with there styles.

the meaning of this song, like many, has been discussed and never really put onto solid ground. band members from rush has suggested ideas but have ultimately left it up to listeners. popular theories include Atheism, Life and Chances and Geddy Lee's son and his future life(not as commonly suggested as the other two).

As stated earlier in the article, this song has a "rap section". it is sung by a skeleton, and the voice for the skeleton is acheived by Geddy Lee using various effects to lower and distort his voice. what sounds like an organ is used to bridge between the chorus and the verses, and as rush have always been famous for there is almost a "white noise" of synthesizers during certain parts of the song.

Introduction

This breed of high flying pigeons is a decendant from the domesticated rock dove. It is classified as a tippler pigeon.

Origin

This breed originated in the southern Ukraine, specifically in the Black Sea region. The first known flight was held in Nikloaev, a city in southern Ukraine, over one hundred years ago.

FLYING STYLE

This breed flies straight up in to the sky (hence the name "skycutter.")  As a member of the tippler family, this breed can maintain an altitude of one kilometer or 1000 meters for anywhere from 2-8 hours. Unlike normal pigeon breeds, this race flaps their wings in a circular motion. This breed should be flown as often as possible because training these birds to high fly takes a long time.

Housing

Ukrainian Skycutter lofts are normally raised off the ground so that the birds will be able to see the loft from the sky. Their loft must be kept dry and ventilated to prevent the birds from getting ill. These birds are known to be very hardy.

Feeding

Polish Orliks are able to adjust to many diets, as long as the feed is clean and contains the neccesary vitamins for a healthy diet. Corn should not be fed as it contains large amounts of calories.

Corey Worthington

This request for creation has been declined. Please do not modify it.

This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text.

If you want to make changes and try again, copy and paste your article into a new submission and make your changes there.

Corey Worthington (formerly referred to incorrectly in the media as Corey Delaney), is a 16 year old Australian male at the center of a police inventigation regarding a 500 strong party at his residence in Melbourne on Saturday the 13th of January. Mr Worthington organised the party at his residence in Galloway Drive, Narre Warren South whilst his parents were on holidays at the Gold Coast, using a combination of the online networking site Myspace and text messages to spread word of the event. Over 500 revellers gate-crashed the party and resulted in terrified neghbours calling the authorities as the drunken youths created havoc on the streets. Senior Sergeant Russell Patten of Endeavour Hills police said the arrival of the Victorian Police included 30 police, two police cars, a helicopter, two dog squad units, a critical incident response team, Operation Sarazan (police from Noble Park), transit police and divisional van crews. The police prescens hearalded further violance and damage, with partygoers throwing bottles at police and neighbours vehicles. Letter boxes and other property were also damaged as the youths were dispersed. The clean up bill has estimated to be nearly $20,000 AUD, a bill that still as yet may be forwarded to Mr Worthington and his family. Some memebers of the public were so angered by Mr Worthingtons actions, that Victorian Acting Premier Rob Hulls personally adressed the media regarding the incident.

He has already began to profit from his actions, collecting at least two appearance fees, one from Channel Nine’s A Current Affair and another from Melbournes FOX FM (from which he received $750 dollars). At one point, radio host Matt Tilley tried to forcibly remove the boy's trademark yellow sunglasses, resulting in a minor scuffle. Offers have also flowed in from Channel Ten, who have expresseed interest in Mr Worthington hosting Big Brother. Tim Sabre of Raw Entertainment has also offered My Worthington a $10,000 fee to host his own under 18’s event in Melbourne. Encouraged by his ballooning media profile, Mr Worthingotn has contacted Melbourne's Nova studios and demanded a $900 fee for an interview with himself and two friends - $300 each - as well as a limo to the studio, CDs and concert tickets for the entire year. Zoo Weekly has approached the Mr Worthington and Universal Music is believed to be considering a reissue of the Beastie Boys classic Fight For Your Right (To Party), using Mr Worthington’s image.

Mr Worthington was arrested on Wednesday the16th of January after he was picked up by police in a Melbourne seaside suburb. It is allegged that he has been charged with the creation of child pornography. A second 16 year old youth was also arressted. Police said Mr Worthington has been bailed to appear at a children's court on 22 February.

Global Response

The incident has been the subject of intense media scrutiny. Well-known Australian adolescent psychologist Michael Carr-Gregg has accused Corey's parents of overlooking their son's ability to cause mischief and said they were wrong to criticise his behaviour in a television interview instead of disciplining him in private.

The fashion world has also waded into the debate, positivley noting the unique dress sense exhibited by the teen, with www.news.com.au journalist Patty Huntington noting that Mr Worthington’s Generation ‘Party’ are much bolder in style than preceeding generations. Her article notes, ‘When did Australian blokes become so flamboyant?’. The Yellow sunglasses have become an overnight sensation and the main subject of the webiste www.coreydelaney .com, one of four dedicated websites put online following the infamous party. One such site, slapcorey.com has attracted over 400,000 people who have ‘knocked some sense’ into the meboune teen.

Wikipedia contributions bearing his name have previously been deleted by moderators sparking a huge outcry of both support and anger by the internet community regarding the notability of Mr Worthington and the party event. It is generally accepted that the media\online community frenzy phenomena in itself warranted the creation of an entry, with no less than four website having been created specifially regarding the melbourne ‘party boy’ and the huge (45+ domestic and international news articles) attention the event has received. The creations of ‘Corey Delaney’ clothing has cemented this view, as this is an indicator that both Mr Worthington and the party event have entered domestic popular culture.

Access Service Network Functions

Protocol Layering of WiMAX considers end-to-end protocol layering. Data and control packets are forwarded from the MS to the CSN in uplink. The traffic is concentrated in the ASN-GW and forwarded to the CSN and same way, concentrated in the ASN-GW for downlink and distributed to the MSs residing in different BSs. IP packets use IP convergence sublayer (IP-CS) or Ethernet convergence sublayer (ETH-CS) over IEEE 802.16e. The IP-CS with IP-in-IP encapsulation between BS and ASN-GW is considered in most designs. Bridging is also another way of routing packet within ASN. Network Discovery and Selection implements manual or automatic selection of the appropriate network. MS first discovers all the NAPs where each has an Operator ID embedded into Base Station ID and transmitted with DL-MAP of each frame. And MS continue to listen the channel for SII-ADV signal which system identity information advertisement to advertise NSP IDs. The MS selects one NSP from the list according to an algorithm and performs network entry and provide its identity and its home NSP domain with a network access identifier (NAI). The ASN selects the next AAA hop from the realm portion of the NAI.

IP Address Assignment is done through DHCP or AAA: ASN hosts DHCP relay or DHCP proxy respectively. In order to deliver the point of attachment IP address to MS. For IPv6 there is access router in ASN to obtain globally routable IP address. The MS gets the care-of-address (CoA) from ASN and home address (HoA) from CSN.

Authentication and Security Architecture implements 802.16e security with IETF EAP framework. AAA framework is used for service flow authorization, mobility management and policy control. AAA framework is based on pull model in which supplicant sends a request to ASN and ASN forwards it to AAA server. The AAA return with appropriate response to ASN which set up the service and inform the MS. The elements are depicted in Figure 5.

User and device authentication is supported with PKMv2 and EAP. PKMv2 is between MS and BS and BS relays this EAP messages to ASN-GW where AAA client encapsulates the EAP and forwards to AAA server in the CSN over RADIUS. EAP-AKA, EAP-TLS, EAP-SIM, EAP-PSK, EAP-TTLS are the supported EAP types. Both user and device authentication is performed with double-EAP and device credentials are in the form of digital certificate, secret key, or X.509 certificate.

Quality of Service Architecture in WiMAX complements the QoS framework in IEEE 802.16e-2005 QoS model. The QoS provides rich set of variety: per user and per service flow basis differentiated levels; admission control; bandwidth optimization. QoS provides static and dynamic service flow creation. For each service there is provisioned, admitted, and active states. When flow is in active state it starts getting the service. Entities are Policy function and AAA server residing in CSN, Service flow management residing in BS, and Service flow authorization residing in ASN-GW. QoS functional architecture is depicted in Figure 6.

Mobility Management implements mobility with the ASN and across the ASNs as seen in Figure 7. ASN-anchored mobility is when MS moves within the same Foreign Agent domain residing in ASN-GW. Control signals use R6 and R8 reference points and data path shift happens in ASN-GW with new R6 to target BS when handover is complete. CSN-anchored mobility additional to ASN-anchored mobility triggers the FA change through Home Agent. Now, R3 and R4 reference points also become active.

Radio Resource Management is responsible to fully utilize the network by information gathering and implementing decisions. The information such as radio-related measurements; base station spare capacity reports are concentrated to assist handover decision and load balancing decisions.

Paging and Idle Mode Operation is responsible to maintain a track and alert for MS when it is in idle mode for battery power saving reasons. Paging is executed to alert MS when there is an incoming message. Figure 8 illustrates the paging operation along with paging and idle mode elements in the system. MS is tracked when it is in the idle mode and information is stored to a location register (LR). Granularity of track is bigger than cell size since a paging group (PG) is composed of multiple cell and when a MS moves across paging groups, location update occurs via R6 and/or R4. Paging Controller (PG) in ASN-GW retrieves the location from LR and alerts the paging agent in (PA) in BS to signal to MS.

Base Station

The BS implements IEEE 802.16e interface to the MS and defined by one sector with one frequency. The air link scheduler resides in BS for uplink and downlink resource allocation, traffic classification, and service flow management as seen in Figure 6. BS provides the tunneling to ASN-GW and relaying functionality for services like authentication, reception and delivery of traffic encryption key and key encryption key. Base station has the local control of the network and gets assistance from ASN-GW for some features and implements the decision of the gateway for others.

ASN Gateway

ASN Gateway (ASN-GW) is placed at the edge of ASN and it's the link to the CSN. ASN-GW assists mobility and security in the control plane and handles the IP forwarding. The Figure 9 gives an overview of the feature set together with which reference points (Ri) ASN-GW uses to communicate with other entities in ASN and CSN.

ASN control is handled by ASN-GW and BS. ASN-GW Control plane handles all the radio-independent control and feature set includes authorization, authentication, and accounting (AAA), context management, profile management, service flow authorization, paging, radio resource management, and handover. Data plane feature set includes mapping radio bearer to the IP network, packet inspection, tunneling, admission control, policing, QoS and data forwarding.

ASN-GW has the authenticator and key distributor to implement AAA framework along with AAA relay in order to transmit signals to AAA server wherein the user credentials during network re/entry are verified with EAP authentication. Security context is created during AAA session and keys (MSK and PSK) are generated and shared with BS and MS. AAA module in the ASN-GW provides also flow information for accounting since every single detail about a flow such as transferred or received number of bits, duration, and applied policy is present and directly retrievable from the data plane.

ASN-GW is responsible for profile management together with policy function residing in the connectivity network. Profile management identifies the user and its subscribed credentials such as allowed QoS rate, number of flows, type of flows, etc.

Along with profile management, ASN-GW maintains context per mobile subscriber as well as per BS with higher granularity. Context of each subscriber keeps its profile, security context and characteristic of mobile device. This context is retrieved and exchanged between serving BS and target BS during handover and it moves as mobile subscriber moves to another ASN-GW.

ASN-GW is responsible to authorize service flows according to the subscriber's profile. Admitted service flows and active service flows can change over time and ASN-GW is responsible to provide admission control for downlink traffic. ASN-GW creates a GRE tunnel per service flow and encapsulates downlink traffic along with IPSec.

During handover, ASN-GW is responsible to provide context to base stations and when requested it changes the data path. In order to minimize the latency and packet loss, ASN-GW implements data integrity either by implementing bi/multi-casting and/or buffering. At the same time, foreign module is responsible to maintain the IP connectivity if mobile subscriber performs inter-ASN handover. ASN GW shall support either Proxy-Mobile IP (PMIP) or Client-Mobile IP (CMIP) in order to communicate to Home Agent.

ASN-GW has the location information provides paging service as well. Paging service tracks subscriber when it is operating in the idle mode. Paging signal is broadcasted when downlink traffic is received. During active operation also location information is updated as mobile subscriber moves to new BS.

The next generation network is a convergence of different technologies. Inter technology mobility is a must and it is being designed in WiMAX, 3GPP, 3GPP2, DSL, and WiFi. Interworking of these technologies increase the importance of ASN-GW since for instance in WiMAX connectivity to 3GPP, 3GPP2, DSL and WiFi are provided via ASN-GW. Interworking may provide common billing and seamless inter-technology handover.
