TORONTO - Nortel* Networks Corporation (”Nortel”) [NYSE/TSX: NT] announced that on December 11, 2008 it received notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that Nortel has fallen below one of NYSE’s continued listing standards regarding price criteria for its common stock as a result of the company’s common shares having an average closing price of less than US$1.00 per share during the consecutive 30 trading days ended December 9, 2008. Under the NYSE’s rules, the company has six months from the date of the notice to bring its average common share price back above US$1.00. During the interim, Nortel’s common stock will remain listed on the NYSE, subject to compliance with other applicable NYSE continued listing requirements.

Nortel will notify the NYSE within the required ten business day period that it intends to cure the deficiency. If the average closing price does not sufficiently improve, Nortel may consider presenting a proposal to its shareholders for a consolidation of its outstanding common shares at its annual meeting planned for spring 2009.

Although they did have a three-day feast in celebration of a good harvest, and the local indians did participate, this "first Thanksgiving" was not a holiday, simply a gathering. There is little evidence that this feast of thanks led directly to our modern Thanksgiving Day holiday. Thanksgiving can, however, be traced back to 1863 when Pres. Lincoln became the first president to proclaim Thanksgiving Day. The holiday has been a fixture of late November ever since.

However, since most school children are taught that the first Thanksgiving was held in 1621 with the pilgrims and indians, let us take a closer look at just what took place leading up to that event, and then what happened in the centuries afterward that finally gave us our modern Thanksgiving.

The Pilgrims who sailed to this country aboard the Mayflower were originally members of the English Separatist Church (a Puritan sect). They had earlier fled their home in England and sailed to Holland (The Netherlands) to escape religious persecution. There, they enjoyed more religious tolerance, but they eventually became disenchanted with the Dutch way of life, thinking it ungodly. Seeking a better life, the Separatists negotiated with a London stock company to finance a pilgrimage to America. Most of those making the trip aboard the Mayflower were non-Separatists, but were hired to protect the company's interests. Only about one-third of the original colonists were Separatists.

The Pilgrims set ground at Plymouth Rock on December 11, 1620. Their first winter was devastating. At the beginning of the following fall, they had lost 46 of the original 102 who sailed on the Mayflower. But the harvest of 1621 was a bountiful one. And the remaining colonists decided to celebrate with a feast -- including 91 Indians who had helped the Pilgrims survive their first year. It is believed that the Pilgrims would not have made it through the year without the help of the natives. The feast was more of a traditional English harvest festival than a true "thanksgiving" observance. It lasted three days.

Governor William Bradford sent "four men fowling" after wild ducks and geese. It is not certain that wild turkey was part of their feast. However, it is certain that they had venison
. The term "turkey" was used by the Pilgrims to mean any sort of wild fowl.

Another modern staple at almost every Thanksgiving table is pumpkin pie
. But it is unlikely that the first feast included that treat. The supply of flour had been long diminished, so there was no bread
or pastries of any kind. However, they did eat boiled pumpkin
, and they produced a type of fried bread from their corn crop. There was also no milk, cider, potatoes, or butter. There was no domestic cattle for dairy products, and the newly-discovered potato was still considered by many Europeans to be poisonous. But the feast did include fish, berries, watercress, lobster, dried fruit, clams, venison, and plums.

This "thanksgiving" feast was not repeated the following year. Many years passed before the event was repeated. It wasn't until June of 1676 that another Day of thanksgiving was proclaimed. On June 20 of that year the governing council of Charlestown, Massachusetts, held a meeting to determine how best to express thanks for the good fortune that had seen their community securely established. By unanimous vote they instructed Edward Rawson, the clerk, to proclaim June 29 as a day of thanksgiving. It is notable that this thanksgiving celebration probably did not include the Indians, as the celebration was meant partly to be in recognition of the colonists' recent victory over the "heathen natives," (see the proclamation).

A hundred years later, in October of 1777 all 13 colonies joined in a thanksgiving celebration. It also commemorated the patriotic victory over the British at Saratoga. But it was a one-time affair.

George Washington proclaimed a National Day of Thanksgiving in 1789, although some were opposed to it. There was discord among the colonies, many feeling the hardships of a few pilgrims did not warrant a national holiday. And later, President Thomas Jefferson opposed the idea of having a day of thanksgiving.

It was Sarah Josepha Hale, a magazine editor, whose efforts eventually led to what we recognize as Thanksgiving. Hale wrote many editorials championing her cause in her Boston Ladies' Magazine, and later, in Godey's Lady's Book. Finally, after a 40-year campaign of writing editorials and letters to governors and presidents, Hale's obsession became a reality when, in 1863, President Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November as a national day of Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving was proclaimed by every president after Lincoln. The date was changed a couple of times, most recently by Franklin Roosevelt, who set it up one week to the next-to-last Thursday in order to create a longer Christmas shopping
season. Public uproar against this decision caused the president to move Thanksgiving back to its original date two years later. And in 1941, Thanksgiving was finally sanctioned by Congress as a legal holiday, as the fourth Thursday in November. ]]> Chas2002 http://www.pbxinfo.com/blog.php?b=35 Midel SX-50 lock http://www.pbxinfo.com/blog.php?b=34 Sat, 15 Nov 2008 06:30:05 GMT I have a Midel sx-50 and one fo the rooms is showing lock -can't recieve calls or place them.

]]> Chas2002 http://www.pbxinfo.com/blog.php?b=26 Look Away but Look Towards the Future of Nortel http://www.pbxinfo.com/blog.php?b=25 Fri, 24 Oct 2008 09:32:26 GMT {"pipe_id":"e3d048aa685761be12217b00a34eecbb","_btype":"list","width":"400","height":"200"}]]> It’s certainly hard to pull your eyes from the streaming charts of your Nortel stock but I’m suggesting you do exactly that.

The future of Nortel is bright and hyperconnected. Perhaps most important of all, Nortel appears to be working hard to stay solvent (even willing to consider bids for one it’s top performing sectors, MEN, to improve the balance sheet).

The consensus in blogs and articles on the net is that Nortel is comprised of too many technology sectors without having a sense of the technologies longevity. This point is made by many bloggers and, I’m sure most familiar with Nortel, would agree. Don’t forget, however, that Nortel has gained a lot of experience from the internal convergence of voice and data platforms and this experience will not show up in your streaming charts for months or years to come.

Case in point is the e-Government series of recent news releases on Nortel’s site. In the month of October, 2008, Nortel has published some 18 news releases highlighting large deals for banks, hospitals and governments worldwide. Visit: http://www2.nortel.com/go/news_index.jsp.

One can sense that Nortel’s Unified Communications technology is poised to be a significant market player in hyperconnected communications; allowing businesses (and entire governments) to break though the barriers of cross-platform communications while employing cost effective, full voice and data solutions utilizing Nortel’s most precious resources; a century of experience and 4G wireless.

It’s also important to point out that Nortel offers these solutions while mitigating single points of failure (a common concern when equipment falls under one provider) and does so in a highly competitive market. In my opinion, I’m glad to see Nortel shift its immediate visions away from the iron-metal systems of yesteryear and respond to the emerging markets, after all isn’t that what good companies do.
