1 OpenScape Fault V8 Monitor the operating condition of your communications network at a glance. Immediately process any system and error messages that occur and helps to remedy errors quickly. No company is able to operate competitively with restricted internal and external communication. Even minor faults in a company s communication network can seriously affect its business. It is essential, therefore, to monitor the operating status of this communication technology on a permanent basis, to follow up the slightest signs of trouble, and to initiate remedial action immediately. OpenScape Fault dramatically reduces your workload. The OpenScape Suite comfortably and efficiently supports the many management tasks in a voice and data network. OpenScape applications As data and voice networks converge and complexity increases, uniform and simple administration is becoming particularly important. OpenScape applications are essential architectural building blocks that meet this need. Fault Fault increases the availability and operational reliability of the communication systems and network components, and offers a multitude of functions that economically safeguard operation. Existing HiPath FM systems can be upgraded at a reasonable cost and other network components can be integrated in the monitoring concept. OpenScape Fault is the only network monitoring product that supports the HiPath product family, OpenScape Voice, and any hardware and software products from other vendors. User User supports the administration of communication resources and ensures data consistency. An object-oriented and modular structure, access via a web browser, and standard interfaces make it possible to deal with transactions quickly from OpenScape Suite Fault User Accounting Performance Deployment Service Provisioning and Configuration User Resources Open SOA Services Access Control and Alarms OpenScape Common Platform North/South Interfaces Fault User Accounting Graphical multi-level topology view Monitoring of all network elements Auto discovery Integration of any IP device User provisioning via corporate directory Template-based creation for users (ONS, Voice Mail, etc.) Single Sign-On Cost accounting and billing Asset accounting and billing Operational accounting and billing Traffic measurements Performance Central administration of QoS parameters Monitoring QoS Data analysis on E2E basis Bottleneck analysis Alarming based on SLA Deployment Service Configuration management Plug&Play device management Certificate distribution (TLS deploy) Inventory management Unified solution for automation, transparency, and control
2 any location. It means response times are fast, administration costs are lower, and tasks are performed quickly and, most importantly, error-free. Accounting Accounting determines and calculates the communication costs on the basis of call data from the different communication systems in the network and assigns them to their originators. Traditional voice and voice over IP connections are handled alike. In addition, OpenScape Accounting offers statistics for monitoring communications traffic. This makes corporate communications transparent in terms of traffic load and costs. Performance Performance is a management application that provides comprehensive functions to administer and monitor all VoIP components for QoS in a voice and data network. The application is used to monitor all communication systems and network components that are integrated in real-time communication (voice, fax, video) and use the voice and data network. Performance provides extensive evaluation options for QoS parameters (Quality of Service) in IPbased telephony networks. Based on the QoS data sent from various end points, reports can be drawn up that provide information on voice quality in the IP network. In addition, Service Level Agreements (SLA) can be monitored with the aid of configurable SLA criteria. Fault OpenScape Fault ideally supports the primary need for faulttolerant communication. The operating states of the individual elements of the communication and data network are permanently recorded and clearly displayed. The modular concept ensures that applications and features are appropriately combined for every configuration of the voice and data network and thereby protects communication infrastructure investments on a longterm basis. OpenScape Fault signals the first signs of a fault in a clear graphical network reflection with the priority and location of the error. It provides much additional information that helps clear the trouble without delay. And it will do this long before network users even notice any effects. OpenScape Fault also enables the communication resources to be monitored without extensive expert knowledge through a simple graphical user interface and comprehensive support functions. OpenScape Fault is programmed in Java, which means it can be used on almost all common operating systems and computer platforms. Users are offered mobility through Internet access via a web browser. OpenScape Fault will therefore make a major contribution toward ensuring your communication network's reliable operation and your company's continuing competitiveness. OpenScape Fault can be integrated into higher-level management systems (e.g. HP OpenView, IBM Netcool) and Trouble Ticket Systems (e.g. Remedy ARS, OS Service Workbench) via optional gateways. OpenScape Fault monitors voice and data management via lines, LAN and wireless, even in different domains. The status of systems, networks and critical operating equipment can be viewed quickly on a graphical display. OpenScape Fault finds and integrates any elements of the IP network with the Auto Discovery function and the adjustable filter. OpenScape Fault performs intelligent preanalyses of events, automatically responds to SNMP traps and provides time-controlled reports on events and system parameters. OpenScape Fault permits the monitoring of branch offices in a distributed configuration. Performance The Performance plug-in extends OpenScape Fault. Data that are relevant for VoIP performance and quality are collected and evaluated online. If the VoIP performance in the network degrades, Performance generates alarms and events. In addition, the Performance plug-in provides reporting of performance and QoS data, and detailed E2E consideration of calls. Deployment Service As a central component, Deployment Service manages devices, QoS parameters and the software distribution of IP devices. Because the Deployment Service is integrated in the customer network, the entire IP device structure can be inventoried and administrated.

3 System functions Client-server architecture The server administers all the information as well as the logged-on clients. It monitors accessing of the Managed Objects. The client presents the information administered in the server in graphical form. Client access The OpenScape Fault client can be accessed either as a Java standalone application or with a web browser. This means the application can be operated from virtually anywhere. Single point of access This makes it possible to access other applications of the individual element managers in order, for instance, to make changes to the communication systems' configuration. Platform independent Based on Java, the software of the OpenScape Fault allows it to be operated on a variety of hardware and operating system platforms. System administration Managed objects After automatic identification of the network elements in a network domain, it is possible to select which of the elements should be monitored by OpenScape Fault. The network elements to be monitored by OpenScape Fault are administered by selected attributes as Managed Objects in the server. Administration encompasses not only the different network nodes but also the connections between them. User/Resource link User access to the information stored in the server is log-in and password protected. Graphical user administration allows users to be conveniently set up, modified, and deleted. Administering access rights Users can each be assigned individual access rights or a customizable user group, depending on the specific work they perform. For further simplification, six user profiles are predefined with fixed permissions. Topology management Autodiscovery The topology of a network is automatically recognized by OpenScape Fault and arranged in a hierarchical tree structure. If new data are available due to "Discoveries", these are automatically imported and the topology adjusted accordingly. Adjustable filters define the object groups, network segments, or IP address ranges to be discovered. MIB integration The optimum support of various network components by OpenScape Fault is ensured by different plug-ins. Standard IP elements are integrated by the "IP Manager" preferably based on SNMP MIB II, servers and applications through "Host Resources". Extensive functions are available for HiPath/OpenScape products based on their specific MIB. All MIBs exceeding the standard, HiPath MIB and SharedService MIB can be described in Enterprise MIB Definition Files (EMDF) and individually activated in the "Enterprise MIB" plug-in.

4 Even hard disk space, CPU-load, etc., of the network components without or with only insufficient own MIB can be monitored via System in the OpenScape Fault. Topology viewer The network topology in your hierarchical structure is presented both in the form of maps and submaps as well as in the form of a navigation tree by the topology viewer. Each node, in other words each object, is displayed in the submaps in the form of a symbol. The logical connections between the objects and interworking points to external systems are also shown with details of the number of physical connections. The topology viewer allows the symbols to be placed anywhere in the submaps and background images to be selected. Map/submap administration A map is a collection of submaps showing the hierarchical structure of an administered object such as a network. Several maps with a large number of submaps can exist simultaneously. Various views can be generated with the aid of a network of submaps. A map defines the appearance of all the views (submaps) contained here. Personal submaps Beyond the automatically generated maps and submaps, it is also possible to set up individual submap hierarchies and tree structures. A representation optimized to the respective task of the network topology is therefore guaranteed. Symbol administration Each object type is identified by a unique symbol. As a result, it is possible to differentiate quickly in the network representation e.g., between networks and subnetworks, between network nodes such as systems and routers, between applications, 3 th part systems, and logical connections and lines. The appearance of these symbols can, of course, be individually adapted. Layer 2 Manager Plug-in In-depth knowledge of the physical network topology is essential to achieve rapid fault analysis and troubleshooting. The Layer 2 Manager Plug-in is used to expand the Layer 3-structure of networks which is determined and displayed by the IP manager by an additional view from the perspective of the network access layer (OSI layer 1-2). Context-sensitive pop-up menu Clicking on a symbol or a submap causes context-sensitive pop-up menus to be offered whose contents are produced individually through the respective object, the respective submap or also through the access permissions of the user. Zoom selection The representation of the symbols/ networks is automatically optimally matched to the relevant window size. By employing the zoom function, users can also adjust the representation in large areas to suit individual requirements. Navigation tree and topology viewer Cooperative working Any changes a user makes to a submap setting are immediately visible to all other logged-on users. Mobile client The Mobile client provides access to vital management information within the OpenScape Fault. It allows access to events and browsing to IP nodes of OpenScape Fault. It supports Apple ios phones. VMware Monitoring The VMware Monitoring is part of the system management and appears as a VMware Performance monitor. The VMware Performance monitor is based on the open-source VMware Virtual Infrastructure (vsphere) Java as interface for communication with the vcenter server. In particular, the monitoring solution addresses the following aspects: Brief overview of the vcenter inventory Status of the host system Status of the virtual machine
5 Alarm management Status display The relevant status of the network elements can be finely signaled by the color of the symbol. Up to six different states can be displayed for each object. The status of an object can be transferred to the maps above it so that it is then also possible to immediately react to high-priority alarm messages. This is possible even if the impaired object is not directly indicated as such in the topology, but by the network symbol. Summation status indication With the aid of the overall status display of a network symbol, it is possible to tell how many subsystems within this network have the relevant alarm status. Threshold monitoring Exceeding definable thresholds while collecting MIB values results in internal events. In this way, exceeding of CPU load or up-times, for example, can be reported. Application monitoring OpenScape Fault can also monitor the operation of applications on servers and workstations in the network. Mobile alarm reaction Predefined actions are automatically carried out when specific alarms are received. Even different time zones can be taken into account. The following actions are available: Send SMS Send notification Start any program on the OpenScape Fault server. Fault management Event logging Important system, fault, and alarm messages, and other events from the network, are recorded and stored as an event log even when the user is not logged on. Event Correlation Engine The Event Correlation Engine examines the relationships between all events and groups sets of events into a new, explicit event. The rules for the event correlation can be created graphically and permit the definition of automatic responses, e.g. for troubleshooting. Event browser Logged events are clearly displayed by the event browser, with their level of urgency indicated. Further information about the object which registered the event can be requested via the pop-up menu. Filtering according to event type or urgency provides additional clarity. Distributed fault management The OSc FM-2-OSc FM gateway makes it possible to build a hierarchical, distributed FM Manager configuration. Different slave FM systems, for example systems that are located in the separate branch offices of a customer, can be connected via the OSc FM-2-OSc FM gateway to a central Master-FM Manager. Service Workbench Service Workbench is an efficient, powerful service process management solution for OpenScape Fault. Events can automatically be transferred in tickets of the Service Workbench. In cooperation with the ECE, it is possible to define ticket-specific workflows that can also access the automation functions offered by the ECE. Event Gateway Event Gateway is an efficient and simple tool for connecting OpenScape Fault with Umbrella Systems and Service Tools. Trap Forwarder Different structured event types are automatically converted into an SNMP trap format and are forwarded to one or more management systems. ARS Ticket Creator Via the ARS Ticket Creator module, the Event Gateway integrates the OpenScape Fault in the Workflow Automation Tool Remedy Action Request System. The Action Request Ticket Creator combines fault and service/process management through the specific automatic creation of Action Request System Tickets from events. Event Browser
6 System System makes it possible to specifically monitor critical operating facilities such as applications, systems and system resources. System is designed as an open platform into which customerspecific monitoring functions can be integrated as well. Control Center The Control Center provides a clear representation of the overall status of a customer network, or illustrates the customer configuration at a glance in the form of charts and dynamic object lists. Online Data Export The Online Data Export Module (ODEM) can be used to export specific data of the OpenScape Fault to an external database where it can be further processed for customerspecific analyses.

SUZY MILLER M.Ed., THE VISIONARY CREATOR Visionary speaker, author, telepathic communicator, multidimensional seer and founder of the groundbreaking Awesomism Practitioner Process, Suzy Miller is a former Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist, with a Masters in Education, and a Certificate of Clinical Competence. She pioneered a shift in the perception of autism from an individual "disorder" to a collective revolution in human consciousness and has been playing in the field of leading edge consciousness ever since.
Throughout her long career, Suzy has collaborated as effectively with psychologists, social workers, mainstream educators and medical professionals as she has with leading edge scientists, metaphysicians, healers and new thought leaders. Her experience and expression of consciousness is effortlessly applied in the appropriate "dose" to anyone seeking her insights.
Suzy collaborated with Dr. William Tiller, Professor Emeritus Stanford University, and featured physicist in the movie What The Bleep spearheading The Autism Intention Healing Experiment, which to this day provides an ongoing coherent intention to support the integration of children diagnosed with autism.
The Awesomism Practitioner Process, educates parents and professionals around the world regarding their own mastery as well as the spiritual gifts of our newest populations, demonstrating directly how increased consciousness is what is needed to support the integration of this population. Suzy has personally facilitated the growth and mastery of over a hundred practitioners located in at least 15 different countries. She has now turned this process over to facilitator Terri Henderson while she continues to explore the furthest reaches of consciousness and how it can be applied not only to our newest populations but to all aspects of the human condition.
Suzy is a life long student of consciousness itself and currently offers her awareness, experiences and support through private sessions, workshops, articles, and live events! From awareness to mastery to avatar, Suzy is interested in supporting the integration of the broadest scope of your being with the most natural aspects of your humanity. You can reach Suzy at email@example.com.
SHARON HALL, ADMINISTRATOR She brings a consistent ability to organize, coordinate as well as add flow and efficiency to the Awesomism Team. Sharon had left her career as an executive assistant to spend time home schooling and raising her 3 boys after all flow and stability fell apart there. She found Suzy and became an Awesomism Practitioner Process. By combining her natural abilities with those skills she has gained through the certification process, Sharon is now able to create flow and enjoyment within her own life and family as well as for the Awesomism Team. Contact Sharon at email@example.com
MEREDITH W. GROSS, CONTENT CO-CREATOR, AWESOMISM LEVEL THREE CO-FACILITATOR As a pioneering participant in each Awesomism Practitioner process, Meredith strongly resonates with Suzy's multi-dimensional perspective on integrating mastery into form. Meredith is especially driven to apply these higher level vantage points to practical, daily life. She has a talent for facilitating connections that build a bridge across different levels of experience. Meredith joyfully contributes her master's degree in business, passion for human evolution, and love of creative expression to the Awesomism team. When not playing here, she walks life's magical pathway alongside her loving husband, amazing young adult children, and dog Momo. Contact Meredith at firstname.lastname@example.com
KARILYN GOMEZ, AWESOMISM LEVEL THREE CO-FACILITATOR Karilyn's path to Awesomism began with its forerunner, The New Human Experience Project in 2010. Each step in the Awesomism process has brought deeper self awareness allowing her the experience of connecting with the broader aspects of her self through a multidimensional perspective combining body, mind and spirit. Karilyn delighted in the opportunity to usher in a second generation of Awesomism facilitators teaching Level 1 in the Practitoners Process for several cycles. It is now her great pleasure to step into the role of co-facilitator for Level Three. Karilyn brings both lightness and depth to interactions, providing a grounded nurturing space for others to explore their own knowing. Her Bachelors Degree in Early Childhood Education was based in her love of energy, wonder and pure delight of this population. Training with Donna Eden in Energy Medicine added to the richness and appreciation of the human experience, all interfacing seamlessly with Awesomism. Contact Karilyn at email@example.com
TERRI HENDERSON, AWESOMISM LEVEL ONE AND TWO FACILITATOR Early in 2012 Terri found Awesomism and the love affair began. Through the Awesomism Practitioner Process, she developed a clear connection with the children, herself and humanity, discovering a benevolence and wisdom about humanness that greatly exceeded her prior conception. Terri also developed fluid use of the powerful partnership between Intention and Attention, that supports her in interacting harmoniously with all aspects of her life. Early in 2015 Terri was certified as a Level 3 Awesomism Practitioner and was invited to be a member of the Awesomism Core Team. Terri's expanded role within Awesomism lead to her facilitating the Level 2 Practitioner Course beginning February 2016. Terri will also be facilitating the Level 1 Practitioner Course for the April 2016 cycle. Facilitating Awesomism courses is the cornerstone for continued expansion of Terri's abilities and awareness, both in connecting with the consciousness of the kids and the human collective, as well as her ability to support individual Practitioners on their own journey of expansion. Contact Terri at firstname.lastname@example.com
DUVI ALBANO, SPANISH AWESOMISM CO-FACILITATOR Duvi lives in Southern California and spends time each year in her home town near the Catalan Pyrenees. After two years as a primary school teacher in the Catalonia region, Duvi came to California in 1999 to support the Ontario-Montclair School District as a bilingual teacher for six years. Duvi realized her passion for homeschooling while researching alternative education options for her son. She is currently working as an Educational Facilitator, helping families find their unique path in their homeschool journey.
Duvi came to Suzy's process at a crucial time in her life. She had run out of excuses regarding her son's "behaviors". Before she could begin the process of her son's diagnosis, Suzy's book "Awesomism: A New Way to Understand the Diagnosis of Autism" fell into her lap. Her heart burst with excitement as she began applying the simple, yet extremely powerful concepts. Duvi immediately realized "changes", not only in her son Nicolas, but in herself! This expansion continues, day by day, moment by moment.
Duvi began Awesomism Practitioner Process in 2014 and is currently participating as Core level practitioner. She is fascinated by the multifaceted and multidimensional support that the Awesomism community provides in realizing a deeper connection with herself and others. Duvi's passion about making the Awesomism processes available to the Spanish speaking community began through translation of Suzy's book and other Awesomism materials. She is excited to take the next step in this journey as an Awesomism Facilitator beginning in 2017. She completed her teaching diploma at the University of Barcelona.

The Inspector General of Taxation has called for legislation to protect taxpayers from retrospective tax bills that are imposed when the Australian Taxation Office changes its mind on how the tax law should operate.
A report has found that complaints accusing the ATO of reversing existing practice in up to 60 cases areas were "justified" and the problem had been exacerbated by ATO delays in declaring how the rules operated.
However, the report released by Assistant Treasurer
"Where the ATO is perceived to be changing or clarifying its existing views with retrospective effect, taxpayers can incur significant costs," Inspector General of Taxation Ali Noroozi said yesterday.
"In some quarters, this has resulted in substantial erosion of confidence in the ATO as a fair administrator and driven a reluctance to work with the ATO on technical issues."
The report by the Inspector General was commissioned by Senator Sherry in response to complaints from business and tax advisers about ATO "U-turns" in administrative practice and interpretation of the law.
Business claimed the ATO has changed its view on issues including trusts, international transfer pricing, corporate debt financing, offshore banking, research and development, copyright payments, the petroleum resource rent tax and trading stock.
The ATO responded to Mr Noroozi's report by arguing that some taxpayers had relied on mere opinions in discussion papers, which were not the ATO's final views.
"In our view, the examples do not provide evidence of so-called U-turns, where the ATO has applied a change of view retrospectively," the ATO's chief tax counsel Kevin Fitzpatrick said.
"These papers are clearly not final views but are issued to facilitate consultation before the ATO forms its view."
Unless a taxpayer has received binding advice, the law now allows the ATO to apply its views retrospectively and hit taxpayers with large tax bills.
"The main problem is not one ATO binding advice clearly changing another, but rather a disagreement over whether a previous view or practice existed, and if it did exist whether the subsequent ATO view constituted a change," Mr Noroozi said.
"The situation is further compounded by ATO delays in, firstly, identifying its compliance concerns and, secondly, finalising its position in relation to those concerns."
Five recommendations were made in the report. The first asks the government to consider whether existing laws provide enough transparency and certainty for taxpayers when the ATO backdates new, changed or clarified views.
Senator Sherry said the government agreed that transparency, clarity and certainty were critical principles in tax administration.
"As such, it's important we consider this recommendation in the context of the overall response to the independent tax review, which is what we will do," he said. The remaining recommendations include that the ATO improve internal processes for deciding whether to apply new views retrospectively; talk to business while it develops technical views; identify compliance problems faster and reduce the time taken finalise its position.
"The Tax Office has informed me that it will be developing, in close collaboration with the taxpayer community, its administrative practice concerning the circumstances in which it seeks to apply its views retrospectively by incorporating specified process steps and criteria set out in the IGT [Inspector General of Taxation] report," Senator Sherry said.
"It has also indicated that it will improve its pro-activity in seeking to identifying areas of uncertainty through improved engagement with taxpayers and their representatives.
"These are all very positive steps."
The ATO's Mr Fitzpatrick said the Tax Office was in "general agreement" with the recommendations on improving its processes, but the proposed legislative change was a matter for government.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia's tax counsel Yasser El-Ansary said the profession accepted that occasionally the ATO needed to adopt a new interpretation of the law.
"But what has constantly been in dispute over recent years is whether the commissioner can apply a new interpretation on a retrospective basis," he said.
"The IGT has unequivocally found that the current safeguards for taxpayers around how the ATO can apply a new view of the law need to be strengthened, preferably via legislation.
"Until we see this sort of legislative protection implemented, large and small taxpayers may continue to feel nervous about their positions in some contentious areas of the tax law."
Taxation Institute of Australia president David Williams said the report justified the body's long-held concern that on numerous occasions, the Tax Office was seen to have changed its views and performed U-turns on significant issues to the detriment of taxpayers who had relied on the previously-held view.
"As the Taxation Institute has long argued, it is of the highest concern that the Tax Office is perceived to perform U-turns on important matters of tax law," he said.
"These U-turns create uncertainty and additional costs and are impediments to normal business operations and to people getting on with their lives.
"We welcome the Tax Office broadly agreeing to each of the recommendations, but call on them to implement these as a matter of urgency.
"We hope the Inspector-General's recommendations will ensure no ATO retrospective U-turns in the future."
In December, the ATO noted that much of the concern about U-turns arose from perceptions that it had accepted a particular approach when, in fact, it hadn't.

Washington (XNA) Jul 11, 2011
Space shuttle Atlantis will soar into the sky Friday on NASA's 135th and final flight. Its scheduled return to Earth later this month will mark the end of NASA's 30-year space program.
Since its onset with the launch of space shuttle Columbia, the program has been seen as a cheap, safe and reliable way for space exploration.
Despite its great contributions to U.S. manned space flight, it has also left some grave and tragic lessons, making its termination inevitable.
Soaring Costs
In 1981, shuttle Columbia made its first shuttle flight for two days. It was the ultimate hybrid and the first reusable spacecraft.
Launched like a rocket and gliding back to Earth like an airplane, space shuttles not only can act as a space taxi to carry astronauts, but have the muscle of a long-distance trucker to haul heavy machinery.
The spaceship boasts more than 3,500 subsystems and 2.5 million parts and is nine times faster than a speeding bullet as it climbs heavenward. That versatility, however, has translated into higher costs.
NASA originally estimated the program would cost about 90 billion U.S. dollars. However, its actual cost stands at about 200 billion dollars, compared with the 151 billion dollars spent on Apollo which took Americans to the moon in 1969.
In an article in Technology Review, John Logsdon, former head of the Space Policy Institute at George Washington University, drew a direct connection between the ravenous shuttle budget and the lack of other large advances in manned space flight.
"By operating the system for 30 years, with its high costs and high risk, rather than replacing it with a less expensive, less risky second-generation system, NASA compounded the original mistake of developing the most ambitious version of the vehicle," he wrote.
"The shuttle's cost has been an obstacle to NASA starting other major projects," he added.
High Risk
On average, one out of every 67 flights ended up with fatal accidents. Based on the rate of deaths per million miles traveled, the space shuttle is 138 times riskier than a passenger jet.
Seven astronauts onboard died when Challenger exploded about a minute after launch in 1986. Nearly two decades after the tragic blast, a new catastrophe descended when the shuttle Columbia disintegrated moments before landing in 2003, killing another seven spacemen.
Again, the shuttle program was shelved for more than two years as NASA stepped up efforts to make it safer. But experts say the fundamental problem related to shuttles' safety cannot be solved due to their "birth defects."
"It is in the nation's interest to replace the Shuttle as soon as possible," concluded the panel that investigated the 2003 Columbia accident.
Policy Shift
President Barack Obama, however, unrolled a fresh project to build a giant rocket to send astronauts to an asteroid, and eventually to the Mars, while transferring to private companies the job of carrying cargo and astronauts to space stations.
During his first-ever Twitter town hall meeting on Wednesday, Obama said NASA needs new technological breakthroughs to revitalize its mission to explore the universe.
Admitting the shuttles' "extraordinary work in low-orbit experiments, the International Space Station," Obama said: "But now what we need is that next technological breakthrough."
He said that the United States should move beyond the space travel models it used in the 1960s for the Apollo program.
"Rather than keep on doing the same thing, let's invest in basic research around new technologies that can get us to places faster, allow human space flight to last longer," Obama said.

Halliburton's Troubles Continue
Oil services company sued over retirement fund.
DALLAS -- A participant in Halliburton Co.'s retirement plan sued the oil field-services company Wednesday claiming instances of improper accounting.
The lawsuit, filed in federal district court in Dallas, charged that the company altered its accounting policies in late 1998 to report hundreds of millions of dollars worth of revenues from disputed cost overruns on long-term construction projects.
Lawyers filing the lawsuit said the company should not have counted on getting the revenue. The lawsuit seeks damages equal to any losses the retirement plan might have suffered because of the slump in Halliburton shares, which have lost about three-fourths of their value in less than two years.
Halliburton and Vice President Dick Cheney, who led the company from 1995 until August 2000, were sued on similar grounds last week by Judicial Watch, a group which first drew attention by suing President Clinton.
Halliburton has denied wrongdoing.

"Apikorsim (Heretics)," the title track of the Klezmatics' new album, suggests that if you're going to embrace such unkosher pursuits as drinking to excess, eating pork, or forgoing circumcision, you might as well savor them to the max. Rabble-rousing rebels in their own right, the Klezmatics celebrate thirty years of joyously inventive klezmer with a concert that will draw from a rich, deep repertoire that embraces tradition, modernism, and the folk music of Woody Guthrie. From their 1988 debut, Shvaygn = Toyt (Silence = Death), the Klezmatics have also imbued their music with political awareness, suggesting that the struggle continues no matter how far you think you've come from the shtetl. History and culture, solidarity and rebellion — the Klezmatics embody all these things, and throw a great dance party to boot.

With the impact of the flu epidemic, the council issue a quarantine. To make matters worse, someone has lured Walkers to a specific point in the fence. Rick and the gang fight off the Walkers before the fence gives in.
Plot Summary
Carl asks for his gun back while he and his dad are in the garden,but Rick dodges the question. Suddenly, Glenn sounds the alarm to a walker attack in the prison. Patrick, who had died the night before had infected several other survivors. The walkers attack many of the survivors before they are taken down. Fearful that the illness might spread, they isolate Sasha and those like her who have the illness. A council meeting is called the leaders discover that the first walker in the prison had died from an illness. Fearful that the illness might spread, they isolate Karen and those like her who have the illness. Maggie screams for help at a fence as a pile of walkers begin pushing down the fence.
The group tries to push the walkers back, but it is an insurmountable task. As they push, Sasha finds rat carcasses, indicating that someone had lured the walkers there. Rick get an idea and comes back with a truck. Together with Daryl, they lead the walkers away by dropping a trail of pigs away from the prison. Afterward, Carl sees Rick burning the pig pen. He tells Rick that Carol has been teaching the children to use knives. Rick decides to allow Carol to continue teaching and he hands Carl his gun and holsters his own gun, knowing he can trust his son again. In the prison, Tyreese finds a trail of blood leading out Karen's room. He is then shocked to find Karen and another person's burnt corpse outside.

JOHN COR E LLI ATTORNEY J WAL CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTS This invention relates to the decorative illumination of Christmas trees and particularly to an improved construction for multi-element lighting sets adapted for mounting on Christmas trees or the like.
Conventional Christmas tree lighting sets usually include a plurality of threaded socket elements, each adapted to receive a threaded-base lamp element, mounted in spaced relation along a pair of elongate insulated conductors that terminate, at least at one end, in an attachment plug receptacle element for effecting interconnection to a source of electricity or to another string of lights. Such strings conventionally have the lamp elements arranged in either a series or parallel connection and thervoltage and current ranings of the lamp .elements employed are selected in accord therewith. The mounting of such strings of lights on Christmas trees is generally relatively burdensome in that it normally requires careful positioning of the elements thereof to avoid localized overloading, to facilitate interconnection of successive strings and to obtain a relatively uniform distribution of lights for esthetic purposes.
This invention may be briefly described as a novel and improved Christmas tree lighting assembly which, in its broad aspects, includes an elongate pair of conductors serving as a primary bus, a tubular mounting element disposed around a predetermined length of said primary bus located remote from the end thereof connectable to a power source and deformable into a preselected configuration and a plurality of discrete strings of miniature type lighting elements terminally connected across said bus within said mounting ring with each of saidstrings having a remotely locatable free end to facilitate progressively remote dispositions of each of the lighting elements thereon relative to said mounting element. In more narrow aspects, the subject invention preferably includes utilization of discrete strings formed of a plurality of series connected lighting elements desirably of the miniature or "midget type is readily and simply mounted on a Christmas tree and facilitates arrangement of individual lights in any deferred embodiment that incorporates the principles of the invention.
Referring to the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of the circuit arrangement and mounting ring assembly incorporating the principles of this invention;
FIG. 2a is a schematic representation similar to FIG. 1 but showing the mounting element disposed in telescopic engaged relation;
FIG. 2b is a schematic sectional view illustrating an alternative mounting element construction;
FIG. 3 is an oblique view showing the positioning of the mounting element and dependent strings of lighting elements on a Christmas tree;
FIG. 4 is a schematic exploded sectional view of the essentials of a preferred type of lighting element; and
FIG. 5 is a schematic representation of the essentials of a suitable circuit making and breaking element includable in the series connected strings of lighting eleis a connector element such as a conventional two-.
v prong plug 14 and an adjacently located switch element 16 which preferably also includes a protective fuse. Disposed adjacent the other end of the primary con ductors 10, 12 and remote from the plug 14 is an enlongate mounting element, generally designated 18. The mounting element 18 suitably comprises an elongate tube of flexible and deformable insulating material having the primary conductors 10, 12 disposed therewithin and provided with a longitudinal slit, as at 20, at the terminal end thereof so as to facilitate accommodation of the extending portion of the primary conductors 10, 12. When said tube is selectively deformed into a generally toroidal configuration with the terminal ends thereof telescopically engaged as shown at 22 in FIG. 2a.
Electrically connected to the portion of the primary conductors 10, 12 disposed within the mounting sleeve 18 arethe terminal ends of a plurality of discrete strings ably including pluralitiesof series connected miniature lighting elements 32.- Such strings 30 are preferably several feet in length and each possesses a remotely losired manner. Other advantages of the subject invention isthe permitted supplying of greatnumbers of lighting elements in a unitary and light weight structural arrangement that is readily mountable and permits of a multiplicity of esthetic effects and arrangements.
The primaryobject of this invention is the provision tion will be set forth in the following portion of this specification andtwill'become apparent from the accompanying drawings which illustrate, in accord with the mandate of the patent statutes, a presently prelighting elements included therein from catable free end 34 to facilitate the progressively remote disposition of each of the successively located said mounting elements.
in the subject construction as many as eightdiscrete strings 30 may be connected to a primary pair of conductors 10, 12 and with each such string incorporating at least ten individual lights 32 of the miniature or midget type, to thereby provide at least discrete lights 32 in one unitary assembly. As will be apparent to one skilled in this art, such an arrangement, will utilize 12 volt miniature lamps 32. Concomitantly if 6 volt ment a solid sleeve of deformable insulating material 40 is molded about the primary conductors 10, 12 and the connecting segments of the strings 30. Also included therein is a deformable wire 42 or the like which will permit manual deformation thereof to any desired shape or configuration and retention thereof until further deformed by externally applied forces.
FIG. 3 is illustrative of the utilization of the subject construction on a Christmas tree. As there illustrated the mounting element 18, if of the toroidal type shown in FIG. 2a, is slipped over the top of the tree and is supported in stem encircling relation with the bole 46 at a selected location down from the top by adjacent extending branches 48. As will be now apparent, the embodiment of FIG. 2b, although somewhat more expensive to fabricate, may suitably be configured by the user in accordance with the dictates of a particular tree and thus even further simplifies the mounting thereof. In either case, however, the length of the primary pair of conductors 12, 13 leading to the plug 14 is conveniently disposed in dependent relation adjacent to the hole 46 and said plug 14 and switch 16 are thus rendered readily accessible to provide their respective functions adjacent the tree base. With the mounting element so disposed, each of the radially extending strings 30 may be selectively located on the peripheral portion of the tree to readily provide a balanced decorative'effect in accord with the desires of the user thereof. Such essentially dependent orientation of the strings 30 permits positioning to be readily effected by mere disposition of the leads in the clefts of the branch ends and thus obviates the securement problem attendant present-day conventional constructions.
FIG. 4 schematically illustrates, in exploded relation, the essential nature of the presently preferred types of miniature lamp unit utilizable in the subject assembly and conventionally designatable as midget or minilamps. As illustrated, such lamps generally comprise a tubular envelope 50 surrounding a filament 52 and having a pair of extending leads 54, 56 extending from the base thereof. The base portion of the envelope 50 is adapted to be received by a holder 58 having a pair of apertures 60, 62 in the base thereof and a pair of diametrically disposed sloping flat surfaces 64, 66 respectively. When the envelope is disposed within the bore 68 of the holder 58, the leads 54 and 56 are adapted to pass through the apertures 60, 62 respectively and the extending ends thereof bent upwardly and disposed against the flat surfaces 64, 66 as generally indicated by the dotted lines 54a and 56a. respectively. The sub-assembly constituted by the envelope 50 and holder 58 as described above is adapted to be removably received within a socket member, generally designated 70. The socket member 70 includes an axial bore 72 of a configuration complemental to that of the external configuration of the holder 58 and sized to receive the same in a press fit relationship. Included within the bore 72 are a pair of electrode elements 74, 76 positioned to engage the upwardly bent portions 54a, 56a of the leads 54, 56 disposed adjacent the flat surfaces 64, 66 when said holder 58 and lamp envelope 50 are inserted in the bore 72. As shown, the electrode elements 74, 76 are selectively connected to leads 78, 80 respectively which, when assembled, in conjunction with common lead 82 from the conventional series type of lamp sub-assembly includable in the series connected strings 30.
FIG. 5 schematically illustrates the structured essentials of a circuit making and breaking lamp element includable in a series connected string 30. As shown, such lamp includes a filament having one end engageable with a thermally displaceable bimetallic element 92 and the other end to one lead element 94 extending through the envelope 96. The second lead 98 is connected to the filament 90 through the bimetallic element 92.'A s will be apparent the circuit will be repetitively made and broken as the bimetallic element flexes in response to temperature variations occasioned by current flow therethrough. Inclusion therefore of such a unit in a series connected string 30 will effectively result in the entire string going on and off in accord with the interruptions and resumptions of current flow through such unit.
As will now be apparent from the foregoing, the subject assembly fully satisfies the objects stated above, and comprises a simple, inexpensive and readily fabricated unitary structure that obviates most, if not all, of the problems heretofore encountered in the decorative illumination of Christmas trees.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. A christmas tree light assembly comprising an elongated primary pair of conductors having connector means disposed at one end thereof for connection of said primary pair across a source of electric voltage,
a tubular mounting element including end portions securable in telescopically engaged relation disposed around a predetermined length of said primary conductor pair disposed remote from said connector means and deformable into a preselected configuration, I
and a plurality of discrete strings of pluralities of series connected light elements terminally connected across said primary conductor pair within said mounting element,
each of said strings of series connected lighting elements being possessed of a remotely locatable free end to facilitate progressively remote disposition of each of said lighting elements thereon relative to said mounting element.
