1. Field of the invention
The present invention concerns a dynamic management system architecture for a set of equipments interconnected by a telecommunication network and working together in variable configurations matched to the requirements of network users. The invention applies to a tactical telecommunication network using microwave links, for example.
2. Description of the prior art
A tactical network of this kind (see FIG. 1) comprises a set of nodal stations CN located at the nodes of the network and each comprising a switching unit or switch CT connected to a plurality of equipments ET which in this example are microwave link equipments connected in turn either to network users AB or to other equipments ET at other nodal stations of the network to constitute a meshed network.
Microwave links are advantageously used in a tactical network because they enable the network to be reconfigured when under attack simply by moving one or more of its nodal stations in response to such attack.
Matching a tactical telecommunication network to the requirements of users which, in military applications, include resistance to attack, requires management data to be exchanged between the various network components and in particular between a network command center (CC), or more generally a network management center, and the equipments constituting the network whose operation and movements must be monitored by the network command center.
Management data is usually exchanged in both directions, namely from the managed equipments to the command center and from the command center to the managed equipments. This data is usually called remote supervisory or alarm data in the former case and telecontrol data in the latter case. In all cases it concerns operating parameters of the managed equipments such as frequency, power output, bit rate, etc.
It is known to transmit management data using a management support telecommunication network which is so called to distinguish it from the traffic network with which this description has been concerned until now and over which traffic data is transmitted. The management support network and the traffic network may be one and the same, in which case the management network behaves like a particular group of network users. In the case of fixed infrastructure traffic networks it is also known to use a management support network separate from the traffic network to prevent blocking situations should the traffic network fail. It is also known to transmit management data over service channels set up in parallel with traffic channels. In the case of a microwave link network, for example, this parallelism can be achieved by multiplexing within the microwave frame.
In all these various cases the management data is thus usually transmitted in a point-to-point manner between the managed equipments and the management center.
The major drawback of these methods is that they do not guarantee sufficient transmission security for management data, in particular if the traffic network is under attack, or during network reconfiguration maneuvers.
An object of the present invention is to provide a management system architecture which is able to avoid this drawback.
The present invention consists in a dynamic management system for a set of traffic data transmission equipments connected by a traffic telecommunication network and operating together in variable configurations matched to the requirements of network users, said system comprising a management support telecommunication network the nodes of which are constituted by management data switching and access equipments associated with respective traffic data transmission equipments and assembled into a meshed network which is topologically independent of the traffic network and uses flooding mode broadcasting.
Other objects and features of the present invention will emerge from the following description of one embodiment of the invention given by way of example for an application to a tactical telecommunication network using microwave links and with reference to the appended drawings.
FIG. 1, already described, relates to the prior art.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a nodal station in a tactical telecommunication network equipped with a management system in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a management data switching and access equipment in a management system in accordance with the invention.
The nodal station CN shown diagrammatically in FIG. 2 comprises a traffic switch CT connected to a plurality of traffic data transmission equipments ET of which there are six in this example and which constitute the equipments to be managed.
Each traffic data transmission equipment ET is associated with a management data switching and access equipment EG. These management data switching and access equipments EG constitute the nodes of a management support telecommunication network so called to distinguish it from the traffic telecommunication network carrying traffic data exchanged between network users.
Each management data switching and access equipment EG has three management support network ports or network ports connecting it to three other management data switching and access equipments EG of the management support network plus a port (not separately identified in FIG. 2) or equipment port connecting it to the management equipment.
The equipment EG in question is connected to an equipment EG of another nodal station (not shown) of the network by a network port A1 via the associated transmission equipment ET over a microwave link.
The other two network ports A2, A3 are connected by cable links to two other equipments EG at the same nodal station, in this instance the two equipments EG nearest the equipment concerned.
Note that the number of network ports may be greater than three without departing from the scope of the present invention.
Note likewise that the number of managed equipments ET associated with the same management equipment EG can be greater than one without departing from the scope of the present invention and that in this case the equipment EG would have a corresponding number of equipment ports.
The port A1 being connected via the associated equipment ET, the traffic data IT and management data IG are transmitted on different channels of the same microwave link as diagrammatically shown in FIG. 2.
The port A1 could be connected by a cable link like the ports A2 and A3 without departing from the scope of the invention.
The set of equipments EG interconnected in this way forms a meshed management support network transmitting management data between the network command center and the management data switching and access equipments associated with respective traffic data transmission equipments.
Note that the command center may be regarded as a special management data switching and access equipment EG and so can be moved within the management support network if this is reconfigured.
The equipment EG shown in FIG. 3 comprises a management switch CG whose network ports are the ports A1, A2, A3 and which routes management data sent or received by the equipment EG over the management network.
The management switch is connected to the managed equipment ET via an interface I which formats management data received at the network ports A1, A2 and A3 for the equipment ET in a form suitable for its reception by this equipment and management data sent by the equipment ET in a form suited to its transmission from the management switch ports A1, A2 and A3.
Management data is routed over the management support network in the known "flooding" broadcast mode whereby an equipment EG which receives such data on any of the three network ports retransmits it once from both of the other network ports which guarantees redundant routing of such data. If an equipment EG is the originator of data sent in this way it sends the data directly from the three network ports.
In the case of transmission of management data using the known packet-switched transmission mode, the management switch CG is a packet switch, for example, the interface I being in this case a packet assembler-disassembler. The management switch, which has a low capacity given its restricted number of ports, and this interface are advantageously implemented on the same component or circuit board (depending on the degree of integration).
In the case of implementation on a circuit board, for example, the board carries means defining an interface with the managed equipment and with the management network and means defining a management message switching function, in this example a packet switching function, utilizing the "flooding" routing technique.
At the interface with the managed equipment the circuit board formats remote supervisory and telecontrol messages at the managed equipment input and output.
At the interface with the management network this circuit board:
sends remote supervisory messages originating from the equipment,
recognizes messages addressed to the managed equipment and processes them so that they can be forwarded to that equipment,
manages acknowledgement of messages addressed to the managed equipment.
The circuit board may be either integrated into the equipment to be managed or housed in a separate unit.

Turkey and Tortellini Tetrazzini
Recipe by DeniseBC
This is a great use for that leftover turkey! I got this recipe from the Raleigh News and Observer from a syndicated column called "Desperation Dinners". I tried it tonight and it was tasty. The original recipe called for 16oz of frozen cheese tortellini, but I could only find 20oz of fresh. It doesn't really matter since you add the tortellini after it has been cooked to the other mixtures. I'm listing here as I made it. Hope you enjoy!
Top Review by Bippie
Made for Spring 2008 PAC. This was a split decision between DH and I. He really liked the fact that it was like a turkey pot-pie, but was confused by the addition of the pasta. I really liked the pasta, but was really unhappy with the flavor of the creamed soups. This was very easy to make and I'll bet it will make someone a great comfort food staple.

By Gary Graves, USA TODAY
John Andretti's world and racing career would've continued on even without the qualifying lap he waited for all month Sunday, the one that sealed his 10th Indianapolis 500 start and added excitement to Bump Day.
More important for the NASCAR Sprint Cup regular, he doesn't have to wonder how he would've handled the awkward prospect of explaining failure to his bosses, specifically seven-time Cup champion Richard Petty. As it turned out, e-mails from "The King" and his primary sponsor reiterating support for Andretti ended up taking heat off the driver as his team feverishly worked to find speed in the final 25 minutes of qualifying.
"They told me how much they knew this meant to me and not to let them pressure me," said Andretti, whose No. 43 Dallara/Honda went on to blast a four-lap average of 221.316 mph to claim the middle of Row 9 (28th).
"They really understood what was happening, and I couldn't have asked for a better situation. Though it did relieve some pressure, if it didn't happen it would've been devastating for me because of my pride."
ANDRETTI AT INDY: Year-by-year stats
Instead, Andretti will continue his pursuit of one dream while Petty's iconic career adds another chapter.
Petty was two years into retirement as a driver by the time NASCAR graced Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1994 for its inaugural 400-mile race and has spent the years since attending the Cup event as a car owner.
That role will continue in Sunday's 93rd running, this time with Richard Petty Motorsports co-owning Andretti's Indy car in a partnership with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing. Andretti, nephew of 1969 Indy 500 champion Mario Andretti, joins teammates Davey Hamilton (22nd), British rookie Mike Conway (24th) and Venezuelan Milka Duno (31st) in the 33-car grid.
"We're going up to Indy to watch John race and take in all that up there," said Petty, 71, who will watch most of the race before flying to Concord, N.C., to watch his four-car NASCAR operation compete in the 50th Coca-Cola 600 that evening.
"He did an amazing job on Sunday. They cut it awfully close but had to overcome a lot. If he runs well, nobody will remember where he started. ...
"I don't know much about what goes on with those cars in Indy, but I am a fan and enjoy it."
During pole qualifying May 9, Petty described his fascination with the race starting with trips to Indy through then-sponsor STP but said it was not enough for the lanky legend to consider driving the cramped, low-slung vehicles. He attended his first Indy as a spectator last year, never thinking he'd return this spring as a car owner.
Andretti, who finished 16th last year at Indy while driving for Roth Racing, had been talking with North Carolina-based Window World about a sponsorship deal that finally led to this season's support of his No. 34 Chevrolet Impala Cup ride with Front Row Motorsports.
Andretti's associations with the window maker and Petty (for whom he won a Cup race at Martinsville Speedway in 1999) led to talks culminating in last month's announcement of an Indy ride.
"A couple of months ago he called and said, 'Hey, I finally got this together, how would you like to be involved?' " Petty said. "And I said, 'Show me what you got.' "
He was referring to business but ended up getting an on-track answer from Andretti, who arrived at Indy with goals of gaining one of the top 11 spots May 9.
He settled for qualifying the next day, grabbing 22nd before crashing in Turn 1 during practice and being bumped by Scott Sharp.
Andretti returned Saturday to qualify 31st but spent Sunday in and then out of the 33-car grid with good laps from Tomas Scheckter and Ryan Hunter-Reay. With a half-hour left in Bump Day, Andretti needed a miracle as his Honda lagged behind in practice and qualifying. Help came from all angles.
Co-owner Larry Curry showed Andretti a text from two-time Cup champion Tony Stewart suggesting a wider approach through Turn 1 to gain speed into the straightaway, while the team tinkered with the front and rear wings to adjust downforce.
The ensuing practice run yielded nothing, sending Andretti back in for more adjustments before a final qualifying attempt that ended up being one of the month's best recoveries.
Needing to run at least 220.4 mph to have a chance, he blasted through Turn 1 en route to a first lap of 221.571 mph and fell off little over the next three circuits to cap one of the most stressful days he can remember.
"They never gave up. That was pretty dramatic," Petty said.
Andretti and his team face more work during Friday's final one-hour Carburetion Day practice, but he has come to expect such challenges from Indy — none of which compare to answering to The King.
"Anytime you work harder for something, you appreciate it more," Andretti said Monday. "We're in the race now, and that becomes our focus, and the way it happened is the way Indy is.
"I don't want to do it again, though."
This will be John Andretti's 10th running in the Indianapolis 500. A look at his record at Indy in May:

Is Social Psychology Best Left Unstudied?
by David Satterlee
Prompt: The late U.S. Senator William Proxmire of Wisconsin criticized the work of two prominent social psychologists when he stated that, "Americans want to leave some things in life a mystery, and right at the top of things we don't want to know is why a man and a woman fall in love." How do you feel about Sen. Proxmire's position? Are there some things in life best left unstudied?

[quote:D'Mint:MV81Nzk0MDFfMjM4ODA3MjhfQTYyNjczMUI=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1285974] [quote:Gannon] OK, some interesting news. I've tried a few things, including those silicone ear plugs to soaking my head. Literally. Positive results all around, although I'm not sure the mechanism that might explain 'why'...but it has to do with the auditory perception system. I know I'm over-sensitive to this hum, and have other perceptual curiosities that have allowed me some infamy in my industry and with my clients. I get to play with very high-end hifi gear, because it seems I perceive enough to set the stuff up to get the most out of it. Plus, I experiment endlessly on everything, due my Asperger's Sydrome and very busy brain. So...back to the hum at hand. A few years ago, a shaman in Taos told me that I needed to soak in epsom salts for spiritual as well as physical reasons. I had largely forgotten this advice, until I was able to fix my new girlfriend's tub...as with MOST people, she is a showerer not a soaker (although I'm very quickly re-introducing her to this beautiful inexpensive daily 'spa vacation' treatment and meditation/prayer!). As I prayed about this hum...first in desperation in order to just make it go away because it bugged me, which morphed into a spiritual struggle where I toyed with returning this energy to its source to bring the propogators to their senses and tug at their consciences to help them see the light...then in acquiesence to learn if it was [b][i]only[/i][/b] nefarious or if it could be turned to a 1000 times positive (which the Maker I serve just LOVES to do, apparently, with even the most negative of plans and actions), and finally for WISDOM to know more about the whole phenomena (which is probably where I should've started in the FIRST place, but desperation usually doesn't immediately appeal for inner growth!). I was 'sent' on a series of experiments, some of which I've detailed here already. The silicone earplugs work for the worst of night-time distractions, allowing me to sleep through the night without being awoken periodically (which oddly and distubringly happened exactly on the hour, usually near three or four in the morning) AND oddly causing my ongoing sinus infection to be more tame. THAT sinus stuff led me back to the soaking in Espom Salts...which back when I was doing it regularly, I learned how to let it fill my sinus cavity underwater and heal the raw tissue from my continual nose blowing from some infection caused by a weakened immune system. I've known for a long time that I needed to address this cause, but going through the intestinal cleanse and required dietary focus has been WAY more than I could put energy to. Yesterday, when I finally dared to do it...the first time out above the waterline, the hum was simply GONE. I know it was still there, because I could still 'feel' the pressure...but that annoying and bothersome audible noise was simply not there, as long as there was some water still in my sinus cavity...perhaps equalizing the pressure on the eardrum or other parts of the complex and mysterious hearing sense of ours. I checked again today, and absolutely the annoyance is GONE after soaking...although the sensitivity to the noise returns in small doses as things dry out. I believe the sinus infection, perhaps coupled with the immune system imbalance, put my head into a pressure condition which makes the hum THAT much more audibly annoying to the point of abject distraction. I am now on an immune system restoration plan, but these things usually take weeks and this is only halfway through day one. I will continue the Espom Salt soaks, and have the chance to sample the state of hum in San Diego over the weekend. I will be able to soak and such there and will report as anything dawns upon me. I sincerely hope this helps some of y'all cope with this...and I need to mention that my solutions do NOT negate the probability that this hum is part of the mass mind control...since I know of MK-Ultra experiments to this effect and that even as recent as ten years ago academics bound by non-disclosure agreements with the government (due the nature of their research) were still playing with the induction of tones through the electrical grid which would be perceived by the senses beyond our most blatant five. Cheers and more from VERY chilly and relatively snowblind Detroit... [/quote] microwaves are effectively blocked by metal and absorbed by water. microwaves emitted from cell towers are causing you this problem, water is why soaking helps. after you dry out it will come back. wear a shielded cap/hat or stick aluminium on your walls and ceiling. goodluck [/quote] [color=indigo][/color][face=Tahoma][/face]:yoda: Very interesting post i will have to try this. D'Mint [/quote]
Original Message
For the past month or so I have been hearing a very low level humming sound. No one else hears it and I'm starting to wonder WTF is going on. I hear it mostly at night and early morning, because I'm guessing it's the quiet time of the day (night).
This humming is not constant, it sounds like an electric motor trying to cycle. I've turned off all the curcuits in the house so I know it's not from within the house. I can even hear it when I'm out in the woods or at the neighbors house.
It's really starting to bug me out!
And no it's not tinnitus.

|[jira] [Commented] (GIRAPH-36) Ensure that subclassing BasicVertex is possible by user apps
|Mon, 31 Oct 2011 06:48:32 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-36?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13139962#comment-13139962 ] Jake Mannix commented on GIRAPH-36: ----------------------------------- Regarding 1) - I guess I can see how VertexReader could be an abstract base class which hangs onto the GraphState, and instantiates the BasicVertex instances for its subclasses, using the private GraphState reference, and passing it to an abstract initializeVertex(BasicVertex<I,V,E,M> v) method to be populated via the (newly added in this patch) BasicVertex#initialize(<lotso args>) method. Thinking further on 2) - am I just not seeing how we could easily make VertexReader act like an Iterator / factory for BasicVertex instances without typing it by the type of the thing it's to instantiate? > Ensure that subclassing BasicVertex is possible by user apps > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: GIRAPH-36 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-36 > Project: Giraph > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: graph > Affects Versions: 0.70.0 > Reporter: Jake Mannix > Assignee: Jake Mannix > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.70.0 > > Attachments: GIRAPH-36.diff > > > Original assumptions in Giraph were that all users would subclass Vertex (which extended MutableVertex extended BasicVertex). Classes which wish to have application specific data structures (ie. not a TreeMap<I, Edge<I,E>>) may need to extend either MutableVertex or BasicVertex. Unfortunately VertexRange extends ArrayList<Vertex>, and there are other places where the assumption is that vertex classes are either Vertex, or at least MutableVertex. > Let's make sure the internal APIs allow for BasicVertex to be the base class. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Not overly agressive product roll-out schedules. Decent compensation package. Work schedule isn't a sweatshop.
Not enough private and public recognition of employees who make a difference.
Advice to Management
Allow peer reviews of senior management. Provide suggestion boxes for employees to contribute their ideas. Recognize individual superior performers for their contributions.

I have been working at Atmel full-time (More than 10 years)
Bay Area's nice weather, really. There are many engineers from design to testing who are really good and passionate at what they do.
Do not have any hope as an engineer. If you are a political activist who lives to tell other people how to do what you yourself never was and will never be able to do yourself, then Atmel is your place. Instead of investing company's cash into the Colorado fab to create American jobs, the executives decide to buy back the company stock with shareholders' money to artificially keep up the stock price so they make more own money selling their stock options. Why would anyone give money to Atmel by buying Atmel stock when
Atmel's board decides to use the same money to buy back the same shares?! What value added can come from this speculation?
Advice to Management
Chips are not made by mba's. Standard practices include not only personnel reviews and layoff procedures, but also engineering continuing education. Promoting technical innovation is not recognized as a company core value except as a derivative of much broader formulations.
I worked at Atmel full-time
Laid back work culture, could make you feel sometimes that you are on a vacation :)
No hard deadlines in engineering
Please manager to stick around or grow :)
Good place to retire or join after 50 years of age
Slow or no career growth
When issue comes, politics and finger-pointing starts and a work around evolves
Poor leadership in some groups (like memory product group, specially in marketing)
Too much focus by company on planning, IT and legal groups
Advice to Management
Value non-management engineering employees before rewarding heavy stocks and pay to management.
Look at growing memory products by change in management

Microsoft and Sun Microsystems both may claim to have pioneered the "datacenter in a box" concept, but Microsoft appears to be the first company that is rolling out container-based systems in a major way inside one of its datacenters.
At a conference in Las Vegas last week, Michael Manos, Microsoft's senior director of datacenter services, said in a keynote speech that the first floor of a datacenter being built by the software vendor in the Chicago area will hold up to 220 shipping containers, each preconfigured to support between 1,000 and 2,000 servers, according to various news reports and blog posts.
That means the $500 million, 550,000-square-foot facility in the Chicago suburb of Northlake, Ill., could have as many as 440,000 Windows servers on the first floor alone or up to 11 times more than the total of 40,000 to 80,000 servers that conventional datacenters of the same size typically can hold, according to Manos. He was quoted as saying that Microsoft also plans to install an undisclosed number of servers on the building's second floor, which will have a traditional raised-floor layout.
Microsoft's public relations staff didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Monday about the speech that Manos gave at the Data Center World conference. But James Hamilton, a technical architect on Microsoft's Windows Live Platform Services team, has posted multiple entries about the speech by Manos on his public blog.
Microsoft has said that it plans to begin operations at the Northlake datacenter by the end of the summer. The company is on a datacenter building spree aimed at meeting the sharp growth in processing demand that its Windows Live and Office Live online services are expected to generate. Other IT facilities are being built in San Antonio, Dublin, and rural Quincy, Wash., the last of which would be Microsoft's largest datacenter at 1.5 million square feet.
Cooled by the oft-chilly winds blowing off of Lake Michigan, Chicago was rated in a study conducted last year as the most energy-efficient U.S. city in which to build a datacenter. But the density of Microsoft's datacenter in Northlake is requiring the company to construct three electrical substations that will provide a total of 198 megawatts of electricity for powering and cooling systems, according to a story posted by the Data Center Knowledge online news site.
That's enough electricity to power almost 200,000 homes, and Manos told Data Center Knowledge that about 82 percent of the $500 million bill for the Northlake datacenter is going toward the facility's mechanical and electrical infrastructure.
Long used by the U.S. military, containers filled with preconfigured, ready-to-run servers are being touted as a quicker, more modular way to expand datacenters on the fly than installing racks of servers one by one. Google and Sun have both filed patent claims on server-filled containers, although the former isn't thought to be actively deploying them. Besides Sun, other vendors of container-based setups include IBM, Dell, and Rackable Systems.
Despite its huge size and 24/7 operations, Microsoft's Northlake datacenter won't provide much of a lift to the IT job market in the Chicago area. Manos has said that the new facility would employ only about 30 people, including systems administrators as well as building security and janitorial staffers. In contrast, Google has said that a $600 million datacenter it is building in Council Bluffs, Iowa, will have about 200 employees when it opens next year.
Microsoft's theory, according to a 2007 presentation by Hamilton (download Word document), is that a smaller staff will actually boost the datacenter's reliability. Hamilton claimed that between 20 percent and 50 percent of system outages are due to "human administrative error," and argued that letting malfunctioning hardware die off was a wiser strategy for a redundantly networked datacenter than trying to fix the systems and thus potentially risking a larger failure.
"As parts fail, surviving nodes continue to support the load," Hamilton wrote. "In this modified model, the constituent components are never serviced and the entire module just slowly degrades over time as more and more systems suffer non-recoverable hardware errors." He added that even if 50 of the servers in a 1,000-system module suffered fatal hardware failures, the module would still be "operating with 95 percent of its original design capacity."

The worrisome proclivity of Nigeria's acknowledged statesman and former President, Olusegun Obasanjo for causing distractions, unpleasant distractions especially in matters that he ought to be very cautious about is as disturbing as it is troubling.
A short throwback into the past easily underscores the repeated tendency of the former President to cause palpable tension in the land either with his public utterances or some letters written to high political officer holders supposedly to draw attention to his takes on happenings in the land. We do not begrudge the former military Head of State this privilege which he is eminently qualified to enjoy. But from records, we note that the former President had his own reasons why he would sign another's praises to high heavens in the first instance, only to turn round to pull same fellow down usually via public letter writing.
No doubt, we are aware that it is easy for the author of any such letter to blame the recipient for leaking the missive to the media. It is easy to blame some mischievous personal aides for the leakage, if any. But if only the writer is cautious enough to distinguish between matters meant for public commentaries as against missives authored by statesmen and channeled appropriately to avoid any embarrassment to the government, nation and whatever it intended to address.
When he did it with former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Audu Ogbeh, the letter leaked out; next Obasanjo feasted with his then political leader only to find reasons to instigate his sack from office next day. On this note too, we remember what fate befell late Senate President, Dr. Chuba Okadigbo and how he fell from his high office after his encounters with Obasanjo.
The former President recently took his peculiar letter writing skill to the doorsteps of the National Assembly when he alleged myriad corrupt practices in the management of the two Chambers.
The reaction of Senate President, Olubukola Saraki that he and his colleagues were mindful of the need for good governance and accountability, rubbished the former President Obasanjo despite the obvious quantum and gravity of the issues raised, and by virtue of the writer and the position he occupies in the state of affairs in Nigeria today. But we are quick to add that Obasanjo got what he asked for.
After all, elsewhere, former elected leaders in his class from other climes see themselves as part of the government at the centre without consideration for such a government's political viewpoint. They also see themselves not only as apolitical, but as fathers and leaders of their respective nations as well as being of sound mind enough to be very patriotic advisers to succeeding governments after them. To them, what matters most at that point is the security and progress of their different countries.
Over the years, especially since he served out his second constitutionally mandated term in office as president, Obasanjo's actions on issues pertaining to governance and progress in the country have always been as vitriolic and acidic as it has been questionably undignifying of his stature. Besides, his petulance, foul temperament and indiscretions should have no place in the democracy this country craves for.
Though he may have a good, patriotic reason to write the letter to lawmakers, his choice of words and channel of delivering the missive exposed his intentions as basically not for the overall good of the legislature. And that being so, whatever facts Obasanjo tried to expose about the legislature were watered down at the end of the day for according to Senator Saraki, whatever the former president raised in his letter were already being addressed in-house.
Given similar embarrassments that follow this simple but out-moded strategy by the former president to hit back at his real or perceived political enemies, we are constrained to urge Obasanjo to deliberately be comported in the way other former presidents in and outside Nigeria are known to do. Even if he craves to be seen as the "father of modern Nigeria," there is nothing wrong with that except that elderly comportment is an essential attribute which demands reserve, reticence and caution from a man of his standing.
He must note that his quest for stature as the father of the nation will be helped by a huge dose of circumspection but will be doomed by his notorious hubris.
The worrisome proclivity of Nigeria's acknowledged statesman and former President, Olusegun Obasanjo for causing distractions, unpleasant distractions especially in matters that he ought to be very cautious about is as disturbing as it is troubling.

you can set the other tabs to need a user name and password so they can just access the ticket creation page
if not that then a little more info please

Hi Peter thanks four your respone,
Our problem is the next, when i create user portal, we observed that doing login in the user portal with any email adress for example "email@example.com" automatically this email can acces to user portal, creating a new user in our helpdesk user database.
Id like that only the users created by helpdesk admin can acces to user portal, and the emails not discharged by the helpdesk admin cant acces to the user portal showing them a acces error,
thanks and apologies for my english

you cannot create end users only admin users and (there restricted counterparts) if you want only people created in spice works (admins) to access the portal then only give the address out to those people
just curious how are end users going to get tickets to you?
Jun 7, 2012 at 4:06 UTC
Hi Daniel,
Currently Active Directory is required in order to have a username and password authentication on the user portal. Do you have Active Directory? If so, then you can restrict login to only your Active Directory users.
There's some more information at http:/
Also, your English is great :)
Jun 7, 2012 at 4:17 UTC
Hi Aaron thanks four your fast response,
We havent Active Directory, but i will read your link information thanks again
Peter we want fix end user without admin permisions only want that end users helpdesk can create ticket, the problem is that we only want that Two users for organization remit our tickets, and if other end users know link user portal could accede it invent email.
Thanks again i am surprised for the For the collaboration

Petes PC Repairs is an IT service provider.
okay just to clarify you set up the help desk at a company but you only want 2 people at that company to submit tickets on everyone else's behalf you don't want anyone else stumbling on to the help desk portal and trying to submit tickets
easiest way would be not to use the portal but get the two people at the company to email in their requests for help, but give the help desk a different email address thats not easy to guess so instead of email@example.com you make it firstname.lastname@example.com and only tell this to the two people you want putting in the tickets

The Adelaide Fringe Wrap Up
This year the Plympton ASG group hosted an Event at the Adelaide Fringe Festival called 'The ASG Opens It's Seams'. Aside from the event itself, the ASG was invited to the exclusive launch party that celebrates the launch of the Fringe program. The ASG was paid to sew a whopping 150m of fabric bunting and 70 headscarves for Fringe staff. Steph &Sarah stitched up the bunting and wrote this tutorial for sewing large quantities of bunting after theyfinished. Margaret, Sandra and Jenny stitched up the headscarves, adding a the ASG logo to each one. The headscarves were made from stash and so many staff came to say thank you and tell us how much they enjoyed picking through all the different patterns! Long after the event I saw these scarves being worn around town, so I think they were quite popular. The pics below are from the Fringe Launch (yes, it's a pity they put Sewer rather than Sewing on the signage).

Once logged in tomorrow morning, will I be able to make my dining reservations for all 8 nights? Or, because we are staying at 2 different resorts (4 nights each) and thus have 2 different reservations, can I only make DR's tomorrow for the first 4 days?

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The location was great - within walking distance of many things to do in Memphis. The concierge at the hotel was very helpful and friendly. Shower pressure was good, and beds were comfy. Not a lot of tv channels (not that you should be watching tv on a vacation!), and it smelled a little weird (like all hotels).
Only good thing was the location Door dead bolt handle missing, also door didn't seal when closed. Toilet handle was broken, bathroom light fixture was burned out, mildew on the shower curtain, lamp missing a light bulb, dirt in the corners of bath room and on the door. The pool water was green.
Nothing. Lights in bathroom did not work. Requested them to fix or another room. They refused. Room smelt moldy and smoke. Carpets were dirty with animal hair. Asked for refund. They couldn't do anything about it since I booked thru your office. Contacted your office and received NO service from operator. Still waiting for some type of response. NOTHING. Ended up booking another room on my own at different hotel since I could not get any help from your office. This will be the last time I use your service and will be proud to inform my family and friends.
I expected to be disappointed. But I was pleasantly surprised and this was a clean convenient hotel at an affordable price. I will come back Not many amenities
Proximity to downtown area No hair dryer in room
location it was like spring break with drunk college kids yelling and screaming and fighting. not relaxing.
Close to Beale Street. 7 minute walk. Not outrageously over priced. I would stay again. Very small double bed room. Carpet was stained in several places. Bathroom needed a deep cleaning.
The bed was comfortable Almost everything. Flat screen tvs were avertised not 15 inch old school tvs
Near The center of The city It's notte clean
Breakfast I arrived around 8pm. White and black trash was hanging outside, some blasting music in the car. I luckily got a room on the other side overlooking the pool. When I walked in the toilet was running, the fridge buzzing and there was coin change on the desk. The bed was ok besides cigarette burns in the sheets. I Unplugged the fridge and tried to close the bathroom door for the noise but it didn't close. I did NOT get any sleep because the room next door had the TV on max sound until 6am. Also woke up from orgasm noises. I was wearing rubber professional construction work ear plugs (not the spongy ones) and still couldn't sleep from all this. The worst ever. The fitness center has a thread mill, cross trainer and a lift machine that is so old it is a safety hazard.
Room and breakfast Area is secluded. Run down hotel across from the hotel. Run down museum in the back of hotel. Not an area to go walking.
Hotel was a good value for one night but in general it was an antiquated hotel. Location of was in a poorer area of Memphis, though it was easy access to the highways and downtown. Hotel needs some updates.
Plus was all appliances worked. Close to food and a Walgreens. Staff was nice Non smoking room reeked of recent cigarette smoke. Carpets very dirty. Very easy to hear other rooms and what is happening outside. Wifi not free. No iron or hair dryer. No extra furniture
Good value for the money, and close to downtown. I checked thoroughly for roaches and bed bugs, and didn't find any. The carpet was not very clean, and the sheets and bedding looked really old. The air conditioner was also extremely loud.
Nothing Bed was very bad bed, power went out dirty and noisy.
Room was updated and the bed was awesome! Pool area was very clean and the staff was very nice. Felt safe in the area. Not much around for food or stores, but overall felt it was a good stay and value. Needs some minor building maintenance - some a/c grates were broken and the elevator was very dirty.
Long drive to get to Memphis with the outlook for two solid days of driving around looking for a house. Hotel in disrepair, and there's only one entrance. Bulbs in the room didn't work, and weren't replaced when I asked about them. Sockets were uncovered with exposed wiring. Lots of noise all night long. You get what you pay for, and in this case you're being overcharged.
The whole place smells funny. It is also in a massive state of disrepair. Smells funny. Everything is falling apart. It's just bad.
Nothing Air conditioner didn't cool room , horrible this pillows, horrible Wi-Fi, mold on the shower curtain, used bandwidth in the shower, and ignore up with bites all over my legs
My non-smoking room smelled so bad of smoke, my sheets even smelled Like smoke. Not much to like the room was really barren
Let's see they sold my room. Then they gave me a filthy room that had roaches. I have to say I'll never recommend them to anyone. Nothing
The location was easy off and easy on from highway. The room was not as clean as expected. Pillowcase had a faint smell like disel fuel.
The price I received a rash on my face from staying in this hotel. The linens or pillow cases must not have been properly sanitized. I travel and stay in hotels frequently and have never developed a problem like this after a hotel stay. The rash lasted for 3 days.
It was conveniently located on our travel route. The beds were uncomfortable and the room smelled musty. The bathroom needed serious updating, but I expected as much for the price.
Nothing Was to like It sucked. remote control did not have betteries. Front desk did not have any. Had to hunt down an iron. Door to room was raggedy
Nice rooms everything worked First room air didn't work. Moved to next room everything OK. Didnt bring towels or clean room. Had do not disturb on door. Someone trying to put new phone book. Should have asked to clean room
Clean and not too expensive. Nothing low carb for breakfast.
Other reviews were negative. I thought it was more than adequate in all aspects. No.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Close to a McDonald's & Waffle House. The beds were like sleeping on the box spring instead of a matress. Bathroom door wouldn't close all the way. Room #242
No microwave or coffee pot
Good price for the room. Wasn't spectacular, but served it's purpose (somewhere cheap to sleep when the bridge was frozen). Was a little loud, but I felt safe and my family felt safe. Beds were pretty stiff, but I slept ok.
This hotel has a lot of character. Don't bring your kids :)
The bed was very comfortable. The room was tolerable. The ladies at the front desk where very nice. The walls in the room were filthy, and the bedspreads were filthy as well. There seem to be a party going on in the room next to me, lots of noise. In the middle of the night someone beat on my door, waking me.
The bed The room temperature was not able to fully be controlled
We searched for the right location with a good price and we landed on Americas Best Value Inn.\nThe people were friendly we flt safe and the rooms were CLEAN. I am a germ phobic and to sy they were clean that is a good thing. Only thing missing from this quaint little place was a restaurant. The mall is very close and there are plenty of places to eat. with access to the highway. This is a great little spot to take a group of people. We had a ball!
Great hotel location
THIS IS THE WORST HOTEL QUALITY I HAVE EVER SEEN..I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SAY MUCH MORE..DO NOT TAKE THE RISK I HAVE STAYED AT MANY HOTELS THE WORST EVER..IF I WAS NOT SO TIRED I WOULD HAVE NOT STAYED I GOT THERE AT 2am and could not sleep i got up at 6am and left it was so bad.bed was wore out the tv remote did not even go to that tv it was not clean the bed has ashes in it and holes in comforter. i did not even take a shower it was gross
This property is pretty good!. My family enjoyed being there. The cost was great, the location was really great and we had a great time while staying in Memphis and the hotel had a lot to do with it.\n We will be back!\nThanks
For a value inn hotel, my stay was very nice. The staff was friendly and accommdating. The rooms were clean, and the location was great near shopping and Memphis famous Beal Street . Would stay again.
The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The carpet needs to be deep cleaned.
Friendly staff No fridge in the room, no shampoo and conditioner, no hair dryer, no breakfast offered. Even donuts. Lack of towels in the room
The staff was great. So friendly and helpful. They stopped and talked with you and made you feel welcome. They are fast but efficient.
Pretty much nothing. However, the location may be least bad thing about this hotel Room was extremely small and old. The bed was something you don't want to lie on. The picture does not justify the real experience.
we stayed two nights at this hotel and it was really liked it. it was nice and clean the manager made sure everything was in order, staff was nice and friendly. would stay there again.
I have just one of the most horrendous encounters that I have ever experienced in my lifetime at this hotel property. At approximately 10:50PM on June 25, 2011, I logged onto the web and made a reservation at this property. Upon arrival to the property, I advised the front desk clerk that I had an existing reservation and provided him with the confirmation # for said reservation. The clerk, who I later found out was named Patel, informed me that he did not show any record of my reservation. He then advised that I would have to pay the property's regular nightly rate. I inquired as to why I was being overcharged when I had an existing reservation, and he said that he had not received any information from the Reservation Department on the reservation that I had booked. I advised Patel that I would call the toll free reservation line to request their assistance with this issue. I dialed the reservation line, I spoke with Reservation Agent Robin, who asked for my name and quickly pulled up the reservation in her system. She then said that she would fax over the confirmation which included information on the rate I booked. She also indicated that she would give the property a call. She placed my on hold, and then attempted to call the property. By this time, three additional employees of the hotel joined Patel, and I am unsure of what was being said because they refrained from speaking in English. As I was standing at the front desk, the phone was ringing, but neither of the employees would pick up the phone. Robin came back to my line and asked if I was standing at the front desk. I told her yes, and then she asked that I inform the hotel employees that she was dialing the property, and to please pick up the telephone. I relayed Robin's message, and shortly after, they picked up her call. At this point I am completely unsure of what the agent was telling the property employees, but the gentleman that she was speaking with went absolutely ballistic. It is...

The hotel was gated, swimming pool, cleanliness, and only 0.5 mile from Graceland! Everything was great!

Price. Dirty,dirt left over from other customers.Furniture dirty and sticky,some garbage food left from somebody before.Windows very dirty like nobody them clean for years.
We were surprised and happy.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
We booked at this hotel last year. We were assigned to the very same room that we had last year.
Nothing but the desk clerk and she was quite nice. We did not stay the night. Room was musty and reeked of smoke as well. Building is in a state of disrepair and we were panhandled on the way in. We changed clothes and went to my high school reunion, went back and packed and drove 2 1/2 hours home during the night rather than stay there. The room was not particularly clean. There was not even a chain lock much less a deadbolt on the door, only the card key lock. I did not feel safe there.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Nothing Everything. This was the worst hotel that I ever spent 1 terrible night in. The room was filthy. The bed was covered in hair and dirty. The shower was dirty and smelled of mildew. I hated every minute of being there.
Quiet, room was clean and very nice.
The paint outside Everything
Nice staff. Broken dresser.
great hotel...friendly management..had no problem upgrading our room...plan on booking there every trip to memphis
The location No. Everything was great!

Czech Facebook Switcheroo Mixes Free iPhones and Politics
The social-networking titan Facebook has been hit by scandal in the Czech Republic after a fan site that originally offered free Apple iPhones quietly morphed into a political lobbying page.
The switcheroo is of little significance to Facebook globally, but it does highlight the murky waters of social networking, and one could imagine that some users may take offense to corporate and political abuse of the networking site.
Over 80,000 Czechs in recent months became fans of a Facebook page that claimed to offer free iPhones. But on New Year's Day that fan site suddenly started sending marketing and promotional messages of Czech politician Jiri Paroubek to the pages of its 80,000 subscribers.
Several thousand fans promptly canceled their subscription to the iPhone-turned-politics-fan page.
The founding administrator of the original site has vanished, and in the meantime, both the original and the political page have been removed from Facebook.

When new guys arrive at Boys Halfway House they undergo an intake interview, which includes having their bags searched, as well as a close, personal inspection of their bodies. So while one supervisor is downstairs going through Nash and Chandler's bags, another is giving them a lecture about the house rules. Then he orders the boys to strip and bend over the couch for the standard cavity search. But as Nash and Chandler quickly learn, there's nothing standard at all in this halfway house.
After the butt check, the supervisor orders the boys to their knees and he pulls out his cock. Nash Bradik is the dark-haired guy, a hardened street punk, and he's the first on the supervisor's cock. Then blond Chandler Scott is told to join in. Guys living on the streets do all kinds of thing to survive, so this pair has sucked dick before, although it's not their first choice of things to do. And Nash is definitely not thrilled about having to blow the supervisor and gives him some nasty stares.
The supervisor decides to put Nash in his place, so he fucks Chandler first making Nash squirm knowing that he's getting it next. Chandler is tight, but the supervisor opens him up, then he pulls out and makes Nash suck the butt juice off his cock. He fucks Nash next, but the supervisor has something special in store for this miscreant. He has the boys lie side by side on the floor, then he squats over them and makes Chandler jack him off into Nash's mouth. I'm betting these two are going to be on their best behaviour from now on.

Inlow is the inkeeper on The Queen's Man.
He gives Rand and Mat a chance to play at the inn so the guests take their mind off Logain. Rand gets fevers and chills in the kitchen before they have a chance to entertain. This is a reaction to channeling two days before in Four Kings. He gives food to the boys and is prepared to offer anything else if they stay out of sight of his guests.

Chris walked out on England last weekend - unable to bear missing out on a try-fest.
Moments after being recalled for tomorrow's clash against Australia, the Saracens wing came clean and admitted he turned his back on Twickenham last Saturday.
"It was so frustrating that I left after 60 minutes and drove home," he revealed. "I couldn't watch it any more.
"I was banging my head on the wall in frustration at seeing so many tries scored and not being able to be involved."
Without Ashton, serving a one-match ban for three yellow cards, England helped themselves to seven tries against the Pacific islanders.
Most painful for the Wigan-born star, who has gone nine Tests without a try after helping himself to 15 in his first 17, his replacement Charlie Sharples scored two.
"It's killing me!" he said of a drought which stretches back over 12 hours. "I was pleased for Charlie scoring some tries but it's been a tough two weeks for me."
Consolation for the 25-year-old has come in the form of his speedy reinstatement by boss Stuart Lancaster - the only change to the side which stuck 54 points on Fiji.
"I know Chris found it hard to watch last week," said Lancaster. "You never want to give your international shirt away and as a consequence he has had a tough lesson."
Ashton's recall will send waves of concern through Australian ranks as it was in this fixture two years ago that he scored two superb tries.
Since then his fortunes have fluctuated. Joint top try-scorer in last year's World Cup, 2012 has proved problematic on and off the field.
He left Northampton for Saracens in a manner which won him few friends and after moving south was glassed in a nightclub by a stranger.
It is his on-field indiscipline, however, which concerns England. After his third visit to the sin-bin, he was ordered to work on his tackle technique by RFU disciplinary chief Judge Jeff Blackett.
"One of Chris' greatest strengths is his competitive instinct," said Lancaster. "Sometimes he can get a bit frustrated and he has to channel that frustration and put it into positive action."
Asked how much it was down to technical failings rather than hot-headedness, Lancaster said: "It is both really.
"We want to make sure we are good in collisions, that we are disciplined and don't give five points away or lose players from the field.
"Chris has been part of that and understands that. Part of tackle technique is working on it, which he has done. Part of it is temperament, which we have talked about also."
The Wallabies, trounced 33-6 by France six days ago, are without injured trio David Pocock, Kane Douglas and Pat McCabe, plus the suspended Rob Simmons.
Under-fire coach Robbie Deans gives recalls to wing Digby Ioane, full-back Berrick Barnes and prop Ben Alexander.

The Omega Point is a hypothetical point in time where an infinite amount of information processing (calculations) is possible. This huge quantity of computing can allow the revival of dead people. When we say dead, we mean destructed people, for example, dead in 1670 and cremated or buried.
From Aleph.se:
- A point or state where an infinite amount of information is stored and processed.
- More powerful (little) than quantum computing and distributed on every planets or matter available in the universe, in the goal to revive people and make them immortal in a paradise structure.
- While the universe collapses into a true singularity within a finite time, life squeezes the last drops of energy from it to develop faster than the collapse, and experience an infinite subjective time before the singularity; life will become immortal in its own perspective. An infinite amount of information is stored and processed, life evolves to its conclusion (which Tipler thinks is a single godlike being, Omega) and the universe becomes a single point, the Omega Point.
