While I and a number of people are fans of Cisco's EIGRP for its simplicity and ease-of-use, lately I'm seeing more use of OSPF. This may be due to networking staffs having increasing levels of sophistication. Or it may be that folks are looking at to the next generation of hardware, and thinking that OSPF is something you'll find in any worthwhile Layer 3 switch ("fast router"). After all, who'd want to buy a fast Layer 3 switch that only routes using RIP or RIPv2, with their slow convergence? That's basically the "it's a standard" argument -- you do OSPF if you anticipate using mixed vendor equipment in your network, or if you at least want to maintain that possibility.
Running OSPF so your routers can exchange information with NT servers is probably not a Good Thing. I personally don't want servers sending routing information to my "official routing protocol", since I've seen too many servers with duplicate IP addresses or other oddities. If a server administrator goofs and duplicates the server farm subnet on some workgroup server somewhere else, and it advertises it into your network, you're in for a serious outage! If your group controls the servers, or if NT servers are acting as low-end routers at remote sites, well, then there's a reason to run OSPF. I'll just mention in passing here that OSPF has an authentication feature that allows you to easily exclude any "unofficial" routers from your OSPF Autonomous System ("group of consenting routers").
I don't think I'm revealing any deep dark secret if I tell you that you need to know OSPF well for the CCIE test and for recertification. The general rule of thumb is, if it's a major protocol or feature, used at a lot of sites, it's probably in the test. (There's also minor stuff, presumably to see if you can Read The Fine Manual and get it working).
The drawbacks are the area structure and design aspects of OSPF, which we'll look at below. This means you have to plan for how your network is going to grow when doing an OSPF design -- and some people would say that's a good thing. The protocol is mildly complex, so there is perhaps a steeper learning curve than EIGRP. Finally, configuring OSPF is a little more work than configuring EIGRP.
OSPF must have a backbone area 0. Any other areas must connect to area 0. All traffic between areas must go through area 0. Think about that. That implies that Area 0 is pretty critical to your network. It had better be robust and stable. It should probably have internal redundancy. And it better have the bandwidth to handle the traffic between areas.
There are some rules of thumb for Cisco router OSPF designs:
So if your network has fewer than 50 to 100 routers, you may be able to just have one big (happy?) area 0.
When you try a real OSPF design, you'll find that OSPF area 0 tends to grow on you. I've been calling this the "vacuum" effect: OSPF area 0 almost seems to pull links into it, until you find your design is all one big area 0, and you have to start over. My advice is to keep OSPF area 0 small. If area 0 is small, it's easy to keep it robust. I prefer to put the links connecting to non-backbone areas into those areas, and keep them out of area 0 (possible exception: dial backup links).
Terminology: routers within area 0 are backbone routers. The routers connecting area 0 to other areas are Area Border Routers (ABR's). Routers purely within an area are internal routers. And routers that redistribute another protocol into OSPF, or that connect to another routing domain, are Autonomous System Boundary Routers (ASBR's).
The routing pattern in OSPF seems to occasionally surprise people in more complex designs, so let's repeat how traffic goes between areas. Traffic from Area 1 to Area 2 must go through area 1 until it reaches an Area 1 Border Router. It then travels only within the backbone Area 0 until it reaches an Area 2 Border Router. It then travels within Area 2 to the destination. Traffic to a destination within the same area as the source travels purely within that area; it may not normally cross into the backbone.
The reason for areas is the old computer science trick of "divide and conquer". OSPF routers in an area share all information about routers and link status. This uses RAM, and computing the Shortest Path First (Dijkstra) algorithm can use CPU. Furthermore, routers in an area share information via Link State Advertisements (LSA's), which are flooded throughout the area. (Chicken and egg problem: routers may not know the other routers in the area or how to get to them, so LSA's have to slosh -- umm, flood -- around to make sure every router gets a copy). By dividing the network into areas, the amounts of RAM, CPU, and flooding traffic are limited, providing better scalability.
We'll also see that we can summarize routes at Area Boundary Routers (ABR's), hiding the details of the area, and in effect, advertising "this way to the area". That's good for stability and scaling of the network.
Routers within an OSPF area must share the same information (so as to derive the same map of the area and the same routing conclusions). Thus you cannot filter or hide routes within an area.
I've already assigned addresses that might be summarizable. The design for this network is to divide 184.108.40.206 up into 1024 subnets using subnet mask 255.255.255.192. Thus the subnets will have some number in the third octet, and will have multiples of 64 in the last octet (some companies call this "quads"). (Calculating 256 - 192 = 64, we see we have multiples of 64 in the fourth octet, but the third octet is also part of the subnet information.)
The subnets are assigned in blocks, as follows:
|First Subnet
|Last Subnet
As we may see in a future article, this makes them summarizable blocks. If you're into bits and binary, you can think in terms of an "area mask" of 255.255.224.0. All the subnets in each block above, when logically ANDed with this area mask, share the same bits. Another way to think of this is to calculate 256 - 224 = 32, so with mask 255.255.224.0 we're working with multiples of 32 in the third octet (where the 224 was).
Note that the Ethernet 0 addresses are all drawn from a subnet in the block of subnets for area 0. And the serial 0 interfaces come from the first subnet in the block for their area.
Here's the relevant router configuration:
interface Ethernet 0The interface command show that we assign addresses as usual, using normal subnet masks. (In a real network, we would probably do Variable Length Subnet Masks -- VLSM -- on Serial 0, with a mask of 255.255.255.252, but I've chosen to keep the example simple).
ip address 18.104.22.168 255.255.255.192
interface Serial 0
ip address 22.214.171.124 255.255.255.192
router ospf 1
network 220.127.116.11 0.0.31.255 area 0
network 220.127.116.11 0.0.31.255 area 2
area 0 range 22.214.171.124 255.255.224.0
area 2 range 184.108.40.206 255.255.224.0
The router command specifies an OSPF routing process with process id 1. This number is not part of the OSPF LSA's, and hence is purely local to the router. You should probably use 1 to make it easy to remember, unless you have multiple OSPF AS's, in which case you might choose to use the process id to track which OSPF process goes with which OSPF AS.
The network command for OSPF does a couple of things. It tells the router which interfaces are in which areas. And it causes the router to start sending OSPF hellos on matching interfaces. The gotcha with the network command is that it uses a wildcard style mask. In the above example, the mask indicates that any interfaces in the range 22.214.171.124 through 184.108.40.206 should be in area 0, and interfaces in the range 184.108.40.206 through 18.104.22.168 should be in area 2.
131.108. 0. 0 131.108. 64. 0
0. 0. 31.255 0. 0. 31.255
--------------- ---------------
131.108. 31.255 131.108. 95.255
The nice thing here is that you can actually add the mask to the starting address to find the end of the range of addresses covered. This only works if the block or starting address is correct for that mask (I'm going to be a bit vague here, to duck having to do more binary arithmetic in public.)
Some people prefer to Keep It Simple, configuring network 22.214.171.124 0.0.0.0 area 0. This tells the router that precisely the address 188.8.131.52 is in area 0. That's certainly simple: keep the mask 0.0.0.0, and just specify each interface address. Of course, it's a bunch of typing on a bigger router with lots of interfaces.
By the way, when you're experimenting with OSPF, there can be order sensitivity to the commands. The problem seems to be that if you configure network ..., then no network ..., then network <something else>, the router may not re-initialize OSPF on the relevant interface(s) -- so it doesn't send hellos, and doesn't form adjacencies. The solution is either to save your configuration and reboot the router (drastic), or use a mouse to copy the router ospf part of the config, do "no router ospf 1" to stop OSPF, then paste the correct config back in.
To troubleshoot OSPF, the command to begin with is
show ip ospf neighbor
The use of this is simple: if the routers aren't fully adjacent (neighbors), they're not exchanging information. We'll look more at what the show command and debug can tell you, as well as router id's, adjacencies, hellos, LSA's, and how OSPF works, in a future article.
This may also be useful in a multi-national corporate network. Suppose your company has networks in the North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and perhaps those other continents too. Are they under common administration? One suspects not. So controlling growth, addressing, and so on centrally could be a challenge. Instead, you might consider making each continent a separate OSPF network, using some other protocol to control the flow of routes or summary routes between the continents. The granularity here doesn't have to be continents, I'm just using them to make the point.
The U.S. Post Office is putting in 38,000 Cisco routers. Note that if we use our rules of thumb, 38,000 divided by 100 routers says we'd need 380 areas. Alternatives include multiple OSPF AS's, and other protocols (like EIGRP). I'd very definitely want healthy route summarization in such a network. Note that since OSPF only allows us to summarize at ABR's, we can only have one level of summarization. With 38,000 routers, we might well want to summarize at the regional, state, and portion of state levels. That can't be done with pure OSPF.
Did I miss a good reason for running OSPF? Are NT server router wannabe's a problem in your network -- or a solution? Is there something else you'd like to know? Let me know by email! And while you're at it, ideas and wishes for future columns are always welcome!

"Location,location,location !"
Well situated apartment in the middle of Rome.Friendly welcome when we arrived from the airport.
It was amazingly quiet and yet near all the major restaurants and attractions such as the Vatican.
We had to walk four flights of stairs to get to the apartment but the view was fantastic and it was good daily exercise prior to sampling the excellent local restaurants recommended by the owner.
The apartment was comfortable but the air conditioning was only available in the upstairs bedroom whilst on the ground floor, there were fans in the twin bedroom and the living room.
In summary, this is an ideally situated apartment for a holiday in Rome , but it is very hot in summer.

"Welcoming flat; beautiful views and terrace."
We had a very happy stay and felt thoroughly welcomed.
The flat is in an excellent location: close to sites, but quiet.
We particularly enjoyed shopping in local food stores, cooking in the spacious and well-equipped kitchen, and eating on the roof-top terrace.

- Fair food and noisyDaveRDined on 11/7/2014We were to meet 3 clients there on a Friday evening to socialize and a bit of business. There was a loud band playing in teh bar area with an open doorway into the restaurant. The restaurant was full so as you can imagine, people were speaking louder than normal to be heard over the music and thus you could barely hear the person next to you. The food was fair and the service was not attentive, helpful with recommendations or engaging. I would not go back.
- Superior ServiceMaMelDined on 11/7/2014We had a large, diverse party (15 people)- the staff was magnanimous! Attentive, accommodating, and extremely patient.

- Airport GemDoc255VIPDined on 10/31/2014Arriving at Ohare airport our first thought was traveling to the city for dinner. However snow and traffic would have made the trip more than an hour. We decided to stay close to the hotel and were pleasantly surprised. Food was great and service was pleasent. Definitely would recommend to anyone around the airport.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ServiceCowboyVIPDined on 10/28/2014Food was very good, they left the scallops off of my dish accidentally and brought them out. the scallops were under cooked but they came to the rescue and did everything one should expect if a restaurant makes a mistake. No one is perfect but the recovery process was awesome here and the other meals were as well. I would recommend and go back!Special Features:
- Great placeSnorky1234Dined on 10/18/2014This was our first time dining at Carlucci's in rosemont. It was a little noisy at times, but the food was outstanding. The staff was attentive. The restaurant has a charm about it. I would highly recommend it.Special Features:
- Our new standing favoriteScooperDined on 10/18/2014We hold an annual meeting in Chicago and Carlucci's is the only place I will book! They had us back for the second year in a row and we already know we are booking again next year. We had a party of 15, so service times are expected to be lengthy, but the food was OUTSTANDING!!!! You will not be sorry you try Carlucci's!!!! See you next year!Special Features:
- Try the desert!VisitorsDined on 10/12/2014My steak was over cooked but besides that the rest of the food and the service was great. We enjoyed ourselves. We were given free desert and it was awesome. Can't remember the name of it but it was pistachio, strawberry, chocolate gelato with fudge and pistachio nuts. OMG! Amazing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Super SwordfishDebbDined on 10/6/2014I was in the area on business and selected Carlucci's since it was near my hotel near O'Hare. The service was attentive and helpful. I wanted a light dinner and selected a special of the day which was swordfish with scallops and vegetables. It was very tasty and not heavy and I would recommend it again. The restaurant was crowded on a Monday night so a reservation is suggested.Special Features:
- Very Good!MammamiaDined on 10/5/2014Went there with my out of town guests and we all enjoyed our meals. Seafood risotto, Chicken cacciatore and tilapia.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/5/2014excellent dining experience: food, service ambience.Special Features:
- red sauce perfectionpatriciaandrobertDined on 10/5/2014We visited at five on a Sunday evening. Perhaps because of time of our visit, there were only a handful of customers, resulting in wonderful personalized service. My husband and I both enjoyed the food. I am a red sauce perfectionist, frequently making my own, and their red sauce was better. This is rare. The setting was also designed with perfect male and female decor tastes considered...niceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, but mediocre serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/4/2014Overall we enjoyed our food and had an enjoyable dinning experience. The service was slow, the valet staff was non-existance, and the place was a little loud. The food came quickly and was very delicious and fresh and priced right.
- Good - Not GreatFoodDined on 10/3/2014This place has good atmosphere with average food. I ordered the gnocchi con filettino alla pizzaiola and found it to be average at best and very expensive for a pasta dish ($25). Specifically, the gnocchi was bland as was the beef, and I didn't taste any mushrooms. My friends also ordered pasta dishes and would agree on both accounts. On a previous visit, I ordered the linguine con prosciutto di parma e basilico and that was a better choice but still expensive for pasta. I would go again; however, I would order an appetizer as a meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food too noisy for businessbusinessmanbillDined on 9/24/2014Dining Room too noisy for important business meeting! OTable reservation:clear direction: "an important business meeting between 2 CEOs and their staff." 4 of 6 guests arrived at bar at 6:45p.m. and there were very noisy people drinking so we could not talk or hear each other, noisy bar.Then the dining room was 3/4 occupied, was still very very loud. During dinner, 1 CEO apologized to our round table for having to scream to be heard. But the other CEO said "No, I can't hear unless you speak loudly." For an important business meeting, the restaurant was way too noisy and loud, a real distraction for our 6 person business dinner. We had a very nice super tuscan wine, a good value as well! or business, I will go to nearby Rosewood instead.Special Features:
- Maybe next time?TinkerbellDined on 9/23/2014I was somewhat let down by my experience at Carlucci. I viewed the menu online, and figured that the food would be spectacular, since it was rather pricey. The appetizer and main course were ok (bruschetta and frutti de mare). The "sauce" in the frutti de mare was so abundant, that it was more like a seafood soup with pasta thrown in. The dining room is crammed with an abundance of tables, leaving little room for moving around. I was bumped pretty hard, twice by the staff. The hostess seemed to anticipate this, as she suggested that my friend sit on the other side of the table. This is NOT the place for a quiet dinner. It got so loud at one point it was difficult to converse. The tiramisu was delish, and free thanks to an online coupon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Food & Wine, Fair PricesWineloverDined on 9/22/2014This was my first time to Carlucci's and it did not disappoint! My friend and I valet parked (it's complimentary) - I didn't look very hard to find out where you can self park but the valet was super convenient. The hostesses were friendly and honored my request of a booth (requested using Open Table notes). The food was wonderful - we each had a salad and, for the meal, I had the Bolognese and my friend had the Risotto special. They had a concise selection of wine (I always find it hard to choose when there are 4+ pages of wines) and went with the Malbec (x2!). Overall, a great dining experience and well worth the $50/person tab when you include drinks.Special Features:

- Great service, delicious foodFoodieVIPDined on 9/19/2014Went there for dinner before a concert at the Rosemont Theatre. Ordered the calamari and salad as starters. Kids had the Mac cheese; adults ordered the braised beef pasta and the Parmesan, prosciutto pinwheel entrees, which were delicious. Bonus was that the concierge arranged transportation to the concert venue and back to the restaurant, so we did not have to deal with concert traffic. Thanks for a wonderful evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good suburban Italian pick......AwesomeVIPDined on 9/10/2014If you need a solid pick near the airport to meet clients this is a good option. The menu is surprisingly narrow and for whatever reason they don't make linguini with clams (a staple in any Italian joint) which is frustrating BUT the food is usually good as is the table service. Very reasonably priced too.Special Features:
- Good, not overwhelming.OpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 9/9/2014Not exceptional, but okay. Service was a little slow towards the end, we were left with dessert menus for about 15-18 minutes, then getting the bill took another 10, etc... Some might think that not unusual, but we all were fairly vocal about not wanting dessert. During the meal the service was fine, but we were there an unnecessary 25-30 minutes more than need be. The food was very serviceable, everyone enjoyed their food, but no one was blown away by their meal.Special Features:
- Good but not greatLeeWDined on 9/6/2014In a city of many great Italian restaurants Carlucci was good but not great. Service was top notch but food was average at a high price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Business DinnerwelikefoodDined on 9/6/2014They were very accommodating, it was a Saturday night and our original reservation was for 10 but 2 others tagged along and they added another table with no problem.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2013 Volkswagen Routan
By KBB.com Editors
While the press and public beg VW to bring back the classic Microbus, the company has instead taken a shorter (and cheaper) route, offering a minivan that is not entirely of its own creating. For the 2011 Volkswagen Routan, VW teamed up with Chrysler, borrowing the basic Dodge Grand Caravan platform and providing it with a hefty dose of VW styling. Die-hard VW fans, however, may have issues with the Routan, as its powertrain and electronics are pretty much Chrysler-derived. Available in three well-equipped models – S, SE and SEL – the Routan is a comfortable and practical front -drive family vehicle cable of holding as many as seven passengers; it's also loaded with features that help to make long road trips less arduous.
Although its drivetrain is borrowed from Detroit, the Routan's suspension and steering calibrations are clearly German. If you like a stiffer ride, sharper cornering and a more upscale interior, the 2011 Volkswagen Routan is probably the minivan for you.
If you're attracted to VW because you feel German engineering is superior to everyone else's, the Routan's Chrysler-based origins probably won't appeal to you.
For 2011, all Routan vans are now powered by a 3.6-liter V6 engine teamed to a new six-speed automatic transmission. Also new is a leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel, an ECO fuel switch that adjust the transmission's shift points for optimal economy, a stowable roof rack (SE and SEL) and front-passenger side airbags.
Driving Impressions Of primary importance to VW was the ability to impart the 2011 Routan with a distinctly European driving character. The stock Chrysler springs, shocks and bushings were swapped out in...favor of firmer parts and the power steering unit's valve proportioning was adjusted to create a heavier feel that responds more quickly to inputs. The result is a minivan that still has a comfortable ride, but feels more in-touch with the road. The improved springs and shocks help minimize body roll and lean and the new steering setup allows the Routan to track straight without requiring constant corrective inputs. Helping keep the Routan firmly planted to the road are a host of electronic assists, including traction control, anti-lock brakes and Electronic Stability Control with brake assist. The new 3.6-liter V6 pumps out an impressive 283 horsepower and does a good job quickly moving the 4,500-pound Routan up to highway speeds. The dash-mounted shift lever takes a bit of getting used to, but its positioning does allow easy Sport-mode gear changes.
Impressively Contoured Seats
While somewhat firmer than those in the Chrysler counterparts, the first- and second-row individual seats in the Routan have been upgraded, adding more aggressive and supportive bolstering to complement the vehicle's sportier suspension tuning.
Carefree Maintenance Program
The Routan comes with VW's all-encompassing Carefree Maintenance program that complements the normal three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty with zero-cost coverage for all basic routine servicing performed during that same time period.
VW retains Chrysler's gauges, switch gear, heating and ventilation components and audio systems, but applies a liberal dose of German flavor by adding thicker carpeting, form-fitting seats (available in cloth, V-Tex or perforated leather) and soft-touch material on the dash, door panels and armrests. Numerous storage areas abound inside the Routan, which features cup holders at every seating station, under-floor storage bins and an overhead storage console. An available 115-volt outlet is ideal for powering laptops or game consoles, and overhead airline-style lighting allows individual nighttime illumination that won't light up the entire cabin. The 2011 VW Routan's second-row captain's chairs can be folded flush into the floor, while the third-row bench seat can be flipped 180-degress to serve duty during tailgating parties.Exterior
The 2011 Volkswagen Routan may start life as Grand Caravan, but VW's unique styling and suspension tuning make it far superior to its American cousin. Sharing only the side door panels, glass and windshield with its Chrysler twin, the Routan creates its own visual appeal by touting a prominent grille, wide lower air intakes and aero headlamps. S trims ride on 16-inch steel wheels, while the SE and SEL feature standard 17-inch alloy rims with 225/65 all-season tires. Up top, a newly-available roof rack features pivoting roof rails that stow into the side rails, while around back a subtle spoiler and integrated third brake light rest atop the large hatchback door.
Beyond the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a six-speed automatic transmission, all Routans feature an impressive array of standard equipment, including power windows, locks and mirrors, keyless remote entry, three-zone air conditioning and cruise control. Front seats on the S trim level are manually operated, the SE has a power driver's seat and both front seats are power-operated with the SEL Premium. The upper trim levels also have dual-power sliding doors, second-row captain's chairs, steering-wheel audio and cruise control buttons and a six-disc CD/DVD player with an enhanced AM/FM/CD/MP3 sound system. The air conditioning is manually controlled on the S and SE and automatic on the leather-trimmed SEL, which also gets a power sunroof, heated second-row seats, remote start and power-folding third-row seats. The SEL Premium adds a 506-watt nine-speaker sound system, 115-volt outlet and a tire-pressure monitoring system that individually monitors each tire. All models include stability and traction control, anti-lock brakes, driver's knee airbag and front-seat side and side-curtain airbags, and all scheduled maintenance is free during the vehicle's basic warranty period.
The 2011 Volkswagen Routan model lineup leaves the options list limited to a few dealer-installed items. If you order the SE you can have the rear-seat entertainment system with or without navigation, but not the other way around; on SEL trims the rear-seat entertainment system must be bundled with navigation. The navigation package includes a 30 GB JoyBox music hard drive, USB port and backup remote camera. On the SEL and SEL Premium, the navigation also includes iPod interface and Sirius Travel Link. A power liftgate is available on the SE trim and standard on SEL and SEL Premium.
All 2011 Volkswagen Routan models are now fitted with a single engine and transmission combo: A 3.6-liter V6 and six-speed automatic transmission with ECO mode. The new engine is one of the most powerful in this class and is a welcome addition. Fuel economy is also quite good, although we assume mileage figures will vary based on the passenger complement and individual driving habits. The Routan's V6 is also capable of running on E85, a blend of 15 percent gasoline and 85 percent ethanol.

"Love the comfort, ride and storage. Best looking / style of minivan on the road. Very good gas mileage on the interstate even loaded down. Will normally get 26-27 mpg on the interstate. Had the smaller 3.8L engine in the 2009 model. This 2010 SEL was loaded with the 4.0L engine. At 70 mph is barely turns 1600 rpm. Can be very quick for a minivan. Lots of grunt and power. Very comfortable ride even on long trips."

"Bought this van new 5 years ago to replace another VW van. This one is far superior to previous one!!! A German vehicle built by Chrysler in Canada...go figure :-)) Love the way it drives and handles--very smooth and solid. Seats are generous & comfortable for long distance driving. Gas mileage is around 19-20. Overall vision is very good w/ glass all around. Control panels well designed, easy to use. Aside from regular maintenance, have had only very minor issue with one of the power windows. Didn't get a van with a lot of bells & whistles, so there's less to go wrong/repair. Overall it's well made, and a good value. Gets me where I want to go, comfortably & reliably. Would recommend :-))"

It does suck oil up pretty fast, but compared to other reviews I feel lucky thats all I really had to deal with. I drive this Van Like I am in Nascar!"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1
"I bought this van because I have only ever driven VWs. This is not a VW, however, this is a Chrysler, a fact I found out later. Roters were replaced almost immediately, calipers bad almost immediately and I am now at the point where I have to replace pads at least once every ten months and the steering wheel violently shakes whenever the brake is pressed. On two separate occasions my brakes actually caught fire. Transmission jumps every time the car switches gears. I have had it just can't wait to get rid of it."

Oct. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Qantas Airways Ltd. resumed flights today after Australia's labor regulator barred strikes that had prompted the nation's biggest carrier to ground its fleet two days ago, stranding about 80,000 passengers.
The airline jumped as much as 7.4 percent in Sydney trading, the most in two months, after Fair Work Australia granted a government request for a strike ban. Chief Executive Officer Alan Joyce halted flights at his main unit after weeks of sporadic stoppages over pay and job security that cost Qantas A$68 million ($72 million) and caused a plunge in bookings.
The ruling marks a victory for Joyce, 45, whose move to ground the fleet with no notice sparked criticism from Prime Minister Julia Gillard, union leaders, tourism operators and stranded passengers. Joyce is seeking to reverse losses at the Sydney-based carrier's international operations by setting up new ventures overseas, while also cutting jobs in Australia.
"It's been a public relations disaster but the status quo for Qantas was not sustainable," said Matt Williams, who helps manage A$17 billion of assets at Sydney-based Perpetual Ltd. "In the fullness of time, people will be back and they'll recover from the public relations side of things."
Qantas recommenced services with a flight from Sydney to Jakarta carrying 88 passengers shortly after 3:40 p.m. local time today after the Civil Aviation Safety Authority approved a resumption, a spokeswoman for the carrier said by telephone, asking not to be named in line with company policy.
The industrial-relations regulator handed down its order at about 2 a.m. in Melbourne, following more than 12 hours of hearings spread over two days. The agency also banned Qantas from locking out workers from three unions.
The decision gives the two sides 21 days to reach agreement. After that, the regulator may extend talks for another 21 days or begin an arbitration process that will impose a resolution.
Extra Flights
The carrier plans to lay on extra staff and flights to help clear a backlog of stranded travelers after canceling at least 450 services since Oct. 29. Qantas's budget arm Jetstar, regional carrier QantasLink and a unit that flies to New Zealand weren't affected by the shutdown.
"The only option that we had in response to the union action was to take our own action," Joyce said today at a televised news conference in Sydney. "The clouds have gone. Qantas will get back to where it was before this activity."
Virgin Australia
The parent of Virgin Australia, the nation's No. 2 carrier, also surged as much as 8.3 percent, the most in two months, on speculation the Qantas grounding may threaten the Flying Kangaroo's grip on the corporate-travel market. The carrier, a unit of Virgin Blue Holdings Ltd., has rebranded itself and abandoned a low-cost strategy to challenge Qantas for business- class traffic.
"This grounding could not have come at a better time" for Virgin, said Robert Bruce, an aviation analyst at CLSA Ltd. in Hong Kong. "In the medium term, corporate procurement departments are more likely to allocate a greater portion to Virgin." The Brisbane-based carrier was also adding extra flights today.
Joyce halted flights to confront engineers and baggage handlers seeking higher pay and job-security measures. Long-haul pilots have also staged protests in a bid to get the same employment conditions whether they fly for the Qantas-branded unit or Jetstar.
Richard Woodward, vice president of the Australian & International Pilots Association, said that the two sides would meet tomorrow to begin talks. Still, he said he expects Qantas to feel emboldened by the labor ruling, which may dent chances for a compromise.
"I think it will end up in enforced arbitration," he said.
Singapore Air, Tiger
The Qantas dispute may also help Singapore Airlines Ltd. win long-haul traffic and aid the carrier's budget arm Tiger Airways Holdings Ltd. in winning back passengers, CLSA's Bruce said. Tiger's Australia unit was ordered to halt flights earlier this year because of safety concerns.
"Qantas took an extreme approach," Gillard said today in a television interview on Channel 7. "It's a question of the grand inconvenience for passengers and the impact for the national economy that's concerning me," she said.
The airline rose 4.3 percent to A$1.612 in Sydney today, compared with a 1.3 percent decline for the country's benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index. The carrier has declined 37 percent this year.
Qantas has about 65 percent of Australia's domestic market and less than 20 percent of international travel. Keeping the Qantas unit's 108 planes out of the skies would have cost A$20 million a day, the airline estimated. The carrier has already lost A$68 million because of labor disputes this year, Joyce said on Oct. 28.

Morning Brew – Thursday, September 30: Maggie Q loves lesbians, Ariel Schrag does a Tegan and Sara tattoo
It's the last day of September. Kind of hard to believe! Well, we'll end it on some good notes.
Nikita star Maggie Q told E! she's psyched on being "a lesbian icon."
"I think I just sort of shut the girlie off and just go full-on butch the minute a fight starts. I've got a couple of lesbian friends who are crew on the show and they're always like, 'Dude! Maggie, dude—so cool' I'm like, I'm friends with the lesbians! That takes a lot.
It takes a lot to impress us? Sometimes, but I gotta say, Q's acting chops and body of work (heh) aside, she was the warmest, funniest and most entertaining person that graced the stage at TCA this year, so she won me over.
Donna O'Connor is a nominee for the Belfast Telegraph Woman of the Year in the Arts because of her play, A Night with George, which is about a woman in love with George Clooney. When The Belfast Telegraph asked her why George was chosen as the ultimate fantasy man, she said:
"Well, my co-writer chose him and she's a lesbian, but I guess he ticks all the boxes."
Her co-writer, Brenda Murphy, did not comment, but suffice to say she probably asked any straight woman over 40 for their celeb crush and made the choice between Clooney and Russell Crowe.
According to the UK's Telegraph, one in four Brits are "uncomfortable" with gays on television. I'd prefer them report that 3 out of 4 Brits approve, but then again, why are we asking people these kinds of questions? No one ever asks me if I'm comfortable with watching Chris Noth give Juliana Marguiles oral sex on this week's The Good Wife. (For the record, I was not comfortable with it but yes, I watched it.)
Ariel Schrag is part of a Jewish female exhibit at the Comic Art Museum in San Francisco. She selected one of her pieces "Dyke March" to include among other panels, including one in which she "tries to be more Jewish than she is."
She also talked with Crushable about a recent tattoo she designed for someone.
The last tattoo I designed was a Tegan and Sara tattoo, which was great since I love Tegan and Sara. The girl who commissioned it wanted the tattoo to reflect several of their songs. She gave me a rough description of what she wanted and I sent her several sketches until we landed on the design she liked.
A T&S tat by Ariel Schrag? That's pretty gay.
What lesbian writer hates laughing? Kids in the Hall star Scott Thompson told NY Magazine:
I remember doing Buddy Cole once and a very well-known lesbian writer was in the front row and she turned her chair around, and then all the other women in the front row turned their chairs around in solidarity. I was so furious that I directed all of my material that night directly at their angry lesbian backs.
Well, whichever one it was, she obviously has some pull. Maybe the jokes weren't funny, but at any rate, what Sarah Silverman says could prove true again: "As a lesbian, I resent your laughter. And all laughter."
There is still not a lesbian on Modern Family. Tween girl Alex (Ariel Winter) wanted to prove to her older sister that, just because she wears sensible shoes, it doesn't mean she's gay.
Hayley tries to help her sister out, saying she had her first kiss at 11.
Alex: 11?
Haley: Yeah, so you'd better get on it or he's gonna think you're a lesbian.
Alex: He's not gonna think I'm a lesbian."
Haley: I thought you were. You totally have the sandals for it.
To prove her straightness, she goes to a boy's house and says "I'm not a lesbian. I would like for you to kiss me." Unfortunately, the whole boy's soccer team hears her, and she is so embarrassed, she doesn't want to return to school.
I bet she would rather have been a lesbian. (Watch the whole episode here.)
Good news, Mistresses fans! Well, if you're in the US, anyway. Fox has hired Shelley Conn to star in a series called Terra Nova. She'll play a wife and mother (yawn) of "an ordinary family from 2149 who are transported back 85 million years to prehistoric Earth where they join Terra Nova, a colony of humans with a second chance to build a civilization." Here's an opportunity to show that lesbians have existed since the beginning of time! Somehow I'm not sure that'll be the first thing in the script.
Research magazine says we're all pretty much taking over the world. In fact, she says the LGBT community "is gaining significant traction in its quest for equality" in the areas that are of the most importance: society, technology, economics, environment and politics. The writer even uses AfterEllen.com's piece on the Rachel Maddow iPhone application as proof we're dominating life. Go gays!
Margaret Cho, Clay Aiken and others Give a Damn about equality.

I am still recovering from whatever that was, but I love the concept. Actually, I'm recovered already, although I have to screw my courage to the sticking place every time I click another of their links.
I am still recovering from whatever that was, but I love the concept. Actually, I'm recovered already, although I have to screw my courage to the sticking place every time I click another of their links.
Are you kidding me? I am DELIGHTED by this development. Now I just need to take down Alexandra Stan and Alexandra Pelosi and I can become QUEEN OF THE GOOGLE RESULTS *LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY TURNS INTO A BAT FLIES OFF INTO THE NIGHT SKY*
Everyone's thinking too short term.
Sure, he'll be a prince for the better part of his life, but remember that he'll be King one day, and then all your good Prince jokes will wither on the vine, if that's where you wither in this situation, which I'm not sure it is.
I'm not, to my knowledge, jetting anywhere, but I do have Google Glass which is like jetting to the future, every day!
The future doesn't respond to my voice commands, and I keep giving myself whiplash trying to wake it up, but, hey, baby steps.
My gosh, thank you so much! I'm delighted you came!
We are indeed completely sold out, and I could not be happier with the cast and director. We're now just trying to get people to vote for us for best comedy, not that I'm shilling. If I were shilling, I would include a link to where you can vote for us.
I've been sitting here trying to come up with an If You Give A Mouse a Book(eeeerrggh) joke for the past odd minute, but I decided that if what I was going for was to get people to read the book, this was probably not the course I should pursue. But yes, it's officially happening! The deal's been announced and everything! So stay tuned for, er, the next many months, if you are into books of humorous personal essays about drinking life to the awkward unironic lees! It's going to be very awkward, and hopefully rich in laughter. Definitely awkward.
(I hid it in the period.)
I can do something Gatz-style where a single actor just sits on the stage reading Code of the Woosters aloud in its entirety and we all emerge feeling as though we've grown as people.
How about Iple?
Once you realize that secretly any horoscope applies to you if you read it with yourself in mind, it frees you up considerably to go about your life.
Dare I ask who ol' Horsey is? I think I know, but it will be very awkward if you were secretly talking about Seabiscuit.
As A. P. Herbert once said, "There is no reason why a joke should not be appreciated more than once. Imagine how little good music there would be if, for example, a conductor refused to play Beethoven's Fifth Symphony on the ground that his audience might have heard it before."
No, I'm standing on Prince Iple.
And SDominion, naturally.
Is Thetis in the running? I feel like she's a solid sea-nymph choice, if we're going that route.
I like it better than Blue Ivy!
Even better than the odds for Lion, which is where I put my cash.
Wilde had something to say on this. At any rate he once said he could speak impromptu on any subject. "Talk about the Queen," someone said.
"The Queen is not a subject," he replied.
I just want to let you know we went through the same process there.
Man, it must be awful to be the default punchline of Ol-Horsey jokes. I wonder if there's somewhere we can send an apologetic card.
Get that kid a cover for his rose!
Unrelated, I would definitely play Royal Name Roulette. That sounds much more fun than regular (or Russian) roulette.
Oh, that works!
How's she doing?
Hail, Thetan!
The exclamation point is never overdoing it!
Honestly, I think the number of people who feel as you do is larger than it would appear from all the Breathless Coverage. I think the royals occupy a strange celebrity niche that we haven't done as good a job of filling lately, the Classy Old-Style Kempt And Well-Tailored celebrity, the sort of aspirational Here I Come In My Wool Coat You'll Never See Me Without Underpants celebrity that your grandmother likes to telephone you about and talk about as though they are cousins of yours who are doing good things with their lives. We have a lot of Oh My Goodness Can You Believe What Name Did? celebrities, but the Isn't It Just Lovely News About Blank box feels sparser than it used to, and I think the Royals are taking that one. People who like to be on a first-name basis in their minds with celebrities seem to find them especially appealing.
Aw, I liked North West! It had direction, at least.
Someday we'll have an All-Disney zone in space, but not just yet.
Royal Sonesta wouldn't even be a huge stretch!
King Gnik has a nice ring to it.
Although the vision of Alberts gently wakening "Master Wayne" does seem oddly charming.
Who's King Biscuit?
Please explain, baby boomer stoners!
"That Quasimodo guy? I think I've seen him, that name certainly rings a bell."
Speaking of names good enough for anybody, what's wrong with Yossarian?
Donald Duck, to me, is the most alarming of these examples. My feeling with animated characters is, you either put clothes everywhere, or nowhere, because -- dang it, once we notice you have a jacket, we're going to start wondering about the pants.
Wow, I'm learning a lot!
"C'mon Royals, show a little gratitude to the man whose raging hormones started this whole gravy train rolling" is one of my favorite lines today.
Elmer! I'm telling ya!
That is a great theme song. Pronunciation's even taken care of, for the most part!
...now I have, and I have to go rethink my life.
He could also go by Budweiser, or "Of Beers," depending on the formality of the setting.
I like that!
I'd root for Nigel!
I'm trying to make the author page happen, and I share more stuff there, so if you like quantity, go for that! On the regular page, I try to share only my favorite stuff, if you decide to follow that one, so it's a little less deluge-y, if that's a word.
A. P. Herbert approves!
Probably a persistent cookie.
Chip and Dale?
Oh gosh yes! Either! Or Segue!
Twain would approve.
All right, I think I'm unraveling! Speak now or forever hold your royal peace!
I'll find out and report back!

A great number of recreational cannabis proponents believe that lighting up can "open the mind" and even boost creativity. However, a new study has found evidence that shows just the opposite may occur.
Studies of substance abusers have long hinted that some people are at least partially genetically predisposed to addiction. This certainly doesn't mean they are doomed to become addicts, but it may mean that some vulnerabilities to substance abuse may be exacerbated by genetics. Now researchers have found evidence that environmental factors also have a huge, though distinct, influence on men and women.
As more Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) cases appear across the globe, two research teams have identified pre-existing drugs that could effectively treat the potentially deadly disease.

Among the 18 players participating during an informal skate Wednesday at Joe Louis Arena, perhaps the most intriguing face belonged to right-winger Daniel Alfredsson.
Will Alfredsson play this season, or won't he?
He can't even answer that question yet.
"I would love to play, there's no question, but at the same time you have to listen to your body," said Alfredsson, 41.
Last season, it was Alfredsson's back that told him to take a seat on more than one occasion and it's the state of his back that will ultimately determine whether he's back for an 18th NHL season.
"I had some issues with my back throughout the year, but nothing serious until the end when I started getting some tingling in the nerve down the right leg," said Alfredsson, 41, who also indicated he suffered numbness in his back.

"It's been OK for the last while. I've been skating a little bit in Sweden and now coming over here and doing more full skates, it feels pretty good.
"I just have to make sure that when you do it every day for a couple of weeks we'll see how it feels. We'll go from there and make sure it holds up and it's not just feeling good for a little bit and then you're in and out all year long.
"That's not what anybody wants."
Alfredsson, who led the Wings in scoring last season with 49 points, intends to meet with Wings GM Ken Holland and coach Mike Babcock prior to the start of training camp to determine his course of action.
"That's the whole key right there, he has to decide if he can play or not," Babcock said. "We don't want a part-time player, we want a full-time player, so the guy's got to be healthy, he's got to be able to skate.
Daniel Alfredsson: "If I was confident enough after the season that I would feel the same way ….I would have signed already." #redwings—

"If you start the year injured and you're 25, you got a chance to finish the year healthy. If you start the year injured and you're Alfie's age, the chance of you getting ready to go is a lot harder."

Crab house, pizza place, BBQ joint fail inspections
Updated On: Jun 12 2014 11:46:48 AM EDT
A crab house, pizza place and a BBQ joint all failed recent inspections. There is also a restaurant that's a repeat offender on this week's Restaurant Report Card cited with violations very similar to the last time we covered them.
First Celis Crab House on University Boulevard had the most high priority violations on the list: nine. Most of the problems had to do with food temperature. Shrimp and crab was way to warm to be considered safe. It was anywhere from ten to 20 degrees too warm. They also had to throw out some eggs because they were sitting out in an area of the kitchen that was 80 degrees.
Renna's Pizza on Nautica Drive was cited with four violations that could put your health at risk. Two that were easily fixed but show just how serious the state is about your health.
Employees stored motor oil and sanitizer on a shelf over food and clean pizza pie pans. According to the rules, these things have to be separated. Renna's was also warned for an expired license that they'll have to renew right away.
Woody's Bar B-Q on University Boulevard South had four high priority violations. Three had to do with food temperature.
They had to throw out collard greens with pork that were cooked the day before but hadn't been cooled properly. That's a violation that could cause a food borne illness. The inspector also found some dead roaches but none were alive which means the inspector felt there was not an active bug problem and they have it under control.
Finally Wild Wing Café on Southside Boulevard near Tinseltown is back on the restaurant report card. The inspector once again found roach excrement near the bar entrance of the kitchen and dried rodent droppings in the to-go room and liquor closet. It was cleaned up by the manager and the staff started to clean the area with the waste. They didn't find any live or dead roaches in the restaurant.
The restaurant was cleared of the problems a couple days after being warned.
We did get an email from the general manager at Wild Wing Café inviting our cameras into her kitchen. We're going to bring you that story next week.
