US 5642488 A Abstract An apparatus and method having a terminal address designation for each source, such as an end terminal. The terminal addresses have a predetermined priority assigned thereto for permitting programmed logic to categorize each terminal address into a stage for orderly sequential handling of data. The programmed logic is generally contained prior to a centralized computer and is able to manipulate a plurality of sources in a predetermined staging process. Once an assessment of priority has been determined by the system, a message is sent to each source to relay the order of priority or other similar message to permit a user to assess the timeliness of the system processing and schedule accordingly.
Claims(7) 1. A system for prioritizing electronic messages from a plurality of terminals to a centralized host computer, said terminals having a terminal addresses indicating predetermined priority levels, said system comprising:
means for reading said terminal address from each said terminal, said means communicably coupled to said terminals; means for staging said plurality of terminal addresses coupled to the centralized host computers, said staging means prioritizing the terminal address in a sequential priority; means for sending the electronic messages to the centralized host computer in said sequential priority for processing of said electronic messages; and means for notifying each said terminal of the sequential priority of its respective address terminal. 2. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein said terminal addresses are designated by categories A-D, A-E, A-F, A-G, A-H, A-I and A-J.
3. The system as recited in claim 1 wherein said means for reading comprises a computer.
4. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein said means for staging comprises a programmed logic algorithm for selectively determining the priority of each said terminal address.
5. The system as recited in claim 1 wherein said means for staging integrally is connected to the centralized host computer.
6. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein said means for sending the electronic message comprises binary code.
7. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein said means for notifying said source comprises an electronic network.
Description This invention generally relates to a method and apparatus for a host computer to stage a plurality of terminal addresses, and, in particular, a method and apparatus for permitting a centralized host computer to selectively access a plurality of terminals having a predetermined, prioritized terminal address associated therewith. In recent years, information handling has become a common task when dealing with a centralized computer networked to hundreds of terminals in remote locations. Despite the many advancements when dealing with large quantities of information being networked to numerous users, few systems have dealt with the enormous quantity of information that the airline industry deals with on a daily basis. Arguably, no other information handling system is more critical to the financial lifeline of developed countries; more vulnerable to peak periods during times of crises, such as war, natural disaster or labor strikes; or more inflexible when it comes to requiring the safe handling of critical flight information. The largest such information handling system is owned by and operated by AMR Corporation. The host computer and the world-wide network is trademarked as Sabre Systems. The Sabre System comprises six (6) IBM model ESA 9000 mainframe computers and two (2) IBM model 300 which handle an astonishing 3920 messages per second. The communication network is linked to some 300,000 end users. As can be expected, not all 300,000 possible users desire or are entitled to the same priority when peak periods demand an assessment and implementation of prioritized use. Such, peak periods include times of strike, war, natural disaster and holidays. Unfortunately, systems are not designed to handle peak loads, but instead are designed to handle normal or regular capacity of information handling. Therefore, when peak periods arrive it is necessary to prioritize the users and handle the information in a manageable manner. This prioritization is necessary to insure that certain users that demand immediate access or service obtain such, while at the same time creating a system that is fair to other users which likewise need service. In the past, the industry has recognized the need to have prioritized users. Unfortunately, the common method for prioritizing users was by line staging system which is performed at the front end of a host computer. Unfortunately, having the line staging being performed at the front end severely constrains any functional limitations. Front end staging can only stage an entire line not individual drops on a line. Therefore, if a line included one critical drop among several non-critical drops, the entire line was marked as critical. This system, therefore, did not permit a precise and efficient method for separating the critical from the non-critical users. In practice, well over half of the users were designated as critical and there was little attempt at distinguishing the degree of criticalness or a priority within groups considered critical users. Therefore, a need has arisen for a host computer staging system which stages and determines the priority of each terminal by a terminal address. In addition, a need has arisen for a non-frontend processor staging system in order to have access and ability to determine priority with respect to each terminal rather than each line. In addition, a need has arisen for a system which is not shut down an entire office at one time, but instead permits each location to have some limited access to the centralized computer system. In addition, a need has arisen for an interactive system which can signal the user that the staging process is in place, having a planned duration of such staging, and which permits the lower prioritized user to plan their day accordingly. Furthermore, a need has arisen for a staging system which is controlled by the host computer rather than by a front-end processor or a network. Furthermore, a need has arisen to have a degree of predictability for each user by having a predetermined priority for each terminal by the designation of a prioritized terminal address. Finally, a need has arisen for a system which operates efficiently and cost-effectively in an industry which handles millions of transactions daily in an effective and expeditious manner. The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for permitting a centralized host computer to selectively access a plurality of terminals having a predetermined prioritized terminal address associated therewith. In general, the apparatus comprises a terminal address assigned to each terminal wherein said terminal address has a predetermined prioritized access assigned to it. Once the terminal address has been assigned to a particular terminal, the handling of prioritization can be handled by the logic of the host computer. Once a terminal is engaged it will be networked to a front-end of a host computer. The front-end of the host computer permits the message to transfer to the host computer where logic will read and analyze the priority of the terminal address which is associated with the terminal. Once the logic has determined its priority the message from the terminal will either be permitted to continue within the host computer or will be put on stand-by. Once the priority has been determined by the logic of the host computer, a notice signal will be sent back through the front-end to the network and eventually to the terminal to permit the user to ascertain whether their message has been handled or whether they are required to wait. In operation, every device attached to the network has an assigned staging category. Staging categories range from A through T for CRTs. Category U is assigned for printers and miniinterface devices. Category V is assigned for airport exempt locations, while category Z is assigned for exempt help type devices. The CRT at each subscriber location and reservation office is assigned the appropriate staging indicator based on a distribution method that is defined by CRTs at a location which will be staged from highest terminal address to lowest terminal address across all locations. By assigning a terminal address, the system is able to readily identify a priority as it related to each terminal address and handle the information in a sequential and orderly manner. FIG. 1 illustrates a networked centralized computer of the prior art; FIG. 2 illustrates a networked centralized computer of the present invention; FIG. 3 illustrates a detailed logic diagram of the present invention; FIG. 4 illustrates the staging categories of the present invention; and FIG. 5 illustrates a summary of a test of the invention. The present invention generally relates to a method and apparatus for permitting a centralized host computer to selectively access a plurality of terminals having a predetermined terminal address associated therewith. In operation the programmed logic contained at the host computer reads the terminal address associated with each terminal and prioritizes the terminal or user is able to access the host computer. In operation, a signal is sent to the user signifying a priority and an approximate for handling of data. The invention is particularly useful for handling systems which are networked and have peak use periods at critical times such as war, strike, natural disaster or vacation periods such as those frequently exhibited by the airline industry. To more readily understand the terminology used in the particular industry and to more easily understand the subject matter of this invention, set forth below are terms and their corresponding definition. Technical staging--Turning off diagnostics and other features which are used by central site personnel to monitor and control the system. Technical staging is transparent to customers, but may affect the ability of the Operations staff to operate the systems effectively and efficiently, or to identify and correct system problems. Functional staging--Turning off applications or portions of applications so that customer functionality is restricted or inhibited. Line staging--Deleting the ability of users on a line to access SABRE, so the inputs from these users do not reach the host or consume host resources. Normally, line staging is rotated. That is, some lines are staged for a specified period, usually thirty minutes. When that period expires, a new set of lines are staged and the first set of lines are restored to service. Staging at the network--Normally line staging is performed by the front-end processors. Since the front-ends can only stage full lines and cannot stage portions of any networked lines, this feature is somewhat limited. During fare wars, lines can be turned off at the network where greater granularity is possible and where networked users can also be staged. Staging at the network allows the staging of more customers and thus makes it possible to spread the pain more generally around the customer community. Staging at the network, preferable at the source (ex: LAN Gateway) should be the ultimate goal of staging features. LNIATA--Line Number, Interchange Address, Terminal Address. The specific set address of a terminal on the old SABRE network. At one time, the line number was a two digit number. As the SABRE network grew, two hexadecimal digits were no longer enough to accommodate the number of lines on the network. Since the IA or Interchange Address was always a single digit number, but two digits were available for it, it was possible to expand the Line Number to three digits by decreasing the IA to one digit. Front-end staging is designed around this three digit line number. This means that front-end staging is very limited, since each three digit line must contain all non-critical locations for the line to be marked as stagible. For example, to stage line 2B0 all the drops ("interchanges" on 2B0 (2B01 through 2B0F) must be stagible. TA Mainframing Staging--A proposal to control staging by individual terminal address within the host mainframes. Terminals would be assigned to a specified staging group. When that group is being staged, entries coming from terminals in that group would be rejected at an early stage within TPF processing. Because these entries could be rejected quickly, the hosts could afford to handle many of them. The host terminal address (TA) staging system is a unique feature controlled by real time coverage which rejects inputs from certain predetermined Iniatas during a staging period. Every CRT or LNIATA with access to the host computer is assigned a staging group designator lettered A through T. Printers, mini computers, and all CRTs at airports and certain exempted devices are assigned a staging group lettered U through Z. When staging is necessary real time coverage determines how many staging groups will need to be staged. Only groups A through T can be staged. Groups U through V are exempt from staging. In operation, the system functions as follows. Referring now to FIG. 1, the prior art system for stating is generally designated 10. System 10 generally operates by having a work station 12 connected to a LAN 14. LAN 14 is consequently interconnected to a gateway 16 which operates as a direct connect to a communication system 18. It can be appreciated by one skilled in the art that communication system 18 can be one of several types of systems connected to a network 20. Network 20 can be a hard wire system or a microwave or radio wave system as can be appreciated by one skilled in the art. Network 20 is consequently interconnected to a communication system 22. Communication system 22 is connected to a Host computer system 32 which in prior art is initially a staging process 24 connected by way of connection 26 to a front-end processor 28. The front-end processor 28 is connected via connection communication 30 to Host Computer 32 for processing. Host Computer 32 processes the information initially inputted by the work-station 12. Now referring to FIG. 2, the present invention can be more readily understood. FIG. 2 shows a system 34 which interconnects similar to that shown in FIG. 1 with the unique exception which will be more readily understood after reviewing the entire disclosure. System 34 operates by having a work station 36 for inputting information by a user (not shown). Once the user has inputted information into work station 36, the information is sent via a LAN 38. LAN 38 is connected by one of several ways to a gateway 40. Gateway 40 operates as the point of communication between gateway 40 and a network 44 by way of communication link 42. As can be appreciated by one skilled in the art, in communication link 42 can be hard wire or wireless LAN systems which are under constant upgrade and development. Network 44 is connected by communication system 46 to a front-end processor 48. The front-end processor 48 is part of the Host system as can be appreciated by one skilled in the art. The Host system 48 is connected by way of connection 52 to a staging process 52. The staging processor 52 is consequently to the Host computer 56 by way of connection 54. As can be appreciated in contrasting FIGS. 1 and 2, the location of the staging processor and the prior art was prior to the front-end processor 28 whereas the staging processor 52 is subsequent to the front-end processor 48 and immediately the Host Computer 56. Referring now to FIG. 3, a staging diagram 58 or the internal logic of a staging system 52 can be seen. In reference to FIG. 3, it can be seen that every device attached to the network is assigned a staging category. The staging categories range between A-T are defined for CRTs, category U for printers and many interface devices and category V for airport exempt locations and category Z for exempt help desk type devices. Each category, A through T, represents roughly five (5) percent of the stagable CRTs. Referring to the logic diagram as set forth in FIG. 3, it can be seen that logic block 60 indicates that every message type that enters the host system is initially integrated. If it is not a high-speed message, then the message is allowed to follow its normal processing path to block 72. If, however, it is a high speed message, then it continues into the Host TA staging process to logic block 62. In logic block 62, the program checks the Host TA staging indicators to determine whether staging is in process. If not, the high speed message is allowed to follow the normal processing block as represented by block 74. If the staging is in process, then the flow continues to what is represented as logic block 64. In logic block 64, the program checks the inputting in LNIAA for a stage category within the currently staged groups. If it is outside the staging group, then processing is allowed to continue as normal to the block diagram represented as 74. If it is within the currently staged group, then the flow continues to logic block 66. Logic block 66 checks the current time of its input message against the current staged times. If the time is within the staged times, then the message is counted for data collection purposes as represented by block 78. And subsequently the following response will be returned back to the inputting terminal: hh.mm�RES STAGING IN EFFECT FOR SET ADDRESS lniata. SERVICE WILL RESUME AT hh.mm CST This message is represented by block diagram 80. If the current time is not within the staged time then processing continues as represented by logic diagram 68. In logic diagram 68, the program checks the current time against the warning time. If the time is not within the warning period, then the input message is allowed to continue normal processing as illustrated by block 82. If the time is within the warning time-frame, then processing continues to what is represented as logic block 70. In logic block 70, the program checks an indicator in the lniata AAA to determine if a warning message has already been sent to its terminal. If so, then processing for this input message is allowed to continue as illustrated by block 86. If not, then the indicator is turned on then the AAA as illustrated by logic block 84. And the following warning message is returned to the inputting terminal which is illustrated as: STAGING FOR THIS CRT WILL BE IN EFFECT FROM hh.mm TO hh.mm CST-COMPLETE CURRENT TRANSACTION. This message is illustrated by block diagram 88. Appreciating the internal logic of the staging system, the performance of the staging can be more readily appreciated by referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the performance of the diagram 90 shows a plot of the high speed messages per minute against the categories staged. The initial unstaged category is shown as block 92 which in this diagram illustrates a high speed message per minute of 225,000 messages per minute. Block 94 shows category A-D category. A-D category represents a high speed message per minute approximately 190,000 messages per minute. Similarly, categories A-E as represented by block 94 represents a high speed message per minute of approximately 175,000 messages per minute. Category A-F, as represented by block 98, has a high speed message of 175,000 per minute. Category A-G, as represented by block 100, has a high speed of 165,000 messages per minute. Category A-H, as represented by block 102, has a high speed message of 145,000 messages per minute. Category A-I, as represented by block 104, has approximately a high speed message of 135,000 messages per minute. Finally, block 106 represents category A-J which has approximately 140,000 messages per minute. The speed of the various categories in the more readily appreciated in considering in contrast to that of an actual host-staging test which was conducted on Feb. 6, 1994 illustrating categories A-C. A-C as shown by diagram 108 shows the high speed messages per minute for a duration of fifteen minutes. The block 110 represent the high speed messages where as block 112 represents the rejected high speed messages in comparison to the remaining high speed messages at time 3 minutes 6 seconds, 3 minutes 7 seconds, 3 minutes 8 seconds. Testing results from the Host TA Staging test dated Feb. 26, 1994 included the following information. The test was included in the regularly scheduled implementation of a control program that occurs on a quarterly basis. The test was initiated with the staging warning message at 0300 using the following entry: ZUKSG CAT-C, START-0305, END-0308. This initiated the staging warning message for five minutes beginning at 0300. All terminals with staging categories A-C received the staging warning message in response to an input message. At 0305 the terminals designated for staging in groups A-C began to see their messages as rejected due to staging with the appropriate message returned to their terminal. At 0300 the system was handling successfully 10,120 messages per second. During the three minutes during the staging test, the system observed a message rejection rate of about 9.5%. For example, at 0306, the system was offered 10,274 messages. Of those, 978 messages were returned as rejected while 9,296 continued normally with their processing. At the conclusion of the test, the message rate returned to normal within five minutes. This can be accounted for by the typical agent behavior to walk away when they realize the system will be temporarily unavailable. Coverage assigns a staging interval for the groups. As an example, Coverage may assign staging from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM for groups A through D. All devices in staging groups A, B, C and D would then be affected as follows: Within the five minutes preceding the beginning of the staging interval, each device that makes an entry will receive one warning message indicating this device will be staged. The warning message reads as follows: hh.mm.ss II RES STAGING FOR SET ADDRESS lniata WILL BEGIN AT hh.mm CST. PLEASE FINISH CURRENT TRANSACTION This warning message is generated in lieu of the normal response to whatever entry was made, so the recipient of the warning will have to reenter his/her prior entry. Devices that are not used during the five minute warning period will not receive a warning message. During the staging interval, each device that makes an entry will receive a rejecting response, indicating that staging is in progress and defining the time when staging will end. The rejecting message reads as follows: hh.mm II RES STAGING IN EFFECT FOR SET ADDRESS Iniata. SERVICE WILL RESUME AT hh.mm CST Devices that are NOT in staging groups A, B, C and D will not be affected in any way throughout the entire staging interval, in this example. Devices are assigned to a staging group via a Commercial process that keys on COSMACC/MIDAS data. All the LNIATAs at each physical location (as defined by the LOCATION field in COSMASS/MIDAS) are treated as a staging unit. The LNIATAs in each staging unit are reviewed to determine how many LNIATAs will need to be assigned to each staging group. As an example, a staging unit with 20 CRTs, 5 printers and a mini-computer will have one LNIATA in each staging group A through T, plus 6 LNIATAs in staging group U. The determination of which specific LNIATA goes in which specific staging group is accomplished via a "distribution model". For this project, six distribution models were proposed. Only one was used for the initial creation of the data base. Other distribution models may be provided in a later phase of the project, should customer needs dictate. The initial distribution model assigns LNIATAs to groups A through T by sorting the CRT/IWS LNIATAs in order from highest TA (3C) to lowest (02). Thus, a location with 60 CRTs/IWSs distributed across 3 LNIAs would be sorted as follows: LIN13C LIN23C LIN33C LIN13A LIN23A LIN33A LIN138 LIN238 LIN33B LIN104 LIN204 LIN304 LIN102 LIN202 LIN302 The logic then determines how many LNIATAs will need to be assigned to each staging group to ensure an even distribution. In this example, 3 LNIATAs will need to be assigned to each group A through T. The distribution model then assigns the first 3 LNIATAs in the sorted listed to group A, the next 3 to group B and so forth, until all CRT/IWSs have been assigned. The exempt devices (printers, minicomputers) are assigned to staging group U during this same process. A rounding feature is provided to deal with locations where the quantity of LNIATAs does not divide into the 20 staging groups evenly. If a location has only one CRT/IWS, it is assigned staging group T to effectively eliminate the possibility that this location will lose all access to SABRE. A feature similar to rounding distributes devices to staging groups evenly when a location has more than one but less than 20 CRTs/IWSs. It is important to note that virtual CRTs/IWSs are staged, just as actual CRTs/IWSs are. That means that features using a pool of AAA's to provide CRT/IWS virtuality are also affected by staging. For example, customer groups like Prodigy, EAASY and SABRE have a staging group assigned to each LNIATA in their pools of AAA's. Normally, the pooled AAA's for each customer group have the same location in the location field in COSMACC/MIDAS and thus the entire pool for each customer group is treated as one staging unit. In the event of a staging condition, these customers will be affected by staging in exactly the same way as all other non-airport SABRE locations. Some locations and functions have been specifically exempted from staging at the direction of senior management. All airport devices are exempt. This includes all CRTs/IWSs at all airports with access to PSS, whether operated by American Airlines, the American Eagle or the multihosted carriers. Additionally, certain critical functions are exempt, such as the direct links to credit cards, the control LNIATAs for Direct connect, the Help Desks and the technical operations centers. The staging group for each CRT/IWS in the system is uploaded from the Commercial database to each PSS UAT via a newly developed premise staging application. Since configuration change activity in the system can invalidate the distribution of CRTs/IWSs in the staging groups, this process is activated daily to upload any changes detected in the Commercial database, thus ensuring PSS always contains accurate staging assignments. The staging group for each CRT/IWS is stored in that device's UAT and can be displayed for each individual LNIATA by entering: OAMlniata lniata/UAT STATUS AAA ASSIGNED ORD/012345 CTYHDQ STAGEG A new entry has been provided to display the staging groups for an entire physical subscriber location. The entry is: ______________________________________PE*yyyy/STAGE (yyyy = pseudo city code)761502 M STAGEU 761502 MINI STAGEU761504 V STAGET CRT761506 V STAGEO761506 V STAGEJ761508 V STAGEE76150A V STAGEA76150C P STAGEU PTR______________________________________ Should a staging condition arise, SABRE users would be alerted via a sign-in message to display and review a staging schedule and staging procedures. Although a staging schedule entry has been provided, it is intended for technical use. The staging schedule will be copied into a STAR record containing the staging procedures so that SABRE users need reference only one source for staging information. The technical entry to display the staging schedule is: __________________________________________________________________________ZUKSG DISPLEVELCATGRY WARNTIME STARTTIME ENDTIME MSGS RETURNED__________________________________________________________________________3 C 08.55 09.00 17.30 03 B 08.55 09.00 17.30 03 A 08.55 09.00 17.30 0__________________________________________________________________________ Every device attached to the SABRE network has been assigned a staging category. Staging categories A-T are defined for CRTs, category U for printers and mini interface devices, category V for airport exempt locations and category Z for exempt help desk type devices. Various entries have been provided for identifying staging categories. Each category, A-T represents a percentage of the stagable SABRE CRTs. Each CRT at a subscriber location is assigned the appropriate staging indicator based on a distribution method that is defined as follows: CRT's at a location will be staged from highest TA to lowest TA across all LNIA's at the location, with a location being defined as a pseudo city. Once it has been determined that staging is necessary, the % of relief will dictate the staging level. ______________________________________Level 1 .sup.� 5% Stage group ALevel 2 .sup.� 10% Stage groups A,BLevel 3 .sup.� 15% Stage groups A,B,CLevel 4 .sup.� 20% Stage groups A,B,C,DLevel 20 .sup.� 100% Stage groups A,B,C,D . . . T______________________________________ Five minutes prior to a CRT being staged, a warning message will be sent to each CRT to be staged advising the customer that staging will begin at a specified time, and to complete their current transaction. The response will appear as follows: hh.mm�RES STAGING FOR SET ADDRESS Iniata WILL BEGIN AT xx.xx CST. PLEASE FINISH CURRENT TRANSACTION. hh.mm is the current time x is the staging level Iniata is the lniata of the inputting terminal xx.xx is the time staging for the terminal will begin Once staging has been initiated, a customer being staged that makes an input message will receive the following response back to their terminal: hh.mm�RES STAGING IN EFFECT FOR SET ADDRESS lniata. SERVICES WILL RESUME AT xx.xx CST. In addition to the actual staging response, the SABRE sign-in message will direct the customer to view a universal star to obtain further staging information. For AA, Multi-host, and Eagle location, N*/STAGING INFO will be viewed. For subscribers, Y/SCS/CRS will direct customers to view N*/STAGING ADVICE. These stars will contain detailed explanations of the staging process, as well as the staging schedule for the day. Since the staging categories are assigned using a mathematical formula that considers the total number of terminals for a site, any time the device make-up at that site changes, i.e. equipment changes, terminals deleted, terminals added, the model will be re-run for that site and the distribution may change. A customer should be advised during equipment changes that they should review their staging categories about a week after changes are complete to view any staging category differences. Some entries are available for all customers, while others are subscriber or AA, Multi-host and Eagle unique. Each will be identified as to the appropriate customer base that can access that information. 1. (space) cross of lorraine J entry will display your lniata's staging indicator. This is available for all customers. Note the space preceding the cross of lorraine. This response comes from SABRE, not the front-end. YOUR SET ADDRESS IS F70E02 STG-Z 2. OAM entries have been provided to identify a lniata's staging indicator. These entries are available to AA, Multi-host and Eagle customers only. ______________________________________OAMF70E02/UAT STATUSAAA ASSIGNEDORD/254126CTYFSGSTAGEZM02359T00000 Example of FSG exempt IniataUSR-AACRT-19CRTSSTMULUSRNOTDCFOAMF70E02/UAT STATUSAAA ASSIGNEDORD/254126CTYFSGM02359STAGE*T00000 Example of unassigned IniataUSR-AACRT-19CRTSSTMULUSRNOTDCFOAM17E40217E402/UAT STATUSAAA ASSIGNEDORD/153845CTY***STAGETM00000 Example of subscriber CRTT01655/G3R0USR-AACRT-19CRTSSTOAM17E43A17E43A/UAT STATUSAAA ASSIGNEDORD/132575CTY***STAGEUM00000T01655/G3R0 Example of printer deviceUSR-AAICOTPRTERMNTPRODEVBLKCOMOAM17E43C17E43C/UAT STATUSAAA ASSIGNEDORD/099254CTY***STAGEUM00000TO1655/G3R0 Example of mini interface deviceUSR-AAMINCOM______________________________________ 3) OAM display for entire LNIA. ______________________________________OAM 17E4TA STTUS AAAORD USR CTY****OTHER UAT ATTRIBUTES ****02 ACTIVE 153845 AA G3R0 STAGET T01655 CRT-19 CRTSST04 ACTIVE 153846 AA G3R0 STAGES T01655 CRT-19 CRTSST06 ACTIVE 153847 AA G3R0 STAGER T01655 CRT-19 CRTSST08 ACTIVE 153848 AA 63R0 STAGER T01655 CRT-19 CRTSST0A ACTIVE 153849 AA G3R0 STAGEQ T01655 CRT-19 CRTSST0C ACTIVE 153850 AA G3R0 STAGEQ T01655 CRT-19 CRTSST0E ACTIVE 153851 AA G3R0 STAGEP T01655 CRT-19 CRTSST10 ACTIVE 153852 AA G3R0 STAGEP T01655 CRT-11 CRTSST CRTHLF ------ ------ ------12 ACTIVE 153853 AA 63R0 STAGEO T01655 CRT-19 CRTSST14 ACTIVE 153854 AA G3R0 STAGEN T01655 CRT-19 CRTSST16 ACTIVE 153855 AA G3R0 STAGEN T01655 CRT-19 CRTSST18 ACTIVE 153856 AA 63R0 STAGEM T01655 CRT-19 CRTSST1A ACTIVE 153857 AA G3R0 STAGEL T01655 CRT-11 CRTSST CRTHLF ------ ------ ------1C ACTIVE 153858 AA G3R0 STAGEK T01655 CRT-11 CRTSST CRTHLF ------ ------ ------1E ACTIVE 153859 AA G3R0 STAGEJ T01655 CRT-19 CRTSST20 ACTIVE 153860 AA 63R0 STAGEI T01655 CRT-19 CRTSST22 ACTIVE 153861 AA G3R0 STAGEH T01655 CRT-19 CRTSST24 ACTIVE 153862 AA G3R0 STAGEH T01655 CRT-11 CRTSST CRTHLF ------ ------ ------26 ACTIVE 153863 AA G3R0 STAGEG T01655 CRT-19 CRTSST28 ACTIVE 153864 AA G3R0 STAGEF T01655 CRT-11 CRTSST CRTHLF ------ ------ ------2A ACTIVE 153865 AA G3R0 STAGEE T01655 CRT-19 CRTSST2C ACTIVE 153866 AA G3R0 STAGEE T01655 CRT-11 CRTSST CRTHLF ------ ------ ------2E ACTIVE 153867 AA G3R0 STAGED T01655 CRT-11 CRTSST CRTHLF ------ ------ ------30 ACTIVE 153968 AA G3R0 STAGEC T01655 CRT-19 CRTSST32 ACTIVE 153869 AA 63R0 STAGEC T01655 CRT-19 CRTSST34 ACTIVE 153870 AA G3R0 STAGEB T01655 CRT-19 CRTSST36 ACTIVE 153871 AA BY80 STAGEB T09868 CRT-11 CRTSST CRTHLF ------ ------ ------38 ACTIVE 153872 AA BY80 STAGEU T09868 MINICOM ------3A ACTIVE 132575 AA G3R0 STAGEU T01655 ICOTPR TERMNT PRODEV BLKCOM ------ ------3C ACTIVE 099254 AA G3R0 STAGEU T01655 MINICOM ------______________________________________ 4) A subscriber may use the following entry to display its entire office.

In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) determinations concerning whether to construct projects in-house or by private contractor based on the more economical of the two approaches.
TVA does not have a procedure to compare the cost of construction using TVA employees to the cost of using a private contractor. Although TVA does not routinely compare costs, GAO found that evaluation of some of the comparisons made did not disclose that construction by private contractor was more economical than in-house construction. A task force recommended that TVA adopt a process that would result in a well-documented decision, considering all appropriate factors. GAO concluded that more specific supplementary actions need to be taken and instructions developed to ensure that valid cost comparisons are made and that all criteria are considered.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: While there is still some relevancy to this recommendation, current actions will be followed up through report RCED-83-123.
Recommendation: The Board of Directors, TVA, should develop procedures and criteria to implement the task force recommendation.

More configurable unresolved template variables handling
Reported by: | zimnyx | Owned by: | nobody |

So far there is one solution to debug unresolved template errors: settings.TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID. It doesn't offer to much control over what happens when such error occurs. Main motivation for creating this ticket was lack of possibility to track template var errors on production (TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID=).
My proposition to overcome mentioned limitation is to allow three levels of template error handling:
- IGNORE (current default)
- WARNING: possibility to track errors in production mode (when TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID=)
- EXCEPTION: easily find errors when debugging
How about this?

Interactive iPad Scatterplots
Another research project from this year that tackles multi-touch visualizations: Ramik Sadana's and John Stasko's Designing and implementing an interactive scatterplot visualization for a tablet computer. The authors came up with several neat interaction techniques for massaging the data presented in a scatterplot in various ways.
When I saw the excellent presentation by Ramik at AVI 2014 back in May, I was very reminded of my own Touchwave project - different visualization technique (scatterplots instead of stacked graphs), but related interactions based on the vocabulary of the iPad. I guess just one more such touchification paper until we see a taxonomy for touch-based interactions published...
Anyway, here's the video:
Kinetica (CHI 2014) goes DataSquid
I've been meaning to mention this project for a while now: Kinetica: Naturalistic Multi-touch Data Visualization by Jeff Rzeszotarski and Niki Kittur from Carnegie Mellon's HCI team is a fascinating look at what interaction with data can be like when you start from a purely touch-based premise.
The basic idea is to have every data point as an actual point on screen and give people several physics-inspired tools to explore it. Tools shown in the video are "walls" that filter for certain criteria and free-form "magnets" that attract data points, again based on certain criteria:
This concept was so appealing that Kinetica spawned a startup: DataSquid takes the same approach and lets you analyze your data using these multi-touch physics. Here's a demo from their website:
It's still invite-only, but it looks like it could have a great future! Dare I say Multi-touch Tableau?
Everything except the chart - tutorial at IEEE VisWeek 2014
Moritz Stefaner and I gave a tutorial at this year's IEEE Visweek in beautiful Paris. In 'Everything except the chart' we summarized everything we've learned about how to develop complex, web-based visualizations - except how to build the charts themselves. We've talked about things like our development process (Coffeescript, SASS, grunt, etc.), how to social media, and how WebGL is the hottest new thing out there for 3D piecharts (irony is hard on twitter!).
Anyway, you can find our code examples here and the slides right here (click to focus and navigate with arrow keys).
Multi-touch cleaving
(via @blprnt)
Today I stumbled upon a quite nice interaction technique that The Office for Creative Research developed for their Specimen Box project (in conjunction with Microsoft's Digital Crimes Unit). Their 'cleaving' lets people split the visualization into two with a simple two-handed gesture. This, of course, works especially well on a nice large digital display:
The whole project is chock-full of interesting touch-based interactions, so check out all videos about Specimen Box.
Selfiecity and OECD Regional Well-Being win KANTAR Information is beautiful awards
In yesterday's KANTAR Information is beautiful awards both Selfiecity and OECD Regional Well-Being scored big: we won Gold and Silver in the 'Website' category! Congrats to the teams and the other winners!
Animated transition for details-on-demand on mobile
Here's a nice little chart interaction technique built by Simon Rood in FramerJS that I stumbled upon on Facebook. On a desktop, showing details-on-demand is pretty much always done using hovering, but on mobile it's still tough (see my JSConfEU talk). Simon's animated transition looks like a smart way to do it:
JSConfEU talk online: Web-based vis on mobile
Back in September I gave a talk at the great JSConfEU 2014. The conference was three days of nerdy Javascript-details - highly enjoyable! My talk was on data-vis on mobile devices and I tried to shed light on some of the gritty details that Moritz Stefaner and I discovered over the various responsive projects we did. It also gave me the chance to conserve my beard in video-form for all eternity.

Digital Dreams recently released Metrico, a game for the Playstation Vita, whose marketing focused on its infographics-inspired aesthetics. The game boasts a minimal and geometric style and is filled with all your favorite charts - yes, even pie charts! From a game perspective, however, Metrico is less than stellar and it would be a disappointment if this was the best Infographics: The Game we ever got.
Read more…HTML5 Geolocation and User Experience
The W3C introduced a new client-sided way to detect a visitor's location with the HTML5 Geolocation API. For the OECD Regional Well-Being project, we decided to give this new way of learning about a visitor a try and get them started with the visualization in their home region. However, actually providing them with a nice user experience while moving through this somewhat complex process proved to be difficult. In this post, I'll discuss our issues and workarounds.

Well-being exists on a scale from the individual to whole countries. In the OECD Regional Well-Being project - a part of OECD's Better Life Initiative - we dive deeper into this hierarchy: the interactive, web-based visualization shows various aspects contributing to quality of life for over 300 regions all over the world. In this post I'll discuss the project as a whole and its design decisions (with more technical posts coming up).

GeForce 9500 GT review -
12 - The Conclusion
The Verdict
Product: | GeForce 9500 GT Overclock |
Manufacturer: | Galaxy |
SKU code: | - |
Information: | website |
Street price: | 89-99 USD | 79 EUR |
Before we start the conclusion of this review I really need to remind you guys that this is a budget card, an entry level card, and at this budget it's just doing really well. I say this because the Guru3D audience is very mainstream and high-end oriented. And looking downwards from that perspective, performance like shown today would be laughed at.
Fact is that not everybody can spend more than a 100 USD on a graphics cards to play games. A lot, seriously a LOT of people will play games at 1024x768 or 1280x1024 while refusing to spend more than 100 bucks. Products like these simply offer good value. Whether you like to play games, do a little Blu-ray decoding or just generic PC usage. The framerate "budget" for cards like these is just really good.
With this product Galaxy definitely set a new standard in the budget range of products though. Never have I seen a product in this price-category so pimped up. Excellent clocks, good overclockability, sound and excellent PCB design. Heck they even slapped a custom cooler on top of the product. The end-result is an extraordinary performing and looking product, within it's defined product category. Props to Galaxy for doing so.
This is an entry level product. Expect prices from 60 to 99 USD. And though I'd gladly invest a little more money on my gaming experience with a GeForce 9800 GTX+ or Radeon HD 4850, for under a 100 bucks, this is just not bad folks, not bad at all. Good value.

The 215.4-ft by 46-ft Dutch flagged, multi-purpose construction, dive and ROV support vessel Noordhoek Singapore (ex-Serviceman, ex-Smit Marlin, ex-Smit-Lloyd 61) was sold by Noordhoek Offshore BV of Zierikzee, The Netherlands to Nigerian buyers. Marcon had previously brokered the purchase of the vessel to Noordhoek in 2000. Originally built in 1977 by Scheepswerf "De Wall" BV of The Netherlands as the Smit-Lloyd 61 for Smit Nederland BV, the vessel is powered by a pair of Bolnes 14VDN150/600 two-stroke diesels producing a total of 4,200BHP to 2.5m diameter CP props in kort nozzles. After purchasing, Noordhoek converted the vessel in 2001 to her current trade as a DP-2 support vessel in the North Sea. Maneuverability was enhanced with a Kongsberg SDP-21 dynamic positioning system, her linked Becker rudders, 260kW tunnel bow thruster, 735kW retractable azimuthing thruster and 260kW aft mounted tunnel thruster. The dive system, complete with an air, mixed gas dive station and TUP dive system, included one 1800 and one 2100 triple lock decompression chamber, a dive control room, two hydraulically operated dive "A"-frames complete with wet bell basket and a third "A" frame for either a tool basket or ROV handling. Noordhoek Singapore can accommodate 14 crew and 22 passengers in 19 fully air conditioned quarters. Deck gear consisted of a Kenz 25 tonnes telescoping crane, plus she also could be fitted with an optional four-point mooring system and 100 tonnes "A" frame. With all these features and her excellent station-keeping capabilities the Noordhoek Singapore performed a wide range of roles in the offshore industry well. When the new generation, purpose-built, DP-2 saturation vessels Noordhoek Constructor (249 ft) and Noordhoek Pathfinder (203 ft) joined the fleet, the Noordhoek Singapore became surplus and was put on the market. The new Owners have renamed the vessel Singapore Explorer and scheduled her to promptly start work in the Nigerian offshore oilfields as platform maintenance and inspection vessel. Singapore Explorer now is 33 years old and only seems to show her age through the design of the vessel. She was in very good condition at the time of the sale and hopefully will serve her new Owners well for many years into the future. Marcon acted as sole broker in the sale.

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month
Pros:very cheap and has a reflective red in the back of the mirror.
Cons:it's too small for you can see the cars in the mirros , for example , but the real problem is that the support is too soft and while you are ridding the vibration causes it to be almost useless.
OtherThoughts:the support is too soft, I have to use a blck tabe , ( that kind we use to isolate eletric wires) to increase the softness of the support.
Bottomline:forthe price we can not expect any miracle. if you use it and have that small mirror that you attach to the helmet it's ok.

I am a fan of Dior Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum, though the name is misleading. This is really a white colored lash primer that helps to lengthen lashes and add plenty of volume before you apply your regular mascara. As long as you evenly coat mascara on, the white color isn't visible. I only use this for nighttime looks and occasionally during the day, if appropriate, since it definitely plumps up my lashes. I have long lashes as is, that aren't that thick, so this just gives that added oomph that makes my eyes pop. The key to perfect application is in making sure there isn't too much product on the wand (it's plastic), otherwise it is very easy to over-apply and get stuck together lashes--I find that lightly wiping the edge of the wand agains the side of the opening of the tube helps a lot. I apply with a light hand, making sure to coat lashes evenly and focus on lengthening the shorter lashes/any sparce areas, if needed. I apply mascara right away, since results are better/application much easier when the product is still semi-wet (I usually use ELF Volume Plumping mascara). I definitely get much plusher, done up glam lashes when I use this, and if I really want to go for the falsie look, I just apply more than I usually would. I haven't experienced excess lash loss when using this, as it removes easily with facewash and jojoba oil. I haven't used it as a nighttime serum, since I just dab on jojoba oil at night to keep my lashes moisturized. As a lash primer, this stuff is fantastic.

Totally in LOVE with this Lash Maximizer. I have learnt about it occasionally from a review in YouTube and decided to give it a go.
Not only it plumps and volumizes your eyelashes, it also takes care of them with these two ingredients:
1. Hyaluronic acid molecules with plumping properties
2. Dior unrivalled Lash Maximizer ingredient, which stimulates lash growth
Because of these ingredients you can apply it before going to bed and the Maximizer will take care of your lashes while you sleep :)
The serum is white and look like frost when you apply it, but it gets absorbed easily and is not visible under a coat of black mascara.
Here is my video review about it. On Left eye I have the Lash Maximizer + Mascara, and on Right just mascara:

As far as plumping my lashes, meh
..they did appear a bit thicker, but the lash plumping serum caused my lashes to clump when I applied mascara.

I haven't tried Lash Serums or Lash Primers before using this, so I don't have any comparisons to whether this works better than other lash treatments. But I can personally say that this has made a big difference to my lashes. I use it as a primer under my mascara, and my short, straight asian lashes completely transform into long fluttery lashes!
I hate fibre mascaras as I find them a little too unnatural and clumpy, and just all together messy to work with. This is fibre-free, and the effect it gives is much cleaner and natural. I've used this under Benefit's They're Real, and Mac's Studio Sculpt Lash - both have different drama levels, and both look way better with the Lash Maximizer than they do on their own.
I am completely head over heels in love with Dior's Backstage Pros line which incudes the Rosy Glow blush, the Lip Glow Balm and Lip Maximizer Gloss. All of these products really add beautiful, sophisticated finish that I don't get with other brands/products.

I was looking for something to "lock in" my mascara so it didn't run or smear on my bottom lashes especially. I used to use Shellac by benefit but that's been discontinued and nothing's worked for me as a replacement. The makeup counter lady told me that this primer would help do what I needed and that it would "change my life." Well I wouldn't go THAT far but it does work! My mascara doesn't smear the way it used to and I think my lashes look generally fuller and healthier. So far I've had this tube for at least 5 months so it seems to last a long time and that's me using it every week day and and some weekends as well. Thumbs up!

Bologna coach Alberto Malesani concedes their 3-0 defeat by AC Milan may put off potential investors.
The Rossoblu had only conceded three goals at the Dall'Ara all season, but lost 3-0 this afternoon to end an unbeaten home record.
"The first goal was thanks to an incredible Zlatan Ibrahimovic assist," said the Coach.
"Ibra also sparked the second, while he scored the third. It has to be said, the Swede made the difference on the field today.
"A three-goal gap is too much, but we must also admit that Milan are the strongest side we have faced up until now."
Bologna were docked a point due to financial irregularities and could have yet more taken off, as the club seeks to avoid bankruptcy.
"So far we have earned 20 points, which isn't exactly small fry," continued Malesani.
"I hope this defeat will not discourage potential buyers for the club. The city is embracing this squad during difficult circumstances and I hope from tomorrow we can see the light at the end of the tunnel."

Nov 13, 2012Awful game, to think people thought that this abomination to the gaming industry was going to be anything different from its predecessors are some of the most delusional fools i have ever encountered. Same engine, same over the top and absolutely dreadful campaign, terrible rehashed zombies, and an unbalanced multiplayer. Who would want this game?
Nov 13, 2012
Nov 13, 2012The game is extremely weak, repetitive. The campaing is awful, the multiplayer is boring, every year a Call of Duty game is release and every year it's basically the same thing: tedious and awful.
Nov 13, 2012
Nov 13, 2012
Nov 13, 2012i see all kids crying and grip about why this game is so low rate.. its simple this game sucks balls, play halo 4 if you want futuristic game this is another AD/HD shooter like every year.... sry my bad english..
Nov 17, 2012I give it a zero for the fact that no major changes were made to the game besides the new killstreak system.There is almost no reason to buy this game other than saying you got the new COD. When in reality if you had MW3 in your collection you don't need this.
Nov 13, 2012Do not know why i wasted my money on this franchise again.
Graphics are still **** gameplay is the same, campaign is still heavily scripted and very linear and the strike force missions are ALRIGHT at best
cannot wait for mw4 -.- -

Nov 15, 2012Horrible. This feels like 2 steps backward in game play. Really bummed at it's arcade like feel and look. Tried to like it but I can't.
Blops I was my favorite game - and I was hoping for this game. But it's really just crappy comparatively speaking. Major let down. Games are short, you can't get pro perks anymore, no rewards for skill. Blah. -
Nov 13, 2012Absolute trash. Complete rehash of its predecessor in the most literal sense. Please my fellow gamers I care about your christmas money. Save your time and resources.
Nov 13, 2012More of the same but now with a ridiculous story. The futuristic plot makes no sense at all. Multiplayer feels like Previously Call of Duty Games (MW and BO)I have it on sale now!
Nov 13, 2012
Nov 13, 2012Activision wont be able to keep this up forever. People are realizing that this series has degenerated into a yearly rehashing of old gameplay and graphics. The worst part is that I will probably end up buying it like everyone else, just to see if it's any better than the last piece of crap they released.
Nov 13, 2012Game is boring just like I was expecting. Went to my friends house to at least give it a try. Gameplay is boring. Graphics look exactly the same as Black Ops. Multiplayer is unbalanced. I have no clue how reviewers are saying the killstreaks are balanced. It actually seems worse than mw3. Do yourself the favor and don't buy the game. Buy Assassins Creed 3 or any game for that matter instead.
Nov 13, 2012Game play: 2007
Graphics: Sega Genesis
Sound effects: think cheap made in China fireworks
Whats new: you lost 60 bucks
I feel bad for those who bought this game merely to play with their friends. Those who felt socially obligated to buy the game hopefully can take it back and use the money for a better game like Halo 4. -

Nov 14, 2012
Nov 13, 2012MW3 was a huge disappointment. Guns with no recoil and ridiculous shooting power, lag, pathetic split screen...you all know.
BLACK OPS 2 - WTF Activision?! Maps are MICROSCOPIC. I get shot in the back every 5 seconds because of CRAP SPAWNS. BORING multiplayer.....I love BO1, it's my #2, but this is a disgrace. Guns kill instantly no matter what range you're at. I'm going back to W@W. bye. -

Nov 14, 2012This game is worse than the first black ops mwf is were it's at black ops controls are jerky and not smooth like mwf. Black ops is unrealistic. They made it harder to earn kill streak packages it's just a horrible game all around wish I could get my money back
Jan 22, 2013This is not to say it's a bad game, it's just not different enough from previous Call of Duty titles. The story isn't memorable, the maps and weapons aren't any different to what we've previously experienced, the gameplay is near identical to previous games, and when it's not identical it falls flat and fails to impress.
Jan 19, 2013It's fun, and an indication that Treyarch is willing to explore ideas that Infinity Ward has thus far ignored. [Issue#93, p.74]
Jan 7, 2013If the original Black Ops was Treyarch's coming-out party, then Black Ops 2 is the studio's affirmation that their COD expertise was no flash in the pan. If you're one of the 16 people who hasn't played this gem yet, go buy it now. Conversely, if you're among those who bought the game but hasn't ventured into the single-player campaign (yes, it happens), there's a great narrative and divergent gameplay awaiting your experimentation, so check it out.

We doctors take pride in the fact that we can basically sleep standing up. Anytime, anywhere. But, it's a false pride because the truth is after twenty hours without sleep you might as well just come to work drunk, doctor or not. So it's no wonder that fatal medical errors increase at night when we doctors are proudly sleeping on our feet. Recently our communal pride has been shattered and our egos have been wounded by new laws that require we sleep all day before we work all night. We are not happy about it. But, as someone who might need medical care, you really should be.

Read on how the Provost affirms U-M commitment to diversity and inclusion.
The Center for Engineering Diversity and Outreach (CEDO) programs are a key component in keeping Michigan a leader in developing highly sought-after engineering talent. The diversity of the student body at Michigan Engineering—now among the most diverse engineering schools nationwide—enhances the intellectual experience for all students on campus, and creates an atmosphere for learning that lives up to the Michigan tradition of "Leaders and Best."
Recognizing the importance of diversity of thought and the modern imperative for cross-cultural competence, we first seek to attract a diverse population of students to engineering, and then to ensure that these students are fully included in the college experience and that all students have the opportunity to experience success within a diverse college.
"Preparing Engineering Students for a Diverse, Global Workforce"
