Apples and star apples (and everything else)
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
There's a stall on Timog selling Pambansang Lechon. How can any nationalistic soul pass up a product like that! I told my driver to buy one-half kilo. Before we sat down to eat I made my grandsons put their hands over their chests and recite:
I love the Philippines
It is the land of my birth;
It is the home of my people
It protects me and helps me to be strong, happy and useful…
Then I read in Krip Yuson's column that there's a bespoke beer called Katipunan. That's a bit harder. Do we prick our fingers to put a few drops of blood into the brew before drinking it?
What's new about all that? said Bong de la Torre. Meron na ngang Pambansang Kamao (Manny Pacquiao), Pambansang Ena-Momi Dionesia, Pambansang Bakla (Ricky Reyes).
Later on, my two naughty grandsons were suggesting "gracious" excuses I could give for refusing attendance to some event:
"She's having a tattoo."
"She's having her navel pierced."
"She's got Mad Cow disease (Madali 'yan lola, matagal ka ng meron niyan!)"
"She's planning an insurrection."
"She was summoned to the Vatican."
"She's communing with the lilies."
"She's out of body."
Furious at Facebook!
I am just sitting here utterly minding my own business when I find that I have three Facebooks, none of them opened by me! Isn't it a cybercrime to open a Facebook pretending to be someone (me) and even answering letters people send (me)? Irony is, I can't even find out what's in them because I have no true Facebook of my own!
I ignored it for a long time, hoping those Facebooks will die a natural death, but they didn't. Then one day an old friend from Malabon, whom I hadn't seen for several decades, wrote me an open letter in her Facebook, citing several specific locations in Malabon where my relatives live… I think that's dangerous!
A lot of nice people I do know have even asked to be my "friend." I wonder if the keeper of those fake sites accepted them, and, if not, do my friends think I'm snubbing them? If someone is answering them, who is it? And if he or she does, what does that awful creature say?
This multiple impersonation has been reported by us to Facebook. They cancelled one, but it was soon replaced by another! I am fuming and demand an answer!
Chicken eggs corn feed?
Laid Poultry Supply
Contact Rhorie
I'm still wondering how these current corruptions got so popular: "No worries" for "don't worry"; "Sakto!" instead of "Exacto!" Did its users get it from the Coke commercial, or did the commercial get it from the people? "Okay na pu ito?" to mean, "Are you through?" or "Shall I take away the used plates?" from waitresses and maids alike.
Lanelle's birthday
Many, many Sundays ago was Lanelle's 58th birthday party in Crescent Moon. It was a lugaw party with 58 condiments, from century eggs, to tofu of all kinds, to pickles, to salted fish and shredded pork and beef and chicken. And the table stretched from end to end.
More or less 300 guests came, and I met the Antipolo cream and some Manila cream (and custard, too) and they overflowed to the garden by the carp pools.
Lanelle and my departed son Bey's older daughter, Majalya (Jali), is now in Zanzibar (Africa) on a practicum for the course she's taking up in Washington; it has to do with some sustainable environmental ek-ek, and she's very excited about it.
The younger girl, Chin Chin, is out of the country, too. She is a UP graduate of drama, specializing in dance. She is in Hong Kong for a contractual Disneyland dancing job. I told her she would die of cold in those short tutus and she will starve because she can't eat any of that nice Chinese food because she has to keep to a certain unreasonable weight. But her friends all think it's a dream job so she won't listen to me.
They're my first apos who are staying abroad for longer than usual and I was so sad about it. They are both single and very pretty. Who knows if they will not fall in love and marry some dumb foreigner and never come back!
The winds have brought down the red-brown leaves of the old santol tree. They are rolling all over the cement of the carport and the stones of the garden with a sad, dry rustle. Curled up and withered, the leaves remind me of old age and make me sad. Soon they will go into the compost pit to decay.
Above, however, the bower has sprouted small orange flowers, attracting some of the new migratory birds. They are swifts, tiny and impertinent, and go ssssst! ssssst! with a kind of whistle, just like sassy street boys trying to attract attention. Since I'm all alone I assume the whistle is for me, and I smile.
Soon, however, the resident fantails, the noisy tarat, frighten the swifts away with their ratatatat. They claim back their feeding station. I sigh and go back to my newspaper and its bad news.
Mango of my pie
Let me end on a happier note with an anonymous "poem" I once got by e-mail.
You are the
Apple of my eye
Mango of my Pie
Palaman of my tinapay
Teeth of my suklay
Blood of my atay,
Bubbles of my laway
Sala of my bahay
Foundation of my tulay
Seeds of my palay,
Clothes from my ukay-ukay,
Calcium in my kalansay
Calamansi of my siomai
Knot of my tie
Toyo of my kuchay
Vitamins in my gulay
Airplane of my Cathay
Stars of my sky
Hammer of my panday
Sand of my Boracay
Sultan of my Brunei
Highland of my Tagaytay
Mole of my Ate Guy
Spinach of my Popeye
Sizzle when I fry
Wind when I paypay
Tungkod when I am pilay
Feeling when I'm high
Shoulder when I cry
Wings when I fly
Prize when I vie
Cure to my "aray"
Answer to my "why"
The life after I die
Leftover paintings
I am inviting those who are interested in purchasing, at low prices, my old paintings left over from former shows to tea on April 5, 3-5 p.m. Please leave name and telephone or cellphone with Aiko or me (tel. 4113048).

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will be urged to give the go-ahead for realigning Mysore–Nanjangud highway to facilitate extension of the runway of Mysore airport.
Mysore MP A.H. Vishwanath, who reviewed the project here on Saturday, said the Karnataka Industrial Area Development Authority (KIADB) would be directed to acquire 158 acres of land to be handed over to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to take up road diversion.
Likewise, the KIADB will be directed to acquire additional 142 acres of land for the runway expansion, he said.
Mr. Vishwanath said a coordination committee will be constituted to keep up the pressure on different stakeholders and to review the progress, while a meeting of the Chief Minister and the Union Civil Aviation Minister along with senior officials of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) will be held in New Delhi in due course. There was also a demand for early morning departures from Mysore and this would be discussed with the Director General of Civil Aviation and other authorities, he said.
He said the previous government had a negative approach towards the Mysore airport expansion, but the present Congress government was positive about it. "This is a long term project that will have a bearing on industrial development and tourism expansion of Mysore, and hence we do not want to rush through the highway expansion as investment should not become redundant if airport was to be expanded at a later stage," he said.
The Centre had sanctioned Rs. 140 crore for upgradation of Mysore airport but this was not fully utilised by the BJP Government in the State.
This money may lapse if no steps were initiated now and infrastructure projects like airport expansion cannot be stalled on the grounds that the cost of land acquisition has gone up, he added.
The NHAI representatives said the four-laning of Mysore–Nanjangud road was taken up consequent to a communiqué by the then State government that it would not go ahead with airport expansion.
However, it was pointed out that the NHAI had also approved the plans for highway realignment subject to the State providing the land.
The Mysore airport is spread over 475 acres and the second stage expansion plan requires an additional 330 acres of land, of which 188 acres had already been acquired.
On expansion, wide-bodied aircrafts like A-320 and B-737 can be operated from Mysore.

Unfortunately I think Say Chi Sin Lo is mostly correct above.
But "partial" can mean so many different things, in your partial tear.
And if it has been a while since an exam and imaging, the process may have changed, or even a new problem is present.
Won't it really come down to visiting a trusted physician to determine your best course of action?
Also, I want to add to the fact that sometimes, the torn pieces of partial tears can get "caught". And I can't imagine that being fun at all.
Partial tears generally don't require surgeries, the body can take care of it. Unless the pieces get caught/trapped within the join and the torn pieces are just shaved off during the surgery. Or, if the partial tear is approaches to that of a complete tear, AND/OR the patient requests to return at/near pre-injury performance level.
I was the latter with my shoulder. Had a partially torn supraspinatus and posterior labrum, told my doctor I want to return to pre-injury performance level. So he went in and cleaned up the mess, essentially putting the joint in the best possible environment to heal.

Defendng AMA champion Baker Wins At Calistoga
Brad Baker finally had the kind of race befitting a national champion Saturday night, winning the AMA Pro Flat Track Expert feature event at Calistoga Speedway to turn around an otherwise disappointing season.
"I really needed that," said the defending titleholder from Eatonville, WA. about his only win this year. "It's been an up and down year," added Baker, who broke his arm earlier in the season and missed part of the AMA Pro tour.
Baker showed his championship form by coming from mid-pack and picking off contenders for this year's title one by one until he claimed the race lead near the half-way point of the 25 lap event on the half mile oval. He qualified in the bottom half of the field earlier in the afternoon, forcing him to start in the second spot of the second row, with two of this year's three contenders in the row ahead of him. "I knew we had a good bike, but we needed to put all the pieces together," said Baker. "We second-guessed ourselves all night on the set-up, but we got it right by the main event. This win felt good because I had to start in the back and pick off the best.
Behind Baker, the championship fight got a new leader with one race left on the tour while Bryan Smith saw his effort to nail down the title literally go up in smoke as he was disqualified by race officials for oiling down the race track, wiping out a run from deep on the grid to what appeared to be a third place finish.
As a result, the only two riders with a chance to unseat Smith finished on the podium, with two-time champion Jared Mees finishing second and Pennsylvania's Jake Johnson claiming third. Mees, of Clio, MI, turned a nine point deficit in the standings into a thirteen point advantage as the AMA Pro Flat Track series heads to the season finale Oct. 11 in Pomona.
Smith's disappointment hung in the air as thick as the blue haze that his bike left at the end of each straightaway while he carved his way through the field and ignored official's attempts to get him off the track. "What! Are you kidding," said Smith angrily about the swing in the point standings. Immediately after the race, he formally protested the finish to the AMA Pro organization, which will evaluate it before the Pomona finale. "I saw the black flag," Smith admitted, but said he couldn't read the bike number displayed by race officials and didn't know it was for him.
In the junior race for Pro Singles, rookie Davis Fisher claimed his first career victory after claiming a string of five runner-up finishes in his first year as a professional rider. The sixteen year old dominated the Pro Singles event, starting from the pole after setting the quickest qualifying time, winning his heat and running away from the field to win by nearly a full straight-away after his closest challenger, Jarod Vanderkool, fell off the pace in the closing laps.
"I knew Vanderkool was there," said Fisher, about the rider who hounded him in a two-man race that left the rest of the field to contend for third. "I just put my head down and got the job done."

Well, it is a sales only event for some years now. The model contest was dropped a few years back. The February one is the February 24 at the usual venue, DuPage County Fairgrounds, Exhibition Building, 2015 West Manchester Rd, Wheaton IL
Posted 01 February 2013 - 10:37 AM
I believe it is advertised in the latest issue of the "other" mag and don't forget the NNL and swap meet in April on the 13th & 14th.
Posted 01 February 2013 - 05:40 PM
I also checked the "other" mag last few issues and there is no mention of the DuPage show. I also do not see it mentioned on the county website list of events.

Whoa Mike, as the DuPage show did NOT take out an ad in the latest issue of the "other" mag and I stand to be corrected. Yes that is the Milwaukee NNL and if you've never been there, you won't be disappointed as we usually have 600+ models on the tables as well as club displays, a great raffle, and great music and PA system all day long. Photographers are shooting pics for upcoming issues of the model car mags also.The swap meet is the following day (Sunday) at the Waukesha Expo Center.

Criticism of immigration bill from left and right
WASHINGTON To some conservatives, it's amnesty.
To some immigration advocates, it's unnecessarily punitive.
The Senate's new bipartisan immigration bill drew criticism from the right and from the left Tuesday - convincing members of the bipartisan "Gang of Eight" that wrote it that they're on the right track.
"This has something for everybody to hate," said Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz.
Said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., "No one gets everything they want."
Schumer and another leader of the effort, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., met with President Barack Obama on Tuesday to brief him on the bill, a top second-term priority for the president. Obama issued a statement after the meeting supporting the Senate effort and urging action.
"This bill is clearly a compromise, and no one will get everything they wanted, including me. But it is largely consistent with the principles that I have repeatedly laid out for comprehensive reform," Obama said. "I urge the Senate to quickly move this bill forward and, as I told Sens. Schumer and McCain, I stand willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that comprehensive immigration reform becomes a reality as soon as possible."
The legislation would dramatically remake the U.S. immigration system, ushering in new visa programs for low- and high-skilled workers, requiring a tough new focus on border security, instituting a new requirement for all employers to check the legal status of their workers, and installing a path to citizenship for 11 million immigrants in the country illegally.
The U.S. immigration system would shift from emphasizing family ties to U.S. citizens or permanent residents in determining who can come to this country, to putting a much bigger focus on their skills or employment opportunities. People who've been deported would have the opportunity to come back to the U.S. if their spouses or children are in the country.
Schumer appeared on the Senate floor around 2 a.m. Wednesday to file the 844-page bill. But a press event to roll the bill out was delayed until later in the week after the bombings at the Boston marathon. Nonetheless, outside groups and other senators already had plenty to say.
To some on the left, the details of the path to citizenship were emerging as a concern. It would take 13 years, the first 10 of those in a provisional legal status during which immigrants would not have access to federal benefits. Immigrants would have to pay $2,000 in fines plus hundreds more in fees, and outstanding taxes. No one with a felony conviction or more than three misdemeanors would be eligible, and no one who entered the country after Dec. 31, 2011, could apply.
"The proposed legislation falls short by placing unnecessary obstacles and delays in the path to citizenship and could unfairly exclude some of the 11 million aspiring Americans who are our neighbors, friends, family and fellow-worshippers," said Bishop Ricardo McClin, pastor of the Church of God Restoration in Kissimmee, Fla., and a member of PICO National Network, a faith-based organizing network. "PICO will be pressing for changes to make sure that the path to citizenship is real for the families in our congregations."

This patent application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/152,946, filed May 22, 2002, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present invention relates generally to routing communications within a computer network, and more specifically, to a method and system for finding shared risk diverse paths.
Communication in a computer network involves the exchange of data between two or more entities interconnected by communication links and subnetworks. Entities concerned primarily with the correct routing of information in the network are called routers, to distinguish them from end systems which process traffic but do not take part in routing it. There are two fundamentally different approaches to the distribution and use of routing information in a network, called Distance Vector Routing and Link State Routing. In the former, each router tells its immediate neighbors how it would reach each entity in the network, updating this as similar information is received from its neighbors. In the latter, each router arranges to send information about its own connectivity to its neighbors to all routers in the network. Each router then runs an algorithm called Shortest Path First (SPF) to find the best route from itself to each entity in the network. Early routing protocols (e.g. RIP) used the Distance Vector approach. Link State Routing protocols first appeared in the early 1980s, and became widely used in the Internet during the 1990s. OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and Integrated IS-IS (Intermediate System-Intermediate System) are widely used examples of such protocols. Although there are many detailed differences between them, the fundamental algorithms are the same for both of them. OSPF is a routing protocol developed for IP (Internet Protocol). IS-IS was originally designed for Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) protocols, and was subsequently extended to deal with IP.
With link state routing, each router must discover its neighbors and learn their network addresses. A cost (typically related to the link bandwidth) is associated, generally by network management, with each link. One or more link state packets are then constructed containing this information, and flooded to all routers in the network. Dijkstra's Shortest Path First algorithm is then used at each router to find the shortest path to every other router. This algorithm maintains a set of nodes whose shortest path is already known and operates by adding one node to this known set with each iteration. The next step is to the next closest router along this path, always choosing the one which has the lowest cost from the local node. This process continues until all reachable nodes are in the known set with costs assigned to each. If a failure occurs along the shortest path, a backup route is identified.
Network failures include, for example, node failure due to equipment breakdown or equipment damage and link failure due to inadvertent fiber cable cut. Service disruption due to a network failure can cause customers significant loss of revenue during the network down time, thus network survivability against physical failures is important. In order to provide highly available circuits, carriers establish diversely routed back up paths. Routing diversity is needed to achieve the reliability and survivability expected of modern transport networks. Algorithms currently exist for finding simple node and link diverse paths. This strategy assumes that the failure of a particular link or node is an independent event. However, due to the fact that links often share facilities such as muxes, fibers or conduits, such an assumption is not always true.
Manual provisioning techniques are commonly used to ensure routing diversity. Implicitly in the provisioning operation is the notion of a Shared Risk Link Group (SRLG). SRLG is a relatively new concept that has been introduced to provide inputs necessary to plan for reliability in transport networks (see, for example, S. Chaudhuri et al., "Control of Lightpaths in an Optical Network", IETF Internet Draft, February 2000). A SRLG is a group of links that shat share a component whose failure causes the failure of all links of the group. The SRLG is associated with an entity at risk, typically a fiber span, and is a union of all links that ride on the fiber span. Links may traverse multiple fiber spans, and thus be in multiple SRLGs. In order to identify SRLGs, links are tagged with a token which indicates a particular facility which is at risk of failure. For example, a particular conduit may have a token '45' and any circuit that passes through that conduit would carry the token '45' (among a possible long list of other tokens). All of the links that carry this token are part of a SRLG. When looking for backup routes, a route which is independent of any SRLG that is associated with the primary path is sought.
Internet Gateway Protocols (IGPs) such as Open Shortest Path Forwarding (OSPF) may be used to propagate SRLGs and other physical link attributes. Neighbor discovery techniques are used to determine adjacent node connectivity. This local resource information is then advertised throughout the network via the IGP. Using this information, each node can obtain a complete view of the network. However, these techniques do not address SRLGs or diversity in routing.
A method for finding shared risk divers paths is disclosed. The method includes receiving route information at a node and running a shortest path algorithm to identify a first path. A shared risk metric is assigned to links and nodes with the first path. The method further includes running the shortest path algorithm with the shared risk metrics assigned to identify a second path and comparing the first and second paths. New shared risk metrics are assigned to links and nodes in the second path if the first and second paths are not diverse.
The method may further include repeating the running of the algorithm and comparing paths until diverse paths are found or a limit on iterations is reached.
In another aspect of the invention, a computer program product for finding shared risk diverse paths comprises code that receives route information at a node and runs a shortest path algorithm to identify a first path, code that assigns shared risk metrics to links and nodes within the first path and runs the algorithm with the shared risk metrics assigned to identify a second path. The product further includes code that compares the first and second paths and assigns new shared risk metrics to links and nodes in the second path if the first and second path are not diverse, and a computer-readable storage medium for storing codes.
The above is a brief description of some deficiencies in the prior art and advantages of the present invention. Other features, advantages, and embodiments of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description, drawings, and claims.
Corresponding reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views of the drawings.
The following description is presented to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention. Descriptions of specific embodiments and applications are provided only as examples and various modifications will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. The general principles described herein may be applied to other embodiments and applications without departing from the scope of the invention. Thus, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and features described herein. For purpose of clarity, details relating to technical material that is known in the technical fields related to the invention have not been described in detail.
The present invention provides a method and system for finding shared risk diverse paths. The concept of Shared Risk Link Groups (SRLGs) is used to express a risk relationship that associates a group of links with a single failure. As described below, the method and system focus on shared risks rather than a group of links, thus 'shared risk' as used herein applies to nodes as well as links. In service provider networks, risks are typically localized to limited area of the topology. The feasibility of finding a shared risk diverse path is therefore relatively high.
The invention operates in the context of a data communication network including multiple network elements.
As used herein the term router is used to refer to devices that forward packets based on network and higher layer information. The router may include, for example, a master central processing unit (CPU), interfaces, and a bus. The CPU preferably includes memory and a processor. When acting under the control of appropriate software or firmware, the CPU is responsible for such router tasks as routing table computations, network management, and general processing of packets. It preferably accomplishes all these functions under the control of software including an operating system (e.g., a version of the Internetwork Operating System (IOS�) of Cisco Systems, Inc.) and any appropriate applications software. The CPU may include one or more processors such as a processor from the Motorola family or microprocessors of the MIPS family of microprocessors. In an alternative embodiment, the processor is specially designed hardware for controlling operations of the router. Memory may be non-volatile RAM and/or ROM. However, there are many different ways in which memory could be coupled to the system. In an alternative embodiment, a router or switch may be implemented on a general purpose network host machine such as the computer system of
The system bus architecture of the computer system is represented by arrows 58 in
Communication between computers within the network is made possible with the use of communication protocols, which govern how computers exchange information over a network. The computer may include an input/output circuit used to communicate information in appropriately structured form to and from parts of the computer and associated equipment. Preferably, each of these interfaces includes a plurality of ports appropriate for communication with the appropriate media, and associated logic, and in some instances memory. The associated logic may control such communication intensive tasks as packet integrity checking and media control and management.
The routers facilitate the flow of data packets throughout the system by routing the packets to the proper receiving stations. The packet typically contains the address of the final destination station. The final destination address remains constant as the packet traverses the networks. A key function of router is determining the next station to which the packet is sent. The routers typically execute routing algorithms to decide over which communication links incoming packets should be transmitted. A type of network layer routing protocol commonly employed by routers is a link state routing protocol. With link state routing, each router must discover its neighbors and learn their network addresses, measure the delay to each of its neighbors, construct a packet containing this information, send the packet to all other routers, and compute the shortest path to every other router.
When router is booted, its first task is to learn who its neighbors are. It accomplishes this goal by sending a special HELLO packet on each point-to-point line. The router on the other end is expected to send back a reply telling who it is. Once the information needed for the exchange has been collected, the next step is for each router to build a packet containing all of this data. The packet (a Link State Packet) starts with the identity of the sender, followed by a sequence number, age, and a list of neighbors. For each neighbor, the cost to that neighbor, a network management parameter, is given. The link state database is synchronized by having the routers exchange LSPs to build the link state database. The routers flood the networks with LSPs, check integrity using a checksum, and resend the LSPs by forwarding them out on all enabled interfaces except the interface on which each was received or on which the same LSP has already been received. The router's link state database is thus a combination of the router's own adjacency database and the LSP packets arriving from all other routers. When the link state database is complete in conventional systems, a copy of the database, which includes a map of the network and its links, services, and external routes for the area, is maintained in each router. It is to be understood that the above process for defining a topology database is provided only as an example. Any procedure that provides a suitable topology database may be used. For example, a net management station may query all of the switches for their topology information. Also, different types of routing protocols may be used to distribute the routing information.
Once a router has accumulated a full set of link state packets, it can construct the entire subnet graph since every link is now represented. The algorithm described below, is then run locally to construct the shortest path, while considering shared risks, to all reachable destinations. The output of the algorithm is the next hop (i.e., intermediate router) to the destination. The results of this algorithm are installed in the routing tables.
In the method of the present invention, multiple attempts are made to find paths through a network. Links that carry shared risks which are also included in a specific path are penalized (i.e., made to look less attractive in the Dijkstra algorithm). As the algorithm runs, the penalty associated with a risk that is common to a primary and backup path is increased. As the algorithm continues, the problem areas are avoided and diverse routes are usually found.
Details of this process are shown in the flowchart of
Many different methods may be used to select metrics for each node and link. For example, the link or node with the greatest shared risk may be assigned a metric that is five times greater than the metric assigned to other links and nodes in the path. Other methods for assigning metrics include those described in Survivable Networks Algorithms for Diverse Routing, R. Bhandari (The Kluwer International Series in Engineering and Computer Sciences, 1999).
The ShortTerm and LongTerm metrics are initially set to zero for all shared risks (step 82). The first iteration is thus a standard Dijkstra algorithm run with the following metrics applied (step 84):
The path (first path) returned by the first run is walked and the ShortTerm metric is set to a constant value for every shared risk that is included in the path (step 86). This first path is now labeled as the PreviousPath (step 88).
Dijkstra is then run again and a new path (second path) is identified and labeled as the CurrentPath (step 90). The CurrentPath is compared to the PreviousPath to see if there is shared risk diversity (step 92). If the paths are diverse, the process is complete (steps 94 and 96). If the CurrentPath and the PreviousPath are not diverse, the CurrentPath is walked and the LongTerm metric associated with each shared risk that is common to the previous path is increased (steps 94, 98 and 99). The increased LongTerm metric is defined as follows:
The path returned by the run is then walked and the ShortTerm metric is set to a constant value for every shared risk that is included in the path (step 86). This path is now labeled as the PreviousPath (step 88) and steps 90-94 are repeated until diverse paths are found or until a limit set on the number of iterations which are run is reached.
The present invention may be used in embedded control algorithms (e.g., MPLS-TE, GMPLS) in network elements or in network management tools (e.g., TunnelVision), for example.
Although the present invention has been described in accordance with the embodiments shown, one of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that there could be variations made to the embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description and shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

We have rented houses and condos on the Gulf side of Florida for over 18 years and this property is by far our favorite. The house is very clean, well maintained, practically new. The heated pool was very nice.The neighborhood is very quiet, we seldom saw anybody else.We are returning this year and would recommend this property. David and Cheryl
The house was beautiful and had all the amenities listed. We loved the open feeling of the house, the spa and being on the canal. It was close to shopping, restaurants and golf. We would go back again.
My family and I stayed at this home for a week just recently, and loved every minute of it. The property manager was immediately available to see to our every need, and Heidi answered my emails very quickly when we were making preparations for our trip. It was well worth the money we spent, and MUCH better than staying at any hotel. My three granddaughters absolutely loved the pool, and we could barely wrestle them away to visit our planned locations (theme park, etc.). Even though they love the beach and ocean, they loved this home with its pool more. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone who would like to stay in the Fort Myers area.
We spent four weeks in the house in November-December 2009. We had been looking for a comfortable and well functioning house in a peaceful neighborhood. This is exactly what we got.
The floorplan of the house is both practical and cosy. On top of that you have the south-facing lanai, which very soon became our actual living room.
We were also pleased to find out that the quality of the house was as advertised. We also appreciate the help and advice kindly given by the Property Manager.
We enjoyed our stay a lot! We can definitely recommend the house to those who are looking for a beautiful and comfortable house in a peaceful surrounding.
We had the most relaxing holiday ever!! The villa was everything the description promised, clean, well equiped and set in a beautiful location. Although relaxing, there was still plenty of thigs to do. From the great beaches to the shopping to the great restauants, we had a fantastic time. If you want to see another side of Florida to the theme parks etc. then we would highly recomend Caribbean Island as a terrific base in a beautiful part of the state.Tom and Les, Liverpool
Wir haben eine Woche im Caribbean Isalnd Deluxe verbracht und waren schlicht begeistert! Das ganze Haus ist gut gepflegt, die Einrichtung sauber und alle Geräte einwandfrei funktionstüchtig. Man merkt, dass die Eigentümer das Ganze mit viel Liebe eingerichtet haben, überall Fliesenboden, Sommerdecken in den Betten (statt nur 1 Leintuch), schönes Geschirr und wie schon erwähnt gute Küchengeräte. Die schöne grosse Terrasse mit dem Pool (inkl. Whirlpool) und den angenehmen Liegen laden einfach zum relaxen ein.
Der Kontakt zu den Eigentümern war von Beginn an sehr angenehm, alles ist sehr professionell organisiert und so hat auch alles perfekt funktioniert:-) Ebenso steht die nette Hausverwalterin (deutschsprachig) vor Ort bei Fragen zur Verfügung.
Dei Lage direkt am Kanal ist herrlich, vorallem wenn man sich ein Boot dazu mietet, was ich allen unbedingt empfehle. In einer knappen 1/2h ist man bereits auf dem Meer und kann von dort die herrlichen Strände von Fort Myers, Sanibel und Captiva anfahren und dabei immer wiedder Delphine beobachten, welche neben dem Boot herschwimmen!
Wir werden sicher wieder herkommen und können das Haus absolut weiterempfehlen.

Staff Reporter
BHUBANESWAR: The State Gvernment has barred Rourkela-based Purusottam Institute of Engineering and Technology (PIET) from taking students from the pool of candidates prepared by Joint Entrance Examination, Orissa for 2009-10 academic year.
Industries department took the bold decision after its Policy Planning Body (PPB) found that PIET was reportedly demanding fees more than the amount mentioned in fee structure published by Joint Entrance Examination, Orissa.
The department slapped a fine of Rs. 5.40 lakh, five times of the fee demanded by the institute from Mousamibala Mallik, one candidate of JEE.
The department also fined Rs.1.08 lakh for loss of one year by the student.
The decision was said to be the first of its kinds when a private technical educational institute was taken to the task for demanding excess fees.
According to a statement released by Industries Department here on Saturday, PPB had held a hearing on the issue in presence of PIET director U. C. Patra and petitioner on May 23 last.
After going through allegations and clarifications from both students and institute authority, PPB recommended penalising the institute under Section 5 (sub-section 1) of Orissa Professional Educational (Regulation of Admission and Fixation of Fee) Act, 2007.
Prior to the counselling of JEE, Industries department had come out a series of announcements in print media asking parents and students to inform PPB if any private institute was demanding excess fees than the amount mentioned on JEE website.
It had promised to take action against the culprits.
However, the decision made engineering college association see red.
It was preparing to approach the State government for a review of the decision.

Real reviews, from customers like you.
Parking is a nightmare at the site, not enough spaces for all the caravans. Caravan semi-clean. Location good for surrounding area. Wouldn't go back.
The best part of the holiday was the evening entertainment and Ian this and the accomadation were excellent. The shop was minimal and the staff were rude and more interested in gossiping.
The only reason we would return to this resort is because Ian. There is nothing to do in the area and there is nothing much to do onsite
This was just a holiday with kids, so ok. Suited their needs.
unhelpfull staff,noisey,
The only complaint I have is that the seating area by the play area had not been cleaned from the previous evening. The bins were full and the ashtrays had not been emptied. Otherwise myself and my 12 year old son had a lovely time :)
Just wish the pool had been indoors as weather wasn't good enough for outside pool
Staff really good Maria a asset to the camp very helpful and lovely girl. The kettle full of lime scale had to buy lime scale remover,caravan not really clean, no water for 2hours, on one day, so would not recommend
Caravan was disgusting when we 1st arrived. Dog hair all over units and carpet. Reception staff excellent in sorting this problem.
not bad
Clean caravan and site. Staff friendly and helpful. Not much in Seasalter but a good centre for touring. Main problem on site is parking and late noise from the entertainment centre. We had a poor meal on site so only ate once. This was down to bought in pies not the cheff.

Plate - Egyptian Harpist, Ceramic, Red Glaze With Gilt, 1888 Reg. No: HT 30819
- Summary:
- Ceramic wall-plate decorated in the late-nineteenth century Aesthetic style with obvious Egyptian decorative motifs, signed 'GMS' and dated 1888 within the design.
This is one of two plates produced in a similar decorative style, possibly English and both signed by the same unidentified artist in 1888, that are understood to have been produced for inclusion in the 1888 Melbourne International Centennial Exhibition, which opened on 3 August 1888 and ran for six months, closing on the 31 January 1889.
Both plates depict harpists from two ancient civilisations, Egyptian in this instance, and Sumerian on the companion piece. The deep border of a repeating floral and foliate pattern includes lotus flowers and pomegranate, both plants which were significant in Ancient Egypt. The pomegranate represented prosperity and ambition, a common interpretation shared by many Middle Eastern and Central Asian countries due to the bountiful quantity of the fruits seeds. Lotus flowers, which close of an evening and descend into the water for the night, only to remerge with the sunrise, are frequently used in ancient Egyptian art as a symbol of rebirth.
While in style, the two plates have distinctive qualities of the Aesthetic movement that developed in Europe, particularly in England, from the 1860s, the design's central vine tendrils also show the influence of Orientalism, the appeal of the Far East in Western art and design in the second half of the nineteenth century following the opening of Japan to the West at the end of the Edo period in 1867.
According to the donor's family history, the two plates were purchased from the 1888 Melbourne Centennial International Exhibition by an 'Aunty Vi', who in turn left them to her niece, Violet Joseph, a close friend of the donor's mother.
- Description:
- Ceramic plate with reddish-brown painted glaze and gilt decoration, depicting an Egyptian harpist in the centre of the plate and a cartouche of hieroglyphics. The broad border design is a repeating pattern of lotus flowers against gold petal shapes, and scrolling pomegranate vines with fruit. There is a repaired break running diagonally across the breadth of the plate.

Obama reassures Europeans over US surveillance
STOCKHOLM President Barack Obama sought Wednesday to reassure Europeans outraged over U.S. surveillance programs that his government isn't sifting through their emails or eavesdropping on their telephone calls. He acknowledged that the programs haven't always worked as intended, saying "we had to tighten them up."
Obama said once-secret U.S. surveillance programs that became public knowledge after a government contractor leaked details about them are meant to improve America's understanding of what is happening around the world. He sought to allay the concerns of Europeans upset by the thought that their personal communications may have been swept up in the U.S. government's massive data collection operations.
"I can give assurances to the publics in Europe and around the world that we're not going around snooping at people's emails or listening to their phone calls," Obama said at a news conference with Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt on his first visit as president to Sweden. "What we try to do is to target very specifically areas of concern."
Leaks by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden about U.S. surveillance programs sparked outrage overseas, particularly among Europeans who place a premium on personal privacy and civil liberties and recall life under governments that routinely spied on them. The NSA program was the first question he received from the Swedish press.
Obama said additional changes to the programs may be required because of advances in technology. He said his national security team along with an independent board is reviewing everything to strike the right balance between the government's surveillance needs and civil liberties.
"There may be situations in which we're gathering information just because we can that doesn't help us with our national security, but does raise questions in terms of whether we're tipping over into being too intrusive with respect to the ... the interactions of other governments," Obama said. "We are consulting with the (European Union) in this process; we are consulting with other countries in this process and finding out from them what are their areas of specific concern and trying to align what we do in a way that, I think, alleviates some of the public concerns that people may have."
The joint appearance with Reinfeldt was one of several events packed into Obama's whirlwind, 24-hour visit to the Swedish capital to show a softer side of American diplomacy even as the world's gaze remains fixed anxiously on Syria.
He intends to focus in the Nordic nation on climate change, trade and technology, issues on which there is broad consensus with European allies. The topics are a marked departure from the thornier national security and economic matters he's facing back home.
Obama also paid homage to a Holocaust-era hero whose name is commemorated on street signs from Paris to Tel Aviv.
The president arrived Wednesday morning in Stockholm after an overnight flight from Washington, where lawmakers are debating his request for congressional authorization for a military strike against Syria. On Thursday, he was scheduled to meet with foreign leaders at the Group of 20 economic summit in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Two DUIs before his first reception is probably not exactly how the Jacksonville Jaguars would have preferred their first-round draft pick, Justin Blackmon, to start his professional career. The 22-year-old, No. 5 overall pick in last April's Draft, was arrested for aggravated DUI in Stillwater, Oklahoma early Sunday morning. The Payne County Sheriff, Sgt. Brandon Ingham, told ESPN.com Blackmon was arrested at 3 a.m. for aggravated DUI and was jailed with a bond of $1,000. According to state law, aggravated DUI occurs when a driver carries a blood alcohol level of more than .15 – the legal limit to define a drunk driver is only .08. This is Blackmon's second DUI arrest after a 2010 incident saw him arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated after being pulled over for speeding in Dallas, Texas. He was suspended for one game by Oklahoma State University for that incident and vowed publicly that he looked forward to redeeming himself and wanted to prove that, "…this isn't...
