BERLIN: In a microbrewery in a trendy Berlin neighborhood, Thorsten Schoppe, one of a wave of beer-makers using new German ingredients to create nontraditional brews, pours hop pellets into a copper vat.
"We only use four ingredients, and that's one of them," Schoppen says, as the faintly sour scent of beer begins to emanate from the boiling water and malt, "so they're important."
German small-batch brewers like Schoppe have increasingly used so-called "flavor hops" to impart notes of orange, grapefruit or peach while still following the country's cherished 16th century purity law, which restricts other flavorings.
Until recently, Schoppe had to import special hops from the U.S., where craft brews have an established niche in the market.
This year, German growers, moving to capitalize on growing demand, harvested the country's first commercial-sized batch of newly developed flavor hop varieties.
"It really amazes people what kind of special flavors you can bring to a beer even within the Reinheitsgebot [the purity law]," says Schoppe, who brews a double India pale ale with a citrus aroma under his Schoppe Braeu label.
"Some people don't believe you if you say this is all natural, they think you must have added some flavors," Schoppe says.
Sebastian Hiersick, 35, a cook in Berlin, is a whiskey drinker who generally doesn't like "normal German beer."
"It's either too hoppy, too malty or too carbonated," Hiersick said.
After starting work at a restaurant that serves several German craft beers, he developed a taste for those with fruity undertones.
"When it's hot out or in the summer, they are really nice to drink. They are very drinkable, it's like juice or lemonade," Hiersick says.
Colleague Magdalen Reskin, 29, who likes chocolate bock, a dark brew, agrees.
"I like them because they don't taste like beer," she says.
Hops, fresh or dried and processed into pellets, traditionally give beer its bitter taste.
Hop breeder Anton Lutz began developing the new German varieties in 2006, when he stopped throwing out seedlings with "fruity" aromas and started breeding them on purpose.
Working out of the Hop Research Center in Huell, a tiny village 60 kilometers north of Munich, Lutz pollinated female flowers from a popular U.S. hop variety, called Cascade, with pollen from male plants from traditional German hops.
The idea, Lutz says, was to combine citrusy North American hop flavors with traditional local hops to create a taste that is "hoppy and fruity, not only fruity."
"German beer drinkers expect beers that are not so extreme, so we needed something a little bit softer," Lutz says.
The four new breeds, including one called "Mandarina Bavaria," are described as having notes of "distinct honeydew melon" and "strong tangerine and citrus."
Local growers are starting cautiously: By the end of 2013, 150 hectares, less than one percent of Germany's hop fields, will be planted with the new varieties.
"We don't want the whole beer-drinking culture in Germany to change," Lutz says.
"We want to open up beer to new markets, not convince people to change their tastes."
Germany's beer purity law, introduced in Bavaria in 1516 and adopted nationwide in 1906, dictates that only water, malt, hops and yeast, and no flavorings or preservatives, may be used to make beer.
The law has contributed to a beer culture more heavily focused on tradition and quality than innovation, and the new hop varieties were initially met with skepticism.
"The classic German beer drinker was almost alarmed. They said, 'We don't want juice, we want beer,'" says Elisabeth Seigner, head of hop breeding research at the Bavarian State Research Center for Agriculture.
Now, demand for the new hops exceeds supply, Seigner adds.
With a local version of flavor hops available, larger, more traditional breweries are beginning to try them.
Meinel Brewery, in the small Bavarian town of Hof, has been family-owned since its founding in 1731.
About half of the beer brewed there is still Pilsner.
In 2010, however, brew-master Gisela Meinel-Hansen and three women brewers began making limited-edition seasonal versions of "Holladiebierfee," sold in champagne bottles.
"We have a goal, we want to bring women to beer. This beer is our ambassador," Meinel-Hansen says.
This winter's nut-brown chocolate porter, with flavors of coffee and red berry, uses "Mandarina Bavaria."
Even traditional Hofbraeu, whose Munich beer hall is a tourist favorite, now features a beer with German-flavor hops.
As beer consumption declines, the new varieties allow German hop growers to capitalize on experimentation.
"Three, four, five years ago it was a completely different opinion from brewer to brewer," Lutz says.
"Now, I think all brewers and hop growers think we need all the varieties," he adds.

"With political gridlock, a looming debt ceiling and the potential negative effect it can have on the financial markets, investors, especially hose close to retirement, need to take a proactive approach immediately to help protect their investments against market volatility, " said Sands.
On Dec. 31, 2012, the United States government officially hit its authorized borrowing limit, also known as the debt ceiling, of about $16.4 trillion. Unless the debt ceiling is raised, the U.S. will run out of cash sometime between Feb. 15 and the middle of March.
American economist, Alan Blinder, was quoted in a recent CNBC article detailing how exceeding the debt ceiling could be more fatal to the economy than the fiscal cliff.
He said, "At current rates of spending and taxation, federal receipts cover less than 74 percent of federal outlays. So if the government hits the debt ceiling at full speed, total outlays—which includes everything from Social Security benefits to soldiers' pay to interest on the national debt—will have to be trimmed by more than 26 percent immediately. That amounts to more than 6 percent of GDP, far more than the fiscal cliff avoided."
Other financial analysts are also anticipating a significant impact on the economy, financial markets, government Social Security and military personnel checks. Some reports are indicating a depression on the horizon if the debt ceiling is not addressed before deadline.
"Investors and retirees need to understand that there are many options available to build a solid portfolio that give them access to their money and option to make adjustments during uncertain times like we are facing today," said Sands. "I am confident and willing to help everyone in Broward County build a portfolio to help navigate their retirement through these extremely uncertain times."

Archtober Building of the Day #5
Sportime/John McEnroe Tennis Academy
One Randall's Island
RZAPS – Ricardo Zurita Architecture & Planning, P.C.
Archtober enthusiasts ventured to Randall's Island—many of us for the very first time—to visit Sportime/John McEnroe Tennis Academy, a tennis facility, designed by Ricardo Zurita Architecture and Planning, that includes 20 courts, a clubhouse, and a stadium on less than four acres. As the architect of the master plan for Randall's Island, Ricardo Zurita offered a quick history lesson at the start of the tour. Once a center for social service facilities, the island remains home to two psychiatric hospitals, a fire academy, and a water treatment plant, in addition to more than 400 acres of parkland. Zurita admitted to calling it Rikers Island once early in his career, perhaps to quell our embarrassment at leaving it off of the first three Archtober maps.

If you thought the 2009 NYC Firefighter "Hunks" Calendar was hot, take a look at the FDNY's newest training tool: the nation's only high-rise fire simulator. Unveiled last Thursday at the FDNY's High Rise Operations Symposium, the $4.2 million simulator on the department's Randall's Island training facility mimics conditions the city's firefighters face when battling fires several stories up. Funded largely by actor Denis Leary's The Leary Firefighters Foundation, the brick building contains mock elevators, a smoke system and standpipes, according to the Daily News.

Book 1: Clone Wars
THE CAT AND MOUSE Part 3
Bruce ran through the hallways of the cloning facility, in pursuit of Kitrina who had just showed where her true loyalties lie.
"Alfred! Kitrina's the traitor! "
"Are you certain Master Bru-?"
"She electrocuted me and locked me in a room filled with poison gas, so yeah im pretty sure. " Said Bruce in a mix of annoyance and fake sarcasm.
Zertan, Obi-Wan and Shaak Ti had just shared a drink together when the prime ministers communication device went off; he placed his cup on the desk.
"It seems I have a urgent call, excuse me for a moment. "
He turned around and activated his ear piece. "I've got the codes you wanted, meet me on the outer launch bay so we can get out off here. "
Zertan smiled as he deactivated his earpiece, he turned to the Jedi once more keeping his fake smile on.
"Is everything alright prime minister? " Said Obi-Wan as he raised an eyebrow.
"Yes... everything is alright I suppose. "
He grabbed a small taser from his belt and placed it on the side of Shaak Tis neck, the Jedi screamed in pain as the electricity knocked her unconscious.
Obi-Wan ignited his light saber and cut the small device in half, he placed his blade to the long neck of the Kaminoian, and the prime minister raised his hands as he slowly moved back to his desk.
"What is the meaning of this?! "
"Now, now master Kenobi, calm down and I promise you will be mostly uninjured. "
The prime minister tried to take another step back to his desk to grab a hidden pistol within it; the light saber drew closer to his neck making this course of action very unwise.
Suddenly Obi-Wan screamed in pain as blade cut into the flesh of his left foot, he fell to his knees when the blade cut into his left foot, he raised his head to see Kitrina standing behind him.
He fell to the floor unconscious as the girl sent a powerful kick to his head, she casually walked around his body and took his light saber from the ground, as she examined it a sly smile formed on her face, she placed it on her belt and turned her attention to the prime minister.
"It seems your abilities were not exaggerated, I assume the padawan has been dealt with as well? "
"He's dead if that's what you're asking, bit of a shame really, he was kind of cute. "
"Perhaps we should leave before anyone gets the wiser and discovers us. "
"Right, my ships this way, just let me change first. "
The prime minister raised an eyebrow, she pressed a button on her belt that slowly turned her plain outfit into a black leather jumpsuit, from the knee and elbow down her feet and arms become plated with titanium gauntlets built into the jumpsuit itself, a pair of black goggles appeared on her face, finally she released her hair from the knot she had it tied into, her brown her fall over he shoulders and stretched to the mid section of her back.
"Now we can go. "
Kitrina and Zertan walked quickly through the hallways, the girl was worried that some one would see them walking around, after a few minutes of silence Zertan spoke up as if he read her mind.
"You need not worry, most of the clones are in the lower levels now, they are either training or resting at the moment. "
"That doesn't mean we wont run into any of them. "
"The Jedi were the only ones who could stop us, and we defeated them quite easily. "
"Not as easily as you think. "
Kitrina stopped dead in her tracks when she heard his voice, a moment later Bruce ran his saber through Zertan, Kitrina jumped back and watched the Kaminoian fall to the floor, clenching the smoking wound in his chest.
"Give me the data or you'll end up like him. "
"Tempting offer. " She playfully rolled her eyes as she paced in front of Bruce who carefully followed her every move. "But I have to say... no! "
She grabbed the handle of her whip from her belt only for it to be yanked away from her hand by Bruce, the handle flew across the hallways at him, and upon reaching him he sliced it in half making it useless.
A large smile formed on his face, as he gave her a smug retort. "Next? "
She charged at him, she jumped into the air and launched a kick aimed for his head, he side stepped out of the way, and she spun around and sent a barrage of kicks and punches at him.
Small claws popped out of the fingertips of her gloves, she cut the side of his shoulder only for him too hit her in the stomach with his knee, she tried to claw his face once more, he crouched and uppercutted her.
She stumbled back for a moment, the strength of his punch was not human and she clenched her stomach in pain.
Bruce ran up to her, grabbed her arm and twisted it behind her back, she tried to claw him only for him to grab her other arm and handcuff them, she feel to floor as he kicked her in the back.
She landed face first on the floor; he grabbed her hands with his left hand, with his right hand he started hack through her Omni tool, his knee was placed on back of her knees, leaving her immobile.
"Mmmm, kinky. " A sly smile formed on her face.
"Im glad you find this all so amusing, considering you're going to hand off the most important piece of information to the Sith. "
"Sith? Ha! Do you really think I would ever work for those guys, I might be a thief, but even I wouldn't work for them... Besides they'd probably kill me to tie up any loose ends. "
Bruce stopped for the briefest moment to let her words sink in before continuing on with the hacking process.
Kitrina laid on the floor, she knew Bruce was in for a nasty surprise, she only needed to wait a little longer.
A clicking sound could be heard from her Omni tool, almost instantly the entire base lit up as the red alert sounded through all of it, in the hallway where they were at, several turrets came out of the walls and fired at Bruce.
He jumped away from Kitrina, reignited his light saber and began to deflect the bolts back, Kitrina on the other hand was using a small lock pick she stored in her belt and managed to get out of her cuffs fairly quickly.
Bruce deflected the laser blasts back at the turrets, destroying them instantly, he noticed Kitrina escaping and chased after her, just as he hand was about to grab hers a shield appeared before him blocking his way.
"Sorry Brucey, looks like I win after all, better luck next time handsome. "
She blew a kiss at him before running toward the nearby hangar, two turrets came out of the corner of the wall, and Bruce threw his saber destroying them effortlessly.
He took a few steps back before he jumped right through the ceiling of the hallway, the weather outside was chaotic with an incredibly powerful wind blowing, he saw Kitrina approach a small ship, his scowled at this before using a Force jump to send himself flying right behind Kitrina.
He ignited his light saber and charged at the ship, however Kitrina had already entered it and began firing at Bruce, the laser bolts this time were far more powerful and it took much concentration for him to keep it from knocking the light saber out of his hand.
He jumped onto the ship before it could fire on him once more, he stabbed his saber into the glass of the cock pit before Kitrina pulled a blaster and shot him in the shoulder, and he fell of the ship and could only watch as Kitrina and the data both escaped right from under him.
"Master Bruce? I found masters Shaak Ti and Obi-Wan Kenobi, they are currently in the infirmary, tell me have you found Kitrina or the data? "
"No........ "
Kitrina's ship exited Slip space, it was seemingly in the middle of nowhere, she sighed as she activated her communication device.
Before her appeared a middle aged man with graying hair, a black suit sitting in a dimly lit room with a cigar in his hand and bottle of scotch in the other, his eyes were blue yet had a unique almost cross looking iris to them.
"Selina, were you were able to extract the data that I asked for? "
"It wasn't easy but yeah I was, it's definitely something else. "
"Indeed it is, with that data our plans will move along much faster. "
"The Jedi were awfully hell bent on stopping you get it, particularly Bruce Wayne. "
The man gave her a puzzled look. "Bruce Wayne? What was he doing there? "
"He's a Jedi, well a padawan from the looks of it and he's not human judging just by the fact he tore through steel like it was paper. "
The man placed the cigar in his mouth and inhaled, the cigar end lit up before he exhaled releasing the smoke.
"Il make sure to get you a bonus for telling me this miss Kyle, your a billion credits should be uploaded to your bank account by now. "
She connected her Omni tool to the communication device and sent the data to the man, a smirk formed on his face as he examined it for a few seconds.
"As always miss Kyle, Cerberus appreciates your efforts. "
"And I as always appreciate your money. "
She smiled at the man before closing communication with him; he took a sip of his scotch before contacting one of his agents.
"Illusive man. " Said the woman with a thick Australian accent.
"Miranda, I want you to find out everything you can about Bruce Wayne, and about his connection to the Vidothians. "
To be continued.........

This application claims the priority of PCT/SE01/01473 dated Jun. 27, 2001 under 35 U.S.C. 371.
The invention relates in general to computer networks and more in particular to enabling mechanisms for delegation and distribution of centralised network server functions to the edge of computer networks. Specifically, the invention relates to distributed broadcast server functionality used for emulated local area networks (LAN) on global networks.
Most enterprises are located at multiple sites where each site has its own local area network (LAN). A site is defined as anything from a head-quarter, or an affiliation company site, to a single employee's remote office site. Some kind of communication infrastructure is then used to interconnect the different sites. The Internet evolution can roughly be categorised into two main areas:
a) Internet as the global communication infrastructure. Traditionally, companies used so called leased lines, provided by telephone companies to interconnect their sites. Separated firewall solutions were used for accessing the Internet. During the last years, companies are no longer using Internet only for external communication, more and more companies are trying out new network solutions that enables them to also use Internet for company-internal communication. Internet has become their site-to-site interconnecting medium.
b) Broadband Internet access. In parallel with the above, more and more broadband access solutions are rolled out by different network access providers. This enables anyone to upgrade their access to Internet from a traditional dial-up PSTN/ISDN (Public Switched Telephone Network/Integrated Services Digital Network) access solution to a broadband solution, e.g. ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line), Cable or Ethernet, with direct access to Internet. Apart from the obvious broadband benefits, the network access user is also able to always be connected to the Internet.
The common name for most of the network solutions that interconnects multiple sites over Internet is "virtual private networks" (VPN). VPNs can be implemented in numerous ways, this is well explained in e.g. the IETF by B. Gleeson et. al, "A Framework for IP Based Virtual private Networks", RFC 2764, February 2000, IP meaning Internet Protocol. A VPN is a private network that is configured within a public network For years, common carriers have built VPNs that appear as private national or international networks to the customer, but physically share backbone trunks with other customers. VPNs enjoy the security of a private network via access control and encryption, while taking advantage of the economies of scale and built-in management facilities of large public networks. Today, there is tremendous interest in VPNs over the Internet, especially due to the constant threat of hacker attacks. The VPN adds that extra layer of security, and a e huge growth in VPN use is expected. In general, the different VPN solutions can be categorized into two main groups; customer premises equipment (CPE) based solutions or network based solutions.
Internet is a public data network based on network paradigms such as equal and best effort traffic treatment. All traffic crossing the Internet is public and insecure resulting in a number of problems that need to be solved, e.g. end-to-end security communication between enterprise sites. Some problems have solutions supported by several VPN system vendors, such as encrypted IP tunnelling between end-users using the IPSec architecture described by S. Kent and R. Atkinson in "Security Architecture for the Internet Protocol", RFC 2401, November 1998, or stand-alone firewall solutions, desktop software VPN clients. e.g. Microsoft® VPN, etc. A PC that is connected to Internet can, not easily but it is possible, be used as a transit node by a hacker, e.g. the hacker could use a Trojan horse program to get inside the PC. Well inside, the Trojan horse program may be adapted to release application software that will act as some authenticated software installed by the owner of the PC. It is very difficult for layer 2 and 3 firmware/software to detect this kind of malicious applications. Therefore, it is recommendable to have VPN control and management software and firmware functions and end-user applications, such as service login software, "authenticated" software applications that in some way uses the network infrastructure provided by the VPN service, separated on different hardware platforms. What generally should C be avoided, is having PC clients that are responsible for configuring the actual VPN setup, i.e. having access to the lookup-table for other VPN members public IP addresses, having access to information on how to authenticate, perform integrity C check and encrypt traffic aimed for the VPN etc.
When a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is implemented as an emulated LAN on top of a standard IP network such as Internet, one have to provide for the broadcast functionality that is a basic (intrinsic) function on a level-2 media such as Ethernet A number of broadcast based services are defined on the link-level. Examples are service discovery protocols and the layer-2 Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). The broadcast functionality could be implemented in different ways. Examples of different architectures are:
ATM Forum's LANE (LAN Emulation) standard is an example of centralised server architecture. This server emulates the broadcast functionality on the LAN. When a LAN Emulating Client (LEC) sends a broadcast, the broadcast is sent to the BUS (Broadcast and Unknown Server) that relays this message to all of the other clients on the emulated LAN.
The technical problems with the described architecture are related to scalability and reliability. When a large number of LAN emulating clients are sending broadcasts to the broadcast server each client will experience a performance degradation of the broadcast service due to the load on the broadcast server. The traffic load on the link connecting the broadcast server will also increase with a large number of LAN clients. This will ultimately becomes a bottleneck. This bottleneck will further reduce the broadcast performance experienced by the LAN clients. In addition to the performance problem, a single broadcast server will also be a single point of failure for broadcast based services offered by the emulated LAN.
When the broadcast functionality is implemented by using IP multicast, the LAN emulating clients joins a multicast network. This network constitutes the broadcast medium for the emulated LAN. Obviously, to be able to use IP multicast as the broadcast medium, the clients have to interact with a multicast service offered by underlying IP network. This interaction could be done via a LAN emulating server, the management system of the emulated LAN or by other means. A technical problem with this solution is the dependency of the IP multicast functionality in the IP backbone and the need for the emulated LAN to interact with IP backbone.
According to first aspect of the invention, a system for emulating a local area network on top of a global communication network is provided. The system comprises clients units and a server which are connected to said global network. Furthermore, the system comprises a broadcast functionality for relaying messages to all clients in the emulated local area network. According to the invention said broadcast functionality is distributed and implemented in more than one network unit node in the emulated local area network. Said global network preferably acts as a backbone for the emulated local area network.
In one embodiment a choice of which clients unit has an up and running broadcast functionality unit is defined by the server, and is based on predetermined performance criteria, such as available bandwidth to the backbone network.
Preferably the distributed broadcast functionality is hierarchically structured, wherein a master and initial broadcast functionality unit, constituting the top of said hierarchy, is configured in said server.
In one embodiment the connections between the nodes of the emulated local area network are implemented as a multicast network transmitted through the global network. In another embodiment the connections between the nodes of the emulated local-area network may is implemented as single-cast addresses, forming tunnels through said global network.
Preferably each network unit having a distributed broadcasting functionality comprises means for executing an algorithm for preventing broadcast messages from being indefinitely sent between the network unit nodes having the distributed broadcasting functionality. In one embodiment this is arranged by an algorithm being based on a checksum of the broadcast packet, which checksum uniquely identifies the broadcast packet. The checksum is cached by the broadcasting functionality for the purpose of dropping subsequently arriving broadcast packets having the same checksum. In another embodiment another algorithm is used, based on a hop counter which is decremented by each broadcasting functionality unit upon arrival, said algorithm functioning to drop subsequent incoming packets when the counter has reached zero.
Preferably said global network is an Internet Protocol network such as the Internet.
According to a second aspect of the invention, a method is provided for taking the steps described in this application, for emulating a distributed local area network.
Preferred embodiments of the invention are described below with references being made to the drawings, on which
According to one aspect, the system according to the present invention is based on a standard IP network like the public Internet. The system comprises multiple VPN clients and at least one server. One server can be a distributed cluster of physical boxes. The VPN clients could be implemented as drivers on the client computer but are for security reasons preferably implemented in a stand alone hardware box. A purpose of this mechanism is to establish dynamic and secure Virtual Local area Networks between some or all of the clients. A virtual-network is created by establishing connection groups in a VPN server. The server has a service device for keeping track of connected machines and mapping them to IP addresses. In one embodiment this is obtained using ARP (Address Resolution Protocol), an IP protocol used to obtain a node's physical address. A client station sends an ARP request to the VPN server with the VPN internal IP address of the target node it wishes to communicate with, and the VPN server responds by sending back the external IP address so that packets can be transmitted. ARP returns the layer-2 address for a layer-3 address. This mechanism also handles distribution of public keys to form complete security associations. For handling broadcasts an emulated broadcast service is implemented in the server, preferably using an IP multicast group or as a separate broadcast service. Data sent directly from one machine in the virtual network to another is tunnelled over IP directly to the IP address of the receiving client. The mechanism includes both the case where data packets are tunnelled directly over IP and when an layer-2 media such as Ethernet is bridged onto the IP network.
The above provides an effective and user friendly mechanism for establishing Virtual Private Networks over generic IP connections. Broadcast services and service discovery protocols that normally require a direct layer-2 interconnection may work independently of the actual network structure. It also provides the possibilities of distributed network broadcast handling, where rules and configuration options may be cached in the end nodes of the network instead of in a centralised server. The described mechanism is unique in that it presents a complete distributed emulated LAN on top of an IP network where access and attributes such as security associations are completely controlled by a server. Most current solutions uses static tunnels. Either permanent connections are set up between the members of the VPN or tunnel servers which basically works as modem pools only you "dial" an IP number. This means that all traffic no matter it's final destination goes through this one box. In particular traffic going to sites in the VLAN (Virtual LAN) other than that of the VLAN server comes in through the server access and turns. The broadcast service allows service discovery protocols designed for local networks to function on the VPN while the ARP mechanism allows for dynamic establishment of secure tunnels directly between endpoints. The well known LANE (LAN Emulation) standard was focused entirely on ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) and featured nonintegrated security handling. Lane introduces, inter alia, the ability to connect Ethernet and Token Ring networks together via ATM. LANE makes the process transparent, requiring no modification to Ethernet and Token Ring stations. LANE allows common protocols, such as IP, IPX, AppleTalk and DECnet, to ride over an ATM backbone. LAN emulation has been implemented and verified over ATM. However, since the system architecture itself by design avoids sending all data through the server, the bottleneck problem with overloaded server links is completely avoided.
In general, the target system relies on a decision scheme for a third-party overtaking of a client role in a two-party communication session. Turning to
The end user client process preferably resides in a PC, the VPN client process preferably resides within a standalone hardware unit, and the VPN server process resides within any kind of server hardware unit, such as an IBM® server. By process is here meant the functionality for the particular client or server, as described herein. The VPN server 2 and the VPN client 3 are parts of a VPN system that provides the end user client 1 with access to required VPNs. The end user client 1 hardware is physically connected via a communication line 11 to the VPN client 3 hardware. The VPN client 3 hardware is physically connected to a layer-two termination that enables the VPN client 3 to access Internet over a communication line 12. The layer-two protocol is preferably Ethernet but could practically be any known layer-two protocol used for the encapsulation and transport of IP (Internet Protocol) packets between IP nodes. The VPN server 2 is connected to Internet via a communication line 13 in the same way as the VPN client 3.
According to an embodiment of the target system the end user client 1 initiates a communication session with the VPN server 2 in order to acquire access to a virtual private network. During the initialisation phase, the VPN server 2 authenticates and authorises the end user client 1 as a registered user of VPN services that are provided by the VPN server 2. The VPN client 3 is passive in that it does not initiate any new information elements during the initialisation phase. The VPN client 3 also monitors 22 the communication 21 between the end user client 1 and the VPN server 2.
When the initialisation phase between the end user client 1 and the VPN server 2 is finished, and when information has been exchanged, regarding particular VPN that the end user clients request access to, then the VPN client 3 becomes active and takes over the communication session between the end user client 1 and the VPN client 3. The VPN client 3 now requests, if it is necessary because the VPN information can already be cached by the VPN client 3, VPN configuration data from the VPN server 2. The VPN client 3 uses the configuration data to configure necessary VPN access parameters such as traffic classification parameters, performance assurance parameters, or firewall parameters such as encryption, authentication, filtering parameters, etc.
The end user client 1 is allowed to use different VPN servers 2 but cannot have simultaneous access to more than one VPN server 2. The VPN client 3 detects when an end user client 1 tries to access a certain server 2. At this moment the VPN server 2 is considered insecure until the end user client 1 has authenticated the VPN server 2 and also have been authenticated by the VPN server 2.
The monitoring and session overtaking scenarios are described more in detail in
The VPN client 3 identifies when the end user client 1 starts to establish contact with a VPN server 2. The VPN client 3 treats the end user client 1 side as a trusted party and the VPN server 2 as a distrusted party. The session establishment phase 21 between the end user client 1 and the VPN server 2 could be done in numerous ways, e.g. by a traditional challenge/response handshaking sequence. The communication 21 is primarily meant to be done by web based clients but other client/server process environment solutions are possible. When the handshaking sequence between the end user client 1 and the VPN server 2 has finished, the VPN client 3 takes over the communication session. The handshaking is considered finished when the VPN server 2 has authenticated and authorised the end user client 1, and acknowledged the end user client 1 as a confirmed user. The VPN client 3 will from now on undertake proxy roles towards both the end user client 1 and the VPN server 2. Towards the end user client 1, the VPN client 3 will act as a VPN server proxy, and towards the VPN server 2 as an end user client proxy. The end C user client 1 will continue it's session in belief that it still communicates with the VPN server 2. The VPN client 3 will, using the VPN server proxy role, continue the VPN setup session with the end user client 1.
Further on, the VPN client 3 is now considering the VPN server 2 as a secure source and starts up communication sessions 23 with the VPN server 2 that enables the end user client 1 to be included as members in the requested VPN.
In one embodiment the target system is implemented in a service provisioning system, where parts of the service functionality are distributed to system clients acting as server proxies. One technical advantages of the present system is that any hacker intrusions via an end user PC 1 are avoided by having critical software/firmware for control and management of VPN configuration data separated on standalone hardware 3. Another advantage is the automated overtaking of certified sessions. Another benefit is the plug-and-play behaviour for virtual services over Internet, which is made available through the system. The teachings of the present system thus differs from prior art technology, since earlier solutions to the problem have either been centralised server solutions, such as PSTN/ISDN modem-pool solutions, server centralised IP Sec tunnelling etc, or distributed solutions, which are only valid within one network operator intra-domain or within federated network operator domains. These solutions are generally referred to as network based VPN systems. The present system will function independently of whether or not the different VPN client users access the same network operator domain or a federated network domain or have access to totally independent network operator domains.
An emulated multicast comprises one or preferably several broadcast servers connected to the emulated LAN. The connection between the LAN emulating client LEC, herein also referred to as the VPN client, and the broadcast servers can be realised as tunnels or by other means. The broadcast servers can be configured dynamically by a LAN Emulating Server (LES) or in a static fashion via a management system.
In one embodiment of the present invention, illustrated in
The Broadcast and Unknown Server (BUS) functionality could be implemented in the LEC, as a separate unit connected to the IP network, and/or implemented in the LES. Different configurations are shown in
The BUSes are preferably arranged in a logical hierarchical architecture as shown in
Each BUS will have an algorithm in order to exclude the possibility of a "broadcast storm" where broadcast messages indefinitely are sent between the BUSes. The algorithm could be based on a checksum of the broadcast packet. This checksum will uniquely identify the broadcast packet and is cached by the BUS. If another broadcast packet arrives with the same checksum the packet will be dropped and not forwarded. In an alternative embodiment another algorithm is used, based on a hop counter, similar the Time To Live (TTL) parameter used in IP networks. The counter will be decremented by each BUS. When the counter reaches zero the packet will be dropped and not forwarded.
The invention according to this description may hence be used in a VPN based on an emulated LAN on top of IP network. The invention according to the description also differs from earlier known technology, since existing VPN solutions use a single broadcast server, and a technical advantage is that it enhances the scalability of VPN implementations.

It's a joke -- when you give me that look, it's a joke!
I'm a good guy with a great sense of humor and humility (despite the requisite shameless self-promotion in this little sales pitch). I'm not expecting to find the love of my life here, but you never know -- it happens in an instant and I've come this close (I'm holding my fingers VERY close together right now) a couple times here already. In the meantime, meeting new and interesting people certainly makes this whole thing worthwhile. If you think you'd like to hang out at the beach, see bands, see movies, and take spur-of-the-moment trips to Las Vegas with a guy with an off-beat sense of humor, drop me a note. Just remember, as Krusty the Klown once so perfectly put it, "I was kidding! I told you -- when you make that face, it means I was kidding!"My perfect match is fun, nice, attractive, can spell any word she chooses to use in a letter (or profile), and has at least some basic grasp of the rules of grammar. She is confident (but not arrogant, of course), energetic, affectionate, and has an unusual sense of humor. She is honest, trusting, trustworthy, and caring -- someone who makes it a point to visit the irritating but well-meaning aunt that all her cousins avoid. She is secure in herself but doesn't take herself (or anyone else, for that matter) too seriously. She and I will be there for each other always, but will not be dependent on each other for everything.

I like to check out bands on Sunset (Metal Skool at The Key Club is a must-see), take spur of the moment trips to Las Vegas, and autumn trips to the tiny lake town in Minnesota that my family fled in 1954 (something to do with frostbite, I imagine).
I love nostalgia (I could spend weeks in the Smithsonian Museum of American History in DC), sleeping in, that song by the Lo Fidelity All Stars that starts "Say 'Hallelujah'" at max volume, ice cream, early Van Halen, "Hash Pipe" by Weezer, and rain.
I spend most of my time seeking out the political advice of celebrities. They're usually so well-adjusted and many have even finished some high school. God bless them! They're truly our nation's greatest treasures.

If Warren Niles and the Oral Roberts basketball team do for the rest of the season what they did in the second half Thursday, he and the Golden Eagles will be all you hear about come March.
Niles hit eight of his nine attempts to help the Golden Eagles shoot 64 percent in the second half and subdue Loyola Marymount 75-66 in a first-round Great Alaska Shootout game at Sullivan Arena.
The win puts Hydaburg's Damen Bell-Holter in a Friday semifinal game against the winner of Thursday's late game between Texas State and Charlotte. Bell-Holter, a 6-foot-9 senior center, ripped down a game-high 13 rebounds and scored eight points.
"All my family was in the stands, and that's only happened two or three times in the last four years," said Bell-Holter, who starred in high school for Ketchikan. "It was a great experience to see family and friends in the stands."
Niles, a 6-5 senior guard, buried 5 of 6 from 3-point range and showed off some flashy moves to the hoop to finish with a career-high 33 points. He did most of the damage in the second half, scoring 14 points in the first eight minutes, nine of them in a 96-second span.
"After the first half, I felt hot after I hit the first 3 and got it going," Niles said. "That's how I get rolling -- if I hit one, I get a lot of confidence."
Niles was dripping with confidence as he drilled long 3-pointers from the top of the key, dribbled behind his back to blow past defenders and powered in for layups. His fabulous second-half performance allowed Oral Roberts (3-1) to pull away from the Lions (2-2).
"Niles is as hot as any player in America right now," Oral Roberts coach Scott Sutton said. "He's been like that the last two games too."
Niles is averaging just under 24 points a game this season and nearly 30 in his last three games (29 points vs. St. Gregory's, 26 points vs. Pacific, 33 points Thursday). He's always been a shooter and a scorer, Sutton said, but this season he's handling contact better and finishing plays.
Loyola coach Max Good contended that his players made Niles look even better than he is.
"They decided they want Warren Niles to go right to the Hall of Fame in Springfield after this year," Good said. "He's not a driver, he's a shooter, but we just didn't do a good job of guarding him at all."
Loyola's offensive answer to Niles was Anthony Ireland, a 5-10 junior guard who pumped in 30 points on 11 of 21 shooting. He scored his team's final eight points in a desperate effort to bring the Lions back in the final 1 minute, 24 seconds.
Loyola held a tenuous lead through much of a tightly contested first half before Niles gave Oral Roberts its first lead, 26-25, with a 3-pointer at 3:15.
The Golden Eagles led 30-27 at the half and grabbed command early in the second half. Steven Roundtree provided the initial spark, scoring two straight layups and then drawing a charge to force a turnover.
Oral Roberts converted with the 3-pointer that got Niles going, and at the 17:43 mark the Golden Eagles' lead swelled to 37-27.
With Niles leading the way, Oral Roberts hit 16 of 25 shots in the second half, or 64 percent.
"We shoot 65 percent the rest of the year, we're not gonna lose many games," Sutton said.

Happy 25th Birthday, Taylor Swift!
Taylor Swift turns 25 years old today.
And it's safe to say the artist has had a solid 2014.
Taylor Swift turns 25 years old today.
And it's safe to say the artist has had a solid 2014.
Taylor Swift won't be singing any songs about heartbreak or unrequited love today.
In fact, the artist won't be singing at all; instead, she'll be the one being sung to, as friends and family members get together to wish Swift a happy birthday.
23. No, it's not the number of boyfriends Taylor Swift has had this year.
It's her age, as the musical superstar celebrates a birthday today!!!
Taylor Swift turns 22 years old today and one thing is certain: the superstar has no shortage of friends with whom she can celebrate.
Just consider her duets over the past few months alone: Swift sang with Selena Gomez in NYC; with Flo Rida in Miami; and with Usher in Atlanta, just to name a few.
Pop some champagne today, readers, Taylor Swift turns 21!
There's little that can be said about the artist at this point, and even less that can be purchased for her as a birthday present.
For her 20th birthday, we were gonna get Taylor Swift a quartet of Country Music Awards. But she already has those.
Then, we were gonna ensure her nomination for a slew of Grammys. But, nope, the singer has snagged those, too.

Cocaine use disorder is characterized by chronic cycles of abstinence and relapse. Prevention and treatment of cocaine use disorder could be greatly advanced by a more comprehensive understanding of its neurobiological underpinnings. Alterations in the serotonin and glutamate neurotransmitter receptor systems in the brain are putative molecular mechanisms, which may be involved in the propensity to relapse to cocaine use. We optimized and implemented a quantifiable and reproducible automated Simple Western assay in Wes™ to examine serotonin and glutamate receptor expression, as well as protein:protein interactions from rodent brain samples.
In this webinar, Dr. Noelle Anastasio, Assistant Professor, Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Texas Medical Branch; and Sarah Swinford-Jackson, Graduate Assistant, Center for Addiction Research, University of Texas Medical Branch, will discuss:

Benoit Pouliot: not tendered qualifying offer (June 27)

Play him in an offensive system or simplified offensive role and watch him flourish. This is a player who has had to work against his natural talents since he came into the league with varying levels of success and no real progression. In order to gain confidence, he needs to produce. In order to produce, he needs to go back to his basics, what got him into this league in the first place.
This would be difficult to do in Montreal because of how we match up lines. We match talent with talent and base our game around solid two-way play, something Pouliot has yet to master to the point where he can take on a top NHL line. If we were to roll three offensive lines and bring in another top six forward, he may have an opportunity here but, based on the players we have available to us now. Another option is putting Desharnais up with Eller and Pouliot but there's a lot of uncertainty there.
Another option could be to package him with our first round draft pick to a rebuilding team for a younger player who who suits our needs and can play in the top six. As an example, let's say to Ottawa for Nick Foligno and their second round draft pick. Ottawa gives up a promising, young forward who doesn't mind playing in the corners or in front of the net which suits Montreal's needs and in return upgrade their 36th overall pick to the 17th and get an enigmatic player with a ton of skill and a lot of potential. Benoit Pouliot gets a fresh start in an environment where he has room to make mistakes as Ottawa (/Florida/Edmonton/the Islanders) is not expected to be competitive this season and likely gets time to play his game with established players between Michalek, Spezza, and Alfredsson (or players like them).
That's my 2 cents on Pouliot. Productive thoughts are always welcome, particularly as I'm not really sure of values of players/picks.

Elton Bank HotelManchester, England
Really enjoyed our stay. Quiet and clean. Perfect for a quick break. No common room area, but we didn't need to use one.
Isaacs HostelDublin, Ireland
Bit of a party hostel when I was there. Great facilities, helpful staff, lots going on. A bit noisy, but still recommended. Take ear plugs.
Balkan Han HostelSarajevo, Bosnia And Herzegovina
Great host in Unkas (hostel owner) and excellent location not far from the city centre. Secure, clean, internet a little slow but that was a minor thing really, could be hard to get showered if hostel is full. Not many people seemed to speak English when I was there so it was hard to make conversation. Unkas is a great guy - I left my phone there and he sent it on to Belgrade where I was stopping over for a transfer so I could be reunited with it the same day. Brilliant service. Thanks.
Guest House TasoMostar, Bosnia And Herzegovina
Really great hostel in Mostar. Taso is a relaxed and friendly guy and really does his best to make you feel at home. The atmosphere was one of the best in all my travels around Europe, totally chilled and it was easy to talk to the other guests and get to know them. The tour is great to Kravice Waterfalls etc. Great place to stay and get to know a bit more about Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Hostel & Rooms Ana - Old Town DubrovnikDubrovnik, Croatia
Ana (the hostel owner) is a great host, she makes sure that everything is fine and treats you like one of the family. The hostel is near the harbour of the old town in a great location. Lockers provided and free internet access. Really enjoyed my stay here.
Edinburgh BackpackersEdinburgh, Scotland
Great staff. Stayed in the annexe. Room was poky and not well ventilated. Mens bathroom was a bit grubby. Location is excellent and overall experience is decent.
Hatters Backpack Hostel -BirminghamBirmingham, England
Staff were great. Facilities great. Free ear plugs - amazing :)

Euro Hostel GlasgowGlasgow, Scotland
Big old place. Beds are a bit like prison bunks, but for a short stay in the city centre it is absolutely ideal.
Hotel Sct ThomasCopenhagen, Denmark
A great little hotel (the rooms are a bit small, but tidy and clean). Staff were great and very helpful. Not bad for a first stay in Copenhagen.
Fluxus HostelLjubljana, Slovenia
Great staff, very friendly. Good little hostel, but short on amenities. Free tea/coffee would be a bonus.
Inner AmsterdamAmsterdam, Netherlands
Decent hostel, lack of a good lounge. Good bar, staff okay. Room clean. No lockers for stuff so marked down on security. Great location though, near Leidseplein and art museums.
The Hostel B&B Utrecht City CenterUtrecht, Netherlands
Weird hostel this. Great location, but shabby and the security isn't great in terms of the other hostellers - there are no lockers to speak of. When I was there it was 33 degrees and the place stank like a pole cat. It was also hard to work out who worked at the hostel and who didn't. All the staff were unhelpful/fairly unfriendly except for one Irish girl who was great. Still, free internet, free drinks, free food (not the best). Good selection of entertainments. A 5 out of 10
Flying Pig DowntownAmsterdam, Netherlands
Staff okay, a bit of a dead atmosphere at the place. Rooms passable. Great location though, just outside city centre.

Coming in March on FRONTLINE
March 4, 2014, 11:56 am ET
Never miss another FRONTLINE story. Become a FRONTLINE Insider by subscribing to our newsletter, and we'll send exclusive updates on our investigations right to your inbox.
From an award-winning investigation of rape and sexual assault in America's farms, fields and factories, to a close and deeply personal look at the rise of drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis, here's what's coming up next on FRONTLINE.
March 18: Rape in the Fields (Encore Presentation)
For many undocumented women working in America's farms, fields and factories, sexual assault — and even rape — is part of the job.
It's a hidden reality that's revealed in Rape in the Fields — a 2013 collaborative investigation from FRONTLINE, the Investigative Reporting Program at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, the Center for Investigative Reporting, and the Spanish-language network Univision that was recently honored with the 2014 Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award for excellence in broadcast and digital news.
"These women live in fear, but they were willing to go on camera to tell their stories at great personal risk," says FRONTLINE correspondent Lowell Bergman. "They didn't want to see it happening to other women."
March 25: TB Silent Killer
Tuberculosis was once thought to be a disease of the past. But with virulent new drug-resistant strains emerging faster than ever, and outbreaks taking place across the world (including in the U.S. and Europe), TB — passed simply by a cough or a sneeze — is the second leading cause of death from an infectious disease on the planet.
In TB Silent Killer, a special 90-minute FRONTLINE documentary premiering during World TB Awareness Month, filmmaker Jezza Neumann (Poor Kids) travels to Swaziland, the country with the world's highest incidence of TB. With startling intimacy and emotion, TB Silent Killer delivers an unforgettable portrait of the people at this pandemic's epicenter — and the threats they're facing simply by living their daily lives.
"The fact is, we cannot choose the air we breathe," a nurse working in Swaziland tells FRONTLINE. "And hence, anyone can get TB."
