More people in the U.S. are taking their Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL[1]) iPad to work to help them get the job done. An IDG Connect survey found that 51% of managers with iPads say they "always" use the device at work, while 40% sometimes do, and 79% say they use the iPad for business when outside the office.
In particular, the multifunction, touchscreen favorite is making headway as a business tool in the pharmaceutical and financial services industries, where sales representatives use the tablets to show product information to clients. Banks and financial services firms also have developed iPad-compatible software applications that let clients check accounts without logging into their PCs. It's not much of a stretch to suspect that iPad adoption could become widespread in other industries, including healthcare, education, music, retail, and those offering residential and commercial real estate services.
Much of what's driving iPad adoption in the workpace, however, seems to be based less on anything Apple is doing than on momentum from the product's popularity as a consumer item. Many employees already have an iPhone and an iPad, and because both devices share Apple's iOS 5 operating system, one device can be used to access information on the other. So ease use and convenience are factors. Also, many iPhone and iPad users like the available security features, which, via any of a variety of mobile apps, allow them to track the location of a lost or stolen device and lock up or wipe away sensitive information that may be stored on it.
Although Apple hasn't been especially aggressive in advancing adoption among business users, it does have a purchasing program that lets businesses place large orders for iPad apps. No longer will each employee have to go to his or her iTunes account and enter a code and personal credit card number. The change likely will entice more industries to consider the transition from Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT[2]) Windows-based PCs, a trend that last year contributed to a 1.4% decline in worldwide PC sales last year.
Of course not all businesses will be easily lured from using a Windows-based operating system as their standard business tool. Industries with centralized operations and a need or desire for control over the information that employees carry on their mobile devices likely will be more tentative about making the transition to tablets. Such industries may include security companies or those that are more dependent on government contracts.
That should help Microsoft maintain ties with corporations when it releases Windows 8 later this year. But Microsoft also is counting on Windows 8 to help it make inroads in the tablet market and make up for losses stemming from growing consumer disinterest in PCs.
The tablet-friendly version of Microsoft's popular operating system will be capable of running Microsoft Office, which is more widely used in business. It also will provide very similar user experience across Windows 8-based phones, PCs, and the next version of the Xbox game console. Microsoft also says that more than 100,000 Windows Phone 7.5-compatible apps will be available and working by the time WP8 launches.

What American Businesses Can Learn
What American Businesses Can Learn
May 18, 2011
Eva Jenkins
Career Transition and Leadership Coach, VIP Innovations, LLC
The military strike against Osama bin Laden is a case study in how employee engagement drives success says Washington, D.C. area business consultant Eva Jenkins.
The recent historic military strike against Osama bin Laden is likely to remain front page news for some time to come with lasting impact on both military and political policy-making. As a consultant who focuses on 'human capital' in the business world, Eva Jenkins hopes it will have a far-reaching effect on American corporate policy-making as well.
"The mission provides a striking example of what can be accomplished when employees – in this case a team of highly skilled Navy Seals – are 'engaged,'" she says.
Disengagement Costs $350 Billion Annually
The majority of workers start their careers as enthusiastic, committed employees, but due to poor management, flawed processes and a failure in leadership, they quickly become disengaged. Research by the Gallup Organization reveals that the longer an employee stays with a company, the less engaged he/she becomes.
Inevitably, disengagement begins to eat away at the foundation of a company, translating into low productivity, lost profit and sales, and lower customer satisfaction. Gallup estimates that "actively disengaged employees cost the American economy up to $350 billion per year in lost productivity."
Taking Pride in the Greater Good
SEAL training puts an emphasis on teamwork and success and is measured in terms of shared mission objectives, rather than individual success. Similarly, in a corporate setting, engaged employees have a strong connection to the goals of the organization and to a large degree they define success in terms of corporate profits, rather than personal gains.
In both situations,
clearly stated goals and ongoing training
are essential to the process.
Regardless of the business niche, whether it's an elite team of military operatives or the men and women on the line at a 'widget' factory, employees must receive clear communication from their supervisors if they are to remain engaged. They need to see the 'big picture' so they can understand their role in it and be proud of the value of their contribution.
It is also important that employee performance be evaluated on a regular basis and that workers receive training and support in any area where their skills are lacking. SEALs are in training for 30 months before they are deployed. Sadly today, most American employees are expected to 'hit the ground running' with very little input from the people who have hired them.
"Everyone has a role that carries with it certain responsibilities from the CEO to the CSR," says Jenkins. She points to the 2011 Employee Engagement Report from BlessingWhite Research that stratifies an organizational hierarchy into three levels and details three key performance obligations at each level:
Individuals (Employees):
Ownership, clarity and action. "Individuals need to know what they want — understand what the company needs — and then have a willingness to take action to achieve both," says Jenkins.
Coaching, relationships and dialogue. "Managers need to take the time to create and nurture personal, trusting relationships with their employees. They need to discover the individual talents, interests, and needs of the people who report to them and then match those with the organization's objectives," observes Jenkins. "They need to be hands-on with employees and check their engagement level regularly."
Trust, communication and culture. "The most important thing executives can do is be consistent in their words and actions," says Jenkins. "Rather than hiding out in the executive suite, they need to communicate frequently and in depth and align all business practices/behaviors throughout the organization to drive results and engagement."
We're All in This Together
Another essential aspect of employee engagement is strong relationships between coworkers. Engaged employees share an all-for-one and one-for-all commitment to success, while disengaged employees are concerned only about what they 'get,' not what they give.
"Employees that share a strong commitment toward one another have more confidence and are willing to take risks and strive for excellence," "The fact that the SEALs have never left another SEAL behind on a mission and the extraordinary level of success they achieve is a testament to that belief system."
Information is power. Insight and intelligence harness this power to drive results. In business, the right insights at the right time make all the difference in driving smart decisions about your workforce strategy, development and investments.

Congresswoman Maxine Waters (CA-43) released the following statement today after the Supreme Court issued its decision in Shelby County v. Holder. In its decision, the Supreme Court effectively invalidated Section 4 of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965.
"I am deeply troubled by today's Supreme Court decision striking critical protections within the Voting Rights Act. In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court struck Section 4, a provision which outlines the formula federal officials have used to determine which states must clear new voting laws with the Department of Justice. This decision ignores the persistence of discrimination in voting and weakens a vital tool that has protected the right to vote for all Americans for nearly 50 years.
"According to a recent Census Bureau report in 2012, African-Americans voted at a higher rate (66.2 percent) than non-Hispanic Whites (64.1 percent) for the first time since the Census Bureau started publishing voting rates by eligible citizenship population in 1996. These gains can be attributed to the many activists and public officials who mobilized their communities to push back against stringent voter suppression laws that were being adopted in Republican-led state legislatures across the country. These policies and measures included voting restrictions effecting college voters, the elderly, and ex-felons.
"Today's decision must therefore be viewed within the context of the new voter laws that have already passed, and the more restrictive measures that will likely follow in the coming months. Voter suppression laws distort electoral outcomes which can disadvantage vulnerable populations. And as more African-Americans, Latinos, and young voters have become engaged in our democracy, I am concerned that any new voter suppression measures that are developed as a result of this ruling will impact their access to the ballot box.
"In 2006, I was proud to join an overwhelming majority of both Democrats and Republicans who recognized that protecting the fundamental right to vote remains an urgent priority. Counting the votes in both the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, Congress voted by a margin of 488-33 to reauthorize the provisions of the Voting Rights Act that the court struck down today. The conservative majority of the Supreme Court decided that its five votes outweighed the voice and the will of the American people.
"Today's decision requires that Congress act swiftly and with urgency to protect voters and address the persistent threat of voter discrimination. Despite partisan gridlock in Congress, we proved in 2006 that protecting the right to vote is a bipartisan goal. I am committed to working with my colleagues to ensure that the right to vote remains a reality for everyone. We must also continue to educate and raise awareness about the Voting Rights Act and impress upon people the importance of the law in ensuring that all Americans' voting rights are protected."

This work reports on the development of a Lead Lanthanum Zirconate Titanate (PLZT) bulk ferroelectric poled ceramic structure as a Piezoelectric Plethysmograph (PZPG) sensor. The ceramic was implanted during its fabrication with a platinum (Pt) wire which works as an internal electrode. The ceramic was then submitted to an experimental setup in order to validate and determine the Pt-wire mechanical effects. This PZPG sensor was also mounted on a finger splint in order to measure the blood flow that results from the pulsations of blood occurring with each heartbeat. Fingertip pulses were recorded jointly with an ECG signal from a 25 year old male to compare the time shift; the PZPG sensor guarantees the electrical isolation of the patient. The proposed PZPG has several advantages: it can be adjusted for fingertip measurements, but it can easily be extended by means of spare bands, therefore making possible PZPG measurements from different body locations, e.g., forehead, forearm, knee, neck,
Among piezoelectric materials, Lead Lanthanum Zirconate Titanate (PLZT) is one of the most popular. PLZT is a ferroelectric solid solution with wide-ranging material properties that depend on its composition [
The Pt-wire cylinder dimensions are 10 mm high and 0.3 mm diameter; this gives a surface area of 9.42 mm2. The surface area of one of the faces of the ceramic is 78.53 mm2, making the surface area of the ceramic 8.33 times bigger than that of the Pt-wire.
Pt-wire implanted into bulk PLZT ceramic behaves singularly in the CCP due to the domains coating the Pt-wire, as shown in
When the CCP is poled, it originates a great concentration of domains on the Pt-wire because the dipoles are oriented over all its external part. These concentrations achieve free flux charges around the Pt-wire when CCP is excited by stress on its side face.
Considering that ferroelectric and piezoelectric materials can be used as sensors and actuators, piezoelectric pressure and acceleration sensors, as well as a variety of piezo-vibrators, are now commercially available. The development of ultrasonic motors for a variety of new applications has been dramatic and widespread in recent years. Among piezoelectric ceramics, CCP offers a great variety of applications in medical physics such as the human pulse detection sensor known as PZPG.
In medical physics, micro-circulation of skin blood is a subject of considerable interest due to its role in human metabolism, blood transport from and to the tissue and its role as a liquid coolant of the body in the thermoregulation process.
There are several techniques which are used to follow the blood flow in living tissues [
The non-invasive piezoelectric method uses the mechanical signals for temporal analysis of the skin blood volume pulsations. The periodical increase of blood volume in micro-vessels due to their dilatation during the systolic raise of pressure with the following diastolic contraction over each heartbeat causes corresponding changes in the absorption of the mechanical signals which travel within the working volume.
The measurement of the blood flow is related to the measurement of changes in volume which occur in any part of the body as result from the pulsations of blood with each heartbeat. The instruments that measure volume changes or provide outputs that can be related to them are called plethysmographs. Plethysmographs respond to changes in volume, but there are several devices that in fact measure some other variables related to volume rather than volume itself. One type of these "pseudo-plethysmographs" measures changes in diameter at a certain cross section of a finger, toe, arm, leg or other segment of the body, for example, the non-invasive reflection photoelectric plethysmograph method uses back-scattered optical signals for temporal analysis of skin blood volume pulsations [
The pseudo-plethysmograph techniques have been substantially improved since their origins, thanks to the development of a new PLZT bulk ceramic structure design [
The objective of this work was to explain the effect of the Pt-wire implanted into a PLZT ceramic bulk and validate it in a mechanical experimental setup. Then the heartbeat pulses from a human being detected by this CCP were recorded in an experimental setup. This development also demonstrated the enormous relevance of measuring cardiac pulses at a cross section of the index finger.
A ferroelectric PLZT was chosen; this is a Pb1-xLax(Zr1-yTiy)1-x/4O3 ceramic with x = 0.09 and y = 0.35 (PLZT), generally denoted as (9/65/35). This ceramic was produced by the oxide-mixing technique: the raw materials were mixed by ball-milling with an electronic mill (Pulverisette 2, Fritsch) for 20 min; polyvinyl alcohol drops were added with a rate of 1.5 drops per gram of mixture. Powders then were pressed into discs of 10 mm diameter and 2 mm of thickness; the pressure applied was 3,500 Kg/cm2.
During this process, a Pt-wire of 0.3 mm diameter was implanted in the middle of the ceramic in a transversal way; thus a metallic electrode totally immersed in the ceramic was created. This ceramic was sintered in air with a heater ramp rate of 5 °C/min from room temperature to 600 °C and a second heater ramp rate of 10 °C/min from 600 °C to 1,200 °C; the latter process lasted for one hour in a platinum crucible.
After sinterization, silver electrodes were deposited on the lower face and the Pt-wire of the CCP. Finally the discs were electrically poled, at 1.5 kV/mm for one hour at 60 °C in a silicone oil bath, in order to be used in pulse measurements. The dielectric constant was determined by the capacitance measure. Samples were heated at a rate of 5 °C/min, until 450 °C while the capacitance was measured at 1 kHz with a Beckman LM22A RLC bridge. The dielectric constant was determined by expression (1):
Usually electrodes are tacking at parallel sides and Pt-wire is the third electrode however for this application it will be use one parallel side and Pt-wire as electrodes. The schematic symbol b) used for describing the PZPG and the graphical symbol can be seen in
In order to validate and determine the sensible characteristics of the CCP, experimental mechanical and optical setups were used. Six specific zones were selected at random on a free side face of the CCP in order to detect the mechanical signals (mechanical case),
This setup consisted of constant weight pulses (gram-force) at a frequency of 2.26 Hz on the CCP on the same zones that were used for the optical setup. The components of this setup were a 24 V CD Micro Switch 33VM82-020-11control motor, a SR570 SRS-Low Current Noise Preamplifier and an Agilent DSO3062A oscilloscope. The CCP was struck in a pulsed form controlled by a purposely developed mechanism (
The force applied was 53.9 mN and the signals were recorded with the preamplifier and registered by an oscilloscope which measured the peak to peak voltage in order to create the corresponding graphics showing the magnitude of the direct piezoelectric effect of each record.
In this case we included a set of lenses to reduce the laser beam spot to a 50 μm diameter size. The CCP was placed on an X-Y translation microscope stage controlled by a PC, with a resolution of 50 μm, driven by stepping motors. The analysis of the CCP was done in a zone of 5 mm by 6 mm of a total of 750 points records, as shown in
The experimental setup used in order to obtain the patient's cardiac pulses was as follows: he was placed in a supine position and in order to record the electrical activity of his heart, the electrocardiographic (ECG) electrodes were placed on the lead I. The ECG signal was measured with an isolated Bio Amp 100 by Axon Instruments; this ECG signal was used for educational purposes: later it was compared with the pulse obtained from PZPG. The PZPG was placed on the index finger of the patients' left arm, as shown in
The electrical contacts (electrode, Pt-wire) of PZPG were connected to an SR570 SRS-Low Current Noise Preamplifier amplifier in order to obtain a piezoelectric response; the ECG and PZPG signals were registered in the oscilloscope, which was used as a cardiac monitor and to measure the peak to peak voltage.
Studies of the dielectric constant ɛ as function of temperature in PLZT ceramic samples (with and without Pt-wire) were carried out.
The direct piezoelectric effect was evaluated on selected zones of the CCP; the magnitude of each zone was different, as shown in
Many PZPG studies using the fingertip as the measurement site have been performed. The fingertip PZPG signals are relatively strong, thanks to its anatomical feature of a large vascular bed and, consequently, the presence of an important total pulsating blood volume. The basic design of the device was relatively simple. The PZPG showed satisfactory results due to the signal response, in the cardiac monitor graphics ECG and PZPG detection that provides additional diagnostic information on the vascular blood flow resistance; the cardiac pulses can be obtained by measuring the heartbeat wave propagation time in fingertip site as the time shift between the two corresponding signals ECG and PZPG pulses. The height of the diastolic component of the PZPG relates to the amount of the pressure wave reflection, which relates mainly to the tone of small arteries. The timing of the diastolic component relative to the systolic component depends on the pulse wave velocity (PWV) of the pressure waves in the aorta and the large arteries. This, in turn, depends on the large artery stiffness. The human vascular system is elastic and multi-branched, and each branching partially reflects back the pressure wave [
The PZPG device demonstrated a good performance in optic and mechanic probes as an opacity sensor [
The CCP has an interesting configuration because by the one hand it provides a great ceramic insulator that does not affect human beings and on the other hand it is very significant that this sensor was developed not only for this mechanical field of study, but also has multiple applications in different areas, for example: optics, acoustics, electrical and chemical sensing. Finally is important to mention that an advantage of an implanted ceramic over a conventional ceramic (with two parallel conductive layers) is the increase of a mechanical and optical signal measured due the physical reduction (cutting the piece) making minisensors for multiple uses such as neonatal applications.
On the one hand, these results demonstrated that the PLZT bulk with Pt-wire has the following advantages: the increase in surface analysis is superior due to the Pt-wire, which works as a third electrode; the proposed CCP can be used at much higher temperatures than the conventional Si based sensors; the CCP is easy to make and the size of this bulk material can be modified; finally, the CCP offers good versatility as a mechanical sensor due to its ferroelectricity.
By means of mechanical and optical probes of PZPG it is possible to see the implant effect, since as shown in
On the other hand, it was shown that the PZPG has several advantages. It can be adjusted to the fingertip measurements; however, it can also easily be extended by means of spare bands, therefore it is possible to take PZPG measurements from different locations of the body, e.g., forehead, forearm, knee, neck. It is non invasive due to its mechanical detection and there are no chemical reactions with the body or possible current discharges because it is completely isolated and it does not require external electrical supply. The implant is put into the ceramic during the sintering stage, meaning that no additional step is required, whereas coating the ceramic with a polymer or any other material involves one or more fabrication and characterization steps, which in an industrial process is more expensive. Moreover, this setup eliminates considerable electrical noise.
The timing of the diastolic component and the reflections, according to the place of measure, can be determined with the PZPG. The next step is to develop the interface and software to connect the PZPG sensor to any computer in order to make many recordings at different body locations.

Turns Out Licking Kristen Stewart's Vagina Is Bad For Your Marriage. Who Knew?
For those of you who forget the day true love grew it's last pure, untainted sparkle-erection, Snow White and The Hunstman director Rupert Sanders was caught going down on Kristen Stewart who was Robert Pattinson's girlfriend and more importantly not Rupert Sanders' wife Liberty Ross. And while it seemed like everyone was going to be oddly cool about all this and pretend it never happened, Liberty Ross has apparently decided to defy the Illuminati and file for divorce, so there goes this year's Baby Sacrifice and Chili Cook-Off. Sonofabtich… TMZ reports:
Ross just filed her paperwork in L.A. County Superior Court. She's asking for joint custody of their 2 children — ages 5 and 7.
Ross, who is repped by disso-queen Laura Wasser, is also asking for spousal support, as well as attorney's fees.
Sanders, who is repped by Lance Spiegel, also filed his response to the divorce petition. He's also requesting joint custody. He is not asking for spousal support. As for attorney's fees, he wants to share the costs with Liberty.
"So, listen, Liberty, love. I know this is all my fault, and I completely ruined our family, but what do you say you and I both split the cost of the divorce 50/50 like civil adults? It's just I spent a great deal of money on dental dam- clothes for the kids! Clothes for the kids. The price of shoes today, amirite? Ahaha! Ha… I'll go start writing you giant checks now. Good talk."

A one-metre-high tsunami has hit Japan's northeast coast, the country's meteorological agency says.
The wave was recorded in Ishinomaki, a city in Miyagi prefecture that was badly hit by the tsunami of March 2011, which killed thousands.
A magnitude-7.3 earthquake struck north-eastern Japan earlier on Friday, and the meteorological agency had issued a tsunami warning for coastal areas.
No damage or injuries were immediately reported from the 5:18 pm local time (1918 AEDT) quake, which was centred off the prefecture at a depth of 10km, the agency said.
The region was struck on March 11, 2011, by a magnitude-9 quake, which caused major damage and set off a tsunami that devastated coastal communities.
About 18,600 people died or went missing in the disaster.
No abnormalities were observed on Friday at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in Fukushima prefecture, which borders Miyagi, its operator, the Tokyo Electric Power Co, said.
The plant went into meltdown after it was hit by the March 2011 disaster and has been shut down ever since.
"The Meteorological Agency is warning that the tsunami could surge and come ashore more than once," a report on Japanese national broadcaster NHK's website says.
The US's Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre advised there was no Pacific-wide threat of a major destructive tsunami, based on historical data.
"However - earthquakes of this size sometimes generate local tsunamis that can be destructive along coasts located within a hundred kilometres of the earthquake epicentre," a bulletin from the agency says.
"Authorities in the region of the epicentre should be aware of this possibility and take appropriate action."

Hi all,
I've been stuck on this one all day. I'm trying to build a Ubuntu server to serve Apple's Air Print. I've got the Air Print server setup, but I'm trying to run it over multiple VLANs. This is where things get tricky. I'm trying to put an adaptor on each of the VLAN's but also setup DNS to point to it on VLAN1 (server VLAN).
My Setup:
VLAN1, Eth0 - 10.30.130.33
VLAN2, Eth1 - 10.30.134.88 (DHCP)
VLAN3. - 10.30.144.20 (another machine I'm using for testing)
From each VLAN I should be able ping each Interface. I don't have any rules in place to stop any inter VLAN routing.
Scenario 1: Only Eth0 enabled.
I can ping Eth0 from a computer on each of the VLANs. (Good)
Scenario 2: Eth0 & Eth1 enabled.
I can only ping the interface on the same vlan. So, from VLAN 1 I can only ping eth0, and from VLAN 2 I can only ping Eth1. From VLAN 3 I can ping Eth1, but not Eth0.

I'm not sure of your goal here are you making a router or an AirPrint server?
But if you want to turn linux into a router you need to enable routing in the kernel. There is a kernel parameter that enables data forwarding between the network interfaces. Here is a quick guide that shows you what is necessary.
Also I noticed that you are using a physical ethernet adapter for each vlan. If you are using vlans, you can create a vlan trunk from your switch to your linux box. Just configure your interfaces file with the vlan sub interfaces and you can use a single nic adapter for this unless you have a high bandwidth requirement.
Aug 20, 2013 at 10:13 UTC
Thanks George,
I'm not trying to make a router, I've got one of them. I'm trying to run bonjour advertisement on each of the VLANs using Avahi. I'm not having a lot of luck. Printers showing up on iPads are really intermittent. So I thought I'd back it up by running a few records through DNS (which so far hasn't worked, but I thought I better fix one problem at a time, who knows they could possibly be related). So the DNS records will point to the IP address in the VLAN1. All the client devices will be in the other VLANs.
The machine is running as a VM. So it probably doesn't matter if they're a "physical" network card or all done in one card. I might try the sub interfaces as you mentioned. I've wasted 2 days on this so far, so I'm willing to try anything.
Just to clarify, should I only have one Gateway? (I've tried with and without) The gateway's although different addresses, are the same physical router.
Aug 20, 2013 at 10:44 UTC
In that case you an ignore my previous post it won't help you.
I created a airprint / linux-cups print server using DD-WRT and a home router a few years ago just to see if I could do it. It did work but my home router was under powered but it did work. In this case I only used 1 network.
I'm sure you saw this wiki right? https:/
Just to keep yourself from going insane make sure your firewall is disabled on this box before you start. Once you get the system talking then you can fine tune the fw rules. If I remember correctly avahi uses broadcasts to communicate. You need to ensure that avahi is listening on all interfaces. You can check this by using netstat -an|more to list all of the ports that are listening. I don't happen to recall the avahi port but I think it was in the wiki.

My current testing is showing that I can see Air Print Printers on VLAN2 only, and less than 50% of the time (you can see them after several retries). If I add VLAN3, then I can only see printers on VLAN3 (less than 50% of the time).
When I can see the printer, I can print to it. All test prints have been successful. Being able to see it is the problem.
Aug 28, 2013 at 8:06 UTC
Could you please give us some details of how you have your networking setup to the clients (ipads). Also, you mentioned that this was a VM, how are you doing the VLANing on the Hypervisor? Do you have it on a trunk port? Do the clients have to go across sub-nets or additional switches?
Aug 29, 2013 at 1:31 UTC
Hi Jesse,
The VM is setup with a trunk port, and I've added 3 virtual network cards to the VM. Each card is on a separate VLAN. All VLAN's go back to one switch that does the routing. I have one VLAN for Servers, another for Staff and another for Students. Each has DHCP, and each of the cards has been able to pick up the correct DHCP addresses to match its VLAN.
I tried this same setup with another Windows VM on the same host, and it worked without any configuration required. I can ping each address on each virtual nic.
I started again from scratch, with Ubuntu server, added 3 cards, and I can still only ping the NIC on the same VLAN as the client is on at the time.
Is that what you're after, let me know if you need more.
Aug 29, 2013 at 6:29 UTC
Hi Smitro,
Yes, thank you. Follow up, what is the address space on the VLANs, do they over-lap? If so, it may be a routing issue. What are you using as your default gateway?
Aug 29, 2013 at 10:53 UTC
Hi Jesse,
The default gateway is a layer 3 switch. Have a look at the network configuration in the first post, I don't think there is any overlap there.
Third VLAN not mentioned in the first post is:
I wouldn't think it's a routing issue out on the network, as I can get a Windows Server 2008 R2 VM to do this perfectly by just adding 3 cards and using DHCP on each. If I do the same on a linux box, and I just tried starting again from scratch, add 3 cards one on each VLAN all using DHCP and you can only ping the one on the same VLAN. So I'm not sure, maybe you just can't do it in Linux, seems odd though.
Aug 29, 2013 at 11:09 UTC
I agree it doesn't sound like a routing issue on your layer 3 switch. However, Linux maintains it's own routing tables when you have multiple networks.
Can you post the output of the command 'tracepath' to each of the IP addresses you are trying to ping?
Also, do you have spanning tree protocol enabled on your switches? Are you actively using ipv6 on your network?
Aug 29, 2013 at 11:23 UTC
I'm guessing 'tracert' is the same on windows...
I tried this from the 2nd VLAN. You can see the middle one went straight through, the others just continued to go on until I stopped them.
We're not actively using IP v6, and we are not running the Spanning Tree Protocol (I must get to implementing that one day).
Aug 29, 2013 at 11:39 UTC
I meant the otherway round. Can you do the tracepath from the linux side to a client on each of the three vlans.
Aug 30, 2013 at 12:02 UTC
Correct me if I did this wrong. I ran it on an IP address on each rang. You'll noticed I did the last one twice, and got 2 different results.
Just a thought, I tried pinging each address on the L3 routeing switch.
Also, a couple of days I made some modifications to /etc/network/interfaces based on a post on a forum, this hasn't help though. I added this to each of the interfaces, replacing the gw address with the corresponding gateway and metric 2, and 3.
This changes netstat -nr to look like this.
Hope that doesn't confuse anything, I can put it back.
Aug 30, 2013 at 12:25 UTC
Ah ha, that last netstat makes me think something is messed up in your routing tabels. I have a similar setup with vlans and subnets here and I noticed that you have a lot of default gateways. Here is the output of my netstat -nr:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
10.0.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2
172.16.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
0.0.0.0 172.16.0.23 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
notice there is only 1 0.0.0.0 (ie default gateway, where to send packets when you are not directly attached to the network). So, yes remove the metrics and gateways from your interfaces file reboot or restart networking and run the tracepaths to the client again. Let me know what the outcome is.
Aug 30, 2013 at 12:29 UTC
Quick follow up, can you ping from your layer 3 switch to each of the interfaces on your VM?
Aug 30, 2013 at 4:54 UTC
Ok, just tested it, all 3 interfaces are able to be ping'd from the L3 switch.

Yesterday I shared some up close photos of Mrs. Robin's babies, and commented on how over the last few days they've gone from prehistoric creatures to almost birds. So imagine my surprise today when I checked in on the little family - the soft down has already become little feathers!

Up close with Mrs. Robin's baby birds (photos)
The good news with today's update on Mrs. Robin and her babies is that egg #4 is still in the nest. Whether or not it's going to actually hatch is another story.But the three babies who are here are growing by leaps and bounds! They're holding their heads up with beaks open in anticipation of breakfast. Their feathers are starting to come in. Just a few days ago they looked like science projects, and today they're starting to look like actual birds.I'm fascinated watching M … [Read more...]
Supercell forms in Wyoming – video
I generally stay out of the global warming debate. I'm not a scientist and I wouldn't try to argue science or research with people smarter than I am.But when I saw this video today I had to share a thought:I get that the temperature of the earth is changing.

The notion that man is so powerful that he can cause it to happen.Check out this video of a s … [Read more...]
Mrs Robin's egg – uh oh, did we lose a baby?
Mrs. Robin snuck away this afternoon - to do a little worm hunting, I imagine - so I used that opportunity to sneak into the garage attic to check on the babies. As of yesterday, we had three babies and one unhatched egg.Today, I see three scrawny but growing nestlings ... but no egg.It's possible that the egg is underneath one of the baby birds. There's also the very real possibility that another bird stole the egg. I didn't see any shells in the yard but I'm actually kind of afraid … [Read more...]
Mrs. Robin hatches egg #3, and Mrs. Morning Dove sits on her nest
Curiosity got the best of me this morning, so I snuck outside to see if I could find a moment when Mrs. Robin was off the nest so I could check the hatched egg count. This week found two eggs had hatched - two baby robins!Mrs. Robin had built her next on the ledge of one of our garage attic windows. (And that was quite a struggle!) That means I can go inside the garage attic, look through the window and see right into the nest without touching anything or, theoretically anyway, disturbing h … [Read more...]
Introducing a drinkable book
I'm an avid reader of real books. You know, pages of paper between a paper or cardboard cover.

The dangers of leaving your dog in the car – it's hotter than you think
Here in Western NY, the weather has finally warmed up and it looks like the s-n-o-w is gone until winter.

Las Vegas Foreclosures and Short Sales Real Estate Auctions
Las Vegas foreclosure real estate auctions are one of the best ways to get a great deal on a home, condominium or commercial real estate. Like any other investment, profits gained from buying Las Vegas real estate is proportional to the risk taken and our job is to manage the risk and maximize profits through buying at Las Vegas foreclosure real estate auctions.
Buying from homes, condos or foreclosure real estate auction in Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas, Nevada
Greater Las Vegas real estate auctions, including homes, condos or other foreclosure properties provide buyers with a good opportunity to find bargains or fail miserably.
The process of buying any type of real estate, especially homes and condos at auctions, should be divided into separate categories, each needing a separate area of expertise.
When a borrower fail to pay his mortgage for a while, then the lender will foreclose on the property by running it at the Trustee Sale Auction (foreclosure auction) where the act of foreclosure takes place. If the property is not purchased by a third party, then it becomes bank owned (REO) which will then be listed in the Las Vegas MLS. Those properties that fail to sell at retail prices will be auctioned in a bank owned real estate auction like the auction dot com, homesearch or Hubzu. We discuss buying from the Trustee Sale Auction separately the rest is discussed in buying from Foreclosure (bank owned or Repo) real estate auctions.
Concluding a risky real estate transaction and the expertise that is essential in buying from a real estate auction are explained below.
The real foreclosure real estate auction, Las Vegas Trustee Sale Auction
We go into much more detail about Las Vegas real estate auctions in a series of blog posts in our Las Vegas real estate blog. Here are sample blog posts like
- Want to buy from a Las Vegas home or condo auction? Know what you are doing
- Las Vegas foreclosure auction, process and pricing
Concluding a risky real estate transaction through buying at Las Vegas foreclosure auctions
- The sale is usually AS IS. Meaning the home or condo or commercial real estate is purchased as is where is. Depending on the type of the sale, disclosures and warranties could be waived and not given to the buyer. After you close your deal, if the roof of the property comes down, tough.
- The fact that these properties are sold as is doesn't mean that you have to buy them as is. Ask us how.
- Auction companies put the information such as CC&Rs (Covenants, Codes and Restrictions enforced by the applicable home owner's association HOA), preliminary title, and a purchase contract and other due diligence material on their web-site. Buyers are advised about reading all pertinent due diligence information prior to bidding.
- Auction requires you to be at least pre-qualified, if not they have mortgage officers at the sales site to pre-qualify you.
- If you haven't followed our
instruction for the best Las Vegas real estate deal and have the auction company
finance you, you have missed the opportunity to shop for the
best mortgage rate and terms.
You are locked into one lender at
the bidding time (you make an official offer). The auction
company may be paid a referral fee from the on-site lender at
your expense.
When you get a mortgage, annual percentage rate (APR) and other loan origination fees impact your bottom-line and monthly payments. Obtaining a mortgage that charges you higher interest rates or loan origination fees can wipe out any discount that you got by buying an auction property.
- The final price doesn't include financing charges, auction fees and closing cost.
- Buyers are expected to pay a commission (premium) to the auction company in addition to the amount of their winning bid. For example 5% of the final bid price will be added to your final bid amount to arrive at the final sales price.

Trippin' Lyrics
Living a different way. You can't expect me to be the same.
Separating our lives and wondering why.
Face down I walk away. Every time I think I do the right thing,
you turn your back on me.
Trippin' into a world that never seems too far away.
Too much time, too many wasted days.
How can you be this way? Now I'm alone and cold today.
I'm walking dead man's drive. Reaching out for my life.
I've been known to f*ck up everything.
In this skin there's a broken man.
Trippin' into a world that never seems too far away.
Too much time, too many wasted days.
Just another vision in my world!

WWC has always been about Innovation, but the amount of traffic devoted to innovation in higher education has grown over the last two years. In fact, the most popular articles are the ones that talk about how to transform colleges and universities. I've tried to categorize the posts accordingly, but it now seems like a good idea to create separate WWC sites, one devoted exclusively to innovation in education and the other devoted exclusively to private sector innovation.
Of course, I am not taking the term "exclusively" too seriously, so you will still find comments, articles, and feeds that relate to both. But for the most part, the worlds of execution and innovation will be bouncing off each other at
Meanwhile, all of the inconsistencies that make universities such interesting places will be colliding at

Stop the theft of Public Assets
Stop the theft of Public Assets
Protesters occupied a house in Sandringham last night in protest of the selling of two state homes (94 and 96 Haverstack Road), set to be auctioned off this morning at 4 Viaduct Harbour Ave.
State homes are an essential asset to Aotearoa and provide families with shelter and life chances.
This occupation represents the reclaiming of public housing, which is being sold off around New Zealand to private developers, with little solutions to solve the housing crisis. The selling of state homes uproots communities.
Trouble will continue for those that are involved in the selling of state housing.
Supporters are encouraged to come out and support the protestors during the auctioning of the houses this morning at 4 Viaduct Harbour Ave.

A universal one-way hash function (UOWHF) is a compressing function for which finding a second preimage is infeasible. The seminal work of Rompel (STOC 1990) that one-way functions (OWFs) imply UOWHFs is one of the most important founding results of modern cryptography. The current best known UOWHF construction from any one-way function(on $n$-bit input) by Haitner et al. (Eurocrypt 2010) requires output and key length $\\tilO(n^7)$, which is far from practical.
On the other hand, special structured OWFs typically give rise to much more efficient (and almost practical) UOWHFs. Naor and Yung (STOC 1989) gave an optimal construction of UOWHFs of key and output lengths both linear in $n$ by making a single call to any one-way permutation. De Santis and Yung (Eurocrypt 1990), Barhum and Maurer (Latincrypt 2012), and Ames, Gennaro, and Venkitasubramaniam (Asiacrypt 2012) further extended the work to more generalized settings, namely, 1-to-1 and regular one-way functions. However, the best known constructions still require key length $O(n\\cdot\\log{n})$ even for 1-to-1 one-way functions, and need to make $O(\\omega(1 {\\cdot}\\log{n})$ calls to any known regular one-way functions, or even $\\tilO(n)$ adaptive calls if one wants linear output length at the same time.
In this paper, we first introduce a technical lemma about universal hashing with nice symmetry to the leftover hash lemma, which might be of independent interest. That is, if one applies universal hash function $h:\\bit{n}\\rightarrow\\bit{a+d}$ to any random variable $X$ of min-entropy $a$, then $h$ will be 1-to-1 on $X$ except for a $2^{-d}$ fraction. We also generalize the construction of Naor and Yung (that was optimal only for one-way permutations) to 1-to-1 and almost regular one-way functions, and significantly extend their analysis. The above yields the following results.
\\item For any 1-to-1 one-way function, we give an optimal construction of UOWHFs with key and output length $\\Theta(n)$ by making a single call to the underlying OWF.
\\item For any known-(almost-)regular one-way function with known hardness, we give another optimal construction of UOWHFs with key and output length $\\Theta(n)$ and a single call to the one-way function.
\\item For any known-(almost-)regular one-way function, we give a construction of UOWHFs with key and output length $O(\\omega(1){\\cdot}n)$ and by making $\\omega(1)$ non-adaptive calls to the one-way function.
where the first two constructions enjoy optimal parameters simultaneously and the third one is nearly optimal up to any(efficiently computable) super-constant factor $\\omega(1)$, e.g., $\\log\\log\\log{n}$ or even less. Furthermore, the constructions enjoy optimal shrinkages by matching the upper bound of Gennaro et al. (SICOMP 2005).

A demo for Batman: Arkham Asylum is set to hit the PlayStation Network this Friday, giving fans of the Caped Crusader a chance to try out the game before its release later this month. The demo will be available for the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360, and the PC, Eidos announced today.
The demo will let you play through the intro of the game, putting you in the shoes of Batman as you and Commissioner Gordon escort The Joker back into Arkham Asylum. Of course you are returning The Joker, and he won't make your task easy. The Joker gains the upper hand and springs a trap, setting the occupants of Arkham Asylum upon Batman. Players can unlock character bios, and get a sneak peak at some of the infamous foes that Batman will encounter within the asylum.
The demo will show off the game's 'FreeFlow' combat system, allowing you to seamlessly land combos with great ease. When the game comes out on August 25 in North America and August 28 in Europe, players will get a chance to fight against villains like Harley Quinn, Bane, Poison Ivy, Killer Croc, and Scarecrow.

Skin Lighteners Buyer's Guide For 2013
A Guide to finding the best products to remove dark spots,
age spots, sun spots and more...
By, Karen Weathers
Senior Editor
Consumers Guides Beauty Advice
With a good Skin Lightener many types of skin blemishes can become a thing of the past.
A good skin lightener can clear up dark spots and age spots in a few weeks, and other smaller blemishes such as spots from acne, can be cleared up in a matter of days.
But which product do you use?
Every skin lightening product claims to offer the best results for the money, but as we know, product claims can be far from the truth - and on top of that, some of them can be downright dangerous.
So how do you know which one to use? Here at ConsumersGuides we spent the last three weeks reviewing the top skin lighteners on the market. We looked at every aspect of what makes a skin lightener effective from the ingredients they use, to how they feel on the skin, to negative reports, and of course, what real women are saying about the results they produce. Here's what we found.
What We Found:
Out of everything we looked at, sadly only a few made the cut. The majority of products simply don't offer the results they should and many of them still use dangerous ingredients.
However there is a few that really do stand out. A couple of the products we looked at did everything right with their formulas. They use all the best ingredients proven in clinical trials to remove all kinds of skin blemishes. Are safe to use.. and got amazing reviews from all their users.
Below are our top products in the skin lightener category. If you are looking for a product to clear up dark spots, age spots, or acne blemishes, these are the ones to use.
#1 Top Choice: CITY Lights Radiance Perfecting Cream
This is the top product out of all the skin lighteners we looked at.
City Lights does everything right with its formula. It's completely safe with no dangerous ingredients, and we found no reports of skin irritation from any of the women who used it... and.. this product works!
How Effective is City Lights?
This is the part we love about City Lights.
We read nothing but amazing things about how well City Lights works.
Women claim this is the product to use for any type of skin blemish.
We read reports of City Lights clearing up dark spots (age spots/sun spots) in as little as 3 weeks. Acne blemishes clear up even faster with women reporting results in as little as 4 days.
One woman even said This product saved her from the $900 she was going to pay for getting IPL/PhotoFacial treatments.
If you're looking for a product that truly works to remove all types of skin blemishes, this is the one to use.
You can check it out with the link below. Give it a try and let us know how it works for you. We know you won't be disappointed.

# 2 Second Choice: Obagi Nu-Derm Clear Fx
The consensus second place pick was Obagi Nu-Derm Clear Fx, which came closest to replicating the results of City Lights.
However, this product uses some potentially dangerous ingredients, and the price tag might scare some consumers away, which kept this product from the top tier of skin brighteners.

#3 Third Choice: Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum
Rounding out the top three was Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum. This was an excellent product in many respects, but just didn't make a strong enough impact on skin tone and luminance to challenge City Lights.
Additionally, it was very pricey, which is surprising given that it didn't have any of the compounds that traditionally drive up the price of skin brighteners.
P.S.While City Lights is the best skin brightening formula we've found, we would still love to hear about any other brighteners you've tried. If you have you had a great experience with a brightener of your own, please send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com with the details. We'll check it out and if it looks good, we'll post it here.
