Configuration of the Tivoli Access Manager Combo Adapter for Tivoli Identity Manager
The TAM Combo adapter has been added to the suite of TIM adapters for TAM. It provides an integration solution that enables TAM and LDAP attributes to be managed through a single TIM account. The adapter also provides the option to manage additional attributes of the inetOrgPerson objectclass.
Both TAM and LDAP support the use of the inetOrgPerson objectclass. However, because of the different way each manages account objects and attributes, it is necessary to have two TIM accounts and custom-built scripts or tools to manage and synchronize related attributes. The TAM Combo adapter provides a customizable method to synchronize related TAM and LDAP attributes through a single account.
It is possible to extend the inetOrgPerson objectclass to allow TIM to provision this customized objectclass through the LDAP connector. However, providing these customized directory attributes or object classes requires a more advanced customization, which requires a more in-depth understanding of LDAP, TAM, IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator (TDI) and TIM. The intention of this article is to provide a description of a TIM customization that assumes the use of the default inetOrgPerson objectclass only.
Basic customization
Basic customization of the TAM Combo adapter assumes that the default inetOrgPerson object class will be used by the TIM and TAM deployments. As a result, no directory service schema changes are required. The TAM Combo adapter must be configured to manage attributes that aren't normally managed through TAM account administration.
Basic customization consists of three steps:
- Addition of new attribute fields on the TAM account form
- Retrieval of the form through the directory service
- Re-packaging and re-importation of the amended TAM Combo profile
Enabling TAM Account Form attribute fields
Login to the TIM application through a Web browser. Go to the Configuration tab and select Form Customization. Select the itamaccount form (Figure 1).
Figure 1. TAM account form customization
Enable any fields that require from the Attribute List and assign them a suitable field editor type.
In this example, we want to add a
givenname field.
Create it as an editabletextlist field so that it can be multi-valued (Figure 2).
Figure 2. Adding a new field to the TAM account form
Save the amended form (Figure 3).
Figure 3. Saving the amended TAM account form
Validating the basic configuration
Make sure that the TAM Combo service allows for the addition of accounts by selecting the "Import or Create user entry" (Figure 4.).
Figure 4. Select the method to add TAM accounts
Test the changes by provisioning a new TAM account using the TAM Combo service.
For this example, provision a new TAM account for a TIM user. The TAM account User ID will be Manager, and will be known in TAM as Timothy Tam. He is also known as Tim, Timbo and Timmy (Figure 5). When the form is complete, submit the request to provision the TAM account, remembering to supply a suitable password.
Figure 5. Provision a TAM account
When the request to provision the account has successfully undergone any workflow, test to see if Timothy Tam is now a TAM
user by using the TAM PDAdmin tool:
pdadmin sec_master> user show Manager
Login ID: Manager
LDAP DN: uid=Manager,o=ibm,c=au
LDAP CN: Timothy Tam
LDAP SN: Tam
Is SecUser: Yes
Is GSO user: No
Account valid: Yes
Password valid: Yes
Check to see that the user has been created by the TIM directory service adapter using the
ldapsearch command:
ldapsearch -h localhost -b "o=ibm,c=au" "uid=Manager"
cn=Timothy Tam
As can be seen in this example, the TAM Combo adapter has been extended to allow the maintenance of multiple given names for TAM users.
Updating the Profile Account Form
If you would like, it is possible to save the form that was created (Figure 3), so that the TAM Combo profile can be re-created later. This option provides a backup of the account form and can facilitate the deployment of the customized account form to another environment if required.
To do this, use
ldapsearch to obtain the updated form. Use a suitable searchbase to export the
eritamservice form from the
erxml attribute.
This will depend on the LDAP container you specified when you installed TIM (
ou=<default organization short name>,dc=<Identity Manager DN Location>). For example:
ldapsearch -h localhost -b "ou=formTemplates,ou=itim,ou=tco,dc=com" -t "erformname=eritamservice" erxml
This will create a temporary file called something similar to
ldapsearch-erxml-xxxxxx. Rename the file to
The original TAM Combo package contains the TAM Combo profile file called
To recreate the profile to include the new account form, do the following:
- Make a backup copy of your original
- Extract the
itamprofile.jarfile to a temporary location as follows:
jar xf itamprofile.jar
- This will produce two directories;
META-INF. Delete the
META-INFdirectory and its contents. It will be recreated automatically when repackaged as the TAM Combo profile later.
- Copy or move the new
eritamaccount.xmlfile to overwrite the one just extracted in the
- From the parent directory of the
itamprofiledirectory, jar the
itamprofiledirectory back up again:
jar cf itamprofile.jar itamprofile
This will produce a new
itamprofile.jarTAM Combo profile file.
Re-importing the new TAM Combo Profile
The newly created TAM Combo profile can be imported to a new TIM installation if required. This may be necessary when setting up a new test environment for example. Although TIM will preserve the changes that were made to the account form (Figure 3), in this case, and simply for demonstration purposes, the new profile will be re-imported simply to verify the changes that were made to the account form. To do this, begin by logging into the TIM application through a Web browser.
Go to the Import tab on the Configuration > Import/Export page and import the
itamprofile.jar file you just created (Figure 6).
Figure 6. Import the TAM Combo profile
Go to the Configuration > Form Customization page and select the
itamaccount form.
Check that the
itamaccount form still contains the
givenname attribute (Figure 7).
Figure 7. Check the TAM Combo form for the new attributes
The new TAM Combo Adapter goes a step further in the integration of IBM Tivoli Identity Manager with IBM Tivoli Access Manager for e-Business. With the release of the TAM Combo Adapter, customers can manage a TAM account and all associated LDAP attributes (and customized attributes) in one place, using a single TAM account of the TIM person. This article provides a customization to the reader on how to use this combo adapter in a single configuration.

Pretoria - A state-of-the-art, multimillion-rand laboratory, the largest stem cell storage facility in Africa, has opened its doors in Tshwane.
It is set to benefit not only South Africans in the treatment and cure of debilitating illnesses, but will offer services to other countries on the continent.
Stem cells have been described as the building blocks of the body, the master cells from which all other cells, tissues, organs and bone are created.
These cells, found in the blood, also have the ability to create the immune system, and modern medicine has found that while these important cells can be found in substances such as bone marrow and fat tissue, the youngest, most flexible stem cells in the body come from the umbilical cord.
Bone marrow stem cells have been used for transplants and transfusions in the treatment of blood-related diseases for many years. More recently, such treatment has used umbilical cord blood.
Research has found that cord blood contains powerful stem cells which have been used to regenerate healthy blood and immune systems, and can be used to treat no fewer than 70 blood and blood-related diseases, which include cancers and immune system disorders.
The discovery of this alternative use of umbilical cord blood was made about 25 years ago, said stem cell expert Dr Cherie Daly.
She said more than 25 000 cord blood transplants had been done to date, the first one in France in 1988, where a sick boy was treated with stem cells from his baby sister's umbilical cord.
"Umbilical stem cells are like family medical insurance, because they are stored for as long as necessary to benefit family members when the need arises," Daly said at the launch of Cryo-Save Laboratories in Pretoria.
The laboratory will also offer services to other countries on the continent, such as Namibia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Kenya. It already stores stem cells from Uganda, Tanzania and Angola.
The facility is part of the Cryo-Save Group, which claims to be Europe and Africa's largest private human stem cell bank, and says it has five international labs holding various accreditations.
Before the opening of the Pretoria laboratory, Cyro-Save sent stem cells for storage at any one of its other processing and storage facilities in Belgium, Germany, Dubai and India.
The facility stores stem cells privately for families.
The samples belong to the families entirely, and they are put through a process that seperates stem cells from blood products before being stored.
Umbilical cord blood stem transplants have been found to be less prone to rejection than those from other sources. This is possibly because the cells have not yet developed the features that can be recognised and attacked by the recipient's immune system.
It has also been found that because umbilical cord blood lacks well-developed immune cells, there is less chance that the transplanted cells will attack the recipient's body.
In the 10 years Cryo-Save hasdbeen in South Africa it had experienced growth in the number of clients, said South African branch managing director Louis Rehrl. He admitted though, that there were efforts to gain more.
One key objective, he said, was to raise awareness and opportunities for young parents. To reach them, the company targeted key areas visited by pregnant women, such as hospital pre-birth classes and obstetricians' and gynaeocologists' rooms.
"We also write informative articles and publish them in mother and baby magazines," Rehrl said.
Plans to expand the marketing base are being considered, and the company has formed partnerships with relevant stakeholders and used mediums such as TV and radio.
It already had a network of doctors trained in how to collect cord blood. Mothers-to-be took their collection kits and documentation with them into the labour room, where trained staff started the collection process as soon as they could after the birth.
The process did not interfere with the birth process, said Daly, who added: "The placenta has a very high concentration of blood; the blood is collected before the placenta is separated, while it is still pulsating."
The blood is taken to the facility, where it is taken through steps that include the separation of the blood and blood tissues, sterilisation of containers and bar-coding.
The stem cells are eventually frozen using a technique that ensures they are alive and viable when eventually defro+cess takes between four and five hours, and they are eventually left in a storage vessel filled with liquid nitrogen, at –196ºC.
Machines are used to process the blood in order to remove the possibility of human error, and to ensure there is no contamination.
The company has spent R10 million in the past year on expansion: "This is to ensure that we provide high quality service in a world class environment," Rehrl said. He explained that they had met and exceeded the prescribed levels of quality, setting a benchmark in their field.
Among the challenges faced by the company in convincing families to store umbilical cord blood was cultural objections, said Rehrl.
"It is a huge challenge and there is a lot of resistance on cultural grounds, especially because it is such a highly technical process."
Through education the word would spread, he said, and the general population would get to understand the opportunities available to them for the treatment of debilitating diseases. - Pretoria News

A series of Beatrix Potter's children's stories staged and told with ballet, and, of course without speech. Stories include the tales of the following famous characters: Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddleduck, Mrs Tiggy Winkle and Piglet Bland.
Upon original release 1971 years ago, the Royal Ballet's interpretation of Beatrix Potter's Victorian children's fables was feted for its groundbreaking furred and feathered costumes and attempted popularisation of the serious business of ballet. For its 20th anniversary, the film celebrates by re-emerging with a new print and a stereo soundtrack.
Although these big screen versions of Mrs Tiggywinkle, Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddleduck, Piglet Bland and posse now look a bit creaky next to the radio-controlled animatronics that brought the Turtles to life, and ballet is no longer the preserve of silk toppered toffs, the production projects charm, sensitivity and delicacy.
However, kiddie sensibilities have moved on. Just as Noddy wouldn't last five minutes with He Man and Blue Peter calls itself "BP", so this film seems out of synch with modern pre-teens. It's too gentle. Not much appears to be happening as the dialogue-free stories are far from obvious. And it's about half an hour too long for those schooled on the short attention span-inducing Saturday morning TV shows - the whole cast finale in a forest clearing is as well-staged as it is well-performed, but would have the average eight year-old squirming on their seat through boredom. Although originally conceived with children in mind, this re-release must be recommended more for adults and their misty-eyed memories of life before computer culture.
This performance wouldn't keep the attention of modern children, but may be of interest to adults due to is excellent performances and staging.

A DISABLED man from Poole said he is 'over the moon' after Poole Housing Partnership (PHP) agreed to reinstate a parking space for blue badge holders outside his home.
As reported in the Daily Echo last month, Darin Ball, who has type one diabetes and damage to his nervous system, said he had 'lost a lifeline' after PHP scrapped the only disabled parking space at his home in Malthouse, Market Close.
Following the decision Mr Ball set up a petition, which received more than 100 signatures from residents calling for the space to be reinstated.
The 42-year-old, who can only walk short distances, said he was delighted the decision had been reversed.
He said: "I'm over the moon.
"I set-up a petition and handed it to them (PHP) with 64 signatures. We got a lot more after that as well – we ended up with around 120."
Mr Ball said he was grateful to the Daily Echo for highlighting the issue and for everyone who signed the petition.
"If it wasn't for the Echo I don't think we would have got it back, he said.
"I would also like to express my thanks to the residents who have been very helpful and reassuring, especially in Market Close.
"It's only when you go out and start petitioning you see every walk of life and there are a lot of people out there who are disabled, often people that are worse off than yourself," he said.
Steve Richards, director of housing management at Poole Housing Partnership, said the bay had been reinstated following a trial period. Mr Richards said: "We temporarily suspended the disabled parking bay at Malthouse in response to reports that the space wasn't being used.
"Following a trial period, the bay has been reinstated, and we are continuing to work with residents to balance the needs of everyone living in the area."

This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful
Throw it away!I do not like this product for various reasons. To start with, It doesn't work well my skin tone (Combination) because the area right under my eye seems to get oily. So it'll just slide off in an hour or two. I put it in my little make-up pouch in my bag and I just let it be untill I realised I had some silver particles sticking to my brushes and macara. I realised it was from the cap of this blush. Bad! — 6 years, 1 month agoParo | 32 reviews

The Body Shop Cheek BlushIf some of the people have read my reviews, most of the products I try are from The Body Shop. I use their cheek blush alternately to their lip and cheek stain depending on my mood or how oily my facial skin is that day. I like the fact that it comes in a very compact tube so it's always in my bag. I keep it as back up for small touch ups. It's the type of make up that you don't need a whole ...read moreproduction number to use. Just a small amount on the apples of my cheeks and I'm set. It looks very natural and makes me look healthy and it doesn't look as though i even have make up on which is a plus for me. It blends well on my skin weather I have foundation on or not. It blends well with my pressed powders and does not disappear. I sometimes use it as a base for my eyeshadow and it works and blends well. It slides off my skin a little when I blot my face with oil absorbing paper. It doesn't last as long as their lip-cheek stain variety and what I don't appreciate is the price for the amount of cream-gel product inside the tube compared to the same type of product in the market. But one can debate that a little of this product goes a long way so it's actually cheaper than its competitors. You be the judge, alot of the body shop products are a more expensive than other products because of the ingredients they use and they use no short cuts meaning no animal testing so that's part of what we pay for. — 8 years, 7 months agohathor2 | 18 reviews

NEW YORK (Jan. 30)
A four point program for the post-war solution of Jewish problems stressing "an international bill of rights for the individual, as well as the state," was promulgated by Judge Joseph M. Proskauer, president of the American Jewish Committee, in his presidential address today before the thirty-seventh annual meeting of the American Jewish Committee.
Before two hundred Jewish leaders assembled from throughout the United States for an all day conference at the Hotel Weldorf Astoria, Judge Proskauer said that "the titanic assault by which the Nazis singled out the Jews for special destruction" can be repaired only by:
1. "The setting up of a program of relief for Jews suffering as a result of the havoc and ruin of Axis barbarism. This means that mass evacuation must not be the rule, but the exception necessitated by specific economic necessities.
2. "The establishment of "a new international bill of rights for the individual, as well as the state in which the narrowing forces of supernationalism and chauvinism must, in these aspects, give way to the demands of justice and reason."
3. The international supervision of "a program of emigration when necessary. This is not a situation," Judge Proskauer said, "which Jews alone should or can meet." He pointed out, however, that it will be the duty of Jewish organizations to give such help as they can in the fields of both relief and emigration.
4. The safeguarding and development of Palestine "as a center of economic, religious and cultural lives for Jews who desire to live there." Judge Proskauer pointed out that the American Jewish Committee has urged Great Britain to abolish the Palestine White Paper of 1939 "which discriminates against immigration of Jews." He made it clear, however, that Palestine must not be considered "the exclusive or the complete solution for the Jews of Europe" and that no matter what "the political constitution of Palestine should be there could be no political identification of Jews outside of Palestine with whatever government may be there instituted."
For Palestine, itself, the American Jewish Committee recommends "an international trusteeship responsible to the United Nations" which would "safeguard Jewish settlement and immigration into Palestine and guarantee adequate scope for future growth and development to the full extent of the absorptive capacity of the country." The Committee further recommends the establishment "within a reasonable period of a self-governing Commonwealth under a Constitution and a Bill of Rights that will safeguard and protect the fundamental rights of all inhabitants and the holy places of all faiths."
Judge Proskauer, who was re-elected to the presidency of the American Jewish Committee, discussed the problem of bigotry in the United States. Deploring the growth of "venal organized manifestations of anti-Semitism which seek either sordid money or sordid political power," he warned Jews against "taking counsel of our fears." He urged a policy "of decency and brotherhood, and not divisiveness and hostility" in the solution of specific problems of anti-Semitism.
The official report of the executive committee, read by Mr. Jacob Blaustein, chairman, praised President Roosevelt for his recent appointment of a War Refugee Board which was called "the most constructive thing done thus for towards the rescue from the Nazis of as many Jews and other persecuted minorities of Europe as possible." Great faith in the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Agency was also expressed by Mr. Blaustein who emphasized that "the task before the UNRRA is so huge that it will need whatever cooperation private agencies will be able to give."
Mr. Blaustein's report as chairman of the executive committee recognized that "Nazi propaganda techniques have succeeded to no inconsiderable extent in creating and increasing group hatreds and suspicions between various sections and fragments of the population of the United States." He warned that "post-war conditions unfortunately are often propitious for the exploitation for political purposes of general group hostility and anti-Jewish prejudice, should there be social and economic dislocations and political strife at that time."
The overseas problem facing world Jewry was discussed by George Z. Medalie, chairman of the Overseas Committee, who explained the necessity for "the establishment of an international Bill of Rights of Man to invasion of his rights by reason of race or religion"
"At the conclusion of the first World War," Mr. Medalie said, "it was widely thought that the system of minorities guarantees would insure Jewish equality. The fact that the status of the Jews throughout Europe has deteriorated so drastically since then is not a perfect proof of the failure of minorities rights, since that deterioration can perhaps with even greater justice be attributed to the general breakdown of international morality and social stability during the Long Armistice. Nevertheless, our faith in the system of minorities guarantees has been shaken; some students entirely reject it." Mr. Medalie urged that the gates of Palestine "be kept open to the full limits of its economic absorptive capacity."
Morris D. Waldman, vice-chairman of the executive committee, urged that post-war peace planning stress human self-determination, rather than national self-determination. "This principle of national self-determination, product of the first World War," he said, "was largely responsible for the present global catastrophe. In order to insure world peace in the future, this war will have to produce something different from that of the first World War. Predominant international thinking is in the direction of a world order that repudiates racist state theory. If we are to have a lasting peace, the equal rights of all inhabitants of every country, regardless of race or forced, must be insured."
Dr. John Slawson, newly elected executive vice-president, indicated the basic philosophy of the American Jewish Committee when he said: "American Jews, like all Americans, must be global in their outlook; they must be neither provincial nor isolationist. The American Jewish Committee must make available to American Jews all the background material necessary to complete understanding of problems of particular interest to Jews so that, both as Americans and as Jews, they can make seasoned decisions based upon fact, rather than judgments based on emotionalism nourished on a diet of concentrated propaganda."
Mr. David Sher announced a change in the corporate structure of the American Jewish Committee, approved by the annual meeting, which provides for a general membership in the American Jewish Committee "to all Jews who are citizens of the United States and who desire to aid in furthering the purpose and program of the organization" and the creation of local chapters of the American Jewish Committee in cities and localities throughout the country.
Officers elected, besides Judge Proskauer, were: Jacob Blaustein, chairman of the executive committee; Morris D. Waldman, vice-chairman of the executive committee; Alan M. Strock, chairman of the administrative committee; Judge J. J. Kaplan, Boston, Judge Edward Lazansky, Brooklyn, Judge M. C. Sloss, San Francisco, Fred Lazarus, Jr., Columbus, Judge Horace Stern, Philadelphia, and Henry Wineman, Detroit, vice-presidents; Dr. John Slawson, executive vice-president; Victor S. Riesenfeld, secretary; Ira M. Younker, treasurer; Nathan M. Ohrbach, associate treasurer.

Jamie Koe is keeping it simple, even after a breakout performance at the Canadian men's curling championship.
An historic result at the 2012 Tim Hortons Brier for his Territories team, with the added flourish of a Koe-versus-Koe playoff game, were entertaining storylines in Saskatoon.
Koe's Yellowknife team were the first Territories representative to make the playoffs at the Canadian championship since playoffs were introduced to the format in 1980.
The Koe foursome went 7-4 in the preliminary round, including an upset win over eventual Canadian champion Glenn Howard, to claim the fourth and final playoff berth.
Jamie Koe faced his brother Kevin's team from Alberta in the Page playoff between the third and fourth seeds. Jamie lost the playoff game to his younger brother and then the bronze medal game to Manitoba.
But for a region of the country that often struggles to be competitive at the Brier, finishing fourth among some of the best curling teams in Canada was significant.
Koe, third Tom Naugler, second Brad Chorostkowski and lead Robert Borden return to the Brier in Edmonton this year hoping to re-capture some of that magic from Saskatoon. Koe is skipping the Territories at the Brier for the seventh time in his career.
"I think we see ourselves as a middle-of-the-pack team," Koe said Saturday. "We're not going to make the playoffs every year, but the years we get hot, we think we'll be contention and that happened last year.
"We just have to give ourselves a chance this week, stick around the middle of the pack and try and set ourselves up for Friday to win a couple of games and get ourselves in the playoffs."
The top four teams at the conclusion of the round robin Friday make the playoffs.
Brad Gushue of Newfoundland and Labrador won twice Saturday and was alone at 2-0. Koe was 1-1 after opening day.
Manitoba's Jeff Stoughton stole a point in an extra end to beat Alberta's Kevin Martin 5-4 in a battle of curling heavyweights Saturday night.
Manitoba joined defending champion Glenn Howard of Ontario, Northern Ontario's Brad Jacobs, Saskathewan's Brock Virtue and Quebec's Jean-Michel Menard at 1-0.
Martin was 0-1 along with B.C.'s Andrew Bilesky and Nova Scotia's Paul Flemming. New Brunswick's James Grattan and Prince Edward Island's Eddie MacKenzie opened 0-2.
The Territories representative at the Brier is currently decided via playoffs between teams from Northwest Territories and Yukon, but the Yukon didn't sent any teams to Fort Smith, N.W.T., this year.
"They had nobody interested in travelling," Koe explained. "That knocked off our second stage of playdowns. We lost about six competitive games. We ended up just playing four to get here. That really hurts us."
Next year's Territorial playdowns are scheduled to be in Whitehorse. Koe says that means flying from Yellowknife through both Edmonton and Vancouver to get to Whitehorse.
"You fly through two other provinces to get to your provincials, is basically what it is," Koe said.
While the Brier favourites such as Alberta's Kevin Martin and Howard travel to World Curling Tour events across Canada and play each other often during the winter, Territories teams are at a disadvantage because of the distance and money required to do that.
So even though last year's Brier result showed the potential in Koe's team, they didn't attempt to mimic the competitive schedule of the teams of the south.
"We just have no interest in the long travel weeks and coming home for a couple days to work and see your family," the 35-year-old skip explained. "It's not where we're at in our lives right now.
"The travel is tough. It's so expensive to do it too. It's really not about the money, but the time away from your family. We've all got young kids. We're all young in our careers."
Koe and Borden both work for the Territorial government, Naugler runs and owns a technology company and Chorostkowski owns a lodge.
Koe and company played in WCT events in Red Deer, Alta., and Calgary last fall and reached the semifinals in Calgary. But most of their Brier preparation is simply throwing rocks as often as they can at the Yellowknife Curling Club.
Their Brier coach Terry Shea is the icemaker there and gives them a sheet of ice with as much curl as he can muster to simulate ice conditions at the national championship.
"We do train hard all year just for this event," Koe said. "This event is our whole season basically. It's what we look forward to and practice for."
Also Saturday, Alberta second Marc Kennedy won the Ford Hot Shots competition preceding the opening draw. He defeated Ontario third Wayne Middaugh to win a two-year lease on a car.Report Typo/Error

REYKJAVIK – Iceland's Bardarbunga volcano began erupting Saturday under the ice of Europe's largest glacier, prompting the closure of nearby airspace.
Thousands of small earthquakes have rattled the volcano, deep beneath the Vatnajokull glacier, in the last week. Seismic data show magma was melting ice beneath the glacier's Dyngjujokull ice cap. The remote area, 320 km east of the capital, Reykjavik, is uninhabited.
The Civil Protection Department said scientists flew over the ice cap Saturday but saw no visible signs of the eruption on the surface. Still, the country raised its aviation alert to red, the highest level on a five-point scale, indicating the threat of "significant emission of ash into the atmosphere."
Iceland also declared a no-fly zone of 100 nautical miles by 140 nautical miles around the eruption as a precaution, but did not shut down air space over most of the nation. "All airports are open and flights are on schedule," said spokeswoman Olof Baldursdottir.
A 2010 eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajokul volcano produced an ash cloud that caused a week of international aviation chaos, with more than 100,000 flights canceled.
Authorities said it was not clear when, or if, the eruption would melt through the ice, which is 100 to 400 meters thick, and fling steam and ash into the air. It could take up to a day for the ice to melt, or the eruption may remain contained.

I'd love an invite if anyone has an extra, please! The Firefall forums dried right up when the NDA on the beta dropped. I'd love to see a RPS group, as well.
Edit: by dropped, i meant came into effect- i realize it's still up and going. I was super tired when i posted that, whoops.
umm. the NDA is still active for FireFall.
I've been in the beta for a couple months now.. the NDA is still very much in effect.
ah ok.. yeah, that makes more sense. :)
Just didn't want anyone getting in trouble is all. :)
10k new invites just went out and existing testers got two more personal invites.
Up for grabs so just let me know, will hold one for Stevo if he still needs one.
weird. Noone really talking about it.
Ive got about 4 invites stored. Don't know anyone interested enough in it. and already got 2 ppl in. So im outa ideas.
Game is fun for sure. Its not one of those (instances, dressed up as open world) games truly fkin huge.
Hmmm, where do you check for invites if you are a tester? I assume your forums account since their website doesn't seem to have a proper games account login but i can't find anything there.
If your in the beta it should take you to the main (beta) page. Tells you all you need to know from there.
Ah...gotcha. It's the Request Beta link which takes me to that page. I didn't try that link for obvious reasons.
Hey, I've been watching this games development for awhile, if anyone has a spare invite they were not going to use, it would be greatly appreciated.
I want one invite. Got to see that the fuss is about, though I suspect it's more WoW.
I'm in the beta, but I can't get the installer to work (I tried everything suggested on their beta forums) so I gave up and haven't played it.
I signed up the moment the beta signups went online but no cigar so far.
I'd love a key if anyone has one to offer. 99% chance I'll have a CS:GO key to trade for it this coming Friday if anyone is interested.
Ooo... May I have one too pretty please?
This game sure does look and sound appealing!
Ive got 4 but I also been in the beta a good while. So I had time to accumulate them. They aren't released often, at least not yet.In fact for as many as they send out... Im almost sure there are tons of people that don't confirm their beta invites.

Research in Motion Earnings Due Thursday
Oooh, there's actually an interesting earnings report due Thursday. Research in Motion is expected to report after the close of trading. Groupthink from market prognosticators calls for $1.76 in EPS on sales of $5.65 billion. Here's some of what the analysts are going to be paying close attention to once the report hits.
Margins: "We believe that RIMM continues to be able to earn average margins on the lower end 8520 product. This could help the company meet margin expectations for FQ4. We are looking for margins of 44.0% vs. the company's guidance of flat margins over FQ3 (FQ3 gross margin = 43.6%)," wrote J.P. Morgan analyst Rod Hall."
U.S. Sales: "We expect RIM's U.S. sales to remain weak, especially with the launch of the CDMA iPhone, and with enterprise customers migrating to iPhone/Android, we estimate [average revenue per user, a closely watched metric] declines 7% q/q in [the fiscal fourth quarter] as a high percentage of [Verizon's roughly 10-to-12 million subscribers on Research in Motion devices] coming off 2-year contracts likely churned to iPhone," Ehud Gelblum, Morgan Stanley.
International growth: "So far, growth in low-[average selling price] segments and international markets has gone beyond our expectations and has supported a good business momentum, more than compensating for the challenging business trends described above. In the last 12 months, RIM's sales outside of North America have grown 98%. Sales in the UK have grown 73%, with Blackberry being the number one smartphone brand in the UK in December last year. We estimate the company also grew shipments by >100% in the rest of Europe, 283% in Central and Latin America, and 180% in the rest of the world," Pierre Ferragu, Sanford Bernstein research.
PlayBook/Outlook: "We believe the success of RIM's May quarter (and F2012, for that matter) rests largely on the shoulders of the PlayBook, which is likely to launch at the end of March. We believe Street expectations and estimates for the PlayBook could prove to be overly ambitious, and they are well above our own," wrote James Faucette, Pacific Crest.

When it comes to light that a prominent liberal Democrat has committed a series of sexual transgressions, there are two typical responses from media outlets: ignore the story and hope it goes away or spin it as best as they possibly can. The latter approach typically involves either highlighting how said politician and his wife are grappling with rebuilding their marriage and family or by virtually lamenting the emotional turmoil suffered by the adulterous pol as a result of his inability to control himself.
A textbook example of the latter was dutifully provided by Time magazine's Dan Kedmey in a September 9 post Swampland blog post headlined, "Report: In a Secret Journal, RFK Jr. Records a Painful Struggle With 'Lust Demons.'" Kedmey picked up on a New York Post exclusive about a journal purportedly kept by Kennedy in which, "[o]n the days he resisted the temptation to have an affair, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. marked the occasion in his secret journal with a one-word exaltation: "Victory!" But on the days of defeat, the ink really began to flow across the page." Kedmey continued (emphasis mine):
In the 398-page journal obtained by the New York Post, Kennedy chronicled his day-to-day activities in 2001, but also maintained a detailed account of his extramarital affairs as he crisscrossed the country for various speaking engagements. According to the Post it was all inscribed in a decoy ledger entitled "Cash Accounts," where he recorded the date of the infidelity, the name of the woman involved, and a code of numbers, ranging from 1 to 10, representing the performance of certain sex acts. Number 10 corresponds to intercourse. Numbers 1 through 9 have yet to be decoded by the Post — so at this point it's hard to know precisely what he did on the day he recorded a 10, 3, and 2 over the course of a single fundraiser at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. (MORE: Former White House Intern Alleges Affair With President John F. Kennedy) But beneath the scrupulous record-keeping are lengthy essays about his struggle to keep what he calls his "lust demons" at bay, according to the newspaper. In a sign of how wild those demons could be, he reportedly writes about a stint in a Puerto Rican jail after he was arrested at a local protest. "I'm happy!" he writes while behind bars, relieved to find respite from the constant temptation to cheat. Kennedy's infidelities caused tremendous problems in his marriage to Mary Richardson Kennedy, whom he portrayed as unstable and abusive. She committed suicide last year. The Post provides the details of the journal here. [New York Post]
Kennedy wrestled with guilt and self-loathing but he's still alive and has ample opportunities to seek psychiatric and spiritual help. His wife, on the other hand is dead, having committed suicide. We don't know to what extent she knew of Kennedy's adulteries or worse, of the score-keeping ledger, but it's understandably hard to empathize with RFK Jr. given the contrast. What's more, no one would or should expect the media to do so were the disgraced political figure the scion of a conservative Republican family and not the media's favored "American royalty."

Hello All,
My friend needs to implement multiple WAPs in a large house. He is wondering how to make all of them use the same Wireless Network Name, for EX: SmithHome, instead of having each being different (SmithHome1, SmithHome2, etc). I know there is way to do it with RADIUS server implementation. Is there a simper way to accomplish this in a home environment, without implementing a RADIUS authentication server?
Thank you!
Nov 26, 2012 at 6:18 UTC
You can setup each WAP with the same SSID and password, however make sure they are on different channels. I would also recommend putting as far apart as possible. For example, WAP1 is on channel 2 and WAP2 should be channel 8 etc

I recommend a cloud solution, or just pick up a 3-pack of the Ubiquiti UniFi gear. If he wants extremely high speeds, the Unifi PRO supports gigabit and 803n speeds, but I don't think you'll need the pro to really get good speeds.
Anyone else know of any good cloud solutions?

Nov 26, 2012 at 6:19 UTC
Merryworks is an IT service provider.
Use the same names but different channels and it should just be able to switch between them without an issue.
Nov 26, 2012 at 6:19 UTC
Forgot to mention, hopefully you have a server/router running DHCP. Be sure to disable DHCP on the WAP's or you'll have all sorts of issues.
Nov 26, 2012 at 6:20 UTC
I'd go the cloud, or internal RADIUS server route (can be done on a low-end Linux box).
Other than that, for a home, you can simply name them with the same SSID, and separate the channels (1,6,11 for example). Have all use WPA2 with the same password.
Get inSSIDer or some other wifi scanner going though, since you may need to get creative on placement and channel usage. On the 2.4GHz side, I use 4 and 8 here in the house since everyone around me has the defaults and the air is saturated. By going off-center, even though not totally clear of the others) I get enough separation for max strength and speeds. By strange coincidence, I'm all alone in my house and yard on the 5GHz side.
Nov 26, 2012 at 6:22 UTC
Forgot to mention, hopefully you have a server/router running DHCP. Be sure to disable DHCP on the WAP's or you'll have all sorts of issues.
Or configure each one to hand out seperate DHCP addresses.
Nov 26, 2012 at 6:27 UTC
Don't get complicated for a house. I setup wireless in a 6,000 square foot home over the weekend, it only took two routers, one acting solely as an AP. Name the wireless the same, use the same WPA2 password, make sure one is the gateway and doing DHCP, and call it a day. Less is more for a house.
Don't count out using just one as well. Depending on the size of the house, one good one may cover it. For the one I was doing, a Linksys E4200 almost covered it all, but one far corner off the kitchen was a dead zone.
Nov 26, 2012 at 6:28 UTC
Assuming that the APS are both connecting to a router withing the same network and that the router is managing network services (DHCP/DNS), he should be able to copy the config from AP1 and import into AP2. If he is using static IPs for the access point he will have to change it on AP2.
The advantage of using RADIUS in a multi-AP environment is to manage client hand-off between APs so you don't drop the connection momentarily when moving between APs. If he doesn't constantly walk back and forth between two ends of the house while doing real-time applications (VoIP/Video), it shouldn't be an issue.
Nov 26, 2012 at 6:48 UTC
Have you considered setting up a 'mesh' WiFi network?
I've setup WiFi mesh's on Linksys, DLink and NGenius WiFi devices.
1 - device has a LAN connection.
1 - the remote AP / Router use their 2nd set of antennas usually the 5.8mghz radios. to join a 'mesh' where they share the SSID's / configurations.
Nov 26, 2012 at 7:53 UTC
BIG thanks to all for this great info! Much appreicated!!
Warm Regards.
Nov 26, 2012 at 8:36 UTC
Personally I would use 1 router and up to 2 extenders (or more depending on the locations size), if he already has a router just add some extenders (Range Extenders) and you should be fine. Extenders seem to play well with routers where AP's sometimes have problems connecting unless you get ones that play nice.
Nov 26, 2012 at 10:47 UTC
as mentioned I would look into either a cloud mesh solution or one WAP and a few repeaters - the meraki devices are nice i just got one for free for attending a webinar they just got bought by cisco though so hopefully their pricing doesn't go up any more.
Jun 17, 2013 at 4:20 UTC
1st Post
How can I make meraki MR12 have control over 4 d-link dlw-3200ap devices in my network. can the meraki provide them ips and control access on these d-links?
Jun 17, 2013 at 4:21 UTC
How do I go about the configurations of these dlink APs?
Jun 17, 2013 at 6:53 UTC
The MR12 is not a controller, it's an AP. Unless you have a PoE Switch you'll have to buy the Injector for it (unless you already have one or did) Also the MR12 is a cloud based AP which means you'll have to pay services to use it. If you go with Meraki you'll want all Meraki AP's and be paying a subscription.
As far as setting up the 4 DLW-3200AP that you have, you'll want to find out what the DHCP range is on the existing router and then pick 4 static IP addresses outside that DHCP scope. Most are 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.150 I think or maybe even up to 192.168.1.254 depending on the default. Make sure to document everything as well while you are doing it. You could to something like 192.168.1.10 for the first one 192.168.1.20 for the second and so on. In each AP just set the SSID and Passphrase/Key to the exact same thing. Best to use WPA-PSK Personal or WPA-PSK2 Personal with AES encryption. You'll also want to make sure your wireless channels are separated on the 4 AP's , Set one of them to 1 one to 6 and one to 11, if you had one in each corner of the house then set the last ones channel the same as the one diagonally across from it, provided it's not at a close range. If it's at close range you might want to think about only using 3 AP's in the house. Someone also suggested downloading Inssider and checking on signals in the house already so you can try to avoid interference, which is a great idea as well

Openmesh is also worth a look. Slightly cheaper cloud solution than UniFi or Meraki.

He's out there somewhere… isn't he? It seems ever since Ed Jovanovski signed with the Phoenix Coyotes three summers ago, the Canucks have been trying to find a "puck moving defenceman" (that's the buzz word of the year for Canucks fans) that can make a good first pass and run the power play. Not that the Canucks don't have decent offensive blueliners already. Kevin Bieksa is a good all-around defenceman, but is not a true power play quarterback. Sami Salo and Alex Edler both have the big shot from the blue line, but they don't rush the puck up the ice with ease and they each need a lot of time to load up their canons. So who will it be? Who is available? Who can fit under the cap? All legitimate questions that depend on who the Canucks will move (and believe me, it will be somebody) to make room. That player will be a forward, which will make room for a defenceman.
How about Anton Babchuk? This article out of Carolina from the News & Observer states that Babchuk, a restricted free agent, will be traded. Apparently the Hurricanes are not looking for a forward in return, rather they are interested in a prospect or draft pick instead. That's not great news for the Canucks, who are thin on prospects, but deep on forward. While this is the case, Gillis could always trade one of his forwards for a draft pick to lessen the impact of losing a draft pick for Babchuk.
So who is Anton Babchuk!? He's a 25 year old defenceman who in his first full season in the NHL last season scored 16 goals (5th best in the league last season) and 19 assists. He was also a plus 13 (second to only Eric Staal on Carolina last season). He was at his best on the power play, notching 9 power play goals. To put that in perspective, consider that Salo, Bieksa and Edler each scored only 5 power play goals last season. Babchuk is also 6'5″ and has a great slap shot that he can get away quickly.
Don't believe me? Check this out:

Aging Gracefully
"I expect to pass through life but once. If, therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again."
William Penn
Me with the birthday girl, Orene!!
This weekend our family helped celebrate the 90th birthday of my husband's great aunt, Orene. She literally had over 200 people in attendance at her bday party-very popular! This woman defies what anyone would think of what 90 looks AND acts like. She still drives herself around to where ever she needs to go and is always impeccably dressed and put together. She is present at all family functions and is one of the most giving and generous human beings I've ever met. But above anything else, she has the ENERGY of my 5 year old, really!!
My 5 year old, Jack, and 1 year old, Vivian, at the party!
Amazing to see them and their single digit ages and then the guest of honor with her impressive double digits of 90. They were trying to keep up with her!
She literally stood in one place for over an hour while family members and friends stood in line to get a chance to talk to her! She was a celebrity in her own right! Luckily she posed for one more picture with me and my husband;-)
I wasn't quite sure what to get a woman who has seen 90 years, so I printed out a current picture of my family in a frame and wrapped it in pretty paper. My favorite way to wrap a present is easy…
- Purchase good quality and interesting wrapping paper. I love love the designs of wrapping paper offered through Paperchase which is what I used here. A nice wrapping paper makes any gift that much more special.
- Keep the ribbon and accessories simple. I like using different colors of grosgrain ribbon and tying it in a simple bow and cutting the ends into a V shape. If you want more inventive ways to wrap a gift for the upcoming holidays, check out Martha's ideas here!
I wish I knew Orene's secret to looking and feeling this great at 90. But from what I've seen and known of her since I married into my husband's family- I think aging gracefully is due to being such a kind spirit to those around her, and that kindness shines through and keeps her ageless. When I get another chance to chat with her again, I might need to also find out about her skin care regime and buy whatever magic elixir she's using!
What do you think is the secret is to aging gracefully? Is it lotions and potions, or more about taking care of the insides and what you put in your body in terms of eating right and exercising?? What have you learned from your elders?

Here are my setup screens, is there something I need to change in my setup?
What custom column type did you setup for your #goodreads column?
The "Linked Book -> Download tags from shelves" menu option is the one you are using to populate that column, right?
If you move books around on your goodreads shelves then you will need to select those same books in Calibre and once again do the "Linked Book -> Download tags from shelves" menu option.
However (and this is important) depending on the custom column type you may want to clear the data out of that custom column first. If you set it up as a "Comma separated text, like tags" column, then it means the column can have multiple values. The plugin can have no way of knowing that you actually intend to "replace" in this one situation where you now have new "tag" values to be applied into that column. So it will always append new values into your #goodreads column. So if you initially had it on your "foo" shelf, and got a #goodreads value of 'foo', then moved it on Goodreads.com onto your 'bar' shelf, then download tags again it will have tags of 'foo, bar'. So you would want to delete the value 'foo' out of the custom column before you download tags again.
Similarly, if you moved it onto a shelf that no-longer has a mapping, the plugin has no way of knowing that actually it should now blank that column. So again you would need to remove it manually.
These limitations are because my initial implementation was deisgned around using the Calibre "tags" column, which of course has other purposes. One change I could make to the plugin now is to make it the case that if you choose a custom column to contain your downloaded shelf mapped values (e.g. a genre column like you are doing) that the column is treated as being only for that purpose. This would mean that when you select a bunch of books to download tags from, the first thing it does is to blank out the values from that column and overwrite with the "current" mapped values if any. That would remove the need for manual blanking if you move books around on your Goodreads shelves.
As I said this isn't behaviour people would want if they were using their "tags" column - you wouldn't want to lost all your other tags in this instance. But it would be reasonable to expect that a user specifying a custom column as the target is dedicating it to this purpose.

And even with the recent coaching changes, [offensive line] coach Tom Brattan is still there. He's someone I'm really close to, and I liked how he's a straight shooter and never really beat around the bush. He got to the point. And just the fact that they offered me first. They saw something in me that they liked enough to the point that they offered me a scholarship. That meant a lot to me. It's all those things combined."

Very nice apartment with private parking place. Good place to visit the city.
Everything clean and complete. Gudmundur thanks!!!
Geweldig mooi en compleet (koel/vrieskast, oven, magnetron, vaatwasser, parkeerplaats in parkeergarage) appartement op een perfecte locatie qua supermarkt en centrum Reykjavik.
This was our first trip to Iceland and it felt good to stay in such a nice apartment with great location! Jonas met us and gave us a tour of the apartment and complex. The apartment lacks nothing you would need to have a pleasant stay in Reykyavik.
This was our first trip to Iceland and we had a wonderful stay at Asholt 42. Jonas met us and gave us a tour of the apartment and complex. This apartment is conveniently located, comfortable, well equipped. It was such a pleasure to be able to stay there. Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality.
This place is perfect for short or long stay in Reykjavik. The flat has everything you need and it is a short distance to the main street and bus station. Ca. 2-3 min walk.
Gundmundur, the host, was very helpfull and nice.
everything was perfect and clean.
optimal locaded in downtown of reykjavik.
Jederzeit gerne wieder gerne!
We have had a verry fine time in your appartment, everything was fine, complete and clean. Fore shure we like to come back!
Kind regards,
Martin en Tonnie
This is an excellent place. It's just 5 minutes walking downtown. The apartment is fully equipped. We felt there like home. It was even more comfortable. Everything was new or kept very well. There was no doubt about its cleanness. Just perfect. I hope I will be back again some day. The owner was also very helpful about the airport transfer and handing the keys over (we arrived late at night). Thank you Gudmundur once again.
Eine sehr nette Wohnung mit allem was man braucht.
Sehr sehr netter Gastgeber ,der gut zu erreichen war und uns auch noch herzlich empfangen hat obwohl es schon nach 23.00 Uhr war (Flieger war verspätet)
We really enjoyed our stay in the apartment - we had enough space for a company of 5. The apartment was in an excellent condition - WIFI and the the dishwasher spares a lot of time to make arrangements for the rest of our stay in Iceland (riding the motorhome for a week on route N1).The location of the appartment in walking distance to the centre of Reykjavik is really an advantage. The landlord was very friendly and supportive for all our requests - to make our stay as easy as possible. Altogether, we had a good time and we recommend Guðmundur as host for an excellent stay at Reykjavik! Best regards, Wolfgang

AFSCME 3299 Cancels Strike, Announces "Historic" Agreement for UC Service Workers
Oakland: The University of California and AFSCME 3299 have reached an historic, tentative, 4-year contract agreement for the system's 8300 Service Workers. As a result, next week's scheduled strike by AFSCME 3299 represented UC workers has been cancelled.
Download PDF (183.0kb)
For UC Service workers affected by the agreement—99% of whom are currently income eligible for some form of public assistance—the potential settlement includes 13.5% across the board wage increase (over 4 years), affordable healthcare benefits for both current employees and retirees, and important new safe staffing protections—including limits on contracting out.
"After more than a year of good faith bargaining, we have finally reached a historic agreement with UC that will pull thousands of its full-time employees out of poverty and begin to rectify staffing practices that needlessly put our members and the people they serve at risk," said UC Service Worker and AFSCME 3299 President Kathryn Lybarger. "While this proposed settlement includes compromise on both sides, it honors the contributions that career service workers make to this institution, as well as UC's responsibility to build ladders to the middle class. Our members are deeply grateful to the thousands of students, faculty, colleagues, elected officials, and everyday taxpayers who have stood with us, and stood for the principles of fairness and dignity that bind every member of the UC community."
While UC Service Workers have secured a tentative agreement, the 13,000 UC Patient Care Technical Workers represented by AFSCME 3299 remain in bargaining with UC, with more sessions scheduled for later this week. The Patient Care Technical Unit had been scheduled to sympathy strike with Service Workers next week.
"The Patient Care Unit has been engaged in good faith bargaining for more than 20 months—even longer than Service Workers—and like Service workers, has already given UC 80% of what it wants, including the university's top priority of pension reform," Lybarger added. "Having seen the unflinching resolve of our membership and the many thousands of Californians who support them, it is our hope that the spirit of compromise that UC finally brought to the table yesterday to reach a settlement with UC Service workers will continue in upcoming bargaining sessions with the Patient Care Technical Unit. If it does, we believe that an end to this unfortunate, protracted dispute may finally be within reach, and a new period of cooperation can begin."
AFSCME 3299 is the University of California's largest union, and represents more than 22,000 Service and Patient Care Technical Workers at the system's 10 campuses, five medical centers, numerous clinics and research laboratories.

"Our wedding theme is rustic so with this particular save the date it fit perfectly. My fiancé and I have been together for 10 years so it was a great story line for those whom we met in the last few years or so to share pieces of our history. Very fast shipping. I ordered on a Tuesday night and they arrived first thing Saturday morning. The printing was perfect."
"The color and paper are very high-quality. After receiving our proof, we requested an additional change. The designer actually gave us two different options to choose. Very happy with the cards & shipping was faster than expected."
"We were very pleased with the quality of the card we received. It looks exactly like it does in the digital proof. The colors are brilliant, and the print quality is very crisp. The standard paper is thick enough to stand up to mailing and display without creasing. The envelopes are smooth and creamy, and take the calligraphy ink very nicely. The printing/shipping was much faster than promised. Strongly recommend."
"These cards are absolutely gorgeous. The print is just delicate enough and the card stock was sturdy. I have gotten tons of compliments on them and am seriously considering purchasing the matching suite."
"very good quality! not much customization needed, cards are beautiful as is. Customer service was amazing! I ordered a few too many and realized it right after I placed the order.... But I emailed customer service and they fix it right away and refunded me. Very happy with the product!"

The demographic forecasts contained in a new report from Eurostat, the European Union's statistical agency, are worth a good look. Everyone knows the EU's rapidly ageing population and shrinking workforce are making its task of promoting prosperity and job growth ever more difficult. But we don't often see the hard numbers behind the general trend.
What I found most striking were the predictions for the big EU-6. In terms of their current populations, these are Germany (82.2m people), France (61.9m), the UK (61.3m), Italy (59.5m), Spain (45.3m) and Poland (38.1m). Read more
