A polymath-style project on non transitive dice (Wikipedea) is now running over Gowers blog. (Here is the link to the first post.)
We haven't quite hit the 100-comment mark on the second Polymath 12 blog post, but this seems like a good moment to take stock. The project has lost some of its initial momentum, perhaps because other priorities have intruded into the lives of the main participants (I know that this is true of myself). However, I don't want to turn out the lights just yet, because I don't believe we're actually stuck. Let me take this opportunity to describe some of the leads that I think are most promising.
For general matroids, the online version of Rota's Basis Conjecture is false, but it is still interesting to ask how many bases are achievable. One of the nicest things to come out Polymath 12, in my opinion, has been a partial answer to this question: It is somewhere between n/3 + c and n/2 + c. There is hope that this gap could be closed. If the gap can be closed then in my opinion this would be a publishable short paper. Incidentally, if a paper is published by Polymath 12, what pseudonym should be used? I know that D. H. J. Polymath was used for the first project, but maybe R. B. C. Polymath would make more sense?
It was suggested early on that graphic matroids might be a more tractable special case. It wasn't immediately clear to me at first why, but I understand better now. Specifically, graphic matroids with no K4 minor are series-parallel and therefore strongly base-orderable and therefore satisfy Rota's Basis Conjecture. Thus, in some sense, K4 is the only obstruction to Rota's Basis Conjecture for graphic matroids, whereas the analogous claim for matroids in general does not hold.
In one of my papers I showed, roughly speaking, that if one can prove an n × 2 version of Rota's Basis Conjecture, then this fact can be parlayed into a proof of the full conjecture. Of course the n × 2 version is false in general, but I do believe that a thorough understanding of what can happen in just two columns will give significant insight into the full conjecture. One question I raised was whether any n × 2 arrangement of edges can yield two columns that are bases if we pull out no more than n/3 edges. This is perhaps a somewhat clumsy question, but it is trying to get at the question of whether there are any n × 2 counterexamples that are not just the disjoint union of copies of K4 that have been expanded by "uncontracting" some edges. If we can classify all n × 2 counterexamples then I think that this would be a big step towards proving the full conjecture for graphic matroids.
This is of course not the only possible way to tackle graphic matroids. The main point is that I think there is potential for serious progress on this special case.
I mentioned an unpublished manuscript by Michael Cheung that reports that the n = 4 case of Rota's Basis Conjecture is true for all matroids. I find this to be an impressive computation and I think it deserves independent verification.
Finding 5 × 2 counterexamples to Rota's Basis Conjecture would also be illuminating in my opinion. Gordon Royle provided a link to a database of all nine-element matroids that should be helpful. Luke Pebody started down this road but as far as I know has not completed the computation.
In 1995, Marcel Wild proved the following result ("Lemma 6"): Let be a matroid on an -element set that is a disjoint union of independent sets of size . Assume that there exists another matroid on the same ground set with the following properties:
(1) is strongly base orderable.
(2) for all , where is the rank function of .
(3) All circuits of satisfying remain dependent in .
Then there is an grid whose th row comprises and whose columns are independent in .
Wild obtained several partial results as a corollary of Lemma 6. How much mileage can we get out of this? Can we always find a suitable for graphic matroids?
I'm less optimistic that these will lead to progress on Rota's Basis Conjecture itself, but maybe I'm wrong. Gil Kalai made several suggestions:
Pavel Paták presented a lemma from one of his papers that might be useful. Let M be a matroid of rank r and let S be a sequence of kr elements from M, split into r subsequences, each of length at most k. Then any largest independent rainbow subsequence of S is a basis of M if and only if there does not exist an integer s < r and set of s + 1 color classes, such that the union of these color classes has rank s.
In a different direction, there are graph-theoretic conjectures such as the Brualdi–Hollingsworth conjecture: If the complete graph K2m (for m ≥ 3) is edge-colored in such a way that every color class is a perfect matching, then there is a decomposition of the edges into m edge-disjoint rainbow spanning trees.
Finally, let me make a few remarks about the directions of research that were suggested in my previous Polymath 12 blog post. I was initially optimistic about matroids with no small circuits and I still think that they are worth thinking about, but I am now more pessimistic that we can get much mileage out of straightforwardly generalizing the methods of Geelen and Humphries, for reasons that can be found by reading the comments. Similarly I am more pessimistic now that the algebro-geometric approach will yield anything since being a basis is an open condition rather than a closed condition.
The other leads in that blog post have not been pursued much and I think they are still worth looking at. In particular, that old standby, the Alon–Tarsi Conjecture, may still admit more partial results. Rebecca Stones's suggestion that maybe Lneven – Lnodd ≢ 0 (mod p) when p = 2n + 1 is prime still looks to me like a good idea and I don't think many people have seriously thought about this. Also I agree with David Glynn that more people should study Carlos Gamas's recent paper on the Alon–Tarsi Conjecture.
There has been enough interest that I think we can formally declare Rota's Basis Conjecture to be Polymath 12. I am told that it is standard Polymath practice to start a new blog post whenever the number of comments reaches about 100, and we have reached that point, so that is one reason I am writing a second post at this time. I am also told that sometimes, separate "discussion" and "research" threads are created; I'm not seeing an immediate need for such a separation yet, and so I am not going to state a rule that comments of one type belong under the original post whereas comments of some other type belong under this new post. I will just say that if you are in doubt, I recommend posting new comments under this post rather than the old one, but if common sense clearly says that your comment belongs under the old post then you should use common sense.
The other reason to create a new post is to take stock of where we are and perhaps suggest some ways to go forward. Let me emphasize that the list below is not comprehensive, but is meant only to summarize the comments so far and to throw in a few ideas of my own. Assuming this project continues to gather steam, the plan is to populate the associated Polymath Wiki page with a more comprehensive list of references and statements of partial results. If you have an idea that does not seem to fit into any of the categories below, please consider that to be an invitation to leave a comment about your idea, not an indication that it is not of interest!
I want to start with an idea that I mentioned in my MathOverflow post but not in my previous Polymath Blog post. I think it is very promising, and I don't think many people have looked at it. Geelen and Humphries proved that Rota's Basis Conjecture is true for paving matroids. In the case of vector spaces, what this means is that they proved the conjecture in the case where every (n – 1)-element subset of the given set of n2 vectors is linearly independent. It is natural to ask if n – 1 can be reduced to n – 2. I have not digested the Geelen–Humphries paper so I do not know how easy or hard this might be, but it certainly could not hurt to have more people study this paper and make an attempt to extend its results. If an oracle were to tell me that Rota's Basis Conjecture has a 10-page proof and were to ask me what I thought the method was, then at this point in time I would guess that the proof proceeds by induction on the size of the smallest circuit. Even if I am totally wrong, I think we will definitely learn something by understanding exactly why this approach cannot be extended.
Let me now review the progress on the three ideas I mentioned in my first blog post. In Idea 1, I asked if the n2 vectors could be partitioned into at most 2n – 2 independent partial transversals. A nice proof that the answer is yes was given by domotorp. Eli Berger then made a comment that suggested that the topological methods of Aharoni and Berger could push this bound lower, but there was either an error in his suggestion or we misunderstood it. It would be good to get this point clarified. I should also mention that Aharoni mentioned to me offline that he unfortunately could not participate actively in Polymath but that he did have an answer to my question about their topological methods, which is that the topological concepts they were using were intrinsically not strong enough to bring the bound down to n + 1, let alone n. It might nevertheless be valuable to understand exactly how far we can go by thinking about independent partial transversals. Ron Aharoni and Jonathan Farley both had interesting ideas along these lines; rather than reproduce them here, let me just say that you can find Aharoni's comment (under the previous blog post) by searching for "Vizing" and Farley's comment by searching for "Mirsky."
Idea 2 was to look for additional obstructions to natural strengthenings of Rota's Basis Conjecture, by computationally searching for counterexamples that arise if the number of columns is smaller than the number of rows. Luke Pebody started such a search but reported a bug. I still believe that this computational search is worth doing, because I suspect that any proof that Rota's Basis Conjecture holds for all matroids is going to have to come to grips with these counterexamples.
Note that if we are interested just in vector spaces, we could do some Gröbner basis calculations. I am not sure that this would be any less computationally intensive than exhausting over all small matroids, but it might reveal additional structure that is peculiar to the vector space case.
There has been minimal progress in this (admittedly vague) direction. I will quote Ellenberg's initial thoughts: "If you were going to degenerate, what you would need to do is say: is there any version of this question that makes sense when the basic object is, instead of a basis of an n-dimensional vector space V, a 0-dimensional subscheme of V of degree n which is not contained in any hyperplane? For instance, in 2-space you could have something which was totally supported at the point (0,1) but which was "fat" in the horizontal direction of degree 2. This is the scheme S such that what it means for a curve C to contain S is that S passes through (0,1) and has a horizontal tangent there."
Let me also mention that Jan Draisma sent me email recently with the following remarks: "A possible idea would be to consider a counterexample as lying in some suitable equivariant Hilbert scheme in which being a counterexample is a closed condition, then degenerate to a counterexample stable under a Borel subgroup of GLn, and come to a contradiction. 'Equivariant' should reflect the action of GLn × (Sn ⋉ Snn). However, I have not managed to make this work myself, even in low dimensions. In fact, having a good algebro-geometric argument for the n = 3 case, rather than a case-by-case analysis, would already be very nice!"
Now let me move on to other ideas suggested in the comments. There were several thoughts about the Alon–Tarsi Conjecture that the Alon–Tarsi constant Lneven – Lnodd ≠ 0 when n is even. Rebecca Stones gave a formula that, as Gil Kalai observed, equated the Alon–Tarsi constant with the top Fourier–Walsh coefficient for the function detn; i.e., up to sign, the Alon–Tarsi constant is
ΣA (–1)σ(A) det(A)n,
where the sum is over all zero-one matrices and σ(A) is the number of zero entries in A. This formula suggests various possibilities. For example one could try to prove that Lneven – Lnodd ≢ 0 (mod p) where p = 2n + 1 is prime, because in this case, det(A)n must be 0, 1, or –1. This would already be a new result for n = 26, and the case n = 6 is small enough to compute explicitly and look for inspiration. Luke Pebody posted the results of some computations in this case.
Another possibility, suggested by Gil Kalai, is to consider a Gaussian analogue. Instead of random zero-one matrices, consider random Gaussian matrices and try to understand the Hermite expansion of detn, in particular showing that the coefficient corresponding to all ones is nonzero. This might be easier and might give some insight.
Note also that in the comments to my MathOverflow post, Abdelmalek Abdesselam proposed an analogue of the Alon–Tarsi conjecture for odd n. I do not think that many people have looked at this.
Some generalizations and special cases of the conjecture were mentioned in the comments. Proving the conjecture for graphic matroids or binary matroids would be an enormous advance. There is a generalization due to Jeff Kahn, in which we have n2 bases Bij and we have to pick vij ∈ Bij to form an n × n grid whose rows and columns are all bases. Another generalization was prompted by a remark by David Eppstein: Suppose we are given n bases B1, …, Bn of a vector space of dimension m ≤ n, and suppose we are given an n × n zero-one matrix with exactly m 1's in every row and column. Can we replace each 1 in the matrix with a vector in such a way that the m vectors in row i are the elements of Bi and such that the m vectors in every column form a basis?
Juan Sebastian Lozano suggested the following reformulation: Does there exist a group G such that V is a representation of G and there exists gi ∈ G such that gi Bi = Bi+1, and for every vector b ∈ B1,
span{g0b, …, gn – 1b} = V
where gi = gi … g1 and g0 is the identity?
Fedor Petrov mentioned a theorem by him and Roman Karasev that looks potentially relevant (or at least the method of proof might be useful). Let p be an odd prime, and let V be the Fp-vector space of dimension k. Denote V* = V \ {0} and put m = |V*|/2 = (pk – 1)/2. Suppose we are given m linear bases of the vector space V
(v11, …, v1k), (v21, …, v2k), …, (vm1, …, vmk).
Then there exist pairwise distinct x1, …, xm, y1, …, ym ∈ V* and a map g:[m] → [k] such that for every i ∈ {1, …, m} we have yi – xi = vig(i).
Gil Kalai notes that the Alon–Tarsi conjecture is related to the coloring polynomial of a graph and asks if we can learn anything by considering more general polynomials such as
Π {(xi – λexj) : i < j, {i,j} = e ∈ E(G)},
where the λe are weights associated to the edges e.
This post tentatively kicks off Polymath 12 on Rota's basis conjecture.
I proposed Rota's basis conjecture as a possible Polymath project on MathOverflow last year. If you have not read my proposal, I strongly recommend that you read it now, because in it, I sketched some reasons why I thought this would make a good Polymath project, as well as some known partial results and potential avenues for progress.
Recently, I emailed several likely participants, and a number of them responded enthusiastically, enough in my opinion to warrant an attempt to start a Polymath project. I have discussed the possibility with the polymath blog admins and since I do not have a blog of my own, they have generously agreed to host the project here on the polymath blog itself. This means that you should comment freely in the comments section below.
Rota's basis conjecture states that if B1, B2, …, Bn are n bases of an n-dimensional vector space V (not necessarily distinct or disjoint), then there exists an n × n grid of vectors (vij) such that
1. the n vectors in row i are the members of the ith basis Bi (in some order), and
2. in each column of the matrix, the n vectors in that column form a basis of V.
If this project gets enough momentum to be formally declared "Polymath 12" then it will be important to give a thorough summary of what is already known, and to lay out in some detail all the promising directions. However, at this early stage, I think that it is important to have some "quick wins" to get things moving, so I would like to present a couple of new ideas that I think could lead to some new partial results quickly, and also invite others to present their own ideas.
The first idea is to extend an old result of Aharoni and Berger that I think has not received too much attention from others. Suppose we have two matroids on the same ground set E. By definition, a common independent set is a subset of E that is independent in both matroids. We can try to partition E into a disjoint union of common independent sets, and can ask the question, what is the smallest number β of common independent sets that we need?
Here is the relation to Rota's basis conjecture. The ground set E has n2 elements, and one of the matroids is defined by the given set of n2 vectors (here, if the same vector appears in more than one basis, we treat the different occurrences as being distinct). The second matroid is the so-called transversal matroid whose independent sets are precisely those subsets of E that contain at most one element from each Bi. From this point of view, Rota's basis conjecture says that β = n, i.e., that E may be partitioned into n disjoint common independent sets (each necessarily of size n).
Aharoni and Berger have proved a general theorem about matroids that implies, in the specific case of Rota's basis conjecture, that β ≤ 2n. They also have a very general conjecture on matroids that would imply that β ≤ n + 1 for Rota's basis conjecture.
Let me now make the simple observation that it is easy to prove directly that β ≤ 2n – 1 for Rota's basis conjecture. We begin with a lemma. Suppose we have a matroid and suppose that I1, …, In are independent sets with |Ii| = i for all i. Call this a triangular system. Then I claim that there exists a way of choosing a vi from each Ii in such a way that J1 := {vi} is independent. The proof is easy: We start with the forced choice v1 ∈ I1, and then note that by the independent set axiom, since |I2| = 2, there must exist some v2 ∈ I2 that can be added to v1 to produce an independent set of size 2. Similarly, once v1 and v2 are chosen, it follows directly from the independent set axiom that we can add some v3 ∈ I3, and so on. This proves the lemma. Now, once J1 has been constructed, we can imagine removing the elements of J1 from the original triangular system to obtain a smaller triangular system. We can then repeat the argument on this smaller system to form an independent set J2 that contains exactly one element from each Ii for i = 2, 3, …, n. This shows that the original triangular system can be partitioned into (at most) n common independent sets (where as before, the second matroid is the natural transversal matroid).
Returning to the setup for Rota's basis conjecture, we can write out the n2 given vectors in a grid with the elements of Bi in row i (not worrying about whether the columns are bases) and draw a diagonal to split the bases into two disjoint triangular systems, one of size n and one of size n – 1. So we can partition the vectors into at most n + (n – 1) = 2n – 1 common independent sets, Q.E.D.
So the first question, which I don't think has been looked at much and which hopefully should not be too hard, is:
Can we show that β ≤ 2n – 2?
In one of my papers I introduced the idea of looking for certain kinds of obstructions to an inductive proof of the conjecture. Specifically, suppose that instead of n bases, we are given n independent sets I1, …, In, each of size k < n. Suppose further that these nk vectors (counted with multiplicity) can be partitioned into k bases somehow (but not necessarily bases that contain exactly one vector from each row). Then we can ask if there exists an n × k grid whose ith row comprises the elements of Ii and whose columns are all bases. In general, the answer will be no, but it is not so easy to come up with counterexamples. I came up with two counterexamples with k = 2, but I think it would be worth doing a computational search for more examples. Even k = 2 and n = 5 has not been checked, as far as I know. If there are not many counterexamples then there is some hope that we could classify them all, and I think that this would be a big step towards proving the full conjecture. Note: one family of counterexamples has been identified by Harvey, Kiraly, and Lau.
The last idea I want to present here is very vague. It is inspired by a paper by Ellenberg and Erman that I recently learned about. The result of the paper itself isn't relevant, but I thought that the method might be. Roughly speaking, they reduce a certain combinatorial problem involving points and lines in a vector space to a "degenerate" case that is more tractable. Since various "degenerate" cases of Rota's basis conjecture are known, perhaps the same idea could be applied to extend those degenerate cases to more cases.
As an example of a known degenerate case, let us first generalize Rota's basis conjecture slightly as follows. Let us allow the vector space V to have some dimension d > n, and instead of n bases, let us take any n independent sets I1, …, In, each of size n. Then we ask for the usual n × n grid except now we only require the columns to be independent and not necessarily bases. As far as I know, there is no known counterexample to this stronger conjecture. Moreover, this stronger conjecture is known to be true if we fix a single, standard basis B of V and insist that every Ii be a subset of B. Two proofs of this fact may be found in Section 2 of this paper.
Let me end this initial blog post here, with just one further comment that a couple of people that I have communicated with recently have some other concrete ideas that we can sink our teeth into immediately. I am going to invite them to explain those ideas in the comments to this blog post.

20) A project around a cluster of tiling problems. In particular: Is the Heech number bounded for polygonal monotiles? Is it decidable to determine if a single given polygonal tile can tile the plane monohedrally? Even for a single polyomino? Proposed by Joseph O'Rourke
Here is the link to a mathoverflow question asking for polymath proposals. There are some very interesting proposals. I am quite curious to see some proposals in applied mathematics, and various areas of geometry, algebra, analysis and logic.
The MIT PRIMES program and the Art of Problem Solving are planning to run a "Crowdmath" project for high school students with advanced mathematical backgrounds, based on the polymath approach to mathematical research. The project, which officially starts on March 1, will be devoted to original research on a mathematics problem to be specified at the time of the project (but judging from the reference material provided, it will probably involve the combinatorics of 0-1 matrices). Participation is open to all high school students (though they will need an Art of Problem Solving account).
I am posting this proposal on behalf of Dinesh Thakur.
Let be the ring of polynomials over the finite field of two elements, and let
be the set of irreducible polynomials in this ring. Then infinite series such as
can be expanded as formal infinite power series in the variable .
It was numerically observed in http://arxiv.org/abs/1512.02685 that one appears to have the remarkable cancellation
For instance, one has
and all other terms in are of order or higher, so this shows that has -valuation at least 3. Similarly, if one expands the first sum for all primes of degree (in ) up to 37, one obtains (the calculation took about a month on one computer), implying that the -valuation of the infinite sum is at least 38; in fact a bit of theory can improve this to 42. (But we do not know whether this 42 is the answer to everything!).
For the second sum, calculation for degrees up to 28 shows that the difference between the two sides has -valuation at least 88.
The polymath proposal is to investigate this phenomenon further (perhaps by more extensive numerical calculations) and supply a theoretical explanation for it.
Background links:
Below the fold is some more technical information regarding the above calculations.
This post is meant to propose and discuss a polymath project and a sort of polymath project.
One of the interesting questions regarding the polymath endeavor was:
Can polymath be used to develop a theory/new area?
My idea is to have a project devoted to develop a theory of "convex hulls of real algebraic varieties". The case where the varieties are simply a finite set of points is a well-developed area of mathematics – the theory of convex polytopes, but the general case was not studied much. I suppose that for such a project the first discussions will be devoted to raise questions/research directions. (And mention some works already done.)
In general (but perhaps more so for an open-ended project), I would like to see also polymath projects which are on longer time scale than existing ones but perhaps less intensive, and that people can "get in" or "spin-off" at will in various times.
The Riemann hypothesis is arguably the most famous open question in mathematics. My view is that it is premature to try to attack the RH by a polymath project (but I am not an expert and, in any case, a project of this kind is better conducted with some specific program in mind). I propose something different. In a sort of polymath spirit the project I propose invite participants, especially professional mathematicians who thought about the RH over the years, to share their thoughts about RH.
Ideally each comment will be
1) One or a few paragraphs long
2) Well-thought, focused and rather polished
A few comments by the same contributors are also welcome.
To make it clear, the thread I propose is not going to be a research thread and also not a place for further discussions beyond some clarifying questions. Rather it is going to be a platform for interested mathematician to make statements and expressed polished thoughts about RH. (Also, if adopted, maybe we will need a special name for such a thing.)
This thread is not launching any of the two suggested projects, but rather a place to discuss further these proposals. For the second project, it will be better still if the person who runs it will be an expert in the area, and certainly not an ignorant. For the first project, maybe there are better ideas for areas/theories appropriate for polymathing.
Tim Gowers Proposed and launched a new polymath proposal aimed at a certain approach he has for proving that .

'Mad Men' bombshell, Christina Hendricks, has never been what we expected--her mind-blowing curves have gotten the attention of both men and women, and she has pushed her 'Mad Men' role to the sexiest heights imaginable. Now, Hendricks will be joining the cast of the indie flick, 'Struck by Lightning.'
Written by 'Glee' star, Chris Colfer, this modern day coming-of-age comedy boasts other indie actresses like Allison Janey ('Juno') and 'Modern Family' star, Sarah Hyland.
Like the title indicates, the film begins with Colfer's character being struck by lightning and the whole movie takes place after he dies. This sort of beyond-the-grave work seems to be of interest to director Brian Dannelly, whose other comedy 'Saved' deals with afterlife redemption.
Hendricks will also be lending her talents to 'I Don't Know How She Does It' alongside Sarah Jessica Parker.

I decided awhile ago I wanted to find ways to spend quality time with my boys. So I came up with the idea of "Mini Dates with my Beaux".
Here are some creative yet fun ideas to spend quality time with the little men in your life for all ages.
Mini Date Ideas:
1. Coffee Date-Enjoy a candid conversation over a cup of tea and/or hot cocoa at your Coffee House of choice. Ask questions about their current interests and important things going on in their life. You know sometimes it's ruff being a third-grader. Lol. For my teen it's an opportunity for him to share his passion about sports and music.
2. Visit your Local Museum- Nearly every city has a local museum whether its focus is on natural history, arts or culture. This will help impart valuable knowledge and awareness of cultural history and heritage long after they're young.
3. Visit Local Library-My favorite is the Huntington Tea Room. It's located in San Marino, CA. They offer a children's menu with kid-friendly choices such as grilled cheese and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. This is a great opportunity to instill the value of the arts and a love for natural beauty.
4. Movie Night-During the summer months our local community sponsors a "Movie in the Park". This is a great opportunity to get outside take in the open air and watch a great movie.
5. Sport Attraction-Support a local team or the majors. We are a Laker family so naturally a Laker home game is always a good choice!
6. Gymboree-These classes offer a variety options for infants through toddlers. They encourage development through play and learning with their programs designed to support your child's growth at his or her own individual pace.
7. Beach Day-We live in sunny Southern California and fortunate to have warm weather throughout a good portion of the year. So sand castles and boogey boarding is an all-time favorite.
8. Snow Day-Situated in the heart the mountains Big Bear Lake offers a fun atmosphere for snow boarding and skiing for big and and small.
9. Volunteering-Giving back and helping out those that are less fortunate is big for us. Developing a spirit of giving while they're young is important. Whether its donating gently used clothes, unused toys or helping out at a local mission this is a great opportunity to cultivate a sense of giving and community service.
10. Karaoke-I'm no Mariah Carey, but I do love to have a little fun!! So, me and my Rock Stars like to bring out the Wii and do Karaoke and sing a tune or two! You'd be amazed at how fun this can be while working up a sweat.
Here's my little Rocker!!
As I embark on the journey of raising strong, respectable and caring men I hope to one day look back on the moments that we shared together as mother and son. Before you know it one day they will be grown with a family of their own making their own special moments with their kids. (Insert tear here! )

Jail for man who glassed victim with broken bottle
A man who glassed his victim with a broken bottle, leaving him legally blind in one eye, has been sentenced to nine years with the final two years suspended.
Sean Kenny (24) hit Raphael Momoh (21) in the eye with a broken glass bottle which cut the victim's cornea and left him with noticeable scarring on his upper and lower eyelid. Mr Momoh required a corneal transplant to restore his vision.
Kenny, of Lourdes Road, Maryland, Dublin pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to intentionally or recklessly causing serious harm to Mr Momoh on Parkgate Street on January 29, 2013.
Kenny has 49 previous convictions including criminal damage, violent behaviour in a garda station and dangerous driving. He is currently serving a sentence for drug dealing and violent disorder.
Sentencing Kenny today, Judge Patricia Ryan said it was an unprovoked attack on Mr Momoh.
"The injured party already had a disability and now has, in effect, no sight in one eye," she said.
The court previously heard Mr Momoh was hit on the back of the head as he was walking towards Heuston Station, having heard someone calling him. He was punched to the face, stomach and chest before a passer-by intervened and pulled his attacker off him.
Mr Momoh crossed the road but two men continued to follow while gesticulating and shouting at him. He then recognised Kenny from an incident at a 21st birthday party the previous Saturday.
Kenny picked up a glass bottle, broke it off a nearby bin and swung it at Mr Momoh, hitting him in the eye.
Mr Momoh collapsed and came to a few minutes later with a woman putting a scarf over his eye to stem the blood. He lost consciousness again and woke up in the ambulance.
Mr Momoh previously told the court that since the attack he felt different and was scared of making eye contact with people. He felt as though he was being looked at with "judging faces" and it had affected his relationship with friends.
He said sometimes when he tried to go to sleep he recollected the events of the night. When he looked up at anyone it caused him unbearable pain and his behaviour was "not right" since the assault.
Gardaí used CCTV footage, particularly from the Criminal Courts of Justice, statements from independent witnesses and Mr Momoh's identification to nominate Kenny as a suspect.
The court heard he had a supportive family, in particular his mother who attended court on each occasion.
The court heard the offence was in the most serious range, with sentences ranging from seven-and-a-half to twelve-and-a-half years.
Judge Ryan took into account mitigating factors, including that the attack was opportunistic and Kenny had co-operated with gardaí.
Kenny hugged his mother before he was taken back into custody.

Not all tachometers are compatible with the Toyota electrical system. You are cautioned to check with the dealer and/or the tachometer manufacturer about suitability for your car. After a proper unit is selected, you may have to make or buy an adapter to connect the tachometer test lead to the Toyota terminal.
The electrical system and computer(s) are easily damaged through careless work habits. Since electricity travels at close to the speed of light, damage is instantaneous and expensive. Always observe the following rules when connecting the tachometer.
Do not leave the ignition switch ON for more than 5 minutes when the engine is not running.The tachometer lead must only be connected to the correct terminal; accidental contact with another terminal can cause great damage.Once connected to the terminal, the tachometer lead and connectors must be protected against grounding to any metal surface of the car. It is highly recommended that any adapter have fully insulated connectors or be wrapped in dry cloth or tape for protection; otherwise, the igniter and/or ignition coil can be damaged.Never disconnect the battery cables while the engine is running.Make certain the engine and ignition wiring is connected properly before connecting the tachometer. It is particularly important that ground circuits be clean and tight.

Quite obviously the worst book A Superfluous Man will review this year (and there was some stiff competition).
Title: The Lost Symbol, by Dan Brown
Motivation: Like an albino Opus Dei-affiliated monk who penitently mortifies his flesh with flagellum and cilice, A Superfluous Man regularly subjects his sinful soul to Mr. Brown's execrable writings.
Completed: June 22, 2012 (#42)
Recommendation: You know you will regret it, but you will probably read it anyway, if only to keep up with Tom Hanks when the inevitable movie is released.
There are entire fetid corners of the Internets devoted to deconstructing the claims of Mr. Brown's famous The Da Vinci Code, claims that the author may in fact actually believe. As for whether it is in fact the case that Clovis I was a lineal descendant of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene, let Wittgenstein have the last word: "That whereof we cannot speak, we must consign to silence."
Let us first give Mr. Brown his due: he knows how to spin a good yarn, and he has a knack for crafting a suspenseful scene. For example:
He's in here with me. In an instant, Katherine realized that the only light in the entire space was coming from her cell phone, illuminating the side of her face. "Send help," she whispered to the guard. "And get to Wet Pod to help Trish." Then she quietly closed her phone, extinguishing the light. Absolute darkness settled around her. She stood stock-still and breathed as quietly as possible. After a few seconds, the pungent scent of ethanol wafted out of the darkness in front of her. The smell got stronger. She could sense a presence, only a few feet in front of her on the carpet. In the silence, the pounding of Katherine's heart seemed loud enough to give her away. Silently, she stepped out of her shoes and inched to her left, sidestepping off the carpet. The cement felt cold under her feet. She took one more step to clear the carpet. One of her toes cracked. It sounded like a gunshot in the stillness.
Today, let us celebrate the genius of Mr. Brown by subjecting The Lost Symbol to an rigorous explication du texte. Truly, Mr. Brown is not of an age, but for all time!
Step #1: Assume the Reader's Unassailable Ignorance
Throughout his entire home, audio speakers broadcast the eerie strains of a rare recording of a castrato singing the "Lux Aeterna" from the Verdi Requiem—a reminder of a previous life. Mal'akh touched a remote control to bring on the thundering "Dies Irae." Then, against a backdrop of crashing timpani and parallel fifths, he bounded up the marble staircase, his robe billowing as he ascended on sinewy legs.
The only extant recording of a castrato, a fellow by the name of Alessandro Moreschi, is readily available for download on iTunes. Verdi's Requiem, which is not among the 17 pieces recorded by Moreschi, does not call for a castrato voice, although the piece does feature both a soprano and a mezzo. Such a recording would be rare, indeed!
Key Practice Point: When dropping names and recondite knowledge about obscure composers like Giuseppe Verdi, always assume that your audience is unfamiliar with the subject matter.
Step #2: Apply Paraprosdokian Structures Liberally, Particularly in Elucidation of Clichés
Langdon feigned a sad sigh. "Too bad. If that's too freaky for you, then I know you'll never want to join my cult." Silence settled over the room. The student from the Women's Center looked uneasy. "You're in a cult?" Langdon nodded and lowered his voice to a conspiratorial whisper. "Don't tell anyone, but on the pagan day of the sun god Ra, I kneel at the foot of an ancient instrument of torture and consume ritualistic symbols of blood and flesh." The class looked horrified. Langdon shrugged. "And if any of you care to join me, come to the Harvard chapel on Sunday, kneel beneath the crucifix, and take Holy Communion." The classroom remained silent. Langdon winked. "Open your minds, my friends. We all fear what we do not understand."
No doubt the "student from the Women's Center" was mortified to have fallen into the wily Harvard professor's trap.
Curious to learn that after his exploits in The DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons, the Catholic Church still allows Prof. Langdon to take communion. Perhaps he attends Boston's Paulist Center with Sen. Kerry?
Step #3: Sapere Aude!
Mr. Brown, like a latter-day Prometheus, wakes us from our dogmatic slumbers and bestows upon mankind the fire of rational scientific inquiry, including in cutting-edge fields like "Noetic Science":
In 2001, in the hours following the horrifying events of September 11, the field of Noetic Science made a quantum leap forward. Four scientists discovered that as the frightened world came together and focused in shared grief on this single tragedy, the outputs of thirty-seven different Random Event Generators around the world suddenly became significantly less random. Somehow, the oneness of this shared experience, the coalescing of millions of minds, had affected the randomizing function of these machines, organizing their outputs and bringing order from chaos.
Key Practice Point: It is not hypocritical to denigrate organized religion as superstitious nonsense whilst promoting hard science in the vein of Franz Mesmer's animal magnetism.
Step #4: Verisimilitude, verisimilitude, verisimilitude
When peopling one's dramatis personae with memorable characters, always remember that it is critical that great art hold up a mirror to the world.
Thus, for example, if one wishes to include a director of the CIA's Office of Security ("they spy on America's spies"):
The overlord of the Office of Security—Director Inoue Sato—was a legend in the intelligence community. Born inside the fences of a Japanese internment camp in Manzanar, California, in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, Sato was a toughened survivor who had never forgotten the horrors of war, or the perils of insufficient military intelligence. Now, having risen to one of the most secretive and potent posts in U.S. intelligence work, Sato had proven an uncompromising patriot as well as a terrifying enemy to any who stood in opposition. Seldom seen but universally feared, the OS director cruised the deep waters of the CIA like a leviathan who surfaced only to devour its prey.
. . .
Director Inoue Sato was a fearsome specimen—a bristly tempest of a woman who stood a mere four feet ten inches. She was bone thin, with jagged features and a dermatological condition known as vitiligo, which gave her complexion the mottled look of coarse granite blotched with lichen. Her rumpled blue pantsuit hung on her emaciated frame like a loose sack, the open-necked blouse doing nothing to hide the scar across her neck. It had been noted by her coworkers that Sato's only acquiescence to physical vanity appeared to be that of plucking her substantial mustache.
Key Practice Point: What could be more plausible than a "fearsome" "leviathan" of a 4'10" female, hirsute, blotchy, elderly ex-internee cum spymaster?
Step #5: Always Mystify with References to Ivy League Arcana
Despite Langdon's six-foot frame and athletic build, Anderson saw none of the cold, hardened edge he expected from a man famous for surviving an explosion at the Vatican and a manhunt in Paris. This guy eluded the French police . . . in loafers? He looked more like someone Anderson would expect to find hearthside in some Ivy League library reading Dostoyevsky.
Ah, yes, the roaring fires of Widener Library, where once A Superfluous Man was wont to roam with his much dog-eared copy of The Brothers Karamazov.
Perhaps I should have spent more time in physical training so as to improve my chances of eluding those crack French gumshoes, the terror of criminals everywhere.
Step #6: Paint Your Heroes and Villains in Shades of Gray
Even so, Mal'akh had learned something else from Katherine. Something that has earned her a few extra hours of life today. Katherine had confirmed for him that all of her research was in one location, safely locked inside her lab. I must destroy it. Katherine's research was poised to open a new door of understanding, and once the door was opened even a crack, others would follow. It would just be a matter of time before everything changed. I cannot let that happen. The world must stay as it is . . . adrift in ignorant darkness.
The ellipses appear in the original, the better to dramatize Mal'akh's search for just the right description of how he likes his world: "adrift in ignorant darkness." Let's hear it for darkness!
Key Practice Point: Evil-doers generally are willfully and self-consciously evil people. They have a choice between good and evil, and weighing it all in the balance of conscience, they choose evil. The drama of human life is fundamentally Manichean: Bad guys are bad because they hate all good things, like Noetic Science and…stuff like that.
Step #7: Ivy League Professors Are Just Like They Appear in Love Story and The Paper Chase
Langdon hurried over and warmly shook his friend's hand. "What in the world is a Yale blue blood doing on the Crimson campus before dawn?"
See supra at Step #5. Can never have too much clubbish Ivy League bonhomie.
Step #8: The Adjective "Elegant" is Never Cloying
Mr. Brown uses the word "elegant" on twenty-six occasions and "elegance" twice in The Lost Symbol. Among items that warrant this descriptor: the bad guy's "gait"; some bookshelves; a bathroom; the number 33; a protagonist's "aquiline face and regal gray eyes"; and the lone African-American character, upon whom Mr. Brown (quite patronizingly) bestows the Homeric epithet of "an elegant African American" at each appearance. Perhaps Leonardo DaVinci is not the only one to write in coded language, Mr. Brown?
Key Practice Point: Similarly, when making reference to Prof. Langdon's memory, it is absolutely essential to describe it as "eidetic" (3 times in The Lost Symbol alone—countless times in previous novels). Rosy-fingered Dawn and Swift-Footed Achilles would be proud!
Step #9: Mix Your Metaphors Whenever Possible
The wintry night air was gushing through her shattered window, buffeting her body like an arctic wind.
Can't you just feel that wind gush? Brrrr… Reminds me of the rain whistling outside my window.
Step #10: Use Polysyllabic Adjectives and Adverbs Unsparingly, Unstintingly, Frequently, and Repeatedly
Dean Galloway felt alive. Like all mortals, he knew the time was coming when he would shed his mortal shell, but tonight was not the night. His corporeal heart was beating strong and fast . . . and his mind felt sharp. There is work to be done.
A lesser auteur might have written: "Galloway's heart was racing. He knew his death was coming soon, but not tonight."
Key Practice Point: Please note the importance of the word "corporeal" in the above passage. Without it, a reader might have confused the "strong and fast" beating of Dean Galloway's "corporeal" heart with the beating of his figurative heart.
Basta! And see you again next time.

The generous superyacht SORCHA is a motor yacht. This 45 m (146 foot) luxury yacht was developed by Northern Marine in 2005. SORCHA was formerly named 2; Opus, Lia Fail. Superyacht SORCHA is a grand yacht that can accommodate as many as 10 passengers on board and has a total of 9 professional crew. This balanced motor yacht has been envisaged by naval architects Setzer Design Group and Stuart Archer. Setzer Design Group undertook the interior design and styling.
Motor yacht Sorcha is a resin infused composite superyacht as designed by the famed naval architect Ward Setzer and built by the legendary craftsmen in the Pacific Northwest. The superyacht merges contemporary and classic design. She is constructed with a full displacement hull and wide 29'5" beam that allows for an 8' draft. Her 15,235 gallon fuel capacity enables a range of over 4,000 nautical miles. Her twin 3512B Caterpillar diesels engines push her at a 10 knots cruise speed. M/Y Sorcha's composite construction provides significant weight, structural, insulating and acoustical advantages when compared to other yacht building materials like metal.
The yacht's wider design collaboration came from Setzer Design Group and Stuart Archer. The technical naval architect intellectual property are a work of Setzer Design Group. Motor Yacht SORCHA received her elegant interior designing from the interior design company of Setzer Design Group. Built at Northern Marine the yacht was built in the yacht producing country of the United States. She was successfully launched in Anacortes Wa in 2005 before being handed over to the owner. Her hull was constructed with composite. The motor yacht main superstructure is made for the most part with composite. With a beam of 8.7 m / 28.5 feet SORCHA has spacious size. A reasonably shallow draught of 2.23m (7.3ft) determines the amount of ports she can berth in, contingent on their particular depth at low tide.
She is powered with two agile CATERPILLAR diesel engine(s) and can drive at a comparatively good max speed underway of approximately 16 knots. The main engine of the yacht generates 1200 horse power (or 883 kilowatts). Her total HP is 2400 HP and her total Kilowatts are 1766. Her propulsion units are twin screw propellers.
Having volume for a limit of 10 welcome guests sleeping aboard, the SORCHA accommodates everyone luxuriously. The boat has room for circa 9 professional crewmembers to maintain and sail.

Report: GM Resurrects Chevy Caprice With 355-Horsepower Police Cruiser
At the annual International Association of Chiefs of Police convention being held in Denver, Colorado, General Motors unveiled an all-new police cruiser, resurrecting the Chevrolet Caprice name. The General was rumored to be working on a police cruiser based on the Australian Holden Commodore (formerly rebadged and sold as the Pontiac G8 in North America). This is not that car.
Due to the need for more passenger and cargo room, this new vehicle, called the Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle (PPV) is based on a different (and larger Australian car) sold as the Holden Caprice/Statesman in its native land. The same rear-drive architecture is also used for the Chevy Camaro.
The car is large, with more interior space than a Ford Crown Vic and almost 4-inches more legroom in the rear seats – so you'll be in for a comfortable ride after your botched attempt to rob the 7/11. There's also more room up front and special seats were designed to keep officers comfortable over long periods of time. Because the Caprice isn't based on any current road going vehicle in North America, the vehicle was purpose built with plenty of input from law enforcement agencies. They even went so far as to use materials that will hold up better to more rigorous use.
Best of all, the car will come with a 6.0-liter V8 rated at 355hp and 384 ft-bs of torque. So watch out street racers, because this new cruiser can hit 60 mph in less than six seconds. A V6 engine will also be offered in the future.
"The new Chevrolet Caprice police car is the right tool at the right time for law enforcement," said Jim Campbell, general manager for GM Fleet and Commercial Operations. "We asked for a lot of feedback from our police customers, which helped us develop a vehicle that is superior to the Crown Victoria in key areas."
GM will begin selling the Chevrolet Caprice PPV in 2011, exclusively to law enforcement agencies.

Be On The Lookout: All-New Chevy Caprice Police Car Reports For Duty In 2011
DENVER – An all-new Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle (PPV) will join the ranks of law enforcement departments across North America in 2011. It's a modern, full-size, rear-drive sedan that will offer both V-8 and V-6 engines, as well as a host of specialized equipment and features.
Chevrolet made the announcement at the annual International Association of Chiefs of Police convention, in Denver, Colorado. The Caprice PPV will be available for ordering next year and will hit the streets in early 2011.
"The new Chevrolet Caprice police car is the right tool at the right time for law enforcement," said Jim Campbell, general manager for GM Fleet and Commercial Operations. "We asked for a lot of feedback from our police customers, which helped us develop a vehicle that is superior to the Crown Victoria in key areas."
Vice President, Global Chevrolet Brand Brent Dewar added, "Along with Impala and Tahoe, the Caprice PPV gives agencies a greater range of choices for police and special service vehicles that are all available from Chevrolet."
Unlike other police cars on the market, the Caprice PPV is not based on existing "civilian" passenger-car model sold in North America. It has been developed in key areas specifically for police duty, containing modern equipment and features:
* Powerful 6.0L V-8 with fuel-saving Active Fuel Management technology and E85 capability delivers expected best-in-class 0-60 acceleration (sub six seconds) and top speed; a V-6 engine will also be offered, beginning in the 2012 model year * Optional front-seat-only side curtain air bags allows a full-width rear-seat barrier for greater officer safety * Two trunk-mounted batteries, with one of them dedicated to powering various police equipment * Designed for five-passenger seating, meaning the upper-center section of the dashboard can be used for equipment mounting without the concern of air bag deployment interference * Compatibility with in-dash touch-screen computer technology * Special front seats designed for the long-term comfort of officers whose car is their effective office, including space that accommodates the bulk of a typical equipment belt
The front seats are sculpted to "pocket" the equipment belt, which greatly increases the comfort for a great range of police officer sizes. The foam density of the seatback and cushion insert surfaces are designed to conform to the shape of an equipment belt's various items, too, allowing the officer's back to rest properly on the seatback surface.
"The Chevrolet Caprice PPV's seats represent a revolution in comfort and utility for officers who spend long hours in their car," said Bob Demick, lead seat design manager. "The shape also enhances entry and egress, making it easier for officers to exit the vehicle quickly. The seatback bolsters, for example, have been purposefully contoured to help pocket the equipment on the belt, which includes the gun, Taser and handcuffs, which rest comfortably in the sculpted lower bolsters. That also increases the longevity of the trim cover surface."
Along with comfort, the materials used in the seats were also carefully selected. High-wear materials were chosen to stand up to long hours of everyday use, while breathability, long-term durability and ease of cleaning were also important criteria.
Engineers worked on several iterations of the seat, testing a couple of versions in the field to get real-world feedback from police officers, who used prototype seats in their cruisers for a month. Their input helped determine the final design.
Class-leading space
The Caprice PPV is based on GM's global rear-drive family of vehicles that also underpins the Chevy Camaro. It uses the longest wheelbase of the architecture – 118.5 inches (3,010 mm) – along with a four-wheel independent suspension that delivers responsive high-performance driving characteristics that are crucial in some police scenarios.
Caprice PPV's long wheelbase also contributes to exceptional spaciousness. Compared to the primary competition, its advantages include:
* A larger interior volume – 112 cubic feet / 3,172 liters – than the Ford Crown Victoria, including nearly 4 inches (101 mm) more rear legroom * The barrier between the front seat and rear seat is positioned farther rearward, allowing for full front-seat travel and greater recline for officer comfort * At 18 cubic feet (535 liters) free space (beyond battery located in trunk), the Caprice's trunk volume is large enough to accommodate a full-size spare tire under a flat load surface in the trunk storage area.
The Caprice's 6.0-liter V-8 is rated at an estimated 355 horsepower (265 kW) with an estimated 384 lb-ft of torque. It is backed by a six-speed automatic transmission that is performance-calibrated for police duty. Additional, police car-specific powertrain and vehicle system features include:
* High-output alternator * Engine oil, transmission and power steering coolers * Standard 18-inch steel wheels with bolt-on center caps * Large, four-wheel disc brakes with heavy-duty brake pads * Heavy-duty suspension components * Police-calibrated stability control system * Driver information center in the instrument cluster with selectable speed tracking feature.
A host of complementary features are also offered, including special equipment packages such as spotlights; lockouts for the power windows and locks; and an "undercover" street-appearance package (9C3).
To enable more room for interior equipment, the standard radio can be relocated to the trunk, allowing for an in-dash, touch-screen computer to be used.
Caprice on patrol: A brief history
Chevrolet's history with law enforcement is almost as old as the brand itself. Police departments have used Chevy sedans as police cars for decades, ordering them with basic equipment and powerful V-8 engines – including some special engines that weren't available in regular-production models, such as the 1959 Biscayne that was offered with up to 315 horsepower.
The full-size Chevrolets joined the force in 1976. All Caprice police cars – including the new, 2011 model – have carried the 9C1 order code. Here's a quick look back at Chevys on patrol:
1959 – Chevy Biscayne police model capable of 135 mph with specially tuned, police-only version of the 348-cubic-inch V-8 engine
1965 – The new "big-block" 396 engine is offered in Biscayne and Bel Air police cars, making them among the most powerful on patrol; a 427 V-8 was added in 1966
1976 – The 9C1 order code is given for the first time to a full-size Chevy police car package. It carries the Impala name.
1977 – The full-size Chevy is downsized. The 9C1 police package is retained, as is the Impala name.
1986 – The Caprice name replaces Impala, as the car is updated for the mid- and late-1980s – including the option of a powerful, 5.7-liter small-block V-8.
1991 – A new-generation Caprice is launched, with the 9C1 police car still on the beat.
1994 – The 260-horsepower (194 Nm) LT1 V-8 engine is offered in the Caprice 9C1, making it one of the fastest full-size police cars ever offered.
1996 – Caprice police car production ends, as GM's full-size, body-on-frame car architecture is discontinued.
2011 – The Caprice PPV returns to active duty.

In the end though, the gods of skin-of-your-teeth timings were smiling on us and we arrived at a soggy Parker's Piece in time to take up places right at the barrier where the torch would pass us. And we waited, and waited, and waited some more. Initially the girls were incredulous "We're really going to stand here for an hour and a half?!" but as the excitement levels (and crowds) grew they became happier, and there were just enough interesting people wandering up and down the path to keep them engaged.
Then bang on time, the parade came along and before we knew it the torchbearer was running past us and we were all cheering. Unfortunately both our cameras chose that moment to have epic failures, and the best shot we have is this one:
We did see the beacon being lit, and then after some more dancing about and flailing in the mud the flame was transferred into its little holding lantern and taken off to bed. And that was that. On the way back to the car I spotted the coach it was going to be travelling off in, and whipped out my poor old phone, which is more or less steam powered and by the time it had started a park & ride bus was in the way ...
But we have pictures in our heads, and memories that will last for years; and it taught us all the lesson to look at life through your eyes, not just through the lens of a camera because you can't predict the crucial moment it will let you down!

Mass trials in the biggest Arab state have reinforced fears among human rights groups that the government and anti-Islamist judges are using all levers of power to crush opponents. Egypt's government says its judiciary is independent.
A court in April recommended the death sentence for the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and 682 supporters, and handed down a final capital punishment ruling for 37 others, alarming the United States, the United Nations and rights groups.
The 37 had initially been sentenced to death after a trial lasting only a few days. They were part of another group of 529 Muslim Brotherhood supporters, most of whom were jailed for life in the final sentencing.
"The appealed verdict (against) the convicted was marred by falsity, an infringement of the right to defend (oneself) and an error in applying the law," state newspaper Al-Ahram quoted public prosecutor Hesham Barakat as saying with reference to the 37.
"It appears (to the public prosecutor) that the verdict is marred by flaws and (he) sees the appeal as a way to seek the rule of law which states that the accused is innocent until proven guilty in a legal trial which guarantees that he has the right to defend himself," Al-Ahram said on its website.
It said the right to defend oneself must be given in a "practical" fashion, not just "theoretically".
The appeal was also reported by state-run news agency MENA.
Turmoil has deepened since the army overthrew Egypt's first freely elected president, Mohamed Mursi of the Brotherhood, in July. Security forces have killed hundreds of Brotherhood members in the streets and arrested thousands.
Former army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is widely expected to win presidential elections due on May 26-27.

Network Security Appliances Explained
Often used by organizations to ease remote management and to cut costs, a network server appliance is a typically inexpensive computer that enables Internet access and some business-related activities.
What is a Network Appliance?
Often used by organizations to ease remote management and to cut costs, a network server appliance is a typically inexpensive personal computer (sometimes called a thin client) that enables Internet access and some business-related activities. Applications used on network appliances typically are housed on a Web server accessed by the appliance.
Closed Box Systems
Network appliances lack many of the features of a fully equipped PC, and are often referred to as "closed box systems" as they provide a complete solution consisting of limited hardware and software that is needed to perform a single or specialized set of functions. This hardware device allows for quick installation, ease-of-use, low maintenance and is typically managed through a Web browser. Increasingly, we're seeing appliances used in network security to replace more traditional software-based security solutions.
UTM: Unified Threat Management
Popular with business and enterprise, Unified Threat Management (UTM) is a category of security appliances that integrates a range of security features into a single appliance. UTM appliances combine firewall, gateway anti-virus, and intrusion detection system (IDS) or intrusion prevention capabilities into a single platform. UTM is designed protect users from blended threats while reducing complexity. UTM appliances offer a way to manage multiple appliances from a single location, create and manage global security policies, provide real-time monitoring and logging, as well as provide a single interface to manage security. Its basically the evolution of traditional firewall and VPN (virtual private network) solutions that incorporates many additional products and services.
Network security appliances generally consist of a set of network management and security tools that are installed on-site. Many network security appliances will also provide organizations with secure VPN for remote access.
Terms to Know: Network Appliance Security Tools
(IPS) intrusion prevention system: An IPS, or intrusion prevention system is used in computer security. It provides policies and rules for network traffic along with an intrusion detection system for alerting system or network administrators to suspicious traffic, but allows the administrator to provide the action upon being alerted. Some compare an IPS to a combination of IDS and an application layer firewall for protection.
(IDS) intrusion detection system: An intrusion detection system (IDS) inspects all inbound and outbound network activity and identifies suspicious patterns that may indicate a network or system attack from someone attempting to break into or compromise a system. An IDS evaluates a suspected intrusion once it has taken place and signals an alarm. An IDS also watches for attacks that originate from within a system.
(VPN) virtual private network: A network that is constructed by using public wires to connect nodes. For example, there are a number of systems that enable you to create networks using the Internet as the medium for transporting data. These systems use encryption and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
firewall: A system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network. Firewalls can be implemented in both hardware and software, or a combination of both. Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks connected to the Internet, especially intranets. All messages entering or leaving the intranet pass through the firewall, which examines each message and blocks those that do not meet the specified security criteria.
antivirus scanning: A utility that searches a hard disk for viruses and removes any that are found. Most antivirus include an auto-update feature that enables the program to download profiles of new viruses so that it can check for the new viruses as soon as they are discovered.
content/spam filter: A pattern through which data is passed. Only data that matches the pattern is allowed to pass through the filter. In this case the filters would block based on a list of Web sites, blocking illegal, objectionable or non-business-related content.

Re: Jobrunner to connect remote Windows RemotelyAnywhere standalone server2012-03-29T10:53:17ZThis is the accepted answer. This is the accepted answer.Hi Prerna,
I am unsure what you mean by a "remote windows RemotelyAnywhere standalone server". Is this a Windows server being managed by "Remotely Anywhere" administration tools? If so, what OS version is on this remote server? Is the machine running an SSH server and what is it?
In the jobrunner file you reference authorization keys. Can you connect from the TUAM server to this remote server using SSH client tool and do you need to provide these keys or is it authenticated using just username/password? The path you provide to private keystore file on TUAM server is"/home/tuam/.ssh/id_rsa". Does the file exist on this path?

I am sorry for being unclear in my previous post . Yes, it is a windows server which is being managed by "remotely anywhere" tool.The RA version used on this server is 10.0.1086
and OS version is Version 5.2.3790.The machine is using RemotelyAnywhere SSH Server 10.0.1086 based on OpenSSH 5.3 .
The tuam authorized keys have already been setup on the remote system.The private keystore file on TUAM server lies in /home/tuam/.ssh/id_rsa . I am able to connect this remote server from TUAM box via SSH though it is always prompting for password.So I need to enter the password manually everytime. That is why I am trying to write down a jobrunner script which will
have the encrypted password for that remote server and would be able to connect the remote windows server.It would be great if you can help in this.

Re: Jobrunner to connect remote Windows RemotelyAnywhere standalone server2012-04-02T08:58:57ZThis is the accepted answer. This is the accepted answer.Hi Prerna,
I have some more questions to help me get a better picture of your set-up. They are as follows:
• What version of Windows (i.e. 2003, 2008 etc.) is the remote server?
• What OS (i.e. Windows, UNIX, Linux etc.) and the OS version is the TUAM server running on?
• What SSH server is running on the remote server?
• In the jobfile you reference the key file as follows: <Parameter KeyStoreFileName="/home/tuam/.ssh/id_rsa"/>. Is this the private key file generated on the remote server?
• What tool did you use to generate the private key file?
• What tool and encryption are you using to encrypt the password?

I have used Bob for unfortunately 2 lawsuits (1 an injury accident and 2nd and auto accident). Bob has always taken his time to explain and help me understand my given lawsuits. He has gone above and beyond to offer advice to me in regards to even how to handle the repair shop that was holding my car in disrepair and not doing their due diligence to get my car returned to me. Because of Bob's advice I was able to finally get my car repaired and released. I can not say enough about Bob. He is extremely responsive and if you are thinking of hiring him and are undecided, give him a call and you will see why he is the best attorney I have ever found or worked with. Thank you Bob.

Fresh off his harrowing adventure in Night of Zealotry, the Assassin Without a Name is on the hunt, looking for the secret organizations which tried to kill him before they can try again. But the work of his trade doesn't stop just because he's involved in personal business, so when a new client named Walter Goddard comes around wishing to have a rival eliminated, the Assassin Without a Name takes the job. Only after the task is complete does he learn that Walter Goddard is a member of the Society for the Progression of Science and Technology, one of the very same organizations the Assassin Without a Name has been seeking. At one of the society's premiere technology galas, the Assassin Without a Name meets Gwendolyn Morgan, a beautiful widow who has run into problems of her own with the society. Not only does she believe the organization hired an assassin to murder her husband, but she's certain she's next. Convincing himself he's only helping Gwendolyn in exchange for the society's darkest secrets and not because of his part in making the woman into a widow, the Assassin Without a Name finds himself in the unusual role of protector as the society dispatches their Black Guard watchdogs to kill them both.
