Hello Total Information Awareness, Goodbye Freedom
My new OpEd at the Daily Caller:
Top Democrats and Republicans have finally found something they can agree on: it's acceptable for the National Security Agency to indiscriminately seize and warehouse U.S. citizens' phone, Internet, and credit card records. They assure us that the NSA is only collecting metadata, and it's only to protect us from terrorist attacks.
Read the rest here.
And no, nothing that I've heard or read since writing this has changed my opinion. Questioning Edward Snowden's character is a red herring. It's not about Snowden--it's about whether ubiquitous government surveillance is necessary to ensure security. We don't need to monitor the entire US population; we need to do a better job identifying and monitoring potential terrorists.

BlackBerry, Go Back to Your Roots!
My column at NewsFactor Network:
The only thing tougher than building a successful business from scratch is turning around a big company that has lost its mojo. Research In Motion launched the smartphone market by producing mobile phones that email addicts loved. But when Apple and Google came out with smartphones for consumers, and developers created hundreds of thousands of apps for the devices, they started a "bring your own device" craze that took a big bite out of RIM's sales.

ZigBee Earns a Place in the Home
My latest article about wireless technology at NewsFactor Network:
The consumer electronics industry has talked about home automation since low-cost microcontrollers first appeared on the market a few decades ago. While some envision homes straight out of The Jetsons, most entrepreneurs have looked for practical ways to make today's homes more comfortable, energy-efficient, and safe. A key missing ingredient, however, has been a technology for networking large numbers of sensors and controllers freely distributed around the home.

ADDENDUM (January 11, 2013)
Cees Links, Founder and CEO of GreenPeak Technologies, a leading maker of ZigBee chips, predicted a while back that radio-based remote controls will ultimately replace infrared-based remote controls. Cees was a pioneer of wireless LANs (read his fascinating blog entry about Steve Jobs and wireless LANs here) and is now a pioneer of home automation networks.

Why We Are Headed Toward Economic Ruin
You can't keep increasing the money supply without devaluing the dollar.
You can't keep increasing regulations without destroying small businesses that simply don't have the resources to comply.
You can't keep raising taxes without discouraging investment.
And you can't keep increasing government spending without crowding out the private sector.

Virtualization Is the New Key to Wireless Innovation
My lastest column at Sci-Tech Today:
In the past, wireless carriers built and operated their own networks. Now, vital components of those networks are being virtualized--their functions are being provided as services over the Internet. Wireless network virtualization isn't just a more cost-effective way of doing things, however. Virtualization creates exciting new business opportunities for operators, resellers, and users.

Does NFC Technology Have the Magic Touch?
You've probably seen Samsung commercials promoting a new technology (called NFC) that lets smartphone users exchange data just by tapping them together. My latest column at NewsFactor explains why NFC is destined to succeed:
Proponents say that near field communications (NFC) will change the world. With a simple tap of your mobile phone you'll be able to pay for things, download information from posters, and open doors.

Free Market Lessons From the Gadget Boom
My latest op-ed at American Thinker:
For years, the press was filled with stories about how the U.S. had fallen behind Europe in wireless. A 1999 TIME article entitled "Why Your Cell Phone Stinks" boasted that Europeans routinely used their mobile phones to pay bills, make reservations, and share digital photos. Americans, meanwhile, were still catching up with Europeans in text messaging.

Why Is the Race Close?
Decades of media propaganda and public school indoctrination, as well as growing dependence on government, are taking their toll:
President Obama's re-election hopes should be growing dimmer by the hour.

Obama's Foreign Policy Chickens Come Home to Roost
My column at the Daily Caller from September 13, 2012:
Four years of appeasement are finally paying off. The Obama administration apologized for a movie that no reasonable, intelligent person could take seriously. The apology served as an invitation to attack our embassies. And it predictably led to the demand that we prosecute the movie's producers for "hate speech."

Ole Miss 89 – Vanderbilt 79 (OT) – Video Highlights
Marshall Henderson hit a three-pointer at the buzzer for the Rebels to send the game into overtime. "I just kind of floated in there, but I'll take it."
Henderson's shot to tie the game was preceded just a few seconds before by a three-pointer from Vanderbilt's Kevin Bright giving the Commodores a 78-75 lead with 3.2 seconds to go.
Check out the back-to-back three pointers below.
Ole Miss outscored Vanderbilt 11-1 in the overtime period. Henderson led the Rebels with a game-high 26 points. The Commodores had a 67-54 lead with 8:39 to go in regulation. The loss drops Vanderbilt to 6-9 overall and 0-3 in conference play. With the win, Ole Miss goes to 14-2 overall and 3-0 in the SEC. It's the first time Ole Miss has started 3-0 in the conference since the 2005-2006 season.
Kentucky 75 – Tennessee 65. Video Highlights
Kentucky took the lead for good with 6:16 to go in the game. Nerlens Noel finished with 12 points, nine rebounds, two assists, six blocks and four steals. The sequence below of a putback at one end and a blocked shot at the other shows how dominating he can be.
Kyle Wiltjer's 17 points led four double-digit scorers for Kentucky which now stands at 11-5 and 2-1 in conference play. Jordan McRae was Tennessee's lone double-digit scorer with 23 points. The Vols fall to 8-7 overall and 0-3 in the SEC. Tennessee is 4-34 all-time in Rupp Arena.

TAMPA, Fla. — With the Republican National Convention at last in full-throated roar, nominee Mitt Romney and his team reached out Wednesday to connect with critical voting groups — veterans, Hispanics and women — while gleefully mocking the man he is out to defeat in November.

Paul Ryan's wife Janna, right, following New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's speech to the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., on Tuesday, Aug. 28, 2012. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong)
Romney himself was ducking out of his own convention in Tampa to address the American Legion Convention in Indianapolis. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a top Hispanic voice in the GOP, made the round of morning talk shows to defend the GOP nominee's policies. And Ann Romney and Janna Ryan, the wife of Romney's running mate, teamed up to headline a "Women for Romney" event.
His nomination now official, Romney was free at last to start dipping into his general-election pot of campaign cash.
"We're excited that now he's going to be able to spend money, both in English and in Spanish, to explain to people how his policies will help grow the economy, help small business, help people have the confidence to invest in the future," Rubio said on "CBS This Morning."
To ensure the cash keeps rolling in, Ann Romney emailed supporters a fundraising appeal that echoed her Tuesday night speech to the convention.
"This man will not fail," she promised in the plea.
The main draw Wednesday night is vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan, the 42-year-old Wisconsin congressman and author of a tough budget that remakes the way the government spends money. A poll by the Pew Research Center and The Washington Post found Americans deeply divided about Ryan, whom they described as conservative, intelligent, fake, phony.
President Barack Obama, for his part, was courting another key voting group — young voters — with a second day of campaigning in college towns. He had hoped to speak on the University of Virginia campus, but the school rejected that idea, saying it would disrupt classes on the second day of the semester. He'll speak in an off-campus pavilion instead.
The politics played out as Hurricane Isaac blew ashore on the Gulf Coast, casting uncertainty into a convention that scrubbed the first day of events out of fear it would swipe Tampa. Any scenes of destruction along the Gulf Coast were sure to temper the celebratory tone, and further compression of the schedule was possible if the storm proved disastrous.
The latest economic news suggested weak growth in the second half of the year, fodder for Republicans who blame Obama for the sluggish recovery. The U.S. economy grew at a tepid 1.7 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter, the government reported Wednesday, a bit better than expected due to slightly stronger consumer spending and greater exports.
The GOP's outreach effort went into full gear after Ann Romney offered convention delegates — and a national TV audience — a soft-sided portrayal of the Republican candidate in her convention address. Her appearance was paired with a parade of gleeful Obama-bashers as the GOP seized its moment after days of worry about the hurricane.
Beyond Ryan, Wednesday's lineup includes 2008 Republican presidential candidate John McCain and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Romney speaks Thursday night to bring down the curtain-closing balloons. Obama's Democratic National Convention follows next week in Charlotte, N.C.
Rubio held out Ryan as a "serious policy thinker" who's "going to have a bunch of new fans across this country" after he speaks.

It's not perfect, but the atmosphere, chicken and mac and cheese make up for parking and service quirks. Try the burger and the lemonade!
Is this place perfect? No. If you're a BBQ snob, this place is a skip, but if you're in the mood for some decent beef brisket and sweet tea that's too sweet, this is your place. Servers are nice and friendly and the place is cute.
All one flavor – Don't understand why people like this place. I should give it a second chance, but do I wanna'?
Great food, easygoing atmosphere – We were at Larkins on a Friday night, and it wasn't crowded, service was excellent, and the food was divine. The side dishes are incredible - we had greens, red beans/rice, and the mac n' cheese. Waiters were attentive and made good recommendations. We'll be back!
No parking. No alcohol. No credit cards. No future. – Decent food and cute surroundings but a really strange operation, and finding a place to park is like taking a walk on the wiid side. No parking lot to speak of, and if you miss your chance on the on the crazy busy curve out front, you're in for an unexpected adventure -- there's no U-turn anytime soon and if you make the next right, it's off on a trip to the moon. Prices are just weird -- at brunch, $12 for an a la carte egg dish, $4 for lemonade; $5 for a smallish side bowl of grits or potatoes, but only $3 for bacon. What could be cheaper wholesale than those two starches (even if you throw in bacon bits, butter and some imagination, way overpriced). Piece de resistance: waiter told us upon presenting the check that it was CASH ONLY (ATM available). Apparently there's a little sign on the door that says so, but since the customer ahead of us kindly held that door open for us to enter, we had no clue. No Amex is one annoying thing, but no credit cards AT ALL and $5 for grits? Hard to swallow and no booze to help. What planet?
Not for kids- terrible service – I had a party of 15 and called left voice mail and emailed them to reserve the patio. I got an email saying no problem. I told them it was after my 5 year old's baptism. Then I emailed them a few days later and said what would happen if I have 18-20 people. I never heard back. I tried calling-- no answer. No emails.
The owner was one of our servers. Here is how the emails went down:
FROM ME: We want to take about 15 people to your brunch Sunday. My friend is the host. We have both been to Larkins before and love it. We are looking for outside space or possibly a room to reserve. what is possible? Also, do you have kids menus?
FROM LARKINS: We would love to have you guys. We have our outdoor garden patio which is a perfect spot to have Sunday Brunch... Our semi-private dining room accommodates up to 12 people only. We can put you inside at one table but would be around other tables. So there you have it, it is all up to you.
We do not have a kids menu.
FROM ME: Hi— so I would like to confirm the patio for 15 people Sunday, at 11:30am for brunch. Please email me back that you received this....
FROM LARKINS: Got it, See you Sunday.
FROM ME: Hi- what happens if we have 15-20 people? Are we still good to go in that patio area? It's for after a Christening.
FROM LARKINS: (no reply)
FROM ME: Hi- I'm not sure who this is directed to. But I just wanted to tell you how the internet can destroy a restaurant. I must say everyone in my party was Yelping about the worst restaurant experience of their lives. It's so sad that my son's baptism is overshadowed by the disaster that happened Sunday.
You made a big mistake. You knew we were coming. You helped others in the restaurant before helping us. We waited 45 minutes for coffee (we timed it) and 1.5 hours for our food. I NEVER got my food at all. I was told "It's coming" and nothing. I just ate someone's grits then picked something up on my way home.
I have never seen my son so hungry when there was nothing I could do about it. He was fetal in my arms whining how starving he was. You have no idea unless you have kids how painful that is.
We were told there was nothing that could be done. Not enough clean glasses. Do you not have glasses for capacity? People were being served before us because their order "was easy". I am so sad that a restaurant I wanted to support failed so miserably. I had bad service when I went sometime last year and I chalked it up to you just getting started. I would have never thought it would be this bad. BTW, I never did get a reply to my last email about more people or a return call when I left a voice mail.
I am 47 and from New Orleans and have been going to restaurants all my life and I have got to say, hands down, this was the worst experience of my life. That is saying a lot.
FROM LARKINS: Just thought I would take some of my time to respond to your e-mail.
Parties of more than 15 usually pay a fee to reserve a special
section of our restaurant.(This helps large parties to have a smooth pleasent time, it allows us to have a designated person for your party.) I think your final count was 23.
That being said, my staff attempted to accommodate your party to the best
of our ability. It seems that Chuck E. Cheese would have better served you
and your children on your special day. Sorry your experiance was so
horrible. Hopefully you can concentrate on the positive of the day and not
the negative. Our restaurant is not a fit for everyone, as it was not for
you and your family. Hope your future dining experiences are more
enjoyable elsewhere.
Terrible experience at Larkin's – Parking was a joke on the little side street. The lot in back has four spaces that were probably taken by the waiters. I asked a waiter, who was on the porch, "Hi, we're here for brunch. It's our first time. Do we check in with you?" He could not have been more hostile,"Do you have reservations?", he scowled, hopefully assuming we were a big party and could be turned away. " When I called, they said we could just walk in". There were only four of us. Visibly disappointed, he muttered for us to follow him in and then just left us standing in the dining room until someone else told us to take one of the available tables. My wife saw the first waiter spying angrily from behind a curtain in the back that he quickly closed when caught. "I'll try to find you some menus", the second waiter offered bitterly before he too became lost. What seemed like days passed, actually 15 minutes, when he came rushing by again, I asked through parched lips, "Can we see a menu please?". " I told you, I'll try to find them." I told you? I told you? Surely my hearing was also going haywire. A waiter would never say" I told you", would they? Another 15 minutes waiting for iced tea in (who cares now) Mason jars. Then the long march waiting for the food. By the way, Mr Joshua, I saw no art, no charm, and certainly no quaint craftsman experience. Only disdain, disregard. disrespect, and a hostile vibe. Before I could lose my mind and voice, we decided to cut our losses and leave, long before the food arrived. Another seemingly good idea gone very wrong. Happy Ending! We had a lovely brunch at The Castaways in Burbank. I highly recommend their vibe.
The chicken is to die for! – We ate here last weekend and had an amazing time. The restaurant is small so you may have to wait. Great service and I will be back for the fried chicken it was delicious. My husband had the jumbalya and wouldn't share. Great staff- Great food-Great prices. Who new this little gem was hiding in Eagle Rock.
Casual place with great food and decor – I went to Larkin's last Saturday and I loved the fried chicken, it was perfectly seasoned and crispy. The cornbread, mac n' cheese, mashed potatoes and gravey were all delicious. I also loved the complimentary black eyed pea dip. Everytyhing had plenty of flavor. The service was a little slow but I didn't mind because the food was satisfying. Know before hand that they close somewhere between 3 and 5. Also, they dont serve regular fountain drinks like pepsi and coke. I loved the decor, it was pretty original ( stained glass, "woodsy" feel, picnic tables as out door seating). The online menu is a bit different and should be updated. The quality of the food outwayed all the negative things for me thats why i give them 5. Nevertheless, I would go back and even recommend to a friend.
Amazing Food! – I've been here twice and can't wait to bring more friends. This resturant is in a great Craftsman style house and the food was amazing! I recomend the fried chicken! It melts in your mouth, the blue cheese wedge was also worth having then have the banana pudding for desert. The crowd is young, cool and hip. They have a great patio. The staff was friendly and fun!
Great food! Great people! – We are "regulars" at Larkin's and have been since December '07. This place is great and although, yes, I agree that parking is difficult and the wait is long if you don't have a reservation - it is so worth it! We've never been disappointed with the service, always with a smile and always accomodating. The food is delish! Our favorites are either the Jambalaya or the Red Snapper - the collard greens, mac n' cheese - and of course ALL of their desserts. We've hosted several little parties and Joshua has been great in helping me get everything together and pulling it off effortlestly. I can't say enough great things about Larkin's - yes, it has room for improvement - but nothing like what's been described in the other reviews. It's a great small restaurant, with a small restaurant feel and awesome home styled cooking. Not soul food, not California cuisine - just great food.
Great food and Ambience – I read the variety of reviews and have frequented Larkin's three times and had impeccable service with a smile and the food was also tasty and flavorable. I have been twice for lunch and once at dinner and due to the popularity of the place, I recommend having dinner between 6pm-7pm because anything after 7pm will require a wait.
I like the hot link corn dogs, the killer black eyed pea salsa and the mac and cheese creation is sinful. The po-boy sandwiches are also great and I especially like the idea of being able to bring my own bottle of wine, how lovely. As for the parking, stop complaining folks as that is becoming the norm in this lovely city and it is only going to get worse.
Just walk or park across the street or for those who did not know, there are about four more spots in the back of the restaurant if you bothered to look.
Glad to see Larkin's is in the community and looking forward to going back again and again and again :)

How comfortable did you feel drafting Alexander Semin in September? Not comfortable enough to draft him when you should have? Was he taken by somebody else in the ninth round when you were considering him in the eighth?
How do you feel about that now?
The league leader in points (tied heading into Saturday) and in points per game, Semin is showing all the skills that were on display in 2006-07 when he had 73 points. He missed much of last year with a sprained ankle and when he did play he was clearly still hampered by the injury.
Semin isn't the only player who has bounced back from such a year. Entering Saturday, Philadelphia's Simon Gagne was 11th in scoring with 12 points in nine contests, Joe Sakic had a point per game, Shea Weber was tied for the lead amongst rearguards and Kevin Bieksa had nearly a point per game. If those players were healthy last season, each one of them would have been drafted a good three to five rounds ahead of where they actually were selected this past summer in fantasy leagues.
I don't have a hard and fast rule about the amount of aging stars (Sakic) or Band-Aid Boys (Gagne) or possible future Band-Aid Boys (any young player who misses significant time in his first two or three seasons, i.e. Weber, Semin or Bieksa) on my fantasy league. But I do monitor the situation while sitting down at the draft. If I see I have Semin on my team, I probably think twice before drafting a Weber.
It's all about the level of risk you are comfortable with. In my one keeper league – the league is in its 19th season – the team in second is just a few points ahead of me. He has Semin, Gagne and Sakic. It's your classic "buy low" scenario and he really took advantage. Will he hang on? I would eat my hat if he does. One of those players will get hurt again and my money is on Gagne, who has more of a history than the rest of the group.
Even so, it's a game of luck and this fantasy owner took too many risks and every one of them has paid off. He could have just as easily had Justin Williams, Joni Pitkanen and Pavol Demitra instead of the other three. In the summer, how was anyone to know which players would get hurt again and which ones would bounce back?
Dobber's Predictions:
Alexander Semin will play at least 78 games and wind up with 85 points. When Alex Ovechkin gets rolling, Semin will start to slow.
Simon Gagne will get to the 35-game mark (31 points) before suffering a minor injury. Upon his return, he will get to 62 games before missing more time. Expect 59 points in 62 contests.
Kevin Bieksa will miss games from time to time with minor injuries, but will finish with 54 points in 72 games, completely a solid comeback year.
Joe Sakic will play 80 games and garner 80 points. Never doubt Big Joe!
Shea Weber will also get to the 80-game mark and have a Dion Phaneuf-like breakout season, tallying 53 points.

Hey kid! It's not speculators that raise up the prices at the pump or on the markets, it's the MANIPULATORS more so. Supply, which they regulate as well to keep prices higher [no matter what most will say about that, it's sure coincidental that they have quite a few refineries closed at times and the price of gas just happens to go up], has some bearing as well. The people who are speculators, are just buying, just like with a bond, option, stock, coin, bullion, etc., hoping to make a profit. That doesn't really move the markets, unless it's enough of them, and most everyone who makes an investment is a speculator at some time in their life, even through a 401k or some similar vehicle.

How did the Arizona Cardinals spend their bye week?
While the Redbirds certainly limped into their Week 10 hiatus on the heels of a five-game losing streak, not all of their time off was spent on the practice field.
The Cardinals got back to the fundamentals this week, but after Thursday's practice the team was given the weekend off to regroup.
Since the hectic 17-week season keeps players away from their families during the holiday season, any time an extended reprieve from the field is granted, everyone jumps at the opportunity.
Here's a taste of what members of the Cardinals were doing with their respective weekends:
Defensive tackle Darnell Dockett kept tabs on some of the top-ranked teams in college football.

But leave it to Larry Fitzgerald to have the most fun-filled weekend. He spent his time off with strength coach John Lott at the happiest place on earth, Disneyland.

Reasons for blocking your place in the Terms .
2. All about the project
1. How do I create a new project?To create a project , you must first have a user account and be logged in..
Under " New Project " You can create a new project.
There is a time 2 different types of projects:
- Forward
- Webspace
Creating a new project
First of all, you created a new project:
Then you select a project type:
Then you give your new project a name and choose a category from least :
In the next step you will forgive a name for a subdomain and select a domain from:
The establishment of the web space is now complete.
If you want to create a redirect , there is an additional final step , by your one dominates the destination address and a page title:
In your user account can be found under My Projects your new project .
The establishment of a project will take to complete the configuration up to 15 minutes!
2. How to manage a project?Your projects already started can be found at My projects .
There you can then change the set project properties:
- Project Name
- Project Description
To change the project properties , click on Edit next to the appropriate project.
Other domains barge / delete:
- Subdomains
- Separate domains
Warning: subdomains go after your removal in several months lock status to prevent abuse of the domain name!
For redirects:
- Adjust the forwarding
In webspace:
- Create / delete databases
- Adjust the data for the e -mail delivery
- Customize the advertising
- Learn the credentials for the FTP server
3. How do I delete a project?You can delete your project under "My Projects " , by clicking on the icon behind the project.
4. How do I set up a web space?In this part we go through each tab of the web space.
This tab is only under "My Projects " -> " Web space " available.
To load data to a web space , an FTP client is needed.
What do you take you have to decide for yourself here you will find a wide selection.
FTP Data Extraction:
To gain access to your webspace will need to access the FTP client , you will find this on the project page in your account and have the following structure:
- Server / Host: www13.subdomain.com
- User: user123456
- Password: 12345678
The www directory:
To see the uploaded data at the end on your domain , you need to add the directory " www " on your webspace slide.
FileZilla ( download) is a very good free FTP client suitable.
Inter alia his projects there can also save the Server Manager.
It is possible up to 3 MySQL databases per project to create.
These databases are only accessible locally with us , that means if your various database tools you have on your computer, so this will not work.
create databases:
Enable MySQL database:
To create a database for your project , you need to go to the project page in your account and create a MySQL database at the point.
If this is your first database , so you only have the point there: Enable database , which creates a database according to the following scheme:
- db123456-main
For other databases, you can determine the posterior part of the name itself.
database access:
MySQL database extract:
You will find the access to the activation of the databases on your project page , which look something like this:
- Server / Host: localhost
- User: user123456
- Password: Dein Account Passwort
You also have the option via phpMyAdmin to manage your database.
You also find the link on your project page in the MySQL access.
database access (kilu.de):
This part is intended for all users who do not own databases from the old Kilu .
This does not appear in our new system , but still remain functional and can still be used.
You gain access but only with your old account information , and your password is not changed here at change.
See the old access follows:
- Server / Host: localhost
- User: Benutzername@1
- Password: Dein Account Passwort
Again, the access via phpMyAdmin is possible. Here you can use the same link as for the new databases.
For this, open the Server Manager in FileZilla ( File -> Server Manager ) and click on New Server:
- Server: www1.subdomain.com
- Port: remains empty
- Server Type: FTP
- Logon Type: Normal
- User: user123456
- Password: Dein Account Passwort
Optionally, you also can the folder / www choose as the root directory , ie one does not always open the folder , but is connected to the same folder / www.
Entering / www : This under Advanced in the default directory on server.
then click OK .
DONE The server can now with the Down arrow next to the Select Server Manager icon.
To send e- mails about Kilu you must first set the corresponding point on the project page in your account fill.
must be registered there:
- The SMTP Server eures E- Mail Providers
- Your username for this provider
- Und das Passwort eures E-Mail Accounts
Important when sending is that your one stands a sender and a receiver:
<?php $empfaenger = 'firstname.lastname@example.com'; $betreff = 'Testmail'; $nachricht = 'Das ist eine kurze Testmail!'; $header = 'From: email@example.com' . "\n"; echo mail($empfaenger, $betreff, $nachricht, $header); ?>
Unfortunately, this solution does not work with all email providers , this works without problems with:
- web.de -> smtp.web.de
- mail.google.com -> smtp.googlemail.com
- edumail.at -> pod51002.outlook.com
Further , there is a solution of sat :
<?php // ******************************************************************************************************************************** // smtp mail Funktion for kilu user, modifiziert by das Ass 22.03.2008 http://dasass.kilu.de/smtp.txt // ******************************************************************************************************************************** $name = "Absendername"; // optional $email = "Absender Mail-Adresse"; $smtphost = 'mail.gmx.net'; $smtpuser = 'Kundennummer'; $smtppass = 'Passwort'; $mailfrom = 'eigene Mail-Adresse'; if(strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS,0,3)=='WIN')) { $eol="\r\n"; } elseif (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS,0,3)=='MAC')) { $eol="\r"; } else { $eol="\n"; } function mailserverparse( $socket, $response ) { $server_response = null; while( substr( $server_response, 3, 1 ) != ' ' ) if( !( $server_response = fgets( $socket, 256 ) ) ) trigger_error( 'can not get mail server response codes' ); if( !( substr( $server_response, 0, 3 ) == $response ) ) trigger_error( 'ran into problems sending mail. response: '.$server_response ); return true; } function sendmail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers ) { global $smtphost, $smtpuser, $smtppass, $mailfrom, $eol; if( !$socket = @fsockopen( $smtphost, 25, $errno, $errstr, 20 ) ) trigger_error( "Could not connect to smtp host: {$errno}:{$errstr}" ); if( trim( $subject ) == null ) trigger_error( 'no email Subject specified' ); $message = preg_replace( "#(?<!\r)\n#si", "\r\n", $message ); if( trim( $message ) == null ) trigger_error( 'message was blank' ); if( !preg_match( '#^from:#i', $headers ) && empty( $mailfrom ) ) trigger_error( 'no FROM header set' ); mailserverparse( $socket, '220' ); fputs( $socket, "HELO ".$smtphost.$eol ); mailserverparse( $socket, '250' ); if( !empty( $smtpuser ) && !empty( $smtppass ) ) { fputs( $socket, "AUTH LOGIN".$eol ); mailserverparse($socket, '334' ); fputs( $socket, base64_encode( $smtpuser ).$eol ); mailserverparse($socket, '334' ); fputs( $socket, base64_encode( $smtppass ).$eol ); mailserverparse( $socket, '235' ); } if( $headers != null ) { $headers = rtrim( $headers ); $headers = preg_replace( '#(?<!\r)\n#si', $eol, $headers ); $header_array = explode( $eol, $headers ); $headers = null; $cc = null; $bcc = null; foreach( $header_array as $header ) { if ( preg_match( '#^cc:#si', $header ) ) $cc = preg_replace('#^cc:(.*)#si', '\1', $header); elseif( preg_match( '#^bcc:#si', $header ) ) { $bcc = preg_replace('#^bcc:(.*)#si', '\1', $header); $header = null; } $headers .= ( $header != null )?$header.$eol:null; } $headers = rtrim( $headers ); $cc = explode( ', ', $cc ); $bcc = explode( ', ', $bcc ); } fputs( $socket, "MAIL FROM: <".$mailfrom.">".$eol ); mailserverparse( $socket, '250' ); $to = empty( $to )?'Undisclosed-recipients:;':trim( $to ); if( preg_match( '#[^ ]+\@[^ ]+#', $to ) ) { fputs( $socket, "RCPT TO: ".$to.$eol ); mailserverparse( $socket, '250' ); } if( is_array( $bcc ) ) foreach( $bcc as $address ) { $address = trim( $address ); if( preg_match( '#[^ ]+\@[^ ]+#', $address ) ) { fputs( $socket, "RCPT TO: ".$address.$eol ); mailserverparse( $socket, '250' ); } } if( is_array( $cc ) ) foreach( $cc as $address ) { $address = trim( $address ); if( preg_match( '#[^ ]+\@[^ ]+#', $address ) ) { fputs( $socket, "RCPT TO: ".$address.$eol ); mailserverparse( $socket, '250' ); } } fputs( $socket, "DATA".$eol ); mailserverparse( $socket, '354' ); fputs( $socket, "Subject: ".$subject.$eol ); fputs( $socket, "To: ".$to.$eol ); fputs( $socket, $headers.$eol.$eol ); fputs( $socket, $message.$eol ); fputs( $socket, ".".$eol ); mailserverparse( $socket, '250' ); fputs( $socket, "QUIT".$eol ); fclose( $socket ); return true; } // Funktionsaufruf zum Senden $headers ="From: ".(($name)?$name:"Absender")." <".$email.">".$eol; sendmail( $mailfrom, $subject, $comment, $headers ); ?>
To make sending messages even easier, you can use libraries such as PHPMailer .
Them with things like attachments are so much more comfortable solvable.
A specially adapted for Kilu -user contact form with the ability to send HTML emails with attachments , can be found here: contact form ( HTML / Attachment / spam protection) for Kilu users .
In this area you can adjust the settings for advertising.
Here you can select how the advertising will appear . Either as a layer or toolbar:
This type of advertising is the most frequently encountered sales source . She puts a small window on the currently requested page advertising , but can also quickly close.
Although this option is available for selection , but can not be used at the moment for technical reasons.
Here you can set how many quotes the advertisement is displayed.
There appear no quotes.
This method causes the least difficulty.
simply ('):
The advertisement is displayed with a quotation.
twice ("):
The advertisement is displayed with double quotation marks.
5. How do I configure a domain?
In this section, we go a step by step on the domain tab and explain the operation of each function.
This tab can be found in the My Projects under both forwarding and web space under.
- Here the individual subdomains are listed.
- " Add Subdomain " button and can create new subdomains and add this listing.
- More details about this can be found under create project .
Separate domains
- Here one can , if one is available , start their own main domain . These will be listed again.
- For details about the intrusion of a domain is barging in domain to find.
6. How do I set up a Custom Domain?
Step 1: Adjust the domain provider
1. Log in on the website of the provider domain and click Edit , or similar . next to your domain. 2. Create a CNAME record that points to a subdomain of your project. Add the subdomain nor a final point added!
Example: my - own - domain.de I want on the project : intrude my project. The project already has a subdomain name " my - subdomain.kilu.de ".
The new CNAME record with your domain provider must then implemented something like:
meine-eigenen-domain.de IN CNAME meine-subdomain.kilu.de.
Step 2: Intrusion domain
In the second step you need to go to the project page in your account and enter your domain in "My Domains".
Step 3: Redirect all requests to your project / on your domain
Once the first two steps are done, you can already access your domain through your project. To redirect all requests that arrive on your project on your domain , you can redirect the following in your . edit htaccess:
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^deine-domain.de$ RewriteRule ^(.*) http://deine-domain.de/$1 [L,R=301]
What happens if I delete my subdomain, but would like to continue to use my own domain
A project must always have a subdomain, subdomain can be operated without a project.
What happens if I delete a subdomain which I had used as a CNAME
In this case the CNAME must be set again ( see step 1 ) , to simply use a different subdomain from the same project.
The old CNAME entry can be removed.
3. The . Htaccess
1. What is a . Htaccess?
In the . Htaccess subdomain to users of the service can customize certain features of the Apache server in relation to your own webspace.
2. How do I set a password protection with . Htaccess / . Htpasswd a?
Content . Htaccess
AuthType Basic AuthName "Interner Bereich" AuthUserFile /data/multiserv/users/<user_id>/projects/<project_id>/www/.htpasswd <limit GET POST PUT> require valid-user </limit>
AuthType Basic
Authentication method of the user. In this case, Basic.
AuthName "Interner Bereich"
Describes how the password-protected area is hot . In this case, Internal Area.
AuthUserFile /data/multiserv/users/<user_id>/projects/<project_id>/www/.htpasswd
The value indicates where to find the . Htpasswd file. In your passwords are stored for each user.
To determine the path to your webspace , you created a . Php file with the following content , invite them to your webspace and executes them connect:
<?php echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; ?>
<Limit GET POST PUT>
Specifies what the respective user rights for.
|The claimant may request pages / scripts in a protected directory via a URL
|The beneficiary may sendeni form data in the protected directory
|The claimant may load files in the protected directory
|The beneficiary may invite header pages within the protected directory
|The claimant must delete files within the protected directory
|The claimant may request and responses within the protected directory traced
require valid-user
Specifies that only the users that are defined in the htpasswd get access.
Closes the day for the user again.
Contents of the. Htpasswd
For our example, the content is as follows:
testbenutzer:$1$iSB1puZk$mtzIYmpT/MBHA1lItUVT01 testbenutzer2:$1$qIfZws71$EMz0ByALLE2jKZU/m0/bb1
The first part up to the colon is the user . The second part is the password , in this case 1234. When testuser2 exactly the same.
Important! In the application 's users are case -insensitive!
To create the password protection, there are many different . Htaccess Generator.
Here is a very basic generator in You must enter a user name along with password , and the path to your project. .htaccess Generator :: Webmaster Toolkit
3. What is mod_rewrite and how do I use it?
mod_rewrite is an additional Apache module with which it is possible to access files on other URLs as normal.
So you can for example hereby PHP scripts with the file extension. Php even with the extension. Html reach out to the guest vorzugauckeln a non - dynamic page:
RewriteEngine On RewriteRule (.*)\.php$ $1.html
example : A visitor calls on test.html , but it does not get delivered , but given the test.php
More on mod_rewrite here: modrewrite.de
4. How do I change the charset?
Do you want to change the default charset of your website , it is also possible via the . Htaccess.
For this purpose, you must specify configuration parameters in total 2:
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 php_value default_charset UTF-8
This example would change your charset to UTF -8.
5. How can I get the "Index of " view have to configure / Kill?
You can configure the appearance of the Directory Listings itself , this is only a few lines in. Htaccess file needed:
AddDescription "HTML-Datei, anzeigbar" .htm .html AddDescription "GIF-Grafik, anzeigbar" .gif AddDescription "JPEG-Grafik, anzeigbar" .jpg AddDescription "PHP-Script, anzeigbar" .php AddIcon /admin/filephp.jpg php AddIcon /admin/filegif.jpg gif AddIcon /admin/filehtml.jpg html htm AddIcon /admin/folder.jpg ^^DIRECTORY^^ AddIcon /admin/unknown.jpg ^^BLANKICON^^ IndexOptions IconHeight=22 IconWidth=20
It turns out the "Index of " view by writing in the . Htaccess file:
Options -Indexes
You can set the page as follows:
DirectoryIndex eigene-startseite.php index.php index.html index.htm
4. troubleshooting
1. How do I make a correct UTF -8 representation of a dynamsichen website?
- All files must be saved with an appropriate editor in UTF- 8 encoding without BOM ( byte order mark )
- here at Kilu set the default document character encoding either by . htaccess or php header to UTF -8
Inhalt .htaccess
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
or at the top of every php page
header("content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8");
for the database query is best to created before any other query in a global file your included the following queries
$set = mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'"); $set = mysql_query("SET CHARACTER SET 'utf8'");
any externally embedded css file has to get to the top of the following additional
@charset "utf-8";
or must be involved
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" title="" href="style.css" media="screen,projection" charset="utf-8" />
external javascripts are integrated as follows UTF -8 compliant
<script type="text/javascript" src="funktion.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
the following meta tag must be present at last in each side
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
Be used on a web form , and this according to UTF -8 Konforrm must be created.
The opening form tag should then look like this
<form accept-charset="utf-8" method="post" action="...
The most important thing however is that the files themselves are actually stored as UTF -8.
This is essentially true for normal static HTML pages, which are to be UTF -8 encoded shown , the MySQL part can be omitted here.
To control then you can in the browser View-> Encoding see that you have done everything correctly , then there must be something like this: Unicode ( UTF -8).
2. Why do I get error messages on my website , although it works fine with xy?
On the servers of Kilu.de the (currently) latest version is running php 5.3.
In particular, older Web applications are not (yet) fully compatible with it and use some deprecated functions.
Therefore, you should first try to get the manufacturer to date , php 5.3 compatible version of the application.
Sometimes it helps to take a look at the support section of the manufacturer.
3. Although I have loaded all the data via FTP to the server. Why is it still not visible?
The files for the site must all lie in the www directory.
4. Can I change the memory limit?
You have a problem with a script that takes too much memory ? Unfortunately, we can not increase the memory limit , as this would be borne by all users.
5. What is the download bandwidth limit?
The following restriction on our servers for downloading files via HTTP is
- to 1 Mb full speed
- from 1-3 Mb limited to 64 Kb / s
- from 3 Mb considerably less than 64 Kb / s
Properly prepared for the speed homepages completely sufficient web space for something else is not intended here.
6. Can I make a web space from a forwarding?
It is not possible from a forwarding a web space or, conversely, to make a web space , a forwarding.
If this is still intended , you should set up a new domain and upload the data from the old domain there.
7. My domain is not registerable?
You have a project can not be removed and re-register your domain? : Removing Subdomains
8. My project or my domain has been locked?
You have a project can not be removed and re-register your domain? : Terms .
9. Can I create SubSubdomains?
It can be used one more level subdomains below your subdomain. This you can then open with www.
Is therefore allowed:
fertig.haus.kilu.de baum.haus.kilu.de www.baum.haus.kilu.de
What would not work:

For locks that can cancel out a dialog to unlock appears when logging in to the user area . Follow the instructions.
4. Deleted by the user
When this lock is set?
If the user one of its subdomains , or domains bridged his projects deletes , or if he makes an application to delete his user account.
Why is this set?
The lock itself is caused by an action of the user. It is necessary to prevent abuse in many ways.
When the lock is released?
The lock is released after 14 days and then a new registration is possible.
5. The user has violated the Terms and Conditions
When this lock is set?
Once the user consciously or unconsciously against the Terms and Conditions violates.
The more severe the violation , the more extensive the lock.
It may be that only the project (eg if the user uses scripts that excessively burden the server ) is blocked or the whole of the user is equal to disabled ( eg in cases of obvious false declarations ).

It does not matter whether the user use an adblocker , this is also included in the calculation of our.
What matters is that there are on the clean side html> and body> tags.
Another problem is when your pictures & files linked directly to other sites.
This means that only these and no advertising is called. One possibility is that your always refers to an HTML page.
And to play it safe , you can a . create htaccess file with the following content:
RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?domain\.de(/.*)?$ [NC] RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|png)$ - [F]
We need only the file extensions on your and your subdomains adjust.
8. The forwarding destination of the project is invalid
When this lock is set?
All redirects are checked daily for functionality.
Is a forwarding three times within seven days unreachable, or the web server of the target page does not answer correctly , the project is disabled.
Incorrect answer means the server responds with one of the following HTTP statuses:
301 302 303 305 306 400 403 404 405 406 407 408 409 410 411 412 413 414 415 416 417 418 422 423 424 425 500 501 502 504 505 506 507 508 510

Hey guys, sorry if I put this in the wrong thread index; this seemed like the best option.
Anyway, I am an engineering student with a Fujitsu Lifebook T900 tablet laptop hybrid. The full spec sheet can be found here: http://solutions.us.fujitsu.com/pdf/...-datasheet.pdf
My specs are: Intel i7-620 2.66gHz, with integrated graphics :/, 4gb of RAM, Windows 7 64bit, etc. It also has the Wacom Penabled Dual Digitizer tablet functions.
I want to hackintosh it over the summer, but is this a viable alternative to Windows 7. Obviously OSX is preferable (I have an iMac desktop that I use over the laptop as much as I can), but if I wanted to maintain tablet functionality for things like notetaking and art apps like ArtRage and Adobe CS, would I be better off sticking with Windows?. Iv been working on thumb-driving a distro of Ubuntu Netbook Remix and Ill see how that goes, but I'm much more comfortable with mac.
Any ideas?

I am 31, and have been to 20 skynyrd concerts in the michigan/ohio area. I will say last year @ DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, MI on 4th of July left much to be desired. Bands have until 11pm to play, they were done and off stage by 10:20... i could not believe it when i heard freebird start, not to mention they had no video screens, no stage setup. Just a "world tour" banner. I know allot of fans by me were not happy with the performance, myself included, you could hear the rumblings from people as we left the show. Even my wife, who has been to 5 shows with me leaned over and said "is that it?" with a confused look on her face as freebird was wrapping up...And how do you play on the 4th of July and not play Red, White and Blue? I hope when they return to MI they put in a bit more effort. Dont get me wrong, i love the music and have been to at least 1+ shows a year since 1997 but i left feeling like i got jipped out of my money. 'Cause lets be honest, ticket prices have sky rocketed.

In 1977, Tyrand Parish was outgrowing its quarters at the old Carnation Milk Plant and construction was started on a new facility on the grounds retained from the sale of its earlier farm in Mill Creek. The Rev. Thomas Malcolm became the fifth director in June of 1982, and around that time, Tyrand was able to move into its new but uncompleted building where construction work and services to the less fortunate resumed with new vigor and dedication.
Late in 1983, two new ministries were in the works for the mission. The first was the Emergency Food Pantry. The original pantry was housed in a metal building on the grounds until the new building's second floor could be completed. Donald Swecker, a faithful volunteer, stayed many nights keeping fire in the wood and coal stove making sure the food did not freeze.
On Feb. 28, 1984, the name of the ministry took on a new meaning with the incorporation of Tyrand, under West Virginia code, as Tyrand Cooperative Ministries Inc., a nonprofit organization. On Aug. 25, 1985, Resident Bishop Grove of the West Virginia Annual Conference led us with dignitaries of the other Communions currently working with Tyrand, in the service of dedication for the new service center. The event was the culmination of more than 23 years of faith, action and love on the part of many people - past and present. People who voluntarily and unselfishly gave of their time, talents and financial resources in support of Tyrand.

The sign marking the entrance to Tyrand Cooperative Ministries Inc. is shown. The ministry was started in 1977 and was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 1984.
Four women, all members of Fincham Chapel Church on the Mill Creek United Methodist Charge, were selected as the Volunteers of the Year during the annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner sponsored by the Tyrand Cooperative Ministries.
Malcolm introduced the honored volunteers during the dinner at the Catholic Rural Life Retreat Center in Huttonsville. Following the dinner, Malcolm told the audience that in 1983 more than 11,052 hours were given by volunteers. These hours were divided among the various projects of the mission work.
Volunteers have always been a vital part of the ministry, and the group is very mindful of the volunteers that help make the ministry successful. The organizers are very mindful of the wonderful volunteers that help make the programs a success. The volunteers are already working on a celebration of 50 years that will take place Aug. 25. It is going to be a day filled with gospel singing, crafts, homemade baked items, a balloon launch, soap making, homemade apple butter, a ham and bean dinner and more. Tyrand encourages individuals to mark their calendars to join in the celebration.

Mobile app aims to grow business in Va
Eds: APNewsNow.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginia economic development officials have launched a mobile app to help bring business to the state.
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership says the "YesVA" app is a new, innovative tool aimed at bringing jobs and investments to Virginia.
The app allows economic developers, clients and consultants to perform site and building searches, and compare Virginia to other states from a mobile device.
It also allows users to view profiles of Virginia communities, regions and metropolitan areas, as well as learn about recent industry announcements in those communities. Users also can use the app to communicate directly with state economic development officials.
The app is available for the iPhone, iPad and Android devices.

Space Management Policy
|Document Number
|Date Last Amended
|21 February 2012
The University currently has over 70 major buildings encompassing some 6,500 rooms and a useable floor area of over 148,000 square metres. The estimated capital replacement value of these assets is in excess of $390M.
The devising of a policy for efficient space management is of obvious importance, and the matter of effective use of presently available space is critical. The Policy Guidelines contained in this document were originally developed in 1991 and are the outcome of detailed discussions which had as the objective the optimising of the use of University space. In formulating the Guidelines, it has been taken as given that, in the University context, "efficiency" must be defined by reference to the needs of scholars, research workers, professional staff and students seen both as individuals and as members of communities - Faculties, Schools, Divisions, Sections, Units and so on. In particular, the importance of giving a physical dimension to the identity of disciplines is recognised. As against this, it has to be accepted that pressures upon space will for some time necessitate compromise in space allocation.
The Deputy Vice-Chancellor has the responsibility of advising the Vice-Chancellor on the good management of space in the University as a whole, on space allocation and on the arbitration of disputes regarding space. Where particular Faculties or Divisions totally occupy a building or group of buildings, delegated authority to take responsible decisions for this area will be vested in Directors and/or Pro Vice Chancellor's. The Executive Director Facilities Management will have responsibility for buildings shared by Faculties or Divisions, for the allocation of offices and rooms and for the arbitration of disputes.
Space allocations are determined directly on assessment of needs. The University's Capital Management Plan aims to ensure that reasonable space required for teaching, research and academic and administrative support is available as required and is of good functional quality.
In regard to teaching space, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor will expect co-operation from Faculties and Schools in utilising all available hours and days of the week to enable optimal use of teaching space, including those teaching spaces available in Faculties and Schools. It is recognised that there are certain cases in which it is necessary to have specialised teaching space: however, this does not necessarily imply exclusive use of particular spaces.
It has also become necessary to introduce some 8.00 am teaching start times in order to break up the peak 9.00 am flow of traffic onto the campus and to help alleviate parking congestion.
Timetable information and frequency-of-use data will be used by the University to assist in developing timetable guidelines to which all 'managers' of teaching, research, laboratory and studio areas will be expected to adhere.
The University uses Space Management software (UNSM) to maintain a detailed inventory of space to quantify space for analysis and to determine indicative space needs.
Space Inventory
The Space Inventory Module (UNSM) lists all buildings and rooms on both campuses and identifies various attributes of these spaces, including size in square metres, capital replacement values, condition, room type and room functions etc together with details of the faculty/school/division/service group to which it is allocated, and where appropriate, name of occupant.
The various reports available from UNSM are available to Pro Vice Chancellor's and others as required.
Space Planning - Indicative Space Module
A second UNSM module is the Indicative Space Module (UNISM). The UNISM is a management tool which was originally developed in conjunction with other universities to assist with matters of space planning and allocation. The model has been accepted by AAPPA as an Australian standard in space management guidelines.
The UNISM is predicated on the following principles:
Different disciplines will require different amounts of space
Different categories of staff will require different amounts of space
Students at different levels will require different amounts of space.
Disciplines are grouped into a limited number of Space Indicator Groups (SIG) for the purposes of the module, with each SIG having associated with it a weighting factor referred to as Higher Education Space Indicators (HESI), expressed in square metres.
The UNISM enables a standard indicative space envelope to be determined for each academic organisation unit (AOU), based upon each AOU staff and student categories and numbers, and disciplines.
UNSM as a Management Tool
It is intended that the Indicative Space Module of UNSM be used as one element of the decision making processes in relation to new capital building proposals, reconfiguration/ refurbishment of existing buildings and allocation of space across faculties/schools and other University activities.
The consideration of all space requirements expressed by faculties/schools will include an analysis of actual space allocation compared to indicative space calculation. Where differences exist, these differences will be subject to detailed analysis to determine underlying reasons for the differences. Decisions in relation to space allocations will, however, always be based upon demonstrated essential need.
As far as the UNISM is concerned, it has been upgraded over time to ensure Y2K compliance and is now undergoing refinement to make it more specific to the University of Newcastle.
In sum, the Policy Guidelines which follow are intended to provide a basis for the good management of space in the best interests of members of the University as a whole and the co-operation by all involved is requested.
1. Principles
1.1. It is taken as a premise that no Faculty, School, Division or individual person has absolute control over any building, room or area within the University. Responsibility remains with the University through the Deputy Vice-Chancellor's advice to the Vice-Chancellor.
1.2. Allocation of space, not currently occupied by a Faculty, School or other recognised Unit, will be the subject of approval by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor who will also have the capacity to negotiate changing accommodation use as required in the light of new academic and other developments and changing existing needs.
1.3. Requests for the allocation of space and the redesignation of type or function of existing space will be subject to the approval by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor.
2. Office Accommodation for Academic Staff
2.1. The University is committed to the provision of office space for all full-time and fractional academic staff. Where possible this will be in single offices, but it may be necessary for staff to share. 'Shared offices' may include shared access to desk space and office equipment.
2.2. Part-time academic staff will not normally be provided with private office space but will have access to shared office accommodation.
2.3. General purpose teaching space will generally not be available for conversion to office space or other special purpose use.
2.4. Staff common room space will be provided where possible.
A basic standard of office furniture and fittings will apply and will be provided as part of a new building if funds permit. Any departure from the standard appropriate to an office would be agreed to only if a specific need can be established. In such cases, and for the provision of extra furniture, the Faculty/School/Division will be responsible for funding.
Requests for the provision of office or teaching furniture are to be initially submitted through Facilities Management. This is to ensure that a standard of furniture is provided of suitable quality that can be maintained and purchased for the best possible price.
3. Academic Offices
Private office accommodation will be provided if possible for the following:
Pro Vice Chancellors, Heads of Schools, Professors, Associate Professors/Principal Lecturers, Senior Lecturers, Academic staff with special duties or needs will be given some priority in cases which the Deputy Vice-Chancellor considers appropriate.
Upon appointment as Head of School for a fixed term, a member of staff may move into the office designated as the 'Head of School' office; his/her previous office would then be vacated and available for re-allocation, for the period concerned.
3.2. Upon retirement or transfer from a 'Head of School' position, the 'Head of School' office would be vacated.
3.3. It is the aim to provide private office accommodation for all Lecturers, but it may be necessary for Lecturers to share an office from time to time.
3.4. Associate Lecturers will normally have shared office accommodation, except in those cases where an Associate Lecturer has a special need by virtue of duties and responsibilities.
3.5. Research students will have access to appropriate space, including, where available, office accommodation. Where office space is available and is provided, it will normally be on a shared basis, except where a case for private office space can be established. All such cases will be restricted to the term of the student occupier and will be reviewed on a regular basis.
3.6. An office may be retained for up to twelve months when a staff member is absent on approved leave. However, such an office may be reallocated on a temporary basis. It is proposed that Heads of School would be consulted in such cases and members of staff intending to be absent for a prolonged period are encouraged to take steps to facilitate the temporary use of an office prior to their departure.
3.7. It is intended that remaining areas in the Hunter Building, Academic Office Block and Portables will, in due course, be assigned to particular Faculties and Departments in conformity with the overall approach to space allocation.
3.8. The exchange of offices by agreement between members of staff is not permissible. Such requests must be referred to the Facilities Management (Space Management) for approval.
4. Grouping of Areas
4.1. Academic areas will be allocated to Faculties and Schools where appropriate and possible. Such allocation will be subject to renegotiation if and as necessary.
4.2. The utilisation of such areas will be supervised by the Pro Vice Chancellor.
4.3. Responsibility for the day-to-day management and utilisation of all building space on the campus will rest with the relevant Pro Vice Chancellor of the faculty as appropriate and with the Executive Director, Facilities Management.
5. Utilisation of Resources
5.1. In pursuance of the University's commitment to achieving maximum utilisation of space, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor may reallocate space. Such reallocation will be after negotiation with relevant persons and every effort will be made to minimise interference with academic work. In any case, a minimum of 30 days advice will be given to the occupier save in an emergency situation.
6. Negotiations for Space
6.1. Pro Vice Chancellors are encouraged to negotiate with each other to achieve solutions to accommodation problems. However, final approval for any change must be referred to the Facilities Management (Space Management) who will refer the matter to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor when appropriate.
6.2. The Manager, Space and Facilities will be pleased to assist in matters relating to space management. Consultation is advised at an early stage in any proposed change of use.
7. Management of Mixed Areas
7.1. Where it is not appropriate to assign the responsibility for the supervision of a particular area to any one Faculty or other group, the supervision of that space will be exercised by the Executive Director, Facilities Management. Areas currently in this category include parts of the Hunter Building, the Academic Office Block, The Station Portables adjacent to the Hunter Building, the McMullin Building , the Computing and Information Sciences Building and the David Maddison Building.
8. Appointment of New Staff
8.1. Accommodation for all new staff must be approved prior to the commencement of recruitment action. Details of the proposed office must be included on the recruitment requisition form. This should be the subject of discussion with Pro Vice Chancellors and/or other persons as necessary.
8.2. The Human Resource Service is not authorised to commence recruitment unless 8.1 has been complied with.
9. Safety/Security
9.1. It is the responsibility of the occupant of an office to:
(a) ensure all windows/doors are secure and all power appliances are turned off at completion of each business day;
(b) know the location and be capable of operating safety equipment provided in or near the area;
(c) know the alternative routes for evacuating the area in an emergency.
9.2. Academic and Professional Staff making use of areas at particular times (eg Lecture Theatres, Laboratories) are requested to follow the guidelines in 9.1 as appropriate
10. Management of Energy
It is the responsibility of the occupant of an office to ensure that lighting and heating is turned off when vacating the office.
Academic and Professional Staff making use of areas at particular times (eg Lecture Theatres, Laboratories) are requested to follow the guidelines in 10.1 as appropriate.
