What You Will Learn
Geographically dispersed data centers provide added application resiliency and workload allocation flexibility. To this end, the network must provide Layer 2, Layer 3 and storage connectivity between data centers. Connectivity must be provided without compromising the autonomy of data centers or the stability of the overall network.
This document summarizes the attributes of the Cisco® Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV) technology and the way it provides Layer 2 connectivity across data centers that:
● Is nondisruptive (transparent to the core and sites)
● Is transport agnostic
● Is multihomed and multipathed
● Preserves failure isolation between data centers
Technology decision makers, IT managers, and network architects will find this document useful.
Businesses face the challenge of providing very high availability for applications while keeping operating expenses low. Applications must be available any time and anywhere with optimal response times.
The deployment of geographically dispersed data centers allows the IT designer to put in place effective disaster-avoidance and disaster-recovery mechanisms that increase the availability of the applications. Geographic dispersion also enables optimization of application response through improved facility placement and allows flexible mobility of workloads across data centers to avoid demand hotspots and fully utilize available capacity.
To enable all the benefits of geographically dispersed data centers, the network must extend Layer 2 connectivity across the diverse locations. As shown in Figure 1, LAN extensions may be required at different layers in the data center to enable the resiliency and clustering mechanisms offered by the different applications at the web, application, and database layers. The figure also shows the Layer 3 and storage connectivity requirements; this document focuses on the Layer 2 connectivity requirements.
Existing mechanisms for the extension of Layer 2 connectivity are less than optimal in addressing connectivity and independence requirements and present many challenges and limitations that OTV effectively overcomes. Some of the challenges include:
● Fate sharing: The extension of Layer 2 domains across multiple data centers can cause the data centers to share failures that would normally have been isolated when interconnecting data centers over an IP network. These failures propagate freely over the open Layer 2 flood domain. A solution that provides Layer 2 connectivity yet restricts the reach of the flood domain is needed to contain failures and preserve the resiliency achieved through the use of multiple data centers.
● Complex operations: Layer 2 VPNs can provide extended Layer 2 connectivity across data centers, but will usually involve a mix of complex protocols, distributed provisioning, and an operationally intensive hierarchical scaling model. A simple overlay protocol with built-in capabilities and point-to-cloud provisioning is crucial to reducing the cost of providing this connectivity.
● Bandwidth utilization: When extending Layer 2 domains across data centers, the use of available bandwidth between data centers must be optimized to obtain the highest connectivity at the lowest cost. Balancing the load across all available paths while providing resilient connectivity between the data center and the transport network requires added intelligence above and beyond that available in traditional Ethernet switching and Layer 2 VPNs.
● Transport independence: The nature of the transport between data centers varies depending on the location of the data centers and the availability and cost of services in the different areas. A cost-effective solution for the interconnection of data centers must be transport agnostic and give the network designer the flexibility to choose any transport between data centers based on business and operational preferences.
Business Benefits
OTV provides an operationally optimized solution for the extension of Layer 2 connectivity across any transport. OTV is therefore critical to the effective deployment of distributed data centers to support application availability and flexible workload mobility.
OTV enhances the data center high-availability model and brings the data center closer to 99.999 percent high availability. The Layer 2 connectivity provided by OTV coupled with the scoping of failure domains enables nondisruptive cluster-based disaster-recovery schemes as well as stateful workload mobility instrumental in providing transparent disaster avoidance. The capability to move workloads transparently also allows the insertion of maintenance and change management processes that do not require any downtime. The average cost of downtime in the data center has been estimated at US$42,000 per hour of downtime. The average downtime per year has been estimated at 87 hours per year, which is equivalent to 99.0 percent availability and an average yearly cost of US$3.65 million. Reducing downtime by providing effective mechanisms for disaster handling as well as transparent change management can bring data center availability from 99.0 to 99.999 percent. This means that the yearly downtime of the data center can be decreased from 87 hours to 5 minutes, providing savings of US$3.65 million per year to the average operation.
Depending on the nature of the business, the cost of downtime may be much higher. For instance, some well-known online merchant services handle an average of US$2000 per second in merchant transactions, which translates to a cost of downtime of US$7.2 million per hour. Clearly, anything less than 99.999 percent availability is not acceptable for such businesses, which will incur a loss of approximately US$600,000 per year at 99.999 percent availability compared to US$626.4 million per year at 99.0 percent availability.
Whether the cost of downtime to the business is within the average or at the extreme end described in the preceding example, the return on investment (ROI) for high-availability optimizations in the data center is very attractive. For instance, consider an average data center with two sites and for which the network infrastructure has been upgraded to provide OTV services at a cost of US$1 million. The ROI based on the standard ROI formula would be 2.65. In the extreme case, the same US $1 million would yield a ROI of 625.4.
Although the ROI based on downtime data may be attractive enough to justify the investment in OTV, there are other business benefits to the transparent extension of LANs across geographic locations that make the ROI look even better. One such benefit is the capability to optimally balance the load across available resources over multiple data centers. This level of flexibility allows the provisioning of smaller consolidated data centers and the optimization of power and cooling resource utilization by avoiding the formation of processing or temperature hotspots. An intelligent reallocation of the workload can translate into considerable savings in power and cooling costs.
Other benefits are harder to quantify: for instance, the productivity (and sometimes competitive) gains achieved by reducing the response time of critical applications. The geographic dispersion of data centers can reduce application response time simply through the physical proximity of the servicing data center.
OTV is a "MAC address in IP" technique for supporting Layer 2 VPNs to extend LANs over any transport. The transport can be Layer 2 based, Layer 3 based, IP switched, label switched, or anything else as long as it can carry IP packets. By using the principles of MAC routing, OTV provides an overlay that enables Layer 2 connectivity between separate Layer 2 domains while keeping these domains independent and preserving the fault-isolation, resiliency, and load-balancing benefits of an IP-based interconnection.
The core principles on which OTV operates are the use of a control protocol to advertise MAC address reachability information (instead of using data plane learning) and packet switching of IP encapsulated Layer 2 traffic (instead of using circuit switching) for data forwarding. These features are a significant departure from the core mechanics of traditional Layer 2 VPNs. In traditional Layer 2 VPNs, a static mesh of circuits is maintained among all devices in the VPN to enable flooding of traffic and source-based learning of MAC addresses. This full mesh of circuits is an unrestricted flood domain on which all traffic is forwarded. Maintaining this full mesh of circuits severely limits the scalability of existing Layer 2 VPN approaches. At the same time, the lack of a control plane limits the extensibility of current Layer 2 VPN solutions to properly address the requirements for extending LANs across data centers.
OTV uses a control protocol to map MAC address destinations to IP next hops that are reachable through the network core. OTV can be thought of as MAC routing in which the destination is a MAC address, the next hop is an IP address, and traffic is encapsulated in IP so it can simply be carried to its MAC routing next hop over the core IP network. Thus a flow between source and destination host MAC addresses is translated in the overlay into an IP flow between the source and destination IP addresses of the relevant edge devices. This process is called encapsulation rather than tunneling as the encapsulation is imposed dynamically and tunnels are not maintained. Since traffic is IP forwarded, OTV is as efficient as the core IP network and will deliver optimal traffic load balancing, multicast traffic replication, and fast failover just like the core would. Figure 2 illustrates this dynamic encapsulation mechanism.
The mappings of the MAC address to the IP next hop in the forwarding table illustrated in Figure 2 are advertised by a control protocol, thus eliminating the need for flooding of unknown unicast traffic across the overlay. The control protocol is extensible and includes useful MAC-address-specific information such as VLAN, site ID, and associated IP address (for IP hosts). This rich information, most of which is not available when you rely on data flood learning, is instrumental in building into OTV the necessary intelligence to implement multihoming, load balance, prevent loops, localize First Hop Resiliency Protocol (FHRP) capability, and even localize Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) traffic without creating additional operational overhead for each function.
Thus, OTV can be used to provide connectivity based on MAC-address destinations while preserving most of the characteristics of a Layer 3 interconnection. Some of the main benefits achieved with OTV include:
● No effect on existing network design
◦ Transport agnostic: OTV is IP encapsulated and can therefore use any core capable of forwarding IP traffic. OTV therefore does not pose any requirements on the core transport.
◦ Transparent to the sites: OTV extensions do not affect the design or protocols of the Layer 2 sites that OTV interconnects. It is as transparent as a router connection to the Layer 2 domain and therefore does not affect the local spanning tree or topology.
● Failure isolation and site independence
◦ Failure boundary preservation and site independence preservation: OTV does not rely on traffic flooding to propagate reachability information for MAC addresses. Instead, a control protocol is used to distribute such information. Thus, flooding of unknown traffic is suppressed on the OTV overlay; ARP traffic is forwarded only in a controlled manner, and broadcasts can be forwarded based on specific policies. Spanning tree Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) are not forwarded at all on the overlay. The result is failure containment comparable to that achieved using a Layer 3 boundary at the Layer 2 domain edge. Sites remain independent of each other, and failures do not propagate beyond the OTV edge device.
● Optimized operations
◦ Single-touch site additions and removals: OTV is an overlay solution that needs to be deployed only at specific edge devices. Edge devices join a signaling group in a point-to-cloud fashion. Therefore, the addition or removal of an edge device does not affect or involve configuration of other edge devices on the overlay.
◦ Familiar and succinct command-line interface (CLI): Configuring an OTV overlay is as simple as configuring an interface on a switch and requires very few steps (as few as three commands on each device).
◦ Single protocol with no add-ons: Before OTV, multihoming, loop prevention, load balancing, multipathing, etc. required the addition of protocols to solutions: for instance, virtual private LAN service (VPLS). With OTV, all capabilities are included in a single control protocol and single configuration.
● Optimal bandwidth utilization resiliency and scalability
◦ Multipathing (cross-sectional bandwidth and end-to-end Layer 2 multipathing): When multihoming sites, OTV provides the capability to actively use multiple paths over multiple edge devices. This feature is crucial to keeping all edge devices active and thus optimizing the use of available bandwidth. The capability to use multipathing is also critical to supporting end-to-end multipathing when the Layer 2 sites are using Layer 2 multipathing locally. OTV is the only Layer 2 extension protocol that can provide transparent multipathing integration when virtual PortChannel (vPC) or Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) technology is used at the Layer 2 sites being interconnected over an IP cloud. Since OTV is IP encapsulated, OTV also uses any multipathing available in the underlying IP core.
◦ Multipoint connectivity: OTV provides multipoint connectivity in an easy-to-manage point-to-cloud model. OTV uses the IP Multicast capabilities of the core to provide optimal multicast traffic replication to multiple sites and avoid head-end replication that leads to suboptimal bandwidth utilization.
◦ Transparent multihoming with built-in loop prevention: Multihoming does not require additional configuration because it is built into OTV along with all the necessary loop detection and suppression mechanisms. The loop prevention mechanisms in OTV prevent loops from forming on the overlay, and also prevent loops from being induced by sites when these are multihomed to the overlay. In the past, it was necessary to use complex extensions of spanning tree over Layer 2 VPNs or reduce the multihoming of the VPN to an active-standby model. With OTV, all edge devices are active while loops are prevented inherently in the protocol.
◦ Fast failover: Since OTV uses a control protocol based on an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), OTV benefits from the fast failover characteristics of equal-cost multipath (ECMP). Additionally, OTV can use bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) extensions to provide failover between edge devices in less than 1 second.
● Scalability
◦ Optimized and distributed state: OTV does not create nailed up tunnels; the only state maintained is that of a MAC-address routing table. As in any packet-switched model, no hard state is maintained, and therefore scalability is much better than that achieved in circuit-switched models. State is distributed and can be programmed in the hardware conditionally to allow larger numbers of MAC addresses to be handled by the overlay.
◦ Flexibility: The level of scalability possible with OTV is designed to allow the network architect to deploy OTV capabilities at the data center aggregation layer if necessary. Deployment of circuit-switched solutions at the aggregation layer can be prevented by the scalability limitations of the solutions because the number of aggregation devices is usually much greater than the number of endpoints that a circuit-switched solution can support with its full mesh of circuits. Having the flexibility to deploy the required LAN extensions at any layer can significantly improve the operational model of the data center.
◦ Reduced effect of ARP traffic: Scalability is improved by the capability of the OTV control plane to localize ARP traffic and therefore reduce the effect of ARP traffic on all hosts present on the extended LAN.
● Transparent migration path
◦ Incremental deployment: Since OTV is agnostic to the core and transparent to the sites, it can be incrementally deployed over any existing topology without altering its network design. When vPC is being used as a data center interconnect (DCI) and there is a desire to migrate to OTV, OTV can simply be deployed over the existing vPC interconnect to bring the benefits of failure containment and improved scale. Alternatively, OTV can use the main IP core between data centers as its transport, and the vPC interconnect can be taken out of service later. In the latter scenario, VLANs can be migrated in phases from the vPC interconnect to the OTV overlay.
Why Cisco?
With OTV, Cisco is again bringing innovation and leading the industry with the introduction of next-generation technology that shapes the standards of the future. OTV is the result of years of experience at Cisco in interconnecting data centers and providing Layer 2 and 3 technologies. Cisco has developed a solution that is custom built to meet the data center challenges and is aligned with the broader set of data center innovations that will be changing data center networking in the next few years. OTV is aligned with technologies like Layer 2 multipathing and TRILL to provide elastic and resilient Layer 2 domains and a coherent and well-designed feature set that supports the data center of the future. Rather than retrofitting technologies designed for carrier applications, OTV focuses on the main operational challenges and required efficiencies in the data center to provide a lean and comprehensive solution to the LAN extension challenge experienced in the data center.

Plea from a senior citizen
Letter to the editor -
Sir, I am a senior citizen.
During the Clinton Administration I had an extremely good and well
paying job. I took numerous vacations and had several vacation homes.
Since President Bush took office, I have watched my entire life
change for the worse. I lost my job. I lost my two sons in that
terrible Iraqi War. I lost my homes. I lost my health insurance. As
a matter of fact I lost virtually everything and became homeless.
Adding insult to injury, when the authorities found me living like an
animal, instead of helping me, they arrested me.
At least now I do live rent-free but find it impossible to go shopping
for clothes, cars and other necessities of daily life.
I will do anything that Senator Kerry wants to insure that a Democrat
is back in the White House come next year. Perhaps you'd be kind
enough to pass on my feelings to the Senator's staff when you next
meet any of them. Bush has to go!
I just thought you and your readers would like to know how one senior
citizen views the Bush Administration.
Thank you for taking time to read my letter.
Saddam Hussein

"We can all see that growth is slowing," Bush said in a blunt acknowledgment of rising food and gas prices, increasing unemployment and turmoil in the housing and financial markets.
"We have unfinished business before us, and the American people expect us to get it done," Bush declared. It was his final State of the Union address and he faced a hostile, Democratic-led Congress eager for the end of his term next January.
With his approval rating near its all-time low, Bush lacked the political clout to push bold ideas and he didn't try. He called on lawmakers to urgently approve a $150 billion plan - worked out with House leaders - to stave off recession through tax rebates for families and incentives for businesses to invest in new plants and equipment.
"The actions of the 110th Congress will affect the security and prosperity of our nation long after this session has ended," the president said.
Senate Democrats want to expand the economic rescue plan with rebates for senior citizens living off Social Security and extensions of unemployment benefits for the jobless. Bush said those changes "would delay it or derail it and neither option is acceptable."
He also pushed Congress to extend his tax cuts, which are to expire in 2010, and said allowing them to lapse would mean higher tax bills for 116 million American taxpayers. For those who say they're willing to pay more, Bush said, "I welcome their enthusiasm, and I am pleased to report that the IRS accepts both checks and money orders."
Before speaking, Bush turned to shake hands with a smiling House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Dick Cheney, seated behind him. Bush's wife, Laura, and their twin daughters, Barbara and Jenna, sat in a VIP box.
Since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the war has been a main topic of Bush's annual addresses to Congress. He said Monday night the buildup of 30,000 U.S. troops and an increase in Iraqi forces "have achieved results few of us could have imagined just one year ago."
"Some may deny the surge is working," Bush said, "but among the terrorists there is no doubt. Al-Qaida is on the run in Iraq and this enemy will be defeated."
Bush made no commitment about withdrawing additional troops from Iraq, and he said Gen. David Patraeus, the top U.S. general there, has warned that pulling Americans out too quickly could undermine Iraqi forces, allow al-Qaida to regroup and trigger an increase in violence.
"Members of Congress: Having come so far and achieved so much, we must not allow this to happen," the president said.
Bush said U.S. adversaries in Iraq have been hit hard, though "they are not yet defeated and we can still expect tough fighting ahead."
There are 158,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, a number that is expected to drop to 135,000 by July. There are 28,000 in Afghanistan, the highest number of the war, which began there in October 2001. Congress, despite repeated attempts, has been unable to force troop withdrawals or deadlines for pullbacks, and Iraq has receded as an issue in Washington.
Aides had said Bush would not use the address as a summation of his time in office. But he did, turning to the phrase "over the past seven years" when talking about some of the most-prized efforts of his administration: tax relief, federal involvement with religious charities, the global freedom agenda and increased funding for veterans.
The rhetorical device that held the speech together was trust in people - taxpayers, homeowners, medical researchers, doctors and patients, students, workers, energy entrepreneurs and others - to drive their own success and that of the country. The unspoken message: Government isn't the answer.
"In all we do, we must trust in the ability of free people to make wise decisions, and empower them to improve their lives and their futures," Bush said.
A major challenge for Bush in his address was simply being heard when many Americans already are looking beyond him to the next president.
His speech came hours before Florida's presidential primary election and just eight days before Super Tuesday when voters in more than 20 states go to the polls on the biggest day of the primary campaign. Republicans running for president rarely mention Bush, preferring to focus on conservative hero Ronald Reagan instead.
Bush will turn from Monday's speech and plunge into politics, raising money for Republicans from Wednesday through Friday at events in California, Nevada, Colorado and Missouri, sandwiched around other appearances to tout themes from his speech.
As for the Democrats, presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton said, "Tonight is a red-letter night in American history. It is the last time George Bush will give the State of the Union. Next year it will be a Democratic president giving it."
Delivering the official Democratic response, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius urged Bush to work with Congress and help the U.S. regain global standing lost because of the war.
"The last five years have cost us dearly - in lives lost, in thousands of wounded warriors whose futures may never be the same, in challenges not met here at home because our resources were committed elsewhere," she said. "America's foreign policy has left us with fewer allies and more enemies."
Bush called for an effort to crack down on the pork barrel practices of Congress, saying he will veto any spending bill that does not cut in half the number and cost of congressional pet projects, known as earmarks.
The president planned to issue an executive order Tuesday ordering federal agencies to ignore earmarks that aren't explicitly enacted into law, erasing a common practice in which lawmakers' projects are outlined in nonbinding documents that accompany legislation. The move is aimed at making doubly sure that lawmakers have the opportunity to strike earmarks during floor debates.
However, Bush's plan leaves untouched the more than 11,700 earmarks totaling $16.9 billion that Congress approved last year.
He also said he would send Congress a budget that terminates or substantially reduces 151 "wasteful or bloated programs" totaling more than $18 billion.
He renewed a proposal to spend $300 million for a "grants for kids" program to help poor children in struggling public schools pay for the cost of attending a private school or a better public school outside their district.
On two issues that were centerpieces of State of the Union addresses past - Social Security and immigration - Bush passed the buck back to Congress, which had ignored the president's earlier proposals. Contending that entitlement spending is "growing faster than we can afford," he said, "I ask members of Congress to offer your proposals and come up with a bipartisan solution to save these vital programs for our children and grandchildren."
The president also:
* Announced a White House summit on inner-city children and religious schools.
* Said that his annual meeting with the leaders of Mexico and Canada will be held this year in New Orleans, to show off recovery efforts.
The president planned to issue an executive order Tuesday ordering federal agencies to ignore earmarks that aren't explicitly enacted into law, erasing a common practice in which lawmakers' projects are outlined in nonbinding documents that accompany legislation. However, Bush's plan leaves untouched the more than 11,700 earmarks totaling $16.9 billion that Congress approved last year.
He prodded Congress to extend a law allowing surveillance on suspected terrorists, renew his education law and approve free-trade pacts with Colombia, Panama and South Korea.
He also recycled ideas on alternative energy, affordable health care, housing reform and veterans' care. Bush also renewed his ideas on climate change and stem cell research.

The county and the Jackson County Airport Authority are in the midst of negotiating a solution. Neither is revealing much about the negotiations. Jackson County officials want the airport authority to deed the animal shelter back to the county.
But the five-member board of the airport authority is not eager to turn the animal shelter over without getting something out of the county in return. Options could range from leasing the shelter to the county for an annual fee or selling it back to the county for a one-time payment.
"There are different opinions of people on the board, and we have not come to a consensus yet," said Greg Hall, chairman of the airport authority.
The county has not made any financial contributions to the upkeep of the airport in several years, and the authority could use the animal shelter snafu as a bargaining tool. The airport authority has received $600,000 in grants from the Federal Aviation Administration over the past four years to fix up the airport. But the county, which had both a political and philosophical falling out with the airport authority, would not contribute the necessary matching funds to secure the grant.
The grant is still sitting there for the authority's taking, if it can pony up a requisite $66,000 in matching funds. That could be a starting place for what the airport authority wants in exchange for the animal shelter. The airport authority discussed options at its board meeting last week.
Hall said the airport authority values its relationship with the county — which finally seems on the mend after years of head-butting — and does not want to jeopardize that.
"Things are in such a delicate balance right now," Hall said.
A costly mistake?
The airport authority was the one to discover the 10-year-old blunder, and it approached the county with the news a few weeks ago.
"We checked into it and sure enough," said County Manager Ken Westmoreland. "How it happened nobody knows." Westmoreland was not with the county at the time.
He said the airport authority should simply deed the shelter back to the county.
"Our point is 'Yeah that may have happened, but it wasn't intentional,'" Westmoreland said.
Sylva Town Manager Jay Denton, who served a stint as county manager starting in December 1998, can testify to that. Although Denton did not come on board until after the transfer was complete, he followed it closely enough to know the animal shelter was not supposed to be on the table as part of the transaction.
"The intent never would have been to sign away the animal shelter," Denton said.
In fact, the deed states: "It is the purpose and intent of the grantor to convey the grantee all lands located ... and used in connection with the operation of the Jackson County Airport."
The county transferred the airport largely because it was such a headache — considered more of a liability than an asset. Tom Jones, now retired, was the attorney who handled the transaction for the county in 1998, according to the deed.
The animal shelter was built in the mid-1980s on the entrance road to the airport. Little has been done to it since then. It is small by most standards, with 15 holding pens for dogs and 15 for cats. Animals can be doubled up in cages only when they come in as a pair or as puppies or kittens of the same litter. The shelter sees roughly 1,000 animals a year, according to the shelter director.
Lawsuit snag
Bill Austin, a pilot in Jackson County who uses the airport, said he hopes the authority is able to find matching funds for the FAA grant before it's too late and it loses the money. The airport authority had three major projects planned for the money.
One is building a pilot's lounge. It's a place for pilots to go to the bathroom, check weather conditions on the computer and call in their flight plans. Another project on the wish list is a hangar for 16 planes. Less exciting but necessary is a new well. The current well water is often contaminated with mud, unfit to drink or even wash planes with, Austin said.
The plan for how to spend the money if and when the airport authority gets it has taken a drastic turn, however. The Jackson County Airport Authority is the target of a lawsuit by neighbors who live below the airport. The airport's hillside collapsed during massive rains and washed into the neighbors' property. The neighbors are seeking damages and want the airport to repair the collapsed hillside, which they say continues to pose a risk to their property. The lawsuit, depending on a financial award, could pose a deathblow to the airport — largely because the airport authority has no money to pay any court-ordered damages.
Repairing the collapsed hillside could take precedent over other projects if the airport authority ever comes into money, Hall said.
"Repair of the slide areas is my number one priority. That is my number one concern, to stabilize those slide areas," Hall said. "We really do want to be good neighbors."
The North Carolina Geological Survey made recommendations of how to stabilize the slope. Hall said the airport authority would like to implement those recommendations.
"We would look at that in conjunction with any improvements pursued at the airport," Hall said.
Jackson County was also named as a party in the lawsuit, but the county claims it is not responsible for the airport. The county claims the airport authority, a separate entity, has sole jurisdiction over the airport.
New era
In terms of providing funding for the airport — and allowing the airport to claim its $600,000 in FAA grant money — it is unclear what county commissioners plan to do. County Commissioner Chairman Brian McMahan said he doesn't want to see the airport go bankrupt.
"The board is interested in making sure we keep what we've got with the airport," McMahan said. "In the future I am not going to rule out the possibility that we will help them with matching funds for grants."
Several years ago, however, the county stopped making financial contributions to run and keep up the airport. Some commissioners questioned whether public funds should go toward an airport which is used by a relatively minute segment of the population that own private planes.
But there was also a major political falling out with the airport authority. Although the county had transferred the airport property to the authority, it still wanted a semblance of control over the facility's future. That meant control over the airport authority, or at least over who served on it. Commissioners appointed the members who served on the authority but were limited in their choices. When a seat was up for appointment, the airport authority gave commissioners two names to choose from. Commissioners had to chose one of those two names, according to the airport authority by-laws.
"The county's position was that that arrangement simply creates a self-perpetuating authority or board," Westmoreland said.
So Jackson County officials sought new state legislation in Raleigh that would alter the way appointments to the airport authority are made. The legislation passed this year. The county commissioners can now appoint whomever they want and are not limited to the airport authority's list.
McMahan said the county feels much more comfortable with that arrangement, which could open the door for funding to be restored, but conceded the airport in general has been a "nightmare" for county officials.

Action date
The Under-Secretary-General for Safety and Security introduced the agenda item by giving a comprehensive overview of the current global security environment in which UN personnel operate, marked by terrorism, armed conflict, criminality, and civil unrest. He highlighted the global or regional factors such as local, regional and national vulnerabilities including underlying ethnic, religious, sectarian or deteriorating socioeconomic conditions which are among the root causes of the current dynamic and complex security environment. While the dangers in the operating environment have increased, as demonstrated by the rise in attacks against United nations premises, and UN personnel are threatened in an increasing number of geographic areas the impact on personnel has been steadily reducing with less loss of life since 2011.
The USG presented the improved security practices in place across the UN Security Management System (UNSMS), such as safety and security training, increased use of armoured vehicles, enhanced physical security measures, security threat analysis, and the introduction of new policies which have contributed to improving the protection of UN personnel. He also highlighted the need for further interaction in a cross-functional manner with HR and other functions, the need for further integration of the security workforce of the Secretariat under UNDSS leadership, the importance of programme criticality reviews in high risk environments and the need for adequate resourcing of security-related functions in support of effective programme delivery.
Organizations welcomed the briefing and underlined their full support for measures to ensure safety and security of UN personnel. They inquired about suggestions to enforce security standards such as residential security measures, and about the support the UN is giving to victims and their families. The CCISUA representative was interested to learn about approaches with regard to evacuation of locally recruited staff. In its response, the USG highlighted the need to be pragmatic and involve national staff in contingency planning, and noted the ongoing work aimed at developing an internal UN tool to bring perpetrators of violent crimes against the UN to justice, and on duty of care in high risk environments.
The Co-Chair of the Working Group on Duty of Care in high risk environments presented a progress update. She highlighted that all five analysis reports from sub-working groups had been received, and that a consultant was consolidating key findings and lessons learnt from these case studies that will be further discussed in thematic working groups, in order to prevent any duplication of work. She stressed the need for a systematic and comprehensive response to the identified challenges, ranging from medical and psychosocial support for staff to addressing policy gaps and enhancing communication.
The HLCM Vice-Chair thanked both the USG DSS and the Co-Chair of the Working Group for their updates and concluded that a substantive discussion should be held at the next session upon the presentation of the full report of the Working Group.
The Committee:
Took note of progress made by UN Secretariat and CEB Secretariat in the establishment of working groups and initial progress made towards the design of a UN system data catalogue.
Asked the Working Groups to report back in spring 2016 session on the development of the first public release.

Planting Instructions
Pumpkin Planting info:
Plant your pumpkin seeds outside after all chance of frost has passed and the soil temperature is 65 F. Even though pumpkins need a lot of room to grow, we always plant more pumpkin seeds than we think we may need to increase the chance of each vine setting fruit. Plan on needing a minimum of 20 square feet for each plant – this can be found on the edge of the garden where the vines can trail down, or in an unconventional spot in your yard that has ample space.
The warmer the soil, the faster the seeds will germinate, so mound the soil to help the sun heat it faster. Plant 3-5 pumpkin seeds about 1 inch deep in each mound. Once they germinate, thin to 2 of the healthiest sprouts.
Pumpkins are 80-90% water, so they need a lot of it to grow. The secret is to only water pumpkins when they need it. If the plant looks healthy, there is no need to water daily. When the soil is dry and the plant looks limp, give it a long deep drink. Deep but infrequent watering results in a healthier plant.
Most pumpkin varieties take between 85-125 days to mature. If you would like to have pumpkins on October 1st, count backwards to decide when to plant.

My email inbox is swollen with resources and links and stuff to share, so I'm plunking it all down here before I forget. Yes, that's my system:
- I've been following Kelly Close's experience on the artificial pancreas with great interest, and you can, too, by checking out her Twitter feed. The photos and video are amazing.
There is so much more room in my head to think, with a bionic pancreas. #aptrial https://t.co/zRj6FuqPvj
— diaTribe (@diaTribeNews) May 30, 2013
- (And if you sign up to receive the diaTribe newsletter, you'll be eligible for a free ebook about Targeting a Cure. Details here!)
- Gorgeous post from Melissa at Sweetly-Voiced: "To people with diabetes, the word complication is code for "quietly life-shattering." It's a code word for failure."
- There's a new article in JDRF Countdown about What T1D Teaches, about the lessons we learn from diabetes. "What you learn overall, as a person with T1D or as a loved one who cares for someone with T1D, touches so many aspects of your life other than the food on your plate or the insulin in your syringe. Living with T1D, in any capacity, gives a perspective and insight that doesn't live within the box of T1D." which contributions from some lovely folks in the DOC, like Meri, Pete, Leeanne, Samantha, Kelley, Kate, and Sean. (And this is my favorite quote, possibly ever: "Screw this, I'm eating cake!")
- I can't unsee it.
- Californians debate over who can administer an insulin injection at school goes before the CA high courts. As someone who was in grade school before 504 plans came into play, I'm amazed at what it takes to manage the complexity of diabetes in today's school system.
- "But for crying out loud, if you throw me in a race with 1,000 other people and I'm clad in sunglasses and a hat and essentially draped in anonymity and more-or-less looking like everyone else about to make a run for it? I'll break out in hives, riddled with fear and panic." More about my fear of public exercising over at Animas.
- Non-diabetes related, and ripped from The Bloggess, but I had to share this comic because it scared the pants off me. It's safe for work, but might make you scream.
- Are you app-happy? (Or are you an apphole?) Talking about some of the apps that I actually use, over at The DX.
- I think what strikes me most about this video of a teddy bear surgery is the voice of the narrator. He seems to feel every bit of the pain of the teddy bear, and at the same time, he doesn't care in the slightest. Totally memorizing.
- 10,000 views equals out to $10,000 donation to the Diabetes Hands Foundation – can you help? Sharing the link is awesome, but watching it a few times on your own is even awesomer (<– mangled English), so get on that.
- "I think for me, the hardest thing about diabetes is that there are no days off." Short but poignant birthday post from my dear friend Karen.
I'm off to forever delete that animated .gif cartoon thing from my brain, because since I've watched it, I haven't slept. Or at least not properly.

Addiction and the Entertainment Industry: Breaking the Chains That Bind
On screens big and small, addiction as story plot is hot. Just this month, on the premiere of ABC's "The Conners," Roseanne Barr's character died of an accidental prescription overdose. The episode, with not one flinch, explored the issue of opioid dependency and misuse, a national crisis that is killing more than 115 people a day.
Meanwhile, the new Bradley Cooper/Lady Gaga remake of "A Star is Born" (which as of October 29, 2018, has raked in more than $253 million worldwide) details in heartbreaking fashion the massive toll booze and pills take on the career, relationships and life of Cooper's character.
Gaga is glorious, and Cooper ain't bad to look at, but does the movie get it right? Paul Pellinger, chief strategy officer for addiction treatment center Recovery Unplugged, hasn't seen the film yet but says he appreciates the way modern, more sensitive portrayals of those afflicted with alcohol and drug dependency are changing "the negative stigma that was attached to addiction. I like that people are now aware that an addict isn't somebody on the street with track marks and a brown paper bag and a red nose. Those are three percent of the addicts and alcoholics in this world — the other 97 percent are people like me and you. So, I would say that we've certainly come a long way when it comes to the perception of addiction."
While it remains to be seen whether the sympathetic spotlight the entertainment industry is shining on the issue of addiction will usher more people into treatment, those that make it through Recovery Unplugged's doors will find a center like no other. This is in no small part owing to the work of legendary singer-songwriter Richie Supa, who has helped Pellinger devise a program rooted in the power of music to, as Supa explains, "break down fences."
"If asked to name a song they love, 99.9 percent of the people on this planet can, right away," Supa continues. "Why? They identify with the melody or the lyrics or a combination of the two. So when you write songs about addiction, and you tell the truth, it draws in addicts and alcoholics and begins a dialogue. The healing begins when you can open them up and they start to share. A lot of people come into treatment broken, ashamed and angry. The last thing they want is someone shaking their finger at them saying, 'Now I want to tell you what you're doing to your life because you're drinking and doing cocaine.'"
It Takes One to Know One
Supa, Recovery Unlimited's director of creative recovery, ought to know. On October 18, he celebrated three decades clean, a significant achievement for any addict, let alone one with a storied career in rock-n-roll.
According to Supa, who co-wrote Aerosmith's "Amazing," a song about addiction, with his friend Steven Tyler, as well as songs recorded by Ozzy Osbourne, Pink and Willie Nelson, "There are a lot of drugs in the music industry, and I don't think anything is going to change anytime soon. I find it frustrating, but I was young once, too, and I was having fun... we all start doing drugs and having fun, and then drugs start doing you, and that's what happens."
Supa's role at Recovery Unplugged gives him the opportunity to lead two or three group sessions a week at the center's Fort Lauderdale location. Clients listen to music, sometimes analyzing songs about addiction and discussing how the lyrics relate to them, other times just dancing and singing with Supa and his band, joyfully connecting with each other through the glorious noise.
The success of "Feel Good Fridays," as the latter session has been dubbed, is just one reason Pellinger believes Supa "to be as good, if not better, than any clinician that I've ever known. He just has this magical way of connecting with clients through music. I think it was Steven Tyler who once told me that we were exposed to music in our mother's womb, through the heartbeat. So there's really no defenses against it."

"Who knew kibbeh could be grilled? This Turkish recipe is a healthy alternative to fried kibbeh torpedoes and is really delicious. These are easy to make – all of the ingredients are mixed together and formed into a torpedo shape. I like using a medium or coarse grain bulgur for a crunchy exterior. These are also excellent made with ground beef or lamb. Serve with pita bread, Israeli salad or fatoush, and lemon wedges. I love this as an appetizer for a holiday lunch! Perfect for your Thanksgiving menu! Lisa Ades"
Adapted from Food and Wine magazine
- 1 pound ground turkey (*see note below)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup medium or coarse grain bulgur, rinsed
- 1/2 med. onion, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper (flakes, not ground)
- lemons, cut into wedges
'How to' Create kibbeh
In a mixing bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, rinsed bulgur, onion, flour, salt, allspice, cumin and Aleppo pepper. Add ground turkey and mix well. Form the mixture into 1-by-3-inch "torpedoes".
Grill for 5 minutes over moderately high heat, turning frequently on all sides until they are golden brown and cooked through. You can also broil them.
Serve the turkey kebabs with pita bread warmed on the grill, salad and lemon wedges. Makes about 16. Serves 4.
* note: This is not great with all white meat turkey – it will be very dry.

Trial Date Set for Accused Boston Marathon Bomber
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev murder trial to start in early November.
Feb. 12, 2014 -- The trial for accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been set for Nov. 3 this year, a federal judge said today.
Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to 30 charges relating to the deadly dual bombing last April, an attack prosecutors say he carried out with his older brother, Tamerlan. Tamerlan was killed in a shootout with police days after the bombing.
Three people were killed, including an eight-year-old boy, and more than 260 were injured when twin explosions ripped through the crowds near the finish line of the Boston Marathon April 15.
Last month Attorney General Eric Holder authorized government prosecutors to seek the death penalty against the younger Tsarnaev.
READ: Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's Mother Feels 'Nothing' Over Possible Death Sentence
"I think it is a realistic and a fair [trial date]," U.S. District Court Judge George O'Toole said of his ruling today. "I will say to both sides this will be undoubtedly be a lengthy trial."
Marc Fucarile was one of the victims near the finish line with a group of friends from his hometown of Stoneham when the blasts were detonated. He lost his left leg above the knee and suffered permanent hearing loss, along with shrapnel wounds and burns. His friends, brothers JP and Paul Norden, also each lost a leg.
The Stoneham firefighter left the court on crutches and said he thought the trial should start much sooner.
"Why not? I think everybody should be on the same page. It's pretty cut and dry with the evidence. Don't waste everybody's time," he said.
Outside the courthouse, some supporters of Tsarnaev said they still believe the teen is innocent. One woman, Karen Figueroa, 36, drove to the federal courthouse in South Boston from New York City to show her support. Figueroa has been writing to Tsarnaev at Fort Devens, the federal facility where he has been held since he was captured.
Tsarnaev has not written back.
"They won't let him write letters which is wrong,'' Figueroa said. "I'm not one of these girls who thinks he is a rock star. He's accused of terrorism. It's serious. I just think he could be my little brother."
MIT Police Chief John DiFava was also in court. He told ABC News that he supports the death penalty decision and wants the case to go to trial "as soon as possible."
In addition to federal murder and terrorism charges, after the bombing Tsarnaev is also accused of murdering MIT Police Officer Sean Collier in cold blood as he sat in his cruiser on campus.
"I'm here to represent Sean,'' DiFava said.
The next status conference hearing will take place on June 18 - which will also be the date defense attorneys can request a change of venue, O'Toole told the court.
Defense attorneys want access to 2,000 evidentiary items related to the bombing currently being reviewed at FBI Quantico.
"It's not a matter of courtesy,'' said defense attorney Judith Clarke, "it's a matter of case law."
The evidence at Quantico is in addition to 600-800 discovery items that have already been catalogued.

The Board of Directors of the University of New Hampshire Alumni Association recently voted to provide $25,000 toward the construction of the STEM Discovery Lab in UNH Manchester's new space in the Pandora building. This contribution was made in recognition of the importance of the project in furthering a joint effort among the state's institutions of higher education to double the number of graduates in science, technology, engineering, and math disciplines by 2025.
Scheduled to open this fall, the STEM Discovery Lab at Pandora will feature hands-on lab space for students in grades five through 12, with ongoing after-school and weekend exposure to activities facilitated by alumni and community mentors as well as UNH Manchester students and faculty.
"This show of support for what we are trying to do is incredibly important," said Ali Rafieymehr, dean of UNH Manchester. "In order to be successful in our efforts to meet the state's need for more graduates we have to get young people interested and involved at a younger age. The discovery lab will give us this opportunity."
The Alumni Association vote of support was unanimous, with members noting the importance of the project but also the growing collaborative effort to address the issue.
"We wanted to join with UNH, the city of Manchester, the Manchester School District, and Merrimack Valley business and industry leaders in showing our commitment to this learning and teaching center that will inspire students to become the next generation of scientists, engineers, computing professionals, and mathematicians," said J. Michael Hickey, president of the UNH Alumni Association Board of Directors. "We all have a role to play in ensuring the future economic well-being of the state and this is an exciting step on that path forward."
The STEM Discovery Lab will join UNH Manchester's new Emerging Technology Center at the historic Pandora mill building. The ETC is a resource for businesses and academics to collaborate and experiment together on real world projects, connecting Manchester businesses with not only UNH Manchester students but community college and high school students as well. Students get practical experience in research and development and the community at large benefits too.
"With these two centers we will not only continue to grow as a resource and asset to the region's businesses, but we will have a way to keep K-16 students engaged and excited in science and math," Rafieymehr said. "It's a win for everyone."
Pat Snow, principal of Beech Street Elementary School in Manchester, agreed. "There is evidence mounting every day on how technology ignites students' interests and curiosity," she said. "This is certainly true with the 100 fifth grade students that attended UNH Manchester recently for a course in 3-D animation and computer programming."

For all the doom and gloom about consumer sentiment and holiday spending, one analyst's forecast calls for the most rapid holiday sales growth since 2004—a benchmark that makes others look like Scrooge.
Retail consultancy Customer Growth Partners expects that American consumers have worked to put their finances in order and are ready to spend. Their forecast calls for holiday sales in the November to December period to rise 6.5 percent from last year to $554 billion.
That's twice consensus forecasts, which have putholiday sales growthbetween 2.5 percent to 3 percent. It also is the fastest pace for retail sales growth since 2004, when holiday sales rose 6.9 percent.
While it's worth keeping in mind that not all forecasters measure holiday sales in exactly the same way, and may not be comparable, this prediction still stands out from the pack.
"American households — at least the 91 percent with jobs — have deleveraged dramatically since 2007, while disposable incomecontinues to rise, generating almost $50 billion a month in incremental free cash flow, even with gasoline price hikes," said Craig Johnson, Consumer Growth Partners president, in a statement announcing his forecast.
"After three years of scrimping and saving, Americans are ready to spend — strategically and smartly — but for the first time in years, very few things will stand between an American consumer and her shopping destination. This will be a very happy holiday for most families — and almost all retailers," he said, in a written statement.
Johnson's prediction is worth watching. He has been very accurate in the past. His estimates look at retail sales growth excluding automobiles, auto parts, gasoline, fuel, food service and restaurants, but including both Internet and direct-to-consumer sales, and he makes his predictions based on reported data from retailers, store and channel check and other research his firm conducts.
There are five key factors contributing to the forecast, Johnson says:
On that last point, Johnson expects sales of apparel during the holiday season to outpace overall retail sales growth, with an increase of 7.6 percent. Sales of luxury itemsalso will do well as will online retailers, dollar stores, and discount retailers.
Johnson also predicts that department stores — from Nordstrom and Saks to Macy's — will see their best holiday in years.

Aaron Hernandez -- THE SMOKING GUM
Aaron Hernandez THE SMOKING GUM
Prosecutors believe they have a CRUCIAL piece of evidence that proves Aaron Hernandez murdered Odin Lloyd ... and the proof tastes like cotton candy.
As Aaron stood shackled in a Massachusetts courtroom moments ago, prosecutors spelled out their case against the former New England Patriots player.
During the hearing, prosecutors say they can prove Hernandez stopped at a gas station hours before the murder and purchased gas, cigarettes and BLUE COTTON CANDY FLAVORED BUBBLICIOUS BUBBLE GUM.
After Odin was murdered, investigators say they found a shell casing in his rental car that matched the caliber of the bullet used to kill the 27-year-old ... and next to the casing -- A CHEWED PIECE OF BLUE COTTON CANDY FLAVORED BUBBLICIOUS BUBBLE GUM.
Officials believe the gum places Hernandez at the scene of the crime -- and proves he killed Odin.
Hernandez has entered a not guilty plea.

Doctors treat deep brain tumor with novel MRI-guided laser technology
Using a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided laser technology, neurosurgeons at UC San Diego Health System have successfully treated a malignant tumor deep inside a patient's brain. This is the first time that this FDA-approved laser-based treatment has been performed in California.
"The patient's brain tumor was located in the thalamus. Normally, to access a tumor in this region, the surgeon would have to remove considerable healthy brain tissue, thus subjecting the patient to significant neurologic injury," said neurosurgeon Clark C. Chen, MD, PhD, vice chairman of research, UC San Diego Division of Neurosurgery. "This MRI-guided laser technology helps neurosurgeons preserve healthy brain tissues while allowing treatment of tumors that would otherwise be inoperable."
Chen and his team used a technique called laser interstitial thermal therapy. The procedure is performed inside an MRI machine while the patient is under general anesthesia. A dime-size hole is created in the patient's skull to access the tumor. A laser probe is then inserted into the tumor under real-time MRI monitoring and computer guidance. When the tumor is reached, the laser beam is activated, heating and destroying tumor cells.
"It is well-known that MRI can be used to generate detailed images of the brain. What is less known is that MRI can also be used to measure the internal temperature of the brain," said Chen. "With this application, I can view the tumor in real time as it is being destroyed while customizing the effects of the laser to the tumor without injuries to the surrounding normal brain. This incredible visualization allows neurosurgeons to preserve billions of neuronal connections that are essential for normal brain function."
Many types of brain tumors can be treated using this laser technology, according to Chen, including glioblastomas, anaplastic astrocytomas and brain metastases. A comprehensive risk-benefit analysis is conducted for each patient to determine if a minimally invasive or open-approach is best suited to the patient's specific tumor type. Chen added that his goal in all procedures is to destroy the brain tumor while maintaining the highest quality of life for his patients.
Patients undergoing thermal ablation are typically discharged from hospital one day after the procedure and can return to normal activities. The laser ablation requires real-time MRI monitoring and a dedicated intra-operative MRI team. The procedure cannot be performed in a conventional operating room.
The NeuroBlate System was developed by Monteris Medical, Inc., Plymouth, MN. The NeuroBlate System is also used to treat epileptic disorders and chronic inflammation caused by ionizing radiation.

A man is the sum of his misfortunes. One day you'd think misfortune would get tired, but then time is your misfortune.
I'm a failed poet. Maybe every novelist wants to write poetry first, finds he can't, and then tries the short story, which is the most demanding form after poetry. And, failing at that, only then does he take up novel writing.
Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.
If I had not existed, someone else would have written me, Hemingway, Dostoevsky, all of us. Proof of that is that there are about three candidates for the authorship of Shakespeare's plays. But what is important is Hamlet and A Midsummer Night's Dream, not who wrote them, but that somebody did. The artist is of no importance. Only what he creates is important, since there is nothing new to be said. Shakespeare, Balzac, Homer have all written about the same things, and if they had lived one thousand or two thousand years longer, the publishers wouldn't have needed anyone since.
The poets are wrong of course. … But then poets are almost always wrong about facts. That's because they are not really interested in facts: only in truth: which is why the truth they speak is so true that even those who hate poets by simple and natural instinct are exalted and terrified by it.
Maybe the only thing worse than having to give gratitude constantly is having to accept it.
