We love analogies. No matter what the topic, analogies are a great way to explain something in a different context to make a specific point with a frame of reference that may be more familiar to those we are making a point to. There is one that seems to come back over and over again in our industry, the one that compares the network to the power grid, network connections to power plugs. I had not heard it for a while but at Interop last week, I heard it used twice in booth demonstrations as part of plug and play pitches. And I really do not like that analogy.
The comparison to power comes from the angle of it just being there and available. Plug something in and it turns on. Its universal and it's simple, anyone can use it. It's highly standardized, you can buy bits and pieces that work together in any hardware store. It's reliable. You just get a bill each month, pay it, and in many places you can even pick your provider different from the owner of the cable that actually plugs into your house. It's all good, it's mostly invisible.
Except that all of these come with their own challenges. The overall power grid reliability is well below 99.99%. Across the US, the average outage minutes per year is hovering in the 2 hour range, in the Northeast almost double that. There are only very people I know that do not have a backup generator, just in case, and get to use it at least once a year, ignoring the smaller outages where we just live in the dark for a few minutes. It is very standardized, with plenty of standard variations from country to country, thank goodness for $30 converters. And the cost, well, it's rising faster than inflation (almost twice as fast in fact).
Now, this article is not meant to be a complaining session about power. When power works and you forget about the bill, it is very much invisible, which is the only piece of the analogy I do like, maybe.
Networks should be invisible, but not in the same sense power should be invisible. When comparing networks to power it always comes down to "it's just there, plentiful, accessible, and just works". And (not surprising), I think the network can do much better than "just be there". Networks need to migrate away from an entity that is architected, designed, implemented, managed and debugged separately from the applications it serves. Networks have to become an integral part of the application infrastructure.
Now, any two (or more) distinctly different entities need to be glued together. No different for applications, servers and networks. Applications are glued to servers by means of the OS. As a consumer of an application, or even an administrator, the amount of work you have to do to put these two together is (usually) fairy minimal. The creator of the OS has provided tons of hooks and tools to give the application what it needs, the application provides to and asks what it wants from the OS.
The glue between the server and the network is much harsher, much less refined. There is an expectation of matching configuration, very little is actually transacted between the two to get them to work together nicely. Yes there is DHCP and perhaps you can even count LLDP in that, but the amount of alignment of information between the two so they can work together seamlessly without human intervention is minimal. And if something is not quite working the way it should, you need heavily certified network engineers and tons of homegrown tools and scripts to figure out why. That is by no means a knock on network certifications (that is for @cloudtoad to comment on), but it should not be that hard. The exchange is extremely focused on data plane traffic for transportation, very little provisioning, debug and other feedback is exchanged and reacted to.
We need to get to a network that is invisible enough to allow you to create coarse provisioning policies created from application templates. There should be no need for me to configure individual ports and protocols on ports. There should be no need for me to configure how network components are tied together and provide optimized connectivity based on the needs of its customers. The network needs to provide debugging tools that interact with applications in feedback loops. It needs to provide enough details for orchestration systems to adjust their placement of apps. Or in Plexxi's case, take in information from orchestration systems to change the L1, L2 and L3 behavior of the network to the requested demand. And that orchestration system could be a specialized Hadoop controller or a far more generic cloud orchestrator.
The network needs to cease to exist as a separate entity, it needs to become an integrated part of the application infrastructure that uses its services. That's the kind of invisible we need to achieve.
[Today's Fun Fact: An Iranian man paid $500 to a wizard to become invisible. The man then walked into a bank and grabbed money from people's hands believing he was invisible. He was promptly arrested and convicted. Conclusion: pay more or pick a better wizard next time.]

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot
Container City: Shipping containers, indispensable tool of the globalized consumer economy, reflect the skyline in Singapore, one of the world's busiest ports.
Topics: AlterNet, Unemployment, Aurora shooting, Guns, Gun Control, james holmes, Politics News
So far, there's not a whole lot known about James Eagan Holmes, the 24-year old whom police say fatally shot 12 people and injured dozens more in a suburban Denver movie theater during the premiere of the new Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises." As the nation grieves for the families of the victims, questions about the alleged perpetrator are swirling.
What we do know paints a picture of a young man who might have reasonably harbored high expectations of a successful life. He was raised in a well-tended middle class suburban neighborhood in San Diego. And he earned a scholarship to the University of California, Riverside where he distinguished himself, earning a B.S. neuroscience in the spring of 2010. Chancellor Timothy P. White told reporters Friday that "academically, he was at the top of the top" and demonstrated "obvious intellectual capacity."
But after graduating, it seems that Holmes had difficulty finding a job. According to a neighbor, Tom Mai, he ended up working at McDonald's.
"I felt bad for him because he studied so hard," said Mai. "My brother said he looked kind of down; he seemed depressed."
Holmes then went back to school to get another degree, enrolling as a doctoral student at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora. At the time of the shooting, he was in the process of withdrawing.
Reports of a syllabus suggest that Holmes may have studied substance abuse, schizophrenia, depression and other disorders. Apparently he was scheduled to present a paper on miRNA markers that contribute to neurological disorders in May. It is not yet known if Holmes had any history of mental illness himself.
Obviously, a person would have to be gravely disturbed to commit mass murder dressed in full ballistic gear and refer to himself as "The Joker," the arch-enemy of Batman. Investigators will be searching Holmes' history for clues as to what triggered a man with no prior record of violence to turn homicidal.
There may have been many factors that contributed to Holmes' brutal rampage. And we may never know the full story. But the comments of the family neighbor raise a question: Did his experience in the job market contribute to Holmes' state of mind? Certainly it is a fact that the economic crisis has taken a terrible toll on young people across America. The March 2012 unemployment rate for workers under age 25 was twice as high as the national average, standing at 16.4 percent. For young college graduates, the unemployment rate was 10.4 percent in 2010 and 9.4 percent over 2011, while the underemployment rate was 19.8 percent in 2010 and 19.1 percent in 2011.
Failure to find a first job or keep it for long can have damaging long-term consequences on the lives of our youth. Research shows that spells of unemployment for a young person often damage the person's happiness and health for many years to come.
The California unemployment rate is among the highest in the nation. Of course, there were many young people other than Holmes who ended up working at McDonald's after graduating with honors. And only one of them turned a movie theater into a slaughterhouse. But global reports of the connection between mental health and employment prospects are showing us that young people often suffer from feelings of self-loathing, failure, panic, and a whole range of mental health problems during times of high joblessness.
A recent study by the National Institutes of Health found that "youth unemployment is associated with an increased vulnerability to psychiatric disorder." Unemployment, the study found, can also influence the course of pre-existing disorders. We don't know yet if this bears on the Holmes case. But we can be sure that for young people facing a tough job market, the chances of tragedies increase: suicide rates spike, as does the incidence of violence. Budget cuts, shredded safety nets, and flawed health insurance make finding help more and more difficult for those who are suffering distress.
Shooting sprees are a rare event, but in the wake of such a tragedy, we'll need to look at all the broader societal conditions that may have interacted with and possibly exacerbated the state of a disturbed mind, from the easy availability of guns to access to adequate mental health services. And we'll need to think long and hard about the stress created in young people for whom the combination of high unemployment and mental strain can become the potential catalyst for disaster.

The greatest value of this kind of check list is self evaluation rather than evaluation of others. I think it can foster a good conversation about spiritual fervor, so Bravo! Mike November 22, 2010
It was a pretty good assessment, a good rating tool. With the exception of the "Power" question, I think we can relate well to all of the questions. Our belief is that all miracles ceased with the death of the last apostle, since to be able to do a miracle, you had to be an apostle. No apostles left on earth today if you read the requiements for being an apostle in Acts. The Church Jumpstarter August 25, 2010
The Church Apgar should help many discouraged pastors of small churches where megachurches are held out as the standard to which one must measure up. Robert August 18, 2010
I am at a cross-roads where I am pondering do I want any more involvement with the institution referred to as "church." I am fully committed to Jesus Christ and as a result I question of today's use and necessity of an institution that has so wrongly used the term "church." This assessment has renewed some hope for me that maybe my congregation of affiliation can change from just an institution to being the place that Christ intended for God's Glory. Thank you for providing such a simple yet effective tool for bringing much needed change! George Newman August 17, 2010

With just a month and a few days left before Mario Kart 8 debuts on the Wii U, we've heard rumors that Nintendo is planning on releasing a demo on the Wii U eShop sometime between now and then. The rumor is that the demo will be similar to the demo that has been circling at several tradeshows, including South by Southwest and WonderCon. Nintendo has been no stranger to public events, but according to this rumor, they could be planning on invading the living room.
This isn't entirely unprecedented, as Nintendo seems to be a bit more generous with their demos as of late. The Wonderful 101 had a demo in the eShop a month before the game launched, while Wii Fit U had a special demo promotion for those who bought hardware to go with the game during their trial period. The current rumor is that the demo will feature the three tracks Nintendo has showcased at several trade events, as well as a limited roster of characters.
Most Wii U owners will probably be picking up Mario Kart 8 either way, but for those on the brink and considering purchase, playing a demo at a friend's house could be the ultimate way to help drive sales of both the console and a new game.
Mario Kart 8 is scheduled to release worldwide on May 30.

The original intent of this entry was to discuss my greatest writing fear. This is a concept that's been on my plate for over a month now, and the problem that I arrived at as I turned this over in my head was that it was nearly impossible to narrow it down. There are so many different possible writing fears that naming just one would be impossible.
There is, for example, the fear…

Maybe it's because the 3 little pigs is my daughter's favorite story right now, but I spent the weekend with several other authors (some self-published and some published through big publishing houses) and now I can't get thoughts of the big bad wolf out of my head. Let's face it. We, as authors, are all just like these little piggies. We just want to make our own way in this world, set up houses for ourselves, and live happily ever after. But the big bad wolf of…

So yesterday I talked about writing a good beginning, leading with peril. Today I'm going to look at the trickier question of what makes a good ending. You see, where there's a fairly straightforward formula for a beginning, endings aren't quite that easy.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes Pictures at the Wiesenthal Center Tribute
Tom Has Katie and a Career's Worth of Costars Showing Support as He Picks Up Humanitarian Honor
Katie Holmes and Connor Cruise were by Tom Cruise's side last night as the actor picked up an award from the Wiesenthal Center at the Four Seasons Hotel in LA. Tom earned the Jewish human rights organization's humanitarian honor, and the distinction was earned due to his longtime support of their Museum of Tolerance in addition to work bringing Nazi atrocities to light. He was especially able to reveal WWII abuses in the film Valkyrie, playing a German soldier who attempted to assassinate Hitler. Tom had friends and business partners from movie projects of the past, present, and future on hand to wish him well. His old Jerry Maguire buddy, Cuba Gooding, Jr., turned out, along with his Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol friends like Jeremy Renner, who's actually taking over the MI franchise, and Paula Patton. J.J. Abrams, who wrote the script for the latest installment of the action series, was on hand to emcee the proceedings. Even Malin Akerman, who nabbed the lead in Tom's new film Rock of Ages, came out to show love for the superstar. Malin and Tom's other costar, Russell Brand, was off jet-skiing in Miami, though, and couldn't make it. Tom was touched about the prize and made a short speech from the stage. Tom Cruise said of his humanitarian award, "It's a tremendous honor. For me and my family this is really a very special evening and I look at what Simon Wiesenthal accomplished with his life, what this museum represents . . . Our challenge, ladies and gentlemen, is to make sure that we do all in our power to see to it that there will be no more Auschwitz Birkenaus, no more Rwandas, no more Darfurs on our planet. That our children and their children may be free to live in a world where men and women are judged by their accomplishments and deeds rather than by their race or religion."

The King's Speech was honored with best ensemble cast, which they accepted with humble thanks. Buzz was reporting from the press room, so check out all the highlights. Hailee Steinfeld hugged her True Grit costar Jeff Bridges, and the two had a lot to celebrate since they each earned Oscar nominations last week!

NJ Track Calls for End to Simulcast Impasse
Meadowlands, which contracts with Monarch Content Management to negotiate host fees for its signal, issued a statement Feb. 27 on the ongoing dispute that is blacking out its signal from 23 racetracks.
Meadowlands, which contracts with Monarch Content Management to negotiate host fees for its signal, issued a statement Feb. 27 on the ongoing dispute that is blacking out its signal from 23 racetracks.
All-sources pari-mutuel handle is up 10.3% year-to-date at Tampa Bay Downs, which puts the Florida racetrack on course to average more than $4 million per day and finish with its highest wagering total since the 2010-11 meet.
Twenty-three racetracks and their affiliated wagering outlets began 2015 without the signals from Gulfstream Park, Santa Anita Park, and Laurel Park as a simulcast-fee dispute entered its second month.
A war of words in a dispute between two cooperatives that negotiate simulcast fees continued Dec. 8 when the MidAtlantic Cooperative, which represents 23 racetracks, said Monarch Content Management misstated facts.
Simulcast players in the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond looking forward to betting important meetings in California and Florida this week may have to wait.
TrackNet Media Group and the MidAtlantic Cooperative announced Jan. 22 that they have reached an agreement with MidAtlantic members of the simulcast signals of racetracks affiliated with TrackNet
Gulfstream Park's 2010 schedule is again laden with graded stakes, and one safe bet is that most of the 80 racing days will be warm and sunny. Otherwise, there are changes and questions in abundance.
The MidAtlantic Cooperative and the New York Racing Association have struck an agreement that will allow cooperative members and their wagering facilities to import the Aqueduct signal effective Oct. 27.
The Belmont Park signal returned to Suffolk Downs Oct. 21after the track and the New York Racing Association struck a deal outside of the MidAtlantic Cooperative, of which Suffolk is a member.
In a letter to a senior vice president of the New York Racing Association, the executive director of the MidAtlantic Cooperative of racetracks voiced his frustration at the organization's inability to come to terms with NYRA and the TVG Network over simulcasting issues.
Negotiations are underway to resolve the bitter simulcasting dispute between the New York Racing Association and a consortium of Northeast racetracks, as both sides seek to insist the other is being more financially hurt by the controversy.
With the New York Racing Association's handle down since its signal was pulled by the MidAtlantic Cooperative in mid- September, NYRA chairman Barry Schwartz said the dispute can be resolved only if the racetracks in the group "come to their senses."
The MidAtlantic Cooperative, which represents 19 racetracks and their off-track betting facilities and account wagering systems, will pull the plug on simulcasts from Belmont Park effective Sept. 15 having failed to strike a deal with the New York Racing Association.
Suffolk Downs and Rockingham Park have become the newest members of the MidAtlantic Cooperative LLC, the company announced Wednesday.
Churchill Downs Simulcast Network and the MidAtlantic Cooperative LLC have reached an agreement that authorizes MidAtlantic member tracks to accept simulcast and pari-mutuel wagering on CDSN products. The joint announcement was made by today by CDSN President Karl F. Schmitt Jr. and Martin Lieberman, executive director of the MidAtlantic Cooperative.

At present, China's economy is continuing to grow in a stable and relatively rapid manner, reform and opening to the outside world are being carried out further, social undertakings are developing at an accelerated pace and people's livelihoods are further improving; however, we are also concurrently facing serious difficulties and challenges. With a view to intensifying the instillation of the spirit of the "two meetings", implementing the state's intellectual property strategy, causing intellectual property trials to better serve in effectively countering the shocks brought on by the international financial crisis, promoting stable and relatively rapid economic development as the main objective and more actively contributing to "maintaining growth, protecting people's livelihoods and maintaining stability", we hereby put forward the following opinions on several issues on the proper handling of intellectual property trial work by people's courts in view of the current economic situation:

Valentine's Celebration at Parkway Plastic Surgery
Valentine's Day is a celebration of romantic love and beauty. Its roots are traced back to ancient times when, as the story goes, Saint Valentine of Rome was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry. And the day became more deeply associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.
So what better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than with a day of love, beauty and pampering just for you? Jacksonville's Parkway Plastic Surgery is hosting a day-long Valentine's Party next Thursday, February 12 from 8am-4:30pm. Among the party perks:

Rallies Sunday To Preserve The Postal Service
WASHINGTON, March 21, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Letter carriers will hold rallies around the country Sunday in a day of action for a strong U.S. Postal Service and continued Saturday mail delivery. They will be joined by others in their communities who recognize the importance of maintaining universal mail service six days a week.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110406/DC78673LOGO)
Fredric Rolando, president of the National Association of Letter Carriers, said the following:
The plan to shrink the Postal Service and end six-day service is an attack on the future of this great institution and on the customers who need it. Many Americans – including small-business owners, the elderly, rural and urban residents, veterans and the tens of millions without access to reliable Internet service – would suffer if the strength and service of our Postal Service is compromised.
Eliminating Saturday delivery is a step toward dismantling the world's most affordable and efficient delivery network, which is older than the country itself and based in the Constitution. It would add costs to small businesses and greatly inconvenience many Americans – without saving taxpayers a dime, since the Postal Service doesn't use taxpayer money for its operations. It funds itself by the sale of stamps and other products. It would hurt the Postal Service's bottom line, by driving mail out of the system, lowering revenue and thus requiring further cutbacks – leading to a death spiral for the USPS. It also would affect the economic recovery. The Postal Service is the hub of the $1.3 trillion mailing industry, which employs 7.5 million Americans in the private sector. And degrading service doesn't even address the Postal Service's financial problems. In 2006, Congress mandated that the Postal Service pre-fund future retiree health benefits for decades to decades into the future, and pay for it within 10 years. No other agency or company is required to pre-fund, and this unfair mandate accounts for more than 80 percent of all postal red ink – $11 billion last year alone. Instead of cutting services, Congress should address the pre-funding problem it created. Then the Postal Service can do what it has done for more than 200 years – develop a business plan to meet the needs of an evolving society.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Description: Quilombo de Palmares was a real-life democratic society, created in Brazil in the 17th century. This incredibly elaborate (and surprisingly little-known) film traces the origins of Quilombo, which began as a community of freed slaves. The colony becomes a safe harbor for other outcasts of the world, including Indians and Jews. Ganga Zumba (Toni Tornado) becomes president of Quilombo, the first freely elected leader in the Western Hemisphere. Naturally, the ruling Portuguese want to subjugate Zumba and his followers, but the Quilombians are ready for their would-be oppressors. The end of this Brave New World is not pleasant, but the followers of Zumba and his ideals take to the hills, where they honor his memory to this day. Writer/director Carlos Diegues takes every available opportunity to compare the rise and fall of Quilombo with the state of affairs in modern-day Brazil. Still, the film is refreshingly free of self-righteous oratory, and serves as an excellent introduction to anyone intrigued by the political history of South America.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Last September PopCap Games co-founder John Vechey left Electronic Arts to tackle other projects, including non-profit work.
Today one of those "other projects" is revealed to be Pluto VR, a Seattle-based startup co-founded by Vechey and three other men intent on developing software for virtual and augmented reality devices.
Game development doesn't seem to be a big priority, however -- Vechey told GamesBeat that "At first, we're going to be focused on collaboration and learning" as Pluto VR works on figuring out how to do things like accurate facial tech for virtual conference calls.
In the future, VR emulation of board games may be in the cards for Pluto VR, whose co-founders previously worked at companies like Valve, Walt Disney Animation Studios and Know Your Meme.
Games For Change festival organizers have announced the nominee list for its 2015 awards, and Never Alone from E-Line Media and Upper One Games leads the pack with nominations for Best Gameplay and Best Social Impact.
It's a notable nod for the game, which was designed in conjunction with a non-profit organization to celebrate Alaskan Native culture.
Other developers nominated for awards include 11 bit studios for This War Of Mine, Nicky Case and Vi Hart for Parable of the Polygons, and the soon-to-be-shuttered Game Oven for Bounden.
USC Games program director Tracy Fullerton is also slated to receive the "Game Changer Award" during the Games for Change award gala, which will be hosted game industry luminary Jesse Schell at NYU on April 22nd.
The award, which was given out for the first time last year (to Schell, no less), recognizes significant contributions from individual who inspire and mentor a new generation of game creators, critics and researchers.
More details on the 12th Annual Games for Change festival, including the full list of award nominees, can be found over on the Games For Change website.

Russian Premier: Situation on Kursk Nearly 'Catastrophic'
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov on Thursday said the situation aboard the sunken Kursk nuclear submarine was "close to catastrophic," Interfax reported.
"One wants to hope that there is still a chance left to save the crew," he added.
"In the past night, there were no cardinal changes for either the better or the worse" in Russia's floundering rescue efforts, he said.
His comments came at the start of a previously scheduled cabinet meeting - MOSCOW (AFP)
