By Sanjeev Mervana - Energetic debates of what SDN is and the expanding scope of what it can do for our customers continue to race along in a chaotic frenzy. In addition, the overall SDN market is somewhat fragmented in terms of both vendor positioning and marketing. Collectively, the conversation really comes down to improving business agility and the efficiencies gained in bringing new services to market. Essentially, the goal is to enable operators to make their networks and services go much faster.
While software defined networking (SDN) technologies continue to drive significant entropy in our industry, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) recently rose up and became a key focus of many discussions at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last month.
Where does NFV fit? The goal of the NFV working group is to accelerate development and deployment of interoperable network services solutions based on high volume industry standard servers. Most services are deployed using a collection of discrete network functions that are hardwired, and difficult to reconfigure or adapt to changing user demands. Virtualization of discrete functions improves the delivery economics through more effective utilization of a collection or pool of compute resources. The Cisco Open Network Environment (ONE) takes the NFV approach even further, using programmable service chains to orchestrate and automate service creation. Cisco is a leading and contributing member of the ETSI Industry Specifications Group on NFV working to drive this important collaboration effort forward.
Recognized as one of the more intelligent and commercial free debates during MWC 2013, our own Padmasree Warrior discussed the networks of the future and the evolution to the Internet of Everything with her peers in the industry. One of the key opportunities for operators is to monetize virtualized network and cloud services, while optimizing access, transport, and cloud infrastructure. All of the panelists identified NFV as one of the enabling technologies to transform the business economics of the operators. A highlight of the discussion was the road ahead for our operators to capture these exciting new opportunities and the innovations that we are building to accelerate this transformation of their businesses.
We continue to evolve and enhance the capabilities of our multi-layered Cisco ONE software based approach to programmability, virtualization, and orchestration that encompass a growing list of use cases and new market opportunities for mobility, video, and collaboration services. Recently, we introduced the Cisco Quantum™ software suite, an innovative new component of our Cisco ONE framework for the delivery of new network services. Cisco Quantum™ intelligent software currently includes self-optimizing network (SON) capabilities, real-time analytics, policy, orchestration, and abstraction functions that work together via open APIs with the application environment to enable an elastic and virtualized infrastructure not just in the data center, but throughout the wide area and radio access networks. These Cisco technologies enable service providers to capture new business opportunities while deliver new, better and more personalized connected experiences and monetize "data in motion" as we rapidly move towards the Internet of Everything.
Within her networks of the future presentation, Padmasree also described how Cisco Quantum™ plays a key role and building block in the evolution of our Cisco ONE framework illustrated below from a functional software architecture perspective. Essentially, many of the Cisco Quantum™ capabilities enhance the closed bi-directional feedback loop to bring the untapped value of the intelligent network to the applications environment.
While both SDN and NFV may have captured the spotlight of our attention, we must also continue to collaborate with our customers to simplify their service creation and deployment processes with orchestration and automation capabilities that accelerate time to revenue. Be sure to join us along with our industry colleagues at the SDN 2013 Summit in Paris next week to continue our dialogue and move forward on this exciting journey. Hang on and enjoy the ride in the fast lane…

DEFINITION of 'Golden Leash '
Special incentives offered to directors being nominated to serve on the board of a company by a major shareholder. A golden leash is designed to offer an incentive to the nominee directors to act in the interests of the major shareholder, which is typically an activist hedge fund or other institution that is seeking to introduce major change in the target company's strategic direction.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Golden Leash 'The concept of a golden leash is criticized by proponents of sound corporate governance, since special incentives offered to directors may compromise their independence and lead them to favor their backer's agenda, rather than serve in the best interests of all shareholders.
The term "golden leash" has become part of popular financial parlance following the acrimonious proxy fight between Canadian fertilizer giant Agrium and its largest shareholder, activist hedge fund Jana Partners. In the summer of 2012, Jana proposed that Agrium spin off its retail business so as to boost shareholder returns. However, Agrium steadfastly rejected Jana's proposal on the grounds that splitting up its retail and wholesale businesses would jeopardize its finances and erode shareholder value. Jana responded by proposing a new slate of directors to serve on Agrium's board, but stirred controversy when it was revealed that its four nominee directors would receive a percentage of the profits that Jana earned on its shareholdings of Agrium, within a three-year period commencing September 2012. Agrium deemed this as a "golden leash" arrangement that was unheard of in Canada and said it created a clear conflict of interest that refuted the independence of Jana's nominee directors.

Initiative Could Require Businesses to Reveal Environmental Impact
New rules under discussion with accounting standards organizations could require businesses to publish their environmental and social impacts together with their financial disclosures, reports The Guardian. These means businesses would have to account for their impact on local water quality, plants and animals.
These new regulations and standards are now being discussed with both the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the UK accounting organization, according to The Guardian.
The initiative was revealed as a major report, "The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) ," for the UN was released indicating that companies are causing significant damage to the "living fabric of this planet" and posing significant risks to their own profits.
In December last year, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and 14 other global accounting organizations called on political leaders to establish universal accounting standards on financial information related to climate change.
A recent report from Ernst & Young reveals in a survey of more than 1,000 U.S. public registrants with revenues between $1 billion and $100 billion that just 29 companies disclosed an accounting policy related to emissions credits or allowances in their financial statements.
Earlier this year, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ruled that publicly traded companies must warn investors about any serious risks from climate change to their operations.
Richard Spencer, head of sustainability for the Institute of Chartered Accountants in the UK, told The Guardian compulsory reporting was only one of many ideas such as regulation or voluntary standards that would encourage businesses to change their behavior.
Pavan Sukhdev, the study leader said in the article that exposing companies to such scrutiny would motivate more of them to follow the "leaders" in monitoring and improving their operations.
Joshua Bishop, the TEEB for Business report coordinator and Chief Economist of IUCN, also told The Guardian that better accounting of business impacts on biodiversity will be essential to drive changes in business investments and operations.
A study from Trucost estimates the cost of environmental damage by 3,000 of the world's biggest companies at about $2.2 trillion in 2008.

Description1873 25C Arrows MS63 PCGS. The 1873 Arrows quarter is scarce in Uncirculated condition, and often reveals striking weakness. This example is generally well impressed, with just a touch of softness on parts of Liberty's head, and weakness in the centers of the stars along the upper obverse border. The lustrous surfaces are pale blue-green, gray, and gold. The reverse displays slightly darker shades of gray-tan and apricot-gold toning. Liberty's portrait and the eagle show a few small, barely noticeable marks, none of which are bothersome. Population: 25 in 63, 53 finer (12/08).

Search Nursery Rhyme Lyrics & Childrens Songs
Millions Of Rain-Drops
MILLIONS of massive rain-drops
Have fallen all around;
They have danced on the house-tops,
They have hidden in the ground.
They were liquid-like musicians,
With anything for keys,
Beating tunes upon the windows,
Keeping time upon the trees.
Some more nursery rhymes to enjoy
Sleepy Head
Come, let's to bed,
Says Sleepy-head,
Tarry a while, says Slow,
Put on the pan, says Greedy Nan,
Let's sup before we go
Origins of Nursery Rhyme Lyrics and Words
Nursery Rhyme lyrics have many different origins and meanings. In most cases the meanings behind nursery rhyme lyrics cannot be verified. A few examples of some more well know nursery rhyme lyrics and their possible meanings are; 'Baa, Baa, Black sheep' was thought to originate from the medieval taxes, 'Humpty Dumpty' was thought to be a cannon used in the English civil war and 'London Bridge is Falling Down' was thought to be related to the burial of children in foundations or Vikings burning wooden bridges. Whatever the meaning behind Nursery Rhyme Lyrics we have enjoyed them in our own childhood along with sharing them with our own children (and it is amazing after many years how quickly the Lyrics to nursery rhymes can still be remembered).

Shocking! A-Rod uses time off for travel, dating, visiting children
Oct 15, 2009, 12:44 PM EDT
Page 6 of the New York Post provides a few details on how Alex Rodriguez has spent the long layoff between ALDS and ALCS:
What are a few thousand miles to a man in love? Alex Rodriguez flew from New York to Miami for one night to wine and dine Kate Hudson at Prime 112 in South Beach, where he chatted up the Mets' Carlos Beltran at a neighboring table.
Diners were shocked to see the Yankee slugger there with the championship series just days away. But A-Rod's ex-wife, Cynthia, and their two daughters live in Miami, and Alex also wanted to see his kids.
Diners may have been "shocked" to see Rodriguez and anything A-Rod no doubt still sells newspapers even if he's managed to silence the clutch-related criticisms for a while, but New York to Miami isn't exactly a lengthy trek for someone who flies constantly for his job, it sounds like he travels to Florida quite a bit to visit his children, and I'm guessing that most of his Yankees teammates probably didn't spend the entire layoff locked inside of a batting cage. You know, unless they're into that type of thing.
- peteinfla - Oct 15, 2009 at 1:20 PM
WTF! Why are you even reporting this non-story. Hell, I'd WALK thousands of miles to spend a night with Kate Hudson! And imagine him wanting to spend some time with his children! What a bastard.
Why don't you report on some really hard hitting news like what he had as an appetizer? Or dessert? Did he pair red wine with poultry? Come on now, why would you even bother to reference anything from page six of the NY POST, a rag of a paper that makes the National Enquirer look like the Wall Street Journal.
Isn't the real story here the ridiculous schedule presented by MLB?One strictly made with only the TV ratings in mind, not the players, teams or fans? Or is that to big a foe for you to take on? Really, now this is dissapointing even for a blog.
I realize that you are trying to say the same thing, that this is a non-story, but aren't you fostering this? Some things just don't need to be written about.

Ok, BCTF, you are right. Somehow I missed the point and I was wrong in my response. Aaron, I apologize for jumping here – I guess I have to switch to decaf.

ARod needs to take a lesson from Jeet in the females department. Kate Hudson is not aging gracefully, and she spent all that time with Chris Robinson. Ugh.
If ARod hadn't talked trash about Jeet all those years ago, he'd have access to all of the Captain's torn out pages in his little black book, and wouldn't be doing this odd crypt-robbing routine.

Credit unions should consider offering low or no down payment mortgages, which have become a trend.
Home equity lending was up 20% last year alone, according to NAFCU economist.

RealtyTrac predicts a "boomerang wave" as seven-year credit repair period comes to an end.
As millennials move to places with better job prospects, baby boomers are downsizing to smaller communities with lower population density, according to a report from real estate data firm RealtyTrac.
As millennials move to high-priced metro areas with better job prospects, boomers downsize for retirement.
The average student loan debt loads are not enough by themselves to prevent graduates in almost the entire country from purchasing a home, according to RealtyTrac, a real estate data firm.
Real estate data firm says student loans alone aren't enough to keep college graduates from buying a home.
Real estate data firm finds that 96% of the nation's housing markets are affordable for recent college graduates.

Since it was raining, we offered Nikita a ride which she was more than glad to take. Turned out Nikita was on vacation, and her husband left her there while he went fishing with his buddies. She was a wild one that didn't want to be bored alone at her hotel room and really wanted to have some fun. Nikita was eye balling Levi the whole time and invited us up to her place once we got there. She really let loose after that and pulled out her massive jugs. Nikita even took out her lil sex toy.

Phoenix Suns
Love torches teammates as Wolves lose again
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Kevin Love is usually one of the last Minnesota Timberwolves to be interviewed after a game, preferring first to collect his thoughts as he goes through a treatment regimen that includes an extended dip in an icy cold tub that helps his body recover from the beating it takes on a nightly basis.
This time, Love was waiting for the media who trudged into the locker room after the Timberwolves' latest gut punch of a loss, a 104-103 defeat to the Phoenix Suns. This time, he had a message to deliver, and it wasn't pretty.
"We can't have two guys sitting at the end of the bench that play good minutes just sitting there and not getting up during timeouts," Love said, referring to the poor body language exhibited by veterans J.J. Barea and Dante Cunningham in the fourth quarter. "We all need to be in this together. That kind of (ticks) me off. We're supposed to be a team."
The Timberwolves (17-18) are anything but a team right now. They are a collection of individual agendas tripping each other up as the franchise pursues its first playoff bid since 2004.
It may only be January. There may still be more than half of the season left to play and key reserves Chase Budinger and Ronny Turiaf may have just returned to help bolster a beleaguered bench.
But all of that perspective and promise was nowhere to be found in the Wolves' locker room on Wednesday night, when a crackling tension threatened to break the team apart. In speaking out, Love was trying to be the leader this young and inexperienced team desperately needs. He was trying to light a fire, as he often says, to motivate two vital teammates and get them to recognize the poor image they were projecting by pouting over their lack of playing time.
"It's two guys that we expect more from them," Love said. "I think they expect more from themselves. I'm not trying to single anybody out and I don't want to make it bigger than it is, but it's just a team that we needed to beat tonight and we needed everybody in there, even guys that didn't play any minutes. We need to have a team and a bench that's really in it together."
Love didn't call out either player by name, but one look at the end of the bench at any point in the fourth quarter made the targets of his ire obvious.
Barea and Cunningham both were gone by the time Love made his comments. But it's likely not going to sit well, especially with Barea, who took exception earlier this month when Love criticized the struggles of the second unit.
That Love torched the two veterans coming off of a game in which the star power forward was just 4 for 20 from the field and 0 for 3 in the fourth quarter- when the Wolves threw away nine-point lead with 4:31 to play- only made his decision to publicly go at his teammates a riskier endeavor.
Part of Love's frustration is rooted in last year's misery. He played just 18 games because of a twice-broken hand and a knee injury and drew criticism from inside the locker room and out for not being a visible presence with the team down the stretch. When Love saw Barea and Cunningham putting themselves before the team as Love had been accused of doing last year, he bristled.
"Those two guys, if and when I did that last year when maybe I didn't sit out (behind the bench) for the game for all 48 minutes and so on and so forth, they would have killed me," Love said. "They would've aired me out. That's tough."
It also speaks to the desperation that is creeping into the team's psyche. The Timberwolves haven't been over .500 since Nov. 23, having failed eight straight times to get over that hump since then. They are 0-10 in games decided by four points or fewer, a troubling stat for a team that is trying to keep pace in the hyper-competitive Western Conference.
Love is in the middle of a phenomenal individual season, having entered the game against the Suns second in the league in scoring (26.4 points per game) and rebounding (13.3). But in terms of his standing in the locker room, he is still trying to regain the respect he had before the difficulties of last season. His missive on Wednesday night may not expedite that process.
"Everybody has to believe," point guard Ricky Rubio said. "Of course somebody maybe is frustrated because he didn't have the minutes that he wanted or he's not in the game in late situations. But something happened, and no matter what, it's coach's decision. You have to be with the team.
"I didn't see that. But if he says he saw something, we would have to talk because that's even worse than losing the game. Not having the team together, that's terrible. We have to be a team and believe in ourselves."
Many in Minnesota have worried about losing Love, who can opt out of his contract in the summer of 2015, to a big-market team. Comments like the ones he delivered on Wednesday night won't ease those concerns. Both Timberwolves President Flip Saunders and Love have expressed optimism about his future in Minnesota.
As temperatures outside Target Center plunged to 15-below zero on Wednesday night, this summer seemed so far away, let alone July 2015. So much can happen between now and then, for better or worse.
The focus now is squarely on the significant issues of the present. And as bad as things appeared on Wednesday night, Love said that he is confident they can turn things around.
"There's still a lot of time," Love said. "We need to win games like this. That makes us 0-10 now in games decided by four points or less. So something's got to give and if we continue to keep working hard and have continuity and stick together, we're going to be all OK."

Who Will Save America's Catholic Schools?
A threatened legacy
A threatened legacy
"It has been a somewhat somber Catholic Schools Week for me, since in the Archdiocese of New York we recently announced that 24 of our schools will be closing at the end of this academic year," writes Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan in a guest editorial in the Wall Street Journal. Annually, "dioceses across the country celebrate the great gifts that are our Catholic schools." But in New York City, according to the National Catholic Education Association, the closings will join a national trend that has seen Catholic-school enrollment in the U.S. decline by 23.4 percent since 2000, a loss of 621,583 students.
