Software Defined Storage and Networking – A Look Ahead
October 20, 2013 by
Henry Newman evaluates commodity hardware/software solutions that were once designed using ASICs for both storage and networking. He sees it working for software defined storage, but high-end networking will continue to develop its own ASICs, given that commodity hardware will not be able to meet the needs for performance and latency required in large core switches.

Impact of latest sanctions played down.
July 24, 2010 3:08 by Reuters
Iran warned on Saturday it would stop trading with countries that impose restrictions on its assets abroad in the face of tightening international sanctions over the Islamic state's disputed nuclear activities.
The United States, the United Nations and the European Union have imposed new restrictions on Iran over its nuclear enrichment activities, which the West fears could lead it to make a bomb.
The fourth round of U.N. sanctions calls for measures against new Iranian banks abroad if a link to the nuclear or missile programmes is suspected and for vigilance on transactions with any Iranian bank, including the central bank.
"Any country that creates limitations for Iran's assets, we will stop trading with them," Hamid Borhani, deputy head of the Central Bank of Iran, told the semi-official Mehr news agency. "We have to protect our assets."
Iran, the world's fifth-largest crude oil exporter, says it needs nuclear technology to generate power.
The latest measures are mainly aimed at vital sectors of Iran's economy such as banking and energy, which analysts say will raise the cost of trade by making it more difficult to transfer funds or insure cargoes.
Iran says any sanctions imposed on its banking sector will create instability in the world's financial system although the Islamic state will find ways to protect its assets.
The United Arab Emirates, a Washington ally, told financial institutions in the Gulf Arab country in June to freeze any accounts belonging to dozens of firms targeted by the fourth round of U.N. sanctions.
The hardline Iranian leader has consistently played down the impact of sanctions. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called the U.N. sanctions a "used handkerchief".
The new sanctions imposed on Iran's banking and financing system may block transactions in euros and dollars.
Iran said on Friday it will shift to other currencies for payment of its oil exports. The dollar is the standard currency for oil trade, but transactions can in theory be carried out in whatever currency the parties involved decide.

Super Bowl XXXVII proposition bets
Originally Published: January 22, 2003By Brandon Funston | ESPN Fantasy Games
The Imperial Palace casino in Las Vegas claims to offer more Super Bowl proposition bets -- 161 -- than any other casino in Sin City. I've seen the list and, when you can wager on whether Joe Jurevicius will catch more passes than goals scored in the Real Madrid versus Athletic Bilbao match, I'm not going to contest the validity of the Imperial's claim.By comparison, the New York-New York casino sports book offers just 40 proposition bets. In its case, action speaks louder than frivolity. ...

To find genes that may be behind the brain's responsiveness to SSRIs, the TAU researchers first applied the SSRI Paroxetine brand name Paxil to 80 sets of cells, or "cell lines," from the National Laboratory for the Genetics of Israeli Populations, a biobank of genetic information about Israeli citizens located at TAU's Sackler Faculty of Medicine and directed by Dr. Gurwitz. The TAU researchers then analyzed and compared the RNA profiles of the most and least responsive cell lines. A gene called CHL1 was produced at lower levels in the most responsive cell lines and at higher levels in the least responsive cell lines. Using a simple genetic test, doctors could one day use CHL1 as a biomarker to determine whether or not to prescribe SSRIs.
"We want to end up with a blood test that will allow us to tell a patient which drug is best for him," said Oved. "We are at the early stages, working on the cellular level. Next comes testing on animals and people."
Rethinking how antidepressants work
The TAU researchers also wanted to understand why CHL1 levels might predict responsiveness to SSRIs. To this end, they applied Paroxetine to human cell lines for three weeks the time it takes for a clinical response to SSRIs. They found that Paroxetine caused increased production of the gene ITGB3 whose protein product is thought to interact with CHL1 to promote the development of new neurons and synapses. The result is the repair of dysfunctional signaling in brain regions controlling mood, which may explain the action of SSRI antidepressants.
This explanation differs from the conventional theory that SSRIs directly relieve depression by inhibiting the reabsorption of the neurotransmitter serotonin in

Richard's Hintonburg Kitchen: Yet another win for west-end foodies

Oh that's right, I must have waited for the FDA to make an approval decision before buying it.
Yeah, that's it!
Girls, Girls, will ya take this chest pounding somewhere, ANYWHERE!, else please...
Wow menstrual, 3 posts directed at me in 4 minutes??? I am certainly flattered. As for CHTP all one has to do is look at each other's posts. 2 days before original approval date I posted approval, approval price baked in and bear raid before approval (actually 2 occurred). You on the other hand said approval and 12 pps day after approval??? Hmmm funny but my prediction seemed pretty spot on but who wants to deal with what was really posted hey menstrual. By the way thanks for pin pointing the time you bought CVM today. By the way it looks you're underwater. Looks like you have some pumping to do so run along cookie.
You are so off, it's hilarious. You predicted "0". You actually told me to burn in Hell if I was wrong and all that baloney. I don't forget funny, I never do. I had to babysit you and the rest of the plumbers on that board. YOU PICKED IT TWO DAYS BEFORE ROFLMAO!! Okay, FartSmell! There, there...
As for CVM, day late and dollar short. You got baited and bought it. LOL! I bought #$%$, as a matter of fact you would not even believe me if I told you. So keep thinking....Luv it! This is too easy.
Here. let me sign myself of as Pineapplecook1001.

Bat Conservation International has, since 1982, combined science, education and conservation action to protect bats worldwide. A key part of that effort uses scientific knowledge to correct the harmful myths and misinformation that have plagued bats for centuries. Public education becomes especially critical amid growing concerns about bats and human health.
The best way to prevent the emergence of bat-borne pathogens is to improve human understanding of bat ecology and change the way bat habitats are impacted. EcoHealth Alliance has expanded its efforts to study the ecology of bat-borne viruses globally, collaborating with local scientists throughout the world to study viruses that threaten public health. The partnership with Bat Conservation International will provide a strategic alliance in the mission to protect bat species and leverage a greater outreach to educate both policy makers and individuals about the important ecosystem services provided by bats.

Narrow your search
You don't have to stick to the tourist spots when you're on vacation. In this Tech Minute, CNET's Sharon Profis has three tips to help you live like a local on your next trip.
Taste the flavor of 2015 with a limited release of Pepsi Perfect, a soft drink made famous as the beverage of the future in "Back to Future: Part II."
It can't sit still as Chinese competitor Didi Kuaidi makes bold moves. One way for Uber to get drivers' attention: Pay them big bonuses.
Technically Incorrect: In Florida, a man on a motorbike decides to show his dexterity during a police chase. It doesn't turn out well.
Rdio has launched a raft of new Internet radio stations curated by "tastemakers," but unlike rival Apple, the stations have been curated for specific countries and regions.
The truck, which has been driving around Seattle for the last four days, will deliver a specific discount product every day to customers in the area.
Local co-op has long been a pastime for Halo fans, but in the upcoming release, they'll only be able to play with friends online.
We love the idea behind these auto-tweeting potholes: cars hit the potholes, a sensor sitting inside the crater sends out a tweet describing the impact and local public works departments get asked for a fix. Clever and functional!
Khail and Ashley wonder what other civic woes can be solved by self-tweeting objects, investigate a new kind of VR camera and watch an origami robot self-assemble, walk, climb, dig and dissolve. #TDPothole

It's a cardinal curly hair rule: Work with your strands, not against them. Miss Jessies® makes that easy with this weightless styling cream, which enhances hairs natural bounce and shape without any heaviness. Whether your hair is naturally kinky, curly, or wavy, the moisturizing formula does away with frizz and dryness. This light-as-air cream gets to work immediately, sealing in hydration and adding shine, while also softening and strengthening each strand. The secret to the formula is its winning combo of plant extracts, including grape seed, lavender, and chestnut. You can thank an infusion of ginger flower and lime for the fresh, sweet scent. And since this cream is packed full of moisturizing botanicals, it doubles as a rescue treatment for fried and over-processed hair.
What a great product! It smells clean and fresh, not overpowering. I used it on my damp hair after showering and it kept my usual post-shower frizz away without being sticky or crunchy. Normally I wouldn't buy something with such unnatural ingredients, but with these great results I'm seriously considering it.4
I have been using Garnier for the longest time but it never really did the trick. I tried out Miss Jessie's Quick Curl that I received in my birchbox and it makes my hair extra curly while also eliminating frizz. My hair is thick, curly/wavy and frizzy so it takes a lot to tame it and this product does. It also adds some shine to it. I just ran out of my sample and will be purchasing the full size product shortly.5
Miss Jessie's was new to me with the May Birchbox, but I'm glad that I got to check their products out! The Original Quick Curls is pretty easy to use, I just ran about a tablespoon through my very thick, long hair, and then scrunched it a bunch. After that I just allowed my hair to air dry, which is my typical routine. This worked out well today, my hair dried very shiny and frizz free!
I've been using a very moisturizing conditioner lately, but I think that since this has some moisture providing properties I might use a lighter conditioner. At the end of the day my hair was a little greasy looking.
Overall I really enjoyed this sample, and I plan to purchase a full size tube once I use up my current supplies of curl cream.

Xerox (NYSE:XRX) is a well-known brand in the technology industry. Its business focuses on two main aspects which include document technology and business process services. In recent quarters it has continued to struggle to gain market share versus its dominant peers IBM (NYSE:IBM) and Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ). On Aug. 24 Xerox announced the acquisition of health care analytics company RSA Medical and on Aug, 28 also announced the launch of a new brand strategy around the theme "Work Can Work Better." Despite Xerox's efforts to expand in health care technology and improve its brand positioning, industry analysts are skeptical of its growth prospects.
Xerox has been lagging its industry peers in market share and revenue growth over the past few quarters. In its most recent earnings report it posted revenue of $4.6 billion with earnings of $246 million and earnings per share of $0.22. Total revenue missed analysts' revenue consensus for the second quarter by $50 million and fell 7% from the comparable quarter. Earnings were in line with analysts' average estimate; however, both earnings and earnings per share fell from the comparable quarter.

Consistency over a long period of time seems to be the firm's approach on investing as well.

Dodge & Cox (Trades, Portfolio) was founded in 1930, by Van Duyn Dodge and E. Morris Cox. As of March 2006, Dodge & Cox managed over $104 billion in separate accounts and mutual funds.
In terms of investment philosophy, Dodge & Cox team is guided both in what they buy and what they sell by an ongoing search for superior relative value, steering clear of popular choices that come at a price they would rather not pay. Investing when valuations are low creates greater potential for capital appreciation. They look to be long-term owners of companies whose current valuations don't reflect their long-term earnings and cash-flow prospects.Continue Reading »

Since American Pie first hit cinemas and coined a new term, America has been infatuated with MILFs (Mothers I'd Like to Fuck). The women of 50 Plus MILFs never entered the public discussion, though, and not because they're not sexy enough. Take one look inside this Score Group hardcore site and you'll see women far above your own age enjoying things of which even you've never managed to partake. Simply put, 50 Plus MILFs has MILFs-a-plenty, but problems a-plenty, too.
Turning 60 shouldn't incur weeping and mourning for your sex life. Just take a look at the lusty old ladies of 60 Plus MILFs and you'll be convinced that your sixties needn't be completely sexless. In fact, if these vivacious elderly dames are any indication, it could be a decade that brings new and exciting things into your universe. 60 Plus MILFs isn't a particularly great site, but it does bode well for its aging audience: turns out there is a sex life after 59.
Some guys fantasize about 18-year-old bikini models. Some guys fantasize about nuns. Some guys long to fuck an African, Asian, Armenian, or Aruban. Some guys, like the members of Old Nanny, on the other hand, dream of sliding into the craggy vaginal ravine that is mature (very, very mature) pussy. Old Nanny's cock-suckers and lesbians give it their best shot in HD hardcore encounters, but can they match up to the very impressive pornstars of today?
Whether or not you often find yourself ogling women substantially older than yourself or keep your relationships, however fleeting, in your own age group, Old Spunkers would like a world with you, horny lil' whippersnapper. Making a bold claim for aged adult performers, some of whom are old hands at this fucking-on-film thing, some of whom are newcomers to porn, Old Spunkers at the very least shows that a woman should never be sexually discounted because of advanced age. Call it experience if you like, but however you slice it, these Old Spunkers are great lays.
Any porn network calling itself Best Amateur Network better be able to support such a lofty self-appointed moniker. Take Best Amateur Network, the subject of this review, for example: it's a 17-site network loaded (though not exactly heavily) with amateur and semi-pro BBW, granny, and teen porn straight out of Eastern Europe. Will you understand what the grannies are saying? Will you recognize the beer brands and bar food seen in Fatty Pub's scenes? Will you find one woman, let alone dozens, that fill your heart and head with lustful desire and the need to spend nearly $40-a-month on Best Amateur Network? Unless you're a devoted BBW-banger, granny-ogler, or mother-fucker, I honestly kinda doubt it.

The D.C. fire department unveiled a new highly restrictive social media policy Monday that bans department employees from taking photos or video of fire or accident scenes while on the job and from transmitting such images to the media or other organizations.
The policy could also put the kibosh on the firefighter union's Twitter account, which provides details about the department's responses to the scenes of violent crimes, fires and accidents.
The department's policy, released late Monday, is part of a wider effort to create consistent social media policies across the District's public safety agencies.
"It was thought that they should really be uniform across the board," said Keith St. Clair, spokesman for Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice Paul A. Quander Jr.
Among the restrictions put in place by the new fire department order, employees may not release "any photographs, still images, video or audio recording of official Department activities" — a restriction that could further conceal information about department activity as the agency considers encrypting its radios so the public can no longer listen in.
The order states that employees are also banned from posting "images of any other Department employee or official Department activities on their personal social media pages," or transmitting pictures, depictions or a description of any crime, fire, or accident as well as any patients or victims.
Agency heads worked with the attorney general's office and Mr. Quander's office to draft the guidelines, offering input on rules that may or may not apply to their agencies, Mr. St. Clair said.
The police department, for example, allows members to take photos while on duty as long as these are for official law enforcement purposes.
Among the agencies adopting new guidelines, the fire department has had perhaps the most storied social media history.
In 2011, the fire department suspended its popular Twitter account in order to get a tighter handle on information disseminated about emergency operations. The account often provided minute-to-minute updates on emergency operations. Another agency spokesman, Lon Walls, later commented that "It's OK for parties and that type of stuff, but I'm not big on Twitter for issues of public safety."
Mr. Walls was later suspended after characterizing a firefighter protest against Chief Kenneth B. Ellerbe as "racist" on his personal Twitter account.
Many D.C. fire companies keep their own engine company websites, which prominently feature photos of firefighters at work. But photos taken by an employee at a fire scene stirred up controversy this summer when a photo of an ambulance that caught fire was distributed on Twitter by the firefighters union.
Union President Edward Smith said he hopes the new policy doesn't mean the end of the union's Twitter account, which began posting details about the department's responses after the agency's Twitter account went dark. Both accounts now regularly post about department activity.
"I don't know how it affects the union's Twitter account, which I think has been appropriate," Mr. Smith said, adding he plans to check with the union's legal team and the American Civil Liberties Union over the legality of the policy. "I think that's been a great tool. I think the public deserves to know."
Mr. St. Clair said the new policy isn't meant to stifle speech, rather to ensure information disseminated on social media about the department is accurate.

Perhaps the two main contemporary formulations of ethical naturalism – Synthetic Ethical Naturalism (SEN) and Analytical Descriptivism – seem to conflict with plausible views about cases where moral debate and disagreement is possible. Both lack safeguards to avoid divergence of reference across different communities, which can scupper the prospects for genuine moral disagreement. I explore the prospects for supplementing both views with Lewis's notion of eligibility, arguing that this can solve the problem for a modified form of analytical descriptivism, and for a modified form of SEN too (though perhaps more controversially). I close by considering the appropriateness of using the notions of eligibility and joint-carving in ethics.

The U.S. has been accused of blackmail by Uganda, after President Barack Obama's administration cut funding to Uganda and cancelled a joint military exercise.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - This action is a response to a new Ugandan law which criminalizes homosexuality, and Ugandan official Ofwono Opondo was not happy.
You can be the change that breaks the cycle of ignorance and poverty.
"We think it is simply blackmail," he said. "We have said it before, homosexuality is not a fundamental human right. In our own constitution, it is not guaranteed as a fundamental right."
On June 19, the U.S. announced that it had canceled plans for a U.S.-sponsored military exercise which was to be held in Uganda. Obama's administration also cut funding to the country and barred entry for Ugandans believed to have been involved in any human rights abuses.
In February 2014, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signed the measure that criminalized homosexuality, giving the guilty sentences of up to life in prison. This legislation drew immediate condemnation from much of the international community.
U.S. National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said that Uganda's legislation ran "counter to universal human rights."
When Opondo was asked if he thought America's position would jeopardize Presidents Museveni's chance to attend a White House summit of African leader in August, he was critical.
"The United States government should use that summit to engage with the president of Uganda through diplomatic channels rather than blackmail. Preventing him from attending the summit, that would not in any way cancel the validity of the law passed by Uganda. So, we think that continuous engagement is much better than blackmail."
Opondo claims that the U.S. did not formally notify Uganda about these penalties, and that the nation found out about them through media reports.

The Caffeine Shampoo for fine, brittle hair intentionally contains only weakly dosed softening hair conditioning agents to ensure that your hair style retains its volume.To improve combability, we recommend you use the Plantur39 Structural Hair Treatment, which contains important hair restorative components and conditioning agents. A caffeine enriched shampoo designed to prevent the exhaustion of hair production during and after the menopause.
Plantur 39 Caffeine Shampoo Plantur 39 Caffeine Shampoo is for Fine/Brittle Hair. It contains a natural caffeine extract which has been scientifically proven to protect the hair roots from free radicals and DHT's and helps to improve regeneration. During hair washing, the active ingredient penetrates into the scalp and the hair follicle and begins protecting within 2 minutes.
About hormonal hair loss in women...
Until menopause, a woman's hair roots are protected based on high levels of female hormones (estrogen). After menopause, these hormone levels will decline and the impact of male hormones will increase.
The consequence:
The hair will grow thinner, fall out prematurely, and the scalp will become visible.
The caffeine in these shampoos prevent the hormone-induced exhaustion of hair production. During hair washing, the active ingredient penetrates all the way into the hair follicle (detectable after 120 seconds). The hereditary hair loss pattern in men is caused by testosterone (DHT), which weakens hair follicles, slows down hair production and finally, the hair falls out. In women, the same biological process starts to happen once testosterone increases, although not as severe.
Plantur 39 Contains:
Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Laureth-2, Panthenol, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, Caffeine, Propylene Glycol, PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate, Parfum, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Potassium Sorbate, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Polyquaternium-7, Camellia Sinensis Extract, Hexyl Cinnamal, Sodium Benzoate, Zinc PCA, Niacinamide, Limonene, Linalool, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben.


text: Humans of Montpelier This October, the book Humans of New York: Stories will be published. It's the follow-up book to the best-selling "Humans of New York" photography book. This book includes photographs and quotes from inhabitants of New York City and builds from the popular blog and Facebook page. We'd like help from the Montpelier community to create Humans of Montpelier. We are looking for submissions of pictures and stories from our own little city to display in our store in October. The Idea is to photograph people you'd pass on the street and document everyday life in the city. Here are the details: We're looking for photos taken in Montpelier, with a quote - we don't need people's names, but we do need them to say something about the photograph / themselves / the place where they're being photographed / etc. Please e-mail the photograph and text to Bear Pond Books by October 16th at 5:00 pm. Use firstname.lastname@example.com and please (this is important) put HUMANS OF MONTPELIER in the subject line so we don't miss it. The photographs and text will be printed and on display in the store starting October 21st and will be featured during Moonlight Madness (October 22nd). We have a few copies of Humans of New York Stories that we'll give out to some of our favorite submissions. Thank you for your participation in this project and for sharing the invitation to others who might be interested. Read more about Humans of Montpelier

ESPN: Reid, Chiefs 'on verge of a deal'
Arizona Cardinals coaching candidate Andy Reid is on the verge of a deal with the Kansas City Chiefs according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter.
Mortensen spoke with Mike & Mike on Arizona Sports 620 Thursday and discussed how the nine-hour meeting between Reid and the Chiefs went.
"The Chiefs were trying to close the deal with Andy Reid [on Wednesday]," Mortensen said. "At this point I'm going to be surprised if Andy Reid isn't the Chiefs coach. Now, I've been surprised before, but there is a lot of activity there.
"Someone would say, 'why Kansas City over Arizona?', well one thing is in Kansas City, Clark Hunt the owner of the Chiefs, will let Andy build this thing how he wants it."
The Chiefs' general manager is Scott Pioli.
Mortensen went on to say that Arizona has "more clutter" than Kansas City and that he believes the Chiefs, who have interviewed at least three coaches, will be the first domino to fall of all the open coaching positions.
Reid was originally scheduled to fly to Arizona after his meeting with Kansas City and interview with the Cardinals on Thursday.
The Cardinals have talked with defensive coordinator Ray Horton, are still expected to talk with Reid and plan to interview Denver offensive coordinator Mike McCoy this weekend.

Since photodynamic therapy does not damage the underlying tissue, it not only allows for multiple treatments but also for it to be given prior to or following other therapies, and when radiation therapy fails.
However, there is not a consensus in research literature as to which treatment surgery, radiation therapy or photodynamic therapy produces the best outcome for voice preservation.
The current Henry Ford study focuses on 10 patients with early stage squamous cell tumors of the larynx treated with photodynamic therapy. The study assessed how well the vocal cords moved following photodynamic therapy.
Both before and after photodynamic therapy, patients underwent videostroboscopy exams, a state-of-the-art technique that provides a magnified, slow-motion view of the vocal cords in use. The technique uses a small, angled telescope inserted through the mouth or nose to measure vocal cord vibrations while patients repeat words or sounds.
Results were analyzed by a speech language pathologist and laryngologist specializing in voice disorders for vocal cord movement and vibration.
During the first five weeks following treatment, researchers noted a significant worsening in the non-vibrating portion of the affected vocal cords, which is expected, says Dr. Somers.
Ten weeks following treatment, there was a noticeable improvement.
"In our study, patients undergoing PDT demonstrated initial significant impairment in the vocal cord vibratory parameters of mucosal wave, non-vibrating vocal cold and amplitude of vibration as well as appearance of vocal cold edge for both the tumor and non-tumor side," says Dr. Somers. "Most notably, over the course of a few weeks and months, there were consistent trends toward normal vocal cord vibration."
Patients do experience minor side effects from treatment such as photosensitivity, making them more sensitive to light and susceptible to severe sunbu

Breastfeeding Around the World
By Staff
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends mothers exclusively breastfeed infants for their first six months to achieve optimal growth, development and health, yet globally less than 40% of infants under six months of age are exclusively breastfed. Chances are that if you're reading this article, breastfeeding is not a matter of life or death for your child. However, in many poorer parts of the world where water is not clean, food may be scarce and formula expensive, breastfeeding can make a critical difference in children's health, well-being and life expectancy. InCultureParent takes a look at the beauty of breastfeeding in pictures, together with facts and attitudes, surrounding breastfeeding globally.
