Fault Management
As already mentioned, fault management encompasses traffic management, topology monitoring, and routing management.
Traffic management is one of the keystones of successfully deploying services and applications. It encompasses a large variety of tools and features to follow the life cycle of new deployments: from traffic measurement to traffic analysis, before and after new service is deployed, from link management to node status, to end-to-end service-level management. A large part of traffic management deals with network troubleshooting, to provide in-depth analysis of traffic. Most of the tools can generate reports and alerts to assist the network administrator in identifying problems, isolating, and then troubleshooting them. Note that many tools used for traffic management are also used for performance monitoring, such as Argus and Nagios. These tools are reviewed in the section "Performance Management."
Flow Analysis Using NetFlow
The NetFlow Collector receives UDP packets containing flow exports from the NetFlow router and stores them. Flow content can be used for a variety of purposes, including network management and planning, enterprise accounting, Internet service provider (ISP) billing, data warehousing, mitigation of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, and data mining for marketing purposes.
NetFlow analyzers process the stored flows and present them in various formats (alerts, statistics, graphics, and so on). Often, these two functions are handled by the same tool. A number of NetFlow Collectors and analyzers are available, including several that support the v9 export format, hence IPv6:
Ntop (nProbe) Available for UNIX (including Mac OS X), Windows, and embedded environments, v.3.x.
IPFlow IPFlow is a collector that supports NetFlow flows version v1, v5, v6, v7, v8, and v9. It supports logging flow data to disk, data aggregation according to configuration, port-scan detection, storage of aggregated data in RRDtool, and graphical display of flow statistics.
Cisco NFC This tool is described in detail in the following section.
Cisco NFC
The Communication & Network Services (CNS) NetFlow Collection Engine performs the following functions:
NetFlow data collection from multiple export devices
Reduction in data volume through filtering and aggregation
Hierarchical data storage (helps client applications retrieve data)
File system space management
CNS NetFlow Collection Engine collects and summarizes (aggregates) data into data files based on user-defined criteria specified in a CNS NetFlow Collection Engine aggregator. An aggregator is an aggregation task defined by a set of user-configurable attributes that specify how CNS NetFlow Collection Engine summarizes the traffic flows that are received. Two important aggregator attributes are as follows:
Aggregation schemes Defines the subset of data of interest in a traffic flow, as well as which statistics are kept
Filter Criteria for accepting or rejecting flows that are aggregated or summarized
CNS NetFlow Collection Engine provides a set of predefined aggregation schemes to help collect NetFlow export and summarize the data. Moreover, in release 5.0, you can modify any of the predefined aggregation schemes or define your own aggregation schemes. You can also use filters with aggregation schemes to include or exclude certain types of NetFlow data.
CNS NetFlow Collection Engine consists of the following components:
Collector Collects NetFlow data, aggregates (or summarizes) that data, and filters specified data from supported Cisco routers and switches. Output is stored in files that are organized in an easy-to-use directory structure.
Web-based user interface (UI) The web-based UI is provided for configuration, control, status, and reporting.
CNS/XML interface The CNS/XML interface is used to send and receive configuration/control requests and responses and unsolicited event notifications.
Report generator The report generator produces hourly and daily reports based on collector output files by performing further aggregation of the records in these files based on criteria selected by the user.
BGP peer A passive BGP peer is provided to supplement CNS NetFlow Collection Engine output with BGP attributes.
Starting with NFC 5.0, Cisco NetFlow Collector supports IPv6. This means that it can collect NetFlow v9 records, including records with IPv6-specific fields, aggregate them according to the aggregation scheme configured on the NFC interface, and generate reports and alerts specific to IPv6.
The screen captures in Figures 10-6 and 10-7 illustrate one of the NFC configuration steps for IPv6 (NetFlow Export field) and show a simple IPv6 report.
Figure 10-6. Configuring NFC: Fields
Figure 10-7. Sample of an NFC report
For more detail about Cisco NFC and its IPv6 support, refer to the NFC 5.0 configuration guides.
IPFlow is a collector for NetFlow v1, v5, v6, v7, v8, and v9. It was initially developed for managing the Picardie regional network, but is freely available. The primary design goal was to provide a tool suited for troubleshooting networking issues such as link congestion of unexpected traffic.
It supports logging flow data to disk, data aggregation according to configuration, port-scan detection, storage of aggregated data, and graphical display of flow statistics.
Cisco Network Analysis Module
The Cisco Network Analysis Module (NAM) is a service module installed in a single slot in Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switch or Cisco 7600 series router chassis that provides integrated network-monitoring services within the switch or router. The NAM collects statistics on network traffic and is used for real-time traffic analysis, performance monitoring, and troubleshooting. The NAM monitors and analyzes network traffic using remote monitoring (RMON), RMON extensions for switched networks (SMON), and other Management Information Bases (MIBs).
The NAM has the capability to gain visibility into traffic from other switches and routers, whether they are sitting on the LAN or on the WAN. This is done through RSPAN and NetFlow Data Export (NDE). Table 10-4 reviews all possible data sources for the NAM. When enabled on the switch, the NetFlow data source becomes available on the Cisco NAM without any SPAN sessions being created. NetFlow can also be enabled on interfaces on remote devices and sent to the NAM for analysis. With NetFlow available as a data source, the Cisco NAM can provide information such as hosts and conversations, applications, and so on directly from the traffic analyzer or other third-party tools.
Table 10-4. Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series and Cisco 7600 Series NAM Data Sources
Data Source
SPAN and Remote SPAN (RSPAN)
Using the SPAN and RSPAN capabilities of Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switches, traffic from ports, VLANs, and EtherChannel links can be mirrored to the Cisco NAM. The NAM collects statistics on all layers of network traffic spanned to it.
VLAN access control lists (VACLs)
The Cisco NAM uses VACLs to capture or "filter" selected VLANs and WAN traffic (on Cisco IOS software only) to the NAM ports. Additional filtering rules can also be applied to target specific data flows.
NetFlow Data Export (NDE) local
NDE records offer an aggregate view of the network traffic. When enabled on the switch, the NetFlow data source becomes available on the Cisco NAM without the need to create any SPAN sessions.
NetFlow Data Export (NDE) from remote devices
The Cisco NAM can receive NDE from remote devices for analysis.
NDE records offer greater traffic-monitoring capacity because this data source is available (when enabled from the switch) without creating any SPAN sessions to the Cisco NAM. The NAM can provide information on the packets through the NDE records without having to examine each packet, and thus allow for more traffic to be analyzed. NetFlow provides statistics on applications, hosts, and conversations.
Starting with version 3.4, NAM provides support for NetFlow v9, making it an IPv6-enabled "NetFlow Collector on a linecard" for the Catalyst 6500/7600 platform.
Cisco NAM can monitor and decode IPv6 traffic. The user can set up alarms with IPv6 addresses and configure IPv6 capture filters and IPv6 historical reports. Figures 10-8 and 10-9 are NAM traffic analyzer screen captures, showing, respectively, an IPv6 packet decode and IPv6 traffic statistics per protocol and address.
Figure 10-8. NAM Traffic Analyzer
Figure 10-9. NAM Traffic Analyzer per Protocol Statistics Example Output
Although a NAM can receive and decode NetFlow v9 records pertaining to IPv6 flows, it cannot, as of this writing, create IPv6 flows itself.
Topology Management
Topology management is the network-management component that keeps track of network topology. The information acquired and maintained by topology management is important to other processes such as fault management.
In simple cases, topology management might simply keep track of system status (active/standby). In large networks with a large number of devices, it can include automatic discovery modules and a graphical representation of the network, with hierarchical views down to the individual nodes and interfaces.
Autodiscovery is done by an NMS to automatically map the devices in a network, to populate an inventory and to gain information on network topology. Autodiscovery is one of the interesting challenges standing in the path of deploying IPv6-only networks, and as such, is reviewed thoroughly in the next section.
As long as managed devices and routers are dual stack, the network discovery is likely to keep using existing IPv4-based mechanisms. However, IPv6-only devices are already being deployed, and they create new challenges for network discovery. To measure the difficulties of discovering automatically an IPv6-only network, it may be helpful to review existing mechanisms used with IPv4.
With IPv4, network discovery can be achieved by two methods:
By reading the neighbor cache in the devices, a cache created by protocols such as CDP, ILMI, and ELMI. This is generally referred to as CDP discovery. The following steps are applied:
- Start with seed device(s).
- Read neighbor cache from these devices from the MIBs CISCO-CDP-MIB, CISCO-FRAMERELAY-MIB, ATM-MIB.
- Explore the network by further exploring the neighbor devices.
By using a general discovery mechanism that does not depend on protocols such as CDP, ILMI, and ELMI being enabled in customer networks. This is generally referred as non-CDP discovery, IP-based discovery, or general discovery. The following steps are applied:
- Start with seed devices.
- Read routing tables from the MIBs (RFC 1213), and derive subnet information and the neighboring routers information from these tables.
- Compute the possible IP addresses in the discovered subnet.
- Do SNMP query for these IP addresses and discover the network.
Which mechanisms can be used in IPv6 autodiscovery? As far as the CDP-based technique is concerned, no change is required in the CDP MIB, but the cdpCacheAddressType object must report a new value (IPv6) for the network protocol (CiscoNetWorkProtocol). As of this writing, this is not yet supported.
With non-CDP-based discovery, typical discovery algorithms in an IPv4 network rely on information from MIB-2 (RFC 1213) and ICMP echo requests to discover all devices in a network. Starting from a seed router, neighboring routers can be found from the router's ipRouteTable entry in MIB-2. The values of ipRouteDest, ipRouteMask and ipRouteType can be used to find the subnets directly connected to this router. To make sure the seed router's ARP cache has entries of all the hosts in the subnet, ICMP echo request messages are sent to all the possible IP addresses in the subnet and wait for the echo reply messages.
The router's ARP table can then be queried from ipNetToMediaTable. This provides a list of directly connected hosts, layer 2 devices, and other routers. The same technique is then iteratively applied to each discovered router.
With IPv6, the neighbor cache can be accessed as InetNetToMediaTable, which is part of the updated RFC 2011 MIB. However, the IPv6 addresses obtained from the Neighbor Discovery (ND) cache are likely to be link-locals, if the router uses them to communicate with its peers. Such addresses are useless to the remote NMS because they are significant only on a link. The NMS requires a device-global IPv6 address for its SNMP queries.
On the other hand, unlike with IPv4, the NMS cannot remotely force an ND cache to populate entries to all nodes' neighbors. With IPv6, scanning all hosts on a subnet is out of question, given the number of possibilities (remember this was presented as security strength in preventing address scanning!); IPv6 broadcast does not exist; IPv6 multicast could be an alternative (using FF02::1), but it has link-local scope, and therefore will return link-local addresses.
That leaves autodiscovery with few open options. One of them is to establish some relationship between the link-local address and global address based on the relationship between the interface ID used for both addresses (see Chapter 2). Example 10-11 shows an interface where EUI-64 is used to generate the interface ID.
Example 10-11. Using the Automatically Formatted EUI-64 Interface ID to Tie Link-Local and Global Addresses
Router#show running interface Ethernet3/0 no ip address ipv6 address 2001:100::/64 eui-64 no cdp enable end Router#show ipv6 interface brief Ethernet3/0 [up/up] FE80::205:DCFF:FE65:9C54 2001:100::205:DCFF:FE65:9C54
After the relationship is established, the NMS can do the following:
Obtain the list of IPv6 subnets from the routing table of the seed router
Start a multicast ping (ping FF02::1) on each subnet/interface of the seed router
Retrieve the neighbor cache from the seed router
Derive EUI-64 global addresses from EUI-64 link-local addresses
Iterate on each of these global addresses to progress in the topology
Another possibility is to use MIPv6 capability described in RFC 3775 to set a flag bit to indicate that the router sending the advertisement message is serving as a home agent. When this flag is set, the router (if it supports that functionality) returns its global address rather than prefixes. The seed router still has to store this information in a MIB that the NMS can query.
Of course, you still have the possibility (recommended by many NMSs) to provide up front the list of addresses to be "discovered." It is not a friendly solution, but it is one that works all the time!
Integrated platforms such as HP-OV and CiscoWorks provide extensive capabilities for managing the network topology. They can autodiscover the topology, currently using IPv4 mechanisms or based on a predefined list of devices to discover.
Specific tools also exist, such as InterMappper and Nagios. InterMapper does not currently support IPv6, although it was used on the 6NET project to monitor the status of the dual-stack network. InterMapper is a network- and server-monitoring and alerting tool. It provides a real-time graphical view of traffic flows through networks, routers, and links. It can autodiscover the topology of the network if SNMP-speaking routers are present. However, the autodiscovery is entirely based on IPv4 mechanisms (SNMP, address scanning, and so on) and manually configured entries of devices to discover. InterMapper is available at http://www.intermapper.com/.
Routing Management
Routing can get tricky in large multidomain, multiprotocol networks. Routing management tools provide visibility into network-wide, multiprotocol IP routing activity, enabling network administrators to predict, monitor, and analyze routing problems. One of the most popular tools in this arena is ASpath-tree, which analyzes the BGP routing tables. Other tools can analyze OSPF and other routing protocol tables. Most of them are based on MIB (BGP, OSPF, and so on) and locally executed router commands.
ASpath-tree is a tool used to perform IPv6 network operation analysis based on snapshots of the BGP routing table on IPv6 routers. Originally designed to be used by an IPv6 site involved in the experimentation of the BGP protocol inside the 6Bone network, it now supports a set of features useful within any production IPv6 network that makes use of BGP.
Based on a single snapshot of the IPv6 BGP table, ASpath-tree automatically generates a set of HTML pages, providing a graphical view of the routing paths toward the other IPv6-connected domains. In addition, it provides pages for the detection of anomalous route entries announced through BGP (invalid prefixes and unaggregated prefixes), anomalous autonomous system numbers (for instance, reserved or private) in use, and a set of summary information, including the following:
The number of route entries (valid/total/suppressed/damped/history)
The number of autonomous systems in the table (total, originating only, originating/transit, transit only, private, and reserved)
The number of active autonomous system paths
The number of active BGP neighbors (for instance, announcing routing information)
An analysis of the network size, in terms of autonomous system distances
The number of circulating prefixes (total, 6Bone pTLAs, sTLAs, 6to4, others)
Figure 10-10 captures an ASpath-tree screen, obtained on the whole IPv6 BGP table.
Figure 10-10. ASpath-tree Output Screen
ASpath-tree was developed inside the TILAB's IPv6 laboratory and is available at http://carmen.ipv6.tilab.com/ipv6/tools/ASpath-tree/.
The Cisco router must be configured to accept rsh commands from the workstation that is running the ASpath-tree scripts. The administrator of the Cisco router must add the following configuration:
ip rcmd remote-host eric valbonne-router root ip rcmd rsh-enable
Polyphemus is a tool for exploring and visualizing the network. It can look inside an autonomous system and explore a network at the level of routers and their physical links. It can also provide inter-autonomous system topologies. Areas are explored by directly accessing the MIB of the routers with SNMP. The user can visualize routers, LANs, areas, and inter-area relationships. For each item on the map, a full set of information can be displayed.
Although it cannot support IPv6 as of this writing, plans exist to extend it to support OSPFv3, SNMP over IPv6 transport, and IPv6 MIBs. It is available at http://www.dia.uniroma3.it/~polyph/.
Analysis for Troubleshooting
Many of the tools reviewed throughout this chapter can be used to "troubleshoot" problems. The tools presented in this section are more specialized. They analyze in detail the packets exchanged between devices to help pinpoint specific anomalies. The NAM traffic analyzer reviewed in the section "Cisco Network Analysis Module" is an example of such a tool. Two more tools have become quite popular among network engineers: Analyzer and Ethereal. Both of them provide full support for analyzing IPv6 packets.
Analyzer is an IPv6-enabled traffic-monitoring and -troubleshooting tool, released under a BSD license. It can capture (and display) packets on both the local machines and remote probes. Analyzer can monitor the reachability (through a set of ICMP echo, a.k.a. ping, packets) of remote hosts, saving data into a database, and collect additional statistics. Alarms can be sent on unexpected results.
Analyzer can discover the presence of the active station on a local network, monitor station availability, and detect address spoofing (for instance, when the same IPv4/IPv6 address appears to bind more than one MAC addresses).
Analyzer can monitor the presence of TCP/UDP/ICMP "sessions" over the network, saving a database record for each session detected within a timeframe. A summary of the session is then saved into a database for later processing. Analyzer is available from http://analyzer.polito.it/30alpha/.
Ethereal and tcpdump are packet analyzers. Ethereal offers a graphical front end that enables the user to drill down in the information captured. They are used for network element troubleshooting, network fault isolation, intrusion detection, and so on.
Ethereal fully supports the basic IPv6 protocols and all TCP- and UDP-based application protocols running over IPv6. It is widely used to develop and troubleshoot IPv6 applications and protocols.
Figure 10-11 illustrates an Ethereal output, with details on a BGP-IPv6 update packet:

text: Tamar Kasriel: 'Spot the future -- it looks much like the present' Ideas Bank 05 November 12 by Tamar Kasriel This article was taken from the October 2012 issue of Wired magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online.Did you see that paradigm flash past? Just there, didn't even have the time to open it before the world had moved on. Today the constant message is that we are living through an era of unprecedented disruption. Change is multiplying and combining to push us to what may feel like the limits of human adaptability. However, even if the pace of change is now qualitatively different, exponential rather than linear, among all that is new there is still much that is not. Is there an alternative to the mantra of disruption?The disruption message sells. For example, in the introduction to their 2009 book Chaotics: The Business of Managing and Marketing in the Age of Turbulence, Philip Kotler and John A Caslione give a roll call of books which have fed the fear: Peter F Drucker's The Age of Discontinuity, Andrew S Grove's Only the Paranoid Survive, Alan Greenspan's The Age of Turbulence and Nicholas D Evans's Business Innovation and Disruptive Technology. As points of disruption appear ever more rapidly, companies have to be able to spot them at ever greater speed, trying to stay calm and centred while they advance like the aliens in Space Invaders.The people whose job it is to tell you about the future have to showcase a different Brave New World. Continuity, ipso facto, is not "news". There are indeed a lot of amazing things on the horizon. Just imagine what the world will be like when everyone has augmented-reality glasses or brain implants, or when there's a 3D printer in every home and we all get around in self-driving cars. But continuity is there if we look for it. In the examples above, we could frame them as new technological ways to fulfil existing needs: AR goggles let you access relevant information about your surroundings, such as maps; a 3D printer in every home is at one level simply fulfilling a desire for owning more stuff; we already enjoy some of the benefits of getting into a vehicle we don't drive ourselves every time we hail a taxi.It is by focusing on the continuity of human desire that we can best understand what the next disruption might be. The technology may be new but, except perhaps for the earliest adopters who eagerly look to go beyond the edge of their comfort zones, our needs and desires have inertia. We expect the technology to shape itself to us, to our existing needs and modus operandi. The new tech must at first disguise itself in familiar clothes -- skeuomorphs, the functionally unnecessary design cues given to new technologies so we know how to place them, such as the Kindle's aping of print. Only then, once it's found a place in the world, does a new technology start to change these needs, and our expectations of how they should be fulfilled. How can we unearth the continuities? Much depends on how we frame the data we have. If we work from the assumption that technology initially has to fulfil an existing human need to be widely taken up, then we can trace a logical thread from now to then, and see where we might go. If AR goggles provide a better way to deliver what we already want and thus become ubiquitous, then what might happen to the perceived difference between physical and virtual self? Could fear of 3D spam (just imagine) and the possibility of mass production of weapons on a local scale engender a new technophobia? Once cars are self-driving, how long will it take for the driver's seat to disappear and our notion of cars change to just units of mass transit, with "driving" becoming a sport like horse riding?It is only once a technology is embedded in our social fabric that it can start to change how we operate as humans. Human needs do not get disrupted, they evolve. If people are incessantly fed a diet of disruption, then the risk is that change and intervention are cast as the only sensible strategic options. But positing a world which is so thoroughly disrupted as to be unrecognisable gives people an excuse not to plan at all -- a kind of disruption paralysis. Instead, can change be framed as incremental and logical rather than disruptive? I'm not trying to deny disruption; many changes challenge business as usual. But good futurescaping should be about trying to eke out continuities we can understand and build on, not just provoke with the shock and fear of the new.

Becks turns down BeyoncéDavid Beckham turned down a starring role in the new 'Pink Panther' movie - to concentrate on his football career.
The Real Madrid ace, who is married to former Spice Girl Victoria, was offered a major part in the film, which also stars Beyonc�'© Knowles and Steve Martin, but he decided against it.
He said: "I had a lot of important games coming up at the time and decided not to take up the offer. I'm not sure exactly what the producers had in mind for me but apparently it was quite a good part."
However, the handsome star didn't rule out a movie career when he eventually stops playing.
He added: "We'll see what happens at the end of my career but at the moment I just want to concentrate on my football."
Rumours were rife that Beckham was set to quit football for a film career when wife Victoria claimed the couple were keen to move to Los Angeles in the near future.
She said at the time: "We are thinking about moving to LA."
Earlier this month, it was revealed Beckham had landed cameo roles in three Hollywood movies, in which he plays himself.

text: Eric Schmidt: companies shouldn't decide tax policies, governments should Business 22 May 13 by Liat Clark Flickr Defending Google's tax payments in the UK, executive chairman Eric Schmidt insisted the company follows the law completely and would continue to do so if it were changed. "I can't defend the international tax regime both your government and mine have created -- and trust me, I didn't design such an irrational structure. It would not be designed this way by a computer scientist." Although Schmidt didn't get to meet Ed Miliband at Big Tent, he was certainly confronted with his comments and accusations in relation to the company's tax payments.Channel Four's Krishnan Guru-Murthy relayed some of Miliband's harsher comments, to which Schmidt responded: "Google feels strongly that tax information should be done transparently. But companies should not decide what tax policies should be, governments should. And we're operating in a longstanding tax policy. We need to have conversation about this. We completely endorse the idea of a big debate at G8. What we don't want is to see tax quadrupled because of [repeat payments from] international taxes. Frankly, we have the right thing going on -- we absolutely follow tax laws of countries we operate in."There was no letting up, however. Holding its Big Tent event in the middle of the controversy meant much of Schmidt's time on stage was taken up with batting away tax avoidance accusations, which he handled expertly. "The way you transfer pricing and structure your company is a choice," said Guru-Murthy, "you're not just passive players, you've taken the decision to put lot of money in Bermuda, for instance"."Taxes are not up to Google," Schmidt reiterated. "If the international tax regime changes we will follow. But virtually all American companies have structures like this; this is how the international tax regime works. The fact of the matter is if we pay more tax in one area, we pay less somewhere else." "Is Google outmanoeuvring the government?" Guru-Murthy pushed."Governments have a lot more power than we do," said Schmidt. "We actually have to follow the law and if it changes we will absolutely follow it. We love the United Kingdom, it's a huge operation for us -- we're growing to 5,000 employees, have a huge development at Kings Cross and we work hard to follow the rules and try to make the world a better place. Google will continue to invest in the UK no matter what you guys do -- we like the UK citizens and in our view we provide too much good, and we love doing it."When asked if it would consider negotiating the amount of transfer pricing it engages in, Schmidt responded, "with whom would we negotiate? That's not how it works."Schmidt flew through the drilling with ease, only appearing cautious in response when put on the spot by a member of the audience who happened to also be a barrister. The barrister asked Schmidt if Google were interested in following the letter of the law, but not the spirit, explaining that as a barrister he often gets approached by accountants explaining how the firm can retain 82 percent of its profits by reorganising its finances in such a way that legally HMRC will only grab the remaining 18 percent (the letter of the law). As a barrister, this indivual is aware he should be paying the top bands, 40 to 50 percent tax (the spirit if the law). "We're governed by US securities law," began Schmidt, "and I'm concerned [abiding by the letter of the law not the spirit] would be seen from US perspective that you weren't doing the proper thing. "You've now exhausted my knowledge of international law," he conceded, "it's far more complicated because laws don't necessarily agree with each other." Push too far the other way, Schmidt insinuated, and Google would no longer be able to "deliver the tremendous value" it has been -- it would not be able to invest in the UK, provide a free service and hold events like Big Tent. "We can have less profits -- but that has a cost." The best part of Schmidt's cool and eloquent rebuttles of the day, however, had to be the well-timed slip-up, somewhere between evaluating Google's worthy contributions and its perception of the law: "Google is a capitalist country -- company!" followed by a characteristic Schmidt grin.

Angelo Grayson Smith, Jr. has reportedly confessed to the murder of his girlfriend Bianca Tanner, the Charlotte schoolteacher who'd been missing since June 7. On the night she disappeared, Smith told police she was intoxicated and the couple argued, but Tanner's 3-year-old son told police that he'd witnessed Tanner being hit by Smith.
Smith was arrested in Illinois for contributing to the delinquency of a minor as he left Tanner's son alone that night. In Illinois, he said that he'd fled Charlotte to be with family because he felt "threatened."
Smith was re-arrested once what is believed to be Tanner's remains was found in Charlotte's Steele Creek neighborhood. He was captured in a Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity T-shirt and police are saying that Smith's fraternity brother led them to the remains.
In a press conference last week, Charlotte/Mecklenburg police confirmed that the discovery was made after a "cooperating witness" provided them with information.
Smith told reporters, when asked if he had a message for Tanner's family, that he was "Sorry."
Tanner's family had been searching for Tanner for weeks, even hiring a private detective and setting up a Facebook page.

The cuts could result in longer security lines and fewer flights at Denver International Airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration anticipates that $1 billion of its $15.8 billion budget will be lopped off in the cuts.
"Think about what this does for agencies like TSA, customs and border control," said Marion Blakely, president and chief executive of the Aerospace Industries Association and a former FAA administrator.
A study by the association said cuts to FAA operations could mean a loss of up to 132,000 aviation jobs and a reduction of $80 billion each year from the national GDP.
Cuts also would slow the rollout and increase the cost of the Next Generation Air Traffic Control System, a satellite-based replacement to the current system.
DIA is finishing implementation of a major component in NextGen's system next week and is running full-throttle on its new South Terminal construction project.
"We've got a project at DIA right now, the largest in the city since we built DIA, that could be threatened," said Denver Mayor Michael Hancock.

It was a long drawn series, but I'm happy that we're finally done with "Rolling your own iPhone treeview control". To summarize the posts:
- Part 1: Creating a Tree Node Class - discussed about writing a proper tree class that will hold the data for a tree view control
- Part 2: Responding to the UITableViewDataSource Protocol - discussed the behavior that was required in the tree node class to properly display it in a UITableView
- Part 3: Creating a treeview-ready UITableViewCell - discussed subclassing UITableViewCell to create a cell that can properly display the appearance of a tree view control.
- Part 4: Putting it all together and sorting out performance kinks - talked about implementing the tree view in a UITableViewController class and removing performance problems from the control
Apologies to those who had to wait a long time since this series was started last March 8th -- it was hard to juggle writing about this control *and* writing the app that I was using it in. I hope the wait was worth it.
For those who wish to download the code for this series you can get it here:
If you have any questions about the tree view control, or improvements you wish to apply to it, feel free to contact me by commenting on any of the posts in this blog.

EM-5 Disable auto image review
Hi all,
Anyone know if it is possible to shut off the auto image review on the EM-5? I hate it that after shooting an image I see it in the viewfinder for a second; obscuring what the camera is looking at. When shooting birds I am constantly losing the bird because they are hopping around and I can't see them move through the viewfinder when I'm looking at the last image I shot.
I've gone through the menus half a dozen times but haven't seen anything that looks like I can disable this behavior.

On Thursday, December 20, the Local Policy Maker Group will have a chance to provide feedback on a new Memorandum of Understanding between Caltrain and High Speed Rail. At the meeting, Caltrain will also share preliminary findings from the grade crossing and traffic analysis study it has been conducting in recent months
The new MOU will be updated to reflect the "blended system" where Caltrain and High Speed Rail will share tracks primarily within the current Caltrain right of way. Following last week's meeting at the Menlo Park Public Library to discuss the MOU, Friends of Caltrain has written a letter to the Caltrain Board, HSR Board, and Policy Maker Group with comments.
Key issues are:
* Caltrain should be the lead agency for environmental review on the Caltrain corridor. With Marian Lee's leadership, Caltrain has done a good job at rebuilding trust on the corridor. It would be greatly preferable for the environmental work to be done by Caltrain.
* The old, inactive project-level Environmental Impact Report that the High Speed Rail Authority was working on prior to the blended system, which described a 4-track system, should be decommissioned
* Caltrain and High Speed Rail should list the things they need to work on to define how the blended system will work, including platform heights to maximize system capacity, and other business and operational terms.
Here is the agenda for the public meeting. If you are interested in Caltrain modernization, the blended system, and the affects on your city, and don't have a holiday party or vacation plan, come if you can. The meeting is at 6pm at Caltrain/SamTrans HQ in San Carlos, 1250 San Carlos Ave in San Carlos (near the train station).

In Archer's third season finale, the crew of ISIS headed out into space. For the fourth season finale, it looks like they're headed in a different direction entirely: underwater. Sterling, Lana, and the rest of the dysfunctional spy organization will be going submarine in the final two episodes of season 4. That was hinted at with the fourth season key art, but confirmed by the titles of those final episodes: "Sea Tunt, Parts 1 & 2."
The almost-risque title is a reference, of course, to the brilliantly named Cheryl Tunt (Judy Greer), Malory's absolutely insane secretary who also happens to be the heiress to a rather large railroad fortune. Why is her family name referenced in the title of the episode, though? Are her parents planning an undersea railroad (it's an idea so ludicrous that Archer could pull it off), or is it something else entirely?
Also, as the key art for season 4 also hints, you can bet that the two-part finale will be rife with references to creator Adam Reed's old show, Sealab 2021. Better brush up on your thirteen-year-old Adult Swim cartoons, Archer fans. Or just watch Sealab 2021, regardless: it's got Archer's same brand of banter-based humor, though the animation just isn't as fun.
No word yet if the season 4 finale will feature any major guest voices: season 3's finale featured the voice of Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston.
What do you think? Are you ready for another big-event-style Archer finale?
Archer's next episode, "Live and Let Dine," airs next Thursday on FX.

- Consider flood insurance, especially if you live in a low-lying area or anywhere near a river or coast. Standard property insurance policies may not cover flooding.
- Keep a copy of your insurance information somewhere other than your house or car, such as an online file, or with a friend or relative. In an evacuation you may not remember to collect all the right info.
- Make sure your belongings are insured and you have enough coverage. If you do not own your home, or have an insurance policy that does not include contents, you can probably obtain separate coverage for your belongings at a reasonable price.
Superstorm Prompts Insurance Response And Offers Lessons
ATLANTA, Dec. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Weeks after Superstorm Sandy slammed into the Jersey Shore, the storm has tested insurance crews – and taught lessons for homeowners and renters about protecting your home and belongings. To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/53683-assurant-specialty-property-insurance-catastrophe-response-hurricane-sandyAssurant Specialty Property, part of Fortune 500 company Assurant, began dispatching claims teams within hours of Sandy's arrival on Oct. 29. It was just the first wave in a comprehensive catastrophe response that will last for weeks, as the company helps its customers recover. Sandy produced strong storm surges, severe flooding and wind damage across New York and New Jersey, as well as a massive fire in Queens and a freak snowstorm in the Appalachian region. Industry damage estimates are in the tens of billions of dollars. Assurant Specialty Property crews have logged thousands of damage claims from Sandy, and have been working seven days a week to assess damages and make payment arrangements. "This is what our people plan for and train for," said Gene Mergelmeyer, president and chief executive officer of Assurant Specialty Property. "In a very real sense, this is why we and any other insurance company are here: to assess damages and pay claims when people need us." As it has done in previous disasters, Assurant Specialty Property quickly began reaching out – contacting thousands of customers even before they called in. Early-arriving mobile teams provided assistance to more than 500 customers at their homes, beginning the claims process. Many others returned to their homes to find cards indicating that an Assurant first responder had already stopped by. Assurant has also reached out to help the region, including donations of $100,000 to the American Red Cross for emergency relief efforts, $25,000 to the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City, and $10,000 each to the Community Food Bank of New Jersey and the Food Bank for New York City. According to insurance experts at Assurant Specialty Property, Sandy offers lessons for homeowners and renters alike:

Retailers predict new workers for Santa's workshop
TALLAHASSEE -- Florida's retailers are predicting an increase in holiday sales over last year, the Florida Retail Federation reported Tuesday.
The federation is estimating a 3 percent to 3.5 percent bump over last year's sales in Florida, higher than the national prediction, which is an increase of 2.8 percent. The Retail Federation is also predicting that stores will add about 35,000 retail jobs in the months of November and December.
"Santa is going to be busy this year, and he's hiring plenty of elves," said Rick McAllister, president and CEO of the Florida Retail Federation. "For the past two years now, retail sales have been trending up. That's a sign that we're getting back to a normal growth cycle, and that has made retailers more confident in their hiring. We're looking forward to a strong holiday shopping season."

Boise State had little resistance from Southern Miss in winning its 39th consecutive regular season home game, and Arkansas State rallied from 25 points down to defeat Memphis in a pair of non-conference Thursday night games.
Boise State's 38-16 romp was far more lopsided than the final score, or stats, indicate. Southern Miss had three points and a fumble on its first four possessions while Boise State scored touchdowns on its first two drives. The Broncos opened up a 28-3 lead in the second quarter, but the Golden Eagles managed to climb back to within 28-16 in the third. However, they would get no closer. Boise State out-gained Southern Miss 506-317 for the night.
Arkansas State and Memphis were originally scheduled to play on September 8th, but that game was postponed due to heavy storms and lightning. The Indians managed to survive another storm Thursday night when Memphis struck like lightning in the first half and racked up a 31-6 lead. The second half was an entirely different story.
In less than fifteen minutes, Arkansas State struck for 29 unanswered points to wipe out the 25-point deficit. The rally began with an 89-yard punt return with 8:15 to play in the third quarter. Three touchdown passes followed and the Indians had their first lead with 7:52 left to go in the game. The Tigers drove to the ASU 30-yard line on the ensuing possession but turned the ball over on downs and Arkansas State held on for a 35-31 win.
Since winning the 2005 Motor City Bowl, Memphis has managed just one victory in its last 14 games against bowl subdivision teams.

The New Gaffe
How the Republican presidential candidates are benefiting from their "gaffes": They're not unforgivable, just imprudent.
If I am right about this, it would go some way to explaining the huge effect that a non-gaffe can sometimes have. You know the sort of thing I mean: Howard Dean's Bates Motel squawk was nothing in literal terms when set beside Perry's monumental self-sabotage. But the fact was that people did think they had detected a "contents under pressure" streak in Dean, and this looked like its blazing occurrence at twilight's last gleaming. In similar or related ways, Al Gore didn't really claim to have invented the Internet or been the whole inspiration for Love Story; Dan Quayle never expressed surprise that they didn't speak Latin in Latin America (it would have been a highly ingenious blunder for him to have made); and Gov. Jerry Brown and the word "moonbeam" have no obvious connection of any sort. But somehow there seemed plausibility—for quite other reasons—to the insinuations. And that's often enough. One day I'll make a fortune by discovering who is on the committee that decides as between gaffes and terminal screw-ups, and then by discovering how one gets to join said committee. Someone must know.
Ross Douthat has almost claimed to be one of those people. In a column in the New York Times last month, he posited an actuarial reason to keep the Republican field of candidates as full, and as open, as humanly possible: Romney has already won. So no need to disqualify any of the lesser candidates with terminal screw-ups. But—and here is where Douthat's column gets rather clever—Romney isn't necessarily going to wrap it up soon, and neat, and tight, because my great profession cannot yet bear to declare him victorious. My profession (or craft or racket) is not alone in this reluctance. We must also consider the pollsters, the farmers, and tenders of focus groups, the producers of candidate debates, the places where they sing and where new and aspirant pundits are constantly being grown, like exotic outgrowths on a moistened sponge in the dark. (You understand that I am here offering only a rough précis of Douthat's more rigorous presentation.)
Reflecting on this, there seems more grist to it now than there did then. Can anyone imagine a member of the male sex making a bigger hash of a harassment charge that Herman Cain has recently done? Or causing himself to look more like an ignorant fool than did Cain when given—with ample notice—a chance to review and criticize the president's policy in Libya? And yet there he still, inarguably, is. Moving up the mental scale a bit, it must be a while since the contrast between a candidate and his two positions on an issue were as wildly at odds as those of Newt Gingrich and Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae. Sliding down a snake or two, Michele Bachmann has continued to amaze with every opportunity given her. Mounting a ladder only to get a view of some dismaying serpents, one scans a briefing by "Republican strategist" Alex Castellanos in which he seems to suggest that a Sarah Palin endorsement of Newt Gingrich could be offset only by an immediate declaration of Mike Huckabee for Mitt!
Forced to look at this picture for a quaking second or two, one sort of understands why it is that people want to buy time, and to keep the warm and reassuring pack together. This would probably lead to an America where calm Mormon management would seem suddenly "normal." It remains to be seen whether such a weird outcome would be worth a decline in the real currency of the gaffe.

First Clown
Well i bought my first fish, a clownfish.
Day 2 seems to be doing good. Eating fine and all.
Not sure if its just because new tank and all but he seems to be sticking in the corner along the silicon.
Wondering maybe if it reminds of a anemone? he was in a tank with one and another clown..
Or just random clownfish behaviour?
I probably should have bought the pair right away but being my first fish in the new aquarium I wanted to make sure he survived before buying two.
sometimes when i get a new clown fish as in perculas or ocelaris they tend to not like direct or strong flow....he may be frolicing in a eddie....
I've seen your pics and you have a nice setup. No reason for concern yet. Clownfish do tend to behave a bit timid when no other livestock is in the tank. I would leave well enough alone and let the tank mature for another couple weeks before moving forward.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Jonesboro police have released documents and recordings that they used in their investigation of the death of a 21-year-old man who died from a gunshot wound while handcuffed in the back of a patrol car.
Investigators have ruled Chavis Carter's July 28 death a suicide. The documents released Thursday don't shed much new light on how Carter wound up in the back of a patrol car while armed with a pistol.
Among the recordings released was audio of Carter's girlfriend talking to a detective. She said Carter called her after police stopped a car he was in and told her he had a gun.
Jonesboro Police Chief Michael Yates has said his officers should have found the weapon.
Carter was frisked twice before being handcuffed for a ride to jail.

Up to 10,000 people who were guests in certain lodging cabins at Yosemite National Park might have been exposed to a deadly mouse-borne virus, park officials confirmed Friday as rangers handled a slew of calls from frightened visitors.
Park concessionaire Delaware North Co. sent letters and emails this week to nearly 3,000 people who reserved the insulated "Signature" cabins between June and August, warning them that they might have been exposed.
The cabins hold up to four people, and park spokesman Scott Gediman said Friday that means up to 7,000 more visitors might have been exposed to the virus that so far has killed two people and sickened four others.
Meanwhile, more than 1,000 calls a day are coming into Yosemite's new hantavirus hotline as visitors frightened about the growing outbreak of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome call seeking answers.
"We're reaching out and they are reaching out to us, and we are trying in every way shape and form to be transparent and forthright," he said. "We want to tell people this is what we know. The most important thing is the safety of park visitors and employees."
On Thursday, the California Department of Public Health confirmed that a total of six people have contracted the disease at Yosemite, up from four suspected cases earlier in the week.
Alerts sent to state and county public health agencies, as well as local doctors and hospitals, have turned up other suspected cases that have not yet been confirmed, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"Additional suspected cases are being investigated from multiple health jurisdictions," the CDC said in an advisory issued to health care providers. The illness that begins as flu-like symptoms can take six weeks to incubate before rapid acute respiratory and organ failure.
There is no cure, and anyone exhibiting the symptoms must be hospitalized. More than 36 percent of people who contract the rare illness will die from it.
All of the victims confirmed so far stayed in the high-end, insulated "Signature" tent cabins in the park's historic Curry Village section between mid-June and early July.
Park officials worked quickly to disinfect all 400 of the Curry Village cabins when the outbreak first was detected earlier this month. When the outbreak was narrowed to the 91 double-walled insulated cabins, the California Department of Public Health ordered them shut down Tuesday.
Park officials said the double-walled design of those particular cabins made it easy for mice to nest between the walls. The disease is carried in the feces, urine and saliva of deer mice and other rodents and carried on airborne aerosol particles and dust.
As the busy Labor Day weekend launches and word about the outbreak spread, some guests were cancelling lodging reservations at the park. But Gediman says others on waiting lists for hardto-get accommodations are snapping them up.

- Abstract
- Biopolymers in a confined solution environment will be subject to long-range electrostatic and short-range van der Waals interactions. The interactions between two model poly(amino acids), poly-l-lysine and poly-l-glutamic acid, in solution with a Si-oxide surface have been investigated. The model amino acids were adsorbed, or covalently coupled, to colloidal probes consisting of a micro-sphere attached to a force-sensing lever. The methodology was based on sensing interaction between the probe and a flat surface through carrying out force versus distance analysis with a scanning force microscope. The framework of the conventional DLVO theory was used to arrive at a qualitative description. The outcomes illustrate both repulsive and attractive long-range interactions that will hinder, or promote, transport of colloidal biospecies into the region of attractive short-range interactions at the physical interface. Large 'snap-on' distances were observed for some systems and were ascribed to compression of the 'soft' functionalised layers. Those observations and measurements of adhesion provided insights into conformation of the adsorbed species and strength of attachment. The results are relevant to design and functionality of Si-based microfluidics technology.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has asked to change his lawyer in Sweden for the second time since he was accused of sex crimes in the Nordic country.
Lawyer Bjorn Hurtig said Assange replaced him Thursday with lawyers Per Samuelsson and Thomas Olsson, though he declined to say why. Hurtig last year replaced Assange's first lawyer.
Samuelsson says he has a long track-record as a defense lawyer in sex crime cases and a thorough knowledge of Sweden's sex-crime law.
Assange was accused of rape, coercion and molestation following encounters with two Swedish women in August 2010 but has not been charged with any crime.
On Tuesday he made a last effort to stave off extradition to Sweden from Britain by filing an appeal request to Britain's highest court.

A brutal stabbing in Greenville late Saturday night has left one man dead and a woman charged with his murder. Authorities arrested 36-year-old Jeanine Crandle of Greenville in the stabbing death of 45-year-old Johnny "Ace" Crawford at his apartment. Police say Crandle then fled the scene and left him for dead. When authorities arrived at the apartment, they found Crawford sitting in his neighbor's car, bleeding and injured. Authorities tell us, as of right now, they don't have a motive for the attack. Crandle is currently at the Pitt County Detention Center under a one million dollar bond.

Add the spaghetti to boiling salted water.
Meanwhile in a saute pan, heat the extra-virgin olive oil. Add the garlic, and pancetta, and cook for a few minutes. Remove the garlic when it is golden brown, and then lower the heat.
In a bowl, whisk together the milk, pecorino cheese, salt, and lots of black pepper. Separate the eggs, making sure not to break the yolks. Add the egg whites to the milk mixture, and mix well.
When the spaghetti is at the 'al dente' stage, drain well. Add the pasta to the saucepan with the pancetta, and remove from heat. Pour in the milk mixture, and stir for a minute or so. The heat from the spaghetti will cook the egg and thicken the sauce.
Plate and garnish each serving with an egg yolk* on top. Add the fresh ground black pepper and serve immediately.
Raw Egg WarningFood Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolk or whites and the shell.

Who would have thought someone driving a Honda adorned with a "don't drink and drive" sticker and a police supporter license plate would be chased down by the cops and caught behind the wheel with an open bottle of beer and approximately four pounds of marijuana?
Buddy Rhoden on the drug squad in Thomas County, says, "I think it was a great bust. As I said, we took three to four pounds of marijuana off the street, and hopefully it's going to lead to wherever this marijuana came from. I hope we can follow it back and maybe even find a larger quantity."
Agents are charging 26-year-old Adrian Mitchell with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and aggravated assault on a police officer because he rammed a patrol car in his attempt to get away, but agents want to know where this dealer got his rather hefty stash.
Kevin Lee, also a member of the drug squad in Thomas County, says, "It's compressed marijuana, so it's probably coming from Texas or Mexico. People get it in larger quantities at a cheaper rate out west. They just sell it to different dealers here in the area."
With the help of Tallahassee investigators, Lee hopes they'll find the main dealer. In regards to the car, you could have guessed it doesn't belong to drug runner Mitchell.

The Only Thing Worth Dying For: How Eleven Green Berets Forged a New…
by Eric Blehm
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Fantastic book that gives wonderful insight into what our military troops go through while trying to fight a war. Should be required reading.
Green Berets help Karzai defeat the Taliban and get blown up by their own people for their trouble
Karzai was brought to power by a little-known group of 12 men. This is their story. These are the guys you want around when things go bad, the kind of men that nations are built upon.
It is also a story of ham-handed bureaucratic mistakes (CIA and Air Force) and a terrible event that killed or maimed many of the men in the picture.
A trilling story about war and the good fight but also a touching story about brotherhood, loss and grief.
Elaborates on both the exciting part of war but also about the very, very awful parts of it.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0061661228, Hardcover)
On a moonless night just weeks after September 11, 2001, U.S. Special Forces team ODA 574 infiltrates the mountains of southern Afghanistan with a seemingly impossible mission: to foment a tribal revolt and force the Taliban to surrender. Armed solely with the equipment they can carry on their backs, shockingly scant intelligence, and their mastery of guerrilla warfare, Captain Jason Amerine and his men have no choice but to trust their only ally, a little-known Pashtun statesman named Hamid Karzai who has returned from exile and is being hunted by the Taliban as he travels the countryside raising a militia.
The Only Thing Worth Dying For chronicles the most important mission in the early days of the Global War on Terror, when the men on the ground knew little about the enemy—and their commanders in Washington knew even less. With unprecedented access to surviving members of ODA 574, key war planners, and Karzai himself, award-winning author Eric Blehm cuts through the noise of politicians and high-level military officials to narrate for the first time a story of uncommon bravery and terrible sacrifice, intimately exposing the realities of unconventional warfare and nation-building in Afghanistan that continue to shape the region today.

6Month Baby power vomits when poos?! Worried!
My little guy is 6 months old, and when he goes for a poo he powerchucks with incredibly force - its as though the strain is pushing his stomach muscles. he is exclusively breastfed. At 5 months he started going from regular poops throughout day, to once per week! I spoke to doc who assured this was normal as they start to use up all the nutrients. He then stopped sleeping through the night and i was running out of milk - he was always hungry! I started him on solids at 5 1/2 months - and the pooing started to become 2 times a week and now at 6 1/2 months its every second day. he drinks water too and has soft poos or thick/runny when he goes. When its a formed poo - he powerchucks anything in his stomach. he will do this up to 3 times a week. its scary - and the doctor doesnt know what it is, has anyone else had the same problem? Thanks so much

Hm. sounds like that's not the answer. There is another possibility-we all have a nerve that is in the bowel area called the Vaso-Vagal nerve, and when it is stimulated it can cause nausea, vomiting and even a drop in blood pressure. I wonder if when your baby poops it is stimulating that nerve causing the fleeting symptom of vomiting. That's pretty much all I can figure-it is a very interesting occurance, it's no surprise your pediatrician doesn't know why it's happening, and I could see why you are feeling befuddled! It sounds like your baby is pretty good to go other than this weird thing, so I wouldn't worry TOO much ;-) I'm glad GERD isn't a possibility-it can be very difficult to deal with.posted 11/11/2013 by Liakatiea
Thank you for your answer - I looked into GERD before ... but hes fine after feeding and doesnt have reflux and is gaining weight well. its just when he poos. Besides that he is the happiest smiliest baby.posted 11/10/2013 by OrionsMummy
Educate yourself about G.E.R.D. I think that may be a possibility. It happens when the sphincter muscle at the top of the stomach is not quite fully developed, and the baby's body has a hard time keeping it's stomach contents in the stomach where they belong.posted 11/10/2013 by Liakatiea
