Title: I-Robots Present: We Are Opilec...
Label: Opilec Music
Release: 30th January 2012
Cat. No.: OPCM LTD CD 003
Format: Limited Edition Double C.D. / Digital
"I-Robots Present: We Are Opilec..." is a double cd project from Italy's Opilec Music released to showcase some of the forthcoming music from an imprint that is joyfully contaminated by Krautrock, Electro, House, Techno and Disco.
A fascinating release which takes in tracks and remixes from Giorgio Moroder (only incl. in the cd), San Francisco' synth punk act The Units, Swiss electronic pioneers Schaltkreis Wassermann, Orlando Voorn, Nemesi and Klein & M.B.O. and of course Opilec Music artists I-Robots; 'I-Robot Present: We Are Opilec...' is a varied and rare insight into some of electronic music's true innovators.
Kicking of with "Last Call" by Klein & M.B.O., the seminal Disco act who are credited as being one of House Music's earliest creators, "I-Robots Present: We Are Opilec..." is a treasure trove of old and new.
The disco keeps on rolling in with Todd Terje's rousing version of The Units "High Pressure Days" and I-Robots' re-edit of Schaltkreis Wassermann and Nemesi but the progression of CD1 keeps things fresh throughout.
From the synth heavy and Cosmic (Beppe Loda) to the abstract and beatless (Stuart "Dominatrix" Argabright's o13 band) the spirit and range and influence of Italo-Disco is wonderfully presented.
From the emotive melodies of Pour Le Plaisir to the mid tempo Disco/House swagger of closing track "Socci" by Patrick Di Stefano, CD2 takes things in a decidedly more Electronic, futurist direction that injects Techno, House and Electro into the overall project.
Stripped, ponderous Chicago House & Detroit Techno (Federico Gandin's 'Legion Of The Lost Dreams' – a taster of his forthcoming LP for Opilec Music) and its brasher, harder cousin (Eduardo De La Calle) feature while more abstract vibes such as Orlando Voorn's Hi-Tech Dub and Vaghe Stelle's drone fuelled analog tapestry provide firm evidence of the label's uniqueness.
Even at it's most contemporary sounding in tracks like "Blue Skies" (Stefny Winter) and "Life Cycles" by Danny Ocean, this compilation always an absorbing listen.
Complete with artwork from Japanese painter Tamami Saito "I-Robots Present: We Are Opilec..." is a superb compilation that delivers genuinely interesting takes on modern Electronic Music as well as throws up some of its unsung heroes and catalytic artists.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) -- Tony Stewart pulled out of the NASCAR race at Watkins Glen Sunday, 12 hours after the three-time champion struck and killed a sprint car driver who had climbed from his car and was on the darkened dirt track trying to confront Stewart during a race in upstate New York.

 Greg Zipadelli, competition director for Stewart-Haas Racing, said at a news conference that Stewart "feels strongly" about not racing Sunday following Kevin Ward Jr.'s fatal accident. The decision was an about-face for the organization, which had said when the track opened that Stewart would be behind the wheel of his No. 14 Chevrolet when the green flag waved.

 "We gave Tony some time to sleep on it. He feels strongly this is the right thing to do," Zipadelli said. "All you can do is what you feel is right, and we feel this is right. We get through today and do it the best we can as a group.

 "He's going through a tough time. It's emotional for him."

 Regan Smith will drive Stewart's car instead.

 Ward had crashed following contact with Stewart one lap earlier and got out of his car as it was stopped along the fence. Video of the incident showed Ward walking from his crashed car onto the racing surface as cars circled by, and, as he gestured at Stewart's passing car, he was struck.

 Authorities questioned Stewart but said no criminal charges were imminent. Stewart traveled to Watkins Glen International following police questioning.

 Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero said Stewart was "visibly shaken" and had been cooperative in the investigation. Authorities were asking spectators and others to turn over any video they recorded of the crash.

 "This is right now being investigated as an on-track crash and I don't want to infer that there are criminal charges pending," Povero said. "When the investigation is completed, we will sit down with the district attorney and review it. But I want to make it very clear: there are no criminal charges pending at this time."

 A witness said it appeared Ward was trying to confront Stewart, the three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion. The video showed Ward standing to the right of Stewart's familiar No. 14 car, which seemed to kick out from the rear and hit him.

 Moments earlier, Ward and Stewart were racing side-by-side for position as they exited a turn. Ward was on the outside when Stewart, on the bottom, seemed to slide toward Ward's car and crowd him toward the wall. The rear tire of Stewart's car appeared to clip the front tire of Ward's car, and Ward spun into the fence.

 Povero said Ward, who was wearing a black firesuit and black helmet, had walked into the racing area and one car swerved to avoid him before he was struck by Stewart.

 "The next thing I could see, I didn't see (the other driver) anymore," witness Michael Messerly said. "It just seemed like he was suddenly gone."

 A spokesman for Stewart's racing team called Ward's death a "tragic accident."

 The dirt track, about 30 miles southeast of Rochester, canceled the remainder of the race and later posted a message on its Facebook page encouraging fans to "pray for the entire racing community of fans, drivers, and families."

 Ward's website said he began racing go-karts in 1998 at age 4, but didn't start driving sprint cars until 2010. The 20-year-old from Port Leyden, New York, was Empire Super Sprint rookie of the year in 2012 and this year was his fifth season racing the Empire Super Sprints.

 Stewart often competes in extracurricular events like the race on Saturday. The multimillionaire is known to participate in races with purses worth less than $3,000 and drive alongside drivers of varying ages and talent levels.

 The crash Saturday came almost exactly a year after Stewart suffered a compound fracture to his right leg in a sprint car race in Iowa. The injury cost him the second half of the NASCAR season. Stewart only returned to sprint track racing last month, and won in his return, at Tri-City Motor Speedway in Michigan.

 But the broken leg cost him the entire second-half of last season and sidelined him during NASCAR's important Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Stewart wasn't cleared to get back in a race car until February, the day the track opened for preparations for NASCAR's season-opening Daytona 500 began.

 "Everybody has hobbies. Everybody has stuff they like to do when they have downtime, and that's just what it is for me," he said last month following his return to sprint car racing. "That's what I like to do when I have extra time. I don't think there is anything wrong with doing it. I feel like there are a lot of other things I could be doing that are a lot more dangerous and a lot bigger waste of time with my time off do than doing that."

 Among Stewart's many business interests is his ownership of Ohio dirt track Eldora Speedway, which last month hosted the NASCAR Truck Series, and his stake in Stewart-Haas Racing, which fields cars for Stewart, Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch and Danica Patrick.

 He's struggled a bit this year since returning from his leg injury, and heads into Sunday's race winless on the season and ranked 19th in the standings.

 Stewart had been scheduled to start 13th on Sunday at Watkins Glen, one of just five remaining races for Stewart to either score a win or move inside the top 16 in points to grab a valuable spot in NASCAR's Chase.

 The site of Saturday night's crash is the same track where Stewart was involved in a July 2013 accident that seriously injured a 19-year-old driver. He later took responsibility for his car making contact with another and triggering the 15-car accident that left Alysha Ruggles with a compression fracture in her back.

text: 000 FXUS63 KDMX 272049 AFDDMX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Des Moines IA 349 PM CDT FRI MAY 27 2016 .SHORT TERM.../Tonight/ Issued at 349 PM CDT Fri May 27 2016 Negatively-tilted H300 trough axis currently over the Texas Panhandle will lift northeast tonight into east central KS, helping to fuel the next round of showers and storms for Iowa. At the surface, a broad surface trough encompasses the state with multiple embedded outflow boundaries courtesy of this morning`s convection. The break between these two rounds of precip will be short-lived, with the next round of multi-cellular convection already developing across eastern Kansas and western Missouri. Most synoptic and mesoscale models are in good agreement on the timing of this precip but are struggling with the overall areal extent and amounts. Leaned towards the 27.18Z HRRR and GFS with the placement of the heaviest rainfall/highest POPs. Axis of elevated H700-500 mixing ratios will lift north through Iowa between 00 and 09Z with the best chance of heavy rainfall over the southeast CWA. RUC/NAM/GFS soundings for Des Moines and west are rather dry below 800mb, lending further confidence in the heaviest rainfall falling in the east. Localized heavy rainfall will be the biggest threat from these storms tonight given the weak to modest instability profiles and weak flow below 600 mb. .LONG TERM.../Saturday through Friday/ Issued at 349 PM CDT Fri May 27 2016 The primary concerns remain the slow evolution of the current Plains long wave trough and the next northern stream long wave cycle toward the middle of next week. Potent short wave/PV anomaly should be right along the NE/IA border at 12z with fairly decent synoptic scale rise/fall couplet moving through northern Iowa. The high res models do not depict the areal coverage one might expect versus this degree of forcing, but confidence is still there that weak convection will be lifting toward the Minnesota border in the 09-15z time frame so pops remain high. Peak heating convection will likely follow, mainly over central and southeastern sections by afternoon as well. MLCapes looks to be in the 1.5-2.5k j/g range with only moderate deep bulk shear. Thus agree with SPC midday Day 2 outlook pulling the Marginal Risk back farther to the north and west. None of the threat probs are particularly high, but hail, wind and tornadoes are all still on the table depending on how much cells organize due to limited shear. Even non-supercell tornadoes are possible considering low LCLs and 0-3km Capes 100 j/kg or more. The potential should decrease into the evening with the loss of large scale forcing and heating with only low chances relegated to far northeastern sections into early Sunday morning. This will lead to a relative min and dry break Sunday into Sunday Night before the attention again turns upstream. Unfortunately the evolution of the long wave pattern next week is not clear cut with initially some timing issues with the surface reflections into Tuesday, and the degree of long wave phasing into Thursday. There is low confidence in this time window with individual GEFS H5 members leaning both toward the operational run and the ECMWF. As far as sensible weather, this would result in relatively highern confidence in weak warm advection convection crossing the Missouri Valley Sunday Night into Monday. This could potentially continue into Tuesday as well, but questions arise with regard to the proximity to the surface trough and potential low level convergence during afternoon peak heating. The faster ECMWF solution would be more conducive with the slower GFS less so and favoring weak warm advection precip lingering into the night with a farther west genesis region. The ECMWF would suggest precip exiting with mainly dry northwest flow while the GFS hangups up a drifting upper low through the Central Plains. Would tend to favor more phased ECMWF solution at this point with the GEFS and ECMWF ensembles pointing in that direction and although neither are great, the ECMWF has slightly better run to run continuity and passes the eye ball test better. Thus have keep only some slights going into the end of the next work week lending the GFS just a little credence. && .AVIATION.../For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon/ Issued at 1250 PM CDT Fri May 27 2016 Widespread MVFR CIGS with pockets of IFR conditions in moderate showers will continue through the afternoon with a gradual increase in CIG height as the showers push to the NE.

The 5th Avenue Theatre unveils a 2011-12 season that includes "Saving Aimee," a new musical written by TV personality Kathie Lee Gifford, along with such familiar shows as "Les Miserables," "Rent" and "Oklahoma!"
Get ready for a Broadway-style tent meeting: Seattle's largest stage company, the 5th Avenue Theatre, will soon present "Saving Aimee," a new musical about celebrity evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson, written by actress, author and "Today" show TV host Kathie Lee Gifford.
The show, which opens here in September, focuses on the life of McPherson, a renowned evangelist in the 1920s and '30s. This is the debut of a newly revised version.
Gifford penned the book and lyrics, and some additional music for the score by David Pomeranz and David Friedman.
The 5th Avenue's 2011-12 season will also debut another new musical: "First Date." Presented in conjunction with ACT Theatre, the chamber show by Austin Winsberg, Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner imagines the external and internal chatter on a couple's first outing together. (Dates to be announced later.)
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple
- Your vote counts so little in Tuesday's primary election, John Oliver joked about it on 'Last Week Tonight'
- Ivar's looks to sell, lease back two venerable restaurant sites
Most Read Stories
The rest of the season focuses on fresh versions of more familiar titles:
"Les Miserables," the blockbuster musical based on Victor Hugo's novel of the French Revolution, in a new 25th anniversary touring edition. Notes 5th Avenue artistic director David Armstrong, "It is an entirely new take on the show, with a completely new visual concept and staging." (Opens August 2011)
"Cinderella," which fills the winter holiday slot with a beloved treatment of the fairy tale initially created by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II for television broadcast. (November 2011)
"Oklahoma!," another Rodgers-Hammerstein classic, in a new mounting by Bill Berry. This show was set for this season but was postponed and replaced by the world premiere of the new Disney musical, "Aladdin," which will be staged in July. (February 2012)
"Damn Yankees!," the great Broadway baseball tuner, in a new coproduction with the Paper Mill Playhouse of New Jersey. (April 2012)
"Rent," the first large-scale, professional local production of Jonathan Larson's famed rock musical set in the early years of the AIDS epidemic. Says Armstrong, "There's a whole new crop of young Seattle talent, and this will be a great showcase for them." Berry will direct. (July 2012)
Since the recession, the 5th Avenue has held steady with about 25,000 subscribers, but "the dollars are down a bit because we've had to discount some tickets and packages," Armstrong said.
The company's 2009-10 season finished with a deficit of $1 million (in an annual budget of about $22 million), which Armstrong said was covered with cash reserves to keep the organization debt-free.
But box-office sales have been a bit more robust for the 2010-11 season, he stressed, with especially strong tallies for recent 5th Avenue runs of "In the Heights" and "A Christmas Story." The company will end its current season with the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical "Next to Normal," and Disney's "Aladdin."

The Freedom Schools: Concept and Organization, No. 2, 1965
Professor Lynd directed the Freedom Schools during the 1964 Mississippi Summer Project. He continues an active life in Youngstown, Ohio.
. . . Before presenting the program of the Mississippi Freedom School Convention, let me try to convey a little of the feel of the occasion. Delegates were to arrive in Meridian the evening of Friday, August 7. On Thursday I drove up from Jackson with Luis Perez, who was trying to start a Freedom School in Neshoba County, where the three men had been killed. The housing committee placed us in a home just across the street from the Meridian Freedom School. It had no bathroom of any kind. At one in the morning we were awakened by Mark and Betty Levy, the able and indefatigable coordinators of the school, and members of the student planning committee. This was the week that the bodies of the three missing men were found. The Negro community of Meridian, we learned, had planned

The last time I was in my LBS (where I bought my bike) I showed the mechanic one thing that looked to me suspicious: When I lift the rear wheel in the air (by holding the saddle in one hand) and pedal with the other hand so the wheel turns fast, the wheel is "pulsating" -- pulling up and down. It's not very strong, but quite noticeable. The mechanic told that it's nothing, just "wheel imperfection".
I'm not sure he's right. I also hear clicking noise when riding the bike and it seems coming from the rear wheel. When they put the bike on workstand in the shop, no noise. The mechanic and even the shop owner took the bike for ride around the block and as they came back told me that they cannot hear any unusual sounds or noises.
Now I'm pretty sure about the clicking noise. It's not always there, but once I shift to 4th or 5th rear gear (while on the middle chainring in the front), the clicking noise is very obvious.
It's quite a new bike (I bought it less than 4 months ago). Maybe it's just matter of greasing the BB or the rear hub. Or it's related to what the mechanic called "wheel imperfection"? Not sure what to do about it.
Oh, I've attached an old audio tape-recorder with packaging tape to the seat tube and recorded the noise. Yes, you can hear the click-click noise very clearly in the recording.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance!

They say that time heals all wounds, but for the parents and loved ones of young people killed before they?ve reached the prime of life, the pain never really goes away.
The wounds of grief are still fresh for the families and friends of four Petaluma teenagers who died one year ago today. The teens ? all students at Casa Grande and San Antonio high schools ? were killed when the car in which they were riding pulled from East Washington Street onto Adobe Road in the path of a truck. Two other teens in the car were seriously injured.
It was not the first fatality involving teen drivers in Sonoma County and, unfortunately, it was not the last. Just last week, on Dec. 2, a 16-year-old Healdsburg girl was killed and three others injured when their car veered off the road and crashed into a tree. The 17-year-old driver did not have a driver?s license. The CHP also said that the driver and the girl who was killed were playing with the steering wheel, jerking it back and forth, just prior to the deadly crash. Over the last decade, a number of Petaluma teens have lost their lives in driving accidents ? and Casa Grande High School has endured most of these losses.
Investigators were unable to establish exactly why the 18-year-old driver of the car pulled out directly in front of a truck on that fateful Tuesday afternoon a year ago. Investigators did confirm that no mechanical error occurred, leaving them to conclude that the driver probably became distracted and either misjudged the distance to the truck or did not see it at all. Just before the accident, there were eight people crammed into the Ford Taurus. At the time of the collision there were still six teenagers in the car. Having that many teens in a car can easily distract even the most experienced driver, let alone an inexperienced 18-year-old driver.
While it is painful to be reminded of this tragedy, we think it is important that lessons be learned from it. Once again the message must be delivered to our young drivers that cars are not toys. They are tools of transportation.
Driving is not a right. It is a privilege.
Driving is dangerous. Every time anyone ? young or old ? gets behind a steering wheel they face potential injury and even death.
Accidents can happen in the blink of an eye. Caution is not only prudent, it is mandatory.
To get that message across, several programs about driving responsibly are being presented in local schools.
? Every 15 Minutes is a two-day program for high school juniors and seniors, which challenges them to think about drinking, driving, personal safety, the responsibility of making mature decisions and the impact their decisions have on family, friends, and others. The program?s name is derived from the fact that in the early 1990s, every 15 minutes someone in the United States died in an alcohol-related traffic collision. However, with the implementation of new laws, grass roots organizations like Mothers Against Drunk Driving and Students Against Drunk Driving and other programs, the death rate is now one every 30 minutes, a figure that continues to be unacceptable.
? Alive At 25 is a program that addresses the high number of traffic-related fatalities in the 16- to 24-year-old age group. In Colorado, where this program originated, drivers are required to participate in this 41⁄2-hour class to avoid waiting an extra year to receive their driver?s licenses. Taught by police officers, sheriff?s deputies and state troopers, the class is credited with a dramatic decrease in teen driving fatalities. Alive At 25 touches on driver inattention, distractions, driving at night or with too many people in the car, as well as alcohol and drug use.

 Software Defined Networking and 100G are hot topics at symposium

 Last week, I presented some of my work at the annual North America Technology Symposium sponsored by Adva Optical Networks, at the Millenium Broadway Hotel in New York City. Regular readers of my blog will recall that Adva is among the many companies who have publicly endorsed the Open Datacenter Interoperable Network (ODIN), which is IBM's vision for next generation data networking. While the Adva symposium was admittedly focused mostly on their solutions, there were many interesting presentations of general interest. The presentations are available here, but Id like to review the highlights in this blog.

 The symposium was a full day event, opening at 9 AM with a welcome from Adva's CEO, Brian Protiva, followed by a series of invited speakers. After lunch, two breakout sessions were offered for either enterprise or carrier networking (I chose the enterprise track, which focused on 100G metro and 16G Fibre Channel SAN). The day wound up with a Q&A session and dinner.

 First, one of the Vice-Presidents from Verizon discussed adoption of software defined networking to create what he called "service aware networks". He cited several examples of how carriers and ISPs can leverage SDN to grow top line revenue and provide value added services. We heard many interesting factoids during the day, such as how Internet content consumptions, driven by video, will grow 10X by 2017. It was clear that commoditized hardware and centralized software control were creating an interesting value proposition in this market.

 Later, my presentation dealt with using SDN to help manage the combination of exponential capacity growth and declining margins faced by many ISPs and cloud providers. In the past, networking was all about how quickly you could deploy, scale, and manage infrastructure to create value. Networking equipment was relatively feature-poor; a combination of low bandwidth, customer ASICs with low functionality and immature protocols in the data and control planes made it difficult to realize a higher value proposer. That's all changing; modern Ethernet bandwidth is approaching that of a computer back plane, flatter 2 tier Clos or mesh topologies offer better performance, and protocols like TRILL and OpenFlow coax more value from merchant silicon. In this age of network affluence, users demand a higher quality of service, including bandwidth and latency guarantees, turnkey provisioning, and application aware network optimization. This leads to a new value proposition form SDN networks; virtualization of the data center network and beyond is the next big frontier. This value doesn't' come with out challenges though. Current OpenFlow is driving us back to a centralized management framework, and scaling is an issue. The benefits of a flow switched topology are clear, however, and include standardized, fine grain flow control, rapid application deployment, and end-to-end performance guarantees – real value that clients are willing to pay for.

 From Michael Haley, IBM Distinguished Engineer, we learned more about how cloud computing is changing the world. Market dynamics are volatile; look t the world's 10 largest companies from the year 2000,k and you'll only recognize 2 of the same names on the list today. But the market potential is also growing; there will be over a trillion devices connected to the Internet next year. And smart enterprise CEOs are leveraging hybrid cloud in 60% of their installations (up from 33% just tow years ago). Cloud adoption is driven by workloads, and some analysts believe that a major section will be compute as a service, representing over 20% of a projected $55B market in 2014. Business analytics, social business, telecommunications, banking, mobile video, healthcare, and utilities dominate in different markets worldwide. In China, for example, strategic investments in "cloud cities" have been launched to support a major part of their current $4 Trillion, 5 year economic plan.

 Supporting an earlier assertion about bandwidth growth, the enterprise breakout sessions included a live demonstration of 100G metro Ethernet and a discussion of the power, space, and cost for such solutions. Using a network test set and traffic source, Adva showed how they can transport 100G over metro distances with appliances about 1 U high that fir into a standard 19 inch equipment rack. Various cable configurations and latency measurements were also made during this presentation.

 I'm sure by now you've got the general idea…Bandwidth is exploding in the metro area at lower cost than ever before, driven by new applications such as cloud computing and the promise of software-defined networking. Put on your shades, the future for metro optics looks bright indeed.

 Are you looking forward to high bandwidth optical links in the metro cloud, or are you just blinded by the light? Drop me aline or send me a tweet @Dr_Casimer if you'd like to discuss more.

 SDN at the NSF ECC: or, the latest OpenFlow research

 Guess I've been doing too much Twittering lately; for the acronym challenged, I'm talking about Software-Defined Networking research at the National Science Foundation's conference on Enterprise Computing, hosted at Marist College (one of the prominent endorsers of the ODIN documents). This past week at the Enterprise Computing Conference has been really interesting; if you've never been to this event, I'd encourage you to consider it. Among other things, I learned about several recent case studies on proof points showing that IT education can lead to productive employment, and about a free IBM service that connects people with System Z skills to potential jobs. While there have been a lot of good talks, I'd like to spend some time today going over Marist's contributions to software-defined networking and OpenFlow..

 For those of you who don't know what SDN and OpenFlow mean, beyond being some of the hottest buzzwords in the networking industry right now, you can check out the appropriate volume of the Open Datacenter Interoperable Network (ODIN) reference architecture for a detailed introduction to this topic and the problems it addresses. For those who just need a quick refresher, software-defined networking is an approach which allows the basic data flows through a switch to be manipulated through an external controller. It's an industry standard approach being led by the Open Network Foundation (ONF), a consortium run by the world's largest network users (Google, Facebook, Verizon, and more). OpenFlow is a relatively new industry standard which separates the data plane and control plane of a switch, creating flow table abstractions (in other words, you can match data flows based on content of the packets and perform actions associated with each flow match; if you don't assign a flow, traffic can be blocked or filtered using this technique). Optimal paths through the network are defined by the OpenFlow controller, rather than some proprietary software within the switch.

 One of the potential benefits of OpenFlow is that it allows you to innovate at Internet speeds, by just changing the software and not replacing or reconfiguring the switch hardware. There are still open questions about just how large an OpenFlow controller can scale, how many controllers we need, etc. Marist College has created an SDN lab which will contribute to the OpenFlow community, support research around SDN, and possibly support compliance testing in the near future. They are engaged with some large OpenFlow switch providers (including IBM) and some interested OpenFlow adopters (to be named later) to investigate use cases and performance limitations of the current OpenFlow protocol. Their current lab environment includes four IBM G8264 OpenFlow enabled 10/40G switches in a spine-leaf configuration, running under an open source FloodLight controller. These switches interconnect a server farm based on IBM x86, Power, and System Z enterprise servers. Many of the x86 servers run the VMWare hypervisor and the IBM 5000v virtual switch. The servers are connected via a separate Fibre Channel SAN to various enterprise storage devices.

 One of Marist's early contributions has been to create an open source FloodLight administrative control panel (FACP) that can be used for network administration. The FACP eliminates the need to write Python script to control the switches, thereby reducing management complexity. FACP provides an abstraction of the network, and a configuration application can be build against this abstraction. At the conference, Marist held a demo showing how this controller can provision quality of service and routing of Layer 2 & 3 VLANs in the network. Manipulation of firewall ACLs is also possible, and future extensions may include MPLS and other WAN related protocols. Ongoing work in this area is focused on creating a static flow pusher, which will allow a static programmable interface to write scripts which support flow tables across the network using the FloodLight rest API.

 Further investigation will include such topics as demonstrating multi-vendor interoperability under a common FloodLight controller, and exploring the limits of scalability and security associated with OpenFlow networking. Keep up with their latest work and see their presentation from the NSF conference .
