Update – Robley Crash Victims Identified In Fatal Accident
Update: The people involved in Sunday's accident have been identified: 5-year-old Alajah Davis, 19-year-old Jerica Cawthorne, 1-year-old Jayden Cawthorne and 53-year-old Julie Ward.
Deputies say charges are pending in this investigation.
A crash in the 2100 block of Robley Drive around 5:00 p.m. Sunday afternoon leaves a 5-year-old girl dead and a mother and her one-year-old son in the hospital.
Lafayette Parish deputies say the 19-year-old woman lost control of her Chevrolet Equinox as she was driving north, spun into oncoming traffic and was hit on the rear passenger side by a Dodge pickup truck near the intersection of Longfellow Road. The mother is in critical condition while her one-year-old is in stable condition. The 53-year-old woman from Arkansas who was driving the pickup truck suffered minor to moderate injuries.
According to our news partners at KATC, the relation between the mother and the five-year-old girl is not known yet.
Deputies say both children had safety harnesses on; the one year was in a child safety seat. At this time it is unclear if the drivers were utilizing safety harnesses.
Routine toxicology tests are being conducted on both drivers and accident re-constructionists were on the scene documenting the evidence Sunday evening.
The identities are being withheld pending notification of family members.

The lights go down, the popcorn comes out, and every film gets a fair shake. If you're a true movie lover, you hope that every film you see is worth it, and that if you're dealing with filmmakers with certain track records, they just might surprise you. Every year has a couple of films that beat the odds and are, at worst, pleasant diversions, and at best crafty pop art mini-masterpieces.
We're going to go ahead and assume these 10 aren't going to be the films that surprise us all that much. The writing seems to be on the wall as far as talent involved, quality of promotional material, and behind-the-scenes gossip. There is that window of hope, however, and until the movie is released the window remains open, granting us the possibility that our preconceived notions are wrong, that there's a great movie hidden underneath all that negative chatter. We keep hope alive, but that pessimism is too strong to ignore.
Here are 10 of the most dubious-looking films of 2014.
HerculesWorst Case Scenario: This is a potential franchise starter for Dwayne Johnson, who previously had found success latching on to installments of the G.I. Joe, Journey To The Center Of The Earth and Fast And Furious series. But why was Brett Ratner entrusted with this gig? Ratner is the sort of guy you hire for your franchise when you have no idea what to do, as evidenced by his last two sequels: both Red Dragon and X-Men: The Last Stand operated at the level of a Saturday morning cartoon, the latter a particularly bad one. It's telling that once Ratner made those films, each series felt the need to follow them up with prequels, producers eager to make audiences forget what just happened. Ratner's exactly the type to have no idea how to deliver a no-brainer of a concept, as the beauty of Johnson as Hercules is bogged down by this being an adaptation of a comic book called The Thracian Wars, an attempt to make a more "grounded" and "realistic" version of, you know, the strongest man who could ever lived. Because Hercules is the one concept that NEEDS a dose of reality.
Best Case Scenario: You don't get to Ratner's position by being a complete and total moron. Well, hopefully. Maybe Ratner, considerably far into a surprisingly prolific producing and directing career, is able to get out of the way of the material and let Johnson do the heavy lifting. We're all adults here: we all like Johnson, the giant with the hundred watt smile who has shed his pro wrestling baggage to be an engaging and likable performer. Coming in mid-summer, maybe this will generate the b-movie thrills we all crave.
Release Date: July 25

7.15 Risk Management Policy
7.15.1 Risk
Risk refers to the probability of an event and potential consequences to an organization associated with that event's occurrence. Risks do not necessarily exist in isolation from other risks; as a result, a series of risk events may result in a collective set of consequences that is more impactful than the discrete set of consequences associated with risk events taking place in isolation. Risk is inherent to any activity. It is neither possible, nor advantageous, to entirely eliminate risk from an activity without ceasing that activity. The safest ships are the ones that do not sail, but that is not what they are designed for.
A risk is defined as Major when the combination of an event's probability and the potential consequences is likely to:
- Impair the achievement of a University System of Georgia (USG) strategic goal or objective;
- Result in substantial financial costs either in excess of the impacted institution's ability to pay or in an amount that may jeopardize the institution's core mission;
- Create significant damage to an institution's reputation or damage to the USG's reputation; or,
- Require intervention in institutional or USG operations by the Board of Regents and/or an external body.
Major Risks are a subset of the larger category of Significant Risks referenced in the Risk Management Policy. Major Risks are the most critical risks and must meet the definition of Major Risk as defined in Section 7.15.1 of this Policy Manual. Significant Risks includes Major Risks but also include less critical risks. The definition of Significant Risk will be detailed in the System-level procedures manual referenced in Section 188.8.131.52 of this Policy Manual. However, the level at which a risk becomes Significant will vary by institution given each institution's risk tolerance, resources, and ability to manage risk events. (BoR Minutes, August 2010)
7.15.2 Purpose
The Board of Regents recognizes that the proper management of risk is a core leadership function that must be practiced throughout the USG. The Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework shall be the accepted framework for USG risk management. ERM is defined as a process-driven tool that enables management to visualize, assess, and manage significant risks that may adversely impact the attainment of key organizational objectives. It is the responsibility of USG and institutional leaders to identify, assess, and manage risks using the ERM process. The successful implementation of ERM policies and practices can enhance potential opportunities to help achieve organizational objectives.
Some level of risk is not only expected in normal everyday activities but can be beneficial. However, acceptance of risk shall not include:
- Willful exposure of students, employees, or others to unsafe environments or activities;
- Intentional violation of federal, state, or local laws;
- Willful violation of contractual obligations; or,
- Unethical behavior.
Risk management decisions should be made after conducting a cost-benefit analysis; such analysis should take into account the potential costs associated with the identified risk should the risk event take place as compared to the costs associated with mitigating the risk. It should be noted that these costs are not only financial but may also include substantial damage to reputation, opportunity costs, potential litigation, distraction from core missions, obsolescence and others.
While it is challenging to properly assess some risk events prior to them happening, Major Risks that could result in significant long-term damage to the USG or a USG institution must be identified to the Board and the Chancellor as soon as possible. Acceptance of Major Risks must be at the discretion of the Board and the Chancellor. The System-level procedures manual referenced in Section 126.96.36.199 of this Policy Manual shall provide additional guidance on the timing and form pertaining to the reporting of Major Risks. Significant Risks should be identified in a timely manner. Significant Risks specific to an institution or unit shall be accepted and/or managed by the institution's president or the president's designee.
Categories of risks managed through the ERM framework include:
- Strategic Risks – Affect ability to carry out goals and objectives as articulated in the USG Strategic Plan and individual Institution Strategic Plans;
- Compliance Risks – Affect compliance with laws and regulations, student, faculty and staff safety, environmental issues, litigation, conflicts of interest, etc;
- Reputational Risks – Affect reputation, public perception, political issues, etc;
- Financial Risks – Affect loss of or ability to acquire assets, technology, etc; and,
- Operational Risks – Affect on-going management processes and procedures.
An identified risk may fall into multiple categories. (BoR Minutes, August 2010)
7.15.3 General Objectives
The purpose of the Risk Management Policy is to strengthen the proper management of risks through proactive risk identification, risk management, and risk acceptance pertaining to all activities within the University System Office and USG institutions.
The Risk Management Policy is intended to:
- Ensure that Major Risks are reported to the Board and the Chancellor for review and acceptance;
- Result in the management of those risks that may significantly affect the pursuit of the stated strategic goals and objectives;
- Embed a culture of evaluating and identifying risks at multiple levels within the USG and USG institutions;
- Provide a consistent risk management framework in which the risks concerning USG and institutional business processes and functions are identified, considered, and addressed in key approval, review and control processes;
- Ensure that institutions communicate Significant Risks to the USG level so risk can be measured across the System;
- Inform and improve decision-making throughout the University System;
- Meet legal and regulatory requirements;
- Assist in safeguarding USG and institutional assets to include people, finance, property and reputation; and,
- Ensure that existing and emerging risks are identified and managed within acceptable risk tolerances.
(BoR Minutes, August 2010)
7.15.4 Applicability
The Risk Management Policy applies to all USG institutions and the University System Office. (BoR Minutes, August 2010)
7.15.5 Implementation
22.214.171.124 Frameworks and Procedures
An institution-wide approach to risk management shall be adopted by all USG institutions. It is expected that risk management processes will be embedded into the institution's management systems and processes. All risk management efforts will be focused on supporting the institution's objectives. Therefore, each institution president shall develop a campus risk management framework and associated procedures that include:
- Formal and ongoing identification of risks that impact the institution's goals;
- Development of risk management plans;
- Monitoring the progress of managing risks;
- Periodic updates of risk management plans; and
- Reporting of risks so that Significant Risks can be rolled up to the System level.
126.96.36.199 Risk Management Methodology
Risks may be managed by using one or more of the following methods:
- Avoid (eliminate, withdraw from or do not become involved in an activity creating risk);
- Retain (accept the risk and plan for the expected impact);
- Transfer/Share (move the risk to another party by hedging against undesired outcome or reduce the risk through processes such as insurance); and,
- Reduce (control the risk through additional or optimized controls).
184.108.40.206 Oversight
Each president shall designate in writing a Risk Management Policy coordinator to assist campus administrators in maintaining the campus risk management framework and procedures. The Risk Management Policy coordinator shall have sufficient authority to ensure high-level management of the institution's risk management efforts.
At the System level, the Chancellor shall designate an executive-level position to oversee implementation of the Risk Management Policy across the University System of Georgia. The Chancellor also shall designate a Risk Management Policy coordinator to assist University System Office (USO) administrators in maintaining the USO risk management framework and procedures. The Committee on Internal Audit, Risk and Compliance is the Board committee that shall provide oversight to implementation of the Risk Management Policy and review Major Risks on behalf of the Board of Regents.
184.108.40.206 Accountability
Campus risk management framework and procedures shall be reviewed annually. Periodic reviews for compliance with the system wide guidelines shall also be conducted by internal audit or a similar accountability function. Additional procedures for risk management policy reporting and implementation shall be established in a System-level procedures manual. (BoR Minutes, August 2010)

Author/contributor: Marilyn M. Singleton, M.D., J.D.
Black history in American has certainly had its ups and downs. It's troubling when, for political theater, those who should know better fail to emphasize the inspirational stories that highlight the strengths of blacks and the humanity of whites. While it is undeniable that cruelty and suffering are part of this country's history, at some point it is counterproductive to paint blacks as weak victims of the white man's callousness.
There were always free blacks in America (including my family). Indeed, in 1641, Mathias De Sousa, an African indentured servant who came from England with Lord Baltimore, was elected to Maryland's General Assembly. The first census of 1790 counted 19 per cent black Americans, 10 per cent of whom were free.
Black Americans served on both sides during the Revolutionary War. The British promised freedom to slaves belonging to Patriot masters who served. Because of his manpower shortages, George Washington lifted the ban on black enlistment in the Continental Army in January 1776, creating his so-called "mixed multitude," which was 15 per cent black. Economist Walter Williams is so correct that necessity can overcome prejudice.
Nestled in the back of some folks' minds was (is?) the notion that blacks were not as intelligent as whites. They certainly couldn't have had the smarts to be doctors. James Derham (c. 1757-1802?), born a slave in Philadelphia, proved the naysayers wrong. He was the first known black American physician, although not professionally trained in medical school. As was common at the time, physicians were trained in apprenticeships. Young Derham was fortunate that his three early masters were physicians who taught him to read and write.
Derham's third owner taught the young teen how to mix and administer medicines. After this owner, who had been arrested during the war for being a Tory, died in prison, Derham was sold to a British officer, and he served as a doctor to soldiers. After the war, he became the property of a Scottish physician (appropriately named Dr. Love) from New Orleans, who hired him to work as a medical assistant and apothecary.
By 1783, Derham quickly saved enough money to buy his freedom, and he set up his own medical practice in New Orleans. Derham, who spoke English, French, and Spanish, was a popular and highly regarded doctor, who treated both black and white patients. By age 30, Derham earned more than $3,000 annually.
Derham's medical paper on his success in treating diphtheria caught the attention of Benjamin Rush, a physician who signed the Declaration of Independence, served as surgeon general of the Continental Army, and has been called "the father of American medicine." Rush invited Derham to Philadelphia in 1788 and was so impressed that he encouraged him to stay. There, Derham became an expert in throat diseases and in the relationship between weather and disease.
In 1789, Derham returned to New Orleans, where he saved many yellow fever victims. He stopped practicing medicine in 1801, when the new city regulations required a formal medical degree to be considered a doctor. Nothing is known of his whereabouts after 1802.
The first university-trained black American physician was James McCune Smith, born in 1813 to slave parents who were emancipated by New York law. Despite his scholastic achievements at the Free African School of New York, he was denied admission to American medical schools. When he was 19 years old, the Glasgow Emancipation Society helped Smith enroll in Scotland's University of Glasgow. He received his B.A. degree in 1835 and his M.D. degree in 1837. A skilled debater and lecturer, Smith was a founding member of the New York Statistics Society in 1852, and was elected as an early member of the American Geographic Society.
The first American medical degree was conferred on David J. Peck, born circa 1826 into a free black family in Pittsburgh, Pa. In 1846, after studying two years with a private physician, he enrolled in Rush Medical College and graduated in 1847. Peck practiced medicine in Philadelphia for 2 years before moving to Central America to start a homeland for free blacks in Nicaragua.
Thank you, doctors, for paving the way for my grandfather, my father, and me.

Ohhhh George, that is a very cool link, much appreciated. I read that the plan was to let it fall into orbit and burn up. I do not see anything being planned to take it's place....my reaction is WTF?
Humankind does have some really good ideas at times, unfortunately the current status of the quest for space has been overshadowed by the power brokers desire to make everyone think and believe the same. I guess they figure if we have a population of uneducated masses they will be able to control them better. Maria Antoinette found out how that model ends up. Atheists at least can reach for the stars without a fear of finding truths that interfere with our beliefs.

Punted Broad for Harris & D'oh-erty for Tremmers.
Torn between dumping Siddle and not too...
Changed Broad for Tremlett, North for Collingwood, brought in Punter on points. Smiling at Cook being rated "D" before the series, been top scorer by miles.
We are lost
We can never go home
Cook at D was always very underrated, first man on my teamsheet.

Swapped out Collingwood for Smith, Bollinger for Anderson and Doherty for Hilfenhaus myself
I've punted Siddle for Johnson. Cricinfo seems to be of the opinion Beer will play and the comically dentured Vic quick will be the unlucky man.
Sorely tempted to ditch Prior & Clarke too, but both prob due a score.
Replaced Hilfenhaus with Siddle, and replaced Smith with Bresnan myself.
Good luck all!

Gareth Bale's sensational season hasn't gone un-noticed in Germany. According to today's Daily Mail Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola is lining up a bid to rival the one that which is expected to come from Real Madrid in the summer.
The paper reckons that the ex Barca boss has a transfer war chest of £100 million and that he is ready to fork out half of that on the brilliant Tottenham player. Guardiola apparently has scouts watching Bale and reporting back to him.
Performances like that against Lyon in the Europa Cup are only going to push Bale to the front of the list of Europe's most wanted. The player signed a four year contract in 2012 and has so far hasn't had his head turned by big money transfer talk.
Bale said after the game on Thursday
'I don't take too much notice. I'm concentrating on every game and just hoping I can keep my form going.'
'This is probably the best I've been playing so far in my career,' admitted Bale. 'I'm enjoying my football and the team's playing well, which obviously makes it easier for me.I've just got to keep my head down, keep working hard. I've still got a lot of room for improvement.'
Meanwhile writing for The Sun ex Spurs and England boss Terry Venables says that Spurs ambitions must match Bale's if the player is to stay.
'I have heard some say that Bale will probably need to quit Tottenham to become a world great like Ron(aldo). But I do not think that is necessarily the case. It just depends on how good Spurs want to become. To be recognised as a top player, Bale will have to play at the highest level and challenge for trophies in club football.
He has previously expressed his desire to take on the challenge of playing abroad in the future. But there is no reason why he could not achieve world greatness with his current club.'

Thanks Scott for the link, just one more question - Can this be applied to web as well? Like having only a remote cache (store) ?

Not at the moment. Web/SFSB clustering currently uses an embedded replicated/distributed/invalidation/local cache. You can however, configure the persistent store to reference a remote cache (i.e. instead of <file-store/>).

NHIAA girls' hockey: Defense finally rests after Hanover wins titleBy ROGER BROWN
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 09. 2013 4:06PM
MANCHESTER - It was defense that allowed the Hanover High School girls' hockey team to go undefeated during the regular season, and it was defense that carried Hanover to a 3-1 victory over Oyster River in Saturday's championship game.
Top-seeded Hanover held third-seeded Oyster River to 10 shots on goal, and limited the Bobcats to two shots over the final 15 minutes. The Marauders allowed 14 goals in their 20 games this season, and posted 12 shutouts.
"We lost five of our top six scorers from last season, so defense was our first priority," Hanover coach John Dodds said. "I'd say it was our No. 1 strength."
Freshman Kelly Brigham scored twice for Hanover, which completed its season with a 20-0-0 record. Hanover's Julie Montgomery, another freshman, capped the scoring by collecting an empty-net goal with one minute to play. Sophomores Sarah Wagner and Emma Malenka each had two assists.
"I think the girls did the best they could," Oyster River coach Jamie Long said. "We couldn't generate sustained offense. You hope that hard work can beat talent, but they have a lot of depth. Every (Hanover) player can skate."
Hanover led 1-0 after one period and 2-1 entering the third.
Junior forward Hannah Herz-Kahn scored for the Bobcats, who finished their season with a 15-5-1 record. Sarah Lessard collected the only assist on Oyster River's goal.
It was the fourth consecutive state championship for Hanover, which has won five titles since the NHIAA first held a girls' tournament in 2008. Hanover also beat Oyster River in the 2011 championship game.
It was also the third time Hanover beat Oyster River this season. The Marauders skated to a 4-1 victory at home, and posted a 1-0 victory in Durham.
Oyster River's Emily Croot, a sophomore, made 33 saves. Hanover goaltender Katie Fenton stopped nine shots.
Brigham opened the scoring with a power-play goal at 10:36 of the first period. She collected a rebound just outside the crease and swept the puck inside the right post.
Hanover doubled its advantage when Brigham scored her second goal 1:01 into the second period. Brigham, who entered the game as the team's fourth-leading scorer, tipped Wagner's shot from the right point past Croot.
"(Brigham) plays hockey the same way she plays soccer," Dodds said. "She's really aggressive. Always on the puck."
Oyster River got on the scoreboard at 7:40 of the second, when Herz-Kahn found herself alone with the puck in front of the Hanover net and beat Fenton to make it 2-1. It remained 2-1 until Montgomery scored into an empty net.
"I think the girls played as well as they can play," Long said. "We just couldn't generate any offense, even when we shortened the bench. You run your horses hard and see what's left in the tank. They're just a very sound team."

*** (out of four)
If the "concept" behind Cold War Kids' "concept album" "Dear Miss Lonelyhearts" is returning to the California band's original sound--indistinguishable on 2011's "Mine is Yours"—the new record is a success.
OK, the disc actually is inspired by Nathanael West's novel "Miss Lonelyhearts," but CWK seems to have bridged the gap between 2008's brilliant "Loyalty to Loyalty" and the hollow, overproduced "Mine is Yours." A few outliers keep "Dear Miss Lonelyhearts" from being a thundering re-realization of the band's earlier sound, led by Nathan Willett's gorgeous and sometimes haunting vocal range and the group's ability to bring scenes to life in their lyrics. The peppy, forgettable "Miracle Mile" gets things off to a rocky start, as if to say, "This is the one they'll play on the radio, I guess."
"Lost that Easy" and "Loner Phase" follow, with synth- and electronic-heavy noise that falls short of backing Willet's always-on crooning.
The rest of the album, though, provides a nostalgic reminder of what makes Cold War Kids work. "Tuxedoes"—the record's highlight—offers a hauntingly lonely portrait of a stag wedding guest struggling with his place. A chorus of "When will I find someone to take? / Or did I find, and not realize I was a fake?" punctuates a sad and gorgeous introspective journey of the type of track the band does notoriously well. The remainder of the album doesn't let up, bouncing from the impossibly catchy "Jailbirds" to the subtle, piano-driven "Water and Power."
The album is less a concept and more a statement that the band is still capable of their earlier sound, and it's the striking difference between "Lonelyhearts" and "Mine is Yours" that makes the refreshing return to CWK's roots that much better.
In concert: 9 p.m. Sat. at Metro. Sold out.

Name: Alice
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Location: Minnesota
My new boyfriend is really frustrated and doesn't want to have sex anymore because he can't come. He says he's had this problem for a while and hasn't come with any girl for over a year. I see how upset he is and I know he still wants to sleep with me, but says it hurts when he gets excited and nothing happens. Is there something I can do? I tell him to see a doctor but I don't think he will. Thanks a lot!
Wow, that's a bummer Alice. Unfortunately, you don't supply me with enough information for me to make an educated guess about what might be up with him. Does he have erections? Does he masturbate? Is he on any medications? These are the first questions I'd ask him. Since he isn't here and neither are you, I'm gonna make a stab in the dark.
If I had to guess, I'd say your man is suffering from a real bad case of performance anxiety. He doesn't need a medical doctor; he needs to learn to relax and be in the moment. If this is an arousal phase issue then that should help. If it's and orgasmic phase issue, relaxing and enjoying the pleasure will also help.
Here's how performance anxiety works. Say a fella has a less than satisfying sexual experience for one reason or another. Before he know it, he replaying the incident over and over in his head, till that's all he can think about. The proverbial molehill becomes a mountain. He brings his anxiety to his next sexual encounter. His hyper-consciousness primes him for more disappointment. And he's ready to interpret all disappointment as a failure. And this can interrupt either the arousal phase or orgasmic phase of our sexual response cycle.
Well, you can see where I'm going with this, huh? His fears become self-fulfilling. Before he knows it, he begins to avoid sex. His relationships suffer. He develops a full-blown sexual dysfunction. And his self-esteem takes a nosedive. His preoccupation with his problem makes it less likely that he'll be fully present during sex with his partner, which pretty much fucks up his sexual responsiveness and any hope for spontaneity.
It sounds to me like performance anxiety is putting a damper on his sexual arousal and thus short-circuiting the rest of his sexual response cycle, including orgasm.
This is nothing to fool around with, especially for someone at his tender age. When I see this sort of thing in my private practice, I always begin the therapeutic intervention by calling a moratorium on fucking of any kind. This immediately takes a great deal of the pressure off the couple. From there we begin to rebuild the partnered psycho-sexual response one step at a time. We begin with sensate focus training, stress reduction, and relaxation exercises. I have the greatest confidence in this method. It succeeds over 90% of the time.
Good luck

LOS ANGELES, July 13 (Reuters) - Five medical workers have been fired over a patient data breach at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the Los Angeles facility said in a statement, while celebrity website TMZ reported on Saturday that the hacking effort targeted reality star Kim Kardashian.
Cedars-Sinai, a favorite destination for celebrities seeking medical care, said in the statement it has a "high standard for security" and "in this case that standard was violated."
Kardashian, the star of the reality television show "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," gave birth on June 15 at Cedars-Sinai to daughter North West, whose father is Grammy-winning rap star Kanye West.
Cedars-Sinai officials declined to say whose privacy had been breached, but the hospital said it "informed the affected patients" and apologized to them.
The breach of 14 patient records occurred between June 18 and June 24, the hospital statement said.
TMZ reported that Kardashian checked out of Cedars-Sinai about a week after she gave birth and was contacted by the hospital and told she was one of the patients whose records were accessed.
TMZ, which cited unnamed sources, said Kardashian's family suspected a leak of information at Cedars-Sinai after media reports disclosed details Kardashian had not revealed to anyone.
Representatives for Kardashian did not return calls or emails seeking comment on Saturday.
The Cedars-Sinai statement said four of the workers who inappropriately logged onto the hospital's information system to access patient records were employees of local physicians with staff privileges at the hospital.
The other workers were a medical assistant employed by the Cedars-Sinai Medical Care Foundation and a student research assistant who was a volunteer, the hospital said. As a result of the privacy breach, the five medical workers with ties to Cedars-Sinai were fired and the volunteer barred from working there, it said.
Cedars-Sinai said that while it had no indication "any criminal acts were committed by the individuals" it was reaching out to law enforcement agencies in "an abundance of caution."
In another high-profile privacy breach at a Los Angeles hospital, authorities in 2008 charged a former employee at UCLA Medical Center with obtaining patient information for commercial gain after she leaked details on the late actress Farrah Fawcett's deteriorating condition. The former worker pleaded guilty later that year. (Reporting by Alex Dobuzinskis; Editing by Eric Walsh)

Analysis of the future exhaustion of the IPv4 Central pool (Archive)
- Analysis of the future exhaustion of the IPv4 Central pool (Archive)

- What will happen?
Analysis of the future exhaustion of the IPv4 Central pool in relation to IANA and its impact on the AfriNIC region
For some years now, studies have been done to try and assess the dates of exhaustion of the IPv4 central pool at the level of IANA and the Regional Registries. Geoff Huston's studies, for instance, published on http://www.potaroo.net/tools/ipv4/ project the exhaustion of the IANA pool of addresses to around 26 July 2011.(Seen on 27 February 2007 at 7:59 UTC +10. Note: The website computes possible dates for the pool exhaustion in relation to IANA and RIR allocations in real time).
In light of this and other information available (similar study done by CISCO using different methods), there is undeniable concern for IP network operators with questions like: What will the situation be at the estimated date, if the operators cannot obtain public IPv4 addresses? Should there be reserves for addresses locally at the RIR level and/or even at the IANA level to cater for the most urgent?
Faced with such questions, operators in the APNIC region (Asia Pacific Network Information Center) proposed a policy aiming at coordinating and planning the exhaustion of the IPv4 central pool (http://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/proposals/prop-046-v001.html). But beyond the approach of centralized coordination for the transition, there remains concerns that are not expressly addressed and raised in the community especially in regions where the Internet is in its full expansion capacity such as Africa and Latin-America (under the management of AfriNIC and LACNIC respectively).
Some of these questions are:
- What can those "small" registries (like AfriNIC) do, to ensure access to IPv4 addresses to their communities even after exhaustion of the IANA central pool?
- How will the Internet resource management system look like after the exhaustion of the IANA central Pool and that of AfriNIC?
- What about the IPv6 solution?
The objective of this document is to review different points based on data for the African Region and to set up foundations for some solutions whilst leaving the discussion open for contribution from the community.
It is almost evident that with the exhaustion of the of IPv4 address pool, a black market will develop with its law of supply and demand and will not be favorable to ISPs in emerging regions.
It is also almost obvious that as for IPv4, the natural deployment of IPv6 in the communities concerned will have some difficulties, in spite of the measures taken to encourage it.
1) Analysis of the situation
To answer the questions raised above in the context of AfriNIC, we have chosen to analyze the allocation of IPv4 addresses by AfriNIC, to make projections on the final exhaustion of the AfriNIC pool following that of IANA, and to prepare to manage this predicament.
For this we have analyzed allocations made from the prefix 41/8 allocated to AfriNIC in April 2005 by IANA and used since February 1st 2006. We have analyzed allocations over a period of 12 months (February 1st 2006 on February 1st 2007), to determine the rate of consumption and make projections (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Number of IP addresses allocated from January 1st 2006 to February 1st 2007
In order to study the model used to analyze the allocations, we represented the data in a logarithmic scale (Figure 2). The period from April 9th 2006 to November 1st 2006 (211 days) shows a linear behavior indicating an exponential growth.
Figure 2: Number of IP addresses allocated from 41/8 (logs-scale format)
The instantaneous growth rate of allocations derived from the formula X (t) =X0ekt is of 0.29 %. The rest of the graph shows a similar behavior. A way of modeling the global evolution is to extend the exponential model in the remaining period (from November 2nd 2006 till February 1st 2007), 302 days in total.
Figure 3 represents the graphs of real data and that of the data obtained with our model. The result on February 1st 2007 of both graphs reassures us on the applicability of our model and we can use it to make projections on the following dates:
- Date of qualification for a new /8 from IANA (50 % of utilization of the actual block),
- Date of exhaustion of the 41/8 block
As mentioned at the beginning, we first study the hypothesis of the constancy of conditions and actual rates of allocation. The model shows that AfriNIC will be at 50 % utilization of the 41/8 block, (8,388,608 IP addresses) at around April 22nd 2008 (after about 2 years and 2 months), and this is the date at which AfriNIC will qualify to receive a new /8 from IANA. See graph of Figure 4.
Figure 3: Exponential Model of Number of IP addresses allocated from 41/8
Figure 4: Projected Number of IP addresses allocated from 41/8 (up to 50%)
By taking a fragmentation rate of 10 % in the allocation (unallocated addresses), AfriNIC will exhaust the pool (after an allocation of 15,099,494.4) by November 11th 2008, that is after 2 years 9 months.
Figure 6: Projection of the exhaustion of the actual pool
AfriNIC should request for a new /8 from IANA by April 22nd 2008 as the IANA pool should be able to meet this request. The new block will be operational by November 11th 2008. By January 11th 2011, AfriNIC should also request a new /8 which can also be obtained. The new block will be effective on August 11th 2011 and will be exhausted by April 11th 2014. This is the situation if the actual rate of utilization is maintained and that everything works as predicted on the IANA pool.
But, what will it look like in reality?
2) History of IP addressing in the AfriNIC region.
In fact, our continent was probably the last to be connected "full IP " to the internet. The first notion to be spread about IP addresses in the region was about their scarcity hence a very extensive use of NAT. Some networks are even subjected to several levels of NAT. It is not uncommon to see big operators supplying a whole country with small PA assignments behind of NAT. These issues still persist despite the evolution of time and knowledge. Other factors include the size of our ISPs which according to the market and especially the economic situation of the countries are quite insignificant. This situation was also emphasized by the inadequacy of the IP address allocation policies applied by the RIRs that served the various regions of the continent before the establishment of AfriNIC.
It should however be noted that utilization and consumption of public IP addresses started to evolve recently due to several factors such as creation of the African Regional Internet Registry, availability of large bandwidth connections to an increasing number of African countries and access to fiber links in several countries.
Despite this sensible progress, our region still holds the lowest IP address consumption rate. All this is accompanied by a significant indifference by the majority of the actors in our community to the problems linked to the system of IP addressing particularly and Internet governance in general.
3) What will happen?
It is very much probable that the perspective of this exhaustion will trigger in the other regions (ARIN, RIPE and APNIC) pressure on LIRs and RIRs leading to accelerated consumption and as thus, faster exhaustion of the IANA pool which is envisaged by July 25th 2011. If this occurs one year beforehand that is on July 25th 2010 then AfriNIC's /8 request for January 11th 2011 will not be fulfilled due to the exhaustion of the IANA pool. The AfriNIC pool would therefore completely empty in August 2011 instead of April 2014.
Coming back to the initial questions that drove us to these long and perhaps boring studies and analyses.
1) What can the "small" registries (like AfriNIC) do to ensure continued access to IPv4 Addresses to their communities once the IANA pool is exhausted?
2) What will the global number resource management look like after the exhaustion of the central IANA Pool and that of AfriNIC?
3) What about the IPv6 solution?
The Results of our analyses envisage the exhaustion of the IANA pool for approximately July 25th 2010 and the AfriNIC pool for August 2011 that is after 4 years and 6 months.
4) How can AfriNIC plan for this date which will most probably occur earlier than envisaged?
Several actions are possible, requiring local, regional, but also global action. Let us try to define the foundations of some possible approaches.
a. To Sensitize the community about the situation in order to enable the operators avoid the related surprises and emergencies so that they can get ready for the exhaustion. This sensitization should include short and long term solutions. In this context, the creation of a SIG (Specific Interest Group) dedicated to this problem and to solutions focused on the realities of our region is recommended.
b. To Start an active campaign to recover unrouted allocated addresses in the AfriNIC pool. How much will there be? For how many months or years will the life of the pool be extended? What resources does AfriNIC have to recover those blocks for which the significant part is derived from the allocations made before the RIR system and identified as legacy space?
Here are series of questions which deserve extensive consideration in the coming days.
c. To constitute a reserve in the remaining pool to be used to supply critical infrastructure for which their sustainability and development are vital for the stability of network after August 11th 2011. What size should this reserve be? Will the global community support the allocation of IP to RIRs to satisfy this reservation?
A new definition of the term "critical infrastructure" would perhaps be necessary. Beside the classic and known definition (Root servers, and IXPs), what will the others be in 2011? Governmental or inter-governmental networks? Research Center Networks? Medical networks? Networks for the measure and prevention of natural disasters? ...
d. To Open a global debate on the use of the 16 /8s reserved by the IETF for "future use"
e. To Open discussions on a global level for the management of the remaining pool. Will an equitable distribution of the remaining pool among the 5 RIRs be conceivable?
5) What will the situation after August 11th 2011 be?
AfriNIC would probably be able to satisfy the "critical infrastructure", but may not be able to do much for the other categories. The latter will be confronted by the black market of IP addresses. It will be very hard and expensive to get IP addresses and there will be an excessive inclination to the usage of NAT which will negatively impact the network.
Will the certification of used numbers by the registries help in the regulation of the market that will have emerged then? In fact, with resource certification deployed and utilized, it could allow to provide services such as the integrity of transferred resources, Transfer of ownership and Exclusivity of transfers.
6) What about the IPv6 solution?
All the suggested actions listed above and those that will be based on IPv4 will only be temporary and will in reality be a transition solution to extend the use of IPv4 for a while. The solution resides in the long-term perspective, the availability of a broader range of addresses offered by IPv6. It is imperative and otherwise vital for the survival of the Internet that particular attention is paid to IPv6 in the deployment of networks in our region.
This mobilization must be at all development chain levels in Communication Technologies. Governments have a primordial role to play in this domain aiming clearly at the appropriation and deployment of IPv6-ready networks and applications in our countries. It will be necessary to get firmly involved in the campaigns of information and training on IPv6.
The SIG above will have among others, a role to establish a reliable document database aimed at the operators on the transition and migration mechanisms of IPv4 networks to IPv6. Since December 2005, AfriNIC has launched an information campaign which followed the removal of financial charges for the allocation of IPv6 addresses. AfriNIC has been able to train network operators in 8 African countries and to increase the number of IPv6 allocations in the region by more than 400 %, but this still represents only less than 10% of the networks using IPv4. Daily BGP statistics (http://airrs.afrinic.net/bgp/reports6.html/) show that less than 30 % of IPv6 allocations are visible on the internet. The path is still long and requires collective responsibility.

Chip Delany's reply was something to the effect of, "Great intro! Wrong audience!" Oops. (And, he asked, is JHJ really that difficult? No, certainly -- but I do tend to like to be dramatic...) It turned out that Chip had hoped for an introduction that was more along the lines of the long, scholarly introduction Ken James wrote for Longer Views. He told me to think of my audience as someone who has recently gotten a Ph.D. and is wondering why she should read this book.
I did my best to conceal my panic -- I don't, after all, have a Ph.D. myself, and I wasn't entirely sure I could write two introductions of 3,000-6,000 words each that would be even remotely coherent. In the end, though, I'm quite proud of how they turned out, and the research and thought I put into them ended up being some of the most pleasurable of my life.
After I turned in the final JHJ intro, Chip suggested I should put some outtakes from the first one up here. I'm not sure these are really worth preserving, but perhaps they will offer some amusement, and in any case I think it will prove that the change in perceived audience for the intro was nothing but a good thing...
The simple answer is the parentheticals.
First, though, we need the question. For that, I have to tell a few stories.
When I was in graduate school recently, my uncle asked me what course I was most enjoying. I said a course in postmodern theory. (He has spent enough time around academics to know roughly what I was talking about.) He said he had one question he'd always wanted to ask somebody in such a course, but he'd been afraid of offending them. I said he had no need to worry about offending me. "Well," he said, "what I've wondered is if any of that stuff has any value other than as some sort of game or in-joke. Is any of it really ... saying anything?"
I could have been a smart-aleck and replied that that was a very important problem in postmodern theory, the separation of this thing we call "language" and this other thing we call "meaning", but I wasn't feeling smart-alecky right then, and the uncertainty at the heart of his question had been bugging me quite a lot, too. My answer was one I have more or less stuck to since then: I don't immediately reject as worthless the complex and often convoluted sentences created by writers associated with that thing that has come to be known as Theory, because while certainly I have read plenty of essays and books that seem to hide vapid banalities in a labyrinth of neologisms and ornate syntax, some books and some essays use the labyrinth not to hide anything, but to house it most comfortably.
The question is: Is it worth the effort? The answer is: Yes, sometimes.
(But that's not the question we were searching for.)
[Then follows the small bit of personal stuff that actually made it into the intro, about me first encountering JHJ when I was a kid in the local college library, just discovering science fiction.]
And so now we come to the question for which I have already offered an answer: What does a reader need to pay the most attention to so as to begin understanding Delany's critical prose?
The simple answer is the parentheticals.
There are many different types of parentheticals with Delany. There are the ideas and comments put in parentheses. There are the footnotes and endnotes, many of which become mini-essays of their own. All of those are relatively easy things to work through, though. The challenge comes with the parenthetical statements within sentences, and the paragraphs that function as parenthetical remarks about other paragraphs. There is no simple trick to being able to comprehend the ideas that spring from other ideas and lead in directions of their own. It takes practice and patience.
Which brings us back to my uncle's question about contemporary critical theory in general: Is any of it really saying anything?
There is a corollary question: Does it have to be so difficult?
The simple answer to both questions is: Probably.
If you decide that a piece of writing is saying something, and saying something of value, that is because you have a context from which you can understand and value its ideas and a set of skills that allow you to understand how those ideas are expressed. When I first encountered The Jewel-Hinged Jaw, I was just a nerdy little kid, and I had neither the context nor the skills nor the experiences to get any more from it than I would have gotten from a textbook on nuclear physics. I returned to it after I had built up a context: I knew more about Delany, I knew more about science fiction, I knew more about reading and writing. Not a lot more, but enough to begin. I had read stories by Thomas M. Disch, Roger Zelazny, Joanna Russ. I had read Ursula LeGuin's The Dispossessed and thought it was the greatest novel ever written (because it was the most intellectually thrilling novel I had ever read, and I assumed nothing could be better). I knew a few general things about the New Wave in the 1960s, having by then read some of Judith Merril's best-of-the-year anthologies and Harlan Ellison's Dangerous Visions. I had begun to think about politics and gender and sexuality.
I'm sure other people could make sense of The Jewel-Hinged Jaw with a different sort of context, a different basic collection of references and general ideas, but this was the one that worked for me.
It can be interesting to chart what changes and what doesn't in Delany's ideas, but it is equally important to look at what changes in the culture from his earliest essays to his most recent, and how that is reflected in his analyses. One of the many things Delany has given us is a record of what it was like to be thinking about writing, reading, and living in a time when the perception of those things by the broader culture changed. The influence of such people as Michel Foucault, Roland Barthes, Jacques Derrida, and Jacques Lacan was at first limited to the academy, but the influence exploded outward quickly enough, affecting everything from teaching styles to product design, so that now, forty years later, The Economist magazine can run an article suggesting that the ideas of Foucault, Barthes, and Jean-François Lyotard have been absorbed and assimilated by marketing researchers and venturing capitalists.
Beyond providing evidence of how Delany's writing metamorphoses, and beyond the fascination of controversies past, the value these essays hold for us now is their continuing ability to provoke thought. When I said that the secret of beginning to understand Delany is to pay attention to his parentheticals, what I was suggesting was that it is important to pay attention to how you, the individual reader, absorb his ideas. Don't get stuck on particular sentences -- you can come back to them later -- but instead let the flow of ideas inspire ideas of your own. If you start daydreaming while you read, don't worry about it, just remember where your thoughts took flight. When you come back, you will come back to the page as a different person with a different mind, and you will be able to pick up from where you left off, and go for a little while longer, until either you can't fit any more ideas in your head, or you start to dream again. Either result should be cherished.
Is any of it really saying anything—
Is any of it really saying anything to me?
That is the question each of us asks of anything we pay attention to, and the things we pay the most attention to are the things that cause us to answer the question with a strong Yes.
The way I answer that question is obvious. With The Jewel-Hinged Jaw finally back in print, you now have the chance to answer the question for yourself.

SUPERSTORM SANDY. It is rare for a hurricane to reach as far north as Sandy did, and it was a big one, causing an estimated damage of $62 billion and destroying thousands of homes on the Eastern seaboard. Sadly, its destruction also highlighted that even after 9/11, many trading firms had poor back-up plans and systems.
2012 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. Four years ago we commented on just how endless the 2008 election seemed. This election began pretty much after that one ended as the opposition ditched the honeymoon phase and got downright nasty.
BANKING SCANDALS. That many of the largest banks in the world consistently had been manipulating Libor (London Interbank Offered Rate) — the interest rate that is the base for nearly all interest rates — to create trading profits makes other scandals pale by comparison. But just when we thought we could not be shocked by the corruption and above-the-law attitude of major banks, it was revealed that HSBC had been laundering money for Mexican drug cartels and dealing with Iran in violation of sanctions over many years.
2012 DROUGHT. Grain trading volume flourished this summer as a major drought hit the U.S. breadbasket region, causing grain prices to soar. The drought caused price spikes across the grain complex in 2012 and likely will continue to push ag and livestock prices up in 2013.

RUSS WASENDORF, Chairman and CEO of PFGBest. Wasendorf spent all his time trying to get a seat at the adult table, but it took us 20 years to find out that it was his customers' money he was throwing around on his varied flights of fancy. He may not have made it as the biggest fraud, but he could qualify for the longest lasting one.
JON CORZINE, former Chairman and CEO of MF Global. While MF Global failed in 2011, the damage it caused the futures industry carried over to 2012, where customers still await funds and Corzine still hasn't been prosecuted.

Lifton Leads Assembly in Urging Congress to Close Drilling Loophole
Assemblywoman Barbara Lifton (D/WF-Ithaca) has announced the Assembly today passed her legislative resolution memorializing Congress to enact H.R. 2766, repealing the 2005 for hydraulic fracturing in the Safe Drinking Water Act. Lifton said the drilling exemption removes hydraulic fracturing and the chemicals it uses from any federal regulations or oversight.
"We must protect our drinking water supplies from harmful chemicals that are being pumped into the ground by oil and gas companies," said Lifton. "More than 1,000 cases of contamination have been reported by state and local governments in New Mexico, Alabama, Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Colorado – all places where hydraulic fracturing has taken place."
Hydraulic fracturing involves injecting millions of gallons of water and sand mixed with tens of thousands of gallons of chemicals, some that are known to cause cancer, deep into the ground, where as much as a third of those fluids remain after the gas is removed.
"There is no room for compromise when it comes to our families' health," said Lifton. "The practice of hydraulic fracturing must have the full oversight of the federal government."
Lifton stressed the importance of not harming our drinking water, a resource that is vital to human health and survival. "While there is value in drilling for natural gas, it is important to do so in a manner that does not have a long-term negative impact on our drinking water."
The exemption from the Safe Drinking Water Act for natural gas and oil drilling is now being reviewed by Congress.
