I've recently taken on a new Product Management role at Juniper Networks. I will be handling the EX platform. While this is an exciting time for me and I expect to be challenged, it does curtail my independence somewhat as a blogger. That's the price to pay when you work for a vendor, (even though my work email address will be .net rather than .com). I hope to keep writing, but it definitely won't be as frequent.
Santa Cruz New Tech Meetup
Since moving to Santa Cruz, I've attended two meetups for Santa Cruz New Tech Meetup, which is the 8th largest meetup in the United States. The events are held on the first Wednesday of each month and feature pitches from some of the local tech entrepreneurs in the city. While Santa Cruz isn't technically Silicon Valley (it is on the other side of the hill), it is considered a part of the San Francisco Bay Area and is host to some talented entrepreneurs. However, there aren't (m)any startups in Santa Cruz looking into the SDN or Cloud space. In this post, I outline the companies that presented to the audience of over 200 people at the November 2014 Santa Cruz New Tech Meetup .
Eggcyte has a small handheld product called The Egg, which is basically a webserver that stores media that can then be shared selectively. It is intended to provide a level of privacy that social media outlets can't offer, because the cloud is essentially the Egg. With 128 GB storage and 10-12 hours of battery life, the founders are intending to provide a more tangible ownership experience of media. It has a long way to go though, and needs to better address security (screen scraping, encryption, etc) in order to gain traction.
Moxtra has its roots in WebEx. One of the co-founders was the founder and CEO of WebEx before it was acquired by Cisco. Moxtra is a cloud collaboration platform that encompasses multimedia, such as text, voice and multimedia chat capabilities, visual and verbal content annotations, mobile screen sharing, and task management.
Tuul is currently arguably the hottest startup in Santa Cruz and is focused on improving the customer experience. In their words, Enhanced by our patent-pending tuulBots, Tuul's customer support automation solution provides a platform for businesses to interact with their customers in a more direct, simple, and efficient way. tuulView dashboards enable business to handle multiple requests simultaneously, with little integration required.
City Blooms has taken a plunge in to the Internet of Things, or as they call it, Internet of Farms. As they say, Cityblooms creates modular micro-farms that grow fresh and healthy food on rooftops, parking lots, patios, parks, and everywhere in between. They have a prototype installed on the Plantronics (another Santa Cruz company). This was a very impressive solution that I hope succeeds.
Finally, PredPol (short for Predictive Policing for law enforcement) uses analytics based on historical data to help reduce crime. It reminds you of The Minority Report, except it is less intrusive (thankfully). According to them, Law enforcement agencies deploying PredPol are experiencing marked drops in crime due to increased police presence in areas deemed to be at greatest risk.
The Etymology of Elephant and Mice Flows
Over the past 3-4 years, the term elephant flows has been used to refer to east-west (machine-to-machine) traffic, such as vMotion, Migration, Backup, and Replication. The term mice flows is used to refer to north-south (user-to-machine) traffic. Why are we using these terms all of a sudden and did they come from?
Wikipedia states "It is not clear who coined "elephant flow", but the term began occurring in published Internet network research in 2001 when the observations were made that a small number of flows carry the majority of Internet traffic and the remainder consists of a large number of flows that carry very little Internet traffic".
The traffic that traverses Data Center Interconnects (DCI) is typically east-west and flow-oriented (TCP-based). These applications have huge bandwidth requirements when compared to north-south. RFC 1028 defines a term LFN (Long Fat Network), which is when the Bandwidth Delay Product (BDP) is 105 bits or 12500 bytes. BDP and LFN have existed in the world of WAN Optimization (traditionally for north-south traffic) for over a decade. It is only more recently in the era of east-west traffic in DCI that elephant flows have become more prominent. The terms remain even within a data center, as the folks from VMware have shown in this well-written piece from exactly a year ago.
White Box switch readiness for prime time
Matthew Stone runs Cumulus Networks switches in his production network. He came on the Software Gone Wild podcast recently to talk about his experiences. Cumulus, Pica8, and Big Switch are the three biggest proponents of white box switching. While Pica8 focuses on the Linux abstractions for L2/L3, Pica8 focuses more on the OpenFlow implementation, and Big Switch on leveraging white boxes to form taps and, more recently, piecing together leaf-spine fabric pods.
I believe white box switches are years away from entering campus networks. Even managed services are not close. You won't see a Meraki-style deployment of these white box switches in closets for a while. But Stone remains optimistic and makes solid points as an implementer. My favorite part is when he describes how Cumulus has rewritten the ifupdown script, to simplify configuration for network switches (which typically are roughly 50 ports as compared to 4-port servers), and repackaged it as ifupdown2 to the Debian distribution. Have a listen.
NBASE-T or MGBASE-T?
Last week I wrote about five new speeds that the Ethernet Alliance (the marketing arm of IEEE) are working on. The lower speeds 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps are called MGBASE-T and according to this post from the Ethernet Alliance, the MGBASE-T Alliance is overseeing the development of these standards outside of IEEE. This week, news broke out about leading PHY vendor Aquantia teaming up with Cisco, Freescale, and Xilinx to form the NBASE-T Alliance. This raises some questions about the work and causes that the MGBASE-T Alliance and NBASE-T Alliance are committed to.
Both NBASE-T and MGBASE-T are trademarks of Aquantia. Both the MGBASE-T Alliance and the NBASE-T Alliance are Delaware corporations. It appears as though the MGBASE-T Alliance was formed around June 2014, while NBASE-T Alliance is newer, September 2014.
The NBASE-T Alliance website defines the technology as follows:
NBASE-T™ is a proven technology boosting the speed of twisted pair copper cabling up to 100 meters in length well beyond the designed limits of 1 Gbps.
Capable of reaching 2.5 and 5 Gigabits per second over 100m of Cat 5e cable, the disruptive NBASE-T solution allows a new type of signaling over twisted-pair cabling. Should the silicon have the capability, auto-negotiation can allow the NBASE-T solution to accurately select the best speed: 100 Megabit Ethernet (100MbE), 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (2.5GbE) and 5 Gigabit Ethernet (5GbE).
So what happens to MGBASE-T given that Aquantia was a part of both? My hunch is that it fizzles away and the other vendors who were working on it (no names here) lost in the race to Cisco, Freescale, and Xilinx.
Head End Replication and VXLAN Compliance
Arista Networks recently announced that its implementation of VXLAN no longer requires IP Multicast in the underlay network. Instead, the implementation will now rely on a technique called Head End Replication to forward BUM (Broadcast, Unknown Unicast, and Multicast) traffic in the VLANs that it transports. But first, let's rewind to the original VXLAN specification.
Virtual eXtensible Local Area Networks were first defined in an Internet draft called draft-mahalingam-dutt-dcops-vxlan-00.txt in August 2011. It took some time for switch vendors to implement it, but now Broadcom's Trident II supports it. Of course, software overlay solutions such as VMware NSX and Nuage Virtualized Services Platform (VSP) also implement it. Three years later, in August 2014, this draft became RFC 7348. The draft had 9 revisions to it, so it went up to draft-mahalingam-dutt-dcops-vxlan-09.txt, but there are no significant changes with respect to Multicast requirements in the underlay. They all say the same thing in section 4.2:
Consider the VM on the source host attempting to communicate with the destination VM using IP. Assuming that they are both on the same subnet, the VM sends out an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) broadcast frame. In the non-VXLAN environment, this frame would be sent out using MAC broadcast across all switches carrying that VLAN. With VXLAN, a header including the VXLAN VNI is inserted at the beginning of the packet along with the IP header and UDP header. However, this broadcast packet is sent out to the IP multicast group on which that VXLAN overlay network is realized. To effect this, we need to have a mapping between the VXLAN VNI and the IP multicast group that it will use.
In essence, IP multicast is the control plane in VXLAN. But, as we know, IP multicast is very complex to configure and manage.
In June 2013, Cisco deviated from the VXLAN standard in the Nexus 1000V in two ways:
- It makes copies of packets for each possible IP address at which the destination MAC address can be found, and sent from the head-end of the VXLAN tunnel, or VLAN Tunnel End Point (VTEP). Then these packets are unicast to all VMs within the VXLAN segment, thereby precluding the need to have IP multicast in the core of the network.
- The Virtual Supervisor Module (VSM) of the Nexus 1000V acts as the control plane by maintaining the MAC address table of the VMs, which it then distributes, via a proprietary signaling protocol, to the Virtual Ethernet Module (VEM), which, in turn, acts as the data plane in the Nexus 1000V.
To their credit Cisco acknowledged that this mode is not compliant with the standard, although they do support a multicast-mode configuration as well. At that time they expressed hope that the rest of the industry would back their solution. Well, the RFC still states that an IP multicast backbone is needed.
This brings me to the original announcement from Arista. They claim in their press statement: The Arista VXLAN implementation is truly open and standards based with the ability to interoperate with a wide range of data center switches.
But nowhere else on their website do they state how they actually adhere to the standard. Cisco breaks the standard by conducting Head End Replication. Adam Raffe does a great job in explaining how this works (basically, the source VTEP will replicate the Broadcast or Multicast packet and send to all VMs in the same VXLAN). Arista should explain how exactly their enhanced implementation works.
Linux as a Switch Operating System: Five Lessons Learned
Although this post is nearly a year old, it is still gold. Ken Duda, the CTO of Arista Networks described five lessons learned along the way of supporting Enterprise Operating System (EOS), the Linux-based switching operating system. They are listed as:
- It's okay to leave the door unlocked.
- Preserve the integrity of the Linux core.
- Focus on state, not messages.
- Keep your hands out of the kernel.
- Provide familiar interfaces to ease adoption.
Definitely worth a read.

This was a well paced movie with good action and good acting.
I will probably need to see this a couple of times to see if I'm missing something here, but overall the director just doesn't know what film he wants to make.
Johnny Depp does a great job as public enemy no. 1 John Dillinger, and Christian Bale does an AMAZING job as Melvin Purvis.

Here is an update to the previously reported N55 equiped 135i. More wallpapers of the coupe and convertible have been released by BMW and they are here for your desktop needs.
The M1 prototype test car has now been filmed on video. Scroll down to the link after the jump for the directly embedded video on CAR Magazine's site.
This video is genious. This is a newly released YouTube teaser clip for the upcoming MINI "crossover" SUV. Noting really new is seen in this video, actually compared to the beachcomber concept car you actually see less! But what I love is that they took their now standard yellow psychadelic camoflage masking tape and integrated it into the standard teaser video for the car.

BMW X6M and X5M Snow Fun. Part 1 – Extreme Drifting
As a counterpoint to Clarksons recent review of the X6, BMW shows us that the X5 M and X6 M can have fun in the snow too. Two BMW professional driving instructors talk us through their snow experience with the X cars.
Make sure to watch these videos in HD!
I thought it might be interesting to have a direct comparison between the pre LCI E92 and the LCI E92 next to each other. I used the press pictures of both, some angles are wrong, but you get an idea as to what was changed and how it changes the car (for better or for worse). I like the new styling cues.

The long awaited official photos of the E92 / E93 LCI facelift model has arrived! These camera captured photos reveal a beautiful and subtle update to the original E92 / E93!
Car Magazine has published pictures of the M1 undergoing cold weather testing in Scandinavia. While the guys at Car Magazine are assuming that this is a mule for the next gen 1-series coupe (F2x), its safe to say this actually is an M1 prototype. Why?

Londonderry High School puts cap on Candia, Hooksett student transfers
And in Manchester, Mayor Ted Gatsas said Hooksett officials should not be giving blanket approval for students who wish to transfer out of the district. About a dozen students sought and were granted transfers by the Hooksett School Board Tuesday night.
"It's a concern. There's no question; they're under a contract," Gatsas said.
After Manchester opened the 2012 school year with dozens of classes over the state-mandated limit of 30 students, Hooksett and Candia - which send their high school students to Manchester - wrote formal letters of concern to the district about overcrowded classrooms.
After months of talks and some reduction in class sizes, Hooksett sent Manchester a letter notifying it that the town considered it to be in breach of contract.
The contract that Hooksett has accused Manchester of violating also requires sending towns to send all "of their public high school students to Manchester high schools with the exception of those who petition a Sending School District ... and are approved for such attendance on a case-by-case basis."
Gatsas said he may request Manchester Superintendent of Schools Thomas Brennan to get in writing any transfer requests from the Hooksett superintendent.
Meanwhile, Londonderry Superintendent Nathan Greenberg said his district can accept up to 60 students. In November, Greenberg announced that Londonderry would match the tuition rates of nearby districts so parents of transferring students would not have to pay any difference out of their own pockets.
"We believe that we can accommodate 60, maybe a few more, next year without having to increase staff, because our budget is pretty well set at this point in time," Greenberg said.
The 60-student cap is not necessarily permanent, he said.
"Going forward, let's say for the 2014/2015 school year, if we know for sure we're going to have more students coming and there's a guaranteed number, then obviously we can make an adjustment in any budget proposals," Greenberg said.
Dr. Charles Littlefield, superintendent of SAU 15 serving Hooksett, Candia and Auburn, said Tuesday he had not heard of the 60-student cap.
"As far as I know, we have fewer students than that that had sought a Londonderry placement," he said.
There is talk of another cap.
Tuesday night, Manchester's Curriculum and Instruction Committee voted 3-1 to approve a policy setting the maximum enrollment in high school classes at 30. The vote sends the policy to the Coordination Committee.
When asked if the new policy, if instituted, would be a game-changer, Littlefield responded: "At this point in time, I don't know. I haven't seen a policy. I don't know what implementation of that policy would look like. So it's premature to say."
He noted that the policy did seem to "reinforce" state standards.

I have signed up with several cloud storage service. Now I have a total of 60GB of FREE cloud storage to use.
Image source: Google Images
I am a user of the following FREE online cloud services:
- Dropbox – 2GB
- Box.net – 15GB
- pogoplug – 5GB
- Google Drive – 5gb
- Skydrive – 25GB
- iDrive – 5GB
- Sugarsync – 5GB
Note: You can purchase additional storage space.
Box.net is my repository for mobile phone app and game files – mostly java apps and games – which I share to everyone (it is available for download). It is my first cloud storage experience. I have files here which I uploaded way back in 2006.
I've been a Dropbox user for quite sometime now. I've used it to sync some files across my office laptop to my personal laptop and home desktop. I was only able to use 20% of the 2GB free space. Now I'm using Google Drive – which offers 5GB free space, to sync my active office and personal files across different devices and gadgets including my Android smart phone and tablet.
I was introduced to Pogoplug when I reviewed the Buffalo Cloudstation. I'm using it to sync my pictures. I like this more because the Pogoplug Android app shows a thumbnail of the pictures unlike other cloud service app for android devices. It also asks you what folders in your android device you want to sync.
So I still have Skydrive with 25GB free, iDrive and SugarSync with 5GB each. I might use skydrive as backup for my other files (tons of office files) then iDrive and SuagrSync just on stand-by in case I will need to share some files.
How about you? How do you use your FREE cloud storage?

Tea Party activists disavow Steve Stockman
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) A coalition of top Texas grassroots conservatives has formally disavowed U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman, saying he never represented tea party values.
Stockman is challenging U.S. Sen. John Cornyn in next week's Republican primary. But in an open letter to him Thursday, the activists wrote: "there is nothing about your conduct that represents the spirit of grassroots conservatives."
Stockman has done little organized campaigning and even missed nearly 20 straight House votes in January though it turned out he was part of an official overseas delegation for much of that time.
His campaign also has faced numerous accusations of ethics and campaign finance violations.
The letter was signed by 12 activists led by JoAnn Fleming, who chairs the citizen advisory committee to the Texas Legislature's Tea Party Caucus.

unless I use a screen-keyboard, I need to change my hands from the keyboard to the mouse and back again for this "one-click-experience". Thats stupid. My setup has "one keypress search" (ok actually two if you count whitespace), which is far more better. I use an already existing feature. My most important search sites get such shortcuts.

Best thing is, it isn't cluttered up with all that ebay or other sites. Disadvantage of course is that I have to set it up on each computer I use firefox on.
Yes you can monitor stuff even with TLS, but that's far less than without encryption. So my company knows that my smartphone connects to whattsapp.com on port 443 and exchanges 2kb of information.
The network shouldn't matter unless you count installing some shiny cisco app or accepting companie's CA as "network setup".
A company should be abled to offer any services they want, but they should have to make sure they don't create lock-ins, eg through their own proprietary standards. If whattsapp users could communicate with skype chat users, we'd get rid of lots of problems. Its like with energy. There are lots of devices, but they all work with one energy grid, at least with the EU connector. And still, there are only a few large energy companies running most of the power plants. But when I have to buy new devices the moment I switch the energy company, I think twice before the switch.
It seems it does matter, at least for Tablizer.
One of the problems I have with nuclear fission technology is the fact that old plants are still on-line. With new plants we know how to make them secure.

Pynchon's Slothrop
Submitted by Sovereign Human on Wed, 02/06/2013 - 12:24. Permalink
Pynchon's Slothrop in Gravity's Rainbow undergoes continuous entropy increase. With every new uncovering of the code symbols surrounding his place in the cosmos he loses information, interconnections growing boundless, the more he learns the more uncertain he becomes until he disintegrates. Meanwhile, all those entangled with him suffer a slow freeze, entropy decreasing until they are immobilized without possibility of surprise.

The success of any business depends highly on keeping customers and constantly satisfying their needs, and at the same time finding new sales leads. Constantly fulfilling their demands is necessary for any growing business to thrive. Believe it or not, majority of your company's sales comes from your loyal customers. It's actually surprising why most companies devote their time tracking new customers instead of finding ways to retain current ones.
A lot of business owners make the mistake of not devoting enough effort at keeping existing customers happy. It's a kick in the teeth finding out later on that customers switched over to your competitor because you weren't able to resolve their issues, or your prices were unjust, or they felt that they weren't valued. Customers come back for your products and services because they have maintained their connection with you.
A lot of financial and business experts state that spending marketing strategies on keeping customers is more lucrative and cost-efficient than running after leads. In addition, loyal customers spend more on your services compared to newer ones, and it costs more to promote something to a sales lead than to a loyal clientele.
Building and maintaining relationships with existing customers makes a lot of sense. Doing this is easy; all you have to do is show that you genuinely care. It's even easier with the use of technology and the internet. Implementing a database of clients helps you keep detailed data of customers and identify their wants. These databases come with features like service postcards aimed at maintaining and nurturing your relationship with them with a personal touch.
Show how using a database benefits your customers. Put yourself in your customers' shoes and utilize these features to show them the services they need. Use service postcards to send discounts and special offers, customer assistance, and simple acknowledgement to keep them happy.
Implementing a database and using service postcards help maintain your bond and relationship with your customers. If your existing customers aren't happy, imagine how hard it will be attracting newer prospects. By devoting time to maintain and nourish your relationships, sales from your current clientele increases. A happy and loyal clientele ensures the success and growth of any company.

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
ESPN's Orel Hershiser says Kyle Lohse deal gives Brewers 'better chance' of keeping up with Cards, Reds
Orel Hershiser and John Kruk, ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" analysts, were enthusiastic about the Brewers adding Kyle Lohse to their rotation.
But Hershiser does not think it necessarily means the Brewers automatically are in a position to hang with the Reds and Cardinals in the division.
We asked Hershiser and Kruk about the Lohse deal during a conference call with reporters on Tuesday.
Hershiser mentioned what some other baseball observers have about Lohse's contract – that the amount of money due him was diminished because of the new draft-pick compensation system. The Brewers lose the 17th overall pick in the 2013 amateur draft by signing Lohse.
"I think Kyle Lohse got stuck in a tough bind there," Hershiser said. "Maybe he was asking for too much money in the off-season. . . . It's a shame that a guy could get a job quicker, and maybe even a better contract, if he had a worse year. That's an odd thing to happen with baseball. I'm sure they are really going to look hard with the bargaining agreement between the players and the owners to try and maybe . . . (assure) that doesn't happen any more."
Hershiser said Lohse will improve Milwaukee's rotation.
"I tip my hat to Milwaukee ownership again that they step out (given) the size of the market and try and spend money to help their team as best they can," Hershiser said. "They go out and get CC Sabathia in the past. They sign their stars to good contracts. Now they go out and get Lohse here with a late signing and spend some $30 million.
"I'm not sure they are going to be able to keep up with the Cincinnati Reds and the Cardinals, but this definitely gives them a better chance," Hershiser said.
John Kruk agreed that the Brewers bolstered the top of their rotation.
"Kyle Lohse has been great over the last three or four years," Kruk said. "It is going to help. It is going to make (the Brewers) more competitive."
But Kruk sees the Brewers' success coming more from their offense.
"To me, it all goes back to the offense," Kruk said. "Can Ryan Braun repeat (a high performance) with all the controversy surrounding him? I don't have any doubts he can. Corey Hart has to be big. And Rickie Weeks has to be a great player. He can't just be an average or below average player if they are going to win. They have to have everyone contributing offensively. If they do, they are going to be fine. If they're not – well, I don't care how much pitching you have, sometimes you have to outscore people. It's up to their offense to produce and if it does, fine."

Solving the Mystery of the Biology of Ageing
Thursday, 28 November (6pm - 7pm)
A lecture by David Gems, Professor of Biogerontology, Institute of Healthy Ageing, UCL
Venue: Cruciform Lecture Theatre (LT1), followed by a drinks reception in the North Cloisters, Wilkins Building, UCL
Welcome and introduction:Dr Filipe Gomes Cabreiro, Department of Structural and Molecular Biology, UCL
Recent advances in biogerontology (the biology of ageing) have identified many genes and pathways where intervention in animals can decelerate ageing, which results in partial resistance to a wide spectrum of ageing-related diseases, and an increase in healthy lifespan. This raises the prospect of a new, preventative approach in humans to the disease that is ageing to improve late-life health in the future. But despite such progress, the fundamental mechanisms of biological ageing remain largely undiscovered, and their nature constitutes one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in science. Recently, an influential hypothesis in biogerontology - that accumulation of random molecular damage causes ageing - has been challenged, and based on recent discoveries in the field, new theories about what ageing is are emerging and being tested in short-lived animal models such as fruit flies and nematode worms.
This lecture, convened by Nazif Alic and Matthew Piper, Institute of Healthy Ageing, UCL, forms part of UCL's Festival of Ageing

A student's decision to drop out of high school is often the end result of a
long series of negative school experiences--academic failure, grade retention,
or frequent suspensions--that begin before the ninth grade. Dropout prevention
strategies, therefore, must be targeted at the middle school grades, when the
stresses of schooling related to a more complex curriculum, a less personal
environment, and the growing need for peer acceptance pose grave danger to
already disadvantaged students (Massachusetts Advocacy Center, 1988).
Even though research demonstrates the importance of middle schools in
retaining at-risk students, the organization and curriculum of most do not meet
the needs of young adolescents, who are going through a tumultuous period of
rapid physical development and emotional turmoil.
Much of the research on improving middle and junior high schools is aimed at
making them look less like large, impersonal high schools, and more like caring,
nurturing elementary schools, while still offering students a challenging,
subject-specific curriculum.
CREMS studies (1988) have shown that while the grade 6-8 middle schools tend
to be smaller and less departmentalized than the 7-9 junior highs, close to 50
percent of all seventh graders change classrooms at least four times a day.
Thus, at the point in their lives when young adolescents are feeling most
vulnerable, many are forced to leave their self-contained elementary school
classrooms, where they spent most of their day with one teacher and a small
group of peers, for large, often impersonal middle schools or junior highs,
where daily they attend as many as seven different classes taught by seven
different teachers and attended by seven different sets of students
(Massachusetts Advocacy Center, 1988).
Yet, while less-departmentalized schools allow teachers to form closer
relationships with their students, one study found that sixth graders in these
situations were achieving at a significantly lower level (CREMS, 1987).
Thus, middle schools, especially those with at-risk students, must address
both issues--positive student-teacher relationships and high achievement.
Schools can do so by developing intermediate staffing practices, including
semi-departmentalized and team teaching arrangements. For instance, one teacher
may offer instruction in related subjects (such as science and mathematics) and
share a fixed class of students with other teachers. Schools can also assign
staff members to serve as "advocates and mentors" to individual students (CREMS,
This more personalized setting allows teachers to keep closer tabs on
frequently absent students and to work with them and their parents to prevent
truancy. The team teaching approach allows teachers to specialize and develop
expertise while still being able to network with other teachers to help students
with difficulties.
While many students are held back in the early years of elementary school,
retention is also quite common in the middle grades when teachers are looking
for more specialized knowledge and academic achievement from their students. In
the Boston school system, for example, nearly 12 percent of all sixth graders
and 19 percent of all seventh graders were held back in 1987, compared with only
two percent of all fifth graders (Massachusetts Advocacy Center, 1988).
Research has shown, however, that retaining middle school students does not
improve academic achievement and may in fact signal that schools are not helping
students compensate for academic deficiencies that began in elementary school
(Massachusetts Advocacy Center, 1986). Meanwhile, young adolescents are more
likely to feel embarrassed and stigmatized than elementary students when they
are held back.
Tracking young adolescents also restricts social interaction between students
with different interests and abilities at a point in their lives when they are
formulating long-lasting perceptions of themselves and their peers. Because
minority students are consistently placed in lower level classes, tracking
segregates students, reinforcing prejudices and fostering a feeling among young
minority students that only whites can be high achievers.
In some situations students learn thinking strategies more efficiently from
each other than they do from the teacher (Strahan & Strahan, 1988). They are
responsive to each others' ideas, and groups often solve problems more
efficiently than students working alone.
Natriello et al. (1988) stress that providing adolescents with career
education increases the salience of the school curriculum by showing students
how the skills they are learning today can benefit them in 10 or 20 years.
Bhaerman and Kopp (1986) found that students are less likely to leave school
when they work with teachers who are flexible, positive, creative, and
person-centered rather than rule-oriented. Effective teachers should also
maintain high expectations for all of their students and show they care about
their students' success.
Many middle grade teachers, however, lack adequate training on early
adolescence (Carnegie Council on Adolescent Development, 1989). Most are
prepared to teach either elementary or high school students, and view their job
in the middle schools as a "way station" before going on to assignments that
they prefer.
Middle grade teaching is a legitimate, specialized profession. These teachers
should be specially trained in adolescent development as well as in a subject
area. As they counsel and mentor their students through their middle school
years, teachers will be providing a climate that supports and nurtures at-risk
students, and removing much of the school-based impetus for dropping out.

Barghouti warns of third intifada if occupation continues
In an interview from his prison cell, convicted Fatah terrorist Marwan Barghouti told Channel 10 that if he was Palestinian Authority president, he wouldn't be able to promise that there would not be a third intifada, as PA President Mahmoud Abbas has done.Channel 10 aired the interview - jointly conducted with Haaretz - on Wednesday night, marking the first Israeli interview of its kind after the ten years of prison time that the revered Palestinian figure has served.He warned that if the occupation continued, there will be a third intifada, but it will be a popular non-violent uprising. The interview was conducted several days into Operation Pillar of Defense, and Barghouti predicted that the conflict would strengthen Hamas.He described Abbas as the most comfortable partner Israel could
have, and said he had no choice but to go the United Nations General
Assembly with the Palestinian statehood bit, otherwise "he would go home." "You read the polls and understand that I am Abbas's replacement," he said.Barghouti recalled that Abbas had said that he would give up any claim to Safed, where he had lived as a child. Abbas was asked during a channel 2 interview in March if he would like to return to his birth town of Safed. He responded: "Palestine now for me is the '67 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital...I believe the West Bank and Gaza is Palestine and the other parts are Israel."Barghouti stressed that he himself would not give up the claim to the right of return, which he called a sacred right of the Palestinians.
