Mets unlikely to give starting pitcher multiyear deal
Club meets with agent for free agent Colon; Sandy keeping tabs on Johan, Dice-K
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Among others, the Mets met Monday with the agent for Bartolo Colon, baseball's best free-agent starter who might accept a one-year deal. An agreement with the Mets seems unlikely, given the 40-year-old Colon's expected salary demands -- if not a multiyear contract, perhaps an eight-figure price tag -- and the team's payroll restrictions.
It simply represents one extreme best-case scenario for the Mets, who are unwilling to make a long-term commitment toward any free-agent starter.
"We'd be hesitant to give a multiyear contract," general manager Sandy Alderson said Monday, before providing his usual hedge, "but it doesn't mean we wouldn't."
In recapping Day 1 of the Winter Meetings at the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resort, Alderson mentioned only two potential rotation targets by name: Johan Santana, whose lead agent has been in contact with the Mets, and Daisuke Matsuzaka, who ended last season with the team.
Santana, 34, is coming off a second surgery to repair a torn anterior capsule in his left shoulder, putting his entire career in jeopardy. Though one of his agents, Chris Leible, has expressed optimism about the left-hander's progress, Santana has limited his own public communication to infrequent Twitter updates. At any rate, he seems to be the opposite of what the Mets need -- Alderson wants a pitcher who can provide enough early value to keep the team afloat until top prospects Noah Syndergaard and Rafael Montero arrive, and Santana's status will never be less certain than at the beginning of the year.
Matsuzaka, 33, seems safer from a durability standpoint despite his own injury-plagued history. But the right-hander's upside is limited given his 5.41 ERA since 2009. Matsuzaka could not find any team willing to give him a big league contract last winter, and he may be similarly hard-pressed to do so this year.
They have warts, those two pitchers, and yet they are representative of whom the Mets may ultimately acquire to replace Matt Harvey. In their suite at the resort, Alderson and his lieutenants have divided the free-agent pitching market into two broad divisions: upper-echelon arms who can command big-money deals, and lower-echelon players who may sign Minor League contracts or incentive-based deals.
The Mets are shy about investing in the former group because their funds are limited after investing $60 million into outfielder Curtis Granderson, whose introductory news conference should take place Tuesday at the Winter Meetings. They are also wary of allocating serious resources to pitching when they have Syndergaard, Montero, Jenrry Mejia and other elite young arms either at the Major League level or close.
One alternative would be to place two of those prospects in their Opening Day rotation alongside Jon Niese, Zack Wheeler and Dillon Gee. Or, preferably, the Mets could acquire a cheap starter to buoy them while their pitching prospects develop, then serve as depth or trade bait after the youngsters arrive.
"We have the possibility of pushing guys a little harder, but ideally we'd like to follow that prior approach," Alderson said, lauding the Cardinals' recent handling of Michael Wacha and his own dealings with Harvey and Wheeler. "It's not an unusual path. Ideally, we'd like to ease guys in."
Regardless of which route the Mets choose, they are unlikely to find a starting pitcher at these Winter Meetings; the market for lower-tier starters typically does not develop until January. Though Bronson Arroyo, Ervin Santana, Ubaldo Jimenez and others may fly off the board at Disney, do not expect the Mets to be among those bidding on them.
"The availability isn't always apparent until later," Alderson said of the lower wave of arms. "We want to provide for that possibility. The top-tier guys typically are going to go, and the bottom-tier guys are going to be around a while longer. Sometimes, you can find value there."

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
Two Tucson, Arizona, residents, David Vigil and his wife Whitney Starr, are arrested for filing false liens against local officials in Oro Valley. Vigil and Starr describe themselves as "Freemen," though it is not clear that they are affiliated to the Montana Freemen (see 1993-1994 and March 16, 1999). They used Freemen-like legal tactics against local officials when those officials cited a relative of theirs for driving without a license and registration; in retaliation, Vigil and Starr filed false liens against the officials' property. John Evans of the Arizona Attorney General's Office says, "That ended up with these people assisting and filing enormous liens against police officers, most of the Oro Valley City Council, [and] the Mayor, alleging that they owed the Starrs millions of dollars." The liens were eventually dismissed. Authorities believe Vigil and Starr may be part of a larger group. [KOLD-TV, 11/7/2002]

- Jenny
The mysteries of the culinary world are many, and even those with self-evident answers continue to surprise and stump. Why do 60 seconds stand between a silken plate of cod and garbage? What is it about parsley? And when precisely does one feel like a nut, and when is it that one don't?
Me, I am always amazed how much better soup tastes on day three.
Yes I understand in the most theoretical sense that flavors need time to settle, to blend, to mix together like middle schoolers at a dance who can't really get it right the first time. But no time was this more clear than when I made Minestrone Soup.
I can't recall exactly what inspired me to make this –- I think someone was tweeting or blogging or bragging in some other electronic form about their version of minestrone, and I got a hankering. I decided to see if I could Jenny-fy it for weeknight cooking by substituting canned cannellini and garbanzo beans for the dry ones used here -- about ¾ of a can each.
In a twist to keep you all guessing, I used fresh green beans, not frozen (and the best looking zucchini I could find in the market), but then reverted to canned tomatoes. I considered using chicken stock for depth, but wanted to stay true to the vegetarian spirit that Foodwriter97426 was bringing.
I trimmed nearly an hour off the first set of instructions, given my canned beans. From there I followed the recipe word for word, using orzo as my pasta of choice. I had a bottle of Malbec left from a party the day before, and in that went at the end.
I confess that Sunday night, when it was all said and done, I was pleased with the speed of my soup, but felt it was a little bland. Two days went by and, realizing I needed a sack lunch, I packed it with low expectations and trudged up the hill to the Metro.
Lunch rolled around, and I pulled out my soup, some very good Parmesan and a cheese grater and got to work at the microwave. You can imagine that when you are a fish out of water at your new office (we're talking mackerel in the rain forest here), madly working the cheese grater at your desk does little to dispel the skepticism of your colleagues about your seriousness of purpose.
But let me tell you, this recipe two days after the fact, with a hefty dose of cheese, is just what the week-day doctor ordered.
Brown baggers, get to it. I recommend you bring a cloth napkin to work too. Lunch, even one reheated at the office in a dirty microwave near the forlorn box of Krispy Kreme donuts and several dirty coffee mugs, should always be a civilized affair.

OSHKOSH, Wis. (Blugolds.com) – The UW-Eau Claire football team had a tough time today, falling 50-13 to nationally-ranked UW-Oshkosh on J.J. Keller Field at Titan Stadium.
The Titans, who are ranked 18th in the American Football Coaches Association top 25 poll and 19th in the D3football.com top 25 poll, are off to a 5-0 start for the first time since 1968 while they are 2-0 in the conference. The Blugolds drop to 1-4 overall and 1-1 in WIAC play.
Oshkosh jumped out to a 26-0 lead by halftime. In the first half, the Blugolds punted four times while ending one drive on an interception, compiling just 127 yards of total offense (29 passing, 98 rushing). Oshkosh ended the half with 364 yards of total offense (243 rushing, 121 receiving) and had 21 first downs to seven for the Blugolds.
Despite being down by 26, the Blugolds started the second half with a touchdown on the opening drive. Austin Neu (Sr.-Iron Ridge, Wis./Hustisford) capped the eight-play, 75-yard drive with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Cody Gerver (So.-Mahtomedi, Minn.).
But on the next drive, Oshkosh drove 67 yards in five plays to the end zone to bring the margin back to 26 points. Oshkosh scored again on its next drive to take a 40-7 lead into the fourth quarter.
In the fourth, the Titans kicked a field goal to open the quarter and found their way to the end zone again late to build a 50-7 lead. On the final drive of the game, the Blugolds drove 70-yards in seven plays and Mark Munger (So.-Eau Claire, Wis./Memorial), who came in for Neu at quarterback on the final drive, ended the drive with a one-yard touchdown as time expired to make the final score 50-13.
The Titans finished with 637 yards of total offense, the most the Blugolds have given up since Oct. 14, 2000 in a game against UW-River Falls (788 yards allowed). Eau Claire had 298 yards of offense (147 passing, 151 receiving).
The 37-point margin of defeat is the largest all-time against the Titans while it is the 23rd largest margin in Blugold history. The last time the Blugolds gave up 50 or more points was in the contest against River Falls on Oct. 14, 2000.
Eau Claire will try to get back on track next Saturday when UW-La Crosse comes to Carson Park for a game that will be televised live on WQOW TV 18 in Eau Claire and WXOW T 19 in La Crosse. Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m.

Kudos & Kindness: Thank you for supporting McKenzie
Thank you for supporting McKenzie
We would like to thank everyone in South Lake Tahoe for donating and coming out to an evening for McKenzie Rose Eckman.
The fundraiser to help her fight acute lymphoblastic leukemia was held on March 1 at the American Legion Hall. It was a success way beyond anything we could have imagined.
This community is one big giant heart, the local merchants gave endlessly to the point where we almost had too many items to auction off and we also had a ton of excellent door prizes.
Jessica Biagini at Lira's was able to get Lira's to donate the bulk of appetizers. We also had food donated from Danny at Lake Taco, as well as several people who brought potluck items.
A special thank you to Casey Rise, who ran the silent auction, as well as some of her classmates drove up from Reno to assist with the events that evening.
Our efforts that night alone brought in $18,141, with countless other donations deposited into the McKenzie Rose Eckman account at El Dorado Savings, which is still accepting deposits
This would not have been possible without this entire community coming together.
Thank you.
All the coworkers at Meek's Tahoe/Meyers

On Monday's CBS This Morning, Charlie Rose and Erica Hill touted Massachusetts Democrat Elizabeth Warren's past time as "the government's chief watchdog during the 2008 bank bailout" as she was brought on to discuss JP Morgan Chase's $2 billion loss. Rose and Hill asked all of their questions from the left, and completely ommited any mention of the recent controversy over Warren's claim of Native American ancestry.
The anchor set up the Senate candidate to push for more regulations on banks without rebuttal: "It's appropriate to have some government oversight, and notwithstanding the fact that we're just coming out of this huge crisis." Hill even wondered if the banks themselves "should be broken up into smaller entities."
Rose began by mentioning only in passing that his guest was "the Democratic Senate candidate in that state [Massachusetts]." The liberal premise behind his first question was apparent: "What do you hope is the fallout from this, in terms of regulatory action?"
After Warren called for the resignation of JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon from the New York Federal Reserve board of directors, the anchor followed up by noting that Dimon "said that he supported 75 percent [sic] of Dodd/Frank, which was a principal regulation to come out." The senate candidate laughed this off, and replied that "what we have to remember is Dodd/Frank itself was a compromise, and now, what's happened is that the large financial institutions, led by Jamie Dimon, have gone after the regulators....They've done everything they can to stick with the idea that...there's no need for anyone from the outside looking at them. And I think that's just fundamentally wrong. It's wrong and it's dangerous."
Later in the segment, Hill asked her question about whether the banks should be broken up. As you might expect, Warren all but endorsed this idea: "The irony is that I was here talking about the risks posed by the largest financial institutions in 2008 and 2009, we talked about too much concentration in the banking industry; and now, here we are in 2012 with more concentration in the banking industry. The big have gotten bigger, and that's a danger."
Besides omitting the ancestry issue, the morning newscast didn't mention that Dimon was among the most frequent visitors to Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner during the months after his confirmation in 2009. The CEO was also complimented by President Obama in early 2009: "[T]here are a lot of banks that are actually pretty well managed; JP Morgan being a good example. Jamie Dimon, the CEO there; I don't think he should be punished for doing a pretty good job managing an enormous portfolio."
Exactly two weeks earlier, on April 30, CBS This Morning gave leftist New York Times columnist Paul Krugman a platform to call for massive government spending: "Now is not the time to be slashing....Now is the time to be doing public works, to be rehiring those school teachers, to get this economy moving again."
The full transcript of the interview of Elizabeth Warren, which began five minutes into the 7 am Eastern hour of Monday's CBS This Morning, can be found at MRC.org.

Shoaib Malik threw a match when he wanted another team to qualify.
When Australia were playing a particula match in the World Cup in 1999, they slowed down their run rate as it increased their chance of qualifying into the next round.
Now suppose a scenario exists like there are three teams, India, Australia and Kenya in a tri nation tournament. If Australia lose to Kenya in a particular match, it ensures that they face Kenya in the finals rather than India after a few rounds of round robi matches.
Now would it be okay for Australia to lose to Kenya to decide whom they face in the finals as they are in a POSITION to chose their opponents?
I would say yes and its not the teams but the tournament rules to blame if/when such a scneario comes up. In such a scenario the throwing of a particular match does seem the right thing to do.

Becca Bombora EOTD and collection review
The first look I did is with the blue liner as a lid shade and the gold as a liner and a bit of the gold used dry above the blue. (I took this at the end of the day, over 10 hours of wear and its lasted well).
The second look is as per the one in the Zuneta video, highlighting crème on lid, gold liner on inner eyelid and blue to line (I took this after about 2 hours and the highlighter is starting to crease a bit) In both looks I used a black tight lined for a bit of definition.
Although I quite like the looks I don't like not using a crease shade so I will use an additional shadow the next time I use this palette.
Overall thoughts:
Bombora palette: The Mai Tai lip-gloss is extremely sheer; I only get a hint of a nude peach. The texture is almost balm like but it does have some stickiness/tackiness to it. The Lip & Cheek Crème in Bougainvillea, although highly pigmented can be sheered out, it's a coral peach and lasts really well, it's a bit too warm for me on the lips though. The Highlighting Crème in Mazu does crease on the eye, however its no marketed as an eyeshade so I can't really complain. It's a great cheek highlighter as there is not over the top shimmer and it's a neutral gold, rather than being overly warm. The Raffia Eyeliner makes a really nice shadow and liner (you do need to use it wet for a liner though) the Sunburst liner is too yellow for my cool toned complexion to be able to use it as a shadow but I do like it as a liner. Both of the liners last very well and are smooth to apply with good pigmentation.
Beach tint Pink grapefruit: This is quite sheer but you can build it, it lasts really well, and I think the pinky peach shade is suitable for both cool or warm toned.
Sheer lip tint Leticia: again I think you can wear this if you are warm or cool, I'd say its almost a salmon pink on me, with a slight coral tone. Its quite pigmented for something that has tint in the name, its not very long lasting, but these types of lipstick never are.
Here are some more swatches (L-R) please click to enlarge: Beach Tint, Lip Tint, Palette (this time I have swatch the liners dry and then wet). Please see my previous Becca post for pictures of the products.
I bought all of these from Zuneta.com and they have a promo on at the moment where you get a free Becca tote when you purchase from this collection.

I love both of those eye looks - really summery and pretty.ReplyDelete
I am really lusting after this palette - I love both the looks you created too xReplyDelete
The combination of the blue and gold looks really nice on you, so light and fresh...very pretty. And I still like the look of the beach tint, I think I'll make that my first beach tint :-)ReplyDelete
Have a great weekend!
Hi Grace,ReplyDelete
Thanks, they are really nice summer shades,nice to wear something a bit different for a change :)
Hi mizzworthy,
thank you, I think you would really like this palette, your type of colours.
Hello Nina,
Glad you like, thanks, I do think I will get a lot of wear out of this palette. I think the beach tint would suit nearly everyone so may be a good one to start with, I'm impressed with how long it lasts. Enjoy your weekend too.

Did you love these muffins? Hope so!
Also, did you vote?!? Hope so!
Tuesday Chatter
Did you love these muffins? Hope so!
Did you love these muffins? Hope so!
Also, did you vote?!? Hope so!
I did bake these….twice. They weren`t bad (mostly baker issues!) :o)
oops….wrong place to post…..I'll try this again!
I didn't like them much, but in having thought about how they turned out, I might try them one more time. I'm wondering if the crumb topping would have held up better if I'd sprinkled it on toward the end of the baking time. (Course, I'm now having a "duh" moment: I used butter instead of shortening, which is probably specified because it won't melt into the muffin the way butter does.)
They were tastier than anticipated b/c of the shortening vs. butter…but even a half batch was too much for my family to eat since they weren't that great as leftovers.
Not a fan. I baked them in a jumbo muffin pan, so perhaps that contributed to the sinking that occurred. (Though I use this pan all the time for other muffins….!) I thought the flavor was okay overall. Not bad, just nothing superb!
I'll try again another time. I just expected more Wow. :)
I thought they were really good warm and right out of the oven. I'm not sure they're on my must bake again list though.
Not a fan.
I actually really liked them, but they are very similar to my great-grandma's coffee-cake that I grew up with, so maybe some nostalgia is accounting for that! Now, off to write up my post!
I used the butter flavored Crisco and they were yummy. Shouldn't have used a muffin tin as they overflowed and were impossible to get out without butchering. So mine were yummy, but not pretty!
Another "not a fan." The crumb topping sank into the muffin (I used shortening, as specified in the recipe) and the muffins completely tore apart when I tried to get them out of a well-greased muffin pan. But they were tasty, and leftovers were good warmed in a toaster oven. I used a #16 ice cream scoop, and got 18 muffins.

The Detroit-based Skillman Foundation is contributing $3.5 million to help offset health care cuts to city retirees.
Mediators in Detroit's bankruptcy made the announcement Tuesday.
The city no longer provides health insurance for some city retirees and has reduced benefits for others as part of its bankruptcy restructuring. The Skillman donation would help preserve health care benefits for families with children and grandchildren.
It isn't part of efforts by other foundations and private citizens to protect city-owned artwork from sale by funding municipal employee pensions. So far, foundations have committed about $370 million to that plan.
The Michigan Senate on Tuesday was considering legislation to spend $195 million to help shore up Detroit's pension funds.
The Detroit Institute of Arts has said it will raise an additional $100 million.

Q: I went to clean my filters and found worms! What are they doing there?
Gene – Tehachapi, CA
A: They're weird looking, they're tiny, and they're blood-red – or at least a creamy pink color. What are they? They're non-biting midge fly larvae, also known as bloodworms. Though they're an unsettling infestation to see in your filter, they're actually a sign that your pond is happy and healthy.
What's In a Name
Midge flies hail from the family Chironomidae, which includes more than 10,000 different species worldwide. Some varieties appear bright red in color thanks to a hemoglobin-type substance that helps them live with oxygen-depleted water, giving them their "bloodworm" nickname.
As adults, midge flies resemble mosquitoes, but they have fluffy antennae and no blood-sucking proboscis. Large numbers of them can be a nuisance as their droppings can cause damage to paint, brick and other surfaces. And when their tiny corpses pile up, they can cause a stink.
Feasting in Your Filter
These insects thrive in freshwater aquatic and semi-aquatic environments. In their larval stages, they live in tree holes, plants, rotting vegetation, soil and artificial containers – including filtration systems, infesting media pads where there's an abundance of organics from debris and fish waste. They spend their time attached to the container's solid surface and eat as food floats by.
Midge flies lay their eggs in water, preferring it to be still, clear, dark and safe from critters like fish and frogs that nosh on the larvae when they emerge. To protect themselves, the bloodworms actually create and live in tiny half-inch tubes they build from mud, algae and other naturally occurring resources. Look closely in your filter, and you'll probably see some of these worm-sized mud huts.
A Tasty Fish Treat
Don't worry: These little guys won't harm your pond or your fish. In fact, if one wriggles its way into your pond, it will be a welcome treat for your fish. Goldfish and other smaller fish will gobble them and their little mud homes; koi and other larger fish will treat them as tasty hors d'oeuvres.
Bloodworms are quite nutritious for fish. In fact, the insects are about 55 percent protein – which is a key nutrient fish need to grow, reproduce and maintain their health. So rather than balk at the tiny worms, scoop them out of your filter and give them to your pond dwellers. They'll thank you for them!

World Cup memories: Mario Kempes
ESPN FC writer Roger Bennett visited with players from past World Cups to collect their memories of playing on football's biggest stage. The following is an excerpt of Roger's conversation with former Argentina great Mario Kempes who led the Albiceleste to the 1978 title in his home country. Kempes recounts the incredible atmosphere during the final versus The Netherlands and how that first World Cup title earned Argentina worldwide respect.
"Once we stepped outside of the locker room, we were really focused at the challenge we had in front of us... We knew that we had a big responsibility, not because of the military dictatorship but down to the obligation... to our fans.
Back then, people had no clue about what was really going on in our country. After the truth became public, around 1982, we got to know. Before that, only the people that were affected knew first-hand what was going on.
We just got together to play soccer. After we discovered the truth, we realized that maybe soccer could not erase such pain, but somehow the match, those 90 minutes, helped people to take a brief pause and think about something else. Coach [Cesar] Menotti would give his pre-game talk before we left for the stadium so once we were inside of the locker room were left to our own business. He had emphasized we were there to give Argentinian soccer what it really deserved: To be on top, for all the right reasons. In the tunnel, we felt relaxed. We knew that the team had done everything as best as we could. There was just one more step ahead of us before we could claim the title. But we were also pretty respectful of the Netherlands, because their team had qualified for the final for the second straight World Cup and were more experienced than us. But respect was mutual, since we were the host nation. There was an incredible atmosphere in the stadium, but that was pretty normal in Argentina. Every time the national team took to the field, we had the confetti shower and the ticker-tape thing. I scored the first goal. I was right on the edge of the box. I received the pass, went through a couple of defenders, and when (Dutch goalkeeper) Jan Jongbloed came out trying to block me, I just dropped to the ground, and tipped the ball with my left foot to score. My second goal -- scored in extra time -- was similar. I got a pass from Daniel Bertoni, and after I kicked the ball, it bounced upwards off Jongbloed, and I was quicker than the defenders by a mere tenth of a second, to score again. Holland tied the game -- we had trained over and over to catch an opponent off-sides on a corner kicks. But that day, after the corner kick, we all pushed out, but Omar Larrosa was left behind and Dick Nanninga scored to allow the Netherlands to tie the game. It was a tough blow, because we thought that we had almost won the game, and they got us good with that one. But, on the positive side, that allowed us to go to overtime and helped me win the scoring title.
In extra time, the Netherlands could have easily scored once or twice in the opening minutes, but once we were able to possess the ball, we began to get the upper hand. The game felt so in the balance. It was 50-50.
For our third goal, I felt somebody pull my jersey, and I immediately raised my hand asking for a penalty kick. But it was my teammate Daniel Bertoni who had grabbed me! He took the ball away and scored. Right there, we felt that the World Cup was ours.
That squad was very good. Menotti had built a team that was very balanced. I had been the only player on a team outside of Argentina (Sevilla) but right after the World Cup, a lot of them went to different foreign leagues... and became icons. Winning that title changed the history of Argentinean soccer because it earned our team worldwide respect. We have two World Cup titles, the one from 1978 and the one from 1986. Our teams keep getting better and better, but still are maybe a couple of steps short from gaining even more respect."

Sale took slot money to ensure his chance at pitching in the bigs this season and it may pay dividends. The White Sox did not sign him to a major league deal, meaning if Sale remains in the big leagues throughout the remainder of the season, or if he goes down for fewer than 20 days before being recalled, he will not burn an option year. Depending on his development, he could be one of those four option year players anyways.
August 4, 2010
Chris Sale may not burn an option year this season

What do you call two Mexicans playing basketball?
Answer: Juan on Juan
Damn I am terrible at this!! I am going to go timeout now...:(
OT: This game seems really fun, I have yet to purchase it but I certainly will.
I like how you have to use certain moves to traverse the terrain and advance. I miss old school game play like this. Will indeed support this game considering it is also cross buy for both Vita and PS3.

Fibre Channel SAN Workloads
Feb 12 2020
6:00 pm
75 mins
Barry Maskas, HPE; Nishant Lodha, Marvell; Mark Jones, Broadcom
Fibre Channel (FC) SAN workloads are not difficult, but there are several people who do not understand how the workloads line up to appropriate storage protocol and their characteristics. Different workloads have different "Fingerprints," so to speak. Since FC SANs are block, they work very well with applications that have a lot of transactional data, a lot of random read/write loads, and are particularly good for virtual machine file systems.
This webinar will discuss:
•I/O fingerprints: I/O block sizes & IOPS requirements for various "FC SAN applications"
•An overview of application access patterns, guided by best practices and experience
•How FC fulfills these IOPS requirements and how CPU BW is as important as IOPS
We will briefly investigate application sensitivity to latency, and show how protocol can affect performance.

Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) for The Modern Networks
Jan 21 2020
43 mins
Wayne Xing, Network Solution Architecture, Visualzero Solutions, 6xCCIE, CISSP, VCP-NV
Organizations are deploying more applications in the cloud, implementing more devices in branch offices and consuming more bandwidth. Traditional connectivity options such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), Frame-Relay, Leased Line etc. can be expensive and slow to provision, and provide limited bandwidth in many locations.
Many organizations are looking for an agile connectivity solution for their digital transformation into the cloud era. SDWAN (software defined Wide Area Network) fundamentally creates a secure scalable fabric with the most limited amount of state on the edge device and performs most of the fabric decision making in the controller. This allows organizations to have the flexibility to make topologies as needed, add segments as needed and to be able to deliver into the environment new and old styles of capabilities while maintaining a well-developed routing environment.
Key takeaways:
- The combination of app content, app delivery and app consumption are resulting in an evolving WAN situation
- Challenges such as poor application experiences, increased WAN services spend, and a lack of visibility and control are making it difficult for IT to provide the business with a platform to support faster innovation
- Most IT organizations are interested in realizing a common set of benefits such as consistent high-quality user experiences, reduced cost, simplified operations and lower risk
- The journey to the next generation software defined WAN requires considering various technical capabilities such as transport independence, ubiquitous data plane, automatically secure routed endpoints, resiliency, application aware routing, cloud readiness, simple secure network segmentation, centralized policy enforcement and layer 4-7 flexible services insertion
- Migrating to a software defined WAN does not need to be difficult as long as one knows the best approach to a software-defined WAN environment.

Understanding Fibre Channel Scaling
Nov 6 2019
60 mins
Mark Rogov, Dell EMC; Brandon Hoff, Broadcom; J Metz, Cisco
One of Fibre Channel's greatest strengths is its ability to scale to thousands and thousands of nodes, while providing predictable performance. So, when we say that Fibre Channel has unmatched scalability, what does that actually mean? And how does it work?
We often hear about "designed from the ground up," but in this case it's actually true. From each individual link, to the overall domain architecture, each step along the way is intended to be approached in a scalable fashion.
In this webinar, we'll be breaking down the pieces of the puzzle that help give Fibre Channel its robustness when you're working at fabrics even greater than 10,000 nodes. We'll be talking about:
•What a deterministic storage network is
•Fabric management principles
•Negotiated credit transfers (buffer-to-buffer credits)
•Network Engineering/Design Principles
•Oversubscription and Fan-In Ratios
•Topologies that help scale
•Domains and Fabric limits
•Consistency of performance at scale
Along the way, we'll be talking about some of the ways that Fibre Channel differs from other popular storage networks as they approach large-scale environments, and how it handles issues that arise in such cases.
Please join us on November 6th at 10:00 am PT/1:00 pm ET for another educational webinar on Fibre Channel!

Vodafone Access Gateway 3G
3G networking for cave dwellers
Review The fuss surrounding femtocells is hard to avoid, analyst Berg Insight reckons 70 million of the things will be in use by 2014, but Vodafone's Access Gateway is the first femto product to hit the UK. It's essentially an access point base station for mobiles, so if you want Vodafone coverage where there is none, then it's hard to dispute that this product is the way to do it.
Vodafone's Access Gateway
As it stands though, the industry will have to find a better business model before we're all running our own base stations. The premise is a tiny base station that routes both incoming and outgoing calls over your own broadband connection. In doing so, it is effectively billing you twice for the bandwidth but, nevertheless, allows you to use a mobile phone in places where no signal reached before. Vodafone offers no discount on calls made over your femtocell, and data usage counts against your fair-use cap in the usual way.
The Access Gateway is also a 3G device, 2G handsets won't be able to connect to it, or use its functions. It is built by Alcatel-Lucent using chips from picoChip and comes with an external PSU and an Ethernet cable. On the box are four LEDs, the top two indicate if the power is on and the internet connection is valid, the bottom then indicates if the femtocell has successfully connected to the Vodafone back end, while the one above shows activity.
The really clever bit of femtocell technology is the auto-sensing it does to make sure it's not going to interfere with the macro network, or other nearby femtocells. Our box was up and running within an hour, but Vodafone warns that this process can take up to six hours, presumably a worse-case scenario.
You also need to register the phones you want to use with the box, through the Vodafone web site. Simply enter the femtocell serial number and up to 30 Vodafone numbers with whom you're prepared to share your broadband. However, the cell will only support four at users at a time. That's supposed to take up to 24 hours, presumably another worst-case scenario as we were up and running in about 30 minutes.
Register up to 30 handets, but only four can access the connection simultaneously
And up and running we were – all the handsets we used reported a strong 3G, HSPA, signal and data rates seems to confirm that. The range isn't terribly good, about 100 metres in the clear and we had to relocate the cell more centrally to cover a modest house, but comparable to Wi-Fi in our experience and solid once connected.

Day's Best: GOP support at state house for immigrant tuition bill
What a difference a year — and a thrashing at the polls delivered by a diversifying electorate — will make in the immigrant tuition bill debate.
A Post story details how a bill that would offer in-state tuition to Colorado illegal immigrant children is gaining support among Republican lawmakers.
That's a welcome change, to be sure.
Rep. Kevin Priola, R-Henderson, told the Post's Tim Hoover that he's considering voting for the bill, which probably will pass given that both chambers of the legislature are controlled by Democrats.
"I've been leaning toward it, especially with what's been coming down federally," Priola said, referring to the immigration reform legislation being debated in Washington D.C. "I think it's time to address that issue for a lot of kids in Colorado."
And Priola isn't the only one. State Sens. Greg Brophy, R-Wray, and Larry Crowder, R-Alamosa, are either considering supporting it (Brophy) or are on board (Crowder). State Rep. Cheri Gerou, R-Evergreen, said she is on the fence.
Not even a year ago, we were among those encouraging statehouse Republicans to allow a similar bill out of committee. It was not to be.
But this year, the tide seems to be turning on the issue both in Colorado and nationally. We're hopeful that Colorado's effort to allow illegal immigrant students who have grown up in the state to attend college at an affordable rate draws bipartisan support. It should.

It's a big three days in April for your New Orleans Saints.
The Saints made some solid moves in veteran free agency, especially when you consider the limited salary cap room the club possesses.
But, here's a fact: right now, the Saints roster isn't nearly as good as the one that ended the season with a playoff loss in San Francisco in 2011.
The Saints stellar veteran corp is aging, and the club needs an injection of youth to the roster.
With so many question marks on defense running back Chris Ivory is a luxury. My guess is before or during the draft the Saints will trade him for a draft pick.
What will the Saints do? Well, since Payton arrived in 2006, 19 of the Saints 42 selections have been used on defensive backs and offensive lineman.
The Saints obviously believe growing your own at those spots is critical.
Getting back to the Super Bowl, especially in the NFC, will be extremely difficult, but the Saints can shorten that journey with success in the 2013 NFL Draft.

STAND on the pedestrian walkway of the Greenpoint Avenue Bridge, and you might notice a vaguely ominous red brick tower on the Queens side of the Newtown Creek, looming over the railroad tracks and asphalt plants.
If Mitch Waxman is your guide, he will identify it as the derelict smokestack of Peter Van Iderstine's fat-rendering business, which first set up shop in 1855. But he won't stop there.
He will expound on the archaic waste-disposal operations that once flourished on the creek, conjuring scenes of putrescent horse carcasses floating in on barges from Manhattan and docks piled with manure three stories high. The narrative will extend to Cord Meyer's bone blackers and Conrad Wissel's night soil wharf — the gothic names of these forgotten businesses rattled off in a distinct Brooklyn accent.
At some point, he will start in on the horrors of the M. Kalbfleisch Chemical Works, eventually making his way to the sins of Standard Oil.
If the city's dead industries leave ghosts behind, Mr. Waxman is an adept medium.
The Newtown Creek watershed, his field of expertise, is a place where such specters are all too real. In the murky depths of the 3.8-mile estuary, the past haunts the present. Since the creek was designated a Superfund site in 2010, contractors from the Environmental Protection Agency have been dredging and testing in search of that past. The sludge acid that the Kalbfleisch factory sluiced into the water back in the 1830s is of more than academic concern.
Not that Mr. Waxman is any sort of an academic. While the Newtown Creek Alliance, an environmental advocacy group, lists him as its resident historian, his credentials were earned on the street and the Internet, through countless solitary walks and countless nights poring over obscure archives. ("Mitch got that title by proving it, over and over," said Kate Zidar, executive director of the organization.)
Formerly a comic-book artist and writer, Mr. Waxman earns his living doing photo retouching out of his apartment in Astoria, Queens. Since 2009, he has documented his passion for the creek — in oddly beautiful photography and beautifully odd prose — on his blog, The Newtown Pentacle.
Lately, he has been leading public walking tours of the waterfront for the alliance and other groups, as well as personally guiding anyone else who comes calling. He has lectured to local politicians and environmentalists, shepherded documentary filmmakers around Calvary Cemetery and taught German industrial ecology students a thing or two about sewage. Somehow, almost everyone interested in the polluted waterway seems to find his or her way to Mr. Waxman. He's become a docent of decay, the cicerone of Newtown Creek.
MR. WAXMAN begins his tours with a well-rehearsed opening line: "This is not the world you know."
For most visitors, that's probably true. The Newtown Creek area was once one of the nation's great manufacturing centers, the waterway carrying more freight than the Mississippi River. Walking around the massive factory buildings of the Degnon Terminal in Long Island City, Queens, now mostly repurposed as warehouses, you catch a glimpse of a lost working-class city only blocks from the gleaming condominiums now rising by the East River.
After World War II, that industrial greatness faded, just as its environmental cost started to become apparent. A 1950 sewer explosion in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, was the first indication of the huge quantities of petroleum poisoning the water and leaching into the soil. But the full extent of the damage wasn't discovered until the late 1970s: At least 17 million gallons of oil spilled over the previous century (more than the Exxon Valdez), much of which, after years of legal wrangling and recovery efforts, is still there.
Mr. Waxman calls the area a "municipal sacrifice zone" — the urban equivalent of the bomb test sites of Nevada. And his tours are meant in part to expose the unsavory infrastructure that has been shunted there. He can name the 19 waste-transfer stations lining the creek and point out each of the 23 combined sewer outflows that disgorge their contents into the water. The lurking danger of the creek's emanations is a constant undercurrent. He will intone: "The very air you're breathing is a poisonous fume!"
But despite the toxic atmosphere, Mr. Waxman is clearly in love with the place. Based on the enthusiastic groups that show up for each tour, that perverse attraction is shared by others.
The journalist Andrew Blackwell, who traveled to some of the world's most polluted places for his recent book, "Visit Sunny Chernobyl," seemed unsurprised that such a blighted area would hold an aesthetic appeal. Ravaged industrial sites, he suggested, might actually fulfill a longing for nature.
"Part of what people are looking for in a wilderness experience," Mr. Blackwell said, "is the sense that it's not a mediated thing, that it's not made for them. A place like Newtown Creek isn't a product. It's supposedly a place that no one wants to go. That almost makes it more wild, makes people feel like they're discovering something about the world."
Mr. Waxman's own discoveries began, strangely enough, as an effort to improve his health.
Until 2006, his life was sedentary and circumscribed, revolving around wife, dog and (primarily) computer. "My friends called me 'veal,' " he said, "because I never left the little white room."
That led to a heart attack at 39, a weeklong hospital stay and a command to exercise. So he began walking. Headphones blasting Black Sabbath, camera at his side, he circled out from Astoria, exploring colonial graveyards, abandoned factories and, eventually, the Newtown Creek waterfront.
"I started to see all these things I couldn't explain," he said. So began the cycle of wandering and research that continues to this day. "The more time you give it, the more stuff you find, and the more questions get asked," he said.
These questions brought him in contact with a circle of like-minded seekers: amateur urbanists and self-taught historians, railroad enthusiasts and infrastructure aficionados. In their company, Mr. Waxman distinguished himself as someone equally comfortable on the street and in the archive. "Mitch is the type that will go up to a stranger and ask things," said Kevin Walsh, creator of the popular urban history blog Forgotten New York. Mr. Waxman's social ease, combined with a willingness to share the knowledge he was acquiring, helped him "make allies among the people who work along the creek," Mr. Walsh said.
ONE day, Mr. Waxman signed up for a boat tour narrated by Bernard Ente, a maritime devotee from Maspeth. They hit it off, and Mr. Ente, a founding member of the Newtown Creek Alliance, became a sort of mentor. When he died, in April last year, Mr. Waxman essentially stepped into his shoes.
The distinctively apocalyptic spin he brings to his newfound role, however, is his alone. That "sense of looming menace" comes to full flower on his blog. An oddball mix of history, reportage and genre pastiche, it is written in a self-consciously florid prose modeled on H. P. Lovecraft, the cultish writer of pulp horror fiction. Slipping in and out of the voice of a demented antiquarian, the daily posts portray the creek as home to unspeakable, possibly supernatural, terrors.
"You have these buried secrets," he said, explaining the thinking behind the occult conceit. He's spotted early-19th-century terra-cotta pipes protruding from bulkheads, antique masonry sewers connected to who knows what. He added: "There really is no telling what's in the ground there."
The more Mr. Waxman discovers about the creek's hidden past, the more he has become an advocate for its survival. Last summer, while out on the water surveying bulkheads with the crusading conservation group Riverkeeper, he discovered and documented a previously unreported oil spill on the Queens side.
His fascination with the darker aspects of the landscape has made him a fitting counterpart to the environmentalists working toward its future. As E.P.A. scientists begin the long process of rehabilitating the waters, Mr. Waxman is engaged in a parallel effort. His work is a kind of historical remediation, reclaiming the waterway's forgotten role in the life of the city.
"It's an odd thing," he said. "The creek has been waiting for me all this time. And I've been waiting for it."

If you are new to gambling there are a lot of different things that can seem confusing and overwhelming. The truth is however that if you just give it some time and attention you will find that most games and rules are a lot easier than what they might seem at first. Most casino games on www.casinogamesreview.com are designed to be easy because casinos want the games to be easily available to everyone. A game that is overly complicated will likely attract less players which means that the casino will earn less money, and as we all know, casinos like to make money. Below you find the best casino portals in Europe where you can read reviews, guides and collect lots of casino bonuses.

To put it simple – you will get more bang for your buck, even if you leave the casino a losing player.

It used to be that anyone who wanted to get experience playing a casino game needed to go to a brick and mortar casino, gambling room or card hall to play that game – often with fairly high wagers. That is no longer the case. It is today possible to gain gaming experience for free in your very own home and already be an experienced player when you first go to a casino and play with other people present. This has been made possible by online casinos.

There is in fact no need to ever visit an offline casino if you don't want to since you can play all casino games online from the comfort of your own home. It can however be nice to visits a brick and mortar casino as well to get to know the atmosphere in such a casino – something which the online casinos never can duplicate to a full extent.
If you deposit real money in an online casino you usually get a bonus to play with, which means that you get more money to play for than you do when visiting a brick and mortar casino. It is however important to know that these bonuses usually are associated with wager requirements that must be fulfilled before you can take out the bonus and any winnings. Often, your first deposit amount will be locked in as well. It is important to check what the wager requirements is, which games count towards the requirement (sometimes certain games are excluded or only count partially) and whether you need to meet the requirement to be allowed to withdraw any money at all or if only the bonus is looked until you meet the requirements. A smaller bonus can in fact be more generous than a larger one depending on the conditions of the wager requirement.
On this site you will be able to learn the rules of different casino games and how to increase your chances of winning at said games. You will also find information that will teach you how to evaluate casino bonuses; how to see which ones are worth getting and which ones are best to avoid. This includes information about no deposit casino bonuses.

BEIRUT, Lebanon, March 26 (UPI) -- The apparent rapprochement, brokered by U.S. President Barack Obama, between Middle Eastern military heavyweights Israel and is expected to have a significant strategic effect on the turbulent region.
Most importantly, the moves toward re-establishing the military alliance between the two non-Arab powers will be a major boost for U.S. diplomacy as its regional influence wanes.
It also signals cooperation to contain the Syrian bloodbath that threatens to destabilize the region and to develop vast natural gas fields under the eastern Mediterranean.
But it's likely this will take time. There's "little indication that a breakthrough was imminent," observed the U.S. global security consultancy Stratfor.
Obama's diplomatic coup came in a last-minute huddle with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in a trailer on the tarmac at Ben Gurion Airport outside Tel Aviv Friday as Obama prepared to end a three-day visit to Israel, his first since he took office in January 2009.
It had all the trappings of a well-staged diplomatic drama.
The official version is that after convincing the obdurate Netanyahu to take the initiative to break the impasse, Obama telephoned Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara and then put Netanyahu on the line.
During the 30-minute call, Netanyahu apologized for the Israeli navy's attack May 31, 2010, on the Turkish vessel Mavi Marmara in international waters in which nine Turks were killed.
The ship was leading a flotilla carrying humanitarian aid for Palestinians in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, blockaded by the Israelis.
Turkey, under Erdogan's Islamist government, and Israel had been at odds since December 2008 over the Israeli invasion of Gaza in an abortive bid to crush Hamas, in which some 1,400 Palestinians, mostly civilians, were killed.
Netanyahu steadfastly refused to apologize for the killings or to pay compensation to the victims' families despite international opprobrium.
Diplomatic relations between the countries, which had been military allies since the 1960s, discreetly so for most of that time, effectively ended.
So did Turkey's access to Israel's high-tech defense industry and Israel's access to Turkish air space -- situated on Iran's western border.
Netanyahu's apology, which Obama had been prodding him to make throughout his visit, may have broken the ice between two key U.S. allies in one a tough part of the world.
But Israeli and Turkish officials insist that normalizing relations will be a gradual process of rebuilding trust, if not affection, on both sides. A senior Turkish official suggested it could be four months before ambassadors are exchanged again.
Israel's economic blockade of Gaza remains in place with no indication it will be lifted anytime soon, as Ankara wants. That could hold things up.
But it should be noted that Friday's Obama surprise followed months of discreet meetings, in Cairo and elsewhere, between senior intelligence officials on both sides to resolve the dispute, with U.S. encouragement.
There remain hard-line factions on both sides that don't favor rapprochement.
But events in the region, most notably the Syrian war, Iran's confrontation with the West and Israel, and the ongoing discovery of major offshore gas fields in Israel and Cyprus, who'll likely be joined by Lebanon in a few years, will undoubtedly dictate a revived Israeli-Turkish alliance.
Both countries have become internationally isolated. Erdogan's efforts to cozy up to Iran and Syria have ended in failure.
Now Erdogan's drive to restore Turkey as the region's paramount power and transform it into the key energy hub is taking precedence.
Israel and Cyprus have talked of jointly exporting their gas to Europe via Greece.
But, as Matthew Bryza, former U.S. ambassador to Azerbaijan, observed, in the long run, a Cypriot pipeline to Turkey would make most commercial sense.
Erdogan has demonstrated his pragmatism by engaging in serious peace talks with Turkey's Kurdish separatists to end a ruinous 40-year conflict.
Syria, particularly the Damascus regime's chemical weapons arsenal, is the most immediate threat.
Erdogan supports the Syrian rebels and, like the Israelis, fears his country could be a target if the regime, which many see as doomed, lashes out in its death throes -- or if al-Qaida gets its hands on those weapons.
Israel has another imperative. Turkish airspace is the way into Iran for its bombers if Netanyahu decides to mount pre-emptive strikes against Tehran's nuclear facilities.
