Arthur Cole spoke with Brandon Hoff, director of product management for Emulex.
Virtual LANs were first developed as a means to help enterprises cope with the increased traffic from server virtualization. In the cloud, however, even vLANs can't seem to keep up. What's needed is an entirely new breed of dynamic network infrastructure that can scale to astronomical levels while maintaining support for multi-tenant environments. Emulex's Brandon Hoff says the most promising development of late is overlay networking (ON), which combines Layer 2 and Layer 3 technologies in support of elastic compute architectures. The question is which of the two ON standards currently under development will capture the market.
Cole: It seems that virtual LAN technology was a lifesaver when enterprises were trying to cope with the extra traffic from virtualized servers. How is the technology holding up in the cloud?
Hoff: vLAN technology has been a great first step for enterprises that are expanding their virtual infrastructure because the hypervisor can present multiple networks for all types of communications — the hypervisor management interface can be on one network, each tenant in a multi-tenant data center can have their own network for isolation, and multiple networks can be moved around the data center to support virtual machine migration operations over L2 networks. But as the enterprise evolves its infrastructure beyond virtualization to cloud computing, it needs to focus on application consolidation and virtual infrastructure deployment that can support dynamic and elastic compute environments, as well as the new network requirements that are being driven by the cloud. It needs to address requirements for elastic and dynamic compute infrastructures at scale. In the enterprise, a handful of tenants, such as enterprise divisions or departments, may live in the on-premise virtual infrastructure, but in the cloud the virtualized infrastructure must serve multiple customers, individual divisions or departments inside each customer, and be flexible enough that virtual workloads can be moved into, out of and between clouds, on demand.
The current practice of host-centric segmentation based on vLANs and L2 subnets, with server clusters separated by L3 physical IP networks, limit today's multi-tenant cloud infrastructure from meaningful network scaling for longer-term growth. Basically, the number of vLANs available to the cloud isn't large enough.
To scale existing networking technologies for multi-tenant infrastructures, enterprises need to deploy new solutions that can enable VM communication and migration across Layer 3 boundaries without impacting connectivity. At the same time, they must also ensure isolation for thousands of logical network segments and maintain existing VM IP addresses and Media Access Control (MAC) addresses no matter where the workload is migrated.
The answer is overlay networking. Overlay networking creates a virtual network where the traffic from each VM is mapped to a specific virtual network; the packets are encapsulated in a MAC-in-IP format, and then routed transparently over the existing physical infrastructure. There are currently two formats for building overlay networks under consideration in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). These are Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE), initiated by Microsoft and others, and Virtual eXtensible Local Area Networks (VXLAN), initiated by VMware and others. Both standards are designed to enable the efficient and fluid movement of virtual resources across cloud infrastructures for large-scale and cloud-scale VM deployments.
Cole: How exactly will they help vLANs scale to cloud levels?
Hoff: NVGRE and VXLAN each provide L2 overlay schemes over an L3 network to enable virtual L2 connections running over two or more physical L3 networks, while giving the appearance to the virtual workloads that they share the same physical L2 subnet — even though the workloads may be running anywhere. This enables inter-VM communications or VM migrations across L3 networks that operate as if they belonged to the same L2 subnet, allowing for cost-effective, cloud-level scalability. Both of these standards encapsulate Ethernet L2 Frames into an IP packet marked by a new 24-bit identifier. These new identifiers enable more than 16 million L2 logical networks to operate within the same administrative domain, a scalability improvement of many orders of magnitude over the 4,094 vLAN segment limit prescribed by the IEEE.
NVGRE is designed to encapsulate Ethernet L2 Frames in a GRE packet. GRE is an existing protocol that has been in use for a long time. Now, it is extended all the way back to the server as the end-point and managed through software-defined networking.
VXLAN is a new format designed to encapsulate Ethernet L2 Frames in a UDP packet. One benefit of the VXLAN standard is that it does define some control plane functionality, which may be beneficial in some network environments.
It will be interesting to see how these two standards evolve since, at least initially, they will co-exist. Microsoft has built NVGRE into Windows Server 2012 and VMware has built VXLANs into VMware 5.1 — both of which are expected to launch this year.
Cole: As more logical layers are stacked on top of each other, don't enterprises, or even telecommunications companies, run the risk of hampering network performance across the board?
Hoff: For enterprise data centers, and for telecommunication companies as well, east-west traffic was initially limited to within a rack or between a handful of racks that were on a physical L2 network. Today, east-west traffic is growing to become a dominant data center traffic type. As hybrid clouds expand and consolidate multiple customers on to the same physical infrastructure with overlay networking, there is a risk of hampering network performance. For example, a high performance workload that requires high-bandwidth connections to multiple servers cannot be individually moved into the cloud because the network connection may become a bottleneck. Also, extending an overlay network across low-bandwidth L3 network links can also cause performance problems. To ensure that each workload gets the network resources it needs, network virtualization management tools are essential.
While overlay networks can run independently of the physical network, they are dependent on the performance and availability of the underlying network. Therefore overlay network policies must reflect the underlying infrastructure, and likewise, physical network changes must take into account the virtual networks being supported. Software management layers that integrate virtual machine management with virtual and physical network management are an important piece of the puzzle. These are technologies that Emulex is also bringing to the market as overlay networks become more popular.

Chris DeSalvo recently posted a great article, The future that everyone forgot: Some of the work we did at Danger. The article covers the history of Danger, the company that created the Sidekick. It might seem a bit odd to get nostalgic about a phone that I didn't own, but that period he writes about was the start of the smartphone revolution. I have always owned a smartphone. I came into the cell phone game a little late in 2003 with a Handspring (before they came back to Palm) Treo 300. At that time, I was very much plugged into the smartphone world. I did a ton of research before making the jump to that little Treo, and can remember looking closely at the Danger Hiptop (which later became the Sidekick). In fact, I can recall reading a magazine article about the new Danger devices in a Barnes and Noble store (I know… a paper magazine in a bricks and mortar bookstore – times have sure changed!). At that same time, I also remember doing a lot of looking at the Kyocera 6035 and the Kyocera 7135 before finally settling on the Treo 300.
The article above brought back a lot of memories of a time when having an always connected device in your pocket was a new thing. Most of the features he writes about had never been done before, or even thought of at the time and are almost an afterthought today. It's probably harder to find a dumb-phone today than it is to find a smartphone. It was a nice trip down memory lane.
This is a real game, not some joke from The Onion. The premise of the game is exactly what you'd expect. You run around as a goat causing mischief, doing goat things… hilarity ensues.
You can pre-order it at their site. It's coming to Steam on April 1st (April Fools joke?). I'm very tempted to order.
Well, here we are again approaching another Black Friday and (lamely named) Cyber Monday. That means it's time again for my list of holiday geek gift guides. This list was conceived many years ago to help with my own gift shopping for friends and family. Because of my interested in technology and gadgets (and general geekery), most of these lists fall into those categories, but there are a few that are useful for general gift giving as well. As usual, I'll keep this list up to date as I encounter additional lists. If you know of any I may have misted, leave a comment and I'll get it added.
(Guides from previous years: 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004)
We're a few weeks into football season this year and the first two game were scorchers. Usually games in the beginning of September can be a bit warm, but seemed even more-so this year with temps around 90 degrees. A dinner conversation the week before the first game prompted me to look into creating a tailgate mister to cool us off a bit before and after the game. The mister was pretty easy to put together with about $30-40 worth of parts from the local hardware store.
Everything worked pretty well, and I think we're beyond the warm games now this year, but we'll definitely be pulling this out for the early season games in years to come.
When Google announced the Chromecast a few weeks back, I got online and ordered one. It was originally going to be a gift, but after playing with it, I decided to hold onto it. At only $35.00, I'm not out much (gift or otherwise). It's a pretty nice device. It comes in a nice little slide-out package. The Chromecast device has a little slot while the rest of the goodies (power adapter, USB cable, and HDMI extender cable) sit underneath. The dongle (hee hee) has a standard HDMI connector on one end and a micro USB port for power on the rounded back-end. The TV I plugged it into was a bit older, so I did not have a convenient HDMI port on the side and had to use the extender to plug it in because the angle was too sharp on the port for my TV. I also did not have a USB port on this TV, which could power the device, and had to use the included USB power adapter. Everything plugged into my TV looked a little ugly, but I sure took advantage of all the accessories they included. I have a newer TV in the basement that probably wouldn't need all the extras.
Once everything was plugged in, I switched the TV input to the correct HDMI port and had a nice screen with a URL to continue setup. I used my phone to hit the URL so it redirected me to the Google Play Store to download the Chromecast app. The app will ask you for an ID displayed on the screen to identify itself, and will then walk you through the rest of the setup. This includes providing it access to your WiFi and giving it a name. Once you've done those things, you can start streaming media to the TV.
The streaming interface works great. You simply touch a little Chromecast icon and it throws stuff to your TV from apps that support it. Right now (and this is the only negative at the moment), that's limited to just a few apps. The list currently includes, Google Play Music and Movies, Netflix, YouTube. There are apparently a few others in the works. The thing that makes it irrelevant is that you can also stream a tab straight from the Google Chrome browser (Mac or Windows). If you install the Chromecast extension you can send just about anything else you need to the TV (Hulu, Amazon, whatever). I'm looking forward to more apps that take advantage of the Chromecast, but so far am very happy with it.
The Chromecast is a handy little device.
I've actually had these new flavors sitting around for a few months and haven't gotten around to posting them until now.
The first two, Duo and Lakrits Mint were found in the US at a World Market store. The Duo flavor is a strawberry shell with a lime center and works pretty well together. The Lakrits Mint is very similar if not the same as the licorice flavor that I've been able to find for quite some time. In fact, I remember finding licorice flavor, called lakrids or drop ladrids back in the 90's at a Dutch bakery in Pella Iowa. They're good if you like licorice flavor. It's kind of a minty licorice, which works well together.
The next flavor I've been able to find pretty regularly in the US at grocery stores. It's not as common as the standard mint and fruit, but I've been seeing it more often lately. It's a half and half roll with one side filled with piñacolada and the other side with mojito. These are both wonderful! I mean, how could it not be good when you cross tropical drinks with the best candy in the world? The mojito is a nice minty lime flavor, which the piñacolada is a creamy pineapple. They both taste like the drink they are named after. It's a lovely mentos for popping while you're sitting on the beach.
The last flavor is one I found on a recent trip to Europe. I saw these at a few place, but these were purchased in Barcelona at a little news/candy stand on the street. The flavor is frutas ácidas, and is similar to the sour flavor found in the US. The wrapper is very different and I think (can't quite remember what was in the US roll) that the actual fruit flavors were a bit different. Either way, it was pretty good.
I just got the new Google "app launcher" on my Google home page. Gone is the standard black navigation bar at the top of the page. It has been replaced by an "apps" button the pops down to reveal an icon for 10 of the popular Google apps. The pop down window isn't even full. I wonder if they'll add the ability to add more, or customize what shows up in that window if this catches on.

Great design has been a trend since the late 90's – form + function. We're currently seeing hardware and software really coming together with great design. Devices have become fashion and not just a piece of electronics that you use.
Things used to be all about function and the software or skin was thrown together at the end. The iPod set a standard to do it with great design together.
Great design needs to be stay true to form. It starts with the function and the implementation of that function – being as pure to that function as possible. It's about subtracting and subtracting to get it down to that core function. Design is architecture itself. Each step of the process is working towards solving that problem… the "why". Design just isn't in the product itself, but the packaging, the manual, the unboxing, everything – it is all tied together. It is all about clarity for what you're doing and why, and making sure everyone knows that.
You can take any product and ask yourself how you would make it better?
You need to be open to all types of data especially when going into a new market and be able to tweak something to get it right, even if it delays a product. It comes down to solving the problem.
Astro Teller
Does your work support crazy or risky "moonshot" ideas? Are you given the freedom to take risks? Many times it takes a war to think big, or risky, or "Moonshot". Moonshot thinking starts takes a global scale problem, then you have to make some sort of sci-fi proposal to make that problem go away. There has to be some reality in the sci-fi sounding idea so you can convince others that it will actually work. Google supports "Moonshot" ideas. Ideas that are worth doing that would matter to the entire planet.
Why does this matter?
Is thinking like this worth it? It matters because when you try to do something radically hard, you approach the problem differently than when you try to make something incrementally better. If you attack the problem as if it's solvable even though you don't know how to solve it, the results will shock you. Perspective shifting is way more than being smart.
Google[X] is like Peter Pan's with PhD's. If failure doesn't happen at least half the time, we're not shooting high enough. It isn't about money. If you're adding huge amounts of value to the world, the money will come later. A "classic business plan" isn't needed. Just get it out there. When you think about the impact and positivity of the impact you think about and solve problems differently.
Google[X] found a way to determine your location inside on google maps, and spun it into Google Geo.
Google[X] is trying to create an AI that works like a neural network. They're working on visual identification and language identification and learning.

He has bravery and creativity that make him successful. You have to be willing to learn from your failures and move forward. You have to be humble to be audacious. If you're going slowly enough that you don't break your prototypes, you'll never go radically fast.
A moonshot factory isn't just picking something crazy to go after, it's moonshot built on moonshot. It goes from who you hire, to how you break stuff. It's moonshots all the way down.

How do you know this idea is going to work?
This question asks you for proof of the future. This is a fair question because designers love change, but businesses do not. This is a balance between pushing change and avoiding risk in business.
Strategy is to determine what to make over a short time and over a long time.
This is a common issue – the balance between disruptive ideas and a business's idea that they need to mitigate risk/change and save money.

The average recruiter spends about 6 seconds on your resume and everything typically looks the same (MS Word template with Times New Roman). How do you make your resume stand out? You want your resume to tell a story about yourself. Many people short-change their resume and don't tell a story with it.
It's important to know your audience. The creative resume doesn't work for everyone. There will be some instances where you'll still need your typical word doc version.
Drawing Defined: doodling, sketching – it doesn't have to be complicated.
Drawing is appropriate creatively because it touched on so many things. Don't say, "I can't draw worth crap." It's easy to come up with an excuse not to do something. Set those excuses aside. It can fill the gap when the spoken word falls short.
There is a massive history of drawing. From cave drawings to Jesus to Egypt to large land drawings only seen from the air. Monks would even draw in the margins of their work. Comic books have inspired lifetimes of drawers from the 30's. Commercial art has been around for over 100 years.
Computers have moved things to the "drawing downgrade" and has become a bit of a crutch for drawing. Saul Bass was interviewed in the 90's and stated that if you don't know how to draw you are in deep trouble. You gotta be a one man band to start and know the nature of that process. You need all the tools available to think. One of those tools is drawing. "Design is thinking made visual."
Drawing enhances the narrative and can communicate powerfully.
Drawing today has moved towards a tool-driven process (photoshop or software). Don't be a "tooler". Software is just a tool. You need to have a balance between analog and digital skills. Exercise your drawing muscles. Sometime it is difficult because of time or deadlines.
Doodles to capture ideas and lock in it's essence. You can then move forward to refine it. It doesn't take much but is an easy way to get things out. It allows you to explore ideas quickly.
Images and pictures have better effect and can communicate 6x more effectively than non-visual communications. 75% of your brain sensory processing is dedicated to visual information.
Drawing improves your thinking – doodling in a meeting helps you to remember things better. Drawing enhances learning.
There is no secret to it. Just do it and you will improve. Enjoy the struggle, it won't be easy at first. For the next 21 days, make drawing a creative habit. Focus on something you like to draw.

The biggest challenge of responsive design is decision making.
The Times of London
The reading experience has changed. Even the web isn't a great experience, but then the iPad showed up so The Times developed a way to read it there. Then Android tablets showed up and made it more complex (sizes resolutions formats… fragmentation). They created a web view that would work on all tablet platforms.
Responsive Deliverables
What are our goals for a responsive design? Modules is the new way for developing sites. Little bundles of HTML and JS get pulled together to make a full website. This is done to isolate things in the design. SMACSS by Snook. We aren't creating websites, we are creating systems.

Incumbent technologies do not want to give ways to new tech.

Copyright is now on the radar in some of the most powerful/rich people in the US. The new 6 strikes law goes a little far. Example: If you don't pay a toll 6 times, you don't have access to the road any more. Things have moved from civil to criminal, so there are no protections for people pulled down if it is incorrect.
Ben Huh
DMCA provides safe-harbor provision for content sites. Self-protection created this law, not foresight. The internet is about expression, and we don't know what the future of expression is going to be because it doesn't exist yet. Intellectual Property is NOT property. Things exist for the public good.
Wendy Seltzer
Copyright is the "engine of free expression". Copyright is a negotiated exclusion – who is invited to the table to make the laws? Typically the incumbents who already have copyrights. In 1998, the DMCA the entertainment industry and internet service providers negotiated that law.
Derek Khanna
The copyright institution was created to provide a content monopoly. Cell phone unlocking is now a federal crime (after the DMCA removed that provision this year). You can get 5 years in prison and half a million dollar fine. A petition received 140,000 signatures which got legislation turned around. Next Step: DMCA was written in a way to make certain technologies illegal going forward. It makes assistive technology for the blind and deaf illegal.
Margot Kaminski
Existing copyright law used to go after individual users through on certain platforms (napster, kazaa, gorkster). There has a been a shift to move the cost of copyright enforcement from individual companies to tax payers. NET Act of 1997 and PRO-IP Act of 2008. New measures going forward: ACTA, TPP. TAFTA (and we don't know what is is these trade agreements).
How do you pick an issue Derek? It is about small victories – disentangling the myth with actual on-the-ground issues.
How does copyright overlap with 1st amendment issues? The courts have thrown it back to congress as long as it doesn't touch freedom of expression.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - The company that makes Miller beer in Milwaukee is about to own the nation's third-largest maker of apple cider.
Miller-Coors says it will buy the Crispin Cider Company of Minneapolis.
The purchase price was not disclosed.
Joe Heron started the firm in 2008 with a drier-tasting apple cider than the sweeter brands which dominate the market.
Crispin Cider is now available in 18 states, with annual sales of around $5 million.
Miller-Coors says it will operate the cider company as an independent entity within its craft brewing division. That division is called 10th and Blake – and it includes Leinenkugel beer made in Chippewa Falls.

Most of us have tried a fad diet at some point in our lives. Many of us even know a 'yo yo dieter', someone who is nearly always trying the latest dieting trend. But whether you're looking to lose weight or just be a bit healthier, dieting can sometimes give us interesting insights into our own eating patterns.
Not all diets work for everyone, and there is a lot of conflicting advice. This overview aims to give you a nudge in the right direction — and also show you what diets to avoid!
Here are the pros and cons of 10 diet trends of 2013:
Juice cleansing
Juice cleansing (aka juice fasting) is a type of detox diet where a person consumes only freshly juiced fruits and vegetables. A juice cleanse can last anywhere from several days to a few weeks, and during this time the dieter abstains from all other food.
Advocates claim juice cleansing helps them slim down, reduce bloating, shrink their stomach, and can help overcome habitual reliance on coffee and soda. It is also said to help 'purify' the body through removing and flushing out toxins. Some juice dieters even use salt water or a herbal laxative to assist with the detoxification.
The juice cleanse is seen by some health experts as controversial, especially for extended periods of time. As all the dieter's nutrients are derived from juice for the duration of the cleanse they can miss out on essential fiber and proteins.
Pros: Short term, quick results, can have detoxification benefits.
Cons: Difficult to stick to, requires preparation, can be awkward for office and social settings, can be unsuitable for those with prior health issues.
The zone diet
The zone diet works on the idea that managing insulin levels can result in more effective weight control. The diet's main principle is that every meal we eat needs to contain 30% protein, 30% good fats like nuts, avocado and olive oil, and the remaining 40% unrefined vegetable carbohydrates.
Creator Dr Barry Sears claims this precise mix of protein, fats and carbs regulates our blood-sugar levels and promotes long term weight loss. Any carbohydrates like pasta, bread, cereals, cakes and sweets are definitely a no go area on this diet. Sears claims these foods spike our insulin and cause weight gain, heart disease and diabetes.
The zone diet is fairly moderate as far as popular diets go. His principles, if you can follow them, promote a healthy, nutritious diet but don't leave a lot of room for cheat days and weekend treats.
Pros: You get to eat every few hours, good for your heart, keeps blood sugar levels regular, good mix of healthy fats and unrefined carbs.
Cons: Limits placed on white carbs and sugars which can be difficult in social situations, no calorie limits which can test self control of some.

The continuation of something beautiful… Such is my life 💏 #mandala #thightattoo @johncollinstattoo @belovedbook2014 @13rosestattoo (at 13 Roses Tattoo Parlour)
I found my 2013 life summary at the bottom of a #loveletter I received from an old friend today. This week has been extra moving with everything coming together & feeling like I have finally found my niche within a city, family, & healthy relationships. I have focused alot of energy in the past few months towards getting to a place of peace & stability, & looking back on where I was last year at this time- I am amazed & thankful for the obstacles I have overcome through forgiveness, remaining humble, hard work, & in finding a real love.
I am so grateful for where I have found myself at the closing of this year. My future is open & ready to continue my story. My message in all of this? We all make mistakes & we all invest in unhealthy people, habits, or mindsets… but not all is lost & there is no reason to find resentment in that time as long as you are strong enough to 1⃣ step back & recognize it 2⃣ move on with grace 3⃣ learn from it so you can continue to the next step.
& then one day- my whole life, all of the lessons I had taught & learned, all the pain & growth, it all made sense… & it was all worth it 🌞🔮🌝 @johncollinstattoo
"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies."
HOLY EPIC FIND at a "free book" table in #L5P this morning! The 1995 Gianni Versace fashion collection 😍 Perfect condition, famous faces, photographed by my idol #RichardAvedon 👌😁📷 #newfavoritething #prince #eltonjohn #versace #atlanta
(Source: constructionpaper)
I spent the pass two years over thinking what I wanted to get as a tattoo for a cover-up, but still something meaningful- & became more stressed about all the concepts that I almost decided to just forget about it completely. Finally I let down my guard & overanalyzing mentality, & put my trust in the hands of my artist to do what he wanted. The result? Something feminine, representing a life of well-rounded behaviors & understandings, with bits of images that I can connect with my photography, my patterns, my art, my family, & my journey towards a life of surrounding myself with beautiful energy & meditation that will remind me to live with substance & in harmony with the world. 🌎🌙🌸🌀 @johncollinstattoo, you are truly amazing at what you do. I am in love with your creation that will be a part of me forever ❤ So sorry for the butt pic but I just had to share with you guys! Outline session one down, session two for shading to come soon 😁 @13rosestattoo #johncollinstattoo #atlanta

This Tech Giant is Making a Bold Move
Dr. Osman is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen in 1975, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) still dominates the Application Software Industry. For 2011, the firm was recognized as the largest software maker in the world with revenues over $50 billion. Moreover, with a market cap of more than $240 billion, Microsoft is among the top 5 most valuable companies in the globe.
Smartphone OS Market
Although, Microsoft remains a technology giant, it is missing out in the smart phone business arena. As the smart phone industry started its expansion, the firm struggled to keep up with its peers. In an effort to boost sales, Microsoft revamped its aging mobile operating system, Windows Mobile, and introduced the new and improved Windows Phone OS. Aiming to receive high returns from its new OS, the firm established strategic partnerships with leading smart phone manufactures, such as Nokia (NYSE: NOK) and Samsung.
At the moment, Microsoft faces great challenges within the market and numbers are not in favor of its new OS. Based on a recent report by IDC, the industry is dominated by Google's Android and Apple's iPhone mobile operating systems.
For Q3 2012, Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) remained at the forefront by achieving a new record in quarterly shipments. Google shipped 136 million Android handsets and claimed a 75 percent market share. Google literally crushed all rivals by almost doubling its shipments compared to last year. Second, by far, came Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) iOS handsets. Apart from, Google, Apple was the only one to achieve a double digit market share of 15 percent. However, things do not look so bright for Apple. The late launch of iPhone 5 and its lack of innovation compared to previous years' editions are causing some concerns. Apple is still a dominant player by controlling over 34 percent of U.S. smart phone subscribers. Nevertheless, it needs to step it up in order to regain ground lost to its major peer.
After two years from its first launch, Windows Phone handsets gained a 2 percent market share. Even though, Microsoft controls a very small portion of the market, still Windows Phone 7 handset shipments marked a 140 percent year-over-year change. Recently, the company revealed its new Windows Phone 8 OS, which is expected to boost sales starting 4Q 2012.
Where is Windows Phone OS Heading?
New devices operating WP8 hit the stores in November. Microsoft, backed by leading manufacturers, expects increased volumes to help it climb to the third position in the market. As of September 2012, Nokia's Windows Phone achieved an over 10 percent market share in Italy. For the first time, the platform hit double-digit share in a single country. For the same period, RIM's (NASDAQ: BBRY) Blackberry share declined to 3.5 percent. Overall, analyst estimations suggest that, by 2015, Windows Phone platform will hold the second position globally, leaving behind iOS and Blackberry. Although RIM's BB10 is getting good reviews, its late launch in early 2013 is causing trouble. For Q3 2012, RIM shipped about 53 percent fewer handsets compared to the same period in 2011.
For the new Lumia devices, operating WP8, market acceptance in Europe is high. The Lumia 920 has topped the charts and exceeded even iPhone 5 in preorders. The company is targeting the U.S. market by sealing a deal with leading carrier Verizon (NYSE: VZ). Nokia, once a dominant mobile phone provider, established a relationship with Microsoft in 2011, hoping to make a successful comeback. Increased volumes of the new handsets will mark Nokia's clear shot to rising from the dead. Currently, Nokia is leading the Windows Phone market along with Samsung and HTC.
Samsung has gained a lot by relying on the Android operating system. However, recently the company lost over $1 billion in a patent verdict versus Apple. What does this really mean for Microsoft? Microsoft could be considered as a haven for vendors, free from any legal complications. In case Samsung decides to shift from Android towards Windows Phone, Microsoft's OS will be even more attractive.
Foolish Summary
At the moment, Microsoft is trading at around $30. Throughout 2012, the stock has performed nicely by returning over 10 percent. Fundamentally, Microsoft has several positives. The current P/E ratio of almost 14 indicates that the stock is relatively pricey. However, with a forward P/E ratio of 9.10 and a price-to-free cash flow of over 11, the stock looks pretty attractive. In addition with a gross margin of 75 percent, and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.14, the company shows solid control of expenses. Overall, Microsoft's future appears bright. Microsoft is rising as a competitive player in the smart phone industry with rumors suggesting that it might even launch its own phone.

A Mobile Carrier for M&A Speculation, Not for Investment
Anh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In the stock market, investors should be aware of any large price swings. We all know that it would be very irrational for a business, which was worth $1 yesterday, is worth only 50 cents or $2 today. We should not be influenced by it. Instead, we should consider it as an opportunity and take full advantage.
What happened? This morning, Sprint Nextel Corporation (NYSE: S) jumped as high as 13.3% pre-market, from $5.04 to $5.70 per share. Year to date, Sprint's stock price has experienced a nice rise from $2.34 at the beginning of the year.
At $5.70 per share, the total market capitalization is $17.1 billion. With cash on hand of $6.7 billion and $21 billion interest-bearing debt, the enterprise value is as high as $31.4 billion.
Why? The sudden rise in its stock price is due to the acquisition news between Softbank and Sprint Nextel. Japan's third largest mobile carrier was in talks to acquire more than two-thirds of Sprint Nextel for at least $12.8 billion. It said that the Sprint acquisition would make the procurement of smartphones cheaper for Softbank. If $12.8 billion represents two-thirds of Sprint Nextel, Softbank would place a $19.2 billion valuation on the target.
Earlier this year, Sprint Nextel offered $8 billion (debt included) for MetroPCS . But yesterday, Sprint Nextel postponed its counterbid for MetroPCS because it wanted to look into Deutsche Telekom's regulatory filing for MetroPCS/T-Mobile deal. An announcement of the merger has pushed its stock price more than double since the beginning of the year.
My take: Among mobile carriers in the US, Sprint Nextel doesn't seem to be attractive. It is behind AT&T (NYSE: T) and Verizon (NYSE: VZ) in developing LTE network for new 4G standard. It is interesting to note that Sprint Nextel's market capitalization is $17.1 billion, whereas the market cap of AT&T and Verizon is 8-12 times higher, of $213 billion and $130.4 billion respectively. Sprint Nextel is trading at a 1.6x P/B whereas AT&T is at 2.1x and Verizon is at 3.5x. It seems to be cheap on a relative basis. However, the company is carrying itself a mountain of debt which is more than its market capitalization. Its D/E ratio is 2.3x, much higher than that of AT&T (0.6x) and Verizon (1.3x). Personally, I think Sprint Nextel could only be a good stock to play on a speculative M&A news basis, but certainly not a good stock for long-term investment.

The Honeycomb Cycle in Real Estate
AbstractA change in market conditions can trigger a cyclical response in the housing market, a cycle in both prices and number of transactions. This is caused not only by production lags but also by the reactions of buyers and sellers. The fact that many buyers are also sellers, and vice versa, has a special effect on this cycle. In this paper a theory of this cycle in prices and transactions is developed and empirically tested. It is found that volume changes are much more closely related statistically to changes in market conditions that are price changes. A clear cycle is found in two of the four towns studied.

A man who led police on a wild wrong-way chase on Interstates 80 and 15 appeared to have been smoking methamphetamine as he tried to elude pursuing Utah Highway Patrol troopers.
During the chase last Friday afternoon, the 52-year-old Taylorsville man — whose two decades old criminal record includes past drug-related violations as well as assaulting an officer and forgery — was seen by troopers puffing on a glass pipe allegedly loaded with the drug.

|Post a Comment
On Monday, the suspect remained in Salt Lake County jail in lieu of $19,460 bail. His booking entry included charges ranging from third-degree felony counts of fleeing police while causing property damage and possession of a controlled substance to misdemeanor counts of reckless driving, reckless endangerment and driving while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
UHP Cpl. Todd Johnson said the suspect's 1995 Jeep Cherokee was first spotted traveling westbound in the eastbound lanes of I-80 near 700 East late Friday morning. A pursuit began and continued in the wrong-way lanes of I-80 and I-15, eventually ending when troopers executed a PIT maneuver — purposely collided with the Jeep on 5300 South westbound and pinning it against a utility pole.

The modes of reproduction in the charadriiforms are only slightly less diverse than the food habits. Nearly all are ground nesters, laying few eggs (two to four in most families; up to six in jacanas) often with little or no nesting material. Usually the eggs are protectively coloured. Some species nest in crevices or burrows, a few in trees. Many are colonial, with aggregations running to over a million pairs. Sex reversal, in which the female is more brightly coloured than the male and takes a dominant role in courtship whereas the male incubates the eggs and rears the young, is found in most jacanas, painted snipe, and phalaropes.

Points of Interest
- When she first told some of the students on her college cycling team that she would race with them, she regretted it. But since she had made the promise, she raced.
- She was "introduced" to the president of her college when she totaled her car in front of his house. That lasting impression has since been eclipsed by her brilliant cycling career and the president wrote to tell her as much.
- She is dedicated to her yoga practice. At the 2009 Giro Donne, she did a yoga podcast each morning before the stage — on hotel balconies, in basements, in abandoned lots. The grounded, soothing, and joyful sensation she gained also freed her mind and she ended up second overall and first in the King of the Mountain classification...coincidence?
As a teenager, Mara's first racing experience was in the harsh, sandblasted, yet ethereal desert south of Moab, Utah. She went there to compete in a 24-hour mountain bike race at the invitation of a friend who asked her to be part of a junior women's team. There were no high-tech team kits, only dyed tank tops for jerseys. Instead of clipless pedals, Mara raced with flat pedals over the unyielding rocky terrain. She would remark later that "miraculously, we didn't die," and the experience proved inspiring enough for her to continue mountain biking for the next year.
She was a swimmer before she was a cyclist, so when she entered Whitman College in 2004 it made sense for her to keep doing what she knew — long-distance freestyle events. Swimming at Whitman, however, was a seasonal sport, and she was so accustomed to swimming year-round that when spring arrived so did uncertainty as to what to do next.
Her solution to filling the void left by swimming was to try collegiate cycling. She won a cherry pie in her first race. The pastry confirmed that Mara had talent; the national title for the Divison II Women's Road Race that she won at the end of the season proved it.
She turned pro in 2006. In her second year as a professional cyclist won the U.S. Elite National Championships road title and placed fourth in the time trial, took a podium placing in the Montreal World Cup, won the Tour of the Gila and represented the U.S.A. at the road World Championships.
2010 marked a banner year for Mara, starting with the distinction of being the first American to win the Giro Donne (or the Giro Ciclistico Internazionale Femminile). She repeated the feat at the 2013 Giro Rosa.
To balance out the intense training required of a professional road racer, Mara practices and teaches vinyasa yoga in her native Boulder, Colo.Date of Birth: November 14, 1985

Named for Sean O'Casey's play Juno and the Paycock, the press went into hibernation in 1990 and when the magazine was revived in 1997 we began talking about starting to publish books once more. Over 30+ years our focus has shifted from publishing innovative fiction and poetry books to producing literary anthologies. We are always on the lookout for edgy flip new writing but have a full-plate until the end of 2009.

[T]his type of fantasy is common among us wage earners, especially in early September when the daily grind restarts. Now we are "working for the man", but one day we will make movies, set up an organic prune company, or finally write that novel.That may help with the thinking about selling out. Many artists I know are much happier working during the day and making their art on their own time. There's a great pressure to make your art salable, instead of just doing it to please yourself and doing it to your own specifications and satisfaction. Most artists I know who are full-time artists are quite entrepreneurial and business-oriented as well as being creative; they're much more hard-nosed than the folks I know who are talented artists (who also sell work, win awards, etc.) but who routinely support themselves with a corporate paycheck.
However, it's usually best to let these fantasies stay fantasies. For most people, being a hack – doing routine work for money – is the happiest, simplest and probably even the most authentic way to live.
At the root of my housemate's fantasy was a common delusion: that the authentic self is an artist. The idea is that though the actual you sits in the office, the true you is a kind of Picasso. ... Staying put saves them lots of unhappiness. The hack's life is fairly easy. Your work just has to be good enough. You don't have to put your soul into it and aim for perfection. You know how to do the job, you hand it in and they pay you.

Rate Dr. Sanjay K. Reddy
Dr. Sanjay K. Reddy's Ratings
I went to Dr. Reddy with regards to diverticulitis and intestinal issues. He spent less than 2 minutes with me, patted my lower intestinal area, and then had his assistant hand me a booklet for diet. I felt confused and uncared for by Dr. Reddy. A couple of weeks later I called his office again as I was still in pain, constipated and feeling awful. That was on a Thursday. I did not get a call back so I called 5days later on Tuesday and spoke to his assistant. She spoke to Dr. Reddy and called me back and scheduled me for a CAT scan. But it had to be the place he uses and no other imaging specialist and that it would be a week later for the CAT scan because that is how long it typically took for them to confirm my insurance. Now we are talking 12 later from my initial call on the Thursday. When they got the results from the CAT scan the assistant called me and advised the diverticulitis was not irritated and that they would call in a prescription used for IBS. If he had check my medical records the prescription he called in was the same prescription my family doctor called in a couple months earlier and I could not use the prescription because it super constipated me. So today I called and needed my medical records for a STD claim. When I got home and read the records it only contained my visit where he patted my belly and handed me a diet pamphlet. Nothing of my calls, after that, the CAT scan results, the prescribed medication for IBS. So a $5000.00 CAT is not in his records and prescribed medication not in the records either. I am strongly disappointed by how Dr. Reddy and his office have handled me.

I was very ill with Crohn's and had just relocated to Florida. I found Dr. Reddy's name in the phone book as a digestive disease specialist. My first appointment, he was very polite and caring and thorough in the diagnosis process and started me on Remicade infusions. I have been in remission for over 3 years. Dr. Reddy has even visited me when I was in the infusion room just to check on me outside of regular office visits. He is so concerned for his patients and I give him a hug when I see him. I am so thankful I found him and would recommend him to anybody suffering from digestive problems. He will not only get to the root of the problem but will hold your hand through all steps of your illness and/or recovery.

Dr Reddy is very kind, gentle, patient and knowledgeable. His nurse is very sweet too.

Dr. Reddy is caring, competent and thorough. He is genuinely concerned in my whole body well being, not just my gastrointestinal issues. I readily recommend him to friends and convinced my father to switch to him. He spends ample time and I've never felt rushed. I cannot imagine anyone not feeling satisfied and confident in his care.

I went for my first appointment and was so happy with DR. Reddy and the staff. He is personable, respectable, passionate and cares about his patients (health, meds, etc). On my first visit, he treated me as if was his best friends. After my follow-up procedure, the follow through and caring for his "best friend" was exceptional. Dr. Reddy has over 10 years experience in internal medicine and gastroenterology and was able to, in detail explain and answer all my questions/concerns. There are 3 local offices in the Orlando area that make it feasible for office visits around my schedule. I had a great overall experience from start to finish, and then some. He is an advocate for feedback (good or bad) and is always wanting to improve the care and service he provides.

I have been going to Dr Reddy since I moved to Orlando about 6 years ago. He has performed several procedures on me and had many office visits for my condition. Him and his staff have been nothing short of fantastic. I complain about a lot of Dr's but this is not one of them. I actually enjoy seeing Dr Reddy and talking with him every time I go. I would highly recommend him and his staff. They also have several offices so you don't have to drive as far.

I switched to Dr Reddy from one of the 'most respected GI's in town' (according to my PCP) that was a total train wreck; I was so happy with Reddy that I sent my parents and 2 co-workers. All of us LOVE his bedside manner, his uptodate attitudes about meds (even herbs), and especially his practical advice about co-pays and insurance. I think he works with medical students at UCF, and this gives me some hope about future docs!

The Kindle app is a must-have resource for every homeschool family. Thousands of free E-Books, including most classic literature titles, are available for free download. You can install the Kindle app on your PC, Mac, and mobile devices, and the Whispersync technology will synchronize all of your E-Books and E-Publications so that you can pick up your reading where you left off—no matter which device you are using. For example, I download E-Books with the Kindle app and they automatically are synchronized on my PC, iPhone, and iPad so that I can keep up with my reading wherever I am throughout the day. This is a perfect resource for busy homeschooling families! Some of our favorite E-Books that we have downloaded for free include classical literature and G. A. Henty titles.
