Using Connection Manager to protect a database
Posted by Martin Bach on July 11, 2011
I have known about Oracle's connection manager (CMAN) for quite a while but never managed to use it in anger. In short there was no need to do so. Now however I have been asked to help in finding a solution to an interesting problem.
A long story short is that access to databases has to be governed via a mechanism that worked well with firewalls and allowed to regulate access to databases based on rule sets. CMAN can do that, and a few other things that are out of scope of this article.
The architecture I use in this post includes a number of hosts. Simulating end users I created a VM named client, and it's on the 192.168.99.0/24 network. The "router" is named CMAN in a fit of creativity, and it connects the 192.168.99.0/24 network to the database network on 192.168.100.0/24 network. The database server to which access is regulated via CMAN is named CMANDB. Crucially, there is no routing enabled on the CMAN host. In other words, there is no direct connection possible from the client to the database server. Additional protection of the database host could have been achieved by using firewall rules, but that was out of scope of this post.
Overview of Connection Manager 11.2
For those of you who aren't familiar with CMAN, here's a short summary (based on the official Oracle documentation).
Configuration of Oracle Connection Manager (CMAN) allows the clients to connect through a firewall [I haven't verified this yet, ed]. CMAN is an executable that allows clients to connect despite a firewall being in place between the client and server. CMAN is similar to the Listener in that it reads a configuration file [called CMAN.ora, ed], which contains an address that Oracle Connection Manager listens for incoming connections. CMAN starts similar to the Listener and will enter a LISTEN state.
This solution [to the firewall issue with TCP redirects, ed] will make the REDIRECT happen inside the firewall and the client will not see it; CMAN comports as a proxy service between the client and the real database listener.
Interestingly, Connection Manager is fully integrated into the FAN/FCF framework and equally suitable for UCP connection pools.
Installing Connection Manager
Connection Manager is part of the Oracle client, and you can install it by choosing the "custom" option. From the list of selectable options, pick "Oracle Net Listener" and "Oracle Connection Manager" plus any others you might need.
From there on it's exactly the same as any other client installation. You should probably consider applying the latest PSU to the client installation.
A quick test with 2 separate networks reveals how the concept actually works. As I said in the introductoin the following hosts are used:
- cman: 192.168.99.224
- cmandb: 192.168.100.225
- client: 192.168.99.31
The networks in use are:
- Public network: 192.168.99.0/24
- Private network: 192.168.100.0/24
Crucially, CMANDB is on a different network than the other hosts with cman acting as the arbiter on 220.127.116.11.
As indicated, connection manager has been installed on host "cman", with IP 192.168.99.224 and listens on port 1521. The corresponding cman.ora file has been configured as follows in $CLIENT_HOME/network/admin:
cman1 = (configuration= (address= (protocol=tcp)(host=192.168.99.224)(port=1521) ) (rule_list= (rule=(src=192.168.99.224)(dst=127.0.0.1)(srv=cmon)(act=accept)) (rule=(src=192.168.99.0/24)(dst=192.168.100.225)(srv=*)(act=accept)) ) )
The file has been left in this minimalistic state deliberately, please consult the documentation for options available. The CMAN listener – not to be confused with the net8 listener – listens on port 1521.
There are two minimalistic rules:
- Rule number one is necessary to allow management access to Connection Manager. Without it, CMAN will not start.
- Rule number two actually governs access to the database hosts on CMANDB
There might be another one needed if IPv6 is in use on the host. Should CMAN not start and complain about TNS-04014 and TNS-12529 check MOS 1059938.1 for a solution.
The gateway host has 2 network interfaces, one for each network:
[root@cman ~]# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:3E:F2:34:56 inet addr:192.168.99.224 Bcast:192.168.99.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1209 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:854 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:105895 (103.4 KiB) TX bytes:147462 (144.0 KiB) Interrupt:17 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:3E:52:4A:56 inet addr:192.168.100.224 Bcast:192.168.100.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:334 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:151 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:36425 (35.5 KiB) TX bytes:22141 (21.6 KiB) Interrupt:16
Configuration on host "CMANDB"
Note that host 192.168.100.225 is on the private network! The database CMANDB has its local and remote listener configured using the below entries in tnsnames.ora:
[oracle@cmandb admin]$ cat tnsnames.ora LOCAL_CMANDB = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(PORT = 1521)(HOST = 192.168.100.225)) ) ) REMOTE_CMANDB = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(PORT = 1521)(HOST = 192.168.100.224)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(PORT = 1521)(HOST = 192.168.100.225)) ) ) CMAN_LSNR = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(PORT = 1521)(HOST = 192.168.99.224)) ) )
Translated into human language, this means:
- local listener is set to local_cmandb
- remote listener is set to remote_cmandb
- CMAN_LSNR is used for a test to verify that a connection to the CMAN listener is possible from this host
It should be pointed out at this stage that this applies to single instance databases. If I find the time I'll write a post about CMAN and RAC later.
The host had only one network interface, allowing connections to the CMAN host:
[root@cmandb ~]# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:3E:12:14:51 inet addr:192.168.100.225 Bcast:192.168.100.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:627422 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:456584 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2241758430 (2.0 GiB) TX bytes:32751153 (31.2 MiB)
After the database listener parameters have been changed to LOCAL_CMANDB and REMOTE_CMANDB, the alert log on the CMAN host recorded a number of service registrations. This is important as it allows Connection Manager to hand the connection request off to the database:
[oracle@cman trace]$ grep cmandb * 08-JUL-2011 10:19:55 * service_register * cmandb * 0 08-JUL-2011 10:25:28 * service_update * cmandb * 0 08-JUL-2011 10:35:28 * service_update * cmandb * 0 [...] 08-JUL-2011 11:15:10 * service_update * cmandb * 0 08-JUL-2011 11:15:28 * service_update * cmandb * 0 [oracle@cman trace]$
Additionally, the CMAN processes now know about the database service CMANDB:
CMCTL:cman1> show services Services Summary... Proxy service "cmgw" has 1 instance(s). Instance "cman", status READY, has 2 handler(s) for this service... Handler(s): "cmgw001" established:0 refused:0 current:0 max:256 state:ready <machine: 127.0.0.1, pid: 2298> (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=127.0.0.1)(PORT=23589)) "cmgw000" established:0 refused:0 current:0 max:256 state:ready <machine: 127.0.0.1, pid: 2294> (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=127.0.0.1)(PORT=31911)) Service "cmandb" has 1 instance(s).

CMCTL:cman1>
The previous output has been obtained from cmctl, the CMAN control utility.
Connectivity Test
With the setup completed it was time to perform a test from a third host on the (public) network. Its IP address is 192.168.99.31. The below TNSnames entries were created:
[oracle@client admin]$ cat tnsnames.ora CMAN = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PORT=1521)(HOST=192.168.99.224)(PROTOCOL=TCP)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = cmandb) (SERVER = DEDICATED) ) ) DIRECT = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PORT=1521)(HOST=192.168.100.225)(PROTOCOL=TCP)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = cmandb) (SERVER = DEDICATED) ) )
The CMAN entry uses the Connection Manager gateway host to connect to database CMANDB, whereas the DIRECT entry tries to bypass the latter. A tnsping should show whether or not this is possible. Before any of the testing can take place it is necessary to start CMAN using "cmctl startup -c cman1".
[oracle@client admin]$ tnsping direct TNS Ping Utility for Linux: Version 184.108.40.206.0 - Production on 08-JUL-2011 11:19:47 Copyright (c) 1997, 2009, Oracle. All rights reserved. Used parameter files: Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PORT=1521)(HOST=192.168.100.225)(PROTOCOL=TCP))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = cmandb) (SERVER = DEDICATED))) TNS-12543: TNS:destination host unreachable [oracle@client admin]$ tnsping cman TNS Ping Utility for Linux: Version 22.214.171.124.0 - Production on 08-JUL-2011 10:53:27 Copyright (c) 1997, 2009, Oracle.

Now that proves that a direct connection is impossible, and also that the connection manager's listener is working. A tnsping doesn't imply that a connection is possible though, this requires an end to end test with SQL*Plus:
[oracle@client admin]$ sqlplus system/xxx@cman SQL*Plus: Release 18.104.22.168.0 Production on Fri Jul 8 10:55:39 2011 Copyright (c) 1982, 2009, Oracle. All rights reserved.

The successful connection is also recorded in the CMAN log file:
Fri Jul 08 10:55:39 2011 08-JUL-2011 10:55:39 * (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=cmandb)(SERVER=DEDICATED)(CID=(PROGRAM=sqlplus@client)(HOST=client)(USER=oracle))) * (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=192.168.99.31)(PORT=16794)) * establish * cmandb * 0 (LOG_RECORD=(TIMESTAMP=08-JUL-2011 10:55:39)(EVENT=Ready)(CONN NO=0))
My idea to limit access to the database via rules seems to have been working.

Martin – when you say "but because of the way Oracle connections work this proved impossible" what do you mean? You mean because a listener accepts for any service/SID connection request from any source network? Isn't there some way of restricting that in config (or am I getting confused)? Alternatively if you have a db host running, say, both DR and UAT instances, you could have two different listeners (e.g. live and test) and then simply restrict access by the firewall.
Just a thought,

We were connecting to the remote databases through CMAN (we were using it as proxy) in my previous company. To increase the security, there were also VPN tunnels between our company network and the remote networks.
As I remember, unpatched 10g version on windows, had some memory leak problems, and we were restarting its service periodically under heavy loads, but 11g version was working stable.
CMAN also supports SSL connections (although we haven't used/tested that feature).

PHILADELPHIA — Lane Johnson was nervous last Friday night, but not because it was his first NFL game.
Instead, the Philadelphia Eagles rookie right tackle was worried about the birth of his son the next day. After the game, Johnson grabbed a quick bite to eat, slept a few hours, then caught a 6 a.m. ET flight to Oklahoma.
The birth was induced, so Johnson was able to make arrangements in advance to be there with his wife, Chelsea.
"It was kind of shocking when he was finally here," Johnson said. "He's been in my wife for nine months. Definitely shocked the first few hours, but now, I've been able to grasp it and look forward to him and my wife coming up here."
When asked for a scouting report on the newborn, named David Jace Johnson, father praised his new son's hands.
"His hands are freakishly huge for a baby," he said. "Probably as big as some of the smaller guys on our team right now. He's going to be a big kid."
That might not be an exaggeration, either, judging by the picture Johnson posted of his young son on Twitter. After all, Johnson is 6-6, his father and father-in-law are also that height, and Chelsea is 5-11.
Johnson's new infant corresponds with the infancy of his NFL career. Ever since the Eagles drafted him fourth overall last April, he has been described as raw but with lots of potential.
Johnson showed that potential Friday. He graded out the best among the offensive linemen in the Eagles' 31-22 loss to the New England Patriots.
That didn't surprise Eagles center Jason Kelce.
PHOTOS: 32 NFL rookies to watch
"By looking at the film, you couldn't even tell that he was a rookie out there," Kelce said. "He really did a good job of flying around, blocking people. He had a really good game for his first game."
Kelce knows about the trials and tribulations of that first NFL game. He started his first preseason game as a rookie in 2011, and that was without the benefit of the spring organized team activities, which were canceled because of the lockout.
"That first game, it's very chaotic in the mental aspect of it," he said. "There are so many things going on that it's hard to focus, and he did a really good job. You didn't see that sense of nervousness on him."
It would have been understandable for Johnson's mind to have wandered during the game Friday. But Eagles coach Chip Kelly had reassured him that it was never a question about allowing Johnson to return home so he could witness the birth.
"I think it was really important for him to be there," Kelly said. "I think where it fell in the season and for a guy like him who has been here every single day since we drafted him, his attention to detail, how hard he works and all of that, it was absolutely no question.
"There are certain things that I think come up in everybody's life that kind of supersede what we're doing out here. So he didn't seem to miss a beat when he jumped right back in."
Johnson said it wasn't hard focusing on the game Friday, then shifting his attention to family. Similarly, he said it wasn't hard for him to turn his attention to the Eagles' next game, Thursday against the Carolina Panthers, now that he's back.
"The last thing I want to do is get big-headed, then get out there and look terrible," Johnson said. "It was only the first game, there are a lot of games in front of me. I'm just trying to be consistent. That's the main thing in this league."
That's also true in life, a lesson that Johnson might impart to his young son.

what is wavier? and multilpe ones?? also when he was held at the us border deportion jail they had told him it was his first deportion he had the right to fix his papers. im confused.
If you have this question, you definitely need a lawyer. Generally, any person who spent over a year in the country unlawfully, or who has been deported, is inadmissible (meaning, cannot return lawfully) for 10 years. To lift this bar, you need a waiver (perdon) - special "forgiveness" from the Government.

Raw Food Diet: Extremely Healthy or Just Extreme?
How healthy is this trendy eating style? Severe diets are making headlines, claiming to reverse diabetes and cut heart disease risk.
In the upcoming documentary Raw for 30 Days, six diabetics eat a vegan, organic diet of uncooked nuts, seeds and veggies. By the end, all have gone off insulin and most have lost about 25 pounds.
A raw-food diet consists of mostly plant-based foods that aren't heated above 115 degrees or so. Proponents say it helps ease many conditions, from migraines to arthritis.
But it's hard-core. "And the diet leaves out a lot of foods," says Andrea Giancoli of the American Dietetic Association. "A balanced diet includes raw and cooked foods."
Another trendy plan: no food at all. In a study, people who fasted one day a month had lower rates of heart disease. Fasting may give a rest to cells constantly exposed to glucose.
Both diets look promising but are tough to stay with. Until research confirms the findings, your best bet is a healthy, diverse diet that you can stick to for life.
Thanks! You're on our list.
And about to get a whole lot healthier.

If there's any company that's faced some ups and downs, surely it's Spyker. The Dutch coachbuilder originally started out in 1880 and shut down in 1926, laying dormant until resurfacing in 1999. Things were going alright until Spyker tried running its own F1 team (which as fellow niche European sports car manufacturers Caterham and Marussia could tell you, is not a good idea) then set its sights on Saab. Of course we all know how that turned out and nearly drove the company into bankruptcy.

It seems as if Spyker CEO Victor Muller has made a decision on whether or not to pursue a legal battle between his company and General Motors. Spyker has announced it will appeal a US District Court decision to throw out the company's lawsuit against GM. As you may recall, on June 10 Judge Gershwin Drain ruled tht GM had a right to approve or disapprove Spyker's sale of Saab to Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile. Spyker sued GM for some $3 billion, claiming that the American automaker had forced

US District Judge Gershwin Drain has dismissed a $3-billion lawsuit Spyker filed against General Motors. In the suit, Spyker accused GM of attempting to bankrupt Saab after the US automaker had already sold the company to Spyker. GM in effect blocked the sale of Saab to China's Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile Company by prohibiting the transfer of some of its intellectual property. But the court found that GM had a "contractual right" to approve or disapprove any change of ownership. Furtherm

Canadian registered charities seeking to comply with Canada's new anti-spam law (CASL) recently received some disappointing news. CASL is a very complex law and many important issues remain ambiguous and uncertain. Several registered charities under the Income Tax Act, however, had thought that they could avoid some of the turmoil that non-profits and businesses were facing as they sought to address the implications of compliance with a regulatory regime that regulates all commercial electronic messages. Registered charities had obtained, under the Industry Canada Regulations published in December 2013, an exemption from the regulation of commercial electronic messages provisions of CASL (Section 6) for messages sent for the "primary purpose" of fundraising.
While this exemption was good news for charities, uncertainty remained about what "primary purpose" might mean and how "fundraising" was to be interpreted.
Imagine Canada describes itself as "A national charitable organization that supports charities and nonprofits so they can support Canadians and communities they serve". Imagine Canada reported that it had entered into discussions with Industry Canada, one of the regulators responsible for certain aspects of CASL, to seek clarification on aspects of how registered charities would be treated under CASL. On June 5, Imagine Canada issued an "Issue Alert" on its website and to many registered charities on how they believed charities' activities would be treated under CASL. Many charities responded favorably to such guidance, which gave them a direction forward in planning their CASL-compliance activities.
Unfortunately, the desired certainty may have been illusory. On June 25, less than a week before CASL's commercial electronic message regulations come into force, Imagine Canada issued a further "Issue Alert" indicating that the CRTC advised that they disagreed with the advice provided by Industry Canada officials. A link to that alert is here: http://www.imaginecanada.ca/who-we-are/whats-new/news/canada%E2%80%99s-anti-spam-law-casl-imagine-canada-seeks-clarification-crtc-about
Further, the CRTC did not give specific guidance on their interpretation for Imagine Canada to disseminate to Canadian charities. Rather, according to the "Issue Alert":
"The CRTC has yet to issue official guidance on the exemption as it applies to charities and has indicated that an FAQ document pertaining to registered charities will be issued in the coming weeks. [Note: After CASL comes into force.] As such, the full extent of the discrepancies between the interpretation provided by Industry Canada, the authors of the legislation and regulations, and the CRTC, may only become clear after the legislation takes effect.
We have written to the CRTC asking to meet with them immediately to obtain clarification and guidance to assist charities."
"The CRTC has yet to issue official guidance on the exemption as it applies to charities and has indicated that an FAQ document pertaining to registered charities will be issued in the coming weeks. [Note: After CASL comes into force.] As such, the full extent of the discrepancies between the interpretation provided by Industry Canada, the authors of the legislation and regulations, and the CRTC, may only become clear after the legislation takes effect.
We have written to the CRTC asking to meet with them immediately to obtain clarification and guidance to assist charities."
It is very unfortunate that registered charities, like non-profits and commercial concerns in Canada, will need to await clarity on many open issues under the new law until after the law is in place.
It is hoped that the uncertainty created by the new law will be given prominent consideration in enforcement decisions by the CRTC in respect of the compliance efforts of legitimate businesses, nonprofits and registered charities as they seek to navigate its requirements.

8162 Tasting Notes
steepster is making me mad this morning. It won't let me comment on people's tasting notes, but it's hit or miss…so sometimes i can, othertimes i can't. I WILL NOT BE SILENCED DAMNIT! lol
i am scrambling around like a madwoman today – need to get some work done, pack AGAIN, get ready to leave the house this afternoon and try to at least help my other half with a few things around the house. I feel terrible that he's on his own all month.
This tea was pulled out because it's my oldest tea (january) and because i need to finish something things up soon because Terri and Nicole maaay have exploded my cupboard a little…at least it's largely samples lol
I didn't have this problem, but then I'm not a very good commenter either, so I only tried it out once. :/ At least we can post on the boards now. Are you getting TOSed again?
mmmmm creamy tea for which i cannot remember the name of. FU BRICK – life in teacup. We picked this one out because of sars review of camelia sinesis' version of this tea. Plus it's more fun to drink pu with two!
I played the harp today toooo! yeppers… good times at terri's place…plus we went to a tea shop, and i bought a raspberry chocolate donut at strange donuts. Great Day!
so the tea…it's like creamy and stuff and totally awesome to drink with my fun-gal terri heh
booooo on having to go to the airport soon.
drinking tea with terri! woot woot!
um…distracted by tea snooping and such (and yes guys…terri's cupboard IS really full) this is decent enough but it's not really up my alley, which we know, which is also why we decided to share a cup rather than me taking some home! i hereby call this the terri grapefruit tea. there's a story there…but for now.. OFF TO THE TEA SHOP!
Terri and I are drinking these two teas together to compare the difference between the same tea wet stored and dry stored.
this is so not going to be technical and all purty like because let's be honest, we're hanging out in terri's office, drinking tea together and chatting. Who wants to waste time focusing on finding the right words to describe the tea..it's about the TIME TOGETHER!!!!!!
Dry store – initial stuff, sort of a typical puerh…nothing exception here, but it's not bad.
Wet Store – smells like…."old" it very much tastes the way that old castles smell like in europe when you go underground with that musty, earthy sort of smell. it tastes and smells like that.
round two (3/4)
edge has come off of the wet storage, but it's still not what i want it to be. better though…better
Dry storage – seems a little smoother…the tea is a little less distinct? ie. it's sort of easing back and the flavours are becoming a little more muted.
third round
dry – there' a sweetness developing here, though the tea is still mild for me…
wet storage – this is growing on me. I think i'd probably really like this at about the 8th steep, but im' not sure i want to have it and get to that point lol
breakfast tea with the best tea sister evaaar! I got to try this one out, which is great since it's on my list of things to order from Stacy, and this let me try it first. I sadly mostly just remember that this was smooth, and delicious. It was the right blend of ceylon and darjeeling for me – neither one overpowering the other. on the whole, a great accompaniment to delicious terri made breakfast!
what up steepster peeps!
Be jealous. that is all i have to say. :) Tea sisters, Terri and Sil are in "the house" together! in St louis! Best morning ever as terri picked me up from the hotel WITH A TRAVEL MUG OF THIS SUCKER FOR ME! yeah that's right. first tea since i left on monday and it was super fantastische….mostly because i get to hang out with terri!
Also, i totally got breakfast from terri…. almond flour pancakes, potatoes, more tea!, bacon…soo good!
4 more days! including today…which is mostly travel. and then…..Terri and I will be chillin' in St louis! The only thing that would have been more awesome was if Nicole could have joined us, but maybe next time! :) This was tea from yesterday while playing board games with friends…and now, the stress begins! work, get ready, airport, practice presentation…try to sleep. eep!

In Simply Shrimp, James Peterson blends delicate shrimp with influences from the world's cuisines, including recipes like Thai Shrimp "Bruschetta" (Thailand & Italy), Saganaki (Greece & Turkey), and Shrimp Tagine (Morocco).
Makes: 6 first course
or 4 main course servings
This is one of those dishes, now ubiquitous in Turkey, that, like tiramisu or crème brûlée in the United States, was nowhere to be found 50 years ago. This recipe calls for feta in keeping with "authentic" versions, but those who find that feta has an aggressive note can substitute a mild American or French goat cheese. The word saganaki is the name of the vessel the dish is cooked and usually served in, a circular, metal shallow dish with handles. Copper versions can be found in cooking supply stores and while never cheap they're attractive enough to be useful for baking all sorts of foods—especially gratins—and then can be brought straight to the table.
If you have a metal dish to serve the saganaki, use it to cook the onions and chiles in the oil over medium heat for about 10 minutes; otherwise use a saucepan. Add the oregano, cook for 1 more minute, and add the tomatoes. Turn the heat up to between medium and high and cook the sauce for about 10 minutes, stirring every minute or two, until it thickens. When you're ready to serve, fire up the broiler and nestle the shrimp in the hot sauce. Sprinkle the feta and ouzo over the shrimp and slide under the broiler. Broil for about a minute—keeping a close eye on it—until the cheese melts and bubbles. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Skip to comments.MARK CUBAN: 'The Student Loan Bubble Is Going To Burst'
Posted on 06/20/2014 11:49:07 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Screenshot via Inc.com
Mark Cuban thinks colleges are going to go out of business.
In a clip on Inc.com, Cuban talks about the student loan bubble, which he says will burst and end badly for colleges.
The end of the student loan bubble, Cuban says, will be like the housing bubble, where tuition collapses the way the price of homes collapsed.
These collapses will put colleges out of business.
"It's inevitable at some point there will be a cap on student loan guarantees. And when that happens you're going to see a repeat of what we saw in the housing market: when easy credit for buying or flipping a house disappeared we saw a collapse in the price housing, and we're going to see that same collapse in the price of student tuition, and that's going to lead to colleges going out of business."
(Excerpt) Read more at businessinsider.com ...
I suspect that most who called for all the federal aid to "education" had no idea what they were initially proposing c. 1958-1966.
The gravy train can't last forever.
What do you expect when kids sign and agree to pay and then don't do it?
He is correct.
One major this recovery is different, is that many would be home buyers, and family starters are held back by these loans. They cannot borrow to buy homes, and afraid that children will bankrupt them.
The root cause, is not Obama for a change; but he did nothing to solve it. Democrats originate much of their power from the education industry.
I'm not absolving the responsibility of those who take out student loans, but many simply can't pay them back.
Such a crash would be a good thing for this country.
The end of cheap money and tuition decline will mean education will become focused on the practical needs of real people. Bubble money (Gov't funding and debt) are the main drivers of political indoctrination on college campuses. Top research institutions and highly competitive schools with deep pockets will not go away.
Let's hope it happens soon.
Of course when you go to a college campus the opulence is unbelievable.
My niece had a nicer dorm room than the first several apartments that I had. Most colleges have massive student life programs with climbing walls, workout rooms and natatoriums better than any sport club or country club, even the most expensive in the country.
College has very little to do with learning anymore. It is a four year party.
The federal government is always involved and, in effect, creates bubbles with their involvement - price increases are the outcome - cars, houses, student loans, solar crap - it's always more than obvious from day one. Federal government subsidies will always cause something to blow up down the road. But, a lot of money is made - by a few people - along the way.
We sure seem screwed in America.
The exact same thing is true with the health care industry. The more the Federal government gets involved the more expensive and less effective it becomes.
It's better to get it over with asap. The longer it can be put off, the greater the pain and adjustment that must be made.
Oh, the humanity!
RE: Such a crash would be a good thing for this country.
What about:
1) Graduates who have not paid off their loans?
2) The financial institutions who loaned them the money?
The National student loan debt is now $1.2 Trillion total.
According to the US Dept. of Education, The three-year cohort default rate rose from 13.4 percent for FY 2009 to 14.7 percent for FY 2010.
We are now heading towards the 16% default rate.
16% of 1.2 trillion is : $192 Billion !! ( Nearly $200 Billion ).
Are we going to spend another $200 Billion to rescue financial institutions?
"Im not absolving the responsibility of those who take out student loans, but many simply cant pay them back."
I've always asked people who take art history or Russian art literature if there's a job waiting for them. They usually look at me as if they'd never thought of that. They're at school to party on somebody else's dime. Remember when there were dental clinics opening in shopping malls. They looked like barber shops. They're all gone now. But they were there because universities over-sold dentistry. Now they're over-selling pharmacy. Dentistry and pharmacy are being automated so many fewer jobs will open in the future. Pharmacy is already cutting back. Publix will soon be filling all orders in Florida from a single automated pharmacy and by male. They may send certain drugs to a store for you to pick up if the law requires ID. If you have a question you'll ask a pharmacist in India who will have all your information on his screen.
Yes, absolutely true. I couldn't believe how dorms had evolved from a cell with cinder block walls to luxurious condos. The kids don't realize that they are paying for all of this, with interest. I had to be the "bad" father that said to my son, "you simply can't afford this."
I know he was disappointed but he doesn't have crushing debt today.
The blame lies in government policies that dispensed with any pretense of due-diligence when underwriting education loans. Students could borrow whatever the colleges charged, so they did. That's why college tuition has risen 1200% in the past thirty years.
Most eighteen year old kids don't understand what a burden repaying a loan can be, since most of them have never earned a single honest dollar in their lives.
The university professors are the high priests of the Democrat Party. They are charged with teaching others the doctrine of the Democrat Party. They are used to the good life now. You can't defund the high priests and hold the Democrat Party religion together.
Yup. I said the same in 2008. Now we are approaching another home loan disaster.
I believe the education debt bubble will turn out like sub-prime much more than people realize.
The simplistic, emotive narrative is that its all about "education" (how wonderful!) just like the previous bubble was all about "housing for everyone" (also how wonderful!)
Like the housing bubble, I bet we will see that 1) normal people who behaved prudently will generally not be hurt, 2) many of the loans taken will wind up involving some kind of fraud, 3) the institutions that peddled them will get little sympathy and should wind up going broke, and 4) it will cost the taxpayers a sh**load of money via stupid, political government involvement.
Its better it burst now, than just get bigger and worse in the future.
Serious question, why does a pharmacist need any degree, much less an advanced? All they do is repackage pills. They're not manufacturing lipitor behind that counter.
witte hall room:
Today's Ogg Hall
I think it's great to have an interest in some exotic part of education, like Russian art history or whatever. The thing I've never been able to figure out about such interests is why does one need to go to a formal school to learn that stuff?
You only have to pop down to the local library and take out books, or pay $8 bucks to attend a lecture. There is also more information on the internet than one could ever use on whatever interest one has.
Most eighteen year old kids don't understand what a burden repaying a loan can be, since most of them have never earned a single honest dollar in their lives.
Exactly right. What sensible lender would give someone an equal amount of money to pursue a chemical engineering degree or a history of dance degree? If college loans were a free market then lenders would be checking your transcripts and potential even more diligently than do colleges.
"Serious question, why does a pharmacist need any degree, much less an advanced? "
To protect the pharmacy from lawsuits. One doctor prescribes drug A. Another doctor prescribes drug B. A and B together are lethal. The pharmacy gets sued. (Although, I get one drug from Canada and one from Costco. They don't talk to each other.)
Also, if you give the wrong drug to, say, a diabetic, you'll kill them. A pharmacist is also expected to tell everybody what a drug does and how it works. So, it's also for customer expectations.
But, mostly, it was a way for schools to suck more money out of students and states to require more paid certifications and tests.
My daddy was a pharmacist who had no degree. He took a test right after WWII to get his certification. I think it was associated with the GI Bill, but I am not sure. Anywho, he was the only person to ever pass the test or maybe there was one other person who passed. They discontinued the test because it was so difficult for someone to study all of the materials and to also have hands on learning. Daddy had worked at a pharmacy prior to the war, so he was an apprentice of sorts. Back then, pharmacists did more than count pills. Actually, daddy was still mixing drugs for doctors in the late 80s. He also took care to know what his customers were taking and what customers could not take what drugs among other things. I was at the drugstore one day when he called a physician and asked the doctor to change a customer's prescription because the one the customer had would kill him. The doctor was grateful to say the least. I wish I knew more stories about my daddy. He was 53 when I was born and passed away when I was in college.
I stayed in a dorm at Oshkosh and it felt like going back in time to the early 70s when I went to EAA last year.
As the parent of a rising college junior, I say pop the bubble. My daughter is a double engineering major at a top school. She works. I work. She saves. I save. We pay 100% of all her tuition and fees in cash. CASH! No strings attached. AND, this summer, she is working at an internship and making a higher wage than many of the adults I know. No, it's not easy, but it can be done. I'm tired of the blood suckers out there who game the system, study crap, and try to tempt her away from doing the right things. < rant off >
Because when it comes to chemistry nomenclature, the naming of chemicals, it only takes one letter change, from an 'e' to an 'i', which can be completely unnoticeable by a lay person, will have a completely different effect.
And that simple letter change can honestly mean the difference between a benign effect and death.
Really, folks? Do you really think the democrat/communist controlled federal government of the United States is going to let their largest brainwashing machine, the democrat/communist controlled academia complex, go belly up?
Does the phrase "too big to fail" sound familiar?
That's not a counter; it's a bar!
Love him or hate him, Mark Cuban is one smart guy...kind of a DB, but if you have that kind of jack you can be whatever you want!
Love him or hate him, Mark Cuban is one smart guy...kind of a DB, but if you have that kind of jack you can be whatever you want!
The student loan scam/bubble will exist as long as there are taxpayers.
Look what I missed out on all those years in undergrad when I commuted to and from school and worked for a living.
Good thing I did, otherwise I'd still have student loan debt to pay! I get nauseous just thinking about what the "tuition" cost must be when you factor in the four-year party pad in that picture.
You're probably right. Bailouts all around, with the excuse for more government takeover
How does one short this market?
Just keep paying your taxes. The college industry will need a bail out.
Re your post 17, you made a good point.
Our country would greatly benefit if almost all of these professors found themselves on the street and not able to indoctrinate students with the Democrat "philosophy" of the role of government and other tenets of liberalism.
The noticeable tuition and real estate price collapses will come with the bond collapses and austerity programs ahead (government layoffs, pension haircuts, etc.).
Serious question, why does a pharmacist need any degree
They don't ,, anyone with really good reading comprehension can do it , the problems come in with mis-interpreting doctors writing ... which is why there is a push for plain english RX's in block letters ,,, another "dead" profession is optometrist ... it can be fully automated and is in many areas.
Wow, he's so smart. How does he know so much?
Captain Obvious Man saves the day again!
Off the Kennedy in Chicago there's a very expensive, modern extension school being built for some 2nd tier college. One of those more money than brains-type projects.
**The gravy train cant last forever.**
Why are you so racist?
I guess money = brains.
Student loans helped distort demand and supply by dumping more dollars/students into the pipe. As a result, tuition prices have been rocketing upward ever since, with nothing to hold them in check; the demand side being infinite due to government loans.

Every hospital ward in England must abide by a new minimum "safe staffing level", campaigners have urged, on the eve of a major report into patient safety.
Minimum safe staffing levels were recommended six months ago by Robert Francis in his review of catastrophic care failings at the Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust, which led to the needless deaths of up 1,200 patients. But the Government is yet to introduce a national standard for nurse to patient ratios, despite constant warnings from medical professionals.
Don Berwick, a former advisor on health to President Barack Obama, will publish a major review into patient safety at English hospitals, which will follow up on the key recommendations from the Francis Report.
Figures close to the new report said it was likely to come down in favour of minimum staffing levels – a recommendation that would increase pressure on the health secretary, Jeremy Hunt, to act.
"It is common sense that too few nurses on a ward compromises patient safety. It is time the Government agreed to implement this and other recommendations that came from the Mid Staffordshire inquiry," Peter Walsh, chief executive of the patient safety charity Action against Medical Accidents told The Independent.
"Having had the privilege of advising Don Berwick and his committee, and based on the reactions I received, I would be very surprised if the report did not come down in favour of national guidance on minimum staffing levels for wards. This was one of the main learning points from the Mid Staffordshire inquiry and has been called for not only by Robert Francis QC and ourselves, but the Royal College of Nursing amongst others."
The Government has been criticised for presiding over cuts to nursing posts at a time of increasing concern over patient safety in NHS hospitals. Nearly 5,000 nursing places have been cut since the Coalition took power in 2010, with 800 lost in April this year alone. While NHS England plan to recruit more than 4,100 new nurses next year – a 2 per cent increase – health watchdog Monitor said last month that the recruitment drive was a "short-term fix" and will be followed by a further 4 per cent cut to nursing posts over 2014-15 and 2015-16.
The Safe Staffing Alliance, which includes the Royal College of Nursing, Unison, the Patients' Association and the directors of nursing at a number of English hospitals, has campaigned for national minimum staffing levels since its foundation last year.
The group cites evidence from researchers at Southampton University, King's College London and the National Nursing Research Unit who found that hospitals with eight patients per registered nurse saw around 20 more deaths a year than better-staffed hospitals. Another recent study by King's College found wide variation in patient-nurse ratios at NHS hospitals, ranging from five patients per nurse to 11 patients per nurse at some hospitals.
Labour's shadow health secretary Andy Burnham said that Mr Hunt would have to act if the Berwick Report, which will be published on Tuesday, reinforced calls for minimum staffing levels.
"It's been six months since a public inquiry told the Government to get clarity on safe staffing levels," he said. "Since then, the job cuts have carried on as if nothing had happened. If Berwick backs up the Francis report on staffing levels, the Government will have nowhere left to hide."

text: The Spurs Are Too Good For Advanced Stats To MeasureKyle Wagner6/05/14 2:14pmFiled to: nba finalsnbasan antonio spursRegressing401EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink A curious stat popped up on ESPN's Stats & Info feed yesterday. "Tony Parker sat nearly as much as he played this season and the @spurs were slightly better per 100 poss. without him," it read. This says more about Spurs, and the stats we use, than it does about Parker. Advertisement No one actually thinks Tony Parker is making the Spurs worse; that would be manifestly stupid. The most obvious explanation here is that the Spurs' bench is just much, much better than other teams' benches, creating something of a statistical illusion, and this proves to be more or less correct. Just look at the Spurs' guards off the bench, and whom they're playing against. From Basketball Reference, here is our best attempt at isolating "backup point guards" (between 10 and 22 minutes played per game, with 2.5 assists or more), sorted by Win Shares per 48 minutes:RkPlayerTmMPWS/481Manu GinobiliSAS22.80.1762Patrick MillsSAS18.90.1753Troy DanielsHOU150.154Cory JosephSAS13.80.1485C.J. WatsonIND18.90.136Pablo PrigioniNYK19.40.1277C.J. MilesCLE19.30.1228Chris Douglas-RobertsCHA20.70.1139Andre MillerTOT16.90.10810Derek FisherOKC17.60.103As you can see, the gap between what the Spurs roll out off the bench and even the best of what the rest of the league can is enormous. So the first-order explanation isn't that a combination of Manu, Patty Mills, and Cory Joseph is necessarily better than Parker in an absolute sense, but rather that the gap between them and a collection of chaff including some of the most torchable players in the the league is bigger than the difference between Parker and starting-caliber point guards. But even this doesn't tell the whole story. Advertisement As a rule, bench players are more prone to high-ceiling and low-floor games simply because they play shorter minutes, and in the course of a game can get hot and not play long enough to cool down. (Think of a pinch hitter going 1-1 with a walk.) So if we're going to look broadly at how efficient the Spurs' offense is, we can drill down and look at the individual offensive and defensive ratings for the entire bench and find the specific games where they played the best. By Basketball Reference's numbers, the Spurs overall had an offensive rating of 110.5 (7th in the league) and a defensive rating of 102.4 (3rd). But something funny happened when we collected the best offensive (150+ ORTG) and defensive (sub-90 DRTG) performances for the bench—the games were almost all blowouts. When a San Antonio bench rotation player hit a 150 or higher ORTG, the Spurs were 39-8. In wins, they were +10.3, and losses -7, but tended to cluster around the larger numbers. If we de-couple the individual games—so, a game in which four Spurs bench players rated 150 or higher in ORTG would count four times, instead of just one—and treat each occurrence separately, those numbers jump to +17.2 and -8. Same goes for the sub-90 DRTG games, where the Spurs didn't lose once in the 29 games, and were +17.8 overall, and +18.65 with the games de-coupled. Sponsored During the regular season, the Spurs led the league with a +7.8 scoring margin, and are first during the playoffs as well at +8, which is ridiculous considering they didn't get a patsy in the first round, like the Heat. So, we know the Spurs blow teams out. But not like this! In some ways, this is tautological—yes, when players play better, they tend to win by more—but in others, it isn't. The relationship shows that games are blowouts when the bench plays well, but there are also plenty of blowouts when the bench doesn't kill it. The point here is that when the bench does kill it, it's almost always a blowout, and in blowouts, you often aren't seeing the real rotations or the even the real substitutes—you're seeing whatever new-jack Darko the coach happens to have rotting on the bench. Advertisement Advertisement Like John Hollinger used to say, it isn't the backup that's the problem, it's the backup's backup. It's not just that the bench is great—it's that they're so great that they frequently force the other team to roll out their third string, allowing them to run up even gaudier numbers. And that's why Parker, on paper, seems to hurt the Spurs.This is actually an interesting observation for the regular-season Spurs. But as we're staring down the Finals that should be very even and very good, this isn't exactly something that tells us how the series will play out. That's true of all regular-season data, in a way, but especially in this case. The Spurs have literally outpaced the numbers. Reply40 repliesLeave a reply

FillPaint and StrokePaint for in="" and in2="" attributes on filter primitives are not implemented and currently cause the whole filter to fail.
Created attachment 637934 [details] [diff] [review]
This is what I've got so far.
It passes http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/test/harness/htmlObjectMiniApproved/filters-composite-03-f.html
but fails
Something is wrong with the sizing of the filter input or output I think. See how the edges are too sharp.
I don't really need feedback on how the code is structured at this stage, and I know I've not put in any comments.
Oh and there's lots of duplicate code that needs factoring out too.

testcase where feGaussianBlur fails to interpolate out of bounds "pixels"

If that's a bug (I think it is), then it's a preexisting bug with feGaussianBlur. The same thing happens with this testcase.
Compare it with Opera/Chrome.

That's my feedback for now until you've addressed the other things you mentioned.

I filed bug 776694 on that issue.
