Cisco Security Advisory
Cisco routers and switches that are running Cisco IOS software and that are configured to process Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) packets are vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. A rare sequence of crafted IPv4 packets sent directly to the device might cause the input interface to stop processing traffic when the input queue is full. No authentication is required to process the inbound packet. Processing of IPv4 packets is enabled by default. Devices that are running only IP Version 6 (IPv6) are not affected.
Cisco has made software available, free of charge, to correct the problem. For more information, refer to the Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS Interface Blocked by IPv4 Packet, located at the following URL:
System Requirements
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(16)BX requires that you have the performance routing engine (PRE), Part Number ESR-PRE2 installed in the Cisco 10000 chassis. To verify which PRE is installed in the router, use the show version command.
Upgrading to a New Software Release
For specific information about upgrading your Cisco 10000 series router to a new software release, refer to the Cisco 10000 Series Internet Router Software Configuration Guide.
For general information about upgrading to a new software release, refer to the product bulletin Cisco IOS Upgrade Ordering Instructions.

•RADIUS Virtual Circuit Logging
•AAA Server Group Support for Proxy Services
The following sections describe the Service Selection Gateway features. For more information on configuring these features, refer to the Cisco 10000 Series Internet Router Service Selection Gateway Configuration Guide.
Single Host Logon
The Single Host Logon feature enables SESM to authenticate subscribers by using the PPP authenticated information from the SSG; a subscriber does not need to log on to the SESM. To log on to a service through the SESM web application, a subscriber enters authentication information once for the PPP session and once for the service.
For non-PPP users, when a subscriber authenticates using the SESM application, the subscriber does not have to log on again for the remainder of the non-PPP session. However, the subscriber still has to log on to services.
SSG Autologoff
The SSG Autologoff feature enables SSG to verify connectivity with each host. SSG checks the status of the connection with each host at configured intervals. If SSG finds that a host is not reachable, SSG automatically initiates the logoff of that host. SSG has two methods of checking the connectivity of hosts: ARP ping and ICMP ping.
SSG Prepaid and SSG Prepaid Idle Timeout
The SSG Prepaid feature allows a user to connect to a service if the user has prepaid for the service. The SSG Prepaid feature is time-based only.
When SSG Prepaid is configured, SSG checks a subscriber's available credit to determine whether to connect the subscriber to the service and how long the connection can last. The billing server administers the subscriber's credit as a series of quotas. These quotas are allotments of available credit and represent the duration of use.
The SSG Prepaid Idle Timeout feature enables SSG to return residual quotas (allotments of prepaid credit) to the billing server from services that a user is logged into but not actively using. The SSG can reauthorize a user before the user completely consumes the allocated quota. The SSG Prepaid Idle Timeout feature also enhances the handling of a returned zero quota from the billing server. A user's connection to services can be open even when the billing server returns a zero quota. The SSG can notify the billing server when a connection fails, enabling the billing server to free quota reserved for the failed connection.
SSG Session and Idle Timeout
The Session-Timeout RADIUS attribute and the Idle-Timeout RADIUS attribute are two mechanisms used to prevent the SSG from continuing to allow traffic to pass from the IP address of a user who has disconnected from the network access server without logging out from the SSG. These attributes specify the following:
•Session-Timeout RADIUS attribute—Specifies the maximum length of time for which a host or connection object can remain continuously active.
•Idle-Timeout RADIUS attribute—Specifies the maximum length of time for which a session or connection can remain idle before it is disconnected.
SSG Full Username RADIUS Attribute
The Full Username RADIUS attribute allows SSG to include the user's full username and domain (user@service) in the RADIUS authentication and accounting requests.
Account Login and Logout
SSG sends a RADIUS accounting-request record to the local RADIUS server when a user logs in to or out of the SSG. The Acct-Status-Type attribute included in the accounting-request record indicates if the accounting-request marks the start of the user service or the end of the service.
When a user logs in, SSG sends an accounting-start record to RADIUS. When a user logs out, SSG sends an accounting-stop record.
Service Connection and Termination
SSG also sends a RADIUS accounting-request record to the local RADIUS server when a user accesses or terminates a service. The Acct-Status-Type attribute included in the accounting-request record indicates whether the accounting-request marks the start of the user service or the end of the service.
When a user accesses a service, SSG sends an accounting-start record to RADIUS. When a user terminates a service, SSG sends an accounting-stop record.
PPP Terminated Aggregation
PPP terminated aggregation (PTA) is a PPP selection method in which service selection is based on a structured domain name (for example, firstname.lastname@example.com). PTA terminates the PPP session into a single routing domain. Users can only access one service and users do not have access to the default network or SESM.
The PTA-MD exclusion list allows you to create a set of domains that you want to exclude from SSG processing.
PTA-Multidomain (PTA-MD) is a PPP selection method in which service selection is based on a structured domain name (for example, firstname.lastname@example.com). PTA-MD terminates the PPP sessions into multiple IP routing domains. SSG features and processing are applied to the user traffic and users can access one or more services at a time. PTA-MD service selection supports a wholesale VPN model where each domain is isolated from the other and has the capability to support overlapping IP addresses.
Web Service Selection
Web service selection enables users to concurrently access multiple on-demand services from a list of personalized services. The Cisco 10000 series Internet router supports the Cisco Subscriber Edge Services Manager (SESM) application for web service selection.
The SESM application provides subscriber authentication, service selection, and service connection capabilities to subscribers of Internet services. Subscribers interact with the SESM web application using a standard Internet browser. They do not need to download any software or plug-ins to use the SESM web pages. After a subscriber successfully authenticates, the SESM web application presents a list of services that the subscriber is currently authorized to use. The subscriber can gain access to one or more of those services by selecting them from a web page. Alternatively, an automatic connection feature might provide automatic connection to services.
SSG AutoDomain
The SSG AutoDomain feature allows users to automatically connect to a service based on the domain part of the structured username specified in an Access-Request. When SSG AutoDomain is configured, user authentication is performed at the service (for example, at the AAA server within a corporate network), instead of at the network access server (NAS).
SSG Open Garden
An Open Garden is a collection of networks or web sites that subscribers can access as long as they have physical access to the network. Subscribers do not have to provide authentication information before accessing the networks in an Open Garden. The network is not restricted by service selection, subscription, or policing.
SSG Port-Bundle Host Key
The SSG Port-Bundle Host Key feature enhances communication and functionality between SSG and SESM by introducing a mechanism that uses the host source IP address and source port to identify and monitor subscribers. With the SSG Port-Bundle Host Key feature, SSG performs port-address translation (PAT) and network-address translation (NAT) on the HTTP traffic between the subscriber and the SESM server.
Exclude Networks
The Exclude Networks feature allows you to specify networks that you do not want users to automatically log on to.
Mutually Exclusive Service Selection
The Mutually Exclusive Service Selection feature restricts a subscriber to accessing only one service at a time in a specified group of services.
Service Profiles and Cached Service Profiles
Service profiles define the services that subscribers can select. Each service that is accessible has a profile that defines the attributes of the service. Service profiles are configured on the RADIUS server or directly on the Cisco 10000 series Internet router. The RADIUS server or SESM downloads the service profiles to the router as needed.
The Cached Service Profiles feature enables SSG to use a cached copy of a service profile instead of downloading the profile from RADIUS every time a user logs on to the service.
SSG Hierarchical Policing
The traffic policing feature limits the transmission rate of traffic entering or leaving a node. In SSG, traffic policing can be used to allocate bandwidth between subscribers and between services to a particular subscriber to ensure all types of services are allocated a proper amount of bandwidth. SSG uses per-user and per-service policing to ensure bandwidth is distributed properly between subscribers (per-user policing) and between services to a particular subscriber (per-session policing). Because these policing techniques are hierarchical in nature (bandwidth can be first policed between users and then policed again between services to a particular user), the feature is called SSG Hierarchical Policing.
Transparent Passthrough
The Transparent Passthrough feature allows unauthenticated traffic to pass through an interface. Interfaces configured as transparent passthrough are treated as Cisco IOS interfaces and not SSG interfaces. The Cisco 10000 series Internet router can receive transparent passthrough traffic on both the access side and the network side. When an interface is configured as transparent passthrough, SSG does not process the traffic to and from the interface or apply SSG features. Instead, Cisco IOS software processes the traffic and applies Cisco IOS features.
Multicast Protocols on SSG Interfaces
SSG supports multicast traffic, which includes normal multicast packets and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) packets. The multicast traffic is separate from the SSG traffic and is routed through normal Cisco IOS processing and features; it is not routed through SSG authentication or features such as per-service statistics or hierarchical policing.
SSG TCP Redirect
The SSG TCP Redirect feature redirects certain user packets to an alternative location that can handle the packets in a suitable manner. This feature works in conjunction with the SESM web interface. SSG TCP Redirect forces subscribers to authenticate before accessing the network or specific services and ensures that subscribers are only allowed to access the services that the service provider wants them to.
The SSG TCP Redirect feature supports the following:
•Redirection for unauthenticated users
•Redirection for unauthorized services
•Initial captivation
For more information, refer to the "Service Selection Gateway" chapter in the Cisco 10000 Series Internet Router Service Selection Gateway Configuration Guide.
VPI/VCI Static Binding to a Service Profile
The VPI/VCI Static Binding to a Service Profile feature allows users accessing SSG through a VPI/VCI or a range of VPI/VCIs to access the server. When a user session arrives on a VPI/VCI or a VPI/VCI range and the session specifies the username but does not specify the domain name, SSG maps the user session to the service to which the VPI/VCI or VPI/VCI range is bound.
RADIUS Virtual Circuit Logging
RADIUS Virtual Circuit (VC) Logging extends and modifies the RADIUS network access server (NAS) port field to carry VPI/VCI information. With RADIUS VC Logging enabled, the Cisco 10000 Internet router (the SSG node) can send NAS port information to the RADIUS server, accurately recording the virtual path interface (VPI) and virtual circuit interface (VCI) of an incoming user or subscriber session. The VPI/VCI of the incoming permanent virtual circuit (PVC) is recorded at the point of entry on SSG, which offers the RADIUS client a unique VPI/VCI for each incoming PVC. This information is logged in the RADIUS accounting record that was created at session startup.
AAA Server Group Support for Proxy Services
The AAA Server Group Support for Proxy Services feature allows you to configure multiple AAA servers for redundancy. The RADIUS Server attribute enables AAA server group support for proxy services. Each group is associated with a service that requires proxy RADIUS AAA. You can configure each remote RADIUS server with timeout and retransmission parameters. When necessary, the SSG performs failover among the servers in the predefined group.
Packet Filtering
The Cisco 10000 series Internet router supports per-user access control lists (ACLs) to prevent users from accessing specific IP addresses and ports. When an ACL attribute is added to a user profile, the attribute applies globally to all the user's traffic.
SSG accepts Cisco IOS ACLs and SSG ACLs. SSG ACLs take precedence over Cisco IOS ACLs when both Cisco IOS and SSG ACLs are configured on the same SSG interface.
An SSG ACL can have a maximum of 8 access-list entries (ACEs). If you use the TCP Redirect feature, TCP Redirect uses one of the 8 ACEs; therefore, you can configure only 7 ACEs.
SSG Unconfig
The SSG Unconfig feature enhances your ability to disable SSG at any time and releases the data structures and system resources created by SSG when SSG is unconfigured.
SSG Unconfig removes SSG allocated resources when you globally disable SSG after it was enabled. When you enable SSG, the SSG subsystem in the Cisco IOS software acquires system resources that are never released, even after you disable SSG. The SSG Unconfig feature enables you to release and clean up system resources when SSG is not in use.
Per-Service Statistics
The Cisco 10000 series Internet router collects statistics about router interfaces and the connections to them in both the input and output directions. Cisco CLI commands, such as show interface, are used to display information about the interfaces. SSG commands, such as show ssg connection, are used to display information about the connection to the router.
Field Diagnostics
Field Diagnostics provides customers with a method of testing and verifying line card hardware problems.
If you would like to perform a hardware diagnostic test on any line card in your Cisco 10000 series router, a Field Diagnostic image can be downloaded free of charge from Cisco Systems and used to test whether the line card problems are indeed due to faulty hardware. The test results will verify whether or not the hardware is faulty.
For additional information on Field Diagnostic tests, refer to the Field Diagnostics for the Cisco 10000 Series Router located at the following URL:
8-Port DS3/E3 ATM Line Card
The 8-port DS3/E3 ATM line card is a full height card that provides eight DS3 or E3 connections to ATM networks. The line card functionality focuses on Layer 2 ATM services and relies on the performance routing engine (PRE, Part Number ESR-PRE2) to provide Layer 3 services. The DS3/E3 ATM line card receives and transmits ATM cells on the physical interfaces while transmitting and receiving packets from the backplane.
The 8-port DS3/E3 ATM line card provides the following hardware features:
•8 DS3/E3 ports on a full height, single slot line card
•Rear chassis cabling with BNC connectors
•DS3 features:
–Per interface M23 or C-bit parity framing mode
–Per line card DSX3 modes: T3 ADM, T3 PLCP
–DS3 line or payload loopback
–Internal or loop timing
–Per interface line build out: 450 ft. of 75 ohm coaxial cable
•E3 features:
–Per interface G.751 or G.832 framing mode
–Per line card DSX3 modes: E3 ADM, E3 PLCP
–E3 line or payload loopback

–Supports up to 32,000 VCs per line card, maximum of 4,000 VCs per port, all 16 VCI and 8 VPI bits are available
–Supports AAL5 data transport, F4 and F5 OAM cells
–Per VC and per VP traffic shaping
•64 MB packet memory in each direction
Mixing DSX3 modes on a per port basis is not supported. When you configure the 8-port E3/DS3 ATM line card for a DSX3 mode, all eight ports of the line card operate in the mode you have selected.
The DS3/E3 ATM line card supports the following throughput rates and ATM framing for the specified DSX3 modes:
DSX3 Mode Throughput Rate ATM Framing T3 ADM
44200 Kbps
CBIT or M23
40700 Kbps
CBIT or M23
34000 Kbps
G.751 or G.832
30600 Kbps
G.751 only
For more information, refer to the "Configuring the 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM Line Card" in the Cisco 10000 Series Internet Router Software Configuration Guide.
Cisco 10000 Series Router MIB Enhancements
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(16)BX adds support for the CISCO-SSG-MIB. For more information about the MIB capabilities on the router, refer to the Cisco 10000 Series Broadband MIB Specifications Guide. (Chapter 3, "MIB Specifications," lists MIBs constraints.)
Software Features Supported on the Cisco 10000 Series Router
Table 1 lists the leased line features based on Cisco IOS Release 12.0(20)ST, and supported in the Cisco 10000 series router.
Limitations and Restrictions
This section describes limitations and restrictions for the following areas. Be sure to review these limitations and restrictions before you use the Cisco 10000 series router.
•QoS Service Policy on a Virtual Access Interface
•Controlling the Rate of Logging Messages
•Testing Performance of High-Speed Interfaces
L2TP Tunnel Authorization
Cisco 10000 router supports L2TP tunnel authorization. However, RADIUS does not provide attributes for such parameter values as L2TP tunnel timeouts, L2TP tunnel hello intervals, and L2TP tunnel receive window size. When the Cisco 10000 router does not receive a RADIUS attribute for a parameter, the router uses the default value.
Broadband Aggregation Groups
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BX or later does not support the configuration of Broadband Aggregation (BBA) groups using RADIUS. You must configure BBA groups manually.
ATM PXF Queuing
If you intend to disable ATM PXF queuing, to ensure reliable operation you must enter the no atm pxf queuing mode command before you configure any VCs on an interface. If you have already configured VCs on an interface and you need to change the mode of ATM PXF queuing, remove the VCs from the configuration and then change the ATM PXF queuing mode.
Dynamic Bandwidth Selection
The Cisco 10000 series router does not support Dynamic Bandwidth Selection (DBS) on VP tunnels.
QoS Service Policy on a Virtual Access Interface
If you apply an output QoS service policy on a virtual-access interface, and that virtual access interface is L2TP tunneled (When the router is configured as an LNS, for example) and the service policy indicates that the TOS or DSCP bits should be set (with the set ip command, for example), the router sends the packets as-is, without changing the IP Precedence bits or DSCP bits. The outer header gets the correct value, but the inner header is not changed.
SNMP limits the size of Virtual Private Dialup Network (VPDN) template names to 128 characters. This affects the functionality of the CISCO-VPDN-MGMT MIB. Due to this restriction, if any template name (cvpdnTemplateName) in the cvpdnTemplateTable exceeds 128 characters, you cannot use an SNMP getmany request to retrieve any table entries. Instead, you must use individual getone requests to retrieve each template name that does not exceed 128 characters. For more information, refer to the Cisco 10000 Series Internet Router Broadband MIB Specifications Guide.
AAA Method Lists
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(14)BX supports a maximum of 99 authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) method lists. If you configure more than 99 AAA method lists using the aaa authentication ppp or aaa authorization network command, traceback messages appear on the console.
Unshaped UBR PVCs
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BX or later supports a maximum of 8000 unshaped UBR VCs on the OC-12 ATM line card. An unshaped UBR PVC is a PVC that has no rate configured on it. You can configure up to 16,000 shaped UBR VCs per port on the OC-12 line card if you configure the VCs with a shaped rate of less than 299 Mbps.
Shaped UBR PVCs
The Cisco 10000 series router does not support shaped UBR in low VC mode.
Controlling the Rate of Logging Messages
It is important that you limit the rate that system messages are logged by the Cisco 10000 series router. This helps to avoid a situation in which the router becomes unstable and the CPU is overloaded. To control the output of messages from the system, use the logging rate-limit command.
We recommend that you configure the logging rate-limit command as follows:
Router(config)# logging rate-limit console all 10 except criticalThis rate-limits all messages to the console to 10 per second, except for messages with critical priority (level 3) or greater.
For more information on the logging rate-limit command, refer to the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference.
Testing Performance of High-Speed Interfaces
Cisco IOS software running on the Cisco 10000 series router has multiple queues for all classes of traffic over high-speed interfaces. The software selects a queue based on the source and destination address of the packet. This ensures that a traffic flow always uses the same queue and the packets are transmitted in proper order.
When the Cisco 10000 series router is installed in a real network, the high-speed interfaces work efficiently to spread traffic flow equally over the queues. However, using single traffic streams in a laboratory environment might result in less-than-expected performance.
Therefore, to ensure accurate test results, you should test the throughput of the gigabit Ethernet, POS, or ATM uplink with multiple source or destination addresses.
Tip To determine if traffic is being properly distributed, use the show pxf cpu queue command.
Important Notes
This section provides important information about the following items for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(16)BX:
Provisioning for Scaling
The following configuration parameters enhance scalability on the Cisco 10000 series router:
•PPPoA Sessions with IP QoS Static Routes
•AAA Authentication on the NME Port
To configure the Cisco 10000 series router for high scalability, be sure to configure the configuration parameters as described in the sections that follow.
For more information, refer to the Cisco 10000 Series Internet Router Broadband Aggregation Configuration Guide.
PPPoA Sessions with IP QoS Static Routes
To scale to 32,000 PPPoA sessions with IP QoS enabled, you must limit the number of IP QoS static routes to 4,000 unidirectional QoS static routes.
AAA Authentication on the NME Port
If you use AAA authentication on the NME port, set both the in and out interface hold queues to 4096. For example:
Router(config)# int fa 0/0/0Router(config-if)# hold-queue 4096 inRouter(config-if)# hold-queue 4096 outCall Admission Control
We recommend that you set the Call Admission Control (CAC) to a maximum of 95. For example:
Router(config)# call admission limit 95
Inserting a New Line Card
Unlike other Cisco routers, if you insert a new or different line card into a Cisco 10000 chassis slot that previously had a line card installed, the line card initially reports that it is administratively up.
Open Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 12.2(16)BX
Table 2 describes Open Caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(16)BX.
Resolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 12.2(16)BX
This section describes caveats that were fixed in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(16)BX:
A Cisco device running IOS and enabled for the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DOS) attack from a malformed BGP packet. The BGP protocol is not enabled by default, and must be configured in order to accept traffic from an explicitly defined peer. Unless the malicious traffic appears to be sourced from a configured, trusted peer, it would be difficult to inject a malformed packet. BGP MD5 is a valid workaround for this problem.
Cisco has made free software available to address this problem. For more details, please refer to this advisory, available at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20040616-bgp.shtml.

If you enter the show ip dhcp pool command, and if the output to the console is paused (requiring that you press any key to view the second page of that output), the statistics might be incorrect. This has been fixed.
When a PPPoE over Ethernet sessions is connected to the Cisco 10000 series router and the RADIUS NAS-Port format is format a, NAS-Port[5] is set as Virtual (60000 plus the interface number) in SSG. This has been fixed.
(Duplicate of CSCea34862) When an AAA server group is defined in the startup configuration file, the eboot image c10k2-eboot-mz displays the following message on the console:
% Image does not support any AAA protocols.% Image does not support any AAA protocols.The eboot image does not need to support AAA because the eboot image does not initialize the AAA routines. The AAA commands in the startup configuration cause this message to appear during system startup. Ignore the message. Cisco IOS Release 12.2(16)BX supports AAA and it is available when the router is initialized.
If you have an OC-48 line card installed in the Cisco 10000 series router that is transmitting and receiving traffic, and you remove it and install a channelized CT3 line card, and you then remove the channelized CT3 line card and re-insert the OC-48 line card, the POS interface flaps continuously.
The online insertion and removal (OIR) feature for the Cisco 10000 series router does not retain configurations when you insert a different type of line card in the same slot. This is expected behavior.
A memory leak might occur on the Cisco 10000 series router during the installation of per user access control lists (ACLs) that are downloaded from a RADIUS server. This has been fixed.
(Duplicate of CSCea40788) When you use the range command to create an oversubscription of VCs in a virtual path (VP), the Cisco 10000 series router cannot create the VCs due to the oversubscription, and returns an error. The router then stops responding. This has been fixed.
SSG fails after a PPP client attempts to log out. This problem happens when an ACL is configured with a PPP user host key. This has been fixed.
Users cannot log back in after the primary PRE switches-over to the redundant PRE. This has been fixed.
When numerous per-user ACLs are configured on the router, the following error and traceback messages might display if the router is busy deleting the unused ACLs of disconnected sessions.
May 9 18:24:26.286: %SYS-3-CPUHOG: Task ran for 2692 msec (64/1), process = TurboACL, PC = 60B99A88.-Traceback= 60B99A90 602AB000 602AB27C 602ADF20 602AE0B4 602AE3B4This has been fixed.
When a Path Link Mismatch (PLM) alarm exists on the 1-port channelized OC-12 line card or the 4-port channelized OC-3 line card, the show controller command for T1 or E1 controller that is configured for SDH framing does not display the PLM alarm. The alarm does display correctly if SONET framing is configured. This has been fixed.
The Cisco 10000 series router takes longer than expected (approximately 90 minutes) to load the 16M configuration file. The elog file indicated that the fib-get-auto-adjacency_fibidb function was sampled at a large percentage (approximately 11%). This has been fixed.
The Cisco 10000 series router takes longer than expected to load the router configuration. If you enter the show parser stat command while the router is loading the configuration, a lot of cache misses display. This has been fixed.
The Cisco 10000 series router is slow to boot when you add the static route improvement patch code. This has been fixed.
The Cisco 10000 series router is slow to load while you set up subinterfaces. This has been fixed.
After the absolute timeout expires for PPPoE sessions with per user ACLs, the router disconnects the sessions. If you then enter the show pxf cpu access-list security command, numerous "Unneeded ACLs" display. This has been fixed.
A bus error occurs when executing the show pxf cpu access-lists security command after sessions time out and start to disconnect. This has been fixed.
A memory leak might occur in the process AAA Per-User when PPPoE sessions are brought up, then torn down, then brought up again. This has been fixed.
You cannot ping the default network when the ip verify unicast reverse-path command is configured under the Virtual Template. You can only ping the default network when you are logged in to the service. This has been fixed. The routes to a downlink interface and SSG hosts are now added to the service VRF tables, which allows RPF checks for SSG hosts that have not yet logged on to any services.
This does not work with static routes added for RPF checks. Only interface network addresses are added to the SSG VRFs. Static routes for hosts are not added to the SSG VRFs and RPF checks might fail. This can occur if you configure the ip unnumbered command on downlink interfaces with static routes.
SSG adds the route when binding the interface. If you change the interface address after the interface is bound, SSG cannot track the interface.
When a user logs out of a session with accounting, the network access server (NAS) ID is incorrect. This problem occurs with the Accounting Stop packet in a PPPoE configuration. This has been fixed.
The Cisco 10000 series router does not send out a TERMREQ when the router clears a PPPoA virtual access interface. This has been fixed.
The Cisco 10000 series router stops responding when you enter the clear interface virtual-access number command for a PPPoA virtual access interface (VAI) with a conditional debug interface turned on. This has been fixed.
On an ATM interface with UBR traffic shaping configured, the router shapes the traffic incorrectly. This does not occur when you set high thresholds. Be careful not to set the thresholds so high that with typical traffic patterns, the SAR buffer becomes full.
The session connection rate appears to be unacceptably slow when SSG accounting is enabled. This has been fixed.
The connection rate for sessions with SSG accounting enabled are typically 3 to 4 percent higher than the connection rate for sessions with SSG accounting disabled. This is due to the time required for the SSG router to receive the accounting information from RADIUS.
The line cards go down and remain down after the Cisco 10000 series router reloads or a forced failover to the redundant performance routing engine (PRE) is executed. This has been fixed.
The Cisco 10000 series router does not update the QoS shaping parameters for a VC when Dynamic Bandwidth Selection (DBS) is enabled on a VC class.
If you enter the show atm pvc dbs command when a PPPoA session is established, the output from the command indicates that RADIUS is sending the AV pairs, but the shaping parameters for the VC are unchanged. The Cisco 10000 series router does not change the VC and instead displays an error message similar to the following:
Jun 5 13:21:19.200: %C10K DBS: validate_params() 2/111, vcd 11, QoS type 5, PCR 50, SCR 38Jun 5 13:21:19.200: %C10K DBS: validate() QoS update rejected PVC 2/111 on VP tunnelThis has been fixed.
The Cisco 10000 series router might stop responding while processing turbo ACLs. This has been fixed.
Other Caveats
This section includes caveats listed in previous release notes that are regarded as resolved because they are either unreproducible, they were reported in error, or they do not affect the behavior of the Cisco 10000 series router. If a caveat listed in this section causes problems, contact Cisco customer service.
The L2TP network server (LNS) sends keepalives at an incorrect interval. We have been unable to reproduce this problem.
Previously, it was reported that the output of the show controller e1 command showed the status of the E1 controller on the 24-port channelized E1/T1 line card as down when it was actually up. We have been unable to reproduce this problem.
In rare circumstances, if you enter the hw-module slot <slot> shutdown command followed by the no card command, the router reloads unexpectedly. This problem rarely occurs and you are unlikely to experience it. We have been unable to reproduce this problem.

Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia and Australia will sign a deal specifying who handles any wreckage from missing flight MH370 that may be recovered, including the crucial "black box" flight data recorders, local media reports.
Malaysia is drafting the agreement "to safeguard both nations from any legal pitfalls that may surface during that (recovery) phase," the New Straits Times reported on Friday.
The government hopes the deal can be finalised soon and endorsed in a cabinet meeting next week.
The Australian government is studying the memorandum of understanding (MoU), it said.
"The MoU spells out exactly who does what and the areas of responsibility," civil aviation chief Azharuddin Abdul Rahman was quoted as saying.
Azharuddin added that Malaysia would lead most of the investigation, with Australia and others helping.
Details of the MoU will not be made public, the report said.
The Malaysia Airlines flight carrying 239 people inexplicably veered off course en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8 and is believed to have crashed in the southern Indian Ocean far off western Australia.
But a massive international search has failed to turn up any wreckage so far.
The crisis has brought intense international scrutiny on Malaysia's government, which has been accused by anguished Chinese families and other critics of hiding information and possibly trying to cover up its handling of the situation.
Malaysia's government has rejected such claims, saying it is passing on all it knows promptly.
Two-thirds of the passengers were Chinese.
The government-controlled New Straits Times said the Malaysia-Australia deal would address "specific areas" including who will handle the wreckage and the flight data recorders, known as black boxes.
Malaysia's government has pledged it will reveal the data recorders' contents if they are found.
It is hoped any data contained within will indicate what caused the plane to divert.
A range of theories including hijacking, rogue pilot activity and aircraft malfunctions have been speculated.
The New Straits Times quoted a source with "intimate knowledge" of the deal saying it also specified where any passenger remains would be brought and who would carry out autopsies.
A survey by Malaysia's leading independent polling firm released earlier this week found that only 26 per cent of Malaysians believed the government was being transparent about MH370.

Students attending elementary schools in Craig did their part to promote Earth Day.
As part of the Earth Day Groceries Project, City Market gave Sunset, Ridgeview and East elementary schools 500 bags each. Students decorated the bags with Earth Day pictures and messages and returned them to City Market on Friday. The bags were given to customers Saturday, Earth Day, to make people aware of Earth Day, a worldwide celebration to save the earth.
"We worked this into our Earth Day activities through the week," Sunset Elementary instructor Judy Muldoon said. "We want kids to be more aware of what is going on and what they can do to help."
Muldoon said she wants students to realize the importance of recycling and reusing bags and that paper bags can be used at least three times.
"We want to recycle bags to save the earth," Meghan Innes, 10, said. Drawings on the bags were of various natural resources, animals, bodies of water, mountains, trees and various recycling messages.
Decorating the bags also saved City Market money. According to City Market Manager Dee Miller, the store spends a lot of money on bags in a year and he hopes the idea of Earth Day and reusing will continue throughout the year.
Grocery bags are strong enough to hold up to 20 pounds and are made to be used more than once. One couple in Oregon used the same grocery bag 98 times before recycling it. Armed with these facts, students were determined to decorate the bags in a way that people would want to use them again.

Hillary Faints, Has Concussion
Outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will not testify at an upcoming congressional hearing on the terrorist attack on U.S. embassy in Benghazi, after suffering a concussion from fainting and hitting her head.
Although State spokesman Philippe Reines did not say exactly when Secretary Clinton fainted, he did tell Politico the incident happened earlier this week. Dehydration was given as the reason for the incident, and Secretary Clinton was not hospitalized. She is now recovering at home and is under medical supervision.
The fainting spell follows Secretary Clinton's cancelling of a Middle East tour last week, that included a ceremony marking official U.S. recognition of Syrian opposition forces. A stomach flu was the reason given for the cancellation.
It also means she will not be able to testify this coming week at a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on who knew what about the September 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, which killed four Americans including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Secretary Clinton backed out of testifying in early November after putting off requests to do so by Committee Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) for several weeks.
Secretary Clinton finally agreed to testify at the open hearings a few days later, after media focus questioned why she was stalling. Secretary Clinton agreed to speak at the hearings in early December.
While wishing Secretary Clinton best health, Ros-Lehtinen said in a statement that the committee has "tough questions about State Department threat assessments and decision-making on Benghazi" and insisted the secretary and others in the State Department "be held publicly accountable."
Deputy secretary of state William Burns and Thomas Nides, the deputy secretary of state for management and resources, will take Secretary Clinton's place at the hearing.
Ros-Lehtinen remained adamant that Secretary Clinton will have to testify eventually, reports the New York Times.
"Although I respect Bill and Tom, we still don't have information from the Obama administration on what went so tragically wrong in Benghazi," she said in a statement. "This requires a public appearance by the secretary of state herself."

Ringworm is a fungal infection of the skin. Despite its name, it has nothing at all to do with worms. The fungal infection may appear on the skin, nails, hands, feet, or scalp.
Ringworm Rash
© Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Ringworm is caused by microscopic skin fungi that live on the outer layer of the skin. You can get ringworm from direct skin-to-skin contact with infected people or pets. It is also transmitted by sharing hats and personal hair grooming items, and through contact with locker room floors, shower stalls, seats, or clothing used by an infected person.
Ringworm is more common in children 12 years of age or younger.
Factors that may increase your risk of developing ringworm include:
When ringworm appears on the skin, it makes circular, reddish patches with raised borders. Eventually, the patches grow larger, and the centers of the patches turn clear, giving a ring-like appearance.
Symptoms of ringworm on other parts of the body vary, for example:
Ringworm symptoms on the body usually appear 4-10 days after exposure. Scalp symptoms will appear in 10-14 days.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A skin examination will be done. Ringworm is often easily diagnosed by appearance. However, symptoms may be similar to other conditions. A sample of the affected area may be taken for testing.
Treatment can be oral (taken by mouth) or topical (applied to skin):
This type of treatment is used for ringworm of the skin or body. It includes antifungal creams and powders. It usually takes at least 2 weeks for the ringworm to clear. After ringworm clears, treatment is usually continued for at least 2 more weeks.
For ringworm involving the body, hands, or feet, nonprescription treatment is highly effective.
Some medications are more effective than others.
This type of treatment is used for ringworm of the nails and scalp. Early treatment for scalp ringworm is important to prevent permanent hair loss. A culture or other test may be given to get an accurate diagnosis before beginning this kind of treatment. Prescription pills are given for:
If you developed ringworm from your pet, your pet should be treated as well. Check with your pet's veterinarian for treatment procedures.
The following steps may prevent ringworm:

Google Preferred Sites
The help page explains more: "The preferred sites feature lets you set your Google Web Search preferences so that your search results match your unique tastes and needs. Fill in the sites you rely on the most, and results from your preferred sites will show up more often when they're relevant to your search query."
Some use cases for the feature: adding sites you trust for finding a certain kind of information (movie reviews, sports results), adding more obscure sites that aren't likely to appear in the top results (local news sites) and a partial replacement for bookmarks.
The feature is an experimental feature that can be found in Google's preferences page if you are logged in and you were selected to test it.
Here's what happens when I add GSM Arena and search for [Nokia 6080]: the result from GSM Arena is marked as "My preferred site", but there's no significant ranking change even though Google mentions that "your Preferred Sites were used to improve search results".
After adding IMDB and New York Times, the results for [how to lose friends and alienate people] were changed dramatically: two pages from nytimes.com were promoted to the top 3 results, but they weren't in the first 30 results for a regular search.
Preferred Sites is an extension of Google SearchWiki, the feature that allowed you to make per-query changes. If the feature goes live to everyone, people will be able to pick a list of authoritative sites and influence all search results.

I can't test it. Language is set to English... But I don't have these kind of setting on the preferences page. It isn't the same like the screenshots. Ok it's experimental, but how can I use it?
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJanuary 18, 2009 at 2:40 PM
>>> "a) if the feature is enabled in your account (probably the feature is enabled for a small number of accounts)
b) when/if it will be publicly launched."
Ok, thanks.
I think it depend of the location of the user. I'm in Belgium... CRAP Makes sense to me considering a lot of people seem to use Google search like it's their address bar; typing URLs directly into the search box. Also, it strikes me that it makes sense to have favorite sites built into search, sounds like it might be a reasonable replacement for bookmarks if used often enough.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousJanuary 19, 2009 at 9:50 AM
I think the Firefox extension CustomizeGoogle has the feature to filter out sites from the search results.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJanuary 20, 2009 at 9:09 AM
What about Chrome??? Does anybody have Site Preferences in Chrome Browser?
ReplyDelete I like the potential of this feature to bring your preferred "authoritative" sources to the top (or at least closer to the top). Yes, it's still great to see ALL results, which allows me to discover new resources, but if results can be qualified, then this feature ultimately saves me. Seems like a great step towards users choosing their own authoritative resources rather than taking what you get based on popularity and search relevance. It might encourage publishers with more authority to invest more in their web content if they knew users could find them and select them as a preferred information source. Could definitely change some SEO strategies, but I think for the better.

Singing about Elijah at the end of Shabbat
After reciting havdalah at the end of Shabbat, many people sing "Eliyahu Hanavi", a song about the prophet Elijah and our hope that he may arrive soon to herald of the coming of the Messiah. (As Malachi prophesies, in the haftarah read before Pesach, Elijah will be sent before the "great and awesome day of the Lord".)
The Talmud refers to Shabbat as "a taste of the world to come". Shabbat's holiness and respite from the distractions of everyday life are a preview of life in messianic times. As we return to our weekday lives and leave the holiness of Shabbat, we pray that Eliyahu may come and bring with the Messiah with him.
According to some traditions, after Shabbat, Eliyahu keeps note of those who have observed the seventh day well and deserve reward. "Eliyahu Hanavi zachur latov" (Elijah the Prophet, may he be remembered for good), as he is called in the Grace after meals, is punned to be read mazkir latov, "records for good".

The story of Robert Smalls also has deep roots in Charleston.
3 comments
Nice site. I am researching the steamer Planter. I think you mistakenly call the photo of the Planter a cdv. It is actually a stereoscope card. Otherwise, great site!
[…] Today is the sesquicentennial of one of the most audacious acts of the Civil War, when Robert Smalls, an enslaved African American trained as a harbor pilot, took his vessel out the Union blockading fleet off Charleston. It's already been mentioned several places, with due credit to Smalls and his comrades. As Union Admiral David Dixon Porter put it in his naval history of the war, "this required the greatest heroism, for had he been caught while leaving the wharf, or stopped by the forts, he would have paid the penalty with his life." More on Smalls and Charleston here. […]

And we're sure of a few other things about this stereoscopic 3D remake. But I'm not 100% sure about that Yoshi cameo. Advertisement The dinosaur from Nintendo's Super Mario World appeared in the latest trailer for Metal Gear Solid 3D: Snake Eater, without much explanation. The PlayStation 2 original featured a cameo from Sony's Ape Escape monkeys, which star in the "Snake Vs. Monkey" mini-game, so perhaps he's a replacement. Konami wouldn't confirm when I asked.Konami is definitely on record about a few Metal Gear Solid 3D things. The 3DS port takes advantage of the platform's unique features. There's touchscreen and gyroscope control, for example. Players can also use the 3DS's cameras to take pictures, then use those images as camouflage patterns. Advertisement Metal Gear Solid 3D also implements a handful of Metal Gear innovations from PSP entry Peace Walker, like over-the-shoulder aiming and the CO-OPS cooperative gameplay mode.The team is also considering bringing more Metal Gear games to the Nintendo 3DS, but has nothing to announce. Just don't assume that since Metal Gear Solid 3 is the first 3DS game, that it would be the last. They even mentioned MGS4 as a possibility.So, we know that. Here are three questions I didn't get clear answers on, so you can't accuse me of not asking these hard-hitters. Note that the last question is potentially a spoiler(!) if you haven't played Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Sponsored Wondering why Yoshi appears in the game's E3 2011 trailer, I ask...How will Yoshi be used in Metal Gear Solid 3D? Still secret at this point. Advertisement Because Snake can kill and consume things (like snake meat) to regain his stamina, I wondered...Will Snake be able to eat Yoshi for sustenance? (laughs) Well, we'll have to see what Nintendo says about that.Finally, since seeing the Nintendo 3DS's stereoscopic 3D effects requires two eyes, I inquired... Advertisement Since this is a 3D game and Snake loses his eye to Ocelot, will the 3D effect be altered in any way after Snake loses the ability to see with both eyes? That's a very good question actually, but we can't answer it. Sorry.They better be sorry. I worked really hard on those questions!Reply129 repliesLeave a reply

We have a problem to solve. If you aren't aware, American Corporations just had their best year ever this year. That's right, while we are underemployed, the big players have set themselves up for a tidy 1.69 Trillion Dollars in profit. Depending on who you ask, the unemployment rate hit a low of 3.6% at the end of Clinton's presidency, hovered between 4 and 6% under most of Bush, and leaped to 10.6% under Obama at the worst. Now it's at 9.3%, but it's relevant to note that last month it was at 9%. Heading into the holiday retail rush, unemployment still rose. Graph
So how can this be? We have the best year ever for corps yet we have this highest unemployment rates in my lifetime. Wages to employ the middle class male hasn't moved in my 36 years of life (page 36 of this PDF). So how is it that a company can go from employing people, to losing them, to becoming profitable again yet not looking to employ people back at the same level? I'm suggesting that there is a tax incentive not to.
Corporations are ran by people whom make a very good living. Great news for them. They are also legally obligated to make the most money possible for their share holders. If you have a company that is being taxed at a low level, being ran by someone taxed at a low level (16% was the rate at which the highest earners were taxed on average) whom doesn't have to pay the income tax on services used while working (private jet, lavish dinners, Hotels, vacations) why would they rather hire someone? If they spend more on themselves, they can keep more of their own money and pay themselves in stock which gets taxed as Capital Gains at 15%.
Almost three-quarters of the highest earners' income was in capital gains and dividends taxed at a 15 percent rate set as part of Bush-backed tax cuts in 2003 Link
An example... if you owned a corporation, or a dozen, and you had a 35 million dollar mansion with plenty of space, but you faced a tax burden, what would prevent you from purchasing another 15 million dollar home next door as your office? Thanks for the write off!
So we've reached a point where we have taxed too little. There is no incentive to hire people over spending the money on yourself. We have to go back and raise taxes on corporations in terms of closing loop holes. We have to raise the taxes on the wealthy because the income disparity has spun out of control in the last 30 years. Even in an economy like this, the rich have found a way to get a hold of our money directly in bailouts. Indirectly in write offs for their Bombadier Challengers. And indirectly by choosing to not hire people, but instead spend on themselves. This is a problem with a 30 year history to look at. Even with Bush tax cuts that supply-siders like claim increases revenues, didn't work. It was five years before revenues went up, hardly relate-able to the tax cut.
Raise taxes in a way that doesn't incentivize job growth at a cost to the people, but increase them in a way that it's a lose lose for the corporations if they don't hire. That million dollar remodel of the office, you can write off $15,000 of it and you are paying the rest on income tax. And if you try to skate, we're taking you and the CFO to jail. Spend a million on salaries and you can write the whole thing off. That's how you incentivize business properly.
Tell the rich that since you get all of your income from Capital Gains, that's now a progressive tax just like income. You have to go back 94 years to find tax rates as low as they are today. Our system of making sure that the rich have a pile of cash in hopes that we'll catch a nickel isn't working. Not for the people, the government, or even effective business.
Many of the rich get it. We have 371 Billionaires in the US. 57 of them are on the Giving Pledge. Stop with the claims that we get more jobs by taxing less. Stop with the claims of more revenues on less taxes. It's all bull.
So how would you raise taxes to create more jobs? I know that there are tons of ways. Let's brainstorm some areas that get abused that need to be addressed.
what is your definition of rich.....the $250,000 per household....?????
where do u think all the money for research of renewable resources comes from......the government or the people who are investing.....
and u tell me how is that taxing the rich little bit more is going to help this country?????
how much tax should they pay if a household makes $250,000 a year....meaning fedreal, state, city, housing etc....break it down for me.....if a nurse goes to anesthesiology to improve her career or becomes a certified nurse practitioner or a pharmacist or a banker etc. who all make close to 100,000 a year, are they all rich, even when they have the more than a house payment in student loans.....when should they start a life....or should they not reap the benefits of their hard labor....
Raising taxes will only create jobs if the revenue is spent in a way that employs people. For example, infrastructure projects or unemployment benefits. Just raising taxes without cutting them elsewhere or increasing spending will only lead to job losses. However, raising some taxes will have more effect than raising others - raising taxes on very high incomes, for example, will have only very modest negative effects, that would easily be offset by not having to raise taxes later on middle-income earners.
Data.. No thanks. Sayings and rhetoric... that's what we love! Thanks Adriana
its called doing more than cut and paste some graphs after googling.....i am writing from reading articles and books over the years and give u practical examples....
it is like we talk at work if i have to explain to someone.....don't say renal....say kidneys
u can do the same....find the right career and go work for it......they are a lot of programs that make that much money........but don't penalize somebody for burning the midnight oil, or having an ambition to succeed .....i have given u a lot of arguments but ur reply always is somebody else's article or some graph.....never ur own words.....
the definition right now is $250,000 per household, than u are rich....but nobody takes into account that if u graduate from a professional degree u easily come out with $150,000 in student loans......by the time u graduate it is time to start a family and have kids and stuff and start saving for their college.....
You have given arguments, but no actual information to back up what you say. Why should we just blithely take you at your word if you are unwilling to provide data to back up your claims? Links to articles and studies that support your claims, something more than "I've studied this, so I am right." Creationists claim to have 'studied' too, and there is certainly no reason to accept their claims.
You've said that you don't like data and instead just want to use common sense. Well, common sense is often wrong. That's why we need actual data, from studies that employ scientific reasoning and that are controlled to avoid the inherent bias in our perceptions. Without providing evidence, you're just making an unsupported claim.
As for ambition, the CEO of Wal-Mart doesn't exist without the poorly-paid sale's staff (far far faaaaar) below him.
it doesn't stop the sales staff to rise up and come up with a big idea like him either.
Perhaps, but the increased salary allows one to pay the debt off while maintaining a decent living standard.
see u have no idea....you are speculating here.....when u guys actually have families and get out of college and have a professional degree and pay the taxes u will understand......
If high student debt was the justification for higher wages, the compensatory wages are, over a lifetime, vastly disproportionate to the debt incurred.
it was not a justification, some professions get paid more according to the skill level etc. go for them....nobody stops anybody....
You are welcome to take on a single fact that I've put up. Until you do so you are simply background noise. This isn't even the first post where you've disregarded facts and simply ran with rhetoric.
Since you don't like my Googling, maybe you can look up Google and them paying 2.4% overseas rate in taxes due to shifting money in and out of countries. Just because they move money around they shouldn't pay the 12.5% that Ireland asks? These are the holes that we need to close. It's not about preventing them from making money. It's not about being evil. It's about the rich and corporations taking advantage of a system to avoid paying taxes that the rest of the country cannot afford to do. The rest of us can't take a years worth of income and just shift it around the world hiding it. I can't take all of my income, invest it in capital gains to write it off the investment then live on the money years later at a 15% rate even though it should have been taxed at 35% in the first place. Stop turning this into a class war and get to the meat of the matter.
here we go copy and paste:
government wage growth compared to private sector.

On Feb. 28, the Nasdaq-100 Index Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ), tracking the NDX, closed on the high tick of the day at $64.70. The level itself does not say much until you consider that the last time "the cubes" traded at such a price was February 2001. The 11-year highs prompted a message in my email box from a financial editor regarding my take on the on the issue du jour: Are technology stocks overbought?
My short answer: Not the right ones.

"Overbought" is a nebulous concept. It means different things to different people. Short-term aggressive traders looking to scalp the next point see it one way; analysts worried about earnings and growth potential see it differently.
One thing is certain: Eleven years ago, when the QQQ was in the $60s, the composition of that ETF was very different. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) was barely making it and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) was mired in losses, while Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) was not even public. Eleven years ago, shorting the cubes was a gift that kept on giving — and for good reasons — now only bullish strategies are paying off.
Apple sticks out like a sore thumb in the Nasdaq 100 (and the stock market in general) with a $500 billion market cap. We had similar market caps in 2000 from Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) and the like, but there is now one huge difference with the tech bubble — now there are profits. Tech stocks on average have little or no debt, fat operating margins and the biggest exposure to foreign exchange translation in the stock market. Since 2001, the dollar as measured by the U.S. Dollar Index is down from 120 to under 80, which has boosted foreign-generated EPS notably.
Apple trades at a P/E of less than 15 because investors cannot believe that it can keep posting such incredible growth in EPS and sales, yet quarter after quarter, management keeps delivering. The stock has had the tendency to make huge moves around earnings releases as the surprises to the upside are digested by investors. With $97 billion in cash and 54.3% EPS and 44.8% revenue growth estimated for 2012, Apple is again defying the odds and the laws of large numbers (especially if that iPad 3 turns out to be as advanced as rumored).
Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) is starting to remind me of Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) as it is trying to play catch up with Facebook (with Google+) and Apple (with the Motorola Mobility takeover). Unlike Microsoft, which missed the boat on so many tech trends in the past decade, Google still is agile and does have a dominant smartphone/tablet operating system (Jobs told his biographer Isacsson it stole from the iPhone OS).
Maybe Google will make great hardware someday — those Motorola smartphones and tablets are nice — and maybe Google+ will be a success. But it seems that they themselves have been outmaneuvered at several turns lately. Still, the popularity of Android is a way to dominate the smartphone/tablet market much in the same way Windows dominated PCs back in the day, except that PCs will be running Android the way things are going pretty soon (a tablet is more or less a computer with a touchscreen keyboard), so Google likely holds long-term potential.
Another "tech" stock that is not part of the Nasdaq 100 is Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU). Despite an 88.3% surge in earnings for full-year 2011, Baidu's ADRs advanced only 28.4% in 2011. There were plenty of headwinds during the year, none of which seemed to have affected the company's dominant search franchise in China. The only other more extreme dichotomy in recent memory is 2008, when Baidu's EPS surged from $18.11 (pre-split) at the end of 2007 to $30.19 at the end of 2008, yet the shares declined.
It seems like a huge strategic mistake on behalf of Google to pull out of the mainland Chinese market, as last quarter Baidu accounted for 78.3% of China's search-engine market by revenue, rising from 78.2% in the previous three months. Google's share dropped to 16.7% from 17.2%. This market share shrinkage by almost half for Google started after its decision to no longer comply with censorship laws since January 2010, in effect giving up its chance to effectively compete with Baidu in the world's largest Internet market. It is difficult to estimate how low Google's share can go, but this likely is a strategic mistake it will regret some day.
The average revenue per user in China is much lower for mobile customers because smartphones still are viewed as a luxury. As smartphone penetration grows, in addition to overall low Internet usage penetration, Baidu is likely to keep growing much faster than Google with much less competition. The shares are not overly expensive at 21.2 times forward earnings, which given the expected growth give credibility to the argument that they are cheaper than Google's (accounting for its projected EPS growth rate).
For 2012, consensus estimates call for sales and EPS to increase 55.6% and 53.6%, respectively — Baidu still is in its hyper-growth stage. Growth is likely to slow due to the law of large numbers — just like it did with Google — but given the size of the Chinese market, it is unlikely to happen for a couple of years. China's Internet penetration rate is only 31.6%, while in the U.S. the number is 77.3%.
For buy-and-hold investors in the right technology stocks, "overbought" at present is not an issue.

Zoetis is accepting research proposals for the 2013 Horse Call grant program, which promotes excellence in veterinary economic research and education.
Zoetis will help fund one or more individuals through a grant of up to $50,000 for innovative, clinically relevant research proposals that determine the economic impact of equine encephalitic, parasitic, respiratory, or other infectious diseases or the impact of preventing these diseases.
Another area this grant will support is determining the economic impact of practice management business practices that emphasize prevention of equine infectious or parasitic diseases or prevention of horse-related injuries to clients, technicians, or veterinarians of these practices.
"We believe that the most productive way to advance veterinary research will be through an open model of discovery," said Dr. Rob Holland, director, Zoetis Outcomes Research. "There is a real economic value imposed on horse owners when their horse becomes sick and a real value when disease is prevented from occurring. We would like to help establish what the intrinsic value is when this is done and to determine how a practice achieves this."
Applications must be submitted by Oct. 31, 2013. All applicants must be in good standing in their professional organization, and research must be conducted within the United States. A research committee will review the applications and will notify the selected recipient or recipients by Dec. 1, 2013.
For more about the 2013 Horse Call grant program and to obtain an application, contact email@example.com.

Get Intimate: The Workshop
Explore sensuality and true intimacy at the luxurious Color Canyon Resort. Private assignments include sexy "homeplay" and more….
The setup was simple. To ferret out a blackmailer, FBI agent Ryan Vail and his partner are going undercover as a couple at an intimacy retreat. But when Ryan wakes to find a replacement "wife" in his bed, he knows he's in big trouble….
FBI agent Angie Wolf is on the job. Sure, there's a wicked attraction between her and Ryan, but they're professionals. Touching, kissing - it's all part of the sting. But the intimacy retreat is doing its job, because each tension-filled night in bed is blurring the line between truth and lie. Now this investigation has turned into one irresistible temptation!

I really enjoy the world of books! Narration just add layers to that world... don't u think? :)
"I was shocked!"
I am not a cop romance type of girl let me tell u... I love fantasy, paranormal romance, but this was actually really really good. I was shocked.
The blurb pretty much sums this book up so I won't go into too much detail like I do for my paranormal romance reviews, but I will say the build up chemistry between Angie and Ryan was pleasantly surprising for me.They are undercover cops on a intimacy retreat operation sting so they were actually supposed to show chemistry. The problem for these two is neither one of them could get over the fact that they were on a job which only makes this book so much better. I was really shocked. Now like I said earlier, I get into paranormal fantasy romance way more than this cop stuff so I really couldn't follow along with all the police jargon about who did what and why it was done, but that did not take away from the story for me. The story was good but the overall will never be above a 3 for me unless a demon from the underworld comes out of the shadows and take a little nibble or two on the neck of a highland lass if you know what I mean. Other than that... this was well worth the listen/read. I would even say a good buy/credit.
Narration was actually really good too. I loved Ryan's voice. Madeline did a great job with him. I was shocked. There was not a lot of variation of voices like there is in paranormal fantasy but you could tell each character was different. It was good.
The concept of undercover work in a conference setting made for some funny occurrences
Was a bit predictable

Guardsmen have played 'Congratulations' to mark the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby son, ahead of the Changing of the Guard.
Royal watchers and tourists have been queuing in the rain to catch a glimpse of a bulletin announcing news of the birth, which is being displayed on an easel there.
People across the globe have been celebrating too, including parties in Japan, cannons being fired in New Zealand, and billboard announcements in New York.

I work with overspending and sexual addiction. Both of these are what are called "process addictions." With spending without much forethought and with sexual behavior regardless of consequences, lives are out of control. With both of these impulse disorders, I recommend 12 step groups as well as individual therapy with me. The groups help the person see their problems as they hear other people's stories and they also give hope and "sponsors." Our treatment helps them find out what needs they are really trying to meet and get in touch with their real feelings rather than "doping"with overspending or with sexually acting out. Note: I do not treat alcoholism or drug addiction.
10632 Little Patuxent Pkwy, Suite 340, Columbia, Maryland 21044
I see any addictive behavior as a faulty coping strategy. People try all sorts of things in attempt to make themselves feel more comfortable, less anxious, or happier. We are all doing the best we can with what we have available to us at the time, and sometimes our "best" doesn't really help. In fact, it often causes harm to ourselves and others. I help clients understand the root causes of their addictive behavior, and how to meet their needs on a deeper level in healthy ways rather than destructive ways.
10632 Little Patuxent Pkwy Suite 313, Columbia, Maryland 21044
I have co-run an addiction program serving people with alcohol and drug problems. I have often found that people are self medicating when they are using drugs, covering other problems such as anxiety or depression. In these cases both the addiction and underlying problems need to be addressed. I specialize in relapse prevention. Living one day at a time is what we all need to be doing.
