Posts from 'Switches'
Catalyst switch port security is so often recommended. This is because of a couple of important points:
- There are many attacks that are simple to carry out at Layer 2
- There tends to be a gross lack of security at Layer 2
- Port Security can guard against so many different types of attacks such as MAC flooding, MAC spoofing, and rouge DHCP and APs, just to name a few
I find when it comes to port security, however, many students cannot seem to remember two main points:
- What in the world is Sticky Learning and how does it work?
- What is the difference between the different violation modes and how can I remember them?
Sticky Learning
Sticky learning is a convenient way to set static MAC address mappings for MAC addresses that you allow on your network. What you do is confirm that the correct devices are connected. You then turn on sticky learning and the port security feature itself, for example:
switchport port-security maximum 2 switchport port-security mac-address sticky switchport port-security
Are you a CCNP or CCIE student looking to challenge your perfect knowledge of Catalyst switchport commands?
Take the latest SWITCH Command Recall exam by clicking the link below. Good luck – and let us know how you scored in the comments area of this post.
Remember to read, AND TYPE, very carefully! I failed my first attempt due to just plain sloppiness.
As you may have noticed, INE does a wide variety of training in the Cisco space. This blog post goes out to all those folks who have recently begun their Cisco training.
This month we delivered new live classes on CCNA and CCNP. We are excited for and encourage our students at every level in their journey. In that light, we have gathered a collection of Videos Answers, targeted at the CCNA level, with a few topics leaking into security and CCNP. These videos were primarily created as quick (under 10 minutes each) Video Answers to questions that various learners have had.
Take a look at the list of topics, and if there are 1 or 2 you feel you would benefit from, feel free to enjoy them.
Here are a few of the topics (in no particular order):
- How the network statement really works in IOS
- Setting up SSH
- Initial commands for sanity sake
- NAT with overload
- Router on a stick
- VRFs Continue Reading

I need me some high waisted skinnies; I've always been rather scared of them but Jen's relaxed styling with the loosely tucked in shirt has convinced me.
Geneva sported some excellent vivid red trousers and is a thrift and DIY fanatic (I love the tutorials on her blog). I snapped her whilst she was also being snapped by Vanessa Jackman!
We watched Shini consume her first scone ever in the press room, what an honour! However there is no photographic evidence of this fact so you'll just have to trust me. I passed on this skirt at the yard sale as I was bewildered by it. Silly me.
I loved how simply yet chic this outfit was on MJ, with a nod to Autumn's key trends of knotted belts, ankle boots and vintage satchels. It's a shame that bare leg weather is but a distant memory at the moment (unless I can end up in Jamaica again), but I can't wait to sport a variation of this look with colourful tights (of which I have a plenty) and a mannish coat (of which I have none…grrr).
I just love Fi in general.
The way I've taken this photo makes Winnie's tights look slightly ombre (Topshop please sort it out), though despite the imaginary effect, the wine colour suits my mood perfectly at the moment.
It's hard to pull of various patterns at once, but Yishyene pulls it off with aplomb combining a D&G style knit, leopard print skirt and some fabulous booties.
I touched on this earlier, but you'll never meet a more photo-obsessed bunch, of people with the perfect location for outfit and destination photos always in the back of our minds. What I found even more interesting was taking photos of people taking photos or having their photos taken (same thing really), for a behind the scenes sort of shot. In fact I was snapping Reena, when a random guy approached us and wanted to snap her too, so I decided to document how the situation unfolded. Interesting fact: I've now known her for just over a year which is quite a milestone! Here's a few more candid snaps of random Fashion Week moments.
I'm extremely glad that I could to meet so many friendly people in such a random way; bring on February!

I'm going to go with my stereotypical response to this and say that fixed terms make things less exciting.

I see Cleggy is all over the place saying he is a new Thatcher ...yup I remember all the help we got defeating the Unions , not to say the Soviet Union , from you lot .

Newmania, I don't recall that fighting the Cold war was the personal preserve of Conservatives, and I certainly don't recall seeing you at the Estonian Legation in 1980 or the Protests against Polish martial law in 1981. So if you have nothing to say, don't bother saying it.
- 9:11 am
I entirely agree. The current situation is ludicrous. Those who can't see that need to imagine how they would set up a fair democratic system from scratch. The idea that the incumbent government decides exactly when to go to the people wouldn't even occur to them.

Miaaaoo , get her ….CS ,the Soviet Union may , for all I know , have been even more cowed by the maintenance of a Nuclear deterrent and NATO than your good self , terrifying though you may be . Lib/labs spent the period suggesting an equivalence between said military dictatorship and Land of the Free . That's all .
I can`t resist it , the Estonian legation of 1980 ,(who he ? ) So… when I was acquiring sticky fingers and eye liner you contracted an oddly specific desire to free , wait for it , Estonia ? Did you pick this quaint kingdom from the Atlas the way the Wombles pick their names ? Did you seriously spend your adolescent weekends fighting the Ruskies CS ? Admirable , doubtless ,but , ever so slightly nuts if you don't mind me saying so . No offence , but how did you get there; a magical flying car built by uncle Potts ? Hope the child catcher didn't get you !
Oh dear me , the red army had no chance did they . Don't spoil it CS its too delicious ,.." Where's your homework CS.." "I' e been liberating the down trodden masses sir , the cat wee-ed on it during an exchange of small arms fire …."

Oh dear Newmania, I am obviously a fair deal older than you. The Cold War was not just a military stand off. It was a fundamental clash of values between Democratic states and anti-democratic ones. The 1980s- which perhaps you struggle to remember- were a time of significant political upheaval: major, often Soviet sponsored Peace Movements held massive demonstrations in the West, while in the East Solidarity and Charter 77 and Fidesz were the largest movements in opposition to Communism- which really was the evil Empire. I got involved in supporting anti-Communist dissidents.
In the end it came down to making a moral choice about whose side you were on. While Tory Boys were wearing "Hang Mandela" tee-shirts and Labour people supported CND, my political contribution was to support Solidarity.
"What did you do in the Cold War Daddy?"
"I Bl**dy well fought it!".
In fact I am proud to have been a cold warrior- and that is why I have been recognised by post Communist governments for having supported them when very few others did. It may sound a bit pious- and at the time I did get a certain amount of very similar flack from -with all due respect- idiots who thought I was fighting for lost causes, but if you believe in Liberalism, it is actually surprisingly easy to make the right political or moral choices, and despite your -slightly childish- derision I think I did make a contribution and this why I have had the honour of being recognised.
I guess at the time you were just too busy playing Subbuteo or coping with "teenage kicks" to have noticed what was going on in the world.

.If pontificating was an Olympic sport CS…. I have been a Conservative since the Unions turned the lights out and my father told me the Russians told them to. Liberals were also keen unilateral disarmers ( quickly back to it now ) who detested Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher at least as much as the Soviet Union(Insanity ?)
The reaction in Liberal circles to Clegg 'outing himself 'as a supporter of Margaret Thatcher's Union reform's ( in the Speccie ) I think locates your problem . His mild ,and decades ,late endorsement of liberalising the UK Economy has not by any means been universally supported in Liberal circles It must make your cringe with shame to read it . When the wind changes the weather vein will turn left against it did for the entire New Labour period of a penny on income tax and Ashdown`s prolonged negotiations with Blair.
I think by "fought " you mean "said " but I have no disagreement with you It is the Liberal Party whose record is poor .Your support of Mandelson`s "Post democratic " EU shows me your commitment to democracy is 'negotiable' .
I am 46 by the way as a teen-ager I was probably as po-faced and self important as you , its just that I have out grown it . You will spend the day positioning your self on global geo political issues , I will be changing nappies watching C Beebies and , who , knows , perhaps 'teenage kicks ' will be on the menu if I `m lucky ... ...

Five people were arrested when a small airplane from Colorado carrying about 42 pounds of marijuana landed at an eastern Kansas airport, authorities said.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson said three people from Colorado were on board the 1952 Beechcraft C-35 airplane when it landed at the Amelia Earhart Airport on Wednesday. Police also arrested two people waiting at the airport — another Colorado resident and a Kansas City resident, The St. Joseph (Mo.) News Press reported (http://bit.ly/12q4dNh ).
Wilson said authorities seized the plane and a 2008 SAAB.
"We developed information that there was a small aircraft headed to Atchison that would have marijuana on it," Wilson said. "We also believed there would be a vehicle there to meet them."
Wilson said all five were taken into custody at the airport, and then booked into the Atchison County Jail on possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and no drug tax stamp.
The Atchison County prosecutor's office said formal charges were expected to be filed later Friday.
"What this group didn't plan on was running into a smaller (law enforcement) agency that stopped them in their tracks," Wilson said.

Here is an incentive to recycle: Money
Picture by Sabina Louise Pierce for The New York Times
We are reading Freakonomics right now and are at an early chapter about incentives- what makes people do things? Guilt? Fear? Image among our peers? Patrck Fitzgerald and Ron Gonen think the best incentive is money, and has set up a company to pay you to to recycle your garbage. In their Philadelphia pilot project, a computer chip in recyclable garbage bin weighs the material which is then sold to the recyclers. Almost everybody wins: the municipality dumps less at landfill; the recycling plants get more material; the homeowner gets paid. Losers: paying people for their garbage certainly does not encourage anyone to reduce or re-use, which are as important as recycling. As Bill McDonough says, most recycling is actually downcycling to a lower grade, lower value product. ::Recyclebank via ::New York Times

In life, I believe the moments that change your life are when you meet that one special person. For me, I was lucky and came across this person at a young age. His name was Rick Majerus, whom I call Coach. Our friendship didn't develop until I was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of eight. During those difficult days in the hospital I received visits from Coach and he had the ability to make me feel like I was going to be okay. He motivated and encouraged me to battle this tough disease at a young age and told me to never give up.
I then began my love for basketball. I lived, dreamed, and breathed the sport. I attended every University of Utah men's basketball game and studied every move and play Majerus gave to his team. Coach could see my love for the game and encouraged me to pursue it. I was proud to be one of the only girls at his all-boys basketball camps and his ball girl on the sideline at games. (I never told him, but I used to pull pranks on opposing teams because I wanted Utah to win.)
Throughout his coaching career at Utah, Majerus took me under his wing and taught me everything I needed to know about the game, as well as a couple words my parents weren't too pleased about. Coach had the ability to transform his players to not only be the best on the court, but off the court. I believe this rare quality made him to be one of the greatest basketball coaches in history.
My friendship grew with Coach the older I got. And during the trying times of middle school, he would pick me up and take me to dinner with the give it to me straight "life lesson" chats. He also knew how to embarrass me to the fullest, by calling me out in front of the team and announcing my love obsession for one of the players, Hanno Mottola. One summer during high school, he gave me the "first job" speech and how everyone needed to go through it. His plan was to make me head of the snack bar during one of his summer camps. I was fired after a week because he thought I was focusing too much on getting the players' numbers instead of getting them a Gatorade. He also was adamant about me going to Wisconsin for college, giving me a Wisconsin sweatshirt to wear all senior year. Unfortunately, I went another route, and he eventually forgave me for that. Coach believed in me during the times I thought nobody did. He gave me confidence and reassurance to pursue all of my dreams. I had a calm while being around Coach that made me feel like everything was going to be okay. His love for the game of basketball made me realize what life is all about: To find your passion and live it.
Although a piece of my soul has left me with the passing of Coach Majerus, he will forever live on in my life. I am the person I am today because I was blessed to have had such an amazing friend and mentor. I always promised Coach (after his approval) that he would be front and center at my wedding one day, and I will make sure to keep that promise by having a seat reserved for him with a plate of bratwursts. May his legacy live on and inspire others the way he inspired me.

Both Republican lawmakers and President-elect Donald Trump's transition team believed that they had found a way to begin moving forward immediately with Trump's proposed border wall.
They planned to take advantage of a 2006 law signed by former President George W. Bush that pre-authorized the government to add 700+ miles more of fencing along the southern border.
"The law was never fully implemented and did not include a sunset provision, allowing Trump to pick up where Bush left off — with the help of new money from Congress," Politico noted.
Advertisement - story continues below
Critics have noted, however, that building a fence would technically amount to a violation of the president-elect campaign promise to construct a sturdy wall. But according to the Chicago Tribune, the 2006 law described layers of "reinforcing fencing," which some might argue would be equivalent to a so-called wall.
Either way, pursuing this plan "would allow Congress, without passing a new piece of legislation, to start funding the wall through the normal appropriations process."
TRENDING: Hate: CNN Commentator Explodes Over Trump Supporter's Minority Son
There was one problem. The president-elect had yet to secure any money from Mexico, meaning that Congress would need to pay for the wall with taxpayer funds for the time being.
Writing on Twitter Friday morning, Trump nevertheless assured his followers that the money would "be paid back by Mexico later."

The dishonest media does not report that any money spent on building the Great Wall (for sake of speed), will be paid back by Mexico later!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2017
While it was true that the Mexican government was unlikely to simply hand Trump a check, there were other options available for him to procure the funds.
One included imposing a fee on financial remittances sent home by Mexicans working illegally in the United States, as noted by the Los Angeles Times. Another involved cutting a child tax break proffered to illegal immigrants.
Ideally, both the president-elect and his allies in Congress will approve both funding measures later this month. Building the border wall would indeed be an important feat, but building it with the money of illegal immigrants instead of taxpayers would be just that much better.
Please share this story on Facebook and Twitter and let us know what you think about Trump's plan to use a 2006 law to immediately move forward with his proposed border wall!

Somerset County Council has drawn up a cross-party bid for super-fast broadband funding, it has been announced.
The local authority is seeking £7 million in public money to support the rollout of fibre broadband services and hopes to see an equivalent investment from the private sector.
Ken Maddock, Leader of the Conservative-run council, said that improving Somerset's broadband infrastructure is the "best single thing we can do to help business".
Opposition councillors have also thrown their weight behind the campaign, reports the BBC.
Jill Shortland, Leader of the Liberal Democrat group, commented that super-fast broadband is something Somerset desperately needs.
"We are fully behind the bid and have offered our full support and also to be part of the delegation to see the Culture Minister, Ed Vaizey, at the beginning of May," she stated.
Somerset County Council is aiming to deliver 30Mb broadband to 85 per cent of the county's population by 2015.

I've known for some time that the best description I can give for my spiritual quest right now is the desire for interior freedom. Below is an excerpt from a book called Fire of Mercy and edited by my husband. As I read it this morning, it resonated so deeply with me and what I know to be true about my spiritual journey. I offer it as a meditation, hoping that it will speak to you of invitation and intimacy.
"Left to our instincts, we will never be anything but pretenders, especially in the realm of religion.
Jesus, for his part, prescribes the way to the heart, which begins with withdrawal from finding approval in the world around us.
And so he says, "Go into your storeroom, lock your door, pray to your Father."
My own feet must come back into my house. My own hand must lock the door. My own heart must pray in secret. Once I have entered this inner chamber, I can go out to find God everywhere, but not before, because in fact the God I encountered deep in my interior silence will show me his presence in the cosmos. Until then I will be seeing only reflections of my own desires and hearing echoes of my own inner noise.
In that way, no one else's experience of God can be imitated so as to become my own.
The true God abides in hiddenness.
Inside comes before outside, center before periphery, hiddenness before manifestation, since all of the latter are "generated" by the former.
One of God's truest names is, *"the One who sees in hidden places." In a way we could say that God only sees in hidden places, that consequently the actions and attitudes of pretenders in public places are not seen by God because they are not real.
Hiddenness is here a crucial criterion for genuineness, for reality, for being in fact. How horrible not to be seen by God, to live in such a way that our lives are mere fleeting ghosts before him! Our vanity and all our chasing the wind are not so much evils as they are insubstantial: to the point of rendering God blind to them.
Hiddenness, solitude, and silence have the effect, so to speak, of gathering up the scattered: atoms of our being and kneading them into an image recognizable in the eyes of God.
The Father has made me a steward over myself, and interiority is the space where I do the work assigned me.
Now, the deepest part of the work assigned me is to seek for the Face of God even as he himself is forever seeking my face, my true-identity.
In actuality, God has already found me, but I cannot find him until I come home into myself.
No other human work can be successful unless it can be traced back to this essential activity that is purely interior: seeking the Face of God so as to abide in its presence with the deepest part of my being.
The call to do this constitutes human identity."
Fire of Mercy, Heart of the Word: Meditations on the Gospel According to Saint Matthew: Vol. 1 by Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis
*This is the name Hagar gave to God when she encountered him in the wilderness. The image is of Hagar with her son, Ishmael.

440. You got your figures wrong and you then
decided you could not continue with your own estimates?
(Mr Marshall) No, no that really is unfair. If you
will permit me to explain.
441. I would never dream of being unfair, Mr
Marshall. I am trying to work out whose figures were they?
(Mr Marshall) They were priced by Railtrack.
442. Yes.
(Mr Marshall) If I can be absolutely clear.
443. Please.
(Mr Marshall) The reality with rail projects, and
it is going to be as much an issue for Railtrack's successor and
who is picking up the risk as it has been in the past, is entirely
dependent on what stage of evolution that feasibility study of
the project has got to.
444. What stage of evolution the project has
got to?
(Mr Marshall) Yes.
445. Therefore your figures could be wholly
wrong because the project is evolving?
(Mr Marshall) Because it is too early to price it
accurately, absolutely.
446. Why did you then price it? Is this unusual?
Do people not normally give prices at the beginning of a project
and make at least a wild stab at staying somewhere near them?
(Mr Marshall) You make a wild stab early on because
everybody wants a wild stab and as you do your pre-feasability
level, you define the scope of a project. You then do a full feasibility.
You talk with your client or your funder constantly as you are
going through that process. The reality is until you have got
the scope up and down, and you have probably spent about ten per
cent of the cost of the project, nobody in their right mind would
go on risk and price it and say "This is the final price,
this is what will be the project".
447. So no-one should take any of your prices
seriously at the beginning of a project?
(Mr Marshall) They should not take anyone's guesstimates
at the beginning of a project seriously.
448. Mr Marshall, is it true that at the beginning
of this year you did say that the cost of the East Coast Main
Line had increased by nearly 100 per cent in some of the instances?
Now this is a point the Chairman was making. Here we have got
a situation that an estimate was made and then within a short
period of time it had increased by 100 per cent. Is that a fact?
Is that something that did happen?
(Mr Marshall) Firstly, it is not a fact at all.
449. What was the increase?
(Mr Marshall) The underlying increaseand you
will recall perhaps that the SRA came out with the statement two
weeks after that assertion had been madewas less than 20
per cent, that is a fact. The second point, if I may, because
it is relevant, is that the Rail Regulator, not known as a soft
touch, himself has come out in his regulatory framework and said
that no project that Railtrack enters into should go on risk,
priced as we were calling it, until it gets to level five which
is the point I was suggesting to you, a full feasibility study,
the scope nailed down and at that point one goes on risk to the
450. Would it be fair to say that with the reports
that we have gotand this was on 1st May this yearthat
some of the estimates had increased by 100 per cent, that Railtrack
said they could not handle the improvements and the work required
on the East Coast Main Line, that there was this question of facilities
for passengers which were being withdrawn or reduced, would it
be fair to say, Mr Marshall, with that scenario that the Secretary
of State was right to say Railtrack had got it wrong and that
he wanted to make sure the business went ahead in the best interests
of the travelling public?
(Mr Marshall) You are tempting me to get into areas
which I suspect Madam Chairman will prevent me from getting into
but if I could respond in shorthand. Firstly, whatever the merits
and views about the future of the industry, the way the Secretary
of State choked Railtrack by his own actions is unforgivable and
will have a huge cost to the public purse in the ability to raise
public finance.
451. Are we not saying then that the way that
Railtrack handled the East Coast Main Line development was unforgivable?
(Mr Marshall) It certainly is not unforgivable. The
fact is that Railtrack itself, when nobody else was prepared to
fund it, took the initiative and launched phase one.
452. What was your function, Mr Marshall, if
not to find upgrades of railway systems?
(Mr Marshall) It was and, indeed, that is why
453. Clearly it is hardly relevant to say that
no-one else was prepared to undertake that task?
(Mr Marshall) No, forgive me, we went ahead without
funding sponsorship. At the end of the day Railtrack can only
borrow and fund if at some point it is going to get a return on
the scheme. The point I am making is that we went ahead.
454. On this point about Railtrack's responsibilities
here. I put to you earlier on, Mr Marshall, West Coast Main Line,
you gave evidence to this Committee, quite clearly in your blunt
fashion, very much appreciated that if the Government did not
come forward with a £4 billion grant for the West Coast Main
Line, which you were committed to, it would not go ahead. You
have walked away from the East Coast Main Line, you have been
kicked out of the Channel Tunnel phase two, what major project
have you actually done without saying to the Government "We
want you to pay for it"?
(Mr Marshall) Firstly, we were not kicked out of phase
two of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link at all, we chose not to exercise
our option. Secondly, the fact is that no private company can
fund upgrades without being paid. If one looks at the West Coast
Main Line, £4 billion of the £6.3 is renewal of the
network that is already there.
455. We are going to get stopped here but I
think the Committee does really want this clarified. You are making
the point, which you consider to be valid, that really it has
been Government that has choked you off, it has been the Treasury
that has done this business and all the rest of it, when the reality
is that West Coast Main Line would not go aheadand it was
not £6.3 when there was £4 billion, it was 5.8, you
then shoved it up to 6.3unless the public purse paid for
it. The question I am asking isto try to put this in contextwhich
major project have Railtrack been responsible for that has not
actually involved the Government, the public purse, paying for
it? Which one? Tell me one.
(Mr Marshall) Absolutely none. If I may explain why,
without any embarrassment. The fact is that no major projects
in the rail industry are commercially viable.
456. No private money at all?
(Mr Marshall) It does not matter whether it is British
Rail or Railtrack or son of Railtrack, private money and raising
on the debt markets, as Railtrack has done, £4 billion debt
on the debt markets helps but the reality is, and particularly
with the renewal of the core network which is two thirds of any
major upgrade you choose, that has to come via the regulator because
the railway commercially does not pay its way.
Mr Stevenson: That is very helpful.
Mr O'Brien: A question to Mr Bloom. The three
phases which have been referred to for the East Coast Main Line,
the three phases that Railtrack is reported as saying they could
not handle, has that been identified with any of the business
or research that you have taken over from Railtrack?
457. Is that part of your continuing programme,
Mr Rollings?
(Mr Rollings) It is indeed, yes.
458. Are you looking at these figures?
(Mr Rollings) Yes, we are looking at them but there
is not much progress on that as we speak. I cannot give you anything
459. Could you let us have a note on that because
after all said and done the East Coast is important and the West
Coast is important. We have been told that Railtrack could not
handle these three phases. I want to know what is happening and
what the estimated cost will be? I wonder if you could let us
have some information on that.
(Mr Bloom) Yes.

It was a game with big time players making big time plays: Mountain Brook of Class 7A, taking on the Class 6A Helena Huskies.
Even though the classifications are different, these guys had an all war.
First play of the game, Helena quarterback Riley Davis handed it off to Devan Walker who reversed it to Lawson Peoples for a reverse pass to Cade Pugh, a linebacker who got a dream of catching a touchdown pass for 80 yards.
Huskies were up 7-0. But Mountain Brook has a really good running back by the name of Harold Joyner.
Joyner scored two 11-yards touchdown in the first half to put the Spartans up 14-7. Then Joyner, in a bit of irony, reversed it to his teammate Sean Elmore to score a 22-yard touchdown.
The Spartans took the lead 21-7 at halftime.
The only other score in the game was in the fourth quarter after a great interception by Cade Pugh who stepped in front of Hamp Sisson's pass. And Riley Davis tossed a 31-yard touchdown to Randall Tolbert to make it 21-14.
The Huskies ran out of time. Mountain Brook is now 2-0. The Huskies fall to 0-1 on the season. But there will be another battle next week.

No boiled bunnies, no stalking.
The busty Brit who dragged Yankee general manager Brian Cashman into a sex-and-shakedown scandal isn't the "Fatal Attraction"-like stalker Manhattan prosecutors have made her out to be, her new lawyer said yesterday.
"Go back to Glenn Close in that movie where she's boiling the kid's pet, the rabbit, and she goes off the deep end," defense lawyer Rory Bellantoni said. "There are no allegations of that here."
Bellantoni took some potshots at the Manhattan district attorney's stalking and harassment case against Louise Meanwell after telling a judge that she will testify before a grand jury on March 15.
"I don't know what the rush to indict is. What's the rush here?" he said. "She wasn't caught on a roof with a sniper's rifle with Cashman's family in her sights."
In addition to mentioning the 1987 Michael Douglas thriller, Bellantoni alluded to the woman who infamously stalked David Letterman at his Connecticut home.
"That's a stalker there," he said. "This is somebody that had a consensual relationship."
The attack came as sources told The Post that Cashman was at the courthouse yesterday before her appearance.
Meanwell, 36, was arrested last month for allegedly shaking down Cashman for $6,000 and trying to pull off another $15,000 squeeze play against the baseball bigwig, whose wife filed for divorce a day after the scandal broke.
Bellantoni said Cashman's extortion claims are a smoke screen for his failures as a husband, and accused prosecutors of shielding him.

Canada is a country in North America that is next to the United States, and it's the 2nd largest country in the world (size is 9.985 million km²). This country has 10 provinces, and 3 territories. Canada became a dominion on July 1, 1867. Its 10 provinces are: Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec, Alberta, ...read more.
Canada. Proud to live here. One of the most natural countries. I live in Vancouver, and for all of the people who say it's boring, it's not. Rain is a downside but that also means that we can plant tropical plants in a colder country! Plus, we are used to that. (Everybody realizes that the people not wearing jackets are tourists. ) yes the housing, but places like Toronto have cheaper housing, so that evens it out. We are not racist, though I was very sad to see Our people being racist to Chinese, but now, it's changed. Plus, where else in the world can you ski in Canada where you can't anywhere else? I can't tell you much about other places, but I know at Vancouver, we can ski in a averagely warm weather. Bring a jacket in case! If you don't want something simple like Seymour and grouse or cypress, go to whistler, an amazing resort unquestionably the best resort in the world. Sun peaks resort at okanagon is a very good place as well. Meet loons, ducks, Eagles, Hawks, songbirds, ...more
As I go through all of the comments I do agree and disagree. Yes Canada is a great place to live, a place where if you need healthcare you get it no matter what. Place with low poverty rates and low homeless rates. A beautiful diverse land, but unless you have lived here you whole life and have paid attention you wouldn't know all the cracks in Canada. Our politics are flawed like any other country, our economy is getting worse by the day. This is a country that will help other countries before helping its citizens. There is racisms all around Canada, I saw a lot of comments saying that there is no racism but that is so far from the truth, there is a lot of crime and corruption, racism and hate crimes. I am a born and raised Canadian and living here I would honestly say that Canada isn't the best country in the world, not so say that I don't love it, I do, I am so proud to be Canadian. No country is perfect and the problem today is that no one is informed anymore, no one can comment ...more
This year I studied in Australia for 6 months, visited New Zealand for a month, spent two months in South East Asia and I spent another month divided between France, England, the Netherlands and Italy. Although I loved each country for its unique qualities, none of them compared to Canada, where I was born and raised. We have a vast array of landscapes, residents from every country in the world, year round festivals and fun activities to do. Also, if you like sports, we have the best of both worlds with outdoor activities in the summer and hockey, skiing and snowboarding in the winter! Although excessive pride may be a very dangerous thing, I very much love being Canadian
One of the comments I read is that "Canada is strong and free, has good people, good economy, amazing natural areas," etc. And I definitely, definitely, DEFINITELY agree with the person on that one. :) Canada is the best country hands-down. Not only that, but aside from economical terms and healthcare systems compared to other countries, there are virtually no arrogance, just assertiveness. No bashing, just acceptance. Rather than being indifferent and inconsiderate, the Canadians in general are friendly and creative. Canadians are truly independent, good at the heart and mind (with their amazing manners and etiquettes), and of course, polite.
To simplify it all, Canada is even better than my home country. And I'm PROUD to admit that. Besides... Living in Canada for 6 years in my life is MUCH better than even living a year here. Great childhood. Memorable middle school years. Don't get me wrong; a part of me is still patriotic and willing to love my own country, but ...more
Clean, Environmental, Safe, Friendly. This is an amazing place to raise children. It's the best country. Close proximity to the US is an added benefit. Best place to raise children, public schools are good and safe. Somewhat expensive goods in the market because a lot is imported, but the selection and availability is very good. Great freedom. Great country.
Downsides are very lackluster government (all parties) who are not accountable, vote along party lines and do not 'represent' their constituents as they are supposed to. Also Canada had poor immigration policies in the past two decades before they tightened it up. They accepted an enormous amounts of immigrants, but with a very skewed distribution (many from the same small set of countries). 20% of the country is foreign born, but that isn't a problem, what is wrong is that immigrants don't care to be 'Canadian' and cluster together in their own cultural groups, and then seek to build a little island of their culture in ...more
Canada is by far the best country in the world. Canadiens aren't stereotyping other countries like the USA does to Canada. In Canada there is way less crime, people do less stupid stuff, politics are way better in Canada than USA. Canada is a very peaceful country. Canada is not the warmest place, who cares if it's cold, I would rather live in a place with all 4 seasons than living in a country that is warm all year round. Taking walks in Canada is a good feeling because it's truly a beautiful place. As a Canadian, I hate it when people are stereotyping this wonderful country. Americans shouldn't be judging Canada when they're the ones who should be judged because of their own problems. Don't say stuff about a country unless you traveled in it. The only bad thing I hate about Canada is that there is way too many immigrants, they piss me off, they have no manures whatsoever. If immigration didn't exist there would be more peace, if immigrants had to pick one country to immigrate it has ...more
One of the most beautiful, well-managed countries in the world without a doubt. We have beautiful landscapes from coast to coast, polite, healthy, strong and intelligent people. There is very little racism in this country, and most of that which is present is very subtle and passive. We have a healthy mix of conservative and liberal values, which ultimately leads to a better nation and better people. We arguably have more freedom than any other country in the world (even the United States of muricah,) and have some of the best educational and political institutions in the world. We have beautiful cities, picturesque countryside, and despite what some believe it actually only snows here for typically less than a quarter of the year. We have attained a great wealth that keeps us relatively safe by aligning us with powerful nations, and this means we have social services many countries are deprived of. The socialist influences in our country have proven to be fantastic elements, ...more
My Personal list
1) Canada. I've been to Vancouver and it is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen. The people were so nice and friendly. The architecture and buildings were beautiful and futuristic and the city was so clean it was actually really hard to find even one cigarette on the ground (In NYC you can scarcely avoid stepping on them). The news only talks about good things like some exciting new technology or the completion of a new hotel while the news in America is just fear mongering and partisan propaganda. Also, free welfare, paid maternal leave, marriage equality since 2005, need I say more.
2) New Zealand. Interesting because it's one of the few former colonial countries in the world that actually treated their native population decently. It's the first major country every year to celebrate new year's eve. It is also one of the most democratic countries in the world, has one of the world's most transparent governments and has the cleanest air on ...more
I like Canada because I live there and I see no racism and there not much crime so its quite peaceful and have a really great education for kids and teenagers and Canada is a mixed economy which means that all kinds of religion, colors and kinds are allowed and are not always being offended by other religions
Canada is the best country ever! Its even got the 2010 winter Olympics coming to Vancouver - gunsnroses44
Canada is rich with the most important thing in life: kind and caring people. I think our climate has shaped us in this regard. Canadians have an innate sense of cooperation and a strong sense of community, because they quickly realize that if they don't work together, they would not survive the harsh winters, with 6 feet of snow and brutal cold. That is why we don't have a massive homeless problem in Canada, and people work to get along, because anyone physically homeless is basically a popsicle stick by late fall. If not by fall, then definitely by January or February, our two coldest months of the year, where temps can reach -35C with a wind chill factor. Those 2 months I would probably like to be in a warmer climate like Cuba or Florida, but for the other 10 months it's pretty amazing. Except they are geoengineering (aka Solar Radiation Management, cloud seeding, albedo enhancement, high altitude aerosol spraying, etc.) our climate now, keeping us colder, even in summertime, so ...more
In Canada you can always make a friend, find someone of your own nationality and get what ever you want. If you live in Canada you get the best possible health care and financial aid. In Canada you won't find any racists, rebels, terrorists or anarchists. We are the second biggest country in the world ( after Russia ) and we are only touching one country; our ally the USA. We are oil rich and have a strong Economy. Our great nation has not had a single blight on its beautiful history of unison and diversity at the same time. That is something no other country has and ever will achieve. Canada truly is the best country in the world:)!
Just spent the last year in North America. It's mind-boggling how many Americans (people from the USA have assumed laid claim to the demonym for people from the Americas) truly believe everyone in the world wants to live in the USA. After a few months in various locations across their country, you get a complete picture of how ignorant, arrogant, and self-serving these people are. Follow this with the same amount of time in Canada and you quickly realize who has quietly become the mature, intelligent, and confident true leader of North America. With 10% of the population, sure they aren't the economic engine or military power of the world. But they have the stability, vision, and leadership qualities of a country that people around the world respect. Thank you Canada for my experience in your beautiful country. USA, I will do what many others around the world do... Pitty you.
Canada is definitely the best country. (Especially the province Alberta) We have free health care, we are peaceful and we don't have wars with any countries. I fail to see how the U.S. is above us. Our province has no debt, (unlike USA) and along with our health care we are just all around better then any other country.
I vote for Canada because of the people. The nicest most welcoming and most tolerant people in the world live in Canada.
Now it's not just the people, the quality of life in the country is the highest in the world (along with Australia) and comparing to other countries the job market and the economy are both great, taxes are pretty low.
And let's not forget.. The best national anthem in the world!
Love you Canada!
Canada is a lot better than America here are some reasons why: no worrying about walking down the street and getting shot no worrying about maniacs become our leader guns are not legal must I go on my point is Canada is better than America so we should not be 3rd after America in 1st and I know a lot of people would agree with
Now I'm going to give you a quote from your new president who could never win in Canada
"Justin Trudeau is the worst PRESIDENT Canada has ever had" sure he is think about what you say before you say it oh and if Donald Trump the smart saying our parents have told us a million times "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all" but if Donald where to follow that he would literally not say anything at all
Thanks if you made it to the end I know this is long and boring
A Canadian of Indian origin (Second-Gen) Canada has to be one of the best countries to live in. A lot of people claim multiculturalism can't work? It's not perfect but the fact that so many races/religions can live in one country in relative peace and minimal isolation is great. Canada is the best country ever! Proud to be Canadian.
I've been living here for 9 years since I've moved from the Philippines. The best nine years of my life. This place is peaceful, not racist, well-educated and beautiful. Sure we have only 36 million people, don't have the strongest military or biggest economy, but we have the second biggest country in the world with a smaller population than California! That is a very good thing! That means less homeless and lots, LOTS more space. We have a good economy, and we don't need a very strong military! Our strong relationship with the U.S accounts for the absence of military.
This place has free healthcare and not to mention, everyone here is so polite! I've made a lot of friends since 2008, too much to count. Move here, and enjoy life.
Canada is amazing, are nice people nice FOOD! And nice city's. This country is Number one! A site won't tell us wrong! Are you with me CANADIANS we must push Canada to number one make Canada 100% Nice and Amazing. Are you with me. Make the people rule! No government no Harper only CANADIANS! WELCOME EVERYONE! WE ARE CANADIANS WE ARE THE BEST!
Canada is the best country in the world, because is one of the most safest country in the world and it is very easy for a student to get a job in Canada. Canada is my dream country, I would like to spend the rest of my life in Canada.
I'm Italian and I think Canada is the best place in the whole Earth.
Sure, their food and weather sucks, and their history is poor (well, I'm used to Italy so understand me...) but it's a safe country, with a strong economy and job opportunities, the people are nice and polite, beautiful houses, breathtaking landscapes, Nature everywhere. I'm planning to move there soon. Canadians are maybe the most friendly people you could ever meet!
Their "cousins" should learn how to be good people from them:
Canada is the hat? No, is the HEAD.
USA is the bum.
Canada is the best Country in the world hands down. Other Countries don't have stability, security and multiculturalism like Canada does. It's the Country of freedom and pluralistic. Look at our backyard, it's got Canadian rockies everywhere.
Over all I say Canada, we get along with everyone, unless they try stepping on us, then look out, we are easy going, have much land and lots of water is usually clean for swimming in and fishing, our forests are rich with woods and also our farms are rich with harvests, and usually the worst we have to face is a little cold and snow, and most of our snow comes to us by way of the USA to the south of us.
There is no feeling like touching down on a lake in Northern Ontario, knowing that, perhaps, you are the first human ever to see this place. So much of our great dominion is still untouched and pure.
Politically, we have close ties to both Britain and America. Our system of government, a constitutional monarchy, is second to none. It combines ancient traditions with modern freedom, and the two have a seamless boundary.
God keep our land, glorious and free. - beatles
Canada should be #1 because everyone sees us as eskimos and polar bears. In California, if its below 9 degrees celsius its like "GET ON YOUR COATS, WERE GONNA GET FROST BITE! " I mean come on! Whats the big deal about Canada being cold. Were 2nd biggest country in the world, we have amazing weather (Everyone thinks its cold because we do the celsius thing and U. S uses fahrenheit), and we are VERY sorry for Justin Bieber, not everyone can predict when an ass will be made (who cares anyways, america was tons anyways)

NAT doesn't work well with clients that are actually servers. FTP in active mode is such a client. When requesting a file (including a directory listing), the server creates a connection to the client over which the data is sent.
FTP, being a very common protocol, is usually intercepted by NAT and "fixed". Instances of PORT are rewritten from the client's internal address to the router's external address.
Your problem is that this is not occurring. I can think of three reasons
How does NAT know whether a socket is a used as an FTP command connection? Commonly,
Is your server running on port 21?
Simply put, you aren't using passive mode. Most FTP clients default to passive mode. That way, all the connections are made from client to server.
