For this lab you will write:
1) A "MyNum" class that will read "randFile.txt" file and obtain the 20,000 integer numbers
2) A "Time" class that will return the system time with sufficient resolution to so the time between insertions can be measured
3) A "Node" class that will encapsulate the integer number and the Time it was generated.
4) And a "Storage class" class that will contain the all the SORTED Nodes using an insertion sort.
5) The "main" or driver.
The main() should exercise the other classes, such that the MyNum class assigns a number and the Time class a time to the Node class. The node is added to the Storage class which maintains an insertion sorted list of the Nodes added from Low to High. The driver class will complete this process after all 20,000 entries in the randFile.txt have been read. After completion the complexity of the algorithm should be demonstrated by the times.

Welcome to Palestine
Welcome to Palestine, dubbed by Israeli media the flytilla,[1] is an initiative of Palestinian civil society organizations in the West Bank to welcome hundreds of internationals to participate in a series of solidarity activities with the Palestinian people in the territory.[2] According to organizers, the aim is also to draw attention to Israel's border policies and life under Israeli occupation.[3][4] Israeli officials described those participating as "hooligans" and "provocateurs," and maintained they had a right to deny the activists entry.[1] Both in 2011—the project's inaugural year—and 2012, many participants were not allowed onto flights departing from European airports to Israel as a result of Israeli diplomatic efforts. In 2011, a total of 130 activists who did arrive at airport were refused entry upon landing, and a few were flown back to their countries' of origin immediately. Four people were granted entry after agreeing to sign documents in which they pledged not to participate in disturbances of the order. The rest of those refused entry were kept in two jails, some for several days, until their expulsions could be arranged.[5]
Welcome to Palestine 2011[edit]
Organizers estimated 600 to 1,000 international activists planned to participate, with delegations from France, Great Britain, Sweden, Germany, the USA, Japan and several African countries.[2][6] Olivia Zemor, a French activist said about half the participants were French and ranged in age from 9 to 85.[4] Sam Bahour, a Palestinian coordinator for the Right to Enter Campaign, said the international activists were invited to participate in the "Welcome to Palestine" initiative by 30 Palestinian civil society organisations.[6]
Upon arrival on 8 July in Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, the international activists were to openly declare their intent to go to occupied Palestinian territory to Israeli immigration officials.[2][6] Activists say Israel's prejudicial border policies prompt visitors intending to travel to Palestinian areas to lie about their destination and this initiative aims to draw attention to the right of Palestinians to receive visitors.[2][3][6]
Palestinian civil society organisations who make up Welcome to Palestine said they have planned a full itinerary of peaceful activities beginning in Bethlehem and Ramallah on 9 July.[1][2] According to the New York Times, Palestinian organizers include "well-known advocates of non-violent protest like Sami Awad of the Bethlehem-based Holy Land Trust and Mazin Qumsiyeh, a science professor at Bethlehem University."[1]
Israel's response[edit]
In the days prior to the launch of the initiative, Yitzhak Aharonovitch, Israel's Internal Security minister, said those intending to participate were "hooligans", and Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister, said "Every country has the right to deny entrance of provocateurs and trouble-makers into its borders."[1][3] Israeli officials ordered a heightened security presence at the airport.[1] Local media dubbed the initiative a "flightilla", referencing the stymied attempt of the Freedom Flotilla II to break the Gaza blockade, and disseminated reports that the international visitors would attempt to create chaos at the airport.[1] Activists said they were only planning nonviolent activities, and took issue with what they described as a smear campaign launched by Israel against them.[4]
Israel's Interior Ministry sent a letter with a list of 342 passengers it described as "pro-Palestinian radicals" to foreign airlines notifying them that these people would be refused entry.[1] Airlines were asked to prevent these passengers from boarding, and were warned that if they were allowed to fly into Tel Aviv, they would be sent back again on the same aircraft.[1] Several airlines did as Israel requested, among them Lufthansa, Swiss International Air Lines and EasyJet.[1][7] Jet2.com canceled tickets to Israel, and according to The Guardian, did not provide a refund, to three Manchester women that had intended on participating in the "flytilla" protest.[8] Donzel Jean Claude, spokesman for Swiss Air said that this issue is regulated by the International Civil Aviation Organization and that airlines are "legally obliged" not to board passengers for whom they have information from the destination country that these people will not be allowed to enter. Dr Mark Ellis, executive director of the International Bar Association said that "every country has the right to say who can and who cannot enter its borders. It's a controversial matter, but not illegal".[9][10]
Detainees and deportees[edit]
By 9 July, Israeli authorities had questioned hundreds of airline passengers who had arrived at Ben Gurion Airport, and detained 124 people. Four were deported, and the rest, some 76 women and 38 men, were taken to prisons in Beersheba (Ela) and Ramleh (Givon) in Israel, where Israeli officials said they would be held until deported.[11] The majority of the detainees are French, but there are also nationals from Belgium, Bulgaria, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.[12] Two Australians, Vivienne Porzsolt of Jews against the Occupation,[13] and former parliamentarian Sylvia Hale, who had been participants on the Canadian Boat to Gaza, the Tahrir,[14] as part of the Freedom Flotilla II,[15] flew from Crete to Tel Aviv and were detained but won a precedent-setting court decision allowing them stay in Israel and apply for permission to travel to Palestine.[16] Among the British detainees who include four Scots, five English and three Welsh, was the coordinator for the British end of the visit who is also a university teacher and chairman of The Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign, as well as four retired professionals between the ages of 66 and 83, an Open University research fellow, the deputy leader of the Wales Green Party and a founding member of Swansea Palestine Community Link.[17]
The Jerusalem Post reported on 10 July that group of Belgian men being held in Beersheba issued a statement declaring a hunger strike that French and German detainees at the same facility may also have joined.[18] The demands are to be granted contact with their families, attorneys, and one another, and an international investigation into the process that led to their detainment.[18] As of 11 July, 38 detainees had been deported, leaving 82 still in Israeli custody.[12]
Six Israeli pro-Palestinian activists who came to the airport to demonstrate their support for the initiative were arrested by Israeli authorities, after, according to the Israeli police spokesman, they "caused a disturbance in the terminal".[19]
Welcome to Palestine representatives in Bethlehem said legal action would be taken to challenge Israel's response.[2]
According to Benyamin Netanyahu, the flytilla activists were barred because they represented a "provocation [that] was conceived by extremist Islamic and anti-Israel organizations who object to peace and call for Israel's destruction."[20] Israel had warned airlines to bar personae non gratae from flying or face footing the bill for deporting them, fines, and denial of their aircraft to use Israeli airspace.[21][22] Hundreds of people had their flight reservations cancelled by various airlines on 15 April, and an Israeli official said that anyone who managed to evade the Israeli no-fly requests would be apprehended at the Tel Aviv airport and deported.[23][24][25] Air France said it would "refuse to embark any passenger not admissible by Israel", citing as justification the Chicago Convention.[24] In a sarcastic letter, the Israeli government proposed alternative objects of protest for the activists to focus on: "Syrian regime's daily savagery against its own people, which has claimed thousands of lives, Iranian regime's brutal crackdown on dissidents and its support for terrorism throughout the world, and Hamas rule in Gaza, where terror organizations commit a double war crime by firing rockets at civilians while hiding behind civilians".[26][27] Some pro-Israeli activists also flew in to protest the Welcome to Palestine fly-in, which they called an "act of hatred".[28]
Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch and his team were thanked by Netanyahu for what he regarded as a successful operation;[29] Aharonovitch in turn expressed his gratitude to the airlines and European governments for their cooperation.[28]
Participants in the project said they wanted to pass through the airport in Tel Aviv without incident in order to go directly to the West Bank, where they wanted to take part in a project on the right to education for Palestinian children.[30]
According to an Israeli official, 40% of names on the Shin Bet fly-in blacklist were not activists, including Israeli citizens, European business people and government officials, with even a French diplomat and his wife having tickets cancelled.[31] The Israeli foreign ministry later confirmed that "mistakes were made".[21]
Israeli newspaper Haaretz said the country had used "extreme-to-hysterical measures to stop the activists from flying in, to the point of threatening the airlines";[32] Israeli journalist Gideon Levy had lamented before the fly-in that his country never "miss[es] an opportunity to look ridiculous in the eyes of the world."[33] Israel's Channel 10 carried commentary saying the government would have been better off greeting the activists with roses and escorting them to Bethlehem on buses.[20]
In the end, less than thirty out of an estimated 1,500 intended participants reached Bethlehem.[21][34]

Is it the Paraty or the Paratay? Net A Porter and Saks seem to think differently on the spelling of this hit Chloe bag. The luscious python version of the Paraty got the handbag world buzzing, questioning the designer and desiring to be on the wait list. The python version had my full attention as well. But last week when I saw the Paratay in Saks I was left feeling not completely satisfied. It was not that I was totally unimpressed, but I was at least partially unimpressed. Nothing overly amazing in person and I even saw it in a luscious hue of green. I can blame the lackluster feeling on my shopping ban though, so I may have a skewed perception. This mustard yellow color is rich and beautiful on the Chloe Paratay Tote which will slide over the shoulder for a day tote. The color is called chrome yellow and is available for pre-order at Saks now. The goldtone details offset the leather coloring perfectly and the dimensions of the tote are 21″W X 14½"H X 8¼"H. Buy through Saks for $2,195.
The ultimate question, how do you really spell the name of this bag: Paraty or Paratay?

Bullet Report: Dollar – Dollar Correction comes, watch out for the OIL – USD Correlation
There are no economic announcements scheduled for release in this new week that has begun with the Almighty Dollar losing value against all other currencies. After rallying for most part of the month. The USD index lost 0.70% against a basket of other currencies, adding to Friday's small losses. Upcoming events that could stir up volatility are now the OPEC meeting and the Italian Referendum on December 4th. The market will also focus on the all-important US Non-Farm Payrolls on Friday.
Currencies: : Dollar index dips to as low as 100.64 so far, comparing to last week's high at 102.05, but stays well above 100 handle. EURUSD recovered all the way to 1.0685 from 1.06 levels while the USDJPY dropped to 111.33, all the way from 113.85 which was Friday's highest point. Adding to the risks for Dollar Bulls, is the fact that Hilary Clinton's case for a vote recount is gathering steam. Should a recount happen, this would be extremely negative for the USD which has gained massively in value ever since Republican Donald Trump has been elected US President.
Oil and Gold: Oil prices have taken a beating since Friday ahead of the OPEC meeting today where a supply cut was to be discussed. Saudi Arabia though had said on Friday that it would not attend this meeting as the country believes that the oil market will balance itself in 2017 even if producers did not intervene. As lower OIL prices lead to lower inflation (which leads to lower interest rates thus a lower Dollar) we could see oil driving Dollar's strength in the next weeks. Oil traded as low as $45.13 this morning, compared to $48 on Friday and $49.21 highs posted earlier last week. Gold also reversed its losses on the back of a weaker USD. The Yellow metal posted a new low of $1171 last week but managed to rebound to $1193 at time of writing.
Stocks: Markets haven't reflected the big move of the Dollar overnight. Japan's Nikkei which had performed better than Wall Street thanks to the JPY's drop, ended down -0.1%. European stocks today have opened marginally lower. US stocks all hit record highs last week, something that was last time done in 1999. Some investors though, are now questioning whether the stock markets and the USD have gotten carried away with over optimism as to Trump's policy and speculate that a large portion of those gains could be reversed if there are signs of these policies being harder to materialize that initially expected.

Hi! Today I'm joining the Week to Beat The Heat summer blog tour with a little post about one way my kids (and I!) love to spend hot afternoons - making (and eating, of course) homemade ice pops.
|Classic NatalieandSam photoshoot right here.
My girls looove ice pops - they'd eat them all day if I'd let them, and happily avoid any other food. While I have nothing against a box of Popsicles or plastic-wrapped "freezies", sometimes it's just fun to spend a half hour or so thinking up and creating your own flavors and combinations!
Originally I thought I'd do a fresh tropical fruit combination for this post, but one night Natalie (very randomly) asked me for iced tea before bed. While sweet iced tea is a favorite beverage of mine, I had no idea she liked it - and I still don't know what prompted her to ask. Anyway, it got the wheels turning - sweet tea ice pops? Why not?
A little trip through Google sent me off in the direction of candied lemon peel - after looking over a few recipes, I got the basics down.
You can find a recipe to your liking online, but here are the basics:
hot water (to blanch the lemon slices in)
ice water (to blanch the lemon slices in)
sugar water (to boil/candy the lemon slices in)
I relied heavily on Martha Stewart - I sliced a lemon very thin, dropped them in boiling water (off the heat) for a minute or so, then into an ice bath. I left them in the ice bath while I got my sugar water going (one to one ratio), then moved them to my pan.
Make sure you lay them out in an even layer, otherwise you'll have clumps of lemon candy. Not that that's a bad thing, but it's not helpful for ice pops. ;)
If it's at all possible - do this on a gas stove. If you have electric - your heat needs to be lower than you think!! (Not that I burned a whole bunch of my lemon or anything, I'm totally just guessing here...*ahem*)
I love these. I made the tea mix a little stronger than usual, because I didn't want to lose any of the flavor - and it worked. The pops are strongly tea flavored, with pops of lemon from the candied slices - so good! Candying your own fruit is fiddly, but it's worth it.
Natalie, surprisingly (or maybe not), decided she preferred her store bought pops. I don't know if she didn't like the flavor, or if the lemon slice freaked her out. I figured Sam would be the same - but minutes after I sat down with my own ice pop, she came running in to "trade" for her banana one - and ate the whole sweet tea pop, lemon slice and all! 2 out of 3 isn't bad! ;)
Ice pops are a perfect way to keep cool, and when you make your own, you're only limited by your imagination. Any combination of fruit, sweet, sour flavors will do - whatever your family likes! Orange cream is next on my list! Until then...sweet tea, anyone?

Fun new trick
"Wow, look at that right there. You had a big feeling and did exactly what you FELT like doing. Here's a crazy idea. Why don't you try a do-over and do the exact OPPOSITE of what you felt like doing ... ya' know ... just for fun."
It will get old. It won't last. But it sure is de-escalating a lot of crap today. YEA for fresh ideas.
This is one of my favorites, because pretty much every single day of therapeutic parenting I have to choose to do the complete opposite of what I feel like doing. We have talked about that today, in fact. How sometimes I want to scream (not just at my child, but at lots of people - some moments of life sure would be easier without all these darn people - lol). Yet, I do the opposite of what I feel like doing. I have yet to regret doing the opposite of what I want to do when experiencing a negative feeling or emotion.
FYI: just now this resulted in them smiling, taking a deep breath and saying, "Mom, I saw that the yarn had fallen into the laundry basket, but I did the laundry with it in there on purpose."
FYI PART DEUX: I found a smile and totally faked my joy over this accomplishment. I'm still reeling from the last few weeks (particularly the last seven days). This is what we call "Fake it Til You Make It." It's hard to just BOOM - have genuine loving feelings when you have been nit-picked to death for approximately 200+ hours straight. You do the opposite of what you feel.
Chock it up to one more tool in our arsenal, guys and gals. We are fighting a history, not our children. They didn't ask for it. We can do this.
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can ...

I'm so sorry things have been so rough in your part of the world. It bites big time when just when we think things are going ok and progress is being made, BAM - we get knocked back down again and have to start all over. It is so exhausting and so maddening and so frustrating. Wish I could run right over and give you a great big hug!
I'm SOOOO happy you're finding de-escalation with this trick! Seriously, I am. I've tried it about a million times without success. It is entirely possible (and likely) the implementation of it has been faulty on my part. But for whatever reason, my kids just don't get it. They don't get that there are valid reasons they shouldn't actually do whatever they feel like doing.
To help them understand, I attempt to tell them I don't feel like cooking dinner so I'm not going to and they freak. I've tried to make it an "opposite day" game. It lasted 5 minutes. If I ask them what would happen if I did whatever I felt like doing (screaming, pummeling them into next week, running away for more than just a weekend retreat, etc) they just egg me on and taunt me and seriously tempt me to do it and if I don't step out, it just becomes an ugly, messy, contentious negative feedback cycle.
So why don't I do what I feel like, Because I can't, not even a for a little bit, because then I might not be able to stop and I have a real aversion to being the lead story on the 10:00 news. "Crazy Adoptive Mom Locks Kid in Cave and Runs off to Jamaica With Hands Waving in Air"
Hopefully as you continue to use it, it will work better, not worse. But most of all, I hope things will settle down for you SOON!

Christine - do you know of any blogs written by kids (now adults) that lived through extreme trauma and were raised with therapeutic parenting from adoptive parents? I'd love to read some.

I tried it with MK years ago and whether it worked depended on how well I could disengage while using it. If I let any of my real feelings even dribble out, it didn't work. But that was me, unable to do the complete opposite of what I felt like.

I agree with Diana. My children must not yet be at a place where they can make any connection with the possibility of doing the opposite of what they feel like doing. "Doing whatever you feel at the moment" is just how you live life according to them. There is no other way. Everything I have done on my part to convince them has been frought with much frustration.

It's like everything else in the toolbox. Whip it out every six months or so. Any sooner, and you're not changing it up enough. They will smell it coming. Use it too much, and they build up a resistance. It's like a virus! lol

You are SO inspiring!
I heard a talk once about motherhood and it made such sense. Look at a baby; a baby is totally, 100% selfish. What we have to do as parents is bring that little person away from all that selfishness....teach her to think of others, do for others. Because the definition of MOTHERHOOD is often being 100% UNSELFISH. So, I think of therapeutic parenting (the sort you do, anyway!) as RADICAL HOLINESS! You named it; doing the unselfish, loving thing when we want with every fiber of our being to do the opposite.

Seriously, I wish I'd have had you around to read 5 years ago--back before we adopted our Dd. You could have spared all of us some trauma and post-traumatic stress stuff! We knew some about RAD, but not nearly enough. Had no clue what hit us the first couple of weeks--very shell-shocked. Her "honeymoon" period lasted all of about 24 hours and then the fat was in the fire--over in Russia! Don't even start me on how perfect strangers pouring love and sympathy on your RAD child makes it waaaayyyy worse . . . because they are just SURE mean American Mommy and Daddy don't know what's best for dear little princess . . . Bleech. After almost 3 weeks of that . . . it wasn't pretty. Now almost 5 years in, we are doing pretty good except for the frequent "dripping" of the raindrops so to speak . . . the small stuff that is bearable compared to what you used to live with . . . but it's awfully annoying still at times--and wearing. But we're getting there--she IS attaching and learning to trust and learning to love!
Hang in there . . . give yourself some "you-time"!

The Relax massage in Amsterdam will strengthen and tone muscle tissue, and leaving you restored body recharged and uplifted.
The Relax Massage can also be recognized as a Swedish Massage, where the treatment takes the focus on you in account, and not the symptoms or the part that has the problem.

Have you ever been broken by God? How important is brokenness in our spiritual journey with Jesus Christ? Today we're talking about wrestling with God as Jacob did in Genesis 32:24.
God often has to "dislocate our hip" through failure and disappointment. Sometimes it is the only way He can get our attention. Our nature to control and manipulate is so strong that it takes a catastrophic event to wake us up. Yet God did not reject Jacob for these character traits. In fact, God blessed him greatly because He saw something in Jacob that pleased Him. He saw a humble and contrite heart beneath the cold and manipulative exterior of Jacob's life, and it was that trait that God needed to develop. He did this by bringing about the crisis in Jacob's life that led to total consecration. This event was marked by Jacob getting a new name, Israel. For the first time, Jacob had a nature change, not just a habit change. What will God have to do in our lives to gain our complete consecration to His will and purposes?

Outsourcing backup: Get the right service level agreement
This podcast offers information on how to make sure that a SLA meets your needs and requirements with outsourcing backup.
What you will learn: This podcast offers information on how to make sure that a SLA meets your needs and requirements when outsourcing backup.
Getting the terms of your service level agreement (SLA) locked down is essential when outsourcing backup. You really need to make sure that your demands can be addressed before committing to an agreement with a service provider. And, you need to have it all in writing. Backups are worthless if you can't restore the data. If you are going to put your data in someone else's hands, you need to ensure that they can meet your recovery time objective (RTO) for restores.
This podcast discusses the pros and cons of outsourced backup, so you can decide if it is the right fit for your organization. It also outlines important elements to consider when negotiating your SLA, as well as essential things to consider about your own environment.
Some of the topics covered include:
- What are your data recovery needs? It's essential to be able to communicate your needs to the service provider.
- How fast can your data be restored? Question your service provider about its infrastructure and bandwidth.
- Do you have the proper hardware? If you suffer data loss due to a physical disaster, you need to have the proper hardware back in place before you can restore anything.
- What are the contractual obligations of the SLA? Be sure to negotiate strong penalties for missed deadlines. Think of it this way: A warranty on a jet engine is great, but if your engine dies at 50,000 feet, the warranty is meaningless.
- Does your service provider have a solid disaster recovery plan in place? We've all heard about the Iron Mountain fire. Be sure that your data is adequately protected. It's ultimately your responsibility.

SIENA, Italy, Oct 9 (Reuters) - The top shareholder in Italy's third biggest lender, Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena , said on Tuesday it would vote in favour of a capital increase of up to 1 billion euros in the next five years but hoped the cash call will not be necessary.
Gabriello Mancini, chairman of the charitable foundation that holds 34.9 percent of MPS, told a shareholder meeting he was confident the bank's management would work to reduce its capital needs.
Mancini said this would allow "to postpone or even cancel" the capital hike, which the bank is expected to launch by 2015 and which would open the door to new investors.
The extraordinary shareholder meeting is expected to approve the capital hike and changes to the bank's governance later on Tuesday.

Chapter 624 of the Laws of 2006 directed the Council on Children and Families to establish a Committee on Restraint and Crisis Intervention Techniques (RCIT Committee) to:
- identify the most effective, least restrictive and safest techniques for the modification of a child's behavior in response to an actual or perceived threat by the child of harm or bodily injury to the child or others;
- review models of crisis prevention and intervention, including the use of physical restraints; and
- establish uniform and coordinated standards giving preference to the least restrictive alternative for the use of such techniques.
This statute indicated that techniques shall include, but not be limited to the use of physical restraint, therapeutic crisis intervention, crisis management or such other de-escalation techniques designed to help staff assist children to manage crisis situations. As required by Chapter 624, the Committee includes designees of the commissioners of children and family services, mental health, mental retardation and developmental disabilities, education and health. Also included as committee members are representatives of statewide provider organizations; representatives of regional provider organizations that represent providers of educational and residential services to children; mental health professionals that provide direct care on a regular basis to children, and parent- and youth-representatives of children requiring special services.

Takeaway: In a typical IP address spoofing attempt, the attacker fakes the source of packets in order to appear as part of an internal network. David Davis tells you three ways you can make an attacker's life more difficult—and prevent IP address spoofing.
As you know, the Internet is rife with security threats, and one such threat is IP address spoofing. During a typical IP address spoofing attempt, the attacker simply fakes the source of packets in order to appear as part of an internal network. Let's discuss three ways you can protect your organization from this type of attack.
Block IP addresses
The first step in preventing spoofing is blocking IP addresses that pose a risk. While there can be a reason that an attacker might spoof any IP address, the most commonly spoofed IP addresses are private IP addresses (RFC 1918) and other types of shared/special IP addresses.
Here's a list of IP addresses—and their subnet masks—that I would block from coming into my network from the Internet:
* 10.0.0.0/8
* 172.16.0.0/12
* 192.168.0.0/16
* 127.0.0.0/8
* 184.108.40.206/3
* 169.254.0.0/16
All of the above are either private IP addresses that aren't routable on the Internet or used for other purposes and shouldn't be on the Internet at all. If traffic comes in with one of these IP addresses from the Internet, it must be fraudulent traffic.
In addition, other commonly spoofed IP addresses are whatever internal IP addresses your organization uses. If you're using all private IP addresses, your range should already fall into those listed above. However, if you're using your own range of public IP addresses, you need to add them to the list.
Implement ACLs
The easiest way to prevent spoofing is using an ingress filter on all Internet traffic. The filter drops any traffic with a source falling into the range of one of the IP networks listed above. In other words, create an access control list (ACL) to drop all inbound traffic with a source IP in the ranges above.
Here's a configuration example:
Router# conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# ip access-list ext ingress-antispoof
Router(config-ext-nacl)# deny ip 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any
Router(config-ext-nacl)# deny ip 172.16.0.0 0.15.255.255 any
Router(config-ext-nacl)# deny ip 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 any
Router(config-ext-nacl)# deny ip 127.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any
Router(config-ext-nacl)# deny ip 220.127.116.11 184.108.40.206 any
Router(config-ext-nacl)# deny ip 169.254.0.0 0.0.255.255 any
Router(config-ext-nacl)# permit ip any any
Router(config-ext-nacl)# exit
Router(config)#int s0/0
Router(config-if)#ip access-group ingress-antispoof in
Internet service providers (ISPs) must use filtering like this on their networks, as defined in RFC 2267. Notice how this ACL includes permit ip any any at the end. In the "real world," you would probably have a stateful firewall inside this router that protects your internal LAN.
Of course, you could take this to the extreme and filter all inbound traffic from other subnets in your internal network to make sure that someone isn't on one subnet and spoofing traffic to another network. You could also implement egress ACLs to prevent users on your network from spoofing IP addresses from other networks. Keep in mind that this should be just one part of your overall network security strategy.
Use reverse path forwarding (ip verify)
Another way to protect your network from IP address spoofing is reverse path forwarding (RPF)—or ip verify. In the Cisco IOS, the commands for reverse path forwarding begin with ip verify.
RPF works much like part of an anti-spam solution. That part receives inbound e-mail messages, takes the source e-mail address, and performs a recipient lookup on the sending server to determine if the sender really exists on the server the message came from. If the sender doesn't exist, the server drops the e-mail message because there's no way to reply to the message—and it's very likely spam.
RPF does something similar with packets. It takes the source IP address of a packet received from the Internet and looks up to see if the router has a route in its routing table to reply to that packet. If there's no route in the routing table for a response to return to the source IP, then someone likely spoofed the packet, and the router drops the packet.
Here's how to configure RPF on your router:
Router(config)# ip cef
Router(config)# int serial0/0
Router(config-if)# ip verify unicast reverse-path
Note that this won't work on a multi-homed network.
It's important to protect your private network from attackers on the Internet. These three methods can go a long way toward protecting against IP address spoofing.

Stack them on top of each other, then cut up the middle. Hold on to the tightly because they try to move around a bit. Set the right side apart, we'll work with the left wings first.
Your piles should now look something like this:
Now it's time to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. I used some glue dots I already had for scrap booking. They're the kind that roll on and they worked beautifully, but a spray adhesive might also be a good choice. Basically you just take the top layer from each pile and glue them onto the card. If your cuts, like mine, were not exactly perfect, then Madame Butterfly might look something like this. Make sure as you're gluing the pieces on the card that the outside edges match up. Don't worry about the middle quite as much because we're going to cover that up. Here's what you'll have now:
Then use some scrap pieces to cut out an oblong body for the butterfly. I also glued a little button head on her because I think everything is cuter with buttons!

Netflix to Revive Arrested Development in Early 2013
Cult classic Arrested Development is returning as an exclusive Netflix production, according to reports. The critically acclaimed television series ran on Fox for three seasons before poor ratings forced its cancellation.
Ron Howard, the series' executive producer and narrator, told Entertainment Weekly Friday that he's "dying to finally get back to the narrator's microphone." Netflix will begin offering Arrested Development to customers through its DVD delivery and online video streaming services beginning in the first half of 2013, according to reports.
Netflix recently picked up BBC dram House of Cards for an exclusive run planned for 2012. The company outbid Showtime and possible Hulu to land Arrested Development, according to Entertainment Weekly.
"Of all the projects we've been involved with over the years, we probably get more questions about Mitch Hurtwitz's brilliant Arrested Development than any other," Howard told EW.com. [E]veryone, ourselves included, seems to feel like the Bluths left the party a bit too soon. Bringing a series back from cancellation almost never happens, but then, Arrested always was about as unconventional as they get, so it seems totally appropriate that this show that broke the mold is smashing it to pieces once again."
The series, which originally aired between 2003 and 2006, revolves around the formerly wealthy, dysfunctional Bluth family. The firt run of Arrested Development featured such actors as Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Alia Shawkat, Jeffrey Tambor, Portia de Rossi, Will Arnett, Tony Hale, and David Cross, with smaller recurring parts played by the likes of Amy Poehler, Liza Minnelli, and Henry Winkler.
It's not clear who among that list will return for the Netflix series.
"[N]o contracts have been finalized," according to Entertainment Weekly, though "previous statements by the producers and cast indicate that everybody is, in theory, on board."
Of course, Howard is one cast member who's definitely returning for the 2013 Netflix run.
"Gotta warm up my throat and start practicing," he tweeted Friday.
