Georgia demands clarification from U.S. regarding financing for preparation of unrest. The United States needs to provide clarification on the issue of funding by the Agency for International Development, USAID, for training in Georgia with the participation of Serbia citizens who prepared the residents of the Republic for the overthrow of the government in 2023. The chairman of the ruling Georgian Dream Democratic-Georgia Party, Irakli Kobakidzi, said, It turns out the overthrow of the government is financed by the United States Agency for International Development, which is called USAID, which means U.S. assistance, but this is not assistance from the United States, it seems to me. Of course, we will need clarification on this. Why did USAID fund such training, the direct purpose of which was to prepare a revolution in Georgia? Kobakidzi said at a press briefing, Speaking of the Georgian parliament, Shalva Papuashvili called information about USAID financing of revolutionary processes in the Republic a dark day in the history of American assistance provided to Georgia. This marks a dark day in the history of USAID to Georgia. As we see, the money of the American people is used here to plan some kind of revolutionary process in order to purposefully prepare people for unrest and provocation of violence. It's a shame that the American people's money is involved in this, he told reporters. In a statement released by the state security service of Georgia, said three Serbian trainers who were brought to Georgia to participate in a program funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development were actively recruiting activists with the intent of orchestrating the violent overthrow of Georgia's lawfully elected government. State Security Service of Georgia said these trainers are affiliated with the Center for Applied Non-Violent Actions and Strategies. State Security Service of Georgia stated that on September 25, 2023, Serbian citizens Sinisa Sikman, Jelina Stosik and Slobodan Djinovic arrived in Georgia at the invitation of the East West Management Institute, which the USAID funds.


done all the research so you don't have to. So Jim you're gonna give us a player from each salary tier that we should get into our lineups. Who's on your list this week? Yeah, I agree with you guys that the Steelers are probably in a good spot for this week. But from a fantasy perspective, the Browns are just so much more friendly for fantasy because the usage is more concentrated. So I like Baker Mayfield. It's been a bad year for him so far this year. But a lot of that is due to bad touchdown luck. He's had multiple touchdowns and only one game this year and that happened to be last week. But they've significantly cut down on Baker's time to throw, which is good to get the ball out of his hand faster. That'll be a key this week. So Baker, I think, makes sense at 15 five. I also think Nick Chubb is in a good spot. We did see cream hunts make his debut last week. But even in that Nick Chubb snap rate actually went up. He was around 60% the previous two games. He was at 80% last week. 20 carries and four targets. He ran 27 routes in that game. So Nick Chubb is still a really good fantasy asset as a home favorite. I think that he makes a lot of sense here. Also Odell Beckham, just from a salary perspective, getting him at 11 five in this game, I think is really intriguing because yes, they have cut down Baker's time to throw. That means fewer deep throws. But even in that time Beckham is still getting two or three deep targets per game. He has a 25% target share in this four game sample. I think both he and Jarvis Landry are very good options. Beckham's cheaper 11 five. So I'm going to take him as far as a value play on the Steelers side. I really do like Deontay Johnson. It was James Washington who had a long touchdown last week. But Johnson has had the more consistent role. He played 72% of the snaps last week, whereas Washington was at 50%. Johnson has at least six targets in 64 yards in two or three games since Rudolph came back. So I think Deontay Johnson at $8,500 really does make sense. And then also I don't mind Vance McDonald at $7,500 is another cheap value play on the Steelers side. All right, Jim, thanks. Always appreciate your research and insight. You can get more of Jim's information on his podcasts. It's called the Heat Check fantasy podcast is available every Monday and Thursday on the number fire daily fantasy podcast feed.


Oh, no, no, I broke it off and it fell inside. I hate that whatever We're not even halfway through the flavors yet, so I'm back with yet another smash stage Review it's been a little while since I did this last and I had you guys send me your submissions on my subreddit and on Discord and I haven't honestly looked at any of them yet other than the first couple that I can see on my screen Thank you to everyone that went out of that way to make stuff for the show.

That's smash. It's full really good job. That is an a triple plus I don't even want to put this code in I already know what the thumbnail is gonna be. That's the thumbnail No, I think I was too late maybe Nintendo got to it. I got removed It's so good though that must have taken so long Nintendo come on. It wasn't that bad. I still want to clickbait it though Beat him up carefully. It does not look good, but at the same time. That's what's making this amazing It kind of goes around like my hair does when I Be plus but in my heart It's an a-plus this looks like the thumbnails that I make when I do though I'm addicted to this game great job a-plus.  That's funny You know, it's simple, but I really like when people do these creative like pixel by pixel art of characters It looks really good. Oh This is interesting. It is pimple. You've made pimple. That's that's really cool Evil beat em ups. It's not supposed to be my hands Like what is wrong with my hands if that is my hands and why like why am I evil? I do not understand what's why my crab claws are going up and down like that. Thanks Thanks, anyway, I appreciate it a lot. I'm just really confused as to what I'm looking at I guess if Nintendo won't put in home run contest. We'll just have to make it ourselves and stage builder I kind of wish you had started the players up here because then you could really Just start knocking the player around. Okay. No It doesn't count. Let me try again. Let's go Hey, you can't come back. That's cheating most about this one Is that when he shed it to reddit? He titled it just end all of it. I feel your pain, man I feel I'll take a look at the discord and see if anyone shared different stuff there I love the chip going in and out. I mean, it's it's cartoonishly charming. I really like it This is making me hungry now. I need to go and get some It's just like the game look at that. Oh Man, that's good. Benito corn chips. I like I love them man. I love them This is probably a bad breakfast. It's the first thing I've eaten today. It's so good. I hate trying to dip comes Oh, no, I spilled guac juice since when does guac have juice? That's so good that might be my favorite one. Ah, man, it is incredible You know that wait wait a second. That is it. It's for my banner.  Thank you. I like it. Oh and the platforms red and blue like the joy cons. That's really clever It's another one of those it's so bad. It's good like it's it's I can't tell if I love it for all the right reasons Or all the wrong reasons. Oh Here's a cool one. So in the last stage review I did we had a serial guy that looked incredible And now someone's made that guy sitting at table with disappointed face I'm not sure what his meme name is, but that's really good as well And then we also have another one that someone made The poker face guy with the shrugging. Oh, and they're both by the same guy Kevin the creator Oh, that reminds me actually while I'm on my discord a user by the name of squirrel master 17 Had an idea that we hold a competition to see who could make the best emojis for my discord server So I'm gonna give away a switch game. I haven't decided yet. I'm already giving away dragon's dogma Which you can find links to down below. I'll host it on my discord So if you're feeling creative and you want to make some emojis, yeah, we'll figure it out I don't I don't oh man. How many of these did you make Kevin? He's going up and down All right around those eyes are creepy. I don't like it. I don't like it. Oh That's awesome That's almost at like that sonic level of quality You could really like hide like platforms in these like colors that come straight out and then you can play in and around Mario Okay, there are so many more stages. Oh Someone made the bang Someone made me opening the bang energy drink That's so good. That's so good. It's like it's specifically that moment And I think it's at some point in the creation process that create a towel Mudge just decided that I'm just gonna make his face spin around for no reason. That's good. Thank you a plus It's hilarious Before I end this I want to once again really quickly check just the popular page and see what's new. Oh Whoa, that one is intense. Holy moly that one is fantastic That might be just from an artistic standpoint and what they've done with the creative tool That might be my favorite one. We got a cool sands got a cool cheese touch My honest reaction to that was just a heavy sigh See now, how is Luigi's thick getting removed, but I can play on pyra's boobs right now, but I Guess I guess really you can't fault the creator or really even remove it because Pyra's boobs in the game itself are Ridiculously huge like if anything that's just an honest creation if anything they were modest with the size that one's called Uno reverse is cool. Someone made a Super Mario world. Oh, what the hey, man? That is incredible Oh the Nintendo 64 logo. Oh, man, that one looks great Okay, not only am I gonna have to come back and look at more of the creator stages you guys made But I'm gonna have to come back and look at the popular stages again because I've actually filtered through quite a lot of That is disgusting. I'm gonna have to pixelate that I Don't know if you guys can even tell what that is, but I think that's a good place to end the video wait There's a coke and Mentos No Please have it like do a thing You can't have coke and Mentos as a level and not have them in a rack And it would have been so easy to do.

Hello everyone. My name is Staff Sergeant Martia Timiny. I am the Sixth Marine Corps District Musician Technical Assistant. I represent one out of over 800 Marines located across the southeast region of this country. On behalf of Sixth Marine Corps District, as well as the Marine Music Program, we are proud to be sponsors for the ramp experience this year. During the past two years, Marine musicians all over this country, as well as overseas, have been able to provide support directly to their music programs in their communities. Such types of support have also included virtual webinars, master classes, private lessons, or other sorts of specified media materials needed for those educators at both the high school and middle school levels. Another type of support provided to our local communities can be through our dermal acquisition. What that means for you as an educator is if you would like access to instruments that have been procured by the Marine Corps, all you would need to do is reach out to your local musician technical assistant or one of your local Marine Corps bands in order to acquire that inventory. My fellow Marine musician technical assistants and I have been able to provide and produce webinars as needed for educators within our regions. These webinars can consist of anything that the educators would like to focus on to include instrument specific master classes, one-on-one instruction with some of your students, full concert band critiques, solo and ensemble adjudication, audition advice, or specified discussions covering over career options within the Marine Corps, how to become a Marine musician, or for advice for those who are going on to collegiate level programs. When it comes to the beginning of our musician careers, we all start off on the same path, usually with beginning band in either fifth or sixth grade. Across that time, some of us are afforded the opportunities to take private instruction or attend certain master classes, camps, clinics as needed. As you continue your schooling across the years, once you get to your senior year of high school, you are faced with that first juncture to continue on to college or continue a professional path. For those younger applicants who would like to begin their music careers straight out of high school, you can audition, qualify and earn a position within the Marine Music Program.  A majority of our Marine musicians have enlisted after completing at least a bachelor's degree and some of them even have some professional level experience to include performing with other professional music groups or by teaching. As a Marine musician, we perform anywhere from 350 to 450 performances each year. Those performances include ensembles such as the wind ensemble, ceremonial marching band, brass quintet, New Orleans style brass band, jazz combo, big band, woodwind quintet or any other various ensembles needed to accomplish a specific mission. We also engage with a lot of community relations and recruiting efforts in order to continue serving those communities that we live in. With our participation in the Ramp Experience, the Marines of both 6 Marine Court District as well as the Marine Music Program hope to provide additional resources to all the music educators located across the state of Mississippi. Through the vehicle of music education and music performance, it is the goal that all of our students recognize their own potential and their capabilities to become leaders in their communities and hopefully even leaders within the United States Marine Corps. We hope to continue this partnership for years to come with the Ramp Experience, the music educators and influencers all across the state of Mississippi as well as 6 Marine Court District. Again, my name is Staff Sergeant Martia Temani and thank you all for your time. Semper Fidelis.


This is Mises Weekends with your host Jeff Dice. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back once again to Mises Weekends. We have a very special guest this weekend, Jake Lindsey, most recently with a free agent with the Buffalo Bills in the NFL looking for his next NFL gig. And unlike a lot of NFL players, an alumnus of Harvard University, but more importantly for our purposes, a dedicated Austrian economist and someone who's a big fan of both Mises and Rothbard. So that's how we came to know a little bit about Jake with that. Welcome, Jake. How are you doing? I'm doing well. Thanks for having me on. Well, I got to get a little background from you. You have to indulge me. So you're a young guy playing presumably high school football in Ohio, the Cincinnati area. Did you already have an interest in playing college ball and did you already have an interest in economics? My senior year, that's the first exposure to economics that we had. I really enjoyed the class. It wasn't a traditional economics class like you would get in college. He was a fun teacher. So that was how that started. And then I was looking to play football. After my junior year, I was getting recruited.  So that's how all that all got started, yeah. Were you thrilled when you ultimately ended up going to Harvard? Yeah, when they came knocking, it's tough from my background to turn down a school like Harvard. I mean, from very modest means. And when a school like that comes knocking and you have that type of opportunity to kind of change your whole trajectory in life. And thanks for your family like that. I had a great opportunity to take and I did that. And I'm here right now trying to play in the NFL and trying to make that work. But if it doesn't work out, I have a diploma from Harvard. Well, absolutely. Talk a little bit about playing at Harvard. Do you feel like or do Harvard players generally feel like it's difficult to get NFL attention in a smaller conference and that they have to be twice as good or be a dominant Ivy League player to get noticed by the NFL? Yeah, you definitely have to be a dominant Ivy League player. There have been guys in the past few years that have been kind of trailblazers for the rest of us. I think this preseason we had maybe 12 or 13 graduates that had been on NFL rosters on their 90 man rosters and training camps. So there's definitely a few guys out there. Some bigger names are Fitzpatrick. Cal Youscek was a few years older than me. He signed a big contract out in San Fran. So there's definitely guys that have made a name for Harvard and they're trying to continue that tradition of pumping guys out into the league. Well, so we're speaking to you from down here in SEC country in Auburn. But I really like your quote. You were interviewed by the Harvard Crimson. I really like your quote about being a mere mortal while playing college football. Sometimes in the SEC we feel like the concept of student athlete is a little strained. I mean, let's be honest. Do you feel like major college football is out of control to an extent that it's become too big, too much money, the TV contracts? Has it become unhealthy? Personally, I think it's getting very bloated. There's so much money involved and there's a lot of give and take between players and universities and there's now settlements for costs of attendance. Guys are getting not off the books getting paid to play but there's a lot of money involved to the point where it's corrupting a lot of things and these guys are coming out with very big egos and you're losing sight of the education where you've got to play football but you've got to prepare yourself if that doesn't work out as well. So you're kind of setting these guys up to have a tough time transitioning out of it. Well, and I don't want to get you in trouble with any of your potential future employers A lot of the major college programs are state universities, taxpayer funded. I understand that football brings in revenue but they are state funded and the NFL doesn't have to pay for its own farm system in effect. In other words, these young men are putting their bodies on the line. They're playing, I'm sure there's steroid use in major college football. They can be injured. A lot of them are not getting a particularly solid education whether that's their fault or not. But the kind of dirty little secret here is that the NFL owners have this free farm system. Yeah, I don't know how long the system will last the way it is. It seems like a lot of cracks in the foundation but as long as people keep going to games and keep paying forward, I think it's going to continue. But with state education and state funding, how the internet is affecting college or will affect college, you may see a major restructuring of how the system works. Well, so you're at Harvard. I can imagine it must have been super rigorous to deal with your studies. You've got to learn the defensive scheme or whatever at Harvard. You've got to go to class. You've got to take tests. Is a Harvard athlete's life very different from an SEC athlete's life? I can't speak for the SEC athlete. I can't speak for the Harvard athlete. It's probably not too much different than the normal athlete. You have tough weeks during midterms when papers are due. But in season, you're going to have to schedule around that. You know that going in, you have realistically 30, 35 hours to devote to football, which is 15 more than you're allowed to put in. And that's all voluntary. It's definitely difficult to deal with that. And more than anything else, it's a very competitive environment academically. So you're going up against very, very bright students in the classroom. And also you're going up against very competitive athletes on the field. Skill-wise, there's a wide range. Obviously, there's very good players that come out of the Ivy League. But regardless of the level of skill, you're going to get 110% out of really everyone every day. Just because of the nature of that student athlete. You've got highly competitive guys in Al's. Now, did you know that you wanted a major in econ? And how or when did you become exposed to people like Mises and Rothbard? I did go in. Because going in the Ivy League, I was like, you know what, engineering might be a tall task for me to take on football. And I was from a business background. I have a family, small business here that I help with in the off season and the summer times over over college. But I wanted to go into econ really from the get-go. And what triggered it all was the whole Occupy movement. So there was a big protest on campus. They had to shut down the yard. You know, you'd use your ID to get through there. So when all that was going on, it was Peter Schiff through Facebook. He went in to the Occupy Wall Street movement and was interviewing these people. So he really caught my attention there. And from then, I listened to his, I think at that time he had a, the daily radio show. So sometimes Tom Woods would fill in from there all kind of spiraled. He was involved with following Dr. Paul's presidential campaign in 2012, kind of 2011 and 2012. Started reading Louis Rockwell, Mises Daily. I get the emails. I still subscribe and read EPJ with Robert Wenzel. So all of these people that are kind of affiliated with the movement kind of became part of my daily life. Wow. So did you have fairly left wing professors? Did you have standard like Samuelson textbook for your, for your undergrad classes? So the first one was Mankyu. That's a big one. Yeah. He wrote, he writes the textbook and comes out with one every year, year and a half, a new one. So that was my first exposure to, I guess, mainstream economists. I had Larry Summers. He was a professor and one of the courses. Wow. Fine Stein, Martin Feldstein. Martin Feldstein, he taught with Summers in that class. So there are definitely Neocainsians. Yeah. Yeah. They're definitely not Austrian. I think the closest you would get was Jeffrey Myron, who I think is affiliated with the Cato Institute. He taught a class that was a libertarian approach to economics, but I was reading the syllabus and no Mises or Rothbard. So that was kind of disappointing. But that's still, I mean, what a great opportunity for you to have a class with Larry Summers, a treasury secretary. I mean, that's the kind of thing you can't do at University of Cincinnati, let's say. No, no. So that's fantastic. So you were kind of developing Austrian or libertarian ideology as you made your way through undergrad. Yeah, that's true. So going through that, it was kind of challenging for me to develop as an Austrian while being in that environment.   I would try to go through Mises.org and read an article on whatever subject we were talking about and understand the Austrian approach to that. So that was how I started developing. You know, I haven't dug in the human action or man economy in state yet, but I look forward to doing that. Well, in between getting through Harvard and playing football, those 900 page books are pretty tough. Yeah, yeah. But, you know, you should absolutely, you'll love human action. I'm sure you're a very bright young guy. So you'll love man economy in state. Have you had any chance to proselytize it all with any of your fellow players on the team, you know, now in the NFL or previously at Harvard? Yeah, I would kind of, freshman year, I was very vocal, but I don't think I was in the, you know, the Ann Cap Libertarian state I am now. So I was kind of known for popping off with a lot of very politically charged comments. But as we got older, I became to understand the philosophy a little bit better. And I had, I think, more mature conversations with my peers. And yeah, there were definitely plenty of links sent to Mises.org, Lou Rockwell, and actually the other day I was telling a fellow, Harvard Crimson, about this interview and I sent him the link. So definitely, definitely got the name out and that's what I've been working to do, especially with the interview I had with the Bills in that little player bio. And I, you know, made the National Rothbard to hopefully get the word out for liberty. Well, your typical NFL player is an independent contractor, may or may not have a long-term contract. It seems like a perfect audience. We've spoken with Glenn Jacobs in the past who has a character, the professional wrestler, Cain. And he talked about his ability to talk to people who are independent contractors who really see all of those taxes, for example, coming out of their paycheck, who really understand labor and capital and other things in a more direct way. So I bet some of those NFL guys are noticing that those estimated tax payments they're sending in are pretty big. Yeah, there had been some conversations in the last few months about guys and taxes and the market and things like that. And I definitely suspect there's a lot of sympathy towards, amongst them, towards the Austrian point of view. And they are potentially someone you could have on board as you educate them further. Well, so what's next for you? The NFL is a rough and tough place. It's a pretty merciless place. Is this what you want to do in life? Yeah, I'd like to take a few more months to let everything play out. It's obviously a long season. It's a very violent camp. So injuries occur, spots open up on practice squads, and you never know what will happen. But going forward, I'd like to continue with this for a few more months. It doesn't work out this year that I'm going to sit down with my family and with my agent and try to discuss options. And if it doesn't look like it's a good idea going forward, I might hang it up. But right now, I'm 100% in and I'm looking to get picked up again. And preferably, would linebacker be your preferred position? Yeah, I think I'm a linebacker. Yeah. Now, last question for you. What are some of the kinds of things you might like to do outside of football in terms of career? I want to get involved in finance, investing, potentially real estate. I follow the markets and things like that. So those are the first things I'd probably delve into and try to gain some experience in. Well, Jake Lindsey, we appreciate your time. We love that you're a member of the Mesa Institute. We'll be watching how things go for you in the NFL or otherwise. We wish you all the best and thanks very much. Keep up the good work. Have a great weekend.

I'm really loving writing the Digital Kotar blog for work. I think it's starting to catch on. You're writing a blog? Yes. I told you about it. I post it to my Facebook. I tweet it. I even sent you an email about it. Oh. I must have missed it. What's it about? Anything technology related. Social media, web design, new apps, Google, Facebook. All that cool stuff. Sounds boring. No, it's not boring at all. I have blogged about Foursquare, Google TV, Meetup, Open Source, Creative Commons, the iPad, Conflict Minerals and the Internet of Things. I would read it if you wrote about Lady Gaga. Visit DigitalKotar.net to read about Lady Gaga.


Joining me now is Venugopal Pai, who is VP of Global Alliances with Riverbed. Welcome to theCUBE. Thank you, Stu, and we're glad to be here. Thanks, great, so as I said, we're talking at a storage conference here, but cloud computing and virtualization are obviously huge pieces of what are going on, so can you tell us a little bit about how Riverbed fits into the ecosystem? Absolutely, thanks Stu. So Riverbed, as a company, has been focused on helping customers to start infrastructure, pull data from branch offices into their private cloud. So we've been doing it for quite a few years. What used to be a consolidation is now building a private cloud. So a lot of our customers, over the last few years, in order to save money and to really build efficiency, have now consolidated into the data center. We've helped them move and transition them into that format. As customers are transitioning into the cloud, into whether it's a private cloud or a public cloud or a hybrid cloud, the network tends to be an increasingly important piece because now you're sending more data over both the public internet and your private internet and we tend to become some of the key enablers of customers making that transition into the cloud. Yeah, so I think back, I first know of Riverbed as really kind of WAN technology, replication type solutions, and as the massive amounts of data keep growing and bandwidth is growing, but not typically not quite as fast as the data is growing. So, how are things really changing in kind of the WAN space and what you're doing for cloud computing versus that traditional replication? Absolutely, so from a WAN perspective, if you look at all the data not traversing the WAN, whether you're coming over a mobile device, whether you're from a branch office, or whether you're coming from enterprise data center, irrespective of that, anytime you leave your office, the data's going over a WAN link, right? And as customers are getting more global, the data now tends to be decentralized from an access perspective, but centralized from a CIO perspective. And so the quagmire is how do you now breach the two gaps in terms of delivering performance for users irrespective of where they are, but still allow customers to enable consolidation from a cloud computing perspective. And so WAN optimization has evolved from being a branch office play, but become increasingly more relevant when people talk about cloud is because now the disparity of distance and latency becomes more of a factor, both from a performance perspective and from a bandwidth perspective. So as you're now pushing more data down a single link, you have a choice of upgrading bandwidth because you're not pushing more data down or using WAN optimization to minimize the impact of bandwidth on the applications and minimize the impact of latency on performance of these applications from a cloud computing perspective. Okay, so when I listened to EMC talking about cloud, last year was all about the journey to the private cloud. This year it seems to be hybrid cloud and also we have more of the public cloud offerings. So where does Riverbid fit for kind of the hybrid and the public cloud? I saw that you had a partnership with Atmos. Which piece of the cloud do you fit into? Absolutely, so from a product perspective, we've made significant forays into evolving our product both from a virtualization perspective and from a public hybrid cloud perspective. So a couple of things come to mind. We launched a product called Whitewater because as customers start flowing into looking at taking advantage of cloud storage from a public cloud perspective, we've enabled our Whitewater product to write to the EMC Atmos platform. So by writing to the rest API at the back end, we're able to help customers take the backup software, bake a backup stream and send it automatically into the EMC Atmos cloud today delivered by AT&T, for example. So that's a clear leverage of how we are taking our technology and helping customers migrate to a cloud-based architecture. The second thing we've done is we made an announcement today with Akamai. So as customers look at enabling the hybrid cloud, when they're now sending data what used to be just over the private internet, but now going to the public internet for a SaaS-based application or a data center that is now managed by a service provider, they actually, the public internet now maybe impays the performance or they need to now address the performance issues going to the public internet. So the partners with Akamai is to enable the hybrid cloud where a riverbed will address a lot of the performance and latency issue that comes with ban optimization. And Akamai as a partner brings in a lot of the networking resiliency and network intelligence they bring in from the CDN technology. So the partnership is really to help customers take advantage of moving to hybrid cloud architecture. So, Pai, you talked a little bit about partnerships there. I'm curious, how do you find yourself going to market these days? If I remember correct, you're an EMC select partner. That's correct. They're service providers. I mean, who do you find people buying from? Who's the trusted advisor? And how much are you selling direct versus going through partners or being bundled into the solution? So we've always been a channel-based company. So we've always sold through partners. So that's been the DNA of our company right from the beginning of the beginning. So over 95% of our business goes through channel partners, right? And as the business has grown from 2004, we're a $2 million company. We closed last year. We closed for $552 million in revenue. So we've grown dramatically and so our partner model has matured as well. So over the last couple of years, service providers have become an increasingly important channel for us in terms of delivering products, both as a channel and as a managed service. So a lot of service providers deliver a riverbed, both as part of customers buying, networking as a service provider, and buying bandwidth with WAN optimization. EMC has become a partner for the last two and a half years. We're an EMC select partner and we announced today where EMC typically were selling only three of our entire product portfolio, which at the high end was focused on high end replication. What we announced today is now EMC has the access to our entire product line, both for WAN optimization, for branch office consolidation, and for replication. So the EMC partnership continues to evolve and continues to mature besides doing some very unique technology things, unique and specific for EMC protocols. Great, so how does Riverbed find themselves differentiating against just having your functionality be a feature built into general networking products or the other WAN optimizations? As you said, if you're all through the channel, how do you keep your brand? How do you get known and where do you find yourself differentiating yourself? Absolutely, so from a market share perspective, we've had the luxury of having, we have a 44% market share, right? So that continues to grow on a year by year basis. So that really creates a brand and awareness of who Riverbed is in terms of a market leadership from a technology perspective. What we've done from an EMC partnership is really, we're not just about networking at layer two, layer three, we focus on layer four through seven, right? Really bring application level awareness to protocols. So for example, with EMC, we worked at the EMC SRDFA engineering team for quite a few years. So what we've done is not just look at it as a protocol, but really understand how the protocol works. So for example, if you're using SRDFA, we can automatically turn off compression, optimize the traffic across, and turn on compression to the other side. So from an EMC perspective, there's nothing you have to do to enable or disable compression. At the SRDFA, RDF groups, we're actually able to prioritize different groups so that you can choose which traffic is most important to you. So we're really bringing network intelligence to storage and trying to bring storage intelligence into the network to bring conversion networking, both for cloud and for enterprise customers. Great, so when I think about all the different pieces that make up the network, management and security are really the top two challenges people talk about when they talk about cloud computing. So how does Riverbed help solve that issue? So from a management perspective, we have customers that have over a thousand appliances in a single network, right? And many of them now have the onus of managing these different applications, managing these appliances, be it software or hardware. So we have the central management console that is able to manage all of these instances of a software and be able to upload or download new versions of the software. On the other hand, we also integrate with high-level management platforms, be it an EMC smart, be it an HP OpenView or a Tivoli Netcool. So vCenter? And vCenter as well. So vCenter, one of the things we have is we have the ability to run virtual VMware inside our appliances for the branch office, right? So today, we're able to now enable customers to now manage all of those instances using VMware technology. Okay, great. Yeah, so when you look at this year, what's the big objective for Riverbed from an alliance standpoint, partnerships? What are the big shows you're going at? What messages are you trying to get across? So great question. So this week is a big, big for Riverbed because today we have EMC world down here as well as interop. So both are very big for Riverbed. So from an alliance perspective, EMC is a very important partner of ours. Microsoft TechEd is the following week. So we continue to invest in Microsoft technology because customers use us to optimize Microsoft applications. SAP is a partner. And so we continue to look at applications and application optimization, both from applications as an enterprise application, storage traffic with EMC and all the different EMC forums we attend. And also as cloud events come into play, all the cloud computing events that we attend with. So if you look at interop, cloud computing is a big, big factor of that. So the announcement with Akamai, the EMC partnership around cloud and white water are all big, big forays into how we can help customers make the transition. Yeah. Have you been over to interop yet? Not yet. That's my plan this evening. So I'm going tomorrow and I'm curious, have you had a chance to kind of look at, what do you think of EMC's cloud messaging versus the industry as a whole? I think EMC's cloud messaging is right on point in terms of how customers are now looking at consolidation and trying to centralize all the content from a CI to save money. And what we do to help customers make the transition is very complementary in terms of our EMC partnership, right? So as EMC makes and helps the customers move to a cloud-based architecture, our technology in helping customers make the transition, enabling them at a global level to centralize, consolidate and virtualize the architecture from right from the branch office all the way into the data center is a very, very sound approach that we think EMC will be doing great with. So I'm curious, for those of us that have been in the industry for a while and especially working on WAN and networking, how much of this is kind of evolutionary from what we've been doing for the last few years versus really transformational? I mean, cloud is supposed to be the next big wave like the internet. How much of that is reality versus, what's the opportunity here? So we are seeing customers in varying factors. A lot of enterprises that we talk to are definitely making a transition and putting in blueprints and architectures and frameworks on how they could make that transition. Obviously, there's a lot of questions they ask about security and compliance and data replication and things like that. So all those questions we continue to address, but we're seeing customers definitely making a strong move into taking advantage of cloud, be it private or public. So with private clouds about consolidation, virtualization, elastic computing, public cloud is how can I now build efficiency with public applications? For example, software as a service or platforms as a service. With our products like Whitewall, with our products, virtual stealer, cloud stealer technology, as customers make the transition, we want to make sure that WAN doesn't tend to be a limiting factor in making that transition into cloud computing. And excellent. So here at the show, is Riverbed giving presentations? Are you part of any of the labs that are going on? Or how do people find out more about your product? So we actually have two presentations today, one at 1245 down at the Solutions Center on IMC Select, and then one at the Solutions Theater. So we have two presentations, one at three o'clock and one at noon. So I hope everybody that is listening can come down and listen to more of what we have to say. Excellent. And I see Riverbed.com's your website if people are trying to find. Yes, so Riverbed.com has a lot of the latest information as well as all the products that we talked about here. Okay, great. So I think we're about wrapping up on this segment. Pai, I really appreciate you coming into theCUBE, learning about how, you know, networking's going into cloud computing, service providers, good partnership, growing with EMC, all the different channels there. So thanks so much for joining us. Thank you Stu for the opportunity.


I've got another four messages last night saying the same kind of thing making fun of me for losing my dad saying horrible things about my mum saying they're going to beat me up at school. It's been going on for a while now and I don't really know to talk to about it and I don't want to bother mum because she's got enough to worry about without worrying about me every time I go on Facebook but it's still really tough.  There's got to be a way to stop it. Everyone can't just be allowed to post whatever they want online, send me messages about anything. I've tried blocking people but they just make new names, post under a disguise. People worry about curbing freedom of speech but should people be able to post anything they want to say online even when we know it could be seen as hurtful or abusive.


Generally speaking I have great interactions with people about my prosthetic leg. This was not one of them. This gal who I do not know comes up to me very excitedly staring at my leg, cleansed up at me and goes, I've always wanted to touch one of these, as she reaches for and starts feeling up my prosthetic leg. Don't do this. This is one of the most uncomfortable interactions I've ever had because A, I was not treated like a human, but like a marvel and a curiosity and also this is a part of my body. Don't just go touching people and feeling up their legs without asking permission first. 99% of the time people are great, they're curious, they ask questions, I'll answer them. But yeah, this was an excellent example of what to never do. So uncomfortable.


If you watch Common Ground Online, consider becoming a member or making a donation at lptv.org. When children are involved in a garden program like this year after year, I see leadership skills being developed within these kids and also confidence. And I know how to do this. And then those children that develop those leadership skills are then mentoring the younger kids who are coming into the program. And our goal is to keep that flow going well until kids are into adulthood and know how to grow their own food and share their own food. This is also about access. It's providing an opportunity to children that might not already have that opportunity. It takes a lot of effort to have a garden and a lot of time and a lot of patience. Well, my favorite part of the garden is because you feel really, really proud once you know you helped plant something and I like how you help get food so you can help the community. Yeah, like you make friends too and you have lots of laughs. My name is Andrea Onsted. I'm the executive director of the Boys and Girls Club of the Bemidji area. My name is Deb Dilley and I'm a SNAPEd educator with the University of Minnesota Extension. I work in the health and nutrition program. I teach nutrition to a lot of fourth and fifth grade students throughout Beltrami County and I'm the garden manager for the Boys and Girls Club. She is invaluable. She has so much experience and expertise and she knows how to work with kids. Eleven years ago when I came to the Boys and Girls Club and approached them with the idea of what do you think about having a garden? Well, we can try this and we built one single raised bed behind the club and we decided to title it a pizza garden. And so it was one raised bed that had like tomatoes and green peppers so that they could make pizza from those vegetables. Well, it went pretty well. So we continued year after year after year adding another garden bed up until we got to, I think, nine or ten raised garden beds behind the club. At that point, the program seemed to be going pretty well. Kids were engaged. Kids loved the gardening. We were doing lots of food preparation from the garden. The kids were involved in actually planting and harvesting. We decided that maybe we would take it a little bit further. And then in 2012, we got a grant from the Natural Resource Conservation Corps for the greenhouse which technically is a high tunnel because we don't heat it. That high tunnel now allowed us to extend our growing season by a couple of months and decided to have raised beds inside that high tunnel. And so that changed our program to where the kids were able to plant earlier and harvest later and it gave us much more produce than we had been growing before because the growing season is so much longer. And beyond that, now this past year we expanded that with an additional 15 raised beds. So we began actually having the children plant seeds inside in the middle of the winter in January because by April we're able to transplant out to the high tunnel. So this was a change for us. We decided that we no longer were going to be needing donations from greenhouses but that we were going to take this program to an actual seed to table type of learning program. So the children would be planting the seeds, putting them under grow lights and watching the seedlings grow and after about a month of doing that we would then take those seedlings, we would transplant them into a little bit larger container, continue to have them under the lights here inside. And then in April, depending on the weather, it's warm enough evenings to be able to plant out in the high tunnel. It would take us a few days and have a longer growing season. Kids love doing this and they really enjoy watching these plants grow and so many of the children have been involved with planting that seed in the dirt, watching it grow through the different transplant stages and now they're putting it outside where it's a little bit larger and then to watch it continue to grow and produce fruit or vegetables throughout the summer is amazing to these kids. So many of them have said, I had no idea that this is how we get our peppers. This is how we get our eggplant. Look at these tomatoes. Okay, doing the same thing. Being that we had an extra 15 raised garden beds outside, when those were first being developed as far as the size and where they were going to go, we met with T and K outdoors and said, you know, it would be really nice to do something like a three sisters garden Being that the Boys and Girls Club has a lot of diversity within the population of the children that attend here. There are a lot of children that have been involved with the garden that are from the Native American community and the Three Sisters Garden is a piece of that culture. So the Three Sisters Garden is where corn, beans and squash are the three vegetables that are planted and there is significance behind how they are planted. But to bring that education and that part of the culture to this garden, I think was a really important thing to do. At least two or three times during the summer, the kids will have their own little farmers market right outside the Boys and Girls Club. So what we do is we harvest what is available at that time and the kids and I come up with prices for the different items. We set out a huge table, the kids wash everything, we have a tent. It is like a farmer's market, only it is their market at their club and they, I think, take a lot of ownership in this. So the garden is a unique program because it kind of ties together nutrition, physical fitness and financial stewardship. So we're tying those three things together. We're asking them to kind of look at some of the market prices and sometimes we know what the market price is but because we want to put produce in the hands of our club families at a reasonable rate so we're going to keep it very, very cost-effective for our families. But we tie that together with a program called Money Matters and that's where they are learning some of these entrepreneurial skills. So they're learning, okay, well, you have this quantity of food and you're pricing at this, we'll then multiply that out. But through these farmer's markets, you know, our kids are learning about business, about supply, demand, what's selling, what's not selling and also how to count money. So we're teaching them those skills as well, entrepreneurial skills, physical fitness and the nutrition and making healthy choices for themselves. The culmination of our garden program for the year is highlighted in a harvest dinner that the kids are very involved in and this is the harvest of all of our produce, okay, the end of the year harvest. And so it's typically in October and we're pulling everything out of the high tunnel and everything out of the garden and coming up with a menu that's always vegetarian. We use only the produce from our garden to create, I think, a very delicious menu. This year, Chef Isaac Wally was our number one volunteer. He had seen us plant those seeds way back in February and bought produce from the club throughout the summer season and then we worked with him one-on-one to develop the menu for the harvest dinner and he helped work with our kids to create those things. The children are preparing these foods up to a week and a half, two weeks previous and then the day of we have the children in helping. It's an all-day affair. Many volunteers come in and help us out with this and during our harvest dinner, the people who actually attend are the families of the children that were involved in the garden that year as well as some of the board members, the donors and a variety of other community members that are kind of key to the club will always receive invitations as well. And it's not just about the food but it's about the pride that these kids feel in growing something and showing something to their family that they have done and that they've accomplished and that they feel so proud of. In one sense, it's about the food and introducing their families to new fruits and vegetables because that's a key thing as well but also just the excitement, the celebration of this whole program and its fruition. That ends our program for the year and then we have a couple of months where things are cleaning up, we put in the garden to rest and we have a little bit of downtime and before you know it, we're back at it planting those seeds again. Every year we survey our kids through the National Youth Outcomes Initiative so this is a boys and girls club national survey and every spring we ask our club members to give us feedback and out of that we have come to find out that our boys and girls club members eat 11% more vegetables than their national peers. So yay to that. So by having kids planting seeds and growing these plants just from little bitty seeds all the way through till we get them out doors and then they're selling the food, they're making dishes from the food, they're having a harvest dinner where they're sharing their food with the community. That whole process is I think so enlightening to kids and showing the kids how and why to respect where good food comes from, how easy it is to grow food, how delicious that food is and how to share that food with others. I think it's really important for children to see where their food is coming from. Alright, thank you. It's a very last thing.

Rediffuse is going to benefit the Marine Corps in the future. Like I said, now we know exactly what the French Foreign Legion has to offer with us. And being our biggest allies, I think it's extremely important. So far my experience has been great. I'm going to work with the Squalators and the Patoon Sarnes with the French Foreign Legion. It's outstanding. I love the fact that my Marines get to go out here and be just as gung-ho with them as we would be any other foreign nation. The French Foreign Legion learning from things that we do, but also us learning from them and the different experiences that we bring to the table. And I hope this just opens a door to allow future Marine Corps units to work with them.
