The hazards of a USB port on a firewall appliance
I have a simple question concerning USB ports on firewall appliances. Can this be a security hazard and compromise the firewall?

I don't really see it. It could, sure. Anything you do to a computer that doesn't include keeping it powered off could compromise it. But realistically, I wouldn't worry about it.
USB is a a serial bus designed to replace the mass of cables that you have with keyboards, mice, modems and so on. As you no doubt know, you can even put disk drives and other reasonably fast devices on it as well. This is even more viable with USB2.
But as a security threat, USB doesn't create one in and of itself. If someone already has potentially compromising access to a firewall (like the root password), then USB could make it easier for them to do bad things. But they already could do bad things.
An old saying in computer security is that physical access is all. Someone who can put their hot little hands on a computer can do much more to it than someone who has to use a network. Put your firewall behind a locked door. Give keys to only a limited number of people. Better yet, make it an electronic lock that makes an audit record for everyone who badges in. In such a situation, USB isn't much of a worry at all.

31 arrested in connection with Brussels diamond heist
Thirty-one people were arrested in Belgium, France and Switzerland in connection with the diamond robbery at Brussels Airport that took place Feb. 18.
"The breakthrough in the investigation is very good news. The developments the Belgian authorities communicated this morning are very important and hopeful for the ongoing investigation," Ari Epstein, CEO of Antwerp World Diamond Centre, said in a statement.
Air Cargo World reported on the security concerns highlighted by the Brussels diamond heist.
One suspect arrested in France is suspected to be one of the robbers and has been involved in several crimes in France. Belgian authorities have requested his extradition.
Swiss authorities have arrested six individuals.
Also, 250 police officers executed 40 raids, mostly in and around the Brussels area. During these raids, 24 individuals were arrested. Approximately 10 of them are known to be involved in the Brussels criminal scene.
In Switzerland, authorities found diamonds, some of which were confirmed to be part of the stolen parcels.
The investigation is still ongoing.

Ready to give up on a dream?
Ready to give up on dream? Kevin Foote email@example.com December 8, 2004 The New Orleans Saints are one of the worst teams in a watered-down, mediocre NFL these days. And considering theyÃÆââÃâìâÃââve only won a single playoff game in 38 years, youÃÆââÃâìâÃââd have to rank our boys from the Crescent City as one of the worst franchises in the history of the league. So itÃÆââÃâìâÃââs not exactly the peak time for owner Tom Benson and his management types to be traveling around the state pleading their case that the Superdome needs to be renovated and appealing to a long, seemingly lost statewide love affair for the Black and Gold. SaintsÃÆââÃâìâÃââ executive vice president Arnold Fielkow visited our newspaper last week with a presentation about the future of the franchise in Louisiana. Some of what he said made sense, some of his answers to our questions merely beat around the bush and some didnÃÆââÃâìâÃâât appear to be accurate on the surface. Fielkow said one thing, however, that rang very true in my ears, and itÃÆââÃâìâÃââs the one issue that needs to be strongly considered from both sides. The statement was that if the Saints leave New Orleans, the NFL will never return to Louisiana again. It may sound like a threat to some, but folks, itÃÆââÃâìâÃââs true. On paper, this region simply canÃÆââÃâìâÃâât afford an NFL franchise. The only reason why it has one now is that it obtained a team almost 40 years ago when the leagueÃÆââÃâìâÃââs economic structure was a very different animal. So to all who are down on the Saints and bitter about any demands that theyÃÆââÃâìâÃââre making with a 4-8 record, the real question is, are you ready to give up on having a team forevermore? Are you ready to forget about John GilliamÃÆââÃâìâÃââs kickoff return in the first-ever SaintsÃÆââÃâìâÃââ game in 1967? Are you ready to forget about the memorable 51-42 record-breaking win at St. Louis in 1969? Are you ready to discard the memory of Tom DempseyÃÆââÃâìâÃââs 63-yard field goal in 1970? Are you ready to throw out the SaintsÃÆââÃâìâÃââ defense holding O.J. Simpson to his lowest rushing total of 1973 (79 yards) when he eclipsed 2,000 yards? Are you ready to forget about the excitement of those first few playoff temptations in 1978, 1979 and 1983 when a few horrible breaks kept New Orleans from postseason play? Are you ready to toss out the memories of 1987 when a nine-game winning streak produced the thrills of a first-ever playoff trip? Are you ready to diminish that one special moment when the Saints jumped out to a 7-0 lead on Minnesota in that first playoff game, before everything came crashing down in 44-10 defeat? Are you really ready to throw aside the stretch between 1987 and 1993 when the Saints had seven straight seasons without a losing record and four double-digit win seasons to finally bring pride to the fans? Are you really ready to forget about the excitement of that first-ever playoff win over St. Louis in 2000? Are you ready to rip off that unique badge of courage SaintsÃÆââÃâìâÃââ fans wore for so many years decorated with the frustrations of all the raw deals handed to New Orleans over the years by such teams as 49ers, Falcons, Giants Vikings, and Dolphins? It indeed has been a rugged ride filled with tears, bitterness and repeated disappointments, but itÃÆââÃâìâÃââs been a ride. Do we really wish that the Saints had never existed? Were all the losses so painful that you really wish you never had a team in the state to support? Do we really want to throw away that slim chance that one day the Saints might actually get to the Super Bowl? So before we let the franchiseÃÆââÃâìâÃââs present demise affect our decision-making, letÃÆââÃâìâÃââs really make sure that we donÃÆââÃâìâÃâât want a team 20 to 30 years from now. Because when itÃÆââÃâìâÃââs gone, itÃÆââÃâìâÃââs gone ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬Ã forever. |

Take 2
A different spin on sports by The Seattle Times staff and readers.
Poll: How big is Richard Sherman decision for Seahawks?
Just how big is the news that cornerback Richard Sherman won't be suspended by the NFL for the Seahawks?
Sherman is arguably Seattle's best defensive player, so having him available for Sunday's final regular-season game at home against the St. Louis Rams and the playoffs has to help, right? But how much?
Are you ready to make your reservations for the Super Bowl in New Orleans on Feb. 3? Or are you taking a realistic, we've-still-gotta-win-on-the-road approach?

This was probably a very nice campground many years ago, but is in need of maintenance. Roads are very rough and many sites are so overgrown they can't be used any more. When we were there it wasn't a very wet season, but there was one road that was impassable because of water over the road. The playground was swing set and teeter totter. - Pumacamper
Interior roads are very rough and full of potholes. We got a pull-through site for our 35 foot 5th wheel and there were trees on both sides where we pulled out. It was extremely tight, but we made it. There is a swimming "lake" but of course at this time of year it was closed and rather dirty, which was to be expected. Wi-Fi was strong and worked well. Out site was dark so it was great for sleeping and there was no traffic noise. I looked at the washrooms and showers with the intention of using them but they were quite dirty and had dead insects all over the floor. Also the showers cost 25 cents for 2 and a half minutes. No thanks, I will use the ones in the trailer. This campground is OK for a night off the freeway. - Canadian Adventurer
This may have been a very nice campground at one time and may be again, but right now, its a mess. Recent floods in southern Saskatchewan has resulted in about half the campground being flooded and currently closed. Several of the washrooms are closed, and the interior roads have major potholes and mud. The voltage on the 30 amp service was so sporadic, it ranged from 100 to 120 volts on my voltmeter. This resulted in damage to the air conditioner circuit breaker which I needed to have replaced at a cost of $100 at our next stop. The campground has a nice swimming pond, and if the management can repair the flood damage and the roads, it could once again be a very nice park. - DrLewie

Match Preview
Havos at helm for PAOK PAOK go into the tough Europa League showdown with Villarreal sitting atop Group D but with a new man at the helm following this weekend's departure of coach Pavlos Dermitzakis. Dermitzakis had helped PAOK pick up four points from their opening two Europa League games, leaving them a point clear of Dinamo Zagreb and Villarreal in the table, but the club's domestic form has not been so good. Saturday's defeat by Panathinaikos was their third successive 1-0 reverse and means PAOK are now stuck in the bottom three of the Greek top flight with five points from six games. It was after that game that PAOK and Dermitzakis mutually decided to go their separate ways, with the coach saying on www.uefa.com: "We did well in Europe, but the bad results in the league are the reason behind this development. "I told the players that the talent and quality are still there and they can turn the situation around." Makis Havos, who was Dermitzakis's assistant, has been handed caretaker duties for the trip to Villarreal and he faces a baptism of fire against the in-form Spanish team. Villarreal had a sluggish start to the season, but since losing to Dinamo Zagreb in their opening Europa League match the Yellow Submarine rattled off five successive wins prior to Monday night's 2-2 draw at Hercules. Juan Carlos Garrido's side would have moved to the top of the Primera Division standings if they had won that game, but as it is they are second on 16 points, one behind pacesetters Real Madrid. During their winning streak Villarreal downed Club Brugge to get their Europa League challenge back on track, but defender Mateo Musacchio knows they need another victory at El Madrigal. "For us it's a vital game and we cannot allow the three points to escape, especially as we are playing at home. If we play at our level I'm sure that we will take the three points," said the 20-year-old, who was one of three players shown a red card in the entertaining clash with Hercules. Defender Angel Lopez added: "Our loss in Croatia (to Dinamo) means we are obliged to win our home games and, as well as that, it would be very important for morale because if we pick up points we will go away from home much calmer."

Match Report
Ruben settles it for top dogs Villarreal Marco Ruben's first-half goal proved decisive at El Madrigal as Villarreal moved top of Europa League Group D with a 1-0 victory over PAOK Salonika. The Argentinian striker broke the deadlock seven minutes before the break to secure the Spanish side their second straight win in the group and end their Greek rivals' unbeaten start. With the evening's other game in this group ending goalless between Dinamo Zagreb and Club Brugge, Villarreal climbed atop the pool by two points. The Yellow Submarine had the better of the early exchanges but struggled to break down a stubborn PAOK defence. Ruben got himself into a good position just before the half-hour but saw his left-footed effort from close range blocked by PAOK defender Bruno Cirillo. The breakthrough arrived in the 38th minute, when Ruben fired into the bottom-left corner from the right side of the penalty area from Giuseppe Rossi's pass. PAOK, who parted company with coach Pavlos Dermitzakis last weekend due to poor domestic form, almost hit back immediately when Zlatan Muslimovic met Giorgos Fotakis' inswinging corner, but he sent his far-post header wide. There was still time for Juan Carlos Garrido's side to pass up an opportunity to extend their advantage before the half-time whistle, Rossi lashing wide from 12 yards two minutes before the break. The hosts continued to boss the encounter in the second half but could not add to their lead. Rossi tried his luck from long range but could only direct his effort wide, while at the other end Giorgos Fotakis let fly from distance but failed to trouble Diego Lopez. PAOK needed Cirillo to get his body in the way to block Cani's blast midway through the second half to keep the deficit at 1-0, but they were offering little as an attacking force. Vladimir Ivic's volley flew over the bar in the 71st minute and Nabil El Zhar's attempt three minutes later went the same way as the visitors tried in vain to get back on level terms. Cani went close to grabbing a second goal two minutes from time with a left-footed shot from 12 yards, but PAOK goalkeeper Dario Kresic got down to tip it around the post. Nilmar also fired wide and substitute Jozy Altidore was denied by Kresic in stoppage time, but the second goal was not forthcoming.

Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP) added to Baseball-Reference.com
Last night, I added FIP (short for Fielding Independent Pitching) to the site. This is a sabermetric stat for pitchers that approximates ERA without the effect of their team's fielding ability. FIP actually correlates to future ERA better than ERA itself making it a superior indicator of future performance.
The idea is that the pitcher most directly controls the number of walks, home runs and strikeouts that occur and that the batters and fielders have a bigger say on whether balls in play are turned into outs and that most pitchers' Batting Average on Balls in Play (BAbip) reverts to a league average from one year to the next.
FIP is (13*HR + 3*(BB+HBP) - 2*SO)/IP + Constant(year). The constant is set so the yearly avg FIP equals the yearly avg ERA.
FIP can be looked at exactly like ERA and is scaled to exactly the same league average as ERA, but it's range will be slightly smaller.
Often a player with a low FIP and high ERA will improve, while a low ERA and high FIP indicates a likely regression as more hits start falling. I've placed FIP next to ERA to make this comparison more obvious, but if it begins making the ERA lookup too hard, I may move it further right on the pitching tables.
I've also added FIP and K% to the Play Index Season Finder. Right now, I don't believe we will add xFIP given the inconsistency in batted ball data, but that could change.
Player with big gap in FIP and ERA: Ricky Nolasco.

BBR Feature Add: Practice Shot Charts
NBA.com has really upped the level of detail they've added, so we're trying to respond with the latest and greatest data we can get. We've recently come to an agreement with a number of franchises for access to their practice film and have begun breaking down scrimmage data.
Practice shot charts seem to us the next frontier in basketball analytics. This data will show you who's improving, who isn't, and who is working on new aspects of their game. It's especially useful for players without a lot of playing time.
Before we roll it out sidewide, we've prepared some sample charts.

P-F-R Help Wanted! Help Us Identify Historical Teams' Offensive & Defensive Schemes
Here is a google doc containing every team-season in our database since 1957, including the Head Coach and offensive & defensive coordinators. It also specifies those coaches' preferred offensive or defensive schemes (depending on which side of the ball they specialize in), and attempts to figure out the general offensive family (i.e. Air Coryell, Erhardt-Perkins, etc) each team-season fell into.
THIS IS BY NO MEANS COMPLETE. In fact, it's very much incomplete at this stage -- and that's where you come in. In the comments of this post, or in an email, we'd love to hear corrections and/or additions to the data, if you see an entry about which you know more than we do (and it's a good bet you do). Thanks in advance for your help, and hopefully we can assemble a more complete listing of teams' systems/schemes, which will let us do things like compute splits vs. a certain type of offense or defense, analyze whether 4-3 or 3-4 defenses were better in a given season, etc.
So let those corrections/additions pour in!

BBR's Most Wanted: Line Scores
I am very close to having a complete set of proofed line scores (i.e., scoring by quarter) for the 1950-51 NBA season forward. By "proofed" I mean that I have verified that the line score total equals the team point total. There are almost 55,000 regular season and playoff games in that period, but I only have 21 12 issues that need to be resolved.
First, here are the cases where the line score total does not match the team's point total:
195111100BOS BOS pts 83 (game) 84 (line) Found! 195812270PHW PHW pts 114 (game) 115 (line) Found! 195812270PHW STL pts 108 (game) 105 (line) Found! 196003090DET MNL pts 116 (game) 117 (line) Found! 196011050STL STL pts 119 (game) 120 (line) Found! 196111180STL CIN pts 133 (game) 136 (line) Found! 196203040SYR SYR pts 115 (game) 105 (line) Found! 196301310SYR SYR pts 112 (game) 102 (line) 196403010DET SFW pts 100 (game) 94 (line) 196403170LAL PHI pts 97 (game) 94 (line) 196602160NYK SFW pts 108 (game) 106 (line)
Second, here are the games that are missing line scores:
195011040WSC MNL and WSC 195011110NYK SYR and NYK Found! 195011110WSC BOS and WSC Found! 195011150MNL SYR and MNL 195011220BLB NYK and BLB 195011250WSC SYR and WSC 195101060WSC FTW and WSC 195102220NYK TRI and NYK 195103290SYR NYK and SYR Found! 196203120LAL NYK and LAL
I have almost exhausted the resources that I have at my disposal, so I would be very grateful if any of you could lend a hand. You can post additions/corrections here or submit them using our feedback form. Please supply documentation to support your claim. Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

Does a great job!
Does everything it's designed to quietly and with speed. The only downside is that you have to use the large bowl with the small one, so they both end up getting dirty. Otherwise it's been great so far! Easy to use, and I love the accessory case that comes with it.

Kitchenaid Food Processor
I haven't have the processor long enough to provide a thorough evaluation, but on inspection and limited use, this food processor is made better and is easier to use than the processor it replaced (Cuisinart). The ability to change the thickness of a slice without removing the blade/disc, is a great time saver and works well.

Did Navy SEALs bring a peace dividend for Obama?
The killing of Osama bin Laden by the Navy SEALS should compel a more sober risk assessment of the terrorist threat by Congress and the Obama administration. Bin Laden himself wanted to bankrupt the US by causing overreaction to fear.
President Obama's visit with the Navy SEALs that "got" Osama bin Laden was a moving moment of national gratitude, not only for a job well done and not simply because the raid may reduce the risk of terrorist attacks.
Rather, the SEALs also may have helped save a chunk of money for the United States – and just when it really needs to.
With the Al Qaeda leader gone, Americans have gained some peace of mind about their security. And that could bring a "peace dividend" if the price tag for the so-called "war on terror" can be reduced.
To be sure, Al Qaeda and its affiliates will likely remain active to some degree despite the death of their top jihadist. And the US still needs military assets like the SEALs, just as much as air passengers will probably need to take off their shoes for the Transportation Security Administration.

Property values going up, taxes may follow
Value-notice protests accepted through June 1
Thursday, April 16, 2009
Craig Property in Moffat County - including all residential, commercial, industrial and vacant land - increased in value by an average of about 20 percent this year, Moffat County Assessor Suzanne Brinks said.
Property owners can expect to receive a notice near May 4 stating the new value. The values will apply to taxes paid in 2010 and 2011.
Values are directly tied to the amount of taxes a property owner will pay. If the local and state mill levies remain the same for 2010 - they're set each December - then the average property tax bill in Moffat County will increase by the same 20 percent, Moffat County Assessor Suzanne Brinks said.
Her office will be accepting residents' protests through June 1.
"We'll address anyone's concerns," she said. "That's why we're here."
However, citizens cannot protest their taxes because they're too high, Brinks added. They are encouraged to protest their values when they believe a mistake has been made - such as misclassifying a residence as a business - but the Assessor's Office does not set tax levels.
To help explain what's coming, the Assessor's Office hosted a free public forum Tuesday morning at the Moffat County Courthouse for business owners. Brinks said the forum was designated for business appraisals because they are more complicated than residential.
State law requires assessors to appraise residential properties based on their market value, the amount paid for purchases of the same type of home. Other properties have different formulas that can be applied at the assessor's discretion.
In all cases, the Assessor's Office cannot control what to value a certain property, said John Zimmerman, a commercial appraiser contracted to handle Moffat County valuations for the past six years who lead the presentation.
"The values are what the values are," he said. "We can't control, really, how much the tax burden is going to be. We're not out to raise taxes or reclassify buildings to be mean or to raise more revenue. I know a lot of you might not believe this, but the assessor does not want to overvalue your property."
The Assessor's Office also cannot "cheat" and lower property values, because the state audits the county's each year and would raise them back up regardless, Zimmerman said.
This year's revaluations are based on real estate sales between Jan. 1, 2007, and June 30, 2008, which Zimmerman acknowledged ended before the national economy hit its lowest marks.
However, even if he was allowed by the state to include real estate sales after that date, local values likely wouldn't have changed much, he added.
Jennifer Riley, the county's chief appraiser, said she sees every sale in the county and prices, in general, have not fallen.
"The sales are still there," she said. "The number of sales has fallen off, but the prices are still there. We have tried to go with the very lowest (valuations), and still be properly valued. The market has flattened, but it's still high."
Zimmerman warned the situation may seem unfair when people receive their notices of values, especially for businesses.
"You're all experiencing a downturn in your business, but still paying at this rate," he said.
For more information, call the Assessor's Office at 824-9102, or visit the office on the second floor of the Moffat County Courthouse, 221 W. Victory Way.

I just want to know why they could be going up again this year when they said they were doing all this stuff last year and it's something that is done about every 10 years...........did I fall asleep for that long?? or did I just misunderstand something from last year???
Neal Harkner 5 years, 9 months ago
I remembered asking Jennifer Riley how often property valuations were done in Colorado - it's every 2 years.

Why don't they do a better job and get their people out there and get the "skippers" that ditch the permits and taxes it is not fair to rest of us. some have been reported and nothing done. who is the boss of the planning people? I would like to report them?
als362 5 years, 9 months ago
I need someone to explain to me how property values could be going up, when everyone that is selling their house has been forced to reduce the price, and many are still not selling, even with a reduced price.
This explaination should be good for a few laughs.
Neal Harkner 5 years, 9 months ago
als362 - If Colorado's not a non-disclosure state, the price of every property transaction is available at the assessor's office for public review.
lostyermarbles 5 years, 9 months ago
Well it seem's they make up the rules as they go depending on who need's what. But still not doing a good job with what they are supposed to be doing anyway. So if your crooked enough or know someone, or are 'somebody' you get by with it you don't get it, your neighbor will pay it for you. Just say it's shop or ag or lawnmower shed. Even tho it's a business, house etc. And the guy's will turn their heads if they like ya.
lonelyone 5 years, 9 months ago
harnker, are you sure? I thought it was every 10 years?? I know, I do alot of my own thinking and it's often wrong!!!!

opps, sorry I spell your "handle" wrong. Harkner is what I should have spelled...........see I was doing my own thinking again!
Neal Harkner 5 years, 9 months ago
That's ok. It happens. I posed the question to Jennifer Riley here in the forums a while back and she said the state requires them to revalue the properties every 2 years.

The d_mb_$$_$ who supported and voted for those mill increases for a new hospital when it is now admitted that the old building is "Not that Bad" and replacing a school because it needed roof repair and a new heater with a new building are the ones responsible for your tax increases. Remember who they are when you think of purchasing something from them in the future! I do and make a point to buy elsewhere. I told you so! I told you so! ........Gee, I hope I did not violate a policy by letting those few who did this to all of us what I really think of them. Hey editorial board, do you think all bond elections should be held in presidential election years only, so more people could decide on them? Hummmmmmm.......
Neal Harkner 5 years, 9 months ago
"Hey editorial board, do you think all bond elections should be held in presidential election years only, so more people could decide on them? Hummmmmmm::."
Let me preface this by saying I have no dog in the hunt here, but that statement rankles me a bit. Every election should be important, whether or not it includes the presidential race. It is your constitutionally given right to vote. Use it at EVERY election!
lonelyone 5 years, 9 months ago
You are so right harkner, I was amazed at the small number of voters that decided the winners of our last election for the city. No matter what it's for or the time of year, people need to get out and vote.
Craig_gal 5 years, 9 months ago
I have a good friend here from another country (legally, by the way) she states that in other countries around the world---Election day is HUGE, its like a national holiday, there are no business's opened and family and friends all go and vote together, the children watch and are very enthralled with the process. The families then all go to one house and have dinner and talk about the voting. She says its very emotional and touching on voting days.
Makes me think how proud they all must be.

Special Correspondent
VAT on tea and cofee powder brought down to 4 p.c. from 12.5 p.c.
HYDERABAD: Tea, coffee and salt powder will cost less in Andhra Pradesh henceforth.
The Value Added Tax (VAT) on tea and coffee powder has been brought down from 12.5 per cent to 4 per cent while the tax on salt, which was 4 per cent, has been totally waived. The VAT has also been reduced from 12.5 per cent to 4 per cent on cashew nut.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy announced these decisions in the Assembly on Wednesday while intervening in the discussion after the Bills to amend the APVAT and Rural Development Acts were introduced.
Dr. Reddy made the announcement on tea and coffee in deference to the wishes of traders who had made several representations to the Government and even petitioned the court. The court had left the matter to the discretion of the Government.
Tea and coffee dealers had for long been protesting against the levy of 12.5 per cent tax citing the example of other States where the produce was charged under VAT at only 4 per cent. The high rate of tax had also promoted the dealers to make the purchases in other States.
Tax evasion
Tax evasion in coffee transactions had also come to light which apparently prompted Government to check the activities of the dealers.
While selling the end produce, they were reported to be making book entries about dealing in coffee seed which was taxed only at 4 per cent.
Commercial Taxes Minister Konathala Ramakrishna, who piloted the Bill, left the decision on reduction of VAT on the four products to the Chief Minister after referring to the representations of dealers. He refused to concede the demand for tax reduction on tiles.
Mr. Ramakrishna, who also holds the portfolio of Law and Courts, said 144 vacancies of Public Prosecutor posts would be filled soon. Ten special courts on agency areas and 35 courts of junior and senior civil judges would also be established elsewhere.
The House passed a Bill to amend the AP Housing Board, envisaging a role for it with public-private participation, by division vote which was won by 80 - 37.

(Ron Vesely/Getty Images)Tampa Bay Rays pitcher David Price went on a lengthy Twitter rant Sunday night after a contentious back-and-forth between Price and home-plate umpire Tom Hallion led to Hallion calling him a "liar."Things started to heat up as Price walked off the mound in the seventh inning of an eventual 8-3 win over the Chicago White Sox. On Price's second-to-last pitch of the inning — a 2-2 fastball to Dewayne Wise — he thought he threw a "perfect pitch" for strike three. Hallion called it a ball. Price struck out Wise, swinging, on the next pitch."I was mad at myself and I didn't say a single word to the umpire, I didn't look at him and he yells at me to 'Throw the ball over the [expletive] plate,' and that's why our dugout went nuts. They heard him say it," Price told reporters after the game, according to MLB.com."That's terrible. You don't speak to people that way. I didn't disrespect him. I went to talk with him after the first inning. I was calm. That's terrible."Price's teammates would erupt again — when word came that Hallion called Price a "liar" for saying Hallion had yelled at him."I'll come right out bluntly and say he's a liar," Hallion told a pool reporter about Price, according to MLB.com. "I'm denying what he said I said pretty strongly. I said, 'Just throw the ball.' That's all I said to him."The Rays' clubhouse did not take kindly to that accusation. And Price wrote a lengthy diatribe on Twitter explaining his case after the game. Here's some of it:1. I am not a liar 2. I would not make that stuff up 3. My own dad doesn't speak to me that way 4. Again I am not a liar #accountability— David Price (@DAVIDprice14) April 28, 2013Think our entire dugout would ERUPT cause an ump told me to throw the ball over the plate?

The Lustre Distributed Filesystem
There comes a time in a network or storage administrator's career
when a large collection of storage volumes needs to be pooled together
and distributed within a clustered or multiple client network, while
maintaining high performance with little to no bottlenecks when accessing
the same files. That is where Lustre comes into the picture. The Lustre
filesystem is a high-performance distributed filesystem intended for
larger network and high-availability environments.
The Storage Area Network and Linux
Traditionally, Lustre is configured to manage remote data storage disk
devices within a Storage Area Network (SAN), which is two or more
remotely attached disk devices communicating via a Small Computer System
Interface (SCSI) protocol. This includes Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel
over Ethernet (FCoE), Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and even iSCSI. To better
explain what a SAN is, it may be more beneficial to begin with what it
isn't. For instance, a SAN shouldn't be confused with a Local Area Network
(LAN), even if that LAN carries storage traffic (that is, via networked filesystem shares and so on). Only if the LAN carries storage traffic using
the iSCSI or FCoE protocols can it then be considered a SAN. Another
thing that a SAN isn't is Network Attached Storage (NAS). Again, the
SAN relies heavily on a SCSI protocol, while the NAS uses the NFS and
SMB/CIFS file-sharing protocols.
An external storage target device will represent storage volumes as
Logical Units within the SAN. Typically, a set of Logical Units will be
mapped across a SAN to an initiator node—in our case, it would be the
server(s) managing the Lustre filesystem. In turn, the server(s) will
identify one or more SCSI disk devices within its SCSI subsystem and treat
them as if they were local drives. The amount of SCSI disks identified
is determined by the amount of Logical Units mapped to the initiator. If
you want to follow along with the examples here, it is relatively simple
to configure a couple virtual machines: one as the server node with
one or more additional disk devices to export and the second to act as
a client node and mount the Lustre enabled volume. Although it is bad
practice, for testing purposes, it also is possible to have a single
virtual machine configured as both server and client.
SCSI is an ANSI-standardized hardware and software computing
interface adopted by all early storage manufacturers. Revised editions
of the standard continue to be used today.
The Distributed Filesystem
A distributed filesystem allows access to files from multiple hosts
sharing a computer network. This makes it possible for multiple
users on multiple client nodes to share files and storage resources. The
client nodes do not have direct access to the underlying block storage
but interact over the network using a protocol and, thus, make it possible
to restrict access to the filesystem depending on access lists or
capabilities on both the servers and the clients, unlike a clustered filesystem, where all nodes have equal access to the block storage where the
filesystem is located. On these systems, the access control must reside on
the client. Other advantages to utilizing distributed filesystems include
the fact that they may involve facilities for transparent replication
and fault tolerance. So, when a limited number of nodes in a filesystem
goes off-line, the system continues to work without any data loss.
Lustre (or Linux Cluster) is one such distributed filesystem,
usually deployed for large-scale cluster computing. Licensed under
the GNU General Public License (or GPL), Lustre provides a solution in
which high performance and scalability to tens of thousands of nodes
and petabytes of storage becomes a reality and is relatively simple to
deploy and configure. Despite the fact that Lustre 2.0 has been released,
for this article, I work with the generally available 1.8.5.
Lustre contains a somewhat unique architecture, with three major
functional units. One is a single metadata server or MDS that contains
a single metadata target or MDT for each Lustre filesystem. This
stores namespace metadata, which includes filenames, directories, access
permissions and file layout. The MDT data is stored in a single disk filesystem mapped locally to the serving node and is a dedicated filesystem
that controls file access and informs the client node(s) which object(s)
make up a file. Second are one or more object storage servers (OSSes) that
store file data on one or more object storage targets or OST. An OST is a
dedicated object-base filesystem exported for read/write operations. The
capacity of a Lustre filesystem is determined by the sum of the total
capacities of the OSTs. Finally, there's the client(s) that accesses and
uses the file data.
Lustre presents all clients with a unified namespace
for all of the files and data in the filesystem that allow concurrent
and coherent read and write access to the files in the filesystem. When
a client accesses a file, it completes a filename lookup on the MDS,
and either a new file is created or the layout of an existing file is
returned to the client. Locking the file on the OST, the client will
then run one or more read or write operations to the file but will not
directly modify the objects on the OST. Instead, it will delegate tasks to
the OSS. This approach will ensure scalability and improved security and
reliability, as it does not allow direct access to the underlying storage,
thus, increasing the risk of filesystem corruption from misbehaving/defective clients. Although all three components (MDT, OST and client)
can run on the same node, they typically are configured on separate
nodes communicating over a network (see the details on LNET later in this
article). In
this example, I'm running the MDT and OST on a single server node
while the client will be accessing the OST from a separate node.
Installing Lustre
To obtain Lustre 1.8.5, download the prebuilt binaries packaged in RPMs,
or download the source and build the modules and utilities for your
respective Linux distribution. Oracle provides server RPM packages
for both Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux
(RHEL) 5, while also providing client RPM packages for OEL 5, RHEL 5
and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10,11. If you will be building
Lustre from source, ensure that you are using a Linux
kernel 2.6.16 or greater. Note that in all deployments of Lustre, the
server that runs on an MDS, MGS (discussed below) or OSS must utilize a
patched kernel. Running a patched kernel on a Lustre client is optional
and required only if the client will be used for multiple purposes,
such as running as both a client and an OST.
If you already have a supported operating system,
make sure that the patched kernel, lustre-modules, lustre-ldiskfs (a
Lustre-patched backing filesystem kernel module package for the ext3 filesystem), lustre (which includes userspace utilities to configure and run
Lustre) and e2fsprogs packages are installed on the host system while
also resolving its dependencies from a local or remote repository. Use
the rpm command to install all necessary packages:
$ sudo rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.18-184.108.40.206.1.el5_lustre.1.8.4.i686.rpm
$ sudo rpm -ivh lustre-modules-1.8.4-2.6.18_18.104.22.168.1.el5_
$ sudo rpm -ivh lustre-ldiskfs-3.1.3-2.6.18_220.127.116.11.1.el5_
$ sudo rpm -ivh lustre-1.8.4-2.6.18_184.108.40.206.1.el5_
$ sudo rpm -ivh e2fsprogs-1.41.10.sun2-0redhat.oel5.i386.rpm
After these packages have been installed, list the boot directory to
reveal the newly installed patched Linux kernel:
[petros@lustre-host ~]$ ls /boot/

I agree with what are you saying and I think that this can be really useful for many of us.
Aer Conditionat
Lustre != SAN, distributed != many (remote clients)
The purpose of Lustre is to be a "distributed file system" in the sense of distributing the data among multiple storage nodes and doing so via the local area network (and protocols such as TCP/IP over Ethernet or Infiniband). It is the distribution on the *server* side that allows Lustre capacity and bandwidth to scale up to several petabytes of storage and gigabytes/seconds of bandwidth (thanks to theoretically up to 8192 OSS servers).
And it is certainly not recommended to configure Lustre "to manage remote data storage disk devices within a Storage Area Network (SAN)", as SANs quickly become performances bottlenecks given the bandwidth of common SAN protocols, which can only be circumvented by very costly hardware. On the contrary, Lustre aims towards distributing storage across (as many as possible) commodity storage (OSS) nodes, each designed to provide balanced/optimal performances on all levels (storage, memory, processing power and client-facing network). It thus proves more efficient to use more "scaled-down" OSS nodes with direct-attached disks (and not too many of them, as the SCSI/SAS or PCI bus will quickly become a bottleneck) rather than fewer "beefed-up" OSS nodes in front of SANs.
You may want to look at Gluster which provides a single namespace for storage like Lustre but is much simpler to implement and doesn't require its own kernel or module. Clients are either NFS or FUSE.
Newer versions of Lustre available
Please note that even though Oracle has stopped releasing newer versions of Lustre, there is a considerable amount of development effort in the Lustre community.
New releases are available for download at http://downloads.whamcloud.com/public/lustre/

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Every time I'm about to jump into one of these discussions, Fons says
pretty much what I was going to say. But there is one additional
textbook observation I was going to make:> a) any non-linearity introduces harmonics, some non-linearities
Although this is mostly true, it's difficult to believe it matters in
a practical audio application. If it does, in most of the cases that
are not deliberately using a highly nonlinear transfer, adding one
additional bit of depth will get you the same noise/distortion benefit
as doubling the sampling rate. Once you're using 32 bit floats,
you're already 160dB down... If you need more, I'd love to know what
you're doing, and I'm not being sarcastic!

I love to cook and also can produce every year so the stove is very important to me. Many of the houses we are looking at have only electric available and I am concerned about this. My only experience with electric stoves is 30 years old and back then it was very difficult to pressure can on one. I worry about the fact that there is no instant on/off and variations. Do the new stoves perform better? Also, if there is an electric outage, with a gas stove, you can always cook. |

Get induction, as good or better than gas, much better than other electric cooktops. |

Does the area have natural gas available? Unless it does or you want to consider using propane for cooking, induction is the way to go. Bringing natural gas the distance to our under-construction house eight years ago would have been a budget buster. We opted for propane for cooking and heating because I would have sold the house before using an electric cook top. Induction was still pretty untested in the US back then but I would definitely use it today if gas were not available. |

We have electric cooking only in our house and I bought a radiant electric cooktop. The best I can say is that it's better than a coil electric. It does annoying things like cycle on and off and it isn't super responsive. I cook a lot and I've learned to work with it. Plus it's 10 and it was my only alternative at that time. If I was still in the same position today, I'd go with induction. It offers the speed and power of gas and the responsiveness but works the way electric does. There's a learning curve since it's not conventional power but a majority of the reports from those here who have it are positive and enthusiastic. |
Try asking in the Harvest forum. I think there are some smaller pressure canners that are steel and will work with induction, but it's not ideal. It doesn't work with the big aluminum one, and you have to be careful about the weight on a ceramic-glass topped stove. Some people have no trouble canning on old fashioned coil electric but few prefer it for all cooking tasks. I remember someone got a propane turkey fryer base to use outdoors with a pressure canner. |
