The European Union's Restriction on the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances (Directive 2002/95/EC) targeted at electronic products took effect in 2006. In contrast, the USA has no comparable national policy on these products. To understand corporate responses to policy differences across jurisdictions, we conducted a structured-questionnaire survey of individuals in 109 companies that are representative of the US electronics industry. The results reveal that 70% of these companies have already adopted lead-free solder for electronics with 49% of the total preferring the SnAgCu formulation, despite uncertainties associated with environmental impacts of this alternative alloy. We use a modified life cycle impact assessment method based on endpoint modeling approach to derive weighting factors that represent the respondents' value system for tradeoffs among environmental impacts. We use a modified fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution approach to evaluate technical criteria dominance in declared preferences. A statistical model of corporate behavior is also presented. The results provide the first systematic framework that accounts for environmental impact, technological challenge, and business strategy concurrently toward formulating a comprehensive national policy for materials selection in electronic products.

Tami - posted on 10/25/2009
I do not have type 1 diabetes but i was gestationally diabetic. Does she have carb restrictions? I know I had to control mine with diet and they had me only having a certain number of carbs per meal. There is a bread out there that is cut ultra thin and was a life saver for me because I could have 2 slices within my carb restrictions so that I could actually have an entire sandwich. Also watch out for chinese and japanese food because if it is cooked traditionally then there will be sugar added to the rice in the winter (it through me for a loop and sent my glucose reading through the roof!) Otherwise it was mostly about portion control for me rather than changing the way I cooked. Lots of meats and cheeses were my friend! I hope this helps and feel free to ask me any questions...again not the same but close! I hope you guys are doing ok!

Check out my blog at shesugar.com, it is new and growing full of real life tips and tricks. You are not alone.
[deleted account]
I do not HAVE a juvenile diabetic, but have BEEN one since the age of 2 1/2. Ironiclly enough, I too was diagnosed in September, although it was 33 years ago. Let me just say OMG how far the medical field and science have come! When I was a little girl, you had to pee on strips to test the glucose in your blood, and insulin was taken from PIGS. I am now pregnant with my 2nd child and talk about sacrifices of a mom. I have to get up at 3am since day one, and test my blood sugar, thank God, now with a Glucometer. I am on the insulin pump, that I was so stubborn about, I did not chose to get on until my 2nd trimester with my first child. That was almost 3 years ago. I was recommended to go see a nutritionist at the local hospital, while I was pregnant. This was a HUGE benefit. At the time of my pregnancy, I was often having major low blood sugars. That may be a great suggestion for you too, considering your daughter is young. Quite honestly, since becoming a diabetic at such a young age, I don't know what it is like to be non diabetic. This always has been my life. I don't let anything get in my way, and learn from my experiences. I was told by my high risk pregnancy doctor that juvenile diabetics couldn't have children until not long ago. So like mentioned before, Diabetes does not define your child. In my opinion it makes her a better person, that learns to eat healthier, not be judgmental of disabilities. I am sure all can live a long healthy life, as long as diabetes exist.

I'm also Type 1 insulin dependent diabetic. Do you have a diabetes centre in your area? I know when I was first diagnosed, I found them really helpful. They usually have dieticians you can talk with to develop a meal plan for your daughter (if you haven't already done so) and groups where your daughter can get together with other kids with diabetes, and you can talk with other parents who have children with diabetes. If you have any questions, feel free to message me as well. A good site I've used is http://www.diabetic-recipes.com/ Good luck with everything. And remember, she can live a normal, healthy life. Diabetes does not define her, and while I know things are probably pretty scary right now, it quickly becomes second nature for both yourself and her.

Hi tami,
yes she does have carb restrictions and because she is only 8 it is not alot for her to eat. Plus there is not maany things out there that she is possible to have , we got told that if she was to have a chinese she was to stay away from sweet n sour things as they are high in sugar. so it's abit of getting use to as she only got diagnosed in september there and we didn't no much about it so it was abit of a shock for us to get our head around.
Michelle - posted on 10/25/2009
I myself am a Type 1 insulin dependent diabetic. What type of insulin is she on and how old? I can go through all my stuff and see what I can come up with for you:o) Feel free to private msg. me if you would like to chat more!

Khloe tells 'Cosmopolitan' she hasn't given up on having a baby — and she's sick and tired of people putting pressure on her to get pregnant!
Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom, who wed just shy of two months after meeting in 2009, have made no secret of their desire to have a baby. In fact, the couple have openly documented their struggle to conceive on their E! reality show, Khloe & Lamar. But now, the always-candid Khloe is telling her fans it will happen when it's meant to happen.
"People make me feel like I have a problem because I haven't had a kid yet," she tells the mag. "The other day, this nice woman gave me a baby present, and said, 'This is for your future little Lamar.' It's sweet, but I'm like, 'I don't have a baby!'"
Realizing the pressure to conceive wasn't helping matters, Khloe, 27, has adopted a new, more laid-back attitude towards getting pregnant, explaining she and Lamar are taking things one day at a time. The youngest Kardashian sister also shoots down rumours she's had fertility treatments.
"We were thinking we had to know when I was ovulating," she says. "But seriously? That took the fun out of everything."
"Lamar and I definitely want kids, and when it happens for us, it'll happen," she adds.
Khloe has done an amazing job at handling all the pressure, and we hope she gets some good news soon. Stay positive, Khloe!

It will happen when its ment to! Your still very young. So just keep positive and ignore all the stupid small minded comments from people who just like to get a rise. I have a lot of respect for you and your entire family! If everyone was on TV trust me the world would shut up, crap happens to everyone and how we deal with it and move forward is what makes us better. Your family is full of love and are real, your the strongest in my opinion! Keep smiling!

Welcome to our new website. There has been a lot going on in the design department at Rogue.
After months of strategic development and creative conceptualisation we have finally launched our evolved brand identity. Our identity evolution saw us refining the core concept of our brand which is rooted in the belief that freedom of thought is where great strategy and design comes from. Expressing this is our icon – inspired by flight while our typeface has taken on a new refined style that is both modern and bold. There are two elements to our icon – which do you see first? The flight or the close-up?

New research from the National Center for Safe Routes to School – based on parent survey data collected by nearly 4,700 U.S. schools from 2007 to 2012 – shows that more K-8 students across the country are walking to and from school.
According to the data, the percentage of K-8 children who walked to school in the morning increased from 12.4 percent to 15.7 percent (representing a 27 percent increase). Similarly, the percentage of K-8 children who walked from school in the afternoon increased from 15.8 percent to 19.7 percent (representing a 24 percent increase).
Another significant finding of this research was that the percentage of parents who reported that their child's school supporting walking and bicycling for the school commute rose from 24.9 percent to 33 percent.
"School support for walking and biking is an important element in parents' decisions to allow or to encourage their children to make this transportation choice," said Lauren Marchetti, director of the National Center for Safe Routes to School. "And, as nearly 15,000 schools have benefited from Safe Routes to School funding across the country, this is an exciting finding. Together, schools, families and communities can help integrate physical activity into daily life."
The full report, Trends in Walking and Bicycling to School from 2007 to 2012, analyzed parent survey data collected by nearly 4,700 schools located in all states and DC from 2007 through 2012. The surveys represent more than 525,000 K-8 school children across the country. Parent surveys are not considered representative of all households, instead they give insight into communities where walking to school was slightly more feasible than average (for example, rural schools are under-represented in the study). Surveys came from schools with ranging amounts of SRTS activity, from those seeking SRTS funds to get started to those actively conducting SRTS programs.
The complete study and a companion piece for practitioners, Trends in Walking and Bicycling to School: Takeaways for Building Successful Programs, are available online at www.saferoutesinfo.org/program-tools/school-travel-trends-2007-to-2012. A news release is also available.

Write a ReviewMore like 1200 Watts
By Don from NJ on Dec 05, 2014
Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
I own this exact model. Bargain at this price, but it is likely to stall or shudder with a sudden 1150W load, At maybe 1000W it is perfect. The engine just can't throttle up fast enough for a sudden big load. That said, if you add the loads slowly, the generator does great. I have little doubt that the power output could be pushed up by slowly adding light bulbs or other loads with minimal inrush. No problem running my space heater on Medium or even High, or hedge trimmers, and modest power tools. The 1200 W rating is consistent with other generators of the same engine size. That said, it starts easily and runs well. For a storm emergency generator I would recommend a > 3000W model as it will be much more resilient to sudden loads.

Milk the marrow of summer
It is time to suck the marrow out of all that remains of summer.
Get out there and barbecue!
Last weekend, I fired up the charcoal grill a couple of times, once for ribs, another for some sensational locally-raised lamb chops.
I am not sure which is better, dawdling on the porch as the meat reaches perfection, or actually eating the results.

All year round
The Bethlem Royal Hospital Archives and Museum showcases the amazing creativity of those who have suffered mental illness over the years - and gives us an unwelcome glimpse of the Victorian ways of treating it.
The word bedlam has long been applied to any place or scene of wild turmoil and confusion. It actually derives from the Bethlem Hospital - originally a priory, it became a hospital at the turn of the 14th century and is the oldest institution for the care and confinement of the mentally ill in England, and one of the oldest in Europe.
The Victorian building that houses the hospital now contains a small museum of pictures by artists who have suffered a mental disorder - including Richard Dadd and Jonathan Martin. Dadd continued to paint through 42 years of confinement in criminal lunatic asylums, and Martin's prophetic dreams inspired him to set fire to York Minster in 1829.
There are other materials that provide an insight into former methods, often cruel, that were used on those "disturbed of mind". If you can't make it inside, the statues at the 17th-century gates are fascinating work - entitled Raving and Melancholy Madness, by Caius Gabriel Cibber. Other artists may not be so well known, but their images are often powerful, disturbing and surprisingly witty.
It's essential that you check whether the archives and museum are open before you plan a visit, as there are occasional closures.

[Android, Root Required] AdAway is an open-source app for blocking ads on your Android device
Posted By Ashraf On October 5, 2011 @ 1:06 AM In Android | 4 Comments
In the past dotTech has discussed AdFree Android [1] as the app for blocking ads on your Android device. While AdFree Android works well, the issue with it is the developer has recently begun updating the app without providing any sort of changelog to let users know what the updates are for. Since AdFree Android is an app that requires root, many people, including myself, are left wondering why the developer is updating (since the app is not broken and updates don't add any noticeable functionality) and are getting a bit uneasy to just blindly update an app that has root access to our devices. This is where AdAway comes in.
AdAway is an open-source app for Android devices. It does the exact same thing as AdFree Android: AdAway blocks ads by making use of your device's HOSTS file. (In other words, AdAway also requires root access and it is also a one-time-use app that you use once and potentially never have to see again/it doesn't continually run in the background.) So, then, why use AdAway over AdFree Android? Because, in addition to have some extra functionality such as being able to select which ad block lists to use, AdAway provides users with piece of mind that has been taken away by the developer of AdFree Android.
Using AdAway is just as easy as using AdFree Android. You load the app and one tap installs the relevant ad block lists on your device and one tap disables ad blocking by restoring a default HOSTS file:
Of course since AdAway requires root access, you will be asked to give AdAway root access before you can block anything.
Aside from being open-source, the two advantages of AdAway over AdFree Android are
(The three lists shown in the above screenshots are the lists that come enabled with AdAway by default.)
In addition to the above mentioned, there are, of course, the standard options/settings of AdAway that you can mess around with:
Pretty cool, no? Looks like there is a new Best Free Advertisements Blocker [6] in town. Amrite or amrite?
There is one slight downside to AdAway, however. Whereas AdFree Android requires only root access, AdAway requires root access and requires BusyBox to be installed. BusyBox is a set of developer utilities that some apps use to further their functionality. While it may be annoying that you must have BusyBox installed to use AdAway, BusyBox is freely available on Android Market [7] and it takes less than one minute to install (depending on your Internet connection speed). So it isn't that big of a deal. Plus once you have BusyBox installed you don't have to reinstall it for the other apps, that you may use in the future, that require it.
You can grab AdAway from the links below:

text: 2013 record breaking year at the box officeBy Lisa Respers France, CNNUpdated 2228 GMT (0628 HKT) December 30, 2013CNN readers' favorite movies of 2013 11 photosCNN readers' favorite movies of 2013 – In December, we asked CNN readers to pick their top 10 favorite films of the year. After counting up thousands of votes, these titles came out on top:Hide Caption 1 of 11CNN readers' favorite movies of 2013 11 photosNo. 10: '12 Years a Slave' – No. 10: It's difficult to think of "12 Years a Slave" as a "favorite" because of the painful history it unflinchingly presents, but we understand why CNN readers voted for it. If nothing else, this masterful film will be a favorite of cinephiles for years to come thanks to its tireless director, top-notch script and incredible performances from stars such as Chiwetel Ejiofor, left, and Michael Fassbender.Hide Caption 2 of 11CNN readers' favorite movies of 2013 11 photosNo. 9: 'Monsters University' – No. 9: CNN readers love a good animated sequel. The first on the 2013 favorites list, "Monsters University," was a long overdue follow-up to 2001's "Monsters, Inc." Hide Caption 3 of 11CNN readers' favorite movies of 2013 11 photosNo. 8: 'Fast & Furious 6' – No. 8: You cast your votes for favorite films of the year after the death of "Fast & Furious 6" star Paul Walker, but this film was a surefire favorite even before then. After its May release, the sixth installment in the "Fast" franchise went on to earn an astounding $788 million worldwide. Hide Caption 4 of 11CNN readers' favorite movies of 2013 11 photosNo. 7: 'Man of Steel' – No. 7: Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel," which starred Brit Henry Cavill as the iconic superhero, swerved from the Superman canon but still found some fans. Here's hoping Snyder's "Man of Steel" sequel, which will include Ben Affleck as Batman, will be strong enough to make it onto our list of favorite movies for 2015.Hide Caption 5 of 11CNN readers' favorite movies of 2013 11 photosNo. 6: 'Despicable Me 2' – No. 6: Steve Carell's Gru and his sunny yellow minions are anything but "Despicable." Some critics dismissed this sequel to 2010's "Despicable Me," but the audience was more enthusiastic, according to Rotten Tomatoes -- and it shows in your votes.Hide Caption 6 of 11CNN readers' favorite movies of 2013 11 photosNo. 5: 'Thor: The Dark World' – No. 5: In a year absent an "Avengers" ensemble, Marvel repaid rabid fans with two separate films. Following "Iron Man 3" in the summer came "Thor: The Dark World," which thundered into the box office with Chris Hemsworth as buff and regal as ever. Hide Caption 7 of 11CNN readers' favorite movies of 2013 11 photosNo. 4: 'Iron Man 3' – No. 4: "Iron Man 3" was the top-grossing film of 2013 -- it made $409 million domestically -- but it fell two places short of being an all-around favorite for our readers. Hide Caption 8 of 11CNN readers' favorite movies of 2013 11 photosNo. 3: 'Gravity' – No. 3: The only lingering question we have for Sandra Bullock and "Gravity's" director Alfonso Cuarón is where this honor -- being the third-favorite movie of 2013 for CNN's readers -- will rank when those inevitable awards start pouring in. Hide Caption 9 of 11CNN readers' favorite movies of 2013 11 photosNo. 2: 'Star Trek Into Darkness' – No. 2: Don't get us wrong -- "Star Trek Into Darkness" wasn't a bomb. It's just that, considering how it sputtered at the box office this summer, we weren't expecting to see CNN readers vote the follow-up to 2009's "Star Trek" into second place. But on the other hand, there's Benedict Cumberbatch in the sequel. Hide Caption 10 of 11CNN readers' favorite movies of 2013 11 photosNo. 1: 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' – No. 1: With "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," Jennifer Lawrence is two-for-two. Not only is she the favorite female celebrity of 2013 for CNN's readers, but she also starred in their favorite film of the year. Coincidence? We think not.Hide Caption 11 of 11Story highlights2013 broke a record at the box office"Iron Man 3" was the biggest movie of the yearThings started off slow, but finished strong in the yearHollywood is about to fade to black on a year full of green.According to the Los Angeles Times, 2013 is proving to be a lucrative year at the box office. Ticket sales reportedly are projected to reach $10.9 billion, which will just barely squeak by the 2012 record of $10.8 billion.But a record is a record and despite some high-profile flops like "The Lone Ranger" starring Johnny Depp, Oscar contenders such "12 Years a Slave" and "Gravity" also proved to be popular with audiences, and they helped to pull receipts over last year's record-breaking amount. Patrick Corcoran, a spokesman for the National Association of Theatre Owners, lauded the news."We rise and fall based on the strength of the movies in the marketplace," Corcoran said. "After setting a record, it's nice to be able to set another one, even by a little bit."Data from Box Office Mojo.com shows that sequels and blockbusters proved to be the biggest draw. The top grossing movie, "Iron Man 3," pulled in just over $409 million, while "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" has earned $391 million so far. Rounding out the top 10 were "Despicable Me 2," "Man of Steel," "Monsters University," "Gravity," "Frozen," "Fast & Furious 6," "Oz The Great and Powerful," and "Star Trek Into Darkness."Analysts say that while the financial picture was looking less than rosy earlier in the year, the pace picked up. During the Christmas period, eagerly awaited films like "The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug" and "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" helped Hollywood finish off strong."Just having lots of movies to choose from helped drive success for our industry," said Ken Thewes, chief marketing officer and senior vice president at Regal Entertainment Group, told the Times.More from showbizAnthony Bourdain previews new CNN showBourdain: I never thought I'd leave NYCDemi Lovato's plan to change the worldPowered by Livefyre

KCSO: Shots fired, stolen weapon seized
Married couple arrested
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -
Shots were fired and firearms were seized during an investigation, according to officials.
On March 14, at about 2:46 am, deputies went to the Acari Road and Borda Lane area regarding numerous shots fired and a person screaming.
Deputies said they arrived and began searching the area.
Deputies found 38-year-old Carl Robert Rebiejo, of Bakersfield, in the backyard of a home. Deputies also saw evidence of a gun being fired.
Carl Robiejo was intoxicated and initially uncooperative, according to deputies.
Deputies were able to detain Carl Rebiejo pending further investigation.
Carl Rebiejo's wife, 38-year-old Amy Rebiejo of Bakersfield, was contacted during the investigation.
Deputies said Amy Rebiejo was intoxicated and assaulted a deputy while deputies were detaining Carl Rebiejo. Amy Rebiejo sustained minor injuries after struggling with deputies, officials said. Amy Rebiejo did not require any medical treatment.
Deputies obtained a search warrant for the home. Deputies said they found numerous firearms which included an unregistered AR-15 assault rifle and AK-47.
According to officials, Carl Rebiejo fired several rounds in the backyard. Deputies also discovered one of the handguns found was reported as stolen out of Los Angeles.
Carl Rebiejo was arrested and booked into the Central Receiving Facility for reckless discharge of a firearm, possession of the unregistered assault rifles, possession of stolen property, and resisting a peace officer.
Amy Rebiejo was arrested and booked into the Central Receiving Facility for assault on a peace officer and resisting a peace officer.

This second baby will be a piece of cake, I thought. My first labour was just four hours and I was determined this was going to be similar.
We were five days overdue with our second child and I was waiting for my midwife visit. As we were doing the examination we found out I was already 5cm dilated, with me not feeling a thing. Great, I thought, I will have this baby out in no time.
So I called my husband, Chris, to come home from work. We managed to go grocery shopping, toy shopping for a birthday party we had to attend that weekend, and then home to put everything away.
Chris was looking a little off, and also I noticed he was getting a rash up his arms. In about half an hour it was all over his body.
So off to emergency doctors we went, and in the car I had my first contraction. Once we were at the emergency doctors we were quickly taken in to the resus room, as Chris had told them I was in labour and he was having an allergic reaction. They didn't know what to be more concerned about.
So for an hour and a half, I was having contractions, while Chris was on a drip. He was given a shot of pethidine to help with the allergic reaction, but of course that meant he was unable to drive.
When were allowed to go home, I had to drive. We tried to take the quickest route but Murphy's Law meant we hit every single red light we could.
Once we got home (with many tears from me), my contractions went in to high gear with one every two to three minutes, lasting a minute each time. We called the midwife and said we would be going to the maternity unit and to meet us there, to which she responded she would be there in about 30-45 minutes.
Rushed off to the birthing unit, with my own midwife nowhere to be seen, I was appointed two student midwives and a senior midwife. I hopped in to the pool and 10 minutes later our beautiful daughter was here .
A grand total of two hours from start to finish, my husband was so relieved to have been at the birth, and he has strict instructions to not eat out for the week I am due for our next baby May 13, 2013.

Kerberos |
This chapter describes how to use Kerberos with Lustre and includes the following sections:
Kerberos is a mechanism for authenticating all entities (such as users and services) on an "unsafe" network. Users and services, known as "principals", share a secret password (or key) with the Kerberos server. This key enables principals to verify that messages from the Kerberos server are authentic. By trusting the Kerberos server, users and services can authenticate one another.
Caution - Kerberos is a future Lustre feature that is not available in current versions. If you want to test Kerberos with a pre-release version of Lustre, check out the Lustre source from the CVS repository and build it. For more information on checking out Lustre source code, see CVS. |
Setting up Lustre with Kerberos can provide advanced security protections for the Lustre network. Broadly, Kerberos offers three types of benefit:
Kerberos uses the "kernel keyring" client upcall mechanism.
This section describes supported Kerberos distributions and how to set up and configure Kerberos on Lustre.
Lustre supports the following Kerberos distributions:
On a number of operating systems, the Kerberos RPMs are installed when the operating system is first installed. To determine if Kerberos RPMs are installed on your OS, run:
# rpm -qa | grep krb
If Kerberos is installed, the command returns a list like this:
krb5-devel-1.4.3-5.1 krb5-libs-1.4.3-5.1 krb5-workstation-1.4.3-5.1 pam_krb5-2.2.6-2.2
Note - The Heimdal implementation of Kerberos is not currently supported on Lustre, although it support will be added in an upcoming release. |
To set up Lustre with Kerberos:
1. Configure NTP to synchronize time across all machines.
3. Verify that there are fully-qualified domain names (FQDNs), that are resolvable in both forward and reverse directions for all servers. This is required by Kerberos.
4. On every node, install flowing packages:
Some newer Linux distributions include libgssapi by default. If you do not have libgssapi, build and install it from source:
To configure Lustre for Kerberos:
1. Configure the client nodes.
a. For each client node, create a lustre_root principal and generate the keytab.
kadmin> addprinc -randkey lustre_root/client_host.domain@REALM kadmin> ktadd -e aes128-cts:normal lustre_root/client_host.domain@REALM
b. Install the keytab on the client node.
a. For each MDS node, create a lustre_mds principal and generate the keytab.
kadmin> addprinc -randkey lustre_mds/mdthost.domain@REALM kadmin> ktadd -e aes128-cts:normal lustre_mds/mdthost.domain@REALM
b. Install the keytabl on the MDS node.
a. For each OSS node, create a lustre_oss principal and generate the keytab.
kadmin> addprinc -randkey lustre_oss/osthost.domain@REALM kadmin> ktadd -e aes128-cts:normal lustre_oss/osshost.domain@REALM
b. Install the keytab on the OSS node.
For MIT Kerberos 1.3.x, only des-cbc-md5 works because of a known issue between libgssapi and the Kerberos library.
To configure Kerberos to work with Lustre:
1. Modify the files for Kerberos:
$ /etc/krb5.conf [libdefaults] default_realm = CLUSTERFS.COM [realms] CLUSTERFS.COM = { kdc = mds16.clustrefs.com admin_server = mds16.clustrefs.com } [domain_realm] .clustrefs.com = CLUSTERFS.COM clustrefs.com = CLSUTREFS.COM [logging] default = FILE:/var/log/kdc.log
2. Prepare the Kerberos database.
3. Create service principals so Lustre supports Kerberos authentication.
Note - You can create service principals when configuring your other services to support Kerberos authentication. |
4. Configure the client nodes. For each client node:
a. Create a lustre_root principal and generate the keytab:
kadmin> addprinc -randkey lustre_root/client_host.domain@REALM kadmin> ktadd -e aes128-cts:normal lustre_root/client_host.domain@REALM
This process populates /etc/krb5.keytab, which is not human-readable. Use the ktutil program to read and modify it.
5. Configure the MDS nodes. For each MDT node, create a lustre_mds principal, and generate and install the keytab.
kadmin> addprinc -randkey lustre_mds/mdthost.domain@REALM kadmin> ktadd -e aes128-cts:normal lustre_mds/mdthost.domain@REALM
6. Configure the OSS nodes. For each OST node, create a lustre_oss principal, and generate and install the keytab.
kadmin> addprinc -randkey lustre_oss/oss_host.domain@REALM kadmin> ktadd -e aes128-cts:normal lustre_oss/oss_host.domain@REALM
To save the trouble of assigning a unique keytab for each client node, create a general lustre_root principal and its keytab, and then install the keytab on as many client nodes as needed.
kadmin> addprinc -randkey lustre_root@REALM kadmin> ktadd -e aes128-cts:normal lustre_root@REALM
Note - If one client is compromised, all client nodes become insecure. |
For more detailed information on installing and configuring Kerberos, see:
Perform the following steps to configure the system and network to use Kerberos.
1. On each MDT, OST, and client node, add the following line to /etc/fstab to mount them automatically.
nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd nfsd defaults 0 0
2. On each MDT and client node, dd the following line to /etc/request-key.conf.
create lgssc * * /usr/sbin/lgss_keyring %o %k %t %d %c %u %g %T %P %S
If your network is not using SOCKLND or InfiniBand (and uses Quadrics, Elan or Myrinet, for example), configure a /etc/lustre/nid2hostname (simple script that translates a NID to a hostname) on each server node (MDT and OST). This is an example on an Elan cluster:
#!/bin/bash set -x exec 2>/tmp/$(basename $0).debug # convert a NID for a LND to a hostname, for GSS for example # called with three arguments: lnd netid nid # $lnd will be string "QSWLND", "GMLND", etc. # $netid will be number in hex string format, like "0x16", etc. # $nid has the same format as $netid # output the corresponding hostname, or error message leaded by a '@' for error logging. lnd=$1 netid=$2 nid=$3 # uppercase the hex nid=$(echo $nid | tr '[abcdef]' '[ABCDEF]') # and convert to decimal nid=$(echo -e "ibase=16\n${nid/#0x}" | bc) case $lnd in QSWLND) # simply stick "mtn" on the front echo "mtn$nid" ;; *) echo "@unknown LND: $lnd" ;; esac
If you are compiling the kernel from the source, enable GSS during configuration:
# ./configure --with-linux=path_to_linux_source --enable-gss - other-options
When you enable Lustre with GSS, the configuration script checks all dependencies, like Kerberos and libgssapi installation, and in-kernel Sun RPC-related facilities. When you install lustre-xxx.rpm on target machines, RPM again checks for dependencies like Kerberos and libgssapi.
If you turn on GSS between an MDT-OST or MDT-MDT, GSS treats the MDT as a client. You should run lgssd on the MDT.
There are two types of GSS daemons: lgssd and lsvcgssd. Before starting Lustre, make sure they are running on each node:
We are maintaining a patch against nfs-utils, and bringing necessary patched files into the Lustre tree. After a successful build, GSS daemons are built under lustre/utils/gss and are part of lustre-xxxx.rpm.
There are three major flavors in which you can configure Lustre with Kerberos:
Select a flavor depending on your priorities and preferences.
Currently, we support six basic flavors: null, plain, krb5n, krb5a, krb5i, and krb5p.
Almost no performance overhead. The on-wire RPC data is compatible with old versions of Lustre (1.4.x, 1.6.x). |
Carries checksum (which only protects data mutating during transfer, cannot guarantee the genuine author because there is no actual authentication). |
No protection of the RPC message, adler32 checksum protection of bulk data; light performance overhead. |
Only the header of the RPC message is integrity protected, adler32 checksum protection of bulk data, more performance overhead compared to krb5n. |
RPC message integrity protection algorithm is determined by actual Kerberos algorithms in use; heavy performance overhead. |
RPC message privacy protection algorithm is determined by actual Kerberos algorithms in use; heaviest performance overhead. |
A security flavor is a string that describes what kind of security transform is performed on a given PTLRPC connection. It covers two parts of messages, the RPC message and BULK data. You can set either part in one of the following modes:
In most situations, you do not need a customized flavor, a basic flavor is sufficient for regular use. But to some extent, you can customize the flavor string. The flavor string format is:
Here are some examples of customized flavors:
Use plain on the RPC message (null protection), and no protection on the bulk transfer.
Use krb5i on the RPC message, but do not protect the bulk transfer.
Use krb5p on the RPC message, and protect data integrity of the bulk transfer.
Use krb5p on the RPC message, and protect data privacy of the bulk transfer by algorithm SHA512 and AES256.
Currently, Lustre supports these bulk data cryptographic algorithms:
If you have not specified a security flavor, the CLIENT-MDT connection defaults to plain, and all other connections use null.
When mounting OST or MDT devices, add the mount option (shown below) to specify the security flavor:
# mount -t lustre -o sec=plain /dev/sda1 /mnt/mdt/
This means all connections to this device will use the plain flavor. You can split this sec=flavor as:
# mount -t lustre -o sec_mdt={flavor1},sec_cli={flavor1}/dev/sda \ /mnt/mdt/
This means connections from other MDTs to this device will use flavor1, and connections from all clients to this device will use flavor2.
You can also specify the security flavors by specifying on-disk parameters on OST and MDT devices:
# tune2fs -o security.rpc.mdt=flavor1 -o security.rpc.cli=flavor2 \ device
On-disk parameters are overridden by mount options.
Root on client node mounts Lustre without any special tricks.
The general rules and syntax for using Kerberos are:
mgs> lctl conf_param lustre.srpc.flavor.default=krb5i
mgs> lctl conf_param lustre.srpc.flavor.tcp0=krb5p mgs> lctl conf_param lustre.srpc.flavor.default=null
mgs> lctl conf_param lustre.srpc.flavor.tcp0=krb5p mgs> lctl conf_param lustre.srpc.flavor.elan1=plain mgs> lctl conf_param lustre.srpc.flavor.default.cli2mdt=krb5i mgs> lctl conf_param lustre.srpc.flavor.default.cli2ost=krb5i mgs> lctl conf_param lustre.srpc.flavor.default.mdt2mdt=null mgs> lctl conf_param lustre.srpc.flavor.default.mdt2ost=plain
On client nodes, non-root users must use kinit to access Lustre (just like other Kerberized applications). kinit is used to obtain and cache Kerberos ticket-granting tickets. Two requirements to authenticating users:
To destroy the established security contexts before logging out, run lfs flushctx:
# lfs flushctx [-k]
Here -k also means destroy the on-disk Kerberos credential cache. It is equivalent to kdestroy. Otherwise, it only destroys established contexts in the Lustre kernel.

GAMING NEWSSakaguchi Comments On Graphics Vs. GameplayPosted on Monday, February 6 @ 09:12:01 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack
He went on to mention that graphics don't have to play as big of a role in making a game successful. Is that really true, though? If you look at virtually every game that has sold over a million copies this generation, one quality they share is that they look good (i.e. Gran Turismo 5, Gears of War 3, StarCraft II). But then again, they all play exceptionally as well. More from the Game Revolution Network comments powered by Disqus |

Summon Your Inner Monet With Waterlogue
Hi there! It's been a while (understatement) but I'm back with another instalment of Lee's App of the Week!
An Audience with Alien: Isolation
The original Alien is an incredible film. Arguably the granddaddy of space horror, it took the 70's corporation paranoia into the black, littered flawed and earnest characters throughout a floating factory and gave birth - quite literally - to one of the most terrifying creatures in cinema history.
Killzone, Prometheus, Zero Dark Thirty - want to find out more?
If you're aware of Killzone, Formula 1, Zero Dark Thirty and Prometheus, then you're aware of Territory Studios.

Flappy Bird, no longer the word?
You may have been swept up by the recent craze that is Flappy Bird, and if this really is the case, I'm glad this is a one way interaction, because I'm one of those people who was able to decidedly detest the game before I even got a chance to play it. I have had it up to my wits end hearing about your latest time consuming app-addictions, and I am ecstatic about the following news…
Cancer Research UK host Game Jam, the result? Genes in Space.
Every now and then, pieces of technology (and those who create it) come along and make people say 'wow'. Whether it be a mad VFX shot created by a 3D whiz, or an app you use daily that makes you say "WHY DID I NOT THINK OF THIS BEFORE!?", more and more people are getting to grips with the building blocks of the digital world, and these kind of occurrences are only going to become more frequent.
Superbowl Commercials - VFX wins!
I have intentionally waited until the afternoon to post this blog, so that all of you UK based sports fans that actually stayed awake to watch the coverage of the Superbowl last night, are now wide awake! So if you've finished your belated breakfast and have washed the beer stains out of your team jersey, then please cast your mind back to approximately 16 hours ago.
How's your artistic vision?
2D whiz Simon Richardson gave us a window of time recently to get our hands in his brain, and find out exactly what it takes to be a compositor. This unsung art form is one of the most important in VFX and more often than not, a viewer will have been fooled by the artistry of a compositor before any acting in a scene has even happened.

Economist: unemployment benefit cuts hurt
SUNBURY – Roughly 1.3-million out of work Americans lost their unemployment benefits on December 28, after Congress declined to renew an emergency aid program for the jobless. Stephen Stamos, emeritus professor of international relations from Bucknell University says these cuts hurt many people.
Stamos said, "The long-term unemployed have become victimized in our society today in our news and our political process. We are talking about a very large number of people. Out of the 10-million people officially unemployed, 5-million have been unemployed longer than 36 weeks. We are talking about people now having been unemployed for 99 weeks and cutting off their benefits."
Stamos says Congress is making a mistake in cutting these benefits. Stamos said, "I think the country does not spend enough time thinking about who these people are. In fact, by the end of the year, the first wave of the people being cut off represent about 1.3-million people. There are subsequent waves of people this year that will follow them, in which case, this year alone will represent about 5-million people having their benefits cut off."
Senate Democrats have said they will continue to try to renew the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program for another year, which would cost about $25.2-billion. You can hear more from Professor Stamos from WKOK Sunrise online at www.wkok.com. (Ali Stevens)

The Giant's Causeway (known as Clochán an Aifir or Clochán na bhFomhórach in Irish and tha Giant's Causey in Ulster-Scots) is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption.
It is located in County Antrim on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland, about three miles (4.8 km) northeast of the town of Bushmills. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986, and a National Nature Reserve in 1987 by the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland. In a 2005 poll of Radio Times readers, the Giant's Causeway was named as the fourth greatest natural wonder in the United Kingdom. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although there are also some with four, five, seven or eight sides. The tallest are about 12 metres (39 ft) high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres (92 ft) thick in places.
The Giant's Causeway is today owned and managed by the National Trust and it is the most popular tourist attraction in Northern Ireland.
Some 50 to 60 million years ago, during the Paleogene period, Antrim was subject to intense volcanic activity, when highly fluid molten basalt intruded through chalk beds to form an extensive lava plateau. As the lava cooled rapidly, contraction occurred. Horizontal contraction fractured in a similar way to drying mud, with the cracks propagating down as the mass cooled, leaving pillarlike structures, which are also fractured horizontally into "biscuits". In many cases the horizontal fracture has resulted in a bottom face that is convex while the upper face of the lower segment is concave, producing what are called "ball and socket" joints. The size of the columns is primarily determined by the speed at which lava from a volcanic eruption cools. The extensive fracture network produced the distinctive columns seen today. The basalts were originally part of a great volcanic plateau called the Thulean Plateau which formed during the Paleogene period.
According to legend, the columns are the remains of a causeway built by a giant. The story goes that the Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn MacCool) was challenged to a fight by the Scottish giant Benandonner. Fionn accepted the challenge and built the causeway across the North Channel so that the two giants could meet. In one version of the story, Fionn defeats Benandonner. In another, Fionn hides from Benandonner when he realises that his foe is much bigger than him. Fionn's wife, Úna, disguises Fionn as a baby and tucks him in a cradle. When Benandonner sees the size of the 'baby', he reckons that its father, Fionn, must be a giant among giants. He flees back to Scotland in fright, destroying the causeway behind him so that Fionn could not follow. Across the sea, there are identical basalt columns (a part of the same ancient lava flow) at Fingal's Cave on the Scottish isle of Staffa, and it is possible that the story was influenced by this.
In Irish mythology, Fionn mac Cumhaill is not a giant but a hero with supernatural abilities. In Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry (1888) it is noted that, over time, "the pagan gods of Ireland [...] grew smaller and smaller in the popular imagination, until they turned into the fairies; the pagan heroes grew bigger and bigger, until they turned into the giants". There are no surviving pre-Christian stories about the Giant's Causeway. However, it may have originally been associated with the Fomorians (Fomhóraigh); the Irish name Clochán na bhFomhóraigh or Clochán na bhFomhórach means "stepping stones of the Fomhóraigh". The Fomhóraigh are a race of supernatural beings in Irish mythology who were sometimes described as giants and who may have originally been part of a pre-Christian pantheon.
The discovery of the Giant's Causeway was announced to the wider world in 1693 by the presentation of a paper to the Royal Society from Sir Richard Bulkeley, a fellow of Trinity College, Dublin, although the discoverer had, in fact, been the Bishop of Derry who had visited the site a year earlier. The site received international attention when Dublin artist Susanna Drury made watercolour paintings of it in 1739; they won Drury the first award presented by the Royal Dublin Society in 1740 and were engraved in 1743. In 1765 an entry on the Causeway appeared in volume 12 of the French Encyclopédie, which was informed by the engravings of Drury's work; the engraving of the "East Prospect" itself appeared in a 1768 volume of plates published for the Encyclopédie. In the caption to the plates French geologist Nicolas Desmarest suggested, for the first time in print, that such structures were volcanic in origin.
The site first became popular with tourists during the nineteenth century, particularly after the opening of the Giant's Causeway Tramway, and only after the National Trust took over its care in the 1960s were some of the vestiges of commercialism removed. Visitors can walk over the basalt columns which are at the edge of the sea, a half-mile walk from the entrance to the site.
The Causeway was without a permanent visitors' centre between 2000 and 2012, as the previous building burned down in 2000. Public money was set aside to construct a new centre and, following an architectural competition, a proposal was accepted to build a new centre, designed by Dublin architectural practice Heneghan Peng, which was to be set into the ground to reduce impact to the landscape. A privately financed proposal was given preliminary approval in 2007 by the Environment Minister and DUP member Arlene Foster. However, the public money that had been allocated was frozen as a disagreement developed about the relationship between the private developer Seymour Sweeney and the DUP. It was also debated whether a private interest should be permitted to benefit from the site – given its cultural and economic importance and as it is largely owned by the National Trust. Coleraine Borough Council voted against the private plans and in favour of a public development project, and Moyle District Council similarly signalled its displeasure and gave the land on which the previous visitors' centre stood to the National Trust. This gave the Trust control of both the Causeway and surrounding land. Ultimately Mr. Sweeney dropped a legal challenge to the publicly funded plan.
The new visitor centre was officially opened by First Minister Peter Robinson and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness in July 2012, with funding having been raised from the National Trust, the Northern Ireland Tourist Board, the Heritage Lottery Fund and public donations. Since opening, the new visitor centre has garnered very mixed reviews from those visiting the Causeway for its pricing, design, contents and placement across the causeway walk descent
There was some controversy regarding the content of some exhibits in the visitor centre, which refer to the Young Earth Creationist view of the age of the Earth. While these inclusions were welcomed by the chairman of the Northern Irish evangelical group, the Caleb Foundation, the National Trust stated that the inclusions formed only a small part of the exhibition and that the Trust "fully supports the scientific explanation for the creation of the stones 60 million years ago." An online campaign to remove creationist material was launched in 2012, and following this, the Trust carried out a review and concluded that they should be amended to have the scientific explanation on the causeway's origin as their primary emphasis. Creationist explanations are still mentioned, but presented as a traditional belief of some religious communities rather than a competing explanation for the causeway's origins.
Some of the structures in the area, having been subject to several million years of weathering, resemble objects, such as the Organ and Giant's Boot structures. Other features include many reddish, weathered low columns known as Giants Eyes, created by the displacement of basalt boulders; the Shepherd's Steps; the Honeycomb; the Giant's Harp; the Chimney Stacks; the Giant's Gate and the Camel's Hump.
The Giant's Boot
Basalt columns
The Chimney Stacks
The area is a haven for sea birds such as fulmar, petrel, cormorant, shag, redshank guillemot and razorbill, while the weathered rock formations host a number of rare and unusual plants including sea spleenwort, hare's foot trefoil, vernal squill, sea fescue and frog orchid.
A stromatolite colony was reportedly found at the Giants Causeway in October 2011 – an unusual find as stromatolites are more commonly found in warmer waters with higher saline content than that found at the causeway.
Although the basaltic columns of the Giant's Causeway are impressive, they are not unique. Basalt columns are a common volcanic feature, and they occur on many scales (because faster cooling produces smaller columns).
The Belfast-Derry railway line run by Northern Ireland Railways connects to Coleraine and along the Coleraine-Portrush branch line to Portrush. Local Ulsterbus provide connections to the railway stations. There is a scenic walk of 7 miles from Portrush alongside Dunluce Castle and the Giant's Causeway and Bushmills Railway.

"We liked this invitation because of the clear cut message it sends. It goes against the traditional wedding invitation in just about every way. We like that we were able to customize the text to read how we wanted and we weren't stuck with the one that came. The free colors were limited, but we were able to make them work for us without paying for a custom color. They are thick and hefty and the printing is very professionally done. We can't wait to send them out and get the reactions of the recipients."
"This invite is even better in person than I imagined. The paper is great quality and the foil press is amazing! I also got the gold envelopes which are great quality and much better in person as well!"
"Beautiful ! I can't wait to send out my wedding invitations . The person who was helping me here did a great job ! I will be using this website for future parties !"
"We added the scalloped trim to this card and loved how it turned out so well that we used it throughout our wedding! I got lots of compliments on this invitation, and being able to personalize it with our own photo allowed us to truly make our love for one another come through. The only downside was that my initial order of invitations never arrived. After contacting WPD about this they found the issue and promptly re-printed and re-sent my order asap without any additional cost to me. It could have been a catastrophic problem, but the excellent customer service department ensured this didn't happen."
"I thought this was very well organized and so easy to read! It's got a very 20's/ Great Gatsby vibe. Just make sure you like gold glitter, although not real glitter, those sparkles really stand out."
