Hu (surname)
|Chinese name

|Japanese name
Hu 胡 is a Chinese surname or family name. In 2006, it was the 15th most common surname in China.[1][2]
Some other less-common surnames pronounced Hu include 瓠, 護, 戶, 扈, 虎, 呼, 忽, and 斛.
The one Chinese character 胡 was used for many hu words besides the Hu surname.
In Classical Chinese, hu 胡 meant: "dewlap; wattle" and was a variant Chinese character for "how; why; what" (he 何), "long-lasting; far-reaching" (xia 遐), "part of a dagger-axe", hu- in "butterfly" (hudie 蝴蝶), and "Northern Barbarians".[3]
In Modern Standard Mandarin, hu 胡 means: "foreign" (e.g., huqin 胡琴 "two-stringed bowed instruments"), "recklessly; irrelevantly" (hushuo 胡說 "talk nonsense; drivel"), "dewlap", (literary) "why; when; how", "Surname", and (historical) "non-Han peoples in the northwest" (Huren 胡人 "the Northern tribes"); or 胡 is a variant character for hu 鬍 (huzi 胡子/鬍子"moustache; beard; whiskers; bandit") and hu 衚 (hutong 胡同/衚衕 "lane; alley").[4] Compare Honghuzi 紅胡子 (literally "Red Beards") "bandits in the Sino-Russian borderlands".
In a religious context, "HU" is woven into the language of life. It is the Sound of all sounds. It is the wind in the leaves, falling rain, thunder of jets, singing of birds, the awful rumble of a tornado. . . . Its sound is heard in laughter, weeping, the din of city traffic, ocean waves, and the quiet rippling of a mountain stream. And yet, the word HU is not God. It is a word people anywhere can use to address the Originator of Life. —Harold Klemp
Non-Chinese peoples and ethnic minorities in China sometimes took the Chinese exonym for their ethnic group as their surname. The best example is Hu 胡, which was anciently used to refer to "barbarian" groups on the northern and western frontiers of China. In modern usage, this common Hu surname is semantically neutral and no longer has derogatory or pejorative connotations. In addition, some individuals adopted Chinese surnames that sound similar to their names, such as Hu from Husaiyin 胡赛因 "Husayn (Hussain, Hussein, etc.)".
Within the ancient Chinese Sinocentric worldview (see Hua-Yi distinction), the central Hua or Huaxia 華夏 "Chinese" were encircled by "non-Chinese peoples, foreigners", many of whom were pejoratively named with Chinese "barbarian" exonyms (e.g., Nanman 南蠻 "Southern Barbarians" and Beidi 北狄 "Northern Barbarians"). Hu 胡 was the exonym for several "barbarian, non-Chinese" peoples. For instance, Jiehu 羯胡 for the Jie "a branch of the Xiongnu" or Qianghu 羌胡 for the Qiang "ancient nationality in West China".
Hu 胡 is used for various northern and western peoples of non-Chinese stock. It was commonly used for people of Persian, Sogdian, Turkish, Xianbi, Indian and Kushan origin and, occasionally, for the Xiongnu (probably because of their connections with the Tonghu or Eastern Hu – a separate tribe conquered by the Xiongnu).[5]
Two historically significant Hu names are this Donghu 東胡 (literally "Eastern Barbarians") "ancient Mongolian nomadic group" and the Wu Hu 五胡 ("Five Barbarians") "five nomadic tribes involved in the Wu Hu uprising" (304-316 CE) against the Jin Dynasty.
The Hu 胡 surname's historical origins are uncertain, and Chinese scholars have proposed four hypotheses.[6] First, Hu could derive from the family of Hu Gongman 胡公滿 "Duke Man of Hu". King Wu of Zhou (r. 1046-043 BCE) enfeoffed his son-in-law Gui Man 媯滿 (supposedly a descendent of the mythical ruler Shun) with the state of Chen 陳 (in modern Henan Province) and titled him Hu Gong 胡公 "Duke of Hu". When Chu (state) annexed Chen in 479 BCE, the Hu family name was replaced by the Chen (surname) 陳. Second, Hu could derive from two Zhou vassal states named Hu 胡, one located near Luohe (Henan Province) or another near Fuyang (Anhui Province). Third, Hu could derive from non-Chinese people adopting it as their surname. For example, in the 496 Change of Xianbei names to Han names, Hegu/Gegu 紇骨 was changed to Hu 胡. Fourth, Hu could derive from the clan name of the ancient Tiele people 敕勒 within the Xiongnu confederation.
Hu (Foochow Romanized: Hù; POJ: Hô or Ô) was also one of the eight surnames of the first Han Chinese clans who first moved out the Central Plains into Fujian province (八姓入閩; Foochow Romanized: Báik Sáng Ĭk Mìng) during the Wu Hu uprising.
The Hồ 胡 clan which founded the Hồ dynasty in Vietnam originated in Zhejiang province of China.[7][8]
The surname 虎 (Hǔ), which means "Tiger", is rare in China to the point where a lot of people are not aware that it is used as a surname. Some believe it came from the name of a 4,300 year old chancellor while others believe it originates among the Hui Muslim minority.[9][10][11][12][13]

With hits such as Avatar and Terminator Salvation under his belt, it's clear Sam Worthington is the action hero of the day.
RadarOnline.com's Tina Malave was front and center at the Hollywood premiere of Worthington's new film Clash of the Titans Wednesday night, and talked shop with the hunky actor and his colleagues about the fast track his career is on.
PHOTOS: Sam Worthington Makes Men's Fitness Magazine Hottest Male Bodies List
Worthington said being Hollywood's new go-to "it" guy is "nerve-racking," while his peers gushed about his well-deserved success.
"He had an extraordinary career in Australia, he's been working a very long time and he's been in some amazing films," his Clash co-star Alexa Davalos told us. "Nobody deserves this more than he does, and he's an extraordinary guy and he will not change, he's always been steadfastly himself and it's a breath of fresh air to see that."

The film's director, Louis Leterrier, called Worthington "the best actor ever, and such a human man and a great, great friend."
Also at the premiere was Dancing with the Stars hunk Maksim Chmerkovskiy, and we asked him about the sexy goddesses that are featured in the mythology-based film, and which one he liked the most.
"Just the ones you have fun with," Chmerkovskiy said. "Not the ones that turn you to stone — those I've had enough of."

Former Mavericks guard Delonte West is desperate to get back into the NBA, and even though he has a possible 10 day contract with Grizzlies pending, ESPN Dallas is reporting that West has entered his name into the D-League pool. The specifics are if the Grizzlies don't sign West, he could jump right to the front of the list in the pool, which would allow him to play for Texas Legends, who are an affiliate of the Mavs. Sources say West would prefer the league stint in hopes of earning his way back on to the Mavericks roster. A source close to West told Jeff "Skin" Wade of the Ben and Skin Show on ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM that the guard prefers a potential situation with the Legends to the Grizzlies scenario in hopes that a good showing with the D-League team could put him back into favor with the Mavs, who released him before the regular season began. One can only assume West thinks the Mavs are so bad, he can get on the team and ball out.

Total Environmental Concepts, Inc. (TEC) Acquires UXO Pro, Inc.
This month Total Environmental Concepts, Inc. (TEC-http://www.totalenvironmental.net), the 8th largest environmental company in Washington, DC metro area as ranked by The Washington Business Journal, acquired UXO Pro, based in Alexandria, VA. This marks the first acquisition for TEC and reflects a period of steady growth and earnings for the 10-year old environmental construction and consulting company.
Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) July 21, 2011
Locally headquartered in Gaithersburg, MD with offices in Alexandria, VA, Richmond, VA and Glen Burnie, MD, geographic expansion beyond the metro area became a priority for TEC's senior management team in 2010. UXO Pro is a 12 year-old company specializing in assisting state environmental regulators in the management of munitions and explosives of concern (MEC), unexploded ordinance investigation and cleanup projects on DoD base closures and formerly used defense sites (FUDS). A spike in recent military base closures has prompted an increased need as contaminated federal properties are returned to to state or private ownership.
"TEC's growth goals require geographic expansion in addition to expanding our core competencies," explained John Ray, former Army officer and one of two TEC principals. "Since UXO Pros's current client base of state regulatory agencies requires the precise type of environmental consulting support that TEC currently offers, a unique synergistic relationship has been born."
"To scale my business, I realized I needed to focus my efforts on business development and addressing the myriad of referrals I receive from current clients," said UXO Pro President and General Manager James Pastorick, a former Navy officer. "TEC's back office support and seasoned infrastructure will enable us to hire new technically qualified managers to concentrate on our clients' needs, while expanding our service offerings through TEC's broad qualifications."
As a wholly owned subsidiary of TEC, UXO Pro will retain its name, web address, (http://www.uxopro.com) and company points of contact, in order to provide a seamless transition to its client base and maintain high brand recognition in this niche industry. Since the acquisition, UXO Pro immediately made a strategic hire, growing TEC's total workforce to 66 team members. TEC is now poised to achieve or exceed its 2011 growth goals while it continues scanning for new expansion opportunities.

Evan Longoria hits three homers in Rays' finale
Oct 3, 2012, 9:53 PM EDT
Evan Longoria hit solo homers his first three times up against the Orioles before grounding out in his fourth and final at-bat in the Rays' 4-1 victory Wednesday.
Longoria entered with 14 homers in 73 games this season. He took Chris Tillman deep in the first and fourth innings tonight and then delivered again versus Jake Arrieta in the sixth. He came up in the eighth with a chance to become the 17th major leaguer to hit four homers in a game, but he rolled out to third.
Longoria also homered twice against the Yankees in the last game of 2011, so he seems to have a thing for season finales. The Rays should tell him next year to play every game like it's his last.

Oh, and message to the Yankees from the Rays: you're welcome.
- kkolchak - Oct 3, 2012 at 10:04 PM
Much as I hate the Yankees, I have to mention that they are up 12-2 and really didn't need the Rays' help.
Now the Rangers on the other hand should be thankful to the Rays because now the O's are tied with them at 93-69, meaning the WC play in game will be held in Texas instead of Crabtown.
- raysfan1 - Oct 3, 2012 at 11:11 PM
Oh I know, but there was a lot of cheering at Yankee Stadium when the Rays' score flashed on their scoreboard, so the "you're welcome" still applies.
As for the Rangers, well, the Rays needed them to come up big against the A's, and they failed in spades. If they win 4 of their last 6 against the A's, not only dothey win their division with the best record I the AL, the Rays get into the playoffs. So while, the Rangers may owe a little thanks to the Rays, they are not welcome. There, mini-rant over, I feel better now.
- kkolchak - Oct 3, 2012 at 10:01 PM
So I guess the O's reward for their special season is to have to go to Texas for a one-game WC play in and then face the Yankees in the first round. Wonder if Angelos is going to whine about that.
- thebadguyswon - Oct 3, 2012 at 10:03 PM
yeah….and if he was there all year they would have made the postseason.
- raysfan1 - Oct 3, 2012 at 11:17 PM
Perhaps so, but at the same time if you had offered in March to bet me that a team with 90 wins would miss the playoffs, I'd have taken it.
- florida76 - Oct 3, 2012 at 11:57 PM
90 or 95 wins, it's irrelevant since the Rays will miss the playoffs for the second time in the last four years. While Tampa Bay deserves credit for fielding a consistent winner, the reality is the decline since the 2008 miracle pennant winning year. In fact, 2010 and 2011, were first round exits, so we'll see what happens in 2013.
With continuing poor support, and the inevitable rejection of the new stadium concept, the future of the Rays is tenuous in the Tampa Bay area.
- raysfan1 - Oct 4, 2012 at 12:22 AM
I disagree. 90 wins is not irrelevant. Winning records are not easy, 5 straight winning records is even harder. I am not one who ascribes to the notion that only one team can ultimately have a good season.
I also do not think the Rays' departure from Florida is imminent. There is nowhere that they would not be a small market team unless somewhere like New York agreed to bring in a 3rd team. We'll see about stadium issues when the economy in Florida improves.
For 2013 there are changes that will need to happen to remain competitive/improve. Upton is probably gone and Pena needs to be. They need to take what money they can to get a first baseman who can hit. Replacing Upton will be harder. Perhaps they can via the trade route. We'll see.

In Tandem's 'Beast on the Moon' capture's young couple's struggles to move on from painful past
In the first scene of Richard Kalinoski's "Beast on the Moon" - now on stage in a beautiful and nuanced production at In Tandem's Tenth Street Theatre - 19-year-old Aram Tomasian learns that his newly arrived child bride is not the girl he'd been promised.
"I ordered the girl in this picture and they sent me someone else," Aram pouts. Yes, 15-year-old Seta replies, but "I am the same girl who wrote you." Eager to please but also slightly impish, Seta can't resist adding that she is also prettier than the pictured girl. »Read Full Article

Whats your top 10 of all time right now?

I am not imagining anything. Of course one cant guarantee Evert or Navratilova not winning the title all 8 times each lost in the semis, just as we cant guarantee them winning the title all 14 combined times they lost to one another in the finals. What we can safely believe though is that is LIKELY the vast majority of those 8 times they lost in the semis the losing semifinalist would have lost in the finals, and the vast majority of the 14 times they lost in the finals to one another the other would have won the title otherwise. I am pointing out the obvious, those periods they were playing in the semis there is a reason they were playing in the semis, one (or both) was not ranked in the top 2 in the World, and as that player ranked 3rd or often lower those times was the one usually losing in the semis, they were not the likely winner over the other higher ranked finalist even without the other thre. If you break down the 8 times one lost to the other in the semis, Navratilova or Evert would have been the underdog in all 8 finals had they won.
1975 U.S Open- Goolagong would have been heavy favorite over nowhere near prime Navratilova in final on clay.
1976 Wimbledon- Peak Goolagong would have again been heavy favorite over fat and still underachieving Navratilova.
1980 Wimbledon- Slumping and overweight Navratilova likely loses to Austin or Goolagong, or based on her late 1980 results a slew of other possible opponents pending her draw.
1981 U.S Open- Evert would have had decent chance vs Austin in final, although Tracy led her 9-4 from 79-81 and had spanked her in Canada recently.
1987 French/1987 Wimbledon/1988 Wimbledon- Graf was waiting in all the finals for aging Evert all 3 times, forget it (Evert's last ever win over Graf was early 86 before Graf had even won her first pro tournament).
1988 Australian- Graf was waiting in finals for aging/slumping Navratilova on slow bouncy hard courts. Again forget it.
The only one either had an even decent shot of winning without the other is Evert at the 81 U.S Open.
However really that isnt important to my point either. Since even if we count all the semifinal and final meetings we still have Navratilova beating Evert in 14 and Evert only Navratilova in 8, almost double for Navratilova beating Evert once again, so even someone delusional enough to believe most of the times they were losing in the semis they were going to win the title (despite that even the winning semifinalist who was generally the much stronger of the two at the given time of those semifinal meetings, 5 times out of those 8 went on to lose the final), Navratilova still denied Evert much more than vice versa, and had the clear upper hand in slams over Evert. Hence why Navratilova is rated multiple spots above Evert by so many people.
Of course Evert's amazing career deserves huge respect, but losing 13 times in a row to Navratilova and going 4-10 vs Navratilova in slam finals, is not going to be easily erased from peoples minds when they determine who was the better player. Furthermore many believe Navratilova is better than Graf, and most believe she is better than Court, while very few now believe Evert is better than Graf, and many dont even believe she was better than Court, so put that all together and naturally they will be often ranked 2-3 places apart atleast. People also remember Navratilova well into her 30s pushing Graf hard, and sometimes beating her. They also note Navratilova leading Graf 4-1 at the U.S Open, their most neutral possible meeting ground, despite Navratilova being 29 or older for 4 of those 5 meetings, she still won 4 of the 5 meetings, which doesnt look good at all for Graf in the comparision to Navratilova. Hence why many still think she is better despite Graf surpassing her singles record in most respects. By contrast they remember an aging Evert losing to Graf 8 times in a row and generally making virtually no impact at all (only 1 set won) once 16 year old Graf won her first tournament while Graf was only starting to head towards the start of her prime. Even much inferior players like Virginia Wade managed to beat Evert at an older age than Evert even once could manage to beat young Graf. So with Graf surpassing Evert's singles record as she also had Navratilova's, there is nothing about the Graf vs Evert confrontations which would help squeeze Evert about Graf despite Graf's greater slam count and general superior figures, the way Navratilova's meetings with Graf would, already putting a wedge between them in many lists, before even getting into the other players. On top of all that Navratilova's doubles record pulling her further ahead of Evert (and others like Graf who also did very little in doubles) to those who value doubles.

Hi All--
We operate and have installed many versions of WordPress and we have currently installed 3 fresh installs of WordPress 2.8.4. On all 3 installs we are having problems with the Media Library. The media library in not uploading the media file (images in this case) to the server nor resizing them.
We have created the "uploads" folder on the server as well as changed the permissions to fully writable 777.
Is there something that we are missing?
Is there a problem with the version of WordPress and the media libaray?
Thanks in advance.

[b]Women create a partnership to help small businesses succeed[/b]
Posted by Kim
Tonya Ness
By Lucy Halverson
Four entrepreneurial women from around the state launched a new business called Frontier Partners January 1 in Kennebec. The business chose Kennebec for their headquarters because of the central location.
Tonya Ness, Kennebec has formed a partnership with associates, Holly Remund, Huron; Dawn Mutchelknaus, Huron; and Cary Griswold, Rapid City to offer small businesses affordable services they need to succeed in business.
"Frontier Partners, your working partner," is available to help small business with business planning and problem solving the business may not have the expertise to handle," stated Ness. Frontier Partners, with nearly 40 years of combined work experience in communication, business marketing, agriculture, and accounting offers strategic planning, feasibility studies, and grant writing services. "If we don't have the expertise to handle your business needs, we have a network of professional contacts to confer with," Ness added. Frontier Partners are now accepting clients from around the state.
Ness resigned as executive secretary of the South Dakota Cattlemen December 31, after nine years with the non-profit organization. The Cattlemen moved their headquarters from Kennebec to Pierre January 8, 2004. Ness, who purchased the old clinic building on Kennebec's Main Street, had rented office space to the Cattlemen.
Dawn (Larson) Mutchelknaus has roots in the Kennebec area as her family lived on the Medicine Creek Ranch north of Kennebec back in the late 70's and early 80's.
The other two partners, Remund and Griswold come from rural South Dakota backgrounds.
The phone number for Frontier Partners is 869-2257. The partners expect their web site, www.frontierpartners.net to be up and running by February 1.
Interested parties are encouraged to stop by Frontier Partner's booth at the upcoming Kennebec Business Appreciation night February 7 at the Kennebec gym.
According to Ness, as their slogans states, they will be 'your working partner' in helping your business be successful.

The Greenfield School District will hire both an interim superintendent and an interim business manager until candidates can be found to fill both positions permanently, the School Board decided Monday.
Superintendent Conrad Farner departed last week to take a job as human resources director for the Cedarburg School District.
Kristen Kollath, director of business services, will leave next month to accept a position with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
The board had offered the interim superintendent position to Todd Bugnacki, director of elementary education, but he said he had to decline because of pressing needs in his current position. He was invited to apply for the superintendent's job.
To get the best candidate for superintendent, the board wanted to take its time with an eye to filling the position at least by July 1. There was a feeling that the appointment should be made considerably earlier so the new superintendent can help choose a business manager.
The superintendent and business manager work so closely together that a good match was felt to be important.

21 Inspiring Things You Need To Do The Summer Before College
School's out FOREVER. (Until next Fall.)
1. Grab that book you've been meaning to read, this is one of the precious few summers you won't have to read anything for school.
2. Do something you've always been too afraid to try.
But nothing, like, too crazy.
3. Throw a fancy theme party so you can wear your prom dress again.
And rock the hairstyle you didn't try at prom.
4. Drive around for no reason, roll the windows down, blast your favorite song.
And when people stare, just smile and wave.
5. Fall head over heels into summer love.
You're only young once.
6. Start and finish a creative project.
You probably won't have a lot of time once the semester starts.
7. Take too many pictures, you'll want all of them someday.
You might remember the big moments, but over time, you'll forget the wonderful details.
8. Go to the a theme park with your friends and make a pact to ride every roller coaster.
And if you hate roller coasters, make a pact to play every cheesy game in the park.
9. And eat Dippin' Dots and cotton candy all day.
Your stomach won't be this youthful and resilient forever.
10. Make some mischief.
*relatively tame mischief
11. Explore your hometown, go somewhere new.
It's bigger than you think.
12. And also frequent all your old favorite spots.
Soon, it won't be so easy to get to them.
13. Eat at your favorite local restaurant as often as you can.
You've only got a few months left to get through the whole menu. Twice.
14. Go on a spontaneous road trip with your friends.
Decide to do it, and then just do it.
15. Take the plunge and get the hairstyle you keep debating.
It'll grow out by the end of the summer anyway.
16. Have lunch with your favorite teacher.
Good mentors are hard to find.

Cazenovia In 2012 the United Community Chest of Cazenovia, Fenner and Nelson awarded nearly $32,000 to 12 local non-profit organizations serving local residents and families in the community, including Arise on the Farm.
Founded in 1957 by area civic leaders, the Community Chest raises funds through a fall community-wide appeal mailed directly to 4,278 households in the community. The United Community Chest allows "neighbors to help neighbors."
Since its inception, the Community Chest has distributed more than $1 million to projects and activities supporting local residents and families.
During the annual fall appeal, residents are urged to check their mailboxes and consider how they can become involved in this mission, which has been in operation for more than 50 years.

IGN Presents the History of Final Fantasy
June 18, 2009 - Final Fantasy is the longest swan song of all time. It was never meant to last, but now, more than two decades later, it remains the most recognizable name in role-playing games. More of an idea than a true series, it has evolved into something that a young Hironobu Sakaguchi would never recognize and almost single-handedly turned a small, struggling company into an international powerhouse. In the twenty years since it first arrived on Japanese Famicom systems, it's never once relied on nostalgia or conceded to rest on its laurels. Every new game has continued to press forward, and that's precisely what makes it one of the most interesting stories in game history.
Is Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Overrated?
February 11, 2009 - Videogames are occasionally overrated, but some titles just take on a rhapsodic life of their own. They achieve a mythical status that makes them practically impervious to anything but the most glowing analysis. A passionate fanbase digs a moat around a game to defend it against criticism of any sort; even benign curiosity about an aspect of the game that might be improved is treated with open hostility. But as videogames mature, it's important to cast a critical eye back at the so-called sacred cows of videogames. How else can game design improve if we do not seriously consider the possible demerits of even the most vaunted games?

IGN Presents: The History of Final Fantasy VII
April 30, 2008 - In 1987, Hironobu Sakaguchi was planning his retirement from the gaming industry. Square, the four-year-old company he co-founded, faced imminent bankruptcy after a string of disappointing Famicom releases, while competitor Enix surged ahead with a new game called Dragon Quest. Sakaguchi knew he could do better than Dragon Quest, and boldly decided to prove it with one final fantasy-adventure RPG people would remember long after Square faded into history. He named it accordingly. Five sequels later, Final Fantasy proved anything but a finale. By the end of 1994, Square was a developer with some weight behind the name, and Sakaguchi was their executive wunderkind. They'd branched out with other successful titles like Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger, earned a place as one of Nintendo's top third-party developers, and slowly moved into the prized American market. With Final Fantasy VI in the can, Sakaguchi and his team had choices to make on where to take their venerable series next, and their decisions not only changed their company forever, but the entire gaming industry. Seven was about to become everyone's lucky number.
Bottom 10 SNES Games
April 1, 2008 - Many hardcore gamers regard the Super Nintendo as one of the best videogame systems ever. Ev-ah! To that kind of hyperbole, IGN Retro says: Pish-posh. The SNES was a great system, but it is no Colecovision. It's no Vectrex. It's no TurboGrafx-16 -- all systems the refuge of true hardcore gamers. That's not to say there aren't a few good games for the SNES. But no system since the Atari 2600 has hosted so much shovelware as the SNES. And it's time we called out some of the worst offenders on this system that the hardcore crowd loves to defend to the death on message boards 'round the Intertron 3000.

A media area network includes a storage system having at least one storage device for storing digitized information. A host bus adapter provides a link between the storage system and a host system that provides overall control of the media area network. Within the host bus adapter, a lower-level port driver monitors communications between the storage system and the host bus adapter. In the event of a communications failure, the lower-level port driver initiates switching from a failed port to an alternative port, thereby achieving fail-over recovery. Allocating the responsibility for fail-over recovery to the lower-level port driver assures timely handling of port failures, thereby reducing potential latency delays.
1. A method for achieving fail-over recovery in a media area network having a storage system with at least one storage device for storing digitized information, a host system for providing overall control of the media area network; and a host bus adapter for providing a link between the host system and the storage system, the method comprising the steps of
monitoring, at a lower-level port driver in the host bus adapter, communication status between the storage system and the host bus adapter, and in the event of a failure;
checking whether cancellation of the outstanding commands occurred, and if not then initiating fail-over recovery of any failed storage system controller;
initiating switching at the lower-level port driver to activate an alternative port, thereby achieving fail-over recovery, including the steps of:
queuing requests from an original port that failed for retry on the alternative port;
canceling all outstanding requests on the original port; and
issuing commands via the alternative port, including commands associated with the requests previously queued for retry.
This application claims the benefit, under 35 U.S.C. � 365 of International Application PCT/US03/21059, filed Jul. 3, 2003, which was published in accordance with PCT Article 21(2) on Feb. 12, 2004 in English and which claims the benefit of U.S. ProvisionaI patent application No. 60/400,635, filed Aug. 2, 2002.
This invention relates to a technique for achieving fail-over recovery of storage devices in a media area network.
Within the broadcast industry, there exist Media Area Networks (MANs) that comprise a host system, in the form of a central processor that executes a non-real time operating system. A host bus adapter links the host system to a storage system that includes one or more storage devices. Each device can take the form of a stand-alone disk or a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID). In practice, each storage device holds digitized video accessible for editing and/or broadcast. To assure reliability, all components within the MAN are fault tolerant and have redundant features in an effort to offer real time recovery in the event of a fault. Such real time recovery becomes especially critical when the video stored in one or more of the storage devices of the storage system undergoes live transmission.
When a fault occurs in a MAN, the location of the fault can affect the time required for recovery. For example, consider a fault associated with a port assigned to a storage device. Upon the occurrence of such a fault, an error signal propagates into a fibre channel fabric that carries the error signal to the host bus adapter. The host bus adapter typically has the capability the switching between the failed port and an alternative port to recover from the fault. Unfortunately, present-day host bus adapters do not inherently support the real-time requirements of a media area network. Existing host bus adapters usually introduce significant latencies. Delays of as much as 10 seconds can occur between receipt of an error and the switching between ports. Such delays impose significant difficulties. Some manufacturers of host bus adapters now provide fail-over recovery software that manages port failures. Unfortunately, such software has not proven to be either transparent or seamless. Empiric testing has revealed that such software incurs latency delays as much as 15 seconds.
Thus, there is need for a technique for providing near real time recovery of faults in a MAN.
Briefly, in accordance with present principles, a Media Area Network (MAN) includes a host system, a storage system having at least one storage device, and a host bus adapter linking the host system to the storage system. Within the host bus adapter, a port driver monitors for the presence of one or more error signals generated by the storage system upon the occurrence of an error. In response to an error signal, the port driver automatically initiates switching between a failed port and an alternative port to accomplish fail-over recovery. Allocating the responsibility for fail-over recovery to the port driver assures timely handling of port failures, thereby reducing potential latency delays.
The host bus adapter 14 provides a switchable path between the host system 12 and the storage system 16. To that end, the host bus adapter 14 includes a real-time kernel 22 in the form of a processor running a real time operating system, such as the VxWorks™ operating system available from Wind River Systems, Inc., Alameda, Calif., although other real-time operating systems exist and can readily be employed. The real-time kernel 22 controls a lower-level Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) interface port driver 24 that provides real-time fail-over recovery functionality in accordance with the present principles. In particular, the lower-level port driver 24 includes logic (either in the form of dedicated circuitry or a programmable processor) for monitoring the status of individual ports 25 1 and 25 2 and associated links 26 1 and 26 2 that carry information to and from the storage system 16. To assure redundancy, each storage device 18 maintains a connection to the host bus adapter 14 through dual links and dual ports. One of the ports (e.g., 25 1) and its associated link (e.g., 26 1) serves as an alternate while the other port (e.g., 25 2) and associated link (e.g., 26 2) remain active. In the event of a failure (e.g., the failure of a previously active port and/or its associated link), the lower-level port driver 24 switches to the alternate port (and its associated link) to achieve fail-over recovery. As described in greater detail with respect to
In the illustrated embodiment of the MAN 10 in
The host system 12 provides overall control of the MAN 10 via a non-real time kernel 26 that takes the form of a processor executing a non-real time operating system, such the Windows� operating system from Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Wash., the Solaris� operating system from Sun Microsystems, Santa Clara, Calif., or the Linux operating system. The non-real time kernel 26 communicates with the host bus adapter 14 via a messaging technique, rather than a direct connection with each storage device 18, to manage the communication of information between the storage system 16 and the host system 12.
Following step 225 (or step 220 when the TPPLO command did not fail), the lower-level port controller 24 of
The foregoing describes a technique for achieving fail-over recovery of storage devices in a media area network by having a lower-level port driver 24 monitor for a failed (inactive) port and then switch to an alternative port to effect recovery.

On July 1, 2014, the Supreme Court granted certiorari in Kellogg Brown & Root Services, Inc., et al. v. United States ex rel. Carter (No. 12-1497), a case involving two issues that have been central to recent False Claims Act ("FCA") litigation. Carter arises out of allegedly fraudulent defense contractor billing practices in connection with United States military operations in Iraq. In 2013, the Fourth Circuit restricted two important FCA defenses—the six-year statute of limitations and the first-to-file bar—in holding that Relator's suit was not barred by either. Although the Solicitor General recommended that review be denied, the Supreme Court granted certiorari and will hear the case in the fall of 2014.
The first issue for the Court in Carter is whether the Wartime Suspension of Limitations Act ("WSLA") suspends the statute of limitations for civil claims, including FCA claims brought by a private relator. The WSLA was originally enacted during World War II, and provides that "[w]hen the United States is at war . . . the running of any statute of limitations applicable to any offense…involving fraud or attempted fraud against the United States or any agency thereof in any manner . . . shall be suspended until 5 years after the termination of hostilities." Below, the Fourth Circuit held that that the WSLA suspended the FCA's statute of limitations so that Relator's claims were timely, even though they were brought outside the FCA's six-year limitations period. In view of the evolving nature of U.S. involvement in international armed conflicts, including efforts to combat terrorism that have been on-going for years, the Court's resolution of this issue will have enormous practical importance for the future of all FCA litigation.
The second issue in Carter involves the FCA's first-to-file bar. The first-to-file requirement—designed to prevent repetitive lawsuits and incentivize relators to alert the government promptly of alleged fraudulent activity—serves as a jurisdictional bar to later-filed complaints alleging the same essential elements as another "pending action." The Supreme Court will review whether the first-to-file bar precludes a later-filed action based on the same facts only if the earlier case is still pending, or if it also bars such a later-filed action after the prior case has been terminated. The Fourth Circuit held below that "an action that is no longer pending cannot have a preclusive effect for all future claims." The Court's decision on this question will likewise carry significant practical consequences, as it will either draw a hard line after which no FCA claims may be brought on a given set of facts or subject defendants to sequential, repetitive suits under certain circumstances.

IRS agents today returned search warrants executed on properties and business connected to one of Baltimore's largest bail bondsmen Milton Tillman, Jr. and his son, Milton Tillman III.
According to court records, agents were looking for evidence of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, tax evasion, and illegally engaging in the business of insurance.
Also of interest to the IRS were employment records from the International Longshoremen's Association. Tillman Jr. was convicted of tax evasion in 1996, after prosecutors said he reported an income from the ILA, while concealing his income from bail businesses and property rentals.
The IRS list of seized items runs to more than 40 pages, and includes computers, hard drives, property and tax records, a rolodex, invoices, credit cards, and a cell phone.

Seaton Delaval Hall
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
A place of great theatre and drama
Seaton Delaval may have been one of the architect Sir John Vanbrugh's smallest country houses; but it was home to the larger than life Delaval family.
The house and surrounding landscape were in keeping with the style expected in Georgian society, yet behind the formality lies a story of theatrical mischief.
Known as the 'Gay Delavals' due to their high spirited and flamboyant lifestyle, an invitation to one of their parties was the hottest ticket in town. In an age notorious for extremes of behaviour, they stood apart as the most notorious of all Georgian partygoers and pranksters. Imagine awaking in the house to find your room "turned upside down" with furniture fixed to the ceiling.
Enter a world where an extraordinary lifestyle was acted out in the most colourful way. The Delavals loved a performance, staging events from rope dancers and sack races outdoors to masquerade balls and even their own theatrical productions, which earned rave reviews at the time.
Seaton Delaval Hall has moved from fortune to misfortune many times through the centuries and the story of its survival is as dramatic as any performance that could be staged. It still bears the scars of the fierce fires which almost condemned it to ruin two hundred years ago, but even today plays a major part in the history of the North East.
Join the party and enjoy the drama.
Meet Brendan the Stonemason
Brendan the Stonemason is quite a regular here and he's going to be showing off his skills again at Seaton Delaval on Father's Day. Want to know more? Come along and meet him and ask any questions you'd like.
Table top talks
Every day at 12pm until the end of September there's a 15 minute talk from one of our lovely gardeners. This could be a story about the garden, poetry, a demonstration or something completely different.
Enjoy a gentle stroll through some picturesque areas in Northumberland with the family and dog in tow. You can learn about the Delaval's past and the history of this very fab place.

Freeze wins a particularly important day in Hoover
COLUMN: HOOVER, Ala. —He was quick but not rushed, funny but not mocked, informative but not boring, and even managed to find the sunny side of inheriting a 2-10 program with a healthy SEC losing streak.
Measured by his own rhetoric, the consensus among a pool of over 1,000 media members jaded by three days of clichés and no sunlight was that Hugh Freeze won the day in Hoover. The SEC rookie head coach held his own, and maybe even then some during Thursday's SEC Media Days finale. (more…) (July 20, 2012, Page 6A)
Lemming likes Rebs' attempt to build impact pipelines
COLUMN: Veteran football recruiting analyst Tom Lemming knew Ole Miss was recruiting differently and on a more national scale back in the spring when standout players from the Chicago area listed offers from the Rebels and interest in new coach Hugh Freeze. Lemming, the pioneer of high school recruiting and current analyst for CBS Sports Network, closely follows prospects from Illinois since he resides in the Chicago area.

Three big weekends – and lots of visitors
Three of the biggest weekends of the year in Oxford – outside of home game football weekends and baseball regionals – are coming up in the next month. Editor Don Whitten takes a look at some of what's going on with Grove Bowl Week, the Double Decker Arts Festival and graduation at Ole Miss. (April 18, 2012, Page 4)
Rebels still finding their way
With under a week to go until Saturday's annual Grove Bowl, the Ole Miss football team still has plenty of room to improve. (more…) (April 16, 2012, Page 6)
Rebels get spring drills rolling
As the Ole Miss Rebel football team took the practice field for their first spring practice, Coach Hugh Freeze knew his team wouldn't be perfect, but requested during the team meeting that they show maximum effort and attitude for all 15 days.
The team showed just that under a blue sky Friday afternoon. (March 26, 2012, Page 7)
Rebels begin spring season today
Ole Miss' transition on the football field will officially get a jump start today when the Rebels take the practice field with first-year head coach Hugh Freeze for the first time. The next 15 days are expected to be a time of learning, not only for the players but the coaching staff as well. (March 23, 2012, Page 7A)

I'm starting a blog series, in which I will talk about random topics that are surrounded by much controversy. In the first edition, I will be talking about none other than Hulk Hogan.
There is no denying that Hulk Hogan is arguably the most popular wrestler of all time. His mouth watering heel turn and his red and yellow attire helped him carry both the WWF and WCW on his back. Whilst
So we ALL know it's going to happen, the video packages, the satellite promo's, the live promos everything. It seems like most of raw is used to hype up The Rock vs John Cena match at Wrestlemania, which to me… is fair enough.

DESPITE the decline of acid rain, its legacy still taints the rivers of the eastern US, but in an unexpected way. Following stringent air pollution controls, the acid rain that devastated forests, ponds and small streams in the eastern US has been diminishing since its peak in the 1970s.
Now the opposite problem, excessive alkalinity, has emerged in the same area. New research has found that 62 of 97 large rivers, from New Hampshire to Florida, have become increasingly alkaline since the mid 20th century. "Alkalinity is typically thought of as a good thing," says Sujay Kaushal at the University of Maryland in College Park, but it can stimulate the overgrowth of algae and wreak havoc with public water supplies (Environmental Science & Technology, doi.org/nkf).
It looks like alkaline by-products of acid-neutralising processes had built up in the rocks and soil, and are now leaching into the rivers.

"The South Baltimore communities surrounding the new Horseshoe Casino Baltimore are slated to receive $10-$20 million a year in community impact funds, however $3 million dollars from the first two years will now go toward repaying Whiting Turner for the relocation of a steam line on Warner St. near the new casino. The Mayor's Office released its Year 1 impact funds spending plan last December and, though $2 million was allotted for infrastructure improvements in the area, the steam line relocation was not included in that budget."(South Baltimore.com).
Who would believe, this was once known as Pigtown: where the pigs came off the railroad and were herded through the streets to the slaughterhouse: Russell Street, B& O Railroad, Monroe Street, Mount Claire, Carey Street; when Montgomery Ward Department Store, was the biggest thing happening, and the largest population of white folks on government subsidy can be found in Baltimore.
After Montgomery Ward pulled out, the neighborhood went flat, then Mayor Schaefer linked up with Rouse company and associates, to refurbish, what now is THE INNER HARBOR. Baltimore started the resurgence to attract investors. A string of hotels rose out of abandoned warehouses.It is not by accident the Casino's name is," Horseshoe", it is of Pigtown origin, i.e. the horseshoe pit at the Bayard and Ward Street. However, the pigtown residents have not been embraced by the new residents; take for example the failed mall in the B&O compound, designed by former Mayor Donald Schaefer. The "yuppies" did not like rubbing shoulders with the "Pigtowners", they preferred Columbia, or Towson, their Jaguars, Mercedes Benzes, BMWs, and the like looked better in such areas, and would not be broken into. Safeway, one of the original anchor stores, recently left.
AUGUST, 26,2014, is seeing a new South Baltimore. The original and traditional generations cannot afford the 500 thousand dollar luxury apartments. Last week they celebrated South Baltimore Day in Carroll Park, across from the old Montgomery Ward Store, (now an office building). With the Horseshoe Casino pumping all this money into Pigtown, even the Republican politicians came to celebrate the grand opening. Maybe with fresh money, the grills and food at next year's celebration would see a significant upgrade to the new South Baltimore.

An increasing presence of Lesser whistling teal or Indian whistling teal (Dendrocygna Javanica) has been reported from the State recently, thanks to the favourable breeding conditions. A common Indian bird, the Lesser whistling teal, was identified by Dr. Salim Ali way back in 1931.
Shrinkage of favourable breeding conditions, habitat loss and human interference had led to a decrease in its number. R. Sugathan, ornithologist at the Thattekkad bird sanctuary and a disciple of Dr. Salim Ali, told The Hindu on Tuesday that some favourable factors in the State had led to a steady increase in its number over the past few years. He said that paddy fields, which had been remaining fallow for a few years, offered an ideal breeding spot for the bird. It often nests on palm or coconut trees, near to undisturbed paddy fields. Up to eight newborns will be there in a family and under favourable conditions, more birds will survive.
He said that recently over 2,000 Lesser whistling teal were identified in the Thattekkad sanctuary alone giving hope for its effective conservation in the region. This has also ruled out the misconception that the presence of Lesser Whistling Teal was confined to Palakkad area alone.
According to Mr. Sugathan, the teal is different from the duck species in terms of breeding, food-taking and behaviour. The Blue wing teal, a migratory species from Siberia, is quite different from the Lesser whistling teal and the former never nests in the country. Moreover, the Blue Wing Teal often damage paddy cultivation.
A Lesser whistling teal with its newborns, rescued from Kothakuthy, near Thodupuzha, by the members of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, led by president M.N. Jayachandran, and forest officials, were handed over to the Thattekkad Bird Sanctuary authorities recently. The birds were released to the sanctuary after a few days of care.

'Choice' challenged, embraced
In response to "Obama in 2016? A choice for America!" (Editorial, Sept. 9): Your characterization of President Obama's policies as a "war on God and life" is over the top. I have listened to the president speak and I see nothing of this person you are describing in his words or actions.
What makes you so angry? You simply want President Obama to fail so that your party can take over and undo the last 50 years of progress this country has made. That has been the agenda of the Republicans from day one and is the reason why we are not progressing in the areas of job growth and a stronger economy. The Republicans in Congress have acted as obstructionists and that is what has caused the stagnation of our country.

Of course a paper must take stands. If not, there is no civil discourse. But I must call you to task for the constant and virulent and vitriolic articles on Barack Obama, if for no other reason than he was elected to the highest office in America.
I do not begrudge you your opinion, I begrudge the cudgel you use day in and day out. Your constant diatribe lessens the power of your passion and leaves no room for any other opinions. We were taught in our journalism classes that every opinion counts. We don't have to agree, but we do have to listen and respect other voices.
If it's true as was stated [Sunday], that Republicans outnumber Democrats by approximately 100 voters in San Diego ("Notebooks: Politics"), you are either preaching to the choir or consumed by your zeal.

The U-T is behaving just like all other right-wing talking heads. The only thing coming out of your mouths is what's wrong with Obama, but nobody is telling us about the real Mitt Romney.
I challenge the U-T to do an in-depth article about Romney's flip-flopping record. I challenge the U-T to do an in-depth article on what it truly means to be a Mormon (the unproven American history and planetary afterlife the Mormons believe in). But you won't do it because all Republicans know that if America gets to know the real Mitt Romney, he won't even come close to winning this election. Instead of giving your readers the truth about the candidate you want to support, you are giving us lies about the candidate most of California will vote for.
If you want to support Mitt Romney in this election, that's fine. Just print the truth.

In the midst of the Obama campaign of "hope and change," he said, "Under my plan … electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket."
Anyone in California who has recently gone to the gas pump is probably paying over $4 a gallon. When the president took office, gas was approximately $1.83 a gallon. I certainly do not want to pay close to $8 per gallon. Is anyone looking forward to higher electricity costs?
