CommunityOne ZFS Presentations09 Oct '09 - 20:49 by benr
At CommunityOne in San Francisco I did a 2 hour "Deep Dive" on ZFS titled "Becoming a ZFS Ninja". These talks focused on creating a firm understanding of core functionality and then briefly discussed higher level functionality. Lots of time was spent on pool construction and physical layout, as those areas are often overlooked.
As always the intention is to be both entertaining and informative, so if you don't learn anything new at least you should get a laugh in there somewhere. ;)
awesome presentation. i like how personable your talks are.. makes it that much easier to enjoy.
Derek Crudgington (Email) (URL) - 10 October '09 - 03:49A really good presentation. I think on slide 17 it should read
... mirror c0t0d0 c1t0d0 mirror c0t1d0 c1t1d0 ...
when creating the zpool (in order to mirror across cotrollers).

Really liked the presentation even if I nearly went blind trying to read the commands you typed in :-)
Cheers Paul

M65 Jacket (Email) (URL) - 21 January '10 - 02:25Hello, Ben.
I hovered over your PDF presentation in search of an educator's insight (i.e. – how to best tell about the technology I use for several years now), and your work is quite good in that, I did find some things for clarity, thanks.
I wanted to clear out a few factual wrinkles and/or suggest improvements:
1) See comment above about page 17 typo
2) Page 32: an important type of local ZFS volume is a "swap" partition. As well as a separate "dump" partition in recent developments of default ZFS root.
3) Page 39 states that a pro-moted clone becomes an autonomous dataset. I think this statement is misleading, because, for example, no new data is copied on the disk media.
From my experience (check with "zfs get origin") it just becomes a new root of the graph. That is, all snapshots change parents to become intermediate snapshots of the pro-moting ex-clone, and the original dataset changes its origin becomes the ex-clone's clone. In effect this the just shifts focus of "requirement to recursively delete snapshots" of one of the clones.
4) Page 47 states that Sharing via SMB "relies on Samba". If that implies the Open-Source project Samba, this seems wrong: Sun implemented a kernel-side CIFS server in order for it to be more closely tied with ZFS, ACLs and other such particulars, and this caused some blog/forum grudge with Samba developers at that time.
5) Page 56 misses info that TXG syncs can also occur when a critical amount of outstanding writes is cached (i.e. streaming writes of lots of data), and this amount in MB's can be tuned. Which in particular improves responsiveness of the system (otherwise locked while the full 30-second cache is spooled to disk) in exchange for possibly slightly better average throughput on a very jerky system.
6) I think page 57 also misses "zpool iostat", while, I confess, I knew little of "fsstat".
Thanks a lot for the blog and your own and your visitors' opinions, and I hope you'd clear up the spam mess (unix quiz Captcha questions?) because the current system really sucks. Sorry about using "pro-mote" in text and such forced typos ;)

Jason Orr, founder of Atlanta's highly revered FunkJazz Kafé Arts & Music Festival talks about how the festival got started, his most prized relationships as a result of the festival, and some exciting tidbits on what's in store for this year's event. 2013′s program launches this Friday, July 12 with a screening of the music documentary FunkJazz Kafé: Diary Of A Decade (The Story Of A Movement) and the festival itself takes place on Saturday, July 13. Watch the trailer after the jump.
Giant Step: When you first conceived FunkJazz Kafé, what was your mission? What inspired you to start the festival in the first place?
Jason Orr: The mission when I first conceived FunkJazz Kafé Arts & Music Festival was to create an arts festival environment with new and innovative music as the soundtrack. I was inspired by the multiple talents around me here in Atlanta, particularly the artist I was managing, Vinnie Bernard, drummer extraordinaire, Lil John Roberts, visual artist Maurice Evans and the various creators in fashion, theater, dance, music etc. around the city. Everything was vibrant and bubbling but needed one place to come together.
GS: What's been your most memorable experience in the 19 years you've been holding FunkJazz Kafé?
JO: Out of all 46 festivals, I remember them all very well because they are like my children that have been growing up nicely. Sounds funny, but very true.
GS: A particularly odd or funny memory from FunkJazz Kafé over the years?
JO: A funny memory is when we were on tour in 1999 and we were going to Detroit and everything was going wrong… like the production truck couldn't get up the hills in the Smokey mountains because it weighed too much, the tour bus threw a rod, and we had a racist skin head engineer who hated us for no reason and was sabotaging the sound. It was a great test of will, patience, and magic. The festival came together in the end and was one of the best on that tour after all.
GS: Your most prized relationship you've gained from your experiences doing FunkJazz Kafé?
JO: The most "prized" relationship is probably with the many people who have come to FunkJazz Kafé Arts & Music Festival over the years and shared some real energy with me. You'd be surprise of the different types that have participated as artists or patrons over the years where great friendships/ partnerships have developed. But one that I'm humbled by is that of Chuck D and Professor Griff of Public Enemy for the extreme generosity and brotherhood they've shared with me…Oh, then there's also the relationships with Omar Lye-Fook MBE, Lil Louis, Dionne Farris, Carl McIntosh (Loose Ends) and Caron Wheeler (Soul II Soul)… they all are like siblings to me now and I really appreciate what we've shared.
GS: What makes soul music so special to you?
JO: Soul alone is just special. It's a signature expression. Personal, cultural and spiritual.
GS: How would you say the festival has evolved over its 19 years?
JO: FunkJazz Kafé Arts & Music Festival has evolved into a necessary vehicle that allows innovation in various artistic disciplines without having to comply with mainstream narrowness as seen in our documentary movie, FunkJazz Kafé: Diary Of A Decade (The Story Of a Movement).
GS: Any specific highlights this year that you are particularly excited about?
JO: Everything in the building is an exciting highlight for me! When you think about a place with six levels, multiple interactive suites, roaming performers, fashion exhibits, still models, body painting, stilt walkers, art sculptures, multiple DJs, a super dynamic house band where ANYTHING can happen and a MOVIE about FunkJazz Kafé Arts & Music Festival showing the day before to get people educated and inspired about it…man that's all fascinating to me!

HP Further Expands Recycling Program
HP announced yesterday a range of new products and solutions which make it possible for their printing customers to reduce their environmental impact and at the same time, use HP?s original printing supplies. These latest advances include an complete line of sustainably sourced papers as well as the naming of Office Depot as a partner for HP?s recycling of inkjet and toner recycling.
As part of this shift, HP is partnering with various nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) as well as manufacturing and retail companies to achieve their goal. Together HP and the organizations will create ways in which customers can have access to a wide range of products and solutions that are eco-friendly from the design phase all the way to when it gets recycledAnnukka Dickens, director, Americas Environmental Leadership Team, HP states, "'Our customers want printing solutions that offer quality and reliability, with proven environmental performance. HP?s approach includes innovative and environmentally sustainable product design, and free and easy return and recycling to help customers reach their sustainability goals.'"
"100 percent of HP Everyday Office Papers now FSC-certified"
HP reports that their entire Everyday Paper line in the North America has now been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. This sets HP further apart from the competition because very few other OEMs can boast that they have 100% certification for their paper. HP has also achieved this certification for its paper sold in Latin America.
Working in conjunction with their long-time partner, International Paper Company (IPC), HP uses fiber only from those forests which are responsibly managed. At present, over 40% of HP?s total tonnage worldwide has been certified by the FSC and/or is made from at least 30% post-consumer waste. The company?s next goal is to have at least 50% of their HP-branded paper worldwide or have more than 30% post-consumer waste by the end of 2015.
The FSC has a solid reputation worldwide as one of the most stringent and credible independent certification standards available for ensuring that products come from responsibly managed forests. The main goal of the FSC is "meet this generation's need for forest products without compromising the health of the world's forests for future generations".
"Expanded recycling options for customers"
Through HP's global cartridge return and recycling program, HP Planet Partners, customers are able to responsibly recycle their old HP ink cartridges as well as contribute to the effectiveness of the OEM's "'closed loop'" plastics recycling process.
HP's Planet Partners program now operates in 56 different countries and territories, which makes it easy for customers from all over the globe to properly recycle their used HP ink cartridges. They can choose to visit www.hp.com/recycle or physically go to any HP Authorized Retail Collection locations to turn in their cartridges. Since the beginning of the program, HP says they have recycled over half a billion HP ink and LaserJet toner cartridges. HP says their goal is to have recycled 3.5 billion pounds of electronic products by the end of 2015.
HP has partnerships with big box stores such as Office Depot, Office Max, Staples, and Walmart and now the cartridge collection network reported includes over 9,000 retail outlets worldwide, including 1,100 in the United States. Of the aforementioned stores, Staples who HP has been working with for over five years, last year expanded their efforts to include hardware recycling in North America. With this partnership, HP and Staples have combined to collect and recycle over 40 million pounds of ink, toner, and hardware to be recycled. Walmart represents the largest number of retail locations available to customers with over 3,500 stores.
"Measuring recycling results by the billions"
HP also makes a difference to the globe by offering "'closed loop'" recycling. With this method, HP uses both Original HP ink and toner cartridges as well as other post-consumer sources to make new Original HP cartridges. They report that to date they have used over 118 million pounds of recycled content, which means that 280 million cartridges as well as 2 billion post-consumer plastic bottles have been kept from going to landfills.
By using recycled plastic to make their ink cartridges since 2010, the company believes they have reduced what the carbon footprint would have been with virgin plastic by as much as 33%. The use of recycled plastics also reduced the amount of water needed by an amazing 89%. Much of the material that HP uses in their packaging is recycled as well. They conclude, " As the world?s largest provider of information technology (IT) infrastructure, software, services and solutions, HP is in a unique position to respond to the challenge of reducing energy use and waste. HP sees unprecedented opportunities to transform the way the world lives and works while helping its customers thrive."
HP Releases New App for Android Users
Adam Haigh
April 16, 2013
Users of Android devices and HP printers in the United States have a new and improved version of SureSupply to use to keep track of their ink levels. This second version (v2.0), includes the ability to locate the closest HP retailer. It is compatible with any Android device, phone or tablet, running version 2.0 or later of their OS and available at no cost.
The ability to check a unit's ink levels remotely means additional convenience for the user. They are able to simply enter their zip code to find a list of nearby stores. The app also includes the ability to provide directions to the stores and information about each location.
This latest version, according to reports, also features a "'simplified design and navigation'" in addition to a "'user-friendly FAQ section, and a direct link to assisted email support'". If someone is concerned about or wants to check the authenticity of the cartridge, the app covers that as well. Simply scan the security label on the package, and its code will automatically be run against HP's records. HP would like to protect its users from purchasing counterfeit cartridges. That said, the new app does not have the ability to make a distinction between counterfeit or remanufactured products which has the potential to draw people away from using cartridges which have been remanufactured legally.
HP Announces New Ink and Media Options for Large Format
Adam Haigh
April 5, 2013
Today at the ISA International Sign Expo HP issued a news advisory which details some the latest changes and advances the company has made in their ink and media options for Large Format environments. The new technology is designed to enable print service providers (PSPs) "increase application value as well as versality".
The first chance announced is an upgrade to the existing ink options for the HP Scitex FB7600 Industrial Press with the HP Scitex FB7600/FB7500 Enhanced Color Pack upgrade. The solution allows those companies who provide point-of-purchase applications and need high image quality.p>The color pack offers the convenience of either six, seven, or eight color configurations and the newest inks available are Orange and Light Black Scitex Inks. The Orange Scitex ink is ideal for providing true-to-life skin tones and easier color matching. The Light Black, on the other hand, means that users can get better gray solids and improve neutrality. The ink can be added onto the existing six colors to ensure optimal performance.
Dan Kimmerly, graphics director of KDM P.O.P. Solutions group who has been using the colors said, "'With the Enhanced Color Pack, our digital color capabilities have achieved a new level in quality with the ability to print true oranges and grays. Since the installation, KDM has been awarded new business solely because we can now match orange brand colors with digital, with one client even commenting that a sample printed using the new HP FB225 Orange Scitex Ink was the ?best digitally printed orange they have ever seen.'"
The color pack and its inks are expected to be available for worldwide distribution beginning May 1, 2013.
The next important news out of HP is the expansion of HP Latex media options. HP chose for this venture to partner with Brand Management Group (BMG) to improve the service quality and availability of HP-branded sign and display media. BMG for their part will source, market, and distribute a select number of HP branded media. These are anticipated to be available May 1, 2013 as well.
HP has already selected a handful of new supplies to continue to develop the technology further. They are Aurora Specialty Textiles Group Inc and Cooley Group. The companies will develop, manufacture, and distribute textile substrates which can be used with the latest HP Latex Inks and non-PVC banner solutions for use with both HP Latex and UV ink solutions, respectively. The new media options should be ready by late summer 2013, says HP.
Lastly, the OEM also announced an additional tool for use with the HP Scitex FB7600 Industrial Press, the metallic colors effect application. For this endeavor, HP worked with HP software partner, Color-Logic. Now, customers are able to produce metallic effects on their prints which are ideal for high-quality retail applications, POP applications, and package prototyping. Available as of April 4, 2013, interested parties will need to obtain the Color-Logic Printers Design Suite & License, HP FB251 Scitex White Ink, and HP-approved media for metallic substrates.Xavier Garcia, vice president and general manager, Sign and Display Business, HP said, "'To remain competitive, sign and display PSPs are constantly looking for ways to evolve their businesses from a single core specialty to producing a variety of applications under one roof. These application enhancements, new media options and alliances allow our customers to confidently expand into new markets, helping them strategically grow their service offerings.'"
HP Handles Another Security Issue
HP has responded quickly to the third security vulnerability they have had to handle in recent month, according to reports. The latest vulnerability had the potential to be very serious, providing access to sensitive and confidential data says CRN.
The "telnet debug shell flaw" as it is being referred to impacts the following LaserJet Pro units: P1102w; P1606dn; M1212nf; M1213nf; M1214nfh; M1216nfh; M1217nfw; M1218nfs; M1219nf; and the CP1025nw. HP has already issued a firmware update addressing the flaw which is available for download from HP?s Drivers and Software page on the right hand side under the heading of IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
The flaw was discovered by Christoph von Wittich, a German security expert who came across it while performing "'a routine network scan of his company's corporate network'" It is his belief that the issue could have led to denial-of-service attacks by hackers, though he further noted that in cases where the printers were not connected to the internet, no serious problems would occur for end users.
To test his theory, Wittich connected to a telnet port and was granted access to a debug shell which contained passwords for the HP Cloud server connection in plain text as well as the ability to disable SSL communication to the HP ePrint Cloud servers.
HP released the following statement with regards to the issue at hand:
HP takes our customers' security very seriously. On March 6, HP notified users of select HP LaserJet printers of a firmware update that should be made in order to maintain the highest level of security possible.
HP Inkjet Technology and Pharmaceuticals
A recent story which appeared on the PopSci website reveals how HP's inkjet technology has applications in pharmaceuticals. According to the report, HP's own R & D department has been trying to find ways to leverage their impressive array of inkjet technology so it can be used in pharmaceutical labs. Their research has found a culmination in a new "printer" for lack of better description, the Direct Digital Dispenser, a.k.a. the HP D300.
Among the list of companies using this machine are Astra Zeneca, GlaxoSmithKline, and SIGA Technologies. With it, they are able to create and test new types of drugs. PopSci says that SIGA used the D300 to create a compound called ST-246 which has the potential to be used on people who have developed smallpox, but would not benefit from the vaccine.
The research is said to go back roughly five years, and was discovered as their Officejet Pro X printhead was under development with its ability to offer high-precision ink droplets. It took some time for the researchers to get the size of the droplets to where they needed to be. HP's Joe Dody told PopSci that with the first go around, the "Thinkjet" as they called it, used 12 nozzles, each of which dropped 220 picoliters at a time. For some sense of comparison, for high-quality printing, the amount of picoliters in a drop has to be less than 10, says PopSci. In fact, in many cases, printers have been developed that have drop sizes between 1 to 5 picoliters. With the Officejet Pro X printhead, which uses a printhead equal to the width of a page, they are able to get it down to drops of 6 picoliters.
The article goes on to describe the process by which drugs are test under current technology. HP's Dody says that researchers work from a set of roughly a million molecules which have either been naturally or chemically produced. They are stored in a vial and kept in a freezer. After applying droplets of the chemical compound one by one very carefully, scientists are able to gauge what type of reaction, if any, occurs, and when. The process requires an intense amount of precision which is where HP can make a difference.
PopSci describes the D300 as almost exactly like a printer, however looking more closely would reveal that the printhead is slightly different, and is equipped with digital titration software and thermal-inkjet chips which are the size of a pen-tip. In this particular instance, the drops are 13 picoliters each, equivalent to roughly one–third the width of a single human hair. This amount of substance makes it possible for the scientists using the equipment to test difference concentrations for their reactions with diseased cells.
Though the process sounds straightforward enough, the article notes that it took a lot of time and energy to develop this solution. For starters, HP had to develop the puddling fluid from the compound being tested. Taking what they knew about printers, the OEM developed a 1 x 2mm piece of silicon attached to a cup which is open to the air. It is through this opening that researchers are able to place a larger drop of what they are testing and have it come out in 13 picoliter drops. HP?s team also had to develop a way to keep the fluid from flooding the testing plate and interacting with the compound, which took the team close to a year to perfect.
PopSci says the D300 now handles the puddling with an inert firing chamber, and to avoid cross-contamination as other compounds are test, the small cassette which holds the liquid initially was made to be disposable and can be swapped out easily. Dody concludes his analysis of the process by asserting that HP?s core printing technology has provided the necessary means and expertise for drug companies to reliably test compounds.
Fake HP Supplies Discovered En Route to Ghana
The Recycler reported earlier this week on a story which appeared on the website, GhanaWeb regarding the attempted importation of 20,000 fake HP imaging supplies into the African nation. Working with customs authorities in Tema, the nation&rsquio;s largest sea port, HP discovered 7,000 counterfeit HP printer cartridges and a combination of 13,000 counterfeit boxes, security labels, and empty cartridges for the manufacturing of counterfeit cartridges. The origin of the materials seized was Asia.
According to the article, there were "'three suspicious consignments'" which were intercepted by authorities on their way into the country from Southeast Asia. Geoff Eyles of HP's Anti-counterfeiting Investigations and Enforcement team stated, "'HP appreciates the work of the Ghanaian authorities in protecting consumers against the deceitful and illegal actions of counterfeiters […] We are proud that HP played a vital role in supporting local law enforcement authorities by identifying the seized items as counterfeits on-sited gathering valuable intelligence on the consignors and intended recipients. We welcome the Ghanaian Customs Authorities? commitment to pursuing and prosecuting illegal counterfeiters, whose products contain unknown chemicals which damage printers and could harm the environment. We believe that the intelligence gathered through this seizure will aid further actions against counterfeiting in Africa '"
As we have noted several times before in this space, the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) region is hotbed of this type of illegal activity, and HP is not the only company who has had to invest time and resources into stopping this behavior. Over the last four years, HP reports that they have conducted almost 1,000 investigations which have resulted in more than 800 enforcement actions and the confiscation of close to 9 million counterfeit products and components. It is these types of figures, along with the actions of these criminals that have made it somewhat difficult for legitimate resellers to bring their products to market and confuse the public.
HP Discusses Differences Between Ink Types
In an article which appeared last week on HP' The Next Bench blog lays out, in HP?s opionion, differences between their original HP ink, remanufactured cartridges, and clone cartridges. According to the author, HP_MichaelB, the entry was written in response to a third party cartridge reseller who was classifying the new, HP compatible cartridges they had made as "remanufactured".
As the author reports, this action by the reseller prompted HP to file suit against the company in a California federal court. He says that the lawsuit was undertaken "to ensure the marketplace remains a fair and open field of competition". HP feels that consumers have the right to be fully informed about the products they see before them, thus clarification to the alleged false categorization of the cartridge drew HP?s attention.
For HP, as explained in the entry, makes these distinctions between original HP cartridges, compatible (cloned cartridges), and remanufactured cartridges:
Further, it is HP's belief that cloned and remanufactured cartridges are not environmentally friendly. They contend that with remanufactured cartridges can only be rebuilt so many times and that the reliability decreases with each successive reconstruction, and will eventually end up in a landfill somewhere. While we certainly can understand HP?s legitimate concerns, it is always been our belief that it is ultimately the actions of the end user and his/her choices that determine where the cartridge ends up. Many companies that collect empties, as they are sometimes referred to, are committed to proper dismantling and recycling of cartridges. This is not to say that there are less honest companies that don?t hold up their end of the bargain, but based on our research, that cannot be broadly applied to everyone.
In conclusion, HP points to their Planet Partners program which handles the processing of used HP cartridges and has reached some incredible environmental milestones. We applaud HP?s efforts at protecting our planet.
HP Releases Official Statement Regarding Printer Threats
As we promised when the news broke last week concerning a potential security issue with HP printer software, here is the official statement, as provided to us by HP:
HP takes our customers? security very seriously. Our team has investigated the security allegations in the InformationWeek article and determined that the claims that someone can bypass built-in biometric defenses and recover previously printed documents are false.
With regards to the denial of service (DOS) claim that machines that are attached to a network are at risk, this can be mitigated by setting a password which HP recommends as part of its best practices for security to all customers. More information can be found at "HP Imaging and Printing Security Best Practices".
When requiring print authentication, such as with HP Access Control, device connectivity can also be restricted to prevent non-authenticated access. HP Access Control is a suite of printing solution modules that prevent non-authenticated use through authentication, auditing, authorization, accounting and secure ?pull? printing capabilities.
Is HP In Trouble Again?
Adam Haigh
January 24, 2013
It was just a little over a year ago, back in November 2011 when HP had to respond to a potential threat with the firmware in their LaserJet printers. Now it seems like HP is facing another issue, this time with their popular DirectJet software, according to reports by The Recycler and Information Week. They say that this threat could result in the ability to "'disable printer, evade physical security checks or recover printed documents'".
For those not familiar with HP?s software, it can be used with both external and internal printer servers which are sold by OEMs in addition to HP. It allows printers and multifunction devices to handle print requests over a network. As part of the process, the software will add tags like "'such as UEL (universal exit language), which notes the beginning and end of data streams; PJL (printer job language), to tell the printer what to do; and PCL (printer control language), which formats pages'". This information is processed in turn by the printer, and the output is produced.
According to the article, a researcher for viaForensics, Sebastian Guerrero, reportedly has tested the JetDirect software and has definitely discovered some areas where nefarious individuals could exploit the systems. He gives the example of changing tags which have been parsed which could generate a "'persistent denial of service '" which could infect large numbers of both models and manufacturers. He says hackers could dig deep enough to retrieve even previously printed encrypted documents and reprint them. Guerrero also says that those printers connected to a particular network could be disconnected by the hackers and then local IT administrators or technicians would be forced to reset units manually.
In his analysis, Guerrero did not name any particular printer make or model that would be susceptible to such a hack, he notes that any unit using JetDirect software is potentially at risk.
Regardless of the outcome of any type of investigation by the California OEM, it is only fair to point out that HP is not the only company to have potential trouble with security hacks. Late in 2012, Samsung had to deal with issues regarding their printer security, and earlier in the summer, the dreaded Trojan.Millcenso struck printers across the globe.
Stay tuned for further details regarding the situation. We have reached out to HP for comment and will post any official response in its entirety if/when we receive one.

Seven colleges and universities from Michigan to New York will be competing in the 10th annual Toyota Green Grand Prix at Watkins Glen International on Friday, April 11, according to a press release issued on Monday, March 31 from organizers.
According to Toyota Green Grand Prix organizer, Bob Gillespie, the event will be a showcase of motoring technology with an educational emphasis to promote innovation in sustainable transportation technologies. The competing colleges and universities have entered project vehicles powered by bio-diesel, diesel and gasoline in addition to hybrids and plug-ins. Private and business entries include everything from vintage pick-up trucks to sports cars and full-electric specials.
"The 10th anniversary Green Grand Prix will include what I believe is the world's most diverse field of entries in a single motoring event," Gillespie said.
"It's exciting to think that this takes place right here in Watkins Glen, where innovations in automotive technology have been spawned since the first races in 1948."
Among the most recent entries is a 1974 Fiat Urba Centurionwith 17 horsepower Kubota diesel engine. Returning this year is the West Philadelphia High School team, which in 2011 won the top fuel prize with a custom-built Factory Five that was driven around the track at 160 miles per gallon.
The Toyota Green Grand Prix is open to spectators, and admission is free.
The daylong Toyota Green Grand Prix includes the Doris Bovee Memorial Road Rallies, a two-stage event: a fuel economy rally on the famed race track in the morning and a time-speed-distance rally on the roads of the Finger Lakes Region in the afternoon. Pre-registration is required for the rallies.
"Our goal is to promote eco-driving styles and to inspire the next generation of automotive engineers and technicians to work toward environmentally responsible solutions for transportation," Gillespie said.
The next generation will be represented at the Toyota Green Grand Prix by the high school teams expected from across the state who will be participating in NYElectrathon races.
The students build, maintain and drive single-seat electric vehicles that are powered by the battery equivalent of 1 hp. They will be racing at speeds of about 30 mph on a course set up in the race track's south parking lot.
The Electrathon event will include educational technical talks by team members.
Friday's Toyota Green Grand Prix once again kicks off Watkins Glen International's season-opening weekend, April 12-13.

The Libertarian Party announced today, January 9, 2014, to sell to the public four books for $30 with free shipping. The catch? Their about liberty and work to spread the libertarian message. Seems like a great deal for libertarians and those wishing to give them as gifts to friends who may not currently identify themselves as libertarian. The deal ends on January 31, 2014.
These aren't just any old books about liberty. They are books about the Libertarian Party, about libertarianism applied to many issues, and about how to communicate Libertarian Party principles and solutions.
One of them, "Introduction to the Libertarian Party: For Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Independents, and Everyone Else" was written last year by Wes Benedict, Executive Director of the Libertarian National Committee.
The book Why Government Doesn't Work was written by Harry Browne, the Libertarian Party's 1996 and 2000 nominee for president. Harry Browne was famous for his bold libertarian solutions and was considered a master communicator by many. These books from 1995 are not in new condition — they've been in the Libertarian Party's basement storage for more than a decade, but are still great for reading, especially if you are new to the party and aren't familiar with Browne's fantastic work.
The following two books, were received by the LP in bulk, at cost, and the profits will help fund other LP projects.
Libertarianism in One Lesson, by David Bergland (Ninth Edition, 2005), answers the most common questions about libertarianism. What is libertarianism? Does libertarianism work in the "real world"? The book lays out the central premise of libertarianism — "you own yourself" — and reveals how that deceptively simple statement has an enormous impact on the relationship between government and individuals.
Finally, Secrets of Libertarian Persuasion, by Michael Cloud (2004), will help you "open hearts and minds to the ideas of liberty." From the book's cover: "Want to open closed minds? Want to make people really listen? Want to make people hungry to hear about liberty? Want to learn more powerful and effective ways to communicate libertarian ideas? Secrets of Libertarian Persuasion makes this possible." Michael Cloud is a current board member on the LNC.
Again, these aren't just general books about liberty, politics or economics. These were selected to help libertarians be a better Libertarian Party activist.

Two weeks ago, Atlanta was hit hard by winter weather and now residents are experiencing pangs of "been there, done that" as another storm front approaches and threatens to bring rain, snow, sleet and potentially crippling ice to the region. On Feb. 10, most major school systems in and around Atlanta announced closings to make sure children aren't trapped on school buses and in classrooms like they were the last time around.
As posted by WSB-TV in Atlanta on Monday, Gov. Nathan Deal has already declared a state of emergency for 45 Georgia counties ahead of the newest storm headed to North Georgia. State agencies including GDOT and GEMA, plus emergency services and schools are coordinating efforts to avoid a repeat of the first storm that stranded thousands of motorists on interstates and ice-caked side roads throughout the metro area.
Most of Atlanta is currently under a winter weather advisory until 7 p.m. on Tuesday. However, the northern counties are under a winter weather warning. Sometime Tuesday night, conditions will worsen with the potential of ice. State officials are warning residents of possible widespread power outages and are asking drivers to stay off the roads beginning on Monday night so crews can mobilize throughout the region.
School closings present a challenge for working parents. Most schools will be closed tomorrow and several have already announced closings on Wednesday, too. As reported by the "Atlanta Journal-Constitution" on Feb. 10, the worst weather won't hit until Tuesday night, meaning many parents will have to report to their jobs tomorrow and find childcare arrangements as this new weather front approaches and threatens the city for a second time in less than two weeks.
The following school systems in around Atlanta will be closed due to the approaching winter storm:
- Atlanta Public Schools (A.P.S.): Closed 2/11 & 2/12
- Banks County: Closed 2/11
- Bartow County: Closed 2/11
- Clayton County: Closed 2/11 & 2/12
- Cherokee County: Closed 2/11
- Cobb County: Closed 2/11
- Dawson County: Closed 2/11
- DeKalb County: Closed 2/11
- Floyd County: Closed 2/11
- Forsyth County: Closed 2/11
- Fulton County: Closed 2/11 and 2/12
- Gilmer County: Closed 2/11
- Gordon County: Closed 2/11
- Habersham County: Closed 2/11
- Hall County: Closed 2/11
- Lumpkin County: Closed 2/11
- Marietta City: Closed 2/11
- Murray County: Closed 2/11
- Paulding County: Closed 2/11
- Pickens County: Closed 2/11
- Polk County: Closed 2/11
- Rockdale County: Closed 2/11
- Towns County: Closed 2/11
- Walton County: Closed 2/11
- White County: Closed 2/11
In addition, many private schools and universities like Agnes Scott College, Emory University, Georgia State University, Oglethorpe University, Georgia Tech, University of North Georgia, and Kennesaw State have also announced closures for Tuesday. As usual, Gwinnett County, the last holdout, still hasn't announced school closings as of 7 p.m.
Parents and families in Atlanta have been flooding grocery and home improvement stores to prepare for the impending winter storm. Ice melt, generators, ice scrapers, snow shovels, plus bread and milk are running low. Meteorologist Glenn Burns reported at 6:30 p.m. on WSB-TV, "This is going to be a major ice event." He went on to explain that an ice storm of this scope happens in Atlanta only once a decade or so. WXIA reported that GDOT is bringing in 30 additional crews from south Georgia to supplement the nearly 500 workers in the metro Atlanta area.
The big question is…
Have city and state officials learned from the past? Will Atlanta handle this round of snow and ice or will it make national news yet again for the city's inability to handle winter weather? Only time will tell, but be sure to stock up…just in case.

Trying to think of ways to freshen up or revitalize your brand is never easy. Sitting around a conference room in an open brainstorming session generally doesn't produce anything remarkably new or different, mostly because without a specific focus it's difficult to break free of the same old patterns of thinking.

Ahhh…it has been a long and crappy week and finally you get to relax for a few hours while watching a movie. What on earth could go wrong you ask? A few of our favorites from F my life.com
Today, I went to the movies with the girl I liked. She kept on eating my popcorn so I whispered in her ear "Pretty soon you're going to have to repay me with kisses." Then she looked at me and walked out the theatre. She came back with a bucket of popcorn and said "Here, you're repaid."
Today, I went to the movies with my boyfriend. We went inside the theatre and he saw a couple of his friends. Instead of saying hi and coming back to watch the movie with me, he ditched me for them. When I reminded him he was forgetting something, he grabbed the popcorn out of my hands and left.

Today, I was on a first date with a girl at the movies. Trying to be polite, I held in a fart until an intense, loud action scene came on. As soon as I let go, the scene went silent and my fart was clearly heard to everyone in the movie theatre. My date went to the bathroom. She didn't come back.
Today, I got the courage to ask my mom if I could go to the movies alone on my first date with my new boyfriend. She said ok, which was surprising because she never lets me go anywhere alone. When I got to the theater with him I saw my mom. She had saved seats for us.
Today, this guy and I went on a date to the movies. We got up to the desk and I asked for one ticket for 'Jennifer's Body.' The guy moved his way in front of me and said, "make that two tickets." He then walked away to look at movie posters and left me with the $22.50 charge.
Today, my best friend and I went to the movies. There was a hot cashier, so I thought it would be cool to talk in a British accent to try and be sexy. I walked up and started talking when he interrupted me and said in a very heavy British accent, 'I know you're faking. You can stop now.'
Today, I went to the movies alone after the boy I was seeing told me he was busy studying for exams. I found him making out with another girl whilst in the queue. When I confronted him by text he denied that it was him. I saw him check the text and reply.
Today, I was at the movies. All of a sudden, the woman next to me starts laughing uncontrollably and talking to her friend during the movie. This continued throughout the movie, ruining it. I turned and whispered to my friend. The woman then taps me on the shoulder and yells, "Shut the fuck up!"
Today, I went to the movies. After it was over I got up and noticed a designer purse sitting on the ground in the back row. I opened it to look for anything that could give me a address so I could return it. The owner came back, assumed I was robbing her, and punched me in the nose.
Today, my sister told my mother how she saw our neighbor's son at the movies with a girl and that they were kissing. My mother proceeded to say that any girl willing to date someone so ugly must have self esteem issues and they laughed. I'm his girlfriend, my sister didn't recognize me.
Today, during the trailer at the movies, my boyfriend elbowed me in the ribs and smiled during an ad for a weight loss institute.
So, how was your day?

War, earlier trauma and PTSD in troops
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition that can affect soldiers who have experienced war, but a new study has found working in such an environment may not be the decisive factor in developing the symptoms of PTSD. Experts from the Department of Psychology and Behavioural Sciences at Aarhus University in Denmark found typically, it is not the experience of war that triggers PTSD.
Leading the study, Professor Dorthe Berntsen interviewed 746 military personnel before, during and after their posting to Afghanistan and found the individuals' lifetime experiences had a bearing if they were diagnosed with PTSD, with some experiencing trauma before they were sent to the front line.
"War in itself is not the crucial factor in making soldiers ill. It can be a contributing factor, but it is not the decisive factor," Prof Bernsten explained.
Indeed, the experiences of war do not cause negative effects in all soldiers, with the majority being proving resilient - forming the largest of three categories of soldiers. Others felt better as a result of their posting, while around five per cent found their mental state deteriorated while on tour.
However, the British Chartered Psychologist Dr Patrick Tissington suggests caution about these findings:
"Highly respected charities such as Combat Stress report that there is a woeful shortfall in post-service care and I would hate to see this sort of finding being used to justify further cuts in expenditure. I trust that those involved in allocating budgets to treatment of PTSD will look very carefully at the detail of this study before coming to conclusions."
I think the Denmark findings are fascinating and point to the need of independent assessments of soldiers who have experienced war to ensure they receive the most appropriately focused treatment.This of course includes war related trauma resolution work but also addresses the other pre/post factors which have contributed,maintained or predisposed the individual to psychological distress .

International flights over danger zones?
Aviation security experts weigh in on MH17 crash
PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. - The world is looking for answers as to how and why Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 crashed down.
Local aviation experts are offering their insight into the international debate about if all the warning signs may have been heeded. Americans do not just fly on U.S. based airlines or out of American airports. Some experts say sometimes American passengers are flying right over some dangerous places and do not even realize it.
Black smoke was rising from the wreckage of Malaysian flight 17 in eastern Ukraine as questions rise around world and here at home about how and why the plane came crashing down.
"Why? Why would they do that?," said Marvin Badler of Delray Beach, who made a career as Security Chief for El Al Israel Airlines. Now, Badler is an airline security consultant. "There's always a threat," he said.
As U.S. intelligence officials try to pinpoint the origin of what they believe was a surface-to-air missile that took down MH17, Badler and other experts wonder if any passenger jet should have been in that area. Aviation authorities in several countries including the U.S., issued warnings not to fly over parts of Ukraine prior to this crash.
"U.S. carriers probably would not have done that, would not take that chance," said Badler. "These other countries, we have no idea what they are up to."
NewsChannel 5 Aviation Expert Dave Bjellos ays airlines that fly less-than-secure routes are taking a major risk.
"MH17 now is going to prove to people that just because we fly the straightest line over countries that are in conflict is maybe not the best way to go," he said. "It's going to cost more. It's going to be longer. It's going to reroute more flights but it's got to be safer."
The 298 people on board are all believed to have died in the crash.
"They might be alert for a week or two or three and then nothing happened and let's go about our business," said Badler of some airline policies.
Experts do not anticipate any major changes at U.S. airports or on domestic flights. They say international flight paths could - and should - be altered depending on the intelligence available.

UCLA Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Jersey Auction
LOS ANGELES - Junior Karsta Lowe led all players with 21 kills, while sophomore Maddy Klineman added 11 kills, but the Bruins fell in four sets to #3 Washington on Friday at Pauley Pavilion. Set scores were 23-25, 25-21, 23-25, 13-25.
Senior Kelly Reeves was a kill shy of a double-double with nine to go with 13 digs. Senior Mariana Aquino had five kills and no errors in 10 attempts for a .500 hitting percentage with four blocks, while junior Zoë Nightingale posted seven kills. Junior Megan Moenoa added 44 assists, four digs and three kills and sophomore Karly Drolson had nine digs. The Bruins (11-8, 2-7 Pac-12) hit .235 for the match.
The opening set featured eight ties and five lead changes, with neither team leading by more than three points. Trailing 7-5, the Bruins went on a 6-2 run to take an 11-9 edge. Reeves had two kills during the run, Klineman, Nightingale and Moenoa had one kill apiece and Aquino and Lowe teamed up for a block. With UCLA still up 12-10, Washington scored five in a row to take a set-best lead of three at 15-12. Despite a tie at 18-all, the Huskies never relinquished the lead for the rest of the set.
At 18-15, three consecutive Reeves kills equaled things at 18. The Huskies netted the next two to go up 20-18 and eventually had three set points at 24-21. A Klineman kill and a Washington attack error staved off the first two attempts, but the third time was the charm for the visitors, as the Huskies claimed the opener 25-23. Lowe led the Bruins with six kills, while Klineman and Reeves added five apiece. The Bruins out-hit the Huskies .500 to .424.
Set two was even closer than the first with 13 ties and six lead changes. The first time anyone led by more than one was when UCLA took a 10-8 lead. Trailing 7-6, a 4-1 run on two Aquino kills, a Reeves kill and a Washington attack error put the Bruins up by two. Washington took the lead back with a 3-0 run to make it 11-10 and maintained a three-point advantage at 17-14 until UCLA made its run.
Six in a row for the Bruins put the home team up 20-17. A service error started the run, which was followed by a Lowe kill and a combo block from Lowe and Aquino. A Moenoa ace gave UCLA the lead, while a Washington attack error and a Lowe kill made it a three-point advantage. The Huskies got the next two to get to within one at 20-19, but a 5-2 UCLA run to end the set, punctuated by a Nightingale kill, clinched a 25-21 victory. Lowe had five kills in the second, while Aquino added three, as the Bruins out-hit the Huskies .290 to .206.
The Huskies jumped out to a 5-1 lead to open set three, but UCLA battled back with an 11-4 run to go ahead 12-9. Trailing 9-7, the Bruins scored five straight on a Lowe kill, a Nightingale solo block, two Washington attack errors and a triple roof by Nightingale, Klineman and Moenoa to make it a three-point difference. With the Bruins up 16-14, the Huskies scored three straight to go back up 17-16.
A Lowe kill and a Reeves ace put the Bruins back up, and after Washington scored two in a row to go ahead again, back-to-back Lowe kills made it 20-19 UCLA. The Bruins still led 22-21 after a Moenoa dump, but the Huskies scored four of the final five points of the set to take it 25-23. Lowe had seven of the Bruins' 14 kills in the third set, as the Bruins were out-hit .276 to .162.
UCLA never led in the fourth set, as Washington finished off the sweep. The Huskies jumped out to a 9-3 lead, but the Bruins cut it to three on two Washington errors and an Aquino kill. Washington countered with a 6-1 run to go up 15-7. A UW service, a Lowe kill and an Aquino/Klineman combo block cut the deficit to five at 15-10, but the Huskies scored 10 of the last 13 points to win the fourth 25-13. Klineman and Lowe each had three kills in the fourth, as the Bruins were out-hit .333 to -.033.
The Bruins host Washington State at Pauley Pavilion on Saturday at 7 p.m. Live video, audio and stats will be available at UCLABruins.com.

It has begun. Talk of who is bringing what, where we'll buy the turkey, what kind of pies I'll make, early morning texts concerning brussels sprouts. There's no getting around it: Thanksgiving is on its way. And with it comes the inevitable reflecting back and thinking about what we're thankful for. And about traditions. The funny thing about traditions is that they exist because they've been around for a long time. Year after year after year. But then, one Thanksgiving maybe there's something new at the table. I think as you get older this idea of traditions changing can become more noticeable. And with two grown sisters, it's inevitable that the holidays are going to start looking different sooner rather than later. This year we have a new addition, and my sister Rachael is actually doing all of the cooking while my mom has a much-deserved break. A few family friends will join us for the first time, and Zoe and I are scheming up a very un-Thanksgiving like dessert. Newness abounds. But there are old, important traditions, too. The way my mom and Cathy talk early in the morning about how long to leave the turkey in (after 30 some-odd years of doing it on their own, I'm certain they know, but it wouldn't feel like Thanksgiving morning without the obligatory check-in), the Thanksgiving cocktail (thank you, Zoe), three onion casserole for Stefan, and the evening walk with the dogs after dinner.
It's always kind of a chaotic, haphazard walk that begins with everyone lumbering around the house locating jackets and scarves and basketballs they may wish to bounce along the way. Dogs are leashed, dogs bark, and there's inevitably someone who — right around this point–drops out of the walk and volunteers to do the dishes instead. On these walks I'll sometimes turn around and look back and see "cousins" Kelsey and Elliot who have grown up before my eyes, the dogs who have slowly aged throughout the years, and the usually constant but little-bit-rotating crew of dinner guests — everyone's shadows in the night. Well-fed, together: That brings the happy.
I recently discovered a sweet blog, Remedial Eating. In talking about her family's Halloween this year, blog writer Molly Hays said, "And that's when I remembered the important thing about traditions, that they're only as good as the happy they bring. And sometimes that looks like repeating what was. And sometimes that looks like forgetting all that." Both are important: remembering what was and keeping it if it works, but not being afraid to ditch it if it doesn't. And welcoming the new with anticipation. This year there will be familiar happy and new happy, and I couldn't be happier about both.
An appropriate recipe to share with you today is a pie. It's part traditional and part completely new and innovative. I first saw it while flipping through the pages of Food and Wine while house-sitting for my mom a few weeks back, and knew it needed to happen. At its core, it's a simple custard pie infused with apple cider, cloaked in a layer of lightly-spiced whipped cream and thin slices of baked apples. If you're looking for a new Thanksgiving dessert, this could be a contender. If you're set on a traditional apple pie, I might urge you to give this one a spin. You never know when a new tradition could be born.
Apple Cider Cream Pie
The pâte brisée recipe yields enough for 2 9-inch pies, so you can go ahead and freeze the second disk for future use. Without the whipped cream, the pie will keep for 2-3 days in the refrigerator. Once you put it all together it's really best the day of although the second day is o.k., too.
Adapted from: Food and Wine
Prepare the pie shell: Scatter flour across your work surface and roll out the dough to roughly an 11-inch round (don't stress too much to get it exact). Lay it into a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie plate and trim any overhand that exceeds 1 inch from the rim. Fold under and crimp. Chill in the refrigerator until quite firm, about 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425°. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with dried beans to weigh down the shell when baking. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the crust is barely set. Remove the parchment and pie weights and cover the edge of the crust with strips of aluminum foil. Bake for about 15 minutes longer, until the crust is just set but not browned. If it starts to puff up, prick a few holes in it with a fork to release the air. Lower the oven temperature to 350°.
Make the custard filling: while the crust is cooking: In a medium saucepan, boil the cider until it's reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature. Whisk in 3/4 cup of the sugar, the sour cream, nutmeg and salt, then whisk in the eggs. Remove the foil strips momentarily, pour the custard into the pie shell, and replace the foil strips.
Bake the pie for 35 to 40 minutes, until the custard is set around the edge but the center is slightly jiggly. Let the pie cool completely.
Prepare the decorative apple slices: While the oven is still hot, slice the red apple very, very thinly. Use a mandolin or work slowly and carefully with a sharp knife. You don't want your slices to be too thin so as to be transparent, but close. Spray your baking sheet with non-stick spray or very lightly brush the slices with vegetable oil. Bake them until the edges start to curl up and they start to turn golden, roughly 10 minutes.
In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream with the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and the cinnamon until firmly whipped. Spread gently on top of the pie, cut into wedges, adorn with baked apples and a dash of cinnamon on top, and serve. If you're not serving right away, refrigerate until you are. If there's pie leftover, refrigerate — it will be great the next day, too.

["Avatar"] reflects that we are living through war … there are boots on the ground, troops who I personally believe were sent there under false pretenses, so I hope this will be part of opening our eyes."
So says "Avatar" director James Cameron about his blockbuster film to TheWrap.com.
The interview comes, in part, as a response to "right wing" critics who blasted the film's political messages.
Let's just say thank goodness Cameron is here to inform us the current wars are being fought under "false pretenses." That's a message that has yet to come out in public until now.
No film director, op-ed writer, politician or pundit has let us know about this. That's why we need Cameron to make movies like "Avatar" to show us the light.
If Cameron had some guts, he'd do a live Q&A with one of his critics, like Big Hollywood's John Nolte. Instead, he'll chat up journalists who more or less share his world view and won't get challenged.
Cameron is a populist filmmaker of the first order. But his ability to insert political messages into his films is anything but first rate – no matter if you agree with his POV or not.
And, apparently, his sense of his own self importance may be as large as the fictional planet of Pandora.
