6. Lorde: 21 Under 21 (2013)
Last Year's Rank: N/A
Birthdate: November 7, 1996 (Age 16)
Why She's Hot: At this time last year, Ella Yelich-O'Connor was an unknown 15-year-old in New Zealand, still two months away from releasing her debut EP for free on the Internet. Fast forward one calendar frame, and one of the songs on that EP, "Royals," is a record-setting hit on Billboard's Alternative chart and a Top 5 single on the U.S. Hot 100. Its creator, now known as Lorde, is one of the most fascinating new talents in pop music, with sold-out shows, a beguiling debut album titled "Pure Heroine," and an astoundingly level head about her heightened profile. The head of Lorde's record label says that she could be "the artist of her generation," and thousands agree. It's time to hail Lorde with a spot in this year's Top 10.

Eye on O.C.: Legally binding
Retired judge Francisco F. Firmat had guests in the Irvine Hilton ballroom giving standing ovations, laughing and hugging each other at the 2013 Project SELF (Summer Employment in Law Firm) Recognition Dinner. The program celebrated the successful completion of 54 Santa Ana high school students' paid summer internships with 44 Orange County law firms and businesses.
"Excessive busyness dehumanizes us," said Firmat, relaying the wisdom of his legal career that too much work is not a good thing, while praising the generosity of the law firms participating in Project SELF.
Since 1995, the Orange County Bar Foundation and Orange County Chapter of the Association of Legal Administrators has worked to help urban youths gain work in a professional environment. "The inner-city kids get exposed to these firms and this type of opportunity," said Karen Ruan of Lake Forest, the bar foundation's executive director. "This honors their eight weeks and thanks the firms for participating."
The students aren't the only ones who benefit, according to Coto de Caza resident Michael Maguire of Michael Maguire & Associates. "Our offices gain so much, too," Maguire said. "We're exposed to this excitement and youthful energy."
"I've had a Project SELF intern for the last three years," said Eric Traut of Santa Ana, incoming foundation president and head of the Traut Firm. "It's a well-organized program, but we turn down half the applicants because we don't have enough participating law firms and staff."
The evening concluded with organizers awarding college scholarships to 11 of the soon-to-be high school seniors, none of whom knew they were winners before being called to the stage. Stephen Mendoza of Santa Ana, an intern at Paul Hastings LLP, was thrilled. "Project SELF has arguably been the best experience of my life," he said.

This hotel need renovation!
The front desktop was helpful. The hotel was close to the metro and had a wonderful restaurant in it. Great party atmosphere.
Stayed here 3 nights to check out Berlin. Hotel is in decent shape, nice and clean rooms with good beds. No A/C though and it got VERY hot facing the west in the evening. If you want to take a shower with hot water you have to get up early (6am) or wait until about 11am, water heater can't seem to keep up. Wifi is not usable, only give you 90min at a time and have to re-register. When it did work it was averaging 15-30KB/s.
My boyfriend and I stayed at Aga's Hotel over New Years. The price was considerably higher at this time than it would usually be. Despite this, it was still affordable, and the hotel staff were quite accommodating. However our sheets weren't changed when we'd asked for the room to be made up, nor were the towels. The hotel isn't close to major sites and is a bit of a way out to the main part of the city, but it is close to a direct train line which only takes 10-15 minutes to get to the centre. Overall it was a good hotel and we enjoyed our time in Berlin.
OK hotel - good breakfast! An inexpensive hotel, but friendly staff and clean. Noise from other rooms bit annoying, but overall not a bad place and one I would stay at again. Good public transportation (tram and train) nearby and within an easy walk from the Stasi museum.

In this paper, we propose three novel algorithms to resolve the bandwidth overflow problems presented in the real world multimedia retrieval situations: (1) alternate path (AP), (2) sending earlier (SE), and (3) sending at lower bandwidth (SLB). AP method relieves the bandwidth overflows by excluding file transmissions from the overflowed link and then choosing a different path for them. In this case, file with the smallest size is selected as the victim. SE method resolves the conflictions by sending the files over the same link at an earlier time. The file transmissions which end earliest are selected as the victims. SLB method uses whatever leftover bandwidths to send the files using a lower bandwidth. In this method, the file transmissions will start earlier and last longer. Here, file with the smallest size is selected as the victim. A number of simulations have been conducted in order to analyze the performance of the proposed methods under different charge standards. From these simulations, we observe that higher network charges favor the use of the SE method, while higher storage charges favor the AP algorithm.

This invention is related to non-volatile, mass electronic storage systems, also known as secondary storage systems.
Secondary storage systems are widely used with different types of client applications including on-line transaction processing and multimedia storage. Transaction processing includes for instance credit card processing which is characterized by the client requesting a relatively large number of small data transactions. In contrast, multimedia storage such as video and music file access generally requires significantly larger transactions. In a typical operation, the client application sends a high level request for reading or writing a file to a file system. The file system maintains a file system name space, and maps file reads/writes to lower level block accesses. These block accesses are then fed to a storage engine that is typically part of a secondary storage system that includes a rotating magnetic disk drive. The storage engine typically has no knowledge of whether the file system is using a particular block in the disk drive, and as such can be described as being independent of the file system.
A currently popular technique for implementing a high performance, large capacity, and low cost secondary storage system is the Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID). In a RAID, a set of rotating magnetic disk drives (referred to here as simply "disks") are organized into a single, large, logical disk. Each disk in the set typically has the same number of platters and the same number of tracks on each platter where the data is actually stored. The data is "striped" across multiple disks to improve read/write speeds, and redundant information is stored on the disks to improve the availability of data (reliability) in the event of catastrophic disk failures. The RAID secondary storage system can typically rebuild the failed data disk, without involving the file system, by regenerating each bit of data in each track and platter of the failed disk (using its knowledge of the redundant information), and then storing each such bit in corresponding locations of a new, replacement disk.
Several RAID architectures (known in the industry as "levels") have been developed to provide various combinations of cost, performance, and reliability. For instance, in a Level I RAID, a block of data received from the file system by an input/output (I/O) controller of the RAID is stored entirely in one disk and replicated in a check disk. Level I thus uses twice as many disks as a nonredundant disk array, but provides speedy access (either disk by itself may be used to retrieve the block) and high availability. Accordingly, Level I is frequently used with applications such as on-line transaction processing where availability and transaction rate are more important than storage capacity efficiency.
In contrast, in a Level III RAID architecture, the block of data is spread bit-wise over a number of data disks, and a single parity disk is added to tolerate any single disk failure. The use of parity rather than a replicate of the data lowers the availability in comparison with a Level I architecture. However, storage efficiency is greatly improved as only one parity disk is used for several data disks. Thus, Level III may particularly suit applications that require the storage of large amounts of data and high throughput where data is accessed sequentially most of the time, as in digital video file storage.
There are two problems with the above described RAID architectures. First, as the storage capability of the typical disk drive steadily increases, disk rebuild times also increase. Since, while rebuilding a failed disk, the storage system is unprotected, i.e. a second disk failure implies the total failure of storage system, longer rebuild times can become a serious problem. This problem becomes even greater as the likelihood of failure increases with larger RAID sets having greater numbers of disk drives.
Another problem is reduced read/write performance with applications such as television production, where large transactions involving requests to retrieve or store media files, such as television program and commercial files, are combined with smaller transactions that access text files or "metadata" files which describe the commercial or program contained in a particular media file. Although RAID Level I provides speedy access for both large and small transactions, duplicating the large media files makes inefficient use of the total storage space as compared to that which can be obtained using Level III. Performance using RAID Level III, however, suffers for small, randomly addressed transactions due to the need to access the data in a random fashion over several disks rather than just one.
An embodiment of the invention described below benefits from the concept of closely coupling a fault tolerant, mass storage engine (such as a RAID engine) with a file system to achieve greater overall throughput in storage/database applications having a mix of large, sequential access transactions and small, random access transactions. In addition, disk rebuild time may be greatly reduced using such an embodiment.
A method according an embodiment of the invention includes dividing a logical storage space representing a storage area in a set of non-volatile storage devices into nonoverlapping storage allocation units (SAUs), each SAU to overlay all devices in the set. Different fault tolerant storage methodologies (FTSMs) are assigned to access (i.e. read/write) data in the different SAUs, respectively. Access to the data is done based on the particular FTSM for the SAU that is being accessed.
In a particular embodiment, an allocation table can be shared by both the file system and the RAID engine by virtue of the table being made public to the RAID engine. This allows the file system to chose the optimal fault tolerant storage methodology for storing a particular data stream or data access pattern, while simultaneously allowing the RAID engine to properly recover the data should a disk fail (by referring to the allocation table to determine which fault tolerant storage methodology was used to store the file.) Also, when the RAID engine rebuilds a failed disk, only the SAUs that are indicated in the allocation table as being used by the file system are rebuilt, thus saving rebuild time which is particularly advantageous when large capacity individual disk drives are being used.
The invention is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to "an" embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and they mean at least one.

File System Storage Allocation
Referring to FIG. 1, an allocation of storage space in a disk array 104 is disclosed. There are generally N data disks and M check disks in the array, where a raidSet denotes a group of N+M disks to which a number of FTSMs are applied to obtain fault tolerant data storage therein. The basic storage allocation unit (SAU) of disk space that can be defined by the file system is called a stripe 108. The logical storage space of a raidSet may be divided into any number of nonoverlapping stripes 108, 116, and 120 as shown in FIG. 1. Each stripe overlays the same two or more of the same disks in the set, such that each stripe may be a number of sectors on each disk in the raidSet and must have the same starting sector number and the same size on each disk. In the particular implementation shown in FIG. 1, stripe 0 consists of sector 0 through sector 63 on disk 0, sector 0 through sector 63 on disk 1, etc. The raidSet may thus be viewed as being sliced into equal stripes. However, the equal sizes are not necessary as a range of different stripe widths may alternatively be allocated. The size (width) of the stripe 108 may be selected to obtain a reasonably high throughput from a disk without incurring excessively high buffer memory penalties. For instance, if the disk sector is 4 kbytes, then the stripe size per disk is 256 kbytes, and transfers to the disk of this size may achieve a throughput that is reasonably close to the maximum throughput of the disk.
Each file may be allocated an integer number of stripes. The last allocated stripe, however, might be partially filled, so that there is some space wasted per file that on the average will be equal to half the size of the stripe. In the case of a raidSet having 8 data disks and 1 check (redundancy) disk, the data portion of the raidSet stripe is 8*256 kbytes=2 Mbytes, so the wasted space is on average 1 Mbyte. Using this stripe to store compressed video files that are in general hundreds of Mbytes to several Gbytes ensures that wasted space is well under 1% of the size of the file. However, when storing other types of media file types such as audio or highly compressed video, this stripe size may be too large, in terms of wasted space and in terms of buffer memory requirements.
To accommodate smaller media files such as audio and highly compressed video, the stripe may further be divided into a number of smaller SAUs, such as small stripes 112-115. A small stripe has the same topology as a stripe 108, i.e. it covers all data and check disks, but it is only a fraction of the size of the stripe. Thus, for the particular implementation where the stripe is divided into four small stripes as shown in FIG. 1, small stripe 1 will cover sectors 0 to 15 on disk 0, sectors 0 to 15 on disk 1, etc. This allows an access unit of 64 kbytes per disk, achieving a reasonably high throughput (though less than that obtained using the stripe access unit), while cutting the wasted space per file by a factor of four and also minimizing the random access memory (RAM) buffer requirements.
The file system also supports non-media files that are either metadata files that describe the media files, or text files. These files tend to be significantly smaller than media files. In addition, while access to the media files tends to be sequential in general, i.e. a long sequence of writes to record the file and a long sequence of reads to play it, random access to non-media files is more common. The stripe or the small stripe SAU may not be suitable to store these files, because the wasted space may be too large and random access of such SAUs too taxing of throughput. Accordingly, for small files, a third type of SAU called a small block 125 may be defined by dividing the stripe into many small blocks of several sectors each. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, there are 16 small blocks 124 . . . 139 in stripe 3 where each small block is 4 sectors (16 kbytes). The small block 125 is the SAU for data in small files and for all file system metadata information, i.e. the pointer blocks, file table and allocation table data.
To summarize, three types of SAUs have been described, each suited for a particular file type and access pattern: the stripe used to store large media files, the small stripe used for audio or high compression rate media files, and the small block used to store small text files and file system metadata. A fewer or greater number of different types of SAUs may be defined by the file system to suit particular client applications. As will be described-below, different FTSMs are assigned to access data in the different allocation units, thus helping make more efficient use of the storage space available in the disk array and improve performance for both large and small transactions requested by the client application.
Assignment of Fault Tolerant Storage Methodologies
The FTSMs create redundancy so that in case of a disk failure all data can be retrieved and the failed disk can be rebuilt after it is replaced with a new one. In a particular embodiment of the invention, the stripe and the small stripe are assigned a modified version of RAID Level 3 as their FTSM. For write requests, the file system accumulates enough data before writing a complete stripe across all data disks. When all stripe data is available, the RAID engine generates an XOR operation across the per-disk portions of stripe data in accordance with Level III RAID. In the case of a large stripe, the XOR function is performed across N (N being the number of data disks) portions of 256 kbytes of data, generating a new portion of 256 kbytes which constitutes the parity data. The parity data is then written to the single (M=1) check disk. In the case of a file read, the RAID engine reads a complete stripe, including the check disk; if a disk has failed, the missing data can be reconstituted and returned to the client by executing the XOR function across the N−1 per-disk portions of stripe data and the portions of parity data in the check disk, in accordance with Level III RAID. The same FTSM (here, Level III RAID) is used when the disk is to be rebuilt: the N−1 disks and the check disk are read, XOR is performed to reconstitute the missing data, and the data is written onto the replacement disk. This algorithm works very well for relatively large files that are accessed sequentially, because the bandwidth "wasted" by the check disk is only 1/N of the raidSet bandwidth, so very high throughputs can be achieved.
The FTSM for small blocks in this embodiment uses a Level I RAID algorithm which simply replicates the data block on a check disk. If a small block of 16 kbytes is written on disk 0, the same data is also written on disk 1 (see FIG. 1). This algorithm is relatively wasteful of disk space (it uses twice the disk space for a given amount of data). However it allows very fast accesses of small files and repeated random accesses.
The Storage Space Allocator Layer
The file system's storage space allocator layer has a logical allocation table as shown in FIG. 2 to track the allocation of storage space and FTSM assignment for any stripe. Each stripe is identified and marked as being used, i.e. contains valid data, or free, and the type of FTSM assigned to it. In the particular embodiment of FIG. 3, a bit-map tracks the allocation of stripes: if the bit is set, the stripe is allocated, i.e. some application or subsystem is using it. Access into this bit-map is fast since the stripe number is the index into the bit-map. Several stripes may be needed to store the data in a single file.
When the file system needs to allocate a small stripe (e.g. for smaller media files), it first allocates a stripe, and then divides the stripe into a number (e.g. four) small stripes and allocates a small stripe. Tracking of the small stripe allocation is done with a separate table such as the bitmap shown in FIG. 4. This may be organized as a hash table (the hashing is performed on the low order bits of the stripe number). An entry exists into this table only as long as a stripe is partially allocated as small stripes. When all four small stripes are allocated, the entry is deleted. When all four small stripes are freed, the corresponding stripe is marked not used in the stripe allocation bit map (see FIG. 3). A similar technique may be used to keep track of small blocks. When a small block is needed, a stripe is allocated and divided into a number of small blocks as shown in the bitmap of FIG. 5. An entry is created into a hash table to track the allocation of these small blocks. The table holds the entry only while the stripe is partially allocated as small blocks.
Note that the file system need not predefine or fix how much of the total disk space may be used as stripes or small stripes or small blocks. The allocation is dynamic, where the different allocation types are pulled from the base SAU, the stripe, and when freed they turn back into stripes.
In a particular embodiment of the invention, the assignment of a FTSM for any SAU is performed using a second bit-map that receives its index in parallel with the stripe allocation bit-map of FIG. 2. This is shown in FIG. 6 where the bit-map defines the redundancy algorithm applied to any large stripe. In a particular implementation shown, only two different redundancy algorithms are used, such that a single bit entry is sufficient to distinguish between algorithms. A bit equal to zero means that the corresponding SAU (e.g. stripe) uses the Level III RAID redundancy algorithm; if the bit is one, the data is stored in the SAU using a Level I RAID algorithm—meaning that the stripe has been turned into small blocks, where each small block that is written to a data disk by the RAID engine is replicated to a check disk. Implementations that use more than two redundancy algorithms are possible and can use either multiple bit-maps or multiple bits per entry in the FTSM bit-map of FIG. 6.
The SAU allocation bit-map and the FTSM assignment bit-map are shared between the file system and the RAID engine. The benefits of this approach include:
The file system can chose the FTSM for a specific data stream and/or data access pattern being received from the client. The RAID engine having access to the FTSM assignment bit-map in the storage space allocator layer of the file system can correctly rebuild the SAUs.
When the RAID engine must rebuild a failed disk, it has to rebuild only the SAUs that are marked as being used by the file system; the unused SAUs don't need to be rebuilt. This makes the rebuild time significantly lower if the file system is not full and the disks have relatively large storage capacities.
Having described the structure of the storage system used to achieve high throughput with applications that have a mix of small and large storage transactions, several methods for servicing the transactions are now described.
Servicing Client Requests
As an example of how the different layers of the file system and RAID engine interact, consider the layered architecture shown in FIG. 7. The layer to layer interaction that occurs when servicing a particular client request, in this case either a fsMediaWrite or fsWrite, is now described. The servicing of additional client requests fsMediaRead and fsRead, as well as a rebuild request, are shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 to be described further below. The following generally describes the relevant functions of each layer together with exemplary implementations for each layer, followed by the servicing of exemplary client requests.
Starting with FIG. 7, it is shown that each layer provides services to the layer above it and requests actions from the layers below it. A client application 752 includes tasks that use a file system 754 to read/write media or non-media data. A video player engine as a software program is an example of a client of the file system.
The file system 754 maps file reads/writes to specific SAU accesses. The file system 754, and in particular the storage system allocator 758, is responsible for maintaining the allocation and assignment bitmaps of FIGS. 3-6 described above. The file system 754, and in particular a file system interface 756, provides the following primitives to its clients (besides the typical file system primitives like open( ), close( ), stat( ), etc.):
fsRead( ) and fswrite( ) to access files allocated as small blocks
fsMediaRead( ) and fsMediaWrite( ) to access files allocated as stripes.
A RAID engine layer 760 provides the file system with primitives for reading and writing blocks of data to the disk array 104. This layer is also responsible for generating redundancy information for the different types of accesses, e.g. parity information for stripe accesses and data replication for small blocks. The RAID engine 760 also has a separate task that is responsible for the rebuilding of a failed disk. If one disk fails, the RAID engine is able to recover the data and essentially duplicate the used portions (SAUs) of the failed disk when the disk is replaced. The relevant primitives that the RAID engine 760 provides to the file system 754 include:
raidSmallBlockRead( ) and raidSmallBlockWrite( ) for small block access
raidStripeRead( ) and raidStripeWrite( ) for stripe access
The low level access layer 762 performs low level disk accesses to implement the higher level disk block operations requested by the RAID engine 760. This layer also prioritizes such low level accesses. The relevant primitives provided to the RAID engine include:
fcReadBlock( ) and fcWriteBlock( ) to access blocks of data
The low level access layer 762 accesses the physical layer which includes the disk array 104. The disks of the array 104 are connected to a bus and are accessed via a fiber channel driver, a small computer system interface (SCSI) controller, or other I/O controller found in conventional RAID systems.
Continuing to refer to FIG. 7, when the video player (client program 752) has accumulated its logical unit of data (for the video player this is a frame of compressed digital video), it will issue a fsMediaWrite( ). The file system interface 756 checks for unused SAUs (here, stripes) by querying the bitmaps and hash tables maintained by the storage space allocator 758. If there are unused stripes, the file system 754 through its client interface 756 accepts the data identified in the fsMediaWrite request, and checks to see if it has enough data to write a complete stripe (the stripe size is defined by the number of data disks N in the raidSet). If not, it returns and waits for the client 752 to write more data. Once enough data has been received to overlay a complete stripe, the file system interface 756 calls the RAID engine with raidStripeWrite( ). The RAID engine 760 computes the check information after determining the FTSM (here, RAID III) that is assigned to the stripe by accessing the appropriate table in the storage space allocator 758 (see FIG. 2). After the check information (e.g. XOR block) has been generated, the RAID engine 760 calls a fiber channel driver in the low level access layer 762 to write the data and check information to the disk array. Note that here, N fcWriteBlock( ) commands may be issued corresponding to N data disks.
FIG. 8 illustrates how read requests may be handled by the multilayer architecture having a tightly coupled RAID engine and file system. Operation begins with the client program 752 requesting a read, here fsMediaRead or fsRead. In response, the file system 754 identifies the SAUs that have been previously allocated to store the data being requested by the client. Note that the SAU may be one or more stripes or small stripes (in the case the client request is a fsMediaRead) or they may be small blocks (in the case where the client request is fsRead). In any one of these scenarios, the file system interface 756 after having obtained the SAU numbers calls the RAID engine 760 with a request to read the particular SAU numbers. Thereafter, the RAID engine 760 following conventional techniques reads blocks of data that correspond to the SAUs, and the data is returned, from one layer to the next, to the file system interface 756 and ultimately to the client program 752. Note that for read requests, it may not be necessary for the RAID engine 760 to identify the FTSM that was assigned to the SAU being read.
FIG. 9 shows the operations involved in rebuilding a failed disk. After the failed disk has been replaced with a new one, the RAID engine 760 queries the file system (in particular the storage space allocator 758) to find out what SAUs (e.g. stripes) need to be rebuilt. The file system returns a list of stripes to rebuild and the FTSM for each stripe, where the stripe allocation bit-map of FIG. 3 and the FTSM bit-map of FIG. 6 may be used to create this list. The RAID engine 760 then proceeds to rebuild each stripe in this list, applying the correct FTSM. Therefore, the RAID engine will rebuild only the stripes that the file system has indicated as being in use.
FIG. 10 illustrates a block diagram of the hardware and software that may be used to implement a tightly coupled storage system and file system, according to an embodiment of the invention. The disk array 104 features a number of storage devices 904 which may be individual rotating magnetic disk drive units in which the storage media includes a number of magnetic disk platters having sectors for storing and reading the data as electrical pulses. These storage devices 904 may all be connected to a serial bus (like Fibre Channel, FC) 908 having a number of loops 906. The Fibre Channel Loop is a physical serial bus used to connect disks to an I/O controller 910. It can be made of copper wire (for electrical connections) or plastic/glass fibers (for optical connections). Other data communication channels that are suitable for high speed access to each storage device 904 may alternatively be used. The I/O controller 910 (here, specific to Fibre Channel) serves as the interface between the bus 908 and the hardware/software combination which implements the RAID engine layer 760 and the file system layers. This controller is a hardware microcoded engine that implements a low level disk protocol and formats the data transferred to/from the individual disks. A Fibre Channel I/O driver 912 implements the access protocol to the disks. It issues read/write disk commands and passes the data to and from RAID engine software 916. The RAID engine software 916 is responsible for applying the FTSMs. For parity calculations, XOR service 914 is used including a separate processor with a specialized hardware XOR function. The SAU. manager software 920 maintains the allocation bitmaps and the FTSM bitmaps for the various SAUs, including large and small stripes and small blocks. The Name Space Manager 924 resolves a file name and maps it to a file descriptor. In the case of an existing file, the file descriptor contains a list of SAUs used by this file. When creating a new file, new SAUs are requested from the SAU manager 920 and allocated to the file.
It should be noted that the functionality of the file system 754 and the RAID engine 760 described above may be implemented by one or more processors (which may collectively be referred to as "a processor") executing instructions stored on a machine-readable medium. These instructions may be stored in one or more solid state memory chips (e.g. RAMs), non-volatile mass storage devices having built-in controllers (e.g. disk drives), or portable nonvolatile storage devices (e.g. optical compact disks).
FIG. 11 shows a particular application of the various embodiments of the tightly coupled secondary storage system and file system described above. What is shown is a collaborative production application which allows simultaneous access to all media files that are needed by production teams, whether producing a commercial, music video, or a newscast. Such a network includes a range of flexible components including a director 704 which is a storage array controller as well as a distributed file system. The director manages the recording and retrieval of data to and from a storage array 708. The storage array 708 may be the disk array 104 described above. A switch 712 being a content-aware packet switch is capable of connecting and routing data packets carrying various types of data including compressed video and commercial/program descriptor files. Nonlinear editors 716 may be directly connected to the switch 712. Devices without ports that are native to the network may connect via an interface 718. The interface 718 can encode digital video and audio in various different formats, where such may be compressed or uncompressed. Example of devices which may provide and receive data through a respective interface 718 include a video tape recorder (VTR) 732, a satellite receiver 728, a video camera 724, and a transmitter station 722. Finally, a manager 740 configures and manages the entire application and ensures that specific file types are routed to the correct interface, and also provides security and access rights to material on the network. Such an application may be the VIDEO AREA NETWORK infrastructure for the production and distribution of video provided by Omneon Video Networks, Inc.
The various embodiments of the tightly coupled secondary storage system and file system described here may be implemented in the application by configuring the director 704 to implement the file system and RAID engine of an embodiment of the invention described above. In that case, the director 704 and the storage area 708 act as a node in the network shown in FIG. 11, where client requests may originate from any one of the non-linear editors 716 deemed to be separate nodes in the network.
To summarize, various embodiments of the invention have been described that are directed to a tightly coupled secondary storage system and file system. In the foregoing specification, the invention has been described with reference to specific exemplary embodiments thereof. It will, however, be evident that various modifications and changes may be made thereto without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. For instance, the numerical sizes of the raidSet, stripe, and small stripe mentioned above are merely exemplary, used to enable an easier understanding of the invention. Also, the particular embodiment that uses the combination of Level I and Level III RAID for the different FTSMs may alternatively be configured with SAUs being assigned additional different RAID FTSMs (there are currently seven different levels of RAID). Another alternative would be to use a pair of FTSMs other than Level I and Level III RAID. In addition, although the RAID and its individual magnetic disk drives having built-in controllers serve as a currently preferred hardware platform for the secondary storage system, it is expected that other types of secondary storage systems, e.g. ones that do not use rotating magnetic disk drives, such as read/write optical storage disks (but not slower systems such as magnetic or optical tape drives, punch cards, or paper tape), may also benefit from the invention's tightly coupled secondary storage and file system described above. The specification and drawings are, accordingly, to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Secrets and lies abound in Echenoz's latest wry sendup of the spy thriller, which features a mysterious colonel, a reluctant secret agent, a magnetic beauty and a vanished husband. The shadowy Colonel Seck has been trailing Franck Chopin, an entomologist and sometime secret agent whose technique gives new meaning to the term "fly on the wall." On a walk, Chopin spots-and instantly falls in love with-Suzy Clair, who tells him that her husband, Oswald, who worked in France's Foreign Affairs department, inexplicably disappeared six years ago. Shortly thereafter, Chopin is summoned by Seck, "a midnight blue-clad sexagenarian with very white teeth," and informed that he has been chosen to trail an official named Vital Veber as the latter relaxes at a resort near Paris. General secretary Veber is traveling with his cryptanalyst, a massive collection of files and two cartoonishly muscle-bound bodyguards, Perla and Rodion. With the help of Seck and a painter at the spa who incorporates clues into his artwork, Chopin must follow Veber's every move, though, as Seck notes, the spy is "mainly there as window dressing." Who's after whom in this desultory case? And why is Suzy Clair also at the resort, chatting up Veber? Chopin and Suzy share a brief, passionate embrace-and then Chopin promptly finds himself kidnapped. Echenoz amuses and confuses as main characters and bit players appear in unexpected places and behave in unforeseen fashions. Flashes of wit abound, but this novel may feel too slight to satisfy.

From Booklist
Echenoz, the acclaimed French author of I'm Gone (2001), presents a gripping, quirky novel full of intrigue, wit, and a sophistication not typically seen in the average spy story--and also filled with typical French ennui. Everyone seems bored by their current work and lives, and this leads to all sorts of deception and double defections. Chopin is a middle-aged entomologist and former intelligence agent, who seems more able to commit to the flies he studies than the women he loves. He becomes involved with Suzy, whose husband mysteriously vanished the very night they moved to a new Parisian apartment. Chopin is recruited for one final mission, where he employs his novel spying techniques involving flies in a swank French resort. While there, Chopin realizes Suzy's duplicity, and he compromises his allegiance to his boss (whose own allegiances are suspect) for the woman he loves. As in all the best thrillers, everyone is working for someone else, nothing is what it seems, and everything works out in the end. Michael Spinella

Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
With Echenoz, much of the fun for the reader lies in the odd turns of phrase that one wants to credit him for... as opposed to an inventive translator! But in the end, the punning (our entomologist-protagonist works with bugs, and as a spy, also plants them, get it?) and silliness just sort of wore me down. It's one thing for a writer to enjoy a good lark, but as a reader, I suppose I wasn't quite in the right mood. Nonetheless, Francophiles, word lovers, and devotees of spy literature will find this book enjoyable.

Pinellas voters make their decisions
Two incumbent commissioners defeated
By SUZETTE PORTER
Article published on
Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2012
Incumbent Neil Brickfield lost to Janet Long in his bid for a second term to represent District 1 on the Pinellas County Commission.
Incumbent Nancy Bostock lost her bid for reelection against Charlie Justice to represent District 3 on the Pinellas County Commission.
Incumbent Ken Welch, left, took in the most votes against challenger by Buck Walz to keep his District 7 seat on the Pinellas County Commission.
Incumbent Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri brings in the most votes to defeat challenger Scott Swope in the Nov. 6 election.
Incumbent Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections Deborah Clark held nearly a 76 percent lead over challenger Jack Killingsworth in the Nov. 6 election.
Two of three incumbent Pinellas County Commissioners felt the agony of defeat Tuesday night, while a third joined the ranks of those keeping their job for another term.
According to unofficial results posted on the Supervisor of Elections website, Neil Brickfield and Nancy Bostock are out of work. However, the vote isnt official until after the Canvassing Board meets later this week.
The results do not include provisional ballots or 9,500 mail ballots. Elections officials plan to resume counting of mail ballots Wednesday at 9 a.m.
Brickfield, the Republican candidate, was seeking a second term on the Pinellas County Commission in the at-large position representing District 1 against former member of the state House, Democrat Janet Long, who received 55 percent of the vote.
Bostock, the second Republican commissioner in the running Nov. 6, was seeking a second term in the at-large position representing District 3. Her opponent a former member of the state Senate and House, Democrat Charlie Justice received 52 percent of the vote.
It was a clean sweep for the Democrats. Incumbent Democrat Ken Welch, who was seeking his fourth term representing District 7, handily defeated his challenger Republican Buck Walz with 69 percent of the vote.
Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri also took down his challengers to keep his job. Gualtieri took in 59 percent of the vote against Democrat Scott Swope with 40 percent and write-in candidate Greg Pound with less than 1 percent. Gualtieri, a Republican, was appointed by Gov. Rick Scott in 2011 to replace former Sheriff Jim Coats, who took early retirement. He defeated former Sheriff Everett Rice in the August primary.
Longtime incumbent Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections Deborah Clark took in a clear majority, nearly 76 percent of the vote, against independent candidate Jack Killingsworth. Its not the first time the two have faced off for the job; Clark defeated Killingsworth Nov. 4, 2008, with 61 percent of the vote. Clark has worked for the Elections Office since 1978 and served as deputy supervisor of elections in 1982. She was first-elected to the office of Supervisor of Elections in 2000.
School Board elections
Two nonpartisan school board runoff elections were scheduled during the Nov. 6 election.
Incumbent Janet R. Clark took the lead in the race for the District 1 at-large position with nearly 66 percent of the vote against Elliott Stern.
Rene Flowers garnered 77 percent of the vote for the District 7 position on the board against Glenton Glen Gilzean, who was appointed to the job by Gov. Rick Scott after the death of Lew Williams.
Voters said yes by 63 percent to the ballot question to continue a one-half mill ad valorem tax for school operating expenses. The tax period would run from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2017.
Pinellas County voters first approved an additional one-half mill ad valorem (property) tax for school district operating expenses Nov. 2, 2004, according to the districts website,
. The tax period ran from July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2009.
The money funds three specific areas: recruiting and retaining quality teachers; preserving reading programs and art and music classes; and providing up-to-date textbooks and technology.

Artist In Residence
Primary tabs
Broadcast details:
Sundays 3-5pm Encore Wednesdays 10pm
Each month, Double J brings you a unique Artist in Residence, handing the keys over to some of your favourite artists. It's a space to play in, with a different theme, style or idea explored each week.
Mat McHugh, solo artist and frontman for The Beautiful Girls has a big month of surprising and exciting music planned and a big topic to explore: Evolution/Revolution.
Mat shares his favourite tunes from the rule breakers, the pioneers, the mavericks and all the forward thinking artists that have pushed our musical culture into new directions and shaped the sound of the music that we all listen to today. And he explores how songs can challenge the powerful and bring people together. We'll also hear what happens when technology, cultures and ideas collide.
