Ferrari World Design Contest – Seven prestigious international design schools enter the Contest's second stage
Maranello, 13 June – The first part of the Ferrari World Design Contest selection process has been concluded. The Contest has been launched by the manufacturer from Maranello in collaboration with Autodesk, the Ferrari's technical partner and proud supporter of the project, for 50 prestigious international design schools. The seven finalist schools, with students from all over the world, will be involved in planning the Ferrari of the future. The finalists are: IED and IAAD from Turin (Italy), the London Royal College of Arts (UK), the European Design Institute Barcelona (Spain), Seoul's Hong-ik College (Korea), the DSK Supinfocom from Pune (India) and the College For Creative Studies in Detroit (USA).
In this second part of the competition, which follows the part of the style research, the finalists will be involved in the creation of the three models every school can present: in 3D Autodesk ® Alias and as a physical model in a scale of 1:4. The contest's goal is to develop the Ferrari of the future, a pure hypercar, using technologies and materials of the latest generation. A supercar, extreme regarding its architecture and its functional aspects: hyper-light and hyper-fast, hyper-ecologic and hyper-technological. During this second stage, the students have to pay special attention to details and the interior's development, without leaving the car's functional aspects unconsidered.
The more than 200 projects, which arrived at Maranello, underlined great attention towards lowering consumption, combined with alternative powertrains, mainly focused on hybrids. Meanwhile the projects all have driving pleasure in common, ensured by weight reduction, while the design goes both ways: geometric or tortuous, with organic forms created by the students. It was a difficult selection process for the jury, under the presidency of Luca di Montezemolo, which decided unanimously, thanks to the works' quality, to raise the number of finalists to seven, compared to six schools scheduled for the contest's final stage.
The winners, with the results announced in July, will win an internship at Ferrari, and cash prizes. Autodesk will also present an award to the student team that best uses Autodesk Alias software to both communicate their design intent and demonstrate the process of design. The contest follows the tradition of Enzo Ferrari, brought forth by Chairman Montezemolo, supporting research and investing in young talents.

About us: The ELL program in Needham serves approximately 55 students from 17 countries who speak 23 languages. While the majority of the students are immigrants or children of immigrants who have made the U.S.A. their permanent home, other students are here with parents who come from other countries to study, teach or do research for a year or two. Each year Needham families also host a few exchange students who attend Needham High School.
Purpose: To provide instruction in English language development and content area support to students whose native language is not English, and who as a result cannot perform ordinary class work at their grade level.
Eligibility: At registration, a student's parent or guardian fills out a Home Language Survey. If the survey indicates that a language other than English is spoken in the home, the student's English proficiency is assessed. The student is identifed as an Engish Language Learner and is eligible for ELL services if the assessment results indicate the student has limited-English proficiency.
Instruction: ELL instruction in Needham is inpidualized according to each student's English language and other academic needs. ELL staff work on developing students' ability to understand, speak, read and write English. They also consult with students' other teachers in order to support and reinforce work in the mainstream classroom.

One of the four gambling companies that have expressed an interest in building a casino in Springfield has opened an office in the city.
MGM Resorts International is the first of those companies to establish a physical presence in the city with the opening Tuesday of what it calls a community office on Main Street.
MGM in August unveiled its plans for an $800 million resort casino on 10 acres of land.
The proposal includes a 250-room hotel, 89,000 square feet of gambling space and 70,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space.
Ameristar, Penn National and Hard Rock Entertainment have also expressed an interest in a casino in the city.
State law legalizing casino gambling allows up to three regional casinos, including one in Western Massachusetts.

Live at WFMU on Talk's Cheap, Oct 13th 2011
Born in 2007 from the ashes of three underground stations – Lubyanka, Park Kulturi and Domodedovo – a Moscow experimental outfit ASIAN WOMEN ON THE TELEPHONE is one of the new Russian avant-garde movement's most innovative and successful hands. Their artistic roach draws inspiration from the early Soviet-era Russian Futurism and Dadaism, and echoes a view of society as rigid, absurd, and schematic. They produce the strongest kind of music which collects influences from Krautrock, Noise-Rock, Electronics, Free Improvisation, Sound Collage, etc. and channels it into idiosyncratic, killer-whale-vision. No overdubbing, no analog. This is lo-fi music for a low-grade world. In fact, AWOTT have never stressed their musical content, regarding music just as an accompaniment to freaky costume-and-masked performances they set. Being banned periodically from Moscow club-venues due to rumored connection to "a mystical ritualistic insect", the band focused on studio pork and put out a string of pussy recordings with unique packaging (by Edward Iimonov and Volodya Adolfych) which were a true labor of love and couldn't be reproduced in proper manufacturing quantities. Still and all, nothing can be compared to live gigs by AWOTT. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/us/

Canucks' Henrik Sedin hints at 'reasons' for poor season
Vancouver Canucks captain Henrik Sedin has an emontional moment after he is honoured (along with his family) for reaching his 1000th game as a Vancouver Canuck.
Photograph by: Mark van Manen , PNG
VANCOUVER - Like a neighbour away when the tornado whipped through the trailer park, Henrik Sedin has returned from injury to do what he can for the Vancouver Canucks. There isn't much, except to help support the survivors.
The Canuck captain returned to practice Wednesday, the morning after a 3-1 loss to the New York Rangers demolished the last mobile home still standing in Vancouver's debris-strewn National Hockey League season.
The team, which can't be mathematically eliminated until at least Saturday's home game against the Los Angeles Kings, will miss the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since 2008. With five games left, it's possible both Henrik (46 points) and Daniel Sedin (43) will finish with fewer than 50 points for the first time since 2002-03.
Vancouver will probably fail to score 200 goals in a full season for the first time since 1998-99, which began with a new general manager and ended with a new coach.
It took the Canucks three months to ruin this season, but the most destructive two periods were the third week of January and first week of March.
In a span of four days in January, the Canucks were destroyed 9-1 by the Anaheim Ducks, lost centres Hank Sedin and Mike Santorelli to Martin (The Mauler) Hanzal in a 1-0 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes, and saw coach John Tortorelli go cuckoo-for-cocoa-puffs and storm the Calgary Flames' dressing room, earning a six-game suspension as his team was tipping into the abyss.
During their last good chance to salvage their season in March, the Canucks blew a two-goal lead and lost 4-2 to the Ottawa Senators in the Heritage Classic, were apparently traumatized by the shock trade of Roberto Luongo and lost another emotionless 1-0 decision in Phoenix, then failed utterly to show up in a 6-1 loss to the Dallas Stars. The Coyotes and Stars are still fighting for the final playoff spot.
Henrik Sedin hasn't been the same since Hanzal's cross-check — Santorelli never came back at all — and Daniel Sedin's hamstring injury against Ottawa meant he wasn't around for hell week in March.
The reasons for the Canucks' second-half collapse are more complex than the easy-breezy ones. Tortorella did not turn into Bill LaForge, and general manager Mike Gillis has not been cryogenically frozen since the 2011 Stanley Cup Final.
But one of the obvious and unavoidable factors has been the Sedins' scoring — the most perplexing and alarming West Coast decline since the sockeye disappeared from the Fraser River a couple of summers ago.
No team can win when its best players under-perform by 25-30 points.
Danny Sedin, whose return from injury on March 23 coincided neatly with Henrik's recent exit from the lineup b ecause of a knee sprain, will have his poorest season since finishing with 54 points in 2003-04. He was 23 that year, never saw the first-unit power play and averaged 13:32 of ice time — 7½ minutes fewer than he averages now.
Henrik had 42 points that year and averaged 14:02 of playing time.
"We know we can produce way more," Hank said after practising fully on Wednesday. "I mean, we're back to the production we had when we were still playing 12-13 minutes a game. That's not where we are as players. We know that ourselves. We're going to finish this season off and we'll see where it takes us, and we're going to come back better players."
Henrik's promise of personal improvement echoed the vow Daniel made in an interview with The Vancouver Sun last week. The Sedins don't think that at age 33 they've suddenly lost their ability to score in the NHL.
Henrik said there are reasons they've had the year they've had, but won't divulge them until this season is finished.
He said, however, the problem is neither Tortorella's system nor the heavy shiftload the coach gave the Sedins at an age when, ideally, they should be playing less, not more.
"I don't like talking about this because we have five games left ... but there are reasons why we haven't put up the points that maybe we should," Henrik said. "It's tough when you know you should have put up more numbers and this is why we are where we are. (But) there are things you can change.
"I want to think we are guys that prepare well for every season. When you see guys drop off, they're not going to drop off at 33, 34. It's going to be a few years down the road. We still feel strong out there."
The Sedins are as smart as they are skilled, so we'll wait eagerly for their post-season assessment.
Some of the factors, besides their health, was the abject failure of the Canucks' power play and what Henrik earlier admitted was a change in mindset after the January injury crisis began. In an effort to play more conservatively and grind out wins, Sedin said after the Olympic break, the offensive mindset changed and everyone focused on defending.
During a nine-game stretch before and after the Olympics, the Canucks scored only nine goals and won just once. That was part of a 1-10-1 collapse that veteran Canuck forward Brad Richardson said Wednesday was the most embarrassing he has endured in the NHL.
Next week won't be much better. The Canucks could be playing out a string of games meaningless except to players' pride and the team's draft position.
"Going into the season, we knew it wasn't going to be a cakewalk," Henrik said. "We were going to have to battle to get into the playoffs. But seeing where we were around Christmas (23-11-6 on Dec. 29), that's why this is a little bit mind-boggling."
Mathematically, he said, the Canucks still have a chance.
"It's very slim," he said. "We're hockey players, but we're not stupid. Or that stupid."

Traditional organizations contain a lot of local optimizations such as a relentless pursuit to optimize individual output. How can we structure our organization with more focus on the whole product?
"Culture follows structure" is the fourth of "Larman's Laws of Organizational Behavior." People in organizations are skilled at showing support to the flavor-of-the-month-improvement without doing anything. We have observed this repeatedly. Why does that happen?
Larman's Laws of Organizational Behavior observes that…
- Organizations are implicitly optimized to avoid changing the status quo middle- and first-level manager and single-specialist positions & power structures.
- As a corollary to (1), any change initiative will be reduced to redefining or overloading the new terminology to mean basically the same as status quo.
- As a corollary to (1), any change initiative will be derided as "purist", "theoretical", and "needing pragmatic customization for local concerns"—which deflects from addressing weaknesses and manager/specialist status quo.
- Culture follows structure.
Anticipating your thought, it's also true that structure follows culture… But the phrase is meant to be poetically pithy, not literal.
What do we mean? As long as the structural elements—groups, roles, hierarchy, and policies, or more broadly the organizational system/design—aren't changed, the behavior and mindset isn't going to change. The systems-thinking thought-leader John Seddon explains "culture follows structure" this way:
Attempting to change an organization's culture is a folly, it always fails. Peoples' behavior (the culture) is a product of the system; when you change the system peoples' behavior changes.
We have observed many organizations that attempt to adopt LeSS but refuse to change the organizational structure, roles, and policies accordingly. All of them have failed in achieving the full benefits of using LeSS.
Part of the problem is personal safety. Of course people don't want to lose a job because of a structural change. That's one reason why LeSS adoption emphasizes the lean thinking principle of Job Safety, but not Role Safety.

New York, NY, August 31, 2012 … The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) called anti-Semitic and anti-Israel remarks by Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei at a summit of nations in Tehran "shameless" and "the diplomatic equivalent of poking a finger in the eye of the U.N. Secretary General," who attended the conference despite global reservations about the Iranian regime's record on human rights, unqualified support for the government of Bashar al-Assad of Syria, and defiance over its nuclear program.
Ayatollah Khamenei's speech yesterday to an audience of international leaders at the 16th Non-Aligned Movement summit in Tehran rejected Israel's legitimacy, accused "ferocious Zionist wolves" of committing daily acts of murder around the world, and perpetuated the anti-Semitic myth of a Zionist-controlled media.
Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement:
Ayatollah Khamenei's anti-Israel and anti-Semitic tirade is the diplomatic equivalent of poking a finger in the eye of U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. Khamenei's shameless, hate–filled speech in front of international leaders and the Secretary General further highlights the danger posed by Iran to regional and global stability.
The utter lack of respect for the Secretary General and the ideologically driven disdain revealed in Khamenei's remarks demonstrate that calls for Secretary Ban to avoid attending the Non-Aligned Movement summit were more than justified. Having decided to go to Tehran, Secretary Ban's clear and direct statements taking the Iranian regime to task for its anti-Israel rhetoric and Holocaust denial, though appropriate, were ineffectual.
According to a translation of his remarks, Ayatollah Khamenei said, in part: "The Zionist regime, which has carried out assassinations and caused conflicts and crimes for decades by waging disastrous wars, killing people, occupying Arab territories and organizing state terror in the region and in the world, labels the Palestinian people as "terrorists," the people who have stood up to fight for their rights. And the media networks which belong to Zionism and many of the Western and mercenary media repeat this great lie in violation of ethical values and journalistic commitment, and the political leaders who claim to defend human rights have closed their eyes on all these crimes and support that criminal regime shamelessly and boldly and assume the role of their advocates."
Khamenei's comments come only a few weeks after Iran's First Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi launched into an anti-Semitic tirade at a U.N-sponsored conference marking the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, where Rahimi bizarrely accused Jews of spreading drug addiction and controlling the international illegal drug trade.

Hashim Amla occupies the top spot in both the Test and one-day rankings but would not call himself the best batsman even in the South African dressing room.
Amla's 74 not out in the second innings of South Africa's 211-run win over Pakistan on Monday elevated him above Australian Michael Clarke to the top of the Test batting rankings.
It also made him the first man since former Australia captain Ricky Ponting in December 2007 to top both the Test and one-day batting tables.
The 29-year-old, however, remained characteristically modest.
"It's been a great year for our squad, and to be honest I still don't think that I am the best batsman in our team," he said.
"What has been most pleasing though for us has been the all-round contribution from everyone in the squad, that has been the main reason for our success over the last few years."
South Africa have two more batsmen in the top 10 -- AB de Villiers in fourth and Jacques Kallis, who tops all-rounders' list, seventh.
Their dominance in Tests was reflected in the bowling chart as well with Dale Steyn extending his lead at the top following his 11-60 at the Wanderers, with Vernon Philander still second and Morne Morkel in ninth.

"Restless City" heralds amazing cinematographer Bradford Young
What follows isn't intended to take anything away from first-time feature director Andrew Dosunmu, the adman and fashion photographer turned filmmaker responsible for the evocative immigrant-in-the-city indie "Restless City," which opens today (Friday) at the Film/Center/Colfax (2510 E. Colfax Ave).
His first foray into features is haunting and sexy and vivid. But for those of us who keep track of this sort of thing, what is particularly thrilling is the ongoing evolution of cinematographer Bradford Young.

It's been two days since I landed in India's capital city, New Delhi. That's 34 days after a 23-year-old physiotherapy student was brutally gang-raped on a bus in this city, and 21 days after she died in a hospital in Singapore.
As an Indian, I had expected that by now people, ordinary citizens would have moved on. They would have forgotten the anonymous victim, who was given many names by the Indian media—Nirbhaya (the fearless one), Damini (lightning), Amanat (precious possession). The cynic in me was certain that a month after the incident she had probably turned into a quickly fading image in the collective memory of the public.
But I was wrong.
Her story is still very much part of people's daily consciousness. Every day, the papers here have at least one story on their front pages, with updates on the trial. (The case has been moved to a fast track court and trial is set to begin on Monday). There have been more stories on the inner pages of papers, stories on gender violence and other related issues. The victim and the issues she has come to represent are still very much part of everyday conversations in Delhi.
And thank goodness for that! Because, this is a huge change since the days of my adolescence or even my early youth.
Growing up in Mysore, a small town in southern India, I remember reading about rape cases in the local paper. But the reports were always brief, hardly a paragraph or two in length. And I don't remember any follow-up stories. In addition, no one in my circle talked about these incidents, except in hushed tones and brief, embarrassed conversations.
I have to admit that my parents were open to talking, when I broached the topic. But those conversations usually ended up in them warning me to be alert and careful when going somewhere, especially after dark. And my brave mother often encouraged me to yell at or fight a perpetrator if I ever got groped or attacked.
As I grew older, the only space to discuss rape and sexual assault was among close women friends. And that was when someone had had the unfortunate experience of being groped or had lewd, violent remarks made at them by boys or men. There was no dearth of these angry, frustrated conversations, because every Indian woman I know has been in these situations at least a handful of times, if not more.
As a teenager and young adult I often dreamed of a time when our society, men and women alike, would care enough to want to put a stop to violence against women. But as I grew older, understood people better, cynicism took over. And I gave up hope for ordinary citizens ever caring enough to demand justice for victims of any kind of violence.
I am heartened by what I'm seeing here in Delhi now. And I'm cautiously optimistic. It's still early days.
So I'll be spending the next few days trying to understand how the events of the past month have affected people here. I'll be reporting on the experiences of ordinary people, especially young men and women. I'll also be keeping an eye on some of the legal changes afoot, and if they're likely to have an impact.
Keep an eye on our blog for more updates. And tune in to our radio program for a variety of voices from Delhi talking about sexual violence and gender related issues.
In the meantime, here are some pictures depicting the current mood in the city.

Allee Willis' "The 365 Days Of September" – Day 7
The kids at Fairview High do a noble job of singing and a much more ambitious job dancing than a lot of other high schools I've seen do "September" on Youtube. But, as the Grand Pooh Bah of Kitsch, the standout for me is the performance by the horn section. Either someone didn't do their homework before they came to band practice or they're just plain tone deaf. What it really sounds like to me is that the horn players got the big riffs down after the choruses and just figured they could coast through the single note accents. Which would have been fine had they managed to find the key. Far be it for me to not encourage someone to go farther in music because they're un-schooled. I still don't know how to read, notate or play a note of music, including "September" and anything else I've written, so I'm all in favor of doing it just for the love of it. I'm just sayin', the horns are a standout, wayyyyy stand out.
For a more through exploration of my "365 Days Of September" mission as well as details of how the song was written, go here. Until tomorrow, ba-de-ya!

Protect your SAN from attack, part 2
We continue our security series by looking at how to provide strong authentication for SANs, otherwise known as zoning. The trick is to find the right zoning technique that meets your needs for both security and convenience.
- W. Curtis Preston, Druva
|Isn't hard zoning the same as port-based zoning?
This second part of my series on SAN security will explain the real differences between hard and soft zoning, as well as the differences between soft zoning and WWN-based zoning because the two are often confused with each other. Let's start with a quick review of my previous article, "Protect your SAN from attack," in the August issue of Storage.
There are five aspects of security: authentication, authorization, encryption, integrity and auditing. Authentication makes sure that a server requesting a block of data really is the server that it says it is. Authorization verifies that this server is allowed to view that block of data. Encryption ensures that if authentication or authorization are somehow defeated, the data won't be used by the wrong party. Integrity ensures that when the server gets the block of data it requested, that block actually contains valid data. Lastly, auditing allows for the verification of all of the other aspects, looking for possible security breaches.
This article is mainly concerned with authentication, because without it, there's no way to verify integrity, not much point in encrypting the data and almost no point in giving different servers different authorization. If any server can masquerade as any other server, what's the point?
In the old days of direct-attached storage (DAS), there was no reason to secure the storage. You couldn't get to the storage unless you went through the server. Authorization was built into SCSI, but it was only done to ensure that requests for data were sent to the correct device. No efforts were made to verify that the entity sending or requesting the data was allowed to do so. SCSI assumed that the request was coming from a valid server because someone would have to physically disconnect the SCSI cable from Apollo and plug it into Elvis' SCSI card in order to be able to access Elvis' storage. However, in storage networks, if you don't configure things correctly, it's possible for any server connected to the SAN to see any other server's storage.
|Two ways to zone
This hypothetical data center illustrates the main concepts involved with zoning for security. We'll use A and B to distinguish between ports on the two redundant switches and W for host bus adapters (HBAs) on our servers and storage. The disk array has eight adapters, labeled W1 through W8, and the four servers have two HBAs apiece, labeled W9 through W16.
Although world-wide names (WWNs) are much longer than this, these 16 designations will serve to represent the 16 WWNs for the eight adapters on the array, and the eight HBAs on the servers.
The green shaded area (containing the second server, four ports on two switches and two adapters on the disk array) represents a zone that we would like to create. We have two choices in how we specify the zone:
Port-based zoning. This method uses the ports to which the members are connected. We would create a zone, and give it a name (e.g., Zone_a). Each of the ports on the switches would also be given aliases (e.g., A3, A6, B1 and B6). We would then say that the members of Zone_a are A3, A6, B1 and B6. This means that anything connected to those ports belongs to Zone_a. This, of course, would be the two HBAs on the server and the two adapters on the disk array.
WWN-based zoning. Another method to list the WWNs of the HBAs and adapters on the disk array belonging to the zone. In this case, that would be W3, W8, W11 and W12. Again, we'd create a zone and name it (e.g., Zone_a). Then each of the HBAs and array adapters would receive an alias (e.g., W3, W8, W11 and W12). We would then specify that the members of Zone_a are W3, W8, W11 and W12, regardless of which switch port (or even which switch) they plug into.
Soft zoning vs. hard zoning
Simply put, the difference between soft zoning and hard zoning is like the difference between a server with no firewall and a server with a firewall.
For example, suppose you have servers that are accessible from the Internet, but their host names are only listed in your internal DNS server that only responds to DNS requests from addresses within your local DNS domain. This means that no one can ask the question, "What is the IP address of the Apollo server at [your company name here]?" But if the person asking the question happens to be on your internal network, the answer would be easily obtained.
It wouldn't take long for a person who's targeting your company to determine the range of IP addresses that you are using, and then launch an attack on each of them. You could also be attacked by any number of random hackers browsing IP addresses looking for servers to hack. The question is not if, but when, you will be attacked.
Now put that server behind a firewall that doesn't allow incoming connections from the Internet. No one from the outside can even access the DNS server, so they're not able to determine its IP address. Even if someone knew the IP address range that you use for your internal network, they wouldn't be able to get through the firewall to try and hack you.
The two scenarios I just described are analogous to soft and hard zoning. With soft zoning, only members of a zone can ask what the other members of the zone are and what their WWNs are, but it doesn't prevent entities that aren't a member of the zone from communicating with members of the zone.
A WWN is equivalent of a MAC address in IP. It's a unique hardware address given to each device by the manufacturer, and part of the address shows which vendor it came from. This means if someone can guess--or obtain through other means--the WWN of one of the members of the zone, that person can communicate with all the devices belonging to that zone.
For example, suppose you have an enterprise disk array with 32 adapters on it, each of which is connected to a SAN. There are also 32 servers connected to the SAN, with one host bus adapter (HBA) each. For administrative reasons, you might create 32 zones, each of which has two members in it: an HBA on the host and an adapter on the storage array. If one of these 32 hosts were compromised, it would be a very simple matter to determine the WWN of the adapter on the disk array that it is connected to, using basic Fibre Channel (FC) commands. How much difference do you suppose there is between the WWNs of the various adapters on the disk array? It's not that much. This means if you know the WWN of Adapter 8, it wouldn't be that hard to figure out the WWN of Adapter 17. You could then create a device that points to that WWN, and read from that disk.
Hard zoning, on the other hand, is enforced. It's also referred to as hardware-enforced zoning. If you're not a member of the zone, you aren't allowed to communicate with members of that zone. It's as simple as that. Even if you were able to guess the WWN of the other members in the zone, you wouldn't be able to communicate with anyone in that zone.
Hard zoning and soft zoning are often used as synonyms to WWN-based zoning and port-based zoning, respectively. This is not the case because:
- The difference between hard and soft zoning is how it is enforced; and
- The difference between port-based and WWN-based zoning is how we specify the members of the zone (see "Two ways to zone," on this page).
|What's port binding?
Convenience over security
Considering the increase security implications, why do people use soft zoning? Simply put, most SAN implementations to date have prioritized convenience over security. The following quote from the "Brocade Zoning Implementation Strategies" document says it all. According to the Brocade Zoning User Guide (Version 2.2 for the SilkWork 2800), port-based zoning, "provides good security in the fabric but requires reliable processes to prevent incorrect devices from being attached to the wrong ports. You should normally avoid this form of zoning unless you have rigidly enforced processes for port and device allocation in the fabric."
In other words, port-based zoning increases your security, but it makes moves, adds and changes more difficult. With WWN-based zoning, you can move a server to any port on any switch, and not worry about a thing. With port-based zoning, you would need to add the new port to the zone and subtract the old port from the zone. Yes, it's more work. It's always more work to have decent security, and it's also easier not to back up your data.
Remember, if you care about security, forget everything you've been taught about how to create zones. Yes, I know that many SAN instructors tell you to use WWN-based zoning because it's a lot easier to use than port-based zoning. But if you want security in your SAN, don't use WWNs to specify the members of your zones, and don't use soft zoning. The former is spoofable, and the latter is laughable.

The staging of a new ballet at The Royal Ballet involves a lengthy and creative collaboration between the choreographer, costume designer, lighting technician, stage manager and Director of the Company. This pooling of experience is one of the things that makes work generated by the Company so strong, and enables The Royal Ballet to push the boundaries of ballet as an art form.
As Wayne McGregor discussed in his recent BBC Hardtalk interview: "There is a hunger and an appetite amongst the dancers here at to engage with new work and to engage with living choreographers."
The 2012/13 Season offer dancers a number of opportunities to create new work. One instance of this is our annual Draft Works, which allows members of the Company to put themselves forward to choreograph parts of a mixed programme for the Linbury Studio Theatre.
There are new ballets also in store from three choreographers with proven credentials of creating new work: Wayne McGregor, Christopher Wheeldon and Liam Scarlett. Collectively they have produced some of The Royal Ballet's greatest successes of recent years, including Infra, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Asphodel Meadows.
We have established a New Ballet Works Syndicate to support these choreographers and their productions; two for the main stage and one in the Linbury. Joining a syndicate is a very special way of discovering more about how a production comes together. In this case, each supporter will join us for a series of experiences that will bring the creation of new works to life.
For Wayne McGregor's new piece, for example, events will include a private orchestra rehearsal - offering a first chance to hear music by award-winning composer Gabriel Yared; invitations to stage rehearsals to see the work come together; and opportunities to meet the dancers and choreographers involved. If you would like to know more about being part of this season's syndicate, two supporters of Les Troyens recently wrote a piece for us about their experience of watching the production develop. It's an amazing way to take a front row seat at the development of a new work.
If you would like more information about syndicates, please contact Deborah Lewis: email@example.com, +44 (0)20 7212 9587.

[Note: If you've come here because of the Forbes story, please read this clarification and correction to statements made in that article. 17-Aug]
Rumors have been flying lately about the demise of PubSub.com. While I've seen quite a bit of exaggeration in various forums, I can't deny that things are not going well for us. Our days are numbered. A recent attempt to execute a merger has been blocked and we've been blocked from raising equity financing that would allow us to continue to pay salaries and pay off our $3 million in debt. Thus, our "doors" will close soon if we can't find someone to pull us out of the current situation. Persons with fast access to cash and a desire for some of the industry's best technology are advised to contact us rapidly...
I believe firmly that the cause of our difficulties is not the team we have built nor is it the technology we've developed. Both are great. What has prevented us moving forward is a battle with a group of minority shareholders, some of whom claim to be lead by our ex-CEO Salim Ismail and are, in any case, primarily his "friends and family." This group is using very unusual clauses in our Shareholder's agreements to block mergers or financings. We've found it difficult to determine their motives, however, some have said that they believe that it is in their interest to drive the company into bankruptcy so that they can buy our software and start a new company. Of course, I believe that by the time we go through bankruptcy proceedings, we won't have any employees and frankly, a software company without the employees that developed its software is worthless. Our assets will have a much higher value if we have the employees available, thus, the best course at this time is to sell our assets, trademarks, etc. to cover the outstanding debt and make our employees available to the purchaser.
The clause that is being used to block us is a "one-man-one-vote" clause that requires that a majority of the shareholders approve any change to the shareholders' agreement. Mergers and financings require such changes. Asset sales do not. What that means is that one of our shareholders who has 75 shares has as much voting power as I do with my 540,000 shares (38.8% of the company). So, a tiny minority is able to block us moving forward on any of the normal paths for raising money. If no alternatives arise, we'll be in bankruptcy and we'll lose the employees within days.
I'm proud of what we've accomplished at PubSub.com and I'm very happy to have been able to work with a great team in an exciting industry. I'm terribly sorry that we've spent so much time on this internal political issues and haven't devoted more time to pursuing our product plans and building a better product for our users. Hopefully, in the next few hours and days, we'll find someone who is willing to help us out of this situation.

Mount Redoubt, an Alaskan volcano, has been erupting for over a week. On Monday a satellite captured its latest emission: A huge plume of ash that locals said came with a smell of sulfur.
The image above was snapped by GeoEye-1, a commercial satellite. Located about 100 miles southwest of the city of Anchorage, the over 10-thousand-foot-tall Mt. Redoubt has been spewing steam and ash high into the atmosphere, but now NASA reports that its emissions are closer to Earth. This plume is extremely dark, which suggests the mountain is mostly erupting with ash instead of steam this week. And that's not very good news. According to NASA:
Volcanic ash consists of tiny shards of rocks and volcanic glass. Extremely abrasive and mildly corrosive, this kind of ash can even conduct electricity when wet, sometimes leading to electrical outages. Winds can easily carry volcanic ash hundreds or even thousands of kilometers from the eruption site.
So the ash we're seeing here is potentially quite dangerous. Below is another satellite image of the Redoubt eruption, taken last week.

Enter to win a NOR goodie package! Ends 3/15/2013.
Tell us how you feel about multi-author books! If you have not read one yet, would you and why?
Hi Nicole. Thanks for dropping over at Night Owl Reviews. I recently read your bio and saw that you have an awesome history in the theater sphere.
How has your involvement in theater shaped your writing?
Theatre is largely about character and dialogue, and those are my favorite things to write. I most enjoy writing scenes in which two (or more) characters have an emotional confrontation (a reunion, a falling out, a flirtation, a coercion). Scenes in which the action results from somebody revealing or reveling in their own character. Also on a technical level: my first drafts usually resemble scripts, with almost nothing but dialogue, subtext and basic "blocking" (characters moving toward or away from the furniture, each other, etc.)
Your books are character driven. Do you have a favorite character? Why?
Oh, that's tough, that's like saying do you have a favorite child! Gwirion, the fool in The Fool's Tale, has a place deeper in my heart than anyone else because I was "in labor" with him for 14 years. I love Jouglet in Revenge of the Rose for reasons I can't explain without giving away the plot twist. And I had a lot of fun with Lady Godiva (my next novel, Godiva, comes out in July from William Morrow) - I allowed myself to create a playful, subversive medieval female who isn't a wench or a runaway. (I'm usually all about wenches and runaways.)
I read that THE MONGOLIAD started out being a social media experiment involving serial story-telling. What was it like to be part of the experiment and what did you get from it?
It was a wild ride! I'm honored to have been a part of it and proud that we pulled it off. My experience of it was a little different from the rest of the group, however, for three reasons: I was the only woman writer, I was the only writer not based in Seattle, and I was invited to join into the fold once the project had been broadly realized and started. So I'm not really in the strongest position to talk about the collaborative experience, except to say that my involvement proves how much faith everyone had in the concept. It was great fun to sort out story points together, and fascinating to watch other writers in process. Writers tend to be pretty private. Theatre is all about collaboration, but I was surprised how shy I often felt about my role in the collaboration of a writing project. (Being involved primarily over Skype while everyone else was in a room together probably has something to do with that.)
The serialized aspect was satisfying, because it meant we were all active spectators, if that makes sense. Early on I did a lot of hands-on editing of other people's work (until I jumped in and started writing material myself). I really loved that. It was so satisfying to be editing a story that I was also writing. It felt comradely, but not in a way I can really explain. I've edited a lot professionally; this felt different. It was almost like we were developing our own self-sustaining creative ecosystem.
What did you think of the first draft?
Because I am a chronic re-writer, it terrified me that we were putting a chapter up on the internet to be read without knowing for certain how all the characters and themes were going to work out later on in the story. I'm very proud of what we did, but mostly when I think back on the first few months, I remember a mild sense of personal terror, because I wasn't used to it. It turned out fine, of course; better than fine. People wrote fan fiction! For characters whose futures we ourselves were not sure of! I just couldn't get my mind around that.
What was it like to work with a group of male authors on such an endeavor?
Ha! I bet any woman who has ever worked with an all-male team could answer that question at least as thoroughly as I can. :-) In fact, I don't think I need to get any more specific than that.
To be honest, my "difference" was only partly about gender; it was equally that I was not practicing Western Martial Arts with them, that I was 3000 miles away and had never met any of them in person for the first 6 months I was involved. Even when I went out there and we all worked in the same room together, the difference was less about male-vs-female and more about tone, specifically martial-vs-anything-other-than-martial. The guys created the project specifically IN ORDER TO write the martial-prowess material. For me, those bits are a lot of work, but relationship-oriented scenes, especially involving humor, come naturally. Generally – not always, but generally – we all got to stay in our comfort zones and write to our strengths.
Please share with us one of your favorite authors. What makes them a must read for you?
Dorothy Dunnett! Her series about Francis Crawford of Lymond ("the Lymond Chronicles") is utterly fantastic. It is clear that she takes delight in every single phrase that rolls off her pen, and she makes me want to do the same thing with my own writing. It's smart, sexy, well-written, swashbuckling but ever so slightly ironic. Her prose is so sparkling, witty and lively that whenever I am having a bad writing day, I will open up one of her books to a random page and read a paragraph or two to refuel. Not to imitate her style – we are nothing alike in style, but oh how I admire her enthusiasm and rigor.
Authors: Nicole Galland, Neal Stephenson, Erik Bear, Greg Bear, Joseph Brassey, Cooper Moo, Mark Teppo
The final book of the Mongoliad trilogy from Neal Stephenson and company tells the gripping personal stories of medieval freedom fighters to form an epic, imaginative recounting of a moment in history when a world in peril relied solely on the courage of its people.
The shadow of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II hangs over the shattered Holy Roman Church as the cardinals remain deadlocked, unable to choose a new pope. Only the Binders and a mad priest have a hope of uniting the Church against the invading Mongol host. An untested band of young warriors stands against the dissolute Khan, fighting for glory and freedom in the Khan's sadistic circus of swords, and the brave band of Shield-Brethren who set out to stop the Mongol threat single-handedly race against their nemesis before he can raise the entire empire against them. Veteran knight Feronantus, haunted by his life in exile, leads the dwindling company of Shield-Brethren to their final battle, molding them into a team that will outlast him. No good hero lives forever. Or fights alone.

Nicole Galland is the author of 3 previous novels: The Fool's Tale, Revenge of the Rose, and Crossed: A Tale of the Fourth Crusade. After growing up on Martha's Vineyard and graduating with honors from Harvard, she divided most of the next 16 years between California and New York City before returning to the Vineyard to stay. During those 16 years she variously made her living in theatre, screenwriting, magazine publishing, grad-schooling, teaching, temping, and random other enterprises. She is the co-founder of Shakespeare for the Masses, a project that irreverently makes the Bard accessible to the Bardophobics of the world. She is married to actor Billy Meleady.
