What will 2013 bring? Developers place their betsDecember 27, 2012 by Martijn Verburg, Andrey Breslav and Ted Neward
2013 will be the year of Java/JVM in the cloud – lots of new PAAS/IAAS providers launched JVM/Java based offerings in 2012, but many of them were of Beta quality and too limited in functionality due to a lack of understanding as to how the JVM works well in virtualised environments. In 2013 many of the kinks will get ironed out and a rich ecosystem will start to form.

PHP In The Cloud: Jelastic PHPDecember 19, 2012 by Chad Thompson
This post is a first look at a cloud deployment of a PHP application using a recently announced service – the Jelastic PHP Cloud. Jelastic is a cloud hosting company that has to this point focused on cloud hosting for Java – and uniquely as a software provider for other hosting/datacenter providers. This gives users a choice of hosts, with seven (at this writing) separate providers across the globe that run the "Jelastic Cloud" as an option for deploying web applications. The variety of Jelastic partners allows developers to deploy applications to different data centers around the globe with a consistent deployment environment – making it easy to go 'global' with applications and services.

Europäische Wagniskapitalgeber auf Renditesuche in der ProvinzNovember 9, 2012 by Matthew Campbell und Chris V. Nicholson
Bei Dimitri Tschichatschow von Runa Capital in Moskau ist das anders – sein Arbeitsalltag verläuft weniger glamourös. Will er etwa seine auf das Cloud-Computing spezialisierte Software – Beteiligung Jelastic inspizieren, so muss er sich von Moskau per Flieger in die staubige Metropole Kiew aufmachen und anschließend mehr als 150 Kilometer auf ukrainischen Landstraßen zurücklegen. Ziel ist die Provinzmetropole Schytomyr. Bedeutendste Sehenswürdigkeit ist hier das Kosmonautenmuseum. Serviert werden hier herzhafte Kartoffelklöße und Krautwickel, ganz so, wie es die ukrainische Landküche vermuten lässt. Jelastic Inc. ist ein Software-Start-Up in der osteuropäischen Provinz, gegründet 2010 von einem russisch- ukrainischen Programmierer duo, und es befindet sich auf dem gewünschten Wachstumskurs. "Weitab von den großen Metropolen gibt es hunderte versteckter Schätze", sagt Tschichatschow, "der regionale Markt von Start-Up-Firmen wartet doch nur darauf, entdeckt zu werden".
In Europe, Putting the Adventure Into Venture CapitalNovember 8, 2012 by Matthew Campbell and Chris V. Nicholson
The life of a European venture capitalist is usually pretty civilized, punctuated by trips to the converted warehouses of London's trendy Silicon Roundabout neighborhood or Berlin's stately Prenzlauer Berg district, where entrepreneurs swap ideas in Vietnamese restaurants and faux-dive coffee shops. Dmitry Chikhachev of Moscow-based Runa Capital lives a less posh existence. Visiting cloud-computing software provider Jelastic, one of his investments, means a flight to Kiev, Ukraine's dusty capital, followed by a 100-mile drive on post-Soviet roads to the provincial town of Zhytomyr – a city best known for its museum of Cosmonaut memorabilia. There, Chikhachev subsists on Ukrainian staples like potato dumplings and cabbage rolls as he helps Jelastic, founded in 2010 by a Russian-Ukrainian programmer duo, expand its business.
European Investors Put Adventure Back in Venture CapitalNovember 8, 2012 by Matthew Campbell and Chris V. Nicholson
Not so for Dmitry Chikhachev of Moscow-based Runa Capital, who lives a less posh existence. Visiting cloud-computing software provider Jelastic, one of his investments, means a flight to Kiev, Ukraine's dusty capital, followed by a 100-mile drive on post-Soviet roads to the provincial town of Zhytomyr – a city perhaps best known for its museum of Cosmonaut memorabilia. There, Chikhachev subsists on Ukrainian staples like potato dumplings and cabbage rolls as he helps Jelastic Inc., founded in 2010 by a Russian-Ukrainian programmer duo, expand its business. "There are hundreds of hidden gems far from big cities," says Chikhachev. "The regional market of startups is only starting to be tapped."
Deploying Java Web Application on JelasticOctober 9, 2012 by Tomasz Dziurko
To test how this deployment process look like, I've decided to put my Wicket tutorial web application online. It consist of three pages and two tables in database so I think it shouldn't be a too complicated process to deploy it online. And as a Java hosting service I've chosen Jelastic, recent winner of 2012 Duke's Choice Awards announced during JavaOne conference this year. Duke's Choice Award is something like a Oscar in the Java world, so I thought that Jelastic might be a good choice to start with.
Hadoop, Jelastic, NATO, and More Take Honors at 2012 Duke's Choice AwardsOctober 1, 2012 by Eric Gregory

Running elasticsearch with Tomcat on JelasticMay 30, 2012 by Luca Cavanna
In this post I'm gonna write about elasticsearch and a way to deploy it within a Java servlet container as a war file. Since I'm playing around with Jelastic, why not try to deploy it to the cloud? Once again, I haven't done anything distributed in Jelastic, I only deployed a single elasticsearch node. As far as I know the multicast discovery doesn't work on Jelastic, like in all cloud platforms, but I haven't tried yet running more than one instance together.

Say Hello to JelasticMarch 5, 2012 by Shekhar Gulati
These days Platform as a Service (PaaS) is one of my interest areas and I like to play with different PaaS providers to see how easy or difficult it is to develop and deploy application on them. The best thing about most of the current new generation PaaS systems is that they don't require you to change your code or learn new programming paradigm. Google App Engine is thing of past and is losing ground in PaaS race. For last six months I have spend some of my spare time on OpenShift and Cloud Foundry and one thing I can say is that I love both of the platforms. Today I decided to spend some time on Jelastic — seeing how easy or difficult is to deploy a simple Spring MongoDB application on it.

For Java developers working on the nascent Jelastic Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), it now requires just a mouse click to activate new automated high availability (HA) features for their applications, the company announced. With that click, the Jelastic platform clusters each app server with another app server running on a separate virtual machine (VM), and replicates the sessions between them, explained the company's founder and CEO Ruslan Synytsky.

New in Jelastic PaaS: session replication and sticky sessionsDecember 15, 2011 by Ruslan Synytsky
Here are some details on how the high availability features that we added few days ago work. This boils down to properly setting up session replication between Tomcat, GlassFish and Jetty web servers in Jelastic and configuring load balancer redirecting requests to them. Session replication then keeps copying session data between server instances thus providing high reliability, scalability, and perfect failover capabilities.
Grails + Bootstrap + Amazon + Jelastic = djacc.comDecember 13, 2011 by Abdullah Cetin CAVDAR
Amazon's dedicated servers are a little bit expensive for me, at least for now. I used Amazon Micro Instances for testing purposes. They are working well for small projects like mine. However, for the production, I needed a high performance machine and I found Jelastic (thanks Emrah). It's really fantastic. It has an intuitive web front end, high performance machines, real time scaling and best of all it's free for beta testing period. I put a load balancer front, 4 Tomcat7 application servers behind it and lastly I added my MySQL DB at the end of the stack. Perfect config for now.

You've created the next amazing blockbuster Java application and now need to find a server to run it, looking for a service which would be cost-effective, elastic, compatible with your application and tools, and not trying to lock you in.
Build in the Cloud: Jelastic + MavenDecember 1, 2011 by Alex Tkachman
Good news for Java developers! Now you can build applications in Jelastic cloud instead of building them locally and uploading WAR archives. What are my benefits you may ask? First of all, it is faster and takes less traffic and here is why: package files can be quite large and need reupload every time your application changes Jelastic can take only the code changes from version control repository and rebuild your application in the cloud. Second, you get the efficiency of the cloud and can use your computer without any extra load.

Robber run down in RutlandMarch 15,2013
Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo Rutland City Police investigate a robbery on Center Street in Rutland on Friday at noon.A quick-thinking barista has been credited with saving the day in an attempted robbery at the Coffee Exchange in downtown Rutland today.
At around noon, police said Nicholas Young, 22, of Rutland, walked behind the counter at the popular bistro at the corner of Center Street and Merchants Row, grabbed a bag full of cash intended for the bank along with an employee's purse, then walked quickly from the store, according to witnesses.
In the ensuing chaos, employee Kate Barcellos bolted out the door and pursued Young down the sidewalk on Merchants Row, through the Asa Bloomer Building and onto the bus terminal under the downtown transit center.
Barcellos, who is 22 and stands 4 feet 11 inches tall, said she kept up a steady stream of shouts for help and for the man to stop.
At the terminal, three bystanders heeded her calls and tackled Young, who was taken into police custody. The purse and the bag of money were returned to the Coffee Exchange, Barcellos said.
Police said Young has been charged with felony grand larceny and two misdemeanor counts of simple assault for allegedly biting two of the bystanders who tackled him. One of the bystanders had to be taken to the hospital for treatment.MORE IN This Just InA stepfather accused of killing his 2-year-old daughter was released from jail Friday night after...

Tigert Art Gallery will offer 20 percent off framing on Jon Crane limited edition prints. Crane's original works will also be on sale and on display.
Crane will double sign prints and do personalizations. Refreshments will be served.
Crane is well known for his detailed watercolors of rural America. He works exclusively in watercolor, combining washes and dry-brush, using subtle hues of watercolor.
His large, finely detailed scenes are his trademark. It is not unusual for him to spend several hundred hours on a single piece.
Crane was born in New Jersey in 1948, and left the crowded East for open spaces of
the West in 1967. After earning a B.A. in fine arts from the University of Northern Colorado in 1971, he spent the next five years as an Air Force pilot, logging combat missions in Southeast Asia.
He left the military in 1975 and has been a full-time artist since 1976. He now makes his home in the Black Hills, where he has built a home and studio of his own design along a secluded stream.
Crane has painted hundreds of watercolors and has published limited editions since 1979. Over half of these limited editions are sold out, with several selling on the secondary market for over 10 times their issue price. His work is currently available in hundreds of galleries around the nation.

Have you made this pattern?
Share with the Craftsy community.
When I was first bitten by the quilting bug, I wanted to design a quilt for my daughter.
My daughter, Erin, loves cats. Especially her cat, Fluffy. And she loves to read. She especially loves to read about cats. Her love is what inspired me to make my first quilt - the Krazy Katz quilt.
I designed the quilt to have a bookshelf surrounded by cats - featuring Erin's real life cat - Fluffy. He is the orange and white one. Erin saw my sketch and drew a little mouse on the shelf next to the sleepy kitty.
This 63 page pattern includes complete step by step instructions for making the Krazy Katz quilt from fabric purchase to fabulous finish.
These steps cover the piecing and the applique for the quilt top and contain both diagrams and full color photos.
There are full size pattern sheets for the applique. Just print them off! No scaling adjustments necessary.
I enjoy drawing and sewing and am always thinking of new ideas for stitchy stuff. Come visit me at my blog! http://sewfreshquilts.blogspot.com

Citigroup also outlined a new pay plan that ties compensation to stock performance and return on assets, a measure of the New York company's profitability relative to its size.
The new plan was announced after The Wall Street Journal reported that Citigroup is shelving an unusual executive profit-sharing arrangement that raised hackles with investors following its adoption in 2011.
Citigroup's moves come as Chairman Michael E. O'Neill seeks to avoid repeating last spring's defeat in a shareholder-advisory vote on compensation known as "say on pay." Citigroup was alone among major lenders in having its plan rejected by investors.
"Citigroup lost their say-on-pay vote because there was too much discretion in the way compensation was awarded," said Robin Ferracone, founder and chief executive of Farient Advisors, an executive-compensation consulting firm based in Los Angeles. "Citigroup has addressed that issue head-on by putting objective measures and goals in the plan."
Large financial firms are under scrutiny for their pay practices following their rescue by taxpayers during the financial crisis and a long period of poor stock performance.

Soon after taking over as chairman in April, Mr. O'Neill put himself in charge of the five-person board group that sets executive pay. He spent much of the summer and fall meeting with corporate-governance experts at proxy-advisory firms as well as 20 Citigroup investors representing more than 30% of the company's shares outstanding.
The new compensation plan dictates that 30% of pay for top executives, including Mr. Corbat, come in so-called performance share units that are delivered after three years, depending on the company's performance over that span.
Other executives eligible for the performance-share units include John Gerspach, the chief financial officer, and Manuel Medina-Mora, a co-president with oversight of global consumer banking.

Similarly, if Citigroup's return on assets—annual net income divided by total assets—falls below 0.6%, executives won't get any units.
Citigroup's return on assets in 2012 was 0.4%, compared with 0.59% in 2011.
But if the company's shares perform in line with rivals and the return on assets hits 0.85%, executives can receive 100% of their target performance-unit allocation. If returns rise further, executives can collect 150% of that allocation.
The profit-sharing plan being scrapped emerged as a sticking point in Mr. O'Neill's conversations with shareholders and corporate-governance experts, said people with knowledge of the talks, amid broader concerns about how the company pays top executives and how it discloses those practices to shareholders.
Citigroup's say-on-pay defeat helped paved the way for last October's departure of Chief Executive Vikram Pandit. In 2011, his compensation rose to $14.9 million from the $1 he received annually while the company repaid $45 billion of federal bailout funds.
Some shareholders contended the profit-sharing plan made it too easy for executives to collect large sums without ensuring outstanding company and stock performance.
"When there are this many issues, the board needs to start from scratch," said Aeisha Mastagni, investment officer of the California State Teachers Retirement System, which owns nine million Citigroup shares.
The decision to allow the expiration of the incentive plan wasn't driven by the say-on-pay defeat, said people familiar with the company.
Ms. Mastagni was one of a handful of pension- and mutual- fund managers who voiced their concerns on an Aug. 15 conference call with Mr. O'Neill.
Mr. Pandit's retention package included a profit-sharing plan that would have paid him in excess of $6 million if cumulative pretax profit for ongoing operations in 2011 and 2012 totaled $12 billion, providing he had remained with the company. That is less than what Citigroup earned before taxes in 2010.
"When the threshold is set so low, that is not good corporate governance," said Ms. Ferracone of Farient Advisors.
Mr. Pandit and his deputy, John Havens, who served as Citigroup's president and chief operating officer, were forced out before the first leg of the award was payable and will collect nothing.
"When our shareholders spoke last year about Citi's compensation structure, we listened," Mr. O'Neill said in a regulatory filing Wednesday.

FDIC Consumer News - Winter 1997/1998
|A look at the FDICs new
Internet site for kids, teachers and parents
This Little Piggy Goes Into Cyberspace
Wed like to introduce you to one of your childs new teachers Carmen Cents. We think shes doing an outstanding job teaching children around the world the basics about the FDIC and the American banking system. Carmen is actually a cute, bouncing pig really a piggy-bank featured in the FDICs new Internet site for kids called the Learning Bank. The FDIC knows it isnt easy making banking, bank regulation or deposit insurance appealing to youth, but so far this educational site for students in kindergarten through grade-12 is a hit.
We hope youll get a chance to visit our Learning Bank soon. Until you do, heres a look at some of what it tells kids about how the FDIC and banks serve the American people.
What is a Savings Account?: A savings account is where to put money you dont want to spend right away. A good thing about a savings account is that it makes it easy to save money, because you know its safe, and you can get in the habit of bringing money, perhaps part of your allowance, to the bank each week. With regular deposits, and the interest youll earn, it doesnt take long for savings to grow.
What is a Checking Account?: A check is like a note that says: If you go to my bank (or have your bank go to my bank), they have my permission to give you this much money out of my bank account. Youve probably seen your parents write checks at stores or at home to pay bills. Checks are especially useful when you have to mail money to someone, since mailing cash is risky because anybody could take the cash and use it. Only the person who the check is made out to can cash a check. If you write checks for more money than you have in your checking account, the bank will not pay them. This is called bouncing a check, because your bank will bounce your check back to the person you wrote it to, instead of giving them money.
What Does a Bank Do With My Money?: A bank collects money from people or businesses that want to keep their money in a safe place. The bank then lends this money to people or businesses that require additional money to meet their current or future needs. So, when you deposit money at your local bank, the money does not remain locked away in the bank vault. Instead, the bank lends your money to others in your local community. Whether it is to assist your parents in the purchase of your home or to help your neighbor start his own business, these loans benefit your entire community.
What is the FDIC?: The FDICs biggest job is insuring the savings of millions of Americans in all the FDIC insured banks across the country, even the savings of kids. The FDIC also visits banks on a regular basis to make sure they are following the rules they need to. For example, one rule banks have to follow is called the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. It says that a bank cant refuse to loan money to someone just because of his or her color, religion, national origin or for a number of other reasons.

Spending time up front in the planning stage of a course can save you time and effort in teaching the course by helping you consider a number of decision points before you actually begin teaching.
The learner-centered course model addresses content mastery and the intellectual skills students should develop when they complete the course. It places the responsibility for learning on the students because you make your planning decisions based on the activities students must perform. It also makes it easier for you to select material to cover, since your course goals dictate the content to include.
A learner-centered instructor begins by asking four key questions:
1. What are my instructional objectives (that is, what do I want students to be able to do when they finish this course)?
2. What assessment strategies will help me know that students have achieved the outcome?
3. Which instructional strategies are most appropriate to help my students learn?
4. What learning activities will best help students to achieve the outcomes?
1. Learning Objectives
Objectives should be sufficiently specific so your students know what is expected and you'll be able to recognize when the objectives have been achieved. Use these questions to guide your goal setting:
- What skills and levels of knowledge can you expect of students who register for the class?
- What level of performance can you expect from them?
- In what ways will students be "different" when they finish the course?
- What should students be able to do with the knowledge and skills gained in the course?
- What information or skills do students need to be able to do the things they should be able to do after passing the course?
- What kinds of tasks could students perform to help them acquire the information or skills needed to achieve the learning goals?
- How will you measure students' level of "difference" when the course is finished?
- How will you know they can do what they should be able to do?
Example A
Sociology 112: Social Stratification
The focus of this course is on contemporary social stratification in the United States. However, we will also cover the historical development of stratification, different theoretical perspectives on the origins of social equality, stratification in communist societies, and theories of world stratification.
Stating your course goals in terms of student performance (Example B) eases course development, gives students clear expectations, and simplifies assessment.
Example B
Sociology 110: American Society
After this course, you should be able to do the following:
2. Assessment Strategies
In what ways can you gather information that would tell you how well each student or the class as a whole achieved the instructional goals of the course?
• Essay exams?
• Project assignments?
• Weekly quizzes?
• Writing assignments?
• Oral reports?
Evaluation methods should be appropriate to the objectives and need to be planned when you design the course. For help deciding which assessment method is best suited to your objectives, see the chapter on Evaluating Teaching and Learning in this handbook.
Also consider student feedback in assessing how well your students are learning. Good grades aren't necessarily a good predictor of student learning; neither is your outside perspective as instructor.
3. Instructional strategies
Once you've mapped out the course objectives and determined how you'll assess student performance, you are ready to ask what kinds of learning experiences seem appropriate for students to master the course goals and objectives. Some strategies you can use to help students achieve the goals include:• Continuous series of lectures and readings, with one or two midterms
• Sequence of reading, reflective writing and discussions for each topic
• Field or lab observations, followed by readings and discussions
• Lectures, followed by field or lab work
• Assigned readings, followed by mini-tests (individual and collaborative), followed by a collaborative application project
• A developmental series: build knowledge/skills; work on small application projects; work on larger, more complex projects
• Grade contracts: For example, if students read text and pass exams they earn a C grade; if they also conduct research they can earn a B; if they also complete an extended project they can earn an A.
4. Learning Activities
We talk a lot about "active learning" in higher education and, at least intuitively, most of us have some idea of what it means to be actively involved in the learning process. But, just to be sure that everybody understands what we mean by the term, here are some general characteristics commonly associated with active learning:
• Less emphasis is placed on transmitting information and more on developing students' skills
• Students are involved in higher-order thinking (analysis, synthesis, evaluation)
• Students are engaged in activities (reading, writing, discussing)
• Greater emphasis is placed students' exploration of their own attitudes and values
A wide variety of instructional strategies for promoting active learning have been proven to enhance students' motivation, develop students' thinking skills, and improve students' performance. See Teaching Strategies above for a list of alternative activities and assignments, then choose the instructional approaches that best fit the course objectives you've chosen for your class.
