MongoDB is an open source, document-oriented database designed with both scalability and developer agility in mind. Instead of storing data in tables and rows as with relational databases, MongoDB stores data in JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas.
MongoDB is horizontally scalable, providing cost-effectiveness and flexibility for adding more computing power, memory, and storage capacity. As your data set gets bigger, you can simply add more servers rather than having to migrate to larger, more expensive hardware. You can incrementally adopt newer and faster compute platforms without throwing out the models you had before.
MongoDB's horizontal distribution model provides superior support for high transaction rate applications. As more servers are added, transactions are distributed across the larger cluster of nodes, linearly increasing database capacity. Additional capacity can be added virtually without limits.
What are SoftLayer hosted MongoDB solutions?
Our MongoDB solutions are turnkey big data solutions composed of SoftLayer dedicated servers with specific hardware configurations and a version of CentOS tuned to provide an enhanced platform for running MongoDB. We engineered these configurations and optimizations in strategic partnership with MongoDB, Inc. engineers. MongoDB comes with MongoDB installed and configured, accelerating deployment time and simplifying the database server ordering process.
Why MongoDB as a NoSQL option?
Easy scale-out and coding velocity ("agility"). The growth of big data and the need for scalable databases to store that data was the original catalyst for the NoSQL space. However, a secondary but often equally important factor in MongoDB adoption is increased software development agility.
MongoDB developers report big productivity gains writing their apps, and often use Mongo regardless of whether or not scaling out is required. While there are MongoDB systems that exceed one million operations per second, MongoDB is also used for many apps that easily run on a single server.
MongoDB makes app development faster because it:
- Eliminates object-relational-mapping work and the so-called "impedance mismatch." (Mongo uses JSON, which maps well to object-style data.)
- Allows dynamic schemas ("schemaless" operation), which is synergistic with agile software development methodologies, which themselves hugely speed project completion.
- Makes it much easier for the developer to store and manipulate complex data and polymorphic data.
- Reduces the amount of work required to scale out the application and increase system speed.
What can I do with MongoDB?
There are a wide range of use cases for big data solutions such as MongoDB, including:
- Operational intelligence
- Content management
- Product data management
- High volume data feeds
- User profile management

Can I load my data from the Internet or somewhere other than SoftLayer?
MongoDB has a variety of drivers provided on their website. These language-specific drivers allow you to interact with and push data into MongoDB. MongoDB is by default bound to private IP addresses. The application providing the data into MongoDB or the MongoDB instance itself will need to have access to the internet to be capable of loading data outside of the SoftLayer network. It is advised that this be done in a secure fashion using some form of VPN connection or other encrypted tunneling technology.
How do I get access to my logs?

Looking back on last week, the Philadelphia Flyers did the Nashville Predators a favor by signing Shea Weber to an offer sheet. By deciding to match the 14-year, $110 million offer, the Preds get Weber at a very attractive salary cap number and lock up the most important player in franchise history until his 40th birthday.
Weber has become one of the top five players in the NHL. His presence in Nashville, coupled with Pekka Rinne in goal, makes the Predators an attractive destination for free agents.
Yes, the first few payments will be a little high. Philly GM Paul Holmgren and his staff nearly pulled off a major coups by signing Weber to an offer sheet with a very low base salary with a very high bonus. With the potential for salary rollbacks in the ongoing labor discussions, the bonus is a number that cannot be rolled back. In 2005-06, the first season after the lockout, players accepted a 24% rollback in salaries. Guys that signed a $5 million annual contract were suddenly getting paid $3.8 million.
If there is another salary rollback, Weber wont be affected. The bonus money cant be touched.
Last night, the media received a press release from the Predators. It read:
In the most important hockey transaction in franchise history, Nashville Predators Chairman Tom Cigarran, President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile and CEO Jeff Cogen announced today that the team has matched the 14-year, $110 million offer sheet between the Philadelphia Flyers and defenseman Shea Weber, insuring that the Predators' captain will remain with the franchise for the next 14 years.
The decision to enter into the largest contract in franchise history was made by all parts of the organization, including ownership, hockey operations and business operations.
As the organization analyzed the overall situation and worked toward a conclusion, the decision boiled down to three questions:
- Was Shea Weber the individual that this franchise wanted to lead our team, a team that would compete for the Stanley Cup every year, for the next 14 years?
- Would matching the offer sheet be in the best long-term interest of the team and organization?
- Would a decision not to match the offer sheet send a negative message to current Predators players and other NHL organizations, a message that the Predators would only go so far to protect its best players and be pushed around by teams with "deep pockets?"
The answer to each of the above questions is clearly yes. The organization spent the last several days analyzing all aspects of the offer sheet, from economic implications to the impact on the team hockey operations puts on the ice.
Most importantly was the reaction to whatever decision the organization reached and the impact it would have on our fans, sponsors and marketing partners. We wanted to insure that our decision reflected not just the feelings of these groups but also conveys a strong message to them that our actions would speak for us and demonstrate our commitment to them. It was absolutely essential that they understand and believe that we are doing everything possible to ice a Stanley Cup competing team each and every season.
With this decision behind us, we continue to focus on our mission: Develop Bridgestone Arena into the number one sports and entertainment facility in North America with a Stanley Cup-winning Nashville Predators team as the centerpiece. With Shea Weber in the fold for the next 14 years, we are closer to this mission, and will continue to contend for the Stanley Cup on an annual basis.
If youre a fan of the Nashville Predators, that is a very exciting read.
Moving on
Defenseman Jon Blum has been working out in Nashville this summer with Preds strength and conditioning coach David Good. Blum needs to have a good camp with Nashville or risk being placed on waivers. He would certainly be claimed by another team. Theres a lot of ability there.
It was nice to visit with defenseman Mike Moore on Milwaukee Admirals Center Ice Monday night. Moore has been praised by Worcester Sharks coach Roy Sommer as an excellent open-ice hitter. Moore has held a leadership role with nearly every team hes been a part of. While it wouldve been nice to keep Scott Ford, Moore should be a more than capable replacement.
Make sure you stop by the Wisconsin State Fair and see us.

DURANT ŌĆö Poteau junior golfer Connor Wheat won his first-ever high school tournament on Friday, winning the Durant Invitational at Silverado Golf Course.
However, Wheat, who shot a 38-39ŌĆö77, had to go a little extra to win the title. Wheat had to go into a sudden-death playoff, and he won the playoff on the first hole.
Wheat wasn't the only Poteau golfer to place. Cody Shore, who opened the season by winning the Tulsa McLain/TSST Tournament last week in Broken Arrow, was third with a 40-39ŌĆö79.
As a team, the Pirates were third with a team score of 352. Jarrett Lowrimore shot a 47-47ŌĆö94, followed by John Scott Sanders (50-52ŌĆö-102) and Connor Bandy (58-55ŌĆö113).
ŌĆ£We have to start getting help from our No. 3 and No. 4 golfers,ŌĆØ said Poteau coach Mike Thomas.
The Pirates will hit the links next at the Seminole Invitational, which will begin at 9 a.m. Monday at Jimmie Austin Golf Course.

Artist biographies
Henri Le Fauconnier
Henri Le Fauconnier (1881-1946) moved in 1901 from northern France to Paris, where he first studied law and then took painting classes, at institutions such as the Académie Julian. He changed his surname from Fauconnier to Le Fauconnier and exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants for the first time in 1904. His style, initially Fauvist, influenced by Matisse, gradually shifted in the direction of Cubism, a major factor in this change being Cézanne's influence. At the Salon des Indépendants of 1911 Le Fauconnier and colleagues such as Fernand Léger and Robert Delaunay caused a scandal with their Cubist works. During his life Le Fauconnier was regarded as a leading figure amongst the 'Montparnasse Cubists', a status which allowed him to enjoy many contacts with other European avant-garde artists. At Kandinsky's invitation, for example, he wrote a theoretical text for the catalogue of the Neue Künstlerverein in Munich, of which he also became a member. His painting was later reproduced as an example of the latest art in the almanac Der Blaue Reiter, and was exhibited in Moscow.
Le Fauconnier was in the Netherlands when the First World War broke out and he ended up staying there for six years. By this time his work was a combination of Cubism and Expressionism which won him considerable success and influence in the Netherlands. In 1920 he returned to France where his output became more realistic and less innovative. Le Fauconnier died of a heart attack in 1945.

COLUMBIA — The Rock Bridge boys basketball team is striving for only one thing this season: a state championship. Anything less will fail to fill the void left after last season's run at the title was spoiled by Chaminade in the Final Four. At Thursday night's annual Green and Gold scrimmage the Bruins said they have their sights set on March again.

Burger King Gained 30% More Twitter Followers After Being Hacked
Burger King's Twitter account was hacked for about an hour on Monday, during which time the hackers sent out jokes about the company being sold to McDonald's and its employees doing drugs. It was a total disaster for Burger King, except for the fact that no one will remember the hacking by next week and the company gained 30,000 new followers in the process. So like I said, this was a total win for Burger King. From Slate:

By the way, Saturday's long trip to El Paso, Texas was Marshall's first plane trip since the three-game trip to Hempstead, N.Y., in November. Marshall had played 11 consecutive games over a 54-day stretch while never leaving West Virginia or neighboring states Ohio and Kentucky.

WEEK ONE of the Charleston Newspapers' venture into digital subscriptions is in the books.
In addition to the quality sports coverage you've come to expect during the week from the Charleston Daily Mail, don't forget to check in with us on our website, www.dailymail.com/sports, on Friday and throughout the weekend for updates.
For example, our West Virginia University athletics beat writer, Mike Casazza, has been on top of the football staff changes the past week. He was in Austin, Texas, Tuesday night when he had to bolt back to his hotel room to post a breaking news story on Dana Holgorsen's hires of assistant coaches Brian Mitchell and Tony Gibson.
The Daily Mail was first to report that ... and it hit the website Tuesday night before we put a bow on Wednesday's print edition.
When we know, you'll know it. That's our approach.
Then, during Saturday's Kansas State-WVU men's basketball game, Casazza learned that Holgorsen had hired Lonnie Galloway as receivers coach. That story was posted to the website in the middle of the first half.
In the moments after the game's conclusion, around 4 p.m., Casazza posted the game recap from K-State's narrow win over WVU to the website. This is additional content that complements our print product.
It's not just WVU content, however.
Our Marshall beat writer, Derek Redd, confirmed Marshall's hiring of defensive coordinator Chuck Heater at Wednesday night's home basketball game. That story couldn't make it into the print edition, but it was posted to the website at 2 a.m. so Herd fans perusing the Internet in the morning would see it.
Assistant sports editor Rich Stevens posted men's and women's State-UC game stories Saturday night.
If you need a little nudge to remind you when we update the website with breaking news content, you can follow us on Twitter (@SportsDailyMail) and like us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/dailymailsports). Each of those give you a one-click option in your Twitter timeline or Facebook feed.

TV Ads Whet Kids' Appetite for Junk Food
But study finds parents can counteract the influence by encouraging healthy choices
THURSDAY, Oct. 6 (HealthDay News) -- Food ads have a powerful influence on children's food choices but parents can lessen that effect, according to a new study.
It included 75 children aged 3 to 5 who watched two cartoons, with a commercial between each cartoon. Half the children saw a commercial for apple slices with dipping sauce and half saw a commercial for French fries.
After watching the cartoons and commercials, the children were allowed to select a coupon for one of the advertised food items, with input from their parents. Half of the parents were told to encourage their child to select the healthy food, while the other half were told to remain neutral.
Among the children who saw the commercial for French fries, 71 percent chose the coupon for French fries if their parents remained neutral, while only 55 percent opted for the French fries coupon if their parents encouraged them to choose the healthy food.
Of the children who saw the commercial for apple slices, 46 percent chose the coupon for French fries if their parents remained neutral, while only 33 percent picked the coupon for French fries if their parents encouraged them to make the healthy choice.
"Children were clearly influenced by the commercials they saw; however, parents are not powerless," noted study author Dr. Christopher Ferguson of Texas A&M International University, in a journal news release.
The study appears in The Journal of Pediatrics.
While the impact of food ads on children is considerable, Ferguson said that parents "have an advantage if they are consistent with their long-term message about healthy eating."

The Nosebleeds:
After practicing last Friday and continuing to work in a limited capacity throughout this week, hopes were high for Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski to play this Sunday versus the Jaguars in Jacksonville.
But alas, the broken forearm that has kept Gronk sidelined the past four weeks has also rendered him inactive this weekend, the Patriots announced today.
That makes quite a bit of sense considering the 2-12 Jaguars are not much of a formidable opponent and giving their most valuable redzone target an extra week to rest could make a big difference for his health down the stretch.
It's no certainty, but Gronk is expected to return for the team's final regular season game against the Miami Dolphins at home next week, giving him one game to tune up before the playoffs begin.

Opensuse 11: Alpha 2 with KDE 4
The biggest change to the second alpha version of Opensuse 11 has to be the inclusion of KDE 4, which now replaces the older KDE version 3.5.8.
Gnome users can look forward to version 2.21.90 of the alternative desktop. Live versions of both flavors give inquisitive users the option of risking a trial run without migrating to the current version which still contains a fair number of bugs.
Under the hood the distribution now has the new kernel 2.6.24, which not only supports more wireless cards, but also includes an improved scheduler and more efficient process management. At the same time, the tickless system at core of the distribution pays more attention to energy consumption.
A beta version of Open Office 2.4 handles office applications such as word processing, spreadsheets and slideshows. Wine 0.9.54 gives users the ability to run numerous Windows programs, and there is now a Qt 4 version of Sax2, the tool that Suse users have run to set up the screen resolution since time immemorial. On the subject of Qt: the developers are already working hard on a preview version of Qt 4.4.

Exercise seems to help those with Alzheimer's and dementia think better and behave more appropriately
By Judie L. Kinonen
Eight elderly people—most seated in folding chairs, a couple in wheelchairs—each wrap the ends of a brightly-colored necktie around both hands and stare ahead at a video, awaiting further instruction. On screen, a cheery middle-aged woman in a pink leotard, speaking above the upbeat cadences of ragtime music, asks the students to bend at the waist and wrap the necktie under the instep of one foot. Most students gradually comply, several of them managing a bent-knee stretch. Others can only lean forward, hold out their arms and crane their necks.
Overseeing the workout is Mari Berend, program director for Libbie's Place Adult Day Service in Galveston, a program offering recreational and social activities for older adults, particularly those with Alzheimer's disease or dementia—a group of conditions that gradually destroys brain cells and leads to progressive decline in mental function.
Berend, a tall, athletic-looking woman in her late 30s, watches the class and notes with more than a hint of irony, "They're not exactly synchronized." But citing benefits far beyond increased flexibility, strength, or endurance, she says time spent in any physical activity with this group is time well spent. "I definitely notice a difference in their attitude, both mentally and socially, after they exercise," she says.
That difference in attitude was one focus of recent research by UTMB rehabilitation specialists, who analyzed studies of older people with dementia and Alzheimer's disease who were involved in some kind of exercise routine. The findings suggest that exercise not only made these subjects more physically fit but it significantly improved their ability to think clearly and behave appropriately, reducing some of the most troubling symptoms of Alzheimer's, such as agitation, confusion, and aggression.
The findings will come as no surprise to anyone who has tried exercise as an intervention with older people, according to lead investigator Patricia Heyn, former postdoctoral fellow in UTMB's Division of Rehabilitation Sciences who now conducts dementia and exercise physiology research for the University of Colorado Health Science Center. Heyn says the seed for this study was planted by her own casual observation of a group of elderly people.
As wellness and health promotion manager for the City of Casselberry, Florida, in 1997, Heyn developed an exercise program for the city's seniors. Within just a few weeks, she saw what she expected—marked gains in the participants' physical fitness levels. But she also saw something more surprising. "Many of my students had cognitive impairments, and I noticed that after the exercises these students were more alert, spoke more ably, and presented in a better mood."
Her curiosity piqued, Heyn developed an exercise program in 1999 specifically for people with moderate to advanced Alzheimer's disease. After only a few weeks, participants' caregivers reported great improvements in their patients' mood, awareness, and disposition. These findings were published last year in the American Journal of Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias, but they were greeted with skepticism by scientists in the gerontological professional community, Heyn says.
At that point, there was some disagreement in the literature about the benefit of exercise among older people with dementia, says Kenneth Ottenbacher, senior associate dean in UTMB's School of Allied Health Sciences and an investigator on Heyn's more recent study. Everyone knows—as research has already established—that exercise has positive effects on the general population and on older people. But there had never been an attempt to look at the body of research related to older people with dementia. Research addressing this group had small sample sizes and yielded inconsistent findings. What the literature lacked was a synthesis of these small studies, Ottenbacher says.
So he, Heyn, and Beatriz Abreu, UTMB clinical professor of occupational therapy, gathered the thirty best studies on exercise intervention for people with dementia, asking whether physical activity benefited them in four areas: physical, functional, behavioral, and cognitive. The findings of this so-called meta-analysis confirmed Heyn's observation that exercise has significant, across-the-board benefits for older people with dementia, and causes a striking increase in what the authors called
"positive behavior."
The study, published in the October 2004 issue of Archives of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, raises more questions than it answers, Ottenbacher acknowledges: How much exercise is beneficial? How does a caregiver motivate people in this group to exercise? What specific type of exercise is best? The study also left unanswered the question of why. What is it about physical exercise that has a positive effect on the brain, even after dementia has set in? Heyn says this heart-brain connection is a scientific mystery outside the scope of this one paper.
What this research does offer, however, is a possible alternative to today's most common treatment for dementia—psychiatric drugs. Heyn says demand is growing for psycho-behavioral therapies which are non-drug strategies caregivers can use to address behavior problems in patients with dementia. She predicts that more people will choose these therapies as studies like hers prove they work.
She does not need to convince Berend or her Libbie's Place participants. Together, they do some sort of exercise every day, including tai chi, dancing, indoor volleyball, miniature golf, and walks along the beach.
Heyn says workouts in the analyzed studies were mostly aerobic, such as walking or swimming, and they were conducted four times per week for about forty-five minutes. This is a good rule of thumb for caregivers, but the health care community has yet to design specific guidelines or recommendations. Heyn, Ottenbacher, and Abreu hope this study will prod them to do so.

Polo Resources gave an encouraging update on the process to find a buyer or partner for Signet Petroleum as it reported a "high level of interest" in the assets.
The past month has seen some life breathed into shares of Polo Resources, the natural resources investment company. The stock up is up 18% in that period and was ahead 9% on Wednesday, with volumes spiking markedly late morning and building.
It is two months since Michael Tang took the helm of the investment firm Polo Resources, and judging from the news flow, he appears to have hit the ground running. If he is to see a profit on his investment, Polo must more than double in value, which explains why Tang has moved so swiftly and decisively.
