Mad About Macadamias
Nothing Equals the Flavour of Fresh Macadamia Nuts
Widely cultivated in Australia, Hawaii, South Africa, Kenya and Central America, macadamias are known throughout the world as a very tasty but decadent delicacy! The perceived "decadence" is likely due to the high fat content of this very rich nut. However, it's important to bear in mind that as with all nuts, the fat is mostly unsaturated. In fact, the oil from macadamias is considered to be very stable with the highest percentage of mono-unsaturates of any other plant food, exceeding that of both olive oil and canola oil. Other nutrients include Vitamins A1, B1, B2, niacin and essential elements such as calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium.
Like their nut "siblings," macadamias contain absolutely no cholesterol. A recent study at an Australian hospital concluded that eating between 6 to 20 whole macadamia nuts per day actually lowered harmful blood cholesterol by 7% and triglycerides by 25% when compared to a diet high in complex carbohydrates. Read about similar findings for walnuts elsewhere in this newsletter.
There are numerous studies into the health benefits of nuts in relation to heart disease and weight loss which is continuously being added to information pages easily found on the internet (see below for some nut info sources). So don't be scared to indulge your passion for macadamias and other nuts — they are good for you!
Info Sources:
Storing Macadamias
Their high oil content means macadamias are more susceptible to oxidation than other nuts, making proper storage a priority. All nuts are best stored in the freezer using tightly-sealed bags or plastic containers.
Using Macadamias
A helpful hint: when removing macadamias from the freezer, take only the amount of nut meats you plan to use and place them into an airtight container. In an open container the nuts will tend to rehydrate and may become soggy and less flavourful. After allowing an hour or so to adjust to room temperature, the nuts will be ready to use.
Like most tree nuts macadamias are definitely ready to eat in their "raw" state and quite delicious. Our expert nut taster Richard describes them as satisfyingly crunchy with a clean, milky taste and creamy finish. Mmm… nothing beats the taste of fresh macadamia nuts -- however, dry-roasting them brings out even more of their delicate flavour and is a very easy procedure. Read on for a simple roasting recipe as well as some other delicious recipes using the majestic macadamia nut!
Dry Roasted Macadamias
Pre-heat oven to 275ºF
Spread the nuts on a shallow baking tray
Roast for approximately 15-20 mins, stirring once half-way through
The South African macadamias we introduced in last season's product line-up were so superb that they required little or no seasoning. But if you do like a little salty taste, add the salt after roasting, while the nuts are still warm.
Sue's Roasted Macadamias
Follow directions for Dry Roasted Macadamias
After the initial 15 mins. roasting, transfer nuts to a bowl and add the following:
Bragg's All Purpose Seasoning -- a few squirts (this is a liquid seasoning, similar to soy sauce but less salty -- available at your health food store). If substituting with Tamari soy sauce, use less!
Jensen's Veggie Broth Mix (a superb, high-potassium mix of dehydrated veggies with NO added salt -- ask at your health food store) -- sprinkle enough to cover nuts.
Nutritional yeast - approx. 2 tb
Optional: dash of chili powder, cayenne, garlic or curry powder, or other favourite seasonings.
Mix together thoroughly, transfer nuts back to baking tray and roast for another 20-25 mins. If your oven is like ours and quickly overheats, turn it down to 200ºF for the second roasting. Remove from oven, leaving at room temperature for an hour or so before transferring to serving dish (they will stick to the baking tray but are easily dislodged).
Once cool, roasted nuts keep very well stored in a twist-tied plastic bag for weeks.

BTDT: Weight Loss in Hospital, etc.
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 07-15-2010 - 2:12pm
Hi ladies!
|Sat, 07-17-2010 - 1:48pm
I was a little overweight to begin with and I gained 35lbs during my PGcy. I highly recommended not going all out in terms of food and try to get some exercise daily. I tried to watch what I ate but if I was craving something, I went for it. I also walked nearly everyday but that is largely due to the fact that I take public transit to work and have to walk to/from the bus and train.
Within 2 weeks PP, I lost 25 of the 35lbs just from BFing. I've been struggling to lose the last 10 (and then some) because BFing causes me to be hungry all the time! I just weighed myself this morning and I'm down another 5lbs so still got the last 5 of the baby weight to go. I think I fit into my pre-pgcy clothes after 1 month but not comfortably. I had to go out and buy some fat pants but now those are big on me. I also had to buy a lot of new tops as most of my old ones are now too tight in the bust.
Like the others said, don't stress about it too much, esp. if you'll be BFing. I don't push myself to workout right now but I do try to watch what I eat.
|Sat, 07-17-2010 - 11:07am
With DS #1, I gained 39 lbs. I think when I came home from the hospital, I lost 12 lbs. Another 18 lbs. came off within 2 weeks, then the last stubborn 10 lbs. took a few months more.
With DS #2, I started out 10 lbs. heavier than I did before DS #1, but this time I only gained 33 lbs. Oddly, when I came home from the hospital, I only lost 4 lbs. (after having a 8lb11oz kid, LOL!) I was down 20 lbs. or so within the first month, and once again I had to fight to get the last 10 lbs off. At 3 1/2 months PP now, I'm 2 lbs away from my pre-preggo weight, but what counts to me is being able to wear all my pre-preggo pants, which I've been doing for over a month now.
|Fri, 07-16-2010 - 2:19pm
I gained 50lbs in pregnancy and then lost 25lbs within the first two weeks or so.
|Fri, 07-16-2010 - 4:04am
1. How much weight did you lose you in the hospital?
No idea, as they didn't weigh me there (or at any of my antenatal appts for that matter)
2. How much weight did you lose in the first month (including the birth)? -I lost all of my pregnancy weight
|Thu, 07-15-2010 - 9:10pm
I weighed 125 when I got pregnant and I was 165 on the day I delivered. I didn't weigh myself until 1 week PP, and at that point I was down to 140. By 1 month PP I was down to 134. By 2 months PP I was back to 125. At 3 months PP I was 118 and I stayed there until I weaned Ry, at which point I jumped back up to 125.
It was 100% because of BFing, but more specifically because of BFing a baby with food allergies. I had to cut dairy and wheat from my diet right after Ry was born because he was reacting to them in my BM and those were 2 cornerstones of my diet at the time. I didn't have the energy or time to learn to eat right at that time (no sleep, colicky newborn hell, haha), so I had like 3 things I knew I could eat. I literally felt like I was starving to death and Ry was sucking all the nutrients out of me. Eventually he slept a little more and I did a little research and ate a little better, hehe.
|Thu, 07-15-2010 - 5:55pm
I was really similar to Grace. I gained about 45 pounds and lost about 20 during delivery/birth. The rest I lost within about two months. I fit into all my old clothes by three months without having to do anything besides going for lots of walks with my LO and breastfeeding.
I definitely wouldn't worry about the weight loss until months after the baby has come, there are enough other things to worry and deal with!
|Thu, 07-15-2010 - 5:37pm
I gained almost 40 pounds during my pregnancy
1. How much weight did you lose you in the hospital?
I think between 15 and 20
2. How much weight did you lose in the first month (including the birth)?
By my six week appointment I had lost over 30 pounds. My MW actually warned me not to lose weight too quickly! But I had a lot of water weight I gained at the end, and I had very little appetite when I first got home from the hospital. I did not even come close to fitting in my normal clothes at this point!
My weight loss really leveled off after the first month or so, and I hovered about 5 lbs above my starting weight until around 4 months postpartum, at which point DH started trying to lose weight so I ate healthier, and I started teaching dance again. I then dropped the last 5 lbs and a few additional pounds (and I ate a ton - yay BFing!) Those last few pounds were tough to lose but the first 35 were pretty effortless.

In July the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) published crash test results for the "small overlap front crash test," in which only one of the 12 cars tested earned a "good" rating. These results, combined with the results of earlier tests, led Consumer Reports to publish a headline reading, "Most Small Cars Bomb New Small-Overlap Crash Test." At the same time, Nissan presented an excellent paper on the computer simulation challenges of the small overlap test. This is an example of the increasingly stringent requirements for automotive safety and why the use of high performance computing (HPC) for crash safety simulation is critical in the automotive design process. There are dozens of crash load cases evaluated … [Read more...]

Student Teams Prepare for Cluster Showdown
The annual Supercomputing conference, which will be held this year Nov. 16-21 in New Orleans, Louisiana, is a can't-miss event for the supercomputing world. It's five days of exhibits, conferences and networking that showcase current innovations in the industry. It's also the forum for the Student Cluster Competition (SCC), a 48-hour, nonstop challenge for 12 teams of undergraduate and/or high school students. Their mission: Assemble a small cluster computer and race to demonstrate the greatest sustained performance on several applications, three of which they'll know in advance and one that's a mystery until the competition starts. The only restrictions on hardware are that the teams must not exceed the 3,120-watt power limit … [Read more...]
Exascale Computing for Seismic Exploration
The exascale race — toward machines capable of executing 1 quintillion (1018) operations per second — is well under way. The U.S., Japan, China and Europe have all established programs to enable exascale capabilities by around 2020. In the U.S., leading the charge toward significant HPC milestones usually falls to the Department of Energy (DOE): Both its Office of Science and the National Nuclear Security Administration have significant interest in and benefit from ever-increasing levels of modeling, simulation and data-processing capabilities for a variety of applications. Both can leverage critical resources (facilities and people), institutional expertise and deep know-how, if not intellectual property, in this pursuit. Not all … [Read more...]

Resolve Network
4550 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Suite 301
United States
Vijaya Thakur, Tanya Tuzman, Abayomi Taiwo
Resolve Network empowers women most affected by conflict to reclaim their lives, rebuild communities, and build peace from the ground up. We target solutions at the root of violence: access to power and resources. Step-by-step, our three-tiered approach counters the cycles of violence that culminate in genocide.
The tiers build from Micro to Macro: (1) Individual, (2) Communal, (3) Societal. We start by empowering women survivors through literacy and microfinance. Then, together we work to rebuild public services such as access to clean drinking water, sanitary latrines, education, and more. Finally, we grow to societal projects addressing security, health, and civic participation.
Resolve has already begun to shift the landscape of peacebuilding. Our programs are designed to empower networks of women to not only break, but to also counter the cycles of violence and become the source of sustainable peace and development in their communities. Working with women at the grassroots level has a multiplier effect, and we design all of our programs based around that knowledge. Working with one woman will raise her entire family out of poverty; working with a small group of women will raise their entire community out of poverty.
Our three tiered, participatory approach builds from micro to macro, starting at the foundation and building up with cumulative and upward momentum. We begin with the individual, empowering women survivors through literacy and microfinance. From there, we work together to rebuild communities and public services. Finally, we grow to the societal, with projects addressing security, health, and civic participation.
In the first tier we use microfinance to empower women to reclaim their lives and earn a sustainable income. Instead of adding interest to the microloans, which often creates a burden rather than an accountability system, our microfinance program uses a group lending practice that asks women to form small co-ops and meet weekly in efforts to promote repayment. These weekly co-op meetings create strong social support network, and helps bridge the first and second tier of our programs. The second tier is dedicated to working with the women's co-ops as they identify unmet needs in their communities and then design and implement programs to meet those needs (sanitation and water supply, agriculture, education, etc). To further a sense of ownership over these projects, a portion of the loan repayment from the microfinance program are used to provide these services to their communities. Finally, the third tier uses technology to connect isolated and communities for broad-based societal change. Women unite across war-affected provinces to develop and implement their visions for a better future.
Tier 1:
Financial Literacy and Microfinance Program
The financial literacy program is a two week program, facilitated by local economist who volunteer their time to to train participating women (approx 40 in a class) in debt management, budgeting, financial negotiations. savings, banking services and finally develop a business plan. Upon completion, the women are required to review their business plan with facilitators and field staff and pass Financial Literacy Exam. Included in the business plan, will be a thorough budget that includes cost of start-up and personal expenses. If women do not pass exam the first time or business plan is not accepted they have two more chances to redo both.
Microfinance Program
Once the Financial Literacy Program has been completed women are given $60-$80 interest free loan and sign agreement that requires them to repay at minimum 2% a week or 10% of loan, attend weekly group or co-operative meetings with fellow participants and monthly one on one meetings with field staff. Although, there are checks and balances built into program, however if women do default on loan, they are eligible to retake the class and receive another loan. Within a year of the loan disbursement, women should repay entire loan and no longer be living at the poverty level. On the programmatic side, field staff who works weekly with group and monthly with individual woman, keep records of financial gains and lose, monitors participation, and measures and records point system on monthly basis.
Tier 2:
Community Building Projects
After approximately 6 months of loan repayments and while attending co-op meetings, women begin to plan and implement which various community building projects they wish to use a portion of their pooled loan repayments on. This list non-exhaustively includes water and sanitation projects ) installing water pumps, irrigation systems, and latrines), health education, and voter education and registration. Women utilize their own decision making skills and choose the top three projects to undertake ( depending on manpower needed and cost). These projects take anywhere from 3 to 9 months to be implemented. At the moment women hire outside people to implement projects, but Resolve hopes to increase knowledge management and human capital among the women, which will enable them to learn, teach and implement the community projects themselves.
Share the Seeds
The second community building program called Share the Seeds, is a demo field project that enables 10 female farmers having gone through microfinance program to work with an agriculturist on their plot to experiment with optimal growing techniques and produce ( cabbages, onions, carrots, etc) for sustainable agriculture. The women are able to sell produce and keep revenue, but are required to share the seeds with community and educate 5 women to do the same. This program prevents women from having to walk in perilous areas for 6 hours to the bordering county Rwanda to purchase those same produce for selling.
Tier 3: Technological Innovation
Technological innovation is the cornerstone of the third tier. Increasing women's access to technology can have substantial and multiplying effect on every aspect of peace building and development from security to health to education to economic development and so forth. In efforts to combat gender specific structural violence, access to technology can reduce isolation often found in the rural communities. Technology enables women to inform others of injustices brought onto her and her family in real time without having to walk dozens if not hundreds of kilometers in dangerous terrains. This is the reason we developed Crisis Mapping, Community Mhealth, and Women in the Media programs, so that women can use mobile phones and netbooks to alert on the ground task forces for help, access healthcare in their villages while communicating with nurses in the cities, and take control of how their stories are told. By targeting women and developing programs where the technological tools are designed specifically for them, we are transforming lives and enabling women to significantly alter the economic, social, and political structures in their communities and abroad.
Crisis Mapping and Early Warning System
Crisis mapping is a unique method to counter isolation by leveraging the power of connection. This particular crisis mapping program, was originally a Columbia University/USAID pilot project, which Resolve took over. This program uses a decentralized cell phone based SMS platform for collating events information. The pilot program, which was launched in a total of 19 villages over the 2009-2011 year period (4 in Kalehe, 6 in Walungu, 4 in Mwenga, 3 in Uvira), provides cell phones to three community members (one representing traditional leadership, one representing women's groups, one elected by communities), monthly credit, solar charger, and a codesheet of possible events, the recipients were able to send messages about theft or violence in the area. Using Frontline SMS software, the during a violent episode, recipients send numeric or text posts to a phone number linked to laptop at the headquarters. We use the data to adapt existing early warning models to better identify local signs of rising security threats. The ultimate objective is to predict and prevent violence by coordinating early response mechanisms with our partners from the UN mission's Rapid Response Task Force. We are ready to expand the program throughout Eastern Congo and connect Congolese civilians to relevant parties for fast intervention and humanitarian assistance.
Women Empowerment Network (WENet)
In efforts to quell the "the danger of a single story" (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie), which often depicts African women as destitute victims, Resolve wishes to provide a platform for women to tell their own stories. WENet program is designed to provide that platform for women to share their experiences, best practices, and advice to women on the local, regional, and international level. Women will have various opportunities to interact with the world. Using various media platforms like, radio commercials, marketing campaigns, and video tutorials, participating women will be able to share their best practices and new techniques with other women on the local level. The women in the villages will be given the platform to be heard as they speak with people all over the world about her experiences through " Day in the Life" on the ground coverage, that will collect footage of their lives.
Community Health Program
The Community mHealth program is designed to improve health by increasing the local health workforce with trained Community Health Workers and utilizing mobile technologies. Integrating rural health care training with Medic Mobile opensource software, our program connects remote villages to urban health care providers. We facilitate trainings with our partner, Panzi Hospital, and build information and communication networks between community health workers and local clinics and hospitals to create a system of superior patient care. This program, which will launch it's pilot program in a rural Eastern Congo village during the Spring of 2013, already has 46 health centers and 6 hospitals including Panzi that have signed on to participate in this program in the future, enabling Resolve to potentially reach nearly 30,000 community members.

Economist survey foresees shift in IT service delivery
63% of LOBs expected growth of third-party tech services, while increased spending on enterprise IT services is anticipated by 65% of CIOs
Who would you trust more to fix your car, a licensed mechanic or a guy who once saw someone do an oil change? The choice should be simple. But surprisingly, the debate over trusting an expert versus someone who claims to be an expert happens every day across all industries, so it shouldn't be shocking that the debate rages in the cloud, too.
Service Level Agreements (SLA) serve as a roadmap and a warranty for cloud services offerings. All cloud providers offer standard, one-size-fits-all SLAs that cover availably, performance, security, disaster recovery, response times, compliance and termination. This may be adequate for pure cloud applications, however standard SLAs fall short when it comes to hybrid cloud deployments.
European CIOs looking to integrate applications across public and private Clouds will soon have a new option with a data orchestration service from Deutsche Telekom and Informatica.
Bill Hilf, Senior Vice President of Product and Service Management for HP Cloud, brings an interesting perspective to his job given his former role as General Manager of Product Management for Windows Azure, Microsoft's cloud platform. Network World Editor in Chief John Dix and Senior Editor Brandon Butler got Hilf on the line for his big picture view of the importance of OpenStack, why HP recently acquired Eucalyptus, the impetus to compete on price, and the various cloud delivery options customers are pursuing.
With mobile devices rapidly becoming the tools of choice for enterprise work, IBM wants to help IT departments make sure they can serve all users.
Like some of its major competitors, would Amazon Web ever offer an on-premises private cloud management software?
In search of agility and low overhead, companies are putting as many applications as practical in the cloud. But the resulting hybrid IT environments, where certain applications remain on-premise for security or other reasons, can result in data integration issues that reduce efficiency drags and hamper agility.
It may be a minnow in a market of whales, but Finnish cloud service company UpCloud is hoping that improving its storage performance and adding datacenter capacity in Chicago will make customers take a look.
Some fairly large Internet services are pressing into production Facebook's open-source PHP runtime engine after being impressed with the performance metrics for the alternative to the ubiquitous open-source PHP package used across the Web.
A service interruption on Azure storage services late Tuesday was caused by Microsoft's attempts to roll out a performance update that had been earlier tested for several weeks.
63% of LOBs expected growth of third-party tech services, while increased spending on enterprise IT services is anticipated by 65% of CIOs

Kanye West gets caught on camera attacking the paparazzi again! Now fans of Kanye know this isn't abnormal behavior for Mr.West.
If Kanye isn't slapping somebody, screaming randomly while on stage, or simple just being a very weird individual, then I wouldn't like Kanye. I like Kanye when he's crazy. He keeps Hip-Hop interesting.
Optical illusions can play some really weird tricks on our brains. We think we're looking at one thing and then... sike! It's something else. Honestly, what the heck. But you know the best type of illusions? The photograph kind, because they can be all sorts of awesome, strange and funny
This story is a little strange and funny at the same time with a Florida woman being arrested and detained after kissing a cop on the nose. I guess kissing up didn't work this time.
Rihanna is definitely living up to her "Bad Girl" image while touring in Europe, and people think the latest video of her twerking to a Drake song is a, not so subliminal message to Chris Brown.
Just because Kanye West and Kim Kardashian named their child "North West" does not give people the right to say what they want about a defenseless baby.
A UK robber decided to stick up a gas station wearing a plastic bad over his face. Let us all at once crown him as the idiot of the day. Anytime you decide to rob somebody or a store, you usually try to conceal your identity.
As men we are not built to understand the mind of a woman. However over time there has been self help books to be released for that sole purpose: the breakdown and anatomy of relationships with women.
Today is the first time I have crowned a group of people as the "idiot(s) of the day." In Beverly Hills, California a group of moms known as the 'Marijuana Moms' are smoking weed because they seriously believe it makes them better parents. They have some valid reasons but I don't agree.
I guess so many women want to be like Nicki Minaj and get the plastic surgery to enhance their beauty. Today I found out that Tracey Lynn Garner of Mississippi posing as a plastic surgeon has been charged for giving butt implants that have caused a second person to die.
If you work in the restaurant business as a server, you hate the idea of dining and dashing. Some people think it is cool but really it's super weak sauce. Anthony Malabehar has learned the hard way about dining and dashing because he was recently sentenced to three years in jail. Check please.

It hasn't been an issue so far. She is 8 and is pretty much interested in top 40 pop stuff which I don't have a problem with. She is into Avril Lavigne these days. At this point I would probably forbid something like Eminem which I think sends a really bad message, and also I don't like his music so it serves two purposes. LOL She did seem to think she had a thing for Blink 182 so I looked them up and I thought they were way inappropriate for a 7 year old, so I said no way. But once she's older, 11 or 12 I don't think I would necessarily forbid any music, but I wouldn't necessarily buy it with my money. She is going to hear it from friends and on MTV and wherever else anyway, but that doesn't mean I have to spend my money on it.

Right now, she's pretty much stuck listening to what I listen too. I won't let her older brother (He'll be 16 in September) play his stuff in the car when the girls are there. She's really into the Uncle Kracker song Drift Away, and she likes 3 Doors Down. I of course don't let her listen to anything with foul language in it.

DD has grown to like all types of music thanks to the wide variety that we listen to. She likes country, hard rock, 80s hair bands (my fault!), jazz, and hard rock/heavy metal. At 3 yrs old she knew all the words to Meatloaf's 'Two out of three ain't bad' thanks to DH! We now listen to alot of the newer Hard Rock (Trapted, Rob Zombie, etc.) and she loves the beat. She knows some of the words and knows what she can say and not say. She is not into the 'top 40' much because we don't listen to it but she has her Kidz Bop CDs, etc. and likes them. I'm sure her music taste will change as she moves into kindergarten!

In big data computing, and more generally in all commercial highly parallel software systems, speed matters more than just about anything else. The reason is straightforward, and has been known for decades.
Put very simply, when it comes to massively parallel software of the kind need to handle big data, fast is both better AND cheaper. Faster means lower latency AND lower cost.
At first this may seem counterintuitive. A high-end sports car will be much faster than a standard family sedan, but the family sedan may be much cheaper. Cheaper to buy, and cheaper to run. But massively parallel software running on commodity hardware is a quite different type of product from a car. In general, the faster it goes, the cheaper it is to run.
Time Is Money
As has been noted many times in the history of computing, if you are a factor of 50x slower, then you will need 50x more nodes to run at the same speed (even assuming perfect parallelization), or your computation will need 50x more time. In either case, it will also be much more likely that you will experience at least one of your nodes crashing during a computation. This is not to argue that automatic fault tolerance and recovery should be ignored in the pursuit of speed, but rather that these two factors need to be carefully balanced. Good design in massively parallel systems is about achieving maximum speed along with the ability to recover from a given expected level of hardware failure, via checkpointing.
The key phrase here is "a given expected level of hardware failure". In certain types of peer-to-peer services which take advantage of idle PC capacity, it is necessary to assume that all machines are extremely unreliable and may go offline at any time. However, in a commercial big data cluster it may be reasonably asssumed that almost all machines will be available almost all of the time. This means that a much more optimistic point in the design space can be chosen, one which is designed much more for speed than for pathological failure scenarios.
The MapReduce model is an example of a model where speed has been sacrificed in a major way in order to achieve scalability on very unreliable hardware. As we have noted, while this is acceptable in certain types of free peer-to-peer services, it is much less acceptable in commercial big data systems deployed at scale.
Google, the inventors of the model, were the first to recognize the throughput and latency problems with the MapReduce model. To get the realtime performance they required, they recently replaced MapReduce in their Google Instant search engine.
The MapReduce model of Apache Hadoop is slow. In fact, it's very slow compared to, for example, the kinds of MPI or BSP clusters that have been routinely used in supercomputing for more than 15 years. On exactly the same hardware, MapReduce can be several orders of magnitude slower than MPI or BSP. By using MPI rather than MapReduce, HadoopBI gives customers the best possible big data solution, not only in terms of performance - massive throughput and extremely low latency - but also in terms of economics. HadoopBI is not just the fastest Big Data BI solution, it is also the cheapest at scale.
It's Free, But Is It Fast Enough?
Another frequently misunderstood element of big data economics concerns so-called "free" software. It has been argued by some that, since big data software needs to be run on many nodes, it is really important to have software that is free. Again this is an extreme oversimplification that ignores the dominant cost issues in big data economics. At large scale, software costs will in general be much smaller than hardware or cloud costs. And commercial software vendors should ensure that they are, if they want to stay in business.
Consider the following small-scale example. A company needs to process big data continuously in order to maximize competitive advantage. For simplicity, we will assume that the cost of running a single server (in-house or cloud) for one hour is $1, and that the company has a choice between two big data software systems - system A costs $1,000 per server and system B is free, but system A is 8x faster. Choosing system A, the company requires 5 servers, working continuously, to achieve the throughput required. However, if the company chooses system B, it will require 40 servers running continuously.
Simple arithmetic shows that within just six days, the initial cost of system A has been recovered, and from then on system A gives the company massive cost savings. Even if system A is only 2x or 3x faster and more efficient than system B, the initial cost will still be recovered in a matter of a few weeks.
The economic advantages of speed at scale are magnified even more in large-scale big data systems where, with volume licensing discounts, the payback time for super-fast software is even shorter.
The lesson of the above example is simple and very important. In parallel systems, speed at scale is king, as speed equates to efficiency, and efficiency equates to massive cost savings at scale. So, to be relevant for large scale production deployments, free parallel software has to be at least as fast and efficient as the best commercial software, otherwise the economics will be solidly against it. Some examples of free software, such as the Linux operating system, have achieved this goal. It remains to be seen whether this will also be the case with highly parallel big data software. In the meantime, it's important to remember that "free software is cheap, but fast software can be even cheaper".

Selena Gomez Is a Bumping + Grinding Nature Nymph in 'Come & Get It' Video
Selena Gomez is a nature nymph in her video for 'Come & Get It.' One thing is for certain: She's all grown up.
Selena Gomez is a nature nymph in her video for 'Come & Get It.' One thing is for certain: She's all grown up.
In light of the massive drama this season between 'American Idol' judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, the multi-octave diva is pretty much guaranteed to walk out -- and the producers of the now-struggling Fox juggernaut are eyeing some unbelievably huge names to fill in the panel.
Names like Pink, Diddy, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez!
Something stinks in Selena Gomez land. The 'Come & Get It' singer is being sued by a perfume company!
It may be spring, but celebs were out and about this week in lots of black. Then again, black is universal and works for almost any season, although not in every style.
For example, Jennifer Aniston was a big winner this week in black shorts, while Selena Gomez was a golden goddess. Sadly, Kat Von D donned an unfortunate catsuit, while Ashley Olsen was swallowed by a camel-colored coat. And of course we have another poorly chosen non-maternity Kim Kardashian ensemble.
Selena Gomez has been taking passive aggressive digs at Justin Bieber since they first broke up, and she kept the momentum going with her Monday night interview on 'The Late Show With David Letterman,' where she and the adorably gap-toothed host poked fun at her ex's misery.
And this time instead of doing a lame dance, Gomez was actually charming and funny.
During Selena Gomez's appearance at SXSW yesterday (March 11) to promote the upcoming film 'Spring Breakers,' she and her castmates broke into an impromptu performance of '...Baby One More Time.'
A performance, we should say, that was buzzworthy enough to get even Britney Spears' attention.
O-V-E-R. It really is over for Jelena. Justin Bieber admitted that he and Selena Gomez are no more in his cover story for Billboard, the only major interview that the teen has done to support the release of 'Believe Acoustic.'
The buzz about Harmony Korine's 'Spring Breakers' - you know the one with James Franco with the cornrows and Selena Gomez with the bikini... - has been largely positive since it hit the festival circuit last year, and now comes the first official poster for the film, which makes it look like exactly the kind of movie you think it is.
In what sounds sort of weird for a couple so young, Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber may be going to couples counseling.
Is there trouble in paradise again for Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez? Rumor has it that Gomez's ex, Nick Jonas, may be coming between the couple -- but not in the way you're probably thinking.
What do you get when you mix Selena Gomez, a few of her friends, and her BFF Taylor Swift's new single? A video by Gomez + Co., of course!
His third single off the multi-platinum "Believe" album and video features the ultimate diva Nicki Minaj.

The sky is fallingFebruary 27,2013The meteor that came down over Russia recently, creating considerable damage and even more shock, is a reminder that there are more bits of matter floating in space than you can see, and its logical that an object with the gravitational pull of the Earth can attract them intermittently.
The problem for those on Earth is to figure out when such events are likely to happen, and what to do about it.
A little over a century ago, a meteor even larger than the recent one landed in a remote spot in Siberia, flattening forests for hundreds of miles around.
In the 1930s one that was probably about the size of the recent one came down in the Atlantic. Because there was no disruption on land it attracted only casual news comment. If the recent Russian one had come down between Chicago and Pittsburgh, you can guess what sort of damage and death would have ensued.
The Earth has been punched by larger entities over the years. The age of the dinosaurs came to an end when a big object slammed into what is now the Caribbean, followed in a geologically short time by another that landed west of what is now India. It is quite likely that asteroid landings have brought about the ends of earlier geological periods as well.
The asteroid that passed close to the Earth earlier this month was said to be the size of a football field. The big hole in the Arizona desert came from a meteor or asteroid that hit about 50,000 years ago. It is only a matter of time before another one will become caught in our gravitational field.
Several years ago astronomers spotted an asteroid whose orbit they thought would lead it to hit the Earth in 2029. Further study refined that thinking into a belief that it will come close enough in that year to be seen in daylight by the naked eye. Computer analysis says that if it passes a specific point in the sky during that year, it will be on track to hit the Earth in 2035.
Its big enough to have a name as well as a number. The watchers called it Apophis, after the Egyptian god of destruction, because its big enough to cause considerable destruction if it hits us. Its too big to be broken up into pieces so small theyll burn out before they hit the Earth. Apophis is about as long as East Mountain, if not quite as tall. Breaking it into eight or a dozen pieces would merely cause the damage to be more widespread.
And when something that big slams into the Earth, the impact has an effect beyond the surface damage it causes.
Something that big pushing into the Earths molten core sets off intense volcanic activity elsewhere. You can remember the disruption to air travel caused by a single volcano in Iceland. Imagine if every volcano on the globe were to erupt at the same time.
The atmosphere everywhere would be totally shrouded, bringing about untold changes in whatever life remained.
So there are two decades in which human beings have a chance to figure out some way to nudge that asteroid into an orbit that will remove it from an Earth collision. Let us hope they not only do that, but set up a global watch for other chunks of matter that are on track to intercept the Earths orbit.

Solomon Elimimian is strictly full tilt, all the time. 49 tackles going into week 7 is crazy. The next closest baller is Adam Bighill who is sitting at 28 tackles and is on the other side of the Lions defense. If you really know football there is no doubt Solomon should be in the NFL, and playing in a TAMPA 2 somewhere as a weak side linebacker. He reminds me of Shelton Quarles, former teammate (lions 1995) and sickly athletic, who lined up next to Derrick Brooks a HOF 2014 in one of the greatest defenses ever.
I remember asking Shelton how much weight had he put on in Tampa his reply, "I have to keep it under 225lbs, we have to be quick and fast." Solomon is quick and fast and wears #56. You wear it well Solomon.
Ricky Ray, and Drew Willy are not posing for this Marianne Helm shot. Let's play "let's get deep." Isn't this photo foreshadowing? Did Marianne plan this juxtaposition of established vs up and coming, age vs youth, or body of work vs rising star, #1 vs #2? Either way both are dangerous with the rock in their hands, choose your poison.
When Brayden Lenius's mom asked me to help her son get a scholarship to the NCAA the best way was get Brayden then 16 years old noticed. Private school Chaminade HS in So.Cal was chosen for his senior year. At 6'6 220lbs this Brayden was the highest recruited wr out of Canada in years
with more potential then a top rated Kickstart project. In LA he got the coaching, and competition he needed to blossom, and BLEW UP. USC, and UCLA sideline passes led to big mail and trips, and visits. On National Letter of Intent day he signed live from the ROSEBOWL on FOXSPORTS,right along with the other TOP SHELF 4-5 STAR KIDS. He's going to be wearing purple and bling gold NIKE, at U of W head coach with Chris Peterson. My work is done.
We always sleep on the ankle. He is so underrated in the greater scheme of things. He isn't an ACL, MCL, or torn or ruptured Achilles. He's a sprain, or a high sprain, or rolled or worse yet broken. This is our image of the separated ankle of running back Andrew Harris of the BC Lions. Good Luck Andrew get well soon.
