Quotes & Highlights
Watch a Web commercial for John Williams Is a Dick.
There are a lot of things in this world that make living difficult: bullying, fear of tomorrow, opening a Capri Sun, intense self-loathing. Most people are afraid to face the bad stuff: In John Williams Is a Dick, SPF7 not only faces the bad, but they tie it to a chair, duct-tape its mouth shut and make it watch Kevin Costner's "The Postman" on a constant loop. And they make it funny.
SPF7 is a comedy group from San Francisco. They have earned a strong following from their online shorts and regular shows. A majority of the time they are good friends.

Longtime _floss blog readers may recall my fanatical devotion to The Wire, an HBO show that recently wrapped up its fifth and final season. In my view, The Wire is important because it's smart TV -- it's a demanding, complex show that poses difficult questions and hesitates to give in to happy endings. It prompts thinking and discourse among its viewers, but manages to remain entertaining. While I appreciate "junk TV" too, I feel like smart TV is an important form to nurture. If you haven't seen The... READ ON
Any old professional athlete can toss in a few hundred thousand dollars and become a partner in a restaurant bearing his name. But for some jocks, that's not enough.

I, like most everyone else, am really looking forward to May 22, when the new Indiana Jones movie hits screens. Indy is the perfect hero, except for that one flaw: his fear of snakes.

Archaeology volunteers can help uncover history in UKtags: archaeology, history, volunteerism, crowdsourcing, Great Britain, UK
Researchers' recent confirmation that a body long hidden under a municipal parking lot is King Richard III will no doubt stir interest in British archaeology — as it should. While X never marks the spot and you're unlikely to unearth an undiscovered king, Britain's long history means that almost anywhere you plant a shovel, there's history to be found.
From Iron Age forts to Victorian gardens, hundreds of archaeological digs are happening in Britain at any given time – and many of them welcome volunteer diggers to help uncover the past. Instead of just visiting Britain's ancient churches, villages and stone circles, you could be part of the teams that are discovering new sites and artifacts every day. Just get ready for a little hard work....

A Voice Called
Really Worth Reading!
This is such an interesting book and so well written! This book is a compilation by author Yossi Katz of stories of Jewish heroism which are related to the reader with both pride and poignancy. A skilled storyteller, Katz will keep any reader captivated and pull on the heartstrings of Jew and non Jew alike. Well-known heroes such as Menachim Begin, Hannah Senesh and Barney Ross the boxer are included in this book. But it is the actions of the ordinary heroes who helped create and sustain the small country of Israel throughout its development and its battles for survival that really enhance this amazing collection of stories.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
The men and women that Katz writes about, some were born in Israel and others born in America or in Europe, but all have one thing in common, a devotion to the state of Israel and a pride in being Jewish. Here is an example of one of Katz's heroes...David Marcus, an All-American athlete and Rhodes scholar who left West Point when WWII broke out and renlisted in the army. He fought in Europe and actually was present at the liberation of Dachau Concentration Camp. Haunted by what he saw he became committed to helping establish a Jewish homeland in Israel. His remarkable life story is told by Katz. Marcus' story is only one of many incredible stories that will give you a greater faith in the goodness of human beings and in the belief that under duress people can behave in extraordinary ways.
What is most impressive about this book is that author Yossi Katz is able to relate everything that is key to a person's life and his/her spirit in just a few pages and he does this in such a moving way that the reader just wants to keep reading about more heroes. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I plan to share it with friends and family who i know will also enjoy it. I encourage others to get this book and read it, you wont' regret it!
Posted March 15, 2010
fantastic book for classes or for individuals
"A Voice Called" is a book that is obviously written by a passionate teacher.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
I had the priveledge of hearing some of these stories at Alexander Muss, as did my sons. We have told Yossi for years to write the stories that he has been using in teaching, and finally he has. Many of these short biographies are of people who are are less known, and deserve to be told. A wonderful variety of people from athletes to soldiers, and rulers to students, both men and women.
This is a great book for classrooms, or to give to your favorite child as a gift. You will not be disapointed or bored.
Yossi writes the way that he teaches, capturing the attention of the listener (reader) and teaching when they least expect it.
I highly recommened this book, as do my kids!

Big Data is everywhere. Predictive analytics and real time in-memory computing isn't everywhere.
This truth (if we can accept it to be so) represents something of an imbalance.
As a subset of data mining, predictive analytics driven by in-memory computing efficiencies now has an opportunity to bring real-time analysis and insight to fast-moving live transactional data flows. Or to put it another (rather shorter) way, we can now start to manage and understand Big Data better than ever.
Application use cases here might typically include:
- Meteorology
- Genetics
- Economics
- Climate simulation
- Oil exploration
- Financial analysis and scientific research
- Telecommunications, to name but seven good examples
If we combine contemporary approaches to predictive analytics with the newly arrived Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor that produces what is claimed to be over one teraflop per second in terms of workload computational power for highly-parallel workloads, then CIOs can start to think about what "50-processor core computing" will mean for us in the very near future.
Pushing forward in this space is SAP with its HANA in-memory computing appliance and platform. The firm is openly partnering with HP, Oracle, Cognizant and variety of other big (and smaller specialist) players to form strategic alliances that will help further the uptake of this kind of technology.
Why Is Analytics Working Better?
Part of the reason that in-memory predictive analytics intelligence is now becoming so important and much easier to bring to bear is hardware related and part of it is a software-related development.
On the hardware end, Intel has worked to sharpen data throughput between memory and processor cores. This means that work that goes on right in the heart of the machine that might have traveled at around five Gigabytes per second (Gbps) five years ago, now has a chance to move at 100 Gbps. On the software end, firms like HP and SAP have been working to produce what are typically referred to as "business process solutions" that can produce "context-aware experiences" to enable one sense-and-respond scenarios and, therefore, faster and more personalized interactions with customers.
As a matter of interest, HP also works to provide datacenter services to SAP that support its enterprise-wide hosting solutions for e-business applications - but that's another story.
In terms of actual application solutions running on SAP HANA, new products include the SAP Liquidity Risk Management application, the SAP Accelerated Trade Promotion Planning application and SAP Operational Process Intelligence software.
"These innovations show how SAP is rapidly delivering real-time, data-centric and industry-specific applications on the SAP HANA platform," said Dr Vishal Sikka, member of the SAP executive board for technology and innovation.
To take one example, SAP Liquidity Risk Management aims to provide banks with the ability to perform real-time, high-speed liquidity risk management and reporting on very large volumes of cash flows. In future then, banks will be able to instantly measure key liquidity risk ratios (such as the Basel III liquidity coverage ratio) and cash flow gaps to resolve potential liquidity bottlenecks. The application aims to allow banks to apply different stress scenarios, such as adjusted run-off rates and bond haircuts, to gain a deeper understanding of how market volatility can impact liquidity positions.
Lessons for CIOs
Now you don't have to be a bank CIO or financial analyst to understand the wider importance of this technology, i.e., this is the "harnessing of Big Data" catchline that you've already heard bandied about by countless IT firm's press departments, except now it's really happening.
The lesson for CIOs and the software application developers serving them is that we now have a route to predictive real-time analysis and the power to view billions of stored records and live transactional data at the same time. CIOs should look to their solution architects and business process experts to compose the analytical data models that will drive the next phase of their technology growth.
SAP is not the only firm driving this space, but its work to publicize its competencies in this arena is very prevalent. The fact that SAP pushes many of the interfaces for managing the result of its data analysis to both Apple iPad (and now Windows 8 format) mobile devices may have confounded Steve Jobs at the time, but this is the firm's proof point for showing off its Big Data number crunching applications. One day, quite soon, none of this will be a surprise.

I came across an interesting piece in BusinessWeek from December 2007 on one of my favorite subjects: Corporate Bailouts Through History.
It needs to be updated to include the Bear Stearns Bail Out, all of the Federal Reserve Lending to Financial firms, as well as whatever Housing Bailout the wizards in Washington come up with.

What a crazy week — and the market is the least of it!
We moved from our old space on Park Avenue & 49th (across from
the Waldorf) to larger quarters a few blocks over on 5th Avenue. I have been switching back and forth between Starbux and Bryant Park for internet access (and posting less because I have been out of the office more than in). The
furniture is in, the phones are hooked up, and tomorrow, rumor has it
Verizon will light us up with a big fat pipe, connecting us to that
series of tubes.
But what's been really odd is that a dozen seperate projects I have been working on for a few years now — some big, some small, all eclectic — have practically all-at-once, simultaneously, lurched towards fruition.
These include:
A major media project
I may join a new BoD
A fun little web project (its potentially very, very funny)
A significant quant application (this is a very powerful tool)
A brand new video venture
Two fascinating blog related advertising concepts
An expansion of an earlier book blogging idea
A new private equity fund
And that was just this week!
We will discuss more about these in the coming weeks; Just about all of them have a market/stock/economic component to them. I'll keep you up to speed with these as they develop.
I expect/hope that at least 3 of these 7 close before Halloween. . .

I previously mentioned A Demon of Our Own Design in a linkfest a few weeks ago. I enjoyed the book a great deal, and just about finished it over the long weekend.
The opening paragraph just reached out and grabbed me:
"While it is not strictly true that I caused the two great financial
crises of the late twentieth century—the 1987 stock market crash and
the Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM) hedge fund debacle 11 years
later—let's just say I was in the vicinity. If Wall Street is the
economy's powerhouse, I was definitely one of the guys fiddling with
the controls. My actions seemed insignificant at the time, and
certainly the consequences were unintended. You don't deliberately
obliterate hundreds of billions of dollars of investor money. And that
is at the heart of this book—it is going to happen again. The financial
markets that we have constructed are now so complex, and the speed of
transactions so fast, that apparently isolated actions and even minor
events can have catastrophic consequences."
Terrific stuff.
Indeed, I enjoyed the rest of the book. Bookstaber was on the scene in the early days of many of derivatives now contributing to market turmoil. He rather deftly makes complex issues readily understandable, regardless of how much advanced mathematics you may have under your belt.
And, he names names. LOTS of names. All the usual suspects come under scrutiny, as well as a lot of folks who probably assumed they were not int he public eye. There will be a lot of people not very happy with his blunt, insider descriptions of the analytical errors made by major players — many of whom are still around today and in positions of authority and power.
He also accepts a lot of responsibility for many costly errors he himself made.
Overall, a fun, very informative read.
I was intrigued enough by the book that I contacted Bookstaber (the author) and Wiley (the publisher), and asked for their permission to reproduce the first chapter. They graciously sent me a pdf and text version, which you will find after the jump: All of chapter one, in both text form and PDF. I also included some mainstream media reviews after the chapter.
I have pretty good relationships with many of the publishing houses — they all want to get a book or two out of me. Anyway, if it turns out you guys like this idea, perhaps we can offer up a book or two that I am reading every month in this same format. Maybe we can have an online reading group club — it could be a good place to have a full discussion. Share your thoughts.
Enjoy chapter one.
Disclosure: No, I don't accept money for this — it was my idea, and I approached the publisher and author about this — not vice versa. Please don't start bombarding me with offers to promote books I am not already reading. They will be unceremoniously deleted without response.
As noted in our disclosure section, we don't do payola here (if you click thru and buy it on Amazon, I do see some scratch).

Doctors, all dressed in white coats, cluster around their latest experiment, a new born child. The child wails from its place in the arms of one of the doctors. The childs cries turn into earsplitting shrieks and the surrounding doctors hold their heads with their hands.What is wrong with it?There must be a defectNeutralize it for gods sake The male doctors demanded many crude things be done to the child to calm it, while the females rushed around trying to sooth the child.Shut-up you idiots, there is no problem with the child, this is what all newborns do when they are first born A tall blonde female doctor stepped forward and snatched the child out from the other doctors clutch.Im sure you all have tests you need to run, try to regain what dignity you have left, I will tend to the child And
Max Ride- The Side Project 7Maximum Ride- The Side Project 7- ExperimentationIt had been 3 days since the attack at the shopping centre. Each day we would sit around in a circle, trying to come up with some sort of way out of this. We couldn't fly away; they'd come for Mum and Ella, plus we wouldnt get far with Rose to carry. We could take Mum and Ella, but again we wouldn't get far at all, theyd just catch up to us when we landed, which wed have to do eventually. Giving Rose back was out of the question well from my point of view anyway, now that she knew about, well everything, we couldn't just put her back and leave her alone. It was like we were in a circle room trying to find a corner. We were looking for something that just wasnt there."If we stay here they'll just keep coming!" I explained for the 100th time today."ARGH! I HATE THIS!" Gazzy slammed his hands on the table and sat up."Why should we have to leave? If they keep coming, let them come, they'll get bored eventually, s
Max Ride- The Side Project 6Maximum Ride- The Side Project 6- ShoppingI glanced at the boys as we got out of the car. They'd all put up a pretty good fight. While none of us really minded going shopping it, clean clothes and a hair cut are always welcome, but it was the fact that Nudge was tagging along and we had an unlimited credit card. Something in her eyes told us she was itching to do some extensive retail therapy. Gazzy looked miserable and Iggy seemed to be mimicking this emotion as well. Fang looked like he always did but I knew he was really not looking forward to what was ahead."Gazzy, malls don't just have clothes shops and things like that you know!" Rose assured him, thinking he just didnt like shopping in general."They have video game centers, and movie theatres, all sorts of different things they put in for guys who don't want to hang around while the girls shop!" That made him smile and tug at Iggys hand, repeating what Rose had just said to him, even though Iggy was more likely t
Max Ride- The Side Project 5Maximum Ride- The Side Project 5-IntroductionsWe need work out how to explain this to Angel, Nudge and Gazzy" Iggy reminded us, I nodded."I don't see why you can't just tell them" Rose said. I sighed."I see it now; hey guys! I need to tell you something, we kidnapped this girl, because we think she's an avian hybrid like us....well we're pretty sure but we're not positive, of course, she could be a bad guy ready to turn on us but were not sure, well have to wait and see" I looked at them, thinking my reason seemed reasonable."Well of course you wouldn't say it like that" Rose replied slightly annoyed. Fang nodded. Wait, Fang was agreeing with her? Fang agreed with no-one!"I'm just saying, not to blunt but straight forward is good""She's got a point""Well you guys seem to have it all sorted out, who needs me? Huh? Why dont you do it yourself" I crossed my arms and sat down, refusing to look at them."Max stop acting like a spoilt child, we just nee

She cried helplessly. I hurried out of the room, navigating my way back to the kitchen were I had left Max and Fang barely moments ago.Fang was gently massaging my shoulders when Iggy came in looking pale.Whats up? I asked shrugging off Fangs hands.What the hell is going on, whats with the girl? He demanded.

Confused I forced myself to look at her."For most birds Maturity is at the age of 1-2 years old, sometimes not even that. Thats when the Females release ovarys and the Males produce sperm.

Hi Burgers,
Food comas abound! This time of year for me usually means an abundance of watching National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation with the fam while my father in-law recites each of Chevy Chase's lines in real time!
It's quite a skill! (Apologies for the language).
I love the guy.
What are you guys up to this Thanksgiving?
That feel when too many things to do.
Take this:
– "Thanksgiving is coming. Your Relatives too."
– "How Europe sees Thanksgiving"
– "Is dressing as a Turkey for Thanksgiving still a thing?"
– "Happy Thanksgiving from Wednesday Addams"
We don't celebrate thanksgiving in The Netherlands…
At least there's no dinosaurs here…
And that's the truth!
I left the cat vacuuming til the last minute so I'm kinda busy…
We're gonna need a bigger Gravy Boat:

The three guest speakers who joined Chris Fitzsimon at today's NC Policy Watch Crucial Conversation luncheon delivered mostly optimistic messages about the long-term electoral prospects for progressives in North Carolina in the years ahead. For a variety of reasons — history, voter attitudes on the issues, improved organizational structures to name a few — Tom Jensen, Carol Teal, and Dan Blue III remain quite positive about the future. (We'll post a video of the event in the coming days.)
That said, there's no denying that there were some troubling and discouraging developments on November 4 — both in the elections results themselves and in the frustrating apathy of many potential voters who might have participated. In this vein, a regular NC Policy Watch contributor, Prof. Charles Beem of UNC Pembroke, recently authored the following election post mortem that is decidedly less optimistic.
Troubling takeaways from the election
By Dr. Charles Beem
There are a lot of disturbing takeaways from the recent election results. For progressives, Thom Tillis' narrow victory and the stronger-than-ever, gerrymandered majorities in the General Assembly and the state's congressional delegations were enough to make one feel as if the energetic Moral Monday protests and organizing efforts of the past couple of years have produced precious little effect.
Perhaps even sadder is the fact that it is clear today that a critical mass of citizens simply do not seem to care who gets elected to public office, while a highly motivated minority, whose hatred of President Obama defies a rational explanation, are the tail wagging the dog of contemporary America.
The day after the election I made the mistake of asking the eighteen students in my World Civilizations class how many of them voted last Tuesday. The answer was none, even though (or perhaps because, in part) North Carolina's voter repression law had severely circumscribed their ability to vote.
Scary, right? What is even more chilling is that earlier in the semester this same class read the book "How the Irish Saved Civilization," in which author Thomas Cahill persuasively attributed the fall of the Roman Empire (an empire plagued by structural decay, grave economic disparity between rich and poor, and barbarians at the gates — sound familiar?), to the fact that the Roman people ultimately did not care enough to intervene. Instead, they allowed the affluent to drive their civilization into the ground simply for their own short term economic benefit. Sad to say, not a single student made the critical connection between the lessons of history and their own reality as American citizens. Read More
