Review this movie
Jan 22, 2011Was not sure what to expect coming into the movie but was very pleased with it. Young Leonardo DiCaprio was as good as he was in Inception. Mark Wahlberg did not get very much recognition for the film, I actually did not even know he was in it until the credits rolled, but did an equally astounding job. Basketball Diaries was mos definitely edgy pushing the limits. A fine addition for DiCaprio lovers and movie collectors.… Expand
The movie is unconvincing. At the end, Jim is seen going in through a "stage door," and then we hear him telling the story of his descent and recovery. We can't tell if this is supposed to be genuine testimony or a performance. That's the problem with the whole movie.

Booked months ago, and paid in advance to get a very large discount, otherwise, probably would not have stayed here. Convenient location, very nice room. Lots of pillows. Breakfast expensive.

Relunia family time!

There are numerous applications for cost-effective data retention. Organizations can gain substantial competitive advantages when able to rely on data retention for improved decision making and trend analysis. Research enterprises can make use of large scale data sets enabling them to study information more completely than ever before.
Simplified data retention on a massive scale speeds up access time to Big Data. Big Data is defined as large-scale data sets that are too large to analyze and manage using ordinary methods. This data in both structured and unstructured form is valuable and comes from sources such as trading systems.
In many cases existing systems cannot process data of this variety and volume. Some organizations store such data in file systems so as not to overburden their databases. This may be a temporary stop gap, but it will not suffice in the long run. Because Big Data is increasing at an exponential rate, this is only a temporary solution. It's likely that machine-generated data will exceed the processing capability of conventional systems. The cost of extracting this data can be so high that many organizations will just shy away from it.
Today technology is just beginning to address Big Data issues. Many organizations try to apply existing strategies to manage this data effectively. Standard methods from relational database queries to complex analysis tools are being used. Data retention software is also being applied to extract relevant information from Big Data sources.
Currently Big Data retention technology is available that is scalable and easy to implement. Using this technology it's possible to access Big Data online using SQL along with business intelligence software. Components of this type of system are storage platforms with specialized software and a specialized massive scale data repository developed for data retention online. This unique Big Data management system is scalable and designed to process machine-generated data at 40:11 compression ratios while maintaining its online availability.
Organizations that need to process Big Data may benefit by using databases specifically designed for this purpose. Such databases will prove cost-effective and are currently being used in numerous organizations internationally. Such databases work in parallel allowing tens of billions of records to be processed each day. At the same time, the retention capability is practically limitless. This database can fit content addressable storage (CAS), direct attach storage (DAS), and storage area network (SAN). Some of the benefits of this data storage and retrieval system are reduction in infrastructure through reduction in physical storage demand and effective, configurable record management.
One Big Data retention solution has three components. The first is paired server level service managers that share metadata and provide import and query capability. The second is a data archive residing on a cluster services node as well as storage nodes. It's designed with enough scalability to process billions of objects. The third component consists of shared storage that can be local direct access storage, a network file system or a comprehensive clustered file system.
This type of system was recently tested on 508 GB of artificially generated using stock trading test data, modeled after NASDAQ. Performance test results for data import showed a rate of close to 12 billion records imported within an hour. Data compression resulted in a data reduction of 476.1 GB. The archive data was only about 6.3% of the original size prior to compression. A SQL query was executed selecting the three largest volume stocks having trades of well over 4 million per day. This query against 11.6 billion records took approximately 5.5 seconds to execute.
Big Data is high-volume, high-velocity and perhaps highly variable as well. Big Data retention solutions can lead to better decision making, new discoveries and even process optimization. Science is a major area that can benefit from Big Data solutions. Meteorology is just one example that can reap rewards by using new technological advances in data retention on a massive scale. The ability to do research and analysis with extremely large sets of data gives greater understanding to those who are modeling weather, oceanographic conditions, the economy or social trends. With new cost-effective technology available many new organizations will consider the possibilities of Big Data retention in their enterprise.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

OH MY GOODNESS!! I was at the Kwik Trip gas station tonight while walking in to get bread, bananas and milk I crossed in front a truck that started honking n yelling at me to get out of the way. They speed off brushing my back with his side mirror. I got inside and store clerk came running are you ok etc. She said that was a drive off, the person was speeding out not to pay for his $52.00 in gas. I then went on to get my items and pay them. I walked out the store looking back and here came the clerk walking to me saying miss you had gas didn't you? I said oh lord yes. I just about did the same thing the other guy did and drove off not paying for my gas. The lady said Miss you are still shook up from about being run over. I just came straight home and did not go to my weight watchers meeting. I am so glad I was not injured and I did not drive off without paying for my gas and ended up in jail. Thank the Lord and my angels for watching over me.

BLOGGING 44. Dedicated to that stretch of highway, and the folks who drive it, between the city limits of Ripon, and the Kwik Trip by the outlet mall. Palm Sunday Score Card: Cars & Trucks parked at these places about 9:30 this morning: Lutheran Church in Pickett = 36. Jasper's Bar = 17. Church of the Nazarene (a good 25 minutes before church time) = 6. Community Church (the sort of new one between Pickett and Oshkosh) = 70. [I've noticed in the past, these numbers vary wildly if there is a noon Packer game.]

Things that make you wonder about the sound of your voice/dialect: Is it distinct, or just odd, or that's just life? Examples that come to mind: 1.) This past weekend I was in my hometown, (yay Chetek, Wisconsin), and I ran into Kwik Trip for a soda. A former co-worker was busy behind the counter unpacking a box. I had spotted her when I walked up, though she hadn't spotted me because her back was turned. As soon as she heard my voice she popped up and said, "Hey, hi Cheryl." I think the only words I had said to the lady at the register were, "Hi" and "Thank you" and probably, "No, thank you" when asked if I wanted to buy glazer donuts. (Tangent rant: If I wanted the *** "whatever it is you're pushing this week" item, it would be sitting with the rest of my items. I'm capable enough of finding plenty of calorie-ridden items on my own, thank you.) 2.) Years ago at the Minnesota State Fair again a former co-worker turned around in a busy, loud exhibition barn and said, "I'd know that voice anywhere! Hi, C . ...

Fergus Cullen: Make the state moratorium on school building aid permanent
New Hampshire's broken system of paying for building and renovating schools by redistributing wealth means we all pay for the bricks, mortar and athletic fields of each other's schools. Some towns, including many affluent ones, make out like bandits. Others get nothing. Most towns are in between. There's nothing equitable about it.
School building aid is about good intentions, a little politics and incentives gone awry. Because the state values having public schools, since the 1950s state government has subsidized school construction and renovation. In recent decades the state paid between 30 and 60 percent of construction costs.
If you subsidize something, you get more of it: more than the market would otherwise demand. The promise of "free" state money for more school capacity prompted a building boom as communities built more, bigger and fancier schools, and broke ground years sooner than they might have if the entire cost fell upon the neighbors. The subsidies weren't limited to classrooms. Elementary school playgrounds, football stadiums, auditoriums, superintendents' offices: it's been a trip to the buffet on an all-inclusive cruise. The carrots were in the wrong places and there were no sticks.
According to a 2011 report by the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies, annual state spending on school construction increased from $19 million to $46 million from 2000-2011 despite declining statewide student enrollment.
With rising school construction spending crowding out other priorities, the budget in deficit during the recession, and the state committed to more than a half a billion dollars of future payments, in 2008 Gov. John Lynch convinced the then-Democratic majority Legislature to move school building aid off budget by bonding payments instead. From 2009-11, the state bonded $131 million - that is, we bonded the payment of bond payments - adding $188 million in debt service to future budgets. This includes $27.6 million in the next biennium. Bet Gov. Maggie Hassan, who voted for the scheme as a state senator, wishes she had that money for her budget now.
In 2009 the Legislature called "time out" with a moratorium on funding new school projects. Three new $20 million schools in Concord were among the last to get funded. When Republicans retook the Legislature, existing commitments - $47 million this year - were moved back into the general fund. Future aid was capped and new projects would compete on need. Poorly ranked projects might get nothing if demand exceeded supply.
Without the subsidy, school construction has nearly stopped. Most districts can't float projects with so much uncertainty about future funding. Newmarket has given up trying to pass a bond while it contributes to neighboring Exeter's glistening $50 million high school, 55-percent funded by out-of-district taxpayers. Salem and Claremont - yes, that Claremont - voted to self-fund projects this year, which shows it can happen.
While we're taking this moratorium breather, four-years-old going on six, the Legislature should reconsider why the state is in the business of building local schools in the first place. Some believe that if the state is constitutionally required to fund schools, this includes capital costs, though a formula that gives some towns 30 percent and others twice as much seems ripe for a court challenge. Everyone wants to target state resources to poorer communities, but most of the money has gone to growing, affluent communities such as Bow, Windham and Bedford.
Many will say ending school building aid downshifts costs to local property taxpayers. Well, yes, but it also ends the practice of taxpayers footing the bill for school projects in other towns they didn't vote on. If we want to give poorer communities extra help with capital costs, not just operational ones, that can be accomplished through competitive adequacy grants.
The best public finance decisions are made when neighbors ask each other whether they are willing to tax themselves for something they will use. Let's restore this part of school funding to local decision-making.

IMAGE GALLERY: Marshall Women Fall to East Carolina in OT
Monday, February 27, 2012 - 00:59 by Chris Spencer, HNN Photographer
The East Carolina and Marshall game stayed close all afternoon with the score tied eight times and a lead change of eleven times. Marshall was leading 28-25 at the intermission.
Marshall could not put East Carolina away. East Carolina stayed within five points of the Herd most of the game and tied Marshall 54-54 with 1:05 left then took a 56-54 lead with 31 seconds left. Marshall's Lateidra Elliott tied the game 56-56 in the second intermission with a jumper to send the game into overtime.
Marshall had to fight back again being down 60-56 with 4:06 left in overtime to tie the game 60-60 with 43 seconds left . Marshall took a 62-60 lead from some free throw shooting with 14 seconds remaining.
East Carolina's Shala Hodges countered that with a three pointer that gave East Carolina the 63-62 overtime win. With 3.7 seconds left Marshall's Lateidra Elliott was rushed to try for a three point attempt that failed failed.
Marshall Coach Royce Chadwick remarked that if there was one more second on the clock that Elliott's shot would likely have gone in.
Marshall is 15-13 overall and 6-9 in Conference USA. East Carolina is 10-19 overall and 4-11 in Conference USA.
During the intermission children and young adults from the Challenger Program performed. The Challenger Program is for young adults and children with special needs to encourage healthy activity that will improve physical fitness and personal growth with fun and friendships.

Interesting comment,you need to do better than that, Charlie since this company has not bragged or release a press release about this supply contract, I seriously doubt it exists. This company always tries to pump the company with positive news.
So name the type part and who is the customer. As for automotive, please do push the corvette business here, that is very old news and very low volume. I doubt they make any money on that business anyway.
Name the interior parts for automotive
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Form 10-Q for ZOLTEK COMPANIES INC 2-Aug-2012 Quarterly Report
aerospace rhetoric = We also are seeking to qualify our products for use in aerospace secondary structures...blah blah blah.
automotive rhetoric = Zoltek Automotive supports the commercialization effort in the automotive applications...(Yes, so do I)
As a part of this effort, on March 27, 2012, Zoltek announced collaboration with Magna Exteriors and Interiors... .to develop carbon fiber sheet molding compounds for the automotive industry.
A bit light on commercialization/product launch schedule dates.
I dont think it would be unfair to characterize the aerospace/automitive busness as a baloney samwich without the bread..
nothing new to see here, move along...
"This company always tries to pump the company with positive news. "
If there is any pump at all ,it will come at the end of the Q
Zsolt likes to surprise the anylists and short term players.

NOISE project "Hum Of The Druid", the idea of Seattle's digital composer Eric Stonefelt, debuted with the mini-albums Amphibia (2004), Wall Of Arms (2004) and Frozen Tropics (2005), that were still relatively melodic dark ambient music. The fragmented Mountainous (2005) and the more refined Trials (2005) signaled a turn towards expressionist noise, that peaked with the obsessive reverb-drenched suites of Societal (2005). The multi-faceted abrasive drones of Raising The New Wing/Braided Industry (2008) climbed another plateau of violence, and sounded like the stream of consciousness of the industrial society.
