NOS4A2 is a horror novel by Joe Hill.Charlie Manx has built a wonderful place just for children, where it's Christmas every day. Kids get to have the greatest fun in Christmasland, riding the Sleighcoaster, feasting from La Chocolatier, or playing scissors-for-the-drifter. And the fun never ends in Christmasland, where these wonderful children get to stay children . . . forever.At 116 years old, Charlie Manx has been kidnapping children to Christmasland, a place built by his imagination in a world that exists somewhere alongside ours. By the time they arrive, they've been . . . changed. Victoria McQueen also knows how to travel to places that aren't quite there, using her Raleigh Tuff Burner bicycle to travel and find things that have been lost. At seventeen, she had a close encounter with Manx and was the first person to escape his grasp. Manx was sent to prison, and Vic was left to cope with a psyche deeply scarred by her encounter. Thirteen years later, Manx escapes and takes his revenge on Vic by "rescuing" her son and bringing him to Christmasland. With her unusual ability to find things, Vic may be the only one who has a chance at saving him.

Connecticut Historical Society in Hartford Holding a Community Cook-Off
Hartford chef types will embrace the Connecticut Historical Society's Community Cook-Off, judged by local foodies MaryEllen Fillo (Hartford Courant), Kara Sundlun (WFSB), Chion Wolf (WNPR's Colin McEnroe Show), Krystian von Speidel (Hartford Magazine) and Caitlin Croswell (CaitPlusAte.com). Contestants compete in four categories: the Not-So-Secret Ingredient Challenge (the ingredients are bacon, chocolate and poblano peppers, which clearly need to happen in the same dish), From Grandma's Kitchen (yellowed page, family tree-style recipes), What's in that casserole, anyway?! and the always popular "I didn't know you could do that with Jell-O." Pros like the Pond House, Thomas Hooker Brewing Company and Diageo wines provide alternate grub (in case that bacon Jell-O chocolate casserole is a miserable flop).
Community Cook-Off
April 5, 5:30-7:30 p.m., Connecticut Historical Society, 1 Elizabeth St., Hartford, (860) 236-5621, chs.org.

Local band Chicano Batman, yes that's their real name, formed just a couple years ago but have a sound that spans decades and continents: Brazilian tropicalia, Mexican cumbia, Chilean funk, even American psychedelia.
They take to the stage wearing crushed velvet blue shirts that look ripped right from their fathers' closets and play an organ that sits on top of an ironing board. They just got back from a tour of Colombia and sat down with Chris Ziegler from LA Record. Click here for info on this Sunday's Chicano Batman show!

Take your holiday in England, cruising the Leeds Liverpool canal, enjoying all the amazing countryside and drifting peacefully across the water – what better way to spend your family holiday than on a canal boat with Silsden Boats?
July 5th and 6th 2014 – The Grand Depart
is in Yorkshire.
Sunday 6th sees the cyclists travel straight past our door. Why not combine a canal Boat Holiday with a chance to see one of the world most famous cycle races
Original commissioned by Bradford merchants wanted to increase the supply of limestone to make lime for mortar and agriculture using coal from Bradford's collieries and to transport textiles to the Port of Liverpool; The Leeds Liverpool canal is recognised as one of the most beautiful in all of England. It is the longest and amazingly the least congested of all the UKs waterways and consists of a distance of 127 miles (204 km), it crosses the Pennines, and includes 91 locks on the main line.
UK Holidays remove the worries of international airport travel, currency and language, leaving you time and space to relax and enjoy your UK holidays.
There are many beautiful historical sites along the route, such as:
* Sir Titus Salt's Mills at Saltaire and the David Hockney exhibition.
* The Bingley '5-rise' locks.
* The East Marton Double Bridge.
* Skipton – Historic market town and 'Gateway to the Dales'.
* Gargrave village.
* Foulridge Tunnel (a mile long!).
The Haworth Parsonage (The museum of the Brontë sisters, owned and maintained by the Brontë Society) and East Riddlesden Hall (A stunning 17th century hall set in award winning gardens) are all within easy reach of the canal as are many other amazing sites.
Canal boat, or 'narrowboat', boating holidays will showcase Yorkshire holidays at their best, peaceful, relaxing and above all beautiful.
All our boats are fully centrally heated and the wide Beam boat has the additional benefit of a solid fuel stove.
If you would like to use the book online facility to book a winter boating holiday, please pick the size boat required rather than a named boat. ie 2-5 berth not Jenny's Drum

FRIDAY, June 21 (HealthDay News) -- The Plan B "emergency" contraceptive (levonorgestrel) has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for any female of child-bearing potential.
Thursday's agency announcement followed an April ruling by the U.S. District Court in New York that the product had to be made available without restriction, including age.
Plan B is meant to reduce the chances of pregnancy if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex or suspected contraceptive failure. The product was first approved in 2009 as an over-the-counter option for women 17 and older, and as a prescription option for younger females.
The product will not end the pregnancy of a female who is already pregnant, and there is no evidence that it will harm a developing fetus, the FDA said in a news release. It will not prevent any sexually transmitted disease, including HIV/AIDS, the agency added.
Some females who have taken Plan B have reported these side effects: nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, headache, dizziness and breast tenderness. These adverse reactions are similar to those reported after use of other birth control products, the FDA said.
Plan B is produced by Teva Women's Health, a unit of the Israeli drug maker Teva Pharmaceutical Industries.
More information
The FDA has more about this approval.

Thoughts on a riot
June 23rd, 2011 by p1, Filed under: Commentary, Culture, OT
I'm from Vancouver. So, even though I'm not a hockey fan, after the Canucks were the best in the league in the regular season (and by a record-breaking margin), it was disappointing that they didn't win the Stanley Cup.
It was much, much more disappointing to wake up the next morning, and find that there had been a riot. Particularly when, after the 1994 riot, the city had planned well (well, maybe), and had had such a great time with the Olympics and the six previous games.
The disaster was somewhat mitigated by the spontaneous cleanup crews the next morning, and the "Love Wall." (And, you've undoubtedly seen "The Kiss.")
The riot was rendered more disastrous by the subsequent social media vigilanteism.
Actually, riots and social media have a lot in common. In both cases, they seem to be driven by people wanting to get "in on the action." What actually creates a riot in a city, or "viral" in social media, doesn't seem to be predictable, although, in both cases, lots of people are willing to explain, after the fact, why they should have been foreseen. (Stereotypical black swans, in both cases.) A wonderful piece in the Vancouver Sun notes that the same blame placement; on hooligans, outsiders, and a new technology; was used to explain the Paris riot of 1789.
In fact, that idea of "outsiders" seems to run through almost all of the articles and opinion pieces spawned by the riot. Canucks fans say "it wasn't us," residents of Vancouver say "it wasn't us," and people who don't live in Vancouver say "we didn't have a riot: it wasn't us." (I remember flying into Chicago and landing in the midst of a riot. They burned quite a few cars, trucks, and buses, and had quite widespread looting. In that case it was because the Bulls had won.)
Every time I read that kind of thing, I am reminder of what Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote, quite some time ago, in "The Gulag Archipelago": "If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?"

UAB of Jazz Summit Highlighted with Concert by Chick Corea, Gary Burton, and the Harlem String Quartet
UAB's Alys Stephens Performing Arts Center (ASC) will present an unparalleled evening of jazz and classical music when Chick Corea, Gary Burton and Harlem String Quartet perform together live on Friday, Jan. 25, 2013, a highlight to the UAB Department of Music Annual Jazz Summit for middle and high school musicians.
Corea and Burton first paired on the landmark album "Crystal Silence" in 1972. Their partnership has flourished and grown over the years with three Grammy Award-winning albums. TheLos Angeles Times calls the duo "one of jazz's most celebrated collaborations."Corea, an NEA Jazz Master, 18-time Grammy winner, brilliant American composer and keyboard virtuoso, and ASC favorite, has attained living-legend status after five decades of creativity and staggering artistic output. Burton is a 12-time Grammy nominee and six-time winner, earning his first Grammy in 1971 and his most recent in 2009 for Best Jazz Instrumental Album.
Their latest recording, "Hot House," explores standards by such composers as Kurt Weill, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Thelonius Monk, John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The classical ensemble Harlem String Quartet (HSQ) joined the duo on the tune "Mozart Goes Dancing," which has been nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition.
Corea earned a total of five Grammy nominations: Both "Hot House" and his 2011 album "Further Explorations" with Eddie Gomez and Paul Motian were nominated for Best Jazz Instrumental Album; Corea and Burton were nominated for Best Improvised Jazz Solo on the single "Hot House"; and Corea also was nominated as a soloist for "Alice in Wonderland" from "Further Explorations."
The Jan. 25 show will begin at 8 p.m. in the ASC Jemison Concert Hall, 1200 10th Ave. South. Tickets are $68.50, $59.50 and $49.50. Call 205-975-2787 or visit www.AlysStephens.org.For this tour, Corea and Burton will perform selections from "Hot House" with HSQ, which will expand its legendary classical repertoire on new and classic Corea-Burton jazz tunes. Praised for its panache, fresh attitude and cultural diversity, HSQ has set the classical music world abuzz since its public debut in 2006 at Carnegie Hall. The New York-based ensemble has performed throughout the U.S. and in Canada, Panama, South Africa and Europe, and returns to the ASC after a dazzling 2009 performance.
ArtPlay, the ASC's home for arts education and outreach, will present two events at the ASC in conjunction with this show: Hundreds of area schoolchildren will see HSQ perform in a Meet the Artist School Show at 10 a.m. on Jan. 25; and ArtPlay also will present a jazz improvisation master class with Burton at 4 p.m. that day. Call 205-975-4769 for details.

INDIANA -- Snow lightly circles through the air on a chilly morning in mid-November. As a harsh wind picks up, Isaac J. Samay pulls his knit cap lower on his forehead. He steps his beat-up sneakers into the straps on his bicycle pedals and takes a deep breath.
His daily commute to campus begins.
Samay, 23, of Johnstown, is a political science major at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. The senior has been biking as his sole means of transportation since enrolling at IUP in 2009.
For Samay, the snow is not a deterrent to his commuting. The campus, on the other hand, is.

Sources of Supply
The City of Santa Maria has two sources of supply; local groundwater and imported State Water. The local groundwater is plentiful, but has a high hardness and mineral content. The City blends the local supply with the imported supply to provide water with a lower hardness and mineral content than that available from the local supply alone.
State Water supply is variable, depending on precipitation, State Water reservoir storage, snowpack, and Delta conditions. The City maximizes the use of its available State Water supply each year in order to provide the highest water quality to City residents and businesses.
2012 Annual Update - Use of State Water to Improve Municipal Water Supply
Water agencies that have more than 3,000 service connections are required to update an Urban Water Management Plan every five years. The Urban Water Management Plan contains information on how the City plans to provide and maintain a reliable supply of high quality water through efficient use of its existing resources for the anticipated needs of the City.
Urban Water Management Plan (441 pages, 24.6 MB)
Click here for contact information for other local water purveyors.
How Does Our System Work?
State Water and groundwater are blended at the City's Blending and Disinfection facility, where the disinfectant residual is balanced and fluoride is added. Then the water travels into the distribution system and to your home or office. When water demand exceeds production, water also flows from the storage reservoirs into the distribution system. When production exceeds demand, the excess water travels to the storage reservoirs to be used for high demand times. The reservoirs also serve as a source of water to fight fires that occur within the City.

Material: DANIO
Product Code: 15292601
Part of the CORE Collection
- Quilted 8-Eyelet boot
- Danio leather; super soft and fine textured
- Made with Goodyear welt, the upper and sole are heat-sealed and sewn together
Care Instruction: Clean away any dirt using a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a correctly coloured wax-based shoe polish to restore shine
Made In: Thailand
This is a Goodyear-welted product using PVC for the welt. The upper and sole are sewn together, not merely glued, like many footwear constructions. This, together with our Z welt-stitch and heat-sealing process, makes it unique to Dr. Martens. This is the only construction that is stitched on the outside and helps footwear take the shape to the foot. The welt is chain stitched to the upper and insole. The outsole is then sewn to the welt around the edge and then heat sealed. This is the sturdiest and most complex of all constructions.
SoleThis sole is hard-wearing, with good abrasion and slip resistance.

Google Analytics using #Rstats – Updated
Due to changes in Google APIs my earlier post on using Google Analytics in R is deprecated. Unfortunately it is still on top 10 results for Google results for Using Google Analytics with R.
That post is here http://decisionstats.com/2012/03/20/using-google-analytics-with-r/
A more updated R package on Google Analytics and R is here . https://github.com/skardhamar/rga
A better updated post on an easy to use tutorial on using Google Analytics with R using OAuth 2 playground is here.
- Set the Google analytics query parameters for preparing the request URI
- Get the access token from Oauth 2.0 Playground
- Retrieve and select the Profile
- Retrieving GA data
Note it is excellent for learning to use RJSON method as well. You can see the details on the Tatvic blog above.

Data Visualization for R packages at Github #rstats
I noticed this article sometime back by the most excellent hacker, John Myles White ( author Machine learning for Hackers)
Professor John Fox, whom we have interviewed here as the creator of R Commander, talked on this at User 2008 http://www.statistik.uni-dortmund.de/useR-2008/slides/Fox.pdf
I also noticed that R Project is stuck on SVN ( yes or no??, comment please) while some part of the rest of the World has moved on to Git. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28software%29
Is Git really that good compared to SVN http://stackoverflow.com/questions/871/why-is-git-better-than-subversion
Maybe, I think with 5000 packages and more , R -project needs to have more presence on Github and atleast consider Git for the distributed and international project R is becoming.
WordPress.com changes Analytics
WP.com made a cool change to WP- Stats , its default analytics program, It now counts visitors as well as visits. This is especially useful to writers like me who like to customize content based on analytics ( GA Analytics does not work on WordPress.com hosted sites) and who dont want to bother with hosting /hacking (WP.com is much more hassle free than self-hosted , or even Rackspace hosted in my experience).
Of course the guy DOS-ing my poetry blog (via Yahoo Image Service) needs to use Tor to hide. Unless they dont want to hide and just want to click on my Roses poem 200 times (passing a subliminal message?) . Of course GA Analytics loves line charts and WP Stats loves Bar Charts, but we wont get into that.
Data Frame in Python
Exploring some Python Packages and R packages to move /work with both Python and R without melting your brain or exceeding your project deadline
If you liked the data.frame structure in R, you have some way to work with them at a faster processing speed in Python.
Here are three packages that enable you to do so-
(1) pydataframe http://code.google.com/p/pydataframe/
An implemention of an almost R like DataFrame object. (install via Pypi/Pip: "pip install pydataframe")
Usage:u = DataFrame( { "Field1": [1, 2, 3], "Field2": ['abc', 'def', 'hgi']}, optional: ['Field1', 'Field2'] ["rowOne", "rowTwo", "thirdRow"])
A DataFrame is basically a table with rows and columns.
Columns are named, rows are numbered (but can be named) and can be easily selected and calculated upon. Internally, columns are stored as 1d numpy arrays. If you set row names, they're converted into a dictionary for fast access. There is a rich subselection/slicing API, see help(DataFrame.get_item) (it also works for setting values). Please note that any slice get's you another DataFrame, to access individual entries use get_row(), get_column(), get_value().
DataFrames also understand basic arithmetic and you can either add (multiply,…) a constant value, or another DataFrame of the same size / with the same column names, like this:
#multiply every value in ColumnA that is smaller than 5 by 6. my_df[my_df[:,'ColumnA'] < 5, 'ColumnA'] *= 6 #you always need to specify both row and column selectors, use : to mean everything my_df[:, 'ColumnB'] = my_df[:,'ColumnA'] + my_df[:, 'ColumnC'] #let's take every row that starts with Shu in ColumnA and replace it with a new list (comprehension) select = my_df.where(lambda row: row['ColumnA'].startswith('Shu')) my_df[select, 'ColumnA'] = [row['ColumnA'].replace('Shu', 'Sha') for row in my_df[select,:].iter_rows()]
Dataframes talk directly to R via rpy2 (rpy2 is not a prerequiste for the library!)
(2) pandas http://pandas.pydata.org/
Library Highlights
- A fast and efficient DataFrame object for data manipulation with integrated indexing;
- Tools for reading and writing data between in-memory data structures and different formats: CSV and text files, Microsoft Excel, SQL databases, and the fast HDF5 format;
- Intelligent data alignment and integrated handling of missing data: gain automatic label-based alignment in computations and easily manipulate messy data into an orderly form;
- Flexible reshaping and pivoting of data sets;
- Intelligent label-based slicing, fancy indexing, and subsetting of large data sets;
- Columns can be inserted and deleted from data structures for size mutability;
- Aggregating or transforming data with a powerful group by engine allowing split-apply-combine operations on data sets;
- High performance merging and joining of data sets;
- Hierarchical axis indexing provides an intuitive way of working with high-dimensional data in a lower-dimensional data structure;
- Time series-functionality: date range generation and frequency conversion, moving window statistics, moving window linear regressions, date shifting and lagging. Even create domain-specific time offsets and join time series without losing data;
- The library has been ruthlessly optimized for performance, with critical code paths compiled to C;
- Python with pandas is in use in a wide variety of academic and commercial domains, including Finance, Neuroscience, Economics, Statistics, Advertising, Web Analytics, and more.
Why not R?
First of all, we love open source R! It is the most widely-used open source environment for statistical modeling and graphics, and it provided some early inspiration for pandas features. R users will be pleased to find this library adopts some of the best concepts of R, like the foundational DataFrame (one user familiar with R has described pandas as "R data.frame on steroids"). But pandas also seeks to solve some frustrations common to R users:
- R has barebones data alignment and indexing functionality, leaving much work to the user. pandas makes it easy and intuitive to work with messy, irregularly indexed data, like time series data. pandas also provides rich tools, like hierarchical indexing, not found in R;
- R is not well-suited to general purpose programming and system development. pandas enables you to do large-scale data processing seamlessly when developing your production applications;
- Hybrid systems connecting R to a low-productivity systems language like Java, C++, or C# suffer from significantly reduced agility and maintainability, and you're still stuck developing the system components in a low-productivity language;
- The "copyleft" GPL license of R can create concerns for commercial software vendors who want to distribute R with their software under another license. Python and pandas use more permissive licenses.

Using Rapid Miner and R for Sports Analytics #rstats
Ajay- Why did you choose Rapid Miner and R? What were the other software alternatives you considered and discarded?
Analyst- We considered most of the other major players in statistics/data mining or enterprise BI. However, we found that the value proposition for an open source solution was too compelling to justify the premium pricing that the commercial solutions would have required. The widespread adoption of R and the variety of packages and algorithms available for it, made it an easy choice. We liked RapidMiner as a way to design structured, repeatable processes, and the ability to optimize learner parameters in a systematic way. It also handled large data sets better than R on 32-bit Windows did. The GUI, particularly when 5.0 was released, made it more usable than R for analysts who weren't experienced programmers.
Ajay- What analytics do you do think Rapid Miner and R are best suited for?
Analyst- We use RM+R mainly for sports analysis so far, rather than for more traditional business applications. It has been quite suitable for that, and I can easily see how it would be used for other types of applications.
Ajay- Any experiences as an enterprise customer? How was the installation process? How good is the enterprise level support?
Analyst- Rapid-I has been one of the most responsive tech companies I've dealt with, either in my current role or with previous employers. They are small enough to be able to respond quickly to requests, and in more than one case, have fixed a problem, or added a small feature we needed within a matter of days. In other cases, we have contracted with them to add larger pieces of specific functionality we needed at reasonable consulting rates. Those features are added to the mainline product, and become fully supported through regular channels. The longer consulting projects have typically had a turnaround of just a few weeks.
Ajay- What challenges if any did you face in executing a pure open source analytics bundle ?
Analyst- As Rapid-I is a smaller company based in Europe, the availability of training and consulting in the USA isn't as extensive as for the major enterprise software players, and the time zone differences sometimes slow down the communications cycle. There were times where we were the first customer to attempt a specific integration point in our technical environment, and with no prior experiences to fall back on, we had to work with Rapid-I to figure out how to do it. Compared to the what traditional software vendors provide, both R and RM tend to have sparse, terse, occasionally incomplete documentation. The situation is getting better, but still lags behind what the traditional enterprise software vendors provide.
Ajay- What are the things you can do in R ,and what are the things you prefer to do in Rapid Miner (comparison for technical synergies)
Analyst- Our experience has been that RM is superior to R at writing and maintaining structured processes, better at handling larger amounts of data, and more flexible at fine-tuning model parameters automatically. The biggest limitation we've had with RM compared to R is that R has a larger library of user-contributed packages for additional data mining algorithms. Sometimes we opted to use R because RM hadn't yet implemented a specific algorithm. The introduction the R extension has allowed us to combine the strengths of both tools in a very logical and productive way.
In particular, extending RapidMiner with R helped address RM's weakness in the breadth of algorithms, because it brings the entire R ecosystem into RM (similar to how Rapid-I implemented much of the Weka library early on in RM's development). Further, because the R user community releases packages that implement new techniques faster than the enterprise vendors can, this helps turn a potential weakness into a potential strength. However, R packages tend to be of varying quality, and are more prone to go stale due to lack of support/bug fixes. This depends heavily on the package's maintainer and its prevalence of use in the R community. So when RapidMiner has a learner with a native implementation, it's usually better to use it than the R equivalent.
Interview James G Kobielus IBM Big Data
Here is an interview with James G Kobielus, who is the Senior Program Director, Product Marketing, Big Data Analytics Solutions at IBM. Special thanks to Payal Patel Cudia of IBM's communication team,for helping with the logistics for this.
Ajay -What are the specific parts of the IBM Platform that deal with the three layers of Big Data -variety, velocity and volume
James-Well first of all, let's talk about the IBM Information Management portfolio. Our big data platform addresses the three layers of big data to varying degrees either together in a product , or two out of the three or even one of the three aspects. We don't have separate products for the variety, velocity and volume separately.
Let us define these three layers-Volume refers to the hundreds of terabytes and petabytes of stored data inside organizations today. Velocity refers to the whole continuum from batch to real time continuous and streaming data.
Variety refers to multi-structure data from structured to unstructured files, managed and stored in a common platform analyzed through common tooling.
For Volume-IBM has a highly scalable Big Data platform. This includes Netezza and Infosphere groups of products, and Watson-like technologies that can support petabytes volume of data for analytics. But really the support of volume ranges across IBM's Information Management portfolio both on the database side and the advanced analytics side.
For real time Velocity, we have real time data acquisition. We have a product called IBM Infosphere, part of our Big Data platform, that is specifically built for streaming real time data acquisition and delivery through complex event processing. We have a very rich range of offerings that help clients build a Hadoop environment that can scale.
Our Hadoop platform is the most real time capable of all in the industry. We are differentiated by our sheer breadth, sophistication and functional depth and tooling integrated in our Hadoop platform. We are differentiated by our streaming offering integrated into the Hadoop platform. We also offer a great range of modeling and analysis tools, pretty much more than any other offering in the Big Data space.
Attached- Jim's slides from Hadoop World
Ajay- Any plans for Mahout for Hadoop
Jim- I cant speak about product plans. We have plans but I cant tell you anything more. We do have a feature in Big Insights called System ML, a library for machine learning.
Ajay- How integral are acquisitions for IBM in the Big Data space (Netezza,Cognos,SPSS etc). Is it true that everything that you have in Big Data is acquired or is the famous IBM R and D contributing here . (see a partial list of IBM acquisitions at at http://www.ibm.com/investor/strategy/acquisitions.wss )
Jim- We have developed a lot on our own. We have the deepest R and D of anybody in the industry in all things Big Data.
For example – Watson has Big Insights Hadoop at its core. Apache Hadoop is the heart and soul of Big Data (see http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/infosphere/hadoop/ ). A great deal that makes Big Insights so differentiated is that not everything that has been built has been built by the Hadoop community.
We have built additions out of the necessity for security, modeling, monitoring, and governance capabilities into BigInsights to make it truly enterprise ready. That is one example of where we have leveraged open source and we have built our own tools and technologies and layered them on top of the open source code.
Yes of course we have done many strategic acquisitions over the last several years related to Big Data Management and we continue to do so. This quarter we have done 3 acquisitions with strong relevance to Big Data. One of them is Vivisimo (http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/37491.wss ).
Vivisimo provides federated Big Data discovery, search and profiling capabilities to help you figure out what data is out there,what is relevance of that data to your data science project- to help you answer the question which data should you bring in your Hadoop Cluster.
We also did Varicent , which is more performance management and we did TeaLeaf , which is a customer experience solution provider where customer experience management and optimization is one of the hot killer apps for Hadoop in the cloud. We have done great many acquisitions that have a clear relevance to Big Data.
Netezza already had a massively parallel analytics database product with an embedded library of models called Netezza Analytics, and in-database capabilties to massively parallelize Map Reduce and other analytics management functions inside the database. In many ways, Netezza provided capabilities similar to that IBM had provided for many years under the Smart Analytics Platform (http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/infosphere/what-is-advanced-analytics/ ) .
There is a differential between Netezza and ISAS.
ISAS was built predominantly in-house over several years . If you go back a decade ago IBM acquired Ascential Software , a product portfolio that was the heart and soul of IBM InfoSphere Information Manager that is core to our big Data platform. In addition to Netezza, IBM bought SPSS two years back. We already had data mining tools and predictive modeling in the InfoSphere portfolio, but we realized we needed to have the best of breed, SPSS provided that and so IBM acquired them.
Cognos- We had some BI reporting capabilities in the InfoSphere portfolio that we had built ourselves and also acquired for various degrees from prior acquisitions. But clearly Cognos was one of the best BI vendors , and we were lacking such a rich tool set in our product in visualization and cubing and so for that reason we acquired Cognos.
There is also Unica – which is a marketing campaign optimization which in many ways is a killer app for Hadoop. Projects like that are driving many enterprises.
Ajay- How would you rank order these acquisitions in terms of strategic importance rather than data of acquisition or price paid.
Jim-Think of Big Data as an ecosystem that has components that are fitted to particular functions for data analytics and data management. Is the database the core, or the modeling tool the core, or the governance tools the core, or is the hardware platform the core. Everything is critically important. We would love to hear from you what you think have been most important. Each acquisition has helped play a critical role to build the deepest and broadest solution offering in Big Data. We offer the hardware, software, professional services, the hosting service. I don't think there is any validity to a rank order system.
Ajay-What are the initiatives regarding open source that Big Data group have done or are planning?
Jim- What we are doing now- We are very much involved with the Apache Hadoop community. We continue to evolve the open source code that everyone leverages.. We have built BigInsights on Apache Hadoop. We have the closest, most up to date in terms of version number to Apache Hadoop ( Hbase,HDFS, Pig etc) of all commercial distributions with our BigInsights 1.4 .
We have an R library integrated with BigInsights . We have a R library integrated with Netezza Analytics. There is support for R Models within the SPSS portfolio. We already have a fair amount of support for R across the portfolio.
Ajay- What are some of the concerns (privacy,security,regulation) that you think can dampen the promise of Big Data.
Jim- There are no showstoppers, there is really a strong momentum. Some of the concerns within the Hadoop space are immaturity of the technology, the immaturity of some of the commercial offerings out there that implement Hadoop, the lack of standardization for formal sense for Hadoop.
There is no Open Standards Body that declares, ratifies the latest version of Mahout, Map Reduce, HDFS etc. There is no industry consensus reference framework for layering these different sub projects. There are no open APIs. There are no certifications or interoperability standards or organizations to certify different vendors interoperability around a common API or framework.
The lack of standardization is troubling in this whole market. That creates risks for users because users are adopting multiple Hadoop products. There are lots of Hadoop deployments in the corporate world built around Apache Hadoop (purely open source). There may be no assurance that these multiple platforms will interoperate seamlessly. That's a huge issue in terms of just magnifying the risk. And it increases the need for the end user to develop their own custom integrated code if they want to move data between platforms, or move map-reduce jobs between multiple distributions.
Also governance is a consideration. Right now Hadoop is used for high volume ETL on multi structured and unstructured data sources, or Hadoop is used for exploratory sand boxes for data scientists. These are important applications that are a majority of the Hadoop deployments . Some Hadoop deployments are stand alone unstructured data marts for specific applications like sentiment analysis like.
Hadoop is not yet ready for data warehousing. We don't see a lot of Hadoop being used as an alternative to data warehouses for managing the single version of truth of system or record data. That day will come but there needs to be out there in the marketplace a broader range of data governance mechanisms , master data management, data profiling products that are mature that enterprises can use to make sure their data inside their Hadoop clusters is clean and is the single version of truth. That day has not arrived yet.
One of the great things about IBM's acquisition of Vivisimo is that a piece of that overall governance picture is discovery and profiling for unstructured data , and that is done very well by Vivisimo for several years.
What we will see is vendors such as IBM will continue to evolve security features inside of our Hadoop platform. We will beef up our data governance capabilities for this new world of Hadoop as the core of Big Data, and we will continue to build up our ability to integrate multiple databases in our Hadoop platform so that customers can use data from a bit of Hadoop,some data from a bit of traditional relational data warehouse, maybe some noSQL technology for different roles within a very complex Big Data environment.
That latter hybrid deployment model is becoming standard across many enterprises for Big Data. A cause for concern is when your Big Data deployment has a bit of Hadoop, bit of noSQL, bit of EDW, bit of in-memory , there are no open standards or frameworks for putting it all together for a unified framework not just for interoperability but also for deployment.
There needs to be a virtualization or abstraction layer for unified access to all these different Big Data platforms by the users/developers writing the queries, by administrators so they can manage data and resources and jobs across all these disparate platforms in a seamless unified way with visual tooling. That grand scenario, the virtualization layer is not there yet in any standard way across the big data market. It will evolve, it may take 5-10 years to evolve but it will evolve.
So, that's the concern that can dampen some of the enthusiasm for Big Data Analytics.

However, distributing functionality adds high signalling overhead and delays. Forming resource clusters in wireless mesh networks is a wellknown concept to alleviate these issues. This article describes a link group system for carrier-grade wireless mesh networks that provides absolute QoS guarantees. In order to support heterogeneous wireless mesh networks, the system interface of this link group system is implemented as a technology independent interface. Performance evaluations show a good fairness without requiring per-flow queuing, a good overall system performance, and small packet delays in multi-hop setups, which makes these link groups an important component of carrier-grade wireless mesh networks Proceedings of: 2010 Future Network & Mobile Summit, 16-18 June 2010, Florence, Italy 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z Impact of misbehaviour on QoS in wireless mesh networks Szott, Szymon Natkaniec, Marek Banchs, Albert http://hdl.handle.net/10016/13895 2014-04-08T10:31:40Z 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Impact of misbehaviour on QoS in wireless mesh networks Szott, Szymon; Natkaniec, Marek; Banchs, Albert This paper analyzes the impact of misbehaviour on QoS provisioning in wireless mesh networks. Misbehaviour occurs when a network participant decides not to cooperate. Since cooperation is fundamental for distributed environments such as mesh networks, misbehaviour can be a serious threat to them. In this work, the authors focus on the IEEE 802.11 EDCA medium access function which provides QoS in mesh networks. Simulation studies have been performed to determine what realistic forms of misbehaviour can occur and what their impact is. From these results the most beneficial forms of MAC layer misbehaviour in multihop mesh networks are derived.

The emerging wireless mesh network (WMN) technology is seen as one of the potential solutions which may reduce wired backhaul dependency through multihop transmission. Despite the advantages, many remain sceptical on WMN's network capacity and scalability performances particularly when the user density is high. This paper provides an insight on the best possible upper-bound capacity performance of WMN, taking into consideration three key design parameters namely 1) Percentage of wired backhaul points per network, 2) Mesh-to-Access Link-Rate Ratio (R) and 3) Number of radio interfaces per mesh node including hybrid radio options. These design options are compared and contrasted with different deployment densities. The results generally show that the higher the number of backhaul points, the higher the effective access capacity available to mesh node and hence user domain. Increasing the R and the number of radio per mesh node are two alternative means to push up the effective access capacity per mesh node without increasing the number of wired backhaul points. This is most significant in multi radio system where about 80% of the backhaul points can be eliminated with R= 3 in order to maintain effective access capacity close to full rate (Capacity, C=1) per mesh node. It is also found that 50% of the backhaul points can be eliminated with R=2 for all radio options (except for the pure single radio case).

Compared to traditional operator access networks WMNs have the potential to offer easier deployment and flexible self-reconfiguration at lower costs. A WMN-type architecture considered as an alternative for an operator access network must meet similar requirements such as high availability and guaranteed QoS in order to support triple-play content provisioning. In this paper we introduce an architecture of such a Carrier-grade Wireless Mesh Access Network (CG-WMAN). We then present our contribution, an approach to seamlessly integrate unidirectional broadcast cells (i.e. DVB-T) into such a CG-WMAN. This allows higher layer protocols to utilize broadcast cells like regular mesh links, where beneficial for a given payload and receiver distribution. We then present a typical use case and discuss for which combinations of traffic type, user distribution and QoS requirements the use of longer range broadcast technologies can help to improve the overall CG-WMAN performance in terms of throughput and reliability.

Great Product!
By DennisM
from Fairborn, OH
Comments about 16" x 16" Universal Access Door:
I have no complaints about this door. It is well made, dimensionally accurate, and latches securely and flat to the frame with no warp. It looks very good after installation and presents well to the customer.
Good but not perfect
By Prem
from Des Moines, IA
Comments about 12" x 16" Universal Access Door:
Bought this access panel for my basement project. Arrived on time. It was good but not perfect. Door was not in level with the panel, it was projected out little (may be a millimeter or so). I have painted over to match wall paint and it is looks good.
Good Product
By Dan
from Raleigh, NC
I probably didn't read enough about the product, it works good for my application, but mine was an outdoor applicationa and the door is not water proof. Other than that, it's a great prodcut.
Overall Good
from Raleigh NC
Not sure I read what I ordered, but this door doesn't have any kind of weather seal, so it's not weather tight, I took care of that myself. I used it for an access door in the side of my cargo trailer for running air hoses, electric lines etc through.
Well made solid steel access door
By Pex Slinger
from Kirkland, WA
Comments about 18" x 18" Universal Access Door:
Bought this access door as a cover for a homerun pex manifold system. Works great and well made. Rough in dims are exactly what was specified on the website. Only small drawback is the latch is made to operate with a flathead screwdriver rather than a finger. Great if you're not getting in there often or just want to keep most people out. Overall, a great door for the money.
Solid and just what I needed
By Paul
from Albuquerque, NM
Solidly built and went in easily and cleanly. It gave my job a professional finish.
No problems
By Chas
from Norfolk VA
As shown. Works completely fine. Though I don't understand why Acudor has the screw turn clockwise to open and counterclockwise to close. That seems like an invitation to strip the screws.
Does the job
By toph
from westchester, NY
Comments about 14" x 14" Universal Access Door:
Used this in my closet to access shut off valves I installed in a master bath renovation. Item is well built and sturdy. However I noticed some minor imperfections in the final paint job (globs on the perimeter)that would require some sanding and of course repainting if you intended to have this door in a highly visible location. For me it is not a concern since it will be behind hanging clothes.

Good quality
By Gronk
from Falls Church, VA
Good quality, white powdercoat finish.Fit of the door and the locking mechanism is a bit tight, but I didn't expect a well-oiled mechanism for the price.Note that it really requires studs to exist either on the left and right border, or the top/bottom - since otherwise there's no way to anchor the door in place.

Diaper rash: Causes and treatments
My son has a bad case of diaper rash and cries when we change him. Do you have any advice on how we should get rid of this persistent rash?Question:
Robert Steele
Robert W. Steele, MD, is a board certified pediatrician at St. John's Regional Health Center in Springfield, MO. He graduated from medical... Read more
Diaper rash is very common in babies. Even the most diligent of parents will not be able to keep irritation of the diaper area at bay 100 percent of the time.
Diaper rash usually occurs in two stages:
- Irritation: This is usually caused from a combination of the moisture from the skin, urine and stool.
- Yeast: If the irritation gets bad enough (and any parent will tell you that it doesn't take much), the skin will become contaminated, usually with a yeast called candida. This is the same yeast that causes thrush.
To help control and treat diaper rash:
Reduce skin's exposure to irritants.
This is hard to do, especially in infants. Try changing the diaper more often than you are used to. Cloth diaper users tend not to have as many problems with diaper rash mainly because the cloth diapers are not as absorbant as disposables, which in turn results in more diaper changes.
Apply a liberal amount of a barrier ointment.
This will protect the skin from urine and stool, which is very helpful. I suggest using a thick zinc oxide ointment. Apply this with every diaper change when the skin appears irritated.
Watch for tell-tale signs of yeast infection.
This type of infection usually looks like a large reddened patch with much smaller "satellite" areas around it. When an infection with yeast occurs, no amount of over-the-counter diaper rash ointment will make it go away. An antifungal medication must be used to kill the yeast. In addition, a steroid cream may occasionally be prescribed. This decreases the irritation of the skin and helps with the healing of the skin. Generally, a yeast diaper rash goes away after about seven days of antifungal medication.
It is difficult for me to tell you why your son continues to have the rash. It is difficult to diagnose a rash without actually seeing it. I suggest you have your physician review the rash again.

Routine … a blessing and a curse
by Sheryl Hess | November 12, 2008
We would be lost without some kind of structure in our life. Hopefully we don't take any structure too seriously so it runs us rather than providing boundaries in which to function. I find routine fascinating, especially when tasks become automated because of repetition. Then we get to play the "Did I Really Do That Game" where we float through life on the automaticity wave and don't always remember if a task was completed.
One shift in routine comes during the comprehensive exam. The routine one gets accustom to during the coursework phase of a doctoral program is disrupted by a self-imposed structure. No more "first post needs to be done by Wednesday, second posts by Sunday evening". Nope! It's all on your time now. This shift in routine can be refreshing freedom or a burden without an inkling for how to handle it.
How do you adjust to a shift in routine? Do you write reminder notes? Make notations on a calendar? Fly by the seat of your pants?
In essence it comes down to what works best for you – keep that routine! Allow yourself some adjustment time to become accustom to the new situation. This is one time that acknowledging (in some manner) that there is a different structure in place, is a great first step to successful readjustment.
The adjustment I made during the comprehensive exam had quite an impact on me. I found a rhythm (that worked) and sustained it (for the most part) during that time frame. When it was over I had to make another adjustment back to a far-less intense time and rigorous schedule … back to reality (so to speak). The shifting back and forth was not only an adventure but an awakening to who I am; a living (and affirming) demonstration of flexibility.
Our individual rhythms are like the music of our focus and determination that keeps us steady as we move through our lives. The pace might change but it is nonetheless a unique influence.

If you plan on celebrating Earth Day with a bottle of wine, you might want to pay as much attention to its carbon footprint as its taste. Depending on where you are, how that glass of red or white arrived at your table makes a big environmental difference.
Wine blogger Tyler Colman — popularly known as "Dr. Vino" — and sustainability engineer Pablo Päster studied how different methods of transportation affect the carbon life cycle of wine. Their findings were highlighted in the May 2009 issue of National Geographic.
Not surprisingly, Colman and Päster found "the greatest climate impact from the wine supply chain comes from transportation."
"This transportation impact begins with the delivery of agrichemicals, barrels, and bottles, but is primarily accumulated during the final product shipment to the customer," they said in a white paper written for the American Association of Wine Economists (I'm not kidding — it's an AAWE-inspired report).
Not surprisingly, the study found that container ships were the greenest form of wine transport. Trucks were less efficient, and airplanes even worse.
So, if you're in New York City, it's more environmentally friendly to sip Chateauneuf-du-Pape than a California Chardonnay. That's because the French wine likely came to the Big Apple aboard a container ship, while the California wine was shipped by truck.
If you're in Chicago, however, the opposite might be true. That's because the researchers found a "green line" running from Ohio through the Southeast and across Texas beyond which it's more energy efficient to buy the wine shipped by truck from California. Here's how it runs:
Wines from Australia and Chile also had lower carbon footprints by the time they arrived at their U.S. destination than California wines, even though they travelled farther.
"Our results confirm that the carbon inputs of transportation support the finding that distance matters but mode of transport is still key," the researchers said. "While 'drink locally' is one finding that may not be problematic for residents of California or Bordeaux, it may give New Yorkers or Miamians pause."

|I am looking at the type of grout to use on a porcelain bathroom floor, as well as the pebble floor in the shower. I guess it would make sense to use the same material/color throughout the floor. We used Laticrete in the other bathroom floor, which also has pebbles in the shower. Now I am looking at Custom Building Products Polyblend Sanded grout and I've read some old complaints about Polyblend. Besides the difference in installation, is there any difference in long term performance/care between the two? I haven't seen this topic discussed recently on this forum.
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by bill_vincent (email@example.com) on Sun, Dec 4, 11 at 9:47
|How abobut the fact that if there's a problem that developes, even initially, nevermind over time, that Custom Building products has built itself a reputation for making sure they find any and all reasons why it's not their problem, while Laticrete has built just as strong a reputation for standing behind their products, no matter the cost. It's the biggest reason why I'm such a strong supporter for the use of their products. I've done projects in the past, one, in fact, that cost them dearly, where there was a failure, and they covered every single penny, from demo, to reinstallation, to all materials, including the tile itself. THAT, is a company whose products I want to use.
|thank you --that is certainly something to consider. I think we'll go with polyblend, which we have already, on the bathroom floor and laticrete for the shower. We want to get the bathroom floor ready soon
- Posted by lazarususa (My Page) on Wed, Dec 7, 11 at 22:43
|My only concern with Polyblend is that the colour tends to vary in certain shades. I use Laticrete whenever possible as I find it more consistant. As to "Customer Service," Laticrete is tops in my book. Henry Rothburg is the owner of the Company and is easily accessible and prompt in his concerns over his Company.....I can give you his Email if you like.

June 2013 BOLC Army Reserve Component
- 0May 17, '13 by beepeadooHeading to Ft. Sam for my Reserve Component BOLC on June 6, just thought I'd see if anyone else on here is heading that way as well... looking forward to it!
Also wondered... Does anyone know if Reservists get BAH for BOLC?
- 0May 27, '13 by lelandp1Hey, I hope I'm not breaking any rules here. I'm not a nurse but I'm married to one. I'm a physician assistant attending the June RC BOLC and I was hoping to get some contacts prior to getting there. My unit hasn't had a PA in 6 years and they haven't been able to give me any info except to tell me I'm all signed up and good to go.
- 0Jun 2, '13 by mntal47Hello, I am also heading to Fort Sam on Thursday, wow it is fast approaching. I am not a nurse either. I am a 73A, social worker. I believe we get partial BHS but I think it depends on if you have a family. I talked with some other folks who went before me and they got BAH but a reduced amount. Was about 900 dollars but depends on what state you live in. What time are people landing in San Antonio. My unit doesn't allow us to rent cars so I will be one of the ones catching a cab to the base. Anyway, I am looking forward to starting and learning new things.
