DENVER, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/27/12 -- John Tredennick, founder and CEO of Catalyst Repository Systems, Inc., a pioneer in providing cloud-based document repositories for e-discovery, will present a session, "Reducing Risk -- Why Big Data Applies to e-Discovery, Investigations and Compliance Requests," at MarkLogic's 2012 Summit, "The Power of Big Data," in New York. The session is Thursday, Nov. 29, 2012, 2:20 p.m. to 3 p.m. EST, at Sentry Centers Midtown East.
The one-day summit features risk experts, thought leaders, organizational transformers and business innovators who will discuss their experiences addressing the challenges of big data. Speakers and attendees represent a variety of industries, including media, financial services, telecommunications and healthcare, and organizations like The McGraw-Hill Companies, JPMorgan Chase & Company, Citi, Infrastructure Corporation of America and the BBC.
"Managing big data significantly increases the cost of responding to discovery requests for litigation, arbitration and regulatory investigations," said Tredennick. "With legal review costs running to the billions of dollars, corporations are increasingly turning to sophisticated search techniques to pare down the document population subject to human review. In this session, corporate leaders will learn how they can power big data legal cases through the heart of the litigation lifecycle in a cost-effective manner."
In a co-presentation with Frank Rubino, director of customer solutions at MarkLogic, Tredennick will discuss how some of the world's largest corporations are using Catalyst Insight, the only ediscovery platform based on MarkLogic XML technology, to manage digital assets with less risk and cost-effectively navigate hundreds of terabytes of data in litigation, investigations and compliance requests.
Among topics the session will cover:
- How to leverage the flexibility and scalability of XML, which can handle the largest matters involving vast amounts of unstructured data
- How predictive coding provides better results, reduces risk and significantly lowers costs in high-volume matters
- How to achieve unprecedented flexibility in search -- across all or any combination of fields and text -- using ranges, stems and proximity; and searching across folders and secure document collections without compromising the security of private fields and collections
- How advanced predictive coding is revolutionizing multi-language review in large matters, including litigation involving Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Hebrew, Arabic and Western European languages

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

New Commercials for IA, NH
Brandon from New Hampshire is with OperationNH.com and he emailed me to tell me about the new commercials he and his partners have created. The top one is to run in Iowa, and it is about a veteran (presumably from Texas) who loves Ron Paul. Simple and direct, emphasizing the veterant/military slant.
In the lower part of the page are two commercials-in-progress for New Hampshire. The real voice over is not on the first one, but the 2nd one is nearly complete.
When Brandon sent the link to his first efforts a while back, you may remember that the commericals were a bit off. There was the JFK quote and the images of students in a library. It didn't work very well, but was a noble effort. These new commercials, however, are a lot better and have a good focus. Perfect? No, but they are a giant leap forward. Nice work from dedicated New Hampshire folks.
Some people freaked out about the first ads. I was okay with those ads, but this new bunch is a BIG improvement.
God bless that wonderful man for his heartfelt endorsement. I know that was for the Congressional run, but his gratitude comes across in the commercial. I am sure it continues to the present. (There was debate about this.)
I loved the second commercial, too. That shot of Ron Paul ringing the Liberty Bell and the handpainted sign on the truck really capture the momentum of this campaign. You must be very proud!
I don't like the pixelated fragmenty montage thingy with the little kids voiceover but maybe they're into that in Middle America. I get annoyed when kids answer the phone sometimes.
Canada Loves Ron Paul

These ads are perfect! Spread the word to your meetup groups, so we run these ads all over the country!

Definitely lives in Dr. Paul's district in Texas. I'd like to be sure he supports this congressional-race ad being edited into a Presidential ad. Is someone in touch with him, I hope, regarding that? He sounds like a fantastic guy, and I'm glad Dr. Paul's office was able to help him after all that service.

Quick Take: Ventas' Debra Cafaro is one of Jim Cramer's 'Bankable CEOs'
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- TheStreet's Jim Cramer, co-manager of the Action Alerts PLUS portfolio, is here with another one of his "Bankable 21" CEOs.
Cramer likes Debra Cafaro, CEO of Ventas (VTR), the largest senior living facility company in the U.S. The diversified health care REIT is a "perfect combination between growth and yield," he said.
He called Cafaro "hard charging" and someone who returns a lot of cash to shareholders. Currently, the company has a 4.60% dividend yield.
However, it's not just a senior living facility, it's the senior living facility. Cramer said that Ventas is considered by many to be the best senior living facility in the country.Most senior living companies have subpar standards, which ultimately lead to subpar results, he said. "She's a winner for the people who use the facilities and a winner for the people who buy her stock," Cramer concluded. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. Follow @BretKenwell

Enhancements to the Unified Access wired and wireless portfolio and network management system provide more visibility and control of applications traversing the network
Interop 2014, Las Vegas, NV, Apr 3, 2014 - (ACN Newswire) - The Enterprise division of Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) is today unveiling new technology to address the challenges created by pervasive mobility and the explosion of new applications being introduced within enterprises.
As part of its Unified Access approach for both wired and wireless networks, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise is to introduce an innovative access switch and additional network capabilities, giving IT departments more visibility and control of the network, while employees and customers gain flexibility to use the applications they need.
Fueled by the growth of cloud application and by the 'BYOD' phenomenon, the number and type of applications used in enterprises is growing, requiring IT teams to be armed with new tools and capabilities that ensure business goals are met and the network remains secure.
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise is adding deep packet inspection at the wired and wireless access layer expanding its Application Fluent Network capabilities. It can now consolidate this information with network analytics tools that help IT teams gain improved visibility into the applications, and also create policies and enforce them at the edge of the network to secure and optimize delivery of applications to employees and customers.
Additionally, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise helps businesses create more agile networks needed to deploy applications, now that its entire portfolio has Software Defined Networking (SDN) capabilities. Its end-to-end SDN architecture is completed in this launch with the support of SDN interfaces reaching across the access, to the core and into the data center, providing customers investment protection and enabling interoperability with third-party solutions. The SDN capabilities include REST API's, OpenFlow 1.0/1.3 and the ability to leverage OpenStack plug-ins for full orchestration across the entire network.
Product details:
OmniSwitch 6860
The new OmniSwitch 6860 (OS6860) family, with embedded analytics and programmability is one of the industry's most advanced gigabit access switches. Highlights include:
-- An innovative ASIC and coprocessor providing wire-rate deep packet inspection (DPI) and policy enforcement right at the edge of the network. IT has more visibility of applications being used, how much bandwidth is consumed, and the immediate ability to enforce policies to control prioritization, QoS and security.
-- SDN-enabled with the support of OpenFlow and OpenStack.
-- OmniSwitch 6860 models also support four unique 1G PoE ports that offer up to 60W Power over Ethernet (PoE) to support next generation devices that require high power, such as small cells that combine cellular and Wi-Fi, and high definition video surveillance cameras.
-- The OmniSwitch 6860 is also data center and IT friendly: All ports are in the front, with front-to-back cooling and an innovative Bluetooth management connection so smart devices can be used to manage the switch. In addition, it can be used in the data center as a 1GbE top-of-rack switch.
Wireless LAN
Building on its Unified Access approach, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise makes every network service offered consistently available on the wired and wireless network. The enhancements include:
-- DPI capability of up to 1500 applications and programmability support on Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise OmniAccess WLAN controllers.
-- New OmniAccess Access Points to better address the growing adoption of Gigabit wireless (802.11ac) and the diverse deployment needs with outdoor AP, low cost APs and Instant APs.
-- The Aruba Networks' AirGroup service enhancements to support Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) devices. Customers can use consumer devices for screen-sharing and media-streaming in the corporate network not only from Apple(R) but also from manufacturers like Sony, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Samsung, etc. AirGroup enables end users and IT administrators to self-register devices and define who can access them. In the higher education environment, students can register their printers, TVs, games consoles, and other consumer devices, and set access limits for select friends' use, all without IT involvement.
OmniVista 2500 Network Management System
OmniVista is redesigned to better support network analytics and provide the foundation for future consumption models as more enterprises move toward cloud-based services. The new OmniVista 2500 provides:
-- Multi-tenancy and a distributed architecture for resilience, scalability, and future cloud-based service offers.
-- Open northbound/southbound APIs for future interoperability in a SDN architecture.
-- Unified policy engine and cohesive visibility of both wired and wireless networks simplifies IT operations.
-- Centralized network analytics for wired and wireless provides IT a comprehensive view of the users, devices and applications in the network and enables them to apply the appropriate policies to the network devices.
Scott Hughes, CIO, Moravian College
"Moravian College believes that Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise's Unified Access solution will allow the safe, secure and reliable transport of student and teacher data across wired and wireless networks as we transform to an 'all MacBook Pro' campus by 2014."
Peter Cellarius, Business and Corporate Development, Aruba Networks
"The alignment of capabilities between Aruba and Alcatel-Lucent shows strong collaboration and synchronized strategy as we work together to meet the needs of a new generation of mobile users and ease the resulting challenges of IT administrators."
Rohit Mehra, Vice President Network Infrastructure, IDC
"As enterprise IT evangelizes on getting more operational efficiency from their campus network infrastructure deployments, a unified view of wired and wireless network access provides an interesting value proposition, especially when it comes to application discovery, visibility and analytics. Aligned with one of IDC's predictions for 2014, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise's approach of enabling wired and wireless access via SDN and increased programmability will lead to an improved application and user experience that IT will want to leverage."

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

'Flight' Ensemble on Working With Denzel and Faking a Plane Crash (Exclusive Video)
Kelly Reilly, Tamara Tunie and James Badge Dale also discuss how they prepared for their roles and the rarity of adult-targeted movies made on midrange budgets.
I recently had the opportunity to sit down in New York with three key members of the large and diverse ensemble that surrounds Denzel Washington in Robert Zemeckis' Flight, Paramount's big best picture Oscar hopeful: Kelly Reilly, the young British actress whose performance as Nicole, a heroin-addict who tries to reform herself and Washington's alcoholic pilot, could result in a best supporting actress Oscar nomination; Tamara Tunie, the Law & Order veteran who plays a religious stewardess who is presented with a moral dilemma after a plane that Whip was flying while drunk crashes; and James Badge Dale, the chameleonic character actor -- and, I suspect, future star -- who almost steals the movie with just seven minutes of screen time, playing a terminal cancer patient who bumps into Whip and Nicole in a hospital stairwell and offers them his unsolicited and unvarnished opinion about their lives and life in general.
THR Cover: Denzel Washington on the Bible, Tony Scott and the Dangers of Success
Highlights of our conversation can be viewed in the video at the top of this post. Among the topics that are covered within it: what it was like working opposite Washington (Tunie, who previously acted with him seven years ago on Broadway in Julius Caesar, says "At a certain point you kinda forget about the stardom and just really work with the actor and do the job"); how each actor prepared (Reilly learned about heroin and consulted with a former addict, Tunie created a backstory for her character, and Dale lost 20 pounds in just six weeks and shaved his head and body, all for one day of work); the way in which the film's show-stopping plane crash sequence was put together (Tunie, who was inside the cockpit as the plane was jolted, explains, "Basically, through some kind of joystick, they were able to turn the whole thing upside-down"); and the unfortunate rarity these days of adult-targeted movies made on midrange budgets, like this one (Tunie says, "I'm far more interested in seeing complex characters and personal dilemmas than shit blowing up all the time").

In his probing and revelatory biography of one of the great prose stylists of the 20th century, acclaimed biographer Michael Shelden breaks new ground in the evocation of George Orwell's personal life and in our understanding of his art. Based on original interviews, previously undiscovered letters and documents, and astute literary detective work, Orwell is the major biography of one of the great yet elusive literary figures of our time.
Shelden reveals the author of 1984 and Animal Farm as a lively, engaging literary personality. Few writers can rival Orwell's experience of history: being shot through the throat in the Spanish Civil War, holding the position of colonial police superintendent in Burma, and living through the Blitz. Shelden restores a sense of drama and passion to this writer's life and shows him to be a captivating, even heroic character struggling against great public and private turmoil.
About the author: Michael Shelden spent 12 years as a feature writer for the Daily Telegraph in London and as a fiction critic for the Baltimore Sun.

Hello there!
So Opium Pulses is basically a fan site of the Postal series we all love it so much, the games are tied to our Steam groups, we've done giveaways for the Postal games at our giveaway group and my interview with Running With Scissors last year was the most read article on our forum for over 5 months.
Not too long ago I decided to write an article based on Running With Scissors for my friend's gaming news website (http://GameXotic.com) regarding the company's history, their current work on the Postal series and what they have planned going forward.
It was a lot of fun to write and I plan to do more like it in the future, if you'd like to give it a read you can visit the article on our forum here.
Thanks for taking interest and reading people, by the way our Twitter tweets should be feeding into our group home page within the next hour.

Highest Rated (2 agree) 10/10
One of the best Postal 2 mods by far. The detailed levels and lack of bugs make this game easier to run than all other Postal 2 mods I have played. Contains the gore, sick humor, and violence worthy of the game it was modded for. P.S. Don't play this around ur gf or family (contains nudity)

Good morning y'all!
I am flying from Texas to Maryland tomorrow. My nephew just bought a Bushy M4 and, like all M4's, it came with a sub standard mag. I want to take with me 2-3 30 round PMag's with me and give them to him as a present. They're still sealed in plastic and I was going to check my bag.
I know the ban goes into effect on October 1 so I want to get these to him so it's grandfathered. Is there any other reg or law I need to worry about? Would it be smarter to mail them to him via FedEx or similar?

I wanted to start a thread to let others in PA know how good of a time this event was.
Met a lot of really cool people, and rode some epic stuff in Rothrock, followed the next day by a blast of a ride around Raystown.
If you have a Fat Bike, really check this event out next time.

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

Bison Tacos with Avocado & Radish
American bison are an important part of the prairie ecosystem and after a decline almost to extinction around the end of the 19th century, today there are many ranchers working hard to bring them back. I enjoy cooking and eating bison (sometimes referred to as buffalo).
The brands I've tried thus far have all been grass fed, lean, raised in a more sustainable manner and well, delicious. You may be able to find ground bison at your supermarket and it's pretty easy to use in recipes that call for ground beef. Bison steaks however are another story.
Because most bison is grass fed, it's leaner, like grass fed beef. Considered a highly nutrient dense food, it's lower in calories, fat and cholesterol than even chicken, it has 40% more protein than beef and is high in iron, omega 3 fatty acids and vitamin E. Without rich marbling, it needs more tender loving care. Wild Idea Buffalo recently sent me some samples of their products.
Their ranch is located in South Dakota between the Black Hills and the Badlands National Park and their herd is raised without the use of antibiotics or hormones. I knew immediately what I wanted to try with the New York strip loin steak. An extremely lean piece of meat, I knew I would cook it quickly, searing to get some nice color and flavor, and serving it very rare. Because it is so lean, it's particularly good paired with something rich, like avocado.
I got my inspiration from a Martha Stewart recipe, Beef Tacos with Avocado and Radish Salsa. My adaptation is very close to the original. Here's what I did differently. I used bison instead of beef and I used a lot less of it! I rubbed the steak with oil and just sprinkled it with both cumin and chile powder. I used fresh jalapenos instead of picked ones and I added scallions. Most importantly I made my own tortillas.
Please, do yourself a favor. Buy a tortilla press and a big bag of masa harina (Maseca is a good and easy to work with brand) and never settle for store bought tortillas ever again.
Bison Tacos with Avocado and Radish (adapted from Everyday Food, Martha Stewart)
Makes 6 tacos
10 ounces bison strip loin steak
vegetable oil
chile powder
ground cumin
1 avocado, pitted, peeled and diced
4 radishes, diced
2 green onions, sliced
2-3 tablespoons cilantro
1 jalapeno pepper, diced, more or less as desired
2 limes
pinch salt
6 small corn tortillas, preferably homemade
Allow the steak to come to room temperature. Pat it dry with paper towels then rub it with a just enough vegetable oil so it is glossy, but not slick. Sprinkle all sides with chile powder and ground cumin. Heat a cast iron skillet. Sear the meat 3 minutes on the top and bottom and then another 2-3 minutes on the other two sides (loin is almost square shaped). Allow to cool 10 minutes then slice thinly.
Make salsa by combining the diced avocado, radishes, green onions, cilantro and jalapeno. Slice the limes in half and squeeze them over the salsa, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, gently mix then taste. Adjust seasoning as you see fit. Heat the tortillas, top with slices of steak and salsa.

Your Unique Role in Bringing Jews Closer to Judaism
in Judaism
Putting Out the Fire
Decades ago, the Chafetz Chaim gave us a mission: to bring our brothers and sisters back to Torah. Today, with the fires of assimilation and intermarriage burning out of control, every Jew must heed his call. We must all put out the fire.
This practical, down-to-earth, and inspiring guide shows how all of us - laypersons, Rabbi's, students, homemakers, professionals, business people - can do our part in reaching out to secular Jews, making a difference in their lives, and bringing them back where they belong. The Chafetz Chaim's call to action almost a century ago is our rallying cry today: There is a fire raging that is destroying the Jewish people. We have to put it out!

MELBOURNE, Australia Same Grand Slam, same court, same result. Only the year was different for Novak Djokovic - and the amount of time he needed on the bright blue hard surface at Rod Laver Arena.
The Australian Open defending champion took his first step toward winning his third consecutive title at Melbourne Park - and fourth overall - with a 6-2, 6-4, 7-5 win over Paul-Henri Mathieu of France on Monday.
The match lasted 1 hour, 42 minutes, more than four hours faster than when the Serbian star was last on center court, his victory in last year's final over Rafael Nadal in a 5-hour, 53-minute marathon.
The win ran Djokovic's winning streak at Melbourne to 15 matches and his overall win-loss record to 33-5. It's no wonder Djokovic calls the Australian Open, site of his first of five Grand Slams in 2008, his favorite major.
"It's great to be back in Australia playing on this court," Djokovic said.
On an opening day when Maria Sharapova and Venus Williams also easily won their first-round matches, Djokovic took his first step to becoming the first man to win three consecutive Australian Open titles in the Open era.
"Any achievement, especially if it's part of history, would mean a lot to me," Djokovic said. "I love this sport. This sport has been my life since I was 4 years old."
Djokovic lost a match to Australia's Bernard Tomic in the exhibition mixed-team Hopman Cup tournament this month, but said his win over Mathieu, who reached a career-high No. 12 ranking in 2008, was a good steppingstone for his second-round match against American Ryan Harrison, a 2-6, 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 winner over Santiago Giraldo of Colombia.
Sharapova finished her first match of the year in 55 minutes, cruising to a 6-0, 6-0 win over Olga Puchkova to start proceedings on center court without showing any signs of trouble with her sore right collarbone.
The No. 2-ranked Sharapova, who lost the final to Victoria Azarenka here last year before going on to win the French Open, faced only two break points in the match and she saved both of those in the first game with aces.
Sharapova withdrew from the Brisbane International earlier this month with a collarbone injury, saying she wanted to concentrate on being fit for Melbourne. She also skipped the Brisbane tournament last year before going on to reach the Australian Open final.
"After a couple of close games and a few break points, I certainly started to concentrate a bit better," she said. "Overall, I was happy with the way I started, considering I didn't play any matches coming in."
Sharapova has a potential third-round match against Venus Williams, who needed just an hour for her opening 6-1, 6-0 win over Galina Voskoboeva of Kazakhstan.
No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska won the last nine straight games in her opening 7-5, 6-0 win over Australian wild-card Bojana Bobusic 7-5, 6-0, and 2011 U.S. Open champion Samantha Stosur beat Chang Kai-chen of Taiwan 7-6 (3), 6-3 to end a run of five losses on her home courts in Australia.
