The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal.
July 2013.
Background: We aimed to determine whether serotype 1 (SP1) invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) can be distinguished by demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics from IPD caused by the other most common serotypes (MCS) in our region: 5, 14, 6A, 6B, 19A, 19F, 23F.
Methods: Data for all IPD episodes in children <18 years old treated at the Soroka University Medical Center during 2000 to 2009 were retrospectively retrieved. Episodes caused by SP1-IPD were compared with those caused by MCS-IPD (both grouped and individual serotypes). Analyses were adjusted for age and ethnicity.
Results: Ninety-four SP1-IPD and 250 MCS-IPD episodes were documented. SP1-IPD cases were older (68.3 ± 52.6 months versus 30.4 ± 39.2 months; P < 0.001) and more likely to be found in Bedouin children than MCS-IPD (87.5% versus 58.6%; P < 0.001). SP1 was less frequently isolated from patients with underlying disease than MCS (14.9% versus 31.6 %; P < 0.001; relative risk 0.15 [95% confidence interval: 0.07–0.32]). SP1 was more often associated with bacteremic pneumonia and primary peritonitis than MCS (66% versus 38.4% and 7.4% versus 0.8%, respectively; P < 0.001); the proportion of bacteremia without focus was higher in MCS-IPD (32.4% versus 12.5%; P < 0.001). There were no differences in hospitalization and mortality rates (70.2% versus 68.0% [P = 0.22] and 4.3% versus 5.6% [P = 0.26], respectively).
Conclusions: SP1 was found less frequently than MCS in children with underlying diseases, but it was more frequent in older and Bedouin children with IPD. SP1 was more frequently associated with bacteremic pneumonia and primary peritonitis than MCS grouped.

I would like to keep my user account, but remove the icon for my user account from login screen, So I will only have the Asus Smart Login Icon to click on and use it. (FYI: If the camera can't get a pic for whatever reason to log me in, I can still use a dropdown menu to select my username and then type a password in.) Does anyone know how to go about doing this?

What causes wrist pain? 14 possible conditions
Viewing 14 of 14 results
What Is Wrist Pain?
Wrist pain is pain located in the wrist. It is often caused by carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Other causes include arthritis, injury, and gout.
What Are the Causes of Wrist Pain?
CTS is a common condition in which swelling in the wrist tightens around the median nerve. Swelling may occur if you:
- perform repetitive tasks with your hands such as typing, drawing, writing, or sewing
- are overweight, pregnant, or menopausal
- have a disorder such as diabetes, arthritis, or an underactive thyroid
An injury to your wrist will cause pain. Wrist injuries include sprains, broken bones, and tendinitis. Swelling, bruising, and disfigured joints may signify a wrist injury.
Gout, a condition in which the body over-produces or under excretes uric acid, can cause wrist pain. When circulating uric acid level are abnormally high, the uric acid crystals can deposit in the joints. Gout frequently occurs in the knees, ankles, and wrists. Pseudogout is a similar condition where calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) deposits appear in the joints. Joints are often red and swollen.
Causes of gout include:
- drinking too much alcohol
- overeating
- surgery
- trauma
- certain medications
Conditions such as high blood pressure, pregnancy, diabetes, and obesity can trigger gout.
Arthritis is a condition in which the joints are inflamed. The condition can cause swelling and stiffness. There are many types of arthritis. Common types include:
- rheumatoid arthritis—an autoimmune disease common among women, usually affecting both wrists
- osteoarthritis— a disease of joint "wear and tear" common among the elderly
- psoriatic arthritis—a condition that includes a skin disorder
Arthritis can occur from many causes. These include aging, normal wear and tear, and overworking the hands.
What Are the Symptoms of Wrist Pain?
Symptoms of CTS include:
- trouble making a fist or gripping objects
- a sensation that the hands have fallen asleep
- swollen fingers
- pain, numbness, and/or tingling that may get worse at night
Symptoms of gout include:
- sudden, sharp pain
- swelling or redness
- warmth in a joint
Symptoms of gout may go away and return months or years later.
Arthritis has many similar symptoms to CTS, including difficulty gripping items, swelling, and pain. Seek immediate medical attention if your wrist is warm and red and if you have a fever over 100 degrees F. These factors may signify infectious arthritis, a serious illness.
How Is Wrist Pain Diagnosed?
Your doctor will give you a physical examination to diagnose wrist pain. He or she may diagnose wrist pain by:
- bending your wrist forward for 60 seconds to see if numbness or tingling occurs
- tapping the area over the median wrist to see if pain occurs
- testing your grip
- asking you about your medical history
- ordering tests such as an electromyography or nerve conduction velocity
- taking X-rays of your wrist
Your doctor may check for gout by:
- ordering an X-ray of your joints
- ordering a screening test of your urine and blood
- examining a sample of fluid taken from your joints to check for crystals or calcium
What Are the Treatments for Wrist Pain?
Treatment options for CTS may include:
- wearing a wrist brace or splint to reduce swelling and ease wrist pain
- applying hot or cold compresses
- taking oral or injected anti-inflammatory drugs
- surgery, in severe cares
If you have undergone a wrist injury, you can help healing by:
- resting your wrist and keeping it elevated
- placing an ice pack on the affected area to lower swelling and numb pain
- taking a mild pain reliever such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen
- wearing a wrist splint
Get immediate medical attention if you cannot move your wrist or if any part of your hand looks deformed. You may have broken a bone.
If you have arthritis, consider visiting a physical therapist. A physical therapist can show you some strengthening and stretching exercises for your wrist.
If you have gout, your doctor may recommend:
- taking an anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen or naproxen
- drinking lots of liquid to reduce the concentration of uric acid
- cutting back on fat and alcohol intake
How Can I Prevent Wrist Pain?
You can help prevent wrist pain by:
- using an ergonomic keyboard to keep your wrists from bending upwards
- resting your hands often while typing or doing similar activities
- working with an occupational therapist to stretch and strengthen your wrists
To help prevent future gout attacks, consider:
- drinking more water and less alcohol
- eating less liver, anchovies, and other smoked or pickled fish
- eating moderate amounts of protein
- taking medication, as prescribed by your doctor

Will there be an outcry? The banking system in Israel s certainly gouging the public and the investors. Skimming all the profits just like the tycoons are doing with their dubious business models. Interesting that all is written up and yet little is done to address these distortions. What about the IDF's pay structure. Is it really 60% of the IDF budget going for salaries and pensions to personnel? and where are the cut backs being made? David

There is a season for everything. In life, as with gardens, we know this vividly and yet how often we try to defy the odds and accelerate the beginning of the gardening season, or attempt to push the limits on the back end.
Strawberries are often given a bad rap as a fussy, needy plants.
Unlike annuals which complete their life cycle in one growing season, perennials can persist for years, often with a minimum of care.
By August, many gardeners are content to sit back and enjoy the garden after the very busy and tiring seasons of spring and early summer.
What's it Mean When a Plant "Bolts" or "Goes to Seed"?
There's a place where gardeners don't have to worry about the frost nipping the hibiscus flowers, but most of us only experience it when we're on vacation — it's in the tropics, where the weather is warm all year round, and ban...
Sometimes it pays to think outside of the "pot" when planning a container garden.
True Gumbo Confession: Over the last few weeks, I've often wondered whether I was crazy to offer to create a gumbo for Fiskars.
This article kicks off our new Fiskars gardening series on growing from seed.
Now that your seeds have sprouted and green growth is filling up every inch of your seedling trays, what's next?
You've waited months for the spring to return. Finally, you can start gardening outdoors again. And if you're like me, you're definitely ready to get going.
Starting flowers and vegetables from seed is a great activity, especially when you just can't wait any longer to get your hands dirty before spring.
It never fails. I've been guilty of the same crime: the untimely, overly optimistic and false belief that spring has sprung early.
Around our house, we eat from the garden as much as we can. We don't just grow different vegetables, herbs and fruit to eat. We also plant flowers to enjoy in the kitchen too.
Growing up I believed I hated peas.
Come home for Earth Day, and stick around for the healthy harvest.
Early Spring is a great time to plant lemons, limes, oranges, and other citrus trees in southern climates.
For centuries, folks have known that mint (Menta spp.) is a special herb.
There is something so wonderful about homemade soup.
Peonies are perfect!
Planning fun activities to incorporate into your garden plan can help encourage kids who are expected to help in the garden, but aren't in love with gardening, to view it with a more positive attitude.
Fresh herbs are pretty and delicious, as well as easy to grow.
Legumes, which include peas and beans, are some of the easiest edibles to grow.
Lavender is one of the most popular flowering herbs.

NEVADA CITY, Calif. (AP) - Lance Armstrong has won the Nevada
City Classic, a challenging one-day race in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
Armstrong finished ahead of third-place teammate Levi Leipheimer on the repeated 1.1-mile loop through the historic mining town. More than 15,000 fans cheered on the seven-time Tour de France winner.
Armstrong only committed to the Nevada City Classic five days earlier as he prepares for another run at the Tour after a 3½-year absence from cycling. He finished 12th in the Giro D'Italia last month, and his son, Max, was born June 5.
"What a great Nevada City Classic," Armstrong said in a posting on his Twitter account. "I managed to get the win, Levi Leipheimer was 3rd. HARD race. The crowds? Electric..."

Highlighting HEDIS®
In order to assist our providers in maximizing patient health outcomes in accordance with NCQA's1 HEDIS®2 measurements for high quality care on important dimensions of services, we have introduced an article series in our monthly newsletter Partners in Health UpdateSM.
What is HEDIS®?
The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®) is a tool used by more than 90 percent of America's health plans to measure performance on important dimensions of care and service. Altogether, HEDIS® consists of 75 measures across eight domains of care. Because so many plans collect HEDIS® data, and because the measures are so specifically defined, HEDIS® makes it possible to compare the performance of health plans on an "apples-to-apples" basis, according to NCQA (National Committee for Quality Assurance).
We've compiled the Highlighting HEDIS® articles published to date, which feature different HEDIS® measures each month, into the below booklet for your reference. We will add to this booklet as new articles are published.
If you have comments on the information you read in Highlighting HEDIS® or you have topics you'd like to see included, email us at email@example.com.
1The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) is the most widely recognized accreditation program in the U.S.

Featured review from Dave Schanding

First half of the concert gave some background on how the symphony was created and evolved. After intermission, we heard the symphony without commentary. Was interesting to learn a little of Mahler's background.

There is an actress and actor and a narrator giving information about Mahler's life and how he looked at music. The actress read from his wife's point of view and the actor read from Mahler's point of view. Additionally, there was a soprano...continued
Mahler's Symphony No. 4, completed in 1901, is one of his most immediately attractive and approachable works, a gorgeous cornucopia of musical memories and dreams filled with folk tunes, children's songs, klezmer music, art songs, Viennese waltzes, military marches and—at the heart of the work—one of the most passionate slow movements written by Mahler.
The CSO explores the place of this music in the art and culture of late 19th century Vienna, in the rich and decadent final years of the Habsburg Empire, and delves into the sensuous beauty of the final movement, one of Mahler's most ravishing songs, a childlike dream of the life in heaven that greets those who have suffered on this earth.
Markus Stenz, conductor
Nicole Cabell, soprano
Gerard McBurney, creative director
William Brown, actor
Laura T. Fisher, actress
Elizabeth Buccheri, piano
The CSO's highly successful multimedia series Beyond the Score reveals the story behind great works of music, with dramatized commentary and multimedia illustrations. The first half of the concert is a live documentary with an engaging exploration of the score, discussion of its context in history, and live musical examples. Following intermission the work is played in its entirety.
About the Ticket Supplier: Chicago Symphony OrchestraThe CSO is a musical force in Chicago and around the world with more than 150 performances and events a year, 107 talented musicians, two internationally renowned conductors, and two award-winning composers-in-residence.
The central mission of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association is to present classical music through the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to Chicago, national and international audiences.
The mission is supported by four mutually reinforcing elements: artistic excellence (continued international preeminence in the field of orchestral excellence), audience development (leading audience development initiatives), education (superior education and community programs) and financial stability (fiscal responsibility for long-term stability).
In November 2008, the CSO was ranked the best U.S. orchestra by Gramophone magazine.

Ventrolla is spreading the word across Staffordshire and Shropshire as Tony Dee, Director of Ventrolla Staffs and Salop, transforms his car into a mobile showroom.
His car is now filled with examples of renovated sash windows, the unique Ventrolla Perimeter Sealing System (VPSS), double glazed sashes, specialist glass, secondary glazing and hardware – all at Tony's disposal to use for customer demonstrations at any given time.
Tony said: "The mobile showroom is a response to a change in attitude among period home owners.
Customers still want to focus on preserving their sash window features during a renovation but are also taking more notice of the windows energy performance.
This has resulted in a lot of interest in our new slim double glazed sashes, secondary glazing and the added benefits of the VPSS.
As I'm on the road a lot, it's great to have these examples to hand so that I can show the benefits of all our products and services without having to organise a separate visit."
The mobile showroom is up and running now, so keep your eyes peeled if you're out and about in the area.

Dave was the oldest and handled the center duties for Dalton Rivers' Blue Hurricanes in the mid-to-late 1960s. Bill followed in the late 1960s and graduated in 1971. Thomas rounded out the trio with his final season in 1976 under the late Marv Maxwell.

Drake, Chris Brown, Nas, and T.I. Celebrate Maxim Hot 100
There was plenty of eye candy at Maxim's Hot 100 Party at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood on Tuesday. The fellas came out to honor this year's sexiest women and maybe even pick up a few phone numbers.
After celebrating his homecoming from jail last week, Chris Brown returned to the party circuit. The "Loyal" singer avoided photographers by arriving late and made a quiet entrance with security in tow.
T.I. was all smiles as he hit the red carpet, while Drake skipped the press line and headed straight inside where he met up with Nas and Irv Gotti.
This year's Hot 100 list of beauties includes Miley Cyrus (#25), Beyoncé (#21), Rihanna (#11), and Katy Perry (#3).
In between partying, Drake has been rehearsing for Houston Appreciation Week, which kicks off Thursday. He will perform at Warehouse Live and host an after-party with Lil Wayne on Friday.

15Team Dogz
I like your scooters they are soiled and easy to tail whip

Very good quality as good as top brands but not top money happy
Great scooters! They are what you get for for 300 bucks but they only cost 150. They are underestimated because they are a large company that produces.

Wicked tuna wheels, fresh lettuce deck, garden bars, gape grips,... I grow these awesome rides!
39Urbanartt Brand LTD
One of the latest in the industry but to me is the best and mature brand!
They are way under rated in this, the only reason madd gear and lucky is at the top is because they are popular with the little scooter kids that knowm nothing about scooters. I think that urban artt should be at the top three cause the products they make are so good. they feel great to ride they are usually super light and are very very strong
This is a great brand proably better than mgp and pheonex but my list would be Urbanartt, mgp, apex, pheonix, tilt, lucky, district proto, grit, razor
Trickster is a scooter that you can do many cool tricks on it and it is a lot of fun.
Pretty solid with a few mods
Sturdy very dialled scooters they are henrally very good and not all fancy but good

Xinyuan Real Estate Announces Closing Of Private Placement Of Convertible Notes And Common Shares
BEIJING, Sept. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. (NYSE: XIN, "Xinyuan" or "the Company"), a real estate developer with a focus on high growth cities in China, today announced the closing of its previously announced private placement of common shares and convertible notes to an affiliate of TPG (the "Investor"). At the completion of the transaction, Xinyuan issued to the Investor 12 million common shares at a price of US$2.74 per common share (equivalent to US$5.48 per ADS) and senior secured convertible notes due 2018 (the "Convertible Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of approximately US$75.8 million.
Xinyuan received approximately US$108.6 million of gross proceeds from the private placement and anticipates using the proceeds, among other purposes, for land acquisition and general corporate purposes to support further development of the Company.
The Convertible Notes are convertible into common shares of Xinyuan at an initial conversion rate of US$3.00 per common share (equivalent to US$6.00 per ADS). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. A holder of Convertible Notes may convert notes, at its option, in integral multiples of US$100,000 principal amount at any time prior to the maturity date.
The Convertible Notes carry an annual cash coupon rate of 5% and are scheduled to mature on September 19, 2018. Interest on the notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 19th and September 19th of each year, beginning March 19, 2014. The Convertible Notes are secured pari passu with Xinyuan's outstanding US$200 million 13.25% senior notes due 2018 (the "Senior Notes") and are secured by the same collateral package and are guaranteed by the same subsidiaries of the Company as the Senior Notes.Taking into account the common shares and the full conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Investor would hold a total of 37.2 million common shares (18.6 million ADSs) on a fully diluted basis, equivalent to approximately 20% of the Company's total share capital. Upon the closing of the transaction, Mr. Steve Sun joined Xinyuan's board of directors, as the Investor's nominee to the board. Mr. Sun also became a member of the board's compensation committee, nominating and corporate governance committee and investment committee. Effective upon closing, Mr. Omer Ozden resigned as a director of the Company. Mr. Ozden is expected to take an increased role with respect to the Company's capital markets and international real estate development efforts. Xinyuan has agreed, subject to certain terms and conditions, to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), covering the resale by the Investor from time to time in the form of ADSs representing the common shares sold to the Investor or issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes.

I am a 71 year old student studying Interior Design and French. I have always wanted to go to college and now I am able to do it. I have attended classes before, but never was able to finish due to children and working. I have five children ranging in age from 53 to 24, and I have eight grandchildren. I am hoping to study in France as part of my education.
I am very excited about this project, translating Congolese women's writing from French into English. I just completed my first and will start another next week.

On October 24, 2012 Cloudera announced the release of Cloudera Impala and the commercial support subscription service of Cloudera Enterprise Real Time Query (RTQ). During the Hadoop World/STRATA Conference in NYC, I was invited over to see a demonstration. Impala is a SQL based Real Time Query/Ad Hoc query engine built on top of HDFS or Hbase. As I watched the demonstration unfold, I wondered if one of the remaining technology gaps in the NOSQL arsenal had been closed. What gap you ask? Near Real Time Analytics on a NOSQL stack. Working with customers across the Cyber Security customer space, not only do they face the familiar BIGDATA horsemen of the apocalypse: Volume, Velocity and Variety but one more large challenge crept in: Time (V3T). The Near Real Time Analysis/Near Real Time Analytic capability that Cloudera Impala provides is essential in many high value use cases associated with Cyber Security: comparing current activity with observed historical norms, correlation of many disparate data sources/enrichment and automated threat detection algorithms.
When the demonstration concluded, the Cloudera representatives and I discussed the potential of performing an informal independent evaluation of Cloudera Impala against some of the common Real Time/Near Real Time use cases in Cyber Security. I agreed to step up and perform an independent evaluation as well as developing a demonstration platform for FedCyber 2012 (almost three weeks hence for inquiring minds). So let us set the field: a new BETA technology, NO prior exposure to the technology or documentation, a vendor making promises, addressing a large technology gap and three weeks to implement, seemed straight forward; no pressure.
The day after I returned from the STRATA Conference, I returned to my office and provisioned four Virtual Machines in order to build the Impala demonstration. As a committer/contributor for SherpaSurfing an open source Cyber Security solution, I have an abundance of data sets, enrichment sources, Hive data structures and services. Given the amount of time and the audience for FedCyber 2012, I decided to focus on some Intrusion Detection and Netflow related use cases for the demonstration. The data sets for the demonstration included base data sets: 20 million Netflow events, 8 million Intrusion Detection System events and enrichment: Geographic, Blacklist, Whitelist and Protocol related information. Each of the selected uses cases for this demonstration is critical to the Perform Near-Real Time Network Analysis domain in Cyber Security. The name for the demonstration system was decided to be the Impala Mission Demonstration Platform (IMDP). The IMDP was implemented based on vendor recommendations with no tuning or optimization.
The IMDP effort provided me with my first opportunity to work with Cloudera Manager. Although this post is focused on Cloudera Impala I would be remiss not to mention Cloudera Manager. I have worked with Hadoop since 1.0 and built more than a few clusters over the years. I used the installation and configuration guides provided with Cloudera Impala and followed the recommendations. One of the first recommendations was use of the Cloudera Manager. Using the Cloudera Manager (CDH 4.1), I was able to roll out a four node cluster in two hours. I was able to discover the hosts, manage services and provision them in accordance with the IMDP deployment plan. The deployment plan consisted of:
- node 1 – hbase, hdfs, impala, mapreduce
- node2 – hbase, hdfs, impala, mapreduce
- node3 – hbase(region server, master), hdfs(namenode), impala(impalad, statestore), mapreduce(job tracker, tasktracker) , hue, oozie and zookeeper
- node4 – Application Tier, Cloudera Manager
The Cloudera Manager saved at least two days of effort in deploying the cluster, the tight integration with the support portal, comprehensive help and one place to work with all properties of the entire cluster and view space consumption metrics; verdict on Cloudera Manager: Cloudera masterful, bold stroke, thumbs up.
Now that the cluster build-out completed; I shifted attention to deploying and configuring the Cloudera Impala service. Using Cloudera Manager, I deployed Impala on three nodes: three instances of Impalad and one impala state store, in a matter of minutes. I completed the deployment and configuration of the Hive MetaStore. Keeping in mind this is a BETA; the documentation was complete, but fragmented on deployment and configuration (HIVE MetaStore portion); verdict on impala deployment and configuration: solid for a BETA (needs an example hive-site.xml, configuration guide needs better flow).
At this point all configuration and deployment was completed, attention turned to building data structures and loading data. I took the Data Definition Language (DDL) scripts or data structures for ten data sources and enrichment; ported them over to Hive and tested them in less than four hours. It is worthy of mention that the data sources for this demonstration are large flat tables: netflow and intrusion detection system. Cloudera Impala uses HIVE as an Extract Transform Load (ETL) engine, using Hive I defined all of the data structures in source files which were sourced using hive shell: created a database (Sherpa). Hive was then used to load data into the tables that were just created. Creating data structures in Hive was simple as usual and loading data sets was quick (20 million netflow events in 57 seconds). Logging into impala-shell, issued a refresh of the MetaStore and I was working with data. I performed verification of the data load, all data loaded and no issues were revealed. One area of potential improvement would be more comprehensive messages on load failure. Defining the data structures and loading data using Hive was nothing new; verdict: really good; easy to use, easy to load, but need to improve failed load messages.
Finally, we moved on to the most interesting stage which is using Cloudera Impala in a series of Real Time Query (RTQ) scenarios that are common across the Cyber Security customer space. The real world scenarios selected come from the perform netflow analysis set of use case(s). In each of these scenarios, the exact same queries were executed on the same cluster using Hive and then Impala against the same data structures (database and tables). In the Hive approach, we traverse the batch processing stack and with Impala we traverse the Real Time Query (RTQ) stack performing a series of analytics. In the first use case, I ran a five tuple (sip, sport, dip, dport, protocol) summary covering bytes per packet, summing bytes and packets for a 20 million event set resulted in: identical result sets, Hive 82 seconds – Impala 6 seconds. In the second use case, I performed a summary of destination ports where the source port is 80 which resulted in: identical result sets, Hive 57 seconds, Impala 5 seconds. In the third use case, I performed correlation between netflow and intrusion detection systems, correlating netflow with intrusion detection events for several hours which resulted in: identical result sets, Hive 40 seconds, Impala sub-second. Finally, for FedCyber 2012, I developed a java based situational awareness dashboard which connected to Cloudera Impala via ODBC and executed analytics performing: correlation of blacklists, Intrusion Detection, Netflow, statistical cubes for ten hours with a refresh of every five seconds without failure or issue. The ODBC implementation easily provided the ability to export data to desktop tools (using ODBC) and common BI tools as advertised. Developing and Using Cloudera Impala verdict: This is as advertised; easy to use, easy to implement on, very fast, very flexible and more than capable of running real time analytics. The Impala shell is limited but much of the demonstration work was done using result sets so it was not an impediment.
In summation, I have worked for over a decade across the vast BIGDATA technology space covering Legacy Relational Database, Data Warehouse, and NOSQL; Cloudera Impala proved more than capable of running near real time analytics and providing mission relevance to customers with a Near Real Time (NRT) requirement. Based on my initial review Cloudera Impala appears to be a bold step in closing the gap of near real time analytics on a NOSQL stack. I did encounter some minor problems, but the few problems and limitations that were encountered in this demonstration were documented and published in the known issues document so they will not be shared; none were show stoppers.
The notes, details and all of the lessons learned, data structures and the configuration guide from the demonstration are being published out on Github under SherpaSurfing in the coming days. These documents cover everything in detail and will enable developers to replicate the demonstration platform and get a jump start on Cloudera Impala. Finally, I would like to thank two contributors: Hanh Le, Robert Webb and Six3 Systems for helping me pull this off.

U.S. Army and Northrop Grumman officials are hopeful that they will be able to successfully fly a huge, unmanned airship over Lakehurst, NJ in the next couple of weeks.
Called the Long Endurance Multi-Intelligence Vehicle (LEMV), the aircraft has been designed as a surveillance tool for the Army, and its first flight is about a year behind schedule. But now Wired magazine reports that K.C. Brown, the director of Army programs for NGC, has said "We're about to fly the thing."
Military airships have been beset with problems ranging from integration of the necessary equipment to undefined missions. But Northrop Grummand and the Army say that the LEMV will "redefine persistent surveillance."
The first flight profile calls for the $500 million 300-foot-long airship to take a short flight around Lakehurst before being flown to Tampa, FL, where it will be mated with a gondola equipped with cameras and radio gear. From there, it will fly across the Atlantic in "early winter" for a demonstration in an unspecified "theater."
NGC says the LEMV can fill roles beyond surveillance. The current model can carry up to 20 tons of cargo. Made larger, they claim it could carry hundreds of tons at a cost far less than a fixed-wing airplane. (Image courtesy Northrop Grumman)
