Gus Johnson Makes 'Barn' Debut Thursday for Illinois-Minnesota
Jan. 29, 2009
Chicago, Ill. - In his prolific broadcasting career, one historic college basketball venue that Gus Johnson has never visited is Williams Arena, better known at the University of Minnesota as "The Barn." That streak ends on Thursday night for the Big Ten Network play-by-play announcer. Johnson will team with Shon Morris to call the Illinois-Minnesota game at 9 PM ET on the Big Ten Network.
"I've always found it interesting to watch (Minnesota's) games on TV because the crowd always seems so electric. Then they have that raised court - I've seen that for many years and have always been intrigued by that set-up," Johnson said. "This is a game for both teams to see how good they actually are. Both teams have five (conference) wins and you need nine, 10 wins in the conference to earn an at-large bid [into the NCAA tournament], so this is a huge game for both teams."

Brazil minister: Parties not protests at World Cup
Rebelo expects the remaining six World Cup stadiums to be completed by the December deadline established by FIFA, but acknowledged that not all infrastructure work in the 12 host cities may be finished in time for the tournament next June.
"Most of them will be delivered before the World Cup," he said. "And the few that aren't ready by the World Cup will be completed shortly after and will remain as a legacy for the population."
The minister also said the World Cup in Brazil will mark an important stage in the fight against racism in soccer, saying the government is already working with FIFA and the United Nations to create programs to promote racial equality in the sport.
"We are a country of mixed population and very mixed origins," he said. "It will be important to show this. We value tolerance and despise hate. This is important to us and we think it's important to the rest of the world, too."

Innovation Day : PSA Peugeot Citroën Presents Major Innovations For the Car of the Future Business Wire PARIS -- January 22, 2013 Regulatory News : "The process by which automobiles evolve is advancing very quickly in what is a profoundly changing environment. In 2012, PSA Peugeot Citroën was the European leader in fuel-efficient cars, with the market's lowest CO[2] emissions. We are stepping up our innovation here at PSA Peugeot Citroën to meet the major challenges of tomorrow's mobility. Today, we will be showing you pioneering solutions for vehicles that respond to new customer expectations in an ever-more environmentally friendly way." With this message, Guillaume Faury, Executive Vice President of Research & Development at PSA Peugeot Citroën (Paris:UG), welcomed 100 business and political decision makers, partners and journalists to the Group's Automotive Design Network (ADN) R&D centre in Vélizy, France for its Innovation Day. During the event, guests had the opportunity to discover several game-changing technologies developed by PSA Peugeot Citroën to meet the challenges facing the car of the future, including urbanisation, climate change, consumers' shifting mobility choices and new ways of using vehicles. In particular, the Group organised a world-premiere presentation of a revolutionary technology called Hybrid Air, a petrol and compressed air full-hybrid solution. During a press conference, Philippe Varin, Chairman of the Group's Managing Board, Guillaume Faury, Executive Vice President of Research & Development, Philippe Bouyoux, France's Deputy General Commissioner for Investment Projects and François Loos, Chairman of the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME), unveiled a new type of full-hybrid powertrain known as Hybrid Air. This breakthrough technology, which combines a petrol engine and compressed air for energy storage, represents a key step towards the 2l/100km car by 2020. Other brand new solutions available as from 2013 on Peugeot and Citroën brand vehicles to meet emerging expectations were also presented, including: EMP2: PSA Peugeot Citroën's new global modular platform Participants were treated to a preview of the Group's new global platform, Efficient Modular Platform 2 (EMP2). This new generation platform provides effective solutions in terms of modularity, equipment and carbon reduction. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR): an innovative technology for eliminating diesel NOx emissions In 2013, PSA Peugeot Citroën will introduce selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to maintain its leadership in diesel engine efficiency and lower NOx emissions to the level of petrol engines. Because it is positioned upstream from the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) with additive, this unique technology makes it possible to both eliminate NOx and reduce fuel consumption (by 2 to 4% from Euro 5 levels). Lastly, innovations that set the stage for the car of the future were also on display, including: Eco Hybrid: a broadly accessible hybrid solution The use of this technology on petrol and diesel vehicles in the B, C and D segments will reduce CO[2] emissions by 15g and cut fuel consumption by up to 15%. Dedicated Exhaust Gas Recirculation System (EGR): an innovative solution to optimise petrol engine fuel consumption This innovation is designed to improve petrol engine efficiency and deliver significant fuel savings. Hydole: a mainly electric hybrid demonstrator The Group and its partners have developed a plug-in hybrid demonstrator that puts peace of mind into the EV driving experience to test the potential uses of the car of the future and meet customer expectations for driving range, comfort and affordability. VelV: the light city electric vehicle 60% of trips within cities are made in individual cars, with a resulting impact on CO[2] emissions. VelV is a light electric vehicle project designed to meet city and suburban driving needs with a record power consumption level of just 85 Wh/km travelled.

Kirsten Dunst - who is currently dating Garrett Hedlund - worries she will never find someone to settle down and have children with.
Kirsten Dunst fears she'll never find anyone to have children with.
The 30-year-old actress - who is currently dating 27-year-old actor Garrett Hedlund - is scared by the ''Peter Pan'' attitude of many of the guys she meets and can't see them ever being mature enough to Settle down.
She told Psychologies magazine: ''I thought when I reached 30 I'd have a lot more figured out.
''But until you have a kid, you're just looking for your partner. And guys have a Peter Pan vibe.
''They're 35 and they behave like they're 25. That's what scares me about being in my 30s - not finding someone to have kids with.''
Kirsten recently admitted that as she gets older she prefers to be friends with someone before dating them because she can't rely on ''instant chemistry'' to help form a long lasting relationship.
She said: ''My experience is that as you get older you try to pick a partner who you're friends with. It's hard to find balance and that's not going to come with the 'instant chemistry' kind of people.''

Readers share their feelings about people in books
Just as I made it through those pages, my brother-in-law Jim called to tell me he had a few minutes to run an errand with me. I dropped the book and hopped into the car with him, and we took off down the freeway with me at the wheel. A few minutes in, when I'd settled into the drive, Anne's loss came back to me, and I was overcome by huge, wracking sobs that shook my body. The tears blinded me, snot ran down my face and, as I wiped it away with my arm, I started to swerve all over the road.
I'm not sure whether Jim, never comfortable with my outpourings of emotion, was more horrified by my driving or my wailing. "Anne's baby died," I cried.
"Oh my God. Oh my God! Pull over," he yelled. And then slowly, "Anne who?"
"Anne Shirley Blythe. Anne of Green Gables," I managed to choke out. — Eileen Haley, Encinitas

The Madras High Court on Tuesday reserved orders on a petition by the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) seeking to forbid the authorities from demolishing or modifying the heritage structure of the P.Orr and Sons building on Anna Salai.
A Division Bench comprising Justices Elipe Dharma Rao and M.Venugopal reserved orders on conclusion of arguments.
In its petition, INTACH, represented by its convenor, Sriram Venkatakrishnan, challenged the decision of the Chennai Corporation and the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority to permit the demolition of a part of the building in gross violation of the Development Control Rules (DCR) and a High Court judgment of 2006.
When the matter came up, the petitioner's counsel submitted that the DCR laid down special rules for the conservation of heritage buildings. That mandated that no development or redevelopment or additions and alterations of the heritage buildings should be carried out except with the prior written permission of the Member-Secretary, CMDA. The counsel's main contention was that in the present case, the consultation was not done and the CMDA issued a letter to the CMRL that a portion of the building was not a heritage structure.
Advocate-General A. Navaneethakrishnan said the portion of the building sought to be acquired for Metro Rail was not a heritage structure.
Counsel for Associated Publishers (Madras) Ltd., whose tenant was P.Orr and Sons, said the notification and the declaration under the Land Acquisition Act had been passed. The award had also been passed. The compensation was yet to be received.

Kadapa Assistant Commissioner of Endowments G. Mallikarjuna Prasad conducted a grievance cell to redress the grievances of temple archakas, the first of its kind in the State, in Sri Someswara Swamy kalyana mantapam here on Thursday.
76 representations
Archakas of various temples from all over the district submitted 76 representations to the Assistant Commissioner.
The major grievances put forth by them was that they were not being paid salaries for three months and that funds for 'dhoopam', 'deepam' and 'naivedyam' in the temple were also not being disbursed for two months. They sought disbursal of salaries and the funds promptly every month.
Hereditary jobs
Some representations pertained to appeals to hand over temples with an annual income of less than Rs. 2 lakh per annum to archakas. Some archakas sought hereditary appointments in place of their deceased family heads who served as archakas.
They sought allotment of house sites and steps to check encroachment of temple lands.
Mr. Mallikarjuna Prasad said the grievance cell for archakas would be conducted every month as per the directions of the Endowments Commissioner. He assured steps to ensure prompt disbursal of salaries every month.
Superintendent of Endowments B. Sudhakar Reddy, Kadapa District Archaka Samakhya president I. Satyanarayana Sarma, secretary Satish Sarma and members Vijaya Kumar Bhattar and Sudhir Kumar and several archakas participated.
Grievance redressal for archakas will be conducted every month

CNet asks "Who needs middlemen?", and it will be very interesting to see if independent promotion can be more effective than the RIAA production-distribution monopoly.

Iran president still a force even as his era ends
Even without Mashaei on the ballot, Ahmadinejad has clout in other ways stemming from his policies funneling money and public works to long-neglected areas.
He could suddenly be transformed from scorned to courted by the front-runners, including a former nuclear negotiator, a top adviser for Khamenei and the mayor of Tehran, if they decide an endorsement from Ahmadinejad could bring in a potential voter windfall in the provinces
Or he could break away and start his own political movement, which could quickly become a serious force. Ahmadinejad cannot run this year because of term limits, but a comeback bid is possible as early as 2017.
The five-day registration period for candidates closes Saturday. The election overseers, known as the Guardian Council, will announce the handful of candidates on the ballot later this month. The list is expected to be weighted heavily toward establishment-friendly hopefuls. Reformists and liberal-leaning groups have been widely crushed and left leaderless after massive street protests following Ahmadinejad's disputed 2009 victory.
Ahmadinejad was the surprise winner in 2005 by portraying himself as a champion of the poor. In many ways, he has remained true to this identity even as he morphed from loyal foot soldier for the theocracy to an agitator who broke taboos and challenged the authority of Khamenei.
Those failed battles left Ahmadinejad politically humbled and openly derided by the presumed front-runners in the June election. But Ahmadinejad has weathered the storms in the hinterlands. For eight years, his political roadshow traveled to small towns and villages across Iran where many people say even local authorities had never visited.
His government redirected oil revenue into development projects and cash handouts in impoverished areas. His critics called it demagoguery and evidence of gross fiscal mismanagement, which is blamed for soaring prices and worsening the blows from international sanctions over Iran's nuclear program. Yet it also earned Ahmadinejad the devotion of millions outside Tehran and other major cities.
In a rare message to his eventual successor, Ahmadinejad said last week that government "subsidies belong to the people" and they should continue despite the shrinking resources under sanctions.
Ahmadinejad has offered no clear signals on his next moves. Any kind of political future, though, would almost certainly tap into the support built in rural areas and small cities such as Birjand, which had some of the highest reported turnout for Ahmadinejad in the past two elections.
"My husband would have never been able to buy a place to live in his lifetime without Ahmadinejad's support. God may prolong his life," said Razieh Esmaeili, 41, whose husband works in a bakery. Last year, they received an apartment in Birjand's Mehr housing development, part of a nationwide low-income project initiated under Ahmadinejad.
"I'll vote only for the candidate Ahmadinejad supports," she added.
In 2005, Ahmadinejad, then mayor of Tehran, reportedly took 88 percent of the votes in Birjand, his highest percentage in the country. In his re-election, Ahmadinejad still took about 70 percent of the votes, according to official results that have been dismissed by opposition groups as tainted with fraud.

Ideas for leftover Valentine's Day candy
Here are some ways to help you get creative with your surplus holiday candy.
Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 01:55 PM
I shudder to think how many Valentine's treats will come home in my third-grader's backpack today. He was quite irate when I told him that all he was only giving his classmates cards for Valentine's Day. No candy.
I don't ever remember candy being part of the Valentine's card exchange when I was a kid. Nowadays, some kids give out entire goody bags filled with a card, a bouncy ball, pencils, and, of course, candy. It drives me nuts.
I give my kids candy on Valentine's Day. My mom does, too (can't stop the grandmom). I don't need everyone else's mom giving it to them, too.
For all of us with more candy than we'd like to have in our homes tomorrow, here are some ideas.
Non-edible ideas
- GeekDad has a microwave experiment that allows you to measure the speed of light with chocolate that has melted in the microwave. Educational.
- Grab the Basics says to think ahead to St. Patrick's Day to use up your leftover conversation candy hearts. They suggest spray painting them all green and then using them to create shamrock decorations.
- eHow suggests that you shellac those conversation hearts and use them as decorations in ornamental vases, much like you would marbles.
Edible ideas
- Baking Bites has instructions on how to melt chopped up chocolate. If you have extra individually wrapped plain milk or dark chocolates (like Hersey Kisses or Dove hearts), you can melt them and make chocolate-covered strawberries, bananas or pretzels.
- Sweetly Serendipity has a recipe for Candy Bar Brownies. Any candy bars can be chopped up and put into these from-scratch brownies.
- Bake at 350 makes Conversation Heart Candy Bark with those leftover "you rock" and other hearts.

And 4GB file size limit (which is roughly 22 minutes of Full HD video) just in case you weren't already.
If you anticipate either limit being an issue, you might consider one of Panasonic's micro 4/3 cameras instead. Or a dedicated video camera.

Netcraft: Microsoft Closing In On Apache Web Server Lead 102
from the tortoise-and-the-other-tortoise dept.
How many of those sites are actual web servers and how many of those web servers are in a cluster serving a single site?
Most. The chart after the one this paid for M$ cheering post points to is a measure of "active" websites. Funny, M$ is 11% of that, and Apache is 52%. Yup, Apache is going to die any day now... any day.
Although a popular use of nginx is as a reverse proxy. We don't have any nginx hosted websites here, but Netcraft thinks they are all nginx because they only get to find out what the reverse proxy is running. In reality the actual webservers themselves are mostly Apache (with a couple of specialist things, like an embedded Jetty instance). But to anyone outside it looks like nginx.

Mexico's drug war is a failure. Ciudad Juarez, Laura Carlsen points out, is the epicenter of this failure.
The two most populous countries in the world have a great trade relationship. But, as columnist Conn Hallinan explains, they are also on the verge of war.
Like Hamlet, Shakespeare's conflicted Prince of Denmark, China was caught between conflicting currents in Copenhagen. Its failure to manage these challenges, argues columnist Walden Bello, led to its biggest diplomatic debacle in years.

The president's goals in escalating the war in Afghanistan are deeply flawed. Just ask the Russians.
The negotiators in Copenhagen are likely to address only half the story, argues columnist Walden Bello.

12.12.08 - Unbeaten WBA heavyweight champion in recess Ruslan Chagaev (24-0-1, 17 KOs) will return on February 7th to face undefeated Carl Davis Drumond (26-0, 20 KOs) At the StadtHalle in Rostock, Germany..
It will be Chagaev's first fight back following an Achilles tendon injury that required surgery and a lengthy rehab. Against the #9 rated Drumond, Chagaev wants to put his form and ring-sense to the test before the upcoming duel against the 'Russian Giant' Nikolai Valuev. "Ruslan Chagaev is the man in the heavyweight for the year 2009," stated Universum promoter Klaus-Peter Kohl. "After he had so many bad breaks health-wise last year, he will defeat Valuev for the second time and again show what a great boxer he is. Ruslan owns the future, because he is as a world champion barely 30 years old, the most complete heavyweight and as a southpaw is very difficult to box."
Ten days before his highly anticipated second fight against the seven-foot Valuev in early July, Chagaev had to pull out due to a Achilles tendon tear in the left foot. The WBA has stipulated that Chagaev must face Valuev no later than June 26th. Chagaev says after his fight against the "interim champion" Valuev (Valuev is actually the WBA champion, while Chagaev is champion is recess), he will continue his goal to capture all four championship belts to become the undisputed champion.

World champion Ina Menzer defends her belts against Esther Schouten
Menzer: "Everyone who understands boxing will be able to enjoy a great fight. With Esther Schouten I expect an opponent who can box at a very technically high level."
Schouten: "During my illness my big dream was to get back into the ring and now I can even return to box for a world championship."
A fascinating female clash will take place on January 17 at the Burg-Waechter Castello in Dusseldorf when local favorite and WIBF/WBC featherweight champion Ina Menzer (22-0, 9 KOs) defends against former champion Esther Schouten (22-4-1, 11 KOs). For Schouten, it will be her fifth fight back since having her career derailed for cancer treatment.
In her last fight in Rostock on November 22, the Universum championess Ina Menzer defeated her Brazilian opponent Adriana Salles by unanimous decision. Menzer and Schouten met for the first time on Wednesday at a press conference in Dusseldorf.
"It's always special to box in my hometown," said Menzer. "The year 2008 couldn't have gone better for me, nice victories in live ZDF fights, another championship belt, and it should continue in 2009 also. With Esther Schouten I expect an opponent who can box at a very technically high level. Everyone who understands boxing will be able to enjoy a great fight, but I do believe that I'll win - in the worst case on points!"
Schouten, who was WIBF super bantamweight champion from 2002-2005, has won four straight since returning to the ring in March after a long break. She will work with new trainer Dirk Dzemski in Magdeburg. "With Ina Menzer, I have a technically good and especially tough boxer to challenge," commented Schouten. "This will be a huge fight with a great atmosphere. In my comeback I have four victories since March of this year and am once again at my old performance level following my treatment for lymph gland cancer which included chemo- and radiological therapy. During my illness my big dream was to get back into the ring and now I can even return to box for a world championship. I am very happy, highly motivated and have nothing to lose - I have already fought for my life and won. The main thing is I have fun. With my sports successes, I want to give others who have similar diseases courage and motivate them. I am a positive person and believe that I'll win this fight. If I didn't believe I would, I wouldn't climb into the ring!"
Even the trainers are already full of anticipation for this highlight in women's boxing.
"Ina has had a great year behind her," said Michael Timm. "She has been continually improved and, of course, that will continue in 2009. We will work very hard over the holidays to prepare for Esther Schouten, who was already a world champion in a lower division for three years."
"I've trained Esther since June this year" stated Dirk Dzemski. "She's a very experienced boxer, but sometimes you need to rein in her over-motivation. Esther has already achieved a lot and in the fight against Ina Menzer she wants to make her dream a reality. She wants the world title back!"
Additional bouts for this "Universum Champions Night" card will be announced. The ZDF will broadcast the fight Menzer vs. Schouten. The highligths of the fights can be seen on after the fight on http://www.boxing.de/en/videos/videos.html
Zsolt Erdei vs. Yuri Barashian and Denis Inkin vs. Karoly Balzsay
The boxing hotbed of Magdeburg, Germany, will open 2009 in a big way when two world championship fights headline the first "Universum Champions Night" of the year at Bördelandhalle on January 10th. Unbeaten WBO world light heavyweight champion Zsolt "Firebird" Erdei (29-0, 17 KOs) will defend against Ukrainian contender Yuri Barashian (25-4, 17 KOs).
At today's press conference at the Maritim Hotel Magdeburg, Zsolt Erdei stated, "I was often in Magdeburg as a spectator, but now I can finally enter the ring. I am especially glad about the knowledgeable boxing fans here. Also many fans can head over here from Hungary, it's not so far away. With Yuri Barashian I have a strong opponent who has has shown his qualities against Thomas Ulrich. There will certainly be a "tough nut" that I have to crack!"
"We've already studied Barashian," Erdei's trainer Fritz Sdunek said. "He is cool, smart and dangerous. But, we'll see how he is with the speed of Zsolt. It is certainly a very exciting fight!"
In the second world championship clash of the night WBO super middleweight world champion Denis Inkin (34-0, 24 KOs) faces his stall colleague and WBO #1 rated Karoly Balzsay (19-0, 14 KOs). This eagerly awaited duel between the two unbeatens was originally slated as an interim championship bout at the end of September, but had to be cancelled after Balzsay suffered a cut in training. Inkin defeated replacement opponent Fulgencio Zuniga for the full WBO champion after reigning champion Joe Calzaghe stepped down.
"The cancellation was very sad for me," said Karoly Balzsay today. "Of course, I'm happy that I have received a chance at the championship fight so quickly after my injury - yes, I'm finally #1 WBO and so the mandatory challenger. Denis Inkinen is a strong opponent - he is the champion. It's nice that both Zsolt Erdei and I can enter the ring at an event. I can learn a great deal from him and he supports me during the preparation!"
"This is a very close match," said Sdunek, who trains Balzsay as well as Erdei, "but I think that Karoly has very good chances. He has recently matured very much as a boxer, he has strong nerves and those dynamics can decide the fight."
Inkin's trainer Magomed Schaburow was under the weather and did not attend the press conference. However, he did speak via phone hookup. "Two hard punchers will meet," he commented, "but I just hope that both leave the ring healthy and the better one wins. It is in every case a very tough fight for both."

Big Data is better than a sharp stick in the eye. I can say this with great authority, since I missed the first half of Strata+Hadoop World 2015 in San Jose because of the latter. But eye injuries have never kept me offline for long, and I was able to follow online with what I didn't see in person. But I was very happy to make it in to the show on Friday, and even got a seat at about row 6 in the main hall for the keynotes. Read More »
Big Data is better than a sharp stick in the eye
Unlock The Value of Big Data with Cisco Unified Computing System
Big Data is not just about gathering tons of data, the digital exhaust from the internet, social media, and customer records. The real value is in being able to analyze the data to gain a desired business outcome.
Those of us who follow the Big Data market closely never lack for something new to talk about. There is always a story about how a business is using Big Data in a different way or about some new breakthrough that has been achieved in the expansive big data ecosystem. The good news for all of us is, we have clearly only scratched the surface of the Big Data opportunity!
With the increasing momentum of the Internet of Everything (IoE) market transition, there will be 50 billion devices connected to the Internet by 2020—just five years from now. As billions of new people, processes, and things become connected, each connection will become a source of potentially powerful data to businesses and the public sector. Organizations who can unlock the intelligence in this data can create new sources of competitive advantage, not just from more data but from better access to better data.
What we haven't heard about – yet—are examples of enterprises that are applying the power of this data pervasively in their organizations: giving them a competitive edge in marketing, supply chain, manufacturing, human resources, customer support, and many more departments. The enterprise that can apply the power of Big Data throughout their organization can create multiple and simultaneous sources of ongoing innovation—each one a constantly renewable or perpetual competitive edge. Looking forward, the companies that can accomplish this will be the ones setting the pace for the competition to follow.
Cisco has been working on making this vision of pervasive use of Big Data within enterprises a reality. We'd like to share this vision with you in an upcoming blog series and executive Webcast entitled, 'Unlock Your Competitive Edge with Cisco Big Data Solutions', that will air on October 21st at 9:00 AM PT.
I have the honor of kicking off the multi-part blog series today. Each blog will focus on a specific Cisco solution our customers can utilize to unlock the power of their big data – enterprise-wide– to deliver a competitive edge to our customers. I'm going to start the discussion by highlighting the infrastructure implications for Big Data in the internet of Everything (IoE) era and focus on Cisco Unified Computing System initially.
Enterprises who want to make strategic use of data throughout their organizations will need to take advantage of the power of all types of data. As IoE increasingly takes root, organizations will be able to access data from virtually anywhere in their value chain. No longer restricted to small sets of structured, historical data, they'll have more comprehensive and even real-time data including video surveillance information, social media output, and sensor data that allow them to monitor behavior, performance, and preferences. These are just a few examples, but they underscore the fact that not all data is created equally. Real-time data coming in from a sensor may only be valuable for minutes, or even seconds – so it is critical to be able to act on that intelligence as quickly as possible. From an infrastructure standpoint, that means enterprises must be able to connect the computing resource as closely as possible to the many sources and users of data. At the same time, historical data will also continue to be critical to Big Data analytics.
Cisco encourages our customers to take a long-term view—and select a Big Data infrastructure that is distributed, and designed for high scalability, management automation, outstanding performance, low TCO, and the comprehensive, security approach needed for the IoE era. And that infrastructure must be open—because there is tremendous innovation going on in this industry, and enterprises will want to be able to take full advantage of it.
One of the foundational elements of our Big Data infrastructure is the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS). UCS integrated infrastructure uniquely combines server, network and storage access and has recently claimed the #1, x86 blade server market share position in the Americas. It's this same innovation that propelled us to the leading blade market share position that we are directly applying to Big Data workloads. With its highly efficient infrastructure, UCS lets enterprises manage up to 10,000 UCS servers as if they were a single pool of resources, so they can support the largest data clusters.
Because enterprises will ultimately need to be able to capture intelligence from both data at rest in the data center and data at the edge of the network, Cisco's broad portfolio of UCS systems gives our customers the flexibility to process data where it makes the most sense. For instance, our UCS 240 rack system has been extremely popular for Hadoop-based Big Data deployments at the data center core. And Cisco's recently introduced UCS Mini is designed to process data at the edge of the network.
Because the entire UCS portfolio utilizes the same unified architecture, enterprises can choose the right compute configuration for the workload, with the advantage of being able to use the same powerful management and orchestration tools to speed deployment, maximize availability, and significantly lower your operating expenses. Being able to leverage UCS Manager and Service Profiles, Unified Fabric and SingleConnect Technology, our Virtual interface card technology, and industry leading performance really set Cisco apart from our competition.
So, please consider this just an introduction to the first component of Cisco's "bigger", big data story. To hear more, please make plans to attend our upcoming webcast entitled, 'Unlock Your Competitive Edge With Cisco Big Data Solutions' on October 21st.
Every Tuesday and Thursday from now until October 21st, we'll post another blog in the series to provide you with additional details of Cisco's full line of products, solutions and services.

Cisco UCS and ACI Infrastructure Innovations for Big Data at Hadoop Summit
Big Data remains one of the hottest topics in the industry due to the actual dollar value that businesses are deriving from making sense from tons of structured and unstructured data. Virtually every field is leveraging a data-driven strategy as people, process, data and things are increasing being connected (Internet of Everything). New tools and techniques are being developed that can mine vast stores of data to inform decision making in ways that were previously unimagined. The fact that we can derive more knowledge by joining related information and recognizing correlations can inform and enrich numerous aspects of every day life. There's a good reason why Big Data is so hot!
This year at Hadoop Summit, Cisco invites you to learn how to unlock the value of Big Data. Unprecedented data creation opens the door to responsive applications and emerging analytics techniques and businesses need a better way to analyze data. Cisco will be showcasing Infrastructure Innovations from both Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) and Cisco Applications Centric Infrastructure (ACI). Cisco's solution for deploying big data applications can help customers make informed decisions, act quickly, and achieve better business outcomes.
Cisco is partnering with leading software providers to offer a comprehensive infrastructure and management solution, based on Cisco UCS, to support our customers' big data initiatives. Taking advantage of Cisco UCS's Fabric based infrastructure, Cisco can apply significant advantage to big data workloads.

How Data Virtualization Helps Data Scientists
By now it is clear that big data analytics opens the door to unprecedented analytic opportunities for business innovation, customer retention and profit growth. However, a shortage of data scientists is creating a bottleneck as organizations move from early big data experiments into larger scale adoption. This constraint limits big data analytics and the positive business outcomes that could be achieved.
It's All About the Data
As every data scientist will tell you, the key to analytics is data. The more data the better, including big data as well as the myriad other data sources both in the enterprise and across the cloud. But accessing and massaging this data, in advance of data modeling and statistical analysis, typically consumes 50% or more of any new analytic development effort.
• What would happen if we could simplify the data aspect of the work?
• Would that free up data scientists to spend more time on analysis?
• Would it open the door for non-data scientists to contribute to analytic projects?
SQL is the key. Because of its ease and power, it has been the predominant method for accessing and massaging data for the past 30 years. Nearly all non-data scientists in IT can use SQL to access and massage data, but very few know MapReduce, the traditional language used to access data from Hadoop sources.
How Data Virtualization Helps
"We have a multitude of users…from BI to operational reporting, they are constantly coming to us requesting access to one server or another…we now have that one central place to say 'you already have access to it' and they immediately have access rather than having to grant access outside of the tool" -Jason Hull, Comcast
Data virtualization offerings, like Cisco's, can help organizations bridge this gap and accelerate their big data analytics efforts. Cisco was the first data virtualization vendor to support Hadoop integration with its June 2011 release. This standardized SQL approach augments specialized MapReduce coding of Hadoop queries. By simplifying access to Hadoop data, organizations could for the first time use SQL to include big data sources, as well as enterprise, cloud and other data sources, in their analytics.
In February 2012, Cisco became the first data virtualization vendor to enable MapReduce programs to easily query virtualized data sources, on-demand with high performance. This allowed enterprises to extend MapReduce analyses beyond Hadoop stores to include diverse enterprise data previously integrated by the Cisco Information Server.
In 2013, Cisco maintained its big data integration leadership with updates of its support for Hive access to the leading Hadoop distributions including Apache Hadoop, Cloudera Distribution (CDH) and Hortonworks (HDP). In addition, Cisco now also supports access to Hadoop through HiveServer2 and Cloudera CDH through Impala.
Others, beyond Cisco, recognize this beneficial trend. In fact, Rick van der Lans, noted Data Virtualization expert and author, recently blogged on future developments in this area in Convergence of Data Virtualization and SQL-on-Hadoop Engines.
So if your organization's big data efforts are slowed by a shortage of data scientists, consider data virtualization as a way to break the bottleneck.

Insanity for Tennis Conditioning
There might be more threads on the Insanity home workout already, but I thought I would just start one with my opinions for anyone who has thought about doing the workout. First, about me, I am 24 years old, 6'1" and i weighed about 204 pounds when i started insanity. I was sucking wind on the tennis court, and i didnt start insanity specifically for tennis conditioning. I did insanity to lose weight, but my roommate and I hit the courts the other day and I felt a hundred times better this time around. That day we went and hit I had only done 2 weeks of the Insanity workout and it had helped that much. I sincerely think that my stamina and new found endurance helped me play much better and push some points back on my opponent. I am happy to answer any questions people might have about Insanity, and I just wanted to give my two cents. Thanks everyone.
Hope is not a strategy.

It really wasn't a mechanical marvel: this was no ground-breaking Citroen DS-type event. But it's hard to deny that it's bloody pretty to behold. Some cars just look right. It can all be picked out and distilled down to proportions, the golden mean and ultimately, to mathematics, but I'm not the guy to do it.

Unaffordable housing is said to be the key reason for lack of demand and oversupply in key Indian metros. Do you agree?
There are larger issues. Not just the developers, the entire eco-system is to blame. Land and infrastructure are like the building blocks of affordable housing. Land prices will always be high in places where infrastructure is already developed, leading to significantly high starting input cost for the developer. So, land cost in cities like Mumbai and the National Capital Region (NCR -- Delhi and Gurgaon) could form over 50% of the total project cost. And where infrastructure is not developed, there are very few takers, thus raising questions on viability. It's a chicken-or-egg conundrum.
Both central and state governments have not taken this proactively and focused on building infrastructure in a greenfield way. Infrastructure has always played catch-up with urbanisation and development. The residential market would pick up if you have a commercial catchment area in the vicinity. So development of commercial catchments is crucial for micro markets to pick up.
But residential prices are unaffordable even in far-off suburbs with little or no infrastructure.
That has also got to do with scarcity of resources (primarily land). The situation is more severe in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region because of its geography. However, if you look at the NCR, it has expanded on all sides and offers housing at all price points. Similarly in Chennai and Bangalore. While it may not be completely affordable, one can possibly look at owning a flat there by stretching (finances) a bit.
From a developer's perspective, the input cost is so high that it makes the starting point unviable or unaffordable for the realtor as well. For a developer, land is inventory and an essential resource for a long-term play of say 10-15 years or more. This means, land prices have already seen significant appreciation at places where a common man would actually think of buying and residing. That's because the developer is thinking 5-7 years ahead and focuses on acquiring land that may be uninhabitable at present. So, acquisition of land and development always plays catch-up, and land prices are ahead of the curve, which could make housing unaffordable.
Also, income levels of potential home buyers haven't kept pace with the extent of increase in realty rates in the last 3-5 years.
That's correct. Salary levels on an average would have gone up marginally when compared to overall inflation. I'd say it's a negative growth situation. Now, consider that scenario vis-a-vis a developer's input cost. That's increasing on-year too. See, the primary market, which is the key driver for affordability, is seeing an increase of 10-20% every year. Salary levels certainly haven't kept pace with it. That definitely is a key challenge.
According to Apnapaisa.com estimates, a monthly income of over Rs1.5 lakh is required to be able to buy a flat worth Rs1 crore through a home loan.
Just 1% of households, or 24-25 crore households, earn Rs12.5 lakh and above annually. Let's say 1% out of those households earn more than Rs12.5 lakh annually. So, we get a figure of 25 lakh households. If we increase the Rs12.5 lakh annual income limit to say Rs15-20 lakh, there could be just about 10-15 lakh households in top four or five metros that can afford an apartment worth Rs1 crore. When people who can afford homes are concentrated in certain geographies, prices in such markets would shoot up. And wherever developers build affordable housing, people living there do not have the means to buy such projects. It's a vicious circle.
Housing project delivery delays have become common everywhere.
From a buyer's perspective, delay in project execution actually gives more returns. By making a booking and not paying for that due to the project delay, I actually get an appreciation on the investment. This anomaly needs to be corrected at the macro level.
Only property investors might reap higher returns. But end-users incur rental and EMI (equated monthly instalment) expenses while fighting inflation.
Yes, end-users are significantly impacted. Unfortunately, majority of buyers are not end-users. It's a vicious circle. Investors are indifferent to project delays as they help them get better appreciation. According to quarterly home registration data, a large proportion of transactions is secondary sales. In any micro market, if the secondary rates are Rs1,000 to Rs1,500 per square foot lower than what the developer is offering, that's a clear sign of an overheated market, an investor-driven market.
But investors continue to drive the housing market, giving the developer initial cash flow.
There are two types of investors. One, the business community with an element of unaccounted surplus being parked in realty. The government is trying to control them by imposing TDS (tax deducted at source) of 1% on an amount of Rs50 lakh and more. Two, a significant chunk of investment is made by white collar executives, especially in the metro micro markets. This class of investors is putting its surplus income in a second or third home. They don't have exit pressure. That again means that prices will not come down significantly.

Michael Owen has opened new contract talks at Newcastle United.
The England ace's current deal runs out at the end of next season and he has been told by Toon owner Mike Ashley to take a pay cut on his current £100,000-a-week wages.
That left Newcastle fans fearing he would leave but the former Liverpool hitman said last night: "We've just opened contract talks, we are talking.
"I've got this season left regardless and we're working on a deal to stay longer.
"There'll probably be news in a month or two.
"This last year I played fully without hiccups to my knee. That's well behind me now."

Slide Show: Men's Fashion Gets Frightening

What in the hell is happening with men's fashion? Yes, there are some designers out there doing marvelous and innovative things, but there is also just a lot of "huh" going around. After a tour of the Parisian collections last week the mood for men seems particularly confused. Bernhard Willhelm threw down a gauntlet of kooky concoctions, Givenchy took "putting a bird on it" to a completely new level, and one look from Henrik Vibskov appears they stole it from a homeless gentleman.<...
