Death on Credit
|This article is written like a personal reflection or opinion essay that states the Wikipedia editor's particular feelings about a topic, rather than the opinions of experts. (December 2010)
|Louis-Ferdinand Céline
|Original title
|Mort à crédit
|John H. P. Marks (1938), Ralph Manheim (1966)
Publication date
Death on Credit (French: Mort à crédit, US translation: Death on the Installment Plan) is a novel by author Louis-Ferdinand Céline, published in 1936. The most common, and generally most respected English translation is Ralph Manheim's.[citation needed]
In Death on Credit, Ferdinand, Céline's alter ego, is a doctor in Paris, treating the poor who seldom pay him but take every advantage of his availability. The action is not continuous but goes back in time to earlier memories and often moves into fantasy, especially in Ferdinand's sexual escapades; the style becomes deliberately rougher and sentences disintegrate to catch the flavour of the teeming world of everyday Parisian tragedies, struggles to make a living, illness, venereal disease, the sordid stories of families whose destiny is governed by their own stupidity, malice, lust and greed.
Though at times off-putting due to its idiosyncrasies and apparent redundancies, the novel is considered among many of Céline's fans as his most accomplished work. It offers a profound vision of the nature of individual human existence, rooted in suffering and inertia. The anti-heroic genius of Ferdinand's search for a livable life in 20th century Paris forms a direct literary metaphor for modern humanity: to search and search again for happiness and meaning in a complex world and to often come up empty. Or more precisely, to find words, stories, experiences, and ideas that stretch the boundaries of consciousness while providing little or no structure with which to assign any meaning to life as a whole. Life becomes merely a subjective personal experience in the midst of madness and savagery. It is considered beautiful in itself but with overtones of profound suffering and a lack of moral prerogatives, always at the mercy of the strange human forces that are both within and without. To Céline, we become our own history and our own suffering. As such we live, accumulating the pain, confusion, and death that life allows us to have on installment.
Cultural references[edit]
The novel is referenced in the autobiographical first chapter of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five as well as Anthony Swofford's Jarhead.
In the 1998 film Wild Things, the character of Suzie Marie Toller (Neve Campbell) is encountered by the police while reading a paperback edition of Death on the Installment Plan—a subtle indication of the attitude of the character and her role in the plot.

The foie gras corn dog is an upscale wiener to say the least. The carnival food gets an upscale update with foie gras sausage (made of chicken breast, foie gras and pork fat back in lamb casing) and buttermilk batter. It's finished with cornichon relish, housemade cognac mustard and espelette pepper. The creator, executive chef John Critchley of Urbana restaurant, refers to it as a beginner's foie gras experience.
If you're not as keen on foie gras, you could always try these corn dog muffins instead.

Exercise Science
Kent Brown, Ph.D., Chair
Miles 320, Phone 502.272.8391, firstname.lastname@example.com
The Exercise Science Program prepares students to advocate for community wellness; to pursue careers and graduate school opportunities in the healthcare, fitness and wellness; and to develop lifetime awareness of healthy living. The curriculum emphasizes the role of the exercise specialist in the prevention of disease through physical activity and health awareness. Students completing the Exercise Science curriculum will be prepared to sit for a number of external certification examinations in the fitness and wellness fields, including personal training, strength and conditioning, and as an exercise specialist. The major is also an option for pre-professional preparation for careers in physical therapy, nursing, respiratory therapy, athletic training, occupational therapy, and medicine. Exercise science is the study of how the human body responds to exercise and movement. The field emphasizes concepts of health, wellness and fitness, and the scientific basis of sports performance. Students in the exercise science program will take courses in exercise physiology, kinesiology, exercise testing and prescription, nutrition, anatomy and physiology, chemistry, and physics. The Mission of the Exercise Science Department is for students, faculty and graduates to advocate for healthy living, wellness and the prevention of disease related to physical inactivity and personal health decisions. Rooted in Catholic traditions of excellence in education and principles of social justice, the Department emphasizes outreach and service to all individuals of varying backgrounds, ages, needs and abilities to promote healthy lifestyles, wellness and fitness.
Program Outcomes
The goals of the Bellarmine University Exercise Science Department are to prepare students to:
- Prevent and treat disease related to physical inactivity and poor nutrition.
- Promote health, wellness, fitness and quality of life for everyone.
- Enhance human performance and athletic performance across the lifespan.
- Promote personal responsibility toward wellness and champion proactive lifestyles to improve the body, mind and spirit of the individual for life.
- Advocate for healthy lifestyle and wellness in the community, especially for those that are underserved and marginalized.
- Pursue graduate studies and careers in healthcare, fitness and wellness.
Pre-Medical/Pre-Physical Therapy Studies
Pre-professional education for dentistry, osteopathic, podiatric, veterinary, traditional medicine, and physical therapy can be designed in the Exercise Science program of study.

First of all, I 100% agree with this:"I have a ton of respect for H2W, purchase & own his products, and have reached out numerous times to him for tech support with great results." Ken has been my go-to for all things carby for years and looses no points at all. I appreciate you, Ken, for taking the time to chime in.
Now to you, Mr. JRod152.
You know, I always try to assist others here as much as I can with my (limited) experience and (sometimes lack of) wisdom. You sir have gone above the call of duty. Rottweiler owes you a big hug -- manly hug, that is. I suggest Rottweiler, with your permission, uses your pictures on their website to convince dumkopfs like myself to save up their pennies and invest. Seriously! Your pictures totally convinced me that I NEED this system.
CPRFAB: Be sure do remember JRod152's good deed.
Ken, do I need to rejet the system if I use the Rottweiler? If yes, do you have kit ready?
And lastly, I think, just judging by the hairiness, that we may be related.
Something, something, something ... in latin.

Measuring welfare effects in models with random coefficients
In economic research, it is often important to express the marginal value of a variable in monetary terms. This marginal monetary value is the ratio of two partial derivatives of the conditional indirect utility function, which reduces to the ratio of two coefficients if the utility function is linear. Based on the overwhelming evidence of taste differences among people, random coefficient models have become increasingly more popular in recent years. In random coefficient models, the marginal monetary value is the ratio of two random coefficients and is thus random itself. In this paper, we study the distribution of this ratio and particularly the consequences of different distributional assumptions about the coefficients. It is shown both analytically and empirically that important characteristics of the distribution of the marginal monetary value may be sensitive to the distributional assumptions about the random coefficients. The median, however, is much less sensitive than the mean. The authors would like to thank Ton Steerneman for stimulating discussions and helpful comments.

05 December 2013 17:44 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--The European November monoethylene glycol (MEG) contract price is expected to be concluded alongside an initial December contract, producers said on Thursday.
"Certainly it will be a combined settlement... We don't agree with the November price so we need to recuperate in the December price," a producer said.
Discussions have begun, and for December one seller is seeking €40/tonne ($54/tonne) over the initial November price of €949/tonne FD (free delivered) NWE (northwest Europe).
Sellers refused to follow the initial November agreement that was settled mid-November at a decrease of €36/tonne from October, because they saw it as an excessively low price.
It is unlikely there will be a new, stand-alone November price, so producers are seeking compensation in December.
"Settling the first settlement all over again at a different number is unheard of in MEG," a second producer said.
Buyers were also dissatisfied with the initial November figure because at the time, spot prices had dropped and margins in downstream polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were dire. They too, will be looking for compensation.
Spot prices may have turned a corner, with a deal confirmed at €752.50/tonne FOB (free on board) Antwerp, taking the high so far this week, to mid-November levels.
The upstream ethylene contract also went up from November to December.
($1 = €0.74)

The "Re-turned"-concepts elevates leftover wood from being merely an ignored piece of trash to becoming a desired piece of feel-good woodcraft. A 100% recycled item, perfect as a housewarming-gift to someone with a big heart for Mother Nature.
Perhaps they were once the part of a loving household as a supportive table-leg or an armrest. Perhaps they never made it from their roots in the woods and into a finished piece of furniture, but got cut off somewhere along the way. Either way, they're given a new shot at life as a perfect starting point for a "Re-turned"-bird.

"The concept of observations of daily living is an important and missing link in the health data panorama."—Program Director Patricia Brennan, RN, PhD, FAAN, FACMI
Project HealthDesign: Rethinking the Power and Potential of Personal Health Records
An RWJF National Program
Dates of Program: February 2006 through June 2014
Description: The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) launched Project HealthDesign: Rethinking the Power and Potential of Personal Health Records in 2006 to stimulate innovation in personal health information technology. The $9.4 million program was managed by a research team at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Nursing led by Patricia Flatley Brennan, RN, PhD, FAAN, FACMI.
Project HealthDesign awarded two rounds of funding.
"By putting consumers at the center of the design process, we have demonstrated a powerful vision of how personal health records and new technologies can empower people to better manage their health and work together with their providers to get the care they need."—RWJF President and CEO Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, MBA
Key Findings
A person's own observations of daily living (ODLs) can add significant depth and dimension to personal health records, giving physicians and other providers a more robust picture of a patient's health, leading to improved clinical decision-making and saved lives.
Advances in consumer technologies such as smartphones and wearable fitness devices make it possible for individual consumers to have more control over their personal health records than ever before, opening the way for them to become more directly engaged in their health.
Having access to their personal health information and control over it seemed to be even more important to patients than privacy.
Despite the opportunities for greater consumer control and engagement provided by new technologies, technical, legal, regulatory, and institutional barriers hinder widespread adoption of those capabilities.

Irish Linen: A Nuala Anne McGrail Novel (Nuala Anne McGrail Novels) : The perils of wartime add special urgency to the latest mysteries being investigated by Nuala Anne McGrail. More than a little fey, Nuala has a well-deserved reputation for getting to the bottom of even the most tangled intrigues, even when they may be taking place on the other side of the world. Desmond Doolin, an idealistic young man from the McGrail's West Side Chicago neighborhood, has gone missing in Iraq. The US government denies any knowledge of his whereabouts, and his grieving family has all but written him off as dead. But Nuala is convinced that there's more to the story - and she won't stop asking questions until she finds out what has really become of Desmond, one way or another.

Julian Sanchez talked about the importance of outside views to the Obama administration's oversight of the National Security Agency's (NSA) electronic surveillance practices. The previous week the President's Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies gave 46 recommendations about NSA programs and a federal judge ruled that certain types of the NSA's collection practices were "likely unconstitutional." Mr. Sanchez responded to a video clip of President Obama's press conference the previous day. He also responded to telephone calls and electronic communications.
The program concluded with a video clip from the C-SPAN's Local Content Vehicles (LCVs) stop on their "2013 LCV Cities Tour" in Dayton, Ohio. close

Delaware courthouse gunman was ex-father-in-law
Shavack, the police spokesman, said Matusiewicz used a .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol in Monday's shooting, but that he did not know the make and model or whether it could have been the same gun listed in Matusiewicz's bankruptcy filing.
Bill Heriot, a plaintiff in a business dispute that was scheduled for trial Monday, said he was waiting to enter the courthouse when he saw the gunman pull out a pistol and fire a single shot at each of the two women. After the shooting stopped, Heriot said he knelt down beside the first woman who was shot.
"I turned her over and unbuttoned her coat. I saw a single bullet hole in the center of her chest," Heriot said. "I held her hand, told her it was going to be all right. Her pupils dilated. She turned pale and passed away."

+ - Supervolcano Drilling Plan Gets Go-Ahead->
Submitted by sciencehabit
sciencehabit writes: A project to drill deep into the heart of a "supervolcano" in southern Italy has finally received the green light, despite claims that the drilling would put the population of Naples at risk of small earthquakes or an explosion. Yesterday, Italian news agency ANSA quoted project coordinator Giuseppe De Natale of Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology as saying that the office of Naples mayor Luigi de Magistris has approved the drilling of a pilot hole 500 meters deep.

Evacuees try to return, with mixed results
Carrying a bag with his father-in-law's thyroid medication inside, Johnny Hidalgo resolutely walked across a National Guard checkpoint on Valley Center Road on Wednesday.
"They said that if I walk across they will not follow me, but I cannot drive my car across," Hidalgo said. "I would try to run it in my car, but they got machine guns."
Like Hidalgo, many of the 300,000 evacuees throughout North County started to head home Wednesday as some evacuation orders were lifted. As of Wednesday night, mandatory evacuation orders were lifted in all of Del Mar and Solana Beach and in parts of Escondido, Poway, Rancho Bernardo and Encinitas.
But many residents were met with uniformed National Guard troops who stopped them from entering neighborhoods where officials said mandatory evacuations had not yet been lifted.
Deputy Steve McNamara of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department said residents should not assume that because conditions have improved that they can simply return home.
"You've got utilities down," McNamara said. "You've got hot spots, especially in the affected areas, that could still flare up again if the wind shifts. If people are allowed back into their neighborhoods too soon, we might have to re-evacuate them, and we don't want to do that."
The freeways were a tempting access point for some Wednesday.
There were reports of Rancho Bernardo homeowners parking their vehicles on Interstate 15 to look at their homes or to hike into their neighborhoods.
Eric Newbury, a spokesman for the California Highway Patrol, said the agency would write a ticket for any car parked for more than four hours on the side of the road. He said people who fail to obey direct orders from officers could be arrested. Sheriff Bill Kolender said Wednesday afternoon that there had been no arrests.
"If people try to sneak back into an area that's restricted, then that is a problem," Newbury said.
Some areas seem better situated for sneaking in than others.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the winding roads of Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch had a scattering of residents who used little-known roads that were not under the watchful eye of the National Guard.
Sandra Popescu and her husband, Val, managed to reach their intact Rancho Santa Fe home on Zumaque Street despite National Guard checkpoints on all the main roads leading into Rancho Santa Fe.
"There are a lot of little back roads you can take, if you know the area," Sandra Popescu said.
The family discovered that the fire destroyed an RV and a trailer parked next to its detached garage, but otherwise spared its recently remodeled home, which has a sweeping view of the San Dieguito River Valley.
"We just feel really lucky today," Popescu said as firefighters doused a row of trees with burn marks halfway up their trunks.
Walking across the street to see a neighbor's home that burned to the ground, Popescu said she understands the desire to return.
"People, they just want to know, what did they lose?" she said.

22 September 2010 22:05 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--The American Chemistry Council (ACC) has added major chemical producers LyondellBasell and Braskem to its list of member companies, the trade group said on Wednesday.
In addition, LyondellBasell CEO Jim Gallogly and Braskem PP (polypropylene) Americas senior vice president Bruce Rubin were appointed to the ACC's board of directors, the group said.
"The next few years hold both opportunities and challenges for the US chemical industry," Gallogly said in a statement. "ACC membership allows us to work as a collective and constructive partner on public policy to promote a favourable business climate."
Meanwhile, Braskem's Rubin said that the ACC offered "innovative approaches" to a number of complex issues.
"Its collaborative approach has created a seat at the table on virtually every major policy initiative," Rubin said.
Brazil-based Braskem acquired the US chemicals business of Sunoco earlier this year.
The ACC also added Styron to its member list, it said. Styron is comprised of the styrenics businesses formerly owned by Dow Chemical.
In all, the ACC has added 18 new member companies in 2010, it said.
"Our expansion is a reflection of the results we are delivering to the entire value chain," said ACC chief executive Cal Dooley. "In this dynamic climate, ACC's growth continues to be driven by its refocused mission of creating business value through exceptional advocacy."

My LAST 50 QSO's
Thanks for dropping in on my QRZ entry. If I have just worked you, many thanks for the QSO, doubly so if I was using 3 watts! In the unlikely event that you wish to send me a card, there's no need to send any $$ but a self addressed envelope is appreciated. I am an LoTW user - I upload every day
Often operating QRP with 3 watts PEP (measured on an Alpha 4510 wattmeter) . My QRP QSO Map is further down the page, Currently 144 dxcc entities with 3w (inc. ZL, VK, VK9C, FT5Z, VU4, 9U, 9Q, KL7, XT, TN, 5X, FH, OA, VP8, CY0, W6/7, HC8 ) and 34 cq zones. I do not give my callsign as /QRP so please do not log me as such, /QRP is not a valid appendage to any callsign
This is a flag counter free zone. Anyone who disrupts the rhythm and flow of a pile-up to ask for the dx to visit his qrz page for a childish flag is effectively a qrm'er..
I enjoy chasing new dxcc on the bands with ssb and rtty, I'm not particularly ruthless in my approach compared to some, I do not request skeds, use dx nets nor use computer morse, so I probably miss out on a few as a result. I'm keen but not a 'get in their log at any cost' dx'er :-) If you do skeds, dx nets and/or computer morse, no problem, it's just not my 'thing' for dx chasing.
I favour 17m, 15m and 12m, with 285 dxcc on 17m, 294 on 15m, 274 on 12m & 276 on 10m. I have WAZ on 20,17,15, 12 and 10m...after finally getting Zone 2 on 12m!
I stumbled back into radio in Spring 2008 after nearly 20yrs away. I think I was simply 'googling' after some amateur radio discussion on one of the forums I run, and the desire suddenly came back. Having been an SWL for many years up to the early 1990's, It is always good to hear, and great to work, stations I have in my swl logs from my youth, although apologies if I make you feel a little old when I say I used to get home from school in the late 70's and listen to you on 15m
I create/run large internet communities for a living. www.birdforum.net and www.shipsnostalgia.com (plenty of ex merchant R/O's chat here) are just two of them.
Equipment currently used: Icom IC-7700 (since 2009 & no problems!), MW0JZE BB Hexbeam @ 14m (47ft). SPE Expert Amplifier (replaced Acom), Heil PR781, Yaesu G-1000DXC, Alpha 4510 Wattmeter, Kenwood HS-5 Headphones. On VHF/UHF Kenwood TS-2000 + RC-2000, Comet GP-9 for 2/70cm and a 40m efhw @ 40ft sloping to 30ft.
I'm a keen bird photographer (big lenses and backache!) and dabble a little in aviation photography

Written on: 20/07/2009 by candicecandy (1 review written)
stayed at Gundrys over the weekend, in our tourer, the site was quite busy had a large rally plus normal campers. However it was quiet, immaculately kept and maintained. Friendly staff showed us to our pitch, plenty of room, for car and awning. lovely view over the fields,. Gates are locked at night for security.
Showers and toilets were very clean, hotwater constant.
only 500 yards from a garden centre with lovely cream teas, 10 mins to the nearest pub which served good food and even better on 15 minute walk to Moors valley- ideal for the kids,. would definitely stay here again.

BET has announced that the fifth season of The Game will debut on Tuesday, January 10th at 10pm. The cable channel renewed the Tia Mowry Hardrict dramady last April for 22 new episodes.
The Game spent three seasons on The CW before being cancelled in May 2009. After having great success with reruns of the sitcom, BET picked up the show for 13 new episodes. They put it back into production in 2010, reuniting the old cast.
The BET audience continued to embrace The Game and season four debuted last January to 7.7 million viewers. That was the series' best performance ever and BET's most-watched telecast. The numbers fell quite a bit during the course of the season but ended with a very healthy 4.4 million viewers in March. The renewal came as no surprise.
BET has released their schedule plans for season five but, if they run one episode a week, fans will see new episodes through May.
What do you think? Will you be tuning in to see The Game Have you adjusted to the show's new tone? Do you miss the sitcom version?

God Will Not Have His Work Made Manifest By Cowards
Curated by Astri Swendsrud and Quinn Gomez-Heitzeberg
Now on view at www.lightandwiregallery.com
Opening party November 15, 2014.
This exhibition stems from a physical site of recurring alternative societies – The Hatchery, in Badger, CA. The work presented aims to examine the complexities and difficulties that occur when utopian social plans move from the idealized space of the proposal to actualization in the world.
The exhibition will take place in two phases – a day of performance at The Hatchery site, and a broader curation presented online at Light & Wire Gallery, November, 2014. Artists include Anthony Bodlović, Michael Carter, Akina Cox, Ronald Dzerigian, Finishing School, Zach Kleyn, Jason Kunke, Matt McAuliffe, Shana Moulton, Christina Ondrus, Sarah Petersen, Semi-Tropic Spiritualists, Joe Smith and Marnie Weber.
Join us for an opening party to celebrate the show on November 15, 2014 from 8-11pm at 3325 Division Street, Los Angeles 90065 (the back yard at Elephant).

Tag: Intersect360 Research
A new report from the Council on Competitiveness (Council) explores how US government investment in HPC benefits America's industrial and economic competitiveness. The Council on Competitiveness, with funding from the US Department of Energy, engaged Intersect360 Research to interview HPC-using US organizations across a wide range of industries. Over a six month period, Intersect360 conducted Read more…
<img style="float: left;" src="http://media2.hpcwire.com/hpcwire/atipa_cloud_150x.jpg" alt="" width="95″ height="88″ />Atipa Technologies, a small privately-held division of PC and server maker Microtech Computers, has just sold a $17 million, 3.4 petaflops supercomputer to the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL), a DOE government research lab. It's a coup – for Atipa, CPU accelerators and Xeon Phi.
Microsoft announces lastest release of Windows HPC Server; Intersect360 Research and the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences release survey on digital manufacturing in the US; and an IBM study shows that 10 Gigabit Ethernet outperforms InfiniBand and Gigabit Ethernet.
Tom Tabor, publisher of HPCwire and HPC in the Cloud, gives his perspective on SC'10, which just celebrated its 25th year with the biggest turnout yet.

Inside Wynwood's New, Private(ish) Nightclub, House
Mark Lowe says he has designed more than a dozen nightclubs, but none quite like his newest one. House, in what he calls the "SoWyn" area of Miami's Wynwood neighborhood, is like a large-scale, walkthrough art exhibition with a touch of raunch.
The first room in the club, which is meant to resemble a house, is full of blueish lights and chromeum plated bubbles pasted on the wall. A curtain of bubbles seems to be suspended mid-air. The DJ booth is a sliver of glass with keys projected on it. The bar top is filled with liquid goo.
In the main room, a big, light eye is projected toward the back. A seductive female voice booms through the PA. That's the House, he says. It talks to its guests.
And those guests have been vetted. No one can come into Lowe's House without applying for a key -- a membership card in reality. But he says the private-party model is not about exclusivity, but rather preservation.
"This space is so delicate," he says, "it really wasn't an option for me to do that."
Hear Lowe's explanation, and his vision for House as a sanctuary for the arts, here:

Moving from MySQL to Riak
April 23, 2014
Traditional database architectures were the default option for many pre-Internet use cases and architectures, such as MySQL, remain common today. However, these traditional solutions have limits that quickly become apparent as companies (and data) grow. Modern companies have changing priorities: downtime (planned or unplanned) is never acceptable; customers require a fast and unified experience; and data of all types is growing at unimaginable rates. Solutions such as Riak are designed to handle these shifting priorities.
Top Reasons to Move to Riak
- Zero Downtime: Distributed NoSQL solutions like Riak are designed for always-on availability. This means data is always read/write accessible and the system never goes down. Downtime, planned or unplanned, can make or break a customer experience.
- Ease-of-Scale: Traffic can be unpredictable. Businesses need to scale up quickly to handle peak loads during holidays or major releases, but then need to scale back down to save money. Riak makes it easy to add and remove any number of nodes as needed and automatically redistributes data across the cluster. Scaling up or down never needs to be a burden again.
- Flexible Data Model: From user generated data to machine-to-machine (M2M) activity, unstructured data is now commonplace. Riak can store any type of data easily with its simple key/value architecture.
- Global Data Locality: Every company is a global company and needs to provide consistent, low-latency experiences to everyone, regardless of physical location. Riak's multi-datacenter replication makes it easy to set up datacenters wherever users are, for both geo-data locality and maintaining active backups.
Users That Switched to Riak
Many top companies have already moved from relational architectures to Riak. Here's a look at a few that have made the switch.
Bump (acquired by Google)
Bump, acquired by Google in 2013, allows users to share contact information and photos by bumping two phones together. Bump uses Riak to store almost all of its user data: contacts, communications sent and received, handset information, social network OAuth tokens, etc. Bump moved from MySQL to Riak due to its operational qualities: "No longer will we have to do any master/slave song and dance, nor will we fret about performance, capacity, or scalability; if we need more, we'll just add nodes to the cluster." Learn more about their move in their case study.
Alert Logic
Alert Logic helps companies defend against security threats and address compliance mandates, such as PCI and HIPAA. Alert Logic switched from MySQl to Riak to collect and process machine data and to perform real-time analytics, detect anomalies, ensure compliance, and proactively respond to threats. Alert Logic processes nearly 5TB/day in Riak and has achieved performance results of up to 35k operations/second. Learn more about how Alert Logic improved performance through Riak in our blog post.
The Weather Company
The Weather Company provides millions of people every day with the world's best weather forecasts, content and data, connecting with them through television, online, mobile and tablet screens. Riak is central to The Weather Company's weather data services platform that delivers real-time weather services to aerospace, insurance, energy, retail, media, government, and hospitality industries. Check out our blog to see why The Weather Company selected Riak over MySQL to support their massive big data needs.
Dell uses Riak as the core distributed database technology underlying its customer cloud management solutions. Riak is used to collect and manage data associated with customer application provisioning and scaling, application configuration management, usage governance, and cloud utilization monitoring. In 2012, Enstratius (acquired by Dell) switched to Riak from MySQL in order to provide cross-datacenter redundancy, high write availability, and fault tolerance. Check out the full Enstratius case study.
Data Modeling in Riak
Riak has a "schemaless" design. Objects are comprised of key/value pairs, which are stored in flat namespaces called buckets. Below is a chart with some simple approaches to building common application types with a key/value model.
|Application Type
|User/Session ID
|Session Data
|Campaign ID
|Ad Content
|Log File
|Date, Date/Time
|Sensor Updates
|User Data
|Login, eMail, UUID
|User Attributes
|Title, Integer
|Text, JSON/XML/HTML Document, Images, etc.

Alert Logic Relies on Riak to Support Rapid Growth
January 24, 2013
Alert Logic, the industry-leading Security-as-a-Service provider and protector of customer infrastructure and data, uses Riak to help manage their massive amount of data collection needs and to support their rapid business growth.
Recently named a Leader in Emerging Managed Security Services by Forrester Research, Alert Logic helps companies defend against security threats and address compliance mandates, such as PCI and HIPAA. Alert Logic's Security solutions include intrusion detection, web application security, log management and vulnerability assessment, coupled with 24×7 monitoring and expert guidance services. Alert Logic is used by dozens of the world's largest hosting service providers.
With the help of Riak, Alert Logic collects and processes machine data and uses this information to perform real-time analytics, detect anomalies, ensure compliance and proactively respond to threats. Alert Logic introduced Riak in 2012 to support the development of a new analytics infrastructure, and ultimately replace an existing MySQL system that could not support the anticipated increase in workload.
The new analytics infrastructure performs statistical and correlation processing on all data collected from Alert Logic's products – including log messages, network intrusion detection events, and NetFlow data – processing approximately 5 TB/day. All of this data is processed in real-time as it streams in from over 2,000 customers, 5,000 appliances, and hundreds of thousands of data sources on customer networks. The data grows more than 50% a year, outpacing revenue growth of 40%.
Today, Alert Logic's analytics infrastructure, powered by Riak, achieves performance results of up to 35,000 operations/second across each node in the cluster – performance that eclipses the existing MySQL deployment by a large margin on single node performance. In real business terms, the initial deployment of the combination of Riak and the analytic infrastructure has allowed Alert Logic to process in real-time 7,500 reports, which previously took 12 hours of dedicated processing every night. In addition, Alert Logic's expert security analysts' benefited as well, by gaining increased functionality and efficiency.
Alert Logic uses Riak Enterprise advanced replication technology to deploy clusters that can handle different priority workloads. This frees up Alert Logic's primary cluster to ensure it is always available to receive and write customer-specific analytic data, even during times requiring extreme scale. Other Riak clusters will provide data mining and reporting that are critical to Alert Logic's solutions.
"Alert Logic depends on the reliable processing of massive amounts of machine data and turning that into actionable information," said Paul Fisher, Director of Platform Services, at Alert Logic. "Our security operations center depends on this information for analysis to detect and respond to real-time security incidents that occur on our customers networks. We selected Riak for scalability and fault-tolerance, and it continues to be a vital component helping ensure that the Alert Logic Platform can scale to keep up with our rapid growth."
Alert Logic plans to accelerate development of its real-time analytical capabilities in 2013, and expand the presence of Riak as a foundational technology throughout Alert Logic's solutions. On deck next is the replacement of the largest existing MySQL workload at Alert Logic, which today sustains 9,000 queries per second, and peaks at over 20,000.
Basho plans to announce the inaugural Houston Riak meet-up featuring the Platform Services team at Alert Logic shortly. Stay tuned.

On Wednesday afternoon, heavyweight Joey Beltran (Pictured) revealed he had been released by the UFC. Although "The Mexicutioner" was visibly distraught following Saturday's lights out loss to Lavar Johnson, the 30-year-old understands that MMA is all bout stockpiling Ws.
"I am truly grateful for all the opportunities that I have received from the UFC/Zuffa. I am not sad or hurt by their decision, as I know that winning is the name of the game," Beltran told Fighters Only.
"Posting a 1-4 record my last 5 fights is unacceptable, regardless of how entertaining the fights were. So this is the next chapter of my career, and one that I am excited for. You will definitely see my ugly face again, so fans don't worry and haters keep on hating."
Beltran owns a 13-7 professional record, with 11 of his wins coming via some form of knockout. However, he only won half of his six big leagues fights.

Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Navin Chawla has asked the President's Secretariat not to disclose to an RTI applicant the letter written by the then CEC, N. Gopalaswami, to the President questioning the propriety of his (Mr. Chawla) continuing as Election Commissioner.
The President's Secretariat (RTI Section) has informed this in a communication to S.C. Agarwal. It said the CEC (Mr. Chawla) "is of the considered view that the letter/report sent by Mr. Gopalaswami to the President may not be disclosed to the applicant under the RTI Act."
During January last year, Mr. Gopalaswami suo motu sent a recommendation to the President that Mr. Chawla be removed from office on the alleged ground of 'partisanship'. His action raised eyebrows within the government for its timing as well as its departure from well-settled readings of the relevant constitutional provisions.
However, this recommendation was turned down by the President and Mr. Chawla continued as Commissioner and subsequently became CEC.
Mr. Agarwal sought a copy of the letter from the President's Secretariat, and when it refused to disclose the matter, moved the Central Information Commissioner.
In its reply, the CPIO, President's Secretariat, said taking into consideration the relevant material, views expressed by Mr. Chawla and the statutory requirement under the RTI Act, the information "does not merit disclosure."
Earlier, the President's Secretariat said the disclosure of the letter "would be an invasion of privacy."
Then Mr. Agarwal approached the Chief Information Commissioner, who ordered: "The information sought is with regard to correspondence between the then CEC and the President of India regarding a third party. There is no doubt that the information sought is third party and held in confidence by the President. This is, therefore, clearly third party information qualifying for the protection allowed by the Act as such. Before any decision is taken to disclose the same therefore, CPIO will refer the matter to the third party Shri. Chawla to obtain his opinion on the disclosability of this information."
Fresh plea
Mr. Agarwal has now filed a fresh appeal to the Appellate Authority in the President's Secretariat seeking the copy of Mr. Gopalaswami's letter.
He also sought the copy of Mr. Chawla's letter asking the President's Secretariat not to disclose Mr. Gopalaswami's letter.
Keywords: RTI Act, Election Commission, Navin Chawla, N. Gopalaswami

By Brad VanFossan
This can't be our beloved Cleveland Indians can it? And I use the term beloved loosely, more like love in the way that I loved tearing part of my bicep, and the way I love getting bondings at the dentist. Can you blame me for my love-hate relationship that has been formed more so on the foundation of luke-warm like since the playoff collapse of 2007? It's not so much that I'm a typical jaded Cleveland sports fan, I have just become apathetic. Thanks Indians for sucking me back in when I didn't have feelings for you anymore.
Since giving up 23 runs in losing their first two games of the season, Cleveland has won six in a row and has outscored their opponents 33-10 in winning their next six. Thats 1.6 runs a game for the opponents. That = great pitching, starting and relieving. It was thought that that's what the Indians would have to have this year to even be semi-competitive, but they are not only getting great pitching (aside from the first two games), they are also getting great offense, scoring in double digits twice in the first eight games.
Although the Indians have only cracked over 10,000 in attendance since opening day, I have a feeling bigger crowds will await at Progressive Field after the current west coast trip. I'm not talking a huge difference, but I wouldn't be surprised to see 15k or more on average at the next home series. I think everyone is still taking a wait and see approach. I know Seattle is a big pile of steaming dog crap, but the Boston Red Sox are not, and the Tribe swept them at home, doing so for the first time at home since August of 2001. So right now I'm carrying on with cautious optimism, because we've all been done this road before. I so want to believe though.
So whoever is supplying Travis Hafner with HGH again, keep giving it to him (wink wink). It's been nice being able to enjoy watching baseball again. I'm still not a fan of alot of the trades over recent years, and the front office not even trying to bring in free agents and or spend money on players we already had, but I will give the guys on the field my support, as they are playing hard and making it fun to be an Indians fan again. It's early, but it's better to be on top then looking up, well at least in the standings.

Oil prices are on the run again thanks to the improving prospects or global recovery and the recent rise in geopolitical tensions with Iran. Exxon (NYSE:XOM), as the world's largest publicly traded oil company, is likely to see investor interest. However, I believe Exxon can under perform the broader oil & gas sector in this run and one should avoid it.
My main worries with Exxon's stock price are its premium valuations, low production volume growth and high leverage to natural gas fundamentals.
Challenging Natural Gas Fundamentals
Exxon has the second-largest exposure (in terms of mix) to natural gas among the large cap oil & gas group. Natural gas prices in the U.S. are near the lowest levels of the past few years. However, it's not just the low natural gas prices that are making me bearish on the stock. It is Exxon's bullish outlook on natural gas demand, which worries me more. Most of the oil & gas majors including Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK) and ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) have announced natural gas drilling cuts and yet Exxon has increased its focus on natural gas by increasing its production in the U.S. The company has also acquired XTO Energy, a pure-play natural gas company. Exxon's gearing toward domestic natural gas has increased to 16% from 8% prior to the acquisition. Clearly, Exxon's focus on natural gas is likely to be a headwind for the stock until the natural gas fundamentals turn bullish again, which I believe is unlikely in the near term.
No Near-Term Catalysts for Production Growth
I expect Exxon to post flat production volumes in 2012, and a modest 2% growth in 2013. The significant uptick in volume growth will begin only in 2014 when production in Gulf of Mexico, Papua New Guinea, Banyu Urip in Inodnesia and West Qurna-1 field in Iraq is expected to start. That clearly is some time away and bulls will not have much to cheer in 2012 at least.
Premium Valuation
XOM is currently trading at 115% of NAV with a forward P/E of 9.67 and trailing P/E of 10.31. This is a premium over its oil and gas peers. Here is a table indicating P/E multiples of oil and gas majors.
Trailing P/E
Forward P/E
Suncor Energy Inc.
Marathon Oil Corp.
Chevron Corp.
Valero Energy Corp.
With the pay-off from higher capex including accelerating volumes several years away, flat production volumes and higher leverage to natural gas over its peers in the near term; I don't think XOM warrants any premium. I see a good chance of Exxon underperforming other oil & gas companies in the near term.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.
