damnit hornets time.. give me one of sprewell or bonzi
Mashburn on the block still and probably better than anything out there.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
Tim Thomas is also available. Looking at SG/C/picks
noooo I wanted Penny or Glenn as my 6th man
Was hoping to get one Bonzi/ Spree and Ilgauskas, I gave Ilgauskas a big contract and he turned it down
May bring it back but it will be A WHOLE LOT more than just 25 points.
Was sad to see Vin Baker and Sam Cassell go but the additions of Terrell Brandon, Theo Ratliff, and PJ Brown should really improve my defense.
One question:
I'm 50k under the cap. I plan on trying to re-sign a couple of my guys this upcoming sim, but I would also like to sign someone with the MLE and someone else with the LLE. Can I use the full 4.5 MLE and 1.2 LLE right now, or do I have to wait until I'm over the cap?
Hate to be a dick but if yall couldn't get the points for what it was previously there is no way yall will be able to afford the amount of points I'm thinking. And it won't be a "split the points" type thing either.
Honestly, I was fine with not having a "trade exception" at all. Makes trading more of a serious business rather than the senseless swapping (yes, I've done it too) that happens a lot of the time.
My team is ****s right now and I feel like **** because of it!
Can someone tell me what David wesleys contract is?

Girl grew up and came back to seek justice
Trafficking victims can also be U.S. citizens — including those enslaved by gangs, which have become involved in sex trafficking in recent years, said Don Stump, executive director of North County Lifeline. His organization provides counseling and mental-health services to victims of trafficking and child abuse, among other clients.
Lifeline is helping the victim in the Oceanside case, but Stump said he could not give specifics to protect the victim and maintain her privacy.
"She has been a very cooperative and forthright client in working with law enforcement because she wants to see some justice," said Stump, whose organization hosted a daylong conference about trafficking on Friday in Oceanside. "The biggest challenge right now with human trafficking is making sure the services are in place for the victims, but also making sure the community is aware of the specifics of trafficking right in their own neighborhoods."
Mata of the sheriff's department said when the young woman returned to the U.S., she was encouraged to come forward by someone close to her. She had begun to experience flashbacks and showed symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder.
She sought help from the Bilateral Safety Corridor Coalition, which works with trafficking victims. The group, based in National City, helped reopen her juvenile case and notify authorities about the abuse she had suffered as a child.
Marisa Ugarte, director of the coalition, said her organization maintains victims' confidentiality. She did say the survivor in this case is no longer a client.
"There are many, many cases like this one," Ugarte said. "The most important part now is that she is here and she is going to get justice."
One challenge for groups that help trafficking victims is that unauthorized immigrants, including children, are often returned to their native country even though they may qualify for legal status as a victim of trafficking or other crimes. In such situations, including the Oceanside case, the alleged abusers are not prosecuted.
Hernandez and Garcia are in jail and will be arraigned early next week. A spokeswoman for the District Attorney's office said it is too soon to comment on the case.

The Road Map to Nowhere
Do we really need another doomed Mideast peace process?
Mar 31, 2003, Vol. 8, No. 28 • By JOSHUA MURAVCHIK
Two critical premises lie behind this plan. The first is that the shape of an ultimate settlement is clear. It will look like the terms discussed at Taba, Egypt, in January 2001, the last-ditch negotiation undertaken during the waning days of Bill Clinton's presidency and Ehud Barak's tenure as Israel's prime minister. In this view, what is lacking is a choreography to get us to a final act the outcome of which is already known. The second premise is that this choreography requires an intermediary more balanced than the United States, whose seven-year mediation efforts under the Oslo accords were crowned with failure at Camp David in the summer of 2000. Hence, the primary role now assigned to the quartet, which is less reflexively pro-Israel than America.
The first thing one might say about the plan itself is that its pace is breathless. Comprehensive political reform, a new constitution, free elections--all within the first few months? Never mind that this seems unrealistic. (We are now 19 years past the deadline for Palestinian self-rule set in the Egypt-Israel peace agreement of 1979 and four years past the date for completing "final status" talks under the Oslo accords.) It is even undemocratic. Aren't the citizens of Palestine entitled to a little time to acquaint themselves with their new political system, not to mention to assent to it, to discover what the offices are for which they will vote, to form political parties, to debate the issues? From there, we press on frantically to sovereignty within a few more months and a complete laying to rest of the Arab-Israeli conflict by 2005. Inshallah. There is no disgrace in a rush to peace, provided one's hurry does not result in losing one's way.
There is, however, an important problem here. Postmortems of Oslo, notably by the chief U.S. negotiator, Dennis Ross, have focused on America's failure to insist on full compliance with the terms of the agreement, especially on the part of the Palestinians, a failure that was driven by the pressure to meet predetermined timetables. Precisely to avoid repetition of this mistake, the Bush administration has characterized the road map as "performance driven." But that is scarcely compatible with a breakneck dash around the map's multiple clover leaves.
THE MOST PENETRATING analysis of this dizzying racecourse has been offered by Robert Satloff of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Satloff faults the plan's "sham, even indecent, parallelism between Palestinian and Israeli behavior." Not only does it call on each side, in virtually identical language, to "cease violence" against the other, as if acts of terror and counterterror are commensurable. It also balances a demand that "official Palestinian institutions end incitement against Israel" with one that "official Israeli institutions end incitement against Palestinians."
The issue of incitement is not about "mere words." It goes to the heart of prospects for peace. In trading land for peace, Israel wants to be sure it is getting what is promised, namely a Palestinian neighbor committed to respecting its existence. Nothing did more to sabotage Oslo than Arafat's ambiguity on this score, his own continued references to "jihad," and the hatred, denigration, and delegitimation of Israel that permeated the Palestinian Authority's state-controlled news media, textbooks, maps, and what-have-you. Nothing comparable ever issued from the Israeli government. The road map's designers apparently feared it would be insulting to the Palestinians to allude to their incitement without saying something equivalent toward Israel, however baseless. But to treat the issue of incitement in such a cavalier fashion bodes ill for the process.
Satloff also points out that there is something dangerously naive in the road map's assumption that the situation prior to the outbreak of violence can or should be readily restored. In fact, he points out,
the status quo ante was itself deeply flawed, i.e., the infrastructure for illegal smuggling and manufacture of weaponry was well established; the commingling of terrorist organizations and Palestinian security forces was deeply entrenched; and the preparations for armed uprising were well advanced, as evidenced by the testimony of senior Palestinian officials. Rolling back the clock without addressing the organic problems at the heart of Oslo . . . is a surefire way to guarantee that the road map will share Oslo's fate.

Broadcaster David Frost dies
LONDON — Veteran broadcaster David Frost, who won fame around the world for his interview with former President Richard Nixon, has died, his family told the BBC. He was 74.
Frost died of a heart attack on Saturday night aboard the Queen Elizabeth cruise ship, where he was due to give a speech, the family said. The cruise company Cunard says its vessel had left the English port of Southampton on Saturday for a 10-day cruise in the Mediterranean.
Known for incisive interviews of leading public figures, Frost spent more than 50 years as a television star.
Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted: "My heart goes out to David Frost's family. He could be — and certainly was with me — both a friend and a fearsome interviewer.
The BBC says it received a statement from Frost's family saying it was devastated and asking "for privacy at this difficult time."

Kirron Kher unveils a limited edition heritage collection of saris
It sounded unrehearsed and genuine when Kirron Kher gushed over designer Gaurang Shah's limited edition heritage collection and stated she'd like to bring out a new line of saris in partnership with the designer in future. The actress has been Gaurang Shah's muse and showstopper at Lakme Fashion Week in the past and takes pride in wearing hand-woven saris.
The actress was in Hyderabad to unveil the heritage summer collection of the troika Gaurang Shah, Mira Sagar and Bappaditya, which included a range of organzas, Maheshwari and Chanderi cottons.
Gaurang proudly shows off an off-white sari with contrasting fuchsia and green borders with colourful floral jamdhani motifs and says, "This was done on a three-shuttle loom in the traditional style followed by weavers in Kanchi. We wanted to develop a line of saris that are lighter but have the lustre of silk. The result was this mix of organza and silk, which ensures easy drape." These limited edition saris can cost the buyer a neat sum of Rs.50,000 or more.
But not every sari showcased as part of the heritage collection creates a dent in the buyer's wallet. Gaurang's summer range includes Jaipur batiks, ikats and ajrakhs on cotton and organza, priced mostly within Rs. 15,000.
Mira Sagar, having worked for years with clusters of weavers in Maheshwar, brings to town a range of cotton kurta materials in solid hues offset by floral block print dupattas and priced around Rs. 1200 to 1500.
Bappaditya Biswas has displayed a range of hand-woven Bengal silks and cottons as part of his label 'Bilou', which enjoys the patronage of personalities like Priyanka Gandhi and filmmaker Aparna Sen. The basic range of cotton saris 'abir' are priced at Rs. 750 and a higher range of silk-cotton blends in bright, summer colour palette come at Rs. 4000 to 6000.
To complement the ethnic weaves, Mira Sagar's daughter Sasha displayed a line of antique silver jewellery.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. (WKRN) – In the heart of Brentwood at Brentwood United Methodist Church, a support group meets and has done so for the last 21 years.
The Career Transition Support Group has everyone form recent college grads to senior citizens, who all have one thing in common, they need jobs.
"It's been through multiple recessions, we've had literally thousands of people pass through the doors here and get jobs," says Volunteer Rick Ross.
He also says, "Whether it's resume creation, whether it's networking, interview skills, we cover all those different aspects on a weekly basis."
For many it's a different world out there. They haven't had to look for a job in years and sometimes decades.
Ross says, "Times have changed and job seeking has changed too. You know years ago we waited for the news paper and now it's all about linked in, career builder and things like that."
One of the keynote speakers for the group Ed Condon says, "Back then the Internet wasn't there, Linkedin the social networking sites and so forth weren't there. Now they are a must have part of your career search."
The program has had great success, in fact employers come to them looking to hire and many counselors have first hand experience in dealing with job loss.
The career transition support group meets every Monday at Brentwood United Methodist Church at 6:30 in the evening. For more information you can visit their website at http://bumc.net/Career.

Here is something new. Not vi, not emacs, not just a wrapper for some hackneyed old Motif widget. With a sparse but sufficient keyboard command set and full regular expression substitutions, NEdit has the best mouse integration I've seen yet in a Linux editor, free or otherwise.
Weighing in at a little over a megabyte for the static-linked Motif binary, NEdit starts up slower than the last editor I wrote about, xvile, but much faster than emacs or xemacs. Scrolling is fast, and command execution shows no perceptible delay.
It's easy to learn, economical on keystrokes due to its excellent mouse support, and not too difficult to customize using X resources; featuring multiple undo/redo, NEdit earns very high marks from me.
NEdit handles both rectangular and linear regions selected by the mouse. With rectangular regions, you can:
Drag the region or a copy of it
Lay region over destination text
Shift text in the destination out of the way
Extend or shrink region in any direction
No command or function keys are used for any of these—just mouse clicks, drags, and CTRL, ALT, and SHIFT chording. Many other operations are available via command keys, mostly CTRL- or ALT- modified, including:
Cut or paste to cut buffer
Left-justify region
Replace region with typed text
Regular expression substitution
Run region through command line filter
Unlike some other editors, rectangular regions are not bound on the right by the shortest line in the region. Likewise, when you move a rectangular region, you can move it as far to the right as you like.
Most things you can do with rectangular regions also work with linear regions, which start some place in a line and incorporate all intervening text until some place in another line. In fact, you can convert between linear and rectangular regions while working with them, just by pressing or releasing the CTRL button.
Linear selection is supported by an xterm, so you may paste text such as command line dialogues, listings of files, and so on, from an xterm directly into a NEdit window. This saves me a great deal of time when filing bug reports and writing release notes.
Motif secondary selection is present also, in both linear and rectangular flavors. This provides some very nice features.
Dragging mouse Button 2 or Button 3 (depending on your flavor of Motif) underlines text; when you release, the underlined text is moved or copied to the location of the I-beam cursor. The position of the SHIFT key chooses move or copy.
If there is a primary selection at this time, the secondary selection replaces it or, if you hold ALT when you release the selection mouse button, it is exchanged with the primary selection. The varieties of secondary selection are great for moving sentences around in a paragraph, re-ordering the clauses of a C language switch statement, or inserting text from one editor window to another.
These mouse-based capabilities alone save me perhaps 80% of the keystrokes I'd use in vi for similar text manipulation tasks.
As is customary under Motif, if you select some text, then begin typing, the typed entry replaces the selected text. This provides the handiest way to delete blocks of selected text, using the backspace key.
Mark Edel writes:
The world of GUIs under Unix is a clash of cultures. Unix is all about flexibility and programmability. Modern GUIs are all about uniformity and standards. Finding middle ground is not easy. I'm proud that NEdit can satisfy users who want to change everything ("I want my backspace key to invoke this awk script, and I want all of my buttons blue") as well as those who want to use it right out of the box and learn at their own pace.
Menus and Dialogs don't automatically make good GUIs. Quality really means working hard to make the program clear, efficient, consistent, modeless, and error-proof. A good GUI under X, for example, must devote a lot of code to basic stability, because critical infrastructure components are not fixed: window management, keyboard focus policy, colors, fonts, key bindings, to name a few.

By LEONARD PHANG firstname.lastname@example.com
KUCHING: A teenager became the second fatality at Gunung Tabai in Taiton, Bau, this year after his father's warning not to take
part in illegal gold mining there fell on
deaf ears.
Phill Gojiak, a form six student from Kampung Bijuray, informed his mother that he was taking a few gunny sacks from home to go to the mining area on Friday.
His father, upon returning home at 3pm, was furious to discover where his son had gone. His deepest fears would be realised.
With no safety equipment whatsoever,
Phill went to the mine with 38-year-old Timothy Godeb. They arrived at the area at 5pm but because there were many other
illegal miners already there, they had to wait their turn. They only managed to begin mining at 7.50pm.
Little did they know that the spot they had chosen was the place where Chai Say Chong, 28, was killed on March 17.
At 10pm, a loose large rock fell on them as they dug their way in the tunnel. The rock pinned Phill and crushed Timothy's foot.
Miners nearby heard their
screams and alerted the police. The
Bau Fire and Rescue Department
was also alerted.
Battling the dark conditions and
steep entrance to the tunnel, the
rescue team pulled Phill out first at
He was said to have suffered
from a serious back injury, believed
to be a broken back bone.
Phill was still making verbal contact
with the rescue workers before
leaving for Sarawak General
Hospital. He, however, was pronounce
dead at 7.50am.
Timothy was rescued at 5.10am
after rescue workers succeeded in
breaking the rock that held him
down. He was also taken to hospital
for treatment.
Bau district police chief DSP
Mohd Sabri Zainol said he would
ask the Resident's Office to place a
fence forbidding any illegal miners
from re-entering the area.
In the incident in March, Chai
was prospecting for gold some 24m
underground when a slab of rock
collapsed on him.
Chai, from Paku, was said to have
been illegally digging for gold for
the first time. Police believed head
injuries were the cause of death.
In February, Bau police had
arrested 46 people for illegally
mining but the constant warnings
from the authorities have gone

House lawmakers vote to block their pay hike
Thursday - 5/1/2014, 4:10pm EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- House lawmakers voted for the sixth year in a row on Thursday to deny themselves the cost-of-living pay hike that they would otherwise automatically receive next January.
The move would freeze congressional salaries at $174,000 a year and is attached to legislation to fund Congress' budget, which passed the House by a 402-14 vote. Lawmakers haven't received a pay hike since January 2009.
Bipartisan reforms enacted in 1989 gave lawmakers a big pay increase in exchange for dropping the much-criticized practice of accepting money from outside interest groups for speeches.
That legislation also awarded lawmakers annual cost-of-living pay increases, which also meant that lawmakers no longer had to cast politically toxic votes to raise their pay.
Congress accepted the annual COLA for some years in the 1990s and for most of the 2000s but has voted to deny itself the raise for five consecutive years.
The scheduled 1.6 percent hike would give lawmakers a raise of about $2,800.
The congressional salary is generous but many lawmakers make but a fraction of the money than do the lobbyists who meet with them. And steep housing prices in the Washington area can be a hardship for lawmakers who opt to rent an apartment. In fact, more than a few lawmakers sleep in their offices during the three nights a week they typically are in Washington.
In debate on Thursday, a veteran lawmakers who is retiring protested that freezing lawmakers' salaries would make it more difficult for people of modest means, like teachers, veterans, and younger people with small children, to serve in Congress. And sticking the provision to block the COLA into the legislative branch spending measure, said Rep. James Moran of Virginia, sets "a precedent that is going to be very difficult to reverse."
Also Thursday, the House rejected an attempt by Rep. Rich Nugent, R-Fla., to block lawmakers from using their official office budgets to lease automobiles. Cole said 63 members lease cars and that some members have found it's more economical to do that than to opt for mileage reimbursements.
The underlying congressional funding bill freezes Congress' budget at current levels. Since Republicans took control of the House in 2011, the chamber's budget has been reduced by 14 percent after sizable increases under Democratic control. It contains $21 million to complete a restoration of the iconic iron dome of the Capitol, which dates to the Civil War and contains many cracks.

Ocean Kelp Studied To Learn About Ice Age Climate
A New Zealand research team has produced data that could improve predictions of climate change, after discovering sea ice extended further north in the Southern Ocean during the last Ice Age than scientists previously thought, Reuters reported.
Researchers from the University of Otago examined the genetic code of modern-day bull kelp from samples taken from many sub-Antarctic islands, as well as New Zealand and Chile.
They found that southern bull kelp, Durvillaea antarctica, had only recolonized the sub-Antarctic islands in the past 20,000 years after the retreat of sea ice. The kelp live in the shallow inter-tidal zone and were destroyed by the scouring motion of sea ice across the sea bed.
The studies leader, PhD student Ceridwen Fraser told Reuters: "We found this pattern that there is a lot of genetic diversity further north and next to no diversity further south, which suggests that it's just recently been colonized by the species."
Current data of the estimated extent of sea ice based on sediment core samples from the Southern Ocean seabed are now highly questionable. Because of the remoteness of the vast ocean, some areas had abundant data, while others had very little.
The researchers said none of the sediment data suggests sea ice extended as far north as the sub-Antarctic islands between about 50 and 55 degrees latitude, such as Macquarie island, south of New Zealand, or South Georgia, in the far south Atlantic.
In regard to ocean and wind circulation patterns and the amount of solar radiation sea ice reflects back out to space, Fraser said if the sea ice was more extensive than previous studies suggested then that's going to call for a re-assessment of other things science understands about climate change and how all these systems interact.
She added that a very small change in the extent of sea ice would make a huge difference in the amount of radiation that is reflected, as well as ocean circulation patterns.
The findings suggested temperatures were a little cooler than some previous studies had reported.
"This helps us understand better what sort of patterns we might expect in the future and also the rate of climate change," she said.
The study marks the first time scientists had looked at modern-day genetic data to study past climate in the southern hemisphere, according to research supervisor Jonathan Waters. He said the purpose was to expand the concept to study other species in the sub-Antarctic zone.
"It's important to understand historic climate and how inaccurately estimating it can give us false impressions of what can happen in the future," he said.

Surf's up: Gore Canyon Whitewater Park 'open for non-business'
Stakeholders from Grand County, Eagle County and the Bureau of Land Management met on Wednesday, May 13, with staff from Kissner General Contractors and RiverRestoration for a post-construction inspection of the newly completed Gore Canyon Recreation In-Channel Diversion project at the popular Pumphouse Recreation Area near Kremmling. The park, known as the Gore Canyon Whitewater Park, is the cumulation of five years of coordinated effort involving extensive planning, outreach, negotiation, water court processes, engineering, fundraising and permitting. Taking the lead on the initiative were Grand County commissioners, one of five major funding partners, including Eagle County, the Department of Local …

He started playing when he was just 4 years old."I grew up in a home full of musicians," Gales said. "I loved it."Soon after, one of brothers handed him a guitar."I picked it up the …

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Digidrive is played on a cross-shaped field constantly being flooded with arrows of one of three colors. At the outset of a new game, only arrows of one color enter the field of play, but over time, the second and third colors are introduced. As these arrows cross the center of the field, they can be sorted into one of the four sides of the field; this is done by holding the D-Pad in the desired direction. Like-colored arrows sorted into the same areas will begin to stack, while sending a different-colored arrow will break apart an exsisting stack, sending those arrows back to the center of the field to be moved elsewhere.When five arrows of the same color are sorted into the same area, a "stack" is formed. This is represented by a triangle next to the stack; in addition, that side of the cross will be highlighted with the appropriate color. A stack must be maintained by sending more arrows of the right color into it; otherwise, the stack will disappear. For every five arrows sent into a stack, the stack will increase in size. If a wrong-colored arrow is sent into a stack, the stack will disappear. However, if this is done and there is one other stack on the field, the former will empty its contents into the latter. If a stack is broken and there are two other stacks in play, the destroyed stack will "double" and send its contents to both of the other stacks, increasing their respective sizes.As a game progresses, the player's time limit is expressed by a disc and plunger on the right-hand side of the screen. The plunger is constantly moving upwards, toward the disc. If the two touch, the game ends. Periodically, the game will send the player a flashing arrow. A siren sound plays before and while this special arrow is in play. Sending the flashing arrow into an exsisting stack will destroy the stack, but send its contents to the disc, launching it into the air; a bigger stack will launch the disc further. This increases the distance between the disc and the plunger, giving the player more time to increase his score. The player may also manually send in one flashing arrow, which is kept in reserve.If the player creates stacks in all four sections of the field simultaneously, the game enters into "autobahn" mode. In this mode, a stream of arrows constantly enter the field, the rate at which they move increasing with time. When an arrow is incorrectly sorted, the stack which is broken will be sent to the disc, and normal play will resume, leaving the player with three stacks on the field. In addition, an additional flashing arrow is granted for use when the autobahn mode is exited.

Howard Tate
A Portrait of Howard
Solid Ground Productions
It's likely that you've never heard of soul singer Howard Tate. He merits no mention in Peter Guralnick's overview Sweet Soul Music, and his smooth, lush sides recorded for Verve (not exactly a label known for its gritty Southern style) are out of step with the tough brand names like Atlantic and Stax, known only to the most fervent of Northern soul collectors. While the songs Tate recorded with producer Jerry Ragovoy remain obscure, the fans who revered him are not. Ry Cooder, B.B. King, and Hugh Masekela covered him, and Tate echoes throughout some of the '60s' biggest names: Jimi Hendrix and the James Gang expanded on his classic side, "Stop," while his version of "Get It While You Can" became the blueprint (and showstopper) for Janis Joplin. Presumed departed from this earth, and with his fine Verve collection Get It While You Can woefully out of print, Tate's reemergence in 2001 was a cause for jubilation among aficionados. Tate is living history, one of the finest treasures of the era still intact. Despite time spent as a homeless drug addict, the man can still reach those tear-rending falsetto heights with tremulous, honeyed, yet resoundingly deep pipes, as his forthcoming A Portrait of Howard proves. Expertly arranged by Steve Weisberg, the album shows the respect the soul man garners, with Carla Bley, Steve Swallow, and Lou Reed contributing to a mix of originals and smooth covers of Randy Newman and Burt Bacharach. Tate turns 68 on Monday, so get him while you can.

Blogs Liberty and Power A Modest Proposal for IranAug 24, 2005 4:29 pm
A Modest Proposal for Iran
I reconsider foreign intervention in my new LRC article. An excerpt:
We need a solution that will take care of Iraq, Iran, and their embarrassing new affinity to each other. We need a way to continue the war on terror against Iran without stretching the military too thin or exhausting our capabilities for potential intervention elsewhere. We need to keep the new Iraqi Sharia state in check. Since we live in a democracy, we should find an answer that satisfies everyone and saves America's face in world opinion, all the while maintaining consistency and continuity with America's traditions in foreign policy.

Now more than ever we are confronted with obstacles and difficulties in our daily lives that we just can't seem to handle on our own. Fear not! Noted author and world-famous advice columnist Tionna Smalls is here to help you solve your problems! Today, Tionna counsels an ambivalent employee.
Hey Tionna,
I don't usually ask for advice on these kinds of things because, hell, I just don't care all that much, but something's been bugging me the last couple weeks and I was wondering if you could help me out.
There's this guy at work who does the same job that I do. Now, sure, he's been here a few years more than I have, and, yeah, he's been a little more successful than me, but that don't bother me much. Still, as the end of our company's fiscal year is approaching, I'm starting to hear more comparisons between the two of us: They say the other fella's more focused, he's more intense, he dates prettier women.
I could give a rip about the first two; hell, they may be true. But I don't get the big deal about the third one. I mean, sure, I'm still with the gal I met in college. Big whoop. Does that somehow make me less of a man 'cause you don't see me impregnating actresses or sleeping with pretty Kraut models?
I should also mention that I get a lot of criticism for the way I do my job. Part of it is because both my daddy and my brother also worked in the industry, and people hold me to the standards they've established. To be honest, I don't pay that any mind, but sometimes I do feel like I never wanted to do this job in the first place but I got pushed into it because of everyone else's expectations and now everyone's looking to me and hoping that I screw up so I can prove whatever jackass theories they have about my guts and intensity and I swear sometimes it just makes me want to grab the world by the throat and KEEP CHOKING IT UNTIL IT FALLS TO THE GROUND IN A GIANT HEAP OF SORRY.
Anyways, like I told you before, none of this stuff keeps me up nights. But if you've got any theories or stuff you want to share, I'm all ears. Big ones.
Thank you, ma'am,
No Worries

RICON West Videos: Riak Search 2.0
December 17, 2013
In addition to Riak Data Types, there were a number of other presentations about Riak 2.0 features at RICON West. With the Technical Preview of Riak 2.0, we also announced a completely redesigned Riak Search.
Riak is a straight key/value data store and all objects are stored on disk as binaries. It is content agnostic – meaning you can store any type of data as the value in Riak. To improve the usability and functionality of Riak, we offer multiple querying options including Riak Search, Secondary Indexing, and MapReduce. Riak Search is a full-text search that allows Riak developers to index the contents of stored values. While Riak Search offers much needed functionality, it had its flaws.
In Riak 2.0, Riak Search received a complete overhaul. Riak Search 2.0 leverages the Apache Solr full-text document indexing engine directly. Riak users now get the power of Solr, with the availability and scalability of Riak. This upgrade also supports the Solr client-queries API, which enables integration with existing software solutions.
Eric Redmond is one of the Basho engineers who works on Riak Search. At RICON, he presented "Riak Search 2.0," which walks through what's new with Riak Search and why you'd want to use it. He also provides some impressive demos that show off the power of Solr and Riak. His full talk is below.
For more information on Riak Search 2.0, check out these resources on Github.

Basho Announces Technical Preview of Riak 2.0 and Riak Enterprise 2.0
San Francisco, CA – October 29, 2013 – Today at RICON West, Basho, the worldwide leader in distributed systems and cloud storage software, announced that the Technical Preview of Riak 2.0, Basho's distributed NoSQL database, is now publicly available. This major release introduces new features that improve developer ease-of-use, increase flexibility around consistency, boost search and analytics capabilities, simplify operations at scale, and provide enterprise-class data security.
Riak continues to gain adoption worldwide supporting critical applications that require high-availability, predictable scalability, and performance. Riak's unique ability to distribute data, both to ensure availability and provide data locality, provides enterprises a proven database technology for powering critical web, mobile and social applications, cloud computing platforms, and to store and serve machine-to-machine and sensor data. Riak is used by thousands of companies, including over 30% of the Fortune 50.

Introducing Riak 2.0: Data Types, Strong Consistency, Full-Text Search, and Much More
October 29, 2013
Today at RICON West in San Francisco, we announced the Technical Preview of Riak 2.0 is now available. This major release adds a number of new features that many of you have been waiting for.
Throughout RICON West, we will be discussing many of the Riak 2.0 features (both in track sessions or during lightning talks), so keep your eyes on the live stream over the next two days. Videos of all sessions will also be made available after the conference.
Here is a look at some of the major enhancements available in Riak 2.0:
- Riak Data Types. Building on the eventually consistent counters introduced in Riak 1.4, Riak 2.0 adds sets and maps as new distributed data types. These Riak Data Types simplify application development without sacrificing Riak's availability and partition tolerance characteristics.
- Strong Consistency. Developers have the flexibility to choose whether buckets should be eventually consistent (the default Riak configuration today that provides high availability) or strongly consistent, based on data requirements.
- Full-Text Search Integration with Apache Solr. Riak Search is completely redesigned in Riak 2.0, leveraging the Apache Solr engine. Riak Search in 2.0 supports the Solr client query APIs, enabling integration with a wide range of existing software and commercial solutions.
- Security. Riak 2.0 adds the ability to administer access rights and utilize plug-in authentication models. Authentication and Authorization is provided via client APIs.
- Simplified Configuration Management. Riak 2.0 continues to improve Riak's operational simplicity by changing how, and where, configuration information is stored in an easy-to-parse and transparent format.
- Reduced Replicas for Multiple Data Centers. Riak Enterprise 2.0 can optionally store fewer copies of replicated data across multiple data centers to better maintain a balance between storage overhead and availability.
Ready to get started? Download the Technical Preview.
Please note that this is only a Technical Preview of Riak 2.0. This means that it has been tested extensively, as we do with all of our release candidates, but there is still work to be completed to ensure it's production hardened. Between now and the final release, we will be continuing manual and automated testing, creating detailed use cases, gathering performance statistics, and updating the documentation for both usage and deployment.
As we are finalizing Riak 2.0, we welcome your feedback for our Technical Preview. We are always available to discuss via the Riak Users mailing list, IRC (#riak on freenode), or contact us.
Riak 2.0 Technical Preview: Deep Dive
Riak Data Types
In distributed systems, we are forced to trade consistency for availability (see: CAP Theorem) and this can complicate some aspects of application design. In Riak 2.0, we have integrated cutting-edge research on data types known as called CRDTs (Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types) pioneered by INRIA to create Riak Data Types. By adding counters, sets, maps, registers, and flags, these Riak Data Types enable developers to spend less time thinking about the complexities of vector clocks and sibling resolution and, instead, focusing on using familiar, distributed data types to support their applications' data access patterns.
A more detailed overview of Riak Data Types is available that examines implementation considerations and the basics of usage.
Strong Consistency
In all prior versions, Riak was classified as an eventually consistent system. With the 2.0 release, Riak now lets developers choose when operations should be strongly or eventually consistent. This gives developers a choice between these semantics for different types of data. At the same time, operators can continue to enjoy the operational simplicity of Riak. Consistency preferences are defined on a per bucket type basis, in the same cluster.
A RICON West 2012 talk entitled, Bringing Consistency to Riak, shares much of the initial thinking behind this effort. In addition, the pull request that adds consistency to
riak_kv provides detailed information about related repositories and the implementation approach.
Redesigned Full-Text Search
Riak is a key/value store and the values are simply stored on disk as binary. With previous versions of Riak Search, Riak developers have long been able to index the content of these stored values. In Riak 2.0, Riak Search (code-named Yokozuna) has been completely redesigned and now uses the Apache Solr full-text document indexing engine directly. Together, Riak and Solr provide a reliable full-text context indexing solution that is highly available and built for scale. In addition, Riak Search 2.0 also fully supports the Solr client query APIs, which enables integration with existing software solutions (either homegrown or commercial).
The Basho engineers responsible for Yokozuna have created a resources page that includes recorded talks, Solr documentation links, and books on the topic.
Basho designed Riak with critical data in mind. Whether it's data that affects revenue, user experience, or even a patient's health (as is the case with the NHS), Riak ensures that this critical data is always available. However, often this critical data is also sensitive data. Riak 2.0 adds security to this data through the ability to administer access rights and plug-in various secure authentication models commonly used today.
The initial RFC that describes the security effort, including related Pull Requests, is available at github.com/basho/riak/issues/355.
Simplified Configuration Management
At Basho, we pride ourselves on providing operationally friendly software that functions smoothly when dealing with the challenges of a distributed system. In the past, configuration of Riak occurred in two files:
app.config and
vm.args. Riak 2.0 changes how and where configuration information is stored. It no longer uses Erlang-specific syntax but, rather, provides a layout more suited for all operators and automated deployment tools. This layout is easy to parse and transparent for Riak administrators.
More information on the vision and specific implementation considerations are contained in the repository at github.com/basho/cuttlefish.
Bucket Types
In versions of Riak prior to 2.0, keys were made up of two parts: the bucket they belong to and a unique identifier within that bucket. Buckets act as a namespace and allow for similar keys to be grouped. In addition, they provide a means of configuring how previous versions of Riak treated that data.
In Riak 2.0, several new features (security and strong consistency in particular) need to interact with groups of buckets. To this end, Riak 2.0 includes the concept of a Bucket Type. In addition to allowing new features without special prefixes in Bucket names, Riak developers and operators are able to define a group of buckets that share the same properties and only store information about each Bucket Type, rather than individual buckets.
More information about Bucket Types can be found in the Github Issue at github.com/basho/riak/issues/362. This issue describes the planned functionality, discussions about implementation, and includes related pull requests.
Change in Defaults for Sibling Resolution
Riak has always supported both application-side and timestamp and vector clock-based Last Write Wins server-side resolution. Prior to Riak 2.0, vector clock-based Last Write Wins has been the default. Moving forward, new clusters will hand off siblings to applications by default. This is the safest way to work with Riak, but requires developers to be aware of sibling resolution.
In a blog series entitled, Understanding Riak's Configurable Behaviours, Basho Evangelist John Daily discusses the configuration of Last Write Wins, and many other options, in great detail.
More Efficient Use of Physical Memory
Riak nodes are designed to manage the changing demands of a cluster as it experiences network, hardware, and other failures. To do this, Riak balances each node's resources accordingly. Riak 2.0 has vastly improved LevelDB's use of available physical memory (RAM) by allowing local databases to dynamically change their cache sizes as the cluster fluctuates under load.
In the past, it was necessary to specify RAM allocation for different LevelDB caches independently. This is no longer the case. In Riak 2.0, LevelDB databases that manage key/value or active anti-entropy data share a single pool of memory, and administrators are free to allocate as much of the available RAM to LevelDB as they feel is appropriate in their deployment. Detailed implementation documentation can be found in the basho/leveldb wiki.
Riak Ruby Vagrant Project
If you are interested in testing Riak 2.0, in a contained environment with the Riak Ruby Client, Basho engineer Bryce Kerley has put together the Riak-Ruby-Vagrant repository. In addition, this environment can be easily adapted to usage with other clients for testing the new features of Riak 2.0.
Yokozuna Pre-release 0.2.0 Now Available
December 31, 2012
Happy Holidays from all of us here at Basho. We've got some new code to help you ring in the new year. Ryan Zezeski and others have been hard at work on Yokozuna, the next generation of Riak Search that marries Riak with Apache Solr.
The latest pre-release, 0.2.0, was just tagged, and there's plenty to be excited about for those of you who are interested in test-driving the code. In addition to various bug fixes, some of the new features include:
- Active Anti Entropy Support – Automatic background processing that seeks out and rectifies divergences between data stored in Riak and indexes stored in Yokozuna.
- Benchmark Scripts – A pre-built collection of benchmarking scripts for automating performance testing.
- Sibling Support – When enabled, Yokozuna will now index all object versions. It will also handle index cleanup upon sibling resolution.
The full release notes are up on the GitHub repo.
Commits in this release came from Ryan Zezeski, Eric Redmond, and Dan Reverri. Mark Steele also reported a few issues that were fixed in this release.
Use Yokozuna
Remember that this is alpha software, and won't be officially supported by Basho until a future release. That said, Ryan and the team are actively looking for beta testers with use cases that might be appropriate for Yokozuna. If you're in the market for scalable, distributed full-text search, join the Riak Mailing List and start asking questions.
There's a pre-built Yokozuna AWS AMI (ami-8b8d03e2) with the latest changes that'll make it easy to take Yokozuna for a test drive.
And if you're looking for a high-level introduction to Yokozuna, take 30 minutes to watch Ryan's RICON2012 talk or browse the matching slide deck.
Basho is Taking Over Baltimore This Weekend
September 29, 2010
Basho hackers will be giving quite a few presentations between now and the end of the week. And they all happen to be in Baltimore! Here is a quick rundown (in no particular order) of where we will be, who will be there, and what we will be talking about:
Rusty Klophaus at CUFP
Rusty Klophaus will be at the Commercial Users of Functional Programming (CUFP) Event taking place this weekend in Baltimore, Maryland. His talk is called "Riak Core: Building Distributed Applications Without Shared State" and it should be downright amazing.
From the talk's description: Both Riak KV (a key-value datastore and map/reduce platform) and Riak Search (a Solr-compatible full-text search and indexing engine) are built around a library called Riak Core that manages the mechanics of running a distributed application in a cluster without requiring a central coordinator or shared state. Using Riak Core, these applications can scale to hundreds of servers, handle enterprise-sized amounts of data, and remain operational in the face of server failure.
All the details on his talk can be found here.
And, in case you haven't been following your Riak Core developments, check out Building Distributed Systems with Riak Core.
Dave Smith at the Ninth ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop
Dave Smith (a.k.a "Dizzyd") will be keynoting the ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop taking place on Friday, Sept 30th, also in Baltimore. Dave's talk is called "Rebar, Bitcask and how chemotherapy made me a better developer."
Rebar and Bitcask are both pieces of software that Dizzy had a major hand in creating and they have played a huge role in Riak's adoption (not to mention that Rebar has quickly become an indispensable tool for Erlang developers everywhere). Dave was also fighting follicular lymphoma while writing a lot of this code. Needless to say, this one is sure to be memorable and of immense value.
More details on his talk can be found here.
It should also be noted that newly-minted Basho Developer Scott Fritchie is the Workshop Chair for this event. He is an accomplished Erlang developer and Riak is not the only distributed key/value store about which Scott is passionate – he will also happily talk your ear off about Hibari.
Justin Sheehy at Surge
Just when you thought they couldn't fit another conference in Baltimore on the same weekend… And this one is big: it's the Surge Conference put on by the team at OmniTI. Basho will be there in the form of CTO Justin Sheehy.
Justin will be giving a talk about concurrency at scale, something about which every distributed systems developer should care deeply. Additionally, he will be taking part in a panel discussion – I haven't seen an official name for it yet but rumor has it that it's something along the lines of "SQL versus NoSQL."
Check out the Surge site for more conference details.
As you can see, Baltimore is the place to be this weekend. Get there at all costs. And then go download Riak.
Webinar Recap – Riak in Action with Wriaki
August 20, 2010
Thank you to those who attended our webinar yesterday. Like before, we're recapping the questions below for everyone's sake (in no particular order).
Q: How would solve full text search with the current versions of Riak? One could also take Wriaki as an example as most wikis have some sort of fulltext search functionality.
I recommend using existing fulltext solutions. Solr has matched up well with most of the web applications I have written, and would certainly work for Wriaki as well.
Q: Where in the course of the interaction (shown on slide 18) are you defining the client ID? Don't you need the client ID and vclock to match between updates?
On slide 42, we talk about "actors" which are essentially client IDs. Using the logged-in user as the client ID can help prevent vclock explosion and is a sensible way of structuring your updates.
— Bryan

• Dependability: A commitment to live up to your promises so that those with whom you interact can be confident of your integrity.
• Problem solving: The process of examining potential options and outcomes and selecting a course of action with the best possible outcome.
• Adaptability: One must be flexible and adjust to changing conditions.
• Independence: The ability to act individually without supervision or direction, and to take ownership and be creative. Independence is tied to risk taking, goal setting and being responsible for one's actions.
• Respect: This traditional core value is closely tied to both the Golden Rule and self-esteem. Individuals with respect for themselves and others are foundational to healthy societies. Individuals should show appropriate deference to property and authority and care about their health, fitness and hygiene. Other things tied to respect for others include maintaining a sense of fairness, appreciating diversity, and recognizing honest differing opinions and a sense of fairness.
• Morality: An internal compass that differentiates between right from wrong, good from evil, and the ultimate consequences of our actions. Moral conduct allows for the acceptance of a higher supreme authority.
Without these core values at the root of our society we will continue down a path that rewards taking shortcuts, cutting corners, slacking off, taking the easy way out, making excuses, and blaming everyone else when things don't work out as you would like.
The qualities listed above must be taught from an early age, practiced and further developed by being held accountable in the schools years and then fully applied in adulthood.
If we truly practiced and rewarded these values, we would see far less cheating, violence, and drug use, and have a far more accountable governmental system than we have today. Today, spinning reality and the truth is an artform.
I believe the problems we see in society today can be corrected if we realize that our drift away from these core values has played a significant role in the decline of our nation. I hope readers will consider the impact of that decline on our children's generations. Their lives will be rooted in the steps we take today.

Commission sets out first finance proposals for Copenhagen pact on climate change.
In an effort to end an impasse in international climate talks, the commission has published a plan for financing the fight against global warming in developing countries. It proposes an EU contribution of between €2bn and €15bn a year by 2020.
The plan provides a starting point for discussions in the parliament and council to define the EU's position on one of the toughest issues facing the UN climate conference in Copenhagen in December.
With just three months to go, international negotiations to prepare for the conference have stalled over the question of how to help developing countries adapt to and limit global warming.
The EU and other economic powers agree on the need to help defray the costs of reducing greenhouse gases emitted by developing countries. But there is still no consensus on what those costs are and how much should be borne by developed nations.
The costs of containing global warming are expected to soar in years to come. The EU estimates that developing countries will need €100bn a year by 2020 to prevent average global temperatures from rising more than 2°C. That threshold is important because it minimises the risk of dangerous runaway climate change.
The commission calculates that between €22bn and €50bn in international public funding will be needed, with each country's contribution based on its responsibility for emissions and its ability to pay. In the EU's case, the contribution could be between €2bn and €15bn a year by 2020. The rest would come from other industrialised nations and advanced developing nations like China and India.
The proposal also calls for an EU contribution of between €500 million and €2.1bn for 2010-12, but given the importance of acting quickly, the commission is suggesting more.
The aim of the conference in December is to produce a new and more ambitious global commitment to tackling climate change. The current treaty, the Kyoto Protocol, expires at the end of 2012.
Kyoto placed no demands on developing countries, but now industrialised countries want emerging economies like India and China to join in and eventually cut emissions.
The UN is convening a world summit later this month to discuss climate change.
