For the first time, the OpenStack® Summit is coming to Europe. The 10th OpenStack Summit will be held November 3-7, 2014 at the Palais de Congrès and the Le Meridien in Paris. This week-long event brings together users, developers, telco leaders and enterprise CIOs from across the industry to collaborate on the future of cloud computing.
The OpenStack Summit Paris will offer keynote presentations, breakout sessions and workshops focused on business value, deployment case studies, devops best practices, and technical how-tos showcasing momentum in the OpenStack user community and developing the roadmap for the 11th release of the software, set for spring 2015.
More than 1,100 submissions were received in the call for papers, covering topic areas including:
- Cloud application developers and applications
- Telco cloud strategies, including network function virtualization (NFV)
- Enterprise case studies and best practices on the path to enterprise cloud adoption
- Data sovereignty and privacy issues
Session voting is now live, allowing OpenStack community members to browse the speaking submissions by category and provide their feedback.
Information on discounted rates for early registrations as well as sponsorship information can be found at the OpenStack Summit Paris website.
Europe Big Component of OpenStack Community Growth
The Summit draws thousands of participants from around the world. The most recent installment of the twice-annual Summit was held in May, in Atlanta, Georgia, and drew more than 4,500 users, developers and CIOs from service providers, major telcos and enterprises. A video recap of the Atlanta summit and session videos and slides demonstrate the depth of user engagement and energy surrounding the community.
The OpenStack community is global, and Europe is one of the strongest user and industry ecosystems. Paris has one of the most active local user groups, and the city is home to an established OpenStack event series that has brought together cloud computing pioneers. Across Europe, government interest in open source and cloud is growing, and OpenStack has seen strong telco and carrier adoption across the continent partially driven by data sovereignty issues.

Respond to Review of Loving Hut - Honolulu South King St
by QuothTheRaven
Review: To begin with, the lady running the restaurant was very sweet and friendly when we first walked in. The only problem was, it happened that many people decided to all show up at the same time. She mentioned that she was missing two staff, one was on his way. I could tell she seemed stressed and didn't know how she was going to cover all the orders. Her second employee showed up eventually which was a good thing. The problem I had was that she was filling orders by dish, rather than by who arrived first and table. I understand the logic behind it but it made it very inconvenient as I ended up being the last of the 4 of us to get my meal and everyone had finished long before. I also watched all the other tables experiencing the same problem. On a plus side, the food was delicious once I finally got it! I'd definitely go again but hope that they get more organized.

June 03, 2016 at 7:30 PM Christine Stedman
Christine can best be described as one funny mother! She has a husband, a twenty-something son who lives at home, a divorced daughter and three grand-kids. This gives her a full portfolio of material to draw from. A lot of people ask Chris why she began a career in comedy so late in life. Well, it's not a coincidence that she started immediately after her daughter began having babies! Chris does not like to baby-sit! Sure, traveling around the country telling jokes to drunks in smoky nightclubs was not the most practical way to get out of baby-sitting, but she decided it was definitely worth a try. (It was either that, or go to truck-driving school and she hates the way she looks in flannel shirts! ) So far, this desperate attempt to distance herself from family obligations has worked out quite nicely. She's come a long way from her early years in comedy.
She currently headlines in some of the top clubs in the country and has become a favorite at "The Comedy Stop" in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. In 2006, she was chosen to compete in Nick at Nite's Search for the Funniest Mom in America. She appeared in six episodes and made it all the way to the finale where it came down to only 5 finalists. Ok, she didn't win—-but just ask anyone who has seen her perform and they will tell you that she is definitely one funny mother!

Vaccine May Stop Immune Attack in Type 1 Diabetes
By Serena Gordon
HealthDay Reporter
WEDNESDAY, June 26 (HealthDay News) -- A new type of vaccine may stop the autoimmune attack that occurs in people with type 1 diabetes, researchers report.
Although an initial trial of the vaccine wasn't able to free anyone from their daily insulin injections, it did boost insulin production, which could help prevent some of type 1 diabetes' most devastating complications.
Instead of increasing the immune system's activity like the polio or influenza vaccine does, the new vaccine turns off a portion of the immune response, acting as a reverse vaccine. The researchers were able to isolate a part of the immune response that only seems to be involved with type 1 diabetes, according to the study. That means the vaccine likely wouldn't have the risks that medications that suppress the immune system do.
"We were able to destroy the rogue cells that are attacking the insulin-producing cells without destroying any other part of the immune system, and that's truly exciting," said senior study author Dr. Lawrence Steinman, a professor of pediatrics and neurology and neurological sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine.
"Once the immune attack is stopped, I believe there's great potential for recovery in the beta cells," Steinman added.
Beta cells in the pancreas produce the hormone insulin. In people with type 1 diabetes, it's believed that the immune system mistakenly destroys the healthy beta cells, leaving the person with no or too little insulin.
Insulin is a crucial hormone because it's involved in the metabolism of the carbohydrates. It allows the glucose (sugar) from those carbohydrates to fuel the cells in the body and brain. Without enough insulin, a person will die. That's why people with type 1 diabetes must take multiple daily injections of insulin, or deliver insulin through a catheter inserted under the skin that's attached to an insulin pump.
The vaccine was designed by changing a piece of immune-system DNA so that it would shut down the immune system's response to signals in the body that have previously triggered the mistaken destruction of beta cells. These signals come from fragments of a protein (peptides) called proinsulin, which is found on the surface of beta cells. Proinsulin is a precursor to insulin.

German's must be getting pretty annoyed with the constant barrage of technology injunctions. This time around -- and it's hard to keep up -- it's Motorola's Android devices that are subject to a sales ban.

Microsoft tries its final gambit in winning a patent lawsuit with Microsoft as the patent violator.

It appears as though the first patent suit against Linux -- targeting Red Hat and Novell -- is now official. According to Groklaw's Pamela Jones: IP Innovation LLC has just filed a patent infringement claim against Red Hat and Novell.
According to lawyers from Google, IBM, Apple, and two respected IP law firms, the patent system needs help, it's more important than ever to think about protecting innovations early and often, open source and proprietary technologies can and should happily co-exist, and changes are in the offing that promise to improve the patent situation for players both large and small in the IT arena.

Novell has claimed that The SCO Group, the licensing and consulting firm conducting various legal campaigns over the Linux operating system, is about to go bankrupt.

Buckeyes help work on school
Published 12:00 am Friday, June 13, 2003
The Buckeye Baptist Builders have a mission to build things that help spread the word of Jesus.
Although they usually build new additions or help renovate churches, this week they have been working on the new Christian Academy located in the old Fruit of the Loom building on 421.
This is the first time the missionary group has helped with construction work on a school, but they felt it was an important job, said group leader Steve Bottoms.
"Love is action," Bottoms said. "I think that's clear in scripture and I think this is a clear example of love in action."
Bottoms, who is a professional homebuilder, said for the past 18 years, the group has spent a week out of each year working on churches around the United States as well as in places such as Brazil, Costa Rica, Russia, Korea, Japan and Kosovo.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers will be without three key players on offense in Sunday's game against Detroit.
Running back James Starks (knee/ankle), receiver/kick returner Randall Cobb (groin) and receiver Greg Jennings (knee), who has missed the last two games, won't play in the regular-season finale.
Coach Mike McCarthy would not say Friday whether quarterback Aaron Rodgers will sit the game out. The Packers have already wrapped up the top seed in the NFC playoffs.
The Packers also listed right tackle Bryan Bulaga (knee) as doubtful. Linebacker Clay Matthews (ankle) and cornerback Charles Woodson (knee) are listed as questionable.

Shumpert (sprained shoulder) questionable
By Ian Begley
NEW YORK -- Knicks guard
Iman Shumpert
suffered a sprained right shoulder in the first quarter of Tuesday's game against the Celtics and is questionable to return.
Shumpert dealt with shoulder soreness in training camp but has remained relatively healthy throughout the season, playing in every game this season.
Iman Shumpert scored four points before leaving early in the first quarter.
If Shumpert were out for an extended period of time,
J.R. Smith
Tim Hardaway Jr.
would likely replace him in the lineup.
He suffered the injury with 7:55 to play in the first quarter and did not come out for the second quarter.
In other injury news, veteran Knicks forward
Kenyon Martin
returned after a five-game absence due to a left ankle injury. Martin aggravated the injury against the Pacers on Jan. 16.
"Just overuse," the 36-year-old Martin said. "Been going every day and playing a lot of minutes. Just needed a break. Not one thing happened. Just been fighting through it, fighting through it, fighting through it, and the body lets you know. So at my age, you got to listen."
Martin's return didn't last long. He limped off to the locker room late in the second quarter after apparently tweaking his ankle.
Martin has missed eight games this season due to left ankle issues. His minutes early in the season were limited due to soreness in his ankle. He first hurt it last April.

Close to Rembrand square.
There was no reception and the owner wasn't there to open the door. Apart from this the hotel doesn't deserve the classification Bed&breakfast, because there is no breakfast!
The localization
The WC is too small and the toilet too high for spanish people !!!
Great location and design and breakfast! Very frienly host, who made breakfast available half an hour before the official start!
Breakfast starting from 08:30 is rather late for Business travellers - who would certainly like this B&B a lot otherwise!
The perfect situation,and the confort of the room.
Several things:The stairs are too steep,the WC has no door for intimicy and the breakfast with no many choices.
Beautiful house, great design, very comfortable (comfy beds, spacious room), felt just so relaxed:-) There is everything you need (towels, hair dryer, heating...)
We could hear running water and flushing from the room next to ours.
Very nice host. Very convenient public transportation to city center. Very nice room.
This place is a gem ! Perfect location. Staff super friendly. Room is small but very very clean and charming.
Bed was sooooo comfy!!!
Nothing this place rocks! I will be back for sure!
the location is right in the centre of the red light district, close to all shops, the rooms was really unusual and chic
Bar and eating area were cool to hang and chill. The beds were a bit firm but I did not mind. Having to keep riding the ferry was a bit much but if you factor that into your commute you should be good. Currently there is a ton of construction on all sides which hindered me finding it the first time but once I found the bridge I was good.
