Cloud Expo New York $500 Savings here!
Hadoop, MapReduce, Hive, Hbase, Lucene, Solr? The only thing growing faster than enterprise data these days is the landscape of big data tools. These tools, which are designed to help organizations turn big data into opportunities, are gaining deeper insight into massive volumes of information. A recent Gartner report predicts that enterprise data will increase by 650% over the next five years, which means that the time is now for IT decision makers to determine which big data tools are the best - and most cost-effective - for their organization.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, David Lucas, Chief Strategy Officer at GCE, will run through what enterprises really need to know about the growing set of big data tools - including those being leveraged by organizations today as well as the new and innovative tools just arriving on the scene. He will also help attendees gain greater insight on how to match the right data center tools to a specific enterprise challenge and what processes need to change to handle big data.

4.03 Advice - Poem by Munindra (Munnan) Misra
Knowing the answer advice is asked generally,
Following the same be rare unquestionably,
After giving it do ever be indifferent perfectly,
And never expect it to be followed truthfully. [1]
In giving advice seek to help - not please only,
Most receive advice but profit from it hardly,
Advice received should not be framed clearly,
Its implementation be the solution surely. [2]
Advice uncalled for should never be given,
Advice from person in difficulty not taken,
Keep advice from loved ones - even unpleasant,
Never advise on war, marriage or such event. [3]
Advice from friends receive open mindedly,
Never give up to it or follow it blindly,
Whether right or wrong grasp totally,
With judicious reserve comprehend fully. [4]
If asked for advice - give wholeheartedly,
Even if knowing its acceptance be failingly,
For in giving the same it helps your clarity,
Showing your own life's path - so lucidly. [5]

Preparing for severe weather season
Preparing for severe weather season
Posted 3/15/2013 Updated 3/15/2013
Email story
Print story
by Donovan Jackson
Air University Public Affairs
3/15/2013 -
MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala.
-- Spring is approaching and with it so are the threats of severe weather conditions and fierce storms brought by the impending tornado and hurricane season.
There are many ways to prepare for the chance of extreme weather. Taking the necessary precautions and listening for weather alerts can prove beneficial when faced with severe weather conditions.
"Although March through May is this region's season for severe weather, we are also susceptible to erratic weather during any month of the year," said David Scott, manager of the Maxwell weather office.
Base personal are consistently informed of severe weather within range via the siren system, the telephone alerting system and computer pop-ups.
Along with the various warning methods for severe weather conditions, safety drills and knowing what to do in case of weather threats also help to ensure safety during the tornado and hurricane season.
"The base always tries to be prepared for the possibility of harsh weather. This is a reason why it regularly conducts precautionary exercises," said Mark Garner, deputy director of safety at the 42nd Air Base Wing.
"The exercises are important and should be taken very seriously," Garner said. "You do not want to let the one time you chose not to take a storm warning seriously be the day of a serious storm."
Although Maxwell and Gunter conduct the necessary steps to be prepared for severe weather, according to the base emergency management supervisor, Ronnie Moore, tornadoes and high winds are the biggest threat to the two installations.
These damaging winds are common when the front of a severe thunderstorm moves through the region.
"All we really need to do in order to remain safe is to know how to respond and what actions to take during the presence of tornadoes and high winds or any other potential weather threat," Moore said.
In a house, dorm or apartment
In the event of a potential tornado, seek shelter immediately. If an underground shelter such as a storm cellar or basement is not available, take shelter in a small center room on the lowest level away from windows.
Avoid loose doors, unsupported roofs and windows.
In a vehicle
If in a vehicle during a tornado, exit and seek the nearest building for shelter as vehicles are extremely dangerous during a tornado. Never attempt to flee from a tornado in a vehicle.
If unable to find shelter quickly and safely, then pull over on the side of the road and run to a low-lying area away from cars or any other structures that can be easily carried or destroyed by a tornado. Lay flat, face down, and protect the back of your head with your arms.
At work
If at work, shut down computers and, if needed, secure classified information. Go directly to your designated shelter area. If you are unsure about where you would take shelter at work, refer to MAFBVA 10-4 located on your facility bulletin boards.
Crouch as low to the floor as possible, facing down, and cover your head with your hands. Continue to monitor weather reports and wait for further instructions from authority figures.

True Potential by samuelkowal906Watch

Wallpaper I made of Star War's mechanical General Grievous. What if Grievous had taken a cue from Darth Maul and used double bladed sabers? This may have been what Obi-Wan may have seen right before he crapped himself. The ultimate lightsaber wielding machine. Sorry its so small, but if enough people like it I may go back and make a bigger version.
ha haa! most definitely my fine, fine sir. <3
if he had used all those lightsabers he would still be alive.
ROFL XD That idea is awsome!!! Did you know that grievous also has appendages that separate from his legs? so add two more double-bladed sabers and that'd be 14 blades at one time!!! lol
Grievous is awesome. I have to show this to my friends.
Grievous is awesome. I have to show this to my friends.
I never knew that, but I guess it makes sense lol I may have to redo this with that idea
Grevious didnt have the force. theres an enormous chance he'd cut himself to pieces. unless also somehow trained by mace windu, palpatine, yoda, and cin drallig. but it would be eaiser if he had the force. sorry, i had to rant. the idea though. IS SICK!!!!!!! lol :-p

Army Sniper School comes to Fort Bliss
March 6, 2012
By Sgt. Roger Daniels, 16th MPAD
The young Solider settles himself, locks and loads a 7.62 mm round into his powerful rifle and takes aim. About 30 meters from the Soldier, is a piece of cardboard with a tuna can-sized hole. On the other side of the cardboard, stands a man-sized target 600 meters away.
His task is to successfully shoot the round through the small hole and hit the target.
How does he gain the ability, confidence, and knowledge to complete this task? He graduates from the U.S. Army Sniper School.
On March 8, 22 Soldiers -- 15 from Fort Bliss and seven who are stationed in Hawaii -- became Army snipers after graduating from the five-week course. The course started Feb. 5 with 44 Soldiers, including 14 from Hawaii.
Normally Soldiers have to travel to Fort Benning, Ga. to attend the sniper school. Instead, five instructors travelled to Fort Bliss to conduct the course.
"This [the course held at Fort Bliss] offers more of a one-on-one setting," said Sgt. 1st Class Richard Vest, a Springfield, Mo., native and senior instructor of the course. "These guys learn a lot of stuff in five weeks."
According to the Army, the average Soldier will hit a man-sized target 10 percent of the time at 300 meters using the M16A2 rifle. Graduates of the sniper school are expected to achieve 90 percent first-round hits at 600 meters using the M24 or M110 Sniper Weapon Systems.
"This [becoming a sniper] is why I joined the Army. It's been my life-long dream," said Sgt Alex Devenberg, an infantryman with Headquarters & Headquarters Company, 4th Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division.
Besides learning how to shoot rounds through a tiny hole, Devenberg and his fellow classmates also learned how to use four different sniper weapon systems to detect, determine accurate distance and shoot at several types of targets. They also learned how to camouflage themselves and write a sniper team mission statement.
While each unit is authorized three snipers, a sniper mission usually consists of a two-man team -- a shooter and a spotter.
"They usually put the most senior guy as the spotter," said Spc. Robert Cotter, who is the shooter, while Sgt. Devenberg is his spotter.
"All I do [as the shooter] is pull the trigger," said Cotter, a Morgantown, N.C., native and a member of HHC, 4/17th, 1st BCT, 1st AD.
Before Cotter pulls the trigger, Devenberg -- as his spotter - will set the distance and wind adjustments necessary to hit the target.
The role of both members of a sniper team is important in graduating the course, as well as to their unit.
"It is the only school in the Army where your partner can fail you out," Vest said.
Vest said a sniper team is one of the most valuable tools a company commander has during combat.
"They are the eyes and ears of the unit, and they can break the enemy's morale," said Vest.
According to 1st Sgt. Jason Pitman, B Co., 3rd Battalion, 41st Infantry Regiment, 1st BCT, 1st AD, the Army has between 500 and 800 snipers, making it one the toughest schools to attend and successfully complete. He said the selection process can be as hard as the school itself.
"You basically pick the best shooters in the unit," Pitman said. "They have to be mature Soldiers, someone who can be left alone for awhile, up to 72 hours. They have to be mature enough to take the shot. They're the only Soldiers who can shoot without getting permission from a commander."

Gay veterans want to march 'openly' in Boston's St. Patrick's Day parade
Agreement has not been reached with parade organizers; issue is whether and how members of the group can identify themselves in the parade.

BOSTON—A gay rights advocacy group said Monday it is pushing for gay people to be allowed to march "openly and honestly" in Boston's St. Patrick's Day parade this month, but an agreement has not been reached with parade organizers.
It appeared Saturday as if Boston Mayor Martin Walsh had brokered a deal between MassEquality and parade organizers to allow gay military veterans to march under the group's banner, but the deal was not finalized even after both sides met Sunday. The issue is whether and how members of the group can identify themselves in the parade.
"LGBT people need to be able to identify themselves as LGBT people. It's as simple as that," MassEquality executive director Kara Coredini said Monday. "There are a lot of ways that can be done, and that is a conversation we're having now with organizers."

A similar issue is playing out in New York City, where Mayor Bill de Blasio is skipping the nation's largest St. Patrick's Day parade because participants are not allowed to carry signs or banners identifying themselves as gay.
Tim Duross, the Boston parade co-ordinator, said the parade sponsor, the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council, is willing to allow the gay veterans to march with the MassEquality banner, but he said the veterans are insisting that they be able to carry signs and wear T-shirts identifying themselves as gay.
Duross said organizers want the focus of the parade to be on celebrating St. Patrick's Day.
"The fact that they need to identify themselves as openly gay veterans is kind of where the stalemate lies. I don't know why that's so important in this parade," Duross said. "We are not planning romances here. We are just putting on a parade."
Duross said the parade sponsors plan to discuss the MassEquality request during a meeting Tuesday night.
The mayor said all parties "remain optimistic that a solution can be reached to allow for an inclusive celebration."
The parade sponsor has had a history of turning away organized gay groups.
In 1992 and 1993, state courts forced the group to allow the Irish-American Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Group of Boston to march in the parade. In 1994, the group cancelled the parade rather than allow the gay group to participate.

Sanders was part of 1963 March on WashingtonAugust 25,2013Sanders was part of 1963 march
Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., was among more than 200,000 people who gathered at the Lincoln Memorial for the March on Washington 50 years ago to hear the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. deliver his I Have a Dream speech.
Sanders was a 22-year-old college student.
Since then, he said, there has been real progress in breaking down barriers of discrimination and segregation, including the election and re-election of an African-American president.
But Sanders said the country is worse off in unemployment, low wages and wealth disparity.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Foreigners who had been banking on their development investments in Vermont to get...

This will be a close game, and making the most of each offensive possession will
be the deciding factor in whether or not BYU wins it. I think they will,
Chris B must be slipping. He is more excited about BYU articles than any of us. I can't believe 17 minutes have passed without his inane babble. Prediction: He will claim a BYU loss due to "lack of speed", and then his excuse tomorrow after BYU wins will be "Ole Miss is terrible".

Any SEC team is good - better athletes , bigger and faster. Add to this the humidity and the big fan base and you have a potential blow out. BYU always starts slow so I suspect we will see something like 5 turnovers for the Y and a half time score of 28 - 3 for Ole Miss. BYU will wake up in the second half and the game will end 35 - 17 for ole Miss. Too much speed, too many athletes and too much humidity.

BYU always starts slow plus they are playing in killer humidity plus they are playing an SEC team that is loaded with future NFL talent. 35-17 for Ole Miss. If the game were in Provo at 5000 feet then I would say 28-27 for BYU.

If we don't score more than 30, that probably means we're either turning it over or Ole Miss has the ball for very long periods. If we score 21 or 24 points, then I'm a bit worried. I think we need to score 35 or so to win.

The rotating options look strong, with junior college transfer Hebron Fangupo, 6-1, 331, leading the way.

BYU is favored by 3 points. Look for the cougs to air it out and take on that

So like most professional athletes, Ravens offensive lineman Bryant McKinnie apparently likes strip club. A lot. But Bryant McKinnie apparently does not like spending his own money at strip clubs. So apparently he ran up a $375,000 bill to a Mr. Charles "Pop" Young, who just so happens to be Trick Daddy's father, whenever he frequented strip clubs in Miami. McKinnie promised to repay Young the money, but never did. And now Young is suing McKinnie "to recover the money plus interest, as well as his costs." Former Miami Hurricanes All-American Bryant McKinnie owes the father of rapping superstar Trick Daddy $375,000 for bills run up at South Florida strip clubs, a new lawsuit says. The rapper's father, Charles "Pop" Young, filed the lawsuit in Miami-Dade Circuit Court Monday afternoon. Young says that McKinnie, who is currently an offensive lineman for the NFL's Baltimore Ravens, racked up big bills at the strip clubs between February 2009 and September 2010, borrowing the money from ...

A History of Freedom of Speech in the
United States
Strong judicial protection of speech is a worthy tradition. It is also a comparatively
recent one. For much of American history,… many judges have been less protective
of free speech…., [and] at crucial times in American history the nation lias failed to
live up to its free speech and democratic ideals.
Michael Kent Curtis*
It is one of the great paradoxes of the American Revolution that the revolutionaries fought for independence in the name of liberties that they owed to their mother country. Americans of the Revolutionary Era cherished individual liberty as their special birthright as English subjects. They turned against England only when they became convinced that their liberty had become imperiled by the corruption of imperial power over them. American revolutionaries believed they were fighting for, not against, the true principles of British constitutionalism.
In order to understand the origins of the American commitment to freedom of speech, then, it is profitable to first take a quick look at England before the American Revolution.1 For virtually all of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, what the English called "freedom of speech" referred to the hard-won immunity from prosecution enjoyed by members of Parliament for the statements they made during floor debate. Freedom of speech, in this original English understanding, was thus a parliamentary privilege rather than an individual right. Open debate on the issues of the day was reserved for the people's representatives. The people themselves, as subjects of the realm, were expected to content themselves with listening—silently—to that debate. The United States Constitution incorporated this early

Saint Lenny
Amidst all the commentary and talking-head punditry concerning the Duck Dynasty business of recent days, I've yet to read or hear spoken a name that always pops into my head when such controversies arise. That would be the legendary hipster junkie comic (or as Walter Winchell described him "vomic"), Lenny Bruce (1925-1966). Though while Lenny's travails were notably different from Phil Robertson's present trouble (which is not a First Amendment issue), it is interesting to note that the latter's supporters are mostly conservatives, while the former garnered the support of the liberal cultural establishment of his day.

The Deal: BATS, Direct Edge Take Swing at Incumbents
The Deal) -- BATS Global Markets Inc. and Direct Edge Holdings have agreed to merge in a deal that will leapfrog the exchange operators ahead of Nasdaq OMX Group (NDAQ - Get Report) as the second-largest U.S. equity trading venue. The new company will have its headquarters in Kansas City, where BATS is currently located, and sit just behind NYSE Euronext (NYX), which has the largest market share of U.S. equity trading at close to 30%.Nasdaq has a 16% share, while BATS and Direct Edge will have a combined share of around 21%. BATS chief executive Joe Ratterman will remain in his role with Direct Edge chief executive William O'Brien to act as president. Financial terms for the all-stock deal were not disclosed. The merger is subject to regulatory approval and set to close in the first half of 2014. "This agreement is an important milestone for the US equities market and other markets around the globe as it will combine two organizations that have been innovative in creating a more competitive marketplace to benefit all investors," said Mr Ratterman. Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. equity research analyst Brad Hintz said the deal would pressure the market shares of the NYSE and Nasdaq "because clearing of equity trades is a utility, the equity exchange business model has become a very competitive, scale business with no barriers to entry," he said. Combining the exchanges would enable more volume to be sent across a single technology platform and reduce the cost per trade, Hintz noted. This would allow the BATS/Direct Edge venue to pass through savings and ultimately capture more volume, he said. Much global exchange consolidation is being driven by a desire to combine flagging cash-equity trading revenues with increasingly popular derivative products. Last week's trading glitch and resulting shutdown in trading for all Nasdaq securities for three hours prompted questions over market integrity. IntercontinentalExchange Inc. is working to complete its agreed $10.2 billion acquisition of NYSE Euronext, announced in December. Last year, Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Ltd. bought the London Metal Exchange Ltd. for $2.2 billion. Tokyo Stock Exchange Group Inc. --once a key venue for foreign company listings--combined its cash equities business with the growing derivatives platform of the Osaka Securities Exchange Co. Ltd. through a merger in January.NEW YORK (

Ive been pretty busy last couple of days trying to build a lowracer. I started this project months ago, and I got as far as building a jig. I gave up then so I could concerntrate on training for a 24hr race. Anyways, after a bit of inspiration from lowracer1, Im back into it and am progressing without a problem.
The Jig
The jig cost me $15 to build. I got some scrap square from 2nd hand place and put it together. The base of the jig represents the ground surface, so there's no guessing how high or low it will sit when on wheels. The angle of the headset jig is 63*. I made life very easy for myself by tacking in a "dummy front fork". The fork is permanently set at 63*, and all I do is place my headset case onto the fork and Im ready to go. I worked out my ride height with a simple brick placed on the jig surface. The bottom bracket case is just a hole drilled through the angle steel. A machined "BB jig thingy" is place inside the BB and keeps it true. A bolt then goes through the "BB jig thingy" and sits snugly in the holes in the angle steel.
My progress so far; Mainframe
1st thing I done was grab the forks off a MTB frame. These will house my rear wheels. I've kept the original dropouts in place, as I believe I can manipulate and add to these to make sure the wheel will never fall out under heavy load. I've then tacked the spine into place, making it as level as possible with the jig surface with the help of my trusty brick
Next the tube leading up to the headset from the spine was tacked in place. Im using 1 1/2" mild steel tube for the entire mainframe. The wheel you see in the picture simply bolts on to the jig and allows me t size up how much room I have left before the tube touches the wheel. Pretty agricultural, yet very effective and easy
Finally the boom was tacked on yesterday and then I pulled it out of the jig. I couldn't work out how at 1st, but with a slight flex of the "dummy forks", the whole frame popped out without any trouble. After that I welded it together carefully, and here's what I've ended up with at this stage;
So I guess Im progressing OK. I will add metal plate in some areas, to help in strengthening the mainframe, but that will come later. So far the frame cost me $15, and most of that was in purchasing the tubeing.
So do any Lowraceing riders have any tips for futhur progress? Your opinions and thoughts on my progress are appreaciated.
Next time: Working out my drivetrain path

I'd sure appreciate some pointers, especially on applying the seatmast decal and getting the carrier sheet removed. I've got a second set ordered from Waterford for a '65 chrome Paramount, and I'd like things to go a little better than they did with the first set.
It seems like the backing on these decals is almost impossible to remove without ruining everything. I've put new decals on other bikes without many problems, so I'm sure I'm missing a step somewhere with these.
Any tips would be most welcome -

Japan Dominates Region's Economy, but China Is Awake Asia Is the World's Most Economically Dynamic Region. Countries Are Hungry for Foreign Investment, and Big Players like Japan and the US Are Racing to Provide It. an Economic Powerhouse Is Emerging from Cooperation among China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Today the Monitor Continues a Series on the Competition for Regional Power. Series: CONTEST OVER ASIA. Part 2 of 4 Part Series. First of Four Articles Appearing Today
Clayton Jones, writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
FROM his skyscraper office in Singapore, Mikio Nomura of Toyota Motor Corporation directs one of Japan's new little empires in Asia.
As he describes it, he is in charge of "piecing markets together, country by country" in Southeast Asia for the world's third largest automaker.
In a division-of-labor scheme, Toyota makes vehicle parts in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, then assembles vehicles in each country, selling about one-fifth of Toyota's total overseas production and earning one-fifth of the market in those countries.
Toyota's strategy of tying together different markets has produced the kind of penetration of Asia that has helped many big Japanese firms to dominate the world's most economically dynamic region. Another reason, says Mr. Nomura, is that "we've been here longer. This is our backyard."
Japan's trade and investment boom of the 1980s is one reason why intra-Asian trade now exceeds Asia's trade with the rest of the world. Japan also helped build up trade across the Pacific to the point where it began to exceed trade across the Atlantic in 1983.
But Japan's shadow over Asia is relatively new, and vulnerable to two big opponents: a Chinese economy growing more than 10 percent a year and a United States showing new aggressiveness under President Clinton to expand exports to Asia, even as the US remains the largest import market for many Asian nations.
For now, Japan provides the "core" economy for much of Asia. Malaysia, for instance, has become the world's biggest exporter of air conditioners, all made in Japanese factories. The car market in Thailand is 90 percent Japanese.
In China, too, Japan has led an investment wave in big projects. The Japanese-owned Yaohan retailing company, for instance, plans to open 1,000 supermarkets across China by the year 2010.
Japanese dominance in Asia has been helped along by bureaucrats in Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), which readily gives advice to Asian nations on how to shape their economies. Thailand's Chulalongkorn University, for instance, is tripling its engineering faculty to produce thousands more engineers, mainly for the dozens of Japanese factories around Bangkok.
MITI officials often speak of Japan's role in Asia as the lead goose in a flying-V formation, guiding other nations in forming a cohesive regional economy - with Japan always in front.
For 17 Asian nations, Japan is the largest aid donor. Last year, Tokyo put 65 percent of its $11.15 billion in foreign aid into Asia, with about one-fifth of it tied to benefit Japanese companies.
Asia's rapid growth of 6-7 percent a year and its low wages are the main attraction for Japan. Firms can get about a 5 percent return on sales in Asia, far more than in Europe or the US, according to MITI, although volumes are still low.
In 1991, Japan made $4 billion in profits in Asia compared to a loss of $1.5 billion in the Americas and Europe. And last year, Japanese investment dropped 25 percent in North America but rose by 4 percent in Southeast Asia, and jumped 260 percent in China.
"The competition in Asia for the 1990s is economic, not military strength," says Zakaria Haji Ahmad, a University of Malaya security expert. Communism's decline has opened up large new markets in China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and to some extent, Burma and even North Korea. India, too, has begun to release its economy from a socialist straitjacket. Half the planet is now hungry for foreign investment, and Japan is the richest capitalist around.
"Japan has already won the markets here. They got a head start and are about two to three steps ahead of the US," Dr. Ahmad says.
But do Asians welcome Japan's economic advance? And will China ever rise up as a regional competitor?
While many Asian nations welcome Japanese investment, they do so reluctantly, instead wishing for Western investment because it usually comes with fewer strings attached. …

John Krasinski wants to be Matt Damon's best friend.
'The Office' USA star - who first met the 'We Bought A Zoo' actor through his British wife Emily Blunt when she filmed the movie 'The Adjustment Bureau' with him in 2011 - thinks the father-of-four is the coolest guy in Hollywood and is jealous of his best pal Ben Affleck.
The 33-year-old actor told People.com: ''Matt is one of the coolest guys I know, and I'm totally in love with the guy, but he doesn't even know my name.
''I would love to have a bromance with him, but I don't even know if I could even use the word 'bromance' because he and Ben are so tight and like a married couple that I'll never get in there.
''I must be the bromance mistress. I'm on the outside of the relationship, only working with him on the side while really he's suppose to be with Ben. I'm clearly the mistress and this has got to change!''
John stars with Matt in their new movie 'Promised Land'.

This Sabre Android Dac has a MicroUSB cable instead of a usb cable and works with some Android phones without any drivers or tweaks.
Current tested confirmed models include:
Not working:
Cyanogenmod doesn't always work, a customer got it working by switching to "Resurrection Remix" ROM (unknown kernel)
please let us know if you have tested it with other phones, and we'll update the list.
No settings needs to be changed on Samsung phones. Volume up/down keys controls volume in the same way as for the regular output.
The Android Dac is the same DAC as the "Tiny" model. It uses a PCM2706 USB receiver chip and the Sabre ES9023 dac chip.
Model:UAE Tiny Android
Hi, I am interested in this DAC but I am bit concerned if this DAC is going to drain out the battery of my Galaxy S3 too fast?
Reply: It doesn't drain it very fast, but a little faster compared to using internal audio output should be expected.
