Fernando Llorente LFC pre contract
A bit of a late twist in the LFC striking department. It seems that we were monitoring Llorente during the summer preparing ourselves to bid should any competition arise. Now he has 1 year left on his contract and he is free to negotiate a bosman move as of January to determine his club for the 13-14 season and we are top of the pile. Surely what will actually happen is that he will move in January on a cut price deal but we wont be alone in his pursuit.
To be honest, I imagine that Madrid, Milan etc will all be alerted too but fingers crossed hey?!

I guess the moral of the story is that the entire management team need to start working now for January transfer window. Start by having clear understanding among relevant stake owners to clearly understand all the parameters, from player profiles to cost.
I'd argue they may need to scout where to best offload players as well, if we really depend on their sale fund to contribute to our war chest.

Apart from those that are out on loan i don't think it's a sell to buy anymore. The squad needs players.... the RIGHT players now to fill weaknesses. After that then yes it may well be case of one in one out as Rodgers develops the squad into the finished article. But for now we need numbers in certain areas (up front fo sure and left back perhaps)
Llorente would be a very nice addition to any PL squad and I've no doubt there will be a lot of suitors. CL teams probably at the head of the queue.
I still reckon we missed a trick with Pogrebnyak you know (not that we tried for him I know). I saw him the other week for Reading. One big person but he's hopeless with the ball coming at him head height from 40 yards but useful when it's to feet and he comes alive when the ball is put in the box. Pure finisher. A good buy for Reading that one, Fulhams loss.

Well Dempsey was saying he wanted to come to LFC and look what happened.. He goes to Spurs..
So I'd be sceptical of a player saying he wants to come here..until it's offical and they're having a medical ..
I suspect many other clubs were doing the same. I couldn't understand the carzy asking price when he only has 12 months left. I can only guess that's why clubs have stayed away.
Now if there's a player ready built for the PL it's this guy and nice to hear that we're in there trying. I fully expect there to be a long queue for his signature come Christmas

New biography explores Rosa Parks' lifetime of activism
For her 100th birthday, the late Rosa Parks has received a special gift: a new biography by historian Jeanne Theoharis designed to prove that when it comes to the civil rights movement, Parks was more than a one-hit wonder.
Parks, born Feb. 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Ala., is the African-American woman who was memorably arrested on Dec. 1, 1955, for refusing to obey a bus driver's order to give up her seat to a white passenger. Her arrest triggered a bus boycott in Montgomery and made Parks one of the icons of the civil rights movement. »Read Full Blog Post(3)
Scrap between Time Warner Cable, WTMJ-TV shows in November numbers
The first ratings sweeps period since the two-month blackout of WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) on Time Warner Cable sees the ratings playing field returned to nearly normal. But if WTMJ suffered residual damage, so did Time Warner.
WISN-TV (Channel 12) won its sixth consecutive 10 p.m. news sweeps ratings race; WITI-TV (Channel 6) won the 6 a.m. news slot; the WTMJ news won at 5 p.m.; and WDJT- TV (Channel 58) beat all newscasts at 6 p.m. with "Jeopardy" and is inching toward third at 10 p.m. »Read Full Article(4)
Chance the Rapper is playing by his own #NewRules
This past Saturday, 20-year-old Chicagoan Chance the Rapper stopped through Milwaukee on his "Social Experiment" Tour. I expected the show at The Rave to be packed with tons of young fans eager to hear him perform songs from his critically acclaimed 2013 mixtape Acid Rap, especially since those under 21 couldn't get into his first Milwaukee show at Harley Davidson's 110th Anniversary this summer. And yeah, it was packed. What I did not expect was the live band, original video production, full light set up, three separate videographers or his complete command of the stage from beginning to end. »Read Full Blog Post

Eddie Hearn Questions The Sanity of Audley Harrison
Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn says he is astounded Audley Harrison has decided to come back again ahead of his latest ring return on Saturday in the sold-out Betfair Prizefighter International Heavyweights III at York Hall, Bethnal Green, live on Sky Sports 1HD from 8pm.
Harrison says he intends to reintroduce himself to the heavyweight division on Saturday night, four months after being knocked out in 82 seconds by David Price.
However Hearn, who took A-Force from a Las Vegas card room to a World title shot with David Haye in 2010, isn't so sure the former Olympic gold medallist has another comeback in him.
"I can't help have a soft spot for Audley because we shared a great journey, but the man astounds me," said the Matchroom Boxing promoter.
"After that night in Manchester I never expected to see Audley again let alone back in a ring. I feared for him because the public backlash was so great. He can have his own theories about what went wrong that night but the bottom line is he froze.
"He has never cut the grade at World level and the two times he has stepped up he has been comprehensively beaten by a unified World champion in Haye and a phenomenal talent in David Price.
"I don't know what it is that makes him want to come back and take all this stick and criticism because let's be honest he has had more comebacks than Chas and Dave. Maybe he is a sandwich short of a picnic.
"The venue for Saturday's Betfair Prizefighter sold out in a few weeks and we expect impressive viewing figures with the whole of the UK essentially tuning in to watch him get knocked out. Whatever happens on Saturday night, I wish Audley all the best."
Betfair currently make Harrison second favourite to win the 29th edition of Prizefighter at 100/30 behind American Travis Walker who is available at 2/1. Albert Sosnowski is 4/1 ahead of Ian Lewison at 13/2. Martin Rogan is an 7/1 shout to win his second Prizefighter, with Derric Rossy 16/1, Claus Bertino 25/1 and Timo Hoffmann 29/1.

Summer is finally here and it will certainly start to feel like it. Temperatures have been cooler than average because of a low in the Texarkana region that produced all the rain we saw last week. That low has weakened and we will start to see high pressure dominating our forecast for the next few days.
Clouds will be gradually decreasing over the next several days along with our rain chances. We will also see the temperature increasing into the 90's by Wednesday and will remain in the 90's for the foreseeable future. A ridge moving into the southeast will strengthen over us. This will be what reduces our rain chances and drives our warmer weather.
By week's end, the ridge looks to weaken some and a cold front tries to make its way through the viewing area. With that being the case, rain chances only creep up slightly. Other than that, this week looks to be mostly dry and a bit on the toasty side.
Hurricane season as well as Meteorological Summer starts today. It has been 3,142 days since the last category 3+ hurricane has made landfall (Hurricane Wilma in 2005). It's always important to make sure you have a safety plan in case hurricanes do threaten our area this season

Miss. officers fatally shoot burglar
The Associated Press
FLOWOOD, Miss. — A man is dead after a Flowood police officer allegedly shot him while responding to a burglary call.
Jackson television station WAPT reported the shooting happened Sunday after officers responded to the Woods of Lakeland apartment complex about 9:30 p.m.
The station reported that officers were running after the suspect when they said he pulled a knife and charged the officers on Flowood Drive. That's when police officials said 1 of the officers allegedly shot and killed the suspect.
Neither the dead man's identity nor that of the officers has been released.
The station says the Mississippi Highway Patrol is investigating the shooting.

2 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick refuses to stand for anthem in protest


text: Better than expected growth in the emerging markets helped Omnicom report 2.1% growth in revenues in Q2'13. The net income also increased by 2.4%, and the operating margins expanded slightly. The company stated that double-digit growth in China, India, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia helped improve the topline performance. This was better than expected, as many had anticipated lower growth due to slowdown in those economies. The stock, which had appreciated before the earnings, corrected from the highs. Now it is 10% below the 52 week high made on July 29 (just before the earnings release). On a 52 week basis, the stock has still done well by appreciating 24%, and looks good for more if it manages a bounce from key levels. The dividend payments continued, and the yield is now around 2.5%. Over the years, the revenues and the net income have shown consistent growth, though the growth has not been as robust in the recent quarters. The focus on the high growth emerging markets and high potential segments of the advertising business can help the company in improving the pace. Online advertising and associated emerging concepts also need to be taken advantage of. Native advertising / social media sponsorship is being preferred by many advertisers. IZEA (IZEA) provides a social media platform where advertisers can pay celebrities and other influencers to tweet, pin, blog, youtube, instagram etc., about their products. This helps advertisers take advantage of celebrity & peer influence to increase customer interest for their products and services. The merger with Publicis (PUB) is an important step, and news flow related to that will also be a factor in determining the trend for the stock. Recently, an investor has sued the company to stop the merger saying that the terms are unfair to Omnicom investors.

The visitors had Townsend sent off when the on-loan Hull defender collected two yellow cards in the space of as many minutes as half-time loomed.
Although the Millers had two efforts cleared off the line and Carlisle goalkeeper Ben Amos made a series of good saves, Steve Evans' side just could not find a way past the Cumbrians' determined rear-guard action.
"It was a tremendous performance," said Kavanagh. "Great work rate, great honesty and great determination - especially after going down to 10 men.
"I think it was probably a sending off, but it was a bit naive to collect to yellow cards. Straight away after getting the first yellow, he gets a second one. But he is a young kid and I am sure he will learn from it.
"He has been outstanding in his loan spell with us and he has grown in confidence through his time here."
Kavanagh added: "Our performance in the second half on Tuesday night could well have been the turning point in our season and it gave everybody a boost so (Saturday) was an important fixture to see if we could continue with it and sustain it, and we just kept it going."

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Apt 3W
by Gabriel Brownstein
Bloomsbury $101
This collection of nine short stories, five of which are set in an apartment building on Manhattan's West 89th Street, is narrated by one of the residents, the voyeuristic young Davey Birnbaum. Most stories rework classics. Brownstein brazenly lists writers from whom he has borrowed characters and plots: Fitzgerald, Auden, Hawthorne, Kafka and Singer. The title story is based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, whose hero is born as an old man and ages in reverse. Meanwhile, in apartment 7E, a lawyer named Zauberman re-enacts the life of Hawthorne's Wakefield, abandoning his family so he can spy on them. Of the four original stories, Bachelor Party is the best. The plot and dialogue are spot on, proving Brownstein needs no help to make his writing pop.

EVERETT — Things appear to be coming together for the Kamiak Knights.
The Knights used the press to jump on the Cascade Bruins in the first quarter of Tuesday's Wesco South opener for both teams and cruised to a 90-47 win.
"It was a nice way to open up," Kamiak coach Cory West said. "I think they were missing a couple of players. All praise to them, they played hard."
The Knights improved to 3-0 on the season and West said he thinks the Knights are getting better every night.
"I feel like we've got better," West said.
The Bruins were stymied by the Knights' press in the first quarter as they committed several turnovers and fell behind 20-5 at the end of the first stanza. The Knights were able to consistently outscore the Bruins in every period for the remainder of the game.
"The tape I have seen of them, they press really well," West said. "They average 70 points a game, so we flipped it on them. Most teams that press don't like to get pressed."
The Knights once again exhibited balance on the offensive end. Imaan Vicente led five players in double figures with 20 points. He also grabbed 10 rebounds and dished four assists. J.D. Blacksmith scored 14, Nicholas Kussman scored 13 and Anthony Berg and Ron Manchester had 12 each.
Cascade was led by K.J. Brady, who scored 17 points and knocked down five 3s in the game.
At Cascade H.S.
Kamiak—Wisnubroto 7, Berg 12, Petersmark 4, Kussman 13, Vicente 20, Manchester 10, Carlson 0, Jouett 4, D. Blacksmith 0, Belk 6, J. Blacksmith 16. Cascade—Brady 17, VonHagel 0, Ca. Bergmans 3, Shankle 2, Hudson 7, Olson 0, Gordon 2, Benenati 8, Gallardo 8. 3-point goals—Brady 5, Ca. Bergman, Wisnubroto 1, Kussman 1, Vicente 2. 1. Records—Kamiak 1-0 league, 3-0 overall. Cascade 0-1, 1-3.

DataStax Enterprise 4.0.6 release notes
- Cassandra 22.214.171.124
- JMX defaults to binding only localhost to mitigate "CVE-2015-0225: Apache Cassandra
remote execution of arbitrary code." After you upgrade to DataStax Enterprise 4.0.6, get
the latest default values from cassandra-env.sh and ensure that
your local cassandra-env.sh file has the latest default values. If
you require remote access of JMX, you can safely enable remote JMX access by turning on JMX security. The latest default values from
LOCAL_JMX=yes if [ "$LOCAL_JMX" = "yes" ]; then JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Dcassandra.jmx.local.port=$JMX_PORT -XX:+DisableExplicitGC" else JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=$JMX_PORT" JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=$JMX_PORT" JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false" JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=true" JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.password.file=/etc/cassandra/jmxremote.password" fi
DataStax Enterprise 4.0.5 release notes
DataStax Enterprise 4.0.5 includes updated components, enhancements and changes, and resolved issues.
Cassandra has been updated to 188.8.131.52.
- The default Kerberos authenticator now supports the Digest authentication.
- If you use transparent data encryption, you need to run Opscenter agent under the same account as the DataStax Enterprise user.
- DSE Search now logs a warning when users do not map dynamic fields correctly.
- DataStax Enterprise 4.0.5 includes for experts only the capability to tune index size relative to query range speed by adjusting the precision step of DataStax internal field types.
- Resolved the issue causing entries entries to show up in system.peers for decommissioned nodes. (DSP-3968)
- Fixed a problem causing an out-of-memory condition when running nodetool repair. (DSP-4104, CASSANDRA-7983)
- The GossipFilePropertySnitch and EC2MultiRegionSnitch now use private IP addressses for communication during node repair between nodes in the same data center. (DSP-4192, CASSANDRA-8084)
- Resolved the CQL TRUNCATE command problem related to memory-only tables. (DSP-4135)
- Querying partitions directly now works. (DSP-4293)
- Fixed an issue causing a null pointer exception on non Solr workload nodes holding Solr data and attempting to run the nodetool cleanup command on data. (DSP-4310)
- Fixed a bug causing core creation to fail if the Cassandra timeuuid type is used inside a list, set, or map collection. (DSP-4288)
DataStax Enterprise 4.0.4 release notes
DataStax Enterprise 4.0.4 includes updates to components, enhancements and changes, resolved issues, patches, and issues. The following Hive issue (DSP-3534), resolved in this release, might break existing code:
Hive will now correctly return NULL in places it was previously returning an empty string.
If your application inserts null string-type values into a table, adjust the code to expect NULL instead of an empty string.
- From Apache Cassandra 2.0.7 to Apache Cassandra 22.214.171.124
- From Apache Hadoop 22.214.171.124 to Apache Hadoop 220.127.116.11
- From Cassandra Java Driver 2.0.1 to a patched Cassandra Java Driver 2.0.4 (DSP-3848)
- General enhancements
- The procedure for encrypting data has changed in this release. DataStax recommends migrating data encrypted in earlier releases to DataStax Enterprise 4.0.4.
- This release includes an example of using Cassandra triggers in the demos directory.
- The _HOST macro has been changed to force the hostname part of the Kerberos service principal to lowercase. The Kerberos service principal is generated from the host name, which can cause a problem connecting to cqlsh running if lowercase host names are not used.
- Hive enhancements
- Support for the native protocol in Hive including the addition of 19 new Hive TBLPROPERTIES to support the native protocol.
- A new cql3.partition.key property that maps Hive tables to CQL compound primary keys and composite partition keys, as shown in these examples: Work with an unsupported data type and Use a composite partition key
- Pig changes
- Cql Paging Recorder Reader has been removed from Cassandra. The CqlStorage handler is no longer compatible with compact tables with clustering columns. Users who are accessing these tables need to migrate the tables to CqlNativeStorage format. This format uses the Cql Record Reader.
- The CqlStorage handler is deprecated and slated for removal at some point in the future. Use the CqlNativeStorage handler and cql:// for new pig applications.
DataStax Enterprise 4.0.4 fixes the following issues:
- The DSE startup script overwrote the JAVA_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable instead of appending it. (DSP-2914)
- Solr blob data types used in composite keys threw an invalidating error. (3033)
- The heap was not dumped on an out-of-memory condition. (DSP-3308)
- Tomcat blocked shutdown when an out of memory error occurred on Solr nodes. (DSP-3328)
- No value was returned when the fl request parameter specified a dynamic field in Thrift and the 'fl' parameter had only dynamic fields. (DSP-3332)
- Alteration of MapReduce output returned multiple results (MAPREDUCE-1597), which caused large gzip files with a custom input format to be read multiple times. (DSP-3384)
- Solr HTTP requests ignored permissions set on keyspaces and tables. (DSP-3388)
- Solr query POST parameters were not logged in the DSE audit log. (DSP-3440)
- Audit logging threw a null pointer exception if a prepared statement used a null value. (DSP-3447)
- Hive returned NULL in places it previously returned an empty string. See Possible code breaker. (DSP-3534)
- Creation of a Solr cql core using the CLUSTER ORDERING directive and a TimeUUID threw an IllegalStateException. (DSP-3542)
- Soft commit time interval reverted to a previous setting if changed during back pressure. (DSP-3584)
- Reloading during back pressure of the old pre-reload value of the soft commit. (DSP-3584)
- Removal of a node from the ring by the disk full alert feature.
DataStax Enterprise 3.x added a feature to auto-decommission a node when the disk is close to being full. This feature has been removed and there are no plans to do any sort of proactive cluster changes in the future. Because of the adverse effects from filling up data disks, customers are always advised to monitor disk space and add capacity when necessary. (DSP-3601)
- An out-of-memory error when using the Cassandra File System. (CFS)
Memory consumption has been reduced significantly, by a factor of approximately 500 for some use cases. (DSP-3615)
- Lack of support for writing to blob columns from Spark.
This release supports reading columns of all types; however, you need to convert collections of blobs to byte arrays before serializing. (DSP-3620)
The TermVectorComponent, not fixed in DSP-3147, caused unnecessary Cassandra access in CassandraRowReader due to the StoredFieldVisitor returning an empty collection of fields to load. (DSP-3625)
- Failed repair, addition, and removal of nodes from a cluster using transparent data
When attempting to repair a node, the node did not unencrypt the data for reading. (DSP-3636).
- Improper loading of SSTables with encrypted tables using sstableloader when internal authentication, SSL, or kerberos authentication. (DSP-3641)
- DataStax Enterprise failed to find the org.tartarus.snowball.ext.DanishStemmer class, which prevented clustering in Solr. (DSP-3645)
- A race condition between shutdown of client and server channels caused a harmless Netty exception to appear. (DSP-3651)
- Hive was incapable of reading from a varint column if Cassandra was configured to use the random partitioner (DSP-3652)
- A null pointer exception occurred when using QueryBuilder.batch from the Java driver and when turning on auditing. (DSP-3673)
- A non-functioning HSHA rpc server (DSP-3675)
- Previously NULL values were returned as empty datatypes in hive. Now, the exact information from the native protocol is returned, except collections, which are returned as empty collections when the value is NULL. (DSP-3840)

- After upgrading DataStax Enterprise from 4.0.0 or 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 on
RHEL5/CentOS5, the Snappy JAR file will be missing. (DSP-2558) To restore the Snappy JAR,
perform one of the following procedures to either run the switch-snappy script or
re-install DataStax:
- Run the switch-snappy script:
- Navigate to the directory containing the switch-snappy
$ cd /usr/share/dse ## Package installations $ cd install_location/bin ## tarball installations
- Execute the
$ switch-snappy 1.0.4
- Navigate to the directory containing the switch-snappy script.
- To re-install DataStax Enterprise:
- Uninstall the old installation.
- Re-install DataStax Enterprise 4.0.4.
By uninstalling the old installation and re-installing the new one instead of performing an in-place upgrade, DataStax Enterprise uses the configuration files and data files of the new installation.
- Run the switch-snappy script:
- DSE Search/Solr cannot index a document that indexes only one field, which is also the unique key in the schema and the primary key in the corresponding Cassandra table. DSE Search/Solr deletes any existing data with that primary key and does not return any results for such query. (DSP-3362)
- In this release, compaction of files stored on the cfs-archive layer should be disabled, but instead are compacted automatically. (DSP-4081)
DataStax Enterprise 4.0.3 release notes
DataStax 4.0.3 updates components, and includes improvements, patches, and bug fixes.
- DataStax Enterprise 4.0.3 and earlier releases are affected by "CVE-2015-0225: Apache Cassandra remote execution of arbitrary code." Upgrade to the latest release or enable JMX security immediately if your JMX port is possibly exposed to malicious users.

DataStax Enterprise 4.0.2 release notes
DataStax Enterprise 4.0 includes updated components, enhancements, changes, resolved issues, and issues.
- DataStax Enterprise 4.0.2 and earlier releases are affected by "CVE-2015-0225: Apache Cassandra remote execution of arbitrary code." Upgrade to the latest release or enable JMX security immediately if your JMX port is possibly exposed to malicious users.

- Snappy 1.0.5
- Cassandra Java Driver 2.0.1
- DSE/Search Solr
- DataStax Enterprise 4.0.2 implements a custom version of the OS Solr join query that joins Solr documents, including those having different Solr cores.
- The Solr update log is now officially unsupported because Cassandra provides the functionality. Configure the update log if you still want to use the update log.
- In this release, you can generate Cassandra tracing sessions when running Solr HTTP requests.
- DSE Search/Solr now indexes tables that use a CQL composite partition key.
- Support for the TimeUUIDTYPE Cassandra validator type has been added.
- Support for the EnumField Solr type has also been added.
When you attempt to insert data into Solr fields that are not present in the schema.xml, the exception thrown by DataStax Enterprise 4.0.2 is more informative than it was in prior releases.
- Other
- In DataStax Enterprise 4.0.2, only JMX ( java management extensions) password authentication is supported by the dsetool utility. If JMX passwords are enabled, users need to use the passwords to use the dsetool utility. In earlier releases, Cassandra internal authentication and JMX provided dsetool password authentication.
- A new dsetool command, dsetool status, which is the same as dsetool ring as been added. The commands list the nodes in the ring including their node type.
- If vnodes are enabled on an Analytics or Solr node, an error is logged in the system log and an error appears in the output of the dsetool ring command.
- If the cluster uses a Random or Murmur3 partitioner, the dsetool ring command warns you if the nodes are imbalanced. The dsetool compares nodes having the most and least load. If the ratio is greater than 1.1, a warning message appears.
- Fixed an issue causing Solr to always use an external IP address, even though the EC2MultiRegionSnitch and GossipingPropertyFileSnitch route the traffic on the Cassandra side to internal IP addresses for nodes in the same data center and to external IP addresses for nodes in different data centers. This problem resulted in high EC2 bills from Amazon charges for external traffic and failure in the Rackspace environment, which prevents routing traffic to the external IP address within the same data center. (DSP-2710)
- Fixed the problem with the getFileBlockLocations not returning the correct set of block descriptions. (DSP-2922)
- Fixed an issue causing Solr queries to fail during a short period of time when adding or removing nodes. (DSP-2975)
- Fixed an issue that caused a null pointer exception to be thrown on server shutdown. (DSP-2974)
- Fixed issues causing Solr problems working properly with lightweight transactions. (DSP-3028 and DSP-3032)
- Fixed the problem involving the per-segment query results cache to sort queries, such as queries that do not return a score. Set the useFilterForSortedQuery to true to use the query result cache and execute the same query multiple times. (DSP-3084)
- The problem, which affected the Cassandra commit log, writing to copy fields when those fields were not stored and when no stored copy fields were present. (DSP-3099)
- A row of bad data is no longer inserted through CQL into fields using a copy directive. (DSP-3107)
- Fixed the issue preventing batch updates from being indexed if the updates were followed by a delete and were made on the same partition key. (DSP-3187)
- After upgrading DataStax Enterprise from 4.0.0 or 4.0.1 to 4.02 or 4.0.3 on
RHEL5/CentOS5, the Snappy JAR file will be missing. To get it back, either:
- Run the switch-snappy script:
$ cd /usr/share/dse ## Package installations $ cd install_location/bin ## tarball installations $ switch-snappy 1.0.4
- Uninstall the old installation and then do a fresh installation. Using, a regular uninstall maintains the configuration files and data files.
- Run the switch-snappy script:
- Cassandra static columns, introduced in Cassandra 2.0.6, cannot be included in the Solr schema (and hence indexed) for performance reasons because changing the value of a single static column would require re-indexing all documents sharing the same partition key. (DSP-3143)
DataStax Enterprise 4.0.1 release notes
- DataStax Enterprise 4.0.1 and earlier releases are affected by "CVE-2015-0225: Apache Cassandra remote execution of arbitrary code." Upgrade to the latest release or enable JMX security immediately if your JMX port is possibly exposed to malicious users.
- A patch to fix the problem with lightweight transactions, compare and set (CAS) that caused Cassandra to treat an existing row as non-existent if a TTL marker was applied to a column and then the TTL expired. (CASSANDRA-6623)
- A patch to fix the 2.0 HSHA server problem that introduced corrupted data. (CASSANDRA-6285)
A bug was found that affects upgrades from DSE 4.0.0 on Solr nodes. Upgrades from versions prior to 4.0.0 directly to 4.0.1 are not affected. Please refer to the Upgrade Guide for a detailed workaround.
DataStax Enterprise 4.0 release notes

- Apache Cassandra 2.0.5
- Apache Hadoop 22.214.171.124

Apache documentation covers release notes for Cassandra 2.0.5. Cassandra 2.0.5 supports CQL 3.
DataStax Enterprise 4.0 includes the following enhancements and changes:
The latest version of the Oracle Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 7 is required to install and run DataStax 4.0.
Support for in-memory tables to accommodate applications, such as ad bidding, that require rapid response time
Integration of Cassandra 2.0.5, which includes the following features and changes:
- Improvements to CQL
- Experimental triggers, configured in CQL, not supported in production deployments
- Performance enhancements
- Column aliases
- Support for accessing legacy CQL tables through cqlsh using the -2 option has been removed
- Virtual nodes off by default (differs from Cassandra 2.x)
DataStax Enterprise 4.0 turns off virtual nodes (vnodes) by default. DataStax does not recommend turning on vnodes for Hadoop or Solr nodes, but you can use vnodes for any Cassandra-only cluster, or a Cassandra-only data center in a mixed Hadoop/Solr/Cassandra deployment. To enable vnodes, see Using virtual nodes.
- Required configuration of initial_token option (differs from Cassandra 2.x)
In DataStax Enterprise 4.0, the initial_token option in the default cassandra.yaml of the DataStax Enterprise-integrated component needs to be set. Because DataStax Enterprise does not use virtual nodes (vnodes) by default, you need to set the initial_token option.
DSE Search/Solr enhancements and changes:
- Optional TCP-based Solr communications that provide lower latency, improved throughput, and reduced resource consumption
- Support for Solr custom field types
- New mbeans for obtaining commit and query latency information
- Higher maximum calculated heap size limits, 14GB and 10GB, for DSE Search/Solr nodes and analytics/Hadoop nodes, respectively
- Non-string/non-numeric types, such as dates and booleans, can now be used as unique key in the Solr schema.xml.
- Support for Solr 4.3 SolrJ, assuming security is not needed
- Solr indexes on CQL 3 tables, including those created using
compact storage directive, must now include the following
type mapping version in
Hadoop and Hive enhancements:
- Performance improvements reading MapReduce files
- Support for new Hive 0.12 data types: date, varchar, and decimal
- Support for the Hive INSERT INTO SELECT statement for copying data from one table and inserting it into another
- Improved performance of Cassandra File System (CassandraFS) compaction
Changes to command-line options for securing SSTableloader data
Lazy loading of compression rules, and in the event of a failure to load, a retry occurs
Configurable disk health checking
Disabled SSTable notifications to improve performance of memtable flushing.
DataStax Enterprise 4.0 fixes the following issues:
- Fixed an issue causing data to remain after the keyspace and table dropped and recreated. (CASSANDRA-6635)
- Fixed the internal authentication issue when using cassandra-stress. (DSP-2911)
- Fixed the problem causing an exception if the PIG_OUTPUTPARTITIONER, which is a CassandraStorage user-defined function (UDF), is not configured. (DSP-2075)
- GLIBCXX_3.4.9 not found. This error may appear in older Linux distributions when installing DSE from the binary tarball. The workaround is to replace snappy-java-1.0.5.jar with snappy-java-184.108.40.206.jar. (DSP-2189)
DataStax Enterprise does not recognize changes to the default log directory used by its Hadoop component unless you add the HADOOP_LOG_DIR environment variable to the dse-env.sh file, as described in the Hadoop section of this document.
When the amount of data written to a table exceeds the limit specified by the size_limit_in_mb property, the following error message is logged:
SEVERE: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.datastax.driver.core.exceptions.UnavailableException: Not enough replica available for query at consistency ONE (1 required but only 0 alive)
To avoid this condition, manage available memory carefully. (DSP-2990)
In this release, the flush_largest_memtables_at setting is 0.75, which is typically too small causing excessive flushing of the memtable to disk. The workaround is to change the setting to 0.80 in the cassandra.yaml. (DSP-2989)
- The 2.0 HSHA server introduced corrupted data. This occurs when
running the HSHA server in Cassandra 2.0.x releases earlier than 2.0.6. The hsha
(half-synchronous, half-asynchronous) Thrift server was rewritten on top of Disruptor for Cassandra 2.0. This server can
handle more simultaneous connections than the default sync server. Unfortunately, the
rewrite introduced a bug that can cause incorrect data to be sent from the coordinator to
replicas. (CASSANDRA-6285)
Workaround: Use the native protocol or the default sync server. Cassandra 2.0.6 includes the fix and is expected to be released 3/10/2014. Alternately, you can get the pre-release build from http://people.apache.org/~slebresne/.
DataStax Enterprise 4.0.1 will include the fix.

"RE: Flash setting in commander mode"
The Commander mode setting for the built-in flash will send a series of pulse trains but if the mode is set to "--" no flash will contribute to the exposure. The only problem I have seen is the pre-trigger light pulses can trigger someone's blink reflex.CLS is a complicated system that requires the camera and all the slaves on each channel to communicate with each other by sending and receiving pulse position coded data by flash. Pressing the shutter release causes the camera to send out a pulse of light telling all the flashes on Channel A to fire a reference level of light output which is then metered by the camera, and the sequence repeats for each channel. The camera calculates the total light reflected back from the subject. The camera sends a code by pulse code to each channel separately in sequence that tells each channel how much power to generate. The camera then send a code to fire all the slaves. It the build-in flash is set to TTL while in Commander mode, its power calculation has already been done by the prior measurement command sequence since the camera was able to measure the reflected light from the built in flash every time it was used as the code transmitter. The built-in flash has its power set at the same time, after applying the flash compensation value stored in TTL mode. If the mode is changed from TTL to "--", all the flash sequence is performed by the built-in flash except for the very last one....the one that is fired during the shutter being open.You can try an experiment to prove that. Remove the external flash but keep the camera flash in Commander mode and set it to "--" and take a photo in a dark room. Black frame even though you see all the pre-flashes, which are so fast that they all appear as one short flash. Change the mode to TTL and dial in flash compensation of your choice (I use it as direct flash as -2-3ev just to get a little catch light) and take a photo of the dark room and you will see an image under exposed by the amount of the flash compensation bias you dialed in.If you really do not want the flash to go off, the alternative to optical coding is wireless RF flash triggers. Fairly recently manufacturers of wireless triggers have started relaying the coded information so they can be used in a CLS setup.I designed my own CLS compatible RF flash triggers 4 years ago for my D90 and I did not even know at the time, it was not possible with any commercial product. I never bothered to build it into my D7000 or D800 however.StanSt Petersburg Russia

I'm from Syracuse and I'm still not use to the weather.
The winter is brutal, but being from Central New York I'm used to it. Most people get adjusted to the weather quickly. People complain at first, but they quickly adapt.
the weather makes it difficult to motivate myself to go to class
the weather can be such a disappointment for most students. winters are brutal.
The spring and fall aren't so bad, except for all those rainy days, but winter is AWFUL! Feet and feet of snow fall in Syracuse every year. The plows are great at keeping the roads okay, but walking to class is just awful. You're freezing, there's so much wind, and chances are, you had to park a good distance away from your building.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Syracuse is known for its snow, but students will find it far easier to adjust to a few inches constantly on the ground than to the wind and cold they will encounter. It will get very cold. By November, it will be in the 40s regularly; by December, it will be below freezing. With the wind chill factor, especially in January and February, temperatures can drop way below zero. It isn't a fun time walking to class across the quad with a temperature of negative 10 degrees and wind gusts reaching more than 30 miles per hour. Also, it makes the occasional 50 degree day in March seem like a tropical vacation.
There is no nice way to say it-if you like beautiful weather, head to Miami or California. At Syracuse, no one came because he or she likes making snow angels or being whipped in the face with wind. Even snow bunnies will be disappointed in the lack of skiing the Syracuse area has to offer. If SU is your choice for college, it most certainly should be for some other reason than the weather. As far as clothes, make sure you do have mostly warm clothes, and dress in layers. Do, however, bring a couple outfits of shorts and short sleeves, as you should be prepared to jump at any opportunity to abandon your hoodie, warm hat, earmuffs, and mittens.

Mystic - My Dog's Place was a blur of activity for about two hours on Sunday night: running, panting, picking up tennis balls and barking. And that was just the humans in the building.
The Seaside Sprinters, a group of about 15 dogs and their owners, gathers here on Sunday evenings to practice flyball, a sort of advanced game of fetch.
Flyball pits two teams of four dogs each against each other, racing side-by-side over a 51-foot long course. One at a time, each dog must jump over four hurdles placed 10 feet apart and retrieve a tennis ball from a spring-loaded box. Then, after completing the four-legged equivalent of a swimmer's turn, the dog must return to the starting line (over the hurdles again) with the tennis ball in its mouth.
The team to run the course with the fastest combined time and without mistakes wins the heat.
"Dogs of any age can do this, any breed can do this," said team captain Beatrice DeGruttola, who also teaches various training courses at My Dog's Place. "The dogs get to bark and the people get to yell; we're all here to have a good time."
And earlier this month, the team performed a demonstration during the halftime of the Masters Agility Championship at the Westminster Kennel Club. The Sprinters were featured on FOX Sports 1 during the network's coverage of the dog show.
"We're kind of considered a barbarian sport in the dog world," DeGruttola said. "It was a lot of fun to be there and kind of liven things up a bit."
The Seaside Sprinters Flyball Club was founded in 2006 and has expanded to include four teams: the Salty Dogs, Wave Runners, Coastal Clippers and Beach Combers. The club sends teams to about six flyball tournaments in the northeast region each year.
The teams feature dogs of all shapes and sizes - from the long and tall standard poodle named Lucy to the short and stout Chihuahua mix named Pirate. Not only is flyball good exercise for the dogs, the owners said, but the game provides high-energy dogs with more stimulation than they might get in the backyard.
"A big part of flyball is teaching them to ignore the dogs on the other tracks," Steve Kanyock, of Mystic, said. "It's teaching control in an out-of-control way, which is good for the dogs."
Kanyock said flyball is a great activity for Addie, Kanyock's rambunctious and smart 4-year-old Australian kelpie, because it gives her something to focus on and gets out a lot of her energy.
"In here, she doesn't know anything but that box," Kanyock said.
Marge Lineweber, owner of My Dog's Place, said she suggests that dog owners who are interested in getting involved with flyball stop by to see it in person first.
"We also recommend taking obedience and agility classes first to get the dog used to being off-leash," Lineweber said. "And the dog will learn other skills so they can stay focused when you add a ball into the equation."
And though the Seaside Sprinters have won several competitions, the group's main focus is to have a doggone good time.
"That's why I've been hooked to this sport for the last 15 years," DeGruttola said. "We're all in it to have a good time."

with Standard Shipping
Shipping ice cream & gelato is a delicate process,
however, you can breath easy knowing we've perfected the process. There are some important things we've learned over the years that will ensure the highest quality of your frozen dessert.
- Your package will have enough dry ice to last well into the evening on the day your package arrives.
- ALL packages go out FREE STANDARD Shipping to ensure it arrives quickly. If you need faster service, we do have an Expedited (2 Day) option for $15 and a Next Day Delivery option available (additional $30 for next day delivery on business days, additional $35 for Saturday delivery).
- We cannot deliver ice cream on Sunday, Monday or UPS holidays. We only ship out standard delivery on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday because we just don't want to risk your ice cream sitting in a warehouse over the weekend. If you want Tuesday delivery, it must go out Monday night with Next Day Delivery (additional $25 charge), and if you want Saturday delivery, we do have that option (additional $35 charge).
- Order by noon central time and we can have your package shipped out the same day, with the exceptions of Create Your Own Flavor or Single Serving Party Cups. They require 3 business days for the chef to custom create your ice cream.
- Select your arrival date in the checkout process. Let us know the best available arrival date for your ice cream and we will make it happen! (Days we cannot deliver will be blocked out. Please select from the dates available that will work best for you.)
- We'll send you a detailed confirmation email. Please review it carefully and make sure everything is just the way you want it. And since ice cream is perishable, it's important to let the gift recipient know it's on the way to make sure they'll be in town on delivery day.

I have tried a few of the degradeable html5 plugins and this one seems to work the best in all of the browsers I tried it in.
Well done!
One slight disappointment - it seems that when I include a poster, this is not transferred to the Flash settings.... so that browsers which end up with Flash (still the majority in today's world!) don't see the poster, but just a start of the video which may well be a blank screen...
Any chance of fixing that up?

It seems like many people are having issues with 3.1.3. I will most likely wait for the next release (e.g., 3.1.4 or 3.2.0) before upgrading.
My question is this: Is each release cumulative? In other words, can I upgrade to 3.1.4 directly from 3.1.1? Or would I have to first upgrade to 3.1.2 followed by 3.1.3 then 3.1.4?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Bro. Chris

It's about time for my weekly Sandye update (she won't need a blog of her own with friends like me!:O) Today was Sandye's Bachelorette, about 17 of us met up at BJ's Pizza and ate dinner, and Sandye opened lingerie. We then headed across the street to Pete's Dueling Piano Bar, Sandye was brought on stage and serenaded by one of the piano players and everyone else at the place, and later she led a little dance with other people celebrating that evening. The next Sandye related post with be her swiftly approaching wedding!

Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell has taken a five-point lead over Republican Lynn Swann, according to the latest Zogby Interactive poll of 19 gubernatorial and 17 Senate races.

In California, Republican incumbent Arnold Schwarzenegger is five points behind Phil Angelides, the state treasurer, and nine points in back of Steve Westly, the state controller. Republican Gov. Sonny Perdue looks strong in Georgia. Among Senate races, Rick Santorum (R., Pa.) is struggling, while New York Democrat Hillary Clinton (D., N.Y.) maintains a wide lead. See full poll results, conducted in cooperation with The Wall Street Journal Online.

Will this be the Quarter we will be surprised with a Distribution boost ? I'm hoping the expansion projects shed off some cash flow so we will receive a few extra crumbs. Plus, Cramer has been pounding this stock, threating to place Kelcy on the "Wall of Shame" .. a nice Distribution increase would shut him up ...
Possibly, but longer term say a year 9% div with a jan to jan 14 increase of 20% principle!
We see an easy double in the 5 yr outlook!
Enjoy the ride & remember that as the pps rises so will the dividend!!
p.s.Pay no attention to the clown ("cramer"),
as ulterior motives drive his words . . .
Sentiment: Strong Buy
