A magnificent novel from the Nobel Prize-winning author of Beloved. Morrison probes deeply and sensitively into the realtionships between blacks and whites, blacks and blacks, and women and men, in this raw, emotionally intense narrative set in a rainforest paradise.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The author of Song of Solomon now sets her extraordinary novelistic powers on a striking new course. Tar Baby, audacious and hypnotic, is masterful in its mingling of tones--of longing and alarm, of urbanity and a primal, mythic force in which the landscape itself becomes animate, alive with a wild, dark complicity in the fates of the people whose drama unfolds. It is a novel suffused with a tense and passionate inquiry, revealing a whole spectrum of emotions underlying the relationships between black men and women, white men and women, and black and white people.
The place is a Caribbean island. In their mansion overlooking the sea, the cultivated millionaire Valerian Street, now retired, and his pretty, younger wife, Margaret, go through rituals of living, as if in a trance. It is the black servant couple, who have been with the Streets for years--the fastidious butler, Sydney, and his strong yet remote wife--who have arranged every detail of existence to create a surface calm broken only by sudden bursts of verbal sparring between Valerian and his wife. And there is a visitor among them--a beautiful young black woman, Jadine, who is not only the servant's dazzling niece, but the protegée and friend of the Streets themselves; Jadine, who has been educated at the Sorbonne at Valerian's expense and is home now for a respite from her Paris world of fashion, film and art.
Through a season of untroubled ease, the lives of these five move with a ritualized grace until, one night, a ragged, starving black American street man breaks into the house. And, in a single moment, with Valerian's perverse decision not to call for help but instead to invite the man to sit with them and eat, everything changes. Valerian moves toward a larger abdication. Margaret's delicate and enduring deception is shattered. The butler and his wife are forced into acknowledging their illusions. And Jadine, who at first is repelled by the intruder, finds herself moving inexorably toward him--he calls himself Son; he is a kind of black man she has dreaded since childhood; uneducated, violent, contemptuous of her privilege.
As Jadine and Son come together in the loving collision they have both welcomed and feared, the novel moves outward--to the Florida backwater town Son was raised in, fled from, yet cherishes; to her sleek New York; then back to the island people and their protective and entangling legends. As the lovers strive to hold and understand each other, as they experience the awful weight of the separate worlds that have formed them--she perceiving his vision of reality and of love as inimical to her freedom, he perceiving her as the classic lure, the tar baby set out to entrap him--all the mysterious elements, all the highly charged threads of the story converge. Everything that is at risk is made clear: how the conflicts and dramas wrought by social and cultural circumstances must ultimately be played out in the realm of the heart.
Once again, Toni Morrison has given us a novel of daring, fascination, and power.
From the Hardcover edition.
Toni Morrison was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993. She is the author of many novels, including The Bluest Eye, Beloved (made into a major film), Paradise and, most recently, A Mercy. She has also received the National Book Critics Circle Award and a Pulitzer Prize for her fiction.

Book Description Plume, 1987. Book Condition: New. Brand New, Unread Copy in Perfect Condition. A+ Customer Service! Summary: Racial pride and repudiation are the central themes in this bewitching novel of parallel lives that tragically intersect. Perched in his lovely home on a Caribbean island, Valerian Street, a wealthy retired businessman, savors the good life in the company of his younger wife, Margaret, his loyal servants Ondine and Sydney, and their beautiful, sophisticated niece, Jade, for whom Valerian has been a financial and emotional mentor. Preparations for the Christmas holiday are underway in this tropical setting, and the days take on a slow, lazy, decadent rhythm until they are disrupted by the sudden appearance of Son, a fugitive who has been using the house as a hiding place.Over the course of several days, Son confronts each of the members of the household, questioning relationships that have been taken for granted, and stirring up feelings of resentment as well as secrets, in effect shattering the fragile balance of the family. In the midst of this turmoil Son and Jade fall passionately in love, escape to New York, and then travel south to Son's hometown in Florida. Son's yearning to reconnect with his family roots clashes with Jade's willful rejection of the black way of life, and the couple must come to terms with their conflicting identities and their immense mutual attraction.Writing for the New York Times Book Review, John Irving hailed Morrison's fourth novel as, "deeply perceptive, returning risk and mischief to the American novel.".

It's been a rough fall for Katharine McPhee.
On Oct. 22, the former American Idol finalist was caught in a lip-lock with Michael Morris, who directed her in the now-canceled NBC musical series Smash – even though both were married to other people.
Now, a McPhee source tells PEOPLE, "Katharine is no longer seeing Michael – at least for now."
In fact, the actress' marriage to Nick Cokas, her husband since 2009, is still in a state of limbo. Despite the fact that McPhee, 29, and Cokas have been separated for months, "Katharine still has no plans to move forward with divorce at the moment, though they are not living together," adds the source.
Meanwhile Morris's wife, former In Plain Sight star Mary McCormack, prefers to keep her focus on her daughters – Lillian, 2, Rose, 6½, and Margaret, 9.
"Mary is a strong woman," a second source tells PEOPLE. "Her dedication to her children will remain her focus and gift."
Amid all the uncertainty, one thing is true, says the McPhee source: "This is an incredibly hard time for Katharine."

Faster Than a Speeding Pink Taffeta GownShawn Burns
Where are the heroines, the champions girls can look to so that they are inspired to make the world, and their own lives, better? As they get older, they will encounter more (and more complex) role models: powerful real world women, literary characters, philosophical ideals. But for very young girls, where can we turn to excite their imaginations to do good, to be good, to be brave, to be kind, to be powerful? Boys, it seems, have always had icons. Who do the girls have?
The world is full of princesses. My house is full of princesses. The other day we had extra girls in the house, and that meant we had even more princesses (though it wasn't all unicorns and rainbows, since one of the games they decided to play was "Dead Princess", and I didn't even want to ask where that one came from), so in an act of defiance my wife designed a craft activity that would see the girls constructing headbands and chest badges using superhero logos. We had Batman, Superman, Spider-Man…and Wonder Woman.
"No Buffy?" I wondered, even though I know Buffy the Vampire Slayer is still a little dark for the four year olds to appreciate. There was Wonder Woman, though. And Elastigirl would have been an easy addition, though the logo was never printed. But is this all we can do? To stem the tide of princess idleness, must we throw superheroes at the girls?
It would be easy to do, in our house, since my daughter is always asking to watch Spider-Man, or Batman, or some other superhero cartoon she sees popping up on Netflix, inspired both by the visual depiction and by the boys in her pre-school class who already leap about slinging webs and laser beams at each other. Out of some apprehension over violent imagery, I've resisted, telling her "No, they're too punchy." But the craft project was different, and targeted especially at one of the visitors who is enamoured of superheroes, and who does indeed watch the cartoons I'm still afraid to let mine see. It made me wonder: If superheroes are all we can do, and if I don't encourage their adoption here in this house, am I leaving my best tool on the bench? Am I abandoning my little girl to the frilly pink wolves?
Maybe sports is another answer. Maybe if I talk more about hockey…but speaking of violent imagery…
Or maybe I am the problem, and my fear of frills is not a canary in a coal mine, indicating something is wrong in the air, but is the very thing that is wrong. Maybe I should be embracing the frills. Maybe dads seeing pink not as Other, but as Self, makes the world, and their own lives, better. A shortcut to outrage, a ford to fear-mongering, is to point at the princesses and say "They are the problem! They are doing this to our daughters, making them vapid, making them superficial, making them easy marks for predatory men later in life, spoiling them, making them weak, making them unable to care fore themselves!"
Princesses are scary. But maybe dads who fear princesses are scarier.
Still, I can hardly wait until she's old enough to watch Buffy.

Trot Nixon is in the lineup, hitting sixth and playing right field for the first game of today's doubleheader against the Texas Rangers. Ryan Church is in the building, just to check in with the training staff and wish say hello to his teammates, and on-the-hot seat manager Willie Randolph has packed to go on the trip with the team to Anaheim after the game. Here's the Game 1 lineup:

Chavez, lf
Maine, p
Church, who is on the DL with a concussion, said he is "feeling great,'' and "progressing every day.'' He said he has tried to come to the ballpark for four days, but the Mets would not allow it. He is not going with the team on their trip, but will begin exercising tomorrow and is, at this point, simply waiting until he is eligible to rejoin the active roster. He said he feels better now than when he thought he felt good before going on the DL. "It is totally different,'' he said.

Big Decision for Long Beach Art Student
After his friends went off to college and became more religious and his parents started to abide strictly by the laws of the Torah, Michael Cohen, who was only used to observing the Jewish holidays, thought that he should at least try out a more Torah-observant way of life. Soon enough he was completely engaged in the study of Torah. But, with this change of lifestyle, this Bachelor of Fine Arts student had a big decision to make: should he leave college to study Torah in Israel or should he stay at California State University, Long Beach and continue to follow his passion for printmaking?
"It's selfish…to run away and abandon everything," he decided. Instead, he has made it a mission in his art to inspire non-Jews and unaffiliated Jews to think differently about the guys in the fur hats and long coats. In one series of his prints, you'll see religious Jews in traditional garb riding track bikes and skateboarding. "These types of things lighten the mood," says Cohen, "[They] show people who have no exposure to Judaism that it's not all serious. It's not all business is business."
Cohen has a number of more intimate, religious pieces as well. "Most of the artwork involves…themes that I'm inspired by in Torah and Kabbalah," Cohen says, "But not like the Madonna Kabbalah. Like the real Kabbalah stuff. It's really deeply personal but it's really complicated."
He set up his work in his upcoming exhibition at CSULB to move from the more playful prints to the pieces with more serious religious themes. By displaying works with varying degrees of religiosity, he hopes to bridge the gap between non-Jews, non-religious Jews and religious Jews. Cohen says, "I want to include everybody. I want everybody to get something out of my artwork."
An exhibition of his relief, lithograph, and silkscreen prints will be showing at the Dutzi Gallery between FA 2 and FA 3 buildings at CSULB this Sunday April 5 to Thursday April 9. There will be a reception at the gallery April 5 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Student gallery openings happen every Sunday during the school year at the same time and place.
California State University, Long Beach, 1250 Bellflower Blvd., Long Beach, (562) 985-4376, http://www.art.csulb.edu/events/index.php. Weekday hours for student galleries are noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday (Wednesday until 7 p.m.). Free parking every day in Lot 7. Visitor's pass required on weekdays. Admission is free.

Saving On Winter Energy Costs
Staten Island business bank shares money-saving tips for local firms
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – First during superstorm Sandy and most recently this week when vehicles were banned on all the roads, some preparedness plans seemed to have been put on hold.
Victory State Bank, Staten Island's only community-based commercial bank, posits that contingency preparations along with energy-saving pointers can be cost-cutters.
While several pragmatic suggestions are directed to homeowners, business firms can also benefit from them.
Many owners may already have adapted these ideas for their own home, but oftentimes they don't apply them to their work environment.
One take-away from a compilation by the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) is to consider having a propane-fueled generator as part of a backup plan.
Island business owners may recall storm-imposed difficulties in getting gasoline, which powers many of the widely available generators. Propane, though, may be a fuel that owners might not have thought about.
PERC also offers a number of additional ideas.
§ Install and set a programmable thermostat. This can save an estimated 10 percent per year on heating costs by setting the heat for a comfortable temperature only when workers are present.
§ Use sunlight to your advantage. During winter months, take advantage of sunlight by opening blinds during the day to allow the sun to naturally heat the premises.
§ Reduce energy for water heating, which accounts for roughly 14 to 18 percent of most utility bills. Reduce costs by setting the water heater no higher than 120 degrees Fahrenheit and wrapping a water heater jacket around it if it's more than five years old.
§ Use a heavy-duty, clear plastic sheet on a frame or tape clear plastic film to the inside of window frames. Make sure the plastic is sealed tightly to the frame to help reduce infiltration.
§ Install tight-fitting, insulating shades on windows that feel drafty after weatherizing.
§ Have a technician inspect and confirm that your appliances are running as efficiently as possible, so you can conserve fuel and save money.
§ Hire a professional to maintain your heating system. Arrange for annual maintenance with a qualified technician. This includes checking the airflow over the coil, checking that the combustion process and heat exchanger are operating safely, and ensuring proper airflow to each room.

Australian swimwear company cancels production of Lakshmi image swimwear
Submitted by Jamie Williamson on Tue, 05/10/2011 - 09:00
Nevada (US), May 10: An Australian swimwear company, whose depiction of image of Goddess Lakshmi on swimwear upset Hindus worldwide, claims to have cancelled production of swimwear with Lakshmi's picture on it.
In an "Important Press Release" posted on its website http://lisablue.com.au/, Lisa Blue Swimwear says: ".image of Goddess Lakshmi will not appear on any piece of Lisa Blue swimwear."
Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, stressed that world businesses should be careful when handling various religious traditions as faith was something very sacred to the devotees.
Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, pointed out that trivialization of religious convictions, symbols and concepts of anybody was not okay and it was hurtful to devout. Businesses should display some ethical values also and not just always be focused on mercantile greed.
Lisa Blue website says that it represents the girl who "is not afraid to share her beauty with the world". Lisa Burke is said to be the designer-owner. (ANI)

Morning all and thanks for helping @john1948 with his On Demand query.
@john1948 I understand you are experiencing an issue whereby you are being asked to upgrade your subscription when trying to access Catch Up. Make sure the service is activated - you can activate this service on your account by visiting your My Sky and on the right you should be able to activate your On Demand services.
I understand you can access Channel 5 Catch Up and If you are getting this message intermittently like @Hecate+123 then there might be an underlying issue. Have either of you had any issues in the past which might be related? For example no satellite signal errors?

Here are some of the people to blame for this insulting, childish, unprofessional comedy film: actors Dan Aykroyd, Howard (WKRP) Hesseman and Donna (Bosom Buddies) Dixon; director Michael (Some Kind of Hero) Pressman; screenwriters Bruce Jay (Stir Crazy) Friedman, Carl (Jaws) Gottlieb and Robert Boris, who wrote the novel Blood Feud and the TV miniseries derived from it. The film stars Aykroyd as a Milquetoasty Chicago college professor who gets involved with a pimp (Hesseman) and his stable of hookers (one of whom is Dixon). To make a very long 90-minute story short, in a battle for turf with a mob leader Aykroyd assumes the identity of an eccentric gangster from Michigan. And then nothing funny happens. It's a tip-off to everyone's desperation that so much footage is devoted to scenes of people walking, running or driving. These aren't even chase scenes, just tedious travelogues of Chicago streets. Obscenities are liberally sprinkled through the script, as if they are by themselves funny or as if the audience is stupid enough to think so. Aykroyd seems out of shape both physically and comedically; the only time he ever hints at using his talent is a party scene in which he does one of those funky mechanical-man dances. The movie does accomplish one thing: It makes Jerry Lewis' The Nutty Professor, which had a similar theme, seem like the masterpiece some Lewis partisans have long claimed it to be. (R)

Say it ain't so, Twilighters: Taylor Lautner has been wooing fans to Team Jacob ever since stills from New Moon showed the 17-year-old sporting an impressive set of abs. But as the film's Nov. 20 release draws nearer, Lautner, who plays Jacob, reveals he may be finished with shirtless scenes.
"My motivation was the movie and the fans," MTV.com quotes him as telling Aceshowbiz.com about packing on 30 lbs. of muscle. "But I don't want to become known as just a body."
He added: "If I had to choose, I would never take my shirt off again in a movie, but I guess that's not very realistic. I certainly won't be asking to do it, though."
Lucky for Twilight fans, Lautner's not the only hunk showing some skin in the highly anticipated sequel.
"There's some good competition," he said of costar Robert Pattinson's own drool-worthy physique. In terms of workout tips, "He definitely doesn't need any pointers at all," says Lautner. "He's got it covered."

Assembly session from today, all ready with fireworks
By Express News Service - BHUBANESWAR
Published: 27th November 2012 12:17 PM
Last Updated: 27th November 2012 12:17 PM
The winter session of the Assembly beginning Tuesday is all set for a stormy start with the Opposition Congress deciding to press for the resignation of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik for the 'all-round failure' of the State Government and the number of scams which have come to the fore.
The ruling Biju Janata Dal is also prepared to counter it by raising a host of issues, including price rise.
"Rise in the prices of essential commodities, LPG price hike and cap on the number of subsidised cylinders for consumers, Central neglect and scams in the UPA will be the major issues to be raised by the BJD in the House," Naveen told mediapersons after the Legislature Party meeting of the BJD.
However, the Congress seems to be in an aggressive mode after its successful padayatras and rallies. Stating that the BJD's a Government of scams, Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh said the Chief Minister should resign as he had sacked more than a dozen ministers on corruption issues. As Naveen is behind all the scams, he should now quit, Singh said.
Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) president Niranjan Patnaik and 14 MLAs attended the meeting of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) to decide on the strategy for the winter session.
The joint venture between the Odisha Mining Corporation (OMC) and the Delhi-based Sainik Mining and Allied Services Limited (SMASL), mysterious death of Ayush lady doctor Madhabilata Pradhan and phone tapping as admitted by the State Government will be the main issues for the Opposition.
Singh said the CLP also decided to raise the issues of farmers suicide and neglect of farm sector by the State Government. Though November is going to end soon, nowhere procurement centres (mandis) have been opened for procurement of paddy, he said.
Criticising the State Government for late convening of the winter session, Singh said the House should have been convened from November 15 instead of November 27. The Chief Minister is again trying to avoid the House, he said. The CLP took no decision on the impeachment motion against the Speaker, which it had announced to bring in this session. "We will let you know at the right time," he said.
Naveen, however, said the State Government is ready for discussion on any issue to be raised by the Opposition. He also sought the cooperation of all members for smooth running of the House.

Hi All,
I have a requirement to push around 10 -12 crores of records from MS Sql server to SAP ISU using PI 7.1in 8 days !!!!!!!!!!!!!I have been told that the hardware sizing done by the BASIS team is the best that Pi 7.1 supports
Please advice me on the following options:
1) Will PI 7.1 be able to handle this?
2) How much hours of scheduling would be required to push to data from SQL - Proxy
3) Any other suggestions???
Edited by: Piyush Mathur SAP on Dec 19, 2009 12:34 PM
Edited by: Piyush Mathur SAP on Dec 19, 2009 12:38 PM
I have done a scenario in which have learnt that PI can handle ata a max 3 lakhs files at a time.
In your case it is 3crores, so why dont u divide the data in several chunks and then send.
I know in File adapter we can divide the large data into chunks and send. Please let me know if u can divide the data in ur case.
This Thread talks about the same : Re: Maximum file Size PI 7.1 Can handel
Any thoughts?????
I will be certainly happy to help you but....the Volume Processing is purely depend on few aspects of PI 7.1
- Scenarios Configured to use high Volume Processing features of PI 7.1 like
I will be certainly happy to help you but....the Volume Processing is purely depend on few aspects of PI 7.1
- Scenarios Configured to use high Volume Processing features of PI 7.1 like
a. Message Packaging,
b. Queue Prioritization
c. AAE enabled
d. Are there any BPE Configured
- How about sizing of your PI environment?
a. No CPUs, b. Memory, c. No of Java Server nodes, d. No of Application Servers (aka Dialog Instances)
so like wise there many factors to cosider to conclude on your environment capacity in terms of no of messages processed perhour/day etc.
We have capacity to process 1.5 billion messages per hour But we concluded this fighure based on our load and system processing speed.
So I suggest you to go thorugh the below link to understand the realtime user cases scenarios and asses your system capacity
Becuase NO body can assess better than you about your system.
1) Will PI 7.1 be able to handle this?
2) How much hours of scheduling would be required to push to data from SQL - Proxy
3) Any other suggestions???
As you have mentioned, the hardware is the best that 7.1 supports, so I guess PI will support this situation.
You can schedule the polling as 2000-4000 records every 30 seconds. Since you are pulling almost 100-120 mils in 8 days, I guess this do-able. I am doing 5000 records every minute and I am satisfied with the performance (and I don't have the best of the hardware that PI supports )
Also, the indexing should be done on the table, which will help in increasing the performance.
I would recommend that you should keep your basis people in loop so that, they can monitor the DATABASE log file size on the PI system. If it grows larger than expected, the schedulers would not delete them until the time specified.
few thousand records every 30 sec is not a bad idea, provided the system has enough memory and hard disk space for all the logs that PI writes for each message processed.
Hi All,
Thanks for your inputs.
I have done a manual testing on my end and my findings are as below:
1) To pull 7K records from SQL database and push these to ISU via PI, it requires around 10 sec.
2) If we pull around 7K records in 1 SQL Query stat and schedule this stat to run every 20 sec then we would need around 100 hrs of scheduled time to fetch 12crore records.
I was trying to do this testing via the "Performance Monitoring" of RWB but the help.sap content is insufficient.
I even tried searching on SDN and found out multiple liinks but not a good one yet
Hi Piyush,
I just wanted to check if you considered Zip-Unzip option to handle such a heavy load.
YOu can refer the following blogs for details:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/ 5899
Can you ensure that before using Performance monitoring, you have done the following configurations:
Go to Integration Engine Configuration:
1. Transaction SXMB_ADMIN
2. Select "Integration Engine Configuration"
3. In the "Specific Configuration Data" window, enter category "PERF" (it will appear in the drop-down list). NOTE: Do not click the button labeled "Specific Configuration" (yet).
4. With "PERF" appearing in the text box, click the blue "i" (Info) button to the right of the text box.
5. Scroll all the way down. The job instructions are there. The programs are RSXMS_COPY_PERF_DATA and RSXMS_PERF_REORG, and SAP provides guidance on how to schedule them.
The job names SAP_XMB_PERF_COPY and SAP_XMB_PERF_REORG are SAP's recommended names for those jobs -- you actually have to type those names in; they don't exist.
Note that the same help page tells you what PERF config settings you have to configure. You set those by clicking the "Specific Configuration" button on that screen, and entering the configuration on the next screen.
Hpe it helps.
Hi Piyush,
The performance would depend on the load of the PI system..You can however monitor the performance by various means.
'Performance Monitoring' in RWB takes care of the Pipeline processing time and is exactly the same as the time shown on SXMB_MONI.
The End-to-End Monitoring gives the AE processing time with the IE processing time but unfortunately it does not give the time for pulling the records from the databse.
Here the AE processing time starts from 'Executed query successfully'. We get the total time for the adapter processing in Communication Channel monitoring.
Hence ideally it is a summation of CC Monitoring (SenderReceiver) Performance Monitoring (either in MONI or RWB).
Hope this helps..
Hi All,
Thanks a lot for ur inputs.
I was able to monitor my message flow and found out that
: it takes around 13 sec (Adapter eng + Pipeline time) to pass around 4 MB of data.
: it takes around 18 sec (Adapter eng + Pipeline time) to pass around 5.5 MB of data.
I think this performance is pretty good.
thanks again for ur help.

We believe that family members are the most important people in a child's life. We believe that families are entitled to help and support in identifying their options and resources in accordance with their lifestyles and personal values. We believe that families, professional staff, and the community can work together to support children as they grow.
We are a United Way Partner Agency.

No, no that is not fucking ok. You called me. The onus is on you to prove who you are, not the other way around. If you're so confident that the number you have dialled is for me, you shouldn't be asking any questions - otherwise, don't call the fucking number. How moronic do you have to be to think it's acceptable to call someone demanding to know vital personal security details about them?

for instance if i am changing it for India which is country grouping 40 i will go to variable key 40 and double click and make the PREAS as Required field.
if there is no variable key for your country grouping then select the line item that does not have any variable key and make the changes , the changes will reflect in your infotype 0008.
pleaes look at the screen shot for your reference. this is for India so i used variable key 40 here.
Make sure the Screen, variable key and alternative screen you choose is the correct one. (please make sure it from status )
Dear Sujith,
I have checked it once again from STATUS. The screen no, variable key & alternative screen are correct.
Dear Khaja,
I have tried removing the feature field & made it blank. Still PREAS is not mandatory.
Hi Hiten,
you might not saved the table entries after changes. please do the changes in T588M table and then save it. and then try
one more reason, if you changed the P0008 feature then you need to activate it. then try.
if also if it is not reflecting then go to main screen of 0008 infotype which is without variable key , do the changes here and try.
Hi Hiten
Hired new employee in the development & check
Thanks & Regards
Nadir Sheikh

We're using Couchbase for storing timeseries data and we have different views which we use for simplified data. The idea of the simplified data is to have different levels of simplification depending on the zoom factor of the visual chart. For example, let's have 2 million data points and the user is looking at a chart showing the gathered data for 1 year. Then we don't need to show the row data but instead we can show simplified data - for every day of the year we can show just 2 points: the min and the max values from the actual row data. >> >> How do you like CouchDB and Couchbase when it comes to time series data? >> >> Bobi >> >> >> >> On Jun 21, 2013 4:25 PM, "Keith" <uspatentpending at gmail.com> wrote: >>> Welcome, Bobi.

Laura Bell is the daughter of Bell's president Larry Bell, who started the company in 1985.
She is participating in a 30-minute live chat as part of our series looking at the craft beer industry in Kalamazoo.
Bell's celebrated its 27th anniversary last month. Michigan's largest brewery -- and the oldest east of Colorado -- has a production facility in Comstock Township and the Eccentric Cafe in downtown Kalamazoo. The company made 180,000 barrels of beer last year, accounting for more than half of the beer produced in the state.
Bell's is projected to brew 220,000 barrels in 2012.
In the spring, Bell's unveiled its new 200-barrel brewhouse that will give it the annual production capacity of 800,000 barrels a year.
The brewery announced earlier this week that the new brewhouse will be open for public tours soon. For more information about the tours, go to bellsbeer.com.

SAGINAW, MI — When bakers arrived at work during a Saginaw rainstorm last night, a leaking roof started to make noises and soon after the workers exited, the roof collapsed.
Today, many customers are going without doughnuts from the well-known Saginaw bakery.
Heavy rain on the night of Monday, Aug. 11, caused the roof of Spatz's Bakery, 1120 State, to collapse, general manager Marcia Mattfeld said. No one was injured.
Workers arrived about 8:30 p.m. Monday to bake for the next morning, and the roof collapsed about a half hour later. Rafters caved in and were being held up by the oven inside, she said.
A brief assessment showed that none of the equipment appeared to be heavily damaged, she said.
The bakery will be closed for an undetermined period of time while contractors clean up the water and repair the roof, Mattfeld said.
A weather observer in Saginaw reported at 9:45 p.m. that 2.13 inches of rain fell over a seven-hour period in Saginaw, the National Weather Service reports.
The damage is not visible from outside of the store. A sign on the door states that the bakery will be temporarily closed due to damage from the storm.
Spatz's was established in 1854 in Saginaw and the current location has been open since the 1940s, she said.

I visited my friend over the weekend. She has two male rats, one husky rex and a pink-eyed hooded fancy rat. Unbelievably, her non-rex rat is the bigger of the two. I can still remember when he was a tiny little baby, but now he is huge. The husky is called Seto, and his companion is called Katsuya.
The differences between male and female rats always amaze me. Male rats always seem so much more excitable (though not compared to Mouse, who is completely crazy sometimes) and seem to enjoy being stroked and petted a lot more than females do. Katsuya will sit quietly while his nose is stroked and even waddles over for more attention when he isn't getting any. My female rats Dumbo and Mouse aren't fussed about getting attention, they just want to explore.
One of the sweetest things about Seto is the way he bounds around the room. He doesn't scuttle or run, he bounces from one place to the next like a kangaroo. He is also utterly fearless in the face of my friend's enormous Dalmatian, Willow, who of course would never hurt a fly. She was utterly fascinated by her fellow furbag, staring intently as Seto hopped to and fro, under the bed, into the wardrobe, over mountainous pillows. The moment Seto hears the bedroom door open, he gleefully dives in that direction with thoughts of escape.
Unfortunately, Katsuya isn't as friendly as his brother. There often seems to be one rat in a pair of two that is more reluctant to come out of the cage, and this is the case with Katsuya. He happily sits at the door and will put his little paws on someone's shoulders, but if anyone dares to get him out of the cage, he gets stressed and upset until he's returned. My friend mentioned that if she ever puts him on the floor to have a run around, all he does is sit in the corner and mope. I thought this very unusual. Mouse is reluctant to leave the cage, but once she's on the floor she is as excitable as Dumbo is. I didn't know what to suggest!
We let Seto out during the morning, too, and the little monster managed to spill half a mug of tea all over the floor. However, he was happy to clean up the mess — with his tongue! After that, he pursued a packet of biscuits and managed to get his head stuck in the box, knocked over a small mirror and attacked some coat hangers.
My friend and I later decided that Dumbo and Seto would make very good companions, as they are both sweet and rather stupid.

On Bad Religion's seminal 1988 album Suffer, thesaurus-wielding frontman Greg Graffin offered this decidedly straightforward declaration of empiricist independence: "Hey, I don't know if the billions will survive, but I'll believe in God when one and one is five." A fairly pedestrian gob of punk ambivalence, really, but as we learn in Anarchy Evolution (It Books, 304 pages, $22.99), Graffin's autobiography-cum-evolution primer, such sentiments were (and still are) only the whipping tail end of Graffin's academic pursuits, which now find him balancing his legendary band's touring and recording schedule with a part-time gig teaching life sciences and paleontology at UCLA. That Graffin's book tour coincides with a Bad Religion jaunt confirms it: This man is going to vacuum as much meaningful experience out of life as he possibly can.
And Graffin wants the same earthly happiness for us. He might as well have appended this subtitle to Anarchy Evolution: "We're here, it's weird, get used to it." He still doesn't know if the billions will survive; he doesn't expect one and one to ever equal five; he views evolution as a chaos of Darwinian competition, random tragedy and accidental glory; but he is certain that humans have evolved into stewards of this tiny speck of the cosmos, and that the fate of this teeming happenstance is best left in the hands of those who've adopted a naturalist position, which is, according to the author, "the only perspective that can secure both our happiness as individuals and our survival as a species."
Anarchy Evolution's first half is a wall-eyed mess of everything-for-everyone: a history of Bad Religion, an introduction to evolution, a sentimental bildungsroman, and a self-congratulatory celebration of Greg Graffin's capacity for writing songs and books. Punks who ditched high school halfway through sophomore year (me!) will get a lot out of the first few chapters, which find Graffin dishing on 1980 A.D. punk and 540,000,000 B.C. archaeocyathids, but anyone who stuck it out through biology class instead of dropping out to listen to Minor Threat will either know too much about science or not enough about the Germs (band, not thing that makes you sick) to care. However, the book evolves (ahem) into a rather touching and even rousing manifesto: We might not know everything, but we know enough to know that we should be treating this world and its inhabitants with a bit more foresight and compassion. Some of us (me!) just need a little punk rock to help the inspirational message go down.
Greg Graffin reads at Powell's on Hawthorne, 3747 SE Hawthorne, 228-4651. 6 pm Tuesday, Nov. 16. Free.

WASHINGTON -- A bill to extend benefits for the long-term unemployed stalled tonight in the U.S. Senate after some Republicans who support the idea insisted they will vote with Democrats only if they make other spending cuts.
U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., has been negotiating with Democrats and Republicans for a way to temporarily restore aid that 1.3 million Americans lost (including more than 127,000 New Yorkers) when a long-term unemployment insurance program expired on Dec. 28.
But the senator said Wednesday it's unlikely that Democrats will agree to the cuts proposed by Republicans to pay for the short-term bill. "I don't think there's much enthusiasm for a three-month offset deal on our side," Schumer said in a statement.
The Senate appeared set to proceed toward final passage after six Republicans joined with 54 Democrats and independents on a vote Tuesday to begin debate on the legislation.
U.S. Sens. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, and Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., were among the six Republicans who split with their party Tuesday. But the senators said Wednesday they cannot support the three-month extension of benefits -- expected to cost about $6.4 billion -- unless it is offset with other spending cuts.

To the Editor:
Your May 24 news service report, ''Israeli officers may be indicted for raid,'' says that a Turkish prosecutor has prepared indictments and recommended life sentences for four senior Israeli officers over the killing of nine activists aboard a Gaza-bound aid flotilla forcibly intercepted by Israeli commandos on May 31, 2010. It should also be noted that Israel has consistently rejected Turkey's demands that it formally apologize for the raid and lift its blockade of Gaza.
The truth of the matter is that on May 31, 2010, the Israelis peacefully stopped the Turkish flotilla and peacefully inspected the cargo of five of the six without incident. When boarding the flagship Mavi Marmara, the sixth ship, the Israeli commandos were attacked by pro-Palestinian activist ''thugs'' armed with metal rods, clubs and other weapons, who were later discovered to be traveling without passports and with envelopes stuffed with enormous amounts of cash.
A United Nations review of the raid, as published in your paper Sept. 2, 2011, found the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza legal and appropriate, while the flagship incidents were excessive and unreasonable, although the Israeli commandos when attacked were required to use force for their own protection. There is little question that the United Nations report eliminates Turkey's claim of criminality by the Israelis, and no question but that the commandos were ''ambushed.'' IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation, said to be a terrorist support group, was found to have organized the flotilla and obviously planned the violence to gain world support to end Israel's Gaza Strip blockade.

The hardest part about starting social media for your business is that there is no manual, each business is different and should have a customized strategy.
But there are some common sense rules that should be used by all businesses that choose to be on social media platforms. With that in mind we created a little Facebook etiquette guide for businesses to teach you how to keep your fans happy.
You got your clients to like you. Now follow these steps and make sure you keep them by following these rules:
1. Respond to your fans
It might seem obvious, but you have to respond to questions and complaints. We are not telling you to respond to every comment, just to the ones that require a response. Many businesses don't do interact in this way because they do not want to sort through 500 comments. But guess what? You have to. If you want to be on social media, responding is essential to keep your customers happy. And nobody said that was easy.
2. Do not send your customers to another outlet unless extremely necessary
If I am asking you a question on Facebook, it means I do not want to call your call center. Your customers feel the same way.
So our recommendation is: respond on Facebook as much as you can. We know sometimes it is not possible to respond publicly to a complaint because you might need more personal information from the client. But in those cases you can just tell them how sorry you are and ask them to send their information over e-mail to get the situation resolved quickly. If you can't respond to them on Facebook, at least keep the conversation online.
3. Watch your tone and be careful with excesive exclamation points
It is hard to know the tone of what one is saying when you are reading it. But you can try to be as polite as possible. Saying we are so sorry, thank you and we are going to do everything to fix this is always better than We apologize for the inconvenience. Your customers are online but they expect to interact with humans, not machines.
Also, be careful with the abuse of exclamation points. You are not a teenager, you are a company. Act like one.
4. Do not post too much
Posting too much = spamming. Two posts per day is more than enough to be seen, and only post a third one if extremely necessary. If you start posting too much, your fans will visit your Facebook page for sure to unlike it.
5. ...But post enough and don't forget to monitor
Don't make a Facebook page and just forget that it exists because it is not growing as you hoped it would. Patience is a virtue. Interact, post relevant content, advertise your page on your other social media, and they will come.
And keep monitoring, even if you have only 20 fans on your page. Those are 20 people that took the time to go like your business. They deserve attention.
If you follow these 5 simple rules, your Facebook fans may not start saying how polite you are, but they will appreciate it by remaining your fans. Your customers still may complain about other things on your page, but not about your manners.

This book surveys the automata theoretic techniques that are required for model checking and satisfiability of expressive extensions of LTL that are used in specification of hardware designs. The motivation for studying these issues was the work done in Intel on a specification language for hardware model checking that extends LTL, later to be named ForSpec. While ForSpec does not include automata as temporal connectives, the backend tool, that handles the translation of ForSpec does. This led to the renewed study of automata connectives, and how to best handle them with alternating automata.
Nir, Piterman.
Dr Nir Piterman received his PhD in Computer Science from the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel, in 2004. His research interests include formal verification, automata theory, model checking, temporal logic, design synthesis, game solving, and the application of formal methods to biological modelling.

Coming into the shortened 2013 NHL regular season, the main concern surrounding the Toronto Maple Leafs was in goaltending.
In what has been a nice surprise, the duo of James Reimer and Ben Scrivens in the blue paint has actually been Toronto's most consistent position, with both netminders having strong starts to the season.
That would lead some to believe that this team may be ready to make the plunge and play in their first postseason since the installation of the salary cap following the last NHL lockout.
At this point, I'd agree with the optimistic portion of Leafs Nation.
This Toronto Maple Leafs squad may seem like a very similar club on paper to the team that imploded just a season ago, but there are differences between the two teams.
Here are five reasons the Toronto Maple Leafs are playoff-bound in 2013.

I have been meaning to experiment with a pumpkin pasta ever since pumpkins hit the store a few weeks ago. I finally got around to it tonight whilst baking bread. The recipe is super easy, though you need some strong wrists and a pasta roller and cutter. I have not cooked it yet (that will be tomorrow's dinner) but it rolled and cut perfectly. I have every reason to believe it will cook up nicely.
Makes 1 lb of pasta
- 1 cup semolina flour
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup pureed cooked pumpkin
- 1-2 tbsp water
1. Mix together flours and salt in a bowl. Make a well in the center. Put pumpkin and 1 tbsp of the water in the center. Slowly incorporate the wet into the dry, making a rough dough, adding more water if needed.
2. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead into a smooth dough (5 mins). It's going to take some elbow grease. The dough should not break apart or crack, so wet your hands if the dough seems too dry.
3. Roll into a log and wrap in a damp towel. Set aside for 20 mins to let the dough relax. Roll and cut as per usual.
A Note on Cooking Fresh Pasta:
Fresh homemade pasta does not need to cook very long--1-3 mins, usually, depending on the thickness. Monitor the pasta closely and make sure you don't overcook it, otherwise it will be mushy.
