Olby: Massachusetts suddenly turned racist!
posted at 12:15 pm on January 20, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
Howard Fineman of Newsweek calls this "a good question." Perhaps, only if you're a blithering idiot, or if you're shilling for the world's worst news anchor of all time. Keith Olbermann's question? It comes at the very beginning (via The College Politico):
OLBERMANN: The Republicans and the Tea Partiers will tell you what happens tonight with Scott Brown tonight, whether he wins or comes close, is a repudiation of Obama policies, and surely one of Obama's policies from the viewpoint of his opponents is that it's okay to have this sea change in American history, to have an African-American President. Is this vote to any degree just a euphemism the way state's rights was in the 60s?
FINEMAN: Wow, that is a good question.
Yes, because the state that gave Barack Obama a 26-point win in November 2008 has suddenly discovered its inner Bull Connor. That's not "a good question," it's a baldfaced smear on the people of Massachusetts. They elect one Republican, and suddenly in Keith Olbermann's eyes, everyone there wears a hood and burns crosses. It's absurd, and Fineman should have said so immediately instead of playing along with Olbermann's vicious fantasy world in which 201o Massachusetts has become 1966 Mississippi.
Fineman himself goes off the rails with this, however:
FINEMAN: Maybe not in Massachusetts, but maybe in some places, there are codes, there are images, ah, you know, there are pickup trucks, uh, you could say there was a racial aspect to it one way or another.
OLBERMANN: What were the Scott Brown ads, though? Every one of the Scott Brown ads had him in a pickup truck.
FINEMAN: That's why I mentioned pickup trucks. I mean, my mind goes back to Fred Thompson down in Tennessee.
Pickup trucks are now racist? I'm curious; do the people who make trucks also qualify as racists? How about the truck manufacturers that advertise on NBC and MS-NBC? I wonder if they like the implication that pickup trucks and the people who buy them are really latent haters and bigots. Maybe someone should let them know about it, huh?
Update: Jim Treacher notes that for a sportscaster, Olby's not much of a sport. He cut away for most of Brown's acceptance speech. Good thing no one expects actual news any more at MS-NBC.

TV One's new 7pm current affairs show Seven Sharp has embraced social media, with Twitter and Facebook posts appearing on the screen during the show.
However a lot of the comment on social media about the new show, which made its debut last night, was less than complimentary.
"It's just so much more awful than I ever thought possible," blogger Martyn Bradbury wrote.
"The format's fine. The content *really* needs work," blogger and Media3 host Russell Brown added.
Host Jesse Mulligan's fellow comedians waded in with their thoughts on Twitter.
"Going off the number of people who thought the #sevensharp PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder] story was 'hard hitting' this dead pig might yet fly," Jeremy Elwood wrote on Twitter.
"So, it's sort of like a Telethon, but with the news," Michele A'Court said.
The deadpan Guy Williams summed up the way the show used social media.
"They're using the Internet and as a young person that appeals to me!"
Steve Wrigley, however, took on the show's critics.
"'Arrrrrrrgh!!! It's different from what I'm used to and I'm frightened!!!' - #SevenSharp critics."
Other journalists were amongst the most critical.
"No offence - but this is rubbish..." Maori Television's Julian Wilcox wrote.
"I'm confused. Is this a school project?" Fairfax's Rob Kidd quipped.
"Paul Henry will be in TV One's 7pm weeknight slot within 3 months," nzherald.co.nz's Chris Schulz predicted.
"I can't bear to say out loud just what I really thought about #sevensharp, other than that the first episode of Seinfeld wasn't flash at all," Newstalk ZB announcer and Choice TV host Tim Roxborogh wrote.
"A 'current affairs' show on a state TV should be holding the govt. to account. Not finding out what PM eats for lunch," stuff.co.nz's Andy Fyers said.
The criticism from journalists prompted others in the media to wade in.
"Journalists of NZ: Play nice! We all work hard. We all win/fail daily. Let's give people more than 20 mins before savaging them," Stuff Nation editor Janine Fenwick wrote.
Ridicule and criticism aside, the show did have its supporters.
"#sevensharp a step in the right direction. This timeslot needed a fresh show and this is bold & smart mix of tv and social media intertwined," Yvonne Grace said on Twitter.
"Enjoying the tone of the new show ... Very different... Great vibe amongst the presenters," TVNZ's Joy Reid wrote.
"Fresh, interesting. I liked it. Doesn't purport to be serious current affairs but we need to get kids reconnecting with news," North & South and Metro editor-at-large Donna Chisholm wrote.
"I totally think that the format has the potential to be great, it definitely needs a bit of time to work it though," TVNZ U's presenter Rose Matafeo said.
Many others opted to reserve their judgements until they'd seen all of this week's episodes.
Those involved in the show, for their part, appreciated the compliments and took some of the criticism on board.
"Guys thanks for all the lovely tweets about our fluff piece on #sevensharp. We're going to have some fun on this show!" Heather du Plessis-Allan wrote.
"Thanks for feedback. Enjoyed the constructive stuff. Agree: should make the much discussed *social media* content less self-conscious," Jesse Mulligan said.
"Agree 'the hosts will warm up', but remember audiences take a few eps to warm up too. Predict we'll meet each other half way.
"Will have to fwd concerns about 'pixellated logo', 'bad white balance', 'shaky camera'. Although we can't fire the camera guy, he's a robot.
"Greg and Ali are first class. It's likely I'm the 'sound problem', having learnt my am-dram projection style at Hamilton's Riverlea Theatre.
"Happy to ask about anything else you notice. But if you don't think David Parker rejoining his alien family is funny, we can't be friends."

Why not ask UPS's own website for clear instructions?
If they're in your favor, take a printout and a note about the link to the local UPS facility, and show them. If they stonewall, ask for the manager. If the manager stonewalls, tell him (her?) that you'll complain to "UPS Central," and will name names.
Federal law permits you to ship guns and ammunition from yourself at any address, to yourself at any address. But it has to be "for any lawful purpose."
This does not necessarily permit you to ship from yourself to someone else. (No, I can't quote chapter and verse on this last.)
If regulations keep you from shipping to someone else, then addressing the package to yourself at his address, as a ruse, is not a lawful purpose.

BWAD: How to be a Ninja Warrior Filter Fighter!
What are we teaching the kids? How can we teach knowledge, discernment, and ethics without giving them a chance to make good choices and yes, sometimes mistakes?
Celebrate: Banned Websites Awareness Day
"AASL has designated October 3 as the second annual Banned Websites Awareness Day. To raise awareness of the overly restrictive blocking of legitimate, educational websites and academically useful social networking tools in schools and school libraries, AASL designates one day during Banned Books Week as Banned Websites Awareness Day. AASL asks school librarians and other educators to promote an awareness of how overly restrictive filtering affects student learning. The Freedom to Read Foundation and the ACLU are also supporters...."

Those filters definitely block way too many good sites and you're right about having the opportunity to teach kids to use their good judgement. The message we are sending is that we don't trust them at all to make their own choices! I haven't found a good software for internet filtering yet :(. I'm bummed that the internet rating system never took hold (PICS) or else we could just set our browsers to a certain setting and the website creator could set their website to a rating.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Lauren! I'm so honored by your comment & can't agree with you more! "The message we are sending is that we don't trust them at all to make their own choices!" I encourage you to visit Michelle Luhtala's blog to see her YouTube video her H.S. kids made called "We Trust You" it's staggeringly wonderful and inspiring!Delete

Small but very nice flat and a rather busy and tourist street. Jony is very pleasant and hospitable. Helps to solve every problem!
Nice apartment, really close to the city centre and perfectly equipped. It was a pleasure to stay there.
I can just recommend the apartment! The check in was super easy and the apartment was really clean. There are two bedroom, one living room with kitchen and a small and clean bathroom. Fortunately there is an air conditioner and also a balcony! The apartment is located in a quiet area and you have to walk two minutes to the beach (you can even see the sea from the balcony!!!). There are a couple of restaurants, bakeries and supermarkets around the apartment. The apartment is on the 5th or 6th floor... ? There is no elevator, but thats actually no problem! :=)
Nearby is a station to catch a train to the city, or you can just walk (10 to 15 min).
Sergey is super easy, friendly and always in time. He is always available if you have some questions!
Have fun in Barcelona! :)
Nice apartment, well equipped, close to the beach and surroundings with atmosphere.
Sergey was friendly, helpful and very quickly at the mail if we had questions during our stay.
Friendley host and a perfect accommodation, just a few steps away from the beach.
The two bedrooms have nice beds, and the rest of the apartment is simple, but clean. Some nice extra's: wireless internet, washing machine, microwave, iron and ironing board, hair dryer.
Truely great value for money!
Friendly host and a perfect accommodation, just a few steps away from the beach. (Well, in case you're finally on street level, walking the steep stairs to the 5th floor takes quite more than just a few steps...)
The two bedrooms have nice beds, and the rest of the apartment is simple, but clean. Some nice extra's: wireless internet, washing machine, microwave, iron and ironing board, hair dryer.
The appartment was as cozy as described and Sergey a very nice and helpful host.We enyoed our stay next to the beach and a little away from the tourist masses.But within a 10 minutes walk one can be in the touristic areas.We would recommand a stay with Sergey as a host in one of his appartments.
A really cute apartment, that's close to the beach (only about 2 minutes away). It was really neat and clean, and although it's pretty close to the busier parts of Barceloneta, it's also calm at night.
Sergey was really helpful, friendly and flexible.
My 3 friends and I would absolutely recommend this place, and we'd love to stay there during our next visit to Barcelona.
We spent fantastic days in BCN in August.Sergey was very open to us ,very nice,helpful and flexible.The apartment was perfectly clean(freshly redecorated).Everything was exactly as shown on the pages.3 minutes walk to the beach,we used to walk wearing only swimsuits.Not far to the center about 5-10 min.to Bari Gotic.It is in the old house with an old and narrow staircase but it has its charm.The kitchen was well equipped,the bathroom very small but new and shining.We'd like to return to this place while visiting BCN again.There were 5 of us and everybody felt comfortable(we're not so demanding travellers).I recommend this apartment to those who love clean places to live, lots of visiting

I am looking forward to getting into rearing queens next season, and am learning what I can in preparation.
Assuming one is trying to breed for specific traits, and not using instrumental insemination, I've read that people try to flood a given area with drones from their stock in order to "tip the odds" in favor of the genetics they prefer.
I have heard of people setting up "drone yards" far from their queen-rearing hives. I've heard that it has to be a mile or so away? Is this true?
I've read that queens will go a long way from their own hive to mate in order to avoid their own drones, and that is the reason given for the drone yards being maintained at a distance.
I wonder how those of you with experience in bee breeding handle your drone populations. Do you have specific methods that you can share?

Specialized architects, decorators and experienced workers worked zestfully so as to create a space that offers our guests privacy, as well as the opportunity to experience relaxing holidays. This place offers a real trip back in time, with the simultaneous provision of all modern comforts.
The house is located in the area of Ornos. The house lies between the famous beaches of Ornos and Agios Ioannis, 4 km from Mykonos Town and the airport.
The house has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. One kitchen with dining area fully furnished and wonderfully decorated. The house is sunny all day long and has a lovely patio for lovely dinners, drinks and bbq. Just steps away from the house, there is a large pool and pool bar.
Mykonos is part of a cluster of islands including Delos, Rhenia and some rocky islets.Since the fifties, Mykonos has always been one of the most popular tourist islands of the Mediterranean.
Chora, as the town of Mykonos is commonly known, impresses and casts its spell on the visitor from the first moment, with its beautiful position, scale and architecture. Despite the great tourist development of the island, it manages to maintain its cycladic features and traditional look, like few other towns.
Its cube-shaped, all white houses glow in the sunlight, scattered wisely and orderly in the countless labyrinthine alleys and streets with whitewashed cobbled pavements. A little further, on a low hill, the windmills, having stood for centuries, compose a picture of unparalleled beauty in combination with red domes and bell towers of the countless churches. In the harbour, a small colorful flotilla of caiques and fishing boats completes this unique picture with its vivid colors.
All in all, maintaining the form of the traditional architecture of the Cyclades on the modern buildings ensures a unique feeling of harmony to the town and interior of Mykonos. Nothing can be compared, though, to the emotion inspired by the enthralling space of ancient Delos. A real town with its streets and markets, public buildings and temples, luxurious houses and shops, cisterns, columns, mosaics.
House rules
The guests in general must respect the property.
Smoking is not allowed.
Pets are welcomed upon prior arrangement.
For everything you might need, I am 24 hours a day on call. The keys will be deliverd upon arrival and I will personally explain you everything you need to know for the apartment.

Reviews for this host's other properties
French for "bobo", the place is ideal for the first view (exceptional), then the situation (quiet and 3 minutes walk from "peripatos" path that goes around the Acropolis ). For the hostess Marianne attentive and fluent French. And for "Terrace" surrounded by plants and trees which grow 2 which act as umbrella and a rooftop swimming pool that allows a necessary relaxation after hot days of sightseeing. Our favorite heart of the 5-occupied housing during our stay in Greece (tied with another). Thank you to Marianne.
Pour les français "bobo", l'endroit est idéal, pour la vue d'abord (d'exception), la situation ensuite ( calme et à 3 mn à pieds du "peripatos" : chemin qui fait le tour de l'Acropole). Pour l'hôtesse : Marianne attentive et parlant couramment français. Et puis, pour "la Terrasse" entourée de plantes et sur laquelle poussent 2 oliviers qui font office de parasol et une piscine sur le toit qui permet une détente nécessaire après de chaudes journées de visites. Notre coup de cœur parmi les 5 logements occupés pendant notre séjour en Grèce(à égalité avec un autre). Merci à Marianne.
We stayed at this beautiful apartment and we definitely would repeat. We didnt meet George, but we knew Panos, a great host. It was really beautiful and near Everything (shopping streets, bus stops, taxis, and walking it's 4 km away from the tourist part. Wifi was a little bit bad but we cant find something bad on this apartment. Thank you Panos! ;)
Great place to stay, quiet air conditioning, good location on the marina with an adjoining beach. Recommended!
Prima Unterkunft, leise Klimaanlage, gute Lage an der Marina mit angrenzendem Strand. Empfehlenswert!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Beautiful luxury apartment in rich, luxurious kind baby boomer neighborhood with unfortunately some ants in the kitchen and kakkerlak..was a shock but it remained at that one happy. Stainless steel appliances, except a microwave. Great two air conditioners and ice trays in the freezer, indispensable in the Athens heat. The owner was by George not informed of the time of our arrival, which was confusing for all. George Ws has what many apartments under its management; We have not seen his face IIG. We recommend the owner to leave some information about public transport (tram, metro, bus and taxi) because it takes time to sort out eea. The bakery around the corner is great. Beach is not next door but what stops away with the tram, we had no time for about, so much to see and do in the city :)
Mooi luxe appartement in rijke, luxe soort babyboomer buurt met helaas wat mieren in de keuken en een kakkerlak..was even schrikken maar t bleef bij die ene gelukkig. Alle denkbare keukenapparatuur, behalve een magnetron. Geweldig twee airco's en ijsblokjes trays in de vriezer, onmisbaar in de Atheense warmte. De eigenaar was door George niet op de hoogte gesteld van het tijdstip van onze komst, wat verwarrend voor allen was. Ws heeft George wat veel appartementen onder zijn beheer; wij hebben zijn gezicht iig niet gezien. We raden de eigenaar aan om wat info achter te laten over het openbaar vervoer (tram, metro, bus en taxi) want het kost tijd om eea uit te zoeken. De bakker om de hoek is geweldig. Strand is niet naast de deur maar wat haltes verderop met de tram, wij hadden er geen tijd voor over, zoveel te zien en te doen in de stad:)
We spend one beautiful week in Athens and the appartement in Kallithea provided for all our needs. A little balcony, air-cond., tv, a kitchen and a clean bathroom with washingmachine. The friendly owner was very polite and answered all our questions with a pleasant smile. Close to the appartement you`ll find a lovely bakery, a supermarket, a freddocino coffeshop and the best pita in town! With the bus stopping just in the next street, we could reach either the Akropolis or the beach within 15 min.
BTW: The allready tuned-in radiostation "Pepper 96,6" is fantastic!
I'm very satisfied. True as well and very clean
Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Wahr als gut und sehr sauber
We stay in the Villa really liked. The accommodation exceeded our expectations with respect to the outdoor area and the beautiful landscaping. The house was perfect for 2 families with one child. Eleni took care caring to us and we did not miss anything. Beautifully was also a roof terrace with views of the sea and at night the view of the starry sky.
A very relaxing and wonderful vacation in a very nice small mountain town with a very nice little tavern with very nice owners.
Uns hat der Aufenthalt in der Villa sehr gut gefallen. Die Unterkunft übertraf unsere Erwartungen bezogen auf das Außengelände und die wunderschöne Gartengestaltung. Das Haus war ideal für 2 Familien mit je einem Kind. Eleni hat sich fürsorglich um uns gekümmert und es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Wunderschön war auch die Dachterrasse mit Blick auf das Meer und abends der Blick in den Sternenhimmel.
Ein sehr entspannender und wunderschöner Urlaub in einem sehr schönen kleinen Gebirgsstädtchen mit einer ganz netten kleinen Taverne mit sehr netten Inhabern.
Very nice, modern and clean apartment with views of the Acropolis.
We stay in Athens very much.

I looking at the Miller Feeder design. What if I doubled the depth of the feed to 7 inches. I can pour twice as much syrup?
Anyone ever try this?
I looking at the Miller Feeder design. What if I doubled the depth of the feed to 7 inches. I can pour twice as much syrup?
Anyone ever try this?
If you put too much syrup in it will be too hard to move it without spilling all the syrup. It already is bad, if it was deeper it would be worse. Also, it would be heavier and the syrup would last longer. The syrup lasting longer is a two edged kind of thing. It will do more molding, mildewing and fermenting if it's there longer. If I made one deeper, I would still only fill it two or three inches and use the extra to keep it from spilling. Of course you also have the problem if you do it the Brushy Mt. way with floates instead of a screened off small access, that the bees will be even more likely to move into the feeder and fill it full of comb. I've had this happen with the regular ones.
I built a bunch of them last year and use them for inner covers because they allow a little more air. I didn't try your idea but I may. As they are, the plans will allow about 2 1/2 gals. That's not too bad. I did alter the plans a little. I eliminated the cross pieces of wood that act as a baffle between the bees and the honey. Then I simply formed the wire to that shape. Also, I covered the whole top with wire to eliminate robbing. If you add cleats for handles, make sure they don't interfere with the cover. I used an epoxy paint intended to re-glaze sinks,for the inside, and gave them 2 coats. No leaks yet. They are a challenge to build, the wood costs something and you can buy a plastic one for 20 bucks.

I built two Miller feeders following the plans on Beesource, but made it 6 inches deep. They countain about 4 1/2 gallons. When I fed my bees last september, they emptied it in about 3 days. Worked great.
I've been using miller type feeders as open feeders to feed this fall. For that I think the deeper ones would be great. Because I never have to lift the feeder off to get in the hive. But as it is I find it frustrating when I need to get in the hive and the feeder is still full.
Thanks for all the advice. I think I'll go with the 6 inch deep modification. 41/2 gallons sounds about right to me.
I don't like adding a gallon every day ( which is what my hive top feeder can hold now). Yeah, lifting a partially full feeder is a pain. Thanks for reminding me. I'll just have to time my inspections with low feeders....
Can you use silicon caulk to seal the feeder seams? Will it hurt the bees?
MB: you mentioned "open feeders" so you just had one in the yard where the bees from different hives can access it? If this is the case so I assume you used a telescopic cover, and put it on some kind of stand where the bees can go in from under?
Yes. I just put some pseudo miller feeders on a bottom board with a telescopic cover. I say psuedo because instead of the wire restricting the bees from getting into the main part of the syrup, these are Brushy Mt. feeders with floats in them. I had trouble with the bees getting into the top because the cover was warped and drowning because they couldn't find their way back out. The open top with the floats seem to work better for this.
I also have some Brushy Mt. frame feeder that have a wire cloth ladder in the center. I have filled boxes with these like they were frames, with gaps and put another bottom board on top so the bees have easy access but the rain doesn't ruin the syrup.
I think an ideal feeder would hold more syrup, heat the syrup to something between 90 and 120 degreees F, keep the rain out of the syrup and give the bees easy access. I am considering what would work well, but haven't really come up with a design. Maybe a barrel with a float with hardware cloth on the float and a roof on top and a heater...
If you want an inexpensive open feeder, just take a 5 gallon bucket. Cut plywood (or any wood stock) about 1/4 inch smaller than the bottom of the bucket. Meaning the round cutout will sit in the bottom of the bucket with a slight gap. Fill the bucket and place the cutout on top as a floater. In most buckets it will have a slightly larger gap at the top but as the float goes down the gap decreases. True with most buckets.
Add some drill holes to increase the area of feeding.
You can feed 5-10-15-or more gallons in one filling depending on the numbers of buckets.
Make sure you place a good distance away from the apiary. They will find it. Also limit the entrances on less than strong hives.
The buckets can be used for other things and stack nicely. I can feed out apiaries this way and visit and refill every 3-4 days instead of perhaps daily.
What if it rains? What if it gets really cold at night? I guess I was hoping to also cover those possibilities. Also, if I made a barrel I could eliminate the increasing gap issue and maybe drown less bees. I would suppose that some kind of structure that provides a roof would do for the rain. Probably a chicken water heater would keep the syrup form getting REAL cold (like freezing) but won't keep it warm enough for the bees to eat it. But at least it has a head start in the morning when the sun comes out. Maybe black buckets would help a lot on heat. I've seen them, but am not sure where to find them.
I never worried about temperature. If its warm enough for them to fly, they will eat it. After the location is known, they'll fly there in much colder temps if they have to.
I never worry about rain. If it rains an inch in a 20 inch high bucket full of syrup, by percentages it just a little more diluted solution. Doesn't happen that often.
Rain is a concern when feeding pollen substitute as I do sometimes. Morning dew makes it sticky and rain completely ruins it. I'll normally put only enough that the can collect in one day.
I only feed this way when helping an entire apiary. I still use the jars on the inner cover and miller type feeders. This is for individual weak or starter hives. I'll sometimes put a bucket out to occupy the strong hives when feeding individual weak hives. Keeps the strong hives busy.
Normally only feed in the fall this way.
I've never fed in the open. It seems to me that feeding in the open will give the most to the strongest colonies, the least to the weakest, which is the opposite of what you normally want to do and will therefore waste a lot of feed (in addition to feeding any neighboring bees).
Am I missing something here?
I don't claim to have a foolproof method, but if I feed the weak ones the strong ones rob them.
If I restrict the entrances to all the hives to 3/4" wide or so and feed in the open, it's true the strong colonies can field more bees, but the restricted openings slow them down and I can always rob the strong ones to put full frames of stores in the weak ones.
And still I get some robbing, but less it seems.
I agree with what M.B. said.
You can feed for various reasons.
Feeding in the open can help with drawing comb for a new apiary site.
Can help weak hives while occupying strong hives. (note: If your open feeding, put a jar on the weak ones also. They can collect from the jar at times that is not good for flying ie. night, etc.)
You can also open feed to simulate a late season flow. This I wish I had done last year as the drought shut alot of queens down and the early frost did not allow them to produce young bees for winter. Then a long winter. Alot of kill.
If you open feed...Put the feeder a couple hundred yards away id possible. Will really limit the robbing frenzy.
If you feed in the hive...DO NOT drip any syrup in the apiary. This will cause robbing.

Heavy my thoughts,
Leading down darkened byways . . .
Now light of heart.
Light of heart
Is the tone of the day, they say.
Grey clouds that hovered early
Have scattered off in play.
Take my heart's pain away!
Ofttimes the worry
Forces my eyes to brim.
Heavy heart still beating
Even with the pain.
Around the turn of evening
Rush good thoughts again.
Taking me to abode of the light of heart.

Video & Social: The Perfect Soul Mates
Feb 17, 2012
Mads Holmen, Planning Director at goviral, took the stage with a full house at Shoreditch Studios yesterday to explore the area of branded video distribution and discuss the ingredients that make content social.
Having worked at goviral since its early days, Holmen gave Social Media Week attendees (a mix of media agencies, publicists and bloggers) a background on goviral, and explained the growth in the video market place since the launch of goviral in 2006.
Mads then launched into a full-fledged interactive session with the audience sharing some examples of great branded content from around the world to establish best practices. This included strong recurring campaigns such as Gatorade Replay, and videos from leading brands such as Samsung and Nike.
Some of these best practices include:
- Always aim at creating instant attraction. The first 10-15 seconds should create curiosity and interest!
- Make sure you are telling a story. Be creative or original but make sure the video has a flow and don't drop in to periods where users could be tempted to look elsewhere.
- Don't give away everything first and leave users with a flat feeling in the end! While remembering to engage users try to build up your video as if you were telling a story
And what other factors contribute to making great content you might ask? Spend time and effort defining your production and format. Do people know it is you just by the touch and feel of the video alone? Answer this question and you can provide a great user journey.

County judge heading to DC, will talk border safety with U.S. House committee
County Judge to Washington: Prepared to discuss border safety to U.S. House committee
EL PASO, Texas - El Paso County Judge Veronica Escobar, fresh off a return trip from Washington D.C., is preparing to head back to speak before the U.S. House Homeland Security Committee.
The County judge is known for discussing border-rghts issues. On Wednesday, Escobar will travel to D.C. to discuss what a safe border looks like.
According to the judge, the committee is looking to build metrics to measure what a safe border looks like.
Escobar pointed out she is the only community member that will be speaking to the committee, adding that she's already begun working on the speech she intends to give.
"I'm sure it will be very different than what our CBP and Border Patrol friends will be saying," said Escobar.
Earlier this year, Escobar wrote an opinion article that was printed in the New York Times. In that piece, she wrote that immigration reform talks have been too narrow and overlooked the needs of international port of entries, noting that ports are underfunded.
"When government prioritizes enforcement and minimizes the benefits of the people and goods flowing through those ports, it does so at its own peril," wrote Escobar. "Just as a path to citizenship for the undocumented would create millions of new taxpayers, a smoother path through our ports would create stronger economies."
In Commissioners Court on Monday, Escobar noted that the flow of people across the border is tied to economic factors.

UTSA research teams needed for DHS projects
By Marianne McBride Lewis
Associate Director of Public Affairs
(March 22, 2006)--The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is looking for a few good teams, 15 to be exact, for the DHS Summer Research Team Program for Minority-Serving Institutions.
Successful teams will receive compensation to work full-time on collaborative research of mutual interest with DHS for 10-12 weeks at one of six DHS centers.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Lead university DHS centers are at the University of Southern California, University of Minnesota, Texas A&M University, University of Maryland, Johns Hopkins University and Drexel University.
UTSA faculty are responsible for identifying up to two qualified students with whom they will work and submit a joint application. If selected, each team will co-author a research proposal during the summer that identifies a potential collaborative research opportunity between the team's institution and the DHS center. The application deadline is March 27. For more information, visit http://www.orau.gov/dhsfaculty/.
Jeffrey Kantor, UTSA associate vice president for research, encourages UTSA faculty and student research teams in technology, engineering, mathematics or any science discipline to apply, and says UTSA teams will be very competitive.
"This is a great opportunity for UTSA faculty and students to participate in cutting-edge research alongside some of the best and brightest scientists and engineers in the country," said Kantor. "Besides the obvious career benefits, research teams will learn how to write grant proposals for additional DHS funding -- something that is very valuable for both individual researchers and for the university as a whole."
The intent of the DHS Summer Research Team Program for Minority-Serving Institutions is to provide research opportunities to diverse and highly talented individuals in order to increase and enhance the scientific leadership at minority-serving institutions in research areas that support the mission and goals of DHS.
Additionally, the program is designed to engage early-career faculty, along with undergraduate and graduate students, in research that will provide them opportunities to understand the mission and research needs of DHS and advance research areas of importance to DHS, while strengthening the talent pool of scientists and engineers.

I am treating my home yard with Hopguard and I just finished a count for the first 24 hours after the strips were put into the colonies. I only did a spot check using an average colony that was made from a nuc this spring. It has built to a deep and a medium with a moderate population with 7 deep frames and 4 medium frames of adult bees. This colony had a natural mite fall count of 54, an average of three 24 hour counts. The brood pattern is spotty and brood is only on three frames.
The actual count of adult varroa dropped in the first 24 hours is 1193. This count makes me wish I had left the sticky board in for anothr day or two and counted the fall, it would have given me a better idea of how many mites were on the adult bees.

Excerpt: "Even if it's "not official," the yellow first-down line was a master stroke in the advancement of NFL television broadcasts.
The imaginary line gave fans at home a clear view of how far offenses needed to go to move the chains. Could fans in NFL stadiums eventually receive the same helpful tool?
It's not imminent, but it is possible. Alan Amron, with the financial backing of former player and sportscaster Pat Summerall, has developed the First Down Laser System. Amron said the system projects a first-down line across the field that can be seen in the stadium and on TV.Amron met with the NFL in 2003 and again in 2009 to discuss to possibility of implementing the technology."

I just had to cancel a package pickup at Betterbee in eastern NY, due to scheduling conflicts (they rescheduled twice, due to Georgia's cold weather). So, I have no bees for this spring.
Is anyone out there willing to sell me a nuc / package in the new few weeks? I'm in Greece, NY, but I'm willing to drive a few hours to pick it up (Betterbee is 4 hours + away from me)
I'm getting back into beekeeping after 7 years out of it. I have a hive w/ pierco frames, beesuit, and tools.

Answer by puplovetft
Some Chihuahuas are friendly with all the world, while others loathe every person on the planet other than their owner.
Most live peacefully with other pets, though they usually raise a ruckus when they spy a strange dog. They do recognize and tend to prefer their own breed, and it's a good idea to keep them in pairs so they can play together and keep each other warm by sleeping on top of each other.
Chihuahuas are very difficult to housebreak, especially in bad weather. Consider an indoor litter box.
More than most other breeds, how a Chihuahua turns out depends mightily on the genetic temperament of parents and grandparents (entire lines are social or antisocial), how thoroughly he was socialized by the breeder, and how you raise him (continued socialization and training) when you bring him home."
5-8 inches and 2-6 pounds, but larger individuals (6-12 pounds) are common and make sturdier pets
If you want a dog who...
Is the smallest and easiest of all breeds to carry around
Comes in a variety of sizes, coats, and colors
Takes himself very seriously (which can be amusing to watch)
Is comical and entertaining
Makes a keen watchdog
Doesn't need much exercise
Lives a long time
A Chihuahua may be right for you.
If you don't want to deal with...
The fragility of toy breeds (see below)
Notorious housebreaking difficulties, especially in cold or wet weather
Suspicious barking when strangers or strange dogs approach
An extremely careful search to avoid neurotic Chihuahuas
A Chihuahua may not be right for you.
If I were considering a Chihuahua...
My major concerns would be:
Fragility. Too many people acquire a toy breed puppy without understanding how incredibly fragile a toy breed is. You can seriously injure or kill a Chihuahua by stepping on him or by sitting on him when he's curled under a blanket or pillow, where he frequently likes to sleep. And Chihuahuas can seriously injure or kill THEMSELVES by leaping from your arms or off the back of your sofa. A larger dog can grab a Chihuahua and break his neck with one quick shake. Owning a toy breed means constant supervision and surveillance of what's going on around your tiny dog. Chihuahuas must always be kept on-leash -- they are just too easy to injure when not under your complete control.
Chihuahuas are NOT suited to children, no matter how well-meaning the child. Children cannot help being clumsy, and that a child meant well is little solace to a Chihuahua who has been accidentally stepped on, sat on, rolled on, squeezed, or dropped onto the patio. Most Chihuahuas feel overwhelmed by the loud voices and quick movements that children can't help making -- and stress and fearfulness (even defensive biting) may be the result.
Housebreaking problems. As a behavioral consultant, I would put the Chihuahua on my Top 10 List of "Hard to Housebreak." Consistent crate training is mandatory. Sometimes a doggy door is necessary. And some owners never do get their Chihuahua fully housebroken.
Mind of their own. Chihuahuas are not Golden Retrievers. They can be manipulative. You must show them, through absolute consistency, that you mean what you say.
Suspiciousness and barking. Many Chihuahuas will put on a display of excited ferociousness (i.e. they "pitch a fit") when other people or animals approach what is THEIRS. It's not funny, because if you don't curtail it, your Chihuahua may end up suspicious of everyone in the world, which is a short step to biting.
Unstable temperaments. Chihuahuas are a dime a dozen, and most of them are bred and offered for sale by people who don't have the slightest idea of how to breed good-tempered dogs. Obedience instructors and behavioral consultants see LOTS of Chihuahuas with neurotic behaviors, including biting, mindless yapping, and general nastiness.
Avoiding the hype. Have you heard these phrases? Teacup Chihuahuas? Miniature Chihuahuas? Pocket Chihuahuas? Standard Chihuahuas? Some breeders use these cutesy phrases as "marketing terms" for the different weights that Chihuahuas come in. All of these phrases are made-up. The only classifications that Chihuahuas should be put into is Smooth Coat and Long Coat, i.e. you have a Smooth Coat Chihuahua or you have a Long Coat Chihuahua. But you do NOT have a "Teacup" or a "Miniature" or a "Standard." Yes, certainly, Chihuahuas come in different weights, but they do NOT come in different weight "varieties". Whether they weigh 2 pounds or 6 pounds or 10 pounds, they are called, simply, Chihuahua. Some are simply smaller or larger than others. For the show ring, they must weigh less than 6 pounds, but many individuals weigh up to 8 or 10 or even 12 pounds. These larger dogs are certainly sturdier, so don't dismiss them as good pets.
In fact, I do NOT recommend a Chihuahua under 4 pounds. These individuals are great risks in the health department. Their bones are extremely fragile. There is not
Answer by kitty81301
Children and Chihuahuas do not mix. This is not necessarily because the Chihuahua might be aggressive towards children, but because toddlers and small children can easily fall or drop a toy on a Chihuahua, or kick a Chi when suddenly racing across the room, or slamming a door on it. A Chihuahua can instinctively sense that a toddler or child is comparatively speaking, uncoordinated and "out of control" and can pose a danger. This is especially true as children are more uncoordinated and clumsy than adults. Chihuahuas are not only small, but the vast majority of Chihuahuas have a soft-spot on top of their head, making them more prone to injury. Even a child that means well and loves the little dog can accidentally hurt the tiny breed by hugging a Chihuahua too hard or dropping it. Also, children move quickly and impulsively, and can kick or step on a Chihuahua when they run across the room. An active family, however well-meaning, can be very hard on a Chi. The mother, who already has enough to do in the family, would have the worrisome task of "watching out for the Chihuahua" around the clock on a daily basis added to her responsibilities.
For families that wish to get a small dog, we would recommend either getting another small breed such as a Bichon Frise, a Pug or a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel that might be able to withstand children better, or at the very least, a larger sized Chihuahua that is a little more sturdy. These other delightful breeds are also loving and make great companions for the whole family. The bonus would be that daily life at home would be more relaxing while the children grow up.
Other Pets:
Chihuahuas can get along quite well with other breeds of dogs and other pets, especially when raised from a young age in that type of setting, but generally, Chihuahuas should not be in the same household as larger breeds of dogs. A larger, rambunctious dog can easily hurt a Chihuahua in play, or if it suddenly wants to protect its food or chew toy, a snap at a Chihuahua can be life-threatening.
Chihuahuas are generally not good with terrier breeds that have a terrier temperament (that are food/toy protective, will challenge other dogs, etc.) as the Chihuahua themselves have a terrier-like temperament. Thus a terrier and a Chihuahua might clash with their similar personalities, and this can be very dangerous as a Chihuahua does not know its size.
Chihuahuas are prone to eye injuries because of their large unprotected eyes, so having a cat in the house may or may not be a good idea. Laid back cats are best. A cat that is shy or overly playful may scratch the Chihuahua's eyes.
Small Size Consideration:
Chihuahuas are not the right breed for everyone due to their small size. Because they are small, they can easily get into places that might not be safe, such as places with electrical cords, or underneath a fence or gate. Fences must be properly secured (we nail boards along the bottom) so that the Chihuahua can not escape. As described above, they are not necessarily the ideal pet to introduce to a household that has children or other pets. Also, great care must be taken when these little guys are outside. Birds of prey (hawks, etc.) as well as some cats and other wildlife (such as coyotes) may look at the Chihuahua as being a nice snack. Chihuahuas should never be left unattended for long periods of time, and when they are outside, they should be properly enclosed (including with a roof if birds of prey frequent the area). I have heard of several instances where a bird of prey snatched a Chihuahua off the ground before the owner knew what happened. (Photo Credit: Jose Antonio Tovar )
Breed Traits:
Chihuahuas are very loyal, and can be very protective of their owner. Chihuahuas really are a big dog in a small body. Some people think of a Chihuahua shaking, and scared of everything, but in reality, they do not know their size and most will challenge bigger dogs. Chihuahuas love human attention, and are true lap dogs. Chihuahuas are very personable and have their own personality and temperament, just like people.
Chihuahuas can be very intelligent, to the point of outsmarting you or being downright stubborn. Most are motivated by toy, food, or affection to make training easy. Many Chis try to please.
Some Chihuahuas are barkers, while others are not. This trait really varies with the bloodline and the individual. Chihuahuas are not the yappy little ankle-biters as they used to be known, and their temperament has improved by leaps and bounds with the help of responsible breeders doing their part to improve the breed.
As mentioned above, before choosing any breed of dog, be sure to do thorough research on the breed, ask different breeders questions about the breed, meet friends/family that have a pet Chihuahua, etc. There are many interesting books out there to learn more about Chihuahuas, and most are helpful about explaining how to care for them.

- What is too cold for a small chihuahua?
- What can I do to help my chihuahua with diarrhea?
- Can a chihuahua become too old to give birth?
Answer by arabianhorselush
Pro's - they are very affectionate , loyal , small and easy to take with you , they are smart and can use litter boxes and fit in small homes without yards . They love there familys.
Con's they usualy do not love your company, there size diffrence vs the new humans cause them to not trust them and they offten bite people that are rude enought to reach out at them ( Ahh there is a Bear thats going to eat me - they think) . As puppies they are very fragile and can have low blood sugar attacks so its very important to leave food for them at all times ( Like humming birds that have to eat all the time ) keep up with Shots and deworming as they will die quickly if they actualy cought something .They need to stay warm- they are like Tropical Fish , They enjoy sitting on Heating Mats ( for dogs with a wrapped cord ). Also they are prone to " going down" after a shot having an allergic reaction , and can die . The smaller they are the more defective they are and most likley will not outlive there slightly bigger sibblings. They are prone to Liver shunting, Hydro head ( water on the brain - I cant spell it this early), and luxating pattellas where sometimes its so crippling they look deformed and have a hard time walking. Alot are born Via C-section, and you will be paying a Good price from a breeder that puts alot of money into the care and quality feed . Expect to pay $ 1000-$ 2000 for a quality puppy. Expect to pay $ 250 to $ 500 for a puppy from a BYB that will give you NO information and possibly a sick puppy. Even Shelters do not usualy warn people of the problems with little dogs, do alot of research online.. type in to Google Chihuahua problems.
Another Con, They brake easy - do not leave them on your bed , couch , or up high . Do not Allow them to play with larger dogs- PERIOD! Even a friendly dog can playfully paw a Chi and break its back or leg. If they fall off of a table on there head they are sure to die, never leave them in a shoping cart, or open your crate/bag where they could jump out . This goes for all dogs under 8 lb. Also- Never trust them Alone in the back yard - They can squeeze threw small holes in fences or gates and will get eaten by your neighbors larger dog.
Good luck !!

Calvin's day begins before 5 A.M. He
knows another exhausting day lies ahead. He allows
himself only enough time to have a cup of coffee and
read the paper before lying back down by his wife's side
until 6 A.M. when the daily routine begins again;
toileting, showering, dressing, wheelchair transfers,
laundry, meal preparation, housekeeping, correspondence,
paperwork, yard work, personal care. Soon its time for a
doctor appointment; more wheelchair transfers, a trip to
the pharmacy, grocery shopping, and then, finally, a
return home to continue the care routine. No time to
rest during the day. Bedtime planning takes an hour so
he begins by 9 P.M. Calvin is physically and emotionally
exhausted by 10 P.M. and falls asleep quickly. But he is
awakened and out of bed at least three times during the
night, tending to his wife's needs, taking her to the
toilet, or changing wet sheets. He attempts to return to
bed and finds he cannot fall asleep. His mind is active,
he feels anxious and has relentless thoughts that swirl
in his mind. Daybreak seems to come too quickly and the
schedule begins once again. Caregiving consumes 24 hours
of the day and sleep deprivation and fatigue are the
common denominators.
Caregiver fatigue cannot be understated.
According to Webster's dictionary, fatigue means
"physical or mental exhaustion; weariness."
Spouses, adult children and family members alike are
susceptible to caregiver fatigue whether they are
providing care twenty-four hours a day or caregiving
from a distance. The sandwich generation faces
particular challenges as they attempt to provide care to
elderly parents while juggling the demands of young
families and fulltime careers. Whether caregivers are
losing actual sleep or simply wearing down from the
constant worry and obligations, help is needed before
feelings of resentment and guilt set in or the
caregivers' health is compromised.
Sleep is absolutely necessary to live;
however, it is often a low priority in the whole
caregiver scenario. As an adult, our bodies need six to
nine hours of sleep and after age 65, we need six to
eight hours per night. The American Association of
Retired Persons (AARP) likens the need for caregivers to
take care of themselves to performing regular
maintenance on a car. Without regular attention, even
the finest cars and caregivers will soon deteriorate.
Rest must be a priority. The brain's frontal lobe
especially relies on sleep to effectively function.
Without adequate rest, the brain's ability to access
memory, control speech and resolve problems, is greatly
Family caregivers truly are at risk of
physical and emotional problems of their own while they
are providing care to a loved one. Fatigue
contributes to an increased vulnerability to illness and
it is prevalent in nearly all caregivers, yet unseen by
most. The results of fatigue creep in over time, robbing
the energy and focus of a caregiver. They often become
so immersed in their role that they are unable to see
their own health decline 'right before their eyes'.
According to one home care director, by the time many
care providers realize they have become caregivers, they
are already suffering from the symptoms of caregiver
fatigue and are headed for burnout!

Hey guys,
I thought it would be fun to see how many posters on this website are New York Giants season ticket holders, and where everybody sits.
I'll start by saying I sit in section 128.
Hey guys,
I thought it would be fun to see how many posters on this website are New York Giants season ticket holders, and where everybody sits.
I'll start by saying I sit in section 128.
For the first 3 season in the New Stadium I was in 225A for the Giants. Looking to get back in, in a few years. In 129 for the Jets.
You're the perfect person to ask this. Which endzone level did you prefer? The seats in section 225A, or in section 129?
I like end zone seats.. (I would like 50 yard line PSL's, but they're through the roof!)
I would like to eventually move to section 126, 225A or 227A, from section 128..
So which Section 129 or 225A? Really tough question to be honest! I've been to about 63% of the games at MetLife thru 2103. Of the 81 games played I've been to 51 of them, 33 Jet and 17 Giant. I've sat in other seats other than mine more than once, so I'll give you my opinion on the different seats.
I sat in the Coaches Club seats once about 2 or 3 years ago (Giants/Seahawks). They were about at the 35 yard-line and half way up. I thought the view was limited because you had no depth perception from the sideline. You couldn't tell if the RB ran through a big hole in the line or just squeezed through.
I sat in the Upper Deck section 341 once, never again! Just too far up!
I sat in 144 last year about half way up and on the aisle with 146, the seat was almost facing the goal post and you had to turn your head to the right the whole time just to watch the game. Never again!
For me I think the best seats in the Lower Bowl are 128, 129, 131, 146, 148 and 149. Great angles, you can see the whole field and are easy in and out from the MetLife Main Gate. Go through security, take one escalator and you are at your seats in less than 5 minutes.
As for the End-zone Mezzanine, I've sat in 225A, 231A and 246A. I liked the corner seats better than 225A. I liked the angled view better, than what you see from directly behind the goal posts. In 225A it seemed you were always looking through the cables for the net. For some reason it just bothered me. Also getting to 225A seemed to be a pain getting past the Verizon Suite. Always seems to be a bottle-neck there every time.
In the end,if I had my choice of any seats in the stadium that I have sat in, I'd stay in 129. I'm on the aisle, row 21 between 129 and 131.
Thanks for the detailed and fantastic info, JetBlue!!!
Maybe I'll reconsider, and stay in section 128, after reading your review.
In 129 also. Awesome seats. I love getting in a little early and see the warm ups. Usually go right down to the field level and listen to the team getting fired up. Maybe I'll see you there.
Season ticket holder, also in 129, on the aisle but the other side of the aisle then Jet-Blue between 129 & 128

I setup a phone number for our "service".
Put an ad on craigslist and called the local animal rescue people (they were glad we called, their old guy said he didn't want anymore).
Got a hit within 2 hours of the animal rescue people about a cut out. My buddy went look at that, forgot to ask him about it.
A friend from FB had a friend with a swarm that I went pick up (went like text book, no gear, just snip and place in box... awesome!)
Today had 3 calls, one swarm that I think the lawn guys spooked up and they must have moved on before I got there (was there in 20 mins) then a trap out of a hive in a tree and right after that a call about a swarm in a bush.
Went shake that out and it's now how at my buddy's place.
As busy as it is, I just wish there was more money in it! LOL
Mostly, I'm just stoked that we have so many feral colonies still around, and we had the worse winter in the last 20 years this past year... so they are survivors!

FAQs About Cloudera and open source
What is Cloudera?
Cloudera is revolutionizing enterprise data management by offering the first unified Platform for Big Data: The Enterprise Data Hub. Cloudera offers enterprises one place to store, process, and analyze all their data, empowering them to extend the value of existing investments while enabling fundamental new ways to derive value from their data.
Founded in 2008, Cloudera was the first, and is currently, the leading provider and supporter of Apache Hadoop for the enterprise. Cloudera also offers software for business critical data challenges including storage, access, management, analysis, security, and search.
Customer success is Cloudera's highest priority. We've enabled long-term, successful deployments for hundreds of customers, with petabytes of data collectively under management, across diverse industries.
Learn more about Cloudera here.
What is big data?
Generally speaking, the term "Big Data" refers to any data that for whatever reason (not just volume) cannot be affordably managed by your traditional systems. Big Data is a relative concept and is highly contextual to the environment. For example, even if your organization doesn't accumulate data on a Facebook-like scale, or even if it primarily collects just one type of data, it may well have Big Data challenges as well as opportunities.
Big Data presents a tremendous opportunity for enterprises across industries. By tapping into new volumes and varieties of data, organizations can ask questions about their customers and their business like never before. For example, organizations are using data to deliver a better customer experience, thus resulting in a more loyal customer base from which they can derive greater value. At the same time, with improved insight into business operations, it's possible to identify areas of inefficiency that, if addressed, can help reduce operating costs.
Learn more about big data here.
Why do customers choose Cloudera?
Cloudera was the first commercial provider of Hadoop-related software and services and has the most customers with enterprise requirements, and the most experience supporting them, in the industry. Cloudera's combined offering of differentiated software (open and closed source), support, training, professional services, and indemnity brings customers the greatest business value, in the shortest amount of time, at the lowest TCO.
Learn more about why customers choose Cloudera here.
What is an enterprise data hub?
An enterprise data hub is one place to store all your data, for as long as desired or required, in its original fidelity; integrated with existing infrastructure and tools; with the flexibility to run a variety of enterprise workloads -- including batch processing, interactive SQL, enterprise search, and advanced analytics -- together with the robust security, governance, data protection, and management that enterprises require. With an enterprise data hub, leading organizations are changing the way they think about data, transforming it from a cost into an asset.
Learn more about enterprise data hubs here.
What is Hadoop, and what is its role in an enterprise data hub?
The Hadoop project, which Doug Cutting (now Cloudera's Chief Architect) co-founded in 2006, is an effort to create open source implementations of internal systems used by Web-scale companies such as Google, Yahoo!, and Facebook to manage and process massive data volumes. Hadoop, combined with related ecosystem projects, enables distributed, parallel processing of huge amounts of data across industry-standard servers (with storage and processing occurring on the same machines), and it can scale indefinitely.
Hadoop has evolved into a stable, scalable, flexible core for next-generation data management -- yet on its own, it lacks some critical capabilities when deployed as the center of an enterprise data hub. For example, it lacks a comprehensive security model across the entire ecosystem of projects. Hadoop was also built for batch-mode data processing workloads, which limits it to an ancillary position in the data center. (Rather, a central enterprise data hub must have real-time capability.) And Hadoop doesn't support the range of industry-standard interfaces for query and search applications, among others, that business users require. Cloudera has addressed all these challenges and more with its Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub Edition product.
Learn more about Hadoop here.
What are some common use cases for an enterprise data hub?
A Hadoop-based enterprise data hub allows you to process and access more data than ever before, so it has many near-term (operational) as well as long-term (strategic) use cases across multiple industries. Generally, enterprise data hub use cases fall into these broad categories:
- Transformation and enrichment: Transform and process large amounts of data more quickly, reliably, and affordably (for loading into the data warehouse, for example).
- Active archive: Get access to data that would otherwise be taken offline (typically to tape) due to the high cost of actively managing it.
- Self-service exploratory BI: Allow users to explore data, with full security, using traditional interactive business intelligence tools via SQL and keyword search.
- Advanced analytics: Rather than making them examine samples of data, or snapshots from short time periods, let users combine all historical data, in its full fidelity, for comprehensive analyses.
Learn more about real-world applications for an enterprise data hub here.
What are Cloudera's products?
Cloudera's platform, which is designed to specifically address customer opportunities and challenges in Big Data, is available in the form of free/unsupported products (CDH or Cloudera Express, for those interested solely in a free Hadoop distribution), or as supported, enterprise-class software (Cloudera Enterprise - in Basic, Flex, and Data Hub editions) in the form of an annual subscription. All the integration work is done for you, and the entire solution is thoroughly tested for enterprise requirements and fully documented.
Learn more about Cloudera products here.
Why do I need a Cloudera Enterprise subscription?
Cloudera Enterprise subscriptions, which include access to differentiated system and data management software, 8x5 or 24x7 support, and indemnity, is an essential ingredient in any sustainable deployment of an enterprise data hub. Furthermore, all Cloudera subscriptions are up for renewal annually, so Cloudera must continually re-prove its value to you.
Learn more about Cloudera support here.
What makes Cloudera's products unique?
Cloudera's platform has several differentiating attributes that make it unique, including:
- Differences from commercial alternatives: Cloudera offers differentiating capabilities such as production-grade interactive SQL and Search on Hadoop; comprehensive system management with rolling upgrades, automated disaster recovery, centralized security, proactive health checks, and multi-cluster management; and simplified data management with granular auditing and access control capabilities.
- Differences from stock Apache Hadoop: Although Cloudera's platform contains the same code that can be found in the "upstream" Hadoop ecosystem projects, on a regular (quarterly) basis, Cloudera ships new bug fixes and stable features for users of its platform on a quarterly basis (and contributes them to the upstream code base, as well). Thus, Cloudera customers get predictable and regular access to platform improvements, along with the assurances of rigorous testing and upstream compatibility.
Learn more about Cloudera products here.
Do Cloudera's products work with my existing data management infrastructure?
The Cloudera Connect Partner Program, more than 2800 companies strong, and is designed to champion partner advancement and solution development for the Big Data ecosystem. With more partners than any other Hadoop vendor and the only Hadoop provider with a technology certification program, Cloudera ensures consistency, reliability, and tight integration with enterprise environments.
Learn more about Cloudera's partners here.
Why does open source matter for customers?
Open source licensing and development offers customers powerful benefits, including freedom from lock-in, free no-obligation evaluation, rapid innovation on a global scale, and community-driven development. Freedom from lock-in is particularly important for customers where components that store and process data are involved.
Learn more about why open source matters here.
Is Cloudera's platform open source?
The core of Cloudera's platform, CDH, is open source (Apache License), so users always have the option to move their data to an alternative -- and thus Cloudera must continually earn your business based on merit. In fact, Cloudera is an open source leader in Big Data, with its employees collectively contributing more code to the Hadoop ecosystem than those of any other company.
Cloudera complements this open core with closed source management software that provides key enterprise functionality requested by customers such as support for rolling upgrades, auditing management, and disaster recovery. That software, however, does not store or process data and thus lock-in is not an issue.
What does Cloudera's open source leadership mean for customers?
Open source benefits, such as freedom from lock-in, are tangible and time-tested. That said, they are just table stakes when deploying an enterprise data hub based on open source software such as Hadoop.
Cloudera also leads the way to ensure that customer needs for performance, availability, security, and recoverability are met by new features in the Apache code base, and then shipping/supporting those features for customers in our platform. To make that goal possible, Cloudera employs more ecosystem committers, establishes more successful new ecosystem projects, and contributes more code to that ecosystem, than any other vendor.
