California Technological Care (CTC) is a 501c3 "all volunteer" organization formed in 1999 as an answer to many people in our society (and that in the Philippines) who had little or no computer and Internet training. In those early days, we refurbished donated equipment from companies in Silicon Valley, established Computer Training Centers in both countries and provided "free" computer training to disabled and non-disabled individuals alike. (And, we were able to reach thousands both in the United States and in the Philippines.)
From the limited exposure people had to the Internet & computers in the late 1990s to today, where any individual using a cell phone can check his or her email and surf the "Web" in a matter of a minute, CTC's initial mission had become less relevant in this modern world.
Our new mission concentrates primarily on the Hearing Impaired (Deaf) Children both in the United States and in the Philippines.
"We will empower Children with Hearing Impairments so they become fully accepted into society; allowing them to receive an education where each can reach his or her full potential with dignity and self-respect, be free from poverty and be self-dependent."
Among the most vulnerable groups, children who are deaf are particularly prone to discrimination. Exclusion from society begins in the early days of their lives facing bullying, human trafficking, rape, and even murder. Without the ability to verbally communicate, who are they going tell, so they endure this condemnation in their silent world.
Northern and Central Valley, California in the United States;
Internationally, in the Republic of the Philippines.

Self-reported by organization
CTC continues to carry out the fundamentals of providing computer technology education to the underserve communities locally and internationally. In the Philippines over the past 2 years, CTC worked with the Philippine Department of Education and its regional office in Southern Tagalog Region to provide 1200 computer units with printers to either all or most of its public schools with the technical help of the local university, La Salle and in coordination of the Office of Congressman Mandanas. On August 3, 2010, CTC inaugurated the opening of the computer learning center provided to Hangga Elementary School, a public school in the town of Hagonoy province of Bulacan. On October 1, 2010, CTC signed a Memorandum of Agreement with Clean Tech Institute, a leader in research and development as well as in workforce and professional training in nanotechnology and clean tech jobs. This partnership is anticipated to help CTC in providing dual programs in its mission both in computer and solar technology.

No Deaf Child Left Behind
Nearly 2 million deaf children and young adults between the ages of 0 to 24 across the Philippines cannot benefit fully from a traditional educational program because they have a challenge that impairs their ability to participate in a typical classroom environment. For students in school, computer-based technologies can play a crucial role in their young lives.
Especially in the rural/remote areas where classes for deaf children only go from grade K through 6. If the student wants to go to high school and beyond, (using Barili, Cebu as an example) he or she would have to enroll in Cebu City some 95 kilometers away. Yes, the school is free.
However, the deaf student would have to find lodging, pay for meals, and if necessary, communicate with a taxi or jeepney driver to travel back and forth between their rooming house and the school.
Bottom-line, their parents, subsisting on less than 300 pesos ($6.35) a day, just cannot afford the cost. So, 95% of the time, their education stops upon completion of the 6th grade.
The solution for this is dilemma, especially for an exceptional deaf child, would be an online high school program which offers students a chance to schedule school work at their own convenience and complete courses at their own pace.
Stanford University in California, University of Texas, and Maine Connection Academy, to name a few, all offer an accredited High School diploma online to students worldwide.
But, it all starts with knowing how to use a computer.
Phase 1 of CTC's plan:
One SPED teacher for the deaf in the rural/remote areas will teach all classes from grade K through 6 in a one classroom. Students will range in age from 5 to 20+ years.
CTC will enhance the deaf student's learning capabilities (who already read and write English and Filipino) by placing 5 computers, a computer projector w/screen, printer, word processing, reading and educational software in their SPED classroom (along with 5 headsets w/microphone, amplified speakers and speech therapy computer programs to be used in Phase 2).
Up until grade 4, the students will giving the opportunity to become familiar with the computer through educational games and reading software. They will learn keyboard skills and the different functions of the computer both in theory and with hands-on application.
Over the remaining three years, from grade 4 through grade 6, students will be learning to use the various technological tools that will enable them to do their work quicker and give it a professional appearance.
Phase 2 of CTC's plan:
CTC will be working its schedule in conjunction with Starkey Hearing Foundation Philippines whose mission has provided thousands of deaf men, women, and children with free hearing aids.
Using Barili, Cebu once more as an example, on December 9, 2015, CTC brought 11 "Profoundly Deaf" children from Barili Central 1 into a Starkey Hearing Foundation mission site in Lapu-Lapu City in Cebu, Philippines.
Each child hoping he or she may become a candidate as a hearing aid recipient…..… 11 students tested (Starkey's way), 11 students received hearing aids, 11 deaf students entering the building in the morning all left as "hearing" students by noon time!
Just because they can hear, these children still can't be placed in with the mainstream of students in school, they need to learn how to verbally interact with others first.
Their silence has been lifted and "that" world has been replaced with one full of noise. Each child must be taught to distinguish useful information from their new world of sound.
Then, they must be taught to "Speak": how to form letters of the alphabet; vowels, phonics, sentence structure and diction. Things they didn't have to think about in their "Silent World".
These are lessons their SPED teacher didn't have to consider before. Now, in addition to the program he or she had been teaching, a whole new "work load" has been placed on their shoulders.
This is where these computers can again provide relief to the teacher.
Speech therapy programs such as "Teach Me to Talk" from SoftTouch or Language Learning "English or Filipino" from Rosetta Stone can assist the SPED teacher.
Each child learns at his or her own pace. The more advanced learners, the ones who may require less individual attention can interface with computers giving the teacher more time to devote to the rest of the class.
Program long term success
Knowledge of the computer will help these children in a number of ways:
1. Giving each student the ability to pursue a higher education in high schools, colleges or universities.
2. Providing him or her with the opportunity to learn the most basic essential tool in an office environment.
3. Opening the door for securing new and better paying jobs after graduation.
4. And, giving him or her ideas for potential vocational opportunities on the internet as individual home businesses: Marketing, Accounting, Transcription, Programing, etc.

Forget ice bucket challenge. Mannequin is the new challenge in town.
Unless you've been living under a rock, surely you must have seen thousands of video clips from the 'Mannequin Challenge' that has swept through American social media.
The whole idea of the challenge is to make a video of yourself doing regular stuff - while in a frozen still mannequin position.
As there are too many clips to share with you on here - we've decided to show one or two clips that we consider worth seeing.
The best, features a group of actors who recreated R.Kelly's 'Trapped In The Closet' music video. And also one from Destiny's Child trio Beyonce, Kelly and Michelle. Plus another from Solange, Kelly Rowland, and a bunch of celebs at a Vogue event.
But our worst clip goes to Dallas Cowboys execs who did their 'Mannequin Challenge' on a plane. They kept shaking and couldn't keep still - which made the video funny.

The rise of sampling and the return of dance music thumping in the clubs mean that once again the DJ has come into focus. Tiesto, it appears, is at the top of his game and is atop the field. According to Forbes new list of the highest paid DJs, he made the most, scoring $22 million. This means Tiesto tickets are worth millions as club owners throughout the globe try and recruit him to blare his electronica laced with dubstep. The mere mention of his name is going to bring thousands to the club, making that venue the hottest club of the night.
His style is that of the future, combining the major club music developments since the rise of electronica since the late 1980s. Tiesto was there, then in his homeland of the Netherlands, and began an unlikely career. Over the course of time he has combined trance with the latest electronic developments and pop influences. This means a house-dubstep sound is the future. This should make the stock in glow sticks and reflective sunglasses soaring.
Stock in DJ Tiesto tickets has certainly soared, with 2012 being the ninth year he has orchestrated a world tour. With any hope, these latest Forbes rankings and his untitled globe-trotting trip will take him from third on DJMag's Top 100 DJ Ranking to first. At the very least, the recognition from one of the most popular and respected magazines in publication and a few magazine television shows will boost interest in his most recent mix, Club Life: Volume Two Miami. So will the traffic he is receiving on the In the Booth Series he started on YouTube. Tiesto gives his fans a chance to see just what it is like to perform as a DJ for one of these gigs.
This has truly been an incredible year for DJ Tiesto. His accomplishments are gaining traction outside of his niche and he has even had his death falsely reported (that means a person matters in the entertainment world).

By MIKE McCALL
Save for possibly the location, the first National Women's Soccer League championship will go down just as expected.
The two preseason favorites, the Portland Timbers and Western New York Flash, won their semifinal games on Saturday to set up a final that features some of the biggest names in women's soccer.
Perhaps the only surprise — a mild one — in the matchup is that the Flash will be the favorites next weekend, playing at home against a Portland squad that's dealing with a key injury and coming off a wild match in Kansas City.
For a closer look at how the Thorns and Flash booked their places in the final, here's a rundown of the two semifinals:
Down two goals after 25 minutes in Kansas City and playing without injured star forward Alex Morgan, it looked like the Thorns had reached the end of the road.
But Portland came roaring back to tie the score before Allie Long found the net in the first period of extra time to give the Thorns a 3-2 victory in front of 4,016 fans at Shawnee Mission District Stadium.
The home side took a quick lead behind goals from NWSL Rookie of the Year Erika Tymrak and Melissa Henderson, but Portland's third musketeer, U.S. midfielder Tobin Heath, pulled one back in the 33rd minute to keep hope alive.
Tiffany Weimer knocked home the equalizer in the 65th, sending the match to extra time and setting the table for Long's heroics in the 103rd.
The comeback saved face a bit for Portland. Even if they have fallen short of lofty expectations this season, it's hard to argue with a club finishing tied for first and reaching the final. However, there were troubling signs, as Heath had to leave the game with a foot injury and Morgan didn't leave the subs bench due to her MCL sprain.
On the other side, FCKC's season got even more heartbreaking. A late goal in the finale cost them the regular season title, and then they blew a two-goal lead at home in the semifinal. The story of their year can be summed up with this stat: they led in 18 of 23 matches but came away with 11 wins.
While one semifinal was chock full of drama, the Flash didn't leave much doubt with a 2-0 win at home over Sky Blue FC.
The NWSL Shield winners did exactly as they were supposed to, disposing of a struggling SBFC team with goals from Carli Lloyd in the first half and in stoppage time.
WNY outshot their opponents 14-5, led by the duo of Lloyd and Abby Wambach, and they'll head to the final riding an eight-game unbeaten streak.
With that kind of form, Portland's health concerns and a home crowd (7,316 were at Sahlen's Stadium on Saturday), the Flash will be liking their chances to solidify a fourth title across four leagues in their past four seasons.
What did you think? Surprised FCKC collapsed again? Is this the matchup you expected all along? Will Heath and Morgan suit up? And can the Thorns win without them?

"the Flash will be liking their chances to solidify a fourth title across four leagues in their past four seasons"
There's something you don't read every day.
Thanks for the report. Guess the league won't get its likely preferred high-attendance showcase sort of final in Portland, but that's the way it goes.
West of the Cascades
We'll miss watching the Thorns here in Portland next Saturday, but hope that the Rochester fans will turn out at least 10,000 for the final — they turned out 10,461 for the 2011 WPS championship game. Of course, that's half of the crowd we would have had here in Portland … but thank god the final is on a real soccer field and not a high school football field.
Was Alex Morgan tweeting while on the bench? I'm not 100% sure of the timing, but I think she was. In any case, she didn't like a joke that Beau Dure put up about how USWNT players get all the calls, she retweeted his joke and called him an idiot. I think this happened during the actual game. Do they allow someone to sit on the bench and tweet when they could go in at any moment?
Portland Timbers??? Come on!
"the Flash will be liking their chances to solidify a fourth title across four leagues in their past four seasons"
There's something you don't read every day.
That's just a sad reflection of the reality of women's professional soccer in the US of late.
Of course, the teams have been COMPLETELY revamped since last year – WNY only has a single player that was on last year's squad, and three of their players from last year (Alex Morgan, Christine Sinclair, and Becky Edwards) now play for Portland. So, in an interesting turn, if WNY repeats, only one player continues the run, but if Portland wins, three players continue the run of being on the championship team.
Flash Fan
Morgan, SInclair and Edwards did not play for the Flash in 2012 (WPSL Elite). That was 2011.
FCKC's attendance was about half of what the announced number was. Nowhere close to 4,000. Then a third of the crowd left at halftime. Just adds to the embarrassment of playing on a high school football field. These ladies are professionals and deserve much better than what KC has to offer. The franchise should be embarrased, and relocated to a city that actually wants them.
CW in LA
I hope the Flash will bring in some extra lighting to shine on the field; that place is pretty dark for night games.

USD/JPY: "Engulfing" highlights possibility to have new local low
The nearest "Window" acted as a support, so we've got bearish patterns here such as an "Engulfing", a "Doji", a "Three Black Crows" and a new arrival "High Wave". However, the last pattern has a quite weak confirmation. Therefore, the market is likely going to reach the 21 Moving Average soon. As we can see on the Daily chart, there's a "Dark Cloud" pattern, but it hasn't been confirmed yet, so the pair is likely going to test the closest support line, which could reverse the price movement into an upward direction.
There's a strong support by the 55 Moving Average, but we still don't have any bullish pattern so far. At the same time, we've got an "Engulfing" and a "Harami" at the last high, so the price is likely going to achieve the nearest support line.

Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML With Michael Gove demoted after he became too toxic for the Tories, and wage growth at its lowest level since ONS records began in 2001, Ed Miliband arrived well-armed at the final PMQs before the summer recess. He had the best of the opening exchanges on these subjects, asking Cameron why he had moved the Education Secretary after previously promising to keep him in his post for years. But midway through the session, Cameron produced a far more potent weapon in the form of a Harriet Harman quote on tax. During her new LBC phone-in show on Monday night, she said: Yes, I think people on middle incomes should contribute more through their taxes. As Labour sources have been quick to point out, Harman was referring to the principle of middle earners paying more than lower earners in a progressive tax system, but the comment was easily spun by Cameron as a call for a tax rise on the "squeezed middle". He declared: "One of the things that wasn't noticed and happened yesterday, the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, on the radio said this, and I want to quote it very precisely: 'I think people on middle incomes should contribute more through their taxes.' That is what she said ... There we are, that is their policy. The squeezed middle will be squeezed more. Now he needs to tell us which people are going to pay which taxes." Miliband, who was clearly unaware of the remarks, was thrown off his stride, while Harman responded by shouting "It's true!", only adding to the Tories' glee. From that point onwards, the PM was in control, with Miliband left only to accuse him of "desperate stuff". The session ended with a boisterous Caemeron declaring: "Everyone can see the contrast, in this party, the leader reshuffles the Cabinet. In his party, the shadow cabinet desperately want to reshuffle the leader." After the session, Miliband's spokesman (who was also unaware of the quote) accused Cameron of being "deeply dishonest", adding that "he knows this is not our party's position". He reminded journalists that Labour has pledged to cut taxes for 24 million middle and low income earners by reintroducing a 10p rate of tax, and made it clear that it is not proposing any tax rises for this group. But while true, this fall shorts of the categoric pledge - "we will not raise taxes on middle earners" - that Miliband will now be pressed to make. Unless he does, this will remain a potent attack line for the Tories. › The new Cabinet ministers are divided on the EU and gay rights George Eaton is political editor of the New Statesman.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › suggestions for my next pack
Nov 8, 2007 at 10:55 pm #1225766
The SMD Comet '07 has been my intro UL "Frameless" pack (frameless with stays). I've totally enjoyed the light weight qualities but, with no prior experience for contrast, I'm at a loss to fully understand the pack's pros and cons, or what my next pack should incorporate. Basically, I'm looking for a comparable pack, not necessarily the same design features, to broaden my UL pack experience.
Typical Trip: 2-3 days
Base Weight: +/-10lbs
Volume Used: I have room to spare in the 2600 cu.in. main compartment
Sleeping Pad: Torsolite or Nightlight Torso
Hydration: hose
Thus far my only major complaint with the Comet is my inability manage weights above 20-25lbs. My shoulders get sorely taxed (I'm trying extra padding next trip), and I really don't understand how anyone takes this pack above 25-30lbs.

The Jam2 is a definate improvement for 07, and I would definately not overlook it as a contender. Skurka just carried one for 6800 miles!Nov 9, 2007 at 6:36 am #1408488

I will vouch for the Jam2 as well. I got it above 30 lbs on 2 occasions and it worked just fine. The trick is to use a rolled sleeping pad unraveled with your gear stuffed inside to create a virtual frame for the pack. Without this anything above 25 lbs would be pretty painful.Nov 9, 2007 at 8:02 am #1408497

IMO, if you are looking for a pack that will carry heavy loads in significantly more comfort than your existing Comet — I see the Jam / Jam 2 essentially duplicating what you've already got. For loads much heavier than 30 lbs, I would start looking at the lighter ranges of more traditional, internal frame packs (i.e. Ospreys, Gregory's, etc.).
As for "broadening your UL experience" — the other side of the spectrum is to see if you can shed base weight to 10lbs — or even less — at least for trips of shorter duration. Again, YMMV, but to me, pretty much any decently-designed frameless pack should carry 20-23 lbs total weight reasonably comfortably — when packed correctly. Take a look at the very, very light weight Z Packs. I have one, and really like it for weights 25 lbs. and below.
Finally, Ryan brought up a good point above — much depends on how you pack your backpack.Nov 9, 2007 at 8:39 am #1408498

I've taken my Jam2 to around 24lbs – it handled just fine and I wasn't even using the hip-belt. The key (like others have said) is getting a rigid frame using your gear. It helps if you don't use the hydration pouch (just use the side mesh pockets) because then the pack sits flush against your back.Nov 9, 2007 at 8:43 am #1408499
Thanks for the JAM2 recommendations. I'd been circling that choice and had actually canceled the REI order in lieu of the Comet last Spring. And, Ben, I've noticed your recommendation for Z-Packs on more than a few posts. Are they publicly traded? ;?) I checked them out a couple months ago and really liked what I saw.
With the Comet, I place my torso light against my back in the compartment. Should the pad circle the pack with the JAM2? I had suspicions about poor packing in the beginning but thought I'd solved it. Maybe I'll work up a diagram of my current process and a gear list; that may shed some light. Damn, now I'm dwelling on that again.
Yer right Ben, I'm talking out both sides of my mouth while mentioning 30+lbs and UL as goals. My base weight is sub 10lbs. And the only reason I'm complaining about pack weights above 25lbs is due to my slim (oxymoron) choices in hiking partners, and a necessity to pack their loads. 2-3 days can mean 6 days of food on my shoulders, and suddenly I've got more than a tarp. AND next week there's a liter of wine too! But next week includes a special guest. So maybe my question should have been, "what pack will get me laid and stay UL?". HA!

@paul_treeLocale: Wowwww
You may be on target with the shoulder pads. I made a pack with no waist belt, so it's all on the shoulders, and it does well up to ~ 35 lb.
It does have a sort of ergonomic framesheet as well as an unrolled RidgeRest, but the main thing is it has the cushiest shoulder straps one could buy, off the heavier Osprey packs. Probably THIS is it. At age 16 and loaded with 55 lb, I remember thinking: weight for a good suspension is weight well spent.
So it might help! Especially since your problem is very specific. Forgot to check: Is the pack hanging off your back or does it sock into the small of your back correctly?
If test padding seems to work, you can get at least 12×18" sheets of foam, possibly EVA, at hobby/craft stores, those horrible ones that are like half crapbooking and 1/3 stinky candles. Michael's. They have all different colors.
Good Luck!Nov 9, 2007 at 8:54 am #1408502

To this I reply:
When it comes to your special guest, who cares which stays ultralight! Pack some candle lanterns, fancy cheese, and comfy pillows (these are multi-use in this sutation by the way..)
As for your other friends, that I assume aren't so special, I have no idea. I only have one pack and it wouldn't fit your criteria. It's the Nimbus Ozone and it's a hefty 3 lbs (I never take the lid, just liked the panel access).. I can say it carries 30lb loads very well. It's essentially what Benjamin suggested earlier..Nov 9, 2007 at 8:55 am #1408503

@ben2worldLocale: So Cal
Let the record show that a backpack by itself will NOT:
1. broaden your UL experience
2. get you laid
As for the Z Packs… as mentioned above, I think most all decently-designed frameless packs will carry <25-lbs loads pretty well. The two things I really like about Z packs:
1. incredibly light weight to start
2. the a la carte approach to adding all kinds of accessories — or none at allNov 9, 2007 at 9:06 am #1408505

The problem is we are all geeks and no amount of slick new stuff will improve our odds.
Perhaps by staying ultralight our joints will not wear down quite as rapidly as our heavy packing brethren and we will have our dance cards filled at the assisted-living complex.
Then the question will continue, as in mountaineering, as to whether to use oxygen or not, how much aid do I need for this route [looks like it's been climbed quite a few times before], or whether new technology will improve our performance. Whatever it is Ryan and Bozeman Mtn. Works will be on the leading edge, giving new meaning to the words "love that ultralight".Nov 9, 2007 at 9:13 am #1408506

I recommend the GG Mariposa. It has superb shoulder straps (wide and soft) and is large enough so that you can carry all of the gear required for a two-person, multi-day trip. My wife, who took the photo below, wore no pack at all during our 3-day hike to Havasupai.

I suspect that the packing or adjustments may be slightly off. Have you had the pack long? Maybe you need to "dial it in". My Essence '07 can handle loads like that (now that I have it dialed it). I have carried about 23 lbs (food and water incl.)a number of times and it carries very nicely. Since you have the carbon stays, i would imagine it should carry even better?
To me, sore shoulders would indicate that the pack is not transferring the weight to you hips properly – is your hip belt tight enough? Shoulder straps to tight? When I batten down the hatches on my Essence belt, the shoulder straps just touch my shoulders…not much load – and that's with a 3 oz GG pad. Silly questions, but maybe something to think about…
As for pack ideas, plenty out there – maybe you need a couple of packs (most do), one for the UL nights and one for when someone special tags along. :)
The ULA packs look fantastic, but you probably already know that.

I have not endorsed any pack that I own, so you know there is no false pride/customer loyalty here (at least not from me)
when I endorsed the Jam2 it was because of thoughtful consideration. I dont own that pack. I do have these:
SMD Starlite
GoLite Jam
ULA Amp
Zpacks Z1
homemade spinn pack
all of these packs use my GG sitlite pad for a frame. I dont care for the concentric pad set-up because it doesnt conform to my back just quite right. Its hard to recommend a pack but based on your desires, a 10 lb base weight, 25 lbs. max load, I still call the Jam2 the winner. Or, talk to Brian from ULA if "made in america" matters to you. Sorry Ben, but Gregory is made for mainstream consumers and the Z pack/G pack is not an exception just because its light. Its still not ULTRAlight.Nov 9, 2007 at 10:58 am #1408519

I am a wimp. I haven't found any frameless pack that I am happy with with more than 16lbs. Some of the ultralight packs with stays such as the Comet & Mariposa were ok up to around 30lb, but they weren't great for me. For off the shelf packs, I would recommend the granite gear vapor trail. Over the last 7 years I have tried out something like 15 packs. The vapor trail has been my go-to pack for the last 3 years. I have written up my experience with a variety of packs http://www.verber.com/mark/outdoors/gear/pack.html#lightNov 9, 2007 at 1:48 pm #1408545
Steve: I've entirely suspected that I need to "dial-in" the Comet pack but, honestly, that requires experience I'm only just building. Maybe I can gear up this weekend, take pics of how the pack rides and how it's packed, and post those for advice.
I'd like to get both the Jam2 and Z-Pack on my back for testing. Hmmm….

I load my pack and then work it like a pizza dough – pushing bulges in, pulling dents out, spinning it in the air sometimes – tightening the compression straps as it takes shape. It's a work of art when I'm done. ;) Give it a try, it really does make a difference the way it is shaped.

Although I don't own one, by all accounts the Comet is a fine pack for its intended use. I do use a Jam (original) Pack which fills a similar need.
I wouldn't be looking for a similar pack to replace the Comet, unless there is a specific problem that you have identified. If I were you, I would access my needs for a completely different type of trip and not even compare it to the Comet (apples & oranges).
For instance, I have a Granite Gear Nimbus Ozone (3 lbs.) for winter trips in New England for me and the wife. Like you have experienced, I carry about 75% of our joint load leaving her the remainder. This makes sense because I am over 6' just under 200 lbs. and she wears a petite size 4.
I consider the 3 lb. pack a good investment in additional weight because I couldn't last anytime with a frameless, lightweight pack in those conditions. With that "heavy-duty" suspension, I can't even feel the load! I know that I'm carrying more TOTAL weight but, it FEELS like less weight and to me, what it FEELS like is what's important.
I also have a "uber-light" pack, mostly for cold weather day-hikes and fanny packs for summer day-hikes. So IMHO,it's not which pack is best. It's which pack is best suited for the conditions.Nov 13, 2007 at 12:31 am #1408852

Deploy multi-node Hadoop clusters to harness the Cloud for storage and large-scale data processing
About This Video
Familiarize yourself with Hadoop and its services, and how to configure them
Deploy compute instances and set up a three-node Hadoop cluster on Amazon
Set up a Linux installation optimized for Hadoop
In Detail
Hadoop is an Apache top-level project that allows the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using simple programming models. It allows you to deliver a highly available service on top of a cluster of computers, each of which may be prone to failures. While Big Data and Hadoop have seen a massive surge in popularity over the last few years, many companies still struggle with trying to set up their own computing clusters.
This video series will turn you from a faltering first-timer into a Hadoop pro through clear, concise descriptions that are easy to follow.
We'll begin this course with an overview of Amazon's cloud service and its use. We'll then deploy Linux compute instances and you'll see how to connect your client machine to Linux hosts and configure your systems to run Hadoop. Finally, you'll install Hadoop, download data, and examine how to run a query.
This video series will go beyond just Hadoop; it will cover everything you need to get your own clusters up and running. You will learn how to make network configuration changes as well as modify Linux services. After you've installed Hadoop, we'll then go over installing HUE—Hadoop's UI. Using HUE, you will learn how to download data to your Hadoop clusters, move it to HDFS, and finally query that data with Hive.
Learn everything you need to deploy Hadoop clusters to the Cloud through these videos. You'll grasp all you need to know about handling large data sets over multiple nodes.

Comments about oreilly Building Hadoop Clusters:
While reviewing building hadoop cluster video series from packt pub, i really find it very impressive and easy way to learn building hadoop cluster on amazon ec2 step by steps. It talks about all the aspects of building a startup cluster with 3 nodes and very good guidance about hadoop 2 & security. Overall, i am satisfied with the video series and i defenately recommend this. Cons would be it's not too much detail which i expect but one can always have a complete ebook and go through it to gain more and more of insight.http://bit.ly/1kNiHSr.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

We thank Dr. Medford for an interest regarding our study.1 There has been a clinical interest in the use of leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs) in asthmatic patients who have already been treated with inhaled corticosteroids. However, a further benefit in symptoms and lung function from therapy combining LTRAs and inhaled corticosteroids is contrary to this finding. In this study, we found that pranlukast administration added little efficacy to inhaled corticosteroid therapy for reduction in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in induced sputum from asthmatic patients. However, it is possible that the trends toward reduction in airway VEGF levels after pranlukast administration in steroid-treated asthmatic patients might have reached statistical significance if more patients had been included in our study.
The mechanism of the reduction in airway VEGF levels in asthma induced by pranlukast administration is unclear. One report2has indicated that asthmatic patients exhibited a greater expression of VEGF receptors (flt-1 and flk-1) in the airway mucosa. Moreover, increased VEGF expression in asthmatic patients were identified by infiltrating inflammatory cells in the submucosa in order of abundance as CD34+ cells → eosinophils → macrophages → T cells → mast cells. Therefore, one possible explanation is that pranlukast administration decreased airway VEGF levels via the reduction of infiltrating inflammatory cells. We also think that analysis of cell-associated VEGF isoform (VEGF189 and VEGF206) expression is important to understand VEGF bioactivity in asthma. Though the results were not shown in our study, we examined cell-associated VEGF isoform expression by immunohistochemical analysis. On the basis of these results, we found a significant correlation between the expression of free VEGF and that of cell-associated VEGF. In our recent study,3 we determined that the interaction between airway microcirculation and VEGF may be a key element in the pathophysiology of asthma. Therefore, pranlukast administration might decrease airway microvascular permeability through, at least in part, a decrease in airway VEGF levels in asthmatic patients.

Almost every morning, we go to the back of the property past the pomegranate trees and the tomato garden, past someone's property with at least four big rabbits and then someone else's property with goats. We call out "kalimera" (good morning) to the people in their gardens and patios and then we are then greeted with a wonderful view of the ocean and boats. For the first ...
Beach, sand, suntan lotion, Mediterranean's
... and we arrived in the nick if time as the place was totally full within half an hour or so. Today felt cooler, possibly because we had a genuine breeze today, akin to what you'd get on a NZ beach though we think the day was a bit cooler anyway as was the evening - either that or we have acclimatised a bit. We heard quite a few Aussie accents on the beach, mainly young ones and the talk amongst them was almost universally of how much alcohol they've consumed. There's something ...
Platy Yialos Mykonos -
... 4:30 pm onwards they become dance clubs with music pumping out loudly and dancers to create an atmosphere. It looked like a Zumba class. We stayed and watched til around 7pm. We observed the mating rituals of some young ones as young men and women took the last opportunity to hit on each other - kind of like the last dance opportunity in a pub. By this time a lot of the day time beach people had gone home and some were returning after being home and coming out again ...

He dropped them back to Far Our, then came back for me. The third and last night however didn't look as good. We made the trek home on foot and arrived home and hour and 20 later.
All the clubs in Ios ...

really relaxing, the spa looked like Pingu's house with lots of candles. It was so good we

Waiting for the ferry we played a couple of games like going round the circle

National Survey of Adolescent Males, Old Cohort,
Waves 1-3, 1988, 1990-91, 1995
The 1988 National Survey of Adolescent Males is a nationally representative
household survey of never-married males who were 15 to 19 years old in 1988,
when they were sampled. The 1988 sample was a nationally representative multistage
stratified probability sample, drawn by the Institute for Survey Research (ISR),
Temple University. Black and Hispanic males were oversampled. The original
weights were created, based on probability of selection, non-response and poststratification
to the 1987 Current Population Survey. In 1990-91, ISR attempted to reinterview
the original sample. In 1995, Research Triangle Institute (RTI) attempted to

|How to get a ref. to StandardManager / tomcat overview servlet
|Tue, 11 Sep 2001 22:06:52 GMT
Im trying to get an overview of the utilization of a tomcat server. One simple utility Id like is something that lists all the http sessions that are being managed by tomcat. in org.apache.tomcat.session.StandardManager, there is a findSessions() method which Id like to use. I dont know how to get a hold of a reference to the StandardManager in use. I have also noticed that StandardSession has a getManager() method. StandardSession is not a public class so I am not able to cast an HttpSession into a StandardSession. I see from the admin/ sample servlet that the FacadeManager is used to getRealRequest() and getRealContext(). There is no getRealSession(). What can I do to get at the list of active sessions? Is there already a management servlet that can show me this kind of information? Thank you Don -- ** Home web site: http://klickitat.yi.org ** BeeHive Games, Multiplayer Bluetooth PDA Gaming http://beehivegames.com ** irc: irc.openprojects.net nick: don-o channels: #palmchat,#java

Striking postal workers yesterday accused their bosses of donning uniforms and driving around London in Royal Mail vans to convince the public that postmen and women were going back to work.
At Europe's largest sorting office, Mount Pleasant in central London, wildcat strikers said they were convinced there is a dirty tricks campaign. The latest claim emanating from the picket lines is that managers from as far afield as Scotland had been bussed in so that senior management could give the impression of a divided workforce by taking part in the subterfuge.
"Some management are putting on uniforms and driving around in vans," one striking postman said. "Others aren't wearing suits - they're dressing down so that it looks like workers are breaking the strike."
The allegations revealed the deep bitterness that many postal workers hold against their bosses after weeks of attacks from senior management. The postal workers are now so fearful of recriminations for taking part in the strike that none would give their names to The Independent on Sunday.
"There are cameras up there," said one - a family man in his mid-thirties - pointing to CCTV equipment above the main entrance. "And there are guys driving past taking notes - it's like their own little police force."
The unofficial strike at Mount Pleasant started last Tuesday. Yesterday they were feeling the cold, but were determined to dig in for the long haul. "Just wait until it starts snowing," joked one.
"We might fall on hard times," admitted one postmen, a father with two young daughters, "but I'm doing it for their future."
But for others, the sacrifice is too much to bear.
"I need to put food on the table for my little boy," said a security guard who went in to work. "How do I look him in the eye if he's hungry?"

Top Ten Most Annoying Characters In the Toy Story MoviesWho would you say the most obnoxious, loud, and just plain annoying character in this fun series?
The Top Ten
Jessie is my favorite along with Woody, but that hay ha or whatever is actually annoying and hate when she jumps around all the time.. She must get really dizzy
Honestly, I feel that this is a horrible theme. I mean it! Seriously, who cares about the most annoying characters. This is just stupid!
I really like the character of jessie its just that her voice gets annoying after a while
The only reason I didn't like Jessie as much as Woody and Buzz and some of the other toys is because she was denying the truth about Andy putting them in the attic and it was her idea to go to SunnySide which got them all into the whole mess. - PixtolV 2 Comments
He wasn't annoying. More as down right evil
This should be Number 2. Of of Course Number 1. - TopTens2013
I like him though, he's pretty cool as a villain. He raises a toddler daycare as a prison camp - Pixtol
I don't see how she wasn't on the list yet, she was made for the exact purpose to BE annoying, laugh out loud. - keep-me-posted
How is she annoying? I don't get this.
Sid is a moron, and is mean to toys. He replaced Janie's head with a dinosaur's and scared the crap out of Hannah. But I like that scene anyway because of her reaction to the doll. Sid is still funny, though.
Sid's really annoying, Especially when he suddenly becomes a surgeon. Funny though.
Buzz Lightyear change the boy bedroom
Before:Woody After:Buzz Loghtyear - Fairlies
He's cool what no toy story characters are annoying in my opinionV 1 Comment
She isn't that bad in the movie, in the Play-Station game, she gets on my nerves though! "Buzz! " "Buzz" (she calls until you come) Then she keeps on calling until you answer again! And on and on (even when you complete your mission, she calls just to say thank you! ) Not the worst character, she just frustrated me in the game a little.
What's Jessie doing on this list
Really, guys? He's not even a bad character.V 2 Comments
The Contenders
But I like him. He's funny and feisty.
Woody is the most stupid of all and not Sid becomes a surgeon, becomes a garbage collects in Toy Story 3
I disagree with this guy. woody is not stupid at all. Plus, this list is mediocre. None of the characters are annoying.
It's Barbie. What do you expect? Disney/Pixar actually handled Barbie well for her standards. They gave her big thighs. Let's strip her! - The Ultimate Daredevil, listening to Problem (Monster Remix) ft. Will.i.am
His face makes me want to punch the T.V.

Gen 1:27 (NKJV) says, "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."
Gen 2:7 (NKJV)says, "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being."
Gen 2:22 (NKJV)says, "Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man."
It is obvious that God made a body for the man in Gen 2:7 and a body for the woman (out of the man's rib) in Gen 2:22. The way I understand it, is that God made man, the race, and as a spiritual being in Gen 1:27..So He first CREATED the spirit and the made the flesh.
The thing I don't understand is when God created Man the Spirit in Gen 1:27, He created them to His IMAGE, BOTH male and female. That is confusing, because it sounds as if God is both male and female in spirit, because in verse 27 it stated that He created man (the race) in His (God's) image, both male and female. The way I was taught was that Spirits have no gender…(I don't have scriptural reference on that.)
That is probably where a lot of occult groups get their "proof" of God being male and female, which we know and has been taught is not true, because God is "male".
Do I understand this wrong, or is there an easy explanation for this, maybe another verse that can prove that spirit has no gender??? I don't know.
The confusion comes from the fact that Genesis 1 is God's account of the Creation and Chapter 2 is Adam's account based on what God had told him. In 2:7 Adam is repeating the story of his own creation, saying his body was formed first and then God breathed His spirit into it giving him life. The reason God created them male and female is because Adam and Eve were the only two humans directly created by God. From that time on the creation process was delegated to man in the form of pro-creation which requires both a man and a woman. As Paul explained, the union of man and woman is intended to be a model of Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33) and is not meant to imply anything about the Spirit of God.
Through out the Bible, God is always referenced in the male gender. But God isn't human and attempts to assign human characteristics to Him are doomed to failure. God created us in His image, and ever since then unbelieving humans have tried to re-create God in ours. It doesn't work.

Evaluation of business initiatives in health care purchasing
The Foundation's Changes in Health Care Financing and Organization program was designed to support research, demonstration, and evaluation projects examining major changes in health care financing.The purpose of this project is to evaluate employer health care purchasing initiatives that are based on "value-managed health care purchasing." ESRI will subcontract with the Midwest Business Group on Health and the National Business Coalition on Health to study business coalitions that have designed and implemented new purchasing strategies geared to improving quality and reducing health care costs. The research will comprise three stages: (1) a process evaluation; (2) an assessment of intermediate outcomes; and (3) a quantitative impact evaluation. The objective of this study is to provide employers and policy makers with additional information about the effectiveness of community-based efforts of business coalitions and individual companies to reform the way health care is purchased.

Aureliano in Palmira From the Rossini Opera Festival
Rossini's Aureliano in Palmira, a story of romantic intrigue among warring leaders of the ancient world, is rarely heard in modern opera houses, though it is home to some of his best-known music. Its rousing overture was later recycled to kick off Rossini's comedy, The Barber of Seville.
On World of Opera, host Lisa Simeone presents Aureliano in Palmira from a festival that's become renowned for resurrecting the composer's many, unjustly neglected dramas, the annual Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro, Italy. Tenor Michael Spyres stars in the title role, and soprano Jessica Pratt gives a smashing performance as Aureliano's nemesis, Queen Zenobia of Palmira. The production also features the G. Rossini Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor Will Crutchfield.
Zenobia: Jessica Pratt (soprano)
Arsace: Lena Belkina (mezzo-soprano)
Aureliano: Michael Spyres (tenor)
Publia: Raffaella Lupinacci (mezzo-soprano)
Gran sacerdote: Dimitri Pkhaladze (bass)
Licinio: Sergio Vitale (baritone)
G. Rossini Symphony Orchestra
Chorus of the Teatro Comunale, Bologna
