Among those joining the backlash is writer Barbara Ehrenreich, whose revelation about the perils of positive thinking came as she entered into one of the more miserable chapters of her life.
"As I was being treated for breast cancer I was assaulted by the message that my illness was going to be a great experience," she said in a phone interview from her home in New Rochelle, N.Y. "Be cheerful, I was told. And it made me sick. It was infantilizing. Here was the most serious disease of my life, and I was being encouraged to buy a teddy bear."
In a recent Harpers article, she angrily lambasted the culture of positivity as a sinister, victim-blaming cult that "seems to reduce our tolerance of other people's suffering." And she is now writing a book on the "cult of cheerfulness."
Ms. Ehrenreich has no problem with happiness per se. What irritates her is the notion that point of view is all that matters when it comes to changing the world around us - as if switching from the proverbial glass half empty to one that is half full, we could actually change the world.
While positive psychology points to rising levels of depression as a legitimate problem in our society (Prof. Ben-Shahar warns of a great "emotional bankruptcy"), its solutions are inward-looking and facile. Imagine, for a moment, where we'd be if Martin Luther King Jr. had decided to purge his negative emotions by keeping a gratitude journal?
Although there is certainly good to be had from a philosophy that encourages people toward gratitude, altruism and love, the science can be difficult to separate from the snake oil. In the same way that sensible nutritional science can be warped into fad diets, there is a growing overlap between the positive psychology movement and self-help hype, between legit research and cheap, quick fixes.
In his recently published book Happier: Learn the Secrets to Daily Joy and Lasting Fulfilment, Prof. Ben-Shahar describes the advent of positive psychology as a "revolution" that will "bridge the gap between the ivory tower and Main Street."
But if this sounds refreshingly egalitarian, the book's conclusions are not exactly groundbreaking. Suggestions for improving personal happiness include meditation, keeping a journal and appointing close friends and relatives to your "happiness board."
Meanwhile, Prof. Seligman is busy cementing his status as an intellectual turned self-help guru. On the website www.reflectivehappiness.com, a $9.95 monthly subscription buys you access to "happiness building exercises" and a Q&A with the doc himself.
Bracketing the question of whether tenured scientists ought to be selling self-help to the masses for personal profit is a larger problem: If positive psychology is so good, why isn't it working?
According to recent numbers from Ipsos Reid, one in six North Americans have been clinically diagnosed with depression at some point in their lives. That's 1.8 million people in Canada alone. Mental illness also costs an estimated $300-billion in North America each year. This despite the growing popularity of yoga, life coaching and motivational seminars.
Much like the diet industry, the quest for happiness creates its own need. In fact, sociologist Micki McGee says our relentless personality correction results in "the belaboured self" - a self that is in a constant state of restless renovation and self-improvement.
The more crap that life throws at us, the more optimistic we are expected to become - an internal paradox that will quickly leave the average person (and particularly the pessimists among us) feeling exhausted, demoralized and even more depressed than when we started out.
Self-help doesn't work, in Prof. McGee's view, because the void it seeks to fill is actually economic, not personal. "We all want to feel that we have control over our lives," she explains, "but at the end of the day there's no way to insulate yourself from the vagaries of globalized capitalism."
Given the inexorable external factors - skyrocketing inflation, the melting polar ice cap, the international holy war - is it really possible (or even advisable) for us to give up our stone-age commitment to anxiety and pessimism?Report Typo/Error

Asia-Pacific Financial Deregulation

BeschreibungRecent events in East Asia have highlighted the risks of volatility and contagion in a financially integrated world. Countries in the region had been at the forefront of the movement towards increased integration but the crisis that struck Thailand in July 1997, and the rapidity with which it spread to other East Asian nations, suggested that all was not well. Weaknesses in domestic financial intermediation, poor corporate governance and deficient government responses to large capital inflows all played a role in the build-up of vulnerability. Asia-Pacific Financial Deregulation provides an insight into financial liberalisation and structural reform in the region generally and as illustrated by a number of countries.

Letter of the week
We are considering taking a month off in mid-January with two children, who will then be aged four and 18 months. We want to go somewhere on the backpacker trail, perhaps Chile or Sri Lanka. We must consider vaccinations and want to avoid malarial regions. Trekking is out, but we want to explore areas of outstanding natural beauty, relax on a beach and visit historic places. What are the options?
Bridget Cooper, Hove
Unless you forgo your malaria requirement, Sri Lanka is out, despite fulfilling all the other criteria. If this is your prime concern, have a look at the World Health Authority's malaria map at http://www.who.int/ith.
Even so, you still have a wide choice. A month in Turkey would let you get your teeth into the country's history and check out the beaches. Further afield, Cuba is a cocktail of tropical resorts, outdoor adventure and noise and colour to keep the young wide- eyed and the old shifting their feet.
A month in northern Chile and southern Peru (and parts of Bolivia, if you wish) could be spent looking round the Atacama Desert and historic sites such as the ghost town of Humberstone and San Pedro, gateway to geyser fields and stunning Andean views. There are some must-see national parks in the area - Parque Nacional Lauca is home to flamingoes, dramatic volcanoes and colonial chapels. From here it's easy to continue up to Lake Titicaca and on to the Inca sites of Peru.
The beaches aren't tropical paradises, but the Chilean outpost of Arica is an interesting place to stop for a couple of days. Beware strong currents if you take a dip, however.
Comfortable buses link the main cities and there's plenty of good accommodation.
Fear and loathing in Egypt
We are considering taking our children, aged six and eight, to Luxor in Egypt for a week in August. However, after too much research and talking to too many people, we are worried about (in no particular order): heat, mosquitoes, terrorism, hepatitis A, typhoid, drinking water, and meningitis.
What do we really need to worry about, what jabs do we need and is it worth the discomfort and risk?
Michael Olenick, New Barnet
Egypt is worth the effort. It offers thousands of years of history, sunshine and a warm welcome for families. There are no security concerns that don't also apply to other countries in the region.
If health is an issue, consult your GP a few weeks before going, and get the latest news from MastaMasta and the Nomad Travel Health helpline (09068 633414). Malaria isn't generally a problem in the area you're visiting, but always check.
It should be easy to get your young ones into the spirit of a trip here. If telling gruesome tales of ancient life and wandering round giant temples isn't enough, camel rides into the desert will fire their imaginations.
Yes, it will be hot, with temperatures nudging 40C at times, but this is an incentive to limit your ambitions and not exhaust everyone. Balance exploring with swimming time - make sure your hotel has a pool - and stick to lots of mineral water and known brands of soft drinks. Lonely Planet's Travel with Children is full of good tips.
Greece for the whole family
My mother has always dreamt of visiting the Greek islands, and my sister and I plan to take her there next Easter for her sixtieth birthday. My sister lives near Carcassonne with her husband and two girls, aged 12 and 15. My mum and her husband live in Nantes and I am writing from Glasgow, where I live with my Scottish wife, our little Anna and, soon, a new arrival! So I am looking for a villa or traditional hotel for our motley crew, which will be aged from four months to 60-plus years.
Cédric Moreau, Glasgow
It's as easy to get to Greece from France as from the UK - there are scheduled services with connections to islands and direct charter flights.
There are suitable villas and hotels all over the islands. Try www.greektravel.com/greekislands and the Greek National Tourist Office (020 7495 9300). Ask your mum to suggest a few islands, and take it from there.
Recommended operators in the UK include Filoxenia (01422 375999) and Laskarina (01629 822203).
For your family in France, try Nouvelles Frontieres and OTU, a student site with good prices for travellers of all ages.
Killing time in Miami
I have just less than seven hours to kill at Miami airport next April with children aged three, eight and 10. Is there anything nearby that we could go to?
Tara Potter, Hampshire
Leave your luggage at the airport and head for the beach. Crandon Park, on Key Biscayne, is fine for kids, with gentle waves, a nature centre and a fairground. If you want to cool off in a historic setting try the Venetian Pool, a huge, Twenties extravaganza.
If you don't want to get wet, go to the Miami Museum of Science and Space Transit Planetarium. Given your limited time it's best to use taxis. For more ideas, visit http://kids.miamidade.gov.
· We welcome letters. Tom Hall and Fiona Christie from Lonely Planet address as many as possible here. Email email@example.com or write to Escape, 119 Farringdon Road, London EC1R 3ER. The writer of the week's star letter wins a Lonely Planet guide of their choice (so include a daytime telephone number and postal address). No individual correspondence can be entered into.

Fresh changes in Land Acquisition Bill draft
The percentage of land owners, whose consent is a must for acquiring land for private purpose, has been raised from 67 per cent to 80 in the proposed bill.
New Delhi: Fresh changes have been made in the draft Land Acquisition Bill under which the level of consent of landowners for acquiring land for private purpose has been made stiffer following a suggestion from UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi. The percentage of land owners, whose consent is a must for acquiring land for private purpose, has been raised from 67 per cent to 80 in the proposed bill.
Disclosing the changes in the measure, Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar, who heads Group of Ministers on the bill, said consent of land owners was not required for acquiring land for public purpose. The proposed changes will soon be circulated among 14 members of the GoM for their views and consent, he told reporters after a brief meeting with Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh on the issue.
"A detailed discussion was made in the last GoM. Some of them suggested changes and these were discussed and finalized today," he said. The key changes include consent of 80 per cent of landowners if government acquires land for private purpose. The changes come against the backdrop of recommendations of Gandhi suggesting raising the consent level of land owners for acquiring land for private purpose. In the last meeting on October 16, GoM had approved for a provision for consent of two-third (67 per cent) of land owners for acquiring land for private purpose.

WASHINGTON, April 9, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- NASA's official Twitter feed, @NASA, has won its second consecutive Shorty award for the best government use of social media. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20081007/38461LOGO) The Shorty Award honors the best of social media across sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, YouTube, Foursquare and others. NASA took the prize Monday at the fifth annual Shorty Awards ceremony in New York. The @NASA acceptance tweet was, "We're sharing the universe 1 tweet at a time. Be inspired! Follow @NASA & RT if you love science & space.
#ShortyAwards." "Our success stems from inspiring content that connects with people," said David Weaver, NASA's associate administrator for communications. "Our story of science and innovation resonates with everyone. Social media enables us to reach people directly like never before." The Shorty Awards also recognized NASA's @MarsCuriosity account as Foursquare Mayor of the Year. Curiosity, a robotic rover, has been using the mobile application Foursquare since October 2012 to check in at locations it has been exploring on Mars. Users on Foursquare can keep up with Curiosity as it checks in at key locations and posts photos and tips. Including Monday's two awards and last year's Twitter account recognition, NASA now has five Shorty Awards. The agency also won in 2009 for its use of Twitter for the Mars Phoenix Lander mission, and astronaut Doug Wheelock was awarded the Real Time Photo of the Year in 2011 for his "Moon from Space" picture. NASA uses almost 500 social media accounts to communicate its mission to a wide range of followers. The @NASA twitter account has 3.8 million followers, the most in the federal government. NASA also maintains presences on Facebook, Google+, Flickr, and other popular platforms. NASA Socials, formerly known as NASA Tweetups, allow social media followers to attend functions and interact with NASA's engineers, astronauts and scientists.

Nick: The Sound of Music
I had just been wandering the school trying to figure out where everything was when I heard someone singing along with a piano. I followed the sound of the music until I reached a room. Opening the door I walked in. No one noticed me.
There were three other people in the room. A boy and girl I had yet to meet and Sam the girl whom I had run into earlier. When I first saw Sam I had thought she'd be more into the electric guitar but her voice was amazing! And the girl at the piano was great too. I remember when I was little and I attempted to play the piano but I soon found out that it wasn't something I really liked doing.
I had moved into a corner away from the door just as Sam stopped singing and had begun to leave. The boy then called her name. I was guessing that, by the look on her face, he hadn't made a good first impression on her.

Yeah I saw him
He said he had to go
But he gave me this note
And asked me to read it to you
Very slow...
"To whom this should concern
Waited so long
But you never showed
You never do what
You don't want to do
Yeah I waited
For quite the time
Waited forever
I thought we said...
Never mind!
Because you won't be bothered
By the things of the past
You can't be reminded
Of the ways you wouldn't want to be
A father
To someone who means nothing to you
Because you were just a sperm donor
To an unwilling patient
And I was the result
Of your fucked up science.
You want the note
Or should I toss it?

Siege of Oran (1556)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Siege of Oran of 1556 occurred when Ottoman troops from Algiers besieged the Spanish garrison in Oran. The siege, by land and sea, was unsuccessful and had to be lifted in August 1556 when the Ottoman fleet of 40 galleys was recalled for duty in the East Mediterranean.[1]
During the time the Ottomans were occupied in the siege, the Moroccans, who were allied with the Spanish, occupied the city of Tlemcen.[1]

Mercury Prize-nominated band Friendly Fires are staging a star-studded charity gig after the death of their friend Adam Connolly last week.
Jack Savidge, who was Connolly's flatmate, launched an appeal to find the 29-year-old on the Friendly Fires Facebook and Twitter accounts after he went missing on Wednesday 14 November.
On Saturday police discovered his body on Hackney Marshes, close to the Lee Valley Ice Rink.
After hearing of his death, Friendly Fires thanked fans on their Facebook page, saying: "The search for Adam Connolly has been called off and the news is bad. Thank you for all your help in spreading his picture and info."
The band will hold the event on 12 of December at XOYO to "celebrate Adam's live as well as to raised awareness and funds to prevent male suicide, which has recently seen a rise again in the UK".
Connolly's girlfriend Juliette Hughes said in a statement: "We wanted to do something that celebrates Adam's life, his amazing creativity, and his beautiful warm, kind soul as well as showing how much we deeply love and miss him."
She added: "A day will never pass that we don't think about him and wish he was still here with us. The evening of the 12th is our way of sharing a little bit of happiness around recent events by picking out some music by a selection of bands and DJs that mean something to Adam in one way or another."
It will be compered by comedian Mat Horne and will features The Horrors, Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve, Sexbeat, Ben Conershp, Chapel Club, Trailer Trash Tracys and the Holy Trinity DJ, plus "a very special guest to be announced".
Tickets cost £20 and all profits will go to charity chosen by the Connolly family.

Education policy would greatly aid in the improvement of U.S. students' scholastic achievements if it borrowed a page from medicine and used more research-based evidence to evaluate programs and best practices, writes Jon Baron in this Education Week Commentary. Baron cites examples of programs that have been identified by well-designed randomized-control trials as being highly effective.
According to Baron, "The very existence of a few research-proven educational programs ... suggests that a concerted government effort to apply the rigorous methods used in medicine to education policy could fundamentally increase the effectiveness of such policy."
What do you think? Should education policy be more research-based? Could medicine provide a model?

text: Nerdy Girls Cause Nerdgasms shares Nerdy girls have been known to cause certain eruptions in your pants (or panties). Nothing can cause a nerdgasm better than seeing a sexy chick showing her love for all things sci-fi, video gaming, super hero-ish, pop culture coolness type of geeked out stuff. Not sure if that made sense, but you catch my drift and see where I am going with this. We tend to appreciate those girls out there who are legitimate fans of whatever their nerd preferences are. I mean, we love the tease that other girls can offer by wearing something nerdgasm inducing, but it is so much hotter when that certain babe really loves what she is flaunting. We realize there are numerous debates online about what make a girl nerdy or geeky (just one "fake gamer girls" example). However, we do not care to discuss this here. Just sit back and take in the nerdy eyecandy and let those nerdgasms flow.

Discussion in 'Colorado Football Message Board' started by jrod212, Mar 15, 2009.
I've never said this before, and I assure you I'm not making a joke:
He looked like a physical specimen in his mugshot last year. His physical development just in his neck and shoulders was remarkable when compared to his high school recruiting photos.
I hope he earns his shot.
Big as MTM? Wasn't Katoa supposed to be a OLB?
Lots of outside linebackers are 300 pounds.
Like Justin Nonu?
It all comes full circle I suppose...
I have two questions:
How did MTM look? Limp? Crutches? Cane?
How was the ride?
If he is as big as MTM then he us huge. MTM is one of the biggest players I've seen on campus
This picture is from the spring game last year. I'm not as small as it looks but these guys were still much bigger than me.
Well, being that scott is a row above you and you're standing in the walking part of the isle, of course they look bigger:smile2:
MTM is 6-4 315, last I checked katoa was 6-1/6-2 and 225. That's a slight difference as to what the other poster stated.
i mean, they were walking together, and they pretty much looked like if they were to lay down, katoa would almost have as much surface area covered compared to mtm. mtm had a black heavy duty brace thing around his knee. he was probably limping, but katoa was sorta infront of him from my perspective. katoa is huge, like has nfl linebacker written all over him, because he looks as big as a door frame.
I would not fight Lynn Katoa.
Well duh, he fights with rocks.
You must have been the "tough guy" with the taser.
Who's the midget?
Yeah. I'd hit him with a taser and run like hell. :lol:
A man the size of a mountain shouldn't need a rock in any fight.
Hope he gets cleared to play.
i believe he is cleared to play. he needs to make grades. its in his hands now, if my understanding of the situation is correct.
Too much has been made of this. He was simply crushing the rock in his hands to remove persperation so his hand would be dry when he was trying to grip the guys head for a shotput throw.
In all seriousness, I hope he can get things straight, or he will end up being a bouncer somewhere instead of the professional playing ball.
Why do people nit pick on Katoa? I have never seen him given any "Love" by C.U fans.. I for one was hoping for the best and still do! Kick some ass lynn on the field for the Buffs. I for one am proud you chose C.U. and can't wait for you to nail a Husker :slayer:
Hey! I love the guy!
I also can't wait to see him on the field, looking fierce in the black and gold.
The more I think about Katoa and how people give him crap :sad1: the more i get pissed off.. He is a Buff, one of of us! Hawkens let him into the family . Thanks Jasper for supporting the young man!
Hey, all I know about the guy is he is full of potential but made some really bad decisions and now can't seem to make the grades. I hope it works for him too but he has to stop shooting himself in the foot.
If someone is going to take up a scholarship, they could at least not get in trouble, and maintain a GPA that keeps them in school. If not, then hit the road and let someone else take that full ride.
Timbuff "shooting himself in the foot" I think he has shot one round..If Lynn has done some other "Stuff" I think this is rumor mill crap from CSU/Husker Suck pumps. As long as the Hawk has him on the team I have hope :smile:
I don't know how much stock I would put into this but, a poster from the other site said he talked to katoa (has previous to this also) week to 2 weeks ago and said katoa expects to play and is excited to get out there in 2009.
I don't put much stock into it but we'll see, I hope he does play and tears it up.
Buffsyko: YOU ARE THE MAN.. good news about Katoa#$%^ NO more of this crap that has dogged him.. Go Buffs, and KATOA
Well obviously he isn't going to kick him off the team now after standing by him throgh the assault thing last year. If he had grade problems before, then I am guessing he was on academic probation from last fall, and now he has to get the GPA up over a 2.0 by the end of this semester. I am sure it can be done and I am pulling for him, but at the same time, if the grades aren't up by the end of this semester then that is at least strike 2, and probably strike 3.
Most people I dealt with at CU that got on ac-pro learned their lesson that first semester and went on to do very well in school after that. Sometimes all people need is a good wakeup call and they are hot to trot after that.
He has been given several chances, I hope he gets it done this time and he flourishes here. We need our 4 star recruits to come in and produce.
Easy man, it's from the other site and I haven't seen it posted anywhere else so take it with a grain of salt. I'm not one to get my hopes up with this situation but I hope it has some truth to it, that would be great.
Separate names with a comma.


text: BELLEVILLE, ON, April 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Bioniche Life Sciences Inc. (TSX: BNC) (ASX: BNC), a research-based, technology-driven Canadian biopharmaceutical company, today announced that sponsorship of its Phase III bladder cancer product - Urocidin™ - has been returned to the Company from former development/marketing partner, Endo Pharmaceuticals (Endo). It was announced in December, 2012 that Bioniche and Endo had come to an agreement whereby Endo would return global rights to Urocidin™. Since that time, Bioniche and Endo have been working together to ensure a smooth transition. Endo has completed all termination activities related to the original license agreement between the two companies and sponsorship has now been officially returned to Bioniche. "This is an important milestone for Urocidin™," said Mr. Graeme McRae, President & CEO of Bioniche Life Sciences Inc. "With sponsorship back in our hands, we will endeavor to schedule meetings with North American regulatory agencies. With Health Canada, we will discuss the potential for approval of a regulatory submission under its Notice of Compliance with Conditions policy. With the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), we will propose a revised clinical development plan to achieve U.S. registration." "The urology community recognizes the urgent need for complementary and/or alternative treatments for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer that fails to respond to BCG," said Dr. Alvaro Morales, Professor Emeritus, Department of Urology, Queen's University ( Kingston, Ontario). "A number of research teams around the world are actively studying a variety of agents, some of which are showing significant promise. Currently, Urocidin™ is the only one that has completed a Phase III trial." Dr. Morales was the Principal Investigator in the Phase I and II clinical trials, as well as the Phase III clinical trial with Urocidin™. If the Company is successful in obtaining access to the Canadian market under the Notice of Compliance with Conditions (NOC/c) policy, a new drug submission could be made to Health Canada before the end of 2013. Approximately one year of review would follow and, if Health Canada is satisfied with the submission, an approval under NOC/c could follow before the end of 2014.

Slept well in Seattle
... of the Valhalla, the cinema even has a monkey!
On Saturday I met up with some Searey chaps, Michael and Steve for breakfast, before I popped down to McMinnville, only a 150 miles or so each way, to visit the Evergreen Museum. It is home of the HK-1, the plane built by Howard Hughes, flown once, and nicknamed by the world, much ...

... down for hiding from us most of the week. I saw one small black bear and about 3 eagles in the distance. We were expecting to see a lot more. Maybe they were hiding because of the bad weather. Another middle finger to the weather for that.
Nederland to Seattle
... light rail system to take you to the boarding bays, and the automatic voice made us laugh - it sounded exactly like Kent Brockman, the news reader from the Simpsons.
Robyn had changed seating on the flight to the back row, because it meant we had a window seat and a spare seat next to us. But just moments before departure, a breathless woman plonked down beside us, explaining between gasps she had missed her flight home by two minutes and the airline ...
Downtown Seattle
... just outside the market, to deliberate our next move! After perusing a brochure found at the hotel, we decided to visit the aquarium. We must have gone up and down over 300 steps - we definitely felt the burn! The aquarium was good - a decent size with a fair bit to see - nothing outstanding and the seal and otter enclosures could have been bigger if I were to be picky, but none the less, a pleasant experience. Jake and I have been wanting ...

The 5 of us decided to walk more around the city to burn off dinner and dessert calories. It was a beautiful night and the city is very pretty at dusk. Tomorrow we will spend the morning in Seattle and then make the drive up to Vancouver where I don't think we'll have any celebrations for the 4th of July! Embarkation day is quickly ...

Would you like to read this article in %%?
Psalms 77:1-20
To the director; on Je·duʹthun.* Of Aʹsaph.+ A melody. 77 With my voice I will cry out to God; To God I will cry out, and he will hear me.+ 2 In the day of my distress I search for Jehovah.+ At night my hands are stretched out to him without ceasing.* I* cannot be comforted. 3 When I remember God, I groan;+ I am troubled and my strength fails.*+ (Selah) 4 You hold my eyelids open; I am agitated and cannot speak. 5 My thoughts turn to the days of long ago,+ The years of the distant past. 6 During the night I remember my song;*+ I ponder in my heart;+ I make* a diligent search. 7 Will Jehovah cast us off forever?+ Will he never again show his favor?+ 8 Has his loyal love ceased forever? Will his promise come to nothing for all generations? 9 Has God forgotten to show his favor,+ Or has his anger caused his mercy to cease? (Selah) 10 Must I keep saying: "This is what distresses me:*+ The Most High has changed his position* toward us"? 11 I will remember the works of Jah; I will remember your marvelous deeds of long ago. 12 And I will meditate on all your activity And ponder over your dealings.+ 13 O God, your ways are holy. What god is as great as you, O God?+ 14 You are the true God, who does marvelous things.+ You have revealed your strength to the peoples.+ 15 With your power* you have rescued* your people,+ The sons of Jacob and of Joseph. (Selah) 16 The waters saw you, O God; The waters saw you and were disturbed.+ And the deep waters became agitated. 17 The clouds poured down water. The cloudy skies thundered, And your arrows flew here and there.+ 18 The sound of your thunder+ was like chariot wheels; Flashes of lightning lit up the inhabited earth;*+ The earth trembled and quaked.+ 19 Your way was through the sea,+ Your path through many waters; But your footprints could not be traced. 20 You led your people just like a flock,+ In the care* of Moses and Aaron.+

I never thought. . .
"This is retarded. . ." trailing off in the gray minivan, that was luckily still running. I looked out the window to a green sign near by, "Welcome to Vermont." I rolled my eyes. I was usually with my friends and having fun. But I wouldn't see any of them for 3 weeks. Three long weeks, I thought.
When we left about 10 years ago and only visiting 3 years ago, I thought that I wouldn't care about vermont. I was right. I wanted to prove myself wrong, as much as I could. Maybe it is because I haven't been here in so long, possibly.
When we pulled up to the big yellow farm house, I could see the reaction on my Grammy's face who fled with surprise. That made me giggle. She seems overjoyed. "Well I haven't seen you since you were ten!" my grammy's rusty voice piped out.
"I missed you, gramma'" I smiling.
"I'v heard that you were getting really interested in horses?" Putting her skinny hands on her hips.
" You heard right," replying looking out onto a small tomatoe garden.
"You'll like it a lot here. We have three horses, go and explore," She says tapping my but lightly.
"Okay?" I ask timid.
I quickly scoot myself aorund the corner before she taps my but again. My feet rustle under the pebbles and dirt beneath me. I quickly turn my head in reaction to a clucking sound from the red barn north of me. I begin a fast pace walk and casually slow down when I get near the entrance. Standing before me, is a boy. Probably around the same age as I am. 14? I thought. The soft face looks up at me slowly.
"Bee?!" He bellows. Patting the horse's back and walking towards me.
"Bee?" I ask wondering.
"I used to call you that, because you always got so nervice around bees, and abbie, bee. I guess there are two meanings," He says smirking.
"Oh, I remeber that. But I'm sadly to say, I dont remember you." I look down blushing, his smile was annoying me in a good way.
"Matt, from third grade, we used to help your grammy make apple pie together." He says running his fingers through is dirty blonde hair. I smiled, He looks amazingly different. . . in a good way of course.

Analysis of Netezza and its data warehouse appliances. Related subjects include:
Juggling analytic databases
I'd like to survey a few related ideas:
- Enterprises should each have a variety of different analytic data stores.
- Vendors — especially but not only IBM and Teradata — are acknowledging and marketing around the point that enterprises should each have a number of different analytic data stores.
- In addition to having multiple analytic data management technology stacks, it is also desirable to have an agile way to spin out multiple virtual or physical relational data marts using a single RDBMS. Vendors are addressing that need.
- Some observers think that the real essence of analytic data management will be in data integration, not the actual data management.
Here goes. Read more

Hope for a new PostgreSQL era?
In a comedy of briefing errors, I'm not too clear on the details of my client salesforce.com's new PostgreSQL-as-a-service offering, nor exactly on what my clients at VMware are bringing to the PostgreSQL virtualization/cloud party. That said:
- PostgreSQL is good technology.
- MySQL is narrowing the gap, but PostgreSQL is still ahead of MySQL in some ways. (Database extensibility if nothing else.)
- PostgreSQL has a lot of users. (Many of them in academia and/or Russia.)
- Neither EnterpriseDB (which now calls itself "The enterprise PostgreSQL company") nor the PostgreSQL community leadership have covered themselves with stewardship glory.
- A significant number of interesting DBMS products can be regarded as PostgreSQL forks (e.g. Greenplum, Aster Data nCluster, Netezza if you squint, and Vertica if you stand on your head*).
- PostgreSQL advancement is not dead. For example, Hadapt beta users are running actual PostgreSQL on many nodes each.
- There's no assurance that Oracle will be a benevolent MySQL steward forever. (Specifically, Oracle's "Play nicely with others" antitrust commitments expire in 2014.)
So I think it would be cool if one or the other big company put significant wood behind the PostgreSQL arrow.
*While Vertica was originally released using little or no PostgreSQL code — reports varied — it featured high degrees of PostgreSQL compatibility.

Some big-vendor execution questions, and why they matter
When I drafted a list of key analytics-sector issues in honor of look-ahead season, the first item was "execution of various big vendors' ambitious initiatives". By "execute" I mean mainly:
- "Deliver products that really meet customers' desires and needs."
- "Successfully convince them that you're doing so …"
- "… at an attractive overall cost."
Vendors mentioned here are Oracle, SAP, HP, and IBM. Anybody smaller got left out due to the length of this post. Among the bigger omissions were:
- salesforce.com (multiple subjects).
- The evolution of Hadoop.
Remote machine-generated data
I refer often to machine-generated data, which is commonly generated inexpensively and in log-like formats, and is often best aggregated in a big bit bucket before you try to do much analysis on it. The term has caught on, to the point that perhaps it's time to distinguish more carefully among different kinds of machine-generated data. In particular, I think it may be useful to distinguish between:
- Log-stream machine-generated data, when what you're looking at — at least initially — is the entire output of verbose logging systems.
- Remote machine-generated data.
Here's what I'm thinking of for the second category. I rather frequently hear of cases in which data is generated by large numbers of remote machines, which occasionally send messages home. For example: Read more

Eight kinds of analytic database (Part 2)
In Part 1 of this two-part series, I outlined four variants on the traditional enterprise data warehouse/data mart dichotomy, and suggested what kinds of DBMS products you might use for each. In Part 2 I'll cover four more kinds of analytic database — even newer, for the most part, with a use case/product short list match that is even less clear. Read more
Eight kinds of analytic database (Part 1)
Analytic data management technology has blossomed, leading to many questions along the lines of "So which products should I use for which category of problem?" The old EDW/data mart dichotomy is hopelessly outdated for that purpose, and adding a third category for "big data" is little help.
Let's try eight categories instead. While no categorization is ever perfect, these each have at least some degree of technical homogeneity. Figuring out which types of analytic database you have or need — and in most cases you'll need several — is a great early step in your analytic technology planning. Read more
It's official — the grand central EDW will never happen
I pointed out last year that the grand central enterprise data warehouse couldn't happen; the post started:
An enterprise data warehouse should:
- Manage data to high standards of accuracy, consistency, cleanliness, clarity, and security.
- Manage all the data in your organization.
Pick ONE.
IBM's main theme at the Enzee Universe conference has been to say the same thing.
Merv Adrian's talk at the same conference made it clear that Gartner feels the same way, as does he personally. Indeed, like me, he's racked up multiple decades of industry experience without ever finding a single theoretically ideal grand central EDW.
Forrester Research has been a little less clear on the point, but generally seems to be on the correct side of the issue as well.
If somebody is still saying that one central enterprise data warehouse can hold all the information or data you need on which to base your business decisions, they're probably not somebody you should be listening to very hard.
Is that clear, or should I hammer home the point even harder?

Investigative analytics and derived data: Enzee Universe 2011 talk
I'll be speaking Monday, June 20 at IBM Netezza's Enzee Universe conference. Thus, as is my custom:
- I'm posting draft slides.
- I'm encouraging comment (especially in the short time window before I have to actually give the talk).
- I'm offering links below to more detail on various subjects covered in the talk.
The talk concept started out as "advanced analytics" (as opposed to fast query, a subject amply covered in the rest of any Netezza event), as a lunch break in what is otherwise a detailed "best practices" session. So I suggested we constrain the subject by focusing on a specific application area — customer acquisition and retention, something of importance to almost any enterprise, and which exploits most areas of analytic technology. Then I actually prepared the slides — and guess what? The mix of subjects will be skewed somewhat more toward generalities than I first intended, specifically in the areas of investigative analytics and derived data. And, as always when I speak, I'll try to raise consciousness about the issues of liberty and privacy, our options as a society for addressing them, and the crucial role we play as an industry in helping policymakers deal with these technologically-intense subjects.
Slide 3 refers back to a post I made last December, saying there are six useful things you can do with analytic technology:
- Operational BI/Analytically-infused operational apps: You can make an immediate decision.
- Planning and budgeting: You can plan in support of future decisions.
- Investigative analytics (multiple disciplines): You can research, investigate, and analyze in support of future decisions.
- Business intelligence: You can monitor what's going on, to see when it necessary to decide, plan, or investigate.
- More BI: You can communicate, to help other people and organizations do these same things.
- DBMS, ETL, and other "platform" technologies: You can provide support, in technology or data gathering, for one of the other functions.
Slide 4 observes that investigative analytics:
- Is the most rapidly advancing of the six areas …
- … because it most directly exploits performance & scalability.
Slide 5 gives my simplest overview of investigative analytics technology to date: Read more

Alternatives for Hadoop/MapReduce data storage and management
There's been a flurry of announcements recently in the Hadoop world. Much of it has been concentrated on Hadoop data storage and management. This is understandable, since HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) is quite a young (i.e. immature) system, with much strengthening and Bottleneck Whack-A-Mole remaining in its future.
Known HDFS and Hadoop data storage and management issues include but are not limited to:
- Hadoop is run by a master node, and specifically a namenode, that's a single point of failure.
- HDFS compression could be better.
- HDFS likes to store three copies of everything, whereas many DBMS and file systems are satisfied with two.
- Hive (the canonical way to do SQL joins and so on in Hadoop) is slow.
Different entities have different ideas about how such deficiencies should be addressed. Read more

In-memory, parallel, not-in-database SAS HPA does make sense after all
I talked with SAS about its new approach to parallel modeling. The two key points are:
- SAS no longer plans to go as far with in-database modeling as it previously intended.
- Rather, SAS plans to run in RAM on MPP DBMS appliances, exploiting MPI (Message Passing Interface).
The whole thing is called SAS HPA (High-Performance Analytics), in an obvious reference to HPC (High-Performance Computing). It will run initially on RAM-heavy appliances from Teradata and EMC Greenplum.
A lot of what's going on here is that SAS found it annoyingly difficult to parallelize modeling within the framework of a massively parallel DBMS such as Teradata. Notes on that aspect include:
- SAS wasn't exploiting the capabilities of individual DBMS to their fullest; rather, it was looking for an approach that would work across multiple brands of DBMS. Thus, for example, the fact that Aster's analytic platform architecture is more flexible or powerful than Teradata's didn't help much with making SAS run within the Aster nCluster database.
- Notwithstanding everything else, SAS did make a certain set of modeling procedures run in-database.
- SAS' previous plans to run in-database modeling in Aster and/or Netezza DBMS may never come to fruition.
