Jessica Alba: Family Day at Target
Having a nice little Saturday with her family, Jessica Alba went out to breakfast and stopped at Target (February 22).
The Honest Company founder looked cute in a white top, gray cardigan, dark scarf, and blue skinnies as she held hands with hubby Cash Warren and their girls, Honor and Haven.
Earlier this week, the 32-year-old actress took on a very important role as she became godmother to Jaime King's son.
Honoring baby James Knight on Thursday, Jessica joined godfather Topher Grace and Jamie and husband Kyle Newman for an adorable snapshot.

Help appreciated.
unzip the file first, the theme files(and theme install zip) are actually located inside
I've opened the zip file with Stuffit Expander and still don't see the unpackaged zip file?

Although fraught with jitters on day one of the Casio World Open, sixteen-year-old Michelle Wie was determined to qualify this week. This is her sixth men's tournament and the young girl had some pretty big shoes to fill since 1945 when Babe Didrikson Zaharias last qualified for an event on the PGA Tour. Annika Sorenstam and Club Pro Suzy Whaley entered the men's arena in 2003 at the Colonial but also failed to make waves. Wie is also the second female to play on the Japan Men's Tour since Sophie Gustafson missed the cut in this same event in 2003.
With huge crowds following Wie from tee to green and practically no one even taking notice of last year's champion, David Smail, it was enough to make even the greatest golfers in the world a bit shaky.
"I felt a little nervous off the tee," said the young Hawaiian. "But being nervous like that can be a good thing."
Teeing off at the tenth hole of the Kochi Kuroshio Country Club, Michelle failed to birdie a hole until the par-4 sixth hole where a sand wedge shot landed just four feet from the pin. That gave her enough confidence to birdie the par-5 seventh hole after her drive landed in the rough. Ending her first round with a 1-over-par 73, Wie felt ready for her next day of competition. She only trailed her competition by five strokes.
Day two must have reminded Michelle of her m/c at the John Deere Classic. Just as in the final holes of the Classic where she bogeyed two out of the remaining four holes to miss the cut by two strokes, Michelle fell apart making bogeys on the 17th and 18th holes of the Casio and missed the cut by a single stroke. A par on the 18th would have given Wie a chance to play alongside of the men on the weekend but instead Michelle is sitting on the sidelines again licking her wounds.
"Obviously I'm very disappointed," said a disgruntled Wie. "I played as well as I could. I tried my best today, but things just didn't work out and it wasn't meant to be." She folded under the pressure once again.
Michelle finished her second round with a 3-over 75, shooting three birdies and six bogeys and tying with eleven players for 68th position on the leaderboard. The top sixty players go on to the weekend.
It often comes right down to the 18th hole in many scenarios on Sunday as it did in Michelle's round. Partly blamed on the twenty-minute wait at the 18th tee, Michelle's drive went into the right rough. Although she hit it back into the fairway, her next shot was short and Wie had to chip on and putt in. Her putt missed and with that, so went her chance again of playing in a men's tournament.
"I was a bit nervous walking up the 18th fairway," said Wie. "I was just trying to play a good hole and make par, but it didn't work out that way."
So Michelle didn't make this cut. That doesn't mean she's going to give up her quest to play in PGA-sanctioned tournaments or in any men's event that will have her. Let's be honest. Her prescence brings in the big bucks and fans come out to see her so I'll bet she'll keep getting lots of invites and exemptions. She's not only good for women's golf but she will also do much for some men's tournaments that could use a popularity boost.
"Not making the cut here has not made me want to play in men's events," Wie said. "Hopefully, I can learn from the mistakes I made here and come back here." I'm sure the Japan Men's Tour will welcome you back with open arms. The only other time I knew that there was a men's tour in Japan was several weeks ago when Tiger Woods struggled at the Dunlop and won after four playoff holes.
There's plenty of time to practice before Michelle again plays on the PGA Tour. She's expected to compete at the Sony Open in January in her homeland so chances are she'll be under alot of pressure. But hopefully Michelle Wie will finally learn from her mistakes and make the cut.
"I really realized here that I need to work on a few things before the Sony Open," she said. "I've got to work on my irons and my putting."

Dream On
We Denverites tend to get stuck in our ways, especially with regard to our holiday entertainment. At this point, we've come to expect that the Denver Center Theatre Company will be serving up A Christmas Carol. This year, though, the DCTC is changing its tune for something more upbeat and yet still old-fashioned in a completely different way. Instead of Dickens, White Christmas will be the Christmas gift delivered on the big stage of the Buell Theatre.
The Broadway musical based on the '50s-era Bing Crosby song-and-dance flick returns today in what director Kent Thompson thinks is an improved version of what was already a big hit here in 2007. Along with its smile-inducing retro vibe, the show will look brighter and shinier, with an influx of new costumes, renovated sets, a 22-piece live orchestra and a veteran cast that can do just about anything. But even without the improvements, White Christmas represents the kind of theater experience we don't often get to have in the 21st century: "It's a major book musical from the 1950s," Thompson explains. "These days, not many of us get to see many tap numbers as exciting as 'I Love a Piano' or the Ed Sullivan number, 'Happy Holiday.'"
Start dreaming of that white Christmas, and prepare to bring the family (but no members under five). White Christmas opens tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Buell, in the Denver Performing Arts Complex, and continues through Christmas Eve. Tickets start at $25; visit the Denver Center box office online at www.denvercenter.orgfor showtimes and reservations, or call 303-893-4100.

FOREX-Dollar gains against euro on Deutsche Bank fears, falls vs Mexican peso
* Dollar gains vs euro after Deutsche Bank shares hit record low
* Short-covering after U.S. debate boosts peso
* Relief after debate supports dollar (Updates prices, adds comments; changes byline, dateline, pvs LONDON)
By Sam Forgione
NEW YORK, Sept 27 (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar rose against the euro on Tuesday after concerns surrounding Deutsche Bank caused general unease over Europe's banking sector, while the Mexican peso rallied on short-covering after first U.S. presidential debate.
Deutsche Bank shares hit a record low on Tuesday before turning mostly flat a day after Germany's biggest lender said it had no need for German government help with a $14 billion U.S. demand to settle claims it missold mortgage-backed securities.
The euro was last down 0.51 percent at $1.1196, easing from an 11-day high of $1.1278 touched on Monday.
"Some of the concerns over the European banking system have caught fire or have come into focus more recently," said Mazen Issa, senior FX strategist at TD Securities in New York.
The perception among market participants that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's performance in the first U.S. presidential debate was superior to that of Republican candidate Donald Trump boosted the peso. Continued...

Hello. My name is David Hayward, and I'm an addict.
An ex drug addict once told me that he didn't miss the drugs (the crime, anxiety, cost, hiding, hardware, etc.). He missed was what the drugs gave (the euphoria, peace, no need for meaning, highs, etc.). He didn't miss the cause. He missed the effects.
There are many things I don't miss about the professional ministry or the institutional church… the headaches, the praise/rejection cycle, the divisions, the arguments, the fishbowl, the constant criticism and questioning, the crap, the codependencies, etc.). But I miss its effects. I miss what it provided. Even though the fact of the ministry had become a horrible reality for me, I enjoyed the sense of destiny it gave me. I had a reason to get up in the morning. I had a purpose. I had a future. My trajectory was completely laid out before me, and all I had to do was walk it with confidence. And it was completely fueled by the prophetic words, the promises, and the praise of some who believed in what I was doing.
Now that's all gone. I gave it up. I gave up the drug. I don't want the drug back, but I miss the effects. Which makes me wonder sometimes why I gave up the drug. But I can't go back. Because even though it certainly felt real and provided very real beneficial effects, I know now that it wasn't real. It was an addictive lifestyle.
Life is way more boring. But it is way more real.

Power shift: Models such as the e-Golf will fall under the newly formed BEV organisational group under changes announced by Volkswagen.
25 January 2016
By STUART MARTIN
THE Volkswagen Group diesel emissions scandal continues to have an impact, with
the German automotive giant announces changes to its internal personnel
In a statement released late last week, the company said it has "repositioned
its organisation for vehicle development" to make clear the chain of
responsibility for each project, changes which it also believes will increase
the speed of vehicle development.
Volkswagen chairman of the board of management Herbert Diess said the company
had to ensure that the corporate responsibility for each vehicle project is
"clearly assigned".
"We expect these changes to yield an acceleration boost in development. This
step represents a core element of 'New Volkswagen', the new strategic direction
of our brand," he said.
Volkswagen Group said the new process will improve collaboration but also puts
the responsibility for each model with one person rather than several in
different divisions of the company.
"From the concept to the end of the life-cycle for any given model, the
responsibility for technology, quality, cost and deadline compliance, and the
responsibility for cost-effectiveness, now clearly lie in one hand for the
first time," the company said in a statement.
The small vehicles group, which includes the Up and the Polo as well small
sedans and SUVs, will be overseen by Klaus-Gerhard Wolpert in charge, the
former head of product management for the Volkswagen brand and the Group since
The compact vehicle group – also known as the Golf-class group according to VW
– covers the hatchback, notchback sedans, wagons and SUVs and will be run by
former group electrics and electronics purchasing manager Karlheinz Hell.
The mid- and full-size group includes the Passat, the Sharan people-mover and
the larger SUVs – including the Touareg and a future mid-size SUV based on the
CrossBlue concept that is currently only planned for left-hand-drive production.
This model group will be under the supervision of Dr Elmar-Marius Licharz, in
charge of product controlling for the Volkswagen brand since 2010.
VW has also created a BEV (Battery Electric Vehicles) group which includes the
e-Up and e-Golf, as well as future electric vehicles in the mould of the Budd-e
concept car that made its debut at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas
earlier this month.
The BEV group is run by former BMW 'project i' executive and most recently
Continental AG's senior vice-president Automotive Systems and Technology,
Christian Senger.
Volkswagen said the aforementioned groups will all be backed by a new Strategy
and Products Division, which will have responsibility for product life-cycles
and co-ordination of major product events among its tasks.
Dr Diess said the new structure was a core element for the change in culture at
"This allows us to provide clear structures and responsibilities, which carve
out more time for the workforce to focus on their core tasks," he said.
"The new series organisation allows a robust product portfolio to be created
that is fit for the future, because it strengthens cooperation across all
functions hence increasing the profitability of the brand."
The restructuring has little immediate impact on Volkswagen Group Australia's
operation, with the company's general manager of communications Karl Gehling
telling GoAuto that it will be a while before we see any more detail about the
"We haven't got a lot more detail on the changes as yet," he said. "I don't
think it will change the way we work here, it might change some of the
reporting lines here but we operate in brands here as it is, that won't

Neuticles: So you think you really need those "balls"?
Yes, it's true. Should you lament the loss of the look of "manliness" in your oh-so-macho dog, you too can elect to have your dog's testicles replaced with silicone-based implants when he's neutered.
Akin to the breast implants some of you may be intimately familiar with, there's no need to lose out on appearances when it comes to the sterilization of a male dog. A product called Neuticles is there to make sure you have a choice in the matter. Here's what they look like:
OK, so I agree with you. It's a silly notion, this need for testicular implants. I get it if Lance Armstrong wants one to round out his pair after losing one to cancer. I even get it when women choose to augment their breast size a cup or two. But for your dog? Seriously?
Here's where I'll confess to having implanted a few pairs of these myself. When owners have done the research and arrived with the dreaded question, I've had to relent: "If it's the only way you'll concede to having him neutered...I'll do it."
In fact, I've even offered the Neuticle option to clients who have formerly been intractable on the subject of neutering: "Consider that he doesn't have to look like he's lost them."
It may seem somehow wrong, if not downright unethical, to offer an option that––let's face it––is 100% cosmetic. There is ZERO health benefit to Neuticles. Though the rate of complications is impressively low (less than 1 percent) and these complications are fully reversible, surgery to implant Neuticles (done at the same timeas neutering) is wholly unnecessary.
I don't dispute it. But when an owner repeatedly refuses to neuter a dog that desperately needs to be neutered (think: the presence of testicular masses, recurrent prostatic disease, etc.), what would YOU do?

Advancement in science and technology has blessed human beings with unique inventions that have made their lives much easier. I am not talking about the heavy machineries like submarines, space satellites etc,what I am talking about is daily use small machines which have actually changed the life of a common man. If we look around our surroundings, we will realize we are living in a world of machines. Machines like vacuum cleaner, hair drier, washing machine, microwave and air compressor etc. These are the actual things that a normal person can afford to improve his living.
To get access to these things, he needs to invest his money at the right place as he deserves to get what he pays for. For instance, a person who wants to buy an air compressor does not go outside and randomly buys the product. If he does so, there are great chances that he will waste his money and time, until and unless he has proper knowledge of the product and its marketing trends, it is not wise for him to buy his desired product.
This platform is particularly designed for people who do not have any knowledge regarding air compressors and want to get a complete insight of the air compressors before buying it. This platform aims at providing customers with genuine air compressor reviews based on true facts.
Brief Overview of Air Compressor:
A compressor is a simple machine, similar to pump, designed and manufactured forutilization in various applications. Air compressor is a type of compressors that is widely used.
Air Compressors:
Air compressors convert the power obtained from electric energy or diesel source into kinetic energy by compressing the air. This compressed air is then utilized for performing different heavy tool operations, as well as small scale home renovation tasks.
Basic Parts of Air Compressors:
Following are the basic parts of an air compressor which directly affect the performance of compressor:
- Electric motor or Diesel engine
- Air tank
- Compression chamber
- Compressed air outlet
It is necessary that each and every part of the compressor is made of quality material for achieving worthy product.
There are different types of air compressors; some are oil based while others are oil free. Moreover, they differ variably in size, shape, performing ability and quality. Here is the list of top 5 air compressors with their brief product reviews.
While browsing the internet you will find various eye catching air compressor reviews highlighting the features of compressor. However, well written product review does not mean it is based on true facts. One can write practical and genuine air compressor reviews, as we do, only and only when he has used the product himself and know the technical details of the product. You can completely rely on our reviews as our reviews are written by committee of experts who are experienced in such high tech devices and know the technical details of all products.
Top 5 Compressors With Features You Are Looking For:
There are different types of compressors, each with its own set of unique features. When it comes to best compressors, I will rank following compressors as top 5. I used the expression "BEST COMPRESSOR" intentionally as I know that these compressors have all the quality characteristics that customers want. Here is the list of compressors I am talking about:

Things to Consider While Buying Air Compressors:
Now as you have learned about the basics of air compressor, it is time to tell you what things you should look for when it comes to buying of air compressor. You should consider following things:
The working power of an air compressor is measured in terms of CFM. CFM stands for cubic feet per minute it represents the volume of air that a compressor can compress in one minute. High CFM means the compressor is capable of producing high output in less time. So, always check out the CFM of compressor before buying compressor.
Tank Size:
Secondly, you should consider the tank size of compressor before buying it. Larger the tank size of compressor larger will be its ability to produce increased CFM. Moreover, the location of tank also matters as improperly located tank size can create a problem during machine handling.
Power Source:
Power source of the compressor is another important feature that you should look for. There are majorly two power sources used in compressor one is gasoline or diesel power source and other one is electric power sources. It is observed that gasoline sources provide more power than electricity operated sources. But the expenses in case of gasoline power source are more than electric source. Now it is up to you that which power source you prefer?
Look For Maintenance Issues:
Oil free air compressors need less maintenance as they are comprised of sealed ball bearing. But in case of oil based compressors you need more maintenance as you have to change the oil regularly. So, before selecting any particular type of compressor keep in account the maintenance tasks related to it.
Size and Shape:
Size and shape of compressor is also a matter of concern while buying compressor. Usually horizontally shaped compressors are more convenient as they can easily be placed on shelves etc, as far as storage is concerned vertical compressors are easy to store.
Weight and Portability:
You should take in account weight of the compressor before buying it. If you want a portable compressor then go for light weight compressors as they are easy to transfer from one place to another. Compressors designed for heavy machinery tasks have more weight. Therefore, select the portable air compressor according to your use.

how long will my 6 month old cat be in heat it has been 4 weeks and 3 days off and on? We live in an outpost area.

If your kitty is not mated and does not get pregnant, she can go into heat repeatedly every 2-3 weeks. This means that if your cat is in heat, you can't just keep her locked away and wait for her heat to be over because it will keep going. Unless you have her spayed, she will keep going into heat almost every month. Cats can have more than one period in each breeding season, which is now. Each heat lasts between 5 days and 2 weeks. If she is mated, her period will stop within a day but that's not a real good solution unless lots of good people want to adopt kittens where you live. The cat's "season" in the North is during the end of winter and early Spring. I don't think a cat can be spayed while she's in heat, so your timing is going to have to be pretty good.

You actually can spay and neuter when the cat is in heat. Most vets will do it if there are reasons, such as a person who lives in a rural area; TNR type programs, etc. there is often a cost increase for cats who are in heat, this is due to the amount of blood in teh uterus which goes up, making a slighly more "difficult" procedure.
good luck, i couldn't imagine being around a cat in heat for that long!

I get nervous answering this sort of question but your kitty can be brought out of heat. If wish to know how, please email me at isomorphix "at" shaw.ca
It's something that my vet showed me to do for Morgana when she came into heat unexpectedly. While a cat can be spayed while in heat, it increases the risks & costs. And from your question, I take it you won't be able to get to a vet UNTIL spring. So what I explain by email will help till then.
If you're nervous & choose not to email me, I'll understand.

Simi council agrees to form tourism district and draft opening prayer policy
The Simi Valley City Council this week approved a proposal from area businesses to form a Tourism Marketing District and agreed to form an ad hoc committee to draft a policy for starting council meetings with prayer.
Both issues brought out many supporters.
For more than an hour Tuesday night, representatives of hotels, business owners and members of the Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce urged the council to approve the Tourism Marketing District that would be financed by a 2 percent assessment on nightly hotel room rates.
The assessment funds would be administered by the Simi Valley Tourism Alliance, acting under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce. The money would be used to pay for promotion and marketing strategies aimed at bringing more visitors to Simi Valley. The assessment is expected to generate about $230,000 a year.
The CEOs of both the Greater Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Ojai Chamber of Commerce attended the meeting to add their weight to the discussion, noting how forming similar districts in their communities boosted their respective economies.
Four of the five lodging businesses in Simi Valley will be part of the alliance: Grand Vista; Holiday Inn Express; Courtyard Marriott; and Best Western.
"By accepting this, it's a step towards creating a better future for all of us in Simi Valley," said Michele Bennett, vice president of the Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce.
The City Council voted 4-1 to approve the Tourism Marketing District, with Councilman Keith Mashburn casting the dissenting vote.
"I find it hard to believe these hotels can't get together and do this under the guidance of the chamber," said Mashburn.
Councilman Mike Judge added that he didn't understand why the hotels and chamber couldn't do it without involving local government, but he ultimately voted for it.
Councilman Steve Sojka said he believes the district will help the whole community.
"Economic development creates jobs," he said. "This is a mechanism that will help businesses create jobs."
Councilman Glen Becerra agreed.
"When business goes to government and says help me, it's different from the government telling businesses what's good for them," he said.
During public comments, several speakers asked the council to adopt the practice of having an opening prayer.
It follows a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on May 5 that the town of Greece, New York, did not violate the Constitution by opening its meetings with an invocation or prayer.
Acting City Attorney Sonia Hehir presented some recommendations and clarifications on the constitutionality of having an opening prayer. The Supreme Court ruling relates to federal law, she said, and explained that the California Constitution includes a "no preference" policy in its establishment clause.
"This area of the law has yet to be tested," she said.
Responding to a question from Mashburn about whether the city would have to allow anyone of any religion or belief to give the prayer, she said: "When you open the door to one, you open it to all."
"My problem would be having a prayer by Satanists, by Wiccans, stuff like that," said Judge. "We have to be careful with that."
The council consensus favored a nondenominational prayer that didn't name any specific deity. Mayor Bob Huber and Mashburn were appointed to work with Hehir to draft a framework for introducing a regular prayer at City Council meetings and bring it back for a vote.

More Iraqis travel abroad despite airport chaos
By Mohammed Abbas
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Many find air travel stressful, but in Iraq, finding a way around armed and nervous-looking U.S. troops blocking the airport road is only one of many headaches.
Until it was taken down last week, Baghdad International Airport's defunct information board displayed non-existent flights to unlikely destinations including Mexico City, Moscow, Warsaw and Helsinki -- mostly put there by airport staff with a sense of humour.
From booking tickets to catching your plane, flying out of Baghdad is usually a nightmare. But as violence has fallen in Iraq, more airlines are opening routes to the country and more Iraqis are clamoring for trips abroad, travel agents say.
"Last year we weren't even open because the security was bad. Now it's good, and I can employ six people," said Al-Hijaz travel's Mehdi Daoud, who with other travel agents estimated ticket sales had risen 15 to 35 percent in the last six months.
Last month Turkish Airlines started direct flights between Baghdad and Istanbul, adding to existing flights from Baghdad to Beirut, Cairo, Damascus, Amman, Tehran and Dubai.
Travel agent Hussein Basim said demand from Iraqis for foreign travel had remained constant, but more airlines were adding flights, boosting sales. "We're always busy. We've had great demand but there have not been planes," he said.
But buying a ticket is not easy. There are no online sales, and bookings and availability enquiries are haphazard and rely on the use of paper ledgers. Return dates for some trips are a gamble, as the return leg can only be arranged abroad.
"It's not easy to book a ticket. It's taken me four days. There's no system at all -- it's awful. I have so many questions," said Khalil Waleed, hoping to travel to Belarus. Continued...

Big data is a concept that's been as widely hyped as cloud computing, and perhaps just as misunderstood in regards to its capabilities and limitations. One of the aspects of big data that is not clearly understood is how existing databases can be used with data storage engines that are non-relational in nature. What's involved in moving data from a relational database management system (RDBMS) to distributed systems? And, perhaps more of interest to IT staff, what's the best way to learn about these big data systems, to determine the best way to use them in an organization?
[ Interview: Hadoop creator Doug Cutting expects surge in interest to continue | Hadoop vs. an RDBMS: How much (less) would you pay? ]
Currently, the most popular example of a non-relational database management system (NDBMS) is probably Apache Hadoop, a distributed data framework that seems to be the poster child for big data and so-called NoSQL databases. But even those descriptions screen the true nature of Hadoop and how it works. What is Hadoop, really, and how can businesses and IT staffers start using it? Which businesses should use Hadoop and where can you find resources for implementing it?
These are some of the questions that will be answered in this three-part series, "The Road to Apache Hadoop." In part one, we'll examine how Hadoop is put together. Understanding how Hadoop generally works will give a more accurate picture of the skills DBAs and data analysts need to work with the Hadoop framework. And knowing the players in the Hadoop ecosystem will reveal some great sources for Hadoop training.
What Hadoop isn't
There are two elements that need to be cleared up about Hadoop right away: it's not a system that needs to be used exclusively with "big data," and it isn't really a NoSQL tool.
While it is true that Hadoop belongs to the non-relational class of data management systems, that doesn't preclude the use of the SQL query control language. NoSQL isn't even that; it's just a way to describe databases where SQL is not necessarily the only query system that can be used. In fact, SQL-like queries can be used fairly easily with Hadoop.
Then there's this notion of big data. Many people associate Hadoop with managing truly massive amounts of data. And with good reason: Hadoop storage is used by Facebook and Yahoo, which many people (rightly) associate with huge data sets. But Hadoop's use goes far beyond that of big data. One of Hadoop's strongest capabilities is its ability to scale, which puts it up in the big leagues with Yahoo and Facebook but also enables it to scale down to any company that needs inexpensive storage and data management.
To understand this broad capability of scale and the implications of scaling, it's important to understand how Hadoop works.
What Hadoop is
Arun Murthy is a man who knows Hadoop. As VP, Apache Hadoop at the Apache Software Foundation, he's the current leader of the project. Moreover, Murthy has been involved with Hadoop from its early days, when Yahoo adapted Google's open source data framework to their own purposes after it was invented by Doug Cutting to take advantage of Google's MapReduce data programming framework.
To say Yahoo is a big player in the Hadoop space is an understatement on many levels. Cutting, Murthy, and many early Hadoop contributors worked at Yahoo in the last decade. (Cutting now works with Cloudera, a commercial Hadoop vendor launched in 2009, and Murthy went on to co-found Hortonworks, Inc., in June of 2011 with several others on Yahoo's Hadoop team, including Eric Baldeschwieler, now Hortonworks' CEO.) Yahoo is also the largest user of Hadoop to date, having deployed a staggering 50,000-node Hadoop network.
With these credentials in mind, Murthy seemed the best person to ask about what Hadoop is and how it's put together.
As he explained it to me, the framework known as Hadoop can be composed of several components, but the big two are the aforementioned MapReduce data processing framework and a distributed filesystem for data storage, usually something like the Hadoop Distributed Filesystem (HDFS).
HDFS is, in many ways, the simplest Hadoop component to conceptualize (though not always the easiest to manage). It is pretty much what it's called: a distributed filesystem that shoves data onto any machine connected to the Hadoop network. Of course, there's a system to this, and it's not just all willy-nilly, but compared to the highly regimented storage infrastructure of a RDBMS, it's practically a pigsty.
Indeed, it's this flexibility that brings a lot of the value to the Hadoop proposition. While an RDBMS often needs finely tuned and dedicated machines, a Hadoop system can take advantage of commoditized servers with few good hard drives on board. Instead of dealing with the huge management overhead involved with storing data in relational database tables, Hadoop uses HDFS to store data across multiple machines and drives, automatically making data redundant on multiple-node Hadoop systems. If one node fails or slows down, the data is still accessible.

Wood Leads Georgia To 4-2 Win
April 6, 2012
FAYETTEVILLE, ARK.-----Georgia sophomore Alex Wood pitched a complete game with 11 strikeouts to lead Georgia to a 4-2 win over 13th-ranked Arkansas Friday.
A crowd of 7,552 watched a typical SEC Friday Night pitching duel as Wood notched his second career complete game to move to 4-1 on the year. Arkansas right-hander Ryne Stanek entered the contest leading the SEC in wins (six) and ERA (1.26) but got his first loss after allowing four runs on six hits in six innings pitched. The Razorbacks (22-7, 5-5 SEC) lost for just the second time in 20 home games this year.
Arkansas grabbed a 1-0 lead in the second. First baseman Dominic Ficociello led off with a double and went to third on a groundout by Sam Bates. Catcher Jake Wise put down a safety squeeze bunt down the first base line and wound up with an RBI-single as Ficociello scored for a 1-0 advantage.
Freshman designated hitter Nelson Ward drew a leadoff walk to start the contest, and then Stanek set down 11 in a row until two-out singles by freshman Hunter Cole and junior catcher Brett DeLoach in the fourth. For Cole, it extended his hitting streak to a team-best 13 games. He got out of the jam by striking out senior Colby May on three pitches to maintain a 1-0 edge.
Georgia (19-11, 5-5 SEC) tied the game in the fifth. Junior third baseman Curt Powell lined a double that centerfielder Jacob Morris misplayed, allowing Powell to advance to third. Stanek got ahead of senior Peter Verdin 0-2 and then uncorked a wild pitch as Powell raced home to make it 1-1.
The Razorbacks responded with a two-out rally in their half of the fifth to reclaim a 2-1 lead. Shortstop Tim Carver and designated hitter Jacob Mahan reached with a pair of singles. Then, Matt Reynolds lined a run-scoring single to left to plate Carver and Mahan tried to score but was thrown out on a strong relay from Cole to shortstop Kyle Farmer and on to DeLoach.
Bulldog senior Levi Hyams began the sixth with a ground-rule double. Farmer followed with a line-drive single that Hyams had to hold up to see drop before getting to third. Cole drew a five-pitch walk to load the bases for DeLoach. On a 1-0 pitch, Stanek tossed his second wild pitch of the night as Hyams scored to make it 2-all while Farmer and Cole moved in to scoring position. DeLoach grounded out to third and Farmer scored to give the Bulldogs a 3-2 edge. After Stanek struck out May, Conor Welton lined a two-out single that Carver kept from going in to the outfield. On his attempt to get Welton, Cole raced home for a 4-2 lead. Stanek retired Powell to end the top of the inning.
Stanek surrendered four runs on six hits with two walks and eight strikeouts in six innings of work. Arkansas turned to left-hander Cade Lynch to start the seventh.
"Alex was tremendous, and he got better as the game went along," said Georgia coach David Perno. "It's a team game, and as soon as we put three up, he went up to another level. He fed off of that. We need him to pitch like that, and we need to back it up with some offense, and we did that. It's a game, and we need to play at a high level but also remember to have fun."

App aims to make a social network more personal
By Natasha Baker
TORONTO (Reuters) - Interested in sharing more personal moments of life to a small group of friends rather than a large network? An app called Path could help.
Originally conceived as a way to post photos and videos for close family and friends to see, the app was re-released this month as a "smart journal" to enable users to share more about their lives.
"Because Path is a smaller network that's built for the people you love -- the closest friends and family in your life -- people are willing to share more intimate content as a result of that," said Matt Van Horn, a vice president at Path.
He added that although some of details of life might seem mundane when broadcast to the masses, they can take on a newlight when shared with closer connections.
"Taking a photo on the porch with your sister if you were to post to a larger network might not be that interesting. But if your mom, who is on the other side of the country, sees it then it's magical," he said.
The app also learns a user's habits, such as favorite places, and can recognize deviations in patterns and broadcast them to their 'path', the social stream visible to a user's connections.
Inspired by British anthropologist and Oxford professor Robin Dunbar, Path limits the number of social connections a user can have to 150 people. It is considered the upper limit of the number of trusted relationships a person can have, and is a direct function of our biology.
The average user on Path has five to ten connections. Continued...

Amidst all of the cost rebalancing for Champion-level rewards in the Argent Tournament, the CMs have indicated that there would soon be new ways to obtain Champion's Seals. With the advent of patch 3.1.2, it seems Blizzard has started to follow through on that!
We received a bunch of tips in the mail over the past day or so, all letting us know that their Champion's Purses -- one of the reward choices for Champion dailies -- could randomly contain a whole 'nother Champion's Seal. This is a pretty big deal, especially since you have multiple chances per day. Players are reporting the percentage to be somewhere between 25% to 50% per Purse.
Not too shabby! This also means that those mounts you want -- including the recently-reduced Argent Hippogyph -- might be a little more within your reach, and faster at that.
We'll keep you informed of changes sure to be forthcoming, given that the CMs also mentioned that the Hippogryph cost reduction was (in part) due to their desire to add even more rewards in future patches.

For Mixtapes, we ask today's leading musicians, authors, filmmakers and artists to assemble an hour of new-music that they find particularly compelling or that exemplifies the shifting boundaries of today's musical climate. Today's mixtape comes courtesy of Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir, whose debut record Rhízōma was released late last year on Innova.
"I have chosen to select a varied list of music that has been on my playlist recently. Two of the pieces I have been revisiting, Kurtág's Stele and Leifs' Requiem, but the other pieces have come to my attention over the past year or so. This is music that I find particularly intriguing and inspirational." -Anna Thorvaldsdottir

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
We move along in our training camp previews to an always revolving position in Foxboro, the tight ends. From Ben Coates to Daniel Graham to Ben Watson, the Patriots have always had many options at the TE position, even if they've never had a superstar like Tony Gonzalez or Antonio Gates. This year's crop looks deeper than in the recent past and will provide the Patriots with a lot of options through receiving and blocking packages.
2008 stats: 22 rec, 209 yards, 2 TD
2009 Forecast: Benjamin Watson will always be know for, and measured up to, "the chase." Of course we're talking about the 2005 AFC Divisional playoff game in Denver where Ben Watson ran 100+ yards and caught up to Champ Bailey, knocking the ball out of his hands for what should have been a touch back, but instead was a "mile high" touchdown. Fair or not, it's safe to say that play has lifted the expectations so high from Patriots fans that almost no player could have lived up to them. Watson certainly hasn't.
With Watson, it's not the physical skills or the speed, but the hands. It seems too often Watson would find room underneath only to drop pass after pass. His numbers aren't terrible over the past few years but he now, more than ever, he needs to be looking over his shoulder in the depth chart. Watson has turned into a decent blocking tight end but we'd all love to see him get open down the field more often. This season with a lot of offensive weapons, it will be interesting to see whether the Patriots use their tight ends for more running packages as blockers. I don't see any tight end, even one as skilled as Watson, having a significant effect on the passing game. With plenty of receivers and lots of receiving running backs, it could be another sub par year for Ben Watson.
2009 Projected stats: 25 rec, 200 yards, 2 TD
2008 stats: 21 rec, 194 yards, 0 TD
2009 Forecast: Baker comes over after seven years with the New York Jets organization and has a very similar career stat line to Ben Watson – 145 catches, 1,505 yards and 12 touchdowns. He faces an uphill battle with Watson simply because it's his first year in the system. As we all know Bill Belichick loves versatility and options and that's what Baker brings. He is also a good blocking tight end and will provide cover and competition in camp. Baker may not have all that many catches in 2009 but will give the Patriots just another option in a loaded offense.
2009 Projected stats: 15 rec, 90 yards, 1 TD
2008 stats: 9 rec, 93 yards, 0 TD
2009 Forecast: David Thomas came onto the scene with a bang in his rookie season but since has suffered due to injury. While not used primarily as a blocking tight end, Thomas is almost like another wide receiver as he is taller and lanky than your conventional tight end. I always thought he would fit in great as an alternative to Ben Watson but as of yet just hasn't gotten a foot hold in the system. With the addition of Baker, the tight end spot will become more muddied and it will be up to Thomas to have a good training camp/pre-season to show he belongs on the team. I just don't see him getting many touches in this offense.
2009 Projected stats: 5 rec, 40 yards, 0 TD
The Patriots certainly have quality options at tight end. Besides the three mentioned above there is second year pro Tyson DeVree and newly acquired Alex Smith, who caught 11 TDs in four seasons with Tampa Bay. Waston has the clear path to the starting job but with the complex schemes the Patriots will be running, you may see a lot of mixing and matching to find the right combination of players. I don't see more than a few hundred yards of receiving out of the whole bunch but they will provide beneficial run blocking throughout the season. Who knows, maybe we'll see another Ben Watson miracle chase in 2009.
Tags: Alex Smith, Benjamin Watson, Chris Baker, David Thomas, Tyson DeVree
It's amazing to think that of all the tight ends in the Belichick era, none have even come close to sniffing Ben Coates.
Which is too bad, because Ben Coates smells GREAT.

Simulators can produce all sorts of numbers, but the numbers themselves aren't terribly meaningful until they are put into context by visualization techniques. For example, the coordinates of the various atoms in a molecule don't readily convey the shape of the molecule, but once those coordinates are loaded into VMD, the the resulting picture conveys not only the shape of the molecule, but other important properties as well.

At ECU, we teach business differently from other universities. We believe in the importance of developing your employability skills to better prepare you for your future career in the workplace. We were the first in Australia to teach employability skills in a specially designed program called ECU Business Edge.
So what are these employability skills? They are a list of skills, behaviours and attributes first developed in 2002 by the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Business Council of Australia, with funding by the Australian Federal Government. They are considered essential if students want to be 'job-ready' when they finish their degree. We revised them further to keep them up to date and relevant for future graduates and the contemporary workplace. We want students to have a competitive edge in the job market when they graduate.
Find out more about these skills.
ECU Business Edge is taught in specially designed classrooms with up to date technology to allow you to work with others on real world problems.
It's student-centred so there are plenty of role-plays, scenarios, interactive multi-media and activities where students develop their employability skills by 'doing'. In the final capstone unit, students get the opportunity to do practical work integrated learning with local businesses to really extend their skills and abilities.
The program responds to the voice of the employer through the relevant content and innovative facilitation styles, which support and further develop the identified employability skills. The ECU Business Edge team continually strive to enhance the relevance of the program by consultation and interaction with the local business community.

For years, castor oil is prescribed by doctors as a purgative. But medicine has evolved, and the new, softer drugs currently occupy this niche, and the popularity of castor oil as a medicine declined. Of course, the beneficial properties of oils are used in our day: how many years ago, it is used for skin care, to strengthen the hair - just as a cosmetic. In addition, castor oil is used for massage. However, this is not all of the properties, which can boast castor oil. Traditional medicine is successfully using castor oil for weight loss, and in combination with diet and exercise, it gives results.
Castor oil for weight loss Recipes
There are some recipes use of castor oil as a means to combat obesity. They are based on the purification of the body.
The first option is the consumption of 2-3 tea spoons of castor oil before breakfast. Drink it later in the day is not recommended: the fact that the effect and it will be quite severe, doctors advise abused castor oil, because it can negatively affect your health. Oil is a similar technique in the week, after a week without oil can return to its consumption, again, for seven days.
The second recipe is a single dose of castor oil in the morning in the amount of 1.5-2 tablespoons, and then the whole day the body is cleaned. On this day, of course, nothing is planned.
The third recipe - it is 1 teaspoon butter, plus the same amount of dry ground into powder chicory root. With this mixture decreases appetite and lowers blood sugar. Take castor oil with chicory for a month in the morning.
You can take castor oil for weight loss, together with linseed oil: Take a teaspoon of both and wash down with a glass of cold water. As a result, improves lipid and carbohydrate metabolism.
You can also mix a teaspoon of castor oil with a tablespoon of bran powder and a tablespoon of low-fat yogurt - this mixture is not only a one-time get rid of constipation, but also normalizes the intestinal flora.
The use of castor oil: Reviews
Castor oil as a means to combat excess weight has its fans, but the negative reviews too much. First, do not abuse them, in reasonable doses oil will actually help the body to cleanse, but excessive consumption of it will lead to an upset stomach, and disorder, in turn, to dehydration and loss of important vitamins like A, E and C and other essential elements, without which the body simply can not function properly. The more that the continued use of laxatives for weight loss does not help - on the contrary, normal metabolism, resulting in reduced efficiency of your diet.
If the reception of castor oil may cause diarrhea, you should drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration, which further slows the metabolism.
Castor oil makes sense to use for its intended purpose, when the abundance of protein food problems with a chair (on protein diets). When applied properly, it will relieve the body of toxins and impurities, improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

With that in mind, we recently just got the opportunity of receiving our review unit – and of course, we gave it the ceremonial unboxing process. Since this is Apple we're talking about, it's a fairly uniform process with the packaging of their devices. In fact, the box for the Verizon iPhone 4 is nearly identical with the AT&T one since it relies on a minimalistic approach. Included with the packaging are none other than its proprietary USB cable, wall charger, wired stereo headset, support documentation, and Apple decals.
As for the handset itself, it's still quite a remarkable device since you utterly feel its premium finish as every nook and cranny oozes with quality. Granted that it might not have the similar wow factor since AT&T's version has been out for over 7 months now, we'd imagine that Verizon customers are ecstatic to finally be able to grasp an iPhone that's made to work with their network. Expect our in-depth review soon!

Disability Insurance for Maternity May Cover Only Six Weeks, or Less
Though federal law guarantees you 12 weeks of unpaid leave, disability insurance may only cover six weeks, or even less. Also note that some employers require that you use up any vacation or sick days (during which you would collect your full salary) before disability insurance kicks in. If you're not yet pregnant but considering a baby, now is a good time to make sure that you have short-term disability insurance and to find out the details.

There Are Now 200K Advertisers On Instagram
The New Promises Of France's Legal Tech Startups
Instagram announced today that it has 200,000 monthly active advertisers.
To compare, Facebook said a year go that it had more than 2 million active advertisers, while Twitter says it has
140,000 130,000. Probably the most impressive thing about the Instagram number is the fact that the Facebook-owned photo-sharing service only had a few hundred advertisers back in June.
Much of that growth has been international — Instagram's ad program expanded globally five months ago, and James Quarles, Instagram's head of business and brand development, told me that 75 percent of advertisers are outside the United States.
For example, Instagram points pointed to German supermarket Rewe, which ran a campaign that resulted in a 37 percent improvement in ad recall. There's also Brazilian e-commerce company PetLove, whose campaign saw a 30 percent lower cost per install compared to other online channels.
That sounds good for advertisers, but what does this ad growth if you're a regular Instagram user? Are going to see more ads?
Quarles said that's not necessarily the case — more advertisers doesn't have to mean more ads. In fact, he said a bigger, more diverse group of advertisers can improve the user experience, since you're more likely to see ads that are relevant to your interests. He also noted that the number of ads you see is "commensurate with amount of time spent on Instagram," and that Instagram has been working with businesses to help them "find their visual voice," so that the ads are high quality and effective.Featured Image: Twin Design/Shutterstock

Anthony Contreras delivered an RBI single to knock in Kyle Haines, and Tyler Von Schell brought home Richardson with a sacrifice fly as San Jose scored two more runs in the third to move in front 3-0.
San Jose's three-run fifth inning rally was highlighted by an RBI double by Mike Mooney, and a run-scoring single from Brian Bocock.
David Maroul cracked a solo homer in the sixth to put San Jose in front 6-0, and the way Joe Martinez was throwing on the mound, it looked like the Giants were on their way to victory. But the game quickly fell apart in the sixth, as Modesto rocked Martinez for four runs to close the gap to 7-4.
Yosandy Ibanez entered the game in the seventh and things only got worse. Ibanez was raked for four funs in just 1/3 of an inning, and by the time he departed, Modesto had gone in front 8-7.

The GreenJackets were handcuffed offensively by Mike McClendon, who shut them out for five innings.
