THE STOUSH that Sonny Bill Williams and Clarence Tillman had at their weigh-in prior to their fight offered more excitement than the actual thing.
For those of you who missed the highly-anticipated duel – all two minutes and 54 seconds of it – the All Blacks midfielder beat his chunky Yankee counterpart following a first-round technical knockout.
Those in the crowd who paid up to $100 to watch the two men slug it out over 10 rounds would have surely felt ripped off. Those who subscribed to the fight on SKY would have felt the same, as the pay-per-view bill of $39.95 meant the bout cost them $13.77 a minute – or 22 cents a second.
The only people who came away with anything from this were the two competitors and fight organisers.
Indeed, it was yet another farcical bout in the farcical boxing career of Williams. Some labelled it the 'Con in the Tron' prior to the two touching gloves and they were proven right.
Tillman – who had placed a $1000 bet on himself at the TAB to knock Williams out in the first round – was rubbish. His modest record aside, he was meant to test the mettle of Williams as a boxer.
In the end, however, he did nothing of the sort. Tagging Williams at the pre-fight weigh-in is all Tillman will be remembered for.
But the winner was not perfect either, despite his fans saying he once again proved the doubters wrong. His technique is still flawed and he clearly lacks the out-and-out power to finish off opponents (he did not knock Tillman to the canvas – the ref stopped the fight).
So Williams, who is now undefeated in five professional outings, has earned the right to parade around and market himself as the New Zealand heavyweight champion (it is worth mentioning that had Tillman won, he would have been ineligible to wear the belt, as he is not a New Zealand citizen).
But until he ups his game and starts fighting better opponents when he steps between the ropes, Williams' title with be nothing more than a leather strap with a couple of pieces of tin on it.

Pressure is on Benji, but shouldn't we remember SBW went to France (Toulon) for 2 years to learn the game.
With all of the news around concussion do you think there should be safety measures in place for players to ensure they don't play on after a head know? How and who should police that?
With the start of club rugby upon us, how can we maintain the value of the clubs in player pathways and community spirit.

i have no idea why, but for some reason the launchmodem command does not work. Acts like a page that doesn't exist. it has worked in the past for me. Any help?
Use the modem's address instead. It's probably 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1.Westell's setup software adds an entry into your Windows HOSTS file so "launchmodem" is equivalent to the modem's address. Perhaps this fact will reveal why it's not working now (ever run Westell setup software on that computer? Ever modify your HOSTS file?)
Neither of those work. I have read elsewhere to try 192.168.1.254 but that takes me to my router.I haven't changed any host files and do not even know where they are located (besides, I have 3 computers and can't get to the modem page from any of them).
If you've placed a router between your PCs and the modem it's not easy to get to the modem page at all and virtually impossible if the modem and router are in the same subnet (like 192.168.1.x). I suspect this is your problem.Hook up directly to the modem or get very creative (I used to bypass a router with a 2nd router to do exactly this).

Contract negotiations between Consolidated Edison and its biggest union carried on past a midnight deadline on Saturday, amid threats of a strike that union leaders say could disrupt electricity flows to the city.
The two sides remained locked behind closed doors in the early hours on Sunday, said John Melia, a spokesman for the union, Local 1-2 of the Utility Workers Union of America. Mr. Melia said the sides could agree to extend negotiations if progress had been made, but said he could offer no prognosis on the outcome of the talks.
The union has threatened to walk off the job over company proposals to reduce pension benefits. Some 8,500 Con Edison workers belong to the union, the company's largest.

Charities should be aware that it is now illegal for anyone to receive compensation for preparing a return for someone else if they have not obtained a PTIN from the IRS first; a paid preparer who is not registered with the IRS is perpetrating fraud.

Charities also need to keep in mind that the organization, regardless of whether or not a paid preparer was used, is ultimately responsible for the information in it's exemption application.… Continue Reading

But, yeah, if he is just teasing, it's kinda an asshole move on his part, considering the circumstances. Which I certainly don't rule out, but, yeah. I'm not saying I'd hate him or anything, but I won't be able to consider him an ally if he thinks that kind of extensive teasing/mocking is all okay.
If it is all just teasing, that is completely and totally fair (though I think even people who are genuinely allies can make mistakes). I do think it is certainly an unwise move, if teasing. I also do think Misha has well proven that he is a smart and kind person, and if he is just teasing, he would be mortified to think it hurt anyone (and would probably jump to apologize, as he has many times in the past).

yeah i have a feeling there's some sort of twist to it that none of us are thinking of
I would be willing to bet on it being just plain sex (with perhaps an unusual twist to it), or it being a dream. If I were writing it (assuming it really is in the early episodes), it probably would be a dream because Cas would be horrified on multiple levels that way, setting up for it being a safe and comfortable and wanted activity later on in the season.

I agree that he seems to be more aware of the impact of what he says, as he's corrected his word choices in the past (the lip service comment) and has addressed queerbaiting accusations, so I'd be really surprised if he was trolling about this.
That is about the only part of this whole mess that would surprise me (though again, everyone makes mistakes and actors especially can get over-excited and say foolish things, in my experience). This is a guy who (rightly) gets upset over the show throwing around the "bitch" word too lightly, after all.♥6

ROSE-RINGED PARAKEET or RINGNECKED PARAKEETPsittacula krameri©Anirban Brahma
The Rose-ringed Parakeet is a gregarious tropical Afro-Asian parakeet species that has an extremely large range. Since the trend of the population appears to be increasing, the species has been evaluated as Least Concern by IUCN in 2009.
Rose-ringed parakeets are popular as pets. Both males and females have the ability to mimic human speech.
This non-migrating bird is one of the few parrot species that have successfully adapted to living in 'disturbed habitats',allowing them to withstand the onslaught of urbanization and deforestation. Source

Doctor Appeals Concealed Gun Permit Rejection
A Jackson doctor is filing court papers saying he should be allowed to have a concealed carry permit even though the Teton County Sheriff says otherwise. Jackson Hole Daily says Dr. Brent Blue filed a request last month for a judicial review because the Division of Criminal Investigation wouldn't let him renew his permit. DCI rejected his renewal because Blue was arrested in 1999 for shooting a .32-caliber handgun at his ex-wife's car to keep her from driving away

Dear Supporter,
This year's program at the Luang Prabang Children's Library has seen an exciting new addition to GVI's our regular English classes. At the request of the library's Director GVI Laos Luang Prabang has initiated a children's activities class to cater for the kids who are participating in the library's summer holiday care program. To maintain a fun holiday atmosphere the classes are run as English language based activities.
The children come from different backgrounds and villages in and around the town of Luang Prabang. Some of them have never had the opportunity to learn English from native speakers before. Others have formerly attended GVI run classes at other locations. All of the students are eager to learn and develop their English language skills. Word quickly spread around and we had so many students interested that we've added an additional class to accommodate more children. Their ages range from as young as five years old up to around 13 years old.
The students have been learning traditional English nursery rhymes such as Row Your Boat, Baa Baa Black Sheep and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. They have also been taught some modern children's songs such as Wheels on the Bus and The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Music, song and dance is a large part of the culture in Laos, so by including them in our classes we keep it relative and interesting for the students. Children's songs are very repetitive which helps commit them to long term memory, whoever doesn't get Wheels on the Bus stuck in their head is superhuman! and for many students singing a word or phrase is better practice for accurate pronunciation than saying it. Every song has a dance to accompany it to help the students remember the words.
To go with the songs the students make crafts that are related to the lyrics. Over just four short weeks they have made sailboats, rivers, teapots, lion masks, sheep and even decorated their own class parachute to use in games. Everyday the children leave smiling and singing, showing their friends and family the fun thing they made and dance they learned.
A big thank you to all those who have been involved in starting, teaching and supporting this program! Khop Jai Lai Lai!
All the best
GVI Laos
It's that time of year! Our third annual 5am for 5days challenge will run from May 12th-16th 2014. The annual challenge gets to the heart and sou of Buddhist Lao culture and Luang Prabang ritual practice. For 5 days (teaching days Monday – Friday), in-country volunteers and staff will give alms to monks and novices. Although this is something many volunteers elect to observe or take part in at least once during their project, our commitment to a 5 day alms-giving stint is in line with local habits; most locals, especially women, give food to the procession of passing Buddhist temple inhabitants every single day, with starts at early as 5am!
It is the biggest fundraising event of the year for the team and is vital for being able to continue supporting our students for the full year. GVI Laos raises money to provide sponsorships for English tuition, scholarships for Secondary and Tertiary education and general support for medical issues for disadvantaged students. In addition, the annual CT Challenge provides an injection of much-needed funds in support of the Lao community and temples with which we are connected.
To find out more and keep up to date with the challenge through the week, please do follow the GVI Laos team on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/GVILaosLuangPrabang) or twitter (https://twitter.com/GVILuangPrabang).
In January, the students at Xayadeth College were given a month of holiday time between the 2 semesters. The GVI staff came up with the idea of offering holiday classes so the students would not lose an entire month of studying English. We encouraged the students who needed more practice and assistance to attend these classes so they could receive extra help from a trained GVI teaching volunteer.
Our holiday classes were small in size but this benefited the students by having more individual support from the volunteers. We are proud of the students who took this opportunity to continue learning over their holiday break. The second semester of the school year started in February and we are already looking forward to holding further holiday classes in the future.
Recent donations have also been used to sponsor 8 students to attend MEC (Mekong English Centre) for 12 months, 1 Novice for Maths classes and classroom rental for 2 Novice Classes. All this has helped to assist further tertiary education opportunities for these students who would otherwise not have the chance.
Thank you for making this happen!
Kho khob chai than
Recently, the graduation ceremony for the Year 3, 2012-2013 students was held. This special event held in the Performance Centre of the Luang Prabang Museum is a significant day for the Xayadeth students. After studying for 3 years part-time and upon successful completion of assessments, the graduating students received a Diploma of English.
GVI assisted with the students education at Xayadeth include volunteers ctively observing students' learning and address gaps in students' knowledge. GVI volunteers are taught in their training sessions to consider teaching techniques that encourage maximum participation and challenge for all students in all language areas of reading, writing, speaking and listening and through the support of Trust donors, we have an extensive range of resources and text books to support the set curriculum of Xayadeth College.
I hope you will join the GVI Charitable Trust in congratulating the graduating students of 2013. We hope that these students' lives are enhanced by the teaching and support they received from GVI volunteers and donors.
Thank you for making a difference this year for these students. We hope to continue with your support and see more students graduate next year!

Another game, and another reminder that things aren't getting any easier for the Rhode Island Rams. Rhody is on the road once again as they take on the La Salle Explorers, who only make it to the Sweet 16 last year. No big deal, right? Well this one is more winnable than most may have thought before the season began. La Salle is just 9-6 on the year, and their offensive struggles have been well chronicled. So here's what the Rams will need to do to snag their first A-10 W.
1. Come Ready to Play
This one sounds kind of silly, because this could be a "key" for every team for every sporting event ever played. Also because it's not something that's usually an issue for Division I basketball teams. But if you watched URI's performance against the Colonials last time out… yeah. That type of effort cannot happen again. And with Dan Hurley at the helm, we trust that it won't.
2. Turn Up the Perimeter Defense
The Explorers pose some different problems than GW did, and the Rams will need to adjust. While George Washington gave Rhody problems down low (and then some), La Salle's two star players are both guards. Point guard Tyreek Duren is averaging 13.7 points and 3.8 assists per game, and fellow senior Tyrone Garland checks in with 14.1 points and 2.3 assists. URI is going to need their guards to step up on defense to try and keep the duo in check.
3. Start Strong
This kind of goes hand-in-hand with "coming ready to play", but simply avoiding laying an egg in the first half won't be enough. The Rams have had a pair of rocky first halves in their first two A-10 games so far, and they need to reverse the trend. It's going to be tough considering Rhody is on the road once again, but a lead in the first half would be awfully nice.
4. Control the Glass
Rhode Island will once again be facing a team that rebounds just about as well as they do. And while URI has had some difficulties capitalizing on 50/50 match-ups lately, it's another obstacle they're going to have to overcome to snag a win. La Salle is averaging 36.7 boards per game while the Rams are at 36.6. Can Rhody come out on top when it comes to rebounding? If they do, they'll most likely be able to come away with the victory.
5. Play Under Control
The Rams are 0-2 in the conference. They're coming off a pretty dismal performance. Fans are starting to panic a bit. But the players themselves can't get wrapped up in it and start to do too much. When URI was down by 30-something points to GW, several players started going wild on both ends of the floor as they tried to take over the game and single-handedly lead Rhody back. This time, the Rams need to calm down and stick to the game plan, even if they find themselves behind. It's not always the easiest thing to do, but it's the only way they'll have a chance in this one.
So what do you think – will Rhode Island grab Atlantic 10 win number one? Or will the Explorers move to 3-0 in the conference and send URI fans closer to the ledge? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Top college prospect, Jameis Winston, is expected to be one of the top selections in the draft WHEN he declares for the draft. He is eligible to declare for the draft after this college season.Will that be a move that he makes though? His dad says that Jameis will be attending all 4 years of college and will not be declaring for the draft after the season.
Here are some thoughts from his dad, Antonor Winston, via an interview with AL.com:
"We want Jameis to succeed with one more year in baseball and two more years in football," he said. "We've never strayed from our plan that he is going to be in college until he gets that degree."
Can we get Jameis's thoughts on this situation? These are his dad's thoughts at the moment, but haven't we all have told our dads some little white lies from time to time? What will Jameis do when the season is up? Will he continue to play football in college or make the move to the NFL? I believe he will declare for the draft.

Everyone who knows me knows that I am an absolute competition reality TV addict. I love watching competition shows that bring people together from all over, fighting it out to win a specific prize in front of television cameras. While I am smart enough to know that the contestants for the shows are cast not only for their talents but also for their appearance and demographic profile, I'm willing to suspend my disbelief, delve into the fantasy, and root for a favorite. Teens are the same way- ask them what they're watching, and it can be anything from the new season of Survivor to Iron Chef America to Top Chef to The Great Escape. Some of the most popular programs that I've done have tied in reality television with library programming and books within my collection….
Project Runway (Lifetime)
TV Concept: With a limited budget, in an insanely small amount of time, create an outfit to fit the challenge and wow the expert judges, or be sent home.
Library Program: Create your own fashion runway within the library, while the tween and teens have fun and challenge their fashion sense. Connect with the local cosmetology school and see if they would be willing to send some of their graduating students to do hair and/or makeup for the tween/teen models the day of the challenge. Have tweens/teens sign up to be contestants and their own models, and bring items from home for their challenge outfits. Use a kicking but clean music background, and after the teens are dressed and prepped, have them walk the runway for their family and friends. If possible, enlist volunteers to take digital pictures of the teens during hair/makeup prep and at the end like a real fashion show, and have the pictures available for download afterwards on a secure site so participants and their parents have those memories of the event.
Collection Connection: Fashion books and magazines, how-to-sew books, how to crochet books, jewelry creation books, biographies of fashion designers and models from Coco Channel and Jimmy Choo to Heidi Klum.
See previous TLT TPIB Project Fashion for addition Project Runway inspired program ideas.
See previous TLT TPIB Project Fashion for addition Project Runway inspired program ideas.
Fear Factor (Chiller)
TV Concept: Contestants go through a variety of increasingly gross, fearsome, and dangerous challenges in order to win the game.
Library Program: While we don't want to make anyone sick or cause anyone harm, there are ways to twist this program to fit within the library. First off, you can use the harmless tricks of a Halloween program for the gross or fear challenges: take cold, cooked spaghetti noodles and peeled grapes with red food coloring, place them in an enclosed box, and tell the teens they're something obnoxious, and make them put their hand in for a certain amount of time. Second, you can do safe but nasty food challenges- get a brain mold, and take green Jell-O and sink bacon and pimentos in it. Do a Buddy the Elf round and make Spaghettio's a la Buddy. Mix up a baby food shake. Or if you have access and really want to go for it, you can find chocolate covered grasshoppers and ants- completely edible. For this type of program, whether it's food or challenges, make sure to have a permission slip, and have a spot for allergies.
Collection Connection: extreme sports books and magazines, books on cuisines from different cultures, weird and strange food books, grossology books, Guinness Book of World Records.
Cupcake Wars (Food Network) / Top Chef: Desserts (Bravo TV)
TV Concept: In Cupcake Wars, four sets of cupcake bakers compete against each other to have their cupcakes showcased at a superstar event in ever-increasing challenges. In Top Chef: Desserts, cheftestants compete in a series of 30 minute and elimination challenges showcasing their cooking skills in order to win the title of Top Chef.
Library Concept: Partner with a local bakery and other sponsors and get vanilla cupcakes (or cake pops) and a variety of frostings, toppings, fruits and sauces. Set up tables around the room with individual stations that each have a cupcake, and individual servings of each frosting, topping, and sauce that you have available, along with plastic ware, brushes, and any other decoration supplies that you think the teens might need. Give the teens a set amount of time to dress up their vanilla cupcake to impress the judges in this cupcake war. There are endless ways to spin this- ice cream sundaes, cookie sandwiches, dessert pizzas with the cookie crust already cooked, or smoothie concoctions. See if there is a local culinary school in the area that would be willing to send their pastry chefs or students to be judges. Again, since this is a food challenge, I recommend having a permission slip signed with allergies listed.
Collection Connection: cook books and cooking magazines, chef biographies like Yes, Chef by Marcus Samuelsson and No Reservations by Anthony Bourdain.
See previous TLT TPIB Food Fight, based on The Sweetest Thing by Christina Mandelski for more Food Network inspired ideas.
See previous TLT TPIB Food Fight, based on The Sweetest Thing by Christina Mandelski for more Food Network inspired ideas.
Craft Wars (TLC) / Chopped (Food Network)
TV Concept: In Craft Wars, crafters are to create a stunning craft using unconventional materials and use of the sponsor's craft closet in order to win over the expert judges. In Chopped, chefs are given baskets of ingredients and are tasked to incorporate those ingredients into a beautiful dish for the judges progressing from appetizer through dessert.
Library Concept: Take simple lunch sacks, and pop in left over crafts materials that you want/need to get rid of- those spare buttons, the odd pipe cleaner, the random sticky foam shapes, withdrawn books or DVDs that are damaged beyond use for the Friends of the Library book sale. Create your own "sponsor's craft closet" by setting up a table of glue sticks and bottles, scissors, popsicle sticks, construction paper, and anything else you want the teens to use. Have the teens open the bags, then give them a certain amount of time to create whatever craft they want to create. They HAVE to use whatever was in the paper sack in the craft, but they can use anything they want from the supply table.
Collection Connection: any and all crafting books and magazines, PS I Made This, lifestyle magazines, origami books, drawing books, biographies of those in the entertainment and style world like Tori Spelling (host of Craft Wars).
There are so many more that you could do: Survivor or Amazing Race-style scavenger hunts, Minute to Win It Family Night Games, Ninja Warrior challenges… the list goes on! What type of programs do you do in your library, and what type of reality TV programs can you think of that would connect with your teens?

- Saturday, September 28, 2002
One of the most amazing aspects of Scripture is that it is alive and active, not dead and dull. Indeed, God still speaks today through the mystery of His Word. The Holy Spirit illumines our minds to what is revealed in Scripture. The Holy Spirit makes us "wise up to what is written, not beyond it."
While we listen, we must also "test the spirits." As the apostle John warns, "Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world" (1 John 4:1). It is particularly important to "test the spirits" because Satan's foremost strategy of spiritual seduction is to disguise himself as an angel of light (cf. 2 Corinthians 11:14). His slickest slogan is "Feel, don't think."
God's Spirit, on the other hand, illumines our minds so that we may understand what He has freely given us (1 Corinthians 2:12). Before I became a Christian, reading the Bible was like reading someone else's mail. Now, however, the Scriptures have become 66 love letters from God, addressed specifically to me. As Jesus so wonderfully stated, "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me" (John 10:27, emphasis added).
Scripture exhorts us to study to show ourselves approved to God, workmen who do not need to blush with embarrassment, correctly handling the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15).
In examining Scripture, it is typically best to start with one good translation and then to stick with it. This will provide you with consistency as well as help you in the process of memorizing Scripture. In studying, however, it is best to use a number of good Bible translations. Since there are so many translations available today, let me point out some of the more notable differences.
An example of a good word-for-word translation is the New American Standard Bible. Although it is sometimes stilted, it is excellent for the purpose of study. A great thought-for-thought translation is the New International Version. It is extremely reliable as well as extraordinarily readable. To preserve the majesty of the English language, there is no better translation than the King James Version.
It should be noted, however, that due to recent manuscript discoveries, the Greek text from which the KJV was translated (the so-called "Textus Receptus" or Received Text) doesn't take into account some of the texts on which the NASB and NIV are based. There are also a number of paraphrases on the market today, such as the J.B. Phillips paraphrase and The Living Bible. While these are both readable, I do not recommend them for close study.
A number of Bible translations should be avoided at all costs. Among them are the New World Translation, which reflects the cultic concepts of the Jehovah's Witnesses, and the Lamsa translation, which is doctrinally biased and highly esoteric.
To aid in your study of Scripture, here are some other practical tools I recommend.
- Study Bibles. There are some excellent study Bibles on the market today, including the Student Bible, the NIV Study Bible, and The International Inductive Study Bible. There are also some terrible study Bibles. Notable examples include the Word Study Bible, with contributions by 13 leading Faith teachers; the Holy Bible: Kenneth Copeland Reference Edition Bible; and Dake's Annotated Reference Bible.
Perhaps the worst collection of false teachings is found in the popular Dake's Annotated Reference Bible. "God ... goes from place to place in a body like all other persons," says Dake, and He is just "an ordinary sized being." "He wears clothes ... eats ... rests ... dwells in a mansion and in a city located on a material planet called Heaven."
On the very first page of the New Testament, Dake writes that Jesus "became the Christ or the 'Anointed One' 30 years after he was born of Mary." Even a biblically illiterate person who has watched the "Charlie Brown Christmas Special" (1965) or has sung Christmas carols should be familiar with Luke 2:11, which says, "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord" (KJV, emphasis added).

[Wasted-Cartel] Hamish|John
John thought he had Hamish calmed down enough, but he should've known that Hamish wouldn't remember anything right away. So when his son starts to panic again, John still remains standing, a hand on Hamish's shoulder to keep him lying on the bed. He needed to stay still, especially with his head wound.
"Hamish, It's okay, it's okay." John tried to assure him, then bit his lip. If Hamish was the least damanged out of the five, how were the others? "I don't know if they are, 'Mish. But I'll ask later, okay? You need to rest right now."
Hamish nodded, letting himself sink back into the bed. He looked down at himself, now, trying to see how bad everything was. Whatever they were pumping through him kept back most of the pain, but not all of it. It was too hard to look at, however, and he chooses to close his eyes again.
John had always been so careful about Hamish driving, making sure that he followed every rule, every law, and stayed safe. He could only remember bits and pieces of the accident, but he remembers speeding, and taking his eyes off the road. "I'm so sorry, Dad…"

BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, November 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Attunity Ltd. (NASDAQ: ATTU), a leading provider of information availability software solutions, announced today the release of Attunity Managed File Transfer (MFT) for Hadoop. The new generation enterprise data transfer solution is designed to accelerate Big Data collection processes and integrate them seamlessly into and out of Hadoop, the open-source programming framework for large-scale data processing. Building on the proven and enterprise-scale capabilities of Attunity MFT, the solution empowers organizations to collect and transfer Big Data in both the cloud and enterprise data centers for strategic initiatives including log and machine-data analytics, business intelligence (BI), and data archiving.
As volumes of business data continue to increase, organizations are adopting Hadoop to store, manage, and process Big Data. However, like other Big Data projects, IT organizations are struggling to efficiently and effectively move the data for BI and analytics. Similarly, organizations that are seeing Hadoop as a lower cost alternative for archiving run into the same Big Data movement challenges.
Attunity MFT for Hadoop is designed to overcome the Big Data bottleneck by providing an enterprise-scale gateway to the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), a distributed file system that enables scalable storage and processing of "internet-scale" Big Data. The Attunity solution facilitates the process of transferring data to HDFS by providing robust capabilities including automation, scheduling, security, and auditing. Seamlessly integrated with HDFS, Attunity MFT for Hadoop enables moving data into and out of Hadoop in either batch or real time.
Attunity MFT for Hadoop features:
- Enterprise-scale automation and scheduling for IT processes that collect and transfer data into HDFS, with advanced dashboards and notifications to monitor and control data transfer
- Support for many sources of data including enterprise as well as cloud files systems, web protocols like HTTP/S and S/FTP, email, and desktop
- Support for any Hadoop distribution based on standard HDFS 1.0 or higher, such as those by Apache, HortonWorks and Cloudera
- Web Services API for seamless integration with enterprise business platforms (ie. ERP, BPM, & CRM)
- Multi-stage processing of the data being transferred with extensive security configuration options to meet the needs of highly regulated industries
"Hadoop has quickly become the platform of choice for storing, managing and analyzing big data. We are pleased with the Attunity MFT solution that addresses the challenges that enterprises face with large volumes of data and a variety of sources and formats," said Mitch Ferguson, vice president of business development at Hortonworks, a leading commercial vendor of Apache Hadoop. "Our goal is to make Apache Hadoop become the next generation data platform. Our partnership with Attunity helps bring an enterprise solution to market that facilitates the adoption of Hadoop."
"Enterprises that leverage Big Data gain greater insight into their customers, operations, and business environments," explained Matt Benati, VP Global Marketing at Attunity. "Attunity MFT for Hadoop, the first of several Hadoop solutions that Attunity will unveil, is designed to deliver on the great promise of Hadoop by helping organizations achieve faster time-to-value for Big Data analytics projects. With the release of Attunity MFT for Hadoop, Attunity is able to increase its addressable market, provide broader options for customers, and help companies harness the power of Big Data to drive new insights and deliver competitive advantage."

Things are being built upon cloud foundations to transform organizations. This CEO Power Panel at 15th Cloud Expo, moderated by Roger Strukhoff, Cloud Expo and @ThingsExpo conference chair, will address the big issues involving these technologies and, more important, the results they will achieve. How important are public, private, and hybrid cloud to the enterprise? How does one define Big Data? And how is the IoT tying all this together?

We certainly live in interesting technological times. And no more interesting than the current competing IoT standards for connectivity. Various standards bodies, approaches, and ecosystems are vying for mindshare and positioning for a competitive edge. It is clear that when the dust settles, we will have new protocols, evolved protocols, that will change the way we interact with devices and infrastructure. We will also have evolved web protocols, like HTTP/2, that will be changing the very core of our infrastructures. At the same time, we have old approaches made new again like micro-services...

From a software development perspective IoT is about programming "things," about connecting them with each other or integrating them with existing applications. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Yakov Fain, co-founder of Farata Systems and SuranceBay, will show you how small IoT-enabled devices from multiple manufacturers can be integrated into the workflow of an enterprise application. This is a practical demo of building a framework and components in HTML/Java/Mobile technologies to serve as a platform that can integrate new devices as they become available on the market.

First Christian Church Holding Spaghetti Dinner and Auction to Benefit Sedalia Relay for Life

Evening of Heart and Hope to Support Boys and Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri [INTERVIEW]
We've been talking with Matt LaCasse and the gang from the Boys and Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri every week now for a while, reminding you about the upcoming Evening of Heart and Hope. I think it's an important way for us in Sedalia to give back to the ones in our community who need it: our kids.
Sedalia Raises Goodwill and Funding with Food: Here's Where You Can Eat for a Good Cause
There's an old proverb that tells us that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. While that adage might be old fashioned when it comes to modern, progressive romance, it's still true when it comes to raising money. Sedalia likes food, dadgummit, and we like to raise money for charities and good causes while we're eating it.
So here's a look at some fundraisers and charity events coming up that involve food and desserts. Stuff yourself silly for a great cause!
Shriners Holding Annual Dave Kelley Dinner at the Shrine Club This Week
I know sometimes it can be a little strange trying to figure out just what there is to do around here. I sometimes see people on Facebook or other social media asking, "What are you guys doing tonight?" Well, I think sometimes people forget about all the good community get-togethers around here just because they're not looking for them.
So, I thought I'd share something I got in our Community Calendar submissions this week. The Shriners are having another great dinner this week. You know you always see the Shriners in parades and stuff? They're always helping out around town. So why not stop by and help them help others while you eat some tasty food?
Dinner or Supper: What Do Missourians Call the Evening Meal? [POLL]
Dinner or Supper Poll
Is it "breakfast, dinner and supper," or "breakfast, lunch and dinner"? Tell us in our poll!
What Will Thanksgiving Dinner Cost This Year? — Dollars and Sense
Do You Enjoy Breakfast for Dinner? [POLL]
Do you remember the old saying, "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day?" I am probably the person that most neglects eating a wholesome breakfast before I head out the door for work. I wish that I had the time to make French toast, waffles, pancakes or waffles, but unfortunately, time does not allow that for me. Unless I think of getting up at 3 a.m. and I just think for me sleep is more important.
President Barack Obama Forgot His Mic Was on at the White House Correspondents' Dinner
The White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend quickly became a fierce competition between Barack Obama and Jimmy Kimmel for funniest of the night. While Kimmel's speech turned into a hysterical roast of practically every celeb and political figure in the room, the president certainly gave the late-night host a run for his money… especially since he "forgot" his mic was on backstage.

Fake, yes. But likes it cuz nobody killed in the name of astrology so am okay with it being believed in.
false. It is a real scam and many people get scammed with astrology.
Astrology is a primitive form of psychology, which at least correctly places each subject at the center of the universe. Belief to a degree is harmless, often entertaining, rarely insightful. False.
I wouldn't call it a scam exactly, except for those who make money from it. What it is is a selfreplicating parasite worming its way into blind spots and vanities of the human psyche and via the sense of power and knowledge over the uncontrollable and unknowable, and by delective attention, memory, and self-fulfilling prophesies, along with a number of other factors, manages to keep filling peoples heads with nonsense.<br />
But, hey. I'm a Virgo, and were ********.
Long ago in China , our ancestors believes in that ,but now it just depends on u want to believe or not
I just see it as entertainment, but I wont begrudge anyone else if they genuinely believe it.
Umm. Would a fake scam then be real? Since scams are actually deceptions, as are fakes? õ.O
By incorrect usage of these two words together you are really emphasizing that you don't have command of the english language. But to answer your question, people will believe whatever they want to.
Not really. Just kind of bored :-)
True, it is no different than religion.
I believe it has successfully made the transition from faith to entertainment for which religion is long overdue.
Let a computer draw your Natal chart and check out Robert Hands book "Planets in transit" or "Planets in Youth" and read your ACTUAL positions since learning how to read them or ask an astrologer about your actual positions in these books and you will NEVER AGAIN doubt that astrology is scaring precise... This is PROFFESSIONAL Astrology on its highest level written by a very deep and educated psychologist knowing his subjects!!! No fake!!!!!!
