Specificity / Sensitivity
IRAK4 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total IRAK4. Cross-reactivity was not detected with other family members.
Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, MonkeySource / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding lysine 41 of human IRAK4. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor-associated kinase (IRAK) is a serine/threonine-specific kinase that can be coprecipitated in an IL-1-inducible manner with the IL-1 receptor (1). The mammalian family of IRAK molecules contains four members (IRAK1, IRAK2, IRAK3/IRAK-M, and IRAK4). The binding of IL-1 to IL-1 receptor type I (IL-1RI) initiates the formation of a complex that includes IL-1RI, AcP, MyD88, and IRAKs (2). IRAK undergoes autophosphorylation shortly after IL-1 stimulation. The subsequent events involve IRAK dissociation from the IL-1RI complex, its ubiquitination, and its association with two membrane-bound proteins: TAB2 and TRAF6. The resulting IRAK-TRAF6-TAB2 complex is then released into the cytoplasm where it activates protein kinase cascades, including TAK1, IKKs, and the stress-activated kinases (3).
Upon IL-1R/TLR (Toll-Like Receptor) ligation, IRAK1 and IRAK4 are rapidly recruited to the receptor by the adaptor MyD88 (4). IRAK1 is phosphorylated by IRAK4 at Thr209 and Thr387 (5), followed by sequential autohyperphosphorylation in various domains.

SolarCity (NASDAQ: SCTY ) installs solar-power systems on rooftops. Business has been brisk because of government mandates that electric companies buy excess power created by customers that install such systems. Arizona, however, is the first state to allow utilities to charge customers for that privilege -- which could materially alter the dynamics of SolarCity's business.
Two markets
One of SolarCity's big customers is Wal-Mart Stores (NYSE: WMT ) . The duo has worked together on more than 170 of the giant retailer's 200-plus rooftop solar installs. And there are plans for more. This effort has made Wal-Mart one of the largest players in the rooftop-solar space -- and it has plenty of room to grow its footprint since it has thousands of stores in the United States alone.
However, Wal-Mart's goal is to replace just 30% of the power it uses in a typical store. A local homeowner installing solar power has a different profile. Unlike a Wal-Mart, which is open while the sun is shining, a personal home may be fully or partially vacant during the day. With the family out of the house, all of the power being generated isn't likely being used. It would, thus, be "sold," by government mandate, back to the power grid.
A nice add on
Being able to make money off of a rooftop-solar installation, or at least offsetting a notable portion of an electric bill, is a big selling point. It also helps explain why SolarCity has partnered with retailers like Home Depot and high-end homebuilder Toll Brothers (NYSE: TOL ) . Both companies clearly see the environmental trend of solar as a way to boost both their sales and images.
Home Depot, for example, has brought SolarCity into around 450 stores. Toll, meanwhile, is benefiting from SolarCity's program that allows homebuilders to "offer solar in their new residential communities without incurring any upfront costs." And Toll's high-end customers are the perfect target market to install such systems.
An unhappy alliance
Power companies, however, aren't pleased by the government mandate to buy power from would-be customers. Companies like California's Edison International (NYSE: EIX ) contend that rooftop-solar owners are getting a free ride on their distribution networks. That essentially makes other customers pay for the benefit residential SolarCity customers receive.
And that differential isn't small. Edison International estimates that it costs around $0.08 per kilowatt hour for the company to make electricity, but it has to pay rooftop-solar owners about $0.28. That's a big difference, and it helps explain why utilities are working hard to get paid a monthly fee for hooking rooftop-solar systems to the grid.
Arizona has heard the utilities' concerns and done something about it. Arizona Public Services Group, a division of Pinnacle West Capital (NYSE: PNW ) , asked regulators in that state to allow a $50 per month charge for net-metering customers. Although it didn't get what it wanted, the utility was allowed to charge such customers around $5 a month.
Pinnacle West's $5 a month charge clearly isn't a death blow to SolarCity. However, it suggests an important change on the regulatory front. Where once the idea was to foster such renewable-energy systems with little regard to the impact on supporting systems, Arizona marks a switch to looking at the bigger picture. If other states follow this lead, it will be harder for SolarCity, Home Depot, and Toll Brothers to get customers to sign up for new solar systems.
Watch, but don't fear
Arizona allowing Pinnacle West to charge customers a fee for net metering is an important trend for you to monitor. It's a potential lifeline for utilities that were watching customers essentially turn into competitors. For SolarCity, however, it could make selling residential solar much harder. However, it's important to remember that residential solar systems are only one part of SolarCity's business. Any setback here could simply result in a shift toward serving more business customers like Wal-Mart. You should keep a close eye on how SolarCity adjusts if the Arizona ruling is the start of a trend.
In the meantime, U.S. oil and natural gas shouldn't be forgotten

The survey focuses on injured New Zealanders and aims to show the extent to which ACC claimants get access to justice and the protection of the law, organisers say.
The support group, Acclaim Otago, last year received a shadow report grant amounting to $8650 from the New Zealand Law Foundation.
This funding enabled the group to prepare a report on New Zealand's compliance with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
Such ''shadow'' reports are often produced by community groups, rather than by government agencies.
The final Otago report, including the survey feedback, will be sent to a UN committee of disability specialists that will meet in Geneva, Switzerland, in September to consider New Zealand's compliance with the convention.
Acclaim Otago spokeswoman Dr Denise Powell said the group had already sent a draft report to the committee, which had subsequently asked the Government to explain ''whether New Zealand law provides access to justice'' for people with disabilities engaged in the statutory dispute resolution process under the ACC scheme.
Warren Forster, lead author of the group's report, said the survey allowed ''injured Kiwis'' to have their voices heard.
The survey would ''directly inform'' Acclaim Otago's final report to the UN, he said.
Dr Powell said 800 people had taken part in an online survey organised by the support group in 2012, and she hoped 1000 people would participate in the latest survey.
The survey, which runs until June 13, can be accessed at www.surveymonkey.com/s/accesstojusticenewzealand.
Acclaim Otago had raised more than $1200 to meet additional costs involved in its UN submission but about $3800 was still needed, she said.

Q. Is psoriasis infectious? Last week I and my friends from high-school went to the pool. One of my friend has psoriasis on his back, and when the lifeguard noticed it he asked him to leave the pool because he has skin disease that may spread to the other people swimming in the pool. We told him it is psoriasis and not some fungus, but he told us that psoriasis is also infectious. Is that true? Can psoriasis infect people who come in touch with people with psoriasis? Can I go swimming with him or should be more cautious?
Q. Is leukemia contagious? A friend of mine got leukemia (blood cancer), can I get it from him if he bleeds and I touch the blood? Like HIV I mean.

Abstract: | Current consensus guidelines recommend that if a patient is not eligible for thrombolytic therapy, blood pressure (BP) should not be treated until it is >220/120 mmHg. If the patient is otherwise eligible to receive thrombolytic therapy, the maximum permitted BP is 185/110 mmHg, because of an increased risk of hemorrhage above this value. Some evidence suggests that actively lowering BP within 36 hours of acute stroke does not worsen outcomes and decreases all-cause mortality at 3 months. |

Abandoning the crowded diva field to Celine, Mariah and others, Estefan ignores the ballads that have been her strength and turns the beat around to her mid-80s Miami Sound Machine days with this collection of lusty, Cuban-flavored disco and dance-party tunes. Sounding giddy over love and the libido, Estefan, 40, is helped here by big, big production numbers complete with strings, horns and a hallelujah chorus. Produced by her husband and Miami Sound Machine founder Emilio Estefan Jr., the disc brims with more than 70 minutes of music, including remixed versions of five of the CD's first 11 tracks. Odd as it may seem to include dance remixes of dance tunes, Fugees rapper Wyclef Jean's playful reworking of "Don't Release Me" is a delightful blend of Haitian hip hop and Cuban salsa. One suggestion: lose the drum machine. While it does no harm to dancing feet, it hurts the head.
Bottom Line: Sexy Miami club music that deserves a big olé
Rod Stewart (Warner Bros.)
Album of the week
It took mod Rod the better part of two decades to live down "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" the 1978 disco ditty that at once marked the pinnacle of his commercial success and the nadir of his critical standing. It was as a more mellow, almost folkie balladeer that Stewart finally redeemed himself with Unplugged...and Seated, the 5 million-selling 1993 live album that showcased his scratchy, Scot-soul vocals as well as his long-underrated songwriting skills. Still, fans who watched the concert on TV were dismayed to find the strutting rooster of yore and his former bandmate, Ron Wood, sitting still onstage like a pair of old folks at an MTV retirement home. Now, with When We Were the New Boys, the resurgent 53-year-old lets the rocker within come out to play. Just as he did in his early '70s prime, Stewart alternates chunky, bass-thumping songs (including Oasis's "Cigarettes and Alcohol," Primal Scream's "Rocks" and Graham Parker's "Hotel Chambermaid") with wistful love ballads (Nick Lowe's "Shelly My Love") and weep-in-your-pint story songs about lost mates and long gone good times (Rod's own "When We Were the New Boys"). Instead of ersatz classic rock, Stewart offers freshly minted versions of 10 winning tunes that he will no doubt perform alongside "Maggie May" and the rest of his crowd pleasers during an upcoming summer tour. Clearly, the old rooster is back on his feet again.
Bottom Line: Vintage Rod
Brooks & Dunn (Arista)
In their eight-year collaboration, Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn have already become one of the bestselling duos of all time. Aesthetically, though, B&D have a way to go before they match the subtlety and musical sophistication of the top-selling team, Simon & Garfunkel, or that other two-man chorus, the Everly Brothers. This album, their sixth, is characteristically heavy on honky-tonky, ain't-we-the-good-ol'-boys tunes like "How Long Gone" and "Brand New Whiskey." The highlight, however, is a more thoughtful, calmer track, "If You See Him/If You See Her," a duet with Reba McEntire. And producer Don Cook and the boys were smart enough to dig up a sweet Micheal Smother-man-Greg Humphrey tune, "You're My Angel," and include the quirky Roger Miller song "Husbands and Wives." Because nobody expects the duo to become touchy-feely Sensitive New Age Guys, this adds up to a fairly entertaining package that shouldn't disappoint their old fans, even if it doesn't win them many new ones.
Bottom Line: Familiar-sounding honky-tonk from the boot-scootin' boys
Waddie Mitchell (Shanachie)
After 26 years as a working cowboy, Mitchell has long since found a second home onstage. On this live CD the homespun cowboy poet is joined by guitarists Don Edwards, Norman Blake and Rich O'Brien as he dispenses his tall tales, barbershop wisdom and cowboy lore in rhyme. Mitchell (who wrote about half the poems he recites here) is an unabashed western romantic, but he is also a charming humorist, and his CD includes comic rhymes of cowboy misadventures ("Goat on a Rope"), stuffed owls and even advice on how to cure a cross-eyed bull (don't ask). Starchy sophisticates may not embrace the CD's sentimentality, but those with softer shells will get a good laugh, and maybe something to think about.
Bottom Line: Horse sense and humor from America's best-known cowboy poet

The Weekend Buzz while you were wondering whether the Indy 500 winner drinks his milk whole, skim or two-percent. ...
1. Catcher's interference: What happened to Buster Posey is head-shakingly sad and mind-numbingly awful. The damage is severe (fractured fibula, three torn ankle ligaments, two screws to help them heal, done for the season) and the timing is horror-film eerie (his surgery Sunday was exactly one year to the day of his 2010 debut with the Giants).
That said, should baseball do more to protect its catchers?
That's the short, quick, uncomplicated answer. And it isn't meant to be as callous as it sounds. The longer, more nuanced answer is this: If there is a way to protect the players -- any player -- then it is baseball's absolute responsibility to study it.
More on Buster Posey |
Related links |
"I have reached out to Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association with our concerns and suggestions for the future regarding [the] play," Jeff Berry, Posey's agent, said in a statement Friday.
But it's hardball, not softball. Stuff happens.
The runner has an absolute right to home plate. The catcher has the right to prevent the runner from scoring. Do those two rights make a wrong? Unless you're prepared to radically change the game, there is only one way to go from here that is worth studying, and that is penalizing the runner if he goes out of his way to mow down the catcher.
Even then, what Florida's Scott Cousins did does not fall under this umbrella. Though footage and still shots show Cousins colliding with Posey in front of the plate, it isn't so far out in front as to be irrefutably unavoidable.
Not unless you can promise that Posey wasn't in the process of turning and lunging to tag Cousins in a manner that would have impeded his path to the plate.
Buster posey is helped off the field after breaking his leg on a vicious hit at the plate by Scott Cousins. (US Presswire) |
Also last year, the Angels' Bobby Wilson was knocked onto the disabled list in his first major-league start when the Yankees' Mark Teixeira blasted him in a violent home-plate collision.
Like Posey, Wilson, too, was in front of the plate to begin a classic, bang-bang play.
And as Teixeira explained, "As soon as he turns toward me, he's trying to block the plate."
Same thing faced by Cousins, who felt so badly that his eyes welled up with tears during interviews the next day.
Most catchers are taught to "show" some of the plate as they prepare to receive the ball -- that is, stand in front of the plate and maybe only partially block it with one leg until they have the ball.
Some say when a sliver of the plate is available, the runner should be mandated to slide.
But these plays develop in a split-second, things still change in that split-second (positioning, arms and legs moving, the location of the baseball).
As for the Wilson-Teixeira play, it turned out Wilson didn't even have possession of the baseball. Neither he nor Teixeira knew that until after the collision -- and Wilson had suffered a concussion and a left ankle sprain.
Losing Posey is bad for the game on so many levels. It probably destroys the Giants' chances to repeat as champions. It's the second consecutive season a sensational young player with a skyrocketing "Q" rating has gone down -- last year, Washington pitcher Stephen Strasberg blew out his elbow.
But it is a tough game, and things happen. Pittsburgh lost catcher Ryan Doumit to an ankle injury in the second inning Sunday -- and the Cubs' Carlos Pena didn't' bowl him over. Pena simply slid hard into home.
"This isn't a family reunion softball game," said Yankees manager Joe Girardi, a former catcher himself, after last year's Teixeira play.
It's not always pretty. But it's the game.
2. Alive in Arizona: Look at who's in first place in the NL West. Lots of reasons the Diamondbacks -- who have won 14 of 16 -- are there, but none so important as the dramatic bullpen turnaround. Last year's unit was historically bad, one of the worst in the past 50 years. This year's pen has held opponents scoreless in 18 of 27 games in May. Hello, J.J. Putz and Co.
3. Don't look Ethel, we've been mooned! Streaking in Seattle took on a new meaning Saturday night, but what it's mostly meant for the Mariners is good things: Even after dropping the series finale to the Yankees, Seattle has won 10 of its past 13 games and, behind Felix Hernandez (no, other 29 clubs, you can't have him), rookie Michael Pineda and revitalized Erik Bedard, the M's are 18-11 over their past 29.
4. Jose Bautista rocks: Toronto's slugger now has 80 homers since Sept. 26, 2009, according to STATS LLC -- and no other player has more than 50 in that span (Miguel Cabrera, Albert Pujols and Teixeira are at 50).
5. Miller Time: Milwaukee finished an 8-1 home stand on Sunday and has won 13 of their past 15 games at Miller Park.
6. Big Papi in a pinch: You've seen David Ortiz homer many times before for the red-hot Red Sox (winners of 13 of 15 heading into Sunday's nightcap), but what was different about Sunday's game one winner in Detroit? It was Papi's first pinch-hit homer in eight years, since April, 2003.
7. Cincinnati's marathon men: The Reds played 19 innings Wednesday in Philadelphia and 12 Saturday in Atlanta in the midst of an exhausting stretch in which they're playing 20 games in 20 days and 33 in 34 days and it's tiring just to contemplate all that and zzzzzz. ...
8. Pirates own Cubs: Even after losing Sunday, the Pirates are 17-6 agaisnt the Cubs since Sept. 30, 2009 and have outscored the Cubs 107-76.
9. John Danks at 0-8: Whoa, whoa, whoa: What do you mean you can spell "John Danks" without an L?
10. Dodgers' owner Frank McCourt says he'll meet May 31 payroll: But he tells players not to blow their paychecks on beer and Cheez-Its because it might be their last.

Thanks Jeff! That's a lot of great information. At this point, I'm debating between jumping into a boat in the $2-3k price range, or saving up more money (perhaps $5-10K) for something a bit newer/bigger/better conditioned.
However, out of all the boats under $3k I've seen in my location, the Coronado 25 appears to be the best. Granted, I don't know sailboat brands (stigmas, reputations, etc.) like I do with powerboats, but it certainly shows well. I've also looked at a similarly priced Grampian 26, but it is in much rougher shape.
I'm really just looking for a starter boat that will get my family and I out learniing to sail and cruising a bit on the weekends while we dream about more southerly cruise plans for the future.

5 Uses for Stacking Chairs
When you want seating that's both compact and functional, stacking chairs are a good solution. Stackable chairs don't have moving joints, making them extra sturdy. You can unstack them quickly for an outdoor party or for entertaining guests and then stack them up and tuck them away in a garage or corner of the home just as quickly. Whether you're looking for a set of durable patio chairs for the summer or comely chairs to use in the living room year-round, stackable chairs may be what you're looking for. Keep reading to find out about five different uses for stacking chairs that you could implement around your home.
How to Transform Your Dining Room with Slipcovers
The goal when creating a livable dining room in your home is to find balance. You want a place suitable for elegant dinner parties as well as casual family meals. The main pieces of furniture in any dining room are the table and chairs. Whether you've chosen a sleek banquet table or a charming round one, the chairs you place around it can be a comfortable style statement. This guide explains why you may want to ditch your standard wooden chairs for chairs covered with durable slipcovers that add color and warmth to your family dining room.
How to Artfully Stack Gold Rings
If you're looking to make a style statement, try wearing gold stackable rings. Stacking rings is more than just piling on every ring you own; you'll want to approach it with a bit of style. With a variety of gold rings in your jewelry box and these tips, you can easily stack your rings with artistic flair.
5 Great Bracelets for Stacking
Layering jewelry is a major trend, but it can be a difficult technique to master. To ease into it, try stacking bracelets. Bracelets are easily stacked to create a different look every time. Almost any bracelet style can be layered and stacked, but some cuffs, bangles, chains, and braids are easier to wear in this style. Consider one of these top five stackable bracelets if you're ready to try this fun and fashionable trend.
How to Pick a Mat to Use Under an Office Chair
Carpeted floors usually provide too much resistance for office chairs with rollers to work well. In addition, rolling a chair over carpet will wear down the carpet fibers over time. Mats designed for these areas are a practical solution to both issues. Mats can also protect harder, uncarpeted floors -- such as vinyl or wood, from wear caused by chair rollers. There are several styles and colors of these mats. When choosing a mat to use under your rolling office chair, it's not always best to choose the first one you see -- some are more suitable for low-pile carpets or wood floors, and some are perfect for use on heavy, thick carpeting.
How to Select Seat Covers for Dining Chairs
If you are updating your dining room and your home decor, dining chair slipcovers are a low-cost solution and offer many options. Before you purchase a new set of chair slipcovers, however, there are a few considerations to keep in mind. Chair style, chair size and fabric requirements all play a part in selecting dining chair slipcovers.
How to Choose Kitchen Seat Covers
Kitchen chair seat covers add comfort and style to any dining set. Whether you have wooden dining chairs that you would like to make a little more comfortable or you are looking to update your decor, kitchen chair seat cushions offer many options. Kitchen chair pads can even protect your dining chairs from scratches, scuffs and stains. When choosing chair pads for your kitchen chairs, you will consider fabric type, color and design, style and price. In addition, not all seat cushions are equal; some are reversible, while others offer additional non-slip security.
How to Choose a Hammock Chair
It's easy to enjoy your backyard in a relaxing hammock chair, also known as a hanging chair. Just like traditional hammocks and swings, a hammock chair cradles and hugs the body when you sit in it. Compared to a hammock, however, a hammock chair requires far less space and, therefore, fits in a larger number of places. They're especially nice to have on front porches or in backyards with lots of trees. These hanging chairs are also comfortable alternatives to solid chairs and can be hung in most of the places that solid chairs are placed. Choosing a hammock chair is pretty straightforward, but it is important to keep a few details in mind so you can choose the perfect hammock chair for your space and style.
Plastic Chairs vs Wood Chairs
Whether you're looking for dining chairs, kids' chairs, bar stools, lawn furniture or office chairs, both plastic and wood designs are available. Are you looking for bright colors, smooth curves or ornate styles? Each material has its benefits, so you can select the chairs that are the perfect furniture for your home.
Top 5 Cheap Dining Room Chair Styles
Inexpensive dining chairs can gracefully complement any style of dining room table. Choosing the right style of dining chair is the key to making a room flow without draining your wallet. Think of chair styles commonly used outside the dining room for an array of new dining room chair options. Learn about the top five cheap dining room chair styles by looking at the following article.
Popular Trends in High Chairs
Once your baby starts eating solid foods, high chairs become one of the most important pieces of baby gear in your home. Having your baby sit up in high chairs to eat solid foods is easier for parent and baby, and can even reduce the risk of choking. Once you've decided to buy a high chair, you need to decide on the style of high chair to buy. With a large variety of baby high chairs on the market, from infant high chairs to booster seats, you'll want to find a chair that suits your kitchen and eating habits and that complements your sense of style.

The following tips can help you compare wooden high chairs and plastic high chairs and help you decide which style works best for you.
How to Adjust the Height of an Office Chair
There are different styles and designs of computer or office chairs. Most new models are adjusted pneumatically. Pneumatic office chairs have a lever or a button below the seat that you can push or pull to adjust the height. Older computer chair models can be adjusted by turning a thick bolt (these bolts usually have a thick plastic molded cover with finger grips). Adjusting the height of your office chair to fit your body type is very important. Back ache and pinched nerves can occur otherwise -- especially after long periods of sitting.
Leather Chair Care
It's no surprise that leather chairs reside at the center of home style and fashion. These beautiful chairs are comfortable and look fabulous in any home.

Performing necessary leather chair care should be done on a regular basis. If you care for your leather furniture, it will reward you with many years of quality service.

Adding layers and textiles also softens the prevalence of cold, sleek, and glossy surfaces. Here's how to style your towels and put them on display.
How to Decorate Chairs at Weddings
When planning the decorations for a wedding, there are many things to consider. The big projects, like choosing a venue, selecting centerpieces and designing the cake, often overshadow smaller details. It is important to remember, however, that basic things like decorating the chairs can really make the reception style come together. Because it can be so simple to decorate chairs at weddings, it is important not to overlook this process. With some basic experience with crafts and a bit of creativity, you can add a touch of professionalism to your reception by dressing up your chairs in style.

Brett Lawrie Helps World Win Futures Game
July 12, 2009 - Midwest League (MWL) Wisconsin Timber RattlersThe game, which had a rain delay of over four hours, was shortened to seven innings from a scheduled nine.
The top of the first inning featured action for three players with ties to the Timber Rattlers. Chris Tillman, a pitcher for the Timber Rattlers in 2007, was the starting pitcher for the team of United States prospects. After a leadoff single and a grounder, Tillman faced Italian third baseman Alex Liddi. Tillman and Liddi were teammates on the 2007 squad.
Liddi, who also played for the Timber Rattlers in the 2006 and 2008 seasons, drew a walk in the first inning and would eventually score in the frame. Lawrie would ground out for the final out of the top of the first inning at 1:22pm local time. Then, the rain hit St. Louis and the game did not restart until 5:30pm.
When the game resumed, Tillman had left the game after allowing two runs on two hits with a walk over an inning.
Liddi would walk again in the third inning before flying out to right to end the top of the fifth inning. He was 0-for-1 with a run in the game.
Lawrie flew out to left in the fourth inning, but his final at bat sparked the rally. The first round pick of the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2008 Major League Draft doubled to left against former Cedar Rapids Kernels pitcher Trevor Reckling. Lawrie moved to third on an infield single and scored on a wild pitch by Reckling.
The World team would score three more times in the top of the seventh to take the lead. JC Sulbaran, a pitcher for the Dayton Dragons, worked around two walks in the bottom of the seventh for the win.

Overview of IBM SaaS offerings |
Hadoop - Big Data Analytics Software as a Service
IBM InfoSphere BigInsights on the IBM SmartCloud Enterprise makes big
data analytics accessible for any user inside an organization. Like the
on-premise version, BigInsights on the cloud analyzes traditional
structured data found in databases along with unstructured data -- such
as text, video, audio, images, social media, click streams, log files,
weather data. Bringing
big data analytics to the cloud means clients can capture and analyze
any data without the need for Hadoop skills, or having to install, run,
or maintain hardware and software.
BigInsights on the cloud is available in both basic and enterprise editions with the options of public, private and hybrid cloud deployments. The basic edition is an entry-level offering available at no-charge that helps organizations learn how to do big data analytics including "what-if" scenarios with its BigSheets component. Clients can move to the enterprise edition when ready and set up Hadoop clusters in under 30 minutes to start analyzing data with low usage rates starting at $0.60 (US) per cluster, per hour. Both versions include a developer sandbox where clients can develop business analytics applications complete with tools and a test and development environment. IBM recently acquired Hadoop specialists Platform Computing. Get the free software download for the iPad at Apple's iTunes Store: http://bit.ly/r68A04 (This is a download of Cognos Mobile) Follow IBM and Analytics on twitter #baforum You can also get the free Hadoop download to install on your own system here: http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/infosphere/biginsights/basic.html HOW to do Hadoop is here: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/cloud/library/cl-cloudhadoop/ (you will see a free course on Hadoop mentioned which is not bad - but then I've only just started it) |
Digital Marketing Optimization Software as a Service I am not sure about how IBM names things sometimes - we can be too literal. Does the word "Digital" really add more information to this suite of products? The customer profile part (LIVEProfile) captures all of the interactions of customers and prospects as they interact with a business online, across multiple ad networks or via email, video, affiliate sites and social media. It then integrates this data with offline information, providing a view of each visitor's behavior over time and across channels. This historical data is available across the entire suite of products. As the profile of each visitor grows, the insights become stronger, enabling you to continually optimize your marketing efforts. The web analytic capabilities of the provide marketers with insights for increasing ROI. Analytics provides insight into how individuals are interacting with a brand's digital presence. The latest Forrester report has IBM rated as the best Analytics product out there: http://www.forrester.com/rb/go?docid=59453&oid=1-J1TTAS&action=5 The marketing execution component integrates the data and insights garnered from customer profiles and web analytics into applications designed to easily execute display advertising, search campaigns, email and personalized recommendations through online, social and mobile channels. |
Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) Software as a ServiceThis is the third in a series on IBM SaaS offerings. A Cloud-based Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) offering that simplifies the "quote-to-cash" process. Sterling Configure,
Price, Quote automates one of the most challenging selling processes—the configuration of complex products,
services, and bundles.
CPQ manages service configuration and pricing rules, and guides your
prospects, customers, partners, sales, and call center representatives
in selecting and validating products and services based on specific
Here is more on CPQ and why it is important: http://www.sterlingcommerce.com/products/multi-channel-selling/configure-price-quote/ and the CLOUD part of this is here: http://www.sterlingcommerce.com/products/As-a-Service+Offerings.htmYou can buy CPQ in the following ways: 1.On Premise (this is the "traditional" model)- support is based on standard software maintenance model 2. Perpetual license and host in IBM - support is based on standard software maintenance model 3.Single Tenant - CPQ service - term license which includes license + hosting (includes all costs except implementation costs) at a yearly cost (minimum 3 years) - support from IBM services as a bundled subscription along with extra options. - customer generally has L1 help desk Here is the SaaS part! 4. Multi tenant solution - This is less customizable, with a finite set of configurations, a subset of APIs, and is also a term license (includes all costs except implementation costs) like option 3 above. - support from IBM services as a bundled subscription along with extra options. Less flexibility than option 3 above as it is a much more uniform model than (3).- anyone can call for support (this is a big change, IMO, and it should be interesting to see how it works out). Pricing model: Multi tenant (MT) US Pricing: Based on number of users. 100 users is the minimum. or Based on quote lines (minimum 1M quote lines) roughly equivalent to above 100 users cost. - there is a (lower) access fee for configuration users before they go live into production at which point quote line costs are added. |
IBM Sterling Managed File Transfer Software as a Service
Offering Name:Sterling Managed File Transfer
Overview: Web Site: Pricing Model: I know that FTP does not sound so exciting, but just ask yourself how much uncontrolled or unmanaged FTP is happening in your organization. How do you answer the questions about whether a file arrived or not? How often are files resent or restarted? Who manages that overnight file transfer from multiple locations? |
IBM Software as a Service Offerings - LotusLive I am working on trying to get a list of all these offerings, a brief overview of what they do, and some idea on how they are priced. For example: Offering Name: LotusLive Overview: LotusLive is a series of online office tools from IBM in a security rich environment. Tools include e-mail, networking and collaboration tools and online meetings. Web Site: https://www.lotuslive.com/en/about Pricing Model: Sign up for all or parts of the suite. Per user per month. Important comments: LotusLive is not available in all geographies. For us in Canada it is available but the data center (sorry - "centre") where it is located is in the US, which for some organizations (organisations?) is a big issue. However, even in this situation, there are parts of LotusLive where I think the location of the data centre is just not that much of an issue for any organization. Web Conferencing is one example. I'll add some more in the next little while. Let me know if this is useful.

Until recently, humans have relied on each other to distribute and share memory, in a world where the human brain was the pinnacle of data storage. But the Internet has radically and rapidly changed our relationship with this transactive memory system. In the December issue of Scientific American, Daniel M. Wegner and Adrian F. Ward explore the phenomenon in "How Google is Changing Your Brain."
"Human! We used to be exactly like them. Flawed. Weak. Organic. But we evolved to include the synthetic. Now we use both to attain perfection. Your goal should be the same as ours."
–Borg Queen, Star Trek: First Contact
For those of us who recall the shadowy time before the rise of the Internet and Google, if you had a question, you were promptly sent to the dictionary, encyclopedia, or library (up hill, in the snow, both ways) to try to find the answer. Today, a question barely has time to cross our minds before we are tapping away on our phones or computers to Google the answer. When a proper noun becomes a verb, you know something big has happened.
Almost Human, FOX's new sci-fi crime drama may have arrived a few weeks late, but it seems to be worth the wait. Not surprising since the show comes from an impressive pedigree—creator/executive producer J.H. Wyman (Fringe) and Emmy award winning (and general life-winning) executive producer J.J. Abrams (All The Franchises).
Almost Human is set in L.A. 2048, which looks similar to L.A., 2019 (and, to be fair, similar to a lot of future L.A.s). The rapid advancement of technology has resulted in a 400% increase in crime. To fight the rising tide of violence, advanced combat-ready androids are issued as partners to every officer in the police department (with, as we'll see, varying degrees of success).
Dear Mr. Watterson, a new documentary by Joel Schroeder, attempts to capture the enduring appeal of Calvin and Hobbes. For a comic that began in 1985 and ended a decade later at the peak of its popularity, Calvin and Hobbes' mixture of wry observation and mischievous childhood imagination continues to draw new fans and entertain the old, even 18 years later. Dear Mr. Watterson will probably not enjoy that kind of longevity—fans of Calvin and Hobbes won't find anything new here, but it is a safe place to geek-out and reminisce.
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, ABC's new Once Upon a Time spinoff (and nominee for clunkiest show name ever since Wednesday 9:30 (8:30 Central) debuted/tanked) hopes to recreate some of the magic—and ratings—of the original. I have only seen a handful of Once Upon a Time episodes, making me just barely familiar with the residents of Storybrooke and the devices regularly employed by the show. So, for newbies like me, Wonderland is not only a chance for ABC to hook viewers with a new fantasy show, but it's also an opportunity for them to talk us into giving OUAT one more try. While Wonderland has some strengths, the premiere didn't make a terribly strong case for itself either as a stand-alone or as OUAT bait.
If you are familiar with The Vampire Diaries, then you know the "Original" vampires (and hybrid!) are generally a whiny, entitled lot, with a proclivity for treachery, dagger play, and excruciating lectures about the importance of family, particularly the originals we've seen in action most: Elijah, Rebekah, and Niklaus. Though they've not been my favorite group of TVD's villains-turned-allies, I felt compelled to check out their eponymous new digs.
In any spin-off media—be it book, film, or television—the challenge is to provide newcomers with enough background info to jump in, without alienating the core fan base you hope to attract from the original outlet—all this, while hopefully telling a compelling story that will hook both groups. Unfortunately, I don't feel like The Originals accomplished this with their premiere, but first a recap.
You can't talk about banned books without talking about Ray Bradbury. Not so much because any one of his more than 500 published works have been banned or challenged more vehemently than other frequently challenged books, but because he wrote so passionately and urgently about societies without books, without intellectual freedom, and the dire consequences they faced as a result. But, believe it or not, Bradbury's greatest fear regarding censorship, wasn't crushing government laws or sweeping totalitarian regimes, it was you.
To GM or not to GM? The genetically modified (GM) argument has been raging for decades, though recently it has gained more mainstream attention as advances in science and the increased clout of biotechnology corporations such as Monsanto and BASF make more bioengineered foods a reality. In the September issue of Scientific American, David H. Freedman, author of Wrong, takes a look at both sides of the GM debate.
Almost a century of research has established that sleep aids in the formation of memory. The question that scientists are now examining is how sleep accomplishes this. When you're sleeping, the neurons in your brain fire almost as much as they do when you're awake. For many years, it was thought that this sleeping brain activity helped learning by strengthening the connections between neurons. However, the role sleep plays in memory may be different than previously thought. Psychiatrists Guilin Tononi and Chiara Cirelli offer a somewhat controversial new theory in the August issue of Scientific American, called synaptic homeostasis hypothesis (SHY). SHY states that sleep aids memory not by strengthening the connections between neurons, but rather by weakening them. With twenty years of research to back them up, it's a theory that's rapidly gaining attention.
Summer reading lists—as a kid, these curriculum-imposed killjoys lurked in the corner of your vacation, never quite letting you forget just how close September really was. I realize now, that those reading requirements often exposed me to authors and books that I might not have explored if left to my own devices. Books that would become lifetime favorites, or motivate me to branch out of my reading comfort zone.
In that same spirit of discovery, we asked some of the creative minds behind Pixar's latest short, The Blue Umbrella, to tell us about the books that inspired them and the film. From Russian lit to technical journals, you might be surprised by their selections, and maybe even discover some books to add to your personal summer reading list.
As children, the world around us is very clear on one thing: animals have feelings much like our own. Nearly every children's book, film, cartoon or toy that features animals—features anthropomorphized animals—who love, laugh, cry, sing, have epic adventures on their tiny toy motorcycles, and so on. Bambi is devastated after hunters kill his mother. When Dumbo's mom is unfairly incarcerated, we are treated to a punch-in-the-heart montage of their love and loss.
At some point—I suppose around the same time we are handed a scalpel and a formaldehyde-soaked fetal pig—the message changes. We go from freely ascribing human feelings to animals, to stripping them entirely of sentiment. We're told that to be properly scientific (and adult), one needs to believe that animals don't experience emotions or have feelings. But renewed scientific interest in animal emotion may be changing that ideology.
Twelve years after the award-winning Monsters, Inc. hit theaters, Pixar returns to the candy colored kaleidoscope of the Monster universe with the highly-anticipated prequel: Monsters University. Like any reunion, Monsters University is teeming with old friends, inside jokes, and (sometimes) too-high expectations.
A year ago today, we lost one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, Ray Bradbury. Bradbury inspired generations of creators, including Stephen Spielberg, NASA scientists, and of course writers like Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, Kelly Link and Harlan Ellison. What better way to celebrate his life and memory today, than to let his writing inspire you?
Like the best kids' books, the best kids' movies work on multiple levels, and Monsters, Inc., Pixar's fourth feature-length film, is no exception.

The eponymous competition at the heart of The Hunger Games is a brutal event, which means death for all but one of the competitors. At first glance, it seems nearly impossible that the gruesome premise behind these fictional games could ever become reality. But can we really be so sure?

Another future SA batting gun? Could he replace Smith as the next longterm test opener/captain?

Actually it's quite easy to do because they give their three-day glorified park cricket First Class status for historical reasons.
He's played two proper franchise games in First Class cricket for 41 runs @ 14.
Not saying he isn't promising - everything I've heard about it does indeed suggest he's a bit of a prodigy/gun - but lets not pretend he's been killing it a high standard First Class because he hasn't. Yet.
I'll also add that he's a wicket keeper; something yet to be mentioned. More likely to be Boucher's long-term replacement than Smith's.

Rejecting 'analysis by checklist' and 'skill absolutism' since Dec '09
Isnt Heino Kuhn supposed to be the keeping successor to Boucher?
Get well soon Yuvi!!
there is no successor. hence why boucher still has his spot
Brad McNamara @bbuzzmc
Will say this once and then nothing else. Defamation laws quite clear in Aus.be careful.
^^ Ya but its time to start giving chances to youngsters. Boucher's batting has been scratchy off late and he dropped some easy chances too
His name is too good not to make it.
I've always liked de Kock, you know. Of course, de Kock will have to be handled pretty well in order to get up there.
No one ever talks about 'the weak, silent type'. When's their moment?
He appears to be the standout in Under 19 cricket atm.
Dominated England and made two tons in the Pak/Zim tri-series, including 146 in the final.
Stiff not to be replacing Boucher, obviously considered not quite up to it yet.

Quasi-Talbot effect of the high-density grating in near field
JOSA A, Vol. 25, Issue 12, pp. 2945-2951 (2008)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (648 KB)
On the basis of the finite-difference time-domain technique, the diffraction of the high-density grating in the near field is developed, and the gray-scale pattern of the diffraction intensity distribution of a one-dimensional grating is presented. A detailed analysis shows that the near-field diffraction of the grating is the result of the diffraction of a single slit, the interference of two evanescent waves from neighboring slits, and the interference of the homogeneous waves from the slits. Through many numerical calculations, the condition for obtaining the quasi-Talbot imaging of the grating in the near field is explored, i.e., the period of the grating d is larger than the incident wavelength λ but smaller than

Some Facebook business pages simply 'shoot from the hip' with their status updates, in hopes that it will catch the attention of their fans. The secret to having an effective Facebook business page, is to have a strategy. This is where a monthly content calendar comes in handy.
Facebook is a social network, and your page needs to have consistent social interaction in order to be successful. Posting consistently, with fresh content, will engage fans and attract new fans to your page. To help you manage this stream of information, take time at the beginning of each month to create a content calendar that records every new post for the month. Sure, there may be days where you will want to veer from the strategy, but having a guide will enable you to easily manage your page and maintain fan interest.
1. Set-up a Calendar. You can use whichever program you feel most comfortable using, I prefer to use Microsoft Word which offers some nice calendar templates for this.
2. Post Frequency. Decide how many times a week/day you will post.
3. Theme/Category. Decide on a theme or category for each day you are posting. It can be easier to formulate post content when you have a consistent theme for each day, for example, maybe on Monday you will post your weekly specials, Tuesday you will post an insider look at the company through a photo or video, Wednesday you will post a relevant article, or Thursday you will engage your fans with a poll.
4. Write Your Posts. Formulate all of your posts for the month, or at least as many as you can in advance, with the post text, any link that will be incorporated, or media content such as video or photos.
Here's some content ideas to get you started:
- Photos/Videos
- Create a Facebook event
- Offer a Facebook Fan special
- Link to relevant articles, blogs, or press about your company
- Ask your fans questions using the 'Questions' App
Content Calendar Tips:
- Try to keep posts short. Facebook allows you to have 420 characters per post, but try not to always max this out, keep it to the point.
- Post relevant content. Don't post for the sake of posting an update.
- Give Fans an Insider Look. Facebook Fans want more than to just know what sale you're having, or any promotion you are preparing to push. They want to feel like they have insider access that they wouldn't have if they weren't a fan. Keep this in mind when formulating content, discounts, etc.
- Posting Amount. You can post 5 times a day or once a day, it all depends on how much relevant content you have and how your audience reacts to these posts. If you're posting twice a day and not receiving very much feedback, it might be time to trim back the postings and maybe re-evaluate your content.
- Track Your Results. Keep an eye on the history of your posts feedback via "likes" and "comments", this will enable you to see which content is best received and which should be eliminated for the next month. Evaluate your posts at the end of each month.
- If you want to fully map out your monthly strategy, try using one of these tools to schedule your posts in advance at a specific date and time: HootSuite, Sendible, or TweetDeck
- Facebook offers a free PDF with content calendar help and examples.

Christmas is approaching, and I wanted to buy a 512 stick of ram to max out my iMac with 1gb. First, how many slots are there? I have two 256 sticks in there right now, is there a third slot for a 512? Also, would it be better to put the 512 stick in the 1st slot ( which i think is the main slot) and move the 256 stick to the third slot ( if there even is a third slot) Is it okay and fairly save to move factory installed ram? I am buying this ram from apple.com. I know there are cheaper ones, but I want what apple approves of and I know will work fine with my mac and not have any problems. One more question, I looked in the booklet that came with my iMac where it shows how to install ram and it looks fairly simple, but I've also heard tragic stories of computers getting really messed up by home installs. If i took my computer and ram to my local apple store would they install if for me, and if so, for how much?
Thanks, Jon |

Velomedix, Inc., a venture-backed medical device company advancing the field of therapeutic hypothermia, announced it has received Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to expand the design of its VELOCITY pilot clinical trial. This North American trial will evaluate the use of rapid therapeutic hypothermia in the treatment of patients suffering an acute myocardial infarction (AMI or heart attack). Positive discussions with the FDA resulted in approval to include a control arm for a randomized comparison, thus doubling the number of patients, and to increase the number of U.S. trial sites.
Mild therapeutic hypothermia has been shown to substantially improve outcomes for acute events, such as heart attack and cardiac arrest*. While several technologies are currently being used clinically for hypothermia management, Velomedix's proprietary technology delivers unparalleled cooling speed, as demonstrated in previous clinical trials*. This form of rapid cooling may enhance clinical outcomes and enable widespread clinical adoption of this promising therapy. "More rapid cooling may be critical to reduce infarct size in patients with heart attacks undergoing angioplasty," commented Gregg Stone, MD, Columbia University Medical Center / New York-Presbyterian Hospital and co-principal investigator of the VELOCITY trial.
The VELOCITY trial is a 60-patient randomized trial at up to nine U.S. investigational sites to evaluate the Velomedix Automated Peritoneal Lavage System in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, presenting within six hours of symptom onset. The study will investigate the safety and feasibility of augmenting today's standard of care (primary PCI) with mild therapeutic hypothermia delivered by the Velomedix system. "We are very excited that collaboration with the FDA resulted in a randomized trial which will likely provide much more clinically useful information than a comparison to historical control," said Jeff Gold, President and CEO of Velomedix.
The study's primary endpoint is a composite of specific new-onset, serious adverse events during the first thirty days following treatment. Several secondary endpoints will also be collected, including infarct size, myocardial salvage, and left ventricular ejection fraction. Thus, while primarily a safety trial, it will also gather meaningful efficacy information.

Bike Cop(s) ALWAYS hiding Northbound under 7th Street Bridge- far right lane, right of transition 2-lane road before 6th Street Offramp. Can usually see them on right👉 after passing divider wall! 👎
From downtown, I find 3rd Street exit ramp is the easiest to access 110 N or S.
The 110 S to the vincent thomas bridge is the fastest way to get to long beach from torrance
Get a friend to ride with you to get the privilege of carpool lane and save time!
Avoid this freeway unless you're in an ambulance or need a blood transfusion and this is the only route!
I'm glad the only time I'm on this freeway is when I'm l drunk and I have a driver.
Beer me? I'm kidding but don't think it hasn't crossed my mind...it would answer the question, do they serve beer in hell

Between downtown LA and the 105 is one o the worst sections of freeway in the Southland for motorcycles. Horrible bumps.
