The coolest place on the internet, according to this tagline.Ask • Archive • FAQ
According to the Wall Street Journal, Scott Tucker has a really impressive story. Tucker, a late-blooming race star who scored a third-place finish at the Rolex 24 at Daytona endurance race earlier this year, only picked up auto racing about five years ago, and he's earned such fame that he had a documentary about his life air on the Discovery Channel. But here's the part this storyline doesn't tell us — how he got here. Sure, the WSJ's story calls him a "private investor," but the Center for Public Integrity notes he earned his significant fortune — enough to start up his own auto-racing team — by running a payday lending company. This company uses partnerships with Native American tribes as a front to get around laws designed to protect consumers — allowing his company to do incredibly sketchy things, such as hiding its address and shielding itself from lawsuits using shell companies. Somehow, this is legal. And Tucker won't be talking about it himself. "Due to a confidentiality agreement, I am not permitted to discuss the business of my employer," he said about his businesses. Read the report at the source link — the first part in a series. source

Tag your tots: RFID chips for preschoolers
Posted: 09/01/10 01:42 PM
By Steve Henn
So what do you do if you are a hard working school superintendent whose school system's so strapped for cash that you don't have enough teachers or aids to keep track of your pre-k kids, or make sure they actually eat lunch?
Seattle Municipal Archives
Well, according to the AP, Contra Costa County in California used a $50,000 federal grant to buy jerseys with RFID tags to help keep tabs on their tots. School officials say the system will save the district thousands of hours of staff time and could pay for itself in less than a year.
But if you can't keep track of your kids, can you really expect to teach them to read?
today's show
What will we do with all this "white space"?
There's a vote coming up this week in Washington that will have a big impact on how you use the internet, what's available to you, how much faster you'll be able to get things online. On Thursday, the FCC is expected to open up unused parts of the broadcast spectrum, a lot of people call it "white space". This is space that was positioned to be something of a buffer between television stations but such padding is proving less essential since the conversion to digital TV.
On today's show, we talk to Glenn Fleishman from Wi-Fi Networking News and The Economist about how the spectrum works and what kind of new space we're talking about. We also check in with Tim Wu from Columbia Law School about the companies that will look to use the space and what it all might mean for you and me as internet consumers.

The National Weather System's radar in Floyd, County was down at the height of storms this week.
Peter Corrigan, a National Weather Service Meteorologists in Blacksburg, shows us all five of the radars giving him information from places like D.C. and Charleston. Usually, he just has to look at one to get information.
"Radar is critical to estimating rainfall which goes into flooding," meteorologists Peter Corrigan says. "if we didn't have a good estimate on how much rain is falling, it starts to handicap us."
The meteorologists here went more than two days flying blind with a broken radar.
Many of them say they've never gone this long without the radar working.
It even made them miss alerting people to straight line winds headed for Bedford and Franklin County.
Corrigan says this is some of the worst flooding ever recorded in the month of July.
The meteorologists say they are records show this is the 10th highest crest for the Roanoke River.
"This wasn't trivial to lose the radar," Corrigan says. "We were able to function, but it was at a slightly degraded ability to look at the storms."
While. monitoring the storm in our own newsroom became increasingly difficult without this information.
Our WSLS 10 meteorologist Patrick McKee says in times like this, our viewers can really play a big part in forecasting the weather.
"When the radar is down we rely on people from across the area to fill in the gaps so we learn a little more about what's happening since we can't see it as well,"Mckee says.
The radar started working again 6 p.m. Friday night.

Labor Day Holiday Deaths Down Half from Last Year
Frankfort, KY - Preliminary statistics* show that seven people died in seven separate crashes on Kentucky's roadways this Labor Day holiday. The number of fatalities decreased drastically from the 2001 holiday period during which twelve (12) people died in eleven (11) crashes.
Of the seven fatal Labor Day holiday crashes, preliminary data indicates alcohol was a suspected factor in four of the crashes. Regarding safety equipment, six victims were unrestrained and one victim was wearing a helmet.
Single fatality crashes occurred in Casey, Clark, Elliott, Knox, Lincoln, Trimble and Whitley counties. One of the crashes involved a motorcycle. (News reports of fatalities in Greenup and Carter counties are not accurate. No fatalities occurred in those two counties over the holiday period.)
The Kentucky State Police once again participated in Operation CARE (Combined Accident Reduction Effort), a federal program that emphasizes high visibility patrol on interstates and parkways. As a result, no fatalities were reported on these very heavily traveled roadways.
"You Drink and Drive. You Lose" was also successful culminating in state police arrests of more than 200 individuals for driving under the influence.
The official Labor Day holiday period ran from 6 p.m. Friday, August 30, 2002 through 11:59 p.m. Monday, September 2, 2002. All statistics are from that time period.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas.

The Agency Now Due in Second Half of 2011While Sony Online Entertainment's The Agency was once slated to launch in 2010, the developer's relative silence on the espionage-y shooter MMO over the year has made it increasingly clear that it wouldn't meet that. Now, we have a better idea of when it's due.
Speaking to Kotaku, SOE president John Smedley revealed that The Agency is still in development and now scheduled to launch some time in the second half of 2011.
"There was a moment in time in our company where we looked at our own stuff with a clear eye and saw we have to do better," Smedley said. "DC Universe was held for a year-and-a-half from when we wanted to launch it and now I'm very happy with it."
Announced back in 2007, The Agency is in development for PC and PlayStation 3.

Thomas Mulcair—Israel, Right or Wrong
"I am an ardent supporter of Israel in all situations and in all circumstances." ["…je suis un ardent supporter de toutes les instances et de toutes les circonstances d'Israël."]*
~Thomas Mulcair, quoted in Canadian Jewish News, May 1st, 2008
Independent Jewish Voices promotes the application of international law and respect for human rights as the basis for the resolution of the ongoing conflict in Israel/Palestine. While IJV is politically non-partisan, we seek to ensure that our analysis is shared with those who are in a position to influence Canadian public policy. To that end, we are expressing our perspective on the positions taken by one of the candidates for leader of the federal New Democratic Party with respect to this conflict.
Thomas Mulcair is well known in Quebec. But except for readers of pro-Israel newspapers like the Canadian Jewish News and the Jewish Tribune, people in Quebec and English Canada are not familiar with his unquestioning support for Israel.
It is Mulcair's single-minded support of Israel that has been a major factor behind the NDP's equivocation when it comes to supporting Palestinian human rights and applying international law to the Israel/Palestine conflict. Since his bye-election victory in 2007 in Outremont and his subsequent appointment as deputy NDP leader, he has used his influence in the NDP caucus to stymie Members of Parliament who wanted to support initiatives like the 2006 NDP Policy Resolution on Israel/Palestine, which spoke out against Israeli injustices.
In 2008 Mulcair led a caucus revolt against Jack Layton when Layton criticized the Harper government's decision not to participate in the United Nations Conference on Racism. Mulcair agreed with the Conservatives' declaration, echoing Israeli government statements, that the conference was "anti-semitic" because of it made mention of certain Israeli injustices.
Mulcair was later successful in muting NDP criticism of the January 2009 Israeli bombardment of Gaza, which killed 1400 civilians, as well as the subsequent Israeli attack on the Gaza Flotilla, which killed 9.
In 2010, Mulcair took the extraordinary step of publicly criticizing Libby Davies, the BC MP who is the conscience of the federal NDP caucus on Palestinian rights, and joined with Stephen Harper and Bob Rae of the Liberals in calling for her resignation as NDP House Leader when she commented in response to a reporter's question that the occupation of Palestine had begun in 1948.
In November 2010 Mulcair, together with Conservative Jason Kenney and Liberal Michael Ignatieff, condemned Israeli Apartheid Week activities organized on university campuses across Canada as "anti-semitic". These politicians' characterization of this widely supported campaign, which is designed to draw attention to ongoing Israeli transgressions against international law and human rights, fits right in with a range of attacks on freedom of speech that have been mounted by Israel and its unquestioning supporters.
Independent Jewish Voices believes that at a time when the Conservatives and Liberals are vying to see who can be more pro-Israeli and when Stephen Harper is tarnishing Canada's reputation by defending every Israeli outrage on the international stage, it is vitally important for the NDP to choose a leader who will support peace, international law and human rights in Israel/Palestine. In our view, Thomas Mulcair's kneejerk support for Israel, regardless of how it behaves, demonstrates that he is not such a leader.
Thomas Mulcair's uncritical support for Israel does not reflect the fundamental values of NDP members in Quebec or in English Canada. We are confident that they will send him that message once they become fully aware of his position.

Thank you for this very important information, which I was completely unaware of. Like all right-thinking people, I support Israel's right to exist; however, I am adamantly opposed to any nation that sees its actions as above criticism. History teaches us that such unbridled hubris never ends well.
I am very disappointed to learn of Mulcair's refusal to think critically about Israel, and realize now, despite earlier hopes, that he clearly is not the person to fairly and effectively represent Canadian views and values as the leader of the NDP. Yet in these politically-charged times, I am hard-pressed to think of who might be able to do so.
#1. Posted by Lorne in dundas on December 1st 2011 at 1:29pm
I find Muclair utterly discussting in his unoquical support of Israel and much rather see our Party go down in flames then be led by a pro Zionest pig like him. It's almost as if people like him (Muclair) thinks that these people (Palestinians) were Aliens from Outter Space ! To muzzle the Caucus from speaking out against the attrocities committed against the Palestinian people is all the evidence I need to see to know that this man is a bigot because he puts the value of life of one race of people ahead of that of another. That makes him a Racist ! Plain and simple. Just like Netanyahu and Ehud Barak, These Zionist A-holes have no value on any other Human life except that of the Jews. A lot of Idots out here are going to read what I wrote here and just write of everything wrote to being just anti-semetism, to them I'd like to say that I believe that the two greatest human beings that ever lived are Jesus Christ and Karl Marx, both of whom were Jewish and both of whom were also anti Zionest ! I am not anti Jew, I am anti Zionest because Zionism is Racism and anyone who dosn't think so should get out a dictionary and look up the meaning of the word Racism and figure it out. Under the Laws of the Zionist Jewish State of Israel today, a Jew born outside of Israel has more rights and claims to land in Israel today then a Palestinian or any other Race for that matter born in Israel today. Who in the hell can say that that isn't RACISM ? I find it so hipocritical of Zionist Jews today who give examples of how they were persecuted in Nazi Germany by not being alloted the rights as citizens when at the same time they support that same policy today in the Jewish state of not allowing non Jews to become citizens of Israel. I hope some day that these Zionist's acknowledge these hippocrocies and that they (Zionists) start valuing all human life equally.

WAUWATOSA, WI (WTAQ) - A small power plant that serves Milwaukee's large medical complex will be out of commission for the next few days, due to a fire Sunday morning.
Officials in Wauwatosa said the blaze was confined to a 25-foot deep coal hopper on the sixth floor of the power plant. It took several hours to get the fire under control, and no one was hurt.
We Energies says it's unloading the coal to determine how the blaze started. The unloading process will be finished Monday or Tuesday.
The plant provides electricity and heat to the Medical College of Wisconsin, Froedtert Hospital, and Milwaukee Children's Hospital. Those facilities did not have any outages as a result of the fire.
For now, they're getting their power from elsewhere. Cathy Schulze of We Energies said coal began to smolder in a part of the plant where it shouldn't be burning. It was in a place where coal is stored before it feeds into one of three boilers.

Planning Tools & Data
MDH Strategic Plan to Adapt to Climate Change
The MDH Strategic Plan to Adapt to Climate Change (MDH SPACC) outlines goals and objectives for the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) to adapt and respond to climate change and its impacts on public health. The development of this plan was supported by a grant (Sub-award Agreement 16005/02-MNDOH-2133) from the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO).
MDH Strategic Plan to Adapt to Climate Change (PDF: 186KB/22 pages)
Public Health Data & Resources for Planning
Public health data can include information on incidences of disease, locations of hazards or exposures, and location of populations at-risk, based on functional disabilities or social determinants of health. The following data sources were developed for local public health professionals who are planning for the public health impacts of climate change.
- MDH Data Access Portal
The Minnesota Environmental Public Health Tracking Program gathers and makes accessible data about environmental health hazards, people's exposure to hazards, and health effects. Data include heat-related illnesses and deaths, air quality, asthma and other respiratory hospitalizations, drinking water quality, and heart attacks.
- MDH Center for Health Statistics
The Center for Health Statistics provides useful data resources, such as the Minnesota State, County and CHB Vital Statistics Trends Report 1991-2010 and the Minnesota County-Level Indicators for County Health Assessment.
- MDH Maps and Data for Populations at Risk to Extreme Heat Events
MDH has developed a set of statewide maps of populations vulnerable to extreme heat events by county subdivision (e.g., city, township, or unincorporated territory). These maps and associated Excel data file are intended to provide context for communities and inform planning by local public health and/or other local governmental departments.
- CDC Climate Change – Data Tracking Network
The CDC National Tracking Network provides national and state data on heat-stress hospitalizations and emergency department visits, heat mortality, extreme heat days and more.

Blue Book® Suggested Retail Value
Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
Review: 2007 Nissan Sentra
This 2007 review is representative of model years 2007 to 2012.
By Dan Jedlicka of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
Slicker, more powerful Sentra is more of a rival to top-selling compact cars.
The Nissan Sentra always has been a no-fuss economy car, although a few high performance versions have appealed to auto buffs. Nissan says it hopes the new, sixth-generation Sentra will be an "aspirational" model, not just an "entry level" auto.
The redesigned 2007 Sentra front-wheel-drive compact sedan replaces a model introduced in 2000. That makes the new Sentra long overdue in a very competitive auto market. Being late to the party is rather odd for Nissan because it's aggressive and one of Japan's largest automakers, right up there with Toyota and Honda.
Nissan understandably has concentrated on larger, more profitable new models, besides its sports car. But keeping an old Sentra around too long has given Toyota and Honda more of an open field to attract coveted younger car buyers to their entry-level cars.
Worth the Wait
There are three trim levels: entry 2.0, midrange 2.0S and top-line 2.0SL. Base prices range from $14,750 to $18,400.
Nissan says its new Versa—one of the best new entry Japanese economy cars—let it move the Sentra up in size (which makes sense) and allowed it to make the Sentra more stylish (which makes no sense).
Sleeker and Larger
Besides being roomier, the new interior has a fair number of comfort and convenience features, including air conditioning and power windows and locks. Newly standard are front-seat side airbags and side-curtain airbags.
Extras include leather upholstery, wireless cell-phone link and keyless starting and locking.
The speedometer and tachometer can be quickly read, but the fuel and coolant temperature gauges are an odd yellowish color that makes them seem as if pulled from another car.
Clever Trunk Feature
Cargo volume is up 1.5 cubic feet to 13.1 cubic feet over the 2006 Sentra. Besides routine stuff, items such as snowboards, hockey sticks and bicycles can be hauled.
The large trunk has a wide opening with a lid that moves well up and out of the way on hydraulic struts. But no interior pull-down handle on the lid's inside metal means hands will get dirty on the outside metal—a curious oversight for a car destined to see many shopping centers.
New Engine
The 2.0 and 2.0S trim levels work with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Optional on those versions and standard on the 2.0SL is a newly designed continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Nissan calls its CVT the "Xtronic," which sounds like one of the colorful "space age" names given to new features by American automakers in the 1950s.
Previous Sentras (except for high-performance versions such as the 2006 SE-R Spec V) had a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic, which were OK a few years ago but no longer are competitive.
Acceleration in town is lively, but is average on highways. The dual overhead camshaft 16-valve engine is a sophisticated, high-revving unit. It gets a little noisy during hard acceleration, but loafs at 2000 rpm at 65 mph with the responsive CVT transmission.
Good Fuel Economy
The electric steering results in less engine power loss and is quick, although it feels a little stiff. The ride is supple with new "ripple control" shock absorbers. And the brake pedal has a linear feel. Stopping distances are short during normal driving.
No Sports Sedan
The Sentra has a reputation for being a reliable, long-lived car that costs little to operate, and the latest version should be no different. It's a bonus that it looks and drives better.

In what Duluth Mayor Don Ness called "devastating news for the residents and taxpayers of the city," a three-judge panel of the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion today backing the Fond du Lac Band's request to nullify its Fond du Luth Casino contract with the city, letting the band off the hook for annual payments to the city totaling almost $6 million. The move also means U.S. District Court Judge Susan Nelson will have to revisit her decision that the tribe pay back the city about $12.4 million it had refused to pay between 2009 and 2011. The city plans to appeal to a full panel of Eighth Circuit judges.
Revenue generated by the casino and paid to the city was the primary source for street reconstruction in the city. Ness said the decision is not only devastating for Duluthians, but has the potential to be a precedent for the other 209 such contract agreements nationwide.
The tribe and the city had agreed under contract in 1994 that the city would receive 19 percent of the casino's revenue annually until 2011, with a renegotiated contract to dictate terms from 2012 through 2036. In 2009, the tribe stopped payment, claiming it had been overpaying for years. When the city protested, the tribe went to the National Indian Gaming Commission, which decided the original contract violated federal law.

This week was all about singing competitions — Candice Glover won American Idol while Randy Jackson announced he'll be leaving the show, while Christina Aguilera and Cee-Lo Green announced plans to reclaim their judge's seats on The Voice.
In the world of LP drama, Demi Lovato's new album, Demi, was met with mixed reviews — while Daft Punk mania reached an all-time high as the French house duo released a live stream of Random Access Memories on iTunes. As always, our reliable readers had a lot to say about the latest pop news.
Check out some of this week's best comments below!
:: Keith sounded off on the Candice Glover/Jennifer Hudson Duet: "I did not like the Candice/Jhud duet at all. It was a shouting match."
:: Ross CMR raved about Daft Punk's new album: "No one can really get mad at Daft Punk. in the End eveyone loves their stuff. I agree with Fat Boy slim on this one. Its about time someone opened up the flood gates on the EDM scene. Plus their release of this vinyl gives me even more hope that physical music is not dead."
:: Cindy, on the other hand, completely disagreed: "A big departure from the DP sound even the robot singing sucked. I pre-ordered from Itunes and canceled it too. I still love Daft Punk just not feeling this record. p.s. the drums were annoying…"
:: Many viewers were anxious about Adam Lambert's big performance on AI's finale, including beab: "About time we see Adam perform, to bad he can't do a solo. Remember when he sang the finale with Queen and blew Chris off the map ? Now THAT was when A.I. was at its greatest !!!"
:: Diplo added his two cents into Daft Punk's new album and shut up wes was not feeling it, saying "It's just a smokescreen to cover up the fact that no one gives a flying eff about that new Major Lazer album he just put out. Asshat."
:: Niwimi shared his excitement over Kelly Rowland's "Dirty Laundry": "Where do I Pre-Order!!!!? YES KELLY! Though I Stan for Bey, this is the first time in a while I've fallen in love with a song based off of lyrical content. YAAAAAAAAAASSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!"
:: Jay gave a well-rounded review of Demi Lovato's new record: "This album, much like Unbroken, is very disappointing. She titled her album Demi complete with such a striking image on the cover (much like Christina Aguilera's Stripped did) but it's just another lightweight pop album. People make such a big deal about her, but why? Because she has survived personal demons? While thats commendable, on the music front she's never really been a force to be dealt with. There's not really anything here that really reveals who she is as a person…it sounds like just any other wannabe pop artist only with a decent voice and well-known producers."
:: Finally, drew liked that Danity Kane is reuniting but didn't want Dawn Richard to lose focus: "Cool, but I sincerely hope this doesn't deter Dawn from working on her next album (BlackHeart)…. because she's on a whole other level than these girls."

hello friends..
It has been quite a while since the last time we crawled out of the shadows long enough to share our current endeavors, or lack thereof. We are artists, therefore we are always creating, conceptualizing, and changing our plan, and it becomes a bit redundant to say, "we are working on songs" over and over again. That being said, we ARE working on new songs. Not too many of our initial attempts make it past the chopping block into the entree, but a few bits and pieces have and we are starting to have a bone structure of what might become our next album. I don't want to sound overly dramatic, but if you have ever seen the films that depict an artist ripping up his canvas and shouting "IT'S NOT RIGHT! IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT!" then you have a general idea of what its like working on The Smiles and Frowns recordings. We do appreciate the ever patient listeners, desperate requests for new material, and continuous support. In the last year or so we veered from the path of productivity due to habitat changes, health issues, and general laziness, but is seems that we have found our way back and are again moving forward. cheers!
As a mode of distraction and a recommendation I present to you "Woodpeckers From Space" by Video Kids, off their album "Invasion of the Spacepeckers". This song is what I consider to be the perfect combination of fantasy, silly, sexy, hip, toe tapper, pop brilliance… and it alienates the listener just enough to make it artistic. I discovered it while watching an episode of "Pingu". The episode entitled "Pingu Helps with Incubating". Who knew that Pingu was such a hipster..

For all the talk about imported inflation in the UK as policymakers talk down the pound and financial markets merrily give it a good beating, here's a stark reminder that a lot of British inflation remains home-grown.
British inflation has been so sticky over the past decade that regular Bank of England pronouncements that it will come back down from wherever it is to the 2 percent target at the 2-year horizon has become something of a policy piñata in financial markets. And there is rampant speculation the government will soon modify that inflation target.
But it's no joke to British consumers, whose wages have stagnated for years and with a plunging currency in their pocket that is down more than 8 percent so far this year. They've been much more frugal with their spending, and as a result the economy is on its back.
Alan Clarke, UK economist at Scotiabank, drew up this simple chart, which shows UK consumer price inflation in the communications and transport sector along with the equivalent measure across the English channel in France. The blue line is Britain, the red line is France.
You get the idea: these lines should be roughly similar. It's only a narrow body of water between them. The two countries are so close that Britons living on the seaside in Kent, just 20 miles away from Calais, have been hit by roaming charges while their carrier thought they had skipped off to France.

Lisa Bertrand is an avid cook who's interested to see if the newest kitchen gadget, Better Beater, belongs in her home. It's supposed to mix, whisk and stir better than your classic tools, all with a "press and spin" action, but Does It Work?
First, we crack some eggs to see if Better Beater will fluff them, as promised.
"Whoa. I can't believe how hard it is to use this," said Bertrand.
It really takes a lot of pressing action to get the Better Beater to whisk. We get the hang of it, but then compare it to a regular whisk.
"It's much easier to use a regular whisk, although the Better Beater is fluffing the eggs," said Bertrand.
Next, we try it on brownie mix to see if this will get the lumps out of the batter. Bertrand uses two hands to get the Better Beater to press and spin.
"Whew! What a workout!" exclaimed Bertrand.
Finally, we make a banana, peach, yogurt smoothie in a glass, just like the directions promise we can.
"Well, it is breaking up the chunks of fruit, but I could have had this mixed with a blender a long time ago. So, if you want to do it manually, then this is your tool. You'll get in an extra arm workout," explained Bertrand.
Still, we cannot deny all three of our foods are mixed and Better Beater does work.
"I'd give it a grade 'B.' I wouldn't buy it, but it does do what it claims," said Bertrand.
The Better Beater works, it's just not "better" than your classic cooking utensils. It whips up a solid 'B' on this Does It Work test.

Upcoming Events
December 9, 2013
Join us for our annual membership holiday dinner and program at the Butterworth Center. Dinner will begin at 6:30, followed by a program by Curt Roseman on Wharton Field House & Browning Field. Prepaid reservations ($12.50/person) must be made by Wednesday, December 4 to Chris Van Lancker at 310 15th Street, Moline.
MPS was founded in 1986 by a group working to prevent the demolition of the 1858 Joseph Huntoon House. The Italianate home, which included hand-painted ceilings by Swedish artist Frank Lundahl, was ultimately demolished. Although the house and its history were lost, a strong Moline Preservation Society emerged as a result.
In late 2012, MPS joined other community leaders to raise more than $160,000 to save the last surviving train depot in Moline. Learn more about our efforts at our special website, Save The Moline Depot.

MySQL at Twitter: Storing 250mil Tweets Daily
Todd Hoff took the time to disect and extract in a post the interesting bits from Jeremy Cole's talk[1]Big and Small Data at @Twitter from the O'Reilly MySQL conference:
- MySQL works well enough most of the time that it's worth using. Twitter values stability over features so they've stayed with older releases.
- MySQL doesn't work for ID generation and graph storage.
- MySQL is used for smaller datasets of < 1.5TB, which is the size of their RAID array, and as a backing store for larger datasets.
- Typical database server config: HP DL380, 72GB RAM, 24 disk RAID10. Good balance of memory and disk.
In my summary of the talk I've noted:
- Use MySQL when it works, something else when not - fortunately MySQL often does work
- MySQL is used by Twitter because it's robust, replication works and it's easy to use and run
- MySQL doesn't work good for graphs, auto_increment, replication lag is a problem
- MySQL replication improvements like crash safe multi-threaded slave is what they need
But Twitter is also one of the most prominent use cases of polyglot persistence.While MySQL is an important piece of the Twitter architecture, it is not the only storage or data processing engine.
The following other data solutions get mentioned in Jeremy's talk:
- Cassandra is used for high velocity writes, and lower velocity reads. The advantage is Cassandra can run on cheaper hardware than MySQL, it can expand easier, and they like schemaless design.
- Hadoop is used to process unstructured and large datasets, hundreds of billions of rows.
- Vertica is being used for analytics and large aggregations and joins so they don't have to write MapReduce jobs.
Yet that's not the whole story. Twitter is using Cassandra and Memcached for real-time URL fetchers and they also experimented with using Gizzard for Redis. After buying BackType, Twitter got and then open sourced Storm, a Hadoop-like real-time data processing tool. And who knows what's in the Twitter labs right now.

Preparation is worst part of colonoscopy screening
By Jack Kintner
I turned 62 last December 19, 12 years overdue for my first colonoscopy screening test. I'd kept putting it off despite coming from a medical family – my father and his six brothers are all doctors, as is my younger brother Bill.
Bill, 54, developed the chronic intestinal inflammation known as Crohn's Disease, which in a first-order (parent or sibling) relative makes colon cancer more likely for me, so I finally made an appointment through my local physician, Dr. Dave Allan, with Dr. Gary Belcaster of the Madrona Medical Group.
My liquids-only diet, required for at least 24 hours before the test, included a gallon of Colyte, a kind of kool-aid that cleans you out from stem to stern like a car wash.
The next day my long-suffering wife Linda delivered me, whimpering like a sheep headed for a lamb chop factory, to the Madrona office since I would not be allowed to drive home because of the anesthesia, which produces a state of conscious sedation.
The procedure began with a nurse handing me a classic "back-draft" hospital gown and, once I was in bed, starting an IV. Dr. Belcaster pointed out a large monitor beside the bed where I could "watch the whole thing."
A nurse then administered a combination of Demerol and an anesthetic called Versed and I was quickly off to la-la land.
I dimly remember waking up for just a brief glance at what looked like a long hallway with a strangely arched roof, something out of a Harry Potter movie, which was followed almost immediately by a sparkling "That's it! You're all done!"
My colonoscopy had apparently taken less time to do than pronounce. I was glad it was over but it was so easy it was almost a disappointment. It actually had taken Dr. Belcaster 29 minutes to run a tiny Olympus camera mounted on the end of a probe along the entire five feet of my large intestine.
He looked for polyps, something like skin tags, all the way in to the point where a right turn goes to a dead end (the appendix) and a left turn to the ileosecal valve, beyond which lies 30 feet of small intestine. He found one, cut it off and brought it back out with the camera.
Once the sedation ended I stood up to get dressed on very uneven legs. The last time I felt like this, Jimi Hendrix was on stage. No way could I have driven home, but by the next day I was fine and ready to go back to work.
A week later I got a letter from Dr. Belcaster saying that the one small hyperplastic benign polyp he found was "not the kind that will develop into cancer," and that I didn't need to return for 10 years.
That does not mean, Dr. Allan stressed, that I don't need to do anything at all until 2017. "If you have an annual fecal occult blood test (FOBT) and if nothing else shows up, then you can wait that long, but if something does present itself, a colonoscopy is the next step.
"We want you to realize that this test is simple, easy, no big deal, and can effectively deal with a potential killer that's also an almost completely preventable disease."

Travel still solid. Romance won & lost surprisingly strong in September's Audience Cost Calendar.
Yankee great Yogi Berra once stated, "It's like deja vu all over again." That's obvious when looking at the fact that six out of the Top 10 ranked segments in September's Audience Cost Calendar (which actually looks at August data) were Travel related (with Italy, France, the UK, South Pacific, Australia & New Zealand and Canada showing strong). In the August Cost Calendar (which looked at July data) five of the Top 10 segments were Travel related. The September Audience Cost Calendar – a monthly aggregation of impressions traded on digital ad exchanges – also shows the cost index narrowed last month (from 33 to nearly 250 in August) whereas the previous month's results (July) showed a wider range of between 45 to nearly 300. The cost index presents the average coist of the segments as it relates to the average cost of all segments. For example, an index of
The Art of Digital Advertising – More Than (Just) a Feeling
A great byline by Max Kalehoff entitled "Trust Your Numbers…Or Your Gut?" got me thinking about the conundrum digital marketers face every day. His conclusion – that to be truly effective, people need to "embrace emotions and feelings in tandem with hard data and science" – is something we all need to be aware of in everything we do and every decision we make. This balancing act is especially profound in the world of digital advertising. The need to utilize 'big' data, the demands of quantifying results and the desire to put together creative that makes ads stand out among a sea of sameness (and may even be award worthy) is a hard thing to do. There are a few masters who can truly pull it off well. As an art fan, I like to view the changes that have occurred (and continue to occur) in the art world as similar
Full Service vs. Self Service
Marc Grabowski, COO of Nanigans recently posted an article touting the benefits of a self-service model for trading desks. Grabowski claimed the benefits associated with self-service trading desks include: cost savings, data protection, speed to market, creation of core expertise for your brand, and consistency of account teams. All these benefits may be achieved through self-service, but full service offerings also offer a number of similar benefits. To consider how full service stacks up against self-service trading desk models, we first need to define what full service means. Let's consider full service to be services sufficient to manage and optimize a programmatic campaign such that only an IO is required from the client. These services include development of the technology platform and both technical integration and a business arrangement with any third parties that may be part of the solution. The benefits of full service are highly dependent on the provider, but we will
Sloth and Vanity
The smartest person I ever worked for was Barry Appelman at AOL (sorry Steve!). Amongst other things, Barry invented the buddy list. He also once thought of an extremely creative and somewhat controversial product development philosophy. He theorized that the seven deadly sins (Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy and Vanity) were core motivators of what drives most human behavior and that any successful consumer product needed to appeal to one or more of the deadly sins. At first it seems controversial, but really if you start thinking about successful products all around us, and you ask the question "which deadly sin does this product enable?" you realize there is much truth to this philosophy. I've spent a lot of time thinking about this over the years since that original conversation and have come to the conclusion that not all deadly sins are created equal. In particular, when it comes to creating
How Private is Your Back Yard?
When I go in my home and shut the door behind me, I have privacy – a lot of privacy. Anyone stomping on my bushes and peeking through my curtains can be prosecuted. I expect other people to understand these boundaries, and I expect the government to protect my right to privacy. If I did bother to read my lease, I would even find a clause that stipulates when and under what conditions the owner of my building can get into his own property. Our home is our private space because we own it, or lease it, or rent it. When I step into my yard, I have very different expectations of privacy—and so does the government. In my yard I know I have to tolerate a neighbor who walks right up to my hedge and watches me play with my dog. Let's keep walking. When I step out onto
Evaluating Programmatic Campaigns – Fourth and final tip
In this fourth post in the series, I will discuss how to evaluate campaigns run through programmatic media buying systems. I will discuss how to apply common metrics so these campaigns can be compared to other types of campaigns in a cross media mix, and I will discuss the very different metrics to apply when optimizing within a programmatic media buy or between programmatic media buys. Finally, I will share some of the measurement flaws we have experienced and how to avoid them. Comparing cross media campaigns Cross media campaigns almost always involve the challenge of reconciling unlike metrics. When comparing TV to Online, it isn't sensible to use GRPs which don't have much meaning online and it isn't possible to use clicks or beacons which don't exist in TV. The best thing to do is estimate the impact each campaign has on the bottom line then compute the Return
How Media Planners can Succeed with Programmatic Buys: Part Three
In part three of my tips for success in programmatic media buying series I address how to deliver an effective CPM campaign. I will share with you tips for delivering a successful CPM campaign as well as tips for working with a partner who is delivering the campaign for you. When evaluating CPC and CPA campaigns, ad delivery is usually not an issue. A partner may deliver as many clicks or actions as possible and will be paid a fixed rate for each one. Since there is no expectation of a minimum or maximum number of responses, and since the client doesn't worry much about the number of impressions served to achieve the responses, delivery is rarely an issue. For CPM campaigns, delivery is typically defined as spending a specified budget at a specified rate. Additionally, the client often has a back-end performance goal and wants the spend spread evenly

MADISON, WI (WHTC) - Just how healthy are those who live along the Lakeshore? According to the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Allegan and Ottawa counties are among the healthiest in Michigan. The annual 2012 County Health Rankings released today showed that Ottawa County was second among this state's 83 counties in Health Outcomes, which include mortality and morbidity, and fifth in Health Factors such as behaviors, clinical care, social and economic factors, and physical environment. Allegan County placed 18th and 26th in those rankings, respectively. The only category that both counties fared poorly was in physical environment, mainly due to air pollution wafting over from across Lake Michigan. The entire report is available online at www.countyhealthrankings.org.

Lenovo ThinkServer: Fast, versatile, energy-efficient
Lenovo 2U server sports 12 CPU cores and tons of storage
We tested the Lenovo ThinkServer RD630 in our network operations center cabinet at nFrame in Carmel, Ind., and found that it fits the bill if you're looking for a powerful, versatile 1/2U server.
The biggest limitation, we found, is that the standard sample we were sent has just two or three (depending on configuration options chosen) Gigabit Ethernet ports, which may limit its usefulness in high-traffic environments unless optional Ethernet cards are installed.
