- 10:25 AM – NodeTalk: Monolithic Systems Engineering with Node.js – Room 2
Enterprise software teams are starting to understand and embrace the power of Node.js. They face a serious challenge: Integrating Node.js into the legacy systems they maintain and then migrating these systems over time into Node.js architectures. This talk is a pathfinder for those facing these challenging tasks. This talk will also cover how we, as a community, must proactively engage with the Java and .Net communities, and create a deeper understanding of the "Node.js Way".
Richard Rodger, COO, nearForm
- 10:25 AM – NodeTalk: Bulletproof Node – Room 3
One of the many beauties of node is the simplicity and elegance. However, virtually all Node applications and services are plagued with a lack of fault tolerance that more mature platforms handle out of the box. What if, with as little as one line of code, and a narly npm package, we can turn any node app into Bulletproof Node?
Aaron Silvas, Software Architect, GoDaddy
- 10:25 AM – Joyent Sponsor Workshop: Lessons from Scaling Node.js – Robertson Auditorium
11:00 AM NodeTalk: Release the Kraken: A Story of Node.js in the Enterprise
A case study in how PayPal revitalized its tech stack by moving from Java, JSP and proprietary solutions to a Node.js web application stack with dust.js templating. Developer agility was our primary motivation, but along the way we had to tackle enterprise culture and teach people that JavaScript is no longer a "toy", but a powerful tool to wield.
Jeff Harrell, Director, UI Engineering, PayPal
11:20 AM Big Data and Node.js
We couldn't resist putting "Big Data" and "Node.js" in the same title (it's SEO gold!). Apparently a bunch of people can't resist actually leveraging one to make the other a reality. These people help make it all possible.

In this talk, we will describe our Node.js odyssey, including the challenges, the battle scars and the victories — and how our experiences have informed our stewardship of Node.js. We will detail why Node.js remains the right tool for so many of our jobs, discussing in particular the implementation of our new Manta storage service. We will outline our best practices for developing and deploying Node.js-based systems, and our view of the future of Node.js in production.
Bryan Cantrill, SVP of Engineering, Joyent
12:30 PM LUNCH (Workshops and NodeTalks – Located on Level 2)
- 12:45 PM – NodeTalk: Solving the Four Problem Categories of Web Development with the MEAN Stack – Room 2
If you're building a new web application, the problems that you run into generally fit into one of four categories: (1) Prototyping: I want to build something quickly, (2) Adapting: I want to be able to easily iterate on my code base, (3) Testing: I want to make sure that the app works and (4) Scaling: I want to utilize server resources efficiently. This NodeTalk will provide a high-level overview of how the MEAN stack, and in particular Node.js and npm, solve each of these pain points.
Valeri Karpov, Kernel Tools Engineer, MongoDB
- 12:45 PM – NodeTalk: Node.js, APIs, Apps and Data: A Perfect Match – Room 3
Everyone knows the technology world has transitioned to one of APIs and apps, backed by data. What's less obvious is how organizations get to take part in this new world, and how they can handle the resulting changes. Organizations require tools that allow them to build and deploy services quickly, scale them and change them on the fly. At Apigee, we use Node.js as a critical part of this toolset. In this talk we will outline how we and our customers are using Node.js to deploy apps, support APIs and analyze data.

12:30 PM LUNCH (Workshops and NodeTalks – Located on Level 2)
- 12:45 PM – NodeTalk: Let's Publish Better Node Modules – Room 1
The Node.js ecosystem is growing at an incredible rate. Our package manager, npm, is stuffed with useful software, and it's very easy to contribute. However, the quality of modules across the ecosystem is variable, and sometimes it's tough to separate the wheat from the chaff. In this presentation, we will look at techniques used by successful node module authors to make high-quality modules that are easy for developers to use. The challenge put to this audience will be taking their module authorship to the next level, and driving even greater adoption of node.js.
Kevin Whinnery, Developer Evangelist, Twilio
- 12:45 PM – NodeTalk: Beyond the MEAN Stack: Getting Small for the Enterprise – Room 2
Teams choose Node for enterprise applications because it makes it easy to write small applications that run fast and move huge amounts of data. Node's efficiency comes as much from what it *doesn't* do as what it does. Rather than building an enterprise stack on a single set of modules, harness the real power of Node by taking advantage of its great module system and strong ecosystem of third party modules.
Forrest Norvell, Node.js Agent Engineer, New Relic
- 12:45 PM – NodeTalk: BigData.js – Room 3
JavaScript can be a force for good in terms of ingesting, searching and visualizing data in real-time. From JQuery to Backbone.js to Node.js, JavaScript is up to the task of Big Data, which is only getting bigger.…even as you read this.
Itay Neeman, Dev Manager, Splunk

Burning candles as tributes is a tradition that could date back to the ancient Greeks, who baked round cakes as symbols of the moon and added candles to represent moonlight [source: Wonderopolis]. Ancient Egyptians had candles, too, probably as early as 3000 B.C. The Egyptians' candles weren't designed with wicks like modern birthday candles, however. The Romans (ever heard the term "Roman candle?") were credited with creating the wick design [source: National Candle Association]. Candles also played an important role in early Jewish religious celebrations. The wax creations always have served as more than household helpers. It's possible that the birthday/make-a-wish tradition started with the belief that candles' smoke carried wishes to the sky, and to the gods.
At some point, however, just singing and making wishes from blown-out candles wasn't enough fun. Friends, family members and co-workers decided to up the bar on birthday boys and girls with trick, or magic relighting, candles. Technically speaking, trick birthday candles go out when you blow on them, but they relight themselves so quickly that they appear to never extinguish.
When you blow out a normal candle, there's still a little burning ember in the wick that vaporizes the paraffin and creates a ribbon of smoke. But that ember isn't hot enough to actually ignite the paraffin vapor. Manufacturers add substances to the wicks of trick candles that are flammable enough for the embers to light and then ignite the paraffin vapor. Often, this substance is magnesium, which ignites at just 800 degrees Fahrenheit (430 degrees Celsius). Once the magnesium dust catches fire, it gets hot enough to light the paraffin vapor and the candle starts to quickly burn again. So just adding extra air to the mix -- usually enough to take out the flame -- doesn't get the job done on relighting candles. Birthday celebrants (and usually a few kids who join in) can keep on blowing, but the darn candles keep on relighting.
The good news is that paraffin and other common candle waxes -- though not as tasty as cream cheese frosting -- are not toxic. So there's no need to worry about how long it takes while everyone gets their laughs and the relighting candles melt onto that yummy homemade carrot cake.

Recently, I have written about the "at-will employment" rule and some of its exceptions. One of those exceptions is an employer's obligation to provide "reasonable accommodations" to certain employees. In my experience, this is an obligation that many employers — and, sometimes, employees and their care providers — fail to understand and implement properly. So, what is this "reasonable accommodation" rule and who does it apply to?
The Americans With Disabilities Act (the "ADA") and comparable state law protects "qualified individuals with a disability." If an employee is a "qualified individual with a disability," then the ADA prohibits the employer from taking any adverse action against that employee (such as termination or demotion) based on the employee's disability. This is classic discrimination law and similar laws protect classifications other than disability (such as gender, religion, race, national origin and sexual orientation.)
The ADA has another – and often misunderstood – requirement, however. If an employee is a "qualified individual with a disability," her employer also has an AFFIRMATIVE DUTY to reasonably accommodate that disability so that the employee can do her job, even if the accommodation requires the employer to incur an expense or provide something for the "qualified individual" that it would NOT provide to a non-disabled employee.
An "accommodation" is essentially ANY modification that allows an employee to perform the "essential functions" of his or her job. Examples include modifying physical facilities to accommodate a mobility issue or other physical impairment, or allowing an employee to take a temporary leave of absence or work a reduced schedule while receiving treatment for depression or another mental health issue.
The employer's duty to accommodate trumps any internal company policies. For instance, an employer may have strict no-fault attendance or tardiness policies that provide for termination of employment after a fixed number of absences or tardies per year, regardless of the reason. Or, the employer may have a mandatory overtime requirement that applies to all employees in a particular department or during particular times of the year. Nonetheless, the employer may be required to excuse a disabled employee from these policies, and it is no defense that the employer does not similarly excuse non-disabled employees. That is the point of a "reasonable accommodation" under the ADA – it must be provided to accommodate the disability and level the playing field for those individuals who can otherwise perform the essential functions of their jobs.
"Disability," "qualified individual," "reasonable accommodation" and "essential functions," among other terms, have distinct legal meanings under the ADA. Whether an individual employee is "disabled" under the ADA or otherwise a "qualified individual" depends on the employee's particular impairment and the specific duties of that employee's job. Whether an accommodation is "reasonable" depends on still other factors, including the size and resources of the employer. In disability discrimination and failure-to-accommodate cases, these issues are often vigorously contested. Thorough development of the relevant evidence and proper presentation of these issues to a Court is critical to the employee's success in a disability discrimination or failure-to-accommodate case.
Then again, if you were me, you would say that is where the fun begins. . .
Janie Lanza Vowles represents individuals and businesses in a variety of wrongful termination cases, including cases involving wages violations, gender, disability and other forms of discrimination, failure to accommodate, and retaliation. If you have a question about this blog post or any other employment-related issue, feel free to contact Attorney Vowles to discuss your matter further.
I was fired for smoking in the work truck. there is no policy included in the employee handbook. I did not sign anything acknowledging this policy. No verbal discussion ever took place relative to this. Ironically I was injured on the job 2 weeks earlier. I had filed an incident report after the injury. Also went to urgent care for treatment. I was put on restriction by the doctor at that time. No effort was made to provide for my restriction. I continued to work because I need the money. A week later the injury was worse. I told my immediate boss I was unable to perform all functions of my job because of the pain. The next morning I was fired.
Hi there,
I am supervisor in a NYC school. I recently hurt my knee while walking out of the school. I showed up after my injury with a note from the doctor for an accomodation to bring my classess downsatirs instead of walking up and down stairs. In addition, I requested to transfer to a building with an elevator since my building has no elevator and I teach on the fourth floor. My principal said that "if I dont go up the stairs she can not support me". I was fearing for my job and I did finally go up the steps. Since then I have had more problems with my other knee and my neck. A few days later I got letter that I was insubordinate and deriliction of duty over inaccurately marking a student absent. In addition, I found out on my own that I could have filled a special form on line through the department of education medical division for accomodations. I went through many heads of the department yet nobody had this information for me. I have been ignored by many. Only the union has written me back. However, they too failed to tell me this.I beleive I am being targeted in retaliation because of my disability.
I just list my job I got hurt at home and I'm going to have knee surgery in January and I was able to go back to work under restriction I took the doctor slip to my work and they fired me for not being able to do my job what can I do

BLACKSBURG - Robert Sarvis, the Libertarian candidate for Governor of Virginia, will not be invited to participate in the final debate of the governor's race.
WDBJ, the station organizing the Oct. 24 debate on the Virginia Tech campus, announced late Thursday that Robert Sarvis has fallen just short of the 10 percent threshold for a third candidate to get on stage.
Sarvis released a statement that says he is disappointed, but not surprised.
"We all know what happened here," the statement reads. "As the goalposts kept changing over the past couple weeks, it became clear that the decision would be made on the basis of measures that have the patina of objectivity, but in fact are designed to exclude.
Although he won't participate in the debate, Sarvis says he is undeterred in his campaign.
"To the voters of Virginia, I say this: I won't let anyone take away your right to hear from all the candidates. I will carry on the campaign and show you why I am - and my vision for a Virginia that's both 'Open-minded and Open for Business' is - the best choice for Governor of Virginia."
The candidates--including Robert Sarvis--will be at the 8News and Radio One Gubernatorial Community Forum on Saturday, Oct. 26. Click here to sign up and ask them your questions.

Capture accurate face images from a distance with NeoFace. Its 'Adaptive Region Mixed Matching' technology focuses on segment regions on the face, giving you a higher-quality and more precise match.
If you've used other makers' products, you'll know they aren't always accurate. That's because the programs judge certain combined characteristics, such as the distance between the eyes and the nose, or the nose and the mouth. But this creates a problem, because if even one of these segments is missing, the accuracy drops dramatically.
NeoFace, on the other hand, divides the input image and the registered image into small segments, and only focuses on highly-similar segments of the face. This gives you a more authentic match, even if part of the subject's face is hidden by a mask or glasses, for example.

Actually, if you read elitist jerks, you would know: Top raiding rogues DO use Saronite bombs. Check it out, MMO Champion has a bunch of logs from other kills by other top raids showing the use of them. Knowing this, Blizz should have looked into what happens, and as such, they failed to fully test the encounter. No one was banned for the 'glitch' of getting behind the Lich King in Halls of Reflection. Blizzard just quietly 'fixed' it by having him attack those who try it. The ban was overboard on Blizz's part. The removal of the achievements and all loot from the kill is as far as it should have gone.

Desmond Dekker (16 July 1941 – 25 May 2006) was a Jamaican ska, rocksteady and reggae singer-songwriter and musician. Together with his backing group, The Aces (consisting of Wilson James and Easton Barrington Howard), he had one of the earliest international reggae hits with "Israelites" (1968). Other hits include "007 (Shanty Town)" (1967), "It Mek" (1969) and "You Can Get It If You Really Want" (1970).

Weekly Debriefing 004
• Well, I wrote some spy fiction this week. It was an 8,000 word short story called "Countdown to Midnight" for an upcoming prose anthology I'm editing for Moonstone Books featuring the old radio, serial and comic book hero Captain Midnight. In our version of the character, Cap is very much a black ops-type guy, a "flying spy" operating in an alternate history where WW II never happened. In my story, he has to destroy a secret fortress in the Andes, the launch site for the world's first intercontinental ballistic missile. The book's supposed to be out in January or February of 2010, and also has stories by Stephen Mertz, Win Scott Eckert, and John J. Nance, among others.
• I'm currently reading the 1983 Nick Carter novel The Greek Summit, which a frequent visitor to this blog, Robert J. Randisi, informs me is one of the half-dozen that he contributed to the series. Expect a review in a day or two. I'm also reading Tod Goldberg's second Burn Notice novel, The End Game. Will post my thoughts on this one soon, as well.
• This week's spy-fi purchases: I picked up four more early Nick Carter, Killmaster paperbacks from a used bookstore that recently opened nearby. The titles were: The Kremlin File, The Cobra Kill, The Vulcan Disaster, and The Sign of the Prayer Shawl. One of these days, I'll get around to reading them.
Wednesday night, I picked up the DVD of the 2003 spy-fi spoof, Johnny English, at our local Big Lots for a couple of bucks. Not one of my favorites, despite a screenplay by Bond scribes Neal Purvis and Robert Wade and a really excellent musical score by Edward Shearmur. Fact is, I'm just not much of a Rowan Atkinson fan. I despise his Mr. Bean character, and even Blackadder, which I recognize as being good, just isn't to my tastes. Even his small role in Never Say Never Again always irritates the hell out of me.
So why did I pick it up? Well, it was dirt cheap, for one, and it was a spy spoof, for another – and I collect spy spoofs. And even the weakest spy spoofs – like The Nude Bomb or Dr. Goldfoot – have a few bright spots and gags that prompt a chuckle or two.
And did I mention that I liked the music? I really have to track down the soundtrack CD.
• Well, that about covers the last seven days. How was your week?
End Transmission.

I was wondering how you were going to approach Captain Midnight. That sounds excellent.
BTW, my wife and I have a split opinion about your latest poll. We like both shows, but I told her that I voted for Westen, because he was younger, and you were talking specifically about needing help. Joyce says Robert McCall is still more intimidating...
- July 3, 2009 at 2:24 PM
- Christopher Mills said...
I agree with your wife.
Not only would McCall solve whatever the problem was, he'd do it with a lot less property damage. :)

But being protected by Westen would have fringe benefits - like being holed up in a safe house with Fi !

I love Johnny English! Though I understand how it could be a tough watch if you just don't like Atkinson, I guess. But I thought it was a much more enjoyable spy spoof than the last two Austin Powers movies, for sure--and maybe even the first one. Very Pink Pantherish. And, as you mention, it had a great spy score!
- July 4, 2009 at 4:06 PM
- Christopher Mills said...
To be fair, Tanner, I will admit to liking it better the second time around.
Johnny English is pretty much the same character as Maxwell Smart (Don Adams), though, with his male partner playing the 99 role.
And speaking of Smart, I'm surprised to see how much the Get Smart remake borrowed from JE.

Hello interested students! I am an undergraduate student at NYU, a graduate of a prestigious high school (Stuyvesant High School) and an experienced SAT and Regents tutor. I have a firm and patient teaching style, as I find this is most effective in teaching students, especially in regards to preparing them for standardized tests. Students can expect to have a relaxed environment in which questions are encouraged and practice is at the forefront. This will to allow the student to learn and master the subject. I work at the pace required for the student, adjusting for each style of learning. At the same time, the student will be required to have a serious attitude. Work I prepare as a sort of homework for the students (the amount adjusted according to the students' available free time), is one of the best teaching tools I have used or have learned from and will be part of the students' experience with me. I find that this allows students to gain experience and practice in the subject such that they can perform well alone. It also allows me to gauge their abilities and review material that they are having trouble in.
As a participant in after school services at the Arab American Family Support Center in Downtown Brooklyn, I often engaged with younger students having trouble in subjects and test preparation I had experience in. I also experienced many different styles of tutoring as a student, in groups and 1-on-1, that have informed my teaching philosophy.
In 2011, as a junior in high school, I was given the opportunity to tutor an 8th grade student in Regents Integrated Algebra. Over the course of 6 months, the student gained 8 points on a 0-100 scale in his grades, performing highly on the Regents exam and later exams in the class after having started as a below-average to average student. Through out the experience I adjusted my practices, leading to an overall improvement in his grades and a change in attitude about the subject. The change in attitude was something I am very proud about as someone who loves math and has a passion for this subject. I continued to tutor him into my senior year, but had to leave due to a busy schedule.
During the summer of 2012, I was employed with Khan's tutorial as a SAT and Regents tutor for all subjects. This experience allowed me to engage with students of all ages and work with students preparing for the SATs.
As a freshman in college, my work study job was working as a teacher's assistant at a local middle school. I assisted a math and science teacher of 6th graders in checking work, answering students' questions, helping create classroom materials, and doing busywork. I learned about the classroom environment, how to engage with younger students, especially students with major difficulties, and how to create learning materials for younger students that are fun and engaging. I also gained a perspective on teaching for students preparing for standardized testing through the classroom.
Over the past two years, I have tutored 3 students in high school math Regents subjects, two elementary students in all subjects, tutored a student for the SATs, and tutored a number of students for short term test preparation. I currently tutor two elementary students, another student in trigonometry, and another student preparing for the PSAT.
I am excited to teach those committed to bettering their general SAT and Regents subject skills. I hope to help students achieve their goals.
I was a Regents tutor at a private tutoring center for all subjects. I tutored for an 8th grade student in integrated Algebra, as explained in my information. I have a Regents diploma and have received high grades on the Regents and classes of those Regents subjects.
I will tutor those interested in Regents tutoring on a case by case basis, considering the fact that I specifically prefer teaching Math and English subjects.

FARNBOROUGH England (Reuters) - Airbus
Recent profits warnings from airlines such as Lufthansa
However, shares in Airbus closed down 2.5 percent after the company told analysts it may have to cut output of its best-selling twin-aisle A330 passenger jet to get through a three-year transition toward an upgraded model launched at the show.
Airbus Chief Executive Fabrice Bregier acknowledged on Monday that his company's demand forecast implied that average production over the expected lifespan of the revamped jet project would be lower than the current 10 a month.
Airbus gave further indications to analysts at a meeting on Wednesday that production would slip, participants said.
Reflecting the flurry of activity in the first three days of the show, the biennial event has already outsold the 2012 show, which saw $72 billion of orders and commitments. The tally hit $135 billion at last year's Paris Airshow.
Such deals range for provisional letters of intent to firm orders, and can include the announcement of transactions that may have been listed in order books to unidentified buyers.
Europe's Airbus has racked up over $60 billion in orders and commitments, boosted by demand for its re-engined and more fuel-efficient A330.
However, its U.S. rival fought back on Wednesday.
Gulf carrier Qatar Airways finalised a $19 billion order for 50 Boeing 777-9 X planes and added options to buy a further 50, potentially doubling the size of the deal.
China's Hainan Airlines <600221.SS> also announced plans to order 50 Boeing 737 MAX 8 planes worth $5.1 billion at list prices.
Prior to the air show, Boeing had a comfortable lead in orders over Airbus this year, with 649 net orders as of July 8 versus 290 for Airbus.
Late in the day, Airbus sought to reassure participants after a German broadcaster reported the planemaker's plans to upgrade the doors on its A380 superjumbo could mean the program breaking even later than expected.
A spokesman said Airbus was testing improvements to the doors after incidents mainly involving noise during flights and that it expected the upgrade to be approved in the autumn, and fitted to all planes rolling off the production line from 2015.
He said it was unclear how much the upgrade would cost but that Airbus was "well on track" to reach breakeven on the A380 in 2015, as planned.
Also on Wednesday, Canada's Bombardier

Slimmed-Down Sips: Smart Swaps for Your Favorite Winter Drinks
Written on January 10, 2014 at 11:45 am , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Alena Hall, editorial intern
It seems that as soon as we set our healthy eating and weight loss resolutions, the blustery winter sends us running into the comforting arms of our favorite coffee shop to down those delicious cold-weather drinks we love so much. They warm us up from the inside out, and let's face it, they taste like happiness in a cup on the days we really need a lift.
Unfortunately, those daily pick-me-ups come at a caloric cost and it leaves less room for good-for-you food choices. So in an effort to have our coffee and drink it too, we tapped executive chef Anthony Stewart of the Pritikin Longevity Center to serve up the best-tasting ways to slim down our favorite winter beverages from popular specialty chains, rather than ruling them out altogether.
"It's always good to remember that the food industry is big on presentation and taste but not so much on nutrition," Stewart says. "So whenever you can dilute or make a simple substitution request, it will serve you well." Little things like skipping the caramel drizzle, choosing from available fat-free milk and asking for unsweetened cocoa powder can go a long way. So the next time you hit up Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts or Tim Horton's in an effort to escape from the cold, make these simple requests to save your calories without skimping on flavor.
Starbucks Tall Peppermint Mocha
Original calorie count: 320
Simple swaps:
- Replace syrup with 1 ½ tablespoons of Crème de Menthe
- Add 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- Request hot skim milk over whole milk
- Choose frothed skim milk instead of whipped cream
New calorie count: 213
Calories saved: 107

Light Summer Drinks to Enjoy On-the-Go
Written on July 13, 2012 at 12:45 pm , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Laura Cofsky, editorial intern
If the recent heat wave is any indication, summer is rapidly reaching its peak. And during these dog days of summer, it's easy to feel like we're constantly busy as we try to balance work with vacation plans and other fun in the sun activities. But even when we're on the go, it's important to take a moment to relax. Sometimes, it only takes a few invigorating sips to do the trick.
Lucky for us, some of our favorite shops have us covered. Keep reading to see where you can get a fast pick me up while still blowing that to-do list out of the water!
Introducing their new line of Starbucks Refreshers, these new drinks total 100 calories per handcrafted serving and contain green coffee extract – perfect for those who want the effects of coffee, but can't stand the taste. It sounded too good to be true, so we tested it ourselves. The verdict? Yum! Available in summer-ready flavors like Very Berry Hibiscus and Cool Lime, this drink keeps you going while serving a generous helping of antioxidants.
Bonus: If you stop into Starbucks before 3p.m. on Friday, July 13, you can nab a Refresher for free!
Jamba Juice
This smoothie shop's Fruit Refreshers not only come in a variety of beach-inspiring flavors like Strawberry Lemonade and Watermelon Splash, but they're nutritional powerhouses too. The 16 oz. variety clocks in around 230 calories and can account for up to 90 percent of your daily vitamin C needs. If you choose the Tropical Mango flavor, you'll also suck down more than half of your recommended dose for vitamin A. Made with refreshing coconut water, this light sip is bound to re-hydrate a busy girl during an errand-packed day.
Soft Serve Fruit Co.
If you're looking for something that will hold you over for a while, try a smoothie from this company. Made from their signature soft serve fruit and your choice of liquid (water, skim, soy or almond milk), each pack anywhere from 289 to 338 calories and no added sugar. Our fave? The Berry Blast!
