Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company (NASDAQ: AMZN), today announced High Memory Cluster instances, a new Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance family designed for memory-intensive applications such as in-memory analytics, databases, caching, and scientific computing. High Memory Cluster instances are ideal for applications that require a large amount of memory on a single instance, or require taking advantage of distributed memory architectures. For distributed memory-intensive applications, High Memory Cluster instances are the most cost-effective Amazon EC2 instance and provide a lower cost per GiB of memory than all other instances. These instances are based on two Intel Xeon E5-2670 processors which provide 88 EC2 Compute Units (ECUs) of compute capacity, two 120 GB solid state drives of instance storage, high bandwidth networking, and 244 GiB of RAM. This provides customers with improved performance and efficiency for in-memory analytics and other memory-intensive applications. To get started with Amazon EC2 and High Memory Cluster instances, visit http://aws.amazon.com/ec2.
"Memory-intensive workloads such as real-time applications used by healthcare providers, social networking companies and advertising technology providers require large amounts of memory to maintain high-performance," said Peter DeSantis, Vice President of Compute Services, AWS. "We designed the High Memory Cluster instances specifically for these workloads, and this is the third instance family (along with High Storage instances and High I/O instances) launched in the past six months designed specifically for high performance applications. We'll continue to listen and learn from customers and provide additional instance families and capabilities to meet the requirements of their applications."
"The new High Memory Cluster instances provide sizeable CPU cores and storage to run even larger workloads on SAP HANA in the AWS cloud," said Sapan Panigrahi, Vice President, HANA Cloud, SAP. "By leveraging the strength of SAP HANA in-memory computing, with the agility and low cost of the AWS cloud, a new generation of solutions are now possible. We look forward to enabling these instances to help our customers run real-time applications in the cloud."
"Engine Yard enables thousands of developers and organizations to write powerful applications for business analytics, advertising and social media analysis and deploy in the cloud," said Bill Platt, SVP, Operations at Engine Yard. "The high memory capacity, combined with the high computing and networking capabilities of the High Memory Cluster instances, will greatly benefit customers doing in-memory analytics and running transactional applications on our platform."
Customers can launch Linux and Windows High Memory Cluster instances using the AWS Management Console, the AWS and Amazon EC2 Command Line Interfaces, AWS SDKs, and third party libraries. High Memory Cluster instances are currently available in the US East (N. Virginia) Region and will be made available in other AWS Regions in the coming months. Customers can purchase these new instances as On-Demand, Reserved or Spot instances. For more information on Amazon EC2 and High Memory Cluster instances, visit http://aws.amazon.com/ec2.

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

The IoT market is on track to hit $7.1 trillion in 2020. The reality is that only a handful of companies are ready for this massive demand. There are a lot of barriers, paint points, traps, and hidden roadblocks. How can we deal with these issues and challenges? The paradigm has changed. Old-style ad-hoc trial-and-error ways will certainly lead you to the dead end. What is mandatory is an overarching and adaptive approach to effectively handle the rapid changes and exponential growth.

WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was. You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

Letters to the editor: Feb. 10, 2010
Here are letters to the editor from Daily News editions of Feb. 10, 2010:
Letter of the Day: One more, or less, thing to do, girls
Editor, Daily News:
My wife and I biked one Saturday toward Naples from the Vineyards area. I found it to be enjoyable and at the same time an adventure in survival.
I could not help but notice while waiting at numerous intersections the amount of texting going on.
Almost all of the persons I saw texting (about 25 during the trip) were younger women. It was no surprise to me knowing how God has equipped the female of our species with an uncanny ability to "multitask."
But come on, girls. You will be missed by your family if God forbid you find yourself colliding with an unexpected pedestrian or others. Then it would be too late to say, "I am so sorry, I should have realized."
Please, before you and/or someone else is killed or disabled, realize that there is responsibility that comes with the gift of multitasking when behind the wheel of thousands of pounds of steel traveling down the public right of way.
Thank you in advance.
— Mike Brower
What the doctor ordered
Editor, Daily News:
How to pay for "Obamacare"
The December issue of the AARP Bulletin quoted Sen. Ted Kaufman, D-Del.. as saying: "Fraud perpetuated against both public and private health plans costs between $72 (billion) and $220 billion annually."
The Senate and House health-care plan is estimated to cost us taxpayers $800 billion to $1 trillion over 10 years; that equates to $80 billion to $100 billion a year.
What has our government done to reduce fraud, and what has been its success rate? Wouldn't a 50 percent annual success rate ($36 billion to $110 billion) in reducing fraud almost pay for "Obamacare"?
What is the real cost of health care today, including illegal immigrants, and how successful have our legislators been in recovering, fining and imprisoning health-care fraudsters?
A comprehensive report would tell all.
— Jim Sullivan
Second opinion
Editor, Daily News:
Regarding Thomas W. Votel's anti-evolution letter, it's understandable when someone without a scientific background simply doesn't understand the concepts of biological evolution.
However, a physician should have at least studied embryology, physiology, biology, chemistry and genetics.
Understanding evolution also requires delving into several other sciences. Votel's argument boils down to the often-made creationist claim: "It wasn't useful until finished, so it couldn't have got started."
The point of this is clear. Creationists, since they don't have any science backing their religious views, attack evolutionary principles. One of their claims is complex systems or organs could not have arisen because part of an organ or system is useless. Favorite examples are eyes, insect wings and blood cells. All of these and many others have been extensively studied.
The bottom line is that intermediate steps in the evolution of complex features are often advantageous. Most new features are modifications of pre-existing structures with altered functions.
Although in its later stages of modification a structure may be highly complex, with its function depending on the intricate coordination of many parts, even an earlier, simpler structure often provides an advantage to the organism.
As for evolution of red blood cells, the most primitive blood cell was a protohemocyte which was first involved in phagocytosis and nutrition. So the primitive ancestor of a red blood cell engulfed and ingested particles to provide the cell nourishment.
As more complex organisms developed, differentiated cells appeared that distributed food and oxygen. Thus erythrocytes evolved.
— Allen Malnak, M.D.
Bonita Springs
Whole proposal hurts too much
Editor, Daily News:
Don't social engineer our public schools.
The current rezoning proposal for Collier County schools doesn't make sense because:
* Underutilized capacity in Lely and Golden Gate high schools will be absorbed shortly when we provide for the displaced Haitian children on their way now to South Florida.
* Forcibly moving students to different schools is scientifically proven to result in poor student performance, higher dropout rates and ongoing behavioral problems.
* Economic studies show that the same Florida home in an A school district is worth about $10,000 more on average than a B school — so rezoning from an A to a C will significantly diminish our working class' property values, just when many are teetering on foreclosure. Foreclosed properties mean less property tax revenues.
* You can't "lift" lower-graded schools by shipping a few hundred higher-performing students in, because that won't create the critical mass for the honors and Advanced Placement offerings needed to support higher-performing students.
Overall, social engineering school districts to prop up substandard schools with higher-performing students has been proven to not resolve the fundamental issues with nor create sustainable improvements for lower-performing schools.
With "Students are our number one priority and their needs are the focus of all district decisions" listed as a core belief and principle of the Collier County district, the School Board should direct the superintendent and his staff to go back to the drawing board for better proposals that keep all our children's academic, social and emotional well-being their No. 1 priority.
—Thomas Hecker
What about us?
Editor, Daily News:
Upon opening the Daily News each morning, I feel that I have been transported to Lee County — with so many articles about Bonita Springs and other Lee cities.
Our police report is now including some Lee County crimes. Makes our tourists feel safe since there is little crime in Naples to report.
I have heard that there have been more than 20 house robberies in the Oyster Bay, Royal Harbor, area in the last five months that have not been reported.
I do not find Lee County news that interesting. I want to know what is happening in Collier County.
If anyone agrees with me, contact the paper.
— Mary Lee Rigsbee
A council role model
Editor, Daily News:
Bonita Springs City Councilman Richard Ferreira is a very private man.
But recently I have had the pleasure of coming to know him on a more personal level. The most important thing I have learned about Ferreira is that those of us in Bonita Springs owe him genuine thanks — thanks for the professional leadership he has given our city; thanks for the sincere concern he has shown for the residents of District 1; and thanks for the invaluable advice he has offered me over the past few months.
Thank you, Councilman Ferreira; you will be missed.

Step on the gas
Editor, Daily News:
My fellow Americans:
Now we know.
So now we act.
Let's purchase Chevys, Fords, Dodges, Chryslers.
We will be safe.
And the economy will move in the right direction.
— Fred Marvin
Vote for Sharkey
Editor, Daily News:
On Feb. 3, the Bonita Springs Utilities sent out ballots for elections to its board of directors.
BSU is a member-run utility and anyone who pays a water bill will receive a ballot. Ballots must be returned by March 9.
In this local utility election every vote counts. This is our opportunity as neighbors and friends to support the candidates who will work for our best interests as a community now and in the future.
That is why I am supporting incumbent Robert Sharkey and urge my neighbors to do the same. Robert has joined fellow BSU board members in successfully voting for no membership rate increases in 2009 and will work to keep member rates for water and sewer low.
As a father and grandfather, he is dedicated to preserving our water resources while protecting our environment for future generations.
— Jean Larson
Bonita Springs
Comfort food for thought
Editor, Daily News:
I have been traveling to Naples for many moons now to visit my parents, and each morning I delight in getting up to the Florida sun and sitting outside (well, most mornings are sunny and warm) and reading the Daily News.
There is something that really draws me in to the Daily News — from doing the crosswords with my mom and daughter; to catching up on the animals that have been rescued at the Conservancy of Southwest Florida by reading Joanna Fitzgerald's piece; to the goings-on of community contributors who are trying to enlighten us so very well, such as Janis Lyn Johnson; to the advice of Dr. Gott; and, of course, the local headline news written so well by your reporters.
I find comfort and wisdom in reading your pages.
Thank you for all you do for the citizens of Naples to keep them informed and enlightened and for what you do for me personally on my journeys to Naples — as I gain in perspective from reading your pages.
Blessings and gratitude!

Clifton, Va.
Robins: This just in
Editor, Daily News:
Re: Roland Sanders' letter about not seeing robins in Naples.
I have been in Naples for 18 years and have seen robins in Naples only twice, and this was in the winter.
I have a theory about this anomaly and it coincides with heavy snow and ice storms in the central parts of the United States.
Robins exist in the central part of the country until the weather drives them south to find food. When they do come, they appear to be in a feeding frenzy and devour anything they can find. While doing this, they eat much of the food our local winter visitors exist on. This includes finches, eastern bluebirds, warblers and others.
I like robins, too, but I hope they stay to the north.

'Everything would be right'
Editor, Daily News:
I'm sorry I voted for President Barack Obama.
Sorry I didn't vote a straight Republican ticket.
Sorry, that in my eagerness to do what I thought was best for my country, I forgot one of the most fundamental rules of life: "He who makes the mess needs to clean it up." I learned that at my grandma's knee and I taught it to my kids.
If I had voted for the Republicans, I'm sure we would all be living the life of Riley right now. Everything would be right in world (pun intended).
Also, I keep waiting patiently for the holier-than-thou Naples chapter of conservatives to pronounce judgment on that adulterer Mark Sanford, the most Republican governor of South Carolina. After all, he lied to his staff, his wife and left his state leaderless to go cavort with his lover in Argentina.
So far — big surprise — there's been nary a word. However, former President Bill Clinton has continued to be reviled on a regular basis.
I guess a Republican by any other name would be called a hypocrite.
— Ginger Robinson
See you around
Editor, Daily News:
I want to express my many thanks to the voters for the support I received for my bid for City Council in District 1 in Bonita Springs.
I met and made many new friends during the campaign who otherwise I would have not met.
I will continue to serve on the Local Planning Agency Board and look forward to seeing all of you around our great city.
One door closes and another opens.
I will be back.
Thanks again.

'I am not that stupid'
Editor, Daily News:
Have you ever questioned your own logic?
My logic? How can it be questioned? I dislike talking about my logic, even though it is superb.
Can you define logic? Logic is the conformity of thought with thing.
That is correct. Can you give us an example?
If the thing you wish to define is an apple and you call it an apple, you are logical. If it's a pear and you call it a pear, you are again being logical. The problem arises when the thing is more complex. If you look at the moon and call it green cheese, you are being illogical.
I am not that stupid. Or am I? Consider the abortion issue. Is there a logical answer?
A pro-life fellow looked into an ultrasound machine and saw an image. He called it a human fetus, while a pro-abortion woman looked through the same machine and said the fellow was dead wrong.
To prove her point, she spoke of a doctor who cut into the tissue of a similar thing and then sucked out its brains.
I've heard enough.

What should come next
Editor, Daily News:
Re; Toyota recalls:
1. Toyota should tell owners of the cars that are on the list with faulty accelerators or brakes to return the cars to the dealers to have them fixed.
2. All these people need their cars to go to work, take kids to school, buy groceries, etc., so they should be able to rent cars at Toyota's expense while their cars are being fixed.
If the dealers take one week, one month or one year fixing the cars, it should be Toyota's financial responsibility, not the owners of the vehicles.
This will partially be a way to get their credibility back.

Who dat?
Editor, Daily News:
I wonder if others have experienced this while driving between Naples and Fort Myers.
At least three times a week I will see a car on U.S. 41, either ahead of me or to the side, which has no license plate. I don't mean that the plate is posted in the rear window, but that the car has nothing on the back to identify it as a licensed vehicle.
Have others experienced this? I am thinking I will pack a camera to document this.
— Frank Dowd
What's on tonight?
Editor, Daily News:
Problem solved!
With all the controversy regarding late-night talk-show hosts — Jay Leno and new multimillionaire Conan O'Brien — here's some food for thought:
Give President Barack Obama his very own midnight talk show. Rather than him taking up seemingly hours of important TV watching time, he could have his own gig. It would start with Press Secretary Robert Gibbs saying (in classic Ed McMahon style), "H-heeeeere's-uh-da-uh Prez," and the president could leap out between the green curtains to the whistling, clapping and foot-stomping of the hysterical audience.
All union members.
Sitting next to the prez, on a green couch, with his Colgate smile gleaming, would be Vice President Joe Biden, along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, smile plastered in place — both of them jumping up and down like jack-in-the-boxes on steroids after the president reiterates each of his campaign promises and why he never meant any of them.
He figures, what the heck? Politics is about lies and midnight shows are for entertainment. And this show would be a doozy.
Plus, it would give idiotic tea-party lovers like me more time to watch "SpongeBob" and reruns of "The Beverly Hillbillies."
Is this a great country or what?
— Chuck Smith
Lost or found
Editor, Daily News:
Re: Your Thursday editorial referencing the proposed overpass at U.S. 41 and Collier Boulevard.
It makes some very good points about the traffic, the money and if this is the right intersection to focus on. It ends with "are we missing something?"
A few short months ago, I and many hundreds of other defenders of animals were furiously writing to the Collier County commissioners to encourage them to try to find the money in their budget so they wouldn't be euthanizing the animals at Domestic Animal Services after five days. We were all told that there just wasn't any money to spare, and with all the budget cuts, the animals were going to lose. Thankfully, that didn't happen.
So yes, we are missing something — a hidden treasury that obviously is at the sole discretion of the commissioners to use as they see fit and we, the residents of Collier County, have no idea how much is in that hidden stash.
— Susan M. Mehas
Read all about it
Editor, Daily News:
The letter complimenting Jeff Lytle for his editorial pages by Georgine Hill Mendillo was right on.
I wonder how many other Daily News subscribers follow the same procedure that I do each day:
Take newspaper inside the house/lanai; remove plastic; open newspaper directly to letters to the editor page. Read all letters; cut out several for sending to friends and family. Only then do I read the news or start the crossword puzzle.
Please add my congratulations to all those who are impressed by Jeff's first-class journalistic editorial talents.

From experience
Editor, Daily News:
There are so many people out there who have hidden in the shadows because they could not afford mental-health care for a child, the stigma of which has added to their pain.
As a mother of such a child myself, I have been able to overcome the problem of getting help for us all by becoming a social worker myself and finding out exactly what I could do. Too many don't know how and are relegated to the groups who still live in shame and ignorance because we have to pay such high premiums for health care, physical or mental.
President Barack Obama has taken on the task of helping all the people who, because they cannot afford health care, must continue to suffer. When are we going to realize that when one of us in the family is ill, we are all affected?
It's time for affordable health reform for all people in this country — now!
— Gloria DeTomaso
Pardon me ...
Editor, Daily News:
I guess it's all relative.
Goldman Sachs CEO and Chairman Lloyd Blankfein received only a $9 million bonus for 2009, "a fraction of the $68.5 million he got in 2007," said The Wall Street Journal.
Though Goldman "rebounded in 2009 to its most profitable year ever," I still find myself converting these outlandish bonuses to what they represent in terms of the average American wage earner.
If the average wage here is $18 an hour, and assuming a 40-hour work week, that's $37,440 a year. For quick figuring, let's round off the numbers, say $34,000 divided into $68 million.
The result? Blankfien's 2007 bonus was the annual income equivalent of 2,000 regular Joes and Joannes.
Pardon me if I have little sympathy for the paltry $9 million he received in 2009.
He has more than enough to fall back on.

Name the problem
Editor, Daily News:
Eddie Filer's letter questions why rich people have to have an ostentatious Naples Winter Wine Festival to contribute to needy children, especially since these functions are only attended by rich people.
Is it because large donations usually come from rich people and not from poor people? And what's wrong with having some fun and getting some recognition for your generosity?
He cites Bill Gates as an example to emulate. But didn't Gates name his charity the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and not the John Doe Fund? It's just human nature to wish to be recognized if you do some good.
Come on, Eddie, let's be honest. If every time you mailed in a letter to the Daily News pulling someone's chain, and the paper were to sign your letter "anonymous," wouldn't we get fewer letters from you?

Our first big mistake was ...
Editor, Daily News:
Re: Friday letter by J.N. Miranda.
I would like to point out that President Barack Obama, without the aid of a teleprompter, took on 140, plus or minus, Republicans in an open question-and-answer format on television (which was requested by the Republicans) with such clarity, professionalism and charm that he sent them home shaking their heads.
His answers to their talking-points questions left them with little to say.
As one Republican leader was quoted as saying: "Why did we ever televise this event?"
Our president is head and shoulders above any person the Republican Party could offer as a presidential candidate. MSNBC aired the entire broadcast, while Fox News cut away, not because of a news flash; it was due to the manner in which Obama answered their questions. Fox realized that the Republicans were in over their heads.
With regard to mistakes, the biggest and greatest mistake this country ever made was electing former President George W. Bush.
— Bill Keefe

49ers Coach Jim Harbaugh Bashes Reporter For Questions About Kyle Williams
SFGate.com San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kyle Williams took a lot of hate from many fans a...
With that mistake now officially in the past, one reporter decided that it was still necessary to talk about the matter.
This reporter, from the Bay Area, decided tot ask about Williams' fumbling problem as he will most likely start as returner for Week 1 with Ted Ginn Jr. out.
49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh wasn't pleased.
"We don't, we don't … why'd you bring that up?" he said, via Mat Barrows of the Sacramento Bee. "Why would we be talking about that? When is enough enough?"
"I should ask you, why did you bring that up?" Harbaugh said, staring down the reporter. "Why do you continue to ask that question? What is the reasoning?"
It was a big mistake by the reporter asking it. You simply just put it behind. No reason to bring it back up with a completely new NFL season underway.

Suns hire McDonough as next GM
Published May 7, 2013 12:12 pm
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Phoenix • The Phoenix Suns have hired Ryan McDonough as their new general manager.
He replaces Lance Blanks, who was fired on April 22 after failing to make the playoffs the past three seasons.
The 33-year-old McDonough spent the previous 10 seasons with the Boston Celtics, including the past three as assistant general manager.
As assistant GM, he worked with president of basketball operations Danny Ainge and was principally responsible for draft evaluations of college and international players.
McDonough's father, the late Will McDonough, was a long-time columnist for the Boston Globe. His brother, Sean, is an announcer for ESPN and another brother, Terry, is the former director of player personnel for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

But his perfect life is shattered when three jealous friends conspire to destroy him. Falsely accused of a political crime, Dantès is locked away for life in the infamous Chateau d'If prison.

For Edmond Dantes, life couldn't be better. At 19, he is soon to be captain of his own ship and about to be married to his true love, Mercedes. But his life is suddenly turned upside down when on his wedding day he is arrested. Without a fair trial, he is condemned to solitary confinement in the miserable Chateau d'If.

"Excellent story superbly narrated"
An adventure story primarily concerned with themes of hope, justice, vengeance, mercy, and forgiveness, The Count of Monte Cristo focuses on a man who is wrongfully imprisoned, escapes from jail, acquires a fortune, and sets about getting revenge on those responsible for his imprisonment. However, his plans have devastating consequences for the innocent as well as the guilty.

"Great story, awful narrator."
Trust. Betrayal. Revenge. The Count of Monte Cristo is the quintessential masterpiece of Alexandre Dumas. In Edmond Dantes we find an early materialization of the modern superhero. He is a dashing young sailor imprisoned unjustly for treason. While in prison he meets a holy man who imparts to him all his wisdom. The "abbe" also divulges the profound secret of a hidden treasure. Dantes realizes that with such immense wealth, one could wreak a hateful vengeance on one's enemies.
The CliffsNotes study guide on Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo supplements the original literary work, giving you background information about the author, an introduction to the work, critical commentaries, expanded glossaries, and a comprehensive index, all for you to use as an educational tool that will allow you to better understand the work. This study guide was written with the assumption that you have read The Count of Monte Cristo.
Father of the novelist Alexandre Dumas, Alex Dumas has become, through his son's books, the model for a captivating modern protagonist: The wronged man in search of justice. Born to a black slave mother and a fugitive white French nobleman in Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti), Alex Dumas was briefly sold into bondage but then made his way to Paris where he was schooled as a sword-fighting member of the French aristocracy. He was only 32 when he was given command of 53,000 men, the reward for series of triumphs that many regarded as impossible, and then topped his previous feats by leading a raid up a frozen cliff face....
"Truth more unbelivable than fiction"
An epic literary adventure considered a classic around the world. The story centers around Edmond Dantes, a young sailor who finds himself arrested, accused of treason, and relegated to the bowls of the island fortress of Chateau d'If, all on his wedding day. The ensuing drama of his escape, revenge, and quest for the treasure of Monte Cristo is one reread by thousands every year.
"Entertaining performance"
El Conde de Monte Cristo, el audio libro dramatizado en espanol basado en la historia original de Alejandro Dumas, es una de las novelas de amor y venganza mas populares de todos los tiempos. Es la historia de Edmundo Dantes, joven marinero, quien es injustamente puesto prisionero por traicion. Despues de varios anos de prision, tras escapar, Dantes asume el rol del Conde de Monte Cristo para llevar a cabo su planeada venganza.
"Curioso. Muy bien ambientado."
The Count of Monte Cristo is an adventure novel by Alexandre Dumas.
Published in 1844, it is often considered one of the great thrillers of all time and, along with The Three Musketeers, Dumas' most popular work.
Falsely accused of treason, the young sailor Edmund Dantes is arrested on his wedding day and imprisoned in the island fortress of the Chateau d'If. After staging a dramatic escape, he sets out to discover the treasure of Monte Cristo and catch up with his enemies.
"Incredible value"
This radio dramatization of the classic movie originally aired on February 6, 1939.
"damage to recording spoils excellent play"
Orson Welles stars in this full-cast performance of Dumas' classic novel.
"Very Short"
Dumas' tale transports the listener back to the beginning of the 19th century. This Anglo-Canadian production of Alexandre Dumas' epic of torment and injustice is set against a backdrop of British triumph and French defeat. Napoleon languishes in exile, Russia breathes again, and one young man - the epitome of industriousness, sensitivity, decency - is flung into the nearest thing to an oubliette...the infamous Chateau d'If.
Il conte di Montecristo è uno dei più famosi romanzi di Alexandre Dumas. E' cnsiderato la sua opera migliore, fu finito nel 1844, e fu pubblicato nei due anni successivi come romanzo d'appendice, in una serie di 18 parti.
The Count plays a dangerous game, turning his dark arts to the destruction of these powerful men, and even their innocent children are caught up in his byzantine schemes. Will the innocent perish along with the guilty? And what of Edmond Dantes? Will he find redemption, or will he be swept up and destroyed by the very forces he has invoked?
"A Masterpiece Destroyed"
Dumas udgav Greven af Monte Cristo som føljetonroman (1830-ernes og 40-ernes store dille) fra august 1844 til januar 1846. Den må i dag betragtes som en af de største klassikere, genoptrykt i utallige udgaver og filmatiseret gentagne gange og stadig uhyre populær. Er baseret på Poul Einer Hansens fine nyoversættelse i et letforståeligt moderne dansk, der bevarer romanens struktur, uden at beskære den for personer eller scener, i en strammere, mere økonomisk fortælleform.
"Fantastisk historie"
Starring Orson Welles, Anges Moorehead, and Ray Collins, The Count of Monte Cristo is a tale of revenge and retribution. Edmond Dantès, a young, energetic sailor, is falsely accused of treason on his wedding day and incarcerated in the forbidding Château d'If. His escape and ultimate revenge on those who wronged him makes this one of the most thrilling stories in French literature, as compelling now as when it was first published in 1846.
Winner of the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Biography. Who was the real Count of Monte Cristo? In this extraordinary biography, Tom Reiss traces the almost unbelievable life of the man who inspired not only Monte Cristo, but all three of the Musketeers: the novelist's own father. Born in St Dominigue in 1762, the son of a French nobleman and a sugar plantation slave, General Alexandre Dumas did not have an auspicious start in life.
"Story of the original musketeer!"

Bordered by mature trees and a small lake, this spectacular house creates feelings of ultimate relaxation and privacy, whilst its contemporary design juxtaposes superbly with its beautifully rural location, on the south coast of England. The site is accessed via a private forest lane. Its overtly linear approach extends into the plot and creates the conceptual main axis. A second axis, perpendicular to the former, intersects and leads towards a hot tub and the lake. These axes are defined by timber paths and large stone walls that begin in the garden and run through the house and out the other side. The walls continue through the plot, to link a further a separate office and gym space at the bottom of the garden. These dividing walls create four separate garden experiences, the first of which being the entrance space. The second is a calm pebbled Japanese herb garden to the rear of the house linking the separate office. The third is a private enclosed wooded space dedicated to the kitchen and master bedroom above. The fourth is a large open expanse of tropical plants and lawn reaching down to the lake, reflecting the open plan living space that looks over it. A white box, sat on top of the axial walls, gives the upper sleeping floor a light weight image and appears to be floating above the stone axes. It contains the five bedrooms, all with large glazed areas. This provides beautiful tree top views of the lake and surrounding woodland, creating a sense of being nestled amongst the tree canopy whilst lying in bed. The ground floor living areas, nestled under the box and formed by the axis, are enclosed with large sliding glazed panels that provide a seamless link between the internal and external. The terrace further accentuates this, with the use of a single style of floor tile inside, that extends outside through flush thresholds to really give a true sense of 'inside/outside living'.

I like EJṀs and StefanoṀs father, son relationship too, but I also like them when they are at odds with each other. ItṀs not like itṀs the first time it has happend; EJ betrayed Stefano for Sami in the past and he turned his back on him when the truth about Sydney came out. So I think it is with in their relationship to fight but then reconcile. I think it would have been strange if EJ hadnṀt payed him back for turning his back on him. The only thing that might speaking against them reconcile this time is JMṀs age and that he might retire soon.

Notes: Kentucky not worried about respect
Andrew Skwara
Rivals.com College Basketball
Kentucky must go to the computers to get respect these days.
Despite putting together an 11-game winning streak and starting out 4-0 in the SEC, the No. 25 Wildcats (14-3) didn't enter the AP poll until Monday. They are not ranked in the latest coaches' poll.
If that bothers the Wildcats, it isn't showing.
"We are not worried about the rankings," Kentucky senior forward Bobby Perry told Rivals.com. "I feel people out there know about us. We lost three games early on and that set us back, but we are putting ourselves in position to put a r�sum� together that will get us a bid to the NCAA Tournament."
Perry and his teammates have a good reason not to be concerned. It's called the Ratings Percentage Index (which is important in determining bids and seeding in the NCAA Tournament).
How do you explain such a disparity?
It starts with the Wildcats' strength of schedule (a major factor in the RPI), which is ranked third toughest in the nation. Their three losses have come to a pair of top-five teams (No. 3 UCLA and No. 4 UNC) and another ranked in the top 25, No. 17 Memphis. They have beaten three teams out of conference with legitimate NCAA Tournament hopes: DePaul, Indiana and Massachusetts.
The Wildcats have also made significant strides since the Maui Invitational in November - where they gave up an average of 78 points a game.
Opponents are also shooting a league-low 36 percent from the field and averaging just 62.1 points a game against the Wildcats. The Wildcats are also shooting 48 percent from the field, a bump of six percent over last year's club.
Perry credits those improved stats to team chemistry. The team never seemed to jell last season with point guard Rajon Rondo at the helm. Rondo left school early and was drafted in the first round.
"We are really communicating well right now," Perry said. "The chemistry on this team is wonderful. We really bonded over the summer and we've stayed together. Everything seems to be clicking just right and everybody seems to be finding the right spots."
The steady improvement of junior center Randolph Morris has also played a major role in UK's recent success. Morris has emerged as one of the nation's top big men, averaging 16.4 points and 8.1 rebounds a game. He has already racked up seven double-doubles.
"Randolph has really come into his own," Perry said. "It's a great asset to have a big man who can go out each and every night and give you big numbers. He opens things up on offense and defense."
If Morris continues to post those numbers - and if the players keep displaying solid teamwork � the wins should keep coming and the team will climb in the polls.
Two Eagles Grounded
Boston College's ACC title dreams took a major setback on Wednesday when the school announced center Sean Williams and forward Akida McClain were dismissed from the team for violating team rules.
The 6-10, 235-pound Williams led the league with an average of 5.0 blocks a game, which ranked third nationally. He was also averaging 12.1 points and 7.0 rebounds a game.
McClain only saw action in one game.
The responsibility of replacing Williams will fall on 6-10, 255-pound John Oates (4.9 ppg, 4.1 rpg) and 6-6, 245-pound Shamari Spears (8.4 ppg, 6.3 rpg).
Williams and McClain had both been suspended twice earlier.
The Eagles (13-4) are off to a 5-0 start in the ACC.
Trivia Question
Four of the top five players on the Division-I all-time assist list hail from ACC schools. Can you name each one? (Answer at the bottom).
Mr. Versatility
Providence sophomore forward Geoff McDermott doesn't get nearly as much attention as Florida's Corey Brewer and Mississippi State's Jamont Gordon, but he might be even more versatile.
McDermott put together a triple-double in a 101-92 win over Harvard, scoring 12 points, pulling down 11 rebounds and dishing out 10 assists.
Quick Hits
Stat Line of the Week: Washington State's Kyle Weaver put together the first triple-double in school history in the Cougars' 71-68 loss at Stanford. Weaver scored 14 points, grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds and added 10 assists.
Trivia Answer: Duke's Bobby Hurley (1,076 assists), N.C. State's Chris Corchiani (1,038), North Carolina's Ed Cota (1,030) and Maryland's Steve Blake (972).
