We present a parallel recognition algorithm for bipartite-permutation graphs. The algorithm can be executed in O(log n) time on the CRCW PRAM if O(n3/log n) processors are used, or O(log2 n) time on the CREW PRAM if O(n3/log2 n) processors are used. Chen and Yesha (1993) have presented another CRCW PRAM algorithm that takes O(log2n) time if O(n 3) processors are used. Compared with Chen and Yesha's algorithm, our algorithm requires either less time and fewer processors on the same machine model, or fewer processors on a weaker machine model. Our algorithm can also be applied to determine if two bipartite-permutation graphs are isomorphic

A few weeks ago, CitySeen wrote of rumours that were surfacing in local media about Jet Li's supposedly impending retirement. According to Oriental Daily News, his friends and family said the star had become disillusioned with the movie business. It said that Li was going to wander to the so-called 'Shangri La' region of Tibet and become a Buddhist monk.
Well, it turns out to have been way off the mark - but the rumours were not completely without foundation. At a recent press conference in Beijing, Li denied he was going to turn into a monk but said he was in talks to make a movie called A Monk in New York. New York, Tibet, hey, what's the difference?

Nickel Sulfide/Nitrogen-Doped Graphene Composites: Phase-Controlled Synthesis and High Performance Anode Materials for Lithium Ion Batteries
Phase-controlled nickel sulfide (Ni3S4 and NiS1.03) nanoparticle (NP)/nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) composites are prepared through a facile one-pot hydrothermal process. The composites show ultrahigh capacity retentions of 98.87% and 95.94% for Ni3S4/NG and NiS1.03/NG electrodes, respectively, as anode materials for lithium ion batteries.

St. Jude Medical Center Performs Its First Nerve Repair Surgery Following Prostatectomy Using Avance(R) Nerve Graft Technology From AxoGen, Inc.
I guess this is great news for those who want a real rev generating company that is FDA approved, doing revs in nerv regen, and is not all futuristic hype and delays. Realistically priced too, and NOT PUMPED! Keep your #$%$, hired pumpers!
Sentiment: Strong Sell
I dont believe this is the same concept or technology as NVIV. It looks like this company is taking cadaver nerve (allograft) and implanting it for peripheral nerve regeneration. This won't work in the spinal cord. Also peripheral nerves do regenerate if they are severed and reconnected. Not the same in the case of a spinal cord injury. NVIV does have something unique here in my humble opinion.
Sentiment: Strong Buy

From X-Men, we know that Wolverine was Canadian but in one movie (I think the X-Men Origins) why did he (and his brother) participate in American Revolutionary War and American Civil War on the side against British and Confederacy?
From X-Men, we know that Wolverine was Canadian but in one movie why did he participate in American Revolutionary War?
Wolverine and Sabretooth were not in the American Revolution. They were born in the mid 1800s, nearly a century after the Revolution (1775-1783). The first scene of X-Men Origins: Wolverine takes place in 1845, when Wolverine is seemingly a pre-teen (typical age mutant powers emerge).
The American Civil on the other hand, did have James and Victor fighting in it. For the most part, they are both nomadic, hot blooded, strong males of fighting age, and a war would call to them like flames to a moth. They are the eternal soldier type.
Even though they are Canadian by birth *, as evident by their participation in most major wars (American Civil War, The Great War/WW1, WW2, Vietnam), they want to be in the middle of a fight. That said, Canadians were plentiful in the American Civil War, due to multiple issues. Their presence is not unrealistic.
Of course, Wolverine, in the comics and cartoons, has a long history of being a soldier, being seen helping Captain America liberate Jewish prisoners (including Magneto/Erik Lesner) during World War 2 multiple times. Even then, he's wearing Canadian flags. Canada, like always, has participated in most major wars, without much notice, due to smaller contingents. Canadians were present in WW2 and even modern day Iraq/Afghan "wars".
*Note: Canada didn't exist as a nation at the time; it was still a group of separate British Colonies.
According to X-Men Origins: Wolverine (which is very loosely based on the Origins comic series), Wolverine was born James Howlett in Canada in the late 1830's. In 1845, he sees his father murdered by their groundskeeper, and that triggers his mutation to activate: bone claws, regeneration, etc. It's at this point that Howlett and his half-brother Victor Creed flee from Canada.
The two of them move down into the United States and decide to join the US military as, in essence, mercenary soldiers. Obviously, they were born much too late to have fought in the American Revolution. However, they did serve in the US military during the Civil War (as Union soldiers), both World Wars, and Vietnam. This would have given them steady work, food, shelter, etc., and would have fit well with the mutant powers they were trying to hide.
In the modern US military, the two of them would have been required to obtain legalized resident alien status (what most people call a "green card") to enlist, but that requirement hasn't always been quite so strict. It's estimated that:
were non-citizens. Remaining in the military through the end of the Vietnam War would probably have been a bit tricky, especially without proof of birth or anything like that, but we can suspend our disbelief a bit there and just assume the two of them figured out how to deal with their immortality by that point.

Simplifying Backups with Zmanda Recovery Manager
ZRM simplifies the full or incremental recovery of lost data. Using ZMC, you select a backup set to be restored and specify a MySQL server to which to restore. If you want to verify your data manually after recovery, ZMC provides an option to shut down the MySQL server after recovery is complete.
Another option is point-in-time recovery, which lets you restore data selectively. Using the Visual Log Analyzer in ZMC, you can perform incremental recovery by specifying a given point in time or a binary log position up to which you want to recover.
To test ZRM's recovery functionality, I successfully restored the backups created from earlier tests. I also successfully restored the quick snapshot raw backup image of my million-record table to my remote MySQL server.
Even though the ZMC interface is relatively easy to understand, you may need more information about a specific ZRM feature. Fortunately, ZMC provides context-sensitive on-line documentation through the Zmanda Network. Other helpful resources include the Zmanda Wiki, forums and blogs. Zmanda's active on-line Community is helpful and responsive.
Zmanda Recovery Manager provides a robust, open and cost-effective backup and recovery solution for organizations relying on MySQL for their critical data. ZRM simplifies an otherwise intricate process of backup and recovery by managing complex open-source utilities through its Web-based console.
As with any evolving product, there always is room for improvement. Here are some of my suggestions: a smarter graphical installer that automates post-install tasks done manually today; a more sophisticated management console that enhances the user experience; snazzier graphical reports (think Google Analytics); and a ZRM virtual appliance (VM image) for easier deployment in virtualized environments.
Try out ZRM's open-source Community edition today. You'll see how effortless MySQL backup and recovery can be.
Q&A with Zmanda
We talked with Chander Kant, CEO and cofounder of Zmanda, as well as Paddy Sreenivasan, VP of Engineering and cofounder of Zmanda, about ZRM, open-source backup and growing an Open Source community.
AS: Why should customers look at Zmanda Recovery Manager and open source?
CK: Although products based on open source and open standards almost always come with lower initial cost of acquisition, the greater benefit is achieved over the life cycle of the deployment. Inherent freedom provided by open products enables IT managers to lower the cost of ongoing maintenance significantly. Let's say your organization is using an operating system that is popular today, but becomes out of favor in a few years' time. It is possible, actually probable, that a proprietary backup vendor will withdraw support for this unprofitable operating system. This would force you to make a choice between either using some ad hoc mechanism to back up that system or to replace the system with a different OS—both costly choices. Open Source communities are known to provide support for older (and sometimes obscure) platforms. Furthermore, the source code is available to compile or recompile the software for a particular operating system.
Future profitability of proprietary software vendors depends on locking in customers to their proprietary formats and components. For example, if you use proprietary backup products to write to a tape, the only way to recover data from that tape is to use the same (and in most cases, the exact version of the) product. If you were restoring from the tape seven years from now, you'd better have the specific version of the product lying around with a valid license or be ready to pay a premium price to recover your own data. In contrast, data backed up with Zmanda's products is always in an open format. Customers can recover their data even without using our products (of course, it is easier to recover if they do use our products). Also, the data can be repurposed for other applications (such as e-discovery).
AS: How did you come up with the idea of building an open-source database backup solution?
CK: We are the leading open-source backup company. For any backup company to be interesting for customers, you need a good database backup story. For us, it was a clear choice: MySQL is the leading open-source database—we had to be the core backup solution provider for MySQL.
AS: Why did you start Zmanda? How did you come up with the name?
CK: The company was founded around the Amanda open-source backup community. But we always wanted to do more than Amanda (such as our ZRM product line). So, we flipped A to Z and came up with Zmanda. Our slogan is that we are the "A to Z of Backup".
AS: What are your plans to provide a VMware virtual image of ZRM?
CK: We are going to start offering a VM for the ZRM Community edition and see how the adoption goes. We do think it makes a lot of sense for ZRM to be shipped as a virtual appliance.
AS: Can you tell us what's on ZRM's road map?
CK: ZRM is growing in multiple directions. ZRM will be supported natively on Windows in an upcoming release. Today, you can back up MySQL running on Windows; however, you need a Linux server to run the ZRM core engine. Also, ZRM will be expanded to support MySQL-based applications, such as SugarCRM, MediaWiki and so on. So, not only will ZRM be able to back up the underlying MySQL database, but it also will be able to back up the surrounding environment—for example, a SugarCRM administrator simply can push one button for overall backup and recovery.
AS: What Linux distributions are supported by ZRM today?
PS: ZRM supports practically all RPM-based distributions. We also support other platforms like Mandriva and FreeBSD in our Community edition. Although we do not have a graphical user interface and installer for these platforms, we do provide default configurations that will allow you to do backups right away.
AS: How large and active is ZRM's community?
PS: The ZRM community is a mix of thousands of developers and end users. ZRM is written in Perl, and its architecture is plugin-based. This encourages more contributions from MySQL DBAs. Our engineers monitor forums actively, and usually you can expect a response within a day. We see thousands of downloads each month, and the community is active in suggesting features and answering questions. We have had numerous contributions from ZRM users/developers.
Users or developers from the community can become involved with Zmanda in many ways. They can contribute to the wiki, post or answer questions on our on-line forums and, of course, contribute by trying the products, providing QA feedback and patches.
AS: How often can users expect a release of ZRM Enterprise edition or the ZRM Community edition?
PS: We do a release of the Enterprise edition once every 3–4 months. Usually a release has a combination of new features, new platforms supported and bug fixes. On the other hand, the Community edition has no fixed schedule. We have done 13 (major and minor) releases in about 24 months. Critical security bugs are fixed within 24 hours.
AS: What does Zmanda expect to gain by making an open-source Community edition of ZRM freely available?
PS: We are an open-source company. We believe in bringing the best of open source to the enterprise as well as contributing to open source to make it enterprise-ready. We gain a good understanding of MySQL DBA work flows and features needed. Of course, the Community edition is the proving ground for our features. And, it helps us recruit good engineers.
We have made significant contributions to open source. Our contributions are not just in development. We maintain source trees, a bug-tracking system and documentation, and we help evangelize ZRM using Webinars, presentations, whitepapers and contributing to books.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
In this gorgeous coffee-table book, an offshoot of the Discovery Channel/ BBC series of the same name, zoologist and BBC producer Fothergill takes readers on a kaleidoscopic tour of the flora, fauna and natural history of the Earth's poles, forests, plains, deserts, mountains and oceans. The series of jaw-dropping photographs starts with a view of Earth from the moon (and pointing out the obvious but shocking fact that no one has been able to see it live since the 1972 Apollo 17 mission). Other images reveal the astonishing variety of geology and life around the globe, including an emperor penguin eyeing an enormous jade-green iceberg; a grove of ancient monkey puzzle trees on the slopes of the Andes; a wild (and endangered) two-humped Bactrian camel strolling with her calf across the Gobi Desert; a long-furred, red-eyed gelada (a kind of primate) perched on a cliff in the Ethiopian highlands; a cave explorer parachuting into Mexico's 1,100-foot-deep Cave of Swallows; a blimplike nerpa (the only known fresh-water seal) swimming through Siberia's Lake Baikal; and the lacy undulations of the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta captured by satellite. The book's only drawback is its large size and heavy weight, which makes for cumbersome reading. (Mar.)

From Booklist
This is the companion volume to the BBC/Discovery Channel series I^ Planet Earth, narrated by renowned naturalist and pioneer of the nature documentary Sir David Attenborough and produced by Fothergill. The two paired up to create the series I^ The Blue Planet (1998), the first natural history documentary presented in high definition, and now Fothergill presents a collection of more than 400 photographs that focus on what is most wonderful about the living world. He takes readers on a whirlwind tour from the frozen poles to the great forests, across the Great Plains and great sands, up to the mountain heights, down into the underworld, into fresh water and rain forests, over to shallow seas and down to the ocean depths, capturing the wonders of plant and animal life. A superb wake-up call to protect the treasures of the planet that sustain, and enrich, us, I^ Planet Earth is a feast for the eyes and soul, presented with the best and latest technology.

Where many books about the natural world are filled with seeming hyperbole ("you can see this feature from space"), Planet Earth does its best to display the basis for those references by making the statement and showing the photographic evidence. As a result, this book makes a serious impression on the range of challenging environments on Earth, the reasons for each challenge, and examples of how animals and plants have successfully adapted to those challenges. Darwin would be envious that you can see more in one book than he could in a lifetime of study.
If you didn't see the television series or the DVD, here's the structure:
Whole Earth (overview of how the various regions differ and why)
Frozen Poles (the Arctic and the Antarctic and why they differ)
Great Forests (huge bands of trees in temperate climes)
Great Plains (the semi-arid regions)
Grand Sands (extended deserts both hot and cold)
Mountain Heights (the highest peaks and their environments)
Underworld (caves)
Fresh Water (lakes and rivers)
Rainforests (tropical jungles)
Shallow Seas (Coral-inhabited areas)
Open Ocean Depths (the bulk of the seas)
Each section contains information about the geology, physics, and chemistry of the region's character and origins. A number of stories about the plants and animals that inhabit the areas are included.Read more ›
"The authors of [this] book (producers of the [Planet Earth TV] series) are extremely grateful to the [TV series'] production [the production team consisted of almost 25 people], post-production, and camera teams [the camera team consisted of more than 55 people] for their talent, dedication, and determination. The result of their hard work on this challenging series is not only obvious in the television programmes but in these pages. The stories they unearthed and the trips they organized were the inspiration for much of the text, and many of their unique images [or photographs] illustrate this book."
The above is found in the first paragraph of this book's acknowledgements section. According to this book's cover, this book is authored solely by Alastair Fothergill, one of the TV series producers. However, according to this book's title page, there are five more co-authors (all producers of the TV series) making it thus authored by six people altogether.
This book (a "New York Times" bestseller and endorsed by Oprah Winfrey) is supposed to be a "companion" to and a "mirror" of the TV series which "took four years to make [and was] filmed in more than 200 locations worldwide." However, don't get the idea that this book is simply a rehash of the TV series because it definitely is not.
This book consists of two outstanding features:
(1) exquisite, revealing, and unique colour photographs (of which I counted more than 360 captioned ones)
(2) text (which is quite comprehensive and informative)
To give the potential reader a "feel" for this book, I will give the chapter titles and a brief description.Read more ›
However, i still find it wonderful, and a great companion to the dvd series. Its more accessible for finding information on particular or isolated things.
Worth my money.

I love art. I am a self taught painter and It comes from within me since I was little. My parents would give me a pack of paper and markers and I was in heaven for hours. But as I grew up, I realized I loved all types of art. Sculptors, poetry, drawings, violin music and plays. I realized I enjoyed seeing the expression of art from others as much or even more than my own. I can share the artist's vision and expression. I become a violin player even though I cant play, I am suddenly an actress even though I don't act. I too share in your art. Because someday when I am old I may not be able to paint but as long others can, I still can too.
