Scientific researchers have complex computational workloads ranging from DNA sequence analysis to particle physics simulations. Regardless of the application, one major issue affects them all: procuring and provisioning cost-effective computation cycles. In typical scientific computing environments, there is a long queue to access shared infrastructure and purchasing dedicated, purpose-built hardware takes time and considerable investment.
Whether you are a doctoral student writing a thesis or a Pharmaceutical company performing ground breaking drug research, you should consider the following questions when evaluating where to run your applications:
- How quickly can I start running my applications?
- Can I parallelize my work to get it done faster?
- What level of elasticity (scaling up and down) is required for my application?
- How can I engineer my application to minimize the cost?
Spot Instances enable you to bid on unused Amazon EC2 capacity at whatever price customers choose. Customers whose bids exceed the Spot price gain access to the available Spot Instances and run as long as the bid exceeds the Spot Price. Historically the Spot price has been 50% to 93% lower than the on-demand price. Customers whose bids exceed the Spot price gain access to the available Spot Instances and run as long as the bid exceeds the Spot Price. Spot Instances work with other services like Amazon S3 and Amazon EMR to help you manage all of your compute needs.
Some example use cases that work well with Spot Instances include:
- Genome Sequence Analysis and Data Distribution
- Particle Physics Simulations
- Bioinformatics
- Molecular Modeling
- Artificial Intelligence Research
- Drug Discovery
- Scientific Collaboration and Centralized Data Management
AWS is designed to minimize the heavy lifting of setting up and managing your own IT infrastructure. You can get started with AWS by leveraging the AWS Management Console, a variety of third-party management tools, or the well-documented AWS web service APIs to manage and maintain your cloud infrastructure.
You pay only for the compute power, storage, and other resources you use, with no long-term contracts or up-front commitments.
AWS enables you to select the operating system, programming language, software tools, application platform, and other services you need. This eases the migration process for existing applications while preserving options to build new ones.
AWS enables you to increase or decrease capacity within minutes without waiting in line to get the resources you need. You can provision one, hundreds or even thousands of server instances - allowing you to speed up workloads by adding more instances and shut them down when you are finished.
Creates a common space where you and your collaborators can share data, results and methods.
AWS utilizes an end-to-end approach to secure and harden our infrastructure, including physical, operational, and software measures. For more information, see the AWS Security Center.
Spot Instances enable you to bid for unused Amazon EC2 capacity. Instances are charged the Spot Price, which is set by Amazon EC2 and fluctuates periodically depending on the supply of and demand for Spot Instance capacity. To use Spot Instances, you place a Spot Instance request, specifying the instance type, the Region desired, the number of Spot Instances you want to run, and the maximum price you are willing to pay per instance hour. To determine how that maximum price compares to past Spot Prices, the Spot Price history is available via the Amazon EC2 API and the AWS Management Console. If your maximum price bid exceeds the current Spot Price, your request is fulfilled and your instances will run until either you choose to terminate them or the Spot Price increases above your maximum price (whichever is sooner).
The following table displays the the Spot Price by instances type for the lowest priced Availability Zone (updated every 5 minutes).
Spot Instances can be requested using the AWS Management Console or Amazon EC2 APIs. To start with the AWS Management Console:
- Log in to the AWS Management Console, then click the "Amazon EC2" tab.
- Click on "Spot Requests" in the navigation pane on the left.
- Click on "Pricing History" to open a view of historical pricing selectable by instance type. This will help you choose a maximum price for your request. Pricing shown is specific to the Availability Zone selected. If no Availability Zone is selected, you will see the prices for each Availability Zone in the Region.
- Click on "Request Spot Instances" and proceed through the Launch Instance Wizard process, choosing an AMI and instance type. Enter the number of Spot Instances you would like to request, your maximum price and whether the request is persistent or not. After choosing your key pair and security group(s), you are ready to submit your Spot Instance request.
For detailed information on how to request Spot Instances through the Amazon EC2 API, see the Amazon EC2 API Reference in the latest EC2 Technical Documentation.
For a more detailed walk through of using Spot Instances and more information on how to get the most out of Spot Instances, please visit the Featured Documentation and Tutorials section.
Building or migrating an application to run on Spot Instances is easy. The sections below outline how to build, migrate, and test applications to be used with Spot Instances.
Building a New Application
If you have the ability to architect your application from scratch, we recommend that you spend some time reading the Common Architectures and Best Practices section of this web page that outlines many of the architectures we have seen other customers use with Spot Instances in the past.
Migrating an Existing Application
Many applications are already architected to be fault tolerant, so migrating your application to run on Spot instances may be fairly easy. During the migration process, we recommend integrating the following best practices:
- Track when Spot Instances Start and Terminate: Spot Instances start asynchronously and can be interrupted when the Spot price exceeds your bid price. So, it is important to track the state of your bids and instances. The simplest way to know the current status of your Spot Instances is to monitor your Spot requests and running instances via the AWS Management Console or Amazon EC2 API.
- Choose the Maximum Price for your Instance: Remember that the maximum price that you submit as part of your request is not necessarily what you will pay per hour, but is rather the maximum you would be willing to pay to keep it running. Use the Spot Price history via the AWS Management Console or the Amazon EC2 API to help you set a maximum price.
- Ensure your Application is Fault Tolerant: Because Spot Instances can be terminated without warning, it is important to build your applications in a way that allows you to make progress even if your application is interrupted. There are many ways to accomplish this, two of which include adding checkpoints to your application and splitting your work into small increments. Using Amazon EBS volumes to store your data is one easy way to protect your data.
Please also visit the Common Architectures and Best Practices section to see if there are any other specific tips related to your architecture.
Testing Your Setup
When using Spot Instances, it is important to make sure that your application is fault tolerant and will correctly handle interruptions. While we attempt to cleanly terminate your instances, your application should be prepared to deal with an immediate shutdown. You can test your application by running an On-Demand Instance and then terminating it suddenly. This can help you to determine whether or not your application is sufficiently fault tolerant and is able to handle unexpected interruptions.
Because Spot Instances can be terminated with no warning, it is important to build your applications in a way that allows you to make progress even if your application is interrupted. There are many ways to accomplish this, two of which are splitting your work into small increments (via Grid, Hadoop-based, or queue-based architectures) or adding checkpoints to you application. The sections below provide an overview of several commonly used architectures leveraged by existing Spot customers.
Apache Hadoop is an open source software framework that supports data-intensive distributed applications. It enables applications to work with thousands of nodes to process petabytes of data through two main components: (1) a fault‐tolerant, distributed storage system and (2) a technique called MapReduce that supports efficient, exhaustive analysis over massive distributed data sets. Hadoop is developed for commodity hardware, can store data with or without schema, and provides linear scalability at petabyte scale. Customers such as Backtype and Fliptop use Amazon Elastic MapReduce, a managed Hadoop service that simplifies Hadoop cluster provisioning, configuration, and management, along with Spot Instances to significantly reduce the cost of their large scale data processing.
Amazon Elastic MapReduce makes it easy to mix Spot Instances with On-Demand or Reserved Instances within the same data processing cluster. This reduces cost and accelerates processing time while removing the risk of cluster failure due to Spot market fluctuations. If Spot Instances are interrupted due to a change in the Spot Price, tasks running on those instances are simply added back to the data processing queue to be handled by the remaining On-Demand instances. Customers can either continue data processing with the reduced cluster size or dynamically add additional instances to the cluster to replace the interrupted instances.
Several example use cases that are ideal for using Spot Instances with Elastic MapReduce include applications in which the customer can scale out to increase the speed of execution, in which flexibility in the time of completion can be used to gain significant cost savings, persistent Hadoop clusters in which significant fluctuations in load require frequent resizing, and for reducing the cost of Hadoop application testing.
As an example, imagine we have a job that typically is executed with 4 On-Demand instances over 14 hours, which would normally cost $28. Now, imagine that we could add 5 additional Spot instances (because the job scales non-linearly) and the job is able to execute in 7 hours. The total cost to run the job would now cost $15.75, assuming that the Spot price was 90% less than the On-Demand price. By adding Spot instances, there would be a 50% savings on time and a 44% savings on cost as shown below:
Scenario #1: No Spot Instances
4 On-Demand Instances * 14 hrs * $0.50 = $28
Scenario #2: On-Demand with Additional Spot Instances
4 On-Demand Instances * 7 hrs * $0.50 = $14
5 Spot Instances * 7 hrs * $0.05 = $1.75
Total = $15.75
Time Savings: 50%
Cost Savings: ~44%
To learn more about Amazon Elastic MapReduce, please visit the Amazon Elastic MapReduce Web Page or the Amazon Elastic MapReduce Getting Started Guide.
Grids are a form of distributed computing that enables a user to leverage multiple instances to perform parallel computations. Customers, like Numerate and Scribd, use Grid Computing with Spot Instances because this type of architecture can take advantage of Spot Instance's built-in elasticity and low prices to get work done faster at a more cost-effective price.
To get started, a user will break down their work into discrete units called jobs, and then submit that work to a "master node". These jobs will be queued up, and a process called a "scheduler" will distribute that work out to other instances in the grid, called "worker nodes". Once the result is computed by the worker node, the master node is notified, and the worker node can take the next operation from the queue. If the job fails or the instance is interrupted, the job will automatically be re-queued by the scheduler process.
As you work to architect your application, it is important to choose the appropriate amount of work to be included in your job. We recommend breaking your jobs down into a logical grouping based on the time it would take to process. Typically, you will want to create a workload size less than an hour, so that if you have to re-process the workload it doesn't cost you additional money (you don't pay for the hour if we interrupt your instance).
Many customers use a Grid scheduler like Oracle Grid Engine or UniCloud to setup a cluster. If you have long running workloads, the best practice is to run the master node on On-Demand or Reserved Instances, and run the worker nodes on Spot or a mixture of On-Demand, Reserved, and Spot Instances. Alternatively, if you have a workload that is less than an hour or you are running a test environment, you may want to run all of your instances on Spot. No matter the setup, we recommend that you create a script to automatically re-add instances that may be interrupted. Some existing tools can help you manage this process like StarCluster.
To learn more about how to create your own Grid, please visit the StarCluster video tutorial or the Grid Computing Getting Started Guide. Or, try to launch our StarCluster CloudFormation template. Launch now!
Many customers, like DNAnexus, have built queue-based architectures, with the ability to handle the potential for a job to fail. Many of these types of applications can easily be extended to leverage Spot by integrating the Spot provisioning APIs.
As an example, imagine an application that leverages Amazon EC2 Spot Instances and Amazon SQS. The application has three SQS queues: To-Process, Processed, and Exception. Based on the depth of the queue, the master node will use the Spot provisioning APIs to scale up or down Spot Instance worker nodes. Alternatively, the Spot instance can be started as a persistent bid, so if it fails, it will automatically be restarted. Once a Spot instance is started, the application will determine which queues to leverage by reading from the user data passed into the instance at launched time or configuration stored remotely in Amazon SimpleDB or Amazon S3. Worker nodes running on Spot Instances will then select the next job from the To-Process queue and lock the job. Locking the job will prevent other worker nodes from trying to compute that same job until a specified amount of time passes or the job is completely processed. If the job is successfully processed, the worker node will post a reply with the results to the Processed queue where the master node can perform any additional logic. Alternatively, if the job fails to be processed because it takes too long or the worker node is interrupted, the job will be moved to the exception queue, enabling the master node to perform any additional specialized logic, like re-queuing the job. If the job failed because the Spot Instance went away, then the master node can also choose to start a new Spot Instances if necessary too.
When using a queue-based approach, ensure that processing a unit of work is idempotent (can be safely processed multiple times) to ensure that resuming an interrupted task doesn't cause problems.
To learn more about building similar architectures, please read the Building Scalable Amazon EC2 Applications with Amazon SQS Guide or visit the Amazon SQS & Amazon EC2 Job Processor example. Or, if you are interested in launching a template that manages the queue for you check out the Asynchronous Queue-Based Processing template. Launch now!
Depending on fluctuations in the Spot Price caused by changes in the supply or demand for Spot capacity, Spot Instance requests may not be fulfilled immediately and may be terminated without warning. In order to protect your work from potential interruptions, we recommend inserting regular checkpoints to save your work periodically.
One way customers like BrowserMob manage this interruption is by checkpointing your data. The best practice is to choose the maximum amount of time you are willing to re-process and checkpoint at least that frequently.
There are multiple methods to checkpoint your application, including:
- Amazon EBS: Customers map an additional Amazon EBS volume to their Spot instance, and output the state of their application to the volume on a regular basis. If you leverage this method, it is important to ensure your buffers are flushed on a regular basis, to ensure all state is on the Amazon EBS volume.
- Amazon S3: Amazon S3 is a durable store where customers can write data. If your application allows you to output results in the form of separate files as you process data, you could use Amazon S3 to store your results. Then, you can just pass around the bucket URL to any process that needs to read the results.
- Amazon RDS: If you need a structure data store, you can leverage Amazon RDS to store any of your results. Since Amazon RDS allows you to use MySQL or Oracle Databases, you can setup your query to not commit work until you explicitly issue a "commit" command. This method will ensure that you naturally rollback if the process is interrupted.
When using a checkpointing-based approach, ensure that your workload is idempotent between checkpoints so that your workload can be safely processed multiple times if you resume an interrupted task.

Summer is such a great time, a time for teachers to recuperate, and a time to be with friends that are rarely seen during the school year. Met a couple of friends week before last, and we talked for over four hours. We had been trying to get together since February and had a lot of talking to do. This week, I met a friend I hadn't seen in ages for coffee/tea, and she said they might have to post bankruptcy. We hadn't talked in months even though she is dear to me. It was great to catch up and talk for a couple of hours.
We had our neighbors over for pizza Thursday evening, and then a couple of friends came over last night. (We ate really healthy! She brought delicious chicken & veggie soup, and I made a mixed greens salad with baby portabella mushrooms and then a fresh fruit salad for dessert.) So, summer is a blessing because it offers more time to get together with friends and let them know how much they mean to you! It's a shame when life gets so busy that it's hard to get together with those you love!
When I was a child growing up, we knew all our neighbors. I wonder, however, if neighbors nowadays know each other as well as they did back when I was growing up. I don't think so. Back then, we knew nearly all our neighbors up and down the street and many on the streets on either side of ours as well. Now, we basically know our neighbors on both sides of our house (both are great neighbors, by the way), across the street, and a few others on our street and a few people on other streets in our neighborhood.
One thing that's sad to me is hearing about some people who don't even know their neighbors at all. It's great to have neighbors to be friends with, to watch out for each other's houses when gone, and to be there to help out when needed. One definition of "neighborhood" is friendliness appropriate to a neighbor (a feeling of neighborhood). Even though neighborhoods may change in dynamics, I hope the "feeling of neighborhood" never changes. So, one goal we have is to get to know even more of our neighbors.
Our principal at school shared this video, Life Vest Inside – Kindness Boomerang. This is really cool! "Pay it forward" or "pass it forward," either way works.
There are many charities out there from children's homes to health related ones and those dealing with health issues such as triangle direct media. With all of the good causes, everyone should be able to find something that tugs at their heartstrings. The ones that tug at our hearts the most happen to be children's homes and causes that help children. But for someone else, it might be health related causes, especially if they've had a friend or loved one affected by a certain health issue.
We viewed this 60 Minutes video at a Teacher In-service not long ago and found out that more than 16 million kids live in poverty. There are people right around us in our school neighborhood who are having hard times such as these, and many people all over the country are, in fact, due to the economy. People lose their jobs, they can't make their mortgage payments, they lose their homes, and then they find themselves homeless.
Many people (several that we know and some that we've heard about) have lost jobs and are either still looking for work or have taken a job for less pay and satisfaction. Here in the Metroplex, we see new stores opening but yet other stores are closing and going out of business.
Things are not getting better in the teaching job market. A teacher I work with every day said that her husband has been applying for jobs and applied for a certain teaching job recently where there were 700 other applicants for that one position. He is still looking for work. Two years ago, a substitute teacher who was looking for a teaching job said there were 400 applicants for one position for which she applied. A couple of years ago, a friend of mine who works in school administration in another district said they had over 2,000 applicants for their jobs posted. I have relatives in other states, and it's the same way there, too.
Churches are really good about helping those in their surrounding areas with free food and clothing, utility payments, finding places to live, etc. There are more and more people coming to church food pantries because they can't find work. Times are hard! Some people's situations can bring tears to your eyes.

You don't have to see your loudspeakers to enjoy great sound. Custom installation speakers are easily concealed within your home, yet offer a genuine alternative to conventional cabinet designs.
True, some hardened audiophiles still regard custom installation as a compromise too far, a convenience-first choice that automatically rules out any possibility of proper performance. There may have been something in this notion once, but it's an outdated perspective now. Properly designed and executed, an installed speaker can perform just as well as a more conventional design.
But before we delve into specifics, let's establish some basics first. Designed to be installed into your home's walls or ceiling, Custom installation speakers are purpose-developed to disappear into your décor. Once fitted – normally a job for a specialist installer, although not impossible for a competent DIYer – only each speaker's grille will be visible in your room, and these are paintable to make them even more discreet.
You won't see any trailing wires either, as all cabling will be hidden behind ceilings or walls when your speakers are installed. You can choose to hide your electronics too, either in a convenient cupboard or in another room altogether. The result is sound that, when compared to most conventional audio kit, seems to be coming from an almost-invisible system.
Custom Installation, proper performance
That's fine in theory, but is it really hi-fi? So long as the drive units, crossover and other core components are up to scratch, there's no reason why not.
Truth is, every type of speaker is compromised in some way or another. Conventional loudspeaker cabinets provide their drive units with the acoustic predictability of a defined physical constant – the cabinet itself – but they also interact with the properties of your listening space in specific ways. For example, place a very large loudspeaker in a small room, or too close to a nearby boundary, and you'll muddy its low-frequency output, impairing its timing and transient response. Place your speakers in unusual positions (for example, with one higher than the other) or fail to support them properly (especially important with bookshelf designs) and you'll further restrict their performance.
By comparison, mounting a Custom Installation loudspeaker flush with a wall or ceiling offers some real advantages. First, a loudspeaker mounted on a large surface is arguably more efficient at low frequencies than a cabinet-type speaker. Indeed, securing a speaker baffle into a rock-solid wall provides an exceptionally stable platform for its drive units to operate.
Second, aligning the drive unit flush with the ceiling or wall keeps it free of the baffle-generated diffraction effects that afflict a conventional cabinet speaker.
There are no edges or corners able to impact upon the drive units' operation – or those that are present are sufficiently far away as to have no discernible effect. You'll also find that the drive units are free of the typical back-reflection issues that can affect speakers when positioned close to a nearby wall.
Of course, some of those advantages raise their own problems. Installed speakers frequently have to fit into a limited space, which naturally has an impact upon the relative size of the drive units that can be used in each instance. Also, there's more variation over the precise nature of the structure into which an in-ceiling or in-wall speaker might be mounted. A masonry wall is an excellent location (as long as the speaker has an adequate volume of air behind it), but a plasterboard/timber 'stud' wall (or ceiling) is more challenging, in that it can vibrate in sympathy to the movements of the speaker, colouring and distorting the sound as a result. Specially developed back boxes help counter this problem, and are used to provide installed speakers with a constant physical volume from which to perform at their best.
A suitable solution for every home
So the theory behind Custom Installation is sound: what about the practice? There are two key categories of installed loudspeaker: in-wall and in-ceiling.
Broadly speaking, in-wall speakers are closer in character to a conventional pair of speakers. They're designed to be mounted at ear height, and because they tend to be installed in comparatively stiff, strong structures – walls – they can be bigger and heavier than their in-ceiling siblings. Of course, cutting an aperture for an in-wall speaker into a masonry wall is more of an undertaking than slotting it into a stud-type construction, but if you're building from new or having internal alterations carried out, it's less of an issue. If you or your architect plan any loudspeaker installation into your construction phase, it becomes no more challenging than fitting a new radiator.
This size advantage means if you've the space, the budget and the inclination, an in-wall speaker can be as performance-orientated as any good-quality floorstander. Bowers & Wilkins range-topping CWM8.3 is a true three-way design, its drive-unit complement including a Carbon Braced Tweeter plus a 5in Kevlar FST midrange drive unit and a pair of 7in carbon fibre reinforced Rohacell bass drivers. It's a truly high-end loudspeaker, albeit one that disappears from view.
By contrast, in-ceiling speakers tend to be lighter and smaller: rare indeed is the ceiling able to support a heavy full-range loudspeaker, and it's this constraint that most dictates the size and relative ability of in-ceiling products. As to performance, you'll find almost all in-ceiling designs ideal for use in multiroom music installations, and they also work well in a home cinema context.
Delivering true hi-fi performance from an in-ceiling speaker is more of a challenge, but by no means impossible. The key is to optimise high-frequency dispersion, simply because it's rare for listeners to be seated directly on-axis with the speakers. It's an issue that can be addressed in a variety of ways, from adjustable tweeters and variable driver equalization (allowing for a degree of 'aim' for high-frequency sounds) through to specific optimization of drive units to create a wider dispersion. Done correctly, as in our CCM8.5 model, the results can be every bit as satisfying as those available from a good pair of conventional speakers.
Now we've covered the basics of custom installation: next, we'll look at how different speakers from across our portfolio can be used to suit specific scenarios, including systems that use a mix of conventional and installed speakers.

The Charles River Speedway Headquarters
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Charles River Speedway complex was once one of Boston's most popular gathering places. Today, this historic community center at the intersection of Soldier's Field Road and Western Avenue sits mostly vacant. Under the purview of the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation's Historic Curatorship Program, the site will be rehabilitated and re-established as Speedway Headquarters. Soon, these historic grounds will once again serve as a center for the community and a gateway to recreation along the Charles River for residents of Allston, Brighton, and surrounding communities.

Learning Solutions 2016 Recap
The eLearning Guild always puts on a great show, and this year's Learning Solutions 2016 in Orlando, Florida was no exception.
We had a big Kineo presence this year, with a fully-staffed booth on the Expo floor that got a lot of action.
Our focus this year was the launch of ManagementPlus, our new solution geared towards developing skills of new front-line managers. Our booth was buzzing with great conversation and lots of interest as our team took people on tours of this new approach. You can find out more about ManagementPlus by signing up for one of our upcoming tours
Between booth duty, meetings and conversations with many of my clients who were at the show, and time running my own sessions, I didn't have a lot of time to check out more than a few of the 100+ concurrent sessions. But that doesn't mean I didn't learn nothing! Here's a rundown:
The opening keynote with Bill Nye the Science Guy was great fun and an inspiring presentation. End result? Encourage your kids to be curious!
Wednesday morning I ran a session on trends in "Elearning Today" that sparked some great conversation. I took a look back on the technologies of my first 20 years in the industry, with a look to what's current and how designers can be thinking about making the most of what's out there. My session was live-sketch noted by a professional artist. Very cool!
Our own Chip Cleary ran a session Wednesday afternoon called "Beyond the Event: Journeys to Demonstrated Knowledge". A lot of the design decisions and approaches he talked about in this session inform the approach we use in ManagementPlus – taking people on a journey over an event, building in deliberate and real-world practice, making results visible, and ensuring the involvement and accountability of the learner's manager.
Thursday morning, before the coffee had even kicked in, Chip and I led a morning buzz session on "Closing the Learning-Doing Gap." Morning Buzz sessions are informal conversations (no slides or presentations!). We had a great group of practitioners from a wide-range of industries, all thinking hard about how to ensure that we don't just keep sending people through learning events and then watch them fall off a cliff as they go back to the real-world. When we talk about closing the learning-doing gap, we're looking for ways to ensure that performance sticks and that people really are equipped to get the work done they need to back on the job.
Thursday afternoon I participated in my new favorite eLearning Guild tradition: "Ignite! Meme-ing the Innovative World of Learning". Picture me, Jane Bozarth, David Kelly and Jeanette Campos giving six minute talks using only meme images as our slides. We had a packed house with much laughter ensuing. At the end of the session, we ran a caption contest where participants had to come up with their own winning eLearning themed meme captions for a series of slides. Taking an in-the-moment approach, we used Umu as an on the fly audience participation/contest tool. Again, much laughter and creativity!
And so I ran from the Ignite session right on over to DemoFest. DemoFest is a real highlight of any Guild conference. Picture a packed ballroom with more than 50 teams sharing current elearning projects and design work. Chip and I talked for about two hours straight as we took people on an indepth tour of our ManagementPlus pilot program that we ran with City & Guilds. Talk about a long day! Because I was talking myself, I didn't have the chance to see any of the other projects on display. I'm looking forward to the Guild's Best of DemoFest showcase on April 13th to see what I missed.
So, yeah. It was an exhausting few days, but exhilarating and fun as always!
Want more on Learning Solutions 2016? Be sure to peruse David Kelly's curated listing of backchannel resources from the conference.

Next Week on Off The Map ...Steve Marsi at . Comments
Practicing medicine has never been wilder.
In our series premiere review, we gave mostly positive marks to Off the Map, the new medical drama from Grey's Anatomy scribes Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers and Jenna Bans.
What did you think of it? Did it follow the Grey's Anatomy template too much (or not enough)? Are you excited to get to know the Off the Map cast better in coming weeks?
The doctors will soon be put to the test by an anaconda (really) and other challenges unique to their surroundings. More believable than Izzie saving a deer in Seattle, right?
Next week's episode title? "Smile. Don't Kill Anyone." Words to live by. Tell us what you think of the new series and take a look at ABC's promo for next Wednesday's installment:

On any given day there are more than 12 million items listed for auction at eBay, the world's largest online trading community. In the year 2002, almost $15 billion worth of merchandise, in more than 638 million individual auctions, was traded over eBay. That's $50 million a day—or $579 every second.
So who's making all that money?
While most eBay users are simple hobbyists, a surprisingly large number of users sell enough items to actually make a living from their eBay auctions. Officially or not, these users are running eBay businesses. They purchase inventory, market their products, collect payments, and ship merchandise, just like an Amazon.com or L.L. Bean does. They're businesses, pure and simple, that operate on and through the eBay auction service.
Does the prospect of running your own business, from the comfort of your own home, appeal to you? Do you think you can sell with the best of them and make enough from your eBay auctions to support yourself, either part-time or full-time? If so, then you should consider launching your own eBay business.
What do you need to know to make it on eBay? More than you think. You need to determine what kind of business you want to run, write an instructive business plan, establish an effective accounting system, set up a home office, obtain starting inventory, arrange initial funding, and establish an eBay presence.
And that's before you sell a single item.
Once you start selling, you have the entire auction management process to deal with. You have to list items for sale, manage your inventory, correspond with winning bidders, handle customer payments, deal with deadbeat customers, and pack and ship all those items you sell. To be truly successful, you need to do all this as efficiently as possible; you'll need to automate those repetitive tasks, manage your costs, and find a way to increase the success rates of the auctions you run.
As you can see, there's a lot of work involved in managing the day-to-day operation of a high-volume business. After all, running a successful online business isn't quite as simple as listing a few items for sale on eBay. Fortunately, you don't have to reinvent the wheel. You're not the first person to dream about running their own eBay business, so you might as well learn from others who've already done it.
Which is where this book comes in.
Absolute Beginner's Guide to Launching an eBay Business shows you everything you need to know to launch and run your own business, using eBay auctions to sell your merchandise. I don't profess to know everything there is to know about managing a successful eBay business, but I can definitely help you get your business off the ground. All you have to do is follow the instructions and advice between these two covers, and before you know it, you'll be selling—profitably—on eBay. Just be prepared for a lot of work; the more you sell, the more work is involved—and, of course, the more money you'll make!

Poems and prayers
A prayer becomes a poem
while cathedral bells
learn to swing from boys
Recommended: Could you pass a US citizenship test?
who leap and fall
on each long rope that draws
in thundering melody.
Boys' laughs are lost in jaws
of bells. Such Sunday spree
all spires and gargoyles share.
When boys' leaps make hearts ring
a poem becomes a prayer.

The unexpected challenges and experiences I've had in my life have inspired me to look at my past as stories that color (influence & inform) where I am now and whom I am becoming. To understand and change how these stories color my choices, I would need to begin diving into self-inquiry and expressing myself creatively through painting, writing, meditation, and visionary imagination.
What I discovered was...
These realizations from my journey has filled me with a desire to help women shift their awareness of how they see their stories coloring their present and future choices, shift the energy with creative art expression (no experience necessary), and begin living life with more ease. It is what fuels my desire to work with you.
"An Artist, afraid to make the first mark to transform a blank canvas to a work of art. A Writer, afraid to write the first word to transform the blank page into a poem or story. So it is, for anyone taking the first step to transform their life.
Life is creativity in action. With it comes fear. Face the fear. Release self-imposed limitations. Consciously create a new life experience."

Good news for Korea and Myanmar. Myanmar is anticipated to be a major investment destination for Korean companies. Korean Air, realizing this trend, has launched the first non-stop flight from Korean to Yangon, Myanmar. The flight will commence in early September of this year. The flight time will, thus, be reduced from 10 hours to 6 hours.
If the flight is well subscribed, expect Asiana Air to quickly follow suit.
Sean Hayes, IPG's Co-Chair of the Korea Practice Team, may be contacted at: firstname.lastname@example.com. IPG is engaged in projects for Korean and international clients in Myanmar and much of Southeast and East Asia.

How do I know if I actually have the Win32/Small.CA virus?
Hi hi all and thanks in advance for taking the time to read this. I hope I can get some help with this as well as help persons who also need help with this. I had posted this same message on TomsHardware.com but to no avail, I got no responses so I hope SevenForums can be more help.
So Friday I restarted my computer, relogged and got a message from Action Center saying " Remove the Win32/Small.CA virus ". Now it offered no solution, it just gave me a link to "learn more about it" and took me to a Microsoft page which told me to use a program called Microsoft Safety Scanner.
Before using it I ran a Live Update for my AV (Norton 360) then did a Full System scan, detected nothing, I then restarted my computer into Safe mode and ran another Full system scan.
I should mention that whilst I was in Normal mode doing a Full Scan I was reading about this virus and how Antiviruses do not detect it and much less can't remove it so I decided fine, I'll check out the Manual removal I keep seeing mentioned. So here's the thing; majority of the guides say to stop the Win32/Small.CA processes in Task Manager and that it is called " random.exe " I saw no such process, I saw some say, stop the Win32/Small.CA related processes, but how am I suppose to know those?
I checked Task Manager in Normal and Safe mode, just my processes and All Users processes, and got nothing. Some guides said go to Control Panel and look for Win32/Small.CA in the Programs and Features and remove it there, I saw nothing. I even showed all hidden folders and files, even the important ones that should always remain hidden, nothing. I even went into my Registry to find the file in the Run folder but still, nada.
Also, I downloaded and ran a scan with AdwCleaner and I have added the results as an attachment. Actually I added two, I thought I lost the first one...And after the Scanning and Cleaning, it deleted my Yahoo Toolbar.
So my question is, does this mean I don't have Win32/Small.CA on my system, or am I missing something?
Ah yes, Action Center automatically archived the message. So I dunno what that's about either.

Yours seems to be a common problem, its shown up in many A/V threads, Avast, etc. Some flag it as a false positive due to the way Action Center checks for malware/virus infections. Action Center itself isn't an A/V.

These unique finds (no plain black and white banners here!) will create a celebration worthy of this milestone.
Graduation Photo Booth Props
Make sure you'll get plenty of pictures of the graduate (and all her friends) by setting up a DIY photo booth at the party. This set comes complete with 16 assorted paper props—from graduation caps to pearl necklaces to thought bubbles—for guests to pose with.
To buy: $25 for 16 props, thepropmarket.etsy.com.
Graduation Cupcake Toppers
Rather than bake one big cake, make (or buy) cupcakes so guests can graze at their leisure. This set of toppers (six black glitter graduation caps and six "2016" cutouts in the color of your choice) will help even the store-bought variety to stand out on the dessert table.
To buy: $10 for 12, decorateyourbigday.etsy.com.
Party Cups
Sure, plastic cups are convenient… but they don't have to feel quite so disposable. These decorative party cups will help you throw an over-the-top graduation bash that's still easy to clean up after the fact. The set includes lids and coordinating paper straws, too.
To buy: $22 for 12, partycupmedley.etsy.com.
Personalized Confetti
Whether tucked inside the invitations or sprinkled throughout the buffet table, this confetti will give your fete even more personality. The décor comes in black and gold, but can be customized with your own duo of colors (we suggest his school colors).
To buy: $12.50, classicbanners.etsy.com.
Graduation Chalkboard Printable
Family members and friends will love this personal touch, which offers a little glimpse into the grad's past, present, and future. Simply have the grad answer the prompts, send them to the seller, choose colors and size, and you'll receive a high-resolution file to print at your local photo counter.
To buy: $20, redmorningstudios.etsy.com.
Graduation Photo Banner
Instead of the typical "congrats grad!" banner, choose one that's a little more personal. This fun piece of party décor features a spot to paste a 4-by-6-inch photo from each year of school leading up to college. Customize with up to two colors.
To buy: From $27, blueberrysprinkles.etsy.com.
Grad Libs Graduation Party Game
Once you purchase this digital file, you'll be able to print as many copies of this fun, graduation-inspired version of Mad Libs as you wish. Place a copy of the game (and pencils, of course) at each table setting, so guests can leave some silly advice for the graduate.

My Go to Trail Runner
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 10.5
- Height: 5'10"
- Weight: 175lbs
I have worn these Salomons for the past year and I have absolutely loved them. I have worn them in multiple 50k's and a 50 miler and they held up great for both of those distances. My dad also uses these in his 100 mile races and they rock for him. These are slightly narrow, so if you have wider feet, I would recommend you get some Altra Lone Peaks.
Very nice shoes!
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
These shoes look pretty cool. They are comfortable and lightweight.
nice underfoot, fit not quite dialed

I've really enjoyed taking this shoe out in the New England hills this fall, and with about 120mi. on these in the last two months I can say they've earned a place in my dry-season quiver. Right out of the box they worked extremely well to fit the gap opened by a few Pearl Izumi trail shoes that I'd blown out and were (gasp) irreplaceable. On runs from 4-12 miles the Sense Pro's really earned their keep, though much longer than that, especially when there's some dirt road or doubletrack mixed in, the protection isn't quite enough. I was originally hoping to run in this shoes at distances up to 50kms for training and racing, but given my weight and imperfect biomechanics I think I'll hold them for shorter distances.
All of the shoes in the Sense line feel wicked fast on buffed-out singletrack, and the drop in the Sense Pro's puts you up on your toes both uphill and down. They're wonderful for tempo workouts and just focusing on form. The heel, being a little stiffer, isn't quite as forgiving when I over-stride. The fit, however, isn't quite as dialed as in the S-Lab Sense or Wings -- not sure why this is. My foot slips a bit when I get onto steeper, more technical downhills, although the Contagrip rubber (even with the small lugs) is very tacky and useful on technical, steep ground.
As a comparison, these do find a good home in the rotation, somewhere alongside the old Montrail Rogue Fly/Racer and the Pearl Izumi N1's. Perhaps the shoe they feel closest to is the old Brooks Green Silence, or the Saucony road flats of late.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I recently purchased these shoes and so far I have no complaints. I have gone trail running 3 times for 5+ miles and my feet felt great afterwards. The additional toe box is perfect for my wider feet. It snowed in the mountains the other day and I was running through the mud and slush and once the trail cleared up, the shoes dried quickly. I have had several pairs of running shoes and I have to say I'm always really impressed with Salomon.
I'd Buy 'Em Again
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Comfy, grippy, and supportive. Fit just like every pair of Salomons I've ever worn. Quite nice.
Love the shoes
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Height: 6'0"
- Weight: 185lbs
These are great shoes. The comfort is great and support has been really good. The heel could be a bit stiffer but overall pretty good. The soles have good grip on trails. They are true to size and have a nice width it the toe box.
Sense Pro 2
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 9.5
- Height: 5'10"
- Weight: 160lbs
60 miles in and my feet are happy. Mostly run SoCal fire roads and groomed single track. Backcountry shipped fast.
Be like the wind and flow with the trail
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 9.5
- Height: 5'10"
- Weight: 165lbs
This season I've decided to convert my ski touring mentality to the trails. That being said, a trail run is only as good as the kicks on your feet - with ill fitting or bulky shoes I feel hampered down, or in pain.
These fit like a glove out of the box - perfect sizing - i wear a 9.5, bought a 9.5 - fits perfect.
The closure/lacing is simple and hassle free - tighten em up, tuck away the closure and you wont have to deal with it until you are back at home/car. Wont untie, or tangle, and keeps closed/tight the whole way.
These things have a little drop which is great for the uphill, but they are not bulky by any means. The feel really low profile and glide along the trail.
I'm beginning to see the pleasure in the whole trail running thing, primarily thanks to these shoes.
Another solid trail shoe from Salomon
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 12
- Height: 5'10"
- Weight: 170lbs
I recently purchased these shoes and I'm surprised there weren't reviews posted yet so I figured I'd share my thoughts…
This is my 5th or 6th pair of Salomon's. For me, Salomon's Sense line of shoes fit my feet perfectly and feel the way running shoes should. The Sense Pro 2's definitely are my favorite so far. I purchased these shoes b/c i'm retiring my Salomon Sense Mantra's, after about 600 miles of service. I really loved my Mantra's b/c of the fit, feel, and impressive durability. I chose to go with the Sense Pro 2 b/c of its similarities to the Mantra. The Sense Pro 2 is similar but has key differences that make it a better shoe in my opinion.
First I want to note that I've put just over 40 miles in these shoes so far. I mostly run rolling single track trails with plenty of roots with some granite and sandstone throughout. These shoes have a great ride with softer feel when compared to the Mantra. The toe box seems almost the same as the Mantra, maybe slightly more snug. My first run, ~7 miles, produced 2 blisters. One on my small toe and one just behind the ball of my foot at the front end of the arch from the endo-fit feature of the shoe. This definitely surprised me b/c I rarely get blisters. Luckily, this has not happened since.
I really like the new tread pattern on the Sense Pro 2. Although I mostly run on trails, occasionally I'll run on stretches of pavement between trails. The new tread pattern is not noisy at all on the pavement and b/c of the increased size, they will definitely resist wear. Although I didn't have durability issues with the Mantra's, the Sense Pro 2 seems like they will be better.
Overall, these shoes feel amazing when trail running while providing a secure fit for technical trails with Salomon's solid tread pattern to keep you moving down the trail.
Which last are these built on? Is it the same as the X Alp Carbon GTX?

If you are cooking Thai food within your house, you will be using lemongrass quite frequently. Which makes it important to learn how to use every bit from it. When you purchase 3 different quality recipes to create, chances are excellent that believe it or not than one of these have to have lemongrass. The task that appears though, is that almost all quality recipes only desire a particular area of the stalk. Each area of the stalk differs so if you wish to work and price effective inside your kitchen area, you need to learn the best way to cope with each bit. You have to also find techniques to make use of the part of the stalk that typically will get disposed of.
The initial step would be to take advantage of lemongrass that's bound tightly. Anything whatsoever else will not have just as much flavor. Usually if you use lemongrass to cook, you begin by ripping in the tough, exterior layers from the stalk. These have to be disposed of. This will expose the interior area of the lemongrass that's a pale yellow color. The bulb from the stalk ought to be removed and also the simplest method to get this done would be to just eliminate the underside 2 " of every stalk. The top stalk that's better eco-friendly also should be removed before cooking.
After slicing the lemongrass in little pieces, you need to either take advantage of the blender or perhaps a pestle and mortar to mash it also further. If you have completed the planning from the lemongrass, you'll be able to place it inside a closed container and set it inside your freezer.
As you can't make use of the other areas from the stalks in quality recipes that decision for fundamental lemongrass does not mean you can't make use of the other pieces. The easiest factor for you personally to do would be to put individuals pieces into curries and soup to include somewhat additional flavor. All that you should do is create a couple shallow slices the size of the lemongrass stalk. These don't need to be deep cuts, sufficient to permit the aroma and taste from the stalk to become revealed. You should also "bruise" the stalk by slightly bending it several occasions.
But, you'll need to actually take these stalks from the food right before you serve it. Traditional Thai food people will understand they ought to not eat this part of the stalk. But, beginners might not be conscious of might they will not think really highly of the cooking when they try eating it.

Here are a few more from F is for Fenway, written by Jerry Pallotta and illustrated by Yo soy. Fenway Park turns 100 years old on April 20, 2012. The book is out and the book signings are in the works! Havin' a ball.Jerry Pallotta's writing is wonderful. Each letter of the alphabet represents some part of Fenway Park and is accompanied by a 5 line poem, as well as a brief historical anecdote. .....Next book signing is at Wellesley Books, in Wellesley, MA on 4/21/12 in the AM.
This is Y for Yankees rivalry. According to the facts in this here book, the Red Sox and Yankees have played each other over 2000 times in the last 100 years.
L & M... L is for Ladder, and M is for Manual Scoreboard. Fenway is the only major league park with a ladder in the field of play. Note the score. Sox are kickin' butt!
Kenmore Square
R is for...... RED SOX!
We take a seventh inning stretch here to cover the process a bit... Ink drawing first...
Color is worked in layers underneath (for the most part). (digitally, for those new here). I use various colored papers that I scan and use as backgrounds, or custom brushes used like rubber stamps to get some interesting textures.
The contents are then placed into the recombobulator machine. This one: A is for America's Most Beloved Ballpark. Take that! Wrigley Field.
'Z' you ask???? That is for Zamboni. Fenway sets up an ice skating rink in the winter. (A Zamboni is an ice resurfacing machine). Thats my niece Emily in the pink striped scarf. True.

Why Pay for Therapy?
You have insurance, so why not use it for therapy? This is a good question, and here are some things to consider:
Privacy. If your health insurance is provided by your employer, they are able to see how it is used. If you don't want your employer to know that you are seeking mental health care, paying for therapy will help maintain your privacy. Also, if you use health insurance, your insurance company can demand to see your personal file.
Control. When you use health insurance for therapy, the insurance company dictates how your therapy is conducted. Insurance companies demand a diagnosis and can control how many therapy sessions you can have before they stop paying. When you pay for therapy, it can happen at a more natural pace and you don't have to worry about being cut off before you're done.
Investment. Therapy is an investment in your well-being. When you pay for therapy instead of using insurance, you may be more motivated to do what is needed to make changes in your life.

Pre-Gamin': Cubs v. Rockies (3:10 CT) – Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread
The Cubs didn't show a lot of offense in their two games (IN FIVE DAYS, AH! TORTURE!) at Wrigley Field to open the season, but Coors Field can be a nice cure for that.
Hopefully Travis Wood can keep the ball down, and neutralize some of the better lefty bats on the Rockies (indeed, Justin Morneau and Charlie Blackmon aren't even starting). If he could provide a little offense, himself, too, that wouldn't hurt.
Welington Castillo gets the start in this one, what with his familiarity with Wood and an opposing lefty on the mound. Matt Szczur also gets his first start of the year as part of the platoon in left field.
And look who else is batting their pitcher 8th.

Relatives of a mother of four who was allegedly stabbed to death by her boyfriend tried to attack the suspected killer in court yesterday.
The melee in a courtroom in Springfield, Mass., was caught on camera and began moments after guards brought in murder suspect Jose Santiago for his arraignment.
It's unclear what started the ruckus, but the footage shows several guards trying to restrain a man in the audience a few feet from Santiago, 30. A moment later the camera cuts to another man landing a punch on Santiago, who appears doubled over or perhaps was trying to avoid the blow.
One guard puts the man who threw the punch in a headlock. With the help of two other officers, they wrestle this man to the ground. One sits on the man's back and handcuffs him.
Guards escorted Santiago out of the room and delayed his appearance until order was restored. He later pleaded not guilty to stabbing his girlfriend, Jessica Rojas, 25, after celebrating her birthday on Friday.
The two men accused of starting the brawl were later identified as Kenneth Soto and Edwin Rojas. Police said one was Rojas' father and the other was her stepfather, but they didn't specify who was the biological relative.
The pair were arrested and charged with disrupting court and assault and battery of a court officer, the Springfield Republican reported.

Museum Park Theater CANCELED
Say Anything
(1989) Written and directed by Cameron Crowe. John Cusack, Ione Skye, John Mahoney. (100 min.) PG-13
Underachieving aspiring kickboxing Lloyd Dobler has the quirky touch of a poet. He is sweetly obsessed with Diane, a brainy girl with an overprotective dad, in this iconic Gen X teen dream. The image of John Cusack and his boom box lifted overhead, blasting Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes," defined true love for a generation.
"One of those delightful surprises that hit you at the movies when you're least expecting them … Cameron Crowe takes a revolutionary approach to his teen characters—he treats them as if they were human beings" (Washington Post)
Where do I park? Can I bring my dog? How about picnics? What happens if it rains? For answers to these questions and others, check out our policies page.
You'll see us in your inbox soon. And we hope to see you at the Museum!
