Indonesia Family Life Surveys (IFLS) (ICPSR 184)
Principal Investigator(s): Gertler, Paul, RAND; Frankenberg, Elizabeth, RAND; Karoly, Lynn, RAND
Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) is an ongoing longitudinal study of individuals, households, communities, and facilities. The household component of the survey covers economic well-being (consumption, income, and assets)\; education, migration, and labor market outcomes; marriage, fertility, and contraceptive use\; health status including biomarkers, use of health care, and health insurance\; relationships among coresident and non-coresident family members\; household decision-making\; and participation in community activities. The community and facility component of the survey provides detailed information from the communities in which IFLS households are located and from the facilities that serve residents of those communities. These data cover aspects of the physical and social environment, infrastructure, employment opportunities, food prices, access to health and educational facilities, and the quality and prices of services available at those facilities. Every adult household member is individually interviewed and movers are tracked to their new location. Interviews were conducted in 1993, 1997, 1998 (on a subsample), and 2000.

One of the most fun aspects of designing a game is the creation of a brand new world. Continents become canvases - there are mountain ranges to mould, peoples to shape and history to write. You rarely have such freedom as when creating a world from scratch. But before getting started on the detail, your world needs a framework - the idea which gives the world its reason for being.
I'm not talking about some huge, grand concept such as "Imagine a world created by serpentine gods!", or "Imagine a world in which elves exist!" - these are good starts, but it can be something much smaller. Your world exists to tell a story. In a video game, the story consists largely of the actions that the player performs, so give them a cool context in which to perform those actions - something that inspires you and will inspire others; that ties into what you want them to do or experience. Your framework is the foundation on which the player experience is forged. From there, you can expand to fill in the bigger details as well as the minutiae.
A real fungus that can mind control ants and then gruesomely burst out of their heads: Fantastic!
"Imagine a world in which elves exist!" - so what? How's that going to affect the way I play the game? If elves are just NPCs with bows who all sound like they've dropped out of A Midsummer Night's Dream, it probably wont change the way I play.
So add some more detail: "Imagine a world in which elves ruthlessly hunt down any human who trespasses in a forest". Then imagine that the player is a logger's son, forced to venture into the forest to retrieve his father's body. You see how a simple framework of hostile elves can create space for a story.
The trouble with elves, though, is that they've been done. They've been good, bad, evil, aloof, blue, chummy, persecuted and whatnot 'til the cows come home. We've had space elves, wood elves, city elves, night elves, dark elves, octopus elves, giant elves, tiny elves… I bet they've even been done without pointy ears!
You can do better than more bloody elves. For your own sake, step away from the elves - as well as the orcs, the buzz cut space marines, the elder gods and all the other tropes - with your arms in the air, where I can see them.
In two words: look without! Look at the world; not other books, nor other games. When I sit down to form a fictional world, I like to start from an idea or ideology I've seen in the real world. It doesn't even have to seem that important. For example, some time ago, a BBC wildlife program introduced me - and about a million other repulsed viewers - to Cordyceps fungus.
Cordyceps is a fungus that infects the brain of an ant. An infected ant behaves oddly (oddly for an ant, that is). It shakes oddly, it moves oddly, it is clearly sick in a very odd way. The sick ant, seemingly controlled by the fungus, scales a nearby plant. When the ant has reached as high as it can, it latches onto the plant with its pincers, fixing itself tightly to the stem - then, slowly, and dreadfully, the fungus cracks out of the insect's skull, erupting into a bloom from which spores are released. These spores fall from the plant onto other ants, which become infected in turn, and the cycle continues.
The fungus bursts out of the
back of his skull - poof!
A real fungus that can mind control ants and then gruesomely burst out of their heads: Fantastic! - Imagine if that could happen to humans!
So, let's imagine. Sticking with the source material: the spores are airborne, the infected climb to the top of some local peak to ensure the spores disseminate over as wide an area as possible, and the bloom bursts out of the back of the skull:
An infected human staggers out of a service door on the roof of a multi story building. Shivering and shaking, he steps towards the edge of the roof. There we see the city, and we can distantly make out similar figures on other rooftops. The fungus bursts out of the back of his skull - poof! - then slowly and gracefully it grows, covering his body in a blanket of bloom. And now we know: the city is doomed. The thousands breathing in the spores will, within hours, be filled with a feverish desire to climb as high as they can…
How would that world look? A single infected individual could wipe out a city before anyone realised, so the cities all fall into dense clouds of spore smog: bloom covering buildings, creating alien landscapes out of the familiar.
The survivors would live in the country, normally out of the reach of the spores. But the wind can still blow spores a long distance: even in the country, the survivors would live in fear. The slightest fever would see them under lock and guard until recovery. Rangers would patrol the surrounding land, looking for signs of infection in the local wildlife.
And who would be given the task of ranger? Why, our player! The orphan - the only one who had no one to speak on his behalf in the community - is given the most dangerous job: keep the community safe.
So there you go, a simple world: the mind-controlling fungus has forced the player's people to live a rural existence, in constant fear of infection.
Okay, okay, I know: it's a post-apocalyptic setting - hardly the most underused context for a game. The end of the world by some natural or unnatural cause and the trials of those who survive is hardly virgin territory. But it's the journey that counts.
You see, I could have set out with the drive to create a sinister, post-apocalyptic horror story - but instead, it started with nothing more sinister than a wildlife documentary and grew from there. I believe that, though both paths may have reaped similar results, the route beginning with an understanding of the source inspiration is always a richer and more versatile one.

"SAA's mandate from the South African government is to grow footprint on the continent. Growing business and socio-economic ties between Congo and South Africa support the launch of this route. The mix of passengers on this route is business, trader and international travellers as well as governments and families," says Potgieter. "Furthermore, adding more routes within the African continent offers customers an assortment of travel options to destinations once difficult to reach by air."

cuts have seen replacements for the retiring space shuttle be
cancelled and hopes of NASA
returning to the moon dashed. While government sponsored space
flight is on the ropes, space flight in the private sector is
blasting off.The Spaceship Company (TSC) has broken
ground on a new manufacturing facility in the desert at the Mojave Air & Space Port. The groundbreaking
is the official start of construction on the new 68,000 square foot
clear-span hanger that will serve as offices, assembly, and testing
facilities for TSC moving forward. The facility is large enough to
allow the production of two WhiteKnightTwo and at least two smaller
SpaceShipTwo craft at one time.The WhiteKnightTwo is the
mother craft that will carry SpaceShipTwo under its wings into the
sky and then release the SpaceShipTwo to take its flight to
sub-orbital altitude some 60 miles above the surface of the Earth. At
that altitude, the passengers will be able to see the curve of the
Earth and will be weightless. SpaceShipTwo will then fly like a
conventional aircraft back to the Mojave Air & Space Port for
landing.George Whitesides, CEO of Virgin Galactic and TSC
said, "Today's groundbreaking of TSC's new hangar is another
significant milestone in developing Virgin Galactic's commercial
spaceflight operations – following on from recent achievements
including the maiden and second glide flights of SpaceShipTwo and the
dedication of Spaceport America's runway in New Mexico."PC

With all the hype around are 3 rookies(JV, TR, and QA) we've forgotten one Tomislav Zubcic. Who I think has very good potential to be a real good role player.
The Good
2009 Nike Hoop Summit
Throughout the week in practice, Tomislav Zubcic displayed extremely impressive tools for a player his size, but at the same time, seemed to struggle with both his role on the team and a lack of mental toughness. To our surprise, he overcame both issues Saturday night on his way to a very impressive showing in the game. The Croatian forward's strong performance certainly helped his draft stock, as he was a big key to the World Team's victory, particularly in the fourth quarter.
With the skills of a small forward, Zubcic has the size and athleticism to become a match-up nightmare at the power forward position. He remains somewhat skinny at this point, but has really improved his upper-body strength over the past year. He looked to be a soft player in the practices, but had no trouble fighting for an offensive rebound on his first possession in the game, and taking a hard hit to get to the free throw line. Zubcic followed this up by create a nice look for Kevin Seraphin after handling the ball on a pick and roll, and came down the court a few possessions later showing off his smooth stroke from the three point line. Later in the game, the forward showed very nice agility and ball-handling skills attacking the basket off the dribble, especially late in the game where he finished a drive while taking a hard hit on the head from Renardo Sidney.
From DraftExpress.com http://www.draftexpress.com#ixzz24PueM3Ec
http://www.draftexpress.com2011 adidas EuroCamp
Tomislav Zubcic had his best game of the camp in today's All-star game as well. He didn't force anything, but he didn't fade into the background and revert to being passive eitherwhich has been a major issue for him in the past.
He shot the ball with confidence, nailing the two threes he took and shooting 6/7 overall. He was also dialed in to the other aspects of the game too, though, which was good to see. He really utilized his intriguing length grabbing 6 rebounds and swatting two shots.
Zubcic is someone who has intrigued us for as long as we can remember he saw his first DraftExpress write-up five years ago back in 2006, and many still remember his excellent Nike Hoop Summit performance.
Standing 7-feet tall, with very intriguing perimeter skills, including the ability to lead the break or make shots from beyond the arc, he's a unique prospect that surely caught the eye of many teams here.
From DraftExpress.com http://www.draftexpress.com#ixzz24PvpnZeE
The Bad
2009 Nike Hoop Summit
On the glass, Zubcic lacks great fundamentals and must become better at using his body to create position. His defense must improve as well, though he does show good anticipation off the ball, and had a couple of impressive blocks during the game. If he continues to get stronger in his lower body, the Croatian big has a chance to become an asset on the defensive end of the floor.
Surprisingly, a number of scouts we talked to indicated that Zubcic has somewhat of a selfish reputation overseas, and might not play as effectively if he doesn't get an adequate number of touches on offense. We definitely saw signs of this during the practices, and Coach Beveridge got on his case about it early in the week. It worked out for the best, however, because it allowed Zubcic to find his role on the team, and he became a key cog for the first international victory since 1998.
From DraftExpress.com http://www.draftexpress.com#ixzz24PwZsn3n
http://www.draftexpress.com2011 EuroCamp
On the other hand, Zubcic has been a distinct underachiever throughout his career, easily rattled and dropping his head at the first sign of adversity. His physical and mental toughness leave a lot to be desired, and that reflects not only in the inconsistency he shows from game to game and even quarter to quarter, but also in his defense and rebounding ability, which are well below average for a player his size. The fact that his wingspan is shorter than his height surely doesn't help matters here.

Soo many questions for next season. who will be traded? who will be drafted? Will BC fire Triano? Will DeRozan Become an all star?
Soo many questions for next season. who will be traded? who will be drafted? Will BC fire Triano? Will DeRozan Become an all star?
Derozan All Star?
Triano fired?
BC fired?
Who will be drafted?
Too early to tell depends on where we pick and if we move down. Hopefully Knight/Walkers/Williams/Irving (I doubt we'll get Williams or Irving though)
Who will be traded?
Jose or Barbosa
Derozan All Star?
Hell, Nooooooooooooooo, Not even in 5 years will this guy be an ALLSTAR.
Triano fired?
Only if BC is fired.
BC fired?
50-50 at this point
Who will be drafted?
Too Early to tell now
Who will be traded?
Jose and we will get an equally bad but little shorter contract back.
I dont think DeRozan will be an All Star next season but if he manages to push his PPG to 20's next year and aberage aroumd 3-4 assists he might have a chance in years to come.
I hope Barbosa stays but theres high chamce he will be traded along with Jose Dorsey and JuJu or perhaps Chucker Weems.
Of the team atm Bargs and Derozan have all star potential for next few seasons if Bargs lifts RPG to around 7-8 and assists continue to improve like as of late to something like 2.5.
Derozan All Star?
Triano fired?
BC fired?
Who will be drafted?
if we have the fifth pick -enes kanter,perry jones maybe kemba walker
Who will be traded?
Jose calderon
DeRozan All Star? No, but he'll continue to improve and will become a heck of a ball player.
Triano fired? No.
Colangelo fired? No.
Draft? Kyrie Irving if we can get him.
Trade? Bayless.
Derozan All star: Not next year and not until we start to win although he will improve and up his scoring to around 20ppg. I also believe his defense will slowly improve and he will eventually become an average defender.
Triano and BC fired: What happens to one will happen to the other.
Draft: Hopefully Derrick Williams or Enes Kanter although it will probably be Perry Jones.
Trade: Weems, Julian Wright, Dorsey and Bayless.
Does anyone think that BC would draft Jimmer? It wouldn't be entirely out of character.
Soo many questions for next season. who will be traded? who will be drafted? Will BC fire Triano? Will DeRozan Become an all star?
BC fired: No
Triano Fired: No
Traded: Calderon
DeRozan an all star: No
Draft: Kyrie Irving or Harrison Barnes if he comes out. Right now, we have the 5 th pick. Sacramento may pass us since they only have 1 less win and seem to be playing decently of late. Tyreke Evans is also back too. We have to hope Minnesota and Washington grab the top 2 spots and we get the 3rd. Washington won't take Irving given that they have John Wall. I doubt Minnesota takes Irving either because I think Rubio will be playing for them next year. If Cleveland or Sacramento gets a pick ahead of us, they'll take Irving and we'll have to look at a SF.
DeRozan all star? Nope
Triano fired? I hope.
BC Fired? Maybe.
Draft? Looks slim now with key draftees declining to enter due to NCAA championships hopes for next season, Sullinger, Williams, and maybe Barnes will not declare leaving other teams looking for the other big draftees like Irving, P.Jones, Valancuianas, Kanter .
Traded? Everyone on the roster looks like they can be traded except DeMar, Ed, Amir, I wouldn't mind if the Raptors would traded Bargs to Chicago for Asik and other role players, I bet the only person who can teach him how to defend is Thibodeau really.
- Colangelo takes the best player on his draft board
- Colangelo stays
- Triano leaves
- Bargnani leaves
- Barbosa leaves
- Wright leaves
- Weems leaves
- Evans leaves
- Dorsey stays
- Ajinca stays
- Colangelo builds around Ed and DeMar, finding free agents who complement them
- The Raptors enter next season in far better shape but still end up in the lottery
If they're drafting 5th or 6th then chances of them finding a player with more talent than Kemba Walker is not high. I'm not saying he's the ideal draft choice for them in this class but I am saying I feel he would not be a wasted pick. I think he has the potential to have a much greater impact than Johnny Flynn for example. Flynn was taken 6th overall and a pretty good draft class. I think Kemba could end up playing to a level of TJ Ford in his prime before he went through those traumatizing Raptors era injuries which killed his game. TJ was an excellent player and would still be one if not for his degenerative spinal condition.
TJ's first season in Toronto was excellent. finding a guy in this class who can give you 14 and 8 with a huge array of offensive weapons would be an excellent find at 5th or 6th.
Yeah, well that one and the Garbajosa injury. Those two were very devastating.
a couple of pieces this off-season/draft,
while possibly shedding Bargnani and/or Calderon's contract,
combined with a high draft pick next year,
and possible high cap space (with Bargnani and Calderon gone) next summer
would most likely create a playoff team in 2 seasons, in my opinion.
Based on ground up rebuilds like Portland or OKC, that is not unreasonable or unthinkable if the draft gods comply.
I think there will be a very long and bitter lock out.

might remember when T-Mobile, back in August, was
being sued for throttling its "unlimited" data
plans without any indication its plans were anything but unlimited.
Well, it doesn't look like the nation's fourth-largest carrier is
going to stop doing so. Instead, it will decrease the data cap to 5
GB, and do a better job of telling its customers about the policy,
Tmonews reports.
October 16, if customers exceed 5 GB of data usage in a single
billing cycle, they will receive a text message warning them that
their data speeds will be reduced until the next billing cycle
starts. T-Mobile claims this policy will affect less than 1 percent
of its customer base -- the "extreme data users" -- and
will ensure "that all subscribers receive the best Web
performance available by limiting the number of extreme data users on
our network."
T-Mobile capped usage as it saw fit (usually at around 10 GB) thanks
to the following paragraph of fine print:
provide the best network experience for all of our customers we may
temporarily reduce data throughput for a small fraction of customers
who use a disproportionate amount of bandwidth. Your data session,
plan, or service may be suspended, terminated, or restricted for
significant roaming or if you use your service in a way that
interferes with our network or ability to provide quality service to
other users.
was the issue in the class action lawsuit filed against the
company. What many don't realize, however, is that the
company has been capping its WebConnect USB aircards at 5 GB for some
time now. The latest policy change will align all of the company's
data plans.
the latest development, T-Mobile has -- as is often the case -- taken
a different route than its larger competitors. AT&T began
offering capped data services in June (with 2GB as its
highest option). Rather than throttling speeds after exceeding the
capped amount, the company charges what are, in effect, overages.
Verizon, too, has announced
plans to launch capped data some time next year. And while
Sprint hasn't expressly stated plans to follow suit, CEO Dan Hesse
has indicated the provider would
be open to charging even more for 4G (it currently charges
an additional $10), or going to tiered data plans.
this the end of unlimited data plans as we know it?

Obamacare Still Confusing to Many: Poll
A new Kaiser Health Foundation tracking poll finds only one in 10 consumers are getting information about the Affordable Care Act from their employers, even though open enrollment for new health care coverage options under ACA is just six months away.
The tracking poll also found that only 3% of consumers said that information they get about ACA is the "most important source" of news and information about the health care law, otherwise known at Obamacare.
By Jan.1, 2014, employers that have more than 50 full-time employees will be required to provide health insurance or pay a fine. Employers that don't provide health insurance are supposed to inform employees about online health insurance exchanges where they can purchase a policy. These exchanges are scheduled to go live in October.
About 40% of consumers said they are getting their ACA information from friends and family, and 66% of consumers said they are getting information about the health care law from mainstream media (newspapers, radio and online news, cable and broadcast TV).
The Kaiser poll also found much of the public remains confused about the status of the law even though it has received widespread media coverage.
Among other key findings of the new poll:
- Four in 10 Americans (42%) are unaware that the ACA is still the law of the land, including 12% who believe the law has been repealed by Congress, 7% who believe it has been overturned by the Supreme Court, and 23% who say they don't know enough to say what the status of the law is.
- About half the public (49%) says they do not have enough information about the health reform law to understand how it will affect their own family.
- The share of the public that says they lack enough information to understand how the ACA will affect their family is higher between the two groups the law is likely to benefit most – the uninsured (58% of whom say they lack enough information) and low-income households (56%).
The tracking poll was designed and analyzed by public opinion researchers at the Kaiser Family Foundation and was conducted April 15-20 from a nationally representative random digit dial (landline and mobile) telephone sample of 1,203 adults ages 18 and older.
The margin of error is plus or minus 3%
Based in Menlo Park, Calif., the Kaiser Family Foundation analyzes health care policies.

Angels Sweep the Mariners and Head into the All Star Break One Game Behind Texas
Sweeping the Mariners in a four game series was a most fitting way for the Angels to head into the All Star Break. After all, it was series win over the Mariners at the beginning of the epic Four Corners Road Trip that helped June's struggling Angels turn it around and embark on a 19 and 6 streak. During the Angels reign of terror through the National League and back again, bats were discovered, starting pitchers delivered gems, bullpen pitchers delivered holds and saves a plenty and a talented nineteen-year old number one prospect made his Angels debut. I attended Saturday's nine to three victory and hd a blast watching our guys do their thing and the kid fitting right in…you know, with all of the other Angels kids.
Yes, with Peter Bourjos' unfortunate hamstring strain late in Thursday's game, Trout-mas came early to Anaheim this year. No, Mike Trout did not knock two grandslam homeruns in his first game or singlehandedly field every single ball that made it to the grass as the increasingly outrageous hype surrounding this talented young man might have lead one to believe. But what he did do was get a hit and an RBI in his second game in the show. Show off his speed on the base paths and in the outfield. He did display a rookie's hesitancy on several plays, which is to be expected, but more than made up for it with one highlight reel, game saving catch and several other catches of varying difficulty and generally charm the heck out of Angels fans everywhere with the joy he takes in the game and his pleasure at just being called up.
So what is my assessment of the lad? I am really pleased. I think he's extremely talented and a stellar future corner outfielder. Corner outfielder? What's that you say? Yep. You read that right. Trout can fly and dive and catch but no more so than our current future Gold Glove centerfielder (if not this season then soon) Peter Bourjos. And Bourjos has a strong, sure arm while Trout…well he doesn't have Johnny Damon's arm or anything, but baring some serious improvement, it isn't strong enough for centerfield. Still, the thought of an outfield in 2012 or 2013 with Bourjos in center and Trout in left gives me goosebumps thinking of all the extra base hits they will rob. And although he didn't really get piece of one this series, Trout has more of an extra base hits bat than Bourjos so they will complement one another nicely in that regard as well…as they blaze around the basepaths forcing errors left and right. To wax Christopher Lloyd as Judge Doom-ish for a moment: My God, it will be beautiful!
But for this season, once Bourjos is back in shape, I like our existing outfield with players who have already ironed out their communications issues and work as a unit. I also think Trout's bat is going to take the same amount of time to warm up as our other rookies' did, and would rather the team deal with that at the beginning of next season rather than the middle of this one…and hopefully for Trout, the vets won't make him walk up to Miley Cyrus' Party in the USA next time. Too funny!
But back to Saturday's game. Now that's a homerun swing! I lucked out and happened to snap the photo right as Torii hit his first of what would be two homeruns for the evening.
Michael Pineda was every bit as formidable as his reputation states. He sat down six Angels in a row to complete the first two innings.
And I think that might have been the story of the game, were it not for our secret weapon: Rookies who had faced Pineda in the minor leagues just last season! Mark Trumbo said hey, I know how to hit this guy and got the Angels off to a nice start in the 3rd with a single. He would also homer in the 8th.
Hank Conger also knew Pineda and stood his ground against Pineda unafraid and worked the count into a walk. Then Mike Trout got his first base hit, a sacrifice he beat out with his speed, and his first RBI and Trumbo scored.
…Setting the stage for Torii's first homerun of the evening.
Joel Pineiro pitched a pretty good game. He had a strong start and overcame a shaky 5th inning to deliver seven innings with seven strike outs and only one walk…he did allow ten hits, but the infield and outfield had his back. The Angels took off scoring runs again in the bottom of the 5th and the tide never came close to turning again.
Here are a few other snapshots from the game. Erick Aybar tries to sell an attempted pick off of Greg Halman to the umpire. Don't worry, the ump didn't blow this one. Chalk it up to Erick's poor acting chops…or, you know, the ball sitting there on the grass two feet behind him.
Peter Bourjos, Erick Aybar and Alberto Callaspo chat in the dugout during an Angels at bat. Bourjos is still day to day but it sounds like he should be well enough to play after the All Star Break.
Batting coach Chris Chamblis, Adam Kennedy, Brendan Ryan and Jack Cust chat in the dugout. "Coach, if I see fireworks come out of the rockpile one more time…"
Former Angel Adam Kennedy steps up to the plate. This was a good photo of Hank Conger maneuvering behind the plate.
Trumbo decides to make the play himself. Yoooou're out!
The Angels bullpen heads for the clubhouse after the game. Hmmm…looks like it was Jordan Walden's turn for the Cookie Monster backpack.
And now? Well, it's good to be busy at work and headed up to the Bay Area because otherwise I'd be awfully mopey for baseball this week. I love seeing the right players named to the All Star Teams because it is an honor and it tickles them, but I seldom get really pumped for the All Star Game itself.

TechNut wrote:ECC in modern servers is more about working through a chip failure than random bit flips. Sure, it could happen, but the most likely scenario is the server reboots, versus data corruption.
TechNut wrote:I'm not against ECC RAM. I think it has its place. For home and semi-pro uses though, I think the price gap is crazy. 16GB, last time I checked was over 200$ for decent DDR3 ECC, whereas you can get the same speed, non-ECC for 45$ (Newegg Black Friday).
TechNut wrote:For small amounts it might be ok, but, it makes a purchase that much more expensive for not much gain at home. The performance is 2% less with ECC, and the risk of data corruption is so low, its not a worry for most home applications. Remember, normal memory has CRC checking built in, and can correct single bit flips. ECC is designed to fix 2 bit flips.
TechNut wrote:RE: the OS and more a chance of data corruption, well, that's not 100% true. Every page of memory has bits set which tell the OS what the protection is, etc. Those get flipped, well you get your crash. Also, memory is a mix of instructions and data, so, if instructions get messed up, the application will crash. However, the CRC in the memory will catch that so you really need something bad to happen to generate multiple bit flips i.e. bad chip.

Looks like CRC is in there, or at least will be for DDR4.

A single 2U QNAP TS-859 Pro can hold 24TiB of raw disks, will cost less than what you've spec'd, and probably be more reliable. Or at least you can call support if you break it. They're quiet compared to most rack mount chassis, come with redundant PSUs, and consume very little power, and have a ton of features (like Time Machine, iSCSI, BitTorrent server support, etc). We use them at my workplace for cheap big dumb storage for data we don't want to fill up our six figure production SANs with.
Building your own storage can be fun, but you'd be surprised at how many caveats there can be if you want it to be fast and reliable on the scale I think you seem to be looking for.
Jingles wrote:FYI I will be using lots of small, 500GB or 1TB, drives so that when a drive fails it won't take as long to re build the array, because the problem with larger drives is the longer they take to rebuild the higher the chance is of another drive failing which could potentially wipe out all of the data on the NAS depending on what sort of RAID configuration is used.
Jingles wrote:FYI: It's for a file/media server. And no I can easily justify it, maybe it might be hard for you because your poor? I can build a NAS box cheaper than I can buy one for actually, and it will be just as reliable. What makes you think my build will probably be unreliable? Maybe your builds suck but I have built many computers that have lasted me years without any upgrades or anything breaking. I can build a NAS with a redundant PSU and it will still be cheaper than what I can buy one for. I'm smart enough to provide my own support thanks, maybe you might need support, but I don't because I'm the one building the system from the ground up so I will know it inside out since I know every part that goes into the build and I'll be able to support myself if anything goes pear shaped. Go ahead and buy a pre built NAS if you want to waste a bunch of money.
Care to name the "many caveats"? I don't think I'd be surprised. It's not rocket science, maybe for you it might be. I'll bet you any money that I can build a NAS that is more reliable, faster, and cheaper than you could build or buy.
FYI I will be using lots of small, 500GB or 1TB, drives so that when a drive fails it won't take as long to re build the array, because the problem with larger drives is the longer they take to rebuild the higher the chance is of another drive failing which could potentially wipe out all of the data on the NAS depending on what sort of RAID configuration is used.
just brew it! wrote:I understand the motivation, but there are also some downsides to this approach. You'll have more noise, higher power consumption, more heat, and increased risk of drive failure (since you've got more of them). Your cost per GB is also going to be higher since 500 GB drives are well below the $/GB sweet spot these days, and you may also lose some performance due to lower density platters.
I could maybe see going with the 1 TB drives... but definitely not the 500 GB ones.

The larger drives also make it easier to justify running the array in RAID 10 or RAID 01. Either of those RAID levels handle large amounts of disk IO better then RAID 5 or RAID 6, which are peaky.

Low-Fertility Cohorts Study, 1978: A Survey of White, Ever-Married Women Belonging to the 1901-1910 United States Birth Cohorts (ICPSR 4698)
Principal Investigator(s): Ridley, Jeanne C., Georgetown University
This study is comprised of personal interviews of white, ever-married women born between July 1, 1900, and June 30, 1910. In 1978, a national survey of 1,049 married women between the ages of 68 and 78 were interviewed between the months of March and July in order to investigate low fertility during the 1920s and 1930s and the women of childbearing age during those decades. In addition to the general purpose, the study was designed to gather information to test specific hypotheses concerning demographic and socioeconomic differentials in fertility, the prevalence of contraceptive practice and the methods employed, the extent to which subfecundity and sterility may have contributed to low fertility, and the timing patterns and childbearing pace of the time. The interview collected information on each respondent's family planning, contraception usage, pregnancy history, fecundity, infertility, fertility, and maternal and infant health. Besides demographic characteristics and background information about the respondents, information was also gathered on their household composition, their husband(s), marriages, and areas of residency.

The news is flooded with reports of illegal activity online and in the technology world. Groups of pirates sell counterfeit software and make hundreds of thousands of dollars doing so. Many of the alleged software pirates hail from countries outside of the U.S. where the long arm of the law traditionally can't reach.
Things are changing though and The New York Times reports that a court in southern China has convicted 11 people for violation of international copyright laws. The 11 people were working in a sophisticated software-counterfeiting ring that ran for years manufacturing and distributing pirated Microsoft Software around the world.
The 11 men were sentenced to terms ranging from 18 months to over six years in Chinese prison. Microsoft was very happy for the sentences handed down and said in a statement released Wednesday, "[The prison terms are] the stiffest sentences ever handed down in this type of Chinese copyright infringement case."
The New York Times reports that some legal specialists believe the case to be a landmark of joint anti-piracy efforts between the FBI and Chinese authorities. The counterfeit group that the 11 men operated in is called one of the most sophisticated rings ever seen. Microsoft said, "[The group is] the biggest software counterfeiting organization we have ever seen, by far."
The counterfeit products produced were of such high quality that they were difficult to tell from authentic software. The counterfeit goods were packaged in similar packaging and even had counterfeit Microsoft authenticity certificates. The counterfeit ring produces software like Windows XP and Office 2007 and was broken up in July of 2007 according to The New York Times.
Associate general counsel for Microsoft, David Finn said, "This is absolutely unprecedented. The size and scope of the operation is unlike anything we've seen before. We found their products in 36 countries."
The case is cited to illustrate the point that software pirates are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their methods and can export fully packaged, high-quality software products. Microsoft says that even customs officials were fooled by the counterfeit software and the fake Microsoft "Certificates of Authenticity." According to officials, the ring wasn't selling the software inside China and was exporting the goods to foreign markets where profits were higher.
Chinese and FBI officials say that hundreds of millions in software was seized in different international raids. The Shenzhen court where the 11 men were sentenced found that the men had sold less than $200,000 in counterfeit products overseas. With the alleged worth of the counterfeit goods confiscated in raids it's unknown if there are more people working in the counterfeit rings still at large or if other people within the ring simply took a larger portion of the ill-gotten gains.
The software was said to be produced on machinery costing millions of dollars to purchase with packaging and materials in several languages including English, German, Spanish, and others. Warehouses were found connected to the ring that had molding machines, gilding machines, sealing machines, and air compressors stored inside.
Microsoft isn't alone in being a target for software counterfeiters, Symantec software is reportedly widely targeted by pirates as well.

Part of a traditional that is uniquely American, Dave Koz concerts feature music that represents some of the best of jazz. Don't miss out as Dave Koz goes on tour. See below for upcoming dates and Dave Koz tickets.
Jazz music has been around since the early 1900s, when it developed in New Orleans, Louisiana. New Orleans lends its melting pot appeal and unique flavor to style, which incorporates a variety of instruments including clarinets, drums, saxophones, trombones, and trumpets. One of the most famous American jazz musicians was Louis Armstrong, and some popular contemporary jazz musicians include Kenny G. and Dave Koz.
Blues got its name from its extensive use of blue notes that are common across both jazz and blues music. Blues emerged in the latter parts of the 19th century in African American communities in the southern United States. At first developing amongst agricultural workers, blues music eventually spread north and contributed to the creation of other genres such as rhythm and blues. Like jazz, blues music incorporates clarinets, drums, saxophones, trombones, trumpets, and other instruments along with vocals. Modern blues artists include Etta James, B.B. King, and Taj Mahal.

John O'Brien has been promoted to president/CEO at the $613 million, 49,400-member Leominster Credit Union in Leominster, Mass.
Senior Vice President of Retail Carol Southworth had been serving as interim president/CEO since the departure of Paul Gilbody in January after six months on the job.
O'Brien joined LCU in 2007 as senior vice president of lending after working in operations, sales and planning positions at Household International and HSBC, LCU said.
"By selecting a candidate of John's caliber from inside the credit union, not only did we find someone with great leadership and management skills, but one who knows the organization very well and who, as a member of the executive team, has helped establish its goals and strategic direction throughout the past five years," LCU Board Chairman Anthony Gasbarro said in a statement.
"Carol's leadership skills kept the credit union's performance and strategic initiatives moving forward while we conducted our search to fill the position," Gasbarro added.
O'Brien said, "Over the past five years, I've had the pleasure of working with an outstanding team who is truly dedicated to making the credit union the best it can be. I believe that because of this talented and committed staff, my transition to President and CEO will be virtually seamless to the members and communities we serve."
Gasbarro cited O'Brien's community activities, including the Parks Facilities Committee and as vice chairman of the Board of Selectmen, as well as the local Chambers of Commerce and the New England Credit Union League Lending Council.
O'Brien is an Air Force veteran, married father of two adult children and attended the University of Maryland, Holyoke Community College and Duke University's Fuqua School of Business.

Pycnogenol, a natural plant extract from the bark of the French maritime pine tree, resolved bleeding hemorrhoids, a new study reveals.
Researchers evaluated and followed up on 84 people who had experienced an acute hemorrhoidal episode within the last 48 hours, dividing them into four groups. Group 1 took 300 mg of Pycnogenol for four days, then 150 mg of Pycnogenol for three days. Group 2 took a placebo. Groups 3 and 4 took the same dose of Pycnogenol as Group 1 plus a topical cream with 0.5 percent Pycnogenol or a placebo cream.
After seven and 14 days, the placebo group still had bleeding, but for those who had taken the Pycnogenol supplement, hemorrhoidal bleeding had resolved completely.

From the beginning of the battle of Naruto and colleagues with Tobi till the recent chapter 610, I wonder how many times Hachibi's tentacles were cut-off. But we still see its tails grown maybe its growth rate is fast enough to get cut again after few attacks.
Then why Kishi cuts off Hachibi's tails every now and then? Just because it has the ability to grow again?
What do you guys think?

I would assume the best way to get Williams would be to take on paying Brandon Roy, you think this could ever happen? http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=a7drxb7
No more mediocre wings please. We have Gay... we do not need Williams/Chandler/etc.
Now we should upgrade our backup PG and/or starting PF. Perhaps a starting C because JV is still 2 years away.
Blake was a good choice. I also like Udrih, Ridnour, or Tinsley as well. Guys that don't mind playing backup and can get the job done.
I've been pining for Millsap for a long time, so hell yah!
C: Pekovic, Valanciunas
PF: Millsap, Johnson
SF: Gay
SG: Fields, Ross
PG: Lowry, Ridnour
Such a good young lineup!

Can someone explain to me how Rudy gay is mediocre? The dude is one of the best clutch players in the league and an has elite athleticism. He's easily better than luol deng and he'll be an all star next season Guranteed
My vote is Millsap (or any of the Jazz bigs), J.J. Hickson or Carl Landry. It would be nice to have a PF that plays around the basket, defends and rebounds. Anyone like that sound be acquired. Bargs, Anderson, Fields and Klieza can all go.
I don't get trading for millsap. free agent in two months so unless it's fields and klieza why trade for him?
I am all for Williams and ridnour now. love ridnour. good pg. I would also take a flyer on Williams at the 4.
in the past I have been for Blake but he has been pretty broken down this year, so I would hope it's someone else.
really I would like to grab sullinger and melo off of Boston if possible. if we can turn bargs into something there, who cares we have no pick this year. I was one who really didn't want to draft sullinger but he has played well this year and not a single injury.
Good thread, borderline shocked that people haven't proposed stupid trades yet....hmmm.
I really like all the people mentioned, wondering if we couldn't squeeze either Ridnour or Shved out of Minny on one of those trades. I think Pek has earned himself a lofty price tag, he's played great the last 1 1/2 seasons shocked he isn't getting more notice.
Lastly, I liked the Minny/Lakeshow/Toronto trade, but does Minny want to take on that type of a contract right now, with the likelihood that they'll be paying Roy for not playing? Just think it would be a tough sell.
Nice work everyone.
i8theball.com it's a website...about, you know....basketball.
Just in terms of minor deals I wouldn't be opposed to something like this
I think at this point maybe someone like Ekpe might b worth seeing as a backup big, with Dalembert clearly being an expiring contract
I have no idea if Milwaukee would do a deal like this for a floor spacer like Bargnani and some depth at the wing like Anderson
If PHO goes after Josh Smith as reported, Scola is pushed back -
The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show... and see if she likes the goods.
ESPN Trade Machine: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=aaazpgz
- Bargnani is a floor-spreading PF, who fits better than Gasol
- Williams is a talented young tweener, with a game similar to Odom during his Laker years (another floor-spreading forward), who could be let go after next season (team option for '14-15)
- Amundson is required for Minnesota to balance salaries; expiring contract will likely just get waived
- get a 1st round pick from Minnesota
- save roughly $4M this season (pro-rated) and next season
- get Gasol, who they covet, to team with Love & Rubio
- get Anderson, who could play at SG for them (they've been playing backup PGs at SG)
- dump Williams (they want him gone), Ridnour (4th PG) and Roy (not playing and could retire)
- get to keep Pekovic
- dump Bargnani & Anderson
- get Ridnour to be a solid backup PG for a season-and-a-half
- hopefully Roy will retire, so his contract will come off the books
- might possibly even be able to squeeze a 2nd round pick from Minnesota, if they're lucky

DENVER - Most Montezuma County schools would see big funding increases from a billion-dollar tax increase proposed at the Capitol this week.
But resistance to new taxes, combined with opposition from some school districts that wouldn't be helped as much, are keeping the plan in limbo at least for a few weeks.
The idea is the brainchild of Sen. Michael Johnston, D-Denver, who wants to redo the state's 20-year-old school finance formula.
His Senate Bill 213 directs more money to districts for special education, kids who don't speak English, at-risk students and full-day kindergarten.
"People know the most important natural resource we have to develop in this state is our students," Johnston said.
Business support for his bill is strong, Johnston said, because Colorado schools aren't adequately preparing a new generation of workers.
"If you were looking to open a business and expand a business and you looked around the world based on preparation, you would go to 30 other countries and almost 20 other states before you come to Colorado," Johnston said.
The bill wouldn't take effect until the 2014-15 school year, and not unless Colorado voters approve a statewide tax increase, estimated at $1 billion a year. Several ballot initiatives for income tax increases were expected to be filed Friday afternoon.
Johnston's bill also counts on districts with low local property tax rates to shoulder more of the burden for their schools. Over the past 20 years, districts with high-value real estate or lots of oil and gas production have seen their property tax rates drop, while taxes in poorer districts haven't dropped as much. The state has picked up more of the tab for both rich and poor districts.
Johnston's original formula worked against districts in La Plata County, where natural gas drilling has kept tax rates low. However, the Senate Education Committee amended the bill this week to make sure La Plata's schools and about 20 other districts would not lose funding if their voters don't approve tax increases.
School districts in Montezuma and Dolores counties stood to benefit even before the amendments. Montezuma-Cortez School District Re-1 would see its per-student funding rise by $1,400, to $7,698, according to Johnston's projections.
The bill remains in flux after the Senate Education Committee amended it Thursday. Johnston worries that a plan to boost minimum spending per student - supported by a bipartisan group of senators -would be a budget-buster, adding $200 million to the price tag of his bill.
Sen. Ellen Roberts, R-Durango, thinks the current school finance system needs to be changed. But she's frustrated at the way this bill is moving during an unusually busy and emotional legislative session.
"I wish that school finance reworking had been the centerpiece of this legislative session," Roberts said. "(It) should be an all-hands-on-deck experience."
The bill will sit idle for the next two weeks, as the Senate votes on the state budget and Johnston misses a week for family reasons.

Smaller volcanic
islands in the Caribbean have always had potential
for geothermal
energy use, since volcanoes allow heat from within the Earth to
rise to the surface and transfer to water. Just last year,
several geothermal
reservoirs were discovered throughout the two-island
Caribbean nation of Saint Kitts and Nevis, which will allow it to
produce approximately 50 megawatts of energy. Now, other islands not
too far away are following suit.
Lucia, a small island country in the eastern Caribbean Sea, is set
to create
a series of geothermal plants based on an agreement
with Qualibou Energy,
a U.S.-based renewable energy company. Qualibou Energy signed a
30-year contract with the island's government in an attempt to
extract enough geothermal energy to power the island on its own.
St. Lucia imports most of its energy from Mexico and Venezuela,
making the island almost completely dependent on other countries for
its energy resources. To make matters worse, most of the energy
imported to St. Lucia is petroleum.
our energy is produced from oil, which we import," said Roger
Joseph, spokesman for St. Lucia's power utility, who is
pro-geothermal energy. "So from an energy security standpoint,
this gives us more options."
addition to providing St. Lucia with independence when it comes to
energy, the development of geothermal plants will also help the
island obtain
cleaner energy. In total, the combined series of geothermal
plants expected to be built in St. Lucia would produce an installed
capacity of 120 megawatts. This is more than enough
energy to power the island. In fact, only one-third of the
total energy produced will go toward powering St. Lucia, which has a
population of 175,000, while the rest will be sent to power
Martinique, a neighboring Caribbean island, via an underwater power
government of St. Lucia and Qualibou Energy would like to complete
the series by 2015, with the first 12 megawatt phase to be completed
and generating power in about two years.
