Caroline Bruzelius
Anne Murnick Cogan Professor Emerita of Art and Art History
Ph.D., Yale University 1977
M.Phil., Yale University 1975
M.A., Yale University 1974
B.A., Wellesley College 1971
Caroline Bruzelius is the Anne M. Cogan Professor of Art, Art History, and Visual Studies at Duke University. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, London, and the Medieval Academy of America. Bruzelius received her Ph.D. from Yale University. She was awarded the Duke Alumni Distinguished Teaching Award in 1985 and in 2016 was given the Leadership award for the Wired! Lab at Duke. From 1994-1998, she served as the Director of the American Academy in Rome. In 2013-2014 she was the Richard Krautheimer Visiting Professor at the Hertziana Library/Max Planck Institute in Rome.
Her field of research is Gothic architecture, urbanism and medieval sculpture in France and Italy. Her books include: Preaching, Building and Burying: Friars in the Medieval City (Yale University Press, 2014); Medieval Naples (with William Tronzo), Italica Press; The Stones of Naples: Church Building in the Angevin Italy, 1266-1343 (Yale University Press, 2004); The Thirteenth Century Church at Saint Denis (Yale University Press, 1985), The Brummer Collection of Medieval Art at Duke University (1991), and The Abbey Church of Longpont and the Architecture of the Cistercians in the Early Thirteenth Century (1977). She is presently working on a new book, The Cathedral and the City, that will examine the social, political and economic context for cathedral building. She has also published numerous articles on the architecture of religious women ("Nuns in Space,") and Digital Technologies in Art History.
"My work takes me from the tops of buildings (see photo) to the foundations underneath and to all parts in between. I am interested in how we can understand the construction process of buildings that were created many centuries ago, and how their design and appearance reflected social, economic, and religious practice. The rigorous study of structures and walls and the historical documentation in archives are the points of departure for narratives on the shaping of man-made space and its significance."
"The remarkable capacities of digital modeling and mapping have greatly enriched the ways in which we can engage with the constantly changing and evolving lives of buildings and cities." At Duke, Bruzelius and a group of colleagues have integrated these new technologies into teaching and research projects that involve students at all levels (from freshmen through Ph.D. candidates) in creating digital models, maps, databases and interactive displays that enhance our understanding of historical monuments and their decoration. Bruzelius is a co-founder of Wired! (http://www.dukewired.org/), a group of faculty that integrate digital technologies into teaching and research (3D modeling, mapping, animations, laser scanning, interactive displays). She is also a co-founder (with Donatella Calabi) of Visualizing Venice (http://www.visualizingvenice.org/), an international collaboration that models growth and change in Venice over time (the partner universities are Venice and Padua). With a team of research collaborators, she created The Kingdom of Sicily Image Database, a search tool that collects and catalogues historical images (often produced during the Grand Tour) of the medieval monuments of the Kingdom of Sicily (the database will be imminently online).
ExpertiseMedieval Architecture & Sculpture, Gothic Architecture, Historical & Cultural Visualization
My traditional research fields are medieval architecture, urbanism, and sculpture. I have worked on cathedrals in France and elsewhere in Europe. I've just published a book on the impact of the mendicant orders on medieval architecture and cities. Two new projects will have to do with the financing of cathedrals and the role of architecture in the longue durée of architecture in the Kingdom of Sicily.
My new area of interest is digital visualization technologies for art and architecture. I am a co-founder of Wired! and Visualizing Venice. I have a 3-year collaborative NEH grant for a database on images of the medieval monuments of South Italy. Above all, we are excited about the potential of these new tools for showing transformation and change in man-made urban space. At Duke we have been pioneers in integrating new digital tools into teaching. This Ted @ Duke talk provides a good summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYjhueongzg

Rihanna Gives Lucky Fan a Lap Dance at Holland Show
Rihanna got up close and personal with one lucky fan during a concert stop in Holland. In a video that was posted on YouTube, a male concertgoer receives a raunchy lap dance from the 'Stay' singer.
RiRi was in mid-performance when she requested assistance to help her close out her song. "Any fellas want to help me out?" she asked the crowd before pulling a young man up onstage.
She did ask if any females wanted to join her, which reveals that she's an equal opportunist when it comes to her lap dances. So don't be shy, ladies!
Once the man sat down on a makeshift bed, Rihanna pushed him on his back and started straddling his midsection. She even allowed the fan to slowly place his hand on her chest before the bed was lowered to the bottom of the stage.
Not quite as naughty as Janet Jackson's BDSM treatment of male fans who were lucky enough to get an onstage lap dance. However, we think this Holland fan enjoyed his one-on-one time with the Bajan beauty.
Rihanna is currently on the European leg of her Diamonds World Tour.

how to reproduce this report in your church magazine or website.
1011: St Clement Danes, Aldwych, London
Mystery Worshipper:
Church Belle.
The church:
St Clement Danes
, Aldwych, London.
Church of England.
The building:
A very elegant church designed by Christopher Wren in 1682 with a steeple added later in 1719. The interior is dark wood, with walls and ceiling above the gallery in grey, white and gold. (No oranges or lemons – I was a tad disappointed.)
The church community:
This is the official Royal Air Force church in London.
The neighbourhood:
St Clement Danes is on a busy traffic island at the end of the Aldwych and the Strand. One must take care not to get squashed by a bus en route to the church (I nearly was!).
The cast:
The Rev. Richard Lee, resident chaplain (a very dishy looking chap in red), led the service. The Rev. Bill Pegg, chaplain of the Aircrew Association, gave an address.
What was the name of the service?
A service of commemoration for the Aircrew Association.
How full was the building?
Pretty packed – about 400 or more people.
Did anyone welcome you personally?
The service was for invitees only, but a charming sidesperson said I was welcome to join in and showed me to an excellent seat near the back of the church. I wanted to sit upstairs in the gallery where Dr Samuel Johnson had once sat, but was advised that the view might be rather restricted. And so I stayed where I was.
Was your pew comfortable?
My pew was on wheels. This gave me a nasty shock – as I sat down, the whole thing slid to the left and began to disappear beneath the pew next to it. I discovered later that these are pulled out only for busy services; the rest of the time they are pushed closed to make for a wider aisle. How odd! And no kneelers for these temporary extensions.
How would you describe the pre-service atmosphere?
Well, I was mighty glad I'd dressed up a bit. My ripped jeans and "ban the bomb" t-shirt would not have been
de rigeur
at all. Most of the congregation were ex-servicemen sporting smart blazers and lots of medals. Many of the ladies wore elegant hats. Everyone seemed very pleased to see one another, and the church had the feel of a regimental reunion.
What were the exact opening words of the service?
The service lifted off with
O worship the King
followed by the National Anthem (both verses). The first spoken words were, "We meet together today to renew the special bond of comradeship which exists between all aircrew of the armed services."
What books did the congregation use during the service?
We were given an order of service beautifully printed in blue on crispy shiny paper – a bit more upmarket than the tatty old xeroxed thing I usually get in my regular church.
What musical instruments were played?
Organ – a splendid organ – played by a splendid organist and complemented by a very good choir (a bit too good, as will be seen).
Did anything distract you?
I was astounded that a mobile phone went off during the service, as I really thought nobody in an organisation like the RAF would be so remiss as to have forgotten to turn his phone off. There was an odd high-pitched whistle at the start of the service – perhaps someone's hearing aid, or was it in my ears and was I in need of one? The sidespeople sat at the sides of the church like Wimbledon linesmen, but actually I quite liked that. The verger was in blue with a badge proclaiming him "Church Manager."
Was the worship stiff-upper-lip, happy clappy, or what?
Not so much stiff upper lip as sub-nasal
rigor mortis
. It was military, and military is what we got!
Exactly how long was the sermon?
15 minutes.
On a scale of 1-10, how good was the preacher?
4 I must be fair here. This was an airmen's reunion, not a parish service. Parts of this address were very interesting, but there was a lack of religious content apart from a hint at the end about caring for one another. I found this mildly irritating.
In a nutshell, what was the sermon about?
It was a history lesson on what happened 60 years ago. I was intrigued to hear that our preacher had flown over Mount Ararat and was disappointed not to see Noah's Ark there.
Which part of the service was like being in heaven?
Belting out the National Anthem with all those servicemen.
Onward Christian Soldiers
was pretty good too. My heart was filled with feelings of great patriotism.
And which part was like being in... er... the other place?
I loved the choir at first. One of the women had a most beautiful voice that would have made her welcome in any opera company. But they sang the
Te Deum
without congregational participation (well, we would probably have made a bit of a mess of it, to be honest). Then they sang all the responses and threw in an extra Lord's Prayer for good measure. Next they sang a very long anthem followed by
God be in my head
. I felt as if the congregation hadn't joined in at all!. The choir sang just above my head (in the gallery, I mean, not beyond my comprehension) so I was not able to see them. I'll bet Samuel Johnson got a better view. By the end of the service I was beginning to think of them as a really irritating choir who just loved the sound of their own voices.
If intercessory prayers were said, what issues were raised?
Intercessions were for the Queen (now isn't that a surprise?), but I don't remember any others. I was busy being cheesed off at not having a kneeler.
What happened when you hung around after the service looking lost?
Well, come on – everyone else was in uniform. They were off to a special RAF lunch. I couldn't honestly expect anyone to take me under his wing after I'd just gate-crashed their service! That said, a very nice lady sitting next to me, who is a regular parishioner, was very friendly and explained what happens on a normal Sunday when they have a much smaller congregation of about 30. We exited via a side door to avoid the crush, and she helped me cross the road without getting flattened by a bus. Sadly, I missed shaking the hand of the dishy chaplain in red.
How would you describe the after-service coffee?
Under the circumstances, it would have been impossible to serve coffee. However, on normal Sundays they apparently manage to do so.
How would you feel about making this church your regular (where 10 = ecstatic, 0 = terminal)?
3 If I were somehow connected to the RAF I would definitely attend this church, as I felt they had good community spirit. Regulars chatted with each other and the sidespeople were attentive despite the church's being so full.
Did the service make you feel glad to be a Christian?
To be brutally honest, not really. It made me glad to be British, though, and I felt proud of the brave men who had flown their planes in the war. But I don't think Jesus was ever mentioned in the service. I am still wondering whether God got much of a plug either.
What one thing will you remember about all this in seven days' time?
The flags. They looked splendid and were paraded in true military style. At the end we applauded the services of a retiring standard bearer – a flagging flagman(?).

2. Will Joe Flacco's road struggles end?
By most measures, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is having a respectable season. He's completed 59.5 percent of his throws for 1,837 yards, nine touchdowns and six interceptions for an 84.0 quarterback rating. He's on pace to pass for a career-high 4,198 yards, 20 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. However, he's a vastly different quarterback on the road than he is in the much friendlier environment of M&T Bank Stadium. On the road, Flacco is 1-2 this season and has completed only 50 percent of his throws (56 for 112) for two touchdowns, four interceptions and a 55.9 quarterback rating. At home, Flacco has completed 67.1 percent of his throws (94 for 140) for 1,271 yards, seven touchdowns and two interceptions for a 106.6 rating. What gives? The answer is somewhat complicated, but here are a few theories. The Ravens' no-huddle offense is essentially abandoned on the road due to crowd noise, decreasing the timing and tempo that Flacco enjoys at home. Flacco has faced some excellent pass rushers on the road, including the Philadelphia Eagles' Trent Cole and Jason Babin, the Kansas City Chiefs' Tamba Hali and Justin Houston and the Houston Texans' J.J. Watt, Connor Barwin, Brooks Reed and Antonio Smith. And the offensive line has struggled to provide him with sufficient time to throw. Flacco appears to be pressing and forcing throws. His two interceptions against the Texans came off deflections, but his interceptions against the Eagles and the Chiefs both resulted when Flacco stared down his primary read. Flacco has better fundamentals than he's displayed on the road, but his mechanics, including occasionally throwing off his back foot, have taken a major step backward when he's not in Baltimore. For the Ravens to make a serious playoff run, this troubling trend can't continue.

Maroon Alert: Sharing emergency updates with MSU
During this time of year, weather becomes more of a factor in our day-to-day lives at Mississippi State University. The Maroon Alert system is how we communicate with the campus community about emergency situations that may arise on campus. Please take a few minutes to read the information below.
Maroon Alert is MSU's emergency communication system.
Maroon Alert is a family of communication outlets to communicate about emergency situations. In most situations the primary means of communication are web, e-mail, Twitter via @maroonalert and sometimes instant messaging.
Typically, the website is used in two ways.
Advisories (non-emergencies) are posted to the MSU website using a blue banner.
Emergencies requiring immediate action are highlighted with a yellow banner. Should the university declare a campus emergency, the yellow banner will appear on top of the MSU website.
Full emergency information can be found at www.emergency.msstate.edu on the MSU website.
Those with smart phones or computers have access to the most up-to-date and real time information that MSU is communicating to campus via the MSU emergency website. There also is a mobile friendly version of the emergency webpage and members of the university community are encouraged to add it as a bookmark in their smartphone browser or mobile device -- http://www.emergency.msstate.edu/mobile.php
Other Maroon Alert communication tools include campus radio station WMSV, local cable channel (MSTV-98), and local media outlets. MSU also will make use of weather sirens and announcements on loudspeakers around campus, as well as the
university's official Maroon Alert social media -- @maroonalert.
Please note that text messaging is typically used only if there is imminent danger to campus requiring immediate action.
The university has recently added additional functionally with the ALERT FM smartphone application for Apple iOS and Google Android devices.
The ALERT FM App will allow you to receive Maroon Alert information on your smartphone or tablet via push notifications. This app can also provide you with weather information including watches and warnings for the area pushed right to your device, current and extended weather forecasts, and within 5 minute current radar with map overlays.
To download the ALERT FM App, please visit the Apple App store or the Google Play store. After download, please follow the steps below to set up the App for Maroon Alert:
When prompted to enter a zip code, please enter 39762. Select Mississippi State University and press "done."
Your ALERT FM App should now be branded Maroon Alert.
If you experience any problems setting your ALERT FM App up for Maroon Alerts, please call ALERT FM customer support at 1-866-869-5180.
There are some Maroon Alert terms everyone should know:
-- Seek safety. In a weather-related emergency this typically means to find an indoor space, preferably an interior room or hallway away from windows, or the lowest interior level of a building and seek shelter there. In event of a shooter on campus or gas or chemical leak, this typically means to seek a safe location as far away as possible from the danger or to exit campus on foot if possible.
-- Tornado watch. Conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop, but there has not been an actual sighting. Be alert to changing conditions.
-- Tornado warning. A tornado has been sighted. Take immediate actions for safety.
When you hear a siren, it is imperative to seek shelter in the nearest building and stay alert and tune to either MSU webpage or local news to stay updated about changing conditions.
Do not go to your vehicle during a weather siren. Vehicles do not provide adequate shelter, and roadways need to be kept clear for use by police and emergency responders. Instead, seek shelter on the bottom floor of a building. If possible, choose a basement or interior hallway. Again, if sirens sound, seek shelter until Maroon Alert communications (via e-mail, text, Groupwise Messenger or emergency webpage) indicate it is safe to return to normal activities.
Because weather conditions can change suddenly, sirens may be used more than once during a weather-related emergency. Sirens will never be activated to signal an "all clear." Each time the siren sounds this indicates a new alert and that campus is still in some type of dangerous situation.

No one really likes to talk about it. But wineries are afraid. Lives and reputations are at stake. Am I speaking about Antonio Galloni taking over from Robert Parker? No. No one cares about that. The Pope dies, white smoke comes from the Vatican, and Pope Antonio the First carries the scepter and Holy Tastevin. Nothing changes but the size of the ring you kiss. The ring around your guest house bathroom tub. Am I speaking about the slow pace of the economic recovery? No. Wineries quickly adjust, they are remarkably adept at losing money in every sort of economy--it's what they do. And superbly. Am I speaking about climate change? No. Wineries welcome climate change. The vast majority of them have the wrong varieties planted in the wrong place anyway. Climate change gives them a shot at a good vintage like they've never had before. So what is it that wineries don't want to talk about, yet fear?
In another incident, which wineries and Homeland Security are reluctant to talk about, the NAS filled a windowless van with explosives made from fertilizer packed into cow horns. Only luck and an anonymous tip foiled the NAS plans. Had the van exploded, it would have been a terrible example of Carbombic Maceration.

Acute medial wrist pain in a 30-year old male, aggravated by flexion and ulna deviation of the wrist
@1.1 ,@2.1 Xray of the wrist demonstrating calcium deposits proximal to the pisiform without any cortical changes
@3.1 Ultrasound showing calcium deposits and hypervascularisationdoppler sonography
Acute calcific tendinitis of Flexor Carpi Ulnaris
Acute calcific tendinitis of Flexor Carpi Ulnaris is an unusual, painful, monoarticular, periarticular inflammatory process associated with juxtaarticular deposits of amorphous calcium hydroxyapatite.
ACT of FCU has a high rate of misdiagnosis because of its rare occurrence and its clinical resemblance to other entities with wrist tenderness and swelling. One third of patients with ACT provide an history of trauma.
In most cases, treatment is conservative; it consists of immobilization plus nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs or local steroid injections. Results are uniformly good.
Failure to recognize this entity may cause unnecessary investigation and therapy.
Clinical presentation may simulate infection, and the associated periarticular calcifications may be mistaken for gout, pseudogout, or other entities.

Bill Shorten
Minister for Financial Services & Superannuation
14 September 2010 - 1 July 2013
Joint Media Release with
Robert McClelland
Attorney General
Fixing flood insurance
Every Australian seeking to purchase or renew home and contents insurance will be offered flood cover using a common sense definition of 'flood' under proposals announced today by Assistant Treasurer Bill Shorten and Attorney General Robert McClelland.
The announcements are part of the Gillard Government's response to the 47 recommendations in the final Natural Disaster Insurance Review (the Review) report. The Review was commissioned to examine insurance for flood and other natural disasters following the 2010 and 2011 summer floods.
The Review made a range of recommendations encompassing flood risk management, insurers' claims handling and dispute resolution processes, and the provision of flood insurance.
"The devastating floods in Queensland, NSW and Victoria last summer showed how vital it is to get flood and other disaster insurance right. The Review's recommendations are a good place to start in mitigating the risk of disasters and making sure everyone has the appropriate insurance arrangements to set them on the path towards recovery after disaster strikes," Mr Shorten said.
Standard definition of 'flood'
"The Gillard Government will introduce a standard definition of 'flood' to ensure we don't have a repeat of what happened after last summer's floods, where people with insurance policies with one definition of 'flood' received compensation while people living next door, with a different policy and different definition, received nothing at all."
"Many families and individuals affected by the 2010 and 2011 floods were not even aware their insurance did not cover flood. All policies that offer flood insurance will be required to contain the standard definition and this will end the confusion."
"The Government will release draft regulations about the standard definition for consultation by the end of the year:
Flood means the covering of normally dry land by water that has escaped or been released from the normal confines of:
A. any lake, or any river, creek or other natural watercourse, whether or not altered or modified; or
B. any reservoir, canal, or dam.
The standard definition of 'flood' will be used if the insurer offers flood cover in their home building, home contents, small business and strata title insurance policies.
Mandatory opt-out
The Government is also consulting on a proposal that all insurers must offer flood cover as part of home building and home contents insurance policies, while giving consumers the opportunity to 'opt-out' of that cover.
Stakeholders will have the opportunity to comment on the proposal, following the release of a consultation paper today.
"This proposal will increase the availability of flood insurance across Australia, while improving transparency and choice for consumers," Mr Shorten said.
Flood risk information portal
The Government will also commit substantial funds to establish a flood risk information portal..
Mr McClelland said the Review highlighted the need to improve availability and consistency of flood risk information. Flood risk information plays an important role in emergency management, land use planning and environmental management as well as informing the setting of insurance premiums.
"The Government will develop a flood risk information portal, hosted by Geoscience Australia, to provide a single access point to existing flood mapping data. The Commonwealth will drive this process in close consultation with State and Territory governments," Mr McClelland said.
"The portal will be complemented by the development of national guidelines, covering the collection, comparability and reporting of flood risk information. Once endorsed, these guidelines will contribute to improved data quality and consistency."
Mr McClelland said the States and Territories have expressed their support for these initiatives.
"At last Friday's meeting of the Standing Council on Police and Emergency Management, Ministers agreed to undertake work needed to expedite the provision of existing flood mapping data for publication in the portal," he said.
"Ministers also agreed that the national guidelines are needed and committed to cooperate in developing them."
"These measures will improve access to data and lead to a more consistent approach across the nation. The cost of this measure is around $12 million over the period 2012-13 to 2015-16," Mr McClelland said.
One page Key Facts Sheet
The Government will also implement a requirement for insurers to provide their customers with a Key Facts Sheet for all home and home contents policies. The Key Facts Sheet will clearly set out, on a single page, all key information about the features of the policy. The Key Facts Sheet will complement the existing Product Disclosure Statement.
Further consultation on the content of the Key Facts Sheet will take place early next year. Prototypes of the Key Facts Sheet will also be subject to consumer testing prior to being finalised.
The NDIR recommended - and the Government accepted - that lending institutions should remind borrowers annually of their obligation to maintain insurance and of the risks of under-insurance.
"The industry has accepted this in-principle - and I will work with the industry over the coming months to develop a way to implement this recommendation," Mr Shorten said.
Reforms to the General Insurance Code of Practice and other recommendations
The Review made a number of recommendations for changes to the General Insurance Code of Practice to improve insurers' handling of claims and disputes relating to natural disasters.
The Government and insurance industry have already agreed to remove the provision that the Code doesn't apply during natural disasters and providing for time limits for the completion of expert reports such as hydrology reports.
"In the past, insurers didn't have to abide by the Code for claims relating to a natural disaster. That will no longer be the case and will give the victims of natural disasters the same rights as general insurance consumers," Mr Shorten said.
Other measures recommended by the Panel include a limit to the time taken by insurers to resolve claims and strengthened internal dispute resolution processes. The Government has started discussions with the industry about these changes.
The NDIR also made a series of recommendations in relation to the provision of affordable flood insurance to those at high risk of flood. This includes the creation of a reinsurance pool of funds that will enable insurers to provide discounted flood coverage to eligible high risk households.
These recommendations require detailed consideration by the Government. A process of consultation with relevant stakeholders will be undertaken, given the complexity of the recommended scheme and its potential financial implications for governments. This will include an issues paper to be released in 2012 following completion of the consultation process on the mandatory opt-out proposal.
Finally, the Assistant Treasurer and the Attorney-General take this opportunity to thank the three members of the Natural Disaster Insurance Review Panel, John Trowbridge, John Berrill and Jim Minto as well as the Australian Government Actuary, Peter Martin, and the secretariat that supported them.
The full list of recommendations and the Government's responses, together with the consultation paper, can be downloaded from the Treasury website, which also provides instructions on how to make a submission and the deadline for doing so.

In perhaps the most surprising result of this NFL season, the St. Louis Rams went to Indianapolis and dominated the Colts in all phases of the game, winning 38-8 in a contest that was never even close.
The story of the game was Rams rookie receiver Tavon Austin, who finally had the kind of game the Rams were hoping for when they drafted him. Austin had a 98-yard punt return for a touchdown, and touchdown catches of 57 and 81 yards. All in all, Austin had a whopping 314 all-purpose yards.
The other story of the game was that the Colts' offense was a mess. Although Andrew Luck totaled 354 yards, a lot of that was in garbage time, and he threw three interceptions. Trent Richardson was terrible, gaining just two yards on five carries.
The Colts play in a bad division, the AFC South, and so they're still heavy favorites to make the playoffs. But they look like a team whose injuries are taking a serious toll.
The Rams play in a good division, the NFC West, and so they're unlikely to make the playoffs. But they look like a team that's still playing hard. They sure took it to the Colts today.

The Wanted Giggle Through Acoustic Performance of 'Glad You Came'
When the Wanted performed 'Glad You Came' acoustically at National Post, the blokes could barely keep a straight face or get through a take without giggling profusely. As a result, this performance is light, fun and silly. It's a very outtake-y performance and the boys are having way too much fun. Hell, why not? They're the Wanted.
Early on, the adorable Jay McGuiness busts out laughing mid-song but what's even funnier is his excuse. "My body thought something is funny, but nothing is," he reasoned. Brilliant! We want to use that one.
The guys try to get through the stripped down version of their smash hit, while standing and crowding around one another a few times, but it's futile. They crack up several more times.
They actually do lay down a near-perfect, two-minute take of the tune towards the end of the clip.
This is easily one of our favorite performances of 'Glad You Came' and we've seen (and written about) most of 'em.

- Physics Department Colloquium
- Superconductivity and the Pseudogap in theory and in copper-oxide based superconductors
- Time: 3:30 pm
- Place: 2241 Chamberlin Hall (coffee at 4:30 pm)
- Speaker: Andrew Millis, Columbia University
- Abstract: In the "high-Tc" copper oxide materials, superconductivity is believed not to arise from the electron-phonon coupling which causes superconductivity in conventional materials such as lead or mercury and is believed to be related in some way to the physics of the correlation driven ("Mott") metal insulator transition. In this talk I will summarize what is known about the underlying physics of the materials, explain why the theoretical problem is (NP) hard and present recent theoretical and computational progress which has led to new insights into electronically mediated superconductivity.

Greene offers a summary of trends in the digital market during 2008 and makes some predictions about what the industry can expect in 2009.
By Tim Greene
I've been thinking lately about what kind of year 2008 was and what kind of year 2009 will be. Few would deny that 2008 was a rough one. Many real estate markets, the stock market, and the overall economy were all terrible. Now unemployment is way up. On the other hand, exports are strong, fuel prices are half of what they were just a few months ago, and we have a new president.
Despite the tough economy, last year did see some big, new developments in the market for wide-format digital printing. There is no doubt in my mind that we're seeing the dawn of automation in wide-format digital. New, high-speed printer models from EFI-VUTEk (the DS-series), HP (the HP TJ7550), and Inca Digital (Onset S20) all have automated feeding mechanisms that dramatically increase productivity. These are all very high-end wide-format digital printing devices, but I believe we're going to see some of this type of functionality make it into lower levels of equipment soon. I also think we're going to see a lot more attempts to automate on the finishing side soon.
Another area in which there's a lot of interest and development is the enhancement and improvement in printer service. Mutoh recently announced that it would start including a webcam with every printer. This would allow dealers who service the equipment to remotely diagnose problems with the printer or software. Durst is another company that has created innovative printer-service capabilities. Durst's system lets users log in and view video clips of maintenance and repair procedures so they can perform these procedures themselves and increase up time.
In 2008, I had quite a few printing establishments tell me that they were getting out of solvent ink printing—specifically, they were going to retire their grand-format solvent inkjets, but not for green purposes. They were going to do it because between the new UV ink formulations that work better with flexible substrates, and new grayscale printheads that use the ink more efficiently, they were getting into UV-curable inkjet for running cost advantages.
Last year will go down in my mind as the year that substrate suppliers really made the rubber hit the road with green products. From textiles, which were red hot all year, to rigid substrates—and even some finishing materials—we saw tons of new green print-media options hit the market in 2008.

Cuisinart 7 qt and Small Batches
Just bought this machine to replace a KA that died. (I wanted the DLX, but everyone was out of stock and I needed something soon.) Anyway, I did a small, 1 baguette batch of dough and wasn't impressed. The hook never really caught the dough and the outside edge of the hook just tugged at the dough ball stuck to the side of the bowl, moving it just a bit with every pass. There was no turning the dough on top of itself like I got with the KA. However, the dough seemed to have a fair bit of strengh at the end of the mix and I've got it fermenting now. Is this normal with small batches on the Cuisinart?

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week made a strong plea to the Palestinian Authority leadership to rejoin genuine peace talks without preconditions.
"We are in favor of starting negotiations immediately without preconditions," Netanyahu said at a special Knesset session. Switching to English in order to directly address Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, Netanyahu added, "Give peace a chance."
Abbas and his supporters in the international community continue to claim that Netanyahu himself is the reason the peace process has stalled. But, as the Israeli leader noted, "In my three terms as Prime Minister I made quite a few tough decisions, and I'm ready to make tough decisions now as well, but not ones that endanger the security of the State of Israel."
As he as done for over a decade, Netanyahu stressed that achieving a genuine peace will also require compromise by the Palestinians.
Speaking to Israel Radio following Netanyahu's appearance, Deputy Foreign Minister Zeev Elkin said it is clear the Abbas regime simply has no interest in peace negotiations, considering the unreasonable preconditions it continues to put forward.
"Israel is ready and willing to resume direct peace talks at any moment, it can be done today, tomorrow, in Jerusalem, in Ramallah, in Rome, anywhere in the world," said Elkin.
Abbas "hopes to continue the unilateral track as long as he thinks the international community supports it ... he has no reason to resume negotiations," Elkin continued, referring primarily to the United Nations' de facto recognition of "Palestine" last year despite the lack of a signed peace agreement with Israel.
US Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to return to the region next week in his fifth visit since assuming his current position earlier this year. It was widely reported last week that Kerry had put a time limit on restarting Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, and that should that deadline not be met, Washington would likely turn its attention elsewhere.

DraftKings Raises $41 Million to Make Fantasy Sports a Daily Habit
DraftKings Inc. has raised $41 million in new venture funding to grow its daily fantasy sports business in the U.S.
The Boston startup plans to add new sports to its platform and increase the winnings and prizes it pays out each month to its app and website users.
The Raine Group led the Series C investment in DraftKings, joined by earlier backers Redpoint Ventures, GGV Capital and Atlas Venture.
After closing the deal, the company also completed the acquisition of the principal assets of StarStreet.com in Cambridge, Mass., another daily fantasy sports site, said Jason Robins, chief executive and co-founder of DraftKings.
DraftKings employs about 90 full-time, mostly in Boston. It offers fans a way to play fantasy sports for real money and other prizes on a per-game or short-term basis, rather than having to stay committed to managing their virtual teams throughout an entire season.
An earlier wave of fantasy sports sites run by Yahoo!, CBS and ESPN, for example, require a longer commitment, either an entire season or several weeks of competition, typically. Major media companies have not yet piled into the "daily" segment of fantasy sports.
Some state regulators are still debating whether daily fantasy sports may be a form of online gambling, best-defined as a game of chance rather than skill.
Instead of juggernauts in sports, media and entertainment, DraftKings' direct competitors include Comcast Ventures-backed FanDuel Inc. and MGT Capital Investments-owned DraftDay Inc. (previously backed by Lightbank).
Raine Group Partner John Salter, an investor in DraftKings, said in the next 12-18 months he expects the startup to examine not only new sports and leagues that it may want to add onto its platform--it currently offers football, baseball, basketball, hockey and golf--but new geographic markets where it could expand.
"Sports unites people around the world," he said. "Some sports that are not on the platform yet have a large global audience."
The investor views DraftKings as a "vertically centered social platform" that's growing as quickly in the U.S., in terms of user engagement and interactions, as some of the more successful social networking apps that came before it.
Mr. Robins added that DraftKings will use much of its newly raised capital to hire product designers, engineers and business development staff.
While he would not disclose terms of the deal, or how many daily active users on average play fantasy sports on DraftKings, the CEO said: "We have hundreds of thousands of weekly active users that are paying customers, and have registered over one million [customers who play for free]."
In addition to running games that pay out cash and prizes to DraftKings users, the company also runs games where proceeds go to charities, and fees paid by players are matched by the company. To date it has donated an estimated $24,000 but plans to do larger campaigns throughout 2014.
According to data from the Fantasy Sports Trade Association, about 41 million people play fantasy sports in the U.S. and Canada currently. Some 47% of them pay league fees, and on average they spend 8.7 hours playing fantasy sports per week.
Daily fantasy sports play is a small but growing segment within the overall entertainment category.

Should I Paint a Tiny Bathroom Dark Brown?
Q: I have a very tiny bath room (about 5'x8'). The shower is tiled in very nice sand-colored tiles that are staying, and the walls of the room are tiled in high gloss tan tiles (which are going). I've already got a color scheme of dark brown with wee touches of orange, teal and a limey green.
My idea is to paint the room a dark chocolate brown. I've never, ever, made such a bold (for me) color choice before, and I'm not sure it'll work in such a tiny space. The room gets decent daylight, and I plan to upgrade the lighting, so I'm not worried about "light". Any thoughts, ideas, warnings to share?

Hive is very similar to Apache Pig. What it does is let you create tables and load external files into tables using SQL. Then it creates MapReduce jobs in Java. Java is a very wordy language so using Pig and Hive is simpler.
Some have said that Hive is a data warehouse tool (Bluntly put, that means an RDBMS used to do analytics before Hadoop was invented.). In fact you can use Apache Sqoop to load data into Hive or Hadoop from a relational database.
In this document we will introduce Hive mainly by using examples. You need to install Apache Hadoop first. Then you can install MySQL to store metadata. (Or you could use Derby. Here we use MySQL). Hive will create data in Hadoop.
So first install Hadoop. Then execute these steps:
Download and extract Hive to /usr/local/hive. Then in .bashrc set:
apt-get install mysql-server
apt-get install libmysql-java
Make this softlink:
export HIVE_HOME=/usr/local/hive/apache-hive-2.0.1-bin
export PATH=$PATH:$HIVE_HOME/bin
Then open MySQL to create the schema,etc:
ln -s /usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java.jar $HIVE_HOME/lib/mysql-connector-java.jar
Here use the schema that most nearly matches the version you are using. (In this tutorial we are using Hive 2.0.1 but there is no 2.0.1 schema. So we used 2.0.0.)
mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE metastore;
mysql> USE metastore;
mysql> SOURCE /usr/local/hive/apache-hive-2.0.1-bin/scripts/metastore/upgrade/mysql/hive-schema-2.0.0.mysql.sql
mysql> CREATE USER 'hiveuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY password';
Now edit $HIVE_HOME/conf/hive-site.xml:
mysql> GRANT all on *.* to 'hiveuser'@localhost identified by 'password';
mysql> flush privileges;
If you have set up Hadoop as a cluster you might need to run the next command. You will know if that is the case if you get an error about that.
<description>metadata is stored in a MySQL server</description>
<description>MySQL JDBC driver class</description>
<description>user name for connecting to mysql server</description>
<description>password for connecting to mysql server</description>
Also if you have installed Spark you could choose to execute this to get rid of a warning message-
$HADOOP_HOME/bin/hadoop dfsadmin -safemode leave
Now run the Hive shell:
unset SPARK_HOME
Load external CSV File
Much of what you do with Hive is load external files stored in Hadoop so that you can use SQL to work with them. So here is an example.
Download this file (It is an ssh log.) then open it with Google sheets or Excel or use sed and vi to replace the spaces with commas so that it will be comma-delimited.
Then the top of the file looks like this:
Now copy the file to Hadoop:
Notice that you put the directory name and not the name of the file in Hadoop.
hadoop fs -put /home/walker/Downloads/ssh.csv /data/ssh/
Then we load the file and create the schema all in one step:
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE IF NOT EXISTS sshlog(
sshtime STRING,
sshkey STRING,
sourceIP STRING,
socket STRING,
targetIP STRING,
port STRING,
status STRING,
direction STRING,
software STRING,
device STRING,
junk1 STRING,
junk2 STRING,
junk3 STRING,
Junk4 STRING,
Junk5 STRING )
COMMENT 'ssh log'
location '/data/ssh/';
Python User Defined Function (UDF)
Before we show some SQL commands (Technically they are called HQL, Hive Query Language.) we will show how to write a Python UDF:
Create the Python program ssh.py. Below we explain how it works.
Add it to make it available for Hive to execute this command in the Hive shell.
import sys
import datetime
import re
def bi(s):
if g:
return bin(int(g.group(1))) + bin(int(g.group(2))) + bin(int(g.group(3)))
for line in sys.stdin:
x, y, z = line.strip().split('\t')
print x,bi(y),bi(z)
Then run this transform operation calling the Python UDF:
add file /home/walker/Downloads/ssh.py
The Python function works off stdin and stdout. We split the input into a time and then two IP address fields. Then we run a function to convert the IP address to bit format. The TRANSFORM statement means pass those three values to the UDF.
SELECT TRANSFORM (sshtime, sourceip, targetip) USING 'python /home/walker/Downloads/ssh.py' as (sshtime, sourceIP, targetip) FROM sshlog;
1332017778 0b110000000b101010000b11001010 0b110000000b101010000b10101 NULL NULL
1332017793 0b110000000b101010000b11001010 0b110000000b101010000b10101 NULL NULL
Exercise: why does it return 2 null columns?
Create table insert data
No we go back and do something simpler - create a table and insert some data into it to illustrate HQL functions.
First create a table. People who know SQL will see that it is almost the same syntax.
Then add some data into it:
create table students (student string, age int);
insert into table students values('Walker', 33);
insert into table students values('Sam', 33);
insert into table students values('Sally', 33);
insert into table students values('Sue', 72);
insert into table students values('George', 56);
insert into table students values('William', 64);
insert into table students values('Ellen', 24);
insert into table students values('Jose', 72);
insert into table students values('Li', 56);
insert into table students values('Chris', 64);
insert into table students values('Ellen', 24);
insert into table students values('Sue', 72);
insert into table students values('Ricardo', 56);
insert into table students values('Wolfgang', 64);
insert into table students values('Melanie', 24);
insert into table students values('Monica', 36);
Now we can run regular SQL commands over that. Remember this is not a relational database. Hadoop as you will recall does not allow updating files: only adding and deleting them. So it creates new files for every operation.
select count(*) from students;
Here we can find all students whose birthday is a multiple of 3 by using the modulo (is divisible by) function. (Hive has many math functions.)
select age,pmod(age,3) from students where pmod(age,3) = 0;
Now, without discriminating against older people, we create two new tables: one with people older than 45 and one for people younger than that:
create table old as select * from students where age > 45;
eate table young as select * from students where age <= 45;
Now we can make the intersection of two tables by showing students from the old and new table whose name is 3 letters long:
It responds:
select young.student, old.student from young join old on (length(young.student) = 3) and (length(old.student) = 3);
Sam Sue
Sam Sue
Hive supports maps, structs, and array complex types. But it does not support the ability to add data to those with SQL yet. So we show the sort of awkward way of doing that below.
First, create a table with a map column, meaning a (key->value) column:
create table prices(product map);
Now we use the students table we created above to stand in as a proxy for this insert operation. You can use any table for that
insert into prices select map("abc", 1) from students limit 1;
Now you can see the data we just inserted:
select * from prices;
Where to go next
From here there are many areas where you could focus your learning as Hive has many features. For example you can learn about partitions, the decimal data type, working with dates, using Hive on Amazon, and using Hive with Apache Spark. You could learn about Beeline which is a newer Hive command line interface. (Beeline will replace the Hive cli in the future.) And you can dig into architectural like topics like SerDe, which is the Hive serializer-deserializer and Hive file storage formats.

"Josh is wonderful. The cinematography is gorgeous. It's an exciting new direction for Pakistani cinema"
Mohsin Hamid, author "The Reluctant fundamentalist", "Moth Smoke", "How to get filthy rich in rising Asia"
"It's a great achievement, and it is heart warming to know that we have an audience today that is supporting a film like JOSH which is critically acclaimed internationally but has a limited market in Pakistan."
Nadeem H. Mandviwalla, Distributor, The Platform
"The great multi Oscar winning director Frank Capra lives again, only this time as a young, Pakistani woman named Iram Bilal, who in JOSH, her stunning debut, manages the rare combination of trenchant social criticism and heart warming characters whose deep humanity shows in every frame."
Robert Rosenstone, Film Historian, Author
"Came back with a sense of poetic justice in the works, a sort of karma - what goes around comes around. Your depiction of a very important social issue in Pakistan is credible. I was inspired by your film. Keep up the good work. All the best,"
Roohi Vora, Department of English Lecturer, San Jose State University
"It's exciting to see a new, powerful and clear voice emerge from Pakistan from such a talented young woman. JOSH needs to be seen by Western audiences so they will understand that Pakistani citizens are demanding justice and equality for all her people.."
- Mitchell Block, Indiewire
"I am a huge fan of the intermingling stories of the characters, as it made for an intense viewing experience. Throw in an awesome soundtrack, and you have a very sophisticated and entertaining production."
- Farhan Aziz, Director, Latham & Watkins, viewer, sneak preview, Los Angeles
"JOSH is Top 3 at Mumbai International Film Festival"
- Mid Day, India, 24 October 2012
"The narrative feature film recipients are writer-director Iram Parveen Bilal for her film JOSH (Against The Grain)
- "Women in Film sets 10 film fund recipients."
- Variety, Oct 10, 2012
"Top 15 Recommended Films"
- Deepti D'Cunha, IFFI Goa Film Bazaar Viewing Room
"When it has distribution, run, don't walk to see JOSH. This is one that will stay with me like Slumdog Millionaire did."
- Virginia Belwood, viewer, Stanford University
[Iram] succeeds in showing us, rather than tellimg, something true and challenging. I was delighted that Iram's film succeeds in telling a great story about the coexistence of an almost medieval feudal rural society and a modern cosmopolitcan generation….If you get a chance to see this film, take it!"
- Jim Fruchterman, Social Entrepreneur
"Yes, JOSH has the beautiful sweeping cinematography. It has the vivid colors and characters that aren't just "types" but seem to have souls. But more than that, having never been to Pakistan, watching one movie I felt like the heart of a people was speaking…telling me things I don't otherwise get to hear, just through story and cinema instead of prose."
- Lena Khan, Writer/Director
"Josh really captures the electricity that comes with changing times. It is an engaging story with characters that will draw the audience in. Without being overly academic the film does a good job of capturing the Pakistan, that is full of contradictions; a country that manages to hold one's heart despite it's many flaws. Highly recommended!"
- Zamzam Syed Student Affairs, UC Davis, viewer, Stanford University
"Aamina is the face of many advertising campaigns and popular Pakistani television serials. She makes for a well-balanced team with her director Iram. While Aamina is earnest, Iram is feisty and no-holds-barred. Like Aamina, Iram finds her stories in free-spirited women etching out an identity in the most volatile situations. You understand why Fatima, the protagonist in JOSH, would be their mascot."
- "Tides of Change" - Femina, December Issue
"Pakistani director Iram Parveen Bilal likes to make an impact…whether its with her attire or the hard-hitting subject of her first independent full length feature film JOSH.
"I love men, but women are special."
- Sudeshna Chatterjee, Times Of India, Time Life

One of the web platform's greatest strengths is that no one company or organization controls the platform. For developers to use a platform feature, that feature needs to be present in some critical mass of browsers, which means the web platform is some rough consensus of what browser vendors ship.
In evolving the web platform, our goal is to help move the whole web forward. That means we need to collaborate and engage with other browser vendors. In rare cases, we're willing to act unilaterally when we perceive the benefits are worth the risks, but those exceptional circumstances are few and far between.
There are many ways to engage with other browser vendors, including meetings, informal lunches, and IRC chatrooms, but the most transparent and open way is to engage with other browser vendors and with other stakeholders in the web platform is through the web standards process. This document explains one approach to navigating the web standards process that has worked well in the past. It's written specifically for major features that will require a new spec or standards proposal.
Doing your homework
So, you've got an idea for a shiny new web platform feature. Great! That's how the platform improves. The first step is to do your homework. The web platform has been around for a while, and there's a fair chance that someone, somewhere has tried to solve a similar problem before. Before you invest a lot of effort in developing your idea, you should ask around (or use your favorite search engine) to see what happened in nearby problem spaces before. Doing your homework has two benefits:
One good outcome from this step, actually, is to find a dusty old proposal that solves the problem you're interested in. When that happens, you can brush the dust off, tune things up a bit, and you'll likely have found someone else who's invested in your proposal succeeding.
Internal vetting
Before marching off to convince the world of the benefits of your feature, it's now time to vet your proposal internally within the Chromium project. This step helps us focus our efforts and avoid spamming the world with too many crazy ideas (instead, we prefer spamming the world with crazy-awesome ideas).
You should prepare a short (one or two page) design doc of what problem you're trying to solve, what approach you're planning to use, whatever you've learned by doing your homework, and some examples of your idea making the world a better place. It's common to use Google Docs for this document because Docs has nice commenting and collaboration features.
When you're ready, send your design doc to the web-standards-dev at chromium.org. Ideally, one of us on web-standards-dev will give you feedback on your idea, help you iterate on the design, and let you know what the next steps are for your feature.
External vetting
After you've got the Chromium project behind you, it's time to talk with other browser vendors to get a sense for their level of interest. Often it's helpful to start by contacting folks individually because that lets you get quick feedback and refine your pitch. If you know the right folks to contact, go for it. If you're unsure, please feel encouraged to ask folks on the team who've done this before for recommendations and introductions.
The key question to ask at this point is not "will you implement this feature?", which can be hard for someone to answer on the spot, but rather "what do you think of this approach to solving this problem?" The response you get should give you a sense for whether these folks hate your idea (and will write tweet after tweet about how you're single-handedly destroying the web as we know it) or whether they'll be supportive. At this point, try to avoid getting into arguments over details of the proposal. (There's plenty of time for that later!)
Fleshing out the details
Once you've got the lay of the land (and if you still think this bird will fly), it's time to engaging the wider web standards community. In order to have a meaningful conversation about your feature, you'll want to have a more detailed description of your proposal in the form of a specification. Don't worry too much about being locked into what's in your first draft. Think of this document as the primordial soup out of which your specification will emerge. As you get more feedback and implementation experience, you can evolve this document and shape it into a high quality specification.
At this point, you might want to consider moving your specification to a vendor-neutral location. One option is to put your specification on the WhatWG wiki, which has a category for proposals. Another option is to ask our friends at the W3C to create a dvcs repository. If your proposal is destined for the IETF, you can create an Internet-Draft. Moving your specification to a vendor-neutral location signals that you're serious about engaging with the standards community.
To the mailing lists!
Proto-specification in hand, it's now time to email a standards mailing list. It's something of an art to pick the right mailing list. If you're in doubt, please don't hesitate to ask folks who've been through this process before. The whatwg list or the public-webapps list can be good places to start, even if the actual standards work will end up in a more specific forum. After some healthy discussion, you should also consider emailing webkit-dev if your feature involves changing WebKit. You can find out more about what's expected in such emails on the WebKit web site.
Try to have an open mind. It's true that some folks on these lists are bozos (people on the Internet are wrong???), but a goodly number of these folks have valuable experience and insight that you can benefit from. Keep in mind that you don't have to convince everyone on these mailing lists that your feature is the best thing since sliced bread. Your goal should be to raise awareness about what you're up to, gather useful feedback, and find out if anyone is actively opposed to your proposal. (If some folks are actively opposed to what you're doing, you'll probably want to circle back to web-standards-dev for advice.)
Experimental implementation
Adding new features to Blink is a two-step process. The first step is experimental implementation (i.e. behind a flag), and the second step is shipping. The former doesn't require approval, the latter does. Read the Blink Launch Process for details. Once you've got some discussion going on mailing lists, you should consider sending an Intent to Implement and writing an experimental implementation of your feature.
Balancing discussion and implementation of your feature is somewhat tricky and situation-dependent. Don't hesitate to ask for guidance and feedback, especially if you feel stuck on either front. The team is behind you, and we can help.
The goal of an experimental implementation is to improve your feature by getting implementation experience and feedback from web developers. That means you'll want the freedom to change your implementation based on what you learn. To avoid getting locked into our initial implementation, you should start by implementing your feature behind a runtime flag. With this approach, your feature will be hidden unless someone launches Chrome with a specific command line flag that enables your feature.
Once you've started implementing, consider creating a W3C Community Group around your feature (if no appropriate group already exists). That creates a forum that you can use to interact with other browser vendors and the broader community. A community group also smooths the transition onto the standards track.
Standards track
Deciding when to move your specification onto the standards track can be tricky. Hopefully in this process you've gotten enough traction to interest another browser vendor in implementing your feature. That's often a sign that it's time to move your specification on to the standards track because the other implementor will start giving you lots of feedback as they work through implementing your specification. Inevitably you'll disagree on some important aspects of how the feature should work. The standards process can help you resolve these sorts of disagreements amicably.
Where and when your feature ends up on the standards track is often a result of timing and politics. There are many hidden reasons (e.g., patents) why folks will want to steer you in one direction or another. If you feel like you're getting the runaround from working group chairs, please don't hesitate to ask for help. Often folks on the team with more experience can guess the hidden motivations and help decode whatever mixed messages you're getting.
Different standards bodies have different structures for how documents progress. Once your feature is on the standards track, your working group chair can help you sort out what comes next.
Adding a feature to the web platform can be a rewarding process. You have a chance to make a big impact on a platform used by many developers and many, many users. Because the web platform is shared between many parties with different interests, moving the platform forward requires interacting with these stakeholders and winning them over to your point of view. Adding features to the platform is part technical, part political but largely a matter of patience and persistence.
"You can resist an invading army; you cannot resist an idea whose time has come." -- Victor Hugo
We have folks on the team with a great deal of experience in navigating these waters. If you're feeling stuck or frustrated, please don't hesitate to reach out to web-standards-dev.

I don't see why there would be much difference in reliability, though. the parts that break are mainly fans. server parts tend to offer nicer monitoring options as well as the comfort of ECC (one less place for a heisenbug to live.) > 3- Do I need a distinct network for NFS sharing (thath's why I wanted certainly not. my experience is that a single job doesn't tend to overlap its MPI and NFS traffic much. if you share a single node among multiple jobs, this could be an issue. > 2 GigE ports per nodes) or I put the shared data on the master node(Quote > from R.W.Luke book: "This is bad, bad, bad")? well, he's wrong. sure, it's a hotspot, but it's also convenient, cheap and effective. going to a parallel filesystem will be a significant increase in complexity, though only you can know how badly you need the IO performance. a shared fileserver can deliver higher bandwidth through trunking or even a 10Gb link. configuring a couple fileservers obviously scales nicely at the expense of having a partitioned namespace. > 4- there is also the supermicro superserver 6015tw-tb with two dual > socket motherboard in a 1U form factor (node it's just two nodes put in one > box, no interconnections whatsoever apart from the PSU) with roughtly the > same price per CPU compare to the other supermicro solution, could be > interesting for an even more compact system, do you have any knowledge about > this system? AFAIK, the only downside is a custom formfactor (chassis, boards, PSU). but why is space such an issue for you? a stack of 20 1U servers is not all that big. it's also a newer system design which, given low-volt cpus, would be nicely heat-efficient. > 5- anything I didn't think of and might be worth checking such as > "Oh! you need a fast hard drive as i/o is critical...;-)" your IO will be over gigabit, so you don't need fast HD (current single disks average about 70 MB/s. even for a 20-node cluster, I'd seriously consider getting IPMI or at least controllable power.

Lingonberries, cookies and cream
I've started making somewhat Christmassy desserts already - I know, I know - but we've got no Thanksgiving to look forward to, you see :)
Layered crumbled cookies (I used oat cookies, but gingersnaps or gingerbread cookies would work, too), softly whipped cream (perhaps with some vanilla), lingonberry jam..
That's all. And that's delicious...

Video of a texting bride went viral today, as Web watchers take a moment to see the woman tap through her own wedding ceremony.
In these times, have we become so technology-driven that checking Facebook or Twitter is now a necessity, even during special occasions?
While the video was posted online back in 2009, its popularity took off only recently. The YouTube clip – published by user jimcostafilms1 and originally shot in 2008 in San Diego, Calif. – shows the bride discreetly pulling out her cellphone from under her veil and texting with one hand. Her other hand was being held by her father as they walked down the aisle.
With the bride and her father's back to everyone in attendance, the minister continues with his opening remarks while the photographer catches this funny moment on film. "At one point, I noticed her doing it through my lens and I had to pull away from the camera to make certain I was seeing what I thought I was seeing," he writes. Her father is seen trying to hold back a laugh and allow his daughter to do what she wants on her special day.
Maybe the text went something like, "Getting married LOL."
