Informatica Rises to the Big Data Management Challenge

Managing data even before it got ?Big? was never all that easy. Now that IT organizations are not only starting to realize how much data there really is, thanks to technologies such as Hadoop that make it affordable to store it all, data management is rapidly becoming a crisis. The challenge is going to be finding a way to make any given subset of all that Big Data available at the just the right time that an application wants to invoke it.

At the Strata + Hadoop World conference this week, Informatica announced that it intends to rise to meet that challenge with the launch of Informatica PowerCenter Big Data Edition, a framework for managing data large and small across Hadoop and more traditional enterprise data repositories.

According to John Haddad, director of product marketing for Informatica, Big Data is really at the nexus of three converging megatrends: cloud computing, mobile computing and social networking. Trying to manage that volume of data using existing data management approaches simply won?t scale, says Haddad. What?s required is a new approach to data management based on a visual set of tools that extract, load and transform (ETL) data at very high rates of speed.

The goal, says Haddad, is to provide a layer of data management services that essentially masks the complexity of underlying data repositories such as Hadoop.

In a world where IT organizations are moving from actively managing 10 to 20 percent of their available data to managing all of it, the challenges are nothing short of immense. Unfortunately, most IT organizations are not going to get more people to throw at the Big Data management challenge, which ultimately creates a need for a data management framework that allows the existing IT staff to effectively manage massive amounts of information that will continue to grow exponentially as far as the eye can see.

Analysis: Calm Romney pins hopes on momentum

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Republican Mitt Romney is acting like a challenger who feels he has enough momentum and time to overtake the president by Election Day, two weeks from now.

Judging from Monday's final debate, President Barack Obama almost seems to agree.

Obama was clearly the more aggressive combatant in the 90-minute forum, whacking Romney's personal investment record, truthfulness and overseas fundraising. Romney, meantime, went out of his way to blunt his differences with the president on several key foreign policy matters ? supposedly the debate's focus ? and to appear calm, moderate and non-threatening.

Romney's approach was one typically taken by front-runners: First, do no harm. Don't stir the pot. Keep the clock running.

Obama's forcefulness appeared chiefly aimed at discouraged Democrats who might not bother voting, rather than at the sliver of undecided voters in the handful of states still in play. Romney is not the benign, acceptable alternative he claims to be, Obama seemed to be saying, and I, your president, am finally willing to fight tooth and nail for a second term after sleepwalking through the first debate, which triggered Romney's rise in the polls.

"It's all get-out-the-vote now," said Matt Bennett, a veteran of Democratic campaigns. "If you're undecided now, you ain't voting."

"Obama will win the debate on points," Bennett said, "but it won't matter much."

A number of other Democrats shared that view. Interest in the third and final debate probably suffered, they said, from voter fatigue, competition from televised football and baseball games, and the official topic ? foreign policy ? in a campaign dominated by jobs and the economy.

These Democrats, however, don't necessarily think Obama will lose. Some feel Romney took a big gamble by being so tame in the final face-to-face encounter.

Obama still holds a slight edge in Ohio in most independent polls. It's the state that can almost seal the president's re-election if he holds it, because it would force Romney to sweep virtually every other contested state, including tough Wisconsin.

Romney's stay-the-course demeanor Monday points to confidence that his slight rise in the polls will continue, even if only a smidgen of voters are truly undecided. Democrats note that many thousands of people are already voting through early balloting programs in key states.

The election's outcome may turn on whether Obama's get-out-the-vote ground troops can outrun Romney's momentum. Polls show Romney doing considerably better among likely voters, as opposed to registered voters. That gives Obama's volunteers a chance to hunt down thousands of "soft supporters," and persuade them to get to a polling place.

From the debate's opening minutes, Romney showed no appetite for verbal fisticuffs. Moderator Bob Schieffer invited the former Massachusetts governor to critique Obama's handling of the fatal attack on a U.S. Consulate in Libya, a topic Romney had fumbled in the second debate, six days ago.

Romney showed no interest. Instead, he congratulated the president on the killing of Osama bin Laden, hoping to negate an Obama strong point as quickly as possible.

Throughout the evening, Romney continued a recent trend of moderating his foreign policy positions. He seemed bent on presenting himself as a sound commander in chief, even if it required him to narrow his differences with the president.

Romney offered unusual praise for Obama's war efforts in Afghanistan, declaring the 2010 surge of 33,000 U.S. troops a success and asserting that efforts to train Afghan security forces are on track to enable the U.S. and its allies to put the Afghans fully in charge of security by the end of 2014.

Romney said U.S. forces should complete their withdrawal on that schedule. Previously he has criticized the setting of a specific withdrawal date.

And on Iran, Romney mollified his previous criticism of Obama's sanctions policy. He stressed that resorting to war to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon would be a last option, softening the hawkish tone that had been a hallmark of his campaign.

Longtime GOP strategist Terry Holt defended Romney's soft touch.

"His first goal is to appear presidential," Holt said. "This is not a grand jury where all he has to do is indict. People are looking to him for presidential qualities. Cool, calm and clear."

Obama, by contrast, looked for every chance to criticize Romney on as many topics as possible.

"Governor, when it comes to our foreign policy, you seem to want to import the foreign policies of the 1980s, just like the social policies of the 1950s and the economic policies of the 1920s," Obama said.

He chided Romney for having said Russia was America's greatest geopolitical foe. "The Cold War's been over for 20 years," Obama said.

"Presidents always have an advantage when debating foreign policy," said Republican consultant Matt Mackowiak. "Romney did well enough tonight to maintain his momentum and win this race."

Obama has 14 days to stop that momentum. He plunges in immediately Tuesday with events in Delray Beach, Fla., and Dayton, Ohio. On Wednesday and Thursday the president plans to campaign in Iowa, Colorado, California, Nevada, Florida, Virginia and Ohio.

Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, on Tuesday were headed to Nevada and Colorado. Romney planned to campaign Wednesday in Nevada and Iowa, and Thursday and Friday in Ohio.

Neither ticket can afford to write off the other competitive states. But Ohio seems destined to be the testing ground of whether Obama's tiny lead and big ground operation can hold off Romney's October momentum.

JERUSALEM (AP) ? Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip fired dozens of rockets and mortar shells into southern Israel on Wednesday in the heaviest bombardment on the area in months, drawing ominous Israeli threats of retaliation and dangers of escalation.

The violence came a day after a landmark visit to Gaza by the emir of Qatar. Israeli officials suggested the visit, the first by a head of state to the Hamas-ruled territory, emboldened the militant group.

The rocket fire began shortly after the emir left Gaza late Tuesday and continued through the night. Israeli officials said more than 80 projectiles were fired, and Hamas claimed responsibility for many of the attacks.

Israel responded with a series of airstrikes on rocket launchers, killing two Palestinian militants, according to Gaza medical officials. Two other Palestinians were killed Tuesday.

Three Thai laborers working on an Israeli farm were wounded, two seriously, when a rocket hit a chicken coop. Other rockets badly damaged five houses and broke car windows. Schools in the area were closed.

Many people spent the day indoors, while others stayed in close proximity to the makeshift cement shelters found in the streets of southern Israeli towns. In one farming community, shrapnel covered trees and a children's playhouse in a backyard.

"Sometimes it feels like a scene out of the movie 'Platoon,' something out of the Vietnam war. We can stay at home and just hear the noise of the war," said Tamara Cohen, a resident of the border community of Ein Habesor whose children, ages 9 and 5, spent the night in a fortified "safe room" in their home.

A video issued by Hamas' military wing showed six rockets peeling off in rapid succession, then later, from what appears to be a different location, eight rockets shoot off, leaving plumes of black smoke behind them. Hamas said the video was made earlier in the day, though it provided no proof.

Hamas officials shuttered schools in border areas. Residents said they worried an escalation of fighting would ruin the upcoming Muslim celebration of Eid al-Adha, when Gaza residents feast, visit families, dress their children in new clothes and take them out to play.

Despite the violence, streets in Gaza City were crowded with residents snapping up clothes and food ahead of Friday's start of the holiday. Traffic jams blocked main roads, and prayer leaders chanted songs for the feast.

Israeli leaders threatened tougher action against the rocket fire.

"We didn't ask for this escalation and didn't initiate it," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said after touring a missile defense battery. "But if it continues, we are prepared to embark on a far more extensive and penetrating operation." The army said the "Iron Dome" defense system intercepted at least eight rockets.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak told Israel Radio that "if we need a ground operation, there will be a ground operation. We will do whatever necessary to stop this wave" of violence.

Israel's U.N. Ambassador, Ron Prosor, wrote to the U.N. Security Council warning members that if they don't condemn the rocket attacks, "there could be tragic consequences" because Hamas and other militants will interpret the silence "as a green light for terror and provocation."

Israel carried out a broad military offensive in Gaza nearly four years ago in response to years of rocket fire. Salvos from Gaza have largely subsided since then, though sporadic violence persists.

The territory is home to numerous militant groups, including murky al-Qaida-inspired organizations that do not answer to Hamas. Gaza has also been flooded with weapons in recent years, many of them believed to have been smuggled from northern Africa and into Gaza through tunnels under the Egyptian border.

On Wednesday, the African country of Sudan accused Israel of carrying out airstrikes that blew up a weapons factory in the capital, Khartoum. Israeli officials did not comment, but analysts said that if the reports were true, the airstrike might have attacked a weapons smuggling route. Sudan has accused Israel of being behind a similar attack on an arms convoy in 2009.

Hostilities in Gaza have been simmering for weeks, with militants sporadically firing rockets into Israel and the Israeli air force responding with airstrikes.

Hamas, which has killed hundreds of Israelis in suicide bombings and other attacks, has largely avoided attacks since a devastating Israeli military offensive nearly four years ago. Instead, smaller groups have been behind most rocket fire, sometimes with Hamas' tacit blessing and sometimes against its wishes.

While Hamas remains virulently anti-Israel, it has sought to keep things quiet as it consolidates its control of Gaza. The group violently seized the territory from the rival, Western-backed Fatah movement five years ago.

Tuesday's visit by Qatar's emir, Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, gave a powerful boost of legitimacy to Hamas rule, which is not internationally recognized.

Hamas officials said the emir urged Hamas to do everything possible to avoid violence with Israel. Israel's foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, suggested the visit had the opposite effect.

"I think what we see, especially yesterday, the visit of the emir of Qatar in Gaza, it's clear support for terror and terrorist activity," he said at a news conference with the visiting EU foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton.

In his meeting with Ashton, Israeli President Shimon Peres charged that Qatari money is funding Hamas attacks. "No one in the world could agree to the current situation" of repeated rocket salvos, Peres said.

Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum accused Israel of trying to raise tensions. He said Israel was upset about the "political and economic gains" reaped from the emir's visit, and wanted to "disrupt the atmosphere ahead of the holiday."

Mukheimar Abu Sada, an independent analyst in Gaza, said Hamas had no interest in clashing with Israel now but likely felt pressured after two of its men were killed in an Israeli strike late Tuesday.

"Hamas is under pressure from the people: 'Where is the resistance that you speak of?' Hamas needed to save face," Abu Sada said.

AMC Channels Return To Dish After $700M Settlement - Business ...

Mad Men

AMC's "Mad Men" will be restored to Dish after $700M settlement following $2.4B lawsuit.

Cablevision and AMC have finally settled their $2.4 billion lawsuit against Dish after the satellite provider dropped the network, and other VOOM channels, in June.

"Dish will pay a settlement of $700 million to Cablevision and AMC Networks, $80 million of which will go for the purchase of Cablevision's multichannel video and distribution licenses in 45 U.S. metropolitan areas," reports The Wrap.

Dish resumed broadcast of the AMC channel on Sunday--just in time for the broadcast of the popular "The Walking Dead."

Other networks, including AMC, IFC, Sundance Channel and WE TV, will be available to Dish customers starting November 1.

After today's cease fire in what has been a very dramatic cable war, it seems there are no hard feelings between the cable channel and its on-again-off-again satellite provider.

Dave Shull, senior vice president of programming at Dish, states, "We are glad to have settled the case and reestablished our long-term relationships with AMC Networks and Cablevision. This multi-year deal delivers a fair value for both parties and includes digital expansion opportunities for AMC Networks? programming.?

Cablevision, too, is playing nice, with AMC Networks President and CEO Josh Sapan saying "We are glad to partner again with DISH Network and are delighted to bring back our popular channels and programming to their customers."

The settlement comes after a "mistake" note was posted on the New York State Supreme Court website Thursday that said there would be a ?possible settlement? when the trial resumed.

As the trial proceded in New York Court last week, things looked increasingly bad for Dish as deleted emails were uncovered that would hurt their case "in a big way" while AMC's "The Walking Dead" premiere last week earned huge, better-than-broadcast ratings--proving AMC?s status as one of the top basic cable networks.

Publishing in Israel: A Snapshot Overview | Publishing Perspectives

?At any one moment roughly half the books on the local bestseller lists will be translations.?

By Daniel Kalder

Ziv Lewis

Israel is a small but energetic book market, with its own peculiarities, notes Ziv Lewis, Foreign Rights and Acquisitions Manager at the Kinneret Zmora Dvir Publishing House.

?In general we are lucky to operate in a literary market. The most successful books in translated fiction tend to the literary end of the spectrum. In recent years, Nicole Krauss?s The History Of Love, Jonathan Safran Foer?s Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Aleksander Hemon?s The Lazarus Project have all sold correspondingly more here than abroad. Other literary authors like Paul Auster and Haruki Murakami were bestsellers here in Israel in the 1980s before they received international acclaim.?

The appetite for books in the country of only seven million is prodigious: 4,000,000 Hebrew readers, 1,500,000 Arabic readers and 1,500,000 Russian readers support two major bookselling chains (Steimatzky and Tsomet Sefarim) and a total of 300 stores. 4,200 new titles are published each year while 35 million books are sold annually. The market offers good opportunities for foreign publishers and agents as 40% of those books are translations, out of which a mere 40% come from the English speaking world.

?We have no language barrier. At any one moment roughly half the books on the local bestseller lists will be translations,? explains Lewis. ?The percentage increases for children?s and young adult books. Israel is a cultural melting pot and there is no problem translating, publishing and marketing translated work. Ten years ago Indian fiction was particularly popular here, and that was followed by Spanish. Now the trend is Scandinavia, of course, and we are constantly trying to assess where the next fruitful literary shopping area will be: China? Brazil??

A Growing Community of Publishers

Of the fifty publishers listed by The Book Publishers Association of Israel, half are involved in foreign acquisitions. These include the venerable Kinneret Zmora, founded in Odessa in 1919 (backlist of over 6,500 titles, publishing 300 titles annually), the Keter Publishing House (backlist of 3,300 titles, publishing 100 new titles annually), Yediot Achronot (backlist of over 3,000 titles and publishing around 250 new titles annually) and Am Oved (backlist of over 5,000 copies, currently publishing 80 new titles annually). The average print run is 1,500 copies, while author advances range from ?1,000 to ?100,000 although, adds Lewis, ?most are under ?3,000.? The standard royalty scale for Israel is 6% from retail price on the first 3000 copies sold, jumping to 8% on sales up to 6000 and 10% thereafter. As for contracts:

?We try and insist on an eight-year license. In a market as small as ours, there is very little chance of a new contract so it makes sense to give the publisher maximum opportunity to exploit the market fully.?

E-books however have scarcely made an impact on the Israeli market:

?We waited a long time for a Hebrew-friendly e-reader and unfortunately when e-vrit finally arrived, it failed to capture the public?s imagination. Kindle, Sony, Nook, Kobo, etc. are not available, and with no successful Hebrew-friendly platform it looks like Israel will skip the dedicated e-book reader phase altogether and move straight to tablet.?

The fact is, says Lewis, ?Firstly, in this tiny country with over 300 bookstores no one is ever very far from a bookshop, and secondly the price of paper books is so low due to deep discounting.?

Bookstore Competition Leads to Pricing Problems

Indeed, although the average catalog price of a new book is 18 euros, they rarely sell at that price ? and pricing is the major problem in the Israeli market as Lewis explains:

?In the absence of a fixed price law, there is an ongoing discount battle between the two chains with the majority of books in recent years being sold at well over 50% discount, and often as high as 80%. This has had a catastrophic effect on the industry which is now in deep crisis. Independent book stores are closing, publishers are selling greater quantities of books but are earning far less per copy sold, and it has become impossible to market a book successfully unless it is part of one of the special bookstore promotions.?

As a result the government has proposed a law preventing discount price reduction for 18 months from first publication. This will increase the cost of books in Israel, says Lewis, but he wonders: ?Will it deal effectively with the deep discounting demanded from publishers by the retail chains??

Still, the battle of the chains has not been entirely negative:

?Israelis love to read. One of the positive effects of the battle of the chains is the democratization of the market. Books are not a luxury item here and are affordable for everybody. This has meant that we have an ever-widening circle of readers in recent years. The largest potential right now is in the teenage market. Israeli youngsters have compulsory military service from the age of 18 (3 years for boys, 2 for girls) and so our teenage market is clearly delineated. The top series regularly sell in excess of 50,000 copies per title.?
