Distance: Approximately\xa04 miles.
Difficulty: Moderate to difficult depending on one\'s ability.
Elevation gain:\xa01000 feet +/- from the Mining Camp Trailhead.
Time:\xa0 Expect\xa02-3 hours for this hike.
Fun factor: High!
\xa0Off we go, again, into the Superstitions!\xa0 Regardless of the season, we hike here every few weeks, because we love it just that much.\xa0 We\'ll use\xa0the Mining Camp Trailhead.\xa0 There is some shade on this hike during the morning hours, and the temps are forecast to be in the 80\'s at the posted\xa0start time.\xa0
Here is an excellent link with descriptions, photos, and stats.\xa0 Please read it to make sure this\xa0hike matches your abilities, but\xa0do\xa0note, we will start at a different trailhead than that noted in this link.\xa0 http://hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=686
What to Bring: Plenty of water (we\'d suggest 2-3 liters at a minimum), sunscreen, a hat, proper hiking shoes, a snack, your camera and your love of the trails.\xa0 We\'ll stop in the\xa0Draw for a snack before heading back down.
Directions to the trailhead: Take U.S. 60 to Idaho Road (exit 196) and go north for 2.25 miles to SR88, the Apache Trail. Turn NE (slight right) on SR88 and continue about 5.5 miles or so to Nodak Rd. (It is the turn for the Mining Camp Restaurant, so look for the signs for that turn). Turn right at Nodak Rd. and then left at the 2nd Rd. (Mining Camp Rd.) and continue to follow the signs to the restaurant. At the restaurant, turn to the left into the parking lot, and park away from the restaurant on the west end of the lot.
Please note these are all paved roads\xa0ending into\xa0a gravel parking lot.\xa0 There is no fee to park here, but there are no facilities available, either, so plan accordingly.\xa0
For those coming down the 101 to the 202, it is suggested that you exit at Brown Road (rather than going down to US 60) and take it east about 5 miles to AZ 88. From there, turn left, and head to the Mining Camp restaurant turnoff.
Suggested carpool location: 6:30 am at the Home Depot at Power and US 60. Go east on the Superstition Freeway (US 60) to Superstition Springs Blvd. exit 187. Take that exit, turn right and go 1/2 mile east, across Power Road. Then turn left, toward Home Depot, at the second driveway. Park in the southwest corner of the lot, behind Burger King. The Home Depot address is 6838 E Superstition Springs Blvd., Mesa, AZ 85208.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please state if you will be at the carpool spot, or, in the alternative, whether you will meet at the trailhead. You are responsible for yourself in this regard. There is no guarantee that anyone will be at the carpool location. If no one has indicated they will be there, please consider proceeding to the trailhead.
The forest service imposes a 15 hiker limit on all Superstition Wilderness hikes.\xa0

One of the top 10 trails in the U.S... the West Fork trail will usher you through a tremendous variety of natural wonders. Here, you can enjoy a "secret and magical forest" feel, as you meander along a shallow and perfectly clear creek that runs at the foot of towering canyon walls amid emerald evergreens and lush leafy trees.
There are a number of reasons why West Fork is the most popular trail of the Coconino National Forest. You\'ll know some of them once you\'ve strolled beside the pleasant little stream that ripples along the canyon floor and looked up, way up, at the dizzying cliffs that tower above it.
As for the trail itself, it\'s an easy stroll, but you do have to cross the stream in a number of places. Usually, that involves negotiating a few strategically placed stepping stones or taking a couple of steps in shallow water. Some hikers will enjoy walking within the stream itself.
Our hikes are generally at a pace conducive to social banter of interest to heathens, and allowing for time for photography of the local geology and wildlife. However, this will be an out-n-back with a time limit to be determined by the group. This will allow for hikers to go at their own pace and turn around at the agreed upon time. Expect this hike to last 3-4 hours.
The Trailhead of the West Fork Trail is at The Call of the Canyon Day-Use Area. This is set in a clearing next to a grassy meadow which in summer is filled with wildflowers of every color and frequented by humming birds and large butterflies.
A path crosses Oak Creek and follows it downstream for a short distance, through an abandoned apple orchard, passing by the site of the ruins of the Mayhew Lodge with overgrown remnants of fireplaces, stone floors, and even the swimming pool. See below for historical discussion of the orchard and the resort.
The official trail starts just beyond, near the West Fork confluence. The canyon is hundreds of feet deep and moderately narrow from the start, wooded, overgrown and shaded with many fallen trees and old logs, often lying in the stream way. The path crosses the creek many times and\xa0in places there are paths at both sides.
Occasionally the creek has pools 3-5 feet deep which harbor trout and other fish although usually the water (in summer) is only a few inches deep. The stream flows gently, and the hike is very pleasant and relaxing.\xa0Only occasional sunlight reaches the canyon floor so the trip is ideal for the hot summer months.
Wildlife is quite abundant. Typical are butterflies, colorful birds, squirrels, lizards and snakes.

SAFETY FIRST\u2026 we have no medical provisions . . . and be alert for \u201cpoison ivy\u201d.
How to find us:
Meet at The Call of the Canyon Day-Use Area on the west side of AZ 89A between mileposts 384 and 385... If lost or late, my cell is[masked]\u2026 but cell phone reception is poor throughout canyon.
To get there...
From the 101 & I-17, take I-17 north about 83 miles to exit 298 for AZ-179 north to Sedona. Follow AZ-179 north about 15 miles through several traffic circles and turn right at the traffic circle for US Highway 89A. Then drive north 10.5 miles to the Call of the Canyon Day Use Area (between mileposts 384 & 385) on the left (west) side of the road. Roads are 100% paved.
\xa0Google says this parking lot is about 2 hr. from the intersection of the 101 and I-17. HOWEVER this location is very popular and especially so during the fall. EXPECT A FULL PARKING LOT and you may be PARKING ALONG THE ROAD\u2026 and perhaps several hundred yards away. SO PLAN EXTRA TIME JUST FOR PARKING.
MESSAGE FOR CARPOOLERS:
Carpooling can save gas and entry fees and also enhance the social experience. If you\u2019d like to carpool, you must contact others for arrangements. You could email members or post comments on this announcement page.
Following the hike\u2026 we will reconvene in Sedona at a location TBD for rehydration and lunch .
HISTORY
In the early 1880\'s, one of the pioneers traveling up Oak Creek Canyon noticed a rather level area on either side of the creek where the soil was deep and the temperature just right to grow apples and other fruit.
The first pioneer to plant fruit trees at West Fork was C.S. (Bear) Howard. He sold his rights to John L.V. Thomas and his son and they expanded the orchard and also grew vegetables and other cash crops to sell to the lumberjacks in Flagstaff. The land was sold to the Mayhews in 1925.
Carl Mayhew expanded the original cabin and turned it into a hunting and fishing lodge \u2013 and a remote \u201cgetaway\u201d for early Hollywood stars and other notables, including President Hoover, Clark Gable, Susan Hayward, Cesar Romero, Jimmy Stewart, Walt Disney, and Maureen O\'Hara.
During that time, the lodge was nearly self-sufficient with fruits from the orchard, fish from the creek, vegetables from plots planted near the orchard, and meat and eggs from chickens housed in a coop still seen today at the foot of the cliff near the remains of the lodge.
The mystic beauty of the area inspired novelist Zane Grey to write Call of the Canyon here in the early 1920\'s. He reportedly stayed at the Mayhew Lodge during part of his sojourn here, as well as in a smaller cabin north of the orchard. The novel later inspired Sedona\'s first movie by the same name.
The U. S. Forest Service acquired the property in 1969 as an historic site, only to have the lodge burn down in 1980.
Over time, the orchards at West Fork became known as the "Mayhew Orchard" on the west side of the creek, and the "Call of the Canyon Orchard" on the east side.
Through the last half of the twentieth century, the ancient trees suffered increasing neglect, injury and decline. The irrigation ditch, which can still be seen slightly upslope from the Mayhew Orchard, slowly filled in with debris, fallen trees, and duff. Insects, woodpeckers, and flycatchers drilled thousands of holes in the bark, some in neat little rows. Storm damage, drought, and bears climbing to reach the fruit contributed to increasing numbers of dead and broken branches, where disease could find easy entry. In the last decades of the 1900\u2019s, the gnarled old trees were largely abandoned.
In 2002, the Friends of the Forest created the Orchard Committee to begin caring for the trees. Initial work revolved around heavy pruning of dead and diseased limbs, suckers, and crossed branches. As the work progressed, the orchard crew began slowly reducing the height of the trees, so that visitors (both human and animal) could reach the apples more easily, without climbing or damaging the trees. Some of the trees were easily thirty feet high at the outset. All visitors are welcome to pick the apples in the fall. To facilitate this and reduce damage to the trees, the Friends purchased several \u201capple-pickers\u201d on poles that visitors can check out at the entry booth.
GEOLOGY
The colorful eroded walls of the canyon record environmental conditions on the far western edge of the Pangea supercontinent[masked] million years ago.
The Kaibab limestone on top is the youngest rock unit on the southern Colorado Plateau and caps the Mogollon Rim in the Sedona area (wherever basalt is absent). It was deposited in an open marine setting that became shallower and more restricted towards the east.
The Toroweap formation underlies the Kaibab. We saw this combination at Walnut Canyon National Park.
A green line often indicates this Toroweap layering above the Coconino Sandstone below. The golden buff-colored Coconino sandstone is pure quartz deposited in a migrating windblown sand dune environment.
The lowermost rock deposits are the Sycamore Pass member of the Schnebly Hill Formation. The Schnebly Hill Formation records depositions at the margins of the Pedregosa Sea when it encroached from the southeast of Sedona. Briefly marine deposits were laid down (the narrow white layer, known as the Fort Apache Member, we saw at Chicken Point). Above that layer, as the Sea regressed, red, cross-stratified and ripple-laminated, sandstones were laid down from wind-blown deposits about 280 million years ago.
Above it all are the youngest rocks exposed in the canyon - a series of basalt lava flows about 6 million years old form the east rim of the canyon.

What's New in Solr 5 Security, Presented by Anshum Gupta, Lucidworks
Apache Solr has evolved into a highly scalable system, capable of handling a lot of data and high number of queries, but only recently was a mechanism to secure access in Solr provided. Apache Solr 5.2 shipped with pluggable authentication and authorization modules. These modules enable users to write their own plugins for managing security in Solr.
This talk will cover an overview of both the authentication and authorization frameworks, and how they work together within Solr. It will also provide an overview of existing plugins and how to enable them to restrict user access to resources within Solr.
Speaker Bio: Anshum Gupta is a committer and PMC member on the Apache Lucene / Solr project with over 10 years of experience with search and related technologies. He currently works at Lucidworks and spends most of his time working on SolrCloud i.e. the distributed feature set of Apache Solr. Prior to joining Lucidworks, he was a member of the team that developed and launched AWS CloudSearch - The AWS search as a service offering. He was also a key contributor in the search teams at various start ups. Anshum is also the release manager for Solr 5.
Solr Custom Collector: The Anti-Score, Presented by Michael Kosten, Getty Images
Sometimes, you don't want to return just the top scoring documents as your search results.\xa0 If you have an eCommerce site, you may want to ensure that multiple lines of business are represented. If you incorporate customer interaction in your score, you may want to ensure that newer documents or certain categories are still represented and that your results don't become stale. This requirement could be handled in middleware that post processes the search results, by requesting extra rows and rearranging them or by interleaving multiple queries. A better solution is to implement your own custom collector in Solr, so that search results can be arranged in any order. I'll demonstrate a solution that returns top scoring documents, but grouped within categories. For example, a search for books could interweave the best fiction and non-fiction in a single query result. I'll also demonstrate how to implement a custom priority queue to reduce memory requirements if there are many categories, and how the custom collector can be integrated into Solr without modifying the base distribution.
Speaker Bio: Michael Kosten Principal Engineer at Getty Images attached to Search. He's been working on the Search team at Getty Images for the past 8 years. Before that, he was a software development consultant for 17 years to the insurance and construction industries, both in a solo-practice and as a partner in a consulting firm. Getty Images is a premier site for stock photographs and footage as well for stills and videos from news, sports, fashion and entertainment events.

Cloud Foundry is a popular Platform as a Service open source project. Supported by a fast growing community, Cloud Foundry is being adopted by many Fortune 500 companies that are keen to deliver CI & CD to their developers. To leverage the rich functionality of Cloud Foundry, we modified Diego (Cloud Foundry cluster manger) to use Mesos as a resource manger.
In the meetup we will share the motivation for that project, discuss implementation details, show a demo, and review how Cloud Foundry could complement the existing Mesos frameworks. \xa0

Please note our new meeting location at ASU\'s University Services Building on Rural Rd.
Abstract:
When someone says sports and predictive analytics, two questions tend to immediately surface: Can you predict the outcome of a game? And can you predict the performance of a certain player? Partnerships between SAP, the NFL and the NHL has allowed us to answer yes to both of these questions in certain cases. Here we present predictive schemes for predicting player performance for the NFL and predicting the outcome of playoff games for the NHL.
Speaker Bio:
Eric Blabac is a global analytics expert and evangelist in the SAP Data Science group within SAP. His background is based on advanced analytics with substantial experience in statistical modeling, predictive analytics, big data, data mining, forecasting, optimization and management consulting. Eric has worked across a variety of industries including retail, sports and entertainment. financial services, consumer product goods and healthcare. He is also the author of The Encyclopedia of Baseball Statistics - From A to ZR, a complete reference of all modern baseball statistics, what they really mean, how to calculate them and how to use them.\xa0Eric holds two Masters degrees (MS), Statistics and Applied Mathematics from Iowa State University, a Master\u2019s in Business Administration (MBA) from Grand Canyon University and a \xa0Bachelors (BSc) degree in Mathematics from Iowa State University.

We live in a world where it is more and more commonplace to work in a polyglot environment, communications between disparate services is commonplace, and the need to transmit messages between those services (likely written in various languages) is a must. \xa0
Come learn about Google\'s Protocol Buffers and Facebook\'s (now Apache) Thrift and why they are often times a better "wire-protocol" than the more ubiquitous formats of JSON and XML. \xa0Take a look at the pros and cons of each and see a demo of how they can be used to achieve data sanity in a multi-language environment.

But in large organizations that are highly distributed these systems almost certainly speak different protocols, understand different data formats, and that nature of connectivity changes all the time. Messaging-based solutions are a popular answer these days but they don\u2019t address many of the fundamental challenges of enterprise dataflow.
This talk will outline the broad range of capabilities needed in an end-to-end dataflow strategy and will put the value of messaging-based solutions in context. Systems throughout an enterprise evolve at different rates. Architectures are in a constant state of transformation. Ensuring compliance of distributed systems at scale requires new lineage tracking techniques. The idea of \u2018real-time\u2019 is more than just the delivery latency of a message. It is critical that organizations understand and have total control of their information supply chain.
In late 2014 the National Security Agency (NSA) donated to the Apache Software Foundation the project now known as Apache NiFi (incubating). NiFi resulted from more than eight years of lessons learned and development designed to tackle the complex and broad challenges of dataflow at scale. This talk details those lessons learned and the key features of NiFi.

We\'re back from our CascadiaJS break with another amazing SeattleJS at Galvanize in Pioneer Square. Thank you Galvanize for hosting us this month and to DoubleDown Interact for the food!
We have two great talks planned:
Topic 1
Apache Cordova, Ionic, TACO, Jasmine, and more
Ryan Salva
First, Ryan Salva is a JavaScript developer, Apache Cordova committer, Visual Studio program manager, CrossFitter, sci-fi connoisseur and whiskey enthusiast. With over a decade of experience in software development, you could exhaust two Scrabble\u2122 bags accounting for all the acronyms and technologies Ryan has influenced, but the important thing to know is this: Ryan is a passionate storyteller with deep insight into market forces, technology, user experience and design. Today, he owns tooling for cross-platform app development at Microsoft. Tomorrow, the world.
You\u2019ve got an app idea and a weekend to code it. This month, we\u2019ll learn what tools, tips and tricks you need to bootstrap an MVP in no time at all using client-side code (HTML, CSS and JS).
We\u2019ll start by getting the dev environment configured. Then we\u2019ll move to the UI and talk about iterating quickly \u2013 first in a browser, then in an emulator and finally on a mobile device. Next, we\u2019ll tackle app logic and \u2013 GASP! \u2013 learn how to use unit testing to make rapid prototyping easy and breezy. Along the way, we\u2019ll talk about a variety of app frameworks and tools you can use in your mobile development workflow including Cordova, Ionic, TACO, Jasmine and more. You\u2019ll learn how to:
\u2022\xa0Configure your dev environment for speed
\u2022\xa0Iterate on your app\u2019s UI and logic quickly without breaking !@#$
\u2022\xa0Make it look good \u2013 so good \u2013 on iOS and Android
\u2022\xa0Debug your code on devices
\n\n\n
Topic 2
Maker.js
Dan Marshall
Dan Marshall is a self-taught programmer who made his first drawing-creation software program at the age of 13. Thirty three years later he\u2019s back to doing that same thing. Dan has been enjoying coding in JavaScript since 1995 and currently works for Microsoft.
Maker.js is a JavaScript library focused on the needs of people who create line drawings for 2D CNC machines. Learn how maker.js uses plain objects and an open recursive schema to represent a drawing which can be reused in others\u2019 drawings. See how Maker.js can eliminate current drawing toolchains and modernize the delivery and creation of customized drawings by leveraging HTML5, Node.js, and NPM.

Cross Platform Mobile Apps with the Ionic Framework
What happens when you combine Google\'s AngularJS, the super cool JavaScript MVC Framework with Apache Cordova, the cross platform mobile framework using web technology? You get the Ionic Framework.\xa0
With Ionic you build mobile apps using the web technology you already know. Think the apps will be slow and clunky? Think again, Ionic comes out of the box with well design CSS3 classes to make beautiful and fluid apps. Using Cordova and jQuery Mobile already?\xa0
Well, with Ionic you will learn to love mobile development again. No more write-\xadonly spaghetti code, Ionic makes it easy to create clean, testable, logical mobile apps. Need to support tablet and phone in the same app? Ionic has you covered. You can create one app which uses responsive design to change its look based on the device\'s screen dimensions.\xa0
In this session, we will build an app together to show many of Ionic\'s major features including CollectionRepeat, UI Widgets, Modals, and Slide Boxes. We will also discuss development workflow, debugging, CSS customization, and tools.
\n\n\nA huge THANK YOU to Troy Miles for putting this together! Check out his blog here at: http://therockncoder.blogspot.com/.\xa0 \xa0Twitter here: https://twitter.com/therockncoder\xa0Github here:\xa0https://github.com/Rockncoder/\xa0
Troy also teaches Angular.JS, MEAN Stack at CodeDistrict. \xa0http://codedistrict.io/ If you like his talk, definitely check out his class schedule. \xa0As usual, food and drink will be served. \xa0 Parking is around $3 in the Culver City Promenade Mall next door. \xa0 Come hungry to eat and hungry to learn! \xa0See you at the meetup!\xa0

Well this talk is about proving it with protocol level test doubles.\xa0
This talk will not be about in-process mocking, spying or stubbing. Instead, we will describe the benefits of using test doubles at the *protocol* level.\xa0
When you are building a service, either monolithic or micro, you will have external dependences such as databases, message queues and/or HTTP services. The key idea is that in order to achieve fault-tolerance you must test failure scenarios across all your external dependencies and, crucially, network failures that may occur between your application and these other services.
The talk will be structured as follows:
- Concept and motivation: prepare to be convinced you should be testing this stuff!
- Two specific examples:
\xa0 1. Using Wiremock for HTTP dependencies with examples of how to test malformed responses, delays and invalid HTTP
\xa0 2. Database: Stubbed Cassandra - a test double I built for Apache Cassandra to allow the simulation of faults typically only found in large multi data centre clusters.\xa0
- How to simulate network faults using tools like saboteur, tc and iptables.\xa0
My hope is by the end of this talk you\'ll want to go and build a test double for all your dependencies.\xa0
I\'ll cover the above topics via slides and short demos.
Who should attend:
Any hands on technical person: developers, QAs, architects

The meetup will be a bit different for this month. Please keep in mind it is not geared towards Apache Cassandra beginners or people interested in learning more, it is for individuals who feel like they are proficient with Apache Cassandra. If you are a beginner and or are just interested in learning more, join us for our free Cassandra Summit 2015 in September, you can find more details here.\xa0
As most of you know at Cassandra Summit 2015 DataStax will be partnering with O\'Reilly Media to administer the first ever certification program for Apache Cassandra, with Administrator and Developer certification available. This is the very first time we are doing this, so we are taking every step to ensure it is done properly. One part of this is beta testing the actual certification test and this is where we\'d like to enlist your help to provide feedback on the beta; and in return you will get a voucher to take the certification test for free when it\'s generally available to the public in late September.
For the beta test we are looking for Administrators and Developers who are proficient in Cassandra because we will not be offering training at this event, only the beta test. If you would like to prep in advance, we will be sending the materials needed two weeks prior to the event. If you have any questions or concerns, email Lina at [masked].
Seats are limited so if you feel like you are proficient in Cassandra and would like to take part in the beta testing, you can rsvp here.
*PLEASE NOTE: This is not the actual certification test, if you do well on the beta you do not get certified. You will have to take the actual certification test at a later date in order to get certified.
Addtional Information:
What to bring: Please bring yourself, along with a laptop. Nothing needs to be downloaded prior but you will need to bring a laptop.
Parking: There is plenty of parking available in the parking structure behind the building as well as street parking.
Duration: The event will be 2 hours long, 90 mins for the testing and 30 mins for you to provide feedback.
Food and drink will be served.

\n\nZhen He: Recent Advances in the Field of Deep Learning
The area of neural networks has undergone revolutionary changes in the past 4 years.\xa0This has resulted in moving neural networks from the fringes of the machine learning community to center stage. Recently researchers have discovered effective ways of training neural networks that are 10 layers deep that contain billions of parameters. These deep neural networks have produced\xa0outstanding results in the area of image recognition, speech recognition, natural language processing, multi-modal learning, reinforcement learning, etc. For example in the area of image recognition the state-of-the-art deep learning system can achieve an error rate under 5%, which is more accurate than most humans can achieve.\xa0
In this talk I will present some recent applications of deep learning to solve very interesting problems. I will explain how deep learning works in an easy and approachable manner. I will present programming tools for implementing deep learning solutions to solve machine learning problems. \xa0I will also present tips on how to train deep learning algorithms to achieve high accuracy.\xa0

Featured speaker is Bj\xf6rn Frantz\xe9n with many years of experience from the integration field.\xa0
There are many pitfalls in enterprise integration and many books have been written about it. Enterprise Integration Patterns can be said to be a map over best-practices when it comes to enterprise integration. As with all patterns they are not meant to be perfect, nor should they be followed relentlessly without proper analysis. The seminar will focus on collaborative workshops where attendees will discuss and share experiences. To start the seminar there will be a short presentation on EIP and after the workshops there will be a demonstration on how to apply EIP with Apache Camel.
Apache Camel is an open source integration framework that is based on the EIP patterns. Apache Camel is part of RedHat\'s strategic integration platform, RedHat Fuse, but can also be used stand alone.\xa0
See these links for Enterprise Integration Patterns:

Food and drinks will be provided.
Interactively Search and Visualize Your Big Data, Presented by Romain Rigaux, Cloudera
Open up your user base to the data! Contrary to programming and SQL, almost everybody knows how to search. This talk describes through an interactive demo based on open source Hue how users can graphically search their data in Hadoop. The underlying technical details of the application and its interaction with Apache Solr will be clarified.
The session will detail how to get started with data indexing in just a few clicks as well as explore several data analysis scenarios with the latest Solr Analytics Facets and Spark Streaming. Through a Web browser, attendees will be shown how to explore and visualize data for quick answers. The search dashboard in Hue, with its draggable charts and dynamic interface, lets any non-technical user look for documents or patterns.
Attendees of this talk will learn how to get started with interactive search visualization in their Solr cluster.
Speaker: Romain is the Lead of Hue and an engineer at Cloudera. Before he worked on distributed systems at Yahoo! and Google and has been building Web apps since the early days.
An Introduction to NLP4L: Natural Language Processing Tool for Apache Lucene, Presented by Koji Sekiguchi, RONDHUIT
NLP4L is a natural language processing tool for Apache Lucene written in Scala. The main objective of this OSS project is to use NLP technologies to improve Lucene users' search experience. The unique difference between NLP4L and other NLP tools is that NLP4L itself references Lucene index instead of raw text as its processing target. The session will describe how to use Scala to obtain word statistics and N-gram statistics from Lucene index and introduces various tools including the Hidden Markov model that are developed using these functions.
Speaker: Koji Sekiguchi is a Lucene/Solr committer and PMC member. He enrolled in the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in 2012 to major in natural language processing and received a master's degree in information science in 2014. He is the founder of RONDHUIT, an Apache Lucene/Solr consulting/training service provider based in Japan.

Apache Camel & JBoss Fuse
The Apache Camel mediation framework implements the defacto standard Enterprise Integration Patterns defined by Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Wolf in their treatise publication,\xa0http://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/eaipatterns.html. Learn how Camel implements these design patterns in Camel processors and how Camel integrates with the enterprise with Camel components. Presentation will provide and overview of the Camel framework and how Camel is deployed as an ESB in the Fuse OSGi container and the JBoss EAP JEE container. We will build a couple of demo apps using the Fuse Integration Eclipse plugins deployed in JBoss Developer Studio. The Fuse Integration tooling provides a graphical editor to build Camel routes and can be deployed into any Eclipse installation. Presentation will also touch on using A-MQ in the Fuse runtime and will show how to configure and monitor Camel routes using Hawt.io and JBoss Operations Network.\xa0

\n\n\nR client for Solr
Scott Chamberlain, rOpenSci/UC Berkeley
Solr is a widely used search engine tool. As such, the R community needs a client to talk to Solr - to simplify searching Solr installations, and even managing configurations, cores, collections, and documents. This talk will go over the R client in development, and run through a couple of use cases that should provide good reasons to interact with Solr from R.
Speaker Bio:\xa0Scott co-founded rOpenSci (http://ropensci.org housed within UC Berkeley), a developer collective building R tools for open and reproducible science. Scott was an ecologist in a former life, but now makes open source software, mostly in R, and dabbles in Python and Ruby.

This meetup will focus on Large scale Distributed ML on Spark. Title abstract and speaker bio below.\xa0The talk will be published on the Apache Spark\xa0channel on YouTube.
Agenda:
6:30 - 7:00 :: Mingling
7:00 - 7:05 :: Welcome\xa0
7:05 - 8:15 :: Technical talk\xa0
8:15 - 9:00 :: Mingling
Title:\xa0Large scale Distributed ML on Spark
Abstract:\xa0Hadoop brought MapReduce and Big Data to mainstream; however, as requirements and usage models expand, new big data analysis paradigms beyond MapReduce have inevitably emerged. In particular, there is increasing demand from organizations to discover and explore data using advanced analytics algorithms (e.g., large-scale machine learning, graph analysis, statistic modeling) for deep insights. In this talk, we will present our efforts on building large scale distributed ML on Apache Spark with many "web-scale" companies, including very complex and advanced analytics applications/algorithms (e.g., topic modeling, deep neural network, etc.), as well as massively scalable learning system/platform leveraging both application and infrastructure specific optimizations (exploring data sparsity, parameter server, etc.).

The focus of this meeting is to address this question and provide some insights into where these systems are headed. In addition, we have a talk on Machine Learning.
Talk 1 (30 Minutes)
Practical Tips for successfully running Spark in a Hadoop Cluster
The meeting will start with a talk by Chris Putnam of Cloudera, who will talk about running Spark on Yarn and tips on how to successfully run Spark on a Hadoop Cluster. His\xa0presentation takes a high level look at Spark from a Administrator\u2019s perspective and provides key concepts and tips to support Spark users on the cluster. \xa0\xa0
His talk will be followed by a talk on Machine Learning by Chuck Anderson.
Talk 2 (40 Minutes)
Machine learning in the wild: a cautionary tale
This talk compares logistic regression performance of 5 different open source packages, primarily focusing on Spark. We cover specific cases, applying Spark 1.4 binary classification logisticSGD to different example datasets. We examine these results to illustrate pitfalls that can arise, how to be mindful of them, and ways to avoid them. \xa0There will be\xa0a live demonstration running Spark and processing the example data.

Talks
Building a Real-time Fraud Engine at Paytm Labs
Jacob Park, Platform Engineering, Paytm Labs
Paytm Labs has developed a real-time fraud engine utilizing Akka, Cassandra, and Spray at its basis. To suite the requirements of the integrating services, the real-time engine was built to abide by the characteristics defined in the Reactive Manifesto to ensure responsiveness and resiliency.
\u2022This talk will explore how Akka, Cassandra, and Spray are candidate technologies to build a Reactive System.
\u2022\xa0This talk will explore a basic and a simple design for a real-time engine utilizing HTTP, Environment, and Executor layers inspired by Apache Spark.
\u2022\xa0This talk will explore various Akka, Cassandra, and Spray patterns to build such layers effectively.
\u2022\xa0This talk will explain various abstractions for concurrency in Scala and the advantages and disadvantages in creating a highly-performant yet predictable Executor layer with considerations of the assumption enforced upon the unit of execution.
How you convince your manager to adopt Scala.js in production: Take 1.
Katrin Shechtman, Senior Software Engineer, BoldRadius
The talk will present fully functional sample application developed with Scala.js, scalatags, scalacss and other Scala and Typesafe technologies. We aim to show all the pros and cons for having Scala coast-to-coast approach to web-application development and encourage people not to shy away from asking difficult questions challenging this approach. Participants can expect to gain a clear view on the current state of the Scala based client side technologies and take away an activator template with application code that could be used as a base for technical discussions with their peers and managers.

It is frequently referred to as the grip of the "expert knife fighter." People who have very little knowledge of the knife make statements like that.
The reverse grip has its strengths and weaknesses. It\'s important to know both because the reverse grip is an important part of the overall toolbox of those who study the blade. Module 4 of the Patriot Knife Fighting System focuses on Reverse grip knife.
In this course the student will learn the Apache Method, drills from the Filipino martial arts, and techniques from the Raven Method of Fernan Vargas.
===========================================
The course is part of the full Patriot Knife Fighting certification system, taught by martial arts instructor Tom Howanic. This is Module #4, but there are no pre-requisites to take this course.

- Collected, cleansed, and de-identified data\xa0
- Discovered trends & correlations with relevant external data layers
- Visualized a compelling story to share with the public. \xa0We combined our raw inhaler use data with publicly available geo-shapefiles. We were able to prototype using QGIS & Tableau, and then build out a time-lapsed visualization using D3 & Mapbox.
Headquartered in Madison, Propeller Health is the leading digital health platform for asthma and COPD. Through sensors, mobile apps, analytics, and services, Propeller Health continuously tracks inhaler use & helps reduce the cost of care while delivering better quality of life for individuals with chronic respiratory disease.\xa0
Cloudera is sponsoring food and drink for this meetup.
Spark is creating a lot of excitement in the machine learning community because the integrated nature of the ecosystem seems to offer true support for the end-to-end analytical lifecycle on big data volumes - from exploration and visualisation through training to scoring - in a way that nothing else does.\xa0
During the evening, you will explore a dataset, train a simple machine learning model and test it's predictions on a holdout set - all in Spark.
Prerequisites to enjoy the Meetup
\u2022 Some familiarity with the basic concepts of machine learning (e.g. linear regression, simple decision trees)
\u2022 Some hands on experience\xa0with basic data wrangling in Spark
More details to follow.

Hope to see you all there.
Here is Mark's bio:
I have been an Apache Tomcat committer since November 2003. I initially worked on Tomcat in my free time but since August 2008 I have been employed by Pivotal (formerly SpringSource). I spend most of my time on Tomcat but I also work on tc Server, Pivotal's Servlet & JSP container based on Tomcat. Additionally, I lead the Pivotal security team.
I am the Tomcat 8 release manager and I try to release every month. I am currently focused on Tomcat 9 development which will support Servlet 4.0 (including HTTP/2) and is expected to also include updated JSP, EL and WebSocket support (I am a member of the relevant JCP expert groups). Elsewhere at the ASF, I am a member of the ASF security and infrastructure teams and I am on the Commons PMC where I focus on Commons Pool and DBCP. I am a member of the ASF.\xa0

Hi all,
it is with great pleasure that I announce the date of the next Elasticsearch Frankfurt Usergroup meetup.
We will have at least three talks on topics from the Elasticsearch ecosystem, the precise titles are still being worked out, but will be announced soon.
The meetup will take place in the offices of the codecentric AG.
And finally, if the end of August seems a long time to wait, we will have a social gathering in the interim, with no talks but a focus on getting to know each other and swapping experiences.
I look forward to seeing lots of you again as well as meeting many new people!
Regards,
S\xf6nke

Detailed abstract and speaker bio below. This talk will be filmed and posted on the Apache Spark YouTube page.
Agenda:
6:30 - 7:00 :: Mingling
7:00 - 7:05 :: Welcome
7:05 - 8:15 :: Technical talk
8:15 - 9:00 :: Mingling
To enter the building: At security \u2013 let them know you are there for the Spark Meetup and need to go to Capital One \u2013 5th\xa0Floor. All guests must register once on the 5th floor.
Abstract: Ever wonder what goes into building, testing, and maintaining a codebase such as Spark? Building a system that others can contribute to pain-free out of the box is a daunting task, but one that, when done right, engages the community and fosters long term growth. In this talk we'll discuss how Spark has conquered those problems, lessons learned along the way, and how we're moving forward to continue making development for Spark easier within the community.
Specifically we'll discuss:* Why understanding how Spark is built helps the developer community* The tools that've been created to ease the build burden* A walk through of the `dev/run-tests(-jenkins)` scripts and how to diagnose errors
This talk will be aimed primarily at developers seeking to contribute to Spark, anyone wanting to better understand Spark's build and CI environment, or anyone (developer or otherwise) looking at the possibility of building custom Spark forks for their organization.
\n\n\nBrennon York will be our speaker, he is an aspiring aerobatic pilot moonlighting as a data engineer at Capital One. His true loves are distributed computing, scalable architectures, and programming languages. He's been working hard to make Spark a stronger community and inspire collaboration through his efforts on GraphX and the core build environment.

MongoDB Version 3.0: A Deep Dive.\xa0Released last March, version 3.0 brings a host of new capability to MongoDB including the Wired Tiger storage engine and the pluggable storage engine API. MongoDB 3.0 features improvements in concurrency as well as compression and lock-free algorithms via Wired Tiger. We\'ll explore all these new features, their impact on performance, and dive into the mechanics of MongoDB\'s latest release.\xa0
\n\nBryan Reinero is a Developer Advocate for MongoDB, helping the community of users grow. Formerly a Senior Consulting Engineer at MongoDB, Bryan helped users optimize MongoDB for scale and performance and a was contributor to the Java Driver. Earlier, Bryan was Software Engineering Manager at Valueclick, building and managing large scale marketing applications for advertising, retargeting, real-time bidding and campaign optimization. Earlier still, Bryan specialized in software for embedded systems at Ricoh Corporation and developed data analysis and signal processing software at the Experimental Physics Branch of Ames Research Center.\xa0
\n\n\nSargun Dhillon is a Software Engineer for Riak.\xa0
In this talk I will dive into the coming challenges with the datacenter as a computer. Why we need massively distributed databases that are fault tolerant to node failure--and how geodiversity has an effect upon how we build the Riak database. Specifically, we will walk through. \xa0
1. What are the coming challenges with databases?
2.\xa0Why do AP, distributed databases make sense?
3.\xa0Why do we need certain tools (CRDTs) to help us use these AP databases in a reasonable fashion?
\n\nSargun Dhillon (@sargun) has a background in operations, and distributed systems, specifically in the area of infrastructure. Previous to this, he\'s worked at companies such as Microsoft, Yammer, and deCarta, which was later acquired by Uber. There he was responsible for operations, as well as infrastructure.

Discussion Topic:\xa0
As enterprises across all major industries deploy Hadoop into corporate data and processing environments, a common approach to working with metadata and data governance becomes a necessity. \xa0Apache Atlas was created by a consortium of enterprises to meet this need. Atlas enhances governance capabilities in Hadoop for both prescriptive and forensic models enriched by taxonomical metadata. Atlas, at its core, is designed to exchange metadata with other tools and processes within and outside of the Hadoop stack. Atlas enables platform-agnostic governance controls that effectively address enterprise compliance requirements.

\u2022\xa07pm-9pm - presentation\xa0
This presentation will provide a deep dive into new Apache project:\xa0Apache Ignite.\xa0Apache Ignite is the in-memory data fabric that combines in-memory cluster & computing, in-memory data grid and in-memory streaming under one umbrella of a fabric. In-memory data fabric slides between applications and various data sources and provides ultimate performance and scalability to the applications. Apache Ignite is the first general purpose in-memory computing platform in Apache Software Foundation family. We believe it will have same effect on Fast Data processing as Hadoop has on Big Data processing. Better understanding of inner details behind Apache Ignite will hopefully encourage more companies and individual committers to join the project.

Join us at the 10th Apache Flink Meetup, drinks and sandwiches sponsored by data Artisans.
Talks:
1. Flink Community Update
By Robert Metzger
2. Apache Flink cluster deployment on Docker using Docker-Compose
By Romeo Kienzler
Often resource requirements on Data Processing Clusters exhibit high variation. So in this case elastic deployments reduce total cost of ownership. In this talk we will introduce the basic concepts on container isolation exemplified on Docker and explain how Apache Flink is made elastic using Docker-Compose. Finally we push the cluster to the cloud exemplified on the IBM Docker Cloud.
3. Graph Processing with Apache Flink
By Andra Lungu
Gelly is Flink\'s large-scale graph processing API which leverages Flink\'s efficient delta iterations to map various graph processing models (vertex-centric and gather-sum-apply) to dataflows. Gelly allows Flink users to perform end-to-end data analysis, without having to build complex pipelines and combine different systems. It can be seamlessly combined with Flink\'s DataSet API, which means that pre-processing, graph creation, graph analysis and post-processing can be done in the same application.

Development of the next major release of Tomcat 9 is well underway with significant improvements to TLS support, basic support for HTTP/2 and a host of other improvements. In addition, Tomcat 9 will support the new JavaEE 8 specifications including the possible inclusion of Reactive Streams support in Servlet 4.0. This presentation will provide an overview of what these new features and enhancements mean for users of Tomcat and provide an insight into the current roadmap for Tomcat 9 development.
Here is Mark introducing himself in his own words.
I have been an Apache Tomcat committer since November 2003. I initially worked on Tomcat in my free time but since August 2008 I have been employed by Pivotal (formerly SpringSource). I spend most of my time on Tomcat but I also work on tc Server, Pivotal's Servlet & JSP container based on Tomcat. Additionally, I lead the Pivotal security team.
I am the Tomcat 8 release manager and I try to release every month. I am currently focused on Tomcat 9 development which will support Servlet 4.0 (including HTTP/2) and is expected to also include updated JSP, EL and WebSocket support (I am a member of the relevant JCP expert groups). Elsewhere at the ASF, I am a member of the ASF security and infrastructure teams and I am on the Commons PMC where I focus on Commons Pool and DBCP. I am a member of the ASF.\xa0
Please join us for drinks and appetizers as we celebrate the start of the SoCal Talend Meetup.
This will be an opportunity for members to meet each other in a casual environment and discuss future Meetup topics and agendas.

You write idiomatic Clojure code, we translate it to Cascading (or Apache Pig) and run it on thousands of machines. PigPen provides a seamless mesh between the code used to build your pipeline and the code running remotely. It does this by capturing lexical closures and packaging them for evaluation later, so your map-reduce applications now look and feel like they're running on a single machine. Gone are the days of verbose UDFs being defined elsewhere and manual context sharing. PigPen allows you develop your jobs iteratively (and locally) using the Clojure REPL and also to write unit and generative tests using the existing Clojure frameworks.
PigPen brings the simplicity and elegance of Clojure to big data.

And they want them on their Android and iOS and, yes, Windows phones and tablets. So what are the options? Do you need to get the Java books out again? Or take a trip back to the 1990s and learn Objective C? Or are you going to chase the \u201cwrite once, run everywhere\u201d dream?
I\u2019m going to run through the options for mobile development using Visual Studio including the Windows Universal Platform, Xamarin and Apache Cordova, without the need to learn how to use native development environments. With cross-platform development there is an element of compromise and there is no ideal solution for all situations, so I will help you make some choices. I will show how to get the most out of the tooling and get as near as possible to cross-platform Nirvana with minimum effort. And I\'ll show some tips, tricks and traps that will save you hours of frustration when it comes to getting your apps published.

Apache Flink community update\xa0- Henry
Will present the current community updates for Apache Flink including releases, community growth, new features, adoptions, and meetups happening.
Stateful distributed stream processing\xa0-\xa0Gyula
More complex streaming applications generally need to store some state of the running computations in a fault-tolerant manner. This talk discusses the concept of operator state and compares state management in current stream processing frameworks such as Apache Flink Streaming, Apache Spark Streaming, Apache Storm and Apache Samza.
We will go over the recent changes in Flink streaming that introduce a unique set of tools to manage state in a scalable, fault-tolerant way backed by a lightweight asynchronous checkpointing algorithm.
When Micro-batching Isn\'t Good Enough - Ted
I will describe several use cases where batch and micro batch processing is not appropriate and describe why this is so. \xa0
I will also describe what a true streaming solution needs to provide for solving these problems.
These use cases will be taken from real industrial situations, but the descriptions will drive down to technical details as well.
\n\nLarge-Scale Graph Analysis with Apache Flink - Vasia
This talk will give an ove\xa0rview of Flink\u2019s Graph processing API, Gelly. We will discuss how iterative operators and other unique features of Flink make it a competitive alternative for large-scale graph processing. We will show how one can elegantly express graph analysis tasks, using common Flink operators and how different graph processing models, like vertex-centric and gather-sum-apply, can be easily mapped to Flink dataflows.
Looking Forward - Apahe Flink research preview/roadmap - Paris
In this talk we will give a broad preview of the research behind Flink and the fundamentals we are working on to make Flink a use-case complete system for data processing. The topics we will cover will be incremental checkpointing, windowing optimisations, machine learning pipeline design and streaming graph analytics on Flink.
Finally, we will introduce Karamel (karamel.io), a new way of deploying and reproducing experiments with Flink on EC2, GCC, Openstack and bare metal.

Summary:\xa0Data Science meets Software Development
Alexis works in a Data Innovation Lab with a horde of Data Scientists. Data Scientists gather data, clean data, apply Machine Learning algorithms and produce results, all of that with specialized tools (Dataiku, Scikit-Learn, R...). These processes run on a single machine, on data that is fixed in time, and they have no constraint on execution speed.
With his fellow Developers, Alexis\' goal is to bring these processes to production. Developers and Scientists have very different constraints: developers want the code to be versioned, to be tested, to be deployed automatically and to produce logs. Developers also need it to run in production on distributed architectures(Spark, Hadoop, \u2026), with fixed versions of languages and frameworks (Scala\u2026), and with data that changes every day.
In this talk, Alexis will explain how Developers work hand-in-hand with Data Scientists to shorten the path to running data workflows in production.

Summary: Is Apache Spark Ready for the Cloud?\xa0
Many technology companies are turning to the cloud for scalable, elastic infrastructure to store and analyze user behavior data, information from wearables, sensor data, and more. However, running big data tools, like Apache Spark, in the cloud presents a host of challenges. Spark is typically deployed in a dedicated data center as a next step in an organizations big data deployment strategy to gain deeper and faster insights. However, as the advantages of big data in the cloud become more apparent and gain wider adoption, can organizations also reap the benefits of Spark as a service without sacrificing its primary benefit\u2014speed? In other words, is Spark ready for the cloud?\xa0
In this presentation, Praveen Seluka, a software engineer and Apache Spark expert at Qubole, will outline how the combination of Apache Spark and AWS can be implemented to ensure high performance, based on real-world experience. The audience will learn\xa0how to effectively deploy Spark in the cloud, key technological challenges with delivering it as a service that can scale and deliver the performance Spark was designed to deliver, and the important benefits that can be achieved through Spark as a Service.

Mt Baldy is the second highest mountain in Arizona (highest is Mt Humphreys). The best description can be found at HikeArizona.com\xa0and we\'ll be starting at the West Baldy trailhead (also described here), going counter-clockwise.
We will plan to leave the Phoenix area before 4:00 PM on Friday, 8/28, and arrive at the Sheeps Crossing trailhead in the early evening. My goal is to then hike in no more than a couple of miles to find a nice campsite along the West Fork of the Lower Colorado River. This will give us the chance to acclimate to the altitude before hiking on Saturday.
We\'ll leave our gear on Saturday morning and do the entire 17-mile loop, returning to the campsite for a relaxing evening, weather permitting, before driving back to Phoenix on Sunday AM.\xa0
10 spots total for this hike.\xa0Sorry, no dogs.\xa0
Carpooling:
We\'ll meet at the Apache/Loop 101 Park and Ride and leave from there, arranging carpools at the time of departure. A contribution of $10 or more (gas costs) is recommended if you are a rider.
Recommended experience: This will be my first time on this trail, but trusted sources confirm that it is not a beginner hike. I do my best to not be a trail-taskmaster but the entire loop is a challenging 17 miles with 2000 ft accumulated gain (the peak reaches over 11,300 ft), so I expect we will be hiking the entire day. You should be fit and capable enough to complete the loop. I am listing this as "intermediate," but if you have concerns about your ability, please contact me and we\'ll discuss that.
For those not used to high altitudes, please note:
This is a high altitude hike; we are shooting for the second highest mountain in Arizona, so be prepared. You WILL need wind and sun protection, and summer afternoons mean a thunderstorm isn\'t out of the question; bring rain gear. A serious pair of shoes or boots is another necessity, and the Forest Service notes that the trail is "not cleared of hazards." Expect that you will dehydrate more rapidly at high altitude, so bring even more water, not to mention calories to burn, and substantial snacks.
Water available:
Water should be available but will need to be filtered/treated.
Other helpful information:
\u2022\xa0Be sure to bring appropriate gear based on the forecast for the weekend (I\'ll be posting weather reports in the days leading up to the trip).
\u2022\xa0The summit itself is on the White Mountain Apache reservation, and I will be asking for permission for our group to enter and spend a few minutes on the summit. If we are not able to obtain permission, we\'ll just continue on the crossover section of the loop.

Performing Artist
Once again here at the Smiling Wolf Music Studio we\'ve struck gold!
What can be said that isn\'t already well known in the Austin jazz community about Suzi Stern\'s innovative jazz style and exceptional talent?
She\'s among Austin\'s jazz royalty up there at the top right along with Donna Menthol, Rich Harney, Madie Kay and many others soon to join us.
When you hear Suzi Stern you think Jazz, New Music, Singer Songwriter
"Grace and Elegance" / Jazz Times
"Wonderful, soaring with jazzy lyricism" / Downbeat
"Poetic\u2026masterful\u2026control and richness\u2026poignant" /All About Jazz
The Austin American Statesman says of jazz singer Suzi Stern; \u201cStern has learned the great secret that transcends art - that the voice from the heart is at the center of all virtuosity.\u201d
The combination of Stern\u2019s emotional clear voice, flying over her uncatagorizable compositions with her poignant lyrics creates a magic that moves the listener and is unforgettable. Jazz pianist and Columbia Records recording artist Denny Zeitlin says of Stern "It has been years since a singer has affected me so profoundly. Suzi has it all: a fantastic vocal instrument, effortless musicality, and a special way of working with the material and evoking the deepest emotions."
(use scroll bar at the right of page to scan the entire page down to read more and check out the reviews from Downbeat, Jazztimes, All About Jazz, Cadence and more)
Suzi was born in Buffalo, the daughter of jazz violinist Harry Stern who toured with The Vaughn Monroe big band and was leader of his own orchestras in Western New York of which which Suzi\'s mother was the featured singer. Her maternal grandfather spent his life touring in Vaudeville as a comic acrobat sharing the bill with the likes of a young Frank Sinatra, The Marx Brothers, George Burns and Bob Hope. Growing up in a family where creative outpourings were encouraged and being able to hear her fathers musicians come over for post gig jams gave Stern a clear sense that music was her true love at a very early age.
Stern has released 7 jazz CD\u2019s to date under her own name (Viewpoint Records, Aardvark Records and Bus Biscuit Records), and has performed on a myriad of other artists projects. Her latest 2013 release "Romancing the Dark" steps out of the jazz idiom for which she is known, and is a collection of Stern\u2019s own original compositions and arrangements.
Jazz Times reviewer H. Allen Williams states that "Stern\u2019s musical style pallet is wide...a testament to her wide reaching command of many styles and her ability to match a musical mood to the feeling of her words."
She is a published poet and her lyrics appear in the Bill Evans second edition fake book and David Friesen\'s book of transcriptions called " Years Through Time", both Hal Leonard publications.
Suzi has penned lyrics to a plethora of classic jazz compositions not typically sung and has collaborated with numerous contemporary artists on their works such as Denny Zeitlin\'s "Quiet Now", Joe Henderson\'s "Black Narcissus" and Joshua Redman\'s "Hide and Seek" which have been recorded by artists worldwide.
A few of Stern\'s musical colleagues and collaborators of note have been: Denny Zeitlin, David Friesen, Joe Henderson, Mal Waldron,Leroy Vinegar, Jesseca Williams, Helen Sung, Bud Shank, Peggy Stern, Jay Clayton, Harvie S, Stefan Karlsson, Randy Porter, Doug Hall to name only a few.
Stern and her partner pianist-composer George Oldziey are the producers of a jazz house concert series known as Casa Karen in Austin Texas which has become known as the best venue for acoustic jazz in central Texas with it\'s 9 foot concert grand piano as the center piece. This series has attracted touring artists over the past 5 years the likes of Eddie Gomez, Alex Sipiagin, Stan Killian, Fred Hamilton, Rich Perry, Don Edwards, Ed Soph, David Amram, Roseanna Vitro, Mark Soskin, Dean Johnson, Tim Horner, Carmen Bradford and many of the best artists from the Austin area.
When not traveling to perform, Stern teaches in her home town of Austin Texas where she is one of the most sought after vocal coaches and studio singers in the area.

CADENCE MAGAZINE - "Making artistic use of her delicate and beautiful voice, Stern parlays in-depth knowledge of the tunes and an uncanny sense of timing to create memorable interpretations of these classic melodies"
5 Stars out of 5 ! YAHOO REVIEW by Susan Francis -\u201cSinger-songwriter Suzi Stern immerses herself into the tracks, and her personal touch translates to audiences. With music, lyrics, and arrangements written by Stern, the songs embody an intimacy that soothes the listener completely. Romancing the Dark brims with deep emotions expressing love that\'s been lost and never forgotten.\u201d
5 out of 5 Stars!! Amazon by Grady Harp HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWERVINE VOICE "Stern not only possesses a naturally beautiful voice, capable of exploring all the emotions songs deliver to the artist, but she composed the music and lyrics and is responsible for the arrangements\u2026it is a stunning achievement! Special music from a special lady. Let it seep in!!"
Michael Point DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE - "Her voice is wonderful, soaring with jazzy lyricism.."
JAZZ TIMES H. Allen Williams - "Romancing the Dark keeps a strong foundation of the well-known jazz compositional techniques...but it borrows from many styles to yield a well-conceived and flowing collection of tunes that is both engaging and enjoyable. \u201cFirefly\u201d begins the romance with a beautiful and subtle waltz ballad that has Stern\u2019s clear tone and diction coupled with a haunting cello line by Douglas Harvey that is an interweaving counterpoint throughout Sterns melodic statement. Stern\u2019s lyrics are certainly poetic and the accompanying booklet really allows the listener to understand and appreciate the true talent and deeper meanings of the lyrics\u2026.Stern\u2019s phrasing is always clear and in accord with the musical environment she is singing in, never over dramatic, but keeping the energy of the melody moving forward\u2026grace and elegance\u2026a wonderful offering\u2026a delightful musical journey!"
2013 CD REVIEW JAZZCAMERA UK -"Suzi Stern has created something really special with 11 of her own songs on this new CD. Stern...exceptional strength and eloquence...More please, Suzi!!"
ART VOICE BUFFALO EVENING NEWS "Stern is a gifted artist who simultaneously defines and reinterprets what jazz is today"
Brad Buchholtz AUSTIN AMERICAN STATESMAN -"Stern\'s \'Lament\' stands as one of the finest albums of the decade - a masterpiece of understatement that honors the highest aspirations of jazz."
WILLAMETTE WEEK -"Stern\'s ease with a challenging melody is matched by her improvisational prowess..."
Sax great JOE HENDERSON-"Suzi, you\'ve done a superb job. You made it sound and seem so easy, giving that melody (Black Narcissus) a voice. Write on!"
ACOUSTIC MUSIC EXCHANGE review by Mark S. Tucker-\u201cBesides the pure beauty of the singing, I was rather astonished to discover that almost everything here was written and arranged by Ms. Stern resulting in a disc that has few comparatives...airs not normally found in rock, jazz, or related modes. Stern embraces the timbre of midnight, the lonely tolling of far away bells above an aching heart, the sigh of fog as it drifts over fallow meadows, an amber moon glowing starkly in arid ebon skies. Haunted Heart enfolds the sort of atmosphere the word \'bittersweet\' was invented for\u2026.a showcase for not just Ms. Stern\'s entrancing vocals and depth-encrusted compositions but her very soul as well.\u201d
Review by Rotcod Zzaj for Improvijazzation Nation
Suzi Stern \u2013 ROMANCING THE DARK: There are plenty of \u201cjust jazz singers\u201d in today\'s market, but I can tell you that Suzi\u2019s definitely not \u201cjust\u201d anything\u2026 listen to the opening track, \u201cFirefly\u201c, and you\u2019ll hear a singer who has \u201cbeen there\u201d already\u2026 and she paints sonic beauty that makes you want to go right along with her, no matter the cost! While this outing (she\u2019s released 7 CD\u2019s previously) isn\u2019t exactly jazz, the tunes are all originals \u2013 which in itself lends an air of excitement; at least for this listener. The percussion intro on \u201cSounds Are Louder In The Dark\u201d was the perfect way to get you to notice what she means in the title \u2013 a truly excellent tune! It was the almost-theatrical \u201cTango For Tina\u201d that got my vote for favorite of the 11 on this fine CD. I give Suzi (& crew) a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, with an \u201cEQ\u201d (energy quotient) rating of 4.98.
5 Stars out of 5 emusic review \u201c Stern has created a lasting deep and evocative offering, filled with smart lyrics that are poetic and never trite\u2026a wonderful composer/vocalist.\u201d
All.About.Jazz review:
ROMANCING THE DARK: SUZI STERN
By
GEANNINE REID,
Published: March 11, 2014
When a jazz singer is able to combine skills as a poet, composer, arranger and singer, what type of music is the result? Folk/Jazz/World; but of course! That is the underlying theme throughout Suzi Stern\'s CD, Romancing the Dark. The Austin based singer has a diverse history of collaborations, working with artist such as: Joe Henderson, Denny Zeitlin,David Friesen, Jerry Hahn, Leroy Vinnegar,Jessica Williams,Sheila Jordan, Jay Clayton, Peggy Stern, Stefan Karlsson, Alan Jones, Randy Porter, John Stowell, and beyond. Stern also boasts a library of seven CDs as a leader and is a published poet and lyricist. Stern has penned lyrics to numerous contemporary and classic jazz compositions such as Denny Zeitlin\'s "Quiet Now," Joe Henderson\'s "Black Narcissus" and Joshua Redman\'s "Hide and Seek," which have been recorded by artists worldwide. Stern\'s lyrics have been published in the Bill Evans Fake Book from Hal Leonard Publications.
Romancing the Dark contains eleven selections, nine of which are Stern originals, one penned by bassist Paul Unger, "Sleepwalking Girl" and one standard, "Haunted Heart." Stern composed, orchestrated and wrote the lyrics for nine of the selections and has compiled a varying set of instruments for the project. Each selection has its own unique instrumentation and orchestration, which provides the perfect emotional setting for Stern\'s clear voice to articulate her storylines. "Romancing The Dark" starts with George Oldziey\'s fluid accordion lines that flow into an accented off beat chordal march pattern that clarinetist John Mills blows a haunting melody over. The two are joined by the marching snare work of Steve Schwelling\'s drums to complete the intro for Sterns vocal entrance. "Beautiful" is the first word of Stern\'s lyrics and that sums up the mood and overall presentation of the composition. Stern\'s singing style is clear and accurate; her lyrics are poetic in nature and give just enough information for the listener to follow the storyline while still leaving room for the imagination to fill in the details. Oldziey also plays piano on the track and Mike Sailors adds trumpet, while Randy Zimmerman\'s trombone provides a nice brass pad behind the vocals and the fills from Mills. Stern composes and orchestrates a masterful interlude with the three horn players playing counterpoint to one another leading us to the last chorus and verse which continues the three horn writing behind Stern\'s vocals. After a poetic pause on "Self-Indulgence Your Game," Stern joins the three horns with a series of vocal scats that culminate in the ending statement.
As before mentioned, the varying instrumentation and Stern\'s ability to clearly articulate a melody over creative orchestrations is the key element to the success of Romancing the Dark. "Sounds Are Louder In The Dark" finds Stern\'s voice paired with a string quartet and percussion. On this track Stern collaborates with Oldziey, who provides a stunning string arrangement for Stern to sing with. The ballad "Hymn" is colored with piano, bass, percussion, guitar, violin and a children\'s choir. The entire first half of the song is a rubato phrasing of voice, violin, arco bass and piano. The Children\'s voices and percussion are added later to build the selection to a logical climax and ending. "Deeper Quiet" is another ballad that features more wonderful music and lyrics by Stern and spot on string orchestration from Oldziey. Sailor\'s muted trumpet opens the selection over a lush string quartet chordal pad with Oldziey\'s piano chords and single note fills rounding out the space, these intimate moments really expose Stern\'s voice and allow the listener to hear the control and richness of her singing. "Moth" finds Stern\'s voice impeccably singing each phrase of the melody with a new orchestrative color, sometimes she harmonizes with herself, other times she sings in perfect unison with the piano or in counterpoint to the guitar. Guitarist Bruce Saunders provides a very nice nylon strung guitar solo, followed by more counterpoint with the melody and violin. Stern\'s elegant singing, music and lyrics are presented in an array of colors and instrumental settings that result in a unique and poignant listen. What type of music as a poet, composer, arranger and singer make? Folk/Jazz/World; or more specifically, creative music! That is the underlying theme throughout Suzi Stern\'s beautiful CD, Romancing the Dark.

Apache Hive has become a great way for people to start using Hadoop, as it it features a SQL like query language. But Hive is not a regular database, and Hive\u2019s query language is not SQL. In this talk, I will give you a tour of Hive, and try to focus in on the areas where Hive is different, and where you might get a few surprises when you start using Hive in practice. The talk will include some live demos, and some of the topics that will be touched upon include Tez vs. MR, the ORC format, window functions and transforms.

GENERAL INFORMATION:
Please note that these games are friendly games and everybody has to be\xa0fair play. In case of unappropriate behaviour (hard tackling,\xa0direct swearing, etc) you will be warned and eventually asked to leave the pitch. We play for fun so let's have fun together!
Please take:
\u2022\xa01 white AND 1 black\xa0t-shirt, so that we can change teams if needed.
\u2022\xa0football shoes or normal sport shoes, but football shoes are recommended as we play on artificial grass (outdoor) and it can be slippery.
\u2022\xa0water, as there is no access to water there.
\u2022\xa0a ball if you have one, so that we can play with the best one
\u2022\xa0shin pads are recommended: even if we don't play the world cup, it's always better to have good protections!
\u2022 Location for Monday games will be posted on Sundays and location for Friday games posted on Wednesday

Nathan Marz, the creator of Storm at Twitter quoted the above years before. In a nutshell, this is the essence of Lambda Architecture.
Lambda architectures present distinctive traits that make them particularly suitable for real-world, large-scale data products. They provide a viable answer to the need of gathering insights that are function of the entire data set. At the same time, lambda architectures are built with the capability to support data processes at different data and temporal granularity. Enterprise data pipelines, most of the time, comprise heterogeneous processing modalities: computing can be batch (e.g. Hadoop) vs. (near) real-time vs. streaming (e.g. Storm), data storage can he file-oriented (e.g. HDFS) vs. columnar (e.g. HBase). Additionally, given the distributed nature of lambda architectures, they are designed to be scalable and fault-tolerant.
Once again, hear from my experience, another feather to your big data crown.
See you all, and as usual register early.

Abstract
Those of you whom have visited a physician in the recent past know from experience that you are more than a check-box or a survey. \xa0In order to personalize care, physicians utilize free-text notes about specific patient conditions. \xa0However capturing these notes as a rich source of information for patient care and satisfaction can be difficult. \xa0Electronic Health Records were first started in the 1990s and now are used to pool patient information and resources on health-care specific cloud and hybrid data platforms. \xa0This data tends to be high dimensional and high volume. \xa0Thus Apache Software Foundation has incubated several open-source resource tools for Natural Language Processing of Clinical Notes.
This talk will describe the use of Clinical Text Analysis and Knowledge Extraction System (cTAKES) and Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA) to mine free-text clinical notes. \xa0We will give an over-view of recent and past uses of the system as well as some suggestions for novel uses. \xa0Most importantly, there is a shift in heathcare to more individualized medicine. A number of companies are providing natural language processing capabilities on their healthcare platforms to enable information mined from unstructured textual (i.e. doctor's clinical notes), to be combined with structured clinical data.

Introduction to Apache Drill -\xa0Self-Service Data Exploration and Nested Data Analytics on Hadoop\xa0
SQL is one of the most widely used languages to access, enterprise data architectures across industries, the need for SQL for both structured and loosely-structured data on Hadoop is growing rapidly. Apache Drill started off with the audacious goal of delivering consistent, millisecond ANSI SQL query capability across wide range of data formats. At a high level, this translates to two key requirements \u2013 Schema Flexibility and Performance.
Apache Drill provides the users the ability to interact with big data on Hadoop much faster and far more easily using the familiar SQL language. Users are no longer dependent on central IT teams and DBAs to produce schemas and then maintain them when the structure changes for a few records. Drill alleviates the pain associated with structuring unstructured data before one gains any insights by providing a simple mechanism to query any dataset on Hadoop - be it flat files, parquet or JSON files or tables within an HBase table. This session will give you an overview of several different use cases that enterprises are testing Drill for as well as the latest news on the project.

A weekend of riding, campfires, debauchery, and the most important RUM!!!
Devils Highway Run\xb3
Each year we ride the "Devils highway" on Labor Day weekend and try to make the ride a bit different each time, the only thing that is constant is us riding the "Devils Highway"
This year our plans are to run the highway twice. Sunday we will head up it to Alpine for some grub those who wish to head home may do so at this point. For the rest after eating and maybe some exploring we head right back down to camp for another night of merriment.
We are also heading a bit south to catch the 191 where it meets the I10, well, just because\u2026
The brief rundown of the trip:
Sat Sept. 5th KSU 8:00am
Start at Chevron Apache Junction 75 East 29th Avenue Apache Junction, AZ 85219 (Idaho and the 60) KSU at 8:00 am. There is a Waffle House there if you want to grab some grub. Make sure you get there early enough to eat.
Fuel stop at Circle K 333 West Grant Road, Tucson, AZ 85705 (Approx 100 miles)
Fuel Stop at TravelCenters of America 1501 Fort Grant Road, Willcox, AZ 85643 Approx 90miles)
Then a stop in Morenci for Fuel and shoping. There is a Bashas\u2019 in town where we can/will pick up food and other items for the camp ground
Bashas\' 172 Plaza Morenci, AZ 85540 (approx. 90 miles)
Lunch we can discuss beforehand, it will be about 6-7 hours ride time including gas stops.
Then just another 17 or so miles to the campground.
For those of you who prefer camping with 4 \u201csolid\u201d walls and a roof there is the Rode Inn in Clifton http://rodeinnclifton.com/ . The last time we had someone stay there they were pretty booked up so plan accordingly.

We welcome suggestions and ideas
Just some \u201cuseless\u201d trivia
\u2022 U.S. Rt. 666 was first commissioned in 1926 with a northern terminus of Cortez, CO.
\u2022 The Signage arrived to Arizona in 1938, stretching to Douglas, 30 miles of it overlapped U.S. Route 66.
\u2022 1985 marked the end of U.S. Route 66 designation, leaving U.S 666 an orphan.
\u2022 Dislike of the reference to the antichrist, street signs were stolen at a faster pace than they could be replaced, rerouting and complaints from superstitious drivers were a few of the reasons that lead to the gradual cessation of Route 666.
\u2022 Arizona changed the numbering to U.S. 191 in 1993.
\u2022 On May 31, 2013, U.S. Route 666 officially became extinct, leaving legends, scenic miles and the nickname \u201cThe Devil\u2019s Highway\u201d for posterity.
We will discuss on new emerging big data technologies/frameworks:
1. Tachyon :\xa0A memory-centric distributed storage system
2. BlinkDB :\xa0Queries with Bounded Errors and Bounded Response Times on Very Large Data e.g. query on 10TB in 2sec using sampling
3. Presto :\xa0Distributed SQL Query Engine for\xa0Big\xa0Data
4. Parquet: Efficient columnar storage (to Hadoop/Spark)
5.\xa0Apache Flink :\xa0scalable batch and stream data processing (If time permits)

2000:2045 : lecture "Apache Spark" by Roy Levin
Descripton :
Apache Spark is a popular Open Source Big Data processing framework.\xa0Among the main reasons for its popularity are it relative ease of use and its high performance (orders of 100x) when compared to Hadoop MapReduce based alternarives.In this talk I will provide an overview of Spark and focus specifically on what makes it so fast and easier to use. \xa0
This meeting is sponserd by IBM and includes pizza and beer.

* The event is strictly for SWIMMERS ONLY
* First timers are welcome but at their own risk - look out for beginner lesson events if you aren\'t confident you can keep up with the group.
* The rental fee is 200SEK for 2-3 hours kayak + all necessary equipment rental.
* To reserve a kayak with the group, you must pay 24 hours in advance & there are no refunds. The Swish code to pay is:[masked].
*If you want to come along on the off chance, you are welcome but there is no guarantee there will be a kayak available for you. If you pay far in advance and have to drop out with more than 24 hours\' notice I should be able to move you to a later event, but I make the kayak reservation on Wednesday evening and after that it\'s final.
*there are no lockers available at Kafe Kayak. You can bring your things with you in the kayak or else leave them in the hut with the staff.
* there is no particular clothing necessary, wear roughly what you might wear to go running.
See you on the water!

Open figure drawing and photography session. Meet-up Details: Mondays from 7:30PM to 11PM Apache Cafe provides figure models for artist and photographers to casually drop in and create without a need to pre-register or commit to a multiple week drawing class. Please remember to bring your own supplies! Flow of the night: At Apache Cafe a typical figure/life drawing session (class) the attendees sit around a model either in a semicircle or a full circle. No two students have exactly the same view, thus their drawing or photography will reflect the perspective of the artist\'s unique location relative to the model. The model often poses on a stand, so attendees can more easily find an unobstructed view, depending on the type of pose, furniture and/or props used. At the beginning of the figure drawing session, the model is often requested to make a series of brief poses in rapid succession. These are called gestures poses, and are typically one to three minutes each. Gesture drawing is a warm-up exercise for many artists, although some artists sketch out the gesture as the first step in every figure drawing. Since the purpose of figure drawing classes is to learn how to draw humans of all kinds, male and female models of all ages, shapes, and ethnicities are usually sought, rather than selecting only beautiful models or those with "ideal figures". The variety of models hired may be limited by the need for them to hold a pose for extended periods. Scheduled models are posted on our Calendar events page.
