Changing course to accommodate non-prerequisites. Crash course in C programming. I want you to introduce yourself and give your expectations.
1. IS, just want to learn more about computer graphics because she wants to integrate it with communication – web design, eventually.
2. Jules Ang. MECO. Organization, and we have this CD yearbook project and he wants to make sophisticated graphics.
3. 4th MIS. Programming. I don't really knoiw much about CG, which is why I'm here.
4. loadreving out. wala na kasing maenrolan.
5. Castillo. 4 IS. Just want to know more about graphics.
6. Chan. 4 CS. basically, what was written in the course description.
7. Cheng. 4 CS. Illusions of Halflife.
8. Jose Dominic …. . Absent.
9. Quirinio Noel dela Torre. BS CS. Expect not so much programming in this class.
10. Marian Erika Duque. Absent.

TJ. lots of programming.
Lots of nods when Anino was mentioned.
Try to speak in shorter sentences; you use and and but a lot. ;)
Jargon alert. =) You, ummm, need to specify that a little bit better.
Suggestion for next time: Start with a very graphical demo – something
that will make them go, "Way cool!" Then reassure them that yes, at
the end of this semester, they *will* be able to do that.
Your students don't know the jargon, so you might want to make very
visual examples. A friendly approach is possible.
(sorry about that… very nervous on my first day and I should have started with the introduction slides already, but I felt I wasn't ready yet.)

Where to Eat Fried Catfish in Memphis: 6 Spots to Try
Fried catfish is a classic Southern dish that, like so many peasant foods around the world, demonstrates how a delicacy can emerge from poverty. The catfish is a bottom feeder, a "trash" fish caught with trot lines and cane poles and stink bait—not with expensive boats or flashy lures. You don't scale it, you skin it. And when it's time to cook, you don't dust it with the refined flour of the upper classes but dredge it in the working man's cornmeal, fry it, and let it drain on brown paper bags.
It's something simple enough to make on a camping trip, or you can heat up a big 55-gallon drum of peanut oil and have a massive fish fry for friends and family. The Memphis/Mid-South area has seen a few modifications over the years, like the craze for Cajun blackened catfish in the late 80s and healthier grilled options in the past couple of decades. Our local Asian markets now carry live catfish in tanks for those who don't have the time to spend all day by a dark lake or slow moving creek. You'll also see it served in smaller nuggets, thick steaks, or even fancy nouvelle productions incorporating gastrique and microgreens. At the end of the day I always go back to the simple fried catfish.
Ideally you want local Mississippi farm-raised catfish, yet due to the price, most restaurants choose less expensive imports from China and Vietnam. (There was a recent attempt to rebrand premium domestic catfish as "Delacata", although I haven't personally heard that term around here.) People often complain about a muddy or dirty flavor, but the farm-raised cats are not as earthy as the wild ones, and a quick bath in buttermilk will remove any lingering aromas. Look for fish that is fried fresh to order, served hot with good seasoning in the crust (black pepper, a little chile powder, and crunchy cornmeal). An amber crust is better than a pale yellow one. I usually dress mine with a little tartar sauce and a good dash of hot sauce. And as good as the fish is on its own, the real test comes with the side dishes.
Here are my six favorite places to get fried catfish in the Memphis area; chime in with your favorites in the comments!

I have recently shifted to QGIS from ArcGIS and am looking for some help/pointers with the following:
Does QGIS have a method by which I can specify a lat-lon coordinate (or a utm x,y coordinates, coordinate system not imp), and get all features that lie within a certain radius of this point?
I downloaded the 3rd party plugins for QGIS and after looking through all of them, didn't find anything with this functionality (though I could have very well not understood something completely). I am considering writing a plugin in case something doesn't already exist
Edit: I looked at the option under: View -> Select -> Select Features By Radius. This seems to be similar in concept to what I am aiming to do (except that the center needs to be specified).

VANCOUVER - Beekeepers in B.C. have just brought in more than 3,000 packages of bees from New Zealand to bolster local colonies needed to pollinate Fraser Valley blueberries.
In what has become an annual event, boxes and tubes each carrying three pounds of bees and equipped with a laying queen began arriving last month at Vancouver International Airport to replace colonies lost over the winter to disease and cold weather. And the import industry is growing because B.C. has neither enough native bee populations nor domestic hives to supply the province's agriculture sector.
This spring, more than 20,000 packages of bees and more than 100,000 mated queens will be imported to Canada in an effort to shore up the pollination business, a key building block for at least 20 commercial crops, including canola, blueberries, cranberries, raspberries and tree fruits such as apples, peaches, apricots and pears. Although honey is an important product — in 2010, Canada produced 78 million pounds worth $145 million — it is pollination that drives the honey bee industry.
In B.C. alone, crops pollinated by bees were worth more than $163 million in 2004, the last year for which the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture had statistics. The blueberry crop accounted for $65.5 million of that.
Canada is the second-largest producer of blueberries in the world behind the United States, and collectively the two countries meet more than 75 per cent of the world's demand. B.C. is at the forefront of that, with 12 varieties that bloom between April 15 and May 31.
But with beekeepers over the last five years losing an average of 30 per cent of their hives every winter to disease and cold, they can't keep up with the demand without help from imports, according to John Gibeau, the owner of the Honeybee Centre in Surrey.
"There are just not enough bees in B.C. to handle all the pollination demands of farmers," said Gibeau, who provides 4,200 colonies throughout the season to pollinate 11 different crops. "So the industry has turned to importing bees from New Zealand and a few other places to fill that gap."
Gibeau brought in 637 packages this year.
Alberta commercial beekeepers, who winter some of their colonies in the Fraser Valley's comparatively mild climate,, provide about half the bees needed for B.C. blueberries. The rest must come from local beekeepers, but between the two, there are not enough hives to cover all crops.
Bob Fisher, a bee-keeper and blueberry grower who owns West Coast Bee Supply, just installed 50 imported packages in hives to help boost his business. Although he successfully wintered 19 other hives, it wasn't enough to pollinate the 10 hectares of blueberries he owns or rents. He also sells packages of bees for $150 each.
Without those bees, his fruit would not set and his blueberry business would fail.
"Some beekeepers I know have lost colonies over the winter and can't meet their pollination contract requirements without starting with more packages."
New Zealand has emerged as the main source of bees for Canada because that southern hemispheric country's bees are relatively disease-free and are at the end of their season.
More than two decades ago, Canada shut the border to imports from the U.S. when a serious pest from Asia, the Varroa mite, began infecting North American colonies. Although the mite has now spread around the world, the border remains closed to U.S. imports because of the emergence of Africanized honey bees and another pest, the hive beetle.
More than 80 per cent of the queens imported come from the Big Island of Hawaii, but whole packages — containing bees and queen — are only permitted from New Zealand, parts of Australia and Chile.
That's because the world's domesticated honey bees are under attack from a variety of diseases and other stresses that have led to a serious decline in bee populations. As a result, there are fewer places for Canadian beekeepers to turn to in their quest for replacement bees.
Jaquie Bunse, the provincial government apiculture inspector for the Fraser Valley, says B.C. bee breeders working with the University of B.C. are trying to develop a strain of bee that can winter well and resist the panoply of diseases now affecting domestic bees. But she said imports are necessary now to meet the demand for commercial pollination.
"Bees have to be replaced every year.There are so many stresses on bees now that we have had some high losses and we can't sustain that without importation if pollination is to be successful," she said.
Mark Winston, a Simon Fraser University researcher and one of the foremost authorities on bees in North America, blames monocrops, big agri-business practices and the loss of habitat for native bees for what he terms the unhealthy need for bee imports.
Winston, who closed his world-renowned bee lab at SFU five years ago, said he no longer believes importing bees is the solution.
"This is a reflection of a very large-scale and general problem in agriculture in North America," he said. "Because of the lack of diverse eco-systems we don't have sufficient wild bees to pollinate and we must push honey bees to their limit. The outcome of that has been the near-destruction of the beekeeping industry."
The spread of uniform crops, increased use of pesticides whose residues get into beehives and the spread of serious pests and bacterial or viral diseases have all made it tough for bees.
"Honey bee management today is in pretty sorry shape and there are multiple, multiple factors that are affecting it," he said. "If we were managing bees the way we should be, we wouldn't need to be importing them from anywhere."

Bronx Eats: Vietnamese Roast Pork and More at Saigon Market in University Heights
Whether we're talking about banh mi, bun, or pho, finding good Vietnamese food in New York is no easy task. Few restaurants rise above the rank of the middling neighborhood spot, offering unspectacular meats and shallow broths, and the story's no different in the Bronx.
While the borough was briefly home to the city's most celebrated Vietnamese restaurant, the shuttered World of Taste, there is now only the lackluster Com Tam Ninh Kieu. Over four years of sporadic meals I haven't found a single dish worth returning for, just the disappointment of shallow broths and sense of lost promise. (The borough, we have noted, is home to a substantial Vietnamese population.) Still, Bronxites have reason to hope yet--but first we'll have to go to the bodega.
At first glance Saigon Market appears to be like any other Southeast Asian market. The fridges are full of fish, the coffee is served with condensed milk, and the shelves are stocked with instant pho base, packages of vermicelli, and fish sauce. You'll find plenty of specialty herbs too, and rarer ingredients like banana blossom. But what we're here for is their home cooking, done in a makeshift kitchen hidden away in the back of the store.
Bucking the bodega trend of weekend specials, the owners of Saigon cook food every day of the week. Dishes are displayed at the front counter, but if there's nothing up there don't hesitate to ask. The ambitions of the cooks are not outsized, and the quality reflects their means: you'll find fresh and punchy giap ca and balanced nuoc cham paired with pre-cooked noodles.
Their intentions are to provide their local community with some decent grub, and what we get are salads of shredded papaya with shrimp, roast pork, and pig ear; mám chung (salted fish made with pork, egg, onion, sugar, garlic, chili, and soy bean oil); and the occasional soup. Oh, and one of the borough's finest preparations of roast pork belly.
Sold by the pound ($10) and cooked with minimal spices, Saigon's roast pork is sweet with crispy skin and juicy fat. It's subtle, so eat it solo, dipped in hot sauce, or mixed in with some steaming white rice. It's roast pork worth seeking out, all the more because of the cloyingly sweet pork so many of New York's Vietnamese restaurants serve.
Nothing else they cook is up to par with the pork, but many of the dishes ($6-7) are worth picking up. The aforementioned papaya salad is particularly good, the juicy papaya mingling delightfully with the sharp heat of the scattered birds' eye chili slices. Some days you'll find fried rice—standard and safe but worth appreciating in a borough flush with shockingly greasy Chinese take out—or a plate of nuoc cham, herbs including yep ca and Thai basil, and banh khot, mini-pancakes cooked with coconut milk and topped with ground meat (photograph at top).
My favorite dish so far, however, has been mám chung, pitched by the owner as a condiment to be eaten with bread, tomatoes, or cucumber. The flavor is decidedly but not overwhelmingly fishy, balanced and cut with necessary sweetness and the meatiness of the pork. It's definitely salty, though, and will leave you parched if you overindulge, but it has an addictively complex flavor I'd be happy to build a sandwich around.
For those who dig in Southeast Asian sweets, there are some desserts to satisfy your cravings. Options include strips of fried yucca coated with shredded coconut and black rice with chunks of yucca and coconut milk. The latter I found to be bland, too light on sweetness to justify.
Saigon Market won't change your mind about Vietnamese cuisine, but it's a solid option in a borough bereft of East and Southeast Asian cooking. Different dishes appear to come out of the kitchen every day, and every Saturday that I have visited has introduced me to new offerings. We're unlikely to find more complex dishes, though a paper menu posted near the cashier does list (in Vietnamese) the variety of meals that they prepare. While the options might be limited, Bronxites are well advised to skip Com Tam in favor of Saigon. There may be no seating or pho, but roast pork is well worth the longer walk from the 4 train.

In coordination with U.S. Marine Corps Forces Europe and U.S. Marine Corps Forces Africa, the community of U.S. European Command, U.S. Africa Command, and USAG Stuttgart had "hands-on" experience with the MV-22B Osprey during a capabilities exercise on Patch Barracks, Kelley Barracks, and Stuttgart Army Airfield, March 28. The MV-22B Ospreys are visiting from the Marine Tiltrotor Squadron 266 (Reinforced), 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, II Marine Expeditionary Force, based out of Camp Lejeune, N.C.
Part of the event was to introduce the MV-22B Osprey, which is a recent addition to the Marine Corps' aviation inventory, to the EUCOM and AFRICOM combatant commands.
"I think it's the future of how we're going to provide medium-lift assault support in many ways," said Lt. Col. Chris J. Boniface, the commanding officer of VMM-266, 26th MEU, II MEF.
For the exercise, three MV-22B Ospreys flew from an amphibious assault ship on the Atlantic Ocean, past Rota, Spain, to Stuttgart, Germany, two days ago without having to land; a total of 1,400 nautical miles.
"It's very important that we demonstrate this capability that the Marine Corps brings to the commands in the assault-support realm," said Boniface, the Enterprise, Ala., native.
The MV-22B Osprey is a multi-engine, dual-piloted, self-deployable, medium-lift, vertical-takeoff and landing, tilt-rotor aircraft designed for combat support and special-operations missions. It combines the functionality of a helicopter with the performance of a turbo-prop aircraft.
"It's the only airplane that can do everything a helicopter can," said Capt. Erik B. Kolle, an MV-22B pilot, VMM-266, 26th MEU, II MEF. "It has proven in the last several years that it is a good choice," added the Raleigh, N.C., native.
The MV-22B represents new capabilities in the region and can provide Marine Forces Europe and Marine Forces Africa a unique asset supporting their mission to respond to crisis, build partner-nation military capacity, promote regional security, and maintain a stabilization presence as directed by EUCOM and AFRICOM to protect U.S. national security interests.
"It takes the Mediterranean Sea, for example, and turns it into a lake," said Kolle, regarding the rapid travelling capability of the MV-22B.
"Before, if a MEU wanted to reach an area, they would have to bring the ships closer to that region and deploy helicopters. Now, with the MV-22B, you can have a MEU floating in Spain and have troops on the other end of the Mediterranean the same day," said Kolle.
"If AFRICOM and EUCOM are going to have MV-22Bs in their areas of responsibility, it's important to know how to employ these assets in the event that something happens," added Kolle.
Within the EUCOM and AFRICOM areas of responsibility, most bi-lateral and multi-lateral exercises with allied and partner nations could be supported with combat-proven air support provided by the MV-22B that other aircrafts, like the C-130 Hercules cargo plane, which requires a run-way for takeoff and landing, would prove less effective.
"I think the capabilities to fly as fast, and as far, as we can is significant in this area," said Cpl. Justin J. Whiteman, an MV-22B crew chief, VMM 266, 26th MEU, II MEF.
To demonstrate the versatile landing capability of the MV-22B, two aircraft flew from Stuttgart Army Airfield, landing one on Kelley Field, Kelley Barracks, and the other landing on Husky Field, Patch Barracks.
"We can do 280 knots and put troops into a variety of landing terrains and conditions; unpaved areas, mountain sides, dusty zones. Airplanes and helicopters just can't do that," said Whiteman, the Lancaster, Penn., native.
"I think it's critical for quick-response teams to be able to get to places that are great distances apart and the MV-22B is just that; 'quick response,'" said Whiteman.
The aircraft, which reached its initial operation capability in 2007, has proven its operational efficacy with its ability to fly twice as fast, carry three times the payload, go twice as high, and travel almost five times the distance of other legacy medium-lift helicopters.
"The Osprey provides an awesome capability," said Boniface. "It can aerial refuel, climb up to 25,000 feet; it does anything the commander needs it too, from embassy reinforcement to tactical recovery of personnel missions and raids."
The MV-22B replaces the Marine Corps' CH-46 "Sea Knight" helicopter's role in functioning as the Marine Corps' amphibious assault transport of troops, equipment and supplies, between sea and land.
"The CH-46 was a great aircraft, but that was 1960's technology; this is the new millennium's technology and it's being upgraded along the way as we learn new lessons from other [Overseas Contingency Operations]," said Lt. Col. Rick Coates, a future operations officer, Marine Forces Europe.
Beyond the 1,400-mile flight, to show the long-range raid ability of the Osprey, the capabilities exercise included flights around the city, a tour of the aircraft, and contact with a knowledgeable and experienced crew to answer questions.
"The combatant commanders here are getting to see how, if they owned an amphibious readiness group, they will own a force that can go out and influence their area of responsibility," said Coates.
"We are used to operating in big countries, like Iraq and Afghanistan, but they are still countries. Europe and Africa are continents!" said Coates.
"When you have this aircraft, with all the capabilities that it brings, you shrink the battle space and the distance won't work against you," said Coates. "It's getting the job done in every clime and place; you can really reach out and touch anybody."
The event also gave the USAG Stuttgart community a chance to see an aircraft that doesn't typically operate within the Stuttgart airspace.
"This is a great opportunity and the hard work that everyone put into planning this has really paid off," said Coates. "The tax payers are also getting to see the aircraft. The air-base communities in America are used to seeing Ospreys, but other places never get to see them, so it's important to reach out to the American people here in Germany to show them what their military is doing."

Today MOTOROLA semiconductor group is sold to Freescale. The so called "company evolution" .... Happened at the end of 2004. When Motorola was running the semiconductors desk, i was provided this IDP board as "68k learner". Since 1999 i have been developping around the board in my free time. She eats 2.5A, so at 5V that means 13Watt .... this because she has a lot of fun and troubles
About the motorola board the motorola board is "IDP68EC0x0" part number She eats 2.5A at 5V. On the board there are the following devices:
- MC68EC000 CPU module 12.5Mhz MC68060 CPU module 25Mhz
- MC68681 (dual uart)
- MC68230 (PIT port and timer)
- DS7 (display 7 segment)
- 2/8MByte DRAM
i'm working around this devices
- HD44780 (display 2x20 alphanumeric)
- T6969 (display graphics)
- I2C bus adapter PSX pad adapter
- IDE-HD adapter new desin keyboard (developped around apple-newton-kb and dreamcast-jappanese-kb)
on the board i'm running
- ucos/2 (it does not require a MMU, the 68EC000 has not, the 68060 has MMU and FPU)
- netbsd unfortunatly 2MB of RAM and 1MB of ROM will be too small for NetBSD.
the board was made in 1992, and in 2002 costs $950, with a student reduce price i payed half the half: $250 ($90 surface shipping included) .
Unfortunately it is equipped with 2Mbyte of DRAM that can be expanded to 8Mbyte with this obsolete DRAM-array 1Mx32 (4Mbytes) for a total of 8Mbyte on board - MCM54400AZ70 - MCM524256AZ70 package 100 MIL ZIP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONLY ZIP PACKAGE !!!!!!!!!!! as electronic eng. i'm planning to plug a CPLD to the bus to interface an harddisk, a pair of nvram and a graphic display (i hope in the future ISA bus to plug an ISA-ethernet board) the main goal is to run a UNIX OS to provide the board with the multitasking capability. In the future i will plug one/two DSP and i will use the baord to process RADIO GPS signal (NO GPS JAMMING). The goal is to get started with hardware and firmware ! if you wander why not FPGA i can answare that FPGA is to expensive about computer-development tools power and today is provided as COTZ solution by XILINX. So there is nothing to learn about the hardware, just to pay, to unpack, to read the doc, to buy a pair of XEON pc to run XILINX software, and to enjoy ! Dear Mr. Mayer: The ballpark price for the custom package converter that would convert Motorola MCM54400 in 26 SOJ package to Motorola MCM54400 in 20 pin ZIP package is $43.00 each @ qty 1-10. The ballpark NRE is $4,345.00 for the lead time of 20 business days. The part will be similar in design to PC-SOJ/ZIP24-01. Let me know if you have any questions or would like to receive a formal quote.

our motorola 68xxx dev board has a synch.bus.It can be handled only by a Finite State Machine (FSM) so we first look for a low cost CPLD/FPGA solution. too expensive, too much complicate. So now the project is based on a RAM-tiny-FSM: 4 input, 4 output, 16 states. The RAM is loaded with the bytestream at the boottime by a PIC that copy an I2C_EEPROM into the RAM. The project consists on the compiler (that make the bytestream image to be loaded to the eeprom, from a simil-C source) and the little board. I estimated that this TINY-FSM is able to work with a clock up to 25Mhz using old PC cache (15 ns) If you are interested we can collaborate about this project, about the hardware and about the software developping. Hello Adrian, It is nice to hear from you. I am glad that the 680x0 books I sent you are useful in your project. > i'm planning to develop a ROM/RAM tiny file-system What type of file system is this? Is it based on an existing file system such as MS-DOS, or something completely new? I have an interest in file systems, that is why I ask. FYI, the UCSD Pascal system has a very simple file system that support a fixed number of files (77). The file system is just a very simple array of file entries.

Motorola is a very big company and the semiconductor division was just a small part. In fact, in the beginning it was set up to supply parts to the rest of the company. But it turned out that they sold most of their parts to other companies, and they made Motorola a lot of money for many years. But in the last several years the semiconductor division has been loosing money, so motorola decided to spin it off as a separate company. Now the must make money or go out of business! -mark- wrote: > hi, > do you remember me ? > i'm the boy you sold the "68060 die photos" > today i was shocked: "motorola semiconductors" has > been changed into "Freescale" > and all customers support of old "motorola digital > DNA" has automatically closed. what do you think is happening ? > is motorola in a big money jam ? > i contact the old "motorola digital DNA" to have informations about > "mc68150 dynamic bus sizer chip" freescale answared me ..... > (that it has no data-sheet) > what do you think ? > best regards I need precisely the functionality you are describing to test programs written for the ColdFire 5407 without the actual hardware. The code would only be used to create a tool for my use in testing and debugging my embedded code. My current project is an embedded system for testing proprietary electronic devices. Having an emulator would be invaluable during development and testing. If you could share your code with me I would certainly be willing to forward any support I add for the ColdFire back to you, if you like. If you can't share the actual code, I understand--I just had to ask--this sounds like it would be so helpful.

Yes, not the whole iset, i have to code it, i have no much time. However the demo i show to my teacher is able to run a "hello world" program that prints to a real HD44780 by re-defining trap 15 to a virtual device (that on the real board is a MC68230) that handles LPT where the display is attached. I planned to emulate 68000, 68020, 68030, 68040, 68060. I don't know how to handle MMU, now. however i'm working around 68000 and i have to test the ALU condition code register: there are no good tests in motorola books, i don't understand some dettails like MUL-U MUL-S condition code affections. >it sounds as if that is what you have--more than a mere disassembler. this because we code a lot of software, and because we did it aim for a lot of goal. The shell, the tini-filesystem and the "reverse-assembler" i don't like "disassembler" term because i mere de-asm is a program that jumps back your binary. My reverse-assembler emulate a binary into a virtual machine showing register contents step by step. I mean that i can obtain a file where you can easily track the register- values during the running. In this case the goal is the need: we have to code and test programs but we have to test them on a real 68000 board, the school's one, and unfortunatly we can't access to it when we want ... we have no much time and we have no money to buy a personal board. So we code an emulator to have the board in our portable PC. The real board is hard to be de-bugged ... because we can't track the memory or stop the CPU to analyze ... we code the emulator to allow this. >In your first post you asked if anyone was intrerested--if this is the case, >I am very interested--I need something like this to help me through my >>current project! what is your project about ??? how can my project help you ? which CPU should it be for ? >Would you consider sharing that code with me? it may be, i have to ask my teacher and my team. I remember you we are using ANSI crude C (borland Turbo C 3.0 for DOS) however the shell is portable to UNIX and we ported it using Gcc and HP-C89. what we really need now is a good 68K compiler. We hack Sierra C 68K, it works well but it is only for 68000, and it need windows. we will try to make a gcc-68K cross compiler for our HP-712 HPUX 11.00 best regards

Coco-crazy in Eagle County
VAIL CO, Colorado
Contrary to its name, a coconut is not a nut but a drupe, a type of fruit with an outer skin that surrounds the shell. But that hasn't stopped people from being nuts, or crazy about consuming coconuts in the last few years. Coconut water, coconut milk, coconut oil, and other coconut-based products are now ubiquitous and can be found everywhere from the health food co-op to the convenience store. But will the coconut craze last, or will it burn out like other health food trends once something more exotic comes along?
Dr. Deborah Wiancek is a naturopathic physician and owner of the Riverwalk Natural Health Clinic and Pharmacy in Edwards. Wiancek said coconuts carried a bad reputation for number of decades because they contain fat, linking them to heart disease.
"In the '60s and '70s, people were saying that (coconut oil) was bad for the heart,"
Wiancek said. "There was bad publicity on coconut oil, but all that stuff is actually wrong. Research shows that it can prevent heart disease and does not raise cholesterol levels."
Coconuts are a medium-chain fatty acid, which typically absorb in the body quite rapidly and are easily digested. Coconuts also naturally contain electrolytes, which means they're high in potassium, calcium, magnesium, and chromium. Wiancek said the electrolytes found in coconuts could boost one's metabolism, burning fat and increasing muscle mass. Unlike other popular products that contain electrolytes such as Gatorade and Vitamin Water, coconut water is not loaded with sugar and other artificial sweeteners.
"Anytime you put sugar in your drinks you're going to have blood sugar spikes," Wiancek said. "Sugar causes inflammation, it causes heart disease. You don't want to be consuming Gatorade (and drinks like it) during your workout, it's going to set you up for disasters."
Hydration for the highly active
Owner of Healthy Habits in Avon, Thomas Crisofulli said it's hard to keep coconut water in stock due to the high demand. Crisofulli has noticed that in addition to its popularity with the health-conscious, many athletes now drink coconut water as their main way to stay hydrated.
"There is one gentleman that I order 10 cases at a time for," Crisofulli said. "(He) exercises 24/7: hiking, biking and working out. He's noticed the difference big time with the hydration and the energy it gives him."
The professional athletes Wiancek treats in her practice have also seen changes since they've started drinking coconut water.
"They tell me it makes a huge difference in their performance," Wiancek said. "They stay hydrated, it's easy to digest, and they notice that they have better muscle mass."
Switching to a healthier substitute
Coconut-based baking has also become more common in recent years. Eagle-Vail resident Kirsten Bertuglia cooks with coconut oil because it has a higher smoke point than other oils. Smoke point refers to the temperature at which an oil breaks down. Refined coconut oil has a smoke point of 450 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas extra virgin olive oil has a smoke point of 375 degrees. Bertuglia likes coconut's versatility and often uses it as a substitute for butter and other oils.
"(Coconut oil) is a 'good for you' fat," Bertuglia said. "It's easily absorbed in the body and doesn't slow you down."
With so many exposing coconuts' bountiful health benefits, it's a wonder that the coconut wave hasn't hit sooner. Wiancek said coconuts and coconut-based products have always been a staple in Asia, Central America, and South America, but the only place in the U.S. where coconuts grow naturally is Hawaii. Now coconuts are becoming easier to transport, and many are seeking to sip something sweet that won't harm their body.
"People are always looking for healthier drinks," Wiancek said. "Everyone needs to be getting away from soda pop and other sugary drinks. (Coconut water) is a healthy alternative."
If the craze continues, perhaps one day coconut-based products won't be the alternative; they'll be the norm.

Opening Remarks by Angel Gurría, OECD Secretary-General, delivered at the G20 Green Growth Seminar
22 May 2012
(As prepared for delivery)
Distinguished Ministers, Ladies and Gentlemen:
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the OECD for the Green Growth Seminar that we are organising with the Mexican G20 Presidency.
These are challenging times for the global economy. With many countries struggling with growth, stretched public finances and high levels of unemployment, it is not easy to keep environmental protection and conservation of natural resources at the top of policy makers' priorities.
But recessions do not last forever. Recoveries take hold. There is life after debt.
The critical issue is what sort of growth follows from this recession. It can be greener or browner. In times of economic crisis our societies are tempted by recourse to short-termism. But the OECD Environmental Outlook to 2050, released last month provides a glimpse of what a world without policy changes would look like:
The costs and consequences of inaction would be colossal, in economic, environmental and human terms.
The truth is that changing our model of growth and making it greener and more inclusive is the only credible strategy that we have. And it is a practical and concrete approach that can help countries move towards more sustainable development.
Green growth policies can unlock opportunities for economic growth through a number of channels: by contributing to fiscal consolidation, by enhancing productivity through greater efficiency in the use of natural resources, by opening up new markets for green technologies, goods and services. At the same time green growth policies can help ensure that our natural assets continue to provide critical resources and services on which our well-being relies.
I therefore welcome the leadership shown by the Mexican Presidency in making green growth such a signature priority for the G20. Green growth can help put economic recovery on a more sustainable path, which is a shared concern for all G20 countries. It is therefore very much an integral part of the G20 structural reform agenda and we are delighted to have with us today Secretary Meade of Mexico, who has been leading this effort in the G20 Finance Track.
The G20 is a key forum in which advanced and emerging economies can collaborate to stimulate private investment in green infrastructure, coordinate effective labour market policies to facilitate reallocation of workers to greener jobs, and enhance capacity for greening growth and development in the least developed and other developing countries.
These are all areas where the G20 has advanced work under the Mexican Presidency, and the OECD is pleased to have contributed to these streams of work. As we approach the Leaders' Summit, a key issue is how the G20 can carry forward this work. I hope today's seminar will provide valuable recommendations that can be taken forward to Los Cabos.
Just yesterday the OECD presented a joint report with the World Bank and the UN to the G20 Energy and Commodity Markets group on integrating green growth and sustainable development into structural reforms. G20 countries actively contributed to this undertaking through self-reporting on their green growth and sustainable development policies.
In our report, we outline a broad toolkit of green growth policies which countries can draw on in developing their own nationally-specific approaches.
Let me briefly highlight the two broad sets of policies that will be essential elements in most green growth strategies:
At the same time, we need to ensure a smooth and just transition. We need to address any unintended distributional consequences through targeted compensatory measures, especially to low-income households. Taking distributional concerns into account will also help deal with the sometimes daunting political economy challenges of shifting towards greener growth.
Ladies and gentlemen,
These are all issues we will be discussing during the course of the day today with a truly impressive set of speakers.
It is my great pleasure to give the floor to Mr. José Antonio Meade, Secretary of Finance and Public Credit of Mexico.

Himes faces health care discord at town meeting
Rep. Jim Himes, D-4, entered the vortex of the national health care debate Monday night, reaffirming his support for a public insurance coverage option at a tea party-like public forum in his hometown.
The freshman congressman addressed a divided and highly charged group of about 200 people on health-care reform for about 90 minutes during a Town Hall meeting in Greenwich, the first of three similar events planned this week in his district.
"To my way of thinking, we have a terribly, terribly broken system," Himes said. "To reform the insurance industry, I think it's critical that we have a public option."
Himes' opening comments elicited a measured response from the crowd, about half of whom applauded while the rest groaned.
Susan Nisinzweig, a Riverside mother of an autistic child who was severely injured in a car accident, was part of a group of audience members who wore stickers showing their support for a public health care option.
When her insurance carrier learned that her son was autistic, Nisinzweig said, he was dropped from coverage.
"We could not get coverage for years," she said.
For every supporter of the public option in the audience, there was at least one opponent who argued that a government-run program would reduce the quality of care and result in socialism.
"We believe the free market can do it better than you. No more government," Greenwich resident Michael Pope shouted at Himes.
Himes questioned the logic that insurance companies were the answer to controlling the nation's spiraling health care costs, however.
"Private insurance companies do better when they do worse by us," Himes said.
Greenwich resident Jacqueline Walsh put Himes on the spot on whether the proposed health-care reform bill included any provisions that set up bureaucratic "death panels" that determine patient coverage.
"There is nothing in this bill that will deny life-saving care to any American," Himes said.
So many people showed up for Monday night's forum that the fire marshal had to turn people away at the door. Many of those who did not get into the standing-room-only event remained outside Town Hall to voice their opposition to the public health-care option. Some carried signs saying, "We the people, by the people, for the people, do not pull the plug on the elderly."
Sal Vizzo, who identified himself as a Cos Cob Republican, was among those who were shut out of the event.
"We're heading for communism," Vizzo said. "It's about controlling the American people."
After the Town Hall meeting was finished, Himes, accompanied by eight police officers, went outside the building to address his critics, telling them that they could keep their private insurance plans if they desired under the proposed legislation.
Congress could vote to create a public option as soon as the end of the year, according to Himes.
"I think the very real risk is nothing gets done," Himes said. "This is probably the largest legislative initiative I will see in my lifetime."

Roy Oswalt Channels His Inner Goofball
5 Comments
I was hoping someone caught that, too. Love it!
Great shot. Thanks
I thought that was hilarious!
It's great when you find out that a player who doesn't strike you as funny or nutty reminds you of Roy Campanella's wonderful line that it's a man's game, but you've got to have a lot of little boy in you to play it. For example, one of the funniest things I've ever seen was Orel Hershiser in the Dodger dugout one day as Tommy Lasorda was walking back and forth talking, and Hershiser started doing hand motions to signify someone talking and imitating Lasorda's walk. When Lasorda turned, Hershiser just said hello and went on his way. Another time, Lasorda's uniform had been changed so that the name read LASAGNA. Who had changed it? Of all people, Steve Garvey. Yet they aren't the Dodgers who come to mind when you think of pranksters.
I agree completely.

Agents at the Imperial Beach Border Patrol Station spoke exclusively to NBC 7 San Diego Friday about finding a man in an Imperial Beach canyon and later discovering he was an American citizen who had been abducted as a toddler.
Agent Troy Matthews said around 9 p.m. on Oct. 30, patrolling agents found a disheveled David Amaya, 37, in Goat Canyon with several undocumented immigrants.
They learned Amaya had traveled several hundred miles from near Mexico City to cross the border into the United States.
Amaya told the agents he was an American citizen. Agents at the Imperial Beach station took initiative and looked into his case.
They found Amaya had a birth certificate out of Chicago, and were able to contact Amaya's mother.
"I get a phone call, 'Hey Sir, you're not going to believe this. This guy is telling the truth. We contacted his mother. She's been looking for him for over 30 years,'" Agent Matthews said, describing the moment agents pieced everything together.
When they told Amaya they contacted his mother, Agent Matthews said Amaya was visibly overwhelmed with emotion.
"He kept looking around the room trying to make eye contact with somebody to verify. He was looking for the truth. When he realized it, he put his head in his hands and started crying," Agent Matthews recalled.
Matthews told NBC 7 there wasn't a dry eye in the room.
"The most touching moment was when he said he was abandoned. His father told him his entire life his mother abandoned him and left him as a baby. The mother said, 'Please tell him that's not true. That's not true. I've been looking for him,'" he explained.
Imperial Beach Border Patrol agents say they were so touched by Amaya's story, they started a collection box for Amaya at the station. They raised about $175 and gave it to Amaya on Friday.
Amaya's story has received national attention, with many strangers coming forward offering donations to help cover travel costs for Amaya to finally reunite with his mother.
If you would like to donate to Amaya's fund, donations can be made at any Cabrillo Credit Union under the account name "David Amaya Barrick."
Additionally, donations can be mailed to:

Jan-30-08 New Jersey Historic Trust Announces Recommended List for 2007 Historic Preservation Grants
Recommended Sites Will Go to Legislature for Approval
TRENTON, N.J. – The New Jersey Historic Trust has announced its recommended list for 2007 Historic Preservation Grants. The list of recommended sites was ratified by the Garden State Preservation Trust and will now go to the Legislature for approval. 26 projects at historic sites were selected and would receive a total of over $1 million in funding.
"The Historic Trust continues to work hard towards preserving our state's historic treasures," said DCA Commissioner Joseph Doria. "Historic Preservation Grants will help restore these sites and preserve their historic value for generations to come."
The New Jersey Historic Trust, a DCA affiliate, administers the grants from the Garden State Historic Preservation Trust Fund. The Trust Fund was created to promote historic preservation and encourage joint preservation efforts by the public and private sectors. It funds both capital projects and planning projects for historic preservation across the state.
This 2007 Historic Preservation Grant Round is devoted to Historic Sites Management Grants. Historic Site Management Grants support non-construction activities such as conditions assessments, preservation plans and educational campaigns to increase public awareness. Capital Preservation Grants support 'bricks and mortar' repair, restoration and rehabilitation of historic resources for continued active use.
Since 1990, the Trust has awarded more than $108 million in matching grants to 532 preservation projects through the Garden State Historic Preservation Trust Fund and the Historic Preservation Bond Program. This is the seventh round of funding from the Garden State Preservation Trust, which was established by a voter-approved ballot initiative to preserve open space, farmland and historic sites.
Established in 1967, the New Jersey Historic Trust is the only nonprofit historic preservation organization in New Jersey created by state law. The Trust officially became a DCA affiliate in November 2002, in an effort to better realign the state's smart growth initiatives with historic revitalization. Its mission is to advance historic preservation in New Jersey for the benefit of future generations through education, stewardship and financial investment programs that save our heritage and strengthen our communities.

Everything appears to be working smoothly with a Republican majority in the Arkansas House and Senate.
For anyone emerging from a cave, the state Legislature will be majority Republican in January for the first time since Reconstruction.
Incoming senators, of whom Republicans outnumber Democrats 21-14, met after the general election and picked a member of the majority party, Sen. Michael Lamoureux of Russellville, as Senate president pro tempore for the 2013-14 session. The Democrat in line to be pro tem, Larry Teague of Nashville, was gracious and welcomed Lamoureux. Also graciously, Lamoureux made sure Teague became co-chairman of the Joint Budget Committee, perhaps a more powerful position in some ways than being pro tem.
Then, Republicans used the same selection system for committee assignments the Democrats had used previously, which was the right way to do things.
Good for the Senate, Lamoureux and Teague — a public perception grade of A-plus.
The House has 51 Republicans among the 100 incoming members. One member was elected from the Green Party but is really a Democrat and the remaining 48 are Democrats — 51-48-1 is nowhere close to the majority Republicans expected, but still a majority.
The first order of business, even before the newly elected House members take the oath of office, was to settle the matter of the next House speaker. Traditionally, the House speaker election is held toward the end of a regular session and that person becomes known as speaker-designate. Because of term limits and the relatively short time members have to prepare an agenda, name committees, etc., the speaker traditionally has stepped aside following the session and allowed the speaker-designate to begin the transition process. The speaker-designate then was always confirmed by the new House following elections.
Always, until now.
Darrin Williams, a Democrat, was speaker-designate, but the new House voted not to uphold his election. It would have been historic if Williams had become speaker because he would have been the first-ever African-American to hold the post. But, history was made nonetheless by the election of a Republican, albeit not the Republican who had run against Williams previously.
Rep. Terry Rice, R-Waldron, lost originally to Williams, but drew a GOP opponent for speaker after Williams was unable to get a majority to confirm him. Enter Davy Carter, R-Cabot, who promised to represent all Arkansans and assured Democrats in behind-the-scene talks that he would assign Democrats and Republicans to leadership positions.
Rice made a last-minute plea to assure the same thing, but Carter had the votes. So, Rice became the only person in House history to be defeated twice for speaker in separate elections for the same session.
The House also gets a public perception A-plus. It followed protocol and elected someone from the majority who is expected to be inclusive.
The not-so-public perception is that it may be a contentious session involving Washington-style politics.
After last week's column suggesting that Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe's biggest problem would be finding a legislator who could lead the way he did when he was in the Senate, working and compromising with then-Republican Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Republican friend/senator took exception, saying Beebe "drove a hard bargain" when he was in the Senate and seldom compromised because he had his votes lined up. He hinted that Beebe is situated differently as governor and his agenda for 2013 could meet with majority resistance in the Senate.
On the House side, there is evidence Republicans had planned a news conference to unveil a "my way or the highway" agenda right after the election, based on what they thought would be in the neighborhood of a 60-40 split. When it was 50 and one race still undecided (eventually the Republican was declared the winner) the news conference idea was scrapped.
So, bottom line, everybody is playing pretty in public right now. The question is whether it will continue when the Legislature goes into session in January.

Snow emergency declared for city of Boston
Storm dumps nearly a foot of snow in some areas
As a significant storm made its way into the region on Saturday, promising to bring up to 10 inches of snow in parts of Massachusetts, Boston Mayor Tom Menino announced a snow emergency.
Storm warnings and advisories have been posted for much of Massachusetts by the National Weather Service.
A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for most of eastern Massachusetts. A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for the remainder of Massachusetts, including the Cape and Islands.
The latest computer model guidance indicates a general area of 4 to 8 inches of snow across much of eastern and central Massachusetts. Coastal areas of Massachusetts and New Hampshire, including Cape Cod will see mostly rain, with a quick changeover to snow at the end of the storm.
Hour-by-hour snowfall forecast
"The height of the storm will be Saturday night. The storm will be a quick-mover, but it will be rapidly intensifying as it goes by tonight, resulting in a possible period of heavy snow with falling temperatures," said Storm Team 5 meteorologist David Brown.
In some pockets well south and west of Boston, up to 10 inches of snow could fall.
Futurecast: When snow will pull out of region
On Saturday afternoon, Boston Mayor Tom Menino announced a snow emergency and parking ban for the city which would go into effect at 9 p.m.
"With up to 8 inches of snow expected in parts of the city, and freezing temperatures forecast for the next week, it's extremely important we get our roadways cleared as soon as possible in the interest of public safety," Menino said. "We want everyone to enjoy the holiday weekend in our city, but we're urging an abundance of caution for all.
Menino said in light of the holiday, Boston Department of Public Works crews would be working throughout the weekend and were well prepared for the storm. Approximately 200 pieces of equipment were expected to start clearing city streets by 6 p.m.
In MetroWest and far northern Massachusetts, 4 to 8 inches of snow were forecast. The Cape will mostly rain.
"There will be less on Cape Cod due to rain and mix for a good part of the storm there, but the Cape could get a burst of extremely heavy snow for a few hours late tonight," said Brown.
Skies will clear Sunday with a high of around freezing. Temperatures for the Patriots game at Foxborough were predicted to be the coldest of the football season.

Ok, so, Baron has been in stasis for too long, sitting idle with a power vacuum at the head of it's government. I'm working out what kind of government it should be trying to form for itself right now, but that doesn't really add much to the setting if I start and finish work on it alone. An edit to the Wiki page for Baron that might not even be noticed by a lot of people, you know?
So, while Baron is trying to carry itself through this process, I'd like to hear how various nations, both in Igala and possible outside of Igala, are reacting to the situation. If people are interested, I'll make an RP thread in Gaera Main RPs, and hopefully the whole thing will be interesting for all. Better yet, this doesn't have to be strictly about Baron or have a central GM, which I'll get to in a minute.
On structure: Obviously, for this to be realistic, you can't tell everyone why the nation you're the current expert on is doing everything it's doing, the fine details of that, etc. What I'd like to do is have people post in here what their nation is doing openly and what statements they're making or propaganda they're spreading at the same time. Meanwhile, people will PM me or other people affected by their nation's secret activities with any other important information on what's actually happening, what secret activities are taking place, etc.
For example, let's say that both Barius and Valth take an interest in the situation in Baron. Valth wants to quietly send in a task force to evaluate Baron's defensive and offensive capabilities, to determine how conquerable they are, what assets the nation has to offer it's neighbors, and if they can who Baron is talking with. Outwardly, however, they want to remain neutral from the whole thing. Doug would PM me and tell me what Valth's spies were up to, trusting me to be mature about the whole thing and fairly determine what they can find out. In here, he would simply post that Valth has either openly stated it's neutral position, or even that it makes no statement whatsoever. Barius, meanwhile, not only sends in a small team to evaluate Baron in much the same way, but also looks for agents from other nations doing the same thing. Outwardly, Barius claims to be interested in lending Baron aide, and makes their 'humanitarian activity' widely known. Maybe they send some token economic gift along with their message, maybe not. Shini PMs me with the relevant information about his spies, and posts to the thread with Barius' public announcements. Then it's my job to reveal what his spies learn, and if they learn about Doug's spies. From there, Shini might choose to have Barius start talking to Valth, or he might choose to out Valth's spies to Baron. Or he might keep quiet, and wait for an opportunity to use the information in a better way. In any case, hyjinks ensue.
So, are people interested?
Edit: Concept and execution are totally open to suggestion and rewriting.

Swedish designer Daniel Åberg has, just for kicks, taken a crack at designing not just the logo for Sony's next - and still unrevealed - home console. He's also designed its packaging, game art, menu screen and even a system boot-up sequence.
While it's as far from official as you can get, you should still check it out, because I think it looks fabulous.
Åberg took the name Octave from the fact we're approaching the eighth generation of consoles, and that he believes that, like with the Vita, Sony will be reluctant to place a number after the next PlayStation's name.
He's also ditched use of the word "Sony" on it, which these days might not be the worst idea in the world.
I'm not the greatest fan of "Octave", it's a little corny (plus, would Sony really care about generations it had no part in?), but I love the logo, packaging and especially the colour scheme, which ditches boring blacks, whites and greys for something a little closer to the fiery shades the original PlayStation logo was sporting (the retro theme continues with the boot-up sequence, which sounds reminiscent of the PS2's first seconds).
You can see his full range of ideas below. To see more of Daniel's work, head to his personal site.

| 6.5°C Belfast
Caroline Aherne has backed a new campaign to raise awareness of a rare form of eye cancer she suffered as a child.
The Mrs Merton and Royle Family creator has provided the voiceover for the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust (CHECT) online video campaign aimed at highlighting key symptoms of retinoblastoma.
The campaign has been launched after the writer, actor and comedian revealed last week that she is recovering after being treated for lung cancer. She has vowed to carry on with her TV work.
The 50-year-old has previously been treated for bladder cancer and retinoblastoma (Rb) which typically affects babies and young children.
The video tells the story of Rosie, a young girl who has Rb, and explains how to spot signs of the disease. These can include a squint, a change in the colour of one eye and an abnormal reflection of light in the pupils seen in low light or flash photography. Two different endings have been created for the film, one for parents and the other for health professionals.
Caroline and her older brother Patrick were both diagnosed with the genetic form of Rb as babies and the disease is thought to be linked to her subsequent bladder and lung cancer.
The star said last week: "Both myself and my brother Patrick were diagnosed with retinoblastoma as babies and were lucky enough to receive some pioneering treatment at the time which saved our sight to varying degrees - Patrick had to have his right eye removed.
"It is absolutely crucial that parents are aware of this horrible cancer and know what the early signs are so that treatment can be given as early as possible.
"I sincerely hope that this campaign, and my involvement, will educate and awaken people to the danger of retinoblastoma and highlight the ways in which it can be spotted in its early stages."
Ashwin Reddy, consultant paediatric ophthalmologist at the Royal London Hospital and Moorfields Eye Hospital and medical adviser to CHECT, said those with the heritable type of Rb, like Caroline, have an increased risk of second primary cancers.
"Patients surviving this form of Rb have an increased risk of developing other forms of cancer, including lung and bladder cancer, later in life. It is imperative that adults who have had Rb should be seen regularly in an adult oncology clinic," he said.
Joy Felgate, chief executive of CHECT, said: "We are sure Caroline's involvement will have a huge impact on the success of this campaign to raise awareness of the signs of retinoblastoma.
"We were very sorry to hear of Caroline's lung cancer and wish her a full recovery."
She paid tribute to the generosity of the star and the production team at Changing Horizons, who donated their time and expertise to produce the film.
She added: " We are hoping this message will prompt concerned parents to seek help sooner, offering their child the best opportunity of saving their sight, their eyes and possibly even their life.
"We know many parents unfortunately experience unnecessary delays in accessing treatment and hope this will help encourage health professionals to take parents' concerns seriously, even if the symptoms are very subtle."

Unfortunately, everything here - except for my photograph - is rather outdated. At the moment I simply lack the time to maintain the website. Please see Google Scholar for my papers which are highly cited and a nearly complete list of all of my publications maintained by DBLP.
I am the managing director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems (FOKUS) and a full professor for Open Distributed Systems at the Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin). Previously, I was Vice-Director of the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI) for 8 years and a stream leader in INSIGHT, the Irish National Data Analytics Centre.
My research interests are:
My research is focused around connecting the physical and virtual worlds (you may call this Cyber-Physical Systems or Internet of Things or Internet of Everything or Physical-Cyber-Social-Computing or <insert your favorite marketing term here>). The goal is to enable simple access to data irrespective of their source (sensors, embedded systems, Web, Semantic Web, Linked Data, social media, e.g., Twitter, etc.) and scalable management of this data using a single access abstraction (REST) and a single data model (Linked Data).
Specifically, this targets the efficient access and management of dynamic and static data ("Linked Streams"), data management in the Cloud to enable scalability, semantic descriptions of all data sources and data to enable self-organization and plug-and-play deployments, and platforms and development tools to facilitate analytics and decision-making.
A key design goal is to combine distributed computing (filter and process close to the source) with centralized approaches (Cloud) and let the user decide based on application-specific requirements how this combination should look like (choosing the individual "sweet spot" on a continuous scale from completely decentralized via various decentralized-centralized combinations to completely centralized). My assumption is that the decentralized-centralized combinations will be dominant to achieve properties such as scalability, robustness, and privacy at the same time. This work combines my research on Linked Data, sensor networks, semantics, and distributed systems.
Some results from this work are infrastructures to efficiently process Linked Streams (CQELS, CQELS Cloud) which is nicely demonstrated by the Graph of Things, previously called Linked Stream Middleware.
You may also be interested to try out our Global Sensor Networks (GSN) middleware for zero-programming deployment of sensor networks.
A main result of older work in distributed information systems is the P-Grid peer-to-peer system.
Google Scholar gives an idea which of my papers are highly cited. Another list of publications is maintained by DBLP.
