Remembering Galway Kinnell 30 October 2014:
By Namaya | Thu, October 30 2014I remember Galway as a man of action, conviction, and kindness. Some years ago I had spoken to him about our mutual poet friend Hayden Carruth, and Hayden never receiving the recognition that he deserved as one of the truly great Vermont poets. I had suggested that Hayden should be recognized as a state poet laureate, but the state wouldn't offer that recognition. Galway quietly said, "Let's see what we can do."

Eidos has released some new screenshots from Project Eden, a new action game currently in development at Core Design. These new images show some action sequences from the game, but Project Eden actually relies heavily on puzzle solving as well. Each team member has a specialized ability, so when players reach a puzzle area, they have to solve it by determining which team member has the correct skills. Players also have access to a wide assortment of secondary items such a small rover that can drive through vents and other compact areas and a floating camera device for scouting new areas.
Project Eden is scheduled for release in August. For more information on the game, take a look at our previous coverage .

Obama bestows Medal of Honor on NH veteran; ninth living recipient
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama bestowed the Medal of Honor on Monday on a former Army staff sergeant who fought off enemy fighters during one of the bloodiest battles of the Afghanistan war.
Ryan M. Pitts is the ninth living recipient of the nation's highest decoration for battlefield valor for actions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Obama says Pitts displays "the humility and loyalty" that define America's men and women in uniform. Obama noted that the 28-year-old Pitts has said his honor belongs to everyone who was with him during the July 13, 2008 attack in Wanat, Afghanistan.
Obama described how Pitts defended an observation post after the eight other soldiers providing security alongside him were killed in a well-organized attack by about 200 insurgents. Obama said Pitts was bleeding, hit by shrapnel in his arms and legs and sure he would die, as he lobbed grenades and pulled himself to his knees to man a machine gun against approaching insurgents.
"That little post was on the verge of falling, giving the enemy a perch to devastate the base below," Obama said in a White House ceremony. "Against that onslaught, one American held the line."
He called in for air support that helped repel the attack and prevented the enemy from taking his fellow soldiers who had been killed.
Obama honored each of those killed in battle with Pitts by name, and asked their families to rise and be recognized, including two of their children who have grown up without a parent. He also noted it was the second wedding anniversary for Pitts and his wife, who have a 1-year-old son.
"It's going to be tough topping this one, as anniversaries go," Obama joked. But he advised Pitts, "You should try. Don't rest on your laurels after just two years."

I am always being told off by i-technologists for quoting Picasso as having said that computers are useless. But I still love his reasoning? "Because they can only give you answers."
Picasso, like AJAXWorld Magazine, liked questions. So we thought we would share with you what some of the world's leading rich Internet application pioneers are thinking may be the next questions that we need to see answered. From that readers can themselves infer where AJAX is headed.
What are the top questions to ask next about AJAX?
Eric Miraglia of Yahoo!
1. (From March'08) How do I calculate the ROI of building my RIA on the iPhone SDK vs using AJAX?
2. How do I assess the performance of my app and decide what to do next to make it faster?
3. When it comes to accessibility, how do I know what's required of me for my rich web apps? Beyond what's required, what makes good business sense?
4. What are the ten most important steps I can take to make sure my rich internet app is secure? What tools are available to help me diagnose whether it's secure?
5. For all the press that they get, are mashups really contributing to the experience of the web?
Douglas Crockford, creator of JSON
I just have one question I'd like answered: How are we to fix the web? AJAX exploits all of the remaining capability of the 1999 browser standards, which were not state of the art even then. Where do we go from here? Will open standards fall to technologically superior proprietary systems?
Coach Wei, founder and CTO of Nexaweb
1. What are people mostly using AJAX for? Enhancing existing website, building a new website, building an application, replacing an old client/server application, etc?
3. Are you using mashup or do you plan to do some mashup, for which kind of project?
4. Which tools (IDE) do people using for AJAX development?
5. Do you still develop web 1.0 style applications, and why?
See next page for predictions from: Google's Christian Schalk, JackBe's John Crupi, Josh Gertzen of the ThinWire AJAX Framework, Kevin Hakman of TIBCO GI, and Andre Charland of Nitobi.
JOIN IN THE DISCUSSION: What would your questions be: please add them here.

Kurt Cagle 12/26/07 02:43:45 AM EST | ||||
There's a growing impedance mismatch between the large scale providers of content and the consumers of that content as we build multiple messaging architectures. How realistically do we resolve this mismatch in such a way that we are able to preserve both flexibility (SOAP), simplicity (Atom) and brevity (JSON), and can we do so without sparking a religious war? |
Crolly Darvo 12/18/07 05:06:41 AM EST | ||||
Will the browsers development, unification and standardization give us more possibilities and freedom to sophisticate or simplify our interfaces & APIs? |
Brett Green 12/13/07 01:24:02 PM EST | ||||
Do you believe a shift back towards rich desktop apps, which are internet-enabled, will lead away from the need for AJAX-enabled web applications? |
Gabriel Kent 12/12/07 10:57:40 AM EST | ||||
If you imagine the a URI is a handle to a given resource -- is the AJAX community pushing to retain the isomorphic relationship between the URI and a given state of a web application as it changes through AJAX interaction? |
Micha? S?aby 12/12/07 04:55:16 AM EST | ||||
Are off-line applications for web the right direction? Is Google Gears relevant when more and more devices has 24/7 Internet access? |
Marcio 12/11/07 04:20:08 PM EST | ||||
Other questions like: [1] ambiguity in AJAX toolkits, can I match them? how an aspect in Toolkit A can influence toolkit B? The namespaced Web apps becomes now important. It's the same that happened in Browser space, they were different, then become a bit shared, the AJAX toolkits work also may reach a convergence state as we have offline/online caching infra-structure with namespaced events - sandboxed apps in the same page but running each in a given scope. I think the next stage promises good things for us and the current stage is a mess with good value under it. The exploration of the mashup stack and mashup infra for interoperability is an area to massage. |

While Ajax represents the future, it looks like in Georgia they still have developers working in ColdFusion from Adobe - how come? Here's the link: http://www.dot.state.ga.us/ |
Development managers need to ask themselves at least these two questions before adopting AJAX on a project. First, will you make up for the time invested in adopting a new technology through increased development speed? And second, will AJAX allow you to offer a more useful application to your users? |
Ahmed ALEM 11/07/07 06:32:56 AM EST | ||||
The answer is definitely: Java + XML + XSLT + a new ML, instead of: JavaScript + XML + HTML. But is there any project which take into account all these ideas? Are there any band of developers who are interested in re-inventing a better wheel? |
Answer 11/07/07 06:31:07 AM EST | ||||
The next stage of AJAX is Comet. |
mAX kIESELR 11/06/07 10:48:05 AM EST | ||||
It was inevitable that someone would use web 2.0 social aspects together with an AJAX interaction layer to create a next generation weblog. As usual it took a seventeen year old to do it. Logahead is everything I've been looking for recently in blogging software. It's PHP, MySQL, AJAX, and has several social features.

That implies that everything is on the Internet, and that simply should not be - especially for things that are blurring the line between medical devices that stimulate like a pacemaker and quantified self-sensors like a pedometer or pulse tracker.

By Elizabeth White The Industrial Internet revolution is now underway, enabled by connected machines and billions of devices that communicate and collaborate.
The massive amounts of Big Data requiring real-time analysis is flooding legacy IT systems and giving way to cloud environments that can handle the unpredictable workloads.
Yet many barriers remain until we can fully realize the opportunities and benefits from the convergence of machines and devices with Big Data and the cloud, including interoperability, data security and privacy. Jan. 26, 2015 07:45 AM EST Reads: 2,403 |

Former Utah police chief charged with criminal defamation
Steven Guibord is accused of using successor's name to insult fallen officers online
NAPLES, Uintah County — Police Chief Mark Watkins says he always felt a sense of camaraderie with his predecessor, Steven C. Guibord, even after Guibord resigned as Naples police chief in August 2008.
"I felt that I had a really good relationship with the chief," said Watkins, who served as a sergeant and a lieutenant under Guibord.
"I never knew he had anything against me," Watkins said.
Which is why it's so hard for Watkins to understand why Guibord might want to harm his reputation.
Guibord — posing as Watkins — posted comments on memorial pages for two Border Patrol agents that are offensive to law enforcement officers, according to state investigators.
Agents Eduardo Rojas Jr., 35, and Hector R. Clark, 39, were killed in May 2011, after their patrol vehicle was hit by a train while they were assisting other Border Patrol agents near Gila Bend, Ariz. Both men had served with the Border Patrol for more than a decade. They were both married and each had two children.
Clark's page on the Officer Down Memorial Page website included a comment attributed to Watkins that said, "I realize that the Border Patrol is just a security organization, but we, in the police services recognize your sacrifice."
Rojas' page contained a similar comment, also attributed to Watkins, that referred to the Border Patrol as a "security business."
For those in the law enforcement community, being identified as a security guard is considered a serious insult.
Watkins had no idea the comments had been posted or that his name had been used.
"I started getting email messages in my city email from Border Patrol agents and ex-Border Patrol agents about my derogatory comments," he said. "I have the utmost respect for the Border Patrol agents and what they do. They have a tough job down there on the border."
The Officer Down Memorial Page website removed the controversial comments at Watkins' request. It also provided him with the IP address for the person who posted the comments.
Investigators say they tracked that IP address to a laptop that had been issued to Guibord by the private security company he was working for in Afghanistan in May 2011.
Naples city leaders also sent letters of apology to the families of the two fallen agents, calling Guibord's alleged actions those of a "former disgruntled Naples employee."
Guibord, 56, was charged Friday in Uintah County Justice Court with criminal defamation, a class B misdemeanor. He did not respond to efforts by the Deseret News to contact him Tuesday.
Guibord, who served as Naples police chief for 15 years and worked for the Provo Police Department before that, is scheduled to be arraigned Feb. 23.
Watkins said he takes no pleasure in seeing his former boss charged with a crime.
"No. No comfort whatsoever," the chief said. "It's very disappointing."

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CES 2013 -- Vivante Corporation, a global leader in graphics and GPU Compute technologies for consumer and embedded devices, today announced it has joined the GENIVI Alliance, an automotive and consumer electronics industry association driving the development and adoption of an open in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) reference platform. Vivante has rapidly expanded its footprint in the automotive market through partnerships with leading silicon vendors, automotive manufacturers, tier one suppliers, ISVs, and middleware providers that use the latest graphics and OpenCL features. Membership in the GENIVI Alliance allows Vivante to bring GPU expertise to the consortium and push forward innovations in IVI HMI displays.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20091008/VIVANTELOGO)
IVI design and features are a major selling point and key differentiator for automobiles, and the first thing people notice when sitting in a car. An intuitive and beautifully designed IVI becomes an extension of driver and passenger outside the home, creating a comfort zone that combines consumer entertainment with real-time automobile information. IVI encompasses a wide range of applications like entertainment (games, music, news, movies, internet, and social media), radio, navigation, location services, telephony, gesture, and more.
GENIVI's mission is to simplify the development, testing, deployment, and field support of IVI platforms and enable fast time to market of GENIVI products. The platform is built on an open source, Linux-based, reusable solution that is unified across an automotive OEMs entire product line, from luxury to compact segments and across different makes and models. In a connected world where the car becomes a node in the IOT (internet-of-things), a standards body like GENIVI that facilitates development from concept to production will help accelerate mass adoption.
As a member of the GENIVI Alliance, Rightware® provides an HMI solution used by some of the top tier automotive OEMs to create visually stunning user interfaces. They stated the following: "The automotive industry has very high requirements for render quality in HMIs, they are looking for a solution that rids them of artifacts, fixes anti-aliasing issues, and improves the overall image quality. These features are important not only for safety reasons, but also as it strongly reflects to the overall quality image of the car," stated Ville Ilves, COO at Rightware®. "Rightware's Kanzi® Solution, which supports OpenGL ES 3.0, enables designers to take advantage of Vivante's OpenGL ES 3.0 hardware and continue pushing the envelope in graphical HMI quality. By combining these two technologies, automotive OEMs are able to deliver desktop-quality graphics and performance to the screens in your car."

"The property manager was very professional and easy to work with. The owner lives downstairs. She is very friendly as well. However, I felt rushed to check out of the room. We had wanted to go ski in the morning and checkout at noon. The owner wanted to bring in the cleaning crew at 9am, but that wouldn't work. Since there is no checkout time specified in the contract, I just assumed that 11 am or 12 noon was reasonable. Be sure to get in writing when the checkout time is. All in all it is a lovely place, plenty of space, comfortable beds and rooms. The reason I took away a star was that the heat is controlled downstairs, so you don't have any way to turn it down or up without contacting the owner. Also, while the unit has a separate entrance, you are not able to lock that door upon leaving. You have to enter and exit from the main house if you want to lock the unit. Kind of weird and troublesome. Seems like it shouldn't be too difficult to put a lock with a key on the door. It appears this used to be a bed and breakfast, maybe that is why it doesn't have a lock and key."
"We all loved this house! It was so close to The Canyons Ski resort, a few short miles from the city. There was a fantastic shopping center even closer. Plenty of spacious room for all of us in the house and it was clean. Favorite features were the jacuzzi and the bunk beds. Property management was friendly and helpful. The man we spoke with was very kind and did everything he could to make sure our stay was fantastic. My picky father in law said on many occasions that he wanted to buy the home. We will definitely come back! Thanks for everything!!!!!"
"What a great cabin that allowed our family of 27 to create some awesome memories. With a wonderful great kitchen, we had some great meals and even baked lots of cookies in the convection oven. Had plenty of beds and extra room for us to bring our own air mattresses everyone had somewhere to sleep. We had all ages, some played cards, others used the pool table, while the rest got to watch movies and super cross on the big screen t.v. The kids loved sledding on the slopes and driveway. The ski resort was easy to get to. We had skiers, snow boarder, those who rode snow mobiles, and everyone enjoyed the tubing hill. Which was fabulous for all ages. Had such a good time, we decided we need to do this again, maybe in the summer next time. Want to make memories, have a relaxing time, this is definitely the way to go."

Toronto 2012: Terrence Malick's 'To the Wonder' Bows Without Wows
The reclusive writer-director's sixth feature film comes less than a year after his fifth was nominated for the best picture and best director Oscars.
During the 39 years since the release of Badlands (1973), film aficionados have come to regard the unveiling of a new Terrence Malick movie as a true "cinematic event," as his latest, To the Wonder, was introduced at its North American premiere Monday night at the Toronto International Film Festival. This excitement is due in part to his immense capabilities as an artist but also, it must be said, because he doesn't put out many movies. He followed Badlands five years later with Days of Heaven, then took off 20 years before returning with The Thin Red Line, then went silent for another seven before The New World and another six before last year's The Tree of Life.
Shockingly, though, we now have a sixth Malick movie less than a year after his fifth was feted with Oscar nominations for best picture and best director. Even more surprising is that the general consensus about To the Wonder -- both here and earlier this month in Venice, where it was booed during its world premiere -- is that Malick probably should have taken a little more time to try to work out its kinks. Indeed, To the Wonder is shaping up to be the 68-year-old's least critically embraced film yet, which might, in part, account for why it has yet to find a North American distributor. I was far from the only one who found it to be visually beautiful but almost sickeningly self-indulgent and pretentious.
PHOTOS: Toronto Film Festival Day 5
By now, people have a general idea of what to expect from a Malick movie: a film that is more about moods and moments than a clear plot told through a traditional three-act structure; a constantly moving camera; and shots -- culled from hundreds of hours of recordings -- of fields blowing in the field, machinery pumping away, beautiful women who have little to say, innocent kids running around, people whispering to each other and references to Jesus Christ. This film checks off all of those boxes, yet somehow succeeds far less than many of his other efforts that did the same.
In short, To the Wonder centers on an emotionally distant American (Ben Affleck, who is left with hardly a single line of dialogue in the final cut of the film, which might explain why he elected to fly home before rather than after the premiere) and two women with whom he has serious -- or at least passionate -- relationships at different points during the course of the film. One is a single mother (former Bond girl Olga Kurylenko) he meets in Paris and brings back with him to the U.S. heartland, along with her daughter; she insists that she doesn't hope for marriage, but rather "just to go a little of our way together." (The first and last minutes of the film feature voice-over narration from her in French, accompanied by English subtitles.) The other is a former childhood sweetheart (a blond Rachel McAdams) with whom he reconnects; she makes no bones about the fact that she does want marriage. (She really only appears for about 10 minutes, give or take, in the middle of the film.)
STORY: Terrence Malick's Wife Makes Bizarre Statement About 9/11
This guy must be really great in bed, because he doesn't bring a whole lot else to the table that would explain why two gorgeous women want to please him so desperately; in fact, he seems utterly disinterested in them and everything else. (Actually, my sense, from flashes in the film, is that religious beliefs keep both women from having sex with him, in the fullest sense, prior to marriage.)
The women, meanwhile, feel like an older man's idealized vision of what young women today are like -- providing nothing but sexual gratification and/or aggravation and so carefree and childlike that they literally dance around everywhere, jump from rock to rock, play with dirt, lick trees, chase birds, etc. A little bit of this sort of behavior is endearing; after a while, though, it makes the movie start to feel like one of those R. Kelly operatic music videos that look good but feature ridiculous and drawn-out storylines that never seem to end.
Malick is famous for shooting endless amounts of footage and then slowly culling together a film in the editing room. For this one, Kurylenko and McAdams agreed during a post-screening Q&A (full video here), he shot enough footage to make 10 movies, then left much of it on the cutting-room floor. The actresses acknowledged that they actually shot a number of scenes together and were somewhat surprised that none of those scenes wound up in the final cut. Similarly, I'm sure that there is plenty of footage somewhere of Oscar winner Javier Bardem, who appears only sporadically throughout the film, for reasons that aren't at all clear.
Perhaps the problem with To the Wonder is that it hit too close to home for Malick to allow him to be objective about it: The filmmaker fell in love with a woman while in France during the 1980s (she became his second wife), then moved back to the U.S. with her. They ultimately divorced, at which point he, too, reconnected with his former high school sweetheart. (The biggest difference -- spoiler alert -- is that Malick then made the other woman his third wife and remains with her to this day; in the film, his reluctance to marry her causes a severance of their relationship.) When Kurylenko and McAdams were asked during the Q&A if Malick had told them that this film, like The Tree of Life, is semi-autobiographical, they refused to confirm or deny. Kurylenko demurred by saying she felt that was a subject best left to Malick to address (don't hold your breath), and McAdams granted just that it had been a very "personal film" for him.
The bottom line is this: To the Wonder didn't go over well here. It wasn't booed, but it wasn't cheered either; each of its several false endings, once revealed to be false, prompted audible murmurs, and when the credits finally did begin to roll, the applause was merely polite and not sustained, as it was this year for Cloud Atlas and The Impossible, among others. Even if the film's distribution rights are picked up at the fest, I can't imagine that it will come out this year. And, whenever it is released, I have a hard time imagining it will be a major Oscar player, apart from perhaps an art direction nom for Malick's longtime collaborator Jack Fisk and/or the beautiful cinematography provided by perennial nominee/bridesmaid Emmanuel Lubezski. Then again, the thing that surprised me the most last year was how just popular The Tree of Life proved to be, at least with a segment of the Academy, so I guess one never knows.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Hamas rejected the Egyptian-mediated ceasefire proposal and continued its rocket fire on the civilian population after the ceasefire went into effect Tuesday morning.
Israel's Security Cabinet responded by resuming targeted airstrikes on the terror infrastructure in the Gaza Strip.
A former high-ranking Israeli officer told CBN News the ceasefire proposal backs Hamas into a corner. If they reject this very public offer, then Israel will be able to renew its military operation with the backing of the international community.
"Now if Hamas rejects the Egyptian proposal, if Hamas continues to shoot rockets at Israeli cities, we are prepared to continue the military operation and to intensify as need be to protect our people," Mark Regev, spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, told CBN News.
Diplomatically, it also pits Hamas against other players in the region such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the U.S.
On the military front, according to an Israeli official, Hamas sustained a significant blow and failed in almost all its objectives, in large part due to the effectiveness of the Iron Dome anti-missile system.
"Every time they're launching a rocket at the State of Israel, they are meeting a brick wall called the Iron Dome," the official said.
Yet without a military victory, Hamas seeks to win on another battlefield. Hollywood screenwriter Dan Gordon spoke with CBN News as a civilian before being called up as a reservist.
"Hamas views journalism as war," he said.
Gordon believes Hamas may have lost on the battlefield, but it does much better on the world stage.
"The other part of their campaign is world opinion and it's quite insidious. It's to engage in active terror while claiming the mantle of victimhood," he explained.
"The object of that is to turn world opinion so that even though they're losing militarily, world opinion will say we really have to stop the Israelis from committing those horrible acts of barbarism against the peace loving Hamas and that unfortunately [allows] segments of the media [to] actually unwittingly act as enablers," he said.
Now the terror group will have to deal on the diplomatic stage and with a peace offer on the table, it puts more political pressure on Hamas from the international community to accept the proposal.

Apple CEO Tim Cook: Mac, iPad lines will not merge
During the company's Q2 2012 Financial Results Conference Call, Apple CEO Tim Cook made several very interesting comments regarding the merging of traditional PCs with tablets. Cook said that while any two types of products can be forced to converge, the resulting products involve tradeoffs, and eventually reach the point at which they no longer appear to anyone; combining products creates compromises that do not please either user. He used the MacBook Air as an example of continuing innovation in the Mac space, and said that it appeals to someone who has somewhat different requirements than an iPad user. Cook specifically said that Apple will not make the compromise of convergence, adding that while others might converge their lines—especially for defensive reasons, such as seeing their computer or tablet sales flagging—Apple will play in both markets simultaneously.

I like the fact that Macs and iPads will not merge. No one uses a Corvette like a four-wheel drive truck. Different jobs and different problems require different solutions.

In addition to whatever arguably practical reasons justify the statement, there is also this
1: It's a sideways dig at Microsoft announcing they'll develop Windows 8 for ARM tablets. Not sure if it's a justified dig, but it's expected that they're going to claim anyone doing so is weak and wrong so long as Apple is doing so well by not tying the iPad and iOS to any particular desktop platform.
2: It's a tacit admission that such a merge makes little sense for Apple. In the world of desktop agnostic tablets, Apple is crushing the competition. Meanwhile, though extremely popular with their fans, Macs are the equivalent of, say, HP's tablets in the world of desktop computing. The iPad and iOS are doing just fine not tied to any "proper" computing platform. Doing so, especially the Macintosh platform, would do nothing but hurt that formula, especially considering such niggling issues as Linux having a larger install base than Mac OS and Android growing much faster in terms of units than Mac OS.
