Home News Guild debate cancelled over hooliganism
By Sam Wakhakha,
:: 24-02-2012
Platform revolution members learnt nothing and forgot nothing from last year's guild presidential debate. The debate that they organised on February 22 was cancelled due to hooliganism.
"I apologise to the guys in front here because they are quite. They expected to hear something from the candidates. However, this session can not go on with the noise that you guys at the back are generating. Therefore, as one of the organisers of this session, I declare it canceled," said Andrew Karamaji, one of the organisers of the event after numerous failed attempts to control the crowd.
Before cancelling the session, Karamaji had tried to arrrest the situation that was getting out of hand by bringing a policeman from the UCU Police Post to speak to the audience. The students who were shouting on top of their voices and blowing vuvuzelas did not allow the policeman to speak. The moderators, not knowing that an utterance from any of the candidates would worsen the already bad situation decided to kick off the session. It was after the candidates tackled the first question that the moderator Andrew Karamaji decided to cancel the debate.

IoT Tech Talk Follow-Up
Last week, I had the opportunity to answer questions about the Internet of Things (IoT) when I took part in Layer 7's monthly API Tech Talk. We had a tremendous response, with lots of questions and a very active online discussion. You can find a replay of the Tech Talk here. I'd like to take this opportunity to answer a few of the questions we received during the webcast but didn't have time to answer on the day.
How does Layer 7 help me manage a range of devices across IoT?
IoT is an opportunity for CA and Layer 7 to bring together identity, access and API Management. To paraphrase a comment on a recent Gigaom article: Everything with an identity will have an API and everything with an API will have an identity.
With so many "things" potentially accessing APIs, what are some strategies for securing these APIs across such a breadth of consumers?
Identify, authenticate and authorize using standards. API for IoT means managing identity for many devices at Internet scale.
How will API discoverability work with the vast number of things, especially if we see REST as the primary communication style?
I reached out to my colleague Ronnie Mitra for this answer. Ronnie pointed out that, in the past, standards like UDDI and WSRR promised to provide service registries but that didn't really work out. Nowadays, we see lots of independent human-oriented API registries and marketplaces that might have more chance of surviving. There are even some runtime discovery solutions like Google's discovery interface for APIs and the use of HTTP OPTION to learn about APIs. At the moment, lots of people are trying lots of things, unsure of where it will all end up. It would be interesting to dive deeper into why we need discoverability to power IoT and when that discoverability has to take place.
How can API security get easier when API demand grows exponentially? There's a big disconnect.
It doesn't get easier. Transport-level security is reasonably well understood but endpoint identity and trust will be challenging.
Where will the intelligence be in IoT? Will there be some form of on-site intelligence, so that core functionality continues even if the connection is lost? Or will all intelligence be cloud-based?
It depends on whether you design for centralized "hub and spoke" or decentralized "domains of concern". The former is responsible for correlating data and events within the domain whereas the latter is responsible for communicating with other domains (I owe this concept to Michael Holdmann's blog). "Domains of concern" design communicates with different domains for different purposes – in an apartment for home automation, in an apartment building for HVAC, in a city block for energy generation/consumption, in a city for utility grid etc. Emergencies or out-of-bound signals are handled like exceptions and are bubbling up through the domains until intercepted. But most things will serve an inherent purpose and that purpose will not be affected by the absence of any connectivity. There will be intelligence within the core of each domain as well as at the edges/intersections with other domains.
What is the best way to overcome fear of exposing data via APIs in an enterprise?
You need to identify a business opportunity. Unless you know what business impact you are trying to archive and how you will measure it, you should not do it.
Does IoT require a strong network or big data or both?
Not a strong network but ubiquitous connectivity. Not big data but sharing/correlating data horizontally between distinct vertical silos.
What significance (benefits/drawbacks) do the various REST levels have with respect to the Internet of Things (connecting, monetizing etc.)?
I had never heard of levels of REST and had to look it up. Turns out the levels are: resources, verbs and hypermedia. Hypermedia would allow you to embed long-lived clients, which could adapt to changes in API design. But it is actually the data or service behind the API which is monetizable, not the API itself. The API is just the means to an end.
How will IoT evolve? And more importantly how can enterprises solve the security and privacy issues that will arise as IoT evolves?
Culturally, the European regulators will try to put privacy regulations in place sooner rather than later whereas the North Amercian market will initially remain largely unregulated until some abuse prompts the regulator to step in. In Germany, the federal regulator tries to stay ahead of the market and recently published a security profile for smart meters. Personally I would look at designing M2M and IoT applications assuming that endpoint data is inherently unreliable and that I can not necessarily trust the source. But that is very broad guidance and may or may not be applicable to a specific use case.
As we create API frameworks that interact with sensors and control objects in the IoT what/who are the best organizations to follow to learn about new protocols that we should be preparing to handle, such as CoAP etc?
Here are some suggestions:
How close are we to having a unified platform for IoT application developers and who is likely to be the winner among the competing platforms?
Chances are there won't be a winner at all. You have companies like Axeda, Exosite, Gemalto, Digi, Paraimpu, BugLabs, ThingWorx, SensiNode, deviceWISE and more. You have industry working groups like Eclipse M2M and various research efforts like SPITFIRE project, Fraunhofer FOKUS, DFuse and many others. The Eclipse M2M framework is probably a good choice to start with.
Even assuming ubiquitous and common networking (e.g. IPv6 on the public Internet) – how will the IoT identify peers, hierarchy and relationships?
I think there is a huge opportunity for identity companies like CA to figure this out. Take a look at EVRYTHNG as one of the few startups in that space. Meanwhile, the folks over at Paraimpu are trying to tackle this challenge by combining aspects of a social network with IoT.

'El superclásico' | Sound and fury masks struggle of greater significance
Clarín lays out the proper routes of approach for Boca and River supporters. "[T]he roads are closed off so rival fans can't confront each other before and after the match," writes Gregory Sica.
Buenos Aires | After the third player was red-carded Sunday, Fox Soccer Channel commentator Thomas Rongen said simply, "It's the superclásico." Down to nine players, Boca Juniors scored on a late penalty and escaped with a 1–1 result against River Plate. Newell's Old Boys slipped past them both, at least temporarily, to lead the Clausura standings through 11 match days.
More interesting even than the game passions and the crushes of shirtless supporters in La Bombonera, some boosting themselves precariously on stanchion bases, the political context lent the end-of-summer derby a compelling backdrop. English-language commentators did not appear to appreciate the significance of River Plate's XI holding a white banner, reading "Nunca Más," at the introductions, nor did they mention the reason for the pre-game moment of silence, interrupted by chanting Boca fans at Estadio Dr Camilo Cichero, the official name of the historic Boca club's home ground.
The clubs in fact found themselves smaller players in the national drama that has seen President Néstor Kirchner declare 24 March—the day in 1976 of a coup that led to seven gruesome years of military rule—a national holiday and speak out on behalf of those tortured and murdered at the military's hands and on behalf of their surviving relatives. "Nunca más" (Never again) has become the rallying cry of this mission as well as having served as the title of the 1984 report of the National Commission on the Disappearance of Persons, summarizing more than 50,000 pages of testimony detailing abduction, disappearance, torture and executions.
Members of Las Madres de Plaza de Mayo, in 2008, acknowledge the 25th anniversary of the election of Raúl Alfonsín. (EFE)
The silence before Boca and River reprised their own hostilities Sunday intended to recognize the up to 30,000 who died. Two days beforehand, on the 30th anniversary of the coup, tens of thousands had packed the streets of Buenos Aires as well as Plaza de Mayo, the square outside Government House where courageous women had demonstrated weekly—gaining notoriety during the 1978 World Cup finals—for answers to the fates of los desaparecidos.
The debates over amnesty for the human-rights violators as well as the place of media, church and ordinary citizens in the evils of the "dirty war" reflect a divided society. Some feel the events have not been sufficiently exposed, while others say that the volatility at the time of the coup, as rule by the charismatic Perons ended, goes underappreciated. Retired bank employee Fabio Tejeria, 77, tells the Chicago Tribune:
The people absorb without analysis any rumor rolled their way, stimulated by the media that forget the facts that are registered in their own archives in order to stoke fantastic tales. Average people think more about their daily problems, especially in this time of joblessness and insecurity. They don't worry too much about politics.

CATEGORIES Documentary, Foreign Language, DIY/Filmmaking, Other Festivals, Cinematical Indie, Movies, CinematicalThe International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam is happening this week, and in addition to showcasing a ton of old and new docs from all around the world, the event features a number of discussion panels. On Saturday, for instance, was the First Annual IDFA UnDebate, which presented representatives from China, India, Australia, the United States, Israel and Brazil talking about the state of documentary film. IndieWIRE has a full report on this talk, and from their perspective it seems that global non-fiction cinema is in a great place right now.
Aside from the overall consensus that documentary films are experiencing good times all over, there were some interesting points to be learned from the UnDebate. For example, distribution for docs in China is pretty much limited to pirated DVDs. In Brazil, docs account for one-third of the country's theatrical exhibition. Australia is experiencing a thriving doc industry via television. In numerous areas, the fashion of using talking heads is going out of style.
Not everything is rosy in the doc world, however, and the American representatives were more attuned to the problems being faced with the genre (are we just more pessimistic here in the States?). Oscar-nominated director Jonathan Stack (The Farm: Angola, USA) expressed a frustration with trying to find a balance between activism and passivity. He apparently has issues with the self-servicing model happening a lot these days, having abandoned a recent project after becoming too involved in its political subject matter. Steven Bognar warned about too many pop docs following familiar models, such as the currently in vogue "contest films." He also claimed too many docs are too long (his latest, A Lion in the House, is 230 min., by the way). His directing partner, Julia Reichert, stated that because it is presently "sexy" to be a documentary filmmaker, that more docs are being produced than can find distribution.
Personally, I think the major problem with docs right now is that too many are too despairing. Just because the state of the world is in turmoil doesn't mean that we have to see depressing and/or hopeless films. Earlier this year, while watching a number of world docs at Tribeca, I was left feeling miserable. That said, I am still excited that non-fiction films are getting more exposure than ever. It would just be better to see more of the inspiring films, such as these I've seen this year: An Inconvenient Truth, The Hip-Hop Project, Shut Up & Sing and Beyond the Call. That doesn't mean I haven't liked some other less hopeful docs, nor do I think they're not important, but as I'm going to more and more non-fiction films over fiction ones, I have to be honest that I'd like to go to the movies without crying once in awhile.

This Week on the Web brings you The Evil Blood Sluts, love interests for Alaric and Bonnie (not each other, you sickos), the story of a man and his buffalo, Barnes & Noble telling Microsoft to fuck off, and Michele Bachmann telling you what Jesus would do: let your lazy ass starve. And some other, less depressing stuff!
Pop Culture
The Evil Blood Sluts is a great name for a band: Drawn by KT, one of our commentors.
A love interest for Alaric? Some Vampire Diaries spoilers, if you're so inclined.
A love interest for Bonnie? Some more Vampire Diaries spoilers, if you're so inclined.
Muppets meet Twilight: Vamphibian = pure win.
Hunger Games theatrical trailer: These movies are going to print money.
Snow White and the Huntsmen trailer: I'm still not clear on why Snow White wears armor and leads an army, but whatevs.
Stephen King's Under the Dome headed for Showtime: Well, they did a great job with Dexter, and a longer-running miniseries is really the only way to do one of King's monsters justice, so… consider me excited.
Robocop director talks about his movie: Apparently, it's going to feature a lot of the building and programming of Robocop, which I think will be fascinating.
More of David Tennant as an asshole vampire hunter: This will be a feature on the DVD. There are rumors of an upcoming all-Tennant Fright Night sequel, which I would see in a heartbeat.
If I was going to reboot Batman: A neat "alternate reality" type of thing. This guy did an previous version of a Batman reboot, as well as the justice league and the legion of doom (via io9)
Whatch'a thinking about: The thoughts that go through a bear's brain. (Via Kate Morris Ainslie)
The story of a man and is buffalo: Sometimes a dog just isn't enough.
Computers and Technology
A brief rant on the future on interactive design: This whole thing is awesome, but my favorite quote is "a tool converts what we can do into what we want to do."
New obesity drug cuts off the blood to your fat cells: Rhesus monkeys dropped 27% of their abdominal fat in four weeks, which is hella impressive. Almost as impressive as the first comment on the article, which state the drug caused "electrolyte abnormalities, dehydration and reversible kidney failure"
Barnes & Noble to Microsoft: Go fuck yourself: B&N has blown the lid on the patents Microsoft is using to hold Android hostage. Spoiler: they're all trivial pieces o functionality that should never have been granted a patent in the first place.
Politics and Religion
Michele Bachmann: if you're unemployed, you should starve: Republican asshole using Bible to justify their assholeisness. News at eleven.

Remember last week, when Terry Francona wasn't going to join the big 100th Anniversary celebration at Fenway Park this Friday, despite entreaties from both John Henry and Larry Lucchino?
Well, forget that. From ESPNBoston.com:
Former Boston Red Sox manager and current ESPN analyst Terry Francona has changed his mind and says he will be attending the Red Sox's 100th anniversary celebration of Fenway Park on Friday afternoon.
Francona told ESPN on Wednesday that he believes he owes it to the fans to show up.
That's Terry Francona for you, always thinking of the fans.
We kid Terry Francona because we love him. He's pretty obviously going because he doesn't want to miss a chance to hobnob with a bunch of old baseball people and maybe get a long standing ovation. But he'd look pretty silly if he said he changed his mind for himself. So mentioning the fans is probably the best way to save face.
Eventually, nobody's going to care why he showed up. Everybody's just going to be glad he did.

Cities hit hard by the housing crisis, like Cape Coral, are experiencing a new problem. There aren't enough rental units to go around.
Rental properties in Cape Coral are in high demand.
"I have no problem today renting my properties," said landlord Bill Erbrick.
Erbrick, a retired chemical engineer decided to spend some of his 401k purchasing several rental properties. He and his wife own 8 duplexes in Cape Coral.
Their financial gamble is paying off.
"I can turn them over instantly without advertising just putting a sign out," said Erbrick.
The rental market has benefited from the housing crisis.
One-time homeowners, forced from their homes due to foreclosure, are forced to rent.
"Our vacancy rate is extremely low right now," said Elmer Tabor, Broker, Wonderland Realty.
Nationally, vacancy rates hit a 10-year low in 2011 and rent has increased by 4.7-percent since last year.
"I'm trying to charge a market rent. I don't want my properties to sit idle," said Erbrick.
Developers, who were once only building single-family homes, are now building rental properties like duplexes.
"We're also beginning to see the flippers buying from the courthouse steps holding onto those properties as rental properties," said Tabor.
And realtors say the longer you wait to get into a rental, the higher you can except your rent to be.

DENVER - The fun staff at Elder Auto are showing Broncos-mania with a clunker, junker car crush.
Owner Ramon Elder said he first used his old cars to host a Green Bay Car Bash when the Broncos played the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XXXII.
This year, Elder painted two clunkers, stacking the Broncos truck on top of the Seahawks sedan.
Elder says the staff and people passing by seem to love the creative car idea.
Using simple paints from a home improvement store, Elder says he created what has become great place to take a photobomb.

Black History Month Timeline Project goes up at the McKenna Student Center
Thursday, February 14, 2013
Nell was an activist and historian during the 19th century who worked to end segregation in Boston's public education system – and he is among the influential figures featured in a Black History Month Timeline Project at Lesley this February.
Presented by the Multicultural Club at Lesley University, the project is a way to create awareness on campus that February is Black History Month, according to Amy Coole, President of the Multicultural Club.
"It's a simple and easy way to create awareness," said Coole, who is between her sophomore and junior year and is majoring in counseling. "Maybe people will learn a quick fact about a person they may not have known before."
Throughout the month, members of the Multicultural Club have been posting photos and brief biographies on the Student Center wall depicting figures important to African American history, such as Phillis Wheatley, Ida B. Wells, Malcolm X, Harriet Beecher Stowe and Eli Whitney.
The annual project is among a line-up of events and activities organized by the Multicultural Club, which aims to educate and raise awareness of the rich and diverse cultures within the Lesley community.
Last semester, the club hosted an India night to celebrate Indian food and culture, and raised awareness about an organization that focuses on children and schools in India.
Next week, the Multicultural Club is among the campus groups presenting the Langston Hughes Project, which will be a multimedia concert performance on Tuesday, February 19, at 6 p.m. in Marran Theater.
See more photos of the timeline project.

Lee Mack: Hit The Road Mack
Lee Mack warms up for his latest national tour. All proceeds donated to charity.
A Night For Ruby:
In memory of Ruby Owen, who sadly passed away in 2013 but who received such excellent care from The Alder Hey Children's Hospital and the Donna Louise Trust, both of which will share the proceeds from tonights show.
The Donna Louise Trust
The aim of The Donna Louise Children's Hospice is to make every moment count for our children and their families. We provide a range of specialist care and support services for children with a shortened life expectancy and their families. From our colourful and welcoming hospice in Trentham, Stoke-on-Trent, we offer respite care, day care and also end of life care. Our dedicated team also goes out to family homes to provide specialist support.
The Hospice provides a home-from-home for children between the ages of 0 -19 years from Staffordshire and South Cheshire. Currently, the Charity cares for more than 180 children from South Cheshire and Staffordshire. All the care and support is free of charge to children and families, but to keep the Hospice doors open, the charity needs to raise £2.5 million a year
Research into brain tumours in children being undertaken at Alder Hey Children's Hospital and the University of Liverpool
Money raised will go towards the children's brain tumour research programme being undertaken as a collaboration between clinicians at Alder Hey Children's Hospital, Liverpool and scientists at the University of Liverpool. We are aiming to identify new processes that are involved in childhood brain cancers and ways in which therapy for these tumours can be more effectively targeted. Every penny raised for our programme goes directly to research into this devastating group of childhood cancers. Lee Mack

2 Domains - 1 Site: Best Practice
Hey all...
First time poster. I have a client with 2 domain names...
Each domain name currently points to it's own server space, but you will notice that the 2 sites are actually exactly the same. The reason why they did this (many years ago) is they purchased HPAS.com for it's great organic listings. But the company's primary site (distributorsfirst.com) was already set up. Rather than just park or point HPAS.com to the company site, they decided to keep it entirely separate. Over time the two sites remained separate, but the content became the same.
Turns out this has worked. HPAS.com continues to generate great organic listings in Google, and DistributorsFirst.com is advertised via Adwords.
So here's the rub...
Now the client wants to transition to a Wordpress site. So we're moving to a new server (Hostgator), and need to consolidate. My thinking is to make HPAS.com the primary domain name, and park DistributorsFirst.com. But I'm not sure.
The company's actual name is Distributors First & all email is based of this domain name. As Wordpress requires a primary domain name, it would be nice for it to be DistributorsFirst.com. But I'm thinking if I set it up this way, and park HPAS.com as the secondary (or should I do a 301 redirect instead?) it will destroy my organic listings in Google.
Anyone have any suggestions / know what's best practice? Many many thanks in advance.

I'm sure that you know that SE's (Google, especially) penalize for identical content on different sites. Therefore:
1. Make the content SLIGHTLY different!
2. Use different domains (you've already got that).
3. Use different IP addresses (that'll reinforce the SE's belief that they are different domains).
4. Get a "serious" client as the above can be accomplished from the same database BUT you'll need to code the slight differences in the theme or after fetching the content from the database. Moreover, changing to a WP-based website means:
A. That you'll lose the ranking of your HPAS website (unless you're REALLY good at retaining URIs - or 301 redirecting all the important URIs) and
B. You MUST keep WP up to date as there are regular exploits against WP that, if you don't update immediately upon a patch release, your website will be insecure (and likely to be hacked).

If the majority of the traffic comes from Google, then you should make hpas.com the primary domain.

Hi Bryan,
Welcome to SitePoint
You should ensure that all the page links that people use on HPAS.com domain are redirected to DistributorsFirst.com. There will surely be links on HPAS.com that don't match anything on DistributorsFirst.com so have any such page redirect to a site map on the new site.
The whole point of the search engine friendly 301 redirect (Moved Permanently) is to capture those well ranked position. As long as you plan out carefully how the links will be redirected you should see the traffic shift the way you want.
If you have access to the root Apache server then you can do a rewrite-map to explicitly map page to page. You can store the relationships in a database or a text file. Otherwise you will use the .htaccess with mod-rewrite enabled and perform each 301 redirect that you need.
You will keep the HPAS.com domain live for enough time for the search-bots to find and register the 301s.
Do you know why HPAS.com has great organic listings? If so make sure that the WordPress redesign captures the things that you are doing In HPAS.com. If you new WordPress site fails at generating the organic traffic then the traffic siphoning boost you get from HPAS.com will be short-lived.ictus=="✓"

I'd go with ServerStorm's advice for using 301 redirects. If the client has had success with 2 domains, imagine how well they will do when all the efforts go into one domain. I would guess that the one domain will eventually get more traffic then the two combined. Plus you won't have to worry about duplicate content.

If you alter the content slightly and get caught, you will get penalized more heavily.
So - best practice - 301 redirect.

Feast your eyes, my friends: the best breakfast sandwich. Ever. I call it… the breakfast banh mi.
I've been eating this for days on end, and I think we've reached a point where it has been fully optimized and further customization is meaningless. There are a lot of components that make this great, and which add a ton of complexity to it. There's the vinegary hummmm of the homemade carrot and daikon pickles; the spicy pop of Sriracha sauce; the war between the buttery eggs and salty/crispy lạp xưởng (Chinese sausage); the Maggi sauce soaked into toasty French bread; and the welcome coolness of cilantro. None of the ingredients are redundant, and work together to get you moaning and picking up the crumbs with your fingers.Ahhh.
At this point, I can't even imagine my life without this sandwich. Everything else just pales in comparison. Sex? Alcohol? Bicycling? They're all ranch dressing compared to the world-shaking twists and turns of breakfast banh mi!
And here's a philosophical side question: can you have a banh mi without pate? Definitely not if it's the classic version. But in this case, the pate and the eggs would generate a textural disaster! (Too bad, since I have a can of foie gras that's burning a hole in my refrigerator.) When you create a dish, you generally want to avoid similar textures. Otherwise, the diner comes away from it with an overpowering sense of its softness (or brittleness, or whatever). I do, however, use mayo in this sandwich, just because I like the taste and it doesn't overstep its boundaries too much.
Breakfast Banh Mi
Fry up some slices of lạp xưởng in oil. When they crisp up, set them on a paper towel and plate to drain. Pour off the excess oil from the pan. Add sliced green onion to the pan, and saute on low heat . Once it's lightly cooked, add two whisked eggs and scramble with the sausage. Set aside.
Warm up a sandwich-sized piece of baguette in a toaster oven or oven oven.
Assemble! I like to go (from bottom up) eggs, Maggi, carrot and daikon pickles, Sriracha, cilantro, mayonnaise, and even more Maggi.

When a metal is exposed to elements in nature, a patina, or slight tarnish, forms as the compound ages. This happens when the alloy comes in contact with atmospheric factors like oxygen or rain, and while many opt to polish the finish away, the weathered effect can be quite beautiful. Salma Hayek's copper nails at the Bambi Awards in Dusseldorf, Germany translated the process into the beauty world, and we like how her digits complement the gold detail in her dress without looking overdone. Antique metallic hues give a touch of sparkle to your fall wardrobe without channeling a disco revival. The deep tones make the colors wearable, but the glittery finish gives off a dressed up effect. Like their elemental counterparts, metallic lacquers also tend to fade after extended wear, so finish your manicure with a generous layer of clear top coat to keep the color in place.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - There are some very happy first graders at Valencia Park Elementary Wednesday.
Wednesday's big reveal, that included a visit from Santa, was a surprise to both students and their parents.
Employees from the Metropolitan Transit System gave bikes and helmets to 99 students in all. The MTS employees collected money to pay for the gifts.
The school's principal says it's just one way to make this holiday season special for students in need.
"It's not just the bikes, it's giving us the opportunity to share some special holiday cheer with all of our families," principal Lori Moore said.
Valencia Park Elementary also received gift certificates for food and gift bags from MTS workers.

This year's Oracle OpenWorld conference is still a couple of months away, but the vendor has already provided an ample sneak peek into what's in store for attendees of the show.
The OpenWorld 2013 content catalog recently went live, and while Oracle is keeping a lid on specific news announcements slated for OpenWorld, a careful combing-through of the show's hundreds of planned sessions can produce some good guesses about what will be on offer. Here's a look.
[ Discover what's new in business applications with InfoWorld's Technology: Applications newsletter. | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
Database details: Oracle made a big splash midyear with the release of version 12c of its flagship database. The release's most-hyped feature is multitenancy, which allows many "pluggable" databases to reside inside a single host database, providing simplified management and upkeep.
Database 12c will be featured in a number of OpenWorld sessions aimed at developers and administrators, but the most significant database news may come from the keynote stage. On a recent earnings call, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison spilled the beans on an upcoming version of the database that incorporates in-memory computing. Further details have been scarce and indications are that Ellison's announcement took people inside Oracle itself by surprise.
Based on Ellison's description, the upcoming database release appears to be the most direct response yet to the likes of SAP's HANA in-memory database, as well as in-memory offerings in the works from Microsoft and IBM.
Oracle already has an in-memory cache called TimesTen; it's not clear whether the release Ellison mentioned will somehow incorporate it, or is something altogether new.
Overall, it wouldn't be surprising if at OpenWorld Ellison and other executives gave a fuller picture of Oracle's in-memory database plans.
Engineered systems update
For the past several years, Oracle has typically introduced a new or updated member of its "engineered appliance" family, which began with the Exadata database machine. The systems combine Sun hardware with Oracle software in packages the company says are optimized for maximum efficiency and performance.
Other product line members include the Exalogic and Exalytics appliances, which handle application server and analytics workloads, respectively.
At last year's OpenWorld, Oracle introduced Exadata version X-3, which it termed an "in-memory machine" for its use of Flash memory and RAM to store data.
But Ellison also said during the recent earnings call that the upcoming in-memory database is designed to work "exceedingly well" with Oracle's M-Series servers, which can hold up to 32TB of RAM. It wouldn't be much of a leap to conclude that at OpenWorld, Ellison will announce a new engineered system that combines the two products.

It's the year 2080 and the population of the robots living among humans is at an all-time high. This would have been fine if the robots minded their own business and stayed out of human lives, but it was not meant to be. An evil corporation with its own hidden agenda is building robots with such finesse and detail that no one can differentiate between a human and a robot. If this happens it will not only spell doom for humans, but for every living species across Earth. In Binary Domain, you play as a brave soldier who will go to any extent to annihilate the evil robots from our beloved planet.
The game is targeted towards hard-core and casual gamers who like games based on the sci-fi genre. The third-person shooter video game has many new features that will get you addicted to the game for endless hours in a day. Binary Domain game DVD is available for the PS3 gaming console and carries a Mature rating from ESRB.
Synopsis and Features
The leader in robotics technology, The Amada Corporation, is producing robots at such a rapid pace that they are outnumbering the humans. The robot numbers have grown to such an extent that they are beyond dangerous now. Playing as Sergeant Dan Marshall, you will help a team of multinational mercenaries to infiltrate into the corporation and stop the robot production. The only question is can you do it in time before it's too late for the entire mankind?
Developed by Yakuza Studio and published by Sega, Binary Domain tells a fearful story of what will happen if robots decide to take over Earth. The single-player campaign in the game will take you across the city of Tokyo where the game is set. The environments in the game have been designed in such a way that they show the heavy destruction caused by the robots. These include shattered slums, crate-riddled corridors and many others.
Combat featured in the game offers plenty of action as you can blind-fire, roadie-run, jump behind cover and do many other things. If you are wounded on the battlefield you can sneak up behind your enemies and execute a powerful melee attack to silence them forever. Enemies featured in the game come at you as different type of robots. These include giant, biker robots, human-like robots and several others.
One of the innovative elements present in the game is the voice command system. This feature allows you to speak commands such as wait, cover me into a headset. This is easier as you don't have to press additional buttons to assign commands, making the gameplay more intense and entertaining.
The game also features a relationship system between you and your team mates that is defined by the actions you take against them. Be good to them and they will help you out by killing more enemies; shoot them in the leg or keep pushing them aside and they will treat you like an enemy. This feature can be especially helpful when you are swarmed by a group of enemies.
If you like playing games with friends or family members you can do that in this game as Binary Domain supports multiplayer. From the classic deathmatch to capture the flag, the game features all the popular multiplayer options. If you like killing multiple enemies who come at you in large numbers you can opt for the horde mode in the game named Invasion. Teaming up with a buddy you can shoot at waves and waves of enemies that come at you with relentless force. You can download the updates and other content for the game from the PlayStation Store.

I had not expected binary domain to be a great game but when i first saw it i couldnt stop my self from playing it It was very adventurous and exciting with a a lot of breath taking movements Altogether the game felt it was lacking personality I felt that it was copied from here and there Also after 4-5 hours of playing it feels a little repeative and similar..Altogether it is a very good game with very interesting cut scenes The graphics was awesome and it felt pretty good banging some metal heads..The story was interesting altogether i feel it is a game worth buying....IF u want a break...

The main restaurants were hit or miss - steaks were great, as was the chocolate raspberry truffle cake. Other meals I had there were average. Service was often slow. I truly enjoyed the buffet was Raffles Cafe - good variety of Italian, Chinese, Indian, and American food. Desserts were missable. Breakfast was always excellent.
Spirit is not a huge cruise ship, so I saw many familiar faces. You have to grab a pool-side lounge chair by 8:00 AM, especially if you want to be in the shade. People did put a towel on chair then leave for two hours, but I can't realistically see how the ship's personnel can prevent that from happening.
I only went to three of the evening shows; most of the others were musical performances and I skipped them. I saw a wonderful (albeit too short) magic show and a Flamenco performance (not enough stomping).
The two excursions (Istanbul and Barcelona City Tour with hotel transfer) were worth the price for their convenience - I discovered that visiting an unfamiliar port in one day by myself could be really frustrating.
The ship docked, cleared customs, etc,and let those not on ship's excursions disembark at each port in about 30 minutes. The only snafu occurred at Mykonos, when only two tenders were operating and it took two hours before my tender, 14, got to the island. Since the ship did not even arrive at Mykonos until 2 PM, no one got to stay on the island for very long. Several passengers missed the ship.

Where you from? In Austin, there's a one in five chance it's overseas
By W. Gardner Selby
Published on Tuesday, November 26th, 2013 at 6:00 a.m.
Twenty days before Thanksgiving, the city of Austin celebrated local residents born abroad.
"Austin is truly an international city. Nearly 20 percent of our residents are born overseas," an Austin city official, Natalie Betts, said in a Nov. 8, 2013, press release about an orientation session in Austin's International Welcome Program.
That's correct. The U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey analysis covering 2007-11 found that about 19.3 percent of Austin's residents were born in foreign countries.
Specifically, according to data from the five-year analysis that city spokeswoman Melissa Alvarado emailed to us, 150,565 of the city's 782,149 residents were born abroad. (Not included: the 11,548 Austinites born in Puerto Rico and U.S. Island areas or born abroad to American parents, who were classified as "native.")
That makes the Live Music Capital of the World more cosmopolitan than the U.S. in general (13 percent foreign-born) or Texas (16 percent), according to other 2007-11 survey data. Austin also edged San Antonio (14 percent) and Fort Worth (17 percent), though it had fewer residents born abroad than Dallas (25 percent) and Houston (28 percent).
For a full breakdown--including the share of such residents born in Mexico--digest the full fact check to the right.

Are you trying to eat healthier this new year while staying on budget? If yes, we are here to help by providing four tips on eating healthier while staying on a budget. Read below to get started.
Transitioning to a diet that is purely organic and filled with fresh foods can become pretty pricey. You can eat healthy and stay on budget by weighing in food costs as you manage your budget. You must prioritize healthy, organic and fresh foods when picking out your diet for the New Year.
Eat Less Meat
Meat products can be very costly because of how much effort and time has to be invested in producing it. The average American citizen eats more meat than he or she really needs to stay healthy. You can stay on budget while taking care of yourself by buying high quality meat in fewer quantities. You will get all the health benefits while staying in a budget.
Buy in Bulk
When you buy in bulk, you save money because bulks are sold at a lower price per quantity ratio. Here are just a few great food products you can buy in bulk:
Ø Pasta
Ø Dried Fruits
Ø Nuts
Ø Flours
Give Your Body The Appropriate Amount of Organic Produce
There are 12 fruits and vegetables you should purchase organically rather than fruits and vegetable pesticides.
Ø Peaches
Ø Apples
Ø Sweet Bell Peppers
Ø Celery
Ø Nectarines
Ø Strawberries
Ø Cherries
Ø Pears
Ø Grapes
Ø Imported Spinach
Ø Lettuce
Ø Potatoes
Eat Seasonally
When you eat seasonally, your food is more inclined to taste better and be more nutritious for you. This happens because your food is not shipped from the other side of the world. Seasonal foods usually cost less. To obtain the best deals, stock up on fruits and vegetables in their natural season. You can then can preserve or freeze them for when they are not in season.

Arizona husky missing for 9 months headed home
By Associated Press

Originally published: Dec 22, 2012 - 3:50 pm
PENDLETON -- A Siberian husky missing from his Phoenix owners since April is heading home from East Oregon.
Nine-year-old Kane disappeared from Leanne Saunders' home one night. Saunders assumes he was stolen.
The East Oregonian reports a Pendleton woman saw the husky wearing a leash on Dec. 10 and called police. The dog was put in the pound for a week, then turned over to a local animal-welfare group.
Saunders had put up signs around Phoenix, but every lead turned into a dead end.
A member of the Pendleton Humane Society tracked down Saunders using the dog's identity chip, made more difficult because Saunders had moved and changed her name since the chip was installed.
When she saw a picture of Kane, she knew he was hers.

TEHRAN — Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, rejected any idea of bilateral talks with the United States in a speech in which he scoffed at Iranian officials who might consider such negotiations.
A staunch ideologue who has often rejected dialogue with America, Khamenei was apparently responding to a United States offer of one-on-one negotiations between the two countries on a range of topics, including Iran's disputed nuclear program, a suggestion that Vice President Joe Biden reinforced last week during a security conference in Munich. The Iranian foreign minister said then he was open to such talks, although Biden noted that they could proceed only if the ayatollah showed serious interest.
