Illume Software, a developer of location-powered lifestyle and enterprise solutions, today appointed Daniel Ross as president and chief executive officer. With more than 20 years experience as an operational executive building and leading some of the most successful software and services start-ups in New England, Ross brings unrivaled management expertise to this emerging marketplace. Combined with Illume Software's core strength in mobile technology, Ross's track record of creating category leaders well prepares the company for market penetration.
"Illume presents me with the unique opportunity to pursue my business interests in parallel with my personal dedication to inspiring and shaping the next generation," said Ross. "I am joining an impressive team of experienced mobile telecom, internet and media veterans at Illume Software, a company that has gained incredible momentum and attention in just its first year of existence. I look forward to leading the continued growth of iZUP and the development of new location-critical mobile safety solutions."
Prior to joining Illume Software, Ross was managing partner of Maxis Capital in Boston, a global private equity firm. Ross was also a member of CommonAngels, an organization of successful entrepreneurs in the software, information technology and internet business communities. Over the past decade Ross led the turnaround of middle-market software and services companies including Optiant, Manna and DarwinSuzsoft (now Dextrys), which became one of the top three U.S.-based Chinese offshore IT services companies. As senior executive at OpenMarket, Ross played a major role in building the company to become the global market leader in e-commerce and taking it public for the most successful IPO on NASDAQ during 1996. Ross is also an Entrepreneur in Residence at GrandBanks Capital.
Previously, Ross led the financial and operational turnaround of Picturetel, where he doubled profitable revenues to $500 million in less than two years. In his 16 years at Digital Equipment Corporation, Ross held various senior management positions building several units to over $2 billion in profitable revenue. He brings to Illume Software significant start-up experience in the telecom industry and a career history of growing businesses, raising $125 million across five companies.
Dan is also active with inner city high school entrepreneurial programs at the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship, where he is a past board member, and serves as an advisor to the MATCH school in Boston. He has lectured at MIT Sloan School, The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and Babson College on Entrepreneurship speaking on the topic of how to make money while serving the greater good.
Ross joins Illume Software just as the company introduces its flagship product iZUP, the only mobile application that effectively eliminates all cell-phone related driver distractions. As executive leader, Ross will build upon iZUP's momentum to spearhead innovation in the new marketplace of location-critical, mobile safety solutions. Ross steps into the role previously held by Matthew I. Growney, who served as Illume's interim CEO while the board conducted its executive search.
"I am thrilled to see Dan take the reins as Illume Software's newly appointed president and CEO," said Director and Executive Advisor Matthew I. Growney. "Ross's in-depth experience and widespread success in the start-up and venture capital industry in New England perfectly positions him to drive Illume Software's market dominance."
About Illume Software
With headquarters in the Boston area, Illume Software is led by experienced mobile telecom, internet and media veterans and boasts an advisory board of prominent business, political, financial and technology leaders.
Today, Illume is working on mobile solutions to real lifestyle problems. iZUP, a responsible solution to cell phone-related distracted driving, is the first of many products.
We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets.

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

New Enterprise Associates, others invest $30M in Groupon
Send this to a friend
- Tierney Plumb
- Staff Reporter
Groupon, a year-old social commerce service, has raised a $30 million round of venture capital led by Accel Partners with participation from New Enterprise Associates.
New Enterprise Associates, which has offices in Chevy Chase and Baltimore, was the Chicago-based company's initial investor.
The money will be used to speed up Groupon's customer acquisition, expand into new geographies and continue to develop its technology. Groupon gives customers discounts on local businesses -- from restaurants to spas -- in 26 major cities across the U.S., including D.C., and has plans to be in 30 cities by the end of the year. To date, customers have bought more than 800,000 "Groupons."
New Enterprise Associates, an active investor in early-stage companies, recently led a $16 million investment in Baltimore-based Millennial Media and invested $5 million in Clifton Park, N.Y.-based Apprenda Inc.
Florida Opportunity Fund, a state-backed economic development partnership, recently invested $4 million in the Maryland venture capital firm.

Anthem plaintiffs approved for $90 million in settlement
Send this to a friend
- Staff Louisville Business First
The largest class-action lawsuit out of an Indianapolis court was approved by a federal judge for $90 million to former policyholders of Anthem Inc.
The Indiana Business Journal reports the settlement will go to 700,000 claimants in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and Connecticut who said Anthem underpaid them when the company went from policyholder ownership to publicly-traded WellPoint Inc. in 2011.
The plaintiffs said they were underpaid between $227 million and $448 million, according to the report, but WellPoint said it didn't owe anything. WellPoint (NYSE: WLP) is the Indianapolis-based parent of Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Kentucky.
Following an Oct. 25 hearing, Judge Tonya Walton Pratt said the terms of the settlement were reasonable, fair and adequate, according to the report. Her ruling on attorney's fees hasn't been reached yet.

Britten's Lachrymae at Wigmore Hall
The Nash Ensemble's final contribution to the Wigmore Hall's Britten centenary series, 'Before Life and After', presented works for soloists and strings.
After the horrors of Jagoš Marković's production of Le Nozze di Figaro in Belgrade, I was apprehensive lest Nabucco in Serbia's second city of Novi Sad on 27th October would be transplanted from 6th century BC Babylon to post-Saddam Hussein Tikrit or some bombed-out kibbutz in Beersheba.
First Toronto, then Houston and now San Francisco, the third stop of a new production of Puccini's La bohème by Canadian born, British nurtured theater director John Caird.
Every once in a while Los Angeles Opera presents an important recital in the three thousand seat Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
This third revival of Laurent Pelly's production of Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore needed a bit of a pep up to get moving but once it had been given a shot of 'medicinal' tincture things spiced up nicely.
Founded in 1996, Samling describes itself as a charity which 'inspires musical excellence in young people'.
The good news is that you don't have to go all the way to Pesaro for great Rossini.
Maître à danser: William Christie and Les Arts Florissants at the Barbican, London, presented a defining moment in Rameau performance practice, choreographed with a team of dancers.
The most memorable thing (and definitely not in a good way) about this performance of Le Nozze di Figaro at the Serbian National Theatre in Belgrade was the self-serving, infantile, offensive and just plain wrong production by celebrated Serbian theatre director Jagoš Marković.
Should looks matter when casting the role of the iconic temptress for HD simulcast?
Maurice Greene (1696-1755) had a highly successful musical career. Organist of St. Paul's Cathedral, a position to which he was elected when he was just 22 years-old, he later became organist of the Chapel Royal, Professor of Music at the University of Cambridge and, from 1735, Master of the King's Music.
Yet another Tosca is hardly exciting news, if news at all. The current five performances have come just two years after SFO alternated divas Angela Gheorghiu and Patricia Racette in the title role.
What an enjoyable opportunity to encounter Dvořák's sixth opera, Šelma Sedlák¸or The Cunning Peasant!
Whether biblical parable or mythological moralising, it's all the same really: human hubris, humility, sacrifice and redemption.
Opera Rara brought a rare performance of Donizetti's first opera for the Paris Opera to the Royal Festival Hall on 4 November 2014, following recording sessions for the opera.
Bass baritone, Luca Pisaroni, known to opera lovers throughout the world for his excellence in Mozart roles, offered San Diego vocal aficionados a double treat on October 28th: his mellifluous voice, and a recital of German songs.
Jonathan Miller's production of La bohème for ENO, shared with Cincinnati Opera, sits uneasily, at least as revived by Natascha Metherell, between comedy and tragedy.
Any Florian Boesch and Malcolm Martineau performance is superb, but this Wigmore Hall recital surprised, too. Boesch's Schubert is wonderful, but this time, it was his Liszt and Strauss songs which stood out. This year at the Wigmore Hall, we've heard a lot of Liszt and a lot of Richard Strauss everywhere, establishing high standards, but this was special.
The weather was auspicious for Wexford Festival Opera's first-night firework display — mild, clear and calm. But, as the rainbow rockets exploded over the River Slaney, even bigger bangs were being made down at the quayside.
The cast of supporting roles was especially strong in the company's new production of Mozart's matchless masterpiece
The company uncorks its 40th Anniversary season with a visually and musically satisfying production of Johann Strauss Jr.'s farcical operetta
The Nash Ensemble's final contribution to the Wigmore Hall's Britten centenary series, 'Before Life and After', presented works for soloists and strings.
Composed for its dedicatee, William Primrose, who premiered the work at the 1950 Aldeburgh Festival, Lachrymae once again occupied Britten in the final months of his life, when he returned to the work in order to arrange the original piano accompaniment for string ensemble, charging the relationship between soloist and accompanists with increased tension and concentration.
The viola was Britten's own instrument and so often — as in the passacaglia in Peter Grimes, or the second movement of the two Portraits for strings, written when he was just 17 years old, or the Third String Quartet, composed shortly before his death — is seems to be the instrument through which he speaks most personally. In Lachrymae, inspired by Dowland's melancholy song 'If my complaints could passions move', Britten's own voice converses discursively with voices from the past, creating an ambience of ambiguity and mystery.
Soloist Lawrence Power conveyed the searching hesitancy of the melodic line with probing eloquence. Although the opening is tentative — a quotation from Dowland's song is introduced and submerged in a low-lying register in the accompaniment — Power established his presence and poise, while sustaining the air of expressive mystery. The viola's fragments of quotation from Dowland, haunting snatches of an archaic sound world, were poignant lyrical utterances when juxtaposed with the uneven, unstable, more modern instrumental fabric.
Martin Brabbins deftly shaped the unfolding exchanges between soloist and players, and within the ensemble, crafting interchanges suggestive of conversation and quotation. There was a sense of distancing and translation: from voice to viola, and from Elizabethan past to modern present. The co-presence of Dowland's compositional voice and Britten's idiosyncratic idiom seemed both curious and inevitable, the two held in balance and in alternation throughout.
Brabbins was concerned with the minutiae of the score but also controlled the whole form as the sequence of variations (or 'Reflections' as Britten called them) progressed towards the full revelation of its source. From the shadowy opening of the Lento, with its muffled tremolos and muted una corda playing, the piece built in intensity. The approach to the interruption of this evolution by the viola's statement of the Lachrymae of the title, Dowland's Flow My tears', in Reflection 6 was electric; and Brabbins' emphasis on the vivid textural contrasts, complemented by the viola's direct utterance, made for a powerful and moving climax.
Britten's innate and renowned sensitivity to words can seem wasted on Rimbaud's somewhat self-indulgent poetry, which expresses the nineteen-year-old Frenchman's sense of excitement when faced with the thrilling potential of modernity and new frontiers, and which the composer set in the instrumental song cycle, Les Illuminations. Britten himself was only 26 at the time of composition, but it is clear that he already had an ear for French idioms and rhythm. And, this was emphasised further by soprano Sandrine Piau's beautiful, understated enunciation of her native language, highlighting by turns the languid repose and racy energy of the verse.
This was a commanding, polished performance, one which retained the sensuality of Rimbaud's animated, colourful outpouring but which also maintained a certain distance, clarity and composure. 'Villes' was light and airy, Piau momentary blossoming when the poet-speaker exalts: "Old craters, encircled by colossi and palms of copper, roar melodiously in the fires". The string lines and voice are very much of equal import, the latter often melodically subordinate to the on-going instrumental discourse; Brabbins and the players of the Nash Ensemble were firmly focused, alert to the instrumental arguments and colourings which embrace the voice. The violins' dance-like melodies in 'Antique' were wonderfully undulating and sinuous, while the march-like tune in 'Royauté' had real rhythmic bite.
In the latter, Piau revealed her wit and humour; but she was equally at home with the more prosaic recitative of 'Phrase', producing an incredible gracefulness at the very top of her register, and dancing weightlessly through the glissandi, accompanied by delicate string harmonics. The virtuosic twirls and runs of 'Marine', "tourillons, tourillons', and the constant and surprising shifts of mood, presented no difficulties. After the drolleries of the opening of 'Parade', Piau's gleaming rich sound bloomed in the ecstatic 'final' phrase: "J'ai seul la clef de cette parade sauvage." ("I alone hold the key to this savage parade!" Her ability to convey diverse nuances in different contexts was strongly evident here: this phrase appears in both the opening 'Fanfare' and the 'Interlude' but Piau drew completely different meanings from the phrase through tone and articulation. This was a fresh and direct performance, which received a well-deserved rapturous reception.
Fittingly, for the work received its world premiere in the Wigmore Hall in 1943, the concert concluded with the Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings. This was an almost overwhelmingly intense rendering, both soloists — tenor John Mark Ainsley and horn player Richard Watkins — performing from memory. Ainsley was movingly expressive and eloquent; but, for me Watkins was the star of the whole evening, every note intelligently conceived and produced with supreme technical mastery, the considerable challenges of Britten's writing for the natural horn despatched effortlessly. In the opening 'Prologue', Watkins manipulated the inherent out-of-tuneness of the instrument to marvellous effect. Throughout the work his phrasing was beautifully judged, nowhere more so than in the haunting echoes of 'Nocturne'. Elsewhere his golden legato and glowing tone simply took my breath away.
Ainsley's flexible, relaxed opening phrase in 'Pastoral' — rounded, perfectly placed and beautifully poised — set the bar for the rest of his performance. 'Nocturne' was elegant but unfussy, the dialogue between voice and horn. In the extended horn preface and postlude of 'Elegy' Watkins' eerily descending semitones powerfully embodied the sense of sin which Blake's troubling verse obliquely conveys. The darkness which settled over this number carried to 'Dirge', as Ainsley's insistent, increasingly fearful tone brought the shadows of nightmare into the hall, the high keening of the tenor's melody reiterating the mocking semitone of the 'Elegy', extending its terrible influence. The tension was released by the fleet hunting calls and cascading scales of 'Hymn', a setting of Ben Jonson's 'Hymn to Diana', goddess of the moon and of the hunt. After a virtuousic cadenza at the close of this movemenr, Watkins unobstrusively left the stage; Ainsley delivered a silky if not soothing performance of Keats' "O soft embalmer of the still midnight". Shades of unease were latent in the high Ds of the final line, "And seal the hushed Casket of my Soul", intimating the ultimate 'rest', and confirming that the disturbing dreams of the earlier movements had not fully been banished.
The Nash Ensemble strings were superb throughout, and Brabbins tempi were unfailingly well-judged. If I were to admit to one small misgiving it would be that the Epilogue, delivered by Watkins from the gallery at the back of the Hall, seemed to have too much presence, too much solidity. A more diffuse, ethereal quality — one that might have been achieved if Watkins had played off-stage, perhaps with door ajar, behind the platform — would have sustained the enduring ghostliness that lingered in so many of the movements. But, this complaint seems ungenerous when we were treated to such a wonderful evening of music-making.

Increase in the heart rate variability with deep breathing in diabetic patients after 12-month exercise training.
ABSTRACT Autonomic neuropathy in diabetes leads to impaired regulation of blood pressure and heart rate variability (HRV), which is due to a shift in cardiac autonomic balance towards sympathetic dominance. Lower HRV has been considered a predictor of cardiac mortality and morbidity. Deep breathing test is a simple method to measure HRV and it provides a sensitive measure of cardiac autonomic function. The effect of long-term physical activity on HRV in type-2 diabetes mellitus is inconclusive. We aimed to evaluate the effects of regular physical exercise on HRV with deep breathing in type 2 diabetes (n = 105). Thirty normotensive diabetic patients and 25 hypertensive diabetic patients underwent physical exercise program for 12 months, and the other 50 patients (22 normotensive and 28 hypertensive diabetic patients) were considered the non-exercised group. Electrocardiogram was recorded during deep breathing and HRV was measured. Regular exercise significantly increased HRV in diabetic patients with and without hypertension. The degree of the increase in HRV was greater in hypertensive diabetic patients (p < 0.01) than in normotensive diabetic patients (p < 0.05). After exercise, glycosylated hemoglobin levels were decreased in both groups of diabetic patients. Moreover, the hypertensive diabetic patients showed a decrease (p < 0.05) in blood pressure after regular exercise. Thus, regular exercise training increases HRV, suggesting that there is a shift in the cardiac sympathovagal balance in favor of parasympathetic dominance in diabetic patients. Long-term physical training may be an effective means to reverse the autonomic dysregulation seen in type 2 diabetes.

Article: Physical activity advice only or structured exercise training and association with HbA1c levels in type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Regular exercise improves glucose control in diabetes, but the association of different exercise training interventions on glucose control is unclear. To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) assessing associations of structured exercise training regimens (aerobic, resistance, or both) and physical activity advice with or without dietary cointervention on change in hemoglobin A(1c) (HbA(1c)) in type 2 diabetes patients. MEDLINE, Cochrane-CENTRAL, EMBASE, ClinicalTrials.gov, LILACS, and SPORTDiscus databases were searched from January 1980 through February 2011. RCTs of at least 12 weeks' duration that evaluated the ability of structured exercise training or physical activity advice to lower HbA(1c) levels as compared with a control group in patients with type 2 diabetes. Two independent reviewers extracted data and assessed quality of the included studies. Of 4191 articles retrieved, 47 RCTs (8538 patients) were included. Pooled mean differences in HbA(1c) levels between intervention and control groups were calculated using a random-effects model. Overall, structured exercise training (23 studies) was associated with a decline in HbA(1c) level (-0.67%; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.84% to -0.49%; I(2), 91.3%) compared with control participants. In addition, structured aerobic exercise (-0.73%; 95% CI, -1.06% to -0.40%; I(2), 92.8%), structured resistance training (-0.57%; 95% CI, -1.14% to -0.01%; I(2), 92.5%), and both combined (-0.51%; 95% CI, -0.79% to -0.23%; I(2), 67.5%) were each associated with declines in HbA(1C) levels compared with control participants. Structured exercise durations of more than 150 minutes per week were associated with HbA(1c) reductions of 0.89%, while structured exercise durations of 150 minutes or less per week were associated with HbA(1C) reductions of 0.36%. Overall, interventions of physical activity advice (24 studies) were associated with lower HbA(1c) levels (-0.43%; 95% CI, -0.59% to -0.28%; I(2), 62.9%) compared with control participants. Combined physical activity advice and dietary advice was associated with decreased HbA(1c) (-0.58%; 95% CI, -0.74% to -0.43%; I(2), 57.5%) as compared with control participants. Physical activity advice alone was not associated with HbA(1c) changes. Structured exercise training that consists of aerobic exercise, resistance training, or both combined is associated with HbA(1c) reduction in patients with type 2 diabetes. Structured exercise training of more than 150 minutes per week is associated with greater HbA(1c) declines than that of 150 minutes or less per week. Physical activity advice is associated with lower HbA(1c), but only when combined with dietary advice.JAMA The Journal of the American Medical Association 05/2011; 305(17):1790-9. · 29.98 Impact Factor
Article: Exercise training in high-risk ethnic populations with type 2 diabetes: a systematic review of clinical trials.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To review clinical trials that have prescribed exercise training in high-risk, ethnic populations with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and delineate areas for future research. A systematic review using computerized databases was performed. The systematic review located nine trials, including four uncontrolled trials, and five randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that included 521 participants. Cohorts studied included African, Indian, Polynesian, Hispanic, Arabian, and Chinese peoples and interventions included aerobic training, resistance training or a combination thereof. Several trials documented improvements in HbA1c, insulin action, body composition, blood lipids and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. In general, a longer duration and greater frequency of training resulted in greater adaptation. Studies demonstrating no effect were generally limited by an inadequate intervention. There was evidence of differential training responses between Caucasians and non-Caucasians in two studies drawing such comparisons. Robust RCTs prescribing appropriate, targeted interventions and investigating relevant outcomes may be required to stimulate greater advocacy for exercise as a therapeutic adjunct for diabetes management in these populations. Investigations should be extended to other high-risk populations, particularly indigenous peoples who suffer an extreme burden of T2DM. Translation of research into clinical application should remain the overall objective.Diabetes research and clinical practice 02/2012; 97(2):206-16. · 2.74 Impact Factor
Article: Potential side effects of unhealthy lifestyle choices and health risks on Basal and reactive heart rate variability in college drinkers.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective: Emerging adults often begin making independent lifestyle choices during college, yet the association of these choices with fundamental indicators of health and adaptability is unclear. The present study examined the relationship between health risks and neurocardiac function in college drinkers. Method: Heart rate variability (HRV) was assessed at baseline and in reaction to a paced breathing challenge in 212 college drinkers (53.8% women). Basal HRV served as a general indicator of health. Reactive HRV (during paced breathing) was used as a marker of an individual's adaptability to challenge. The relationship of HRV to alcohol use, cigarette use, exercise, sleep, and body mass index (BMI) was assessed. Results: Greater alcohol use and less exercise were associated with lower basal HRV. BMI was unrelated to basal HRV but was negatively associated with reactive HRV during the breathing challenge. Conclusions: High levels of alcohol use and lack of exercise are negative correlates of cardiovascular and general health, even in apparently healthy college drinkers. The negative relationship between BMI and reactive HRV suggests that overweight individuals have reduced ability to psychophysiologically adapt to challenges; understanding the temporal course of this relationship is needed. This study highlights the importance of examining HRV at baseline and in response to a challenge to capture the active neurocardiac processes that contribute to health and adaptive responding. The suppressive effects of health risks on HRV are modifiable; thus, HRV may be useful in evaluating the health benefits of lifestyle change and in promoting change behaviors in college drinkers. (J.

Emap could spin off radio assets as sector consolidates
Thursday 06 June 2002
Emap, the media group, is believed to be considering spinning off its radio assets, which include Kiss FM, as a way of taking part in the sector consolidation kicked off by the new media ownership rules.
The move would see the creation of a pure radio entity, with its own stock market quotation, worth about £600m. As the majority of Emap's business is magazine publishing, which is a slower growth market than radio, the company's shares are much less highly rated than radio-only companies such as GWR or Capital Radio. Emap is one of the top three UK radio industry players.
Emap insists it will not sell its radio business in the merger frenzy that is already gripping the sector, after the liberalisation of media ownership laws spelt out in last month's draft Communications Bill. However, to lead consolidation, Emap will have to restructure. The company cannot manage a large cash acquisition but the rating assigned to its shares would make an all-paper radio deal difficult.
A separate listing for Emap's radio assets, headed by the business' chief executive Tim Schoonmaker, would attract a higher stock market rating, solving this problem and allowing the new entity to work out a nil-premium merger with another radio company. Emap declined to comment but City sources said a demerger of the radio business was one of the options that it was examining, though an announcement is not thought to be imminent.
Simon Mays-Smith, an analyst at JP Morgan, said: "The company agrees that if they issue equity at the current valuation, it is likely to be value destructive – similarly with raising debt."
Mr Mays-Smith said the other options for Emap include merging its radio business with another industry player to gain a significant stake in the enlarged radio group or simply swapping some assets with other operations.
Separately, a further consolidation move came last night from Guardian Media Group, which sweetened its offer for Jazz FM, in order to secure a recommendation from management and to bring on board minority shareholders – who were unhappy with the original offer. The bid was raised from 180p a share, or £41m, to 195p a share, or £44.5m.

Charlie Brooker to front BBC Two Weekly Wipe
Commentator and satirist Charlie Brooker is to take his popular BBC Four 'Wipe' format to BBC Two next year for a new weekly satire.
Weekly Wipe With Charlie Brooker - a working title - has been commissioned from Zeppotron, the production company that Brooker co-founded. BBC Two bosses have ordered a series of six 30-minute episodes, with broadcast expected early in 2013.
In the new series, Brooker will turn his unique critical eye across current affairs and media, taking in the past week of politics and news events, computer games and advertising, books, films and celebrity.
Producers say: "Each programme will include a sprinkle of studio chat, sketches, VTs and amusing archive. Charlie will be joined in the studio by a couple of celebrity guests and experts for a topical discussion with a difference."
The series will also see the return of American comic Doug Stanhope, and director Al Campbell in the guise of fake TV critic Barry Shitpeas.
The Wipe format began in 2006 as Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe, with five series on BBC Four commentating on recent television programming, and various individual aspects of the TV industry.
Screenwipe was retired in 2008, with Brooker turning his attention to news coverage in 2009 and 2010 in Newswipe With Charlie Brooker. 2009 also saw a single special - Charlie Brooker's Gameswipe - focusing on video games.
Also in 2011, Brooker presented a 6-part BBC Two series entitled How TV Ruined Your Life, exposing more of the apparent idiocies of television and the ever-widening gulf between real life and the ideal presented on the screen. The comic presenter also signed up to appear on Channel 4's live topical comedy show 10 O'Clock Live. This latter format has now run for two series and is expected to return again early in 2013.
Since 2010, there have been yearly news and media round-ups, with Charlie Brooker's 2010 Wipe, Charlie Brooker's 2011 Wipe, and the forthcoming 2012 special. Producers describe the new Christmas special as "an hour-long round-up of the events that have happened in the world of news, television, games and film over the past 12 months. From the London Olympics to the Diamond Jubilee, the US election to Hurricane Sandy, there'll be plenty to talk about."
Talking about the new series, Charlie Brooker says: "Every week we'll be looking at TV, games, 'things in the ether', the online world, and anything and everything in-between. And if we need to pad the show out a bit, we'll probably review egg whisks too."
Executive Producer Chris Sussman adds: "Charlie Brooker's 2011 Wipe was BAFTA-nominated. More has happened in 2012, so this time we'll definitely win."
Here's Charlie Brooker's 2011 Wipe, taking a look back across the whole year.

Cashew machines make a mark
The claim was made by Nguyen Thai Hoc, Chairman of the Viet Nam Cashew Association (VINACAS), at an exhibition of cashew nut processing machinery held in southern Binh Duong Province last week.
Hoc said the machines have helped reduce the problem of labour shortage faced by cashew processing factories.
Machines are now used in all phases of cashew nut processing, especially in shell cutting and peeling phases, which previously required a large number of manual workers.
Pham Van Cong, Vinacas deputy chairman, said "The cashew industry faces fierce competition from other industries in terms of attracting labourers."
Currently, most young labourers want to work for foreign invested companies, and almost all workers at local cashew processing companies are in their forties. Processing firms therefore must use machines to solve their labour shortage, he said.
Shell cutter and peeling machines helped cut about 70 per cent of labour force required in these phases, he said.
Currently, more than 50 per cent of local cashew processing factories used locally made peeling machines, Hoc said, adding that the figure was expected to reach 100 per cent in the next two-three years.
Low price is one of the main advantages of locally made machines. A factory with a daily capacity of 5,000 tonnes can save 40 per cent of its investment cost if it chooses locally made machinery over imported ones.
Apart from the price, made-in-Viet Nam machinery also scored in performance, Hoc said.
"For example, a Vietnamese shell-cutting machine that is priced one-fourth of that from Italy can cut or split shells of different sizes of cashew nuts with lower loss rates," he said.
Thanks to these advantages, Indian businesses have been ordering cashew nut processing machines from Viet Nam, he added.
Despite these advantages, Vietnamese manufacturers should focus more on improving the products' accuracy and durability, Hoc said.
According to local cashew exporters, the use of machinery in cashew processing has not only helped address the issue of labour shortage, but also increased hygiene and safety of cashew products. — VNS

Poll Preview: 68K or Bust?! Before there were candy-colored iMacs dual processor G4s, or convection-cooled cubes, Apple spent more than a decade building "68K Macs" based on the Motorola 68000 processor family. Many of these systems (ranging from the original 128K Mac through the once-mighty Quadras and several iterations of the PowerBook line) are still in use today for word processing, email, and various server duties (TidBITS Talk is served from an 11-year-old SE/30!). But the longevity of these systems owes as much to software as hardware, and these days most software is developed only for PowerPC-based systems. So this week we ask: Do you still use a 68000-based Macintosh, and if so, do you attempt to keep its software up-to-date? Vote on our home page! [GD]

Recent Gift Hill reviews
"We stayed at the Peaceful Cottages in the end of October and found it to be a wonderful experience. Our cottage was the smaller one and it was just right for the two of us. It was comfortable and we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We took advantage of the outside grill and cooked most of our own meals. It was very relaxing to sit on the porch surrounded by rain forest plants and wild life. I particularly enjoyed the night sounds of the chorus of frogs that lull you to sleep at night. We also enjoyed playing with Jackie, the sweet Jack Russell terrier. We used the four-wheel drive jeep and it was perfect for the roads there. It was no problem adjusting to driving on the left side. Trevor was able to give a lot of good advice about places to go and things to do. It was our first time being in Saint John and we would like to go back and stay there again. We highly recommend it."Guest: Thomas Date of Stay: October 2014 Review Submitted: November 14, 2014View listing
"My sister and I stayed in SeaSwan back in May for a girls getaway. The place was beautiful, and convenient to Cruz Bay, it had everything you need for a day at the beach!! Paul was so kind to help my friends that traveled with us find their Villa and make sure they did not get lost, you cant find that kind of hospitality any where else!! The views from the apartment are some of the best on the island, and great for relaxing and enjoying the sunsets. I cant say enough great things about this place,and when I plan to make a trip back to St. John, I will for sure stay at SeaSwan!!!"Guest: Sara Broussard C.

"What a wonderful vacation! We had such a great time on St. John and were beyond happy with Eleah's Garden. From the moment we arrived we felt we had arrived in paradise. One of the owners, David, greeted us at the house on our arrival to ensure that we had everything we needed. The place was IMMACULATE! The deck was amazing and we spent every morning and evening listening to the tree frogs and watching the geckos scamper. The kitchen was very well equipped and all the little things like towels, movies for the dvd player,a blender for frozen drinks and chairs for the beach were provided. Bed was super comfy and ceiling fans were more than sufficient for the occasional warm night (but with those wonderful ocean breezes it was great to just leave all the windows open!). I have stayed in many places on St. John but I have to say that this central location was my favorite place to stay. Only five minutes to town and beaches! We didn't want to leave. Every day we hiked, went to the beach and had great meals (either eating in or out). I highly recommend this rental and anxiously look forward to a LONGER stay next year!!"Guest: amanda a.

"We just got back from a week at Skyway and wish we were still there. The house was an awesome place to stay while visiting a beautiful island. We spent most days going to different beaches or taking boat trips. Skyway was our place to come back to mid-afternoon to and relax by the pool. We only went out one night for dinner as Skyway presented such a nice place for 8 of us to relax and grill out fresh fish and other foods. We spent most afternoons and evenings by the pool and hot tub enjoying what had to be the best views and sunsets on the island. No, the pictures do not do it justice. It was nice to have the snorkel gear, towels, and beach chairs so we really needed to bring nothing for the beach and boat trips. The mosquitoes were a little bad on the island since they had some rain a few weeks prior, and up on the hill at Skyway they were not bad at all with a nice light breeze much of the time. We only had one issue with a power blip at the house, and the property manager Denise took care of it with a response that only left me saying WOW! She was great to work with and gave us a great orientation with recommendations for things to do. We had 6 adults and 2 college age kids. We rented two jeeps which made going anywhere anytime very convenient. Every beach we went to was less than 30 minutes from Skyway, and Cruz Bay was just 7 minutes down the hill for shopping and restaurants. Everyone had a blast and we will definitely try and find our way back to St. John and Skyway. The island has much to offer for great beach lovers."Guest: Dan L.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Flashy Footwear
by Alanah McGinley on 06/13/08 at 11:01 AM ET
Comments (0)
From Chris Reidy at the Boston Globe:
Moth-ball those wing-tips, hockey buffs. Give those pumps and penny loafers a night off. As of now, you can purchase customized footwear that celebrates the Detroit Red Wings' recent Stanley Cup victory.
That's the good word from Reebok International Ltd., the Canton sneaker brand that is the "authentic outfitter" of the National Hockey League.
And that means customized Red Wings Stanley Cup footwear. Fortunately you can put other NHL logos on your feet, too.
Photo below:
Not bad… if you're a Wings fans.
So, in summary: we've got new shoes and the awesomeness of Wii Hockey this week.
We made end up broke, but we'll be happy.

I've been watching Futurama these past weeks. Awesome show! I want them to make more and more. And by the way, in my humble opinion, Futurama is funnier than most shows out there. Funnier than The Simpsons. Why? Well, because the story and the environment allows it to have creative episodes. Jokes that other shows can't reach. I recommend, 9/10 from me! (:

Definitely my favourite show!! The Simpsons and Family Guy are right up there, but because of the situation of Futurama - being 1,000 years in the future - any extreme story line is possible. The Simpsons can't even compete; they only get to do one obscure episode, every season - with the tree house of horror. Family Guy did have the Multiverse episode, but neither program can come even close to Futurama. One more season after this? You never know...
