When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...

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.

The air up there: Houston's air quality is under federal fire
Send this to a friend

- Reporter- Houston Business Journal

In recent years, Houston has been lauded for its great restaurants, strong economy and booming cultural scene. But there's one thing that still resonates with every chemical company, refinery, environmental activist and air quality regulator: Air quality continues to be a major issue.
Even though Houston's air quality has seen dramatic improvement in the past 10 years, Houston is not in compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency's eight-hour ozone standard, which is measured by ozone monitors that are placed throughout the city. What's worse, the EPA is expected to release a new, tighter standard — one that Houston certainly won't meet.
The EPA takes an area's fourth-highest daily ozone reading of an eight-hour concentration per year and then averages this statistic for the last three years. If the measurement of ozone in the air is greater than 75 parts of ozone per 1 billion parts of air, the area doesn't meet the standard.
Houston is working its its way toward meeting the current standard of 75 parts per billion (ppb), which was established in 2008.
Technically, the EPA was scheduled to submit a new standard in 2013, but the decision has been delayed. Although the standard is still up for debate, many experts believe it will be 70 ppb.
There are different ways Houston can meet this standard. For example, the state could put automotive requirements in place stating that cars must have the technology for fewer emissions. But, most likely, to meet the standard, the state will also have to change regulations for Houston's manufacturing, chemical and refining companies. These companies are not only large producers of emissions, but they are easier to regulate than millions of individual cars.

TGS secures mega project for Indonesian frontier basins
Projects and Operations - January 4, 2007
TGS-NOPEC Geophysical Company has announced that it has commenced acquisition of a series of non-exclusive geoscientific surveys to be conducted over Indonesia's under-explored
frontier basins.
The project is undertaken in cooperation with the Directorate General of Oil and Gas (MIGAS). MIGAS, a subdivision of the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, is responsible for all aspects of the Indonesian petroleum
The surveys will acquire a variety of data to conduct a comprehensive prospectivity analysis over an area of around one million square kilometers. The studies, involving some 16 sedimentary basins, will include:
- 33,000 kilometers new 2D seismic data
- 419,000 square kilometers of Multibeam
SeaSeep, gravity and magnetic data
- 1,500 sediment cores
- 4,500 geochemical analyses
- 250 heat flow probes
All operations will be managed by TGS, with interpretation of the data carried out by an expert team of geoscientists with extensive knowledge of Indonesian basins and a proven record of exploration success in the region.
The project is designed to couple innovative, new technologies with proven geologic concepts.
The gravity and magnetic data will provide valuable information on the tectonic fabric and basement architecture in the basin while the seismic data will provide more detailed structural mapping capabilities. The Mutibeam SeaSeep data will provide a high-resolution view of seafloor topography and will be used to
detect hydrocarbon seeps on the seafloor. The sediment cores, geochemical analyses, and heat probe tests will all be used to evaluate the commercial viability of petroleum systems within
the frontier basins. The complete, integrated data package will be marketed to the exploration industry.
"The geology and petroleum potential of Indonesia`s frontier basins are not well understood by industry, with large areas written off with little or no data," said Paul Gilleran, TGS' General Manager for Asia-Pacific. "Modern, integrated data can help open these frontier basins to new, 'clever' exploration."

VIDEO: Jennifer Love Hewitt & More in Trailer for Film Adaptation of Off-Broadway's JEWTOPIA
A new trailer for JEWTOPIA,based on the Off-Broadway hit, has just debuted. The story focuses on two friends, Adam Lipschitz (Joel David Moore) and his non-Jewish friend Christian (Ivan Sergei), both approaching their 30th birthdays. Gentile Chris is interested in dating a Jewish woman (Jennifer Love Hewitt) because he feels that she will make his life easier by making all of life's decisions for him. Adam wants to date Gentile women because he does not want to be reminded of his roots. The two team up and teach each other how to woo the women of their choice. Check it out below!
Complicating things are their well-meaning but intervening family and friends, played by an all-star cast including Rita Wilson, Tom Arnold, Jon Lovitz, Peter Stormare, Camryn Manheim, and Wendie Malick.
Commented the film's director Bryan Fogel, who also co-wrote the screenplay and the original stage play with Sam Wolfson, "Almost every person that I envisioned for these roles is actually playing the part in the film. We went to Rita Wilson first. She said 'I think this film has the potential to be a new [My Big Fat] Greek Wedding' In that film, you didn't have to be Greek to think, 'That's my family'. Jewtopia is universal like that, too."

Report: Washington transfer Desmond Simmons headed to St. Mary's
May 1, 2014, 2:09 PM EST
Washington transfer Desmond Simmons will be headed to St. Mary's next season, according to a report from CBSSports.com.
Simmons averaged 5.2 points and 4.6 boards as a junior. He will be eligible for the Gaels immediately, which is terrific news for Randy Bennett's club. They already added Stanford transfer Aaron Bright, who will start at lead guard in place of Stephen Holt, and return all-WCC big man Brad Waldow.
Simmons won't replace Beau Levesque, but the size that he will bring inside will allow the Gaels to matchup that much better with a Gonzaga team that will have a pair of seven-footers on their front line.

The dark side of the money men
Little has changed since Vincente Minnelli's tale of a brutal producer
Geoffrey Macnab
Geoffrey Macnab is the author of several books on film
Friday 06 April 2012
If anyone has any doubt that movie producers are ruthless, eccentric and power-crazed, all they need to do is watch films in which producers are portrayed. When Hollywood holds up a mirror to itself, what is revealed is often very ugly indeed...and yet the producers are also often the visionaries.
Vincente Minnelli's The Bad and the Beautiful (1952), which is re-released later this month, captures perfectly the deep ambivalence that directors, writers and actors feel about producers. Nobody knows quite what they do, everyone resents their power... but films can't be made without them. They (Minnelli's film suggests) are the alchemists: the ones who not only pull the money together but identify the talent. They don't necessarily get the credit. The public may not know their names. They may not be creative themselves but they enable others to be creative. Without them, even the very best ideas would have struggled to get off the page. That's the upside. The downside (movies like The Bad and the Beautiful would have us believe) is their absolute lack of scruple.
"All that he [Minnelli] loved and hated about Hollywood was distilled in the harsh story of The Bad and the Beautiful," Martin Scorsese said.
Minnelli accepted that the producer-director relationship was (as Scorsese puts it) "crucial to the quality and success of a picture." At the same time, he knew just how bruising that relationship could be.
The Bad and the Beautiful is a case study in betrayal, but one with an ironic perspective on the subject. Cynicism and idealism sit by side. The lead character, Jonathan Shields (Kirk Douglas), stabs all his friends in the back one by one and they detest him for it. The producer lets down everyone close to him: the director (Barry Sullivan) who worked with him on his first B movies, the actress (Lana Turner) who dotes on him, and the writer (Dick Powell) he prises out of academia to work on his scripts.
Shields is a composite character, combining elements from many leading producers of the era. He is a control freak like David O Selznick, a charmer like MGM's "boy wonder" Irving Thalberg and an endlessly cunning and resourceful pragmatist like B-movie master Val Lewton. The paradox, evident from the very start of the film, is that his old collaborators – all so bitter about the way he has treated him – owe their careers to him. Nor is it as if he achieves huge wealth of his own at their expense. Like so many producers, he is a quixotic figure, always dreaming up new schemes and gambling on new movies. He can pinpoint exactly why a film works, but when he turns director himself, the result is a disaster.
"You know, Fred, when I work on a picture, it's like romancing a girl. You see her, you want her, you go after her. It's a big moment. Then the let-down. Every time, every picture – the after-picture blues!" Shields laments. He starts and ends the movie impoverished. The one thing he doesn't lose is his joy in making films: a joy in pursuit of which he is ready to sacrifice everything and everyone. Despite its downbeat subject matter, The Bad and the Beautiful is exhilarating. Douglas plays the producer with such zest and Minnelli's direction is so wildly energetic that the multiple betrayals and disappointments hardly register.
Eliza Kazan's final feature, The Last Tycoon (1976), adapted from F Scott Fitzgerald's last (uncompleted) novel, which was in its turn inspired by the life of Irving Thalberg, is in a very different register. Robert De Niro's Monroe Stahr, the young studio chief, is a far more introspective figure than Kirk Douglas's Jonathan Shields. This is another of De Niro's exercises in screen metamorphosis. As Kazan later put it, the ebullient New York Italian method actor had to transform himself into "a thin, somewhat sickly Jew with erudition and culture." Stahr as played by De Niro is the eminence grise: the one-time messenger boy who sits in his office or in screening rooms deciding how and why each film should be made. He is an aloof and cerebral figure who exercises his power quietly. What he shares with Shields is his ruthlessness. His voice remains soft and monotone as he sacks directors or takes writers off pictures. When they complain, he tells them it's "the system". What he doesn't explain is that he is the one who drew up the system.
The Last Tycoon is certainly very different from the swirling melodramas that the real Thalberg produced at MGM. De Niro's Stahr – obsessed with a woman who reminds him of his dead wife – is a romantic lead of sorts but without the dash of the actors in the films he makes. The Last Tycoon was produced by Sam Spiegel, one of the most flamboyant and colourful figures in Hollywood history, but it has little of the zest or vulgarity that Spiegel's own story would have demanded.
The muted portrayal of the producer in The Last Tycoon notwithstanding, it curious how persistent the stereotype of the film producer as a cigar-chomping magnate remains. That is precisely how John Goodman's character Al Zimmer in The Artist comes across as he decides that silent star George Valentin is past his sell-by date and that the public needs "fresh meat".
For all their seeming power, producers themselves are as dependent on success as anyone else in the food chain. They answer to the studio bosses, who in turn are in thrall to the studio owners. The owners, meanwhile, are almost certainly in hock to the banks. This means that almost every producer's career ends in failure sooner or later.
The plight of European producers is very different from that of their US counterparts. They're never sure whether box-office or artistic approval matters the most.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Clancy franchise takes youthful but solid turn with Pine as Jack Ryan
Befitting a spy thriller, one comes to the rebooted Tom Clancy hero Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit with suspicions a-tingle, exacerbated by the casting of Chris Pine as the celebrated CIA analyst.
Pine, 33, was already cast as Capt. James Tiberius Kirk in the rebooted Star Trek franchise to bring youth and sexy vigour to one of science fiction's grand old men. It appears Paramount didn't even venture outside their own studio gates to find a new Ryan.
Another problem: the Ryan character was already rebooted in the 2002 movie The Sum of All Fears with Ben Affleck in the role. While the movie was a modest box office success, well, let's just say the Affleck iteration didn't take.
Scripted by Adam Cozad and David Koepp and directed by Kenneth Branagh, Shadow Recruit is the first of the Ryan films not based on a Clancy novel and offers a more holistic reboot. Pine's Ryan is a student at the London School of Economics when the terrorist attacks of 2001 compel him to join the Marines and fight for his country. Instead of receiving injuries in Vietnam, a la Clancy, his helicopter is shot down over Afghanistan.
During his rehab, he not only meets his future wife Cathy (Keira Knightley), he is recruited by CIA handler Thomas Harper (Kevin Costner) with a new mission in Ryan's economics bailiwick: Go to work on Wall Street and seek out big-money transactions that might be linked to terrorist organizations. (Presumably, he isn't given the broader task of detecting criminal activity, which would be like being parachuted into Nebraska to look for corn.)
He uncovers a serious impending transaction tied to ruthless Russian oligarch Viktor Cherevin (played by director Branagh with a combination of vanity and chilly brutality worthy of Vladimir Putin). The plot would only work, Ryan surmises, if it is tied to a domestic terrorist attack. So, at Harper's insistence, Ryan is sent to Moscow to investigate further, only to find that the "desk job" of auditing corporate books involves fighting off assassins. "You're not just an analyst anymore," Harper tells him as he hands Ryan a gun. "You're operational now."
Adding to Ryan's problems: Cathy shows up at his Moscow hotel with the intention of enjoying an exotic Russian getaway.
A January release for an expensive studio movie is usually a sign of trouble, but Shadow Recruit turns out to be a wholly satisfactory Ryan outing, especially compared to the franchise fumble The Sum of All Fears. The story is a solid espionage tale, handsomely mounted. (Note how Andrew Laws' dark, cold, elegant production design is perfectly synched to Branagh's character in the Moscow scenes.) If Pine can't deliver a tone of world-weary gravitas, Costner (one of the original choices to play Jack Ryan in The Hunt for Red October) compensates in that department. His Thomas Harper is a more fully developed CIA mentor than was seen in any of the previous Jack Ryan films, carrying the full, tragic weight of his CIA past.
In the past, Branagh's expertise was best displayed in his Shakespearean films, but in this contemporary arena, the man pulls off his double duty in style. The scene in which he shares dinner with Knightley's Cathy (pressed into service as Jack's mission mate) is a little gem of seduction with an undercurrent of malice.
And isn't that what spy movies should be all about?

About Randall King
In a way, Randall King was born into the entertainment beat.
His dad was Winnipeg musician Jimmy King, a one-time columnist for the Winnipeg Free Press. One of his brothers is a playwright. Another is a singer-songwriter.
Randall has been content to cover the entertainment beat in one capacity or another since 1990.
His beat is film, and the job has placed him in the same room as diverse talents, from Martin Scorsese to Martin Short, from Julie Christie to Julia Styles. He has met three James Bonds (four if you count Woody Allen), and director Russ Meyer once told him: "I like your style."
He really likes his job.

Steven Gerrard predicts bright England future for Liverpool team-mate Raheem Sterling
Monday 10 September 2012
Steven Gerrard predicts bright England future for Liverpool team-mate Raheem Sterling
However, England skipper Gerrard does not want too much pressure to be placed on the 17-year-old's shoulders so that he can be allowed to develop as a player.
Sterling is unlikely to feature against Ukraine after being called up along with Southampton captain Adam Lallana and Tottenham midfielder Jake Livermore.
The trio are there as cover in case England suffer any more withdrawals after Theo Walcott was ruled out through illness and Daniel Sturridge is laid low with stomach cramps.
But Gerrard has no doubts that his Reds team-mate will eventually step up on to the international stage as a fully fledged international.
Gerrard said: "He is a fantastic talent, one of the shining lights at our club this year, even though results haven't been good enough.
"It is great for him to be called up and get a feel for the senior group because it won't be too long before he becomes a regular in this group. He is that good.
"He is a mature 17 year old. There is nothing flash about him at all. He is a quiet kid. He works hard and listens and that is the key when you are that age and a good player.
"If you can listen and take advice from good managers and players, you will keep on progressing and improving.
"He is a breath of fresh air, especially for the older lads, with the pace and excitement he brings. He is a nightmare to mark for defenders."
But Gerrard also stressed: "Let's be patient with him. Let's not force it and expect too much too soon.
"Let it happen naturally and in time we will have a fantastic player for Liverpool and England.
"Of course, a lot more people follow the game, social media, and the impact of the Premier League is world wide. The expectations are high with young kids.
"It is different for the young lads now, there is a lot more pressure on them. It's important the people around them support them and give them the back-up they need.
"Just because you break into an England squad, or played a handful of games for your club, it doesn't mean you are the finished article.
"There is still so much improving and learning for these guys to do."
Livermore made his England debut against Italy in Berne last month but it is the first call-up for Sterling and Lallana.
England head coach Roy Hodgson said: "Their early performances for Southampton and Liverpool this year have been very impressive.
"Lallana is a player I've known about and watched even when Southampton were in the Championship because, as a club coach, he has been on the radar of players to watch and possibly attempt to buy.
"It is good he has confirmed what we have already thought, that he is a talent.
"With Raheem, in the past two years he has come on leaps and bounds and in the opening matches he has played this season, the reports on him have been very good.
"I shall make it clear to him that I am not bringing him with a view to necessarily playing him now.
"I'm bringing in more because there might be a time in the future when not only does he feature as a substitute, he might even be breaking his way into the team."
Gerrard knows England will have to be on top of their game against Ukraine as they look to follow up the 5-0 win in Moldova on Friday with another victory.
He concedes England were fortunate to win the Euro 2012 clash between the two countries in Donetsk.
Gerrard said: "We need to build on the Moldova game, try and improve and keep learning. The performance was positive on Friday but tomorrow will be a bigger test.
"They are a group of players who have played together for a long time. Technically they are very good. If you stand-off these players, they can hurt you.
"There were times in the Euros when we gave them too much respect and stood off them and they had a few dangerous opportunities to score.
"Over the 90 minutes they could feel hard done by not to have got at least a point.
"But we won the game, did what we needed to do, and hopefully we can get the same outcome tomorrow."
Gerrard will win his 98th cap tomorrow tonight and could now reach the 100 mark against San Marino next month in the same match as Ashley Cole, who is currently side-lined with an ankle injury.
He said: "That would be a nice touch for both of us. But the important focus is to get to the World Cup.
"Individual achievements are always nice along the way but I'm more interested in the points tomorrow night."

Michael Waltrip admits what few will publicly: Talladega Nights is great
May 3, 2013, 12:30 PM EST
Michael Waltrip serves many roles in the NASCAR community: broadcaster, team owner, and this week, restrictor-plate driving specialist at Talladega.
He also admits "Talladega Nights" – the Will Ferrell NASCAR comedy from 2006 – is the best racing-related movie he's seen.
"No doubt," he told USA Today Sports' Jeff Gluck. "To me, all the rest of them don't capture what it's all about. 'Talladega Nights' wasn't trying to do that – it was just a comedy that's hilarious, based on NASCAR. If you can't laugh at yourself, then I think you've probably got some issues. I love laughing at myself and I love that movie."
"Talladega Nights" made an actual on-track appearance in last year's spring Talladega race. Kurt Busch and Phoenix Racing were able to run a livery similar to how Ferrell, or Ricky Bobby's, appeared at the end of the movie.
Waltrip's driving schedule has been reduced to just Daytona and Talladega, but that's just as well given his other commitments. He still considers himself "great" at those two tracks – where he took all four career wins (three Daytona, one Talladega) – and merely "good" everywhere else.
This week, he'll drive an Alabama Crimson Tide paint scheme on his No. 55 Aaron's Toyota. Mark Martin has the week off, and Brian Vickers will be on standby for Denny Hamlin after Hamlin starts the race.
Waltrip has also dabbled in sports car racing with Michael Waltrip Racing co-owner and business partner Rob Kauffman. Waltrip raced in the 2011 24 Hours of Le Mans, and finished in the top 10 of the GT class in a Ferrari 458 at this year's Rolex 24 at Daytona.

Weak yen propels Nikkei to longest run of weekly gains since 1959
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei average marked its 12th straight week of gains, its longest winning streak in 54 years, as investors bought companies that sparkled during the earnings season and stayed optimistic that a weak yen would boost bottom lines.
The Nikkei .N225, which reached 11,237.84 during Friday's session, ended 0.5 percent up at a 33-month closing high of 11,191.34. The index gained 2.4 percent this week, giving it the longest run of weekly gains since 1959.
Sharp Corp (6753.T) gained 5.8 percent after media reports said the company would post its first operating profit in five quarters in the three months through December on strong sales of home appliances and mobile phones.
After the bell, Sharp reported it logged an operating profit of 2.6 billion yen for the last three months of 2012.
For the overall market, "earnings haven't been great so far, but everyone had very low expectations of the last quarter, partly because the yen only weakened at the very end of it," said Hirokazu Fujiki, manager of investment at Okasan Securities.
"But sentiment is extremely strong at the moment. The Nikkei has broken out of the box market it was stuck in for a lot of January and is on its second wind. I can see that continuing until March, but then people might do a reality check and see if the economy is actually improving," he said.
The Nikkei has rallied 29 percent since mid-November, when Shinzo Abe, then a candidate for leader of the opposition and now prime minister, started calling for aggressive monetary policy and fiscal expansion, an economy policy now known as "Abenomics".
Expectations that Abe could pull Japan out of deflation and reinvigorate its economy have driven the yen down 10 percent against the dollar, boosting exporters. A weaker yen translates to higher revenue when overseas sales are repatriated. On Friday, the yen hit a 32-month low of 92.2 versus the dollar.
Financials and real estate, which could benefit from Abe's reflationary policies, have nearly caught up with rises in exporters.
While the auto sector has gained 47 percent since mid-November, banking .IBNKS.T has added 40 percent and real estate has advanced 31 percent in the same period.
Nomura Holdings Inc (8604.T)'s 12.8 percent increase in operating profit for the October-December quarter disappointed some investors hoping for larger gains from the Nikkei rally. Nomura shares fell 2.7 percent on Friday.
Shun Maruyama, chief Japan equity strategist at BNP Paribas, said that investors who added exporters to their portfolios as the yen weakened have started to shift to sectors sensitive to the domestic economy.
"They are looking for a mid-to-long term theme in Japanese shares as the yen's sharp weakness will not last forever. People are counting on stocks which are expected to fare well if the country is out of deflation," he added.
The third-largest mobile carrier, Softbank Corp (9984.T), jumped 5.7 percent after posting a 23.7 percent rise in operating profit in the latest quarter, thanks to strong iPhone subscriptions. Softbank said it was on track to hit its annual operating profit target of 700 billion yen this financial year.
Japan Tobacco Inc (2914.T) bucked the trend in firms with high overseas exposure, booking an operating profit increase of 13.2 percent for the nine months ended December 14, after expanding its market share in Europe and maintaining sales despite the downturn in the region.
Its share price jumped 4 percent after the company maintained its operating profit forecast for the year ending March 31 at 511 billion yen, which would be 11.3 percent above the previous year.
Japanese companies have reported lacklustre earnings for the October-December period: Of the 54 Nikkei companies that announced quarterly results by Thursday, nearly two-thirds had missed market expectations, according to Thomson Reuters StarMine. That compared with 56 percent in the previous three months.
But market observers said that investor focus is on forecasts for the full current year as well as the year ending March 2014 - if companies have a strong outlook for the foreseeable future, the market will likely dismiss poor quarterly results.
The broader Topix added 0.3 percent to 942.65 in active trade, with 3.69 billion shares changing hands. Between January 21-25, the average daily volume was 3.44 billion shares.

Tree Fu Tom Magazine Launched In UK
Immediate Media are have launched a monthly Tree Fu Tom magazine to compliment the popular CBeebies TV show.
Like the programme, the magazine is aimed at children aged 3-5 years, and promotes development through physical movement.
Immediate Media kindly sent a copy for Son#2 to read and play with. He is aged 6 years, and has dyspraxia, and he really enjoyed the activities. I appreciated the wind up toy that came with the magazine, which helps promote fine motor skills, and the crayons as colouring-in supports the development of pen control.
There's a new edition of the Tree Fu Tom magazine each month, priced at £2.50.

For Anchor man Woodruff and Vogt.
My prayers are with you both and your families as you go thru this difficult time, but know that the Lord is there helping you cope through your pain and suffering. God bless you both
My prayers also go out to all of our military personnel in Iraq and their families. I pray that soon
all of our soldiers will be coming home and proud that
they went to fight for our country.It breaks my heart that we have to lose one of our brave men and know the
stress the families must be going thru also.
GOD BLESS AMERICA and each of you.
May you have a healthy and speedy return to health. Praying for you..........February 01 2006 at 11:23 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
