text: Newt Gingrich drops White House bid The GA Voice Editors May 2, 2012 Politics Gingrich won only two primaries – Georgia and South Carolina. But it's not all sunshine and roses for Gingrich. His campaign is some $4 million in the hole, according to multiple media outlets. A quick visit to the Gingrich campaign website shows a plea for contributions. "Thank You. But we still need your support," his website reads. Presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney called Gingrich a "friend" in a Tweet following Gingrich's announcement. In the end, all there is to say is so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu Mr. Gingrich.

Florida Birding Trail site
Maritime hammocks, tidal creeks, and salt marshes attract wildlife
to this cluster of small sea islands north of the St. Johns River.
Pignut hickory, live oak, cabbage palms, and red cedar dominate the
hammocks. There are also several Timucuan Indian shell middens and
more than three miles of well-interpreted trails for groups with
Watchable wildlife:
This is a good place to watch butterflies sipping on wildflower
nectar. Common species include sulfurs, giant and black
swallowtails, fritillaries, and zebra longwings. A spring highlight
is the nesting painted buntings. Look for clapper rails, osprey,
and northern harriers in the salt marsh. Low tide brings wading
birds to feed, including wood storks, snowy and great egrets, and
great blue herons.

Title: Smarty Plants on Katy Ruellia
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:What can you tell me about Katy Ruellia? I need something with color that will take the hot southeast Texas summers and the cold/wet winters that stays decent and will flower.
ANSWER:The Katy Ruellia, Ruellia brittoniana, is an introduced species from Mexico. Other common names are Mexican petunia and Britton's petunia. It comes in a variety of flower colors--bluish purple, pink, and white. Its foliage is evergreen and it is resistant to freezing. With a hard freeze (mid-20s) the leaves will die back but return quickly. It is drought tolerant but can be agressively invasive when it receives abundant moisture. The Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council considers it a Category I invasive species which means that it is "altering native plant communities by displacing native species, changing community structures or ecological functions, or hybridizing with natives." You can read a Plant Profile for Ruellia brittoniana on the USDA Plants Database. You can also read about it on the web page for University of Arizona Pima County Cooperative Extension and at the Floridata Marketplace web page.
You might consider using instead wild petunias native to Texas. For example, Carolina wild petunia, Ruellia caroliniensis, has showy violet flowers, is a perennial and cold hardy (occurring as far north as Pennsylvania). The wild white petunia, R. metziae, has white flowers and is considered evergreen. You can see a list and read about some of the wild petunias native to Texas in the Native Plants Database on the Wildflower Center web page.

From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Um, so I just picked up a brand new, dated-this-month "Official Pokémon Magazine". Right here in Canada. It's got all this stuff about Platinum: Arceus and HGSS in it... (it claims to be the "Premiere Issue) so, like, do we have to make two articles now or what? Like, "Pokémon Official Magazine (North America)" and Pokémon Official Magazine (UK) or make the article cover both or what...? ZestyCactus 00:45, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
- Well this article states that it was revived and is sold in Europe, so I'll guess the same thing has happened with you guys in Canada. If you think that this is the same magazine in a different incarnation, expanding the current article is a good idea. I'd prefer that over having two articles. —darklordtrom 08:06, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

The method provides an estimate of the global horizontal position of a vehicle strictly based on finding a geometric match between a map of observed tree stems, scanned in 3D by Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors onboard the vehicle, to another stem map generated from the structure of tree crowns analyzed from aerial orthoimagery of the forest canopy. Identification of stems from 3D data is achieved by using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers and height above ground filters that separate ground points from vertical stem features. Identifications of stems from overhead imagery is achieved by calculating the centroids of tree crowns extracted using a watershed segmentation algorithm. Matching of the two stem maps is achieved by using a robust Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm that determines the rotation and translation required to align both datasets. The final alignment is used to calculate the absolute location of the vehicle. The localization algorithm has been tested with real-world data and has been able to estimate vehicle geoposition with errors of less than 2.1 m RMS. It is noted that the algorithm's accuracy is currently limited by the accuracy and resolution of the aerial orthoimagery used. This method can be used in real-time as a complement to the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) in areas where signal coverage is inadequate due to attenuation by the forest canopy, or due to intentional denied access. The method has two key properties that are significant: i) It does not require a priori knowledge of the area surrounding the robot. ii) Based on estimated vehicle state, it uses the geometry of detected tree stems as the only input to determine horizontal geoposition.

Although ambiguities exist, the satellite capacity planning problem also contains many clearly defined constraints. In the immediate time horizon, universal satellite capacity is fixed, as satellite launches are rare, and each incremental satellite launch only marginally increases capacity. In the world of Commercial Satellite Communications (COMSATCOM), satellites have fixed coverage areas as they are typically in geo-synchronous orbit. Other military applications such as observation and satellite phone require, low-earth orbit and medium-earth orbit satellites. The contracts used to acquire satellite capacity from the commercial sector also clearly define constraints, such as start and end date, bandwidth, price per unit bandwidth and allocated satellite system, which also implies frequency and available capacity. The paper first reviews the issues involved with planning capacity acquisition, and then presents a modeling framework for developing strategies to meet criteria and minimize cost. A simulation environment is developed for testing contracts and satellites of different parameters against varying demand distributions. A dynamic program is used to solve the integer program associated with selecting satellite capacity levels to cover demand.

(Jonathan Lawrence) A feature of many conflicts is the presence of a border that separates an area of on-going military operations from an area that the enemy can use permissively. This thesis considers analytic techniques for planning military operations designed to interdict enemy forces crossing the border. Specifically, this thesis presents optimization-based methods for scheduling patrolling units and for positioning ground sensors in support of those patrolling units. These methods could serve as the framework for a tactical-level decision support tool designed to assist military planners assigned to border regions with resource allocation recommendations and trade-off comparisons. We propose tractable mixed integer optimization formulations for these solutions based on a network model of the routes in the region, operational constraints on the abilities of the patrolling units, and estimates of enemy force movements. Additionally, we develop robust extensions to these formulations that allow the model to account for a degree of enemy intelligence by incorporating the uncertain nature of the enemy movement estimates into the formulation. We evaluate the solutions to these formulations using simulations that account for different realizations of the uncertain enemy movement. This includes cases where the realized enemy movement closely matches the estimates made in the model and cases where the realizations are very different from the model. Additionally, we provide a modified greedy heuristic to the scheduling formulation that can serve as a tool for dynamically retasking a patrol to interdict enemy forces in real-time after a sensor detects enemy movement. Current planning for these operations are conducted by a staff with no decision making analytic tools. We approximate a version of this current planning method with an algorithm and show that our method outperforms it with both the deterministic and robust formulations. We compare the deterministic and robust formulations and demonstrate a process for choosing between the formulations, along with an explanation of the utility of the robust formulation.

(Aaron Travis) As the sophistication and technology of ships increases, U.S. Navy shipbuilding must be an effective and cost-efficient acquirer of technology-dense one-of-a-kind ships all while meeting significant cost and schedule constraints in a fluctuating demand environment. A drive to provide world-class technology to the U.S. Navy's warfighters necessitates increasingly complex ships, which further augments the non-trivial problem of providing cost effective, on-schedule ships for the American taxpayer. The primary objective of this study was to quantify, assess, and analyze cost-predictive complexity-oriented benchmarks in the pre-construction phase of the U.S. Navy's ship acquisition process. This study used commercially-available software such as Mathwork's MATLAB software to analyze the numerical cost data and assess the fidelity of the predictive benchmarks to the datasets. The end result was that a consideration of complexity via the methods and algorithms established in this study supported an exponential cost versus complexity relationship to refine the current cost estimation methods and software currently in use in U.S. Navy shipbuilding. Specifically, it was found that for the subsystems under analysis, acquisition/contract cost per unit was highly correlated with unit complexity according to the relationship, cost/unit ($M,USD) = 23.100 + e 0.015C.

GridFS looks like a great idea on paper - a virtual filesystem held within MongoDB which allows for larger than 16MB files to be held, synced and replicated. It's very tempting when architecting your solutions to want to consider using GridFS. It appears to be able to take on the problem of storing many thousands or millions of files without consuming file-system resources where there are often hard limits on the number of file names. It also seems to allow for massive files to be stored without any obvious downsides.
It is important, though, to know what GridFS is under the hood. For any file being stored with GridFS, the file is chopped into 255KB chunks. Those chunks are saved in a bucket, called fs, and a collection in that bucket,
fs.chunks. Metadata about the files is stored in another collection in the same bucket,
fs.files, though you can have more buckets with different bucket names in the same database. An index makes retrieving the chunks quick. All this chunking and metadata management is not done by the MongoDB database though. It is a task performed by the client's driver which is then wrapped in a GridFS API for that driver.
When you put or retrieve a large file of size nKB, in its entirety, what is happening is the driver is retrieving all the relevant chunks, all nKB/255KB chunks, as documents, assembling them at the client end and writing them out to wherever they are needed. So a 16MB file is retrieved as 65 documents of 255K each. Consider what would happen if you did that regularly on your MongoDB database outside of GridFS; there would be severe competition for the servers RAM between those documents and the rest of the database.
The chunking with GridFS and the fact that it is done by the driver also means that large operations like replacing an entire file within GridFS are not atomic and there's no built in versioning to fall back on. This may, or may not, be a problem for some applications where files are concurrently accessible by many users or their applications. You can, though, work around this by layering on your own versioning scheme over GridFS, only making replacement files the latest version when they have completed writing.
There is an upside of to chunking though - it is remarkably cheap to access particular sections of files because they are broken up into manageable blocks during the chunking so if you need to access particular parts of large binary files, you won't be pushing the working set out of memory in the server. You can also adjust the chunk size so if your application would work better with a smaller or larger chunk, you can tune your GridFS usage by requesting a particular size of chunk. Smaller chunks would push fewer parts of the working set out of memory, larger chunks less so.
You can avoid the entire issue of contention with your working set of data by having another MongoDB server dedicated to GridFS storage and optimized towards your file storage use patterns. This also lets you focus on tuning the best performance out of your core database instance without having to look over your shoulder for the march of the GridFS files through your working set. With MongoHQ, creating a separate database instance is easier than ever and there'll be a plan to suit your needs.
If you are dealing with files less than 16MB and want to handle them as atomic entities, it is also worth considering whether you need to use GridFS at all because you can have MongoDB documents with 16MB fields. You will have to ensure that when reading the database, you only pull the large fields into memory when you need to, but this does give you the atomic replacement writes and architecturally simpler system you may desire. The down side is that access to binary ranges within the file will likely require downloading the file, modifying it and re-writing it, but it is all about balance and matching your file storage and use patterns.
So, as we said at the beginning, "it depends" if GridFS is a good fit for your application's file storage needs. There are some pitfalls which you can avoid at planning time with some estimates of what quantity of file data you want to store and how you want to access it. There are also many benefits to a MongoDB and GridFS solution, especially in terms of replication and synchronization.

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. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

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.

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...

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...

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.

Joie de Vivre to Open The Epiphany Hotel

PALO ALTO, CA—Joie de Vivre Hotels' newest property, The Epiphany Hotel, will open here early this year.
Next door to one of Facebook's first headquarters and a few blocks from Stanford University, The Epiphany Hotel is an eight-story luxury boutique hotel. Shaped by the surrounding start-up attitude, the hotel will offer meeting spaces by IDEO, smart amenities, and a friendly and casual attitude, according to the company.
"The Epiphany Hotel is tapped into Silicon Valley, inspired by the local streets and neighboring start-up businesses," stated Niki Leondakis, CEO of Commune Hotels & Resorts, Joie de Vivre's parent company. "A playful, authentic property full of imagination and aligned with the local lifestyle, The Epiphany is poised to be an emblem of the Joie de Vivre ethos."
Originally constructed in the 1970s, the building is being rebuilt from the ground up under the direction of Palo Alto-based Steinberg Architects and McCartan Interior Design, who created Joie de Vivre's Hotel Vitale in San Francisco. The new exterior of the building—paneled with perforated metal—retains the original façade's six-story-tall mosaic portrait of El Palo Alto, the thousand-year-old coastal redwood that gave the city its name.
Renovated utilizing environmental practices, the property will offer 86 guestrooms and suites, including four rooftop hospitality suites. According to the company, guestrooms and suites will be modern yet warm, providing smart, user-friendly capabilities. The suites will feature floor-to-ceiling windows, wood flooring, extra countertop space, family-style dining tables and Murphy Beds. Each room will come equipped with complimentary high-speed Internet access, a G-Link dock for streaming movies and games from any mobile device to a large-screen Samsung TV, an ergonomic desk chair, honor bar and dry bar and Illy espresso maker. Guestrooms and suites also will be furnished with artisan amenities, including Malin + Goetz toiletries, Frette linens, Turkish towels and bathrobes and Sausalito-based Fred water presented in flask-shaped bottles that can be refilled in the hotel lobby.
The hotel also will offer an 80-seat indoor/outdoor restaurant and bar that will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Room service will be available to guests around the clock from the restaurant.

For the past few years, the talk of The Lodging Conference in Phoenix had been focused on the economic recovery, solid industry projections and "cautious optimism." With the word cautious no longer necessary, the economic outlook took a backseat this year to the seemingly unending parade of new lifestyle brands.

Ok, I did some searching in the forums but wasn't able to find the anwser I'm looking for.
My tap water has chloramines and I have read that Campden tablets can get rid of that. So off to the LHBS I went, and when I arrived they had two types. (KMS) Potassium metabisuplhite and (SMS) sodium metabisulphite. Since brew day is tomorrow I grabbed both just to make sure I had what I needed.
First question, whats the difference?
Second, both state 1 tablet=150ppm Total SO2/gal. Actual FREE SO2 is pH dependent. So if I want to get rid of chlorimine in my water how many tablets should I used for 10-14gal of water?
Third, does using these remove anything else from the water? I normally only use 5.2 in my strike & sparge water and I want to make sure that if this stuff is removing other beneficial things from my water that I add it back.
Checked the Mr Wizard link, and he says:In easy to use terms, a 1/2-ounce Campden tablet can be used to dechlorinate 20 gallons of water.
This can't be right, can it? I bought 1 oz of KMS tabs at my LHBS; they're labelled "75 ppm" (so there are apparently multiple sizes available) and there are 50 of them in the package. A half ounce would be 25 tablets.
Mr wizard must mean (and it looks like you interpreted it this way too) that half a tablet (not half an ounce) will treat 20 gallons. But which size tabs is he talking about?
I don't think there are multiple sizes available- just "campden tablets". It's a premeasured amount of sulfite that I use mainly for wine. I can't imagine there were be different amounts- the recipes for wine are always "1 campden tablet per gallon".
Potassium Metabisuplhite is the one commonly described as campton tablet and is the best to use as you don't add as much sodium to your brew using it.
I agree that campton is one size and I use 1 tablet to treat 2 full brews worth of water.
How do you BBQ an elephant....first you get your elephant....
Campden tabs are produced as tablets so you can measure the small quantities involved without having to use scales calibrated for tiny measures.
Here's a good PDF document produced by the Craft Brewers Association addressing the use of Campden Tablets.http://www.craftbrewing.org.uk/bcpdf/BC0-1_Water.pdf
These are the ones I use:http://www.eckraus.com/index.php?sto...temsperpage=10
And to get even stranger, even though the tablets have a preset amount of so2, some is "free so2" and disappates quickly, so only 67 ppm actually is usable according to one website I read. And I also buy it in powdered form instead of tablet form, if I"m making a large quantity of wine:http://www.eckraus.com/PS150.html
This imparts 55 ppm per 1/16th tsp per gallon. So, there are the ones I use.
I read somewhere that because of its oxygen/free radical scavenging ability that adding KMS to the mash water/liquor can prevent downstream problems that can occur with stale tasting compounds like trans 2-nonenal.
Just one more reason to treat your water
I use 1/2 a tab for 10 gallons of water. I think the package of 50 tablets is 1 ounce. I have not noticed a stale taste. Not sure what mine are made of they just say Campden tabs on the bag.
