New York newspaper removes handgun permit holder dataBy JIM FITZGERALD
THE Associated Press | January 20,2013WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. A suburban New York newspaper that outraged gun owners by posting the names and addresses of residents with handgun permits removed the information from its website Friday.
The Journal News took down the data just three days after the state enacted a gun control law that included privacy provisions for permit holders.
The provisions were a reaction to interactive maps the newspaper published on LoHud.com that pinpointed thousands of permit holders in Westchester and Rockland counties.
Gun rights activists had immediately complained that permit owners privacy was being violated. They said the map could guide burglars to their homes while police groups claimed the map could lead ex-convicts to the officers who had put them away.
The addresses of some Journal News staffers were posted online, and threats were called in to the newspapers offices. The newspaper hired armed guards in response.
Janet Hasson, president and publisher of The Journal News Media Group, said in an emailed statement, While the new law does not require us to remove the data, we believe that doing so complies with its spirit.
She said the maps had been viewed nearly 1.2 million times since they were published Dec. 23. The newspaper sought the records under the state Freedom of Information Law after the Dec. 14 elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn., where a gunman who had killed his mother at home killed 20 first-graders and six educators and then committed suicide.
The maps remained online late Friday but could no longer be manipulated to find names and addresses.
State Sen. Greg Ball, the most vocal opponent of the posting, said, Thank God The Journal News has finally realized the error in their judgment and done the right thing. ... I am proud to have passed legislation keeping The Journal News from doing this ever again.
On Tuesday, as part of a gun control bill, the state Legislature passed and Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed new regulations that give permit holders several ways to opt out of the public record.
Applicants can ask to be exempted because they are police officers or served on criminal-case juries or are victims of domestic violence. They also can just say they might be subjected to harassment.
Hasson said Friday, One of our core missions as a newspaper is to empower our readers with as much information as possible on the critical issues they face, and guns have certainly become a top issue since the massacre in nearby Newtown, Conn.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER New management plans for a vast section of Vermonts remote Northeast Kingdom an...

In the past 10 years, the ability to decode or "sequence" DNA has grown by a million-fold, a stunning rate of progress that is producing a flood of information about human biology and disease. Because of these advances, the scientific community — and the world as a whole — stands on the verge of a revolution in biology. In the coming decades scientists will be able to understand how cells are "wired" and how that wiring is disrupted in human diseases ranging from diabetes to cancer to schizophrenia. Now, with his free online course, 7.00x Introductory Biology: The Secret of Life, genome pioneer Eric Lander, the founding director of the Broad Institute and a professor at MIT and Harvard Medical School, will explain to students around the world the basics of biology – the secret of life, so to speak – so that they can understand today's revolution in biology.
EdX, the not-for-profit online learning initiative founded by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), brings the best courses from the best faculty at the best institutions to anyone with an Internet connection. For the past 20 years, legendary teacher Lander has taught Introductory Biology to more than half of all MIT students. He has now adapted his course for online education, creating the newest course on the edX platform. The course, 7.00X, is now open for enrollment, with the first class slated for March 5th. This course will include innovative technology including a 3D molecule viewer and gene explorer tool to transform the learning experience. It is open to all levels and types of learners.
"Introducing the freshman class of MIT to the basics of biology is exhilarating," said Lander. "Now, with this edX course, I look forward to teaching people around the world. There are no prerequisites for this course – other than curiosity and an interest in understanding some of the greatest scientific challenges of our time."
Those taking the course will learn the fundamental ideas that underlie modern biology and medicine, including genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, recombinant DNA, genomics and genomic medicine. They will become familiar with the structure and function of macromolecules such as DNA, RNA and proteins and understand how information flows within cells. Students will explore how mutations affect biological function and cause human disease. They will learn about modern molecular biological techniques and their wide-ranging impact.
"Eric Lander has created this remarkable digitally enhanced introduction to genetics and biology," said Anant Agarwal, President of edX. "With this unique online version, he has brought the introductory biology course to a new level. It has been completely rethought and retooled, incorporating cutting-edge online interactive tools as well as community-building contests and milestone-based prizes."
With online courses through edX like 7.00x, what matters isn't what people have achieved or their transcripts, but their desire to learn. Students only need to come with a real interest in science and the desire to understand what's going on at the forefront of biology, and to learn the fundamental principles on which an amazing biomedical revolution is based – from one of the top scientist in the world. 7.00x Introductory Biology: The Secret of Life is now available for enrollment. Classes will start on March 4, 2013.
Dr. Eric Lander is President and Founding Director of the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, a new kind of collaborative biomedical research institution focused on genomic medicine. Dr. Lander is also Professor of Biology at MIT and Professor of Systems Biology at the Harvard Medical School. In addition, Dr. Lander serves as Co-Chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, which advises the White House on science and technology. A geneticist, molecular biologist and mathematician, Dr. Lander has played a pioneering role in all aspects of the reading, understanding and medical application of the human genome. He was a principal leader of the international Human Genome Project (HGP) from 1990-2003, with his group being the largest contributor to the mapping and sequencing of the human genetic blueprint. Dr. Lander was an early pioneer in the free availability of genomic tools and information. Finally, he has mentored an extraordinary cadre of young scientists who have become the next generation of leaders in medical genomics. The recipient of numerous awards and honorary degrees, Dr. Lander was elected a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in 1997 and of the U.S. Institute of Medicine in 1999.
Previously announced new 2013 courses include: 8.02x Electricity and Magnetism from Walter Lewin; Justice from Michael Sandel; Introduction to Statistics from Ani Adhikari; The Challenges of Global Poverty from Esther Duflo; The Ancient Greek Hero from Gregory Nagy; Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Computation from Umesh Vazirani; Human Health and Global Environmental Change, from Aaron Bernstein and Jack Spengler.
In addition to these new courses, edX is bringing back several courses from the popular fall 2012 semester: Introduction to Computer Science and Programming; Introduction to Solid State Chemistry; Introduction to Artificial Intelligence; Software as a Service I; Software as a Service II; Foundations of Computer Graphics.

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.

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...

Tim Hortons upsizes daily java jolt
Tim Hortons customers in Sudbury and Kingston discover the 8-oz. coffee is history — for now.

Share via Email
The caffeine jitters began before the first sip for some customers at Tim Hortons stores in Kingston and Sudbury on Monday morning.
Coffee lovers ordering their usual medium double-double were given a large-size cup. Large grew into extra-large. And people looking for the workboot kick of the once-20- oz. (591 mL) extra-large instead received 24 oz. (710 mL) of steaming java.
For the next month, residents of these two Ontario cities will be the Canadian test market for the upsized brews.
The former small cuppa — 8 oz. (210 mL) — is history, as is its price point. The cheapest hot Tim's coffee in the two test towns is now a 10 oz. (296 mL) cup, for $1.33: the price of last week's medium.
This was enough to create a stir during the morning rush at some locations.
As one reader of the Sudbury Star posted on the newspaper's website, "It was hilarious watching the mass confusion at the Timmies in the Valley. Guess the signs and explanation from the staff weren't enough for people."
Because a change to the morning routine can easily ruffle feathers, Tim's stores carrying the upsized coffees now sport a large poster explaining the new sizes. Included in the information is a toll-free customer service number to call in case of confusion.
Company spokesman Nick Javor said the upsize servings are meant "to test consumer preferences and that the trend we have seen has been to larger sizes."
Javor denied the move is an attempt to match Canadian offerings with those at Tim Horton's outlets in the United States, which sell coffee only in the larger sizes.
In the U.S., Starbucks recently unveiled a 30-oz. "Trenta" hot beverage, upping the ante further. Neither Macdonald's nor Tim Hortons has followed suit.
Size issues aside, the larger brews bump up the amount of caffeine consumed. The old 8-oz. coffee contained 80 mg of caffeine, according to information supplied by Tim Hortons. The upsize small contains 100 mg of java jolt.
Javor said the new 24-oz. brew contains 340 mg of the stimulant.
This should give coffee lovers pause before they go for an extra shot of joe later in the day: Health Canada recommends a healthy adult not consume more than 400 mg of caffeine daily, or 300 mg in the case of pregnant women.

This was an unexpectedly nice hotel - the best I've seen of this type. We only wanted a comfortable, clean place for the night - which we definitely got - but families with kids would especially enjoy this spacious setup. The young front desk staff were friendly and helpful.

|Dolphins GM Randy Mueller signs contract extension
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 27 June 2007 13:16
Mueller's initial contract was three years for $2.1 million and ran through June 2008. Salary details of the new deal were not disclosed.
``I'm excited to be able to continue in my role with an organization that has such a great tradition,'' Mueller said. ``I want to thank (owner H. Wayne) Huizenga and Bryan Wiedmeier for making this happen, and feel that with the people we have in place, we have the opportunity to achieve a great deal of success here.''
Mueller, who joined the Dolphins as general manager in June 2005, has seen the team slide in recent years. Miami went 6-10 last season and missed the playoffs for the fifth straight year.
``Randy is one of the most respected general managers in the NFL, and we value the work that he has done here the past two years,'' Dolphins president Bryan Wiedmeier said. ``We believe that with this extension, coupled with the addition of Cam Cameron as head coach, our franchise is headed in the right direction.''
Mueller also had stints with the Seattle Seahawks (1983-1999) and the New Orleans Saints (2000-2001). With the Saints, he was the team's general manager of football operations.
The Dolphins also signed free agent safety Chris Harrell on Wednesday.

Comment: Elon Musk on "Process" (Score 2) 180
This is a quote from Elon Musk on what he thinks about "process":
"I don't believe in process. In fact, when I interview a potential employee and he or she says that 'it's all about the process,' I see that as a bad sign.
"The problem is that at a lot of big companies, process becomes a substitute for thinking. You're encouraged to behave like a little gear in a complex machine. Frankly, it allows you to keep people who aren't that smart, who aren't that creative."
This just about nails it for me.

I I T T A L A __________ annaleena + kuukuna
When I was asked to show Iitalas new lamp kuukuna at my blog, I didn't hesitate. Partly because I grew up with Finnish design and the strong clean expression that Iitala represents, but also because Kuukuna lamp is as if created especially for my home and my style. I love the round organic form and the fact that it is handmade by a glass-blower, which gives it high quality as well as a simple and timeless design. I fell for its pleasant design, but especially its light. Kuukuna lamp glows with a unique warm shade when you turn it on.
Kuukuna was originally designed in 1986 by the master craftsman Oiva Toikka and made by expert glass blowers in Iittala's atmospheric Finnish workshops. And now Iittala has dug into its archives and decided to resurrect this mouth-blown glass light. Im very happy for that.

When it comes to decorations in my home, I choose always less is more.
Not because I don´t like many things but only because I think it is easier to find stuff.
Decorating with few things gives also more calming expression and less details to look at. And with less stuff in front at a time, highlights all your favorite things. Here´s some of mine favorites right now.

STENHUGGARDOTTERN ____________ stone/ marble plates
Beautiful things don´t just happen. Neither did this gorgeous plate of limestone. It is a product of generational genuine craftsmanship, where the father has been running a stonemasonry as his father and now the creative daughter Josefine has used their knowledge of the stone and taken it to the next level and started to make these beautiful stone plates. The plates are available in two different designs in limestone and Carrara marble. Gotta love the limestone! More pictures on their home page here.

NEW DESIGN______________________ a bird
Today opens the first gastro hotel Pm in Växjö Sweden and it´s also the first one in Scandinavia. And for this hotel I have had the assignment to design a new object that would match my pyramids. The result was this geometrical shape in brass called bird. The inspiration for the bird came from the Japanese art form origami, where you fold paper into three-dimensional objects. The objects will look a little bit different on how to place them and how the light reflects on to them and is also works as a bookend.

INTERIOR ______________________ something new
There´s always happening something new or just something with my interior. And I just noticed that I haven´t posted a picture about our new brass lamp in the living room. As usually we are doing and testing our prototypes ourselves first in our home. So,so far this is only a prototype. I am going to London next week just to catch up some new inspiration and hopefully visit some design studios. So if you have good advices on what I should not miss while I´m there I´m more than happy to hear about it, just send me an email. firstname.lastname@example.com Thanks in advance!

VEILED LADY ___________by Damien Gernay
I just stumbled over this raw minimalist lamp designed by Belgium based designer Damien Gernay. The lamp collection that includes a floor light, table lights and chandelier is inspired by a mushroom called veiled lady. But the designer describes the lamp design more like an organic anarchy. And what makes it more organic is that each piece is sculpted by hand.

ACCESSORIES ___________________________ hay
As a interior stylist/blogger I browse through every day lots of great pages on the internet and see so many good stuff that I never post about. That´s why I have started now a new label here on the blog called accessories.
The uncrowned king of accessoarier is definitely Danish hay. Although their brand is wide with a solid furniture collection, it is the little accessories that everyone can afford, that has made the brand so famous and loved among non interior interested too. In my own collection of hay I have bought the scissors, golden clips and the round mirror which I use as props to my stylist assignment.

Santa Fehttp://internationalliving.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/slideshow-gallery/Santa-Fe.jpg
Off the beaten path is the quiet town of Santa Fe which is known for its spectacular orchids and slow pace of life.
Nosara is a center for surfing, yoga, and health and wellness retreats. And its tight-knit community of retirees, young families, and business owners have done a lot to improve the community, including building a local library. You can find many residents on the beach at sunset.
Santa Teresahttp://internationalliving.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/slideshow-gallery/slide-2.jpg
Santa Teresa has become a haven for beach-lovers from around the world. Beach bars, hotels, and restaurants—all small operations run by Ticos or expats—line the shore. Here a local entrepreneur sells ice cold coconut water—very refreshing on a hot day.
Beaches of the Nicoya Peninsulahttp://internationalliving.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/slideshow-gallery/slide-3.jpg
Outside the towns of the Nicoya Peninsula, it's not uncommon to run into nearly-deserted beaches like this one in a protected cove. Explore the coast road (during the dry season only—ask a local about road conditions), and you'll have your pick.
Montezuma is a tiny fishing village turned funky beach town on the far southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula. Locals still head out on open boats called pangas to try their luck. And sometimes they're joined by expats like this gentleman trying his hand at surf-fishing.
Next door to Santa Teresa is the more rural settlement of Malpais. And at the end of the road in Malpais, you find a fishing cooperative run by locals with decades of history in this area.
Montezuma, at the far southern tip of the Nicoya, is actually on the eastern side of the peninsula. So instead of sunsets…you get thrilling sunrises like this one over the glistening Pacific. It's worth getting up early for.
Lake Arenalhttp://internationalliving.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/slideshow-gallery/Lake-Arenal-1.jpg

Bang for buck, Chiang Mai is the best retirement haven in Southeast Asia. All told a couple can live very comfortably on $1,500 a month. Many expats spend less.

Coronado, Panamahttp://internationalliving.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/slideshow-gallery/Coronado-1-re.jpg
One of the most popular beaches in Panama, Coronado beach is the site of an active, fun-loving expat community and it's just an hour by car from the capital, Panama City.
Coronado, Panamahttp://internationalliving.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/slideshow-gallery/Coronado-2-re.jpg
Over the years, Coronado slowly grew from a village to a town and, in the 1980s and 1990s, this was the place to see and be seen on weekends or summer break.
Coronado, Panamahttp://internationalliving.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/slideshow-gallery/Coronado3-re.jpg
Over the past decade, many expats have moved here in search of beach property and realized that Coronado was the best option. After all, Coronado has the area's best infrastructure and it's an hour by car from Panama City.
Coronado, Panamahttp://internationalliving.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/slideshow-gallery/Coronado-4-re.jpg
The beach—a mix of bright white and glittering black volcanic sand—goes on for miles. Most of the time, you can have big stretches of it all to yourself.
Sardinia is another Blue Zone. Due to their extraordinary number of centenarians, the close-knit villages of its interior have attracted several major research teams.
Coronado, Panamahttp://internationalliving.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/slideshow-gallery/Coronado-5-re-500.jpg
The Coronado area and its beaches are collectively known as the Arco Seco or "dry arch." The name came about because the region, which arcs over the Pacific, gets less rain than other areas of the country.
