City of Hope researcher receives grant for new approach against leukemia
Denise Heady
DUARTE, Calif., July 17, 2014 —
More than 40 percent of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) will relapse despite receiving aggressive chemotherapy for the disease. A new therapeutic approach, using immune cells known as T cells, could significantly improve their odds. In recognition of the potential impact of this approach, the work has just received a $450,000 grant from the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation.
Elizabeth Budde, M.D., Ph.D.,
an assistant professor in the
Department of Hematology & Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation
at City of Hope, received The Jake Wetchler Foundation for Innovative Pediatric Cancer Research-
Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation Clinical Investigator
award, which will support a three-year study of immunotherapy treatment for AML.
"Support such as this generous award from the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation and The Jake Wetchler Foundation for Innovative Pediatric Cancer Research is critical to our clinical research efforts," said
Steven T. Rosen, M.D.,
provost and chief scientific officer at City of Hope. "The project that Dr. Budde has developed will expand the field of T cell immunotherapy in a very significant way and extend the benefit of treatment to patients with few options. This award is an important and prestigious recognition of the quality of work at City of Hope."
Budde leads the research under the mentorship of
Stephen J. Forman, M.D.,
the Francis and Kathleen McNamara Distinguished Chair in Hematology and Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation at City of Hope.
AML develops when abnormal white blood cells grow so rapidly in the bone marrow that they interfere with normal blood cell development. Currently, patients with AML have only one option to cure the disease: a blood stem cell, or bone marrow, transplant. Because many patients fail to achieve disease remission, they are not candidates for transplant. Thus, doctors and researchers have been desperately searching for other treatment options that could serve as bridges to transplant or even be curative on their own.
In Budde's approach, a patient's own T cells are modified to destroy AML cells. Although normal T cells target a variety of foreign or abnormal cells, Budde's modified T cells are reprogrammed to specifically and efficiently target and kill leukemia cells.
The grant will also help Budde find ways to boost the potency of the T cells and make the therapy more effective.
"[These studies] have the potential to change the treatment paradigm and significantly improve the cure rate for patients with leukemia in the future," said Budde.
About the award
The Damon Runyon Clinical Investigator Award supports independent young physician-scientists conducting disease-oriented research that demonstrates a high level of innovation and creativity. The goal is to support the best young physician-scientists doing work aimed at improving the practice of cancer medicine. The Jake Wetchler Foundation for Innovative Pediatric Cancer Research aims to fight pediatric cancer by acting as an innovation incubator, funding leading-edge research and launching breakthrough ideas.

Understanding nature and transferring its traits to technology is not only the objective of bionics, but also of marine biology and microbiology.
Bionics, marine biology or microbiology. Here you can find scientific reports and articles about achievements and developments in the fields of bionics, marine biology and microbiology. Technical research departments at many universities and institutes are examining and learning from nature and then collaborating with the fields of bionics, marine biology and microbiology. Although Arnold Gehlen once labeled humanity as a "flawed being" that had to create its own culture to survive nature's environment, we can be certain he had not yet considered the opportunities presented by bionics, marine biology and microbiology. Science is meanwhile using the traits of the flawed being to contemplate how to utilize bionics, marine biology and microbiology to copy animals, plants and the rest of the environment. Because nature features attributes such as the hardest and most durable materials and efficient energy production and conversion, it has become a treasure trove of knowledge for bionics, marine biology and microbiology. As a stand-alone branch of research, science can use bionics to demonstrate that nature is superior to humans in many aspects and that we still have a lot to learn from it, whether in macro or microbiology.
The "Bionic Six" comic and animated television series revolved around a family who collaborated with a researcher to utilize the attributes of nature to combat those intent on destroying it. The "Bionic Six" acquired their power and speed through bionics. They knew how to take advantage of the physical forces of nature and were already advancing into the fields of marine biology and microbiology research. Today, bionics is a well-respected field of research that has little to do with children's entertainment. Bionics occupies itself with nature's "inventions" and works closely with the fields of marine biology and microbiology to transfer their attributes to the human culture. Bionics has already proved its worth in the fields of materials research and nano technology. Bionics and microbiology have also made progress in areas such as energy production and storage.
Marine biology has enjoyed new impetus over the past several years. Although researchers have long been occupied with both fields, marine biology and microbiology were thrust into the public spotlight no later than with the publication of "The Swarm", a novel by German author Frank Schätzing. Over the last year, marine biology and microbiology reports revealed that although scientists have unearthed a wealth of new discoveries in marine biology and microbiology, there remain thousands of undiscovered animal species in both areas. Microbiology is actually a vital part of marine biology since the ocean depths contain not only large animals, but also organisms that cannot be seen with the naked eye. And this is where microbiology comes into play. Marine biology and microbiology are engaged in examining the effects of currents, depths and temperatures on the development and propagation of organisms and animals. For this reason, marine biology and microbiology researchers are working to discover new animal species and organisms, all the while further expanding the depths of geography and science. When marine biology and microbiology come together with bionics, this can result in unimagined discoveries and thus the development of new methods that humans can implement for their own benefit and for the protection of the environment. The latest achievements in the fields of bionics, marine biology and microbiology can be found in innovations-report.
Articles and reports from the Life Sciences area deal with applied and basic research into modern biology, chemistry and human medicine.
Valuable information can be found on a range of life sciences fields including bacteriology, biochemistry, bionics, bioinformatics, biophysics, biotechnology, genetics, geobotany, human biology, marine biology, microbiology, molecular biology, cellular biology, zoology, bioinorganic chemistry, microchemistry and environmental chemistry.
Healthy cells reduce their growth when there is a lack of oxygen (hypoxia). This makes it even more surprising that hypoxia is a characteristic feature of malignant tumours. In two publications in the current edition of the "Nature Communications" journal, researchers from Goethe University and the Justus-Liebig-University of Giessen report on how cancer cells succeed at circumventing the genetic program of growth inhibition.

The team of scientists led by Prof. Dr. Björn Schumacher at CECAD Cluster of Excellence at the University of Cologne has shown that a longevity assurance program in nematodes increases tolerance to genome damage. DNA damage accumulates with age and results in an aging-associated decrease in tissue function. Defects in DNA repair mechanisms can therefore lead to premature aging and early death of affected patients. The Cologne scientists' findings open up new perspectives for the treatment of aging-associated diseases.

The great Folks at the
Seattle Auto Show
hooked me up with an AMAZING CHEVY TRUCK! This is not sure any CHEVY, it is a brand new
Have you seen these BEAUTIES yet? Check out some of the AMAZING FACTS about the 2013 SILVERADO 1500!
With a broad range of body styles and proven, fuel-efficient powertrains, the 2013 Silverado 1500 can tackle just about any job a truck owner can imagine – from hauling equipment and a crew to a job site to towing a camper for a family vacation.
Reflecting the importance of low cost of ownership to full-size pickup customers, Silverado continues to offer proven V-8 power with an EPA highway estimate of 21 mpg for mainstream 2WD or 4WD models, and a 22-mpg highway estimate for the Silverado XFE.
Silverado's capable, efficient powertrains have helped make it the most dependable, longest-lasting full-size pickup, backed by a five-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty.
Silverado 1500 offers a full lineup of pickups to meet almost any need, including WT, LS, LT, XFE and LTZ models, as well as the unique Silverado 1500 Hybrid – the industry's only hybrid full-size truck. Silverado 1500 models are available in three cab styles – regular, extended and crew cab – as well as three cargo box lengths: 5 foot 8 inches (short), 6 foot 6 inches (standard) and 8 foot (long).
Powertrain grade braking is now included in all six-speed automatic transmissions. This feature reduces brake rotor temperatures 100 degrees Celsius on grade tests by downshifting transmission gears, thereby reducing brake applications on long downhill conditions.
Are you DROOLING YET?
Click HERE for amazing pictures and video's from the horses mouth!
Silverado 1500 offers a comprehensive array of features that make it an excellent choice for towing and hauling, including:
StabiliTrak with trailer sway control and hill-start assist

Apparently the kids are first tested on sight lists and as soon as they don't know 1 word out of the 11 lists they stop and that's where they have to start with their cards in order to progress to Accelerated Reading. Husband and I don't necessarily agree with this method, especially since the word DD missed was "as" on list 3 out of 11. "As", a word she's known since she was about 3. For whatever reason she had a brain fart or hurried through and immediately had to stop there, hence her not being as far along as we thought she should be. I don't quite know why they don't go through all 200+ words and then evaluate where their weaknesses are. She only missed about 3 towards at the very end out of all 11 lists when we did them here. She's already reading books at home, but is stuck doing these words at school until she goes through the next 30 words/7 cards. (Hasn't missed any since apparently)
Her teacher said she's smart but that she doesn't see any signs of being gifted. Which OK, she may be right. Maybe we've been biased all this time. The thing is, she mentioned a couple concepts DD got wrong in math that were "advanced concepts" that she didn't grasp as an example, but when we looked at them they are things she does without thinking at home. In fact, the one she missed was identical to a problem on her homework this week that she looked at for a split second and answered correctly for me.
Apparently she rushes her work and ends up skipping things or doesn't listen to all the directions and does the problem wrong or doesn't do what's asked. She does the same with her homework because she thinks it's super easy.
Her teacher's education is in identifying advanced and gifted kids and she doesn't think she's gifted at all. So we don't know what to think anymore. Is she just slightly above average? And if she is will she be in classes and groups with kids like her cousin who is the same age and can't even spell her name or understand basic number concepts? If she's not gifted, that's fine, we're happy with simply higher than average, but we (and others) have felt she is for years. So how can we get her in appropriate programs in school later if she's not performing to her ability in school, whether it be nerves or laziness or rushing? It's probably way too early to think about at this point, but still in the back of our minds. Very frustrating.

10 sent to hospital following accidental hazmat incident at Temple Square
Laura Seitz, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Two chemicals were accidentally mixed together at Temple Square on Thursday, creating a hazardous materials scare that resulted in 10 people being sent to the hospital.
About 11:30 a.m., a janitor inside Temple Square's South Visitors' Center, 50 W. South Temple, was pouring chlorine into what he thought was an empty bottle, said Salt Lake City Fire Department spokesman Jasen Asay. But there were traces of sulfuric acid inside from a previous job.
The mixture created a vapor cloud of thionyl chloride, he said.
"When you breathe it, it creates burning in the mucus membrane, coughing and nausea," Asay said.
The amount of chemicals mixed was small, but the room was small enough that many people were affected, he said.
About 50 people were evacuated from the visitors center. The south end of Temple Square was also blocked off, and TRAX service between the Gallivan Plaza and Arena stations was stopped because of emergency vehicles on the tracks.
All 50 people were evaluated by firefighters and paramedics. Ten, including the janitor, were sent to local hospitals for further evaluation as a precaution.
The best way to treat people who may have breathed the chemical was to get them fresh air, Asay said. Many of those evacuated showed improvement immediately after getting out of the building.
The building's air system eventually pumped the chemical outside, where it quickly dissipated and did not pose a threat, he said.
TRAX service and the closed roads were reopened a little after 1 p.m.

Great guy and a great tutor. Doug is a very nice individual, he has a patient and polite way to him. He uses a variety of techniques to teach the subject matter. He was knowledgeable about the subject matter but what really surprised me was how prepared he came to the tutor session. He went over each topic on his own time prior to the session and brought a packet of his own for me to review over. He said he spent about 2 hours a day for a week prior to the meeting to prepare the tutor meeting/lesson for me, and I think that is awesome. Learned a lot from Doug and would refer him to anyone in need of a good tutor.
Doug was on time and able to set up want I did not understand with the computer.
Doug was a very good fit for my AP Economics class. I would supply him the topics I needed covered for class and he would research them thoroughly, present hand-outs, and answer all my questions clearly. He is very prepared for each lesson and even used games when it helped get the concepts across. He is patient and has flexible hours. He has helped me grasp not only the topic, but the theories behind it. Thanks!
Helped me pass one of the hardest classes I have taken in college. Was nice to work with and flexible about meeting schedule

Re: BREAKING NEWS: St. Louis Rams sign WR Drew Bennett
Bennett was arguably one of the top receivers on the market in a weak market, so obviously he was going to get a contract of decent size. To those that say we overpaid, if he stays as the #3 his entire time here perhaps we did. But I think we signed Bennett anticipating that at some point he replaces Bruce. Combine that with the market we're in right now, and I don't think the contract is bad at all.
The biggest criticism I've heard from Titans fans is that Bennett will drop some passes, but I think working behind Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce along with having a receiver coach like Henry Ellard is only going to help Bennett's development as a player.
The only question I have about this signing is whether or not we offered this kind of deal to Curtis before free agency started.

Re: BREAKING NEWS: St. Louis Rams sign WR Drew Bennett
What 2 Titans fans had to say about Bennett:
"Bennett will definitely play the slot and I don't know why they paid him so much to be their 3rd guy. He's not very fast or quick and he doesn't have that great of hands. There's a reason we let him walk even with our piss-poor receivers."
"He's tall, so he must be a red zone target, right? Wrong. He's not strong at going up and getting passes.
He's no very fast, but he's found ways to go deep several times.
His hands are average.
I think he's an excellent #3, or a decent #2 with a good #1 opposite him. Seems like too much money to me, but that's how it goes lately."

Member Market: Start the season for a reason on Dec. 6
Member Market:
By Alliance Members for Alliance Members
This "Member Market" is a paid announcement sent by the Alliance on behalf of a member to business and community leaders and young professionals.
The lifeblood of a strong economy
"Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well." – Theodore Roosevelt
Throughout Global Entrepreneurship Week, we've highlighted the efforts of three entrepreneurs working to make their dreams a reality in West Virginia.
After countless hours of hard work, these three – Jill Watkins, owner of Watkins Design Works; Nikki Bowman, owner of New South Media, and Alice Ruhnke, owner of The Grant Advantage, – took a leap of faith to launch a business that encompasses their passions and utilizes their skill set.
And it's worked.
We understand that not all entrepreneurial endeavors will experience extreme success. The path of an entrepreneur is a tough one filled with risks and high costs. But that's why we are here.
The Charleston Area Alliance is dedicated to serving the needs of businesses – both large and small – working in the Kanawha Valley region. Not only are we working to attract large employers to the area, but we're also working to give our small businesses the tools they need to achieve a high level of success.
The Charleston Area Alliance's small business programs include:
Small Business Incubator Program – This program is the perfect fit for start-ups and entrepreneurs in the Kanawha Valley region looking for affordable office or warehouse work space. Located on Smith Street in Charleston, the 70,000-square-foot-converted warehouse offers offices for rent in varying sizes as well as office amenities and business consulting.
To provide a one-stop shop for success in the incubator program, other helpful organizations located in the building include: the West Virginia Small Business Development Center, the Charleston chapter of SCORE (Service Corps of Retired Executives), the U.S. Department of Commerce Export Office and the Regional Contracting Assistance Center.
GROW – Designed to enhance the skills of entrepreneurs while simultaneously building an entrepreneurial ecosystem, GROW takes up to 20 entrepreneurs through a six month program to grow their businesses and build their networks. GROW participants receive a structured, stimulating environment founded in entrepreneur education, coaching and peer feedback.
SAGE – Sustainable Agriculture Entrepreneurs (SAGE) is a year-long program designed to teach participants how to grow sustainable produce in urban spaces and how to develop those growing efforts into household income. It takes growing to a new level by giving participants the knowledge and skills they need to make urban farming a viable entrepreneurial endeavor.
THRIVE – This crowd-funding initiative supports local entrepreneurs by giving them an infusion of seed capital in a fresh, inventive way. Held annually, THRIVE brings community members and business leaders together to act as investors for one night. Every attendee has the opportunity to hear the business pitch of the selected entrepreneurs who are chosen in a prior screening process. At the end of the night, one business will be chosen to receive the seed capital that will help them grow their business.
West Virginia Regional Technology Park – The Charleston Area Alliance continues its involvement at the "Tech Park" where unique equipment and facilities provide the type of entrepreneurial environment necessary for new start-up companies to commercialize their new technologies. Tenants the park such as MATRIC, which also got its start at the Alliance, as well as the new "Chem-Ception" chemistry based incubator and the Advantage Valley Advanced Training Center, are pushing the Tech Park into the future.
Innovation is the driver of any strong economy and entrepreneurs are its lifeblood. At the Charleston Area Alliance, we are working to create an ecosystem that supports a community of innovative entrepreneurial pursuits through our programs, partners, and resources.

Storytelling the key to success for The Grant Advantage
If Alice Ruhnke had to pick one word to describe the essence of her small business, the choice would be simple: storytelling.
Not to be confused with the fictional form of writing, The Grant Advantage assists nonprofit organizations working to make real change in their communities by identifying an organization's strengths, clarifying its goals and effectively telling its story in the form of grant writing.
Since 2006, The Grant Advantage has raised over $5 million from federal, state, corporate and foundation sources to help nonprofit organizations working in West Virginia and surrounding states have a greater impact on the communities they serve.
In addition to grant writing, The Grant Advantage assists clients by locating funding sources, developing programs, completing qualitative evaluations and much more.
During the business' initial years of operation, Ruhnke ran the business from her home in Charleston.
"Really ever since I started, there's been work out there to do, but it wasn't until I worked with Terry Cyfers at the Small Business Development Center that I considered expanding," she said.
After learning about the Charleston Area Alliance's small business incubator program, which provides small start-ups affordable office space, Ruhnke began the expansion process.
With the help of Mike Aeiker, vice president of real estate service for the Charleston Area Alliance, The Grant Advantage moved to an office on the fourth floor of the Alliance building located on Smith Street in September 2013.
"I think this has really increased my profile," Ruhnke said. "I've actually gotten one client simply because they walked by. I feel like I'm a little more productive. It separates my work from my home and helps it to look and feel like a real business."
Ruhnke was also able to hire a second employee, Elizabeth Hardy, to assist with grant writing and project development. With the added help, Ruhnke has been able to expand The Grant Advantage's services.
After completing lengthy trainings, Ruhnke recently added the service of appreciative inquiry facilitation, which helps organizations manage the process of change. Ruhnke explained that the method seeks out the best of "what is" in an organization to help ignite the collective imagination of "what might be," rather than focusing on the negative side of an organization's situation.
In addition to helping organizations manage and achieve positive change and develop new programs, Ruhnke said she's happy that The Grant Advantage can help organizations of all sizes secure funding sources.
"The little guys are really important to me. Being able to work and keep my prices at a place where a little, new nonprofit can afford my services is very important," she said.
With over 15 years of experience in the field, Ruhnke said she doesn't plan on leaving the field of grant writing, or storytelling, any time soon.
"I always wanted to be a grant writer. I started this because I love the work," Ruhnke said. "What I have is a dream."
Since 1986, the Charleston Area Alliance has supported local entrepreneurs and small start-ups in the Kanawha Valley region by providing affordable office and warehouse work locations, along with the guidance, consulting and office amenities needed to ensure success.

Showcasing the beauty of West Virginia and its people
When Nikki Bowman founded "WV Living" magazine in 2008, her mission was to celebrate life in the mountain state.
Six years later with four publications in regular circulation, New South Media is continuing to pursue its original goals as it grows in size and reach.
Under Bowman's leadership, the company recently expanded to a second office in Charleston and hired three employees to support the site. With the help of the Charleston Area Alliance's small business incubator program, New South Media was able to locate its second office in the Alliance's convenient and affordable office building located just minutes away from the State Capitol.
Christa Hamra, New South Media advertising specialist, said the February 2014 expansion occurred in conjunction with the company's launch of "WV Focus," a publication dedicated to covering news in business and government across the state.
The small start-up, now with 14 employees, is headquartered in Morgantown and regularly publishes "WV Living," "WV Weddings," "WV Focus" and "Morgantown Magazine."
"We've got a lot of things going on all of the time," Hamra said.
In addition to its regular publications, New South Media works with various groups across the state to produce specialty, travel and/or trade magazines.
Shay Maunz, a New South Media staff writer based in Charleston, said she was originally hired to cover government and business news for "Focus," but thanks to the company's diverse publications, she's been able to cover a wide variety of stories for all publications.
"I really, really like my job," Maunz said. "It's exactly the kind of work that I want to be doing now in my career. I really do think that what we work on matters."
From showcasing beautiful weddings held in West Virginia's picturesque mountain landscape, highlighting a neat coffee shop making waves in Tucker County and covering the January water crisis, New South Media's publications cover a range of stories across the Mountain State.
Amanda Eskew, New South Media advertising specialist, is the third member of the Charleston team. Always a fan of the magazines, Eskew said a copy of "WV Living" could always be found lying around her house and when the new position was listed in Charleston, she jumped at the opportunity.
"It's a blessing. It's kind of like a dream come true to be a part of it," Eskew said.
Hamra, Maunz and Eskew are all West Virginia natives and agree that it's a great place to work and live.
"The beauty that we have here and the people that we have here, you can't beat," Hamra said.
The team agreed that part of New South Media's aim is to find unique, creative ways to showcase West Virginia's beauty and its people.
"The goal of all of our magazines is to build a better state from the inside out. So we have to change perceptions of West Virginians and change perceptions of those outside the state, as well," Hamra said. "We have a lot of subscribers who are from West Virginia, but have moved outside of the state and 'WV Living' is how they keep in touch with what's happening here."
The Charleston team said its new location will put them much closer to following political events during the legislative session as well as events happening across southern West Virginia. Also, locating in the incubator kept their costs for their expansion manageable.
"I'm thrilled that I have an office space to go to that is so convenient," Hamra said. "The Alliance takes great care of the building. Anything you need, you just ask and it's taken care of. It's quiet, but there's always people around. Everybody knows where you are. All you have to do is say that I'm in the Alliance building. The visibility of being in this building is a perk."
Hamra said the Alliance's incubator program really allows small businesses to put their best foot forward by supplying the materials and professional space they need.
Since 1986, the Charleston Area Alliance has supported local entrepreneurs and small start-ups in the Kanawha Valley region by providing affordable office and warehouse work locations, along with the guidance, consulting and office amenities needed to ensure success.

A passion for her profession
Spend five minutes talking to Jill Watkins about her profession and you'll quickly see why she chose commercial interior design.
Whether discussing the utilization of space, lighting, or green building techniques, Watkins' passion for her profession is clear and her excitement to be working as an entrepreneur in West Virginia even more apparent.
After more than 20 years working for interior design and architectural firms, Watkins founded her own design and consulting firm, Watkins Design Works, LLC, in Charleston in January.
Thanks to the Charleston Area Alliance's small business incubator program, the commercial interior design and green building consulting firm was able to locate in a work space on the fourth floor of the Alliance's convenient and affordable office building located on Smith Street.
"I really wanted to have an office space that was separate from my home. I wanted have a space to meet clients and sort of differentiate myself from residential designers," Watkins, who is the sole owner, said. "I thought it was important to be in an office because that's the kind of spaces I'm designing."
Unlike the common perception that interior designers simply select the furniture and color scheme of a space, Watkins explained that her role in a commercial project, whether new construction or renovation, is much greater.
"Commercial interior designers see things three dimensionally. We know how people will feel when they walk through a space. We know that a functional layout and a healthy indoor environment are going to make an organization's staff more productive and happier," Watkins explained.
Watkins Design Works offers all facets of interior design services including conceptual design, design development, material selections, lighting design and much more.
"It's a professional service, just like anything else, that is designed to help make that company more profitable and meet their business needs and marketing goals," Watkins said. "My goal is to design functional and beautiful interiors that support a business' needs, brand and vision."
After earning a bachelor of science in interior design from the University of Tennessee, Watkins became a Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) accredited professional with a certification in building design and construction.
With every project she undertakes, Watkins uses her education and LEED training to incorporate green building methods to meet a client's desired sustainability outcomes.
Whether concerned with indoor air quality or energy cost savings, Watkins said she can help clients meet their goals and LEED certification by serving in a facilitator role to bring architects, engineers and designers together to ensure that sustainability goals are successfully incorporated into a project from the start.
"To me it's all about the big picture," Watkins said. "What I think I bring to the table is a broad overview of sustainability, while knowing a lot of the nitty gritty details about green building," Watkins said.
"We spend 90 percent of our time indoors. Not only should our spaces be designed well, but they should make us healthier, they should make us feel good and we should want to be there."
Since 1986, the Charleston Area Alliance has supported local entrepreneurs and small start-ups in the Kanawha Valley region by providing affordable office and warehouse work locations, along with the guidance, consulting and office amenities needed to ensure success.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

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 ...

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.

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...

Quickly, the patterns began to be established.
In one history class, the instructor took charge immediately with a 15-question test.
Many students had laptop '"issues," so some of them had to fill out answers the time-honored way, with paper and pencil.
In gym classes, the workout room was in full use.
Bremen's Sept. 27 town-wide "block party" sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce is ready to go.

This review is from: Perixx MX-1000 Iron Programmable Gaming Mouse
Pros: This is more than a great mouse for the price. It's a great mouse period. Expect to pay 2x as much or more for this amount of quality from another brand. Read the description and it has impressive stats but what it doesn't tell you is that the mouse has a great ridged feel that really helps when doing precise work. The two main buttons have a matte finish that offers just the right grip compared to slick plastic. If you don't want to put out for a $70 mouse then this is the one!
Cons: Only gripe is that I wish the two thumb buttons on the side didn't stick out so far. Always seem to hit them on the edge and it feels like a deep push to trigger them.
Other Thoughts: Pretty adjustable lights that my girlfriend likes!READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: LG 27EC33V-B 27EC33V-B Black 27" 5ms HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor IPS 200 cd/m2 5,000,000:1
Pros: Midrange monitor that gives you more than you pay for. Color is good, viewing angle is great even when flipped on its side for viewing programming lines.
Cons: Blacks are good not great, but for this price a great value
Other Thoughts: Recomended for anyone trying to get their bang vs buckREAD FULL REVIEW
This review is from: LIAN LI PC-P80 Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Pros: This is a monster of a tower. You'll never lack for room with this case so stuffing all your water cooling, enormous motherboard, 3 graphics cards, etc... is easy. I use this tower as a leg end for my desk it's so tall. The overall build and finish is of the highest quality and can be felt everywhere. Non of the edges are sharp, everything fits very well and the door feels like something you'd expect from an exotic sports car (plus it can be adjusted to open from the opposite direction)The fans work well at keeping the heat down and fan control helps with the noise. Removable motherboard tray is nice but in my opinion doesn't matter much to most Computer builds unless you swap your Mobo a lot. If you have the room go for this Tower-of-Power.
Cons: My only cons for this tower are for personal reasons not engineering defects of any kind. I would have liked if the black on the outside was inside the case as well. Sometimes the door with the fans is a pain because I have to open it (super lazy complaint right?) to access my CD driver and card readers. However, a legitimate complaint about the door would be that you can see Mounted Drivers that display stuff like temp and whatnot. Non issue for me its all on my monitor.
Other Thoughts: Lian Li puts a lot of effort into their work. Definitely a brand I trust with a great tack record for quality.READ FULL REVIEW
