Time Machine Reveals Global Precipitation Role in Major Weather EventsOctober 16, 2014 2:53 pm | by Michael Price, San Diego State University | News | Comments
During the 1930s, North America endured the Dust Bowl, a prolonged era of dryness that withered crops and dramatically altered where the population settled. Land-based precipitation records from the years leading up to the Dust Bowl are consistent with the telltale drying-out period associated with a persistent dry weather pattern, but they can't explain why the drought was so pronounced and long-lasting.
Solar Explosions inside a Computer: Predicting Solar FlaresSeptember 25, 2014 4:30 pm | by Barbara Vonarburg, ETH | News | Comments
Strong solar flares can bring down communications and power grids on Earth. By demonstrating how these gigantic eruptions are caused, physicists are laying the foundations for future predictions. The shorter the interval between two explosions in the solar atmosphere, the more likely it is that the second flare will be stronger than the first one.
Fluid Mechanics: New Math Suggests Alternative to Quantum OrthodoxySeptember 15, 2014 3:43 pm | by Larry Hardesty, MIT | News | Comments
The central mystery of quantum mechanics is that small chunks of matter sometimes seem to behave like particles, sometimes like waves. For most of the past century, the prevailing explanation of this conundrum has been what's called the "Copenhagen interpretation" — which holds that, in some sense, a single particle really is a wave, smeared out across the universe, which collapses into a determinate location only when observed.
Scientists say Ozone Layer is RecoveringSeptember 10, 2014 4:17 pm | by Seth Borenstein, AP Science Writer | News | Comments
Earth's protective but fragile ozone layer is beginning to recover, largely because of the phase-out since the 1980s of certain chemicals used in refrigerants and aerosol cans, a U.N. scientific panel reported September 10, 2014, in a rare piece of good news about the health of the planet. Scientists said the development demonstrates that, when the world comes together, it can counteract a brewing ecological crisis.

Number of Days without Rain to Dramatically IncreaseMarch 14, 2014 3:49 pm | by UC San Diego | News | Comments
By the end of the 21st century, some parts of the world can expect as many as 30 more days a year without precipitation, according to a new study by Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego researchers. Ongoing climate change caused by human influences will alter the nature of how rain and snow falls; areas that are prone to dry conditions will receive their precipitation in narrower windows of time.

- A Happy SurpriseLouEVIPDined on 11/23/2014Food, ambiance and great service greeted us at 8 North Broadway. I was in the town of Nyack, New York to visit the Edward Hopper House and decided to stop for brunch. Now that I have dined there, I think that it might be worth the 40 minute drive from New York City just to try more of the unique and tasty menu. My companion and I started with very fresh oysters and she then enjoyed a flat bread entree and I had a pancake served in a black skillet accompanied by orange based syrup. Both were delicious. The staff and host was polite, personable, knowledgeable and professional. Rare and very welcome. My only regret was that I was driving and therefore abstained from cocktails and wine. The drink selection was very tempting although the French press coffee I was served was also a treat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Service & Friendly StaffJDFromNYDined on 11/18/2014Besides being a neighborhood gem, the Mantra dee Mark who is not only devilishly handsome, was so welcoming to my wife and as we entered the restaurant and also as we were sitting down reviewing the menu. Secondly, our waiter Chris was also very friendly and came off as having a deep knowledge of the restaurant's menus, also expressing enthusiasm for the restraints fresh ingredients and how the dishes were prepared and even garnished. Good job on the staffing alone. The food speaks for itself. Buon Appetite!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TerryBDined on 11/17/20148 North Broadway was an excellent find. Very nice ambience. Quiet, pretty and comfortable. The service was excellent. The food excellent as well. They have a Monday prix fix for $34. that was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellence in NyackOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/16/20148 North Broadway was a terrific experience in every way. The service was attentive and accommodating; the food was excellent and beautifully presented, and the restaurant had a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We will definitely return--for a casual meal or for a special occasion. We loved it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food decent,price high,portions smallneilDined on 11/15/2014Portions hardly filled half of the dinner plate.Coffee was $4 a cup.Cost $85 a couple for restaurant week without drinks.Probably would cost up to$150 normally with a drink.

- Went for restaurant wk, will put in our rotationOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/14/2014We went to 8 North Broadway for the first time, during restaurant week. Everything we experienced, from the food and service, to the general ambiance, were all on point. Food wise, the oysters were amazingly fresh and delicious, while the octopus will definitely have you coming again for more.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just as good as the 1st timejdelossaDined on 11/13/2014Excellent food great service and staff. First time we went with another couple, and this time just the wife and I, same great service and food. No matter if it's for restaurant week or a Sunday night dinner, you will get the same amazing results.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Superior restaurant - don't miss 8 No. BroadwayAnnieODined on 11/13/2014I've been to four places for this season's restaurant week and this was the best. In fact the best restaurant I have been to in a very long time. I tried the octopus, which I have never eaten before. The presentation in the cast iron skillet was very creative, and the dish was to die for. Also had the pumpkn gelato with halavah, also amazing the the flavors totally complimented each other. 8 North Broadway will be on my "go-to" list and I will definitely be back. Not to be missed!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 8 North BroadwayOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/12/2014Really Tasty Restaurant Week menu including many great and varied choices. We loved the oysters on the half shell, Bronzino and chocolate dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great food & lovely ambiance!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/9/2014We went there for restaurant week & it didn't disappoint. The food was wonderful & the set up was nice, cozy & romantic all at the same time. There were 4 of us we each ordered different dish. All of them were very delish! Will definitely go back agin.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EnjoyableDebraDined on 11/8/2014We enjoyed our evening. Our waitress was very pleasant and attractive. My appetizer was very good as was my main dish. It was restaurant week which we had forgotten about. So the total bill was very reasonable. We all had a nice evening.Special Features:
- Delicious!travellingcariVIPDined on 11/7/2014We both had the prix fixe and the oysters/gravalax/rainbow trout/pumpkin raviloi were delicious. Undecided between two wines, the bartender brought us both to try. Small space, so recommend a reservation. Their food > their menu spellingSpecial Features:
- Nice food, service not up to parjpgottadanceDined on 11/7/2014I heard great things about this restaurant and was looking forward to trying it during Restaurant Week. The salmon appetizer was fantastic.Entrees took an extremely long time to come out and the waiter had to be reminded to bring a glass of wine. One of my friends had to leave by 2:00, and I made the waiter aware of this.She had to rush through her entree,ask for the check and barely got to enjoy her dessert. When we got there, there were a few people in the restaurant, but it did fill up, and people who were seated after us got their desserts before we did. There appeared to be only one waiter, a poor decision on the part of the restaurant. The waiter got a 30% tip because I always feel badly that staff suffers during RW due to lower tips.
- A Romantic Gem in Nyack!PleasuresIntElementsDined on 11/6/20148NB is a delightful place. My party of 4 were welcomed and promptly seated one night during Hudson Valley restaurant week, The menu for the prix-fixe had a good selection of dishes to choose from. The food and wine were delicious! We enjoyed great service and the detailed attention given by the wait staff and maitre d'. Overall this restaurant is a beautiful cozy romantic spot to dine or just have a drink..Honestly, I can't wait to return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A winnerHPTNJDined on 11/6/2014Attractively presented dishes that are not standard fare and not at all quirky. All in all, an enjoyable event.Special Features:
- Great service Good food ComfortablestephanieDined on 11/5/2014Had a fine lunch during Restaurant Wk, catching up, enjoying special attention and good food from a generous range of special menu choices. (They offer much the same menu for a couple of dollars more all year - a very good value.) Food is creative, using seasonal and some local ingredients; portions good - generous. There's a tendency to high acidity, saltiness and very concentrated flavors. (Ask them to leave the oysters naked, not spritzed with lemon - do it yourself.) Prep was inconsistent - perfectly cooked cavatelli, under-roasted beets. Can't comment on wine list as the sommelier offered pairings for each course to match our individual choices at an attractive price, so we jumped on it. The wines were good-excellent matches.Special Features:
- Nyack NicheBellaItalianVIPDined on 11/4/2014Had been meaning to try 8 North for a while but decided it was time when Restaurant Week rolled around. Had 3 course prix fix, appetizer of hummus, tziaki (sp?) flat bread, olives and feta, nice size for an App. Tziaki was excellent. Main course of Bronzino ( white flaky fish) served on a small plate w some potato and cauliflower. Well prepared but on the small side portion. Maybe if it wasn't restaurant week portion would have been larger ? The only disappointments were the choices of wines by the glass and the pumpkin ice cream for dessert. Ice cream did not taste like pumpkin, it really didn't taste like anything much. Service was good and seating was comfy. Nice bar where many patrons were dining. Will try again from regular menu.Special Features:
- Wonderful kick-off for HVRWOpenTable Diner Since 2001VIPDined on 11/3/2014We have tried many restaurant week menus around NY/NJ and this may have been the best menu offered. All 4 in our party were able to find something to love from grilled octopus to falafel to steak to lamb ravioli. We enjoyed both blue cheese and halva ice cream for dessert. Especially nice were the $30 wines. (In NJ we love byob, but this is almost as good.) Well done. The service was excellent. We can't wait to go back.Special Features:
- 2girlsandaguyDined on 11/3/2014We went here because of the close proximity to the TZ bridge. Having no expectations we were pleasantly surprised.

Peter was very knowledgable and there when needed without hovering. Try the hummus, it is excellent, nice smoky flavor.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- ViviDined on 9/30/2014From the moment you walk into 8 North Broadway and are greeted so warmly, through the moment you leave and are thanked so genuinely for dining there, this restaurant provides are memorable dining experience. The staff is superb. Anyone who knows and appreciates good food will be pleased here. Dishes are not your standard fare, and provide some unique food choices, prepared and presented pleasingly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedlinkblueDined on 9/27/2014My husband and I both got the special slow roasted ham, which was really dry. My husband commented that if I had made this at home, he'd say that I shouldn't make it again because it didn't turn out very good. There wasn't a lot of flavor to make up for the dryness either. I don't normally comment to the waiter on my food, but since it was $35 for my dish, I decided to politely mention it was a little dry. And after telling them several times that we were full, it wasn't a big deal, they gave us more food samples to eat as if to prove their food was good! And I have to say, it was better, but not much. Overall, just not worth the money and found it strange that they gave us even more food instead of just knocking a bit off the price.
- Exceptional food and serviceKryptenDined on 9/27/2014The Mediterranean fare at 8 North Broadway was beautifully prepared, well presented, and delicious, from appetizer to dessert. The waitress helpfully steered us to select the 9-part mezze platter as an appetizer for 4, and recommended a lovely Chenin Blanc. A large birthday party took up most of the table space, and although our group enjoyed an extensive (and expensive dinner), we were a bit hastily encouraged to leave in order to seat waiting patrons.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- just okSusanDined on 9/6/2014the restaurant seemed to have an issue this evening, as i have been here before and really enjoyed it. The air conditioning was not working properly and the restaurant was quite warm. The waiter came over to give us the menus but never asked if we wanted drinks. We had to grab him to get a drink order placed. The first round of drinks were fine, but then, we had to beg for a second round. When that finally came, no drink was what was ordered, though all had a slice of cucumber (which was the only correct ingredient in the drinks!) we ordered that second round 3 times until we got what we ordered. Overall. the heat, poor service, and drink issues marred the evening.
- Attention to detail in everythingJudyvDined on 9/6/2014Nothing disappointed. Great service. Intense and fresh Flavors from the cocktails through dessert. Will come back for sure!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and service but...ScoonutVIPDined on 9/3/2014The owner(?) was in the restaurant and walked around and greeted the few tables that were filled for lunch asking about food etc. Nice gesture but in the 1 1/2 hour that we were there he never even looked our way. We thought it was very strange and not very welcoming. It cost the place a star in the overall rating.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Must Try!FoodieFlightAttendantDined on 8/31/2014This rustic/elegant restaurant strives to fill it's mouthwatering seasonal menu with only the freshest locally sourced ingredients from the Hudson Valley. It simply can't be beat.Being a flight attendant I've tried restaurants all over the world and this place is among my new favorites!The oysters&mussels were outstanding! The Grilled Octopus entree was delish! I'll be returning tonight to try a dish with one of their grass-fed/hormone-free meat options! The dish sizes were just right,large enough to feel satisfied but with just enough room left to try one of their amazing desserts!I opted for the fresh ricotta tart topped w/sliced grilled peaches,I'm not a dessert person but omg yum!As if all that wasn't enough the service was wonderful!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Two wealthy, accomplished men involved in despicable behavior; one is a hero, one is a villain. Hypocrisy at its finest.
Karl Klassner, Apple Valley
Another wake-up call for an unjust practice
With the botched execution of Clayton Lockett in Oklahoma, which resulted in the man essentially being tortured to death for more than 20 minutes, along with the new study published by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) showing that one in 25 people on death row are innocent of the crime for which they are to be killed, can we at last curb our collective lust for revenge and abolish, as all other Western nations have long since done, the savagery of state-sponsored executions? The United States ranks fifth in the world in executions, just after the likes of China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. The United States executed nearly four times as many people as North Korea in 2013. That is the moral company we keep.
More than 140 death-row convicts have been exonerated by new evidence in the past 40 years, often due to technological advances in DNA analysis. Given that fact and the findings of the NAS, it is not surprising that a number of persons executed in the past 20 years are now believed to have almost certainly been innocent. Their blood is on all of our hands, and it will remain there as long as we continue this barbaric practice.
Stephen Lehman, St. Paul
Those honors must've been too embarrassing
I read in the April 26 edition of the Star Tribune that the head of the Minnehaha Watershed District, Eric Evenson-Marden, was ousted from his position. The reason given by Sherry Davis White, the district's board president, was that "we felt that the district needed new leadership to guide the vision and work of the organization in future years." The very next paragraph states that Minnehaha was named Watershed District of the Year for 2013 by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and that it had been named "Watershed Hero" by the Freshwater Foundation. It occurs to me that the Minnehaha Watershed District needs a new board.

FalconView is a mapping system created by the Georgia Tech Research Institute for the Windows family of operating systems. It displays various types of maps and geographically referenced overlays.[1] Many types of maps are supported, but the primary ones of interest to most users are aeronautical charts, satellite images and elevation maps. FalconView also supports a large number of overlay types that can be displayed over any map background. The current overlay set is targeted toward military mission planning users and is oriented towards aviators and aviation support personnel.
FalconView is an integral part of the Portable Flight Planning Software (PFPS). This software suite includes FalconView, Combat Flight Planning Software (CFPS), Combat Weapon Delivery Software (CWDS), Combat Air Drop Planning Software (CAPS) and several other software packages built by various software contractors. Current work includes the development of FalconView as part of XPlan, the Department of Defense's most recent mission planning system. The Joint Mission Planning System is also being added to FalconView as a plugin. The program has an active user community, and the Georgia Tech Research Institute plans events supporting the program.[2][3]
Air National Guard[edit]
Development of FalconView began in 1990 by the Georgia Tech Research Institute after they were contracted by the Air National Guard (ANG) to create a mapping package that would run on a personal computer and be easier to use than the existing UNIX-based system. Georgia Tech Research Institute had previously developed mapping applications as part of the Micro Fix and the FORSCOM Automated Intelligence Support System (FAISS) programs for the United States Army. The initial development was performed under an Army Research Lab contract. The combination of FalconView and the Combat Flight Planning Software (CFPS) which was being developed by the USAF 46th Test Squadron and TYBRIN Corp became the Portable Flight Planning Software (PFPS).
The initial versions of FalconView were simply a set of routines to display scanned raster maps such as CADRG (compressed arc digital raster graphics) with simple stick routes drawn on top, but the easy to use software was popular with the end users and more functionality was added. Each additional feature was developed with significant input from the user community and improved with feedback from a group of beta testers. Unlike most other DoD developed applications, the FalconView development team was given very general requirements by the ANG which were fleshed out into a product by the development team and mission planners who used the software for their daily activities.
Additional sponsors[edit]
In the early years the software was distributed to other services from user to user because it made their jobs easier. As the program matured, United States Special Operations Command adopted PFPS and added capabilities such as the Moving Map functionality (ability to have the map scroll and rotate based on the position information received from a connected GPS navigation device) and helicopter support. In 1997, the United States Air Force adopted the Portable Flight Planning Software into the Air Force Mission Support System (AFMSS) program, followed by the first Navy release in 1998 and an Army release in 2002. Each adopter of the software has funded new functionality to the program and a corresponding expansion of its ability to interact with other systems.
Version 3.2, released in 2002, added significant third party programmer support to FalconView. As a result, many new applications were developed by other government program offices and end users who used Visual Basic to automate tasks for their specific needs[4][5] FalconView supports a set of programmer interfaces which allow applications to fuse their information into a single picture of the user's area of interest. The users know that data produced on FalconView can be shared with other branches of the armed services and coalition partners who have PFPS through the Foreign Military Sales Program.
Open-source software[edit]
Because the federal government has funded the development of FalconView, it is a nonproprietary "government off-the-shelf" (GOTS) application and is free of any license fees for government use. This includes the use of the Software Developers Kit (SDK) which documents the interfaces for use by government developers and contractors working on government programs.
In late 2008, Georgia Tech was funded to develop and deploy an open-source software (OSS) version of FalconView. The OSS version of FalconView includes most of the functionality of the GOTS system, excluding only a few overlays considered to be exclusively related to military mission planning. Georgia Tech posted the first alpha version of FalconView as open source in June 2009.[6][7][8]
Honors and awards[edit]
The FalconView development team at the Georgia Tech Research Institute received the National Security Award on December 12, 2011.[9]

You have a PM
The people you do your life with shape the life you live
So, YOU were a BS in your first M?) I guess I don't understand how a person who has had this done to them first, could ever possibly do this to someone else....if they really love that person. You SHOULD know how to help him then! I could go on but if you're reading all the other posts, you SHOULD get it by now! Be there for him, no matter how long it takes. You hurt him, now it's time to help him!
Trying, you are right, I do know how it feels to BS, to find out and feel your body go limp, to try and tell yourself it's not true, but sadly I don't know what it's like to have a remorseful WW. At all. I have no idea what that remotely looks like (other than reading books and SI). My xWH was -and still is- the biggest narcissist I've ever met. I found him kissing his AP right in front of me, he denied it all and then I went evidence hunting. Once I confronted him with all of the credit card bills, poems and emails, he did not even put up not a single fight. He simply moved out and signed a 1 year lease on a studio apartment and then abandoned my DD and I. She was 18 months old. Fast forward to today and he's suddenly decided to come back into my 12 year old daughter's life, tell her a sob story that I "took" her away from him and re-wrote every aspect of his life. He failed to mention that college was more important than seeing her, paying medical bills or child support, but who cares about that stuff? Now it's all rainbows and unicorns in the shape of high dollar gifts to her like coach shoes, Miss Me jeans and letting her do whatever she wants at his house. The worse part of it all is that her demeanor is changing to indifference towards me and her personality has changed to be very similar to his (in a narcissistic way. It is beyond troubling for me to see this happen to my sweet DD) Did I mention that he received a HUGE inheritance and is now taking me back to court to try and get split custody?
My point is, I know what it's like to be stomped on. I will NOT be that person that my xWH was
once the fog lifted and I understood that I was no better than xWH, I crumbled. I literally realized I had not only betrayed my BH, but I had ultimately betrayed myself.
I love my BH immensely. I will not give up on him, I will fight for him. I will do what it takes to make him feel safe. Please don't assume that I am saying I am giving up. I never once said that I am abandoning his hurt or him. I'm fighting for him daily.
Maybe read my other posts and you can see where I'm at on my journey. This post, for me, was more of a boundary line and saying gently, "that's not okay to say those things" kind of post
I'm concerned about increased drinking and anger and thoughts on being a WW. He had somewhat of a one-way EA in his first marriage. It's a very real concern of mine. If I didn't care and I wasn't working hard, I wouldn't be here.
I do appreciate your time to post and your honesty with your own experience with anger and drinking. I never experienced that as a Bs, so it does help me to know it's not just happening here with us.
[This message edited by wheredoigo at 9:56 PM, July 27th (Sunday)]
Ialso thought I read that your BH had an xWW and xWW family
I went and read my profile. You're right. I did have it written in there. It's kind of confusing. I changed it so that it doesn't say that anymore.
In short, my BS was married before and suspected his 1st W was having a A, but that was after she discovered that he was having a one way EA with his xGF.
If you want to search his profile Jt8d , you might have a bit more to read from his perspective. I really do appreciate that you are taking time to read and respond.
I never would have actually done that in a million years or with a gun to my head, i was merely trying to get him to at least begin to feel the hurt & anguish & humiliation & betrayal i felt.
I honestly don't know if true for your BH, but looking back i look at my behavior as simple lashing out, really no different than a temper tantrum in hopes of getting xSO attention.
BH here. I don't think you put too much stock into what BH is saying right now. If he was closed off and not engaging I would worry more.
He is engaging you, albeit in a painful way. He is working through his anger towards you. He may have trouble doing that because his inhibitions prevent him. (He still loves you). Alcohol becomes a "tool" (not a healthy one) to let out his anger towards you.
Here is the thing some people miss about expressing anger. It can be painful to let the anger out. It is not a cake walk for the receiver, but the person expressing anger can feel pain doing that. Co-dependents especially. Numbing himself with alcohol allows him to express his anger with that pain that comes with that anger minimized. Most likely he is maxed out with pain in a normal setting and can't handle anymore.
Try to gently to makes some rules about drinking. (No "A" talk while drinking, etc.) Also he needs to express his anger towards you, but feel confident enough that it will not chase you away.
FWIW right now he is afraid that his anger is going to push you away. Take small comfort in that. He doesn't want to push you away. Work on allowing him a safe place to express it without fear of you running away or becoming defensive. Anger clouds judgement and it likely will not always make sense or be "fair." It can be addressed after it is expressed or at a later time
Your role is to be able to listen and empathize. Show him you understand why his angry. Don't deflect, try to change his mind, just accept it. He is still burdened with the past and is no where near looking towards the future and the person you are becoming to "convince" himself that he is safe.
Hold him and remind him he is safe. He really needs to provide that for himself, but probably isn't able to right now. He is only a few months out (After reset). He is fearing another DDay more than anything and would likely do almost anything to avoid that, even if it is damaging to you, the M or himself.
Dday 8/31/11. ONS that occurred 3 years earlier. Lied to for 3 years.
Every truth comes to light in a long enough timeline.
Hopefully it is just the alcohol talking and he straightens up and doesn't turn the tables around on you.

JP Morgan Copper ETF Gets Green Light
- Details
Is there light at the end of the tunnel for J.P. Morgan's physical copper ETF?
[This article originally appeared on IndexUniverse.com and is republished here with permission.]
The JP Morgan XF Physical Copper Trust has finally gotten the regulatory rubber stamp it has sought for more than two years, as market participants and regulators fretted over the impact a physical copper ETF could have on the supply and demand balances of the copper market.
In a statement released Friday, the SEC put to rest a lengthy regulatory debate that took more than two years to play out, arguing that the trust would not affect the copper market's integrity, but rather would serve as a transparent and accessible alternative by which participants in the copper market can access or offload physical copper inventory and associated price risk.
"The Sponsor believes that the trust would move copper from one type of liquid stock to another type of liquid stock, rather than removing inventory from the market, and would track, rather than drive, copper prices," the SEC statement read.
Indeed, the approval process was mired, among other things, by a complaint a New York law firm filed on behalf of copper merchants and fabricators arguing that the proposed trust would remove as much as 30 percent of the copper available for immediate delivery worldwide, creating an artificial squeeze.
Many who oppose the trust have suggested that a physically backed copper ETF would require the ETF trust to hold onto supplies that they say are crucial to the global economy today. The tighter supplies should also cause prices to rise.
J.P. Morgan's copper trust is looking to register 6.18 million shares, or 61,800 metric tons, of copper. The trust will hold "grade A" copper in physical form, and will not trade in copper futures. The copper will be stored in LME-approved and non-LME approved warehouses in the Netherlands, Singapore, South Korea, China and the U.S.
But hoarding copper is something that the JP Morgan Trust cannot do, United States Commodity Funds' CIO John Hyland recently told IndexUniverse in an interview. Hyland's firm is behind the only other copper ETF in the market today, the futures-based United States Copper Index Fund (NYSEArca: CPER).
"Every institutional player in copper can buy copper, store it in an LME warehouse, or store it in a non-LME warehouse, and refuse to sell it to anybody else, no matter what happens to the price," Hyland said.
"That is how that market works. That is how basically all commodities work. You just hold onto it if you want, except for the proposed physical copper ETF. It would be the only participant who cannot hoard copper."
On the contrary, Hyland makes the argument that a physical copper ETF would actually increase liquidity in the market, as investors would be able to trade the ETF.
The SEC's latest move likely means that iShares' planned physical copper ETF—a fund that has also been sitting in the regulatory pipeline since late 2010—might also actually come to fruition.
However, both funds must be approved for listing by the exchange where they will have their primary listings.
The iShares Copper Trust would go head-to-head with J.P. Morgan's planned ETF.

As a software developer we have fantasies. Each of us has his own ideas about a great change which will defiantly bring improvement. Those ideas are not realized because they have no economical direct incentive. Such ideas range from developing a smart text box which will use natural processing language and understands user requests to replacing our existing old annoying build technology with a new cool one. However, no one asked for a smart text box and the old annoying build system works just fine.
What happens to these fantasies in the agile era?
In short HBase is good for reads and Cassandra for writes. Cassandra does a great job on reads too so please do not think I am shooting either down in any way.

Customer data is a valuable asset. Why not treat it that way?
Analytics & data are words that have become very popular now. Black gold. Texas Tea & "Information is the new oil" are those catch statements that are now used so often (more than 1.3 million Google search results). This has led to creation of "Infonomics", a term coined by Gartner's Doug Laney, which describes the act of quantifying, managing and leveraging information as a formal business asset. Although generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as yet do not require the reporting of information assets on the balance sheet, infonomics deems that organizations acknowledge that information is more than merely a resource.
Companies are behaving as if information has a monetary value. The question is how much?
"It's flummoxing that companies have better accounting for their office furniture than their information assets," said Douglas Laney, an analyst at technology research and consulting firm Gartner Inc. "You can't manage what you don't measure."
Corporate holdings of data and other "intangible assets," such as patents, trademarks and copyrights, could be worth more than $8 trillion, according to Leonard Nakamura, an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.
Tobin's q is a simple ratio first posited by Nobel-winning American economist James Tobin in the 1960s to understand the relationship between a company's market value and the replacement value of its assets. Tobin's q has more than doubled from 0.4 in 1945 to a predicted 1.1 in any given year currently. This means that in general markets now value companies more than the sum of their tangible assets. How can this be? Non-reportable intangible assets of course.
Doug Laney has this very interesting view
"At Gartner, our infonomics research shows how information meets the criteria of a recognizable (balance sheet) asset. Yet, because the accounting aristocracy continues to prevent organizations from recognizing it, information continues to be managed with far less discipline than financial, physical assets or recognizable intangibles. We have also shown how organizations that are more information-centric have market-to-book values that are 200-300% higher than the S&P average"
Facebook, eBay and Google have combined assets minus combined debt of $125 billion. But the combined value of shares is $660 billion. The difference reflects the stock market's understanding that the companies' key assets, such as search algorithms, patents and huge information on their users and customers, don't show up on their balance sheets.
So how do you value your personal information? How much does the market pay for it?
Alexis C. Madrigal has this interesting take: " User profiles -- slices of our digital selves -- are sold in large chunks, i .e. at least 10,000 in a batch. On the high end, they go for $0.005 per profile, according to advertising-industry sources. But maybe that's not the right way to value the data. After all, each profile of you being sold only takes advantage of some subset of your information. Facebook and Google make roughly $5 and $20 per user, respectively. Without your data in one form or another, their advertising would be mostly worthless, so perhaps your data is worth something in that range. But let's not forget the rest of the Internet advertising ecosystem either, which the Internet Advertising Bureau says supported $300 billion in economic activity last year. That's more than $1,200 per Internet user and much of the online advertising industry's success is predicated on the use of this kind of targeting data".
This is leading to some interesting business models:
What does design have to do with finance, money and banking?
New banks in India ,IDFC & Bandhan, better be listening. A bank acquiring a creative organization- that's news! Adaptive Path, a design and user experience consultancy has been acquired by Capitol One. And just before that Daniel Makoski, founder of Google's modular Project Ara phone project joined Capital One.So how come banks are attracting this serious Creative talent!
In the new digital world, banking & creativity may not be oxymorons!
New banks in India have a unique opportunity to embed "digital" in the fabric of how they do business. But banks are complex with structures that don't allow for speed. In many cases, eBusiness teams own the mobile banking strategy, but few eBusiness teams have an exclusive mandate over their firm's mobile banking initiatives. This division of responsibility creates silos and adds significant complexity to the coordination and optimization of Digital efforts.And yet, the user experience is the key for more consumers to adopt the bank's digital channels.
AdaptivePath CEO Brandon Schauer puts it well, when he writes:
"Whether we talk about greeting cards, mobile apps, or vacation get-aways, the experience is the product. From the perspective of customers, everything that goes into making up that experience—technology, materials, service support, or a supply chain—simply becomes the magic behind the experience.
Yet the orientation and focus of our businesses is the inverse of this customer perspective. We plan around features and operational functions, leaving the customer experience as an unintentional byproduct of how the pieces and parts happen to come together for the customer".
As the infrastructure of digital technology — the chips, network connections, computing — becomes ever cheaper, they're becoming commodities, and the value of tech products is shifting to the design and the user experience. But the real value starts to flow when companies orchestrate the User experience with Personalisation.
Personalization, it seems, is really about gathering exactly the data that's needed in order to perform a particular task. Think about how Amazon asks users whether purchases were for themselves or as gifts, or how streaming services like Netflix and Pandora ask users to rate content. But personalization is a complex process involving multiple components:
The Financial services business actually can generate significant amount of user data to help personalize its offerings. Here is an interesting example of a Lending company in California, LendUp, which is doing this effectively.
LendUp wants to give those looking for a speedy fix to a short-term financial need, a way to borrow money without hidden fees and high interest rates. LendUp believes that really understanding its users makes all the difference in the world. The company is trying to be a low-friction source of relatively cheap loans for under banked individuals.
LendUp's solution is pairing smart site design with smarter algorithms.
LendUp asks for standard data from each applicant (including Social Security number so it can look at credit scores and other data), but also asks certain applicants to connect using Twitter and Facebook. Also LendUp offers financial literacy education in the form of online webinars. Customers are incentivized to use these facilities with the knowledge that participation improves their loan rates and potentially increases their loan size in the future. LendUp found that borrowers who completed at least one of their free education modules were 80% more likely to repay. LendUp also found that repayment rates continue to rise as borrowers complete more education modules, suggesting that borrowers can apply and build on knowledge gained through a bank sponsored education program.
Obviously, the data LendUp generates about how people interact (by completing those credit-building lessons, for example) and repay once they're in the system also helps the company determine future rates.
So quite a few pointers for us as Marketers:
If you thought Uber was just a car service company, it's a tech company that happens to be a car service too. No wonder it has neuroscientists amongst more traditional hires in the company! The data team at Uber uses data science for fundamental problems such as ETA algorithms ("Your driver will be here in 5 minutes"), pricing algorithms, fare estimators, and heat maps to show passengers the current position of their driver.
Uber's $1.2 billion financing tells a story- the imputed value for Uber (pre-money, i.e., prior to the influx of $1.2 billion) was $17 billion, a mind-boggling sum for a business that generates a couple of hundred million in revenues.
Both Lyft (another car sharing company) & Uber have attracted massive financing. Now that each team has a quarter-billion dollars in its pocket, the World championships can begin.
Uber is trying to use the "movement pattern" data that it gets to more sharply understand its users. Here are 3 examples in the words of the Uber data scientists that I found fascinating:
So once you start to see the company as a data, tech & analytics company, the possibilities really start to become huge:
How relevant is all this to a company in any traditional business? Here are some thoughts:
As city-wide urban infrastructures such as buses, taxis, public utilities and roads become digital, the datasets obtained can be used for tracking movement patterns through space and time.
The identification, analysis and comparison of such patterns will provide greater insights on human movement and contribute to a better urban management and would be useful information for urban transport services provider. Imagine if Uber & a bunch of other companies started to share such data with other companies. There could be huge power in "community analytics". If Coke & Uber were to cooperate by mashing up their data together, interesting opportunities could develop from such partnerships. Where people travel & when they consume can have interesting parallels.
How can Lingerie & data have any correlation? I am sure you are asking that questions. But bear with me & don't forget to watch the video that I have provided a link to.
But before that, allow me to digress a bit. Almost 78% of consumers think it is hard to trust companies when it comes to use of their personal data (Orange, The Future of Digital Trust, 2014). And yet Personal data has become a currency today. All of us are leaving our data behind in a digital exhaust that has begun to worry us as consumers.
So, the World Economic Forum is calling personal data a 'new asset class': "a valuable resource for the 21st century that will touch all aspects of society". But companies will need to understand how they can gather customer information without compromising the customer's trust!
A recent PEW report had this to say:
"While enthusiasts see great potential for using Big Data, privacy advocates are worried as more and more data is collected about people - both as they knowingly disclose things in such things as their postings through social media and as they unknowingly share digital details about themselves as they march through life. Not only do the advocates worry about profiling, they also worry that those who crunch Big Data with algorithms might draw the wrong conclusions about who someone is, how she might behave in the future, and how to apply the correlations that will emerge in the data analysis."
But some companies are finding a way where consumers share information because they get "value" in return.
True & co is this interesting company that combines data & design to create an opportunity for consumers to share data with the company thereby improving the appropriateness of the product to the customer. True & co claims to be the first company to fit women into their favourite bra with a fit quiz – no fitting rooms, no measuring tape, no photos. The data they collect allows them to match the customer to over 6000 body types on their database.
Research suggests that women loathe the bra shopping experience and the massive $14B intimate apparel industry is dominated by one primarily brick-and-mortar player. So True & co uses big data to make shopping online for lingerie easier & better. They collect over Half a million data points from users to help customise the experience. Since the company launched in 2012, True & Co has collected some 7 million data points They used this data to launch products designed using this data. Body type, implicit explicit preferences etc all mashed together to create a personalised recommendation engine.
Do have a look at this video telling their story:
So consumers are happy to share personal information as long as they see a "value add" for themselves. And organisations with trust-based information sharing relationships with customers will have significant competitive advantage over those with traditional data gathering relationships.
I was speaking at IIM Lucknow last night & had a wonderful session with the MBA students about the changing nature of Marketing & how Big data & Analytics are going to play a big part in it.
Prof Ashwani Kumar had a very interesting take on how Analytics is going to be eventually embedded across every function & not exist as just a separate specialisation.
Prof Ashwani is doing some interesting work on Analytics at IIM Lucknow & you can have a look at his work & profile here: http://linkd.in/XRQd
I spoke about how the changing nature of consumer behaviour is creating peta bytes of data for Marketers to analyse.And though Analytics is sexy today, companies still stuggle to adopt it & gain maximum mileage from it. So Analytics is popular but hard to execute! I also spoke about the need to bring creativity into analytics through both better "story telling" & more innovative approaches to data.
And yet in the words of a Gartner Analyst Doug Laney "companies have better sense of the value of office furniture than their information assets".
I also spoke about how the stock market seems to value "Information based companies" far more than any others.But most companies don't report Customer data: imagine if we had Customer flow & Customer value data along with the regular balance sheet & cash flow statements!!
Here is an interesting chart from Gartner which highlights the improved return on Information assets:
Here is a copy of my presentation:
docs/IIM LucknowAug82014.pdf
Marketing is also changing a lot because of the access to huge amounts of Social media based customer data.
Not just marketing, Big data is hugely changing our world & life in fundamental ways. To see the enormity of this change, have a look at the video below...
I have seen innumerable situations where bright analysts are unable to "tell stories from their data". They have a lot of learning to do from an unrelated field-Journalism! Ben Fry has described it very well. Analytics or Data scientists need skills from these varied fields.
I believe that Analytics teams have a lot to learn from the new breed of Data journalists. They have all the above skills & also work with super deadlines!
At Cequity, our model is unique because it tries to integrate very contrasting dimensions into one entity where the sum is larger than the parts! Having a designer's sense with data may contrast with a statistician's dry look at numbers!
We seek "intersection" skills-intersection of Creative, technology, data & business! Not easy to do with highly talented people & we are attempting it!
The interesting thing is that journalism is getting far savvier with data! I see visual data based story telling in the New York Times that is absolutely mind boggling. Even here in India, I see some lovely data visualization in the Mint!
But are analysts getting creative with their story telling? Visualization of data is getting democratized & it is not very difficult for analysts to be creative about this. Today we as consumers are getting far savvier about technology in our personal lives & that will impact our expectations at the work place. I am sure that savvy consumers will make data presentation so much more fun even within "enterprises".
I also wrote on this theme earlier here http://bit.ly/1uXcwlQ
In the Media world,new business models are emerging in which data is a raw material for profit, impact, and insight, co-created with an audience that was formerly a passive consumer!
In 2014, data journalism is mainstream and the market for data journalists is booming.New media outlets like FiveThirtyEight.com and Vox.com are competing for eyeballs with Appp3d.com from the Mirror, QZ.com from the Atlantic Media Group &The Economist's DataBlog.The New York Times hired biologist and machine models expert Chris Wiggins, an associate professor of applied mathematics at Columbia University, as its chief data scientist."At The New York Times, we produce a lot of content every day, but we also have a lot of data about the way people engage with that content," Wiggins says. "[The Times] wanted to build out a data science function not only to curate and make available those data, but to learn from those data. In particular, the thing that the New York Times is interested in learning is: what makes for a good long-term relationship with a reader?" "On every desk in the newsroom, reporters are starting to understand that if you don't know how to understand and manipulate data, someone who can will be faster than you, "said Scott Klein, a managing editor at ProPublica.He continued: Can you imagine a sports reporter who doesn't know what an on-base percentage is? Or doesn't know how to calculate it himself? You can now ask a version of that question for almost every beat. There are more and more reporters who want to have their own data and to analyze it themselves. Take, for example, my colleague, Charlie Ornstein. In addition to being a Pulitzer Prize-winner, he's one of the most sophisticated data reporters anywhere. He pores over new and insanely complex data sets himself. He has hit the edge of Access' abilities and is switching to SQL Server. His being able to work and find stories inside data independently is hugely important for the work he does. Read about this here: http://bit.ly/1sXWAh6
Maybe it is time for the Analytics profession to wake up & bring some variety into their hiring-a journalist amongst their midst, maybe!
Analytics needs a evangelist! Without such a person, you just don't get the impact that Analytics actually is capable of providing! Mostly this evangelist needs to be right at the top, the CEO!
Of course, some CMOs have led their organizations into embracing the practice, including John Costello, former exec VP-CMO of Home Depot; John Elkins, head of global brand and marketing at Visa International; and Cathy Lyons, CMO-exec VP at Hewlett-Packard.
One organization which has become a huge case study in the application of a "fact" based approach to business is Harrah's Enetrtainment!
In 1998, as Harrah's was about to embark on wave of expansion, their CEO Philip Satre asked Gary Loveman to take a break from Harvard to become chief operating officer of Harrah's Entertainment. The important thing was the he was not brought in as a CMO but as the COO-he had the line authority to make changes that would impact the business!!
"In terms of income, it was actually a pay cut," Loveman says, since he had to forego the consulting that supplemented his income as a professor.
He went on to develop the gaming industry's most successful loyalty and analytics program—Total Rewards—which boasts more than 40 million members.
In an interesting article, Karl Taro Greenfeld says this about Gary Loveman, who has since then also become the CEO: the chief executive officer of Harrah's Entertainment Inc., the largest gaming corporation in the world, sees his customers as a set of probabilities wrapped in human flesh.
Since taking over as CEO in 2003, Loveman, 50, has relied on the numbers to build Harrah's from a regional operator of 15 casinos to one with 39 in the U.S. and 13 more overseas.
His first big move as COO was to start a loyalty program called Total Rewards, which became such a success -- growing to over 40 million members by 2010, the largest database of probabilities in the industry -- that by the time Satre stepped down in 2003, Loveman had become the logical choice to succeed him.
Loveman earned a Ph.D. in economics at MIT and went on to become CEO, president, and chairman of Caesars Entertainment, owner of Harrah's casinos and other resorts worldwide.
Loveman says there are three ways to get fired from the hotel and casino company: theft, sexual harassment, and running an experiment without a control group.
But this seems like common sense, run experiments , see what works & scale up! And yet very few companies do it.
Dan Ariely, a behavioral economics professor at Duke University and the author of Predictably Irrational, outlined some of the resistance to experimentation that he's come up against.
"I've often tried to help companies do experiments, and usually I fail spectacularly," Ariely writes. For a company struggling with getting a good bonus system in place, he suggested experiments or even just a survey. Management, he says, "didn't want to add to the trouble by messing with people's bonuses merely for the sake of learning. But the employees are already unhappy, I thought, and the experiments would have provided evidence for how to make them less so in the years to come."
But Gary Loveman managed to stay incredibly committed to Testing. These tests run from the use of coupons to offers of free meals or hotel stays, all designed to get customers to spend more money during their playtime.
This is what he said when asked about the Testing culture: "We need to overcome hunch and intuition with empirical evidence. . . . We can start with a hunch or strong belief, but we act on it through experiment. We want evidence. We've gone from the introduction of experimentation as a technique to a culture of experimentation as a business discipline. We hire people predisposed to do this by temperament and by background. Organizationally, we're committed—and I'm committed—to making sure we have the discipline to have the decisions we make informed by this evidence".
And yet we mustn't forget that Harrah's is not an easy business to run. Currently they have,$23 billion in long-term debt & have gone through some aggressive financial re structuring.
And lastly we must also ask ourselves, is this kind of Analytics good for society! Keeping gamblers coming back may hurt them & cause a lot of turmoil in many lives! Doesn't analytics have a social responsibility!
I saw this wonderful video of Vinod Khosla interviewing Larry Page & Sergey Brin.
4 year view or a 20 year view!!
It raises some very interesting questions. What do companies need to do to grow? How should companies look at the Short term vs long term? Taking a 4 year view vs a 20 year view are two fundamentally different philosophies. It is difficult to solve a "big problem" in 4 years & easy to do in 20 years. Google, of course likes to take on "big problems".
So is Google a search company or will it be a larger Health company in the future. Or will it be an Artificial intelligence company?
Do have a look at this (long) but interesting video.
So Short term vs Long term? How many traditional companies would invest in something like Google Brain- a machine learning initiative to help make computing more efficient and capable by mimicking the distributed processes of the human brain. And yet Artificial intelligence is more than 60 years old as an application area. One reason why some experts believe AI is beginning to achieve its long-imagined potential is the explosion of data on the web.
So the question we need to ask is whether we have a 4 year view of Analytics or a 20 year view?
Maybe this may lead to the following questions to ponder over:
The best shopping list is one you don't actually have to create. When a giant like Walmart changes its mind about running a Loyalty program, it is time to sit & take notice.
Walmart has been synonymous with Everyday Low Prices(EDP). But unlike other supermarket chains like Kroger and Safeway, Walmart did not have a crucial marketing element-- A loyalty card.
Now Walmart is taking a distinctly different route towards loyalty. Savings Catcher, which began with a seven-city test this spring and rolls out nationally this summer, automatically gives shoppers refunds for the difference between what they paid at Walmart and lower prices advertised by competitors.
@WalmartLabs in Silicon Valley is planning to make shopper data and analytics from the program available to shoppers themselves, in a departure from most loyalty programs. Walmart is building capabilities that will let people search and sort their receipts, get pie charts breaking down how they spend their money, generate "predictive shopping lists," keep a running tab of in-store purchases to stay on budget, get notifications when there's a manufacturer coupon available for an item on their list, or get the best-priced bundle of items within a pre-set budget.
More importantly, this is an interesting trend where companies are beginning to use analytics for "consumer consumption".
There is so much talk about Customer centricity. And yet no one function in a company really owns the customer. In a service organisation (banks, Retailers etc), often Marketing plays that role. But do Marketers play this role well & are they able to do the "productive conflict" that is needed with the "lines of business" to produce a Customer oriented outcome.
Why is it that the Campaign management team is considered a purely tactical organisation? Across banks, telecom companies & other customer facing businesses, I often observe that Campaign management is treated as a function that is at the bottom of the Analytical marketing totem pole. And yet nothing could be further from the truth. If anything, consumers have access to a huge array of channels and tools as well as a social megaphone to reach brands. This shift firmly places the consumer in the driver's seat. And yet the "last mile" that creates engagement with customers is considered a purely tactical function. Customer centricity needs anchoring within the organization to create more meaningful impact.
Campaign execution is boring. If it is seen as a pure "execution "job, this function will be staffed by people who automate & run tools. I am not saying that this is not important. It is crucial to correctly engage with customers. But what is critical is to have a Customer strategy & in today's world with real time marketing, this is becoming even more critical. Often in a bank, product managers will decide what customers to contact & with what offer. In the absence of a Customer segment strategy, the bank will continuously bombard customers with offers because each product manager will drive campaigns to the customer.
But what if campaign management is looked at more strategically, as a "real time, customer engagement team".Mckinsey shared this wonderful infographic that truly demonstrates this new reality!
Do senior managers inside companies recognise this reality? Do HR leaders appreciate the need for this competency? Is there a skill level inside the organization to handle the customer strategy issues, the data issues, the campaign design issues and the reporting issues? And, as the complexity increases exponentially with testing and rapidly increased campaigns, is there the ability to scale those resources?
Also do companies have a career path for people who do this? Marketing ranks low in sales-driven organizations, where the function's leaders focus mostly on corporate communications and brand campaigns. Rethinking campaigns needs, a different CMO, much closer to peers on the executive team, who can deliver a Business impact. And who believes that campaign management can play a larger role.
How can Marketing leaders make the Campaign management function more strategic? To begin with campaign management must connect to larger Customer strategy. A few key drivers can be:
4. Create a Customer Intelligence Unit: Who owns client insights and the ultimate customer value proposition? Customer intelligence is different from Business intelligence.Analytics can provide a huge diffrentiator to how companies understand their customers.
5. Establish a strong Customer management council: group of top leaders in the company who are able to mediate to solve the issues that arise out of taking customer centric action. This council becomes a strong enabler for Campaign management playing a differentiated role.

GOSHEN – A Warsaw man has been sentenced to 120 years in prison for beating an 82-year-old man with a tire iron during a home invasion.
An Elkhart County judge ordered the sentence Thursday for 26-year-old Jeffery Hunt after he pleaded guilty in June to armed robbery resulting in serious bodily injury and other charges.
Hunt's father also pleaded guilty and received the same sentence in March.
The Goshen News and The Elkhart Truth reported the men hid in Donald Neer's home in New Paris following a ruse last November and the younger Hunt hit Neer in the head with a tire iron, breaking vertebrae in his neck.
Neer said he had to wear a neck brace for months.

Along the way, the medium is attracting better talent. Even Salmon Rushdie made a deal to create a Sci-Fi series for Showtime last year, remember? And A-list actors like Jim Caveziel-- star of the CBS crime drama Person of Interest-- are being lured away from movies by appealing small screen projects. It's no surprise then that some of the most-hyped properties at Comic-Con 2012 come from the TV arena. The schedule reflects about 84 total shows that'll be featured this year, compared to only about 20 movie-related attractions. Major draws like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones join Comic-Con standbys like Doctor Who and Supernatural to lead the TV takeover, while niche offerings like Wilfred and Shameless round out the selection. As per usual at CC, genre connoisseurs will also get their fill-- there's a Battlestar: So Say We All 35th anniversary event with guests like Richard Hatch and Jane Espenson, and Sci-Fi demigod Joss Whedon will be in attendance at the Firefly panel. Fans of Bryan Fuller's comic fantasies (Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls, Pushing Daisies) should look out for his presentation of NBC's Hannibal, which marks the creator's return to the medium. Fuller will also touch on his Munsters reboot pilot, Mockingbird Lane. Other highly-anticipated shows at SDCC 2012 include returnees like Breaking Bad, True Blood and Family Guy. Stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul will be on-hand to represent Breaking Bad, as will Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin for True Blood. The Family Guy panel will be led by the always-entertaining Seth MacFarlane, and promises a sneak-peak of the upcoming season. Despite the TV takeover, SDCC 2012 still boasts an impressive line-up of films. Keep an eye out for first-look footage of Pacific Rim, Man of Steel and Iron Man 3 to name a few, plus onstage appearances by industry legends like Quentin Tarantino.
