Open for over 38 years, Paradise Skate Roller Rink invites skaters to roll around its Hawaiian-themed decorations. Brightly colored palm trees adorn the painted walls, adding ambiance as skaters don rental quad or inline skates. A snack bar offers beer, wine, and sodas alongside hot dogs, personal pizzas, nachos, and burritos, which patrons can dine on as they watch one of several flat-screen televisions or events such as roller derby.
Vacaville Ice Sports sends skaters spinning, coasting, and pirouetting across a pair of NHL-size rinks. Each day of the week, the facility swings open its doors for open-skating sessions, and, when the ice isn't getting its hard-to-reach itches scratched by public blades, the arena buzzes with hockey leagues, birthday parties, and learn-to-skate classes. An on-site arcade and free WiFi keep mitten-free fingers busy in between ice-based orbits, and the center's snack bar ensures legs remain fully fueled for additional spins around the polar sheets.
Operated by Silicon Valley Sports & Entertainment, the parent company of the NHL's San Jose Sharks, Sharks Ice skating centers professionally maintain solid-water rinks and facilities to accommodate a full range of activities. Each Friday night (7:30–9:30 p.m. in San Jose; 7:15–9:15 p.m. in Oakland) customers have full run of the centers' Olympic-sized rinks for public skating and fashionable displays of warm, Cosby-inspired outerwear. In addition to skating amenities, each Sharks Ice center features a full-service pro shop that sells NHL athletic apparel and other skate supplies and accessories. The centers also feature public snack bars and spacious public areas for socializing and frigid recitations of 18th-century Russian poetry. Sharks Ice San Jose also houses Stanley's Sports Bar, a full bar and restaurant overlooking the three rinks. Skate rental is included, but if you prefer to bring your own foot-blades, the general admission price without today's Groupon is $8, which still makes the Groupon the better deal. Hours are subject to change, so please call ahead to confirm.
The Bay Area's largest temporary outdoor ice rink plays host to a wide collection of former East Coasters and Midwesterners over the holiday season, as recent transplants gather on the ice, longing for the frozen wintery ponds of home. What they get instead is a very San Francisco skate, although no less fun for its palm tree backdrop, tourist-heavy Embarcadero crowds and proximity to the Ferry Building's gourmet treats. Customers can rent skates for $4 and join a 90-minute public skate session at the low price of $10 per adult and $6 per child age seven and under. Skaters can spin and fall and laugh to the pumped-in holiday tunes, then grab a bite from a nearby food truck (Sundays only). The Holiday Ice Rink at Embarcadero Center runs from early November to early January, seven days a week.
The Stockton Indoor Sports Complex celebrates fast-paced sports and recreation with public-skate sessions, roller hockey, and roller-derby contests. During public-skate sessions, adults and kids lace up old-fashioned quads or in-line skates and glide around the center's hockey-rink-sized floor. Add a couple goals to the floor, and it's ready for youth- and adult-hockey leagues or indoor-soccer matches?the complex's only skate-free activity aside from bathroom breaks and oft-discouraged handstands.
For those who prefer to spectate, the Port City Roller Girls zip around the track on select days, shouldering opposing teams into the boards as they entertain fans during grueling roller-derby matches. On special occasions, the rink's private party rooms are available for birthday parties replete with pizza, hot dogs, and soliloquies lamenting the fleeting nature of one's youth.
Belmont Iceland offers its own $5 deal for admission and skate rental on Friday evenings; however, this Groupon can be used at any time, offering customers the most versatility.

Nassau County Jail Guard Arrested On Drug Charges
MINEOLA, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) – A Long Island correction officer is facing charges he possessed amphetamines with the intention of selling them, prosecutors said.
Daniel Lanigan, 29, was arraigned Tuesday. He is charged with two counts of drug possession, one as a felony and a second as a misdemeanor. The felony count alleges he possessed Adderall with the intent to sell.
Prosecutors said Lanigan allegedly bought 10 Adderall pills in Levittown two hours prior to the start of his shift at the Nassau County Correctional Center in nearby East Meadow, but did not say where he intended to sell the drugs.
Lanigan has worked at the Nassau County jail since 2009 and was suspended without pay following his arrest.
"The public has a right to expect that employees put in positions of authority and paid with their tax dollars do not put themselves above the law," District Attorney Kathleen Rice said. "My office will continue to investigate anyone who violates that sacred trust."
Lanigan is due back in court on Aug. 14.
His attorney did not immediately return a telephone call for comment.
The investigation is ongoing, according to prosecutors.

As Diaspora Jews increasingly assimilate and intermarry with gentiles, and their
Israeli counterparts marry Jews whose forebears came from the four corners of
the earth, a window of opportunity to study Jewish genetics is gradually
closing.In another generation or two, it may be possible only to know
whether one bears a "Jewish genome" rather than identify the different genetic
threads that once bound them together.For more than 100 years, both Jews
and non-Jews have been trying to find out whether Jews are a religious group, a
people or even a race. Some were motivated to use this information as a basis for
discrimination or even murder, others to boast about supposed superior
intellectual abilities and a disproportionately large number of Nobel Prize
laureates.Jews with a family history of chronic or genetic diseases
wanted to know if they were likely to contract them or pass them on to their
children and grandchildren. The higher prevalence of Tay-Sachs, Gaucher and
Canavan's disease among Jews is well known, but some experts claim certain
psychiatric, metabolic and oncological diseases are also more common among
them.Now, Prof. Harry Ostrer has produced a 264-page, English-language
volume melding together science, history and biography to better understand the
complex subject. Titled Legacy: A Genetic History of the Jewish People,
the $25 hardcover book was published by Oxford University Press.A Jewish
medical geneticist at Yeshiva University's Albert Einstein College of Medicine,
Ostrer is also director of genetic and genomic laboratories at Montefiore
Medical Center in New York. Almost two years ago, he was named to the Forward 50
list of "people who have made an imprint in the past year on the ways in which
American Jews view the world and relate to each other."A physics
graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who received his MD from
Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, Ostrer trained in
pediatrics and medical genetics at Johns Hopkins University and molecular
genetics at the US National Institutes of Health.Before joining
Einstein, he spent 21 years as professor of pediatrics, pathology and medicine
and director of the human genetics program at New York University's School of
Medicine.While he has spent much of his career investigating the genetic
basis for a variety of rare diseases from color vision deficiencies and
thalassemia to sex development disorders – even going to the Far East to test
Cambodian and Thai citizens for mutations that disrupt their blood – Ostrer has
put a special emphasis on population genetics among Diaspora Jews, collaborating
and competing with research groups in Israeli centers and others
abroad.He co-established with Israeli-born Einstein researcher Dr. Gil
Atzmon the Jewish HapMap Project on genomes of contemporary Jewish Diaspora
groups (Hap refers to haplotype – a group of genes inherited together by an
organism from a single parent).The book is divided into six large
chapters – "Looking Jewish," "Founders," "Three Genealogies," "Tribes," "Traits
and Identity" – plus 277 references. In the first chapter, he describes the work
a century ago of Dr. Maurice Fishberg, a young Russian-Jewish immigrant
physician in New York City, who "grappled with the issues of Jewish origins,
identity and traits" in a series of articles that he made into a book: The Jews:
A Study of Race and Environment.A one-time coal miner, the physician
became chief medical examiner of new immigrants for United Hebrew Charities and
then a physical anthropologist who confronted American supporters of restricting
immigration who claimed the Jews brought in communicable diseases, especially
tuberculosis. But his maps proved that the prevalence of TB was significantly
lower in the lower Manhattan districts where Jewish immigrants congregated than
in all other districts, apparently due to their better hygiene and eating habits
due to kashrut.But he also found that "mental retardation, mental
diseases...called hysteria and neurasthenia," diabetes and "amaurotic family
idiocy," now known as Tay-Sachs disease, were more common among Jews, leading
him to wonder about their heredity. Fishberg decided to become a physical
anthropologist to measure and compare physical shapes such as head shape (using
calipers) and pigmentation to scientifically determine "racial
characteristics."Researchers after him postulated that humans originated
in Africa, and that over the millennia, their migration out of the continent led
to genetic differentiation in which those with lighter skin, hair and eyes were
more likely to survive in cooler climates and passed on their genes to produce
new races."Viewed in the context of Jewish history," Ostrer wrote, "the
genetic makeup of contemporary Jewish populations has been influenced by the
geographic origins of a relatively small number of founders... Following the
destruction of the Jewish kingdoms more than 2,000 years ago, the Jews became a
migratory people who established communities throughout the world. Some of these
communities retained their continuity over long periods of time."Within
those communities, Jews were linked by religion, customs, marriage and language.
The designation 'Jewish' was limited by Jewish law to those whose mothers were
Jewish. Entry [into] the community was possible through religious conversion,
but this was not common. Jewish identity was maintained within these communities
up to the present day."Ostrer noted that Jews today can be designated
according to where their forebears lived for many centuries as "Middle Eastern"
(Mizrahi); Sephardi (originating in Spain and Portugal until the end of the 15th
century); Ashkenazim, who moved from Italy and crossed the Alps and settled in
the Rhineland and then other places in Europe; and North African Jews, who lived
along the coast for over two millennia after being exiled after the destruction
of the two Temples, mixed with surrounding populations.All this shaped
the face of world Jewry.DR. CHAIM SHEBA, the pioneering Israeli
geneticist who was surgeon-general of the Israel Defense Forces and Health
Ministry director-general (after whom Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer was
named) is lauded in the book for his work to determine whether Jews constituted
a single homogeneous group or a series of genetically related groups.He
found that eating ful (fava beans) and certain anti-malaria medications can
cause terrible anemias in certain people due to G6PD deficiency caused by genes
that are found in certain non-Ashkenazi Jews, Greeks and African Americans. This
led to Sheba becoming "the original force behind the concept of 'Jewish genetic
disease.'" The work of the past four decades has provided a basis for Sheba's
observations that "Jews from different Diaspora groups had different disease
susceptibilities." Other researchers identified the higher rate of Neimann-Pick,
Canavan's and Gaucher's diseases among Jews of specific origins.Ostrer
explained that in recent years, a method known as "coalescence," that estimates
when a mutation occurred in populations based on the observation that DNA is
inherited in "blocks." If people who have the same mutation share a large block,
the mutation arose from a recent founder, but if the block is short, the founder
lived long time ago. Thus this technique is similar to carbon dating for
archeology.The author discusses the two breast/ovarian cancer mutations,
BRCA1 and BRCA2, which do not cause most cases but are likelier in Ashkenazi
Jews. He mentions that Rosalind Franklin, a young Orthodox Jewish scientist,
discovered the structure of DNA with Watson and Crick in 1953, but unlike them,
did not live to receive the Nobel Prize they did because she died at 37 of
ovarian cancer caused by the mutant gene.Also mentioned is the
University of Washington's superb geneticist Prof. Mary-Claire King, who studies
the genetics and interaction of genetics and environmental influences on human
conditions such and is known for three major achievements – identifying the
BRCA1 mutation, showing that humans and chimpanzees are 99 percent genetically
identical; and applying genomic sequencing to identify victims of human rights
abuses. King is a frequent visitor to Israel and collaborates regularly with
Israeli scientists, including Sha'are Zedek Medical Center's chief of medical
genetics, Prof. Ephrat Levy-Lahad (whose work is also mentioned in the
volume).The genetic link between members of the Jewish priestly tribe
(Kohanim) through their paternally inherited Y chromosome, proven by geneticists
Michael Hammer, Luca Cavalli-Sforza, Rambam Medical Center and Technion Prof.
Karl Skorecki and others is described in detail as well.Ostrer said that
his Jewish HapMap Project in New York City has so far shown "in exquisite detail
what had been conjectured for a century. Jewish populations from the major
Jewish Diaspora groups – Ashkenazi, Sephardic and Mizrahi – form a distinctive
population cluster that is closely related to Semitic and European populations.
Within this larger Jewish cluster, each of the Jewish populations formed its own
subcluster."A high degree of mixing of Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Italian and
Syrian Jews caused them to become more closely related to each other than they
were to Middle Eastern, Iraqi and Iranian Jews. This genetic split seemed to
have occurred about 2,500 years ago.The author uses his observations to
refute theories that Ashkenazi Jews are descendants of converted Khazars, a
semi-nomadic people living in medieval Eurasia who welcomed Jews to their midst.
He also reports that in addition to southern Europeans, the closest genetic
neighbors to most Jewish groups were the Palestinians, Israeli Beduin and Druse.
"The genetic clusters formed by each of these non-Jewish Middle Eastern groups
reflects their own histories of marrying within the group," he said.The
issue of "Jewish intelligence" that seems to come up every time members of the
"Chosen People" are awarded Nobel Prizes continues to be debated. There are
those who contend there is a genetic basis for IQ and those who claim it comes
from studiousness, from Torah learning and from the fact that Jews were held
back by discrimination from joining the top ranks of the arts and sciences but
rushed in after emancipation."Breeding, selection and education may all
have contributed to Jewish intellectual accomplishment, but so, too, did being
in the right place at the right time," and showing that they were worthy of
emancipation by excelling.The belief that Jews constitute a religious,
rather than ethnic or racial group in the US and other Western countries is
widespread."Jewish" was never a category for race in the US Census,
Ostrer notes, even though genetic studies "would seem to refute
this...Jewishness at a genetic level can be characterized as a tapestry
with the threads represented as shared segments of DNA and no single thread
required for composition of the tapestry," he writes.Genetic analysis of
Jews have high stakes, since being Jewish not only decides who belongs to the
family and can take part in Jewish life and earn Israeli citizenship but also
"touches on the heart of Zionist claims for a Jewish homeland in
Israel."Ostrer concludes his fascinating book by saying that much about
Jewish genetics remains unknown but will probably be discovered in the next few
decades as more is learned about susceptibility to diseases, origins and
genetics of positive traits."With Jews and non-Jews alike wanting to
know about their origins, ancestors and relatives, it will take its place in the
formation of group identity alongside shared spirituality, shared social values
and a shared cultural legacy."

Iran's official ISNA news service published photographs of the public amputation of a man's finger that took place on January 23 in the Islamic Republic. The photos released by ISNA show a bearded, blind-folded man being led to a machine that appears to resemble an industrial device or rotary saw. Reportedly, one of his digits was severed by the executioners in the city of Shiraz, who were wearing black hoods to conceal their identity. Shiraz's prosecutor, Ali Alghasi, vowed that punishment for crimes will become increasingly severe, even while he did not explain why.
Iran reveals machine to sever the fingers of convicted felons
The news agency alleged that he had been charged with robbery and adultery in the city located in Fars, a province in Iran's southwest. He was also an alleged ringleader of a criminal organization. Besides the amputation, the man was sentenced to receive 99 lashes, a common punishment in Iran, as well as three years in prison. The photographs of the convicted criminal do not reveal any emotion or suffering on his part. Even so, say some observers, he may have been drugged.
Four photographs released by the official news agency are being shared widely on social media networks. So far, no independent witnesses have come forward to verify the event. ISNA reported that the victim of the amputation is 29 years old. His name was given only as D.H.
The machine used by Iran to sever the man's finger had not been revealed to the world until now, surprisingly, by the Iranian official news agency. In recent months, Iranian authorities have made more and more of a spectacle of corporal and capital punishment. FRANCE 24 reported that human rights activist Mahmoud Amiry-Moghaddam, who is based in Norway, said that the Iranian government seeks to instill fear among Iranians as the presidential election approaches and thus prevent public protests.
On January 20, two thieves were hanged in public in Tehran, the Iranian capital. Thanks to evidence recorded by a CCTV camera, the pair was convicted of robbing a man at knifepoint and stealing the equivalent of 20 euros.
Amputation, scourging, and even death by stoning are all legal forms of punishment under sharia law that is enforced punctiliously by Iran's Islamic government. In recent years, men accused of having engaged in homosexual acts have been hung publicly in accordance with Muslim law.

If I could do it all over again I would earn a degree in public history and work for the National Park Service at a historic site. Over the past ten years I've had a number of opportunities to help out with various NPS projects and the work is always rewarding. It has given me the opportunity to work with some incredibly talented historians and passionate educators. On moving to Boston I decided to explore opportunities beyond the classroom and the NPS was high on that list. Over the past few weeks I've made some wonderful new friends in the NPS here in Boston and it looks like I will be involved in organizing events over the course of the next year for the Civil War sesquicentennial.
As for more permanent work, the response has been less than enthusiastic. It's not that my new contacts don't believe that I am qualified for most of their positions as an interpreter/educator; in fact, I've been told numerous times that I am over-qualified. The problem is with the hiring process and what comes up more than anything else is the veteran's preference. If I understand it correctly the federal government gives preference to candidates who have served in the military. If a veteran meets the minimum qualifications for a position he/she is given preference. I recently came up against this wall when I decided to apply for an entry-level position as an interpreter (GS-05).
I wonder if the Confederate Heritage folks will rally around Thomas Buhls, who earlier today tried to celebrate Confederate heritage in Indiana with a sign that read, "CELEBRATE YOUR WHITE HERITAGE." I have no idea whether Mr. Buhls is a native southerner, but of course that shouldn't matter much. Confederate heritage transcends race, gender, and region. Like Hunter Wallace, Buhls seems to embrace a narrative of the Confederacy that actually conforms to its history. That's right, the Confederacy was organized as a slaveholding republic built on white supremacy that was forced to fight for its independence and failed. Buhls and Wallace are much closer to the views of Alexander Stephens and other pro-Confederate nationalists than most heritage types today who water down and distort this history and fantasize that the Confederacy was some kind of experiment in civil rights. While I find their embrace of white supremacy to be utterly appalling, at least it is grounded in something that reflects Confederate history.
I was hoping that yesterday's post would not turn into another round of the same old back and forth over the cause of the war, but that is exactly what happened. Unfortunately, most of what is usually offered in such discussions lacks any serious analysis and/or context. I was hoping to encourage readers to share those books that have informed their understanding of the coming of secession and war. For what it's worth, here are a few of my favorites, though I could just as easily have chosen five others.
Feel free to add to this list.

Troubled RI city in receivership loses democracy
"We the people won't stand for this," he told the council.
Council President William Benson Jr. said: "We have no power."
In an unusual about face, Flanders' office suspended the ordinance a day later.
In an interview, Flanders noted that the state Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the receivership law under a challenge by four of the city's five councilors; the judge interpreted the statute to allow him broad authority beyond just finances. He said the city needed to be rescued - from itself - and that everything he's done is related in some way to its fiscal stability anyway.
"The law suspends the usual democratic process because the economic crisis that caused the city to be running out of cash - and having to go file for bankruptcy - needed drastic action," Flanders said.
"I'm sensitive to the fact that I am not an elected official, that I don't live in the city and that people are leery of a situation where one person ... has as much power as one person does to run the city and to try and right the economic ship of Central Falls," he added. "That's the law that the General Assembly passed and I have to say, it's working, from my view, remarkably well."
Central Falls started the current fiscal year with a $6 million deficit, and multi-million-dollar deficits were projected for coming years. Pfeiffer blamed budget problems on "unsustainable" pension and benefits costs and the lack of expected revenue from the Wyatt detention center; he also cited a "culture of government" in Central Falls that let deficits fester.
City officials have said a loss of state aid and declining tax revenues contributed greatly to the fiscal woes; they filed in court for a receiver themselves, saying the city was insolvent.
Outside the bankruptcy proceedings, Flanders has extracted major concessions from police and fire retirees and the city's unions. Gov. Lincoln Chafee, whose administration appointed Flanders, said this week the "fiscal hemorrhaging" has stopped.
Flanders wonders why Central Falls' elected officials aren't grateful for the work his office has done.
"There ought to be a few mirrors held up by some of the people doing the criticism," he said.
Flanders' initial contract, beginning in February, was for not more than $250,000 in compensation for a period of up to 12 months. But he was paid $30,000 a month through June, after which a new contract was signed. He has been paid $300,000 to Dec. 1, according to the governor's office.
The Central Falls mayor made nearly $72,000 annually before the salary was cut under the receivership to $26,000.
Municipal bankruptcies are relatively rare. In Harrisburg, Pa., a federal judge threw out a petition for bankruptcy filed last fall by the City Council. The state took over the capital's finances, but the mayor still runs the city and a court-appointed receiver is authoring a financial plan that will have to be approved by a judge. In Alabama, Jefferson County - home to Birmingham - in November filed the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history. A receiver runs the troubled sewer system's finances there.

Gary Allan, 'Pieces' – Song Review
If Gary Allan's chart-topper 'Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain)' was optimistic, his follow-up single 'Pieces' is downright plucky. The uptempo country-rocker may be the most contented single he's ever released.
If Gary Allan's chart-topper 'Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain)' was optimistic, his follow-up single 'Pieces' is downright plucky. The uptempo country-rocker may be the most contented single he's ever released.
"Optimism" is the word Tim McGraw uses to describe his new album 'Two Lanes of Freedom,' and despite a garnish of somber ballads and hopeless love stories, the singer is dead on. The project's production creates the buoyant mood that carries each of the 15 songs on the accelerated deluxe version. In fact, one's opinion of 'Two Lanes of Freedom' may rest on production decisions made by McGraw and Byron Gallimore.
Chris Janson's new single comes at you like a Mack Truck with a wild-eyed driver -- and it never lets up. 'Better I Don't' delivers in every way imaginable. It's a pure country original that promises to break the Missouri native's career like 'All My Friends Say' did for Luke Bryan in 2007.
Taylor Swift is No. 1 on the pop airplay charts this week with 'I Knew You Were Trouble,' so it was the perfect time for a few notable faces to share their renditions of what looks to become one of the music superstar's signature tunes.
Lady Antebellum aren't the only ones who had their eyes on the song 'Downtown,' their new single.
Greg Bates flashes a mischievous sense of humor in his new single 'Fill in the Blank.' The 'Did It for the Girl' hitmaker is proving to be from the George Strait school of music, but he must have taken a Master Class on Tracy Byrd somewhere along the way.
Kenny Chesney will wave his 'Pirate Flag' proudly next week as he releases the first single from his upcoming studio album to all digital outlets on Jan. 31.
"Polished" is not a word one would have used to describe Parmalee after the North Carolina foursome shared their debut single 'Musta Had a Good Time' in 2012, but the rowdy country rockers' follow-up single 'Carolina' is as radio-friendly of a track as you'll find. It's not clear that either style is a perfect fit for the Thomas brothers and their bandmates.
Lady Antebellum have never been funkier than on their new single 'Downtown' -- the first from the trio's upcoming fourth studio album. A guitar lick postmarked 1962 steers the song and pushes the band in an exciting new direction.
Jason Aldean's 'The Only Way I Know' lyric video travels far, but it does so without him! Actually, none of the country superstars who lend their voices to the song -- that'd be Luke Bryan and Eric Church in addition to Aldean -- appear in this clip, which is not uncommon for a lyric video, which is merely meant to pump fans up on the song and help them learn the words.

The Eastern Oregon football squad was picked to finish fourth in the Frontier Conference Coaches' Poll.
By Josh Benham
A familiar face is on top of the Frontier Conference preseason coaches' poll, but Eastern Oregon is lurking in strong position to make a run for the crown.
Carroll College was picked to defend its conference championship Tuesday at the Frontier Conference media days held in Whitefish, Mont. The Fighting Saints went 12-1 in 2013, sporting a 9-1 Frontier record to win the conference. Carroll received 49 points in the coaches' poll, including seven first-place votes on Tuesday.

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.

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies. Nest, a Google company, detects temperatures inside homes and automatically adjusts it by tracking its user's habit. These technologies are quickly developing and with it come challenges such as bridging infrastructure gaps, abiding by privacy concerns and making the concept a reality. These challenges can't be addressed w...

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...

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

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...

Explosive growth in connected devices. Enormous amounts of data for collection and analysis. Critical use of data for split-second decision making and actionable information. All three are factors in making the Internet of Things a reality. Yet, any one factor would have an IT organization pondering its infrastructure strategy. How should your organization enhance its IT framework to enable an Internet of Things implementation? In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, James Kirkland, Chief Architect for the Internet of Things and Intelligent Systems at Red Hat, described how to revolutioniz...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

We gave our Margarete Top the black and white theme, to really bring out the contrast in between the piping and the white lace. We ended up finishing it with another black sash around the hem, simply a ribbon stitched to the bottom of the top. The ribbons can be closed in a big bow right over the bottom of the zipper.

That looks so comfortable, and great for layering under jackets come Fall…

we added the ribbon on the bottom ourselves, it's not in the pattern, but we felt it would dress it up and make the black piping pop more…

So the ribbon is part of the top? Wow! That's really classy…
