Enterprises always have various data sources, for instance, CRM system may use SQL Server, sales reports adopt Excel, ERP applies Oracle database. When it comes to actual business analysis, enterprises usually need to conduct interactive computation, including filter, group, etc among various data environments. But data Interaction between multiple data sources are not easy to realize with some traditional statistical computing tools. In order to solve such kind of problems, esProc which adapts to various data environments comes into being.
Support of various data sources is an outstanding ability of esProc to solve the above mentioned problems. Data source that supported by esProc could be the database driving by JDBC. esProc is able to access such kind of databases through their JDBC interface. Besides, esProc provides a standard JDBC interface, allowing esProc to be called as an embedded database by outside applications like JAVA and reports. Analysts can call esProc for complex computation of mass data which is difficult to be conducted by JAVA. This adds great flexibility to analysts' work.
Sequence files that are not stored in database such as Excel and Txt are also supported by esProc. Due to the ease of use and powerful functions, Excel becomes a widely used tool by salespersons, accountants and decision makers for data computing and analytics. Built-in Excel support of esProc can read data in Excel and export data to Excel. What's more, some scattered data including the quickly and temporarily recorded data by scientific researchers during fast experiments can be read and analyzed by esProc. Other fragmented data which is recorded in mobile phone can also be accessed by esProc.
However, industries like finance, telecommunications, scientific research as well as national security defense have many old systems without common database access interface and support limited formats for data import and export. But these old systems usually support the most used Txt files, including those with extended names, such as ini, log, property and etc. esProc is capable of reading and exporting data from these old interfaces. In addition, esProc can access data in security systems which can't be accessed directly due to outside interface lack and can only be approached through indirect interface.
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.

BPA, TVA, Salt River: Playing Fair in Power Markets?
exchange from the latter's zonal pricing plan to handle congestion, a policy that could end up shifting costs among BPA's customers.
On July 30, 1997, in the same order in which it rejected the "Special Settlement Rule" for BPA, the FERC approved in principle a two-part transmission pricing regime for the California ISO and PX. That two-part rate included usage charge (based upon adjustment bids by scheduling coordinators) and a congestion charge to account for constraints on interfaces between transmission zones. The congestion fee was to reflect the marginal value on the congested interface, defined in terms of hypothetical redispatch costs that would be incurred to boost the scheduling limit for the interface by some small incremental amount.
According to Jim Kritikson, PX scheduling director, the ISO conducts an auction for use of the transmission in which everyone, including the owner, bids for use of the capacity. The bids for use of the transmission capacity are provided through a complex process of adjustment bids associated with initial preferred schedules submitted by each auction participant.
The initial preferred schedules indicate how the generators would be scheduled to supply the energy they have sold in an energy auction, and where and how the buyers of the energy would like to take delivery. The transmission auction awards use of the transmission to the highest bidders. The lowest winning bid establishes the auction price for winning bidders.
The auction, price, or congestion charge, as it is also called, produces a congestion revenue for the ISO. The revenues collected by the ISO in this manner are credited against the transmission rate base revenue requirement of the transmission owner.
As the FERC observed, the congestion pricing regime was expected to create incentives to locate new load on the low-cost (export) side of transmission constraints, and new generation on the high-cost (import) side. But a more important question was: What would congestion pricing mean for BPA customers?
The FERC gave final approval for the California ISO and PX last fall, but not before at least one BPA customer, San Francisco's Bay Area Rapid Transit, had sought unsuccessfully to win an exemption from paying congestion fees for transmission.
In fact, several municipal customers had questioned congestion pricing. The cities of Santa Clara, Redding and Palo Alto argued that congestion pricing could create "improper cost shifts among customer groups." BART had argued that it had entered into long-term take-or-pay contracts for preference power from BPA in reliance on transmission pricing based on average embedded costs. It added that California restructuring law (Cal. Public Utilities Code Sec. 701.8) gave it a special protected status as well. The FERC, however, would not budge. It made room for further negotiation, but stuck to its congestion pricing idea: "Rather than order the ISO to conform its tariff to fit BPA's historical practices, [we support] the ongoing collaborative process as the best alternative." 81 FERC ¶ 61,122, Oct. 30, 1997.
Lately the PX has continued to fine-tune its congestion pricing model. Recently the FERC approved amendments filed on March 18 to address a "potential gaming problem"

Conference Paper
ACoAR: a method for the automatic classification of annotated resources.
DOI: 10.1145/1597735.1597772 Conference: Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Knowledge Capture (K-CAP 2009), September 1-4, 2009, Redondo Beach, California, USA
Source: DBLP
ABSTRACT We propose a classification method that automatically classifies annotated resources under the concepts of a classification system represented by an ontology. We use two well known systems used to classify web pages, del.icio.us for the folksonomy information and DMOZ for an existing ontology, to validate the method. Results obtained provide a correct classification rate of resources of 78%, rising to 93% when using an adequate threshold.
Conference Paper: A self-adapting method for knowledge management in collaborative and social tagging systems.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper presents an automatic method to group resources of collaborative-social tagging systems in semantic categories. The main goal is to self-adapt the system to represent the current knowledge.Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Knowledge Capture (K-CAP 2011), June 26-29, 2011, Banff, Alberta, Canada; 01/2011

ABSTRACT: This paper presents conceptual assumptions about the interaction between the structural specificities of a thesaurus and the quality of a thesaurus-based application output. So far hardly any literature exists that discusses thesaurus modelling requirements with respect to the following thesaurus-specific application areas: classifying, indexing, autocom-plete, query expansion, recommendation and glossaries. By looking at these application areas the authors compare the structural attributes of SKOS and discuss their functional relevance. The authors conclude that taking these assumptions into account can significantly support application-oriented thesaurus modelling hence incrementally improving thesaurus-based applications in terms of modelling scope and effort. An empirical testing of these assumptions is subject to future work.Proceedings the 7th International Conference on Semantic Systems, I-SEMANTICS 2011, Graz, Austria, September 7-9, 2011; 01/2011

Rated 5 out of 5 by eslpeth best ever hair tool, so easy to use smooth edges glide through the hair . this hair tool has a sleek design your hair never catches. i have used ghd for about 8 years, they last a long time excellent quality i use it 2-3 times a week on very thick wavy ,curly hair, my hair stayes straight, i just wizz over it sometimes with a blow drier after sleeping my hair gets slightly curled at the back - nape of neck ,wouldnt be without a ghd. 26 May 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jaspert2 Very pleased I changed to GHD. Everyone kept saying GHD straighteners were the best and that I should try them but as I was quite happy with the ones I had it took me a long time to do it. Now that I have I wish I'd done it sooner. At the moment my hair isn't that much different with GHD but it is so much quicker to style it and I only have to do it once so I think that it will be so much better for the condition of my hair. Very pleased I eventually changed to GHD 25 May 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sibbles recent purchase Have been a long time GHD user. Purchased another brand overseas last year. Goo but NOT GHD. This is why when I have returned to GHD. Thanks for a great product. 25 May 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Whatokim Easy to use GHD has always been great quality. An awesome straightener for all hair types. Only down side is as the years pass & GHD bring out new models they don't seem to last as long or get to the temperatures they used to. My last 3 GHD's have just passed there 2 year warranty & just stopped working. 20 May 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rose9591 A miracle!! :) :) I have long thick hair and this hair straightener only takes five minutes to do all my hair. Well worth the money, and the straightening lasts for a few days too. 18 May 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by analieseb Excellent Product I waited to get this product for a long time and am completely happy with my purchase. Would highly recommend it for all hair types. 8 May 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Carlie86 Amazing Product I've found the ghd straightener so much better compared to other brand's. It leaves my hair with less flyaway,smother and stays straight for the day. If you don't have a ghd I recommend you get one as it's worth the money. 6 May 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Rhonda21 The GHD is a product that fits perfectly in my hand. GHD has been a major part of my life for the past five years. I have a lot of natural curls but prefer to wear my hair straight, sometimes with a hint of a GHD made curl. However I recently had to replace my original GHD IV with a new one. I am sorry to say it is not as good as the previous one. It is as if it doesn't straighten as well because it doesn't 'clasp' the hair between the tongs as tight. Having very curly,thick, frizzy hair I have come to rely on the quick way it smooths my hair. Unfortunately this new one lets me down. Up until this new product I had no problems with recommending the GHD IV. Unfortunately based on this new product I don't think I can. 5 May 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Macwick Love it This is my first hair straightener and I love it. It heats up really quick and does what it is supposed to do. The design where the cord goes into the body of the styler will ensure it lasts a long time, instead of compromising the contact with wear and tear. 3 May 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jodie71 Simple and easy to use This traditional styler is easy to use, no fuss and leaves hair straight and feeling great. Couldnt live without it! 27 April 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ladybug This product is good Not as good as I thought yet but I have been advised by a friend that it takes a good six weeks to burn in before it will work really well. I will persist, I do have wild hair so I hope eventually my GHD will tame it. 24 April 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gailee the Delivery was very quick and well packaged. The GHD hair straightener has a couple of fantastic features, it turns its self off after a certain time if you accidentaly leave it on, i find that very helpful, it also heats up very quickly and bips when its ready and it is kind to your your, it leaves it very soft and smooth. 24 April 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anne14 Sleek and does the Job I love my GHD it makes my hair Straight and Doesn't pull 22 April 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ahill ghd iv I had this ghd in the past and it lasted me for number of years. I have then purchased limited edition cherry blossom and was really disappointed because it felt like a cheap straightener. It was pulling my hair and in the end I didn't end up using it. I then had to buy another one of the same original ghd . So just wondering why is ghd making new version of good old ghd? 21 April 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by didee excellent im in my early 50's and over the past few years my hair has started to change it has become coarse and harder to manage. But since using my ghd im finding my hair is easier to manage and looks soft and shiny when straightened. 20 April 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by saz1979 overall pleased with product Lovely product and easy to use. Don't seem to get as hot as the ones my hairdresser uses ( she has the same ones). 19 April 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by lucylou170 This product should have come standard with a travel heat resistant bag Had trouble with the straightener sticking to the ends of the hair. 18 April 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Blossie GHD hair straighteners Bought to replace my 8 year old stylers. The new oneks are amazing. I wouldn't use anything else on my hair. Also the customer service is second to none. 13 April 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by harman performance product is performing good.. i really like it.. only thing is that my hairs are too frizzy and they got rough after straightening.. 11 April 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ngin93 Amazing!! The GHD IV Styler, I have previously purchased is amazing, we all have our bad hair days, but with the touch of a button, I can straighten my hair and run out the door. My hair is rather thick, and frizzy, however the straightener does wonders, making my hair healthy and volumed. Honestly, have no regret since buying it. Will never look back on purchasing other straighteners. 9 April 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kee76 Excellent performance I'm so glad I purchased them!! I have curly locks and they glide over over my hair with no snagging, leaving it super straight and shiny, I'd recommend them to anyone. 8 April 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Sgracie Plates don't touch I recently purchased a new GHD as my old one was dropped and subsequently broke. Unfortunately, the new one is not as good. The heat plates only touch each other at one end of the straightener, meaning that there is a 2mm gap between both plates for most of the length. This becomes problematic when trying to style thin pieces of hair, as the GDH can't "grip" the strands. If this is a new design feature then I am very disappointed. 2 April 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Joanna14 You cant go past a GHD! It is rewarding to get value for money and with my GHD IV styler that is exactly what I got. Thank you GHD for making life a little easier. 1 April 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jess1993 easy to plug in and it works better on my hair I love how it works on my hiar makes it flat and not frizzy , it feels great, myfriend had the first ghd and used it on my hair and it was great so I really wanted a ghd so my mum got it for me for my 21st birthday the iv and I love it, im so glad its a better hair straighter then the oter brands , thank you , people who dont have a ghd get one 31 March 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kitty91 Love it! I bought it after my last one blew up. I'm totally in love with it. 31 March 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Beckles The best of the best I would never use any other product other than GHD to straighten and curl my hair! It leaves a professional finish on my hair and I don't even need to visit a hair salon to achieve this, I always rely on my GHD. 30 March 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by EmiilyDawn High quality product! My new ghd styler has made a massive difference to my hair, I have always purchased cheap straighteners that burnt my hair and took forever to heat up, until now. Without a doubt definitely worth the money, even my colleagues have commented on how much better my hair looks! I'll never go for generic brand hair stylers again! 29 March 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 Does what it states Excellent for taming my unruly waves. Excellent gift to give or receive 28 March 2014

text: Home > Medical > Malaria > News 12 November 2012 Setback for African malaria vaccine trial The world's first potential malaria vaccine proved only 30% effective in African babies in a crucial phase III trial. 0 Assess Life expectancy » Quiz Would you survive disaster? » Join Body Talk » Ask EnviroHealth Expert » Malaria, an African story 4 fascinating animal facts The world's first potential malaria vaccine proved only 30% effective in African babies in a crucial phase III trial, calling into question whether it can be a useful weapon in the fight against the deadly disease. The surprisingly poor result for the vaccine, which GlaxoSmithKline has been developing for three decades, leaves several years of work ahead before a protective malaria shot could be ready for countries that desperately need one. Philanthropist Bill Gates, who helped fund the GSK vaccine's development, said further research was now needed to see whether and how it might be used. "The efficacy came back lower than we had hoped, but developing a vaccine against a parasite is a very hard thing to do," he said in a statement. How the study was done In the study of 6 537 babies aged six to 12 weeks, the vaccine provided "modest protection," reducing episodes of the disease by 30% compared to immunisation with a control vaccine, researchers said. That efficacy rate a year after vaccination is less than half the 65% in an earlier trial in babies that analysed protection rates after six months. It is also a lot less than the 50% seen in 5- to 17-month-olds. Vaccinating babies, rather than toddlers, is the preferred option, since the new vaccine could then be added to other routine infant immunizations. A separate program for older children would involve a lot of extra costs. Eleanor Riley, a professor of immunology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine said the results showed that GSK's vaccine, called RTS,S or Mosquirix, is potentially useful, but "not the complete solution". "The slightly lower than expected efficacy will ... affect the cost-benefit analysis that health providers and funders will have to undertake before deciding whether the vaccine represents the best use of limited financial resources," she said. More positive data needed Despite the setback, Britain's top drug maker said it would push ahead with developing RTS,S and GSK Chief Executive Andrew Witty said it could be an important tool in fighting malaria. "We've been at this for 30 years, and we're certainly not going to give up now," he told reporters on a conference call. GSK does not expect to make any profit from the vaccine, which would only be sold in poor countries. Witty reiterated a promise that if RTS,S is ultimately approved for market, it would be priced at cost of manufacture plus a 5% margin, and the margin would be reinvested by GSK in malaria research. Given the target market, it is governments and international groups that will fund the vaccine's roll-out, and they now need more positive data before deciding whether it is worth buying. "We will have to have more information to give us a clearer idea as to how useful this vaccine will be," said Seth Berkley, CEO of the GAVI Alliance, which funds bulk-buy vaccination programmes for poorer nations. In particular, Berkley said he wanted to see longer-term data, including the effect of booster shots, and an analysis of how the vaccine performed in different settings. Details of the malaria trial, which is Africa's largest ever clinical trial involving almost 15 500 children in seven countries, were presented at the International African Vaccinology Conference in Cape Town. Witty said he would have liked to have seen efficacy rates of around 50% in infants, but stressed that more data would become available before the trial ends in 2014 which may throw more light on why rates of success are so variable. "It may open up a more customised approach to how this potential vaccine gets used," he said.

offtake agreement,
Kipoi copper project,
Mark Burton
LONDON Swiss trader Gerald Metals SA has agreed to provide a $50-million advanced payment facility to Australias Tiger Resources Ltd. in return for the supply of 100,000 tonnes of electrowon copper cathodes beginning in the second quarter of next year.
Tiger will use the facility to fund the completion of its solvent extraction-electrowinning (SX-EW) plant at the Kipoi copper project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the company told investors Oct. 17.
After commissioning in the second quarter of 2014, Morges, Switzerland-based Gerald will receive 2,000 tonnes per month under the offtake deal during the first phase of production, and 2,500 tonnes per month after a proposed expansion that will take the plants capacity to 50,000 tonnes per year.
Tiger expects Kipoi, which came online in 2011, to produce 35,000 tonnes of copper in concentrate annually during the first three years of operation, after which it will switch to refined SX-EW production, according to the companys website.
The company is on track to produce 41,000 to 43,000 tonnes of copper in concentrate in 2013, it said earlier this week.
As of the end of the third quarter, Tiger had stockpiled ore containing 115,300 tonnes of copper for use in the SX-EW operation, the company said Oct. 15.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?
If your romantic mate says, "it's me instead of you", read this post carefully. He or she may be a narcissist, and thus incapable of healthy relating. Today's post is about what you must give up to date a narcissist.
Let's define what a narcissist is, first. Do you recall the myth of Narcissus? One day he saw an image of himself reflected in a pool of water. He was so captivated by his own beauty that he stared at his reflection for days, forgetting to eat, drink, and sleep so that he died.

I read Bill Nye's defence of why he chose to engage in a debate with Ken Ham. While I think the biggest risk was that a Bill Nye defeat would somehow restart the old "Creationist Wars", his arguments put him squarely in the victory camp.
But his defence also makes sense, even though Ken Ham may have profited monetarily, Bill Nye probably sowed the seeds of sufficient doubt to encourage children and indeed parents to start questioning the applied theology of creationism. [Read more…]

NFL Nation: suspensions
Will Steelers soften their stance?
But will the Steelers soften their stance? Pittsburgh's biggest strength is its physicality and aggressiveness. It's a major part of the team's identity and storied history.
The Steelers led the league in run defense by a wide margin last season and intimidated quarterbacks with an NFL-best 48 sacks. But according to Anderson, many of those big hits that resulted in fines and personal fouls could lead to suspensions in 2011, which would hurt Pittsburgh in subsequent games.
The Steelers were not shy about venting their frustration. In February they seemed to enjoy using the league's biggest platform -- the Super Bowl -- to call out the NFL. Linebacker James Harrison, last season's most-fined player, suggested the league provide pillows on the field for players he tackled. Harrison's teammates joined in the fray throughout Super Bowl week, complaining how the league has softened.
Unless the Steelers themselves decide to play softer, we could be heading for another collision course. It's hard to change a team's identity overnight. So expect more controversy, fines and verbal jousting between Pittsburgh and the NFL in 2011.
Can McAllister, Smith make any difference for Saints?
Posted by ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas
The suspensions of Deuce McAllister, Will Smith and Charles Grant have been blocked -- at least temporarily -- by a federal judge. But that doesn't mean there should be any more celebrating than usual in the French Quarter.
This is only a small victory for New Orleans and it may not last long. The judge said he needs more information and time. That buys the Saints a little bit of time because it looks like McAllister and Smith will be eligible to play in Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Does it really matter?
A few years ago, it would have been huge because McAllister was New Orleans' best player. But he's been nothing more than a role player this year. Sure, it would be nice if he's completely cleared so his legacy as perhaps the best and most popular player in franchise history can live peacefully forever. But whether McAllister plays in Sunday's game isn't going to make that much of a difference.
Smith is actually a bigger deal because he's a starting defensive end. So was Grant, but he already went out for the season with an injury. So, basically, the advantage here for the 6-6 Saints is that they get to play Smith as they cling to their playoff hope.
Is that really going to be enough to get them to the playoffs?
McAllister, Smith still expected to play Sunday
Posted by ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas
LONDON, England -- What had been a very quiet week for the New Orleans Saints suddenly ended about the time the team left the castle it was using as headquarters in the English countryside and checked into a London hotel late Friday afternoon.
The reports that running back Deuce McAllister and defensive end Will Smith are among a group of players to test positive for a substance banned by the NFL came after both players practiced at The Grove in Watford on Friday morning.
The league and the Saints haven't commented on the reports, but it appears certain McAllister and Smith will play in Sunday's game against the Chargers at Wembley Stadium. Even if McAllister and Smith face possible suspensions, it wouldn't happen before Sunday's game.
The league generally follows a procedure where suspensions are announced early in the week to allow teams to prepare for playing without those players. If McAllister and Smith were going to be suspended for this game, the league wouldn't have let them make the trip to England.
McAllister, a longtime starter at running back, had been replaced by Reggie Bush this season. But Bush had knee surgery Monday and McAllister is expected to start and get most of the carries against the Saints.

Mera looks like she got her wardrobe ideas from Street Fighter Alpha.
ThanosIsMad's forum posts
She was too skinny before she bulked up. She looks fine now.
The most surprising thing is that she has flat heels, which is in contrast to how Finch has drawn her since the DCnU started. I like.
And his art is sexy regardless.
Because no super powered person or group is going to stop poverty or greed. Since they're not doing that, they're not going to stop crime regardless of their abilities.
As fast as he needs to be. Based on the general showings of speedsters or people with super speed in general, I take them as mentally capping their speed as the need arises, which explains why Superman is fast enough to catch bullets one second but is slow enough to be tagged by someone like Mammoth, who has no real speed. Toss him in a fight with say, Wonder Woman or another Kryptonian and he'll regulate his body accordingly.
This theory of mine was somewhat confirmed during the Grounded storyline where Superman had to consciously speed up his level of perception because Barry-Flash was moving and talking faster than he could register prior to the mental adjustments.
I don't read Cap but if it isn't Steve carrying the shield the only person who deserves to in my mind is Bucky. Steve looked up to Bucky when he was just a scrawny kid, and then Bucky looked up to Steve as Cap. They've both learned from and supported each other, and really it's the only one that does Steve's legacy justice. I know Bucky has been Cap before, but that should even further solidify why he should carry the mantle.
Actually, Steve never looked up to Bucky in the mainstream, 616 universe. Bucky was the one who always looked up to Cap. Only in the ultimate universe and the movie universe was Bucky the "big brother" of the two.
We all know it's the Falcon. Fine, make him the new Captain for the time being. What I don't get is why the hell did Steve age? For all intents, he was in stasis and was preserved by the SSS. The lack of it shouldn't have logically made him age into a 90 year old.
Prior to the reboot, he was active for like 15-20 years, so it's easy to believe that anything he didn't know right at the beginning of his career, he learned over the course of it. Realistically, several fighting styles seem to overlap in terms of form and technique, so it's not that much of a stretch to think that Batman became skilled in one and glanced at some other related/similar arts and gleaned some moves to incorporate into his style. In regards to his smarts, that could be attributed to being wealthy and fortunate enough to afford the best schooling, so when he wasn't physically training as a teenager, he was book learning.
Not to mention, Bruce learned via unorthodox means. Most people, when they train and learn martial arts, they have downtime. They do things to relax and have families that they go to spend time with and friends they associate with; Bruce went off the grid and pretty much trained non-stop for years with people who didn't necessarily train the way most masters would train a pupil. Not unreasonable to believe that under such extreme training regimen, someone could master a fighting style relatively quickly.
But he also lives in a universe with beings who defy physics, and that includes normal humans who're aren't nearly as smart and aren't as well versed in as many fighting styles as Batman. The rules of his universe shows that someone who spends the right amount of time and studies under the right people can become polygots, polymaths, and become one of the best melee fighters on the planet.
That's an ugly ass logo.
I hate fake Ultimate Nick Fury
you are not the only one.
Seriously. Worst addition to mainstream Marvel in years.

Georgia's biggest question mark heading into preseason practices will probably be its offensive line, but an impact freshman will get a chance to be the latest rookie to crack the Bulldogs' starting lineup up front.
"We've had some success in the past," coach Mark Richt said.
Freshman John Theus from Jacksonville, Fla., could do what Cordy Glenn, Ben Jones, Trinton Sturdivant and Clint Boling did in their first seasons on campus: start.
"We're not afraid to start a true freshman lineman," Richt said. "I would say John Theus in high school was probably farther advanced than any of those guys. Ben Jones was pretty salty coming out of the box. He'll have a chance to win a starting position. More than likely it will be at tackle. We'll wait and see what he does."
Georgia lost three starters up front in Glenn, Jones and Justin Anderson. Theus was rated as the nation's No. 7 recruit by Scout.com, No. 23 by Rivals.com and No. 28 by ESPN.com.
Most of Georgia's incoming freshmen are expected on campus by June 4.

LOS ANGELES—Christina Trauthwein, editor, Hotel Business and Hotel Business Design, will interview Ian Schrager, founder and chairman, Ian Schrager Co. on center stage during the Boutique Hotel Investment Conference. The event will be held June 4 at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) Auditorium in New York City.
This conference, organized and powered by the Boutique & Lifestyle Lodging Association (BLLA), was established to focus on the capital investment and financing side of the boutique lifestyle hotel sector. The program includes a keynote from industry icon Horst Schultze, who defined the luxury hotel experience through his long tenure as president of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Co. (now CEO of Capella Hotels), and on-stage interviews with Eric Danziger—the newly named CEO of lifestyle brand, Hampshire Hotels, and past CEO of the Wyndham Hotel Co.—and Ian Schrager, CEO of the Ian Schrager Co..

Tags: Ian Schrager • Christina Trauthwein • boutique • BLLA • Hospitality • Investment Conferences •
For the past few years, the talk of The Lodging Conference in Phoenix had been focused on the economic recovery, solid industry projections and "cautious optimism." With the word cautious no longer necessary, the economic outlook took a backseat this year to the seemingly unending parade of new lifestyle brands.

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.
