BitYota, a new Silicon Valley-based start-up, today emerged from stealth mode by unveiling its data warehouse-as-a-service on Amazon Web Services (AWS) at the inaugural AWS re:Invent Conference. Hand selected by AWS to be spotlighted at the conference, BitYota is designed to run on cloud infrastructure without compromising functionality or scalability. BitYota's service will first be available on Amazon Web Services (AWS) with expansion plans in the future.
Built from the ground up, BitYota unites the feature-rich functionality of a full-scale data warehouse with the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of Amazon's cloud infrastructure empowering any company to unleash the value of their data to gain insights and make better business decisions.
"Companies across every spectrum have an undeniable need to use data to unlock new sources of economic value but relatively few companies have invested sufficient time, money or people to do this right," said Dev Patel, CEO, BitYota. "We believe that data and analytics should be broadly accessible to everyone inside the company and it shouldn't take a fortune to analyze data. I'm proud to say today BitYota launched a data warehouse as-a-service that allows just that. We are a cost-effective, self-managing and intuitive service that empowers users to work with their own data in familiar ways, with little retooling or disruption."
BitYota offers a fundamentally improved approach for those looking to harness the power of Big Data analytics. Key features include:
- Affordable SaaS: Customers no longer have headaches about hardware provisioning, maintaining homogeneous configurations; software versions, upgrades and installations; database administrators to manage and maintain the throughput of workloads; advance planning for growth and burst needs; and concurrent users.
- One-Click Data Integration: Customers can load data from varied data sources such as S3, NoSQL stores and RDBMS, allowing them to easily and quickly combine all their data including event logs, user profiles, transactions, etc., in a single place in the Cloud. BitYota auto-detects varying data formats and schemas; understands the rate of arrival/change of new data and seamlessly loads it on a pre-determined schedule.
- Fast Analytics at Scale using Familiar Tools: BitYota's patent-pending massively parallel analytics engine enables analysis over the "fresh," full-detail data. It works within the existing ecosystem of programming languages and BI tools; supports SQL92 natively and also integrates via an industry-standard ODBC API with popular Business Intelligence tools and dashboards to visualize results. Access is via industry standard languages and tools to analyze data without needing an intermediary or new language skills.
"A key focus area for AWS is to help companies get started by offering a technology infrastructure with no capital expense and low pay as you go pricing, and providing a technology platform with a broad functionality and global scale," said Ariel Kelman, Head of Worldwide Marketing, AWS. "This year, at the first AWS re:Invent conference, we have pushed 'getting started' to a new level by creating a dynamic, live stage environment for start-up companies to launch publicly for the first time. We're excited to have BitYota participate and launch their next generation data warehouse-as-a-service on AWS."
"Agnitus' gaming model consists of multiple games that are tailored to the individual learning habits of each child. Before BitYota, it was incredibly challenging to extract meaningful data to understand how children are progressing as they play," said Lance Vikaros, Executive Director of Education at Agnitus, a leading developer of touch enabled learning apps for children. "BitYota enables us to fully customize data queries directly, making it easy to generate reports anytime and anywhere the company needs. Fast, customized reporting means that I can focus less on data management and more on understanding how to improve our games to better support children's success in school."

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

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

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...

We understand why theaters around the nation — and indeed the world — have ramped up security since the Aurora shootings that left 12 dead and many injured. Some moviegoers will undoubtedly be jittery for a time. Meanwhile, there is always a minor risk of copy-cat behavior so long as the memory of any tragedy is still fresh in everyone's mind.
Over the long term, however, there is reason to wonder whether heightened security would actually thwart a determined and calculating killer, and thus whether the cost would be worthwhile.
To be sure, both jittery patrons and copy cats have been on display in the days since the Aurora massacre.
According to NBC News, for example, "about 100 moviegoers in Edgewater, N.J., were evacuated from a showing of 'The Dark Knight Rises' after a patron saw a man opening an emergency exit."
Such a sight might alarm anyone, given how the Aurora killer allegedly left and then re-entered the theater after the show started.
Then there was the man in Norwalk, Calif., who was arrested after shouting about a gun during a screening of the same movie, saying, "I should go off like in Colorado."
Over time, though, both jitters and the mimicry will subside. And then?
If theaters are able to provide more security on a permanent basis at modest cost and without any significant impact on either ticket prices or the freedom and convenience of patrons — no metal detectors, for heaven's sake — then we say fine. But otherwise, we would hate to see a lone gunman's depraved act of violence end up penalizing millions of moviegoers who merely seek a brief refuge from the stresses of everyday life.
And with so many home entertainment options available, people would simply stop going to a theater with any frequency if security became a nuisance or drove prices too high.
In a story Tuesday by The Denver Post's Douglas Brown, a consultant who has worked with movie theaters suggested the economics of theaters dictates against establishing a system with truly effective security. "Without the general public paying as much as 50 percent more for a ticket, I don't see how a theater could stay open," Howard Levinson said.
If Levinson's estimate is even close to correct, the tradeoff sounds unwise. No activity is entirely safe, but going to a movie has been and very likely will remain safer than most.

Known Thug Alec Baldwin Claims U.S. 'Will Never Be Great Again' Under Romney
Alec Baldwin is warning the country. "America will never be great again under a Romney administration," the volatile actor sonorously intoned in a recent, rambling Huffington Post screed.
If Mitt Romney is elected, Baldwin tells us, only "rich people" will find the country great. "Everyone else will be asked to dial down their [sic] expectations of what it means to be an American, again," he warns.
It is clear that Mr. Baldwin isn't paying attention to his fellow Americans because as a nation we are already lowering our expectations for the future. We are doing so right now, under Barack Obama.
Let's see how Americans feel under Obama's regime:
- But a scant 16 percent see a better future for their kids in Obama's America
- Only 41 percent think the U.S. economy will get stronger in the near future
- A clear majority, 60 percent feel the country is in a recession
- A full 58 percent feel that the country is headed in the wrong direction
It looks to me, Mr. 30 Rock, like the country has already downgraded its expectations of the future and have done so under the very man you want re-elected!
But, Baldwin is dismissive of Obama's destruction. Baldwin has decided that Obama isn't "any more of a socialist than his predecessors."
We can take Baldwin's warning seriously, of course, because, why, he's a serious man. After all, he is a man well-known for verbally abusing his own daughter, physically attacking fans and photographers, and being thrown off planes for refusing to observe FAA safety procedures.>

Whether they were rescued, found themselves in the lap of luxury, sported a real Olympic medal or walked the bride down the aisle in a headline-grabbing wedding, all of these star-studded pets were winners this year.
Check out our gallery to see why these celebrity pets made news in 2012.
Twitter via KarlLagerfeld
Ahh, to be Choupette. First, she's clearly one adorable white fluff ball. But she also had the good fortune to become the beloved (and amazingly spoiled) pet of the iconic Chanel designer. Karl Lagerfeld admitted in a magazine interview this year that Choupette eats at the table with him and has two maids who record her every move so that he doesn't miss a thing about her day.
Instagram via katiemheigl
Actress Katherine Heigl readily admitted to USA Today that she's a "mad dog lady." And she can prove it: She has seven pups at home. (Above is her dog Oscar with her daughter, Adalaide.) The animal activist's Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, named for a brother who died as a child, aims to "eliminate the needless suffering inflicted on animals."
Facebook via Mutt Nation
The country crooner owns nine dogs, but that hasn't stopped her from helping more! This year, she rescued one puppy from a ditch, then managed to find homes for six German Shorthaired Pointer puppies she found outside an Oklahoma day care center. Once the last pup was adopted, she tweeted, "If you weren't able to get one of these sweet angels..please visit your local shelter! Don't forget..love a shelter pet!"
Twitter via TaylorSwift13
Another country girl, Taylor Swift, is (much) more of a cat person. This year, she has shared plenty of photos and videos of the kitty she adores, Meredith — and they've quickly gone viral. The Scottish Fold is named for Meredith Grey, the character played by Ellen Pompeo on Grey's Anatomy. And we imagine she's the inspiration for the cat-themed fashions Swift has showcased this year, too!
Twitpic via Sherri Shepherd
Comedian and host of The View Sherri Shepherd knew what she wanted when she searched online for a rescue dog: a black Lab. "I specifically wanted a Lab because I had a Lab who passed away at 12," she told People. "And I wanted a black dog because there is something called Black Dog Syndrome. Black dogs are the last to be adopted [because] when you take a picture of them in their cages, they look menacing behind the bars." Now, 3-year-old Ashley — who's going to be renamed Chloe but is currently known as "Ashley-Chloe" — is happy at home in New York with Shepherd.
Facebook via Beast the Dog
Some dogs get to take part in their owners' nuptials, but how many get to walk the bride down the aisle for one of the year's most high-profile weddings? Beast, the shaggy Puli with more than 1 million Facebook fans, played that role for Priscilla Chan when she married longtime love and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Twitter via MarthaStewart
He may not have won Best in Show, but domestic diva Martha Stewart's Chow Chow, Genghis Khan, aka G.K., won plenty of attention while competing at this year's Westminster Dog Show. G.K. was Best of Breed but didn't advance to be a group winner. There's always next year, G.K.!
Twitter via JimmyFallon
The Late Night host's penchant for Golden Retrievers was already clear — he'd become known for having them on the show as "puppy predictors," to weigh in on the outcomes of events including the Super Bowl and the Academy Awards. So, perhaps we could have predicted that he'd end up bringing home one of his own! By the time the presidential election came around, his Golden pup, Gary, was the one doing the predicting — though, um, not correctly, as it turned out.
Twitter via HannahSpears
The pop star and X Factor judge also brought a new puppy home this year — and quickly introduced her to Twitter. Tiny @HannahSpears had nearly 25,000 followers in just a matter of weeks. From Hannah's tweets, there are a few hints that the mom of two boys may be doting on this little girl. "Anyone seen my leopard dress? I can't find it anywhere," Hannah asked this month.
Twitter via MaggieMay_hem
During the summer's London Olympics, two Border Terriers belonging to Great Britain's tennis smash Andy Murray found themselves in the news after trying on his gold and silver prizes for size. Maggie May tweeted the photo on her own account. "Here we go folks ... Just checking to make sure Rusty definitely has the silver, obviously," she said. They look like winners to us!

That is the draft proposal by the Economic Ministry's National Academy for Educational Research, to offer more variety to students. It plans to cut required maths credits from 16 to just 12, and replace the four credits with elective courses.
"If students want to take more maths courses they can," said Fan Hsin-hsien, director of the National Academy for Educational Research's Centre for Curriculum and Instruction. 'But for those who plan to major in arts or social science may not need so much maths. They can choose electives that they're interested in."
But the plan has already caused an outcry among business leaders. "Technology is getting more complex. How can you reduce the number of required maths credits? If we do that, Taiwan will lose its pool of technology talents in 10 to 20 years," argued MediaTek chairman Tsai Ming-kai.
Taiwan was ranked fourth in Asia for its global competitiveness by the World Economic Forum. Observers now fear Taiwan's ranking could fall if high school maths courses are reduced.
"Taiwan is a world leader in the semiconductor industry, including integrated circuit design, foundry and packaging," said Chang Chien-yi, director of the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research Division. "This sector requires a lot of engineers, which must have strong maths training. So we're concerned the semiconductor industry would be affected."
Nearly 100 members from Taiwan's top research institution Academia Sinica have petitioned against the draft. They say senior high school students now take four maths classes a week, which is already lower than the United States, Germany and many Asian countries, and to lower the classes any further would be detrimental to the competitiveness of the next generation.
"High school maths is the basis for many college curricula, they cannot be replaced," said National Taiwan Univerisity math professor Lin Chang-shou. "There is no country in the world that allows maths to be become elective courses from the second semester of junior year. Taiwan would be the first."
The draft has already been submitted to the Economic Ministry for review. Officials said they will take the criticism into consideration before approving the draft, which is due to be implemented in 2017.

Simply Fab: Who's The Fairest Mirror
Simply Fab: Who's The Fairest Mirror
by Fashion 25 Reactions 0 Shares Print
I love this mirror because it's so absolutely whimsical. I feel like if I had it on my dressing table, I could be a modern-day Snow White. It seems like this mirror would talk back. Either that, or I would look like a total goofball asking my mirror questions!
In any case, this Who's The Fairest Mirror, $148, has really caught my eye. The brass twig frame gives it a very vintage feel, like you might have pulled it out of your grandmother's attic. Also, do I see a possible necklace hanger as well? What a great vanity piece!

Originally written on Kukla's Korner | Last updated 11/17/14
I put this clip in the quick take, but I'm guessing that it probably deserves its own thread. I hope that the NHL doesn't call Red Wings forward Johan Franzen for this, because Franzen was assessed a 5-minute major and a game misconduct for spearing David Perron after Perron absolutely mashed Franzen's head into the glass via a "hit the numbers" check from behind. Mind you, I'm a biased Wings fan, and this video--from Paul--is narrated by the Blues' announcers, but Perron got 2 minutes, Franzen got 5, and that should be the end of it.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged, perspective view of a portion of the apparatus of FIG. 1.
Referring now in detail to the drawings, there is shown therein an apparatus forming one embodiment of the invention and adapted to effect a method forming one embodiment of the invention. Cars 10 are advanced continuously by a conveyor 12 past known soaping, brushing and rinsing apparatus 14 to and through a foam wax applicator 16, a top buffing brush 18 and side buffing brushes 20, a rinsing and sealing wax applicator 24 and a drying blower 26. The cars are cleaned by the apparatus 14 and are wet as they enter the foam wax applicator 16 which directs streams of foamed wax onto the front, rear, top and side surfaces of each car to substantially completely cover these surfaces with an aqueous foamed wax which adheres to these surfaces. The car with the foam wax thereon then passes through the buffing brushes which brush the waxed surfaces to polish the wax while wet and remove excess foam wax from the car. After this buffing or polishing, streams of an aqueous rinsing and sealing wax solution are applied to the foam waxed surfaces, and the sealing wax is deposited onto the foam wax on the surfaces to form a somewhat thick, highly glossed, hard, durable wax coating. Water still on the surfaces is blown off by the dryer.
The foam wax and its application may be one of the foam waxes and methods disclosed and claimed in co-pending application, Ser. No. 432,815, filed Jan. 14, 1974, and now abandoned, by Judson L. Smith for "FOAMED WAX PROCEDURE". The foam wax is a group of bubbles separated from one another by thin films, the aggregation having a finite static life. The liquid waxes which may be used for the foam wax of this invention, are those traditionally used in automatic car washes. These go under a variety of trade names, some of which are "Hot Carnauba Wax"; "Turtle Wax"; "Blue Coral", and many others. However, in general, waxes are defined as a substance having the properties of (a) crystalline to micro-crystalline structure, (b) the capactiy to acquire gloss when rubbed, (c) the capacity to produce paste or jells with suitable solids or when mixed with other waxes, (d) low viscosity at just below the melting point, (e) low solubility in solvents for fats at room temperatures. Waxes are derived from various sources such as minerals, vegetables and synethetic material. However, the most common waxes used in car waxes are vegetable waxes and, more particularly, carnauba waxes which are formed from complex alcohols, hydrocarbons, and resins. Different waxes will react differently to the foaming operation of this process. Therefore, the actual wax used will be a matter of personal choice and preference.
Specific examples of wax and foaming agents used therewith are those marketed by Sun Ray Chemical Corp., 115 East Jackson, Phoenix, Arz., under Sun Glow, Part No. 0024 for the wax, and Part No. 0023 for the foaming agent. In a preferred embodiment of this invention, these are used in proportions of one part of wax, one part of foaming agent, to fifty parts of water. It is believed that under some circumstances, the foaming agent can be varied from one-tenth of a part to two parts, per part of wax, per 50 parts of water. The proportion of water used, can be decreased from fifty parts, but the performance is not significantly improved, if improved at all, and the cost is significantly increased.
The foam wax applicator may include a pressurized tank with an aqueous mixture of wax, water and foaming agent therein, or it may include an unpressurized tank and an ejector apparatus employing the "Dema" type ejector, mixes wax with water and adds compressed air in a foaming chamber. Also, the nozzles 30 may be foaming nozzles. The foam wax when formed and applied to the automobile or other surface is then stable for a finite period of time, generally slightly less than 10 minutes.
The sealing wax is self-polishing, hard and durable, and is of the type commonly used in car washes wherein it is applied in an aqueous solution and is self-polishing. It is often referred to as a "hot wax". Specific examples of the sealing wax are CW-450 wax concentrate sold by Mt. Hood Chemical Corporation of 4444 N.W. Yeon Ave., Portland, Ore. 97210, and the self-polishing wax concentrate sold by Keystone Corporation of Kansas City, Mo. These wax concentrates are mixed with water in a ratio of about 1/4 to 2 ounces of the wax concentrate to one gallon of water. Other waxes and solutions which can be used are those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Re. No. 27,890 and U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,222,201; 3,222,213 and 2,626,870. The aqueous solution preferably is hot, being of a temperature of 120� F. or hotter.
By applying the aqueous sealing wax to the car while the foam wax is still wet, oxidization of the foam wax is minimized, and the sealing wax may be applied to the nip of the brushes 18 and 20, nozzles 30 directing the streams of sealing rinse water with wax therein onto the car.
The apparatus 14 includes soaping nozzles 40, a top brush 42, side brushes 44, wraparound brushes 46 and water rinsing nozzles 48. Each car is thoroughly washed and rinsed by the apparatus 14 so that it comes to the foam wax applicator 16 clean and wet. The nozzles 30 direct streams of aqueous foaming wax onto the top surfaces of the car and onto the sides of the car below the side windows to foam a layer of foamed wax on these surfaces. The applicator 16 and buffing brushes 18 and 20 are actuated by the car striking position switches, and the brushes 18 and 20 are rotated and are urged toward the car into brushing engagement with the still wet waxed surfaces and buff the wax onto these surfaces. The buffed surfaces are still wet and unoxidized when the rinse water containing the sealing wax is applied to the top and side surfaces of the car. After the car leaves the brushes 18 and 20, the continuously operated dryer nozzles 26 blow off excess water left on the car. The dryer nozzles are directed somewhat rearwardly, and would blow off the foam wax as it is applied if the brushes 18 and 20 were not present. However, the brushes 18 and 20 block the flow of air therepast, and the streams of foam wax being applied and the foam wax layer on the car are not disturbed by the dryer air.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals' Carson Palmer, Larry Fitzgerald expect tough challenge from Seattle CBs
The cornerbacks of the Seattle Seahawks are big.
All-Pro Richard Sherman stands 6-foot-3, as does his partner in crime, third-year man Brandon Browner.
But they're not just big. They're physical, as well.
Quarterback Carson Palmer and the Arizona Cardinals' offense will face off against Sherman, Browner and the rest of the vaunted Seahawks' defense Thursday night at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale.
The veteran quarterback thinks that his receivers will need to match the muscle of Seattle's defensive duo to be successful.
"You've got to be physical with them," Palmer said following Tuesday's practice in Tempe. "They're going to grab and hold and they're going to play very physical. They're very long, you've got to fight back.
"And if they're going to let guys play like they did last week and let the grabbing go on and let it be a physical game, we've got to match their physicality and at times, just win."
In the last meeting between the two teams last December in Seattle, Sherman feasted on Cardinals quarterback John Skelton, picking off two passes and returning one for a score in a 58-0 blowout. Sherman has four interceptions in four career games against the Cardinals.
Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is quite aware of the reputation of Seattle's secondary.
"They're a great challenge for us, they have a lot of talented players, not only in the secondary, but across the board," he said.
But Palmer has some words of encouragement for his receivers heading into the Thursday night affair.
"You've got to win those one-on-one matchups and when (they're) hanging on you and grabbing on you and pulling you down, you've got to make those tough, kind of grimy catches that coach is always talking about that probably aren't going to get called."

Cleanliness, nicely appointed room.
The breakfast was a bit lacking. Too many carb filled options, not enough meat.
My daughter and I asked for a late check out and the front desk was very accommodating. Various business's were near by.
The pull out mattress needed to be replaced in a huge way! Was expecting a larger room, however , for the price it was just ok.
Bed was comfortable, place was clean and quite. Free breakfast was perfect! Lots to choose from!
Breakfast was good, could have used some more fruit as ran out early in the breakfast. Staff was friendly during check in and out. Parking was always available and wheelchair spaces close to enterence.
The beds were a little uncomfortable!
Very clean hotel and friendly staff.
There were kids jumping upstairs and it was loud until they finally went to bed.
The location to the venue we were visiting was optimal. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly.
The breakfast stopped prior to the 10:00 a.m. time. They started shutting down and stopped bringing food out about 9:45 a.m. and the coffee was out. They should bring food out until 10:00 a.m. as some people would like to wait until the rush is over. We did not get any breakfast.
Overall it was a good value for the money. Especially appreciated the continental breakfast.
We arrived late and the lady who checked us in at the front desk was curt/gruff and didn't make eye contact with us even once.
The hotel was exceptionally clean and the rooms were spacious and able to sleep up to 5 people! I loved the amenities: the pool, the hot tub, the athletic room, the free WiFi, the breakfast buffet in the morning. It was a clean and comfortable place to stay. The staff were very friendly.
Nothing to report
+ Best Hotel breakfast in U.S. so far + reasonable price + nice new hotel + comfortable sofa bed for 5th person
Everything! Second stay at Hillsboro.
It was a clean comfortable and affordable place to stay

We thought we were cupcake haters, but were sugar and spice compared to cookbook author Carolynn Carreo: Cupcakes by definition are not good. As far as sweets go, I would rather have a good cookie, ice cream, fruit desserts, dark chocolate, milk chocolate: basically anything else but a cupcake. But truly, without exaggeration or irony, Id say that though Magnolia has the cache for reasons having to do with consumer stupidity and the power of television (e.g. Sex and the City) their cupcakes are probably the worst in town. And dont get her started on Crumbs. [Whats Eating Carolynn via Serious Eats]
