Wind is God's way of balancing heat. Wind is the way you shift heat from areas where it's hotter to areas where it's cooler. That's what wind is. Wouldn't it be ironic if in the interest of global warming we mandated massive switches to energy, which is a finite resource, which slows the winds down, which causes the temperature to go up? Now, I'm not saying that's going to happen, Mr. Chairman, but that is definitely something on the massive scale. I mean, it does make some sense. You stop something, you can't transfer that heat, and the heat goes up. It's just something to think about.
The likes of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Chinese President Xi Jinping should not dictate what can be read, written, distributed, bought and sold on the Internet. Countries that do not give their own people the right to speak freely deserve no say in what Americans can say and do on the Internet.
When [Cruz] says this is the Obamacare, Obamacare was a government program that fixed something, that changed things. This is about reclassifying something so it stays the same. This would keep things exactly the same that they've been.
Cruz's argument, though, relies on a different reading of what "the same" means. Franken is arguing that the Internet will be just as open to innovation as it always has been, since net neutrality has always been in effect and will remain in effect. Indeed, it would be hard to make the case that the Internet's current regulatory structure has made innovation impossible. Cruz instead is re-appropriating the phrase to imply that the Internet as a whole will never be able to change from the way it is now.
"By dictating that all these sites be treated the same, Net Neutrality makes small companies that don't take up much bandwidth at all pay more so that big companies can pay less. That's not the kind of equality the Internet needs."
Ed P: As a Republican who works in the tech industry I can say that this statement shows you either have no idea what you are talking about or you are bought and paid for by the American Cable monopoly. This is amazingly an stupid statement and is disheartening.
Keith F: Ted, I am as conservative as they come.... I want government out of just about everything... and I hate to say it, really hate to say it, but Obama is right on this one. I do not want my access and internet speed controlled by my ISP. It will be. The internet has been an open forum with little to no restrictions, that will change and not for the better. Bottom line, do not go against freedom of the net just because Obama is for it. Even an old blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
Adam H: Go find whatever rock you crawled out from under Ted and stay under it! Proud republican here, but not so proud to be blind like the good senator. Look how "great" our free market Internet is!!! I pay $100 a month for 15mbs / 100gb p/m capped Internet. Yep, those "free" markets really make it better lmao
David V: Texas employer here... This is really the wrong issue for you. Drop this quickly and move on to something else before it's too late. You're starting to look like a Tea Party whacko growling for his corporate masters. Move on before you embarrass the Republicans out of the next presidency. Net neutrality is about ensuring a free market. America loves a free market. But hey, be against free markets and America. It's cool. I'm sure no one will think of you when their Netflix slows down who wouldn't have before.
Sam A: Senator Cruz, you are wrong on this one. As a conservative voter and IT professional, I can assure you that Net Neutrality is a GOOD THING. Internet providers (who are also content owners) can't be trusted (as has already been proven) to allow consumers equal access to content from their competitors. This is why the government needs to ensure Net Neutrality as it protects the consumer from the bias of their Internet provider. This is especially true since we don't have real competition in this space.
The Republican message was 'We're not Obama,' no substance whatsoever. What was the Democrats' message? 'Oh, we're not either.' You cannot win if you are afraid! Where was the Democratic party? You gotta stand for something if you're gonna win!
The few of us who did show up to vote largely did it to support state ballot initiatives that actually mattered in our daily lives. We still voted to raise the minimum wage in 4 states to a slightly more respectable amount, and to $15 an hour in San Francisco. We voted for a week of paid sick days in Massachusetts, and for marijuana legalization in three more states (okay, well, DC isn't a state yet, but it definitely will be by the time we're grandparents). We voted to turn nonviolent drug offenses from felonies into misdemeanors in California. We even boosted high voter turnout in Michigan for Gary Peters, a Democrat who made climate change -- something we'll have to confront long after the boomers are gone -- his top issue. We just didn't vote for Democrats who haven't done anything for us since we voted for them in 2012, and who brazenly took our votes for granted this year.
Last night at approximately 11:27 Eastern Time, Republicans gained control of the US Senate and the results were almost immediate," said Jordan Klepper. "The economy now growing at a robust 3.5 percent. Gas this morning, under three bucks a gallon. Stock Market at record levels. Deficits cut in half. Ten million more Americans have health insurance. And unemployment sub six percent for the first time since we elected chairman Obama.
"Kentucky Kynect is a Web site. It was paid for by a $200-and-some-odd-million grant from the federal government. The Web site can continue. But in my view, the best interest of the country would be achieved by pulling out Obamacare, root and branch..."
The Democratic Governors Association blasted the ads in a statement, calling them "further evidence" that the Republican candidates "still have no idea how to communicate with women voters."That's because it's not just their attitudes that are condescending and insulting, but because their policies - from deep cuts to education to opposition to equal pay for equal work, to mandatory ultrasounds and defunding Planned Parenthood - are deeply out-of-touch with the concerns of women and families."
"The Democrats don't care. If they can get the bottom 51 percent of voters in terms of knowledge and IQ, they're perfectly happy. I can fool 51 percent of the people, that's enough to win. And hopefully, we'll overcome that."
...conditions at the center leave much to be desired. His air conditioner didn't work for weeks during the hottest part of the summer. Bathroom facilities are filthy, the floors stained from toilet flooding and the shower curtains black with mold, and there's usually no soap or toilet paper. The center is supposed to serve two meals a day, but the continental breakfast started only recently, dinner is offered at irregular times, and sometimes supplies run out before all of the 98 residents who want food have eaten.
That is a large and growing opportunity that should no longer be left untapped. It is time to remove all barriers to those who want HBO. So, in 2015, we will launch a stand-alone, over-the-top, HBO service in the United States.
[HBO] officially condemns theft, yet also recognizes that Thrones is an enormous hit, that content leakage is tough to prevent and that the show's popularity among pirates is inevitable (countries such as Australia, where viewers don't receive new episodes via pay cable in a timely manner, tend to be among the biggest piracy territories).
Comcast, the nation's largest cable provider, claims it's capable of providing 3Gbps broadband -- but its fastest service currently on the market is $320 a month for 305Mbps. Verizon, meanwhile, has just announced its fastest FiOS ever, 500Mbps for $310 a month. Compare that to Hong Kong, where consumers can get 500Mbps for $25 a month, or Seoul, where the same speed is priced at $30 a month. Only Google Fiber's broadband plan seems competitive with those of other tech-savvy nations: It offers 1Gbps for $70 a month, which is only outpaced by Japan's proposed Nuro network with speeds of up to 2Gbps for $51 a month.
What happens is that we deregulated this entire sector about 10 years ago and the cable guys already had exclusive franchises across the country. They were able to very inexpensively upgrade those to pretty high-speed internet access connections. Meanwhile the telephone companies have totally withdrawn. They have copper line in the ground and it's expensive for them to build and replace it with fiber. Because of both deregulation and sweeping consolidation in the cable industry we've ended up on this plateau where for about 80 percent of Americans their only choice for a high-capacity internet access connection is their local cable monopoly.
At Elonis' trial, the judge instructed the jurors that to convict, they had to conclude that this was not merely exaggeration. His Facebook posts needed to be statements that a reasonable person would interpret as a serious expression of an intention to inflict bodily injury. Elonis contended that he was just mimicking rap songs--indeed, he often linked to songs with his post. He argued that he should not be convicted without actual proof that he intended to threaten, intimidate or harm.
Here in America we can publicly declare war on our own nation, engage in open sedition and treason writ large, offer a reward for the capture and execution of our own democratically elected president, publicly promote the overthrow of the very Constitution which guarantees our freedoms, and loudly declare our intention for violent installation of a religious theocracy made of up of extremists who would execute and imprison any American who does not subscribe to this murderous lunacy.
"... they don't look at people when they talk to them and they don't build the empathy. You know, kids are mean because they're trying out. They look at a kid and they go, 'You're fat,' and then they see the kid's face scrunch up and they go, 'Oh, that doesn't feel good." But when they write 'you're fat,' they go, 'Mmmm, that was fun. I like that.'"
The average age of the Supreme Court's nine justices is just over 68. Justice Elena Kagan, 54, is the youngest on the court. Four of her colleagues are over 70 and several have served on the court since cell phones had to be carried in backpacks. While age doesn't necessarily imply that someone isn't familiar with technology I think it's safe to speculate that the Justices aren't hanging out on Facebook posting selfies, liking pictures of Obama with a Hitler mustache or sharing articles with headlines that defy all logic. Whether that's a good thing remains to be seen and will be reflected in the language of their ruling and how it will ultimately affect the First Amendment in cyberspace and its application by the rest of us on a daily basis.
Court experts said justices take tech issues seriously, even if they make the occasional slip during oral arguments. The justices read "friend of the court" briefs from experts in the field, and some had experience in the realm of science and technology before joining the bench. Justice Stephen Breyer worked on regulations as a US Senate staffer and wrote widely on issues related to technology and the law. If all else fails, they can turn to their twentysomething law clerks.
"When Logan's report aired, Senator Lindsey Graham, who has been fixated on the idea of a conspiratorial cover-up, saw it as more dark proof. If we hadn't heard about Jones, and the warnings he said he passed on, what else didn't we know? Graham cited 60 Minutes as a reason for holding up the nominations of various ambassadors, an odd penalty, given that the incident involved a diplomatic outpost that could have used some help. After the report's integrity disintegrated, he said that he wouldn't give up."
[W]hen you raise the cost of something, you get less of it," House Speaker John Boehner railed, when the White House announced its plan to raise the minimum wage for federal contract workers. "We know from increases in the minimum wage in the past that hundreds of thousands of low-income Americans have lost their jobs.
In the 15 years that followed... job growth continued at an average 0.8 percent annual pace, 0.3 percentage point above the national rate. Payrolls at Washington's restaurants and bars, portrayed as particularly vulnerable to higher wage costs, expanded by 21 percent. Poverty has trailed the US level for at least seven years.
When Sanders noted that there are "some conservatives who do not believe in the concept of the minimum wage," Alexander jumped in to endorse that position. "So you do not believe in the concept of the minimum wage?" the Vermonter asked? "That's correct," Alexander responded. When Sanders followed up, asking if the Tennessee Republican would "abolish" the minimum wage, Alexander replied, "Correct."
Literally, if we took away the minimum wage -- if conceivably it was gone -- we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level.
So, it's interesting that the recent news of job market 'improvement' doesn't mention that of the ten occupation categories projecting the greatest growth in the next eight years, only one pays a middle-class wage. Four pay barely above poverty level and five pay beneath it, including fast-food workers, retail sales staff, health aids and janitors. The job expected to have the highest number of openings is 'personal care aide'--taking care of aging baby boomers in their houses or in nursing homes. The median salary of an aid is under $20,000. They enjoy no benefits and about 40 percent of them must rely on food stamps and Medicaid to make ends meet, plus many are in the 'shadow economy,' vulnerable to being cheated on the already miserly wages.
Will this be a cake-walk? No, it will be painful, and some people may die because the government will not be non-violent; some of us will end up in a cell, and some may be injured," organizers warned. "If that's what it will take to save our nation, do we have any choice?
There were reports of scattered groups of trucks making their way toward Washington, D.C. About 15 pickup trucks bearing the official Twitter hashtag of the ride -- #T2SDA (Truckers to Shut Down America) -- were spotted early Friday near Doswell, about 85 miles south of the capital.
For context here, there are maybe like 320 million people in this whole country, and that includes babies and the infirm, but they are expecting 10 to 30 million people. That's their plan for tomorrow, and if they're expecting that many people, statistically speaking, you're probably going.
And yet they chose a different path. In the face of hatred, they prayed for their tormentors. In the face of violence, they stood up and sat in, with the moral force of nonviolence. Willingly, they went to jail to protest unjust laws, their cells swelling with the sound of freedom songs. A lifetime of indignities had taught them that no man can take away the dignity and grace that God grants us. They had learned through hard experience what Frederick Douglass once taught -- that freedom is not given, it must be won, through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith.
Walmart's employees receive $2.66 billion in government help every year, or about $420,000 per store. They are also the top recipients of Medicaid in numerous states. Why does this occur? Walmart fails to provide a livable wage and decent healthcare benefits, costing U.S. taxpayers an annual average of $1.02 billion in healthcare costs. This direct public subsidy is being given to offset the failures of an international corporate giant who shouldn't be shifting part of its labor costs onto the American taxpayers.
Because the company obligates you, as a condition of employment, to be available to work on just a few hours' notice. Even the Walmart defense forces would have to acknowledge that it is awfully hard to take a second job when your primary employment requires you to be on-call 24/7 or risk losing your job.
If Chemotherapy Is So Terrible Why Do So Many Cancer Patients Want It? Just as most appreciate that, despite the terrors of chemotherapy, one will submit to it when the alternative is far worse, most Americans are adequately equipped to understand that people who want and need to work will take virtually anything available to them when the alternative is no work at all--even if that job pays outrageously low wages, the occasional unsafe work environment and renders a second job all but impossible.
Even if Wal-Mart decided to pass 100 percent of the cost on to customers, store prices would still only increase by 1.1%," Fairchild writes. Because the average customer spends $1,200 per year, that would amount to about $12 annually.
I go into a store and say to the woman, "Excuse me, may I see that bag over your head?" and she says to me "No, it's too expensive."Winfrey says she asked again to see the bag -- a $38,000 crocodile skin number by Tom Ford -- and the woman again refused, saying, "No no no, you don't want to see that one, you want to see this one, because that one will cost too much and you will not be able to afford that.
Wells Fargo, Ms. Jacobson said in an interview, saw the black community as fertile ground for subprime mortgages, as working-class blacks were hungry to be a part of the nation's home-owning mania. Loan officers, she said, pushed customers who could have qualified for prime loans into subprime mortgages.
I hear the "gun to the head" statement quite frequently from attorneys representing lenders; and it is true in most cases, that the consumer was not brought in dragging and screaming to apply for the mortgage. However, it should be the lender's responsibility to not make loans to people that do not have the ability to repay those loans. The lender is preying on the consumer when they place a family in a loan that they did not have the ability to repay. Predatory lending can be directly correlated to discrimination.
A lawyer and fraud investigator with a specialty in forged documents... She has trained FBI agents... She used her legal training to go online and research 10,000 mortgages.
I often, because of my training, look for patterns. And then I began to find the strange signatures. It was a common practice in the last few years to flood the courts with these documents.
Szymoniak is getting $18 million as a result of her investigative efforts -- part of a $95 million settlement paid out by Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Citigroup. That's just one component of the $25 billion mortgage settlement filed earlier this week on behalf of those four banks and Ally Financial.
That has to be very hard on a person... it would very likely cause me to lose sleep. Because I'd know that regardless of my planned defenses to Figueroa's allegations, the facts of the complaint alone, as found in the emails, are not going to make me look good no matter what. And I'd think that would be stressful for anyone, but especially someone who's so widely been seen as a hero.
Epstein may want to consider going back into nursing or finding a day job because this political humiliation has done irreparable damage to her credibility. It damaged her credibility because by her own admission during the campaign, she is an unemployed nurse and has no experience in mortgage lending, finance or the law.
Even as she confessed to conning low income Latino immigrants into being straw buyers for million dollar homes by abusing No-Doc loan programs and turning the posh town of Wellington into a squatters paradise, [Redman] tried to convince people she was set up by the government.
Most of us are only concerned about living within society's laws, but certain professions impose a higher standard on their members... doctors and lawyers come immediately to mind, but there are others as well, such as police officers, investment professionals, educators, interpreters, pilots, members of the clergy, and even journalists... all are supposed to adhere to a code of conduct beyond society's laws and rules. Some professions, including both the legal and medical, require individuals be licensed, and breaches of the profession's code of conduct can result in suspension of the applicable license on a temporary or sometimes permanent basis.
That $1,105 figure for monthly income isn't just some arbitrary sample figure. It comes from somewhere ... the average McDonalds pay for a cashier or crew member is $7.72 an hour, a few pennies above minimum wage.
We want to do a better job of raising up the disadvantaged and the poorest in this country, rather than saying 'Oh, we're just fine now.' We're not saying that at all. What we're saying is, we need to analyze all these additional policies, these subsidies, this cronyism, this avalanche of regulations, all these things that are creating a culture of dependency. And like permitting, to start a business, in many cities, to drive a taxicab, to become a hairdresser. Anything that people with limited capital can do to raise themselves up, they keep throwing obstacles in their way. And so we've got to clear those out. Or the minimum wage. Or anything that reduces the mobility of labor.
It's one thing to be known as the king of everyday low prices, which has been Walmart's positioning with U.S. consumers for decades. But these ads collectively make a broader and more comprehensive argument for the tremendous net positive that Walmart remains for the American economy.
So even a young, healthy person will have to pay $100 or more for an individual health insurance policy in most circumstances. Perhaps McDonalds is tacitly admitting that many low-income workers, including McDonalds employees, can't afford health insurance and simply make do without it.
I lived on about $850 a month while working my way though (sic) college. This budget is more than adequate. People just really need to rethink what "necessities" actually are. I split an apartment with two other people, cooked all my healthy meals at home, grocery shopped at Aldi's, had a $2,000 Honda i drove for 250,000 miles, kept the heat at 63 in the winter, didn't bother with cable, had a basic cell phone plan, etc., etc., etc... I knew what my means were and I lived within them. I guess I didn't pay for health insurance because I was covered under my father's plan while in school, but other than that I took care of everything on that list and lived comfortably. You don't need luxury items and technology to live comfortably.
O'REILLY: Eight-two percent have a microwave. This is 82 percent of American poor families. Seventy-eight percent have air conditioning. More than one television, 65 percent. Cable or satellite TV, 64 percent -- thank God.
DOBBS: Amen, brother.
O'REILLY: Cell phones, 55 percent. Personal computer, 39 percent. And as we said, that's a 6-year-old consumption survey, so these numbers are way up. So how can you be so poor and have all this stuff?
But there is a reason for poverty in America. There's almost always a reason attached to poverty. And it's not the capitalist system's fault. It's usually personal responsibility or something like that.
Surely, part of the situation is that many men simply do not want to put themselves in positions they find humiliating. A high school student doesn't want to persist in a school where he feels looked down on. A guy in his 50s doesn't want to find work in a place where he'll be told what to do by savvy young things.
Hmm. Men don't want to be put in positions they find humiliating? How many men out there today are working as telemarketers? As collections agents? How many grown men are working in fast-food restaurants, getting yelled at by people like Brooks when they put the wrong McNugget sauce in the take-out bag?
How big do the biggest banks have to get before we consider breaking them up? They're 30 percent bigger now than they were five years ago. Do they have to double in size, triple in size, quadruple in size before we talk about breaking up the biggest financial institutions?
[They] take a variety of approaches to gutting Dodd-Frank. Two bills, H.R. 1840 and H.R. 2308, are essentially stalling tactics, requiring regulators to undertake more of those sweeping cost-benefit analy-ses that result in lengthy delays. Another bill, H.R. 3283, is more substantive: Sponsored by Connecticut Democrat and hedge-fund industry BFF Jim Himes, it exempts foreign affiliates of U.S. swaps dealers from all Dodd-Frank oversight. The rule, if implemented, would make the next AIG possible, given that AIG was undone by half a trillion dollars in derivative bets produced by such a foreign affiliate - its London-based financial products outfit, AIGFP. If passed, says Rep. Brad Miller, a Democrat from North Carolina, H.R. 3283 would leave a "massive, gaping hole" in Dodd-Frank. "It would be very easy to move those trades to whatever the most indulgent country would be," Miller explains.
So to sum up, we banks would like to remain eligible for bailouts when we engage in hedging, which we think is everything we do, and also additionally when we engage in "certain structured finance swap activities," which will mean whatever we tell the rule-makers it means after the bill is passed.
[The report] is so incredibly hysterical in its tone that, reading it, one cannot help but deduce that people on Wall Street are genuinely afraid of this bill. The paper essentially hints that forcing banks to retain more capital could lead to world financial collapse, the onset of a new Ice Age, mammoths roaming Nebraska, etc.
First, could you explain what you did in 2008 for Citi that warranted payment to you of close to $1 million, most of which was a bonus. Second, what was it about your performance that merited your bonus from a company that was being propped up by taxpayer money and are there any records of your performance assessment - or are there any assessments of your performance. Third, your employment agreement included a clause stating that 'your guaranteed incentive and retention award' would not be paid upon exit from Citigroup but there was an exception that you would receive that compensation 'as a result of your acceptance of a full time high level position with the United States Government or a regulatory body.' Now is this exception consistent with President Obama's efforts to 'close the revolving door' that carries special interest influence in and out of the government?

Battleground Prussia
The Assault on Germany's Eastern Front 1944#45
The terrible months between the arrival of the Red Army on German soil and the final collapse of Hitler's regime were like no other in the Second World War. The Soviet Army's intent to take revenge for the horror that the Nazis had wreaked on their people produced a conflict of implacable brutality in which millions perished.
From the great battles that marked the Soviet conquest of East and West Prussia to the final surrender in the Vistula estuary, this handsome volume from Osprey recounts in chilling detail the desperate struggle of soldiers and civilians alike. These brutal campaigns are brought vividly to life by a combination of previously unseen testimony and astute strategic analysis recognizing a conflict of unprecedented horror and suffering. Author Prit Buttar spins a mesmerizing tale accompanied by rare photographs and informative maps.

text: The fallout from rape allegations against Bill Cosby continues. According to The Hollywood Reporter, NBC has canceled a family comedy starring the 77-year-old actor. Although the show didn't yet have a final script, many speculate that Netflix "postponing" its Thanksgiving special with the former Cosby Show star may have helped push NBC to its decision.

"People always ask themselves what are the answers, and within the answer that enable them to grow or to understand. I however, like to think differently. When you searching answers, you don't look for answers, rather you should look for the right question for yourself. For example, Am I worthtless? Yes, I am. but the question you should be asking is this 'What can I do to make myself worthy?' Think differently and surely, you will find yourself."
"Life's many Questions;Haven't you finished high school? Haven't you finished college?Haven't you had sex? Haven't you started working? Haven't you married? Haven't you given birth? Haven't you had a female or a male child? Haven't you made it? Haven't you retired? Haven't your children graduated? Haven't you had grand children & of course haven't you died? In life there are more questions than answers."
"When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream."

The Ephemeral Films Project: National Socialism in Austria aims to preserve, analyze, and make accessible approximately 50 films related to the history of the Nazi period and the Holocaust. These ephemeral films—ones with a limited purpose that were not meant to endure, including amateur, educational, and industrial films—have until recently received little scholarly attention or systematic preservation, and yet they contain valuable cultural and historical information. Together with the Austrian Film Museum and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has designed an innovative web application that preserves both the structure and content of ephemeral films in obsolete formats. A video player pulls from a high-resolution film scan and combines a frame-by-frame level of analysis with dynamic annotation moving along in sync with the film. The films that are part of this project include unofficial images that depict vibrant Jewish life in prewar Austria, the post-Anschluss persecution of the Jews, and the torture and killing of Soviet prisoners of war and partisans. These films supplement and sometimes contradict the Nazi-sponsored version of events and thus serve as an important corrective to the visual record, even almost 75 years later.

Four weeks after a hard-fought election, Governor-elect Peter Shumlin continues to surprise and impress with his choice of department heads and the speed with which he is assembling a very capable cabinet.
The recent appointment of political rival Doug Racine, a state senator in Chittenden County for 14 years (along with six years as lieutenant governor) who lost the gubernatorial primary race to Shumlin by a razor-thin 203 votes, not only demonstrates Shumlin's willingness to mend fences but also to reach out to the best leaders available.

ADDISON COUNTY — According to local vendors, Megan Price's new book "Vermont Wild" has been selling like hotcakes.
The book is a conglomeration of 13 standalone stories told from the perspective of Vermont game warden of 32 years, Eric Nuse of Johnson. Nuse teamed up with Price, a Fair Haven resident, over a year ago to put his stories in a form that would be digestible for readers both young and old.

This is the eighth in a second series of essays and reflections about politics and the moral life. The themes of the essays are drawn from Plato's 'Laws.' his last and longest philosophical dialogue written shortly before his death in 347 bce. Laws is a fictional account of a conversation involving three old men with long experience in politics: Cleinias, from the Cretan city of Cnossos, Megillus, from Sparta, and an Athenian stranger who is not named, but who may be Plato himself. This essay treats the important theme of education.

Education Abroad develops 'GloBull Greeks' program
Greeks on campus could soon find themselves in Greece or any other country around the world studying abroad due to an initiative by the Education Abroad office.
The Education Abroad office at USF is planning a GloBull Greek campaign, which would encourage students in fraternities and sororities to study abroad.
Among various organizations on campus, the education abroad office found that Greek organizations at USF were a group that had the lowest percentage of students participating in study abroad programs, Julie Ficarra, an education abroad advisor, said.
Ficarra said once students take the time to join a Greek organization, they find it difficult to leave their brotherhood or sisterhood for a summer or semester abroad.
But Education Abroad hopes to incentivize studying abroad within the Greek system, and Ficarra said they approached the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life last summer to pitch the idea of a campaign to promote studying abroad among Greeks.
Ficarra said the Education Abroad office hopes to compare the Greek organization rosters to the Education Abroad rosters and award points to the Greek organizations who have members studying abroad in the fall, spring and summer semesters. The winning organization will win a trophy cup, which they will house until the next academic year.
There are a few models that can be used for the program, Ficarra said.
Purdue University in Indiana created a similar program called Global Greeks, to capitalize on the competitive nature between Greek organizations and to try to increase participation in study abroad programs.
In Purdues Global Greeks program, different Greek organizations compete against each other for the Global Greek Cup. Every year they tally up the percentage of each organization that participated in the study abroad programs.
At other universities, every student who studies abroad for a summer semester earns one point, for a regular semester, two points and for an academic year, three points. Some systems award a half point for every student enrolled in a language course or a cultural course at the university.
Ficarra said the Education Abroad office plans to take the idea to the Greek presidents council in a few weeks.
Ficarra said she reached out to the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life (OFSL) last semester about the idea, and both offices agreed it would be a good opportunity.
Vanessa Guthrie, a senior majoring in mass communications and member of Chi Omega, a womens fraternity at USF, visited Ireland last summer as part of the mass communications study abroad program.
The trip was great, she said. I had never been to Europe, and I thought Ireland would be a really good place to visit first. There were many different types of people on the trip, and I was able to connect with them. I wouldnt have been able to otherwise.
When she returned home, Guthrie said she shared her experience with those in her fraternity who had yet to travel abroad.
When I came back, I had the experience that I could share, Guthrie said. Sharing that experience (with others) became a good way to bond and communicate.
Guthrie said she thinks the initiative by Education Abroad to get more Greeks involved is a good idea, and that the office should work to target as many different groups as possible.
We are going to try and push semester programs and help the Greek community understand that you can leave your brotherhood or sisterhood for a semester, Raven Villegas, a USF graduate and a study abroad gateway office volunteer, said. (They) come back stronger and make it stronger because of that.
Last semester, the Education Abroad office targeted students in Learning Living Communities (LLCs) and held multiple informational sessions in the Juniper-Popular residence halls. At the sessions, USF Global ambassadors, students who studied abroad previously who work to promote study abroad programs, spoke about why students should study abroad.
Jason Blunt, a global ambassador of USF said a lot of the students had questions about what they should do in relation to their major, how studying abroad would affect their graduation date, and what it would be like to study abroad. Villegas said timing for the new initiative is optimal.
It would be great if (the program) had been here last year to get more people involved and have the further incentives to study abroad, Villegas said. Having the system starting up now is a great time with new chapters that are on campus like Gamma Phi Beta and Alpha Sigma Phi. The USF Greek community is growing, and I think its a great time for us to come together and focus on internationalizing USF and the community.

LeaseWeb, the Dutch-based infrastructure provider, is expanding its public cloud infrastructure to the US, figuring to be cheaper than Rackspace and Amazon.
The multi-tenant widgetry is designed for maximum redundancy and uses the open source CloudStack platform Citrix turned over to the Apache Foundation at its core. It likes KVM for virtualization and its fast network-attached storage is based on a Nexenta platform.
The hungry newcomer is offering four CPU and memory packages ranging from $16 a month to $99 a month.
Sixteen bucks will buy a single core machine with a half a gig of memory, 40 gigs of storage and 500 gigs free bandwidth. Ninety-nine bucks buys quad-core VMs, four gigs of memory, 160 gigs of storage and the same free bandwidth. All instances are automatically firewalled and it just takes a credit card.
LeaseWeb says Rackspace is three times more expensive and Amazon's pricing is so complicated it's hard to estimate.
Customers can spin up and scale cloud servers at the push of a button complements of a portal designed to provision and manage the high-speed networking, compute, memory and storage resources.
The launch is part of the company's strategy to expand its global IaaS footprint. It's targeting SMBs, non-US businesses and the finance, real estate and insurance sectors.
LeaseWeb entered the US market in January 2011 with a new headquarters and data center in Virginia that offered customers instant physical servers. Now it's supporting virtual resources too. LeaseWeb USA CEO William Schrader says, "Our historical success underpins this latest development as we take our first step into the US cloud market."
Robert van der Meulen, LeaseWeb's cloud manager said, "The launch of LeaseWebCloud in the US is a particularly exciting step in LeaseWeb's global cloud offering. Many of our customers have been asking for the product in the US as they want to build infrastructure that spreads across European and American data centers; we've listened to them and here it is."
LeaseWeb, which is part of the OCOM Group, one of Europe's largest Internet infrastructure and hosting companies, claims 15,000 customers ranging from SMEs to enterprises services like BMW, Bose, Kasperksy Labs, Starbucks and Wikimedia and includes support for public cloud, private cloud, hybrid hosting, colocation and dedicated hosting.
It's got more than 50,000 servers under management and has provided infrastructure for mission-critical web sites, Internet applications, e-mail servers, security, and storage services since 1997.
The company operates eight data centers in the US and Europe with a total capacity of more than three Tbps.
LeaseWeb partners with Microsoft, VMware, IBM, Dell, HP, Cisco, Juniper, cPanel and Parallels.
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...

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.

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...

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...

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

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade.

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.
