The 3rd International Internet of @ThingsExpo, co-located with the 16th International Cloud Expo - to be held June 9-11, 2015, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY - announces that its Call for Papers is now open. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the biggest idea since the creation of the Worldwide Web more than 20 years ago.

Cultural, regulatory, environmental, political and economic (CREPE) conditions over the past decade are creating cross-industry solution spaces that require processes and technologies from both the Internet of Things (IoT), and Data Management and Analytics (DMA). These solution spaces are evolving into Sensor Analytics Ecosystems (SAE) that represent significant new opportunities for organizations of all types. Public Utilities throughout the world, providing electricity, natural gas and water, are pursuing SmartGrid initiatives that represent one of the more mature examples of SAE. We have s...

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. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

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 Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data. By focusing on enterprise applications and the data center, he will use OpenTSDB as an example t...

One of the biggest challenges when developing connected devices is identifying user value and delivering it through successful user experiences. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Mike Kuniavsky, Principal Scientist, Innovation Services at PARC, described an IoT-specific approach to user experience design that combines approaches from interaction design, industrial design and service design to create experiences that go beyond simple connected gadgets to create lasting, multi-device experiences grounded in people's real needs and desires.

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...

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.

Inspired by the the work of Alex Noriega (http://www.snotm.com/) and Banksy's take on advertising (http://banksy.co.uk/) some random thoughts about brands and facebook. Images are from all over the Internet. If you see one that is yours and you want me to take it down pls let me know I'm dyslexic if you find a spelling mistake pls let me know
What a wonderful Festival it has been! It was better and even more impressive than the one last year. Basically it was huge. So many presentation to see, so many people to connect. At one point you had to sacrifice which presentation to see over another one. I met so many awesome people B. Bonin Bough @boughb,Oliver Luckett @revilopark and Mona EltahawyV @monaeltahawy just to name a few. Some of the decks that I could get my hands on, I have already shared with you, but many more to follow so stay tuned! They will be published with #FOMG14.
During day one in my view, the show stole David Shing, he delivered tones of new digital insights . He talked about the future of digital and media, and how brands can harness this innovation to increase engagement with consumers, as we move in the "Age of Interest". Check his interview right from the floor of the festival below
Then, I also loved the insights that Steve King CEO of Zenith revealed that I have already shared with you. See his interview below.
Also very inspiring was the presentation of Peter Espersen from Lego that he spoke about Building Communities. You can view his entire presentation below
Day 2 was even more impressive! My mind was blown away from the presentations that Mona Eltahawy @monaeltahawy and Oliver Luckett @revilopark gave. Mona talked about whether or not we have true freedoms while Oliver talked about how you Build Organic Social Movements. Both of them left me speech less! Yous guys just ruled!!!!
I also enjoyed the presentation from Jon Matonis which I have shared below and also the one Steve Hasker did from Nielsen (I wish I could get my hands on that one to share with you guys.
It was an amazing festival although in my view it should be a day longer. You simply did not have enough time to attend all the presentations and you had to choose one from another.
During the night everybody was dressed up for the awards. I had so much fun with Yury and Lara Ayoub Agha from Nissan Dubai!! You guys were simply amazing
Starcom MediaVest Group was awarded Agency Network of the Year last night at the Festival of Media Global Awards in the Rome Cavalieri Hotel, with the most winning campaigns across different countries out of any agency. Starcom's winning entries hailed from Poland, the Philippines, United Kingdom, Netherlands, United Arab Emirates, Denmark, and Sweden. The agency came away with Gold for two campaigns: Marabou Chocolate's 'The Chocolate with 6,000 Names' in Denmark, which won The Retail Award, and Prudential's 'Warsaw 1935′ in Poland, which was awarded Best Communications Strategy.
UM Australia walked away with both Agency of the Year and Campaign of the Year for their innovative social media campaign 'XTL', which encouraged Australian teens to call out disrespectful or inappropriate online behaviour with the hashtag #XTL (crossing the line). Produced by UM for the Department of Families, Housing, Communities and Indigenous Affairs, 'XTL' won the Gold for Best Social Media Strategy, as well as the Silver in Best Targeted Campaign and Bronze for The Utility/Public Service Award. The campaign became popular not only over Twitter and Facebook, but also on TV and print media, and 90% of teens surveyed reported using #XTL in the right context.
UM also won awards for two other campaigns in Australia: News Corps' 'Fast Front Pages' (Silver, Best Communications Strategy) and ING Direct's 'Spend Your Lunch Well' (Gold, Best Entertainment Platform). Check all the winners here
Ending I said it last year and I will say it again this festival is all about the connections you make and the people that you get the chance to meet. There is no other event in the world that can give access to such hi profile people from the media world.
IT WAS A BRILLIANT EVENT and C Squared's organised the event perfectly. You can check more photos from the event here

Daily Muse co-founder and startup advisor Kathryn Minshew has started (and re-started) her share of startups and has the battle scars to prove it. In this 99U talk, Minshew shares the remedies to commonly made startup founder mistakes. Chief among them? The "Gollum Syndrome" where founders treat their companies as "their precious." Just launch and iterate, says Minshew, because "An ugly baby is better than no baby at all."
Alexis Ohanian has founded reddit, Breadpig, and hipmunk but he'll be the first one to tell you: "I still don't know what I'm doing."
When creating our next great work, we can be held up by failure, or by worrying what the world will think, but Ohanian urges us to remember that it's hard enough to get people to care about your success. The web allows us to fail and fail fast and we should embrace this dynamic. And when you do eventually traction, treat your customers like royalty. "Your first 100 users are magical," he says.

As creatives, we often believe that as our talents improve, our salary will increase. However, your skills alone will not necessarily lead to more income. To really maximize your talents, identify the psychological reasons why clients do or don't decide to use your services.
In this insight-packed 99U talk, best-selling author Ramit Sethi reveals how he went from practically begging his readers to pay for a $4.95 e-book, to charging thousands for online courses and consultation by putting himself in the shoes of his customers. Think of the unspoken concerns of your customers, he says, and master the language used by your clients. For example, people don't want to "increase core strength" they want a six pack. By master the psychology of language and tapping into what your customers want, you can give them what they need and become indispensable.
Appearing by telepresence robot, Edward Snowden speaks at TED2014 about surveillance and Internet freedom. The right to data privacy, he suggests, is not a partisan issue, but requires a fundamental rethink of the role of the internet in our lives — and the laws that protect it.

Top Secret Nutrition L-Carnitine Plus Raspberry Ketones improves thermogenesis. Unique Fat Burning Formula Provides Metabolic Energy Improves Thermogenesis Helps Stimulate Fat Oxidation Helps Support Body Fat Reduction Transports Fatty Acids to Muscle Tissue L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid which plays a vital role in the metabolism of fat. It functions as a transporter of fatty acids into the mitochondria, the metabolic furnace of the cell. It has been suggested that an adequate supply of L-carnitine helps promote good health and energy levels. L-carnitine transports long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane to be metabolized. In this way, L-carnitine may help support the release of stored body fat, called triglycerides, into the bloodstream for energy. Raspberry Ketones are a ketone unique to the raspberry. Raspberries contain many bioactive constituents beneficial for supporting health. One particular constituent, 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl) butan-2-one may have the potential to promote healthy body composition by increasing norepinephrine-induced lipolysis. Research suggests that enhancing lipolysis may augment glycerol release, increasing the translocation of hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) in fat cells, and increasing brown adipose tissue, known to support thermogenesis and oxidation of body fat.About Top Secret NutritionTop Secret Nutrition has revolutionized the nutrition world by offering consumers everything they need to transform their physique and improve their overall health.

This week in The Times: Chris Pfalzgraf
Vitals: Chris Pfalzgraf, 32, is originally from Streator, Ill. Currently, he is a professional baseball player looking to make the 2010 Rockford RiverHawks roster as a right-handed pitcher. He has a 9-year-old son, Camden, who, along with God, he credits for giving him the strength to train and keep chasing his dream.
1. If you could choose any elected official – local, state or national – to speak with one-on-one, who would it be and what would you say? I would probably speak with President Barack Obama (D), and I would simply ask him how he blocks out the negative press and focuses on his job running our country. I feel mental focus is probably the most important aspect of sports when you reach collegiate and professional levels. And, of course, I would ask him what he's going do to ensure that my son has a great opportunity for a great life.
2. If you were to move away from the Rock River Valley, what three things would you miss the most? I would definitely miss my host family, the Herrmanns. They have gone above and beyond giving me everything I need to be ready for the season. I would miss some of the players, coaches and people I have met and overall just the area. I really like what the Rock River Valley has to offer. I've already cruised up and down some of the bike trails on my Schwinn.
3. What is the most challenging aspect of spring training with the RiverHawks? Well, I feel like I have trained more than I ever have in my life, and I am definitely ready for the long haul of the season. But, the most challenging aspect is just to block out everyone else trying to compete for a spot and stay within myself and mentally focused. I just have to show what I can do and focus on what I can control, and hopefully that will earn me what I'm looking for. I want to be a RiverHawk, and I want to win. That's the bottom line. Competition has always brought out the best in my ability.
4. What would earning a roster spot mean to you? I have been through a roller-coaster ride to get where I am today. I've been trying to get back in professional baseball since 2005. I guess I have made mistakes along the way, which I feel are the best way to learn what you did wrong and fix it. Although I feel like I should have made a couple teams' rosters along the way, they didn't feel the same, which is a failure, I guess. So, even though I've been knocked down, I just keep coming back for more. I feel like I've learned a lot of valuable lessons along the way, and I thank God for the opportunity I have with the RiverHawks. If I can make the RiverHawks' roster, I will probably break down and cry. It would mean the world to me.
5. Question from the last "This week in The Times" participant, Jan Fosse: If you weren't employed at your current job, what would you be doing? Before I came here for spring training, I was working in my father's bottle factory. So, I guess I'd be a blue-collar worker just like I was before.
"This week in The Times" is a weekly survey of people selected by The Rock River Times staff. The column does not accept unsolicited submissions.

What Could Have Been
by Paul on 12/02/08 at 11:24 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Russell Brooks of PhoenixCoyotes.com,
The Coyotes put about 15 months of thought and hard work into their new third jersey, which they debuted on Nov. 28 against the Colorado Avalanche.
The process for creating the new black sweaters started in August of 2007 when the team approached SME Branding about an idea for a third jersey.
"We were looking for an alternate jersey that complemented our home and road jerseys, but that was unique and something the fans would like," Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Michael Bucek said. "We hope our fans take as much pride in this jersey as our organization does."
continued with a slide show of numerous prototype sweaters like the one below.

"I put thinking in the future (on the back burner) because I love hockey so much," Kovalchuk told On The Fly. "Sometimes I get frustrated, but it's not like I go home and cry in my pillow. We'll get through this and be a better team."
The question: Will Kovalchuk be around to see it?

Avery Suspended
by Paul on 12/02/08 at 07:57 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Bob McKenzie of TSN,
The NHL has suspended Dallas Stars' forward Sean Avery indefinitely, pending a hearing with the league, and he will not be playing in tonight's game against the Calgary Flames.
Avery is being suspended for disparaging remarks he made this morning in reference to Calgary player Dion Phaneuf and Phaneuf's girl friend Elisha Cuthbert, who previously had a relationship with Avery.
added 6:21pm, Watch the video at TSN that got Avery into trouble.
Update 6:27pm ET (by Alanah): From Andrew's Dallas Stars Page:
"I completely support the league's decision to suspend Sean Avery," said Dallas Stars owner Thomas O. Hicks. "Had the league not have suspended him, the Dallas Stars would have. This organization will not tolerate such behavior, especially from a member of our hockey team. We hold our team to a higher standard and will continue to do so."
added 7:51pm, from Mike Brophy of Sportsnet,
Two thumbs up for the NHL.
Its decision to suspend controversial Dallas Stars winger Sean Avery is both justified and a relief.
added 9:10pm, from Craig Custance of the Sporting News,
If nothing else, you'd at least want to see if Avery backed up his macho statement on the ice, especially after Phaneuf leveled him. If Jarome Iginla didn't flatten him first.
But, in its misguided effort to keep a squeaky-clean image, the NHL suspended Avery rather then let the drama play out on the ice.
Sports needs its villains, and the NHL refuses to play along with one of the best villains in any sport. It's a mistake, especially for a sport that could use the boost of more mainstream attention.

Brodeur Doing Light Rehab
by Paul on 12/02/08 at 06:45 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Tom Gulitti of Fire & Ice,
Thursday will make it four weeks since Brodeur's surgery. He has an appointment to see the doctor on Wednesday. His rehab right now is simply to get his arm to straighten out fully.
"Just baby stuff, trying to get my range of motion," Brodeur said. "I'm almost there. I'm almost straight out now. It's probably another 10 degrees to go without feeling any pulling in the tendon. It should take another week to two weeks before it heals and after that I should be able to work harder and do more stuff."
Although the tendon was torn off near his elbow, Brodeur has to work on strengthening his wrist too.
"It's like a sprained wrist almost," he said. "When I'm in the brace it's not bad. When I'm not in the brace, there's no support."

from Bolts Report,
First of all, Radim Vrbata is a healthy scratch tonight, the second time this season he's been a healthy scratch. Vrbata didn't say much about the situation this morning, but he's noticeably upset about sitting out tonight. Ryan Craig will join Vrbata in the pressbox.
Gary Roberts has been placed on injured reserve after pulling his groin muscle during practice on Monday.
The team has called up both Radek Smolenak and Paul Szczechura and both will be in the lineup tonight.

from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
As he emerged from the dressing area at the back of the visiting dressing room, he asked if a TSN camera were present.
When he saw that it was, Avery stepped in front of the microphones, didn't wait for a question to be asked and started talking.
"I'm really happy to be back in Calgary; I love Canada," began Avery. "I just want to comment on how it's become like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my (former girlfriends).
"I don't know what that's about, but enjoy the game tonight."
And with that, Avery walked away and didn't stick around to explain any further.
Tonight's Stars/Flames should be a good one to catch on Center Ice!

Leafs Need A Great Goaltender
by Paul on 12/02/08 at 05:10 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Jim Kelley at Sportsnet,
I'm not arguing that a Toskala move needs to be made today or even before Burke's self-imposed Christmas no-trade zone (beginning Dec. 9). I'd even argue having him stay on until the Leafs establish an identity and where they are likely to finish this season, but at some point down the road, if Burke follows his game plan, goaltending has to be the No. 1 issue.
Burke knows that. His coach, Ron Wilson, knows that. Anyone who has watched Toskala's total contribution in a Leafs uniform can at least suspect it.
He's good; but not Stanley Cup championships good.
Toskala's goals against average, including a solid effort Monday night in Los Angeles is 3.02, good enough for 34th on the NHL stats list. His save percentage a paltry .891, a not so good 38th place. But if teams are going to go big in this league and be a true Cup contender it can't have goaltending that's just good, it has to be great.

Too Many Games = Uninspired Play
by Paul on 12/02/08 at 03:16 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Kevin Sylvester of BuffaloSabres.com,
There are too many regular season games in the NHL.
The evidence was Monday night at HSBC Arena when the Sabres and Predators trudged through the first two periods. Neither team had any legs because they were each playing their third game in four nights and for the Sabres, their fourth in six nights.
The result of the compact week is uninspired hockey and a poor product. It's not fair to the owners, coaches, players or fans.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Google has had more trouble diversifying its workforce than its computer scientists have had writing programs that respond to search requests in the blink of an eye or designing cars that can navigate traffic without a human behind the wheel.
That seemed to be the conclusion when the Silicon Valley giant this week issued a gender and ethnic breakdown of its workforce, showing that of its 26,600 U.S. employees, 61 percent are white, 30 percent Asian, 3 percent Hispanic and 2 percent black. Thirty percent of its employees are women.
Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Cisco and Advanced Micro Devices have published similar breakdowns.
Google is miles from where we want to be, said Laszlo Bock, senior vice president of people operations.
Why is one of the most innovative, dynamic sectors of the U.S. economy looking like the corporate world of the past, at least when it comes to blacks, Hispanics and women?
The biggest factor is a shortage of such students majoring in computer science or other technical fields in college, according to Bock.
There is an absolute pipeline problem, he told PBS Newshour on Wednesday.
One year, Bock said, there were just two black people in the U.S. with newly minted doctorates in computer science on the job market. Google hired one, and Microsoft hired the other, he said.
But the educational choices of some minorities don't entirely account for the lack of diversity at technology companies.
For instance, Google employs more than 2,900 salespeople in the U.S. as of last August. Just 79 of them, or 3 percent, were black; 127, or 4 percent, were Hispanic. More than 2,000, or about 70 percent, were white.
Google attributes this to unconscious biases that have historically favored white people.
We like people who are like us, who watch the same shows, who like the same food, who have the same backgrounds, Bock told PBS.
To address this, Google has put more than 20,000 employees through training sessions to raise their awareness of their biases.
Google is also trying to do more recruiting at colleges with large minority enrollments.

Cadaver Dogs
Warhawk, Twin Peaks
7 S. Broadway
Denver, CO, 80209
Doors 8:30 PM / Show 9:30 PM
This event is 21 and over
Cadaver Dogs are a motherfucker. With their paws planted firmly at the front of the party bus, Cadaver Dogs are happy to take you on a fast ride to the ends of decency, showing no mercy for those foolish enough to step in the path of their roaring rock spectacle. Like fireworks stuffed into live rats, the five tracks that make up their debut EP "Thrill Ride" explode with a nasty flash, leaving their grime behind to fester in your boiling brain. Three rock n' roll stallions have finally created the perfect soundtrack to gambling on Doberman fights in Reno and getting your first hand job behind a carnival side show tent. It's dirty, vivacious, and you know you shouldn't be allowed to like it, but your head keeps spinning and now there's no turning back. This is music for the depraved and the decadent, the fiendish and the self-indulgent. So who do you think you are?
"This one's almost all guitar - big, distorted, consuming guitar, the kind you have to brace yourself against." -Kiernan Maletsky, Westword
Twin Peaks are a rock n' roll act that seek to blend different guitar noises with the sounds that drums sometime make then add a layer of the deep, tonal bass into a form or pattern that can be perceived in a linear fashion that makes sense to your brain and appeals to your sense of the familiar. Watch and marvel as we plug into your heads and mesmerize you with rapid-fire imagery and guitar solos and shit. We put an album out in 2011 called Oolaroo, another one out in 2013 called Lifetaking and we're currently recording our 3rd, tentatively titled Das Butt.

Travel-Friendly Vegan Food
Say no to overpriced in-flight dining and unhealthy fast-food combos by packing these tasty dishes.
Plane food. (Did you just sigh or say "ugh" at that? We did too.) Often bland and hard to identify, rarely vegan, and extremely expensive, airplane food is much more trouble than its worth. Skip the little tray all together by bringing your own tasty meals on board. Plus, we've found plenty of recipes that go beyond the PBJ-and-carrot-sticks combo.
What's In, What's Out
There are plenty of snacks, treats, and spreads that get the "all clear" for the friendly skies. According to the US Department of Homeland Security's Transportation and Safety Administration (TSA) guidelines, all solid food that is wrapped or in a container is allowed, as is whole, unpeeled natural food. However, if you dig into an apple while waiting in line to check your bag, you'll have to wrap it up before hitting the security checkpoint. All liquids and semi-liquids (juice, coconut milk yogurt, hummus, and the like) should be placed into containers no larger than three ounces (the same as shampoo and soap). And with two tablespoons to each fluid ounce, you can bring on six tablespoons-worth of peanut butter without batting an eyelash. Yum.
Tricks of the Trade
You can still have a tasty meal onboard without purchasing prepackaged items at a terminal restaurant or paying an arm and a leg while in flight. This handy article from The New York Times offers many suggestions on how to pack food for your next flight. Two of the most interesting are to pack food that can be heated with hot water. Pack frozen vegan enchiladas in a plastic container and with sauce in a two-ounce cup—by the time you're aboard, you're ready to eat. In addition, you can reheat cooked pasta in flight by asking an attendant for half a cup of tea water. Add it to your container with your pasta, and close it up for a few minutes. Pour out the excess water in your original cup and now you have a hot meal.
Cruising Altitude Crudités (and More)
Pasta dishes and hearty salads are great ideas for carry-on meals. Fusilli with Cilantro Pesto is a perfect option: pack your pasta, throw the pesto into a two-ounce container, and use the hot water method. If you're not the biggest cilantro fan—some of us here at VN are with you—this classic recipe for Pasta with Pesto works just as deliciously. Adding Marinated Tomatoes wouldn't hurt, either. Plus the Easy Artichoke Pasta Salad is so good, the person with the window seat might swap seats just for a few bites. Salads are another easy meal to take on board (just make sure to pack your dressing separately!). For long trips, however, we suggest hearty salads like the Super Easy Quinoa Salad, the colorful Stoplight Quinoa Salad, or some Miso Lentil Salad (add some brown rice to really fill yourself up). Nobody likes wilted greens, after all.
With a little creativity, some planning, and the right-sized containers, you can eat like vegan royalty at 40,000 feet. Now, if only they would give you a little more legroom.

Hello Fred:
My posting got dispatched prematurely.
Hello Fred:
Cannot have two death records for the same person. Up to you to determine which one applies to your Montgomery Charles Muir.
The one I have is for this person, born in 1909, died in Westmount, Quebec. He was the husband of Ada Brown Watson. I have not searched for his marriage date.
Let me know what you think of this option.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. The primary ballots have been mailed and now it's up to you to cast your vote this election season.
They're given a week to mail out all the ballots, but the Mesa County Clerk and Recorders Office sent out all 52 thousand ballots today to give voters a few extra days to make their choices.
Mesa County voters have until June 24th at 7 P.M. to get their ballots in the system, and there's a variety of ways, in person or electronically, to ensure your voice is heard.
"If someone doesn't get a ballot in the mail by Monday, they should give us a call, specifically if they've changed their address very recently, their ballot may be coming back to us and we need to issue them a second one," says Catherine Lenhart, the Mesa County Elections Director.
Mesa County generally produces about a 50% response rate from its constituents during the primary election period.
There is only one contest within the Republican Party in this year's elections.
Both the Democratic and American Constitution candidates are running unopposed.

Microsoft Shutdown Tool
Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 07/20/2006 05:20 AM [ 0 comment(s) ]
Microsoft has a utility called UPHClean which helps unload the user session quickly and completely at log-off or shutdown. We tried it and it's significantly reduced the amount of time it takes to shutdown the PC. The User Profile Hive Cleanup service helps to ensure user sessions are completely terminated when a user logs off. System processes and applications occasionally maintain connections to registry keys in the user profile after a user logs off. In those cases the user session is prevented from completely ending. This can result in problems when using Roaming User Profiles in a server environment or when using locked profiles as implemented through the Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows XP.
On Windows 2000 you can benefit from this service if the application event log shows event id 1000 where the message text indicates that the profile is not unloading and that the error is "Access is denied". On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 either event ids 1517 and 1524 indicate the same profile unload problem.
To accomplish this the service monitors for logged off users that still have registry hives loaded. When that happens the service determines which application have handles opened to the hives and releases them. It logs the application name and what registry keys were left open. After this the system finishes unloading the profile.

i found a site a while back i will try and find it for you
Can anyone recommend a site where you can download free QUALITY sound effects?
The Drama teacher needs some "stampeding horses" for an upcoming production and wanted some help tracking them down.
i found a site a while back i will try and find it for you
Sound Dogs, while not free, only charge for the one effect that you need. Quite a good range too.
Might not help for this but take a look at http://creativecommons.org/ - a whole raft of stuff, much of which can be used freely (but check - there are lots of different restrictions)
There's all sorts of interesting stuff there which could be useful in a variety of subjects (and you can add your own if you're creative in any way)
i have some sound effects please pm me for them i cant upload them on here

Cup: Petty lands increased commitment from sponsor Smithfield Foods
Jan 15, 2014, 2:06 PM EST
It's now up to Richard Petty Motorsports to bring home the bacon after sponsor Smithfield Foods, the largest pork processor in the world, announced that it would increase its sponsorship and investment in the Sprint Cup/Nationwide Series franchise today in New York.
Smithfield and its family of meat brands will now serve as primary sponsors of the No. 43 Ford Fusion and driver Aric Almirola for 29 Sprint Cup races in each of the next three seasons. RPM has disclosed that Smithfield's additional investment will lead to more testing and R&D for the team.
"This expanded partnership is evidence the [NASCAR] platform has worked and continues to work," Petty said in a team release. "We have worked very hard the past two seasons to position our team as business and marketing leaders in the NASCAR landscape.
"Smithfield's continued commitment with us for years to come will allow us to focus on winning on the track while still working with Smithfield Foods to expand their business."
Also included in the deal is a contract extension for Almirola that's concurrent with Smithfield's new pact. Last year marked his second full season behind the wheel of the No. 43, and he collected six Top-10 finishes en route to an 18th place finish in the 2013 Sprint Cup championship.
In comments made during today's press conference in New York, Almirola said that he now feels he has the opportunity to be "a lot more confident" in regards to his future in the sport.
"I'm not worried that if I make one mistake or whatever that they're going to be looking to figure out the next guy that's going to come in and do better," he said.
"[Smithfield's commitment] gives me a lot of confidence knowing that I have Richard Petty Motorsports behind me, and then obviously Smithfield Foods behind me and that they're committed to me and they support me…It feels great to not have to be worrying in June or July where I'm going to get my next paycheck from."
As for Smithfield CEO Larry Pope, whose company first started its partnership with RPM in 2012, he noted that his group has tried racing sponsorships before but didn't achieve success. However, this time, they know what to do.
"We've been reluctant to put so much money - we've been racing three times before over the last 20 years without real success because we didn't know how to activate it," Pope said. "…With the marketing people we've added to our organization, they know how to do it. Some of which have racing experience with Anheuser-Busch, so they know how to activate this. They're teaching us how to activate it.
"Aric is driving and Aric is a wonderful young man off the track interacting [with fans], and we're learning how to use it. Without abusing him, we're learning how to use it. It's a process, and the more we do it, the more we like it."

Erroneous error message likely due to add-on program
A Firefox user receiving nuisance "stopped working" error messages may have an add-on that was installed inadvertently with another program. It's a common problem and not difficult to fix, although some trial and error may be necessary.
Special to The Seattle Times
Q: Several times each day I get an error message: "Firefox has stopped working," and am left with two choices: "Check online for a solution and close the program" and "Close the program."
If I choose the check online option, I see a progress bar for a few seconds and then nothing. When I check Task Manager, nothing is running. If I choose to close the program, the error message goes away and I can continue as though nothing happened. I have removed and reinstalled Firefox. Ideas?
— Bob Gardner
A: By far, the most common cause of this problem is a misbehaving add-on. And it may be an add-on you don't use and aren't aware of.
That's because some software providers have an irritating habit of installing additional programs when you install their program. Yes, they usually ask if you want to install those additional programs during the installation process, but I can't count how many times I've clicked right through those prompts without noticing until it was too late.
So what to do? Click on the Firefox button in the upper-left corner and then select Add-Ons. You'll see a list of all your add-ons, and you can disable or remove the ones you don't want. It may take a little trial and error to locate the offending add-on.
Q: When I boot up my laptop, I get a message telling me it does not recognize the battery so it cannot charge it. It gives me a choice of clicking on F1, F2 or F3. I click on F1 because I don't know what to do on the other two choices. I have a Vista system and I keep the computer plugged into the electricity so don't really need the battery, but I don't like warning messages. Can you help?
— Elaine Stark
A: You don't say what brand and model of your computer, so I can't say for sure this step will eliminate the error message, but I'm guessing it will: Remove the battery.
It's not uncommon, by the way, for batteries to go bad after a few years. And it's tempting to replace them with less expensive, non-brand replacement batteries.
In my experience, however, I've found that the non-brand replacements often go bad much more quickly. As a result, I generally recommend paying extra for the real deal.
Q: After we use our home computer, we always run an anti-virus scan (Norton 360). However, we are experiencing a situation where our computer does not shut down after the completion of the scan. We have to manually shut it down and restart it. When the computer restarts, it is very slow, sluggish and impossible to operate.
Do you have any ideas or suggestions as to why this is happening?
— Hideko Go
A: My guess is that you either have some malware on the computer or a misbehaving program. The fact that the computer is slow after a restart leans me toward the malware theory.
Anti-virus programs are important, but they don't protect you from all threats. I'd recommend downloading one or more anti-malware programs to see what they can find. My personal favorite is Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, which you can download at malwarebytes.org.
Q: I am plagued by chronic redirects while using Firefox. You recommended the add-on Redirect Remover. The online posts reviewing the add-on are mixed, as are the reviews for the sister add-on Redirect Cleaner.
Have you reviewed both, and can you recommend one over the other? Are they largely benign, or am I importing a potential for a host of other problems? I employ Microsoft Security Essentials, with regular full scans.
— Bruce Northey
A: I have tried Redirect Remover as well as Redirect Cleaner, and I had no problems with the product. (I don't, however, recall recommending either product.) Unfortunately, it doesn't work with the latest version of Firefox. For security reasons, it's important to use the latest version of the browser, so I'd opt for Redirect Cleaner.
For those who don't know, the main reason to block Webpage redirects is that they are often used by scammers to take you to places you don't want to go.

"Centre should frame measures for voluntary compliance"
Stating that by 2030 India's population will be the highest in the world and cross 170 crore in 2060, a public interest writ petition has been filed in the Supreme Court for a direction to the Centre to frame credible and self-sustainable population control measures.
Social activist Avishek Goenka, in his petition, said, "The uneducated who incidentally are also poor, give birth in higher numbers, but do not contribute as a productive resource because they are caught in a vicious cycle of poverty and the same prevents them from accessing the resource of good education, food and health."
He said: "For standard parameters which reflect the control over population growth, we present a dismal picture. Our undernourished population is swelling, the quantum of poor are going up, health care including sanitation is a shambles, housing shortage is widespread, police force is inadequate, menstruating women cannot afford sanitary napkins, the number of jobless are very high, almost half the population is anaemic, the earnings of majority cannot even infuse the required calories in their bodies among multiple similar instances, reflected well further in the petition."
The petition presents a strong ground for deploying innovative voluntary measures to check widespread population growth, more importantly among the poor and uneducated, because, "neither as an economy we can afford to raise them for free nor see them living a condemned life of hunger and deprivation. Till the time the resource-deprived families reduced the number of dependents, it will be impossible to come out of the vicious circle of misery."
He said "It is not that the government is not working on measures aimed at controlling population growth, but there are no war level efforts visible in fighting the greatest threat, which our nation faces. There is a visible lack of initiatives which can help create awareness in population reduction and its resultant benefits. There is no harm in accelerating the pace of achieving intended goals and more if it is possible by involving meagre ready-made resources at one's disposal. It is criminal to contribute to miseries of mankind by contributing to population growth."
Mr. Goenka said that the governments might argue that they had been making sincere efforts but if they were not delivering targeted results, then policies had to be reworked and redeployed. The country was under-resourced and poised to become the most populated nation in a decade and it lags behind other nations in containing population growth.
He sought a direction to the Centre to design and deploy effective game changing tools of voluntary compliance to contain population growth and compulsorily request all ministries to incorporate space for family planning message in their print advertisements; also cost of spreading awareness should be considered as Corporate Social Responsibility; a direction to effectively send the message through both government and privately owned print and electronic media.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - The retirement benefits of officers and firefighters injured in the line of duty would be protected under a bill pending in the New Mexico Legislature.
The bill filed Tuesday by Rep. Paul Pachecho aims to keep New Mexico police, fire and corrections officers from losing part of their retirement when they collect worker's compensation benefits.
Injured public safety officers go into what's called "dead time" and no longer accrue time toward retirement when they're off work recovering
The Line of Duty Injury Act allows and encourages agencies around the state to pay enough administrative time to cover what the injured employees lose toward retirement.
