SharePoint Being Prepped For Rich Media Content
October 4, 2013
According to PR Newswire, a very important event will take place on September 26, 2013: "Equilibrium And Metalogix To Discuss How To Optimize SharePoint For Rich Media." Executives from each of the above companies will host a webinar called," "Enhancing SharePoint to Manage Large Files including Rich Media Content." The presenters will be Sean Barger, Founder, and Laura Clemons, VP Product Management, from Equilibrium and Trevor Hellebuyck, CTO of Metalogix. The group will describe the newest solutions for making SharePoint capable to work with rich media, including scalability, management of large digital media asset libraries, mobility, audio, video, and CAT storage/distribution.
Here is a more detailed list of the topics:
"During the event, the presenters will discuss how the combination of Equilibrium's MediaRich ECM for SharePoint and Metalogix StoragePoint can improve any Microsoft SharePoint deployment without requiring modifications. Attendees will also learn:
- Best practices for management of large files in SharePoint
- How to overcome common issues, such as slow uploads/downloads and time-outs
- How to optimize SharePoint for video playback"
Rich media is the next phase of content management as documentation moves away from basic paper replication. It is important to be able to search these content types, as Arnold IT's Steve Arnold has mentioned, because as the content changes search needs to become richer and more thorough to meet the demands.

Rich Media: Too Expensive to Store?
July 30, 2013
I saw an interesting post called "Cost of Storing All Human Audio visual Experiences." I am no logician, but if one stores "all", then isn't the cost infinite? The person writing the post presents some data which pegs the cost for seven billion people at about $1 trillion a year.
Several observations:
- With the emergence of smart nanodevices with audio and video capabilities, perhaps the estimate is off the mark?
- Once the data are captured, who manages the content? Likely candidates include nation states, companies which operate as nation states, or venture funded start ups?
- How does one find a particular time segment germane to a query pertinent to a patent claim?
Interesting question if one sets aside the "all". The next time I look for a video on YouTube or Vimeo, I will ask myself, "What type of search system is needed to deal with even larger volumes of rich media?"
Is the new Dark Ages of information access fast approaching? Yikes! Has the era already arrived?

Image Search and, of Course, Google
June 13, 2013
Many years ago I lectured in Japan. On that visit, I saw a demonstration of a photo recognition system. Click on a cow and the system would return other four legged animals —- most of the time. Some years later I was asked to review facial recognition systems after a notable misfire in a major city. Since then, my team and I check out the systems which become known to us.
Progress is being made. That's encouraging. However, a number of challenges have to be resolved. These range from false positives to context failures. In the case of a false positive, the person or thing in the picture is not the person or thing one sought. In the case of context failure, the cow painted on the side of a truck is not the same as a cow standing in a field with many other cows clumped around.
Software is bumping up against computational boundaries. The methods available have to be optimized to run in available resources. When there are bigger and faster systems, then fancier math can be used. Today's innovations boil down, in my opinion, to clever manipulations of well known systems and methods. The reason many software systems perform in a similar manner is that these systems share many procedures. Innovation is often optimization and packaging, not a leap frog to more sophisticated numerical procedures. Trimming, chopping down, and streamlining via predictive methods are advancing the ball down the field.
I read with interest "Improving Photo Search: A Step across the Semantic Gap." Google has rolled out enhanced photo search. The system works better than other systems. As Google phrases it:
We built and trained models similar to those from the winning team using software infrastructure for training large-scale neural networks developed at Google in a group started by Jeff Dean and Andrew Ng. When we evaluated these models, we were impressed; on our test set we saw double the average precision when compared to other approaches we had tried. We knew we had found what we needed to make photo searching easier for people using Google. We acquired the rights to the technology and went full speed ahead adapting it to run at large scale on Google's computers. We took cutting edge research straight out of an academic research lab and launched it, in just a little over six months. You can try it out at photos.google.com. Why the success now? What is new? Some things are unchanged: we still use convolutional neural networks — originally developed in the late 1990s by Professor Yann LeCun in the context of software for reading handwritten letters and digits. What is different is that both computers and algorithms have improved significantly. First, bigger and faster computers have made it feasible to train larger neural networks with much larger data. Ten years ago, running neural networks of this complexity would have been a momentous task even on a single image — now we are able to run them on billions of images. Second, new training techniques have made it possible to train the large deep neural networks necessary for successful image recognition.
The use of "semantics" is also noteworthy. As I wrote in my analysis of Google Voice for a large investment bank, "Google has an advantage because it has data others do not have." When it comes to predictive methods and certain types of semantics, the Google data sets give it an advantage over some rivals.
What applied to Google Voice applies to Google photo search. Google is able to tap its data to make educated guesses about images. The semantics and the infrastructure have a turbo boosting effect on Google.
The understatement in the Google message should not be taken at face value. The Google is increasing its lead over its rivals and preparing to move into completely new areas of revenue generation. Images? A step but an important one.

ArnoldIT Announces New Gourmet De Ville Video Shorts
May 15, 2013
Gourmet De Ville, a new ArnoldIT information service launched in January of this year, will now be adding a video service to its print coverage of artisanal food and spirits.
Jasmine Ashton, editor for Gourmetdeville.com, will be hosting the weekly videos spotlighting innovative recipes and the latest industry trends.
Ashton remarked:
"I am very excited to be a part of this new service and look forward to sharing my insights on the craft food and beverage sector with viewers. I believe that the demand for information on gourmet food, beverages, and industry leaders is exploding. Gourmet De Ville makes high value information available in a concise, easy to understand format. Our videos will simply be another avenue to explore this content."
In her first video, Ashton covers Limoncello Tiramisu. She introduces the video by saying:
"In Italy, it's common to have a bottle of Limoncello brought out after dessert. The tangy lemon liqueur is believed to help you digest all that great pasta and rich sauces.
But we heard about a chef in Florida who makes Limoncello Tiramisu — an after-dinner drink and dessert all rolled into one."
We are looking forward to watching Gourmet De Ville's video coverage in the coming weeks and believe that they will be a refreshing addition to the content that is already available on the site.

Measuring the Worth of Social Media
April 26, 2013
When social media first started any companies thought it was a useless tool meant only for the younger crowd. Why would an established company want to promote itself through a tool meant for kids? According to LucidChart in the article, "Is Social Media Worthless?" the company polled 3,000 users on their Web behavior and found that social media played a small role in driving Web traffic. Social media experts are trying to justify the place it plays in a company's business, but if it loses money it does not have any value.
"Social media denizens are, by and large, in it for themselves. They'll promote your brand if it means their share of a cool $20 million, or a free pair of glasses, or whatever else you're offering them. Everyone likes to pat themselves on the back and feel like they're serving their fellow man, whether that's retweeting a funny video or donating money to a favorite charity. But if your fans aren't buying your product, or influencing others to buy your product, they're not really fans at all. And all the brand awareness in the world isn't going to change that."
Harsh words for social media if the source is accurate. It echoes the era of MySpace filled with teenage girls and boys touting their social lives and interests. Social media has its place, but it needs to be reexamined in generating revenue for real life companies.

Autonomy Lands Rich Media Deal
April 24, 2013
Autonomy just scored a plum placement, we learn from, "ENCO Systems Selects HP Autonomy for Audio and Video Processing," hosted at Market Watch. ENCO, who makes the radio and TV audio-automation software DAD and DADtv, just selected Autonomy's IDOL server for inclusion in the next version of enCaption, their automated captioning-generation system. We learn from the press release:
"ENCO Systems provides live automated captioning solutions to the broadcast industry, leveraging technology to deliver closed captioning by taking live audio data and turning it into text. ENCO Systems is capitalizing on IDOL's unique ability to understand meaning, concepts and patterns within massive volumes of spoken and visual content to deliver more accurate speech analytics as part of enCaption3. . . .
"enCaption3 is the only fully automated speech recognition-based closed captioning system for live television that does not require speaker training. It gives broadcasters the ability to caption their programming, including breaking news and weather, any time, day or night, since it is always on and always available. enCaption3 provides captioning in near real time–with only a 3 to 6 second delay–in nearly 30 languages."
Despite the soured relationship between HP and Autonomy, whom the tech giant snapped up in 2011, HP continues to leverage this increasingly valuable resource. Founded in 1996, Autonomy grew from research originally performed at Cambridge University.
Two engineers from MIT launched ENCO back in 1983, with a focus on computer-based process control applications in the industrial realm. The company branched into digital audio delivery and radio automation in 1991; since then, broadcasters large and small around the world have come to rely on their technologies.

YouTube and Its Content Play
March 31, 2013
Quite an interesting write up this: "Lessons Learned from YouTube's $300 M Hole." First, the "m" means millions. Second, the write up provides a useful thumbnail about Google's content play for YouTube. The idea, if I understand it, was to enlist fresh thinking and get solid content from some "big names".
The innovative approach elicited this comment in the write up:
There were a lot of recipients of this money, and many of them were major media companies trying their hand at online video that received some fat checks, up to $5M a piece, to launch TV-like channels. What we all found out is that, no matter how hard you push them and how much money you spend on them, YouTube doesn't work like TV…and funding it that way is daft.
If the article is accurate, one channel earned back money. The other hundred or so did not.
The lessons learned from Google's "daft" approach struck me as confirmation of the observations I offered in a report to a former client about Thomson Reuters' "what the heck" leap into the great Gangnam style of YouTube; namely:
- Viewership and Google money are correlated
- Online video is different from "real" TV shows
- Meeting needs of users is different from meeting the needs of advertisers.
The conclusion of the write up struck me as illustrative of the Google approach:
With regards to the last lesson, allow me to submit to any YouTube employees out there that the ad agency doesn't have the power in this equation. YouTube is a young company, it does not need to convert 100% of its value to dollars. Please, let the advertisers figure out for themselves how to tackle this very new medium instead of trying to shape the medium to meet their needs. Seems to me, that's the strategy that got Google where it is today.
In short, Google may have lost contact with what made it successful.

Search for Text Is Terrible. Now Search Has a New Challenge.
December 6, 2012
The question is, "Is search up for a new challenge?" I think of basic search like the high school athlete who was a star as a senior. In college, the person rode the bench. In the pros, the individual has an opportunity to attend a game.
In "Time Spent In Mobile Apps Is Starting To Challenge Television, Flurry Says", the grim future of information retrieval becomes apparent. The article points out that fiddling with Web apps is getting into TV couch potato territory.
How does one find a TV show? I still watch folks channel flip. When I attend meetings with 20 somethings, the hook is a particular show regardless of format. Well, there is one format which is rarely mentioned—reading a book.
Search of text is not too slick. Now with the shift to digital media, can search make digital content findable? How about finding an app via iTunes? What about nailing down a new documentary? What about finding a video snippet displayed within an app on a mobile phone?
There is a growing need. Perhaps rich media search will work in a more useful manner than text search.

Welcome to the Fakenham Craft Market website. Use the navigation buttons above to navigate your way around the site.
The Fakenham Craft Market is held in the Parish Church in Fakenham, Norfolk. It has been in the Church since August 2005. Originally we were in the Market Square (hence the name "Market") but crafts and inclement weather do not mix and so decided to move to an inside venue but wanted something that was in the centre of town. Adrian Bell (the Vicar of the Church) was more than happy to accommodate us and it has turned into a very successful Craft Market with approximately 25 stalls each month.
It is held on the 4th Saturday of each month from March to December inclusive to coincide with the Farmers' Market (and this has added to our success). There may be one or two months when we do not coincide with the Farmers' Market due to the Church being used for other things. The December market is usually held on the 1st or 2nd Saturday.
At the moment, we have a full quota of Jewellery, Cards and Wood Turning, so would appreciate it that you do not apply if this is your craft as refusal may offend.
2014 Dates and Booking Form are now available.

Minimum Fines For Passing School Buses In NC Bill
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina motorists convicted of passing a stopped school bus picking up or dropping off students would face a $500 minimum fine in addition to other punishments in legislation going to Gov. Pat McCrory's desk.
The House agreed Tuesday to Senate changes to the bill, named for an 11-year-old boy killed last December when police say a car struck him at a Forsyth County bus stop.
In the "Hasani N. Wesley Students' School Bus Safety Act," a driver who hits a child and faces a felony would receive a minimum $1,250 fine. A conviction resulting in death would mean at least $2,500.
The measure requires drivers convicted of repeat violations to have their licenses revoked for at least one year and possibly permanently. The motorist could get limited driving privileges.

The Store is listed as closing at 11pm on Fridays. I got to the location at 10pm and the worker and owner were very rude. The server said "they're closing." So I simply asked if that was every Friday or just today. Then the owner began screaming WE ARE CLOSED! Very rude and unnecessary I will never eat there again. The food is not worth the poor customer service.

Went there for dinner. The rolls were hard as rocks, told the waitress and tried to lie about it. The pizza was soggy. The waitress was unattentive. Poor experience.
Posted by Disappointed with my $ 8.50 sub on 06/15/2014
My office ordered lunch off of a website and my sub was priced at $4. 99 but when it arrived it cost $8.50. I looked up the price of the meat ball sub on this Web site and it said $6.00. Pricing is a moving target with this restaurant. The sub and fries were delivered in a Styrofoam box. The bread was soggy and chewy. The fries were soggy and greasy. The box was dripping from water condensation. My lunch was garbage. I called the restaurant and was told by the manager that this is how they do things and they are aware that their packaging causes an issue with moisture. She said that they have been doing it this way for six years. I asked if the owner knew about this issue and I was told "of course" , the manager is responsible for the decision to use Styrofoam contains . In conclusion, my lunch was overpriced and the restaurant manager didn't care.

Love Big Louie's Hollywood. Feels like family there. Great deals on real pizza. Never had a disappointing meal there, and their garlic rolls are the best..

Had the pizza, it was ok. Sauce is sweet, cheese was not too tasty.
Posted by Rosie on 08/27/2010
This is a very small neighborhood establishment but it sure had a big bang for your buck. I love the mussels marinara, the eggplant parm and especially the sicilian pizza. The only drawback is that when they are busy, you might share a table with someone you don't know...Not bad if you are in for new conversation. Try them, I think you will like them.
Posted by mary913 on 02/05/2009
Big Louie's is a good neighborhood restaurant. They are not fancy but they are consistant. I like the spagetti and meatballs but when I'm in the mood to splurge I get the seafood medley in a cream sauce, awesome! Their garlic rolls are addictive. They are the exception in a city void of consistantly good restaurants.

CES 2014: LG announces G Flex for AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint
Summary: LG will soon be launching their new flexible display high end smartphone for the US market. It should be available in the first quarter from three US carriers.
We have seen people testing out the LG G Flex international model over the past month and yesterday at CES LG revealed that AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint would be rolling out the flexible smartphone in the next couple of months.
The LG G Flex has a curved six inch display that is curved along its length to fit the palm of your hand and the shape of your face. The OLED plastic display can actually be pressed down flat onto a table and then move back into its curved shape, but it really isn't designed for you to flex it constantly.
In addition to the flexible display, the back has a self-healing coating that is designed to help reduce the effects of daily wear and tear. Like the LG G2, there are also rear controls for power and volume.
The LG G Flex has a 2.26 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 13 megapixel camera, 3,500 mAh battery (it is curved as well), and LG features such as KnockON, Slide Aside, Qslide, and Dual Window. I understand the curved display is also designed to provide an optimized video experience.
The LG G Flex should be available in the first quarter of 2014, but no pricing information has yet been made available.

Kourtney and Khloe to Take Miami Againby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Thank goodness.
Both Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian have signed on for a second season of their E! reality show, Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami. It's still unclear where the sisters are taking it, but "into the toilet" appears to be the leading candidate.
The new season will premiere this summer.
Last year, after being named the stars of their own show, Khloe suddently wed Lakers power forward Lamar Odom; while Kourtney found herself pregnant with a baby that belonged to lazy boyfriend Scott Disick.
It was almost as if producers asked the ladies to spice up their lives in some way. A crazy suspicion, we know. Might their reverse roles this summer, with Khloe getting knocked up and Kourtney walking down the aisle?
Lisa Berger of E! would only tease: "This time it's a whole different world as the pair must embrace their new life roles and juggle their hectic careers as they head back to South Beach where fun always follows."
Pardon us while we vomit.
There has been a saquatch sighting recently in Miami.
Khloe will NOT be having a black baby 4 sure. If new mother Kourtney goes to miami and acts like an irresponsible slut partying and such with her baby in tow she should be arrested for child abuse.
Just when I thought THG wasn't hating when they did the Fashion Face Off with Kim and Kourt in the last post. Of course they have to be negative in some way in this post. Why don't you go bark on yourself and just stopped blogging about the Kardashian girls if you dont like them.. Crazy idea right?

The Woodlands Day School employee accused of assaulting a child was found not guilty Monday. Early last month police arrested Mashia Yusuf and charged her with assault and battery.
Lori Fielding, a mother of two children that attended Woodlands, said she witnessed Yusuf, or Kum Kum as she's referred to, abuse one of the children at the school.
Woodlands Day School fired Yusuf shortly after the incident but refused to comment on the charges or the acquital. Yusuf refused to speak on camera but did say that despite the people that said she was guilty, the judge said otherwise.

I just don't think it's right to force people to go to war. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if they paid people in the military. They have private security people over there making $100,000.
Alan Tapia, 25
A draft makes some sense, but I'm not sure it's fair to make people fight who are anti-war. I was pro-war but I don't think I would support a draft.
Shaun McElhenny, 20
I'm really split on this because Bush tried to make us feel like we could go to war without a lot of sacrifices. Also I'm skeptical because would I be going off to fight for America or fighting for Bush? I would go if I were draftedyou can't have it come down to a matter of opinion. Then that's not a draft. It's just volunteers.

AMD, Verizon Pump Each Other Up
October 22, 2013
Customer testimonials play an odd role in many IT industry announcements. At first glance, they offer proof that technologies are actually being used successfully as advertised, lending credence to vendors' sometimes lofty go-to-market claims. Even the most enthusiastic clients tend to guarded, though, for fear that they may injure relationships with other vendors or negate competitive advantages.
Huawei: No One Bothers Us for Data
October 18, 2013
Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei, long suspected of being in cahoots with Beijing authorities, said Friday that no government has ever asked it to divulge information about citizens. Translation: Anyone concerned about government meddling should be more concerned with Washington's connections to U.S. companies than Beijing's connection to Huawei. It called for global standards on security.
NSA Helps Itself to Americans' Online Address Books
October 15, 2013
The latest revelations by former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden show the NSA is spying on Americans, despite repeated government assurances that it does not do so. The agency reportedly is collecting hundreds of millions of electronic address books and contact lists from people worldwide. Though it is collecting the data overseas, some of it comes from Americans.
Cloud Mate Makes iCloud a Breeze
October 15, 2013
For a company that prides itself on creating intuitive applications, Apple stumbled when it created iCloud. As a Dropbox user, I found little in iCloud that I needed. In fact, finding iCloud on a Mac can be adventurous, although it has a nasty habit of showing up as a default save location when I want to save a file from an app to my hard drive. Cloud Mate aims to take some of the mystery out of iCloud. It gathers up everything in your iCloud and displays it in a single Finder-like window.
Data and Its Derivatives
October 09, 2013
I took a trip in the Wayback machine last week when I attended DataWeek at the invitation of Dun & Bradstreet. As you might recall, D&B is a data company that collects copious amounts of information about individuals and firms and then sells it for use in filling out profiles for business purposes -- an oversimplification, but it will suffice. That data helps companies evaluate business risks.
Nielsen Sets Its Sights on Tweets About TV
October 08, 2013
Nielsen on Monday rolled out Nielsen Twitter TV Ratings, a service it says is the first-ever measure of the total activity and reach of TV-related conversation on Twitter. Nielsen Twitter TV Ratings measure not only "authors" -- or the number of people tweeting about TV programs -- but also the much larger audience of people who actually view those tweets.
MongoDB's Eliot Horowitz: The Database Renaissance Has Begun
October 08, 2013
NoSQL technologies are giving the database landscape a new look as they steadily push a shift from the relational database model. Young entrants to the alternative technology, such as MongoDB, have been gaining traction despite an admitted need to mature with more needed features. "For MongoDB as a part of the NoSQL space, it is a matter of maturity," said Eliot Horowitz, CTO of MongoDB.
The Dawning of the Predictive Business Era
October 07, 2013
A momentous shift in business strategy is taking place. Big Data, cloud computing and mobility, in tandem, are having an enormous impact on how businesses must act -- and react -- across their markets. The agility goal of real-time responses is no longer good enough. What's apparent across more business ecosystems is that businesses must extend their ability to react well into the future.
Facebook to TV Nets: Take Our Data - Please!
October 03, 2013
Facebook reportedly will begin providing TV broadcasters with data about the chatter their shows are inspiring on the site. Facebook is in fierce competition with Twitter to become the primary destination for second-screen users to post their reactions and engage with others while watching TV series, sporting events, and special-occasion broadcasts like the Emmys.
Feds Get Serious About Email Preservation
October 02, 2013
In a paperless society, office file cabinets may become an endangered species. However, the need to store documents will remain. The U.S. government is struggling to develop efficient means to retain billions of electronic messages. NARA is playing a central role through its new Capstone program, which uses a system for the transfer of designated emails from an agency to a NARA archive.
Oracle Plays Catch-Up With In-Memory Database Capabilities
September 24, 2013
Oracle on Monday announced an in-memory option for Oracle Database 12c that will accelerate analytics, data warehousing, reporting, and online transaction processing for Oracle in-memory applications that "deliver extreme performance on Oracle Engineered Systems," according to the company. "This is a story about Oracle being a bit late to the game," said Infostructure Associates' Wayne Kernochan.
Federal Networks Can't Handle Planned IT Upgrades
September 18, 2013
Ambitious plans to improve federal information technology systems could easily founder on the shoals of deficient networks. Government agencies currently are striving to meet the challenges associated with initiatives in five major areas: cloud technology; Big Data management; cybersecurity requirements; data center consolidation; and, increasingly, mobile IT.
Treasure Data's Hiro Yoshikawa: Taking the Open Road With Big Data
September 10, 2013
Businesses and government agencies are in a race to gather, quantify and clarify an ever-increasing stream of data. Housing the bits and pieces of their digital treasures can be just as much of a problem as deciding whether to trust traditional relational platforms or adopt more flexible databases designed to handle unstructured data.
Uncle Sam Wants Your Facebook Data
August 28, 2013
Facebook on Monday released transparency reports of government requests for its users' data. Privacy groups hailed the move as a positive step forward -- rare praise for the company, which has had a checkered relationship with those groups over the years. Facebook's Global Government Requests Report shows that the United States, by far, was the biggest peeper.
Nexenta's Lockareff and Powell: Software-Only Storage for Everyone
August 27, 2013
In the cloud storage competition for customers, a battle is raging over innovative software-only storage systems and wannabe innovators still hawking yesteryear's legacy hardware solutions. Dollars and performance are the battlefield stakes. Nexenta, an open source provider of software-defined storage solutions, is waging the fight with its flagship software-only platform, NexentaStor.
Brazil Proposes Laws to Outlaw Foreign Data Storage
August 21, 2013
Brazil has proposed new laws that would force e-businesses selling to Brazil-based consumers to store personal data about said customers on local servers. Google and Facebook have raised objections to the plan, saying that such requirements would, in the words of Facebook Brazil, "entail huge costs and inefficiencies in online business in the country."
Tokutek's John Partridge: Open Source Is Vested in Big Data
August 20, 2013
Ask Tokutek CEO John Partridge what makes open source such a snug fit for the database industry and for Big Data, and he'll tell you it is the decision-making by engineers that use open source. "For people who for whatever reason really need to access the latest technology, most purchasing decisions today are made by very capable engineers," Partridge said.
A Twist of Timelime Makes Time Tracking More Fun

Let's face it. No one likes keeping track of time spent working. If you're a professional like an attorney, you may be able to pass the task off to someone else. Most of us, though, have to go through the grind of keeping tabs on our work hours ourselves. Some of that grind can be reduced -- maybe even become more enjoyable -- with Timelime.
Getting to Yes: How to Embrace Consumer Clouds Without Losing Control
August 17, 2013
Business is increasingly taking place outside the boundaries of corporate data centers with data being moved to public clouds at an accelerating rate. Collaboration with outside partners, consultants and clients is becoming the norm. It even has a name: "open collaboration." Employees who have embraced the cloud are turning to low-end "consumer grade" file-sharing services for business activities.
Sorting Out the Big Data Myths
August 14, 2013
Debunking myths around Big Data should be a first step to making better business decisions for improving data analysis and data management capabilities in a company. As the volume and purpose of data and business intelligence has dramatically shifted, older notions and misconceptions -- what amount to myths about data infrastructure -- need to updated and corrected, too.
Arq Saves Your Data for a Rainy Day
August 13, 2013
There are lots of free places and free programs to back up data from your Mac so why would you want to pay $40 for software plus $0.095 a gigabyte monthly for storage? The answer to that question may be a no-brainer for you if you only have a few gigs of data that need backing up. For people with larger demands, though, the answer may not be so obvious.
Coraid's Suda Srinivasan: Public Cloud vs. Private vs. Having It All
August 12, 2013
Cloud storage technologies and Big Data are driving rapid industry growth. Cloud storage developed around three models: Infrastructure as a Service; Platform as a Service; and Software as a Service. Merging with these cloud service models are technologies providing cloud computing space and backup services. Don't forget to factor in options such as public cloud, private cloud and hybrid cloud.
Researchers Solve Knotty Problem in Pursuit of Data Storage Breakthrough
August 10, 2013
Researchers at the University of Hamburg have, for the first time, written and deleted data on single hypothetical particles called "skyrmions."

1:00PM EST October 10. 2012 - Stacey Dash told Piers Morgan on his CNN show Tuesday night that her support for Mitt Romney has provoked some serious negative feedback.
The Clueless actress tweeted her political opinion on Sunday, writing: "Vote for Romney. The only choice for your future."
She was immediately slammed with Tweets attacking her. One example: "Wait Stacey Dash is voting for Romney? You get a lil money and you forget that you're black and a woman. Two things Romney hates."
And one of the latest came from Samuel L. Jackson, who said, "Wait, did Stacey Dash Really endorse Romney today?! REALLY????! Is she CRA...........??!"
Dash, 46, told Morgan last night, "I really don't understand the fury. I don't get it. ... I was shocked, really shocked. But you can't expect everyone to agree with you."
Dash explained to Morgan that she was a Democrat and voted for Barack Obama in the last election, but now, "I want the next four years to be different." And she says, "It's my right as an American citizen. ... I chose him not by the color of his skin, but the content of his character."
She says that she saw Romney and his wife on Meet the Press, and "they seemed authentic and genuine in what they said about the country. And the need for us to be united and move forward."
Dash said Romney's running mate, Paul Ryan, called her Tuesday and told her she was brave. He tweeted his thanks to her, saying, "Had a great conversation with @REALStaceyDash this afternoon. Thank you for your support!"
And there has been other positive support from fans, too. TV game show host Chuck Woolery tweeted: "Stacey Dash, a beautiful young black woman, demeaned by the left, because she is for Romney. Hollywood, It's a tough place to speak U'r mind."
__________________________________________________ ____________
In case you live in a cave....behold Stacey Dash
That she is being bashed by her own in a blatant race based tirade is no surprise to me.
Its funny...in my town, there are a ton of Republicans but if you drove through it you would swear it was a Democratic stronghold with all the lawn signs. The overwhelming sentiment amongst the Republicans who choose to not display signs seems to be "who needs the bullshyte from these people, I'll show my support with my ballot".
On the Jersey shore, a friend of mine started getting anonymous letters from a neighbor who referred to his Republican lawn sign with alot of venom.

Letters to the Editor
Facts prove Rep. Lundberg's contentions false — there is a connection between warming and MPB
Dear Editor,
Please beware there are untruths being spoken by uninformed State Rep. Kevin Lundberg in his Aug. 28 guest article on your Web site. A check of factual climatological data shows Lundberg is wrong about there being no factual connection between warming and mountain pine beetle (MPB).
Voters, not governor, should fill vacancies
Dear Editor,
The 2010 statewide elections are more than a year away, but already there are signs of political unrest with the candidates who are running or may run for office on the Democratic ticket.
CUT names champs, chumps in 2009 ratings
Dear Editor,
The Colorado Union of Taxpayers (CUT), a nonpartisan group advocating for taxpayers, recently released its "2009 CUT Ratings of the Legislature." Taxpayer Champions and Guardians, those state legislators voting most often in favor of the taxpayer, were announced.
Juxtaposed headlines reveal bias
Dear Editor,
Breathtaking the bias displayed by The Statesman in its choice of corresponding headlines on page 20 and page 21 of the July 31, 2009 edition.
We have no 'right' to health care
Dear Editor,
The advocates of universal government-paid health care say that medical care is a fundamental right that belongs to everyone. But is it? Our Constitution names the rights to life, liberty and property as fundamental. Yes, property is a human right. Just as we own our own bodies, we own the products of our mental and physical labor. This is why we rightly condemn slavery.
Stop property tax increases now
Dear Editor,
Colorado property tax revenue has soared 164 percent since TABOR passed. The 2008 cost was about $6.4 billion. That equals over $5,000 per average family of four in direct and indirect property taxes. Business taxes are passed on to customers in higher prices.
Mr. President, are you stupid or something?
Dear President Obama and Your Party Members,
As a two-week resident of LaSalle, Colorado, I was enlisted to drive Sen. Ben Nighthorse and Linda Campbell from an event at Island Grove to their hotel in Greeley.
I got unmercifully lost.
Late-license fines are just new taxes — trust me
Dear Editor,
Gov. Ritter and his crew of pirates deserve all the criticism they are getting over new fees, fines and (ahem) taxes on motor vehicles and trailers.
McInnis must be a 'lawyer-lobbyist'
Dear Editor,
I guess that Republican Party Chair Dick Wadhams was right when he uses the phrase "lawyer-lobbyist." A "lawyer lobbyist" doesn't know a Canadian mountain range from an American. He also doesn't know the difference between Boulder and Colorado Springs, as corroborated by "lawyer lobbyist" Scott McInnis in his recent gubernatorial debut.
Bible verse is life giving
Dear Editor,
After reading Warren Hern's article about George Tiller's death in the June 19 issue, I fear that Mr. Hern fears the same thing happening to him. But he should be encouraged by the words of God Himself: "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." (Matthew 10:28)

Varmints is the latest in Chad Arment's series of works collecting media reports of North American cryptids – "hidden" or unexpected animals reported throughout history, collectively the subject matter of cryptozoology. His previous volumes mined newspaper archives for accounts of "wildmen" (The Historical Bigfoot 2006) and huge serpents (Boss Snakes 2008). Varmints eclipses both of its predecessors in scope, collecting 600 reports of mystery maulers at large throughout the United States and Canada, spanning 240 years from 1770 to early 2010.
Some of the tales collected in this massive work will be familiar to anyone conversant with the literature of cryptozoology – North Carolina's 'Santer' and 'Beast of Bladenboro', Connecticut's 'Glawakus' – but most are gathered here for the first time and will be new to readers who lack access to newspaper morgues nationwide.

New Insights into Cancer: Natural Compounds as Safer and Effective Alternatives
Call for Papers
The word "Cancer," no doubt, threatens people around the globe as it is killing ~ ten million people globally per year. The conquest of cancer has posed great challenges to medical sciences. Since it arises from normal cells and nearly every tissue lineage in our body is affected, it is difficult to be treated in a targeted manner. A lot of research is going on in these areas such as epidemiology, diagnosis, association between life-style/diet/infection and the disease, chemo-/radiotherapeutics for precise targeting and cure, immunostimulants, understanding of genetics/epigenetics, application of "omic" technology, and potential exploration of the body's own immune system as nature's tool to fight against cancer. The focus of the entire research is "to fight against only cancer cell without affecting the surrounding normal cells." Mother Nature offers many designer molecules in the form of herbs and dietary/marine sources, which can safely target and kill cancer cells. Mother Nature's cancer treatments are called "natural cancer treatments" or "alternative cancer treatments."
We invite investigators to contribute original research articles as well as review articles which can stimulate the continuing efforts to understand the molecular mechanisms of complex cancer pathogenicity, development of strategies to treat, and natural products/sources as alternative cancer treatments and which can combat chemo-/radiotoxicity, integrated approaches for effective cancer prevention/cure, immune boosters from natural sources as anticancer agents, and any other related articles.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- New modalities for cancer prevention particularly with alternatives from natural (herbal/dietary) sources: in vitro/ in vivo/human studies and clinical trials
- Advances in epigenetics and cancer: role of natural anticancer agents as epigenomic modifiers
- Stem cell as potential targets for cancer intervention by alternatives
- Naturals to support conventional cancer therapy
- Potentials of immunomodulators and immunonutrients for cancer treatment
- Role of pro-/prebiotics and antimicrobials/marine compounds against cancer
- Concepts for developing effective strategies to treat cancer patients
- Ethical issues on the use of alternatives for cancer therapies

A New Take on an Old Favorite: the Grown-Up Grilled Cheese Sandwich
March 23, 2014 by Diane Berry · 2 Comments
For a delicious hot meal for hungry campers, try a new twist on the traditional grilled cheese sandwich. Each family member can personalize the ingredients as they desire and they can be made either on a stove top in a sauté pan, or in a counter top griddle, such as the George Foreman Grill, which can be a wonderful appliance to bring camping for quick and easy meals. I have used both the brand name grill and a generic model with equal success. Either the grill or the sauté pan on stove top will do the trick. Butter the bread, then add mayo, spinach, onion as desired Ingredients: Two slices of bread per sandwich (we like to use whole wheat) Butter, mayonnaise, mustard as desired (I like to add a mayo with a bit of horseradish thrown in for a bit of a bite but Terry is not crazy about that) Spinach or lettuce for a bit of greenery Thin sliced meat: turkey, beef, salami, etc. (we like to combine beef and turkey) Sliced cheese (our favorite is provolone) Sliced tomatoes and pickles...

A Delicious Hot Meal for Hungry Campers
March 9, 2014 by Diane Berry · 1 Comment
One of the most important components of a successful camping or RV trip is food. If you are looking for a new idea for a delicious hot camping meal one filling suggestion is a breakfast burrito. Though the name implies this is a morning meal, our family has enjoyed them at all times of the day for all types of meals. Ingredients: Eggs (two per person) Meat (this can be ham, bacon, sausage, beef; our favorite is chicken) Potatoes (either whole potatoes, cut small, or hash browns) Onion, to taste Chiles or chile sauce Cheese (we like to use a shredded low fat Mexican cheese combination) Tortillas, either 8 or 10 inch, as desired (we prefer the whole wheat, low carb variety) Salt and Pepper to taste Sour cream if desired Directions: Put eggs in a bowl and scramble with a fork. Lightly scramble them on stove top. Cut up meat and sauté until cooked, adding seasonings as desired Sauté potatoes with onion until they are cooked and browned. We like to use refrigerated "Simply Natural" potatoes,... [Read more...]
As the Boudin Turns
February 4, 2014 by Rex Vogel · Leave a Comment
Philadelphia might have the cheese-steak sandwich. New York may boast of its pizza, and Texas has BBQ—but Southwest Louisiana has boudin, and eating it guarantees a tingling palate and a full stomach. Boudin is one of most unique, tasty, and distinctly uncorrupted regional specialties in America. (Source: seriouseats.com) In many homes, boudin is more revered than crawfish, with recipes passed along for generations. Chances are, if you don't live in or around Louisiana you haven't heard of boudin. Boudin, a sausage made with pork, rice, and seasonings is generally considered the signature food of Acadiana and other rural parts of southwestern Louisiana. The pronunciation is a bit awkward. Visitors often say "boo-DIN" or "bow-DIN". The locals say "boo-DAN". If you're having trouble with the pronunciation, just ask for a link. Most locals use that colloquial term, anyway. I had my first taste of boudin last winter and I am seriously hooked. History of Boudin Boudin is... [Read more...]
Thanksgiving: Giving Thanks for Our RV Lifestyle
November 27, 2013 by Rex Vogel · Leave a Comment
Many will be on the road traveling today and throughout this Thanksgiving weekend. Thanksgiving is the biggest travel weekend in America, and RVers are out in force, back on the road, crossing the country in their RVs to spend Thanksgiving with family and friends. And many Snowbirds are traveling south to their favorite Sunbelt roost to avoid the rigors of another northern winter. I have so much to be thankful for! I give thanks to my partner—my wife Dania, my co-pilot—and our family and friends. With a lifelong love of travel, a condo-on-wheels has always been our destiny. Yes, we're living our dream! We've wintered in Southern California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, and Alabama. Our RV travels have taken us to over 40 states and four western provinces. I am thankful as Canadian Snowbirds that we have the opportunity of celebrating Thanksgiving in October (Canadian Thanksgiving) and again in November. Thanksgiving offers the opportunity to reflect on life, liberty, and the pursuit... [Read more...]
Put Your Passion on Your Plate
November 24, 2013 by Rex Vogel · Leave a Comment
When Hank Williams wrote Jambalaya in 1952, he captured the essence of the Cajun self-proclaimed passion for good food and good friends. Longfellow-Evangeline State Historic Site in St. Martinsville explores the cultural interplay among the diverse peoples along the famed Bayou Teche. © Rex Vogel, all rights reserved The Acadians who settled in the bayous and swamps of Southern Louisiana developed a unique and authentic cooking style. Louisiana has an appetite for food, music, and fun that is best summed up in the Cajun phrase laissez les bons temps rouler—let the good times roll. Based on a survey of 1.3 million people across the country, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ranked Louisiana as the nation's happiest state. Many reasons likely led to this distinction, but I'm certain that the Bayou State's incredible cuisine played a major role. Bite into boudin and see if a smile doesn't break out. Here, you don't just eat. You dine with gusto. Cajun Country Cajun... [Read more...]
The convenience of a coffee machine
September 12, 2013 by Canadianladybug · 5 Comments
Starting tomorrow in Canada, it's the anniversary sale at Wal-Mart. And on the first page of the flyer, our eyes saw the special for a Keurig machine like the one we have at home. 69$ Canadian. Hmmmm. We are seriously thinking of purchasing one of the trailer when we are away from home. Like I mentioned, we have one at home but bringing it back and forth is a little bit inconvenient. The risk of breaking it increases as well. We use the one at home often – whether to make coffee, tea or simply boiling water. My husband especially likes it when we have to boil water for noodles. We put a bit in the bottom of the pot and start the top of the oven. Then with the help of the Keurig and the kettle, we boil water and incorporate it in the pot. Seems silly at first hand but we find that the boiling process is faster when we do so. At the trailer, we have a dinky kettle that sings when it reaches the boiling level when it's on the gas oven. It's my... [Read more...]
Tefal Actifry – a fabulous appliance to have
June 3, 2013 by Canadianladybug · 1 Comment
May 2013 – Linen Chest, a chain of store in Canada, is having a new contest. Actually it is their first ever Pin It and Win It contest especially created to celebrate Mother's Day. The contest was simple. All I had to do was to like their contest page, follow their Pinterest account, pin the items I really like from their Mother's Day Contest, and voilà. Since I had a Pinterest account, I pinned a few things in a board with my wish list of things I would like to have. Once I was done I sort of forgot about it… Mother's Day came and went by. Fast forward to two weeks ago and I realized that I have a message in my junk folder. As I check it out I realized that I won the prize for the contest – a 250$ gift card at Linen Chest. All I had to do was to let them know which store was closest to me. I emailed them and waited for their reply. Meanwhile, I wondered what we could purchase… New towels? Costco has better prices on these. New small... [Read more...]
7 Tips for Planning a Successful Camping Trip
May 20, 2013 by Rex Vogel · 2 Comments
If you are going on a camping trip planning is essential. Camping at Arches National Park, Utah. © Rex Vogel, all rights reserved Whether you are a retired senior planning the trip of a lifetime, a snowbird, family looking for an economical way to vacation, or a couple looking to get away from the stresses of the work week, camping provides the perfect alternative to the conventional holiday. It also allows you to experience the fresh air that camping in the countryside offers and to meet new friends. But like any getaway, whether it's for a weekend, a month, or an extended period, camping requires careful preparation to ensure all goes smoothly. When you think of what you'll need for a road trip, a common list unfolds. Food, beverages, snacks, paper products, lawn chairs, maps, and GPS are all normal items you might bring along. Packing List The night before leaving on the camping trip will be less hectic if you plan ahead what to pack. Be careful not to over pack, take only... [Read more...]
Mexican S'mores, a new camping tradition…
April 30, 2013 by Dana Ticknor · 3 Comments
Last summer, some family friends shared with us a special treat that has now become one of our favorite ever desserts! We reserve it to 'camping', and don't do it very often so that it stays 'special'. We had never heard of Mexican S'mores before! They are a slight twist on regular s'mores; I don't care for s'mores generally… I like a few marshmallows roasted golden brown with the insides all mushy, but I don't like traditional s'mores. For Mexican S'mores, you need the typical s'more's chocolate and marshmallows, but instead of graham crackers, you'll want to have tortillas, butter (we only use the real thing – have you ever read about margarine???? :p), and aluminum foil. . Mexican S'mores are super easy to make, and a favorite of all ages! Spread softened butter thinly on one side of each tortilla, then place marshmallows and chocolate (we usually... [Read more...]
Alabama Mardi Gras Comes to Kentucky
January 22, 2013 by Maxye & Lou Henry · Leave a Comment
To escape winter in north-central Kentucky, we decided to head south to the Gulf Coast and chose an RV park near Gulf Shores, Alabama, for the month of January. As we toured the area, we noticed that slowly the Christmas decorations were being replaced by Mardi Gras colors. Rex, the King of Carnival, selected the Mardi Gras colors in 1892. Purple stands for justice, green for faith, and gold for power. Wreaths, banners, tinsel swags and signs started appearing in shop windows and on homes. Trees were redecorated with new ornaments and garlands in those special hues. Stores displayed hats, beads and party supplies. Bakeries hung signs encouraging hostesses to "Order Your King Cake Now!" King cake is a brioche-type pastry, rolled or braided into a circle. It is flavored with cinnamon and sugar-frosted in Mardi Gras colors. A token — a coin, a bean, or a tiny plastic baby — is hidden inside. Whoever gets the token is the king or queen of the party. Nowadays most bakeries won't put... [Read more...]

Brunswick locals feeling left in the dark
Residents of Brunswick are demanding better lighting for the streets near Sydney Road, after the recent spate of assaults against women in their area.PT3M6S http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-3965x 620 349 May 29, 2014

Brunswick locals are demanding improved lighting for side streets after three assaults on women near Sydney Road.
Since the death of Jill Meagher 20 months ago, many residents have felt at risk, and the local traders' association is planning a Street Smart workshop on Tuesday to provide safety advice.
The manager of the Sydney Road Brunswick Association, Claire Perry, said: ''[The streets] feel very unsafe for a lot of people. Some are lit on one side of the street and the light is very dim.

''After these last few incidents, the council might realise that it is a very, very important issue for everyone in our community.''
Elizabeth Pertile, a long-time resident of Blyth Street, says she finds herself ''running home like a crazy maniac'' because the streets are so dark. ''You feel a little insecure when you can't see 10 or 20 metres ahead of you,'' she said.
''You just don't know who's out there and there's always that threat.''
What has been spent of Moreland Council's $125,000 lighting budget for 2013-14 has gone on lights along the Upfield bike trail.
Moreland mayor Lambros Tapinos said the council ''shares the community's safety concerns and is working hard to address issues on a number of fronts''.
On Tuesday, the council met CitiPower to request quotes for an upgrade to stronger LED lights for some street lamps, particularly in the streets that lead from Sydney Road to Brunswick train stations.
According to the council, the current level of lighting in Brunswick is above Australian standards.
The latest crime statistics for Brunswick, released last Wednesday, show a small increase in the number of non-domestic assaults to 597 in the past year.
Home burglary has increased by 18.4 per cent, but robbery has decreased by 13.3 per cent to 98 incidents in the past year.

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up

813 St. Emanuel
Houston, TX 77003
Category: Music Venues
Region: East End
Countless musicians have been derided for appealing to the masses. But here's where things get tricky: Good pop music isn't especially easy to write, unless you're Peter, Bjorn & John. And now, after spending a few years trying to get away from the pop sound that made them famous, the Swedish trio is getting back to what it does best. Success for this band is pretty simple, actually — you just put your lips together and blow. PB&J broke huge with their inescapable 2006 single "Young Folks," and spent the next few years trying to prove their mettle with two ambitious, noise-influenced albums that ultimately didn't really strike a chord with fans. Fortunately, the phrase "return to their roots" has been frequently attached to PB&J's new album, Gimme Some. The album finds the Stockholm boys firmly back in the pop arena, producing happy songs about depressing subjects, with plenty of winks and nods to the '80s. Critical reaction to the new album has been overwhelmingly favorable, and PB&J have responded in kind. Their most recent shows have been mostly composed of Gimme Some tracks, although of course the old fan favorites still make an appearance or two. Because let's face it: It wouldn't be a Peter, Bjorn & John show without a solid whistling solo.

Facebook plans $300M data center, Google expands in Iowa
BY DAVID PITT | The Associated Press April 23, 2013 1:26PM
DES MOINES, Iowa — Iowa economic development officials on Tuesday approved tax credits for Facebook to build a nearly $300 million data center in Altoona and increased incentives for Google that allows it to expand in Council Bluffs.
The Iowa Economic Development Authority board approved $18 million in tax credits for the Facebook project to be built near Interstate 80 in Altoona, a Des Moines suburb. The project is expected to create 31 permanent jobs and hundreds of construction jobs.
"We're thrilled to become a part of the Altoona community, and especially appreciative of all the partners who helped make this project happen," Jay Parikh, vice president of infrastructure engineering for Facebook, said in a written statement. "Facebook's mission is to connect the world. Thanks to Iowa, we're building the global infrastructure to bring the next billion people online."
In Council Bluffs, Google plans to build another data center alongside an existing $600 million center. It's increased the cost of the new data center to $700 million from the original $300 million, and the state increased tax credits from less than $10 million to $16.8 million.
The Facebook project is the first part of an expected three-phase center. The total value of the Facebook investment could exceed $1 billion when completed.
Altoona will provide a 20-year property tax exemption
The jobs must pay at least $23.12 per hour.
Iowa has successfully attracted major Internet players Microsoft, Google and now Facebook with its inexpensive and reliable electricity, ready access to high-speed Internet connections through its network of fiber optic cables, and secure buildings that are not prone to damage from natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods or hurricanes.
Data centers are typically extremely large buildings that house computer servers designed to store massive amounts of data.
Data centers typically create few jobs. The Google facility employs 35.

Sony SLT-A77 Unofficial Quintessential Guide Book Review
The Sony SLT-A77: The Unofficial Quintessential Guide by Carol F. Roullard and Brian Matsumoto is a 256-page soft-cover book describing how to use the Sony Alpha SLT-A77 digital camera. This excellent high-end interchangeable lens camera uses a semi-transparent mirror to give it unique capabilities. Unlike a DSLR which its shape mimics, the SLT-A77 uses an ultra-high-resolution EVF to provide a continuous view at eye-level during photography and video capture.
This is a complex camera which already comes with a hefty but dry electronic manual on CD in most countries. Like most manuals, the Sony one describes each feature concisely with little background to its use. The Sony Alpha SLT-A77 book, however, covers the vast majority of camera features starting from the simplest ones and advancing to more demanding controls with each chapter.
There is a lot of text in this book and a plenty of photos and diagrams to accompany it. The most praise-worthy aspect of this book is that the language is very simple and explanations reveal details incrementally. Its content is written from the author's recommendations on how they prefer to configure relevant settings at the end of most major sections. While this gives a personal touch, they recommend things which are always the best to use.
While both authors cover their experiences with the Sony Alpha SLT-A77 well, they do on several occasions demonstrate their lack of understanding of digital photography. There are only a few places where serious mistakes appear but it is impossible to recommend such a book for beginners who cannot tell what is correct from what is not.
Instead of giving more details about the book as we do for other such reviews, we recommend searching for another one which covers this camera like Gary Friedmans's The Complete Guide to Sony's Alpha 65 and 77 SLT ebook.
The Sony SLT-A77: The Unofficial Quintessential Guide is available for purchase from Amazon.
