Hewlett Packard used its Discover event in Frankfurt last week to reassert the company's cloud credentials. Public, private, hybrid; HP is painting pictures that encompass them all, whilst seeking to protect hardware revenues and reassure conservative executives at some of its largest and most profitable customers. But HP has been here before, making bold claims and telling people what they wanted to hear about an HP cloud upon which enterprises could depend. This time, will the company deliver?
Earlier this year, satirical news site The Onion took a cruel but funny swipe at HP's cloud pretensions. HP, the sketch suggested, had the answers, the technology, and a lot of cloud. The company has done — and continues to do — a lot right in this space, but it really did bring this derision upon itself. Mixed messaging, repeated announcements of amazing new cloud services that never quite saw the light of day, an endless stream of apparent strategy U-turns that must surely have left long-time HP executives as dizzy as those trying to understand their intentions? None of this helped HP. But now, Windows Azure is apparently behind us. PalmOS (or whatever it's called these days) is no longer a glue to bind hardware, peripherals, software and data together. Amazon is an inevitable piece of the whole. And at HP, the new story is one (more or less) of an OpenStack public cloud called HP Cloud (or HP Public Cloud), a VMware private cloud called Cloud System, and a professional services sell called Managed Cloud for Enterprise (which is messily spread across large swathes of HP's dreadful website, with no obvious landing page to link here).
A public cloud
The biggest cloud news out of Discover was probably the General Availability (at last) of HP's OpenStack-powered public cloud offering. In keynotes and workshops, it was somewhat surprising to see the extent to which OpenStack and other enabling technologies were not mentioned. This was HP's cloud, and the implication was clearly that HP know-how was what made it tick. HP hardware, HP software, HP cleverness. None of the 'Intel Inside' co-branding, Microsoft Diamond Sponsor loviness or VMware strategic partner rhetoric for this open source project, it seems. But, more relevantly, also none of the recognition that other named open source projects like the various Linux distributions do receive from HP.
Given the rather raw state of some OpenStack components, HP engineers have been busy stitching pieces together, but I would have expected HP to be telling more of a story about portability, about interoperability, and about the breadth and depth of the OpenStack community that customers would be joining. That story wasn't told, and you had to know where to look to find much mention of the elusive OpenStack at all.
One place, it must be said, where the company was far more forthcoming was in the private Coffee Talks arranged for us by the team at Ivy. In frank cloud discussions such as those with Christian Verstraete, Chris Purcell, Florian Otel and others, far more of the detail — and rationale — was laid on the table.
Pricing is competitive, and it will be interesting to see how HP moves forward here. HP's public cloud makes plenty of sense for enterprise customers already using HP kit and services elsewhere. But will a startup or a non-customer choose the HP Cloud in preference to Amazon or Google or Rackspace?
They might, if the messaging is right. German cloud analyst René Büst asserted in Frankfurt that "the next Instagram would never choose to start and grow on the HP Cloud", as Amazon has all the mind-share in the startup community. Does HP care enough about the world beyond existing enterprise accounts to accept René's challenge and entice that next cool startup? Is it, frankly, worth their while when their entire selling and support machine is geared toward people in suits who value fancy lunches and a Christmas card far more than credit card sign-up and cost competitiveness?
A private cloud
HP's private cloud offering has been around a little longer, but the company reiterated — and reinforced — messages originally delivered at the Las Vegas Discover a few months back; Cloud System supports 'bursting' of compute jobs from an enterprise's own private cloud to external providers such as HP's public cloud and Amazon. This is a capability that will become increasingly important as even the most conservative enterprise customers begin their gradual transition out of the data centre and into the cloud.
Whatever Amazon and Salesforce executives might say in public about "the false cloud" or the number of Fortune 100 companies happily doing something on their public cloud infrastructure, they and we know that this is going to be a long game. HP's flagship customers will move. Eventually, they'll move almost everything. But it will take a decade or more, and there's plenty of time to sell a few more private clouds and an awful lot of servers and storage arrays before that day comes.
A recognition of Amazon
HP's messaging no longer tries to persuade customers that it will always meet every one of their cloud needs. HP has products and solutions to offer, but it is recognising that it needs to fit into a complex mixed environment. The company also recognises that Amazon is an inevitable part of that environment, and that HP solutions need to augment and add value with respect to Amazon. Helping customers to use Amazon when it's appropriate is a far more effective strategy, long term, than either denying Amazon's existence or insisting that its solutions are not fit for enterprise consumption. Neither are true, and HP's customers are smart enough to realise that.
The SLA is king, maybe
One area in which HP is trying to differentiate itself from Amazon is in terms of Service Level Agreements, and this should play well with an enterprise audience. Rather than necessarily worrying about what hardware cloud infrastructure runs on, or whether it's located on-premise, in a known and audited off-premise location, or out there in the fuzziness of the unbounded public cloud, HP is telling a story that focuses far more upon level of service, level of resilience, etc. This makes a lot of sense. I often don't actually care whether data runs on my own machines or not. What I care about is whether or not my compliance and business requirements are being met. So instead of choosing public or private, off-premise or on, it makes a lot more sense to think about the business and compliance requirements that a particular solution helps me meet. One solution (on or off-premise) may be more secure, more robust, more disaster resilient, and it will come with an SLA (and a price tag) to reflect that. Another (again, on or off-premise) may be more suited to general crunching of less sensitive data. It'll be more prone to failure, and cheaper. We tend to assume that our own data centre is the logical home of the former, and that the public cloud is a pretty cost-effective way to handle the latter. That's not necessarily true, and that's why it's refreshing to at least begin to think in more nuanced terms. Unfortunately, although HP execs planted these ideas during their keynotes, the follow-up material quickly fell back into public v private, dodgy commodity kit v HP 'enterprise grade' hardware, etc. And that's a shame.
Gartner's Lydia Leong takes a deeper look at HP's latest SLAs, and suggests that they may not be living up to their own rhetoric either. There's plenty of work still to do in this area, and an effective means of differentiating service and value propositions is long overdue.
Dell goes the other way
HP uses OpenStack for the company's public cloud, and VMware sits beneath their private offerings. Speaking at Dell World this week, Michael Dell announced that his company is doing the exact opposite; Dell's existing VMware-powered public cloud is to be joined by a private cloud offering powered by OpenStack.
The public and private offerings of HP and Dell certainly aren't directly comparable, but it is interesting that the two companies have reached such superficially odd decisions. It even raises the prospect that a customer of HP's private cloud may find it easier to move to Dell's public cloud than to HP's, and that a customer of Dell's private cloud may find it easier to move workloads to HP's public cloud than to stick with Dell. Odd at best, this should be raising eyebrows in both Round Rock and Palo Alto.
Will the Converged Cloud actually, you know, Converge?
HP has a lot to say about convergence, both in terms of their hardware business but also in the cloud. And yet, it can be surprisingly difficult to see how the public and private pieces of the HP cloud portfolio really fit together. More often than I'd have expected, HP staffers discussing either the public or private cloud offerings spoke as if theirs was the only cloud in HP-land. A slip of the tongue once, or perhaps twice, but this was repeated again and again and again in Frankfurt. The joined-up story, and the reality of customers starting in either HP Cloud or Cloud System before realising a need to embrace parts of the other doesn't seem to be getting through on the ground.
HP is a big ship, with some smart people and some great technology. But if it doesn't tell a single — compelling — story and back it up with an attractive business model, it's toast.
I can't remember who it was, but someone in Frankfurt remarked in passing that HP would come through its current troubles "because it had technical chops." Sadly for HP, that is simply not true. You can have the best technology in the world. But without a defined (or creatable) market requirement, a viable business proposition, and some credible messaging, all of that amazing technology is just some very expensive scrap metal. And a fatal red stain, spreading across the balance sheet.
HP has the technical pieces. It has the people pieces. It has some of the business model pieces. It has parts of the compelling story. It's time the company joined those together credibly, filled in the gaps, and stopped shooting itself in the foot.
At least starve The Onion of material, so its writers have to try a little harder next time.

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 ...

Psychological Bulletin (PSYCHOL BULL )
Psychological Bulletin publishes evaluative and integrative research reviews and interpretations of issues in scientific psychology. Primary research is reported only for illustrative purposes. Integrative reviews or research syntheses focus on empirical studies and seek to summarize past research by drawing overall conclusions from many separate investigations that address related or identical hypotheses. A research synthesis typically presents the authors' assessments of (a) the state of knowledge concerning the relations of interest, (b) critical assessments of the strengths and weaknesses in past research, and (c) important issues that research has left unresolved, thereby directing future research so it can yield a maximum amount of new information. Both cumulative and historical approaches (i.e., ones that organize a research literature by highlighting temporally unfolding developments in a field) can be used. Integrative research reviews that develop connections between areas of research are particularly valuable. Manuscripts dealing with topics at the interface of psychological sciences and society are welcome, as are evaluations of applied psychological therapies, programs, and interventions. Expository articles may be published if they are deemed accurate, broad, clear, and pertinent. Methodological articles that previously were submitted to Psychological Bulletin should now be submitted to Psychological Methods. Original theoretical articles should be submitted to Psychological Review, even when they include summaries of research. Research syntheses should be submitted to Psychological Bulletin even when they develop integrated theoretical statements.

Article: Limitations of the motivational intensity model of attentional tuning: Reply to Harmon-Jones, Gable, and Price (2011).[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In an integrative review, we concluded that implicit affective cues—rudimentary stimuli associated with the onset of arousing positive or negative emotional states and/or with appraisals that the environment is benign or threatening—automatically moderate the scope of attention by Friedman & Förster (see record 2010-17510-008). In their comment, Harmon-Jones, Gable, and Price (see record 2011-08310-001) contended that their own recent research, aimed at demonstrating that motivational intensity moderates the relationship between affective state and attentional tuning, requires a tempering of our conclusions. However, Harmon-Jones et al. portrayed these conclusions neither accurately nor comprehensively and offered an insufficient critical assessment of their own competing account. More important, they failed to establish a compelling alternative explanation for the multitude of specific findings we reviewed (Friedman & Förster, 2010). Therefore, although the work of Harmon-Jones et al. is provocative, it leaves critical issues unresolved and does not yet demand a reconsideration of either our basic assumptions or our overall conclusions.

Article: Are alcohol expectancies associations, propositions, or elephants? A reply to Wiers and Stacy (2010).[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We provide a response to a commentary by Wiers and Stacy (see record 2009-24669-003) on our model of the alcohol–behavior link (see record 2009-09537-002). Whereas Wiers and Stacy generally supported our model, they took issue with our conceptualization of the alcohol expectancy construct. We address the major concerns of Wiers and Stacy by demonstrating that our own view is consistent with basic cognitive scientific conceptualizations of the nature of associative and propositional reasoning within a dual-systems framework. In clarifying these issues, we maintain that although the predictions presented by Wiers and Stacy are important and useful in this area, they are predictions that can be derived from our original formulation of the alcohol–behavior link. We conclude that this kind of useful debate can only aid the generation of conceptually consistent and testable models that will advance the understanding of the alcohol–behavior link.

Article: Cognitive processes, trauma, and dissociation—Misconceptions and misrepresentations: Reply to Bremner (2010).[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In a recent review (see record 2008-11487-001), we critically evaluated the research literature on cognitive processes in dissociation. In a comment, Bremner (see record 2009-24669-001) has voiced reservations about our contention that evidence for the causal role of trauma in dissociation is limited. In this reply, we argue that Bremner's arguments are unconvincing and that a closer examination of the dissociation literature only strengthens the basis for our conclusions. Specifically, we show that dissociation exhibits a robust association with fantasy proneness and that Bremner's criticisms regarding our operationalization of dissociation are unfounded. Moreover, we demonstrate that heightened levels of fantasy proneness, suggestibility, and cognitive failures are related to the propensity to develop pseudomemories, which in turn may account for why dissociation is related to self-reported, but not objective, trauma. We conclude that there is little evidence for the gross cognitive deficits (e.g., interidentity amnesia, memory fragmentation) that many scholars have claimed accompany dissociative symptoms.

Miller meta-analytically tested the hypotheses that specific appraisals and emotions would predict cortisol and immune responses to laboratory stressors and emotion inductions. Although the cortisol data supported the integrated specificity hypothesis, G. E. Miller raised questions concerning the extent to which the immunity data supported specificity. The authors respond to these concerns. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2009 APA, all rights reserved).Psychological Bulletin 11/2009; 135(6):857-8.

ABSTRACT: The most popular topic in theory-of-mind research has been first-order false belief: the realization that it is possible to hold false beliefs about events in the world. A more advanced development is second-order false belief: the realization that it is possible to hold a false belief about someone else's belief. This article reviews research directed to second-order false belief and other forms of higher order, recursive mentalistic reasoning. Three general issues are considered. Research directed to developmental changes indicates that preschoolers typically fail second-order tasks and that success emerges at about age 5 or 6, although results vary some with method of assessment. Research directed to the consequences of second-order competence has revealed positive relations with a number of other aspects of children's development. Finally, measures of both language and executive function relate positively to performance on second-order tasks; the causal bases for the correlations, however, remain to be established. This article concludes with suggestions for future research.Psychological Bulletin 10/2009; 135(5):749-73.

ABSTRACT: Sexual minorities are at increased risk for multiple mental health burdens compared with heterosexuals. The field has identified 2 distinct determinants of this risk, including group-specific minority stressors and general psychological processes that are common across sexual orientations. The goal of the present article is to develop a theoretical framework that integrates the important insights from these literatures. The framework postulates that (a) sexual minorities confront increased stress exposure resulting from stigma; (b) this stigma-related stress creates elevations in general emotion dysregulation, social/interpersonal problems, and cognitive processes conferring risk for psychopathology; and (c) these processes in turn mediate the relationship between stigma-related stress and psychopathology. It is argued that this framework can, theoretically, illuminate how stigma adversely affects mental health and, practically, inform clinical interventions. Evidence for the predictive validity of this framework is reviewed, with particular attention paid to illustrative examples from research on depression, anxiety, and alcohol-use disorders.Psychological Bulletin 10/2009; 135(5):707-30.
Article: "Chronic psychosocial factors and acute physiological responses to laboratory-induced stress in healthy populations: A quantitative review of 30 years of investigations": Correction to Chida and Hamer (2008).[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Reports an error in "Chronic psychosocial factors and acute physiological responses to laboratory-induced stress in healthy populations: A quantitative review of 30 years of investigations" by Yoichi Chida and Mark Hamer (Psychological Bulletin, 2008[Nov], Vol 134[6], 829-885). There is an error in Table 1. On p. 840 the entry for Hill et al. 1987 should be Masters et al. 2004. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2008-14745-003.) This meta-analysis included 729 studies from 161 articles investigating how acute stress responsivity (including stress reactivity and recovery of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal [HPA] axis, autonomic, and cardiovascular systems) changes with various chronic psychosocial exposures (job stress; general life stress; depression or hopelessness; anxiety, neuroticism, or negative affect; hostility, aggression, or Type-A behavior; fatigue, burnout, or exhaustion; positive psychological states or traits) in healthy populations. In either the overall meta-analysis or the methodologically strong subanalysis, positive psychological states or traits were associated with reduced HPA reactivity. Hostility, aggression, or Type-A behavior was associated with increased cardiovascular (heart rate or blood pressure) reactivity, whereas anxiety, neuroticism, or negative affect was associated with decreased cardiovascular reactivity. General life stress and anxiety, neuroticism, or negative affect were associated with poorer cardiovascular recovery. However, regarding the sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system, there were no associations between the chronic psychosocial factors and stress reactivity or recovery. The results largely reflect an integrated stress response pattern of hypo- or hyperactivity depending on the specific nature of the psychosocial background.

Speedway, NH casino called a natural fit, track's GM says
"We keep hearing from opponents of the casino bills that casinos would change the character of New Hampshire, but it's just not true," he said. "People talk about it like we would change to be like Las Vegas or Atlantic City, but a more accurate comparison would be what's happened in Oxford (Maine) or at places like Mohegan Sun in Connecticut."
"Maine, Connecticut, now Massachusetts are offering it, and they're trying to draw our visitors there," he said of casino gambling.
"We have a 24-year track record of success, and it would be a natural addition to what we do here," Gappens said.

China returns press card to Star writer, with a stern warning
Chinese police returned a government-issued press card to a Toronto Star journalist Tuesday, issuing a formal warning that "further violations" of Chinese reporting regulations could lead to "punishment," including cancelling his visa.

BEIJING—Chinese police returned a government-issued press card to a Toronto Star journalist Tuesday, issuing a formal warning that "further violations" of Chinese reporting regulations could lead to "punishment," including cancelling his visa.
The press card, a separate document also necessary to conduct journalistic work inside China, was seized Sunday by police during a three-hour detention and interrogation session, after the Star photographed police rounding up Christian worshippers as they arrived for an outdoor religious service in Beijing.
Chinese authorities said the service was illegal, since the church — known as Shouwang, or "The Watchtower" — is not approved by the ruling Communist government.
And police claimed that by simply taking photographs without prior permission from local authorities that the Star had violated China's press regulations.
That interpretation, if strictly enforced, would rewrite the slightly relaxed media regulations that were introduced in 2007, just before the 2008 Olympics.
"It sounds like a reversion to how things were in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when we were frequently detained and threatened with visa non-renewal if we did not behave," says Rebecca Mackinnon, a former CNN journalist, who is now senior fellow at the Boston-based New America Foundation.
The squeeze on journalistic activity here in recent weeks accompanies China's biggest rights crackdown in a decade.
It has come in the wake of revolutions rocking North Africa and the Middle East, which have made authorities here nervous.
China's powerful internal security apparatus, which already commands a bigger piece of the national budget than China's military machine, is believed to be gaining ever greater clout inside the corridors of Zhongnanhai, the Chinese equivalent of the White House.
Reports say the state's security czar, 68-year-old Zhou Yongkang, a member of the Politburo Standing Committee who commands the police and the courts, is growing even more powerful.
On Tuesday, during another interrogation by police, the Star learned that the current tightening of media restrictions could turn on the translation and interpretation of two Chinese characters: "cai fang."
According to an English translation on the foreign affairs website, "cai fang" means "interview."
Hence, the English translation of the key reporting regulation reads, "A foreign journalist who intends to interview organizations or individuals in China needs to obtain their prior consent."
The Star conducted no interviews Sunday, but took only photographs.
But on Tuesday, police insisted "cai fang" included photography and a range of journalistic activity — not just interviewing.
Chinese dictionaries indicate that "cai fang" means to gather or to look, but when used in connection with news gathering, some say it can mean interviewing, as well as taking notes or photos, filming and tape-recording.
Mackinnon recalls that in the China of the 1990s she and her CNN crews would occasionally get detained for filming and interviewing on the streets.
"Once we were detained for interviewing bystanders right before president Bill Clinton's motorcade was scheduled to drive by," she says. "At that time the police included filming and taking pictures in their definition of 'cai fang.' "
Recent graduates of Chinese journalism schools say the precise meaning of "cai fang" isn't clear.
"There is no real, clear-cut definition of 'cai fang,' " says one, "even among academic circles."

Indians 333 for 4 dec (Dhawan 60 [ret hurt], Pujara 57, Gambhir 54) drew with Leicestershire 349 for 5 (Robson 126, Smith 101, Redfern 58)

Teams: England | India | Leicestershire
Angus Robson, the younger brother of England's new opening batsman Sam, and Greg Smith hit run-a-ball centuries as their 221-run second-wicket stand ensured a chastening time in the field for the Indians' seven-strong fast-bowling attack on the final day of their first warm-up match against Leicestershire.
Both batsmen played with gusto and freedom to allow Leicestershire to dominate the day which saw the morning session curtailed to just 13 overs after rain interrupted play after an hour, but it did not matter to the Robson-Smith combination as they scored at almost six runs an over. The pair added 178 runs in the middle session comprising 30 overs.
It has been a fine week for the Robson family with Sam registering his maiden Test century at Headingley exactly a week ago against Sri Lanka. This was the younger Robson's highest score of the season which had previously included six fifties. He expects a phone call from his brother ahead of the Test series - for the odd bit of information about the Indian bowlers - and his only regret was that this was not a first-class fixture.
"It's been a pretty special day," he said. "Mum and Dad have been here. It's funny how it works out, two Saturdays in a row they've seen us make hundreds."
Ten days ago Smith scored a century at his home ground in the T20 Blast against Nottinghamshire. He also has a Championship hundred this season and reached the landmark today with consecutive sixes against the left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja. Both straight hits went crashing into the sightscreen at the Bennett End with the first one even creating a dent.
But a deeper dent was created in the opposition bowling camp. The Indians might say it was the first day on the job for the bowlers, but at times it became embarrassing. Ishant Sharma, one of the three players from the current squad to have played Test cricket in England, and the bowling captain by default in the absence of Zaheer Khan, failed to make any impact and effectively became a figure of ridicule for a group of Indian fans at the Bennett End, who endlessly heckled him each time he walked back to his bowling mark.
Ishant, who had taken consecutive five-wicket hauls in the two-Test series in New Zealand in February, India's previous series in the longest format, was listless for most of his three spells. He started with a no-ball in the morning session which had to be immediately called off as the rain arrived and upon returning he delivered two further no-balls as his first over went for 11 runs. His first spell of four overs leaked 41 runs and he overstepped six times.
As he retreated to long leg Indian fans were not afraid to offer some advice. "Put some effort. Bend down," one fan shouted. As he lined up to deliver another over, Ishant would not have missed the annoying scream coming from the crowd: "How many fours are you going to give this over?"
It might have been amusing to the ear, but the Indians may have found the impatience of their fans a little bit irritating. Barring Ishant, none of the other quicks had ever bowled with the red ball in England. And it showed straightaway.
It was overcast right through Saturday and the Indians might have fancied taking advantage of what they perceived as helpful conditions. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, whose primary strength is swing, struggled to find the right length throughout his solitary spell of seven overs which went for 46 runs including ten fours, all of which came at the hands of an aggressive Robson.
Later Robson said that he took advantage of the fuller lengths Bhuvneshwar bowled while attempting to swing the ball. He felt the Indians started with intensity, but grew "tired" as he and Smith stretched the partnership. He also felt that while the bowling attack was inexperienced, it was their lack of knowledge of him that played into his hands.
"The lengths they bowled this morning were fullish and I was looking to drive as I usually do," he said. "After I faced the first couple of overs of Kumar I felt he was a skiddy sort of a bowler and the best way to take him on was to drive him and hit him for a few fours. He swing it around a lot and I felt that If I was stuck around in my crease I was just sitting ducks."
The key to succeed in England has always remained the same: pitch on lengths that make the batsmen play and move the ball enough to bring the slips into play. Today the Indians created just a handful of such opportunities. One of them was plucked spectacularly by Ajinkya Rahane early in the morning session when he intercepted an outside edge from Leicestershire captain Matthew Boyce who was troubled by some away movement from Pankaj Singh.
Pankaj, along with Mohammad Shami and later Varun Aaron, were the pick of the Indian bowlers as the trio bowled at a good pace and created some doubts for the batsmen.
With another three-day match against Derbyshire starting on Tuesday, the Indians will ideally want to get an idea of their lead pack of bowlers for the first Test at Trent Bridge on July 9. They did, however, get a late boost when Ishant took two wickets in three balls in an aggressive over he was allowed to bowl in fading light.

N'Dour, Saariaho share Sweden's Polar Music Prize
Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour and Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho have been awarded the 2013 Polar Music Prize, Sweden's most prestigious award for musicians.
The Associated Press
Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour and Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho have been awarded the 2013 Polar Music Prize, Sweden's most prestigious award for musicians.
They will each receive 1 million kronor ($153,300) and an invitation to the prize ceremony in Stockholm Aug. 27.
The awarding committee on Tuesday described 60-year-old Saariaho as a "modern maestro," praising her for combining acoustic instruments with electronics and computers.
It said 53-year-old N'Dour, who has collaborated with artists including Sting, Bruce Stringsteen and Neneh Cherry, is musically ground-breaking and has a voice that "encompasses an entire continent's history and future, blood and love, dreams and power."
The award, founded in 1992 by the late Stig Anderson, manager of Swedish pop group ABBA, is typically shared by a pop artist and a classical musician.

Johnson's Popcorn goes Hollywood for Oscar night
Written by Claire Lowe Friday, March 07, 2014 12:00 am
|< Prev
|Next >
OCEAN CITY — One of Ocean City's most iconic businesses traveled west last weekend for Hollywood's biggest night.
Johnson's Popcorn was invited to participate in a celebrity gifting suite on Oscar night, March 2. The event at the W Hotel in Hollywood was hosted by the production company Celebrity Connected.
Rebecca Juzwiak, vice president and chief operating officer of Johnson's, said that Celebrity Connected contacted her in January about attending the gifting event, which is held each year in honor of the Academy Awards.
"One of their executive producers had tasted it and though it was great," she said.
Juzwiak and Johnson's gift shop employees Mollee Juzwiak and Kathy Geller headed out to Los Angeles with over 300 tubs of the caramel corn.
"We brought out a large tub for every celebrity VIP that was invited to the show," she said.
They also brought 10 ounce tubs to give out. Celebrities who received a tub of Johnson's included Mickey Rooney, Niecy Nash, Estelle Harris, often remembered as George Costanza's mom on Seinfeld; Saxon and Brighton Sharbino (Saxon stars in the new Fox drama "Touch" opposite Kiefer Sutherland and Brighton plays Lizzie on AMC's "The Walking Dead"); Edie McClurg and Bill Engvall.
"It was so much fun. It was a quick trip. We flew in, we worked, we left," Juzwiak said.
"All of the celebrities were very, very nice."
While many of the guests brought their tubs home to enjoy later, some had the chance to try the product at the event and loved it.
"They thought it was delicious on the spot," Juzwiak said.
Since 1940, Johnson's Popcorn has been selling hot caramel corn on the Ocean City Boardwalk. Currently, there are three locations in Ocean City, as well as gift shop, and one location in Wildwood. Juzwiak said she is appreciative of the opportunity to spread the word about Johnson's, Ocean City and Wildwood on the West Coast. A bonus would be the residual effects of the handouts.
"In anything that you do, these types of events, there's always a delayed response," she said. "You have to wait and see what the positives are from this. And if the only positive is that 300 people on the West Coast ate it, to me that's a positive."
Juzwiak said that for a small company like Johnson's, which enjoys local fame on the Jersey Shore, traveling to California for the event was a great experience.
"It was a wonderful, wonderful experience. Everyone was so nice. The production company, Celebrity Connected, could not have been a better host," she said, adding that that was the type of exposure places like Ocean City and Johnson's Popcorn need to put them on the map.
Juzwiak said she hopes to go back next year.

IRELAND: Act now to save drinks jobs - trade body
By just-drinks.com editorial team | 23 June 2009
Thousands more jobs will be lost in Ireland's food and drink sector unless the Government acts swiftly to give more aid to businesses, trade body Food and Drink Industry Ireland has warned.
Paul Kelly, director of the body, said today (23 June): "Over 2,000 jobs have been lost already this year and many thousands more are at risk."
Speaking at the launch of a report on Ireland's food and drink sector, Kelly said that industry growth has been "severely damaged" by rising business costs and the depreciation of sterling against the euro.
"Put simply, the cost base for the sector is way out of line with competitor economies," he said. "This is having a huge impact on our export potential and, ultimately, on the investment decisions of Irish food and drink companies."
Ireland became the first EU member state to enter a technical recession last year.
Recent months have seen companies such as Britvic, Diageo, C&C Group and Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Co announce job cuts. Diageo said last week that it would cut 107 jobs, mainly at its St James's Gate Guinness brewery in Dublin.
Ireland imports EUR5bn (US$7bn) of food and drink products but exports around EUR8bn, according to Food and Drink Industry Ireland.
It called on the Government to reduce business costs to in-line with the EU average and seek EU clearance to offer grants to the worst hit companies. It also called for an export credit scheme, guaranteed by the state.
Food and Drink Industry Ireland is part of the Irish Business and Employers Confederation (IBEC).
Sectors: Beer & cider, Soft drinks, Spirits, Water, Wine
Companies: Diageo, C&C Group, Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling, Guinness

Though not in the universal calendar, it is the patronal feast of Australia.
