Graduation with Honors
Criteria for graduation with honors are determined by the Educational Affairs Committee of the University Council and are described in the undergraduate bulletin.
Final honors designations for Summa, Magna, and Cum Laude as noted on the diploma and transcript will be based on the overall averages of 3.90, 3.70, and 3.50 respectively. Overall averages include grades at UGA as well as grades received at all previous academic institutions.
Anticipated undergraduate students graduating with honors wear an honors tassel:
Honors Designation | Tassel Color | |
Summa Cum Laude | Red, Silver and Black | |
Magna Cum Laude | Red and Silver | |
Cum Laude | Red and Black |
First Honor Graduates
Each student completing a baccalaureate degree with an overall grade point average of 4.0 will be designated a First Honor Graduate. The overall grade point average or all-college average includes all work attempted at the University of Georgia as well as all college-level transfer work attempted prior to or subsequent to matriculation at the University.
First Honors Candidates wear a fourragère (braided cord) on their left shoulder as part of their graduation academic regalia.
Please note: Because grades for the current semester are not available during the time that commencement programs are being produced and on the day of Commencement, honors designations (including First Honor Graduates) are based on the grade point average earned through the previous academic term. Final academic honor graduates for each semester are selected after grades have been submitted. Final, official honor designations will be included on diplomas and transcripts.
Commencement ceremony
Recognition of Candidates
For the Undergraduate ceremony, candidates will rise as a group when degrees are conferred.
Conclusion of Ceremony
Following the singing of the Alma Mater, the platform party will recess after which the ceremony officially concludes.
Commencement Programs
Two versions of the commencement program are printed. The longer version includes the names of all candidates. Two copies of this program will be placed in the seats for each of the candidates. Visitors will receive an abbreviated program containing information about the ceremony. Please do not disrupt the ceremony by taking copies of the longer version from unoccupied seats during the ceremony.
Candidates for graduation should receive an email with instructions to log in to a website to confirm their diploma information approximately 1 – 2 weeks after the midpoint of their graduation term. This website is used to verify or correct the name printed on the diploma and the diploma mailing address.
It is the student's responsibility to make certain the correct address is on file with the Office of the Registrar. Diplomas are normally mailed within 6 to 8 weeks after the official graduation date.
Once final grades for the semester are received, each individual school and college reviews the records of each candidate for graduation to verify that all requirements have been met. The Office of the Registrar is notified when this process is complete and authorizes the printing of the diplomas. Diplomas are mailed to graduates at their permanent or diploma addresses approximately six weeks after commencement. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that the Office of the Registrar has the correct mailing address.
The information printed on diplomas is summarized below:
Undergraduates with one major:
- Your degree, major, University honors, and graduation date will be reflected on the diploma.
Undergraduates with multiple majors:
- If you complete the requirements for multiple majors, with the same degree, simultaneously, you will receive one diploma reflecting the degree, multiple majors, University honors, and graduation date.
- If you complete the requirements for multiple majors with different degrees, simultaneously, you will receive two diplomas. Each diploma will reflect the respective degree, major, University honors, and graduation date.
- If you complete the requirements for multiple majors during different semesters, you will receive a diploma for each. The individual diplomas will reflect the degree, major, University honors, and the graduation date corresponding to the major.
Graduate Students
- Only your degree and graduation date will be reflected on the diploma.
- If you complete the requirements for multiple degrees within the same term, you will receive a diploma for each.
*Please note: if you have an outstanding debt with the University, we will not be able to mail your diploma. Please contact our office once your debt has been paid.
Apostille and the Great Seal
Official documents issued in one country and intended to be used in another country must be authenticated in order to be recognized as valid in the foreign country. If the foreign country is a member of The Hague Convention, an Apostille (pronounced "uh-pos-till") is required. If the foreign country is not a member of The Hague Convention, the Great Seal is normally required.
Countries that are members of The Hague Convention can be found at this web site.
If you have accepted employment in a foreign country or if you are returning home to a foreign country, you may need to have your official transcript and/or your diploma legalized by either an Apostille or the Great Seal. Most foreign countries require the diploma versus your transcript, but be sure to find out which is required. Also, please be sure to obtain the required documentation prior to leaving Georgia. The process will be more cumbersome if you are not physically in Georgia or do not have a relative or friend in Georgia who can assist with the process. If someone will be assisting with this process, be sure you provide them with a signed letter from you authorizing them to do so.
For either an Apostille or a Great Seal, you will first need to request a replacement diploma. The signed, stamped, and notarized diploma will be mailed to you or you can pick it up in our office. Be sure to bring your photo ID.
If you need an Apostille (the intended foreign country is a member of the Hague Convention), you will then obtain this from the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority. Please carefully review the information on their web site and follow their instructions. http://www.gsccca.org/projects/apost.asp
If you need the Great Seal, you will then obtain this from the Elections Division of the Georgia Secretary of State's Office. Please carefully review the information on their web site and follow their instructions.
Diploma Replacement
The University of Georgia issues only one diploma for each degree as described in the Diploma section. A replacement diploma may be requested only if the original diploma has been lost or damaged. If damaged, the damaged diploma must be returned along with the Request for Replacement Diploma Form.
Requests for a replacement diploma must be submitted online via the Replacement Diploma Ordering System. By placing a request through this ordering site, you verify that your original diploma has been lost, damaged, or destroyed.
Please note: If you have an outstanding debt with the University, we cannot issue a diploma replacement.
In case of rain or inclement weather
Because the Fall 2014 Graduate and Undergraduate Commencement ceremonies are being held indoors at Stegeman Coliseum, the university's inclement weather policy does not apply.
First Aid
For Sanford Stadium:
First aid care is available for candidates and visitors at the first aid station located behind Section 119 in Sanford Stadium. This care is provided by staff of the University Health Center. Local ambulance services provide emergency care if required.
For Stegeman Coliseum:
First aid care is available for candidates and visitors at the first aid station located behind Section L in Stegeman Coliseum. This care is provided by staff of the University Health Center. Local ambulance services provide emergency care if required.
Lost and found
For items believed lost in the coliseum or stadium, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 706-542-7944. For other lost and found inquiries, please contact email@example.com.
Helpful Tips
- Check ATHENA to verify that you have an anticipated graduation date of Fall 2014.
- Wear comfortable shoes. You will be walking and standing for long periods of time. High-heeled shoes are discouraged, especially stiletto heels. High heels can break through the plastic flooring placed in the seating area and damage the floor.
- Leave purses, coats, and other belongings with your family members. It doesn't present a professional image to carry these items during the processional.
- During the processional, remain in a single line and avoid gaps in the line.
- As you enter the stadium or coliseum, be sure to follow the person in front of you so that you don't end up in the wrong line and thus sitting with another college.
- As you are directed into your row of seats, please be sure to fill all seats. Vacant seats in a row could mean that some students will not have a place to sit.
- Remain standing in front of your seat during the entire processional. Do not stand in the aisles.
- Pick a place to meet your family and friends once the ceremony is completed.
- As you celebrate this exciting day, please be respectful of those around you and the fact that this is a formal academic ceremony. Beach balls, air horns, and other similar distractions are inappropriate and may be confiscated.
- Alcoholic beverages are not permitted at any UGA commencement ceremony.

Thread: Hildegarde??? Have I gone crazy?
May 17th, 2013 04:17 AM #16
Actually, I kinda like that name. Hildegarde is pretty and strong, but definitely a difficult name. It'll be great for the right girl, but awful to others. So putting it in the middle would be safer.
ps: I like the nn Hilda though.Call me Cynthia, Angie, or Luna. 22. Name nerd.

I have a strange love for names like these. Clotilde, Brunhilde, Adalheidis, Berengaria, Swanhilda and yes, Hildegarde, oh how I love you darling clunky old Germanic names. But I don't think our daughters would appreciate them very much, unless they're a fierce strange little creature. If the love of the name runs deep, use it in the middle.
Personally, if my name was Hildegarde, I'd strap my sword around my waist, put my hair in braids, and run gleefully through the streets with a battle cry; shortly before I was arrested of course.Considering...

I can see why you like it, but in all honesty, unless you know your daughter is going to be a supreme beauty at every stage in her life (especially those teenage years) I would not use it. I know this is awful to say, but there are some names you need to be a knock out to wear.

I would hate to be named Hildegard so I would not inflict it on a child. If I wanted to use it as an honor name, it would definitely be a mn.
I like simple yet versatile names that work well for the athlete, the comic, the genius, and the judge.

I remember reading book where the main character was called Hildy, later on it turned out her full name was Hildegarde, I thought it was interesting and I kind of like it.

Thought that the Children's Blouson Jacket patternwould be a good starting point for making a coat for my niece. The coat is made from some leftover pieces of embroidered wool, some ribbed jersey and cacha lining, and a little piece of corduroy. I really didn't change the overall pattern that much, just the pockets and collar. I lined the collar with the ribbing to match the cuffs and hem. The pockets are lined with the purple cacha lining. And I used Prym snap fasteners down the front.
UPDATE: My little niece had a growth spurt of about 3 1/2 inches. So sadly this jacket no longer fits her. It's now going to another little girl who could use a coat.

Former Palo Alto banker Carl Schmitt dies

I was an early customer of University National Bank, when they had their first office at Lytton and Florence. Carl Schmitt sent an invitation to the bank's customers to come in one evening for a slide show of his then-recent trip to China. They had a bunch of chairs set up in the lobby area, and served punch and cookies. Not many bankers do things like that nowadays.

My husband (who is now deceased) had a graphic design business in the late 70's early 80's in Palo Alto and became a customer of University National Bank - we were treated well which included being invited to the bank's many special functions - which included receiving a bag of Walla Walla onions. I just found this website because, as one of the many special thank you gifts the bank sent to their business customers was a series of cards that had printed specific information about other banks and special dates in history and I just found a few of them - I'd like to know if these have any value, and/or should I keep them?
I would appreciate any information anyone could supply in reference to these printed cards. On the "Hapy Anniversary" info card of one of these series I have states "Best Wishes" from Chairman, Carl J. Schmitt and President, Herbert C. Foster.

I have nothing but good memories of Carl. He was a very respectful and inspirational person. During the construction of the multi-story bank building on Lytton Avenue, I attended jobsite meetings every Tuesday morning with Carl, the General Contractor's staff and the other trade's representatives. The Project Manager always made sure there were a few Cinnamon Crunch donuts available for Carl.
After the meetings and once the shell of the building existed, I would perform my work tasks. We always got a kick out of Carl roaming around the jobsite with his camera. We found out what he had been "up to" on the evening of the grand opening party . He had been taking pictures of the various trade workers performing their tasks, so that he could have blown-up photos of them framed and then installed in the hall corridors ! He appreciated that we all had helped to make that beautiful building possible, so he captured us while we were making it happen. What an awesome "Thank you" that was....
Carl never accepted that something was impossible, he even managed to get part of Lytton Avenue blocked-off on a WEEKDAY for a parade. He was a man of action and I will never forget him.
Rest in peace Carl.

Video Description
Adventure Travel Online (1/22/1999)
Computers and the Internet get a bad rap for keeping people alone, in dark rooms, staring at a screen. Instead many people are using the Web to find out about places they can go and things they can do. Originally broadcast in 1999.
For people who can't, or don't care to be adventurous in their traveling, the Web offers a perfect way to travel vicariously. An extreme case is the solo Around-the-World yacht race currently being run. Very few people would ever undertake such a trip, but thanks to the Internet and the AroundAlone Web site, you are able to follow the drama of the race as never before in real time as it develops over many months.

Among the most popular places for Americans looking to find adventurous travel are the nation's many National Parks. The US National Park Service manages some of the most popular travel destinations in the world, ranging from urban sites to hi... (read more)

Simply click your browser to go online. That's it. Those in need of speed cable Internet in your area may look at broadband options like satellite or DSL. DSL Internet providers claim their technology can rival or even outpace cable Internet in your area. This is blatant myth and could spell bad news for consumers hungry for an alternative to dialup and not aware of speed cable Internet. DSL and satellite run far slower and don't necessarily cost less. Most important, they lack the potency that high speed Internet in your area from a cable provider can offer.
Your cable service Internet in your area provides the fastest download times of all the high speed Internet providers. If you want to watch feature-length movies, play online games and the like, you'll need a high speed Internet that can handle the influx of large files and a high-bandwidth stream. Cable Internet in your area finished downloads in a snap while DSL and satellite Internet lag. Not everyone uses the Internet in the same manner, but cable speed Internet in your area provides a wide mix of options to suit every type of user. Even the entry-level plans do a thorough job when it comes to downloading small files like MP3s or short video clips. Furthermore, if you enjoy sharing pictures with family and friends on popular social media sites, you will appreciate the fast upload times generated by cable service Internet.
If you've just started to look at cable Internet in your area, you lack full awareness of all the options that cable Internet can bring. One feature that should peak your attention is HD viewing. Streaming video sites have begun to pop everywhere across the Internet and many broadcast shows and movies in HD. To view all the top shows and movies without lag, you will need a connection that keeps pace. The only legitimate player for doing so is Frontier cable Internet in your area. High speed Internet via cable transmits a high-bandwidth signal. This lets you view hi-def movies and TV programs on your computer monitor. Quick speeds also short download times if you would rather house your favorite titles on your computer. In any case, cable high speed Internet delivers lag-free viewing of all the hottest streaming sites.
Online gaming enthusiasts will need a high speed Internet connection with high octane. Only Frontier Cable Internet in your area gets this right. A cable service Internet connection opens up a world of exciting possibilities when it comes to online games. You can compete inside all the top multi-player games like World of Warcraft, Lineage II, and Final Fantasy XI. Furthermore, your cable speed Internet creates playing conditions with minimal lag. This helps you dominate your opponents. Victory becomes much tougher if you use a broadband connection like DSL or satellite Internet. If you own an X-Box, Nintendo and/or PlayStation, your cable speed Internet in your area will configure with any of said consoles, providing you with yet another way to compete in the online gaming world.

Jacob Marcellus was diagnosed with brain cancer called medulloblastoma at age 4. He had a large tumor removed from the base of his brain, but it grew back to half its size in two weeks.
Jacob spent six weeks in Boston for radiation and had 11 months of chemotherapy in Burlington, Vt., and Syracuse. Jacob now has to have an MRI every three to six months for the next two years.
He has lost some of his ability to walk, suffers permanent hearing loss, has double vision and left side weakness. He continues to have occupational and physically therapy twice a week and is still very sharp minded.
The Norwood American Legion is sponsoring an all-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner to help raise money for Jacob.
The dinner will be on Oct. 20 from 4 to 7 p.m. Spaghetti with Sergis sauce, tossed salad, garlic bread, coffee and dessert will be served for $10.
If you are unable to attend but would still like to give, donations should be sent to P.O. Box 221, Norwood, N.Y., 13668, payable to Jacob Marcellus Benefit.

The Endlessly Quotable Coco Chanel
"The most courageous act is still to think for yourself," Coco Chanel once said, adding, after a beat, "Aloud."

In honor of her Aug. 19 birthday, here's a look back at our favorite of her many declarations.

Bush Defends Rumsfeld's Performance in Iraq
President Bush issues a strong statement in support for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who has come under increasing criticism for his performance. The president says Rumsfeld is "exactly what is needed at this critical period."
Copyright © 2006 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
MICHELE NORRIS, host:
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Michele Norris. This week there was a crescendo of calls from former generals seeking the resignation of Donald Rumsfeld. Yesterday, on this program, General John Riggs made his call public.
General JOHN RIGGS (Retired Major General, U.S. Army): I think it's, in some ways, is arrogance that's keeping things going. And I think he should step aside and let someone step in who can be more realistic.
NORRIS: Today President Bush rebuffed the critics and expressed his support of his secretary of defense, saying that "he's exactly what's needed in this critical period." Rumsfeld answered the calls, too. Today on the Arabic TV network Al-Arabiya, he had this to say when asked "if he intended to continue to serve the president."
Secretary of Defense DONALD RUMSFELD: I intend to serve the president at his pleasure. And the fact that two or three or four retired people have different views, I respect their views, but obviously if out of thousands and thousands of admirals and generals, if every time two or three people disagreed we changed the secretary of defense of the United States, it would be like a merry-go-round around here.
Unidentified Man: So by the next election, you'll be the longest serving secretary of defense, sir.
Secretary RUMSFELD: Oh, that remains to be seen.
NORRIS: That was Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld speaking on Al-Arabiya TV today. NPR Pentagon correspondent Tom Bowman joins us now. Welcome, Tom.
TOM BOWMAN reporting:
Good to be here.
NORRIS: Is Rumsfeld correct when he dismisses this criticism, saying that they're really just a small number of generals among many thousands?
BOWMAN: Well, all these generals are highly respected. Two in particular recently commanded combat troops in Iraq. That would be Charles Swannick, commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, and John Batiste, who commanded the 1st Infantry Division. So these would've been people who had met with Rumsfeld, discussed strategy with him, talked about, perhaps, a need for more troops. And for them to come out and criticize him I think is remarkable. And others I've spoken with, analysts and active duty officers, are quite surprised by that.
NORRIS: And for the six who have spoken out, what are the specific faults and mistakes they cite? Is there a common theme that runs through their criticism?
BOWMAN: Well, the first criticism you hear, and this really goes back to prior to the war starting, was there weren't enough troops. General Eric Shinseki, who was then Army Chief of Staff, said you need several hundred thousand for peacekeeping duties after major combat is completed. And other generals privately pushed that as well. But clearly many say they didn't have enough troops.
Another criticism you hear is that when they started flowing equipment and forces and personnel over to the region, that Rumsfeld tinkered with the flow of forces, and there were some problems there. For example, people mentioned that port handlers didn't get there fast enough, and the equipment got to the ports and then the port handlers came after. So that type of problem you saw with what they claim was Rumsfeld's micromanaging of the flow of forces and equipment.
NORRIS: Is there a precedent for this kind of public outcry by retired senior military officials?
BOWMAN: Not in wartime. General McClellan famously during the Civil War was sharply critical, contemptuous, really, of Abraham Lincoln. And during peacetime, we've seen there was a revolt of the admirals, for example, in 1949, over nuclear policy, and budget complaints over the years, disputes with, during the Truman administration, of Louis Cut the Fat Johnson, who was then defense secretary. But during wartime, this is really unprecedented.
NORRIS: So far we've only heard from retired commanders. Are those still serving in the military harboring their own criticisms? Is there evidence that perhaps the retired officers are serving as surrogates for their active counterparts?
BOWMAN: I think that's absolutely right. I think they are serving as surrogates. And if you talk to active duty generals, privately, they, some of them hold some of the same concerns that the retirees have. But I think what they would tell you is, if they have any criticisms they'll say it to the secretary or others in private. Clearly, others are worried about their careers. This administration, this management at the Pentagon is very sensitive to criticism and does not brook criticism quite well, and they're worried about their careers. And, most importantly, under military law, Article 88, active duty officer could be court-martialed for using contemptuous words against the president, vice president or secretary of defense.
NORRIS: Just very quickly, before we let you go, what was the buzz over there today in that five-sided building?
BOWMAN: Well, there's concern about it. There's concern about the effect it'll have on active duty officers. Will they be seen as, let's say, milquetoast for serving under Defense Secretary Rumsfeld? There's a lot of concern about will other generals come out, retired generals? So it's a sort of wait and see at the Pentagon. But a lot of concern.
NORRIS: Tom Bowman is NPR's Pentagon correspondent. He's a new member of our reporting team after nine years of covering the building for the Baltimore Sun. Welcome, Tom, and thank you.
BOWMAN: It's great to be here.

Makers of digital movie equipment are forecasting a surge in sales as Chinese and European cinemas upgrade to tap the popularity of 3-D movies such as "Avatar."
Sales at Christie Digital Systems USA, the world's largest maker of digital projectors, may double to $400 million this year if it can meet demand, said Jack Kline, president of the Cypress, California-based company, a unit of Japan's Ushio Inc. Kortrijk, Belgium-based Barco NV, the second largest, estimates revenue will climb 50 percent to $200 million.
The upgrades in Asia and Europe are part of a worldwide trend in theater spending. The three largest U.S. chains are outfitting 14,000 screens for digital projection after raising $660 million. Cinemas charge more for 3-D movies and will benefit from the 19 films scheduled for release this year, up from 14 in 2009, according to researcher Hollywood.com Box- Office. Digital systems also cut costs by eliminating film reels and projectionists.
"We didn't expect China to expand so fast," said Andrew Robinson, managing director at Harkness Screens International Ltd., the largest maker of screens for digital cinemas. Closely held Harkness, based in Dublin, sold 500 screens in China last year, Robinson said.
Harkness is running its U.S. factory around the clock, seven days a week, Robinson said in an interview. A second plant in France is running 18 hours a day, he said. The wait for delivery is 10 weeks, up from the usual four, he said.
Like in the U.S., demand for 3-D theaters in China is increasing following the success of James Cameron's "Avatar," the highest-grossing movie of all time, said Weng Li, a spokesman for China Film Group, the state-run company that controls most cinemas and film distribution in that nation.
'Avatar' Effect
There are about 2,000 digital screens in China, including 800 that are equipped to show movies in 3-D, Li said in an interview. Even small cities in China are installing 3-D equipment, he said.
"Avatar" has generated $193.6 million in ticket sales in China since its release, the film's second-highest grossing nation behind the U.S., according to News Corp.'s Twentieth Century Fox.
China Film Group is seeking bids to add 500 digital projectors over the next four to six months, said John Wilmers, chief executive officer of Ballantyne Strong Inc., an Omaha, Nebraska-based seller of digital cinema equipment and services.
Time Antaeus Media Group, based in China, plans to add 500 to 700, Christie's Kline said.
Ushio was little changed at 1,586 yen yesterday on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Barco NV rose 9 cents to 33.38 euros on Euronext Brussels. Ballantyne Strong advanced 10 cents to $5.40 in New York Stock Exchange composite trading.
Rules in China may limit the benefits of 3-D popularity. Some 3-D movies may never be seen in the country because the government allows about 20 foreign films to be shown each year, according to the Motion Picture Association of America.
Consumers may also lose enthusiasm for 3-D as the format becomes more common, said Matthew Harrigan, an analyst with Wunderlich Securities in Denver.
"Do you really need to see 'Jackass' in 3-D," Harrigan said in an interview. "It wouldn't surprise me if we had a little bit of a lull at some point."
Cinema chains worldwide will spend about $1 billion over the next three to four years upgrading screens for digital projection, according to George Hawkey, an analyst at Barclays Capital in New York.
3-D Crunch
DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc.'s "How to Train Your Dragon" opened as the top film at U.S. and Canadian theaters last weekend, posting $43.3 million in ticket sales. The movie played in 3-D at more than half of the 4,055 theaters, according to Box Office Mojo, a Sherman Oaks, California-based researcher. It is competing for 3-D screens with "Alice in Wonderland" and "Clash of the Titans," which Time Warner Inc. is releasing this weekend.
"There is a crunch, no doubt," Harkness Screens International's Robinson said.
In the U.S., theaters will add about 2,500 3-D screens this year to some 3,500 already in place, said John Fithian, president of the National Association of Theatre Owners. The conversion in the U.S. is being financed through a fee studios pay to theaters for movies that are shown on digital screens. Studios will save money as they phase out 35mm prints of movies, which cost about $1,200 each to produce.
Cinema operators benefit because digitally equipped theaters don't need employees to change reels, said David Passman, chief executive officer of Carmike Cinemas Inc., the fourth-largest U.S. chain. All of the projectors in a multiplex can be controlled by a single employee at a computer, Passman said.
Digital Financing
Carmike Cinemas, based in Columbus, Georgia, has 2,288 screens, almost all of them digital, with 500 equipped for 3-D films, Passman said.
Digital Cinema Implementation Partners, a collaboration of Regal Entertainment Group, AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. and Cinemark Holdings Inc., last month completed financing to convert 14,000 screens to digital projection.
Cinedigm Digital Cinema Corp., a provider of digital services and equipment, has raised $100 million to cover digital conversions for smaller chains, the company said in October.

The Goofy Family felt quite unwell one morning last week, so I offered to make eggs. For eggs to work effective magic, they have to taste, look, and feel like sunshine with a side of toast. So I looked up Science Food Man Harold McGee's recommendation for how to make "perfect" scrambled eggs, by which he means tender and moist eggs, safely cooked-through, and with even, fluffy curds. This culmination of eggdom was a lofty goal I had yet to attain. So I followed McGee's instructions. The result? Perfect scrambled eggs, just as McGee had described. George was delighted. I, on the other hand, had to keep reminding myself that eggs could be moist without being underdone. Soon, I am sure, I will become accustomed to the taste of greatness.
Perfect Scrambled Eggs
Mix the raw egg innards with cream or milk or somesuch. Add some salt and pepper.
Heat up a fry pan on medium low heat. Add butter. When the butter has just started bubbling, pour in the eggs. Cook the eggs on medium low heat, constantly stirring the eggs and scraping the bottom. When the eggs are about ten seconds away from being completely set, scoop them onto the plate (they will continue to set on their own). Serve immediately with nice toast.

A man hit by gunshots fired into his home early Wednesday has died, Rio Rancho police confirmed.
According to Lt. Brett Denison, officers were called to the area of Plata and Pecos Loop around 3:45 a.m. A man reported his roommate has been shot by an unknown person.
The preliminary investigation indicates several shots were fired into a home in the 700 block of Plata SE.
The victim was identified as David Pickett, 57. He was taken to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
State police are treating the shooting as a homicide investigation. Investigators have identified several persons of interest and are actively locating all parties.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 843-STOP.

I am one of the few lucky one who was quickly and timely diagnosed by Neuro ophthalmologist Dr. Jeffrey Haag, Wheaton Eye clinic and confirmed by leading Neurologist in the field of MG Dr. Mathew Meriggioli, Director of Neuromuscular Division, Uni of Illinois Chicago . Dr. Meriggioli was kind enough to give me an appointment very next day after I spoke to him, in spite of his busy schedule, and started the treatment immediately. My MG disease is under control. My family and I are grateful to Dr. Meriggioli .

Open source software leader advances next-generation integration solution with big data profiling for Hadoop, support of major NoSQL databases and increased usability features
Maidenhead, UK - 5 November 2012 - Talend, a global open source software leader, today announced the availability of version 5.2 of its next-generation integration platform, the only offering that provides a unified environment for managing the entire lifecycle across data, application and process integration requirements. With version 5.2, Talend extends the industry's most flexible, scalable and adaptive integration platform with the introduction of key new capabilities, including big data profiling for Hadoop, support for widely-used and deployed NoSQL databases, and a set of improvements that increases product usability and performance across the entire platform.
Big Data Profiling
In its mission to democratise big data, Talend has focused extensively on solutions that make deploying and managing Apache Hadoop and related technologies simple, without requiring specific expertise in these areas. With version 5.2, Talend has taken its big data strategy a step further by adding big data profiling for Hadoop, providing companies with the ability to discover and understand data in Hadoop clusters. Among the typical problems associated with data quality are duplication, incompleteness and inconsistency, which create inefficiencies in data processing. Talend Platform for Big Data includes new capabilities for visibility into big data in all its forms and locations. These include the ability to analyse data in Hive databases on Hadoop "in place" without extraction and the ability to perform data hygiene tasks, including data cleansing, enrichment, matching and de-duplication directly inside the Hadoop cluster through Hadoop code generation.
Simplified NoSQL Integration with Hadoop
Talend 5.2 adds support for NoSQL databases in its integration solutions, Talend Platform for Big Data and Talend Open Studio for Big Data, with an initial set of connectors for Cassandra, HBase and MongoDB. Built on Talend's award-winning open source integration technology, Talend Open Studio for Big Data is a powerful and versatile open source solution for big data integration that natively supports Apache Hadoop, including connectors for Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), HCatalog, Hive, Oozie, Pig and Sqoop - in addition to the more than 450 connectors included natively in the product. As NoSQL has become the go-to technology for certain data architectures, the integration of these platforms into Talend's big data solution enables customers to use these new connectors to migrate and synchronise data between NoSQL databases and all other data stores and systems.
"Talend version 5.2 delivers on our vision of simplifying the development, integration and management of big data so that businesses can focus on using that data to make faster and more informed decisions," said Fabrice Bonan, co-founder and chief technical officer, Talend. "We provide the most powerful and versatile open source, big data solution to help organisations load, extract and improve disparate data while leveraging the massively parallel processing power of big data technologies including Apache Hadoop and leading NoSQL databases."
Latest Release of Talend's Integration Products
In addition to Talend's big data enhancements, Talend introduces version 5.2 of its flagship data integration products that leverage the Talend Unified Platform. New features focus on product usability, user productivity improvements and performance to provide a more robust and easier to use solution.
Talend Enterprise Data Integration - In v5.2, parallel execution of jobs can now leverage multi-core hardware. This new version also supports continuous integration between development, test and production environments and is integrated with open source build manager Maven.
Talend Enterprise Data Quality - Version 5.2 includes expanded address validation algorithms, precise e-mail validity detection, and native fraud detection capabilities. A new set of components allows customers to use Melissa Data to validate addresses.
Talend Enterprise MDM - Support for a wider range of enterprise architectures in v5.2 lowers the barrier to MDM adoption; organisations can now use their Oracle, MySQL, Derby or H2 databases as the underlying MDM data store.
Talend Enterprise ESB - In this version, Continuous Integration between development, test and production environments is now available. Version control system Nexus is also supported for versioning and deployment.
Talend Enterprise BPM - Talend v5.2 presents a fully integrated BPM engine into the Talend Runtime. Talend users only need to manage a single container, which can run data jobs, web services, REST applications and now BPM processes. With fewer moving parts in system environments and the flexibility to run multiple instances of different application types within the same container, the work of the IT administrator is significantly reduced in terms of management and maintenance of the software.
Version 5.2 of Talend Open Studio for Data Integration, Talend Open Studio for Data Quality, Talend Open Studio for MDM, Talend Open Studio for ESB and Talend Open Studio for Big Data are available for immediate download from Talend's web site www.talend.com/. Version 5.2 of the commercial subscription products, available before the end of 2012, will be provided to all existing Talend customers as part of their subscription agreement and can be procured through the usual Talend representatives or partners.

By Pat Romanski 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 ... Jan. 31, 2015 12:30 AM EST Reads: 3,096 |
