David Flatman: The risks will only get worse, but there's no simple answer
View from the front row with Bath & England prop
Sunday 25 October 2009
Contrary to what the armchair cynic might assume, seeing Andrew Sheridan dislocate his shoulder last week made me feel horrible. Of course, an injury to any man with whom one is in direct competition can only improve one's chances of a call-up, but in this instance I felt nothing but sympathy for my old friend.
Perhaps it is because I have been where he is – in bed, in pain – and know exactly what he is going through. Apart from the physical discomfort, it is the feeling of uselessness that seems to affect the sidelined rugby player most severely. Knowing that all of your mates are out on the field running around, while you sip water to stave off the painkiller-induced cottonmouth and flick between Cash in the Attic and This Morning on the television, is utterly soul destroying. As much as you might crave the week off at the moment your alarm clock sounds in the early winter dark, a good injury lay-off is all it takes to make you appreciate being fully fit.
Sheridan is, however, just another name to add to England's truly unfortunate list of injuries; Lee Mears has hurt his knee and will be out for up to two months and Danny Cipriani, Tom Rees, Riki Flutey, Jordan Turner-Hall and Delon Armitage have been ruled out of the autumn internationals through injury. This week Phil Vickery was added to that list, having suffered a neck injury which now needs corrective surgery.
At the risk of sounding like an omniscient pensioner, this is all symptomatic of the modern-day game. Nobody is surprised at the amount of blokes getting hurt, are they? As becomes more and more visible with every passing weekend, the game as we once knew it is dead. Those taking part are now significantly bigger, more powerful and better prepared than ever. The thing is – and I'm no doctor, so excuse the assumption of knowledge – the bones, ligaments, tendons and cartilage do not quite seem to be managing to keep up with the annual rate of muscular inflation. Serious injury is, as one physiotherapist put it to me recently, only a scrum away.
But is there anything we can do to arrest this trend? Well, resting players, as we saw two weeks ago in Cardiff when Harlequins tried it, does not go down well. Perhaps it is the game itself that needs tinkering with.
Like all prop forwards in the world, I think referees rarely get it right and guess all too often at the scrummage (unless they are awarding me a penalty, in which case I am the first to congratulate them on their set-piece mastery). A while ago, to make the whole area more manageable for the officials and more "safe" for the poor trolls at the coalface, a "touch" was introduced to the engagement process. This, to my mind, achieved roughly nothing. If we wish to reduce the likelihood of catastrophe at scrum time, the engagement itself has to be done away with. As this is sacrosanct – to my barbarian friends and me at least – its abolition is not an option. We front-rowers feel privileged that the part of rugby which encompasses all that is great, confrontational and primal about the game falls under our job spec, so the engagement must stay, and the risk must remain part of the deal. The breakdown, too, is always a potential zone of danger. But unless we ban all bodies from hitting the floor (often head first), the level of potential risk seems set to rise as it always has.
Of course, it is the damaged player who suffers most, closely followed by the helpless coaches and managers whose job it is to select winning teams. But it is not often that the spectator's view is canvassed. These people, rugby's financial lifeblood, pay good money to watch the stars take the field and do battle. Nothing they do can possibly change fate and stop players getting hurt but one must sympathise with the short-changed punter. After all, a ticket to watch Wasps is no cheaper if, like this week, Rees, Vickery, Shaw and Sackey are not playing. Poor old Joe Bloggs.
Realistically, and it pains me to say this, the only possible answer is impossible. Risk is, of course, directly proportional to minutes played. As we all know, fewer games may equal fewer injuries, but sadly it also equals less cash. There has to be a balance in all sports between commercial appeal and athlete welfare but, with rugby seemingly doomed to remain on the breadline, neither side of this see-saw seems to weigh up at all.
So, it seems things are unlikely to change and the likes of Martin Johnson are unlikely to find their selection process any less fractured or problematic. The only thing we can do is what we have always done, what our contracts tell us to do; put in our gum shields, pray for another week's grace and, above all else, try to be bigger and stronger than all the others.
It will click, but we can't sit around and wait for it to happen
It was devastating to lose again yesterday but we've got to be careful that we don't slip into a situation where we're chasing that elusive win.
We've simply got to play how Bath play – we don't want to throw it around everywhere. We've got a structure and we need to stick to the plan. There were times when we didn't get it right and we allowed Newcastle to play some good stuff. If you continue to make errors you will struggle to win. A Bath supporter might say that they got a couple of tries against the run of play but we can't think like that.
We did play some really good rugby but we just couldn't quite finish it off. It's all very well looking fantastic in two thirds of the field, but we also spent too much time in our own 22.
There are intelligent people at this club in terms of the playing staff, and the message is "don't panic". We will allow ourselves some time to sulk but ultimately that will get us nowhere.
There can be no thoughts of us not being able to pull it around. There will come a time when it will click but we can't sit around and wait for it to happen. We will stick to our game and get it right.

If Santa's looking for a few extra elves this holiday season, he need not look any further than Princess Margaret Junior School in Etobicoke.
The school's 300-odd students not only assembled more than 250 gift-wrapped shoeboxes full of small toys and gifts destined for less fortunate children in developing countries, but they also packed them, assembly-line style, into awaiting delivery trucks in a record 45 minutes this week.
One by one, each of the 261 brightly wrapped shoeboxes assembled were passed from hand to hand, student to student on Wednesday morning, winding their way from one end of Princess Margaret Junior School to the other and out the back doors to be loaded and delivered to a warehouse in Mississauga. From there, the Canadian Food for Children charity will ship them out to children in need in Peru, El Salvador, Guatemala or Ghana – giving underprivileged kids the chance at a happy holiday.
For 10-year-old Alisha Kapasi, who was single-handedly responsible for bringing in 21 of those 261 shoeboxes, the whole shoebox drive experience was a rewarding one.
"It's sad to know that there are people in Third World countries, and you know that they are less fortunate. I want them to be as fortunate as I am, and when you think about it, we are really fortunate. We've got a great school, we've got great families, we have lots of attention, so it's nice," she said, noting that she packed her boxes full of mini shampoos and conditioners she collected from local hotels, and a lot of little gifts purchased with money and gift cards donated to her by family members and local businesses.
"I hope on Christmas morning they'll feel happy and excited to use all these different pencils and things I packed for them, and I hope they feel good inside. It's nice knowing that they'll have a nice Christmas."
This year marks the first year Princess Margaret students have participated in the Dr. Simone's Canadian Food for Children Shoebox Drive.
Over the course of two weeks last month, the students and their families were encouraged to assemble shoeboxes full of new and gently used goodies including soaps, crayons and markers, pencils and pens, pads of paper, socks, small toys, hair accessories (clips, headbands, scrunchies), tooth brushes, small stuffed animals, and costume jewelry.
For the school's kindergarten to Grade 5 students, the drive has proven an exercise in giving back, said Princess Margaret Principal Anna Viegandt.
"The whole idea behind the shoebox drive comes down from the thought of giving – and giving to those underprivileged and less fortunate than we are, because, in the end, we have so much more than others. I think the kids are starting to realize that now, and what we've done is amazing," she said, noting that many of the shoebox gifts will go to shanty towns in the poorest of poor neighbourhoods. "I'm totally proud of my students. They did a wonderful job."
Inside the Di Matteo sisters' combined 14 boxes are a wide variety of gifts for a wide variety of recipients – in one box for a young boy, they put in some games; in another for a 16-year-old girl, they packed some makeup; and in yet another box for a little girl, they packed some of their favourite dress-up items.
For seven-year-old Tessa, being able to pass along some of her favourite things to another little girl in need is what makes the shoebox drive all the more special.
"It makes me feel happy because then they get stuff that we don't use that much," she said. "My mom said that was the best present; that it makes her feel happy, too, that we're giving to others stuff we don't use and that we're not throwing it away and other people are going to get to use it."
And for Tessa's older sister Alexa, 9, the shoebox drive taught her that not all kids around the world are as fortunate as she is.
"We're delivering boxes to the children in Third World countries so they can have a Christmas present, because sometimes their parents can't buy one," she said. "We're helping somebody in the world who doesn't have gifts from their parents."

Stranger Than Fiction
Review: Will Ferrell becomes an Actor.
The serio-comic fantasy Stranger Than Fiction marks the most dramatic role yet for funnyman Will Ferrell, who had previously exhibited some dramatic acting range in Woody Allen's Melinda and Melinda.
Directed by Marc Forster from a screenplay by Zach Helm, Stranger Than Fiction follows anal-retentive IRS agent Harold Crick (Will Ferrell) whose orderly life is turned upside down when he starts hearing a voice in his head. The voice is that of an English woman who is narrating all the events transpiring in his life.
The voice turns out to belong to bestselling author Kay Eiffel (Emma Thompson) and Harold realizes that he is actually just a character in one of her books... and that he's going to be killed off. Seeking out help from literature professor Jules Hilbert (Dustin Hoffman), Harold must determine if he's part of a tragedy or a comedy.
When it becomes clear that he may indeed be doomed, Harold starts to break out of his mundane routines and live his life more fully. He also finds love with an unlikely girlfriend, Ana (Maggie Gyllenhaal) -- a baker whose cafe Harold is auditing.
Ferrell owns the role as Harold Crick. As poignant as he is comical, Ferrell's performance here does for him what The Truman Show did for Jim Carrey and Punch Drunk Love did for Adam Sandler: It legitimizes him as an actor who is also a comedy star rather than a comedy star who gets to act in movies.
Ferrell finds the right balance of bewilderment and pathos as a man whose mundane time may have finally run out. He doesn't want to die, but what exactly has he done with his life? What has he enjoyed about it? Was he truly alive or was he just existing?
Hoffman makes for a great foil to Ferrell. Prof. Hilbert is a droll cynic who suggests that Harold is crazy without ever having to come out and say so. Hoffman and Ferrell have great chemistry together and neither actor ever upstages the other.
Thompson largely exists in her own movie here as the chain-smoking, eccentric Kay Eiffel. She is a tortured artist-type whose writer's block is of an almost record length. Thompson's character goes from being someone who is cold, morose and thoughtless into a person with a newfound appreciation for life.
Gyllenhaal continues to prove that she is among the most talented actresses of her generation. Ana is wiser than her years suggest and Gyllenhaal captures her jaded, passionate edge. Her romance with Harold is a bit curious, but Ferrell's innate innocence and benign manner helps to smooth over some of the story's rough edges.
The only truly weak note in the cast is Queen Latifah as Kay's new assistant Penny. This dour role largely robs Latifah of the effervescence she brings to the screen; she is too larger-than-life for such a buttoned-down role. A character actress like Alfre Woodard would have been more fitting for it.
The film asks the audience to take a big leap of faith when the fictional and the genuine finally do collide. It remains an unanswered phenomenon, a fantastical conceit a la The Twilight Zone, but it is an awkward transition. Those who are willing to take that leap will find Stranger Than Fiction to be one of the year's more interesting and satisfying films.

Condoleeza Rice's Extremely Creepy Encounter With Moammar Gaddafi
This is how Condoleeza Rice recalls her 2008 meeting with Moammar Gaddafi. If you didn't know already, Gadaffi was obsessed with her. He kept a secret love book with pictures of her.
Rice describes a 2008 meeting between the pair that ended with Gaddafi showing her photos of Rice with world leaders — and the performance of a song he had composed in her honor.
"What was going through my head was 'How long do I have to sit here and how quickly can I get out of here?' You know, it was funny because when he said, 'I have a video for you,' I thought, 'Oh my goodness, what is this going to be?' But it was actually just a bunch of pictures of me with Vladimir Putin, me with Hu Jintao," Rice tells ABC News in an interview set for next week. "And then he said, 'I have Libya's best composer, most famous composer write this song for you,' and it was called 'Black Flower in the White House.'

I'm using C# with .NET 3.5.
I am using the System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsBase class to load and save application settings. One of the settings I would like to preserve is an in-memory System.Data.DataTable. The DataTable contains just two columns of type UInt32 and System.Net.IPAddress, respectively. When I call the Save() function on the ApplicationSettingsBase, I get the following exception:
InvalidOperationException: System.Net.IPAddress cannot be serialized because it does not have a parameterless constructor.
If I just use a System.Net.IPAddress object as the setting instead of the DataTable, I do not have a problem. There's something about it being in the DataTable that is causing the exception.
Any ideas what might be going on? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Did the Independent candidates win final Toronto-Danforth debate?
Andrew Moran
Mar 16, 2012 in
- Did the Independent and minor political party candidates win Thursday night's final Toronto-Danforth by-election debate? Although they most likely won't win the by-election, the Independents brought forth applause and innovative ideas.
The Toronto-Danforth candidates made their final case before residents cast their votes Monday for the federal by-election. The two-hour debate featured the Independent and minor political party candidates providing different insights into the political sphere as opposed to the four major political candidates.
Nine of the 11 candidates answered questions about the economy, the environment, what the role of government ought to be and the now infamous Bill C-30, which has garnered a lot of negative responses from Canadians across the country.
indicate that New Democratic Party candidate Craig Scott, who sported an orange tie Thursday night, will most likely win Monday's contest. However, the raucous crowd was as much behind the Independent candidates as they were for Liberal Party candidate Grant Gordon, Green Party candidate Adriana Mugnatto-Hamu and Scott.
Prior to the debate, Quebec Liberal Member of Parliament Justin Trudeau spoke to reporters where he said that when he has spoken to voters in the Toronto-Danforth federal riding, a lot of people said they voted for Jack Layton instead of the NDP.
"Why wouldn't they? But now they're looking for someone who is going to represent their riding well," said Trudeau. "It's been a great succession: from Bob Rae to Dennis Mills to Jack Layton. But they want someone who is going to be strongly active in the riding."
Conservative Party candidate Andrew Keyes and United Party of Canada leader Brian Jeden did not participate in the debate, even though they were invited.

When asked why this election matters to voters and the candidates, the overwhelming response was that they have to make Prime Minister Stephen Harper "accountable" and show Canadian voters not to be afraid to try something new – a reference to vote anything other than the three (maybe four) political parties.
"Instead of advocating for change from outside of the government, I'm ready to go inside government and fight for change and be effective. I hope after this evening, you'll agree," said Gordon.
Christopher Porter, leader of the Canadian Action Party (CAP), asked the crowd, "Who thinks Canada needs a better government." With a majority of hands raised, Porter said that's why he is running for higher office.

"This is about democracy. You asked why it's important to vote, it's important to vote to participate," said the CAP leader. "If you're not participating you're speculating and spectating. Unfortunately, we have too many people speculating as part of our nation."
At one point of the debate, Gordon asked his opponents who designed their own material for their campaigns. Only the Independent and minor political party candidates raised their hands, but Mugnatto-Hamu and Scott did not. Gordon noted that he wrote his own material, brochures and website information.
Scott interrupted him and accused Gordon of not writing his own material either. "Nor did you, Grant," said the NDP candidate.
The moderator then interjected and urged the candidates not to interrupt whoever is speaking.
Towards the end of the debate, the candidates had the opportunity to ask their rivals a question. It went from a heated exchange to a moment of singing (seriously).
Toronto-Danforth Libertarian candidate John Recker.
Andrew Moran
John Turmell, a veteran Independent candidate who has run several times and has promoted the "Argentine Solution" on many occasions, was quite enthusiastic, which is a characteristic trait he exhibits throughout each debate. He was able to ask the Green Party candidate about the Climategate scandal. Turmell noted that he bet $100 at the last debate.
"Guess what? Temperatures have been going down and I think these people should be charged for murder for every person found frozen to death in Bermuda shorts for global warming," said Turmell, who received continuous applause throughout his remarks. "I asked the lady and the NDP and the Liberal, who have all propped manmade global warming: why don't you take my $100 bet? I say it's been getting colder and they have been lying to us."
Mugnatto-Hamu immediately replied that she took the bet and explained her point of view as to what happened in the Climategate scandal. She explained that Turmell "was deeply mistaken" as to what "hide the decline" really meant.

"It's funny that people think that 'hide the decline' means there there was a decline in the temperature. That isn't actually what they were referring to," said the veteran Green candidate.
Turmell interrupted and asked, "Hide in the popularity?"
Following her response, he called for a debate after the election to talk about climate change, global warming, the Climategate scandal and other environmental policies that have been pushed by all sides of the political spectrum.
When it was the Green candidate's chance to ask a question, she asked Dorian Baxter, the poignant and eloquent PC candidate, to sing. He then proceeded to sing to the audience, who previously imitated Elvis Presley earlier in the evening when he told the crowd if he is elected, "Ottawa will be all shook up."
The evening ended with a rendition of "O Canada."

Pernod Ricard signs up Jamie Cullum for music marketing activity
By Gemma Charles, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Friday, 16 November 2012 01:30PM
Pernod Ricard is rolling out a marketing programme for its premium Martell VS brand themed around after-dinner performances from internationally acclaimed musicians.
A series of experiences will bring together food from renowned French chefs and after-dinner performances from well-known musicians, across France and the UK.
The 'Martell Very Special Nights' drive is aimed at "celebrating the after-dinner drinking occasion" and will launch in November.
The activity for the French cognac has been devised by M&C Saatchi Sport and Entertainment, which will be responsible for brokering artist partnerships. The agency this week signed up jazz singer/songwriter Jamie Cullum as its first performer.
Vicky Wood, marketing controller at Pernod Ricard said: "The idea, centred around creating very special experiences, is designed to engage a baby boomer audience through multiple channels."
Separately, M&C Saatchi Sport and Entertainment has also been handed the social media business for Jameson Cult Film Club following a competitive pitch.
The brief includes development of the overall digital strategy and tone of voice for the brand, as well as the creation of all content for Jameson across the brand's social media channels.

Thirteen people have been sickened, including four who were hospitalized, with food-borne illnesses linked to E. coli bacteria, state health officials said Monday.
Investigators haven't linked the cases to a particular food item, according to an announcement Monday from the Minnesota Department of Health. But all the illnesses were caused by the same genetic strain of E. coli O111, the department said.
The patients have recovered or are recovering.
"The ill people do not all share any obvious commonalities," the health department said in a statement. "These facts indicate the illnesses resulted from a widely distributed food item."
Seven of the people reported eating at Applebee's restaurants in Minnesota from June 24-27, according to the health department. But there are many cases with no apparent connection to the restaurant, state officials said.
In a statement, the restaurant company wrote: "Applebee's restaurants in Minnesota voluntarily and out of an abundance of caution have temporarily removed the Oriental Chicken Salad, as well as other ingredients including green cabbage and shredded carrots, from the menu."
"Six of the 13 cases of food-borne illness that the state is investigating have no connection to Applebee's, an indication that the illnesses likely are a result of a vendor produce issue," the company added.
Those sickened had visited five restaurants in the Minneapolis area, according to Applebee's.
Health officials said E.
Most people recover in five to 10 days.
Health officials say that E. coli O111 is in the same family as the more well-known E. coli O157:H7.
Minnesota typically sees about 230 to 240 illnesses a year from bacteria in the E. coli O157 family, said Michael Schommer, a spokesman for the Minnesota Department of Health. "Most of these infections are not linked to a specific outbreak or food product," Schommer wrote in an email.
Anyone who has visited an Applebee's restaurant in Minnesota since June 20 and has symptoms of this particular E. coli infection -- particularly bloody diarrhea -- should contact their health care provider immediately, the department said. There is no indication of risk at Applebee's restaurants outside of Minnesota, the company said.

Raising Funds to Fuel the Fight for Muscle Health
I'm going to try to run 13.1 miles in Boston! As many of you know, I worked for MDA for years and had the privilege of knowing the work I did every day was "help for today, hope for tomorrow" for thousands of people diagnosed with one of dozens of muscle diseases. I'm now signing up as a volunteer to help raise the funds needed to continue the fight. MDA's mission became very personal for me when a dear family friend was diagnosed with ALS while I was working in the Maryland office. He lost his battle this year so it is in his memory, as well as the many others I've met over the years, that I am going to run until I can't run anymore! Please help me reach (and hopefully exceed!) my goal!!! Thank you!
Love, Cheri

Taipan August 25, 2013 8:01 PM Last Edited 550 days ago If he'd gone any slower his team mate would have got the podium, his car didn't seem quite as slow as Lulu's for some reason, must have been the driver.It's a bit of a shame that Lulu got the pole due to good fortune with the weather yesterday, other wise it would have been a third grand chelem for Vettel, he did the hard bits, led every lap, fastest lap and win. Rare things these days. Reply Report abuse 12 agree 26 disagree
Taipan August 25, 2013 8:42 PM Some more comedy gold from Lulu land, F1's resident fashion guru has revealed why he wont wear the Mercedes cap this season...."I would like to help to design the Mercedes team clothing," Hamilton told Bild am Sonntag newspaper in a wide-ranging interview."I don't totally like what we have at the moment -- that's why I don't wear the cap.With priorities like that does he really deserve to win another championship? In fact does he even deserve to be in F1? Reply Report abuse 17 agree 23 disagree
nickw August 25, 2013 9:06 PM Seriously mate - you've got issues.If you really are a middle aged bloke, and you choose to spend hours upon hours, name calling on the internet, then you really need to ask yourself a few questions. Reply Report abuse 42 agree 6 disagree
Ptolemy August 25, 2013 10:36 PM Did Hamilton really say that about the hat?At the first race this season I asked myself "why isn't Lulu wearing the cap?"He CANT be that screwed up.Is this some kind of a sick joke? Reply Report abuse 8 agree 2 disagree
Ptolemy August 25, 2013 10:42 PM Ah, now I see the difference. Michael ALWAYS wears his "Deutsche Vermogensberatung" cap, even to this day. Now, that cap is one UGLY son of a gun, but that's the difference in a normal brain and a Lulu brain.Lulu has been known to bite the hand that feeds him more than once.Displaying team and sponsor clothing is one of the MOST important things an F1 driver does. Reply Report abuse 9 agree 3 disagree
Taipan August 25, 2013 10:48 PM Ptolemy, Apparently so, I must admit I laughed my ar$e off at that one. He wants to design the team clothing, so next year we'll see chin strap beards and earrings on the helmets and tattoos on the race suits so that the rest of the Merc team can look super cool like him! Much as I think the little fellow has been bad for the sport I have to give him his dues he is worth a laugh (at) Reply Report abuse 10 agree 10 disagree

Murph64 August 26, 2013 12:22 AM Give poor old LH a break or wealthy young LH a break, he can't help blaming something or someone else for not winning, I must say Seb made him look very average when he made that pass on him, must be that red bull car or should I say a drinks company car but Webber didn't pass him so it can't be that, perhaps Seb is a fast driver!!! Reply Report abuse 8 agree 5 disagree
kiwibob August 26, 2013 12:35 AM Tiepin why would f1 be better off without one of the four best race drivers around today and he got pole because he was smart enough to be last qualifier . But to say f1 better off without him is the same as saying its better off without seb alonso or kimi and thats crazy thinking the same as the fan boys who think he is the worlds best rien the hate and i don,t care what any driver says or does off track i follow them on track end of Reply Report abuse 8 agree 5 disagree
Taipan August 26, 2013 1:06 AM Kiwinob, I'll answer your question in a simple fashion, F1 would be better without Lulu because real F1 fans wouldn't have to put up with fanboys, he's a decent driver, vastly over rated but decent, sadly his extremist fans just make it impossible to wish him any good fortune. To be fair he also makes it hard for any normal fan to wish him good fortune "I want to design the team clothing" LOL what a bellend. That might be your idea of an F1 driver Kiwi but it certainly isn't mine. Reply Report abuse 9 agree 11 disagree

It should have the comment that was reported at the bottom of the email that bbc sent you. I'm currently on vacation from my birth board for fifteen days. I didn't check my email for warnings. By the time I was blocked I already had warnings and had no idea. I think they should send them to our inboxes on here. But that's just my opinion.

When it comes to the Internet of Things, hooking up will get you only so far. If you want customers to commit, you need to go beyond simply connecting products. You need to use the devices themselves to transform how you engage with every customer and how you manage the entire product lifecycle.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Sean Lorenz, Technical Product Manager for Xively at LogMeIn, will show how "product relationship management" can help you leverage your connected devices and the data they generate about customer usage and product performance to deliver extremely compelling and reliabl...

By Carmen Gonzalez The explosion of connected devices / sensors is creating an ever-expanding set of new and valuable data. In parallel the emerging capability of Big Data technologies to store, access, analyze, and react to this data is producing changes in business models under the umbrella of the Internet of Things (IoT). In particular within the Insurance industry, IoT appears positioned to enable deep changes by altering relationships between insurers, distributors, and the insured.

By Liz McMillan The IoT market is projected to be $1.9 trillion tidal wave that's bigger than the combined market for smartphones, tablets and PCs. While IoT is widely discussed, what not being talked about are the monetization opportunities that are created from ubiquitous connectivity and the ensuing avalanche of data. While we cannot foresee every service that the IoT will enable, we should future-proof operations by preparing to monetize them with extremely agile systems. Feb. 28, 2015 11:00 AM EST Reads: 1,126 |
By Carmen Gonzalez There's Big Data, then there's really Big Data from the Internet of Things. IoT is evolving to include many data possibilities like new types of event, log and network data. The volumes are enormous, generating tens of billions of logs per day, which raise data challenges. Early IoT deployments are relying heavily on both the cloud and managed service providers to navigate these challenges.

By Yeshim Deniz The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality. Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs.

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

Homebuilders' Shares Mostly Rise On Housing Data
In June, National Association of Home Builders Chief Economist David Crowe projected that single-family home construction will fall this year by 9 percent from last year to 431,000 â¿¿ the lowest level on records going back more than a half-century.
Even so, some homebuilders say customer traffic is improving heading into the fall.
On Monday, Lennar CEO Stuart Miller told analysts that his company is still seeing building strength, in terms of people coming in. He said that trend is generally upward.
However, the executive stressed that demand for new homes remains constrained by the availability of financing and weak consumer confidence.
Lennar shares surged on Monday, but were among the few homebuilding stocks on a slide in afternoon trading on Tuesday. The Miami-based builder's shares were down 17 cents to $14.30. M/I Homes Inc. also was trading lower, slipping 7 cents to $7.38. KB Home was the biggest climber, with shares up 28 cents, or 4.6 percent, to $6.37. Elsewhere in the sector, D.R. Horton rose 25 cents, or 2.6 percent, to $9.81; PulteGroup rose 15 cents, or 3.4 percent, to $4.53; Hovnanian Enterprises Inc. added 2 cents to $1.41; Beazer Homes USA Inc. gained a penny to $1.81; Toll Brothers rose 22 cents to $16.06; NVR Inc. added $5.89 to $648; Standard Pacific Corp. gained 2 cents to $2.49; Meritage Homes Corp. rose 17 cents to $17.36; MDC Holdings Inc. added 75 cents, or 4.2 percent, to $18.53; and The Ryland Group Inc. rose 29 cents, or 2.7 percent, to $11.23.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Front More Photos Photos (2) Video View larger Original Entertainment Media CH-4100 DVD receiver for select 2005-up Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles Item #: 061CH4100 2 Reviews This item is no longer available. Original Price: $799.99 Shop all In-dash Video Receivers Need help? 1.888.955.6000 Email Chat Ask an expert advisor No pressure, no commission — just lots of good advice from our highly trained staff.
by Zak Billmeier OEM designed the CH-4100 DVD receiver specifically for select 2005-up Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles, so you'll get a stereo packed with the features you want, in a handsome package that looks like it was installed at the factory. You'll keep the look of your dash, but get a whole lot more of a stereo than came with your vehicle. Bluetooth® connectivity With a compatible phone, Bluetooth technology lets you hear your calls over your vehicle's speakers and see caller ID information on the receiver's 4.5" screen. With a simple touch of the screen, you can place and answer calls without fumbling around with your phone. iPod® & MP3 The included iNport module gives you an iPod port, RCA audio/video inputs, and an auxiliary input for connecting other gear. Hook up your iPod, and you'll be able to access iPod playlists, view photos, and play video files using the smooth and intuitive touchscreen controls. Connect an MP3 player to the auxiliary input on the iNport, or load up a DVD with MP3/WMA files for cruising music that'll last for weeks. Audio and video features Your music comes through loud and clear, courtesy of OEM's 22-watt x 4 amplifier and 24-bit digital-to-audio converter. Tweak the sound to your liking using the built-in equalizer, or choose from 9 preset tone curves. You can use the preamp outputs to add amps and subs, and hook up a video monitor for passengers in the back. Connect a video game console for the kids using the iNport's video input. Navigation ready Add GPS navigation to your touchscreen with the optional SNAV-1 module, or choose one of OEM's portable GPS units; you'll get over 11 million points of interest, plus preloaded maps of the U.S. and Canada. Voice-guided turn-by-turn directions get you everywhere you need to go. An area information search feature helps you find restaurants and other attractions in your vicinity, and a voice guides you there gently with pinpoint precision. Other expansion opportunities The CH-4100 can grow with you add XM satellite radio for commercial-free music, plus sports, talk, news, and kids' programming. If you tow a trailer or have a larger vehicle, add a rear-view camera to see what's behind you on the touchscreen. You'll get three remote controls with the CH-4100, so your backseat passengers can control their music and movies without bugging the adults up front.

You can watch a movie on the screen when you're parked on a Saturday night, or play a DVD through your rear seat video setup on the road. Touchscreen receivers allow you to breeze through menus with the tip of your finger. Most DVD receivers feature a USB input for audio from your iPod, and the ability to add an adapter that allows video to display on the screen. Some receivers even offer connections for a center speaker and a subwoofer, so you can build a full-fledged theater in your car, just like at home.
Great, recommend even though they are discontinued Written By Mark, Palm Bay, FL on Saturday, January 09, 2010 I received the radio and within 2 hours I had it installed and the NAV system working. Unit works great, responds fast and Navigation is pretty quick with speeds same as my $300 TomTom GPS. I have no complaints other than that the green illumination is a bit off color, but other than that, its full of features and has been working fine so far. Comes with BlueTooth, Nav, Reverse Camera input, XM Input and many more features. I would definitely recommend as a stock replacement.
