For any enquiries regarding the Canadian Orientation Abroad (COA) project, please send an email to email@example.com
Canadian Orientation Abroad (COA) is a project implemented by IOM, funded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC). COA provides pre-departure information and orientation to Refugees, Immigrants and Live-in Caregivers to help them adapt to life in Canada.
IOM has been successfully implementing pre-departure orientation training on behalf of Canada for over two decades. Since the inception of COA in November 1998 up to December 2013, 172,175 visa-ready participants have attended a pre-departure orientation session. Participation in COA sessions is voluntary and free of charge. Sessions to refugees generally take place over three days, while sessions to immigrants are one day.
COA is supported by IOM's training methodology, which takes an interactive, learner-centred approach that accommodates the different learning styles. Working with a wide range of experts and partners in Canada and abroad, COA has developed various curriculums and handbooks that are distributed during the sessions.
Refugees and immigrants bound for Canada typically have a limited understanding of the Canadian culture and society, coupled with unrealistic expectations on settlement and life in Canada. In some cases, future immigrants have also been misinformed or have not considered all the factors related to their integration in the Canadian society and the Canadian labour market. Since this lack of information can potentially hamper successful settlement and integration, the COA project provides information and resources that will empower newcomers and provides them with a better chance of integrating successfully.
The objectives of the COA project are to:
COA is offered at 15 permanent sites, which covers over 40 locations worldwide.

Beyond the 15 permanent sites, mobile COA sessions to refugees are offered in various locations, based on demand. COA permanent sites in Colombia, Ghana, Kenya, Malaysia and Russia act as Regional Sites (RS) and provide regional mobile sessions when needed. In 2013, COA sessions have also been provided to refugees being resettled from Syria to Canada.
"The overall objective of the COA project is to contribute to delivery systems designed to enhance Canadian immigration and to strengthen the government's capacity to ensure successful settlement, adaptation and integration of newcomers into Canadian society. Though this outcome can only be seen in Canada, the challenge and the accomplishments start abroad, one refugee, one immigrant, and one live-in caregiver at a time, through the dedication of many COA trainers scattered in the four corners of the world."

Diophantus was a Greek mathematician who worked in Alexandria around 250 A.D. He was called by some "The Father of Algebra".He wrote a 13 volume treatise on Math of which we have 6 volumes.The other seven volumes have been lost.
Diophantus was the first man that we know of who used letters for variables, developing the synocopated style of writing equations. The Greek letter above is "zeta" which Diophantus used instead of "X."
Diophantus made numerous contributions in the area of algebraic symbolism. However, he only worked with integers. Consequently, Diophantine equations involve only integers as coefficients.
Al-Khwarizmi, also known as, Abu Jafar Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi was born in Baghdad, ca 780 AD, a city now in Iraq, around 780 and died around 850. Although there is little information on the life of Al-Khwarizmi, what we do know is rather profound. He is known today as the "father of algebra". -

Hellenistic mathematician Euclid details geometrical algebra in Elements.The origins of algebra can be traced to the ancient Babylonians, who developed an advanced arithmetical system with which they were able to do calculations in an algebraic fashion. With the use of this system they were able to apply formulae and calculate solutions for unknown values for a class of problems typically solved today by using linear equations, quadratic equations, and indeterminate linear equations. By contrast, most Egyptians of this era, and most Indian, Greek and Chinese mathematicians in the first millennium BC, usually solved such equations by geometric methods, such as those described in the Moscow and Rhind Mathematical Papyri, Sulba Sutras, Euclid's Elements, and The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art. The geometric work of the Greeks, typified in the Elements, provided the framework for generalizing formulae beyond the solution of particular problems into more general systems of stating and solving equations.
Indian mathematicians proceeded to write treatises on algebraic means of solving equations from the end of the first millennium BC, followed by Hellenistic mathematicians from the early first millennium AD. Important algebraic works from this general era include the Bakhshali Manuscript, the works of Hero of Alexandria, the Arithmetica of Diophantus, the Aryabhatiya of Aryabhata, and the Brahma Sputa Siddhanta of Brahmagupta.
The word "algebra" is named after the Arabic word "al-jabr" from the title of the book al-Kitāb al-muḫtaṣar fī ḥisāb al-ğabr wa-l-muqābala, meaning The book of Summary Concerning Calculating by Transposition and Reduction, a book written by the Persian Muslim mathematician Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Ḵwārizmī in 820. The word al-jabr means "reunion". Al-Khwarizmi is often considered the "father of algebra" (though that title is also given to Diophantus), as much of his works on reduction are still in use today. Another Persian mathematician Omar Khayyam developed algebraic geometry and found the general geometric solution of the cubic equation. The Indian mathematicians Mahavira and Bhaskara, and the Chinese mathematician Zhu Shijie, solved various cubic, quartic, quintic and higher-order polynomial equations.
Another key event in the further development of algebra was the general algebraic solution of the cubic and quartic equations, developed in the mid-16th century. The idea of a determinant was developed by Japanese mathematician Kowa Seki in the 17th century, followed by Gottfried Leibniz ten years later, for the purpose of solving systems of simultaneous linear equations using matrices. Gabriel Cramer also did some work on matrices and determinants in the 18th century. Abstract algebra was developed in the 19th century, initially focusing on what is now called Galois theory, and on constructibility issues.Source(s):
Algebra has ancient origins, although its development is frequently attributed to Euclid of ancient Greece and Rene Descartes in the 17th century.
Even before Euclid,, however, algebra was known in basic form in the ancient theories of equasions. There is evidence in Mesopotamian cuneiforn tablets that it was quite developed even before the birth of Christ in what has been called the fertile crescent or what is now called the Mid East. Even earlier the Egyptions most probably used equasions in the building of the pyramids but their theories were less advanced than in Mesopotamia.
The theory of quadratic equasions in geometric form, a forerunner of modern algebra was developed in Greece as early as 300 BC by Euclid, mentioned above, who is frequently called the father of Algebra.
Also algebra was used and developed further in the Hellenistic world after the Alexandrian conquest. Alexandria, in Egypt became a great center of learning and Greek (Hellenistic) scholars developed and used algebraic theory in the construction of the great edifices throughout the Hellenistic world.
There are also Indian texts showing its use in India in the fifth and sixth centuries BC.
By the tenth century however the great centers of learning were in the Arab world and the use and development of the ancient equasion theory as developed by Euclid and those who followed him continued to be used and developed there. It was, in fact, the great muslim scholars that preserved the ancient Greek heritage of learning including the works of Plato and Aristotle as well as that of Euclid. Muhammad ibn-Musa al Khwarizmi, about 850 AD, produced a writing that was translated into Latin and from this writing algebra was re-introduced into Europe, but its roots were of Greek, Euclidian, origin..
It was not until the 12th century, however, before algebra returned to Europe, were it continued to develop until the 17th century when Rene Descartes applied algebra as it existed then to coordinate geometry. He took the principles of Euclid and those that followed him and developed modern algebraic techniques. including the identification of the sign rule and introduction of new symbols. From his time on Algebra developed in coordination with analytical geometry and calculus.
What is known as modern Algebra probably begins with Paolo Ruffini and the mathamaticians of the 19th century who continued to refine it.
Although Algebra has many roots and contributors and in its modern form it is a long way from its Mesopotamian, Egyptian and Greek origins, its essence is most likely found in the ancient Greek theories of quadratic equasions in geometrical form and it is, therefore, Euclid who seems to get the credit for being its father. -

Just picked up mine. Hopeful there will be no issues.

There is NO WAY that Canon will decrease megapixel count. Megapixels can only go up, never down as that is difficult for marketing to overcome. They could only go down by creating a new camera on a different line for a special purpose. Otherwise, for MP to go down, the specs would have to be incredible. 1DX type specs. Canon isn't going to hand down the 1DX sensor and shutter to the 5D line. I don't remember a 2nd tier pro camera inheriting the previous generation flagship specs. The flagship models keep certain strengths for longer.
You mean like the a7s? Did that camera not make waves, even though its pixel count was way down over the original a7 cameras?
There is a reason the pixel count went down.
Remember, Canon are a follower, not a leader. Sony showed that there is a market for such a camera, now Canon will follow because they are too timid to lead.
Hi all.
I wanted to get a 5Diii that wasn't grey market, so I can make use of the warranty, if I needed it. However, if magic lantern voids the warranty, spending more for a US market camera may not be worth it. So, does anyone know if you can still get a US market 5Diii serviced under warranty, if magic lantern is removed?
If I can, I may jump on this deal.
There are lots of independent repair shops that will do out of warranty repairs.
There were no substantial or tough questions at all. No word about how long the outdated 500nm prozess will remain, why they have so much more readout noise than Exmor etc and nothing about any week points. The journalist fears to no be invited anymore, and gave a Marketing platform for the executive or was just to week personality to ask more tough, just allowed the executive to hide behind politeness.
And to be unpolite, the 5ds and 5dsr are in no way revolutionary, not even evolutionary, just more megapixel. That is what we see since the beginning of digital. They just catch up with the processing power of the 1dx, which is towards the end of life. This proofes that Digic 6 is no real improvement or that there is another bottleneck in the dataflow.
We can be sure, there is no improvement in DR, they would have mentioned it, even if there would be a developpment on the way. We can be sure, we will get no better sensor in the 5d4, and of course not in the 1dx successor, which is more about high iso and fastness.
Lets invest in some more expensive glass, and lets hope for the 5dsii
The 7DII seems to handle smooth gradients and constant tones WAY better than the 7D did. That was a major issue I had with the 7D.
In any case, the 5DIII definitely shows more detail, and less chroma and luminescence noise at high ISO than the 7DII does. But man, you really have to look for it. I'm questioning if its worthwhile to pay twice as much for a refurbished 5DIII and 24-105, when I can "simply" buy a new 7DII and not have to deal with the transition to FF. I tend to shoot slow moving targets more often but still, the 7DII is compelling.
Now you done it! How dare you suggest full frame might not be worth the investment!
Seriously, even though I switched from 7D I to 5DIII about a year ago, I'd have to say you really do need to think long and hard about whether or not it's worth the price of entry to full frame. I would say it depends in part on what lenses you already own because, as you correctly point out, it's not just the cost of the body, it's the cost of the lenses as well.
Clearly the gap is narrowing and while there always will be a gap, it is moving more and more toward the margins.
Now, expect to see an avalanche of posts from full framers telling you how APS-C can never compete with full frame. But, just remember, we have to justify our investment.
I just wanted to do a full jrista quote at least one time, too :-p ...
... and care to comment that you have to take care of inflation, because when Canon has moved to a smaller process, faveon or quantum sensors it might be 2100 and you're money has gone :->
Could you expound on what "so far ahead" means? I'm curious why Canon's sensors are dead last in terms of performance and innovation.
See below.What is a fact and what is relevant is not always the same. It depends on the individual and the situation. It is a fact that the Sony sensor is better in certain situations. But that fact is not relevant for all photographers. Obviously it is relevant to some such as yourself — I am not disputing that.
You are still missing the point. You keep going back to perceptual factors...subjective factors...things that change from person to person. Some people may only use ISO 400-1600 for their photography, and the DR they get from a Canon sensor is more than enough for their needs. Great. But that has nothing to do with what I'm usually talking about.
You keep injecting these external subjective factors, when they simply don't matter when it comes down to the technology. You get annoyed that I say Canon sensors are far behind everyone else. Why? This has nothing to do with whether Canon sensors are good enough for you personally. If they are, GREAT! That's wonderful.
However just because a sensor is good enough for you, or good enough for John and Jane Doe over here, doesn't change the facts. The simple fact of the matter is, Canon sensor technology is really old. They have made minor evolutionary changes here and there, but fundamentally, it's still developed on an ancient process, with old 200mm wafers with lower quality silicon, on a very very old 500nm process, resulting in lower quantum efficiency, lower energy efficiency, lower yield rates, etc.
These are simple facts. It simply is what is...that is the state of Canon sensor technology. They have pushed the 500nm process REALLY freakin far...which in one sense is quite admirable from a "Getting your money's worth" from a particular fabrication process. However, at this point, it's become their Achilles' Heel...the technology is presenting limitations, and while they could keep pushing things, doing so is more likely to hurt performance even more than not. For example, on a 500nm process, the transistors and wiring take up a certain amount of die space. Why hasn't Canon shot strait to 36mp yet, or 47mp? Fill factor would become a concern...they might get more megapixels, but their older technology is probably going to hurt their IQ with smaller pixels on a FF sensor more than benefit it...relative to the competition. The competition is using 180nm and 130nm processes (maybe even smaller, 90nm), which require far less die space, resulting in fewer fill factor problems, making it a lot easier to push pixel count without losing overall light gathering capacity (which impacts overall performance.)
Canon has done an admirable job with the 500nm process, but given the design decisions they have been making the last few years, it seems clear to me that the large transistor size is holding them back. I mean, we are talking about 2000-era fabrication technology here...it's REALLY old. I don't know why Canon hasn't moved to a more advanced process, with larger 300mm wafers made from better silicon. They have 180nm fabs capable of laying down copper interlink wiring (which is much more efficient), which do use 300mm wafers and which are made from better silicon. Those fabs have already produced high efficiency sensors with 59% Q.E. (which is much closer to the top of the line Sony sensors, which are topping 60% these days). Canon has better technology...they simply are not employing it in their APS-C and FF sensors. They are still employing very dated fabrication technology and techniques for these sensors...and the impact of that older technology is quite apparent when you start digging down into Canon RAW data.
I do astrophotography, have for about eight months now. For astrophotography, working the linear signal is very important. Processing astro "sub frames" is very different from processing a RAW normally for regular kinds of photography. You work the data in linear space a lot first, before "stretching" it with an MTF curve. When your working the linear data, it's easy to see the differences. Canon data is very, very noisy, and lacks in color fidelity in the lower echelons of the signal. Exmor data (I've only worked with it from D800 cameras) is far cleaner, with richer data way down near the noise floor. CCD data is the cleanest, with extremely clean, random noise and ultra low dark current (which means the darkest parts of the signal are very smooth, without hot pixels and dark current noise intruding into the signal.) The difference between Canon RAW data and CCD data is huge. The difference between D800 RAW data and CCD is a lot smaller. Some astrophotographers who have applied the black point hack have been referring to D800 data as "near-CCD quality", which is something no one has ever said about Canon data.
The differences are real. Hence the reason I refer to this stuff as fact.
Whether the differences affect your particular kind of photography is a whole different thing. That is not concrete, factual information. It's a matter of perception. It's a matter of subjective judgement. That isn't incorrect, however, it doesn't change the facts either. Not everyone needs to use every part of the sensor. Some people simply don't care about shadow falloff quality. Some people prefer high contrast, in which case they are going to tighten up that contrast curve and crush the blacks anyway. Some people shoot at an ISO range where there are minimal differences between different sensor types. If you don't utilize the RAW signal information in a way that reveals the problems with Canon sensors, GREAT!
However, just because you don't utilize the the RAW signal that way doesn't mean no one does. Again, that doesn't change the FACTS. Canon sensors are fabricated with old technology...a very old, very large 500nm process, on 200mm wafers (most companies stopped using those period years ago, and the ones that still do are not manufacturing huge sensors on them...everyone else uses higher grade 300mm wafers). Canon's readout system is also getting rather dated, and is still utilizing high frequency ADC units (and only a few of them) to handle all the pixel data coming off the sensor, which is largely where their very high DR-killing read noise comes from (many manufacturers have moved to on-die ADC units, one per column, that are able to operate at much lower DR-preserving frequencies that don't generate nearly as much noise), as well as even combining all the image processing into a stacked sensor+DSP package, which shortens transfer bus from centimeters to microns, which also reduces the places where noise can seep into the signal. Canon uses really old sensor technology for their APS-C and FF sensors.
If they change that (they should, at some point...personally I think it's long overdue, but there is probably some logistical or budgetary reason why they haven't yet), and move to their newer fab that uses 300mm wafers and a much higher end 180nm fabrication process, Canon sensor tech would rocket forward. By the time Canon actually does that, 180nm will already be "last generation"...companies are already moving from 180nm and 130nm processes to 90nm processes...but at least the 180nm process is much newer and more advanced. It won't limit Canon's ability to shrink pixel size at the cost of fill factor. It will probably make a move to BSI for APS-C and FF parts much more viable with much smaller pixels. A LOT of good, on the purely technological front, could be realized simply by moving off their 500nm process onto their 180nm process.
Don Haines has a theory that Canon is waiting for P&S sensor production to ramp down on their 180nm fab before they crank up production for APS-C and FF sensors there. I think that's a highly plausible explanation for why they haven't moved to a better, more modern fabrication process and more modern sensor designs yet. Personally, I have to figure that with a 50% or larger contraction in the P&S market the last couple of years, Canon should already have the ability to start manufacturing newer APS-C sensor designs there at the very least...but there could be other limitations...maybe they have to completely ramp down the P&S manufacture before they can ramp up manufacture for something else, I don't know. Anyway, at some point, it should happen. When is the real question...and everyone has differing opinions on that.

Remarkable, two door/two vestibule tents offering maximum usable space, outstanding comfort, and excellent strength in lightweight packages.
Because of its two door/two vestibule configuration, its lightweight yet strong materials and its expansive room, the Kaitum 3 GT provides an outstanding balance of light weight, superb comfort and high strength. Backcountry users of all types – backpackers, paddle and bicycle tourers, hunters, winter campers, ski tourers, and climbers, among others – opt for the Kaitum 3 GT when their trips demand the increased space and flexibility the extended GT vestibule affords. While adding very little weight, that larger vestibule offers considerably more space for both gear storage/sorting and food preparation. The extended GT vestibule also has two entrances, one on the side and one up front, on the opposite side, offering both more entry/exit options. And by rolling back the front section of the extended vestibule, you create a full tent-width "covered porch" deep enough to keep all but the worst weather away from the inner tent door. And taller users will find the Kaitum 3 GT's plentiful floor space, vertical entrances, and vertical walls a roomy pleasure.
Other Kaitum models
Kaitum 2 – two person version.
Kaitum 3 – three person version.
Kaitum 2 GT – two person version with extended vestibule.
"Kaitum" is named after a beautiful lake and river in northern Sweden.

Big Banks Could Post 30% Dividends: Analyst
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- After the stress test results come out in March banks such as PNC Financial (PNC - Get Report), BB&T (BBT), Fifth Third (FITB - Get Report), U.S. Bancorp (USB - Get Report), Huntington Bancshares (HBAN - Get Report) and Wells Fargo (WFC) may be able to payout a 30 percent dividend, said FBR Capital Markets analyst Paul Miller in a note.
Miller said he believes that JPMorgan (JPM - Get Report) could pay a 20 percent dividend, and that overtime the bank could exceed a 30 percent payout ratio.
"We also note that JPMorgan may hold back on increasing the dividend to that level in the near term, given the company's large allocation of capital to the investment bank and expectation to build out more than 1,500 branches in the next five years," Miller said in a note. Miller adds that Bank of America (BAC - Get Report) should be able to pay a dividend of 10 cents on a quarterly basis.

Jabber - Was there any ICE cold beer there ? just wondering --- lmao
Very sorry to hear Don .
During the Norfolk, Neb. Independence Day parade on Friday, one float depicted President Obama's presidential library as an outhouse, spurring state Democrats to denounce the float and the message it sent.
The float featured a wooden outhouse on the back of a flatbed truck, with signs reading, "Obama Presidential Library." A dummy in overalls was attached to the float.
And the people cheered! Of course the black folks screamed racist. Although I have seen the same float depicting a different president and that was OK...
Well, it's disrespectful and it's funny. I think the humor wins out.
Ff...that's when the truth hurts.

NBC is wasting a great opportunity of assigning Darren Pang as analyst. He's a lot of fun to listen to, he's very much into the game he's calling and is far above the "here let me educate you" attitude of Engblom and McGuirre.
I feel like a stranded runner when I read stuff like "a high BABIP and some pretty strong left/right splits."
The NYY and the Dodgers unis are far far better than that of the Cards. If the Cards' is number one is because it's a subjective list and the author had to pay tribute to his favorite team.. Thanks.
The Bills. Just send the memo early to the Pats: "don't make it a blow out so we can keep the tv audience."
People also gave the Pats for dead and the Packers as champs after their match up at Lambeau.
These analysis read like the same tired stuff of years past plus some gratuitous enthusiasm for the new faces. It seems that the writer doesn't really bother to listen to any other team than AM/CC of NBC. Anyway it's all subjective.
I get why the Miracle broadcaster gets so much love, but in my view, well... I don't even listen to him anymore, so I'd be doing the very thing I'm pointing out.
Whether to "sign a journeyman quarterback such as Jason Campbell or Brian Hoyer, but is that option more appealing then trying to develop Manuel...?" or not, a defensive head coach leading a team that shows a big inability to score TDs is unlikely to bring the Bills to a higher level than they already have, but that's better then nothing.
@longsufferingbrownsfan I shoulda done the same after the 4th consecutive SB loss by the Bills.
If Ed Hochuli (We can't see the goal line) is not the referee I'm not watching.
I managed to go through the whole season without watching SNF or MNF, (even with my favorite teams playing) and I'm glad I did. Then I watched the Steelers- Ravens play off game and Collinsworth came up with his Goodell's integrity comment.
FOX underappreciates the talent they have around. Demoting Kenny Albert was a clear sign of that. His team improved this season, I found Goose's comments at the beginning of the games to be right on the spot most of the times and he also refrained from making inane comments just for the heck of it during the games. Moose only needs to loosen up a little bit and add a little fun to his comments, Kenny certainly has a knack for that. Kenny as always calling a great game, in a concise, emotive way, always on top of every play, for instance, he wasn't fooled by the Rams trick plays against Seattle.
Buck and Aikman are good at keeping a fan interested in a game, but I doubt fans make any clear sense of what they say. They are the number one team because of their names.
That's just about as much as FOX has to offer in terms of booth talent. We also saw Brian Anderson (FOX Sports Wisconsin) work for TBS and CBS this last season, while FOX keeps giving us the Myers, Brennamans of the world.
And that guy Justin Kutcher, he's a sickening Chip Caray sound-alike.
CBS teams are the best, except for their "number 1" team. I watched only two games called by them, one TNF game and the game between the Pats and the Packers. Nantz doesn't put anything into calling a game. They built up such hype for the NE-GB match and when it started Nantz induced a few yawns from me. Simms doesn't add anything to the broadcast that a regular fan doesn't already now.
Their best team is that of Harlan/Gannon. They are a lot of fun to listen to, they get along very well and love calling the games, it shows on their broadcasts and it makes for a great watching experience.
The Bird and the Beard didn't improve much from previous seasons. Eagle has a very nice voice and style, and Fouts doesn't need to wait for the replays to tell us what happened on a play, which shows he's really good at his job. The addition of Jenny Dell made for a more pleasant broadcast. They certainly deserved a play off game, but NBC took two games this year.
The teams of Dedes/Wilcotts and Catalon and the Steves are very good and deserve a greater window. Wilcotts did not work very well when he was paired with Harlan, but now it seems he found his perfect fit with Dedes. Catalon calls a great game and the Steves don't step on each other's lines. I think Tasker deserves to be featured on his own regular team maybe with Brian Anderson.
Speaking of which, it seems that the CBS broadcast teams were not deep and good enough so they brought Brian Anderson for a couple of games late in the season! Shows how much FOX underappreciates the talent they have around (for they demoted Kenny Albert also).
All in all CBS blows away the competition.
The "anonymous person" that evaluates broadcasts is obviously not doing a great job evaluating the rest of the broadcasting teams.
And Aikman dropped another gem in that interview:
"When it [the Dez Bryant play] happened I did not think for a minute it was not a catch."
I don't disagree with that.
Pretty soon you'll be receiving warnings to "Respect the A"
@Serenity Now You're absolutely right. FOX has no clue as to what real talent is.
Who wrote this, Mike Pereira?
I can picture him leaning back comfortably on his couch giving this anti-conspiracy explanation to justify the referee's actions, just like he did after the Bills-Broncos game.
It's such a let down come play off time not to have Eagle or Harlan or Albert anymore. I don't bother watching the entire games, just download the condensed versions.
Considering the "power" and "influence" of the National Football League it's strange that they don't already have all of the post season on pay tv.
I think Ian Eagle was the one broadcaster I noted that put a conscious effort not to mention "Redskins."
Why should the team worry that specifically Burkhardt and Lynch don't call the team by their nickname?
Kristina Pink!
What Joe Buck said.
Tom Terrific used to pitch for the Mets. He's not a cursing NFL QB.
It's been a heck of a lotta fun listening to Harlan/Gannon this season. They are amazing, get along very well and have a great time calling the game which makes for a very pleasant viewing experience. They are Number One in my book.
As if the CBS broadcast teams weren't good and deep enough, they add Brian Anderson now. CBS definitely blows away the competition.
I beg to disagree ... had Aikman remained silent Buck's "rip" would have been terrible.
"brutally rips" is just a click bait here.
The endless supply of idiots goes on and on.
Half-a-loaf "number two" team.
I'm going to miss my first Bills game this season because FOX is sending that sickening Chip Caray-sound alike to call the game. Ugh.
On the other hand, CBS should have Brian Anderson call the Jags game again.
Funny, aren't hockey players the ones supposed to talk like that?
I suspect Foster wants to play for the Jaguars so he can go to London every year.
HIs number one fan is happy anyway.
Sources tell me that the next big deal is not going to be reported by a teenager.
Hope he just becomes the next Tebow, zero success on the playing field mwhahahahaha
I can get this to play on my Universe B4.
Dumb and dumber, as it's always the case.
Why the heck does that individual even have a job?
Mattingly should not get fired. Yes he made a blunder in the game the Dodgers were eliminated, but it's not his fault his ace choked (twice), or that the bullpen didn't perform or that the offense was so anemic. This big contract, big ego team needs to come down to Earth and just perform like their bay neighbors.
I didn't get to see this report on FOX since I get the MLB International feed. I don't recall what inning it was when Gary Thorne broke the news, but as he was reading the note he clearly became more and more unbelieving of what he was reading. Rick Sutcliffe was very sad too, and they could hardly say anything, it was very difficult for them.
@mremis Agreed about the bottom ticker, it's to wide and distracting, they also have that on the NFL broadcasts.
On the other and, it seems that no matter how many cameras they have in the arena, they use the one in the center about 90% of the time.
@tgakk001 The same reason why you care to post your comment instead of going out to do what you said you'd rather do, which I'm sure you won't do even if paid.
On the other hand, isn't it great that we foreign characters get the MLB International feed and don't have to go through HR and Co?
@CUbsfan The NFL memo arrived late. Top teams are told not to blow out weaker teams too early in the game so the networks can keep whatever audience they get for that game. Sources unconfirmed.
TBS's Johnson sounds like a Marv Albert wannabe. He pronounces the Latin American players names terribly. His partners are repetetive an unprepared. They could not go away soon enough.
Calling Puig a "superstar" and saying that Mattingly "foolishly" benched him sounds like cheerleading.
Puig is way too focused on himself, on being the hero, and on showing off his great arm. He hardly thinks in team terms. I don't know whether Gonzalez's and Uribe's advice go in one ear and out the other. If there's a good oportunity to strenghten the bullepn by trading him, I'd say go ahead.
The "face" of the Dodgers? That's a certain left hander who got beat twice in the division series.
Number two still hurts like heck.
I've been disapointed that my favorite broadcast teams have been assigned somewhat lackuster games so far in this season.
Where is that stellar guy from NY that FOX so generously promoted to their 2nd team this season?

President must stay within Constitution
Published: Thursday, December 22, 2005 at 9:14 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 21, 2005 at 11:00 p.m.
The issue: Warrantless surveillance of Americans by their government.
We suggest: It violates U.S. law.
The Bush administration apparently bypassed the checks and balances aimed at protecting Americans from government snoopers with its program of surveillance inside the United States since shortly after Sept. 11, 2001. The administration should immediately return to operating under the terms of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
The president has not made a convincing case that his administration needs to act outside existing U.S. law to gather information about threats to the nation. According to news reports, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court has approved some 11,000 secret warrants since its creation in the 1970s, often acting within hours of requests, and rejected only five applications. The law even allows the court to grant permission retroactively, after surveillance is under way, but the administration has not sought that either.
President Bush in the fall of 2001 authorized the National Security Agency to intercept communications within the United States between Americans and reauthorized it at least 30 times since in 45-day intervals. The president said Congress was briefed about the actions and this meets the obligations of checks and balances under the Constitution. But members of Congress who attended the briefings say they were not told that surveillance activities were to include spying on Americans.
U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Penn., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, called the warrantless surveillance "inexcusable clearly and categorically wrong" and said the committee he heads will hold hearings to examine its legality. After spending an hour with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Specter said he has "grave doubts" about the validity of the administrations position.
News of the warrantless surveillance is sparking a debate about the use of executive power. Thats appropriate. The Bush administration argues that the war on terrorism merits any and all action to prevent another attack. However, the Founding Fathers gave us the Constitution as an instrument of protection against overbearing and intrusive government power. Americans time and again have endorsed the wisdom of the checks-and-balances system to limit government power.
That said, times do change and our tactics must change to defend against new enemies. But it is the Bush administrations obligation to present the case for its actions and receive permission before acting outside recognized constitutional boundaries. It has not done so.
We ask President Bush to have faith in our Constitution. He and all members of his administration also must have faith in the members of Congress and of the judiciary. The U.S. Congress and the courts are not the enemy. It is demagoguery to question the patriotism of anyone who does not blindly agree with the presidents position.
Americans treasure their liberty and freedom above all. This is a central part of what our government is protecting when it defends our nation. Do not attack our individual privacy and freedom in the name of defending our individual privacy and freedom.

Four Best Practices for DevOps Success
Much of what is written about DevOps focuses on the development team and on making things faster. And the ops team is thinking, "Whoa, slow down! We need to ensure there's quality, so going fast with poor quality doesn't help." So dev and ops are immediately at odds with each other, because their goals are different.
You want to center all teams around the common objective of having a predictable and reliable customer experience. That's just not a coding issue. There is a difference between quality of code and quality of experience, and what really matters to an organization is quality of experience. Dev, ops, and testing all succeed together in creating a quality experience, or they fail together.
Achieving DevOps success requires coordination across different IT department workflows, and poses a challenge for many organizations. Success ultimately depends on an IT organization's ability to integrate technologies and processes at key points along individual departmental life cycles. The goal is to maintain the same levels of control while moving more quickly through the processes.
A recent Gartner report, Best Practices to Sync and Streamline DevOps Cycles for Faster IT Service Delivery, by Cameron Haight, Jim Duggan, and Thomas Murphy, published April 12, 2013 offers four best practices for enterprise end users to further interdepartmental collaboration:
- Update departmental cycles to reflect the new requirements for velocity-oriented IT organizations.
- Coordinate cycles across departments to reduce process and workflow delays and information loss.
- Identify convergence areas that require multidepartment collaboration and technology integration.
- Perform continuous improvement of workflows to reduce waste and improve IT effectiveness.
To learn more details about these practices and how you can streamline your DevOps cycles for faster IT service delivery, I encourage you to read the full Gartner report, which is available compliments of CA Technologies.

With the ability to support a billion sensor events per second, over 30PB of warm data for analytics, and hundreds of PBs for an data analytics archive, in his session at @ThingsExpo, Jim Kaskade, Vice President and General Manager, Big Data & Ana... Mar. 1, 2015 09:00 AM EST Reads: 1,273 |
By Carmen Gonzalez In the consumer IoT, everything is new, and the IT world of bits and bytes holds sway. But industrial and commercial realms encompass operational technology (OT) that has been around for 25 or 50 years. This grittier, pre-IP, more hands-on world has much to gain from Industrial IoT (IIoT) applications and principles. But adding sensors and wireless connectivity won't work in environments that demand unwavering reliability and performance.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Ron Sege, CEO of Echelon, will discuss how as enterprise IT embraces other IoT-related technology trends, enterprises with i... Mar. 1, 2015 09:00 AM EST Reads: 2,178 |
By Pat Romanski 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 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.

By Pat Romanski One of the biggest impacts of the Internet of Things is and will continue to be on data; specifically data volume, management and usage. Companies are scrambling to adapt to this new and unpredictable data reality with legacy infrastructure that cannot handle the speed and volume of data.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Don DeLoach, CEO and president of Infobright, will discuss how companies need to rethink their data infrastructure to participate in the IoT, including:
Data storage: Understanding the kinds of data: structured, unstructured, big/small?
Analytics: What kinds and how responsiv... Mar. 1, 2015 05:00 AM EST Reads: 2,429 |
By Pat Romanski Since 2008 and for the first time in history, more than half of humans live in urban areas, urging cities to become "smart." Today, cities can leverage the wide availability of smartphones combined with new technologies such as Beacons or NFC to connect their urban furniture and environment to create citizen-first services that improve transportation, way-finding and information delivery.

By Liz McMillan Sensor-enabled things are becoming more commonplace, precursors to a larger and more complex framework that most consider the ultimate promise of the IoT: things connecting, interacting, sharing, storing, and over time perhaps learning and predicting based on habits, behaviors, location, preferences, purchases and more.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Tom Wesselman, Director of Communications Ecosystem Architecture at Plantronics, will examine the still nascent IoT as it is coalescing, including what it is today, what it might ultimately be, the role of wearable tech, and technology gaps stil...

By Pat Romanski The true value of the Internet of Things (IoT) lies not just in the data, but through the services that protect the data, perform the analysis and present findings in a usable way. With many IoT elements rooted in traditional IT components, Big Data and IoT isn't just a play for enterprise. In fact, the IoT presents SMBs with the prospect of launching entirely new activities and exploring innovative areas. CompTIA research identifies several areas where IoT is expected to have the greatest impact. Mar. 1, 2015 02:00 AM EST Reads: 3,038 |
By Carmen Gonzalez Wearable devices have come of age. The primary applications of wearables so far have been "the Quantified Self" or the tracking of one's fitness and health status. We propose the evolution of wearables into social and emotional communication devices. Our BE(tm) sensor uses light to visualize the skin conductance response. Our sensors are very inexpensive and can be massively distributed to audiences or groups of any size, in order to gauge reactions to performances, video, or any kind of presentation.

Marantz has always been known for producing high-end audio products and the Consolette is their first wireless iPod dock, which they have tried to make something special in every way, including the design. The Marantz brand has associated itself with producing high quality sound combined with advanced features for most of its products. Marantz started producing audio equipment over 60 years ago, and coincidentally the very first product that Saul Marantz sold was called the Consolette pre-amp. Since then they have come a long way with this Consolette docking station!

The big news in premium home audio is that Marantz is becoming available through Future Shop. Their stuff is pretty high end, focusing on quality and top tier performance. Not everyone has learned to appreciate the difference premium quality can make so lets take at an example of how the sort of products Marantz offers can make a difference for you via music therapy.

Great deal! Limited time only!
Most of the things I like to do are more fun in pairs. As a rule, I prefer high quality and low maintenance. So, I'm looking for someone who can be just as happy in LaQuinta as in the W Hotel--someone who knows that it's all about the company you keep, not the price of the room.

I definitely enjoy going out to local attractions, but I haven't been to any particular one consistently enough to call it my "favorite". I like variety. There is a hot spot for every mood.

Music, Netflix, healthy foods, apple pie, an active lifestyle, and masculine guys with a Jason-Stathem-meets-Vin-Diesel edge who actually like to cuddle...These are a few of my favorite things.
When I have free time, the first thing I do is turn OFF the calendar app. Anything goes from there...

League Pass: Noah brings the same intensity in passing the ball that he does with rebounding and defending.
You already admire his sheer tenacity to compete. His grit and determination to defend the goal. Now appreciate the added dimension that Chicago Bulls big man JOAKIM NOAH brings to the game: His unique ability to pass the basketball…
Not many big men in the league can do this folks. What's more, not many big men even have the forward pass in their vocabulary. Especially once the ball goes into the paint. Not Noah, though. Averaging a robust 5.2 assists per game (tops for NBA bigs), dude is close to the complete package at center. Noah can even lead a fastbreak.
The Bulls may not be championship worthy just yet but don't tell Joakim Noah that. Dude will do any and everything the Bulls need to win.
And that at the very least is a champion's mentality. Pass it on.

Fifteen-year-old Jeff wakes up on New Years Day to find himself in the hospital. Make that the psychiatric ward. With the nutjobs. Never mind the bandages on his wrists, clearly this is all a huge mistake. Jeff is perfectly fine, perfectly normalnot like the other kids in the hospital with him. Theyve got problems. But a funny thing happens as Jeffs forty-five-day sentence drags on: the crazies start to seem less crazy. . . .
Compelling, witty, and refreshingly real, Suicide Notes is a darkly comic novel that examines that fuzzy line between normal and the rest of us.
Michael Thomas Ford is the author of the teen novel Suicide Notes as well as several essay collections and adult novels, including Jane Bites Back. He lives in San Francisco with his partner and their five dogs.
Praise for Suicide Notes: "With a sprinkling of dark humor and a full measure of humanness, Suicide Notes is quirky, surprising, and a riveting read."
-Ellen Hopkins, New York Times bestselling author of Fallout and Crank
"Make(s) a powerful emotional impact."
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Jeff's journey is wittily unique, balancing a fresh voice and a uniquely realistic character with comedy and seriousness."
"Jeff's wit and self-discovery are refreshing, poignant, and, at times, laugh-out-loud funny."
-School Library Journal
"Like the very best teen novels, Suicide Notes is both classic and edgy, timeless and provocative."
-Brent Hartinger, author of Geography Club and The Last Chance Texaco
"This book is equal parts hilarious, bittersweet, and strange. You will love every page of it."
-Scott Heim, author of Mysterious Skin and We Disappear
