Along with Cole Abaius, I was quite taken with pure popcorn joy of The Avengers. Walking out of the theater one cannot imagine any blockbuster delivering a level of fun at that caliber. Plenty of moviegoers will come away this weekend thinking that exact sentiment, but then they'll recall this fantastic final trailer for The Dark Knight Rises that will play before Joss Whedon's Marvel pic, and they'll realize we still have one more superhero epic coming our way.

Open Data Powered Location Based Services in UK Higher Education
One of the Good Things about open data is that with the data being open, there's less pressure to lock down or restrict access to any of the apps that might build on top it. Whilst some open data initiatives are based around dumping partial, broken or unmaintained datasets "just because", other open data initiatives are actually using open data as part of a workflow, where the publication of the open data can be seen as opening up a window onto, and tap into, a working data pipeline (e.g. Putting Public Open Data to Work…?, Open Data Processes – Taps, Query Paths/Audit Trails and Round Tripping).
A couple of recent announcements show how universities are start to actually put their open data to work through location based services.
Yesterday(?) saw the appearance of the Southampton OpenData map, as developed by postgrad Colin William et al, using data wrangled into the open by Chris Gutteridge:
The maps taps into several of the Southampton open data sets, and displays information locating places to eat and drink (along with an idea of what's on offer, as well as opening times), computer access (including what software is available on what machines), and live travel information.
Last week, the OU's Mathieu d'Aquin and Fouad Zablith's wayOU – Mobile Location Tracking Using Linked Data/ app took the best demo prize at ESWC2011 (Extended Semantic Web Conference) (paper). This Android app supports check-ins around OU POIs (related: why POIs are more interesting than lat/long):
The code is available from the project's code repository. (I wonder when we'll start to see automatic "tracking indoors" using wifi location, cf. Tesco's In-store 'Sat-nav' up and working now in a Tesco branch – come and try it!..?)
So how else is location information and open data being used in UK HEIs? Oxford's Project Erewhon (review by Scott Wilson) linked into a central service, Oxpoints that provides a location based directory of many of the university's "entities" (colleges, libraries, museums, buildings, carparks, etc).
Over at Lincoln, ALex Bilbie and Nick Jackson started opening up Lincoln location services last year (I think the services described in that post have moved over to the Lincoln open data site, and as Lincoln's new facilities software comes online I think we can expect to see a lot more from them…
In Cambridge, the CamLib mobile interface draws on the Cambridge library API to allow you to lookup and locate any of the dozens of Cambridge University libraries (about). (Note to self, I should repair the talks@Cam/keeping up with events app I did whilst on my Arcadia Fellowship).
If you know of any other location based, university open data powered apps or services, please add a link in the comments…
PS The number of UK universities that I'm aware of running opendata* projects is still pretty low (The Open University, Southampton, Lincoln to my knowledge, with a couple of others on hold (e.g. Oxford) My Google search heursitic is: /uni-name/ university open data.
* What does, and what doesn't, count as "public open data" in the sector is still up for debate… Most universities do (or should) be able to make publicly funded research data public, although at the current time this is still handled in an ad hoc way (universities are still grappling with their open research data policies and repositories). Via several JISC initiatives, several universities have started opening up library catalogue usage data, and activity data from other library and VLE services (for example, Current JISC Projects of Possible Interest to LAK11 Attendees). Some universities have started opening up courses and qualifications catalogue data via XCRI, or via via open data initiatives. One rule of thumb might be: university/institutional open data is data that sits on a self-declared institutional "open data" website hosted on a university's web domain. That is, "open data" is data that is catalogued by the institution as such, and discoverable as such. I suspect that what universities put on such sites over time will have a common core, with additional datasets of local interest.

Thank you very much for sharing your work on this. I am hoping to meet with colleagues at the University of Leeds on the 23rd to try to make headway on developing our own open linked data and applications. I'll try to keep things open and let you know how I get on…
@andy Good luck with that; if I can help argue the case in any way…;-)
Well thanks Tony et al. We've made progress and have placeholders set up for http://data.leeds.ac.uk and http://id.leeds.ac.uk. Details of the meeting on the 23rd can be found via the GoogleDoc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11HHYRmknrUr65nAdFO9WBEmFVdPWc3FbUvCpQzCyqSg/edit?hl=en_US&authkey=CPjDl-wN
On the geo-data building and infrastructure data, perhaps more than most, we want a spatially 3D map. A large part of Leeds main university campus is physically connected with routes on what we call Level 10 or Red Route. An application I would like to see is a routing one for wheelchair disabled users that are visually impaired. I would also like a history of the campus for users to virtually explore a spatially 3D campus map. Looking forward in time, I would like the map to show planned or proposed changes and alternative views of what campus may become… We should explore CityGML (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CityGML) for this…
@Andy 3D layers sounds interesting… you going to publish KML for it? Google SketchUp was used to generate buildings for campus maps in a competition Google ran a year or two ago? They also had tools for helping you do quick and dirty 3D renderings of buildings based on photos, I think????

As the Senate voted on the economic rescue bill after 9 p.m. in D.C. last night, Congressional Quarterly's David Nather was watching the Senate floor (I was doing the West Coast update for "World News with Charles Gibson") and he reports that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was talking to his fellow Democratic senators on their side of the aisle and then walked over to the Republican side of the aisle to where Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was talking to Sens. Mel Martinez, R-Fla., and Joe Lieberman, I-Conn.
Nather writes that Obama "stretched out his arm and offered his hand to McCain. McCain shook it, but with a 'go away' look that no one could miss. He tried his best not to even look at Obama. Finally, with a tight smile, McCain managed a greeting: 'Good to see you.' Obama got the message. He shook hands with Martinez and Lieberman — both of whom greeted him more warmly — and quickly beat a retreat back to the Democratic side."

Tens of thousands of Iraqi troops, backed by Shia militias, Sunni tribesmen and coalition aircraft, have begun their biggest offensive against Islamic State in an attempt to retake the birthplace of Saddam Hussein. Isis seized Tikrit in June last year after the collapse of the Iraqi army across much of Sunni-dominated northern Iraq. It has held on to the city, famed as the former dictator's tribal stronghold for nine months, despite repeated attempts by Iraqi government forces to retake positions in and around the city. Recapture of Tikrit is seen as a vital step towards the eventual liberation of Mosul, Iraq's second city, which fell to Isis' lightning offensive last year and has since become its main stronghold inside Iraq. The Iraqi prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, travelled to Samarra, the other main city of Salahuddin province where pro-government
Mohammed Emwazi developed his lust for violence through his links to a gang of Islamist fanatics who used knives and stun guns to rob residents of London's most exclusive areas. Their haul was used to pay for jihadists to travel abroad. The gang included a fellow former pupil at Quintin Kynaston community academy in northwest London, who was later killed while fighting alongside Islamist groups in Syria. The Department for Education announced yesterday that it is reviewing how the school dealt with the radicalisation of its pupils. Past students recalled Emwazi as a bullied loner who drank alcohol, used drugs and lusted after other students, while a former Islamic State fighter said that he was being used. Classmates said that his links to the robbery gang and the death of two schoolfriends while fighting for Islamist groups shortly before he travel

They were held after police launched Operation Doublet into the child sexual exploitation of teenage girls by older men in Rochdale. Assistant Chief Constable Ian Wiggett, of Greater Manchester police, said: "This investigation is one of a number of cases which comes under the umbrella of Operation Doublet, which is the continued investigation into child sexual exploitation (CSE) that arose following the 2011 investigation into CSE in Rochdale.

There is reportedly much loud thinking and discussion in the government to raise debt and equity funding abroad in a big way, to finance domestic infrastructure projects. But given the wonky policy environment for most infrastructure sectors, with dicey collection of user charges and other rigidities, tapping funds overseas would imply adding on considerable foreign exchange risks to overall project risks. Ultimately though, the viability or otherwise of the external finance option for a...

However, depositors can withdraw these deposits 'on demand'. This prevents banks from locking their funds in long-term loans. Now an RBI internal group has recommended certain backstop...

Meridian: New World is a new real-time strategy game from independent studios Headup Games and Elder Games, due to launch in Q2 2014 for the PC. It's the brainchild of Hungarian indie Ede Tarsoly, who's spent the last two years building the game.
With a strong focus on a single-player narrative campaign, Meridian: New World will employ customizable loadouts for units – rocket launchers, plasma cannons and mining drills are a few weapon types. A full suite of level editing tools will also ship with the game and players can grab custom maps through a built-in downloader.
The decision to omit multiplayer came down to resources. "I simply don't have the resources required to polish both a single and a multiplayer mode so I had to make a decision between single and multiplayer," Tarsoly told Joystiq. "I already had part of the story written back when development started, so I decided to develop the single player mode."
Düren, 31st July – Last week we announced our latest RTS game in development, Meridian: New World.
Today we are happy to launch the official website to be found at
The website will offer a single point of contact for any gamer as well as direct contact to the brain behind the game, Ede Tarsoly from Elder Games, who will be maintaining the site in a joint venture with Headup Games.
To celebrate the public kick off, we are also releasing the first official trailer to the game. It can be found either on the website above, or by this direct link:
Meridian: New World is a single player sci-fi real-time strategy game, with the huge focus on storytelling.
Play as Daniel Hanson, commander of the first expedition to planet Meridian and uncover the dark secrets it holds! Shape the world around you with every decision you make and through every dialogue with your crew. Meridian: New World offers countless options to devise your own strategy, including various equipment options for your units and special abilities for you to rely upon. Use your abilities anywhere on the battlefield and turn the tide of battle by weakening the enemy troops. Alternatively take the covert approach and sabotage the enemy power supply to shut down their production. You can rely entirely on researching superior weapons or special abilities. Or you can risk building a large economy, constructing a massive army from your enormous resources. The strategy you use and how many troops you sacrifice to reach your goal will influence the attitude of your crew towards you.
Features of Meridian:
· Traditional RTS gameplay with a focus on strategy - the forceful approach rarely works
· Experience a world of choices where every decision has an impact on the world around you
· Use the right tool to get the job done: equip your units with 15 different weapons
· Gain XP during battle and upgrade your commander profile with special combat abilities
· Get to know the people on board your ship: by talking to them, you influence the crew's behavior
· Including a full level editor and scripting tool used to build the campaign maps will be available
· Never run out of maps with the in-game custom map downloader and official levels released frequently after release
Title: Meridian: New World
Platform: PC
Release: Q2 2014
Developer: Elder Games
Publisher: Headup Games

Apple jacks: iPhone will use EU's universal phone charger
Mark Lennihan/AP
One cord to rule them all.
Apple today joined the European fellowship for a snarl free future – a coalition of major device makers that agreed on a single kind of cord that will power all of their smart phones. Earlier this year, the list included AT&T, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Orange, Qualcomm, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, T-Mobile, and Vodafone.
But Apple held out. The company has had a curious relationship with technology standards. It evangelized FireWire as a speedy connection for gadgets and computers, but recently stopped including the jacks in many of its new laptops. It embraces AAC for audio and H.264 for video – but concocted many proprietary standards over the years.
Now, it's joined the micro-USB bandwagon. The effort evolved out of a European Union request to cut down of the obsolescence, e-waste, and energy consumption that plagued the old system. New phones often come with completely different cords, sometimes making the originals useless within a year. Also, the EU wants engineers to focus on a single format so that they can cooperate on reducing "vampire power" – the energy drawn when a gizmo is plugged in but the battery is already full.

Did you remember to run depmod -a in the kernel environment? Doing a modprobe -c will show the paths it uses (including the default) and a bunch of other information. Did you remember to copy the new $LFS/usr/src/linux-*/System.map into your boot directory? IIRC, it can be renamed to match your kernel version, thereby allowing your previous map to still be available. Do some man modprobe (it talks about default paths, but never mentions what it is) and man depmod. BTW, I do recall that if I ran depmod inside chroot, it picks up the host kernel version, *not* the new kernel version. It can be over-ridden at the end of the depmod command.

Forum List » Guru News and Commentaries Guru News, Stock picks and commentaries Ben Graham's Disciple: Charles H. Brandes
Posted by: Patience Investing Inc.
(IP Logged)
Date: March 23, 2012 09:24PM
This is a series on Benjamin Graham's disciples (direct students in this case), their association with their great master, their investment philosophy, and of course their performance.
This is basically a beginning of one of our projects, psychological profiling of the legendary value investors, starting with Ben's disciple with an objective to understand them better from the perspective of their psychological makeup since we believe cognitive psychology or dealing with cognitive biases, not stratospheric IQ give investors an edge over others in investment. The sole purpose of this project is that how investors can takeaway the most out of Graham's disciples. So far I came up with a list of disciples, mostly from Warren's article - "The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville." However, my list should not be considered as a complete one since they are not the only students Ben Graham taught at Columbia and New York Institute of Finance and I would appreciate if you let me know about others. I have arranged them alphabetically: Charles H. Brandes, Ed Anderson, Irving Kahn, Robert H. Heilbrunn, Tom Knapp, Walter J. Schloss, Warren Buffett and William J. Ruane. I think the following except from Warren's article - "The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville" better justifies the relationship between Ben Graham and his disciples. "In this group of successful investors that I want to consider, there has been a common intellectual patriarch, Ben Graham. But the children who left the house of this intellectual patriarch have called their "flips" in very different ways. They have gone to different places and bought and sold different stocks and companies, yet they have had a combined record that simply cannot be explained by the fact that they are all calling flips identically because a leader is signaling the calls for them to make. The patriarch has merely set forth the intellectual theory for making coin-calling decisions, but each student has decided on his own manner of applying the theory." For our research purpose, we will rely mostly on secondary resources available from these legendary value investors' writings, or writings by others on them or from their company websites. In this part of the series, we will talk about Charles Brandes, his association with Ben Graham, his investment philosophy, and performance. 1. Profile Charles Brandes is one the most widely followed global value investors today, manage some $32.9 billion assets at Brandes Investment Partners, a San Diego, CA based investment firm started in 1974. Charles stands on 331 on Forbes 400 list with a net worth of $1.3 billion. Brandes majored in economics from Bucknell University in 1965. He did graduates studies at San Diego State University. He is also a CFA charter holder. Brandes enjoys studying and understanding worldwide economic growth and the lack thereof, and is a fan of Elton John, who he had perform at his 2006 wedding to his wife, Tanya. Brandes also enjoys playing soccer and tennis in his spare time, and is an avid equestrian. Through his Tanya & Charles Brandes Foundation, Brandes supports the San Diego Symphony and Elton John's Aids Foundation. 2. Association with Ben Graham Charles company website nicely portray how he came to know Benjamin Graham. While taking a turn managing the front desk of a small brokerage firm in La Jolla, California, a young Charles Brandes met a professorial looking gentleman interested in purchasing shares of National Presto. As they spoke Charles began to recognize the man; it was Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing and mentor to Warren Buffett. His conversations and correspondences with Graham after that chance meeting solidified Charles' belief that to be a true value investor he would have to free himself from the pursuit of short-term profit making and insulate himself from the widespread "hot dot" mentality. The website has a nice video presentation on that: http://az30169.vo.msecnd.net/history1/Default.html 3. Investment Philosophy Brandes strictly follows Graham and Dodd principles as outlined in the classics - Security Analysis and The Intelligent Investor. A stickler for due diligence, Brandes believes in painstaking financial analysis to find companies with high intrinsic values trading at discounted stock prices. Like many other value-oriented firms, Charles Brandes Investment Partners has disclosed their investment strategy or philosophy: Brandes Investment Partners® is a bottom-up, Graham & Dodd, value-oriented, equity and fixed income manager. In short, the firm believes that a strategy of buying businesses at a discount to the firm's estimate of their true value has the potential to produce competitive long-term results. Brandes Investment Partners believes that a security's price and its intrinsic value often detach from one another in the short term. The firm's approach is to view a security as a small piece of a business that is for sale. Thus the firm focuses on the fundamental characteristics of a company in order to develop an estimate of its intrinsic value. Because of the volatile nature of the overall market – where sentiment can shift rapidly between sweeping optimism and overwhelming uncertainty – prices of stocks tend to fluctuate more than the intrinsic values of the companies they represent. By choosing stocks that are selling at a discount to the firm's estimates of their intrinsic business values, the firm seeks to establish a margin of safety and an opportunity for competitive performance. This combination of rational fundamental analysis and the discipline to seek to take advantage of market price irrationality enables the firm to target competitive long-term results. Besides managing money, Charles has commissioned a study to investigate the "Falling Knives" strategy, the investment axiom that catching falling knives (a stock whose price has been dropping precipitously) is like catching falling money (likely to lead to losses). Researching 1,000 companies between 1986 and 2002 whose price had fallen 60% over a twelve month period, the study found that within three years of the decline 13% of the companies went bankrupt, but despite this that the portfolio as a whole gained in value by 18% over three years. Charles has also published a book on value investing - Value Investing Today (McGraw-Hill, ISBN 0071417389). 4. Investment Performance As of 2007, Brandes' U.S. Value Equity fund has beaten the S&P 500 index for the past five, 10 and 15 years. According to the book Investment Leadership, Brandes' Global equity fund had an average return of 19.21% over the prior 20 years. Charles manages both equity- and fixed income portfolio styles at Brandes Investment Partners. The following table summarizes the performances of his equity-styles.
