IT Can't Ignore the Video Surveillance Data Explosion
I have a stake in this story as I have had to install and manage a number of security cameras as lecture capture cameras. I have all these same concerns myself even though technically it's not security video but on request lectures being video captured during a class.
Originally posted on StorageSwiss.com - The Home of Storage Switzerland:
IT professionals are simultaneously being pulled in multiple directions. For most, data center management is more like triage than a well-engineered series of processes. As a result, IT managers and CIOs are very careful about which projects they "own", which ones they advise on, and which ones they ignore. One project that is sure to cross the IT desk is storing and maintaining video surveillance data. While it may not be on the top of their list, IT could provide tremendous value to the organization if they were to own this particular project.
The Problems
Technology is revolutionizing video surveillance, overwhelming the existing infrastructure and expanding its use far beyond the original security purpose. High-resolution cameras are just one example of this technology advancement. Thanks to wireless connectivity and low cost, they can be easily deployed in large numbers. The problem is that the video they capture can be transferred…

How To Make Pizza At Home That Won't Be Horrible
Being a fan of pizza and a loyal adherent to America's Test Kitchen, I will be curious to read up more on this article. Always look for some tips and tricks that will cost my game a bit.
Originally posted on Consumerist:
(Flyinace2000) You've got all your favorite toppings assembled, the cheese is waiting to be melted and the dough is ready to go. But no matter what you do, making pizza at home can be disappointing when compared to the pies served up at restaurants. It seems so simple — so why do homemade efforts often fall so short of expectations?
Because pizza is a delicious concoction of unrivaled tastiness that sprung fully-formed from the forehead of Zeus, we wanted to get to the bottom of the difficulties facing home chefs trying to recreate restaurant pizza at home.
To do so, we went straight to the pizza pros, who say it all comes down to three basic elements of the process: Equipment, which gives restaurants a distinct advantage; the dough and ingredients both for the dough and the pizza's toppings, which are things that everyday folks can do just…

The 33 1/3 New Author Q&A: Kembrew McLeod

Tell us a bit about yourself in an extended author biography.
I'm a writer, documentary filmmaker, university professor, media prankster, spazz dancer, children's music producer, and all around man of many hats. I began writing about music over two decades ago in old-school paper 'zines, and then made the transition in 1995 to online music writing in outlets like Addicted To Noise, SonicNet, and MTV.com. It was a new frontier, and I distinctly remember having to explain to label publicists what the Interweb was. Since then, I have published five books on popular music, copyright law, and—most recently—pranks. My writing has also has appeared in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Village Voice, Slate, Salon, SPIN and Rolling Stone. Additionally, I've…

Moving to Tokyo? Real estate agent picks five best neighborhoods for single residents
I'm happy to see at the end of the article mention is made of Koiwa. Love that neighborhood.

Tokyo is a big place, both in terms of population and area, and if you're moving here from anywhere else, you might be at a bit of a loss in terms of where to look for an apartment. Obviously, a large part of that decisions is up to personal preference, but we do happen to have some advice for areas to look at if this will be your first time living alone!
These five areas were selected by a local real estate agent, so you know they must be good, right?

Starting from the students to build engaging computing courses for non-CS majors: Response to Goldweber and Walker
Prof. Mark Guzdial on the topic of designing courses and what is pedagogy vs. what is curricula. They're not the same.
Originally posted on Computing Education Blog:
Michael Goldweber and Henry Walker responded to my blog posts (here in Blog@CACM and here in this blog) in the Inroad blog (see article here). My thanks to them for taking the time to respond to me. I found their comments especially valuable in helping to see where I was making assumptions about common values, goals, and understanding. It's too easy in a blog to only get responses from people who share a common understanding (even if we violently disagree about values and goals). I found it helpful to get feedback from Dr. Goldweber and Dr. Walker with whom I don't correspond regularly.
"Pedagogy" isn't just "how to teach" for me. They argue that their articles are not about pedagogy but about what should be taught in a course that students might take to explore computer science. The page I linked to at the US Department of…

Internet privacy, funded by spooks: A brief history of the BBG
Voice of America and all those propagandist triumphalist government programs are funded by us to the tune of $725M/year. That's a lot of money.
Originally posted on PandoDaily:
For the past few months I've been covering U.S. government funding of popular Internet privacy tools like Tor, CryptoCat and Open Whisper Systems. During my reporting, one agency in particular keeps popping up: An agency with one of those really bland names that masks its wild, bizarre history: the Broadcasting Board of Governors, or BBG.
The BBG was formed in 1999 and runs on a $721 million annual budget. It reports directly to Secretary of State John Kerry and operates like a holding company for a host of Cold War-era CIA spinoffs and old school "psychological warfare" projects: Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Asia, Radio Martí, Voice of America, Radio Liberation from Bolshevism (since renamed "Radio Liberty") and a dozen other government-funded radio stations and media outlets pumping out pro-American propaganda across the globe.
Today, the Congressionally-funded federal agency is also one of the biggest backers of grassroots and open-source…

Our Japanese staff members pick the top places in Japan they'd like to visit again someday
Originally posted on RocketNews24:
Figuring out where to go during your stay in Japan can seem like an insurmountable task. For first-time visitors to the country, there are so many famous places to visit that the task of deciding becomes overwhelming. On the other hand, if you've been living in Japan for a while, you're probably tired of all the crowded, touristy places and would like to go somewhere off-the-beaten path.
To help out our readers who are struggling with this internal dilemma, we've asked three reporters from our Japanese-language RocketNews24 team to share with us the top three places in Japan they'd definitely like to visit again someday. These three have had ample opportunities to travel to various places around the country and experience the local scenes in the name of eclectic journalism, so you can think of them as seasoned experts on the matter.

Bannock is OK, chili not so much
Humanitarian requires training: health inspector
A woman who had been making and handing out bannock to Winnipeg's homeless is not in trouble -- but she can no longer hand out home-cooked soup or chili without a permit, the provincial government said Friday.
"We're not in the business of fining people who are helping the poor," said Michael LeBlanc, a manager with Manitoba Health. The provincial government is responsible for food safety in the province, including in the city of Winnipeg.
Althea Guiboche had been a one-woman food kitchen in recent weeks -- hitting the streets on 20 different occasions, feeding up to 100 people at a time. But on Thursday, she said she health officials told her she didn't have the proper training, should no longer be taking donations into her home and shouldn't be cooking out of her own kitchen.
"It's kind of crushing, a little bit," said the 38-year-old single mother of seven.
Provincial officials clarified their position at a news conference Friday. Guiboche could not be reached for reaction.
"The bannock, we're not concerned about. It's low-risk. It's the chili and soup... we don't want to make these people's lives any worse by having an accident like food poisoning," LeBlanc said.
Provincial officials have been in touch with Guiboche and reported she's teamed up with a grassroots group called Chili from the Heart, which has a permit to cook chili. She's baking her bannock and they're handing out chili, LeBlanc said.
Chili from the Heart spokeswoman Darlene Phillips said her group jumped through hoops to get the provincial permit. Holy Cross School lets them use their commercial kitchen.
Chili teamed up for the first time with Guiboche on Thursday, handing out bannock and chili on the corner of Dufferin Avenue and Main Street.
"The people would walk up with desperation in their eyes and we'd say, 'Would you like a bowl of chili? Do you want some bannock?' Their eyes would light up. And the desperation would be gone for a moment. Our hearts were so full when we left," Phillips said.
She said they'll team up with Guiboche again. "That lady's amazing. She's got next to nothing and she still finds a way to give," Phillips said.
Chili from the Heart and Guiboche both solicit donations of ingredients. A Saturday afternoon event at Neechi Commons on Main Street called Resistance/Words for the Revolution is also jumping on board for Guiboche's bannock mission.
They'll collect names of groups and individuals that want to help or offer kitchen training and donations, an organizer said.
The province also offered Guiboche training free of charge for a food-handling certificate.
Fines for violating food-inspection laws can run up to $600.
You can follow Guiboche's progress on her Facebook page Got Bannock?

DNC's Joe Biden Video Features Joe Standing With a Union Criminal
The Democrat National Committee wanted to make a nice heartwarming video telling America and convention goers how wonderful ol' "Sheriff Joe" Biden is. But, oops, one of the still photos included in the retrospective shows Biden standing chummy with a union member that was arrested for pick pocketing in 2009.
The video, titled, Vice President Joe Biden's Story, is filled with heartwarming photos of good ol' Joe with old folks, school kids, and American workers. But one worker in particular would have been best left out of the bio-video.
At about 5:17 into the video you'll see a still photo of Service Employees International Union member Marshall Clemons and Vice President, Biden. In that photo you see good ol' Joe standing next to Clemons and his wife and son. All smiles there, with Joe's arms warmly embracing the family.
Still shot from the DNC Video of Biden and the Clemons family
It's a nice family photo showing how personable Joe is. But who is this Marshall Clemons?
As it happens, Joe Biden did a little union-touting video with Mr. Clemons back in 2007. The film was called Walk a day in my shoes: Joe Biden/Marshall Clemons and was made in cooperation with the SEIU.
That film, too, was supposed to be a heartwarming tale of good ol' Joe palling around with the common worker.
Still shot of Biden and Clemons from the 2007 video
But I guess Joe didn't help Mr. Clemons make enough money at the SEIU because not long after they appeared together in the union-selling video, Clemons was arrested for stealing money out of women's purses at the Iowa State Capital.
This is a case of a union member reaching into people's pockets a bit more directly than they usually do. In 2009 an Iowa lobbyist caught Clemons reaching into and stealing wallets from the unattended bags of other lobbyists who were busy plying lawmakers at the state capital. The lobbyist alerted the Iowa state police and when they tracked Clemons down they witnessed him trying to ditch a second stolen wallet in a public bathroom. Clemons was charged with two counts of fifth degree theft.
This is the guy that the DNC thought was a good idea to show Vice President Biden paling around with? Does "Sheriff Joe" have a habit of hanging around pickpockets!

go to a doll brothel? I guess you won't get any diseases
Okay, I have to know. If different people are screwing the same doll, what are the logistics of cleaning and sterilizing all of the splooge receptacles? Or do you just put the rubber tweetie in the dishwasher on hot cycle? Do you really want to put your dip stick in somebody else's cum dumpster?
33% more than the rest. What are we doing wrong? :(
From the below link, here's a block quote that sheds some light:
"Gasoline in California costs $2.465, and the state sports the third-highest gas price in the country. State taxes add 45.39 cents to the cost of a gallon of gas, the nation's third-highest state tax level. California is essentially its own country when it comes to oil and gasoline. There is limited pipeline transportation from the oilfields in Texas and none from North Dakota. Alaska's North Slope provides much of the crude for the state's refineries but as those volumes decline crude gets to the state by rail (from Canada and North Dakota primarily) and tankers from Saudi Arabia, Ecuador and Iraq."
I avoid retailers that insist on these data-grabs to get their "discounts". Quite frequently they are marking prices up to put them "on sale" in exchange for your info and purchasing habits--or, worse, the ignis fatuus of points and coupons that are impossible to track or implement to any realizable advantage.
At most, I give out fake names, numbers, zip codes, and addresses (or leave as much blank as they will accept). Suzie Part-Timer at the register is not paid enough to care. Soon they will just go straight to our credit cards to track purchasing behavior and personal data--as if they aren't already.
On the other hand, the drought years of 2012-2014 are producing some of the tastiest cabernets and pinots out of Napa valley in years. Us Cal-liberfucks love to complain about everybody else's water usage while we drink our wine and watch the driveway get watered for the third time of the day.
Liberals are incapable of?
Answer: Leave an email record
Hillary may by a Democrat, but she is no liberal. No more than Obama is a liberal. She might qualify better as a Fascist, or at least a big govt plutocrat. I'd call her a femi-Nazi, but she's not all that feminine. Actions speak louder than emails.
California is not alone, Democrat run states tend to have the greatest inequality nationwide.
From your article: "In other words, the most economically equal communities are often the ones struggling the most to recover from the recession"
So what's your point? Urban settings have higher crime than sleepy milquetoast neighborhoods in the outlying areas?
Could be worse. Stanford gave a job to war criminal Condi Rice.
B-b-but I was told academe was the cushy enclave of liberal mooches ????
California or anywhere else unless there are two of them and they have very decent paying jobs.
Yeah, this is interesting to me. The two of us get paid twice the median of LA county (for whatever that statistic is worth), and every year we get close to a 20% DP, the house prices rise another 7-10%. We've been here 8 years now and have built up so much cash that we don't even want to dump it in a house at this point--or just buy outright when we are ready to leave CA. Of course, then there is the issue that you really need 30%, 50%, or all cash to compete on anything within reach in LA, and that's likely true for a lot of job-hub cities given the inventory shortage.
So what's their goal?
To make everyone use less water, even people in places where it rains ever other day.
They won't be happy until the populace is reduced to taking whore baths, scrubbing their flaccid nether regions with a damp wash cloth (preferably in a dark color).
John and Jone Doe shortening the shower to 7 minutes from 10 ain't gonna do jack and shit.
Your points are far more valid than anything residential customers can control; however, I notice an intriguing practice in the neighborhoods all across the Southland of watering the sidewalks, parked cars, driveways, retaining walls, and streets on a twice-a-day basis. Even in the rain. We also need a freshly washed car at all times. Curbing these things would maybe have a 3-5% impact, but it clearly demonstrates the typical Cal-liberal mindset of words speaking louder than actions.
FFS - so dumb. Who were the "Religious Fundamentalists" in 2012? Mitt Romney? Paul Ryan?
What Curious said was that fundamentalists "nominated unacceptable candidates", not that fundamentalist candidates were being nominated (*per se*). This to me is a stricter critique of the party base than the candidates themselves. It's not a secret that Mormons and evangelical protestants are a large majority Republican or Republican-leaning and -voting.
Once again economic illiteracy...
Citation please
why exactly is the state involved in marriages at all?
Inasmuch as there are tax benefits/penalties, spousal rights, and estates/trusts tied up in this stuff, the state gets itself involved.
The fact is that a successful man, only needs to see escort gals. And in 10 to 15 years, they'll be sex robots.
Rin, I get your schtick, and we can agree that the icon of the modern American woman is quite a fucked up thing to comprehend (as is that of the modern American "man"). But don't we make life even more meaningless when we have no continuity with other human beings? Just fucking a new escort/sexbot every different day for the remaining 40-60 years of our lives doesn't really add much to our human experience other than satisfying animal needs (like eating, shitting, and sleeping).
Or do you propose that men and women can't have meaningful, continuous relationships based on anything beyond sex? If so, where shall humanity be found--or this is just a construct and not even necessary, a la Neil Stephenson or Phillip Dick?
shlonged with Steely Dan
Thank you for the 'Naked Lunch' allusion.
I highly recommend these average homes.
What's crazy are the comp rentals are barely paying the 1.15% property taxes. I guess if there's no maintenance for the year, you might make a negative 1-2% on your Chinese cash. Spicy!
could be for best post of the year!
I delight in sarcasm, but I would seriously point out that this particular observation of CEO:Corporation::President:Nation is neither an epiphany nor extreme enough to warrant the qualifier of "best" or "worst" post. I view gov't as operating with a different agenda than a corporation (ideally, anyway). Would you want a president to run a country strictly for the profit of executive management (congress) and the investors (lobbyists)? Sounds like we already have that, albeit incompetently.
Doesn't matter. Prices are going up.
I work in supply chain and can tell you this is actually a pretty big deal. There are retailers that rely on seasonal goods that are now stranded with old fall/winter merchandise and not enough spring merchandise to stay in business. And just generally being starved of inventory and needing replenishment--once you screw up a retailer's receipt flow, the sales effect dominoes quickly. This actually started back in November, seemed to be improving, and got immediately worse in January. This is also trickling down to the freighters that come to pick up goods, that can't get paid unladen. Vessels are to the point of dumping containers just to get out of the port, so there is no tracking and people can't find their containers. I was told Wal Mart actually sent agents down to the port to "negotiate" for their containers. The last two weeks, the management types I know in the retail world are starting to see YoY decreases in sales--but it's not definitive if this is just a depressed consumer that wasn't going to be spending, anyway, or if it's a direct result of the shortage of inventory.
I can still find a 3/2 railroad apt on a third floor walk up in the Bronx or on Steinway St for $1150. Steps away from coke den, inner city garbage processing facility, and crotchless hookers.
The attraction of LA is indeed mystifying.
The weather, man, THE WEATHER!!!
Seriously. There's a moment in every conversation with people you meet in LA where the ranting begins, but always concluded by the atoning Amen of, "But the Weather." Technically we also have lots of diverse terrain in an easily reachable geographic radius, for the beachy/outdoorsy types.
The numbers may be somewhat skewed because of income disparity within LA. There are two groups of people one on the coast (west side) and one inland.
This is true and a very good point; however, keep in mind that the rents (and real estate) in the Inland Empire are much lower than coastal LA, so it's essentially a wash. I would get paid more to do my same job in NYC, and the rents out there are equivalent to the shee-shee parts of LA, plus no need for a car (+expenses), so I would still agree that rents are out of whack with income in LA.
Also, it's very easy to be homeless/live on welfare in LA because of the great weather and gov't teet programs a'plenty.
liberals in California, since Disney
True. But Orange County is ironically the mostly heavily Republican in California.
Fair enough maybe a windfall for the used car market. O's Cash for clunker killed it because of O's infinite wisdom in destroying the used cars.
Gawd what a stupid fuck.
Cash for clunkers was a dopey scam, but it didn't really take a lot of actual reliable transportation out of circulation unless you consider SUVs, pick ups, Jeeps, and Ford/Dodge minivans as great transportation vehicles. Here's what was the bulk of clunkered cars:
1. Ford Explorer 4WD
2. Ford F150 Pickup 2WD
3. Jeep Grand Cherokee 4WD
4. Jeep Cherokee 4WD
5. Ford Explorer 2WD
6. Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan
7. Chevrolet Blazer 4WD
8. Ford F-150 Pickup 4WD
9. Chevrolet C1500 Pickup 2WD
10. Ford Windstar
This list is a lot of Woof! Woof!
Only 690,000 cars were taken out of circulation. Compare that to how many used cars are sold on a yearly basis--it's less than 2% of inventory taken out of the market for any given year:
�2000: 41,620,429
�2001: 42,624,116
�2002: 43,025,087
�2003: 43,571,652
�2004: 42,706,103
�2005: 44,138,263
�2006: 42,565,544
�2007: 41,418,561
�2008: 36,530,404
�2009: 35,589,149
So the program had little effect in taking good, reliable, entry-level transportation out of the market place. 2% is horse puckey, and a bunch of '90s SUVs are not going to be missed.
The program had little effect, period. What was really awful is these cars got shredded instead of recycled, and so was probably a net loss to environmental objectives.
As a Army retiree I assure you they are not all that generous
I wonder the differences. My grandfather retired from Eglin as an Air Force mechanic of 42 years and nets about $4000/mo. Mind you, he paid of his house years ago and lives in a rural enclave with cheap cost of living, so that is a ballin' pension for dear old granddad.

Over 600 Palestinian structures in the occupied West Bank were demolished in 2013 - the highest rate in five years.
Many believe Israel is trying to change the demographics of the West Bank.

text: What kind of apple do you use when making an apple pie? I have always used 5-6 Granny Smith apples, but I'm rethinking this choice because sometimes the apples are still a little hard, while the crust could not be baked any longer or it would be burnt. Do you use a mixture of several kinds of apples?

WES GOES WEST: From the moment New York-based designer Wes Gordon touched down in Los Angeles on Monday, his trip was off to an extraordinary start. "I landed in L.A. and had missed calls from Steven Kolb, the chief executive of the CFDA, which is kind of a scary missed call to have. So I called him back, and he let me know," said the Central Saint Martins graduate of the moment he learned he was a CFDA Fashion Award nominee. Gordon has been nominated for the Swarovski Award for Womenswear. "Doing runway versus presentations is further incentive to articulate who your woman is," said Gordon, who credits his nomination in part to his decision to shift strategy to runway in the last two seasons. And with a Wes Gordon for Manolo Blahnik collaboration already to his name, Gordon doesn't rule out the possibility of his own accessories line in the future. He added that his is a small private company and he has no plans to change that.
Holding court at Neiman Marcus Beverly Hills before a personal appearance and presentation hosted by The Blonde & The Brunette blogger and NJ Goldston, ceo of branding agency The UXB, Gordon reflected on his whirlwind trip to the West Coast. A private dinner held Tuesday night on his behalf at the Hancock Park home of interior designer and stylist Estee Stanley, alongside jewelry designer (and 2012 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund runner-up) Jennifer Meyer Maguire, and stylist Jamie Schneider, quickly turned into a celebration for the newly minted CFDA nominee, who feted the occasion with Rachel Zoe, Nicole Richie and Molly Sims.
