Interviews about Facebook
Facebook reveals the logic behind its forced Messenger split
Facebook annoyed and puzzled many people last year when it forced them to download its Messenger app for chats. Its reasons for doing so are now clearer: Messenger is becoming a beast of an app, with its own links to outside businesses and software apart from Facebook's main site.
At Facebook, a sharpening focus on virtual reality
In 10 years, there may be no need to check Facebook's site to see what that friend overseas is up to. You might just pick up a pair of goggles, reach out and hold her hand at her birthday party.
Facebook speeds iPhone app dev wih React Native
For Web developers, making the jump to building full-fledged smartphone apps can be daunting. Facebook could ease the transition with a newly open-sourced framework its engineers developed to build apps for Apple devices.
Can Facebook cement its role as a platform provider?
"But it won't be easy - every major player from Google to Amazon to Apple understands this and is making its own play."
Tech companies call on US to end bulk collection of metadata
A slew of tech companies have joined privacy groups in calling for the U.S. government to reform its surveillance practices.
Will embedded and middleware help save Blackberry?
The financial news for Blackberry is potentially bad this week, as it has been for most of the past few years. Some analysts are predicting that the Canadian company will post losses of as much as 7 cents per share, though the consensus seems to be closer to 3 cents. If that happens, it'll be Blackberry's fourth quarter out of the last five to show a decline.
Facebook's iOS UI development framework goes open source

Features about Facebook
You are responsible for your own Internet privacy
Bill Clinton's run for presidency nearly derailed when rumors surfaced that he had smoked marijuana during his time in England. In an effort to control the damage, Clinton admitted that he indeed experimented with the illegal drug but "didn't inhale." Imagine how history might have changed if a video of a glassy-eyed Clinton with a joint between his lips had shown up on Youtube (which, of course, didn't exist at the time).
OpenDaylight Executive Director spells out where this open source SDN efforts stands
The Open Networking Foundation (ONF) is the public face of the Software Defined Networking movement, spelling out requirements and defining standards. The group's board includes Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Microsoft and Goldman Sachs on the data center side, and Verizon, Deutsche Telekom and NTT Communications on the service provider side. Additionally, there are close to 150 members, from global telcos to startups. To get a sense of where the movement stands, Network World Editor in Chief John Dix tracked down ONF Executive Director Dan Pitt, who spent 20 years developing network architecture, technology, standards, and products at IBM Networking Systems, Hewlett Packard and Bay Networks.
5 ways to use virtual reality in the enterprise
With Facebook executives focusing so much of their annual F8 developers conference on virtual reality, people are wondering how the technology will affect gaming and social networking.
Could Facebook be your next phone company?
This vendor-written tech primer has been edited by Network World to eliminate product promotion, but readers should note it will likely favor the submitter's approach.
Will network disaggregation play in the enterprise?
Disaggregation seems to be all the rage in networking these days.
How machine learning ate Microsoft
At the Strata big data conference yesterday, Microsoft let the world know its Azure Machine Learning offering was generally available to developers. This may come as a surprise. Microsoft? Isn't machine learning the province of Google or Facebook or innumerable hot startups?
Debunking the myths about scale-up architectures
This vendor-written tech primer has been edited by Network World to eliminate product promotion, but readers should note it will likely favor the submitter's approach.
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's the rebirth of satellite Internet
SpaceX, Facebook, Virgin Galactic and Google have all announced major initiatives that would help connect the world -- especially developing nations -- to the Internet. But the next thing in worldwide connectivity isn't going to be in underground cables, so much as it will be over your head. It starts with satellites, but it gets a lot weirder.
Displaced IT workers are being silenced
A major problem with the H-1B debate is the absence of displaced IT workers in news media accounts. Much of the reporting is one-sided -- and there's a reason for this.
Privacy is the new killer app
A funny thing is happening in the wake of the Edward Snowden NSA revelations, the infamous iCloud hack of celebrity nude photos, and the hit parade of customer data breaches at Target, Home Depot and the U.S. Postal Service. If it's not the government looking at your data, it's bored, lonely teenagers from the Internet or credit card fraudsters.

text: I haven't read all the replies, but here is my 2 cents worth: make a decision that you will make this trip as cost effective as possible OR decide that you deserve a treat. And take it from there. You will never be able to justify the cost of the YC - don't even bother trying. It's expensive as heck, plain and simple. But there is nothing wrong in treating yourself a little, once in a while. You don't have to justify the cost to anyone but yourself, and if you feel you've earned the right to pamper yourself a little - do it!!! Having said that - be prepared for the outcome. You will never, ever, ever want to stay in a value or moderate hotel again! Staying at the YC or BW or BC is AWESOME!!!

The Rock returned to host Saturday Night Live last night to reprise his role as Rock Obama, the hulk-esque alter ego of President Barak Obama.
When the President loses his temper in a meeting with his House Speaker John Boenher (Taran Killam) and Texas Senator and 2016 presidential candidate Ted Cruz (Bobby Moynihan) who are distinctly ruing the government, he transforms into Rock Obama for some good ass kicking. The "She Rock Obama" also makes her first debut appearance to help rip some limbs off. Watch it above.

Nyack College Arts and Sciences News
Dr. Kim Huster presents TESOL paper
Dr. Kimberli Huster, Director of ESL, presented a paper at the New York State TESOL Annual Conference on Friday, October 28, in Melville, NY.
Dr. Huster's paper is entitled "Biliterate Voices: Hmong Women's Reflections on their U.S. Educational Experiences." This paper is based on a narrative inquiry study conducted with thirteen Hmong women in a small, private university and will include vignettes of their educational experiences from elementary school through college. Using the words of the women themselves, their stories will elucidate the marginalization of minority populations in the U.S. educational system. Theories will be presented regarding the background of these marginalizing experiences and their effects on literacy and language development.

The 100% MOC Solution takes away the pain and hassle of your MOC requirements for 3 long years. The next time you have to worry about MOC could be 3 long years away! And even then, you have the option to re-up for 3 more years.What You Get with The 100% MOC Solution:

commercial property for rent or lease in Vintondale (PA), Industrial Space For Lease.
Vintondale commercial real estate for lease, rent, and leased investments.
Find Vintondale industrial buildings for lease, retail rentals, & Vintondale shops. Locate a Vintondale warehouse lease and any real estate for lease / investment, including industrial properties to rent and sale.
As companies grow they must either relocate and sometimes extend their existing lease, and as information technology advances, they inescapably have to deal with landlords with far more experience with commercial properties. The absence of defining the lease requirements at an early stage can lead to confusion and time delays. Employing an experienced Vintondale broker will ensure business owners being made aware of all the areas available in a local market and remove much of the unnecessary issues.

He remains on the background so you can enjoy your time at the pool with the most amazing view. Breakfast is basic but fine for most i guess. We enjoyed the fact that we were even allowed to use a fridge and bbq our own stuff near the pool
Herve's farm and bed and breakfast are in a beautiful, rather remote location surrounded by vineyards and other farmland. He was nice, very flexible about check-in and check-out and gave us a quick tour, and kindly let us come back later in the afternoon after we had checked out to swim in the gorgeous pool, which was really a highlight of our trip. There are comfy lounges by the pool, too. The room is in an old building so it's a bit rustic with low ceilings. It got a bit hot with no a/c but it is so quiet that leaving window open was no problem. There are no locks on the doors. Although we didn't feel unsafe, some other people staying there did walk in on us sleeping by mistake! Breakfast was nice-- hot milk in a thermos for coffee/tea and a bunch of fresh baguettes, butter, jam, and grapes I assume from his vineyard. It's a farm in rural Provence, so if you don't expect too much glamour, you'll really enjoy staying here.
Nous avons été très bien accueilli par Hervé. Endroit idéal pour faire une halte détente en bord de piscine. Les alentours sont magnifiques.
Séjour sympathique à Mazan.C'est très belle maison.J´ai apprécié la grande piscine avec une belle vue.J'ai aimé son dîner.Merci beaucoup!
Although we only spent one night in Mazan, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Though a tad shy, Herve was a very nice host who provided us with a clean and cosy room and a generous French breakfast. The view of the surrounding vineyards from the swimming pool was worth the stay alone.
Endroit sympa, mais peu entretenu... des toiles d'araignées et poussière partout, moisissure dans la douche, porte de douche qui tombe (les gosses n'ont pas voulu se doucher). Belle piscine par contre, bravo ! Petit déjeuner très basique, avec même de la moisissure dans la confiture... Bref un endroit qui pourrait être sympa au milieu des vignes mais que je ne recommande pas.
un soucis informatique nous a poser une preparation imposssible
desole des consequences inherantes a ce loupe
C'était très agréable et plutôt calme malgré le chant du coq ! Très gentil hôte et chouette petit déjeuner!
bonjour oui je fais un tarif a 300 euros les 6 nuits pour 2 personnes petit dejeuner inclusa part le 12 juillet pour l instant j ai de la disponibilite cet ete
This AirBnB is located in a gorgeous area surrounded by vineyards and located just southeast of Gigondas and Vacqueyras and east of the larger cities/towns of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Avignon, and Orange. Upon arrival, the listing was not the easiest to find, having had to retrace ourselves several times and ask pedestrians in Mazan the direction of the street on which the AirBnB is listed. There property holds a country vibe with the owner having several chickens and bantams as well as several cats. The rooms in which our group stayed were well prepared and comfortable. Hot water was a constant while showering and one felt quite comfortable on the premise. A large breakfast was pleasantly found the next morning with hot milk, coffee, cocoa, several baguettes, apricot marmalade, butter, apples, and oranges. A very nice surprise was an orange juicer, as well, that had been provided with which one could make freshly squeezed orange juice. Herve provided a map of the area which proved to be helpful. Our party was desperately needing Wifi or an internet connection. There were two signals, one with no password which did not function, and the second with a secured password which, we were told, did not require the said password. Frustratingly, no internet connection was acquired. As well, there was confusion in billing for the number of our party. Upon booking, it was believed there would be a flat fee for the one night. In reality, due to needing one more bed, we ended up having to pay more.
Overall, I recommend this AirBnB for its location and nice rooms, comfortable beds, bathrooms, and breakfast.
This is an okay place to stay in Mazan. It's not a fancy hotel - you are definitely staying on a farm. The hosts were nice and generous. The area and yard weren't immaculately kept, but since it's the "farm experience", it didn't matter a lot to us. We had a great time in the surrounding area!

How Much Is Enough?

Who Is Winning The War On Poverty?
This Jan. 8 marks the 50th anniversary of former President Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty, which left a checkered legacy after 1960s policies to combat growing poverty. We thought this marked an appropriate time to take stock of how local communities are doing.
Last November, we asked you to complete our survey and tell us what it means to you to make ends meet in South Florida to kick off a project called How Much Is Enough?
The most recent dialogue about our country's poor was propelled to the national stage in December with dozens of worker walkouts, many recipients of minimum wages. They called for an increase to that minimum and estimated what a livable wage would be.
But we wanted to step back. Before we can get a grasp on what a living wage would be, we were curious about what we think a wage should pay for -- what does "enough" mean? So throughout January, we'll dig into three main aspects of life that came from your responses: housing, transportation and food.
Every week, we'll bring you a radio feature one of those topics, and at the end of the month, we'll share with you our final estimate of what is "enough," determined by our research and what you have told us.
The map below shows the median household income based on the most recent Census data. Check out the incredible range on Miami Beach: from $13,000 to $203,000. Also interesting to note is the jump from an income of $78,000 to just under $12,000 across 74th Street in Doral/Miami Gardens.
Play around with it and tell us what you see. Do you fall below or above the median income in your area?
Use the hashtag #HowMuchIsEnough to continue a dialog on Twitter or Instagram.

Audio Electronics at CES
Having the right pair of headphones is only half the battle when it comes to achieving good sound. Much like a typical audio system that you'd have around the room, the speaker itself is only one component of the system – you also need a quality audio source as well as some sort of amplifier to boost the signal. Most of the headphones that DJs and consumers will buy already have a built in amp to drive the speakers, so we tend to take this for granted. There is also the fact that less expensive headphones will only distort the signal well above our listening needs, so we will never feel like they aren't powerful enough.
The only problem that exists with a good pair of headphones is when the signal is split between two or more pairs. The signal is naturally weaker without some sort of external boosting of the source. This is where headphone amplifiers come into play. Like most amps, there are lower end options that will only cost you're a few hundred dollars, but there are also professional grade solutions that can be in the thousands of dollars. Audio Electronics Nighthawk headphone amplifier uses solid state components and will run you just over one grand.

Article: Methods and processes for the reanalysis of the NINDS tissue plasminogen activator for acute ischemic stroke treatment trial[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Treatment group imbalances in baseline stroke severity in the NINDS intravenous t-PA for acute stroke treatment trial led to controversy regarding the efficacy of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. Describe the steps used to independently re-evaluate this trial. NIH appointed an independent multidisciplinary committee that gained access to the original data. We undertook analyses of t-PA efficacy accounting for this imbalance, as well as analyses to identify subgroups that experienced additional harm or benefit from t-PA. Analyses of time from stroke onset to treatment (OTT), blood pressure, and intracerebral hemorrhage are given as illustrations. Despite subgroup imbalances in baseline stroke severity, when t-PA was administered to acute ischemic stroke patients according to study protocol, there was a statistically significant and clinically important benefit of t-PA treatment resulting in a higher likelihood of having a favorable clinical outcome at 3 months. Moreover, we were unable to identify subgroups of patients between which t-PA treatment effect differed, albeit these analyses had low power. These data failed to support the NINDS investigators' conclusion that effect of t-PA therapy diminished with increasing values of OTT within the protocol-specified 3 h time limit. In addition, the blood pressure measurements were highly variable and inconsistently determined so as to be too unreliable for inclusion in analysis. With new NIH requirements for data-sharing, the frequency of re-analysis of clinical trial data may increase substantially. This re-evaluation provides a blueprint for future re-evaluations of other trials. These best practices include re-analysis of the study data, after suitable replication, by an independent multidisciplinary committee, including a skilled statistical programmer analyst. Primary investigators should address significant errors determined in such re-analyses.Clinical Trials 02/2008; 5(4):308-15. DOI:10.1177/1740774508094404 · 1.94 Impact Factor

Article: Findings from the reanalysis of the NINDS tissue plasminogen activator for acute ischemic stroke treatment trial.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Following publication of concerns about the results of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) in acute stroke treatment trial, NINDS commissioned an independent committee "to address whether there is concern that eligible stroke patients may not benefit from t-PA given according to the protocol used in the trials and, whether the subgroup imbalance (in baseline stroke severity) invalidates the entire trial." The original NINDS trial data were reanalyzed to assess the t-PA treatment effect, the effect of the baseline imbalance in stroke severity between the treatment groups on the t-PA treatment effect, and whether subgroups of patients did not benefit from receiving t-PA. A clinically important and statistically significant benefit of t-PA therapy was identified despite subgroup imbalances in baseline stroke severity and an increased incidence of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage in t-PA treated patients. The adjusted t-PA to placebo odds ratio (OR) of a favorable outcome was 2.1 (95% CI, 1.5 to 2.9). Although these exploratory analyses found no statistical evidence that the t-PA treatment effect differed among patient subgroups, the study was not powered to detect subgroup treatment differences. These findings support the use of t-PA to treat patients with acute ischemic stroke within 3 hours of onset under the NINDS t-PA trial protocol. Health professionals should work collaboratively to develop guidelines to ensure appropriate use of t-PA in acute ischemic stroke patients.Stroke 11/2004; 35(10):2418-24.

ABSTRACT: In the United States, 700,000 strokes, responsible for 165,000 deaths, occur each year. Worldwide, stroke is the 2nd leading cause of death. Stroke is a major health problem; and as the population ages, its significance will grow. This paper reviews the epidemiology of stroke, the identification of modifiable risk factors, and some of the options for intervention that can reduce stroke-related mortality and morbidity. Though the diagnosis and care of stroke patients has improved, mortality resultant from stroke remains significant, with only 50% 5-year survival in some clinical studies. The risk of stroke following a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or initial stroke is also significant-approximately 30% following either event. Stroke severity at onset and patient age are the most important factors for predicting prognosis. Stroke prevention focuses on management of the traditional cardiovascular risk factors especially control of blood pressure and smoking cessation. The role of diabetes and lipid control in stroke prevention continues to be studied. The optimum use of anticoagulation to reduce stroke risk has been explored by the Stroke in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation (SPAF) studies. Carotid endarterectomy is effective in stroke prevention for those with symptomatic carotid obstruction of 70%, but its role in other scenarios is less certain. Antiplatelet drugs continue to be an important therapy for the prevention of recurrent stroke. Centralized stroke centers that specialize in stroke diagnosis and care along with rapidly rendering appropriate treatment can improve mortality and morbidity of stroke by 20%.Journal of insurance medicine (New York, N.Y.) 02/2004; 36(2):143-52.
