Only a handful of surviving publishers predate Wiley. The short list of venerable publishers includes Longman (1744); Aubanel (1744); Editions Lemoine (1772); Encyclopedia Britannica (1768); United Methodist Publishing House (1789), Old Farmer's Almanac (1792); Taylor & Francis (1798), and Thomas Nelson (1802).
back to topThomas Jefferson was president the year that Wiley was founded. While there have been 41 U.S. Presidents since 1807, there have only been 10 Wiley Presidents, including William J. Pesce, the current Wiley President & Chief Executive Officer.
back to topBefore the Wileys went into publishing, they were distillers. The first John Wiley (1720-1760), a sea captain who came to America from Scotland, made his living in New York as a distiller. His son, John (Jack) Wiley, was also a distiller. Jack's son, Charles, strayed from the family business and opened a print shop at 6 Reade Street in lower Manhattan in 1807.
back to topJohn "Jack" Wiley, father of the Company's founder, was a Revolutionary War patriot and brigade-major, who after blowing a whistle on the privateering of army supplies became the Commissary of Purchases for New York in 1780. That proved an opportune position for a merchant-turned-soldier who once claimed that he thought himself "duty-bound to even spare the coat off my back to supply the necessities of the brave soldier who at the risk of life and health nobly steps forth to defend our Glorious Cause."
back to topThree-quarters of Americans could read at the time when Charles Wiley opened his shop. About 75 to 90 percent of Americans, depending on time and place, were literate enough to read the Bible, and so were also able to read books and newspapers. Many Americans owned books outright. The wealthiest among them owned impressive libraries. Most famous was Thomas Jefferson's collection of 6,487 volumes, which would become the nucleus for the Library of Congress, but less exalted citizens, too, bought books and presumably read them.
back to topThe Company's earliest surviving book was published in 1812. Charles printed William Ballantine's legal treatise on the statute of limitations.
back to topCharles Wiley first collaborated with Washington Irving in 1813, when he printed his biographical sketches of American naval heroes in The Analectic Magazine. Wiley went on to publish Irving's The Sketch-book of Geoffrey Crayon in 1819, offering his tale, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, to an American audience for the first time.
back to topThe back room of Charles Wiley's store was known to the New York literati as the "Den," after it became the ultimate meeting place where sundry poets and philosophers loitered about and editors like Charles made friends with the people they wanted to publish. Charles was the only publisher invited to membership in James Fenimore Cooper's famous Bread and Cheese Club, a direct outgrowth of Wiley's literary den that also included James Kirke Paulding and Washington Irving.
back to topIn the 19th Century Wiley moved with the times – from publishing literature to books of technology. During the Second Industrial Revolution, railroads, steamships, and the telegraph moved goods and information many times faster than ever before. Schools and libraries flourished, and Americans were overwhelmingly, and increasingly, literate. During this Golden Age of technology and commerce, Wiley cast off the publishing of literature and fixed its future on publishing useful knowledge.
back to topThomas Edison, the "Wizard of Menlo Park," held William H. Wiley in high regard… A superstar of the Gilded Age, Thomas Edison was a prolific inventor whose three greatest claims—the incandescent light bulb, the dynamo, and the phonograph—changed the lives of millions and spurred on generations of inventors. Edison knew "the Major" well, and recommended him glowingly for the position of Commissioner General of the United States at the Paris International Exposition of 1900.
back to topThe 7th generation of the Wiley family is now working at the Company. In 1807, Charles Wiley opened a bookshop in New York City. His son and Company namesake, John Wiley, took over 19 years later. John's sons, William H. and Charles Wiley, succeeded their father. Later, their nephew Edward Hamilton, and Charles's son, William O. Wiley, assumed leadership. Cousin Bradford Wiley took the helm in 1956, and his three children—daughter Deborah and sons Bradford II and Peter Booth Wiley—all followed him into the Company. Bradford II succeeded his father as Chairman of the Board in 1993, and continues on as a Director; Peter took over as Chairman in 2002. Deborah is Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications, and Jesse Wiley, Peter's son and a 7th generation Wiley family member, now also works at Wiley.
back to top1914: Wiley helps Americans clean up their act. The bestselling 1914 Wiley Pocketbook The Cost of Cleanness, by Ellen H. Richards, focused on the scourge of humanity: dirt. The foremost female industrial and environmental chemist in the U.S. of her day, Richards was known for her investigation of "sanitary science," pioneered the field of home economics, and was the first woman admitted to M.I.T and its first female instructor.
back to topOh, you mean that kind of engineer... While prior to the Civil War there were only six engineering schools in the U.S., the Second Industrial Revolution created an insatiable demand for engineers. By 1880 there were 85 engineering schools in the U.S., and 40 years later, 126—fuelling the demand for respected learning materials, and generating research and discoveries for publication. As the body of engineering knowledge grew, so did the need to publish it.
back to topIn the 1920s, Wiley workers took an exercise and deep-breathing break every afternoon. This was a custom later supplanted by the coffee break. Today, colleagues unwind with yoga, aerobics, kickboxing, soccer, and softball.
back to topWileys battle south of the border, and beyond. In his early years, Wiley President Edward Hamilton served in the U.S. military under General John "Black Jack" Pershing, tracking the bandit Pancho Villa into Mexico in 1916, and fighting in World War I as a forward artillery observer on the Western Front, where he was briefly captured. His uncle, William H. Wiley, the "Major", was a respected Civil War veteran, awarded the rank of major for gallantry.
back to topWhat Wiley product is as important to architects as a pencil? In 1932, Wiley published the first edition of Architectural Graphic Standards. "Every architect loves it, wears it out, and keeps it within arm's length," said Philip C. Johnson, the international style pioneer and architect of The Glass House, New Canaan, CT. "I have always considered my Graphic Standards as important in design as is my pencil." Sales concur; In 75 years, over 1 million copies of this indispensable volume have been sold.
back to topDid Rosie the Riveter read Wiley? During World War II, technical know-how was essential to victory. Wiley's knowledge publishing delivered the latest on everything from aircraft, ship, and auto repair to bridge building, water purification, and nuclear physics. On the home front, Wiley textbooks and references trained thousands of engineers, scientists, managers in military universities, and civilian workers.
back to topOver the years, Wiley has weathered boom and bust alike. While the 1920s U.S. economy roared and the 1930s economy went bust, it had little impact on Wiley or the growing demand for useful knowledge. Wiley first posted $1 million in sales in the year of the Great Crash, $2 million by the time of Pearl Harbor, and over $5 million by the time the GIs came home and—courtesy of Uncle Sam—headed off to college, where they read our textbooks.

Do We Need Social Media Education in Schools Now?
When I was a junior in high school, my U.S. History teacher was a former government archivist. His teaching style was as dry as unbuttered toast, and his teaching methods were challenging. Memorization. As long as you could recite every important person, date, battle, document signing, and benchmark law, you were an ace. He was a classic example of education without learning. The recitation of information without an understanding of its importance is not education. It's an exercise in data.
The recent story of Manti Te'o is a perfect example of education without learning. He knew how to use social media, but didn't understand its power. Have we failed the next generation by equipping them with all the bells and whistles to get connected without teaching them how to use those tools responsibly?
Cons have been around as long as time. Should we start with the story of Jacob fooling his blind father by covering his arms with animal hair to steal the family blessing? We teach our children not to take candy from strangers, but we buy them IPhones that give those same strangers unfiltered and unsupervised access to their private worlds.
Hoaxes are not new, but the social media tools we use have accelerated the speed and the space they can operate in before being detected. Schools are jumping on the social media bandwagon. The blogosphere is filled with articles showing elementary, high schools, and colleges how to use social media effectively. We all want to be social, but are we missing the inherent risks?
We don't know if the facts of the Manti Te'o hoax will ever be known. But it doesn't matter. He is not the first student-athlete to be the victim of an online hoax and he will not be the last. This blow-by-blow account by a former University of South Carolina pitcher gives us eerie insight into the emotional roller coaster of such catfishing schemes. Some think that many of these schemes go unreported simply due to embarrassment. What are the bigger lessons?
There is an urgent need to educate students at all levels on the responsible use of social media. It's time to help students navigate this unfiltered world of anonymous faces. When searching for a curriculum for social media education, make sure you pay attention to these critical points:
- Find a curriculum that addresses the concept of fraud filters as well as privacy. Social media is an unfiltered stream. Instead of just blocking access to social platforms or punishing bad behavior, teach students how to implement filters on their social channels. Filters can be tools or guidelines, but mostly they are a checklist of behaviors that help students protect their reputation and well being. In this post, Huffington Post tech officer John Pavley lists a few suggestions that may help social users detect fraud.
- Make sure students are educated on the latest changes in platform privacy settings. Even though a one-time workshop on the responsible use of social media is a good first step, follow-up is essential. Just like the software updates that pop up on your computer screen, privacy settings on social media platforms change frequently. Unfortunately, Facebook won't send out an update every time they make a change that affects your privacy settings. And history shows that when social media channels make any changes to their platform, they always default the privacy settings associated with the change to the most public use.
- Alert students, parents, coaches, and faculty to new applications that are dangerous. New social media applications emerge daily. Do you know what applications are on your students' phones? Just recently I sent out a warning about a new application called Chirp that allows a user to send out a picture via signal to anyone in the vicinity with the same application. No filters. See their terms of use here and pay attention to the last paragraph. Applications like this one purport a savvy business use of sharing documents, but their application for privacy is deathly. Snapchat is another dangerous application that is catching on like wildfire with the younger crowd. It's popularity is driven by the adrenaline of taking risks.
- Make sure to show the good, the bad, and the ugly. Social media is a path to many goals. It's important for students to hear and see the success stories as well as screenshots of the horror stories. Shame is not as good of a motivator as reward. Look for people who are doing it right. You can start with the University of Washington's preferred athlete program. They are training selected student-athletes to represent the department in their personal Twitter feeds, and then promoting their tweets. Find students who are using their social media channels to build their reputations and showcase their channels.
- Find a facilitator/provider that specializes in education, not just tools. This is not a job for social media marketers (no offense). Teaching students how to set their privacy levels on applications is only the starting line, not the finish line. The NCAA provides a list of recommended educators in their speaker registry. Find one that can educate your staff as well as your students. My agency has a specific curriculum workshop aimed at responsible use called Practice Safe Social. If you live in the south, I have a colleague at Northwestern State in Louisiana (a former sports information director, like myself) that is providing the training as well. Please contact me for more information on how you can choose a good trainer.
Is it time for social media responsible use education in our schools? Certainly in our collegiate athletic departments…and soon. What are your thoughts? Please keep the conversation going in the comments.

As a teacher, I already see problems with social media with my 10 year olds. It's about understanding perspective and the difference between communicating via a device and communicating face-to-face. My pupils need to learn how to respond to messages without assuming that their interpretation of a message might not be what was intended by the sender.
I intend to create lessons on understanding how to interpret and deal with messages via phones, Facebook, XBox, Nintendo etc because my pupils are struggling to cope.

Children are being given iphones and have access to the freedom that it provides at an earlier age every year. I wonder whose responsibility is it to teach the child about the repercussions, dangers, and evils that they are being exposed to. This article presents one solution by suggesting that students be educated in schools about social media. I agree with this suggestion, but also wonder if it is more of the parents' job to educate their children and monitor the apps they download and the way they use social media, or maybe the social media industry's job to express their privacy settings in simple terms and make sure people are reading them.
One theory is that it is not the children who need to be educated on the dangers, but the parents. At the very young age that children are starting to use social media, the threat of identity theft and other menacing consequences may seem unfathomable to them. As a parent who is openly exposing their children to this online world, it is their responsibility to know of the sites their kids are on and educate them about the faults in them. Maybe the education of social media sites doesn't belong in middle schools or high schools, but instead should be offered to parents on how to teach their children make sure they stay safe.
Another thought is that the blame should lie on the industry, where privacy settings are difficult to understand and sometimes misleading. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) posted an article about their view of the privacy policies of one social media website and the deception it demonstrates. In the past, EPIC, " filed two complaints with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) focusing on Facebook's unfair and deceptive trade practice of sharing of user information with the public and with third-party application developers" (epic.org/privacy/socialnet/). Maybe the real culprits of this false trust people have in their privacy online are these websites with misleading policies. Time spent educating children or adults could be spared if the social media industry did their part.
I also believe that social media sites should do a better job at forcing people to read their privacy policies. Research shows that "many people skip over the privacy policy when joining a social network" because "most privacy policies are long and difficult to understand" (privacyrights.org/social-networking-privacy). These sites are making it increasingly easy to sign up, as well as increasingly easy to skip over privacy policies and settings. I think the websites should be more forceful with their approach, possibly by making people take a tutorial before signing up or also to remind them more frequently of changing policies and the consequences of them. Which solution is the best for maintaining the safety of the next generation is unknown, but I agree that the urgency to educate people about social media is escalating.

I think you guys are both on the same page, just coming from different angles. I think part of Bradly's point, Stephen, is that the schools are already addressing some of these issues: bulllying, stalking, etc., but kind of ignoring one of the main media that encourages this behavior. Again, it's not necessarily about the technology itself, but learning how to manage the technology for kids that really never get any instruction. Here's a great article from Mashable that appeared the other day that continues the discussion, in case you missed it. http://mashable.com/2013/01/18/digital-natives-lessons-in-social-media/
Jan 23 Posted 2 years ago
Yes Kent, we do have speech classes here--still required in many high school curriculums, but not all. Nothing like Dale Carnegie. Subjects that have to do with relationships are kind of taboo. But, anti-bullying education is very prevalent in our schools. Also, many schools are starting to adopt social media education. Here's an example of a website that sponsors a curriculum (free) used in many schools including the New York City school district, I believe. http://www.commonsensemedia.org/educators/curriculum
Jan 23 Posted 2 years ago
You've entirely miss-understood me Bradly! I obviously was not saying that social media is the same as the telephone, that would be very stupid.
I was relating the revolutionary effect the telephone had on commutations compared to previous communication methods at the time, this is similar to how the internet and social media has revolutionised modern communication. If you think how different the telephone was to the telegraph, that was my point Bradly.
People need to understand the consequences of their actions in life, not just on the internet. That is what people should be taught.
Jan 22 Posted 2 years ago
Bradly-Thanks for the comments. I am in 100% agreement. It's about reputation, not the technology. Thanks for weighing in.
Jan 22 Posted 2 years ago
Hi Stephen -- I'd just say that social media is completely different from the telephone. Can you do a Google search for telephone calls that you made when you were 14-years-old? Were you phone calls posted for everyone in the world to hear? Generally speaking, the consequences of what you said on a telephone don't even compare to the consequences of what you say via social media. Some of this stuff never goes away. Judging by what some youngsters are posting, it's clear that many don't grasp the consequences.
Jan 22 Posted 2 years ago
Chris, this is a great article, and I agree that responsible use of social media should be taught in schools. I don't see how social media is different from many other subjects in terms of utility. It's not going to go away anytime soon, and kids are going to have to know how to use them beyond just chatting with friends.
Social media for most is about building a reputation. It's about networking. It's about self-marketing. I don't think most kids understand these concepts, especially ones who are young. The privacy issues you mention are extremely important because so many don't realize that what they post to their Facebook accounts or Twitter accounts may never go away.
Jan 22 Posted 2 years ago
Hi Stephen, Not sure that techonology is creating naive people, just increasing the consequences and speed of failure because of it. My concern is mainly a safety and privacy factor--it's not really about technology. Keep thinking about the topic--we need to find a way to help kids protect themselves.
Jan 22 Posted 2 years ago
Hi Chris, I am not an American, sorry I don't really know the education culture in American, but imagine if Dale Carnegie courses, Toastmasters courses, or any other communication courses are in school education, don't you think it helps a lot?
Jan 22 Posted 2 years ago
Great Idea, though I'm not sure social media needs to be thought in school. I'd agree with Kent Ong here.
This would be similar to people being thought how to use the phone at school, when it was invented. It is worrying that technology is creating very naive people it seems, so this 'social communication' needs to be dealt with, people don't understand how act socially, or see the signs of others when they do not.
I do really like the topic though and it's got me thinking so thanks Chris.
Jan 22 Posted 2 years ago
Interesting thoughts, Kent. Relationship education would be a challenge in U.S. public schools, don't you think? We have always been a nation that believes that belongs in the home, whether it's getting accomplished there or not (sadly).
Jan 21 Posted 2 years ago
we don't need social media school, but we need how to build relationship education, high EQ, how to communicate, etc. Because once we master these, we can apply anywhere.

Gone are the days when some entrepreneurs were more concerned with making some cold hard cash than with making a difference, one example is this dry cleaner who find toxins on his property and quickly takes corrective measure to address perc contamination found on his dry cleaning site. "Part of it was being a good citizen, and part of it is protecting the value of the property", according to dry cleaner shop's owner, even if it's means he needs to sacrifice his business temporarily in order to make way for soil excavation, to remove the contamination on the soil.
The property has been used for dry cleaning for many years so pollution may have been lurking on the building's soil for years and with vapor intrusion it could be a great risks to humans health. Vapor intrusion is when chemicals move from the ground or water into home or other buildings through openings or cracks in the foundation. Chemicals that enter from the ground often belong to a class of chemicals called "volatile organic compounds" or a gas. Once inside, the VOCs can spread through out the place with the help of natural air flow, room or house fans, or other ventilation devices. When this occurs, vapor intrusion can be an important source of indoor pollution in your property.
According to medical studies, effects resulting from short term high-level inhalation exposure of humans to perchloroethylene may include irritation of the upper respiratory tract and eyes, kidney dysfunction, and neurological effects such as reversible mood and behavioral changes, impairment of coordination, dizziness, headache, sleepiness, and unconsciousness.

Are All Children REALLY Artists?
Can any adult become an artist? Can anyone learn how to draw?
If you are like most art teachers, these question have a very passionate answer…YES! YES! YES! I believe that every student has artistic potential and that art skills can undoubtedly be taught. They may come more naturally to some, but that is the case with any skill. Teaching these skills is the purpose behind our jobs, right? (I mean, along with creative thinking, artistic interpretation, cross-curricular connections, empathy, problem-solving, etc.) I bring up this very passionate and sometimes downright emotional subject for two reasons.
I want to discuss a pet peeve of mine. It has to do with non-art teachers. Have you ever heard other teachers say things to their students like, "I can't draw a straight line," or "I only draw stick people.," or "I can't draw that and I don't think you can draw that either." It is enough to make me want to pull out my hair! You would never hear a teacher say, "Math is hard." (Didn't Barbie get into pretty deep trouble for that one?) Or "I don't like to read" or "I can't understand science." Why is this such a double standard? The answer is it shouldn't be, but most likely the other teachers in your building are unaware of what they are doing to your program and your credibility as a teacher. Which leads me to my next item.
It is up to you to educate your colleagues. Several years ago I was asked to present at a faculty meeting about the art department, curriculum, etc. At first, I was kind of shocked and intimidated, but then I saw this opportunity for what is was. I was always asking students and teachers what they were working on in their classrooms, this was my opportunity to make teachers aware of what is happening in mine and how they can support me! Novel idea, right? I put together a short presentation that included images, statistics and short clips of students working in art. To set the mood, I included this short advocacy commercial from Americans For The Arts. Check it out below!
Not to brag, but you could hear a pin drop during my presentation. They were fascinated! I ended the program by listing what they could do to support me and included a bit about how important it is to discuss art skills in a positive and supporting light with students.
This is the essence of art advocacy. Spreading the word from the ground up! For more simple and practical ideas of how to advocate for a better and stronger art program, check out AOE's Advocating for the Arts online class beginning February 1. Learn more right here.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic.
Is every child really an artist?
Can you teach anyone how to draw?
How do you educate your colleagues about the importance of art education?

Merced march honoring MLK planned for Monday
Hundreds of people are scheduled to participate Monday in the annual march honoring trailblazing civil rights leader the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
The 18th annual march is to take place along Martin Luther King Jr. Way. The march will begin at 11 a.m at the Amtrak station, 324 W. 24th St., and end at the Merced County Fairgrounds, 900 Martin Luther King Jr. Way.
After the march, there will be a celebration inside the Exhibit Building at the fairgrounds, with entertainment by local schoolchildren, youth groups, choirs and speakers, according to organizers.
Merced-based Rancho Valencia riders and Sol de Valle dancers will be part of the multicultural celebration.
The parade's grand marshals are Yosemite National Park Ranger Shelton Johnson and the Rev. Dwight Amey.
There will be road closures associated with the parade: 24th Street between H Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way, and Martin Luther King Jr. Way from 24th to Eighth streets.
Highway 99 southbound and northbound offramps will be closed at 14th Street. South Highway 59 at Childs Avenue will be inaccessible.

Pollution Prevention's Used Oil Recycling Program has a newmultimedia interactive program. It was developed by Ross-Campbell Inc. for the County of Orange and the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB). The interactive program has important environmental, clean water and recycling information, and has fun quizzes for adults and children.
Click here to download quiz (6.25MB) Windows 95, 98 or NT operating system required to view the EXE file.
The Pollution Prevention Program promotes the opportunities that are available to regulated businesses to reduce and eliminate the creation of hazardous waste.
We assist regulated businesses by providing:
Source Reduction
Pollution prevention is multimedia source reduction that reduces the amount of any hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant entering any waste stream or otherwise released into the environment prior to recycling, treatment or disposal. Hazardous waste source reduction causes a net reduction in the generation of hazardous waste or a lessening of the properties, which cause it to be classified as a hazardous waste.
California passed the Hazardous Waste Source Reduction and Management Review Act of 1989 (SB 14) to promote source reduction in the generation of hazardous waste.
If you produce more than 12,000 kilograms of hazardous waste or 12 kilograms or more of extremely hazardous waste in a reporting year, you must prepare a plan, a performance report, and a summary progress report by September 1, 1999 and every four years thereafter. For a more detailed explanation of requirements for each of these documents, contact the Department of Toxic Substances Control Office of Pollution Prevention and Technology Development, P.O. Box 806, Sacramento, CA 95812-0806, (916) 322-3670.
Implementation of source reduction technologies by a business generates benefits such as reduction in waste disposal costs, reduction in regulation, liability, and employee exposure to hazardous materials.
Numerous business resources/documents addressing hazardous waste reduction are available through our office, including checklists and assessment manuals:
If you need some specific information or assistance regarding how your business can implement source reduction measures, please call 714-433-6244 or firstname.lastname@example.com
pollution prevention special eventWe utilize a hazardous waste newsletter to convey new requirements and opportunities relating to pollution prevention to regulated businesses. In addition, upon request, we conduct site visits to help regulated businesses identify pollution prevention opportunities at their facility. The Pollution Prevention Program addresses the opportunities for the entire business community regardless of the size of the regulated business.

A jump line is a line of text that appears at the bottom of an article, telling readers that the article is being cut off there, but will continue on another page; e.g., "Continued on page 288." Another jump line often appears at the top of the column for the continuing article; e.g., "Continued from page 287."
It's easy enough to enter jump lines manually, but if you later add or delete pages from your layout, you have to remember to correct the page numbers in all of your jump lines. So if you know how to use page markers in Adobe InDesign, you can save yourself some work.
Watch today's free episode of InDesign Secrets with Anne-Marie Concepción to find out how to add automatic numbering to your jump lines with markers, and learn a couple of different treatments for styling jump lines. She'll also show you how to save your variations in a library that can be shared with other designers.

October 2010-Finally decide to commit to do STS. My lifting for Meso 1 is only 3lb dumbbells and 10 lb bodybar cushioned. December 2010-Meso 2. Up to lifting 6-8 lbs dumbbells and 10lbs on a barbell. February 2011-Meso 3. My latest and greatest. 30 lb barbell, 10 lb dumbbelss. With squat rack, I squated 54 lbs with the 20 lb weighted vest, 30 lb barbells and two pound weighted gloves. Consistent total weight loss is 12 lbs. with the Holidays and winter storms.
thanks. I've gotten a few looks when I told my co-workers/clients I could squat that much....feels good though.
Tonight, Feb. 2011. Meso 3, Week 3, Chest and Back. Increased weight load by 4 pounds by using the gloves. Love the Gloves!!
Great JT! Can I ask what kind/brand of weighted gloves you have? I'm going to start STS in about a month (I'm so nervous) and I'm in the process of collecting all the equipment. I've been looking at different brands of weighted gloves . . . I know it really shouldn't be THAT hard of a decision but I just can't decide!

Cloud security trends
CSOonline recently had an article on Cloud Security trends for 2011. In it they described 5 things to watch for in 2011. You can read the article for their perspective on these trends but I have a perspective on the items on their list…
- Smart phone data slinging - This is the fact that more corporate data will be "out there" on mobile devices. The article focused on the possibility that the carrier get cracked and the stream of corporate information become available to someone outside the enterprise. These kinds of issues have been tackled for years in the laptop space. We use end-to-end encryption that the carrier can't see into. The carriers can't really provide it though, since that is what got Blackberry in trouble with governments across the globe. Organizations on the other hand have had VPNs, drive encryption, remote wiping… Some mobile devices can do this today as well, it may be a whole new mobile world, but some of these issues are not all that new. The devices have just not all caught up with it yet, so businesses may need to lobby their providers. Organizations with these security concerns do have a bit more of an issue with "bring your device to work" approaches, at least for a while.There are some solutions in the works.
- Need for better access control and identity management - To me this is an integration issue to a large extent. There needs to be an enterprise approach to the cloud activity, it is not just an aggregation of services – it needs to be integrated in a seamless fashion otherwise the security (and the user interface) experience will chafe. Since mobile devices have a greater ability for multifactor authentication than we've ever had, their integration into the enterprise cloud should make security stronger not weaker – if done properly.
- Ongoing compliance concerns – Definitely compliance with HIPAA, PCI and other yet-to-be-defined compliance standards will be a driver for hybrid cloud activities and a restraint on the growth of public cloud for the foreseeable future.
- Risk of multiple cloud tenants – To me this was one that seemed to be focused more on the flaws in virtual machines and related system software. Unfortunately, that is outside the control of nearly every system/software consumer. Keeping your systems patched is the best way to avoid this one and use system software that you've developed a trusted relationship.
- Emergence of cloud standards and certifications – This is definitely an area I believe we're going to see some shifts taking place in 2011.
A couple items I'd add:
6. Cloud supplier responsibilities for consumer actions clarified – There have been a few instances where the cloud service provider have had their feet held to the fire for the actions of the clients they host. This will get more clarification either legislatively or through the contracts. Remember the wikileaks hosted by Amazon incident.
7. "Do not track" legislation – although not specifically cloud related, it is something that everyone will need to be more aware of when it comes to fruition.

Hello. Yesterday I found one great book about "Multi-robot systems, Trends and Development". Maybe you will be interested about it? This book is a collection of 29 excellent works and comprised of three sections: task oriented approach, bio inspired approach, and modeling/design. In the first section, applications on formation, localization/mapping, and planning are introduced. The second section is on behavior-based approach by means of artificial intelligence techniques. The last section includes research articles on development of architectures and control systems. You can read it on online reading platform, or just download it for free here: http://www.intechopen.com/books/show/title/multi-r

Demonstrative in Aiken Thoroughbred HOF
Demonstrative, voted an Eclipse Award as champion steeplechase horse for 2014, will be inducted in to the Aiken Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame.
Demonstrative, voted an Eclipse Award as champion steeplechase horse for 2014, will be inducted in to the Aiken Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame.
Here is a complete list of the 2014 Eclipse Award winners, as voted on and presented by the National Thoroughbred Racing Association/Equibase, Daily Racing Form, and National Turf Writers Association.
Jacqueline Ohrstrom's Demonstrative, winner of three consecutive grade I NSA races, lands the Eclipse Award as the top steeplechase horse of 2014.
Bill Pape's Divine Fortune set all the pace in the $100,000 Marion duPont Scott Colonial Cup (NSA-I) Nov. 15 and drew away to a dominating nine-length victory.
Demonstrative took a big step toward the 2014 Eclipse Award as the nation's outstanding steeplechase horse when he easily captured the $250,000 Grand National Oct. 18 at Far Hills, N.J., for his third straight grade I win.
Demonstrative, a gelded son of Elusive Quality, rallied late and held off fast-closing Parker's Project for a one-length triumph in the Lonesome Glory Handicap at Belmont Park Sept. 18.
Trained by Richard Valentine, the victory marked the second time Demonstrative has won the New York Turf Writers as the 7-year-old Elusive Quality gelding also took the 2012 edition of the race.
Elizabeth Voss Murray, who recently took over the stable of her late father Tom Voss, registered her first graded stakes win July 31 when Makari eked out a nose victory in the $100,000 A.P. Smithwick (NSA-I) at Saratoga.
Divine Fortune, the Eclipse Award-winning champion steeplechase horse of 2013, started a successful defense of his title May 10, winning the Iroquois Stakes (NSA-I) at Percy Warner Park in Nashville, Tenn.
Jacqueline Ohrstrom's Demonstrative edged past Divine Fortune at the finish line to win the $150,000 Calvin Houghland Iroquois Steeplechase (NSA-I) by a head May 11 at Percy Warner Park in Nashville, Tenn.
Demonstrative, an Eclipse Award finalist in last season's steeplechase division, will make his 2013 jumps debut in the $150,000 Iroquois Steeplechase Saturday, May 11 at Percy Warner Park Course.
Pierrot Lunaire took a big step toward a possible steeplechase Eclipse Award when he came from off the pace to overtake Divine Fortune in the $250,000 Grand National (NSA-I) at New Jersey's 92nd Far Hills Races Oct. 20.
Demonstrative, winner of the New York Turf Writers Cup Handicap (NSA-I), will battle with several veteran runners and new arrivals to American racing in the $250,000 Grand National (NSA-I), at Far Hills Races Oct. 20.
Thursday afternoon produced a perfectly blissful day. But the bliss had little to do with the horse racing. read blog
Jockey Robert Walsh deftly avoided trouble on Demonstrative when leader Divine Fortune fell over the final jump, going on to win the $150,000 New York Turf Writers Cup Steeplechase Handicap (NSA-I) at Saratoga Aug. 23.
Rain entered the picture early on Thursday. By 7:00 am, it was teeming. Then it stopped and stayed dry for the rest of the day, although a few miles away there were downpours. read blog
This weekend at Saratoga, Winter Memories looks to follow in her dam's footsteps again when she will go off as the heavy favorite in the Aug. 21 Woodford Reserve Lake Placid Stakes (gr. IIT).
Lael Stables' 3-year-old filly Check the Label, scratched out of the off-the-turf Lake Placid (gr. IIT) last month, returns to Belmont Park where she seeks her first grade I win in the $250,000 Garden City Stakes.
Check the Label shoots for her fourth consecutive graded stakes win Aug. 22 at Saratoga, as she headlines the Woodford Reserve Lake Placid (gr. IIT) for 3-year-old fillies
Sagamore Farm's Shared Account gamely held off a determined Keertana under a light rain to win the 26th running of the $150,000 Lake Placid Stakes (gr. IIT) at Saratoga Race Course on Aug. 21.
Barbara Hunter's homebred Keertana, winner of three in a row including the last two in stakes company, leads an evenly-matched field of eight 3-year-old fillies who will take to the Saratoga turf for the $150,000 Lake Placid Stakes (gr. IIT) on Aug. 21.
Fresh off her impressive victory in last month's Virginia Oaks (gr. IIIT), Flying Zee Stable's homebred I Lost My Choo tries to take the next step in her budding career, as she takes on seven rivals in the $150,000 Lake Placid Stakes (gr. IIT) Aug. 15 on the Saratoga turf.
For days, reporters have been asking Bill Mott about his successful season at Saratoga, where he leads all trainers with a 16-6-10 standing from 53 starts. For days, Mott has been realistic about his chances; he's seen other horsemen hit unexpected winning streaks, has known the dry spells that can suddenly hit a leading trainer's string. Just because he was ahead at week one, or week two, or week three of the meet doesn't mean he'll be the last man standing when they run the last race on the last day, and this is what Mott has been quick to say.
Bill Mott and Kent Desormeaux have both been red-hot at Saratoga this summer. In the 24th running of the $150,000 Lake Placid (gr. II) Aug. 17, the trainer-jockey tandem teamed up once again to defeat a group of talented 3-year-old fillies on the turf.
Christmas Kid, who boasts a wealth of accomplishments in her nine-start career, will look for her third graded victory in the Aug. 17 Lake Placid Stakes (gr. IIT) for 3-year-old fillies at Saratoga.

Dunta Robinson (on Reserve PUP)
I'm a little surprised to hear this about the injury: "It's probably three quarters speed. It's feeling fine; I could play if I wanted to right now, but mentally, I'm not ready and I still have some pain in my knee and I'm just going to keep working on that and getting myself better." I take it as good news that he could play now if he wanted to, but I don't know if that's the real truth of the matter. Because he also says he thinks he'll be back before November. Thoughts?
Thanks to Premier |

Re: Dunta Robinson
Physically he might be close to being ready, but to getting back to football speed and getting the mentality to be a force on the field again will take alot longer.

Re: Dunta Robinson
I seriously doubt he could actually be on the field right now, despite what he says. I work in restaurants, and he came in about two and a half weeks ago. He had a bit of a limp and he sat with his leg propped up on a chair, so I can't really see anyone going from "I can't walk normally and I have to prop my leg up when I sit" to "I can play football" in less than three weeks. Super nice guy though. Likes his hennessy. It started pouring down rain right when he was about to leave, and our parking lot gets slick, so naturally we were all pretty worried. We warned him to be super careful, and he chuckled. I said, "No, we're serious. You want us to carry you out to your car?" and he laughed his a$$ off and said, "nah, i think i'll be alright."
Just thought that last part was kinda cool. |

Otherwise, if he follows his rehab, his knee and hammy should be back to 100% in less than one year. |

Re: Dunta Robinson
its not a question of Dunta Robinsons mental toghness we all know he oozes that stuff but to play & be effective in the NFL @ the CB position is what seperates the men from the boys. you always have to play with an edge & skill level possibly unmatched, except for QB, so it puts extra pressure on himself if in fact he feels the pain. this is not good news. if its the case it would be best to let him take his time until next year, be willing to re-sign him @ a discount or let him test the free agent waters. afterall its a buisness & decisions have to be made based upon everyones best interest.

Since her name comes up here from time to time, I thought I'd point out that the person giving Dunta the death stare in the still image on that video link is Kristie Reiken - the local AP writer that covers the Texans and the source of all the AP articles about the Texans (the stuff that ends up in other national newspapers and places like NFL.com and ESPN from time to time).

If he suits up in Novemeber, I would be A-OK with that. Anytime before then would be too soon, better to wait than to get him back and risk further damage and miss him alot longer next time.

It is unfortunate, but I dont believe hell ever be the same. I think we are looking at another Charles Spencer here. I hate saying that, because Dunta is a totally different case, he proved what he could do over several seasons.

1560s LZ said in his blog yesterday that the likelihood of D-Rob being back on the field this season is a coin-flip, in other words 50-50. And as far as I'm concerned, of people outside of the Texans organization, LZ is atleast as knowledgeable as anybody in town about the team.

I don't understand why people are acting like they know something about his injury that would threaten his career. His injury is not career threatening unless he's lost a lot of cartilidge, which doesn't appear to be the case. So, what's with these silly predictions? |

I'm sure he knows and expets to be placed on the PUP list. I do like that he feels like he could play right now if he needed to. Work on a recovering 100% and it will be like us trading for a Pro-Bowler in the middle of the season.

Re: Dunta Robinson
I think he goes on the PUP and then comes off it after the Miami game (game 6). He'll probably sit out the Detroit game and then the following week is the bye. He can practice with the team during this time without going on the 53 man roster (at least that is my interpretation of the rules). Nov 2nd is at Minnesota and then Nov 9 is a home game against Cincinnati. I think he sees his first time in the home game.

Re: Dunta Robinson
actually the hamstring is a pretty common injury. John Elway ripped his bicep off the bone on his throwing arm and played the season with it that way. Those injuries take 2-3 months to recover from. It's not a difficult surgery nor a high risk surgery. Regarding the ACL, I've had my ACL repaired and 5 other surgeries on my two knees.... It takes time but certainly he can expect a full recovery. |
