In his session at @ThingsExpo, Mike Weiner, Product Manager of the Omega DevCloud with KORE Telematics Inc., discussed the evolving requirements for developers as IoT matures and conducted a live demonstration of how quickly application development can happen when the need to comply wit...

Hornets win 6th in row, beat Wizards 115-110
WASHINGTON (AP)—These are the margins of victory during the New Orleans Hornets' six-game winning streak: 4, 4, 4, 5, 4, 5.
"We ain't had no blowouts," point guard Chris Paul(notes) said. "But at the end of the day, a win is a win."
The Hornets have the longest active run in the NBA, but no one is about to compare them to the Lakers or Celtics just yet. Two days after a narrow victory over the woeful New Jersey Nets, New Orleans blew a seven-point fourth-quarter lead Sunday before holding on for a 115-110 win over another last-place team, the Washington Wizards.
"I just think teams are going to make their runs," forward David West(notes) said. "We fall into those lulls where we get stagnant."
Paul scored eight of his 26 points in the final three minutes and added 14 assists, Peja Stojakovic(notes) scored 20 points, and West and Marcus Thornton(notes) had 15 apiece for the Hornets, who have won three straight away from home to improve their road record to 5-13.
Few would have expected Washington to give the Hornets such a test, but the Wizards have turned their game up a notch without Gilbert Arenas(notes).
Washington was blown out 121-98 at Cleveland on the day Arenas was suspended indefinitely by the NBA for bringing guns to the Verizon Center and related incidents, but since then the Wizards have beaten first-place Orlando at home and hung tough against the streaking Hornets.
Antawn Jamison(notes) tied his season-high with 32 points, and Randy Foye(notes) had 23 starting in place of Arenas to set a season-high for the second straight game. Washington wasted a 58 percent shooting game by committing 19 turnovers, including two by Nick Young(notes) and one by Foye in the final three minutes.
That said, the Wizards realize they also have a smaller margin for error without Agent Zero.
"There's no one out there you can just consistently say, 'Hey, give me the ball, I'm going to go ahead and get you 30.' That's not going to happen," said center Brendan Haywood(notes), who had 14 points and 14 rebounds and made all seven of his field goal attempts. "We're going to have to play better as a team, and we had some lulls in the second quarter and the fourth."
Paul's jumper with 2:54 to play broke a tie at 101 to give the Hornets the lead for good. After Young turned the ball over with a bad pass, James Posey(notes) made it a five-point lead with a 3-pointer. New Orleans shot 53 percent and set a season-high in points.
Wizards coach Flip Saunders was concerned about the early afternoon start time, but his team shot 75 percent in the first quarter, making its last eight field goals and 15 of 20 for the period.
The matinee slump hit in the second quarter, when the Wizards committed eight turnovers and allowed a 10-0 New Orleans run. Paul's 3-pointer with three-tenths of a second remaining gave the Hornets a 60-49 lead at the half.
Foye scored six points in an 11-0 run that tied the game at 76 in the third quarter. The Wizards made their last seven shots of the period and led 82-80 going into the fourth.
Neither team led by more than seven in the fourth quarter.
"I talked to the team afterwards about our ability to score on two or three straight possessions when we really needed it to give ourselves a little bit of room," Hornets coach Jeff Bower said. "I thought that was a really good sign to put consecutive possessions together."
Notes: Eight of Paul's assists came in the first quarter. … Washington G Mike Miller(notes) left the game in the third quarter after reaggravating his strained right calf and will have an MRI on Monday. Miller played Friday for the first time since Nov. 21 and was still feeling sore before the game. … While the Wizards have removed virtually all traces of Arenas from the Verizon Center, one teammate found a way to get his suspended teammate's nickname visible. DeShawn Stevenson(notes) took to the court during pregame warmups with the words "AGENT" and "ZERO" written in red capital letters on tape wrapped around his shins. … Haywood has made 13 consecutive field goals over two games, the longest such streak by a Wizards player since No. 1 overall draft pick flop Kwame Brown(notes) in March 2004. When told that stat, Haywood replied: "I don't want that record. I don't want to be with him,"—a reminder that Brown is remembered far less fondly than Arenas.

"There was a group of 12 of us coming from different places and everyone had a great time at the house. First, I think the place itself was probably a little nicer than the pics - very spacious, lots of bedrooms for different couples/families, etc.. So it worked out well for multiple families. I think location is nice as well since its on the southside which is generally quieter. What made the trip very enjoyable for us was Eddie & Ralph. They were with us whenever we needed them and helped us plan out our activities and was patient with the different opinions from the varying group members. Eddie and George were able to do a personalized snorkel/dive trip that accommodated all of the swim levels which was nice. Eddie also helped us immensely with all the basics (golf carts, groceries, etc..). We had one of the A/Cs go out in one of the rooms and Ralph spent 1/2 a day with an electrician making sure it was working for us the next night. Very awesome! Eddie - thanks again for all the help; we really enjoyed our trip. Probably the only downside was that there was no beachfront to walk on or place to swim in the ocean (very dirty/seaweed heavy, etc..). I think most places on the island are like that, but it would have been nice to be able to swim. Definitely highly recommend the place for larger groups and"Guest: Rakesh S.

"Thank you so much Brad and Paula. I can say enough about your lovely vacation home. I believe your home is set up amazingly for families. Upon arriving the house was freshly cleaned not a crumb onsite. Martha and Robert (onsite staff) openly greeted us and were so accommodating through out the stay. I highly suggest Martha's cooking! Yum! On the days we stayed at the house there was still a lot to do. I thought the hockey sticks and nets were such a nice touch for us Canadians. There wasn't a time that we didn't have something to do. We caught crabs every night on the beach and had many laughs with the kids over the crab races. Martha gave massages at the end of the dock. Robert cleaned the yard daily and always had a smile on his face. He suggested a few places for us to go tour. I believe your house and staff made it a worry free vacation. Everything was always accessible for us. eg. golf cart, tours, wifi. I highly suggest Casa Amarillo to large families or groups. The location and house couldn't have been set up any better. Thank you so Much! The Johnston family."Guest: Johnston Family Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: February 4, 2015View listing
"We were a group of five couples on our first trip to Belize, and we chose The Blue Dolphin because it fit our budget and needs. Everything was great. We really enjoyed all the amenities of the house. Beds were comfortable and bedrooms were spacious. Plenty of room for 10 adults to roam throughout the house. We loved the outside covered decks and all the different deck tables and chairs for us to relax at different times of the day. The pool was nice to cool off. Having our own dock was nice to fish off of, and/or to do our yoga exercises in the morning. Plus, getting picked up right from our dock for scuba excursions was great! Armando and Gloria were really nice and did anything we asked to make our stay the most comfortable. Gloria's cooking was really good too. We arranged to have two golf carts for our trip which were waiting for us when we arrived. Our hosts, Mark and Joan were super nice and catered to anything we needed, but the house came super stocked with everything, so we didn't really need anything else during our stay. All in all, we had a wonderful trip and we hope someday make it back to the Blue Dolphin and Belize. Overall, it was Unbelizable! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to relax or cram in everything you wanted to do on vacation. Thank you Mark, Joan, Gloria & Armando for making our vacation great!!"Guest: Anonymous Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: June 22, 2015View listing
"The house is beautiful. The balcony is amazing, the pool is great, rooms are fantastic size, you get two kitchens...there is a lot to like. Abner is helpful and very friendly (as was everyone we met). Brittany was responsive throughout in planning the trip. Chris was really helpful in getting us to and from San Pedro. The resort (Porto Fino) is a nice resource for activities (diving, snorkeling...if you are a diver, make sure to insist on a Wall Dive-- Mexico Rocks Canyon is really great). There are some quirks to staying here. Be aware the getting here takes some doing-- you have to take either a plan or a boat from Belize City to San Pedro, and then another boat that takes you right to your own dock. Not a problem; just know that's coming. There was a problem with the pipes while we were there. The team did a great job of fixing the problem quickly. The water got all over the floor and we had to use a bunch of towels to clean it up. We were told that we were going to get a complimentary cleaning because of this inconvenience, but nobody ever came. The carts were great to have, but came with some quirks as well. They have a hard time when it is muddy and wet on the dirt road that is used for travel. They stall out, and you have to dry the spark plugs to get them restarted. Riding the roads was fun for our group, but it is muddy and stinky, with potential to stall out or get stuck. It would be nice if the cart company would provide more instruction on how to use the carts. When we got there, there were two carts waiting, as promised. However, neither would start and we had to get somebody to come out. They had to replace one of the carts (they had to replace one again later in the trip) and finally got the other going. They then tied to collect more than 125% of the price that I was quoted by Brittany for the carts. I was able to do some negotiation, but be ready for some haggling. Overall, the trip was beautiful and full of adventure. I would certainly recommend staying here if you don't mind being off the beaten path a little bit."Guest: James A.

The Republican Party is extremely unpopular. Only 29 percent of Americans view Republicans favorably. As the Republican presidential wannabes strive to out-crazy each other during the primaries, that number probably will go lower. If Democrats get out the vote next year, and unless Republicans can figure out some deceptive way of scaring the living daylights out of the American people, the Republican Party is increasingly obsolete at the national level. They can still do tremendous damage, though, at the state and local level.
Stokes County Democrats had a rollicking good county convention last night at the Quaker Gap community center. Among the many concerns raised by the group, fracking was high on the list. Mary Kerley of No Fracking in Stokes was present at the meeting as a guest. She gave an excellent talk and updated the group on the test drilling that will soon occur in Walnut Cove. William Kiser gave a brilliant presentation on the Democrats' Vote Builder database and how Stokes Democrats will use it to improve our grass-roots organization.
Steve Carroll, chair of the nominating committee, conducted the election for new officers. The new members of the county executive committee are: David Dalton, chair; Michael Hylton, first vice chair; Rev. Greg Hairston, second vice chair; Elizabeth O'Neal, third vice chair; Rebecca Newsome, secretary; and Carol Wood, treasurer.
William Kiser and Paula Duggan were appointed to a committee to work with each precinct on getting the most out of Vote Builder. Graham Flynt and Michael Booth were appointed to a youth outreach committee.
Near the end of the meeting, Buddy Dunlap stood up and told the group that he has been attending Democratic meetings in Stokes County for 60 years, but that he has never seen more enthusiasm in the room than last night. Then he handed the treasurer a check for a $500 donation.
Save the date!
The County Convention is on April 21, 7 p.m., at Quaker Gap Community Center.

Title: EUDAT - Towards a Collaborative Data Infrastructure for Science data infrastructure research communities Keywords: European initiative data services cross-disciplinarity Biological Science, Medical and Health Data, Data Mining and Knowledge Management, e- Science and e-Science Networks, Earth and Environmental Data, Information Science and Topics: Computational informatics, Interoperability and Data Integration, Open Access; Public Sector Information; Legal and Policy Issues, Semantic Web and Linked Data, Social Science Data and the Digital Humanities EUDAT is a new pan-European data initiative, bringing together a unique consortium of 25 partners, including research communities, national data and high performance computing (HPC) centers, technology providers, and funding agencies from 13 countries research communities, aiming to contribute to the production of a collaborative data infrastructure (CDI) to support Europe's scientific and research data requirements. Although research communities from different disciplines have different ambitions and approaches, particularly with respect to data organization and content, they also share basic service requirements. This commonality makes it possible for EUDAT to establish shared pan-European data services, designed to support multiple research communities. Since its start on 1st October Abstract: 2011, EUDAT has been reviewing the approaches and requirements of a first subset of communities from linguistics (CLARIN), earth sciences (EPOS), climate sciences (ENES), environmental sciences (LIFEWATCH), and biological and medical sciences (VPH) and is now extended this analysis to other communities. EUDAT has shortlisted six service cases identified by user communities as priorities: safe replication of data from site to site, data staging to HPC facilities, easy storage, metadata, AAI, and persistent identifiers. In each case, a multi-disciplinary taskforce involving representatives from communities and data centers has been set up to plan for the deployment of these services on the EUDAT infrastructure. EUDAT aims to deliver pilot services in 2012, with full services available to all research communities by the end of 2014.

Nice try, but world aids day was a total bomb!speaking not as a politician, but as something who's worked in a gay mens health service, and who wore his red ribbon proubly, World Aids Day recieved almost no advertising before the day, which had no benefit on getting people to notice it.To add more to this shamble, almost none of the major highstreet stores had ribbons on sale, all but Virgin megastore, no one was out in the streets promoting world aids day.To add insult, on the day itself, almost none of the t.v presenters wore a red ribbon on the day, on any of the channels. The one place you expected to see someone having a ribbon for the thousends of aids sufferers in the world, and not even on t.v was it made clear the importance.So don't convice anyone here that it made a difference when it clearly did not!
There is sex and there are loving relationships. Does there need to be a separation between straight and gay sex for young people. Children are children not little adults. The ingredients of a loving relationship is very important to understand on any level. A special person needs to give sex and love lessons at school, and they must be aware of their own values. It is a more important subject than any other taught.

Name the Beast
Name the Beast
My first step in tackling any obsession: Identify the thought. What is my fear? What is my doubt? I make myself describe it in one sentence, or, if I can, in a few words. For example, when I was released from the hospital's psych ward the first time, I was paranoid that my co-workers would find out that I'd been there. I obsessed about it and obsessed about it and obsessed some more. Finally, I named the fear: I am afraid that if my co-workers find out that I was hospitalized with severe depression that they won't respect me anymore, and they won't assign me any projects. There it is. There's the beast. Phew. I named it, and by doing so, I can rob it of some of its power over me.

Book Review: One minute millionaire
Blogging is technically an online activity, but the lines between virtual and real life have long blurred in the Indian blogosphere. Today, bloggers are friends on social media and off it, exchange notes on blogging and personal lives, and meet each other without the limitations of a computer screen.
BlogAdda wishes to celebrate this aspect of blogging with the #YouMakeMeWIN activity, and this is your chance to honour a fellow blogger who has made an impact on you.
A moment is all you are searching for, a moment in love with yourself. A moment of freshness is all we need to jump into a pool of things that otherwise just take a back seat. A road trip, a jam session or a song that is close to your heart, such pop ups have surprising and healing effect on us considering the amount of madness that we all go through in our everyday lives. It is time for a Taazgi Ka Dhamaka with music.
Did you know Mark Twain visited the Kumbh Mela in 1895 before it was made too mainstream by our Bollywood Stars? Now wouldn't you want to know more about the festival? How would it be if you get a chance to experience Kumbh Mela through a film, books, discussions and performances?
Well, then here is a golden opportunity for those who are intrigued by this gargantuan religious event!
Spare time to read - Blogging is not just about writing but also about research and reading. Read as much as you can to learn new things and ideas that you can experiment with on your own blog.
Formatting - Your post need not be a circus. If you are not good with formatting, then stick to a theme that is light and descent in colors and the post layout. If you are good with trying new stuff then use that skill to better express through colors, fonts and layouts. Avoid colors that are dark and fonts that are overtly bright.
Add your personality - If you are writing on a particular topic, there are a number of people who will be writing on the same topic. So you need to add that specialty to your blog to make it look different and to allow your readers to take away something that the others are not offering.
"Creativity is the key to success in the future..." - APJ Abdul Kalam. Following our late former president's words we bring you today's WOW filled with creativity like no other. We have three words that will make you write a wonderful blog post! Take this creative writing prompt to show-off your creative flair!
In a country which boasts of a pantheon of not just Gods but also Goddesses, isn't it time for women to reclaim their status as a Goddess? Use this week's WOW creative prompt to tell us what you think of this subject!
Holi is the festival of colour, and what's life without a little colour? In the absence of colour, life starts looking bleak, dull and not much worth living. On the other hand, a life full of colour sounds exciting and something to look forward to, right? That's what this week's WOW blog writing prompt is all about!

Editorial Reviews
Children's LiteratureKallana Ohlmstead is an eighth grade girl who thinks she is the queen of cool and of fashion. However, her awkward tallness and her average looks give her a low image of herself. She has a mom who hardly pays attention to her because she is busy with her own work. Her dad's idea for her to join the basketball team to learn team spirit is one of the worst ideas Kallana has ever heard. Having no choice in the matter, she joins the team and learns a lot. Through trial and error, she learns how to play basketball and how to get along with the other girls on the team. It is the spirit of the team that helps her get through a new problem at home. The author holds the reader's attention through the action as well as the conflicts in the story. The book has a great story line that may help readers cope with their own problems. 2000, James Lorimer and Company, $5.50. Ages 10 to 13. Reviewer: Cathi White<%ISBN%>1550287036

Home > Press > Flu vaccine given in microneedle skin patches proves effective in mice: New delivery method could result in simpler, safer, painless vaccines
|Photo: Gary Meek
Image shows an array of microneedles against a microscope image.
Flu vaccine delivered through skin patches containing microneedles has proven just as effective at preventing influenza in mice as intramuscular, hypodermic flu immunization. A team of researchers at Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology believes the new microneedle skin patch method of delivering flu vaccine could improve overall seasonal vaccination coverage in people because of decreased pain, increased convenience, lower cost and simpler logistics over conventional hypodermic immunization.
The research will be published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Another study by the research team on a different influenza strain was described in the journal PLoS ONE.
The patches used in the experiments contained an array of stainless steel microneedles coated with inactivated influenza virus. The patches were pressed manually into the skin and after a few minutes, the vaccine coating dissolved off within the skin. The coated microneedle immunizations were compared to conventional intramuscular hypodermic injections at the same dose in another group of mice.
The researchers found that the microneedle vaccinations induced strong immune responses against influenza virus that were comparable to immune responses induced by the intramuscular, hypodermic immunizations. One month after vaccination, the researchers infected both groups of mice with a high dose of influenza virus. While all mice in a control group of unvaccinated mice died of influenza, all mice in both the hypodermic and the microneedle groups survived.
"Our findings show that microneedle patches are just as effective at protecting against influenza as conventional hypodermic immunizations," says Richard Compans, PhD, Emory professor of microbiology and immunology and one of the paper's senior authors. "In addition, vaccine delivery into the skin is desirable because of the skin's rich immune network."
Even though cutaneous immunization has been shown to induce a broad range of immune responses, and to be especially effective in individuals over age 60, this method has not been widely used because it has not been convenient and has required highly trained personnel.
"Unlike conventional hypodermic injections, microneedles are prepared in a patch for simple administration, possibly by patients themselves, and inserted painlessly onto the skin without specialized training," says Mark Prausnitz, PhD, professor in the Georgia Tech School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and co-senior author. "These micron-scale needles can be mass produced using low-cost methods for distribution to doctors' office, pharmacies and, possibly, people's homes."
Other advantages of the microneedle patches could include more convenient storage, easier transportation and lower dosage requirements. Lower doses could be particularly important because flu vaccine production capacity sometimes is limited for seasonal vaccine, and a future influenza pandemic would require much greater production of vaccine.
Replacing a hypodermic needle with a microneedle patch also could significantly impact the way other vaccines are delivered, and could be particularly beneficial in developing countries. A microneedle patch could fit inside an envelope for delivery by the postal service and would occupy much less storage space. Patches also would increase vaccine safety by reducing the dangers of accidental or intentional hypodermic needle re-use.
The project team plans future immunization studies in other animal models, including guinea pigs or ferrets, before initiating studies in humans. Also, more studies are needed to determine the minimum vaccine dose needed for full protection.
The Emory and Georgia Tech research team began developing the new microneedle vaccine patch technology in 2007 using grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The project team has extensive experience in microneedle development, influenza vaccines, vaccine delivery systems, product development and interdisciplinary collaboration.
In 2007 the NIH awarded a $32.8 million, seven-year contract to Emory, along with the University of Georgia, to establish the Emory/UGA Influenza Pathogenesis and Immunology Research Center. The center is working to improve the effectiveness of flu vaccines through a number of different projects studying how influenza viruses attack their hosts, how they are transmitted, and what new immune targets might be identified for antiviral medicines.
Prausnitz and his colleagues have been working since the mid 1990s to develop microneedle technology for painless drug and vaccine delivery through the skin. The Georgia Tech team has also developed manufacturing processes for microneedle patches and tested the ability of the needles to deliver proteins, vaccines, nanoparticles, and other small and large molecules through the skin.
Other authors of the papers are Emory microbiologists Ioanna Skountzou and Chinglai Yang, and first authors Ling Ye, Qiyun Zhu, Dimitrios Koutsonanos, and Maria del Pilar Martin from Emory and Vladimir Zarnitsyn from Georgia Tech. Other authors and contributors were Yulong Gao, Lei Pan, and Zhiyuan Wen from Emory, and Harvinder Gill and Sean Sullivan from Georgia Tech.
