Explosive growth in connected devices. Enormous amounts of data for collection and analysis. Critical use of data for split-second decision making and actionable information. All three are factors in making the Internet of Things a reality. Yet, any one factor would have an IT organization pondering its infrastructure strategy.
How should your organization enhance its IT framework to enable an Internet of Things implementation? In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, James Kirkland, Chief Architect for the Internet of Things and Intelligent Systems at Red Hat, will describe how to revolutionize your architecture and create an integrated, interoperable, reliable system of thousands of devices. Using real-world examples, James will discuss the transformative process taken by companies in moving from a two-tier to a three-tier topology for IoT implementations. James will discuss:
- The benefits of a three-tier approach
- The emergence of the controller tier as a pivot point for modern enterprise IoT architecture
- Architecting your IT environment to achieve scalability, reliability and security
Speaker Bio:
James Kirkland is the advocate for Red Hat's initiatives and solutions for the Internet of Things(IoT) and is the architect of its three-tier strategy for IoT deployments. For the past five years, James has been focused on IoT solutions for the transportation and energy sectors.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

*America could end its hunger problem today if it really wanted to.
This is the reality made clear in a new documentary that examines hunger in the U.S. through the eyes of three people deep in the struggle.
"A Place at the Table," opening Friday (March 1) from directors Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush, puts the spotlight on Barbie, a single mom in Philadelphia who was raised in poverty and trying hard to break the cycle with her two kids; Rosie, a Colorado fifth-grader who often relies on the generosity of her friends and neighbors when it comes to daily meals; and Tremonica, a Mississippi second-grader whose asthma and health issues are exacerbated by the largely-empty calories her hardworking mother can afford.
Jeff Bridges, a longtime hunger activist and founder of the End Hunger Network who also appears in the film, says the government could play a vital role in wiping out hunger in the U.S., if it would only make it a priority.
"I got very excited about Obama when he was campaigning," Bridges told us during interviews for the film Wednesday in New York. "He said we were gonna end childhood hunger by 2015, and that got all of the hunger organizations saying, 'Oh, okay. We're taking our direction from you now.' You know, they got it all figured out. They had the big meetings and got all their ideas together, and now we have an even better plan. But I'm a little disappointed in our government for kind of not following through with that, and not mentioning anything about hunger in the speeches, or the State of the Union."
Chef Tom Colicchio, the film's executive producer and a judge on Bravo's "Top Chef," took things a step further regarding his frustration with the government's sluggish response.
"I think at some point, if politicians are not gonna get on board to either fund these [hunger] programs or focus on this issue, at some point they need to be labeled pro-hunger," he said. "It almost has to happen. It almost has to be an embarrassing label put on you that hopefully then, maybe, you'll decide you don't want that label or that stigma, yourself, and you're forced to do something about it."
Below, co-director Lori Silverbush says government won't act on hunger – or anything else for that matter – unless they are pressured by the will of the people.
"A Place at the Table" will be released theatrically on March 1, 2013, as well as on iTunes and On Demand.

Before Saturday night's Test against the British and Irish Lions, the question had been asked over and over again: Is Israel Folau, a rookie code convert, really ready for international rugby?
OPINION: After that performance, the more sensible query seems to be is whether international rugby ready for Israel Folau?
Folau was a game-changer for the Wallabies in their heartbreaking 23-21 loss at Suncorp Stadium. He could equally be a game-changer for the code in this country, providing Bill Pulver can convince him to hang around.
It's time to look for loose change down the back of the ARU couches. The early signs suggest the sky is the limit.
He dined out in his Test debut like he was mucking around in the back yard, scoring twice in the first half to send the Wallabies on their way before their backline literally fell apart around him.
That he saw precious little ball in the second half, when the Wallabies should have been passing or kicking it in his direction at every opportunity, should go down as a cross in the book of James O'Connor, who struggled to take charge at 10 when the game needed firm and confident direction.
Only Folau's rival winger, the Welsh colossus George North, looked Folau's athletic equal on the field. North scored a majestic try of his own and their tussle over coming Tests will be worth the inflated ticket prices.
The Lions, as well as portions of the touring press, certainly have newfound respect for Folau. His first try, off a Genia kick, showed his raw pace once he gets into open country. His second, where he casually brushed off three defenders to score when nothing was on, had everyone convinced.
The Folau argument has ended. Robbie Deans hasn't always been on the money but he got this one right.
"It was great to get over the line and score a couple of tries. I'm just disappointed with the result," Folau said.
"I couldn't have asked for a better debut. The Lions fans were very passionate and made a lot of noise throughout the game."
There could be more touches on offer Folau next week if Berrick Barnes is ruled out.
Deans may be tempted to shift his superstar winger back in the hope he becomes a superstar fullback. It's a risk but the reward of Folau marauding through the backline with more regularity could mean the difference between keeping the series alive or watching it slip away in Melbourne.
"If the opportunity comes up and Robbie wants me to play there, obviously I'll put my hand up. We've still got Kurtley (Beale) who can play there as well. I'll what Robbie has to say during the week," Folau said.
One man who wasn't surprised by the way Folau thrived on debut was Lions coach Warren Gatland.
Folau's outstanding rugby league career aside, the New Zealander had already been given an inside line on the threat he posed.
"A guy that does a bit of speed work with us, a guy called Frans Bosch, said to me a couple of years ago 'I've worked with two people that I think are incredibly special athletes, probably the two most special athletes I've worked with," Gatland said.
"A guy from the Melbourne Storm called Israel Folau and the other guy is George North".
"It's interesting that they both played against each other today, exceptional talents both of them and I think both players would have learned a lot."
Deans said Folau never once doubted his ability but conceded his side needed to be more willing to harness his talents.
"He has a lot of confidence in his ability to do the things that his does. He's not intimidated," Deans said. "He's a talent. We need to bring him into the game."

11 Hellbeast Hybrids Made By Animals And Album Sleeves
Sleeveface is a fun game where you try to line up your own body with a picture of someone on an album cover. But when animals play it, they look like lab experiments gone horribly, horribly wrong.
1. This cat/hellhound comes courtesy of Iron and Wine and a ginger boy.
Imagine waking up to this cuddling you and licking you awake while it stares at you lovingly with its horrible yellow eyes. Shudder.
2. And this sensual Phil Collins dog is just dark.
Look at it. It knows you hate it and it doesn't care and it is going to follow you wherever you go for the rest of your life. There is no running away from Collinsdog.
3. But actually? This friendly pigcat isn't THAT bad.
Not that that means I want to be its friend, but I bet someone might if they were lonely enough.
4. Same goes for this gross lil guy.
Aw, actually, I would almost pet this one… maybe.
5. Sadedog, however, is pretty much the stuff of nightmares.
6. And this one makes ME into a hybrid of hatred and fear.
If you don't think it's that bad, just think about what it would look like when it tried to walk around. AHH
7. help
please help me
8. Diana Ross should NEVER be a dog centaur!
Especially not one with an extra-long arm like that. Eek.
9. And this is just rude.
What are you implying is about to happen to that sweet baby deer? This photo is begging for some kind of intervention.
10. Try not to be unnerved by the sensual gaze of the Sheryl Crow spaniel.
The black and white is a nice (read: horrible) touch here. Unfocus your eyes a little bit for extra shuddering!
11. Finally, gaze on the puffy weirdness of Survivor cat.
This is so weirdly ambitious and misguided. That is not even a tiger at all! Not even close. I like this one.

Over the past 100 000 years cold temperatures largely prevailed over the planet in what is known as the last ice age. However, the cold period was repeatedly interrupted by much warmer climate conditions.
Scientists have long attempted to find out why these drastic temperature jumps of up to ten degrees took place in the far northern latitudes within just a few decades.
Now, for the first time, a group of researchers at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI), has been able to reconstruct these climate changes during the last ice age using a series of model simulations. The surprising finding is that minor variations in the ice sheet size can be sufficient to trigger abrupt climate changes.
During the last ice age a large part of North America was covered with a massive ice sheet up to 3km thick. The water stored in this ice sheet is part of the reason why the sea level was then about 120 meters lower than today. Young Chinese scientist Xu Zhang, lead author of the study who undertook his PhD at the Alfred Wegener Institute, explains.
"The rapid climate changes known in the scientific world as Dansgaard-Oeschger events were limited to a period of time from 110,000 to 23,000 years before present. The abrupt climate changes did not take place at the extreme low sea levels, corresponding to the time of maximum glaciation 20,000 years ago, nor at high sea levels such as those prevailing today - they occurred during periods of intermediate ice volume and intermediate sea levels."
The results presented by the AWI researchers can explain the history of climate changes during glacial periods, comparing simulated model data with that retrieved from ice cores and marine sediments.
How rapid temperature changes might have occurred during times when the Northern Hemisphere ice sheets were at intermediate sizes (see schematic depictions on http://bit.ly/1uQoI70).
During the cold stadial periods of the last ice age, massive ice sheets covered northern parts of North America and Europe. Strong westerly winds drove the Arctic sea ice southward, even as far as the French coast.
Since the extended ice cover over the North Atlantic prevented the exchange of heat between the atmosphere and the ocean, the strong driving forces for the ocean currents that prevail today were lacking. Ocean circulation, which is a powerful "conveyor belt" in the world's oceans, was thus much weaker than at present, and consequently transported less heat to northern regions.
During the extended cold phases the ice sheets continued to thicken. When higher ice sheets prevailed over North America, typical in periods of intermediate sea levels, the prevailing westerly winds split into two branches. The major wind field ran to the north of the so-called Laurentide Ice Sheet and ensured that the sea ice boundary off the European coast shifted to the north. Ice-free seas permit heat exchange to take place between the atmosphere and the ocean.
At the same time, the southern branch of the northwesterly winds drove warmer water into the ice-free areas of the northeast Atlantic and thus amplified the transportation of heat to the north. The modified conditions stimulated enhanced circulation in the ocean. Consequently, a thicker Laurentide Ice Sheet over North America resulted in increased ocean circulation and therefore greater transportation of heat to the north. The climate in the Northern Hemisphere became dramatically warmer within a few decades until, due to the retreat of the glaciers over North America and the renewed change in wind conditions, it began to cool off again.
"Using the simulations performed with our climate model, we were able to demonstrate that the climate system can respond to small changes with abrupt climate swings," explains Professor Gerrit Lohmann, leader of the Paleoclimate Dynamics group at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Germany. In doing so he illustrates the new study's significance with regards to contemporary climate change. "At medium sea levels, powerful forces, such as the dramatic acceleration of polar ice cap melting, are not necessary to result in abrupt climate shifts and associated drastic temperature changes."
At present, the extent of Arctic sea ice is far less than during the last glacial period. The Laurentide Ice Sheet, the major driving force for ocean circulation during the glacials, has also disappeared. Climate changes following the pattern of the last ice age are therefore not to be anticipated under today's conditions.
"There are apparently some situations in which the climate system is more resistant to change while in others the system tends toward strong fluctuations," summarises Gerrit Lohmann. "In terms of the Earth's history, we are currently in one of the climate system's more stable phases. The preconditions, which gave rise to rapid temperature changes during the last ice age do not exist today. But this does not mean that sudden climate changes can be excluded in the future."

Today's enterprise applications are distributed by design. For applications to interact with one another over networks optimally, they require Service Oriented and Event Driven Architectures made up of loosely federated business resources, that interact by exchanging requests (for data delivery and integration, as well as for services) and that can handle streams of diverse business processes in real-time. To support large-scale, enterprise integration, organizations need to adopt strategies that rationalize the infrastructure for integration based on the requirements of business/IT organization itself. The only successful integration efforts are those that provide agile, pervasive and low cost solutions in order to cater to today's diverse deployment environments, while fully leveraging available standards.
Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), which can be defined as middleware that brings together both integration technologies and runtime services to make business services widely available for reuse, offers the best solution for meeting today's enterprise application integration challenges by providing a software infrastructure that enables SOA. However, there are currently a number of different vendors that provide ESB solutions, some of which focus purely on SOAP/HTTP and others who provide multi-protocol capabilities. Because these vendors span the horizon from big enterprise generalists (app servers), to mid-tier enterprise integration providers, all the way to smaller, ESB/integration specific-providers - there doesn't seem to be an established consensus regarding the key requirements for an ESB.
As application architects, we have often thought about what requirements would define an ESB designed specifically to cater to the needs of an agile, enterprise integration model. In building for these specific requirements, we realized that we actually needed to develop a new type of ESB - hence the ServiceMix project.
Characteristics of an Agile ESB
The main criteria we were looking for in our ESB are as follows:
- Standards based - While standards-based support is marketed by many ESB vendors, the support is provided externally, requiring developers to work with proprietary APIs when directly interacting with internal APIs. ServiceMix was designed with the requirement to eliminate product API lock-in, by being built from the ground up to support the Java Business Integration specification (JSR 208). Our agile ESB needs to use JBI as a first class citizen, but also support POJO deployment for ease of use and testing.
- Flexible - Another characteristic of an agile ESB is the flexibility with which it can be deployed within enterprise application integration framework: standalone, embedded in an application component, or as part of the services supported by an application server. This allows for component re-use throughout the enterprise. For example, the binding for a real-time data feed might be aggregated as a web-service running within an application server, or streamed directly into a fat client on a traders desk. An agile ESB should be able to run both types of configurations seamlessly.
To provide rapid prototyping, an agile ESB should support both scripting languages and embedded rule engines, allowing business processes to be modeled and deployed quickly.
Some have argued that integration functionality is best place at the edges of the network. Others prefer a logical ESB server to be separate from the edges - to keep the edges simple and lightweight. Both approaches have their strengths and weaknesses - so we wanted an ESB that is simple and lightweight to deploy into any JVM or into a web server or a full Java EE server - reusing all the available facilities in which it is deployed.
- Reliable - Our ESB needs to handle network outages and system failures and to be able to reroute message flows and requests to circumvent failures.
- Breadth of Connectivity - An agile ESB must support both two way reliable Web-services and Message Oriented-Middleware and needs to co-operate seamlessly with EIS and custom components, such as batch files.
We also wanted our agile ESB to be vendor independent and open source, to promote user control of source code and direction. An added benefit of this is not only the zero purchase cost, but the total cost of ownership will be reduced where users are actively contributing and maintaining our ESB.
We rapidly came to the conclusion, that as there was no single product that would adequately meet our needs, we'd have just go a head and build one!
What Is JBI?
There has been a fair amount of buzz about JBI and there is some confusion over what JBI (JSR 208) is.
JBI is a simple API to a Normalized Message Service and Router along with a component and management model for deploying integration services such as routing engines, BPEL engines, rule systems, transformation engines etc.
JBI provides a logical XML messaging network which maps well to web services, HTTP, email and JMS/MOM while easily adapting to legacy systems, binary transports and RPC systems like EJB and CORBA. Think of it as the next logical abstraction above JMS, with support for different message exchanges (one way, request response etc).
The binding components deal with all the plumbing and protocol stuff, then service engine components work on a logical XML layer, providing content based routing, orchestration, rules, transformations and custom enrichment etc.
So BPEL engines no longer need to deal with all of the possible protocols, transports and wire formats; they can just delegate to JBI for the physical routing to service endpoints. Similarly content based routers, rules engines, transformation engines can sit on the JBI bus and do their thing. JBI is looking like being a great API for integration component developers.
Many application developers will still end up writing POJO services and dropping them into their container and exposing them as web services - so often they won't need to use the JBI APIs directly; but for integration vendors and open source integration projects, JBI provides a way for us to all work together at the ESB level and to reuse integration containers, components and tooling.
ServiceMix is an open source (Apache licensed) Enterprise Service Bus which is compliant with the Java Business Specification (JBI), JSR 208.
ServiceMix already provides JBI support for Apache Geronimo, the first application server to provide this feature.
The idea of comparing data in motion (at the sensor level) to data at rest (in a Big Data server warehouse) with predictive analytics in the cloud is very appealing to the industrial IoT sector. The problem Big Data vendors have, however, is access to that data in motion at the sensor location. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Scott Allen, CMO of FreeWave, discussed how as IoT is increasingly adopted by industrial markets, there is going to be an increased demand for sensor data from the outermos...

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Investors are tossing up whether to invest in state-owned electricity company floats or install solar panels kits in their homes, according to the micro-generation industry.
Brendan Winitana, chairman of the Sustainable Energy Association, said the cost of installing solar photovoltaic panels had dropped by close to 50 per cent over the past 18 months, as manufacturers liquidated stock in the face of lower subsidies in Europe.
The price drop meant the technology was increasingly being seen as a prudent investment, rather than a green initiative. "We have individuals coming to us and saying, 'give us the key reasons why we should invest in this technology, versus, say, dropping 10 grand into the Mighty River float', and whether they're going to get a better return."
According to the association, a 2.5 kilowatt solar pv system costs about $8000 to install but at current electricity prices saves an average $648 a year, generating a return of just over 8 per cent.
Larger systems could return about 9 per cent, Winitana said.
As well as households, companies were also increasingly looking to install solar panels on commercial buildings, for fiscal, rather than green reasons. "For commercial customers, the whole green thing is a driving factor, but it's not the main driving factor. It is about the saving, it is whether the decision stacks up from a commercial perspective."
The association's recent survey of its members predicted 170 per cent revenue growth over the next five years.
Ewan Gebbie, executive officer of the Energy Management Association, said its analysis showed that solar panels on roofs were certainly cost effective in areas such as Northland and Gisborne, where sunlight was strong and electricity tariffs were high.
Gebbie said if electricity costs continued to increase it would not be long before installations became standard in new buildings in most parts of the country.
"It's definitely coming into play; the tipping point is certainly getting close."

The trajectory tracking problem of a closed-chain five-bar robot is studied in this paper. Based on an error transformation function and the backstepping technique, an approximation-based tracking algorithm is proposed, which can guarantee the control performance of the robotic system in both the stable and transient phases. In particular, the overshoot, settling time, and final tracking error of the robotic system can be all adjusted by properly setting the parameters in the error transformation function. The radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is used to compensate the complicated nonlinear terms in the closed-loop dynamics of the robotic system. The approximation error of the RBFNN is only required to be bounded, which simplifies the initial "trail-and-error" configuration of the neural network. Illustrative examples are given to verify the theoretical analysis and illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Finally, it is also shown that the proposed approximation-based controller can be simplified by a smart mechanical design of the closed-chain robot, which demonstrates the promise of the integrated design and control philosophy.

Jack White is to write the score for 'The Lone Ranger'.
Walt Disney Studios have confirmed the former White Stripes frontman will perform, produce and pen the score for the action movie - which will see Armie Hammer star in the titular role - and producer Jerry Bruckheimer is ''very excited'' the musician has signed up for the project.
He told Variety: ''Jack's an amazing songwriter with a unique style. We're all very excited to have him on board.''
Johnny Depp is said to be ''thrilled'' that the 36-year-old star - who had a small part in 2003 movie 'Cold Mountain' and wrote five songs for the soundtrack - is writing the score for the film, which is based on the 1950s TV series.
Jack has previously collaborated with Alicia Keys on 'Another Way To Die' for James Bond film 'Quantum of Solace'.
'The Lone Ranger' tells the story of the famed titular character and his sidekick Tonto - who is portrayed by Johnny Depp - who recounts the untold tales of the masked hero and his fight against greed and corruption.
The movie is due to be released on May 31, 2013.

After nearly three hundred issues, Nintendo Power is finally coming to an end. To send this long-running periodical off in style, the Cover Critic has decided to review every single issue. Join him as he experiences every aspect of Nintendo's journey through their magazine covers.
Click here to make larger!
In a contest to see who can make Mega Man look the dumbest, Nintendo Power is quickly catching up. And to think, it wasn't that long ago when I proudly proclaimed that Mega Man II was among the top magazine covers of all time. It was so good that it outclassed even Capcom's own box art. Apparently those days are long behind us, because this Mega Man III design makes me seriously question whether I want an endless string of annual sequels.
There are two things I know for sure based solely on looking at this cover. One is that Mega Man III takes place in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where the skies are always orange and the grass is made of AstroTurf. I also know that Rush, Mega Man's trusty pooch, is now 70 years old and unable to stand or eat on his own.
Regardless of how you feel about Rush's frail state, I think it's safe to say that Mega Man's best friend is more of a liability than a help. Our hero should be chasing after the escaping Dr. Wily; this should be the scene of an epic battle. But instead we see Mega taking his aging dog out to do his business. At least we'll know who is responsible when Dr. Wily gets away with taking over the world. Thanks for nothing, Mega Douche.
