Jasper Wireless on Monday unveiled a way to make it easier for operators to form machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) partnerships with one another in a bid to remove a layer of complexity from rolling out global services.
"Building alliances is critical in the IoT market and global alliances are being inked all the time," said Scott Barkley, vice president of products at Jasper, in a statement. "However, when you're working with so many different types of enterprise customers, you also need the flexibility to be able to quickly put in place the alliances that will be most relevant to that customer. This can't take months; it needs to be quick, painless and turnkey."
Called the Jasper Alliance Manager, it is a software module integrated into Jasper's M2M platform that allows operators to set the billing, rating and settlement terms of a relationship, administer operational capabilities and policies, and manage network provisioning. It supports multiple partnership types, including resale, co-sell and revenue sharing, and aims to cut the amount of time it takes to form alliances down to days.
"Traditional roaming solutions will not provide the scale or price points to meet the coming demand for global connectivity," said Sam Lucero, senior principal analyst at IHS.
"Consequently, IHS believes that operator alliances will continue to grow in importance, and solutions that facilitate such alliances in an open, agnostic manner – as with the Jasper Alliance Manager – will be welcomed by operators seeking to serve a global M2M market with alliance partners," he said.

While firefighters are holding the line, the Black Forest fire northeast of Colorado Springs is being called the most destructive in Colorado history.
As The Denver Post reports, that grim marker was punctuated by the discovery of two bodies amid the fire's rubble. The paper reports:
"A Black Forest fire home assessment released at 10:00 p.m. Thursday by El Paso County put the number of homes destroyed since the fire began Tuesday afternoon at 379. Last summer's Waldo Canyon fire — which burned just about a dozen miles southwest of the Black Forest fire — destroyed 347 homes.
"The county has stressed on their website 'information concerning intact or partially damaged homes may change.' "
KDVR-TV in Denver spoke to a couple who has been married for 50 years. During the evacuation, they were separated.
As Barbara Zink put it, at one point they thought they would never see each other again. Luckily, this story has a happy ending.
Barbara and Warren Zink were reunited after about a day.
"I'm not ready to give him up," Barbara told KDVR. "I want 50 more years to torture him."
CBS News reports the fire is 5 percent contained. The cause of the blaze is still under investigation and "more than 750 firefighters were fighting the massive wildfire along with air tankers dropping slurry and Chinook helicopters making water drops."
— NPR's "Fire Forecast" app, which is updated daily. We'll embed it below. The interactive should take you right to Colorado Springs, but you can change the location by entering a new "ZIP code, city, etc."

Regina Police Chief Troy Hagen speaks to reporters in this undated file photo.
CTV Regina
Published Wednesday, December 19, 2012 11:31AM CST
Regina's population has grown over the past year, but the overall crime rate has dropped.
The latest statistics show a combined decrease of more than 10 per cent in crimes against people and property last month compared to a year earlier.
There have also been double-digit decreases in robberies and thefts in the city. However, the number of attempted murders was up 40 per cent from November 2011.
The figures were released during a monthly Board of Police Commissioners meeting Wednesday.
Regina Police Chief Troy Hagen also addressed the fact that several of his officers were accused of assault this year, with the latest charge being laid yesterday.
He said the alleged incidents were isolated and that they are not part of a broader pattern.

Small beginnings. Detours along the way. Questions about how and when God is going to fulfill his purposes. We know the end of David's story, but David knew it only step by step. Like us, he had to follow God's path even when it seemed too slow. He had to believe that realizing our life's purpose is only the beginning of our calling, not the culmination of it. He had to trust that God sometimes allows years to go by between an anointing and a crown.
Things seem to be going well for Liv Silver: She's adjusting to her new home (and her new family) in London; she has a burgeoning romance with Henry Harper, one of the cutest boys in school; and the girl who's been turning her dreams into nightmares, Anabel, is now locked up. But serenity doesn't last for long. It seems that Liv's troubles are far from over - in fact, suddenly they're piling up.

As a part-time PI and full-time grim reaper, Charley Davidson has asked a lot of questions throughout her life: Why can I see dead people? Who is the hot supernatural entity following me? How do I get gum out of my sister's hair before she wakes up? But "how do I trap not one malevolent god but three?" was never among them. Until now. And since those gods are on earth to kill her daughter, she has little choice but to track them down, trap them, and cast them from this dimension. There's just one problem. One of the three stole her heart a very long time ago.

Voxengo TransGainer - Attack and sustain reshaping audio plugin.TransGainer, an audio AU and VST plugin suitable for a wide range of professional music production uses, implements an audio signal envelope adjustment algorithm that reacts on transients rather than on a signal's loudness level. This algorithm allows you to adjust volume of attack and sustain stages of any sounds you use it on. TransGainer was designed in a way to be suitable for all possible sound sources -- be it individual tracks or full mixes.
In many cases TransGainer can be used in place of gate and expander plug-ins while delivering a better sound and offering an easier control. Beside that, TransGainer can be used for audio recording restoration/re-mastering purposes and reverb tail modifications with excellent results.
TransGainer allows you to specify gain adjustments for a sound's transient and sustain stages separately. You can also choose an expected average time between transients so that algorithm delivers you the most precise results possible. With the help of TransGainer you can pass the border from good to excellent audio recordings.
Voxengo TransGainer 1.6 is licensed as Demo for the Windows operating system / platform. Voxengo TransGainer is provided as a free to try download for all software users (Demo).

Conventional RAID has lower overhead, but it is limited in the number of failures it can tolerate. And the management is like herding cats (overseeing capacity, rebuilds, migrations, and degraded performance).

Are you tipping more, less or the same today as you did a year ago?
|I'm tipping about the same.

|I'm tipping less.
|I don't tip.
fan4kufootball 8 years, 1 month ago
The thing that bothers me about tipping is that people just assume that they will receive a 15% - 20% tip without earning it. I tend to tip based upon the service received. I also wonder who came up with the idea that people should be tipped (like hair stylists) when their "per hour" rate is astronomical.
Michael Sizemore 8 years, 1 month ago
Poll - how many of you tip when you are picking up a "to-go" order?Most restaraunts print out the credit card slips with a place for a tip. I feel like a total cheapo crossing it out, so I end up putting a couple of bucks or whatever, which is usually 5-10% (which still makes me feel like a cheapo)...but I don't think 15-20% is warranted for carry out either.
Drew Alan 8 years, 1 month ago
Most people whose "per hour" rate is astronomical have a rate that high because most of what they earn goes to the company they work for and covering overheads (rent, salon products, etc) so while it might seem like all 40 dollars you spent on your haircut goes in your stylist's pocket, it's probably more like 15 dollars. Plus, I tip my hairstylist because she operates a small business and I have been a loyal customer and I think my haircut is worth the extra 5 bucks.
Celeste Plitz 8 years, 1 month ago
DGL, as someone who's made my living off of tips(pizza delivery) I make a real effort to tip well. However, if the service really stinks, I won't tip. A tip is for a job well-done, it is not for just "being there". I don't care if they are having a bad day, that doesn't mean they need to be rude and do their best to make sure my meal is miserable. There are plenty of times I've had a bad day and that did not translate to horrible customer service. Granted, this has happened only a couple of times, and I didn't feel guilty for not tipping. Any waiter or waitress should know that being a jerk will translate into "no tip". So if they are, then they shouldn't expect one.On the other hand, if my meal was terrible and stuff happens but the waiter or waitress does their best to make it better, I always leave a big tip. That's the kind of thing that tips are for. It is always in the back of my mind that these people make next to nothing and need tips. Only a truly horrible customer service situation warrents a "no tip" meal, but it has happened. Most of the time I won't go back to that resturaunt, either.
coolmom 8 years, 1 month ago
i have been going out a little less with 6 in the family it is expensive to go to resteraunts. i have never not tipped even though i should have done so a couple times and i tend to tip good but it is infuriating when you go out and get sucky food and lax service. i will tip better if it is obvious the server has too many tables but is working their rear off.
SloMo 8 years, 1 month ago
I've been ordering more appetizers as meals. Then I calculate the tip based on what a real entree would cost. That way, I save a little bit of money, but not at the servers' expense.
mr_economy 8 years, 1 month ago
Disposable,I feel the same guilt when I see the place for tip on carry-out receipts, but I have forced myself to take the logical way out - the only people who handled that food other than the cashier were the cooks, who would not receive any of the tip (having been a cook, I can say how frustrating it sometimes was that whether I cooked enough for 20 people or for 200, I was paid the same amount).
DGL 8 years, 1 month ago
To "thetagger" and "fan4kufootball": I'd like to see you live on $2.15 per hour when you have fine people like yourselves withholding tips. Are you financially penalized at your job when you have a bad day? And by the way, NO ONE would serve food if every person behaved the way you two do.
Kevin Sontag 8 years, 1 month ago
You don't tip while picking up a to-go order for the same reason you don't tip the guy at the McDonalds drive-thru. You don't tip someone because they hand you your food in a bag. You tip a waiter/waitress for getting your orders right, re-filling your drinks, making sure everything is OK (even though they always ask when you have a mouthful of food, and sometimes before you've taken the first bite!... but I digress.) And for those who automatically tip regardless of the quality of the service, Stop! You're screwing it up for the rest of us. If they think they'll automatically get tipped, there's no reason to do good work. If they only got tipped when they did a bang up job, then they would always do a bang up job (or else suffer a tip-free night).
BDub 8 years, 1 month ago
Tips should always be earned. Poor service should never be rewarded with a 15% tip - if it's really bad I won't even tip at all. It's difficult to do that poorly in my book, but it has happened once or twice. Generally, if service is exceptional I'll give 20% or a little more - if it's pretty bad I'll give 5%. I don't feel good about giving low tips, but if service is bad I feel like I need to let them know it.
labmonkey 8 years, 1 month ago
I was a cook at Sonic in high school and hated the fact that carhops were paid the same per hour as us, plus they always left with $10-20 in tips (and these were high school kids, not your single mom with 2 kids). I still tip even though I know this fact. At restraunts, unless service sucks, I leave 20-30%. (I did leave $1 once for a $30 order at Applebees when the waitress never made eye contact with us, tried to make us feel sorry for her by complaining how busy she was, and never refilled our drinks....I thought $1 would leave a stronger message than nothing).

Real Salt Lake: Captain Kyle Beckerman continues to play iron man minutes for RSL
Kristin Murphy, Deseret News
SANDY — Kyle Beckerman was back at it again Saturday.
Despite being dubbed "50-50" by coach Jason Kreis because of a sore hamstring, Real Salt Lake's captain remained in the starting lineup against the Houston Dynamo.
Between his appearances with RSL, the U.S. national team and the MLS All-Star game, Saturday's match was Beckerman's 10th in the past 37 days — a staggering amount of wear and tear.
He said he's trying to take it all in stride.
"I have no idea what day it is or what month we're in. We just keep on going. They tell me what time the game is and I show up," said Beckerman. "I just don't really think about it. I just keep on trucking, keep taking care of my body and ready to go. We know the summer is when we play a lot of soccer."
Beckerman started all 10 of those matches. Including Saturday's win, Beckerman's teams have gone 8-1-1 during that stretch — with the lone loss coming in the MLS All-Star game. The U.S. national team was 6-0 with Beckerman as a starter.
Kreis hopes to be creative in getting Beckerman some rest in the coming weeks.
"We're going to attempt to get him that rest through training this week. That's going to be my answer to that, because I think he's too important to be resting in a match," said Kreis.
LONG TIME COMING: When Real Salt Lake was awarded a penalty kick in the first half Saturday, you can bet Kreis was thinking, "It's about time."
The penalty kick was the first for RSL against Houston since Kreis himself buried a penalty kick at Houston in June 2006.
Since Kreis' conversion more than seven years ago, Houston had been awarded five PKs against Real Salt Lake over a six-year stretch, including two in the same game in 2010 and two in the same game in 2012.
All six penalty kicks in the rivalry had been called in Houston prior to Saturday.
DOMINATING DUO: Chris Wingert and Tony Beltran's importance to RSL has never been in question — the record speaks for itself.
With Saturday's win over Houston, Real Salt Lake improved to 10-0-1 when the two are in the starting lineup together.
Kreis said there's many different reasons why.
"Just the little things they do, the yard here or there to put themselves in the right spot to take out something that might be dangerous, intercepting passes before they get behind our back four," said Kreis.
After suspensions for each in the past month, and then international duty for Beltran, Kreis said he's hoping for more lineup stability in the coming months, which would be great news for RSL.

US pilot, passenger killed in Indonesia plane crash
A light aircraft crashed into a fence during take-off in eastern Indonesia on Wednesday, killing the US pilot and a passenger, police said.
The US-made Kodiak plane was carrying six passengers and was chartered to deliver humanitarian supplies to a remote district in Indonesia's easternmost Papua province.
Aircraft Lighting Systems Market Analysis: Interior Lighting Exterior Lighting (Navigation/Position,...
"The American pilot and an Indonesian passenger were killed in the accident. The aircraft partly caught fire," Papua province police spokesman Sulistyo Pudjo told AFP.
The plane crashed into a fence by the tarmac, he said, adding that five other passengers were injured, two of them seriously.
Indonesia, which relies heavily on air transport to connect its more than 17,000 islands, has one of Asia's worst aviation safety records.
The Indonesian region of Papua makes up the western half of New Guinea Island. People there rely on air transport in the absence of a substantial road network in the mountainous terrain with vast tracts of dense jungle.

Relevant offers
Auckland bus drivers who have already taken industrial action in a pay dispute have rejected yet another offer from their company.
The bus drivers have voted against a revised proposal from NZ Bus for their collective employment agreement - with 51 per cent against the settlement.
"After careful consideration of the offer, drivers are still of the view that they don't earn enough to provide for themselves and their families," said bus unions spokesman Karl Anderson.
He said the amount of money offered by the company and delayed pay increases are core issues for derivers.
Around 1000 NZ Bus drivers and cleaner, represented by four unions, have been embroiled in the pay dispute since July.
The unions say drivers earn between $14.05 and $16.75 an hour, with split shifts often keeping them away from home for long hours, and a pay offer from NZ Bus was inadequate.
The union have also previously rejected an improved company offer of 4.2 percent, 3.0 percent and 3.3 percent over three years.
The unions are considering their options and will make a decision on what steps need to be taken next week.

The Euro has been here since 1999 and we can pay with the European currency since 2002 but only now, seven years later, Google Adsense decided to acknowledge the Euro.
Users from the five countries have to update their account and accept the new license policies. One of the major changes is that Adsense for these users no longer falls under the Californian law, but on local law.

The Chicago Bears came into this offseason needing to fix two major problems: They had no go-to wide receiver, and the perennially disappointing offensive line needed to be overhauled. So far, they have addressed the first problem (though perhaps not in the smartest way), but Chicago continues to desperately need fresh blood on the offensive line.

It's funny, moving and true, and it respects the audience's intelligence as much as the characters'. That combination, no matter the movie's label, deserves to be treasured.
A rich and surprisingly old-fashioned musical biopic, The Runaways has neither the bloat nor the blather of your average Hollywood treatment of stars on the rise.
It's a small story set in a memorably desolate location. The actors, all quite magnificent, enlarge it, just as cinematographer Mikhail Krichman illuminates the vistas and roadways and even the furtive kitchen table glances between clandestine lovers.

Yes, Steve Carell can carry a movie. Yes, Judd Apatow can direct a movie. Yes, we'll all relate to a middle-aged virgin. And yes, when an aesthetician yells to her assistant "we're gonna need more wax," you best run.
Intoxicatingly well-crafted entertainment about hunting down your enemy.
Swift, vicious and grimly imaginative, the zombie film 28 Weeks Later exceeds its predecessor, "28 Days Later," in every way.
Bone-dry but completely assured, both in its visual strategy and its wry deconstruction of the workplace comedy genre.
The acting -- especially by Borrows, Ian Hart and Hackett -- is strong and transparent, utterly convincing. The whole movie has a seamless flow and an utterly convincing sense of time and place.
It's a movie drama with a surface so bleak and an interior so hot with eroticism that it twists your guts to watch it.
Creates an atmosphere of frenzy that is both powerful and unforgettable, providing neither solace nor comfort.

This film--one of the best and most memorable documentaries of the year so far--brings that truth-teller to us once again.
It is a fine little old-school thriller.
Once again, as love dies and illusions crumble, this natural actress (Isabelle Huppert) shines with human fire. [26 March 1999, Friday, p.B]
It's a movie imbued with a fierce intimacy -- a tone and style similar to cinema verite documentary -- but it's not a banal realism, even if the characters and settings in contemporary working-class Liege initially seem mundane.
It feels fresh and unpredictable, as quietly strange as the remarkable musical score from first-time feature film composer Mica Levi.

The movie scrambles our responses and covers so much ground, with such zest, that its two and a half hours race past like a firestorm.
Perhaps the most startling part is the realization that, in the turn-off-your-brain season of summer, you've just experienced an uncommonly serious-minded movie that's brave enough to engage our deepest emotions on issues of death, madness, illusion and forgiveness. That's the biggest thrill of them all.

I greatly prefer this cleverly sustained and efficiently relentless remake to the '73 edition. It is lean and simple.
In The Weather Man, Nicolas Cage, a great oddball movie star who sometimes takes enormous risks, has a good, risky part again.
For a film that points out so much wrong with German society and shows such dubious, dangerous behavior, it leaves the audience with high spirits and a sense of crazy exhilaration.
A film that art-house audiences in 1959 loved madly. And who can blame them? A buoyant, searingly colorful retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth set in Rio de Janiero, writer-director's Marcel Camus' movie is a romance heightened by its backdrop.
The movie looks like far more than a million dollars and it offers the kind of smart, picaresque good time you get from books like "The Reivers" and "Huckleberry Finn" and movies like "Bronco Billy" and "Bonnie and Clyde."
The storytelling is episodic, and the film takes a little while to get going, but it hits its stride.

Shot with a Peter Greenaway-like austere impudence and edited brilliantly (by Jed Parker), this is an entertaining movie, and a moving one--even if, like me, you're not especially fond of these paintings or that scene.
I prefer my horror with a chaser of wit, and Severance, a modest but very lively British import, serves it up in harsh but high style.
It is a film, often breathtaking without settling for being pretty, filled with nervous silence.
A deceptively simple French film about teaching that keeps enlarging as you watch it, becoming beautiful and inspiring in a way most films never touch.
The kind of well-crafted, character-driven work that wows regional film festival crowds and public television audiences but seldom gets seen outside those circles.
Get on Up hits all these high points. But the Butterworths fracture the order, fruitfully. They're more interested in making musical and dramatic connections across time and space — something in the '70s triggering a childhood memory, for example — than in laying them out predictably.

Bening shines, and the film shines too.
It's an intellectual family film for literate parents and children, immensely pleasing if not perfect, perhaps a smidgen too brightly evasive and determinedly charming.

Fast, funny, big-hearted.
Family life rarely is portrayed with such warmth, clarity and vibrancy as in In America.

A dear film, sentimental and fond, full of beautifully acted British resolve.
About the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but it treats war as a cosmic joke and its participants as hapless but recognizably human clowns.
Most movingly, Monsieur Ibrahim takes a provocative subject -- friendship and love between a Jew and a Muslim -- and makes it seem natural and wondrous.
Harris and Harden have real on-screen sympatico, in their nasty battles and good times alike.
Works beautifully, both as a social and psychological drama and as a taut, tightly wired thriller.
This exercise in racked nerves makes most of the year's thrillers look like flailing maniacs by comparison.
At her best—and even in a hand-me-down project like Point Break—Bigelow is a uniquely talented, uniquely powerful filmmaker. Where the male action directors are still playing with toys-with dolls and models and matte shots-Bigelow has tapped into something primal and strong.

Seemingly a simple comedy, it actually -- like all Allen's "simple" comedies -- has a lot to say. Will the audience listen or just dismiss it as minor, out-of-date Woody? If they do, it's their loss.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Jan. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --WRAPmail, Inc. (OTC: WRAP) announced today that it has completed developing its affinity solution where fans of sports teams and celebrities/artists can purchase a licensed WRAP (interactive email template) to use with their regular emails to show their affinity to their team or favorite celebrities or artists. WRAPmail already has an agreement with a European soccer team that will be the first to offer its affinity solution to its fans.
"The idea came to us by looking at the massive fan bases for many sports teams and celebrities" says Rolv E. Heggenhougen, WRAPmail's CEO. CEO Heggenhougen further states that "some of these have tens of millions of fans, only a small adoption of which could potentially generate significant revenues for those involved". "This could also be a potentially huge revenue generator for the teams and celebrities/artists if hundreds of thousands or millions of fans become their marketers" concludes CEO Heggenhougen.
Now that the system is developed, WRAPmail's next step is to consummate more agreements with sports teams and celebrities to start marketing this to their respective fan bases. Anyone interested in such an agreement may contact [email protected].
These WRAPS will feature the team and/or favorite players, the celebrity and also ticket sales and merchandise sales, effectively turning fans into marketers. The WRAPS will also be able to be customized by the user with their own image, text and link (contingent upon the approval of the sports team or celebrity).
Pricing is not yet established, however, WRAPmail expects but that the cost of an official, licensed WRAP will be about the same as the cost of a t-shirt. Just like fans wear t-shirts they will with this solution be able to "wear" their favorite WRAP around all their regular emails.
WRAPmail will share in the revenue generated from the sale of these WRAPS with the team or celebrity/artist and expect not only to generate significant potential revenue for both parties but also be able to drive new revenue for the teams and celebrities. Every email sent by a user will help promote anything sold by the team or celebrity with potentially millions of emails sent daily by fans.
WRAPmail has noticed that some celebrities have over 30 million fans on Facebook alone, only a 1% adoption of which could generate about 3 million impressions daily (based upon 300 thousand users sending an average of 10 emails each per day).
The idea behind WRAPmail's email marketing approach is to utilize the everyday realities that almost everyone has a website, social network site(s) and also sends emails every day. These emails can become complete marketing tools and help promote, brand, sell and cross-sell in addition to drive traffic to the websites and help conduct marketing research (through tracking analysis). WRAPmail is available for free (with 3rd party ads) or for a license fee. No routines change as users simply download a toolbar for their webmail (Gmail, AOL, Yahoo, Microsoft LIVE/Hotmail etc.) or route emails via Google or WRAPmail's servers. While the focus is on one-and one email, WRAPmail also offers an Enterprise solution where clients can send unlimited email campaigns using the same technology that avoids the RED X when emails arrive. WRAPmail's solutions are built so that recipients immediately see images and are not as quick to discard the email due to the lack of seeing anything enticing or for being afraid of viruses when they would otherwise download the images.
Anyone can sign up for WRAPmail for free at www.wrapmail.com
WRAPmail's revenue models are advertising revenue through its own Ad Network where users can advertise in other user's emails (predominantly in the free user's emails), license fees from ad-free and Enterprise clients, Custom WRAP Design, per mail sent fee for email campaigns and Premium licensed Sports Team and Celebrity WRAP Sales to Fans.
WRAPmail is a Google Apps vendor and also compatible with Google Analytics.
Furthermore, WRAPmail helps search for missing children with every email sent by free users by incorporating an RSS feed from the Center for Missing and Exploited Children – see Huffington Post article by clicking here.
