The spring semester brings a new way for University of Wisconsin-Stout students, faculty, staff, alumni and the public to get information about campus.
A free, new mobile application is available for iPhones, Android and BlackBerry smartphones that officials say will allow access to important information anytime and just about anywhere.
"UW-Stout has once again shown it is a technology leader by delivering a comprehensive and easy-to-use app that will be a hit, both on campus and off," Chancellor Charles W. Sorensen said. "We took our time to develop this app, and we did it right."
A UW-Stout committee worked with AT&T Campus Guide to develop the app, which replaces a mobile site that has been available since the recent UW-Stout website redesign.
"Since we'd recently completed a redesign that includes a mobile site, we started with that content," said Barbara Button, UW-Stout Web coordinator. "Then we looked at our own website usage statistics, reviewed the mobile apps from other universities and worked with our Web Oversight Committee to finalize the app content."
"During our website redesign process, we were told we needed a mobile app for the campus, even though we had developed a mobile website as part of that project," said Kay Schnur, director of enterprise information systems. "The AT&T Campus Guide app provided us with a solution that was agile and can grow with changes."
The app allows students and other users to access course schedules, maps, athletic information, key numbers, admissions and much more. Students also can make tuition payments with the app.
It is expected that two of the most popular features will be a bus tracker that shows the real-time location of buses on both the campus shuttle and the north-south routes in Menomonie, and another that shows what washers and dryers in the residence halls are in use and how much time remains on their cycles.
"I assume students will use the bus tracker, laundry, events and their course information features the most," Schnur said. "Faculty and staff will like the bus tracker, events and the directory search. The public and prospective students will find the admissions, directory, events, calendar and maps features very useful."
"This mobile initiative is a great example of our valuable collaboration with Wisconsin's universities, and the UW-Stout community will get to experience the benefits at the moment they download the app to their phones," said Scott VanderSanden, president of AT&T Wisconsin.
"The web profession is buzzing with the reality that websites need to optimize their content and features for mobile users," Button said, "to the extent that many experts are advocating that sites be designed for mobile first, with traditional computer users becoming a secondary audience. We can see this trend in our statistics, as mobile access to our website is increasing every month."
"Mobility is key for students, and universities are addressing that with mobile apps," Schnur added.
The app is available for just smartphones now, but it will work, for instance, on tablets. AT&T Campus Guide plans to add more platforms, including tablets, in the future, Schnur said, and UW-Stout will add more features, such as the ability to access course assignments, as the mobile app develops. She added that the ability to enhance the mobile app with new features was an important part of the decision to use AT&T Campus Guide.
"The world is going mobile, touch devices are saturating the marketplace, and we wanted to better serve our students," Button concluded.

It is available through the Apple App Store, Google Play and BlackBerry App World. Apple, Google, and BlackBerry are trademarks of their respective owners.
Big Data engines are powering a lot of service businesses right now. Data is collected from users from wearable technologies, web behaviors, purchase behavior as well as several arbitrary data points we'd never think of. The demand for faster and bigger engines to crunch and serve up the data to services is growing exponentially.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Much of IT terminology is often misused and misapplied. Modernization and transformation are two such terms. They are often used interchangeably even though they mean different things and have very different connotations. Indeed, it is somewhat safe to assume that in IT any transformative effort is likely to also have a modernizing effect, and thus, we can see these as levels of improvement efforts. However, many businesses are being led to believe if they don't transform now they risk becoming ...

McCartney, Chili Peppers to play Outside Lands

Disenchanted with Coachella this year? Maybe Outside Lands will suit you better.
The three-day festival in San Francisco, Aug. 9-11 in Golden Gate Park, has nabbed impressive names, including previous Indio headliner Paul McCartney, current closers Phoenix and Red Hot Chili Peppers, and a proper set from Nine Inch Nails, rather than Trent Reznor's new project How to Destroy Angels.
Several of this year's Coachella attractions will turn up at OSL this summer as well, including Vampire Weekend, Jurassic 5, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Pretty Lights, Grizzly Bear, Band of Horses, Yeasayer, Foals, Jessie Ware, Youth Lagoon and Kurt Vile.
But then there's a long list of acts Coachella lacks, among them another rare appearance from resurrected soul star D'Angelo, O.C. bands Young the Giant and the Growlers, the Head and the Heart, Matt & Kim, Dawes, Trombone Shorty, Gary Clark Jr., Wavves, Fishbone and Camper Van Beethoven. Add to that three groups that have Southern California dates around the same time as the festival: the National, Willie Nelson & Family and Daryl Hall & John Oates.
Also on the horizon is the list of food vendors, as Outside Lands bills itself as "the only gourmet music festival." (I think the folks at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival might quibble with that claim.)
"Eager Beaver" tickets sold out a while ago, but remaining three-day passes, $235 apiece, go on sale Thursday, April 18, at noon. VIP tickets are $545.

A novel selective synthesis of the unsymmetrically substituted tetrathiafulvalene dimethyltrimethylene-tetrathiafulvalene (DMtTTF) is described together with its electrocrystallization to the known conducting mixed-valence ClO4– and ReO4– salts. Infrared (IR) and Raman spectra of the two isostructural quasi-one-dimensional cation radical salts (DMtTTF)2X (X = ReO4–, ClO4–) are investigated as a function of temperature (T = 5–300 K). At ambient temperature, these salts show metallic-like properties and below Tρ = 100–150 K, they undergo a smeared transition to semiconducting state. To study this charge localization, we measured temperature dependence of polarized IR reflectance spectra (700–16 000 cm–1) and Raman spectra (150–3500 cm–1, excitation λ = 632.8 nm) of single crystals. For both compounds, the Raman data and especially the bands related to the C=C stretching vibration of the DMtTTF molecule show that the charge distribution on molecules is uniform down to the lowest temperatures. Similarly, IR data confirm that down to the lowest temperatures, there is neither charge ordering nor important modification of the electronic structure. However, the temperature dependence of Raman spectra of both salts reveals a regime change at about 150 K. Additionally, using Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods, the normal vibrational modes of the neutral DMtTTF0 and cationic DMtTTF+ species and also their theoretical IR and Raman spectra were calculated. The theoretical data were compared with the experimental IR and Raman spectra of neutral DMtTTF0 molecule. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

BOSTON, MA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/18/14 -- Home energy management (HEM) -- technologies that give residential customers energy dashboards, user advice, and automated and adaptive controls, among other features -- is emerging as the next frontier for forward-thinking utilities. HEM can drive energy savings from 1.5% to more than 40%, but their value to utilities goes beyond savings -- to customer engagement, competitive differentiation, and demand response, according to Lux Research.
To maintain their edge in competitive markets, utilities are increasingly partnering with HEM technology companies such as Opower and EcoFactor to engage with residential consumers. However, telecom companies like Deutsche Telekom and even technology companies like Google are also getting into the HEM mix, threatening to shake up residential electricity markets.
"The last 12 months have seen a flurry of investment activity in the HEM space. California-based Nest Labs was recently acquired by Google for an astronomical $3.2 billion, and Control4 found sky-high valuation with its IPO last August," pointed out Alex Herceg, Lux Research Analyst and the lead author of the report titled, "Master of the House: Cutting through the Hype in the Frenzied Home Energy Management Space."
"These investments illustrate clear interest in bringing automation and the Internet of Things into the home, and the critical role it will play in energy markets," he added.
Lux Research analysts evaluated the U.S., European and Asian markets for HEM suitability and analyzed the leading start-ups in the field. Among their findings:
- The largest opportunity exists in the developed world. While housing stocks are growing most rapidly in developing countries like India and China, 90% of the HEM opportunities lie in retrofits in existing homes, making rich markets like the U.S. and Western Europe most attractive.
- Customer engagement is the broader goal. Utility revenues are huge -- around $265 billion in Europe, $370 billion in the U.S., and $1 trillion in Asia. In order to stay competitive, utilities are spending less than 1% of revenues on HEM to engage with customers via energy dashboards and in-home display panels.
- Automated meters, rates and renewable energy mix are key. The success of HEM will depend on three key factors -- automated metering infrastructure, electricity rate structures and renewable energy supply mix through 2020. Asia is ripe for HEM but lacks a renewable mix. European states are subject to directives to equip 80% of consumers with intelligent metering systems by 2020.
The report, titled "Master of the House: Cutting through the Hype in the Frenzied Home Energy Management Space," is part of the Lux Research Efficient Building Systems Intelligence service.

Much of IT terminology is often misused and misapplied. Modernization and transformation are two such terms. They are often used interchangeably even though they mean different things and have very different connotations. Indeed, it is somewhat safe to assume that in IT any transformative effort is likely to also have a modernizing effect, and thus, we can see these as levels of improvement efforts. However, many businesses are being led to believe if they don't transform now they risk becoming ...

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.

Now, if someone want to upload a new jsp to a particular tomcat say /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/myapp is where the jsp will be uploaded to. I want the first select menu to provide the list of all the tomcat instances on the server(This I have done successfully). The second select menu should contain all the applications under the selected tomcat instance from the first menu select. so if I select tomcat5, the second select menu should load automatically all the applications under tomcat5. I know there is a javascript function that can do something like that (onchange or so). But how can I do this? Any help will be appreciated much. I have my two menu select with the code below: print &ui_table_row($text{'inst_select'}, &ui_select("inst", $in{'inst'}, [ map { [ $_ ] } @insts ] ) ); This is not working yet. print &ui_table_row( $text{'select_app'}, &ui_select("ap", $in{'inst'}, [ map { [ $_ ] } @apps ] ) ); I will be using the two select menu to construct the directory to which the jsp is to be saved.

LOGAN, Utah - Utah State coaches Bill Busch and Kendrick Shaver have been included among six finalists for FootballScoop's Defensive Backs Coach of the Year award, presented by ProGrass.
The award, given by the only organization recognizing position coaches, will be chosen by previous winners and will be announced at the American Football Coaches Association's annual convention in January.
Busch is in his fourth season at Utah State, serving as associate head coach and overseeing the special teams and safeties. Shaver joined the Aggie staff in February, 2011 where he serves as the cornerbacks coach. Prior to coming to Utah State, he spent four seasons as the secondary coach at Northern Colorado.
The Aggie defense has been crucial in the season's success as they held opponents to just over 15 points a game. At the end of the regular season, Utah State leads the Western Athletic Conference in scoring defense (15.4 ppg), total defense (332.7 ypg) and passing defense (211.2 ypg).
Shaver and Busch have helped senior cornerback Will Davis to his star season, as he is second in the WAC and tied for ninth nationally in interceptions with five. He is also first in the WAC and nation in passes defended with 21.
Previous winners of the Defensive Backs Coach of the Year award are Tim Billings (Wake Forest, 2008), Everett Withers and Troy Douglas (North Carolina, 2009), Chad Glasgow and Clay Jennings (TCU, 2010) and Ron Cooper (LSU, 2011).
Tickets for the 2012 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl are available by contacting the USU Ticket Office at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum, or by phone by calling 1-888-USTATE-1 or (435) 797-0305. Tickets can also be purchased 24 hours a day at www.UtahStateAggies.com.
Fans can follow the Aggie football program at twitter.com/USUFootball. Aggie fans can also follow the Utah State athletic program at twitter.com/USUAthletics or on facebook at Utah State University Athletics.

Excellent 4.1 /5 from 1017 reviews
Really convenient location to get to Heathrow but close enough to the city center for some last minute sight seeing...
There was no soap in the room. Asked for soap, they never delivered. There was only shampoo (no body wash or conditioner). The air conditioning doesn't work well. Otherwise the room is okay.
Hotel is gross. All carpets in halls and room were old and dirty. Fold out couch was disgusting. Still can't believe it cost $200 a night. Awful!
The room was quite old, bathroom was all the time smelling
I stay here for a conference at Olympia every year. Near Hammersmith tube station, so location is great. Good food nearby. Looking forward to my stay there again next year.

A jewelry exhibit at the posh Carlton Hotel in Cannes was held up on Sunday and an estimated $53 million worth of goods was swiped. It was the third such heist in the French Riviera resort in as many months.
A police spokesman, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, says one or more thieves took the jewels around noon on Sunday, but it wasn't immediately clear if they were armed.
The robber or robbers reportedly made off with the jewels in a briefcase, but there were no other details immediately available.
The heist follows two such thefts in Cannes in May – one that nabbed $1 million worth of jewels from the hotel room of an employee of an exclusive Swiss jeweler and another that got away with a Swiss-designed necklace worth $2.5 million at a celebrity party at another five-star hotel in the city.
It could be pure coincidence, but as we reported last week, Bosnian jewel thief Milan Poparic broke out of a Swiss prison on Friday in a daring escape that involved all the elements of a Hollywood thriller, including a van ramming the gate. Poparic was the third member of the so-called 'Pink Panther' gang to escape since May.

What do you think about the Seven Sharp line-up?
Relevant offers
Ali Mau, Greg Boyed and Jesse Mulligan will present TVNZ's Close Up replacement, Seven Sharp.
"We have brought together an enthusiastic team of presenters with unsurpassed news and current affairs credentials and the proven ability to be entertaining,'' TVNZ head of news and current affairs Ross Dagan said as he announced the positions today.
''We are confident this team will tell compelling stories in a refreshing way that will engage New Zealand viewers.''
He said the new show would reflect the day's events with ''smart thinking, different viewpoints, and plenty of laughs along the way''.
Fair Go co-presenter Mau said she would miss working alongside her consumer show colleagues but was excited about the new show.
"I'm thrilled to be part of this, particularly as the Seven Sharp team is such a strong one both journalistically and creatively.
"I'm really looking forward to working alongside Greg and Jesse in the studio, both of whom bring a wicked sense of humour and depth of knowledge to the show."
Boyed, a One News and Q+A host, said he was looking forward to being part of a "brand spanking new show and having a bit of a rant and a ramble in a way that I perhaps wasn't able to in my most recent roles".
Mulligan, a writer and panellist on TV3's 7 Days, said the show was a "cool and unique opportunity".
Seven Sharp executive producer Raewyn Rasch said although the show was still weeks away from airing content was already being produced.
"We are well advanced in the production planning stages of Seven Sharp, and have a great catalogue of stories already underway that we are raring to go with. We are really excited at the shape the show is taking."
TVNZ said Mau and Boyd's replacements in their previous roles would be announced in coming weeks.

"When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper which should have been gold, are a token of honor -- your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money." ~ Ayn Rand

Now the teacher at Inner Light & Soul Yoga, Gina leads groups of about 16 yogis through the bends and stretches of Kripalu yoga.

Product Description:
Willie Nelson was always too complex an artist to be pigeonholed by a tag like country singer, or even country songwriter. His style incorporates elements of jazz, folk, blues, R&B and rock & roll as well. Nowhere was his musical versatility more apparent than on the series of albums he recorded that featured his versions of pop standards. The most aesthetically and commerically successful of these is undoubtedly STARDUST, but WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD also makes a convicing case for Nelson as pop balladeer.
Nelson's craggy, emotive voice is the kind of instrument many cabaret singer would kill for. It's expressiveness enables him to breathe life into whatever he sings, an ability that served him in good stead throughout every phase of his career. Here, tackling standards like "Spanish Eyes" (a duet with Julio Iglesias), "To Each His Own" and the Johnny Mercer classic "Ac-cen-tchu-ate the Positive," he sounds perfectly at ease, delivering the lyrics with comfort and authority.

More bonus art and information available over at the Tock the Gnome Patreon page!
This time featuring pencil work on the new site header, a bonus illustration with prose about something special Onna has within her (be curious!) and a comicy sketch of Tock talking about one of her ex's.
If you like Tock story so far, please consider contributing! All support is appreciated ~~~<3
Small progress on a test piece for night scenes
Also, linework for page 69 is done, colorwork started today. Huzzah!
For my father-in-law, for Father's Day last week.
Curious as to what's going on with this significant-looking Onna hug? Keep reading the comic ;p
Also, if you like Tock's story and world, please consider contributing to it's Patreon❤
I've been doing a very slow read/study of Brian Froud's books over the last few years, and recently finished his famous work with Alan Lee,, "Faeries." I enjoyed it very much, of course, but the quote above comes from a page near the back of the book – and it, of course, struck me hard. The information preceding it seems to imply that they're talking about archeological finds in which tiny humanoid skeletons were discovered, but they identifed them as Gnomes and decided that for the purposes of their book, they do not exist.
What? No. Nope. No no no.
So here is Tock, in defiance. I still adore and respect both Misters Froud and Lee, but strongly disagree with them. Tock, and other Gnomes, will ever be important in my Faerie work. And from and even more personal standpoint, I feel that Gnomes are True
Art © Rachel Terwilliger. Quote © Froud and Lee.
Bonus sketch on the same day as a page update? Gasp!
First technically official drawing of all the crew of the Bucket together! Tock and Onna dancing, Eunan and his tea, Actia and her opinions, and Bumble and a hurdy gurdy (and his opinions too).
Curious as to who these mysterious characters are that haven't been introduced yet? Keep reading ;p Or for sneak peeks, check out the "Tock the Gnome" patreon page!

Vintage Tom Wolfe, the #1 bestseller that will forever define late-twentieth-century New York style. "No one has portrayed New York Society this accurately and devastatingly since Edith Wharton" (The National Review)
Tom Wolfe is the author of a dozen books, among them such contemporary classics as The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test and I Am Charlotte Simmons. He lives in New York City. Tom Wolfe's first novel remains a definitive work of American fiction after more than twenty years in print. It looks at the greed and racism on New York City's underbelly in the 1980s through the eyes of four fictional individuals, composites of characteristics that Wolfe observed in society. The Bonfire of the Vanities represents Wolfe's appreciation for minute and surprising details of American culture.
"A big, bitter, funny, craftily-plotted book that grabs you by the lapels and won't let you go."The New York Times Book Review
"A superb human comedy and the first novel ever to get contemporary New York, in all its arrogance and shame and heterogeneity and insularity, exactly right."The Washington Post Book World
"Nasty, satirical, probing, and dead-on accurate . . . Wolfe falls so naturally into this colorful, supercharged account of New York high life and low life that it's hard to believe he hasn't been writing fiction all life . . . It also reads at a veritable gallopthose pages flash by you as you watch, with fascinated horror, the meticulously charted fall of Sherman McCoy."The Seattle Times
"The Bonfire of the Vanities chronicles the collapse of a Wall Street bond trader, and examines a world in which fortunes are made and lost at the blink of a computer screen . . . Wolfe's subject couldn't be more topical: New Yorkers' relentless pursuit and flaunting of wealth, and the fury it evokes in the have-nots."USA Today
"Touches passionately on perennial themes that will give it staying power . . . Bonfire is news that will stay news because a century hence readers will find preserved in it the strong flavor of some unfortunately important slices of life in our time."George F. Will

Blogs Liberty and Power Go Directly to JailNov 29, 2004 1:22 pm
Go Directly to Jail
Cato has just released a new book on the crisis of overcriminalization, edited by, uh, me. The book's called Go Directly to Jail: The Criminalization of Almost Everything. The criminal law used to be society's last line of defense--reserved for behavior that everyone recognized as seriously wrong. Now it's becoming Congress's first line of attack--a way for legislators to show they're serious about whatever social problem is currently making headlines, whether it's corporate scandals or email spam. The results are a burgeoning prison population, unchecked prosecutorial power, and a growing threat to the rule of law.
The book focuses on three trends in particular:
1. Overcriminalization: the use of the criminal law to punish behavior that used to be handled with civil lawsuits or fines, or even to cover behavior that's just none of the government's business.
2. Runaway federalization of crime. The Constitution leaves the ordinary administration of criminal justice to the states. Yet the federal government increasingly over the last 30 years has started to take over the prosecution of street crime. There are only three federal crimes in the Constitution. But today there are over 4,000 federal crimes. That in itself is a crime against the Constitution.
3. The use of heavy-handed criminal law enforcement tactics against people guilty of minor offenses at worst and in some cases people who aren't guilty of crimes at all.
The book has something for everyone. Conservatives will appreciate the focus on the rule of law and the dangers of leaving ordinary businesspeople at the mercy of prosecutorial whims. Liberals will appreciate the extended treatment of mandatory minimums and the impact of the drug war. Pick up a copy here. If you have a blog, I'd appreciate it if you would spread the word.
Incidentally, I'm upset that they cut the cigarette out of the cover photo.

I look forward to getting a copy of the text and reading it. With permission I may even use it in the philosophy portion of my international criminal law class?
Incidentally...did you cover the effects of the philosophy of legal positivism on criminalization (which is directly related to Dr. Dresner;s point about totalitarian states, all of which operated from a positivistic bent)?
Jonathan Dresner - 11/29/2004
It is indeed a subject worth serious discussion. I'm a die-hard liberal historian who nonetheless teaches that the totalitarian states of the 20th century were natural outgrowths of the evolution of "liberal democracy" from restraint to stewardship, an evolution that continues.
I agree about the cigarette, too: it would have been a nice touch, tieing together the criminalization of social vice and the inherently unhealthy aspects of prison experiences...

Hôtel du Rond-Point des Champs Elysées - Paris
No Heating in the Winter - and No Warning About It! This would have been a great hotel, had its manager been even remotely professional. We arrived for a two night stay, and barely slept the first night, shivering in the cold. The radiators weren't working. When we spoke to the concierge, he told us that the heating wasn't working yet. Hmm... mid October and 10 degrees outside, and at a cost of Euros 230 a night, and no heating? We asked him why we weren't informed that there was no heating available before we arrived and he shrugged and said that the weather had only just turned cold. He agreed that it was not professional not to inform guests that the heating wasn't on. When we asked what could be done about it, he said, "nothing, I'm afraid, it won't be fixed until Monday." I asked him to phone his manager and see if we could be relocated to another hotel, as we were only there for the weekend, or given a discount for the Euros 560 we were obliged to pay in advance, upon arriving at the hotel. He did so, and the manager clearly couldn't care less. The manager refused to relocate us or provide a discount, and instead instructed the concierge to go to the basement to get some extra blankets. It has t be said, both the concierges we met in the hotel were nice throughout our stay. But it was so cold that condensation built up on the inside of the windows the following morning. No apology. No relocation. No electric heater. No discount for not letting us know about the heating situation before we came or before charging us for our entire stay upfront? No. A complimentary meal? No. Any civility? No. On top of this, the hot water ran out after my husband had a shower, meaning there was no hot water for me or my son and the street was very noisy. Clearly this manager does not care about guests at all.
Hôtel du Rond-Point des Champs Elysées - Paris
great location, good size rooms , clean and friendly.Air conditioning is primitive when available. I would be cautious during summertime.
