The best about this self catering establishment is its close proximity to Addo. It is very basic and run in a very environment-friendly manner. They like to recycle.

Men's Exclusive has lost his last four starts since winning the Palos Verdes Handicap at Santa Anita in January, but conditioner Wesley Ward is confident the 8-year-old gelding will run big in defense of his crown in the $100,000 Vernon Underwood Stakes (gr. III) at six furlongs Sunday.No horse has won the Underwood twice in 20 previous runnings, although Men's Exclusive came close, finishing second to Paying Dues in 1996. Ward has kept the old-timer going for owner-breeder H.E. Reed, winning nine of 34 starts and earnings of $1,111,758. Laffit Pincay, Jr., will get the mount. Challenging Men's Exclusive will be Forrest Camp who received the green light from trainer Eduardo Inda after working four furlongs in :47.40 Wednesday. Chris McCarron has the call on the 4-year-old sprinter.Other possibilities include: Beaumes De Venise; Elaborate; Lake William; Morocco; Shadow Caster; Tavasco; Top Hit; and Very Caerleon.

While classroom technology continues to grow in popularity, according to a survey conducted by GfK on behalf of Samsung Business, K-12 teachers are having trouble keeping up. By redefining professional development for the curriculum of the future, teachers will have the skills and resources necessary to help students thrive. The Teaching Tech to Teachers Infographic illustrates the survey findings and provides Samsung's recommendations for improved professional development programs.
Today's Classrooms
With Chromebooks, tablets, interactive whiteboards apps and more, technology is becoming an increasingly important part of today's K-12 classrooms. School districts are rapidly adopting these new digital tools and teachers agree that making this transition is critical to improving learning outcomes:
81% of teachers agree that tech in the classroom enables students to get more hands-on experience during lessons.90% of teachers believe that modern technology in the classroom is important to achieve success.
However even with so much technology at their fingertips, K-12 teachers need help to effectively use these devices to motivate their students and enhance their lessons:
37% would "love" to use technology in the classroom but say they support they simply do not know how.Nearly one-third are not satisfied with the receive from their schools in integrating technology into the classroom (32").60% agree they would like to better integrate technology but need more training.

Vermont Legislature Considers School Discipline Oversight Bill.
The Rutland (VT) Herald (2/21) reports that the Vermont legislature is exploring solutions "to break the link between poverty and lack of education" by way of "a bill that would provide better oversight for school discipline practices." The measure "would establish a school discipline advisory council to review practices in the state's K-12 schools, with an overall goal of reducing the number of students suspended or expelled." The article cites ED data pointing to several thousands of suspensions in the state in the 2011-12 school year.

Mel Riddile's curator insight, February 23, 2015 10:07 AM
Principals want to reduce discipline problems and suspensions, but districts are increasingly removing or significantly cutting resources needed to offer alternatives.
The underlying assumption here is that principals are acting irresponsibly by unduley punishing students, particularly minority students. The message to principals--we don't trust you.

As more and more educational institutions are incorporating tinkering and "maker mindset" into their educational programs, the processes leading up to that incorporation vary broadly. In some schools, spaces for "making" and tinkering are outfitted before any programmatic discussions take place among the faculty (top-down). On others, a few teachers band together and develop a makerspace with little institutional support (bottom-up).

An ever-present worry for teachers through the summer months is that students will relax a little TOO much over the break. While it can be tempting to try to micromanage students' summer learning with packets and reading lists, there are tons of resources available online that can keep your students' brains active and their enthusiasm high. Take a step back and let students drive their own learning this summer. Here are five ways you can help students' excitement, motivation, and passion for engaging activities fuel their learning through the summer months.

Is Ubuntu Animosity Misplaced?
As for the feelings of the Linux community in general, the consensus is that it felt like GNOME was somehow being slighted or ignored. Remember early on, Ubuntu was a GNOME-centric experience. While today, Ubuntu is most definitely Unity-centric instead. Obviously alternative desktop environments are a mere "apt-get install" away, but most people will use Ubuntu because they're fans of the entire experience – end to end.

When I went to Hawaii, I had prebooked cars at super rates through other sources for each of four islands. I couldn't get Priceline to match the prices or certainly not to beat them. But as I got just one week before departure, I was able to replace them with even better deals on Priceline. When I had tried earlier, I was turned down for my offers with Priceline, but last minute, I got what I wanted. It's pretty clear when you bid, as they show you a final price with all fees and taxes added.
Report Abuse
I used a local Hawaiian travel agent to get the best rates. The other websites were quoting much higher prices, including Priceline and Hotwire.
Report Abuse
I used discounthawaiicarrentals.com on my last trip and got a nice intermediate from Avis, take a look at their pricing, this was in Lihue.
Report Abuse
jamie, How far in advance did you book using DHCR? Thanks.
Report Abuse
Try Avis with rate code K816401. Also it's about $130 less to rent from Avis Kauai Hyatt than from the airport, due to airport fees. Not sure what transpo to the Hyatt will cost you (taxi approx $55) or if the Hyatt Avis office is open at your desired pickup time. (Note you can book the car to return to Lihue airport/no extra charge, so your taxi fee is just one way.).
Report Abuse
Hi, I have been monitoring the rental prices far a car for our trip to oahu March 1-10. I usually use hotwire or priceline for booking cars using the name your own price. Usually we go duing low season so the car rentals are pretty cheap. This year though all car rentals even for a compact car were about 40-50 bucks a day and when you add in the tax - it's much more than I usually pay (for example I have rented mid size SUVs in Oahu for about 20 bucks a day).
Today though, I was lucky to get a hotwire alert that prices have gone down....I managed to reserve a mid size SUV from Alamo for 19/day on priceline. I didn't even have to use the name your own price. Amazing price considering everyone else is advertising for over 50/day for same size car. I am not sure why it's so cheap...maybe a bunch of cancellations?
Anyways, since you are so close to your travel date, it's a good idea to use priceline. I have used it with much success.
Report Abuse
wekewoody, I usually book my rental cars right after I book my flight, or no more than a week later. If traveling during a busy time such as Christmas or Easter, then can run out, someone over on TA posted about renting a U-Haul on Kauai cause they were all out of rental cars.
Report Abuse
LOL about the U-Haul. That must have been fun to park at Ke'e.
I put in a request with discounthawaiicarrentals. We'll see what they come up with. Thanks.
Report Abuse
Had a prebooked at Discounthawaiicarrentals and looks like that will be the best deal. As we get closer prices are higher. We got compact for Jan13 to Feb 01 for $610.00 so I think that is good.
Thanks again everyone

Virgil Griffith
Griffith — the subject of a profile in this weekend's NY Times magazine — is the disruptive technologist behind WikiScanner who says that one of his missions in life is "to create minor public-relations disasters for companies and organizations I dislike."
"The hacker high life — girls, notoriety, White Russians — can be hard to resist," writes Virginia Heffernan. "Girls hang on Virgil Griffith. This is no exaggeration. At parties, they cling to the arms of the 25-year-old hacker whose reason for being, he says, is to 'make the Internet a better and more interesting place.' " She's witnessed the fandom and unusual drink choice first hand, and describes how at a recent tech conference, "Griffith, enjoying a White Russian that I first mistook for chocolate milk, reveled in the attention of his female fans. He smiled broadly. He seemed like a young Henry Kissinger, but sweet, or Arthur Fonzarelli, but not a dropout." What do girls like more, his hacking skillz or cutey-pie dimples?

Setting up a deployment process on the cloud means a variety of choices. Most likely you're prepared to make some tradeoffs. But getting a view across these potential tradeoffs can be difficult. Here are six popular deployments and advice for making the best choice for your organization's needs.
Let's assume you want a deployment for a small startup with fewer than 20 developers, each needing to host a web app that's gaining traction and for which rapid growth is expected. Its requirements are as follows:
- Autoscaling support to handle expected surges in demand
- Maximizing developer efficiency by automating tedious tasks and improving dev flow
- Encouraging mature processes for building a stable foundation as the codebase grows
- Maintaining flexibility and agility to handle hotfixes of a relatively immature codebase
- Counting on a few sources to fail, because any of them can cause deployment failure - imagine GitHub failing or a required plugin becoming unavailable
Narrowing the focus a bit more, let's assume the codebase is using Ruby on Rails, as is often the case. We'll examine various deployment choices in detail, walk through a thorough analysis and then provide recommendations for anyone that fits our sample client profile.
1. The Plain Vanilla AMI Method
Amazon OpsWorks: This proven deployment is a well-tested Amazon OpsWorks Standard recommendation. Each time a new node comes up fresh, it requires running all Chef recipes. To automate this process, Cloud-init is used to run scripts for handling code and environment updates that occur when running nodes.
Pros: This approach requires no AMI management. The process is straightforward, self-documenting and brings up a clean environment every time. Updates and patches are applied very quickly.
Cons: Bringing up new instances is extremely slow, there are many moving parts, and there's a high risk of failure.
Bottom Line: While this is a clean solution, the frequent-failure rate and amount of time needed for bringup makes the Plain Vanilla AMI impractical for a use case with autoscaling.
2. The Bake-Everything AMI Method
This deployment option is proven to work at Amazon Video and Netflix. It runs all Chef recipes once, fetches the codebase and then bakes and uses the AMI. Each change requires a new AMI and an ASG replacement within the ELB, including code and environment changes.
Keep in mind that the environment and configuration management parts of the deployment still need automation using tools like Chef and Puppet. Lack of automation can otherwise make AMI management a nightmare, as one tends to lose track of how the environment actually looks within the AMI.
Pros: Provides the fastest bringup, requires no installation, and includes the fewest moving parts, so error rates are very low.
Cons: Each code deployment requires baking a new AMI. This requires a lot of effort to ensure that the process is as fast as possible in order to avoid developer bottlenecks. This setup also makes it harder to deploy hotfixes.
Bottom Line: This is generally a best practice, but requires a certain level of codebase maturity and a high level of infrastructure sophistication. For example, Netflix has spent a lot of time speeding up the process of baking AMIs by using their Aminator project.
3. A Hybrid Method Using Chef to Handle Complete Deployment
This method strikes a balance between the Plain Vanilla AMI and the Bake-Everything AMI. An AMI is baked using Chef for configuration and environment, but one can't check the codebase or deploy the app. Chef does those once the node is brought up.
Pros: Since all packages are pre-installed, this method is significantly faster than using a Plain Vanilla AMI. Also, since the code is pulled once a node is commissioned, the ability to provide hotfixes is improved.
Cons: Because we're relying on Chef in production, there's a dependency on the repository, and pulling from the repository may fail.
Bottom Line: We consider this to be a medium-risk implementation due to its reliance on Chef.
4. A Hybrid Method Using Capistrano to Handle Code Deployment
This is similar to the hybrid Chef deployment approach, but with code deployed through Capistrano. Capistrano is a mature platform for deploying Rails code that includes several features and fail-safe mechanisms that make it better than Chef. In particular, if pull from the repository fails, Capistrano deploys an older revision from its backups.
Pros: The same as for the Chef hybrid, except that Capistrano is more mature than Chef, especially in handling repository failures.
Cons: It requires two tools instead of one, which increases management overhead even though they're tied together. In addition, the gap between environment and code is wider, and managing the tools separately is difficult.
Bottom Line: Capistrano is a better Rails solution for code deployment than Chef, and the ability to apply fixes quickly may make it the best solution.
5. The AMI-Bake and CRON-Based Chef-Client Method
This deployment method resembles that of the hybrids. However, it provisions features allow auto-propagation of changes because each AMI runs chef-client every N minutes. New AMIs are baked only for major changes. It can provide continuous deployment, but continuous deployment is an aggressive tactic that requires excellent continuous integration on the back end.
Pros: Allows continuous code deployment.
Cons: It's prone to errors if Continuous Integration is not stable. In addition, Chef re-bootstraps aren't reliable and may fail.
Bottom Line: Not recommended unless CI is solid.
6. The Cloud-Init and Docker Method
All indications are that Docker is the best choice for this use case. It comes closer to a bake-everything solution while getting around bake-everything's biggest drawbacks. It allows AMIs to be baked once and rarely changes after that. Both the environment and the app code are contained inside an LXC container, with each AMI consisting of one container. Upon code deployment, a new container is simply pushed, which provides deployment-process flexibility.
Pros: Docker containers provide a history with which one can compare containers, helps with issues of undocumented steps in image creation. Code and environment are tied together. The repository structure of containers leads to faster deployment than does which baking a new AMI. Docker also helps to create a local environment similar to the production environment.
Cons: Docker is still in early phases of development and suffers from some growing pains, including a few bugs, a limited tools ecosystem, some app compatibility issues and a limited feature set.
Bottom Line: If you adopt this approach, you'll be doing considerable trailblazing. There's little information available, so comparing notes with other pioneers will be helpful.
While there are many options for deploying Ruby on Rails in AWS environments, there isn't a single best solution. Taking the time to review the options and tradeoffs can save headaches along the way. Talk to peers and experienced consultants about their experiences before making the final decisions.

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 ...

New Islamist attacks kill at least 31 in Nigeria
March 3, 2014 - 21:50 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Islamist insurgents have killed at least 31 people in attacks on a village in northeast Nigeria, a state lawmaker said on Monday, March 3, a day after 85 were killed in a wave of attacks by suspected militants nearby, according to Reuters.
Gunmen stormed Mafa village in Borno state at around 8 p.m. on Sunday, shooting fleeing civilians and throwing explosives at occupied houses, witness Auwalu Gunda said.
Senator Ahmed Zannah said 29 civilians died in the raid and two policemen were killed in a bomb blast on Monday while trying to evacuate victims of the initial attack.
The Islamist sect Boko Haram has killed thousands during its four-and-a-half-year-old insurgency, which has been focused in Borno, as it looks to create an Islamic state in a religiously mixed country of 170 million people.
Twin bomb blasts in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno, killed at least 46 people on Saturday evening while, around 50 km (30 miles) away, dozens of gunmen were razing a farming village, shooting dead another 39.

The shooting began after 6 p.m. in a McDonald's restaurant in the mall. The latest reports suggest that police are still evacuating the building.

I'm glad Dres put the work in in the weight room this offseason. His size and burst is especially noticeable this year, compared to just the top flight speed he had the last two years as his only method of downfield separation (which was dangerous enough). If he cuts down on all the drops he had last year, he'll be something special this year.

VisionMobile recently published one of the best reports on apps for vehicles that I have read. It is frustrating with how difficult it is to actually get an app approved for use in a car. Here are some of the unique challenges:
- Safety first considerations (like driver distraction)
- Long sales and car vendor app approval process
- Car vendor led UX and ideation processes
- Low risk strategies for selecting apps
- Deal negotiation skills requirement
- Massive market fragmentation
The analogy VisionMobile offers is one that I remember vividly myself. That of running a small mobile games company (back before the days of iOS and Android App Stores around ) and trying to get a deal with a telecommunications operator in order to convince them to distribute your app on their private App Store. Often games and applications were embedded into the mobile devices and so you also had the option of trying to get a deal with a mobile phone company (which was equally as hard).
With the lack of portability of Java ME, mobile device fragmentation and not having the right business skills to win a decent contract meant that the mobile app market was on its last legs before Apple saved the day with the App Store. This is sadly an analogous state of affairs with apps today designed for the automotive industry.
There are five ways to develop Apps for vehicels:
- Run Apps in the In-Vehicle entertainment systems (Blackberry QNX CAR, Windows Embedded Automotive, Linux Genivi and Android)
- Use a link to a smartphone (Airbiquity, OpenCar, CloudCar, SmartDeviceLink / AppLink, MirrorLink, Apple CarPlay, Google Open Automotive Alliance and Windows in the Car)
- Remote access to the vehicle through an API (OnStar, General Motors API, Ford Remote API, Airbiquity, reverse engineering of vehicle protocols)
- Access to data through the On Board Diagnostics port called OBD-II (Dash Labs, Mojio, Carvoyant and MetroMile)
- New and emerging initiatives (W3C Automotive and Web Platform Business Group and OpenXC)
Apple, Google and Microsoft are all making a strong play for a link between the vehicle and their smartphones (#2 above), and effectively using the car as a third party accessory. This actually has the strong benefit that you can upgrade both the hardware and the software easily. It also makes testing easier because you can test on mobile hardware using stubs for the in-vehicle APIs, as opposed to requiring test hardware for the In-Vehicle entertainment systems.
If we look at the Insurance sector then we can see that remote access through an API or access through OBD-II is going to get better diagnostics for initiatives like pay-as-you-drive insurance (MetroMile). The W3C have a new HTML5 for Automotive initiative (http://www.w3.org/community/autowebplatform/) which doesn't seem to have produced a specification yet. OpenXC is a hardware module which gives access to vehicle data much like OBD-II but it also offers pluggable open hardware modules.
I also wanted to mention Carvoyant (http://www.carvoyant.com/) which reads data from OBD-II using a Bluetooth dongle and then sends it to a smartphone which in turns sends it to their Backend-as-a-Service.
"Carvoyant is a middleware platform providing development tools enabling connected car applications to become a reality for all the cars on the road today. In plain speak, that means we provide the back end tools helping developers and businesses alike to take advantage of the opportunities a connected car promises to deliver. Carvoyant services developers creating connected car applications (i.e. apps enhancing how cars interact with the world around us via an internet connection). Additionally, our platform serves businesses using the connected car to better communicate their offers to their customers. As a Backend-as-a-Service platform Carvoyant breaks down the data silos inherent in the auto industry. Our system collects data from all makes and models of vehicles built since 1996 across a wide variety of hardware devices and sources. This data is normalized and provided to our customers via our API. Today developers are utilizing this data to create the most robust array of apps and services for the connected car. "
There are five main routes to markets for vehicle apps:
- Pre-installation into a vehicle
- Through the vehicle manufacturer's App Store
- Write an app that runs on a smartphone and integrates with a vehicle through their private SDK
- Write an app that uses OBD-II and requires users to purchase an OBD-II Bluetooth dongle and distribute via a standard App Store
- Write an app that uses OBD-II and piggy-backs on top of an over-the-top platform like Dash or Carvoyant
The first two options require a deal with a vehicle manufacturer. The third option requires a deal with a vehicle manufacturer if you intend to use their private APIs. Only the fourth and fifth options enable you to avoid explicit approval from a vehicle manufacturer but that also means you won't get access to their marketing resources.
I like the idea of using an OBD-II dongle in the vehicle to talk with the smartphone. This in turn talks to a cloud service. If Carvoyant / Dash start to see great success with this over-the-top model then hopefully they can grow the ecosystem.
If the dark age before the Apple and Android App Stores have taught us anything it is that developers are the key to success and history does have a habit of repeating itself.

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.

Off-duty Md. officer shoots self after pursuit
Police say driver ID'd himself as a county officer during traffic stop
The Capital
EASTON, Md. — Maryland State Police say an off-duty Montgomery County police officer fatally shot himself after a trooper stopped him for speeding and suspicion of driving under the influence.
Police say a trooper stopped 30-year-old Jed Bylsma of Gettysburg, Pa., on Route 50 near Easton around 1:30 a.m. Monday for speeding and noticed signs that the driver, who identified himself as a county officer, was under the influence. While the trooper returned to his cruiser, police say Bylsma took off.
Bylsma's Nissan struck stop sticks near Airport Road and rolled to a stop and troopers found Bylsma with a gunshot wound to his head and a gun by his hand. Emergency care was provided, but Bylsma was dead. His body was taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for autopsy.
