Jim Cramer's Best Blogs
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Jim Cramer fills his blog on RealMoney every day with his up-to-the-minute reactions to what's happening in the market and his legendary ahead-of-the-crowd ideas. This week he blogged on:
- the re-emergence of old-school conviction in the stock market; and
- how the Warnaco acquisition hurt PVH's earnings.

Old-School Conviction Is Coming Back
Posted at 7:35 p.m. EDT on Thursday, March 28
You have to marvel at what just transpired this quarter. This was the single most triumphant quarter for so many different kinds of stocks that I can recall since the 1990s.
And yet when I read and listen, it is the same old, same old -- cautious bulls worried about Europe, worried about China, worried about sequestration, worried about earnings, worried about Washington.
You can truly say that the last 13 years really did a number on us. In fact, the only time I can recall hearing someone say, "Look, I like these stocks and they must be bought" was today on "Halftime Report," when Laszlo Birinyi just told it like it is and rattled off Johnson & Johnson
Tonight I had the good fortune to interview Fred Hassan, who just penned Reinvent, a book that was spawned by the hard lessons of the man who had turned around more businesses successfully than anyone alive. We talked about the importance of leadership, of culture, of the CEO and how much the CEO can mean to the stock price. Between Hassan and Birinyi, I felt totally old school. Otherwise it's all about risk-on, record-high territory, BlackBerry
Let this quarter be a lesson. The times, they have a changed. Old school is coming back. Stocks matter. CEOs matter. Slovenia?
It only matters as to how to get a better price for Bristol-Myers Squibb
Action Alerts PLUS, which Cramer co-manages as a charitable trust, is long AAPL, JNJ and BMY.

WageHELP Recovers $1 Million for Low-Wage Workers
In just 18 months, the Legal Aid Society–Employment Law Center has recovered over $1 million in backpay on behalf of low-wage workers through its Wage and Hour Enforcement Litigation Program (WageHELP).
Because of the tireless advocacy of attorneys, volunteers, and law students, working poor people who were not lawfully compensated for their work were able to access justice and receive the pay they earned.
Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center established WageHELP in order to combat systemic and rising levels of wage theft through litigation. "Wage theft is a pervasive and growing problem which affects vulnerable workers in all kinds of industries," said Fernando Flores, Director of WageHELP. "We have represented security guards, hotel workers, caregivers, salon technicians, and others, helping them reclaim their lost wages and their workplace rights."

Summer Slaughter -- Anaheim, CA -- August 25th, 2012
Originally I wasn't planning on going to this show, due to a lack of money and so many other great shows coming up, but a friend of mine was kind enough to buy a ticket for me, so off I went! Last year I opted out of the tour due to the extremely weak lineup, but this year they turned it around with a much better choice of bands. Although I can't say the lineup was great, it was more than enough for me to have a good time.
I was going to get to the show not long after the show started at 1pm, but thankfully Robert sent me the set times, which saved me from a few hours of watching bands I had no interest in. I met up with my friends and we went inside just as Exhumed was setting up on the main stage. Robert and I headed down to the pit and waited for them to start their set. They were supposed to start their twenty-five minute set at 5:10, but the lights went out at 5:02. I hoped they might be able to play an extra song, but with so many other bands playing after them it was just wishful thinking on my part.
They started with the crushing intro, "All Guts, No Glory" and went into "As Hammer to Anvil". It was apparent that a lot of people were unfamiliar with them, but there was a fair amount of headbanging going on. As they continued the crowd got more into it though, and there was actually a pretty good pit. Matt's screams sounded incredible, and as usual, the rest of the band followed suit. Bob's vocals could have been a bit higher in the mix though. I noticed that there was a different face on stage this time around. Bud Burke, who played on Slaughtercult and Anatomy Is Destiny, has returned, replacing Wes Caley on guitar. Although I thought Wes held down his position quite well, it's great to see a former member back in the band.
Knowing that the band only had such a limited time to play I went all out for their set, alternating between pitting and crazed headbanging. After they finished "Distorted and Twisted to Form" Matt exchanged a few words with Bud and then to my amazement, returned to the mic to say "We managed to start a little bit early, so we're going to do an extra one for you guys." The crowd cheered and of course, I was ecstatic. If there was any band I would have wanted to play an extra song, it was Exhumed. After Matt gave a short speech they ripped into "Decrepit Crescendo" and then they ended with their classic, "The Matter of Splatter", which brought about the best pit of the set. As usual, at the end of the set they brought out the decapitated head and dumped blood on the crowd. Although they didn't get to play a lengthy setlist, they were easily my favorite band of the day. I can't wait to see them again with Napalm Death and Repulsion!
After Exhumed was finished Robert and I went to the second tier to watch Goatwhore. Although I can't call myself a fan of them, they are a force to be reckoned with live. Their set was like a massive riff assault. As with Exhumed, the crowd seemed a bit dead at first, but they picked it up as the set went on. I even noticed an older guy with a skullet, probably around 50 years old, down in the pit. It's always cool to see the older metalheads supporting newer bands. I'm not familiar with their song titles, but as far as I know, they played the same set that they've been playing for the rest of the tour.
After Goatwhore was Job for a Cowboy, and none of us were interested in seeing them. I witnessed them live a couple years ago and their vocalist is just awful live. Although I enjoyed Goatwhore's riff assault, I don't think my ears would like to be assaulted with those terrible screams. We sat outside on the grass, being tempted by the mouthwatering smell of overpriced tacos. After a while Robert and I went back inside to try to get a spot for The Faceless. Unfortunately this meant sitting through Veil of Maya's set, which was awful. I've seen them multiple times in the past and each time they just get worse. The monotonous chugging and plastic guitar tone were hard to bear, but we stayed in hopes of catching somebody leaving the rail. Unfortunately our persistence did not pay off, and we settled on a spot off to the side on the lowest level.
After a bit of waiting, The Faceless came out to loud cheers. It was clear that a lot of the crowd had come with the intent of seeing them. They started off with one of my personal favorites, "Coldly Calculated Design". Immediately I was thrown off by the reaction of the crowd. All of the times I've seen The Faceless in the past it was like any other metal show; there would be lots of pitting and headbanging. Not this time. The pit was miniscule, and few people were doing more than a slight head nod. It seemed that people were more interested in watching Michael Keene's technical prowess than letting loose. I would have enjoyed it more if the crowd showed some more enthusiasm.
Despite my qualms with the crowd's participation, it was still nice to see them again, as this was my first time seeing the band with their new lineup, consisting of Evan Brewer on bass, Wes Hauch on guitar, and their new vocalist, Geoffrey Ficco. I was very pleased that Evan's bass was high in the mix. Watching him play so effortlessly had me in awe. As usual, Michael Keene did not make even the slightest mistake, pulling off the solos and intricate riffs with ease. I was also happy with Geoff's performance. He sounds much better then Derek and his stage presence helps make up for the rest of the members' generally motionless postures. Fortunately for us, their set did not get cut like on some of the other dates on the tour. However, I was surprised they only chose to play two songs from their new album, Autotheism. They should have at least thrown in the minute and a half beast, "Hymn of Sanity". With that said, I was glad they didn't ignore Akeldama. Overall it was a solid set, but thirty minutes is definitely not long enough for a band of their stature.
Once again we retreated to the outside world and chatted for a while. I didn't care to see Between the Buried and Me, so I hung out until Cannibal Corpse was about to go on. To be honest, I've never really gotten into them, nevertheless I was still looking forward to seeing them, especially after reading multiple accounts about how amazing they are live. Needless to say, they did not disappoint. They opened the set with three songs from their newest album, Torture. "Scourge of Iron" was especially heavy, inducing ravenous headbanging across the audience. As expected, their sound was as crushing as an industrial compactor. I was astounded by how great Corpsegrinder's voice sounded, despite all the years of improper screaming. My only complaint is that he doesn't enunciate the lyrics very well, so it tends to all run together.
After a trip back to Vile and some more recent material, the band took a momentary breather. Then Corpsegrinder responded to a guy in the audience, "To whoever is screaming over there, if you want Chris Barnes, you're at the wrong show, dumbass." He continued, "Ironically now, we're going to play some old stuff. The stuff Chris used to sing, junior, but not anymore." They burst into "Covered With Sores" and then continued with "Born in a Casket". Afterward Corpsegrinder asked that for the next song, everybody bang their heads, and then added "Try to keep up with me. You will fail, but you can still try." Then they played the immensely heavy fan favorite, "I Cum Blood". It may have been the heaviest thing I've witnessed live.
The rest of the set was just icing on the cake to me. They churned out more and more pummeling songs. It was not long before Corpsegrinder announced that they only had one song left, causing dismay among the crowd. He responded to the booing with yet another great quote: "Since you're so upset for that, since you booed and since you're not happy it's the last song... It's still the last song." Then they went into "Hammer Smashed Face", which spawned the most violent pit of the night. Once it was finished he told the crowd, "Remember when I said that was the last song? I lied," and to finish off the tour they played "Stripped, Raped and Strangled". After this set I may have very well been converted into a fan. This show was a perfect end to the summer. I had a great time hanging out with friends and watching some awesome bands. Hopefully next year's Summer Slaughter has an equally good or better lineup!

Great review.
And yeah, Corpsegrinder tends to enunciate poorly live. It's my only complaint about seeing Cannibal Corpse live. He pulled that "I lied" thing when I saw them in June, too.

Very cool review man. Glad you enjoyed Cannibal Corpse. You're right, I Cum Blood is among the heaviest live songs ever, and Hammer Smashed Face always induces some of the most intense pits I've ever seen.

Nice review! That thing you said about The Faceless reaction though, every time I've seen them the crowd has done the same thing just witnessed the band perform and headbanged with no pits. The most surprising crowd response was BTBAM, holy shit the crowd went ape shit for them. You can tell their was a split crowd too, BTBAM had a bigger audience than Corpse.
I mean, I know The Faceless has never been a band that generated large pits, but there was almost zero movement where I standing, aside from a bit of headbanging. I didn't get bumped into once the entire time. It just felt boring. The last time I saw them they were opening for Suffocation, so there was quite a bit of movement. I guess I should have expected different at this show, seeing as there would be much more progressive fans in attendance.

Great review. I only pitted for Exhumed and Cannibal. Goatwhore and The Faceless were good too but I didn't feel like going down there for them.
I already saw Goatwhore headline earlier this year.
I kinda wish that Cannibal Corpse headlining tour with Exhumed had come down here then I probably wouldn't have gone to this. It was still worth it though.
The Harvest Crusade was happening too at Angel Stadium across from the Grove.

Wonton Soup
Wonton soup – learn how to make Chinese wonton soup with this SUPER easy recipe. Plump and juicy wontons that you can't stop eating | rasamalaysia.com
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total Time:
8 oz peeled and deveined big shrimp
1 oz yellow chives or scallions, chopped finely
15 wonton wrappers
Water, for boiling wontons
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
1/4 teaspoon fish sauce
Pinch of salt
3 dashes white pepper
1/2 teaspoon corn starch
3 cups low sodium chicken broth
Salt to taste
White pepper to taste
Sesame oil to taste
Add half of the chopped yellow chives into the shrimp and marinate with the seasonings for 1 hour.
Place a wonton wrapper on your palm and put about 1 teaspoon (about 3-4 pieces of the shrimp) filling in the center of the wonton wrapper. Gather the corners of the wrapper with the other hand and pinch in the middle to "seal" the wonton. Make sure the wontons are sealed tight. Repeat until the filling is used up.
Prepare the soup first by bringing the chicken broth to boil. Add salt, white pepper, and sesame oil to taste.
Heat up another pot with water. As soon as it boils, drop all wontons into the water. Stirring gently so the wontons don't stick together. Continue to boil until the wontons are completely cooked and float to the top.
Transfer the wontons out with a strainer and into the Soup and serve immediately.
Wonton Soup
Wonton soup – learn how to make Chinese wonton soup with this SUPER easy recipe. Plump and juicy wontons that you can't stop eating.
Wonton soup is probably one of the most popular Chinese recipe for soups. The mere mention of wonton soup and you will think of delicately wrapped dumplings in a soothing broth served at your favorite Chinese restaurants. Wonton soup is a hearty and nourishing soup, so it's no surprise that everyone loves it.
The typical Chinese restaurant wonton soup is watered down, with wontons made of mostly the wonton wrapper with very little filling. So here is my delicious and super easy Chinese wonton soup recipe that you can make in a jiffy. While most Chinese restaurants served wontons made of ground pork filling, my wontons are shrimp wontons so every bite is bursting with the briny, juicy, and sweetness of fresh shrimp. Plus everyone can enjoy this wonderful soup as it is not made of pork.
Please also take note that I used yellow chives in my recipe, which is an authentic way of making wonton soup. If you can't find yellow chives, feel free to use scallions and your wonton soup will still taste very good!

- Abstract
- In this work thermally induced failure processes of plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings were examined. Cracking processes give rise to noise which was monitored by acoustic emission techniques. The sequential failure of coatings was examined from samples which were thermally cycled. Coatings of yttria-stabilized zirconia with and without an Ni-Cr-Al-Zr bond coat were plasma sprayed onto a U 700 alloy rod. Results from up to seven consecutive thermal cycles are reported here. Coating failure was observed in all cases. Failure of the thermal protection system is progressive, since cracking and crack growth have been observed prior to ultimate failure, and thus catastrophic failure occurs at some stage when there is a transformation from the microcrack to a macrocrack network.

The Blairsville/Saltsburg School Board met last night after having another safety meeting earlier in the evening.
School districts across the country are continuing to reevaluate their safety procedures. Assistant Superintendent Ian Magness talked about the safety meeting that took place last night.
Magness said that already the district has tightened up security in areas such as during after school hours, where he said maybe the district was getting a little lax, and in front office admittance of outside guests.
During the ARIN Intermediate Unit's meeting last night there was discussion of incident management practices. One of the highlights was organizing students at schools to be dispersed to other regional schools to attend class if an incident occurred and the buildings had to be shut down for an extended period of time.
Board President Ed Smith talked about a situation where parents recently boarded a charter bus with a basketball team and rode with them to the game. Smith and Superintendent Dr. Tammy Whitfield were very clear that this is strictly not allowed, due in part to liability. Smith said it was the responsibility of coaches to enforce this policy.
Dual enrollment classes at colleges can now be counted towards graduation requirements. The district also came together with dual enrollment agreements with Penn Highlands and La Roche.

My baby was born at 32 weeks, and was in the NICU for 2.5 weeks. I started breastfeeding while she was in the NICU (although she never really latched on during that time), and pumped milk for her to be fed (first through a feeding tube, then by bottle) from day 1.
Now that I have her home (she has been home for 2 weeks) I am trying to get her to breastfeed exclusively BUT am having some major problems. The LC and my pediatrician agree that I should breastfeed at every feeding, and offer her a supplemental bottle (except for 6 hours per day, when I should not supplement her - and obviously, this time period is to increase, until she is exclusively breastfeeding). The breastmilk she has from a bottle is enriched with 1 tsp of enfacare per 4oz, for extra calories.
My problems right now are:
1) Although she will latch on properly and feeds (I can see pools of milk in her mouth when she moves, and she swallows and burps), she will only latch on sometimes. Other times, she gets very fussy and agitated, and simply clamps down on my nipple (which has now made my nipples very painful, with white centers) - and even though she is wide awake, and is trying to feed, we can go for over an hour without her latching on or feeding. At that point I give up (as I'm exhausted and in agony, and she is screaming) and give her a full feeding from a bottle.
2) For most feedings, once I get her latched on, she will feed - even if it's just for a few minutes. Once she stops all signs of interest in breastfeeding and is starting to fall asleep, I give her the 1oz bottle supplement. My question is, for the times when she won't latch on at all (when she falls asleep etc) how long should I let her go before I give her a bottle? Generally, if she falls asleep before or during a breastfeeding session, I will lay her in her crib - if she hasn't had her supplemental bottle, she will then start to fuss or cry almost immediately and will not settle.
I am reluctant to give up breastfeeding attempts, as I can see she is making some progress, and I have a great milk supply (from 5 weeks of pumping every 3-4 hours!!) - but I am physically and mentally exhausted. Right now, when I give her bottles my husband is a great help, and feeds her while I pump, but the breastfeeding sessions (especially those in the middle of the night) usually leave us with a screaming baby, and an almost as hysterical Momma.
Any words of wisdom or support would be greatly appreciated.

First let my oppologize for how long this is..But I need help
Curious if anyone has experienced this..My DD is 3mnths old will be 4mnths tommorow ...well the last week or so when I get her home she will nurse and nurse and seem satisfied . So I will stop she will go back to putting her hands in her mouth like she is still hungry. So I will try to nurse again and she will latch on then turn away. then turn to latch on again and turn away. Then sometimes she will cry. She will continue this over and over until she actually latches on. I thought maybe it was just at home. because I noticed she nursed alot when i brought her home when I started her at home care ,but nothing like this. She finally will latch on and finish and go to sleep. I wake her to give her a bath and she will go back to sleep after that with a little nursing. I asked her care provider this morning if she does that there. she said yes that she will warm her breast milk after seeing she is just eating her hands over and over and she wont eat half the time. I am not sure if it is because she has reflux?? but she hadnt done this before. and then I thought maybe because I started feeding her laying down sometimes at night which i just started about a week agao. Or maybe there is something wrong with me because yesterday i had a pain in my breast near my chest. I was thinking maybe I have a yeast infection. But it does not hurt like that today. HELLLPP
I posted in the new mothers section before I noticed this column. Sorry

A Triumvirate of Candidates to Succeed King Bud
By now everyone knows that the Office of the Commissioner of Major League Baseball will get a fresh face in 2012 (conveniently, that is the year we're all gonna die anyway). But just in case those thousand year old destruction theories are not accurate, let us start to think about who might be able to save baseball from another passive, tyrannical reign after King Bud Selig has gone fishing. Because as my oft cantankerous colleague, Mr. Krause, points out, King Bud dropped the ball.
To me, there are only three viable candidates. They are presented here (above right). In bronze. I think.
Two of them are dead and one of them is forever young (albeit in 2-D).
Verily, they would all be adequate replacements at the top of the grandest game on earth.
– – –
Candidate #1:
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
Bolshevik Leader, Marxist, Revolutionary, Head of State
What's wrong, Matt Holliday? Five years guaranteed at $16 million ain't enough? Fine then. Mr. Holliday, you'll be making the same salary as Wilson Betemit… if Wilson even has a job. Luxury tax? There ain't no luxury tax. Proposed salary cap? Yeah, propose this: everybody makes the same amount of money. No matter what. You don't like it? Then die. Die. Just die!
– – –
Candidate #2:
Mickey Mouse
Talking Rodent, Steamboat Captain, World Icon, Clubhouse Leader
Woo-hoo! Baseball! Woo-hoo! Baseball! Woo-hoo! Pine tar!
– – –
Candidate #3:
Jesus of Nazareth
Son of "God", Hipster, Smooth-Talker, a.k.a. The Christ
What shall it profit a man if he gains the homerun record but loses his soul to 'roids? For everyone who refrains from untucking his shirt after winning a game (talkin' to you, Brewers) himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. I say, I've fed his sheep. Now I'll tend to them, … tend to my sheep.

Good post, I especially liked "conveniently we will all die then" and the first candidate as well.
I definitely vote for Mickey Mouse. (Just as long as he bring Donald Duck with him). But it really will be weird with anybody besides Selig there. He's had the power for my entire life.
Well Jeff. Ethier way I am looking forward to 2012!
"Regarding your post in Jenn's blog:
When I was living in L.A. just a few years ago I could still get bleacher tix for $12 a piece… haven't seen anything that cheap anywhere since and I doubt even the Dodgers offer that ticket anymore. "
You can still buy inexpensive tickets at Dodger Stadium. In 2009, Left Field Pavilion tickets went for $9 if bought in advanced and $13 for a game day price. Season ticket in that area were sold for $8 and mini packages for $10. Top Deck tickets are the cheapest at $7 for same day game price. Top Deck season tickets for $4 a ticket so there is still a bargain. Now you know food and parking can cost you more than that but you can always park around the Ravine and bring food if you wish.
Joe — Lenin would get my vote too… some (Andre Dawson and Jack Morris for starters) might say that Lenin WAS in charge during the collusion era.
Ellie — First time RSBS commentor… you get a virtual *fist bump*. Welcome. Donald Duck is actually busy running the NHL if you haven't noticed. LOL.
Emma — That's great to know! When I lived there I spent a lot of time at Dodger Stadium. That was during the Gagne streak and my favorite player to watch was Adrian Beltre. Ah, how times have changed…
Humorous as always. But do you really think Jesus wouldn't like the untucked shirts? Come on, if that guy didn't have that long robe to lift up, he'd be untucking after every miracle– dude's got great abs!
Carpie — I'm sure Jesus had great abs. Also pretty sure he was humble enough to not untuck. Have to ask Mary Magdalene to be sure though. LOL.
What about me? Although I don't think I could match the Bud Selig brand of chaos because his is unintentional anarchy, but I could try.
Prince, it this satirical proposal, I thought it best to keep you out of it… though you're right, any one of us could probably probably match the flub-fest that has been Selig's reign.
It's a tough decision! I think I'm leaning towards Mickey Mouse. It certainly will be interesting to see how it goes after Selig leaves the throne. "Conveniently, we're going to die then anyway," so we shouldn't have to worry.
Thanks for some more laughs,
I'm going with Jesus. Maybe he can make Mickey Mantle rise from the dead.
TRIUMVIRATE! love the word. hear it alot. in reference to one of my favorite bands, Rush. and just last night the announcers called Kevin Jones, Da'Sean Butler and Devin Ebanks, the three core WVU basketball players, the triumvirate. great word. gotta add it to my arsenal of vocabulary
AL — And I guess since we're all gonna die in a couple years anyway, the Cubs are really sunk at trying to dispel that Curse. LOL.
Jane — If he can do that, even I'll become a believer.
Matt — Right up there with "nefarious", "pedantic" and "Pujols" as my favorite words of all time😉
My vote goes for Lenin. Maybe he'll strip this game down of all the nonsensical minutia it's cluttered with and we can get back to the game. He would force every player into a mandatory test line, literally. Every MLB player would be lined up single file and tested. Options? Be traded to the Siberian Work Camps Traveling team. Having to sit through The Little Mermaid clips between innings would make us long for Selig. Jesus, I'd imaging could hit a curveball, so he's cool with me.
You guys are too much> had to pull the trolley over cause i was LMAO. It's about time we put a toe tag on his tenure.
We're with ya… I like your ideas. Off to the work camps!!!

Big Data Analytics Stories: Consumer Energy Management
Pecan Street uses data-driven analytics to empower consumers
Bert Haskell, Technology Director, Pecan Street Inc.
Pecan Street Inc. is a nonprofit consortium of universities, technology companies, and utility providers collaborating on testing, piloting, and commercializing smart grid technologies. "Smart grid" is a term used to define the utility industry efforts to modernize the electrical grid system with advanced metering systems, home energy management systems (HEMS), sensors, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, smart appliances, electric vehicles, and Internet services that can empower consumers to be more energy efficient. Today, Pecan Street has gathered almost two years of energy consumption data from sensor systems in more than 200 households in the Mueller community of Austin, Texas.
One of the primary goals of Pecan Street is to drive new products, services, and economic opportunities around consumer energy management. Our research has the potential to provide people with the knowledge and tools to manage and reduce their energy consumption, as well as make their homes more comfortable to live in. In addition, the utility companies will be able to use this data to better manage the grid and invest in relevant infrastructure modernization.
At the heart of Pecan Street's research is a device-to-cloud architecture that captures data from multiple sources and stores it for analysis and visualization. We collect electrical data from systems that measure the amount of power flowing through six to eight circuits every six seconds. We also collect gas and water data from utility meters using a wireless gateway. Plus, a radio collector on an old airport tower in the community streams data from Landis+Gyr* advanced smart meters to the University of Texas supercomputing facility and into our database via a high-reliability utility network.
We log consumers' actions such as modifications to the environmental controls in their home or adjustments to the way their energy information is viewed. We also plan to collect data from advanced thermostats, home automation systems, home security systems, motion detectors, and new energy technologies such as solar panels and electric vehicle charge stations.
It's critical for us to understand how consumers engage with the data we collect. So, as part of our research, some of the participants will have access to their data via a web-based portal or smart phone app.
During two years, we've captured a huge amount of data—to the tune of well over 80 gigabytes of information—and we expect that to increase to a terabyte of data over the course of the program. While a terabyte may not seem like a lot of data, as individual data points it's actually a tremendous amount. Each data point represents a unique event, so the processing of this data is extremely complex. The big data challenge is to aggregate and backhaul this steady stream of unstructured data from multiple, disparate sources to the University of Texas where it is analyzed and visualized.
We're on our third iteration of database architectures trying to find the best way to store and analyze this much data. After the first month, we realized that our MySQL* approach wasn't able to cope with complex queries, such as, "What is the aggregated refrigerator usage over a 24-hour period, and is there an opportunity for a demand-response or peak-shaving program for the utility?" Since then we've migrated to other database architectures and are now evaluating an EMC Greenplum* big data solution. Greenplum offers an integrated big data analytics system with a massively parallel processing (MPP) architecture without the complexity and constraints of proprietary hardware and a Hadoop* distribution that will help us to process and analyze our data with a modular solution for structured and unstructured data.
In addition to searching for the right big data analytics approach, one of our greatest challenges has been the integrity of the data we collect. Inoperative channels in the data system or a disruption of the residential broadband connection gave us unreliable values. We resolved this by producing qualified data sets of known good data. We tag those as very high quality and direct researchers to use those.
The organizations that make up the Pecan Street consortium, which includes Intel, are using the smart grid project as a development platform for new product concepts—a test bed for people to innovate. With big data analytics, we can develop a better understanding of how people consume energy and how they want to manage it. Plus, we can provide utility companies with insights that will help them make the best investments in modernizing the energy grid.

What was it like to work in the video game industry during its arcade game heyday? Game designer, Mark Cerny, offered insights into his days working at Atari in the 1980s and specifically his experience with their hit game, Marble Madness, in this 2011 Game Developer Conference presentation.
Cerny began as a punch card hobbyist (for those of you too young to remember, code used to punched into paper cards that computers could read) and then began working at Atari at age 17.
Check out the video posted by Gamasutra from this 2011 Game Developer Conference presentation.

Another week, yet another celebrity lifestyle site. This one has a twist though, I promise. Big Bang Theory star and neuroscientist Mayim Bialik has launched a lifestyle site, GrokNation.

Jessica Alba is promoting The Honest Co.'s new femcare line (which inexplicably boxes tampons to look like "artisanal chocolates") so is of course pulling out her philosophies on parenting in a new interview.

It hasn't been a great week for Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen.

Keira's night out
Pacific Coast News
Keira Knightley and James Righton were out in London the other day for the Blur show. It was a night off from the baby. Their daughter was born a month ago. Do moms judge other moms for that?

Gwyneth believes in "having sex"
Gwyneth Paltrow's "crazy fit" body covers the new issue of Women's Health. I love those bikini bottoms on the cover. I don't know how practical they are, but they're cute.

While other students his age are hoping to find an internship, Brian Failing '14 is hoping to find interns. As museum curator of the Museums at Lisle Station Park in Lisle, IL, Failing's priorities involve scheduling tours, recruiting volunteers, planning programs and finding interns who could help with an inventory of artifacts and improving display cases and signage.
"My goal is to help visitors understand Lisle's place in Chicago's history," he says. Lisle was a stop on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad and was also the largest dairy town on the line.
A history major and urban and suburban studies minor, Failing has been curator for two years—since he was in high school. At the encouragement of a neighbor, he began volunteering in 2007, which suited his interest in high school courses in American Studies and World History. When the part-time curator left to have a baby, Failing was offered the job.
During the summer, he works 20 hours a week, leading tours and hosting programs. He organized a Chicago history authors series that won an award of excellence from the Illinois Association of Museums. The program was featured on WGN radio with Rick Kogan.
In the past two years, Failing has been able to add hours during the summer and attendance was up 30 percent last year. The complex consists of the former Lisle Train depot, which was used until the late 1970s; the Beaubien Tavern, moved from Plank Road in Naperville; a restored Chicago Burlington & Quincy caboose; and other historic buildings moved from the area.
In fact, Failing has found an internship of his own for spring term, which he'll balance with his museum duties. While participating in Chicago Term, he will work for Chicago Detours, which provides walking tours of Chicago history and culture.

Uhm.. I don't think I've read one focusing mainly on ninjas, but there are quite a lot of other series where there are ninjas, or at least where you can see them; there are ninjas in Rurouni Kenshin for example, which is basically a series about samurai, but still!

Bill T. Jones and "Story/Time": Anything might happen
On Friday and Saturday, the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company will present "Story/Time" at Zellerbach Hall courtesy of Cal Performances. Lou Fancher previews the show with the company's Associate Artistic Director Janet Wong, and, below, sits down with Jones himself to talk about the new project and the impact it is having on his life's work
When the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company catapults onto the stage at Zellerbach Hall on February 24 and 25, even the dancers won't know exactly what will happen.
Just a few hours before the 8:00 pm curtain, they will have lined the backstage hallway, learning the sequence spewed out by Random.org and refined under the watchful eye of Bill T. Jones and his Associate Artistic Director Janet Wong.
"We use Random to spin the material to determine which story goes where and what dancer does which part," Wong explains, in a 45-minute phone interview a week before opening night. "Everyone has a chart: sometimes it's brilliant and sometimes it's horrible."
Her evaluations are hardly begin to reflect Wong's high standards and intense commitment to Jones, with whom she has worked for decades.
"The reason Bill wanted to do this piece is that John Cage is a mentor," she says, citing the inspiration for the new work. … Continue reading »

The ONE rod is the first precision casting instrument to take advantage of the Sage ground breaking Konnetic technology. The ONE offers exceptional tracking with virtually no lateral or torsional movement, resulting in astonishing casting accuracy that is unparalleled in the marketplace.
The inherent strength of Konnetic technology allows ONE rods to have a smaller diameter and are 25% lighter than comparable Sage rods. These attributes combine to provide augmented aerodynamic efficiency. Further innovations are the 70% lighter, low profile ferrules that help direct and carry energy through the rod without sacrificing strength, critical action and feel.
Konnetic technology, the most recent and significant evolution in fly rod innovation, uses new materials combined with pioneering manufacturing methods and processes. This technology incorporates an optimized ratio of the Sage proprietary resin to exclusive high modulus aerospace-grade carbon fiber.
The latest construction methods include the Sage Advanced Modulus Positioning System (AMPS); a process that precisely aligns and positions carbon fiber materials to exacting tolerances for the greatest blank strength delivering extremely efficient energy transfer throughout the shaft. Using the Sage High Compression Molding process, carbon fibers are compacted for optimum density and precise alignment while simultaneously fusing the 50% lighter all-carbon fiber inner core.

Emphasizing the need for leaders who oppose the culture of out-of-control spending, higher taxes, and unsustainable debt, Mitt Romney has endorsed four GOP Idaho candidates. Governor Butch Otter, Senator Mike Crapo, Congressman Mike Simpson, and ID State Rep Raul Labrador have Romney's backing. Funds totaling $15,000 from Romney's Free and Strong America PAC will go to their campaigns.
Governor Romney, thanks for working over-time and giving so much!
Romney Announces Idaho Endorsements:
Today, Mitt Romney's Free and Strong America PAC announced the endorsement of the following four Idaho candidates and that it is sending them a total of $15,000 in contributions.
Governor Butch Otter: Butch Otter currently serves as Governor of Idaho and is running for reelection. For more information about him and his campaign, visit www.otter4idaho.com.Senator Mike Crapo: Mike Crapo currently serves the people of Idaho in the U.S. Senate and is running for reelection. For more information about him and his campaign, visit www.crapoforsenate.com.
Congressman Mike Simpson: Mike Simpson currently represents the 2nd Congressional District of Idaho and is running for reelection. For more information about him and his campaign, visit www.simpsonforcongress.com.
Raul Labrador: Raul Labrador, an Idaho State Representative and successful small businessman, is running to represent the 1st Congressional District of Idaho. For more information about him and his campaign, visit www.labrador4idaho.com.
The PAC also announced that it is sending Governor Otter and Senator Crapo each a $5,000 contribution, and that it is sending Congressman Simpson and Raul Labrador each a $2,500 contribution.
"Rather than focusing on getting our economy back on track, far too many of our leaders are more interested in promoting policies that will expand the size of government and drive us further into debt. We need leaders who will stand up to the culture of higher spending, higher taxes, and higher debt, and that is why I am proud to endorse Governor Otter, Senator Crapo, Congressman Simpson, and Raul Labrador," said Romney.
These endorsements are another in a series of state rollouts of the PAC's 2010 endorsements, which are aimed at electing conservative candidates who will work to lower taxes and spending, restore commonsense principles to healthcare and get our economy moving again. As part of this program, Romney's PAC also has announced endorsements in Ohio, Missouri, California, Pennsylvania, Hawaii, Nevada, Illinois, Georgia, Texas, and Indiana.

A judge on Thursday told former Anne Arundel County Executive John Leopold he will serve time in jail after being convicted earlier this year of misconduct in office.
Leopold resigned in February after Judge Dennis Sweeney found him guilty of misusing his county office staff and his security detail by forcing them to do personal errands and campaign work for him.
Leopold served in the Hawaii State House of Representatives from 1970 to 1974 and the Hawaii State Senate from 1974 to 1978.
On Thursday, Sweeney sentenced Leopold to two years in jail with all but 60 days suspended. Sweeney said 30 of those days will be spent in the Anne Arundel County Detention Center, and if Leopold is compliant during those days, he can spend the second 30 days on house arrest.
WBAL-TV reporter Barry Simms said Leopold was taken from the courtroom in handcuffs. He is expected to report to jail later Thursday.
During the hearing, Leopold expressed regret and apologized for using his security detail for campaign activities and asking a county employee to empty his catheter bag.
Defense attorney Bruce Marcus argued that Leopold was humbled, chastened and profoundly remorseful, asking the judge to consider Leopold's 44 years of public service both in Hawaii and in Maryland.
"For my irresponsible failures in judgment, I am sorry," Leopold told the judge.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys asked the judge to impose probation, fines and community service instead of jail time, citing Leopold's age and health, but it appears Sweeney did not agree.
During the hearing, Sweeney said that some period of incarceration is necessary in Leopold's case. He said politicians and public servants need to know what can happen to them if they don't follow the law.
"Leopold displayed considerable arrogance to the people who worked for him," Sweeney said.
In fact, Sweeney said he was trying to send a strong warning. Without mentioning any name, he cited the case of former Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon, who was also forced from office. She was given probation.
Sweeney decided he needed to send a stronger message of deterrence, saying, "If you violate the law in this area in a serious way, you will be handcuffed, led from a courtroom and spend time in jail."
State Prosecutor Emmet Davitt said he believes some will get the message.
"It does send the message. I would not be so naive as to say everybody will get the message," Davitt said.
Carol Vitek, a supporter and former employee of Leopold, said she's upset that Sweeney sentenced Leopold to jail.
"I'm angry at the judge for what he did," Vitek said. "He didn't give him the dignity of going out of a courtroom without handcuffs. He's not what you'd call a bad criminal. Jesus this is awful."
Former Leopold employee Joan Harris said Leopold ruled by fear and that she feels vindicated by the sentence.
"It was a great feeling seeing Leopold go out in handcuffs," Harris said. "I think it sends a message to all elected officials (that) you cannot abuse your power and get away with it. You will be held accountable for what you do."
Leopold will also have to pay a $100,000 fine and do 400 hours of community service.

Adventures in defending science-based medicine in cancer journals: Energy chelation
My co-bloggers and I have spent considerable time and effort over the last four years writing posts for this blog (and I for my not-so-super-secret other blog) bemoaning the infiltration of quackademic medicine into what once were bastions of evidence- and science-based medicine. We've discussed at considerable length reasons for why this steady infiltration of pseudoscience into medical academia has been occurring. Among other potential explanations, these reasons range from the ascendence of postmodernism in areas where it really doesn't belong; to a change in our medical culture to a more "consumer"-oriented, "keep the customer satisfied"-sort of model in which patients are often referred to as "clients" or "customers"; to the corrosive influences of moneyed groups (such as the Bravewell Collaborative) and government agencies (such as the National Center for Complementary and Alternative medicine, a.k.a. NCCAM); to the equally corrosive influences of powerful woo-friendly legislators who use their position and influence to create such agencies (such as Senator Tom Harkin and Representative Dan Burton) and otherwise champion "complementary and alternative medicine" (CAM) and "integrative medicine" because they are true believers in quackery; to cynical legislators, like Senator Orrin Hatch, who champions such government programs supporting pseudoscience because he represents a state that is home to the largest concentration of supplement manufacturers in the United States and is consequently a master at bringing any initiative to regulate the supplement industry more tightly to a screeching halt.
As a result of our efforts and the need for a counterweight to the quackery that has infiltrated so much of academia, SBM has become fairly prominent in the medical blogosphere. Our traffic is good, and we have a number of "thought leaders" who regularly read what we write. We've even caught the attention of Dr. Josephine Briggs, director of NCCAM, and our founder Steve Novella was even invited to appear on The Dr. Oz Show for "balance." All of this is something that we are justly proud of. On the other hand, I can't help but keep things in perspective. While our traffic as a blog is quite respectable and we have become prominent in the skeptical and medical blogosphere and even, to some extent, in academia—we're particularly gratified at the number of medical students who are regular readers—compared to the forces arrayed against SBM in academia and the media, we have to face facts: We are truly a tiny voice in the wilderness. For instance, we average around 9,000 to 16,000 visits a day. Compare that traffic to the many millions who used to watch Oprah Winfrey and still watch her protégé Dr. Oz or to health media and product empires of people like Andrew Weil and Deepak Chopra, and you get the idea.
All of this is why I started looking for opportunities to respond more directly to incursions of pseudoscience into medical academia. Occasional SBM contributor Peter Lipson provided me with just such an opportunity last summer when he sent me a link to a brain-meltingly bad study about the use of CAM in cancer that shows just how bad a study can be and still be published in what I used to consider a reasonably good cancer journal. I say "used to consider," because the fact that this journal accepted a study this ludicrous indicates to me that its peer review is so broken that I now wonder about what else I've read in that journal that I should now discount as being too unreliable to take seriously. Maybe everything. I don't know. What I do know is that seldom have I seen such a bad study in such a good cancer journal. Studies like the one about Tai Chi in fibromyalgia or placebo acupuncture applied to asthma don't even come close.
Soon after this study appeared online ahead of print, James Coyne contacted me and asked me if I wanted to be co-author on a letter to the editor of the journal. Honored by Dr. Coyne's request, I immediately said yes (of course), and together with Dr. Christoffer Johansen at the Survivorship Unit of the Danish Cancer Society, we submitted our letter to the editor. To my surprise, given the utter failure of past efforts to publish letters to the editor about studies of this sort, our letter was accepted for publication. Last week, the study in question saw print, and our letter was published online ahead of print, along with the response of the authors. All are instructive and, to me, show just what we are up against in trying to prevent pseudoscience from creeping into academia.

I'm pretty sure Malik Rose is the player that gave those remarks.
I swear, the Knicks would make a great film for an ESPN movie. There are so many holes in what goes on behind the scenes ever since the day Checkets left that need to be uncovered.
Maybe a book instead of a movie?
There is so much dirt on Thomas, from Brown to Don Chaney to Marbury to Knicks beat reporters, that is has become a bonafied wonder of the world why this man still has a job.
Is he blowing Dolan behind the scenes? Is Thomas blackmailing Dolan all this time?
There is not one Executive in the NBA that would want Thomas coming into contact with their franchise.
Thomas doesn't show any interest in this team and it shows by the way the Knicks don't even run proffesional shootarounds before games. Look at the Heat. They have a record worst than NY and they still come prepared, 90 minutes before a game ready to play while the Knicks show up late and joke around.
Everything about this team is just pathetic and it starts with the coach

Moped riders could soon face a bumpy road ahead.
That's because lawmakers gave the green light for a bill that would make it more expensive to operate these machines.
Corbin Thorneau rides his moped everyday to get to school.
"It makes it really easy to get around. It's so laid back here. The moped is the perfect vehicle for that," said Thorneau.
It's a cheap way for students like him to commute without the hassle.
"The registration fee is $15 dollars when you buy the moped and a couple bucks here and there for gas. It's relatively inexpensive and maybe cheaper than a bus pass for the most part," said Thorneau.
But under house bill 1324, the moped bill introduced by State Representative Ty Cullen, moped operators would have to register their vehicles annually instead of the one-time registration fee that's required now.
Seeing fatal accidents involving these small motorized vehicles are becoming too common for drivers like Cortney Midla, a nurse who supports the bill.
"Anything that would improve safety on the streets because they do move quickly through traffic. It's something we should consider to improve the safety of our streets," said Midla.
State Representative Sharon Har also believes there's a growing safety concern with inexperienced moped riders who do not have licenses.
"With limited lanes in our state, motorists and moped riders alike must share the roads. This bill will help to ensure that our roads are safer for both," said Har.
Operators would also be required to get their mopeds inspected every year and enroll in safety courses before being allowed to ride away from stores like Apex Motorsports.
Store owners like Danny Shin believe it's bad news for business.
"It's a lot of steps they have to go through. I heard they have to take classes and it's just a headache to get it done," said Shinn.

June 24, 2004: Take a virtual ride to the outer reaches of the universe and explore 10 billion years of galactic history, from fully formed and majestic spiral galaxies to disheveled collections of stars just beginning to form. WATCH: HubbleMinute Video HubbleMinute on IMAX Film and "The Making of the Goods Zoom"
This unforgettable cosmic journey is presented in the award-winning IMAX short film, "Hubble: Galaxies Across Space and Time," which transforms images and data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope into a voyage that sweeps viewers across the cosmos. Using the 650-megapixel-mosaic image created by the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS), more than 11,000 galaxy images were extracted and assembled into an accurate 3-D model for the three-minute movie. The large-format film was created by a team of Hubble image and visualization experts in the Office of Public Outreach at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Md. The film was directed by Frank Summers, an astrophysicist and science visualization specialist.See the rest:
The original idea was to create a video-resolution film exploring the three-dimensional structure, and concurrently the time evolution, of the nearly 30,000 galaxies in an image from the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS). During test visualizations with a prelimary image (230 megapixels), it became apparent that video resolution (0.3 megapixels) would not be adequate to show the immmense range of detail in the image. Test visuals on a 21-megapixel visualization display wall showed the potential of an IMAX film (23 megapixels per frame), and the IMAX Corporation was contacted and agreed to donate film-mastering services to the project. The final GOODS image (650 megapixels) was transformed into more than 4,000 IMAX resolution digital frames, creating about 100 billion pixels for the three-minute film.
The team began with a matched set of four observations from GOODS. These data were combined, cropped, and cleaned to create an image suitable for public presentation. Using galaxy data provided by the GOODS team, some 30,000 individual galaxy images were extracted from the master image and isolated. These galaxies were then cross-matched against a catalog of galaxy redshifts created by the GOODS team using ground-based observations. Over 11,000 galaxies had identifiable redshifts, and could thus be assigned a distance in a 3-D model. Using a 3-D animation program, the team flew a virtual camera through the galaxies to create a series of digital frames for the fly-through sequence. Other sequences were created with 2-D pans and composited overlays using the master image and two Hubble galaxy observations. The digital files were then shipped to California, where they were recorded onto IMAX film.


text: I have decided to give breastfeeding another shot. My baby just turned 3 months recently. I breastfed him and supplemented with formula for the first 3 weeks of his life (mostly formula). I have had this urge to give breastfeeding another try and it is not going away. I rented a hospital grade pump, the medela lactina and met with my lactation consultant. I have had the pump for 7 days now and have been pumping every 3 hours for 20 minutes. I have missed a few late night feedings because I missed my alarm. Before starting my milk had completely dried up. I am now getting maybe a teaspoon a day, which doesn't seem like much. I am taking fenugreek and eating oatmeal daily, plus drinking lots of water. I do not want to take any type of prescription drug to increase my milk supply. My baby will sometimes latch on to nurse, but it doesn't last for more than a few moments. I just ordered the medela SNS and I am hoping that speeds things up. Am I on the right track? How much milk can I expect to make in the future and how long does it take to increase milk supply? I have two older children who need my attention too and want to ensure it is possible for me to re-lactate and that this is not a lost cause. Thanks for your help!

- Abstract
- We outline the case for a comprehensive wide and deep survey ultimately targeted at obtaining 21-cm HI line emission spectroscopic observations of more than a billion galaxies to redshift z > 1.5 over half the sky. This survey provides a database of galaxy redshifts, HI gas masses, and galaxy rotation curves that would enable a wide range of science, including fundamental cosmology and studies of Dark Energy. This science requires the next generation of radio arrays, which are being designed under the umbrella of the 'Square Kilometer Array' (SKA) project. We present a science roadmap, extending to 2020 and beyond, that would enable this ambitious survey. We also place this survey in the context of other multi-wavelength surveys.
