With an explosion of branded content being pushed on social channels, individuals are receiving too much noise.

Actuate Corporation (NASDAQ: BIRT), The BIRT Company and an Amazon Web Services (AWS) APN Advanced Technology Partner, today announced enhanced options for their customers using Amazon DynamoDB and other AWS services for their high performance, BIRT-based business analytics. The enhancements provide flexibility for on premises and cloud deployments of BIRT-based applications.
Big Data Connectivity Your Way: ActuateOne® with Amazon DynamoDB
Actuate has created a native connector for Amazon DynamoDB, allowing users to directly ingest data from their Amazon DynamoDB instances into Big Data analytics applications. Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service that provides fast and predictable performance with seamless scalability. With Amazon DynamoDB, developers can store and retrieve any amount of data to serve any level of request traffic. The ActuateOne native connector optimizes data processing and data management by leveraging Amazon DynamoDB query and filtering capabilities. With ActuateOne's unique elastic clustering capabilities, the connector allows capacity to be dynamically added or removed from a cluster to handle changing application workload requirements. Native support for Amazon DynamoDB's key features, such as binary data types, allows customers to reduce the size of items stored – ultimately lowering the cost of storage and throughput.
As businesses focus on improving corporate performance while striving to meet stringent service level agreements (SLAs), data volumes and the demand to gain insights from that data are growing. In this environment it is important to choose scalable, elastic, IT infrastructure services that are capable of reacting to changing demands for consuming and analyzing information. ActuateOne built on Amazon DynamoDB keeps resources nimble as an organization's Big Data strategy evolves.
"The ActuateOne native connector for DynamoDB provides an additive element to AWS by helping Actuate's customers reduce the complexity and cost of provisioning, configuring, and operating scalable business intelligence and information applications for traditional and Big Data sources," said Terry Wise, Head of Worldwide Partner Ecosystem, AWS. "We're pleased Actuate has chosen to build ActuateOne on Amazon DynamoDB to help reduce the cost of Big Data deployments."
"We're pleased to be providing native support for Amazon DynamoDB. ActuateOne's advanced visualizations and ability to build, manage and deploy high-scale, intuitive applications on distributed and traditional data sources, results in applications with high end-user adoption," said Nobby Akiha, SVP of Marketing at Actuate. "High adoption, in turn, fuels additional user population growth and application relevance."
Big Data Application Deployment: Amazon Web Services and BIRT onDemand
BIRT onDemand, Actuate's PaaS solution for Business Intelligence, analytics and visualization, built on the AWS cloud computing platform, provides the flexibility to build custom BIRT-based information applications regardless of use case or industry, making it simple to deploy end user configurable dashboards and in-memory analytics on top of any traditional or distributed data source. Organizations can save time and money, and let BIRT onDemand manage their information application infrastructure, without compromising scalability, security, or dependability.
BIRT onDemand subscriptions come pre-configured with data storage using Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) and offer the following benefits:
* Publish BIRT-based information applications securely to users outside the firewall;
* Eliminate server management costs and reduce IT involvement by providing an ideal hosted platform for all BIRT applications;
* Enhance existing BIRT applications by adding instant-on interactivity and analysis capabilities;
* Deliver BIRT content to touch devices including iPhone®, iPad™ and Android devices;
* Support for relational, distributed and cloud databases, including DynamoDB.
Actuate founded and co-leads the BIRT open source project, which is used by more than 2 million developers around the globe and serves as the foundation of the ActuateOne® platform. Applications built on ActuateOne deliver more business and consumer insights to more people than all BI companies combined - ensuring organizations are ready for the exponential growth of Big Data and the proliferation of touch devices.
The ActuateOne platform empowers developers to rapidly develop custom, BIRT-based business analytics and customer communications applications. ActuateOne applications built with one BIRT design can access and integrate any data, including unstructured sources. They provide one user experience regardless of skill level and are supported by one platform for any cloud, hybrid, on-premise, web or touch device deployment.
Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Actuate has over 5,000 customers globally in a diverse range of business areas including financial services, technology and the public sector. Actuate is listed on NASDAQ under the symbol BIRT. For more information, visit www.actuate.com or engage with the BIRT community at www.birt-exchange.com.

All of them hand strung using the Toho size 11/0 seed beads in coordination to the colors within each gemstone. My simple design within the necklaces consists of the Czech SuperDuo glass beads along with either silver or gold metal findings and crystal beads. All necklaces are strung with WildFire beading thread. Don't ask me how I was able to string four threads onto those tiny 11/0 seed beads. It was a killer and frustrating at times. I sometimes blurred out some unappropriated language. But, never will I use that "F" bomb. Not in my vocabulary !!! I'm a lady after all.... Anyway, I finished all of my necklaces using either the gold or silver findings : crimps, crimp covers, wire guardians, and these very decorative barrel clasps.

City urged to take harder line

The Rebuild
An insurance expert is calling on the Christchurch City Council to refuse building consents for quake repairs that do not address flood risk.
Lawyer Duncan Webb's comments come after one of the region's major insurers, Southern Response, confirmed it would not pay for floor levels in flood-prone homes to be raised if the work was not required to obtain consent.
Last month, the findings of a city council-commissioned report warned that warming seas, the melting of Antarctic ice and the increased likelihood of tsunamis raised the chances of some coastal communities going under water.
The report sparked questions about which authority should foot the bill to raise large chunks of Christchurch land.
Webb, a partner at Lane Neave, said insurers tended to do "the least extensive repairs they possibly can", therefore the onus should be on the council to ensure existing homes did not fall under flood plain heights.
There was "an underlying natural hazard problem" with granting consent to flood-prone properties.
"The council wouldn't give consent to a property with a rockfall risk unless there was some form of risk mitigation, like a wall," he said. "They should be taking the same approach for flooding."
Southern Response chief executive Peter Rose said last week that the insurer would only raise floor levels for new builds, not home repairs.
The Earthquake Commission (EQC) will not raise a property's floor level, even if it is in a flood-prone area, if the work was not required for consent.
Rose said a recent High Court decision agreed with the insurers' interpretation of their obligation.
Even if the council did require floor levels to be raised, there is still the question of who would pay.
Insurance Council of New Zealand chief executive Tim Grafton said insurers, EQC and the council were in "the throes of discussing this issue and . . . what approach needs to be taken".
Insurance companies would comply with regulations and the council "was at liberty to change the rules if they wish".
However, the council did not require homes being repaired to be raised.
"The problem that arises now is should that floor level be required to be raised in a repairable situation? And that, of course, raises the question of who pays for that?"
Council natural environment and heritage unit manager Helen Beaumont said about 17,000 properties were in flood-prone areas and this figure would be revised as part of the District Plan review to address changes due to the earthquakes.
"There are significant challenges around this issue and we are working hard to resolve them."
Christchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel said yesterday she was not in a position to comment on who would pay for floor levels to be raised. "I'm not sure whether all the questions around liability have yet been resolved."

Hurt so good,
This review is from: Swag Town (Paperback)
Okay, so I like awful, cheeseball things, and boy this book is it. (I actually found one of the sequels to this.)
It takes place in a crappy future. Think Tango and Cash, Robocop, The Adventures of Ford Fairlane. And Swag is just this guy. Kind of a jerk really, which is why in my head the movie stars Bruce Cambell, not the dude on the cover.
Swag is this guy who isn't really a private investigator and isn't really a bodyguard. He's just this odd job guy who does whatever to make money. He used to be a cop, and the story of how he got the nickname Swag is also the story of why he isn't a cop anymore. He wears Hawaiian shirts and sucks at life.
The story starts when a client is gunned down. The first client we meet, and apparently Swag is not just a bodyguard on occasion but a really awful one. The rest of the book is Swag trying to figure out why she was killed, why some other people start getting killed, and an overcomplicated conspiracy is revealed.
It is a little slow going, but once you get into it. It's every bad 80's action movie set in the far off future year of 1994. It's a little stupid and the violence is gratuitous, but that's what makes it great. There are some genuinely funny moments (Swag going off on some bank teller over his current Hawaiian shirt is especially great) that the author intended to be funny. The rest is funny in that over-the-top way that makes me long for the days of Total Recall. (This is not such a distant future that we've colonized Mars, I regret to inform you.)
So, if Paul Verhoven is reading this, please make a movie based on this book. Starring Bruce Cambell. It could be magic.

Maybe someone at the FBI doesn't know the difference between Wikipedia and Wikileaks and decided to declare Jimmy Wales "Public Enemy #1."
"Aspirational version" – that's beautiful
I don't get it. Wouldn't it be in the interest of the FBI that as many people as is humanly possible know what their seal looks like?
Please don't tell the FBI about brandsoftheworld.com
Easy: They've got 'Wiki' in their name, and therefore are clearly linked to Wikileaks, and must be brought down using any means possible.
Hmm. Who does the FBI work for again?
Bravo! It's so rare that lawyers get to have fun drafting letters like this one, or the one from the blue-jeans cables.
Ahhh the U.S Goverment… why have common sense, intelligence, or integrity when you can have incompetence, prevarication, corruption and a very unsubtle fear of an informed populace that exercises their rights to the fullest extent?
I think it has to do more with free culture than with wiki leaks. The company that's defending Hollywood may not want anyone to be able to state (as fact) what they think of them, and Wikipedia allows that.
I see that the lawyer who wrote the feisty reply is no other than Mike Godwin, of "Godwin's Law." Fantatic letter!
I see that the lawyer who wrote the feisty reply is no other than Mike Godwin, of "Godwin's Law." Fantatic letter!
Christ, what a Nazi.
Yes, very hard to understand. Why, no part of the federal government has ever done anything foolish and embarrassing before, nor misconstrued or misrepresented the law. What a strange fluke, this incident.
For me, this calls into question the FBI's interpretation of the laws they are called upon to enforce. The agency's expansion of powers over the past few years combined with a possibly self-serving or erroneous interpretation of the law is not comforting.
If it were the CIA, you would receive no notice or warning.
FBI is the new Nazi movement. Sorry! :)
"With all appropriate respect" -> we need a bigger :-)
Cool! I've been looking for a new FB profile pic and now I have it.
I encourage everyone to follow the link above to the NYT article, then follow the link there to the .pdf of the original letter and read the whole thing (it's not very long). That may be the most beautifully-written legal reply I've ever read. Kudos to Mr. Godwin.
I just did (read the whole letter) and I'm a better person for it. Three cheers for Mike Godwin.
Agreed on that one – the original letter is worth reading. It's rare that a legally unambiguous and concise letter is also clearly written and an enjoyable read.
@Mark, I was gonna say the same thing! He has a knack for clever writing.
Ludicrous! The FBI in this case is acting like a private corporation. As far as I know American tax payers paid the salary of the designer as well as the time spent by FBI staff in wrongly trying bend the law. Who owns the FBI and the seal?
The part that's hard to understand is why the FBI would seek to abuse the law in such petulant fashion, knowing that it will be subject to public ridicule for its actions.
From the Times article: An F.B.I. spokesman, William Carter, said that such letters go out "from time to time†from the office of general counsel.
The current GC is Valerie Caproni, who held the job under Bush. She's not the worst of the last administration–she's apparently responsible for seeing that FBI agents didn't engage in "enhanced interrogations"–but seriously, any lawyer who valued the Constitution wouldn't have given them the time of day.
Apparently the kind of people who used to try to publicly shame you because you broke some formal etiquette in your flag-hanging? … are still out there.
From the NYT article: "The problem, those at Wikipedia say, is that the law cited in the F.B.I.'s letter is largely about keeping people from flashing fake badges or profiting from the use of the seal…"
Wikipedia does indeed profit from use of the seal. "Omg we are so cool we are Wikicultists we made the best encyclopedia evar!"
I'd argue that the law, as "those at Wikipedia say," runs into First Amendment problems. But, the people who run Wikipedia do profit from having good articles, and an image makes an article better.
"The part that's hard to understand is why the FBI would seek to abuse the law in such petulant fashion, knowing that it will be subject to public ridicule for its actions."
I sense office politics. A more junior web-savvy FBI lawyer "advises" a more senior FBI lawyer who is clueless about the web to pursue this course of action with vigor. This contributes to a series of events leading to a shift in management in this particular FBI department, possibly to the the junior lawyer's advantage.
I'm betting this logo thing is the only thing Wikileaks does that isn't strictly the purview of the CIA.
And that obviously chafed someone at the FBI pretty bad.
'with all appropriate respect'… I'm so going to steal this sign off!
I agree. The last line in the letter is the best:
With all appropriate respect,
Mike Godwin
I am totally stealing that Complimentary Closing for when I write to small-minded, arrogant, mendacious, authoritarian assholes.
Like probably a zillion other people, I immediately followed the link and downloaded the thing. It might come in handy. Whenever I see evidence of an egregious abuse of power, I can simply use this thing (or a suitably modified version of it…after all, I wouldn't want to break the law) as "The Fascist Idiots' Seal of Approval".
How embarrassing. They should have consulted with whichever department of the Federal government that's supposed to know about laws and stuff.
You know how a 2 year old child will deliberately do things they know are wrong to test the point at which they will be able to get away with it?
All government agencies are 2 year old children.
It's the Federal Bureau of what? Inquisition? Interrogation? Information? Inference? Instigation? Ineptitude? Inflation? Irrelevance? Illegality? Irritation? Help me out here…
What's the plural of ignoramus?
FB of Irony, of course!
Note that most bootleg movies leave out the FBI copyright warning. Maybe copying the logo is what the warning is about, not the movie that follows..
Dear Federal Bureau of Investigation,
We paid for your goddamned seal, and we'll use it however we goddamned please.
The Citizens of the United States
You win. :)
I love the "appropriate." So much better than the usual "with all due respect," even if you underline 'due'.
Whoever wrote the takedown letter deserves mockery, not respect.
Really idiotic. Whose idea @ the FBI was it to pursue this? Christ, what assholes.
Wikipedia really abuses the notions of "fair use" and "public domain."
As a photo researcher, I've been asked many times to obtain the seals of government agencies and permission to reproduce them in textbooks. Unlike much other government material, these seals are NOT in the public domain.
Your point makes sense. The same logic sounds like it applies to unauthorized possession of law enforcement badges, etc.
"Unlike much other government material, these seals are NOT in the public domain."
If the seal was public domain, fair use would be irrelevant. The whole point of fair use is that one can make limited use of copyrighted materials without permission.
Among law enforcement types, the FBI is nicknamed 'The Feebs'. I think we all know why now.
"not the aspirational version" is such a great line.
I came hoping the seal would be at the top of the article. I was not disappointed.
You mean BB is not afraid of idiot bullies?! Oh noes!
From the point of view of a marketing/advertising person, the seal is their "brand" or logo. The correct protocol of any person or company wanting to use a logo in an article should always ask permission. The company or agency who has the logo usually makes sure it will not be used inappropriately. I agree that it does not hurt the FBI to have their seal used in that way but it is still their decision.
I see there are man other logos/seals on Wikipedia. Did they ask permission to use those? While the exposure only helps nonprofit and governmental agencies, it still requires their permission, especially when there is a TM, SM or copyright.
The CIA once sent me a letter with their seal on it. It was high quality. That letter could have easily been used to make a beliveable card. Under the FBI's logic, just having the letter would be unauthorized becuase it could be turned into a card. BTW, I kind of see the FBI's point because the seal on Wikipedia is way above necessary resolution.
We should all use the seal on our websites and in our emails. They'd finally have to make use of those phantom PEMA prisons that they built wherever. (No, I don't really believe they exist.)
FEMA, not PEMA. Derp.
Oh, I thought you meant the Pedophile Emergency Management Agency.
To whom in the Federal Bureau of Investigation do I send the invoice to get my tax money back? This is absolutely ridiculous. Whomsoever gave the greenlight on this needs to tender a resignation immediately.
Didn't Rhino Entertainment use to show the FBI seal on their copyright slates at the head of their videos? With some dude in a blue suit (who may have been J. Edgar Hoover for all I know)? And didn't an animated red mustache and goatee get "painted" onto the G-man's face every time?
Or am I remembering that wrong?
Don Kiyoti: "public domain" and "fair use" are copyright concepts and irrelevant here. If, as seems likely, the seal was designed by a US government employee they are works of the US government and not subject to domestic copyright. But the FBI wasn't accusing anybody of copyright, or even trademark violation. They were being accused of violating a specific law that is obviously intended to prevent people from using fake badges to pass themselves off as agents, something that Wikipedia was hardly doing.
It is another action by the braniacs that think brute force is great intimidation factor. They can puff their chest up all they want.
The governemtn is getting really stupid lately, oh never mind In know why. Moving on.

A Colorado man who authorities said admitted to having sexually-explicit communication with at least 13 young girls is facing child pornography charges in Chattanooga.
Prosecutors said two of the girls, ages 12 and 11, live in Cleveland, Tn.
Phillip Passopulo was arraigned on Wednesday before Federal Magistrate Bill Carter. He was ordered to be jailed until his case is resolved.
Last Aug. 14, a Cleveland, Tn., woman told the Bradley County Sheriff's Office that her 12-year-old daughter was contacted by an individual with the Facebook name of "Max.Aiken.56" stating he was 14 years old, lived in Colorado and Virginia and wanted to meet her in Cleveland, Tn.
Two days later, another Cleveland woman came forward and said her 11-year-old daughter became friends with "Max Aiken" on Facebook. She said she found inappropriate messages about having sex.
She said "Aiken" wanted to meet her daughter at the mall in Cleveland. The mother said she posed as her daughter and said she wanted to talk with "Aiken" over the phone. She said when he called he "sounded like a grown man and not a 14-year-old boy." Lisa M. confronted "Aiken" on the phone to which he replied he could not be caught
Prosecutors said "Aiken" sent the girl an explicit photo of a nude young girl and he sent a photo of his private area.
On Nov. 6, a female detective with BCSO, pretending to be one of the girls, made a recorded telephone call to "Aiken." He again said he wanted to come to Cleveland to meet her.
Authorities said they did various Internet search and were able to find that "Aiken" was Phillip Neal Passopulo, who was living with a woman and her young daughter at a residence at Montrose, Colo.
Authorities on March 3 carried out a search at the residence of Passopulo and seized some computers that are being analyzed.
They said Passopulo then made admissions about his contact with the young girls.

Speaking about his own impression of Taiwan's culinary scene, Koh said he had been particularly impressed by the quality of the produce. "The quality that [Taiwan] has in terms of produce is so much higher than what we have in Singapore and Malaysia, or even Indonesia. The level [of quality] is up there with Japan. It was stunning to me going to the markets to see what's available to chefs [in Taiwan], but which they often don't exploit."

Manchester City put in a commanding performance to down Milan 5-1 in Pittsburgh on Sunday.
A Stevan Jovetic brace, along with goals to Scott Sinclair, Jesus Navas and Kelechi Iheanacho saw the Premier League champions to a comfortable victory at Heinz Field in the International Champions Cup.
City were two goals to the good after just 14 minutes courtesy of goals from Jovetic and Sinclair.
Things got worse for new Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi courtesy of two more quick-fire goals from Navas and Iheanacho before the half-hour mark.
A ragged Milan side were able to pull a goal back before the interval through Sulley Muntari before heavy rain and thunderstorms delayed the start of the second half.
After the extended break, Jovetic doubled his tally for the match in the 58th minute to cap a fine performance.
Jovetic opened the scoring after 12 minutes when he finished off a pacy attack by slipping home Navas' through ball at the near post.
Just two minutes later, Sinclair - another of City's peripheral figures last term - reminded Pellegrini of his quality with an expertly-angled finish from inside the area.
Navas got in on the action soon after as City's early onslaught continued with the Spaniard's acrobatic effort finding its way past Milan goalkeeper Michael Agazzi courtesy of a deflection off Andrea Poli.
Amid further hapless Milan defending, 17-year-old Nigerian prospect Iheanacho added a fourth with a poked effort from outside the area.
Muntari salvaged something from the half shortly before the interval but Inzaghi was left with food for thought, having seen his side outplayed.
After being substituted in at half-time, Mario Balotelli made his mark on the contest - tucking away what he thought was Milan's second before being denied by the offside flag.
Jovetic reinstated City's four-goal lead prior to the hour mark, when he combined with Aleksandar Kolarov on the left.
The Montenegro international played a ball out to Kolarov, who played a pass back in for the striker, and he cleverly chipped an on-rushing Milan defender before finishing with his left foot.
The result made it two defeats from as many games for Milan in the International Champions Cup, while Italy's three clubs involved in the United States-based tournament have registered three defeats and one win from four fixtures.

"JPEC taught me essential skills that I have been able to relate into professional entrepreneurial experience. The BELL gave me the opportunity to network with other ambitious students, learn from mentors, as well as help get funding for my businesses. This experience was something I could have never received in a typical classroom."
Chad Lieberman, BBA '12Consulting Analyst, Accenture
"We appreciate the commitment and quality JPEC's student consulting team brought to the project. They performed in-depth research that our company was able to integrate and make better informed decisions as a result of their efforts. We look forward to engaging in another project and recommend this experience to other Iowa startups and early stage companies."
Mike McCoyCEO, SpendSmart
My favorite part about the JPEC program has been the instructors, in particular Joe Sulentic, Joe George, and Rich McCarty. They all are passionate missionaries of the entrepreneurial program but more so of their students and growing their knowledge. They provide students a platform to become successful individuals in and out of the classroom.
