It's a given, this year more CIOs will shift their focus from selective IT efficiency to overall IT effectiveness. In 2014 and beyond, enterprise IT leadership will be judged on their ability to meet the demands of tech-savvy Line of Business users.
This is the type of meaningful progress that CEOs have been anticipating. But that organizational realignment won't always translate into higher budgets. Here's why.
According to the latest market study by International Data Corporation (IDC), worldwide IT spending will increase by just 4.1 percent in constant currency this year -- that's down from their previous forecast of 4.6 percent and also down from 2013 growth of 4.5 percent.
IDC believes that pent-up demand should eventually drive more business technology capital spending in the second half of 2014, as some organizations replace ageing infrastructure -- including servers, storage and networking equipment. So, what caused this dip in IT spending?
"As smartphone growth continues to cool from the phenomenal expansion of the past few years, tablet shipments have also performed weaker than expected over the past couple of quarters," said Stephen Minton, vice president at IDC.
Cloud Services Will Disrupt Traditional IT Budgets
Around 10 percent of software spending will have already moved to the cloud by the end of 2014, while Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) will represent 15 percent of all spending on servers and storage.
While this shift is creating significant disruption, it's also driving equally significant short-term opportunities for smart CIOs and IT managers that can successfully deploy cloud-based solutions.
Meanwhile, both cloud and traditional IT spending will be driven by the underlying demand for server and storage capacity, fueled by the data generated from the previous explosive growth of mobile devices in the workplace.
The opportunity to extract value from this accumulated Big Data repository is also driving strong demand for analytics tools. How they decide to deploy these tools will be the subject of much debate among IT leaders.
Many organizations will choose a gradual journey to adopt cloud services -- with security, reliability and regulatory factors in mind, they'll likely deploy more open hybrid cloud solutions.
Global Pockets of New Business Technology Spending
Based upon IDC's regional assessment, Western Europe is forecast to reach IT growth of 2 percent in constant currency terms, as most countries continue to shake off the debt crisis and return to a more stable business climate.
Similarly, business confidence is gradually improving in the U.S. market, after the sequester and government shutdown of last year. Server and storage spending will rebound to positive growth after last year's slowdown, while IT services growth will accelerate to more than 2 percent.
In Canada, IT spending growth will accelerate from 3.3 percent last year to 5 percent in 2014 -- mostly due to stronger spending on PCs, servers and storage.
Japan is a different story. The prior demand was largely consumed in 2013, when the government's deflation-busting policies boosted business confidence and when IT buyers moved to take advantage of lower prices before new taxes came into effect at the beginning of 2014.
As a result, IT spending in Japan increased by 3.4 percent last year, but will decline by 1 percent in 2014.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

Hello I would like to change the visibility of specific part of the skin at run time, but i dont know how to reach it.
What do you mean by "reach it"?
Both the component class and the skin class have a reference to the skin part by using that component's name. How I would usually hide a skin part at run time is using this process:
1) Create a new Skin State; something like "skinPartHidden"
2) In the Component class; create a skinPartVisible property. When the property value is changed; call the invalidateSkinState() method. This will cause getCurrentSkinState() to run during the next render event.
3) In the get getCurrentSkinState() method; use that property's value to set the skin state to your new skinPartHidden skin state. Something like his:
4) In the skin class; toggle the visibility of the skin Part based on the skin state using the MXML state Syntax. Something like this:
It depends on what part do you want to hide/reveal. If you're talking about some skin specific graphics (which is not represented as
For changing visibility of known declared skin part you can use the modifications of strategies listed above. In the second strategy you needn't to declare skin part :)

Kellie Pickler Admits She Doesn't Think She's All That Sexy
Kellie Pickler sat down with talk show host Bethenny Frankel on 'Bethenny' this week, showing both her funny and her sexy side while on the show.
Kellie Pickler sat down with talk show host Bethenny Frankel on 'Bethenny' this week, showing both her funny and her sexy side while on the show.
Several country stars took up residence and performed on floats at the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade yesterday (Nov. 28), including the lovely and talented Kellie Pickler, who looked ravishing in red as she performed her new hit 'Little Bit Gypsy.' Carrie Underwood was on hand for an interview, too.
Kellie Pickler is willing to throw a few back on national television and write lyrics with intensely raw emotions, but she's not going to bare it all in Playboy...at least, not yet.
The 2013 American Country Awards nominees (aka the ACAs) have been announced, and it's Taylor Swift who is leading the charge and reigning supreme with a whopping eight nominations this year.
Who knew that pulling over to use the bathroom on the side of the road could be so painful? I promise you that your sides will be hurting from laughing after you hear what happened to Kellie Pickler.
Keith Urban has a new song inside the Top 5 of the list of Top 40 country songs for October 2013. It's the second straight month he's done that, but he achieved the feat with two different songs. 'We Were Us,' Urban's duet with Miranda Lambert, isn't No. 1 this month. That honor goes to a song that is indisputably the hottest song in country music -- even if it's not everyone's favorite song.
It's country corn maze season! Kellie Pickler is the latest artist to have her face cut into a field of corn.
Country artists have played via satellite before, but never like this. Carrie Underwood's Saturday (Aug. 3) set at WE Fest in Detroit Lakes, Minn. was preceded by an introduction from the International Space Station. Astronaut Karen Nyberg had the honor, and did so without the assistance of gravity.
Is this the most annoying musical instrument to be invented? This could take the place of the plastic recorder that we give our children in elementary school. If I was the maker of BC Powders I would buy a million of these and give them away at children's birthday parties. Imagine the up tick in sales of BC once Mom and Dad had about 15 minutes of this noise.


text: My son is good about getting up in the mornings and eating breakfast. However, once it is time to brush teeth and get dressed, he becomes a crazed 6-year-old. He whines and complains, tries every stalling tactic he can think of, and often breaks down and cries. These actions lead to fights between us, and I don't like for either of us to start our days on such negative notes. I am not sure what to do. Of course I am trying to get us both out the door so I can take him to school and then get to work, but usually we end up leaving late because of these morning tantrums. I have tried all kinds of things -- no TV until he has eaten and gotten dressed. Brush teeth first thing after waking up. Getting him up earlier. It never seems to help. Does anyone have any advice?

That being said... what is the purpose of this site? Education and action if you ask me. Maybe no explanation should be required but at least we should know who is doing the downvoting so that we can start to see what is happening behind the scenes and who is suppressing information around here.
The lame stream media suppresses info like crazy. As soon as this site started getting really popular last year we started seeing that happen here... at least I did.
Now as the DP grows... how much more skewed do we want the public opinion to be? Is the penalty for growth that the truth should suffer?

Health Beat: Weekend warriors: Train like Olympians
Updated On: Apr 18 2014 04:41:15 PM CDT
Julian Kyer is a serious cyclist who wants to constantly test his limits.
"I'm competitive about it," said Kyer, 25.
Now, with the help of a program at the University of Colorado's Health and Wellness Center, Kyer undergoes a battery of tests — usually available only to elite athletes — to improve his performance while preventing serious injury and overtraining.
"The mask we wear when we're in the lab is the same thing as an emissions test on your car," Kyer explained.
For example, one machine measures the gas exchange in Kyer's body. The test shows how efficiently carbs and fat are being burned while he bikes.
In another test, tiny blood samples reveal the release of lactic acid, which acts like a temporary fuel source during intense workouts. Doctors then use the results to design an individual exercise plan.
"The majority of people that are entering these sports, they don't know how to train. They don't know how to eat, how to recover. They are all over the map," said Iñigo San Millán, director, sports performance program, Anschutz Health & Wellness Center/CU Sports Medicine, University of Colorado School of Medicine.
The tests revealed that Kyer needed to increase his ability to clear lactic acid and also increase his carbohydrate intake. For Kyer, this meant more endurance training.
San Millán warns that restricting carbs in athletes can lead to overtraining and even muscle damage.
Julian's power output went from about 240 watts to 270 watts. The more watts you produce the fitter you are.
"The average athlete, they are going to get a lot out of this kind of testing," Kyer said.
The cost of training like an Olympian is not cheap. The initial test is $450.
A specific workout called lactate clearance interval ride is good for clearing lactic acid. Cyclists should do the first half of their ride at their maximum sustainable power for a given duration and then they should ease back for the second half.
It's also a good option for runners training for a 5k or 10k.

The Sorrows of Ava Lavender
'Love makes us such fools.'
On the surface The Strange and Beautiful sorrows of Ava Lavendar by Leslye Walton is about Ava, a sixteen year old girl born with wings, who yearns to fit in with everyone else. But this novel also traces her family history, a history of love gone wrong, of myths and fables.
It begins with her grandmother, Emilienne, who fell in love three times before she was nineteen. After the deaths of her siblings, all due to love, or the lack thereof, she married a man she thought would never leave her. Love didn't enter into the equation.
Ava's mother Vivianne is just as much troubled by love as the rest of her family. Falls in love with a boy who, after a one night stand, leaves her. From this one night, Vivianne has two children, winged Ava and silent Henry….but all the time waits for her errant lover to return.
This novel is an interesting mixture of fable and magic realism. Nothing and no one are really how they appear. Vivianne has an unnatural sense of smell and can detect the seasons.
"Summer rain smelled like newly clipped grass, like mouths stained red with berry juice – blueberries, raspberries, blackberries. It smelled like late nights spent pointing constellations out from their starry guises, freshly washed laundry drying outside on the line, like barbecues and stolen kisses in a 1932 Ford Coupe."
One of Emilienne's siblings cuts out her own heart, another quietly turns into a bird. Ghosts freely roam this book as though it is the norm. Now it is Ava's turn to try and find her place. She longs to leave the safety of her home, all that she has ever known. With the help of a friend she sneaks out but now becomes the obsession of a man who believes her to be no mortal woman but an angel.
This novel is like a grown up fairy tale. If you accept that fact and allow yourself to be swept along with some beautiful writing, you'll definitely enjoy this book.

Horns by Joe Hill
Horns by Joe Hill is an interesting book. It depicts the tale of Ig, a man who had just lost his girlfriend who was murdered. People suspect him for the crime and his life becomes a living hell. Ig wakes up one morning to find out he has grown demon horns. He finds out that the horns make others tell him their secrets. He can also control people based on what they have said to him. Ig then decides to use this ability to find out who murdered his girlfriend, and get revenge.
At first I read this very slowly, as I had other things going on but as soon as I found the time to read I was stuck into the book. At first I thought it was boring, with no development happening. I then read on and found it really interesting. Ig is an interesting character, a man who had lost everything he had loved and now cannot stop hearing people's secrets. Ig is portrayed as kind of gloomy, always looking at the past with his girlfriend and trying to find out who had murdered her. Ig's best friend Lee is portrayed as a shifty kind of character, always acting suspicious and doing suspicious things. Lee is by far the most interesting character in the book, with his lost eye and his shifty attitude.
The book also plays on a bit of religion, with Ig being more of a demon while Lee is more of an angel or god. The book also explains that Ig's power cannot work on people wearing an holy item (e.g. a cross). This also pushes the religious aspect up. The book also has some parts played in a church, with the priests scared of Ig, as he has demon horns and demon powers. The religion that is displayed in the book however, is very limited, which is a very good thing.
In the end Horns is a very good book, depicting Ig's journey to find his girlfriends killer. I would recommend this book to people who don't mind reading something a bit adult, or are fans of things to do with demons and angels. The book is also getting a movie in the upcoming years, with it staring Daniel Radcliffe as Ig. I would recommend this book to those aged 15+

New York City High Line inspires Philadelphia to redevelop Reading Viaduct

New York City High Line inspires Philadelphia to redevelop Reading Viaduct
The gilded dome of a church is seen from a Reading Railroad Viaduct no longer in use in Philadelphia. A decade-long quest to redevelop a downtown viaduct is getting some traction thanks in part to the success of New York's popular High Line. A community group is extolling the virtues of developing, not demolishing as some would prefer, the Reading Viaduct just north of downtown. AP Photo/Alex Brandon.
By: Joann Loviglio, Associated Press
In a post-industrial neighborhood that inspired one of the strangest movies put to celluloid, a plan is afoot to transform its gloomiest ruin into a walkable elevated oasis.
City officials and neighborhood supporters are preparing designs and raising money to clean and green a three-block branch of the mile-long Reading Viaduct, an abandoned railway that moved commuters and goods from 1893 to 1984, in an area nicknamed "the eraserhood."
The tongue-in-cheek compliment is a reference to the 1977 film "Eraserhead," whose creator, David Lynch, lived within the grim patchwork of crumbling factories and vacant warehouses as an art student in the 1960s and called it his muse for the movie's bleak and bizarre urban wasteland.
Over the ensuing decades, empty buildings have been built into loft apartments and artists' studios but large plots remain stubbornly isolated. Turning the eyesore into an inviting greenway will attract people, development and business, say members of the Reading Viaduct Project.
"This can be a park that not only benefits the neighborhood but the whole city," said Sarah McEneaney, a painter who since 1979 has lived in this six-block-wide community dubbed the Loft District by real estate agents and officially known as Callowhill. With bustling Chinatown to its south and hipster hangout Northern Liberties to the north, parts of the neighborhood feel like a no-man's land.
Inspired by similar efforts in New York City, McEneaney and fellow neighborhood resident John Struble created the nonprofit Reading Viaduct Project in 2003 and began promoting the elevated park idea. Their efforts picked up steam after the High Line, an old rail bed on Manhattan's west side remade into an elevated park, opened to kudos and crowds in 2009. Similar projects have been proposed in cities including Chicago and St. Louis.
"An asset like this will never be built again," said Struble, a woodworker who has called Callowhill home since 1997. "There's too much potential to let it go away. When landscape architects see it, they get very excited it's a blank slate."
Walking on the viaduct, with its 360-degree views, it's easy to see why. The railway, already overtaken by small trees, flowering plants and tall grasses waving in the wind, resembles a meadow weaving among a series of huge old buildings some redeveloped, some vacant. The entrance to the viaduct is gated and locked but mattresses, liquor bottles and other detritus make it clear that people frequent or live along the rusting tracks.
"This is a neighborhood with no parks, no green space," Struble said. "The viaduct as a park would make it a much more welcoming, pleasant place to be."
Seeing was believing for Paul Levy of the Center City District, an influential private sector-sponsored business improvement organization. He was a skeptic until he checked out the High Line shortly after it opened, followed by a walk on the arched stone span.
"For a very long time, I was not a big believer in the concept," he said. "From below the viaduct all you see is broken glass and dark shadows ... but once you get up in the air there's this wonderful sense of overview, perspectives you can't otherwise see."
But there are challenges to opening those views to the world. Though a study commissioned by the Center City District estimated it would cost $14 million less to stabilize and landscape the viaduct than it would to demolish it, no funding sources have emerged. And the owner of most of the viaduct hasn't approved the development yet, Levy said.
Reading International, a California-based entertainment conglomerate that absorbed the remnants of the defunct Reading Railroad, is in discussion with city officials, who would not comment on the ongoing talks.
Until the ownership and funding issues are hammered out, a more modest plan calls for development of a spur of the viaduct owned by the region's transit agency, which has given permission for the project. A William Penn Foundation grant is paying for initial design ideas, Levy said.
"We're talking about a $3 million to $5 million piece that could be achievable and used as a demonstration" to boost the rest of the project, Levy said. "We don't need to spend $150 million like the High Line. We don't need something elaborate for it to be an asset that everyone can enjoy."
Not everyone has been keen on the idea.
Some neighbors, many in bordering Chinatown, want the viaduct demolished to make way for affordable housing and worry that a park will gentrify the area and push out longtime residents. They are also upset about a proposal to create an improvement district that would require a fee from property owners for services like trash removal and street cleaning.
The tax would amount to about $140 a year for a property owner paying $2,000 in real estate taxes. Opinions differ on whether that's a bargain considering the benefits, or a burden for fixed-income and elderly property owners.
"A tax increase will be a real hardship to me," James Morton, 68, said at a City Hall hearing in September. "Sometimes I don't have enough money to pay for all my medicine each month."
Viaduct development proponents have been talking more with Chinatown neighbors to dispel rumors and make them part of the process, McEneaney said.
"There's plenty of room to develop the viaduct and have more housing," she said. "We can have affordable housing and green space to make the neighborhood a better place to live."
Rob Schuler, a photographer who lives just north of Callowhill and said the viaduct is one of his favorite models, thinks a park would mean the end of the old "eraserhood" moniker.
"Maybe there will be a time when that name goes away because it will be completely transformed," he said while setting up his tripod in a sunny spot below a coal-blackened stone archway. "It won't have any resemblance to that scary, dark place anymore. It's a cool movie, but good riddance, you know?"

ABT, a Euro tuning house, has been up to all sorts of fun/crazy stuff these days, a heavily modded VW Scirocco Coupe and a worked over Audi Q5 and R8 to mention three. They continue on in that vein with their new massaged Audi S5, which they dub the AS5-R and whose most outstanding feature is 510HP.
The AS5-R makes its debut at next month's Geneva Show. The ABT version of the A5 coupe includes an updated version of the current S5′s 344HP 4.2-liter V8 engine, modified to crank out 510-horsepower. ABT is staying schtum on any more info on the AS5-R, but aside from the massaged engine, you'll also notice a new body kit, larger alloy wheels along with a modified suspension and a more powerful braking system. About what you'd expect.

I don't even know what to think. We've got all the money in the world. We've got so many young assets that we don't have spots for them all. We've got a trade market flush with high end players because ten other teams are looking to shake up their rosters too.
If this isn't the perfect time to make substantial moves then I don't know when is. I'm all for the idea of drafting and developing as a means to success, but surely Holland doesn't believe that you should exclusively do that and only augment your team with role players. But it's starting to look that way.
I'm just confused. I have no idea where his head's at or what he's thinking.
...but in the same breath he mentions Moulson and Stastny. Those are names I could live with.
As far as defense goes... Those are fine. Not what I really want, but Stralman has simplified his game and would be a solid piece. Morris and Gilbert are decent puck-movers. Can't complain too much. If we're not going for broke I don't see why we'd want to take on Boyle (he wants cash and term) and Robidas is just aged and broken down. (38 and 48 games played in the last two years)
I'm not sure how adding mediocre pieces to a mediocre team makes us better. I think he's hedging his bets that we'll be better with the growth of the young guys. But their growth is entirely offset by the decline in our vets. Does anybody really think that Dats, Z, Franzen will be healthy this year? And if they aren't, does anybody really believe that the kids will offset that? Even with the additions of Stralman or Boyle or Jokinen?

Carolina Hurricanes (1-0-0) at Tampa Bay Lightning (0-2-0), 7:30 p.m.
(Sports Network) - After getting swept in their two-game European swing, the
Tampa Bay Lightning begin a five-game homestand tonight at St. Pete Times
Forum against the Carolina Hurricanes.
The Lightning dropped back-to-back 2-1 games to the New York Rangers in Prague
last weekend. Adam Hall scored the lone goal in Sunday's loss in the Czech
Republic, while Olaf Kolzig made his Tampa Bay debut with 37 saves. Kolzig had
been with Washington since it drafted him in the first round of the 1989
Netminder Mike Smith made 39 saves the previous day's game. He is 0-2 with a
5.50 goals against average in two career starts versus Carolina, while Kolzig
is 26-14-1 with eight ties and a 2.35 GAA in 49 career games against the
Hurricanes, 48 of those starts.
Tampa Bay, which has yet to win under new head coach Barry Melrose, made a
roster move on Monday following the trek, acquiring defenseman Lukas Krajicek
and forward Juraj Simek from the Vancouver Canucks for defenseman Shane
O'Brien and forward Michel Ouellet. It is unknown if Krajicek will make his
debut tonight for the Lightning, who host the New York Islanders on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Carolina used balanced scoring to win its season opener on Friday,
getting goals from six different players in a 6-4 win over Florida. Joni
Pitkanen and Dan LaCouture scored in their Hurricane debuts, while Tuomo
Ruutu, Ray Whitney and Rod Brind'Amour also lit the lamp. Matt Cullen added an
empty-net tally in the win.
Brind'Amour played despite undergoing surgery on his left knee just over three
weeks ago. Carolina was without Justin Williams and Scott Walker, however.
Williams is expected to miss four-to-six weeks due to a torn right Achilles,
while Walker could miss up to six weeks due to left hand surgery.
Cam Ward halted 29-of-33 shots to get the win while Tim Gleason notched a pair
of assists. Brandon Sutter got his first NHL point with an assist in his debut
for Carolina.
Ward is 7-7-1 with a 3.00 GAA in 16 career games versus the Lightning, all but
one of those starts.
These two teams split eight meetings last year, though the Lightning have won
eight of the last 12 in the series. That includes wins in four of the last
five as the host.

Research from North Carolina State University shows that some insect pests are thriving in warm, urban environments and developing earlier, limiting the impact of parasitoid wasps that normally help keep those pest populations in check.
When female fruit flies have to decide where to lay their eggs, they take their lead from what they see most others in their group do, new research shows.

There And Back Again
... stop between Appleton and Green Bay, Wisonsin, which isn't as bad as it sounds. I parked in a lot away from the semis and bright lights, which allowed me better sleep than the night before when I had only pulled of on the side of the road.
I was most excited to be in Wisconsin, though. Why, you may ask? Well, not because of Mall of America. Not because of cheese (kind of because of cheese). It was because one of my best friends, Morgan, was living in Madison ...
Flood, Mule Deer, Register Cliff and Wagon Ruts
... from the late 1700's and pictographs from Native Americans who inhabited or traveled through this area. A fence surrounded some of the cliffs, but not all of it. Any photos I took were of those names and dates during the covered wagon period in the early 1850's.
Our next stop was only a mile or so away where the covered wagon wheels had cut deep "ruts" into the soft sandstone. I was surprised that the "ruts" were so large and deep, and because they were in ...
Chugwater was closed!
... gas station, general store and the corporate headquarters (double wide modular home) of Chugwater Chili. I was keen to try the local chili, but at 10 AM on Sa***************quarters were closed. The general store, ice cream parlor and grocery boasted Chugwater Chili in the window. It too, was closed.
Of course, when I was driving out a local guy exited his pickup and walked right into the General Store. I guess open signs are ...
Cheyenne - a little western state capital.
... security (think airport). I made it through fine, but the grandson set off the buzzer when he walked through the scanner...not once, but twice. The guard asked him if he had coins, a necklace and Dylan turned his pockets inside out and said no. He had to be wanded. They did let him in. The tour itself is only about 30 mins. and the Denver Mint makes coins. We were fortunate enough to see pennies being pressed, as well as quarters destined for coin collectors ...
Custer's Last Stand
... the clusters of white marble monuments marking where the 7th Calvary fell (including General Custer himself) made something one would read in a dull history book suddenly real and visceral. The nearby sculpture/memorial to the Native American's who died in the confrontation was another solemn/contemplative experience, that was until some loud tourists arrived and wrecked the silence. When people move away the silence is broken only by the ...
