Bill Cosby Gets Standing Ovations During Florida Performance
13 hours ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Last night, Bill Cosby performed to a sold-out crowd at Eastern Florida State College in Melbourne, Florida, and no member of the audience took up a local radio station's offer to disrupt the show over the sexual assault allegations dogging the comedian, reports the New York Times. Instead, they gave Cosby standing ovations when he came onto and left the stage. In an interview with Florida Today, Cosby said the radio station's offer had created a "frat house mentality." "Now suppose someone brings a weapon or decided to do more foolishness," said Cosby. "There will be announcements made and the stations made some disclaimers, but what if people don't listen to what they said and they entice violence. That's not good for anyone."Earlier that day, Renita Chaney Hill, Angela Leslie and Kristina Ruehli became the latest to women to come forward with stories of having been assaulted or raped »

'Wild' Director Jean-Marc Vallee Boarding Amy Adams' Janis Joplin Biopic
13 hours ago | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Jean-Marc Vallée, director of "Wild" and "Dallas Buyers Club," is in talks to direct Amy Adams in the long-in-development Janis Joplin biopic.
Vallée's producing partner Nathan Ross told Variety that the movie will shoot during the summer and fall in Los Angeles and San Francisco, where Joplin began recording songs in 1964. She broke out in 1967 as the lead singer of Big Brother and the Holding Company.
Adams has been attached to play the late rock singer for several years. Lee Daniels emerged last year as a candidate to direct.
Ron Terry is producing with Ross, who has executive producer credits on "Dallas Buyers Club," "Wild" and Vallée's upcoming "Demolition."
"Dallas Buyers Club" screenwriters Craig Borten and Melisa Wallack have been hired to write the script. Ron Terry and Theresa Kounin-Terry wrote an earlier draft.
Journal Du Quebec was the first to report on Vallée's attachment.

'SNL' channels 'Schoolhouse Rock' to introduce Executive Order
34 minutes ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
One of the most parodied segments from the GenX-loved classic "Schoolhouse Rock!" has been Dave Frishberg's "I'm Just a Bill," featuring vocals from Jack Sheldon as a bill trying to teach his son the steps necessary to become a law. You may recall the "Simpsons" parody "I'm an Amendment To Be," as well as a "Family Guy" homage, both featuring Sheldon doing the voice. "Robot Chicken," "Johnny Bravo" and "MadTV" also have referenced the animated segment. While "Saturday Night Live" couldn't get Sheldon -- He's 82, but apparently still alive -- Kenan Thompson is definitely channeling his vocal stylings as an Immigration Bill chronicling the near-impossible task of gaining passage in today's Congress. Yes, President Obama pops up, introducing Executive Order, who becomes a law through a much simpler process.

Disney Enters Awards Race With 'Into the Woods'
1 hour ago | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Though "Into the Woods" debuted in 1986, it's "a fairy tale for the post-9/11 generation," said director Rob Marshall at a Q&A in New York after a screening of the film.
The panel session took place at the DGA Theater in New York and was satellite-fed to the Disney main theater in Burbank, a two-birds-with-one-stone approach as the film begins industry screenings for awards contention.
The director and his team of artisans will certainly be under Oscar consideration, as will Meryl Streep (top billed, but in a supporting role) and other performers. Variety will run its review in December; after that, there will be more opportunities to handicap the film's awards chances in specific categories.
Disney often takes a cautious approach to the awards race, but the studio execs seem gung-ho about this one. The film also marks a subtle shift for the studio. Its "Maleficent" earlier this »

Listen to Jennifer Lawrence Sing in the New 'Hunger Games'
1 hour ago | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Jennifer Lawrence was reportedly so worried about singing this sorrowful tune in "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1," she cried the day of the recording.
"She'd probably tell you it was her least favorite day," director Francis Lawrence said in an interview. "She was horrified to sing, she cried a little bit in the morning before she had to sing."
Judging by the recording, however, the Oscar-winner sounds like a natural.
The song, called "The Hanging Tree," was composed by James Newton and the Lumineers, and is featured in the new Lionsgate film.

In Cameron Diaz, "Saturday Night Live" has its second consecutive host making an appearance after a lengthy absence. Although Diaz has hosted the show three times before, this is her first time doing so since 2005. Will there be "Annie" sketches? Probably! Will there be a Jamie Foxx and/or Quvenzhané Wallis cameo? Possibly! Will Bruno Mars make an in-sketch appearance in addition to his musical role tonight? Likely! Will this be an exciting episode or one that puts audiences to sleep faster than Thanksgiving dinner? Who knows! As always, I'll be liveblogging the show in real time, assigning grades to each segment. As always, I'll remind you that comedy is subjective and the grades don't have any more power than you allow them to have. As always, a few of you will ignore that last statement and quibble over a "B-" versus a "B". It's cool. »

Francis Lawrence: Directing 'Mockingjay' was like 'wrangling puppies'
4 hours ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
When director Francis Lawrence signed on to join "The Hunger Games" franchise, he probably didn't realize what he was getting himself into, what with the pressure, the jokes and the...puppies? HitFix's Katie Hasty sat down with the director to discuss the newest installment "Mockingjay - Part I," its Oscar-winning star, and its musical influences. Lawrence (no relation to Jennifer Lawrence, of course) joined the series on "Catching Fire," after "Hunger Games" director Gary Ross exited, and helped develop the franchise into a serious pop culture juggernaut. Despite working on "Fire," Lawrence still felt some pressure when it came to calling the shots on "Mockingjay," which expands the franchise's world significantly and is noticeably darker than its predecessors. "I felt a different kind of pressure," he explains. "[On 'Catching Fire'], I had to prove myself a little bit as the new guy in the game. It was a relief that it was received well by the fans. »

Hi all! Things have been so busy for me these past few months I've not been able to stay connected w/my Spark Peeps :-(
Have no fear, I'm doing good but have been involved in purchasing a farm property in West Virginia. Hammered things out and ultimately drove from California to West Virginia with my parents to finish all the paperwork!!!
Now currently visiting with my baby sister in Virginia.
Hope all are doing great!
Hi all,
Thought I should report that while working on my "todo" list around the house (washing windows on outside of the sun-room) earlier this week, I slipped in the suds off of my step ladder and broke my toe, Ouch! So won't be out walking much for next 3-4 weeks. Otherwise its been a pretty good week.
BTW My tomatoes are doing good, but have been gathering some fairly strange ones. I actually took photo of one of my goofy tomato to share with you guys:
Is anyone else having strange fruit in the garden this summer???
At log in today my wheel spin got me 3 points, not great but better than those 1 point spins. Then I started Sparking. I like to do the Trivia and actually answered all three questions correctly, WooHoo! Then I started to Huddle w/my teams, and catch up w/what's been going on; adding a comment here and there, THEN got the notice that I had Sparked enough to get an additional wheel spin. WHAT??? Yeah, another spin and I got 500 spark points!!!! Can you believe it????
So now will spend the rest of the day on and off giving my peeps Spark Goodies!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I now just hope I eventually get my big ol' bootie out of my computer chair and get out to the vegie garden, take my walk, clean the house....
Oh Sparkies give me strength and encouragement to not succumb to the Spark goodie distribution addiction (and excuse not to exercise....)
A friend of mine shared the following quote w/me:
"Life is not the way it's supposed to be.. It's the way it is.
The way we cope with it, is what makes the difference."
And I totally agree with it, but too often forget. (Especially, when I coping badly of course...).
Hope everyone has a great week.
I chuckled a bit when I received this little ditty from Cathy Thorne & thought I'd share it here (since I have her permission to):

Weekly Academic Success Tip - Take Action for Optimal LearningPosted February 22nd, 2010 by Kimberly K. Ballard
We are already 8 weeks into the spring semester! Deadlines may be starting to pile up. Your beginning-of-the-semester optimism may have worn off. And, the weather bouncing between winter and spring does not help. Consider the following tips to obtain optimal learning:
- Keep a positive attitude to affect your learning positively. It is hard to keep your focus and perform at your best if a cloud is hovering over your head. Negative thoughts, grumpiness, and sniping at others all expend energy in unproductive avenues. Not only do other people want to avoid you when you exude negativity, but you waste your own time by moaning, groaning, and whining.
- Focus on manageable tasks to increase motivation. It is easier to get motivated to do small tasks rather than large projects. Decide to read one case when you do not feel like reading any of your Property cases. Decide to write two paragraphs when you do not feel like writing an entire paper draft. Decide to outline one sub-topic when you do not want to outline an entire topic. Decide to do 5 multiple-choice questions when you do not feel like doing practice questions at all. After you get started and finish one small task, you are likely to be ready to do another small task.
- Focus on what you can control rather than what is controlled by others. Reality is that you do not determine whether you will be called on in class, whether you will have a mid-term exam, whether your paper will have one or six draft deadlines, or whether you will have a multiple-choice or essay final exam. So, stop stewing about things you cannot control. Instead, focus on what you can control and take control of those things: your time management; your stress management; your timetable for review; your outlining schedule; your reading schedule; your schedule for practice questions; your asking the professor questions and more.
- Use the many services that are available to you to improve your situation. Ask questions during the professor's office hours. If you are a 1L, talk to your Academic Fellow. Meet with the writing center to improve your grammar and punctuation skills. Make an appointment with Ms. Ballard for study strategies and tips. Meet with a University counselor if you have test anxiety, personal problems or other issues that are making it hard for you to concentrate on your studies. Go to the doctor if you are sick rather than self-treating and not getting better. Getting assistance keeps you from feeling so alone in your situation and begins the work of solving problems.
- Do not focus on your bad choices last semester, last week, or yesterday. If you have procrastinated or studied inefficiently and ineffectively or fallen into any of the other common student difficulties in studying, accept responsibility for those bad choices; but then, focus on today. You cannot change what has already happened, but you can change how you study today and tomorrow.
- Take advantage of your strengths and acknowledge your weaknesses. Evaluate the areas within a course: what areas do you understand and what areas are you confused about still. Then, spend additional time on the weak areas to improve your understanding while you review material that you know well.
- Do not blame someone else for your difficulties. It is not the professor's fault that you cannot do the practice problems if you did not study the material thoroughly. It is not the professor's fault that you got a low grade when other students did better on the same exam. It is not your study group's fault that you do not understand the material if you have not taken the initiative to attempt learning it yourself before study group. It is not your spouse's problem that you are behind in your reading if you have not set up a structured study schedule that allows sufficient study time as well as family time.
- Stop resisting positive change. Ask yourself whether you are having problems because you are clinging to ineffective and inefficient ways of studying. You need to realize that nothing will change for the better if you refuse to make changes. Knowing that you need to change something and still not changing it will accomplish nothing positive in your life.
- Remember that you begin to earn your reputation as an attorney while you are in law school. Ask yourself whether how you are acting today will place you in a positive light with your classmates and professors. If not, then reconsider the behavior BEFORE you act that way again. Being difficult to work with on an assignment may translate into a reputation that you will be considered difficult to work with as an attorney later. Being lazy in law school may translate into a lack of referrals as an attorney because your former classmates will not be able to trust you to do a thorough job. Being mean-spirited or gossipy or arrogant in law school may translate into personal characteristics that mar your reputation later as a new attorney.
Immigration Moot Court Team Wins National CompetitionPosted February 21st, 2010 by Anonymous
The Moot Court Board wishes to congratulate Duffy Trager, Rachel Carmona, and Maria Mourad for winning the NYU Law School Immigration Law Moot Court Competition last weekend.

Joe Gutmann Named 2010 Educator of the YearPosted February 19th, 2010 by Virginia Mattingly
Street Law, Inc. is a national non-profit organization that provides practical, participatory education about law, democracy, and human rights. Street Law began in 1972, when a small group of Georgetown University Law Center students developed an experimental curriculum to teach high school students in Washington DC about the practical aspects of the law and the legal system. The program evolved and today a Street Law textbook and curriculum is used throughout the country.
On 9/11, Joe Gutmann, a prosecutor in Louisville, decided to make a difference in a new way. He left the prosecutor's office to teach at Central High School in Louisville. In 2005, he was asked to serve as the coordinator of Central's Law and Government Magnet program, and he began using the Street Law materials for the sophomore magnet students. In 2007, law students from the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law began assisting in teaching the curriculum at Central under Joe Gutmann's supervision. Building on the partnership begun in 2001 between Central and the Brandeis School of Law, law students were approved to receive public service credit for their Street Law work. Each year about 15 to 25 law students are involved in the program (in addition to many others who teach law magnet courses for juniors and seniors).
Each year, Street Law honors a teacher at its Annual Awards Dinner. Nominees must "educate students in an exceptional manner" and "use Street Law materials." Joe Gutmann meets both criteria, and he is being recognized in Washington DC on April 28, 2010 as the Street Law Educator of the Year.
One of his nomination letters noted that
his dedication and commitment goes above and beyond to ensure that students are guided and that they learn. He gives them "tough love." He makes sure they have the opportunity to attend special events. He works on giving them the tools to succeed. He is a tireless advocate for his students. The Central students who are in his class and the law students who teach in the Law Magnet think highly of Joe. The admiration and affection and respect … students have for Joe…doesn't stop when they graduate. [R]eturning students …still come to him for help and advice (and to share good news about how college is going).
This award recognizes that exceptional teaching and commitment. Joe is always quick to acknowledge the various partnerships that make the Central High School's Law and Government Magnet Program and his work successful. These include the partnership with the Brandeis School of Law, the long standing Summer Internship Program sponsored by the Louisville Bar Association, the University of Louisville University Community Signature Partnership support through UofL's Office of Community Engagement (including the Seven Habits of Highly Successful Teens program), and the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky.

A People's History of the New Boston
Although Boston today is a vibrant and thriving city, it was anything but that in the years following World War II. By 1950 it had lost a quarter of its tax base over the previous twenty-five years, and during the 1950s it would lose residents faster than any other major city in the country. Credit for the city's turnaround since that time is often given to a select group of people, all of them men, all of them white, and most of them well off. In fact, a large group of community activists, many of them women, people of color, and not very well off, were also responsible for creating the Boston so many enjoy today. This book provides a grassroots perspective on the tumultuous 1960s and 1970s, when residents of the city's neighborhoods engaged in an era of activism and protest unprecedented in Boston since the American Revolution.

Burned-out after years of doing development and conservation work around the world, William Powers spent a season in a 12-foot-by-12-foot cabin off the grid in North Carolina. Could he live a similarly minimalist way in the belly of the beast — New York City? To find out, Powers and his wife left their Queens townhouse, and moved into a 350-square-foot "micro apartment" in Greenwich Village. Powers explores the viability of Slow Food and Slow Money, technology fasts and urban sanctuaries, rooftop gardening and beekeeping. Discovering a colorful cast of New Yorkers attempting to resist the culture of Total Work, Powers offers an inspiring exploration for anyone trying to make urban life more people- and planet-friendly.

Born with a rare genetic mutation called Usher Syndrome type III, Rebecca Alexander has been simultaneously losing both her sight and hearing since she was a child, and was told that she would likely be completely blind and deaf by age 30. Then, at 18, a fall from a window left her athletic body completely shattered. Now, at 35, with only a sliver of sight and significantly deteriorated hearing, she is a psychotherapist with two masters' degrees from Columbia University, and an athlete who regularly competes in extreme endurance races. In Not Fade Away, Rebecca tells her extraordinary story, by turns harrowing, funny and inspiring.

When Lilian Shang, born and raised in America, discovers her father's diary after the death of her parents, she is shocked by the secrets it contains. She knew that her father, Gary, convicted decades ago of being a mole in the CIA, was the most important Chinese spy ever caught. But his diary, an astonishing chronicle of his journey as a Communist intelligence agent, reveals the pain and longing that his double life entailed—and point to a hidden second family that he'd left behind in China. A stunning portrait of a multinational family and an unflinching inquiry into the meaning of citizenship, patriotism, and home, A Map of Betrayal is a spy novel that only Ha Jin could write.

All Eyes Are Upon Us: Race and Politics from Boston to Brooklyn
The long and celebrated history of racial equality and political liberalism that was a hallmark of the Northeastern United States appeared poised to continue after World War II with the election of black politicians and the increased acceptance of black cultural leaders and athletes. However, as historian Jason Sokol reveals, these achievements obscured the harsh reality of a region divided by segregation and deep-seated racism. All Eyes Are Upon Us is a revelatory account of the tumultuous modern history of race and politics in the Northeast.
Roberto Calasso
Farrar Straus & Giroux
Hardcover, $35
"They were remote beings. Remote not only from modern man but from their ancient contemporaries. Distant not just as another culture, but as another celestial body. So distant that the point from which they are viewed becomes almost irrelevant...they are scattered fragments of a dream whose story has been blotted out."
So begins Roberto Calasso's journey back in time, following the faint trail leading to Vedic India. Nothing tangible remains of that culture: no talismans, temples, objects or images. Only texts remain, verses and hymns of timeless beauty and depth, pointing to a people that valued the search for knowledge and understanding above all else. Roberto Calasso, whom the Paris Review calls "a literary institution of one" is supremely suited to act as our guide into the unknown world of the Vedas.
Three Minutes in Poland: Discovering a Lost World in a 1938 Family Film
Glenn Kurtz
Farrar Straus & Giroux
Hardcover, $30
Glenn Kurtz's new book is a revelation, a sliver of light reaching out to us from one of the darkest periods of human history. With only three minutes of rediscovered film to start with, Kurtz meticulously pieces together the details of people and place: his family, more than 70 years ago, in a Polish shtetl just before World War II. His grandfather's reel of film, shot on a trip to his hometown in 1938, is filled with youthful excitement, delight at being filmed by visitors from America. But to the modern viewer there is of course the unavoidable knowledge of the horror that will visit these people in the coming days. You can find out more, and watch the film here.

Dennis Nolan
Roaring Brook Press
Hardcover, $17.99
Ages 3 - 7
Dennis Nolan's little people leave their tiny Whoville-esque hometown behind to embark on a grand and mysterious quest. As they scramble through a landscape filled with danger - chipmunks and songbirds and toads! oh my! - the tension builds. What does that X on their map represent? Why did they need to bring that magnifying glass? Will those horrid baby birds fill their bellies with our heroes? Nolan's illustrations blend breathtaking naturalistic landscapes and animals with his adorable cartoon figures.
John Rocco's new book is one of the best pictorial celebrations of snow I have ever come across. Based on his experience as a young boy in the Blizzard of '78, one of the biggest snowstorms in New England history, this picture book records Rocco's adventurous day when he got to the store over a mile from his house with tennis racquets tied to his feet, taking orders for necessities from every buried neighbor on his street. Of course, like any clever kid in a pinch, he took the long way, stopping to climb trees with unreachable branches, plopping down to make snow angels, getting into snowball fights. The fold out panorama illustration of his peregrinations through the neighborhood on its own is worth the price of the book.
High-school junior Leila has made it most of the way through Armstead Academy without having a crush on anyone, which is something of a relief. Her Persian heritage already makes her different from her classmates; if word got out that she liked girls, life would be twice as hard. But when a sophisticated, beautiful new girl, Saskia, shows up, Leila starts to take risks she never thought she would, especially when it looks as if the attraction between them is mutual. Struggling to sort out her growing feelings and Saskia's confusing signals, Leila confides in her old friend, Lisa, and grows closer to her fellow drama tech-crew members, especially Tomas, whose comments about his own sexuality are frank, funny, wise, and sometimes painful. Gradually, Leila begins to see that almost all her classmates are more complicated than they first appear to be, and many are keeping fascinating secrets of their own.
The Winshaw Legacy
Jonathan Coe, one of England's finest novelists (that's not just me who says that: my wife would agree, wouldn't you honey?), hooked me with his pitch-perfect evocation of English boyhood in The Rotter's Club, sealed the deal with the melancholy atmosphere of The House of Sleep, and then knocked me over and tickled me near to death with his dark and hilarious family farce, The Winshaw Legacy - "a nasty farce with lots of bathroom humor and violence which reminds me at least as much of Fawlty Towers as it does of Midnight's Children." - Jay McInerney.
Open to any page in Bad Boys and Tough Tattoos and you are going to find something exotic, something erotic, something for everyone who's ever been drawn to the art of needle and flesh. Research on Samuel Steward yielded amazing information: he was a close friend of Gertrude Stein; he was fired from his first teaching job for portraying a prostitute sympathetically in his novel; he partnered with Alfred Kinsey and provided him with all manner of materials and connections for use in his groundbreaking sexual research; he left teaching and became a tattoo artist in the 1950s, eventually becoming the official tattoo artist for the Hell's Angels.
The late Thomas Disch, science fiction author and poet, won the Nonfiction Hugo award for The Dreams Our Stuff is Made Of. The book is an examination of the impact of science fiction imaginings on the real life innovations that turned the twentieth century into such a juggernaut of human achievement (and misery, of course.) Disch, who was also nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award for The Castle of Indolence: On Poetry, Poets, and Poetasters, does much in here to lift the science fiction writer out of the realm of "pulp," and his insightful cultural criticism reminds us that someone has to dream big so that the scientists can get down to the nitty-gritty. You can read the first chapter here.

Michel Faber
Mariner, Paperback
Orig. $14.95, Sale $5.99
Sugar is a nineteen-year-old prostitute who dreams of escape to a better life. Following a glimmer of a chance - the advances of a perfume magnate who just might be falling in love with her - she finds her way out of the brothel of the terrifying Mrs. Castaway, and into a dizzying crowd of self-absorbed socialites, untrustworthy servants and drunken journalists. Michel Faber's critically acclaimed novel is a teeming, vivid portrait of Victorian London.
Frozen In Time: An Epic Story of Survival and a
Modern Quest for Lost Heroes of World War II
Mitchell Zuckoff
Harper, Hardcover
Orig. $28.99, Sale $6.99
Frozen in Time - "FROZEN!?! I know that movie!" - yes, Libbie, but this is a book, called Frozen in Time, it's not the same - "Listen to me sing the song, I can do ALL the words, Snow glows white on the mountain tonight not a footprint to be seen" - That's terrific Lib, can you give me a minute? Author Mitchell Zuckoff was just with us on Monday night reading from his new book 13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi, and - "When will my hair grow long like Elsa's? I like Elsa, then Olaf." - Here is candy, go in the other room. My daughter, everyone.
On November 5, 1942, a US cargo plane slammed into the Greenland Ice Cap. Four days later, the B-17 assigned to the search-and-rescue mission became lost in a blinding storm and also crashed. Miraculously, all nine men on board survived, and the US military launched a daring rescue operation. But after picking up one man, the Grumman Duck amphibious plane flew into a severe storm and vanished. Frozen in Time tells the story of these crashes and the fate of the survivors, bringing vividly to life their battle to endure 148 days of the brutal Arctic winter.
The year is 1981, Reagan is in the White House, and the country is stalled in a recession. Cressida Hartley, a gifted Ph.D. student in economics, moves into her parents' shabby A-frame cabin in the Sierras to write her dissertation. But the move back home that was supposed to make her life simpler only brings confusion in her family, her romantic life and her work. Michelle Huneven is author of Blame, which was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award.

Cultural, regulatory, environmental, political and economic (CREPE) conditions over the past decade are creating cross-industry solution spaces that require processes and technologies from both the Internet of Things (IoT), and Data Management and Analytics (DMA). These solution spaces are evolving into Sensor Analytics Ecosystems (SAE) that represent significant new opportunities for organizations of all types. Public Utilities throughout the world, providing electricity, natural gas and water, are pursuing SmartGrid initiatives that represent one of the more mature examples of SAE. We have s...

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

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. By focusing on enterprise applications and the data center, he will use OpenTSDB as an example t...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies. Nest, a Google company, detects temperatures inside homes and automatically adjusts it by tracking its user's habit. These technologies are quickly developing and with it come challenges such as bridging infrastructure gaps, abiding by privacy concerns and making the concept a reality. These challenges can't be addressed w...

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...

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.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

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.

Studio Ghibli Bluray Review-a-thon Day 10: Howl's Moving Castle
It's the second-to-last day of the Ghiblithon and that means it's time to explore the weird, wild, occasionally nonsensical world of Howl and Sadie. ― As Hayao Miyazaki films by Studio Ghibli go, this 2004 adaptation of the novel by acclaimed British author Diana Wynne Jones stands somewhere in the middle of the pack. Though it earned the second Academy Award nomination for a Miyazaki work, it is nei...
House of 1000 Manga - Summit of the Gods
Shaenon gives thanks today for Jiro Taniguchi's manly man manga about manly men scaling manly mountains. ― The Summit of the Gods Jiro Taniguchi is an artist who hasn't made nearly as many appearances in the House of 1,000 Manga as he could. Jason Thompson discussed his blissfully plotless Walking Man a million years ago, he has a story in Japan as Viewed by 17 Creators, and is that really the only ...

That's OK with me. We'll move on to Christmas and its surrounding video game releases. One of th...

Based on the book by Eiko Kadono, the film initially rested with a team of younger animators at Studio Ghibli. Yet the project hit snags, and Miyazaki, as he often does at his st...

It came out in the summer of 1997 there, and it was an instant phenomenon, its box office glory stolen mere months later when James Camer...

Also, there's only so much appetite for articles on old and obscur...

OxVox have revealed that a group of Oxfordshire businessman have come forward and expressed interest in investing in Oxford United.
The club's supporters' trust say they have had contact from Charlie Methven, who is part of the group which also contains 'a wealthy Oxfordshire family'.
Methven has significant ties to the club, as trustee of their youth and community sports trust, while he has also been working in an advisory role for the U's board and last year played a key role in setting up supporters' group the Yellow Army.
The talks are described as "very recent and very preliminary", concerning their desire to invest in the U's how OxVox would be involved in the future.
It is understood there are two competing groups of investors, with Mark Ashton, a former chief executive of Watford and Wycombe Wanderers, linked to the other consortium.
The club have not made a comment on the uncertainty, with OxVox chairman Mark Sennett telling the Oxford Mail it was time for U's chairman Ian Lenagan to clarify the situation.
