We recently assembled a panel of experts to explore how big data changes the status quo for architecting the enterprise. The bottom line from the discussion is that large enterprises should not just wade into big data as an isolated function, but should anticipate the strategic effects and impacts of big data -- as well the simultaneous complicating factors of cloud computing and mobile -- as soon as possible.
The panel consisted of Robert Weisman, CEO and Chief Enterprise Architect at Build The Vision; Andras Szakal, Vice President and CTO of IBM's Federal Division; Jim Hietala, Vice President for Security at The Open Group, and Chris Gerty, Deputy Program Manager at the Open Innovation Program at NASA. I served as the moderator.
And this special BriefingsDirect thought leadership interview series comes to you in conjunction with The Open Group Conference recently held in Newport Beach, California. The conference focused on "big data -- he transformation we need to embrace today." [Disclosure: The Open Group is a sponsor of this and other BriefingsDirect podcasts.]
Threaded factors
An interesting thread for me throughout the conference was to factor where big data begins and plain old data, if you will, ends. Of course, it's going to vary quite a bit from organization to organization.
But Gerty from NASA, part of our panel, provided a good example: It's when you run out of gas with your old data methods, and your ability to deal with the data -- and it's not just the size of the data itself.
Therefore, big data means do things differently -- not just to manage the velocity and the volume and the variety of the data, but to really think about data fundamentally and differently. And, we need to think about security, risk and governance. If it's a "boundaryless organization" when it comes your data, either as a product or service or a resource, that control and management of which data should be exposed, which should be opened, and which should be very closely guarded all need to be factored, determined and implemented.
Here are some excerpts from the on-stage discussion:
Dana Gardner: You mentioned that big data to you is not a factor of the size, because NASA's dealing with so much. It's when you run out of steam, as it were, with the methodologies. Maybe you could explain more. When do you know that you've actually run out of steam with the methodologies?
Gerty: When we collect data, we have some sort of goal in minds of what we might get out of it. When we put the pieces from the data together, it either maybe doesn't fit as well as you thought or you are successful and you continue to do the same thing, gathering archives of information.
At that point, where you realize there might even something else that you want to do with the data, different than what you planned originally, that's when we have to pivot a little bit and say, "Now I need to treat this as a living archive. It's a 'it may live beyond me' type of thing." At that point, I think you treat it as setting up the infrastructure for being used later, whether it'd be by you or someone else. That's an important transition to make and might be what one could define as big data.
Gardner: Andras, does that square with where you are in your government interactions -- that data now becomes a different type of resource, and that you need to know when to do things differently?
Szakal: The importance of data hasn't changed. The data itself, the veracity of the data, is still important. Transactional data will always need to exist. The difference is that you have certainly the three or four Vs, depending on how you look at it, but the importance of data is in its veracity, and your ability to understand or to be able to use that data before the data's shelf life runs out.
Some data has a shelf life that's long lived. Other data has very little shelf life, and you would use different approaches to being able to utilize that information. It's ultimately not about the data itself, but it's about gaining deep insight into that data. So it's not storing data or manipulating data, but applying those analytical capabilities to data.
Gardner: Bob, we've seen the price points on storage go down so dramatically. We've seem people just decide to hold on to data that they wouldn't have before, simply because they can and they can afford to do so. That means we need to try to extract value and use that data. From the perspective of an enterprise architect, how are things different now, vis-à-vis this much larger set of data and variety of data, when it comes to planning and executing as architects?
Weisman: One of the major issues is that normally organizations are holding two orders of magnitude more data then they need. It's an huge overhead, both in terms of the applications architecture that has a code basis, larger than it should be, and also from the technology architecture that is supporting a horrendous number of servers and a whole bunch of technology stuff that they don't need.
The issue for the architect is to figure out as what data is useful, institute a governance process, so that you can have data lifecycle management, have a proper disposition, focus the organization on information data and knowledge that is basically going to provide business value to the organization, and help them innovate and have a competitive advantage.
Can't afford it
And in terms of government, just improve service delivery, because there's waste right now on information infrastructure, and we can't afford it anymore.
Gardner: So it's difficult to know what to keep and what not to keep. I've actually spoken to a few people lately who want to keep everything, just because they want to mine it, and they are willing to spend the money and effort to do that.
Jim Hietala, when people do get to this point of trying to decide what to keep, what not to keep, and how to architect properly for that, they also need to factor in security. It shouldn't become later in the process. It should come early. What are some of the precepts that you think are important in applying good security practices to big data?
Hietala: One of the big challenges is that many of the big-data platforms weren't built from the get-go with security in mind. So some of the controls that you've had available in your relational databases, for instance, you move over to the big data platforms and the access control authorizations and mechanisms are not there today.
Planning the architecture, looking at bringing in third-party controls to give you the security mechanisms that you are used to in your older platforms, is something that organizations are going to have to do. It's really an evolving and emerging thing at this point.
Gardner: There are a lot of unknown unknowns out there, as we discovered with our tweet chat last month. Some people think that the data is just data, and you apply the same security to it. Do you think that's the case with big data? Is it just another follow-through of what you always did with data in the first place?
Hietala: I would say yes, at a conceptual level, but it's like what we saw with virtualization. When there was a mad rush to virtualize everything, many of those traditional security controls didn't translate directly into the virtualized world. The same thing is true with big data.
When you're talking about those volumes of data, applying encryption, applying various security controls, you have to think about how those things are going to scale? That may require new solutions from new technologies and that sort of thing.
Gardner: Chris Gerty, when it comes to that governance, security, and access control, are there any lessons that you've learned that you are aware of in terms of the best of openness, but also with the ability to manage the spigot?
Gerty: Spigot is probably a dangerous term to use, because it implies that all data is treated the same. The sooner that you can tag the data as either sensitive or not, mostly coming from the person or team that's developed or originated the data, the better.
Kicking the can
Once you have it on a hard drive, once you get crazy about storing everything, if you don't know where it came from, you're forced to put it into a secure environment. And that's just kicking the can down the road. It's really a disservice to people who might use the data in a useful way to address their problems.
We constantly have satellites that are made for one purpose. They send all the data down. It's controlled either for security or for intellectual property (IP), so someone can write a paper. Then, after the project doesn't get funded or it just comes to a nice graceful close, there is that extra step, which is almost a responsibility of the originators, to make it useful to the rest of the world.
Gardner: Let's look at big data through the lens of some other major trends right now. Let's start with cloud. You mentioned that at NASA, you have your own private cloud that you're using a lot, of course, but you're also now dabbling in commercial and public clouds. Frankly, the price points that these cloud providers are offering for storage and data services are pretty compelling.
So we should expect more data to go to the cloud. Bob, from your perspective, as organizations and architects have to think about data in this hybrid cloud on-premises off-premises, moving back and forth, what do you think enterprise architects need to start thinking about in terms of managing that, planning for the right destination of data, based on the right mix of other requirements?
Weisman: It's a good question. As you said, the price point is compelling, but the security and privacy of the information is something else that has to be taken into account. Where is that information going to reside? You have to have very stringent service-level agreements (SLAs) and in certain cases, you might say it's a price point that's compelling, but the risk analysis that I have done means that I'm going to have to set up my own private cloud.
Right now, everybody's saying is the public cloud is going to be the way to go. Vendors are going to have to be very sensitive to that and many are, at this point in time, addressing a lot of the needs of some of the large client basis. So it's not one-size-fits-all and it's more than just a price for service. Architecture can bring down the price pretty dramatically, even within an enterprise.
Gardner: Andras, how do the cloud and big data come together in a way that's intriguing to you?
Szakal: Actually it's a great question. We could take the rest of the 22 minutes talking on this one question. I helped lead the President's Commission on big data that Steve Mills from IBM and -- I forget the name of the executive from SAP -- led. We intentionally tried to separate cloud from big data architecture, primarily because we don't believe that, in all cases, cloud is the answer to all things big data. You have to define the architecture that's appropriate for your business needs.
However, it also depends on where the data is born. Take many of the investments IBM has made into enterprise market management, for example, Coremetrics, several of these services that we now offer for helping customers understand deep insight into how their retail market or supply chain behaves.
Born in the cloud
All of that information is born in the cloud. But if you're talking about actually using cloud as infrastructure and moving around huge sums of data or constructing some of these solutions on your own, then some of the ideas that Bob conveyed are absolutely applicable.
I think it becomes prohibitive to do that and easier to stand up a hybrid environment for managing the amount of data. But I think that you have to think about whether your data is real-time data, whether it's data that you could apply some of these new technologies like Hadoop to, Hadoop MapReduce-type solutions, or whether it's traditional data warehousing.
Data warehouses are going to continue to exist and they're going to continue to evolve technologically. You're always going to use a subset of data in those data warehouses, and it's going to be an applicable technology for many years to come.
Gardner: So suffice it to say, an enterprise architect who is well versed in both cloud infrastructure requirements, technologies, and methods, as well as big data, will probably be in quite high demand. That specialization in one or the other isn't as valuable as being able to cross-pollinate between them.
Szakal: Absolutely. It's enabling our architects and finding deep individuals who have this unique set of skills, analytics, mathematics, and business. Those individuals are going to be the future architects of the IT world, because analytics and big data are going to be integrated into everything that we do and become part of the business processing.
Gardner: Well, that's a great segue to the next topic that I am interested in, and it's around mobility as a trend and also application development. The reason I lump them together is that I increasingly see developers being tasked with mobile first.
When you create a new app, you have to remember that this is going to run in the mobile tier and you want to make sure that the requirements, the UI, and the complexity of that app don't go beyond the ability of the mobile app and the mobile user. This is interesting to me, because data now has a different relationship with apps.
We used to think of apps as creating data and then the data would be stored and it might be used or integrated. Now, we have applications that are simply there in order to present the data and we have the ability now to present it to those mobile devices in the mobile tier, which means it goes anywhere, everywhere all the time.
Let me start with you Jim, because it's security and risk, but it's also just rethinking the way we use data in a mobile tier. If we can do it safely, and that's a big IF, how important should it be for organizations to start thinking about making this data available to all of these devices and just pour out into that mobile tier as possible?
Hietala: In terms of enabling the business, it's very important. There are a lot of benefits that accrue from accessing your data from whatever device you happen to be on. To me, it is that question of "if," because now there's a whole lot of problems to be solved relative to the data floating around anywhere on Android, iOS, whatever the platform is, and the organization being able to lock down their data on those devices, forgetting about whether it's the organization device or my device. There's a set of issues around that that the security industry is just starting to get their arms around today.
Mobile ability
Gardner: Chris, any thoughts about this mobile ability that the data gets more valuable the more you can use it and apply it, and then the more you can apply it, the more data you generate that makes the data more valuable, and we start getting into that positive feedback loop?
Gerty: Absolutely. It's almost an appreciation of what more people could do and get to the problem. We're getting to the point where, if it's available on your desktop, you're going to find a way to make it available on your device.
That same security questions probably need to be answered anyway, but making it mobile compatible is almost an acknowledgment that there will be someone who wants to use it. So let me go that extra step to make it compatible and see what I get from them. It's more of a cultural benefit that you get from making things compatible with mobile.
Gardner: Any thoughts about what developers should be thinking by trying to bring the fruits of big data through these analytics to more users rather than just the BI folks or those that are good at SQL queries? Does this change the game by actually making an application on a mobile device, simple, powerful but accessing this real time updated treasure trove of data?
Gerty: I always think of the astronaut on the moon. He's got a big, bulky glove and he might have a heads-up display in front of him, but he really needs to know exactly a certain piece of information at the right moment, dealing with bandwidth issues, dealing with the environment, foggy helmet wherever.
It's very analogous to what the day-to-day professional will use trying to find out that quick e-mail he needs to know or which meeting to go to -- which one is more important -- and it all comes down to putting your developer in the shoes of the user. So anytime you can get interaction between the two, that's valuable.
Weisman: From an enterprise architecture point of view my background is mainly defense and government, but defense mobile computing has been around for decades. So you've always been dealing with that.
The main thing is that in many cases, if they're coming up with information, the whole presentation layer is turning into another architecture domain with information visualization and also with your security controls, with an integrated identity management capability.
It's like you were saying about astronaut getting it right. He doesn't need to know everything that's happening in the world. He needs to know about his heads-up display, the stuff that's relevant to him.
So it's getting the right information to person in an authorized manner, in a way that he can visualize and make sense of that information, be it straight data, analytics, or whatever. The presentation layer, ergonomics, visual communication are going to become very important in the future for that. There are also a lot of problems. Rather than doing it at the application level, you're doing it entirely in one layer.
Governance and security
Gardner: So clearly the implications of data are cutting across how we think about security, how we think about UI, how we factor in mobility. What we now think about in terms of governance and security, we have to do differently than we did with older data models.
Jim Hietala, what about the impact on spurring people towards more virtualized desktop delivery, if you don't want to have the date on that end device, if you want solve some of the issues about control and governance, and if you want to be able to manage just how much data gets into that UI, not too much not too little.
Do you think that some of these concerns that we're addressing will push people to look even harder, maybe more aggressive in how they go to desktop and application virtualization, as they say, keep it on the server, deliver out just the deltas?
Hietala: That's an interesting point. I've run across a startup in the last month or two that is doing is that. The whole value proposition is to virtualize the environment. You get virtual gold images. You don't have to worry about what's actually happening on the physical device and you know when the devices connect. The security threat goes away. So we may see more of that as a solution to that.
Gardner: Andras, do you see that that some of the implications of big data, far fetched as it may be, are propelling people to cultivate their servers more and virtualize their apps, their data, and their desktop right up to the end devices?
Szakal: Yeah, I do. I see IBM providing solutions for virtual desktop, but I think it was really a security question you were asking. You're certainly going to see an additional number of virtualized desktop environments.
Ultimately, our network still is not stable enough or at a high enough bandwidth to really make that useful exercise for all but the most menial users in the enterprise. From a security point of view, there is a lot to be still solved.
And part of the challenge in the cloud environment that we see today is the proliferation of virtual machines (VMs) and the inability to actually contain the security controls within those machines and across these machines from an enterprise perspective. So we're going to see more solutions proliferate in this area and to try to solve some of the management issues, as well as the security issues, but we're a long ways away from that.
Gerty: Big data, by itself, isn't magical. It doesn't have the answers just by being big. If you need more, you need to pry deeper into it. That's the example. They realized early enough that they were able to make something good.
Gardner: Jim Hietala, any thoughts about examples that illustrate where we're going and why this is so important?
Hietala: Being a security guy, I tend to talk about scare stories, horror stories. One example from last year that struck me. One of the major retailers here in the U.S. hit the news for having predicted, through customer purchase behavior, when people were pregnant.
They could look and see, based upon buying 20 things, that if you're buying 15 of these and your purchase behavior has changed, they can tell that. The privacy implications to that are somewhat concerning.
An example was that this retailer was sending out coupons related to somebody being pregnant. The teenage girl, who was pregnant hadn't told her family yet. The father found it. There was alarm in the household and at the local retailer store, when the father went and confronted them.
Privacy implications
There are privacy implications from the use of big data. When you get powerful new technology in marketing people's hands, things sometimes go awry. So I'd throw that out just as a cautionary tale that there is that aspect to this. When you can see across people's buying transactions, things like that, there are privacy considerations that we'll have to think about, and that we really need to think about as an industry and a society.

By Liz McMillan As Marc Andreessen says software is eating the world. Everything is rapidly moving toward being software-defined – from our phones and cars through our washing machines to the datacenter. However, there are larger challenges when implementing software defined on a larger scale - when building software defined infrastructure.
In his session at 16th Cloud Expo, Boyan Ivanov, CEO of StorPool, will provide some practical insights on what, how and why when implementing "software-defined" in the datacenter. Apr. 25, 2015 11:00 AM EDT Reads: 1,611 |

What Is This and Where Was I?
I thought we'd move this to the website. I was messin' around one day and decided to do this after noticing something in a corner of something else.
I thought we'd move this to the website. I was messin' around one day and decided to do this after noticing something in a corner of something else.
Jeremy Taylor at thefw.com had a great idea. Take the movie, 'Santa Claus: the Movie', a sprawling retelling of the legend of Santa Claus, with a subplot that involved a renegade elf named Patch who hooks up with a unscrupulous toy manufacturer before re-discovering the meaning of Christmas. Then, see what all the surviving cast members are doing. The star, Dudley Moore, passed away in 2002.
It's never occurred to me to get a tattoo. Never. I know plenty of folks who have them. Chad for one. And, in fact, on Wednesday evening, he was broadcasting from Lady Luck Tattoo and Body Piercing where he got his latest tattoo, "Let the Sirens Sound."
Is your pet a member of your family? Do you dress them up in cute little jingle bell sweaters?!? Well, the Owensboro Humane Society has a great fundraiser for you this weekend! It's time again for Christmas Pet Photo Day!
On Wednesdays, I answer the phones at the front desk during lunch. This Wednesday, I looked up and was startled to see President Barack Obama, Governor Mitt Romney, and Big Bird walking across the parking lot.
I received a text from Chad the other day telling me that our good friends and loyal listeners Huggie Bear and Sheila Hayden had gotten something for me at a yard sale. Naturally, I was very intrigued.
What's that line in the opening of the classic Rod Serling series The Twilight Zone? Something about "the signpost up ahead?"
Okay, so I'm gonna have to pull back a little bit. I have railed against the Honey Boo Boo show for what I think it means about television, but I will now hold my tongue. Showing some love for Emma Joy Ford will do that.
Thousands of people lined the streets of downtown Evansville this morning for the 15th annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure! Click through our Photobucket to see all the pictures we took at the Expo, the Survivor's Parade of Pink, Ta-Ta Talent Search Winner Skylar Cain's Performance on the Main Stage, The 5K Race for the Cure Run/Walk, the 1-Mile Family Run/Walk and the Awards Ceremony.
I first heard of the Prayers for Lane Goodwin Facebook page late last week and read with great interest and sadness of Lane's battle with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma stage IV. That's nothing you ever want to read about a child.
As I continue my stroll down memory lane, I guess it's only fair to clarify the phrase "brush with greatness." I've always used it to describe accidental encounters with famous people. But why not also include deliberate ones, as well.
Ok, ok... so I talk about her and show her off all of the time?!?! I'm just giving her a head-start of hating me when she turns 13!! Ha!
My friend Danny Beeler at Heart of the City Design always takes AMAZING pictures of all of the big concerts around the Tri-State and I thought I'd give him some practice at taking pics of kids, ha!
We went downtown Owensboro to the beautiful Smothers Park and he passed the test! I LOVE these pics of my three-year-old Carsyn! Let me know what you think! And, as always, thanks for letting me share my sweet, sometimes not so sweet little girl! :)

November 9, 2013
Monday morning got off to a rough start for Facebook, where users reported widespread difficulty updating their status, liking and commenting on posts. The extent of the outage is so far unclear, but if Twitter whining is any indication, it's affecting just about everybody worldwide.
Last week, Syria completely disappeared from the Internet, and not for the first time either. Since then, it poked its head back out into cyberspace, but not for long; Google's Transparency Report is showing that it's gone again.
If you sketchily poked on over to the Pirate Bay to do a little downloading of a legal, quasi-legal, or outright illegal nature recently, you may have noticed you can't get through. No, your ISP hasn't started blocking it; it's down for everyone, everywhere. Proxies too.
Yes, Sprint is suffering a pretty big outage in the Pacific Northwest right now. [Techcrunch]
Recently some iClouders have been having trouble with the service's email. The downtime made a bit of a mess for the roughly two million users it affected, but now Apple has apologized, and assured everyone that all the screwed up emails have made it through now.
You might have noticed BlackBerry service has collapsed for a lot of people around the entire planet. Two full days later, RIM's decided to say something about it: "We're working on it." Great!
RIM's worldwide service outage cluster-diddle spread to the U.S. and Canada today, meaning BlackBerry's email and messaging has been knocked offline on every continent but (maybe) Australia and Antartica.
BlackBerry maker RIM has released a statement on the ongoing BlackBerry Messenger service failures, saying that pretty much everything broke at once. And there's now a big backlog of sexts to process.
History's repeated itself in record time, with hapless RIM's messaging, email, and web services all collapsing in a wheezing heap of death across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, Reuters reports. The problem? Same as yesterday: a crashed European server.
If you're RIM, the best way to endear yourself with customers of your lousy phones is to screw up their service around the world. So it's done just that, nuking BBM, email, and web access throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Skype is down, Skype is down! Well, for some people anyway. While the service outage isn't widespread enough to be a pandemic (working fine over here), enough users are reporting/complaining about it via Twitter to indicate a widespread whoops.
Watch out, trees! Those 4G lightning bolts are about to start striking again, as Verizon's 4G network is back up after some downtime yesterday. Welcome back, buddy! Porn on the train! Hulu on my roof! Torrents on a boat! [Verizon]
Oops! A massive service outage has apparently bricked older Peek devices. Peek CEO Amol Sarva is on the case though, offering existing customers a free Peek 9 to make up for their lack of email access. Uh, great?
Yesterday's nationwide T-mobile service outage may have been due to a system software error according to a statement from a T-Mobile spokesperson:
Yep, you should be all good—if you're not, let us know ASAP. Check out the full story including the carrier's most recent statement here.

Hey guys, Just wondering what size tires I could fit on my 03 Silverado Z-71 4x4? Its stock lift-wise, just thinkin about what i'd like to do in the future. Thanks!
You could get on bigger tires either by cutting your fenders or by running fiberglass flared ones. Other than that, you're not going to get very big. Why not just get a leveling kit? They're inexpensive and easy.
Hey the biggest tires you could fit on a stock truck(no lift, no keys, no torsion bar mods, no cutting, etc.) is a 285/75
I was able to fit a set of GoodYear Silent Armor A/T 305/65R-16 (stock rims) on my 1994 K1500 Pickup. No rubbing...:gasp:
The biggest you can fit on a 99-07c 4x4 with no lift on the stock rims is 285/75/16... If you use the stock 17s from 2005+, you can fit 285/70/17s...
http://www.wheelsforless.com/GM_Truck.htm That will answer all of your questions. Hope it helps, it sure helped me!
Not sure if you still plan on doing this, but I had 33X12.5-17's on my truck prior to my leveling kit (not even a t-bar crank), and only had rubbing when backing up and turning to the left or the right. No rubbing while turning and going forward or even turning while braking (still going forward). Weird, I know, but I checked it over and over and over again.

Ours is the only state with two major college football teams that have won 10 or more games in each of the last three seasons. No other state has even two such teams that have won at least 10 games in each of the last two seasons.
More bragging rights:
The South Carolina Gamecocks, ranked No. 4 in last season's final Associated Press poll, are No. 9 in this year's preseason poll going into tonight's opener against No. 21 Texas A&M in Columbia.
And the Clemson Tigers, who were No. 8 in last season's final AP poll, are No. 16 going into Saturday night's opener at No. 12 Georgia.
OK, so it would be much better to be highly ranked in protecting women from brutes than in the AP football poll.
OK, so our low gas taxes fuel a high ranking in the high risks of decaying roads and bridges.
As for our - make that your - Gamecocks and our Tigers, though, betting against them in football over the last three seasons has also been a risky proposition. Unless, that is, you bet on USC to beat the spread against Clemson over the last five seasons - all double-digit Gamecock victories.
But when they weren't playing each other over the past three seasons, USC and Clemson combined for a sterling 62-11 record. And during those three seasons, Clemson went 4-0 against Southeastern Conference teams other than USC (two victories over Auburn, one each over LSU and Georgia).
Still, USC has the upper in-state football hand - and the honor of being the home team in tonight's first game telecast on the new SEC Network.
Pop Gamecock-lore test:
Name the season, site, opponent and outcome of the last USC football game played in South Carolina but not in Columbia or Clemson (answer at column's end).
You make the calls
So yes, we South Carolinians - and not just USC and Clemson fans - are ready for some more college football.
Yet serious questions linger on this first day of the first season with a four-team national-title playoff, including:
Will a current court-ruling trend soon have big-time sports schools like USC and Clemson paying "student-athletes" more than tuition, book costs, room, board and small stipends?
Will that give the "Power Five" conferences (SEC, Atlantic Coast, Big 10, Big 12, Pac-12) an even bigger resources edge?
Will the Big 10, which has 14 teams, and the Big 12, which has 10, ever change their misleading names?
Can the big business of big-time college athletics, including the NCAA and schools like USC and Clemson, maintain "nonprofit" and tax-deductible-contribution status while generating - and paying out - ever-more loot?
What about the numerous big-time schools already losing money on sports?
Will schools pay star quarterbacks more than third-string guards?
What about scholarship athletes - male and female - in "non-revenue" sports?
What about not just the rising price of football and basketball tickets but the rising average age of spectators?
What about the bottom lines for non-major football players like The Citadel and Charleston Southern if schedule-strength worries move big-timers to drop their "money" games against them?
How many folks will show up for tonight's Point-at-Charleston Southern opener while Texas A&M-USC is on TV, and Saturday night's Coastal Carolina-at-Citadel opener while Clemson-Georgia is on TV?
How much better could our state do in education, reducing domestic violence, fixing roads and other challenges if we focused more on those and less on football?
And how many more times will Clemson turn the ball over against USC on Nov. 29 at Death Valley after throwing three interceptions and losing three fumbles in last year's 31-17 loss at Williams-Brice Stadium while the home team committed zero turnovers?
Another costly drop
But hey, anybody can make a mistake.
For instance, Saturday's column committed an unforced turnover by misidentifying which Richard Wagner opera includes "Ride of the Valkyries." That opera, of course, is "Die Walküre."
And, of course, the most memorable assessment of that Teutonically inspired composer is this gem that Mark Twain borrowed from a theme by Edgar Wilson Nye:
"Wagner's music is better than it sounds."
Answer: 1965 season opener (Sept. 18), Johnson Hagood Stadium: USC 13, The Citadel 3.

At www.q-mag.org/the-age-of-water-on-earth.html ... the question as to whether water is abundant in the universe has been on the mind of scientists for a long time now. Calculations using computer models have now entered the fray - and it is being suggested that it is possible there is a lot of water out there in space.
Physics news
Big Bang dynamics
At http://phys.org/print342359840.html .... a German cosmologist says the theory of the quantum mode of structure in the universe has been confirmed - even proved. However, he also says that a reported signal said to confirm the existence of primordial gravitational waves can be attributed to dust in our own galaxy.
wormholes in heaven
At http://phys.org/print341045140.html ... evidence is said to exist that our galaxy could be a huge wormhole - but not everyone would agree (even physicists). The paper is in the Annals of Physics and the idea is to rethink dark matter. They can't see the stuff but apparently they can map how much dark matter is in the Milky Way. The following remark is somewhat revealing, 'obviously, we are not claiming that our galaxy is definitely a worm hole but simply that according to theoretical models this hypothesis is a possibility'.
Energy systems
At http://phys.org/print338190635.html ... is about thermoelectric power plants that seek to harvest the ocean waves by pumping cold water up through a heat exchanger
Bankrupting Physics
A book is now available, 'Bankrupting Physics: how today's top scientists are gambling away scientific credibility' and is written by Alexander Unzicker and Shiella Jones. It is said to debunk modern theoretical physics and at the same time also takes a swipe at the huge amounts of money used to fuel high energy particle accelerators. I wouldn't have the temerity to comment as I have not read the book - but anyone so inclined is welcome to write a short review and send it via the email link on the web page.
Atmospheric Gases
At http://phys.org/print333613144.html ... a paper in Nature Geoscience (Oct 2014) has suggested the origin of Earth's nitrogen rich atmosphere is due to the tectonic forces that drive mountain building, subduction, and Plate Tectonics. It also adds, presumably quoting a consensus source, the chemistry of the air we breathe has been affected by millions and millions of years of photosynthesis. The oxygen upstairs, it is thought, can be mostly explained away as due to plants and trees growing on the surface of the Earth. This sounds a bit like a chicken and egg situation.
Fluid Dynamics
Tim Cullen is turning his attention to fluid dynamics but not sure what the end result will be - go to http://malagabay.wordpress.com/2014/10/03/couette-flow-1-viscosity/ ... which may have repercussions on a lot of things we take for granted. He says there is no settled science involved because of natural complexities recognised by physicists, as such, and the use of approximations and exceptions and various controversies that have developed over the years. A good science subject then.
CERN update
At http://phys.org/print323490400.html ... we are back at CERN and the Large Hadron Collider. Not many press releases from CERN recently but they have been upgrading their baby - big time (and fast approaching a new season of experiments). The Higgs Boson particle is the focus of atttention. They have sifted through reams of experimental data in order to understand the traits and behaviour of the particle. None of it seems capable of explaining dark matter and in addition there is no evidence of supersymmetry.
Greenhouse Venus
There is a discussion ongoing at http://tallbloke.wordpress.com/2014/06/28/venus-surface-temp-correctly-p... ... and one commenter has come on and said Venus was born from Jupiter just 6000 years ago. What is the modern view of Carl Sagan's greenhouse Venus - go to link above and join in if you like.
The cusp of cold fusion technology
At http://chiefio.wordpress.com/2014/06/04/lenr-year-of-answers/ ... 2014 is likely to be important for Cold Fusion (Low Energy Nuclear Reactors or LENR) according to www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2014-01/15/cold-fusion-moves-into-mainstream ... but strangely, since January it has all gone a bit quiet (so has Wired overhyped). First we have the Cyclone engine developed by Cyclone Power Technologies in the US. This can run on virtually anything - from oil, gas, biomass, powdered coal, or even by waste heat or solar collectors.

Why don't you volunteer to pick up groceries for firefighters? This is in response to Mr. Rolly Seguin's letter. Mr. Seguin, may I ask you to review what Windsor's finest do on one 48-hour shift as noted below and quoted from the Duties and Responsibilities of a Firefighter as outlined on their website:
Firefighters in grocery stores means no emergency at that time This issue has been in the news many times in the past and here we go again. Firefighters are seen at a grocery store buying their food for the daily meal when they all sit down together. It is a family.
Grocery shopping in metro Detroit This post is part of Windsor for the win, a blog about discovering Windsor (and the perks of living in a border city). I hear it all the time – the way to save money on groceries if you live […]
Windsor fire truck usage raises questions, comments Thursday's Star story by Beatrice Fantoni about city firefighters being questioned about using fire trucks for food runs and cruising sure filled up the comment box in a hurry.

When you pack your clothes tonight, don't pack up all the blame
You're not the first to walk away and leave someone in pain
I know how much it's hurting you, hurting me this way
Believe me, I've been in your shoes and I know you can't stay
I've been on both sides of goodbye
And I know there ain't no easy side
I've loved and I've been loved but not at the same time
I've been on both sides of goodbye
Don't feel so bad for doing what you have to do
You can't make your heart love me if it doesn't want to
When love doesn't go both ways and someone's got to go
So close that door and don't look back, believe me I know
I've been on both sides of goodbye
And I know there ain't no easy side
I've loved and I've been loved but not at the same time
I've been on both sides of goodbye

Is this video any different from the one posted two weeks ago?

Correct, but we had to make a couple of changes

what about ableton?

Both controllers have good integration with LIVE, but at the time of review, there wasn't any information available for the Axiom.
I'll see if we can find out some more information about this and post here.

Actually, I should say that Axiom presets and information wasnt available at the time of review, but we have subsequently found out that told that it does, we know the SL does.

Great video from our favorite Hugh Laurie look a like! ;)

Thanks for making this video, it's a great help.
Can you explain further what you mean by "resorting to conventional midi, of course" when talking about how the sl mk2 falls short in terms of controlling logic's internal instruments and fx?

The broken Axiom key gives me a bad taste. I think the Novation is a better buy.
22-Jul-09 10:56 PM
what's wrong with the sixth note on the axiom ? :o) couldn't find one that was new or did you break it yourself ?

I heard a lot of bad experiences with the M-audio controllers.The bad key on the axiom was obviously a statement.I think I would rather go for the SL unless M-audio builds their controllers more robust and sturdy. Thanks for this review.
