Wearable devices have come of age. The primary applications of wearables so far have been "the Quantified Self" or the tracking of one's fitness and health status. We propose the evolution of wearables into social and emotional communication devices. Our BE(tm) sensor uses light to visualize the skin conductance response. Our sensors are very inexpensive and can be massively distributed to audiences or groups of any size, in order to gauge reactions to performances, video, or any kind of presentation. In her session at @ThingsExpo, Jocelyn Scheirer, CEO & Founder of Bionolux, will discuss ho...

The true value of the Internet of Things (IoT) lies not just in the data, but through the services that protect the data, perform the analysis and present findings in a usable way. With many IoT elements rooted in traditional IT components, Big Data and IoT isn't just a play for enterprise. In fact, the IoT presents SMBs with the prospect of launching entirely new activities and exploring innovative areas. CompTIA research identifies several areas where IoT is expected to have the greatest impact.

Every day we read jaw-dropping stats on the explosion of data. We allocate significant resources to harness and better understand it. We build businesses around it. But we've only just begun. For big payoffs in Big Data, CIOs are turning to cognitive computing. Cognitive computing's ability to securely extract insights, understand natural language, and get smarter each time it's used is the next, logical step for Big Data.

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 Industrial Internet revolution is now underway, enabled by connected machines and billions of devices that communicate and collaborate. The massive amounts of Big Data requiring real-time analysis is flooding legacy IT systems and giving way to cloud environments that can handle the unpredictable workloads. Yet many barriers remain until we can fully realize the opportunities and benefits from the convergence of machines and devices with Big Data and the cloud, including interoperability, data security and privacy.

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...

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.

Container frameworks, such as Docker, provide a variety of benefits, including density of deployment across infrastructure, convenience for application developers to push updates with low operational hand-holding, and a fairly well-defined deployment workflow that can be orchestrated. Container frameworks also enable a DevOps approach to application development by cleanly separating concerns between operations and development teams. But running multi-container, multi-server apps with containers is very hard. You have to learn five new and different technologies and best practices (libswarm, sy...

The Internet of Things is a misnomer. That implies that everything is on the Internet, and that simply should not be - especially for things that are blurring the line between medical devices that stimulate like a pacemaker and quantified self-sensors like a pedometer or pulse tracker.

While great strides have been made relative to the video aspects of remote collaboration, audio technology has basically stagnated. Typically all audio is mixed to a single monaural stream and emanates from a single point, such as a speakerphone or a speaker associated with a video monitor. This leads to confusion and lack of understanding among participants especially regarding who is actually speaking. Spatial teleconferencing introduces the concept of acoustic spatial separation between conference participants in three dimensional space. This has been shown to significantly improve comprehe...

Add Tattoo Artists To The List Of People You Don't Want Angry At You
There are certain people it's particularly wise to avoid conflict with — at least until you don't need them anymore. For example, you never want to mouth off to your barber before he cuts your hair. It's also wise to be extremely polite to your waitress before she brings you your food. The last thing you want is an angry waitress trying to figure out what sort of special sauce she can have slipped onto your burger to get back at you for complaining about the slow service. There's now another profession you want to be VERY, VERY CAREFUL about insulting: tattoo artists.
A 21-YEAR-OLD man has been charged by police in Ipswich for allegedly tattooing a penis on a man's back – instead of the image he had requested.
…He wanted a yin and yang symbol with some dragons, but was instead shocked to discover the 40cm tattoo was of a penis with an obscene slogan.
…Police said the tattooing followed an argument between the men, during which the professional tattooist allegedly took offence at something the other man said.
The victim has also alleged he was punched and thrown out of the house following the tattooing.
First off, I'm not sure that something as trite as a "yin and yang symbol with some dragons" would be much of an improvement over a penis….okay, maybe that's a wee bit of an exaggeration. Yet and still, why do people get lame tats like that? If you're going to get a tattoo to show everyone how unique you are, why not go all out? What's the worst that can happen…well, besides having a penis tattooed on your back?
Wow. There is the arm of a human being who could explain in great detail what the word "regret" means. Well, at least there's nowhere to go but up from there, right? Wrong….
The only thing worse than having Mr. "Malaise Forever" tattooed on your body is having his face on your behind. And, yes, in case you're wondering, that is Janeane Garofalo's butt cheek. I kid, I kid…I think. I can actually neither confirm nor deny that's Janeane Garofalo's butt cheek.
Anyway, none of this probably makes the guy with the penis tattoo on his back feel any better, but unlike the two owners of these tats, at least he can comfort himself with the fact that he didn't voluntarily have a **** inked on his body.

Future Yankees closer
Who's it going to be?

2. Soriano?
3. Chamberlain?
Any input is always appreciated.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I think he has said something about being done this season or the next I just cant see them spend the money they spent on Soriano for him to be a set up man
- 1 Reply to Wraith
Thanks guys.
Soriano would be the logical choice as of right now. But, Rivera seems like he is going to pitch for awhile still. So, who knows?
I believe Soriano with all the money they paid him that is the only logical reason behind it
It all depends when Mo finally decides that he's going to retire. At this rate, if he can remain healthy, he will pitch for another 2-3 years or so.
However, if he retires before then, then Soriano is the next in line. You never know who may come up and surprise them, though.

i would let mariano close until the wheels fell off or he decided to quit.
i think the yankees are trying to groom chamberlain for it.

Manchester Street School principal Rex Wheeler remembers being a "sandpit boy" as a child - keen to be doing almost anything other than reading or writing.
It wasn't until he was introduced to comic books by his mother when he was 10 that he found his passion for reading, and it's a fuse he's now trying to ignite for a new generation of "sandpit boys" lagging behind in their literacy skills.
Wheeler shared the insights he'd gained from implementing a Principal's Reading Group at his Feilding school as part of a series of presentations organised by The Reading and Literacy in the Manawatu group, or ReaLM, at the Massey University Sports and Rugby Institute yesterday.
ReaLM is a group of librarians and teachers who aim to provide professional development opportunities for librarians and literacy educators, as well as hosting events promoting children's literacy.
Wheeler's class of pupils needing additional help with reading gather in his office for half an hour each day, where he reads books to them and discusses the text and images as he goes.
Standardised literacy tests consistently showed that boys scored lower than girls in multiple countries, and it troubled Wheeler when he saw children, particularly boys, at his own school who needed "reading recovery" help, but left school without having "got there".
"What disappointed me [was] that I was letting learners out of our school into intermediate, that wouldn't have the skills to really make them successful there, or really help them when they went on to high school."
"As a youngster, when I try and think back, I cannot remember ever, my mum or my dad, ever reading me a story."
His "life of books" didn't start until he was 10 years old, when his mother bought him the Topper and Ginger English cartoon comics.
Incorporating themes, critical thinking and materials, the classes, which he has run for both year five and year six boys, have been turning things around for their pupils. The words of one of Wheeler's pupils, written in a statement about the class, probably sums up its results best.
"It's like I had a big bubble cloud in my head and now it's burst and let out my writing, thinking and reading . . . so now it's all easier and I'm getting better."

What to watch for: The season begins!
Updated: April 2, 2010, 4:45 PM ETBy Eric Karabell
It all begins on Sunday night, when Josh Beckett throws the first pitch of the season to Derek Jeter. It has been six months since Alexi Casilla hit the final pitch of the 2009 season, a weak offering from a tired Fernando Rodney, into right field for the game-winning hit that decided the AL Central title, and officially ended the fantasy baseball season in overtime. Now a new season is just 48 hours away. Are you ready?
The most obvious thing I will be watching this weekend is actual baseball. Man, I've been waiting months for this! In this regular workweek-ending Friday blog, here are things to watch for, from a fantasy baseball angle. If you've been putting off things like chores and taxes and spending time with family, I recommend handling them this weekend. There's only one major league baseball game. We won't say that again until October!

Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple
... has over 1000 rooms, only some are open to the public. We did get to see many different religious relics and the tombs of some of the past Dalai Lamas. There was definitely a lot of gold used in some cases. After lunch, we went to visit Jokhang temple. This temple is in the middle of old Lhasa but the surrounding area has been rebuilt so it doesn't look old at all any more. Construction of this temple began in 647 CE during the time of King ...

In Xegar, with everything yet again being closed, we luckily managed to find a friendly tea house that was willing to feed us and let us cuddle their cat. Apparently winter isn't the popular season for travel in Tibet, even the locals seem to resort to the habit of hibernation.

There are two sections to the place the Red and White Palace. The White Palace or Potrang Karpo is the part of the Potala Palace that was the living quarters of the Dalai Lama. The Red Palace or Potrang Marpo is solely for religious study and prayer. The yellow signifies good luck and black is to ward off evil spirits ...

Divine Trash
Well never forget the time our college art professor sent us Dumpster-diving for supplies. Two cracked frames, a dozen food wrappers, and a moldy banana peel later, we had a piece of art that looked (and smelled) like a trash can. Somehow, local artist Angela Cazel Jahn doesnt suffer from the same problem. I retreat to my studio and take up leftover construction materials like drywall and house paint, found objects, junk that sparkles, obsolete books, X-Acto knives, and little bits of paper, says Cazel Jahn. Her Dumpster finds are transformed into snazzy, resin-coated collages, which you can see at the closing reception for her current Idea Series exhibit at eye lounge.
Also featured is kinetic sculptor Nick Hochstetler, whose gesture.graph machine interprets light information from television or live performance and translates it into line drawings.

Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.
Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.
This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.
A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.
Please start a discussion to share stories, photos, and videos. Replies will pop up in your "latest activity" and a conversation can develop from the feelings and thoughts you contributed. Groups are built on discussions.

Thanks everyone for the posts and pics. Just the ticket for causing a morning smile.
And hugs to all of you!
Dido really shines like satin. All my cats all knew the difference between an accident and on purpose actions - I've seen their reaction to certain people that visited us - no good at all - and much later I understood that the cats were right and I should have been warned by their behaviour. Now I pay attention to what the cats think about visitors.
Hugs back, Melinda. You bring a lot of smiles and fun to this group. I always enjoy your pics and stories.
Chris, does Dido"s fur look like satin? Our black cat's does.
I know what you mean, Melinda. There is a special energy that comes out of this group. You add so much to my enjoyment as do each one of you.
Melinda, another keeper kat! Friday, here we come.
Patricia on April 4, 2013 at 12:55pm is a photo of a little girl with haunted eyes that you posted. I was going trough the files to make sure I read everything and ran across it. Making a comment on it, on then page 12, I didn't realize my response would be so far away.
Patricia, those haunted eyes of that little girl. She has some wounds. I hope she has someone who loves her. Whatever caused her pain, I hope they can no longer hurt her and she has some healing memories.
Chis, Dido is gorgeous. I hadn't thought of the danger of tripping over a b lack cat at night. I hope that doesn't happen at the top of the stairs.
Your cardboard box sounds like fun, Flying Atheist.
We made a temporary hutch out of a big sturdy cardboard box, which is a good height for tour two big cats to look out of the guest bedroom window. That room was their transition room when we got them over a year ago. The box is still there for them, but now they use the aerobed instead.
Cats seem to know when you hurt them accidentally, and forgive quickly. That's been our experience when tripping or stepping on a tail.
Our thermometer briefly got up to 88° this afternoon. Meanwhile blizzards from Colorado to South Dakota.

No problems here. I think it's interesting that they spent so much time on the aero interface and improving looks for powerful PCs only to go back the other direction, but I don't mind. I honestly have no issues that can't be fixed myself, such as adding an icon to the desktop that shuts down the computer immediately, or other tweaks. I'm very pleased so far.

Cabinet reshuffle: Ukraine, Syria, Middle East... a baptism of fire awaits new Foreign Secretary at the Foreign Office
William Hague's departure just now may well be the deftest move of an astute politician
It just shows – you can't trust the political punditry and the political pundits can't trust their "confidential" briefings.
Until this weekend Downing Street were confidently telling trusted journalists that there would be no change in David Cameron's top team of George Osborne, Theresa May and William Hague.
And now Mr Hague has gone – to the post of Leader of the Commons from whom the current incumbent Andrew Lansley has just exited.
Downing Street and Mr Hague both insist that the move is voluntary and there is no reason to believe that it's not. But it is still not the best of timings. The new Foreign Secretary will have to "learn the ropes" against the background of a new European Commission with a President who is, at best, antipathetic to the British Government.
They will have to formate policy in Middle East against the growing crisis of Islamic extremism in Syria. Then there are on-going problems in Ukraine, a nuclear deal with Iran which is touch and go, and in the background the biggest question of all: how on earth to deliver a deal in Europe which will allow David Cameron to win an in/out referendum in 2017.
It is pretty daunting inbox.
To his credit Mr Hague has been a deft and astute diplomat who will be missed. But he may also be showing that he is a deft and astute politician – by getting out in time.

Drink between: 2013 - 2017 (Add My Dates)
Limited fruit and finish. Earthy nose. Very light color and texture.
Had a nice smoky flavor. Classic pinot flavors with smooth finish.
Crowd pleaser; this didn't last long with its silky mouth feel. Darker side of the red fruit spectrum with clove and baking spices. Nice acids up front, sneaky smooth tanins bringing up the rear. Enjoyable.
Lots of wine character-leather, forest floor. Not so much fruit; what's there is dark berry in character.
Tasted at winery in vertical with 09 and 11. (10 was best, this was next, 11 was last). 2009 was a hot year and it shows, with this wine clipping 14% abv. Very prominent fruit, but surprisingly dark fruit notes, with some "dustiness" up front and on the nose. Black cherry and a hint of smoke in the finish are very nice, but I was put off by a slightly strange turpentine/solvent kind of note on the very end.

Samsung rumored to intro GT-I8190 'Golden' in November
Lest you thought Samsung was going to finish the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II, you'd only be partially correct. Word on the street is that they are cooking up yet another Android device for November, a little something nicknamed 'Golden".
Details are very scarce at this point, however a SamMobile source advises the GT-I8190 phone will have a 5-megapixel camera and come in two color options: Metallic Blue and Ceramic White. We know it's not hard to pin these specs on just about any Samsung phone but it's all we've got thus far. Expect Android 4.0 or 4.1 for the operating system and Samsung's TouchWiz UI.
Considering the 'Golden' codename and preliminary specs, we'd like to posit that this might be the affordable model that's set to do battle with the iPhone 5. Yes, we know the Galaxy S III bests the Apple handset on a number of hardware fronts. A lower-priced device that falls more closely in line with the iPhone 5 could really help push Samsung's overall numbers into another galaxy.
As a reminder, a Galaxy S III Mini is expected later this year and was tied to rumors of a 5-megapixel camera, dual-core processor, and a 4.0-inch SuperAMOLED display. This was the model that is allegedly designed to compete with the iPhone 5 with a price of around 250 euros.
