Recently, I gathered with a group of digital marketing professionals to discuss emerging topics in marketing at New York University's School of Continuing and Professional Studies.
It was my first time teaching the class and I was excited to develop the curriculum and plan the three-day session. I decided to cover three topics that should be on every CMO's radar in this session of "Emerging Topics in Marketing," pulled right out of the headlines appearing in just about every trade publication: omni-channel, wearables, and big data.
We started each topic by exploring what it is and progressed into a discussion of what it can do for us as marketers as why it's important from a marketing point-of-view. Here are the definitions we used for omni-channel, wearables, and big data:
Omni-channel is as consumer-centric as it gets. When engaging with consumers on an omni-channel environment, it's critical to view the entire brand experience through the eyes of the consumer; the consumer experience across all channels must be seamless, integrated, and consistent. Why? Consumers may start their journey on one channel and move to other channels as they progress to conversion.
What the hell are "wearables?" I cribbed (and then slightly modified) this definition from the folks at wearabledevices.com: The terms "wearable technology", "wearable devices", and "wearables" all refer to electronic technologies or computers that are incorporated into items of clothing and accessories which can comfortably be worn on the body. Wearable's can provide sensory and scanning features not typically seen in mobile and laptop devices, such as biofeedback and tracking of physiological function.
Big Data
I've been doing a lot of work with the SAS folks of late over on Big Data Forum and I love Jill Dyche's definition of big data (she's the VP of Thought Leadership at SAS): "The emerging technologies and practices that enable the collection, processing, discovery, and storage of large volumes of structured and unstructured data quickly and cost-effectively."
I worked my network and was fortunate enough to have three kick-ass guests, one for each topic.
Billy Aymami, a colleague of mine at Wipro Digital, came in to speak about omni-channel. Billy's got a unique perspective about omni-channel, as he's focused on user/consumer experience at Wipro Digital as part of his work in the digital transformation space. As I said above, omni-channel is about as consumer-centric as it gets, so having Billy's user/consumer experience insights gleaned from years of working with top brands and agencies was invaluable.
The big takeaway: put the consumer first in all you do with omni-channel. That may sound pretty obvious, but you'd be surprised how many organizations jump into omni-channel initiatives with a technology-first approach and leave the consumer (and the consumer experience) completely out of the equation.
Ed Stening, the Associate Director of Digital Strategy & MultiChannel Marketing at Zoetis was our guest on the topic of wearables. He brought along a pair of Google Glass, which we all got to try on and play with for a few minutes. Ed's a strategic thinker for sure, and a bit of a self-proclaimed geek when it comes to technology (and products like Google Glass). I found his views on the wearables space to be refreshing and smart. He shared a number of examples of wearables in the marketplace and their practical uses and also provided some tips from his personal and professional experience.
The big takeaway: test and learn. It's early in the evolution of wearables and there's not only lots to learn, there's something new happening every day. Don't be afraid to jump in, take some risks, and even make some mistakes – they're great opportunities to learn and grow. That means getting your hands on wearable technology and maybe even doing a proof-of-concept pilot or three.
To wrap things up, my buddy and former client Imran Haque, Head of eCommerce, Digital Strategy and Multichannel Marketing at Zoetis, dropped in for a chat on the topic of big data. It was a spirited discussion driven by Imran's opening question: "Is big data simply a pain for companies and 'big brother' for consumers?" We discussed some unique cases where big data is being applied and touched on the the CMO's evolving role now that big data's in the picture.
The big takeaway: Imran drove home the point that in order to make big data initiatives work, you've got to really take ownership of the outcomes. But the first order of business is understanding the problem you're trying to solve. And don't forget the culture of the organization (and the people it serves); there could be some work needed to transform people, processes, and more when making big data a part of your operational standard.
I'll definitely run the three-day session again. It was that much fun! I'd love to see you there next time (perhaps the topics will be different). As I've recently started a new gig working with Wipro Digital as a Practice Director in the areas of digital strategy and innovation, I'm not sure when that'll be. Drop me a note and I'll put you on the contact list for future events/classes.
Are you working with (or interested in) omni-channel, wearables, or big data? Please share your experiences, thoughts, questions, or anything else that's relevant, in the comments.

Once the tour was completed, LOA went directly back into the studio to work on their next album, 1995's Ugly, which signaled a complete overhauling of the band's signature heavy-duty sound. The album resembled the sounds of the alternative stars of the day, especially Stone Temple Pilots, and it wasn't greeted favorably by the record-buying public. LOA were still able to retain their audience, and the resulting tour was a success, as they opened for the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Korn, Type O Negative, and Anthrax. Drummer Abruscato exited the band after the tour, and was replaced by ex-Pro Pain/Crumbsuckers drummer Dan Richardson. Their next release, 1997's Soul Searching Sun, followed essentially the same formula as its predecessor, and was again met by a varied response.
Keith Caputo left the group before the tour, letting the members know that his heart was no longer in the music. The other bandmembers were crushed, but because of their commitments they needed to fill the spot immediately. At an Anthrax show a few years before, former Ugly Kid Joe vocalist Whitfield Crane had told Joey Z. about his desire to play heavier music, so LOA's manager spoke to Crane and he jumped at the chance. The new lineup had only a week to rehearse, and the bandmembers barely knew Crane when they let him join. Once the tour ended, they went back to the studio to record, only to realize that they no longer wanted to continue as Life of Agony without Caputo. They flirted with the idea of Robert singing with Stuck Mojo bassist Corey Lowery filling his spot, but the lineup was doomed from the start and the band officially disbanded in April of 1999.
That was the final word on Life of Agony until 2003, when the original lineup reunited for two shows. The reunion led to a live album (River Runs Again) as well as the studio effort Broken Valley, issued through Epic Records in June 2005. In 2009, Life Of Agony performed their debut album, River Runs Red, in its entirety as well as other material in front of a sold out house in Brussels, Belgium. They recorded and filmed (via a ten camera shoot) the proceeding. In 2010, I Scream Records released the CD/DVD package, 20 Years Strong: River Runs Red, Live in Brussels. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi

Solarquest, Pluto and the importance of New Horizons
By Margaret Harris
Last night, in honour of the New Horizons mission to Pluto, I pulled out my copy of Solarquest. This classic board game was a childhood favourite of mine, and it's basically Monopoly in space: instead of buying properties named after streets in Atlantic City, New Jersey (or London, if you're British), you buy planets, moons and artificial satellites. Then, when your fellow players land on an object you own, you charge them rent.
Such nostalgia is all well and good, I hear you say, but what's it got to do with New Horizons or Pluto? Well, Solarquest's inventors clearly took their science seriously. By board game standards, there's quite a lot of physics in it. For example, you can't leave a planet unless you roll a number high enough to overcome its gravitational pull, and its Monopoly-like property deed cards include facts about each planet and moon as well as their prices.
ILC Science Club, science fiction versus science fact and siblings in physics
By Hamish Johnston
At the end of next week millions of children in England and Wales will start their summer holidays and many parents will now be scrambling to find activities to keep their little dears occupied. Physics World can recommend a virtual trip to ILC Science Kids Club courtesy of the Tokyo Cable Network and Japan's Advanced Accelerator Association. ILC stands for International Linear Collider, which is one of several proposed to take over when the Large Hadron Collider is eventually retired. In the first video of the series, a boy called Haru learns why scientists are keen on building accelerators from his Uncle Tomo. The video is in Japanese with English subtitles, so as well as learning about particle physics, your little tykes might even pick up a little Japanese.

Getting into the mind of Maxwell
By Matin Durrani
In case you've forgotten – and shame on you if you have – 2015 has been designated the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies (IYL 2015). There's been loads going on all over the globe, which you can follow on the excellent IYL 2015 blog, and we at Physics World have been in on the act too don't forget. Our March 2015 issue was devoted to light and we also produced a digital-only collection of our 10 best features on light, which you can read free here.
Atomic time was born 60 years ago today
By Hamish Johnston
"The death of the astronomical second and the birth of atomic time" is how the British physicist Louis Essen described 3 June 1955, when the world's first practical atomic clock ticked for the first time.
The place was Teddington on the outskirts of London, which is home to the National Physical Laboratory (NPL). Essen's clock was based on a beam of caesium atoms and was monitored by microwave technology inspired by his wartime work on radar. The clock was more than a metre long and nicknamed the "Flying Bedstead" by engineers at the BBC, who used it as an input for their radio time signal. The clock made atomic time available worldwide for the first time 60 years ago. Then, in 1967, the second was redefined as an SI unit based on an atomic transition in caesium, thereby ending the ancient practice of defining time though astronomical observations.

Was Bruno Pontecorvo a spy?
By Matin Durrani
Like all good publications, Prospect has a strapline about itself – "the leading magazine of ideas". Physics World is also about ideas, although sadly our magazine, great though it is, doesn't have adverts for Cartier watches, Embraer executive jets or the Taj Exotica Resort & Spa in the Maldives as Prospect does. Clearly, some people with ideas have more money to spend than others.
I was kindly invited last week by the deputy editor of Prospect, Jay Elwes, to an event he hosted at the magazine's headquarters in central London. The event featured the University of Oxford physicist Frank Close, who has just published a new book on the life and times of Bruno Pontecorvo. Close was on hand to discuss the key themes of the book, which is entitled Half Life: the Divided Life of Bruno Pontecorvo. Elwes described the attendees as a "small, high-powered group", including as it did Pauline Neville Jones, the former chair of the UK's Joint Intelligence Committee and Jonathan Evans, the former director-general of the British security service MI5.
Rediscovering Marie Curie and the pioneering women of science
By Tushna Commissariat
This Sunday, as the world celebrates International Women's Day, I'll be thinking of some amazing women who had a huge impact on the world of physics, helping shape the field as we know it today. Indeed, yesterday I was at the Institute of Physics in London, attending a day-long conference on "The lives and times of pioneering women in physics" hosted by the Institute's Women in Physics group along with its History of Physics group. While there were a host of interesting speakers at the event, undoubtedly the star of the day was French nuclear physicist Hélène Langevin-Joliot, granddaughter of one of the 20th-century's most famous female physicists – Marie Curie.
Oscar-nominated physics, putting the jump into popping corn and more
By Tushna Commissariat
There is nothing quite like a bowl of hot, buttery popcorn – and it seems as if even physicists are enthralled by it as they dig into the pops and jumps of this tasty snack. A recent article in the New York Times caught our attention this week, as it talked about how a French research duo used high-speed video cameras and a hot plate to see just why a kernel of corn not only pops, but also leaps up as it puffs. The team found that as the kernel's hull is breached, we hear the popping sound and this is swiftly followed by the jump that happens when a puffy bit of the inside pushes out and makes the corn jump, a bit like a muscle twitch. Take a look at the lovely slow-motion video above of individual kernels leaping about like perfect puffy ballet dancers.

Paris ushers in the International Year of Light
By Matin Durrani in Paris
It was a grey and dank morning yesterday in the French capital, with even the top of the Eiffel Tower shrouded in clouds – perhaps not the most auspicious weather for the official opening ceremony of the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies (IYL 2015) here at the headquarters of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
Inside the conference hall, however, all was brightly lit. The stage was bathed in beams of light in all the colours of the rainbow as the 1500 or so delegates first watched an official IYL 2015 video and then listened as a series of dignitaries voiced their backing for the initiative.
These included a message of support from UN director-general Ban Ki-moon read out by an official and a video recording from Irina Bokova, UNESCO director-general. There were also speakers from Ghana, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia and Saudi Arabia – the five nations that took a key role in getting IYL 2015 approved by the UN in late 2013.
Blockbuster physics, bowling balls and feathers in a vacuum, and more
By Tushna Commissariat
The results of a successful scientific experiment can make scientists very happy. Indeed, in the clip above, taken from the BBC TV series Human Universe, one scientist exclaims "holy mackarel!" when he sees the outcome he was hoping for. In the video, everybody's favourite physicist Brian Cox carries out an experiment similar to Galileo's Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment, where he tested that no matter the mass of objects, they fall at the same rate under gravity. In the video above, Cox drops a bunch of feathers and a bowling ball in the world's biggest vacuum chamber – the Space Simulation Vacuum Chamber at NASA's Space Power Facility in Ohio, US. In the slow-motion video, you can see with exquisite clarity just how accurate Galileo's prediction was, as the feathers and ball land at precisely the same time. We came across this video on the Dot Physics blog on the Wired Science network, written by physicist Rhett Allain, where he has worked out some of the maths and pointed out some of the nuances of the above experiment, so make sure you take a look.

Which support is better for the neck, the thick or skinny? And will it be easy to remove after the print?
This frog is quite nice in Voronoi Style
Supports? :/ I am mid print and I am really scared it's going to screw up at the top of the neck. Blahhhh
There are STL files with support in the file. So your slicer doesn't have to generate the support structure.
It worked out in the end! The chin needed a little sand paper, but my grandmom is going to love it.
Great work! Where did you modeled it?
I already covered that question here:
Sadly, there is no simple "Klick and go", but a lo of small steps to do.
I have been wanting to create objects with the voronoi pattern for quite some time. FANTSTIC!!! Are you using a pugin in Blender. Could you detail quickly how its done?

We're available 24/7 to discuss treatment options.
Laura Sunn, MD
January 10, 2014
By now, many of us have resolved to make 2014 better than 2013 by making lifestyle changes. We promise to lose 20 pounds, cook more meals at home and organize every room in the house… And those are just a few! While it's great to make changes in your behavior to improve your sense of well-being, sometimes resolutions can be too much to tackle.
There is a reciprocal relationship between success and a good mood. If you enjoy the activity you're doing, you're more likely to be successful at it. Success means satisfaction, which helps you stick with what you want to do. When settling on a New Year's resolution, consider the following ideas to help you accomplish what you want this year.
Make realistic goals: Focus on goals that can be achieved and that will make a positive impact on your life. The emotional tone of your plan needs to be hopeful, happy or pleasurable.
Develop a specific action plan: Determine short- and long-term steps that will help you reach your goal. Instead of resolving to lose 10 pounds, create a plan that includes how you will achieve that goal and focuses on health and wellness.
Publicly share your resolution: Tell your friends and family about it. Post updates on Facebook/Twitter to track your progress. Sharing your resolution publicly will make you more accountable and may bring you the added support from friends and family so you can achieve it.
Don't pass up the opportunity to set goals for yourself to improve your health, your relationships with others, or whatever it is that will make you happier in 2014. Learn more about mind-body medicine at our hospitals.

What to look for in a BM 59?
I've been researching these interesting rifles recently, but they appear to have one of the muddiest historical records of any rifle I've looked into
Some made by Beretta, some by Springfield, and some are still made by random shops ranging from Bubba to the illustrious Shuff's Parkerizing outfit. Since the BM59 series were conceived to be M1's modified on the cheap into modern guns (essentially M14-type rifles), there is a lot of variance in both the guns modifed, and in the configuration they were modified to.
My question is; what should I be looking for in a potential buy? The only things I've come across as being (fairly) fool proof ways to tell a real BM59 are:
-A really low serial no. (i.e. 000xxxx or X000xxx as opposed to 2xxxxxx)
-Rear receiver stamping of P. Beretta or Springfield Armory (as opposed to Natl. Ord or other)
-Absolutely ensuring there are no indications of reciever rewelding
-A gap between gas tube and barrel (unlike Garand mods, with no gap)
*-Presence of a winter trigger lever at the front of the trigger guard (implies Alpine and similiar models)
*-Two-tube folding butt stock, if a folder
*-5" "tri compensator" with lugs on its bottom side
Even to these criteria, it sounds like there are exceptions (aside from the reweld jobs, which seem to have a really bad rep for reliability, regardless of price). Are there any other "rules of thumb" for spotting a real (and hopefully, good) BM 59? These guns seem very cool; the big brother of the M1 carbine , and look to be a good deal handier than my FNAR Heavy Barrel.
I suppose I should also ask if anybody with experience with the guns could sound off on how well they liked (or hated :uhoh the rifle, since they are not very common.
*may or may not be present based on model/config

It's been awhile since I've owned a BM62, so bear with me. Look for a Berben or Benet import first... then a Springfield Armory. Avoid Golden State unless it's really cheap... they are mostly re-welds.
Also... if you go to machinegunboards.com... there is a BM59 (and to a lesser degree the 62/69) specific forum. A few of the members are exceptionally knowledgeable regarding the history, models, variations... and who imported what, where and when.

Issue selection, inflation concerns still critical, panelists say.
In an article previewing our bond-fund manager panel at the 2008 Morningstar Investment Conference, my colleague Paul Herbert posed several key questions for three of our favorite multisector bond-fund managers, and we were eager to hear their insights. Judging by the standing-room-only crowd at Thursday's session, we weren't the only ones looking for answers. Before a jam-packed audience, managers Dan Fuss of Loomis Sayles, Curtis Mewbourne of PIMCO, and Derek Young of Fidelity offered their views on the credit crisis, what keeps them up at night, and where they're finding the best opportunities around the globe in their wide-roaming strategies.
Given all the uncertainty that has plagued bond markets this past year, we find it comforting that these three managers have more to agree than disagree about--a sign that some clarity has returned to what, for many, has been a frustratingly fuzzy climate. Although some subtle differences emerge when they get down to the nitty-gritty details, we think the common themes that materialized in their discussion offer valuable insights into the opportunities and pitfalls present in bond markets today.
The Credit Crisis
You can breathe a sigh of relief, the panelists agree, because the worst of the credit crunch is behind us. Young kicked off the panel discussion by pointing out that the crisis, in its early stages, was fueled by widespread panic that souring subprime-backed securities would wreak havoc in unexpected places. On top of that, the complexity and obscurity of the securities in question made it difficult initially to get a handle on the overall size and scope of the danger. But as the crisis has played out, we've seen major financial institutions announce a series of subprime-related write-downs, giving investors a better handle on both the location and magnitude of the damage.
Mewbourne also cites the Fed's history-making measures in March--namely, taking on the role of lender of last resort to investment banks and orchestrating the Bear Stearns bailout--as a clear line drawn in the sand affirming the long-term viability of key U.S. financial institutions. Although the road ahead could be bumpy, both Mewbourne and Fuss think the slammed financial sector has opened up opportunities to buy solid quality bonds at extremely attractive prices.
Not So Fast
Even if the worst of the credit crunch is in the rearview mirror, not everything's coming up roses for this trio. All three point out that, as the impact of the credit crisis shifts from Wall Street to Main Street, USA, specific issue selection and careful fundamental research become even more critical. After all, some companies aren't equipped to weather tough economic times, and a bond-fund manager's success can hinge on avoiding the losers as much as--if not more than--picking the winners.
As a result, the group is collectively cautious about non-investment-grade corporate bonds. For starters, although prices on lower-quality bonds have taken a hit over the past year, they still don't look terribly cheap by historical measures. All three are holding below-average stakes in their respective funds, and Fuss in particular holds less than 10% in lower-quality corporates in Loomis Sayles Bond
The Next Wall of Worry
Should we be worried about inflation? Once again, three heads nod in unison. Buying Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities may seem like an intuitive way to combat the deleterious effects of inflation, but this group unanimously begs to differ. TIPS have enjoyed a splendid rally over the past year, and as a result, the low yields they currently offer just don't look compelling to this crew next to other options. As Young reminds us, TIPS are also highly sensitive to rising interest rates, and they've already started to feel some pain as Treasury rates have notched up recently.
Of course, the best way to beat inflation is to out-return it. Sounds easy enough, right? If that were the case, there might be more agreement among these managers about how to accomplish that goal. But while they're all somewhat optimistic it can be done, they deviate from one another in the details. Young, for instance, currently finds the sovereign debt of the G7 nations (excluding the U.S.) compelling, since he thinks the European Central Bank is doggedly committed to fighting inflation, and these bonds could benefit from a price pop if the ECB backs up that intent with meaningful policy action. By contrast, he's slightly underweight emerging-markets bonds in his charge, Fidelity Strategic Income
Mewbourne falls at the other end of the spectrum. He sees the best opportunities in developing markets, specifically corporate debt from firms that PIMCO has dubbed "global market champions," meaning large, fast-growing companies based in the developing world that have become formidable players on the global stage. Brazilian iron ore giant Vale
For his part, Fuss occupies the middle ground between these two. Unlike Young, he's not confident the ECB will make smart policy choices. And although he agrees with the PIMCO team that changing economic dynamics worldwide make it increasingly important to scour the globe for opportunities, he admits that he's concerned about the quality of information available to bond investors looking to stake claims in companies based in developing markets. As investors gain a better grasp of the risks of these fledgling firms, he argues that it's important to stay broadly diversified.
It remains to be seen how these individual bets will pan out, but we wouldn't be alarmed by these differing viewpoints. When it comes to bond investing, there's often more than one avenue to achieving the same end. One thing is clear, though: Investing abroad has helped keep many bond funds out of hot water over the past year, and these managers, backed by deep, resourceful teams, think that story's far from over. But as PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian pointed out in the conference's opening keynote address, the shifting global economic picture comes with new risks that create the potential for bumps in the road. Or as Fuss puts it--while the current setting comes packed with opportunities--a little patience is required.

Dianetic Processing: a Brief Survey of Research Projects and Preliminary Results | Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation | 1951 | Download as .pdf (Click the grey 'download through your browser' button in new tab)
After L Ron Hubbard's first article about dianetics in the May 1950 article of "Astounding Science Fiction" people and organisations started asking for evidence for the claims he had made regarding 'dianetic therapy'. They included:
- Members of the American Psychological Association (on September the 9th 1950, in the New York Times)
- John W Campbell, the editor of "Astounding Science Fiction" and Hubbard's most effective supporter and promoter, who was assured by Hubbard that evidence would be published in January 1951
- Science fiction fans and authors
One year after the first article about dianetics in "Astounding" (the iconic May1950 issue) another SF pulp magazine, "Marvel Science Stories", published an 'debate' assessing dianetics. They followed this article up in August 1951 by publishing reader's letters on the subject.
The letters to "Marvel" included on by Lew Cunningham MD of the Department of Anatomy at Stanford University. He mentions receiving a copy of a pamphlet which sounds very much like this publication. Cunningham speculated that Hubbard wanted to get doctors on board the dianetics bandwagon, and thought this pamphlet would do the trick.
Unfortunately for dianetics, Cunningham judged that neither Hubbard, nor those who wrote for the Dianetic Foundation, know enough about medicine or science to realise how inadequate their submission actually was. In his letter, Cunningham effectively demolishes its credibility.
With a little help from Dr Cunningham's lettert in"Marvel", we will now closely examine the pamphlet which Hubbard apparently published in January1951, and presented as evidence for his claims regarding dianetics.

With the NCAA tournament approaching, it won't be long before we begin to receive reports on college underclassmen declaring their intent to enter this year's NBA draft. One player who may leave school early is Louisville junior Gorgui Dieng, who I profiled back in December. As Jeff Goodman of CBSSports.com reports, Louisville coach Rick Pitino is nearly certain that Dieng will enter this June's draft class.
"If he is projected as a first-rounder, he is leaving," Pitino said. "And I'm almost sure he'll be taken in the first round."
Here are a few more Wednesday afternoon odds and ends:
- "Every indication" is that if Andre Iguodala opts out of his contract this season, he'll do so to lock up a long-term deal with the Nuggets, according to Scott Howard-Cooper of NBA.com. Iguodala has a 2013/14 player option worth about $16.15MM.
- Count George Karl among those who is hoping the Kings remain in Sacramento, as Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee writes. "I think everybody knows I'm a Seattle guy and I want basketball back in Seattle, but I don't want basketball out of Sacramento," the Nuggets coach said. "It's a politically correct answer, but it's a truthful answer on how I feel."
- Dwight Howard told reporters, including Dave McMenamin of ESPNLosAngeles.com, that he'd thought "plenty of times" about how the season may have played out if he hadn't returned from back surgery so quickly. However, Howard doesn't regret his decision to come back early. D12 also mentioned that he has received encouragement from Phil Jackson via text messages.
- Ian Thomsen of SI.com ranks the top ten most powerful people in the NBA, with David Stern beating out LeBron James for the No. 1 spot.
- The Rio Grande Valley Vipers (the Rockets' D-League affiliate) have acquired D.J. Kennedy in a five-player trade, as Keith Schlosser of Ridiculous Upside details. Kennedy, who had a brief NBA stint at the end of last season with the Cavaliers, had been having an excellent year for the Erie BayHawks, averaging 18.8 PPG, 8.3 RPG, and 5.5 APG.
- ESPN.com's Chad Ford fielded exclusively draft-related questions in his usual Wednesday chat.

In which name-dropping is had.
Everything that can be out is out. I haven't heard back from anybody, but this is the sort of morning that I wake up in such a fine, fine mood that I'm not sure I'm too worried.
I think I'm abandoning the pig story for now. It isn't working for me, I don't think I'm writing in the right direction for that anthology, and three brilliant markets that I do want to write for have popped up in the last four days. I've taken it as a sign, dropped my few thousand words off into my "unfinished things that could be brilliant eventually" folder, and moved on.
Had a hilarious conversation a few days ago with John C. Hay about an idea he had, and how it really needs to be a screenplay. With a terrible, terrible sequel. Have refused outright to help him, which probably means I'll be the first one he calls if this thing ever comes up on his list. Gods help me.
Oh, and I got to meet Catherynne M. Valente. I need to blog this, but have failed utterly to plug my camera in to pull photos from the Palimpsest shindig.
Right. Off to find trousers for a bit of day job action, and then who knows what this afternoon. Geekery afoot this evening.

LONDON (Mar. 2)
In a statement in Cairo today upon his arrival from the U.S. Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Emir Feisal said that President Truman had told him that the U.S. Government would adopt a neutral attitude when the Palestine issue comes before the U.N., according to a broadcast tonight on the BBC.
The British press waxed indignant today over the current outbreaks in Palestine. The London Daily Express typified the reaction in a four-column editorial which charged that the "murder campaign" was being financed by other lands and added that "American supporters are boasting of the support they give but refuse to share the responsibility." It said that the terrorism is senseless since the issue has been put before the U.N. and urges that Britain get out of "the once Holy Land and leave it to its unholy inhabitants."

The Sandy Bridge Review: Intel Core i7-2600K, i5-2500K and Core i3-2100 Testedby Anand Lal Shimpi on January 3, 2011 12:01 AM EST
Overclocking Intel's HD Graphics
The base clock of both Intel's HD Graphics 2000 and 3000 on desktop SKUs is 850MHz. Thankfully, Intel's 32nm process allows for much headroom in both the CPU and GPU for overclocking. There are no clock locks or K-series parts to worry about when it comes to GPU overclocking; everything is unlocked. I started by trying to see how far I could push the Core i3-2100's HD Graphics 2000.
While I could get into Windows and run games at up to 1.6GHz, I needed to back down to 1.4GHz to maintain stability across all of our tests. That's a 64.7% overclock:
In some cases (Civilization V, WoW, Dawn of War II), the overclocked HD Graphics 2000 was enough to bring the 6 EU part close to the performance of the 3000 model. For the most part however the overclock just helped the Core i3-2100 perform halfway between it and the Core i5-2500K.
I tried the same experiment with the Core i5-2500K. While there's no chance it could catch up to a Radeon HD 5570, I managed to overclock my 2500K to 1.55GHz (the GPU clock can be adjusted in 50MHz increments):
The 82.4% increase in clock speed resulted in anywhere from a 0.6% to 33.7% increase in performance. While that's not terrible, it's also not that great. It looks like we're fairly memory bandwidth constrained here.

dananski - Thursday, January 06, 2011 - linkGames are usually limited in fps by the level of graphics, so processor speed doesn't make much of a difference unless you turn the graphics detail right down and use an overkill graphics card. As the point of this page was to review the CPU power, it's more representative to use low resolutions so that the CPU is the limiting factor.
If you did this set of charts for gaming at 2560x1600 with full AA & max quality, all the processors would be stuck at about the same rate because the graphics card is the limiting factor.
I expect Civ 5 would be an exception to this because it has really counter-intuitive performance. Reply
omelet - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkFor almost any game, the resolution will not affect the stress on the CPU. It is no harder for a CPU to play the game at 2560x1600 than it is to play at 1024x768, so to ensure that the benchmark is CPU-limited, low resolutions are chosen.
For instance, the i5 2500k gets ~65fps in the Starcraft test, which is run at 1024x768. The i5 2500k would also be capable of ~65fps at 2560x1600, but your graphics card might not be at that resolution.
Since this is a review for a CPU, not for graphics cards, the lower resolution is used, so we know what the limitation is for just the CPU. If you want to know what resolution you can play at, look at graphics card reviews. Reply
Tom - Sunday, January 30, 2011 - linkWhich is why the tests have limited real world value. Skewing the tests to maximize the cpu differences makes new cpus look impressive, but it doesn't show the reality that the new cpu isn't needed in the real world for most games. Reply
Oyster - Monday, January 03, 2011 - linkMaybe I missed this in the review, Anand, but can you please confirm that SB and SB-E will require quad-channel memory? Additionally, will it be possible to run dual-channel memory on these new motherboards? I guess I want to save money because I already have 8GB of dual-channel RAM :).
Thanks for the great review! Reply
CharonPDX - Monday, January 03, 2011 - linkYou can confirm it from the photos of it only using two DIMMs in photo. Reply
JumpingJack - Monday, January 03, 2011 - linkThis has been discussed in great detail. The i7, i3, and i5 2XXX series is dual channel. The rumor mill is abound with SB-E having quad channel, but I don't recall seen anything official from Intel on this point. Reply
8steve8 - Monday, January 03, 2011 - linkthe K processors have the much better IGP and a variable multiplier, but to use the improved IGP you need an H67 chipset, which doesn't support changing the multiplier? Reply
ViRGE - Monday, January 03, 2011 - linkCPU Multiplier: Yes, H67 cannot change the CPU multiplier
GPU Multiplier: No, even H67 can change the GPU multiplier Reply
mczak - Monday, January 03, 2011 - linkI wonder why though? Is this just officially? I can't really see a good technical reason why CPU OC would work with P67 but not H67 - it is just turbo going up some more steps after all. Maybe board manufacturers can find a way around that?
Or is this not really linked to the chipset but rather if the IGP is enabled (which after all also is linked to turbo)? Reply
Rick83 - Monday, January 03, 2011 - linkI just checked the manual to MSI's 7676 Mainboard (high-end H67) and it lists cpu core multiplier in the bios (page 3-7 of the manual, only limitation mentioned is that of CPU support), with nothing grayed out and overclockability a feature. As this is the 1.1 Version, I think someone misunderstood something....
Unless MSI has messed up its Manual after all and just reused the P67 Manual.... Still, the focus on over-clocking would be most ridiculous. Reply

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Singapore, Singapore, 2008/04/30 - Despite being in the embryonic stage, the biometrics market in Asia is expected to receive substantial boost from key government applications.
Various countries have shown keen interest in the National ID projects for citizen identification and the e-Passport program, wherein fingerprint and facial biometrics are integrated with the smart card.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (autoID.frost.com), Strategic Assessment of Key Comparisons among the various Biometric Identification Methods in the Asia Pacific Markets, finds that there is immense opportunity for smart cards in the untapped markets of Asia. The early signs of acceptance of the new technology are quite encouraging for smart card participants. System integrators have realized the need for proper planning and coordination in order to increase the market revenues.
"National ID projects such as the Mykad of Malaysia already have biometrics implemented on the card," says Frost & Sullivan Senior Research Analyst Navin Rajendra. "Future projects including the Indian and Chinese national IDs and the Japanese card are also preparing for the deployment of biometric-enabled national ID cards."
While National ID and e-Passport are expected to be the mainstay applications of the biometrics market, fingerprint identification will continue to be the dominant mode of biometric identification in most markets. However, there will be more coverage and wider use of other biometric methods as well even for individual applications.
"This is partly because certain biometric methods such as fingerprint identification are often associated with criminal detection," notes Rajendra. "As a result, markets such as Japan and South Korea are averse to the use of fingerprint biometrics and are increasingly adopting non-intrusive methods of user identification in spite of their higher costs."
The expansion and large-scale implementation of a number of biometric projects will compel manufacturers to focus on standardization. Once this technology becomes ubiquitous, users will become more comfortable with the biometrics system.
Biometrics scores over traditional technology due to its greater speed and accuracy of authentication. Moreover, it can offer several layers of security (iris scan, fingerprint scan) depending on the severity of the perceived threat. In fact, multi-modal biometric systems offer more than one level of user authentication for extremely sensitive applications.
Biometrics also eliminates the need to remember passwords and carry external keys. This reduces the chance of forgeries and thereby, lowers time and money losses.
If you are interested in a virtual brochure, which provides manufacturers, end users, and other industry participants with key comparisons of biometric identification methods in Asia Pacific markets, then send an email to Donna Jeremiah, Corporate Communications, at djeremiah[.]frost.com, with your full name, company name, title, telephone number, company email address, company website, city, state and country. Upon receipt of the above information, an overview will be sent to you by email.
Strategic Assessment of Key Comparisons among the various Biometric Identification Methods in the Asia Pacific Markets is part of the Automatic Identification & Security Growth Partnership Service program, which also includes research in the following markets: Biometrics Market in Asia Pacific, APAC Integrated Smart Cards and Biometrics Market and APAC Smart Card Outlook in 2008. All research services included in subscriptions provide detailed market opportunities and industry trends that have been evaluated following extensive interviews with market participants. Interviews with the press are available.

Press Releases
San Diego, CA, May 3, 2013- Postmenopausal women who increase their physical activity may reduce their risk of kidney stones, according to a new study at the 108th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA). The study will be presented to the media during a special press conference on Saturday, May 4 at 11:30 a.m. at the San Diego Convention Center.
Kidney stones are a significant health concern with more than three million people visiting a health care provider and more than half a million visiting emergency rooms each year. While obesity is known to be a strong risk factor for kidney stone development, the role of physical activity and dietary energy intake in lowering this risk remains inadequately understood. Researchers from several leading institutions including University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, Georgetown University and University of Washington School of Medicine, conducted a study designed to evaluate the relationship between kidney stone formation and physical activity, dietary energy intake and body mass index (BMI).
Researchers used data from the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study and identified 85,225 postmenopausal women as participants. Adjusting for age, race, region, and dietary water, sodium, animal protein and calcium intake, data suggests:
- Greater physical activity may reduce the risk of kidney stones in postmenopausal women by as much as 31 percent.
- The amount of physical activity, rather than the intensity of the exercise is a key factor to the decrease of kidney stone risk in postmenopausal.
- Modifying total daily caloric intake may be an important measure in the reduction of stone disease as higher dietary energy intake (high caloric foods) may increase the risk of developing stones by more than 40 percent.
"Kidney stones are a very common health condition, and as with most health conditions, prevention is key," said AUA spokesperson Kevin T. McVary, MD. "While we know diet is one of several factors that can promote or inhibit kidney stone development, this study shows lifestyle changes such as exercise can also help prevent stones from forming in postmenopausal women. Further research is needed to understand if this observation is accurate for other demographics."
NOTE TO REPORTERS: Experts are available to discuss this study outside normal briefing times. To arrange an interview with an expert, please contact the AUA Communications Office at the number above or e-mail email@example.com.
About the American Urological Association: Founded in 1902 and headquartered near Baltimore, Maryland, the American Urological Association is a leading advocate for the specialty of urology, and has more than 19,000 members throughout the world. The AUA is a premier urologic association, providing invaluable support to the urologic community as it pursues its mission of fostering the highest standards of urologic care through education, research and the formulation of health policy.

The campaign is a follow up to the award-winning Carousel and touts Philips TVs with "Ambilight" technology. The theme of the campaign: " "There are millions of ways to tell a story. There's only one way to watch one." The agency challenged directors from RSA to submit film ideas around a few lines of dialogue. Five directors were chosen and all five films revolve around the same dialogue. The films include Jake Scott's The Hunt, Johnny Hardstaff's Darkroom, Greg Fay's El Secreto de Mateo, Hi-Sim's Jun & The Hidden Skies and Carl Erik Rinsch's The Gift, shown here. Since the campaign teaser debuted in late February, viewers could follow Parallel Lines on Facebook, with fans getting additional content like behind the scenes footage, and watch the films on YouTube. The YouTube channel will also host a CGC component, with aspiring filmmakers challenged to create a sixth Parallel Lines film based on the same dialogue used in the previous five films. Films will be judged by the public and by RSA founder Ridley Scott and the winner gets to work for RSA for a week. Rate this Ad You must be registered to rate the ad.

The Wall Street Journal conducted a comprehensive study that assesses and analyzes the broad array of cookies and other surveillance technology that companies are deploying on Internet users. It reveals that the tracking of consumers has grown both far more pervasive and far more intrusive than is realized by all but a handful of people in the vanguard of the industry. The study found that the nation's 50 top websites on average installed 64 pieces of tracking technology onto the computers of visitors, usually with no warning. A dozen sites each installed more than a hundred.

Free Electric India Pilot
August 2016 Update
Solving water problems will impact humanity in the most significant way. From drought-stricken regions to contaminated aquifers to areas affected by natural disaster, water issues affect both rich and poor alike. The availability of abundant fresh water is not only the foundation of life, livelihood, and health but is also necessary for global economic and political stability. Our Rain Maker invention can help provide clean water for drinking, farming, sanitation, and industrial uses.
Lack of electricity has kept nearly three billion people in poverty by putting education, livelihood, and basic necessities out of reach. Meanwhile, the rest of the world's reliance on fossil fuels has resulted in deleterious health, environmental, and economic effects. We need viable clean energy solutions to ensure the health and wellbeing of all people, as well as the planet. The Hans Free Electric™ bike and Limitless Energy are two of our ideas for providing clean energy to people around the world.
The current approach to healthcare is inadequate because it focuses on treating illness. A more sensible approach is to focus on preventing illness by enhancing wellness. Technologies that help prevent illness exist, such as our Renew ECP apparatus, but they need to be implemented. And they need to be implemented for the benefit of everyone – rich and poor – and free from profit seekers and government red tape.

I Scream, You Scream
I've been feeling my inner raving lunatic coming on for months now—haven't you?—and I found the most delightful outlet for it just last Wednesday: sitting atop a banquette in a meeting room at a Coco'sin Mission Viejo, I screamed at a bunch of ancient South County Democrats(and waved my arms around like Hitler)until each and every one of them rolled over to let me scratch his or her soft, padded underbelly. Who'syour alpha male? I'myour alpha male!
And oh, how they loved it.
They thought it was hilariouswhen I explained to them that I had thoughtthey were beautiful (despite the fact that they are terribly old),but I had changed my mind since all they wanted to do was ask my colleague JimWashburnquestion after question—positively bathingthemselves in Jim's profundities—while I sat there, pretty and petite, and hadn't even given my goddamn speech yet! That's right! They weren't so beautiful after all! Nor was I too pleased to be there!
"Why are you asking himall the questions?" I shrieked at them. "Is it because he's aman?!"

Yes, I wasPMSing, thank you, and I'm freaking happy to say so!
Let's see you try to menstruate, Washburn! Go ahead! I'llwait.
I told them, further, that they better try not to sound crazy when they're talking to their neighbors, because they dosound crazy and theydamnwellknowit!
Really, I was terrific. Jim was good too.
"Please, Rebecca," said lesanciens,rolling and snuffling in masochistic glee, "may we have some more?"
Then we had us some faith healings, and, as always, I closed with a little soft-shoe.
Jazz hands!
* * *
Except I also talked (yelled and berated, really) about a lot of other shit as well, and considering I was just a tiny bit drunk (not my fault, since I'd been to a very fancy art opening, where I was discreetly adored by very old and very famous artists, until just moments previous), I had just a masterful command of my facts, if not so much my syntax. FACT: The 44 U.S. senators representing Blue states represent 9 million more "folks" than the 55 U.S. senators representing Red states. So every time some asshole starts piously intoning about Senate Democrats obstructing the will of the people (although no one seems to be weeping hot salty tears for the will of the people who elected the Senate Democrats!), well, wouldn't it be nice if we could kill him?
Oooh, sorry. That's something Texas Republican SenatorJohnCornynwould say, and I apologize! I really do! See, calling for someone's death (I mean besides retired Baltimore Raven Anthony Siragusa, but I didn't so much call for his imminentdeath as for him to die "lonely and alone," presumably at some far off, and therefore even more depressing since he'd then be old, date) is something even I would consider beyond the pale. Did Cornyn apologize for stating during the Schiavofeeding frenzy (get it?) that violence against judges was understandable? Not so much, to my knowledge. Did KarlRoveapologize for just last week accusing Democrats of committing treason? No, and he never the fuck will—and for all the people demanding that he apologize? Stop it! Your oversensitive pussy is showing!
Hey, did y'all hear this week when Republican SenatorRick"ManonDog"Santorumsaid the CatholicChurchmolestation scandal epicentered in Boston because Boston was a center of liberalism? Dude, liberals are totallychild molesters—just ask Scott Ritter, the UN weapons inspector whose report that said Iraqhad no WMDwas derided by folks in the administration who smeared him as—you guessed it!—a child molester.
We're batshit? No, you'rebatshit, you batshit motherfuckers!
To prove it, here's a post from FreeRepublic.comhypothesizing eloquently on who will replace SandraDayO'Connoron the SupremeCourt(for my money? It'll be Hitler!). And when Sandra Day O'Connor is considered the Civilized One by the left, we're in for happy, happy pain time. Oh, so let's look at what the batshit say:
* * *
But Democrats lately have been apologizing for just anything they could find. Like GovernorSchwarzeneggerhaving to turn to other candidates' promises since he'd run out of his own to break, the Dems lately have taken to apologizing for other people's sins. And, really, I'm starting to get a wee bit pissed.
Illinois Senator DickDurbinlast month came in for a rash of shit because he said the way we were treating prisoners at Guantanamowas un-American. He compared it to some really bad dudes, like PolPotand—yes—Hitler, to show just how un-American it is to detain people without access to lawyers and—oh, yeah—hang some from wires and beat others until they were dead.
After a couple of weeks of FOXNewsand some unholy Democrats (proving just how "moderate" they could be by disavowing him the way the Dems denied MichaelMooreand, while we're at it, Peterdenied Christ) beating the holy hell out of him for saying the H word when, damn it (and these were their true examples of the U.S.'s beneficence in the matter), we give them meals and they get to serve their detention in the tropics (although I believe John McCain's palatial suite in the Hanoi Hiltonwas tropical, too, no?), well, Durbin apologized.
But you know who never backs down? The South County Democrats know. Howard Dean, onetime presidential candidate and current head of the Democratic National Committee. Motherfucker never stands down, no matter how much faux angst is wept by pundits accusing him of being batshit and out of line. Oh, I'm sorry. Did Howard Dean say that the Republican Party is pretty much exclusively white and Christian? Well, tear my hair! Let's see: Whatgot avoided on the news that week because Howard Dean said the GOP was white and Christian? (And by the way, I'd like to see what happened if you accused one of them of being a Mexican Jew.) Oh. Huh. Well, that same week, the extremelycontroversial JaniceRogersBrowngot her ass into a lifetime seat on the D.C.CircuitCourtofAppeals.The Senate voted for further PATRIOTActpolice powers.
Nothing to see here, folks.
Oh, right: and people were starting to have to workto avoid the Downing Street Memo.
Enter Howard Dean!
And so I told the sweetling old folks at the South County Dems meeting—and I'm telling your ass now—send the man money!
Send him $5, $20, $500, or some Monopolymoney with a cheery little note.
Or, you know, just go have a drink and scream at people on the way.
You're mad as hell, and you're not going to take it anymore, remember?
Um, you know: yargh.

We've hit another major milestone in our household. Bug (my daughter) has attended and survived her first slumber party (sigh!!!). When the slumber party was first mentioned, I had no doubt that Bug would want to go and wouldn't have any problems staying away from me.
Since a very early age, Bug has stayed away from me several times. Most of her visits have been to grandparent's houses; it wasn't until last October that Bug stayed with her best-friend. With it being her first sleepover, I expected a phone call in the middle of the night, but it never came!
Bug's first slumber party was graciously hosted by my Pastor's wife, Sharon. She invited Bug and 3 other friends. When I received the invitation, I thought Sharon was crazy (a four-year-old, 2- five-year-olds, and a six-year-old)! All I could think was…yikes; glad it is you and not me!
The girls were so excited about the sleepover and were literally counting down the days.
Here is a picture of when they all first arrived. Look at all of those smiles and giggles. They were excited to be the "big girls" for the night.
When I dropped Bug off, I didn't get much of a "good-bye". Sharon also informed me that she doesn't send kids home in the middle of the night unless they are sick (sounds good to me). I want Bug to feel comfortable and secure when she stays with other people and not always dependent on mom and dad (hello…my independent child)!
Needless to say, I didn't get a phone call in the middle of the night, but did get a ton of fun pictures. Sharon had soooo many activities planned for the girls! Honestly, I was afraid Bug wouldn't want to come home! A trip to the park, a pizza picnic, a princess tea party, a dance party, a movie, and a special treat to take home! Can I come to the next sleep over?!?!
Here a few snapshots from the night!
Many moms get sad about their kids growing up, but I don't. My mentality is every age has something new and exciting; I don't want to dwell on the past (which has its own sweet memories) but look forward to the future. It is exciting for Bug to experience new things, like a slumber party. I loved slumber parties growing up and have so many sweet memories from them. I am excited that Bug is making similar memories and will be able to cherish this fun time with friends!
I am sure this will be the first of many slumber parties!! Thanks to Nana Sharon for hosting Bug's first one and documenting it perfectly! This memory that will definitely stick with Bug!

No. 1 seed Braden River advanced with a 25-14, 25-20, 25-12 sweep of No. 4 seed Osceola at home a day after the Warriors advanced to the semifinal with a thrilling five-game win against Lakewood Ranch.
"They did such a good job the day before against Lakewood Ranch," Osceola coach Michele Copello said. "I expected the momentum to carry over to Braden River."
Braden River built big leads in Game 1 and Game 3, and Osceola had trouble keeping up. The Warriors held close to the Pirates in Game 2 before losing late.
