The Tampa Bay Lightning remain undefeated at home after their 5-2 victory over the Florida Panthers Tuesday night. Steven Stamkos got things going early for the Bolts in the first period with his fourth goal of the season. After the Panthers' Peter Mueller tied it 15 seconds later, rookie Cory Conacher put the Lightning back out in front. Victor Hedman passed the puck from the Florida blue line to Conacher as he raced into the offensive zone and beat Panthers goalie Jose Theodore, putting the Bolts up 2-1. "It was a great play by Hedman to find me in the middle there," Conacher said about his goal after the game. "Luckily I had enough gas in my legs to just beat Weaver." The Lightning would not look back from there as they scored three unanswered goals over the next two periods. One of them being a one-timer from captain Vincent Lecavalier in the third period during a power play. Tampa Bay goaltender Anders Lindback stopped 26 of 28 shots. Lightning were 2/5 on the power play and out-shot the Panthers 33-28. The Lightning have scored five or more goals for the third straight game and lead the NHL with 28 goals. They are now 5-1-0 on the season. (Photo credit: AP) The post Panthers are no match for the Lightning at home appeared first on The Bay Cave.

Do Bank of America and Wells Fargo Run Vermont's Capitol City?

This article originally appeared on Reader Supported News, and is reprinted here with their permission.
"To repeat myself ad nauseum, I still don't see how our city's chief economic development officer can hold and promote views that are fundamentally anti-capitalist in nature."
— March 19, 2013, email from the Montpelier mayor to the city manager
When a city employee promotes a point of view that happens to center on an aspect of populist economics that seeks to serve the public good, and the democratically-elected mayor of that city has an opposing ideology that he'd rather not debate openly, why would anyone expect the resolution of this conflict to be anything but ugly?
That describes the often-covert, year-long struggle by minions of the private banking industry in 2013 to strangle the nascent idea of a Public Bank for Vermont in its cradle before the public might begin to admire it and help it grow.
In this preliminary outline of the circumstances that appear to have culminated in a process so blatantly unfair as to be laughable if it were in a movie, the three main actors all worked for the City of Montpelier:
John Hollar, the mayor of Vermont's capitol, Montpelier (population about 8,000), is an attorney in the Montpelier office of Downs Rachlin Martin, one of the state's more prominent law firms, for which he is a registered lobbyist with some thirty years of lobbying experience. His clients include Bank of America and Wells Fargo. In March 2012, he ran unopposed and was elected in a citywide vote as mayor of Montpelier, a part-time position paying $4,000 a year.
William J. "Rusty" Fraser has been Montpelier's city manager since 1995, longer than any city manager before him. He has cultivated a reputation for political and ideological neutrality. He has also cultivated his music since he was about 10 years old and in recent years has performed with his band Rusty Romance, playing " roots'n'roll" around the Montpelier region. The band now appears to be moribund.
Gwendolyn Hallsmith published "The Key to Sustainable Cities: Meeting Human Needs, Transforming Community Systems" in September 2003. She was serving as executive director of Global Community Initiatives, a small 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, when she went to work for the City of Montpelier as the Director of Planning and Community Development. Her hiring letter of Oct. 11, 2006, makes specific allowance for her activity with Global Community Initiatives, which she founded, and other organizations, as well as her attendance at related conferences at city expense.
Vermont's Reputation for Having a Green Streak was Justified
In 2001, the Montpelier City Council endorsed the Earth Charter, which defines itself as "a universal expression of ethical principles to foster sustainable development." Montpelier was the first state capitol to endorse principles that might appear anti-capitalist in nature, as expressed in the Earth Charter preamble:
"We stand at a critical moment in Earth's history, a time when humanity must choose its future. As the world becomes increasingly interdependent and fragile, the future at once holds great peril and great promise. To move forward we must recognize that in the midst of a magnificent diversity of cultures and life forms we are one human family and one Earth community with a common destiny. We must join together to bring forth a sustainable global society founded on respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace. Towards this end, it is imperative that we, the peoples of Earth, declare our responsibility to one another, to the greater community of life, and to future generations."

Amongst other things, we tackle Writers Block, talk about 2-Pac & Soundgarden, lyric-writing and of course their soon-to-be-released EP "Organs. I also had the privilege of getting Evan to perform some exclusive "acoustic" versions of "I'd Be Yours" & "Colours"

Danville chief's lawyer files to dismiss negligent firearms charge
Alan Cronheim has filed a motion in the Salem Circuit Court seeking to toss the negligent storage of a firearm charge filed in the wake of 15-year-old Jacob Carver's death inside the chief's Danville home on March 11, 2013.
Cronheim, an attorney for Sisti Law Offices, argues the state law used to bring the violation-level offense doesn't apply in this case because the death resulted from a suicide.
In this case, Cronheim maintains that law can't be used because the state Medical Examiner's Office ruled Carver's death a suicide following an autopsy.
The Legislature, in writing the law, "declined to have the statute applied to circumstances where a child obtains a firearm and chooses to knowingly or purposely discharge the firearm. In making this determination, the Legislature reasonably and understandably defined the statute so as to avoid penalizing an individual for a circumstance where a child chooses to knowingly or purposely discharge a firearm in a circumstance where the owner of the firearm has not given permission to the child to use the weapon," the motion said.
"While some supporters of the legislation referenced suicide, there is an absence of discussion by them of the statutory terms included in the legislation," he wrote.
Parsons has remained on the job despite the case and has received the support of selectmen, who insisted that Parsons shouldn't be held responsible for Carver's death.

A Berks County teacher and water polo coach, who's accused of having inappropriate sexual contact with two girls, is in even more hot water.
Jonathan Bell faces six more counts, including sexual assault and involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, the Pennsylvania attorney general's office said.
Officials aren't giving many details about the new charges.
Bell, 31, of Wyomissing, was an art teacher in the Exeter Township School District and a boys swimming coach in the Governor Mifflin School District.
Bell had sexual contact with a 15-year-old girl, who was a student of his, and a 17-year-old girl he was coaching, officials said.
Including Monday's charges, investigators have now identified four alleged victims.
Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Chief County Detective Michael Gombar of the Berks County district attorney's office at 610-478-7171.

Tech News & Commentary
By PATRICK SEITZ
Posted 01/21/2014 07:09 PM ET
Some tech industry heavyweights took to Twitter on Monday to vent their frustration with the user-unfriendly state of television in the broadband Internet age. The conversation pointed out the conflicts between the freedom to chose that users crave and the content gatekeepers who are reluctant to change from business as usual.
BTIG analyst Richard Greenfield documented the Twitter conversation in a blog post Tuesday.
It started when Jason Hirschhorn, CEO of Redef, complained about the cost of cable and what he received in return.
Thinkstock View Enlarged Image
"It's amazing to me that I pay a cable company $250/month and I can't view all the content anywhere at any time. Are they nuts?" he tweeted.
Marc Andreessen, co-founder of venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, chimed in about his frustrating experiences with an unnamed pay-TV service.
"I just got the new high-end thing from one of the big guys. Wanted to catch a network show I missed from prior week," he wrote. "Luckily it was in VOD (video on demand) but with only two other old episodes; all others unavailable. Then I discovered when replaying it that commercials are unskippable in VOD."
Having to sit through commercials in the age of video on demand is bad enough, but Andreessen said things got worse.
"I paused halfway through for a break. Came back and accidentally started episode over. Tried to fast-forward to catch up. Denied! Fast-forward disabled for VOD," Andreessen wrote.
Andreessen said he gave up on the device from the multichannel video programming distributor (MVPD) and switched over to his Apple (AAPL) TV set-top box.
Chris McCoy, founder of YourSports, added that "where goes live sports" like Walt Disney's (DIS) ESPN, so goes the "future of the cable cartel. Sports not going anywhere for a while."
Walter Delph, CEO of Adly, said he appreciated Hirschhorn and others for raising awareness of the situation. However, the possible acquisition of Time Warner Cable (TWC) by Charter Communications (CHTR) or Comcast (CMCSA) "will most likely slow, not jump-start, innovation" in the industry, he said.
The reason cable and satellite offerings are so restrictive is because their agreements with programmers and content owners take precedent over the consumer experience, Greenfield said.
Consumers may want to unbundle programming and pay for just the channels and TV shows that they watch, but the MVPD industry is not about to abandon a business model that has served it well.
Industry incumbents have been resisting change on many fronts. They are fighting commercial-skipping technology, such as that offered by Dish Network (DISH), and a cloud-based DVR for free, over-the-air TV provided by upstart Aereo.

I can not believe this show is even airing. This is such a ripoff of Whose Line is it Anyway. Don't even mention the announcer.. (some guy who thinks he is funny but is obviously not.) Also, why didn't they choose kids with a sense of humor to be the contestants on this show? These kids are average joes who just make idiots out of themselves while tryng to be funny. The shows editors arent even adding laugh tracks. This show is a waste. If you take a look at kids shows that were aired 10 years ago, they were much higher quality in entertainment value, all of these new shows are cheap and not humorous at all. This show should be burned and the ashes should be destroyed as well.
The Munsters Today (1987)
Great show, but not as great as the original. B+
The Munsters Today, featuring an all new cast, was a great show. In the beginning, it was based on situations much like the original 1960s series but later started using its own style. Grandpa is still blowing up the lab, and Marilyn is still "the ugly one". It shows the family going about their daily lives. Herman goes to the funeral parlor every morning, Eddie and Marilyn go to school, Lily stays home and cooks and cleans, and Grandpa expirements in his lab. After the second season, the show settled down from basing itself on the original show and the plot started to change. Eddie became a 16 year old teenager who enjoys his MTV, dirty jeans, and tshirts. Eddie isn't the only one to change, Marilyn is finally getting dates and is starting to get into the fashion industry. Although the show did have its own scripts, there have been a few "remake" episodes of the original series such as "Just Another Pretty Face" where Herman is transformed into a normal looking human. and "Designing Munsters" where Lily gets a job. The show also had a few faults. The original 60s sitcom was filmed rather than video taped. The set was also very elaborate, separate from being on a low-cost rented set. The actors can never measure up to the original cast, but they still do a very good job of imitating the roles the original actors created. If you can ever find someone with tapes of The Munsters Today, I suggest you ask for a copy so you can see for yourself what a great show that was.
The ABC Saturday Superstar Movie: The Mini-Munsters (1973)
I rate it B-
If you're a munsters collector, this is the perfect addition to your collection. This very rare pilot has only been aired once in 1973 on ABC as one of their Saturday Morning cartoon specials. Herman, Eddie, Grandpa, and Lily are informed that Igor and Lucretia (their cousins) are coming to the United States for a visit from Transylvania. Eddie is at the age where he is starting his own band and when Igor and Lucretia arrive, they help out. After a while, Herman, Grandpa, and Lily are getting a bit tired of the constant music at the house and Herman promises Eddie a car to drive to the school to practice his music there. As a new invention, Grandpa has designed a machine that will not let Eddie drive too fast. As a result, Eddies car is run on Music. A new business that has just come into town selling their own brand of gas is upset with this and is out to destroy the Munsters and their music machine. Soon, the whole city is using Grandpa's invention. The new gas company has planned to steal spot for ransom to get the music machine. The leaders of the company destroy Grandpa's machine and the family gets their pet back. As soon as they get home, Grandpa starts to rebuild the machine. To make a long story short, the machine gets rebuilt, the family is back together, and the show is over. What makes this cartoon enjoyable to watch is knowing that it has only been on tv once a very long time ago, and that it is very rare. For an unknown reason, Marilyn Munster does not appear in this. Please feel free to email me if you have any other questions.

Apollo Brown - Reputation
Artist: Apollo Brown
Featuring: Guilty Simpson
Producer: Apollo Brown
Album: Dice Game
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 13 votes )
When it comes to hard-hitting underground hip-hop, Apollo Brown and Guilty Simpson's respective Reputations precede them—and a merger of two such established brands is practically guaranteed to produce dope results. Having given listeners a foretaste of their collaborative debut via lead single Truth Be Told, the duo return to our pages with another freshly-released record off the project. In contrast to its reflective predecessor, this cut is a raw, grimy, declaration of hometown pride, with Brown flipping a sample from The Temptations' Let Your Hair Down into an ominous groove as Simpson drops aggressive bars dedicated to the Motor City. Craving more? Then click here to purchase the duo's Dice Game LP, released to iTunes yesterday via Mello Music Group—or wait till next Tuesday, November 13, and cop the physical version at a record store near you.

This a dress I made for my womenswear class, the theme was infinity so I started to think about circles and black holes and this is what I came up with. This is one of my favourite projects I've done up to date. I got the idea of the hole from the book Pattern Magic by Tomoko Nakamichi.
I don't know the name but it is similar to neoprene.

Fitness ads need tighter rules
Relevant offers
There are calls for an inquiry into health claims made in commercials for fitness equipment after the banning of ads for the Ab Circle Pro.
The Advertising Standards Authority found the infomercial was misleading because it ''portrayed unrealistic outcomes'' and a disclaimer was not worded clearly enough.
It has banned the ads until improvements were made.
Clinical exercise physiologist Dr William Sukala of the Southern Cross University in Australia "debunked" the Ab Circle Pro's claims in an article for the fitness industry.
He said it was about time something was done about unethical advertising and has called for a scientific advisory board to evaluate health claims made in the campaign.
Last year, he teamed up with Fitness NZ chief executive Richard Beddie to publicise the ad's misleading nature.
"They're misleading because they take their marketing claims out of context and trump it up," said Sukala.
"It's not illegal but it's not necessarily ethical."
Tighter regulation was needed according to Sukala, an American who has spent four years in New Zealand.
He said it was not realistic for a person to lose 4.5 kilos of stored fat in two weeks by doing the exercise, although they might be able lose that amount of weight - including water, stored carbohydrate, muscle and fat - if they also followed the suggested diet.
But he said in his study of an earlier 10 minute Ab Circle Pro ad that he had counted just six references to the low calorie diet "system" and 28 references to the Ab Circle Pro machine itself.
"These types of companies put a product up - a trojan horse that they break the door down with - but then they often recommend that you follow a reduced calorie diet and some other exercise, like walking, as well," he said.
"So you have to ask the question: are people losing weight because of the diet or because of the product?"
Paul Meier, the director of the exercise product's New Zealand distributor Brand Developers, said the advertisement was not breaking any laws and had already been revised for broadcast.
He said the complainant may well have been a business competitor of his, but would not comment any further on the misleading aspects of his commercial.
TVNZ said it believed Ab Circle Pro V2 advertorials featured during its Good Morning show were compliant with advertising standards, and were vetted by the Commercial Advertising Bureau before going to air.
TVNZ had not received any complaints about the advertorials.
Sukala said the ads were only leading customers down a misleading path, but those customers who bought in were also misleading themselves based on a desire for weight loss without any extra effort.
"As long as there are people that want to lose weight quickly there are going to be companies that will spring up to try and serve that need.
"In my opinion when it comes to companies like this, their business is money and their storefront is fitness.
"I have been doing health and fitness debunking for the past 15 to 20 years and I've seen so many companies just like Ab Circle Pro come and go - they pop up today, they make all their money and when sales start to dwindle they pack it in."

There are ambitious artists and there is Amy Woodruff. A native of the Mermentau area, Woodruff has made a remarkable celebration of her heritage and a vanishing Cajun burial custom with a 20-hour multi-media art installation spanning All Saints/All Souls days at Istre Cemetery in her native Acadia Parish. The installation at the gravesite of her father, grandparents and great-grandparents included the singing of hymns, storytelling, the lighting of candles and tidying up the graves — the latter practice consistent with Roman Catholic rituals for All Saints Day. Istre Cemetery is the last remaining burial site featuring so-called "grave houses" — wooden mausoleums that mimic traditional Cajun architecture. Only four remain at the cemetery, and Woodruff's marathon and very intimate installation served in part as a fundraiser to support preservation efforts at the National Historic Register site.
We're not joking when we say politics in Louisiana can really be a joke. A pair of elected members of the St. Landry Parish School Board are facing lengthy prison sentences and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines for allegedly offering their votes in favor of a candidate for superintendent in exchange for $5,000. U.S. Attorney Stephanie Finley announced the indictments against Quincy Richard and John Miller late last month after a federal grand jury issued them. According to the feds, Richard and Miller fell for the oldest trick in the G-man book: they took the bait from superintendent "candidate" who was working with the FBI. The pols are innocent until proven guilty, of course. But Uncle Sam is pretty meticulous about building these cases and documenting the dirty deeds. Each faces two counts of bribery and one count of conspiracy to commit bribery.
Yeah, so Honey Badger just takes what he wants. The problem is, what he wants is ganja, and now his gridiron dreams have likely gone up in smoke. Tyrann Mathieu, AKA "Honey Badger," that fearless cornerback/return specialist whose 2011 season for LSU was a running highlight reel, was arrested along with former quarterback Jordan Jefferson and two other former Tiger players on marijuana charges in late October. Jefferson was probably headed to a promising career as a soft drink delivery truck driver, so this won't derail his future too much. But Matthieu, who was kicked off the 2012 roster by head coach Les Miles after yet another positive drug test, had undergone rehab and enrolled in classes at LSU with the hope of reviving a once-promising football career. Now it's unlikely that few schools beyond junior colleges will give the 2011 Heisman Trophy finalist a chance at playing again. No, the only shot Honey Badger will get now is a jello shot at the local off-campus bar.
OCT 30 If you're a Louisiana native of (ahem) a certain age, you might have fond (or fuzzy, as the case may be) memories of a Zebra concert and singing "Who's Behind the Door" until your ears rang. This post on NOLA Defender profiles the leader of that band, Randy Jackson.
OCT 30 The National Journal offers this analysis of Bobby Jindal's willingness to stump in any Senate campaign that's not in Louisiana. Why is that? The Journal asks some GOPers and finds that the answer is one we already know: he's so unpopular here, because he's been so busy running for President, that his support might be "toxic."
OCT 30 If you're not obsessed with the Texas governor's race - what's wrong with you? Here's another installment, from our own IND contributor Lamar White Jr., who explains why Wendy's "infamous" wheelchair ad was a shock to the national media - but not to anyone familiar with Greg Abbott's record.
OCT 30 Blogger Tom Aswell is still all over the OGB mess - and all by himself, apparently. In this post, he's revealing orders from the Jindal administration to destroy records from the state employee health insurance plan. Those orders (he's heard) have angered the Secretary of State and caused an administration lawyer to quit her job. Wow!
OCT 30 Blogger Crazy Crawfish is taking aim at state Superintendent John White again, this time for comments White made recently, claiming that there is no real opposition to Common Core in Louisiana. Crawfish is documenting proof to the contrary here, and lays down the gauntlet to "mainstream news media." (Don't hold your breath on that one, buddy.)
OCT 30 Gambit covers Advocate publisher John Georges' recent visit to Loyola in this post. Georges touches on how things are going in this new gig, what he thinks about the Pic's decision to move printing to Alabama, and how he feels about his political campaigns.
OCT 30 A NOLA lady has alleged she was drugged and raped at a Bywater club that had a clothing-optional policy until recently, and she's now become the victim of a smear campaign, columnist Jarvis DeBerry writes in this post. She chose to reveal her story and her name, and she's being punished for that now, he says.
OCT 30 BESE member Lottie Beebe pens this letter to the editor of the Advocate about the state Department of Education. The DOE isn't exempt from the state public records law, and because of recent lawsuits she tried to require regular reports about how many requests had been made to the department and how many remained unanswered. She wasn't successful.
OCT 29 Manny Schewitz blogs on Forward Progressives about recent Facebook posts from David Vitter, including one that purports to take you to a petition to stop Ebola (say what?) but actually signs you up for his newsletter or campaign email list or some such nonsense. Dave must think we're dummies, Manny says -- and Dave's probably right.
OCT 29 Usually, the copy on Red Shtick is satire. But in this post "from the publisher," we get a pretty astute political analysis of Edwin Edwards' charisma and old-school populist swagger. Edwards isn't concealing billionaire backers, or trying to make his opponent out to be "Satan," the post says. He's just running. Huh; imagine that.
OCT 29 Salon's Elias Isquith writes this fairly hilarious commentary on a National Review post about Bobby Jindal's attempts to "beef up" in preparation for a presidential run. But it's not just funny; Isquith seems to have Bobby's number, commenting on how the Gov "and his team are hopelessly ensconced in the Tea Party bubble."

Seth Rogen is heading to "The Mindy Project."
On Tuesday, at the FOX portion of the Television Critics Association Winter Session 2013 in Pasadena, Calif., the network announced that star of "The Guilt Trip" was set to appear on the February 19 episode of the comedy series.
The funnyman will play Sam, who Mindy's character – Mindy — shared her first kiss with.
Speaking about Seth, Mindy said she is excited to reunite with the actor, whom she first met while filming 2005's "The 40 Year Old Virgin."
"It's just really fun spending time with him and I think he's a great writer," she said in response to a question from AccessHollywood.com during the network's Winter Comedy Panel presentation. "He's coming on to do an episode where he plays my first kiss that I met at Jewish summer camp."
Mindy confirmed the episode will feature flashbacks.
"Yeah, there will be, so we're, right [now], sort of casting for these younger versions of ourselves, which is really weird and fun," she said. "And, it's great. I just watched 'Before Sunrise,' so I love two people talking and Seth's so funny to talk to and it was great to reunite with him."
Mindy said don't expect Seth to play just a fun regular fellow her character is reconnecting with.
"There's some twists about what's happened to his character since the time I saw him," she said.
Seth is expected on set on "The Mindy Project" in the coming days, and she may probe her new guest star for a story or two about his recent "The Guilt Trip" co-star, Barbra Streisand.
"We haven't done the episode yet, but when he comes to the table read next week, I will," she said.
The episode, titled "The One That Got Away," airs February 19 at 9:30 ET/PT on FOX.

Microsoft Confirms Next Generation Of Office To Launch In 2015
Microsoft has confirmed that it plans to roll out its next version of Office for Windows in the second half of 2015.
ZDNet blogger Mary Jo Foley first reported on comments made by Julia White, general manager of marketing for Office and Office 365, at Microsoft's Tech Ed Europe conference in Barcelona.
According to Foley, White said that the next version of Office on Windows would launch in the last half of next year, a broad timetable that was different from previous speculation, which had focused on the first half of 2015, perhaps as early as April.
During the end of a guest spot Tuesday on Channel 9, Microsoft's online television channel, White did not specify the second half of the year, saying only "later in 2015." But she did mention that the next version of Office would go through Microsoft's typical testing process, including TAP (Technology Adoption Program) and a beta, with the latter presumably available to the general public.
TAP builds are pre-beta, and restricted to an invite-only group that's usually composed of Microsoft's larger corporate customers.
Microsoft confirmed that White's comments were accurate as reported.
If Microsoft makes its target of the second half of next year, the upgrade would be on the same schedule as the last several editions, which have been released about two-and-a-half-years apart. Office 2013, for example, reached what Microsoft calls "general availability" in January 2013, while Office 2010 and Office 2007 made that milestone in June 2010 and January 2007, respectively.
The next office, code named Office 16, would carry the official label of Office 2016 if Microsoft follows convention.
Google Developing Nanoparticles To Aid In Cancer Fight
October 30, 2014 by mphillips
Filed under Around The Net
Google is focusing attention on tiny magnetic particles that could aid in cancer detection as well as other health problems by coursing through a patient's bloodstream.
Andrew Conrad, head of the Google X research lab's Life Sciences Team, told the WSJ.D Live conference that the particles can be directed toward different parts of the body by applying wearable magnetic devices to the skin.
The wearable would be able to count the particles and possibly compile information about what potential medical conditions they detected.
"Nanoparticles are the nexus between biology and engineering," Conrad said in an interview at the conference, which was excerpted in a video. "We can make these nanoparticles behave in ways that we want them to do."
The so-called Nanoparticle Platform comes in the form of pills that are covered with "antibodies or molecules that detect other molecules," he added.
The particles would be less than one-thousandth the size of a red blood cell and would attach to molecules, proteins and cells in the body. The nanoparticles could help detect arterial plaque or high sodium levels, and might replace standard blood tests to detect early signs of disease, according to Conrad.
Conrad said Google would license the technology to other companies and it would not be responsible for managing information collected through nanoparticle monitoring.
Implementing the nanoparticles could take more than five years, The Wall Street Journal said in reporting the interview with Conrad.
IBM, Twitter Teaming Up On Data Analytics
International Business Machines Corp (IBM) on Wednesday announced a collaboration with Twitter to aid in business decisions using data collected from tweets worldwide.
IBM will help businesses predict trends in the marketplace and consumer sentiment about products and brands and will train 10,000 employees to consult businesses on the best use of Twitter data.
IBM chief executive Ginni Rometty has been trying to shift the 100-year-old company's focus away from commoditized hardware to higher-value cloud and data analytics products.
In July, IBM announced a partnership with Apple Inc to offer iPads and iPhones loaded with applications geared toward enterprise clients.
"Here we are seeing an alignment of old tech and new tech companies. It is the second such deal that IBM has announced in the last couple months. They realize they don't have all the answers and a lot of other companies have asset offerings that can be matched well," said Scott Kessler, analyst at S&P Capital IQ in New York.
In April, Twitter acquired social data provider Gnip to burrow into the 500 million tweets sent daily on its network.
Enterprise clients will now be able to filter the data based on geography, public biographical information and the emotion expressed in the tweet.
The company previously allowed third-party companies such as Gnip, Datasift and Dataminr to buy access to tweets and re-sell that data to corporate clients.
Charles Schwab To Offer Free Investment Planning Offered By 'Rob o-adviser'
October 29, 2014 by mphillips
Filed under Around The Net
Charles Schwab Corp has confirmed that it will begin offering free automated investment plans picked by computer algorithms in the first quarter of 2015.
The program, which will be marketed as Schwab Intelligent Portfolios to retail investors and independent investment advisers, will create portfolios of exchange-traded funds managed by Schwab and other providers.
In offering the service without management, transaction or account service fees, Schwab intends to be "disruptive" to competitors that have rapidly been introducing "rob o-adviser" platforms that charge fees of about 0.25 percent of money invested, Schwab officials said in a conference call with analysts and investors.
Reuters reported Schwab's plan to introduce a free rob o-program on Oct. 3.
Schwab said it can make money through fees from managing and servicing underlying ETFs and from investing client cash in the portfolios. While the portfolios could draw investors who use conventional Schwab accounts or hire advisers who trade through Schwab, the company is not afraid of "cannibalizing" its own revenue, executives said.
The service will appeal primarily to Schwab's traditional self-directed investors who do not want to use its fee-based advice programs, Chief Executive Walt Bettinger said.
He would not name specific competitors Schwab expects to undermine, but said they range from independent firms that offer only automated programs, to "wire houses," a reference to large full-service firms such as Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and UBS AG's U.S. brokerage unit.
"This has the potential to create impact across the entire market," Bettinger said.
Western Digital Goes Purple
WD announced that it will begin shipping larger capacity drives in its surveillance series.
The WD Purple range, launched in February, will now include a 6TB version designed for use in video surveillance environments.
WD Purple drives are capable of recording in groups of eight hard drives, monitoring a total of 32 high-definition camera feeds.
"Video surveillance has long been a pioneering Internet of Things application," said Matt Rutledge, senior vice president and general manager of WD's Storage Technology group.
"Driven by machine-to-machine interaction between high-resolution, high bit-rate video cameras and high-capacity surveillance video recorders, IoT brings access and big data analytics to improve users' security. WD Purple 6TB drives enable innovation in this fast growing market."
As well as the storage credentials, the firmware of the drives contains a few surprises. Allframe reduces video frame loss, improves playback and increases the number of drives supported. This is coupled with regular firmware updates that improve the quality and reliability of the playback.
Intelliseek analyses its environment to optimise searching speeds for the temperature, system resource workload and power consumption in a given situation, while reducing noise and vibration.
The 6TB version is shipping now at $300. It joins the existing range with capacities from 1TB to 5TB.
WD has had a busy year across its consumer and enterprise ranges, releasing the WD Red and WD Red Pro, the WD Ae range for cold storage, featuring incremental disc sizes, and most recently its first wireless addition to the decade-old My Passport range for consumers.
Amazon Acquires Rooftop Media, Expands Digital Content
October 29, 2014 by mphillips
Filed under Around The Net
Amazon.com Inc is set to acquire online comedy service Rooftop Media, a small deal that underscores the Internet retailer's broader ambition of becoming a media and entertainment powerhouse.
Amazon is persisting in buying content to round out its service, with designs to take on Netflix Inc and other online digital media services. But that increasing spending has helped keep the company in the red, inviting criticism from investors.
Audible, the audiobooks service it bought in 2008 for $300 million, is picking up the 10-person company for an undisclosed sum. Audible founder and Chief Executive Donald Katz said in a statement on Monday the company had been attracted by Rooftop's content as well as its pool of comic talent.
Rooftop records comedians at clubs across the country and licenses the digital rights to thousands of hours of comedy, which is broadcast either live or later on demand. The company's media partners include Apple Inc and Yahoo, and it also works with streaming services such as Sirius XM, Spotify and Pandora.
Its content now becomes part of Audible, itself a fast-growing seller of online audiobooks, and vastly increases Rooftop's audience, said Rooftop Chief Executive Officer Will Rogers.
Amazon is expected to continue acquiring digital content at a rapid clip. In past years, it began investing heavily to branch out from its online retail roots, delving into Hollywood-style content production as well as developing a line of tablets, smartphones and set-top boxes to accelerate the sale of digital content.
Microsoft's Surface Finally Turns A Profit
October 28, 2014 by mphillips
Filed under Consumer Electronics
After two years and nearly $2 billion in losses, Microsoft's Surface finally became profitable in the September quarter.
For the three months ending Sept. 30, Microsoft recorded $908 million in revenue for the Surface tablet line, an increase of 127% over the same quarter in 2013. The nearly one billion in revenue was a one-quarter record for the Surface, and beat the combined revenue of the previous two quarters.
Using information in Microsoft's filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as well as data from earlier quarters, Computerworld calculated the quarter's cost of that revenue at $786 million, leaving a gross margin of $122 million. Cost of revenue is the cost to make and sell a product, but excludes expenses such as advertising and R&D.
Microsoft said that the Surface line posted a positive gross margin — implying that outside estimates of prior losses were correct — but did not disclose a dollar figure.
According to Computerworld's estimate, the margin was small, about 13.4%. That's more than the average for a Windows personal computer, but less than half or a third of the margins on tablets like Apple's iPad.
It was even smaller by the figuring of Jan Dawson, principal analyst at Jackdaw Research, who has also used Microsoft's SEC filings to estimate the Surface's cost of revenue. He pegged the September quarter's cost of revenue at $825 million, the gross margin at $83 million, and the margin rate at just 9.1%.
"That's a gross margin … which is not earth-shattering and in fact about half the gross margin of the phone business at Microsoft. But it's progress," Dawson wrote on his blog, where he published his analysis of Surface's financial performance.
Since its October 2012 introduction, Surface has been a money pit for Microsoft, in the hole to the tune of $1.73 billion through its first seven quarters. With the September quarter in the black, those overall losses have been reduced to about $1.6 billion.
Over the last four quarters, Surface also remained in the red, with losses of $325 million on revenue of $2.7 billion. Put another way, for each dollar Microsoft earned on Surface sales, it lost about 12 cents.
McDonalds Plans To Install Self-ordering Kiosks
October 27, 2014 by mphillips
Filed under Around The Net
McDonald's has unveiled its plans to install self-ordering kiosks and mobile ordering at its restaurants. It isn't the only food chain doing this.
The company that owns Chili's Grill & Bar also said it will complete a tablet ordering system rollout next month at its U.S. restaurants. Applebee's announced last December that it would deliver tablets to 1,800 restaurants this year.
The pace of self-ordering system deployments appears to be gaining speed. But there's a political element to this and it's best to address it quickly.
The move toward more automation comes at the same time pressure to raise minimum wages is growing. A Wall Street Journal editorial this week, "Minimum Wage Backfire," said that while it may be true for McDonald's to say that its tech plans will improve customer experience, the move is also "a convenient way…to justify a reduction in the chain's global workforce."
The Journal faulted those who believe that raising fast food wages will boost stagnant incomes. "The result of their agitation will be more jobs for machines and fewer for the least skilled workers," it wrote.
The elimination of jobs because of automation will happen anyway. Gartner says software and robots will replace one third of all workers by 2025, and that includes many high-skilled jobs, too.
Automation is hardly new to retail. Banks rely on ATMs, and grocery stores, including Walmart, have deployed self-service checkouts. But McDonald's hasn't changed its basic system of taking orders since its founding in the 1950s, said Darren Tristano, executive vice president of Technomic, a research group focused on the restaurant industry.
The move to kiosk and mobile ordering, said Tristano, is happening because it will improve order accuracy, speed up service and has the potential of reducing labor cost, which can account for about 30% of costs. But automated self-service is a convenience that's now expected, particularly among younger customers, he said.
"It's keeping up with the times, and the (McDonald's) franchises are going to clamor for it," said Tristano, who said any labor savings is actually at the bottom of the list of reasons restaurants are putting in these self-service systems.
China Touts Homegrown Servers Admidst Cybersecurity Concerns
A Chinese firm has developed the country's first homegrown servers, built entirely out of domestic technologies including a processor from local chip maker Loongson Technology.
China's Dawning Information Industry, also known as Sugon, has developed a series of four servers using the Loongson 3B processor, the country's state-run Xinhua News Agency reported Thursday.
"Servers are crucial applications in a country's politics, economy, and information security. We must fully master all these technologies," Dawning's vice president Sha Chaoqun was quoted as saying.
The servers, including their operating systems, have all been developed from Chinese technology. The Loongson 3B processor inside them has eight cores made with a total of 1.1 billion transistors built using a 28-nanometer production process.
The Xinhua report quoted Li Guojie, a top computing researcher in the country, as saying the new servers would ensure that the security around China's military, financial and energy sectors would no longer be in foreign control.
Dawning was contacted on Friday, but an employee declined to offer more specifics about the servers. "We don't want to promote this product in the U.S. media," she said. "It involves propriety intellectual property rights, and Chinese government organizations."
News of the servers has just been among the ongoing developments in China for the country to build up its own homegrown technology. Work is being done on local mobile operating systems, supercomputing, and in chip making, with much of it government-backed. Earlier this year, China outlined a plan to make the country into a major player in the semiconductor space.
But it also comes at a time when cybersecurity has become a major concern for the Chinese government, following revelations about the U.S. government's own secret surveillance programs. "Without cybersecurity there is no national security," declared China's Xi Jinping in March, as he announced plans to turn the country into an "Internet power."
Two months later, China threatened to block companiesfrom selling IT products to the country if they failed to pass a new vetting system meant to comb out secret spying programs.
Dawning, which was founded using local government-supported research, is perhaps best known for developing some of China's supercomputers. But it also sells server products built with Intel chips. In this year's first quarter, it had an 8.7 percent share of China's server market, putting it in 7th place, according to research firm IDC.
Facebook Debuts 'Rooms' App For Chats
October 24, 2014 by mphillips
Filed under Around The Net
Facebook is going old school, with a stand-alone app for discussion boards geared towards allowin users to talk about shared interests without having to use their real names.
The company released Rooms on Thursday, its answer to the craze around posting and sharing anonymously. People can use any name they want and don't need a Facebook account. The app contains rooms geared around various topics, all of which require an invite link to enter. Providing an email address is optional, for the purposes of having accessed rooms restored if the user deletes the app.
The app is only available on iOS. Plans for other platforms like Android or Windows Phone were not disclosed.
The app is not just about anonymity. With it, Facebook hopes to provide a discussion board-type platform where users can chat about shared interests outside of their usual social circles. It's a concept that has been super popular since, oh, the web's been around.
"One of the magical things about the early days of the web was connecting to people who you would never encounter otherwise in your daily life," Facebook said in a statement Thursday.
"From unique obsessions and unconventional hobbies, to personal finance and health-related issues — you can celebrate the sides of yourself that you don't always show to your friends," the company said.
But the app's ability to succeed likely depends on the number and diversity of rooms created by its users, and whether the app's focus on visuals and photos appeals to them. There's also no desktop version.
The app was developed as part of Facebook's Creative Labs project, which has also released stand-alone apps like Slingshot and Paper.
Facebook stresses that Rooms will let users create a unique identity separate from their Facebook account. Your name can be "Wonder Woman" in the app, Facebook said.
I tried out the app, and was even able to use "Mark Zuckerberg" as my name. (A short "hello" post of mine then immediately generated several "high fives.")
Facebook, however, may share information about Room users within the companies and services operated by Facebook, which would include Facebook itself and other apps like Instagram and WhatsApp, according to the Rooms terms of service.
Google Continues Artificial Intelligence Expansion, Partners With Oxford U.
October 24, 2014 by mphillips
Filed under Around The Net
Google Inc is growing its artificial intelligence area, hiring more than half a dozen leading academics and experts in the field and announcing a partnership with Oxford University to "accelerate" its efforts.
Google will make a "substantial contribution" to establish a research partnership with Oxford's computer science and engineering departments, the company said on Thursday regarding its work to develop the intelligence of machines and software, often to emulate human-like intelligence.
Google did not provide any financial details about the partnership, saying only in a post on its blog that it will include a program of student internships and a series of joint lectures and workshops "to share knowledge and expertise."
Google, which is based in Mountain View, California, is building up its artificial intelligence capabilities as it strives to maintain its dominance in the Internet search market and to develop new products such as robotics and self-driving cars. In January Google acquired artificial intelligence company Deep Mind for $400 million according to media reports.
The new hires will be joining Google's Deep Mind team, including three artificial intelligence experts whose work has focused on improving computer visual recognition systems. Among that team is Oxford Professor Andrew Zisserman, a three-time winner of the Marr Prize for computer vision.
The four founders of Dark Blue Labs will also be joining Google where they will be will be leading efforts to help machines "better understand what users are saying to them."
Google said that three of the professors will hold joint appointments at Oxford, continuing to work part time at the university.
Pandora's Listeners Decline
October 24, 2014 by mphillips
Filed under Consumer Electronics
Pandora Media Inc, owners of the leading Internet radio service, reported a lower-than-expected increase in listeners in the third quarter, sending the company's shares down 6 percent in extended trading on Thursday.
Pandora said it had 76.5 million active listeners as of Sept. 30, an increase of 5.2 percent from a year earlier.
Analysts, on average, had expected 76.7 million, according to market research firm StreetAccount.
Total listener hours rose to 4.99 billion from 3.99 billion, but again fell short of the average estimate of 5.02 billion.
Pandora's profit and revenue both beat market expectations, however, as more people listened to streamed music on their mobile phones.
Mobile revenue increased 52 percent to $188 million, while local advertising revenue rose 118 percent to $41.8 million.
Despite its huge user base, Pandora faces stiff competition from Spotify, Apple Inc's Beats online streaming service, Google Inc, and Amazon.com Inc in the fast-growing music streaming business.
U.S. Government Investigating Medical Device Hacking Threats
October 23, 2014 by mphillips
Filed under Around The Net
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is looking into about two dozen cases of suspected cybersecurity flaws in medical devices and hospital equipment that officials believe could be exploited by hackers, a senior official at the agency told Reuters.
The products under review by the agency's Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team, or ICS-CERT, include an infusion pump from Hospira Inc and implantable heart devices from Medtronic Inc and St Jude Medical Inc, according to other people familiar with the cases, who asked not to be identified because the probes are confidential.
These people said they do not know of any instances of hackers attacking patients through these devices, so the cyber threat should not be overstated. Still, the agency is concerned that malicious actors may try to gain control of the devices remotely and create problems, such as instructing an infusion pump to overdose a patient with drugs, or forcing a heart implant to deliver a deadly jolt of electricity, the sources said.
The senior DHS official said the agency is working with manufacturers to identify and repair software coding bugs and other vulnerabilities that hackers can potentially use to expose confidential data or attack hospital equipment. He declined to name the companies.
"These are the things that shows like 'Homeland' are built from," said the official, referring to the U.S. television spy drama in which the fictional vice president of the United States is killed by a cyber attack on his pacemaker.
"It isn't out of the realm of the possible to cause severe injury or death," said the official, who did not want to be identified due to the sensitive nature of his work.
Hospira, Medtronic and St Jude Medical declined to comment on the DHS investigations. All three companies said they take cybersecurity seriously and have made changes to improve product safety, but declined to give details.
Google Launches Two-Factor Security Key
Google has added account authentication via USB stick to its two-step verification process, offering users a more convenient way to sign in to their accounts in a secure manner.
As detailed in a Google security blog post, a compatible USB Security Key can now be used to log-in to Google accounts with two-step authentication.
The addition of the USB Security Key, Google claims, ensures that the log-in website is an actual Google website and not a fake.
Two-step authentication normally asks the user to enter a secret code sent to their phone in addition to entering their password online.
This process prevents potential attackers using passwords that might have been stolen or guessed in order to impersonate account holders, as presumably they won't have the user's phone to enter the code.
The USB Security Key adds another layer of protection to the process. Instead of entering a secret code, the user can simply insert their USB Security Key in their computer and tap when prompted in Google's Chrome web browser.
Google said: "When you sign into your Google Account using Chrome and Security Key, you can be sure that the cryptographic signature cannot be phished."
The USB Security Key implements the open Universal 2nd Factor protocol promoted by the FIDO Alliance, which means it can be used by other web browsers in addition to Chrome and other websites in addition to Google's.
Google has recently enhanced the level of security it provides, and the extension of two-step authentication to include a physical security key is simply another step.
Microsoft Releases First Windows 10 Update
Microsoft has issued the first update for Windows 10 Technical Preview, launching its fast-paced release strategy.
The update, designated as Build 9860, followed the Oct. 1 release of the preview, which Microsoft has offered businesses and technology enthusiasts to give potential customers a look at the work in progress and collect feedback during development.
The Oct. 1 version of Windows 10 was labeled Build 9841.
"Sometimes [updates] will be more frequent and sometimes there will be longer gaps, but they will always be chock full of changes and improvements, as well as some bugs and things that are not quite done," wrote Gabe Aul, of Microsoft's Operating Systems Group on a company blog.
Aul said that Build 9860 had been handed to his group only a week ago, and repeated earlier warnings by other Microsoft managers that the preview remains incomplete and unpolished.
Although rapid iterations are nothing new to preview or beta software, Microsoft plans to accelerate the delivery of updates — ones that will include not only security patches and performance fixes, but also new features — once Windows 10 officially ships in mid-2015.
Updates will ship as often as monthly for consumers, while businesses will be able to choose between that and two additional tempos that Gartner has tagged as "near-consumer speed" and "long-term servicing." The former will roll up the "consumer-speed" updates every four to six months to versions that fast-acting enterprises will test and deploy, while the latter will remain feature- and UI-static for as long as two to three years, receiving only security updates.
Other analysts have contended that Microsoft is pushing frequent updates to Windows 10 Technical Preview as much to test the process — both the back-end Windows Update service and the Windows 10 clients' ability to absorb the changes and smoothly install the updates — as for the company's stated reasons of gathering feedback and offering users an early look.
"Changes in Windows Update were put in place to make this possible," Wes Miller, an analyst with Directions on Microsoft, said in an interview earlier this month. "The biggest question for Microsoft is how the updating process works with the Technical Preview."
In the preview, customers have an update frequently choice of only "Fast" or "Slow."
Build 9860 will be delivered automatically to most PCs running Windows 10 within days, but users can manually initiate the process by going to "PC Settings," choosing "Update and recovery" and then "Preview builds," and finally clicking the "Check Now" button.
Aul said that the download would weigh in at between 2GB and 2.7GB, and that the reboot, the reconstruction of the OS's search index, and the syncing of OneDrive would take "longer than normal" and "some time."
Microsoft will ship a second consumer-oriented preview in early 2015, but it's virtually certain that the firm will provide more-or-less-monthly updates to the Technical Preview between now and then.

Joel Grant was also on target from the penalty spot in an incident that saw Burton defender Zander Diamond sent off.
Gareth Ainsworth made two changes to the Wycombe side with Jesse Kewley-Graham and Sam Wood replacing the injured Danny Foster and suspended Charles Dunne.
Former Wanderer Chris Palmer had the first shot on target and it came in the ninth minute as he cut in from the left and fired straight at Jordan Archer from the edge of the area.
The opening goal came three minutes later and it was that man McClure who was on target again with his third goal in two matches. The ball broke to Joel Grant on the edge of the area and his low shot was saved by Dean Lyness, but McClure was on hand to tap in from five yards.
Wycombe were a coat of paint away from making it 2-0 in the 20th minute when Bruno Andrade's left-footed strike hit the outside of the post after Dean Morgan had done well to find him midway inside the Burton half.
Palmer's free-kick tested Archer 10 minutes before the break, but the on-loan Tottenham keeper gathered the ball at the second attempt.
Neither side created too much in the first half with the most of the opening period fought out in midfield.
Morgan forced Lyness into a save low down to his right seconds after the restart and the forward came even closer in the 54th minute, but his strike cannoned back off the post with Lyness well beaten.
Wycombe didn't have to wait much longer for their second though, as McClure latched on to Morgan's pass in the 57th minute and was brought down in the area by Zander Diamond.
The Burton centre-back was shown a straight red card for the foul and top scorer Grant made no mistake from the spot, sending Lyness the wrong way.
It was 3-0 six minutes later when McClure smashed home from close-range after Grant had seen a header well saved from Wood's deep cross. It was a great move from the Blues and McClure was again in the right place at the right time.
McClure was inches away from his hat-trick in the 67th minute as his header went just the wrong side of the post. Wycombe were then denied what looked a clear penalty after Morgan was scythed down in the area, but the referee waved away the appeals.
Charlton loanee Ade Azeez came on for his debut with 13 minutes remaining and Georges Ehui also made his Wanderers bow as Wycombe comfortably saw the game out for a deserved three points.
The scoreline could have got even better in injury-time when substitute Junior Morias burst through on goal, but Lyness made himself big and stopped the 17-year-old's shot.
Wycombe: Archer, Lewis, Wood, Winfield (c), Johnson, Grant (Azeez 77), Kewley-Graham, Scowen (Ehui 88), Andrade, Morgan, McClure (Morias 85).
Subs: Harrison, Hause, Ainsworth, Oli.
Burton: Lyness, O'Connor, Stanton, Diamond, McCrory, Palmer, Weir, Bell, Maghoma (Corbett 70), Kee (Holness 58), Zola (Blyth 78).
Subs: Atkins, McGrath, Taylor, Dyer.
