The Perfect Storm Intensifies - The Convergence of BigData, Cloud and the Internet of Things is Now at Full Strength
By Mac Devine
Almost everyone sees the potential of Internet of Things but how can businesses truly unlock that potential. The key will be in the ability to discover business insight in the midst of an ocean of Big Data generated from billions of embedded devices via Systems of Discover. Businesses will also need to ensure that they can sustain that insight by leveraging the cloud for global reach, scale and elasticity. Without bringing these three elements together via Systems of Discover you either end up with an Internet of somethings and/or a big mess of data. [continued]

The Physical Web
By Scott Jenson
Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices
Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys. [continued]

Identity Management and WebRTC
By Peter Dunkley
We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service - possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings - and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorisation, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) irreversibly encoded. This presentation looks at how this identity problem can be solved and discusses ways to use existing web identities for real-time communication. [continued]
Speaker Bio: Peter is Technical Director at Acision. He graduated from The University of Edinburgh in 2000 with a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science. After graduation Peter worked on a PSTN switch developing signalling stacks for SS7, ISDN and similar protocols and creating advanced routing and service applications. [continued]
IoT: Integration of Things
By Chris Mathieu
There will be 50 billion Internet connected devices by 2020. Today, every manufacturer has a propriety protocol and an app. How do we securely integrate these "things" into our lives and businesses in a way that we can easily control and manage? Even better, how do we integrate these "things" so that they control and manage each other so our lives become more convenient or our businesses become more profitable and/or safe? We have heard that the best interface is no interface. These devices generate enough data to learn our behaviors and simplify/improve our lives. What if we could connect everything to everything? I'm not only talking about connecting things to things but also systems, cloud services, and people. Add in a little machine learning and artificial intelligence and now we have something interesting... [continued]

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

Connected devices are changing the way we go about our everyday life, from wearables to driverless cars, to smart grids and entire industries revolutionizing business opportunities through smart objects, capable of two-way communication. But what happens when objects are given an IP-address, and we rely on that connection, sometimes with our lives? How do we secure those vast data infrastructures and safe-keep the privacy of sensitive information? This session will outline how each and every connected device can uphold a core root of trust via a unique cryptographic signature – a "bir...

WebRTC defines no default signaling protocol, causing fragmentation between WebRTC silos. SIP and XMPP provide possibilities, but come with considerable complexity and are not designed for use in a web environment. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Matthew Hodgson, technical co-founder of the Matrix.org, will discuss how Matrix is a new non-profit Open Source Project that defines both a new HTTP-based standard for VoIP & IM signaling and provides reference implementations.

Joint Finances
How are yall addressing the issue of finances? Are you going 50/50? Using separate accounts? Joint accounts? How do you address the bills that were once individual but are now apart of the household expenses?
For example: I would like to have a joint checking and savings account. In addition, I thinkwe should also then have individual savings and/or MADD money accounts for each of us. FI thinks it will work if we just do the "separate" thing and then the both of us just contribute a certain amount of money each month to take care of the bills. I think the majority of the money should go into the joint accounts and we can take out what we need to put in our separate accounts -- not the other way around. What is someone decided not to contribute that month. My mother divorced my dad after 35 years because for some strange reason she started thinking that HE was hiding money from her (which he wasn't). So come to find out, she started separating all her money from him thinking he was somehow "saving up" for some reason (like another woman) unbeknownst to her. Romance without Finance ain't s**t but a damn nuisance.
I just think that when you have things separated that you leave too much room for assumptions. If you love and trust one another then you should be able to trust each other when it comes to something HUGE like finances. If you don't trust your spouse when it comes to money, then why in the world would you want to marry them? Seems ass backwards to me.

Cattaraugus Knife EBONY King of the Woods 12829 -12839? Picture and Description:
ellisrichman Store For your consideration and collecting pleasure, this auction presents an authentic and quite hard-to-find Cattaraugus "KING OF THE WOODS" knife with original factory EBONY scales (handles). First, a little history on the evolution of the company that made the King of the Woods ABOUT the CATTARAUGUS CUTLERY CO. ...from AllAboutPocketKnives.com the BEST source for all pocket knife information The Cattaraugus Company was started by John Champlin and his son Tint in 1882. It was first incorporated under the name J.B.F. Champlin and Son as a wholesale distribution company based in Little Valley, New York. This history of J.B.F. Champlin (the founder) as a businessman is very interesting. Some view him as "the patriarch" of a whole line of American cutlery firms, including Case Bros, Kinfolks, Little Valley Knife Association, Crandall, W R Case, and many others that had their roots in some association with Mr. Champlin's vision. The business proved to be a successful endeavor, and it soon branched into a knife production company named Cattaraugus Cutlery Company of Little Valley NY. In 1890, Mr. Champlin purchased cutlery manufacturing equipment from a failed business called the Beaver Falls Cutlery factory. Because Champlin started in the knife business as a wholesaler for a company who imported German and English knives he had great knowledge about the cutlery business. As a wholesaler, he knew the market well, and he knew the shortcomings of the U.S. knife manufacturers. His plan was simple. He believed that the business would thrive if he could provide the highest quality cutlery available. In order to achieve this goal, he hired the best cutlers and provided them with the highest quality materials. This combination proved to be successful. Champlin brought in cutlers from Germany, England, and other U.S. manufacturers. The knives that were created in these early years designed in over 100 patterns set the quality standard by which all other U.S. manufacturers were measured. HISTORY OF THE "KING OF THE WOODS" FOLDING HUNTING KNIFE The "KING OF THE WOODS" hunting knife was introduced with as pattern number 12819, which contained no blade-locking device. The scales were made of jigged bone, thus the "9" at the end of the pattern number which designates Cattaraugus jigged bone scales. All of the "KING OF THE WOODS" knives were etched on the blade, but very few remain with the original delicate "KING OF THE WOODS" etching intact. At some point, Cattaraugus installed a brass blade-locking device in the liner, and reissued the knife as the 12829. This transition may have initiated in the early 1930's when Tint Champlin of Cattaraugus Cutlery filed a patent for a lock-back device on March 3, 1931, described as a "blade locking device" with drawings and description of the liner-lock that we see on the 12829 pattern. The patent and drawings were approved on April 5, 1932 (patent #1,852,400 - Here is a link to that patent: Link to patent for Cattaraugus Liner Lock-Back knife For some reason, the 12829's are marked Patented July 2, 1906 on the liner release, yet I'm unable to find a patent or patent filing for this date. The redesign feature added a little more heft to the knife, and it was reported that far less hunters were losing fingers with the new lock-back feature ) The last of the "KING OF THE WOODS" knives was the 12839 pattern, where the manufacturer created a swing-guard attached to the blade by a pin passing through a hole in the tang, and they also moved the blade lock from the liner to the back of the knife. Interestingly, this exact design of a blade locking device on a pocket knife was patented by John Case in 1906 (here is a link to that patent: Link to King of the Woods patent I'll include copies I have of some of these patents with drawings for the winning bidder enclosed with the knife and the engraved custom wooden box I had made to protect and showcase it. WHY THIS KNIFE IS STUNNING and HARD-TO-FIND This is quite likely a one-of-a-kind EBONY "KING OF THE WOODS". Like the 12829, there is no swing guard, and it does not have a pin-hole where the swing-guard of the 12839 does. Yet it DOES have the style of the blade lock on the back of the knife just like the 12839 pattern. It also was fitted by Cattaraugus craftsman with solid EBONY scales. All the patterns for the King of the Woods that I've seen have jigged bone scales...execpt this one and one other I saw a picture of that has the swing-guard. There is NOT a pattern number anywhere on this knife. So how did this unique knife possibly come to exist? Cattaraugus experts and collectors that I have consulted with concur that this is an authentic Cattaraugus "KING OF THE WOODS" in EBONY. The most likely speculation is that of the many skilled knife-makers (known as cutlers) employed at the Cattaraugus factory, some occasionally chose to customize personal knives for themselves or their friends using parts from the manufacturing supplies. If there were a pattern designation for this Ebony scale knife, it likely would have been "12826" or an early (possibly a prototype) "12836" Note: Here's how the Cattaraugus pattern numbering system works --- the "1" designates one blade, the "2" designates two bolsters, the two-digit model number would be "82" or "83" and the scales designated as "6" to indicate scales made of EBONY --- whereas the number "9" designates jigged bone scales. Below is a link to information and pictures of the code numbers and the types of handle materials that Cattaraugus Cutlery manufactured their knives with: https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/cattaraugus/cattaraugus_handle_material.php DETAILS OF THIS VERY SPECIAL FOLDING HUNTER'S POCKET KNIFE This collector's knife is about 9.3 inches long fully open, indicating that a professional polishing that a previous owner completed took the blade-length down a fraction of an inch. It absolutely gleams from shiny tip to tip, and the almost perfect EBONY scales have no cracks or hairlines. The shield emblem is superb. Snap is excellent. It has an almost imperceptible wobble that's just about not worth mentioning. There are some tiny scratches and minimal light pitting on the blade, with some deeper scratches on the stamped tang of the blade than elsewhere…the tang was likely left less polished to preserve the Cattaraugus stamp, which is nicely legible except that a few letters that are worn off. Brass liner, clean as a whistle, with nickel silver bolsters. Hole was factory-drilled in the base of the blade for a ring or thong. When closed, the blade sits a little toward the left side of the center of the liner…and it opens and closes very nicely. The liner is really clean, no rust anywhere on the knife that I can see. The blade locks in tight as a drum. An expert pointed out that the "kick" on the tang appears ground a tiny bit to enable the blade to seat more properly in the case. I'm including an engraved custom wood knife display case that I designed specifically for this knife to protect and show off this collector's dream; the outside of the box is engraved: King of the Woods Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. Little Valley, N.Y. (see pictures for more details of this custom display case) Would you like to own a one-of-a-kind "KING OF THE WOODS"? Several Cattaraugus collectors expressed to me how much they would like to own this knife, so I decided to auction it to make it fair to all the interested parties. Don't miss out, and feel like "Oh I would have won it if I'd just bid a little more." You'll be thrilled and excited that if you place the winning bid…this knife is a quintessential showpiece for any Cattaraugus or folding hunting knife collection, especially if you collect the "KING OF THE WOODS" variations. Your friends mouths will drop open (and drool a little) when they see this. When I first showed it to my wife, she said, "Wow, it's heavy!" Shipping will be USPS Priority Mail, very carefully packaged, with signed receipt. No returns…and I'm certain you'll be happy. I will ship within 3 business days of receipt of your payment. International shipping ONLY if you contact me first about shipping rates. otherwise no international shipping. Note: Because there appears to be no documentation in any knife collecting book about this unique pattern of knife, I am relying heavily on the speculation and conjecture of Cattaraugus knife experts that have graciously shared their opinions with me; I am a novice collector/researcher and probably know much less about knives than you do. In other words, please ask any questions you like before bidding, and I'll do my best, but I'm not an authority on Cattaraugus. The consensus is that this knife is beautiful, and "the Real McCoy." Please look at the pictures carefully and ask questions prior to bidding, NO returns. All information is believed to be reliable, but is not warranted by the seller as condition is a matter of opinion, and I'm happy to offer my opinion, but as I stated I'm not a cutlery expert...but I appreciate a beautiful and rare knife like this when I see one.

Yes, yes ya'll. It's Matisyahu the Hasidic Reggae superstar.
Now this was unexpected. Crossing over, breaking boundaries… it's all good. Straight from Crown Heights, Brooklyn.
Last week was a lesson in discipline, with having to post a video a day for video blogging week. I have to admit, midway I thought I wouldn't make it through. Especially with heavy work deadlines pressing.
But what kept me posting was knowing that others were doing the same and that people were watching. All the videos I saw were so personal and I can't explain the feeling I got from having an inside look at a person's life, or how they view the world, how we agreed and disagreed. It felt like I was connected on a global scale. Like we were all connnected and forming one big global family. No, as Ian and then Richard said – "You can't do that in a podcast."
Anyway, I would love to continue producing videos daily, but unfortunately it doesn't pay the bills just yet (Hopefully someday! Cross fingers). But what I do want to do is post videos on a daily basis of things of special concern to me, or that I find interesting, or can help someone out in some way, or that is socially conscious. I will still post videos of my own life, and produce original content, but I like how discussions can be started through this medium. It's unlike anything else that I've experienced thus far.
So keeping in line with that thought, I found this web site dedicated to a global call-to-action on overcoming AIDS, starvation, and extreme poverty – especially among children. If you have a couple of minutes, check out the short videos above. And if you have extra time, email Tony Blair (even if you're not from the UK) and let him know that as a global family, we do care and that during the G8 summit in July, you'd like your voice heard.
The closer moving day gets, the more I start looking around and wondering if I'm really leaving New York. I'm really leaving NY. I'm actually leaving NY.
So I'm editing a video for a friend and I became seriously distracted (I tried not to take too much editing time on this vlog piece) and nostalgic when I started combing through my NY footage – especially Brooklyn. I grew up in Manhattan, the Bronx, upstate NY, but I "lived" in Brooklyn… so it's not easy saying goodbye.
This video is a compilation of stuff from the summer of '04. It's a reminder of the long walks my babe and I took throughout Brooklyn, gettting our daily dose of coffee, Thai food, sitting by the water…
California better be good. ;) This one's for you babe.
Oh, and the music if from the soundtrack of one of the few movies we saw this past summer "Garden State." See it if you haven't already. The band's name is Frou Frou and the song title is "Let Go."
Dylan is an 11 year old vlogger, actually the world's youngest vlogger according to the news. Her dad Michael is coming to NYC for the vloggercon, and Dylan wants to come with him. The obstacle is the cost of travel.
So if you want to foster a little girl's dream…(we need more girls and women involved in video / filmmaking / technology), help her out.
[Edit] 01/07/05 : Dylan reached her goal. There are nice people out there…

Political Life in Cairos New Quarters
moreSince the 1970s, Cairo has experienced tremendous growth and change. Nearly three million people now live in new urban communities characterized by unregulated housing, informal economic activity, and the presence of Islamist groups. Salwa Ismail examines the effects of these changes in Political Life in Cairo's New Quarters. Working in Cairo, Ismail interviewed new quarter residents, observed daily life in markets and alleyways, met with local leaders, and talked with young men about their encounters with the government. Rich in ethnographic detail, this work reveals the city's new urban quarters as sites not only of opposition and relative autonomy, but also under governmental surveillance and discipline. In doing so, it situates the everyday within the context of wider developments in Cairo: the decline of welfarism, the shift to neoliberal government, and the rise of the security state. Original and timely, Political Life in Cairo's New Quarters highlights the interplay of structural changes, state power, and daily governance, and presents a fascinating analysis of urban transformation and power struggles--as international forces meet local communities in a major city of the global south. Salwa Ismail is a senior lecturer in politics at the University of Exeter. less

Selling scrap metal provides quick cash due to rising commodity prices
Selling Scrap Metal

6 Squirrely Ways to Save
Do you need to call your stockbroker to make some money off the soaring cost of metallic commodities? No, you don't. You just need to clean your garage, attic, and basement.
Scrap metal dealers are currently paying top dollar for all types of scrap metal, including copper, aluminum, steel, brass, nickel, tin, and lead. They are also paying well for items that contain high amounts of these metals, such as batteries, motors, computers, circuit boards, and electrical wires and cables.
I recently brought a van full of scrap metal to a local dealer after cleaning out my garage. Did I know that I had a garage full of scrap metal? No. But, after reviewing the dealer's website and speaking to a representative from the company, I was surprised to learn what they would purchase. The load I brought in included damaged aluminum baseball bats, rusty golf irons, and old bicycles that would be of little use to anyone. I also brought the motor from a broken ceiling fan and two dead 12-volt batteries from my son's motorized jeep. I was paid $40 for my trouble.
Had I chosen to discard these items rather than take them to the scrap dealer for recycling, I would have had to make special arrangements with the local municipality to pick these items up, as some require special handling for safe disposal.
Note: Scrap metal prices vary from year to year and from season to season; check with a scrap metal dealer to see the current prices.
The amount that scrap metal dealers will pay varies for each type of metal. Payment is normally by the pound, with copper and aluminum currently paying the highest at $3/lb. and $.60/lb. respectively, and steel paying the lowest amount at around $.10/lb. Payment for items containing lead or copper wiring, such as batteries and motors, is also by the pound; currently paying approximately $.20/lb. These may sound like relatively small amounts per pound, but you will be surprised how much the junk in your house weighs when the scrap man puts it on the scale. Some scrap metal dealers will even drive to your house to pick up your unwanted scrap if the amount is large enough for them to send a truck.
As always, it pays to do your homework before selling scrap metal. There are always unscrupulous dealers willing to take advantage of uninformed people. Conduct some research to determine a fair market price, and compare the prices paid by various dealers. The demand for scrap metal is high, so dealers will pay competitive prices for your garbage.
Think of all the metallic junk that has needlessly been taking up precious space in your garage, attic, or basement. Some of the junk I just sold was in my garage for over ten years. Take an hour or two to clean out the storage areas in your house. You will free up a lot of extra space and make some easy cash in the process.

Leaders must learn to accept no: Arun Jaitley
Amid media speculations that Jaswant Singh will file nomination papers as an independent candidate from Barmer constituency in Rajasthan, senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Arun Jaitley on Sunday said political leaders may have to take âEuronoâEuro as an answer to his desires.
"Membership of political party is a privilege. It is also an act of self oppression where personal views and ambitions are subjected to the collective wisdom of the party. At times, the party may flood leaders with privileges and positions. On other occasions, the leader may have to take ânoâ as an answer to his desires. How does a politician or a leader react to such ânoâ? He must accept the decision with a smile. This becomes a test of his loyalty and discipline. Restraint and silence are always a preferred option. Over-reaction may prove be a transient storm in a tea cup. Silence is always dignified and more gracious," Jaitley said on his official website.
Jaitley said that a leader must accept a 'no' from his political party and it is in such situation when his discipline and political loyalty are to be tested.
"In the election season, many political persons desirous of being candidates succeed in getting a party nomination. Many more get left out. A political party is built upon the support of millions of political workers who have sacrificed their time and energy without ever aspiring to hold elected office. What does a politician do when after a successful political career the party is unable to accommodate him once? That is when his discipline and political loyalty are to be tested," Jaitley wrote.
On being denied a ticket by BJP to contest the Lok Sabha polls from Rajasthan's Barmer constituency, Jaswant Singh expressed his displeasure over the party's working style.
Media reports also said that Jaswant Singh will file nomination papers as an independent candidate from Barmer constituency in Rajasthan.
The BJP, in its sixth list of candidates, has instead given the ticket to Colonel Sonaram Choudhary .
Singh had reportedly told the BJP leadership that he wanted to contest from the Barmer constituency in Rajasthan.
He has been fielded from Dahod in Gujarat.
The BJP on Friday released the sixth list of candidates.

I am really glad this got so many notes (300 is a lot for me lol)…. but not because I want the notes or whatever but because when I saw this comic it made me feel really weird and sad inside and I thought that I wanted a lot of people to see it too
it makes a point thats really difficult to explain with words in such an artful way and it's not something I thought about much
So I figured I'd screencap this before it gets taken down or modified because it is hilarious.
I don't even particularly like Kingdom Hearts and I know that's not Darth Maul, that's one of those hooded guys that ended up being so important in later Kingdom Hearts games. The 13th Order? Something like that.
Nevermind the fact that I am pretty sure Darth Maul uses some kind of weird lightsaber staff thingy - it's Anakin that uses dual sabers in Episode III. We're talking literally 15 seconds on Google Image Search, here.
Let's have a warm round of applause for Polygon, everyone.
This recently discovered cave in Vietnam is massive beyond description. An entire forest is growing inside! There are no words to describe the enormity, and beauty of this natural wonder. The Empire State Building will fit inside!
I want to see it!! Take me there! :O

Browns cut Gocong, Young
Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - The Cleveland Browns released linebacker Chris Gocong and defensive back Usama Young on Tuesday.
Gocong missed all of the 2012 season with a ruptured right Achilles. He came to Cleveland via trade from Philadelphia in 2010 and recorded 141 tackles, 5 1/2 sacks, six passes defensed and three forced fumbles in 32 games over his two healthy seasons with the Browns.
Cleveland signed Young in 2011 following a four-year stint with New Orleans. In two seasons with the team, he made 19 starts and totaled 118 tackles, four interceptions, 1 1/2 sacks and eight passes defensed. He appeared in a total of 29 games with the Browns.
The Browns did make an addition to their squad on Tuesday, agreeing on a contract with kicker Brandon Bogotay, a former backup to Minnesota Vikings Pro Bowl selection Blair Walsh at the University of Georgia.

heading to Peach Springs the next day. We
stopped at the Roadkill Café in Seligman
and ate food named afler dead animals. We
bought a metal donkey, which we named
Donkey and strapped to the roof of the
RAUNCHero for good luck. We played in
the snow and spun donuts just because. It
lightened the mood, and we arrived in Peach
Springs smiling.
Strangely, we saw no signs along Route 66
for the Skywalk. We knew something was
amiss. The local tourism center confirmed our
suspicions: The Internet shafled us. We were
in the wrong spot, some 200 miles away, and
losing daylight fast. However, we did learn of
a trail leading to the Colorado River, which
cut a path right through the Earth at the base
of the Grand Canyon. The trail was a rough,
19-mile stretch of rock and dirt inhabited by
wild boars, coyotes, rattlesnakes, and donkeys.
The woman behind the counter at the visitor
center doubted our resolve to negotiate the
trail in the RAUNCHero, but she took our
money anyway.
After the pitfalls, shortcomings, cruel
twists of fate, and self-inflicted physical and
emotional wounds, we were bound to see
this through to the end. We were meant to
meander until finding the real goal of this
trip: to see the bottom of the Grand Canyon
in person and to get there by our own
mechanical means. We tore of into the desert,
driving with purpose and throwing caution
to the wind. We sped alongside wildlife,
crossed streams, busted boulders and had
the time of our lives. Raunchy would not
let us down. We reached the shore at dusk,
knowing the gate to the trail would soon
close. We spent maybe half an hour staring
at the river, high-fiving each other and basking
in the glow of our accomplishment. It
wasn't Alaska and we weren't racing, but that
wasn't the point and we knew it. We had our
video, and the 400-mile drive home would
be a cakewalk.
Some have said that we aren't hot rodders,
that we are irresponsible and generate
predictable failure whenever we hatch a
harebrained scheme and embark on one of
these trips. It's tough to argue. However, we
are having fun, and isn't that the point? Ours
may not be their brand of whiskey, but it
tastes good to us, and we'll drink it heartily
and not hesitate to laugh during those rare
occasions when opportunity meets chance,
no matter what the outcome. We just logged
3,000-plus miles in a '68 Ranchero in the
dead of winter. Beats riding the couch.

An investigation into cargo security by two scientists published in Scientific American reports radiation detection technology will fail to alert government inspectors of highly enriched uranium (HEU) smuggled into the country by terrorists.
"Although some federal officials and government contractors claim that the technology will be effective," write Thomas B. Cochran and Matthew G. McKinzie, senior scientists at the National Resources Defense Council, "an analysis we have conducted shows that the machines will not reliably reveal HEU. Instead the government must place a much higher priority on efforts to identify and eliminate or secure known stock HEU, stopping the potential problem at its source."
In 2002 and 2003, Cochran and McKinzie helped ABC News internationally smuggle depleted uranium, which emits "a radiation signature comparable to that of " HEU, through radiation detectors at U.S. ports. (The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said its detection system works and that it does not calibrate for the "fake stuff.")
During its investigations, ABC News tested the ability of DHS' first generation detector systems, known as radiation portal monitors (RPMs), to detect HEU. The primary problem with RPMs was that even if they could detect radiation, they also needed to discern the radiation emitted by harmless substances from the radiation emitted from dangerous substances. "The inability of RPMs to measure a source's characteristic radiation spectrum," notes Cochran and McKinzie, "however, leads inevitably to false alarms from background sources, and the false-alarm rate for the current monitors is problematically high."
As a solution to this problem, DHS announced in 2006 that it would buy hundreds of new second-generation radiation detectors, or advanced spectroscopic portal (ASP) machines, for over $1 billion. These machines supposedly can differentiate between harmless radioactive cargo and more sinister substances. The authors say even these machines will not sufficiently detect HEU, because terrorists would likely shield HEU, possibly wrapping it in lead, to absorb its radiation output and stymie any detection device. Other problems with ASP machines continue to mount, Cochran and McKinzie report.
Their ability to reliably sense shielded HEU was not demonstrated during classified trials at the U.S. Department of [Energy's] Nevada test site. Moreover, the ASP machines failed to function properly, when installed at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, as a result of software problems. Indeed, in November 2007 the Washington Post revealed that Homeland Security itself had questioned the machines' effectiveness. According to the newspaper, in September 2006 auditors at the U.S. Government Accountability Office alleged that officials had greatly exaggerated the tools' capabilities. Another investigation by the accountability office a year later found that officials had overseen compromised tests of the ASP system. After petitioning Congress to allocate funds for more ASPs, in October 2007 Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff decided to postpone certifying the new ASPs and further production until problems were resolved.
Cochran and McKinzie worry that an overreliance on radiation detection at ports of entry, which they argue is flawed, will allow terrorists to smuggle small amounts of HEU into the United States over time, which will then be assembled into a crude bomb, that if detonated, could cause mass destruction on American soil.
Rather than rely on radiation detection at American ports of entry, the authors argue the government should concentrate more on "securing and eliminating HEU sources worldwide." The authors also advocate that the United States seek a global ban on the commercial use of HEU, which can be replaced with alternative substances.

Colors can symbolize human feelings. We often associate them with certain emotions and feelings. For instance, the color blue is often used to symbolize sadness or loneliness. Red for love or sometimes rage. Black for grief. In the same way, custom crayons can add some color to a dull drawing or artwork. Over the years, crayons are still among the favorite items that people, young or old alike, loves to receive as a gift. We can all recall feeling excited after receiving or buying a new box of crayons with logo. They are one of the things that a child will get in contact with.

To date, there are over 100 billion customized crayons that have been produced so far. The first crayons were made from a mixture of charcoal and oil. The early 1900s saw the development of a nontoxic wax crayon by cousins Edwin Binney and Harold Smith. The former's wife added the French words craiemeaning chalk and öla meaning oily to form the Crayola brand. Their first box contained eight colors and were sold for a nickel in 1903. In 1957, 40 new colors were added. Now, there are over 120 colors of personalized crayons. More than 5 billion are being produced annually.
