When Amanda Spiller of Henrico saw that she'd won the $1 million prize in the Virginia Lottery's $100 Million Cash Extravaganza game, it didn't immediately sink in.

I'm still pretty much a novice in the 3D world, but I like to think I'm improving all the time. Trained as an artist over 20 years ago, but set off on a completely different career path that left little time for art until a couple of years ago. After a half-hearted start in Rhino, I recently discovered Silo and latterly 3D-Coat. Amazing software! I use them in conjunction with Paint Shop Pro to produce work for Poser - if I find time I should also try and learn Daz Studio.
To those who buy my work - a big thank you - one day I might earn enough to make a semblence of a living at this! But if not, I'll still do it anyway.

Women at Goldman Sachs are either sexualized or ignored by binge-drinking 'boys club', claim two former employees as they launch class action lawsuit
- H Cristina Chen-Oster and Shanna Orlich say the bank has created an atmosphere where women are either 'sexualized or ignored'
- The women are asking a federal judge to turn their 2010 lawsuit into a class action on behalf of current and former female associates and vice presidents at Goldman
- They said they have statements by other former employees, statistical analyses and evidence of earnings and promotions to support their claims
- Female vice presidents earn 21 per cent less than their male counterparts, the women claim
Two former female employees of Goldman Sachs are seeking class action status for their lawsuit accusing the New York-based bank of widespread gender discrimination and creating a 'boy's club' atmosphere of binge drinking and visits to strip clubs.
H Cristina Chen-Oster and Shanna Orlich petitioned a Manhattan federal judge today to let them sue Goldman on behalf of current and former female associates and vice presidents.
They said in a filing that they have statements by former Goldman employees, expert statistical analyses and evidence of earnings and promotions from the firm's records to support their claims.
H. Cristina Chen-Oster, right, and Shana Orlich at their lawyer's office in New York in 2010. The women asked a federal judge today to let them turn their lawsuit against Goldman Sachs into a class action. They accuse the bank of creating a 'boy's club' atmosphere of binge drinking and strip clubs
Goldman Sachs is accused of creating a culture where women are either 'sexualized or ignored.' Pictured here is Goldman Sachs Tower in Jersey City, New Jersey
'Women report a "boy's club" atmosphere, where binge drinking is common and women are either sexualized or ignored,' the filing states.
Ms Chen-Oster and Ms Orlich sued Goldman back in 2010 for unspecified damages and an order requiring the firm to fix the alleged gender bias. With today's filing, they hope broaden their case to include more than a decade of claimed discrimination at the firm, Bloomberg News reported.
Goldman Sachs has denied their claims and is fighting the lawsuit.
'This is a normal and anticipated procedural step for any proposed class action lawsuit and does not change the case's lack of merit,' spokesman David Wells said today in an e-mailed statement.
Edith Cooper, global head of human capital management for Goldman Sachs, is the only woman among the firm's 10 executive officers. She's shown here during a Bloomberg Television interview in 2012
In it the suit, the two claimed female vice presidents earned 21 per cent less than men and female associates 8 per cent less. They also said Goldman promoted 23 per cent fewer female vice presidents to managing director relative to their male counterparts.
Edith Cooper, global head of human
capital management at Goldman, is the only woman among the firm's 10
executive officers. She was named the 26th most powerful woman in New
York by Crain's New York Business in 2013.
Goldman didn't elevate a woman to partner until 1986, according to Forbes, 117 years after it was founded.
Denise Shelley, a former vice president at Goldman who left the firm in 2009, said in a separate court filing that men at the bank repeatedly called women 'bimbos', mocked a new employee who won a beauty pageant and took clients to strip clubs.
Ms Shelley, who sat on the steering committee of Goldman's network for women, said in the filing that she was called a 'party girl' by a managing director after joining colleagues at a bar.
Ms Chen-Oster and Ms Orlich are asking U.S. District Judge Analisa Tores to certify a class of female associaties and vice presidents who worked for Goldman in its investment banking, investment management and securities divisions beginning September 10, 2004.
The case is Chen-Oster v. Goldman Sachs & Co., 10-cv-06950, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
In their 2010 lawsuit, Orlich and Chen-Oster seek unspecified damages and an order requiring Goldman to fix the alleged gender bias at the firm

We love blogs and magazines about design. We love Pinterest and Houzz. We love catalogues even from stores we don't like because we love to see how they style their products. We watch HGTV all the time. But let's face it there are only so many hours in the day. At some point the laundry has to get done, a trip to the gym is crucial and nobody is cooking you dinner.
So in the spirit of Twitter and Instagram we are shortening our blog. Less talk, more action. Because we have been furniture shopping for almost 30 years we have a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn't.
Let's start with the foyer. You need a:
1. Cupboard or Table with Drawers. Drawers are essential because that is where you stash your keys and hide the bills.
2. Mirror. Usually foyers are dark and mirrors add light. Also a great help to make sure you are zipped and groomed before leaving the house.
3. Lamp or two. See point #2--light is essential. Plus lamps are pretty.
4. A rug of some sort to absorb the dirt--this should be as dark as possible or inexpensive so you can toss when it gets trashed.
The idea here is to present a good first impression and prevent the stop and drop stuff upon entry. The cupboard and mirror we're showing are quite large. Scale down accordingly--
if you are in an apartment it might be just a mirror and a shelf.
Now go to the beach.
|Parson's style table with drawers, porcelain vase and lamps.
With extra baskets to catch the overflow this makes a foyer function.

Legitimate State Secrets Extremely Rare
The website WikiLeaks has published an Afghan War Diary which contains over 91,000 reports documenting our abject failure and totally reprehensible inhumane behavior in Afghanistan. The founder of this invaluable source of information, Julian Assange, granted Der Spiegelan interview. The magazine asked him if any state secrets were lawful and Assange replied that "there is a legitimate role for secrecy, and there is a legitimate role for openness. Unfortunately, those who commit abuses against humanity or against the law find abusing legitimate secrecy to conceal their abuse all too easy. People of good conscience have always revealed abuses by ignoring abusive strictures. It is not WikiLeaks that decides to reveal something. It is a whistleblower or a dissident who decides to reveal it. Our job is to make sure that these individuals are protected, the public is informed and the historical record is not denied."

First off, I've only come here for the Sunday brunch. Secondly, don't come here if you're already hungry. The wait to be seated on Sunday mornings have been an hour on average for me. Then you'll have the waiting time for the food to be made as well, as this place gets ridiculously crowded, rain or shine!
Aside from the long wait, the food is good and the servings are large! I recommend the breakfast po-boy sandwich, the fried chicken and waffle, and cathead or something similar to that. I tried finding that last item on their online menu, but their website is in the process of being redone.
Our server was really nice and professional, checking on us periodically and never interrupting us during conversation. She made sure we had a great experience. =)

New Products
The new book Debugging with GDB/DDD by Norman Matloff and P.J. Salzman, published by No Starch Press, highlights the importance of debugging to successful software development. Focusing on GDB, a popular open-source debugger, the book shows developers how to reduce the time they spend finding and fixing programming errors. Debugging's approach is to apply a range of real-world coding errors, from simple typos to major logical blunders, to illustrate how to manage memory, understand core dumps and trace programming errors to their root causes. The book also covers topics missing from other debugging books, such as threaded, server/client, GUI and parallel programming.
Fresh out of beta is Cohesive Flexible Technologies' Elastic Server On-Demand (ESOD) Community Edition virtualization platform. The product is a free Internet platform for independent developers and individual enterprise developers to take advantage of virtualization and cloud computing utilities like Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud. Users can "take their application stack 'recipes', capture them, and reproduce them as virtual servers rapidly and automatically", says CohesiveFT's CTO. The firm claims to be the "first service to offer developers and operations complete control of their server assembly, independent of which virtualization or cloud technology they require." The ESOD Community Edition is free to use and is intended for individual developers and noncommercial, nonproduction use.
Adding to its rich portfolio of debugging tools, TotalView Technologies has released Workbench Manager, an application that allows developers to create an integrated, cohesive view of the development and debugging work-flow process. One can manage any version of TotalView Debugger, MemoryScape memory debugger and any third-party application used for development and debugging, all from a single dashboard-like GUI. As a result, you easily can integrate both commercial and open-source tools in your toolchain. TotalView Technologies' products can be used to debug Linux, Mac OS X and UNIX applications running on development machines with single, dual-core, multicore or multiple processors.
A book on a specific Linux topic typically means it's on the cusp of breaking out. Such is the case with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the focus of the new book Desktop GIS: Mapping the Planet with Open Source Tools by Gary E. Sherman and the Pragmatic Bookshelf. The book's purpose is to help you deal with the issues involved in assembling your GIS toolkit, such as choosing the right platform and tools, dealing with integration issues and getting support. Sherman introduces the main open-source applications, such as GRASS, Quantum GIS, uDig and others, and also delves into scripting with various languages. The author is the founder of the Quantum GIS Project.
New on the development scene are SoftIntegration's Ch 6.0 and Embedded Ch 6.0, interpreters for cross-platform scripting, 2-D/3-D plotting, numerical computing, shell programming and embedded scripting. New features in v6.0 include debugging capability, a user-friendly IDE for teaching/learning programming (in the Professional Edition) and new plotting features, including multiple coordinates and new plotting types. Ch and Embedded Ch are available for Linux x86, Linux PPC, Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris, HP-UX, FreeBSD and QNX Neutrino RTOS.
ADLINK Technology has just beefed up your options for network security, adding the ALS-3206 Rackmount Network Security Platform to its solutions palette. The ALS-3206 series is billed as a flexible, mid-range, cost-effective solution for IDS, IPS, UTM, firewall, VPN gateway, load balancing and traffic-mining applications. The line further supports several Intel processors and chipsets and provides six gigabit Ethernet ports, one PCI extension slot and two configurable PCI-X slots. One of the PCI-X extension slots can be configured to extend a four-port gigabit Ethernet card and the other to extend a network security accelerator. This combination of features is suited, says ADLINK, for antivirus software security, content security and PKI software applications.

Here's one to make Cleveland fans shake their heads: A partial owner of the hated Pittsburgh Steelers is buying the Browns.
A person with knowledge of the sale told The Associated Press on Thursday that Browns owner Randy Lerner has reached a deal to sell the team to Tennessee truck-stop magnate Jimmy Haslam III _ a minority stockholder in the rival Steelers.
Lerner will sell 70 percent of the Browns to Haslam now, with the other 30 percent reverting to him four years after the closing date, the person said on condition of anonymity because the sale has not officially been announced.
Haslam was expected to be introduced as the new owner at a news conference on Friday.
While the papers have been signed, the NFL still must approve the sale. Approval from 24 of the 32 teams is required, and no date has been set for a vote because the sale has not been presented to the league yet. The person said approval is expected by the end of September.
ESPN reported the sale price was more than $1 billion. For comparison, the Miami Dolphins sold at a value of more than $1 billion in 2009.
The Browns were valued at $977 million last year by Forbes magazine, 20th in the NFL.
Asked about Haslam last week, Browns President Mike Holmgren said: "He is a very impressive man when you read about him, and people that I have talked to who know him say he is a tremendous guy."
Lerner, whose family has owned the franchise since it returned to the NFL in 1999, first announced he was in negotiations to sell the club last week. The late Al Lerner, Randy's father, purchased the franchise from the NFL in 1998 for $530 million after the original Browns moved to Baltimore in 1996 and became the Ravens. The elder Lerner died in 2002.
Randy Lerner also is the owner of Aston Villa, a club in the English Premier League.
The expansion Browns entered the NFL in 1999 and have made the playoffs once, a 2002 first-round loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. They've had only two winning records in 13 seasons and are 68-140 since they returned.
Even with a string of failures on the field, the value of the Browns _ like other NFL franchises _ keeps increasing, boosted by broadcast income. The league agreed in December to nine-year contracts with CBS, Fox and NBC that run through the 2022 season and will boost revenue from the $1.93 billion last season to $3.1 billion by 2022. The NFL reached an eight-year extension with ESPN last year through the 2021 season that increases the rights fee from $1.1 billion to $1.9 billion annually.
Haslam has been a minority investor in the Steelers since 2008, and is the president and CEO of Pilot Flying J, the largest operator of travel centers and travel plazas in North America. He is the older brother of Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam.
According to a 2010 profile on Steelers.com, Haslam has been a Dallas Cowboys and then an Indianapolis Colts fan. But with the Pittsburgh investment, Haslam said he had become "1,000 percent a Steelers fan."
The Haslam brothers are supporters of the University of Tennessee, where their father Jim Haslam played tackle on the 1951 national championship football team under Gen. Robert R. Neyland, who built the Volunteers into a football powerhouse.

I too think this mascara could be great, but it smudges so badly that I just can't use it. I love the packaging. The brush wand is great and my eyelashes look great when freshly applied - but don't even think about blinking!!

This mascara would be absolutely amazing if it weren't for the fact that it smudges. The wand is a perfect size, application is easy, the mascara itself is the perfect consistency (not too dry, not too liquidy) and it really does work--upon application, my lashes look FABULOUS, full, long, perfectly separated...and I am definitely not blessed with good eyelashes naturally. However, a couple of hours into the day I look like I've been out all night, gotten wasted, and not washed off my eye makeup. Benefit, change your formula, your product is almost perfect!!!

People who live in humid/warm climates: Do Not Purchase. After an hour of applying (1 coat), a friend let me know that I had mascara all over my eye area. I couldn't believe it since this was not a cheap mascara. Even the $1.99 nonbrand mascara I bought at the discount store doesn't smudge like this. The only thing I like about the mascara was the wand because its huge and it coats and separates each lash but its useless if the mascara is going to smudge all over your face

I found the wand difficult to manoeuver, and could never seem to reach my outer lashes without getting the mascara on my eye lid. Otherwise, I'd say it's pretty good but not any better than cheaper brands!

I got this as part of the "Lash Stash" from Sephora and maybe they are just all dry or something but I found that it took me several coats before I could even really see it on my lashes. I will give it another chance, but the brush was huge and I couldn't coat all of my lashes adequately. I really love my Dior black out the most anyway.

I have nothing but good things to say about this mascara!! I recently bought my first tube a month or two ago, and I'll never buy another mascara, I swear it!! It has a GIGANTIC brush that really gets the mascara on your lashes, and it makes them really pop! The color is super black, it has never clumped or run on my face, and the look is dramatic and sexy...just what I want in my daily mascara! Perfect.

This was my every day mascara for about a year. I think its great, it makes lashes look full and natural. i've just found something better for me (too faced lash injection). This mascara is a nice black colour, the wand is big and it took some getting used too, but now i prefer it. This really thickens without looking clumpy. The only problem i found with this mascara is that on hot days it would leave black smudges under my eyes.

I used to really like this product. The first couple of times I used it I really loved the coverage it gave on my lashes. Was nice and thick and dramatic.However, after a couple of weeks it has become clumpy on the brush, impossible to put on, panda eyes, the works really! I know it is not out of date yet as I only got it in May and to be honest I am so disappointed that it has aged so poorly. Surely something which is quite expensive should last better.

I love this mascara. It really has a dramatic effect on my short, straight, sparse black eyelashes; it makes them look full, long, and thick. I have slept in this mascara before and have had minimal smudging. Despite trying other mascaras, I always come back to this one. That being said, I really don't think that mascara is an item for which reviews are useful, because the way it wears is so dependent on your own skin type/oiliness etc. I raved about this mascara so much that my sister-in-law ran out to buy it -- and gave it to me two days later. Even though I can wear this mascara for twenty-four hours and still look good, she had crazy smudgy racoon eyes after only a few hours! All I can say is go to Sephora, apply the sample, and wear it for a day before you make a decision, because that's the only way to really know which mascara will work well for you.

The bulky brush is a bit hard to use and takes some time to work at getting the mascara onto my lashes. It does keep lashes separate and doesn�t clump. It doesn�t hold a curl and it flakes off during the day. Buy something else.

The Unavoidable Politics of Disaster Recovery: Hurricane Katrina Offers Lessons on the Interaction of Technical Matters with Decisions That Distribute Benefits and Burdens
Krane, Dale, The Public Manager
In the two years following Hurricane Katrina, public bodies, journalists, professional associations, and university scholars have made numerous diagnoses of what went wrong before the storm made landfall and of the rescue and relief operations in its aftermath. Many of these critiques examine the shortcomings of government agencies and offices at all levels and arrive at a strikingly similar set of problems. The deficiencies include command and control, communication, coordination, equipment, infrastructure design, individual and organizational initiative, leadership, management, mission clarity, planning, shelter, supplies, transportation, and training. A second, separate set of critiques, while lamenting the administrative and technical failures, focuses on Katrina through the lens of politics. Here the indictments include diverted attention (by the occupation of Iraq), cronyism and patronage, class-based indifference to the poor, interest group maneuvering, local political culture, partisanship, racism, and turf wars. Unfortunately, the recovery phase is also rife with these political pathologies. Efforts to remedy the errors in response to Katrina cannot pretend, as some analyses and recommendations have, that the pursuit of political advantage somehow will be suspended. Understanding how technical matters interact with decisions that distribute benefits and burdens must also be part of learning the lessons Hurricane Katrina is teaching.
More Than Party Politics
Since Katrina struck, the drumbeat of claims that partisan politics drove the decisions and actions of public officials has been nearly continuous, and in some instances, considerable evidence supports these indictments. Some allegations have gained national notoriety-for example, the struggle over federalization of the National Guard engaged in by Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco and President Bush, former national Republican chairman and Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour's ability to obtain large amounts of federal aid for his state, the patronage appointments of former Republican campaign staff members to positions in the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and cuts in federal funds for Mississippi River levees justified as part of an ideological strategy "to starve the beast" of government.
As every public manager knows (from experience), the implementation of public programs such as disaster relief and reconstruction are shaped by politics that transcends bald-faced partisanship. Implementation entails assembling program elements and moving them through multiple bureaucratic-political layers to deliver goods and services to intended citizen beneficiaries. In the complex interactions among individuals and organizations that must be brought together, public managers face a variety of administrative, legal, and technical issues. The effectiveness of existing policies such as the Stafford Act and National Response Plan depends on choices made during the implementation process, where the discretion available to elected and administrative officials creates the potential for success or failure. As officials translate policy into operational terms, their actions may achieve the legislature's intent, exceed expectations, fall short, or in some cases, miss the mark altogether.
Because politics does not stop with the adoption of a policy or program, implementation is not a process characterized solely by rational technical decisions; in stead, the various stakeholders who contended over the design of the policy continue to wrestle over its execution and are joined by other interested parties. The political jockeying during implementation poses several problems for effectiveness, primarily because the pursuit of particular goals may work against the goals as articulated in legislative intent. Although there are many ways to think about how politics beyond the usual partisan actions of Democrats and Republicans shapes implementation, one can identify at least four other types that affect it. …

"data mining" entries
Demographics are dead: the new, technical face of marketing
Technology has changed the way we understand targeting and contextual relevance. How will marketing adapt?
Over the past five years, marketing has transformed from a primarily creative process into an increasingly data-driven discipline with strong technological underpinnings.
The central purpose of marketing hasn't changed: brands still aim to tell a story, to emotionally connect with a prospective customer, with the goal of selling a product or service. But while the need to tell an interesting, authentic story has remained constant, customers and channels have fundamentally changed. Old Marketing took a spray-and-pray approach aimed at a broad, passive audience: agencies created demographic or psychographic profiles for theoretical consumers and broadcast ads on mass-consumption channels, such as television, print, and radio. "Targeting" was primarily about identifying high concentrations of a given consumer type in a geographic area.
The era of demographics is over. Advances in data mining have enabled marketers to develop highly specific profiles of customers at the individual level, using data drawn from actual personal behavior and consumption patterns. Now when a brand tells a story, it has the ability to tailor the narrative in such a way that each potential customer finds it relevant, personally. Users have become accustomed to this kind of sophisticated targeting; broad-spectrum advertising on the Internet is now essentially spam. At the same time, there is still a fine line between "well-targeted" and "creepy." Read more…
Protecting US reporters' records, data mining tools, and congressional acronym abuse
Notes and links from the data journalism beat
It seems that new data journalism tools are being released every day. The latest data journalism tools include: CivOmega, a modular prototype for government data that allows developers to plug in their own APIs and Fact Tank, a new data journalism platform from the Pew Research Center. Also, for journalists in the US concerned about protecting their own personal data, government investigators now face more hurdles when seeking a reporter's records. And for a little data journalism levity, check out the latest project from Noah Veltman, a data journalism fellow at the BBC. Veltman used the GovTrack Bulk data API, SQL and Python to conduct a self-described "overly in-depth analysis" of Congressional Acronym Abuse from 1973 to the present.

The idea of "a Siri or Wolfram Alpha for government data" — something that can connect natural language queries with multfaceted datasets — had been kicking around in the mind of MIT Media Lab and Knight-Mozilla veteran Dan Schultz ever since a Knight Foundation-sponsored election-year brainstorming session in 2011.
- Introducing Fact Tank: An Interview with Pew Research Center President Alan Murray (Data Driven Journalism)
Obviously, we collect vast amounts of data, about demographics, about a variety of issues – we are basically a data shop. In the past, most of the dissemination of our data has been done through existing media. But we also felt it was important for us to get our own data relating to news events out to the public more quickly and more directly. Additionally, we also felt it was important for us to play a role in aggregating data sets which we can then present ourselves."
Strata Week: Why we should care about what the NSA may or may not be doing
Response to NSA data mining and the troubling lack of technical details, Facebook's Open Compute data center, and local police are growing their own DNA databases.
It's a question of power, not privacy — and what is the NSA really doing?In the wake of the leaked NSA data-collection programs, the Pew Research Center conducted a national survey to measure American's response. The survey found that 56% of respondents think NSA's telephone record tracking program is an acceptable method to investigate terrorism, and 62% said the government's investigations into possible terrorist threats are more important than personal privacy.
Rebecca J. Rosen at The Atlantic took a look at legal scholar Daniel J. Solove's argument that we should care about the government's collection of our data, but not for the reasons one might think — the collection itself, he argues, isn't as troubling as the fact that they're holding the data in perpetuity and that we don't have access to it. Rosen quotes Solove:
"The NSA program involves a massive database of information that individuals cannot access. … This kind of information processing, which forbids people's knowledge or involvement, resembles in some ways a kind of due process problem. It is a structural problem involving the way people are treated by government institutions. Moreover, it creates a power imbalance between individuals and the government. … This issue is not about whether the information gathered is something people want to hide, but rather about the power and the structure of government."
The 0th Law of Data Mining
Preview of The Laws of Data Mining Session at Strata Santa Clara 2013
Many years ago I was taught about the three laws of thermodynamics. When that didn't stick, I was taught a quick way to remember originally identified by C.P. Snow:
- 1st Law: you can't win
- 2nd Law: you can't draw
- 3rd Law: you can't get out of the game
These laws (well the real ones) were firmly established by the mid 19th century. Yet, it wasn't until the 1930s that the value of the 0th law was identified.
At Strata I'm going to be talking about the 9 Laws of Data Mining – a set of principles identified by Tom Khabaza and very closely related to the CRISP-DM data mining methodology.
They may possibly, just possibly, not be as important as the laws of thermodynamics, but at Strata they will be supported by an equally important 0th Law.
Strata Week: Political data mining "bait-and-switch"
Inaugural 2013 app has plans for your data, the "unprecedented" security issues of the Internet of Things, and optical switches speed up data centers.
Here are a few stories from the data space that caught my attention this week.
Inaugural 2013 app takes as much as it gives
The Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) launched the first official inaugural smartphone app, Inaugural 2013 (for iOS and for Android), Monday. Daniel Strauss reports in a post at The Hill that inauguration attendees can use the app to locate and RSVP to events, watch events via livestream, and navigate the event with an interactive map.
What isn't front and center in the pomp and circumstance of the shiny new app are the terms of service and the privacy statement. Steve Friess at Politico points out that in the fine print, users are giving the PIC permission to share their data — phone numbers, email, home addresses, and GPS location data, for instance — "with candidates, organizations, groups or causes that [the PIC] believe have similar political viewpoints, principles or objectives."
Gregory Ferenstein reports at TechCrunch that "privacy advocates find it troubling that the fine-print on the PIC's website says it can use activity data 'without limitation in advertising, fundraising and other communications in support of PIC and the principles of the Democratic party, without any right of compensation or attribution.'"
Strata Week: Big data's big future
Big data in 2013, and beyond; the Sunlight Foundation's new data mining app; and the growth of our planet's central nervous system.
Here are a few stories from the data space that caught my attention this week.
Big data will continue to be a big deal
"Big data" became something of a buzz phrase in 2012, with its role in the US Presidential election, and businesses large and small starting to realize the benefits and challenges of mountains upon zettabytes of data — so much so that NPR's linguist contributor Geoff Nunberg thinks it should have been the phrase of the year.
Nunberg says that though "it didn't get the wide public exposure given to items like 'frankenstorm,' 'fiscal cliff' and YOLO," and might not have been "as familiar to many people as 'Etch A Sketch' and '47 percent'" were during the election, big data has become a phenomenon affecting our lives: "It's responsible for a lot of our anxieties about intrusions on our privacy, whether from the government's anti-terrorist data sweeps or the ads that track us as we wander around the Web." He also notes that big data has transformed statistics into "a sexy major" and predicts the term will long outlast "Gangnam Style." (You can read Nunberg's full case for big data at NPR.)

Strata Week: Big data's daily influence
Big data's broad effect on our world, myriad uses for traffic data, and Obama's big data practice vs. policy.
Here are a few stories from the data space that caught my attention this week.
How big data is transforming just about everything
Professor John Naughton took a look this week at how big data is transforming various industries that affect our daily lives.
He highlights finance, of course, which he says has been "pathologically mathematised;" marketing, for which there is more data about human behavior than we've ever had; and the very broad category of science. Naughton notes that researchers used to conjure up theories and look to data to support or refute; now, researchers turn to data to find patterns and connections that might inspire new theories. Naughton also looks at medicine, which is just on the brink of delving into the big data realm. He writes:
"Last week's news about how Cambridge researchers stopped an MRSA outbreak affecting 12 babies in the Rosie Hospital by rapidly sequencing the genome of the bacteria illustrates how medicine has become a data-intensive field. Even a few years ago, the resources required to achieve this would have involved a roomful of computers and upwards of a week."
Naughton addresses the use of big data in sports as well, speculating that baseball has been the sport most transformed by data. He'll likely find agreement there. Barry Eggers goes into depth on the dramatic effect big data is having on baseball over at TechCrunch. He notes that simple data analysis of statistics, which baseball has embraced since its beginnings, has evolved into gathering mountains of unstructured data and employing Hadoop to gain new and better insights from data that isn't part of the structured game information. Eggers writes:
"By having his data scientist run a Hadoop job before every game, [San Francisco Giants manager] Bruce Bochy can not only make an informed decision about where to locate a 3-1 Matt Cain pitch to Prince Fielder, but he can also predict how and where the ball might be hit, how much ground his infielders and outfielders can cover on such a hit, and thus determine where to shift his defense. Taken one step further, it's not hard to imagine a day where managers like Bochy have their locker room data scientist run real-time, in-game analytics using technologies like Cassandra, Hbase, Drill, and Impala."
Strata Week: Data mining for votes
Candidates are data mining behind the scenes, data mining gets a PR campaign, Google faces privacy policy issues, and Hadoop and BI.
Here are a few stories from the data space that caught my attention this week.
Presidential candidates are mining your data
Data is playing an unprecedented role in the US presidential election this year. The two presidential campaigns have access to personal voter data "at a scale never before imagined," reports Charles Duhigg at the New York Times. The candidate camps are using personal data in polling calls, accessing such details as "whether voters may have visited pornography Web sites, have homes in foreclosure, are more prone to drink Michelob Ultra than Corona or have gay friends or enjoy expensive vacations," Duhigg writes. He reports that both campaigns emphasized they were committed to protecting voter privacy, but notes:
"Officials for both campaigns acknowledge that many of their consultants and vendors draw data from an array of sources — including some the campaigns themselves have not fully scrutinized."
A Romney campaign official told Duhigg: "You don't want your analytical efforts to be obvious because voters get creeped out. A lot of what we're doing is behind the scenes."
The "behind the scenes" may be enough in itself to creep people out. These sorts of situations are starting to tarnish the image of the consumer data-mining industry, and a Manhattan trade group, the Direct Marketing Association, is launching a public relations campaign — the "Data-Driven Marketing Institute" — to smooth things over before government regulators get involved. Natasha Singer reports at the New York Times:
"According to a statement, the trade group intends to promote such targeted marketing to lawmakers and the public 'with the goal of preventing needless regulation or enforcement that could severely hamper consumer marketing and stifle innovation' as well as 'tamping down unfavorable media attention.' As part of the campaign, the group plans to finance academic research into the industry's economic impact, said Linda A. Woolley, the acting chief executive of the Direct Marketing Association."
One of the biggest issues, Singer notes, is that people want control over their data. Chuck Teller, founder of Catalog Choice, told Singer that in a recent survey conducted by his company, 67% of people responded that they wanted to see the data collected about them by data brokers and 78% said they wanted the ability to opt out of the sale and distribution of that data.

Birds in Florida, USA
Oysters & scallops in Crystal River, Florida
Mermaids are alive and well in Florida!
Weeki Wachee Springs is a very, very small 'city' with a population of 4. It's also a Florida state park and 'the world's only city of live mermaids' who perform in the Underwater Theatre which was built into the limestone of the spring in 1947.
When the curtains parted, the sun shone into the turquoise spring, and schools of small fish and turtles swam into view. Then, from some deeper part of the spring a mermaid swam up to the glass in a mermaid tail. Waving and smiling, she swam the entire width of the glass without appearing to need to breathe. However, at some 6 metres deep, the free-divers have air hoses to get their oxygen. I was amazed at how they used the hoses, which just float in the water in between them breathing from them, and I was anxious they would find them and get to breath.
While I was a little dubious about visiting this attraction I found it fascinating about how it was done. I'm not a diver so this is not something I would ever try to do – especially when I find out they have to down a long pipe to get into the pool: I'd panic!
These are natural spring, some 50 metres deep, which feed the Weeki Wachee River, which pumps huge quantities of fresh water into the Gulf of Mexico daily. The state's goal is to keep the spring and the river healthy, and I heard someone say ' it's debatable how much the show helps environmental efforts'.
Mermaids are said to be aquatic creatures with the upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish – appearing in the myths worldwide. Sightings of them are now thought to have been sirenia (a biological order comprising dugongs and manatees) and the sightings by sailors were really encounters with these aquatic mammals. Although Christopher Columbus reported seeing mermaids while exploring the Caribbean so I may be wrong!
Mermaids of course have been a popular subject of art and literature in recent centuries – for instance Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 fairy tale The Little Mermaid where a young mermaid falls in love with a human prince whom she saves from drowning when his ship was wrecked. A world-famous statue, based on Andersen's fairy tale, has been in Copenhagen, Denmark for over 100 years.
As well as watching the mermaid show, we also went on a short trip on the river with its extremely clear water. I believe canoes can be hired too.
Kate Sheppard: suffrage hero or that bloody woman?
Christchurch in particular is proud that local woman, Kate Sheppard, was the leader and figurehead of the suffrage movement that resulted in a petition that ensured all New Zealand woman were able to vote from 1893.
New Zealand is the first country in the world to give women the vote: married, single, migrant, indigenous, poor, rich, with or without land, working or not – all women were able to vote with the passing of the 1893 Electoral Bill.
Notice we kiwi did not use the word 'suffragettes' as we'd the vote some twenty years before that term was coined!
Born to Scottish parents, Kate came to New Zealand in 1868 with her widowed mother, and New Zealand honours her by having her image on our ten-dollar note.
Every Suffrage Day, 19th September, a few women gather at the Christchurch memorial panel to pay tribute to all those wonderful women by placing white camellias and purple balloons on this inner city sculpture. Note this is at the corner of Worcester Boulevard & Cambridge Terrace – although with post-quake (2010/11) plans it may be moved.
A punk rock musical about her struggles with the Prime Minister (Seddon) has recently been performed at the Christchurch Festival .. called That Bloody Woman, it had good reviews so I look forward to seeing it soon – apparently some were initially 'shocked at the opening scenes' when her sexual behaviour was exposed but 'this quickly abated as the story developed' I was told.
The memorial was unveiled in 1993, the 100th anniversary of this historic event. It has six women on it with Kate Sheppard holding the petition in a wheelbarrow which is how the petition was delivered to the steps of Parliament in Wellington. The side panels show women in typical everyday (1893) settings – gathering shellfish, teaching, factory sewing, farming, caring for families and nursing. These are flanked by bronze panels telling the New Zealand suffrage story.
Here are more pictures about one of our favourite kiwi women.
Three cheers to 'that bloody woman' I say!
Kuching Wetlands National Park
Only 15 km from Kuching (and 5 km from the Damai Beach Resort (where I have stayed three times while at the magical, annual Rainforest World Music Festival) is the Kuching Wetlands National Park (2002) in the estuarine reaches of two rivers.
It's also where I have twice planted mangrove trees as part of the "Greening of the Festival" which Sarawak Tourism does with all the festivals it hosts, helping offset the carbon I've spent getting to Malaysian Borneo.
The park is a mostly saline mangrove system of many waterways and tidal creeks connecting the two major rivers that form the boundaries of the park.
An important spawning and nursery ground for fish and prawn species and it also has a wide diversity of wildlife, including proboscis monkeys, long-tailed macaque monkeys, silver-leaf monkeys, monitor lizards, estuarine crocodiles and a range of bird life, including kingfishers, white-bellied sea eagles and shore birds, including the rare lesser adjutant stork. In 2005 Malaysia designated the park as a Ramsar site, a wetland of international importance.
To explore this park you need to travel on the river and a number of tour operators offer coastal and river cruises in and around the park.
To read more about eco-tourism in Malaysian Borneo see my small book (A love letter to Malaysian Borneo or, can this travel writer be green) which has been entered in the Malaysian Tourism 2015 Awards.
Kiwi travel writer proves she is 'not a sucker'
Many thanks to Rash (Jo's Bamboo Cuisine) who really tried hard to teach me to get the insides out of these native snail while at the Sarawak Cultural Village and the Rainforest World Music Festival (#RWMF) earlier this month.
While she and other locals made it seem so easy, it became very obvious I need to practise sucking more, or, carry a pin to winkle them out next time!
"It's easy, just suck, then eat." As she also told me … they're like rubbery chewing gum!

"Money is a failed concept because of humans unpredictable and bizarre behavior. Life is about behavior."

A great inside view to one of my (and America's) favorite bands. It is interesting to know some of the "dirt" that happened during Don's stay with the band. But, now that I know it, I wish I didn't. It changes my view of the members and not in a good way.
