Use secure networks
It's good to be extra careful whenever you go online using a network you don't know or trust – like using the free Wi-Fi at your local cafe. The service provider can monitor all traffic on their network, which could include your personal information.
However, if you are using a service that encrypts your connection to the web service, it can make it much more difficult for someone to snoop on your activity. By default, we encrypt the Gmail connection between your computer and Google – this helps protect your Google activity from being snooped on by others. We also make this protection, known as session-wide SSL encryption, the default when you're signed into Google Drive and many other services.
Check for signals about your connection with the website when you surf the web.
First, look at the address bar in your browser to see if the URL looks real. You should also check to see if the web address begins with https:// – which signals that your connection to the website is encrypted and more resistant to snooping or tampering. Some browsers also include a padlock icon in the address bar beside https:// to indicate more clearly that your connection is encrypted and you are more securely connected.
When you connect through a public Wi-Fi network, anyone in the vicinity can monitor the information passing between your computer and the Wi-Fi hotspot if your connection is not encrypted. Avoid doing important activities like banking or shopping over public networks.
If you use Wi-Fi at home, you should make sure you use a password to secure your router. Just follow the instructions provided by your Internet Service Provider or router manufacturer to set your own password for the router instead of using the router default password, which may be known to criminals. If criminals are able to access your router, they can change your settings and snoop on your online activity.
Finally, you should also make sure to secure your home Wi-Fi network so other people can't use it for an added layer of security. This means setting up a password to protect your Wi-Fi network – and just like with other passwords you choose, make sure that you pick a long, unique mix of numbers, letters and symbols so others can't easily guess your password. You should choose the WPA2 setting when you configure your network for more advanced protection.

Make your Google Account even more secure
You can add an extra layer of security to your Google Account by enabling 2-step verification. If you have 2-step verification turned on, Google will send a passcode to your mobile phone when someone tries to sign into your account from an unfamiliar computer. This means that if someone steals or guesses your password, the potential attacker still can't sign in to your account because they don't have your phone. Now you can protect yourself with something you know (your password) and something you have (your phone).
Browse the web in private
You can use Incognito Mode in the Chrome browser on your computer, tablet, or phone to browse the web privately. In Incognito Mode, the pages you visit and files you download aren't recorded in Chrome's browsing or download history.

Booksellers cry foul at VAT hike on literature
Latest update : 2011-12-09
French booksellers are worrying that a hike in VAT will drive another nail in the coffin of France's cherished network of independent retailers.
Books have always been prized in France, a nation that has produced more Nobel literature laureates than any other country.
And because of strict price controls, France also has one of the most diverse retail networks in the world.
But the announcement that VAT will go up on all but the most essential items – and books are deemed non-essential – has terrified France's independent booksellers.
The tax, currently at the reduced rate of 5.5%, is due to go up to 7% at the beginning of 2012, adding 30 centimes to the price of a 20-euro paperback.
And while the rise is hardly astronomical – VAT is at 19.6% for most other non-essential items – bookshops fear that the government is recklessly leading an assault on their industry without considering the cultural consequences.
Philippe Leconte, who has been a bookseller for the last 27 years and runs a shop in Paris's 14th arrondissement, is furious.
"Everyone knows books are essential to life," he said. "And now the government wants them classified as luxury items. It is a catastrophe."
Leconte is happy to criticise French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who in September famously mispronounced the name of French literary theorist and philosopher Roland Barthes, and hints at a philistine disregard for literature in favour of more low-brow cultural activities.
"How can the country justify keeping the reduced VAT for entry to amusement parks, and then raise it on books?" he asked.
France has some 3,000 independent bookshops – a rarity in the developed world where big chain stores and the Internet have undercut the profits of the humble independent retailer.
Sylvia Whitman, who owns the English-language bookshop Shakespeare and Company opposite Notre Dame Cathedral in central Paris, worries that France, which has a long tradition of supporting booksellers, risks losing a valuable cultural asset.
"In the last 15 to 20 years in the UK, small bookshops have been closing down one after the other," she said. "We must not raise the cost of buying books if we don't want to see the same thing happening in France.
"Books should be affordable and accessible to everyone, and all our visitors say how lucky we are to have so many independent shops."
While retailers feel threatened, the very presence of a large network of independent stores is testament to legislation that actively protects literature from the ravages of chain stores and the Internet.
In place since 1981, the "Single Book-Price Law" stipulates that all books must sell at the price marked by the publisher.
In comparison, the UK (which imposes zero VAT on books), has no legislation to control prices. Chain stores and supermarkets often sell top titles at huge "loss leader" discounts to attract customers, a practice that has decimated the number of small bookshops in Britain.
In fact, French retail rules prohibit stores from selling any product at a loss outside of strictly proscribed "sales" periods.
"France is the only country in the world where booksellers made a profit from the Harry Potter series," said Philippe Leconte. "With the Single Book-Price law we can sell at the same level as the big stores, and people come to us because we can offer a personal service and advise people on what to buy because we understand their tastes."
The government is aware that booksellers are unhappy with the change and has launched a ministerial "mission to accompany the book sector through the transition to 7% VAT."
Culture Minister Frédéric Mitterrand and Budget Minister Valérie Pécresse said in a statement they were concerned about how the transition would impact the independent book retailers.
Leading the negotiations for the retailers is Guillaume Husson of the Syndicat de la Librairie Française trade union, who said he was determined to protect France's unique network of bookshops, which he described as the "most extensive in the world".
"This rise in VAT is a big surprise," he said. "There has always been a strong will by our politicians to protect the status of books and the health of the industry."
Asked if France's political class was falling out of love with the country's literature, Husson said there had been a noticeable shift.
"Until very recently we felt supported by the government. A rise in VAT on books would have been unimaginable. But here it is."

The Legal Landscape After MGM v. Grokster: Is it the Beginning of the End or the End of the Beginning?
I: Understanding the Context
Tomas A. Lipinski
A. Lipinski is associate professor and co-director of the Center for
Information Policy Research at the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He can be reached at P.O. Box 413,
Jack Blacks character in the recent movie School
of Rock instills
in his young charges, [I]n this life you cant win
the world is run by the man
there used to be a way to stick it
to the man, it was called rock n
but guess what, oh no the man ruined that too with a little
thing called MTV.
MTV as the epitome of everything that is wrong with the music
industry and you pretty much have the essence of the
philosophical-musical dichotomy between how the industry and
consumers each perceive the state of music. Jack Blacks
character, who poses as a substitute teacher at an elite preparatory
elementary school, further admonishes his students: If you want
to rock, you gotta break the rules, you gotta get mad at the man.
One battle in the war between the downloaders (consumers) and
the industry (the man) came to a head in the long-awaited
decision in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
Studios Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd.
The decision offers several important lessons for those with some
stake or interest in the continued battle between copyright owners
and copyright users or abusers.
article, the first of two, discusses the background legal principles
and surrounding case law involved in Grokster
and proceeds to review the holding of the decision and the facts on
which it was based.
readers are aware of the concept of copyright infringement. In
recent years one could hardly escape discussion of it, especially in
light of the publicity that lawsuits against individual file-sharers
generated in the national media. Philosophers among us might think
such strong-arm techniques against un-named defendants are unethical
or at least that responsibility for wrongdoing ought to be shared
with those who facilitate infringement and not the end-user alone.
Likewise, economists among the Bulletins
readership might wonder if the transaction cost of pursuing remedy
from some 12-year-old downloader or a college student struggling to
make ends meet is further proof of the market failure inherent in
the copyright law.
Actually, the copyright law reflects these same sorts of quandaries. The concept of secondary liability, in particular contributory infringement, reflects the judicial recognition that at times a third party should share in the responsibility for anothers primary or direct infringement and that pursuit of these actors is a fair and efficient form of risk-shifting within the law.
the concept is well developed in the lower courts, and one could
argue that a version is codified in the Copyright Act as amended
(17 U.S.C.§ 512) in 1998 by the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act,
the concept remains a product of the common law.
the Legal Context: Contributory Liability
copyright infringement occurs when one who, with knowledge of the
infringing activity, induces or causes, or materially contributes to
the infringement of another(Gershwin
Publishing Corp. v. Columbia Artists Management, Inc.,
443 F.2d 11 59, 1162 (2d Cir. 1971).
degree of knowledge that makes a person legally responsible for the
consequences of his or her act or omission; the fact of an acts having been done
knowingly, especially as a ground for civil damages or criminal
punishment p. 1373.
a result, a claim of contributory infringement contains an element
of knowledge; that is, the contributing or contributory infringer
must know or have reason to know that the infringing behavior of
another will be the result of its conduct. This requirement ensures
that accidental or ignorant conduct is not mistaken for bad intent.
Second, a contributory infringer must engage in conduct that
contributes to the direct infringement of another person in some
substantive way, by doing something or in some circumstances by
refusing to do something (for example, not intervening to prevent
continuing infringement). As with vicarious liability (another
species of secondary liability), if there is no direct infringement
there can be no contributory liability.
for Distributing Infringing Technologies: The Sony
the Sony
adopted from the patent laws staple article-of-commerce doctrine,
the Supreme Court in 1984 created a safe harbor for entrepreneurs:
simply because a product could be put to infringing use, the conduct
of producing and distributing the product (or refusing to cease such
operations) did not trigger liability as long as the technology
could be capable of substantial non-infringing use. Moreover in a
somewhat clairvoyant and telling footnote the Sony
observed that [t]his case involves only the home recording for
home use of television programs broadcast free over the airwaves. No
issue is raised concerning cable or pay television, or the sharing
or trading
of tapes
Corp. of America, Inc. v. Universal City Studios,
Thus the fair use the Supreme Court bored out in 1984 for consumers came in the form of time-shifting, not in the guise of all consumer recording such as library-building, back-up copying or transferring formats from cassette to CD or from CD to MP3 so-called space-shifting. In other words the protections of Sonys safe harbor for substantial non-infringing use do not apply in instances where the questionable activity involves the use (reproduction and distribution) of copyrighted content obtained from sources other than those offered for free through various mass media such as radio (but not fee-based Internet services) or broadcast television (as opposed to cable or satellite).
other words it applies where the facts of Sony
to consumers using the recording technology to tape movies and
other content that air on broadcast television networks such as NBC,
CBS and PBS.
1984, the Court used this distinction to develop a test to help
courts determine whether a certain technology contributes to the
infringement of others to such an extent that its producers should
be deemed to have engaged in contributory conduct and share in the
legal responsibility for infringing uses others make of it, that is,
be liable for contributory copyright infringement. The question for
the Court in Grokster
whether P2P is such a technology as well.
Seventh Circuit Standard: A Posnerian (Cost-Benefit) Approach to
years ago in a case involving another P2P system (In
re Aimster
the Seventh Circuit in an opinion authored by Judge Posner suggested
a variation of the application of contributory infringement concepts
where network technologies are involved: What is true is that
when a supplier is offering a product or service that has
non-infringing as well as infringing uses, some estimate of the
respective magnitudes of these is necessary for a finding of
contributory infringement
the balancing
of costs and benefits
is necessary only in a case in which substantial non-infringing
uses, present or prospective, are demonstrated [334 F.3d 643, 650
(7th Cir. 2003) (emphasis added)]. Under this relative
standard of cost (for example, policing network users or checking
the content of linked sites) and benefit (prevention of
infringement) a potential contributory infringer is liable only when
it would not be efficient for it to cease its contributory conduct
relative to the amount of infringement it would prevent, rather like
the old adage applied to the copyright law: an ounce of prevention
such as policing or monitoring to a pound of cure
(compliance). As a result
when there are non-infringing uses of an Internet file-sharing
service, moreover, if the infringing uses are substantial
then to avoid
as a contributory infringer the provider of the services must show
that it would have been disproportionately
costly for him to eliminate or at least reduce substantially the
infringing uses.--
Re Aimster Copyright Litigation,
334 F.3d 643, 653 (7th Cir. 2003) (all emphasis added).
this factor is to be applied is not further elucidated by the court,
nor is the attractiveness of this standard to courts outside the
Seventh Circuit determinable.
Ninth Circuit Decision in Grokster:
A Copyright Mea Culpa?
Ninth Circuit issued its decision in Grokster
the Aimster
case was decided
are mindful that the Seventh Circuit has read Sonys
non-infringing use standard differently
However, Aimster
premised specifically on a fundamental disagreement with Napster
Supreme Court Re-Affirms the Limits of the
question before the Court was under
what circumstances the distributor of a product capable of both
lawful and unlawful use is liable for acts of copyright infringement
by third parties using the product. While it might appear at
first glance that the opinion represents a retrenchment from Sony,
it is clear from Justice Souters opinion that the rule and safe
to Justice Souter, One infringes contributorily by intentionally
inducing or encouraging direct infringement.
under our jurisprudence may be predicated on actively encouraging
(or inducing) infringement through specific acts (as the Courts
opinion develops) or on distributing a product distributees use to
infringe copyrights, if the product is not capable of
substantial or commercially significant non-infringing
uses. (Ginsburg,
J., concurring)
intended impact will be to deter them [entrepreneurs] from
distributing products that have no other real function than or
that are specifically intended for copyright infringement,
deterrence that the Courts holding today reinforces (by adding a
weapon to the copyright holders legal arsenal).
(Breyer, J., concurring)
is the first point of significance in the opinion. The Court is more
than willing to fashion a remedy if it believes a wrong must be
righted. Moreover, the Court may look to other regimes within the
intellectual property system, even if it means creating a new form
of liability, such as borrowing again from the patent law.
a result of the Courts opinion, the Ninth Circuit decision in the
Grokster case was vacated and remanded for further proceedings. The
immediate significance is that Grokster and StreamCast (the two defendants in the case), as
well as other similarly situated defendants, may be subject to
secondary liability for copyright infringement if those defendants
a device with the object of promoting its use to infringe copyright,
as shown by clear expression or other affirmative steps taken to
foster infringement, [if supported by the evidence, the defendant]
is liable for the resulting acts of infringement by third
parties. Figuring the impact of this ruling requires a closer
look at the opinion, examining what the Court said as well as what
the Court left unsaid!
Closer Look at the Evidence (At Least as the Court Saw It)
copyright infringement issues surrounding Napster, Grokster and
Aimster and whatever subsequent next-ster there is did
not arise by accident. In fact,
Grokster attempted to ride the coattails of Napsters customer
base exploitation
likewise contributed to subsequent infringing activities of those
customers. Groksters
name is apparently derived from Napster, it too initially offered an
OpenNap program,
its softwares function is likewise comparable to Napsters, and
it attempted to divert queries for Napster onto its own Web site.
Unlike the lower courts,
the Supreme Court found ample evidence of the defendants unsavory
conduct scattered throughout the hundreds and hundreds of pages of
the appellate record of which both Justice Souter and Justice
Ginsburg made liberal quote, reference and use. It did not take an
expert witness to calculate the scale of the infringement:
MGMs evidence gives reason to think that the vast majority of
users downloads are acts of infringement, and because well over
100 million copies of the software in question are known to have
been downloaded, and billions of files are shared across the
FastTrack and Gnutella networks each month, the probable scope of
copyright infringement is staggering.
evidence weighed heavily against the defendants and the infringing
nature of most downloading and uploading.
Court appeared less concerned with the fact that some amount of
non-infringing material appeared on Grokster and StreamCast systems
(or P2P systems in general for that matter) or that this material is
put to noninfringing
uses. Of greater concern was the fact that this noninfringing
material accounts for very little of the actual use made of the
available material. The Court was not persuaded by arguments that
Grokster, StreamCast and similar P2P systems are widely put to
legitimate uses
the Court based its theory of liability on a concept heretofore
foreign to the copyright law, that is, articulating the inducement
rule as an exception to the Sony
harbor substantial-noninfringing-use
rule, the Court nonetheless displayed disdain (as well as a certain
hipness) for the argument that such noninfringing
capabilities are realistic, given the current Gen-X mindset:
Morpheus [u]sers seeking Top 40 songs, for example, or the latest
release by Modest Mouse, are certain to be far more numerous than
those seeking a free Decameron, and Grokster and StreamCast
translated that demand into dollars. Justice Ginsburg offered
additional criticism of the lower courts reliance o
there has been no finding of any fair use and little beyond
anecdotal evidence of noninfringing
uses. In finding the Grokster and StreamCast software products
capable of substantial noninfringing
uses, the District Court and the Court of Appeals appear to have
relied largely on declarations submitted by the defendants. These
declarations include assertions (some of them hearsay) that a number
of copyright owners authorize distribution of their works on the
Internet and that some public domain material is available through
peer-to-peer networks including those accessed
contrast, in his concurring opinion Justice Breyer observed
significant noninfringing
uses, or at least an amount equivalent to that of the consumers in Sony.
Justice Souters majority opinion failed to undertake that
does the Patent Acts exemption from liability for those who
distribute a staple article of commerce, extend to those who induce
patent infringement, § 271(b).
nothing in Sony
requires courts to ignore evidence of intent if there is such
evidence, and the case was never meant to foreclose rules of
fault-based liability derived from the common law
Thus, where
evidence goes beyond a product's characteristics or the knowledge
that it may be put to infringing uses, and shows statements or
actions directed to promoting infringement, Sonys
staple-article rule will not preclude liability.
finding is the second significant point that can be made.
Court, like others in positions of policy formation, such as
Congress, appear to recognize all too well the scope of the problem
in spite of perhaps grasping only the proverbial elephants trunk.
If some readers here are in doubt regarding the extent of piracy on
the Internet, do the math as did the Court: over 100 million
copies of the software known to have been downloaded times the
billions of files shared across the Fastrack and Gnutella
networks each month equals a figure reflecting that the
probable scope of copyright infringement is staggering.
Factor in
the variety of other P2P systems capable of similar exchanges
such as intranets
and the amount of infringing traffic is more likely astronomical.
do these attitudes and the new law spawned in Grokster
represent for the future of innovation in Internet technologies?
Perhaps we must wait to see how the lower courts interpret Grokster
the decisions full impact can be assessed, and, of course,
Congress might decide to tinker again with the copyright law.
Several additional comments from the decision, however, may point to
the basis for such future articulation, and we will explore them in
Part 2

Minnesota Dad Charged After Wandering Son, 2, Found
HASTINGS (AP) — A father from Hastings has been charged after his 2-year-old son was found wandering on a busy street holding two bottles of hard lemonade.
Forty-two-year-old Robert Rassett is charged with child neglect and child endangerment, both gross misdemeanors. Rassett was released from jail Tuesday and has a June 24 hearing.
Hastings police say a couple from Prescott, Wis., found the toddler, without shoes or socks, in the middle of the road Sunday. Authorities say Rassett called police a couple hours later to report his son missing. Officers arrested Rassett after they arrived at his house, saying he was intoxicated and uncooperative.
The toddler was returned to his mother, who doesn't live with Rassett.
Police have no evidence the child consumed any of the alcohol he was holding.

The Benefits of Recycled Content Countertops
There are so many countertop options — the classics such as formica, stainless steel and granite — but over the last few years many recycled countertops have been emerging on the market. While each has their own advantages, recycled content countertops have many benefits in addition to being eco-friendly. I was recently given a presentation about recycled content countertops — here are some of the things I learned.
While individual recycled countertops many vary between manufacturers, what they all have in common is that they're made primarily of post-industrial and post-consumer recycled materials. This may include any of the following: glass, mirrors, ceramics and porcelains (think toilets, tubs and dishes). They are then likely mixed with recycled micronized glass, post-industrial crystallized ash (produced during burning of charcoal in industrial furnaces), quarry waste, pigments and a vegetable-based resin binder. There are a few different manufacturing techniques, which essentially consist of intense vibrations, compaction and vacuum to densify and harden the material, baking in a high efficiency vertical oven, and then honing and/or polishing of the finished slab.
• Mold & Mildew Resistant because of low porousity
• Scratch Resistant (not scratch proof) — only quartz performs better
• Stain Resistant
• Heat & Socrch Resistant
• Maintenance Free — only warm water and mild detergent needed for cleaning. The surface is non-pourous, so no sealing is required.

It has been one year since Curiosity landed on Mars, to embark on its mission to find evidence that the planet could once have supported life.
One year ago NASA's Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft and its unprecedented sky crane landing system placed the Curiosity rover -- about the size of a car -- on Mars
"Successes of our Curiosity -- that dramatic touchdown a year ago and the science findings since then -- advance us toward further exploration, including sending humans to an asteroid and Mars," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. "Wheel tracks now, will lead to boot prints later."
The rover has already satisfied its mission objective, having found key chemical ingredients for life in rock samples. Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorous and sulfur were found, along with clay mineral deposits formed by water.
Evidence of a knee-deep stream bed also supports the case for water on ancient Mars.
Though the Red Planet may once have supported life, Curiosity has so far found no methane, which is produced by living organisms, in the air. The Curiosity mission also found evidence Mars lost most of its original atmosphere through processes that occurred at the top of the atmosphere.
Curiosity has experienced radiation levels exceeding NASA's career limit for astronauts -- data that scientists will use to plan future human missions.
"Curiosity has provided more than 190 gigabits of data; returned more than 36,700 full images and 35,000 thumbnail images; fired more than 75,000 laser shots to investigate the composition of targets; collected and analyzed sample material from two rocks; and driven more than one mile."
"We now know Mars offered favorable conditions for microbial life billions of years ago," said project scientist, John Grotzinger of the California Institute of Technology.
Curiosity is now on its way to investigate Mount Sharp. "We hope those enticing layers at Mount Sharp will preserve a broad diversity of other environmental conditions that could have affected habitability," Grotzinger said.

Disclosure: I'm one of the PVFS2 developers. We deliberately designed PVFS2 to perform very well as a fast shared scratch space. Let NFS do what it was designed to do -- serve home directories. To answer your question, I regularly set up PVFS2 volumes on Argonne clusters for benchmarking, testing, and experiments. Ohio Supercomputing Center has PVFS2 deployed on a pretty big cluster. People are using PVFS2 and having good results. If you try it out and you find bugs or issues (and what software doesn't?), the mailing lists have quite a few helpful people. If nodes in your cluster are acting as both IO nodes and compute nodes, you will see a performance hit (I think it's small, but that's somewhat objective).

The Oklahoma Legislature has recognized award-winning actress and Tulsa native Mary Kay Place for her donation to a planned popular culture museum in Tulsa.
The star of "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" and "The Big Chill" was honored Monday with special receptions in the House and Senate lounges. She donated costumes and other items from her career.
Oklahoma Historical Society officials are lobbying the Legislature to pay for the proposed Tulsa museum. The planned 75,000-square-foot, four-story building would be dedicated to the influence of Oklahoma artists on popular culture. Supporters are also raising private donations for the project.
The Republican-controlled House has opposed any attempt to pass bond issues, including one to fund the museum's construction.

Transformation or Continuity? The Impact of Social Media on Information: Implications for Theory and Practice
Jutta Haider, Isto Huvila, Andrew Cox, Helena Francke and Hazel Hall
Tuesday, 10:30am
Abstract This panel debates whether the ways in which social media are changing the nature, creation, location, use and sharing of information constitute a transformation or are primarily marked by continuity. Ubiquitous and everyday access to social media (for some) seems to be bringing about changes in social practice, including of information-related activities, such that conceptualisations of information itself are potentially reshaped. Discussants draw inspiration from the pervasive impact on information activities of the everyday adoption of social media. At a theoretical level they also draw inspiration from the analytic resources of contemporary practice theory and its emphasis on materiality and embodiment, routine and change, social expectations and social identity, and knowledge as a process. All the participants of the panel have conducted new empirical research on social media use with a focus on its deep as well as broad impact. The audience members are invited to discuss with the panelists questions such as how are social media related to institutionalised practices and hierarchies, how does social media use shape perceptions of authority and trustworthiness, and how can a new theorisation help librarians, information professionals and researchers understand change and assume a proactive role in it?

Cloud Connections brings together the cloud computing market—IT professionals, IT managers and directors, developers, and business decision makers—to explore cloud computing services and products, deepen technical skills, and determine best-practice solutions for implementing private or public cloud infrastructure and services.
The conference will be held April 17 to 21, 2011, at the Bellagio in Las Vegas and will be collocated with Mobile Connections, which brings together the mobile development market to network and expand skill sets, and Virtualization Connections, which will explore ROI and deep-dive implementation of virtualized environments.
- IT Professionals (systems administrators, architects, network administrators)
- IT Managers and Business Decision Makers
- Developers
- CTOs, CIOs, or CEOs
We are looking for sessions that help IT professionals master the technical skills they need to consider, plan, and implement cloud solutions; help developers move applications to and build applications for the cloud; and help IT managers evaluate the ROI for cloud options.
We are looking for breakout sessions of 60 minutes in the following areas:
- Public vs. private cloud computing
- Security and compliance
- Migration
- Cloud architecture (design and platform considerations, data replication, architectural scenarios)
- Application development for cloud
- Emerging trends in cloud computing
- Cloud options in the market today
- ROI of implementing cloud platforms and solutions
- Cloud identity
- Open standards for application authentication
- Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
Suggestions for additional topics are welcome. Because cloud and mobile development are so closely tied as application and backend, presentations that include mobile development considerations are a plus. Sessions that illustrate using virtualization to create hybrid public and private cloud infrastructures are also welcome.
We are also interested in proposals for deep-dive pre-conference and post-conferences workshops (either half day or full day) on the following topics:
- Windows Azure Boot Camp
- Migrating to SQL Azure
- Creating a Scalable On-Demand Infrastructure with Amazon EC3
We are also open to suggestions for additional workshops.
Submissions Guidelines
Every speaker is expected to present at least three breakout sessions at the show. Please submit titles and abstracts and include a biographical statement with your proposals to Amy Eisenberg, Executive Editor, IT/Dev Group, Penton Media: [email protected].
We will accept proposals through December 1. Final selections will be made in December.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Capping a pretty perfect postseason, Joe Flacco completed 22 of 33 passes for 287 yards and three first-half touchdowns Sunday to earn Super Bowl MVP honors for leading the Baltimore Ravens to a 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
Flacco became only the sixth quarterback in 47 Super Bowls to throw for three scores in a first half, connecting with Anquan Boldin for 13 yards, Dennis Pitta for 1, and Jacoby Jones for 56.
And the unassuming guy who played his college football at Delaware finished Baltimore's four-game run to the title with 11 TD passes and zero interceptions. It was an impressive run that included road victories against two of the game's best QBs, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.

Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world.[1] Western art had been, from the Renaissance up to the middle of the 19th century, underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality. The arts of cultures other than the European had become accessible and showed alternative ways of describing visual experience to the artist. By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create a new kind of art which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy. The sources from which individual artists drew their theoretical arguments were diverse, and reflected the social and intellectual preoccupations in all areas of Western culture at that time.[2]Abstract art, nonfigurative art, nonobjective art, and nonrepresentational art are loosely related terms. They are similar, althoug...

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 -- About Web Conferencing Data Storage
From DocWiki
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 > Web Conferencing > Configuring > Configuring the Web Conferencing System for Optimal Data Storage
Storage space is required for both audio and web recordings and data attachments, referred to collectively as MeetingNotes. It is important to plan for the system demand (disk space) that this kind of storage will require through proper configuration and management.
By default, the Web Conferencing server stores all MeetingNotes for meetings held on the server on a local disk. You can change the storage configuration to copy MeetingNotes to an external backup location (such as a shared network drive on a dedicated storage server, a network-attached storage device, or a storage area network).
Note: The video display component of a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web conference is not recorded.
Recording Size
Even if no documents are shared during a recorded meeting, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing periodically records the meeting console and converts the recording into a synchronized voice and web Flash format. If no audio participants join the meeting, the meeting console is recorded in Flash format without the voice component.
Table: Approximate Disk Space Required lists the approximate disk space required for voice-only recordings and the additional disk space required for each web collaboration mode. A web conference can consist of application sharing, a presentation, whiteboard, and annotations. With screen sharing, the actual size of the recording depends on the screen sharing resolution, how often the screen changes, and how well the data compresses.
Table: Approximate Disk Space Required
|Approximate Disk Space Required Per Hour
|Voice-Only Formats
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Voice format (.mpv)
WAV format (16- bit, 8Khz PCM)
MP3 format (32 kbits/s sampling rate)
Windows Media format (.wma)
|Synchronized Voice and Web Flash Format
Sharing an 11-slide, 6.6 MB PowerPoint file with several photo-quality image slides
Sharing a desktop or application
By default, the Web Conferencing server stores all MeetingNotes content for meetings held on the server in a content folder on the local disk. We recommend that you change the storage configuration to copy content to a shared external backup location (such as a shared network drive on a dedicated storage server, a network-attached storage device, or a storage area network).
When you configure shared storage for a Web Conferencing server or for a cluster of servers, content is copied to the primary external storage device and pulled to the local content folder on each Web Conferencing server in the cluster as needed. You specify a Content Cache Size which determines the percentage of disk space that is taken up by the local content folder before old content is automatically purged to make room for new content. This configuration frees resources on the local server, which is especially helpful in a large cluster of Web Conferencing servers.
Do the following procedure to configure shared storage.
- Starting in Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.0 Maintenance Release 5, you can no longer switch from the shared storage location to the local server. After you have configured shared storage and rebooted the server, as described below, the system will disable the option to enable or disable shared storage.
- Due to a Windows security restriction, you cannot move or copy files from the shared storage to the local storage when the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing service is running under the LocalSystem account.
- When moving from one shared location to another, the Windows account that is configured to access the shared storage MUST have write access to both the old and new locations. If it does not, the old content will not be copied from the old location to the new location.
- Sign in to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing.
- From the Welcome page, click Admin , then click Shared Storage .
- For Enabled, click On .
- For Shared Storage Path, enter the network-accessible path to the storage directory, for example, \\storesrvr\C$\Web_data.
- For Content Cache Size, enter a value between 0 and 100 for the percentage of total disk space to use to cache content on the local server.
- In the applicable fields, enter a domain, username, and password for a Windows account that will be used to access the directory that you configured in Step 4. If the account is a local account, enter the machine name in the Domain field.
- Note: All Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing services will be reconfigured to "Log On As" the account that you choose in this step.
- Re-enter the password in the Confirm Password field.
- Click Save Changes .
- To put the changes into effect, click Reboot Server , then click OK to confirm the reboot. The server shuts down and restarts.
- Note: It may take several hours for the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing services to come back up. They cannot start again until all the files in the C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\MPWeb\Meetings and C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\MPWeb\WebConf\content\7 folders are transferred to the shared storage device. These folders can possibly contain more than 20 GB of data each, so the downtime can be significant.
- If this server is part of a load-balancing cluster, repeat Step 6 through Step 9 on every other server in the cluster.
Storage Maintenance
For optimal space usage, we recommend the following best practices:
- Use a shared or network drive to store attachments.
- Purge attachments and recordings regularly. See the About the MeetingNotes Purge Parameter for details.
- If you have configured Windows Media Server to store the .wma files separately from the other meeting attachments, you must purge that volume manually.
- See also How Permanent Meetings Affect Disk Space Resources.


text: Emerald Performance Materials Specialties Group has launched a new zero-VOC foam control agent–Foam Blast 4201–to meet the performance challenges of today's more environmentally conscious waterborne architectural and industrial coatings, graphic arts and other latex polymer applications. The zero-VOC, alkyl phenol ethoxylate (APE)-free defoamer is highly effective in a full range of coatings and graphic arts formulations, including flat, high gloss, clear and pigmented systems, in both the grind and let down stages. Foam Blast 4201 is an organically modified low-VOC silicone emulsion that is especially effective in combating foam over time, while retaining gloss. It will not generate haze and provides the excellent clarity desired in graphic arts clear coat systems and paints. It is also compatible in a wide range of polymers and coatings and can cost effectively replace multiple products.
