2:48pm: How much research is productized? Some examples of things that have come out: Inkjet printer. Dynamic smart cooling. Data compression technology. Large digital printers. “With these changes, we hope to see a lot more, and a lot quicker.” Setting up an internal review board for funding and betting. Sounds scary. |
2:45pm: Q&A starting. First question: any cost-cutting? They say no. Just a refocus. Second question: Why less blue sky? Aren’t they afraid of throwing out the next XEROX? They say they’re still focusing on publishing. |
2:45pm: David Letterman routine over. Conclusions: 1) Build a low cost infrastructure — or perish. 2) IT is the business. 3) Speed is everything. |
2:42pm: 1) A merger is taking place between business intelligence and the web. Not just for CEOs and teams of analysts anymore. Example: predicting price of DRAM. Used BRAIN (system they wrote, presumably open) to predict price. No idea what’s going on with this. |
2:37pm: 2) crowd-sourcing is going mainstream — changing the rules of the game forever. exponentially lower cost. reputation systems ensure quality. implication for numerous industries. Look for Fortune 100 adoption of crowd-sourcing. Letterman would be so proud at this point. Entire value chain, from idea to product, ... |
2:34pm: 4) Connectivity-centric computing has come. Content will sit in the cloud. Hard drive becomes temporary storage. Devices are “fungible”. I don’t believe that’s a word. Services you care about will come to you. |
2:33pm: 5) location + persona + timing == richer, more dynamic experiences. |
2:32pm: David Letterman Top Five. Let me say that again: he’s doing a David Letterman Top Five list for EaaS. Says international crowd won’t get it. |
2:29pm: HP wants a seamless experience across all devices. Searching needs to be done for you, not by you. Not sure if this means search engines, but just assumptions should be made about you to tailor things for you. |
2:28pm: Robison: Then: assume computers are pervasive. Today: assume that the internet is pervasive. A huge mosaic of Web 2.0 icons floating on screen. |
2:15pm: Technology Transfer office also launches today, aka an internal Start Up Incubator. Basically, this takes their lab nerds, adds on some product managers, and bring in some management, and then try to make it like an internal startup incubator. |
2:14pm: IdeaLab.com launches today. Website that will allow researchers and customers to take a peek at all HP Labs research. Live right now. They want developers to add onto their stuff. Customers to download and give feedback. Apparently trying to get some integration their StumbleUpon, MySpace stuff seen. |
2:13pm: All the partnerships, work is all focused on the five areas before. Funding students’ summer research who will hopefully be channeled into HP Labs. |
2:12pm: HP Labs is renewing in investment in partnerships: VC, startups, universities, government agencies, and other companies. “We realize that not all the smart people work for HP Labs”. Three aspects: HP Labs research program with unis, enterprenuer-in-residence program, and HP IdeaLab (website). |
2:11pm: Sustainability. Dynamic power cooling. Brief mention here. Led by a thermo-something researcher. |
2:10pm: Intelligent Infrastructure. Missed this one. Taking a photo. |
2:09pm: Content transformation: “Transforming content – from analog to digital, from device to device, from digital to physical product”. Aka, giant awesome printers. Apparently we saw one in the lobby. I didn’t. |
2:06pm: Dynamic Cloud Services: “Developing services that are dynamically personalized – based on your location, prefernces, caldendar, and communities”. Example: take a picture, put it on a cloud, access it anywhere on the mobile. CloudView, I think it’s called. |
2:05pm: Information explosion: “Developing a better way to acquire, analyze, and deliver information so it can be acted on.” FaceBubble, here in PaloAlto, is one. I’ll be able to check that out after the conference. |
2:04pm: Five New Themes: Information explosion. Dynamic cloud services. Content transformation. Intelligent infrastructure. Sustainibility. All labs to be led by technical people. Lab rats. Nerds. NEERDS. |
2:02pm: High-impact research. Open Innovation. Technology transfer. That’s what’s on the screen right now! (Don’t ask me what it means). |
2:00pm: 600 researchers in 7 locations. Bristol, Japan, China, India, and Russia. Hundreds of Phds, thousands of patents. Touting how sick nasty their researchers are…. This new plan regroups into about 23 newly formed labs. |
1:59pm: Changing to about 1/3 blue sky, 1/3 applied, 1/3 advanced product research. Less Blue Sky. |
1:59pm: “We’re going to re-focus our efforts into 20-30 big, big projects.” “Big Bets”. Down from about ~150 small projects. |
1:57pm: Prith Banerjee takes the field, six-months onto the job, director of HP Labs. |
1:52pm: They’re going to show us some of actual stuff today post-conference, hands-on. Lots of photos then. |
1:48: Press release says that HP today is ‘sharpening’ focus with the Labs. |
1:45: Starts on the dot. Pretty HD video projection going on with lab rats talking about data centers. |
1:43: Sitting down. Press conference starts in 2 minutes. |
A man shouts while people wait to clear a police line as they entered into Croatia from Serbia, in Babska, Croatia, Sept. 25, 2015. |
Croatia lifted restrictions on the main border crossing with Serbia Friday, ending a week of friction prompted by the flow of thousands of migrants across their common frontier. |
About 60,000 people escaping war and poverty in the Middle East and Africa have entered Croatia in recent days from its eastern neighbor Serbia, according to official figures released the same day. |
Speaking in Belgrade, a visiting European Union commissioner, Johannes Hahn, said the migrant crisis is a global problem that can be resolved only through the joint engagement of all European countries. |
EU President Donald Tusk said a “thread of understanding” was emerging among European leaders as they moved away from mutual recriminations and started to think about how to contribute to solving the crisis, while “protecting Europe from an excessive wave” of migrants and refugees. |
Tusk spoke on Poland's state TVP Info following the EU summit that decided to toughen border controls and provide more funds to help refugees in the Middle East. |
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, however, said in Vienna that he would seek support for his country's efforts to block the flood of migrants at its southern border with Croatia, including sealing the border as Hungary did with Serbia. He spoke at a news conference after meeting with Austrian Chancellor Werner Fay... |
The Hungarian prime minister said that whatever action his country takes will be "transparent." Orban praised Serbia's cooperation with Hungary on dealing with the flood of migrants, but expressed doubts about Croatia’s compliance with EU rules on dealing with migrants and border controls. |
Meanwhile, German officials said Friday that according to their estimates, 30 percent of asylum-seekers currently in their country are not citizens of war-torn Syria, as they claim, but from elsewhere. |
On Thursday, the European Union announced its Mediterranean naval operation will enter the second phase of a three-part operation against migrant traffickers, beginning October 7. |
Speaking Thursday at the Rome headquarters of the EU operation, the bloc’s foreign affairs chief, Federica Mogherini, announced the decision, saying, “The assets are ready." |
The three-phase operation, launched at the end of June, includes the use of military force against migrant traffickers, the seizure of vessels used to transport people across the Mediterranean Sea, most of them departing from the coast of Libya, as well as disposal of vessels and related assets, preferably before use, ... |
Explaining the new phase, Mogherini said European warships will operate against traffickers, conducting searches, and, if necessary, diverting suspicious vessels, but only in international waters without entering Libyan territory. |
The EU operation currently has four ships and several planes at its disposal. |
Call it pomp and dire circumstances: The class of 2011 graduates into a not-so-promising job market. |
With unemployment rates at around 9 percent, career counselors say the 2011 crop faces monumentally rough competition for entry-level gigs. Students can expect to vie against part-timers, the unemployed, and the far more experienced for that rarest of openings: the publicly-posted job listing. |
But there’s hope, says CareerBuilder.com advisor Allison Nawoj. |
More often than not, fresh graduates brave the open job market with no contacts, a department of elderly lecturers for references, and a stint marketing the soup du jour as their main work experience — hardly the stuff of a smashing résumé. |
The trick to beefing up that meager document is to build it around the skills you’ve acquired at each position, says Natascha F. Saunders of the Youth Career Coach. |
Play up your grades, your schoolwork, your term papers, Nawoj adds. If you’ve aced job-relevant courses, she suggests, make a note of it. |
What graduates most lack isn’t work experience, Saunders notes. It’s that well-placed ex-co-worker nestled one phone call away from a job. |
Finding connected people, she says, is as easy as asking their advice. |
“This should be your famous line: ‘I’m a student at so-and-so and I’d love to sit down with you and speak to you about x, y, z,’” she recommends. |
On Friday, the family makes its national television debut in the seventh episode of the CMT Network’s series that showcases kids with behavior problems who temporarily leave their home environment and get exposed to a new family and a heavy dose of discipline. |
At first, the couple was skeptical about getting involved. The Tilleys had been nominated by friends at the Cathedral of Praise church, where Eddie, 45, works as the children’s ministry director. They had never seen the show. |
When they did watch a few episodes, the other parents who had taken part came off as heavy-handed drill instructors, barking militaristic commands. That wasn’t their style. |
The Tilleys wanted to try a different angle, focusing more on communication to break through to a teenage girl from Quincy, Mass., and a teenage boy from Pittsburgh who were assigned to live under their roof for five days while the cameras rolled. |
The Tilleys have been together for decades, marrying after dating at Goose Creek High School. |
Susan Tilley, 45, is a registered nurse with the Medical University of South Carolina. They have two children, Matthew, 17, and Mary-Kate, 15, who won’t get her own cell phone until she is old enough to drive. |
The show was filmed in September, and their first meeting didn’t go so well. The male teen showed up in saggy pants and wore a hoodie that fully covered his head. The girl asked a lot of questions, seemingly feeling out what boundaries she could push. |
’Both of them brought things into the home that they weren’t supposed to,’ Eddie Tilley said, declining to be more specific. |
Another concern they had came from video they watched of the teens that showed them acting out at home and being disrespectful to adults. |
Once the experiment began, though, Eddie Tilley said the teens began to warm up. They were made to do chores, taken to church and spoken to on a level of respect. |
’The way we got to them was not by yelling and screaming and pushing,’ he said. Both parents said they finished the week experiencing a very positive takeaway, even after having their garage converted to an equipment studio and having camera operators around 14 hours a day. |
They also stay in touch with the two teens and remain optimistic that they will turn their lives around. |
The seventh episode of World’s Strictest Parents premieres Friday at 10:30 p.m. on CMT. |
Jessica Jones is set to debut on Netflix this coming Friday and Marvel fans all over are surely ecstatic. |
A couple of sneak peeks from Jessica Jones have been released, though these do not feature Jessica Jones herself but the villain Kilgrave, played by none other than the 10th Doctor, David Tennant. |
While it may be hard to think of David Tennant as a bad guy in Jessica Jones after watching him in Doctor Who, it’s not that hard to imagine after the new teasers. |
Jessica Jones revolves around the title character as she tries to overcome the demons from her short-lived stint as a superhero. |
In order to still be a helpful member of society, Jessica Jones opens a detective agency. |
@ekadarville as Malcom and @rachaelmaytaylor as Trish – amazing costars and amazing humans. I love these two #jessicajones out 11-20! |
However, her past is not entirely behind her. |
Jessica Jones is played by Krysten Ritter, who is known for her roles in Breaking Bad, Gilmore Girls, Gossip Girl and Veronica Mars. |
According to Jessica Jones executive producer Melissa Rosenberg, Ritter is absolutely perfect for the role. |
Are you super excited to binge-watch Jessica Jones this weekend? |

Youths working at Glory to Glory Customs already have experienced the wrong side of the law. |
So it was an intriguing pairing when the Peoria Police Department recently awarded Glory to Glory the $7,500 contract to convert a donated Brinks armored truck into a second Armadillo, or nuisance abatement surveillance vehicle. |
"That's one of the cool things about it," said Juan Rios Jr., an ordained minister who created the car shop. "One of the kids told me, 'A couple years ago I would have been trying to figure out how to break into the Armadillo.' They realize they've gotten into trouble because of the choices they've made." |
The Armadillo, dispatched to trouble properties throughout Peoria in an effort to curb lawless behavior, has gained national media attention, including a front-page article in the Wall Street Journal. |
Converted from its former life as a Brinks truck, the original Armadillo is reinforced with bulletproof windows, locks, coverings for all lights and foam-filled tires. Inside, cameras and computer software are in place to record activities outside a problem residence. |
Neighborhood response has been so strong the waiting list for the truck often reaches several weeks. |
When a second armored truck was donated, Peoria police looked to Glory to Glory to perform the work. It is funded by asset forfeitures. |
Glory to Glory's work will become the Armadillo 2. |
"(Rios) has a ministry that reaches out to kids, and the Armadillo gives the police a chance to work with kids who have been in trouble and are trying to rehabilitate and do good things," said Peoria police spokesman Doug Burgess. "This gives them a chance to be involved in a positive project." |
Rios' customized work has appeared in "The Fast and the Furious" movies. Mostly through contacts with Tazewell County probation officers, Rios takes in youngsters who have been arrested and must work community service hours. |
Instead of wages, workers receive community service hours and funds to pay legal fees, restitution and other costs. |
The program is no guarantee. |
Of last year's first "class" of 14 young workers, four have been arrested since finishing their stint in the shop. |
"You help them as much as you can and then you take off the training wheels," Rios said. "If they fall, you help pick them back up." |
Michael Howard, 16, of Pekin enjoyed working at Glory to Glory so much, he kept coming when his community-service obligation was over. But when the school year began in August and Howard moved away from the shop, he resumed drug use and was once again in trouble. |
Recently, Rios welcomed Howard back. |
"It was nice to be around people with the same experiences, in a positive environment," Howard said. "It kept me away from the stuff that got me in trouble. (Eventually) I just got back around the same people." |
Glory to Glory's second "class" - five youths and an adult - has begun preparing the "naked Armadillo" and preparing it for the body reinforcement and painting before it gets returned for city of Peoria employees to install cameras and other electronics. |
"The kids realize that instead of taking something away from the community, they're going to be giving something back," Rios said. |
Glory to Glory is located at 228 Margaret St. in Pekin but soon will relocate to Mackinaw. For information, call (309) 453-1016. |
The Academy, it seems, has listened. After the #whiteoscars furore of past years, three of this year's Oscar nominees for Best Picture, Moonlight, Fences, and Hidden Figures, are films with predominantly (if not entirely) Black casts, and focused on the experiences of Black characters. Cast and crewmembers from all thr... |
ANN ARBOR -- Two Ann Arbor-area high school football teams will play for regional championships on Saturday and can inch closer to Ford Field with a victory. |
Saline and Chelsea are the last remaining local teams after cruising to victories last week. |
MLive sports reporter Ryan Zuke predicted both games to be close, but both were decided by 20 points or more. |
