Enhancing C-Span Video Archive with Practice Capital Metadata and data journa...Sorin Adam Matei
The presentation argues that the C-Span archive is not a mere repository of moving pictures. It can also be seen as a one of a kind “big data” repository. If processed from a “practice capital” perspective with quantitative and network analytic tools, such data can significantly extend the capabilities of C-Span archives by identifying the central actors in a debate and their ability to sway it. The proposed approach may serve the public interest though API tools that support third party development of visualization and analytic apps, which can lead to more informed debates and new forms of data driven journalism.

Slides for a talk I present at SkillsMatter.
http://skillsmatter.com/podcast/agile-testing/acceptance-testing-with-geb
This talk will cover the basics of using Geb http://geb.codehaus.org to automate browser testing.
It will compare Geb with raw WebDriver/Selenium showing Geb's expressive Groovy API.
It will also demonstrate how to integrate Geb with acceptance testing frameworks, namely Cucumber via Cuke4Duke.
We will also cover an experience report on how and why we transitioned from raw WebDriver to Geb and how existing WebDriver projects can be ported across to Geb with minimal initial effort due to its underlying use of WebDriver.
Innovation and technology go hand in hand in developing the vision and strategy for the business solutions these leaders employ to engage current and new customers (boomers and beyond), and to establish new business models. Explore the best practices in innovation that drive new revenue generation. How is innovation affected by the adoption of technology by older consumers? Lee Rainie and Andrew Perrin present what works and what doesn’t when innovating in large public and nonprofit organizations at the Boomer Summit in Washington.

Have a High-Impact, Low-Budget Website Now!
March 2, 2011
All museums need a website but not all museums have the big budget to hire IT staff or design companies. Fortunately, it is easier than ever to create low-budget, high-impact participatory websites that will allow you to engage, inform, educate and enrich your constituents. This hands-on workshop introduces you to “best of breed” tools and resources allowing you to create a Web presence that will put you on the map. Learn about hosting, design tools and the new Web 2.0 applications that will allow you to expand your Web reach. Instructors: Jim Angus, Senior Facilitator, NASA Engineering Network, Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Registration Fee: $10. We recommend bringing your own laptop but a limited number of computers will be available for early bird registrants. Transportation not included. Located 0.2 miles from the Hilton Pasadena at the Pasadena Public Library, Central Library Branch, 285 East Walnut Street, Pasadena, CA 91101.
The BotNet benchmark is a benchmark for SPARQL query engines based on social network scenario's. This presentation first gives an overview of the benchmark and discusses the limitations of the current version. Then it gives the aspects in which we want to improve the benchmark and work that has already been done in this direction.
The BotNetBenchmark presentation was presented by Ying Zhang (CWI) at the PlanetData project Meeting on February 28 - March 4, 2011 in Innsbruck, Austria.

On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

West Midlands. Pop 239,100 (2004), 13th most
populous city in England. Wulfrunians. Market town,
specialising in woolen trade. Then coal, limestone,
iron ore, steel, locks, motorcycles, cars. Now

the world’s largest trolleybus system. First automatic
traffic lights in UK. Relatively old population, with
total population declining since 1970s. Large Sikh
and Hindu communities. Goal is to become a
world-leading cluster for aerospace industry.
