Welcome to the August 24, 2007 edition of ACM TechNews, providing timely information for IT professionals three times a week.
How Close Is World War 3.0?
A series of coordinated, politically motivated cyberattacks against the Estonian government are provoking anxiety among American IT and network professionals about further incidents and what strategies should be followed to prepare for similar cyber-assaults on commercial networks. "As we move more critical infrastructure to the Internet and we depend on it more and more for communications, the threat [of cyberwar] is real," says Arbor Networks security researcher Jose Nazario. The success of the Estonian attacks and the media attention they attracted could encourage other people or groups with an axe to grind to launch similar exploits, warn experts. Most security experts say the Estonian incident was not an instance of all-out cyber warfare because there is no evidence that a government was behind the attacks. Eugene Spafford, executive director of Purdue University's Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security, says authentic cyberwar would be an attempt by a country to impose its will on another, and network attacks would probably function as a complement to physical assaults. Columbia University professor Steve Bellovin believes cyberterrorists or hactivists are more likely to attack individual commercial or government targets than wage an all-out cyberwar. Security experts concur that the Estonian incident should serve as a wake-up call for CIOs, who have generally ignored the threat of politically motivated attacks in favor of profit-oriented ones. ISPs, banks, and oil and electric companies are considered ripe targets for politically motivated cyberattacks. Spafford says it is important for U.S. companies to realize that small groups of hactivists can cause considerable damage, as the Estonian attack demonstrates. The incident also shows that the strategy of acknowledging the problem and seeking help from ISPs and international governments can be successful.
The majority of California's most avid voters do not have much confidence that their votes are being counted accurately, according to a Field Poll survey of likely voters, and are nearly equally divided over which type of voting machine they prefer--paper ballots with optical scanners, electronic touch-screen machines, or the punch card system that's no longer in use. The survey was taken at about the same time a panel of experts condemned touch-screen machines, prompting California Secretary of State Debra Bowen to restrict the use of touch-screen machines throughout most of California. Forty-four percent of respondents said they have a "great deal of confidence" in accurate vote counts, 41 percent said they have "some confidence," 11 percent said they have little confidence, and 3 percent said they have no confidence. Bowen says she is surprised and unhappy that so few voters have confidence in the voting systems and that her goal is to improve voter confidence to close to 100 percent. Field Poll director Mark DiCamillo says he expected to see lower voter confidence because of the controversy surrounding touch-screen machines.
Microsoft and Mitsubishi researchers are developing a touch-screen system that enables users to type, click, and navigate on both the front and back of the screen. As multi-touch screens become increasingly smaller, users' fingers cover more of the content on the screen, making it more difficult to operate the devices. The prototype developed by Microsoft and Mitsubishi as part of the LucidTouch program, is a "hacked together" device made from a variety of pieces. The team started with a seven-inch, commercial, single-input touch screen and attached a touch pad capable of detecting multiple points to the back. To make a user's hand visible when trying to control the gesture pad on the back, the researchers added a boom with a Web camera. The image from the Web camera and information from the gesture pad are processed to superimpose an image of the hand on the front of the device so the user can see his or her hand. Pointers are also added to the tips of the fingers so a user can precisely select targets on the touch pad that are smaller than their fingertips. The prototype has several limitations, including the fact that users will not accept a handheld device that has a boom and camera on the back, but possible solutions are available to overcome this problem. Stanford University professor of computer science Scott Klemmer says one of the biggest problems users face is inadvertently covering up content and LucidTouch distinguishes itself by providing better feedback about where your fingers are and by being multitouch. "What this points to for me is the idea that we're going to see this increased diversity of devices that adapt to different situations," Klemmer says.
Sandia National Laboratories augmented cognition researchers are designing safety features for cars that can analyze human behavior and make decisions based on how the user is driving. The research project could one day lead to cars that can determine when a driver is tired, or can observe the driving conditions and can instruct the driver's cell phone to hold incoming calls during difficult or stressful moments. Data was collected from drivers wearing electroencephalogram (EEG) electrodes to monitor brain activity during unstructured driving conditions. The data was used to develop software, known as classifiers, that categorize driving behavior. The classifiers can detect certain driving situations such as approaching a slow-moving vehicle or changing lanes. The system detects the difficulty and stress involved with the task the driver is performing and tries to modify the task or the environment to lower the driver's stress levels. "The beauty of this is that we aren't doing anything new or different to the car," says principal investigator Kevin Dixon. "All the software that can make the determination of 'dangerous' or 'safe' driving situations would all be placed in the computer that already exists in the car. It's almost like there is another human in the car." Software classifiers can also be used to determine how difficult the driving situation is and who would be the best person to perform tasks. For example, during a difficult driving task it might be best for the passenger to receive radio transmissions so the driver can focus. "If our algorithms can identify dangerous situations before they happen and alert drivers to them, we will help save lives," Dixon says.
Virtual gaming could provide first responders with another tool to help prepare them for emergencies, says Sandia National Laboratories computer scientist Donna Djordjevich. Sandia has teamed up with the University of Southern California's GamePipe Laboratory to develop "Ground Truth," a video game that will allow first responders to practice how to handle different emergency situations. So far, the project has designed a scenario in which a speeding car crashes into a tanker truck, which results in a cloud of chlorine forming over an unnamed city. As the green cloud emanates from the crash scene, the player is charged with directing police and fire departments, hazardous materials crews, medical personnel, and road barricades for the emergency response. An on-screen ticker that counts the rising death toll and tense, ominous background music help give players a rush of adrenaline. Over the next two years of the project, the scientists plan to add other virtual emergencies, including some involving weapons of mass destruction on a large scale. The Department of Homeland Security could provide the video game to responders across the country, says Djordjevich.
A team of MIT scientists has developed a way to measure visual clutter, which could lead to more user-friendly displays and maps, and improvements to user interfaces and Web site designs. Creating a universal definition of what constitutes clutter proved difficult as what one person considers to be clutter may be seen by another as an organized system. "We lack a clear understanding of what clutter is, what features, attributes, and factors are relevant, why it presents a problem, and how to identify it," says MIT's Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences principal research scientist Ruth Rosenholtz. Rosenholtz and colleagues modeled what makes items in a display harder or easier to see using data on color, contrast, and orientation. The model was then used to develop software that measures visual clutter. The researchers tested the influence of clutter when searching for a symbol on a map and found a strong correlation between the time it takes to find a symbol and the amount of clutter on the map. In a previous study the team asked 20 people to rank 25 maps of the United States and San Francisco in order from most cluttered to least cluttered. While there was disagreement among human subjects as to what constituted clutter, when the researchers compared the human results to their clutter measurement system there was a good correlation. Rosenholtz now plans to offer the visual clutter tool to designers as part of a user study to see what insights designers get from using the program, such as what knowledge they gain on how a user will possibly perceive their designs.
University of California, San Diego engineers have created the highest-resolution computer display in the world. The system is located at the UCSD California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) and has a screen resolution of up to 220 million pixels. The system also connects to Calit2's building at UC Irvine to form the Highly Interactive Parallelized Display Space (HIPerSpace), which can deliver real-time rendered graphics simultaneously to audiences in Irvine and San Diego. "We don't intend to stop there," says Falko Kuester, architect of both systems, Calit2 professor for visualization and virtual reality, and associate professor of structural engineering in UCSD's Jacobs School of Engineering. "HIPerSpace provides a unique environment for visual analytics and cyberinfrastructure research and we are now seeking funding to double the size of the system at UC San Diego alone to reach half a billion pixels with a one gigapixel distributed display in sight." The HIPerSpace system between Irvine and San Diego is connected by high-performance, dedicated optical networking that transfers data at 2 gigabits per second. The displays will be available to teams of scientists or engineers who work with extremely large data sets, in Earth sciences, climate prediction, biomedical engineering, genomics, and brain imaging. "The higher-resolution displays allow researchers to take in both the broad view of the data and the minutest details, all at the same time," says Kuester. "HIPerSpace also allows us to experiment on the two campuses with distributed teams that can collaborate and share insights derived from a better understanding of complex results."
A recent Gartner report suggest that women have superior communication and listening skills and are "innately better suited than men" to thrive in the new global economy, so the shrinking population of women in IT could cause trouble in the industry. Women control or influence 80 percent of consumer spending decisions, but 90 percent of IT products and services are designed by men, a formula for "going out of business," according to Gartner. If IT organization do not adapt to attract a strong female workforce, women will take their skills elsewhere, making the IT skills crisis even worse. "Men and women behave, think, and operate differently. To pretend otherwise is to ignore fruitful inputs into IT team-building, leadership, global projects, innovation, and talent management," says Gartner analyst Mark Raskino, co-author of the study "Women and Men in IT: Breaking Through Sexual Stereotypes." Last year, a University of California study found that the proportion of women undergraduates interested in computer science is at its lowest since the 1970s, unlike other scientific fields such as biology and physical sciences where the proportion of women continues to rise. Ilene Grossman, vice president of systems and technology at The Bank of New York, says a major reason women do not consider an IT career or leave the IT industry is the lack of advancement opportunity. "I still think men are more comfortable with men, and they're the ones who pick who gets promoted, because they are still the CEOs and COOs," Grossman says. "When women have more prominent positions on the business side, you'll see more women rise up higher in technology."
University of Buffalo professor Sargur Srihari is developing software that would make grading essays a fully automated, computerized process. Srihari had human examiners grade 300 answer booklets submitted by 8th graders. Half of the graded essays were fed into the computer so the software could identify key words and phrases repeatedly associated with high grades. Then the other half of the essays were entered into the computer to be graded. The software assigned grades to the tests within one grade of the teachers' scores 70 percent of the time. Srihari chose to test the system with younger students because they tend to have better handwriting and a smaller vocabulary. The true challenge for the system is accurately grading the answer, which is done through an artificial neural network. "The artificial neural network learns from the human scored answers to identify the important features of the text," says Srihari. "Some of the features are content dependent--key phrases or words in the answer--and some are content independent--the length of the sentences and the total answer length, for example." Limiting responses to a specific topic makes it easier for the program to predict what the answers should look like, and it would have difficulty grading more ambiguous exam questions. Additionally, any deployable computerized grading system would need to be able to examine more than key words and phrases because students could use the right keywords in the wrong configuration or context. Srihari says the reluctance to consider automated grading systems underestimates the technology and how it could benefit teachers by cutting down on grading time.
OLPC project designers and Pentagram Design demonstrated the laptop's Sugar user interface on actual XO hardware at the recent UX Week conference. Sugar includes a "zoom" spatial navigation system and extensive collaboration tools and is based on the idea of abstraction and social networking, according to UI designer Christian Schmidt. The zoom navigation system is divided into four levels. The first level is the working application, which occupies the entire screen. The second level, called the Home Sphere, is the "XO" avatar surrounded by a ring of active or shared applications. The third level, the Friends Sphere, has the user's icon and icons for trusted friends. The last level shows all users on the mesh network displayed on the Neighborhood Sphere, organized visually into an overhead community layout. The demonstration only connected four laptops on the stage, but a Flash animation of the Neighborhood sphere showed XO avatars jumping between activity icons as users switched tasks. Choosing to share a file, document, or image makes it available to any friends on the network. The demonstration showed off a word processor document being shared and simultaneously edited between laptops, with changes appearing instantly on all four screens. The laptops replace a traditional file system with a time-based, non-hierarchical "journal" that saves file objects automatically and includes icons for the users that contributed to the object, a preview of each object, and integrated search and filters for locating objects.
Purdue University is hosting nanoHUB.org, a Web site dedicated to applying Web 2.0 tools to the academic pursuit of nano-science and nanotechnology. NanoHUB project leader Gerhard Klimeck, a Purdue University professor of electrical and computing engineering, says the site allows scientists and students to use resources that they would otherwise have to spend time learning. "I'm a computer scientist, so you can give me a Unix account and a password, and I'm good to go," says Klimeck. "But others would take weeks to learn how to use these tools ... NanoHUB puts scientific tools into the hands of people who wouldn't normally touch them with a 10-foot pole." NanoHUB use has increased fivefold over the past two years. University of Portland associate professor of engineering Peter Oseterberg says he is extremely enthusiastic about nanoHUB and calls it the absolute best nanotech Web site. "My students thoroughly enjoy the nanoelectronics course material along with the online simulations," Oseterberg says. "I use it almost daily since I first learned about it." NanoHUB allows researchers, professors, and students to upload and share software, tools, lectures, presentations, and other resources. So far, 55 nanosimulation software tools have been made available on the site for subjects including nanoelectronics, chemistry, and physics. In the past 12 months, more than 225,000 simulations have been run on nanoHUB. The only Web 2.0 technology nanoHUB is missing is a social network. Michael McLennan, a senior research scientist for the Office of Information Technology at Purdue, says several social networking tools have been tested on nanoHUB, but none are as popular as the scientific tools. "We're trying to make scientific tools available online, and we're succeeding," McLennan says.
The Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at Binghamton University brought together computer science students from schools including Rutgers University and Florida State to gain research experience. The nine students who participated in the inaugural year of the National Science Foundation-sponsored program each received $5,000 and free campus housing for the 10-week program, which matched them with faculty members and graduate students at Binghamton University. "The faculty have a genuine interest in the outcome of the projects," says associate professor of computer science and director of the program Michael Lewis. "They're not just class projects to keep the students busy for a summer." NSF funds REU programs in 19 different subjects, and this summer there were more than 45 sites dedicated to computer and information science and engineering. The REU program is primarily intended to get more students interested in research careers, but it could lead to more collaboration between Binghamton faculty and educators at other schools and an increased interest in graduate school among participating students. "We don't have as many people entering graduate school as I think we should," says associate professor of computer science Patrick Madden. "I see this as a way of giving undergraduates a taste of what graduate school is like and helping them look a bit further off on the horizon to think about a career in research."
A group of physicists from Italy and the United States has proposed a method for retrieving quantum information from memory, which should make total quantum recall more reliable. Quantum computers have the potential to perform certain calculations at unprecedented speeds, but to perform these calculations effectively the machines will require access to a memory storage system similar to random access memory. Unlike RAM however, which uses bits and assigns each bit to be a 1 or 0, quantum computers use qubits, which can be both a 1 and a 0, known as a quantum superposition. Consequently, in quantum RAM, address qubits, which in normal RAM open and close switches to create a path to a memory cell, would not identify a single memory cell but a certain superposition of all possible memory cells. The problem is that the address qubit controls so many switches simultaneously that the quantum systems would become entangled and highly susceptible to interference form the environment, causing their quantum states to be scrambled and the information to be lost. The solution proposed by Vittorio Giovannetti of the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Italy, and his colleagues is to send the address down the branching tree of connections that leads to the memory cell so that only one quantum switch is affected at a time. Charles Bennett of IBM's Watson Research Center believes it is a good idea, though he says the system's advantage over conventional addressing is not as clear the researchers suggest. Bennett argues that some conventional addressing schemes do not require every switch to be flipped simultaneously, and that even inactive switches might contribute to interference.
Germany will launch a competition in November that will allow officials to scout software programming talent for its Semantic Web project, and hopes programmers from the open-source community will participate. "We want to attract bright minds to the project and let them work with the many other experts we have on board from the participating businesses, research institutes, and universities," says Stefan Wess, managing director of Empolis, which serves as coordinator for Theseus. Funded by the German government, Theseus has a budget of $243 million. Prototype Semantic Web technologies will be developed and tested in six application scenarios, including the Alexandria knowledge database that will benefit those involved in publishing, processing, or searching for content. Other scenario applications include Ordo for organizing digital content automatically, Medico for searching technology for medical images, and Texo for enabling business tools to communicate and for facilitating new services based on service-oriented architecture.
The National Center for Supercomputer Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will host the FBI's National Center for Digital Intrusion Response, a new law enforcement cybersecurity research center. The FBI will provide $3 million to support the first two years of the program, which represents an expansion of the FBI's existing work with the university. "This effort will benefit the scientists, engineers and other researchers who use cyber-resources at NCSA and other federal centers by protecting the cyberinfrastructure they rely on," says NCSA director Thom Dunning. University IT security scholars will work with FBI cybersecurity specialists to understand what capabilities are necessary to detect and investigate cyberattacks, develop new tools, and ensure FBI agents in the field can use the tools effectively. The bureau says NCSA was chosen because it has 22 years of experience protecting high-performance computers from cyber attacks, including developing software for data analysis, visualization, collaboration, and communication. Expanding the bureau's work with the university is a reflection on the changing patterns of crime and national security threats. "While cyberattacks were once considered a specialized niche in law enforcement, today there are digital aspects to many crimes and national security threats; all investigators must be able to pursue criminals operating in cyberspace," the FBI says.
The realization of "cloud computing" will require a major increase in the Internet's size, and Sun Microsystems could be an important player in this regard through Project Blackbox. The effort involves self-contained server farms that offer huge capacities of memory and storage space that can be delivered in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost of setting up a traditional computer room of comparable capability. A typical Blackbox system fits into a standard 20-foot shipping container, and uses a power cable and Internet link, along with a water supply and an external chiller for cooling. Up to 250 servers supply as much as 7 terabytes of active memory and over 2 petabytes of disk storage, and Sun advises the use of a dedicated fiber-optic cable as optimal for fulfilling bandwidth needs. There are shock absorbers placed under each computer rack to cushion them from rough landings during shipping. University of California, Berkeley computer scientist David Patterson notes that the proliferation of Blackboxes "could significantly reduce the cost of utility computing--this notion that, in the future, an iPhone or whatever will be the only thing we carry with us, and most of what we do will be an online service."

If your hunger for things to do in Austin wasn't satiated last time, Maudie's Tex Mex has a litany of other suggestions as to how you can fill your time between eating amazing Tex Mex and exploring the city. As the premier authentic Tex Mex restaurant in the area, we take pride in being connected to our community and having an acute understanding of where the cool things are happening — the things that make Austin so deliciously weird. If you've become enchanted with the city from afar, we have many things to enhance and deepen your appreciation of our super unique city. If you're a local, we attempt to find some new spots and locales to explore to keep you involved and passionate about our city like we are. Be sure to visit these amazing jewels in the crown of Austin, Texas.
From the Alamo to the Civil War, Texas has an amazingly rich history. The state was once a refuge for outlaws and scallywags during the civil war, where confederates in trouble with the Yankees would flee to. It hosted a series of important, influential families, and it grows richer in history every day. Since Texas has been the epicenter of interesting things happening in the West since we grabbed it from Mexico (and before then), it's no shock that the museums are rich in exhibits of interest. Since Texas was once a country of its own, there's a wealth of interesting information about the great state. You'll be able to find an entire 400-year-old shipwreck on permanent display in the museum and incredible exhibits about the Bush family and the buffalo soldiers, as well as on the Alamo along with various Civil War mementos. If you're a history buff, you'll find the Bullock can satisfy some of your hunger to see the interesting facets that come together to make this jewel of a state.
Few things are as rich in interest as the pop culture that has marked the many decades of the 20th and 21st century. If you love yourself a bit of pop culture history, you'll find the South Austin Museum of Popular Culture to be absolutely enchanting. Native Austinites love to talk about our pop culture, considering we still fancy ourselves as the origin of all of the popular trends since the city was founded, or at least since SXSW took off, but seeing is believing. If you'd rather pass on the oral retellings of how great Austin is, head to the Museum of Popular Culture to see physical work of culture from the '60s forward. You'll get to glimpse local art as well as music posters, films, videos and paintings chronicling the lifespan of Austin culture. The museum has an archive of more than 3,000 works. Coolest piece of all? The museum is an official 501c3 non-profit that makes money for the local economy, so whatever purchases you make will be directly contributing to the city of Austin producing more artwork.
Contemporary art is strange, it's weird and yet it still manages to be totally stunning, much like the city it occupies. The first thing to know about the museum is there are two locations, the much smaller location downtown by the name of the Jones Center and the 14 acres Laguna Gloria that's just a touch northwest from downtown. On the 14-acre area of the museum, you'll find the installation-ready Gatehouse Gallery is amazing in a way that only contemporary art can be. You'll also be able to visit the Betty and Marcus Sculpture part that rounds out the museum nicely. The Jones Center's building is an example of contemporary art in and of itself. It's a contemporary, yet nearly brutalist style building that's equipped with a softening projector screen that visitors can even glimpse from the outside of the building in the middle of the night. It features plenty of noteworthy artist like Charles Long, John Grade, and Monika Sosnowska.
With the most recent drama in the Oval Office, it can be easy to forget that the whole position was once shrouded in a touch more tasteful mystery than it is now. Whatever your opinion of Lyndon B Johnson's presidency, you can at least respect him for rising to the occasion after JFK was assassinated. This museum is hardly what you'll expect it to be. It's actually a collection of 1960s history (speaking of Contemporary Austin ), and a peek into what a presidency of the United States used to be and what the noble office inspire in people who rise to meet the challenge it presents. If that hardly interests you, there's always the idealism of examining another time and making comparisons, because if history is recorded for any reason, it's so we don't make the same mistakes again.
When you've had a hard day of browsing museums and reveling in the folds of history books and years far gone, you'll be hungry. Treat yourself to some beyond delicious Tex Mex cuisine at Maudie's Tex Mex. Reanimate your excitement and enthusiasm with a few tacos and an amazing margarita. After a day of appreciating others' memories, all you have left to do to round out the day is making your own. As we all know, tequila certainly helps when your goal is to make new memories. Feel free to contact us to find out more about catering and to-go orders. We're excited to share our authentic cuisine with you.

Flipboard flips bird at bad design -- but also fair use?
Flipboard is an awesome new iPad app that aggregates links from your social network feeds and favorite sites, then renders it as a stunning magazine-like reading experience. But there's a problem: instead of using RSS feeds or other licensed content, it scrapes the web, including large images and original content. It removes ads -- fine for CC-licensed sites but not many others -- but also plans to sell its own ads around that content under rev-share arrangements.
Take Boston.com's The Big Picture, for instance: Each of those large images come from wire services. It's content paid for by the Boston Globe, licensed from the photo wires with strict limits on how it can be presented and distributed. The Big Picture's RSS feed presents a single image and a description for each collection.
View The Big Picture from within Flipboard, however, and you'll find all of the images available, scraped--or "parsed", to use Flipboard's phrasing--to Flipboard's own servers, resized into a grid, and then distributed to every single Flipboard app. Fair use is a murky thing, decided on a case-by-case basis, but it's hard for me to suss a scenario where scraping all of the images from a picture blog and redisplaying them without ads or context would be considered fair use.
Moreover, Flipboard is saying they're willing to shut off or rein in how much content they are slurping up if content providers simply ask. That's good, but it's still a possible violation of copyright. Content creators do not have to specifically ask that their copyright not be violated.
Rebuilding the web as a more beautiful place is a good thing: it encourages websites to keep their designs simple and limit advertising and other layout cruft. But using that as a device to peel readership away from the web, then insert itself as an advertising middleman, is another thing entirely.

Three stories, three different places.
A lesbian couple has faced two hate crimes within a week, with anti-gay slurs tagged on their home and vehicles, and a fire destroying their business.
Couple Lindsay Curnow and Juliet Leigh have lived peacefully in the small coastal village of Mangawhai Heads, Northland, for seven years. They said their sexuality has never been an issue before in the community.
But now they live in fear, not wanting to leave their home and return to something worse.
Two weeks ago the couple had their home and vehicles tagged with offensive anti-gay slurs.
Then a week later their shed, which is at the heart of their mail-order bulb business, was completely destroyed by fire.
"They've really invaded our privacy. It was a bit like being burgled, you know that sort of violation that you have," Leigh said.
A Carroll County man told Channel 2 Action News that he believes he was the target of a hate crime.
Chris Staples said someone threw a rock through his window with a piece of paper attached that was covered in anti-gay slurs.
"I was watching TV and just finished smoking a cigarette and I heard this big thud. Boom!" Staples told Channel 2's George Howell.
The rock had a threatening note attached.
Then hours later, he woke up to flames filling his bedroom.
However, Enza Anderson, who has been harassed in the past, called the students "teens of terror" and has organized a public meeting to discuss what she describes as homophobia in the community after a recent attack.
Paul Winsor, a local florist, was singled out by a group of about 12 students who soaked him with two frozen beverages last Monday.
The 49-year-old narrowly dodged an airborne chunk of ice as he chased the teens before they ducked into the school at Jarvis and Wellesley Sts.
"A slushie drink is one thing — it stains your clothes and hurts your pride — but when it escalates to chunks of ice, that's dangerous," he said.
Just as there are gay people everywhere, in every nation and culture, there are also pig ignorant bigots. Sad, but true.

Q: adding a property to an object in javascript function addProperty(object, property) {
  // add the property to the object with a value of null
  // return the object
  // note: the property name is NOT 'property'.  The name is the value of the argument called property (a string)
}

I got a little stuck on an only home work question. I think I understand what its asking me to do. I want to pass in an object and add a new property and set its default value to null.
Here is what I have tried doing
function addProperty(object, property) {
  // add the property to the object with a value of null
  // return the object
  // note: the property name is NOT 'property'.  The name is the value
  object.property = property;
  object[property] = null;
  return object;
    }

This does not seem to be working the way I need it to as I believe I the object should produce something like
const object = {
propertyPassedIn: null,
};

can anyone help or point me in the right direction?

A: This works for me
function addProperty(object, property) {
  // add the property to the object with a value of null
  // return the object
  // note: the property name is NOT 'property'.  The name is the value
  // object.property = property;
  object[property] = null;
  return object;
}

var obj = {x:1,y:null};
// undefined
obj
// {x: 1, y: null}
addProperty(obj, 'z');
// {x: 1, y: null, z: null}

A: Just remove
object.property = property;

from your sample. This line would create a ReferenceError if the property is not already in the object. Other than that, I can't see a reason why it wouldn't do what you say you expect.

A: function addProperty(object, property) {
  object[property] = null;
  return object;
}

    var obj = {
       key1:1,
       key2:2
    };

addProperty(obj, 'value');
this will give below result
{key1:1, key2:2, value:null}

Then came Wednesday, the sun was shining, I had burn piles outside to keep an eye on, the wood for the sanctuary was already here so I decided to take another step forward. I'm glad too because this project is finally taking shape.
The posts were installed back in January when everything was doormat, that project can be found here.
Because I decided on a natural look this project so far has included the following materials.
Tree Trunks – Installed with auger, shovel and Thor hammer.
Three raised beds -built from scratch, installed and filled with soil.
Eight ft. 2 x 4's – also cut four pieces at 2 ft. for connecting.
Eight ft. pine fence boards, cut two at 1 ft. for connecting.
Cordless drill and deckmate screws to install.
The next step was to connect the top and bottom boards to those posts. So, with Robert's help we did this by connecting three 2 x 4's overlapping with 2 ft. 2 x 4's, lifted, screwed in place and repeat to the opposite side. This was definitely a two-person job!
We'll be using 10 ft. 2 x 4's for the ends so I can hang planters from the overhang.
Closing in the bottom of the frame was about half completed thanks to the raised beds. These have already been filled, stain and now ready for planting.
These boards filled in the wall gaps and the front was left open because I still need to do frame work for the door entrance.
I knew after all the rain in February this space would need more soil to raise the ground and leveling, I just didn't realize there would be a significant gap. This can be normal and shouldn't be overlooked if you have dogs, predators and additional concerns when it comes to protecting quail.
I started filling in the sanctuary at the opposite end last month after the raised beds were installed. Somewhere my efforts were derailed; this is heavy duty work and hard on the arms but wow am I ever building up the arm muscles.
The next step is to fill in the ground so no gaps appear and replant new grass seed. Excited because even with all that needs to be done things are coming together as envisioned.
After finishing for the day, I started taking an inventory for what needed to be done next. That list looks like a lot and honestly it is.
Raise the ground and plant grass.
Plant Raised Beds – This will be Fun!
Remove more surround trees and Robert needs to cut top posts to match frame height.
Frame in for the door and build door.
Install chicken wire for roof and walls.
My goal now is to focus on the end result and perhaps this weekend I can check off the first two items on that list, it's looking good because the garden is getting planted Saturday.
We have a lot going on right now and I'm reminded sometimes less is more, which means I decided one Quail Sanctuary will be sufficient.
You've got a great start there. It makes it so much less daunting with a plan in place. You are so good at planning things out.
Before you know it, you will be on to the next project!
Okay so we did this addition on Wednesday… So yesterday we decided to go ahead and fill in the interior (raising the ground) and we finished. Holy cow that was hard work thank the lord Robert is one strong man. 7 wheel barrow loads later it was done on the interior. We even got a few more trees removed… So rain is coming today that's why we did the dirt yesterday which means this weekend I'll get the beds planted. So yes with a plan, stick with it amazing things can happen. Thanks for stopping by always so great to hear from you, I love your encouragement.
This is so fascinating to watch. Can't wait to hear more and see the final quail sanctuary complete.
Complete – man that sounds nice!! We worked on it more yesterday and got the ground filled in. Rain is coming today so Saturday I'll get those beds planted. It's a process for sure but this entire area is really neat, it's going to be my bird sanctuary… Wild birds come to visit and I'm adding more bird houses over here in addition to possibly a few chickens.
I love this! How big is this enclosure and how many quail do you plan to keep in it? Are there any plants you plan to grow exclusively for them?
We've had a lot of predator problems of late, but I think we caught one of the perpetrators this morning.
This enclosure is smaller than previous 8 x 24 and it's one square foot per bird. I however like to keep it around 2 ft per bird. I'm doing a combo of plants – this is a test run as quail can be very finicky. Example my coturnix didn't like broccoli but my bobwhite ate it up. I have bell peppers and Roma tomatoes in there now and will plant the rest by seed this weekend. Predators are a pain, we're fenced in on this acre which is nice and Dixie patrols all night. Which reminds me I still need to come see you.. It's been so crazy here trying to get this first property up for sale. I'll be in touch… Was nice to hear from you!

Home/Sports/Coach of América is very clear after beating Toluca!
Coach Fernando Ortiz considers that having thrashed Toluca at home 3-0 at the Azteca Stadium represents a boost for the squad, which has not been going through a good time.
In the post-match press conference, the Argentine Fernando Ortiz, interim coach of América, celebrated the local victory -after five months- and his club's thrashing of Toluca 3×0 this Sunday .
In his opinion, this result represents a mental boost to face the rest of the Clausura 2022 Tournament and seek to get into the Liga MX group , while continuing to occupy the last places in the general classification.
The azulcrema crushed, not only on the scoreboard with goals from Roger Martínez (7), Diego Valdés (15) and Alejandro Zendejas (18), but also in the rhythm of the game Toluca and returned the joy to the millions of fans who has the club throughout Mexico, the United States and the scattered in the rest of the world.
"We know the reality we live in, that's why we needed to win, there was no other option; today we were able to do it for more goals, but it doesn't matter, we had to win at home and that was the most important thing to seek classification", added Ortiz.
For the Argentine strategist, the result is not the product of chance but of important work carried out in recent training sessions.
Likewise, he also referred to the decision of the Eagles board to leave him in office until the end of the current tournament: "It was already a dream to lead America is one of the satisfactions I have, I thank the people who had me confidence and now I don't think beyond the next game".

Cloth diapers. I usually use the Gerber birdseye prefolds (be sure they're prefolds…trust me on this one). They're about $11 for a 6-pack at Target.
Fabric. You'll need a piece at least 15″ X 6″. You could get 3 burp cloths out of one fat quarter.
Thread to match your fabric.
Bobbin wound with white thread.
Cut a 6″ strip of fabric.
Place your fabric right side up and put the diaper on top of it, lining up top edges. Make sure there's some fabric showing on each side of the diaper.
Sew the diaper to the fabric, just inside of the serged/finished edge of the diaper.
Trim your fabric so there's about 1/2″ beyond the diaper on both edges.
Open the fabric and diaper and press. I like to press it flat and then fold the fabric up onto the diaper and crease the seam nicely.
Fold under about 1/4″ on the top/long edge of fabric. Press.
Fold under the 1/2″ overhang on both sides and press.
Pin. Use A LOT of pins. You don't want anything slipping.
Top stitch, very close to the edge. I'm not sure where the line is between edge stitching and top stitching, but this could be it. You're going to want to top stitch the bottom (where you originally sewed the diaper to the fabric) last.
See why we used a white bobbin? Think how ugly this would have looked with a black bobbin!
You're done! Now go make a onesie to match!
If you want to make the kind with a strip of fabric down the middle, here's a great tute for them. You can easily leave the ribbon off and just top stitch the edges, if you want them to be more "manly".

Europe's strongest economy and manufacturing powerhouse has quadrupled the amount of industrial robots it has installed in the last 20 years, without causing human redundancies.
The new Gene Haas Training Center in the city of Lebanon, Ind., which is served by IMPA, is providing CNC and robotics training to employees of area companies, as well as to the general public.
If you believe the great robot takeover has begun, then Michigan appears to be ground zero. Michigan has the nation's highest rate of industrial robots as a percentage of workers, and the state's factories are now using nearly as many robots as the entire West Coast of the United States.
Robotic sewing machines help bring clothing manufacturing back to the US.
The conversation we are not having, however, is how existing AI is able to create, not eliminate, jobs. Nowhere is this more evident than in advanced manufacturing where AI can improve the precision and speed of production that maximize the skills of machinist, enhancing their competitiveness on the global market.
Are you about to be replaced by a robot? The question has broad implications for the U.S. economy, especially the manufacturing sector. Industries that robotize tend to increase output. But robots can have dire consequences for workers.
Two economists recently concluded that both jobs and wages fall in parts of the U.S. where more robots are installed.
Manufacturing's new face – clean operations in modern, well-lit, well-staffed industrial plant settings – is driving domestic employment growth, and robots are a key cog in that modern machinery.
From 2010 to 2016, according to a white paper for the Association for Advancing Automation, 136,748 robots were shipped to U.S. customers, the most ever in the domestic robotics industry.
The US should focus on what it does best: software, sensors, and design. Building the factories and production lines of the future demands the kind of expertise that US-based engineers and system integrators are best positioned to deliver. After all, we built the internet. So let's build the Internet of Things, starting in the factory.
To improve life on the line, Boeing took a note from Kenny Chesney: no shoulders, no back, no problems. In other words, it brought in robots. Boeing installed the Fuselage Automated Upright Build system at its 777 factory in Everett, Washington, in December, 2015. It started out assembling the front section of each fuselage; this month, it takes on the rear as well.
Robots are inevitably going to automate millions of jobs in the US and around the world, but there's an even more complex scenario on the horizon, said roboticist Matt Rendall. In a talk Tuesday at SXSW, Rendall painted a picture of the future of robotic job displacement that focused less on automation and more on the realistic ways in which the robotics industry will reshape global manufacturing.
Automation is a new mass economic problem, one that arguably affected the outcome of the presidential election. Thousands of Americans have already been displaced by a force of much more efficient workers—machines.
BCA has been in his family since 1905.
The company has a factory in China, but Kamler recently moved ten percent of BCA's business back to the U.S. Why? Wages for Chinese workers had soared out of sight.
Kamler bought an abandoned factory and created 140 jobs -- a lifeline in this distressed industrial town. But the only way to make it work was investing in robots.
Thirty of the world's top scientists are scheduled to meet at the University of California at San Diego in February to discuss the toughest challenges in robotics and automation.
Schoolchildren watch as a self-driving delivery robot developed by Starship Technologies drives past them in Tallinn, Estonia. The robots are arriving on sidewalks in two U.S. cities this month.
Help me with my job. But don't take it. The new cohort of collaborative robots or "co-bots" changes the relationship between man and robot; they're smaller, safer, more easily programmable and much less expensive than their industrial robot cousins. In short, they are designed to work with, not for, people.
The manufacturing sector is in the midst of another major transformation. The confluence of several technology megatrends maturing at the same time—including, among others, Big Data and advanced analytics, robotics and automation, artificial intelligence and virtual reality—is heralding the fourth industrial revolution, known colloquially as Industry 4.0.
In the last few years, there has been significant development in drones, driverless cars, and collaborative robots. Therefore, the researchers suggest additional support (read: funding) for studies on human-robot interactions in order to integrate robots into daily life. On a fundamental level, they also urge a strong focus on STEM education.
What you may not know is that every product that Vecna offers is made on its Cambridge campus.
So it would only make sense for Vecna to take on all of the prototyping and assembly operations itself, rather than outsourcing them. Theobald says making everything onsite allows the company to accelerate the engineering and manufacturing processes.
Adidas says their Atlanta factory will create around 160 jobs for the area, but there's no word on what those jobs will be. Most likely, they will be programming, quality control, and maintenance jobs to maintain the assembly line, rather than low-skill, high pay manufacturing jobs of yore.
Rapid technical change is not something new. We have experienced technological change that substitutes machines and computers for individual workers for many years. And yet, despite the ups and downs of the business cycle, the U.S. economy continues to return to full employment.
The next time you buy a new iPhone, it's possible that it will have been made by a robot.
Our study demonstrates that companies in two leading industrial nations have set high ambitions for Industry 4.0 but will need to accelerate their efforts to implement these technological advances and achieve their goals.
Mercedes has returned skilled humans to its production lines.
Today we all have interests in accelerating technological innovation and automation, but a few people have the belief that we should forestall that progress because they hold to a discredited 19th century idea that tech kills jobs. It's time to replace that idea with this one: tech creates jobs, wealth, and opportunity.
Economists debate whether automation and technology are the way out of a productivity rut.
One of Area Development's staff editors recently interviewed Nigel Dessau, author of Become a 21st Century Executive: Breaking Away From the Pack. Dessau has more than 25 years experience in marketing and sales support in both the U.S. and Europe, having previously held positions at ADCLARO, AMD, and Sun Microsystems.
When Rethink Robotics was founded in 2008, it was called Heartland Robotics. When it launched its first manufacturing robot in 2012, founder Rodney Brooks spoke personally about how the technology could support a rebirth in U.S. manufacturing.
Because of improved cost and performance, growth in the installed base of industrial robots is expected to accelerate to 10 percent annually over the next decade.
obots have been doing tough jobs for over half a century, mostly in the automotive sector, but they've probably had a bigger impact in Hollywood movies than on factory floors.
Four years after moving manufacturing to India in 2008, Cambridge robotics maker Energid Technologies Corp. brought production and a handful of jobs back to Massachusetts, squeezed by rising tariffs on parts imported to its Bangalore factory and frustrated by the unpredictable Indian bureaucracy and difficulties shipping its industrial robots to US markets.
Today, with robotics sales climbing, the company plans to ramp up production. But rather than looking to China, which conventional thinking would suggest, Energid is strongly considering expanding at its facility in Burlington.
Manufacturing needs to be closer to the centers of design and innovation and closer to end markets. So factories of the future will be smaller, nearer to customers and operated by local talent.
The use of robots in manufacturing is expected to grow rapidly over the next 15 years.
company that makes robots designed to work closely with humans has a new version that addresses the limitations of its first effort.
We are in the midst of a fourth wave of technological advancement: the rise of new digital industrial technology known as Industry 4.0, a transformation that is powered by nine foundational technology advances.
Advanced industrial robotics are at an "inflection point," with lower costs and higher capabilities set to reshape the global manufacturing industry, according to new research from Boston Consulting Group. It predicts that, in the next decade, almost a quarter of automated tasks will be performed by robots – up from 10 per cent today.
"We always thought about manufacturing when we were growing the company (Kiva Systems), but we were really focused on distribution. There was just so much opportunity in distribution that we said, well, manufacturing will come later—maybe we will spin off another company, maybe we will start another division. That still may happen. The underlying ideas can certainly be brought to manufacturing."
A group of economists, tech entrepreneurs, and academics discuss whether technological advances will automate tasks more quickly than the United States can create jobs.
Amazon.com Inc has installed more than 15,000 robots across 10 U.S. warehouses, a move that promises to cut operating costs by one-fifth and get packages out the door more quickly in the run-up to Christmas.
Pittsburgh is experiencing major economic growth due to a booming robotics industry.
As technology and globalization expand, the ends of the barbell economy are feared to be at risk. Is the gloom warranted?
From factory floors to warehouses and hospital floors, humans are increasingly finding themselves working alongside robots, and the impact of robots in the workforce are only expected to grow.
Innovative uses of the Internet and information technologies including effectively managing Big Data in cloud storage, 3-D printing, and the growing communication between electronic devices (known as the Internet of Things) are poised to transform our industrial base. The automation and robotization of U.S. manufacturing plants are further increasing productivity, efficiency and precision.
From robotic vacuum cleaners to self-driving cars, autonomy is being embedded into more and more products. And manufacturers are not immune. They're not only creating these products, they're also working with them. As such, US manufacturers are on the front lines of future production environments.
As a result, most units in this 100,000-plus square-foot factory are able to fetch and assemble components without further human input. The Amberg plant is an early-stage example of a concerted effort by the German government, companies, universities and research institutions to develop fully automated, Internet-based "smart" factories.

This chapter begins with a description of a respected ensemble teacher and program that is an example of Yinger's teaching as a conversation of practice metaphor. Recent critiques of ensemble teaching are examined based on this metaphor, followed by a description of the characteristics of a conductor-educator who engages in teaching as a conversation of practice. Next, influences on preservice teachers' response to becoming conductor-educators are examined including primary, secondary, and tertiary socialization; occupational role identity development; and beliefs about, metaphors of, and images of teachers and teaching. Next, descriptions of several curricular initiatives that can contribute to the development of conductor-educators are presented. The chapter ends with a discussion of the potential inherent in the conductor-educator model to transform school ensemble rehearsal tradition.

Lawmakers want Ivanka Trump's women's program to become law

President Donald Trump's senior adviser and daughter, Ivanka Trump, speaks at a Cops for Trump campaign rally, Monday, Feb. 10, 2020, in Portsmouth, N.H. (AP Photo/Robert F. Bukaty)
WASHINGTON (AP) — Two senators — one Republican and one Democrat — are leading a legislative effort to have a global women's initiative spearheaded by President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka written into law.
Sens. Lindsey Graham, R.-S.C., and Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., are behind the effort, the senior White House adviser announced at a State Department anniversary event for herWomen's Global Development and Prosperity Initiative.
The proposed legislation the senators are introducing would make the economic empowerment of women a priority of U.S. foreign policy and ensure that the women's initiative continues beyond the Trump administration. It would also establish an Office of Women's Empowerment at the State Department.
Ivanka Trump said the legislation is a "long overdue goal."
The Graham-Shaheen bill must pass both the Republican-led Senate and the Democratic-controlled House before the president sign it into law.
Reps. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, and Lois Frankel, D-Fla., will sponsor the companion House legislation.
The State Department event was attended by several high-level administration officials, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, national security adviser Robert O'Brien and Larry Kudlow, Trump's top economic adviser, along with members of Congress and others.
Separately, Ivanka Trump announced that the initiative had reached 12 million women around the globe in the year since it was launched in February 2019. The program has a goal of helping 50 million women in developing nations advance economically by 2025.
Nearly 2 million women have participated in U.S.-supported workforce training and development programs, and more than 9,000 women-led businesses have received more than $1.6 billion in U.S. government-backed loans.
Ivanka Trump has promoted the Women's Global Development and Prosperity Initiative during visits to Africaand South America. She plans to discuss opportunities for women in business at events in Dubai later this week.
