Robots can now complete tasks by simply observing humans
It's hard to suppress the gnawing anxiety that every human being on this planet will be completely redundant within a decade.
And thanks to
, that process is about to be accelerated.
NVIDIA announced Sunday that a team of researchers has built a first-of-its-kind deep learning-based system that allows
to learn how to do a task by simply watching human beings do that task. The technology is designed to enhance communication between humans and robots, and help them work more seamlessly together in the workplace.
Yeah. Sure. That's what they want you to think.
"For robots to perform useful tasks in real-world settings, it must be easy to communicate the task to the robot; this includes both the desired result and any hints as to the best means to achieve that result," explained the researchers. "With demonstrations, a user can communicate a task to the robot and provide clues as to how to best perform the task."
You can see the process in action below.
Obviously the tech is in its infancy. Today they are moving blocks and toy cars, but tomorrow? Christ, who knows.
The team is presenting its research at International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) this week.

Last Time Out
Harvard (1-0) captured its eighth varsity title, its first since 1994, at the prestigious San Diego Crew Classic last weekend on Mission Bay. The Crimson came from behind to finish 2.75 seconds ahead of runner-up California in Sunday's grand final and claim the Copley Cup. The second varsity placed second to Cal, making up an open-water deficit before the Golden Bears pulled away late, in the competition for the Sharp Cabrillo Cup. The third varsity, freshman and second freshman eights all won races at Cornell Saturday, while the varsity and second varsity earned wins against the Big Red in their San Diego heats Saturday.
Last Season
Harvard defeated Brown in all five races between the teams April 9, 2011 on the Charles River. The Crimson varsity eight won by 2.6 seconds to avenge its lone dual loss of 2010. Harvard's second varsity won by 11.5 seconds.
History Lesson
Ownership of the Stein Cup has alternated in each of the last seven seasons, with the home team winning each time, but the Crimson owns a 38-9 edge in the cup series. Harvard had won five straight dual meetings against Brown before the Bears' half-second win in 2006 ended the Crimson's streak of 24 straight dual wins overall. Harvard has defeated 14 dual opponents in a row since losing to the Bears in 2010.
Harvard won the first 19 races for the Stein Cup as well as the seven documented meetings between the schools before the introduction of the trophy in 1965. Four of those races occurred in the 19th century, beginning with an 1859 race on Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester, Mass.
Scouting the Bears
While Harvard was racing in San Diego, Brown (0-2) was on the other end of the West Coast, racing Washington in Seattle. The Huskies topped the Bears in all five races, taking the varsity eight event by six seconds. A week earlier, Brown fell at Yale in three races, losing the varsity race by just 1.9 seconds.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – Sacramento State redshirt freshman Justin Dillon carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning and allowed no runs on just one hit over eight innings pitched to lead Sacramento State to a 7-3 win in the rubber game of a three-game series at Bakersfield.
The only hit allowed by Dillon was an infield single to shortstop leading off the bottom of the eighth inning by Bakersfield second baseman David Metzgar. In his longest outing as a Hornet, Dillon had three strikeouts and three walks while throwing a career-high 93 pitches to earn his second collegiate win.
The Sacramento State (27-17, 14-4 WAC) offense gave Dillon an early lead, scoring three runs on three hits and one error against Bakersfield (17-25, 9-9 WAC) starter Austin Davis in the first inning. Davis settled down and kept the deficit at three until the fifth inning, when Rhys Hoskins reached on a one-out single and later scored on an error committed by Roadrunner shortstop Oscar Sanay.
Dillon walked the leadoff man in the bottom of the first before retiring the next seven batters. He worked around walks in the third and seventh innings as well, not allowing a runner to advance beyond second base through seven. In the eighth, Metzgar broke up the no hitter on his infield single, stole second, and advanced to third with one out before Dillon got a strikeout and groundout to end the inning.
In the top of the ninth inning the Hornets loaded the bases with one out and senior David Del Grande singled home Nathan Lukes with the fifth Hornet run. The bases remained loaded with two outs when Hornet shortstop Scotty Burcham singled through the left side of the infield to bring home Hoskins and junior Kyle Moses and build the Sacramento State lead to 7-0.
Those insurance runs proved to be important in the bottom of the ninth when, with Dillon being relieved by freshman Austin Ragsdale, the Roadrunners opened with a single and had a batter reach on an error in front of a 3-run homer to left off the bat of first baseman Soloman Williams. After another single Hornet sophomore closer Sutter McLoughlin was summoned from the bullpen and worked around a second Hornet error of the inning to finish off the win.
When McLoughlin came in the score was just short of it being a save situation, so despite earning the final three outs McLoughlin remained one save shy of the all-time program record. Davis dropped to 2-8 with the loss after allowing four runs (two earned) on seven hits and four walks over seven innings, striking out five.
Hoskins finished 3-for-4 with three runs scored and an RBI while Lukes and Burcham each had two hits, with Burcham adding three RBIs. Hoskins, Lukes, and Burcham each had a double in the contest and the home run from Williams was the only long ball hit in the series by either team. The Hornet pitchers had a 1.91 ERA in the weekend series, allowing just six earned runs with 19 strikeouts and only four walks.
With just three more weeks of competition left in the regular season, the Hornets play a pair of midweek games before hosting Chicago State next weekend. The team will host former assistant coach Jake McKinley and Menlo College at 1 p.m. Tuesday and play at Nevada at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

Harvey Keitel
"He solves problems."
|Harvey Keitel
Harvey Keitel in his younger, bad-ass years, circa 1990
|Harvey Wiesenthal Keitel
September 1, 1939
Brooklyn, New York, U.S.
|Actor, Problem-Solver, Nazi-Hunter
|Years active
|Jodie Foster (1974–Present)
Harvey Keitel (born September 1, 1939, the day World War II broke out in Europe) is a Jewish-American Actor, Problem-Solver, and Nazi-Hunter. His life and times helped inspire some of Hollywood's greatest screenwriters and directors to produce classic films like Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver, Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs, Robert Rodriguez's Spy Kids, Frederick Forsyth's The Odessa File, and Carrot Top's Chairman of the Board. Just last month Keitel disposed of the body of a 95-year-old former Nazi concentration camp commander by depositing the corpse in the trunk of a 1972 Oldsmobile and crushing the car in an industrial-size scrap-metal compacter in an Argentine junk yard.
Early life[edit]
Family Influence[edit]
Keitel was born in Brooklyn, New York on the day in 1939 when World War II broke out. His mother was Shawanda Jones and his father was Harry "Potter" Keitel, a Jewish immigrant from Kentshire, Ukraine. Keitel's parents owned and ran a laundry service and his father moonlighted as a pimp on the side. Keitel's father spent countless hours teaching his son how to clean bloody clothes and broker sex for money between scuzzy men and adolescent girls.
Childhood Nazi Problem-Solving[edit]
In his first few years growing up in Brooklyn, Keitel attended Zion Preschool and at the age of four, decided to join the Zionist Anti-Nazi Underground Army (a sub-branch of the United States Coast Guard), a decision that took him to Germany while it was still under the control of the Third Reich. He successfully participated in "Operation: Inglourious Basterds" during his time in Europe as a small child. Although the details of Keitel's involvement remain classified, it is widely rumored that he helped dispose of the bodily remains of Adolf Hitler after the Fuhrer was found dead in an underground bunker in Berlin. After his return to the United States, he was a street performer for several years and was thus able to support himself and his family by "acting."
Adult Career[edit]
Stint as a Pimp[edit]
By the age of 17, Harvey Keitel had given up street acting and had moved into sex trafficking, following in the footsteps of his father as a pimp in the back alleys of New York. One of his first ho's was a 13-year-old girl named Jodie Foster, whom he eventually seduced for himself. Although Keitel and Foster never married, they remain together as a couple to this day.
Military Service in 'Nam[edit]
At the age of 23, Harvey Keitel was shot in the arm by a crazed Italian taxi cab driver while trying to collect his cut of the fee charged by one of his prostitutes for servicing the cab driver. Keitel vowed to give up his life as a pimp and instead enrolled in the United States Marine Corps, where he made the rank of Captain and served with distinction in Vietnam, burning villages and native children to ashes with his friend Agent Orange.
Discovery by Hollywood[edit]
Discharged with Honor from the military in 1981, Keitel returned to the States and drifted into obscurity as a mediocre petty thief. Then, in 1991, Keitel met film director Quentin Tarantino in a pawn shop in Idaho, and Tarantino auditioned Keitel for the role of "Mr. White" in Tarantino's upcoming crime caper, Reservoir Dogs. Keitel won the role and joined the cast and crew for filming immediately. Although Tarantino praised his performance when the movie was released in 1992, Keitel said he would rather solve problems than act. Keitel thus fell into a malaise and wandered the country aimlessly for almost a year.
Alter-Ego Nazi-Hunter[edit]
Then, in 1993, Keitel wandered into the Rabbi Schlomo Lipschitz Synagogue in Mobile, Alabama. While inside, Keitel rediscovered his Jewish heritage and vowed to track down and kill as many former Nazis in hiding as possible. Since he had gained an extensive rap sheet due to his years of criminal activity, causing his passport to be revoked, Keitel found it necessary to adopt a new identity so he could travel abroad killing ex-Nazis unhindered. By calling in some favors owed to him by certain elements of the criminal underworld, Keitel was able to obtain a Birth Certificate, Driver's License, and Passport proving himself to be Winston "the Wolf" Wolfe, an expert problem-solver (particularly of the kind concerning clandestine disposal of Nazi corpses).
From 1993 until 2003, Keitel roamed South America and Eastern Europe in the guise of Winston Wolfe tracking down former Gestapo and S.S. officers who had served in the Third Reich; upon finding them, he would invariably stab them, stuff them into large, gas-guzzling American cars, and have the cars crushed in junk yards. Finally, after ten years of hard anti-Nazi work, Keitel/Wolfe was honored with the Zionists Anonymous Award for Outstanding Achievement in Nazi-Hunting and Corpse Disposal.
Return to Hollywood[edit]
In June of 2009, Harvey Keitel dropped the charade of being Winston Wolfe and resumed his true identity in order to return to his street-performer roots. Under the wing of comic genius Carrot Top, Keitel made a Hollywood comeback and starred in the blockbuster feature comedy Chairman of the Board. As a result, Keitel went on to win an Oscar for Best Leading Actor. During the 2010 Academy Awards ceremony, as he walked on stage to accept his award on national television, he was joined by life partner and former ho, Jodie Foster, as well as the ghosts of dozens of dead fascists. Director Martin Scorsese walked up and announced that Keitel had been his inspiration for the classic movie Taxi Driver, and director Robert Rodriguez took the microphone and admitted that his hit film franchise, "Spy Kids," had been loosely based on Keitel's espionage work in Germany as a four-year-old. Keitel then took over and gave a rambling 20-minute acceptance speech in broken Yiddish; upon finishing, he ran to the roof of the building and boarded a waiting helicopter for an 18-hour flight to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Personal life[edit]
Harvey Keitel has remained in a long-term relationship with former prostitute Jodie Foster since the early 1970's. They never had children together.

CarePrecise Access State delivers every data point for each selected state, DC or Puerto Rico, plus non-U.S. practice locations and international Armed Forces locations, contained in the National Plan & Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) developed and maintains this database. All healthcare providers who are HIPAA covered entities must obtain a National Provider Identifier (NPI) by reporting their information via the NPPES. This represents virtually all of U.S. physicians, hospitals, and other providers who accept insurance or are associated with a hospital., enhanced with data from the federal PECOS (Medicare) database. These are the same data fields as in the comprehensive CarePrecise Access Complete database, but for an individual state or U.S. territory. See the Access Complete page for additional description.

Relational Key
The NPI is a unique 10-digit numerical code assigned to every HIPAA-covered healthcare provider, including individuals and organizations, by the U.S. Department of Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Type 1 indicates an individual provider (i.e., physician, psychologist, etc.); Type 2 indicates an organizational provider (i.e., hospital, lab, pharmacy, etc.)
For Type 2 providers, may be one of several organizational units, each with its own NPI number. Y = provider is a subpart. No = not a subpart. X = question not answered.
CMS is not yet providing tax numbers of this type
Y = Physicians and non-physician practitioners who are of a type/specialty that is legally eligible to order and refer in the Medicare program and who have current enrollment records in Medicare (i.e., they have enrollment records in PECOS)
From the Office of Inspector General's excluded providers database (LEIE). A warning in this field should not be taken as definitive; the user should check the tExcluded table and consider other sources of provider fraud and exclusion information.
(Algorithmically derived*).
Y= elements in the providers record indicated a match with a listing in the federal excluded providers database (see the table tExcluded below)
The exclusion type from the LEIE database, explaining the reason that a provider was barred from billing Medicare. Fields with a Y in the Warning field will display this code.
The code's definition can be found at this link. A CSV file listing these exclusion descriptions is included in the CarePrecise Access Complete CSV download file.
Y= this provider reported that it operates as either a multi-specialty group or single-specialty group.
Name of the provider's authorizing official, if other than the listed individual provider. For organizations, this is the contact name.
(Provider organization names, esp. Type 2 providers; MDB and CSV formats)
(Provider phone and fax numbers; MDB and CSV formats)
(Provider Taxonomy codes indicating specialties and subspecialties for Type 1/individual providers, and facility types for Type 2/organization providers; MDB and CSV formats)
The number of the NPPES taxonomy field (1 through 15)
The source data (NPPES) permits group codes to be reported in up to 15 fields in this section. CarePrecise creates a 1-to-many table, listing each of a provider's reported taxonomy group codes in a separate record. The Gnum is the NPPES Group Taxonomy field number in which the code was reported, allowing the code be matched with the specific group specialty in the tTaxo table. For instance, a code in tTaxoGroup field Gnum 3 indicates a group practice of the specialty reported in Tnum 3 in the tTaxo table.
This is the newest of the data released by CMS in the NPPES file. This is where the group taxonomy codes are reported. CMS does not report the codes in the taxonomy section (which appear in our tTaxo table) because they represent an additional layer of information on any one or more of the tTaxo codes.
193200000X for a multi-specialty practice
193400000X for a single-specialty practice
Provider CoLoCode™ (co-location code, a CarePrecise algorithmically derived* exclusive). The NPI and CoLoCode comprise the dual relational key for this table. The NPI identifies the provider record, and the CoLoCode identifies the physical location. The CoLoCode is an up to 40-character string that stands in for detailed location data, and is not intended to be sensical to the human viewer.
This code is an algorithmically derived conformation of the provider's practice location, permitting identification of providers who practice at the same location, for instance, physician groups, dental groups, radiology groups, etc. By using this table in conjunction with the tTaxoGroups table, it is possible to visualize the group entity (generally an organization) and its provider members.
Count of providers matching this co-location (algorithmically derived* conformation of the provider's practice location; see tCoLoCodes above). Indicates the number of providers practicing at this co-location.
(MDB and CSV formats)
(MDB and CSV formats)
The CarePrecise processing date on which it was discovered that the provider record was dropped from the NPPES database. Corresponds to the most recent previous CMS update date on which the provider data was dropped from the NPPES database.
Type 1 is individual providers (i.e., physicians, psychologists, etc.); Type 2 is organizational providers (i.e., hospitals, labs, etc.)
This is a generated field based on EntityType.
The federal data contains variations on state codes, abbreviations and full state names; we conform this field to standard 2-character state codes. A small number of non-US postal addresses remain nonconforming.
This table, sourced from the LEIE, lists all provider records in the federal excluded providers database. A provider may be excluded (barred from billing Medicare) for reasons of a criminal nature, among other reasons. This table contains no relational key; however, it is used to produce the Warning field in the tEntity table, which does include the provider's NPI. This table should be referenced for backup information.
Printer-friendly version of the fields listing.
* Algorithmically derived data in the CPAC dataset includes data that is extracted/mined from the source databases, but which has a margin of error and should not be relied upon as conclusive. Record linking algorithms are used to enrich our data when direct correlation (via a unique identifier field) is not available, using available information in name, address, phone, taxonomy, and other fields. In particular, the data on providers excluded from billing Medicare (from the HHS Office of Inspector General's excluded providers database) can only be linked to NPI records by this means. Please note that when matches are found, there may be instances where an individual or firm has the same or similar name and location information as an excluded provider but is actually a different party. Therefore, it is important that you verify a potential match with the debarring agency identified in the record information. In like manner, the available federal data does not provide information on an individual provider's practice group(s); using record-linkage technology, we extract the group information by matching providers sharing the same practice location, and these group data can be corroborated or enriched with the group practice codes provided by CMS.

Spain, non-stop nightlife
Spain is synonymous with fun, high spirits, great weather, and above all, a fantastic nightlife. You'll soon find that specially in large cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Bilbao and Granada, and in areas such as the island of Ibiza, the Costa del Sol and Benidorm to name just a few, there's a whole host of restaurants, bars, concert venues, pubs and clubs that guarantee you a night to remember, and which will go on until dawn and beyond. Going out for tapas in a string of different bars, getting to know the open and friendly temperament of the Spaniards, dancing to the beat of top international DJs, partying on in an after-hours club... there are numerous different options to choose from, which is what makes Spain's nightlife so incredibly special. Come and discover them.
A unique atmosphere: a whole night awaits It's very common in Spain to see gatherings of people enjoying a drink and chatting and laughing together in the bars from about 10 in the evening, and then on until the small hours of the morning. Not only that, but thanks to the mild temperatures, in spring and summer almost all the venues have an outdoor terrace where customers can sit outside and enjoy their drinks. The most popular days for going out are Fridays and Saturdays.
Going out for tapas This is definitely one of the Spanish customs you'll love most. And that's because going out for tapas doesn't only mean going from bar to bar having a caña (a small glass of beer) and various portions of typical dishes. It is also a great way of discovering a multitude of bars with a great atmosphere, full of people having fun, and of taking part in what is really a whole way of life. Try asking for a chato (a squat glass of wine), a sangria, a tinto de verano (literally "summer red wine", or wine diluted with fizzy lemonade), a pulga (mini-sandwich)… After doing the rounds of the tapas bars, you'll feel in perfect shape for going dancing.
Something for everybody Looking for live music? Why not check out one of the many concert venues, where you'll be able to hear all kinds of music, from singer-songwriters through to rock, jazz… or pop into any of the popular flamenco clubs to be found particularly in the area of Andalusia. And when it comes to dancing, whatever your age of preferences you're guaranteed to find a place to suit you: alternative style, with rock music, punk and indie; other trendier places where you can wear your coolest gear; electronic music to dance till you drop; or a more relaxed atmosphere ideal for quiet conversation... You'll also find different neighbourhoods in some of the larger cities so you can opt for an atmosphere to suit your mood.
Top clubs Nowhere else in the world will you find clubs as famous as those that await you in areas of Spain such as Ibiza. Thousands of tourists flock to our country to discover the legendary nights on offer on this island. The party begins by day with the street parades announcing the evening's attractions in the clubs that night. Then, unbridled fun and wild partying with go-go dancers, celebrities, a swimming pool inside an enormous club, foam parties... anything's possible.
Who said stop? The night never ends. Although some venues close before three in the morning, discos are allowed to remain open until the sun comes up. And if you still feel like partying after that, in cities like Madrid, Barcelona and Ibiza you'll find clubs which open in the early hours of the morning so you can carry on having fun.
A sweet breakfast to top it all off If you're somebody who feels a little peckish after a night out on the town, why not try the Spanish custom of enjoying a delicious cup of hot chocolate with churros (hot fritters) sprinkled with sugar while you watch the sun come up. You'll love it!
University cities If you can't wait until Friday to go out, then Spain is also the place for you. And that's because, mainly in university cities like Salamanca, Santiago de Compostela and Granada, people very often meet to go out on Thursdays. The presence of students guarantees you'll always find a lively atmosphere in these towns.
Stag and hen nights, group trips… Did you know that there are a multitude of companies in Spain which can organise an unforgettable stag or hen night? You won't have to worry about the flight, the destination or the disco. All you'll have to think about is having a great time.
International festivities Many of Spain's fiestas attract thousands of people, all intent on having a good time, and these are the best times of all to guarantee a great party atmosphere. February is carnival time in Cadiz and Tenerife, when the cities are filled with a multitude of spectacular costumes. In March the Fallas (bonfire night) in Valencia offer the sight of colossal castles of fire. In July, you can see the typical bull-running through the streets of Pamplona in the fiestas of San Fermín. August is the time of the fiesta of the Tomatina (tomato fight) in Buñol (Valencia)... There's plenty to choose from.
Festivals and major events All year round in Spain you'll find there are a whole host of music, theatre and film festivals on offer, as well as a wide range of major events which guarantee a great night's entertainment. These include options to suit every possible taste –everything from world renowned massively-attended occasions, through to others which are less well-known but particularly popular and entertaining. You can find out which of these events will be on during your stay in Spain by using the events search engine by date and destination.
Gay scene Freedom, respect and tolerance are among Spain's hallmarks, and that's why the country has become one of the number one destinations on the gay circuit, and where a great time is guaranteed. Some of the most popular spots are places such as Maspalomas, in Gran Canaria, and Sitges, on the Costa Brava. It is also quite common to find neighbourhoods in large cities which are particularly known for their numerous gay venues, as is the case of El Eixample, in Barcelona, or Chueca, in Madrid. This last neighbourhood is especially festive during the Gay Pride parade, which attracts thousands of people every year.
Partying by the sea Can you imagine spending a night listening to music beside the sea? Well, you can do just that in numerous places throughout Spain, and particularly on the coasts of Catalonia, in the Region of Valencia and in Andalusia, where you'll find bars right on the beachfront. For example, the nights of San Juan (in late June) are famous, particularly in Alicante; as well as various popular festivities like the one in Cadiz in August to coincide with the city's football tournament, where thousands of people flock to the beach to enjoy a barbecue.
As you can see, in Spain you'll find a thousand excuses for staying awake and making the most of the night hours to have the maximum fun and enjoyment. To ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible, here are some tips. Practical advice - Most big cities have night bus services which usually operate from midnight until six in the morning. - Although many discos are open until dawn, some of them –particularly in residential areas– close between one and three in the morning. - Admission to discos and nightclubs is only permitted to people over 18. - The sale of alcoholic drinks is only permitted to people over 18. - The consumption of alcoholic drinks outdoors is prohibited, with the exception of the terraces belonging to venues which are specially adapted for this purpose. - Some beaches may have restrictions regarding noise, swimming and access, depending on the local regulations.

Students at Hofstra University wore white ribbons during their graduation ceremony Sunday to honor a fellow student who was accidentally killed by a police officer confronting an armed intruder.
The ceremony was held two days after Andrea Rebello died at her off-campus home in Uniondale.
While she was not scheduled to graduate, the 21-year-old junior may have been at Sunday's ceremony to support her older sorority sisters. Instead, the graduates honored her.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Sunday's commencement began with a moment of silence, and then Hofstra's president read one of Rebello's favorite quotes: "Love the life you live. Live the life you love."
On Saturday evening, flags on campus were at half-staff and students held a silent outdoor vigil in front of a photo of Rebello. Students sang "Ave Maria," surrounded by candles and flowers.
Rebello was killed when a police officer aiming at the would-be robber opened fire, hitting her as well as the ex-convict, Dalton Smith, who had entered the house.
Police said Smith had gotten into the house through a front door that was left open. He forced three women -- including Rebello's twin sister, Jessica -- and a man who lived in the home upstairs at gunpoint to get money and jewelry.
They did not have a lot of money at the home, and Smith told one of the women to go withdraw money from the bank, threatening that he would kill one of her friends if she didn't return in eight minutes, according to police.
She called 911 as she drove to the bank and did not return to the home.
Police responded shortly after the 911 call. When they arrived, Smith told one of the hostages, Rebello's sister, to go downstairs and tell police everything was OK. When she opened the door, she ran out and told officers there was a man with a gun.
Police said two officers then entered the house and went up a narrow staircase. At that point, one of the officers saw Smith with Rebello in a headlock, and Smith pointed a gun at the officer.
The officer then fired the fatal shots, police said. The officer is an eight-year NYPD veteran and has been with Nassau County police for 12 years.
He is now out on sick leave, according to county homicide squad Lt. John Azzata.
Students and graduates who spoke with NBC 4 New York Sunday said Rebello's death has made them more aware of their surroundings. It's also given them a deeper appreciation for the new road ahead.
"It's a bittersweet moment," said junior Jucharan Dadra. "We're trying to celebrate something, but it's a devastating loss to our community here."
Rebello's funeral is scheduled for Wednesday in Sleepy Hollow, in Westchester County.

Bloomingdale's is launching a new campaign, which is essentially aiming to build 'Loyalists' via QR Codes and SMS call-to-action strategies, starting with a print campaign in the April Edition of Condé Nast's Vanity Fair magazine.
The company recognizes that their consumer has transitioned to one whom is typically mobile; it would be more efficient to reach them on the technology that they have 'in-hand.'
The advertisement located in Vanity Fair is a two-page spread, which features Michael by Michael Kors and Marc by Marc Jacobs' dynamic Spring/Summer 2012 Collections.
The strategic 'calls-to-action' are located in a blue box on the top right-hand side of the second page.
Consumers can scan a QR code, send an SMS message, or enter the URL address http://www.bloomingdales.com/loyallist on their mobile devices.
The QR code forwards consumers to a tutorial video that explains the new Bloomingdale's Loyallist program. (A similar concept is established when a consumer sends an SMS to the number provided)
Essentially, consumers receive one point for every dollar they spend in-store, online or in outlets. There are also chances to earn double points on cosmetics and fragrances.
If consumers get 5,000 points, they receive a $25 rewards card.
This allows Bloomingdales to establish a more personalized, one-to-one relationship with their consumers.

The Broncos announced Tuesday that they signed Chad Bumphis, a rookie receiver out of Mississippi State, to their practice squad. The team promoted Tavarres King from the practice squad to the 53-man roster last week and never filled his spot. (King was waived Saturday morning to make room for Von Miller.)
Bumphis went undrafted in 2013 and was signed by the Dolphins in May. He played well in the preseason but was waived.
The 5-foot-10, 202-pound receiver was a three-year starter at Mississippi State, where he played in 51 total games, logging 159 receptions for 2,273 yards and 24 touchdowns.

60 seconds with Rajeev De Mello on the yields in EM
While so much of the bond market offers negative yields, emerging market debt is growing in attraction.
There is currently an unusual situation in which approximately $13 trillion worth of bonds have negative yields.
For all investors in bonds, be they institutional or retail, this is an incredibly difficult problem to solve. Not only are investors getting nothing in terms of yield from their bonds, but they actually have to pay some kind of return to own any bonds.
We think that emerging market bonds offer some type of solution to this problem - they generally have significantly higher yields than the bonds from developed markets.
We are also seeing their yield levels coming down, which means the value of the bonds rise, providing investors with capital appreciation.
For investors who are thinking about the long term, it is important to lock in some kind of yield – they'll need it for their spending requirements. Finding a basket or combination of bonds which gives investors a high yield over a sustained period is critical.
Considering the pick-up in yield that emerging markets offer compared to the developed world, it is an area worth considering for investors.

Queen hails 'Team Commonwealth'
The Queen has used her Commonwealth Day message to praise the family of nations as a "powerful influence of good for the future".
She stressed that experiences across the Commonwealth may be different but everyone is focused on the same goals.
In her annual address, she highlighted this year's Commonwealth theme - Team Commonwealth - and how nations understood they could achieve more by working together.
The Queen's pre-recorded message will form part of the annual Observance of Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey this afternoon attended by the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall and a host of dignitaries.
In her address, the Queen, who is head of the Commonwealth, said: "Affinities of history and inheritance from the past are strong, yet we are bound together by a sense that the Commonwealth is a powerful influence of good for the future.
"People of all ages from different cultures are weaving an ever-growing network of links which connect us in our diversity and our common purpose. It is this unity that is expressed in this year's theme: Team Commonwealth."
The Queen went on to say: "Experiences of life differ widely throughout the Commonwealth, and we each make contributions from sometimes very different viewpoints.
"But we are committed to the same goals. Together we offer each other encouragement and draw strength from this mutual support.
"The understanding that we belong together, and are able, through teamwork, to achieve far more than we could do alone, has always been at the heart of our approach.
"For all of us this is now captured in the Commonwealth Charter which sets out the values and principles which guide and motivate us."
The Queen also highlighted the Commonwealth Games, which will be staged in Glasgow this summer, and how her baton is making its way around the globe through 70 nations before returning to Scotland.
During the Westminster Abbey service, the Commonwealth will be celebrated with music, readings and hymns and will feature an address by schoolgirl campaigner Malala Yousafzai and former sporting stars Lord Coe and Baroness Grey-Thompson will both give a "reflection".
There will be a performance by acclaimed Mobo award winner and Brit nominee Laura Mvula and a poem - specially commissioned for Commonwealth Day - will be read by South African writer and performance artist Phillippa Yaa de Villiers.
The Observance, Britain's largest annual inter-faith gathering, will be attended by nearly 1,000 children.
Commonwealth Day, held annually on the second Monday in March, will feature the Queen unfurling a banner as part of the Fly A Flag For The Commonwealth initiative, where hundreds of flags will be flown across the UK today.
In his message, Commonwealth S ecretary-General Kamalesh Sharma said: "The essence of a team is that - like the Commonwealth - its members know the advantage of working together and the strength of mutual support.
"The essence of a team also is that - like the Commonwealth - it has shared aspirations and a sense of common purpose, and relies on the range of contributions and different strengths of each of its members.
"The essence of a successful team - such as the Commonwealth - is that together it achieves more than the sum of its parts."

Several of those, like NicoNico Douga and calendar app Yuusha no Kiroku, are not launch games in the tradition sense.
They do not seem to be stand alone titles, but downloadable apps. In this day and age, with the rise of smartphones, I think that's fine. But let's not confuse them with "launch titles" in the traditional sense. That's not what they are.
NicoNico Douga is supposedly free, so lumping them together with paid box titles could come off as slightly misleading. Many of these titles do appear to be boxed paid titles, however.
Sony did state that over 100 titles are currently in development for the PS Vita and showed big titles like an HD Zone of the Enders collection that is Vita bound.
