The Royal Challengers Bangalore have had a mixed bag of a tournament so far. With the kind of pedigree in their line-up, four wins off nine matches – one game was a washout – is a bit disappointing. However, with teams cramped up on the points table, they stand a more than decent chance of making it to the top four. However, their immediate target will be beating Kings XI Punjab at home.
Ahead of the fixture, RCB skipper Daniel Vettori spoke at length about his team's composition, and identified the areas they need to work on.
RCB's overdependence on a couple of batsmen
It's always difficult to expect every batsman to fire because the nature of the game is so different and situations vary all the time. Within the group, we don't think about who has fired. For us every new game is an opportunity to score runs. We have our best batsmen batting in top six to do the job, which they have. As a batting unit, we've done a very good job.
Lack of opportunity for fringe Indian players
We'd love to have someone like Syed Mohammed in the team. But unfortunately, he's yet to recover fully from the knee injury he sustained during the CLT20 2011. You want to put out a team on the park that can win every day. Then, you look at players who can possibly come and assist at some stage. We're still fifth on the table, and we know if we win four or five more games, we'll be in the playoffs. So, I don't think there's room for too much of experimentation. We'll stick with the guys who have done such a good job for us for a long time.
Including Muttiah Muralitharan in the playing XI
We'd love to have Murali in the team whenever there's a chance. But the combination that has worked for us for a long time is playing three overseas batsmen. We'll continue to look at that. It's very difficult to get the right balance with the overseas players, and when you do, you stick with that.
RCB's fielding performance
We've fielded exceptionally well. We dropped two catches in the last game, which we're very disappointed about. But overall, fielding has been a real strength of ours as compared to the last year when we started poorly in that aspect. I couldn't be happier with our fielding.
Inconsistency in the bowling department
We probably haven't bowled well as a unit. It's important to maintain the hold for the entire 20 overs. We have bowled well for 16-17 overs and have had two-three very bad ones, and that has cost us games. I think we've got to go out there and look to attack as much as we can. Taking wickets always makes things a little bit easier and it's something we haven't done as much as we need to. Bowlers need to search for wickets as much as possible.

But her legal counsel claims some information is being withheld because of various exemptions. An attorney in Fallin's office, Rebecca Frazier, released CDs containing the requested documents to several media outlets on Friday. In a letter to reporters accompanying the discs, Fallin's General Counsel Steve Mullins claims about 100 pages were withheld. He said these documents "fall within a privileged category." The Associated Press is one of several media outlets in Oklahoma that requested the documents connected to Fallin's decision in November to reject an expansion of the state's Medicaid program. Fallin claimed the expansion would be too costly both to the state and the federal government. Share Article A Share A A A Share Article

WASHINGTON -- Lincoln supposedly said: If I call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have? Five? No, calling a tail a leg does not make it a leg. Which brings us to the proposal to treat the District of Columbia as if it were a state.
Today's Democratic-controlled Congress wants to give D.C., by legislation, a full voting member in the House of Representatives. Having failed to achieve ratification of a constitutional amendment, sent to the states in 1978, which would have conferred statehood on D.C. (only 16 states ratified it, 22 short of the required number), Democrats now say an amendment is unnecessary, a statute will suffice to do essentially that.
Many clauses in the Constitution leave room for conflicting interpretations. What constitutes "commerce ... among the several states," "establishment of religion," "cruel and unusual punishments"? Regarding the composition of the House of Representatives, however, the Constitution is unambiguous. Article I, Section 2 says the House shall be composed of members chosen "by the people of the several states."
Until the nation's flag has 51 stars -- at which point D.C. will have two senators -- the city should not have a full member of the House. (Today, D.C.'s "delegate" votes in committees, and on floor amendments -- as long as the vote does not change the outcome -- but not on final passage of legislation.) But those -- mostly Democrats -- who favor full House membership for D.C. cite Congress' constitutional power "to exercise exclusive legislation'' over ``the seat of the government." They say Congress can exercise its "exclusive legislation" power to nullify Article I, Section 2's requirement that House members be chosen by people "of the several states."
But that is preposterous: If Congress'"exclusive legislation" power concerning D.C. can trump one constitutional provision, it can trump any provision: Congress could establish a religion, stifle free speech or authorize unreasonable searches and seizures in D.C. And if Congress' power over D.C. allows it to award full House representation, why could it not also award two Senate seats? Today's Congress is pressing House representation for D.C. in part because of that predictable next step: D.C. would be a reliable source of two Democratic senators.
If majorities in both houses of today's Congress want the fewer than 600,000 residents of D.C. to be fully represented, they can accomplish that with legislation shrinking D.C. to the core containing the major federal buildings and monuments, and giving the rest back to Maryland. Democrats are uninterested in that because it would not serve their primary objective of increasing their Senate seats.
If Congress wants residents of D.C. as it exists to enjoy full representation, it can initiate the process of amending the Constitution to make it a state. But statehood would be a problem, for the contiguous states, Maryland and Virginia, and for the nation.
The new state probably would promptly enact a commuter tax hitting Maryland and Virginia residents. And, more important, the splendid vistas of the nation's capital might be jeopardized. They are protected by the limits on building heights that Congress mandates. But Congress would have no authority to impose such mandates on the new state. Congress admitted Oklahoma to statehood on the condition that Guthrie remain the state's capital until 1913. But in 1910 Oklahoma made Oklahoma City the capital, and the U.S Supreme Court held that statehood could not be conditioned by limiting a state's sovereign powers. Anyway, 38 state legislatures are unlikely to make of D.C. the only state with no rural interests, and one dominated by a single interest -- the federal government.
Meanwhile, Congress should ponder Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson's recent dissent when a federal appeals court ruled 2-1 that D.C.'s severe restriction on gun ownership violates the Second Amendment. She noted that the Second Amendment restricts the power only of Congress and the states, and she demonstrated that "there is no dispute that the Constitution, case law and applicable statutes all establish that the District is not a state within the meaning of the Second Amendment."
Neither is it a state within the meaning of Article I, Section 2. The Supreme Court will remind Congress of that, if Congress ever sends to a Democratic president, who would sign it, what today's Congress wants to send to President Bush, who surely would veto it. The Constitution's 23rd Amendment, enacted in 1961, entitles D.C. to the number of presidential electoral votes to which it would be entitled "if it were a state." Until it is one, calling it one by statute cannot generate for it the political entitlements "of the several states."

Who wants to play the "what makes the least sense in the golf world" game this wonderful Tuesday? Oh, you do. Great.
So, a guy wins two PGA Tour events in a row, breaking a winless streak dating back to 2008. He hasn't won two tournaments in a single PGA Tour season since 2004. He is arguably the hottest golfer on the planet right now.
Well, why wouldn't you change caddies after that? Ernie Els is doing just that after claiming both the CA Championship and the Arnold Palmer Invitational in consecutive starts. His caddie for both events was Ricci Roberts, a fellow South African, but Ernie is planning on bringing Dan Quinn to Augusta National to tote his sticks for the first major championship.
Ernie's reasoning?
"I don't think anybody can tell me anything more about Augusta than I already know," he said.
All right, that's a fine point, but the caddie isn't there just to give you course advice. They're the person that calms you and understands you and handles your nerves and remembers your strengths and weaknesses.
Quinn, a former NHL player and four-time winner of the American Century Celebrity Classic, is a fine golfer, but the move still seems strange. If Els walks away from Augusta without a green jacket, he may be regretting this decision.

Worldwide Flyfishing Discussion Talk flyfishing with members around the world! |
Thread Tools | Search this Thread | Rate Thread | Display Modes |
"HOMEWATERS" - fishing around the neighborhood, country, world...
We have anglers signed up from around the world, literally. I really enjoy finding out that someone from Patagonia, Iceland, Alaska or from all corners of the beautiful US-of-A have signed up for a FlyTalk login. As much as we appreciate people showing support by signing in, we need to have more reasons for everyone to post about themselves and their home waters.
I'd like to propose a new thread 'theme' I guess you'd call it to get people to share the essence of their home waters with us. A thread where people describe a memorable day of fishing in their home waters or abroad. This is not a fishing report where you have to hide the name of the spot, don't bother mentioning it unless you want. The idea is to give people a glimpse of the angling experience in your home waters. What might seem ordinary to you is extraordinary to someone else. By doing this we will all expand our knowledge and appreciation of angling around the world. Thoughts? I know I would love this. |

Thank you very much for your welcome, during this winter I've been around the hunting forums but as the summer arrives the fly fishing worm attacks again!!, so here I'm. I've been flyfishing in Chile, Argentina, Brazil and of course in my country. I think I have good information to share about flyfishing in Argentina, have any of you fish down here? Sorry if my english is not so good but I will try my best.. Regards L.G. |

I fish to get away from the daily grind of life, as we all do, and more often than not, I fish alone when I fish my homewaters. It's there that I often think about the saying 'It's not the destination, but the journey'. It's not the catching, but the fishing. It's not even the fishing, sometimes, it's just being out there.
If May is a time for hope and optimism and enthusiasm about the season ahead, surely October is the time for introspection and reflection about the season just past, and there's no better place to think these thoughts than one's homewaters. And by the season just ahead or past, I think we all know that this means more than just fishing. My homewaters mean a lot to me. It's where I end up when I daydream. It's where I spent my summers as a kid, where I learned to swim and sail, where I learned to dig steamers and rake quahogs (indeed I still do, sometimes in exactly the same spots where I fish). It's where I had my first kiss (on the beach, not in the water!), where, in the very distant future and when it's my time, I would be happy to take my last breath (just after releasing 'the one that didn't get away'). To stand waist-deep in my homewaters with the rest of the world at my back, and only the Bay or the vast ocean in front of me, on a chilly September morning or evening, is as close to heaven as I will get on Earth. I'm not a religious guy, but it's easy to see and talk to God in this place. The beauty and quaintness of Cape Cod and the Islands is undeniable, as is the phenomenal world-class fishing. And if I spent my childhood summers there, as many do and have, I would be proud to call this my homewaters. By the same token, the North Shore of Massachusetts has its own rustic beauty, be it more rocky and cold-watered, and justifiably it has its own devotees. Between these two places is Duxbury. It's a special place to me, and if you're not familiar with it, you need only look at a map or chart to see the Bays (Kingston and Duxbury) and the many coves, nooks, rivers, estuaries, peninsulas, marshes, and beaches that make this place very productive to fish. And it's as beautiful as anywhere on the East coast. Duxbury will always be my homewaters. Juro, in one of your posts about the most recent boneclave, you said something very profound. Something to the effect of "When I leave the island, I don't know if I'm re-entering reality or leaving it." Beautiful. In regards to our respective homewaters, I think we can all relate. |

BERKELEY — UC Berkeley professor Eli Yablonovitch is one of two recipients of the 2012 Harvey Prize, a prestigious international award for contributions in science, technology and medicine, among other areas.
His work over the last 30 years is responsible for technologies we use daily — innovations that could significantly alter our lives in the years to come.
Yablonovitch, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science, accepted the award April 30 in Haifa, Israel, for his "pioneering discoveries in photonics, optoelectronics and semiconductors," according to a news release from the American Technion Society. A panel of faculty members from several Israeli universities selected him out of a pool of 29 candidates. Two prizes of $75,000 are awarded yearly at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. Eric S. Lander, a biology professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University, received the award for the Human Health category.
"I'm very lucky to be counted among that group," said Yablonovitch during a telephone interview from the United Kingdom, where he had traveled to give several lectures at Cambridge University. Yablonovitch's photovoltaic research has yielded solar panel material that is 50 times more absorbent, thanks to the light-trapping factor known as the "Yablonovitch Limit" — or 4n2.
"It means that instead of the light going straight through the solar panel, it can be trapped inside," he explained, which causes light to bounce around inside, resulting in a more efficient solar panel. Almost all commercial panels worldwide use this concept.
Yablonovitch was also recognized for his work with photonic crystals, another technology used in optical telecommunications.
"It's the idea that, just like you have semiconductors that power our computers, you can have semiconductors for light," he said. Yablonovitch was later surprised to learn that the phenomenon already existed in nature, giving animals like peacocks and parrots their vivid colors.
As a result of Yablonovitch's research, solar panel efficiency has increased from 25 percent to 28.8 percent, making them more useful and affordable.
"(Solar energy is) going to play a bigger and bigger role every year that goes by," Yablonovitch speculated. "Eventually it will provide fuel. In 100 years, maybe all of our energy will come from solar panels."
Yablonovitch is also credited with being the first to place semiconductor lasers under mechanical pressure to improve their efficiency. Optical telecommunications, DVD players, red laser pointers and most computer mouse clicks now use this concept.
While his inventions are widely used today, Yablonovitch said it took decades for the scientific community to warm up to them. Yablonovitch's theories have since enjoyed great acclaim and recognition by various scientific organizations.
Born in Austria but raised in Canada, Yablonovitch taught at Harvard and UCLA before coming to UC Berkeley in 2007. He has also worked for Bell Telephone Laboratories and Exxon, where he conducted solar cell research before the oil giant lost interest in solar energy. Despite founding four companies of his own, Yablonovitch is a proponent of universities enabling students "to pursue science for its own sake.
"I don't think I would have been anywhere near as successful if I wasn't given the opportunity to develop myself even after my Ph.D.," Yablonovitch said when accepting his award in Israel.
Winning the Harvey Prize is considered by some to be a strong predictor of future Nobel Prize laureates, but Yablonovitch isn't convinced, instead preferring to focus on the research ahead.

New York
Ithica Flower Shop Nikki Midolo Outdoor Ceremony Outdoor Wedding Wedding Photography Wood
Alfred Angelo Impression Bridal Kay Jewelers Perry Winkles Fine Jewelry
I'm not sure whats been going on with your weather, but we've had a pretty mild winter in my parts. So mild that weddings like this gorgeous New York affair have me watching out the window for Spring's arrival, and the freshness that I can only hope is anything like this sweet soiree. Leo Timoshuk was the man behind the camera and he was able to capture a beautiful wedding for a very deserving couple. And we love him a little (okay a lot) for sharing it with us. Sharing ALL of it with us. Happy Leap Year LBBers!
It was an instant connection and feeling that I only saw portrayed in movies. Whenever we were together, I felt like our relationship was a chick-flick that had come to life. My heart felt as if it smiled every time I saw or talked to him, and his kisses would make me feel dizzy. Although I had moved to Florida from Central New York, 1,358 miles couldn't keep Jeff and me apart. We spent months traveling back and forth to be with each other (and hundreds of dollars!), until I made the commitment to relocate back home to live with him and to begin our life together. Less than a year later, we were engaged and planning the wedding of our dreams!
A few months before our wedding, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and an auto-immune disease. Two surgeries and a radiation treatment later, my body was left feeling weak and sick,but my heart still felt strong and appreciative for the man that was with me throughout all of this, keeping me positive the whole time. At one point we had considered eloping and canceling the traditional wedding, but we knew we would regret that decision. I am very happy to say that on a perfect Saturday afternoon in August, surrounded by loving friends and family, we became Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Chitambar in a ceremony that combined our love of the outdoors with the beauty and simplicity of the country.
Thousands of miles, and a life threatening disease couldn't keep us apart. The love that we share for one another gets stronger every day and the happiness radiates through our facial expressions. These photographs captured every detail from our dream wedding day, and on a day that is over before you know it, this is priceless. We will always have those to cherish, and to help remind us of the love that overcame the wedding that almost wasn't.

Among four year-olds attending Head Start programs in New York City, those who had older siblings were more likely to experience respiratory symptoms including an episode of wheezing in the past year than those who were oldest or only children. Children with at least two older siblings were also 50% more likely than other children to have gone to an emergency department or been hospitalized overnight for breathing problems.
"Our findings support the hypothesis that having older siblings increases a child's risk of exposure to infectious agents before age two years, and in turn increases the child's risk for wheezing," said Matthew Perzanowski, PhD, assistant professor of Environmental Health Sciences at the Mailman School of Public Health and the lead author of the paper. "Some studies have found that having older siblings increases the risk of wheeze in babies and toddlers. Our findings are novel in that we found that among the four year-olds in this study, the pattern was the same as has been observed in younger children elsewhere."
The children in the study were selected for participation because they attended Head Start programs in neighborhoods with the highest rates of childhood asthma hospitalization in New York City.
One possible explanation for the association is that children with older siblings have more exposure to respiratory infections at an early age than oldest or only children. Respiratory infections are a common cause of wheezing in very young children. This study shows that children with older siblings may be appropriate targets for interventions to reduce the risk of infections that may lead to hospitalization.
"Previous findings of the opposite association between asthma and birth order among older children and adults have served as the basis for what is called the hygiene hypothesis, the idea that exposure to infectious agents at a very young age reduces the risk of asthma in the long term. Only by continuing to follow these children can we determine whether and how birth order predicts diagnosed asthma and asthma that persists throughout childhood," noted Inge Goldstein, DrPH, a senior lecturer in the Mailman School's Department of Epidemiology and senior author of the study.
"But even if the patterns of association change as the children grow, we have learned from this study that four year-olds with older siblings are more likely than other four year-olds to experience respiratory symptoms that burden them and their families and impose the costs of care on them and the community," commented Judith Jacobson, DrPH, associate professor of clinical Epidemiology at the Mailman School and principal investigator of the study, which was funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.
In this study, the prevalence of recent wheeze was higher among boys than girls (32% vs 21%) and higher among children with an asthmatic parent than other children (53% vs 22%). Having younger siblings, unlike having older siblings, was not associated with respiratory symptoms. The associations of birth order with respiratory symptoms were statistically significant only among those children who were not atopic (allergic) and among those without an asthmatic parent.
These findings from the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health were recently pre-published online in the journal Clinical and Experimental Allergy.

New Delhi: Feb 10, 2014
With the Supreme Court-instituted Mudgal committee indicting Gurunath Meiyappan in the Indian Premier League (IPL) spot-fixing scandal, sacked commissioner Lalit Modi demanded a life ban on Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President N Srinivasan on Monday.
"Now it's time for cricket establishment to wake up and bury the entire India Cement team that has taken over global cricket," Modi tweeted.
Meiyappan, formerly Team Principal of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), was indicted for betting by a three-member commitee headed by former Punjab and Haryana Chief Justice Mukul Mudgal, which was appointed by the Supreme Court to investigate the IPL spot-fixing scandal.
Srinivasan had defended Meiyappan, calling him merely a "cricket enthusiast".
"Glad to see that Justice Mudgal report confirms just what I had been saying. Life ban on all connected is a must.
So I guess Srini's two-day victory as future warlord of cricket was short lived," Modi tweeted.
"Waiting to get copy of report before commenting. But if CSK owners are caught betting and fixing, team needs to be annulled as per rules," he added.
His lawyer Mehmud Abdi echoed his client's sentiment.
"For CSK team to underperform, it would have required direct involvement of CSK boss N Srinivasan as most of the players are employees of India Cements and are under direct influence and control of Srinivasan who can also make or break their career in BCCI itself," said Mehmud.

Blue Line Pizza?yay or nay?
Uploaded: Sep 14, 2013Blue Line is a train that runs 19.5 miles between O'Hare Airport and downtown Chicago. It is also the name of a great deep-dish pizza place on Castro Street in Mountain View. This is the third location of Blue Line Pizza, which was founded by a cofounder of Little Star, the notable gourmet pizza restaurant in San Francisco.
I've been to Blue Line twice now. Both times, it was for lunch and both times, the interior seating area was surprisingly empty, though there were many groups eating outside on the patio. There are two televisions at the back of the restaurant by the bar area. One long wall is decorated with a mural, the other with geometric wooden sculptures.
The star of the menu is undoubtedly the house special?Blue Line, a deep dish pizza with a crispy cornmeal crust and a filling of blended spinach, ricotta, mushrooms, onions and garlic, topped with intensely flavorful chopped tomatoes. The proportions were perfect. Neither I nor my husband (a Chicagoan) have had deep dish pizza in California we enjoyed more. Our friend noted his preference for Patxi's in Palo Alto.
Unlike nearby Patxi's, Blue Line's pizza isn't as heavy as you might expect from Chicago deep dish style pizza?we didn't walk away from either lunch feeling like lead had settled to the bottom of our stomachs. Where Patxi's has a decadent amount of cheese and a soft squishy bottom crust, Blue Line has a deeper tomato flavor, less cheese and a light crust. The flavors and textures are in great proportion.
If a healthy deep dish pizza exists, it would be either the Blue Line or the Vegetarian deep dish pizza, which we tried on our next visit. The latter is topped with roasted zucchini, onions, red bell peppers, kalamata olives, and mushrooms. Unlike most pizza places where a vegetarian pizza has a single layer of limp veggies, there's real care taken with the Vegetarian deep dish. The pizza appears to be stuffed with fresh vegetables and the end result is delicious.
We also tried the thin crust Greek pizza, notable for its whole roasted garlic cloves, but also topped with spinach, feta, sundried tomatoes and kalamata olives. I couldn't really taste the feta, but like the deep dish, it had excellent proportions, nonetheless. The mixed salad was very flavorful. It was just a touch over-dressed, but otherwise a perfectly put together blend of mixed greens, red bell peppers, red onions, cherry tomatoes, gorgonzola cheese, walnuts.
I'm sad to say that the only dish that was not five-star was the large apple caramel bread pudding. The bread pudding itself was passable?soft chunks of bread and apple that fell away from each other at the touch of a fork?but the vanilla gelato was sticky and hard with freezer burn. Don't let this minor issue with the dessert deter you. The pizza is some of the best I've had in Silicon Valley and deserves greater popularity.

Ami Dang
Official Link: http://www.amidang.com
Amrita "Ami" Kaur Dang is a vocalist, sitarist, and composer/producer from Baltimore, MD and New Delhi, India. Her sound ranges from North Indian classical fused with noise/ambient electronics to experimental dancepop that comes together to create a new genre she calls "Bollywave."
Dang began studying music at a young age and picked up the sitar when she was twelve years old. After years of North Indian classical music training, she studied Technology in Music and Related Arts at Oberlin College Conservatory of Music. Her current sound references her musical education as well as the grit of the urban landscapes of both Baltimore and New Delhi. Released in February 2011, her debut album "Hukam" was heralded as
#7 among top albums of 2011 by Chapel Hill's WXYC 89.3 FM and one of the best 30 albums of 2011 by Small World Music.
Upon the completion of her debut album, Dang's live set expanded to include drummer and producer K8 Levitt. A Brooklyn, NY native, Levitt began frequenting DIY shows as a young adolescent and, inspired by the movement, took up the drums at age 13. In the recent past, Levitt has performed with the Dan Deacon Ensemble, playing shows such as Bonoroo and Lollapalooza, and was a founding member of the band Teeth Mountain. She is also a current member of the Baltimore-based arts collective Wham City, and continues to be inspired by the interplay between sound and visuals.
Since 2009, Dang has been working with Schwarz, one of Baltimore's most prolific DJs and producers. Schwarz has been writing songs and making tapes since kindergarten and is one-third of the DJ crew that throws the dance party Deep in the Game, lauded by Baltimore's City Paper as "Best Dance Night" in 2011. He has also produced tracks for Rye Rye, Juiceboxx, Lil Ugly Mane, Sewn Leather, Wish, DDM, DJ Dog Dick, Kevin Jz Prodigy, BBU, and Issue.
Currently, the trio is working on their next full-length album "Sun on Our Skins," to be released in the fall of 2012.

(CANOGA PARK, CA) -- Free Speech Coalition (FSC) is proud to announce Girlfriends Films as the recipient of its 2010 FSC Leadership Award. The award will be presented at the XBIZ Awards, to be held on Feb 10, at the Avalon Hollywood, 1735 Vine St. In Hollywood, CA. ''Weve won awards for movies but nothing can be more satisfying than this one,'' Girlfriends Films President Dan OConnell said. ''Theres no higher honor than being so prominently recognized as being the leader in the kind of exemplary work and innovation that the award stands for. This is a big industry and to be the company that receives this years award is just the best. I couldnt be happier or more proud!'' The FSC Leadership Award goes to an adult company that exemplifies excellence and innovation in business practices. Girlfriend Films, which was founded in 2002, has a long history of fair businesses practices and philanthropy. ''Weve made every effort to be a good neighbor to our business partners, models and fans,'' OConnell said. ''As a company, Girlfriends Films has always made an effort to put a positive foot forward when it comes to our marketing, products, customer service and business dealings. In short, weve made a continuous effort to treat everyone with appreciation, consideration and respect.'' Girlfriends Films instituted its own anti-piracy efforts in response to distributors concerns over declining sales, and in the past nine months has taken down more than twenty thousand URLs infringing on the companys content. The company also has earmarked a portion of annual revenues to donate to various charities, as well as hosted fundraising events for several charities. ''Over the last several years, Girlfriends Films has not only created movies that are popular with consumers, but have incorporated better practices and ethics in the way that they do business,'' FSC Membership Director Joanne Cachapero said. ''They have hosted many fundraisers for various charities and continue to be great role model for the adult community.'' Aside from a strong anti-piracy stance, OConnell and the company also are staunch supporters of Free Speech and protecting the rights of adults that enjoy adult entertainment. ''Though the adult industrys mission is to make people happy and satisfy their private desires, there are always other people and groups who want to deny anyones access to our products, even though they are most often used in privacy.

Writer's block? Read!
Clair shares a tip for writing even when you don't feel like it:
Writing for a living has trained me to write anything – no matter what. But of course. it is tougher. Writing three blog entries a day and editing other people's entries (grammar, etc) could be quite painful too.
How do I get to write and finish up what I have to?
I read. :D
Yeah, simple answer for me. I read and talk about things that got me interested. If not about the article itself but maybe the circumstances around it, the person who wrote it, how I could relate, etc.
On my personal blogs, I don't write when I don't feel like sharing the very deep thoughts that are in my head. But when I find something I feel totally interested in or I need a break, I write :) It's therapy, in a sense. Even though this is what I do for a living ;)
On Technorati: writing

Deb and Sheila Dormody , Cultural Affairs Manager for the Providence Department of Art, Culture and Tourism (Deb) and Director of Sustainability for the City of Providence (Sheila) — and sisters, of course
Here we are in 2048 and Providence is further on its way to a city balanced in sustainability, creative and economic vitality, and citizen health. Maybe you're envisioning a non-sexist version of The Jetsons, but dogs don't know how to talk yet so that's just crazy.
Providence residents will tell you that the city's rise as an international leader and its transformation to a green mecca came by creating jobs in energy efficiency, green infrastructure, and recycling. Here are Sheila's favorite parts of Future Providence:
• All parts of the city are connected by public transit routes. The frequent service by the solar-powered, zero-emission vehicles adds an ambiance that makes commuting a genuine pleasure.
• The network of protected bike lanes makes bike riding revelatory. Bike and pedestrian bridges help navigate particularly difficult intersections with highways.
• The Narragansett Bay ferry helped Rhode Islanders to overcome reluctance to cross a bridge without packing a lunch. With regular service and various route options, it has significantly reduced highway traffic and made people 89 percent happier.
• With the rise of urban agriculture and green infrastructure investments, residents can now eat their way through the city with berry bushes, vegetable gardens, and fruit trees planted along sidewalks and road medians. Trees and green roofs keep the city cooler in the summer while preventing flooding and polluted run off.
• Providence buildings actually serve as the power that runs the city. After creating a citywide jobs program to make all buildings energy efficient, buildings were updated with solar, geothermal, and wind power generators. Wicked cool!
• With mandatory composting operations in every community, the local agriculture has plenty of rich soil. Bonus: eco-toilets give residents an unlimited outlet for previously waning potty humor.
• Recycling businesses are booming now that the state makes product manufacturers pay for the collection and recycling of their products. Most manufacturers make their products more durable, less toxic, and recyclable in order to avoid having to take things back.
• The history museum at the former Central Landfill stands as a memorial to the long gone practice of pretending that you could throw things "away." The perpetual flame sculpture fueled by the methane from the last remaining trash pile serves as a poignant reminder to continue our sustainable practices.
Creative people in Providence make artwork and situations that help us understand our sense of place and our culture. The atmosphere of encouragement hasn't diminished over time — nor has the innovative spirit. Here is what makes Deb excited about living in Future Providence:
• Artists, musicians, performers, and creative entrepreneurs flock here for the affordable spaces for working, living, and presenting. Individual artists are able to engage audiences and buyers through a diverse mix of venues that range from the scrappy to prestigious. Galleries are thriving. Art critics have jobs.
• Local gallery owners opened a visionary museum of contemporary art on Providence's waterfront, adjacent to the now public gateway marina near India Point Park. The area serves as a tremendous destination and marks Providence as a leader in creative public spaces.
• The temporary public art program that took off a couple decades ago has flourished into a renowned festival. Expanded artist residency programs offer a cultural exchange that also helps keep Providence fresh.
• Neighborhoods are flourishing with access to reasonably-priced housing, public transit, jobs, independent shops and restaurants, and thriving arts opportunities. People are loaning each other cups of sugar all the time.
• Residents connect in bustling libraries, cultural centers, and parks with homegrown activities that reinforce the many cultures in the city.
• In the heart of Providence, a downtown public market building with rooftop green space adds a vibrant draw to the city's center. A massive colorful water slide park twists its way around downtown's buildings, landing sliders into a pool at the foot of the federal building.
• A string of connected parks along the river — from Olneyville to the bay — offer community gardens, festivals, beer gardens, amphitheaters and boat-side movie watching.
• Advocates and elected officials cultivated sustained public and private funding sources for non-profit arts and cultural organizations, allowing them to focus on artistic excellence.
Our youth — the next generation of creative makers and leaders — has significant access to visual and performing arts both in and out of school.
Also, the Providence Phoenix has tripled in circulation, and readers find that the sexy-time insert continues to fall out at inopportune times.

Do you want to make Ohio.com your homepage?
XI used my theoretical day off to squeeze in the one best-picture nominee I had not seen. Thoughts after the jump (including some spoilers if you have not seen it).
Overview: Seven Oscar nominations. Best picture, art direction, cinematography, costume design, adapted screenplay, original music score and best supporting actress (Saoirse Ronan). ...
"Atonement" reeks of what Oscar so often likes -- the grand scale, the literate dialogue (and literary background), the British accents. It is all supposed to feel meaningful and serious, especially as a contemplation of the power of words. If at times it seems more than a little dull, then we are supposed to believe that's our fault for being such oafs.
But it is too calculating a piece for my taste, a movie that seeks redemption through its final scenes, a trick ending.
I don't have a problem with trick endings (I love "The Usual Suspects." for one, and liked the trick in "The Sixth Sense."). But the trick in "Atonement" came painfully late in the process. If the bulk of the movie is indeed Briony's last novel, then it is not a good one, with its disjointed narration and wooden dialogue. (The concocted post-Dunkirk scene with Briony, Cecelia and Robbie felt unwieldy and false even before the novel's revelation.) Even if the revelation is supposed to explain away the flaws preceding it, the flaws are still tough to sit through.
The movie is, in short, a hash. Scenes leading up to Robbie's arrest are from one film. The overlong wartime sequences belong in a different one (and the change from the arrest to wartime is abrupt.) Then, of course, there is the tragic real-life tale buried by the novel's attempt at happiness.
But instead of continuing to complain, let me turn to the Oscar-worthiness of the piece. With three grand contenders for best picture ("Juno," "No Country for Old Men," "There Will Be Blood"), "Atonement" is an also-ran. As I said, it has a lot of things that Oscar voters like. But where I could stand it if any of the big three won, a win by "Atonement" or "Michael Clayton" would be a big Oscar misstep.
Supporting actress: Ronan as the young Briony was impressive. But not as much as Amy Ryan and Cate Blanchett. (And, when we're considering young up and comers, I would give Dakota Blue Richards of "The Golden Compass" a nod over Ronan. Only Richards was in an even worse movie, and would have had to contend in the best-actress category to boot. But, as usual, I digress.)
Adapted screeplay: I have been bad about reading source material, not that that matters a lot. After all, I have skimmed "Oil," the Upton Sinclair novel that inspired "There Will Be Blood," and the connection between book and film is minimal. (And the movie is better than the book.) So I will just say that "Blood" and "No Country" -- and "Away From Her," for that matter -- are better movies than "Atonement."
Art direction: To the extent that I understand such things, I'd go first to "There Will Be Blood" or "Sweeney Todd." Cinematography: I prefer "There Will Be Blood," "No Country for Old Men" and "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford." Costume design: If you want to give "Atonement" something, I suppose this is as good a place as any. Music score, ditto.
In other words, I'm not going to be worrying much about those categories on Oscar night.

By Bifford Caulfield — Santorum spoke over the President's Day weekend that the reason democrats (primarily that monster, Obama) want pre-natal care for women is because it's just their big ruse to have doctor's declare babies health-compromised in some way such that they can use fear tactics to scare women into having abortions for their troubled fetuses — all because the cheap democrats just don't want to spend money on healthcare for the poor little persons once they are born. Democrats want to abort these babies so they won't have to spend money on healthcare for them. Yo, Rick. Got some news for you brother: Republicans are the ones who are all about denying pregnant women and new mothers and their babies healthcare. And poor people — and blacks– and Latinos — and unemployed — and disabled people, etc. ect.
Point of information, Ricky: Democrats are all for spending as much money as it takes to provide families healthcare, even if it means — gasp! — taxing the millionaires and billionaires a few pennies more. Get real, oh disingenuous one!
And now, Franklin Graham, son of evangelist Billy Graham, has stated that Obama must not be a Christian even though he says he is, because islamists consider him a muslim because he had a muslim father — and that makes him one. Islamists believe this, he says, so it must be — or at least could very possibly — be true.
My theory is that when the Rapture did not come in May, 2011, like scheduled. These right wing republican evangelist fanatics have come down with a deep, maniacal depression and have spiraled into "Lack-of-Rapture" cabin fever because the great escape from this prison planet on earth they have helped create for everyone has been denied them. It is just too boring and too limited here o earth to tolerate — and it has driven them stark raving crazy! No other explanation! They certainly are crazy. The real question is why are we even listening to these lunatics and why are we putting them on TV?

West Ham supporters demonstrate the correct way to behave abroad
Fans incapacitated with silly string, according to picture below
In preparation for Thursday's match against the MLS all-stars, West Ham somehow found themselves in Columbus, Ohio for a friendly against The Crew. Things were going well yesterday, until shortly after half time, when Hammers fans decided to unfurl a banner reading "ICF [Inner City Firm], 30 Years Undefeated." Then it all done gone kicked off man:
A halftime brawl between more than 100 fans marred an exhibition match Sunday between West Ham United of the English Premier League club and the MLS' Columbus Crew.
The fights, which overshadowed West Ham United's 3-1 win, began when a handful of West Ham supporters, some wearing the team's claret and blue colors, entered the northeast corner of the stadium where the Crew's most boisterous supporters typically gather.
Crew supporters began directing chants toward the rival fans, and fights quickly broke out between more than 100 Crew fans and at least 30 West Ham fans. Columbus police officers and Crew Stadium security staff eventually separated the groups.
At first glance, it looks as if East London's finest have been mixin' it up with their fists in the Midwest without just cause. However it seems that most Americans' impression of the club has been gained from Green Street, and they were hellbent on goading them for it. A Big Soccer blogger writes:
"HSH (Harley Street Hooligans) wanted a fight. They had a banner saying "where's Elijah Wood?" They chanted ******** West Ham and they threw stuff at West Ham's players." I don't see how this wasn't expected?"
Another blogger, who possibly wishes to be in the Village People, adds:
The many West Ham fans that came to Columbus, cheered loudly and supported your team to a great win over our Crew: well done. You represented your club loudly and proudly. Thanks for coming and we would love to have you back anytime.
To the hooligan-wannabe douchebags that came to Columbus only to cause trouble with our supporters: I hope you're enjoying your jail cell right now. And before someone retorts with the "That's just the way we support our team over here in England," I was told by stadium security that every one of the people arrested this evening at the stadium is an American."
So which set of fans is really to blame for all this mess? Why do you never see baby pigeons? If a gay couple are getting married, do they go to the same stag do? So many questions, so little time…

In this article, I introduce a very fast algorithm to extract text patterns from large size text and give statistical information about patterns' frequency and length. Actually, the idea of this algorithm came to me when one of my friends asked me to give him an idea for extracting patterns from text. I told him immediately that he could use the LZW compression algorithm, take the final dictionary and drop the compressed buffer, and then he could have a dictionary containing all text patterns with each pattern frequency. I don't know if he understood me or not, but I decided to do it later. If pattern word count is fixed (N), then it is a generation for N-gram of the input sequence.
An n-gram is a sub-sequence of n items from a given sequence. n-grams are used in various areas of statistical natural language processing and genetic sequence analysis. The items in question can be characters, words or base pairs according to the application. For example, the sequence of characters "Hatem mostafa helmy" has a 3-gram of ("Hat", "ate", "tem", "em ", "m m", ...), and has a 2-gram of ("Ha", "at", "te", "em", "m ", " m", ...). This n-gram output can be used for a variety of R&D subjects, such as Statistical machine translation and Spell checking.
Pattern extraction is the process of parsing a sequence of items to find or extract a certain pattern of items. Pattern length can be fixed, as in the n-gram model, or it can be variable. Variable length patterns can be directives to certain rules, like regular expressions. They can also be random and depend on the context and pattern repetition in the patterns dictionary.
The algorithm introduced here is derived from the LZW compression algorithm, which includes a magic idea about generating dictionary items at compression time while parsing the input sequence. If you have no idea about LZW, you can check it out at my article, Fast LZW compression. And of course, the algorithm inherits the speed of my implementation to LZW, plus extra speed for two reasons:
The algorithm uses a binary tree to keep extracted patterns that give the algorithm excellent speed at run-time to find and fetch new items to the dictionary. Let us discuss the algorithm pseudo code. We have some figures to clarify the idea with an algorithm flow chart and a simple example.
Example: the input words sequence w0w1w2w3w4w0w1w5w6w7w2w3w4w0w1w5w6
Assume n equals 2; then the initial pattern will be w0w1. After applying the algorithm steps, the resultant dictionary would be as in the fourth column:
ConstructPatterns(src, delimiters, n, fixed) { des = AllocateBuffer() Copy(des, src) DiscardDelimiters(des, delimiters) dic = InitializePatternsDictionary() pattern = InitializeNewPattern(des) While(des) { node = dic.Insert(pattern) if(!fixed AND node.IsRepeated) AddWordToPattern(des, pattern) else pattern = InitializeNewPattern(des) UpdateBuffer(des) } }
This function receives the input buffer, copies it to a destination buffer, and parses it to add found patterns to the dictionary. The constructed dictionary is a binary tree template CBinaryTree<CPattern, CPattern*, int, int> m_alpDic with a key of type CPattern.
CBinaryTree<CPattern, CPattern*, int, int> m_alpDic
void CPatternAlaysis::ConstructPatterns(BYTE *pSrc, int nSrcLen, LPCSTR lpcsDelimiters /*= NULL*/, int nMinPatternWords /*= 2*/, bool bFixedNGram /*= false*/) { // discard initial spaces ... // allocate destination buffer ... // discard delimiters ... // discard repeated spaces ... // initialize dictionary m_alpDic.RemoveAll(); // tree node to keep last success search to start with CBinaryTreeNode<CPattern, int>* pNode = m_alpDic.Root; // left m_alpDic Samples points to the source buffer int nPrevLength; CPattern node(m_pDes, GetPatternLength( m_pDes, nPrevLength, nMinPatternWords)); // scan the input buffer while(node.m_pBuffer < m_pDes+nDesLen) { pNode = m_alpDic.Insert(&node, -1, pNode); pNode->Key.m_nFrequency = pNode->Count; if(bFixedNGram == false && pNode->Count > 1) // (repeated pattern), increment node length // by a new word length node.m_nLength += AddWordToPattern(node.m_pBuffer+node.m_nLength); else { // initialize node to next entity node.m_pBuffer += nPrevLength; node.m_nLength = GetPatternLength(node.m_pBuffer, nPrevLength, nMinPatternWords); // initialize binary tree search root pNode = m_alpDic.Root; } } }
Note: The first good point in this function is that it allocates one buffer for the dictionary and all dictionary nodes point to their start buffer, keeping their buffer length in the class CPattern. So, no allocation or reallocation is done during the algorithm.
class CPattern { public: CPattern() {} CPattern(BYTE* pBuffer, int nLength) { m_pBuffer = pBuffer, m_nLength = nLength; } CPattern(const CPattern& buffer) { *this = buffer; } public: BYTE* m_pBuffer; int m_nLength; int m_nFrequency; inline int compare(const CPattern* buffer); { ... } inline void operator=(const CPattern* buffer) { m_pBuffer = buffer->m_pBuffer; m_nLength = buffer->m_nLength; } };
The function does the steps of the pseudo code. The second good point is the usage of a binary tree CBinaryTree to keep the dictionary, with a very good trick here:
The function Insert() of the tree takes a third parameter to start the search from. In normal cases, this parameter should be the tree Root. However, if a pattern is found and a new word is added to it, then we can start the search for the pattern from the current node, as it must be under current node. This is because it is only the previous pattern plus a new word.
In the case of a new pattern, we should start the search from the tree root, so we have this line at the bottom of the function:
// initialize binary tree search root pNode = m_alpDic.Root;
This function doesn't construct patterns. It just retrieves the constructed patterns with three types of sort: Alphabetical, Frequency and Pattern length. The returned patterns are stored in a vector of patterns (OUT vector<CPattern*>& vPatterns).
OUT vector<CPattern*>& vPatterns
CBinaryTreeNode<CPattern, int>* pAlpNode = m_alpDic.Min(m_alpDic.Root); while(pAlpNode) { if(pAlpNode->Count > 1 || !bIgnoreUniquePatterns) // ignore unique pattern vPatterns.push_back(&pAlpNode->Key); pAlpNode = m_alpDic.Successor(pAlpNode); }
// construct a new dictionary to sort stored patterns // depending on frequency CBinaryTree<CValue<int>, int, vector<CPattern*>, vector<CPattern*>* > displayDic; CBinaryTreeNode<CPattern, int>* pAlpNode = m_alpDic.Min(m_alpDic.Root); while(pAlpNode != NULL) { if(pAlpNode->Count > 1 || !bIgnoreUniquePatterns) // ignore unique pattern displayDic.Insert(pAlpNode->Count/*frequency*/)-> Data.push_back(&pAlpNode->Key); pAlpNode = m_alpDic.Successor(pAlpNode); } // iterate through the binary tree to get sorted pattern // (depend on frequency) CBinaryTreeNode<CValue<int>, vector<CPattern*>* pNode = displayDic.Max(displayDic.Root); while(pNode) { for(vector<CPattern*>::iterator i = pNode->Data.begin(), end = pNode->Data.end(); i != end; i++) vPatterns.push_back(*i); pNode = displayDic.Predecessor(pNode); }
// construct a new dictionary to sort stored patterns // depending on Pattern length CBinaryTree<CValue<int>, int, vector<CPattern*>, vector<CPattern*>* > displayDic; CBinaryTreeNode<CPattern, int>* pAlpNode = m_alpDic.Min(m_alpDic.Root); while(pAlpNode != NULL) { if(pAlpNode->Count > 1 || !bIgnoreUniquePatterns) // ignore unique pattern displayDic.Insert(pAlpNode->Key.m_nLength/*length*/)-> Data.push_back(&pAlpNode->Key); pAlpNode = m_alpDic.Successor(pAlpNode); } // iterate through the binary tree to get sorted pattern // (depend on Pattern length) CBinaryTreeNode<CValue<int>, vector<CPattern*>* pNode = displayDic.Max(displayDic.Root); while(pNode) { for(vector<CPattern*>::iterator i = pNode->Data.begin(), end = pNode->Data.end(); i != end; i++) vPatterns.push_back(*i); pNode = displayDic.Predecessor(pNode); }
This function retrieves the stored patterns count.
int CPatternAlaysis::GetPatternCount() { return m_alpDic.Count; }
The algorithm doesn't give accuracy about pattern frequency in the case of variable length patterns (not n-gram with fixed n). That is because the algorithm constructs patterns while parsing the sequence and checks each constructed pattern with the dynamic dictionary. So, if any pattern is first added to the dictionary, a new pattern is constructed starting from the second word of the previous pattern with length n (min pattern length).
Cross-Document Co-reference is the process of finding a relation between documents. In other words, we can say that two documents are related if the two documents contain similar patterns. This subject is studied in many articles, but I found that the best one is "A Methodology for Cross-Document Coreference" by Amit Bagga and Alan W.Biermann. My algorithm may be helpful to generate patterns that can be taken to find a relation between patterns. The good point here is the very good speed of the algorithm, so it can be used for large numbers of documents like the web. However, directed patterns are better than random patterns to find documents' co-reference.
This is an algorithm introduced by Sergey Brin to collect related information from scattered web sources. I like this idea very much and invite all of you to read his article and search the web for its implementation or even its flowchart. My algorithm can't be used here, as it collects patterns without any guided information about retrieved patterns. However, the FIPRE algorithm is a semi-directed algorithm, as it guides the initial pattern search with regular expressions to identify the required pattern, like "book title" and "author name." Alternatively, if the algorithm collects mails, it will include all regular expressions for mails like that:
[^ \:\=@;,,$$**++\t\r\n""'<>/\\%??()&]+@[Hh]otmail.com [^ \:\=@;,,$$**++\t\r\n""'<>/\\%??()&]+@[Yy]ahoo.com [^ \:\=@;,,$$**++\t\r\n""'<>/\\%??()&]+@(AOL|aol|Aol).com
