While this is an incredibly intricate fighting system and a great feeling game, the little touches to make it a UFC experience just aren't there. It tries, with logos and commentary (and even a Pride mode, which follows the rules of the now-defunct Pride fighting promotion), but it always feels like it's keeping you at arm's length. This is exacerbated by a career mode in which your created fighter's advancement is purposely hamstrung, gaining stats more slowly than a comparable roster fighter. (There is a roster career mode, which is a neat addition to be sure). It feels like it's trying to preserve the legend of these other fighters over your enjoyment of the game, preventing you from becoming their equal. To that end, career mode also has crazy difficulty spikes, as you go from no-name fighters you can pound into the dirt with your eyes closed to UFC professionals, tearing you down by virtue of their superior stats alone.
Beyond that, the commentary is often repetitive—though effective at telling you what you're doing well—and extremely general, even in matches between big-name fighters. The visuals still look pretty plastic-like, especially on the Pride-era renditions of fighters. The game does have an expansive roster, but its Pride-specific selection is fairly limited.
UFC Undisputed 3 is a very good MMA game. The fighting engine has been polished to a sheen, and those who want to play the title at a competitive level will find that it is designed in such a way that they can develop their own fighting style fairly easily. Those who are just fans of the UFC, though, and want a game that captures that experience, will find that the game is lacking in the accoutrements that would make it a great hobbyist work as well as an intricate and involved fighting game.

In this regard, the vulnerability impacts Internet Explorer 5.01, Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 but also Firefox 126.96.36.199.

Last week, as prosecutors and defense counsel questioned Dr. Nobby Mambo � the deputy chief medical examiner for Galveston County, Texas � testimony revealed what Mambo�s autopsy of Ackerson stated, which was she was murdered by an unknown method.
RALEIGH � There were questions in search of an answer that doesn�t exist � at least, not on official records.
Only Grant Hayes and his wife Amanda, both charged with the murder of former Kinston resident Laura Ackerson, know exactly how Ackerson died. They both say they collaborated to dispose of her body, but say the other person killed her in July 2011.
Last week, as prosecutors and defense counsel questioned Dr. Nobby Mambo � the deputy chief medical examiner for Galveston County, Texas � testimony revealed what Mambo�s autopsy of Ackerson stated, which was she was murdered by an unknown method.
Before Mambo took the stand, Wake County Superior Court Judge Donald Stephens looked over autopsy photos prosecutors intended to show the jury. Because of their graphic nature, he ruled the images would have to be presented �the old-fashioned way� � displaying the printed photos with Mambo pointing to relevant details.
Also, though Stephens said �the probative value of all of them outweigh the prejudicial effect (on the jury),� he limited prosecutors to only showing 12 images to jurors, eliminating redundancy of showing the same body parts twice, and to lower the general shock value.
Mambo said he was given the recovered body parts in a black plastic bag, and his first examination was of the first parts recovered � the upper and lower portions of Ackerson�s torso and the lower part of one of her legs.
�It was moderately decomposed,� Mambo said. �The skin could still be seen, as well as muscle.�
Initially, he thought the leg portion belonged to Ackerson�s left leg. The top cut was below the knee and there were no visible amputation effects where it connected to her foot. Mambo said crabs and fish likely ate the tendons and connective tissue. Further investigation showed it was the lower right leg.
When detectives found and retrieved Ackerson�s head, Mambo said it was in a state of significant decomposition. Her skin hung loosely from her skull, he said, and her brain was in the process of liquefying and leaking out her nose, mouth and ears.
However, he said he found a place on Ackerson�s scalp where blood collected under the skin, indicative of a possible injury, though there wasn�t evidence inside her skull to further bear that out, and there weren�t any skull fractures. Mambo said the incident had to have occurred while the body was still intact, but could have been before or after she died.
Asked about a possible choking, Mambo testified a conclusive answer wasn�t possible because muscles that would have shown damage were no longer there.
Responding to a question from defense attorney Jeff Cutler, Mambo said he and others X-rayed Ackerson�s remains to find possible bullet slugs, other metal objects or fracturing, but found nothing.
Earlier in the day, Houston maxillofacial surgeon and forensic dentist Dr. Paul Stimson testified as to Ackerson�s dental records. He said damage to her teeth revealed signs consistent with exposure to muriatic acid. Testimony earlier in the week revealed surveillance video of Amanda Hayes disposing of muriatic acid bottles near her sister�s residence in Texas.
Testimony resumes Monday at 9:30 a.m. at the Wake County Justice Center. Stephens told the jury it�s his hope the trial wraps up and jurors reach a verdict before the week is out.

When the late Helen Adams opened Helen Adams Realty here in 1963, there weren't many female Realtors in the area, much less owners of their own firms.
DAYTONA BEACH — When the late Helen Adams opened Helen Adams Realty here in 1963, there weren't many female Realtors in the area, much less owners of their own firms.
Little could she or anyone else have guessed that her small real estate brokerage, which eventually changed its name to Adams, Cameron & Co. Realtors, would grow to become the largest in the Volusia-Flagler area, with more than 200 agents and six sales offices.
Adams, Cameron recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. It is run by Adams' son, Robert, the company's chief executive officer, and grandson John, the general manager. Another one of her grandsons, Ryan, Robert's youngest son, is a top producing agent with the company.
Helen Adams, who died in January at age 87, continued to regularly come to work until just a few days before her death.
Robert Adams, 70, said his mother was passionate about the real estate business, loved helping clients buy and sell homes, and had an indomitable will. "If she wanted something, she wasn't going to take no for an answer," he recalled, adding, "She was pretty fearless."
He said his parents, Helen and Jack, bought a small motel in what is now Daytona Beach Shores in the 1950s, shortly after moving to the area from Buffalo, N.Y., but wound up taking day jobs to help make ends meet.
"My mom started working in real estate, while dad became a real estate appraiser," Robert Adams recalled, adding that his father later got a job with Security First Federal Savings & Loan in Daytona Beach, eventually becoming head of the financial institution's real estate appraisal department.
After working as a Realtor with another brokerage, Helen Adams decided to start her own firm and recruited a few other agents to join her.
By the time Robert Adams joined the firm in 1971, the brokerage had grown to a half-dozen agents. Less than two years later, the firm opened a second office and added several more agents by acquiring another local real estate brokerage.
In 1978, the firm — which briefly went under the name Adams Family Realty — changed its name to Adams, Cameron when it merged with Cameron Real Estate to become the area's largest real estate brokerage, with four offices and 80 agents.
That same year, Robert Adams assumed the title of president, while his mother became chairman. Dave Cameron, the owner of Cameron Real Estate, became vice president. Cameron retired in 1980.
Adams, Cameron has continued to grow over the years, in part through additional acquisitions, including its purchase in 2006 of the real estate arm of Hayward Brown.
Adams, Cameron also launched an affiliated business called Adams, Cameron Title Services.
John Adams, 42, joined Adams, Cameron in 2004 to work for his father and grandmother after working for accounting giant Arthur Andersen and as chief operating officer of an online marketing company in Chicago.
Ryan, 38, who joined the family business 15 years ago as an agent, was personally taught the ropes by his grandmother. "I worked side by side with her," he recalled of his start in real estate.
Leila Gosney, executive officer of the Daytona Beach Area Association of Realtors from 1983 to 2001, said Helen Adams was "a dynamic, enthusiastic person," whose love for the business was "contagious."
"Her family caught that same attitude from her," Gosney said, noting that Helen Adams was extremely proud that her son and grandchildren also chose to get involved in the business.
Robert Adams' daughter Erin is a part-time agent with Adams, Cameron while his other daughter, Lauren, has been involved in the business in the past.
Gosney, who today works for the Bob Fritze School of Real Estate in Holly Hill, said an unsung hero in Adams, Cameron's success story was Helen's husband Jack, now 92.
Even though Jack Adams did not have an active role with the company, he was "the man behind the scenes," Gosney said. "He certainly was a good influence on (Helen Adams) and very supportive."

Man arrested over attack on John Constable artwork
LONDON (AP) — A fathers-rights group said Friday that one of its members attacked a John Constable painting in Britain's National Gallery.
London police said a 57-year-old man was arrested at the gallery Friday after reports of damage to "The Hay Wain."
Constable's 1821 rural scene — one of Britain's most famous artworks — was removed for treatment, but the gallery said no lasting damage had been done.
The group Fathers 4 Justice said the vandal was Paul Manning, a "desperate dad" who had stuck a picture of his son on the painting.
The attack came just after another man appeared in court, charged with spraying paint on a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in Westminster Abbey earlier this month
Tim Haries, also affiliated with Fathers 4 Justice, was bailed until September.
Fathers 4 Justice campaigns on behalf of fathers denied contact with their children. It emerged about a decade ago and made headlines with high-profile demonstrations, including having members dressed as superheroes scale Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey.
In 2004, members caused panic in the House of Commons chamber when they hurled purple powder at then-Prime Minister Tony Blair from the public gallery.
The original group splintered in 2006 following allegations that extremist members were plotting to kidnap Blair's young son Leo.
Earlier this month it said it was resuming "nonviolent direct action" because its attempts to lobby politicians for changes to the law had failed.

Recap: Filming of Malfoy Manor and More from Set of Deathly Hallows with BBC Radio One
Jul 15, 2009
DH Film
RECAP: Last week during the UK premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince we heard from actor Jason Isaacs and others that filming scenes for Malfoy Manor in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows would be taking place this week. Today, as noted below, UK BBC Radio One DJ Edith Bowman broadcast live from Leavesden Studios in London from the set of Deathly Hallows. We now have early video of her in Dumbledore's office available for download here in our galleries.
During her visit, she spoke with actor Daniel Radcliffe (Harry), and noted he was wearing prosthetic for the scene ("being tortured' he joked) in Malfoy Manor. While Emma Watson (Hermione) was unfortunately off due to illness, other very fun interviews took place with actor Tom Felton (Draco) and Rupert Grint (Ron). In perhaps the most comical of the day, actor Jason Isaac, resplendent in shades and his "Paris Hilton" Lucius Malfoy wig PHOTO HERE, drove the host around in his golf cart for the interview while on set. We also learned Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix) was also there filming those dramatic scenes, with DJ Edith Bowman noting they were hoping to stick around after their interview to do more with the cast; should more photos and videos surface online we will of course update.
You can also watch two video of interviews conducted earlier at the radio station
Dan Radcliffe, and Emma Watson.

Update: Disney Officially Dates 'The Avengers 2' Release
UPDATE 8/16/12: Disney has just made it official: The Avengers 2 will open on May 1, 2015.
The biggest news yesterday came in the form of Disney/Marvel officially announcing an exclusive deal with Joss Whedon through June 2015 for him to not only write and direct The Avengers 2, but also work on Marvel's planned live-action TV show, as well as the rest of their Phase 2 initiative. Obviously this is a great thing for everyone involved (including us) because the nerdy Whedon will dive in like a kid at a candy store, assisting Marvel in shaping the next few years of their cinematic slate so that it all mixes together in a way that makes sense and, perhaps most importantly, is fan friendly. What we didn't get yesterday, however, was a release date for The Avengers 2.
Or did we?
According to the press release, Whedon's exclusive deal with Marvel is through the end of June 2015, which means The Avengers 2 will be arriving in theaters before then. Considering the fact that Disney began this summer with The Avengers -- and it paid off tremendously for them -- it would make sense for The Avengers 2 to arrive in theaters on May 1, 2015, officially kicking off the summer moviegoing season. This release date then gives Whedon a full two months to continue doing press for the sequel as Marvel and Disney decide whether to bring him back for Phase 3, which, potentially, would be announced at San Diego Comic-Con that July.
Of course none of this is official yet, and with the 2015 summer release schedule pretty wide open, there's even a chance Disney will make this their big, splashy Memorial Day weekend movie. Either way expect The Avengers 2 to arrive in May 2015.

29 June 2010|
Written by Dave Pankew / Photography by John Jackson
Never mind the fact that the R35 GT-R can embarrass cars costing five times as much, Nissan has done the impossible by creating an everyday supercar. It's quiet, well mannered and has the DNA of legendary Nissan reliability. So, it came as no surprise to us here at PAS that female enthusiast Sherill Roberts of Tulsa, OK found the GT-R suited her every need, especially speed.
As the President and CEO of Altura Insurance company, Roberts required a comfortable car that seated four. Roberts searched for car with all of the luxuries like leather, navigation and air conditioning, where the GT-R scores top marks for. What the GT-R lacks in though is audio, even the optional premium system leaves much to be desired. With that, this middle-aged mom got to building a dream system and ramping up the looks and performance of the car in the process.
"I wanted a car that was unique and didn't look like everything else on the road," says Roberts. "I have always loved fast sports cars and the GT-R had a lot to offer for performance and looks. My son has Dodge Dakota truck that competes in sound quality competitions and we enjoy attending events together. Building our systems together and attending shows has been great since we share this common interest. We both take a lot of pride and joy in our custom vehicles."
Exterior wise, most people see a near stock GT-R and they would be correct. The wheels have been changed to Asanti AF154 chrome wheels with custom silver and liquid carbon accents wrapped in the factory Bridgestone tires. But crack the door or trunk and you will see where all of the effort has been focused.
The sound system was hand picked by Roberts right down to the cabling and battery to fulfill her dream of a fast audio showcase."When I decided to put the sound system in it, my main concern was to maintain the integrity of the engineering by not cutting into the car or the enclosed undercarriage and only utilizing space that was already there. I wanted it to look like it had come from the manufacturer as opposed to it looking aftermarket." Work began by using Factory leather to recover the enclosure that houses inverted subs in the stock locations and appears like it was done at Nissan.
Focal Audio components were used throughout to amount to a stunning sounding system during the first installation. But Roberts claims the install didn't have the "wow" factor, so after the USACi World finals in Dallas, TX she took the car to Car Toys in Tulsa, OK. Installer Chris Pate would take care of the project since he is an expert in the field and even holds an engineering degree. Pate's idea was to create a fiberglass tub that could be lifted in and out of the vehicle to go back to stock. The mission was to not mess up the integrity of the GT-R and also not make the flashy design look like a girl's car. For looks, they ended up with some tasteful neon blue lighting and airbrushed water droplet accents.
The trunk was then fitted with some serious Focal Audio gear to power the system past competitors. Stacked in the center of the trunk area is a Focal FP 1.800 subwoofer amp driving twin Focal 21WX Utopia BE 12-inch subs. The mid-bass is driven by a Focal FP 2.150 powering up a quartet of Focal 13WS Utopia BE 6.5-inch speakers. For the midrange and the highs, a Focal dual monitor amp was delegated to drive the Focal 6 WS Utopia BE speakers in the doors, the Focal Utopia BE tweeters and a Focal 3 WS Utopia BE as a center channel. The rear fill was selected to be a Focal Polyglass IbsVSlim and the whole setup is orchestrated by a JL Audio Cleansweep unit. Although, the factory CD, DVD and navigation system was used, the multimedia factor has been pumped up by a hardwired Playstation for movies and games. The entire system is lit up by a Kinetik HC1800 battery connected with JL Audio speaker wire and Hooker distribution blocks.
Sound, style, performance, there isn't much more this GT-R really needs. Well, other than a good thrashing at the track but for now Roberts says it's just to pretty to abuse. She spends her down time detailing it and just gawking at it in her garage.

Feds condemn anti-police fliers in Albuquerque
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Less than a week after the U.S. Justice Department blasted Albuquerque police for a pattern of excessive force, the federal agency is condemning threats of violence against officers in anti-police fliers that have surfaced in the city.
The Justice Department urged Albuquerque residents on Tuesday to "participate in the critical dialogue" after releasing Thursday the findings of its investigation into a string of police shootings since 2010, the majority of which were found to violate constitutional rights.
Federal officials also criticized the Police Department's policies on use of force against those with mental illnesses.
Fliers that read "save a life, kill a cop" were found in newspaper distribution boxes near the University of New Mexico on Friday. The leaflets also were found on light poles and electronic boxes.

Apparently a mortar and stone chimney that's evolved over time from a gentler, more ancient era, this fireplace is flanked by comfy bench seating. Texturing is rustic, distinctly casual and unpretentious. Unexpected wall sconces add a fun-loving quirkiness as if to say: we don't take life too seriously but we are serious about making time to be with friends.
Floating in a white mosaic tile surround, this fireplace becomes the visual centre of a contemplative library. On either side, a selection of books and art pieces are displayed against vertical paneling of built-in bookcases. Standing guard on the marble mantle, three elongated medieval knights rest on their longbows amid the forest ferns.
Angular and modern, this fireplace is topped by a dramatic glass art plate in crimson. Matched wall lights in dark metallic finish and austere rectangular shape, give balance and visual depth to the white, floor-to-ceiling surround. But for sheer comfort, settle into one of the overstuffed armchairs and loose yourself in the pages of the latest best seller by your favourite novelist.

Biomass conference addresses farming community's role in industry
The farming community is an integral part of the biorefining and biomass heat and power industries. However, its contribution to the growth of the industry can—at times—be overshadowed by the massive amount of attention paid to research, development and scale-up activities. Attendees at the 2011 International Biomass Conference & Expo in St. Louis had the opportunity to learn more about the farming community's perspective of the biomass industry during a panel titled Enlisting Farmers in the Profitable Production of Biomass Supply Chains.
Daniel Simon, a partner in Ballard Spahr LLP's Energy and Project Finance Group, opened the panel with a historical overview of the Biomass Crop Assistance Program. Although the program initially faced a variety of implementation issues, the USDA is forging ahead.
During his presentation Simon noted that USDA originally planned to accept project area proposals for BCAP on a rolling basis, but in a surprise move announced application deadlines for the program earlier this spring. "You need to get your application in by May 27," said Simon. Although the move came as a bit of a shock to those following the program, he noted that it is understandable under the circumstances. "I think USDA wants to get the money out the door as quickly as possible," Simon added. The optimistic schedule established by the USDA calls for the state level Farm Service Agency to review the applications by June 10, with federal reviews following two weeks later.
The biggest question with the program right now, said Simon, is whether or not Congress will continue to fund the program in Fiscal Year 2012 and beyond. The USDA seems to strongly support this program, Simon noted, but said it has had "a very tortured history." For this reason the USDA seems very motivated to roll out the program correctly and make sure the assigned funding goes to support the best possible projects.
Don McCabe, vice president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, also participated in the panel and was able to share valuable insight from the view of the farming community. McCabe noted there seems to be a lot of potential in the biomass power sector, but potential doesn't necessarily equate to reality. "Talk to me in three years; talk to me in 10 years and I'll tell you if it's reality or not," he said. "There is no silver bullets here folks, but I'm very optimistic there is a whole lot of silver buckshot."
McCabe offered a simple explanation of what famers need in order to become involved in biomass production—fair compensation. "Don't come insult me by offering me $35 a ton for corn stalks," he said. "I've got earth worms that are hungry. They are going to eat it before you are." He elaborated by noting that famers already supply our society with food, clothing, hunting opportunities, jobs, and several other important products and services. "So, now you want me to supply electrons?" he said. "I'll do it, but show me the money, because something has to give…$7 corn is here to stay and so are soybeans." In addition, McCabe spoke about the farming community's needs regarding long-term contracts for biomass crops, simple logistics plans and strong federal policies.
Risk was a primary topic of Timothy Baye's presentation. Baye is a professor of business and bioenergy specialists with the University of Wisconsin-Extension. The biomass value proposition is "all about risk," he said. "It's all about dealing with risk involved from the ground to the conversion—and getting paid for that risk…When you first think about biomass supply you are thinking about optimizing the value extraction. It's a good place to start. Think about all the variables. The pulp and paper industry has a long history of dealing with a lot of bulky products, logistics [and] pricing." There are also comparisons that can be made with the grain, oil, gas and coal industries.
Aaron Schuchart, a managing partner with Biomass Integrators LLC, closed out the session with a discussion of how biomass composition, genetics, agronomic practices, soil composition and harvest dates all contribute to the impact biomass fuels have on boiler operations and emissions.
"Ideally as an industry we would have a database to actually quantify all of these independent variables and their effect on fuel composition, but unfortunately we do not have that," he said. "So, what we recommend is for any project that is going to employ a dedicated energy crop, we suggest a one-year pilot program—at a minimum—as part of your feasibility prior to actually scaling to [the commercial level]."
Schuchart also spoke about federal policy needs. While there has been a lot of talk about BCAP, he noted that there are several other actions the federal government could take to support the biomass industry, including the development of crop insurance for dedicated energy crops and the inclusion of grasses grown under conservation programs. "I think those two things would be really helpful," he said.

Jeff Pearce-follow the river home
I remember the first time I heard Jeff Pearce's music. He was an independent artist and not all that many people knew of him, from what I could tell. Now, about 20 years later, his albums garner universal raves, he plays live all around the country, and he appears as a guest artist on many reputable musicians' recordings. He does all this while maintaining the same easy-going, down-to-earth, unpretentious, and amazingly humble personality he exhibited when I first contacted him those same 20 years ago (not as a reviewer but as a devout fan). What this has to do with his music is simply this: It takes someone of Jeff Pearce's nature to continually compose and record music that manages to wholly embrace the ambient aesthetic while at the same time also reflect the deepest feelings of human emotions, whether warm, dark, sad, introspective, full of awe and wonder, or lost in a sea of loneliness and despair. This is what makes him who he is as a musician, someone who delves deep into his own soul and then reveals what he finds to his listeners.
follow the river home
is emblematic of these traits, as the diversity of the music (and this is easily Pearce's most diverse album so far) allows the listener to experience a range of emotional resonances. In some ways, this album is like a Disneyworld ride (a la It's A Small World) through the wide expanse of Pearce's ambient-guitar musical career (I am omitting his forays into both Chapman stick and piano). You have the overt guitar-oriented over-lapping notes drenched in reverb of the opening track "Under Summer Stars," (stunningly gorgeous and so evocative), to the broad vista soundscapes of "Downstream I" which will leave you slack-jawed when you realize that all this ambience is accomplished with just an electric guitar and effects. "Outpost" and its echoed plaintive guitar notes, ping-ponging like a solar sonar sounding device, sending its signal out into the universe over a bedrock of warm undulating drones. Then there is "Snowfall," which will shock all except those who attended the 2015 Zone Music Reporter awards show during which, in a stunning finale, Pearce showcased his ability to shred electric guitar riffs alongside the virtuoso talents of Paul Speer. "Snowfall" opens with cascading looped guitar chords before erupting into stinging leads that soar, cry, moan and sigh to the heavens. Who knew? Jeff Pearce—the ultimate cosmic rocker. "Downstream II" features looped guitar notes over a bed of drones like cascading aural raindrops streaming down a pane of glass, slowly subsiding into swirling ambience as the storm passes. The album centerpiece, the 20+ minute "Gathering Stars," is spacemusic bliss defined…amorphous guitar-driven textural soundscapes fluidly float across an inky black sky. This track is the equal of any piece of deep space drifting music you may have heard ever—hyperbole, but well deserved. Listen to it on headphones in a dark room and disagree with me - I dare ya! Finally, we come to rest with the concluding title track—a plaintive electric guitar refrain which echoes the brilliance of Mark Knopfler's soundtrack work on albums such as his soundtracks for Local Hero and Cal.
Watching an artist evolve his or her career over time is a curious thing as a reviewer, especially if we come to know the artist as a person, as I have been fortunate to do with Jeff Pearce. I am thrilled beyond my ability to state that he has achieved the notoriety that I anticipated 20 years ago, which is not to praise my prescience but rather to emphasize the eventuality of his talent surfacing for others to bask in and admire. My father once said to me "Billy, you cannot hide a light under a bushel without its light someday shining." Jeff Pearce's light shines brightly, and has for many years.
follow the river home
is both a signpost testifying to that as well as a wayside on the musical journey that Pearce is on. We are lucky to bear witness to this musical luminary and I, for one, can't wait for what lies ahead.

Predictive Analytics, Machine Learning and Data Science for Big Data
This course is an introduction to a range of fundamental skills, techniques and tools for those aspiring to become Data Scientists. These include Big Data, Machine Learning and Cloud Computing.
Data Science, Predictive Modelling and Big Data skills are of vital and growing importance in commercial, government, and not-for-profit organisations. Those in the Management, Product, Risk and IT functions benefit from skills and literacy in this area.
This two-day course introduces a range of techniques as they are commonly used in business, and provides practical experience in their use. No prior knowledge of R is required.
Course outline
This course will provide a conceptual overview and practical hands-on experience of a wide range of key tools, techniques and processes.
At the heart of the data mining toolkit is the suite of predictive modelling methods. Accordingly, the course will develop attendees' literacy in the strengths, characteristics and correct application of a range of predictive modelling methods, from relatively simple linear models through to complex and powerful Random Forests, Support Vector Machines, Decision Trees, Tree Boosting Machines and Neural Networks will be covered along the way.
It will also teach the correct framing of predictive modelling problems, suitably preparing data, evaluating model accuracy and stability, interpreting results and interrogating models.
The two key styles of predictive modelling – operational for targeting and explanatory for insights – will be described and distinguished.
As well as predictive modelling, the course will cover a range of other key data mining tools, including:
- Data exploration and visualisation: univariate summaries, correlation matrices, heat maps, hierarchical clustering.
- Cluster analysis – used for customer segmentation and anomaly detection
- Other "unsupervised" outlier detection tools.
This course will primarily be taught using Rattle, a graphical interface for predictive modelling and data science in R. Participants will be exposed to "Big Data" techniques as applied to machine learning and deployed on Cloud Computing platforms.
Additional topics
The following additional topics may be covered depending on the pace and interests of the class:
- Link and network a nalysis visualisation – which provide a simple and compelling way to communicate and analyse relationships, and are commonly applied in forensics, human resources and law enforcement.
- Association analysis – used in retail market basket analysis and the assessment of risk groupings.
- Frequent item set analysis.
Who should attend?
This course is suitable for anyone in management, administrative, product, marketing, finance, risk and IT roles who works with data and wants to become acquainted with modern data analysis tools.
No prior knowledge of R is required to take this course.
Course outcomes
Attendees should, by the end of the course:
- Learn fundamentals of predictive modelling and experience using a range of methods.
- Have improved their ability to assess the effectiveness and fitness for purpose of any predictive modelling tool or technique.
- Have experience with a range of unsupervised data techniques.
- Be exposed to Big Data and Cloud Computing applications.
Course instructor
The course will be led by Presciient director Dr Eugene Dubossarsky or another Presciient instructor.
Dr Dubossarsky is the head of the Sydney Users of R Forum. Eugene is also Principal Founder of Analyst First, an international analytics industry organisation. He is a founder of the Institute of Analytics Professionals of Australia (IAPA); Director, University of New South Wales School of Mathematics and Statistics Industry Advisory Board; and a recognised industry leader in Business Analytics. Eugene is an experienced, analytics professional of 20 years' experience programming in R and its parent language, S.
Having studied stats at Uni I was surprised how far the field has progressed in the last few years, particularly in the area of big data. The great thing about Eugene's course is I left with a sense that I was up to date with the latest big data modelling concepts but more importantly could also deploy them with some confidence using R. Eugene also made it clear he was available to answer questions after the course, so you are not left hanging. I would absolutely recommend this!
—Damon Rasheed, CEO, Rate Detective
For someone who does not come from an IT background R is a terrifying program. Before doing the Introduction to R course I had previously done other courses in R but always found myself in over my head because they assumed a high level of program experience (even course that required no prior programming knowledge). This course is not like that at all. It starts at ground zero and teaches you everything you need to know to be able to use R confidently in your everyday workplace. It is a must attend for anyone who wants use R!
—Alix Duncan
Data science can be a challenging topic but Eugene's "Introduction to Machine Learning" course turns complex statistical models into plain English. The course contents and presentation were accessible and I enjoyed the mixture of hands-on rattle() exercises, the challenge of building multiple models with real life data, and the salient theory whiteboard discussions created many "aha" moments.
It was a great introductory course and it gave me with a better grasp of Machine Learning in general, a great framework for thinking about it and practical hands-on skills that I can put to immediate use. I wish I had done this course sooner.
—Charl Swart, Director of Business Operations, Unisys Credit Services

Colorado Rapids midfielder Brian Mullan following the team's disappointing 1-1 tie with Chivas USA:
On the result despite dominating the game:
"It seems like the story of the season this year. We go out and play well and let a goal or two in. It's been disappointing and we haven't finished our chances."
On his goal:
"Yeah, Shalrie Joseph takes a touch and I just lunge in not thinking I could get it. And fortunately it hops right to me and I don't think I could have missed it."
On the team morale:
"I'm sure everybody's down. It's a tough result to come away with one point when we should have three. So we're not very happy. We're out there to win and tonight it just wasn't there for us."
On facing San Jose Earthquakes next week:
"It's a team who's doing well. We dominated them here and the same thing happened again. We have to solve the problems and put our chances in."

You want to do what?! Bring the architect of the State Capitol, John Tourtellotte, back to life?!
The old Carnegie Library provided the perfect setting
for the resurrection of our architect extraordinaire.
The building was designed by the firm of
Tourtellotte & Hummel.
The old Carnegie Library is currently the Huntley law office, a
spectacular place with interesting lighting challenges. Thanks to
their generosity, we re-arranged their work space for about 7 hours
during the evening, to create an architect's office.
Actor Mark Anthony Taylor prepares to become our
John Tourtellotte.
Director Pat Metzler considers his lighting options in a building
drenched in sunlight.
Our actor at the local costume shop the week
before. Yikes! Bozo the Architect! Must be that hair!
Okay, maybe we can still make this work, with a visit to the hair
stylist and some make-up help from Joan Cartan-Hansen. Camera
guy Jay Krajic shoots the action.
The dueling cameras of Capitol Commission liaison
Gary Daniel and Jay Krajic.
Architect Charles Hummel, grandson of the co-designer of
the Capitol, shows Royce Williams and Bruce Reichert
original drawings of the building. In the early 1900's, no
one was better than the team of Tourtelllotte & Hummel
Sauni Symonds, Bruce Reichert, Joan Cartan-Hansen and Joan Yost
compare notes.
Charles Hummel and Royce Williams pore
over 100 year old plans.
Sometime during the evening, the ghost of
John E. Tourtellotte enters the soul of our actor. John
Tourtellotte used a dictaphone to record his thoughts
about the power of architecture to make us better
Editor Sauni Symonds looks on approvingly
The actor delivers his lines... "the great white light of conscience must be allowed to shine, and by its interior illumination make clear the path of duty."

Now, in honor of the Gilmer Buckeyes, who are on their way to College Station to compete in the Texas 7 on 7 Championships beginning tomorrow afternoon, here is the column I wrote after they won their second state football championship in 2009:
WHAT A Christmas present was created for the Army of Buckeyes at SMU's Ford Stadium Saturday night!
Those of us who stayed at home, watching on TV and/or listening to the radio accounts, were there in spirit along with the 8,000 (according to the KYKX radio guys) who filled the Gilmer side of the stadium to see our Buckeyes defeat the Abilene Wylie Bulldogs, 43-26.
The AAA Division I state championship trophy that Coach Jeff Traylor's team brought home may not stay on display at Gilmer High "forever," as one commentator put it. But it undoubtedly will have an honored place for a very long time.
OF COURSE the Gilmer school district stretches from the south to the north borders of Upshur County, but it can't account for all of the crowd. There was obviously a large turnout of former Buckeyes now living in the Dallas area. (The "brain drain" from East Texas small towns to the Metroplex is an old story.)
The Abilene Reporter News did an excellent job of describing Gilmer and its football tradition.
In a story posted on its web site last Thursday, sports writer Daniel Youngblood told about how and why Gilmer folks "love their Buckeyes."
He referred to "the quaint town square" where flags and other decorations wished the team great success.
COACH JEFF TRAYLOR, Mirror writer/photographer Mary L. Kirby and sports writer Joe Dodd all were interviewed.
"Folks are pretty well preoccupied with Gilmer football," Mary was quoted, by way of introduction to Coach Traylor.
After giving Jeff's background as a winning coach and (like Mary and Joe) a Gilmer High graduate who had lived here most of his life, Youngblood wrote that "Traylor has grown to appreciate how much fans appreciate his team."
The coach summed up:
"They've always loved football, even when we weren't very good. We've always had a packed house.
"People in Gilmer just love football. They expect their kids to be coached hard and act a certain way. A lot of communities say that, but not many of them support you. Gilmer's very supportive."
Joe Dodd agreed, saying in part:
"Like any small town in Texas, going to games on Friday nights is just the thing to do. I always thought it was neat as a kid to see all the lights on some of these long country roads and highways. You'd just look back and see lights as far as you could see."
ON HIS PRE-GAME visit here, Youngblood discovered the well-known identity of Gilmer's two No. 1 fans, who have a plaque from the Booster Club to prove it. He wrote about how Gilmer football has been bringing Lena Childress and Mary Jo Dean together for years.
The two widows have lived in the area for nearly all of their lives and been friends since age 14. the writer related, adding that since 2001, they have been staples at Gilmer games, arriving several hours early to take their seats eight rows up on the 50-yard line.
Lena was quoted as saying that Coach Traylor "jokes with us that that's where all the noise comes from."
Youngblood wrote that the two women also participate in what's become a Booster Club tradition — cooking meals for the Gilmer coaches on Thursdays during the playoffs.
THE ABILENE writer found a man who represents the non-Gilmer High-connected cohort that enthusiastically supports the Buckeyes:
Robert Brown, who moved from the Dallas/Fort Worth area to a home nine miles west of Gilmer in 1973, said he adopted the Buckeyes as his team when he came here from Euless. He said:
"We love the Buckeyes. We just do everything we can to support them. This town is a Buckeye town. It's a good town, good team, good people."
Bringing his story up to date this week, Youngblood wrote that members of the Wylie High School Booster Club were still proud of the Bulldogs after their defeat in Dallas.
And the season isn't yet over for the Abilene daily newspaper's sports writers.
Abilene High is the West Texas city's older and larger high school. Celina Eminson wrote this week about the state championship game coming up Saturday night between that school's Eagles and the Katy Tigers.
They'll play for the Texas 5A Division II championship at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
OLD SOLDIERS in the Army of Buckeyes, who remember as far back as great teams of the 1930s and '40s, could never have dreamed then of what the future held. Regional championships were as far as small schools could advance in those days, for one difference.
And the idea of being able to follow a game in real time from distant places was not even seen through a glass darkly.
Listening to the Gilmer-Cuero game streaming on the Internet on Dec. 5, I was one of more than 270 listeners signed on. Some of the names I recognized were Sarah Sharp Allen in California, Bob Herrmann in New York and Dakota Hagler in Kansas.

The Miami Heat (2006) and Miami Marlins (2003) replaced their head coach/manager midseason and went on to win championships. Could the same be in store for the 2015 Miami Dolphins?
Probably not. Midseason coaching changes in the NFL rarely turn out well. According to STATS, the Dolphins are the 26th team since 2000 to make a midseason coaching change and none of the previous 25 made the playoffs.
Since 2010, interim coaches in the NFL have had mixed results during their time in charge, but none of the teams that made those midseason changes finished the season with a winning record.
As Dan Campbell prepares for his first game as the Dolphins' interim head coach Oct. 18...
