text: Dear all: Here's the final schedule (revised, to add Ricardo Baeza-Yates' talk in) for Yahoo! visit. Hope to see you there. It'll be a fun-filled seminar couple of days, here is the quick breakdown: MSRA - Thursday afternoon Yahoo! - Friday morning Baidu - Friday afternoon Please attend all! :-) Min ---- Yahoo! Research Labs talks / Recent Research in NLP / IR at YRL Talk Overviews (times are approximate): 9:30-10:00 - Ricardo Baeza-Yates / Towards a Distributed Search Engine 10:00-10:30 - Evgeniy Gabrilovich / Overview of Computational Advertising 10:30-11:00 - Rosie Jones / Geography in Web Search 11:00-11:30 - Donald Metzler / Predicting when (not) to Advertise 11:30-12:00 - Vanessa Murdock / Diversifying Image Search with User Generated Content 1. Ricardo Baeza-Yates Title: Towards a Distributed Search Engine Abstract: Distributed search engines are often more complex to implement compared to centralized engines. Distributing a search engine across multiple sites, however, has several advantages. In particular, it enables the utilization of less computer resources and the exploitation of data and user locality. In this presentation we show the feasibility of distributed Web search engines, by proposing a model for assessing the total cost of a distributed Web-search engine that includes the computational costs as well as the communication cost among all distributed sites. Using examples, we show that a distributed Web search engine can be more cost effective than a centralized one, if there is a large percentage of local queries, which is usually the case. We then present a query-processing algorithm that maximizes the amount of queries answered locally, without sacrificing the quality of the results, by using caching and partial replication. We simulate our algorithm on real document collections and real query workloads to measure the actual parameters needed for our cost model, and we show that a distributed search engine can be competitive compared to a centralized architecture with respect to cost. This is joint work with Aris Gionis, Flavio Junqueira, Vassilis Plachouras and Luca Telloli. Bio: Ricardo Baeza-Yates is VP of Yahoo! Research for Europe and Latin America, leading the labs at Barcelona, Spain and Santiago, Chile. Until 2005 he was the director of the Center for Web Research at the Department of Computer Science of the Engineering School of the University of Chile; and ICREA Professor at the Dept. of Technology of Univ. Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain. He is co-author of the book Modern Information Retrieval, published in 1999 by Addison-Wesley, as well as co-author of the 2nd edition of the Handbook of Algorithms and Data Structures, Addison-Wesley, 1991; and co-editor of Information Retrieval: Algorithms and Data Structures, Prentice-Hall, 1992, among more than 150 other publications. He has received the Organization of American States award for young researchers in exact sciences (1993) and with two Brazilian colleagues obtained the COMPAQ prize for the best CS Brazilian research article (1997). In 2003 he was the first computer scientist to be elected to the Chilean Academy of Sciences. During 2007 he was awarded the Graham Medalfor innovation in computing, given by the University of Waterloo to distinguished ex-alumni. 2. Evgeniy Gabrilovich Title: Overview of Computational Advertising Abstract: Web advertising is the primary driving force behind many Web activities, including Internet search as well as publishing of online content by third-party providers. A new discipline - Computational Advertising - has recently emerged, which studies the process of advertising on the Internet from a variety of angles. A successful advertising campaign should be relevant to the immediate user's information need as well as more generally to user's background, be economically worthwhile to the advertiser and the intermediaries (e.g., the search engine), as well as not detrimental to user experience. At first approximation, the process of obtaining relevant ads can be reduced to conventional information retrieval, where one constructs a query that describes the user's context, and then executes this query against a large inverted index of ads. We show how to augment the standard IR approach using query expansion and text classification techniques. We demonstrate how to employ a relevance feedback assumption and use Web search results retrieved by the query. We will also survey the numerous challenges and open research problems posed by computational advertising, such as text summarization, natural language generation, named entity extraction, handling geographic names, and others. Bio: Evgeniy Gabrilovich is a Senior Research Scientist and Manager of the NLP & IR Group at Yahoo! Research. His research interests include information retrieval, machine learning, and computational linguistics. Recently, he co-organized a workshop on the synergy between Wikipedia and research in AI at AAAI 2008, as well as co-presented a tutorial on computation advertising at ACL 2008 and EC 2008. He served on the program committees of ACL-08:HLT, AAAI 2008, WWW 2008, CIKM 2008, JCDL 2008, AAAI 2007, EMNLP-CoNLL 2007, and COLING-ACL 2006. Evgeniy earned his MSc ad PhD degrees in Computer Science from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. In his Ph.D. thesis, Evgeniy developed a methodology for using large scale repositories of world knowledge (e.g., all the knowledge available in Wikipedia) in order to enhance text representation beyond the bag of words. URL: http://research.yahoo.com/Evgeniy_Gabrilovich 3. Rosie Jones Title: Geography in Web Search Abstract: Web search results are typically based on the user's search query, without taking other contextual information into account. However, we can see from user search behavior that for some search topics the user may prefer results which are geographically close to home. We will show topics which have a geographical dependence, as well as others which appear to be geographically independent. Based on these findings, we propose a more flexible approach to web search, which in which we prefer a ranking with results close to the user location when this will best satisfy the user's information need. Bio: Rosie Jones is a Senior Research Scientist at Yahoo!. Her research interests include web search, geographic information retrieval and natural language processing. She received her PhD from the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. In 2005 she co-organized the SIGIR workshop on lexical cohesion and information retrieval, and in 2003 she co-organized the ICML workshop on The Continuum from Labeled to Unlabeled Data in Machine Learning and Data Mining. She served as a Senior PC member for SIGIR in 2007 and 2008. URL: http://research.yahoo.com/Rosie_Jones 4. Donald Metzler Title: Predicting when (not) to Advertise Abstract: In this talk we discuss the problem of whether or not to show online advertisements. We propose two methods for addressing this problem, a simple thresholding approach and a machine learning approach, which collectively analyzes the set of candidate ads augmented with external knowledge. Our experimental evaluation, based on over 28,000 editorial judgments, shows that we are able to predict, with high accuracy, when to show ads for both content match and sponsored search advertising tasks. Bio: Donald Metzler is a Research Scientist at Yahoo! Research in Santa Clara, CA. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2007. His research interests include information retrieval, machine learning, and their intersection. He is the co-author of Search Engines: Information Retrieval in Practice, which will be published in the early part of 2009. URL: http://research.yahoo.com/Don_Metzler 5. Vanessa Murdock Title: Diversifying Image Search with User Generated Content Abstract: Large-scale image retrieval on the Web relies on the availability of short snippets of text associated with the image. This user-generated content is a primary source of information about the content and context of an image. While traditional information retrieval models focus on finding the most relevant document without consideration for diversity, image search requires results that are both diverse and relevant. This is problematic for images because they are represented very sparsely by text, and as with all user-generated content the text for a given image can be extremely noisy. The contribution of this paper is twofold. We show that it is possible to minimize the trade-off between precision and diversity, relevance models offer a unified framework to afford the greatest diversity without harming precision. Furthermore we show that estimating the query model from the distribution of tags favors the dominant sense of a query. Relevance models operating only on tags offers the highest level of diversity with no significant decrease in precision. Bio: Vanessa Murdock currently holds a Post Doc position at Yahoo! Research Barcelona. Her current work focuses on retrieval of short texts, such as for advertisements, and user-generated content for images and video. She completed her PhD in 2006 at the University of Massachusetts, working with W. Bruce Croft. Her thesis, focusing on sentence retrieval for applications such as Question Answering, novelty detection, and information provenance, was recently published as a book "Exploring Sentence Retrieval.

Step beneath the domed, packed-mud ceiling of a traditional Navajo family dwelling. Weave a Yavapi burden basket. Explore a secluded garden filled with bronze sculptures of women in prayer. By immersing visitors in Native American artifacts and artworks, the Heard Museum's exhibits strive to illuminate the cultural legacy of Arizona's indigenous peoples. The collections emphasize first-person accounts of Native cultures, not only through artwork, but also in interviews with Native Americans, portraits by Navajo photographers, and monthly lectures. In addition to showcasing historical artifacts, the Heard Museum exhibits contemporary American Indian artwork. Like a ballerina trapped on a carousel, exhibits rotate often, and have included collections of Native American bolo ties, Hopi pottery, and 20th-century paintings depicting Native ceremony. Passing on cultural traditions to future generations, the staff educates children with tours, and brings Native American presentations and curricula to area schools.
Bessie Heard dedicated years of her life to philanthropic efforts throughout the McKinney area, helping plant hackberry trees along downtown streets and establishing an American Red Cross chapter during World War I. However, she accomplished her greatest feat in 1967 when the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary opened to the public. With 289 acres of rolling space, the sanctuary functions as a testament to the diversity of local flora and fauna, educating visitors and urging them to protect those species for future generations.
More than 6.5 miles of unpaved hiking trails wind throughout the sanctuary, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in habitats that range from tall-grass prairie to limestone slopes. The grounds shelter more than 150 varieties of wildflowers and plants, as well as more than 240 species of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and carnivorous shrubs. In addition to the trails, the sanctuary also features an extensive garden of native trees, grasses, and perennials, as well as a treetop ropes course (reservation required; additional fees apply). Indoors, interactive exhibits and collections impart valuable information on north-Texan geology, marine life, and venomous snakes.
For all their ubiquity, chain restaurants seldom embody the same character and culture as their independently owned counterparts. That's where Arizona Food Tours comes in. With their signature A Taste of Old Town Scottsdale tour, the company introduces visitors to the idiosyncrasies and food of the desert burg, from classic western grub to the local wine bars that pour cabernet and red zinfandel for diners and thirsty cacti.
The Arizona Republic and its online reviewers love the Phoenix Symphony, and Kudzu users give it five stars:
Nestled within 18,500 square feet and designed by award-winning architect Will Bruder, Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art's quintet of galleries—formerly a cineplex's five theaters—have hosted changing and permanent exhibitions of art, architecture, and design since 1999. The outdoor sculpture garden features acclaimed pieces such as James Turrell's experiential Knight Rise skyspace and James Carpenter Design Associates' Scrim Wall. After viewing the art outside, visitors can return indoors to explore furnishings and jewelry in the shop or examine work by local youth in the young@art gallery. The museum's Visions Teen Program continues to nurture burgeoning talent, pairing teenagers with visual-art teachers and visiting artists. Adults can also enrich their artistic know-how at lectures and workshops until they are able to draw a perfect circle with a pencil still tucked behind their ear. The museum's lounge fosters artistic communities through events ranging from screenings of international art movies to art-making sessions.

About Social Impact Research
To ensure that the trillions of dollars that will be invested in the nonprofit sector over the next 50 years results in significant social impact, funders and nonprofits need the same high-quality information that is widely available in the private sector.
Unfortunately, rigorous information on social issue and nonprofit performance in specific sectors is either nonexistent or challenging to access. This is where Social Impact Research (SIR) comes in.
Social Impact Research conducts independent research to acquire an understanding of the most effective approaches for addressing a specific social issue. SIR then analyzes program performance to provide funders and nonprofit leaders with the actionable information needed to make the best decisions for pursuing sustainability and growth.
For nonprofits, SIR analyzes programs by using social issue specific best practices as a yardstick to identify strengths and areas for improvement. SIR's Peer Performance Exchange takes the analysis one step further by providing nonprofits with tools to act on these new insights.
For funders, SIR conducts comparative analyses of program quality and performance across social issues so they can make better strategic funding decisions.

The sad decline of RTS
- Jul 3, 2012 7:28 am GMTI know I'll be showing my age here, but I wanted to make a recap on how I got into RTS games. Many Suns ago, I was asked to join a LAN party with friends. There was this new game called Total Anihilation. Little I suspected I was about to become hooked to the RTS genre for life. In RTS games, I found the breadth of gaming I was looking for: lots of units, lots of buildings, lots of research trees, lots of ways of winning. I personally love micromanagement. I like having lots of options and the joy of mix and matching them. To this day, I keep my TA CDs with something approaching worship. Then came the Command & Conquer series, a worthy upgrade of graphics without compromising the main premise. C&C Generals (including Zero Hour) were fun but had whiff of staleness about them. Just when I thought I knew all about RTS, along came one truly epic game: Homeworld. The story line (especially the beginning) was heart wrenching and involved. The control system had you thinking in true 3D for the first time. And the views. Ah, the views! You must realise that no other space based program had ever been rendered like that. I was utterly amazed at the beauty of space. After that, there came the decline of the RTS. Somehow, game developers thought that having too many units or options was too complicated for the gamers and started making crippling restrictions. Level caps became ridiculously small. Buildings had to be positioned in specific places only. Very often, a single superunit was the only realistic one to build. Ditto with a particular research item. Story lines became childish and incoherent. Nowadays, modern "RTS" games seem to be a mangle of RTS, RPG and squad-based constructs. I am not against any of those two last genres, mind you. It's just that it's not what I'm looking for when playing RTS. There are some exceptions, of course. I found Rise of Legends to have an imaginative story line, even though you're still restricted to building were they tell you. The Age of Empire series have also good story arcs, although a bit too "american" for my taste (the Asian Dynasties expansion was an utter disgrace in terms of "westernisation" of asian values). Supreme Commander (1, NOT 2) it's the last game to be faithful to the pure RTS idea. Yes, you get superunits. But they take so long to research and build, that you feel they're only there as eye candy, rather than realistic multiplayer options. Although, at the end of the day, there is essentially no difference in game-play between SC1 and TA. I wish developers had a bit more imagination when creating new RTS games. I'm up to here with the space theme, to be honest. After Homeworld, all the others seem just a copy. Here are a couple of my (wild) ideas: - Ant or Bees colonies Not those stupid, physically impossible insectoid baddies we get nowadays. I mean real ants or bees: Queen, workers, soldiers. - Microbes Another environment which lends itself to the main idea, with slight twists like assimilating enemies, or building complex cells. I could think of a game consisting of a human body cells trying to outwit an invasion of bacteria or virus. /sigh Please can someone DO something about it ...
- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
- Jul 3, 2012 4:25 pm GMTYou seem to have a really clear vision of what you want in a game. I suggest downloading UDK and making it happen for yourself! Oh, and it's spelled annihilation ;) just being a dick.
- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
- Jul 4, 2012 1:57 am GMTDude, play any total war. You have real-time for the battles, and turn based for the campaign. Its the BEST strategy game ever made, ever since I played Rome Total War I haven't enjoyed another strategy game since. But, you have to be intelligent, you know - don't charge horses into spear men, don't just turn your tax rate up because 'you will have more money that way'. A lot of people just cant handle it, mostly people who play consoles. Coincidence?
- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
- Jul 4, 2012 3:12 am GMTWell, I'm old school and a bit set in my ways. Nevertheless, I consider myself open enough to try new games. Having heard so much about Call of Heroes, I decided to give it a try (just the demo from Steam). Once again I found myself in yet another squad-based "RTS". But my dismay soon gave way to respect. It clearly shares the same 3D engine as Dawn of War 2. Considering Relic is behind both of them it's hardly surprising. Since as I said I am a bit up to here with the space theme, I found CoH much better than DoW2. The environment is superbly recreated and I found the "cover" mechanics both logical and realistic. Sometimes I lost sight of my units and couldn't find them again in the main screen as they blend only too well into the scenery. I guess that's exactly the point. You wouldn't want field soldiers dressed in bright red, would you ? My only peeve is the way resources are collected (manpower, ammunition and fuel) for which you have to control certain strategic points on the map. This not only goes against logic, it also goes against the main theme of the game. I suppose having supply lines, endless arguments with generals about the need of more support, to deal with second-rate weapons and lazy personnel would be *too* realistic :p I like base building but without going over the top and CoH has got the balance right for me. In normal RTS games, you have to build lots of defence towers to compensate for the pop-cap limits (I guess that's how tower-defence games started, right?). In CoH that would be too unrealistic and would spoil the general feeling of the game. I can see how this game got one of the top ratings of all time. I will certainly buy it now. Let's hope they haven't broken a good game with CoH 2. P.S.: I misspelled Annihilation? Oh, noes! Sob, sob, sniff, sniff ... I'm ok. ;-)
- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
- Jul 4, 2012 3:26 am GMTI have played Total War games. My favourite is Shogun TW (the first one). Mostly because it has Japanese speech (my wife is Japanese). I must admit I mostly played the Strategic part of it. That is, I ignored actual battles, as I was not interested in the tactical part. I know you'll probably berate me for missing half the fun of the game, but hey, that's just me. I loved the diplomacy, the research, the taking of strategic provinces (with interesting names like Satsuma and Bingo). Considering I know a bit of Japanese history, I was thrilled to control Oda Nobunaga and the Tokugawa clan. A bit different from TA, C&C and company (which are mostly tactical) but good fun nevertheless.
- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
- Jul 9, 2012 7:39 pm GMTI'm a TA and Supreme Commander Fan myself and I hear what you're saying. I have two words for you; " We're Old". I'm guessing you're about my age, or close; being closer to 40 than 30. That's the way of gaming these days. TA, SC1, The Operation Art of War, Panzer General, Strategic Command. They just don't really make many games like this anymore. My suggestion is battlefront.com or wargamer.net. oh.....and YOU ARE missing out on half of the fun with the Total War series. I'm a bit of a student of japanese history myself and love both Shogun and Shogun 2 total war. The whole Total War series is great!

All the arguments here are valid, but there's one that I think superseeds everything else.
And it's contained in the name - "Real Time".
I've played all the RTS games out there up until 10 years ago, when I woke up in the real world
and I saw the matrix: there are three types of games out there:
- "how fast you can click the mouse" games;
- "how deep can you think/...err ... how large info databases can you maintain" games;
- in between;
The "classical" RTS games are "how fast you can click the mouse" games. If there are successful
ways to win a game, the one applying them faster wins the game. Personally, if I want to test my
synapses time, I'll go play FPS/TPS. There is chess and fast chess. I like the first but not the other.The competition from more elaborated form of the games - the ones discerning in between "tactics"
and "strategy", including the online forms, was too much to bear for the "classical" form of RTS.
TBS/RTT and RTS/TBT games not only became more successful, but are among the first 5 of all-time
greatest, at least on PC.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
- Jul 12, 2012 2:43 am GMTHaving now played through the first 5 campaigns of CoH, I am having second thoughts about this game. I has fallen into the usual malaise of war games. I am constantly irritated by the way the games apply the "difficulty" level. It basically boils down to throwing more and more units at you. They are also stronger, move faster and seem to have an endless supply of resources. As the old saying goes: "God helps the Baddies when they're more than the Goodies". As any good General knows, you have to mass your forces to have a significant effect on your enemy. If your forces are more or less matched, it's your skilled use of tactics that will carry the day. Since I am a descendant of TA, C&C, SC gamers, I hate it when I only have a couple of units at my disposal. What do you mean I can only build one or two anti-tank units ? I know the Panzers are coming. I want one or two ***hundred***, ta very much. And where the hell is my air support ? Yes, I want numbers. I want infantry battalions, tank divisions, batteries of artillery, stacks of gunships, helicopters, stealth bombers. I want rabid dogs, mad scientists, megalomaniac generals, elite troops, poisoned barb-wire. I WANT EVERYTHING !!! HAHAHAHAHAH !!! ... erm ... I may have sounded a bit disturbed for a moment there. Must. Rest.

yes it is sad; thus why Age of Empires 2 in HD came out, because there are no other good RTS's right now. I am looking forward to CoH 2. New RTS's are dumbed down to one reseource, which ruins micromanaging your economy. I think I'll go back to Age of Empires 3 now that you mention it.

Majorca is the perfect island for your holidays: designed for adults and youngsters to enjoy their leisure, thanks to hotels with activities for children, water parks, boat rides, calm waters… Children can bathe and play in the tiny coves or long beaches with swings.
If you like getting wet, prepare yourself for a ride on a slide that's over 30 metres high, for climbing on to a huge raft with your family or jumping over the waves in one of the swimming pools at the large water parks on the island.
The whole family can also learn about animals by signing up for a ride in a glass-bottomed boat and looking at all the different species, or visiting the island's large dolphinarium and enjoying the antics of the dolphins and sea lions.
And for sports lovers, there are several other options: playing mini-golf on courses for all ages or doing one of the bike routes that the island of Majorca offers.

I want to know what's GLA Cargo Plane from Generals actually is. any exact/close real life equivalent of it?
pic: Images2.wikia.nocookie.net
I've did some research before but I've given up as I'm not really familiar with the big birds. someone suggested me it's B-50 Superfortress, but beside the shared trait of round cockpit it's way different.
any idea guys?
According to the CnC wiki. "...This bomber appears to be a four engine Italian Savoia Marchetti bomber."
I personally can't see much of a resemblance in any of the Savoia-Marchetti variants, but here you go anyway.
C&C Wikia is way too unreliable and full of inaccuracy. they often to make up writings by their own instead clarifying on the real sources.
it's clearly a joke that GLA plane is a Savoia-Marchetti. not even close.
Been seeing alot of UH-60 Black Hawks fly over the house and 2 AC-130s go over the house even jets fighters and bombers even saw a B2 Stealth Bomber over a house that is 6 blocks away
Alot of Aircraft i live near a US Air Field base
I usually see Eurocopter Super Pumas, AH-64s and CH-47s fly by near my home. I also used to see many F-5Es and F-15SGs landing as I used to work very close to the Singapore Paya Lebar Air Base. Always makes me smile everytime I see military craft flyby, makes me feel well protected :D
Hope his ears and lungs are OK: Youtube.com
So, the F-313 from Iran looks like a mix of the J-20 and the X-36. Has Iran finally played an Import copy of Ace Combat 3?
hehe its all about that A-10 <333!! !! ! ! ! ! !
How our medias broadcast today, one F-22 "Raptor" crushed on the highway near the "Tindal Air Force" base on Florida. Pilot has ejected and he is alive. Cause of the incident is unknown for now.

HI everyone. I'm Jenna from The Plant Rx. For those of you I haven't "met", I am a physician in the Los Angeles area who advocates a plant-based (vegan) diet. I do research & studies of the health benefits of plant-based diets, among other things in my spare time. One of these includes my blog The Plant Rx (pronounced - The Plant Prescription) where I happen to post - for transparency - my studies, etc along with other information I think (or hope anyway) is valuable.
Since, I started I have had a section titled, " Personal Stories and Testimonials", so that people could read about other people stories and what a Vegan diet has done for them. This has been one of the most popular sections of the site. Recently, one of my readers emailed me with an EXCELLENT suggestion. He suggested that I feature a weekly real-life success story on the main page of the blog. Then, people could ask the "writer" = person whose success story it is questions and then a follow-up will ensue answering those questions.
Thus, if anyone has a success story they would like to share or know someone who does and think they wouldn't mind sharing i would LOVE to hear it. I truly think it's really important in creating awareness of the benefits of a vegan/plant-based diet - on our health, on our environment and for the animals!
You can contact me here via TKD or go to the site via the link and there is a place to email me directly which goes straight to my phone! =)
Thanks so much for reading! Veggie love, Jenna

Business owner fires 22 employees after Obama win
A business owner in Las Vegas claimed that he fired 22 employees because President Barack Obama was reelected. We're taking a closer look at this interesting story from the Current community. Check it out and add your two cents:
Las Vegas business owner fires 22 'mostly Hispanic' employees over Obama win
Submitted by letsliveinpeace
A local business owner who went by "David" told a local radio show that he terminated mostly Hispanic employees because of the rising financial burden on his profits. He said he didn't tell his employees how to vote and followed the law by notifying them 30 days prior that layoffs were possible.
"I explained to them a month ago, if Obama gets in office, the regulations for Obamacare are going to hurt our business, and I am going to have to make provision to make sure that I have enough money to cover payroll taxes, the additional health care I'm going to have to do. And I explained that to them, and I said, 'You do what you feel you need to do, but I'm just letting you know this as a warning that this is things I have to think of as a business owner.'"
"I have to build up that nest egg now for the taxes and regulations that are coming my way," he explained. "Elections do have consequences, but so do choices."
The community responds:
cw9000: "I hope they sue the pants off of him."
Plue: "Following the laws? I thought voter intimidation was illegal."
tverdell: "It is easy for all of us to be kind and generous when things are going well. The true test of character is under adversity. I think this business owner is under a false illusion if he think he is a good guy because when things are good, he is good. But when things get tough, he gets nasty. This just means he is innately a nasty individual."
Steamed_N_More: "Prime example of irresponsible capitalism? Fiscal immaturity? Predatory business modeling? You bet! Probably misinformed and lazy as well. It is like he knew what was law, but closed his eyes hoping an administrative change would protect him and his family, and not real concerned for anyone else!"

I'm certain the story is false. It's possible that no one recognized his voice, but basically inconceivable that none of his employees revealed his identity within a day or two of the publicity. The details are just to make the lie seem more plausible, and that's a well known technique. The only point of the story is that journalism is dead in America. It might have been worth checking out, but as soon as it became obvious it was a lie, it never should have been heard of again.
- 6 months ago
I am not sure why you think this story can't be true. I have no idea whether it is or not, but firing 22 people is hardly worth lying about when C.E.Os from around the country are admitting that Obama's re-election is exactly why they are laying people off by the 100s.

I think this story is false because why would heath care cost rise for people with heath care when more people are in the system? It would rise if you don't offer heath care in your company and most of the companies listed on this blog are good paying companies. I think this is a right wing propaganda; and where sources of this info?

Anyone are using Obama election as an excuse to fire lies. As the workers could say "I was fired because of the election" and get unemployment for 99 weeks. in the meanwhile the job does not get done. How is that smart business ? Punishing people for something they did not do? Also clearly that a bad place to work. And could you sue for wrongful termination? Not to mention a single payer system might solve all this..... like in the rest of the civilized world.

Expose the name of the company. No customers, no business! The power of the purse, is stronger than many think. Spread the word, they don't deserve our business. Do business somewhere else.

Great location for toruists and business
Posted Jan 4, 2013
Pros: Staff very professional
Cons: No Buffet breakfast and expensive if eating there
Location: Close to the ocean area, shopping ans restaurants available, Great
Two negative things: they don't have buffet breakfast and it's not included in the price. They also charge apart for internet, considering this as a business hotel. When I checked in they gave me at the begining a very small room and then they changed that for a bigger one which was nice.

My experience was great I got really sick for 2 days and a member of the hotel called me to check on me after the house keeping came in to clean the room and he sent me some Gatorate and tea to make sure I would drink and get better he also offer to call a doctor for me, what a nice touch where youre not at home and youre not feeling good.

New hotel in Lima
Posted Jan 4, 2013
Pros: The decor and cleanliness of the hotel. Also the Concierge service.
Cons: Service at the reception desk.
Location: Well located, about 6 blocks from Larcomar mall and the Miraflores shore.
Hilton Hotel is located close to the Miraflores shore about 6 blocks from Larcomar mall. It's a really new hotel, it had about 3 months when I stayed there. Everything is really nice and clean. I felt safe walking around in daytime. The size of the room is standard, not big, but not small. The Concierge is excellent helping you plan your day in Lima. The only thing that didn't meet my requirements was that I had a midnight flight, so I checked out and asked a blond guy at the reception desk to let me get back at night and take a shower in any room (Lima has a very humid and hot climate). He told me it was not possible. Also the food prices are really expensive ($20 USD for a ham and cheese sandwich). Despite that I had a great stay at the hotel. It's an excellent option if you find a discount fare.

Great hotel for famiy or business.
Posted Jan 3, 2013
Pros: The design, decoration, service, location
Cons: Having to notify the reception area to send someone to open the gate to the self-parking garage.
Location: Great - close to shops, banks, and both residential and business atmosphere all around.
This is a beautiful hotel in the heart of Miraflores and walking distance to shops such as Larco Mar. The staff was very courteous and helpful. The room was beautiful with a nicely designed triangular roof over the living area, great for receiving visitors. The lobby also was great. I enjoyed getting up in the mornings and seeing the sunrise from the hotel top terrace and then jumping into the jacuzzi also on top of the hotel. The view was relaxing. The hotel had valet parking, but if you are on a budget and cannot afford to tip every time you get your car, you have the option of self-parking. The only inconvenience was that you had to let the reception area know so the would get someone to open the garage gate every time you had to get in or out. Some things were outrageously expensive like a bottle of water was over $10.00 and the breakfast was great, but sometimes items were almost like samples (very small) although the variety was great. Overall, this is a beautiful hotel in a great location. There is a bank nearby if you need to change money to the local currency. I would definitely stay there again if I could afford it.

text: I hate… that SOMETHING is going rotten in my fridge or pantry, and I cannot for the life of me find it. It smells like my parents pantry when they forget about some onion that's fallen in the back for weeks on end. But the thing is, I don't really keep that much fresh produce around… and I've look over and over. Can't figure out what it is, and it's driving me crazzzzzy!!!!!! :(

"The mechanics of food manufacturing are complicated," says Lang. "To succeed you must blend inspiration with knowledge. I call it, 'informed passion.'" Here are some real-life lessons to kick off your education.
Barbara Lang, a former restaurant owner/chef, is a food product development and marketing consultant. She recently retired from teaching at Cornell University's School of Hotel Management. Her book, From Restaurant to Retail: A Handbook for Food and Hospitality Professionals (Ronjon Publishing Inc., 2006), is a must-read for any chef considering a move into food manufacturing. It's a one-stop tutorial with step-by-step instructions and exercises for developing an effective action plan, available at www.restauranttoretail.com. LANG'S LIST
Here are some key concepts:•;Define;your;goals•;Analyze;what's;already;on;the;marketin your category•;Decide;how;products;will;beproduced, stored and sold•;If;using;a;co-packer,;confirm;in;writingthat;you;own;the;final;formula•;Research;federal;and;state;regulations•;Don't;work;in;a;vacuum—talk;with;co-packers, distributors, retailers•;Make;a;strategic;plan•;Get;educated;before;you;get;started
FIND THE RIGHT FORMULAInitially, Evans wanted to bring moreefficiency and consistency to his operationby pre-blending seasoning combinations ingallon containers for his kitchen staff. Heenlisted the help of Dion Tsevdos, whosecompany, Chef Cube—a wholesale dry foodsand spice supplier based in Cleveland—already had a U.S. Department of Agriculture-inspected facility. It was a logical next stepto create 6-ounce jars for home cooks, butrequired multiple go-arounds to make aconsumer-friendly version. "We altered themethodology so the mixture wouldn't cakeup," says Tsevdos, "and added salt and pepper,because they prefer simplicity. Each of thefour recipes contains 12-15 ingredients."value. "I'm looking at two new and differentconcept opportunities. If I get my productsin local, independently owned, high-end grocers, I can begin building brandrecognition before I even cook a meal.""What I was doing didn't make sense froma business perspective," Susser explains."It wasn't a good use of my time, or cost-efficient, and proved tough to sustainat the necessary level without a realdistribution network."Allen Susser's first foray into the food-manufacturing business began in 1995when he started bottling mango ketchup,a customer favorite at Chef Allen's, hispopular Miami restaurant. "At first, I wasdoing everything myself, cooking andpacking in the restaurant kitchen," he says.Interest was strong. Other condiments,dressings and marinades were addedto the product line. "I spent $80,000-$100,000 to take the next step, movingthe operation to rented space at a smallproduction facility."He sold most of the line to the co-packer. The products are available at therestaurant and via a link on the website,and he also sells them at his cookingclasses, food festivals and events whereChef Cube handles the packing andpackaging in shrink-wrapped custom-cut boxes, currently producing 10,000-12,000 units annually. Evans buys the setswholesale, determines the retail price, sellsthem at the restaurants and gives themaway as thank-yous. But five years into it,he's rethinking the details.
"The steak and pork crusts are very popular,and will be available in plastic pints, too,"says Evans. "The blackening and barbecuedusts are not a hit, so Dion and I areworking on replacements." And, he sees awhole new way to leverage the products'Susser set up a separate company for whathad become a cottage industry, and joinedforces with a co-packer while continuingto be involved in everything from qualitycontrol to label design. But unable tobenefit from economies of scale, it wasn'tpossible to generate sufficient revenue.After a few years, he decided to scale back.

Hello there!
My name is Toño, and I have already been at SevenClick's office for more than five months, where I have learnt a lot about mobile technologies and developing proccesses, and where my work mainly consisted of developing native apps for the iPhone, while trying to acquire some knowledge from the work of my mates in some other platforms, like Windows Mobile, Blackberry or Android.
Some weeks ago, I received good news from the company, cause I was told SevenClick wanted me to continue here. So, as I wanted the same thing, I've definitively joined the company. I'd like to thank all my workmates for the environment which has been created here, which helps a lot in enjoying the work we do, and specially Daniel and Jose Manuel for the confidence they put in me.
My goals for the inmediate future are simple, doing my best for helping the company in keeping its unstoppable growth, and becoming the official after-lunch drummer. I had another dream for some weeks, but I've finally discarded it cause I consider it near impossible. It was being defeated, just once, in any Pro Evolution Soccer game, but no such a thing was near to happen here until now
Dissapointing, I know, but at least this lines will be surrounded by a beautiful green, which fits, of course, the corporative color.
Seriously, thanks to everybody again, and I hope this will be the first (in fact, it's not the first, but that's another long story) of a series of emblematic posts.

I'm currently reading a book about the Chicago World's Fair and one of the first prominent American serial killers, who operated during said fair. Next, I'm going to read a book about failed civilizations and cultures.
I feel like people might get the wrong idea about me based on my reading list…
The Devil in the White City is one of my favorite books of all time. After I finished that, I read about the building of the Eiffel Tower in a book by Jill Jonnes.

Version 4.1, problem persists. It takes too long, and frequently crashes/stops respondins
I'll test it too tomorow, but it worked ok for me with a production db oracle 10g.
I see the same problem with Oracle 11 through jdbc.
This issue makes the product unusable for me.
I start to like TOS but I find it unacceptable that extracting schema is slow and buggy to say the least. Sometimes the Schema Wizard is not showing table filtering and goes straight to the last stage of the schema retrieval process. Updating a schema takes more than 15 minutes to show the refreshed table schema.
Sometimes it says it is not connected to the database (network adapter failure) during the schema extraction operation. I then simply fire-up a job that targets the same schema/db (Oracle 10g) and go back to the Schema Wizard and then it works!
The last thing I want is to wait forever to retrieve a simple schema with 5 tables in it! This is the starting point of any design jobs and it is very frustrating to sit and wait or sometimes to repeat manual operations in order to have the filter table screen to finally show-up. Development cannot start until the needed schema are loaded!!! Me and my customers are all loosing time and money waiting for this simple operation to work properly.
Hope this gets fix pretty soon since it is so frustrating.
