One person who isn't keeping up with the Kardashians is the Game. The rapper is going on the record to officially state that he is not seeing Khloe Kardashian Odom, despite persisting rumors.
TMZ reports that rumors swirled that the very married Khloe was spotted hugged up on the Compton rapper. "She is like a sister. We have never and will never be sleeping together. Lamar is my homie and her husband and I wish people wouldn't spread such false rumors," said Game.
According to him, the sightings at L.A.'s Runyon Canyon Park last month were just workout sessions where Game's been doing a "60 Days of Fitness" program.
The Game himself was recently in a longtime relationship with Tiffney Cambridge whom fans saw on "Marrying The Game." The duo went through relationship struggles on the show and never ended up tying the knot. The rapper told MTV News last year, that his lady did not approve of his occupation choice. "She would rather me be a fireman, even if I had to go sleep at the firehouse three nights a week. She's rather me be a policeman, even if it means I might die every night I go out to work. She'd rather me be a trash man, even if it meant picking up sh-- and shoveling dirt all day, than a rapper."

Originally posted February 27, 1999
With all of the WWE travel problems this past week, I thought it would be fun to dig back into my archives and find some old commentaries where I wrote about my own travel nightmares over the years. Enjoy!
I guess I should start by saying, yes the rumors are true, the Impact Players lost the World Tag Team Titles this past weekend in Ohio. I won't get into any details, as it was a match taped for TV, so you will be able to see it for yourself this week.
I thought this week I would give everyone a little look into "Life on the Road". I get a lot of people asking what being on the road is like. I even had a reporter of some kind ask if he could travel with us once to do a "Day in the Life" type story, so this is a look at this past weekend in Ohio.
We only had a 2-day loop this weekend, so it was a short easy trip, sort of. With there only being 2 shots, I understand it's hard to book the towns in a loop shape, but our beloved Greg Bag of Doughnuts strikes again. The 2 towns we ran this week were Toledo and Cincinnati. For those of you, like Greg, who aren't geography majors, Toledo and Cincinnati are about as far apart as any 2 cities in Ohio can be. Toledo is on the northern most edge, and Cincinnati is so far south that its' airport is actually in Kentucky. With the shots being over 200 miles apart, we find ourselves, yet again, faced with a rental car drop charge. Another weekend off to an excellent start.
My weekend started later than usual, as my morning flight out wasn't until 9:40 am. At 6:30am I start my day, shower, have breakfast and head to the airport. After Park and Jet, check in, clearing customs, and boarding, I settle in to my inadequately sized seat. Due to the fact that I fly often, and I'm extremely sleep deprived, I lower my head and fall asleep well before the safety presentation, which by the way I now know far better than any flight attendant. After a bit of commotion I wake to realize we are still at the gate, I look at my watch to see that despite being asleep for over 30 minutes, we haven't moved. This doesn't surprise me much as I'm sitting on an American Airlines flight, which my experience as a frequent flier has taught me is one of the worst airlines for delays, either mechanical or otherwise. As the rest of the passengers complain about the inconvenience I go back to sleep.
Upon landing in Chicago I realize that our delay has left me, as well as many others, with a very tight connection. As other passengers panic and rush, I wander to my next gate secure in the knowledge that my connecting flight is also on American, so it probably won't be on time either. I arrive pleasantly surprised to see them boarding on time. Please don't be fooled by the on time boarding, we were, yet again, delayed and I arrived in Toledo at 5:25 pm, 40 min. behind schedule. After claiming my bags and picking up the rental car, I have just enough time to grab some quick drive-thru and hit the building. What "Drive-Thru?" you ask. Yes even on my strict diet, I must sometimes eat drive-thru. On these sad occasions I usually hit Wendy's for a couple grilled chicken sandwiches PLAIN, only the chicken and the bun. It's nothing fancy, but since I haven't had anything, but protein bars, since 6:30 am they are a welcome sight.
At the show, I say hi to everyone, find my own little piece of the locker room, relax and eat my chicken sandwiches. Once the line up is up, I get dressed put some thought into my match and get ready to work. After my match I thank everyone involved. We exchange compliments and criticisms where appropriate, in an effort to improve for next time, and hit the showers.
After the show it's about 12:00 am and we're (Justin and I) back in the car for another couple hours to the hotel. It ended up taking 3 ˝ hours as we had the misfortune of stopping at, Jerry Lynn's least favorite restaurant, Denny's. I've come up with a slogan for the miserable experience of eating at Denny's. I'm forced to remind Jerry of it every time we eat there. "Come on it's Denny's, it's not like you expected to leave happy!" This place was bad, even by Denny's standards. It took us 26 min. to get our drink order our sloth like bus boy took, literally, 1 min. to pass out straws. After an hour and a half we left Denny's, if nothing else, a little fuller than when we went in. At 3:30 am we checked into our hotel and passed out.
Up at noon, check out and hit, my all time favorite restaurant, Cracker Barrel. I love this place so much I have a map of all their locations in my bag, so we can always find one. After breakfast, it's back in the car for another hour and a half. Once in Cincinnati we swing by the hotel to pick up Cyrus. He's only in for Saturday, partly because he only does TV and partly because I can't stand him for more than 1 day a week. Cyrus is hungry so we hit, yet another, Cracker Barrel.
Since this show is TV, we arrive quite early, around 5:00 pm. We greet everyone again, find a spot for our stuff and go check out the building. Before the show I usually talk with Paul. He likes to hear my feed back on his ideas for the night, and I greatly appreciate the fact he values my opinion. Once we finalize what we are doing, it's time to get dressed and prepare for another hot night of TV. At least that's the goal, we don't always achieve it, but we do more often than not. Once the show is over the fun is just getting started. After the show we tape promos, all the interviews and angles, anything that doesn't take place in the ring. This quite often runs us till 5:00 am, depending on how many we have to due and how many takes we do. I'm usually one of the last promos of the night. I think it's because Paul likes seeing Dawn Marie walk around in her little ring outfit all night. Not that I blame him, and if he doesn't, I do. Usually Justin and I are pretty good and don't take many takes. This night in Cincinnati, I hit one of the best promos of my life in 1 take, and we were off to the hotel by 2:30 am. After drive-thru at Steak and Shake, we were at the hotel and in bed by 3:30am.
Up at 8:30 am, return the rental car and check in for another eventful day with American Airlines. I won't bore you with the details of my flight home, but rest assured both of my flights were delayed. I arrive in Calgary at 3:20 pm about 55 min. late and after customs and park and jet, I arrived home around 4:45 pm. Exhausted and limping, I'm greeted by my loving wife with instruction to go play in the snow with my daughter in the back yard till supper is ready. Despite wanting to put my foot down and being the heel, I do as I'm told. After all, I can't say no to my daughter and if I say no to my tired and pregnant wife, I will no doubt start a fight I will definitely do the job in.
Looking back, I think we should be called professional travelers instead of professional wrestlers. I spent over 25 hours in transit, to perform 2 matches totaling approximately 25 min. I hope you guys enjoyed them.
Till next week,
Lance Storm

Platyhelminthes plăt˝ēhĕlmĭn´thēz [key], phylum containing about 20,000 species of soft-bodied, bilaterally symmetrical, invertebrate animals, commonly called flatworms. There are four classes: the free-living, primarily aquatic class, Turbellaria, and Trematoda, Cestoda, and Monogenea, which are considerably modified for their exclusively parasitic existence. While the structure of the flatworms marks a major step in animal evolution, their origin and relationships within the group are still controversial.

Bono addressed many of the world's top technology entrepreneurs at the Founders conference in Dublin's Mansion House on Friday.
According to the Irish Times, the U2 frontman, spoke about his charity One International, an organization that fights extreme poverty and preventable disease, and compared aid for struggling economies to start-up funding.
Appearing onstage with the charity's executive director, Jamie Drummond, Bono discussed the campaign and the many ways technology has empowered people around the world.
"The 21st century began last year in Tahrir Square, where the model of power over the millennia – the pyramid – was inverted. You have this incredible thing that technologists have known for years: the network effect," he said. "Received wisdom is not going over very well. Everything has changed ... The more of it that is available, the easier our job."
The invite-only, two-day event, nicknamed "Davos for Geeks," is limited to 200 of the most influential tech leaders and special guests, who discuss the future of the web, technology, the economy, politics and revolution.
The former president of Harvard was also in attendance and was asked about his dismissive remarks about the Winkelvoss twins, who are famous for suing Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for allegedly stealing their idea for a social network.
"You learn some things as a university president. One of the things you learn is that if undergraduates are wearing a suit and tie at 4 o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon, there are two possibilities. One is that they've got a job interview; the other is that there's something a bit off about them. The Winklevosses did not have a job interview that afternoon."

Texas A&M International University's College of Business Administration has once again been named an outstanding business school in The Princeton Review's "Best 282 Business Schools," 2007 Edition, and was ranked third in the nation for the category: "Greatest Opportunity for Minority Students."
The rank is based on the Review's surveys of 18,000 students attending the 282 business schools profiled in the books and on institutional data from the schools. The survey asked students 80 questions about themselves, their career plans and their school's academics, student body and campus life.
Dr. Jacky Yuk-Chow So, dean of the College of Business Administration, said the latest honor accorded the College is a testament to the College's faculty and students.
"We are pleased that our efforts are being nationally recognized. Our gifted faculty works diligently with our students, whose dedication to their classwork is most impressive. Together, they are charting a new global approach to business education, research and service that will well-prepare our graduates for tremendous futures," Dr. So said.
Robert Franek, vice president of publishing for the Review, explained the importance of inclusion in "Best 282 Business Schools."
"We chose schools for this book based on our high regard for their academic programs and offerings, institutional data we collect from the schools, and the candid opinions of students attending them who rate and report their campus experiences at the schools. We are pleased to recommend TAMIU's College of Business Administration to readers of our book and users of our Web site as one of the best institutions they could attend to earn an MBA," Franek wrote the University.
A two-page profile of the University in the New York-based education services company's recently released edition notes that the strong international focus of the program "gives students the opportunity to immerse themselves in an international environment in which we can analyze situations of different countries. The diversity of the student body helps."
Students also praise the "extremely optimistic" professors who "honestly care about their students and are always willing to offer a helping hand" and who "acknowledge that the majority of the class works full-time and also goes to school, so they make the assignments challenging, but not impossible."
Students point out that "the small size of the program is a great strength because the student population is not big, so there is enough opportunity to interact with your professors and get to know everyone in your college."
One student wrote, "Teachers are very good and highly cooperative, with great academic ability. They have the knowledge to impart, help the students and, offer their valuable suggestions to give their further course of action."
Students also report "seminars provided by the school are good. Many important speakers visit the campus to deliver inspirational speeches on important current topics, including politics, finance, economics and health."
The profile also includes a "Survey Says" sidebar that TAMIU students surveyed for the book were in most agreement about. It includes "friendly students," "happy students," "smart classrooms" and "solid preparation in finance, general management and teamwork."
In the ranked category of "Greatest Opportunity for Minority Students," TAMIU out-ranked the University of Texas at San Antonio. Ahead of TAMIU were Howard University in Washington, D.C., and University of Houston-Victoria.
The book has 11 ranking lists of the top 10 business schools in various categories.
TAMIU's AACSB-accredited College of Business Administration offers an MBA, an MBA in International Banking (MBA-IBK), an MBA in International Trade (MBA-IT), a Master of Professional Accountancy (MPAcc), a Master of Science in International Logistics (MS-IL), a Master of Science in Information Systems (MS-IS) and a Doctorate in International Business Administration (Ph.D.-IB).

"Best 282 Business Schools" is one of more than 200 Princeton Review books published by Random House. The line also includes "Best 170 Law Schools" and an annual guide to the best medical schools. The company is not affiliated with Princeton University.

text: 6 days ago I became aware of what I thought was a "floater" in my left eye. I had Crystalens IOLs placed in both eyes in June of last year. The left eye was corrected to monovision. I have been extremely happy with them but then noticed I could see what I think is the hinge of the IOL in the left eye, left side. It has not affected my vision except for the distraction of it opening and closing. We have been on vacation and just got back and cannot contact my doctor till Monday. Is this common or even possible? If so, what to do? Thanks for your answer.

AMSTERDAM, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Dutch speciality chemicals company DSM on Thursday said higher sales and tighter cost controls helped third-quarter core profit rise 13 percent, to 365 million euros ($425.3 million).
Analysts polled by Reuters on average expected adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of 352 million euros. Sales of 2.1 billion euros were in line with expectations. ($1 = 0.8582 euros) (Reporting by Bart Meijer; Editing by Amrutha Gayathri)

The Oz Machine uses a Markov chain simulation to generate the synthetic sequence of lithologies. The first (lowermost) lithology in the sequence is selected at random from the set of possible lithologies. Then the lithology for the next half-foot interval up is selected according to a set of "transition probabilities" describing the likelihood that any given lithology will occur immediately above the first lithology generated. This process is repeated for each half-foot interval until the entire column is filled with assigned lithologies.
The transition probabilities are stored in a transition probability matrix, where the entry in row i, column j represents the probability that facies j will occur above facies i. The structure of the transition probability matrix is shown below, with the filled cells representing non-zero probabilities:
The Oz Machine transition probability matrix is subdivided into three major regions:
The transition probabilities of the "portal states" of dolomitic shale which links Playaworld with Marineworld, and sandy shale which links Marineworld with Deltaworld controls the typical duration of a succession within each facies domain.
The main diagonal values (transitions of a state to itself) control the thickness distribution of lithologies. Inevitably, the thickness variability will be artificial, because the probability model dictates a geometric distribution, while the observed distributions are more closely matched by a lognormal distribution. However, this aberration is not noticeable on the relatively short sequences generated by the machine.
The transition probability values are arbitrary but judiciously chosen to generate sequences that conform reasonably with natural stratigraphic successions. The sequences are perhaps a little more accelerated than their real equivalents, by presenting more lithological variability over relatively short intervals rather than the common real-world experience of monotonous lithological repetition. However, the purpose of the simulator is to provide training in log interpretation and this aim is aided by accentuating the challenge.
Each lithology consists of a specified mix of component minerals and the log responses for each half-foot interval are computed as a combination of the log values associated with the component minerals (with a little random deviation from the ideal "recipe" thrown in at each step). The logs are also smoothed with a simple five-point filter to emulate the vertical averaging provided by actual logging tools.

Powers off randomly; hangs on AHT!
So a client brought in their iMac to my shop for the symptom of randomly powering off whenever it wanted to. I ran it on my bench for 24 hours with no problem, unable to duplicate their issue. They also brought in a second iMac that I was instructed to migrate data from (to the one with random power issues once I fixed it).
Well long story short, the first imac with power issues refused to connect through migration assistant to the other imac (even through firewire) and I was unable to get finder to run without crashing. So I booted into AHT and it started the pre-test hardware probe (which is required before a test can even be ran) and it just HANGS. Also it has powered off for me a couple of times now (before running AHT) and when I tried to power it back on I either got a forever pinwheel or a blue screen with no icons but a mouse pointer.
The "probing your hardware, this may take a minute" message has been running now for over an hour (hasnt powered off again yet) and I am thinking that either the motherboard is bad or the CPU is bad.
Any thoughts?
Is this a good question?

Doyle, Carpino Visit Cromwell Farms
Cromwell—State Senator Paul Doyle and State Representative Christie Carpino recently toured Prides Corner Farm and Garden's Dream where they discussed the legislative landscape impacting the farming community in Connecticut. Prides Corner Farms is a regional grower throughout New England, offering over 2,200 varieties of plants. Garden's Dream offers annuals, perennials, shrubs and naturally grown vegetable and herb plants. Both farms acquired their land in Cromwell from the Millane family.
"It was my pleasure to tour two agribusinesses in Cromwell—Prides Corner and Garden's Dream. I am pleased that these two new businesses came into Cromwell to preserve a longstanding business location. As Millane Nurseries provided much for the residents of the Greater Cromwell area, I hope that Prides Corner and Garden's Dream will continue Millane's great legacy for many years to come. Best of luck with your new businesses," said Sen. Doyle.
"The Millane family has shown their dedication to sustainable agriculture in our state by arranging for Prides Corner and Garden's Dream to come to Cromwell. Agriculture is an important economic driver and adds to our quality of life in Connecticut. I'd like to welcome both of these new businesses and wish them many years of great success," said Rep. Carpino.

Moq7 is the world's first discount preseller of next generation products.
They offer to help manufacturers meet their concept product MOQ's (Minimum Order Quantity) by offering consumers the opportunity to pre-order next generation goods at closeout prices in a concerted effort to boost innovation.
MOQ7 presell items prior to production to help manufacturers raise the start-up capital they need to produce the item. The sale price is further reduced for buyers to reward them for placing orders prior to production.
In addition to great buys on tomorrow's innovative goods, the manufacturers sometimes offer to pay buyers a percentage of profits, called a dividend, in exchange for helping them raise the start-up capital they need to begin production. Buyers can choose to have their dividends paid directly to the charity of their choice.
All money is refunded should they fail to meet the manufacturer's MOQ. The numbers of units sold and the respective MOQ's are listed with each concept product on this website.
So, in short, you can buy innovative products dirt cheap to help the designers get them to market, and if they do not make it to market, you get your money back…..
Hopefully that is not the case with uber cool products like the Cash Money Clip, Off Light Switch Hook and Brush and Rinse.
If you have a product you think may work on Moq7 submit your concept for consideration here.
Oh yeah, in the FAQ's
What's with the name – Moq7?
MOQ is for Minimum Order Quantity and the 7 is for luck. Moq7 (Mach 7) is real fast.

Mastering Final Cut Pro 6
Many of you have waited in serious anticipation
for this cutting edge training series – and not
it's here.
When I began my journey in Final Cut years ago,
I wished I had a training series like this one to
jump start me into the editing world. If I had some
sort of training course to teach me Final Cut I would
have saved myself hours of troubleshooting, guessing,
and wasting time looking for answers to all my questions.
The problem was other Final Cut training courses cost
anywhere from $120 to $500 and that was simply out
of my budget.
Training Thousand of People
So that's why I started FinalCutKing.com in 2008, to help people learn more about Final Cut Studio.
I've created a two disc training series that includes everything you need to know about Final Cut 6.
In this training series I teach the simple and complex editing techniques with step-by-step tutorials. All
the videos are HD, so you can see everything on my screen to the pixel. I also include some of the
video footage that I use in the tutorials so you can follow alonge with me while I teach.
After watching a lot of the other training for Final Cut that is available; I really believe that this training
course is one of the very best. You should be able to learn Final Cut at your own pace so you

On Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Valeriya in sunny Amsterdam. Actually, it wasn't sunny at all. Amsterdam was cold and grey and windy and on occasion even provided us with the wonderful bonus of rain.
Thankfully, we managed to create some bright sunny images anyway. When you are warm on the inside, who needs the sun!

It's true. Call the presses. I'm trying to eat more healthy. And that is the reason for my posts today. So, instead of treating myself at the end of a long day with ice cream or cookies, I've been treating myself with strawberries. We are blessed to live near some farms, so there's a guy with a small stand (okay the back of his truck) that sells flats of freshly picked strawberries.
I love eating them just whole...so yummy. But lots of strawberries means...lots of strawberry baskets. I feel bad throwing these things away...I'm sure I can do something useful with them. So much to my hubbie's chagrin, I saved a few. I found some mini binder clips (and if you're looking for a post solely about binder clips, click here) and decided to attach all the strawberry baskets together. I then found a few different ways I could use them.
|You can use it as an organizer for craft time with the kids!
|We made a game. They had three tries and they tried to get the most points. This version helped with their adding of fractions.
-Put letters on the papers at the bottom and when your ball lands on a letter, you have to say a word that starts with that letter, but no repeats.
-If you have a deck of cards, you can give each person a different suit and you can try throwing your cards in the baskets to see who gets the most points.
-If you lead the kids music at church, a song can be under each of the papers and the kids can try to throw a bean bag in there.
Anyway, you get the idea.
Because of previously stated attempt at eating healthier, I discovered that you can make your own potato chips in the microwave. You probably already knew this...but I didn't and I love potato chips so I love this.
|With a mandolin slicer, thinly slice the potato.
|Kinda' like so
|Then with the olive oil cooking spray, lightly coat the potato slices and the microwaveable plate. Place slices on plate.
|Microwave for 3 minutes first, check on them. They should be like this, lightly brown. I cooked these for a total of 6 minutes. Make sure you use hot pads to take that plate out of the microwave.
|I like to put mine on a cookie rack to cool and crisp. Plus, I'm using the plate to make the rest of my chips.

Hello World,
This article is kinda exciting for me; because once you can internalize how this works, the world really becomes your oyster as far as what you can model with what kind of data. In this example we are going to take some sample images and some random vector features and merge them together. In a more realistic example you may take something like an image as well as some contextual tabular data and want to merge those two data sets together into a single prediction.
CNTK vs TensorFlow
First some general notes here. I've been an avid user of Tensor Flow; but moving back towards CNTK a bit now that it has gone to general availability along with several things being fixed. CNTK is shaping up to become the superior framework between those two options. It really boils down to the data deserializers, data composability and the simplicity of rehydrating models for inference in a production ecosystem. CNTK scores superior on all of those fronts as well as performance. The learning curve from Tensor Flow to CNTK was pretty simple; I was up and running in about 2 days. CNTK's apis and such are a bit easier to deal with; but structurally they are very similar as far as what they do.
Download the Full Sample
I know this can be a bit of a tricky topic, so the sample can be downloaded from here as a python notebook. You can download the full data, code, label files etc from here. Since I am providing a full sample, in this article we will just focus on the key items in this sample around the merging, modelling and predictions.
The Label Files
So we compose two label files together. The first is an image map file and the second is a text file. The reason we split into two files is because the ImageDeserializer has a ton of great transforms you can apply. This allows you to more easily and quickly experiment with image sizes, as well as adjunct your data size through random cropping, shearing etc which is made available through the transforms in a Keras like fashion.
The Image Map File
Basically we just want the location of the image. We have a 'fake' class here simply because it is required. Just make sure your location is right. Notice in this file we use relative pathing. This is relative to the execution of the CNTK program. Alternatively, you can also provide fully qualified paths such as: C:\projects\samples\CNTK_CompositeReader\images\image1.png
images\image1.png 0 images\image2.png 0 images\image3.png 0 images\image4.png 0
The CTF Map File
This file contains a one hot encoding feature of 'something' with 3 categories in it as our tabular feature and a complex regression label corresponding to output nodes 0, 1, 2 and 3. You would use this type of label for anything that requires multiple predictions from a single pass. I personally have mostly done this for robotic controls; but perhaps you want to predict the price of 2 or 3 things simultaneously or whatever (who knows what you want to do).
|features 0 0 1 |label 1 2 3 4 |features 0 0 1 |label 1 2 3 4 |features 0 1 0 |label 4 3 2 1 |features 0 1 0 |label 4 3 2 1
Multiple Input Variables
# Define the data dimensions num_channels = 3 image_width = 32 image_height = 32 input_conv_model_shape = (num_channels, image_width, image_height) # images are 32 x 32 with 3 channels of color conv_model_num_features = 32 input_tab_features = 3 num_regression_outputs = 4 x_i = C.input_variable(input_conv_model_shape) x_t = C.input_variable(input_tab_features) y = C.input_variable(num_regression_outputs)
Here we simply define some data shapes. Our image shapes here are flexible as is conv_model_num_features (which is the number of features outputted by the conv net.). The input_tab_features corresponds to the size 3 vector in our CTF file under features and num_regression_outputs corresponds to the 4 output nodes defined in our CTF file under label.
Data Reader Definition
# Read a COMPOSITE reader to read data from both the image map and CTF files def create_reader(map_file, ctf_file, is_training, num_regression_outputs): # create transforms transforms = [] # train uses data augmentation (translation only) if is_training: transforms += [ xforms.crop(crop_type='randomside', side_ratio=0.8) ] transforms += [ xforms.scale(width=image_width, height=image_height, channels=num_channels, interpolations='linear')] # create IMAGE DESERIALIZER for map file feature_source = C.io.ImageDeserializer(map_file, C.io.StreamDefs( features_image = C.io.StreamDef(field='image', transforms=transforms))) # create CTF DESERIALIZER for CTF file label_source = C.io.CTFDeserializer(ctf_file, C.io.StreamDefs( labels = C.io.StreamDef(field="label", shape=num_regression_outputs, is_sparse=False), features_tabular = C.io.StreamDef(field="features", shape=3))) # create a minibatch source by compositing them together return C.io.MinibatchSource([feature_source, label_source], max_samples=sys.maxsize, randomize=is_training)
Here you can see we create two data deserializers and specifically name variables to features_image, features_tabular and labels. We then return the deserializer sources. These sources is where we will extract our mini batch data and push into x_i as well as x_t.
Model Definition
# function to build model def create_model(x_i, x_t): with C.layers.default_options(init = C.layers.glorot_uniform(), activation = C.relu): h = x_i h = C.layers.Convolution2D(filter_shape=(5,5), num_filters=8, strides=(1,1), pad=True, name="first_conv")(h) h = C.layers.MaxPooling(filter_shape=(2,2), strides=(2,2), name="first_max")(h) h = C.layers.Convolution2D(filter_shape=(5,5), num_filters=16, strides=(1,1), pad=True, name="second_conv")(h) h = C.layers.MaxPooling(filter_shape=(3,3), strides=(3,3), name="second_max")(h) # create a feature map h = C.layers.Dense(conv_model_num_features, name="feature_map")(h) #merge the convolutional feature map with raw tabular data h = C.splice(h, x_t, axis=0) #mix up the data in a dense output sequence h = C.layers.Dense(conv_model_num_features, name="merged_dense_1")(h) p = C.layers.Dense(num_regression_outputs, activation = None, name="prediction")(h) return p
Here you can see we take in x_i and x_t (image and tabular respectively). We push the image through a conv-net and then the dense layer produces a feature map which is then spliced with the tabular data. This then goes through a dense stack to produce the regressor outputs. This allows us to use the correct type of network with the right type of data to then produce a feature map which is then able to be spliced together to produce an output which has taken into consideration all data available.
Loss & Error Functions
def create_criterion_function(model, labels): loss = C.losses.squared_error(model, labels) errs = loss return loss, errs # (model, labels) -> (loss, error metric)
Here we use squared_error as our loss and error functions. This is because we are producing a regressor as opposed to a classifier. Otherwise we would use cross_entropy (possibly with softmax).
Input Maps
# Map the data streams to the input and labels. input_map={ y : train_reader.streams.labels, x_i : train_reader.streams.features_image, x_t : train_reader.streams.features_tabular }
Here you can see we are mapping x_i and x_t from the readers within the train_test function. Specifically we are calling out the specific name returned by each of the deserializers for labels, features_image and features_tabular. We need to do this for the test reader streams as well as the train reader streams.
Execute the Train and Test Loop
z = create_model(x_i, x_t) reader_train = create_reader("train.map", "train.ctf", True, num_regression_outputs) reader_test = create_reader("test.map", "test.ctf", False, num_regression_outputs) train_test(reader_train, reader_test)
Notice we pass both x_i and x_t (our place holder variables) into the model. We then create our readers for training and testing and finally call the train_test loop.
data= {Input('Input3', [#], [3 x 32 x 32]): MinibatchData(data=Value([64 x 1 x 3 x 32 x 32], GPU), samples=64, seqs=64), Input('Input5', [#], [4]): MinibatchData(data=Value([64 x 1 x 4], GPU), samples=64, seqs=64), Input('Input4', [#], [3]): MinibatchData(data=Value([64 x 1 x 3], GPU), samples=64, seqs=64)} Minibatch: 0, Loss: 8025.0112, Error: 802501.12% Minibatch: 500, Loss: 27.8553, Error: 2785.53% Minibatch: 1000, Loss: 26.5268, Error: 2652.68% Minibatch: 1500, Loss: 25.2454, Error: 2524.54% Minibatch: 2000, Loss: 24.0102, Error: 2401.02% Minibatch: 2500, Loss: 22.7667, Error: 2276.67% Minibatch: 3000, Loss: 21.5771, Error: 2157.71%
Alright, so its training and learning! WOO HOO! Specifically notice our input shapes. we have an image 3x32x32, we also have a shape 4 and a shape 3 (our label and our tabular data).
So there you go. How you can use CNTK to do some sophisticated modelling using neural networks on extremely large data sets using as many GPUs as you want to produce complex outputs. Understanding those data input pipelines is really the most complex part of anything. And its great to see how clean CNTK makes the data pipeline for large data sets.

So I've been going to shows for a long time but for the past bit I've been missing out on shows. Not because of the sell out shows but more because it's become pricey to get tickets. I remember when $20-$25 not so long ago was the standard, and I was still fine when front was $35. But now it's almost what we would pay for the two day shows. That and aside from talent changing that's all that's pretty much has changed. So why the increase?
Trust me, no one understands more than I do about inflation but at the rate it's going, the increase is breaking the bank. I mean we go, pay tickets, sometimes tickets for more than one person, add drinks, merchandise, gas, some get hotel rooms, some fly. Add all that up and it's a pretty penny. $45 front row which is about a few feet from the ring and $35 is almost more than most other places I have been lately and this includes concerts, parties, other sporting events and even most dinners for two. Still not much has changed aside from new faces.
Now no one knows how much I do love this company, in fact it's pretty much no question that I do. But what worries me is it is beginning to reach further into pockets than most have today during tough times. I mean I've dropped probably literally thousands myself throughout the years but it wasn't as complicated as things are now. I just really want to know why so much and not have a larger place then. A better sound system that won't cut out, and other stuff. Then I could maybe see the reasoning but I have yet to see something like that. I used to go because it was affordable and it offered a great product all the time without stressing the old wallet. Now it's decisions, decisions.
As a fan it worries me because some of the diehards, we're all not made of money. Hell there were times all I had was enough for a ticket or a good friend would buy one for me. But as it goes up it makes it more difficult to enjoy the little things. If I had the money of course I'd gladly say hey I'd pay anything to go but I'm a realist. With tougher times coming ahead, it worries me that even more will begin to sort of see that and it will detour others and things will begin to drop or lack. I'd honestly hate to see that. I've loved PWG for a long time, I've introduced friends, family and even made new friends. So to me this is something a little close to the heart.

The Maryland Board of Public Works has awarded to a Frederick company a $3.9 million contract to build the new Washington County District Court, Gov. Parris N. Glendening announced Wednesday.
The contract went to Waynesboro Construction Co. Inc., the lowest of six bidders.
Construction on the two-story building is expected to begin this spring and finish by October 2000, according to a news release from the governor's office.
The new 27,240-square-foot court building will be at West Antietam and South Potomac streets. It will have two courtrooms, judges' chambers, commissioners' offices, clerical space, state's attorney's offices and public defender offices, the release said. Plans call for a separate entrance for detainees.
The Board of Public Works voted in December 1997 to spend $390,000 to purchase from developer Vincent Groh the land where the courthouse will be built. The former four-story Brandt Cabinet warehouse was located there.

This story takes place in a world I first ran into in the December 2013 issue of ANALOG's sister magazine, ASIMOV'S. That story had the intriguing, fascinating, and doubtless clumsy-title-in-English, "The Pearl Rehabilitative Colony for Ungrateful Daughters":
The ANALOG story seems to take place in the same, though earlier Chinese dynasty-derived world that the ASIMOV'S story does. While on reviewer seemed to think that "The Great Leap of Shin" took place on Earth in some ancient historical past, for whatever reason both stories felt to me as if they took place elsewhere in space.
I can't tell you for sure what the author Henry Lien intended, but I do have evidence. In "Leap", Master Tian-Tai, a boy from the island of Pearl, arrives in the Imperial Palace just as the master of the Great Leap, the Eunuch Mu Hai-Chen arrives as well. Tian-Tai and his partners, martial arts skaters, ask to perform for the Eunuch as a plea to save their island from the earthquake the Eunuch has planned to initiate to prevent a larger earthquake that would level the Imperial city.
The Eunuch, unafraid of a bunch of kids, agrees to let them try.
In order to do so, Tian-Tai has brought his skating rink with him. The Pearl islanders do NOT skate on frozen water! They skate on a living substance reminiscent of an oyster's pearl: "...looked like milk, smelled like brine...Looked like smooth tofu or sheets of milky liquid silk…Heard liquid crisp into solid as skates ran over it. Not cold or wet. Smooth like glass. Or like firm white of an eye. Pressed long nail into it hard, drew line in it, smoothed and healed itself instantly…We told him that the pearl came from spiders. We did not want to tell him that it came from the seas surrounding the island of Pearl because we did not want to give Shin one more reason to try and invade Pearl…The pearl felt alive under my slippers, bounced my foot up with each step I took off it."
While it may be that this substance exists on Earth, the story took me to another world, colonized by descendants of Chinese explorers. This isn't impossible as China has a viable space program – as well as the person-power, the drive, and the push to do something like this.
At any rate, the atmosphere of the story is its greatest strength. Even if it does take place on Earth, the writer evokes a sense of place deeply alien to me. The characters of the children from Pearl and the Emperor's Eunuch seem at first unlikely participants, but as I read, I could see that they were the ONLY characters able to tell this small slice of this much larger – one might say "operatic" – story.
Lien accomplished for me what every writer should seek to do: he took me from this world of the mundane and catapulted me into another world – and for me, onto another planet. If you can find the ASIMOV'S story, read that as well, but if you can only read this one, do. You'll find yourself transported to another world.
(From brief correspondence with Mr. Lien, I know he's at work/recently completed a novel set here. I for one, cannot wait to read it!)

ASI shot dead by militants in Pulwama
Two days after the United Jehad Council (UJC) called for a boycott of the 2014 assembly elections, militants struck in south Kashmir's Pulwama district on Friday and killed a cop.india Updated: May 10, 2013 19:48 IST
Two days after the United Jehad Council (UJC) called for a boycott of the 2014 assembly elections, militants struck in south Kashmir's Pulwama district on Friday and killed a cop.
Assistant sub-inspector Farooq Ahmad Sheikh was performing duty near Rajpora Chowk in Pulwama district, 45 km south of Srinagar, when suspected militants fired at him from pointblank range around 2 pm.
"Sheikh was immediately shifted to hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries," said a police spokesman in Srinagar.
A disturbing trend is emerging for the Jammu and Kashmir police this year. Most attacks carried out by militants have been on them.
Friday's attack has taken the total toll of cop killing for this year to seven, the highest compared to the toll of the last year for the same period.
On March 2, two cops were killed in north Kashmir's Handwara district and on April 26 four cops were killed in an ambush in north Kashmir's Hygam area.
The largest indigenous group Hizbul Mujahideen rewarded the militants with Rs 5 lakh for the Hygam attack and pledged to carry out more attacks.
With local police taking a leading role in the counter-insurgency, the militants have shifted its focus too. More than half a dozen attacks this year were on the police, while the BSF and the CRPF faced only two attacks this year.
"There have always been attacks on the local police. Since 2006, there has been an increase in such attacks," inspector general of police, Kashmir range, Abdul Ghani Mir told the Hindustan Times.
"Militancy is not over yet," said Mir.
According to latest police report, there are eight militants active in Pulwama, which include seven Jesh-e-Muhammad militants and one Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Friday's attack has come just two days after the UJC asked separatists to form a united front and reach out to people to ensure a poll boycott of the 2014 assembly polls, an indication that the militants will make attempts to disturb these polls.
"The treatment meted to Afzal Guru (executed for the Parliament attack) and the 'heroic' funeral to Sarabjit Singh should be an eye opener for Kashmir's mainstream politicians as it exposes the double standards of New Delhi," said UJC chief Syed Salahuddin, who also heads the Hizbul Mujahideen, on Wednesday.
He said boycott of the 2014 polls have become inevitable. "The Indian government, its judiciary and its media, all have successfully projected the participation of people in polls as a referendum for J-K's accession to India at international forums, which has definitely taken a toll on the movement," he said.
The Hizbul chief also alleged that "the panchayat members were politicised by the mainstream politicians and exposed them to risk."
