Katy Perry Rocks Boston And Sabrina Takes Some Concert Video![VIDEO]
Good times in Beantown last night!
Good times in Beantown last night!
Katy Perry is a superstar, but we haven't seen her as a superhero until now! Glamour has premiered an animated ad for Katy Perry's new perfume, Killer Queen's Royal Revolution. The cartoon is uniquely stylized and depicts Perry as a masked heroine during Medieval times who makes it her mission to save young women from an evil king.
Katy Perry debuted the first advertisement for her latest perfume, Royal Revolution, on Instagram today (July 1).
Apparently divorcing her ex-husband Russell Brand wasn't quite enough for Katy Perry. The pop star is looking to clear her marriage slate by seeking an annulment.
The 'Birthday' singer just accomplished an incredible feat -- she just became the most certified digital artist in music history, meaning that she has received more gold and platinum certifications than any other digital artist. Work it, girl!
As a follow-up to her hilariously crazy music video 'Birthday,' Katy Perry is releasing "unseen footage" from the production featuring each of her five disorderly characters. Watch the behind-the-scenes video here!
Katy Perry has done it all — she's released platinum albums, toured all over the world, debuted a big-screen movie and signature fragrance. Now, the pop star is taking on another side of the music biz with Metamorphosis Music, a joint venture record label with Capital Records.
Two police officers get their groove on in the patrol car!
Ever wonder what goes on inside of a patrol car? Apparently, a lot of jamming to pop stars like Katy Perry!
In July, Katy Perry will have the honor of being Cosmopolitan's first global cover girl. Perry will grace the covers of Cosmo around the world, including Australia, Singapore, Vietnam, Germany, UK and more.
Perry is interviewed by talk show host and comedian Chelsea Handler for the magazine, and Perry opens up about her exes, dating and her sex life.

Prohibition (2011 TV Mini-Series)
Episode List
Season 1
2 Oct. 2011A Nation of Drunkards
The 19th century was a period of growth both for alcoholic beverages and the temperance movement. Washingtonian societies - made up of men who had taken a pledge to forgo all alcoholic beverage - sprang up across the country. Women were often excluded from these groups and so formed their own. The women's crusade of 1873 was essentially a general strike by women who brought business to a halt. Their protest spread to 911 communities in 37 territories. However no laws had been changed and within a few years, saloons were back in business. In 1879, Frances E. Willard ...
3 Oct. 2011A Nation of Scofflaws
With the passing of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution, the federal government now passes legislation to enforce it. Known as the Volstead Act, the legislation forbids not only hard liquor but also beer and light wine which many legislators assumed would be exempted. Penalties as well were far harsher than many had expected. The ban on alcoholic beverages could not be complete as alcohol was required by many industrial processes. There were also exemptions for religious observances and for medicinal purposes. In fact, from the day the ban went into into effect,...
4 Oct. 2011A Nation of Hypocrites
By the mid-1920s, a great many people had become convinced that prohibition was a serious mistake. Al Smith, the Governor of New York, was unsuccessful in getting the Democratic nomination for President in 1924 but succeeded in 1928. Smith was adamant that as President, he would repeal the 18th Amendment. He was not successful in seeking the Presidency though the fact that he was a Roman Catholic likely had more to do with his defeat. While alcohol consumption continued to rise, nothing demonstrated the failure of prohibition as did the rise of organized crime and the...

The Relocation Bracket Kit is manufactured from 10-gauge steel and comes complete with hardware, wire leads and wire connectors that make it simple to install.
Mounting plates to mount the Warn Power Plant Winch onto the Modular HD Bumper system only.

The Short Base attaches quickly to the frame with two enclosed D-Ring mounting brackets. This four bolt frame mount design provides the toughest bumper attachment found anywhere while creating two overbuilt pull points. This bumper mounts close in on the frame rails, drawing the bumper closer to the body and increasing the approach angle. The narrow overall width gives enormous clearance for the front tires.

Detectives assigned to the Hannibal Police Department Narcotics Unit executed a search warrant on a home in the 500 block of Rock Street Thursday morning, March 20.
During the course of the search, substances believed to be crack cocaine and marijuana were located. Arrested at the residence were Louetta M. Dorsey, 30, of Hannibal, and Earl V. Fullenwider, 22, of Iowa. Fullenwider originally gave officers a false name. Officers later discovered who he was and that he had an active parole warrant for aggravated assault out of Illinois and an active warrant out of Iowa for robbery, first degree, with a firearm.
Both Dorsey and Fullenwider were charged with manufacturing and delivery of a controlled substance. Along with the active warrants, Fullenwider was also charged with interfering for giving a false name. Both suspects were placed in the Marion County Jail, pending warrants.

Facebook: Now More Like High School, Spammier
Facebook's new "Groups" function is already getting spam complaints.
It might not always seem like it, but Mark Zuckerberg knows what you want. For example, first you wanted to find all the people you knew online and then look at pictures of them in the privacy of your own home. Voilà, Facebook. Then you wanted to find people of whom you may have lost track — say they changed their phone number, or moved away, or had one of those hyphenated last names and then married someone else with a hyphenated last name and then who knows what they would go by. Um, have you heard of Facebook? They are probably on there. Now you want to know how to exclude the people you don't like and only talk to the people you think are cool. Zuckerberg has a solution for that, too. In a blog post yesterday entitled "Giving You More Control," he wrote that users complained about the same thing: a desire to share something on their network without having their boss or their grandparent find it. Enter Groups, a service that lets you organize your "friends" into cliques. Sorry, nerds. "It's a simple way to stay up to date with small groups of your friends and to share things with only them in a private space. The default setting is Closed, which means only members see what's going on in a group." Sounds useful, right?
The service has been out less than 24 hours and folks are already complaining. The problem is that while only members can see what's going on in a group, any of your "friends" can add you to a group without your permission and it's set to automatically e-mail everyone in the group about a new posting. So it's sort of like high school, except you're automatically opted in to join any club that would have you as a member. Sorry, Groucho.

Facing felonies, woman misses court date
BARRE A Williamstown woman missed her arraignment Thursday on felony charges she stole her brother-in-laws identity and racked up around $1,000 of debt in his name.
Debra A. Hutchings, 57, is facing charges of false pretenses and identity theft both felonies in Washington County criminal court in Barre. She was supposed to be arraigned on the charges Thursday, but Hastings did not show up.
A judicial summons was issued for her to appear at a later date. If Hutchings is convicted, she faces a maximum sentence of 13 years and a $7,000 fine.
According to the Vermont State Police affidavit, Hutchings brother-in-law, James Papineau, went to the state police in December saying Hutchings had opened up four credit cards in his name.
Papineau gave state police documentation showing electronic checks were issued in his name in the accounts totaling $1,028.29, including overdraft fees.
Papineau told state police Hutchings used a fabricated company, Papineau Meat Cutting, and her own address to open one of the accounts. Papineau said he had done some butchering in the past so he could only assume that is where Hutchings must have gotten the name, according to state police.
When questioned by state police about the accounts, Hutchings admitted to using Papineaus name, Social Security number and a date of birth exactly one year off of Papineaus in order to create the accounts. Hutchings told the state police she had fallen on difficult financial times and created the accounts so she could pay her bills. She told state police she planned to pay the bills off but things escalated and she could not pay off the debt.
State police say they received an email from Capital One, one of the banks where she allegedly opened up a fraudulent account, saying Hutchings had contacted them and had taken responsibility for the debt.MORE IN This Just InPHILADELPHIA Many delegates from Vermont arrived at the Democratic National Convention this...

For argument's sake lets assume a HTML parser.
I've read that it tokenizes everything first, and then parses it.
What does tokenize mean?
Does the parser read every character each, building up a multi dimensional array to store the structure?
For example, does it read a
< and then begin to capture the element, and then once it meets a closing
> (outside of an attribute) it is pushed onto a array stack somewhere?
I'm interested for the sake of knowing (I'm curious).
If I were to read through the source of something like HTML Purifier, would that give me a good idea of how HTML is parsed?

ST. LOUIS (AP) _ Six Ameren Corporation employees, including a company vice president, are scheduled to testify today during an
investigative hearing into the Taum Sauk reservoir collapse.
The Missouri Public Service Commission hearing in Jefferson City marks the first time Ameren officials have testified publicly before utility regulators about the 2005 collapse of the reservoir at the hydroelectric plant in southeast Missouri.
The P-S-C launched an investigation in June, after the release of a highway patrol report into the collapse. P-S-C spokesman Mark Hughes says today's hearing will begin with testimony from James Alexander, dam safety chief for the Department of Natural Resources.

Improved Harmonic+Noise Model for Vocal and Musical Instrument Sounds
The paper presents an improvement to Harmonic+Noise models for quality analysis/synthesis of vocal and monophonic music instrument sounds. So far these models were considered not to offer sufficient quality for modeling of singing voice or music instruments. The problems with HMN model are presented and it is shown that it can not handle certain specific types of music instruments as well as highly reverberant recordings. In this paper we present a new analysis method that significantly improves the HNM performance. The main difficulty in the estimation of the stochastic part of the signal is overcome using non-linear (polyspectral) methods.

Waffly? That's learning Jonathan. Erudition. Thought. See, you youngsters just have no bloody patience. Stephen Fry's tribute to humanity to wrap the thing up was just superb -- as was CH's put-down of a threatening questioner earlier on. Don't miss the last five minutes, it's wonderful.ReplyDelete

Interview – John Drake of Harmonix talks about Rock Band
As you might have noticed from my article over the weekend, I traveled up to Chicago (DeKalb to be exact) to catch up with the Rock Band Tour. I'll say this much, it was well worth it. While I was there I spent some time with John Drake of Harmonix. He took me in the bus and let me rock out for a while and then sat down for an interview. Check it out after the jump.

If he stays in Boston and be healthy, he has a remote chance of getting number 2 retired for him.
Castiglione calls an inning or two, usually 3rd and 7th, nowadays. He called Victorino's 3-run double tonight.
Victorino drove in all three series clinching runs in the postseason.
Here's the live status of Cardinals' flight.
It's Lance Lynn tomorrow. It's still a toss-up even if we throw Dempster out there. If we can't hit him, we deserve to lose. Clay will be on short leash. No way Farrell allows him to hang out there...
No more Salty. He can't hit and blew us not one, but two games thanks to horrible defense. I want Ross behind the plate every night.
That said it's still only a 1-2 series. Shell Lynn tomorrow and...
Am I the only one hoping for a rain out in first two so that Price can't go in Game 5 on regular rest?
Close series, gotta take any possible advantage.
Or worse, face Price twice, too. More than likely he'll start Game 2 and 5, both on regular rest.
Rays fall. Magic number is 5.
Mind to lose power a few more times, especially when we're playing in New York and Tampa?:p
Seriously, I feel for you. I saw they loaded bases with 0 out before leaving work, and when I returned...
Peavy goes cause Lackey is better at shutting down our own offense :p
On a serious note, I highly doubt Buchholz can repeat what he's done at the beginning of the season. Given how our top-3 have...
We play NYY for 7, TB for 3 and BAL for 6, all division rivals. If we choose this time to go on a losing streak it's quite easy for them to make ground. On the other hand, .500 baseball through this...
We are getting killed by Iglesias defensively.
That one almost bounced onto Mass Turnpike! WOW!
Rays lose, tied in loss column with Red Sox.
40-man roster spot isn't an issue at all. Andrew Bailey can be moved to 60-day DL and clear a spot for Xander.
Nava drove in both winning runs.
Aaron Cook?
My mistake, thought Ravens have only 2 loss.
We still have the 3rd seed. Realistically we need to win out to get a bye.
With a Bills loss today, Patriots can clinch the AFC East next week by beating the Dolphins.
If they beat the Dolphins, they'll have 9 wins, which is the best the other three teams can do, and...
Try MLB.tv. It's great if you live outside Red Sox market have a decent Internet connection.
Bard's pitches aren't missing any bat.
Ellsbury is moved to 60-day DL to clear space of 40-man roster. In other words, he won't return before mid-June.
Brady threw high to Welker on 2nd down, behind to Branch on 3rd down. Not to blame him, but to win the Super Bowl you have to hit those open receivers.

Trailer for 'The Avengers'
The trailer for "The Avengers," due in May 2012, was released on the web yesterday.
The film itself has promise; it is being directed by genre icon Joss Whedon and co-written by Whedon and "X-Men" and "Hulk" writer Zack Penn.
The story involves Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson, rounding up the super-heros - and a couple of talented humans - from the last several Marvel comic films to battle Loki, the evil brother from "Thor."
The clip's opening scenes of explosions in the street look pretty generic, but the fraternal friction among the characters - notably Chris Evans Capt. America and Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man alter ego Tony Stark - look engaging. Here's hoping it's great fun.
Coincidentally Wisconsin plays a role in a pair of next summer's superhero films - Kenosha's Mark Ruffalo plays Hulk in "The Avengers," and Madison native Marc Webb, director of "(500) Days of Summer," directs "The Amazing Spider-man" due July 3.

To Assure Japan, Official Drinks Water From Fukushima Puddle
Japan's Parliamentary Secretary for the Cabinet Office Yasuhiro Sonoda drinks a glass of decontaminated water taken from puddles inside the buildings housing reactors 5 and 6 at the Fukushima No. 1 plant.Jiji Press/AFP/Getty Images
He had assured Japan that the water inside the nuclear reactors crippled after the tsunami was safe. Yasuhiro Sonoda, a Japanese MP, said he so sure of the safety, he'd drink a glass of decontaminated water from the Fukushima reactor in front of reporters.
Monday, he made good on his promise. Here's the video:
And here's how The Wall Street Journal described the scene:
With TV cameras rolling, the parliamentary secretary for the Cabinet Office, Yasuhiro Sonoda, downed a glass of water originally taken from a puddle located inside the building that houses reactors No. 5 and 6 at the troubled Fukushima Daiichi plant in an apparent attempt to prove that progress is being made in the plant clean-up work.
It wasn't to quench his thirst. In a tense scene that might have seemed more appropriate in an episode of "Fear Factor" rather than under the unflattering fluorescent lights in the briefing room at Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s headquarters, Mr. Sonoda finished the glass in two swift gulps as a way to show the water – that had been through a process to decontaminate it of radioactive elements — was safe enough to drink.
As The Guardian reports, the issue here is that the cleanup process at the nuclear plant has been complicated by water building up inside the reactors. The water has been treated and in order to relieve the storage problem, it has been used to water the trees outside the reactor. People have questioned the safety of that move and Sonoda's drink was meant to assure the public.
The Guardian adds that Sonoda said drinking the water was not a publicity stunt. "I am aware that just drinking [the treated water] doesn't in itself mean that safety has been confirmed. The best way to do that is to present data to the public," Sonoda said according to The Guardian.

G-8 Voices Concern Over Iran Actions
ROME, Italy -- The leaders of the eight largest industrial democracies issued a unanimous declaration Wednesday night expressing "serious concern" about post-election violence in Iran, the "unjustified" detention of journalists and the harassment of embassy staff in the Islamic Republic. It also condemned Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for his statements denying the Holocaust.
But the group stopped short of setting deadlines for a halt to Iran's nuclear program or calling for specific action, instead stating the United Nations General Assembly meeting in September would provide the world an opportunity to take stock of options to halt Iran's suspected pursuit of a nuclear weapon.
Undersecretary of State William Burns said the joint statement reflected "consensus and unanimity" in the group and a "sense of urgency" on the Iranian nuclear issue. Although there was no call for action, its release was a sign of success for President Barack Obama and his overtures to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. Just this weekend, Mr. Medvedev referred to Iran in a media interview as a partner and declined to put the Islamic Republic in the same category as North Korea. Last year, Russia effectively blocked a statement condemning election violence and intimidation in Zimbabwe, according to G-8 organizers.
"We want to give negotiations every chance. If that works, then great. If that leads nowhere, then that won't be without consequences," French President Nicolas Sarkozy told reporters after a working dinner at the G-8 summit in L'Aquila, Italy.
Leaders at the dinner also set a March 2010 date for a nuclear security summit in Washington. U.S. officials said 20 to 25 nations will send representatives in hopes of toughening up efforts to secure nuclear materials, stop a black market for such materials and break up the illicit trading of weapons of mass destruction.
