Will 'Duck Dynasty' Fans Care About Phil Robertson's Anti-Gay Comments?
LGBT rights groups have slammed Phil Robertson for equating homosexuality to bestiality and terrorism.
Updated at 8:45 p.m. 12/18/2013: A&E announced Wednesday evening it was placing Phil Robertson on indefinite hiatus due to the remarks he made to GQ.
"We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson's comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty," the network said in a statement. "His personal views in no way reflect those of A&E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community. The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely."
Posted at 6:16 p.m. 12/18/2013: After years of ruffling duck feathers, an interview "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson gave GQ is blowing a whole new controversy out of the water.
[PHOTOS: Top Political Sex Scandals]
In a piece posted online Wednesday for the January issue, Robertson made a number of anti-gay statements to the magazine, equating homosexuality to bestiality, prostitution and terrorism, and also explaining:
"It seems to me, a vagina — as a man — would be more desirable than a man's anus," he said. "That's just me. I'm just thinking, 'There's more there! She's got more to offer.' I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I'm saying? But hey, sin: It's not logical, my man. It's just not logical."
The interview was quickly picked up by a number of outlets, and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights groups already have condemned Robertson's statements. But will the backlash put a dent in the record-breaking ratings the show has been attracting when it returns for a fifth season in January?
"With scandals, I think there's three major elements," Syracuse University television and pop culture professor Robert Thompson says. "One is what you did. Two is how much hypocrisy of what you did is there. Three is how you package the scandal and apologize after."
GLAAD was quick to condemn Robertson's language, with spokesperson Wilson Cruz telling Entertainment Weekly, "Phil's decision to push vile and extreme stereotypes is a stain on A&E and his sponsors who now need to reexamine their ties to someone with such public disdain for LGBT people and families."
[OPINION: 4 Things Washington Could Learn from 'Duck Dynasty']
The Human Rights Campaign issued its own statement from its president, Chad Griffin:
"Phil Robertson's remarks are not consistent with the values of our faith communities or the scientific findings of leading medical organizations. We know that being gay is not a choice someone makes, and that to suggest otherwise can be incredibly harmful. We also know that Americans of faith follow the Golden Rule – treating others with the respect and dignity you'd wish to be treated with. As a role model on a show that attracts millions of viewers, Phil Robertson has a responsibility to set a positive example for young Americans – not shame and ridicule them because of who they are."
Griffin also called on A&E to distance itself from Robertson's views.
However, the network instead responded with a statement from Robertson in which he more or less stands by his opinions as they relate to his Christian faith:
"My mission today is to go forth and tell people about why I follow Christ and also what the Bible teaches, and part of that teaching is that women and men are meant to be together," Robertson said. "However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me."
With Robertson refusing to embark on a Paula Deen-esque apology tour, what happens when the show comes back Jan. 15 depends largely on the perceptions of "Duck Dynasty" viewers – all 10 million of them. And that's not to mention those who have bought into the empire of "Duck Dynasty" paraphernalia, which ranges from New York Times best-selling books to prom dresses.
Whether these statements contradict or otherwise damage the views that fans have of the Robertson family ultimately will determine if the show's blockbuster ratings take a hit.
"This 'Duck Dynasty' family has really emerged as this lovable, hard-working, appealing-to-everyone kind of family," Thompson says, "and anything that reeks of offensiveness is something we don't want to hear about -- it seems to contradict what they stand for."
Updated 12/18/13: This article has been updated to reflect a statement from A&E.

I visited the Endangered Wolf Center one time in the 80's - on a field trip. When I learned that a longtime customer of mine was now their executive director, I immediately offered my computer and social networking services, and they accepted.
For most of my life I believed the World Bird Sanctuary and Endangered Wolf Center were part of the same effort. I believed that because 30 years ago, they were on the same property at the Tyson Research Center of Washington University.
It turns out this is no longer the case. The two are now at different locations, and while they have similar naturalist missions they are only connected in spirit...for now.
Personally, it was an opportunity to do something that gets me outdoors a bit. At least, that was the initial purpose. As a young child we spent most of our time outdoors; camping, floating, biking, etc. But, as I got older, everything changed to video games, television, computers, and movies.
But that was then. When I arrived on site, I was immediately hooked and forever changed. I fell in love with the cause, the animals, the staff, and what they have accomplished over the years with very limited resources. Unlike many non-profits, they receive no financial assistance from the government. All of their funding comes from membership and the generosity of their donors and volunteers, and admission prices from their public tours and evening events.
It's hard to imagine, but when the Endangered Wolf Center was founded in 1971 by Marlin Perkins, the Mexican gray wolf was down to 5 of their kind left in the wild. Forty years later, there are now 12 times that many, but still only about 58.
A primary challenge is not that they can't get them to breed, but that they have to fight the common misconception in the public sphere that wolves are dangerous to humans. The truth is exactly the opposite.
Steve Parker, Operations Director of EWC says that wolves are incredibly shy. When a human enters their territory or enclosure, the wolves will get as far away from them as they can. If the man or woman moves closer to the wolf, it will work its way around the enclosure to keep its distance.
Wolves are shy?
That was a surprise. I, like most, considered them to be aggressive animals that protected their territory and fed on whatever meat may be available. It turns out, I could not have been more wrong.
The EWC has other challenges as well, but I will let you visit them to learn the whole story for yourself. As a matter of fact, visiting them with your family is something I highly recommend.
After my tech support visit on Wednesday, I immediately took them up on their offer to bring my family out for a 'Wolf Howl' campfire that Friday evening. I learned much more about these beautiful animals, and as I sat around the fire on that chilly moonlit evening, listening to the wolves howl in the valley, I felt a connection to the natural world that I had not felt in decades.
My children, initially unexcited about the visit, are now fans of the wolves and wear their EWC t-shirts to baseball practice.
In the end, the Wolf Center's computers ended up in much better shape than when I arrived, but I'm the one that came out ahead. It was a therapeutic experience that benefitted me. I'm sold on their mission, and as Executive Director Ginny Busch said, "We no longer want to be the best kept secret in St. Louis. We want to be a must-see, well-known destination; not just for St. Louisans, but for the world."

The vision of the Endangered Wolf Center is a world where wolves and other wild canid species coexist with humans and thrive in their native habitats, recognized and valued for their vital roles as leading members of a healthy ecosystem. The Center's mission is to preserve and protect Mexican gray wolves, red wolves and other wild canid species, with purpose and passion, through carefully managed breeding, reintroduction and inspiring education programs.

Mother battles for £300,000 pay-out after Littlehampton crash
4:00pm Thursday 8th April 2010 in News By Rebecca Evans
A cyclist who was left permanently disabled after she was hit by a car has launched a legal battle for more than £300,000 compensation.
Tara Butterfill suffered a traumatic brain injury which left her deaf in her right ear, unable to walk for long periods without help and has stopped her from working as a Revenue and Customs officer.
Doctors told the 32-year-old mother-of-two that if the car had been travelling just one mile per hour faster she would have been killed in the crash.
She was cycling to work along Worthing Road in Littlehampton in March 2007 when she was hit on the back of her head by the car wing mirror.
She was in intensive care in Worthing Hospital for about a week with a fractured skull and a brain haemorrhage and doctors were not sure if she would survive.
Ms Butterfill, who lives in Oak End, Arundel, with her partner Richard Lucas and children Sacha, 10, and Connor, 7, said: "The doctors were not expecting me to live. I came around and I just wanted to be at home. It was a horrible feeling.
"The first six months were really hard. I couldn't do simple things like getting a loaf of bread and I can't drive anymore."
She now suffers from memory and concentration loss, poor motivation, balance problems and difficulty controlling her temper.
She is claiming damages from motorist Andrew Poole, from Wick, near Littlehampton, and his employers Lidbetter & Keith for the crash which she said changed her life.
She said: "I don't hate the person that's done it. I think accidents happen. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"What is unfortunate is it has changed who I am.
"I am not the same person I was. I used to take my kids to the beach and the park and I can't now which I find quite hard.
"Also the children found it hard I think. I had a fracture in my head but to look at me you couldn't see anything wrong. It was really hard for them to understand because if my arm was broken it would be in plaster but I just had a few scratches."
Mr Poole was fined £200 with six penalty points by Worthing Magistrates on August 2008 after being convicted of careless driving.
Despite the ordeal, Ms Butterfill is philosophical about the crash.
She said: "I have been told I was so lucky. If that vehicle was going one mile per hour more I would not be here. But I don't feel lucky.
"There is obviously a reason I am still here. You have to get through it because sitting in your bedroom feeling sorry for myself will not help will it? I have got the children to think of. I am still here because I am not finished I suppose."
Lidbetter & Keith insurers Allianz admitted liability for the accident in July 2007.
Martin Saunders, Allianz technical claims manager, said: "The two sides are still talking. We are agreeing with Ms Butterfill and her legal team a remuneration programme and that has been ongoing since the accident.
"You can't always mend people but you can do the best for them which is something we have done."

She cried and said sorry. She had one of those 'child on board' signs in her car which asks other drivers to be aware of her precious load.
I too am someone's child, and someone's partner yet she didn't realise how dangerous a brief lapse of concentration can be.
We all need to take care of others as well as ourselves on the roads.

How can somebody on a bike be hit on the back of the head with a car wing mirror? Lorry or bus perhaps, but not a car.
The insurance companies believe her!

It WAS a VAN that she was hit by which means YES it is possible to get hit around the back of the head!! and Micklin what the hell has it got to do with you where she worked!! At least she had a decent job which by your comments you obviously either don't or spend most of your life tax dodging which means it's the rest of us that are paying for you!!
She's a lovely person that has had her life ruined by an accident that has taken away her freedom and confined her to a life of relying on support from other people. I expect that every day you get up, do what you want to do, drive where you want, play with your kids, remember what you did 10 min ago, hear clearly, she CAN'T do this anymore all due to an accident that happened in a split second. It doesn't matter how much money she gets it will never give her her life back!!!

You are obviously one of the lower forms of life existing on this planet, which unfortunately the rest of us have to endure.
Normally I would not respond to someone whom has an obvious low intellectual level. However, I feel the need to correspond.
What kind of imbecile makes these kinds of arrogant, unfounded, malicious and hurtful comments. This only emphasises the fact that the World really is full of very nasty people.
If you're ever unfortunate enough to be in a terrible situation such as this; maybe Karma will prevail and an equally malicious, ignoramus will make such comments about you.
Maybe then, and only then, you will see yourself in the mirror and realise what a poor excuse for a life form you are.

Ada —
Two East Central University graduates – Mara Richards and Susan Rindal – are two of 12 nominees for the State of Oklahoma Teacher of the Year Award, it was recently announced.
The state's Teacher of the Year will be announced at the Oklahoma State Fair later this month in Oklahoma City. The winner will take part in the national Teacher of the Year competition and serve as Oklahoma's ambassador of teaching, according to Regional University System of Oklahoma Regent Richard Ogden.
Richards received a master's degree in library media from ECU after completing her bachelor's degree in biology from Southeastern Oklahoma State University. She teaches at Durant Middle School in Durant.
ECU also graduated Rindal, who earned a master's degree in reading education. She teaches at Vanoss Elementary School in Vanoss.
"At ECU, we have adopted a continuous improvement model that utilizes input from parents, employers and other stakeholders, as well as assessment data to ensure our programs are effective," said Brenda Walling, dean of ECU's College of Education and Psychology. "Mara and Susan's successes in the school library and classroom show our graduates are prepared for the challenges of teaching. They continue ECU's long, proud history of preparing outstanding teachers."
Alumni that have gone through the ECU program have ultimately been named Oklahoma Teacher of the Year. Most of this year's nominees actually graduated from the Regional University System of Oklahoma universities, the state's traditional teacher education schools.
"Seven of the 12 nominees earned degrees from one of our six universities," said Ogden. "Since voters included these schools in our constitution as a vital part of the state's vision for the future, we have recognized the importance of education and of dynamic teachers for Oklahoma's growth and well-being."
Some 87 percent of the system's graduates stay in Oklahoma and return almost $10 in benefits for every $1 of state resources spent on the students' education, Ogden said.

TN incentives to VW illegal?
Blogger Ben Cunningham is pursuing that line, and says: Volkswagen wants special tax breaks on all their company owned vehicles from TN and AL and GA, a promise that other car manufacturers will not be able to get the same tax breaks etc. etc.
I don't know whether that is legal or not but it sure doesn't appear to be ethical.

Any advice for a soon-to-be PhD for getting an ML/Data Science Job? (self.MachineLearning)
submitted 1 year ago by dude_man_sandwich
Hello /r/ML,
This is my first post here and my first post on reddit in general (I've been lurking for quite some time now, this place is awesome!). I'm finishing my PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience at a top-tier school this summer and am wondering how I can land a job in Data Science/ML without the requisite purely quantitative PhD (Math, CS, Stats, etc.). I'm looking in the NYC area and dont want to work anywhere else because girlfriend. I do/have done a lot of ML/Data Mining related work in grad school and am doing quite a bit for my dissertation, but am by no means a "guru" with all of the requisite Stats wizardry and erudition that comes with knowing all of the latest ML algorithms. How should I proceed? Do I have a chance of getting a job or do I really need to have even more training before I can even hope to get past a preliminary interview? Thanks for all your help in advance, this sub is really cool.
Edit: Ok, so not technically my first reddit post, but my first substantive one, so there.
[–]blargle 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
Honestly I would just start applying, with your background I think you'll be able to land some interviews pretty quickly. See how those go, and adjust accordingly. Highlight the ML/Data Mining work you've done in grad school on your resume, and just brush up some basic stats/probability type problems, since they sometimes get asked in interviews. I've been applying to Data Science type jobs lately, and most of the questions I get in interviews are about applying ML to business problems and whatnot, and just seeing your general problem solving process. I really doubt anyone will quiz you about the API to some machine learning library.
There are people with way less education than you out there being successful in the field, you don't need to be performing cutting edge research or anything to get a job..

You can go to some meetups and try to sell yourself. At the ML meetup, they always start the meeting with open jobs, and there are usually 5 or so.
Thanks, will definitely check those out!
[–]megallo 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I second the meetup approach. I had trouble in Austin finding a similar position because I was looking at Indeed, Dice, etc. The jobs you want are not listed there if the company isn't big. Get out and meet people, find what companies are doing what you want to do and get introductions. I landed a job within two weeks once I started meeting people. Good luck!
Thanks! Ive joined several meetup groups since then and am going to go to as many meetups as I can.

What work are you doing for your dissertation? If it's not deep learning, it won't contribute anything useful to the field.
You should be able to list the libraries available and use their APIs. You should be able to describe mathematically, the top tier algorithms such as CDNNs, DBNs, SVMs, NN's, decision trees, random forests. You should have practiced enough to know what parameter tweaking is required when to get a proper bound on your models.
With your experience, what you can do is slowly push toward making the already available top-tier algorithms more like functions in the brain and the structure of the brain. Think of it as a newton method for these methods, and we want to match it against the functions the brain does.
To see if you'd get past an interview, demonstrate some knowledge you have for us. Also lay back on the caffeine, it's noticeable.

FWIW i also work in big data analysis-style cognitive neuroscience. We use a lot of machine learning and related methods, and I've seen a lot of my friends get hired into startups and data analytics companies with far less than what Badoosker just said you needed. (granted, I'm in the Bay Area, but I imagine NYC has a similar startup culture)
For better or for worse, people in tech are inherently impressed when you say you study neuroscience. If you are applying for something that isn't just pure data analysis, that might give you something to leverage.
Moreover, don't forget that your PhD gives you a lot of skills that are extremely useful in the business world, we just don't ever think about them in academia. E.g., you spent three+ years planning an extremely complicated research approach and then executed that plan through a series of complex steps over the course of those years. You also probably advised an undergrad RA or two. That sounds a lot like management and product planning experience to me.
What you should do is go to as many events in data science as you possibly can, go to meetups, eventbrite events, wine and cheese events, etc. Figure out their language and learn how to incorporate it into your own speaking. You've probably already got a set of useful skills, you just need to market yourself correctly.

Thanks, i will definitely start going to networking events.
[–]holdie 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Also, I'd check with your campus resources / clubs to see if they have any services for graduates / postdocs that want to get into the private sector. For example, here at Berkeley there's a yearly conference called "Beyond Academia" that is directed specifically for people in your situation (http://www.beyondacademia.org/). There are also several entrepreneurial or consulting clubs for grad students interested in those world. Also, if your university has a business school, go to as many of those meetups as you can.

I work primarily in neuroimaging (fmri) and am trying to understand how visual category learning works for my dissertation. I use mainly linear SVMs and sparse logistic regression for supervised learning of categories and category hierarchies from fmri voxel (3dpixel) data (what the MSM have called "mind reading"). I correlate any confusion matrices that are generated from these supervised learning analyses with ideal/hypothesized confusion matrices to see if the category structure I find in some brain region reflects what you would expect a learned category hierarchy should look like. I also use permutation tests and multiple comparisons correction to validate whatever statistically significant results I may think I have because lots of statistical tests are usually performed on all of this data. I've also used SVM regression to predict people's performance on tasks while they've been in the fMRI scanner (not for my dissertation, but other work) and Genetic Algorithms, Artificial Neural Networks, and Learning Classifier Systems in the past on other non-neuroimaging datasets (GA's for constraint satisfaction using toy symptom/diagnosis problems, ANN's for weather prediction, and LCS's in bioinformatics, but all of these were years ago). I've also used the Twitter API for some really basic sentiment analysis just for fun and to see what it was all about, but thats when Im not worrying about completing my dissertation. I program exclusively in Python and Matlab,, no R, although it sounds like I need to learn it. Hope that answers some of what you were asking.

you don't want to make that explicit. If you take some time and experiment with, or at least read about compiler optimizations and profiling/tracing tools for C++/gcc, JVM/hotspot /hadoop, linux config (filehandles, TCP stack, monitoring utilities "top", "free" etc) that avoids awkward interview pauses. You won't be a C++ expert in a year no matter how hard you try, the point is to know how to run other peoples code

So SVMs are Support Vector Machines, and NNs are Neural Networks, I guess. Could you write out the first two acronyms?

Sure. Convolutional Deep Neural Networks and Deep Belief Networks

Even a hailstorm couldn't stop the party in Littleton.
An early-afternoon storm on Saturday left hail, branches and leaves covering the streets hours before more than 1,000 people were to descend on downtown for the Main Street Block Party.
Yet the mess Mother Nature left was no match for the downtown merchants, said Greg Reinke, president of the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants Association.
The GOP primary in the Jeffco assessor race offers a clear choice: the county's deputy assessor, who has 18 years of experience in the office; and a tax consultant who has represented property owners in valuation disputes.
Deputy Assessor Lou D'Aurio is vying for the Republican nomination with Ron Sandstrom. At the county GOP assembly on March 22, D'Aurio won 51 percent of the vote, while Sandstrom received 48 percent. The winner of the June 24 primary will face Democrat Andrew Hassinger and Libertarian Patrick Sullivan in the general election.
With one to five bear sightings reported daily in Colorado, it is important to keep up to date on bear safety.
"We have bears that are getting into trash, bears that are getting into garages, and occasionally bears actually trying to get into the house," said Jennifer Churchill, spokeswoman for Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
According to Churchill, the only bears in Colorado are black bears, which aren't aggressive but are hungry. Most often, bears will try to avoid people.
Members of Jeffco's marijuana task force are divided not only on the effects of pot use but also on whether studies available about recreational marijuana are valid.
Those divisions surfaced during the task force's meeting on June 9, when members went back and forth on the validity of diverging studies showing the impacts of marijuana use. The competing data involved everything from impaired driving to effects on teenagers' IQs.
Two losing candidates in the West Metro Fire District's May 6 board election are suing to void the results due to what they claim was a lack of secrecy in the ballot counting.
The lawsuit — filed June 2 by District 3 candidate Clyde Wadsworth, District 2 candidate Devin Howard, the two candidates' authorized election watcher, and the Colorado Union of Taxpayers — claims the secrecy of the ballots was broached during the count.
Officials with the Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District are asking residents to submit victim impact statements before the sentencing of former fire chief David MacBean on June 24.
MacBean pleaded guilty in April to stealing $647,000 from the department to make unauthorized purchases from 2010 to 2012. MacBean faces up to 27 years in prison and has agreed to pay back the stolen funds as part of his plea.
The Jeffco school board is expected to approve the district's 2014-15 budget at a special meeting June 19, when the board also will hear public comments.
Two issues likely to come up are charter school funding and free full-day kindergarten.
On a 3-2 vote in April, the board decided against earmarking $600,000 to fund free full-day kindergarten at schools with 35 percent or more of their students enrolled in free or reduced-cost lunch programs.
Board members John Newkirk, Julie Williams and Ken Witt voted against the expansion.
The driver whose vehicle struck and killed Jeffco sheriff's Sgt. David Baldwin pleaded guilty June 9 to vehicular homicide.
Kenneth Hosch, 83, of Golden could face two to six years in prison. Hosch is currently free on $10,000 bond while he awaits sentencing on Aug. 29.
The accident occurred just after 10 a.m. Jan. 26 when Hosch passed several cars on Colorado 93 north of West 64th Parkway. Hosch's vehicle reportedly continued to travel in the opposite lane for about 1,500 feet after passing the cars.
Maybe they just got tired of being called the new conservative majority.
Tanya Hayes clutched a dry-cleaning bag holding an old green U.S. Army uniform as she scanned the crowd at the Salute to the Greatest Generation-70th Anniversary of D-Day on June 6 at Littleton's World War II Memorial. A smaller bag pinned to the jacket held an assortment of Army medals.

A Centreville woman has admitted her role in defrauding a federal health care program.
Valerie E. Johnson, 56, pleaded guilty Friday in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Illinois in East St. Louis to engaging in a scheme to commit health care fraud.
Sentencing for Johnson has been set from Jan. 9 and she faces up to 10 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000.
During the hearing, Johnson admitted to submitting false bills in relation to personal assistant services she did not receive as part of the Home Services Program. The program is a Medicaid Waiver Program designed to allow individuals to stay at home with the help of an assistant instead of going into a nursing home. Johnson admitted to falsely billing the program for $7,842.46 for services that were supposed to be performed by her son. During the days Johnson claimed her son provided services, her son was residing, working and attending school approximately 225 miles away in Springfield, Missouri.

No FA Cup goals at Selhurst Park, so Palace will go again
9:56pm Saturday 5th January 2013 in Crystal Palace FC
By Anthony Hay
Crystal Palace showed they can compete with the Premier League big boys after an authoritative FA Cup 0-0 draw against Stoke City.
Palace maintained their 13-match unbeaten run at Selhurst Park, but will have to win a third round replay at the Britannia Stadium to progress.
Ian Holloway made four changes to the side that defeated Wolves with Lewis Price, Stuart O'Keefe and Jermaine Easter coming into the starting line-up at the expense of Julian Speroni, Kagisho Dikgacoi and Glenn Murray – while Damien Delaney returned to the side after serving a three-match suspension.
Stoke boasted former England internationals Michael Owen and Peter Crouch in their side, as well as Danish international goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen.
While a replay is not ideal for Palace, Holloway cut a pleased figure saying: "I wanted to win or lose [due to the fixture congestion] but I am glad we didn't lose because I felt my boys played very well. I am delighted with the lads.
"Now we have another away game where it is notoriously difficult to play because their club is buzzing. It will be a fantastic experience for my lot."
Palace's Andre Moritz was handed the first chance of the match when the playmaker sent a finessed shot just wide of Sorensen's goal in the 33rd minute.
Wilfried Zaha, who was playing through the middle, was also unlucky not to break the deadlock just before half-time when the forward collected a delightful pass from Mile Jedinak only to be denied by Sorensen.
Holloway's side contested the remainder of the first half superbly as Stoke, who are currently 13 places higher than Palace, were restricted to just one chance - which was squandered by Crouch.
Moritz had a second opportunity to open the scoring just after the interval when Yannick Bolasie ran down the left before teeing up the attacking midfielder who sent a wayward shot over the bar.
Palace suffered a major blow when Zaha was forced off early on in the second half after a late challenge by Stoke's Ryan Shotton.
The injury on Palace's wonderkid was not as serious as first thought with Holloway convinced the winger will be fit for the Championship trip to Burnley next weekend.
Substitute Jason Banton – who was making his debut for Palace – had a superb chance to test Sorensen but his near post effort failed to work the experienced Dane.
It was to be the last chance and so Palace are in the draw for the fourth round, they just need to get past Stoke on their own turf for the right to play in it.

The unit does work very will; problem is that it does not make enough ice each time. We use a lot of crushed ice and my wife does not take the time to use the unit. She still used an old Oster which sounds terrible but does crush a large volume with one set up.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — An arrest affidavit says a man accused in the hit-and-run death of a woman in an Austin vehicle collision exchanged punches with a witness and left in a getaway vehicle before being arrested.
The Austin American-Statesman (http://bit.ly/11zytot ) reports 20-year-old Christian Gonzalez-Martinez, who remained Monday in Travis County Jail, has been charged with manslaughter, intoxication manslaughter, intoxication assault, two counts of failure to stop and render aid and aggravated assault. Bail is set at $2.1 million. Jail records did not list an attorney.
A woman driving a sedan was killed and her passenger injured in the Friday crash.
A witness told police he followed the man after the crash and exchanged punches while trying to detain him. The affidavit said the witness saw the man enter a silver vehicle and leave.

We believe that housing is a basic human need and a basic human right.
It has been over sixty years since housing was recognized as a basic human right in this country, and it has been nearly the nearly thirty years since the tragedy of homelessness led to the creation of a homeless industry. The existence of that industry does nothing to affirm housing as a basic need or a basic human right.
We know that homelessness CAN be ended by reversing the current approach which provides housing LAST, if at all. We see the evidence of the effectiveness of the HOUSING FIRST strategy around the country and here in Philadelphia. The HOUSING FIRST program we created — SafeHome Philadelphia — moved 121 poor families and 300 children into safe, affordable homes. We proved HOUSING FIRST works in Philadelphia, producing a stability rate of 85%, which matched the national models.
We believe all anti-homelessness resources should be invested in keeping people in housing PREVENTION and moving people quickly into HOUSING, not shelters or other institutional settings.
We believe that the experts – people experiencing homelessness/bad housing – are the missing participants in policy determinations. As a result, policies continue to develop which prolong homelessness and, all too often, demean and isolate people without housing. We are building an approach which is encapsulated in two short sentences: There is no 'them'. There is only 'us'.
We believe in evidence, not anecdotes. Evidence shows how effective and humane HOUSING FIRST programs are, not to mention how cost effective! The City of Philadelphia testified before City Council stating that it costs the city $35,000 just to keep a family in shelter for one year. SafeHome Philadelphia costs $5,000 per family. And that is only aspect of a very expensive system.
We believe that unhoused individuals and families – like all of us, do need supports to build stability, and those supports are available in community based settings and mainstream health and human services where housed and un-housed people are treated alike.
The Philadelphia Committee to END Homelessness' mission is its name. Homelessness is a solvable problem which can be quickly ended or prevented. There is no need for an extensive and expensive pro-homelessness infrastructure. Informed, determined citizens – a committee – can make that happen. That is who PCEH has been from the beginning – a group of citizens anxious to see and achieve the end of homelessness.
Finally, we only seek and accept only private funding so that we have the flexibility to meet people's needs as defined by them and and so that we can continue to search for best solutions.

Comment: Re:Python for learning? Good choice. (Score 1) 412
I'll disagree on that. We use white space to communicate our programs' block structure to other humans. Why should we use a different syntax to tell the compiler the same information?
IMHO it's far easier to logically get it right with braces and pretty-print it for proper indentation than fiddling around with whitespace.

Treacy, Walle win Tabor #4
PORTLAND — Team Oregon/Laurelwood Brewing's Brendan Treacy moved up one spot this week at Mt. Tabor after finishing second to Ryan Trebon (LST/Felt) during last Wednesday's series race. In the Senior women's race, Ironclad Performance Wear continued its hot streak, taking the top two spots.
Treacy went on a solo flyer late in the race and just barely held off a quickly closing Joe King (Guinness Cycling Team) right at the line to take the week #4 win. Sam Nicoletti (Gentle Lovers) crossed the line for third in front of David Sherman (Bridgetown Velo) to preserve his series lead.
In the Senior women's race, Ironclad's aggressive riding again placed riders in the top two spots, with Brianna Walle taking the win and Anna Christiansen following for second. Series leader Anne Davis Usher (Upper Echelon Fitness) finished third to hang onto her overall advantage.
In the Fixed-Gear event, Erik Hofland (Therapeutic Associates/Sagebrush Cycles) climbed into the series lead with a win Wednesday night in front of Edward Groth (Team Slow) and David Bisers (Tensegrity PT Cycling).
The Velo on the Volcano series continues at Tabor for two more weeks, ending July 13.

Mirchi Ka Pakoda is a delicious snack for those of you who enjoy the heat of green chillies! Perfect when teamed with hot cup of Masala Chai on a cold day. Make Mirchi Ka Pakoda with pickling green chillies for extra heat or with the "sweet" banana chillies for a milder taste which is just as enjoyable.
- 6 large green chillies (the ones used for making chilli pickle) or 6 banana chillies
- 3 tsps Chaat Masala (available at most Indian grocery stores)
- 4 tsps tamarind juice (made with a golf ball-sized lump of tamarind)
- 2 tsps red chilli powder
- 1 medium onion chopped very fine
- 3 small green chillies chopped very fine (use only if you are making pakodas with banana chillies)
- 1 cup bengal gram flour (besan)
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- Salt to taste
- Vegetable/ canola/ sunflower cooking oil for deep frying
- To make tamarind juice, put the ball of tamarind in a bopwl and cover with very hot water. Set aside for 10 minutes. When the tamarind has softened, use your fingers to mash it and squeeze out the pulp. Do this till all pulp has been removed. Now strain the pulp through a sieve and keep juice aside for later.
- Put the gram flour in a large mixing bowl with the turmeric powder, 1 tsp red chilli powder, cumin seeds, salt to taste. Add warm water - a little at a time - and use a whisk to blend all together. The resulting batter should be like thick pancake batter. Keep aside.
- In another bowl, mix the onion, green chillies, 1 tsp red chilli powder, Chaat masala and tamarind juice. Mix well to blend all ingredients. Keep aside.
- Wash and pat dry all the Pakoda chillies. If you are using the hot pickling green chillies, you can reduce some of the heat by removing the seeds. Wear gloves while doing this to avoid your fingers burning.
- Make one slit along the length of the chillies (from just under the stem to just above the end of the chilli) making sure you do not slit all the way till the bottom or cut through the other side of the chilli.
- Now stuff/ fill the slit you made in the chilli with the onion-spice-tamarind juice mix. Repeat for all the chillies.
- Heat the oil for deep frying (on a medium flame) till it is almost smoking.
- When the oil is ready for frying, dip one chilli in the gram flour batter to coat well on all sides. Put it into the oil and fry till golden all over turning ocassionally. Remove and drain on paper towels. Fry remaining chillies in the same way.
- Serve piping hot with Mint-Coriander Chutney and a hot cup of Masala Chai (spiced tea)!

40 Introduction to CDMA Wireless Communications Output y(k) known Input x(n) ? LTI system h(n) ? Figure 1.26 Blind deconvolution. For k = 0 and assuming h(0) = 0 x(0) = Therefore, the input x(k) is x(k) = 1 y(k) - h(0) k y(0) h(0) h(n) · x(k - n) n=1 for k 1 (1.104) Again the terms in (1.104) do not contain system noise term. In some applications, the system impulse response h(n) is not known and the input x(n) is determined from the measured output y(k) in a process known as blind deconvolution, the concept of which is shown in Figure 1.26. Blind deconvolution is widely used in image signal processing to remove the blurring that degrades the quality of the original image. We will not develop this topic any further as it is beyond the scope of this book. 1.13 Signals correlation Correlation is a measure of the similarity between two signals as one is shifted with respect to the other. The correlation is maxima at the time when the two signals match best. If the two signals are identical, this maximum is when the two copies are synchronous (no delay). Correlation is widely used in applications such as the detection of signals corrupted by channel noise, the estimation of time delay, the time synchronization, pattern matching, and cross spectral analysis. Correlation is equivalent to the time reversed convolution of the two signals. The correlation of two signals is called the cross-correlation and the correlation of the signal with a copy of itself is called the autocorrelation. The average cross correlation function R 12 () of two periodic signals s 1 (t) and s 2 (t), period T 0 is defined as 1 R 12 () = · T 0 - T0 2 s 1 (t) · s 2 (t + ) · dt T0 2 (1.105)

Criminal Procedure
Interpreter Delay Spurs Dismissal
Posted Jul 24, 2007 11:03 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Prosecutors are appealing a Maryland judge's decision to dismiss rape charges against a Liberian immigrant because of delays in finding an interpreter.
Judge Katherine Savage of Rockville dismissed the case against Mahamu Kanneh last week, the Washington Post reports. He had been accused of raping a 7-year-old girl who was a relative.
Kanneh's lawyers had contended the delay violated his right to a speedy trial. He was arrested in August 2004 and was free on bail. He speaks Vai, the language of about 100,000 people in Liberia and Sierra Leone.
