Leo: Who will save the day?
The Cleveland Indians made no secret of their pursuit for offense this winter and they are looking everywhere for help. Last month, the Tribe acquired 25 year-old Padres OF Aaron Cunningham for bullpen prospect Cory Burns. The Indians (needing to open a 40-man roster spot for Cunningham) designated reliever Josh Judy for assignment, exposing him to waivers, and he was claimed by Cincinnati. Cleveland is hoping Cunningham, a .231 major league hitter, but .306 minor league hitter, will be a "sleeper addition" that can help the big league club (much like Jack Hannahan). However, the loss of Judy and Burns eliminates some of the organization's bullpen depth and creates a vacancy in the back of the Clippers 'pen. It's no coincidence that Columbus has won championships each of the last two years when blessed with solid closers (Vinnie Pestano in 2010).
Josh Judy, 26, was the Clippers closer for much of last season, saving 23 games in 28 attempts. He struggled early in the season, posting a 6.43 ERA in May, but after raising his delivery point (getting the ball elevated higher than his ear before releasing it) Judy became a very reliable weapon at the back of the Clippers bullpen. He finished with a 2.68 ERA in 38 appearances.
Cory Burns, 24, seemed to be on the fast track to either inheriting the Columbus closer role (if Judy made the major league roster) or wrestling it away from the competition. He set an Akron franchise saves record last season (35 in 37 opportunities) and got an appetizer-sized portion of Triple-A hitters during the Governors' Cup playoffs. Burns carries a remarkable 2.02 ERA over 130 career minor league games.
Now, the search is on for a new closer. The early candidates include Zach Putnam, C.C. Lee, and Nick Hagadone.
Zach Putnam saved nine games last season and has the "stuff" to pitch in that role. He has often times been in the setup role for Mike Sarbaugh over the last two seasons and despite suffering a few pitfalls, has been solid. The biggest concern surrounding Putnam is his streakiness, he allowed runs in consecutive games on a few different occasions and allowed 15 earned runs over 18 appearances in July and August.
Chen-Chang Lee is the organization's reigning "Minor League Pitcher of the Year" after posting a stellar 2.27 ERA in 21 games with the Clippers. He did not allow an earned run in his first nine Triple-A appearances and statistically was better late in games (5.40 in 6th inning, 1.93 in 7th inning, 1.74 in 8th inning, and 1.50 in 9th inning). Lee, however, can't easily overpower hitters with his fastball and with his lower arm angle delivery, some of the club's powers-that-be may think he's better suited for a different role.
Nick Hagadone looks like a closer at 6-5, 230 and throws hard enough to make hitters take notice. The lefty held Triple-A hitter to a .228 average over 48.1 innings and, at times, showed why Cleveland pursued him in the 2009 Victor Martinez trade with Boston. Like all the others on the verge of making a major league roster, he is looking to show the club he's consistent enough for the big league. Maybe that audition will come in the Triple-A ninth inning role.
The Indians bullpen is currently among the best in baseball, which is why the Aaron Cunningham move was possible for General Manager Chris Antonetti. Like any team, the Indians gave away pieces where they have depth in order to acquire talent in an area that they are lacking. Only time will tell if this move will pay off.
In the meantime, we'll wait to see who will be the next closer under the lights at Huntington Park.
Talk to you again soon!

If you go to the Eight Dollar Mountain website and click on "Listen," you'll find a crystal-clear recording of the Ashland-based band's entire set at last summer's High & Dry Bluegrass Festival, held annually east of Bend.
It's great. You should go check it out.
In the introduction, the ... introducer (I don't know who it is) points out that the band has not only new CDs at the merch table, but also free bottle openers.
Bottle openers! Like to open beers that are in bottles! That's it: Eight Dollar Mountain is the perfect band for Bend.
Another reason: Eight Dollar Mountain plays fairly traditional bluegrass at a perfectly pleasant pace, with just a dash of progressive jamming here and there. They can really play. They can really sing. They know how to find an easygoing groove and ride it for a while, but not for too long.
And they are perfect for a barefoot dance party after you've used a bottle opener for its God-given purpose a couple times. Or even before.
Eight Dollar Mountain; 9:30 p.m. Saturday; $5; Silver Moon Brewing & Taproom, 24 N.W. Greenwood Ave., Bend; www .silvermoonbrewing.com.

The expanding role of goverments in the marketplace has become a hot topic in many executive suites around the world. But how much value is actually at stake from state intervention in the wake of the financial crisis of 2008? The answer, according to our analysis, is close to $800 billion a year of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) worldwide—on top of around $2.8 trillion on the table before the crisis.
Regulation's impact varies by industry: half of the new value at stake is in banking and insurance, 15 percent in the automotive industry, and the remaining 35 percent scattered among other sectors. In banking and insurance, the crisis has added close to $400 billion to the industry EBITDA affected by government intervention and regulation, for a total of $970 billion (exhibit). This means that two-thirds of the sector's profits are now at stake.
Government regulatory intervention since the economic crisis began has increased the value at stake across industries.
The huge regulatory impact of the crisis in just a few sectors doesn't mean that executives in other ones can relax. Telcos, transport and logistics companies, energy providers, retailers, pharma companies, and health care providers have long been subject to extensive government intervention. These industries continue to represent most of the regulatory value at stake around the world. Indeed, with a total of some $3.6 trillion a year on the table, an effective strategy for engaging government clearly has a place on the agendas of most CEOs.

I bought Tommy Girl for my daughter. She loves it and everyone comments when she wears it. She had been through a rough patch so I thought I would buy it for her to cheer her up ! It worked a treat. The tester bottles are great value. Next order already on it's way to us. Very happy customer.

I'm very fussy about scents. It has to be subtle, has to last, and is great for any occasion, day or night, special or not. I cannot abide strong, flowery perfumes, and this isn't one. The minute I sniffed a sample inside a magazine, I was hooked and had to purchase it. That doesn't happen to me often. I can think of only one other time. I highly recommend this scent.

I have worn Tommy Girl for around twenty years. I am a young 57 y/o. I love the scent because it is light and not overpowering but it lasts for hours. Of all the scents I have used over our 37 years of marriage, Tommy Girl is my husband's favorite scent. If the tester is available, buy it. You don't get a fancy box or the pretty top(I transferred the top from my old bottle) but it is a great value.

Dry Dock Waterfront Grill owner Eric Hammersand wrote a letter to Mayor Lee Rothenberg this week, which asked the Town Commission to consider holding special meetings this summer that will allow him to build a permanent roof above his outdoor dining area this summer.
Hammersand has been working on and off with town planning staff for more than four years to build a patio roof at the Dry Dock, 412 Gulf of Mexico Drive.
Issues surrounding the structure in the past, however, have caused roadblocks for the project.
Hammersand has filed a site-plan amendment and special exception for the roof, which is needed because his marina-zoned property currently does not allow for such a structure.
The Longboat Key Planning and Zoning Board will consider the application at its Tuesday, June 16 regular meeting.
But because the town prohibits action on site plans during the months of July and August, even if the planning board approves the application next month, the Town Commission can take no action until September, during one of its regular meetings.
"Under this scenario, we wouldn't be in a position to begin construction until December 2009 or January 2010," Hammersand said in his letter. "This would not be an ideal time to begin construction as we'll have to close our outdoor dining area for several weeks to allow for construction."
Hammersand hopes to begin construction in September and is asking the Town Commission to consider the application at a special meeting Tuesday, June 30, contingent upon the application's approval from the planning board.
Said Hammersand: "Lee, I wouldn't be making this request if I believed we didn't face a significant cost impact to our business by delaying our appearance before the Town Commission until September."
Hammersand has stated in the past that adverse weather meant the loss of the patio more than 50% of the time during the busy season, which results in loss of revenue and longer wait times.
A similar outdoor roof structure meant to counter adverse weather was officially opened this week at Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant & Pub, 760 Broadway.
The next commission meeting is a regular workshop, which takes place at 2 p.m. Thursday, May 21, at Town Hall, 501 Bay Isles Road.

Aside from a few blurry aerial shots and one sketch of the dress, we haven't seen much evidence of what Anne Hathaway's wedding looked like. I mean, she's a Hollywood A-lister, so naturally it was probably beautiful and grand and magical. And she has every right to have a private special day. But sometimes we plebeians just really want to get a peek into the lifestyles of the rich and famous. (What's wrong with a little escapism?) Which is why it's not surprising that Anne is sticking with the age-old celebrity tradition of selling her wedding photos to a tabloid. But this time, there's a generous twist to the traditional plot.
As, uh, I'm sure you've already guessed from the title of this post, Hathaway is giving money she received for the photos to charities promoting marriage equality. A representative of the organization Freedom to Marry made this statement about the donation:
Hathaway is doing her part to ensure that same-sex couples across the country can enjoy a fairytale wedding like hers; this week, she announced that she'll be donating some of the sales from her wedding photographs to non-profits advocating for marriage for same-sex couples, including Freedom to Marry."
Well that's pretty awesome! Perhaps one day I'll be rich enough to to the same thing. Or perhaps there will just be marriage equality by the time I get hitched. Let's hope for the latter. [via The Advocate]

The 6-Series is BMW's flagship grand tourer. The 4-door Gran Coupe is the newest addition to this line up and is actually a full four inches longer than the Coupe. Though the Gran Coupe has four doors, seating is limited to four occupants--BMW choosing to compromise the traditional fifth passenger in the name of more comfort for the other four. The cost of upgrading to the Gran Coupe is a less than $3000 making it a pretty simple choice for people who need more space but still love the styling of the 6-series.
Two engine options are available in the U.S. for 2013, a 6-cylinder and an 8-cylinder. The flagship 4.4L turbocharged V8 powers 650i models and makes a full 400 hp at 5,500 rpm and 450 foot-pounds of torque at just 1,750 rpm. It's paired with a paddle-shifted 8-speed automatic transmission or an optional 6-speed manual. Regardless of transmission choice, the 650i, is quick, allowing for 0-60 times in under 5 seconds. All-wheel-drive, new for 2013 is offered exclusively on V8-engined 6-Series cars and adds about $3000 to the price of the vehicle.
640i models are powered by a turbocharged 3.0L 6-cylinder engine making 315 horsepower. Like the V8, the 6-cylinder makes most of its torque low in the rev range, a full 330 foot-pounds of which are available from 1300 rpm. Despite the smaller displacement, the 640i still has respectable performance numbers, reaching 60 in a claimed 5.4 seconds. An 8-speed automatic is the only option available on the 640i.
The M6 also returns, featuring a 560-horsepower version of the 4.4L V8 that is mated to a 7-speed automatic. The M6 also comes with fuel saving technology such as auto engine stop-start and brake energy regeneration.
Inside, the 6-Series gets BMW's latest technology standard, with a 10.2-inch high-definition screen serving as the central hub for both the stereo, navigation, and climate controls. BMW's iDrive system returns as standard equipment.
Available safety features include anti-lock brakes, traction control, an anti-skid system, curtain side airbags and front side airbags. Also available are blind-spot alert, a lane departure warning, a full-color heads-up display, and both rear and top view cameras. BMW's Active Roll Stabilization is available as well, which takes on and helps cancel out body lean in tight cornering situations.
The 6-Series also makes use of electronically assisted steering, while optional Active Steering utilizes rear-wheel steering to give better maneuverability and stability at high speeds. BMW's Driving Dynamics Controller lets the driver customize steering and throttle response, the suspension, stability control action, automatic transmission shift points and firmness at the flip of a switch. Standard features include leather interior, navigation and steering-linked headlights.

However, Martinez is planning a fresh move for McGeady after admitting he is a big fan of the skilful wideman.
"It just wasn't meant to happen. For one reason or another, the deal broke down," said Martinez.
"I admire Aiden McGeady, he is a very talented footballer, he has got a big future. When you like a player, you always like a player."
Oh no Griff!! you just have to win the lotto soon to keep the daydream alive,hurry....- TheBrestEver

3. | Feather | ||
Derived from goose-feather or cuckoo feather (cuckoo bird), a feather, or a feath, is a crazy-person. He or she is usually out of their mind and in their own world, but not all the time. They tend to "feath" out or "flap" around wildly. When agitated, which occurs often, feathers can become ruffled. This is also detected through the possessed, wild-eyed look of the feather. A flapping sound can be used to reference the actions of said feather or the presence of a feather. "That girl at the party was a total feather."
"Did you see that guy on the bus feathing out?" "Dinner was great, until I got "feathed". I am not sitting next to Bob's sister again." "Feath came over last night, and was flapping every which way and left feathers all over the ground!" |

Alaska Natives Protest Development Projects"Idle No More" movement spread from Canada to U.S. and Latin AmericaANCHORAGE - Alaska Natives from across the state rallied in Anchorage today in protest of resource development projects they say threaten the environment, their lifestyles and even their lives. The event sprang from an international movement of indigenous peoples called "Idle No More." Started in Canada to protest legislation loosening environmental regulations there, the movement spread to the United States and Latin America today. "It is a cry for all to uphold sovereignty, de-colonize ourselves, protect mother earth, honor treaties, protect water, ensure food security and food sovereignty" said Faith Gemmill, a Gwich'in from Arctic Village. "A human being, I'm trying to understand, what makes a human being with a different color think that's more of a human being than I," said Lee Stephan, an Athabascan chief from Eklutna. There were many grievances, including the potential for drilling in ANWR, military waste left on St. Lawrence Island, the potential for developing the Pebble Mine near Bristol Bay. But Shell's recent drilling program in the outer continental shelf provided fodder for fresh outrage. "If we don't take a stand, if we don't take a stand now, we're going to go hungry for our food. No matter what race you are, we all depend on the ocean," said Mae Hank, an Inupiat from Point Hope. "The ocean feeds every country, every human being." Added Allison Warden, an Inupiat from Kaktovik, "it was a like a sign when those drilling things got grounded on the way up and on the way down. And there's no clean way to clean up the ocean, right? There's no way to clean up underneath the ice." There was no clear action plan articulated during the rally. But participants said this will not be the only manifestation in Alaska of "Idle No More.'" "Because this movement is just starting," Gemmill said. "It's just starting. There is an awakening. Just starting, now." Rally participants also expressed concern about climate change, with one predicting that millions of people ultimately will drown as a result of melting ice. You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Wednesday, Jan 16 at 12:16 AM Nope, the only standing they do is for more free handouts. They need to start in the vills and clean up the mess they are making there, and stop using fossil fuels. Now that would be a protest worth seeing. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Tuesday, Jan 15 at 11:34 PM If you were them you would roll over for the almighty dollar and pollute the villages just like they are doing now, so save it. This protest is a farce. Hypocrites and everyone sees it. Until they live up to going back to the "old ways". They can, well you all know. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Tuesday, Jan 15 at 8:03 PM If I were them I would sue the shat out of the State of Alaska...took their land, their oil, and cheated them out of royalties...SUE THE STATE OF ALASKA!!!! Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Tuesday, Jan 15 at 9:09 AM Like any ethnic group, native people will avoid the unpleasant aspects of their idyllic culture. Descendants of Aztec will often talk about their advance civilization while avoiding human sacrifices of their faith. Tlingits and other SE natives used to imprisoned their females during their periods believing them to be uncleaned. Wars, raiding parties and slavery were all part of Alaskan native cultures from Point Barrow to Wrangell. Just the way Germans don't want to talk about the holocaust, Japanese about their behavior in World War II or white Americans on black slavery (or Islamic genocide of black Africans just to be fair), native Alaskans also got their own bane to carry. But it all water under the bridge isn't it? We are all Alaskans here and lands belonged to all who lives here. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Tuesday, Jan 15 at 12:52 AM Velma Wallis writes about these things in here book, and says she will avoid the topics because people will not understand. Maybe KTVA can interview her or just censor this message too. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Tuesday, Jan 15 at 12:42 AM Sorry, but the people who call themselves "native" or "first people" were not first here btw. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Tuesday, Jan 15 at 12:36 AM This infanticide and cannibalism has been documented, was wondering did the natives eat the babies after they killed them during famine? Can I learn about this at the Native heritage center? Kind of a bad tradition, but the young need to know what the whites saved them from. Also was incest always a tradition or just a more recent tradition since alcohol and home brew and being idle instead hunting and gathering all day started. The free handouts are ruining our villages and these "protestors" want more? Not to offend just no one ever answers the hard questions anymore. Maybe KTVA can do a story on this? AuroraLight can you direct us to some books that will enlighten us on all of this? Thanks Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Monday, Jan 14 at 6:56 PM Sorry for your headache. But considered this, these natives are descendants of people who have pushed out people who came before them. There wasn't just one wave of people who settled the Americas but successive waves of immigrants. Last wave probably drove out the the wave before. You sound like Lakota Indians who cries over lost lands, lands they conquered from other tribes. And you forgot, there are others who lives here behind the tall blond and pale folks. Hispanics, Asians, Polynesians all have stakes in this state and this land. Its no longer the preserves of the natives anymore. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Monday, Jan 14 at 12:51 PM god you give me a headache ted...and the natives were here first so sorry charley...the legal pay backs are when the money revenues go to the birthright owners...not some snot nose white boy... Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Monday, Jan 14 at 12:12 AM I am a human being what makes Lee Stephan think he should have more rights than me and play the race card. I have been here longer than he has. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Monday, Jan 14 at 12:08 AM 10,000 years ago and up until 1700 and beyond the people residing in what is now Alaska, (not any more native than people entering the state in 2013) were killing each other for scraps of land, starving during times of famine, practicing cannibalism, infanticide, etc. So change is good. Some bad some good, but still. You would think a "chief" would show better leadership, but we get what we get. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Sunday, Jan 13 at 10:14 PM 10,000 years ago, well whether they like or not, outside people was coming and like or not, they would have contacted these germs sooner or later. That is just plain awful truth. There is no need to explain to you how Europeans were dying like flies only a few centuries earlier for nearly 1,000 years. Plagues were coming into Europe on a regular basis. No one is special here. Alaska natives were due to meet outsiders and thus due to get the germs that they bring. Why argued with enviable? But we all Alaskans now are we not? Why talked about "payback", you sound like some Nazi talking about Jews in 1937. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Sunday, Jan 13 at 4:38 PM they were scratching their scruffs and deciding on dinner thank you...first was the great death - whites coming in with their GERMS and making them sick and they almost ALL die in the 1900's...nice visitors...then they turn around come back and lie to them and steal the oil...sounds like pay backs are coming... Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Saturday, Jan 12 at 8:50 PM Well to be honest most of the racist remarks you hear in state are from Alaska Natives. Just watch that trooper show on tv. That aside, these "protesters" would be more effective if they were "idle no more" in their homes. They need to get rid of all the copper, fuel, rifles, nets, free medical, shares, pfd etc. and live day to day off the land. Be out hunting and gathering every day. Might be more useful to the cause than what they have been spoon fed to say. Someone should let them know also not to worry about millions drowning, Alaska has been getting cooler 2.4 degrees in the last decade alone. Western AK 4.5 degrees, so gather wood and dung fuel them homes. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Jan 11 at 11:50 PM AuroraLight, calling us names isn't going to change the situation. There are always two sides to every story. I have read Alaskan history pretty well. I am well aware of what has happened to the native people. Ability to adjust, adapt and overcome is inherited in every ethnic group. Coming of the Europeans made life better and worst of the natives. But like most native lifestyle all over the Americas, life before the whites were hardly idyllic. I considered everyone who lives in Alaska as Alaskans. You do not for some reason. I have no prejudices toward the natives but I also accord them no special favors. You seem to and that make you more of racist then most of us. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Jan 11 at 11:32 PM Fortunately, most of the racist comments that you bottom dwelling trolls leave on here are so moronic and come from such a bigoted and uneducated standpoint that you only make yourselves look like fools. Learn the real history of Alaska - pick up some books and read please. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Jan 11 at 10:13 PM After following the Alaskan Natives struggle for many years, and having visited Canada's First Nations, I understand a number of their problems. It is not a question of being against progress, it is about protecting the environment. They realize that they can never go back to the way things were because when Western civilization invaded, everything changed (some for the better and some for the worse). What is being asked is not to bend to the will of BIG MONEY and BIG CORPORATIONS but to proceed with caution and to allow for meaningful input from those that know the best way to approach development. Alaskan Natives and First Nations have taken care of the environment for generations and their elders know a lot about it that is not known or is disregarded by a number of these development proposals. It was good to see representation of all over the State at the rally today, I only hope serious consideration is given to their cause. My best wishes to the "Idle No More" movement. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Jan 11 at 9:18 PM gag me. They want their welfare they better let somebody work. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Jan 11 at 9:00 PM It should be made clear that subsistence lifestyle of the native people of Alaska is unsustainable lifestyle. Second, native people of Alaska do not own Alaska, the people of Alaska should determined such thing and natives are just one of many. I don't believe in first come first serve rule. Third, native sovereignty is a myth. Something that liberal do gooders promote to erase white guilt. Natives are Americans and they should be treated like Americans. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Jan 11 at 8:17 PM "Undereducated no more" Some complaints are valid some are brainwashed. If I was them I would boycott fuel, electricity, store bought items, plastics, medical advances, etc. That will show the world. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Jan 11 at 8:14 PM One example. A federal judge in Alaska has thrown out a plan designating more than 187,000 square miles as habitat for threatened polar bears. Blah blah blah...... A coalition of Alaska Native groups, oil and gas interests and the state of Alaska sued, calling the designation an overreach. Guess the natives should have talked to more natives instead of looking like fools for the media like the occupy nuts. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Jan 11 at 7:38 PM Sure Inappropriate?

Small bedroom interior decorating with twin beds is an easy process for those with a minimal common sense. As long as they respect the symmetry and the rule of the light colors, nothing can go wrong and they will get the perfect small bedroom interior decorating for the guests of for the children. In order to decorate properly a small bedroom interior decorating with twin beds, the owners should know for sure what people will be resting in those beds. If they know for sure, then they can order the proper furniture, as they will know what sizes to order. Usually, small bedroom interior decorating with twin beds are decorated in light colors in order to make the space look bigger. Bold colors aren't recommended for small bedroom interior decorating. The furniture should also be in light colors as well as the sheets. Otherwise, the whole room will be like a mini chaos and nothing will seem to be at its place.

Jonathan Lethem's 'Neotenous Aesthetic" — Mister Bit — Wired.it
'During the brief, but very interesting Q&A session, Lethem argued that internet culture brought the "closet into the open", that is, it gave ephemera, trivialities, and everyday activities "A new kind of visibility". "People have always been producing weird stuff and have always been engaging in arcane activities," Lethem remarked. "What is really new is the fact the now we can see it. We can see it all. We can quantify what we do — or not do — online." Lethem mentioned the uncanny ability to track, in real time, "how many books I am not selling on Amazon". "Reality has acquired a new level of measurability". "The activities we perform in our digital age are not necessarily new. What is new is that. We. Can. See. Them. All.".'

"Looming over Saylor's confrontation with Bolenbaugh was the EPA's September 27 cleanup deadline, and it appears that Enbridge and its contractors were feeling the pressure as it drew near. In early September, after the Michigan Messenger published its exposé on the use of undocumented workers by Hallmark Industrial, another group of workers employed by a different Enbridge contractor came forward with detailed stories of how they had been instructed to conceal oil at the same site. Workers would land on an island, they said, remove all vegetation, and then lay out absorbent pom-poms, all per EPA regulations. But once the top layer of oil was absorbed, they were instructed to rake dirt over the area to make it appear as though it had been dug out. One worker described his supervisor showing him the process step-by-step, concluding with sprinkling a thin layer of dirt on top. "He said, 'There, now they can't see it. It is clean,'" the worker told the Messenger. Another worker described being told to cover pockets of oil with leaves and sticks. As a last step, such areas were cordoned off with caution tape."

"A number of representation schemes have been presented for use within Learning Classifier Systems, ranging from binary encodings to neural networks. This paper presents results from an investigation into using a discrete dynamical system representation within the XCS Learning Classifier System. In particular, asynchronous random Boolean networks are used to represent the traditional condition-action production system rules. It is shown possible to use self-adaptive, open-ended evolution to design an ensemble of such discrete dynamical systems within XCS to solve a number of well-known test problems."

css tutorial best-practices graphic-design via-trek- "Crowd algorithms often assume workers are inexperienced and thus fail to adapt as workers in the crowd learn a task. These assumptions fundamentally limit the types of tasks that systems based on such algorithms can handle. This paper explores how the crowd learns and remembers over time in the context of human computation, and how more realistic assumptions of worker experience may be used when designing new systems. We first demonstrate that the crowd can recall information over time and discuss possible implications of crowd memory in the design of crowd algorithms. We then explore crowd learning during a continuous control task. Recent systems are able to disguise dynamic groups of workers as crowd agents to support continuous tasks, but have not yet considered how such agents are able to learn over time. We show, using a real-time gaming setting, that crowd agents can learn over time, and 'remember' by passing strategies from one generation of workers to the next, despite high turnover rates in the workers comprising them. We conclude with a discussion of future research directions for crowd memory and learning."

"In sports competitions, teams can manipulate the result by, for instance, throwing games. We show that we can decide how to manipulate round robin and cup competitions, two of the most popular types of sporting competitions in polynomial time. In addition, we show that finding the minimal number of games that need to be thrown to manipulate the result can also be determined in polynomial time. Finally, we show that there are several different variations of standard cup competitions where manipulation remains polynomial."

"An important problem in computational social choice theory is the complexity of undesirable behavior among agents, such as control, manipulation, and bribery in election systems. These kinds of voting strategies are often tempting at the individual level but disastrous for the agents as a whole. Creating election systems where the determination of such strategies is difficult is thus an important goal. …"
voting game-theory design-patterns mechanism-design nudge-targets- "Tetravex is a widely played one person computer game in which you are given $n^2$ unit tiles, each edge of which is labelled with a number. The objective is to place each tile within a $n$ by $n$ square such that all neighbouring edges are labelled with an identical number. Unfortunately, playing Tetravex is computationally hard. More precisely, we prove that deciding if there is a tiling of the Tetravex board is NP-complete. Deciding where to place the tiles is therefore NP-hard. This may help to explain why Tetravex is a good puzzle. This result compliments a number of similar results for one person games involving tiling. For example, NP-completeness results have been shown for: the offline version of Tetris, KPlumber (which involves rotating tiles containing drawings of pipes to make a connected network), and shortest sliding puzzle problems. It raises a number of open questions. For example, is the infinite version Turing-complete? How do we generate Tetravex problems which are truly puzzling as random NP-complete problems are often surprising easy to solve? Can we observe phase transition behaviour? What about the complexity of the problem when it is guaranteed to have an unique solution? How do we generate puzzles with unique solutions?"
mathematical-recreations computational-complexity algorithms nudge-targets - "We consider the age-old problem of allocating items among different agents in a way that is efficient and fair. Two papers, by Dolev et al. and Ghodsi et al., have recently studied this problem in the context of computer systems. Both papers had similar models for agent preferences, but advocated different notions of fairness. We formalize both fairness notions in economic terms, extending them to apply to a larger family of utilities. Noting that in settings with such utilities efficiency is easily achieved in multiple ways, we study notions of fairness as criteria for choosing between different efficient allocations. Our technical results are algorithms for finding fair allocations corresponding to two fairness notions: Regarding the notion suggested by Ghodsi et al., we present a polynomial-time algorithm that computes an allocation for a general class of fairness notions, in which their notion is included. For the other, suggested by Dolev et al., we show that a competitive market equilibrium achieves the desired notion of fairness, thereby obtaining a polynomial-time algorithm that computes such a fair allocation and solving the main open problem raised by Dolev et al."

We aren't computers. We don't follow procedures. And so comparing the complexity of the manual task, to the complexity of the procedure is invalid. This is one of the reasons that estimates are so hard, and why we get them wrong so often. We look at a task that seems easy and estimate it on that basis, only to find that writing down the procedure is actually quite intricate. We blow the estimate because we estimate the wrong thing."

But the practice of topic modeling makes good sense on its own, without proof, and does not require you to spend even a second thinking about "Dirichlet distributions." When the math is approached in a practical way, I think humanists will find it easy, intuitive, and empowering. This post focuses on LDA as shorthand for a broader family of "probabilistic" techniques. I'm going to ask how they work, what they're for, and what their limits are."

"No wonder life (i.e., the thing that my once 10-year old niece referred to as "the thing that isn't fair") comes to us as a filigree of ash stories. Walking down the street past a couple in conversation, an overheard morpheme, a mere glance at a wrongly buttoned raincoat, sparks a narrative in our imagination. Ask any question beginning with "why?" and the answer will surely be a story, or it will be embedded in a story. Or, at the very least, it will offer a tempting thread for some story that you yourself will hold onto, embellish even, as you try to absorb the answer. We interpolate between such fragments. This is, for many of us, simply the way we think. What about the "why questions" in science, in logic, in mathematics? We should acknowledge how they are often "what questions" or "how questions" in disguise. Or how they slide down into such questions, as the ever-elusive, ever-illusory quest for an X that actually causes a Y dissolves. Some of the more satisfying answers to scientific "why" questions involves deft rephrasing. "Why is the sky blue?" is replaced by the question "what is the function that describes scattering amplitude as dependent on wave-length"?"

Children in an East Village workshop have a chance to interact with a cardboard Manhattan powered by toys and to see how it reacts to a mock hurricane. But it takes more than toys to make electrical light shine in this mini-Manhattan.
This toy Manhattan is powered by littleBits, electronic modules that snap together with magnets, and their creators are inviting local students to their headquarters for a hands-on demonstration explaining why the lights went out during Sandy.
After attending the workshop, the children say they feel fully confident that they can teach their friends, and maybe even their parents, about exactly why the power went out in the city and why it took so long to come back.
"Places all over the country bring a little bit of power in here and this brings out separate wires to all the buildings in its area," says one child.
"When it flooded, it damaged all the equipment and it was a lot more than they expected," says another child.
"The World Trade Center had its own generator because it's kind of its own special building," says a third child.
Incidentally, littleBits staff members think the best way to help explain the timeline of what happened is by role-playing as a NY1 reporter interviewing a spokesperson from Con Ed.

Editor's note: The Science Seat is a feature in which CNN Light Years sits down with movers and shakers from many areas of scientific exploration. This is the sixth installment.
As primates, humans were once furry, much like the modern chimpanzee. But when, and why, did we lose this fur and become "naked"?
Nina Jablonski, professor of anthropology at Pennsylvania State University, studies primate evolution with an emphasis on human skin. Among numerous academic publications, she also wrote the book, "Skin: A Natural History."
CNN Light Years spoke with Jablonski about the evolution of human skin, from furry to naked. Here is an edited transcript:
CNN's Kelly Murray: Were humans ever furry like a modern chimpanzee, and how do we know?
Jablonski: Yes. We, as primates, are furry and because we last shared an ancestor with chimpanzees about 6 to 7 million years ago, and that common ancestor was hairy, or furry. All of our living relatives are hairy; we are the only naked ones. It is simply by the principle of parsimony that we can deduce that we were hairy. Also, we know that we did share a common ancestor with hairy chimpanzees about 6 to 7 million years ago. So there is every reason to assume that our ancestors were hairy.
CNN: What did our fur look like?
Jablonski: The most likely appearance of the fur is very much like modern chimpanzee fur: Uniformly dark, or black, over the body surface. There probably wasn't a sort of contrasting front and back as there are in many animals. And this dark hair would have been covering lightly pigmented skin. If we look at a chimpanzee today, what we see if we look under their hair is actually very light skin. So we have actually reasoned by looking at comparative evidence, that the most likely appearance of the skin in our common ancestor was light skin covered by dark hair, much like chimpanzees have today.
CNN: A lot of your research focuses on human skin pigmentation, but you argue that the study of skin pigmentation cannot be addressed until you understand what happened to our fur. Why is that?
Jablonski: I consider discussion of the loss of fur to be really foundational in any discussion of human skin. Fur serves many, many functions for animals, but one of the important functions is that it protects the skin from the sun. The dark pigmentation in skin, and specifically the most important pigment - melanin - is a good substitute for part of the function of fur. Melanin is such a superb natural sunscreen. So the story of pigmentation is integrally linked to the story of the loss of hair or fur.

College Basketball: Jones help Saint Joseph's hold off Richmond
PHILADELPHIA — Carl Jones scored 17 points and Ronald Roberts posted his 11th double-double of the season to help Saint Joseph's hold off Richmond 61-55 Wednesday night in an Atlantic 10 Conference game.
Roberts finished with 16 points and 10 boards for the Hawks.
Richmond (14-11, 4-6) led the majority of the first half and took a 36-27 advantage into the break but Saint Joseph's scored the first 15 points of the second half to grab a 42-36 lead.
From there, Richmond tied the game four times and cut the deficit to one three times, including 53-52 with 5:32 left, but Saint Joseph's (14-9, 5-5) held the Spiders to just three points the rest of the way.
Saint Joseph's outshot Richmond 42 percent (19 of 45) to 32.2 percent (19 of 59).
Kendall Anthony paced Richmond with 13 points. Leading scorer Darien Brothers was held to six points on 2-of-13 shooting.

The sounds and pulsing rhythms of 1970s New York underscore the show, considered by many to have inaugurated the modern era of musical theater, according to a press release announcing the auditions. Performances are June 7-22.
The production calls for baritone, tenor and alto, mezzo and soprano voices. Characters will be cast more according to vocal range than age range.
