The University of Michigan has acknowledged that it committed four major violations in its football program and should spend the next two years on probation.
In doing so, the school self-imposed the following sanctions:
• Docked itself 130 hours of practice and training time over the next two years � two hours for every hour of violation, which is common in these cases.
• Reduced its quality-control staff from five members to three and prohibited them from attending practices and games for the remainder of 2010. It also will keep those staffers out of coaches� meetings, despite a new NCAA bylaw that allows them to attend.
• Taken disciplinary action against the �seven individuals who shared in responsibility� and fired a graduate assistant coach. Letters of reprimand were issued to coach Rich Rodriguez and strength and conditioning coach Mike Barwis, among others. Graduate assistant Alex Herron, who also worked for Rodriguez at West Virginia, was fired in March.
• COACH'S RESPONSE: I'm at fault, so are others
U-M disputed one of the five major violations outlined in the NCAA�s notice of allegations in February: that head coach Rich Rodriguez failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance within the football program. The school said the coach �has been committed to rules compliance.�
In a teleconference this morning, U-M athletic director David Brandon called it a �day of relief� and said he was hopeful that the NCAA would accept these sanctions. He said that Michigan would �not play the game� of saying other schools were committing similar violations, and that it accepted a two-year period of probation for committing major violations.
Brandon also said the violations were �not attributable to any one person.� He reiterated, as he has several times in recent months, that Rodriguez would not be fired for these transgressions.
�I�ve felt support since this thing started from the administration and certainly from Dave,� Rodriguez said. �As Dave mentioned, there were mistakes made at various times by various people, and I�ve had to answer for mistakes I had and the things that are mentioned in both reports. That�s a very serious thing when you�re talking about not fostering an atmosphere of compliance, and as soon as that allegation came out, I certainly was upset. Both the school�s response and my response details why we did not agree with that.
�Not that that absolves the whole situation, because as the head coach, you have the responsibility for the program. But we certainly felt it was a very thorough investigation, and all the details were in the report that, as Dave mentioned, that�s another level when that is out there.�
Essentially, the school has agreed with almost all of the facts in the NCAA�s notice of allegations but is arguing over the severity of the violations and the intent behind them. As they did in February, Brandon and Rodriguez framed this as an oversight issue, and they said that, in most cases, U-M staffers did not fully understand the rules.
In U-M�s response to the NCAA, the school said that the one exception to that was the attendance of staffers at seven-on-seven training activities, which �did not result from a misunderstanding of the applicable bylaws.�
Brandon said he thought it would be �a significant leap� to say U-M gained a competitive advantage from these violations.
U-M will go before the NCAA�s Committee on Infractions in August. Sometime this fall, that committee is expected to release its own report. The committee will decide whether Rodriguez was indeed responsible for the disputed fifth violation: failing to promote an atmosphere of compliance. The committee could accept U-M�s self-imposed sanctions in full or impose additional penalties. Brandon said each sanction was designed to respond to a specific violation, based on precedent.
Among other violations, U-M acknowledged that quality-control staffers improperly conducted voluntary summer workouts and were present �on occasion� for voluntary seven-on-seven scrimmages during the summer.
U-M said the violations �occurred for an extended period due to inattention by the football staff, the (compliance services office�s) failure to contact Rodriguez directly about these issues, ineffective communication between the CSO and the strength-and-conditioning staff, and the failure of athletic administrators to perform tasks the CSO requested. The violations, however, did not result from a lack of rules education. The CSO educated the football staff, including both the coaching staff and the quality control staff, on virtually every issue now before this committee.�
U-M said the quality-control staffers were hired �to perform non-coaching duties such as run errands for the coaches, check on student-athlete class attendance and academic issues, and chart plays for the assistant coaches at practices and games. ... The quality control staff members were not hired to serve as extra coaches in order to gain competitive advantage.�
U-M�s response goes to the Committee on Infractions. The committee must decide whether to accept U-M�s self-imposed penalties or whether to level additional penalties.
U-M must attend a hearing before the committee during its meeting Aug. 13-14 in Seattle. Numerous U-M officials � including the president, athletic director and football coach � have been summoned to the hearing.
U-M posted its response to the NCAA online at 7 a.m. It included this statement from president Mary Sue Coleman: �As we have said all along, we take full responsibility for knowing and following NCAA rules, and we will address concerns, quickly and head on. We believe the sanctions we have imposed fit the nature of the violations.�
Statements also were included from Brandon and Rodriguez.
Brandon: �We have made every effort to be as transparent as possible � to do this in the light of day. We�ve made some mistakes as a program � we know that. We also have learned from this experience, we�ve made some necessary improvements, and now we are eager to move forward.�
Rodriguez: �We�ve already made some positive changes.�
A message for comment was left for former athletic director Bill Martin and had been not returned.
During the long investigation, experts have told the Free Press that the most likely penalties from the NCAA are probation, a loss of scholarships and a reduction of future practice time. A temporary reduction in the number of coaches also is possible.
Probation is both an admonishment from the NCAA and a warning that further violations during the probationary period could result in more severe penalties.
U-M�s punishment from the infractions committee could be stepped up because the NCAA considers the school a repeat violator. U-M has that status because of the Ed Martin basketball scandal. The NCAA alleged that football violations started within a five-year window of the basketball case. Rodriguez was hired in December 2007. February�s notice of allegations from the NCAA charged that U-M�s violations started in January 2008.
Letters of reprimand also were given to Judy Van Horn, the associate athletic director for compliance; Scott Draper, the assistant athletic director for football; Brad Labadie, director of football operations; Joe Parker, senior associate athletic director; and Ann Vollano, assistant athletic director for compliance.
Nine months ago �
Michigan�s troubles with the NCAA started late last August, when the Free Press reported that numerous former players, current players and parents of players told the newspaper that the Michigan football team routinely violated NCAA rules that govern practice and workout sessions during the season and off-season. The players requested anonymity, saying they feared retaliation.
In a released statement, Rodriguez said, �We follow the rules.� Compliance director Van Horn said that the athletic staffs and coaches were well-informed of the rules and that spot checks were conducted. She also stated that �we have not had any reason to self-report any violations in this area with any of our sports.�
The evening of Aug. 30 � the Free Press report had been published in that morning�s print editions � U-M announced that the athletic department would investigate the allegations.
A flurry of activity followed in early September:
Several bombshells started arriving in late October:
U-M received the worst news in late February:
The road ahead �
At a February news conference, president Coleman, AD Brandon and coach Rodriguez called the NCAA�s allegations extremely serious while characterizing U-M�s transgressions as mistakes and misinterpretations of rules, not a systematic and intentional breach of NCAA standards.
Experts have told the Free Press that the most likely penalties from the NCAA are probation, a loss of scholarships and a reduction of future practice time. A temporary reduction in the number of coaches also is possible. (Probation is both an admonishment from the NCAA and a warning that further violations during the probationary period could result in more severe penalties, including the so-called death penalty for a sport.)
A school convicted of a major infraction automatically receives at least two years of probation. U-M � which has won more games than any college program � has never been found guilty of a major violation.
U-M�s response to the notice of allegations goes to the NCAA�s Committee on Infractions. It is a 10-member board, chaired by Paul Dee, a former athletic director at Miami (Fla.). The committee will decide whether U-M�s self-imposed sanctions are sufficient or to add more penalties.
U-M will appear before the committee at its meeting Aug. 13-14 in Seattle. The NCAA has recommended that U-M bring nearly a dozen officials to its hearing, including Coleman, Brandon and Rodriguez.
In its notice of allegations, the NCAA wrote to Coleman: �As the president, the committee is most interested in your presentation.�
The NCAA also told Coleman that it expected to see Van Horn and Percy Bates, the faculty athletics representative. The NCAA also wrote that it hoped U-M would bring Barwis, the director of strength and conditioning; Vollano, the assistant athletic director for compliance; Parker, a senior associate athletic director; Draper, the assistant athletic director for football; and Labadie, the director of football operations.
U-M faced several hurdles in crafting a response that the committee would accept without adding penalties and that would allow the football program to move as quickly as possible past the scrutiny and uncertainty of the past nine months.
U-M has repeat violator status because of the Ed Martin basketball scandal, which the NCAA ruled on in May 2003.
Without a summary disposition, U-M will have to appear before the infractions committee and, according to experts, possibly be subject to harsher penalties as a result. Its status as a repeat violator can subject it to harsher penalties, too.
Once the committee holds a hearing, it tries to render a decision in three to five weeks. However, difficult cases can take significantly longer. In late February, the committee held a three-day hearing about major allegations involving Southern California�s football and men�s basketball programs. No decision has been announced, more than three months later.
If U-M does not like the committee�s ruling, it can appeal it to the Infractions Appeals Committee, which has five members. Such a move could delay a final resolution for months.
Rodriguez has 3 1/2 years left on a six-year, $15-million contract that he agreed to in principle in December 2007, when he left West Virginia. He signed the final document in October 2008.
If his program is found to have committed a major NCAA rules violation by the NCAA, the Big Ten or to have intentionally committed any other type of violation of NCAA rules, U-M could fire him �for cause� and not pay him anything.
He also could be fired for his poor record � he�s 8-16 after two seasons � but then U-M would need to pay him $4 million, a number that decreases to $2.5 million in the fourth year of his contract.

I thought this was a brass or gold plated socket but it's not!! The picture displayed is not a representation of the real product! This unit is the same as the 2-piece socket holder sold by craftsman i.e., Sears Item# 0094132500, Model# 41325. They often sell at the same price when on sale so get the two-piece one instead. The quality of the item is pretty decent, though ************** ones are at the same quality, if not better. These things do have a lifetime warranty though!

Amuvatinib was being investigated in the Phase 2 ESCAPE (TrEatment of Small Cell lung cancer with Amuvatinib in combination with Platinum Etoposide) study. The study used a Simon 2-stage design with the primary objective in stage 1 of excluding the statistical probability with 90% confidence that the drug has less than 10% response rate in platinum refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients. Response evaluation by RECIST criteria showed 2 partial responses in the 21 evaluable patients of stage 1 (9.5% Response Rate). No new safety issues were identified, and biological markers studies are ongoing. There were several patients with prolonged stable disease. The results will be presented in a future scientific meeting.
"This clinical proof of concept (cPOC) amuvatinib trial was designed in two parts to define clinical activity and confirm clinical benefit and safety in combination with chemotherapy," said James S.J. Manuso, PhD, chairman and chief executive officer. "We have decided to end the clinical development of amuvatinib despite the favorable safety and preliminary clinical activity we observed in the first stage of this Phase 2 trial and in the earlier Phase 1b trial in combination platinum-etoposide based chemotherapy. We will consider the possibility of licensing the compound to any partners who would be interested in its further development."
"Amuvatinib's performance in the clinic was promising in the Phase 1b combination trial with DNA damaging agents," said Mohammad Azab, MD, chief medical officer. "There is no effective treatment for SCLC patients with truly platinum-refractory disease similar to the patients enrolled in this study. While some clinical activity was observed, the ESCAPE study response rate in stage 1 fell short of fully meeting our pre-specified primary endpoint. Consistent with our corporate strategy to move into advanced clinical stages only those agents that meet our pre-specified primary endpoints in the cPOC stage, we decided to discontinue the internal development of this program."
About Amuvatinib
Amuvatinib is an oral multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor which inhibits the mutant forms of c-Kit and PDGFR alpha. It also disrupts DNA repair likely through suppression of homologous recombination protein Rad51, an important survival pathway in many human cancers. In vitro and in vivo data have demonstrated amuvatinib synergy with DNA damaging agents including etoposide and doxorubicin. Overall, in the amuvatinib clinical development program, over 200 subjects were exposed to at least one dose of amuvatinib. In the Phase 1b clinical study in combination with carboplatin and etoposide, responses in SCLC, neuroendocrine as well as other tumor types were observed. Human pharmacokinetic data suggest that co-administration of amuvatinib did not alter exposures of standard of care agents including carboplatin, etoposide, doxorubicin, paclitaxel, topotecan or erlotinib as measured by overall exposure. In the first-in-human study, durable clinical benefit was observed in the gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) with modulation of Rad51 observed in skin punch biopsies. In clinical trials, amuvatinib has demonstrated a wide therapeutic window and shows minimal toxicity in the expected therapeutic dose range, despite suppressing several signaling pathways within cells.

I'm not going to provide much in the way of directions here. Just make sure you follow the ones you get with the iron-on transfers very carefully. We only had trouble peeling the first shirt (we didn't wait long enough). When it happened, we just put everything back down, ironed it a bit more and you couldn't tell we'd messed up. All I can say is make sure you wait.
In terms of printing the transfers, you have to figure out if your printer prints on the top or the bottom. I just printed the word TEST on a scrap piece of paper. Before printing, I put an X on the front of the paper (face up) and that way, I knew whether it printed on the face up or face down side.
Make sure you set your margins as low as you can. Go into FILE, PRINT SETUP or FILE, PAGE SETUP on your browser and adjust your margins to .25 or so. In this same location you can also turn off your header and footer so you don't print the date and such.
The templates look backwards (to read any words, you have to hold them up to a mirror). This is NOT a mistake. It's how it has to be for the iron-on to work.

Compassionate and caring. Those were the first two words that came to mind today upon observing two Humane Society of Parkersburg workers who arrived at our office today to rescue a timid German Shepherd, suffering from heat exhaustion. Our staff observed the full size Shepherd somewhat disoriented and wandering in our building's front yard, and placed water out for her. Appearing weak, after just a few sips, she laid down against our building.
As we wondered what to do next, her condition demanded we do something. Upon contacting the Humane Society of Parkersburg and explaining the animal's plight to Maryann Hollis, Director, she quickly said they would make the animal a priority to collect. True to her word, within 15 minutes, a truck with two representatives arrived for the dog. I watched their concerned and gentle approach to the obviously frightened animal. When the animal got up and feebly attempted to walk away, their calm manner prevailed and they placed a leash on her, and carefully helped her into their truck. A short while later, Maryann advised me that the dog's owner had been found!
What a great ending to this concern and hats off to the Humane Society of Parkersburg for the outstanding services provided for this animal and its owner. We deeply appreciate the services of our local humane society.

Petraeus socialite friend deep in debt
Financial details have emerged about the woman whose complaint led to the resignation of the CIA head.
A personal finance lesson from the Petraeus scandal: Socialites praised for hosting lavish parties may be living far beyond their means.
Jill Kelley, whose report to an FBI friend about threatening emails launched the unfolding imbroglio, opened her Bayshore Boulevard mansion in Tampa -- purchased for $1.5 million in 2004 -- to top leaders of the U.S. Central Command for catered parties and other glitzy social events. That's how she and her husband, a cancer surgeon, became friends of then Gen. David Petraeus and his wife, and also Gen. John Allen.
To quickly sum up the ongoing scandal, from USA Today:
"Her call to an FBI agent about harassing e-mails unwittingly exposed an extramarital affair by a family friend -- Gen. David Petraeus, who subsequently resigned as head of the CIA. That investigation has now ensnared the top American commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen, for 'potentially inappropriate' communications with Kelley -- e-mails described as 'flirtatious.'"
Readers of personal finance blogs know that the millionaires next door often live a quiet life, and that flashy folks often overextend themselves. So what follows should not surprise.
The Petreus and Kelley families became friends in 2008 and that close relationship continued after the military family had moved on, the Tampa Bay Times reports:
"Lawsuits show the Kelleys were treading water by then, when Scott Kelley was making just the minimum payment on a Visa Signature card that had accumulated a balance over $70,000 and was taking on hundreds of dollars in interest each month. According to a lawsuit filed this year, Kelley defaulted on that card in 2010, the same year Regions bank sued him and his wife over a debt in excess of $250,000. Chase sued for more than $25,000 and Regions Bank filed to foreclose on their Bayshore home. The bank said it was owed more than $1.7 million, and that it had not gotten any payments since September 2009.
"They defaulted on more credit cards and the lawsuits stacked up, but they continued to host parties and held tight to their friendship with Petraeus."
It's also been widely reported that a charity -- with the Kelleys and Jill's twin sister, Natalie Khawam, named as the people in charge -- was dissolved about two years after it was set up. Says The Huffington Post:
"By the end of 2007, the charity had gone bankrupt, having conveniently spent exactly the same amount of money, $157,284, as it started with -- not a dollar more, according to its 990 financial form. Of that, $43,317 was billed as 'Meals and Entertainment,' $38,610 was assigned to 'Travel,' another $25,013 was spent on legal fees, and $8,822 went to 'Automotive Expenses.'"
Khawam, a lawyer, reportedly filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in April, showing $350,000 in assets and $3.6 million in liabilities, including an $800,000 loan from the Kelleys. She bunks at her sister's place. Both Petraeus and Allen wrote letters on her behalf in September as she continued to fight for custody of her son. Her ex-husband, Grayson Wolfe, of Washington, worked for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, according to Reuters.
"In November 2011, the D.C. Superior Court had ruled that Khawam's husband would get sole legal and primary custody of the child.
"The judge wrote that Khawam 'has exhibited an utter disregard for the child's interest" in maintaining a meaningful relationship with his father, that she 'has extreme personal deficits in the areas of honesty and integrity,' and that she has exhibited a 'willingness to say anything, even under oath, to advance her own personal interests at the expense' of her husband, the child, and others."
It's so bizarre, it sounds like something from a reality TV show. (Kelley and her sister were, in fact, featured in the Food Network's "Food Fight" back in 2003.)
More from MSN Money:
This is Classic Farce: these two remind me of old Kardashians, except not as crafty (I didn't say "smart") and not as hot. You can throw in a bit of NJ Housewives as well. especially with both of them going broke.
So, what we have is a couple of wannabe's who don't care how much of their and others' money (the "charity" they milked) they spend to buy themselves into a social set. And then actually believe the press they themselves planted in the first place.
Jill does busy work for the Korean consulate in Tampa (now there's a strategic operation), and gets named an "honorary consul", which is a throwaway, and actually believes the title carries some weight. What a moron. She buys herself into the good graces of the local military brass by freebie parties, meanwhile spending herself into oblivion.
Best punchline of the day: they are now both nailed as idiots and manipulators in the eyes of the world. There is justice.
One can only imagine how many houses they were trying to flip when the market crashed around the same time.
It just goes to show how much of the economy and wealth in the nationn was a phony bubble blown by the banks themselves.
I would be all fine with these lavish fools, were it not for the fact that we are all paying for their financial follys now. That includes the destruction of our monetary system by the Too Big To Fail banks and the Federal Reserve, also known as the greatest theft in the histroy of man.

Servings: 8 servings
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 45 min
Difficulty: Easy
Cooking spray
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 cup small curd cottage cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups grated Cheddar
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray an 8 by 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Unwrap the spinach and put it, box and all, on a plate. Microwave and cook on high power for 4 minutes. Allow it to cool and remove it from the box. Squeeze out all of the liquid out of the spinach and put it into a medium bowl.
Combine the eggs, sour cream, cottage cheese, Parmesan, flour, salt, and pepper, in a medium bowl. Stir together, or blend in food processor until the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute. Pour the mixture into the bowl with the spinach. Add the Cheddar and blend with a spoon until well mixed. Pour the spinach mixture into the baking dish and smooth out the top.
Bake until set, about 45 minutes. Remove the baking dish from the oven. It will be puffed up, but will fall slightly as it cools. Allow it to cool, then, refrigerate. Cut it into squares and serve.

I made this quiche for supper tonight. I sauteed some Baby Bella mushrooms and tossed them in. I doubled the recipe and baked it in a 13x9 baking dish. Oh my gosh!! What a wonderful recipe! We have leftovers to fight over for lunch tomorrow... Thank you!
By Mary S on July 31, 2013
Made the "Crust-less Spinach Quiche" and it was fantastic. Then made one I called "Crust-less Quiche Puttanesca". Used basic recipe then added quartered cherry tomatoes; a wee bit of hot sauce; fresh dill; capers; a small amount of salt; and, fresh ground pepper (I used Multi-Colored Peppercorns). Great cold, room temperature, or warm (20 seconds in the micro). Took both to a party last Saturday and they were both a big hit! EASY recipe that people believed too me a long time to make. NOT!! Thanks, Paula.
By Maureen Rene Lundberg on July 30, 2013
Love you, Paula. Your cooking show was informative and fun. I will greatly miss your humor and wit. You were treated horribly for being honest regarding something that happened years ago. You are, and will remain, a Southern Lady! You deserve so much better and I can not wait for your comeback! Signed, A fellow Southern who loves to cook!
By Rhonda Thomas on July 25, 2013
I am making this dish tonight for my quilt group. I don't like making the crust so this is awesome. I also want to tell you that I think the fallout over something said decades ago is a bunch of hooey. Everyone I know has changed their views over their lifetime. I am so sick of all of this agitation to keep racism alive. So many have moved past it over the years and grown up. Some never will but as long as there are people fomenting trouble, there will continue to be a divide. Let's remember that there really are starving children in China. In my world, people are accepted and loved. You are so upbeat, I love your smile and energy!

Hi Paula....Hope all is well. In the spinach quich recipe, can I use bleached flour instead of unbleached? what is the difference? Thank you. I want to try it this week. Thank you. Love u.

Help me hash out this project please
So I have create something simliar to this using HTML, CSS, JS/JQUERY. I've sussed out pretty much everything using css class switching and the likes. However I'm not sure how to approach the garment colouring. Different parts of the garment can have different colours applied.
Having said that I was wondering if any of you have ideas of how you'd approach this problem?
Can I somehow overlay colours on the garment image giving is coordinates?
Or do I perhaps create and overlay a png file the same size of the garment with colouring applied only to the chosen area with the rest of the png file transparent?
Ideas, links, suggestions all appreciated.

In essence, I would create a PNG with trapsnarent areas and make the background behind it the color the user chooses. Or you can make an image with each color combination and then switch them according the the user choice.

10 Things You Need to Know About the Technology Behind Watson
What is so fascinating about a Computer System vs. Quiz Show? The popularity of America's favorite quiz show, Jeopardy!, stems from the unique challenges it poses to its contestants: the breadth of topics; the puns, metaphors, and slang in the questions; the speed it takes to buzz and answer.
These factors make Jeopardy! the perfect testing ground for Watson, the IBM computing system that can understand the complexities of human language and return a single, precise answer to a question.
Next month, IBM's Watson will play Jeopardy! (on live network TV) with two of the all-time champions. IBM offered a press sneak peek this week at a practice round that included Alex Trebek. After seeing the clips, I am getting excited and am convinced this technology breakthrough is something special. Here s what you need to know:
1. What is Watson?
Watson is the name for IBM's Question Answering (QA) computing system, built by a team of IBM Research scientists and university collaborators who set out to accomplish a grand challenge – to build a computing system that rivals a human's ability to answer questions poised in natural language with speed, accuracy and confidence. It leverages Natural Language Processing (or NLP) to process extreme volumes of text.
Watson is powered by an IBM POWER7 platform to handle the massive analytics at speeds required to analyze complex language and deliver correct responses to natural language clues. The system is a combination of current and new IBM technologies optimized to meet the specialized demands of processing an enormous amount of concurrent tasks, and content while analyzing content in real time.
2. What is Natural Language Processing?
Natural language processing (NLP) is a field of computer science and linguistics concerned with the interactions between computers and human (natural) languages. It describes a set of linguistic, statistical, and machine learning techniques that allow text to be analyzed and key information extracted for other uses such as Question Answering or Content Analytics.
3. What are QA and DeepQA?
Question Answering (QA) is the task of automatically answering a question posed in natural language. It involves first trying to understand the question to determine what is being asked. Then by analyzing a wide variety of disparate content mostly in the form of natural language documents to find reasoned answers. And finally, to assess based on the evidence, the relative likelihood that the found answers are correct. Collections can vary from small local document collections, to internal organization documents, to compiled newswire reports, to the World Wide Web. QA is regarded as the next step beyond current search engines.
DeepQA goes well beyond simple question reformulation or keyword analyses. Queries that include disambiguation, unfamiliar syntax, spatially or temporally constrained questions – or simply bad question framing – require a deeper level of content and text analysis.
4. What is unique about the QA implementation for Watson?
Competing with humans on Jeopardy! poses an additional set of challenges, including, the variety of question types and styles, the broad and varied range of topics, the demand for high degrees of confidence and speed required a whole new approach to the problem.
5. How does QA technology compare to document search?
The key difference between QA technology and document search is that document search takes a keyword query and returns a list of documents, ranked in order of relevance to the query (often based on popularity and page ranking), while QA technology takes a question expressed in natural language, seeks to understand it in much greater detail, and returns a precise answer to the question.
I touched on the frustrations of search in my previous posting Goodbye Search … It's About Finding Answers … Enter Watson vs. Jeopardy
6. How does Watson compare to the chess-playing system, Deep Blue?
Deep Blue demonstrated that computers can solve problems once thought the exclusive domain of human intelligence, albeit in perhaps very different ways than humans do. Deep Blue was an amazing achievement in the application of compute power to an extraordinarily challenging but computationally well-defined and well-bounded game. By searching and evaluating a huge space of possible chess board configurations, Deep Blue had the compute power to beat a grand master.
Watson faces a challenge that is entirely open-ended and defies the sort of well-bounded mathematical formulation that fits a game like Chess. Watson has to operate in the near limitless, ambiguous and highly contextual domain of human language and knowledge. Ultimately Watson's scientific goal is to demonstrate how computers can get at the meaning behind a natural language question and infer precise answers from huge volumes of content, with justifications that ultimately make sense to humans.
Rather than challenging the human to search a vast mathematical space, the Watson project challenges the computer to operate in human terms. Watson strives to understand and answer human questions and to know when it does and doesn't know the answer. The capability to assess its own knowledge and abilities, something humans find relatively easy, is exceedingly difficult for computers.
7. How would this QA technology be used in a business setting?
DeepQA technology provides humans with a powerful tool for their information gathering and decision support. One of many possible scenarios could be for the end user to enter their question in natural language form, much as if they were asking another person, and for the system to sift through vast amounts of potential evidence to return a ranked list of the most compelling, precise answers along with links to supporting or refuting evidence. Other important scenarios will use DeepQA to analyze a collection of content and data representing a problem, for example a technical support problem or a medical case. DeepQA will start to search for solution gathering and assessing evidence from many disparate data sources engaging human users to help provide the missing pieces of information that can help arrive at a solution or for example a differential diagnosis, in the case of medicine.
In addition, these answers would include summaries of their justifying or supporting evidence, allowing the user to quickly assess the evidence and select the correct answer.
Business applications include Customer Relationship Management, Regulatory Compliance, Contact Centers, Help Desks, Web Self-Service, Business Intelligence and more. These applications will demand a deep understanding of users' questions and analysis of huge volumes of natural language, structured and semi-structured content to rapidly deliver and justify precise, succinct, and high-confidence answers.
8. What is the role of Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA) in DeepQA and the Watson project?
Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA) is the IBM developed open-source framework for analysis of unstructured content, such as natural language text, speech, images and video, which Watson uses to integrate and deploy a broad collection of deep analysis algorithms over vast amounts of content.
A number IBM ECM products are based on and leverage UIMA today. IBM Content Analytics, IBM OmniFind Enterprise Edition, IBM eDiscovery Analyzer and IBM Classification Module all are powered by, or benefit from, natural language processing and UIMA.
9. Are any Enterprise Content Management (ECM) technologies actually part of Watson?
Yes, IBM Content Analytics is part of Watson. After the question is asked, the text needs to be processed using natural language processing. IBM Content Analytics (LanguageWare) and other techniques (secret sauce) are used to process the text, and understand the question, as part of the complex processing required to fully answer questions with confidence. I will tackle this issue in more detail in my next blog posting.
IBM Content Analytics (or ICA) is a content analysis platform used to derive rapid insight from content and data. It can transform raw information into business insight quickly without building models or deploying complex systems enabling businesses to derive insight in hours or days … not weeks or months. It's easy to use and designed for any knowledge worker who needs to search and explore content. ICA can be extended for deeper insights by integrating to Cognos, SPSS, InfoSphere, Netezza and other Business Intelligence, Analytics and Data Warehouse systems.
The ICA product itself includes tooling (LanguageWare) which is used to customize NLP processing and build industry or customer specific models and solutions. This capability is at the core of natural language processing and is the very same ICA capability that is used in Watson.
10. Who is going to win on February 14-16th?
My prediction … Watson is.
I watched the video yesterday of the practice rounds and Watson is impressive. Watson performed impressively against Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter (the two contestants and the all-time champions).
So … who won the Jeopardy! practice round?
Watson won handily …
Watson's score was $4,400, beating Jennings by $1,000 and nearly quadrupling Rutter's score.
IBM will donate 100% of Watson's winnings to charity, while Rutter and Jennings said they will each donate 50% of their prizes.
I am going to host a viewing party for colleagues, friends and family. This is going to be exciting and fun … I can't wait. As an IBMer, I'll be rooting for Watson to win but not for the obvious reason. My rooting is really about my passion for the amazing technology breakthrough and the power of content analytics.
Who do you think will win? Leave me your thoughts below.

Very timely piece following a weekend of football and IBM Watson commercials. Since this sounds like a learning application, does it need to run 7/24/365 over the content for the Q/A and does it need massive computing resources to operate. Is this considered an AI application and does IBM see this as a cloud based service ?
Thank you.

Watson will win. It will be interesting to see how the Watson technology is deployed as it goes from displaying to doing. I could see a Watson-type system tasked solely with learning from social media 24/7, and then pooling that information somewhere to bring about the ability for another Watson-based system to provide SaaS research and information aggregation. And if the customers already had the IBM ECM pieces, especially full-text-based search within their documents, the information could then be scoped and filtered appropriately, all within the context of a real-time query. "Watson, should I set the upgrade cycle for our new app to be 12 months or 18 months?"
"Your past history shows that shorter time frames lead to larger chances of bugs. Additionally, the last five upgrades in your market segment showed an 83% negative reaction among Tweets from users in the segment. There is also a correlation between a three-month marketing push for upgrades and positive reactions, so my recomendation is to go with an 18-month cycle with a planned three-month public relations ramp-up."
This technology makes so many potential applications possible it's hard to rein them in.

What Jeopardy and Watson are truly representing is a competition between human ability (human contestants) versus human endeavor (Watson).
Will IBM ever allow other technologies/companies to also compete along the side of Watson to cater human endeavor any further? -

What are the chances that this technology could actually pass the Turing Test? Will we see personal versions of this in the next 10 years? Can the system actually learn while it is in operation?
If the answer to all three questions is "yes," I can see this becoming the "must have" accessory for the 2020s. -

Watson does "learn" a bit while playing the game. Jeopardy category titles give a clue as to how to answer correctly. Players – both human and Watson – have an opportunity to figure out that clue with the easier, lower value answers before taking on the more challenging ones.
February 17, 2011 at 5:27 am | #18|
I'm routing for Watson, not just because I'm an IBMer, but because I want to see people (not in the technology industry) embrace what technology is really capable of providing. I'm surprised to hear so many not wanting to see him win as they think it will "replace" humans. We need to show how technology of this great magnatude can do more good in the world. Can't wait to see it tonight. Is anyone pitching the story to Oprah, I'd love to see her interview Watson! She'll embrace the value this brings to everyone!
February 17, 2011 at 9:56 pm | #19|
To Beth Rieser- Aside from the fact that Watson only proves IBM's work, not other technologies, is important to understand and sympathize with the idea that the future of machine intelligence will directly compete with human performance. I do share your excitement, but I the same time, we must all be aware and approach the inevitable future with caution and respect to others. Simply because in the same fashion that a medical assistance can be replaced with AI, you and I will be too. Question: do you embrace a human-like intellect or maybe a superior intellect. I personally think, that human-like intellect is not a good idea (too many risks involved), but intellect that is many times superior maybe what humanity needs.

Being in software business development the quantifiable measures of a client purchasing an application have been, show me how I will achieve my ROI and how will it reduce headcount. So should this type of linquistic enabled, content plus context analyzing system send a wake up call to the call center nations, yes.
However, used wisely and delivered at the right price point can help to level the economic playing field for many people wanting access to hard to find informational services across a variety of industries (e.g. legal, health, finance, education, government services etc).

Hi Web Crew,
Hi Web Crew,
First off, upon opening all packaging to my Ultimate Collector's Pack for Chapter V, I did not even receive a copy of the Chapter V CD. Secondly, I have had two customer service requests under the numbers #2098 and #2518. I am still waiting on a refund for my Trey's Angels membership because I received a coupon with my order(#13500002897) for my purchase of the Ultimate Collector's Pack. The coupon code was CEB5CD6545. The invoice number for the payment that was supposed to be refunded is 201481. I was told that I would see the refund in 5-7 business days on Sept. 6. After not receiving my refund, I reached out to the support team again on Sept. 24, and was once again told I would have a refund in 5-7 business days. I am still waiting for this refund, and I would like to know why it has taken over a month? I reached out once again on Oct. 9, resulting in request #2645, and have yet to hear from anyone and it is now Oct. 17. I would really just like my money back. Below is a copy of my payment confirmation email.
Thank you for your order. You may find order details below:
Your Invoice Number 201481 from 09/03/2012

"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." --Leo Tostoy
This week I had the privilege to speak in Pitman, NJ to the Newpoint Behavioral Health Care support program for family members of consumers with mental health diagnoses. The goal of this program was to be positive, upbeat, and encouraging—quite the target to hit.As the family members gathered, you could see how happy they were to catch up with each other, happy to get out of the house for an afternoon after being cooped up throughout a cold, dreary winter, and happy to be in a room full of others who understood their circumstances. We were off to a good start.This program was geared to taking care of themselves—a real welcomed change from taking care of others. The presentation covered three Wellness Boosters that make a big difference in life.
**Control What You Focus OnResearchers have studied the impact attitude has on longevity and found that you can add ten years to your life by focus on the positive versus the negative. Cultivating an "attitude of gratitude" makes all the difference in the world. **Adopt Lifestyle Changes that Enhance WellnessSelf-care is a personal issue. Exercise, nutrition, and restful sleep are three essentials to wellness. Small changes in these three essentials over a period of time can lead to big results.**Choose Peace and ContentmentThe world is filled with simple and free minders that peace and contentment are ours for the taking. Recognizing that happiness comes from within instead of from possessions and people empowers.
By the time I was finished speaking I realized that I, too, needed a wellness boost. Interestingly enough even speakers need reminders once in a while. Thanks, Newpoint for providing the opportunity to meet some awesome folks!Reflection Question: What can you do today to implement these wellness boosters in your life?

Published by Adrienne Gurman at 7:00 AM under Anxiety | Coping | Depression | Goals | Lists | Motivation | Negative thoughts | Stress | Triggers
Each of us has our own level of tolerance for stress. Some people thrive under pressure. I'm not one of them. One of my top triggers for anxiety and depression, is feeling overwhelmed by having too much to do. A full but manageable plate is one thing, but when the plate suddenly becomes too small, I know I have to take action before it cracks and everything falls to pieces. Every so often, usually when I'm over-tired, I feel overloaded by my responsibilities. My thoughts turn to doubting my abilities and I'm convinced I can't handle even ONE MORE THING.
The best way for me to manage the situation, so that I don't get riddled with pop-up panic attacks or pangs of depression, is to prioritize my to-do list. I start by doing the easiest things first. That way I get an immediate sense of accomplishment and I'm encouraged to move on to the next item. For example, the beginning of March is when I start the dreaded task of tax preparation. If I made that chore my number one priority, I'd avoid my list of obligations entirely, like a carton of sour milk humming in the fridge, wishing it would disappear on its own. Instead of making any progress, even on a tiny scale, nothing would get done. The list would keep growing and my anxiety would skyrocket exponentially each day leading up to April 15th.
So, if I can check off the easier jobs, like paying bills or scheduling business meetings, I obtain that instant gratification needed to keep my confidence strong and build momentum towards organizing my tax info. I've learned that it's critical for me to be aware of my threshold for the daunting responsibilities that come with being an adult. The method I've created to maintaining my sanity may not work for others, but it's kept my anxiety levels in-check. My personal goals in life are not about being perfect, but continuing to make self-improvements – that's something that will always be at the top of my agenda.

A few weeks ago, I taped an interview with a local reporter, Nora Muchanic, for the program Perspective NJ. The 30 minute interview aired Saturday morning at 5:30 am. The goal of the interview was to break down the stigma around depression and anxiety, encourage others struggling to seek help, demystify ECT (electro convulsive therapy), and finally offer hope to diseases that cause hopelessness.
My office phone rang throughout the interview with individuals wanting to talk to someone who had been able to get well. My email box and Facebook page were buzzing with messages. Individuals told me their stories while seeking resources. One message read, "I have struggled my whole life and was always so hopeless. Maybe there is hope that I can get well." Oh my—I was touched over and over again by the stories people shared.
As I am writing this blog, my phone just rang, the caller is an 82 year man, who had seen just a part of the interview. He was reaching out to find out what else he could try with his depression. Another caller, this one a 72 year old woman, was calling about her daughter. The daughter doesn't seek treatment, yet struggles day and night. This loving Mother was concerned what would happen to her daughter when she was no longer alive. The general population is seeking resources and hope.
The time is now. Things have to change for the better when it comes to discussing mental health. We can no longer wait, we must find ways to educate, advocate, and break down the stigma around mental health disorders. No one should have to be ashamed of an illness he didn't cause. No one should feel guilty that she needs to take medication for her anxiety and depression. It's time!
Reflection Question: What can you do to or say to provide hope to the hopeless?

"One of the essential qualities of a great athlete is belief in his/her ability." --Unknown
If you were like many Americans this week, you were tuned into the Olympics. Watching the athletes perform with such grace, determination and perseverance was a reminder of what it takes to get to the top in life as well as to sustained recovery.GRACE: As the ice skating pairs glided across the ice, there were times when a fall occurred in the middle of their routine. The skater remained composed, forgave herself, and continued on to finish the routine.
Reminder: If you find yourself sliding down the "slippery road" of relapse, forgive yourself, and seek the help you need.
DETERMINATION: Did you watch a downhill skiing event where one of the athletes fell early in the event? If you did, you witnessed the athlete picking himself up and getting back into the event. In the meantime a number of athletes also fell. Interestingly enough, the first skier who fell and got up ended up winning the gold medal.
Reminder: You may not feel like going to the gym on a rainy morning; however, if you are determined to stay in recovery, you know the benefit and importance of exercise.
PERSEVERANCE: We heard story after story of the athletes' journeys to these Olympic games. Many of the athletes were perfecting their talents for years, many for decades. A few of the women on the women's hockey team started playing when they were 8 years old and played in the boys' leagues since there were no girls hockey leagues when they started.
Reminder: If you want to sustain recovery from illness, you will need to persevere until you find the right "medication cocktail" and treatment plan. You mustn't give up.
Only a select few ever make it to the Olympics; however, with grace, determination, and perseverance many of us can make it to sustained wellness. Start with your belief in recovery!Reflection Question: What wellness attribute do you need to perfect most?

A t-shirt for peak performances in sport. The breathable mesh fabrics transpire condensed moisture to the outside and prevent the t-shirt from sticking to your body. It is fashioned to guarantee optimal freedom of movement and comfort wear: the arms are tailored raglan style without any annoying shoulder seams, and the care instructions are not put on an extra tag but printed inside to avoid itching. Fabric weight: 145 g/m². 100% polyester.
