It's been a disappointing season for the
Florida Miami Marlins. They've got a new home, having moved from Florida to Miami, and they've got a more expensive roster, having upped their payroll from $58 million to $102 million.
To little avail, standings-wise.
For all the things that have gone wrong, though, one thing's gone tremendously right: left-hander Mark Buehrle, the only positive result of the Marlins' off-season spending spree. After spending many years with the White Sox, Buehrle signed a four-year, $58-million contract with the Marlins.
And so far, he's been worth every penny, pitching almost exactly as well as he pitched during all those years with the White Sox. Which is pretty, pretty, pretty good.
That's not what's so interesting, though. Buehrle's been one of the most consistent pitchers in the game for a while, so it's no real surprise that he's pitching well. What's interesting is that he seems to have changed his pitching style. As FanGraphs's Ben Duronio notes, Buehrle's throwing more change-ups and cutters this season, and he's being especially aggressive with his change-up when he's got two strikes on the batters.
How has that worked out? Duronio:
With the new approach, Buehrle is netting a 4.06 strikeout-to-walk ratio, the first time he has been above three since 2005. His walk rate, which has been one of the biggest factors for his success throughout his career, is now at a career low 3.7% with 1.34 walks per nine innings pitched.
Of course, some of this success is due to the transition to the National League, a better home park. and the fact that offense is generally down the past few years compared to what was the norm during Buehrle's career. Even so, the noted alteration to his repertoire has Buehrle pitching about as well as he ever has in his career, which is very impressive given his age and his history of quality performance.
Yes, it is impressive. But it's worth mentioning that while Buehrle's been a slightly different sort of pitcher this season, purely in terms of effectiveness he's been essentially the same.
In fact, that's Buehrle's career in a nutshell: never poor and never great, but always good. The Marlins are paying Buehrle around $15 million per season, which is a) what he was worth in each of the last three seasons, and b) what he's going to be worth this season, give or take a million here and there.
Also, he seems to be indestructible. If Buehrle doesn't get hurt, he'll run his string of seasons with at least 30 starts and 200 innings to an even dozen.
You know, Mark Buehrle's ERA+ (120) stacks up pretty well against a significant number of Hall of Fame pitchers. Warren Spahn, for example. But Buehrle's never going to be elected to the Hall of Fame because he doesn't have enough -- and isn't likely to get enough -- Hall of Fame seasons.
In his second full season in the majors, Buehrle won 19 games. Since then, he's never won more than 16 games in one season. Since 2005, when he won 16 games, Buehrle has won more than 13 games just once. Even if he averages 15 wins per season over these next five seasons (including this one), he'll have 236 victories while looking forward to his 38th birthday.
My own opinion is that Buehrle, if he keeps pitching like this for another five or six years, will deserve serious consideration by the Hall of Fame voters, if only because there's something to be said for being very good year after year after year after year after ...
But he's probably not going to win 300 games, and the paucity of big, Cy Young-type seasons is going to kill his chances.
The money should help ease Buehrle's pain, though. Money can do that, to some degree.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — For the most part, the numbers composing the Colts' regular-season statistical rankings on offense form a nice, skinny row of single digits on the page. There is a "1" for third-down efficiency, a "2" for passing yards gained per game, a "3" for average gain per offensive play.
But when the eyes scan to the Colts' rushing offense, the numbers jut out like a rock formation: 32. There's also a "30" for the Colts' average gain per rushing play for good measure.
No, the Colts' running game is neither the strength nor the emphasis of the offense, and everyone knows it.
"If you look at our numbers, our numbers have not been good," Colts head coach Jim Caldwell said earlier this week. "We have been either 31st or 32nd throughout the entire year (in rushing offense), so for me to tell you that's a figment of someone's imagination, that's not the case."
However, for as maligned as the running game has been, it came up big in the AFC title game vs. the Jets. In a major surprise, the Colts outgained the Jets, the NFL's top-ranked rushing offense, 101-86.
To the Colts, who rushed fewer times than every team in the league in 2009 but one (Arizona), it was a performance that validated the importance of their ground game — and dispelled the notion that it's a major weakness heading into Super Bowl XLIV against New Orleans on Sunday.
"I think sometimes, and we're all guilty of it to some degree, (it's) that if you don't have a 1,000-yard rusher, you didn't run the football very well," Colts RBs coach Gene Huey said. " … We don't have big (rushing) numbers, but we're balanced enough to where we are able to win."
For a team that can bury its ground game under a barrage of Peyton Manning passes, the Colts can't be accused of not investing in the RB position. Starter Joseph Addai was a first-round pick in 2006, and top backup Donald Brown was a first-rounder last year. Addai, who led the Colts with 828 yards and 10 touchdowns on 219 carries in the regular season, is likely to get most of the work against the Saints, with the quick, intriguing Brown to get a handful of carries too.
Addai played well in Super Bowl XLI, rushing for 77 yards on 19 carries and catching 10 passes for 66 yards on a rainy night in Miami, when the Colts, no doubt motivated by the conditions and the Bears' cover-2 scheme, surprisingly rushed 42 times for 191 yards and a touchdown en route to victory.
"He's a lot faster than you think," Saints SS Roman Harper observed of the 5-11, 214-pound Addai. "He's shifty. He's definitely more of a jump-cutter. And he gets downhill quickly. He runs harder than you think, and half of that is how fast he is getting downhill."
Said Huey: "There are times he reminds me of (former Baltimore Colts and Washington Redskins RB) Joe Washington, the great runner from Oklahoma. Sometimes Joseph seems like he is making cuts in mid-air because of his quickness and lateral quicks."
The Colts use a variety of running plays, with Harper and DT Sedrick Ellis noting Indianapolis' fondness for running quick-hitting traps in addition to stretch plays run to the right and left. The Colts' offensive line, which must adjust quickly if Manning audibles, is adept at not giving away whether it's a run or passing play, Ellis said, and he believes the Colts' success running the ball will be tied to all of their parts working together well.
"I think it's really a test of technique," he said. "If their technique is better, then they're going to be able to gash you. But I think they run it (as) a secondary thing to their offense, and I think that if you play your technique right, then it shouldn't be that big a factor."
And the numbers suggest the Colts' running game shouldn't be a primary concern for the Saints on Sunday. Addai knows how weak his part of the offense looks in spreadsheet form.
"So we never look at the paper," he said. "It's always about, in the game, did we feel like we did what we have to do?"
Many more times than not this season, they have, with the nice, skinny row of "Ws" in the win column the only proof that matters in the Colts' eyes.

Everyone on Cruise Critic loves Bermuda and you can minimally add me to list. While it may not be my favorite location, I would go back again.
Chose this cruise based on two factors: Bermuda and going out of Boston. Both were wise choices. Thanks to all the wonderful people of Boston who were the vast majority on this cruise. Some of the nicest and politest patrons on any cruise I have been on in 16 excursions. The boat and only choice was NCL which was secondary.
NCL Dawn has not faired well on many reviews and I expected to be disappointed and was willing to live with that based on the criteria stated above. Everything from Day 1 Exceeded my low or lowered expectations.
Was in the OK Class partially blocked window view, I would take this room in a heartbeat for the low price I paid. Light came in well and you could see over the boat. As stated by everyone, do not book a room in the AFT on Deck 8. We were just forward of midship near the front elevator and heard little to no noise. The room was more than adequate for the price and knew that it would be smaller based on room size indicated. Bathrooms well layed out but did not like that they rigged the shower not to have very hot water. Think McDonalds Coffee and lawsuits. You can get around this with a Phillips Screw Driver if you are so inclined.
Two free restaurants.. This really involves your own taste and personal choice since this is reflected differently by a good number of authors. Loved Venetian and thought the Aqua was a serious downgrade. Again personal choices and how you choose to dress. Venetian has a much stricter dress code.
Note: A BIG THAT A BOY for the combination of Sergio Clair and Mary Jane who were no less that a fabulous combination. Best ever and that ranked high on my list. What a CLASS ACT... If you choose to seek them out, PLEASE TIP THEM WELL! They provide Exceptional Service and that demands abover average compensation.
Pay restaurants worthwhile but we found the service in the main dining room Exceptional and how can you top EXCEPTIONAL! Food was much better than most reviews lead you to beleive.
Boat was in better shape than I was again lead to believe. Staff was all over keeping railings and walls freshly painted.
Tim Kaminsky wsa the best comedian ever experienced on a cruise and WHAT A FOLLOWING he has...He held a comedic session in the middle of a Sea Day and People left the pool to go to see him. AN OVER PACKED HOUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF A SEA DAY? Kudos to you Mr. K ... I have never seen such a huge following of cruisers... Guess that they read alot of Cruise Critic Reviews who praise him for a reason.
Bermuda is one of the islands where it makes no sense to by sight seeing from NCL... As everyone indicates, take a Cab the first day to the beach since the bus is a bad option on Sundays. Yes it is forty dollars each way but your goal is to get to the beach, not to spend time on a bus. Note, YOU NEED TO RENT AN Umbrella and consider renting chairs. Sun is WAY too instence not to have an umbrella.
Note: Hotels in Boston and the East Coast are not cheap! Worth noting before seeking out the before the cruise hotel which is always a must to prevent missing the cruise for any reason.
Cruise Director Matt: Sorry Matt, Based on a scale of 10, you only rate a 3-4.
Rachel: Good lucks take people a long way and hope that yours never fades since your voice is similar to scratching an LP of which you will have no idea of what this or a phonograph record ever was...
Matre D's in restaurant: Nice Job Jose and to the quaint sophisticated man in charge..Sorry I dont remember his name but anyone from NCL reading this will know who I am talking about.
All NCL staff worked hard and fully met my expectations!
One head waitress in the Venetian was very bizzarre and again NCL should know who she is and I would ask for someone else if she attempted to wait on my table a second time.
Boarding was brutal going through the lines. Abused by several people in line, shame on me for not getting names... This subject was previously discussed by other writers. Once you get to the counter, they are EXTREMELY EFFECIENT and somehow you forget about being abused while in line. Multiple incidences when going through initial security.
OVERALL RATING: 9 out of 10. This is not the latest and greatest in terms of ships but was very nice and SUPPOSEDLY rated as number 2 of all NCL vessels by passengers. Thanks again to every cruiser from the Boston Area and a dedicated staff. Edna our steward was also a kind soul and the world needs more of them.

Graduate Tuition and Fees
CWU's Office of the Registrar provides the most up-to-date information on graduate tuition rates as well as quarterly fees.
International Student Tuition and Fees for 2013-14
The rates for international students are sometimes harder to calculate from the Office of the Registrar. To assist you, we can provide the following guide:
Nonresident full-time tuition:
$6,617 x 3 quarters = $19,851 . . . an assistantship in 2013-14 waives $7,697 of this total.
Mandatory fees per the Registrar's web page:
$345 x 3 quarters = $1,035 . . . an assistantship in 2013-14 pays $267 for the health center/wellness fees.
Total nonresident tuition and fees with an assistantship:
$19,851 + $1,035 - $7,697 - $267 = $12,922
Add living expenses, books, and misc of $13,716 as per the Office of International Studies and you have a total cost for the 2013-14 academic year for an international student with an assistantship of approximately $26,638
Central Washington University offers a number of assistantships during the academic year to beginning and continuing graduate students.
Graduate assistantships are available in most of CWU's graduate program departments. Nearly two-thirds of the University's graduate assistants teach; the remainder serve as research assistants with a few performing University service functions.
Graduate assistants are normally selected during the months of March and April for the subsequent academic year. For full consideration, applications should be filed before February 1. Later applications will be given consideration if positions become available. Award announcements are not made until sometime after April 15.
In some cases, but not all, non-resident graduate student assistants are assessed state resident tuition and their fee waivers are applied against this amount.
2013-2014 Graduate Assistant Package
|Resident (US dollars)
|Nonresident (US dollars)
|Tuition waiver
|Health insurance
|Student Health and Counseling
|Wellness Fee
|Total Assistantship Value
Grants and Fellowships
The graduate school provides two competitive fellowship programs and a travel grant program to help graduate students with research and creative activities.
The Graduate Student Summer Research Fellowship provides a $2,800 stipend for students to conduct research over ten weeks during the summer, usually between the student's first and second year of graduate study. The research may be related to a student's thesis, but does not have to be.
The Master's Research or Creative Activity Fellowship provides up to $700 for expenses for students to conduct research related to their thesis or creative activity.
The Travel Grant program makes available to graduate students up to $400 to travel to a conference or meeting at which they are presenting their work. Students should contact their respective college of study for information.
Scholarships exclusive to graduate students:
CWURA Graduate Student Scholarship- This competitive scholarship is offered to provide $1,000 to one student per year who holds an earned bachelor's degree from Central Washington University and who is admitted to or currently enrolled in a master's degree program at Central Washington University for the purpose of defraying all or part of the student's unmet financial need as determined by the Office of Financial Aid.

This is unusual, but a sign of the times. The Food and Drug Administration has cleared the way for two new products to be sold, even though it says they are not safe, and that's coming from the FDA. You know what they're talking about? Cigarettes.
Out of 6 new brands asking for market approval, four were rejected, but two are on the way from North Carolina based Lorillard inc.
The FDA says neither product is safe, but no worse than what smokers are already buying.

I definitely shouldn't write at 3 in the morning. Or I shouldn't have written this, anyway.↵
Erasmo Ramirez is, of course, not a "little lefty" at all; in fact he's a right-handed pitcher. Which I did know, before midnight. In fact, that's sort of the point: when players are shorter than their listed height, they're usually right-handers because baseball, for some reason, doesn't mind short(er) lefties as much.
Also, the Mariners' media guide (and their website) does list Ramirez as being 5'11", not the six feet even I found on the Internet. (My guess is still 5'10" in bare feet, but potato potahto and all that).↵
Many thanks to the M's p.r. people for pointing out my shoddy work.↵

I agree with you. It's a silly journalistic attempt at being at once alliterative and antithetical. But it falls flat, and I can't see any real meaning in the phrase. It reminds me of such phrases as "it is not currently known", "the first time in recent memory" and "the Great Storm of 2013" -- newspaper writers pulling tricks to hide their subjectivity.

Police take suspect into custody after woman found shot dead in Santa Paula park
A 31-year-old Santa Paula woman was arrested Friday night about seven hours after another Santa Paula woman was found shot to death in a park there, police said.
Police identified the homicide suspect as Yajaira Dominguez aka Yajaira Rosales.
Dominguez was taken into custody at a home along the 500 block of Casabella Court about 8 p.m. after police convinced her to give herself up.
Lt. Ish Cordero said police received a call about 1 p.m. reporting that a woman was dead in Mill Park. At the scene, police found the woman's body between an oak tree and a picnic table on the west side of the small, rectangular park in the 700 block of Santa Paula/Ojai Road. The woman, identified by police as Ashley Calanche, 21, of Santa Paula, had been shot in the head, police said.
Police had yet to establish a motive.
"The investigation is continuing," police said in a statement Friday night.
Police also had yet to find the firearm used to kill Calanche.
Police said witnesses told them two females were seen fleeing the park after Calanche was fatally shot.
Police searched an apartment complex near Mill Park, where one of the females was found, police said. She later was found to be a witness to the shooting, police said.
Police said they later went to Casabella Court, where another witness may have lived. Police said as they approached the home, they saw that person driving away. When police questioned the person, they were told that the suspect Dominguez had arrived at the home in tears. Police said the person also told them they did not know a homicide had taken place. The person told them Dominguez was still in the home, located a couple of miles from Mill Park.
Neighbors said when police first arrived, they used a loudspeaker to address Dominguez by name, asking her to come out. When that did not happen, at least one police dog was sent in, the neighbors said.
Cordero said officers made a deal during negotiations with Dominguez that if she surrendered, she would be allowed to talk to her boyfriend before being booked into jail.
At the home, a man police identified as Dominguez's boyfriend waited outside. An officer emerged and handed him a purse at about 7:15 p.m.
At 7:38, a firetruck and ambulance arrived at the house. Outside the home, paramedics examined a woman who was seen limping. She was led away in handcuffs about 8 p.m.
The house was near the end of a cul-de-sac in a tract housing development of tile-roofed stucco homes that appeared to have been built in the early 1990s.
Police Chief Steve McLean said that in his many years in law enforcement, the case was one of the few instances he's seen in which a homicide victim and suspect were both women.
After the body was discovered at the park in the afternoon, crime-scene tape surrounded an oak tree there that had concrete picnic tables around it. Near the site of the body were some basketball courts. On the other side of the park was a playground with slides. The park is surrounded by middle-class homes.
Cordero said police had been called to the park before.
It's on a list of city parks slated to get police surveillance cameras. Even before Friday's incident, police were looking for appropriate sites there to place cameras, Cordero said. Had the cameras been in place, "this would have helped a lot in the investigation," he said.
The Santa Paula City Council on Sept. 16 approved spending up to $100,000 on high-resolution security cameras for city parks to help police monitor crime and other troubles. The city may buy up to 15 cameras.
"The mere presence of video surveillance cameras can act as a powerful crime deterrent," said a report to the council. "Individuals are less likely to commit a crime if they suspect they are being monitored."
Cordero said in August that the city had seen a noticeable increase in homicides this year.
The city has averaged one or two homicides per year in recent times. Friday's slaying was at least the fifth one this year for the city.
A woman was found dead in July just a block from Mill Park. Angela Bryant, 33, was shot July 17 in the 600 block of Ojai Road. Andres Rene Rodriguez, of Oxnard, was later arrested in connection with the death.
Police said they did not believe the two deaths were connected.
In the other three Santa Paula slayings this year, the victims were men.
Ulises Virto was shot dead May 27 in Santa Paula in what appeared to be a gang-related shooting, police said. On June 28, Joseph Arellano was killed in what police believed was another gang-related incident. Ramon Carrillo was found Aug. 23 suffering from fatal gunshot wounds in a friend's driveway. It was unclear whether Carrillo's slaying was gang-related, but he was a gang member, authorities said.
McLean has made anti-gang efforts a priority, creating a gang-enforcement team during his first week on the job in early July.
"We will have zero tolerance for gang members," he said.

SHM-CD format CDs are fully compatible with standard CD players.Riff rock had been what Jimmy Page's former band, the Yardbirds, were all about, and on Led Zeppelin's second album, released, like its predecessor, in 1969, the inventive guitarist demonstrated that he'd indeed learned his lessons well. Witness "Whole Lotta Love," a woozy epic based on one simple, head-banging-friendly guitar riff. Or the mock-dramatic "Heartbreaker," propelled by far more intricate but similarly effective note squashing. Between Page's sonic wizardry, John Bonham beating his drums into submission ("Moby Dick"), and the juice running down Robert Plant's leg ("The Lemon Song"), Led Zeppelin here just about succeeded in raising rock & roll excess to an art form. –Billy AltmanLed Zeppelin II is an album of Jimmy Page riffs so huge, and John Paul Jones/John Bonham rhythms so deep, that the heavy metal genre this classic helped create has tried for decades to catch up, mostly without success. And no wonder: since II catches the band before they'd headed too far into their ridiculous medieval fancies, this might be as good as Zep would ever be. Regardless, the thunderous "Whole Lotta Love," a Top 5 hit, and "Bring It on Home" are very nearly as fierce and twisted as British white blues would ever get. –David Cantwell

I had been hearing Train's rendention of "Ramble On" on the Howard Stern Show, and I loved it. So I decided to get the original version from Led Zeppelin. I'm not disappointed. As fabulous as Train's, but more authentic with Robert Plant singing it. The CD also has great hits like "Whole lotta Love", "What is and what should never Be", & "Living Loving Maid (she's just a woman)". Worth the price.
Anyone who does not give this album five stars has serious issues. The fact that some of these songs are overplayed on the radio is not a reason to give this album a low rating. If anything that should say something about the quality of the songs on the album.This album is brilliant. LZII offers a mix of styles, mostly hard rock with persistent melodies. "Ramble on" is my fav, but they're all really good. "Heartbreaker" and then "Living Loving Maid" is an amazing combo and reminds me of Yes's "All Good People." "Thank You" is incredible. Plant can do anything with that voice of his. "What Is and What Should Never Be" is classic LZ. I'm not the biggest fan of "Whole Lotta Love," because it's a little repetitive, but the messed up part in the middle is great. "Bring It on Home" is really great and bluesy.This is one of those albums where every track is really good. The only problem with Led Zeppelin is that they did not produce a bad song. I would actually say that this album ranks 4th out of the 9 studio albums they released, but every album has a different sound and feel, so choose for yourself.
After toiling the summer of my 14th year, I finally saved enough money to buy my first turntable (an $88 Pioneer which, I am pleased to say, I still own and, 23 years later, it runs like a champ). Soon thereafter, I began assembling my record collection. Led Zeppelin II was my first purchase. Over time, I bought all the Led Zep albums, and listened to them all until the vinyl was pretty well worn out. However, Led Zep II always remained my favorite Led Zep album. Special memories of Led Zep II include the time that I invited a special young lady over to my house and, to impress her (dumb, I know), I cranked up Whole Lotta Love for the guitar jam following the relatively quiet stuff with the violin bows, only to have most of the speaker componentry of my father's hand built Heathkit speakers explode into a useless, spasmodic pile of writhing, twitching cardboard-like material and coils. It took me about four months to save enough pesos to buy a new pair of speakers.Anyway, on to something Amazon readers might find useful:Led Zep II is a classic rock and roll album, but what makes it particularly good is the way each song works so well with the songs around it. I've noticed other reviewers have made similar comments. You could not pull this material and drop it into a "Greatest Hits" album and have it work. Imagine going from Whole Lotta Love, straight into Stairway to Heaven! No way! Another key is to have the right stereo equipment. It is my opinion that stereo equipment is designed to complement the music of the day. Hence, one would be best served to find a vintage amplifier or receiver to play this music. You don't want some amplifier-on-a-chip setup. Also, milquetoast speakers are out. A simple rule of thumb is, if you can lift your speakers, they are insufficient for this album.One negative, the sound quality on Led Zep II is pretty poor. Not as dreadful as on Led Zep I, but not up to today's standards. Of course, Michelangelo's cracked and faded painting of the Sistine Chapel doesn't exactly exhibit the highest "signal-to-noise" ratio ever, but it's still a classic. The reason why I bring this up is because I just bought the "digitally remastered" CD to replace my older "original CD" version of Led Zep II. In doing side by side comparisons, the improvement in sound quality is remarkable. Particularly in the quiet parts of Moby Dick, the background hiss of the older CD is much more apparent than in the new. Hiss is still there, but much less noticeable. For purists, the new mixing does not eradicate the rawness of the original. Bottom line: if you own Led Zep II, but in the older CD version or, God forbid, on vinyl, you owe it to yourself to upgrade. It's worth the money.Finally, the obligatory ranking of my favorite Led Zep albums in order: II, I, IV, Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti.As I mature and mellow (or more accurately, get older), I like III much more.
This album is a prime example of why Bonham, Jones, Page, & Plant are legends in the Rock & Roll industry. It has everything a R & R fan could possibly want. A bluesy feel, tight Guitar riffs, solos from the soul, well constructed songs, layers of music, & passionate vocals. For me the true cohesion comes from the rythym section. Bonham's drums drives the band ever forward while JPJones is ethereal on the keyboards & perfect on the bass Guitar. There are no duds on this their Sophmore album.
These are my seven favorites in no particular order. "Heartbreaker," opens with a classic riff. The midsection flows to an improvisational section with a fine Guitar solo. Here the lyrics & music blend easily. I have always liked this one more than the more publized "Whole Lotta Love." "Moby Dick," is a fine instrumental with Bonham's drum midsection carrying it. "Living Loving Maid," is often paired in direct succession with "Heartbreaker." It's an upbeat rocker with a memorable riff & a contagious melody. "The Lemon Song," has one great bass line as JPJones moves smoothly throughout as the crescendo than picks up & takes flight. "What Is And What Should Never Be," is a very different type of song that is hard to classify. I have been told by musicians that this is one of the harder Zeppelin songs to learn. Here the interesting lyrics play as a melodic counterpoint to Plant's vocals. "Ramble On," is the driving other side of the latter song representing moving on from the angst of love. This is one of the most underated of Led Zeppelin's songs. "Thank You," clearly is the bands best ballad until "In Through The Outdoor's All My Love." This one is smooth & brings out the romantic in the listener. This is one of their three best albums. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Mining and Meaning
I'm looking at another crop of press releases and marveling at the ever-expanding market for products that fall under the ubiquitous heading of Big Data. Big Data is everywhere. (Or is it Big Data are everywhere – to reprise that classic quandary?) Gigantic file storage appliances from vendors like Oracle and HP and software tools like Apache Hadoop continually add new building blocks to the data infrastructure. And the goal of all this? Apart from more conventional uses for scientific modeling and analysis, one of the reasons for this huge interest in accumulating data is a phenomenon known as data mining, which Wikipedia defines as a process that "attempts to discover patterns in large data sets."
We're all aware that data mining technologies will have a big effect on advertising and retail, but I'm not sure the popular media is giving full attention to the radical change it brings to how we think about information and knowledge.

Anglers can reel in fresh catches
Updated 2:55pm Monday 6th January 2014 in News
MEMBERS of a local angling club will no longer have to tell tales of the one that got away.
This is because 400lbs of fish were introduced into Wroughton Reservoir last month, which are now ready for catching by members of Wroughton Angling Club.
The bream, donated by Thames Water, were removed from Queen Mary reservoir in west London earlier this year because they were harming its ecosystem.
They will take up residence in the resevoir alongside the chub and roach that were also introduced earlier this year.
Before the bream could be put into the reservoir, they were treated to have some harmless parasites removed so as not to pass them on to other fish.
Keith Whitefoot of Wroughton Angling Club, said: "We're very grateful to Thames Water for kindly donating the bream and hope that the restocking of Wroughton Reservoir will keep everyone happy and enable us to begin some coaching sessions for our younger members."

Projects in Medicine, Health, Alternative Energy and Social Media Get Seed Grant Support
The Old Dominion University Office of Research has announced nearly $360,000 in multidisciplinary seed grants for 2011, with the support going to a range of health and medicine projects and to others exploring the harnessing of ocean waves and social media communications during disasters.
Sixteen teams involving 75 faculty researchers, six of whom are from Eastern Virginia Medical School, applied this year and six teams were funded, according to Mohammad Karim, the ODU vice president for research.
The purpose of the program is to nurture fledgling research projects so that they can win support from external funding agencies.
Here are the 2011 funded projects:
---"A Multidisciplinary Approach to Nanoscale Measurement and Image Analysis of Patient Cartilage for Predicting Surgical Response" ($70,000) -- Nikos Chrisochoides (principal investigator), computer science; Ali Beskok (consultant), aerospace and mechanical engineering; Andrey Chernikov (consultant), computer science; Shuiwang Ji (consultant), computer science; Shizhi Qian (consultant), aerospace and mechanical engineering; Mike Stacey (consultant), Center for Bioelectrics; Eric Dobratz (consultant), EVMS; Joe Han (consultant), EVMS.
Collagen fibers - or nano-straws - are responsible for tensile strength of cartilage. The cartilage of patients with chest wall deformities has been described as weak; therefore, abnormalities of collagen fibers observed in the cartilage of these patients may underlie these disorders. But until recently, it has not been possible to accurately and reproducibly measure biomechanical properties of collagen fibers.
This study will leverage research personnel and instrumentation that arrived at ODU in the past year in order to assess collagen fibers.
The MultiView4000 system of atomic force microscopy, near field scanning optical microscopy and scanning probe microscopy was installed in the ODU Bio-Microfluidics Laboratory this year at a cost of nearly $500,000. This instrument package is the only one in the United States that allows simultaneous four-probe nanoscale measurement, and this gives the ODU research team a unique opportunity to examine molecular- and atomic-level structures of cartilage. Beskok, Qian and Stacey will use the MultiView 4000 system to measure nano-straw stiffness and biophysical, chemical and electrical properties.
Chrisochoides, the Richard T. Cheng Professor of Computer Science, joined ODU in the fall of 2010. An expert in medical imaging computing, he, Chernikov and Ji will evaluate the displacements and the deformations of nano-straw components revealed by MultiView4000 imaging.
The study will be the first ultrastructural investigation of costal cartilage in patients with chest wall deformities. It is relevant to public health because these disorders severely impact heart, lung and psychological functions.
The clinical importance of the information gained from this study will 1) fill critical gaps in the nature of the chest wall cartilage and the underlying biology of chest wall deformity development, 2) relate biological findings with the degree of clinical severity, 3) provide a biomarker for those patients predestined to respond poorly to surgery and 4) define commonalities between disparate connective tissue disorders that exhibit chest wall deformities. Children predestined to fail surgery because of the characteristics of their costal cartilage may then be offered a more relevant clinical intervention.
---"Nanoindentation to Determine Turgor Pressure in Escherichia Coli" ($85,135) - Abdelmageed Elmustafa (PI), mechanical engineering, also affiliated with ODU's Applied Research Center in Newport News; Claretta J. Sullivan (co-PI), Ph.D., EVMS; L.D. Britt, M.D. (consultant), EVMS; David Gauthier (consultant), biological sciences.
Turgor pressure is produced by the contents of a cell pressing against the cell wall. In healthy bacteria, the barrier function of cytoplasmic membrane contributes to the ability of the cell to modulate turgor pressure. When the integrity of the cytoplasmic membrane is compromised, the cell is likely to have difficulty regulating turgor pressure.
Elmustafa is an expert in nanoindentation, in which a nanoscale indenter probes the nanomechanical properties of a material. For Elmustafa, this work has often involved probes of new materials designed to be used in the construction of aircraft.
But he switches in this study to probes of living bacteria cells. The researchers have at their disposal normal E. coli cells as well as a strain with a defective lipoprotein. They hypothesize that without the function of this lipoprotein the E. coli cell is weakened. Findings from this project are expected to advance the basic understanding of how bacteria maintain turgor pressure and could lead to the development of strategies to reduce bacterial contamination in the food supply, treatment for infectious diseases and improved bioremediation efforts.
Elmustafa will perform the measurements on samples prepared by Sullivan and both scientists will review and interpret the data. The seed funding will allow the researchers to purchase equipment required to locate individual cells so that single-cell measurements can be made. The money will also boost Elmustafa's efforts to establish a nanobiotechnology research program at ODU in collaboration with EVMS.
---"Robust, Multifunctional, Bio-compatible Nanocapsules for Intraoperative Imaging and Other Biomedical Applications" ($56,572) -- Balasubramanian Ramjee (PI), chemistry and biochemistry; Khaled Sakhel, M.D. (co-PI), EVMS; Chris Osgood (consultant), biological sciences; Shizhi Qian (consultant), aerospace and mechanical engineering; R. James Swanson (consultant), biological sciences; David Gauthier (consultant), biological sciences; James Lukban, M.D. (consultant), EVMS.
In this multidisciplinary project, the research team proposes to develop hollow polymeric nanocapsule-based platforms for biomedical applications, such as the delivery of dyes to highlight ureters and bladders. Accidental injury to the lower urinary tract is of significant concern to surgeons performing abdominal and pelvic procedures. The majority of ureteral injuries, in fact, are attributed to gynecologic surgeries.
Laparoscopic hysterectomies offer perioperative advantages, but, still, the surgeon is unable to feel the ureters and bladder during minimally invasive surgery, thus making visualization of their anatomic proximity more essential to complication-free surgery. Dyes such as indigo carmine, methylene blue and most recently near-infrared (NIR) fluorophore indocyanine green have been employed as contrast agents for visualizing ureters. The major limitation of visible dyes is that they are not sensitive, in spite of being specific. Hence, there is a need to develop novel biocompatible systems, which can be injected intravenously to highlight the ureters and bladder during laparoscopic or robotic procedures.
Ramjee proposes to build upon his recent development of hollow resorcinarene nano-capsules. One goal of this study is to make these nano-capsules water soluble so that after they provide their function they can be passed out of the body.
"We will develop new methods to generate water-soluble and biocompatible nanocapsules. Also, methods will be developed for encapsulating nanoparticles, dye molecules and combinations thereof for imaging and other applications. This multidisciplinary effort will develop and evaluate biocompatible nanocapsule-based imaging and therapeutic platforms to increase the scope of funding sources that can be targeted," the project proposal states.
Materials the researchers will develop are to be characterized by means of analytical tools in the College of Sciences Major Instrumentation Cluster (COSMIC) Laboratory and the Bio-Microfluidics Laboratory that Qian directs for the Frank Batten College of Engineering and Technology.
---"Wave Energy Dynamics: Simulation, Experiment and Optimization" ($55,500) - Jin Wang (PI), mathematics and statistics; Miltiadis Kotinis (co-PI), aerospace and mechanical engineering; Gene Hou (co-PI), aerospace and mechanical engineering; Ravindra Joshi (Consultant), electrical and computer engineering.
This project involves a comprehensive and multidisciplinary study that combines numerical simulation and laboratory experiments on the complex dynamics of ocean wave energy. The researchers aim to develop the basis for an optimal design study of a device that converts wave energy into electrical energy.
Particularly, the researchers intend to establish a new and more accurate computational framework that integrates wind-wave interaction and wave-structure interaction, and that overcomes the limitations of current dynamic theory and methods for wave energy prediction.
The first major task of this project is to establish the new computational framework and to conduct careful numerical simulation of the wave energy dynamics. Wang and Joshi will lead this effort, which will be aided by a algorithm recently developed by Wang for two-dimensional viscous two-phase Navier-Stokes flow computation.
Laboratory experiments will be conducted to validate the numerical results, led by Kotinis and Hou. Experiments will be performed in the model basin of the Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratory at the University of Michigan, with which Kotinis has collaborated.
"Wave energy offers a clean and renewable energy source for new generations. However, to design cost-effective devices that optimize wave energy extraction, one needs to have deeper understanding of the complex dynamics," the proposal states. "Currently available dynamic theory and models on wave energy application lack realistic nonlinear waves and realistic wave-buoy interactions, and neglect wind effects; thus the accuracy of their predictions is unclear. The computational framework and experimental validation proposed in this project will overcome these limitations and provide a new, systematic, and accurate study on the nonlinear dynamics involved in wave energy application."
The researchers want this work to be the basis of further studies by the Virginia Coastal Energy Research Consortium (VCERC), which is based at ODU. They say wave energy devices could be developed very efficiently if built in conjunction with offshore wind turbine farms.
---"Identifying and Archiving Socially Important Conversations in the Social Web" ($54,000) - Michael Nelson (PI), computer science; Michele Weigle (Co-PI), computer science; Kathie Gossett (Co-PI), English; Liza Potts (Co-PI), English.
Social media on the Web have excelled at rapid dissemination and organization of information about disasters such as the London bombings (2005), Hurricane Katrina (2005), Virginia Tech shootings (2007), Mumbai attacks (2008) and Haiti earthquake (2010). When a disaster occurs, information, and the dissemination of that information, becomes vital. Those who are affected need to share information with authorities and loved ones, who in turn need access to the information to determine where to best allocate resources.
Gossett and Potts study the use of social software such as Twitter, Facebook, photo sharing sites, news websites, forums and blogs during disasters to help us understand how people communicate online.
In order to investigate online communication during past disasters, researchers need to examine the Web of the past. Memento, a Web architecture funded by the Library of Congress and developed by the Department of Computer Science at ODU, led by Nelson, and the Los Alamos National Laboratory, provides the ability to go back in time and browse the Web as it existed at a given point in time.
The researchers propose to extend research and development with Memento to 1) develop replay and analysis tools of past disasters as drawn from various Web archives, 2) detect, in real-time, the conversations about current disasters in the social Web, and 3) channel public Web archiving resources to where the conversations are occurring so they can be preserved and analyzed using the tools developed in the first task.
The natural intersection of the computer science work of Nelson and Weigle (who focuses on networking) and the communication work of Gossett and Potts is often referred to as Digital Humanities, an emerging interdisciplinary area that leverages computational techniques for issues concerning the acquisition and interaction with cultural artifacts. "Although ODU has the necessary components to be active in Digital Humanities, to our knowledge this will be the first funded research project that integrates this breadth of research experience. This seed project and follow-on project that we hope it will lead to could be used to bootstrap the field of Digital Humanities at ODU and bring together researchers who would not normally be able to work together," the proposal states.
---"Tool Development for Perioperative Blood Management Simulation Training" ($37,000) - Catherine Banks (PI), Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center (VMASC); John Sokolowski (Co-PI), VMASC; Paul Hakim, M.D. (Co-PI), VMASC/EVMS; Aryeh Shander, M.D. (Co-PI), Englewood Hospital and Medical Center/Mt.

This project combines simulation training in medicine developed by ODU's VMASC and EVMS with the case studies and everyday needs of a major United States teaching hospital, Englewood Hospital and Medical Center in New Jersey. The work proposes to develop a virtual training environment in blood management for surgeons and anesthesiologists.
Blood transfusions are expensive and carry the risk of blood-borne illnesses including HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Human Lymphocytotrophic Virus, Cytomegalovirus, West Nile and sepsis among others. These facts have led to the development of blood management programs in several major hospitals in the United States. One such program at Englewood Hospital was able to reduce blood use by 42 percent over four years, which lowers patient morbidity and mortality, while also lowering cost.
Surgeons and anesthesiologists who are experts in the field of bloodless surgery have inquired with VMASC about the development of a blood management training tool, and this project has been the result of those inquiries. VMASC/EVMS are providing the technology-development expertise that already has resulted in the creation of a virtual operating room. The new training tool will also use real patient case studies, and analytical and verification capabilities of hospitals such as Englewood.
The tool will provide hands-on exercises. Simulations will consist of perioperative bleeding conditions due to expected, unexpected, and persistent blood loss as well as resuscitative scenarios. The tool will comprise computer simulations of patient vital signs (and projections) accompanied by haptic devices interfacing with the visual representations.

Death Star II
Hoping to crush the Rebellion once and for all, the Empire began construction of a second dreaded Death Star near Endor. But the project ran behind schedule; Death Star II was only half-finished, and the Emperor himself visited to oversee its completion.
Wicket W. Warrick
Wicket W. Warrick was the brave young Ewok who willingly joined the Rebellion and aided in the battle against the Empire on the forest moon of Endor. Even before he encountered the Rebels, Wicket had devised methods for defeating the Imperial machines, plans which were implemented after the Ewok befriended Princess Leia and recruited his tribe to the Alliance's cause. During the Battle of Endor, Wicket fought valiantly alongside his new allies.
Ewok Village
As you enter the darkened canopy of Endor's primeval forests, you may hear the rhythmic beating of tribal drums emanating from high above. This is the domain of the native Ewoks, diminutive arboreal beings who call Endor their home. Though they have yet to master advanced technology, they have nonetheless erected impressive villages high within the Endor trees. The Ewoks use a combination of rope ladders, swinging vines, and wooden catwalks to ascend to their lofty homes. There, carved into the living trees are simple huts with thatched roofs and animal skin curtains for doors. The largest huts are reserved for such Ewok potentates as the chief, the medicine man, and the Council of Elders.
Princess Leia Organa
Princess Leia Organa was one of the Rebel Alliance's greatest leaders, fearless on the battlefield and dedicated to ending the tyranny of the Empire. Daughter of Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker, sister of Luke Skywalker, and with a soft spot for scoundrels, Leia ranks among the galaxy's great heroes.
Luke Skywalker
Luke Skywalker was a Tatooine farmboy who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the greatest Jedi the galaxy has ever known. Along with his friends Princess Leia and Han Solo, Luke battled the evil Empire, discovered the truth of his parentage, and ended the tyranny of the Sith.
Han Solo
Smuggler. Scoundrel. Hero. Han Solo, captain of the Millennium Falcon, was one of the great leaders of the Rebel Alliance. He and his co-pilot Chewbacca came to believe in the cause of galactic freedom, joining Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa in the fight against the Empire.

ON THE CHESAPEAKE BAY—As the schooner Pride of Baltimore II headed up the bay from Norfolk Tuesday, the 1,300-square-foot American flag rippling from its main gaff suddenly snagged and ripped.
Fortunately, Pride has a sewing machine onboard.
Once the nylon flag was taken down, Foretek and deckhand Kris Jones, 22, set to work repairing it, sitting on the floor of the ship's main common area below deck.
They had to mend the flag quickly. Pride is set to escort the USS Fort McHenry under the Key Bridge on Wednesday morning to launch Sailabration, a weeklong festival that is part of Maryland's War of 1812 bicentennial commemoration.
Shortly before 9 a.m. Tuesday, Pride and a handful of other vessels set off from Norfolk's Town Point Park for a 24-hour sail to Baltimore, Pride's home port.
The sewing project was one more chore among many aboard the 157-foot schooner.
Capt. Jan Miles and his 11-member crew had been working without a break since early morning. The first order of business was mopping rainwater from the ship's varnished wood surfaces.
"Taking care of this ship is a nonstop process," said deckhand Rohan Rao, 24, who used a squeegee to remove rainwater, which could damage the finish of the replica vessel.
Then came the heavy-duty work that, in 1812, would have been performed by scores of men: hauling lines to raise sails, tying knots, climbing the shrouds.
"Here we come! Baltimore!" the crew members shouted as they readied the fore topsail.
With that, Pride was underway, part of a parade of sail up the Chesapeake that included tall ships from around the world.
Before the ships left Norfolk, visitors milled around the dock, admiring the historic vessels.
"It was awesome. You only see that kind of stuff in movies," said Janice Loughrey of Pittsburgh, after watching the Colombian naval ship Gloria cast off into Norfolk's Elizabeth River.
Gloria is the crown jewel of the parade of ships set to glide under the Key Bridge around 11 a.m. Wednesday.
High above Gloria's deck, dozens of sailors in bright shirts stood at attention, balanced on the yards — stays at right angles to the mast that support the sails — as music accompanied them out to sea.
Loughrey, who traveled to Norfolk to see the ships with her husband, Roger, said the experience was "definitely" worth the trip. "It's breathtaking," she said.
Nicholas Sowko and his wife, Barbara, came from Glassport, Pa., to see the tall ships.
Barbara Sowko said she's encouraging her sister, who lives in York, Pa., to attend Sailabration in Baltimore. "I hope they do make it, because this is really nice," she said.

BEVERLY — The city is once again offering free parking in the downtown area during the holidays.
People will be able to park for free for up to two hours on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays between Thanksgiving and New Year's at any on-street or off-street metered parking spot in downtown Beverly.
The free parking is designed to encourage shoppers to patronize local businesses during the holiday season, city officials said.
Anyone who parks longer than two hours will be subject to enforcement. "Feeding" of meters or pay stations is not allowed.

Senator Calls Out House Failure on Farm Bill
U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) told the Senate Friday that milk market chaos will erupt if Congress doesn't prevent that 1949 law from going into effect in less than one week. Leahy says the failure to act on a farm bill or farm bill extension would set off a chain of events that could double the prices of milk and dairy products.
He says Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack and his staff have been literally dusting off old paper files and mimeographed notes from the 1940s and 50s to review the Agricultural Act of 1949.
Due to the lack of House action on its own bill and obstruction of the Senate bill - Leahy says the 1949 law will force the federal government to spend billions of dollars to buy and store dairy products in an effort to raise the price of milk for dairy farmers.
The law requires USDA to announce a support price for milk at no less than 75-percent of the ratio of milk prices to production costs in 1910 to 1914. November parity was 52-dollars and 10-cents for 100-pounds of milk.
The 75-percent would be 39-dollars and eight-cents - nearly four-times the current support rate and double today's market price. Leahy says higher milk prices would stimulate milk production - but also draw an influx of imported dairy products as processors in other countries would divert products to the United States.
Leahy points out USDA economists say implementing permanent dairy law would cost at least 12 to 15-billion dollars a year - not including the cost of product storage.
Basically - Leahy says USDA would have to fill every closet at USDA's building with cheddar cheese and powdered milk. He says the House leadership has driven the U.S. to the edge of the dairy cliff and is refusing to put its foot on the brake. It's a dangerous game of chicken - according to Leahy - dragging all Americans along for the ride.

Following the attacks of September 11, 2001 and the anthrax letters, the ability to detect biological threats as quickly as possible became a top priority. In 2003 the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) introduced the BioWatch program--a federal monitoring system intended to speed detection of specific biological agents that could be released in aerosolized form during a biological attack.
The present volume evaluates the costs and merits of both the current BioWatch program and the plans for a new generation of BioWatch devices. BioWatch and Public Health Surveillance also examines infectious disease surveillance through hospitals and public health agencies in the United States, and considers whether BioWatch and traditional infectious disease surveillance are redundant or complementary.

Toulouse is almost entirely built with red brick, hence its nickname, "the pink city". The city has some magnificent sights, and is characterized by a scent of violets.
Toulouse is a city in the South of France with a population of about 600,000. It is an industrial centre with a number of important companies, such as Concorde and Airbus. The Saint-Sernin Basilica, which is the biggest Romanesque church in western Europe, is certainly worth a visit. Other sights include the St. Etienne Cathedral and the Place du Capitole, with its beautiful town hall and theatre.
While you are in Toulouse, you must certainly go for a stroll around one of the many open-air markets, which are ideal if you are looking for an unforgettable souvenir. The Hôtel de Bemuy, the Musée des Augustins and the large number of private houses built in the Renaissance style are also worth a visit. Not far from Toulouse, there is the city of Carcassonne, a magnificent medieval walled city.
