Bush's heart leads him to stay in Green Bay
To hear Jarrett Bush tell it, even Don Corleone would have had a hard time coming up with a strong enough offer to convince him to sign elsewhere this offseason.
Packers sign Bush to three-year deal
Multiple media outlets are reporting that UFA CB Jarrett Bush has signed a three-year deal with the Packers.
Bush pulling weight for Packers with little fanfare
Without the same kind of recognition as Aaron Rodgers or Clay Matthews, sixth-year pro Jarrett Bush has made a definite impact up to now.
Bush provides special impact for Packers
Former whipping boy Jarrett Bush is feeling a lot more love in Green Bay after emerging into what many onlookers believe to be a Pro Bowl-caliber special-teamer.
Packers they said it: Thursday edition
PFW delivers a double dose of noteworthy quotes from the Packers' coaches and players who were available to the media throughout the week prior to departing for Dallas, where they will meet the Steelers in Super Bowl XLV.
Packers players of the week
PFW executive editor and resident Packers expert Dan Arkush selects Green Bay's players of the week on offense, defense and special teams in the team's Week Nine victory over the Cowboys.
Cornerback and special teams ace Jarrett Bush has agreed to a three-year deal to return to the Green Bay Packers, according to his agent. Agent Derrick Fox says Bush agreed to return to the Packers after making free agent visits to Arizona and the New York Jets. Fox says Bush wanted to be with the Packers the whole time, and only would have left if he had been offered the chance to start.||||||| Bush has played in 94 regular season games for the Packers since 2006, with seven career starts. He has three career interceptions, including two last season.
The Green Bay Packers matched an offer sheet from the Tennessee Titans on Bush.||||||| Bush has been with the Packers for three seasons, mostly in a backup role. He played in 16 games last season and finished second on the team with 17 special teams tackles.
Tennessee signed restricted free agent cornerback Bush to an offer sheet Friday, giving the Green Bay Packers seven days to either match the contract or allow him to go to the Titans.||||||| Bush has one start in 46 games in three seasons with the Packers. He would provide depth to a Titans secondary that lost Eric King to free agency and could lose Chris Carr to free agency.

Solr Autcomplete, part 4 (Ngram and faceting)
In the previous parts of autocomplete series we presented two methods of autocomplete queries. Than we extended one of those with the ability to define returned information. In today's entry we are back to autocomplete with facet and ngram.
Our autocomplete mechanism has the following requirements:
- We return whole phrase, not just s single word
- Returned phrase can be present multiple times in the index
- We want to know the number of results for the returned phrase
- Common phrases should be shown higher than the less common ones
- Order of words entered by the user doesn't matter
Solution given in the first part of the series will not met the requirements because of the first requirement. Of course we could change analysis type, but we wouldn't return the whole phrase.
Solution to the above requirements is the modified faceting method. Instead of searching all the elements and narrowing results with facet.prefix parameter, we can search only for those elements that have the word fragment we are looking for. We don't want wildcard query to be used (because of performance) we call ngram's for the rescue. This means we need to write the ngrams into the index (of course Solr will do that for us). The obvious flaw is the index size growth, but in this case we can live with that.
We define an additional type:
<fieldType name="text_autocomplete" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"> <analyzer type="index"> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter minGramSize="1" maxGramSize="25" /> </analyzer> <analyzer type="query"> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> </fieldType>
We also define additional fields: one which value we plan to return and one which will be used for searching:
<field name="tag_autocomplete" type="text_autocomplete" indexed="true" stored="true" omitNorms="true" omitTermFreqAndPositions="true"/> <field name="tag" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" />
And one copyField to make things easier:
<copyField source="tag" dest="tag_autocomplete"/>
After indexation we are ready to test our queries:
- We are narrowing results, only to those which have the interesting word fragment in the tag_autocomplete field, with: q=tag_autocomplete:(PHRASE)
- We need all the fragments entered by the user, so we use AND as our logical operator: q.op=AND
- We not interested in the actual query results, we will use data returned by faceting, so we say: rows=0
- We need faceting: facet=true
- We need faceting on the field where we store the original phrase: facet.field=tag
- We are not interested in empty tags: facet.mincount=1
- We are only interested in 5 autocomplete values: facet.limit=5
And the final query:
If we will configure out search handler to include all the constant parameters, we will have the following query:
At the end
The basic virtue of the presented method is the ability to use one field for searching and other for returning results. Because of that, we were able to return the whole phrase instead of a single word.

I'm a newbie for java. I'm working on birt reporting with php-java-bridge with zend server.
I have a lot of jar files to be added to the class path. Those jars are in a folder and lots of jar files are in sub folders.
I tried adding them one by one. But I guess there is a smarter way.
Can somebody help me please?

The Hooper Avenue section of Toms River could soon feel the warm island air and dine on Caribbean-inspired food when Bahama Breeze comes to town.
"It has been approved by the town planning board," said township planner Jay Lynch. "But the company is going through compliance resolution, which means there are still some more approvals it needs to receive in order to receive the proper permits."
No timeline has been set for the project's start or completion, but Lynch said it has been approved for a liquor license.
It's going to be a pad site on the Ocean County Mall property, on the southwest side jughandle by Hooper and Bay avenues, Lynch said. "They're going to redesign the parking in the immediate area of the new building. The planning board needed to determine if the site would have sufficient parking, and it does."
Toms River will mark the fourth Bahama Breeze location within New Jersey. Currently there are locations in Wayne, Woodbridge and Cherry Hill.
Darden Restaurants owns Bahama Breeze, Red Lobster, LongHorn Steakhouse, Olive Garden, The Capital Grille, Seasons 52 and Eddie V's. Hooper Avenue is already home to Red Lobster and Olive Garden, which are within feet of each other, and Bahama Breeze would make Darden's third restaurant within a mile of each other in Toms River.
"As Bahama Breeze continues to grow, our real estate teams are constantly looking for sites across the country," said Hunter Robinson, manager, media relations and communications at Bahama Breeze. However, Robinson said he could not comment on any specific plans until the project has received the necessary approvals.
Pat Burson, account executive at Ryan & Ryan PR Inc., who handles , said the mall is not releasing any information about prospective tenants, but looks forward to future projects.
The mall currently has one liquor license spot inside the mall vacant, after the abrupt departure of and , which shared a license. The Bahama Breeze license was bought from downtown restaurant Jimmy C's, which sold its license last winter.
Bahama Breeze would be a pad site built outside the mall on a section that is currently remote parking near JC Penney and Macy's. Mall events such as an outdoor carnival would have less of an area to set up, should the plans be approved.
The Bahama Breeze menu focuses on island fare such as coconut shrimp, jerk chicken and tropical drinks.
The first Bahama Breeze opened its doors in 1996 in Orlando, Fla., and now operates 24 restaurants nationally. Darden Restaurants bills itself as the nation's largest casual dining restaurant company.
The Bahama Breeze restaurant pad would be the third pad site at the Ocean County Mall. The other two, and , are on the northwest corner of the mall on Oak and Hooper avenues.

Falcons QB Matt Ryan's decision to make getting stronger a top priority of his in the offseason was not intended to only help him get the ball downfield with greater authority. The bulked-up fifth-year quarterback believes he is also more durable in the pocket and better equipped to deal with the wear and tear in the late stages of the season.
Given some of the concerns about his offensive line, it seemed like a very sensible strategy for Ryan to employ.
The O-line still has to prove it will not be the weak link of the offense, but we hear the Falcons are confident that the protection for Ryan is not going to be as big of an issue as it was at the start of last season. At the outset of the 2011 campaign, C Todd McClure was out recovering from knee surgery and ORG Garrett Reynolds was thrust into a starting role for the first time after a lockout-shortened offseason. Ryan was sacked 13 times in the first three games, and he committed turnovers at an uncharacteristically high rate.
The Falcons are healthy up front heading into 2012, and we hear the team thinks OLT Sam Baker, who suffered through health issues and lost his starting job in '11, is ready to have his best season.
If Ryan takes fewer hits early and his added strength has its intended effect late in the season, Atlanta's offense could be well positioned to make the deep playoff run it craves.

The Saints will be without a weapon on Sunday against the Jets. Wide receiver Marques Colston is inactive for the game against New York, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Colston has been battling a knee injury and was listed as questionable on the Saints injury report.
Colston participated in just one practice this week. He was limited on Thursday but was absent from the field for the rest of Week 9's practices. The knee injury occurred during the Saints Week 8 win over the Bills. Sunday will be the first game that Colston has missed all season.
The former seventh-round pick has been a huge part of the Saints offense for eight seasons. This year, Colston has collected 27 catches for 342 receiving yards and a touchdown. With him out of the lineup, rookie Kenny Stills will see more targets and running back Darren Sproles should get more touches in the passing game.
On the other side of the field, the Jets will be without tight end Jeff Cumberland and wide receiver Santonio Holmes on Sunday. Holmes has been out of the lineup since Week 4.

Carver, Westwood and Northside high schools say they will not just be an annoying splinter to local representatives but a cohesive two-by-four when it comes to fighting to keep their schools opened.
In April, Interim Superintendent Dorsey Hopson suggested closing 11 underutilized Memphis schools to save money.
"Save Carver High School" members met Thursday night, hoping Hopson would attend so they could discuss their own proposal to keep the schools open. Pastor Ralph White says Hopson texted him Thursday night that he missed his flight back to Memphis and could not attend.
Neighborhood rallies to save Carver High
In the group's proposal, they suggest merging some Carver schools such as the high school and junior high school or moving both elementary schools to the middle school. White says they also suggest expanding the Carver schools' boundaries to bring more students to the area.
The group, made up of parents, educators and even community members, says it will make sure its proposal is heard because members add it's unfair that they were not consulted in the first place about which schools should close.
"Thirteen schools in the county come under the same criteria as the schools we've picked out in the city. But we had 13 schools in the county: Not one has been closed," says White, "So we may have to look at legal ramifications."
State Representative G.A. Hardaway (D-Memphis) did attend Thursday's meeting to show his support, but White says it is a challenge to have local government officials attend. He says city and county officials tell him they will not attend because the meetings are all "talk and rhetoric;" White adds they have rescheduled meetings to accommodate their schedules but the councilmen and commissioners still have other meetings come up.
White says it's a display that the system does not care about the schools and have not for some time. He is calling on the community to groom their own candidate that will do what the will of the people to take the place of current elected officials.

In the past we have shared little projective tests to learn a little something about yourself.
In this edition of "Ask Dr. Joy" we will do something from the Japanese Kokology self discovery books. So back by popular demand, we will try one of these projective inventories and see how closely they target your inner thoughts and beliefs and tell a little bit about you.
Imagine you are walking outside and a sudden hard rain begins. You realize that no matter what, you are at least 5 minutes from your destination...so which best describes your plan of action.
1. I'll find a tree or an awning to stand under until it stops raining.
2. I don't know how long it will keep raining, so I'll run as fast as I can to my next destination.
3. I'm going to look for someone with an umbrella I can share, or a store that will have an umbrella to purchase.
4. I always have an umbrella in my bag when I go out, so no worries.
The storm is an unpredictable & unforeseen trauma in your life. This relates to how you would respond to a flight between you and a friend.
1. I'll find a tree or awning to stand under and wait for the rain to stop:
- You are the kind that waits for the other person to calm down before you try to settle a fight. You typically would let the other person rant and rave, and then let them cool down before you present your thoughts calmly. Some would say this is smart and some would say this is a little sneaky
2. I don't know how long it will rain, so I'll just run and go for it.
- You don't care about the end result of the fight as much as talking your mind. Give and take is not typically in your plan of action and if they yell, you yell louder. People always know where you stand even if you are scary to fight with.
3. I'd see if there is someone with an umbrella or Ill look for one to buy.
- You don't like conflicts or confrontations so you try to smooth things over and calm the other person. Unfortunately sometimes it just makes someone madder.
4. I always have an umbrella in my bag when I go out.
- You think you have an answer for every situation and a reason for every concern. To you arguments are seen as opportunities to enjoy the debate. Others see you as frustrating and insincere.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
"I wanted the audience to feel like the people who read Gatsby in the twenties," said director Baz Luhrmann during yesterday's intimate luncheon and discussion of The Great Gatsby at the New York Public Library. "Back then, it was dangerous and of the moment." Following a string of stylish events and a splashy New York premiere worthy of any Fitzgerald novel, the event was a scholarly affair hosted by Anna Wintour, NYPL President Tony Marx, and editor in chief of The New Yorker, David Remnick. The latter moderated a Q&A with the film's star-studded cast and crew.
Just steps from the library's trove of Fitzgerald first editions, the film's stars, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher, and Carey Mulligan (DiCaprio was absent), offered insight into playing some of literature's most memorable characters. "Daisy became a cocktail of a lot of research," revealed Mulligan, who plumbed Princeton's archives for the author's intimate correspondence with muses Zelda Fitzgerald and Ginevra King. "I fell in love with these two women. The more I read their words, the more real Daisy became." Fisher, who plays the down-on-her-luck Myrtle Wilson, admitted that her character's capricious tendencies were hardly far-fetched. "I often play a floozy," the Australian starlet deadpanned in a Chloé ensemble.
But perhaps the keenest observation came from the film's scorer, Jay-Z, who was the first to see a rough cut. "We went to lunch afterward, and Jay told me, 'The thing about this movie is that it's aspirational,'" recalled Luhrmann. "I think he really nailed it. With Gatsby, everybody thinks of the parties, the fashion, and the champagne. I do hope the movie has a lot of razzle-dazzle, but ultimately it's a book about hope."

News: Suge Knight Arrested In Los Angeles, Thrown Behind Bars On $20K Bail
Wednesday, Sep 11, 2013 10:05AM
Former Death Row Records owner Marion "Suge" Knight is making headlines this week after being arrested in Los Angeles courtesy of a recently issued warrant.
According to reports, the arrest went down early Wednesday (September 11) morning.
LAPD cops noticed Suge straddling 2 lanes at around 12:30 as he tooled along in his truck ... which had no license plates. The Death Row Records founder was pulled over and police quickly determined he was stone cold sober ... which was good. Here's the problem. It seems Suge didn't appear in court for one of those pesky crimes of driving on a suspended license, so a warrant was issued for his arrest. So Suge was chauffeured to a nearby jail in the back of a black and white. He's still there ... on $20k bail. (TMZ)
Last year, Suge ran into legal problems with law enforcement out in Las Vegas.
Stop us if you've heard this one before: Suge Knight's in trouble again. The erstwhile Death Row Records impresario was popped in Las Vegas on Wednesday for drug possession during a routine traffic stop. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police tell E! News that Knight (full name Marion Knight Jr.) was pulled over at approximately 5:30 p.m. yesterday when he made an unsafe lane change. Officers ran his name through the system and discovered that he had several bench warrants out for his arrest. (E! Online)
He recently created some significant buzz after reuniting with ex-Death Row Records artist Snoop Dogg.
Look how happy Snoop is! The Doggfather-turned-Lion Man reportedly ran into his old Death Row Records label chief Suge Knight at the A.V. Club on Monday night. The above photo was snapped and uploaded to Snoop's Instagram with the caption: "N d club wit Suge miss those death row days!" The photo sent a ripple through Snoop's fanbase, with some people torn over their rekindled friendship. (Many still conspire that Knight is accountable for fellow Death Row artist 2Pac's 1996 passing and that of the Notorious B.I.G. the next year.) (VIBE)
Snoop later admitted he wanted to be a bigger man and finally put an end to their distanced relationship.
"I think time heals all wounds," Snoop said in an interview. "And then being a bigger man and being one who accepts responsibility and right or wrong, I like saving lives, I don't like to take lives. If that means putting my hand out saying I'm wrong, I apologize and we be cool, I'll do that as opposed to me going behind my back, pulling a gun out and getting somebody or me doing something vicious to you."

Anytime Lionel Messi scores a goal it feels historic. After all, each goal is just another in a career of the world's greatest player who could be the greatest player to ever play the sport when all is said and done. When he does it in the UEFA Champions League final for what proves to be the game-winning goal at Wembley Stadium, it's even more historic. When it ties a Champions League record, well that's just extra special and then some.
Messi's goal on Saturday gave him 12 for the competition, tying him with Ruud van Nistelrooy for the most in any single Champions League. For all of the greats to play in the world's biggest club competition, none has ever scored more in one tournament than Messi. His 12 goals may not be as amazing as van Nistelrooy's considering that when the Dutchman did it in 2002-2003 his team only made it to the quarterfinals so he played three fewer matches than Messi, but Messi is still out of this world. Just another incredible record for the diminutive Argentine who may be the most incredible to ever step on a football pitch.

BEVERLY — Democrat Jerry Parisella rode his hometown roots and nice-guy reputation to a resounding victory over Republican newcomer Brett Schetzsle yesterday in the race for state representative.
Parisella, a 47-year-old lawyer, swept all 12 of the city's precincts to win by more than 3,000 votes and earn a 60-40 margin of victory.
"Wow, what do I say?" Parisella remarked as a crowd of about 70 supporters at the Italian Community Center chanted, "Dominate, dominate." "I couldn't have done this without all of you."
Parisella staved off a determined challenge from Schetzsle, a 33-year-old marketing manager and Indiana native who moved to Beverly three years ago.
Schetzsle announced his candidacy more than a year ago and resigned his job at Gillette in August to devote full time to his campaign. He revived a near-dormant Beverly Republican City Committee, outspent Parisella and tweeted nearly 1,000 messages on his campaign website.
Ultimately, however, he was unable to overcome the hometown support of Parisella, who comes from a large extended family, works for a well-known Beverly law firm, and has volunteered for the YMCA, Kiwanis Club and various other civic groups.
"Realistically I knew it was an uphill fight against Jerry," Schetzsle said as he held one of his 11-month-old twin daughters, Elliot, at his campaign headquarters on Cabot Street.
"We fought that fight the right way. We ended up with 40 percent of the vote, and it's been a long time since a Republican has polled 40 percent of the vote here."
Parisella will succeed Mary Grant, the Democratic incumbent who opted not to run for re-election after eight years in office. Grant showed up at Parisella's victory party to congratulate him and to "bequeath" him two large signs advertising the annual ice cream social she has hosted as part of Beverly Homecoming.
"These are yours now," she said.
Schetzsle was hoping to capitalize on Scott Brown's Senate victory last January in which Beverly voters supported the Republican. Schetzsle said it was time for a "new voice" on Beacon Hill for the city, which has not had a Republican state representative in 20 years.
Earlier in the day at North Beverly School in Ward 5, John Monaco said he voted for Schetzsle because it was time for a change.
"We need some fresh blood across the board," said Monaco, a 36-year-old police officer at Harvard University. "Nothing against the other guy, but I'm sick of living in a one-party state."
But Parisella supporters said their candidate's reputation and hometown ties were a tough combination to beat.
"Jerry ran a great campaign. He stayed positive," Enrico Miranda said. "Even today he was walking the streets, going door to door. He was nonstop."
Miranda said he has known Parisella and his family since Miranda moved from Italy when he was 10 years old. It wasn't just name recognition that carried Parisella, he said, but reputation.
"If people don't like you, they won't vote for you," Miranda said. "People know what he's all about. He's an honest, trustworthy person."
Parisella's family support was on display last night when one of his three brothers, Jimmy, a musician, grabbed his guitar and sang a song he had written for the campaign.
As Jerry Parisella swayed to the music with his 6-year-old daughter, Sophia, resting on his shoulder, the crowd cheered such lines as, "Jerry Parisella, his reputation is stellar," and "Jerry Parisella, he is one talented fella."
Schetzsle called Parisella on his cell phone to congratulate him. The candidates were cordial and polite to each other in two debates, but the campaign had its negative moments.
Schetzsle accused Parisella of a possible conflict of interest for accepting campaign donations from a developer, and he sent out a campaign mailing saying Parisella would treat the state representative's job as a "$62,000 part-time gig."
Parisella criticized Schetzsle for saying he was on leave from Gillette when in fact he had resigned due to a company policy that prohibits employees from running for office.
More than an hour after the polls closed, Schetzsle stood holding his daughter in his campaign headquarters as about 20 supporters looked over the results and Beverly Republican City Chairman Andrew Channell highlighted Republican gains.
"We're proud of the campaign we ran," Schetzsle said. "We stuck to the issues. We gave people here a credible alternative for the first time in a very long time."
Schetzsle said he got more votes than Kerry Healey did in her first run for state representative in Beverly. Healey went on to become lieutenant governor and a candidate for governor.
Asked about his future in politics, Schetzsle said, "I'm not going anywhere. This is home for us."

If I had been the original poster, I think a bunch of you would have piled on me and told me "that's not acceptable for web viewing, it's not worthy" !!!
Wouldn't it have been better to just leave the camera at the highest native ISO and underexposed it? I got told that a lot too...yet I didn't see where any of you said that. I admit I didn't read every post.
I clearly stated in the original post that it was an experimental shot that was specifically designed to play with highest extended ISO capture. I did my best to control the light, shared with everyone the basic setup and export parameters, and also uploaded the CR2 raw files so the community can chime in. When programs and tweaks were suggested, it was pursued with an open mind. Many of us repeatedly acknowledged it was experimental and a learning tool. And, speaking for myself, I really learned from others in this process.
Isn't that one of the useful purposes of a community such as ours?
No need to get defensive, my question wasn't directed at you, but rather the people who like to critique. I never thought it was anything other than an experiment, and I read that part...just saying sometimes it seems like criticism isn't always as productive as it could be, or as egalitarian. I don't disagree with most everything suggested, and I am trying to learn also...which is why I asked my second question. Sorry if I shouldn't have posted what I did.
If I had been the original poster, I think a bunch of you would have piled on me and told me "that's not acceptable for web viewing, it's not worthy" !!!
If you were the original poster, we would have accused you of stealing Ray's cat
Haha, good point! No need, I have my own cat...and no, this is the opposite of the best picture I've shot of him...I may put some better ones in the thread about cat pictures.

Huzzah!!! :)
I think I'm finally getting better! I left the house today for the first time in 8 days. I actually had enough energy to run a couple errands & cook a meal that was NOT soup. I even have enough brain to do some chores & homework before bed. Huzzah!!! :)
Also, I'm making myself a decaf affogato to sip while I grade student papers. Perhaps with a very small dash of Four Roses in it. BECAUSE.

Not long ago, South Georgia video stores would be packed on a Friday night with folks renting movies, but that business is changing.
Last month, Blockbuster Video shut down 300 stores nationwide, including the one in Albany.
The manager at Video Warehouse on Old Dawson says business there increased after its competitor shut down.
She says it's tougher for movie rental stores to make it these days, but some people still like to rent movies in person.
"Sometimes when you stream movies you have to have a Playstation or Xbox or some type of new technology and some people don't care to upgrade as fast," said Ashley Mcghee.
Dish Network bought Blockbuster in 2011.
500 stores remain open in the US.

text: Nursery Room Color Inspiration How to Pick the Most Soothing Nursery Room Colors by Sarah Lipoff 8/21/12 2 Reactions 13 Shares Print 0 5 8 0 0 A nursery should be a calm oasis for both mom and tot, so picking a paint color is more than just a random decision. Not sure how to make it calm? Glidden makes it easy with its Brilliance Collection of paints. From dark brown to minty green, the collection's colors were carefully selected by Glidden's own director of color marketing, Barbara Richardson, to ensure parents can pick the most soothing colors for their baby's room. Along with including classic baby colors, the hues are balanced with unexpected options that make picking the right color for your tot's room a bit more creative, but still geared to baby. And these colors are made to stand the test of time, growing with your lil one over the years. Click through to find the perfect color for your future nursery as well as a few items we feel complement the painted walls. Celery Sticks What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 There's nothing more soothing than a lovely soft green, and this color is wonderfully unisex, perfect for parents keeping baby's gender a surprise until the big day. Richardson suggests using the wall color to set the stage for the room and then personalize the space as much or as little as you'd like. Continue the cool with similarly colored items, like one of these rocking chairs ($110) or a shades of green mobile ($35). 1 / 6 Bubblegum Pink and Iced Purple What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Used alone or together, these colors are meant to soothe your little one. Sticking close with tradition, pink and purple work wonderfully together for a baby girl's room, or go with purple for a unisex nursery. Accent either color with a soft and cozy rich purple baby blanket ($26) or add an additional pop of color with original wall art ($9). 2 / 6 Spring Bluebell and Early Morning Yellow What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This shade of blue is just bright enough to work for either a boy or girl. Add a yellow accent wall, or use it all on its own for a cheery nursery. Flexibility is key with this collection from Glidden. Yellow and blue are contrasting colors, which means they play off of each other nicely. Play up the yellow, or accent the blue, with a sweet mod stuffed giraffe ($20). Or create a soft yellow glow with a cat lamp ($79). 3 / 6 Sweet Baby Boy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This color is all boy and also one of the more classic colors of the collection, which Richardson feels will satisfy the family that wishes to take a more traditional route. This shade of blue sets a stage for the room, creating a canvas to personalize as much as you'd like. Add fun wall art, like this happy whale print ($12), or a bit of whimsy with a cute monkey carpet ($149). 4 / 6 Sweet Baby Girl and Walnut Bark What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Another traditional color, this pink is perfect for any brand-new baby girl. Toss in a dark brown accent wall to create a modern feel. Or use the color as a feature wall with neutral paint for a gender-free room. Play up the brown with a comfortable rocker ($799) that will help lull your babe to sleep while cozy in your arms, or top a dresser with this cute lamp ($45). 6 / 6 Mint Shake and Rich Navy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Here are two colors you might not have considered for your new nursery but are fitting together or separate. The dark blue can be used for pops of color or stand on its own for a bold statement. A minty green is fitting for a boy or girl and can be personalized with fabrics and accessories. Richardson suggests using the navy as a feature wall with other walls painted to fit the baby. In later years, more navy can be added along with updated accessories. Here's a colorful artwork ($25) that works with either paint color. Or stick with dark blue and wrap baby up in this seriously soft baby blanket ($16). 6 / 6 0 5 8 0 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More Kid ShoppingNursery DecorNurseryPaintDecorBaby Baby The 10 Pictures You'll Want to Take of Your Tots Each Month 5 hours ago How to Sanitize and Store Your Baby Stuff For Round Two 2 days ago The Rarely Heard Dad's Tale of Breast vs. Bottle 2 days ago Prepare Yourself!

IIRC, the DxOMark website says (somewhere) that their sensor scores can only be used to compare sensors of the same resolution (MP). So, first decide the resolution of sensor you are interested in (need), then compare sensors of that resolution.
It's a great point, and thanks for mentioning it!
@dtaylor, it's at the bottom of this linked page, which is easily accesed from the About tab. Of course, that page also states, "Sensor Overall Score AND resolution are two independent metrics of sensor performance." Since the Sensor Overall Score is based on image data normalized to a fixed resolution (8 MP), and since the greater the resolution of the sensor relative to that fixed value, the greater the differential impact of that normalization, that would seem to make the Sensor Overall Score a dependent measure, not an independent measure. But it's been a while since I took basic statistics, so maybe they've changed the definition of an independent measure since then...
@tnargs, if anything, that just makes the main point of post #1 even stronger. If DxO truly means that you can only use their scores to compare sensors of similar resolution, that make their results even more meaningless in the real world. Furthermore, that begs the question - why normalize at all, if you can only compare sensors of simlar resolutions, normalization is moot.
BTW, putting it in big bold type on every page wouldn't help. They put big, black Speed Limit signs on all the roads, ho many people actually drive the speed limit or below?

Paralympics inspires Blackburn school to open doors to students with learning difficulties
5:00pm Tuesday 13th November 2012 in Blackburn
INSPIRED by this year's Paralympic games, a Blackburn school has opened its doors to students with learning difficulties.
A sporting partnership between students at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School and Longshaw Primary Special School in Blackburn has been formed as part of the school's Olympic legacy scheme.
Since the start of the new academic year, eight pupils and carers from the school have attended the West Park Road school for two hours every Thursday morning.
QEGS provides minibus transport to and from their school in Blackburn and pupils from the sixth form use the opportunity to bond, talk and get to know the children through adapted sports and sensory events.
Mark Butler, director of PE and games, said: "I am amazed and astonished by the impact this experience is having.
"Not only on the Longshaw pupils, whose enthusiasm and cheery smiles offer a permanent feel good factor, but in particular on our students.
"Carers have said the visit to QEGS is the highlight of the week for their children."

Residents in South Fulton are mourning the loss of a standout high school football player who collapsed on the field and later died.
It happened Friday night during a scrimmage between Creekside High School and Banneker High School.
The official autopsy showed 16-year-old DeAntre Turman, a junior at Creekside High, died from a broken neck. His third cervical vertebra was fractured, according the Fulton County medical examiner's office.
DeAntre's uncle, Kenneth Turman, told CBS Atlanta that it was just a regular hit.
"He tackled the guy. It was just a hard hit - regular hit that he's made 1,000 times," Kenneth Turman said.
But after the tackle he didn't get up. DeAntre was having breathing problems and was taken by ambulance to the ER.
DeAntre's uncle said the family rushed to the hospital, only to be told DeAntre didn't make it.
It was an absolute shock to the family considering his fitness level. They said he always passed his physicals, and he was only getting bigger and better.
In fact, he was doing so well his uncle said that he was already being scouted and had his sights set on the University of Kentucky.
"The special ones, you can tell it, but you don't have to tell them they're good. He was one of those, he knew he was good," said Kenneth Turman.
That makes this an even bigger loss for Creekside High School.
Even though one of their star players won't be on the field this year, the Turman family said they still plan on being in the stands.
"I'm going to continue to support Creekside. That team needs to be supported, and I think that's what Tre would have wanted," said Kenneth Turman.

Neuro Science
Now, I'll bet you find yourself asking, "What is a connectome?"
A connectome is a comprehensive map of the neural connections in the brain of a given species.
In it's ultimate form, it's every single connection of every single neuron in the entire brain.
In the human brain this is a complexity that is simply mind boggling!
According to various estimates, the human cerebral cortex (aka "The Gray Matter") consists of at least 10^10 neurons with the entire brain at about 10^11. These neurons are then linked together by between 10^15 and 10^14 synaptic connections.
In comparison, the observable universe contains about 3 to 7 × 10^22 stars. (1 Billion = 10^9), and the entire human genome contains only about 25.000 genes!
Now if every synaptic connection could be represented by a single byte (which it can't), it would take somewhere between 100 Terabytes and 1 Petabyte of data to store the connectome of the human brain.
The video link below gives a good visual understanding of the structure of the human brain. Zooming in from macro to micro structure, covering the low level function of single neurons and their intertwined activity through neuronal connections (synapses).
Regarding the state of present and future research in connectomics, Professor Sebastian Seung explains it all passionately in the TED|VID below.
He also puts forth the proposition that: "I Am My Connectome" and continues to speculates on the possibility of "Man's Resurrection ;)". Or to put it a little more precisely, wether the connectomes of the people, who have chosen to been frozen in liquid nitrogen after their death, still remains intact?
(The real question of interest, to me however, is still when we'll se the dawn of the ever elusive NPU's? )

Just when we were feeling drought-stressed, the weather forecast turned to rain.

ROOST plans Olympic tie-ins
LAKE PLACID — This year's Winter Olympic Games should help boost Lake Placid area tourism, says Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism President James McKenna.
McKenna recently told the Essex County Board of Supervisors that a 9-by-12-foot LED TV, often called a Jumbotron, will be placed in the park in downtown Lake Placid to show NBC's Olympics coverage Feb. 6 to 23 from Sochi, Russia.
"Spectators can watch the competition in Sochi every day," ROOST Communications Director Kimberly Rielly said in an interview. "The Olympic Flame Cauldron will be next to it and lit every day. It's a neat place to be during the competition."
Lake Placid was home to both the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics but so far hasn't lured the games back for another run.
"We think all that continues to keep the connection with Essex County and the Olympic Games," McKenna told supervisors.
ROOST, a private, not-for-profit group formerly known as the Lake Placid-Essex County Visitors Bureau, has released its 2014 Essex County Strategic Sales and Marketing Plan, McKenna said.
The tourism agency gets more than $1 million annually from Essex County's 3 percent lodging tax, to be used to advertise and promote the county to visitors.
McKenna said the ski season hasn't cranked up to full speed yet around Lake Placid, but more snow would help.
"Looking at the winter season, we're still waiting for the snow. It still is a little difficult. In metropolitan areas, where it's wetter and warmer than here, people aren't thinking winter sports."
Once the Olympics begin, that may change, he said.
Most of the occupancy-tax money collected by Essex County is from Lake Placid, and most of it is spent to promote that area, something the market plan also reflects.
The plan has three program goals for Essex County: help Lake Placid become an 11-month tourism community, help "surrounding communities" become tourism destinations and attract private tourism investment and be an advocate for tourism issues.
The report says traditional print media forms of advertising have declined, and the Internet is now how people research and plan vacations.
"Our office has steadily seen an increase in the importance of web-based marketing to reach our target audience. In addition, new data continues to suggest that traditional channels of marketing will continue to decline since the Internet has grown to become the primary communications mechanism across the board."
Social media marketing on Facebook and Google+ are growing, the report says.
Leisure travel marketing has five steps, according to Google's travel industry branch: dreaming about a trip, researching it, booking it, having the experience, then sharing it via social media.
Google says that something it calls ZMOT — the Zero Moment of Truth — occurs when the decision is made during the research process.
ROOST says the websites they own are where most of that research is done.
McKenna said their main website, lakeplacid.com, had 1.2 million visits in 2013, up 33 percent over 2012.
"That's a pretty dramatic increase," Supervisor Roby Politi (R-North Elba) said at the meeting. "It's a pretty good indication our web coverage is good."
The web lures used by ROOST include: keyword strategy, blogging, website content updates, press releases and video and photo updates.
The changes for 2014 are to bring more content, like blogging, search ranking campaigns and website management, in-house. ROOST has previously contracted out for many of those items.
The agency will also try to expand use of its online booking engine and will offer more vacation packages to visitors. Ski and golf packages have been especially popular, the report says.
Efforts toward destination management will include a recreational plan for what ROOST calls "the five southern Adirondack towns:" Newcomb, Minerva, North Hudson, Long Lake and Indian Lake.
Long Lake and Indian Lake are in Hamilton County, where ROOST is taking over tourism promotion this year.
Mobile websites, specially written web pages intended for display on mobile devices like iPhones and iPads, will be utilized more this year, along with visitor services offices in Lake Placid and Saranac Lake.
ROOST says it will beef up support for regional visitor offices, like those at chambers of commerce.
Instead of printing brochures, ROOST has published a visitor handbook for its coverage area, but the agency will evaluate how many visitors take and use those books.
It will also print and distribute travel posters around the region that include smartphone-scannable codes that will take the user to a mobile website.
"Once people are here, it (the posters) will support their visitor experience," Rielly said.
Social networks that allow visitors to post photos and reviews are also important to follow, the plan says.
"In 2014, our staff will continue to promote our quarterly subjects via social networks, in addition to garnering more friends, fans and followers. Each staff member will also play a greater role in promoting regional activities; sharing and plussing pages on the site."
ROOST has set topics for each quarter, such as fishing, biking, hiking, skiing, and so on.
The agency's 2014 revenue is predicted at $2.3 million, with $1.9 million of that from the Essex County bed tax, $93,000 in travel commissions and $70,000 in I Love New York matching funds. Smaller amounts are added from product sales and Internet programs.
The agency's largest expense is in payroll, $850,000, with $230,000 in employee medical insurance and benefits, $173,000 in media advertising, $125,000 in Internet e-marketing and $122,000 in event coordination, for a total of $2.3 million spent.
And it's money well used by ROOST, Board of Supervisors Chair Randy Douglas (D-Jay) told McKenna.
"I congratulate you," Douglas said. "Your efforts are very noteworthy."

Elana Meyers began the sport of bobsled in 2007, making the national team her rookie season. In 2008 she won her first World Cup medal, a bronze with driver Shauna Rohbock. She followed the performance with a gold medal at the inaugural World Cup in Whistler, Canada. At the 2009 World Championships, Meyer pushed with driver Shauna Rohbock to win silver, and won the 2010 Olympic bronze medal with pilot Erin Pac in Whistler. Since the Games, Meyers has moved into the driver's seat, and has been selected by the coaching staff as an emerging elite pilot. Meyers currently is serving as an Athlete Director on the USBSF Board of Directors.
Meyers graduated from George Washington University in Washington D.C. in 2011 with a master's degree in Sports Management after finishing her B.S. in Exercise Science at George Washington in 2007. While at George Washington she played shortstop and pitcher for the softball team. Meyers was named to the ECAC Division I softball All-Star team in July 2007 for leading the Colonials to their first ever Atlantic 10 Tournament appearance with a game-winning grand slam in her final home game. In addition to bobsled, Meyers also plays for the Mid-Michigan Ice, a professional softball team based in Midland, Michigan. She is now studying Business Administration at DeVry University.

It must haunt Dirk Nowitzki to visit the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena, the site of the Dallas Mavericks' greatest losses (the Miami Heat's American Airlines Center excepted). But he showed no signs of fear in leading the Mavs to a 112-106 victory in Oakland on Wednesday.
Dirk scored 34 points on 10-22 shooting, with 12 coming in the crucial fourth. Dallas actually trailed by as many as 18 in the first half, and by seven with seven minutes remaining. But the Mavericks went on a 15-0 run over four minutes; Nowitzki scored eight of those himself. Golden State couldn't recover.
Golden State scored rather efficiently all night long; Monta Ellis shot 10-20 for 26 points, and David Lee hit 10-14 for 22. But as is usually the case, those same scorers gave up big nights to their opponents; Lee couldn't handle Nowitzki, and Rodrigue Beaubois shredded Ellis for 18 points of his own, on 7-11 shooting. Beaubois, a lightning quick Caribbean guard, also had four steals; there was a stretch in the first quarter during which Ellis committed three consecutive turnovers, the first two of which were steals by Beaubois and the third of which was forced by Rodrigue.
In other action:
Nuggets 102, Hawks 87: Denver isn't just winning without Carmelo Anthony -- the Nuggets are killing playoff teams. Nene dropped 20 points on Al Horford, and Atlanta's three-guard lineup failed as the Hawks shot just 41 percent from the floor.
Pistons 107, Raptors 93: Rip Hamilton scored a game-high 24. Anyone else think the Pistons would be in a legit race for the final playoff spot had Rip and John Kuester settled their differences earlier and Hamilton would have played all along?
Magic 93, Bucks 89 (OT): Milwaukee made the Magic sweat. Jameer Nelson got caught by Brandon Jennings with the Magic up three and just seconds remaining in regulation, as Jennings managed to slip into the act of shooting as Nelson fouled him. Jennings hit all three free throws. But Dwight Howard was on a rampage, and Hedo Turkoglu took over in overtime.
Hornets 100, Suns 95: Chris Paul is still bangin'; is it rude to say that the concussion seemed to spark him pretty well? Paul had 26 points and nine assists. Steve Nash is still ailing badly, though. Someone hit him in the head!
Rockets 94, Bobcats 78: Houston's offense wasn't exactly on point, but it hardly needs to be against the Bobcats these days. Charlotte makes the Big Ten look like arena football.
Jazz 119, Wolves 104: Well C.J. Miles, check out that 40 points you just scored! Miles went 14-18 from the floor and six of seven from beyond the arc.
Cavaliers 97, Kings 93: Beno Udrih couldn't guard a crosswalk, despite his best intentions. Ramon Sessions, decidedly more dangerous than a crosswalk, ripped off 20 points on 10-15 shooting as Cleveland earned a road win. It's actually possible that the Kings -- not the Cavs -- would finish with the NBA's worst record. And the Cavs lost 26 straight!
76ers 104, Clippers 94: Elton Brand, the Clippers' last amazing power forward, gave Blake Griffin a lesson. What that lesson was, I don't know. But it was vicious! Brand had 19 and 12; Griffin shot 3-12 and fouled out in 36 minutes. Philadelphia wins.

The New York Giants are going to Super Bowl XLVI. And for the second time in five years, they got to the NFL's ultimate game thanks to Lawrence Tynes making a field goal in overtime of the NFC Championship Game on the road.
Tynes put a 31-yarder dead center to give the Giants a 20-17 victory in the 2012 NFC Championship Game and set up a rematch of Super Bowl XLII against the New England Patriots.
Tynes had previously hit a game-winning overtime field goal for the Giants in the 2008 NFC Championship Game to beat the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
"Oh my gosh, twice," he told FOX's Pam Oliver after the game.

Remember Me
A tour group heads to the third floor of the building that houses CR Golf on Main Street, which was used as a speakeasy during Prohibition. Volunteer Judy Fischer told her group about the concept of the "underground" bar. "They were called speakeasies because you needed to speak a special code to get in the door," she said. "There is actually a tiny door they would slide open that you would speak the code through."
DELPHOS—As they enter their last year of high school, seniors often spend the majority of their time thinking about the future and what it holds. The Delphos Rotary Club believes it's important to consider the past, as well, which is why they've held the Senior Walking Tour the last 15 years.Starting at 8 a.m. Wednesday, 160 seniors from Jefferson and St. John's learned about the influence of the Miami- Erie Canal on the growth of Delphos and visited a number of historical sites throughout the city while dodging raindrops.
"We really want these kids to dig into the history," Rotary Tour Chairman JoAn Smith said. "It's important to let them know what Delphos was, is and will be. We think it's important to do this tour every year so they can know the history of Delphos and see and feel it. We take them to places that the public doesn't usually get to see."The tour is orchestrated solely by volunteers from the schools, community organizations and clubs."It takes 60 to 70 people to pull this off and they're all volunteers," Smith said. "The Rotary Club is pleased to do it and it's so much easier with everyone who helps out. We get retirees and people from service groups and also people who take time off work to be here."Ordinarily the Rotary picks a new theme for the tour every year but Smith said they decided not to create one for this year."It's just way too time consuming to re-write everything each year," she said. Some stops on the tour were the Canal Commission Museum, the old Walsh and Remlinger buildings, the former city building, the old movie theater on Main Street and Lock 23. The group took a break at noon to have lunch at the VFW.After lunch, they went on to visit the Veterans Memorial, a building on Third Street that was used as a speakeasy, the Postal Museum and Delphos Area Art Guild.Although some of the old buildings downtown are falling into disrepair, Smith says it's important that the younger generations know they can be saved. "We want them to know these buildings don't have to be torn down," she said. "Some of them, like the one that held the speakeasy, are under restoration. If you go through downtown, you'll see an architectural style you won't have in a newer building."One thing Smith hopes the students take from the tour is the importance of remembering the past and preserving history."You can't know where you're at or where you're going if you don't know what came before," she said.
