Select Route:
This is definitely the most popular tower in the Fishers, and Stolen Chimney on the corkscrew summit is one of the most popular routes in the desert. Rarely enough for the serious and scary Fishers, Stolen Chimney is a cruise that protects very well.
Getting There
Ancient Art is the multi-summited tower below the Kingfisher. Walk along the good trail from the parking lot for about a mile until just past the tower. Turn left onto a very good climber's trail that heads up the gully between Ancient Art and Cottontail Tower. The trail is excellent all the way to the base of the tower-look sharp for cairns.

Transitional Care Options
Different types of care are available for different types of needs. Transitional care may include management of the patient's medical condition and rehabilitation, plus supportive services to ensure basic needs such as comfort, hygiene, safety, and nutrition. It may also include supportive services for educational, social, spiritual, and financial needs. The following is a list of some of the care options that meet the assessed needs of patients during transition:
Place of care
- Hospital.
- Nursing home.
- Rehabilitation unit or facility.
- Patient's home.
- Home of family caregiver.
- Hospice.
- May be in an inpatient setting specified by the hospice or in the patient's home.
Health care specialists and other caregivers work as a team, providing services to patients in their homes, clinics, and other settings. These may include the following:
- Doctor.
- Nurse.
- Dietitian.
- Physical therapist.
- Occupational therapist.
- Social worker.
- Mental health professional.
- Clergy or other religious leader.
- Companions.
- Home care aides.
Programs that provide care may include the following:
- Bereavement programs.
- Community support groups.
- Employment counseling agencies.
- Home health agencies.
- Home infusion agencies.
- Hospice programs.

- Chemotherapy.
- Blood transfusions.
- Medications that cause blood cells to grow and mature.
- Antibiotics (drugs used to treat infections).
- Treatments that help improve or restore lung function.
- Wound and skin care.
Nutrition support
The patient may be able to eat normally or may need supplemental nutrition by mouth, by tubefeeding, or by delivery into a vein. (See the PDQ summary on Nutrition in Cancer Care for more information.)
Special equipment
The type of equipment needed, if any, will depend on the patient's condition. Some commonly needed devices include the following:
- Medical appliances (such as catheters, tubes for drainage, and bags for colostomies).
- Assistive devices (wheelchairs, walkers, special beds and mattresses).
- Pumps to deliver medication into the body.
- Respirators (machines that help the patient breathe).

The Foundry Lofts Needs Better Property Management
Are you tired of our current property management company, feel that they are not doing an effective job, do you believe that our condo board needs to hold a review, then sign this petition.
With the more signatures we get, the board will have to listen to us and do something about our property manager. We inherited Taft from the developer along with many other things that we need to change. A review process will help us:
-find a better property manager
-learn through the process that we have the best one already
-make Taft understand that we are not happy with their current level of service
What ever your beef is, sign the petition so we can get some action.

Exit polling from Tuesday night shows a candidate's religious beliefs matter to voters. Religion is having an impact on the GOP race.
Mitt Romney toured a steel plant in Toledo, Ohio Wednesday.
"This campaign is really one about differences," said Romney.
Religion is one difference. Rick Santorum is Catholic. Romney is a Mormon.
Exit polling from Tuesday night shows the impact religion is having on the GOP race.
When Michigan voters were asked if religious beliefs of candidates matter, more than half of Michigan voters said a great deal or somewhat.
Of those, 50-percent voted for Rick Santorum, 35-percent voted for Romney.
On the flip side, about four in ten voters said a candidate's religious beliefs did not matter.
Of those, Romney won 51-percent. Santorum only pulled in 23-percent.
"I think it should not surprise us that the religious beliefs of Americans matter a lot," said Dr Richard Powell, Pastor of McGregor Baptist Church in Fort Myers. "We don't have a religion and then a life. We have a faith in Christ that affects everything in life including who we want leading our country."
Powell agrees with what Billy Graham's son Franklin said last week about Romney's religion not being a 'Christian' faith.
"I'm just saying most Christians would not recognize Mormonism. Now, of course they believe in Jesus Christ, but they have a lot of other things that they believe in too that we don't accept theologically," said Graham.
The last time Romney ran for president, he tried to put the Mormon issue to rest.
"A person should not be elected because of his faith, nor should he be rejected because of his faith," said Romney.
In Michigan, Romney actually won more of the Catholic vote than Santorum, but Santorum won evangelicals and born-again Christians by a wide margin.
In Arizona Romney got the support of 90-percent of Mormon voters.
NBC2 reached out to local leaders from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but have not received a response.

Denver has shipped WR Brandon Marshall to the Dolphins, the Broncos confirmed Wednesday morning.
Denver will receive a second-round pick (43rd overall) in next week's draft and a second-round pick in the 2011 draft.
Marshall still needs to pass a physical, but if he passes the physical, he will sign a new contract with the Dolphins. ESPN reports Marshall will sign a four-year, $47 million extension that adds to his one-year, $2.5 million deal for 2010. The contract will include $24 million guaranteed.
The PFW spin
Earlier this offseason, Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano said he didn't think Marshall would be a good fit for his team. Either Sparano changed his mind or Bill Parcells and Jeff Ireland, who make the personnel decisions, overruled him, because Miami unloaded two valuable second-round picks and spent a sizable chunk of cash to get an elite receiver that comes with baggage that may have initially concerned Sparano.
Marshall is one violation of the league's personal-conduct policy away from receiving a stiff punishment from the NFL. It has already suspended him once. The next time, Marshall could be given an entire season off by Commissioner Roger Goodell. Of course, Marshall is also always one catch away from breaking free and heading into the endzone.
He's exactly the receiver Miami needed and should boost an offense that needed a threat to pick up yards after the catch.
The Dolphins have a nice set of complementary receivers around Marshall in Davone Bess, Greg Camarillo and Brian Hartline, who showed promise as a rookie last season. Patrick Turner, who was drafted ahead of Hartline last year, could also develop into a weapon in the passing game, although his transition to the pros has been difficult.
Miami still has speedy Ted Ginn Jr. under contract as well, although the team is reportedly shopping him. The Dolphins apparently tried to deal Ginn away before last year's trade deadline as well, but were unable to get anything done. There may be a team willing to swap a low pick for Ginn on the last day of the draft this year, but it wouldn't be a surprise if Ginn was still a Dolphin after the draft.
It's unlikely that Miami would simply cut Ginn. Opposing teams with interest in the receiver-kick returner may be willing to wait out the Dolphins in the hope they will do just that before next season.

A Scottsbluff man will make his first appearance in Scotts Bluff County Court today on a charge of possession of child pornography.
Court documents say 21 year old Michael Valdez is accused of showing a sexually related video to the cleaning lady involving a young boy less than two years old in diapers. Investigator Tami Otto says once the cleaning lady filed a complaint about Valdez showing the video at work on his cell phone, she interviewed Valdez. The document says Valdez showed a portion of the video to the investigator and reported he had received the video on Facebook.
The incident occurred around mid-January. Valdez is being held on 10% of $20,000 bond.

Wisconsin budget crisis inspires national ads
By Angie Drobnic Holan
Published on Friday, March 4th, 2011 at 5:36 p.m.
National groups are starting to weigh in on the budget controversy in Wisconsin via political ads.
A ad from two Democratic advocacy groups says that Republicans in Wisconsin are waging war on the middle class by taking money from workers and giving tax breaks to corporations.
"Money is being taken away from workers, and the tax breaks given to major corporations," says a worker in the ad. We decided to fact-check that claim and rated it Mostly True. We found that workers are being asked to give up money from their paychecks while companies are offered tax breaks. The tax breaks are connected to job creation, though, not corporate size. (Read the complete item.)
We're still working on a fact-check of an ad from the Republican National Committee that urges people to "fight back" against President Obama and "his union bosses." We'll update this story with that fact-check once it's complete.

Last Thursday, a natural gas well operating off the coast of Louisiana began leaking methane gas into the air. Given the recent number of large number of spills and leaks taking place on Gulf rigs, it's hard to believe that the federal government is now considering allowing drilling to take place in the Atlantic Ocean. Clearly, the government is more concerned with increased drilling rather than ensuring safety of our workers and the environment.
The National Snow and Ice Data Center has announced that Arctic sea ice melted to its yearly minimum extent last Sunday, which was the smallest extent since measurements began in 1979 and a whopping 49% below the 1979 to 2000 average. With ice vanishing at rates that exceed even the most sophisticated computer models there is one guarantee, that it's going to shrink even more
We know Arctic sea ice will continue to shrink for two reasons. First, we are continuing to spew greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. And second, solar radiation and melting sea ice interact as a system known as a positive feedback loop. Sunlight that hits white arctic sea ice is largely reflected back to space. Throughout modern civilization Arctic sea ice has acted as a sort of thermostat, regulating the earth's temperature. But as the climate warms, and the Arctic ice melts, the sunlight instead hits much darker seawater. Rather than reflecting that energy back to space, open-ocean waters absorb vastly more of the sun's energy, which in turn warms the water, accelerating the rate of melt.

Bill requires Wyo students to take 4 years of math
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) _ Wyoming high school students would have to take math classes each year under a bill being considered by state lawmakers.
Currently, state law doesn't require students to study math in their senior years though some school districts still require it.
The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports that the proposal to require math classes every year easily won approval from the Senate Education Committee on Wednesday. It now goes to the full Senate for debate.
Democratic Sen. Chris Rothfuss of Laramie said he introduced the bill after hearing about high school graduates failing their math placement exams in college.

GUNTERSVILLE, AL (WAFF) - Lake Guntersville's on-water fireworks display is the biggest in North Alabama.
In less than 24 hours, fireworks will be fired off a barge anchored between the Warrenton Causeway and the river bridge at 9'clock Saturday night.
These are pictures of last year's fourth of july event.
"For many years we've had an on water fireworks show that historically has brought at least 10 thousand people in the peninsula here," said Guntersville Police Cheif Jim Peterson.
Guntersville police hope to limit traffic congestion.
"Being on a peninsula, we have a limited number of routes in and out of guntersville," said Chief Peterson.
Traffic signals on Gunter Avenue will be flashing yellow, so joining streets can easily yield to traffic.
Gunter Avenue will be reduced to one lane, so traffic will continue to flow on Hwy 69.
Other roads will be temperarily closed and there will be no parking allowed on the main river bridge.
Guntersville police have traffic congestion on land figured out...but what about the water?
"Everyone will be working this holiday weekend," said Sgt. Randy Jones with the Marine Police.
Marine police expect many boats on rivers and lakes this holiday. Boaters-remember your boat must have a light. Reduce your speed to avoid collisions, and remember to have patience.
"After the fireworks are over with, everyone is in a rush to get their boats on the trailers and get back home. Slow down and take it easy getting back to the shore," advised Sgt. Jones.

BOSTON -- Aaron Cook's first start as a member of the Red Sox on Saturday, facing the Orioles, was nearly cut short due to a bizarre injury after 1 2/3 innings. He was forced out by the O's bats after 2 2/3.
Filling in for the injured Josh Beckett, Cook retired the first two batters in the second inning before Chris Davis reached base on a single. Wilson Betemit followed suit, moving Davis to third before a passed ball by catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia allowed Davis to score.
But Cook was injured on the play as he slid into home plate knees first in an attempt to tag out Davis, whose cleats spiked Cook in the left leg and left a visibly deep, bleeding gash. Cook left the field temporarily, as manager Bobby Valentine called for Clayton Mortensen out of the bullpen, but Mortensen never reached the pitcher's mound. Cook received treatment in the clubhouse and returned minutes later to record the final out.
But in the third inning, Cook allowed a single to Endy Chavez, threw a wild pitch and walked J.J. Hardy before catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia caught Chavez stealing at third. But Cook then yielded an RBI single to Nick Markakis, a two-run homer to Adam Jones, a double to Matt Wieters and back-to-back singles to Chris Davis and Wilson Betemit before being removed.
Mortensen entered and promptly served up a three-run home run to Mark Reynolds.
Cook was charged with seven runs (six earned) on eight hits, walking one and striking out none.
Cook cruised through the first inning on three ground balls, his bread-and-butter as a sinkerball pitcher.

Hailing the move as part of a "new era" of Huskies football, the University of Washington announced Wednesday that it signed a new broadcast rights deal with KOMO Newsradio that extends through the 2020 season and ends UW's 12-year partnership with Sports Radio KJR (950-AM).
KOMO will broadcast each UW football and men's basketball game on 1000-AM and 97.7-FM, beginning with the football team's Aug. 30 opener at Hawaii.
"We are excited about this new partnership with the KOMO News Network and the exposure it will provide the University of Washington through radio, television and digital," Andre Riley, general manager of Washington IMG Sports Marketing, said in a statement. "KOMO's multi-platform distribution will help more Husky fans hear game broadcasts through AM and FM simulcast signals, and will also allow for more UW coverage in the community throughout the year. I would also like to thank KJR for their many years of partnership."
Longtime play-by-play man Bob Rondeau will remain in the booth alongside color analyst Damon Huard. A UW spokesperson said it was still to be determined whether longtime sideline reporter Elise Woodward, a KJR employee, will remain on the broadcast.
The deal is the latest in a lengthy, off-and-on broadcast relationship between the UW and KOMO; the school's press release notes that KOMO held the broadcast rights for UW football and basketball for 21 of the past 36 seasons. KJR began broadcasting Huskies games in 2002.
"I couldn't be more excited to welcome the Huskies back home to KOMO Newsradio," said Janene Drafs, vice president and general manager of Sinclair Radio Seattle, said in a statement. "As a UW alum, I am proud and honored to once again be partnering with this outstanding athletic and academic institution."christian.caple@ thenewstribune.com

These lists usually take form with an assortment of errands and projects that are thrown together in one large chunk. The idea behind the list is efficiency, but not all 'to-do' lists are created equal.

You may be struggling with weight loss because you're actually listening to the wrong diet and health advice! Like...fat is bad for you.. or...don't eat at night or you'll gain weight!
It's time to debunk those diet myths and more with Dr. Yael Varnado.
1. Not all "healthy foods" are actually healthy foods:
The foods that think should be keeping you slim and trim could actually be packing on the pounds and inches. Some common culprits?
· Vitamin Water: This calorie drink can have as many calories as a can of soda and is enhanced with sugar.
· Energy bars: Keep in mind that most of these aren't made to be quick snacks which many of use them and instead may have enough calories to be a meal substitute. Be sure before you pick a box or bar up you check the nutritional value.
· Peas & Corn: How many of us ladle these onto our salads or consider them yummy diet foods? Sure they're healthier than some foods but these are actually starches and contain high levels of carbohydrates!
2. Fat is the main culprit in weight loss: cut it out to cut out pounds:
Though some fats are "bad fats" --like the kind found in chips, junk food and greasy food-- your body needs "good fats" --unsaturated-- to function optimally --which is what you need it to do to get in shape--. Good fats you should include in your diet can be found in nuts like walnuts and almonds, avocados, fish like salmon, olive oil, flaxseed and more. While you can still include these in your weight loss plan, don't "go crazy" with them and remember that calories still count when working to drop the weight!
3. Which leads us to our next myth: Nuts are Bad for You:
How many of us have been on a diet and been strict about bidding farewell to nuts? Though not all nuts are created equal, studies have shown that health conscious eaters who include "healthy" nuts in moderation in their eating plan --nuts like almond, pistachios, pecans have a lower BMI AND a smaller waistline than those who didn't include them in their weight loss plan. *Study done by the American College of Nutrition.
4. Eating foods like celery & other raw veggies helps you lose weight because they're negative calories
Though raw veggies and celery are great things to include in a weight loss plan, there really isn't any truth behind "negative calories". On top of that, if you include too many foods that aren't giving you enough calories could actually slow down your metabolism and cause muscle to break down which will actually slow down your weight loss regimen!
5. Dieters should only drink skim milk
More and more studies are showing that sticking to 2% lowfat milk or milk with some fat component in it is actually better for dieters than skim milk. Reasons include research that shows it's harder to feel full with skim milk, skim milk still contains sugars found in other types of milk and at the end of the day its benefits may have been largely exaggerated. Drinking skim milk can often also make it harder for your body to absorb the beneficial vitamins or calcium In fact a study coming out of Harvard and getting lots of buzz showed that people who drank skim milk as opposed to 2% or whole were actually heavier than their skim milk drinking counterparts! Finally, here's a fact you should know about the big difference between those types of milk: your "full fat" milk only contains 3-4% fat as it is, which isn't something most people realize. Our thoughts? Stick to 2% or perhaps try almond milk with your cereal!
6. If I eat healthy all week long I can "go crazy" and have cheat days on the weekend
Oh no, no, no! Cheat days can be one of the reasons you're not losing weight in the first place, or that you're gaining the weight you lose during the weekdays back! On the weekends when many of us proclaim "cheat days" we also tend to sleep more, exercise and move around less, drink more alcohol hello drinking your calories. That doesn't mean weekends can't be fun, but continue to make smart choices grilled instead of fried foods, no loading up on bread and rolls before a dinner out, smarter drink choices. Otherwise yes you could actually lose 1-2 pounds during the week and gain a pound back on the weekends!
7. Gluten-free is the secrets to a new, svelte figure!
Though gluten-free may be a health choice that is a necessary requirement or a lifestyle choices for you, don't forget that gluten-free doesn't mean sugar, calorie or fat free. Before you devour an entire box of gluten-free cookies, crackers or other treats be sure you treat it like anything else on your diet plan: check the calories, points or anything else you're monitoring to keep you food intake in check.
8. Eat Every Two Hours to Keep Your Metabolism Revved Up and Your Weight Loss Going Strong
If you want to stick to the "eating every two hours" plan like so many of us have read about you really need to assess what you're eating every two hours. You could actually be consuming too many calories. No matter when you eat your meals you still have to be taking in less calories than you're expending, no matter when you consume them! If you want to do the every two hours plan those meals and snacks should be small and well balanced. ALSO know this - sure, eating every couple hours can help you keep you hunger down but your metabolism will not slow down if you stick to the traditional plan of eating every four hours. BTW you know what WILL keep your metabolism revved up all day long? Building your muscles up! Muscles burn much more than fat!
A Couple Diet FACTS You May Not Know:
More and more studies are showing that caffeine before a workout --say a cup of coffee before your run --could help improve endurance!
For aerobic activities especially those that require endurance, a cup of coffee could improve endurance and stamina and reduce muscle pain and make the work out more enjoyable! That said do not drink too much as it can be a diuretic and negatively impact you. Also consider the source, an energy drink isn't going always going to be the best for you in general and if you must go that route stick to sugar free! As with everything, consume it in moderation and be sure to stay hydrated throughout any work out!
You CAN eat after 8 pm if you must and not gain weight - Some of us freak out because our life and work schedules make it hard for us to eat before 8 pm. Well here's the truth: calories can't tell time! Again it's more about what you eat and how much you eat as opposed to when you eat it! If you eat later in the day your body will just dip into those calories when you start your day in the morning!

CAHOKIA — A second man has been charged in connection with the murder of a 17-year-old male, who was killed last week in Cahokia.
Nikkei Turner, 24, of Nelson Drive in St. Louis, was charged by State's Attorney Brendan Kelly with murder with intention to kill or injure and aggravated unlawful restraint.
Bail was set at $3 million for Turner was held in the Cahokia City Jail waiting to be transported to the St. Clair County Jail.
The first murder suspect, Henry Davis, 23 of St. Louis, was charged Saturday afternoon with the first-degree murder of Allen S. Templeton, 17, also of St. Louis. Bail for Davis was set at $5 million. He is in the St. Clair County jail.
The major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis was activated immediately after the killing of Templeton on Dec. 30. Tom Coppotelli, deputy commander, said Saturday that the teen's death appeared to be retaliatory. Coppotelli said the suspects believed Templeton had something to do with them being robbed earlier in the day in St. Louis.
Cahokia Police Chief James Jones said he wants residents to know that the homicide did not involve Cahokia residents.
Coppotelli said police have plenty of evidence to suggest that the suspects murdered Templeton in Cahokia.
Police received a call reporting shots fired initially. But, a short time after a first call, that occurred at 6:40 p.m., a second call reporting a man down came into the police department Jones said.
When officers arrived they found Templeton's body on the ground on Circle Creek Drive in the Pheasant Hill Mobile Home Park. He sustained bullet wounds to his head and neck area, Jones said.

Dear Teachers, Please explain. Think out of the box
thanks for your help
Please please give context for your questions. These phrases need background.
What is the context in which you met this phrase?
American expression: To "think outside of the box" is to think of ideas that are new and creative, outside of the normal way of doing things.
Our boss asked us to think outside of the box about the problem and come up with a solution.
Hi, lalda222!
It is often said that to be more creative we need to "think outside of the box", but what is the box? Imagine actually living in a box, and knowing the outside world only through the pictures and descriptions written on those four walls. Even the best pictures and most accurate descriptions couldn't provide a true picture of the world outside.
This metaphor is a great one for understanding how limited our thinking can be, and it suggests an obvious solution as well. The further "outside of the box" you can imagine, the more creative your ideas become.

I expected these stools to come with some assembly required, so I wasn't surprised when it came in pieces, yet in one package. It took me about a half hour, and came with everything I needed to do it. These stools are good quality and are pretty sturdy, not wobbly. I have 5 kids and they are very stable and just the right size for our counter height island. The seat is very comfortable and wide enough for any adult, yet tucks away nicely when not in use. I really like mine.
These stools look great in my house and everyone comments on them. I only wish that the 24 inch came in black. My countertops are 34 inches from the floor and these fit perfectly. They are very sturdy and comfortable. It took me about 5 minutes to put them together.
These stools are well constructed and look good. HOWEVER, the screws sent to assemble the stools fit very tightly into the holes, and the allan wrench sent with the screws was TOTALLY INADEQUATE. To avoid frustration, expect to spend an additional $10 on screws (#14 wood screws, 2" long worked for me) and assemble with a power screwdriver.
This product exceeded my expectations. The wood is solid and the graining and color are a rich dark brown. The stool is actually very comfortable and sturdy. It had a narrow profile which is what I needed. A super buy!
I ordered 4 of these stools in the brown. They work perfectly at my kitchen island. The brown color is just the color I wanted - dark brown. The stool height is great with my 36-inch counter height. The quality is good and the price is amazing! I looked all over for stools like this and Overstock had the best price!
Great quality/construction and the stools look great. Easy to assemble as well - great purchase.
Perfect size for a small space yet is not too small to sit on. Beautiful quality and workman ship
Great color and really nice for the price. Didn't have trouble wth assembly just took some time. Overall very happy
Bought four of these. They were a snap to put together and are surprisingly sturdy and have passed the grandchildren test. They look amazing in my kitchen. They have a much smaller footprint than the large stools with backs that I had before. These move neatly under the counter when you are done. They are comfortable and stylish. Only caution is that the screws that come with the assembly package are very soft. One was bent and the pre-drilled hole sloppy. A new screw and some carpenter's glue fixed it. Other than that, I am very pleased.
The walnut color is very pretty and I liked the design of the seat, BUT they were already broken when I received them. The screws in the bottom of the seat were stripped from the wood on one of the chairs. The wood was loose on the bottom of the other chair. It looks like these may have already been returned by another customer after they had broke. Very poor quality.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Floyd County's Sheriff Department says a man on a motorcycle hit a pole and later died of his injuries Monday night.
Floyd County Police were called to the scene of the crash in the 2000-block of Edwardsville-Galena Road in the western part of the county about 8:45 p.m. Monday.
A 44-year-old male was pronounced dead of head injuries later at University of Louisville Hospital, spokesman Maj. Jeff Topping said. The coroner had not released the victim's name as of 11:20 p.m. Monday.

Homeowners in Attleboro are concerned about the start of hunting season.
"It gets to the point you have three months of the year you don't dare go out on your own property," said Dyanne Spatcher.
Spatcher and her brother George own 40 acres near RT. 123.
"I hear the gun shots like a lot of people hear the gun shots," said George Spatcher.
To keep hunters out Dyanne maintains more than 300 no trespassing signs around their property. She also makes sure she has her orange apparel on before heading into the woods.
"I don't trust anybody with a gun or a bow. I am wearing my orange," said Dyanne Spatcher.
Massachusetts has strict rules about where and when you can hunt. Rules that most seasoned sportsmen like Matt Criasia follow.
"You can only hunt a half hour before sun up, half hour after sunset and if you wanna hunt private land you need permission to hunt private land" said Criasia.
Not everyone follows the rules. That's why the Spatchers want the City Council to pass an ordinance requiring written permission to hunt on private property.
The City Council President tells ABC6 they are still working on an ordinance that can be enforceable.

Nestoria is again a proud sponsor of YAPC::EU, Europe's biggest and baddest Perl conference. This year, the event will be held in Pisa in August and the theme is "The Renaissance of Perl". A few members of the engineering team will be forced to take the difficult responsibility of spending a few days in Italy in the late summer. Life is hard sometimes. For those not in the know, the theme is a reference to major new developments in the current Perl language (known as Perl5) as well as progress towards the new Perl language (known logically, if confusingly, as Perl6). The conference organizers have arranged the usual high-quality line-up of speakers and if past events are any predictor of future events, YAPC::EU 2010 will prove to be a great learning opportunity.
This month we chat with long time friend of Nestoria Simon Wistow. Simon is Senior Search Engineer at Scribd - the world's largest social publishing and reading site. Previously he survived the first Dot.Com boom and bust cycle, was a Senior Search Engineer at Yahoo! Europe and worked at blogging company Six Apart on search and a variety of other open web and social technologies. He also spent several years working on R&D for a Visual Effects Company and once worked on a Cattle and Sheep farm in the Australian Outback - mostly because it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Simon thanks for speaking with us about the state of search.
1. Scribd is one of the largest document sets in the world. What are some of the technical challenges of searching it?
The most immediate problem is that the documents tend to be so much larger - our average document length is 10 pages long which translates to about 3000 words or 21,000 characters. This is much longer than most web pages and certainly more than the average blog post. This in turn makes our indexes much bigger and means that some of the standard tricks such as boosting the importance of the title have to be more finely calibrated. For example, if a user searches for "Alexander" then a one page document with one sentence and a title that exactly matches the search term isn't likely to be as good 'quality' as a 20-page document on Alexander the Great and the Macedonian empire. It's a slightly contrived example but we see the same class of problems a lot. The other problem we have is the fact that we index so many different types of documents. It can be quite tricky to index both a thesis in PDF format and a PowerPoint presentation since they have very different information densities. Density doesn't necessarily translate to quality. On top of that we have to handle documents in about 70 different languages and varying layers of privacy controls (private and public documents, offered for sale and for free). Because we have so much "long tail" content popularity based boosting in a style similar to Google's PageRank algorithm isn't an automatic win. Small companies like Scribd deal with the volume of data that only huge multi-national web companies were able to handle just a few years back. While the hardware has improved a lot I still think it's pretty amazing what we're doing on comparatively tiny budgets.
2. What are the interesting new trends you see in search?
If real estate is all about location, location, location then search is all about context, context context. And part of that context is location. If I search for "taqueria" then that's a very broad search term. But, if you happen to know that I'm searching on my mobile phone and that I'm currently standing in the Mission district in San Francisco, then suddenly you can give me much higher quality results. And, the more information you know about me then the better the results can be. If I search for "polish" then you can serve me up different results depending on whether I've just purchased a new table off eBay or whether I've just booked plane tickets to Krakow. As for more esoteric trends there are a few new technologies beyond the standard inverted index set up which I think are really interesting. Latent Semantic Indexing and Contextual Network Graphs give scarily good results - they return documents that are about the same concept that you're searching for rather than just documents with the exact terms. This means querying for "Kitty Litter" will return documents that refer to it as "Cat Toilet" as well because both those phrases are in the same conceptual locality. Classification algorithms like Support Vector Machines are pretty damn sexy as well.
3. One theory in the search world is that search (and information organization generally) will go "social" with Twitter, Facebook and others heralded as the future of information organisation. Your thoughts?
The other opportunity that sites like Facebook and Twitter represent is that it's a much faster moving world. At one point Google only re-indexed everything once every 40 days or so, now they're adding content in real-time from Twitter's fire hose. This leads to some interesting issues with index latency and replication but also allows for some interesting ranking based on timeliness, trending topics and ephemerality. Again, context is king here. If I'm searching for something and then one of my friends searches for similar terms soon after then it's a pretty good bet that she's looking for the same thing as I am. Based on that we can assume the results I clicked on would be more relevant to her. Using technologies like Multi Layer Perceptron Networks we can do some really interesting result time boosting based on what other users and, more importantly, your friends are doing. The flip side of this, of course, is privacy. If I'm logged out and I search for a phrase and get regular results but then log in andsearch for the same thing again and get more, shall we say, adult results then I know that's because of my friends. If I only have one friend then he's well and truly busted. Or, less cynically, if you're searching for a place to hold your birthday party and you're getting a lot of results for places that specialise in throwing surprise parties then it kind of undermines your friends' efforts. You could get around this by only using this data if the user has over a certain threshold number of friends. But incidents like the AOL search log leak and the extracted data from the Netflix challenge have shown that even if you try really really hard to scrub this stuff inevitably some information is still recoverable.
4. Before moving to California you were a long time member and organizer of London's Perl community (Perl of course being the main programming language used here at Nestoria) and worked at several internet/technology companies. How does the Silicon Valley scene differ from London?
Well, I live and work in San Francisco itself rather than down in the Valley, although I have lots of friends who do both. The vibe in the city is different from down there - you have to drive everywhere in the valley so it's a much less social atmosphere. That said, San Francisco and the whole Bay Area is different from London. Plenty of people have elaborated at length on the subject and, while I've rarely outright disagreed with what they've said, I've never totally agreed with them entirely either. I'm not entirely sure how to put my finger on it exactly to be honest. In general, there's a lot less stop energy here. If you tell people an idea then they will generally overwhelm you with enthusiasm whereas, to some extent, in London, they will patiently and non-maliciously tell you all the reasons why that's a stupid idea and what the obvious and gaping flaws are. Which can be enough to deflate you and knock all that crucial early momentum out of you. The flip side is that if you propose a stupid idea in San Francisco then you may not get that reality check you so sorely need, which is why you occasionally see proposed standards and protocols and products which just make you wonder what the hell the author was thinking. Sometimes it feels like there's a willful ignorance of the lessons learnt from history and of the greater world outside the rarefied echo-chamber bubble that we exist in. Also, while San Francisco has stuff like Maker Faire and Bacon and Cupcake Camp I think people are more likely to do start ups which involve something physical in the UK. I'm sure people can point out counter examples but places like Newspaper Club and Moo seem to be somehow a British thing.
Other than that they're actually remarkably similar. Hell, there's such a flow of people back and forth across the Atlantic that I see some friends more often here than I did back in London.
Simon, thanks for the detailed insights. Couldn't agree more that it's amazing what small companies are technically able to do these days. Likewise we can confirm that different types of data require totally different search thinking. To learn more, or to try to understand what sort of twisted thinking would lead a perfectly normal British man to go work on an Australian sheep farm, I invite all readers to follow Simon over on twitter where he goes by the moniker @deflatermouse
past Nestoria interviews: Chris Osborne, Kevin Burke, and Nick Turner-Samuels.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Fellow Nestors!
I know lately we've been on an interview tear, but today we had the chance to speak with Chris Osborne - one of the lead organisers of this week's WhereCampEU to be held here in London.
Many of you will remember Chris from past Nestoria posts - he's the man behind the regular #geomob events, and he worked with us last year on our Where Can I Live project. Chris thus officially becomes the first Nestoria team member to move up into the lofty realms of Nestoria interviewee. (And to think I knew him back when…. ). By day he hangs his hat at ITO World, which both fights the good fight to improve public transport for all of us and creates mindblowingly cool data visualisations.
WhereCampEU is sure to be a great event, showcasing the cutting edge of what's happening in the European online geography space. We're very pleased that Nestoria is a sponsor (along with geo upstarts like the Ordnance Survey, Google, Bing and Yahoo! amongst many other forward looking oranisations). We'll hopefully be announcing a little geo-innovation of our own before the event (watch this space). We look forward to meeting any Nestoria blog readers at the event. Please say hello!.
Chris, thanks very much for making the time to chat with us.
1. You are organising the first WhereCamp in Europe. Can you explain what a WhereCamp is and what made you want to organise one?
I went to my first WhereCamp last year in Silicon Valley, right after the Where2.0 conference (editor's note: Chris was kind enough to guest post a summary of Where2.0 with us last summer), and loved the participative nature of the event. Its an unstructured conference, or unconference as the kids say, with a blank timetable that the attendees create themselves by running sessions or doing a lightning talk. As the name implies, its all about geography, place and location technology. As something of a geography geek, I had so much fun that I just had to organise the first WhereCamp in the EU.
2. Who do you expect will attend the event?
I've worked hard to attract a wide cross section of attendees, a quick glance at the ticket list shows over 13 different countries represented from diverse backgrounds - government, web2.0 startups, National Mapping Agencies, OpenStreetMap people, academics, bloggers and your good selves at Nestoria.
3. You say you are passionate about "neogeography". What is neogeography and what's so exciting about it?
Neogeography is about community map-making, people generated maps where we remove the separation of the map maker from the map consumer. I'm really excited about the opportunities for an enhanced democracy that comes from people having more knowledge about their environment and being able to participate in decision making. At ITO World, we work on visualising complex transport networks so that communities can view how planning decisions will affect them. In my local community, Clapton, residents have already rejected one new housing development this month partly due to a lack of transport planning.
4. What's the most exciting development in internet technology in the past few years to you?
Right now, I'm mostly interested in how people are interacting with technology. I have been focused on technology for too long now and am taking a step back and looking at user interaction. I think the touch screen is actually what is going to drive more and more IT/internet usage as it provides a natural interface that we haven't seen before. The greatest trick Apple ever pulled was convincing people that the iPhone wasn't a computer but a mobile phone. I expect to see much more embedded, touch-screen computing devices in all manner of places we haven't seen before.
What's something that you're still waiting for, an app, service etc. that you'd like to see in the future?
Thanks Chris for the chat, and also for organising the event. We're looking forward to it!
On a final note: For anyone who needs a reminder of the current age of online cartography awesomeness that we live in, check this sweetness out (made with OSM data, free and open geodata FTW!)
past Nestoria interviews: Kevin Burke, Nick Turner-Samuels, and Josh Devins.
This month we chat with Kevin Burke, COO of Smarta.com and social media enthusiast. Prior to joining Smarta, Kevin ran European business development for Pluck, and is also a Yahoo! veteran. He has a BA in history from Williams College and an MBA from INSEAD.
Kevin, thanks for speaking with us.
1. What is Smarta and what problem does it solve?
Smarta is an online resource for people thinking about starting a business or running a small business. We are backed by some of the UK's most successful entrepreneurs including Bebo's Michael Birch as well as Dragons Theo Paphitis and Deborah Meaden. Approximately 15% of all 16-64 year olds in the UK are thinking about starting a business and being an entrepreneur has become the number one career aspiration for university students. The current market for business startup advice is dominated by professional service firms who provide expensive, and often mediocre advice, and by government organisations like Business Link, which are staffed by people who have no practical business experience. Smarta offers free, practical and actionable advice from real entrepreneurs in the form of how to articles, video interviews and an online network. It is a place where people can get inspiration, learn from the mistakes of others and connect with people who can help.
2. What are the common mistakes entrepreneurs typically make?
We recently wrote a guide called "40 schoolboy errors made by entrepreneurs" and I think that does a good job of summarizing many of the key mistakes.
3. 2009 was a brutal year for the UK economy. What opportunities does the recession hold for entrepreneurs and start-ups in general, and web based start-ups specifically?
It may sound trite, but there has never been a better time to start a business. Although investment capital is difficult to come by, the cost of website development and hosting has gone down, and web based start-ups can run with very little overhead. To quote Doug Richard "We are entering a land grab of expertise. Each individual has the opportunity to be the brand or nexus around something." The key is capturing mindshare around a particular topic, and listening to the buzz in social networks to stay on top of the fast changing appetites of customers.
4. Two weeks ago Google announced their most recent foray into social with the launch of Buzz - and promptly suffered a PR disaster as it became clear that not everyone wants to "socialize" with all of their e-mail contacts. As an online veteran, how do you see the contrast and interplay between broad social networks from the internet giants like Facebook - with 350M+ users all around the world - and niche vertical networks like Smarta?
Broad social networks, with their ease of use, have done a great job of spurring mass adoption of social media, and introducing people to the benefits and power of online social networking. Facebook and Twitter have enabled a whole new form of communication. But as we have seen in other sectors of the web, there is a natural point at which fragmentation occurs. If people are passionate about golf, or blues bands, or politics, they will want to interact with communities of like minded individuals, rather than broad communities. If I want to ask for advice about setting up VAT, I won't ask my Facebook friends, I will ask the Smarta community. A key difference is that broad social networks espouse networking for networking's sake, whereas the vertical networks tend to be content and topic led - those that do the best job of facilitating conversation and debate among members will be the most successful.
The broad social networks and the vertical communities will develop a symbiotic relationship. Currently, individuals have multiple identities at multiple sites. A key trend for the future is to bridge these identities together into a single, portable profile that can be transported across the web. We are starting to see this with Facebook connect. The barriers to entry to joining vertical social networks and inviting friends will continue to decrease, spurring greater adoption. At the same time, individuals' activity feeds and identities will become more robust, reflecting their participation across the web. We will gradually see a move away from anonymous posting and will see robust profiles as the way people build reputation and trust within and across social networks.
Kevin, thanks for your time and insight. As a niche vertical search engine. We know the dilemma, but also the power, of being very focused. For anyone considering making the plunge and starting their own business (go for it!) we recommend checking out Smarta. Learn more about Smarta via their blog or by following smartahq on twitter.

If the Yankees/Cubs games from this past weekend at Wrigley Field had been part of a postseason series, the entire series would have been legendary.
Each of the games in the series -- which drew 126,283 fans to the Cubs' venerable ballpark, a record for a three-game series had drama and action; there was a different hero (or villain, depending on your point of view) on each day.
Friday afternoon, journeyman lefthander Doug Davis tied Yankees hitters in knots, giving them just three singles and one run, which scored after he left the game. He got 22 outs and allowed just the three hits. Only one other pitcher has done that to the Yankees this season -- Boston's Josh Beckett, pretty good company for Davis.
On Saturday, in a game that took about twice as long as it does to fly from Chicago to New York, the Cubs came from behind -- rare enough -- to tie the game on a two-run homer by Carlos Pena. It was backup Yankee shortstop Eduardo Nunez, though, playing only due to the injury to Derek Jeter, who plated an insurance run in the ninth inning that the Yankees would wind up needing. Why? Because Reed Johnson of the Cubs, also getting more playing time than expected because of the injury to Marlon Byrd, hit the first home run anyone had hit all year off Yankees closer Mariano Rivera. Rivera finished up with the artistry that's given him 576 saves in what will give him an eventual stop in Cooperstown, inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Yesterday, ex-Yankee Alfonso Soriano tried to be the hero by homering off his former team and giving the Cubs the largest lead they'd had in the series, 4-1. But former White Sox Nick Swisher gave his dad, 1970s era Cubs catcher Steve Swisher a Father's Day gift with a matching blast off rookie reliever Chris Carpenter (no relation to the Cardinals starter of the same name) and the Yankees took the game and series with a performance that cried out to the Cubs and their fans, "Look. This is how it's done."
Many of the three sellout crowds at Wrigley Field were wearing Yankee pinstripe jerseys, navy blue T-shirts with Yankee names present (Rivera, Jeter, Rodriguez, Teixeira) and past (Ruth, Mantle) on the back and shirts with representations of the 27 World Series rings on them. They walked around not with haughty attitudes, but friendly and knowledgeable discussion of their team and baseball. Inside the park, chants of "Let's go Yankees" were heard loudly at all three games and some of them even attempted the chanting of the Yankee lineup that's done in the Bronx when the Yankees come onto the field. Left fielder Brett Gardner and right fielder Swisher acknowledged them with a wave of their glove, but when they attempted to get first baseman Mark Teixeira's attention from the left field bleachers, nearly 400 feet away, the chant wasn't heard, and so stopped. These fans represent New York well -- though not all of them traveled in for the series; many Yankee-garbed fans were seen walking down the residential blocks near Wrigley Field after the games, presumably back to their own homes or apartments; their jobs likely relocated them to Chicago, but their baseball loyalties remain with New York.
Some baseball fans pronounce themselves bored with interleague play. Those fans needed to be at Wrigley Field this past weekend for entertaining baseball and great theater. And someday, perhaps the Cubs will learn the lessons the Yankees taught. Many baseball fans outside of New York call the Yankees the "Evil Empire". One Yankees fan I saw wore that slogan on a T-shirt as a badge of honor. "Evil" has won 27 World Championships. Most teams' fans would take that... as a Cubs fan, I know I'd settle for just one.

They're saying that HBO is going the crazy ex-Girlfriend route with this split. Lol
I guess they are on Their Taylor Swift. The full report is yet to come out on yahoo but if true this would prove more serious than I imagined. Unfortunately I believe HBO will hurt themselves more so in the long run. You don't burn bridges.....

HBO just don't like the sour taste of the grapes of losing FMJr has left behind on their table, not to mention that Broner and the rest of the GBP camp will be taking their talent pool with him so they can all cash in on the Money May Lottery over at Showtime boxing.
Oscar isn't stupid, he knows that a vast talent pool is going to want to fight on the Showtime network now that Floyd has moved there. If HBO was smart they would've bidded a little higher to keep Floyd because that would mean that they'll be able to keep Broner there too (he will be the next Cashcow).
I'm glad Floyd left HBO because all they did was tear him down and honestly he was bringing them their bread and butter when all they did was spit on him at the dinner table no matter who he beat.
