Washington DC (PRWEB) August 27, 2014 -- Ontotext Media & Publishing delivers semantic publishing solutions to the world's largest media and publishing companies including automated content enrichment, data management, content and user analytics and natural language processing. Recently, Ontotext Media and Publishing has been enhanced to include contextually-aware reading recommendations based on content and user behavior, delivering an even more powerful user experience.
Tony Agresta's insight:
Semantic Recommendations are all about personalized, contextual recommendations based on a blend of search history, users profiles and, most importantly, semantically enriched content. This refers to content that has been analyzed using natural language processing. Entities are extracted from the text, classified and indexed inside a graph database. When a visitor comes to a website or information portal, "Semantic Recommendations" understands more than just the past browsing history. It understands what other articles have relevant, contextual information of interest to the reader. This, in turn, creates a fantastic user experience because visitors get much more than they originally thought would be available in search results. This news release talks more about Semantic Recommendations and Ontotext Media and Publishing. By the way, this same technology can be used for any website, any information product, any search and discovery application. The basic premise is that once all of your content has been semantically enriched, search engines deliver highly relevant results.

Tony Agresta's insight:
This interview was with Atanas Kiryakov, founder and CEO of Ontotext. He is an expert in semantic technology and discusses use cases for text mining, graph databases, semantic enrichment and content curation. This is a five part series and I would recommend this to anyone interested in taking the next step in big data - semantic analysis of text leading to contextual search and discovery applications.
Graph databases, also known as triplestores, have a very powerful capability – they can store hundreds of billions of semantic facts (triples) from any subject imaginable. The number of free semantic facts on the market today from sources such as DbPedia, GeoNames and others is high and continues to grow every day. Some estimates have this total between 150 and 200 billion right now. As a result, Linked Open Data can be a good source of information with which to load your graph databases. Linked Open Data is one source of data. When does it become really powerful? When you create your own semantic triples from your own data and use them in conjunction with linked open data to enrich your database. This process, commonly referred to as text mining, extracts the salient facts from free flowing text and typically stores the results in some database. With this done, you can analyze your enriched data, visualize it, aggregate it and report on it. In a recent project Ontotext undertook on behalf of FIBO (Finanical Information Business Ontology), we enhanced the FIBO ontologies with Linked Open Data allowing us to query company names and stock prices at the same time to show the lowest trading prices for all public stocks in North America in the last 50 years. To do this, we needed to combine semantic data sources, something that's easy to do with the Ontotext Semantic Platform. We have found that the optimal way to apply text mining is in conjunction with a graph database. Many of our customers use our Text Mining to do just that. Some vendors only sell graph databases and leave it up to you to figure out how to mine the text. Other vendors only sell the text mining part and leave it up to…
Tony Agresta's insight:
Here's a summary of how text mining works with graph databases. It describes the major steps in the text mining process and ends with how entities, articles and relationships are indexed inside the graph database. The blend of these two major classes of technology allow all of your unstructured data to be discoverable. Search results are informed by much more than just the metadata associated with the document or e-mail. They are informed by the meaning inside the document, the text itself which contains important insights about people, places, organizations, events and their relationship to other things.
September 30th at 11 AM EDT: Not All Graph Databases Are Created Equally - An Interview with Atanas Kiryakov - Ontotext
Graph databases help enterprise organizations transform the management of unstructured data and big data.
Tony Agresta's insight:
Graph databases store semantic facts used to describe entities and relationships to other entities. This educational webinar will be hosted by Ontotext and will be an interview format with Atanas Kiryakov, an expert in this field. If you want to learn about use cases for graph databases and how you can extract meaning from free flowing text and store results in the graph databases, this webinar is must.

Sofia, Bulgaria (PRWEB) August 21, 2014 -- The Self Service Semantic Suite (S4) provides a complete set of tools that developers can use to build text mining and semantic applications. Fully hosted, low cost and on demand, S4 includes proven text mining technology, Linked Open Data for enrichment, the world's most powerful RDF triplestore (GraphDB™) and a set of tools for developers to build and deploy cloud-based semantic applications.
Tony Agresta's insight:
Small and mid size business can take advantage of text mining and semantic analysis of documents using S4, the Self Service Semantic Suite. This allows developers to build custom applications that run in he cloud but you can upload documents and web pages for free to test it out. The very same enterprise technology that powers some of the largest semantic applications in the world is part of S4.

The OpenPolicy semantic search tool is a powerful way to instantaneously locate related content across scores of complex documents. See how OpenPolicy unlock...
Tony Agresta's insight:
Here's a great use case on the use of semantic technology to discover documents hosted in a knowledge base. The application was built by LMI and Ontotext and recently won 2014 Northern Virginia Technology Council award. Search results against massive page counts are returned in seconds. The combined use of ontologies and a scalable triple store from Ontotext make this application possible.
Use these five use cases to spark your thinking about how to combine big data and visualization tools in your enterprise.
Tony Agresta's insight:
One form of data visualization that is underutilized by sales and marketing professionals is a relationship graph which shows you connections between people, places, things, events...any attributes you want to see in the graph. This form of visualization has long been used by the intelligence community to find bad guys and identify fraud networks. But it also has practical applications in sales and marketing.
Let's say you're trying to improve your lead conversion process and accelerate sales cycles. Wouldn't it be important to analyze relationships between campaigns, qualified leads created, the business development people that created the leads and how fast each lead progressed through sales stages?
Imagine a network graph that showed the campaigns, business development people that worked the lead pool, qualified leads and the number of opportunities created. Imagine if components of the graph (nodes) were scaled based on the amount of money spent on each campaign, the number of leads each person worked and the value of each opportunity. Your eye would be immediately drawn to a number of insights.
You could quickly see which campaigns provided the most bang for your buck - the ones with relatively low cost and high qualified lead production. You could quickly see which business development reps generated a high volume of qualified leads and how many turned into real opportunities. Now imagine if you could play the creation of the graph over time. You could see when campaigns started to generate qualified leads. How long did it take? How soon could sales expect to get qualified leads? Should your campaign planning cycles change? Are your more expensive campaigns having the impact you expected? Is this all happening fast enough to meet sales targets?
This form of data visualization is easier to apply than you think. There are tools on the market that allow you to connect to CSV files exported from your CRM system and draw the graph in seconds. As data visualization becomes more common in business, sales and marketing professionals will start to use this approach to measure performance of campaigns and employees while better understanding influencing factors in each stage of the sales cycles.
IBM is introducing new data discovery software that enables business users to visually interact with and apply advanced analytics to their data without any specialized skills to get deeper insights about their business. The new software will help close the analytics skills gap that makes current data discovery tools inaccessible for the everyday business user and make it possible to go from raw information to answers hidden deep within structured and unstructured information in minutes.

Tony Agresta's insight:
It was bound to happen and IBM seems headed in the right direction - Predictive Analytics and Data Visualization converge in the cloud. In a post 911 era, analysts recognized that revealing insights required the human mind to explore data in an unconstrained manner. If they had the chance to interact with disparate data sets, visualize that data in different forms and navigate to connection points directed by their experience, they could quickly pinpoint relationships that matter.
Four years ago I spoke with a global top 10 bank that applied predictive models to detect fraudulent transactions. When I asked if they had combined this approach with data visualization to pick up on any error in the models, they responded that their analysts couldn't use those tools because they were too complex. They couldn't identify fraud networks using relationship graphs. After nearly $2 billion in fines, I wonder if they are rethinking this approach? The fact is, they could have detected money laundering among their account holders by joining the results of predictive analysis with human data discovery.
OIPC of Canada paper on the issues of Big Data & predictive analytics--can be "creepy"
Tony Agresta's insight:
This paper includes a great set of definitions around the subject of predictive analytics including a number of important applications - fraud prevention, location tracking, targeted advertising, law enforcement and intelligence. For anyone interested in predictive analytics, I suggest scanning topic headlines to identify areas of focus. Many of the fundamentals of predictive analytics are described in this paper.
Triplestores: An Introduction and Applications
Tony Agresta's insight:
Triplestores are gaining in popularity. This article does a nice job at describing what triple stores are and how they differ from graph databases. But there isn't much in the article on how triple stores are used. So here goes:
The past decades organisations have been working with relational databases to store their structured data. In the big data era however, these types of databases are not sufficient anymore.
Tony Agresta's insight:
"The amount of available NoSQL databases is growing rapidly and currently there are, as this website shows, over 150 of them. One of the more well known is MarkLogic and recently they announced MarkLogic 7, an Enterprise NoSQL that shows the vast possibilities of NoSQL databases for organisations."
One of many new features in MarkLogic 7 is Semantics including support for a triple store, SPARQL to query the triples, a triples index and cache for enhanced performance and updated APIs for developers.
With this release, Enterprise NoSQL has taken another huge step forward. Why is this so important? For the first time ever, a single unified architecture exists allowing organizations to query and apply documents, others types of unstructured data, structured data (values, for example) and semantic facts at the same time. In other words, composite queries can be built which return any combination of data allowing developers to create very rich content applications.
From the article: "Semantic triples enable relationships between pieces of data and are related more closely to the way humans think. If you combine them with Linked Open Data (facts that are freely available and in a form that is easily consumed by machines) or information from DBPedia (Wikipedia but in a structured format understandable by machines), these triples suddenly receive a meaning and give data the context required to be valuable in a semantic environment. As the founder of MarkLogic, Christopher Lindblad, explained during the summit: "Data is not information, what you have to do to get from data to information is add context."
We have already seen customers developing SPARQL queries that extract semantic facts alongside documents to graph the connections using relationship graphs. "Context" takes on new meaning when analysts can see how people are connected to places, publications, events, organizations and much more.
"Semantic search allows you to perform a combination of queries ranging from text queries, document queries, range queries or pose a query that goes over multiple data sources. It can return results that might not even contain the exact term you used in a query, but which is very closely linked to what you are looking for and therefore still relevant. It is a new way to find what you are looking for and in combination with Enterprise NoSQL the new way to understand and find corporate data."
There are some very good customer applications cited in the article by Mark van Rijmenam.
If you want to read more about this technology, I suggest you look at the review recently done by Gartner entitled Magic Quadrant
You write a query with great care, and excitedly hit the "enter" button, only to see a bunch of gobbledygook spit out on the screen.
Tony Agresta's insight:
"The real power of this approach becomes evident when one considers the hugely disparate nature of information on the Internet. An RDF powered application can build links between different pieces of data, and effectively 'learn' from the connections created by the semantic triples. This is the big (and as yet unrealized) pipe dream of the semantic Web."
If big data is a big party, Hadoop would be at the center and be surrounded by Hive, Giraph, YARN, NoSQL, and the other exotic technologies that generate so much excitement.
Tony Agresta's insight:
MarkLogic continues to enhance it's approach to NoSQL further confirming it's the adult at the party. MarkLogic 7 includes enhancements to enterprise search as well as Tiered Storage and integration with Hadoop.
Graph databases, text mining and inference allow you extract meaning from text, perform semantic analysis and aid in knowledge management and data discovery
Tony Agresta's insight:
Inference is the ability to infer new facts using existing facts. For example, if you know that Susan lives in Texas and Texas is in the USA, you can infer that Susan lives in the USA. Inference can take on much more complex scenarios the results of which can be stored inside a graph database. As these new facts are "materialized" they can inform websites, search applications and various forms of analysis. This is where the real power of inference comes into play.
Do this "at scale" requires a high performance graph database that can infer new facts while users are simultaneously querying the database and new facts are being loaded - all within an enterprise resilient environment. This blog post explains more about graph databases, inference and how the semantic integration of data can improve productivity and results.

Ontotext Improves Its RDF Triplestore, GraphDB™ 6.0: Enterprise Resilience, Faster Loading Speeds and Connectors to Full-Text Search Engines Top the List of Enhancements
From www
Sofia, Bulgaria (PRWEB) August 20, 2014 -- Today, Ontotext released GraphDB™ 6.0 including enhancements to the high availability enterprise replication cluster, faster loading speeds, higher update rates and connectors for Lucene, SOLR and Elasticsearch. GraphDB™ 6.0 is the next major release of OWLIM – the triplestore known for its outstanding support for OWL 2 and SPARQL 1.1 that already powers some of the most impressive RDF database showcases.
Tony Agresta's insight:
This press release from PRWEB summarizes the latest enhancements to GraphDB from Ontotext including improvements in load speeds, enterprise high availability replication cluster and connectors to Lucene SoRL and Elasticsearch.
Tony Agresta's insight:
There are two free white papers that I recommend you download. The Truth About Triplestores discusses the top 8 things you need to consider when evaluating a triplestore. The Meaningful Database is a product watch written by the Bloor Group about the most scalabe RDF triplestore.
Tony Agresta's insight:
More news about Open Policy was just published on SemanticWeb.com. With Ontotext inside..."LMI has developed a tool—OpenPolicy™—to provide agencies with the ability to capture the knowledge of their experts and use it to intuitively search their massive storehouse of policy at hyper speeds. Traditional search engines produce document-level results. There's no simple way to search document contents and pinpoint appropriate paragraphs. OpenPolicy solves this problem. The search tool, running on a semantic-web database platform, LMI SME-developed ontologies, and web-based computing power, can currently host tens of thousands of pages of electronic documents. Using domain-specific vocabularies (ontologies), the tool also suggests possible search terms and phrases to help users refine their search and obtain better results."

Tony Agresta's insight:
Here's another good post from Doug Wood of www.fightfinancialcrimes.com. Advances in technology are revolutionizing how fraud investigations are being done today.
Ellie Kesselman Wells's curator insight, April 28, 11:24 PM
The field is enterprise fraud detection. Investigating is the starting point. Adjudication is the final outcome of fraud detection and analysis.
Data (repositories such as enterprise data warehouses) +
Technology (secure sharing across jurisdictions, automated link discovery, non-obvious relationship detection and identity resolution) are used to uncover insights which result in adjudication and closure of a complex incident investigation.
When you use the analytical process known as discovery, I recommend that you look for tools and environments that allow you connect to NoSQL platforms
Tony Agresta's insight:
The convergence of data visualization and NoSQL is becoming a hotter topic every day. We're at the very beginning of this movement as organizations integrate many forms of data with technology to visualize relationships and detect patterns across and within data sets. There aren't many vendors that do this well today and demand is growing. Some organizations are trying to achieve big data visualization through data science as a service. Some software companies have created connectors to NoSQL (and other) data sources to reach this goal. As you would expect, deployment options run the gamut.
Examples of companies that offer data visualization generated from a variety of data sources including NoSQL are Centrifuge Systems who displays results in the form of relationship graphs, Pentaho who provides a full array of analytics including data visualization and predictive analytics and Tableau who supports dozens of data sources along with great charting and other forms of visualization. Regardless of which you choose (and there are others), the process you apply to select and analyze the data will be important.
In the article, John L Myers discusses some of the challenges users face with data discovery technology (DDT). Since DDT operates from the premise that you don't know all the answers in advance, it's more difficult to pinpoint the sources needed in the analysis. Analysts discover insights as they navigate through the data visualizations. This challenge isn't too distant from what predictive modelers face as they decide what variables they want to feed into models. They oftentimes don't know what the strongest predictors will be so they apply their experience to carefully select data. They sometimes transform specific fields allowing an attribute to exhibit greater explanatory power. BI experts have long struggled with the same issue as they try and decide what metrics and dashboards will be most useful to the business.
Here are some guidelines that may help you solve the problem. They can be used to plan your approach to data analysis.
If you take these steps upfront and work with a tool that allows you to easily connect to a variety of data sources, you can quickly test your theory, profile and adjust the variables used in your analysis and create meaningful results the organization can use. But if you go into the exercise without any data planning, without any goals in mind, you are bound to waste cycle times trying to decide what to include in your analysis and what not to include. Granted, you won't be able to account for every data analysis issue your department or company has. The purpose of this exercise is to frame the questions you want to ask of the data in support of a more directed approach to data visualization.
Intelligence-led-decisions should be well received by your cohorts and applied more readily with this type of up front planning. The steps you take to analyze the data will run more smoothly. You will be able to explain and better defend the data visualization path you've taken to arrive at conclusions. In other words, the story will be more clear when you present it.
Consider the types of visualizations supported by the analytics technology when you do this. Will you need temporal analysis? Will you require relationship graphs that show connections between people, events, organizations and more? Do you need geospatial visualizations to prove your hypothesis? A little bit of planning when using data discovery and NoSQL technology will go a long way in meeting your analytical needs.
Big Oil Drills Into Big Data
Tony Agresta's insight:
Now here's a compelling reason to apply big data technology - Down for 2 days, down $1 million. Big Oil needs to collect and analyze massive amounts of data generated by equipment to reduce down time and anticipate outages. It's critical in Big Oil - both offshore or onshore.
A related application that is not referenced in the post is the use of data visualization to identify the locations and connection points for replacement parts. By analyzing the inventory of parts using network graphs and maps, analysts can identify locations and the shortest paths that need to be taken to optimize delivery times.
Big data is everywhere and it can help organisations any industry in many different ways.
Tony Agresta's insight:
If you have not had the chance to review some of the free sources of big data that can enhance your content applications, take a look at the Linked Open Data Graph. It's updated daily and you can learn more by searching for the CKAN API. This graph represents tens of billions of semantic facts about a diverse set of topics. These facts have been used to enhance many content driven web sites allowing users to learn more about music, geography, populations and much more.
Tony Agresta's insight:
Here are some key findings in this report vis a vis MarkLogic:
What's interesting is that these findings are all related - you can't achieve a license install base of this magnitude with extraordinary levels of customer satisfaction unless you have enterprise features. With MarkLogic, users don't need to build these features since they already exist. What's the end result? - Time savings, security, more information products, higher levels of customer satisfaction and a competitive advantage in the market.

State Street s David Saul argues big data is better when it s smart data.
Tony Agresta's insight:
Banking, like many industries, faces challenges in the area of data consolidation. Addressing this challenge can require the use of semantic technology to accomplish the following:
"What's needed is a robust data governance structure that puts underlying meaning to the information. You can have the technology and have the standards, but within your organization, if you don't know who owns the data, who's responsible for the data, then you don't have good control."
Some organizations have built data governance taxonomies to identify the important pieces of data that need to be surfaced in rich semantic applications focused on risk or CRM, for example. Taxonomies and ontologies understand how data is classified and relationships between the types of data. In turn, they can be used to create facts about the data which can be stored in modern databases (enterprise NoSQL) and used to drive smart applications.
Lee Fulmer, a London-based managing director of cash management for JPMorgan Chase says the creation of [data governance] standards is paramount for fueling adoption, because even if global banks can work out internal data issues, they still have differing regulatory regimes across borders that will require that the data be adapted.
"The big paradigm shift that we need, that would allow us to leverage technology to improve how we do our regulatory agenda in our banking system. If we can come up with a set of standards where we do the same sanction reporting, same format, same data transcription, same data transmission services, to the Canadians, to the Americans, to the British, to the Japanese, it would reduce a huge amount of costs in all of our banks."
Semantic technology is becoming an essential way to govern data, create a common language, build rich applications and, in turn, reduce risk, meet regulatory requirements and reduce costs.

3.38/5 rDev -17%
On draft at Capone's in Philadelphia.
The beer is hazy yellow with minimal head and lacing. The aroma is pretty weak, with some faint pilsner scents. The flavor is pretty good, with a healthy malt showing. Mild bitterness is present in the finish. Overall, a decent pilsner and pretty drinkable.

On tap at Capone's. Served in a mini snifter.
Pour yields a very, very hazy yellow color with a very short head that refuses to rise no matter the number of swirls. The aroma brings some nice Tettnang hops with a bit of grain. Perhaps too much grain. The taste improves with a better hop hit and less straight grainy malt. Good bitterness and a light body. Dry finish. Pretty decent, though no match for Prima Pils.

3.53/5 rDev -13.3%
Poured on tap at Church Key into a nice tall glass.
A cloudy straw orb glowing body, with a white slight rock hard head. Body is lemon color at bottom giving way to a dull yellow with good carbonation, leaving a simple collar through drinking and minimal lacing.
The Bouquet is a faint mild lemongrass, and very clean spritzy sensation, but also a dead lifeless yeast? I don't know how to say it... kind of strange yeast smell.
Taste is very crisp, with a big carbon dioxide finish that quickly disappears though. Extremely dry. Hop punch is short and dry and quick while finish seems to be a tad crazy, but there are also nice whisps of white bread throughout quaffing this beer.
This one doesn't really grab me compared to Prima Pils or other breweries making this style. It's still overall fairly okay I'll give it that.

3.58/5 rDev -12%
On tap @ the VBC (Downingtown, PA) on 7/3/11. Served in a Pilsner glass.
Pours a clear copper, topped with a finger of frothy bright-white head. This has a solid looking creamy retention to it, and a big rich flare-up to boot, leaving back thick swathes of heavy lace. The aroma is grassy and spicy in the nose, with some bright smelling citrus flavors (lemon, in particular, stands out), while the tight toasted graininess from the malts offer up more than enough support underneath.
Hops take control in the taste, with an assertive feel that lays a big ole' smack of lemon tartness down on the tongue first, before giving way to a spicy leafiness and bitter rind character that sticks in the mouth with a dry and pithy feel. The malts provide a rigid supportive sweetness underneath but the overall profile here is mostly about those hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, with a strong prickly crispness that is quite assertive on the tongue, before smoothing out along the back.
Well this was most definitely pretty hop forward and your enjoyment of this will probably depend on just how bitter you like your Pils. While this wasn't quite up to the standards of some of the other entries in the Braumeister series, this will still do in a pinch if you're yearning for a crisp and quenching beer.

3.63/5 rDev -10.8%
Appears a hazy light gold with a small white cap that quickly fades out into gentle speckles of lacing. Tiny streams of CO2 slowly rise to the top.
Smell is of floral, perfumey hops with an earthy, dough like undertone.
Taste is of yeasty, bready, light citrus peel, flowers, and honeysuckle.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, sugary, earthy, mildly bitter in the swallow, with a German hop garden lingering in the swallow.

pour is transparent light gold with a foamy slightly off white head. Nose has strong grain, lightly sticky malt, soapy hops, herbal, lightly resignous. Taste is more herbal, strong bitterness, grain is much more muted, citrus comes through in the finish. Lightly carbonated, fairly dry.

3.7/5 rDev -9.1%
On tap at Capone's in late April, this is being reviewed from notes taken on April 23. Poured into a pint glass.
The body is straw-colored and a bit hazy, there is not much of a head on top of it, as it comes to me about 1/2 cm in height, fading quickly. Regardless of agitation, it won't return. Lacing is also not present. A bit disappointing to see such an uninspiring pour.
Aroma is definitely Czech, as the earthy and stanky hops do make an appearance. There is a touch of grainy malt character that detracts from it a bit, but overall, it's alright. The flavor is a bit more well rounded as the graininess is lost in the flavor of the hops and the related bitterness.
Light bodied and easy drinking, while this is no standout pils when juxtaposed against Prima, it isn't bad at all. I think that a bit of tweaking could bring this experimental pils into the realm of awesome.

3.9/5 rDev -4.2%
On-tap at Stag's Head, New York, NY
A: The beer is crystal clear straw yellow in color and has a very slight amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a finger high bright white head that slowly died down, leaving only a thin collar around the edge of the glass.
S: There are light to moderate aromas of grassy hops in the nose.
T: like the smell, the taste has flavors of grassy hops along with hints of spicy hops towards the finish. There is a moderate amount of bitterness.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This isn't as balanced compared to the regular Prima Pils but is an interesting pilsner on its own.

On Tap at Resurrection Ale House.
Color is a bright yellow with some faint touches of gold within, it does not quite look as pale as some macros's, but looks pretty similar. A nice whisp of white bubbles grace the top for a few and leave no lace. Smell is fairly floral with the tettang taking center stage with a trace amount of pale malt running behind. Grassy notes in taste with some florals mixing in with some pilsner malts, pretty light all together, yet the tettnang manages to stick through for the whole 16oz's. Feel is light bodied with a crisp yet not bitey carb going for it. This is a nice pils. A bit brighter in flavor than Victory's other year round pils, yet that might be because this is a fresh ass keg. I could drink two pints of this before tiring of it, which is one more than most pils I have.

Purchased a growler of this from Charleston Beer Exchange yesterday and I am excited to try this.
Emerges from the growler a clear, slightly amber hued golden color with a respectable amount of lacing and head retention.
Aroma is very nice. Noble type hops with a decent amount of cracker like, white bread maltiness. Smells like Germany, even though I am here in Myrtle Beach.
A great beer overall. Smooth, hoppy, pleasant, very enjoyable. Glad I got this growler.

Actor/producer/director Noah Emmerich made a name for himself onscreen with memorable supporting roles in such features as Cop Land (1997), The Truman Show (1998), and the uplifting Disney hockey drama Miracle (2004). With a chameleon-like ability to disappear into his characters and a solid drama background, Emmerich threw himself into every role no matter how small or seemingly inconsequential. A New York native who attended Yale University and the N.Y.U. Film School, he sang a cappella with the former's Yale Spizzwinks before making the award-winning short The Painter at N.Y.U. Following graduation, he appeared in such small-screen efforts as If Someone Had Known (1995) and Smoke Jumpers (1996), and had higher-profile roles in wide theatrical releases like Beautiful Girls (1996) and Crazy in Alabama (1999). Emmerich was generally relegated to playing rather one-dimensional authority figures in his early movies, though later got more prominent roles in The Truman Show and Love & Sex (2000). In subsequent years, Emmerich appeared almost exclusively in such high-profile releases as Windtalkers (2002), Beyond Borders (2003), and Miracle (2004). The brother of producer Toby Emmerich, Noah also established a production company, Sandbox Entertainment. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

I grew up in a competitive family. We made everything into a contest: Monopoly, chess, backgammon, grades, kids, jobs. I hold my own on most fronts, but in one arena I have got to say I am thoroughly trounced. With one brother living in Seattle and another in Los Angeles, I admit to severe sibling jealousy when it comes to Asian food. So, when I heard that 3 Chefs had opened near the Arsht Center, I was eager to check it out.
With more than 150 items, the menu is vast and includes Vietnamese fare as well as a "secret menu" written in Chinese without translation (or, it turns out, a translator). Most items fall into the American Chinese category that includes crab Rangoon, barbecued spare ribs and sweet and sour pork. It seems 3 Chefs, which also has menu items in Spanish, is trying to be all things to all people. Two visits are not enough to fully explore the virtues and vices of such an ambitious undertaking, but what we've sampled so far won't earn me bragging rights at Thanksgiving.
Ambience: The spot is clean and pleasant with its gold vinyl chairs, flat screen TVs, black faux marble tabletops and slightly wilting bouquets. For those who prefer outdoor dining there are aluminum café tables on the sidewalk. An enthusiastic waitress whose accent is more Queens than Canton is eager to help, though her knowledge of Chinese cuisine could fit in a fortune cookie.

Student success is very important to TTC*. That's why we are implementing a new 7-week compressed schedule. Starting Fall Semester 2014, TTC will offer most courses in this 7-week compressed format.** Much research shows that students are more successful in compressed courses. Additionally, students in compressed courses typically report greater satisfaction with their classes.
What is a compressed format?
In a compressed format, your schedule is divided into shorter terms within the semester. For example, instead of taking four semester-long courses, a student would take two 7-week courses at a time. That student still would complete four courses in a semester but would be juggling only two in each term.
Compressed courses cover the same content and are worth the same credits as full-semester, 15-week courses. All courses that currently transfer will still transfer.
|Fall Semester 2014
|Fall 1 Term 2014
7-week term
(Aug. 25-Oct. 13)
1 week
|Fall 2 Term 2014
7-week term
(Oct. 22-Dec. 13)
|Fall Full Term 2014
15-week term, including a 1-week break
(Aug. 25-Dec. 13)
Sample Full-Time and Part-Time Compressed Schedules
How will this format affect my financial aid?
All current forms of financial aid will continue to be available; however, refunds will be issued each term within the semester rather than once per semester, according to the number of credit hours you are taking each term. The Financial Aid office will continue to work with you to enable you to receive all the aid for which you are eligible.
*Success rate: the total of A, B, C and SC (satisfactory) grades as a percentage of all grades other than I (incomplete) or AU (audits).
**This format will be used for Fall Semester and Spring Semester. Summer Semester courses will not change.

Concert review: Punch Brothers (with Anais Mitchell) knock out the Sheldon Concert Hall with brilliant musicianship, Friday, January 25
"This is kind of one of our favorite rooms in the whole country," said Punch Brothers banjoist Noam Pikelny as he looked into the sold-out crowd that lined the rows of the Sheldon Concert Hall for this KDHX-presented show.
This evening marked my first visit to the Sheldon; the venue struck me as a little surreal. I overhead a man behind me saying it reminded him of his college biology lecture hall, which is probably pretty accurate (though most lecture halls aren't this acoustically clear or have such a handsome stage). The building that houses the concert hall also has an art gallery, as well as a gift shop and a ballroom where weddings and other events take place. It's not your typical concert venue. But then again, Punch Brothers aren't your typical band.
Cheerful chatter and excited remarks echoed throughout the theater, but as soon as first artist Anais Mitchell opened her mouth, the talkative crowd turned completely silent. Mitchell, accompanied by just an acoustic guitar on stage, played a powerful, fiery 35-minute set that featured a few songs from her 2010 folk-opera "Hadestown," some from her soon-to-be released album "Child Ballads," and one that she said she could barely remember because of how old it was. She told a few cute stories, like thinking St. Louis was on the border of Kansas because of the Tom Waits' lyric, "I broke down in East St. Louis, on the Kansas City line," but for the most part let her music do the talking.
The simple backing guitar of the songs made it easy to pay attention to the lyrics, which was especially nice because of how beautiful the words were. "Come September" and an untitled new song, probably from "Child Ballads," had a great snarl and passion in the vocals, but also a sweetness to them. "When I think of my freedom, I feel so lonely," she sang in the new song. "And when I feel lonely, I want you to hold me, hold me in your arms."
Punch Brothers took to their favorite stage shortly after, dressed in classic three-piece suits, all with matching, beaten-up leather shoes.
Each member of the band has his own distinct playing style. Guitarist Chris Eldridge stands perfectly still for the most part and looks almost like a marionette who can only move his fingers across his strings. Gabe Witcher rocks back and forth while he fiddles, Noam Pikelny does a sort of glide step with his banjo and Paul Kowert stands wrapped around his bass, almost like he's hugging it. And then of course there's Chris Thile, the mandolin-playing, Jude Law lookalike whose animated kicks and electrified shakes seemed more like something you'd see in a punk band than a traditional bluegrass quintet.
They started with "Movement and Location" from 2011′s "Who's Feeling Young Now?" but quickly broke into a five-minute long jam session, complete with solos from most of the band. While one member showed off his talent, the rest of the band watched in admiration.
The instrumental breakdown ended with Thile and Witcher in a mandolin vs. fiddle noodling battle, which eventually broke into "This Girl," one of their most popular songs. For the most part, the band went back and forth between recognizable tracks and instrumental numbers. "The last song was a song in Swedish," Pikelny said at one point. "You may not have noticed because it was instrumental." I kept trying to decide if I liked the poppier, more indie-rock songs that I recognized or the incredibly well-played instrumental bits better, but realized I couldn't decide. Both sounded spectacular.
A few times, the band members all broke into dance together, as when they began doing box steps during "Next to the Trash." The dancing seemed rehearsed, but I didn't mind that you could tell the set was so planned out. There still was an exciting, original and wild feel to it, almost more like a play than a typical concert.
In addition to its original songs, the band played a handful of great covers. For a version of the Strokes' "Reptilia," the replacement of repeating electric guitar strums with mandolin strums made it sound entirely different. Punch Brothers also played a cheerful cover of classic country song "Through the Bottom of the Glass," where Eldridge took over on vocals.
Punch Brothers pushed aside their microphones for the encore, which featured two more covers done entirely acoustic. "Living in the Mississippi Valley," a John Hartford cover, was nice, but nothing blew me away more than when Thile did a solo cover of Bach. Yes, that Bach. As Thile plucked away, I found it incredible that one man could play on a mandolin what was meant for a full orchestra.
I'd been thinking about it for a while, but at that point, I realized Punch Brothers are probably one of the most talented groups of musicians in the world today. At that point, I realized just how different and special Punch Brothers truly are.

Personal Tech-Wielding Docs Challenge IT Leaders
With a mix of employed and nonemployed physicians, it's possible that Maimonidies might be able to reduce its burden to purchase, implement, and maintain client devices, Davidson says. A study dating back to the 2006 HIMSS conference found that hospitals need one device per active person using devices. But referring to the Allscripts client he saw, Davidson notes that it only solves the tablet problem for one application. "It doesn't solve access to all the other applications in the hospital that people have to use."
At Vanderbilt University Medical Center, a 916-licensed-bed facility in Nashville, BYOD is "a journey," says William W. Stead, MD, associate vice chancellor for health affairs and chief strategy and information officer.
"Our bias is that we have to incorporate whatever consumer technologies people have, rather than trying to stop that," Stead says. The medical center's increasingly virtualized clinical desktop is the enabler, he adds.
Another advantage of BYOD is it lets clinicians move all their personal messaging off the Vanderbilt email system and into a more appropriate system such as Gmail, Stead says. "I can still see messages as they come into both [mailboxes], interleaved as they arrive.
"Prior to that, either everybody put everything into Vanderbilt [messaging] whether it needs to be there or not, or they forward everything Vanderbilt out, so nothing's secure. So once you begin to use some side by side and use the technology to knit them together so they look like one to the user, you create a win for the user, and you actually increase your ability to secure the part that needs to be maintained securely."

Drivers' challenge over CCTV fines in Leytonstone
Updated 2:43pm Thursday 27th February 2014 in News By Natalie Glanvill, Reporter - Waltham Forest
Motorists are set to challenge a series of fines issued after new CCTV camera was installed.
A meeting at Wood Street Post Office in Walthamstow saw dozens of other drivers came together to vent their anger after receiving tickets.
A 24-hour bus lane in Whipps Cross Road, Leytonstone, is now being monitored by a new CCTV camera installed at traffic lights on the entrance to the Green Man roundabout.
The road markings for the bus lane end about 10m before the roundabout to enable increased access.
But drivers claim they are still being fined once the markings have ended because a sign indicating the end of the restriction was recently moved closer to the roundabout.
Post office owner Aman Sadana, 24, from Barking, has received three penalty charge notices (PCN) with a minimum fine of £65 each since February 6 and claims motorists are being wrongfully targeted and illegally fined.
He said: "I'm worried to go home at night in case I have more fines waiting for me on my doorstep. I have been using this route three times a day for seven years and have always stayed clear of the bus lane.
"I don't care if the council want to put up a camera but we are being fined for entering the correct lane as the traffic moves to turn left.
"This is nothing short than a money-making scheme."
Katherine Penton, 41 of Colchester Road in Leytonstone, has also received a ticket and believes many motorists may have been targeted.
She said: "It feels like a stealth tax on people. When you're fined for doing something wrong then fair enough but if you've then something believing to be legitimate and they change the sign half-way through then it's not fair.
"It's absolutely bonkers and thousands must be getting hit."
Emma Moore, of Hecham Close in Walthamstow, received her £65 fine on Tuesday.
The 32 year-old said: "It's very upsetting as someone who follows the rules and abides by the law. It feels like the council is trying to milk us and get what they can possibly because of a shortfall in their finances."
A council spokeswoman said: "We have a duty to enforce proper use of bus lanes to ensure that buses can deliver essential public transport services and this lane is also used by ambulances needing access to Whipps Cross Hospital.
"The static camera was introduced on February 6 in place of the CCTV vehicle we had used previously, which by the very nature of this stretch of road had proved impractical, and we have been monitoring the camera's effectiveness since.
"All of the signage in the area has been approved by the Department for Transport but motorists can of course follow the usual appeals process if they feel a ticket is unjustified."

Curious how the usually publicity-hungry Mr Loakes has nothing to say.
The council is still in illegal possession of tens of thousands of pounds levied by an invalid box junction in Leytonstone High Rd a few years ago, so it should never be assumed that any statement by the council is legal or truthful.
• LEYTONSTONE: Ruling prompts re-think of box junction policy

5:12pm Wednesday 11 November 2009
• A LEADING councillor has said the authority has "worked hard" to notify people that they are eligible for refunds for fines from an illegal box junction.
• LEYTONSTONE: Council forced to refund thousands in traffic fines
10:24am Wednesday 27 February 2008
• THOUSANDS of pounds in traffic fines will be refunded by Waltham Forest Council after the Government said a controversial box junction may have broken official guidelines
Remember, until they have your money they haven't won.
If the council stand firm , a mass appeal to the Adjudicator will tell its own story.
This council has one of the highest percentages of appeals granted, so have courage - and remember to vote the scoundrels out!
There is, needless to say, no practical need for this piece of bus lane to be 24 hours at all.

It's yet another money making scam from Labour led Waltham Forest Council.
They haven't been able to put up council tax for the last 4 years so are now getting really desperate to find other ways of funding their waste and incompetence.

I have 3 friends with 3 PCN's each due to the illegal action by LBWF
Do not pay the PCN for this. LBWF are imbeciles and are taking advantage of the situation.
The LBWF spokesman is incorrect and they cannot have authorisation of the sign and road markings from Department of Transports because beyond argument this bus lane is non-compliant.
Repeat - do not pay the fine.
Firstly, where is the Traffic Management Order that extends the Bus Lane?
The first sign SHOULD be 35m - 45m before the taper on the bus lane markings.This initial sign has been invalid since 2006
The road markings are wrong. The "Bus and (cycle symbol) Only" markings MUST ONLY be used in bus lane contra-flow - this is a with-flow scheme.
The "End of of Bus Lane" sign has been moved 30m+ down the road. No TMO changes or warning sign to motorists.
If LBWF want to enforce the bus lane then I have no issue with them doing it in a compliant fashion and proper warning about changes to a enforcement of a bus lane that goes back to 2006.
Challenge to "Council spokesman" is show me the Department of Transport approval because you are not compliant with Chapter 1 and Chapter 5 of the traffic sign regulations that the embedded in law.

If you have made the same 'mistake' 3 times you'd think they had learned a lesson?
I need to correct my first post.
The traffic signs are in Chapter 3 section 15.9
And Chapter 5 section 17.6

It's scary there are so many idiot drivers out there who don't know how to drive properly.

The issue here is that there are people who will cut into the end of the bus lane early-plus of course there could be a bus coming up....if you intend moving over to the left here you really should be watching the mirror rather than the somewhat vague signage.
"If no sign is visible, assume that the bus lane is operational 24 hours a day."

You seriously find it difficult to drive along and notice traffic signs? It's a pretty basic driving skill, if in doubt, stay out.

Beard Styles | by Kick Beard
Van Dyke Beard Style
The Van Dyke beard is a goatee combined with a Copstash Standard mustache, usually the two are not connected. This style of beard is named after 17th century Flemish painter Anthony van Dyck. This beard style also spelled Vandyck or Van Dyck.
This style of beard was popular in Europe in the 17th century. It died out in Britain with the Restoration, when French styles and wigs became popular. Van Dyke became popular in the United States in the 19th century. Chicago Chronicle columnist Edith Sessions Tupper condemned this beard style, along with the goatee, as indicative of a man "who was selfish, sinister, and pompous as a peacock." Nevertheless, the style became symbolic of the United States government.
How to trim a Van Dyke
This style was named after the seventeenth-century Flemish painter Sir Anthony Van Dyke (also spelled Van Dyck), who was known for his religious themed paintings and regal portraits (in which many of the big-shots sported beards just like his). Typically, the style consists of a short, pointy beard and a waxed pointy mustache, without hair on the side of the face.
- Stop shaving for about one week. At this point, your whiskers will be shorter than necessary to achieve this style; however, you can begin shaping it while keeping the rest of your face clean-shaven.
- Using a razor or shaver attachment, shave your cheeks clean, leaving your chin whiskers and mustache intact. As your chin beard (goatee) grows longer, carefully trim into a pointed shape using an unguarded trimmer and a careful technique. You don't want to trim too deeply into the beard or snip off the tip you've worked so hard to grow!
- Twist the ends of your mustache into points, applying a light-weight wax to maintain the shape.

I spent 3 weeks in Lucban Quezon to be part of an evangelistic effort of Piis Seventh-Day Adventist Church. The event took place on a tent that could give shelter to 50 people. The meetings lasted 14 nights with an American speaker. My part was to translate his message in Tagalog. 14 people were baptized at the end of the meetings.
Picture # 1 Baptism of Liezl. Pastor Peras officiated the baptism.
Picture # 2 The 14 people who decided to give their life to Jesus.
Picture # 3 Michael, the speaker for the effort tells the story of Jesus. That's me on the right, translating what he is saying.
Picture # 4 Jezreel and Jethro are theology students who helped us throughout the series. They went to the houses of the attendees and gave bible study there.

What a scene of peace and serenity! Hello there Ellie!
The PAC collegiate trip in Padre Burgos Quezon in pictures.
I wish many more students joined the trip :) The trip was an escape from the scorching heat of Manila and at the same time from our busy lives. We got to spend a lot of time travelling on the sea. No electricity, no roads, no internet. The trip was a wonderful experience for all of us! Thanks to Nica's parents for accompanying and bringing us to this place! The food was really fresh and delicious!
The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. - Psalm 19:1
Beautiful sunset in Padre Burgos, Quezon. Oh boy my 40d and Sigma 10-20 did the job again! No full frame cameras during my trip to Quezon for the PAC Collegiate Ministry!

I dunno, depends. Superman has the Fortress of Solitude, for example. And even for those who are out of their homes those are still Bases of Operation they work out of.
The Fortress is more of man cave than a headquarters. He goes there to unwind and store his trophies. He probably spends more time at the Planet or his apartment in Metropolis.
Some HQs were ripoffs of Batman, like the Arrow Cave and the Aquacave. Guys like Flash and the Atom worked out of the lab their civilian ID's were employed at. Hawkman was based out of the museum were he worked as Carter Hall.( though he had a spaceship, too) Black Canary used her Flower Shop as a base of operations. (Green Arrow did to for a while).
Over at Marvel, Captain America lived at Avenger's Mansion. but later had an apartment in Brooklyn as Steve Rogers. For Iron Man, any Stark Enterprise facility is his. Spider-Man worked out of his room at Aunt May's and later his own apartment. Bruce Banner had a hidden lab for a while, that he used to fine a cure and imprison the Hulk, but mostly the Hulk was homeless.
The boring one, the one with Khan, the one where Spock returns, the one with whales, the dumb one, the last one, the one with Kirk, the one with the Borg, the stupid one, the bad one, the new one, the other one with Khan.

Curis Inc. Stock Downgraded (CRIS)
Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Curis (Nasdaq:CRIS) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to sell. Among the areas we feel are negative, one of the most important has been the company's poor growth in earnings per share.
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Check out TheStreet's special offer for Real Money, headlined by Jim Cramer, now!
- CURIS INC has improved earnings per share by 33.3% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, CURIS INC reported poor results of -$0.13 versus -$0.06 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 7.7% in earnings (-$0.14 versus -$0.13).
- This stock has increased by 34.09% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Looking ahead, however, we cannot assume that the stock's past performance is going to drive future results. Quite to the contrary, its sharp appreciation over the last year is one of the factors that should prompt investors to seek better opportunities elsewhere.
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Biotechnology industry and the overall market, CURIS INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Biotechnology industry. The net income increased by 41.2% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$4.91 million to -$2.89 million.
- CRIS's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 7.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 1010.2%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
