Perez Hilton Poses Gay Marriage Question to Miss Californiaby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Last night, Kristen Dalton was crowned Miss USA.
While the hopeful motivational speaker clearly earned the crown on her own merit, it didn't hurt when Carrie Prejean (Miss California) lost the support of one judge following her response to his question in the interview round.
Celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton asked Prejean for her opinion on the legalization of gay marriage.
After stumbling through an answer that included how great it is for America to give its citizens the choice of same-sex unions versus those involving the opposite sex, Prejean said she was raised to believe marriage is only between a man and a woman.
Our staff is as pro-gay marriage as we are anti-Perez Hilton, so we're equally disappointed by Miss California's reply.
How do you feel about it? Leave a comment. Let us know!
Perez, your fighting the wrong battle here. You need to keep your own thoughts to YOURSELF.I feel she had a right to express her beliefs. Bring Jesus back into our lifes so we dont have this kind of stupidity in our world.
Hilton is wrong, pure and simple. The woman was asked a question, and she expressed her personal opinion, which is our right to do in this country. Hilton claimed her answer caused her to lose the beauty contest. If that's the case, then Hilton should be removed as a judge because he obviously can't be objective and unbiased.
Why is some gay guy a judge in a woman's beauty contest anyway?
Hilton is an idiot, pure and simple
Way to go Carrie, i along with the MAJORITY of america support you!!
never heard of this perez bitch! what the hell happen to leaving hot ladies do there thing.shouldnt this sexually confused person be judging some parade in san fransisco.
I guess Perez Hilton will not tolerate any intolerance.
This just shows that the homosexuals are very intolerant and prejudiced. After all, all along, they have saying that they want people to tolerate their lifestyles. Well, Carrie is entitled to her own opinion. She was asked by this hate-monger, Perez, and she gave an honest answer nicely and politely. Too bad, the homosexuals and Hollywood-bred hypocrites didn't like the answer. That's discriminatory. The question was politically motivated and Carrie was discriminated because of her preference on heterosexual marriage. I thought Hollywood establishment was against discrimination, no? The event should now be called "Miss Lesbian USA" and only lesbians need to apply.
It's obvious. The thought police have taken over the Miss USA contest. Time for a Miss Real-USA contest. This has officially jumped the shark. Perez, the clock is ticking on your 15 minutes.... tick..tick...tick...
Since when is it a crime to stand up for one's convictions? Much of the left is constantly screaming about the "intolerance" of the right; it cannot even hold a candle to the intolerance of the left. Few liberals are truly interested in discussion or debate. The preferred method is to "win" arguments through emotion and name calling, not logic; through calling the opponent a "blankophobe" or a hater; and through trying to censor, suppress, or punish their ability to state their opinion. I greatly admire Miss Prejean for having the guts to state her conviction even though she had to know it would hurt her chances to win.
You know all you two faced liberal extremist(is that how you say it?)can say all you want to about anything and anyone and it is ok. Let someone else say something you disagree with and it's tie them to the stakes and burn them. You, Perez Hilton do you realize people that really count could care less about you and your life style. What you did to Miss Ca was dirty low life at trying to quantify your perverted life style. You relished in taking someone down who didn't agree with your perverted bliefs and lifestyle. I will lay odds you knew about Miss Ca's opinion and beliefs before you ask that loaded question. It is is obvious you set her up, and she was strong enough to answer honestly and did not give up her intigrity to satisfy the likes of your sicko life style (oh that's my opinion). Up yours Perez, remember what goes around comes around for what you did to Miss California. When it happens whenever remember what you did to set her up.
Her opinion was fully honest and full of respect compared to Perez Hilton whose comments in his interviews were very disrespectful and vulgar on his references to name calling directed to her. Overflowing with hypocrisy and filled with hate his statements. Very immature and not a good example of promoting freedom of speech in a respectful manor(only his views are acceptable?) The audience obviously agreed with her comments-He is obviously very bitter and not comfortable with who he is.

Acceptance Doesnât Mean Condoning a Loved Oneâs Addiction
Wednesday, October 20th, 2010
It is difficult to recognize what acceptance is in this context. I went through this with my family for the past two decades â going back and forth about what it mean to accept that my child has a problem with drugs.
The initial reaction to drug abuse is often resistance and disgust. Parents and teens can dance a pattern of cause, effect and reaction; again and again, not realizing what they are dealing with until it is too late. In doing this, we lose opportunities for early intervention [download the Intervention e-Book]. We are too eager to believe our kidâs half-hearted contritionâs and resume the illusion of ânormalcy.â
Thatâs the trap. It is important to notice behavior in a teen and consider drug tests (Note: While home drug tests can be unreliable, having a doctor perform a drug test can be a helpful tool; Although be aware that teens find all sorts of ways to beat these tests and even professional tests can be inaccurate) to determine if a positive result should lead to intervention. If the result is oxyâs, heroin, meth, or anything like that, then, YES! Accept it and map out some solutions. And in the process, donât forget to take care of yourself.
Unfortunately, our communities offer too little assistance and are quick to toss young addicts in jail for their petty drug-related crimes. Drug addiction in anyoneâs family is a big cross to bear and helping an addict is not an easy path. Acceptance helps.
Acceptance and courage are old attributes. In life, we all get a chance to test these qualities; like the farmer watching his crops flood alongside an overflowing river. His first reaction is denial! After accepting the urgency of the condition, the farmer would build sandbag levees. That is acceptance and transformation of agony into courage and action. A parent building the levees of preparation for intervention or treatment for a teen bitten by addiction is like stepping into a vision that recovery and redemption are entirely possible. Acceptance in that context does not mean condoning drug addiction.
A parent can be tempted to believe that their child has ruined his life, but that person still needs to be accepted and feel hope. Addiction has a path of its own, and can trump what you do, so be prepared.
Have a plan without feeling a need to force it (download the Treatment e-Book). Look hard into the condition you are faced with. Be intentional, but donât try and be God. When an opportunity arises, you will be ready to take action.
Even with all the money or support in the world, it simply is not a parentâs sole responsibility to solve this problem for their child; your loved one has to choose recovery and believe they can succeed. At the end of the day, we are often left feeling powerless, but that doesnât equal âgiving upâ or ârejecting an ugly conditionâ; it is a stark recognition of what one does not control. That is what acceptance feels like.

Like me, you may be seeing the headlines from the Food and Drug Administrationâs (FDA) announcement late yesterday that an existing medication for the treatment of alcohol dependence has now been approved for the treatment of opioid dependence. The approval of the medication is for use among adults over the age of 18 and is phrased by the FDA as, âfor the prevention of relapse to opioid dependence.âÂ
This could be a major positive development for families with a young adult dealing with an addiction to prescription pain medications or heroin. The non-narcotic, non-addictive medication, Vivitrol from the company Alkermes is certain to get the attention of physicians, treatment professionals, patients and their families. Because addiction is a chronic disease of the human brain, and opioid addiction, in particular, is so often characterized by frequent relapse, this new FDA approval could mean that a person entering treatment for addiction to an opioid would have the benefit of a once-monthly, opioid-blocking medication during treatment and for some period afterward.Â
My view is that this medication, or any medication of this kind, must be used at the same time with appropriate addiction treatment services, including psychosocial support. I believe that is consistent with what experts are saying about the emerging field of Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT). MAT is an approach to treatment of substance use disorders that combines use of a medication with appropriate treatment services, including counseling and behavioral therapy.Â
This should come as good news to parents who are at the center of our mission. Over the past year, The Partnership at Drugfree.org has worked closely with parents and experts in the treatment and recovery field to create Time To Get Help.This new treatment resource and community helps parents and caregivers gain a better understanding of teen alcohol and drug abuse, dependence and addiction; get support from experts and other parents who have been there and understand the challenges and emotions of caring for an addicted child; and find the right treatment for their child and family.Â
I encourage Intervene readers to take a closer look at Time To Get Help, share it with others and also provide us feedback on how to make this new resource better and more useful in the future. It absolutely must reflect the needs of families and address all the key areas of concern. For example, pincluding more information and a deeper understanding of MAT and what the options are? What are your thoughts on opioid addiction and approaches like MAT? We would love to hear from you.

As a teenager I read Nathaniel Hawthorneâs novel, The Scarlet Letter. For those of that havenât read it, the book chronicles the trials and tribulations of Hester Pyrnne, a young woman living in a New England Puritan community during the 18th century. Hawthorne describes a scene where Hester, who has been accused of adultery, is led from the prison carrying her infant daughter borne of her affair. A scarlet rag, shaped in the letter âAâ, is noticeable against the breast of her gown. It is the symbol of her sin of adultery — her badge of shame.
This story came flooding back into my mind when my husband, Ed, and I were at a neighborhood barbeque. At the time, our son Alex was in an inpatient rehab program. One of our neighbors, Iâll call him Joe, cornered me to ask how Alex was doing. I didnât know Joe well, but my general impression was that he was a gossiper. I had heard from another neighbor that Joe was looking for juicy details about Alexâs drug use and his incident with the police.

Weâve heard that necessity is the mother of invention and that change emerges when you canât keep doing something the same way. Mental balance is sometimes that necessity. Positive change and acceptance are more than just talking and coping. Itâs not necessarily as complicated as it sounds. Change in context to acceptance is powerful and it takes courage to break through the destructive patterns that are in the way. Change is born of courage. Acceptance is what we give something we know we are powerless with. Wisdom is knowing that difference. In a nut shell, thatâs the serenity prayer. It has served those impacted by the actions of an addict as much as it has any addict.
In a 2007 film about addiction, Things We Lost in The Fire, Benicio Del Toro plays a heroin addict so convincingly you might think you're right there feeling acceptance and compassion for his struggle. It works both ways. The film shows an innocent side to addiction as a disease and the miracle of compassion that is attracted when courage and acceptance meet. After years of shooting heroin, Jerry (Del Toro) endures a brutal detox in the home of his best friend's widow, Audrey (Halle Berry).Â

I'm walking down the street on the way to the library in Green Bay. It's 80 degrees , the air is still and so humid that it feels like it is pressing in on me. I got up late this morning. It was so hot last night that my wife and I delayed going to bed. No air conditioning. As I look around, the stillness and lack of people outside make it appear that I am walking in a scene from the Twilight Zone. What time is it? I am not connected to any job, to any other people. The backpack digs into my shoulders, heavy with my job, my life. This is what it takes to create a breakthrough in artificial intelligence – a laptop computer, a 3 ring binder filled with my text, diagrams and pages of scribbling about to be transferred to a Word document, a programming book to work on later, and my lunch.
It occurs to me how disconnected from the lives of typical people I am. It's not certain if my project will succeed. No one knows if the design I am creating will work, how well it will work, and if I can make any money from it if it does. Yet, here I am, walking. I choose to go for it, and there is no safety net.
I don't care if some people think it won't work, if I have no support. I don't care that the government spends millions of dollars on projects from university researchers based on the fact that they have a degree and can write a good proposal. Yet it spends nothing to fund development of products that will make a real difference if the people involved are too independent and creative to imprison themselves in the academic and corporate molds. My idea will be earth-shaking, disruptive, a breakthrough, a real advance in artificial intelligence. It will make possible a huge new variety of wonderful never-before conceived products that make use of visual object recognition. I am as single-minded and focused as a terrier quick-stepping down the street, head pointing straight ahead, eyes forward, looking neither right nor left. I might have uncertainty and temporary doubts flitting through my consciousness, but they are escorted back out straightaway. The main drive is to make it happen. Every day. Persistence. Every week. Determination. Every month. Design, write it down, create Visio diagrams, explain it in Word documents, write the next version of the program to test it out. Keep making headway. Keep upping my understanding of how the brain does it functions, of how I can simulate that with a design that is the foundation of a computer program.I am at the library now. It's air conditioned. The computer is plugged in. I am transferring the notes from the papers I created the past week into diagrams and documents. I am moving forward. I am working on it now, the best time to get anything important done. It will happen.
Patrick, maybe you have had periods of homelessness and unemployement *because* you couldn't bottle up that creativity any longer.
In the meantime you might want to get a bit paranoid. Do you know how easy it would be for some CEO to send a few goons after you to take you and your work? Or the government? Or are you still so naive that you think this sort of thing doesn't happen in the great USA? You might wish to talk to Werner von Braun about that.

No Demand for Linux in the UK?
Zonk posted more than 6 years ago | from the we-like-tea-not-penguins dept.207
eldavojohn writes "If you're a Linux user in the UK looking for a Linux box, you're not going to get it from Acer. The computer maker has started releasing Linux installed machines in Singapore but cited 'no demand' as a reason for not releasing the same computer with Linux installed in the UK. From the ZDNet article: 'Before the launch of the Acer Aspire in Singapore, there had been no suggestion that any major manufacturer other than Dell was even considering releasing Ubuntu-based products. However, Acer president Gianfranco Lanci did tell Financial Times Deutschland that "the whole [PC] industry is disappointed with Windows Vista". Lanci claimed that Microsoft's new operating system had not boosted PC sales, due to concerns over its stability and overall maturity.'"

- How to Read a Study Record
The objective of this phase-III trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of sorafenib in combination with capecitabine versus capecitabine in combination with placebo in the treatment of subjects with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer who are resistant to or have failed prior taxane and an anthracycline or for whom further anthracycline therapy is not indicated. After signing consent there can be up to 28 days before starting the treatment during which time a number of tests will be carried out which will include tumor evaluations and medical history. The following tests and evaluations will have to be done within 7 days of the start of treatment,on Day 1 of every cycle and at the end of study: Electrocardiogram, blood tests, patient quality of life questionnaires and a complete physical exam and vital signs. Treatment will be given in 21 day cycles with sorafenib/placebo to be taken every day for 21 days and capecitabine to be taken for the first 14 days. Patients will come in weekly for the first 6 weeks and then on Day1 for every cycle after the first 2 cycles. During the weekly visits the subjects will be check for any side effects and blood draws will happen for the study on Day 1 of each cycle. Subjects will be followed for overall survival.

Detailed Description:
Research summary (NRES, UK):
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women and the leading cause of cancer-related death among women worldwide.
However, despite advances in treatment of the early-stage disease, about 25-40% of patients will develop recurrence or spread to other parts of the body that is largely incurable. The average survival of patients with breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastasis) is 2 to 3 years after diagnosis, and although a number of treatment options are available, including various chemotherapy agents, no single standard of care exists.
The study drug (Sorafenib) works by inhibiting certain pathways in the body that contribute to tumour growth and the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis). Angiogenesis plays an important role in the development, transformation and spread of breast cancer. Capecitabine is an approved chemotherapy drug for patients whose breast cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) and is not responsive to other classes of chemotherapy drugs.
Data from a Phase IIb clinical study suggests that there is a role for the combination of Sorafenib and Capecitabine to treat locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
Patients in this confirmatory Phase III study will be randomly assigned to receive either:
- Capecitabine + Sorafenib
- Capecitabine + placebo ("dummy medication" with no active drug)
Participants will continue to receive treatments until there is radiographic or clinical progression of disease, side effects which require them to withdraw, pregnancy, protocol non-compliance or withdrawal of consent. Therefore length of participation will vary for individuals. This study is expected to close 31 March 2013.
This is a multicentre study which will take place across Europe, North and South America, Asia, Australia and South Africa. It is anticipated that approximately 519 participants will be recruited worldwide.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (UPI) — Applications for handgun permits in Newtown, Conn., jumped sharply in the months after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, records show.
Residents of Newtown turned in 183 permit applications between January and May, an increase of 110 percent over same period in 2012 and more than the full-year totals for 2012 and 2011, The Hartford Courant reported Tuesday.
It appeared the massacre of 20 schoolchildren and six adults at Sandy Hook by a gunman on Dec. 14 created concerns among the public that new laws were looming that would make it more difficult to own a gun. "Many people expressed their concerns even before the shooting that gun laws were going to change and there would be tighter restrictions on getting a gun permit," said Robert Berkins, records manager for the Newtown police.
The Courant said Connecticut law has local governments issue temporary gun permits. The State then issues a permanent license at a later date.
Statewide, the number of new pistol permits issued by State police increased 78 percent between March and September. The applications began to spike in March, which the Courant said reflected the lag time after applications were submitted to local authorities, and them peaked in July.
The backlog of applications in Newtown caused the police chief to ask City Hall last month for funds to hire a temporary clerk to process the paperwork. "The initial response was overwhelming," Berkins said. "I hope we are now starting to get back to normal."

WOW Intern Spotlight
"I am extremely fortunate to have received funding through World of Work to intern at the American Jewish World Service this summer. The new experience is bound to be filled with opportunities for growth and development. I hope to make the most of this incredible occasion and reach new heights in every aspect of my life. Specifically, on a personal level, my goal is to gain a new level of independence, as I will be living and working in a big city without my standard support system. I hope to become more confident in making my own plans, and traveling by and cooking for myself. On a professional level, my goal is to network, network, network. I hope to meet people in my field of interest and learn from them. I aim to forge strong connections with both successful and budding professionals in the field who might help me later on, when I am thinking about and looking for jobs. Finally, I hope to grow academically during this summer. My internship will involve a lot of communications and organization. I hope to carry these skills through in my academic work. My academic goal for this internship is to gain skills that will also benefit me at school. "

Luidia Lets Amazon Kindle Users View eBeam Interactive Whiteboard Content
SAN CARLOS, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Luidia, Inc., the award-winning developer of eBeam interactive whiteboard technology, today announced that its eBeam software now allows users to send a wide variety of interactive whiteboard-generated content directly to their Amazon Kindle or Kindle DX. Kindle is Amazon's wireless reading device that allows customers to download books, blogs, magazines and newspapers to a crisp, high-resolution electronic paper display that looks and reads like real paper. Luidia is the first interactive whiteboard developer to provide this feature, which lets teachers, students and business users send presentations, lessons and notes to Amazon Kindle devices, the bestselling product across the millions of items sold by Amazon.
Luidia users have long been able to save content from whiteboard sessions - including material generated by or annotated with dry-erase markers - to laptops and other personal computers. Now, Luidia's software makes saving whiteboard content to both a Kindle and Kindle DX as easy as choosing "Send to Kindle" on a pull-down menu. Students can review class lessons, parents can see what children have studied in class, and businesses can review presentations and brainstorming sessions on their Kindle. This new feature is not only convenient, it also is a paperless, environmentally friendly alternative to taking conventional notes.
"As consumer technologies evolve, so too does eBeam," said Luidia CEO Rafi Holtzman. "Educators and corporations could already capture everything that takes place in a classroom or meeting with an eBeam system. Now they can also use a Kindle or Kindle DX to review those lessons and presentations - wherever and whenever they want."
Luidia's "Send to Kindle" feature is included in the latest free eBeam software upgrade, available at http://www.luidia.com/downloads.html. Whiteboard content can be sent from any Windows computer in a choice of formats, including PDF, JPEG and BMP.

Companies face 'lost decade' of innovation
Investment in innovation fell by £24 billion since the start of the recession
By Sophie Curtis | Techworld | Published 19:45, 16 July 12
Business investment in innovation fell by £24 billion since 2008, resulting in a "lost decade" of innovation, according to a new report published on Monday.
Investment in innovation fell by 7 percent (or £7.4 billion) between 2008 and 2009 as the recession began and a further 14 percent (or £17 billion) between 2009 to 2011, the latest Innovation Index published by charity Nesta found.
This is largely because businesses are choosing to invest in 'tangible' assets, such as gold and property, rather than 'intangible' assets such as R&D, design, training and innovative skills, software development, branding and organisational innovation, according to the survey of 1,200 businesses.
Nesta said this was a mistake because innovation in intangible assets is one of the most important drivers of sustainable economic growth. Between 2008 and 2009 innovation delivered 63 percent of the UK's economic growth, the charity said.
"Other countries are making investment in innovation a top priority and the UK cannot afford not to do the same," said Nesta's CEO Geoff Mulgan.
"Our data shows that British business prioritised cash and concrete over investment in future technologies and services, a potentially disastrous decision that now needs to be put right."
Relative to their size, the biggest innovation investors among the UK's sectors are manufacturing, personal services and financial services. The business services sector's largest investment is in skills and organisational innovation.
Over the next few months, Nesta said it would set out the details of what it calls Plan I – a plan for innovation-led growth – as an alternative to the "increasingly sterile debate" between Plan A and Plan B.
Earlier this month, the European Commission announced plans to invest €1.5 billion (£1.2 billion) in information and communication technologies to support the Digital Agenda's ICT research funding targets and create new growth and jobs.
The funding is part of a wider €8.1 billion investment in research and innovation to support projects and ideas that will boost Europe's competitiveness and tackle issues such as health, the environment, urbanisation and waste management.
"Knowledge is the currency of the global economy," said European Research, Innovation and Science Commissioner Máire Geoghegan-Quinn. "If Europe wants to continue to compete in the 21st century, we must support the research and innovation that will generate growth and jobs, now and in the future."

Inspiration from the team behind The Art Genome Project at Art.sy
Intern for The Art Genome Project
How Collecting Was Born
Johann Georg Hainz, Cabinets of Curiosities, ca. 1666, Oil on Canvas (Collection of the Hamburger Kunsthalle)
It all started with a routine gene "clean-up" of the Group of Objects gene. Clean-ups are one of the many ways we maintain the integrity and accuracy of The Art Genome Project. They entail looking at every artist and artwork with a value for a particular gene, and ensuring that the application is correct, i.e. that the artist or artwork presented has a connection to the gene and its definition. Clean-ups often lead to ideas for new genes, since what does not fit correctly in one gene might be better explained through another.
Group of Objects had originally been conceived as a gene for capturing two-dimensional depictions of multiple objects whose arrangement did not conform to compositional strategies of traditional still lifes. Yet it turned out that there were a number of three-dimensional works with this gene applied that were not depictions of groups of objects, but real-life groups of objects themselves, such as this diorama by Gianfranco Baruchello. In fact there were so many instances of this that the human error of our genomers alone could not account for it; instead it indicated that there was a significant need to capture such works via some yet-to-be-identified category.
This was now a whole other problem. Our plan of attack was to first identify the many different ways to describe different configurations of physical objects. We sifted through lots of related genes, such as Commodity (currently being re-worked), Typologies, Assemblage, and Use of Everyday Objects, and ended up proposing three new genes along with working definitions. They were were as follows:
The Art Genome's Roots
From the moment we began working on The Art Genome, we wanted to better establish how it compared with previous structures that have encouraged and guided inquiry into art, artists and art history.
Last fall, we were able to dedicate the necessary time and resources to answering this question.
We cast our scholarly net wide. Our research brought us to the 18th century and back again. We looked at thesauri, encyclopedias, and some of the first art history books ever printed. We were consistently amazed at the variety and volume of attempts that have been made recording, cataloging, classifying, and sharing art throughout history. We developed a new appreciation for engravers who trekked to Greece and Italy to painstakingly document antiquity's artistic treasures, well before the invention of photography. We thought about polyhierarchies a lot; probably too much.
It turns out that The Art Genome is related to a lot of things (and yet is exactly like none of them) all at once…
What is The Art Genome Project?
The Project has two parts.
Part 1 is a list of all of the possible characteristics/terms you might apply to art.
Think about an art object, say a painting by Andy Warhol. You might say it is a painting, that it is a work of Pop Art, that it is a silkscreen, that it features an image of Marilyn Monroe, that it is very "high contrast," or even that it emphasizes the flatness of the image.
These characteristics or terms (e.g. Pop Art, flatness, bright colors) are what we call "genes."
There are currently over 400 genes in what we call "The Art Genome" and they fall into the following categories. (In parentheses are examples of genes in the category.)
- Time Period (Pre-Impressionism, Modern, Contemporary)
- Medium (Painting, Sculpture, Installation, Video)
- Style or Movement (Pop Art, Abstract Expressionism, Young British Artists)
- Contemporary Tendencies (Tendencies occurring in contemporary art but that people might not yet be comfortable calling "movements," such as Contemporary Gothic or DIY)
- Concepts (Color Theory, Institutional Critique, Related to Film)
- Content (Portrait, Landscape, The Studio, Cityscape)
- Techniques (Monochrome Painting, Multiple Exposure, Sfumato)
- Geographical Regions (Where an artist has lived and worked)
- Appearance Genes (The look and feel of an object)
- Labs (Genes in development; not public)
We also have hundreds of other genes. These capture individual art-historical and artist influences, such as the fact that Jackson Pollock was influenced by (among other things) Mexican Muralism or Thomas Hart Benton.
Where did all of these genes come from?
- Hundreds of years of art-historical scholarship that we are the beneficiaries of
- Discussions in books, periodicals and on the web surrounding contemporary art
- Many Art.sy genome team meetings and debates
- Consistent communication with all of our partners, i.e. the galleries, museums, foundations, collections and estates that feature their work on Art.sy.
Part 2 is applying relevant genes to each of the 3,000 artists and 15,000 artworks on Art.sy.
The list of genes applied to artists and artworks we call their "genomes."
Like the process of coming up with genes, the application of genes to artists and artworks is a group effort, involving the genome team at Art.sy, extensive research, and consistent communication with our partners.
A few clarifications about genomes and genes:
- Every artist and artwork has their own genome. Why? To show how different, for example, Warhol's oeuvre (his collected works) is in comparison to individual works and how greatly individual works can differ from each other.
- Genes are not tags — though we have many tags on the site — because tags are binary (something is either tagged "dog" or not). Genes, in contrast, can range from 0-100, thus capturing how strongly a gene applies to a specific artist or artwork. This nuanced connection between works of art is impossible with a simple tagging mechanism.
So this is The Art Genome Project, the source of all the terms and related searches users see on Art.sy. As always, we welcome your questions and comments.
In the coming weeks, look forward to further posts on topics like precedents for The Art Genome Project (such as art-historical taxonomies or thesauri, encyclopedias and dictionaries, image atlases, and Pandora), what appearance genes try to capture, how algorithms relate to The Art Genome Project, and how and why "Most Similar Artworks" was created.

Taxonomy (the science of classification) is often undervalued as a glorified form of filing—with each species in its folder, like a stamp in its prescribed place in an album; but taxonomy is a fundamental and dynamic science, dedicated to exploring the causes of relationships and similarities among organisms. Classifications are theories about the basis of natural order, not dull catalogues compiled only to avoid chaos.
—Stephen Jay Gould, Wonderful Life (1990)
Many believe categories and terminology for art compromises art's nuances and inherent mysteriousness. However, classification is central to understanding the order of things, particularly their relationships and similarities.
Art.sy's Art Genome Project aims to create a classification system that retains the nuances and mysteries within art and allows anyone with an Internet connection the opportunity to learn about art and art history.
From today on, members of the Project will post here the ideas, discussions, arguments, successes and failures we have had in our ongoing attempt to create The Art Genome Project. We hope you enjoy it and we look forward to your comments. Please feel free to comment on any of our posts or to contact me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.

If anyone is feeling frisky, start playing with a SunOS box
and try injecting spurious IP packets onto the wire... since
SunOS doesn't have the nifty DLPI interface that Solaris has,
it is probably susceptible to many, many similar attacks
using the standard IP stack.
Indeed, ipsend tests crash many boxes at this time, and that's just
using standard off-the shelf tests.
The way to stop many of these classes of attacks from over the Internet
is to follow the recommendations in "Eliminating IP Address Forgery"
(available at http://all.net/ under the Info-Sec Super Journal in
"Network Security") - however, these techniques will not stop them all.
For example:
From: victim-1
To: victim-2
From port: 7
To port: 11
When each is a legitimate address will cause such a loop. Since each is
a legitimate address and each is on a different service port, even some
fairly sophistocated router-based defenses fail. Good advice is to turn
off all UDP services that don't have strict format requirements.

I am following the below mentioned procedure to develop web pages with math equations using MathJax.
- Using "math input panel" in Windows 7 to write the required equation.
- Inserting the equations written in "math input tool" into "Mathtype" software.
- Copying and pasting these equations into my webpage in LaTeX format.
- Using the MathJax library to properly format my equations.
But writing the equations using "math input tool" is getting difficult and is consuming lot of time and energy.
Is there a way in which I can easily input math equations into "Mathtype"?
(Like using a stylus (or) Wacom Bamboo or any other method.)
