Classifying Documents According to Locational Relevance.
ABSTRACT This paper presents an approach for categorizing documents according to their implicit locational relevance. We report a thorough
evaluation of several classifiers designed for this task, built by using support vector machines with multiple alternatives
for feature vectors. Experimental results show that using feature vectors that combine document terms and URL n-grams, with
simple features related to the locality of the document (e.g. total count of place references) leads to high accuracy values.
The paper also discusses how the proposed categorization approach can be used to help improve tasks such as document retrieval
or online contextual advertisement.

Conference Paper: Using the geographic scopes of web documents for contextual advertising.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Geotargeting is a specialization of contextual advertising where the objective is to target ads to Website visitors concentrated in well-defined areas. Current approaches involve targeting ads based on the physical location of the visitors, estimated through their IP addresses. However, there are many situations where it would be more interesting to target ads based on the geographic scope of the target pages, i.e., on the general area implied by the locations mentioned in the textual contents of the pages. Our proposal applies techniques from the area of geographic information retrieval to the problem of geotargeting. We address the task through a pipeline of processing stages, which involves (i) determining the geographic scope of target pages, (ii) classifying target pages according to locational relevance, and (iii) retrieving ads relevant to the target page, using both textual contents and geographic scopes. Experimental results attest for the adequacy of the proposed methods in each of the individual processing stages.Proceedings of the 6th Workshop on Geographic Information Retrieval, GIR 2010, Zurich, Switzerland, February 18-19, 2010; 01/2010
Conference Paper: Evidential location estimation for events detected in Twitter[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Event detection from microblogs and social networks, especially from Twitter, is an active and rich research topic. By grouping similar tweets in clusters, people can extract events and follow the happenings in a community. In this work, we focus on estimating the geographical locations of events that are detected in Twitter. An important novelty of our work is the application of evidential reasoning techniques, namely the Demspter-Shafer Theory (DST), for this problem. By utilizing several features of tweets, we aim to produce belief intervals for a set of possible discrete locations. DST helps us deal with uncertainties, assign belief values to subsets of solutions, and combine pieces of evidence obtained from different tweet features. The initial results on several real cases suggest the applicability and usefulness of DST for the problem.Proceedings of the 7th Workshop on Geographic Information Retrieval; 11/2013

ABSTRACT: Given only the URL of a Web page, can we identify its topic? We study this problem in detail by exploring a large number of different feature sets and algorithms on several datasets. We also show that the inherent overlap between topics and the sparsity of the information in URLs makes this a very challenging problem. Web page classification without a page's content is desirable when the content is not available at all, when a classification is needed before obtaining the content, or when classification speed is of utmost importance. For our experiments we used five different corpora comprising a total of about 3 million (URL, classification) pairs. We evaluated several techniques for feature generation and classification algorithms. The individual binary classifiers were then combined via boosting into metabinary classifiers. We achieve typical F-measure values between 80 and 85, and a typical precision of around 86. The precision can be pushed further over 90 while maintaining a typical level of recall between 30 and 40.TWEB. 01/2011; 5:15.

Abstract. This paper presents an approach for categorizing documents
according to their implicit locational relevance. We report a thorough
evaluation of several classifiers designed for this task, built by using
support vector machines with multiple alternatives for feature vectors.
Experimental results show that using feature vectors that combine docu-
ment terms and URL n-grams, with simple features related to the locality
of the document (e.g. total count of place references) leads to high ac-
curacy values. The paper also discusses how the proposed categorization
approach can be used to help improve tasks such as document retrieval
or online contextual advertisement.
Key words: Document Classification, Geographic Text Mining
Automated document classification is a well studied problem, with many ap-
plications in text mining and information retrieval [11]. A recent trend in text
mining applications relates to extracting geographic context information from
documents. It has been noted that the combination of techniques from text
mining and geographic information systems can provide the means to integrate
geographic data and services, such as topographic maps and street directories,
with the implicit geographic information available in Web documents [2,6,9].
In this work, we propose that textual documents can be characterized accord-
ing to their implicit locational relevance. For example, a document on the subject
of computer programing can be considered global, as it is likely to be of interest
to a geographically broad audience. In contrast, a document listing pharmacies
or take-away restaurants in a specific city can be regarded as a local, i.e., likely
to be of interest only to an audience in a relatively narrow region. Somewhere
in between is a document describing touristic attractions in a specific city, likely
to be of interest to both the inhabitants of that city and to potential visitors
from other parts of the world. In the context of this work, locational relevance is,
therefore, a score that reflects the probability of a given document being either

global (i.e., users interested in the document are likely to have broad geographic
interests) or local (i.e., users interested in the document are likely to have a sin-
gle narrow geographic interest). This score can be produced from the confidence
estimates assigned by a binary classifier such as a Support Vector Machine [12].
Previous research has addressed the problem of automatically computing ge-
ographic scopes of Web documents [1,2]. Techniques have also been proposed for
detecting locationaly relevant search engine queries [3,4]. However, to the best
of our knowledge, no description has ever been published on techniques for clas-
sifying documents according to locational relevance (i.e., classifying documents
as either local or global). This is a significantly different problem from that of
assigning documents to geographic scopes, since two documents can have the
same scope but different locational relevances. For instance, the Web page of a
research group in Lisbon and the Web page of a local restaurant in Lisbon have
the same geographic scope, nonetheless, people visiting the restaurant's page are
most probably taking into consideration the location, while people visiting the
researcher's page are most probably interested in their studies, regardless from
where the group is physically located.
To solve this problem, we propose an approach for categorizing documents
according to their implicit locational relevance, using state-of-the-art machine
learning techniques. We report a thorough evaluation of several classifiers, built
using support vector machines, and explore many alternative features for repre-
senting documents. In addition, we also discuss how our classifier can be used
to help improve tasks such as document retrieval or online advertisement.
The rest of the paper is organized as follows: Section 2 presents related work.
Section 3 describes our classification approach, detailing the proposed features.
Section 4 presents and discusses the experimental validation, also describing
applications for locational relevance classifiers. Finally, Section 5 presents our
conclusions and directions for future work.
2Related Work
Traditional Information Retrieval and Machine Learning research has studied
how to classify documents according to predefined categories [10,11]. The sub-
area of Geographic Information Retrieval has addressed issues related to the
exploitation of geographic context information mined from textual documents.
In this section, we survey relevant past research on these topics.
2.1Document Classification
Document classification is the task of assigning documents to topic classes, on the
basis of whether or not they share some features. This is one of the main problems
studied in fields such as text mining, information retrieval, or machine learning,
with many approaches described in the literature [10,11]. Some methods suitable
for learning document classifiers include decision trees [14], logistic regression [15]
Page 3
Classifying Documents AccordiLng to Locational Relevance3
and support vector machines [7,12]. SVMs can be considered a state-of-the-art
method in binary classification, returning a confidence score in the assigned class.
Previous works have also suggested that in text domains, due to the high-
dimensionality of the feature space, effective feature selection can be used to
make the learning task more efficient and accurate. Empirical comparisons of
different feature selection methods have been made in the past [13,16], with
the results suggesting that either Chi-square or information gain statistics can
provide good results. In this work, we use feature selection methods in order to
examine the most discriminative features.
2.2Mining geographical information from text documents
Previous research in the area of geographic information retrieval has addressed
problems such as the recognition and disambiguation of place references present
in text, and the assignment of documents to encompassing geographic scopes.
Leidner presented a variety of approaches for handling place references on
textual documents [9]. The problem is usually seen as an extension of the named
entity recognition (NER) task, as proposed by the natural language processing
community [17,18]. More than recognizing mentions to places in text, which is
the subject of NER, the task also requires for the place references to be dis-
ambiguated into the corresponding locations on the surface of the Earth, i.e.,
assigning geospatial coordinates to the place references [9]. Place reference dis-
ambiguation usually relies on gazetteer matching, together with heuristics such
as default senses (i.e., disambiguation should be made to the most important
referent, based on population counts) or spatial minimality (i.e., disambiguation
should minimize the convex hull that contains all candidate referents) [9,19].
Metacarta1is a commercial company that sells state-of-the-art geographic infor-
mation retrieval technology. The company also provides a freely-available geo-
tagger Web service that can be used to recognize and disambiguate place refer-
ences in text. An early version of the Metacarta geotagger has been described by
Rauch et al. [20]. Yahoo! Placemaker2is another free Web service which provides
recognition and disambiguation of place references in text. The complementar
Yahoo! GeoPlanet3Web service is an example of an online gazetteer, returning
descriptions of places based on their name.
Anast´ acio et al. surveyed different approaches for assigning documents to
geographic scopes [28]. In one of the pioneering works in the area of geographic
information retrieval, Woodruff and Plaunt proposed a technique with basis on
the place references discovered in the text [6]. Their method was based on disam-
biguating the place references into the bounding polygons that correspond to the
geographic area of the referents. The geographic scope of the document is after-
ward computed by overlapping the areas of all the polygons. More recently, Ding
et al. proposed specific techniques for extracting the geographical scope of web
Page 4
4 Ivo Anast´ acio, Bruno Martins, P´ avel Calado
pages [1]. For example, the Di´ ario de Coimbra online newspaper has a geograph-
ical scope that consists of the city of Coimbra, while the Publico newspaper has
a geographical scope that includes the entire territory of Portugal. To compute
the geographical scope of a web document, Ding et al. propose two complemen-
tary strategies: (1) a technique based on the geographical distribution of HTML
links to the page, and (2) a technique based on the distribution of geographical
references in the text of the page. Amitay et al. also proposed a technique for
assigning Web documents to the corresponding geographic scope [2], leveraging
on part-of relations among the recognized place references (i.e. Lisbon and Porto
are both part of Portugal, and documents referring to both these places should
have Portugal as the scope). Looping over the disambiguated references, this
approach aggregates, for each document, the importance of the various levels
in a location hierarchy. The hierarchy levels are then sorted by importance and
results above a given threshold are returned as the geographic scope.
Gravano et al. proposed a technique for classifying search engine queries as
either local or global, using the distributional characteristics of location names
occurring in the results produced by a search engine to the query [3]. There are
many similarities between the work by Gravano et al. and the proposal of this
paper, but here we are instead concerned with classifying documents as global
or local, instead of classifying user queries.
3Classifying documents according to locational relevance
Assigning documents to global and local classes, according to their implicit lo-
cational relevance, is a hard document classification problem. Instead of just
applying a standard classification approach, based on a bag-of-words represen-
tation of the documents, we argue that specific geographic features are also well
suited to reflect the locational characteristics of the documents.
Global documents often do not include any mentions to place names. Con-
sider the home page of the Weka software package4. Users reading this docu-
ment are probably looking for tutorials about machine learning, and they are
not restricted in their interests to a specific geographic scope. Nevertheless, it
is interesting to note that global documents can sometimes include mentions to
place names. Consider a document describing a review of U2's latest concert in
Lisbon. The location name is clearly distinguishable in the document, but the
readers may have completely different geographic interests.
Local documents are, on the other hand, more likely to contain mentions to
place names, particularly place names associated to small regions. Local docu-
ments are also more likely to contain references to places that are restricted to a
somewhat confined area, whereas global documents can contain place references
to distinct places around the world. Examples of local documents include local
business listings or descriptions of local events.

3.1Classification Features
The feature vectors used in the proposed classification scheme combine informa-
tion directly extracted from the full text of the documents, or from the document
URL, with higher level geographic information, mined from the documents us-
ing techniques from the area of geographic information retrieval. We group the
considered features in four classes, namely (1) textual features, (2) URL fea-
tures, (3) simple locative features, and (4) high level locative features. Textual
and URL features are directly extracted from either the text or the URL for the
document, whereas the remaining require geographic text mining.
In the case of the textual features, the idea was to capture the thematic
aspects, encoded in the document's terminology, that can influence the decision
of assigning a document to either a global or local class. For instance documents
about restaurants or pharmacies are more likely to be local than documents
about programming languages or music downloads.
The Yahoo! Term Extraction5Web service, a state-of-the-art industrial tool
for key term extraction, was used to discover important words in the documents.
Its implementation is available via an open Web service, which takes a text
document as input and returns a list of significant words or phrases extracted
from the document.
The full set of textual features is shown below:
– Word stems occurring in the lowercased document text, weighted according
to the term frequency vs. inverse document frequency scheme (TF/IDF).
Stopwords were removed according to the list provided by the Weka package.
– Lowercased words selected by the Yahoo! Term Extraction service as the
most important in the document, weighted through the TF/IDF scheme.
When classifying Web documents, another source of information that can
be used for classification is their Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Previous
research has shown that classifiers built from features based solely on document
URLs can achieve surprisingly good results on tasks such as language identifi-
cation [24] or topic attribution [23]. Intuitively, URLs contain information that
can be used to discriminate between local and global pages, such as top level
domains or words such as local or regional. For instance, a document whose URL
has a top level domain .uk is more likely to be local than a document with a
top level domain such as .com. Taking inspiration on the experiments reported
by Baykan et al. [23], the following features were considered:
– Character n-grams, with n varying between 4 and 8, extracted from the
lower-cased document URLs and weighted according to the TF/IDF scheme.
Simple locative features essentially correspond to counts for locations recog-
nized in the documents, through the use of the geographic text mining services
provided by Yahoo!. The Placemaker text mining service provides functionalities

Paul Dixon was warning his Dundee United colleagues not to underestimate St Mirren's revamped side ahead of their meeting today.
New Buddies boss Danny Lennon has been busily raiding his former club Cowdenbeath in a bid to strengthen his squad over the summer.
And Dixon has warned that just because some of those new arrivals may have come from slightly more humble roots, it isn't going to make the task any more easy.
"It is going to be a tough one against a much-changed team with a new manager," he told the Press and Journal. "They may have a lot of new faces but we will treat them like any other SPL team - with plenty of respect.
"When I came to United it was from the First Division," Dixon continued. "Myself, Danny Swanson, Scott Robertson, Craig Conway and Morgaro Gomis are all proof that you came come up the leagues and do well for your team. We can`t afford to be complacent."

If you believe the free-market ideologues, there's no problem that can't be solved by cutting more regulations, taking out more mortgages and spending more money on products that will break before the year's out. Yes, even the problems that are caused by doing those exact things. On his first solo feature (the NYC-based emcee was previously featured alongside producer Willie Green with Had to Be Me and Diary of a Dreamer) and lead mixtape single, PremRock takes a satirical look at the illogic of our economic system, promoting consumerism in the style of an old-fashioned snake oil salesman. Yuri Beats provides a feverish, ramshackle jazz instrumental adapted from singer/songwriter Tom Waits' classic cut of the same title. Feeling it? More Waits-inspired bangers await on conceptual street release Mark's Wild Years, which is still awaiting a solid drop date.

Halfway to losing 40kg

Fighting fat in New Zealand
I am on the journey of losing weight because if I don't I'll end up with diabetes - a place I don't want to be. So with shear guts, determination and setting goals that are achievable, I've started my journey.
I have a great GP who is encouraging and not judging. I visit monthly, weigh myself and he encourages me. I need to lose 40kg in total and I am half way there.
I have an amazing husband who calls out while I am on my cross trainer: "Way to go girl."
I started at five minutes and could do just a 1km with resistance zero. I thought that was the toughest thing.
Now, four months on I can do 7km in 30 minutes with resistance four. Six days a week I get out of bed have a cuppa, put on the trainers and off I go.
I have a food routine. I never used to have breakfast, but now I have a bowl of porridge with full cream milk. Yes, full cream. That's the dairy for the day. It tastes good and lasts the whole morning. No brown sugar.
When I first started, apples became my best friend and I would eat one when I needed something sweet and felt flat.
Lunch is two slices of wholegrain bread, a protein and salad sandwich, and some fruit with a cup of tea.
Dinner is a protein, low GI carb, mainly kumara, pumpkin, or wholegrain rice with unlimited vegetables. I choose the tasty colourful ones.
Food must look good and taste yum. Just because the meal has to be healthy doesn't mean it tastes yuck.
When I need a yummy snack, I have half a cup of nuts or a cracker with marmite because the crunch is what helps. But sometimes you just want the real sweet treat and that's what it is; a little, occasionally, is OK.
I managed Christmas without putting anything on.
I drink tea and coffee with no sugar. But if I want a slightly nicer drink I have diet lemon lime and bitters. And a wine every now and then.
I set myself short realistic goals in 5kg increments. The loss is a bit slower now, but I will keep going. It will take 12 months to get to my big goal, but at the moment I am focusing on the small losses, excited to think I can do this.
My five sons are encouraging me. My daughter-in-law cheers me on. The grandies love me.
I will achieve, but I also realise that it will never end: I am pre-disposed to easy weight gain. I need to keep this focus forever and that's the hard bit. The diabeties is in remission, but only while I maintain the discipline - that's the hard bit.
I have recognised my enemy, sugar, and it's everywhere. If the packet says low fat, the chance is it's loaded with sugar to make it taste good.
My friend is fresh vegetables and fruit. I eat in-season produce so the price stays low.
For those who struggle out there, go to your GP, be honest and work to set a path that, although hard, will get you there.

Where is the slot on the top of the first box? I have looked and looked and dragged the dagger over the entire box. No luck.

Kate Gosselin Tells Her Story in New Book
In a statement released by Gosselin, the reality star says, "Each day the thought crosses my mind that when they get older, my kids are going to look back and think about how they were raised... I don't want them to grow up and wonder; I want them to know without a shadow of a doubt how much I love them and how much every sacrifice made was worth it for them."
The book, which contains letters to each of Gosselin's children and excerpts from her diary, is the third title penned by the star, following 'Eight Little Faces' and 'Multiple Blessings.'

If you would burn it....you would have to buy it first. I really feel sorry for the children of this marriage. Just think what they are going to be like when they get older. It seems to me that she doesn't spend very much time with them being a "Mom". She spends more time at the hairdresser making herself uglier.

Right on Sharon and Carol....WHO is wanting to see more of this pathetic woman? WHO keeps shoving her down the throats of this country? PLEASE all those low-iq'd inbreds, STOP buying into this, don't spend money in her direction and let her just quietly melt into the putrid sewage where she belongs. Her AND her lowlife exhusband.

I hate this low life Kate, this is the best argument for a government incentivized sterilization program out there, we should ban fertility drugs, we should ban invitro fertilization, we should stop all infertility research and defund all treatment programs, we should make it illegal for medical insurance to pay for any infertility treatment with the penalty for doing so being the death penalty by hanging or impalement. don't buy her book, anyone who has 8 children is a pathetic goofball.

Lets see she doesn't want her kids to grow up and wonder how they were raised-let me give you a hint Kate-BY NANNIES!!You are always too busy with book deals,talk show interviews-20 something hours for hair extensions.Tell them how you pimped them out on tv for the almighty dollar.Can this woman stay off tv?Its like an addiction for her-GO AWAY!!!!!!

Website detailing Dallas police shootings goes live
The Dallas Police Department's new website detailing 12 years of shootings by police went live Tuesday.
Police officials had promised that the mini-website would go up by the end of the month, but the release comes as a grand jury's decision not to indict an officer for a fatal shooting in Ferguson, Mo., has sparked national attention. Local activists have promised protests Tuesday evening outside of Dallas police headquarters.
"The Dallas Police Department is committed to keeping the community informed regarding officer's use of deadly force," a department statement read. "This webpage establishes a foundation from which this data can be shared."
The website, which can be found here, shows 12 years of basic information on the shootings — the who, what, where, when and how. They also list the ethnicity of the officers and suspects, as well as grand jury disposition.
For the 'why' portion, police have also posted a link to the department's deadly force policy.
Much of the information, such as charts and graphs and Chief David Brown's statement, had already been released last week after an activist group filed a federal complaint against Dallas police, alleging a pattern of excessive force against minorities.

[N]o character, however upright, is a match for constantly reiterated attacks, however false. It is well understood by its disciples, that every calumny makes some proselites and even retains some; since justification seldom circulates as rapidly and as widely as slander. The number of those who from doubt proceed to suspicion and thence to belief of imputed guilt is continually augmenting; and the public mind fatigued at length with resistance to the calumnies which eternally assail it, is apt in the end to sit down with the opinion that a person so often accused cannot be be entirely innocent.
–Alexander Hamilton, "Observations on Certain Documents continued in No. V and VI of The History of the United States for the Year 1796" (1797) in: The Works of Alexander Hamilton, vol. 7, p. 377 (H.C. Lodge ed. 1904)

How pupil power makes schools more open about mental health problems
It's not enough to educate teachers about mental health. Journalist Matthew Jenkin explores how putting change in the hands of students helps schools be more inclusive
Three years ago, a student at Simon Langton Girls' grammar school in Kent returned to class after being treated for an eating disorder. The teenager was feeling much better but a passing comment from her teacher threatened to unravel things: "Wow, your face is looking much fuller!" While certainly well-meaning, it was poorly considered, and for the girl in question, humiliating and traumatic.
After hearing about this incident, PSHE teacher Rachel Watmore realised that it was time mental health was taken more seriously in her school.Continue reading...

Could be the pump itself. Ford also has a switch called a interia switch that cuts pump off if hit detects an impact like in an accident. That swith can cause a problem at times.

Last Saturday, I'd been struggling with an entire week above 200 that just didn't seem to want to budge. So I decided that I couldn't risk the Omnipod anymore and I had to pull it from my management routine, at least until things settled down. I started twice-daily Lantus injections on Saturday night and have been working out the kinks of being back on MDIs since then. The first three days of switching to MDIs were rough. Watching the Lantus take effect slowly was like waiting for...

Waste district awarded $5,000 grant
MONTPELIER The Central Vermont Solid Waste Management District received a recycling education grant of $5,000 to help implement an educational advertising campaign dedicated to recycling information.
The grant, from the Curbside Value Partnership, is part of a new program that provides resources to users of CVP Connect, a free online education training tool for recycling coordinators launched last year to help communities be more strategic and effective in the promotion of their residential recycling programs.
Recycling is mandatory in the Central Vermont Solid Waste Management District and will be mandatory in all of Vermont by 2015, said district General Manager Leesa Stewart in a news release. The educational programming this grant will allow us to provide will enable the CVSWMD to increase valuable educational services and enable us to provide information to residents of the region around the importance of recycling and the new state requirement to recycle.
The district is one of 15 communities selected by the Curbside Value Partnership to receive assistance to execute upcoming recycling education plans.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Presidential inaugural poet Richard Blanco will discuss identity and belonging in a...

Super Bowl Sunday
BY Josh Kilmer-Purcell
January 29 2009 12:00 AM ET
Oscar parties.
Fashion Week parties. Halloween parties. White, Black,
Blue, Flaming Technicolor parties. There aren't many
shindigs in the world that aren't planned,
attended, or staffed by gay people. But come Super
Bowl Sunday, most of us (the gay guys, anyway) are
sequestered in our homes, oblivious to the rec-room
raves happening all around us. Why? Not because
we're not invited (we're invited to
everything). Because we can't bear to be the
dumbest person in the room on any subject. And when
the subject is football, we're often three bases
short of a slam dunk. So here are a few Super Bowl
talking points to get you up off your couch and into a
room full of sweaty, huggy, heterosexual men. (Just go easy
on the face paint. Even though you're an
autumn, it's customary to wear your
team's colors.)
There have been
only two streakers in Super Bowl history, both occurring
at Super Bowl XXXVIII. One was a serial streaker from the
United Kingdom named Mark Roberts, and the other was
some chick dancing next to Justin Timberlake.

MIAMI -- Joey Porter waved off reporters this time, executing an about-face after a 30-minute, soul-bearing post-game interview session after Miami's win over the Patriots in Foxboro. This time the linebacker declined any comment following his team's 48-28 loss, Sunday at Dolphin Stadium.
Channing Crowder, another headliner in what became a heated showdown between AFC East rivals, was nowhere to be found, having vacated his cubicle before the press could enter the Miami locker room.
Jason Ferguson, on the other hand, sat in front of his locker following his team's defeat to the Patriots, staring blankly and shaking his head.
"Embarrassing," the Dolphins defensive lineman kept repeating.
The loss was only part of the problem in the eyes of the veteran. The Dolphins had succumbed to a flurry of emotion in the fourth quarter, leading to two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties by Porter and a fight between Crowder and Patriots left tackle Matt Light, which got both players ejected.
Ferguson was frustrated with his own team, the result, and even the referees who he believed botched at least one of the Porter penalties, mistakenly believing the linebacker was talking to a ref instead of an opponent.
"There's a lot of talking, a lot of jibber-jabbing in between," he said. "I'm probably going to get fined, but I just think they should have organized the game better. They should have managed the game better. When you have teams over-boiling they should have taken the game over.
"(The Patriots) have reason to be cocky. They're trying to tell themselves it was a fluke that we beat them."
But while it was clearly the Dolphins who took the fall-out from the fracas the hardest, the Patriots might have paid a pretty steep price, as well.
Immediately after Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski booted a 30-yard field goal with 7:08 to play, making it 41-28, Light and Crowder hooked up in their own individual battle. The Pats' lineman was seen grabbing the dreadlocks of the helmet-less linebacker, proceeding to pound on Crowder's head before the two were separated.
A few interesting images accompanied the pair's ejection, the first one being Patriots' defensive lineman Vince Wilfork throwing his hands in the air during the melee, showing he was not involved. Wilfork had come under scrutiny by league officials in regards to his perceived dirty play.
Moments later, Light and Crowder both ventured toward the locker rooms, seemingly slated to enter the exit tunnel at the same time to potentially set up another confrontation. An animated Crowder seemed to be pointing and yelling at Light as the duo drew closer.
But when Light paused to put on his helmet, preparing for any flying debris from the raucous crowd, it avoided another showdown.
Because of the Light ejection, however, it somewhat tempered the Patriots' optimism heading into next Sunday's game at Gillette Stadium against the Steelers. There is a strong possibility that the lineman could be suspended for the game against the team with the most sacks in the NFL this season.
And not only does Pittsburgh top all teams in sacks, but it also has dropped the quarterback for a loss when coming from the right side (where Light usually protects) more than any other organization.
"We hate to see that, that's not anything we want to be a part of," said Patriots head coach Bill Belichick of the personal fouls. "We want to make a statement on the field with the way we're playing, and we'll do our talking on Sundays. We don't need to get any fouls or penalties, or get into a verbal battle back and forth after the game. We'll say what we have to say on the field."
Not easing the Dolphins anxiety was the Patriots scoring the game's final touchdown with 37 seconds left, on a BenJarvus Green-Ellis one-yard, fourth down TD run.
"I'm not going to comment on that," said Miami head coach Tony Sparano. "I mean, at the end of the day, we'll see what happens. They won one; we won one … looks like we have a little rivalry."

F.N.B. seals deal to buy Annapolis Bancorp
Send this to a friend

- Staff Reporter- Baltimore Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
F.N.B. Corp. on Saturday completed its acquisition of Annapolis Bancorp, the parent company of BankAnnapolis.
The deal makes BankAnnapolis and its eight branches in Anne Arundel and Queen Anne's counties part of F.N.B. (NYSE: FNB), a Hermitage, Pa.-based company that also owns banks in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. F.N.B. has about $12 billion in assets. BankAnnapolis has about $446 million in assets, making it the 11th largest bank in the Baltimore area.
Annapolis Bancorp shareholders overwhelmingly approved the merger Thursday. More than 99 percent of shares voted on the measure — or almost 3.3 million shares — approved it, according to Annapolis Bancorp's filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The $51 million deal was first announced back in October.
F.N.B. hired J. MacGregor "Mac" Tisdale, a veteran Baltimore-area banker, as market executive and president of its new Maryland region. Tisdale joined from SunTrust (NYSE: STI), where he was Baltimore region president. Annapolis Bancorp CEO Richard M. Lerner will stay on as chairman of F.N.B's Maryland region to assist with the transition, F.N.B. said in a press release Monday.

Kings put Blake on IR with ankle injury, call up Cloutier
LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Kings placed defenseman Rob Blake on injured reserve with an ankle injury Thursday, and recalled goaltender Dan Cloutier from the Manchester Monarchs of the AHL.
Blake, 38, is expected to be sidelined for about two weeks. Tests last Friday revealed he had a non-displaced fracture of the left ankle, and he returned to Los Angeles from the Kings' eight-game road trip for treatment. The team said he was injured blocking a shot in a game Jan. 15. He played the next six games before the injury was diagnosed.
Blake, the team captain, has five goals and 21 assists in 53 games. He has appeared in more games (787), scored more goals (157), has more assists (332) and collected more points (489) than any other defenseman in franchise history.
He has 219 goals and 478 assists in 1,109 career games with the Kings and Colorado.
Cloutier, 31, was 4-9 with a 3.50 goals-against average in 14 games with the Monarchs this season. He has a 137-138-36 record and a 2.75 goals-against average in 342 NHL games with the Kings, Vancouver, Tampa Bay and the New York Rangers.

All The Hues That Fit To Print
When it comes to massaging the news, what are the standards of disclosure?
The NYT is all over that question (Under Bush, a New Age of Prepackaged TV News – link) in their Sunday analysis of the media's ready use of pre-packaged Bush Administration video news reports (VNR's).
In the Week in Review section the same day, the Times also ran an article (The Revolution Will Be Colorized — link) about the recent tendency of political movements to identify themselves by a specific color. As you might expect, the story relied heavily on color pictures to depict various examples, including campaigns in Ukraine, the Philippines and Lebanon. If a person can hardly be one hundred percent positive about anything these days, I'm almost certain these photos were artificially color saturated to punch up the story.
I freely admit that the representation of propaganda as news is an order of magnitude more serious than the adjustment of reality through a higher intensity of hue. As someone who carefully parses out the political and psychological dynamics of political images however, I can't help but believe there's some parallel.
Of course, the color in a news photo will always be an approximation in the same way color in real life is also variable, given natural fluctuations like changes in light, or more unique variables, such as individual color processing in the eye. At the same time, if the Times is going out of its way to artificially amp up the color in a political article that specifically represents the naturalistic use of color, I think they at least owe a disclosure.
(Note: Other than a slight reduction in size, the image above is reproduced exactly as it appears on the Times website. If you follow the link to the article, the Multimedia box in the right column offers a slide show of all the images from the print version.)
