The anthropomorphic explosive device
Agency and a curious n-gram pitting "bomb exploded" vs "bomb was exploded"
Bomb 20, citing existential philosophy, declines to abort detonation in John Carpenter's Dark Star (1974). Cf the Ugnaughts' talking bombs in Star Wars. More pics.
Unusual phrasing (to my ears anyway) in the New York Times report on the latest anarchist (or secret police) outrage in tomorrow's Barcelona Almanac entry:
Four bombs were exploded in different parts of the city this morning. No serious damage was done, but the excitement is intense. The authors of the outrage are unknown.
The n-gram is interesting:
My hunch is that the two great leaps of "bomb exploded" coinciding with the World Wars reflect the success of assailants in those conflicts in reducing their proximity to, and interactions with, their devices at the decisive moment, making attribution of agency rather more complicated: Europe's anarchist bomb-throwers and Italians who gaily chucked explosives from planes onto Ottoman tents were overtaken by victim-operated landmines and those "shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells", orchestrated by bureaucrats.
Given the time and the inclination, I'd probably try to attribute the general decline in "bomb was exploded" vis-à-vis "bomb exploded" starting in the 1960s to a politico-philosophical agenda which, perhaps learning from successful WWII genocidal euphemisms like "area bombing" and "precision bombing", needed the bomb-actor in order to be able to file, for example, IRA car bombs and London suicide attacks under Shit That Happens (But Whose Fault Is It Really?) rather than under Shit Done By Someone To Someone Else. (Compare the use of the passive voice to conceal agency in phrasing such as "An X was shot dead in Z this morning" vs "A suspected Y shot dead an X in Z this morning".)
The NYT is by far my favourite MSM source, but I guess I'd quite like to see relatively more of the 1899 formulation.
- Italo-Turkish War (1) The Italo-Turkish or Turco-Italian War was fought between the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Italy from September 29, 1911, to October 18, 1912. As a result of this conflict, Italy captured the Ottoman Tripolitania Vilayet, of which the most notable sub-provinces being Fezzan, Cyrenaica, and Tripoli itself. These territories together formed what became known as Italian Libya.
- Language model (1) A statistical language model assigns a probability to a sequence of m words by means of a probability distribution. Having a way to estimate the relative likelihood of different phrases is useful in many natural language processing applications. Language modeling is used in speech recognition, machine translation, part-of-speech tagging, parsing, handwriting recognition, information retrieval and other applications.
- Linguistics (4)
- N-gram (1) In the fields of computational linguistics and probability, an n-gram is a contiguous sequence of n items from a given sequence of text or speech. The items can be phonemes, syllables, letters, words or base pairs according to the application. The n-grams typically are collected from a text or speech corpus.

I really have my doubts about this whole attribution of agency thing, anyway. Seeing as the rate of occurrence of bad stuff seems unaffected by the rate of removal of bad stuff's agents from polite society, one could be forgiven for thinking that these latter are actually sacrificing themselves to the greater good of maintaining the moral order - and should be duly compensated for this selflessness.

We enjoyed our stay in Little Falls AmericInn. The rooms were clean, smelled good and bed was very comfortable. The pool was clean, breakfast was great for this type of venue. Staff friendly and helpful. Will come back again in future.
We were only here for one night, but our 2 rooms were very clean and comfortable. Staff made the check-in process go smoothly. The breakfast was a typical hotel breakfast..basic, but fresh. WE would stay here again if in the area.
Excellent room, very quiet and very clean. Quick easy on/off interstate.
A little pricey but we did get a King Jacuzzi room which was VERY nice. We had our own little romantic area. The water was nice and hot and never ran out!
The hotel was clean and basic, but the staff really made my stay enjoyable. I stayed there for four nights and they were always going above and beyond the call of duty. The hotel was fully booked when I stayed there so my hopes at getting an early check in (I arrived at 9am)...
The hotel was clean and basic, but the staff really made my stay enjoyable. I stayed there for four nights and they were always going above and beyond the call of duty. The hotel was fully booked when I stayed there so my hopes at getting an early check in (I arrived at 9am) were pretty slim. However, thirty minutes later I was checked in and given a room. Breakfast is from 6am - 9am, but on the day of my departure they cooked early so I wouldn't go without breakfast due to my very early flight.
The hotel is nothing fancy but in a great location and the customer service was amazing.
The ENTIRE staff at this hotel has gone above and beyond for service..they have kept food for me that I was delivering to my mother cold..helped with computer issues, always asking if I need anything..they are so friendly...

Hipster panties made from a small silky scarf I got in Japan a lifetime ago, and stretch lace. Hipster style may not be the best bet for my figure, but these are pretty panties all the same.
Unfortunately the fabric is fraying and is slowly beginning to resemble shredded wheat. Aw.
The pattern is from Ohhh Lulu
I'm planning on making an Ohhh Lulu soft bra from the same fabric, but maybe I need to buy Fray check first.

I am a woman who will be traveling solo to Paris in September. I am looking to rent an apartment for a couple of weeks. My question is what is a good central area to set up camp. I am interested in bistros, music, restaurants, having cafe au lait in the morning sun.
I have been to Paris a few times and have done Montmartre, Notre Dame, The Louvre and I have walked the Left Bank. This trip, I would like to experience Paris as a local would.
I do not want to spend hours commuting from place to place and I do not want to rent a car. The train system works fine by me. I appreciate any input as to where to base myself.
Thanks all for your help!

I'd pick the 1st, 4th, 5th, or 6th myself. Maybe the 7th.

I just went back to the Marais - walking distance to the river if you're on the south side, and plenty of metro access, and lots of places to eat/drink.

I just spent a week by myself in the 7th, and really felt like a "local". Rented the Eiffel Tower apartment from ParisBestLodge, Thierry Faradji....both he and the apartment were wonderful! Fabulous boulangerie/patisserie, butcher, Picard's, deli, restaurants, produce stands, supermarket, all within a block or two, and only 5 or 6 blocks from the Rue Cler market. Couple of blocks to Champs de Mars Park, with a wonderful view of the Eiffel Tower. Short walk to the Metro, and from there easy to get anywhere in Paris.

I used to live in Paris. While the lower numbered arrondissements, I have a couple of other suggestions. Check out certain neighbourhoods in the 16th, including around Trocadero - because it's close to the Seine and to the centre of the city; Auteuil (my old neighbourhood) in the southern end of the 16th and Passy (near La Muette metro stop). These three sub neighbourhoods are upscale neighbourhoods that will expose you to locals (especially Passy and Auteuil, which have relatively few tourists), and they have pretty good subway and bus service. (For example, near our old apartment on Blvd Murat, we were within a few blocks of the 9, which took us across the Right Bank to wherever we wanted to go, as well as the 10, which took us over into the Left Bank - in each case in about 15-20 minutes.) There are sights to see in the 16th, good markets and good shopping.
Another neighbourhood to check out is the edge of the 9th bordering on the 2nd - look for places relatively close to the Grands Magasins. I think it gets a little seedier closer to the 10th.
I like the 17th as well but not all of it is well served by metro lines.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) published the results of the 2014 EU-wide stress test. As a fundamental step in the on-going repair process of the EU banking sector, the EU-wide stress test allows assessing the resilience of banks to adverse economic developments, as well as understanding any remaining vulnerabilities. By disclosing up to 12,000 data points per bank, the EBA is providing unprecedented transparency into EU banks' balance sheets, an essential condition to maintain strong market discipline and increase investors' confidence in the EU banking sector.
The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today a public consultation on draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) further specifying the criteria to set the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) laid down in the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD). The aim of these standards is to achieve an appropriate degree of convergence in how these criteria are interpreted and applied across the EU to ensure a level playing field. Institutions with similar risk profiles, resolvability and other characteristics in any Member State should have similar levels of MREL. The consultation runs until 27 February 2015.
28/11/2014 - Press releases
The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today an Opinion addressed to the European Commission, relating to the perimeter of credit institutions and namely to the different approaches across EU Member States on the interpretation of the definition of 'credit institution' in the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR). The Opinion is based on a report, also published today, in which the EBA summarises the findings of a comprehensive study, which focuses on the interpretation of the term 'credit institution' and the prudential treatment of those entities established in the Union which carry on credit intermediation but are not 'credit institutions'.
27/11/2014 - Press releases
The European Banking Authority (EBA) will hold a public hearing in London on Friday 5 December 2014 from 09.00 am to 11.00 am GMT on the draft Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) report to be submitted to the EU Commission.
26/11/2014 - News
The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc (RBS) has resubmitted its 2014 EU-wide stress test results following a recalculation of its Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratios. The amended templates are now available on the EBA website.

New London - In a move he said was made to avoid any appearance of voter intimidation, Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio said he requested a police vehicle be moved away from its very visible location outside the high school polling place on election night.
The move was criticized by the police union this week, another example of the friction between the mayor and union leadership.
"The constant bashing of police officers by this mayor is incessant," according to a post-election update posted by the union's political director Chuck Flynn on the union's website.
"His latest episode was accusing officers on election night of voter intimidation against minorities who could potentially fear a visible police presence in the high school parking despite the fact the police department hired an officer overtime assignment for polling station visibility," the posting reads.
Finizio said he's aware of political tactics used in the past in which police officers were used to intimidate minority voters. He cited past cases in New Jersey where the strategy was used by Republicans.
Finizio said he was not accusing police of any impropriety, only that "visibility is a factor we consider to ensure we don't have an appearance of intimidation ... something that could detract from voter turnout."
Police typically have some presence around Election Day polling places to ensure public safety and manage traffic, he said. Prior to Election Day, however, Finizio said he spoke with Chief Margaret Ackley about keeping police presence discreet where possible.
"I want to make sure everyone going to the polls feels comfortable," Finizio said.
At the high school, prior to the end of voting, Finizio said he received word that a patrol vehicle was parked near the entrance of the school, which also happens to be situated in a voting district with a high minority population. He said he called the chief and asked that the vehicle be moved.
"There was no problem, but I felt this was potentially in violation of what I discussed earlier with the chief," he said. "I had concerns and the problem was addressed."
Local Union President Officer Todd Lynch said Finizio's actions serve to hinder, and not heal, race relations.
"The mayor is throwing a racist accusation at the police department. How is a police car intimidating minorities?" Lynch said. "He's using race when there was no problem at all."
Lynch said he thought it was problematic to have a mayor, who was campaigning for his party, directing police action on the night of the elections.
"Our superiors should direct police what the police should do, not the mayor who is involved in the election," Lynch said. "We have a chief. We have a deputy chief and command staff. The mayor should not be directing police operations."

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) Michael Blagg - who was convicted in 2004 of first degree murder in the death of his wife Jennifer - continues his fight for a new trial.
Attorneys for both sides say they're still doing research and could not set future court dates. They say they'll be calling witnesses as Blagg's efforts to get a new trial move forward, but they aren't sure just how many.
Today's hearing was set over to the end of next month.
Blagg did not appear in court this morning... He is serving his sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole at the centennial correctional facility.
Blagg's daughter Abbey went missing along with her mother back in 2001 and has never been found.
Abby would now be 18 years old.

Some of the most technologically advanced organizations in the world today are utilizing strategies based on the concept of the Network Centric Organization. These strategies, methodologies and concepts are important for just about any organization that is geographically dispersed and requires the organization and management of remote and mobile workforces and assets.
The concept of the "network centric" organization relates to the fact that people, objects, events, activities, assets, inventories, locations, fleets, equipment, tools, etc, are all connected to the Internet (aka network), monitored, and most often visible on a map. All of these connected components are providing data in real-time that can be used to manage operations. This collected data is wirelessly sent to a central server where it forms a real time and unified view of operations that can be used for analysis, forecasting, resource allocation, planning and real time decision-making.
This networked approach enables users to see where their assets are located, where they are needed and how best to manage them at all times to successfully and efficiently accomplish the mission. Network centric operations in commercial environments, is a relatively new concept that continues to evolve as mobile technologies improve and more assets are connected to and become visible to the network.
From a business strategy perspective, you want to gain an information advantage over your competition. You want to set-up a robust network of well informed geographically dispersed people and assets that have situational awareness and visibility. This networking, combined with changes in business intelligence, artificial intelligence, organizational structures, processes and people, enable organizations to behave and respond in ways never before possible.
Specifically, the strategy of Network Centric Operations contains the following four tenets in its hypotheses:
- A robustly networked workforce improves information sharing.
- Information sharing enhances both the quality of information and the shared situational awareness.
- Shared situational awareness enables collaboration and self-synchronization, and enhances sustainability and speed of management decision-making.
- These, in turn, dramatically increase productivity.
In order to optimize operations, in the context of field services, asset management, engineering and construction operations, it is critical to know, in real time, the location of all resources, the status of each job, the assets, parts and equipment needed, and the time each job will require. When effectively coordinated and managed, human resources, equipment, assets and mobile inventories can be shared between multiple projects, and the right experts with the right levels of experience can be used on the right projects at the right time.
The bottom line is that a leaner, more efficient organization can be put in the field that can accomplish more work with fewer resources and generate a higher return on investment.

Falcons avenge loss to Maranatha Christian
Boys basketball:
- Earlier this season, Torrey Pines had its six-game winning streak that started its season snapped by scrappy Maranatha Christian of San Diego at the nonleague Hosea Hall tournament.
The Falcons looked to exact a measure of revenge when the two teams met again for a nonleague game on Jan. 15, and they took full advantage, prevailing for a 57-53 victory.
The win avenged a 58-42 loss on Dec. 21 for what to date was the Falcons only loss of the season and extended their winning streak to seven games. Playing for the first time in more than two weeks, they improved their overall record for the season to 13-1.
Nick Kerr scored 19 points to lead the Falcons and Max Heller added 15 points. Matt Spelich contributed 11 points and five rebounds, and Ray Xu had five assists and six rebounds.
- Santa Fe Christian defeated Tri-City Christian of Vista 74-34 in a Coastal League North opener for both teams on Jan. 15, with Karl Holmlund scoring 16 points to lead the Eagles and Kyle Hubbard adding 13 points.
A day later the Eagles lost to Rancho Bernardo 51-42 in a nonleague Martin Luther King tournament game at Horizon High of San Diego. Cade Gotta scored 13 points to lead the Eagles and Holmlund added 12 points.

Most said he wouldn't play this season, but Terrell Suggs is out prove to them wrong. The Baltimore Ravens activated him today, so he's now officially on the roster, and could possibly play Sunday against the Houston Texans. The team however, is mum about his availability. Suggs, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, has missed the first six games of the season after injuring his Achilles tendon in the offseason. To make room for Suggs, the team has parted ways with LB Sergio Kindle. Kindle was selected 43rd overall by Ravens in the 2010 NFL draft. Things didn't quite go as planned with Sergio. He fell down a flight of stairs shortly after he was drafted, fracturing his skull in the process. He missed the entire 2010 season. Next season, he only played 2 games. This year, one.var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});
