The movie, which tells the story of an Irish woman's search for the son she was forced to give up for adoption in 1950s, has been shorlisted for the best picture prize, while Dame Judi Dench has been nominated for best actress.
Dench said: "This is just the loveliest news. I'm so happy for everybody involved, and so proud to have been part of the wonderful experience that Philomena has been."
Her co-star Steve Coogan is also recognised for the best adapted screenplay award and the film has been nominated in the best music category.
Leading the 2014 Oscar nominations is space drama Gravity and American Hustle who have each received ten nods.

Meanwhile Irish rockers U2 have been nominated for the best original song category.
Ordinary Love featured in the film Nelson Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom and it's video was directed by Belfast artist Oliver Jeffers.

Critically acclaimed film 12 Years A Slave has lived up to expectations and received nine nominations, including best picture and best director.

"Steve McQueen created an entire family to tell one man's tale and I am delighted that so many of this family have also been recognised today. I am hugely grateful to the Academy for this great honour, and, of course, to Solomon Northup for sharing his story through his breathtaking book."
Martin Scorsese's The Wolf Of Wall Street picked up nominations for best picture and best director with two of its stars, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill, recognised in the best actor and best supporting actor categories.
Another of the cast, Matthew McConaughey, is recognised for his work in Aids drama Dallas Buyers Club with a nomination for best actor while his co-star Jared Leto is nominated for best supporting actor.

FOREST PARK — Four Clayton County firefighters were treated at Atlanta Medical Center for injuries sustained in a vehicle accident Tuesday night, said officials.
Deputy Chief Jacque Feilke said the four were taken to Atlanta Medical Center for injuries ranging from minor to serious. The firefighters were on Engine 9 when it collided with a tractor-trailer truck at Old Dixie Road and Central Avenue in Forest Park about 6:30 p.m., said Capt. Walter Barber.
Barber said one was transported by helicopter and three were taken by ambulance.
Feilke said about 10 p.m. Tuesday that one firefighter had been released and two more were in the process of being released. The fourth was kept overnight for observation but didn't suffer broken bones, she said.
Barber said the accident is under investigation. The names of the injured were not immediately released.
Fire Chief Jeff Hood and Assistant Chief Landry Merkison were attending a Clayton County Board of Commission meeting when they got the call about the crash and immediately left.
The accident is being investigated by the Georgia State Patrol.
Senior reporter Curt Yeomans contributed to this report.

Actuate Corporation (NASDAQ: BIRT) – The BIRT Company – delivering more insights to more people than all BI companies combined, and YASH Technologies – a leading technology services and outsourcing partner for medium and large global customers, today announced immediate availability of the SAP BW Connector for BIRT. The native plug-in was built using the Eclipse-based ODA framework, and is the latest in a series of BIRT-based connectors for popular data sources. The SAP BW Connector for BIRT features an intuitive GUI similar to the BIRT and ActuateOne® interfaces, and enables users to easily configure queries to SAP Business Warehouse (BW). The data retrieved can then be combined inside ActuateOne products with data of any magnitude or complexity, including Big Data from sources such as machine logs and social media.
"As a premier partner of Actuate and multi-level partner of SAP, YASH is well poised to take advantage of technologies from the two companies to create this connector. With years of experience in developing products and supporting large enterprises worldwide, we felt there was a strong need for a connector which would enable access to SAP BW data using the Eclipse-based ODA," said Gautam Gupta, BI Practice Director for YASH. "This connector enables SAP BW customers to extend their data outside of the SAP environment to use BIRT and ActuateOne for analytical and reporting purposes, thus significantly increasing their return on investment."
"The SAP BW Connector for BIRT is designed for any BIRT developer or IT organization looking for an easy and intuitive way to integrate SAP BW data with BIRT or ActuateOne," said David Rosenbacher, Vice President of Worldwide Sales Engineering for Actuate. "Once the connector has been configured, it is quick and easy for developers to begin accessing SAP BW data by performing native queries. Prior to availability of this connector, accessing the proprietary SAP multidimensional data was known to be challenging."
Additional features of the connector include platform independence; OLAP access to SAP data via web services; ability to create, access and customize MultiDimensional eXpression (MDX) queries; ability to slice, filter and sort MDX cross-joins; BEx Query Designer parameter handling; and localization support.
Actuate's Collaboration with YASH Technologies
YASH is an Actuate Silver Integrator partner and the relationship between the two companies goes back many years. Through jointly developing and marketing this connector, Actuate and YASH are extending their alliance.
As an active member of the BIRT Exchange developer community, YASH has helped clients to adopt and use both open Source BIRT as well as ActuateOne, the BIRT-based suite of commercial products for development and deployment of business analytics applications. Their experience includes working with BIRT as an embedded reporting solution, which includes report development, deployment and application integration. YASH's BI Center of Excellence (COE) provides clients a head start in applying industry best practices and reporting frameworks, and includes access to a set of reusable components and libraries.
Live Web Seminar and Further Information
To register for the joint live web seminar on March 21, 2013: http://www.actuate.com/info/wsem-q113-nao-yash. Attendees will learn about the extensible features of ActuateOne and BIRT, and be shown how to develop reports against SAP cubes.
For more information about the SAP BW Connector for BIRT, please visit: http://www.yash.com/enterprise-it-products/yash-oda-connector.php or http://www.actuate.com/yash-oda-connector.

Almost everyone sees the potential of Internet of Things but how can businesses truly unlock that potential. The key will be in the ability to discover business insight in the midst of an ocean of Big Data generated from billions of embedded devices via Systems of Discover. Businesses will also need to ensure that they can sustain that insight by leveraging the cloud for global reach, scale and elasticity.

IoT is still a vague buzzword for many people.

Art of Style | An evening with Paul Mitchell + product review!
Last week I was invited to attend an event by Paul Mitchell in Glasgow. So on Wednesday I toddled off on a train through to Glasgow to see what it was all about.
For me, the main part of the evening was getting to have a play with the range from New CID Cosmetics and meet some lovely Scottish bloggers :) There was also some lovely ladies styling everyones hair with ideas for the festive period.
Hopefully I'll be able to review some of the CID products for you all in the next few weeks but for now it's an item I received in my goody bag.

Some kind words from our 875+ Portland tennis players (64,875 + nationwide)
Member Since 05/17/13
I love how the site marks players names with their availability during the weekday 9-5 time. I was quickly connected w/ information for 6-8 people that could play during the day.

I love the flexibility and casual nature of this league. If you want to play fun matches on your own schedule and meet lots of new tennis partners, This is a wonderful way to go. It's a bargain.

23 minutes. That's how long I've been staring at this dumb blank screen. I'm supposed to write down my thoughts and feelings like some pro-wrestling Margret Atwood? What's that about? You want to see how I'm feeling, you take a look at what I do in the ring. You want to read about my feelings, about what's on Big Magic's mind? Ok, fine! Let's make it easy and start with the loudest one.
ANGER. There's a lot of anger on my mind, and it's ALL IN CAPS! People might find that surprising on account of my usual understated way of expressing myself. But no one has ANY idea of what me and the Jagman have had to go through since Virginia. CHIKARA might have lost one of the boys from the locker room. Me and Scott lost our brother. 3peckO is no more!
Traveling from city to city, we got to know an Archibald Peck that nobody else got to see. He talked about all of the things that mattered to him outside of that ring. His family. Famous marching bands. Time Travel. Missionary work. Cowboys. Favorite composers. Trees. You name it, Peck talked about it. A LOT. Thank goodness that DeLorean cut down how long we spent on the road.
Now all that's gone. We can't just hop in the car and go back to a point before Archie sacrificed everything to save Gavin Loudspeaker. Nobody but Peck can drive that thing. And we can't go on another trek to find another Archibald Peck. He's gone! Gone at the bloody hands of Deucalion.
Well, get this. As long as I'm breathing, Deucalion won't hoist another one of my brothers on his shoulder! We'll tear the whole ring apart and bring the entire arena down on The Flood's heads if that's what needs to be done. We've played the defense long enough! Icarus showed Deucalion what kind of offense CHIKARA can bring. Imagine what happens when we all hit back, all together, all at the same time!
Peck: me and Jagged can only hope this goodbye isn't forever. Not putting it past you to have some hare-brained scheme to save yourself if something like this ever happened. Right? You'd be happy to know UltraMantis delivered a good eulogy for you to the folks in Parts Unknown. He might be devious in the squared circle, but he makes for a decent mayor.
To the rest of The Flood, I hope you're all reading this because CHIKARA is about to finally eliminate all of you vermin running around! YOUR TIME IS UP!

No wonder the locals like this place: It has 20 beers on tap, good food and bartenders who take the time to get to know their customers. The upper level of the former spice warehouse has enough room to comfortably pack in a large crew. Windows along the back wall offer a fishbowl view into the downstairs performance venue, appropriately named the Underwater Lounge. The management favors Irish musical acts, but DJs and comedians also take the stage.

There is a match method in Rails dedicated to set routes. It has a few options:
:via, etc. One of them is
:as option.
The name used to generate routing helpers.
For example, I have such a route setting:
match("user/hello' => "users#show",
via: 'get',
:as => :user_hello,
:as option lets me do this in my
html.erb template:
<%= link_to("User Hello", user_hello_path()) %>
and I get this in my rendered page:
User Hello
But I'd like to change the default behavior of this helper. I want to add some prefix to the generated url, to have it like this one:
User Hello
The question is, how to get that
:as variable in my helper module file:
# File: C:\MyApp\app\helpers\users_helper.rb
module UsersHelper
# I explicitly redefine the default helper
# but can't get :as option here
def user_hello_path
"myprefix/" + :as.to_s # <-- how to get the ":as" option here
Also how to get all those
match method options in controllers?

This is a nice change from some of his earlier work. One of the best Telecaster players alive today. I think he was just trying to make a great record here and he succeeded. For those who don't agree, perhaps you need to just listen a couple of times and not compare it to his other records. He took some flak for tackling some of the issues he writes about on this disc, particularly Accidental Racist...but considering how many country artists don't even write their own material I have to give him credit... his writing is better than 99% of the guys/gals out there, even on this record. As an artist myself, I've always felt that the worst thing one can do is "play it safe" and have regrets later (and not just in your art, but in life in-general). He took some chances and not everyone thinks it's cool? I'm sure he sleeps very well at night despite some crappy reviews. Thank you Mr. Paisley! Nice job as always.
I usually love Paisley's CDs especially the earlier work, but this was a disappointment. Too slick and gimmicky.
Not sure what Brad was trying to do with this cd but for me it didn't work and was a waste of his talent.

Bruce Anstey laid down his marker tonight for tomorrow's six-lap Dainese Superbike TT with a 131.431mph on the Padgetts Honda – the first 131mph lap of the 2011 TT and it could have been even faster had it not been for the sidecars starting their first lap of practice.

There's something very different about Bruce Anstey this year. He smiles a lot. He's chatty (well, more so than ever before). He's training. He's out and about at official engagements.

"Can you recall a time when there was so much trouble in so many places around the world?" "Face the Nation" anchor Bob Schieffer asked of Albright.
"What is happening in the Middle East a lot due to the Arab Awakening and also the artificiality of the borders that were established after World War I," Albright said. "These are huge game changers and a lot of Americans are trying to figure out where the countries are. Most Americans knew little about Islam and did not know the difference between Shia and Sunni. There are things that are going on that need understanding and explanation but to put it mildly, the world is a mess."

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Arc La Rambla Barcelona
Superb location fro a cheap city base
Situated right on La Rambla in the heart of the tourist area, 50 meters from Drassanes Metro station, 2 minutes walk from the Port Vell maritime complex and a 15 minute stroll from the beach.
For this price I didn't expect much, but was pleasantly surprised when our Taxi (only 22 euros from the airport) pulled up right in the heart of the action. Everything you could want is literally right on your doorstep.
The hotel is small but kept very clean and the staff were always friendly and helpful. The single room was quite cramped with only one small window and no view, but the twin room was much roomier with an excellent view of La Rambla and even though it was on the first floor noise was not a problem.
Yes the hotel is located between 2 strip clubs and prostitutes do congregate on the pavement outside, but they were not invasive and never a problem.
Overall an ideal low cost base for all sightseeing and shopping locations.
I look forward to returning soon.
Great location, shame about the nightlife
Just got back from a weekend at the Hotel De L'Arc with a stag party. Excellent location for this kind of bash (though it has to be said that although there were 18 of us we didn't generate one complaint about noise - I don't know how well they would react to a bunch of idiots staying there) or for a few lads away for the weekend, but would not want to take my girlfriend there.
The hotel itself is excellent. The owners clearly take pride in their establishment and for what you have to pay it is well worth the money. I shared a room overlooking La Ramblas itself and wasn't particularly bothered by noise.
The bar is open to the public and is very good value (3 euros for a large beer) and the staff in the bar and on reception are friendly and hospitable.
The difficulty with staying here is nothing to do with the hotel, but with the area of La Ramblas on which it is located. Pickpockets, prostitutes and drug dealers abound, e.g. I was offered drugs quite openly at 3 in the afternoon waiting at a cash machine, and although they can be shooed away without too much trouble I wouldn't want to have to do this whilst in female company or with my kids. This being said I think that the fact that there was such a large group of men together made us a target for this kind of activity, I spoke to some women on the plane on the way back who had not been approached once - maybe I just look particularly dodgy!!
If you can cope with this kind of hassle then do not hesitate to book the Hotel De L'Arc. It is really central there are some great bars and restaurants down by the harbour and a 10 minute walk takes you to some really quite classy areas.
Exactly What We Wanted
Spent a few nights in the hotel de larc at the end of january 2005. The hotel situated at the bottom of the Ramblas, was perfect for our needs. We got a very reasonable price from Travleocity and our room was very clean and spacious (huge Bathroom) and its location meant everywhere was in walking distance. I dont think we got a taxi once.
The only downside was that some prostitues hung around the front of the hotel late at night. However, the hotel porter was always close at hand to let us in.
All in all if you can get a good deal go for it. Cheap, clean and right on the Ramblas! Its Superb value for money.
Little gem
we stayed at the de l'arc in barcelona before xmas 2003 and it was fantastic. we payed a ridiculously cheap price for it and was pleasantly surprised. it is right in the centre of the ramblas and our room was comfortable and well equipped it had a balcony looking onto the hub of activity and that was fantastic. at night it was not noisy either as i expected. the location was fab there is a strip club next door which did not bother us at all but may not suit those with families. it also has a small bar which is very nice and you could not be closer to anything. we have since recommendec it to friends who stayed there and if you are looking for good accomodation at a fraction of the cost this is an ideal choice
Good value hotel
My husband and I have just returned from this hotel after a 3 night stay. It is in an excellent position on La Rambla, close to Gothic quarter, marina, beaches, metro etc. We had a room with a balcony, the room itself was very clean and warm. Floor was marble, so take some slippers as the floor is cold. Friendly staff. Overall, hotel is excellent value for money. We will definitely return.
Very nice place
Right in the middle of las ramblas. It's clean and quiet. been there 5 days, no complains. If you want a place to sleep, right in the center of the city, this is a good place to be.
Super time
This hotel is in a great place on la rambla for seeing all the sights. metro and open top bus within 5 mins walk. Clean and well kept good breakfast and reasonable rates.
Great hotel in a great location.
Great hotel in a great location. Rooms are clean although invest in the air con. Breakfast was excellent. Short walk to Metro, Las Ramblas market which we felt was a must see, harbour and the old quarter. Will visit again.
Very Pleasant
After an unpleasant experience at the Pelayo a couple of miles up the road, De Larc Hotel come as a pleasant suprise. Very clean with good size rooms and bathroom. Staff very welcoming in both hotel & bar restaurant. Ideal location looking onto La Rambla in the heart of the City. 2 min walk from Metro and within walking distance from the nearby beach and harbour. We would recommend and we would visit again.
Fantastic Location
Fantastic location, right at the heart of Barcelona. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean if a little dated. The hotel was only rated as a 1/2 star, but was definitely worth the (cheap) price. Would stay here again.

The resource revolution
30 April 2014 [16:13] -
By Stefan Heck
Consulting professor at the Precourt Institute for Energy at Stanford University. Matt Rogers is a senior partner at McKinsey & Company. They are co-authors of Resource Revolution: How to Capture the Biggest Business Opportunity in a Century.
The world is on the threshold of the biggest business opportunity in a century, rivaling both the first Industrial Revolution, which transformed labor productivity, and the second, which mobilized unprecedented amounts of capital to build cities. The new revolution centers on the third primary factor of production: natural resources.
The revolution arrives not a moment too soon. After centuries of wasteful production and consumption practices - facilitated by ever-lower commodity prices that have declined by an average of 0.7% a year in peacetime over the past century - the world is in dire need of technologies that enable producers and consumers alike to do more with less.
Making matters more urgent, resource extraction is becoming increasingly expensive, as production shifts to locations that present difficult logistical - and often political - challenges. Meanwhile, levels of air, water, and soil pollution are rising rapidly in China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, and other emerging economies.
In order to achieve their growth objectives, companies must fundamentally rethink the way they integrate technology and use natural resources in their productive processes. Over the last two decades, companies have had to improve their performance by only 1-2% annually to achieve an increase in profits, and many have focused almost exclusively on capital and labor productivity. As a result, even the most successful managers lack the skills to cope with today's resource-constrained markets.
In this environment, companies cannot compete on the basis of twentieth-century (if not nineteenth-century) technologies and practices. There is much more value in pioneering new, higher-productivity business models, based on five key changes:
• Substituting costly, toxic, or scarce materials with cheaper, more efficient, higher-performance, and more abundant alternatives.
• Embedding software in resource-intensive industries to optimize their production processes or products.
• "Virtualizing" processes - that is, moving them out of the physical world.
• Embracing circularity, which entails finding value in products after their initial use.
• Eliminating waste.
The good news is that progress is already being made. America's burgeoning shale oil and gas industry, for example, has transformed its entire energy sector by revolutionizing resource extraction. Today, drilling is not only a dirty process characterized by heavy equipment, toxic mud, and sulfurous fumes. With the integration of information technology and hydraulic-fracturing ("fracking"), the central players are experts using joysticks and high-resolution screens to maneuver drill bits through geological formations.
Individual companies have pioneered change in other sectors. Cree and Philips have developed LED lighting technologies that offer 23 times longer life, measurably better color, easier control, and 85% lower operating costs than traditional incandescent bulbs.
Similarly, OPower has used behavioral science and cloud-based software to motivate consumers to cut their energy consumption by 2-4% annually - a change that is beginning to reshape power markets. And DIRTT (Doing it Right This Time) is building office interiors at as little as half the traditional cost through software-enabled virtualization, waste elimination, and optimization of the construction process.
These innovations exemplify the massive potential for businesses to improve resource productivity. Indeed, using tools provided by information technology, biology, and nanotechnology, the world can triple growth in resource productivity, raising it to 3 to 5% annually over the next two decades.
But this cannot occur without strong and forward-thinking leadership, which, unfortunately, is sorely lacking in today's business environment. Indeed, managers today seem consistently surprised by the pace of change and thus find themselves behind the curve.
For example, many automobile manufacturers ignored the shift toward electric and hybrid vehicles - though sales were increasing at a rate of more than 50% annually - until their sales of conventional cars plummeted in key markets. Likewise, many are shocked that the cost of solar power is increasingly undercutting that of nuclear, coal, and gas technologies, even though this shift is in line with a trend that began in 1970.
Companies should devote more attention to developments in related industries as well. Automakers must monitor the consumer electronics industry to track advances in battery technology. And power companies need to analyze the development of semiconductors to anticipate the likely drop in demand for electricity, after more than a century of growth.
To win in the resource revolution, companies must balance technological, physical, and human-capital inputs, while adopting a more intelligent approach to organizational design and talent management. Whether the primary imperative is spotlighting data and analytics or forming new partnerships in other sectors to gain access to specialized expertise, aggressive innovation, and ambitious efficiency goals are critical.
Forward-thinking entrepreneurs are already reaping the benefits of this fast-moving revolution. Those who fail to adapt will fail to survive - and soon.

Whether they started the season on the DL or currently grace it now, there are always a few studs/regular contributors that are sitting out there because of injury. Some like Derek Jeter or Mark Teixeira sit on the waiver-wire because they were already hurt. Others like Jose Reyes and Hanley Ramirez are probably owned because they got hurt during the season. Here are the top 10 injured players that should still be owned in all leagues.10. Matt Garza, SP, CHIThe Cubs currently sit in 13th place in team ERA at 3.76.

"I became operational . . . in Urbana, Illinois, on January 12, 1997."
Inspired by HAL's self-proclaimed birth date, HAL's Legacy reflects upon science fiction's most famous computer and explores the relationship between science fantasy and technological fact. The informative, nontechnical chapters written especially for this book describe many of the areas of computer science critical to the design of intelligent machines, discuss whether scientists in the 1960s were accurate about the prospects for advancement in their fields, and look at how HAL has influenced scientific research.
Contributions by leading scientists look at the technologies that would be critical if we were, as Arthur Clarke and Stanley Kubrick imagined thirty years ago, to try and build HAL in 1997: supercomputers, fault-tolerance and reliability, planning, artificial intelligence, lipreading, speech recognition and synthesis, commonsense reasoning, the ability to recognize and display emotion, and human-machine interaction. Not only would these technologies be critical in building HAL, but all are being explored for the design of today's intelligent machines. A separate chapter by philosopher Daniel Dennett considers the ethical implications of intelligent machines.
Profusely illustrated with color images from the film and from current research, HAL's Legacy provides surprising new perspectives on key moments in the film - you will never view 2001 the same way again.

Nothing but Jets
New York Jets news, commentary and insider info from beat writer Kimberley A. Martin.

Mangold picks training camp over sister's London Olympics
Rex Ryan told Nick Mangold he'd give him a pass, but the Jets center wouldn't take it.
So rather than travel to London to see his little sister compete in the 2012 Olympics, Mangold will be in Cortland, N.Y. sweating it out with his teammates.
"God bless Rex cause he did offer it to me, but I don't think I can leave my guys in the middle of training camp," Mangold said Tuesday on NFL Network. "But we'll figure out a way to watch it, and I'm real excited and real proud for her. Somehow, some way, I'll watch it. But I don't know if I can do the jump over the pond in the middle of training camp."
Holley Mangold (5-8, 374) earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic women's weightlifting team in March, after winning the clean-and-jerk competition (319 pounds) and coming in second in the two-hand snatch (242 pounds).
Mangold began his NFL Network interview by discussing his newest goal: getting Tim Tebow paired up with hurdler Lolo Jones – who, like the Jets backup quarterback, is an outspoken virgin.
When the media descended upon Tebow's locker last Thursday, Mangold chanted "Lo-Lo! Lo-Lo! Lo-Lo." But, "my message kind of got lost in the 'Tebow Time' chanting," the center said.
Though Mangold's unsure if the two will be "united," he said: "This is now my new goal. This is how I'm going to spend my spring. Usually I try to do a little golfing, but that isn't going so well. Now it's matchmaking."
