LOS ANGELES—The London West Hollywood, a modern luxury hotel located near Sunset Boulevard and on the cusp of Beverly Hills, is undergoing the first phase of its $23-million renovation.
The redesign will feature new ninth floor suites by the original designer of the property, David Collins Studio—16 Royal Vista suites as well as five specialty Gate Suites that pay homage to London's Hyde Park. These 21 suites, in addition to a new 2,600-sq.-ft. fitness center, designed by Gonzalez Architects with interiors by Richmond Design, adjacent to the first floor lobby, are set to debut this September 2014.
"I have been waiting to work again with The London West Hollywood since the day we opened, as the property delivers The David Collins Studios' unique understanding of design, service and beyond," said Simon Rawlings, creative director of The David Collins Studio. "The new Gate Suites will also take our timeless design to the next level."
The London's five new specialty suites incorporate design and amenity touches of the Aristocratic life, including artwork, accessories and books. "This new phase of The London West Hollywood elevates the property's suite accommodations by introducing an even larger and more lavish room product that further enhances the luxury experience that has become synonymous with The London brand," said Jeff Kulek, general manager of The London West Hollywood. "These exciting enhancements will complement our 200 pre-existing suites and the property as a whole, to further solidify our stature as a leading luxury hotel and destination in Los Angeles."
The color palette of the new Gate Suites was inspired by the surrounding views and California's blue sky. David Collins Studio chose gradations of blue, casting them in light and shadow. A curated mix of velvet, textured linen, grained leather, oak, relief tiles, hand-cut mosaics and chopped and polished marble, is shown throughout the rooms.
Each of these one- and two-bedroom Gate Suites range from 1,425 to 1,975 sq. ft. and attempt to provide a residential ambiance with hardwood flooring; kitchens or kitchenettes; 53-in. flat screen TVs; and three terraces with views of Los Angeles.

Grandmother earns medals in Triple Crown half marathons
By Karen Brainard
Describing herself as "very, very poorly coordinated," adding with a chuckle, "ask my granddaughters," Kathy Carpenter has finally found a sport in which she can excel.
The 71-year-old Ramonan has been running half marathons and just completed the Triple Crown — a trio of half marathons in San Diego County. She took first place among women in the 70-74 age division for each race.
"I'm just having fun," Carpenter said.
Sunday, Aug. 17, was the last of the Triple Crown races. Called America's Finest City Half Marathon, the 13.1-mile race took runners from Point Loma to the Embarcadero and through downtown San Diego to finish in Balboa Park.
"It was a horrible hot day," said Carpenter, who noted that her time of 2:38 was not her best.
She said her time of 2:09 in June during San Diego Rock 'n' Roll half marathon was her best.
"I really felt good after that one. But it was a cooler day," she noted.
Residents of San Diego Country Estates may have seen Carpenter on her early morning practice runs.
"I try to run almost every day," she said.
Most days she runs four to five miles, but one day a week she likes to run five to eight miles, she said.
Carpenter credits her granddaughter, Athena Kendzor, for getting her started with running half marathons four years ago.
Athena was in third grade then and participating in the running club at James Dukes Elementary School. When Athena asked her grandmother to run laps around the school track with her, Carpenter decided she could do that.
"My granddaughter in third grade did 100 miles for the school year. So she inspired me to run," said Carpenter.
"I have absolutely no athletic background. That's one reason why I started running," she said. "I do like to stay in shape."
This year Carpenter decided to run the Triple Crown — the Carlsbad Half Marathon in January, the La Jolla Half Marathon in April, and the Aug. 17 half marathon in San Diego.
She received a medal for completing the Triple Crown and was the first of eight finishers in her division at the Aug. 17 race.
Carpenter said she's not really a fast runner but can keep up a pace and pass up others in her age group.
"I'm just thrilled," she said.
Carpenter has the support of her husband, Bill, and many other family members, some of whom run with her in the Bolt to the Q 5K every July.
Now that she's finished the Triple Crown, Carpenter said she will probably give herself a break, but will continue to try inspiring her grandchildren to run.

Shane Williams to prolong Japan stay?
ESPN Staff
October 26, 2012

Shane Williams has revealed that he is considering extending his stay with the Mitsubishi Dynaboards for another year.
Williams' current deal expires in December but he is contemplating staying in Japan for another season. With "unbelievable" money on offer in Japan, Williams, who announced his retirement from rugby last season only to sign a deal with the Dynaboars, will consult his family before making the decision.
"If the family aren't happy and don't want me to come out then it is not going to happen," Williams told the BBC. "My family are my first concern. The reason I retired from international and professional rugby was to spend more time with the kids and the family and fortunately I'm doing a lot of that and it is great.
"If they don't want to come out here next season and they are not happy with me coming out, then I won't come out. The family are enjoying it at the moment. Financially it would be easy for me to stay, the financial gains are incredible and the money you could make in Japan at the moment is just unbelievable - and that is a big part of it because I'm looking after my family.
"There are pros and cons. There maybe an option to stay out here next year and be involved again and there are options back home. And if I stay in the UK and take some of the other options I've got, I'll be just as happy.
"I'm still enjoying playing rugby, the pressure is off as I haven't got people watching my every move and criticising or praising me. I can just get on with things. There's a little bit of pressure from the Japanese to perform well for the Dynaboars but I can handle that side of stuff."
Williams was originally lined up for an ambassadorial post with the Ospreys when he announced his retirement. But he has been coaching the Dynaboars' backs in Japan and has got the taste for a more hands-on role.
"If you would have asked me 12 months ago when I decided to retire from the Ospreys, I was going to go down another path and stay away from the coaching side of things," Williams said. "But since I've come out, I've enjoyed coaching and being involved in the meetings and discussing how we should play and how to improve the side. It is something I want to get more involved with."

The first ever collaboration of forward-thinking architect / composer Christopher Janney and legendary bassist / producer Bill Laswell promises a wild ride on the highest artistic level. The duo, with its cast of world-class musicians, utilizes composition, dance, sound, and visuals to create a multi-media experience unlike almost anything happening these days.
A new project, entitled "Exploring the Hidden Music", will be unveiled at New York's Gramercy Theatre Tuesday, November 25, 2014; at 8PM. Janney has created numerous permanent interactive sound / light installations, attempting to make architecture more "spontaneous" and, in reverse, to make music more physical. The latter will be experienced in his new version of "HeartBeat," a dance / music / cardiology mash-up, made famous in the 1990's with Mikhail Baryshnikov. Janney's "Visual Music Project," introduces visual music in "real time "with Janney performing on his custom "visual synthesizer." Janney and Laswell intend to "explore the hidden music" - found in spaces, the human body and in the meeting of artistic minds.
Laswell is the natural choice to be the musical director for the evening, and his cast of musicians covers a wide variety of styles, from jazz to rock to worldbeat to soul (much like Laswell himself!). Onstage will be Trilok Gurtu (John McLaughlin, Joe Zawinul), Dave Revels (The Persuasions), Sheila E. (Prince, Ringo Starr) and Lynn Mabry (Talking Heads, Sly Stone, Stevie Nicks, Bette Midler) and turntablist D.J. Logic. In Sara Rudner, Janney acquired a prominent choreographer and long-time collaborator who currently holds the position of Director of Dance at Sarah Lawrence College. The interactive sound / light installations at the door and a new interactive light work "Touch my Light" over DJ Adam Gibbons (Uhuru Afrika) set with live drumming makes sure to round out the program.
Podcast 456 previews this event, and my conversation with Christopher Janney digs into the philosophy behind the project, as with the planning and execution of an event of such large scale. Musical selections include representative performances from musicians, who will be performing, like Trilok Gurtu, including an excerpt from a performance of "HeartBeat" with The Persuasions for the American Heart Association, from February, 2013.

November is here and I can no longer pretend that the days are going to be warm. Leaves carpet the lawns and streets here in New England. Autumn is truly in the air.
Last week my wife Nancy and I were in Manhattan for a few days, and found ourselves sitting on park bench in Central Park, resting our feet for a while. In a fit of inspiration, I grabbed my iPhone and serenaded her with Tal Farlow's version of "Autumn in New York", as we watched leaves slowly fall from the trees and people bustle about their business. It was a moment of technological serendipity, allowing just the right song to be plucked seemingly out of nowhere.
So Podcast 455 is a slew of Autumn-themed tunes, some extremely familiar to you, others not so much. Of particular interest is the tune that kicks off the podcast, a solo bass version of "Autumn Leaves" by Scott Devine. Scott is a British musician who has a burgeoning online site called Scott's Bass Lessons, a spot I've learned a thing or two from over the past year. Check it out here if you have not done so previously. And enjoy.
Scott Devine – "Autumn Leaves" from his website.
Art Farmer – "Autumn Nocturne" from Early Art.
Patricia Barber – "Early Autumn" from Split.
Hank Jones & Frank Wess – "Autumn Serende" from Hank and Frank.
Jerker Kluge's Deep Jazz – "Autumn Sun" from The Meeting.
Larry Coryell – "The First Day of Autumn" from The Lift.
Phil Woods – "Autumn Thieves" from Chasin' the Bird.
Paul Bley – "Autumn Breeze" from Early Trios (1953-1954).
Aga Zaryan – "Autumn Quince" from The Book of Luminous Things.
Sonny Stitt - Title Track from Autumn in New York.
Dee Dee Bridgewater – "Les Feuilles Mortes (Autumn Leaves)" from Keeping Tradition.

Shall we tick off the names of the great jazz guitarists who plied their art before the advent of the rock era? The names always begin with Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt and Freddie Green. Then we move to Kenny Burrell, Herb Ellis, Barney Kessel, Jimmy Raney - and don't forget about Tal Farlow.
Farlow helped pioneer a be-bop approach to the guitar, playing small clusters of notes, often in rapid succession. His improvisations were highly angular, rather than merely playing the changes of shifting chords. He debuted in1943, and then cut his teeth in bands led by Marjorie Hyams, and especially vibes player Red Norvo.. His huge hands, which earned him the nickname "Octopus", and his keen sense of time made him one of the top guitarists of the era. After six months with Artie Shaw's Gramercy Five in 1953, Farlow put together his own group, which for a time included pianist Eddie Costa, and for five years they were at the top of their craft. Check out The Swinging Guitar of Tal Farlow on Verve Records to listen and learn. Truly, it never got better than this.
In 1958, Farlow retired from full-time performing and worked with the Gibson guitar company (producing the "Tal Farlow model" in 1962), local groups and other pursuits. It wasn't until the late Seventies that Tal would return to full-time jazz performance and recording, mostly with Concord Records. He died in 1998 at the age of 77 of esophageal cancer.
Since his death, Tal's legacy has been kept alive by guitar players across the world. The latest tribute to the great man will come with the publication of Tal Farlow – A Life in Jazz Guitar, by Jean-Luc Katchoura and Muchele Hyk-Farlow (Tal's widow). Full of previously unpublished photos from the guitarist's private collection, the illustrated biography should do much to reestablish Farlow as a true six-string legend.
To celebrate the release, a number of top guitarists will come together on November 13th to honor Tal Farlow at New York's Zinc Bar (82 West 3rd Street). Playing that night will be five of today's finest stylists – Gene Bertoncini, Vic Juris, Ron Affif, Paul Bollenback and Jack Wilkins.
Wilkins, who celebrated his 70th birthday this past summer, knew Farlow, and speaks warmly about his old friend in Podcast 454. A veteran of bands and session work with the likes of Bob Brookmeyer, Stanley Turrentine, Jimmy Heath, Ray Charles, and Tony Bennett, Wilkins' versatile playing is still in fine shape. Our conversation includes his take on what made Tal great, how the various electronic devices guitarists can use have changed - or not changed - their approach, and what he tells his students about being a musician. Musical selections from Tal Farlow include "Fascinating Rhythm", "Skylark (with the Red Norvo) and "Autumn in New York", and Jack Wilkins tunes include "Awakened Sound" and "No Smokin'" from his trio album Bluesin', backed by Steve Wood on organ and Tony Dawson on drums.

Miguel Zenón has become one of jazz's most original thinkers. At the age of 37, he's one of the best-known alto saxophonists in jazz, a winner of a Guggenheim fellowship, and one of only a handful of jazz musicians to be chosen for the coveted MacArthur "genius" fellowships (in 2008), In many ways, he is at the forefront of a new movement that in recent years has brought the composer to a new prominence in jazz.
Beyond his facility at writing and playing music, there is a great intellectual subject at the center of Miguel Zenón's artistic world: the complexity of Puerto Rican culture. He has touched on the musical history of his native land on past albums, most recently Oye!!! Live In Puerto Rico. His latest release, Identities Are Changeable, moves beyond presentations of the folkloric or historical musical genres with a sweeping song cycle for large ensemble, held together with the spoken word. Miguel interviewed friends, relatives and even members of his band on the nature of Puerto Rican-American identity, particularly New York Puerto Rican-American identity. These recordings form the soul of the new CD, as a large ensemble plays new music written for the project, led by his longtime quartet (Luis Perdomo, piano; Hans Glawischnig, bass; Henry Cole, drums).
Commissioned as a multi-media work by Montclair State University's Peak Performances series, it has a multi-media element with audio and video footage from the interviews, complemented by a video installation created by artist David Dempewolf. It's been performed at such prestigious venues as the New England Conservatory's Jordan Hall in Boston, The SFJAZZ Center in San Francisco, and Zankel Hall in the Carnegie Hall complex in New York City.

The Thelonious Monk Quartet with Charlie Rouse lasted eleven years when they hit the hippest club in Los Angles, "The It Club" for two dates on October 31 and November 1, 1964. Rouse had formally filled the revolving sax chair that had been held alternately by Johnny Griffin, John Coltrane and even Clark Terry, in Monk's varying sized groups six years earlier, and was near the height of his powers as a Monk foil.
The Rhythm section, however, was new - drummer Ben Riley had joined at the beginning of the year and bassist Larry Gales had only logged in a month at the time of these dates, replacing Butch Warren (who had replaced John Ore). However, the recordings made fifty years ago today show a band mature beyond their time together. Apparently there were no formal plans to record the show for release on Columbia Records, and the name of the label engineer who recorded the evening on three-track tapes is now lost to history. What we have on Live at the It Club are highlights from the 3 sets he played on each night (the Mosaic Records reissue features the entire two night stand), a typical Monk mix of standards ("I'm Getting Sentimental over You" and "All the Things You Are" bookend the evening) and originals, including "Brilliant Mississippi" which had been released the previous year on Monk's Dream. Fans interested in this particularly fertile period of Monk's career should check out the album Solo Monk he recorded on the afternoons preceding and following these shows in an L.A. studio. Two days later, on November 3, the Quartet was upstate in San Francisco, where Live at the Jazz Workshop was recorded.

My wife Nancy and I will be in attendance at the Beacon Theatre in New York City Monday night when the Allman Brothers Band plays their next-to-last live performance together. After 45 years of existence, the venerable band has decided they will no longer perform as a group, and will go on to other projects.
Few rock bands are as integrally involved with jazz as the Allman Brothers Band. From their very beginning, guitarist Duane Allman was inspired and awe-struck by the music that Miles Davis and John Coltrane were playing. Read Robert Palmer's liner notes for the re-issue of Kind of Blue, and you'll learn about the effect it had on Duane. In part, he writes:
Duane was a rare melodist and a dedicated student of music who was never evasive about the sources of his inspiration. "You know," he told me one night after soaring for hours on wings of lyrical song, "that kind of playing comes from Miles and Coltrane, and particularly Kind Of Blue. I've listened to that album so many times that for the past couple of years, I haven't hardly listened to anything else."
For a worthy essay on these topics, check out "The Serendipity of Two Musical Heroes: Duane Allman and John Coltrane" by David Gardiner, and an excerpt from Guitar Player magazine that quotes Duane on Trane and Miles. To hear the man himself at his Coltrane inspired best, listen to "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" and while you do, read this insightful Wikipedia entry on the song, where Duane's solos are compared with Coltrane's "sheets of sound" and Miles' modal recordings on Kind of Blue.
The jazz connections did not die when Duane passed away in 1971. The onstage lineup of two guitars, organ/piano, bass and two drummers (and later a percussionist) presented more like a jazz band than a rock group. And their sound – deeply improvisational, often modal in approach – is pure jazz.
The last few years of the band have seen jazz musicians like saxophonist Bill Evans join the group onstage on a regular basis, and it's not uncommon to find a cover of Miles' "Spanish Key" finding its way into their set lists, as you will hear in the Podcast.
I've seen close to a dozen ABB shows, and I've never been disappointed. I'm sure there will be some memorable moments Monday night as Gregg, Warren, Derek, Oteil, Jaimoe, Butch and Marc leave us yelling for more. But after Tuesday, there will only be the recorded music and the memories. They won't be "hittin' the note" onstage again.
Podcast 451 celebrates jazz takes on the ABB songbook, plus the band, collectively and individually (including their bands, like the Jaimoe/Chuck Leavell/Lamar Williams combo Sea Level or Warren Haynes' Gov't Mule), tackling jazz flavored tunes and covers, including:
Joel Harrison 7 – "Whipping Post" from Search
Jaimoe's Jasssz Band – "Melissa" from Renaissance Man
John Pizzarelli – "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" from Double Exposure
Buddy Miles – "Dreams" from Them Changes.
Derek Trucks Band – "Naima" from The Derek Trucks Band
Gov't Mule – "Trane" from an unreleased recording February 22, 2014 at Charleston, WV
Sea Level – "Rain in Spain" from Sea Level.
Allman Brothers Band (with Bill Evans on sax and John Ginty on piano)– "Spanish Key" from an unreleased recording at the Beacon Theatre in New York, March 14, 2011
Ken Navarro – "Little Martha" from The Test of Time.
While they won't be there Tuesday night, other musicians who I've seen on the bandstand holding down a guitar spot as members deserve a shout out as well – Dickey Betts, Jimmy Herring, and Jack Pearson. And as always, fans will remember Duane, Berry Oakley, Lamar Williams, Allen Woody and others who are no longer there in body, but always in spirit.

Mark Elf is one of the most unsung guitar heroes in jazz today. His performance and composition abilities are outstanding, and he plays with a fire and soulfulness that many hotshot players lack. Check out any of his recordings on his own Jen Bay Records imprint, to hear someone at the height of his powers. For my money, his 1998 release, Trickynometry, is one of the finest jazz guitar albums of the past twenty years.
After making his professional debut in 1971, Elf followed in the footsteps of guitarists like George Benson and made a name for himself being a sideman for great Hammond B-3 players. He recorded his first album as a sideman with Jimmy McGriff & Groove Holmes in 1973, Giants of the Organ Come Together. In the late 1970's Mark worked with Junior Cook and Bill Hardman in New York City and also recorded with them on the Muse Label. Since then, he has he toured Europe with Dizzy Gillespie, Clark Terry and other jazz luminaries, and recorded with Jon Hendricks and the Heath Brothers. All of his solo records on Jen Bay have reached the top ten on National Jazz Radio, with nine of them going to the top of the charts consecutively since 1997.
After an eight year hiatus, Elf is back with the appropriately titled Mark Elf Returns. The CD features seven originals and three covers, all played by Elf and a superior backing group, which includes David Hazeltine on piano, Peter Washington on bass and Lewis Nash on drums. The tunes have the same spritely bopping sound, as Elf toys with tempos and speeds to bring out the many facets of his playing. He brings out his baritone guitar for a pair of tunes, an instrument that is often neglected in recent jazz (save for a pair of Pat Metheny CDs).
Podcast 450 is my conversation with Mark, as he talks about the new CD, how he chooses cover tunes, the state of jazz education, and his affinity for the drumming of Lewis Nash. Songs from Mark Elf Returns include "Jacky's Jaunt" and "Low Blow", along with a tune from previous releases, including "Dot Com Blues" from Trickynometry,

A rising star gets her chance to shine tonight when Alicia Olatuja celebrates the release of her solo debut CD Timeless with a performance at the BRIC Ballroom in Brooklyn, New York. Ms. Olatuja and her pure, shimmering voice have been on the fringes of the music scene for the past few years. It was her voice, rising through the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, which moved so many people during President Obama's inauguration in 2013. And her stage performances in productions on stages from The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.to Edinburgh's Fringe Festival have garnered universally positive reviews.
The aptly named Timeless may move her into a different musical level. Backed by her core band of her husband Michael Olatuja on bass, Jon Cowherd on piano, David Rosenthal on guitar and first-call jazz drummer Ulysses Owens, Jr on percussion, she has put together a collection of songs that showcase her wonderful soprano voice. In tunes as diverse as a lively "Serrado" to a moving "In the Dark", she gives performances that remind us what great singers sounded like before the world became infected with "American Idol" over-singing and "The Voice" over-emoting.
I hesitate to call this a "jazz album" in the classic form. There is no scatting, no unusual settings or vocal improvisation and pyrotechnics that one expects from an album by, say, Diane Reeves or Karrin Allyson. However, as with the likes of Lizz Wright and Gretchen Parlato, there is a wonderful understatement in her delivery that allows her to shine. It doesn't hurt that she has brought in some of today's top jazz stars for guest shots. Gregoire Maret's harmonica gives Wonder-ish warmth to the cover of "Stay Gold", and Christian Sands' piano accompaniment to a moving "Over the Rainbow" gives the tune some needed stability. Best of all is a gorgeously staged duet with Christian McBride, the spare and moving "Speak the Words". Here's hoping her stage performance tonight allows her to continue to build musical momentum.

Murdoch Media Scandal Topics
Democracy Now! archive of reports about Rupert Murdoch, the media scandal that is engulfing his media empire from Britain to the United States, and his Fox News Network.

Between 1926 and 1934 Sheeler produced a series of seven paintings — among them "Americana" — that depict the interior of his home in South Salem, New York, and his prized collection of early American furnishings. "Americana," as well as the others, may have been based on one of the interior photographs that Sheeler took of his house about 1929. Filled with a profusion of precisely rendered objects — but no people — the painting seems oddly frozen in time and emotionally distant. The floor and furniture seem to tip upward toward the viewer, making them look off-balance and rather two-dimensional. The long trestle table and the two side benches hover like flat boards over the other furniture and the floor. The conflicting geometric and linear patterns of the four rugs, two pillows, woven sofa covering, backgammon set, and cast shadows add to our visual discomfort, as does the unusual cropping of objects. The verity of Sheeler's realism, however, makes us willing to accept these inconsistencies. The painting is as much a portrait of the artist's living space as it is a statement about national pride and the values of home and craftsmanship.

[0001] This application claims priority from, and incorporates by reference, U.S. Provisional application serial number 60/114,574 filed Dec. 31, 1998. The subject matter of this application is related to the subject matter of copending U.S. patent application Ser. Nos.______, entitled �System and Method For Evaluating Character Sets To Determine A Best Match Encoding A Message,� �System and Method For Evaluating Character Sets Of A Message Containing A Plurality Of Character Sets,� and �System and Method For Evaluating Character Sets,� respectively, each filed the same day as this application and each having the same inventors and being assigned or under obligation of assignment to the same assignee as the present application, and each incorporated by reference. The subject matter of this application is also related to the subject matter of copending U.S. patent application Ser. Nos.______, entitled �System and Method For Outputting Character Sets In Best Available Fonts,��System and Method For Using Character Set Matching To Enhance Print Quality,��System and Method For Output Of Multipart Documents,� and �System and Method For Highlighting Of MultiFont Documents,� respectively, each being assigned or under obligation of assignment to the same assignee as this application, each filed the same day as this application, and each also incorporated by reference.
[0002] The invention relates to the field of information processing, and more particularly to the matching of candidate character sets to the intended language of an electronic message for purposes of database searching.
[0003] With the use of the Internet, email and related electronic services, communications software has been increasingly called upon to handle data in a variety of formats. While the barriers to simple communications have been removed from many hardware implementations, the problem of operating system or application software being unable to display text in different languages remains.
[0004] For instance, a person browsing the World Wide Web may wish to input a search string in their native language. Some Web pages or search engines will simply accept that string in the form in which it was input, but not process the spelling, syntax or character set in native form. The search engine then performs a search as though the search were in English, usually resulting in no hits. Other Web pages may allow a user to manually specify the desired language for browsing and searching. There is a need for more robust and more highly automated language handling for general searching, messaging and other communications purposes.
[0005] The invention overcoming these and other problems in the art relates to a system and method whereby electronic messages coded in a universal character set such as Unicode or others can be reliably and accurately transmitted using standard conventional encoding methods over the Internet or other networks. The encoded documents may be in MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions), STMP, HTML, XML or other formats.
[0006] An object of the invention is to provide an automatic and rigorous language evaluation facility by which the content of a message represented in a universal character set is tested against a bank of available language character sets, to determine which if any of those candidate languages can express the message.
[0007] Another object of the invention is to provide a system and method for evaluating character sets which identify languages which are capable of expressing the message from the language bank, to present to a user or otherwise.
[0008] Another object of the invention is to provide a system and method for evaluating character sets which assign a rating to languages which can express a given message, to determine which of those candidate languages offers the best fit to express the message.
[0009] Another object of the invention is to provide a system and method for evaluating a character set which permit searching and reading of text expressions in their native character sets, improving the quality of search results.
[0010] The system and method of the invention accomplishing these and other objects employs a character table bank against which the ability of a number of character sets, representing different languages, to encode a given character is tested. When a message of unknown origin is presented to the system, its characters are parsed and tested against the character table bank to separate the character sets (hence languages) to identify which of the pool of character sets can express each character.
[0011] A character set which contains a match for every character of the message is likely to be the native language of the original message. Tallies of matches to individual characters across all available character sets in the character table bank can also be made for the message as a whole. The invention has been implemented in and will be described in one regard with respect to the Lotus Notes� environment, but it will be understood that the invention has universal application and can be used in any system that needs to receive and display information in multiple languages.
[0012] The invention will be described with respect to the accompanying drawings, in which like elements are referenced with like numbers and in which:

[0018]FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating character set processing according to a third embodiment of the invention.
[0019]FIG. 7 illustrates character set encoding according to the Unicode standard.
[0020]FIG. 1 illustrates a system for evaluating character sets according to the invention, in which a controller 102 is connected to an input/output unit 106, memory 104 (such as electronic random access memory) and storage 108 (such as a hard disk) over electronic bus 118, as will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art. Input/output unit 106 is configured to receive and transmit messages in electronic format, such as email or other textual forms. Controller 102 and associated components may be or include, for example, a personal computer running the Microsoft Windows� 95, 98, NT�, Unix, Linux, Solaris�, OS/2�, BeOS, MacOS� or other operating system.
[0021] Input/output unit 106 may be connected to the Internet (as shown) or other network interfaces, using or including as a segment any one or more of, for instance, the Internet, an intranet, a LAN (Local Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network) or MAN (Metropolitan Area Network), a frame relay connection, Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) connection, a synchronous optical network (SONET) connection, digital T1, T3 or E1 line, Digital Data Service (DDS) connection, DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) connection, an Ethernet connection, ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) line, a dial-up port such as a V.90, V.34 or V.34bis analog modem connection, a cable modem, an ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) connection, FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Networks) or CDDI (Copper Distributed Data Interface) connections. Input/output unit 106 may likewise be connected to a network interface using or including WAP (Wireless Application Protocol), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) or CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) radio frequency links, RS-232 serial connections, IEEE-1394 (Firewire) connections, USB (Universal Serial Bus) connections or other wired or wireless, digital or analog interfaces or connections. Input/output unit 106 can also receive input data directly from a keyboard, scanner or any other data source. Input/output unit 106 receives an textual electronic message 116 in character-based, alphanumeric textual form for processing according to the invention. The necessary processing is initiated and carried out by controller 102, in cooperation with memory 104, input/output unit 106, storage 110 and related components, according to the following.
[0022] It should be noted that the invention presupposes that the characters of textual message 116 are available internally in a universal character set format. A universal character set refers to a character encoding scheme that can be used to encode a large number of alphabets. The invention supports at least two universal character sets, the internationally promulgated 16-bit Unicode, and LMBCS (Lotus Multi-Byte Character Set) but contemplates the use of any universal encoding scheme. An illustration of the 16-bit format of Unicode is shown in FIG. 7. As in shown that figure, the Unicode standard assigns different address ranges within the 16 bit address space to different scripts, so that when a character code point (address) is known, it is straightforward using the Unicode and coding layout to identify a corresponding script. The script in this sense is a larger lingual object than a character set, and can include symbols used within multiple languages.
[0023] Thus, the low level bit values for each character in the textual message 116 are expected by the invention to be presented in a predetermined binary format, even if the actual language being used to express the textual message 116 built from those characters is not clear or known ahead of time.
[0024] The system and method of the invention executes at least four decoding functions upon receipt of a textual message 116 of unknown language. The first is feasibility, that is, the decision at the threshold whether the textual message can be encoded in at least one of the character sets 114 recorded in a character table bank 110 stored in storage 108. If the textual message 116 can not be translated to any available character set, processing must be returned to the user without results.
[0025] The invention in a second regard generates a quantified list of the coverage offered by each of the character sets in the bank (and their associated languages) for every character of the textual message 116. Third, when no single character set perfectly expresses the textual message 116, the invention identifies the character set(s) that provides the best available coverage for the character string contained in textual message 116.
[0026] The invention fourthly provides a division mechanism which accepts textual messages containing different portions in different languages that therefore cannot be encoded entirely in one character set, and encodes them in multiple parts. This encoding option can be used for instance in multipart MIME messages.
[0027] All of these feature sets may be implemented using machine readable code compatible with controller 102 to generate application programming interfaces (APIs) and associated functions operating on character table bank 110. Character table bank 110 contains information about each character supported by the pool of character sets used by the invention, encoded in Unicode or other universal code.
[0028] The character table bank 110 in one embodiment includes all the alphanumeric alphabets used in the languages of Western, Central and Eastern Europe, North and South America, the Middle East, Republic of China, Peoples' Republic of China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam and India Character table bank 110 is extensible, and support for other languages can be added or others deleted. For those alphabets where multiple encodings are commonly in use, multiple entries can be created. For example, Western European character data can be encoded as ISO-8859-1 or Microsoft Windows� codepage 1252. The particulars of those encoding standards are known in the art, including by way of standards published by the International Standards Organization.
[0029] The format of character table bank 110, as illustrated for example in FIG. 3, is that each row represents an entry for one character contained in character field 112, the row being 32 bits wide. Across the row, each bit indicates whether the character contained in character field 112 for that row is contained in, and can be expressed by, a series of character sets. Each column of character table bank 110 represents one character set in predetermined sequence, and the bit value (Boolean true or false) in that column indicates whether the character set corresponding to that column can express the character which is the subject of that row.
[0030] In the first row of character table bank 110 illustrated in FIG. 1, the character is � (Latin letter �A� with acute), and the first character field 112 represents ISO 8859-1 which is referred to as Latin-1, which is almost identical to MS Windows CP 1252 used in the Americas and Western Europe. (In other words, this encompasses English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Italian, Finnish and some less widely used minority languages and variants such as Flemish, Catalan, Swiss German, etc.).
[0031] The second character field 112 represents ISO 8859-2, a.k.a. Latin-2, which is used to represent Central European languages: Polish, Czech, Slovak, Bulgarian, Slovenia, Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, Macedonian and Romanian (some of these also have Cyrillic representations), and so forth. It will be noted that the character sets corresponding to each bit entry (column) in character field 112 need not strictly represent only the characters of a single language's alphabet, but can represent larger ensembles of several dialects or languages in an overall character set or script. For instance, the character set for the Korean language (ISO 2022-KR) contains Japanese characters, as a subset.
[0032] In the practice of the invention it is preferable that certain optimizations be performed on the character table bank 110. Those include encoding of the rows and columns of character table bank 110 for compression such as in hexadecimal format, for faster processing. Other encoding can be done for other desired properties such as faster processing or I/O (any of which can be done by appropriate conventional techniques).
[0033] ASCII data is also preferably excluded from character table bank 110, since all electronic document formats include this range as a subset. In other words, if the data can be encoded entirely in ASCII, they can be included in any and all other character set encodings. A further reason for excluding them is speed: a quick scan of the data can identify if the string can be encoded as ASCII without performing a look up against any tables. ASCII here refers to the set of characters described by the standard ISO 646 IRV. As noted, the illustrated embodiment is restricted to 32 bit wide rows, but this can be extended to 64 bits or other widths in different implementations.
[0034] Each character registered in the character field 112 of the character table bank 110 is encoded according to the character's Unicode code value. It is this value that is used to test an input letter or other character from electronic message 116 to identify matching character sets. For example, and as illustrated in FIG. 3, the character �encoded in Unicode by value U+00C1 has an entry (logical 1) indicating that it is present in the following character sets, each set having a particular corresponding column:
[0035] As shown in FIG. 3, this results in a pattern of 32 bits of (little endian):
0000 0000 0100 1110 0000 0001 0000 1111
[0036] which is recorded as the entry across the first row of character table bank 110.
[0037] In one aspect of the invention illustrated in FIG. 2, upon receipt of an electronic message 116 the invention must determine at the threshold whether it is possible to express the characters making up the message in any of the available character sets stored in character table bank 110. The invention carries out this treatment according to the following processing steps, illustrated by the following generalized pseudocode (API):
[0038] The function EvaluateTextMessage invokes the following processing steps, as illustrated in FIG. 2. It may be noted that the character sets against which the electronic textual message 116 will be tested need not include all available character sets in character table bank 110, but can be any selected group of character sets passed in the CharSetTestList parameter.
[0039] Processing begins in step 200. In step 202, a bit mask is created from the character sets supplied in the CharSetTestList parameter. This mask is in the same columnar format as the character table bank 110; that is, the desired candidate character sets have corresponding masks (logical value 1) in their assigned columns, as illustrated in FIG. 3.
[0040] In step 204, the parsing of textual message 116 is begun. For each character in the textual message, a logical AND is performed between the supplied character sets' bit mask and the value returned from the character's row of the character table bank 110. This process is repeated until the termination test of step 208 is met. That test is whether either the end of the textual message 116 has been reached, or the result of the mask is zero, indicating that the candidate character sets cannot represent any more of the textual message 116.
[0041] In step 210 the CharSetMatchList parameter is filled with logical values flagging the character sets that survived the character-by-character scan for the entire textual message 116. In step 212 the current position in the textual message 116 (displacement from the start of the message) is placed in the TextStringOffset parameter to return. Finally, in step 214 the MatchStatus parameter is set to return and indicate success (the entire textual message could be encoded) or failure (less than all of the textual message could be encoded). In step 216 processing ends.
[0042] The returned list of matching character sets in CharSetMatchList is in the same order in which they were specified to the function EvaluateTextMessage, retaining their implicit priority. Controller 102 may then operate to present the list of matching character sets to a user for selection, if desired. As a preferable option, if the string contains only characters that can be encoded in ASCII, this character set is returned as the first in the list, even if it was not explicitly included in the input list. ASCII is returned for similar reasons as noted above: if the data are all ASCII, any encoding can be used. (In the Lotus Notes� environment discussed below this is an indication that the standard MIME designation of US-ASCII is to be used).
[0043] Note that the TextStringOffset parameter must be initialized to zero. This means that the function EvaluateTextMessage can be called several times with the offset parameter automatically being advanced. This has the desirable effect in one embodiment of splitting a multilingual document into multiple MIME text parts.
[0044] For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4 assume we have a multilingual document containing the following textual segments:
[0045] Assume that parameter CharSetTestList contains the entries ISO-2022-JP, ISO-2022-KR and US-ASCII. (Under the ISO standards, since all character sets support ASCII, this implies that the Japanese and Korean character sets also support English). Then the first call for the function EvaluateTextMessage (with TextStringOffset=0) stops at offset 950, with the CharSetMatchList set equal to ISO-2022-JP, and the MatchStatus return value as failed. This is because no given character set can represent all of the characters of English, Japanese and Korean at the same time.
[0046] Calling the function again without resetting the TextStringOffset and with the same input character set test list results in the CharSetMatchList being returned as ISO-2022-KR for the next segment of textual message 116, since Korean is a superset of Japanese. The offset at this juncture is 1000 (the end) and the MatchStatus flag is set to success. In cases where the MatchStatus flag returns a failure, the calling resource can default to choose Unicode as the encoding method for the textual message 116.
[0047] In another embodiment of the invention, it may be desirable to develop more detailed quantitative information concerning the degree of overlap of different character sets to the characters of the textual message 116. A corresponding API is presented in the following table, which differs from the functionality above in Table 2 in that it returns the number of characters that can be encoded in each of the partially matching character. sets.
[0048] The function EvaluateTextMessageWithCount invokes the following processing steps, illustrated in FIG. 5. Processing begins in step 300. In step 302, a bit mask is created from the character sets supplied in the parameter CharSetTestList. Again, this mask has the same correspondence between columns and character sets as the character table bank 110. In step 304, parsing of the textual message 116 is begun. For each character, in step 306 a logical AND is performed between the bit masks of CharSetTestList and the value returned from the character's row of character table bank 110, in the manner illustrated in FIG. 3.
[0049] In step 308, the results of the logical AND operation are stored by incrementing a corresponding count parameter in CharSetMatchList for each matching character set. These steps are repeated until the end of message test (as above) of step 310 is reached. In step 312, the current position in the textual message string (displacement from the start) is stored in the TextStringOffsetPosition parameter. In step 314, the FullMatch parameter is returned, indicating either a full match of the supplied textual message 116 to one or more character sets (logical 1), or not (logical 0, less than all of the message string could be encoded). After the entire textual message 116 is parsed, the count parameter for each character set in CharSetMatch list reflects the total number of matches that set contains for that message. In step 316, processing ends.
[0050] In another embodiment of the invention, the invention makes a normative decision concerning the character set which best matches the characters of the textual message 116. A corresponding API is presented in the following Table 4, which differs from the functionality above in Tables 2 and 3 in that it returns the number of characters that can be encoded in each of the partially matching character sets. The invention then automatically chooses the character set that best represents the given textual message 116. One purpose of this embodiment is to provide a utility whereby multilingual data can be sent with least possible information loss, when circumstances prevent the use of a universal character set or a multi-part mail message.
[0051] The function invokes the following processing steps, illustrated in FIG. 6. Processing begins in step 400. In step 402, as above a bit mask is created from the character sets supplied in the parameter CharSetTestList. Again, this mask has the same correspondence between columns and character sets as the character table bank 110. In step 404, the parsing of textual message 116 is begun. For each character, in step 406 a logical AND is performed between the bit masks of CharSetTestList and the value returned from the character's row of character table bank 110. In step 408, the results of the logical AND operation are stored by incrementing a corresponding count for each matching character set in CharSetMatchList. These steps are repeated until the end of the textual message 116 has been reached at the end of message test (as above) of step 410.
[0052] In step 412, the totals in the CharSetMatch list are multiplied by the corresponding weights contained in the CharSetWeightList, to generate a weighted match total. The CharSetWeightList takes into account Han unification, in which the ideographic characters used in China, Taiwan, Japan and Korea are mapped to the same codepoint in Unicode, even though these may have slightly different visual representations in each of the countries. In other words, the visual variants have been unified to a specific single binary representation for these languages.
[0053] In step 414, the character set having the highest total after these calculations is identified and stored in the parameter BestMatchCharSet as the best match to the textual message 116. In step 416, the current position in the textual message string (displacement from the start) is stored in the TextStringOffsetPosition parameter. In step 418, the FullMatch parameter is returned, indicating either a full match of the supplied textual message 116 to one or more character sets (logical 1), or not (logical 0, less than all of the message string could be encoded). In step 420, processing ends.
[0054] The invention in one implementation finds application in the Lotus Notes�/Domino� environment, for a variety of textual functions. In one respect, the Notes� client application stores/processes messages in a multilingual character set (Unicode or LMBCS). When these are sent to the Internet, this internal character set must be converted to the appropriate character set for use on the Internet. The logic executed by the invention as described herein can tell the Notes� client which character set should be used, based on the content of the message.
[0055] Sometimes Unicode messages arrive directly from the Internet to a client application. Notes� converts these messages into an internal character set, but must know which language is used in the message. Applying the logic of this invention, if the message can be well represented in a Korean character set, a client application can assume that it is a Korean message. This allows Notes� for instance to accurately encode the message in its internal Korean character set.
[0056] Notes� and other client applications can also enhance full text search features using the logic of the invention in at least two ways. First, the invention in this regard can be used to create a search index. The search engine in Lotus Notes� depends on an associated codepage representing each document that is to be indexed. The invention can indicate the most appropriate character set to or sets assign to a codepage to use for this indexing, based on the character set that can best represent it.
[0057] Second, in terms of executing searches the Notes� search engine stores index information into several indices for each codepage. When a query is executed, the query string is processed according to the invention to determine the character set that should be used, thereby dictating which index (or indices) to search. For example, if the query string is in English, all indices are searched. (Again, the reason for assuming that English is in all indices is because ASCII, which can be used to encode all English, is a subset of all the character sets currently supported). However, if the query string is in Greek, the search may be restricted to the Greek index for only documents containing that character set. These commercial embodiments and client implementations are exemplary, and many others are contemplated through the character set evaluation technology of the invention.
[0058] The invention also contemplates the preparation and storage of computer software in a machine-readable format such as a floppy or other magnetic, optical or other drive, which upon execution carries out the character set evaluation actions of the invention.
[0059] The foregoing description of the system and method of the invention is illustrative, and variations in implementation and configuration will occur to persons skilled in the art. For instance, while the invention has been described as decoding a received textual email message, many other varieties of messages, including alphanumeric pages, wireless telephony, teletype and others may be evaluated according to the principles of the invention. Character set processing according to the invention moreover can be carried out locally in a client workstation, remotely on a server or in other manners and on other suitable hardware. The scope of the invention is accordingly intended to be limited only by the following claims.

6 Things Creatives Can Learn From Louis C.K.
Comedian, writer, filmmaker, TV show creator, and actor Louis C.K. has been getting an increasing amount of attention lately and for very good reason. He is incredibly hard working and talented. Not only is he a comedian who sells out practically everywhere he is booked and appears regularly on late night talk shows like the Tonight Show, Late Night, and Conan, he has a popular television show, simply called Louie that he has complete control over. He has also appeared in award winning films by directors such as Woody Allen and David O. Russell, and has revolutionized the way comedians distribute their content and sell tickets. It is easy to say that he has a lot to teach creative professionals who want to achieve the same levels of success and freedom that he has has. [Read more…]
The World's Oldest Pants: 3000+ Years Old and They Haven't Changed Much… at Least For Hippies
Long before gowns, robes, tunics, and togas were the common dress in the Roman Empire, nomadic herders in western China were pulling on pants. This pair of trousers excavated from a Yanghai graveyard in China's Tarim Basin are between 3,300 and 3,000 years old, making them the oldest example of this form of apparel known to exist… and they look a lot like hippie pants.

A Moment After Kissing His Subjects, This Photographer Takes a Shot
Jedediah Johnson says he picked up photography as a way to meet girls he could kiss. At first it didn't go as planned (meeting lots of girls, but kissing none of them), but it sure looks like it's working now. His series, The Makeout Project is a lip locked affair that sees the Chicago-based artist donning copious amounts of red lipstick and kissing his subjects, both women and men. Shortly after he removes his lips – but before he removes his steadying hand – Jedediah takes his photo. [Read more…]

Depending on where you are in life, these graphics will either be highly motivating or panic inducing.
We all know our life has a limited number of years, and if we're optimistic that might be 90. You'd think with such a small number like 90 we'd be more willing to make the most of each year, but most of us are pretty short sighted, letting each small day pass without any more motivation than getting to those two glorious days we call the weekend. Maybe there's a better way to visualize this…

Google Sent One Man to a Deserted Japanese Island… to Map It
Forget roads. Google is more and more frequently found mapping the entire face of the planet, often with their 360 degree recording, backpack-based Google Trekker. In one recent adventure, they sent one man to document abandoned Hashima island off the coast of Nagasaki Prefecture in Japan. With buildings deteriorating so quickly that it's reported you can hear concrete collapse when the wind blows, it could be the Trekker's most dangerous foray yet. Don't worry about wearing a hard hat though – you can now tour the island from the safety of your screen. [Read more…]

If all goes as planned, Taylor Scollon's LineSix pilot project will have about 100 taking a crowd-funded bus from Liberty Village to Union Station on Oct. 6 to 9
From the streetcar comes a computerized voice, which announces: '510 Spadina. To Queens Quay and Spadeena.' 'It's a computer glitch. ... We are working on it,' a TTC spokeman says
If approved, the system would go into place immediately across all 11 streetcar routes in the city, instead of being phased-in with the new streetcars through 2019, as first planned
Ford posed the question during a meeting in his office with Mr. Byford about the sale of four tunnel-boring machines. The two agreed to disagree on that issue
Peter Kuitenbrouwer: I have yet to hear any candidate for mayor say how they will improve streetcar service. Raise fares? Kick cars off King? Anything? Anybody?
A Chinese company has pulled an offer to purchase Toronto's four tunnel boring machines. Lovsuns Tunnelling Canada wrote to the TTC over the weekend indicating that it will not be proceeding with its bid.
There is simply no logical reason to run streetcars through a city such as Toronto, and as evidence, one need look no further than Vancouver
The four machines were used to burrow the Spadina subway extension. Staff considered refurbishing them to dig a Scarborough subway, but selling them is 'preferred'
What slows streetcars in Toronto? Automobiles. To get our streetcars moving we must enforce restrictions on vehicles on major streetcar routes during peak times
There are 11 lines on 82 km of track. Unfortunately, the average speed, 17 km/h, has not much improved since the first horse-drawn streetcar arrived in 1861

The final track for New God Flow, taken from Kanye West and his posse of G.O.O.D music proteges' new album Cruel Summer, has been posted online. The track finds Yeezy and Pusha T now joined by Wu-Tang's Ghostface Killah, adding his own flavour to the track, with curious lines such as 'deadly fumes when I enter room' and 'shine a light on my wallabies'.
With only a few days left until the official release of the album, it looks like it's coming together nicely. Another track Clique featuring Kanye's partner in crime Jay-Z along with Big Sean has also been released. Despite what you think of him, it shows that West can be a magician in the studio, and can really bring together a good track when he gets a good collaboration going.
Other guests to feature on the album include R. Kelly – who duets with West on the album's opener To the World, and John Legend – who appears on Bliss alongside Teyana Taylor.
