Research Goal
In the 21st century, we live in a world where data is abundant. We would like to take advantage of this opportunity to make more accurate and data-driven decisions in many areas of life such as industry, healthcare, business, and government. Even though many machine learning and data mining researchers have developed tools to benefit from big data, their methods so far have mostly been about the task of prediction.
My goal, however, is to use data to control, that is, taking actions in an uncertain world with a complex dynamics in order to achieve a goal such as maximizing the relief of a patient with a chronic disease, sustainable management of natural resources, or controlling a complex power grid.
Admittedly, we are not there yet. Theoretical foundations should be laid and tools must be developed. But I believe that data-driven decision making defines a new era in human civilization, and my research moves us toward that era. For more details about data-driven control and decision making and understanding my contributions, please refer to my Research Statement or take a look at my Publications. Also if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Judge throws out plea deal for former Manchester police sergeant
Judge Gillian Abramson said neither of the sentences offered by prosecutor Marc Hathaway nor defense attorney Mark Howard was appropriate. Hathaway had sought a year's sentence in the county jail for Coco without any chance of work release or home confinement; Howard wanted six months.
The March 22 accident hospitalized Noah Hickman, 17, and Dean Drukker, 18, who have since recovered from their physical injuries.
"I'm going to reflect on what has taken place, review it, think about it, consult with Mr. Drukker, Mr. Hickman and the victims' families and proceed after going through a deliberative process," Hathaway said after the hearing.
During Tuesday's hearing, Hathaway said a plea bargain called for Coco to spend at least six months but no more than a year in the local house of correction. A key part of the plea bargain locked in language that would have prohibited Coco from serving the sentence in home confinement, work release or community service.
The fathers of the two victims said they'd like to see Coco indicted.
"I'd like to see him charged with what the Bedford Police charged him with — conduct after an accident," Hickman said.
Drukker expressed frustration that Coco's union has taken his termination to arbitration. And Coco's automobile insurance company refused to pay his son's expenses and medical bills, claiming Coco should not have been driving the undercover Manchester police SUV at the time of the accident.
"I just think Mr. Coco is wiggling out of everything," Drukker said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Ś Giant coffee table books, iPod Shuffles, signed letters from directors, even ōLincolnö turkey roasting pans. ThatÆs just some of the largesse doled out by the studios to voters for awards presented earlier this season Ś each with the potential to influence the outcome of HollywoodÆs most important awards, Sunday nightÆs Oscars.
Such gifts are strictly forbidden by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. But for studios, the stakes are high, and theyÆve been creative in working around the rules to give their movies the best spotlight possible. A best picture win can boost a filmÆs commercial appeal and solidify relations with big-name actors and directors.
This year, top Oscar contenders ōArgoö from Warner Bros. and ōLincolnö from Disney pitted two deep-pocketed rivals against each other in what some say was an unprecedented level of Oscar campaigning. There was even some targeted sniping about the filmsÆ bending of historical facts.
Part of whatÆs behind the seemingly unrestrained lobbying is that this year, an unusually large number of best picture nominees are also doing well at the box office, giving the studios dry powder for their campaigns.
Six of the nine contenders for the top Oscar have reaped $100 million or more in ticket sales domestically, and collectively theyÆve earned $309 million since the nominations Jan. 10, according to Hollywood.com. This record-setting ōOscar bumpö dwarfs the $111 million the nine best picture nominees made between the nominations and the awards ceremony last year. It also trumps the season that 2009Æs megahit ōAvatarö was in the running, when 10 nominees brought in $204 million in bump.
That means thereÆs plenty of reason for studios to keep spending Ś even to the extent of papering the walls of the popular Beverly Hills restaurant Kate Mantilini with campaign posters, which conveniently tower over diners just a block from the motion picture academy itself.
ōI have never seen such an assault in terms of stuff being sent to us,ö said Pete Hammond, a member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association, which hosts the Critics Choice Awards, and a columnist for the Hollywood blog Deadline.com.
Hammond is one of several voters for the earlier awards where wins translate into momentum for Oscar hopefuls. They say their mailboxes were swamped with swag this year Ś all of it an attempt to reach the 5,800 academy members who vote on the Oscars, albeit through indirect means.
From the campaign of Steven SpielbergÆs ōLincoln,ö members of the broadcast critics group say they received no less than four coffee table books, an intricately framed DVD for review purposes and even a hand-signed letter from Spielberg himself, thanking them for recognizing the film with so many nominations. Some awards voters also received ōLincolnö turkey roasting pans, according to an industry insider who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
The broadcast critics also received an iPod Shuffle, which retails for $49, containing the soundtrack to Universal PicturesÆ ōLes Miserables,ö which is up for music and sound mixing awards.
Several voters said this level of giveaway was unusual, but then again, in recent times, well-funded major studios havenÆt been that involved.
In the last two years, the movie industryÆs top honor went to The Weinstein Co.Æs ōThe Artistö and ōThe KingÆs Speech.ö Previous to that, 2009Æs winner was ōThe Hurt Locker,ö whose backer Summit Entertainment was just starting to get its ōTwilightö mojo and was yet to be flush with cash.
Before that it was Fox SearchlightÆs ōSlumdog Millionaireö and before that ōNo Country for Old Menö by Paramount Vantage Ś both smaller arms of major studios that have smaller marketing budgets than their larger siblings.
This year, the majors are back in the game in a big way. In addition to WarnerÆs ōArgoö and DisneyÆs ōLincoln,ö Sony Pictures is behind ōZero Dark Thirty,ö 20th Century Fox is backing ōLife of Piö and Universal is the force behind ōLes Miserables.ö
While The Weinstein Co.Æs ōSilver Linings Playbookö is earning boffo business above $100 million in ticket sales following co-chairman Harvey WeinsteinÆs familiar script of making the most of awards season, it appears that this year, the majors have studied up.
ōNobody ever did it besides Harvey, and now everybodyÆs done it this year,ö said David Poland of MovieCityNews.com, which means more intense campaigning because thereÆs more money to spend.
One look at the release pattern of ōZero Dark Thirtyö and itÆs clear that Sony didnÆt want to repeat what happened to ōThe Hurt Locker,ö another Kathryn Bigelow-directed war film that despite its best picture win, made just $19 million in theaters worldwide. Part of the problem with ōHurtö was that it came out in June and was all but gone from theaters by the time the Oscar nominations rolled around.
Instead, ōZDTö showed in just a handful of theaters in December to qualify for the 2012 Oscars, but burst onto 3,000 theaters the day after the nominations in January, capturing the top spot at the box office that weekend.
ōWe designed our release campaign to take advantage of key dates in the awards season,ö said Sony Pictures spokesman Steve Elzer. ōWith approximately $90 million in box office to date, the film has been a huge critical and commercial success and no matter how we do at the Oscar ceremony on Sunday, we couldnÆt be more pleased with the filmÆs performance.ö
Starting small and then going wide after the nominations is the ōPlaybookö that The Weinstein Co. has followed for years, although company co-chairman Harvey Weinstein denies the pattern.
ōThere is no playbook, there is no campaigning,ö Weinstein said. ōI have always said the most important thing is to get people to see the films and everything else is mostly fluff.ö
Even films at the tail end of their box-office run are pumping up the volume. ōArgo,ö which came out in October, was heavily advertised by Warner Bros. ahead of the DVD release this Tuesday. The studio began selling digital downloads two weeks ahead of that. Fox followed a similar strategy for ōLife of Pi.ö
ōBecause these films are so strong, all the companies are buying (ads),ö said Michael Parker, co-president of Sony Pictures Classics, whose film ōAmourö is also up for best picture.
Critic Anne Thompson of Indiewire said this yearÆs extravagance is due to the fact that big studios have high hopes for their films. Amid her swag pile are ōWreck-It Ralphö plastic fists, a toy bow and arrow from ōBrave,ö and a printed page of the John Williams score from ōLincoln.ö
ōThe factors here are a) the studios involved and b) big hit movies that had extra money,ö she said. ōAnd the fact you have a close race between two big studio movies. They have reason to believe they have a chance to win.ö

It's getting pretty
It's getting pretty repetitive, but I hope they're listening?
Re: It's getting pretty
That's all Ron Paul can and should do at this point. Repetitive or not - we cannot move on to other smaller problems until this Federal Reserve goes down in flames.
Now you can imagine the dumb boys sitting across the Congressman when he's become so repetitive and they still don't get it.
that's the name of the game
right now...hammer, hammer, hammer, drip, drip, drip - Ron Paul is nothing if he's not persistent!

first time I've heard him say that on the House floor, but we're just getting started. END THE FED!!! needs to become a household word!!

My name is William Perkins Homans the third, but probably more people know me as the bluesman (and artist) Watermelon Slim.
I've been in the fight against war, fascism, injustice and inhumanity for 40 years. I was at MayDay, and at the moratorium March the week before. I was one of the leaders of the Great New Jersey Turnpike Stall on my birthday, April 25, 1971.
I bear the scar on my left shin from a neoNazi jackboot, when I was one of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War who bounced the NSWPP from Flamingo Park at the Republican National Convention of 1972. My father fought the Nazis in the North Atlantic and Anzio, and I met their spawn in Miami.
My formal education has been first-rate. I wouldn't trade my degrees for Harvard ones. I was raised in the finest private Catholic and Episcopal high schools.
Elementary School: Gibbons Hall, Asheville, North Carolina
High Schools: Asheville School for Boys, Asheville Country Day, Lenox School for Boys. Graduated with honors 1968.
College: Middlebury College, 1968-DNG
1984-86: University of Oregon, B.A., Journalism and History, Departmental Honors in History, 1986.
I was also captain of the U of O bowling team, 1984-1986. High game 299.
1997-2000: Oklahoma State University. M.A., History, 2000, plus the school-teaching curriculum. Mentor: Dr. Ronald Petrin.
This was my second great self-reinvention attempt. In both, I got the degrees, but neither worked. After both, I went back to truckdriving and the blues. and now the latter makes my living. I just am not a button-down enough fellow ever to be a schoolteacher or general-purpose news reporter. But I think and analyze, and so I write...

AP by polls not to be affected by UP results: Azad
Union Minister and in charge of the affairs of the congress party in AP Mr Ghulam Nabi Azad said today the results of the UP assembly elections would not throw up any adverse affect on the by-elections in AP.
Addressing media persons in Delhi after participating in a high level party meeting in which president Sonia Gandhi reviewed the election debacle, Azad asked the Telangana voters to elect congress candidates in the by elections.
Azad said the party has not taken any decision as yet on the selection of party candidates for the Rajya Sabha biennial elections from AP. Denying reports that the congress party has weakened in Andhra Pradesh, he observed the party never said that retiring Rajya Sabha member K. Keshava Rao would be nominated again to the house of elders.
"We have lost in U.P. as we don't have strong party set up there but that is no way connected to AP," he said, adding, congress candidates would win in the AP by polls. (J)

Score from 28 reviews Very good
It's in the centre of town, so easy to get away from in the morning. Glad I didn't stay more than one night Regretted it almost immediately I arrived
Nightmare to get to around the one-way system Shoved upstairs above a hairdresser's and bowling alley All fitting the cheapest possible. Rooms tiny Walls made of plywood - can hear everything from next door Breakfast the cheapest of ingredients Cheap bread, cheap coffee, cheap cornflakes
The location in the heart of Tukums is perfect. The staff was nice and helpful both in the reception and at the breakfast room. The Wifi was really good.
This hotel needs a serious fresh up. The carpet in the room was full of stains and the shower curtain didn´t hold the water inside the shower. There is alot of potential in this hotel, but this visit made me feel that the owner(s) has(-ve) zero interest. The hotel sign needs new lights.
Friendly staff and good welcome
Disco below until 3.30am on Saturday night
Location, responsive staff, parking ensured
Location very close to city center, quiet, friendly staff, free parking.
The price paid for the room without breakfast included is great.
spaceful room, perfect staff.
the stairs are difficult with a big luggage..Breakfast non included, too expansive for the quality, in the dark basement
From the entrance it doesn´t seem attractive but when your down there it is really cozy.
staff very friendly and helpful, two bottles of mineral water as a nice surprise
very small bathroom, carpet in bedroom wet after having a shower, breakfast in the basement was very poor and too expensive for the quality offered
We stayed for one night and it was OK. Nice girl on the reception met us.
Very noisy and very drunk Englishspeaking people siting and still drinking in front of the hotel. So we didn't use the restaurant of the hotel, because it was not so proper moment :) And nothing else was working in town for have some supper(we arrived late in the evening). We had to eat hotdogs on a gas station nearby. The breakfast in hotel is maybe OK (if you do the right choise :), but really expensive for the quality offered. And of course, no lift!
clean room, we ordered 3 bed - room, got 4 bed - room with no extra cost, all was clean and nice, no luxury, simple hotel for stay over. nice touch was drinking water for free in the room.
small towels.
small rooms, tiny bathroom
Bar and pool tables
No lift for elderly father
Taverna in the building of the hotel, large parking.
Realy tiny twin rooms, very thin walls. We had to change the room because of the crack in the window (it was very cold in the room), but in the new one there was an awful smell (may be it was the carpet).
Good destination, helpful staff, good restaurant.
Poor breakfast
Two of the receptionists spoke perfect English and made us very welcome. The hotel is centrally located and offers small comfortable rooms at a budget price.
As other reviewers have noted, the stained carpets were a shock in an otherwise comfortable and clean hotel.

Doesn't everyone baffle you with all the benefits they offer?
Well, here it is on one page so you can decide for yourself.
For many people, Microsoft Excel is the technology upon which they rely on a daily basis, covering a multitude of workplace applications.
With Activia, delegates can check their skill level which ensures they book on the correct course. This facility is also invaluable when putting together training programmes or bespoke courses for numbers of delegates.
We can also tailor your Microsoft Excel training to your needs, or to your company project requirements, taking you from first principles to whatever level you want to achieve.
About Microsoft Excel
Excel is a spreadsheet application that can also be described as a two-dimensional database (in other words it's not relational like Access). On a basic level it can be used to store and present data; but more advanced users will be able to take advantage of its formulae function, allowing them to manipulate data according to their requirements. Information entered in Excel can also be demonstrated graphically in a variety of graph formats.
Our Approach
Interaction is vital if delegates are to achieve their training aims – which is why we make it our main focus. Attendees can also take home a copy of their course materials for future reference.
History Of Microsoft Excel
Previous versions of Excel had all used macros (pre-written code that makes it easier to perform repetitive tasks). Up until the fourth release, Microsoft utilised XML language to perform tasks. Thereafter, from version 5.0 onwards, Excel used VBA for macros (although users could still revert back to XML if they wanted to).
Excel 2000
This updated release of Excel boasted many new features. For example, users could drag and drop information from a web source directly into their spreadsheet. This was due to the introduction of Enhanced Web Queries, a feature that made it easier to import data in to Excel for analysis and tracking. It also offered a range of different date functions and allowed users to save – and read from – HTML files.
Excel 2003
With the main changes benefiting business users, Excel 2003 was different in two ways:
It permitted information to be saved and updated in XML format. This made Excel instantly compatible with other programs, allowing data to be imported from other sources.Highly specialised, and created for specialist corporate users, IRM tools provided security features to help protect data. This could be achieved by downloading a free software patch.
Excel 2007
Excel's workbooks were significantly improved in the 2007 update. This meant the programme could store more data (up to 16,000 columns and up to a million rows). The ribbon interface made radical changes to navigation, and was not well received by a large number of users. Constructing tables around data became easier too, due to a wider array of headings and row types.
Excel 2010
At first glance it seemed like nothing had changed in the 2010 version of Excel, and in fact, the differences were very subtle. Improvements were made to the ribbon, which could be fully customised. Security protocols were also overhauled, thanks to the introduction of Protected View, which prevented harmful content from being downloaded.
Excel 2013
Anyone relying on templates to use Excel will find the 2013 update ideal for their needs. This release comes armed with a veritable range of them, each designed for a specific purpose: forecasting, budgeting, calendars and much more. The new Quick Analysis feature converts data in to tables in two simple steps – plus, workbooks open in different windows, which is ideal for anyone using more than one monitor.

Editor's Note: On Monday The Independent published an article titled "Britain has only 100 harvests left in its farm soil as scientists warn of growing 'agricultural crisis'". We are all too aware of why Britain's (and other nations') soils are becoming so depleted (if not, please see here and here, for example), and with the Western world standing on the precipice in regards to its food supply, it is insane for us to repeat the same mistakes on healthy soils elsewhere. And yet, that is exactly what we're doing — financed by 'investments' and 'offset mechanisms' that empower the rich to extract and destroy ever more efficiently, behind the veil of distance. The colour-by-numbers kind of agriculture that has depleted soils and health in the North, is being aggressively, forcefully and rapidly applied to precious living soils in Africa, and elsewhere — and in too many cases also turning the poor residents of those lands into serfs at the same time. The sensible — and humane — thing to do, is to make a rapid transition to the kind of agriculture we continually write about…. Grow your own food people, and support your local growers, and you will not be contributing to this inhumane, biologically impossible madness.
Plight of Kenya's indigenous Sengwer shows carbon offsets are empowering corporate recolonisation of the South.
