Challenges facing predictive APIs
Solutions to a number of problems must be found to unlock PAPI value.
In November, the first International Conference on Predictive APIs and Apps will take place in Barcelona, just ahead of Strata Barcelona. This event will bring together those who are building intelligent web services (sometimes called Machine Learning as a Service) with those who would like to use these services to build predictive apps, which, as defined by Forrester, deliver "the right functionality and content at the right time, for the right person, by continuously learning about them and predicting what they'll need."
This is a very exciting area. Machine learning of various sorts is revolutionizing many areas of business, and predictive services like the ones at the center of predictive APIs (PAPIs) have the potential to bring these capabilities to an even wider range of applications. I co-founded one of the first companies in this space (acquired by Salesforce in 2012), and I remain optimistic about the future of these efforts. But the field as a whole faces a number of challenges, for which the answers are neither easy nor obvious, that must be addressed before this value can be unlocked.
In the remainder of this post, I'll enumerate what I see as the most pressing issues. I hope that the speakers and attendees at PAPIs will keep these in mind as they map out the road ahead. Read more…

Continuous Testing, Programmable Bees, Deep Learning on GPUs, and Silk Road Numbers
- Continuously Testing Infrastructure — "infrastructure as code". I can't figure out whether what I feel are thrills or chills.
- Engineer Sees Big Possibilities in Micro-robots, Including Programmable Bees (National Geographic) — He and fellow researchers devised novel techniques to fabricate, assemble, and manufacture the miniature machines, each with a housefly-size thorax, three-centimeter (1.2-inch) wingspan, and weight of just 80 milligrams (.0028 ounces). The latest prototype rises on a thread-thin tether, flaps its wings 120 times a second, hovers, and flies along preprogrammed paths. (via BoingBoing)
- cuDNN — NVIDIA's library of primitives for deep neural networks (on GPUS, natch). Not open source (registerware).

While the number is small, if we sum up all the product reviews x product prices, we get a huge number of USD $20,668,330.05. REMEMBER! This is on Silk Road 2.0 with a very small subset of their entire inventory. A peek into a largely invisible economy.

Weird Machines, Libraries May Scan, Causal Effects, and Crappy Dashboards
- The Care and Feeding of Weird Machines Found in Executable Metadata (YouTube) — talk from 29th Chaos Communication Congress, on using tricking the ELF linker/loader into arbitrary computation from the metadata supplied. Yes, there's a brainfuck compiler that turns code into metadata which is then, through a supernatural mix of pixies, steam engines, and binary, executed. This will make your brain leak. Weird machines are everywhere.
- European Libraries May Digitise Books Without Permission — "The right of libraries to communicate, by dedicated terminals, the works they hold in their collections would risk being rendered largely meaningless, or indeed ineffective, if they did not have an ancillary right to digitize the works in question," the court said. Even if the rights holder offers a library the possibility of licensing his works on appropriate terms, the library can use the exception to publish works on electronic terminals, the court ruled. "Otherwise, the library could not realize its core mission or promote the public interest in promoting research and private study," it said.
- CausalImpact (GitHub) — Google's R package for estimating the causal effect of a designed intervention on a time series. (via Google Open Source Blog)
- Laws of Crappy Dashboards — (caution, NSFW language … "crappy" is my paraphrase) so true. Not talking to users will result in a [crappy] dashboard. You don't know if the dashboard is going to be useful. But you don't talk to the users to figure it out. Or you just show it to them for a minute (with someone else's data), never giving them a chance to figure out what the hell they could do with it if you gave it to them.

The team issued a release Saturday saying Schaub won't play but it's not injury related.

Analysis: Schaub's status for Thursday night's exhibition finale against Seattle remains up in the air but he and coach Dennis Allen say they are confident he will be healthy enough to start the season opener Sept. 7 against the New York Jets.

Analysis: Schaub was Houston's starter from 2007 until last season, when he was benched in favor of Case Keenum after a terrible start to the year. Oakland has been in the market for a quarterback this season, and this trade likely means the team will look to deal Terrelle Pryor.

|Texas A&M coach Franchione dodges questions about his future and reports of possible buyout
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 06 November 2007 11:36
``I am not going to get into the rumor game with you guys,'' Franchione said during his weekly news conference. ``There are no facts to that and I'm not into it. I'm sorry that you guys have to deal with it.''
Several media outlets reported Monday the school was to get rid of Franchione after five years as coach. Franchione's contract pays him $2 million per year and runs through 2012.
The Aggies play at Missouri on Saturday and Franchione refused to talk about anything but that game.
``I know you have your work to do and your questions to ask, but I'm a non-participant in this,'' Franchione said.
M's coach next season.
``You want to talk about Missouri, you want to talk about the games, I'm willing to sit here with you,'' he said. ``You guys go ahead and speculate on all the other things. That is not my concern at this point in time.''
M is 2-12 against Texas, Texas Tech and Oklahoma.
The criticism intensified a month ago, when Franchione was caught giving inside information to boosters who paid $1,200 to get it. The e-mailed newsletters, dubbed ``The VIP Connection,'' contained news about players' injuries, their academic standing and Franchione's blunt assessments of their skills.
Athletics director Bill Byrne was not aware of the e-mails and Franchione apparently violated his contract by not reporting the income the newsletters generated.
Byrne admonished Franchione for the newsletter and ordered him to shut down his personal Web site. The school launched an internal investigation and sent the findings to the NCAA, acknowledging some secondary violations. Byrne said last month he would consider the e-mail scandal when he evaluated Franchione at the end of the season.
Amid Monday's reports about Franchione's status, the school released a statement that said Byrne planned to wait until the season ended before evaluating Franchione. The statement said there were ``false rumors'' circulating about the program.
The Aggies didn't practice Monday, but the players spent the day wondering about Franchione, too. None of them heard from the coach but assumed the reports weren't true.
``We would've been the first to know,'' senior guard Kirk Elder said Tuesday. ``There would've been some kind of notification to the players.''
Tight end Martellus Bennett wasn't surprised by the reports.
``We all knew what was ahead anyway,'' Bennett said. ``Anybody could see it.
``Everything that's been going on, the position Coach has been in and all the attention that's been brought to it, it's a business. It's like if you're at work and all your co-workers come around and tell you, 'Hey man, the boss is not happy with you. You get your pink slip. You better watch out.'
``It's like, you can kind of see what's happening, but you really don't know.''
Speculation has swirled around Franchione's future since the Aggies' 34-17 loss to Miami on Sept. 20. The news of the per-pay e-mails broke a week later and the players have faced weekly questions about him since.
A few days after the e-mails became public, the Aggies filled an auditorium and applauded Franchione as he stepped to a podium. They were still supporting him Tuesday.
``He's our coach and he's our man and we're going to fight our tail off for him,'' said junior quarterback Stephen McGee. ``I love Coach to death and none of that is ever going to change.''
The Aggies admit the uncertainty has become a distraction that's been impossible to ignore.
``Coming out of that Miami game, that's when it started,'' said senior defensive end Chris Harrington. ``That's no time to start talking about coaching changes, and I'm really disappointed at whoever was saying those things.''
Harrington said there's not much point worrying about Franchione's future.
``What does it matter what we think or thinking about it or worrying about it?'' he said. ``It doesn't. You just try to get away in your head and focus on what you can deal with, what you can control and handle.''

Southern rapper Rick Ross has finally addressed his first-week sales of Teflon Don after the project came out earlier this summer and was his first not to debut atop its competition.
Calling his fourth solo project the "biggest" album of 2010, Ross said he could never be satisfied with whatever numbers his LP's do.
"I've been promoting Teflon Don, we been on the road, it's the biggest album of the year," Ross told radio host DJ Envy. "You need to go get it. At the end of the day, it's all about winning and we most definitely won. Just as a competitor and as an artist, I would never be satisfied with whatever the numbers would be. And that's what I love about myself and what I love about the game of hip-hop." (MTV)
Debuting at No. 2 with 176,700 albums sold in its first-week last month, Teflon Don has continued to sell units.
Southern rapper Rick Ross' Teflon Don took a two-slot loss to No. 7 with 29,500. After a month in stores, the Boss' new LP has shelled out 308,400 units to date. (SOHH Sales Wrap)
Def Jam Senior Marketing VP Chris Atlas recently said the label fully backed Ross' new album.
"We took the fact that he had so many people working with him on the record and captured it on film and video, which we are releasing around the Web," Atlas says. "Rick has been working nonstop since the last record feeding stuff to his lifestyle and street base. He's put out three or four mixtapes, and there is constant messaging to his core." Atlas says Ross is on a 10-city promotional tour and making club and radio station appearances. Atlas adds that Ross is starting to work with brands, due in part to his recent co-management deal with Sean "Diddy" Combs. "We're opening him up to working with brands," Atlas says. "He did some smaller stuff before, and he's been doing some things with Ciroc [a vodka brand Combs endorses]. But now he's starting to attract attention from some bigger names.

A combined cycle electric power generating plant having a steam generator and a gas turbine in which low Btu gas from a coal gasifier is the fuel. The gas turbine drives the compressors for both the air and low Btu gas used to generate the hot combustion gases therein. In addition, the oxygen-containing exhaust gases from the gas turbine are used to support combustion of the fuel in the steam generator.
1. An electric power generating plant comprising a coal gasification complex for producing a gaseous fuel, a gas cleanup complex downstream of the coal gasification complex, a first heat exchanger between the coal gasification complex and the gas cleanup complex for removing heat from the gaseous fuel, and a second heat exchanger located downstream of the gas cleanup complex for restoring the removed heat back to the gaseous fuel, a first steam generator fired by said gaseous fuel, a steam turbine receiving steam from said first steam generator, a first electric power generator connected to and driven by said steam turbine, a gas turbine fired by said gaseous fuel, said gas turbine comprising an air compressor, a gas compressor, a combustion chamber, and a turbine section, with both the air and gas compressors being driven by the gas turbine, a second electric power generator connected to and driven by said gas turbine, means for introducing the hot, oxygen-rich exhaust gases from the gas turbine to the first steam generator, a second steam generator associated with the coal gasification complex, means for transporting steam from the coal gasification complex to the steam turbine, an air preheater where air is heated by the combustion exhaust gases of the first steam generator and means for transporting heated air from the air preheater to both the first steam generator and the coal gasification complex.
Gas turbines have been used in electric power generating plants, in combination with conventional steam power plants. One such arrangement is shown in my U.S. Pat. No. 3,849,662, entitled "Combined Steam and Gas Turbine Power Plant Having Gasified Coal Fuel Supply", which issued on Nov. 19, 1974. In that arrangement, the steam generator is fired continuously with low Btu gas, such as from a coal gasifier, to generate electricity at a constant rate. Excess gas from the coal gasifier is compressed and stored in a storage tank, and during peak periods of electrical demand, it is combusted and used to drive a gas turbine to generate the peak electricity required. With a large storage tank necessary, and also with the gas turbine only being used intermittently, it is a somewhat inefficient power plant with large capital cost. The overall efficiency of a gas turbine is on the order of 75 percent when the residual heat in the exhaust gases is used, while the overall efficiency of a steam generator-turbine is 35-40 percent.
In accordance with the invention a combined cycle electric power generating plant is provided having a steam generator and a gas turbine in which low Btu gas from a coal gasifier is the fuel. The gas turbine drives the compressors for both the air and low Btu gas used to generate the hot combustion gases therefore. In this manner, one or the other of the two electric generators can be taken off the line, while the other one continues to produce electricity. Also, the oxygen-rich exhaust gases from the gas turbine are used to support combustion of the fuel in the steam generator. The gas turbine driven electrical generator is designed to produce at least 20 percent of the overall electrical power, and this, in combination with the recovery of the residual heat from the gas turbine exhaust gases by using it to support combustion of the fuel in the steam generator, provides an efficient overall electrical power plant.
The drawing is a schematic of a combined gas turbine, steam generator, electrical power generating plant constructed in accordance with the invention.
Referring to the drawing, numeral 10 designates a coal gasifier for producing a low Btu gaseous fuel. This gasifier is an entrainment type gasifier in which pulverized coal, air and steam are reacted, in suspension, at a high temperature to form a fuel gas containing primarily carbon monoxide and hydrogen, having a Btu value of 100-125 Btu/Cu. Ft. The gasifier of course may be one of the other well known types such as a fixed bed or fluidized gasifier. The gas produced in the gasifier, after being cleaned of particulate matter, is passed to a desulfurization complex 12 where sulfur compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide, are removed by means of any several well-known processes such as solvent absorption, or a dry absorption process. Prior to passing through the desulfurization process 12, the gas is passed through a heat exchanger 13, where water absorbs heat therefrom. This heat is put back into the gases in heat exchanger 19. The water is pressurized and circulated in a closed loop between the two heat exchangers by means of pump 21. This is done to save the heat in the gases, since they are greatly reduced in temperature during the cleanup process accomplished in complex 12.
The gas exiting from the desulfurization complex 12 and heat exchanger 19 passes via a conduit 14 to the valve 15, which sends a proportional amount, such as 75 percent to the conduit 16, and the other 25 percent to the conduit 17. The gas in conduit 16 flows to a steam generator 18 where it is fired to produce heat and thereby generate steam in the boiler. Steam from the steam generator 18 combines with steam generated in the coal gasifier 10 and is directed through a conduit 20 to a steam turbine 22 to drive the turbine, which in turn drives the electrical generator 24, thereby producing electricity.
The fuel in conduit 17 flows to a gas compressor 26 driven by a gas turbine 28. Heat is removed from these gases in an auxiliary water heat exchanger 27. Since it takes more energy to compress hot gases, it is desirable to remove the heat from the gases in line 17. The turbine 28 also drives an air compressor 30. The compressed gas and air are introduced to a combustion chamber 32, with the resultant hot combustion gases flowing therefom via conduit 34 to the gas turbine 28. This turbine in turn drives an electrical generator 36 to produce electricity. Since gas turbines are limited as to the temperature they can withstand (1800� F. presently being about maximum) excess air is introduced into the combustion chamber 32, to keep the temperature of the combustion gases near this level. The high mass of the low Btu gas reduces the excess air requirement to maintain the same volume and gas turbine entering temperature required for the same output that would be obtained with a richer gas, such as natural gas. The oxygen-rich gases leaving the gas turbine 28 then are passed through the steam generator through duct 38 to support combustion therein. In this manner, the residual heat in these gases is recovered in the steam generator.
The exhaust gases leaving the steam generator 18 pass through an air preheater 50 before being discharged to the atmosphere. The heated air is passed to the coal gasifier through 52. Also, if more air is needed in the steam generator 18 to support combustion therein, it is supplied via duct 40.
From the above, it can be seen that a low cost, highly efficient power plant is provided. Because both the steam generator and the gas turbine arrangement are self-sufficient, either one or the other can be shut down for maintenance while the other continues to operate, if necessary. The coal gasifier is then operated at less than full load capacity. If the gas turbine is shut down, naturally, all of the combustion air is supplied through duct 40.

Round five of the Aviva Premiership comes to a close on Sunday afternoon as Exeter Chiefs travel to Kingsholm to face Gloucester.
Gloucester return home looking to record back-to-back wins for the first time this season after their 22-16 triumph over Newcastle last week; while the Chiefs seek to regain form having suffered a 21-9 defeat at the hands of defending champions Leicester Tigers.
Both sides have won two and lost two of their opening four top-flight clashes but the Chiefs boast an impressive record on the road, with just one defeat in their last five trips away from Sandy Park.
Rob Baxter's Chiefs have the upper hand in recent meetings having won two of the three encounters last term, including a thrilling 40-39 victory at Sandy Park in May.
Ahead of Sunday's showdown, Gloucester Director of Rugby Nigel Davies has made six changes to the side which prevailed at Kingston Park last time out.
Second row James Hudson is set to make his debut in the Cherry and White, while props Yann Thomas and Rupert Harden are both promoted from the bench this week.
Veteran centre Mike Tindall comes in to replace the injured Henry Trinder and Tavis Knoyle gets the nod at No 9 as Davies continues to rotate his scrum-halves. The final change to the backline sees Martyn Thomas don the No 15 jersey for the first time this season.
Meanwhile, Chiefs scrum-half Dave Lewis lines up against his former club as one of four changes to the Exeter side which lost in round four.
The 24-year-old, who spent six years at Kingsholm before his switch to Exeter, comes in to replace Haydn Thomas in the half-backs.
Other changes see Chris Whitehead and Ben White come into the pack at the expense of Jack Yeandle and James Scaysbrook, whilst the inclusion of Matt Jess on the right wing means Ian Whitten moves to partner Sam Hill in the centres.
Both sides will be desperate for the win before their attention turns to the continent as they embark upon their respective Heineken Cup campaigns next weekend.
Gloucester: 15 Martyn Thomas, 14 Charlie Sharples, 13 Mike Tindall, 12 Billy Twelvetrees, 11 James Simpson-Daniel, 10 Freddie Burns, 9 Tavis Knoyle, 8 Ben Morgan, 7 Matt Kvesic, 6 Sione Kalamafoni, 5 James Hudson, 4 Tom Savage (capt), 3 Rupert Harden, 2 Darren Dawidiuk, 1 Yann Thomas.
Replacements: 16 Huia Edmonds, 17 Dan Murphy, 18 Shaun Knight, 19 Elliott Stooke, 20 Gareth Evans, 21 Dan Robson, 22 Jonny May, 23 Akapusi Qera.
Exeter: 15 Phil Dollman, 14 Matt Jess, 13 Ian Whitten, 12 Sam Hill, 11 Tom James, 10 Gareth Steenson, 9 Dave Lewis, 8 Dave Ewers, 7 Ben White, 6 Tom Johnson, 5 Damian Welch, 4 Dean Mumm, 3 Hoani Tui (capt), 2 Chris Whitehead, 1 Brett Sturgess.
Replacements: 16 Jack Yeandle, 17 Ben Moon, 18 Carl Rimmer, 19 Don Armand, 20 Kai Horstmann, 21 Haydn Thomas, 22 Henry Slade, 23 Fetu'u Vainikolo.

The death of Deep Ellum is now more of a simple catchphrase than an actual event, nothing more than a selling point for folks reopening closed venues and then climbing on the cross as the resuscitator of the old girl. How many times will people say "Deep Ellum is dead"? A Google Web search of "death of Deep Ellum" offered 49,300 different ways people are saying it. (And yes, that was with the quotation marks to narrow the search.) Change the word "death" to "life" and a mere 102 links come up. It appears to be much easier to complain about the situation than work toward a solution, whatever that may be.
Whatever is going to revitalize Deep Ellum begs the question "What is Deep Ellum?" At least that's how 30-year-old Tony Fundaro sees it. Fundaro is a founder and executive director of the ambitious $3 million cultural center Life in Deep Ellum, set to open Saturday, January 20. He is also the lead pastor of Deep Ellum Church, which is housed in the Life complex, but Fundaro is quick to point out that the nonprofit Life is a cultural center first with the concept of impacting the social and economic community. When Fundaro approached the city about opening the center, the Deep Ellum Residents Council caught wind and petitioned to have the Deep Ellum Church reside there with its congregation of some 150 to 200 people. Council co-director and founder Gianna Madrini saw it as an opportunity. "People don't realize how much of a neighborhood Deep Ellum is," she says. "They are attracting a really unique demographic because they are a nondenominational church. It has a broad cross of people. They don't look like Bible thumpers in any sort of way."
However, Life in Deep Ellum wants to avoid the religious identification that may scare people away. With a decidedly non-religious environment, artistic director Rocky Presley states, "The idea of Christian culture is our opponent."
Russell Hobbs, owner of the Deep Ellum nightclub The Door, says that type of approach won't last long. "People will just know that's what it is." However, he's not at all against the concept. His venue is also faith-based with both national and local bands, Christian and non-Christian, playing each weekend. He considers the similar spot good competition with the same goal in mind. "God wants to show that he is part of everyday life," the born-again Christian says. "Deep Ellum has no vision or leadership. Tony is part of the goal, the potential future."
While Presley has high hopes for the future of both Life and the neighborhood, he also has lofty sights in his role as artistic director. "We'd like to be icons of Deep Ellum. A foundation for people's success and a place to put a national spotlight on artists," he says. Bands may be attracted to the venue considering Fundaro and Presley "spent the money for bands to look and sound great" and are intent on "treating bands like they were gold and helping to combat the reputation that Deep Ellum is not a place where bands are treated properly." With a venue that can accommodate up to 1,100 people—standing, that is—ellum:ONSTAGE (as Life's music venue will be called) is immediately in the big leagues with The Door, Gypsy Tea Room and the recently closed/possibly to be reopened Trees. Neither Presley nor Fundaro are concerned about not being located on the main drag of Main, Commerce and Elm streets. What ellum:ONSTAGE does have going for it is its own parking lot and Taylor Street's lack of parking meters, at least for now.
Back to the question of "what is Deep Ellum?" Hobbs described it as "a free party in the '80s before people tried to come in and make a buck," meaning that commerce, instead of the people, began to run the place. And for a more profound take on it, he says "Deep Ellum is Dallas' roots. Dallas doesn't honor their roots." Fundaro and company take it down a notch to the simple idea of community, and these guys are in love with the concept. "We care for this community. We want to be where the community is. The urban family is thriving, not surviving," Fundaro says with all the conviction of a long-term resident, albeit he and his family are not living there now but plan to return. He also sees Life in Deep Ellum as a bridge, minus the Calatrava hoopla. "With extremes popping up all over Dallas, everyone is disconnected. We want to bridge that," Fundaro adds.
With that commitment to community, the center is poised to be the iPhone of Deep Ellum, with impressive multi-tasking capabilities in one spot. Life in Deep Ellum offers a program called Life Development, which Presley says is meant to provide community education such as after-school programs, rehabilitation and ESL classes. Add to that an art gallery with five local artists already booked along with a national artist. Want more? They will have day care available for a fee and an in-house recording and film studio that can be rented out. The list keeps going with a resale clothing store where everything is $10, cash-only and based on the honor system. Other than someone restocking items, the store will not be manned but only house a receptacle for the money. Madrini adds, "I'd love to see that work." They will also house the M?kah Coffee Bar, open during the week and all show times, with wi-fi of course. These economic initiatives will help to make Life a self-funding entity. "We are a nonprofit, but we didn't want to have a fund-raiser each time we needed money," Presley says.

The Evolutionary Logic of Knowledge Transfer
Expanding access to education and research tools, Ramez Naam says, "is accelerating this process of the Darwinian evolution of ideas."
We live in a time of information abundance, which far too many of us see as information overload. With the sum total of human knowledge, past and present, at our fingertips, we're faced with a crisis of attention: which ideas should we engage with, and why? Big Think is an evolving roadmap to the best thinking on the planet — the ideas that can help you think flexibly and act decisively in a multivariate world.
A word about Big Ideas and Themes — The architecture of Big Think
Big ideas are lenses for envisioning the future. Every article and video on bigthink.com and on our learning platforms is based on an emerging "big idea" that is significant, widely relevant, and actionable. We're sifting the noise for the questions and insights that have the power to change all of our lives, for decades to come. For example, reverse-engineering is a big idea in that the concept is increasingly useful across multiple disciplines, from education to nanotechnology.
Themes are the seven broad umbrellas under which we organize the hundreds of big ideas that populate Big Think. They include New World Order, Earth and Beyond, 21st Century Living, Going Mental, Extreme Biology, Power and Influence, and Inventing the Future.
Browse videos featuring experts across a wide range of disciplines, from personal health to business leadership to neuroscience.
Big Think's contributors offer expert analysis of the big ideas behind the news.
Big Think's Edge learning platform for career mentorship and professional development provides engaging and actionable courses delivered by the people who are shaping our future.

Garruk, Primal Hunter is way too Green-intensive to splash. You'll never get 3 Green sources reliably. Garruk Relentless Flip would be much better here.
yeah im trying to get all of thos lands ive been testing and that is the best i can do with the duals i have i just figgured the gates were better than basics.
thanks for the advice i have been thinking about taking out Garruk, Primal Hunter for a Garruk Relentless Flip im going to trade for one and swap when i can
Seems really good. All I would probably do would be take out the Ajani for one for Sorin

Militants attack Pakistan jail, free nearly 400: police
BANNU, Pakistan
BANNU, Pakistan (Reuters) - Dozens of Islamist militants stormed a prison in northwest Pakistan early on Sunday and freed nearly 400 inmates, including one on death row for trying to assassinate former president Pervez Musharraf, police officials said.
Pakistan's Taliban movement, which is close to al Qaeda, said it was behind the brazen assault by militants armed with rocket-propelled grenades and AK-47 assault rifles.
A police official said most of those who escaped from the jail in the northwestern town of Bannu were militants.
"I don't remember the exact time, but it must have been way past midnight. There were huge explosions. Plaster from the ceilings fell on us," said prisoner Malik Nazeef, speaking by mobile phone to Reuters from the jail in Bannu.
"Then there was gunfire. We didn't know what was happening."
While the Taliban in neighbouring Afghanistan have staged several jail breaks, such attacks are rare in nuclear-armed Pakistan, a strategic U.S. ally and one of the most unstable countries in the world.
"We have freed hundreds of our comrades in Bannu in this attack. Several of our people have reached their destinations, others are on their way," a Taliban spokesman said.
The claim could not be verified immediately.
The attackers fired rocket-propelled grenades at the black, metal gates of the prison, blowing them open. Debris was strewn on the ground inside, including locks that had been shot off doors. Walls were pockmarked with bullet holes.
An assault on this scale will likely generate fresh questions over Pakistan's progress in fighting militancy since it joined the 'war on terror' the United States launched after the September 11, 2001 attacks on U.S. targets.
Such questions were also asked after U.S. special forces found Osama bin Laden in May last year in a Pakistani town where he had apparently been living for years, and killed him in a secret raid.
Pakistani officials describe bin Laden's long presence in Abbottabad as a security lapse and reject suggestions that members of the military and intelligence service were complicit in hiding him there.
Sunday's prison break could be a psychological blow to security forces following repeated government assertions that security crackdowns have weakened militant groups.
Pakistan is seen as critical to U.S. efforts to stabilise Afghanistan, yet Pakistan faces its own daunting security problems.
The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), or Taliban Movement of Pakistan, is seen as the biggest threat, staging suicide bombings and attacks on military compounds.
In the unruly ethnic Pashtun tribal areas near the Afghan border, the Taliban control large pockets where they use floggings and beheadings to impose their version of Islamic law.
The Pakistani Taliban have close links with the Afghan Taliban. They move back and forth across the unmarked border, exchange intelligence and shelter each other in a region U.S. President Barack Obama has described as "the most dangerous place in the world".
A loose alliance of a dozen groups, the TTP began its battle against the state in 2007, after a bloody army raid on Islamabad's Red Mosque, which was controlled by its allies.
The assault, ordered by Musharraf, was widely seen as the event that sparked a full-blown Islamist militant campaign to toppled the government.
A police official identified one of the inmates who escaped early on Sunday as Adnan Rasheed, a "dangerous prisoner" who took part in one of the attempts to kill Musharraf.
"He was a mastermind in (one of the attacks) on Musharraf. These people came for him and took another 383 people too," the official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Prisoner Nazeef described how tall, bearded men with AK-47 rifles yelled "God is Greatest", fired their weapons at the prison's ceilings, and asked inmates where Rasheed was held.
"One of them had a large hammer and tried to break the lock of our cell. It didn't work so they shot the lock off with their guns. They had wireless sets and were talking to each other. One of them then said that they had found Adnan Rasheed," he said.
"The entire activity in our block lasted almost an hour. I saw only 15 to 20 men but from the sound and gunfire, I could tell there were many more. None of them were wearing masks."
The attackers had long hair and were speaking Arabic as well as local languages, he said.
Paramilitary troops and security forces later sealed off the Bannu Central Jail, and a police official said that 384 prisoners had escaped, out of a total 944 prisoners there.
A Taliban commander said 150 of the prisoners fled to North Waziristan, near the Afghan border, home to some of the world's most feared militant groups.
"We rejoiced at their return with lots of celebratory firing and presented them with our honourable turbans," he told Reuters.

Smokey Turnip and Parsnip Gratin
I decided I wanted to try out some new Thanksgiving side dishes, it's always fun to mix new tastes with old favorites.
Turnips and parsnips are not a taste I grew up with. It kind of surprises me as I was exposed to all kinds of different foods, heavy with Eastern European influence (not that the turnip or parsnip originated from that part of the world). However, root vegetables were a staple in my childhood household, but I don't remember turnips and parsnips being part of the repertoire.
Fast forward into adult life, my husband introduced me to what is now one of my favorite tastes, parsnips. Have you ever had parsnips mashed up like potatoes with butter and garlic? Or added them to soup? They are mild and sweet, and were used as a sweetener before the arrival in Europe of cane sugar. They mimic the taste of a roasted carrot, but with more complexity. I also add them to stews for a layer of unsuspected flavor.
For me, eating turnips was just a natural progression from parsnips. They are however very different in flavor from other root vegetables, more like a peppery radish with a bitter edge. Very distinct in taste but amazing when roasted, which brings on a milder flavor.
Valley Onion Soup
I haven't been to Paris in a while, but I've been to the next best place: Encino.
There are two reasons why I go to Encino, a small city (or enclave or district or borough or cluster or whatever it is) in the San Fernando Valley, north of where I live. One is that I have a superior dentist there. The other is that I know a fabulous cook who lives there, and I like to take advantage of every opportunity to eat at her house.
Last time I dropped by ("Oh, is it dinner time? Who knew? What's cookin'?") Suzanne offered me a sample of her French onion soup. While my memory is admittedly badly impaired, I don't recall eating a better version of it, ever.
For those of you who do not want to go to Encino because you are too busy visiting more glamorous places like, say, Cleveland, I have managed to procure the recipe for Suzanne's soup. If you know what's good for you, you will make it.
Sweet Onions Bring Tears of Joy
I confess, I couldn't live without onions - maybe if I was marooned on an uninhabited tropical island and there was literally 'nothing' to slow cook or even firewood [I suppose] I would have to adapt. No other vegetable makes me happier then local onions - it is my favorite. All the different varieties have separate flavors and I love to do different thing with each variety from Ailsa Craig to Walla Wallas.
The first onion of the season is always baked whole with a knob of butter, a few tablespoons of maple syrup and wrapped in foil or parchment paper. I slow bake the onion parcel at 325 degrees F for at least and hour and a half-you will know when it is done when the aroma makes its way all the way to the other side of your house. How is that for precise recipe writing?
After I've eaten my first baked onion of the season with a spoon I can relax and get a bit more creative. Did I mention I encourage my onion farmers to leave the green tops on? They think I'm a little daft to pay for the extra weight only because they have never baked one of their onions split in two, covered with a touch of stock and baked in a covered dish until it is tender and very little liquid is left. I pour a little heavy cream over the top along with its distant cousin, chopped chives and reduce the cream until thick-ish. Any variety of onion works - red onions will tint the cream a delicate rose color.
Easy Roasted Lemon Garlic Broccoli
Roasting broccoli is probably my favorite method – it's quick and easy to prepare. High heat roasting enhances the natural sweet and nutty flavor while creating a beautiful brown, caramelized exterior. People seem to either love or hate broccoli, which is a shame because few other vegetables are as naturally abundant in indole-3-carbinol, a powerful antioxidant.
President George H.W. Bush apparently disliked it so much that he never, ever, wanted to see a sprig of broccoli on his plate. According to reports he proclaimed, "I'm President of the United States, and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli!"
It seems things have changed a bit at the White House, and broccoli is back on the menu. Last year at a Kids' State Dinner, President Obama told a kid reporter that broccoli is his favorite food. He may have been exaggerating a tad, but give this recipe a try, it might just change your mind about broccoli.
Fish Chowder
I can't think of anything more American than chowder. This seafood soup is synonymous with chilly days and large family gatherings. Even though we're almost into spring, the weather has continued to be cold and dreary here in the Northeast. I've been craving hot bowls of soothing soup. There are many different recipes for chowder, including the little-known Rhode Island-style made of clear broth. But the one I'm a fan of is creamy New England-style, which was probably the first recorded chowder recipe, dating back to the 18th century. It just so happens that I'm the outlier in a family of all Manhattan-style lovers. Still for me, the fish broth enriched with cream holds the most appeal. That richness is what makes this chowder so soul-satisfying.
The recipe for chowder originally came from France ("chowder" comes from the word chaudière, meaning cauldron) and eventually made its way to England and over to the New World with the colonists. The recipe evolved according to the surroundings, availability of seafood, and the specific tastes of the region. Somewhere along the line certain recipes became more popular than others. Immigrants added their particular spin: the Portuguese added tomatoes to clear-broth chowder and invented what we know as Manhattan-style. That began the epic rivalry between New England- and Manhattan-style chowders, now typically made with clams. But the first chowders in America were made with fish.
Feeling Blue? Eat Italian Almond Torte with Blood Orange Compote
It's March, and the weather is still pretty miserable. There are cold fronts, snow storms, dense fog, and freezing rain blanketing various parts of the country.
While I can't make the daffodils grow any more quickly, I can share a recipe for a refreshing Italian Almond and Orange with Blood Orange Compote that is sure to make you feel warm and happy. I created the recipe a few weeks ago and have since made it two more times. It's that good.
While this Italian torte bakes, your home will be filled with the bright scent of citrus. Since it's subtly sweet yet rich with almond flavor, it's ideal for pairing with a glass of Italian Vin Santo on a relaxing afternoon. It also makes a lovely formal dessert when dressed with a spicy compote of tart blood oranges soaked in honey, vanilla, cloves, and star anise.
Guinness Braised Brisket
Brisket....I'm licking my lips. I love it. I've always loved it...as long as it's cooked right. Let's face it, it's a tough, flat piece of meat. It's a chest muscle. The only way to cook it right, is low and slow...which is why we braise. And the Guinness adds a nice layer of deep complexity to the sauce, just like red wine does to a pot roast. However, since the barley used to make Guinness is roasted, you get this really deep flavor in dished like this.
Braising melts all that intramuscular fat and works through the connective tissues. It's a three method process and worth every minute of time spent. Braising includes browning, deglazing and simmering, but really, the meat is in the oven most of the time...you might as well just forget about it and go read a book.
The torture comes in with the amazing smells coming from the kitchen....it leaves me hungry all day. ALL. DAY. I end up snacking on things I shouldn't because of that meat smell. UGH. Let's just say I might have eaten a few too many cookies yesterday. UGH. And why does smelling meat make me eat cookies?
Tomato Soup for the Soul
For all of you out there with cold feet, throbbing headaches, and damp socks.
For those who trudged through 1 ½ feet of sleet water to cross the street over and over again.
For those who shoveled for hours even after the snow turned to rain and then to solid ice.
For those who got stuck on the train in a tunnel for a half hour and then missed your meeting.
For those who forgot to eat lunch and took it out on everyone during the slow bus ride home.
For those of you trapped at home with no power.
For the cabs with spinning wheels and no traction.
For those with 3 pairs of soaked "waterproof" boots.
Shortcut Manhattan Clam Chowder
Although New England Clam Chowder (the white creamy version) is probably more popular, Manhattan Clam chowder is equally delicious. More like an Italian soup, this tomato based clam chowder makes a great winter dish.
Traditional recipes often require cooking fresh clams and using the cooking broth in the chowder (which is fine if you have the time) but I find that using canned clams and bottled clam juice makes this recipe more manageable, without sacrificing taste or quality.
Bal Harbor clam juice is available in most grocery stores and has great flavor. It's made from steaming whole, premium clams and is triple-filtered. This soup will keep refrigerated for up to 2 days, and the flavors continue to meld. Reheat over a low heat, and make sure not to boil the chowder, which can toughen the clams.
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Chile Verde
Seriously folks what is with all the bad weather in the U.S.? When I'm tooling around on Facebook I feel like I've been living everyone's bad weather, including my own. So much snow everywhere. Let's hope Spring comes a little early this year. All these gloomy days means the slow cooker has been earning its keep. This Pulled Pork Chile Verde has been something I've been working on. But today it was perfect and that's why I'm sharing it with you.
My goals for this recipe were straightforward. I wanted a dish that makes enough food for several meals, reheats well, lower in calories and a version even picky eater kids would eat and love. All were accomplished!
In regards to meal times, my older son is easier to please than my younger one. Let's just say I have a real critic when it comes to what he wants to or will eat. But he loved this. I purposefully made it mild enough so the kids would enjoy it. You can do the same and add hot sauce to get the heat you prefer or use a spicier sauce to begin with.

Arizona Cardinals
NFL Draft '14: Is it time for the Arizona Cardinals to draft a QB?
What matters come draft day is hard to quantify for each individual team, but for the Arizona Cardinals, this year it is especially hard.
They were not just on the doorstep, but had one foot inside when it came to the NFC playoffs in 2013, and if they were able to get in, you could make an argument they were the one team no one wanted to play.
For that reason, to many, the Cardinals must find an "impact player" with the 20th pick.
They have to come away from the 2014 NFL Draft with a player who will see the field, but also bring an element to the 2014 Cardinals that the 2013 team didn't have.
The problem becomes this: If you're looking for immediate impact, are you overlooking the best talent on the board?
The Cardinals don't have a huge need right now at cornerback, but if the best player on their board at 20 is Kyle Fuller, Darqueze Dennard or Justin Gilbert, do you pass for an edge rusher like Dee Ford?
The same question can be asked about players like Ra'Shede Hageman and Aaron Donald on the defensive line or C.J. Mosley from an inside linebacker perspective, instead taking a guy like Kony Ealy.
Then there is the real question: Are the Cardinals in a good enough position right now to take a quarterback if one falls?
The hot rumor around the league is that Teddy Bridgewater or Johnny Manziel may be available when the Cardinals step up to the podium on May 8, and for many Cardinals fans, that pit in your stomach begins to turn.
You harken back to the Cards passing on Aaron Rodgers because they needed a cornerback in 2005, just to realize they "needed" Matt Leinart in 2006.
We all remember how the 2004 NFL Draft turned out, and really could you ask for more than Larry Fitzgerald?
Of course Philip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger were both taken after Fitzgerald and are still their teams' franchise QBs while the Cardinals have employed 12 different quarterbacks to get Fitzgerald the ball in that time.
Is it time for the Cardinals to pull the trigger on a QB if they get the chance?
Whether or not the Cardinals are in the right position to draft a quarterback and allow him to sit for a year and learn can be debated. But the reality is the Cardinals, at some point soon, need to find that quarterback of the future.
Could that be Bridgewater, Manziel, Blake Bortles or another player at 20?
If not, there's always next year, right?
