A Fast Clustering-Based Feature Subset Selection Algorithm for High-Dimensional DataPage(s): 1 - 14| | Quick Abstract | PDF (3812 KB)
Feature selection involves identifying a subset of the most useful features that produces compatible results as the original entire set of features. A feature selection algorithm may be evaluated from both the efficiency and effectiveness points of view. While the efficiency concerns the time required to find a subset of features, the effectiveness is related to the quality of the subset of features. Based on these criteria, a fast clustering-based feature selection algorithm (FAST) is proposed and experimentally evaluated in this paper. The FAST algorithm works in two steps. In the first step, features are divided into clusters by using graph-theoretic clustering methods. In the second step, the most representative feature that is strongly related to target classes is selected from each cluster to form a subset of features. Features in different clusters are relatively independent, the clustering-based strategy of FAST has a high probability of producing a subset of useful and independent features. To ensure the efficiency of FAST, we adopt the efficient minimum-spanning tree (MST) clustering method. The efficiency and effectiveness of the FAST algorithm are evaluated through an empirical study. Extensive experiments are carried out to compare FAST and several representative feature selection algorithms, namely, FCBF, ReliefF, CFS, Consist, and FOCUS-SF, with respect to four types of well-known classifiers, namely, the probability-based Naive Bayes, the tree-based C4.5, the instance-based IB1, and the rule-based RIPPER before and after feature selection. The results, on 35 publicly available real-world high-dimensional image, microarray, and text data, demonstrate that the FAST not only produces smaller subsets of features but also improves the performances of the four types of classifiers.

A Graph-Based Consensus Maximization Approach for Combining Multiple Supervised and Unsupervised ModelsPage(s): 15 - 28| | Quick Abstract | PDF (2170 KB) | | HTML
Ensemble learning has emerged as a powerful method for combining multiple models. Well-known methods, such as bagging, boosting, and model averaging, have been shown to improve accuracy and robustness over single models. However, due to the high costs of manual labeling, it is hard to obtain sufficient and reliable labeled data for effective training. Meanwhile, lots of unlabeled data exist in these sources, and we can readily obtain multiple unsupervised models. Although unsupervised models do not directly generate a class label prediction for each object, they provide useful constraints on the joint predictions for a set of related objects. Therefore, incorporating these unsupervised models into the ensemble of supervised models can lead to better prediction performance. In this paper, we study ensemble learning with outputs from multiple supervised and unsupervised models, a topic where little work has been done. We propose to consolidate a classification solution by maximizing the consensus among both supervised predictions and unsupervised constraints. We cast this ensemble task as an optimization problem on a bipartite graph, where the objective function favors the smoothness of the predictions over the graph, but penalizes the deviations from the initial labeling provided by the supervised models. We solve this problem through iterative propagation of probability estimates among neighboring nodes and prove the optimality of the solution. The proposed method can be interpreted as conducting a constrained embedding in a transformed space, or a ranking on the graph. Experimental results on different applications with heterogeneous data sources demonstrate the benefits of the proposed method over existing alternatives.

A Survey of XML Tree PatternsPage(s): 29 - 46| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1412 KB) | | HTML
With XML becoming a ubiquitous language for data interoperability purposes in various domains, efficiently querying XML data is a critical issue. This has lead to the design of algebraic frameworks based on tree-shaped patterns akin to the tree-structured data model of XML. Tree patterns are graphic representations of queries over data trees. They are actually matched against an input data tree to answer a query. Since the turn of the 21st century, an astounding research effort has been focusing on tree pattern models and matching optimization (a primordial issue). This paper is a comprehensive survey of these topics, in which we outline and compare the various features of tree patterns. We also review and discuss the two main families of approaches for optimizing tree pattern matching, namely pattern tree minimization and holistic matching. We finally present actual tree pattern-based developments, to provide a global overview of this significant research topic. View full abstract»
Automatic Semantic Content Extraction in Videos Using a Fuzzy Ontology and Rule-Based ModelPage(s): 47 - 61| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1627 KB) | | HTML
Recent increase in the use of video-based applications has revealed the need for extracting the content in videos. Raw data and low-level features alone are not sufficient to fulfill the user 's needs; that is, a deeper understanding of the content at the semantic level is required. Currently, manual techniques, which are inefficient, subjective and costly in time and limit the querying capabilities, are being used to bridge the gap between low-level representative features and high-level semantic content. Here, we propose a semantic content extraction system that allows the user to query and retrieve objects, events, and concepts that are extracted automatically. We introduce an ontology-based fuzzy video semantic content model that uses spatial/temporal relations in event and concept definitions. This metaontology definition provides a wide-domain applicable rule construction standard that allows the user to construct an ontology for a given domain. In addition to domain ontologies, we use additional rule definitions (without using ontology) to lower spatial relation computation cost and to be able to define some complex situations more effectively. The proposed framework has been fully implemented and tested on three different domains. We have obtained satisfactory precision and recall rates for object, event and concept extraction.

Clustering Sentence-Level Text Using a Novel Fuzzy Relational Clustering AlgorithmPage(s): 62 - 75| | Quick Abstract | PDF (2862 KB)
In comparison with hard clustering methods, in which a pattern belongs to a single cluster, fuzzy clustering algorithms allow patterns to belong to all clusters with differing degrees of membership. This is important in domains such as sentence clustering, since a sentence is likely to be related to more than one theme or topic present within a document or set of documents. However, because most sentence similarity measures do not represent sentences in a common metric space, conventional fuzzy clustering approaches based on prototypes or mixtures of Gaussians are generally not applicable to sentence clustering. This paper presents a novel fuzzy clustering algorithm that operates on relational input data; i.e., data in the form of a square matrix of pairwise similarities between data objects. The algorithm uses a graph representation of the data, and operates in an Expectation-Maximization framework in which the graph centrality of an object in the graph is interpreted as a likelihood. Results of applying the algorithm to sentence clustering tasks demonstrate that the algorithm is capable of identifying overlapping clusters of semantically related sentences, and that it is therefore of potential use in a variety of text mining tasks. We also include results of applying the algorithm to benchmark data sets in several other domains. View full abstract»
Distributed Processing of Probabilistic Top-k Queries in Wireless Sensor NetworksPage(s): 76 - 91| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1547 KB) | | HTML
In this paper, we introduce the notion of sufficient set and necessary set for distributed processing of probabilistic top-k queries in cluster-based wireless sensor networks. These two concepts have very nice properties that can facilitate localized data pruning in clusters. Accordingly, we develop a suite of algorithms, namely, sufficient set-based (SSB), necessary set-based (NSB), and boundary-based (BB), for intercluster query processing with bounded rounds of communications. Moreover, in responding to dynamic changes of data distribution in the network, we develop an adaptive algorithm that dynamically switches among the three proposed algorithms to minimize the transmission cost. We show the applicability of sufficient set and necessary set to wireless sensor networks with both two-tier hierarchical and tree-structured network topologies. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithms reduce data transmissions significantly and incur only small constant rounds of data communications. The experimental results also demonstrate the superiority of the adaptive algorithm, which achieves a near-optimal performance under various conditions. View full abstract»
Evaluating Data Reliability: An Evidential Answer with Application to a Web-Enabled Data WarehousePage(s): 92 - 105| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1359 KB) | | HTML
There are many available methods to integrate information source reliability in an uncertainty representation, but there are only a few works focusing on the problem of evaluating this reliability. However, data reliability and confidence are essential components of a data warehousing system, as they influence subsequent retrieval and analysis. In this paper, we propose a generic method to assess data reliability from a set of criteria using the theory of belief functions. Customizable criteria and insightful decisions are provided. The chosen illustrative example comes from real-world data issued from the Sym'Previus predictive microbiology oriented data warehouse. View full abstract»
Large Graph Analysis in the GMine SystemPage(s): 106 - 118Multimedia| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1832 KB)
Current applications have produced graphs on the order of hundreds of thousands of nodes and millions of edges. To take advantage of such graphs, one must be able to find patterns, outliers, and communities. These tasks are better performed in an interactive environment, where human expertise can guide the process. For large graphs, though, there are some challenges: the excessive processing requirements are prohibitive, and drawing hundred-thousand nodes results in cluttered images hard to comprehend. To cope with these problems, we propose an innovative framework suited for any kind of tree-like graph visual design. GMine integrates 1) a representation for graphs organized as hierarchies of partitions-the concepts of SuperGraph and Graph-Tree; and 2) a graph summarization methodology-CEPS. Our graph representation deals with the problem of tracing the connection aspects of a graph hierarchy with sub linear complexity, allowing one to grasp the neighborhood of a single node or of a group of nodes in a single click. As a proof of concept, the visual environment of GMine is instantiated as a system in which large graphs can be investigated globally and locally. View full abstract»
Maximum Likelihood Estimation from Uncertain Data in the Belief Function FrameworkPage(s): 119 - 130Multimedia| | Quick Abstract | PDF (877 KB)
We consider the problem of parameter estimation in statistical models in the case where data are uncertain and represented as belief functions. The proposed method is based on the maximization of a generalized likelihood criterion, which can be interpreted as a degree of agreement between the statistical model and the uncertain observations. We propose a variant of the EM algorithm that iteratively maximizes this criterion. As an illustration, the method is applied to uncertain data clustering using finite mixture models, in the cases of categorical and continuous attributes. View full abstract»
Nonadaptive Mastermind Algorithms for String and Vector Databases, with Case StudiesPage(s): 131 - 144| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1705 KB) | | HTML
In this paper, we study sparsity-exploiting Mastermind algorithms for attacking the privacy of an entire database of character strings or vectors, such as DNA strings, movie ratings, or social network friendship data. Based on reductions to nonadaptive group testing, our methods are able to take advantage of minimal amounts of privacy leakage, such as contained in a single bit that indicates if two people in a medical database have any common genetic mutations, or if two people have any common friends in an online social network. We analyze our Mastermind attack algorithms using theoretical characterizations that provide sublinear bounds on the number of queries needed to clone the database, as well as experimental tests on genomic information, collaborative filtering data, and online social networks. By taking advantage of the generally sparse nature of these real-world databases and modulating a parameter that controls query sparsity, we demonstrate that relatively few nonadaptive queries are needed to recover a large majority of each database.

On the Recovery of R-TreesPage(s): 145 - 157| | Quick Abstract | PDF (354 KB) | | HTML
We consider the recoverability of traditional R-tree index structures under concurrent updating transactions, an important issue that is neglected or treated inadequately in many proposals of R-tree concurrency control. We present two solutions to ARIES-based recovery of transactions on R-trees. These assume a standard fine-grained single-version update model with physiological write-ahead logging and steal-and-no-force buffering where records with uncommitted updates by a transaction may migrate from their original page to another page due to structure modifications caused by other transactions. Both solutions guarantee that an R-tree will remain in a consistent and balanced state in the presence of any number of concurrent forward-rolling and (totally or partially) backward-rolling multiaction transactions and in the event of process failures and system crashes. One solution maintains the R-tree in a strictly consistent state in which the bounding rectangles of pages are as tight as possible, while in the other solution this requirement is relaxed. In both solutions only a small constant number of simultaneous exclusive latches (write latches) are needed, and in the solution that only maintains relaxed consistency also the number of simultaneous nonexclusive latches is similarly limited. In both solutions, deletions are handled uniformly with insertions, and a logarithmic insertion-path length is maintained under all circumstances. View full abstract»
Ontology Matching: State of the Art and Future ChallengesPage(s): 158 - 176| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1152 KB) | | HTML
After years of research on ontology matching, it is reasonable to consider several questions: is the field of ontology matching still making progress? Is this progress significant enough to pursue further research? If so, what are the particularly promising directions? To answer these questions, we review the state of the art of ontology matching and analyze the results of recent ontology matching evaluations. These results show a measurable improvement in the field, the speed of which is albeit slowing down. We conjecture that significant improvements can be obtained only by addressing important challenges for ontology matching. We present such challenges with insights on how to approach them, thereby aiming to direct research into the most promising tracks and to facilitate the progress of the field. View full abstract»
Ranking on Data Manifold with Sink PointsPage(s): 177 - 191| | Quick Abstract | PDF (2948 KB)
Ranking is an important problem in various applications, such as Information Retrieval (IR), natural language processing, computational biology, and social sciences. Many ranking approaches have been proposed to rank objects according to their degrees of relevance or importance. Beyond these two goals, diversity has also been recognized as a crucial criterion in ranking. Top ranked results are expected to convey as little redundant information as possible, and cover as many aspects as possible. However, existing ranking approaches either take no account of diversity, or handle it separately with some heuristics. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach, Manifold Ranking with Sink Points (MRSPs), to address diversity as well as relevance and importance in ranking. Specifically, our approach uses a manifold ranking process over the data manifold, which can naturally find the most relevant and important data objects. Meanwhile, by turning ranked objects into sink points on data manifold, we can effectively prevent redundant objects from receiving a high rank. MRSP not only shows a nice convergence property, but also has an interesting and satisfying optimization explanation. We applied MRSP on two application tasks, update summarization and query recommendation, where diversity is of great concern in ranking. Experimental results on both tasks present a strong empirical performance of MRSP as compared to existing ranking approaches. View full abstract»
Region-Based Foldings in Process DiscoveryPage(s): 192 - 205| | Quick Abstract | PDF (2039 KB)
A central problem in the area of Process Mining is to obtain a formal model that represents the processes that are conducted in a system. If realized, this simple motivation allows for powerful techniques that can be used to formally analyze and optimize a system, without the need to resort to its semiformal and sometimes inaccurate specification. The problem addressed in this paper is known as Process Discovery: to obtain a formal model from a set of system executions. The theory of regions is a valuable tool in process discovery: it aims at learning a formal model (Petri nets) from a set of traces. On its genuine form, the theory is applied on an automaton and therefore one should convert the traces into an acyclic automaton in order to apply these techniques. Given that the complexity of the region-based techniques depends on the size of the input automata, revealing the underlying cycles and folding the initial automaton can incur in a significant complexity alleviation of the region-based techniques. In this paper, we follow this idea by incorporating region information in the cycle detection algorithm, enabling the identification of complex cycles that cannot be obtained efficiently with state-of-the-art techniques. The experimental results obtained by the devised tool suggest that the techniques presented in this paper are a big step into widening the application of the theory of regions in Process Mining for industrial scenarios.

Relationships between Diversity of Classification Ensembles and Single-Class Performance MeasuresPage(s): 206 - 219| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1682 KB) | | HTML
In class imbalance learning problems, how to better recognize examples from the minority class is the key focus, since it is usually more important and expensive than the majority class. Quite a few ensemble solutions have been proposed in the literature with varying degrees of success. It is generally believed that diversity in an ensemble could help to improve the performance of class imbalance learning. However, no study has actually investigated diversity in depth in terms of its definitions and effects in the context of class imbalance learning. It is unclear whether diversity will have a similar or different impact on the performance of minority and majority classes. In this paper, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of if and when ensemble diversity has a positive impact on the classification of imbalanced data sets. First, we explain when and why diversity measured by Q-statistic can bring improved overall accuracy based on two classification patterns proposed by Kuncheva et al. We define and give insights into good and bad patterns in imbalanced scenarios. Then, the pattern analysis is extended to single-class performance measures, including recall, precision, and F-measure, which are widely used in class imbalance learning. Six different situations of diversity's impact on these measures are obtained through theoretical analysis. Finally, to further understand how diversity affects the single class performance and overall performance in class imbalance problems, we carry out extensive experimental studies on both artificial data sets and real-world benchmarks with highly skewed class distributions. We find strong correlations between diversity and discussed performance measures. Diversity shows a positive impact on the minority class in general. It is also beneficial to the overall performance in terms of AUC and G-mean. View full abstract»
T-Drive: Enhancing Driving Directions with Taxi Drivers' IntelligencePage(s): 220 - 232Multimedia| | Quick Abstract | PDF (2361 KB)
This paper presents a smart driving direction system leveraging the intelligence of experienced drivers. In this system, GPS-equipped taxis are employed as mobile sensors probing the traffic rhythm of a city and taxi drivers' intelligence in choosing driving directions in the physical world. We propose a time-dependent landmark graph to model the dynamic traffic pattern as well as the intelligence of experienced drivers so as to provide a user with the practically fastest route to a given destination at a given departure time. Then, a Variance-Entropy-Based Clustering approach is devised to estimate the distribution of travel time between two landmarks in different time slots. Based on this graph, we design a two-stage routing algorithm to compute the practically fastest and customized route for end users. We build our system based on a real-world trajectory data set generated by over 33,000 taxis in a period of three months, and evaluate the system by conducting both synthetic experiments and in-the-field evaluations. As a result, 60-70 percent of the routes suggested by our method are faster than the competing methods, and 20 percent of the routes share the same results. On average, 50 percent of our routes are at least 20 percent faster than the competing approaches. View full abstract»

|Boasting a rooftop terrace with views of N Seoul Tower and Changdeokgung Palace, AMASS Hotel is located under 10 minutes' stroll from Exit 4 of Anguk Subway Station (Line 3).
great location,helpful staff。 the young man with glasses is really nice.
Quiet environment. Near to Cultural and Entertainment Museum Near to train station Fresh eggs, bread and jam, and kitchen provided.
Mosquitoes People passing urine outside along the streets
The manager Mr. Hong is very nice and helpful. I booked 2 rooms, triple and double. Instead, he gave us a whole house for our comfort and privacy. He also let us use the washing machine and lend us d Tmoney card for the subway. The rooms are very basic, clean and comfortable. I would highly recomend this place. Kuddos to Mr. Hong, would stay in this hostel again if we come back to Seoul.
Mr.Hong is very nice.The room is spacious.I have a back pain and cannot sleep on the hard mattress so Mr.Hong provided me an extra soft blanket to sleep on and I had the best sleep in Korea here.
The wall is quite thin so if other guest uses the washing machine at night,then you won't be able to sleep.No bathtub,only shower.
The place is strategic. If you value your money and time please choose ABLE Hostel! The manager (Mr. Hong) is very helpful and attends to our needs in a flash!
the manager is so kind and can speak english very well.. near subway station very clean and cheap
Manager is very nice. Manager and staff are kind of helpful. Good location.
No lift and elderly should consider to climbing the stairs. However, Manager is strong to help bring your luggages up and down.
The quality of service to their guests, white linens, cleanliness.
Very narrow stairs. Water closer for the shower and the lavatory is the same. The time indicated as check out is not correct. It did not indicate that there is an add-on cost if payment is made thru credit card unlike other hotels.
Clean room with comfortable beds. Hot water is strong. Mr Hong is very helpful. He assisted in my Everland booking n also helps whenever he can on making reservation. Location close to subway n some malls.
Only bread, jam & milk for breakfast. No varieties. When asked, I was given a box of eggs. To have the same thing for 6 days is really boring. Only provides small towels.n changed every two days. They should consider providing chairs in the room. Stayed on the third floor and found the staircase too steep for old folks.
This was my 3rd stay at Able Hostel so if it weren't good, I wouldn't be back. Great value for money at a fantastic location. Wonderful staff who go out of their way to make our stay comfortable.
The location was fantastic, being very close to the heart of shopping mecca and a stone's throw away form the entrance to the subway. The 2nd guest house was right opposite the DongDaeMun Design Plaza and the bus-stop for the airport limo bus was next to the alley that led to it. The 2nd guest house was also newly renovated so everything was very clean and seemed brand new. There was a water dispenser and a common cooking area on every floor. There were lots of food options around and a night market right at the doorstep of the 2nd guest house. The staff were very helpful and acquiesced to our request to a change of rooms for our next stay to one with a washing machine in the bathroom and an elevator in the building (in the older 1st guest house). We stored our luggage with them for the 3 days that we were away in Jeonju and upon our return, our luggage was already transferred to our new room in the other building a few streets away.
There was no elevator at the 2nd guest house and the staircase was very narrow. It would have been impossible for two of us girls to lug our suitcases up & down without the help of the hostel assistant, Mr Kim. The reception area was also in a separate building so it was a bit inconvenient.
If you're looking for hotel comfort with personalised service, this haven is where you should be. Accompanied with the every frequent and initiated how-are-you and do-you-need-any-help, the service and help rendered by the hotel owner, Mr Hong were impeccable. If you're new to Seoul, the tips and recommendations by the owner will save you time and effort in planning ad worrying too much prior your trip.
Location is very near from subway station...interchange of 3 lines metro. Close to dongdaemun market
A little bit bad smell when entering the main door of hostel
Close proximity to Dongdaemun History and Culture Park subway station.
Room is quite run-down, but was told they are moving to newly renovated site in a few months time.
Location convenient. Staff pleasant, helpful.
Cleanliness of beddings. Unit is too far fm reception due to the move to new building.
Mr Hong and staffs are very friendly,the place is very convenient as downstair has a convenient store, airport limousine bus stop is inly 3 mins walk to reach.
Mr Hong and staff are very accommodating and extremely helpful. They are always ready to lend a hand even at late hours. Location was nice as it was close to the subway, night market and shopping centers. Nicer if they were in a plush location.
They can improve their facilities with a TV and more kitchen utensils. Internet was sometimes down.
owner very helpful..location is good..near to subway..shopping mall..really enjoy our stay at able hostel..will recommend to our friends!
The boss really nice , caring n helpful. We felt so touch when he helping us to carry two large n heavy luggage , rushing to catch the airport bus. We felt lucky for choosing this guest house.
Excellence location, clean, safety, good service & kindly of manager/boss~ Mr.Hong, Highly recommend visit again
Location was very convenient since it was located near a train interchange. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Room was not clean and the bedsheets were dirty. Toilet light was extremely dim. As there are many Russians living in the area, I would not recommend being out too late at night as it occasionally feels rather unsafe.
The hostel manager is so friendly and helpful! We really felt like guests here. Able Hostel is very close to the train station and airport bus station. Will definitely book again!
The staff was extremely helpful. Mr Hong and Dan aided us whenever we needed help with reservation or recommendation during our trip. The location of the hostel was very convenient to the subway and to shopping areas.
Everything was OK,big room,clean, and good located,the staff was polite and kind:)
Location is superb! It is just 5min from Exit 12 (with escalator, 4 floors to road level) of Dongdaemun History & Culture Station. You can also use the escalators at the Lotte Fittin during opening hours (just 2 floors to road level). Airport Bus 6001 also stops right outside the Hostel! The Manager, Mr Hong is very, very helpful. Sent an email b4 our trip with pictures on direction to the Hostel. Friend needed to buy some supplements for the liver for a family member and Mr Hong went out of his way to google for the product and tried contacting the company selling it. There was one evening where we needed to do last minute shopping at Namdaemun Market and Mr Hong helped us surfed the net to check the closing hours. Though the twin room was small BUT it has almost everything - toiletries and a hair dryer! You just need to bring your own towels. As it is Spring when we visited, we requested Mr Hong to turn on the heater for the room. It was nice & warm when we returned late at night after long hours of cold outside. We will definitely come back again :)

Embattled UBS poised for merger with SBC
Saturday 06 December 1997
Employees of Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) have been summoned to weekend meetings to hear details of their fate, according to banking sources. UBS is expected to announce a merger with rival Swiss Bank Corporation (SBC), a move which would lead to a jobs "bloodbath" in both the City and elsewhere. A full-scale merger of the two banks would create one of the largest banks in the world, with assets of more than pounds 350bn.
"UBS has been in paralysis for six months because there's been a feeling that a major announcement is on its way. The bank's lost several key staff in the process," said one insider yesterday.
Discussions between the two banks are thought to have begun some months ago, following UBS's snub to Switzerland's third banking giant, Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB), last year. In April 1996, UBS rejected overtures from CSFB, which recently took control of parts of BZW, Barclays' investment banking arm.
Sources close to UBS say the beleaguered bank could hive off some of its banking activities and merge the remainder with SBC. JP Morgan, the US investment bank, has been named as a likely bidder for the Swiss bank's sizeable equities business. And speculation has also focused on Deutsche Bank, the German banking giant, as a possible purchaser of UBS's Swiss client portfolio.
Shares in both UBS, whose board met yesterday, and SBC, were sharply higher in Zurich trading yesterday.
The Swiss market is heavily over-banked, and all three Swiss banking giants posted heavy losses last year. Merger speculation has been heightened in recent weeks following comments from a major UBS shareholder, Swiss investor Martin Ebner. Mr Ebner recently suggested that it would make sense for two of the Swiss banks to merge and then hive off some business or join forces with a foreign partner.
"UBS is no longer master of its own destiny. If it tries to stay on its own, it's already too late for it to succeed," commented one source last night.

Series/Tournaments: Champions League Twenty20
Teams: Delhi Daredevils | India
The owners of Delhi Daredevils will like to believe they have bought all that money could buy given the spending constraints. A shrewd captain in Mahela Jayawardene, an explosive opener in David Warner, a charismatic batsman in Kevin Pietersen, a constant threat in Virender Sehwag, a middle-order jack-in-the-box in Ross Taylor, the Daredevils have some of the best names Twenty20 cricket can throw up. And the attack comprising Morne Morkel, Umesh Yadav and Andre Russell isn't half bad either.
Yet, Daredevils fans will remind you that the squad composition has never been their problem. It's the big matches that they have blundered in, especially in the IPLs. Good in league, average in knockouts, some will say. It happened in last year's IPL too, when they finished at the top of the table, but lost two Qualifiers to be knocked out of the title race. Even a second bite at the cherry was not good enough for them.
So Daredevils go into yet another tournament as one of the favourites, but also with that big question mark hanging over them. They do have a new captain, Jayawardene, who himself has an uneasy record in tournament finals, having captained Sri Lanka to two World Cup final defeats and having been part of four such final-hurdle failures.
How they qualified
Some will question their direct entry to the tournament, being the third-placed side in the IPL. No other league is allowed three places in the tournament, and a few league winners have had to go through a qualifying tournament. However, these leagues are purely commercial ventures, and it's naïve to complain about moves that make commercial sense. By their own admission, the Champions League T20 depends almost entirely on Indian viewership. The more sides from India the better for the organisers.
Key player
There are four big batsmen in the side, but Daredevils have a raw attack. Looking at the pitches in the qualifying tournament, there is help for the bowlers, and Daredevils look a bit thin there. All the onus now is on Morne Morkel to use his knowledge of home conditions and to lead an attack. He has been good when given a free rein thanks to Dale Steyn's control, but now Morkel will have to be the Daredevils' Steyn.
Surprise package
India's Under-19 World Cup-winning captain Unmukt Chand is all set to make a comeback for Daredevils after he played just two matches in the IPL. He has shown remarkable maturity in big matches as an Under-19 player, and will have a key role to play in the line-up because Daredevils can't possibly pack in all the overseas batsmen in the line-up.
Apart from the much-documented problems in big-match environment, Daredevils are without quality spin in their squad. Left-arm spinner Pawan Negi is the only specialist spinner in the squad, and there are no part-timers to speak of either. Sehwag hardly bowls any more, and Warner and Pietersen are as good as each other.

with pleasure:)

You linked wrong pattern. I recognized which one you used, because it is my wish list! Your version is gorgeous (far more elegant than the burda photoshoot)! Now I want even more to try it!
Jun 10, 2013, 09.08 AMby katya katya
thank you:) I didn't know how to link the right one, the pattern I used wasn't on a list or maybe I didn't understand something. I have sewn this dress in about 2h.
Jun 10, 2013, 09.36 AMby liliv-1
You are right, I can't find it either:) There is only the similar double Strap Tank 06/2013 #108. You put the right pattern at the project name so it's ok! You made a gorgeous dress anyway and you styled it perfectly!

Mean Green Strength and Conditioning
The Mean Green strength and conditioning program moved into its brand new 7,000 square foot weight room in the spring of 2005. The increased space has been filled with new racks and benches, allowing more Mean Green athletes to complete workouts with state-of-the-art machines.
The staff utilize the twelve Power Lift Multi-Purpose Racks, 12 In-Laid Olympic Platforms, Thirty-plus Hammer Strength machines and over 16,000 pounds of weights to help the athletes reach their potential athletically and then push them over the top to exceed even their own expectations. The strength and conditioning program has also helped to drastically reduce injuries as well as speed up recovery time during rehabilitation.

Fresh Air Weekend: Dexter Filkins, Joe Turner, Tom Wolfe
Originally published on Sat October 27, 2012 9:04 am
Fresh Air Weekend highlights some of the best interviews and reviews from past weeks, and new program elements specially paced for weekends. Our weekend show emphasizes interviews with writers, filmmakers, actors, and musicians, and often includes excerpts from live in-studio concerts. This week:
Iraq Vet Seeks Atonement For Early War Tragedy: In the early days of the Iraq War, during a firefight in Baghdad, Lu Lobello's Marine unit mistakenly opened fire on a family of civilians, killing three. Years later, and after enlisting the help of reporter Dexter Filkins, Lobello reached out to that family for forgiveness.
The Big Man Behind 'Shake, Rattle And Roll': Six feet tall, weighing in at 400 pounds and in his 40s when stardom hit him, Big Joe Turner is behind a load of rock 'n' roll hits. His hardest-hitting singles have been collected on a new compilation, titled Big Joe Turner Rocks.
Tom Wolfe Takes Miami's Pulse In 'Back To Blood': Wolfe tells Fresh Air's Dave Davies that what makes Miami exceptional is the story of how an immigrant community rose to dominate its political landscape in just over a generation. His new novel deals with racial and ethnic conflict among the city's diverse inhabitants.

Boro mate defends Downing
12 Oct 2006 - 13:21:57
Middlesbrough youngster James Morrison has defended team-mate Stewart Downing over criticism about his recent performances on the international stage.
Twenty-two-year-old Downing was left out of the England team which lost 2-0 away to Croatia on Wednesday evening, but Morrison is backing his colleague to get back into the starting eleven very soon.
He told Boro's official club website: "I have played with him for a long time and seen what he can do, so I have no doubts about Stewart Downing.
"I do not think there is anybody better than him down the left-hand side at the moment, I cannot think of anyone.
"There are a lot bigger names than him in the team who are not doing so well. Stewart is tough enough to block it out of his head.
"Against Greece he laid on four goals and yet they are saying he does not go past a man. I just do not know where they are coming from."

It wouldn't be unusual to see a historic marker on the side of the road nearly anywhere in the county, but it's rare for two markers to be within a couple hundred feet of one another.
On Sunday, Dec. 14, a new roadside marker was unveiled on Craig Farm Road, a stone's throw from the marker already in place at Kilburnie, the Inn at Craig Farm.

Eddie, 34, pleaded guilty to charges of presenting false claims to the United States in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 286, and aggravated identity theft, a violation of Title 18 United States Code, Section 1028A, according to a press release from U.S. Attorney Bill Nettles.
Shucks, I was just standing in the grocery check-out line with several items in my buggy and I noticed a young man with a couple of things in his hand.
Well, at my age, I don't have too many urgent items on my agenda, so I suggested he go around me and not have to wait.
Well sir, he thanked me before moving ahead and then he thanked me after checking out. I thought he was kind since some folks move on and move out.
It's official, Lancaster County will no longer be adding any new roads into its vast system, save for a few exceptions.
After a long and bumpy road filled with years of debates, Lancaster County Council voted unanimously Dec. 8 to approve final reading of an amended ordinance closing the county's road system for good.

Election season finally ended last month and many of us have breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Drunken driving has become a national epidemic. Each year, drunken-driving crashes kill more than 10,000 people in America. Lancaster County Sheriff's Office is working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), National Liquor Law Enforcement (NLLEA) and the Coalition for Healthy Youth and S.C. Department of Public Safety (SCDPS) this holiday season, to reach out to all drivers with an important message about this deadly, preventable crime because buzzed driving is drunk driving.

Winner: Utah resident Bill Boren has become the first person in North America to be fitted with a waterproof artificial heart pump that allows him to swim. Because of a form of muscular dystrophy that affects the muscles in his legs, Boren can't do any other form of exercise to strengthen his legs. Doctors hope someday he will be well enough for a heart transplant. In the meantime, technology is keeping both him and his hopes alive.
Winner? Albert Einstein based his most famous theory on the idea that nothing could move faster than the speed of light. That's one reason why skeptics such as the chairman of the physics department at the University of Maryland have called a new theory about faster-than-light neutrinos "flying carpets." Researchers in France and Italy combined on the experiments that apparently led to the amazing discovery. They have made the finding public this week in hopes that other scientists either will confirm it or discover flaws in their methods. Utahns should know not to get too excited. Remember cold fusion?
Loser: Few things have assaulted the sensibilities of people in Utah and Washington state lately quite as much as the behavior of Steven Powell, father-in-law of Susan Cox Powell, the mother of two whose disappearance nearly two years ago has been a source of both concern and anguish. Steven Powell made some recent public comments about Susan that could be described as inappropriate, at best, and disgustingly foul by many. Now police have arrested Steven Powell on charges of child voyeurism. They allegedly discovered he possessed lewd photos and videos of underaged girls and others, including Susan Powell, all photographed without their knowledge. We can only hope the most important question, concerning Susan's whereabouts, is answered soon.
Loser: Apparently, once you get on a list for government benefits — either for a disability or retirement — it's hard to get off. Death won't even do the trick. The Office of Personnel Management revealed this week that the government has issued more than $600 million worth of checks to dead people over the last five years. In one case, the son of a beneficiary kept getting checks for 37 years after his dad passed away. The problem has continued unabated despite reports six years ago that it was taking place. Apparently, when a government official says the check is in the mail, he means it.

I'm running up against a problem in understanding the CLOS way of handling file access within a class. In c++ I would be able to do this:
class Foo {
Foo (string filename); // opens the file (my_file) requested by the filename
~Foo (); // close the file
FILE * my_file; // a persistent file-handle
DataStruct my_data; // some data
void ParseData (); // will perform some function on the file and populate my_data
DataStruct * GetData () { return &my_data; } // accessor to the data
What I'd like to point out is that PraseData() will be called multiple times, and each time a new block of data will be parsed from the file and my_data will be altered.
I'm trying to perform the same trick in CLOS - create all the generic methods to parse the data, load the file, read headers, etc. as well as the class definition which I have as:
(defclass data-file ()
((filename :initarg :filename :accessor filename)
(file :accessor file)
(frame :accessor frame)))
In the "constructor" (i.e. initialize-instance) I open the file just as my c++ idiom. Then I have access to the data and I can parse the data as before. However, I'm told that using a "destructor" or (finalize) method to close the file is not idiomatic CLOS for handling this type of situation where I need the file to be around so I can access it outside of my data-file methods.
I'm going to define a function that loads a data-file, and then performs a series of analyses with its data, and then hopefully close it. What's a way to go about doing this? (I'm assuming a macro or some type of closure would work in here, but I'm not familiar enough with the lisp way to decide what is needed or how to implement it).

This year, it looks like Black Friday will be a bigger headache than ever before. Stores are pushing sales earlier and earlier — during the day on Thanksgiving, and even some beginning on Wednesday night!
Tons of people are willing to wait in line hours and hours for discounts. Sure, you can get some great deals, but some people are even hiring themselves out to wait in line for other people! When you get through the doors, you're suddenly faced with a crazy mob racing through the aisles.

Last year, "selfie" was added to the dictionary. This year, the word "vape" was added to the Oxford English Dictionary - and it has even been named the 2014 international Word of the Year.
As if you needed any more evidence that vaping has truly arrived!
The folks who run the most respected authority on the English language define "to vape" as "to inhale and exhale the vapor produced by an electronic cigarette or similar device."
