My name is Xena!
Xena's Info...
I am purebred.
"Xena" is going to make one lucky person or family tremendously happy! She is turning out to be one of the favorites at the shelter, with her playful, yet laid back and obedient attitude. She is very respectful and seems to have spent lots of time with people. She gets along with other dogs, however, she can be dominant, so she will probably do best in a home without any other dominant dogs. This should by no means hinder your opinion about her because she is a star! She is sure to brighten your day... and your life:)

" Sky Movies is the collective name for the British premium subscription television movie channels operated by Sky Television, later British Sky Broadcasting. It has around 5 million subscribers, via both satellite and cable in the UK and Ireland.[2] In addition to the television channels, it has an interactive 'red button' service, a website (sky.com/movies) and recently launched a 3G Mobile service via Vodafone. Sky Movies is said to be the largest television movie service in the world outside the United States. "
* Prices may differ from that shown
We have had Sky installed for over a year now, and just before Christmas sky offered 2 months of the complete movies pack for £5 per month. At a usual price of £16 per month we thought we would try it as I absolutely love watching films. Since the trial period we have upgraded to the movie pack full time and still love the channels.
Sky movies offers 3 types of movie package, Sky Movies 1, Sky Movies 2 or the Sky Movies complete pack. So here's what you get for your money:-
Sky Movies 1
This is £8 per month and includes 5 film channels:-
Romance and Drama
Modern Greats
Sky Movies 2
This is also £8 per month and includes another 5 different channels:-
Action & Adventure
Crime & Thriller
Sci-Fi and Horror
If you decide you want both sets of channels you have the complete pack at a price of £16 per month. You would think the mighty Sky would offer you a discount if you take both, but instead give you bonus channels of Sky Movies Premier, Sky Movies Showcase and the Disney channel - which I have yet to find!
Sky Movies Premier offers 5 new movie blockbusters each week which means you do get a steady turnover of new films way before they hit terrestrial TV.
Sky Movies Showcase dedicates itself to Movie Specials, Boxsets and Film Collections and changes with the seasons. At Christmas this channel is overrun with festive favourites!
The Benefit of the Sky movies is that you get a wide selection of films without any advert breaks. But it does mean that you get loads of repeats, which is great if you miss a film you want to see, but the vast amount of repeats is annoying after a while. But you'll never be without a film to watch, and we have not rented a movie since from either the Blockbusters of this world of the Sky Box Office.
At £16 per month it does place a huge jump on your sky bill and ours was nearing £55 per month for the Sky+, Movies, Broadband and Phone (+line rental) so I rang Sky to see if I could haggle some off! With a bit if haggling I managed to get my monthly bill down from £55 p/m to £37 p/m meaning in essence I was getting the movies free and a little more knocked off. Now this tactic won't always work but it may be worth a try, but you do have to be with Sky for over a year for them to be more willing to offer you a deal.
As the sky movie package is included amongst the rest of my sky subscription it's hard for me to say exactly how much it costs per month at the moment but I definitely feel it offers value for money and when I first subscribed it was no different to visiting the cinema or renting a film once a week.
Of course, the difference between taking a sky movie subscription and regularly renting a film or visiting the cinema (with exception of the large screen, loud speakers and ever increasing cost at a cinema) is that you are always restricted to watching what is available on their broadcast schedule without the option of not paying that day if there isn't anything you fancy. Sky+ has made a move to combat this with the opportunity to record films and store them for later if you want but some may still prefer the wide selection offered at a video store and the option of not paying to rent a film if you don't find something that catches your eye.
The sky movie package is split across many channels including sky premier, comedy, sci-fi and family all of which concentrate on specific genres. This tries to ensure there is something for everyone but on all channels it is mostly hollywood big name, high production value and high marketing budget selection of films.
There is little room for the independent film makers and even those who begin to break into the main stream are left untouched and left mostly to the likes of film4 to cover. This may leave some of the more discerning film fans left a little disappointed.
If you can find something you wish to watch though with the right equipment at home and a combination of 5.1 or above speakers, a sky HD subscription and full HD TV you are likely to be amazed by the experience created which is one of crystal clear sound and perfect HD images that at least attempt to compete with the cinema environment within the constraints of your front room. I've never been left disappointed by any of the broadcast quality on the HD channels.
In summary, a sky movies subscription costs little more than renting a film weekly but gives the opportunity to see far more than one film a week if you can find something to watch. The selection available may be a little mainstream for some but the broadcast quality of all films is barely distinguishable from a Blu-Ray disc.
Sky movies is an add on package which you can buy and pay for monthly when you subscribe to the satellite T.V provider Sky.
The full package contains the premiere channel which shows the latest offerings from Sky, there is also a plus 1 hour version which means you get double the chance to watch the movies and can be very handy if you have just missed the start of a movie.
New movies are shown every Friday and are repeated for that whole week which gives you plenty of chance to see the new films.
Most of the movies that are on this channel have already been released onto dvd so if you are a movie buff then you will probably have seen most of the movies already.
You can only get the premiere channel when you get the whole movie package which costs around £16 per month extra for the whole kabooble not including the HD channels as this is also extra.
You get 8 other channels which show different types of films ie Sky comedy will just show funny films and ScFi/Horror has that type of film.
You will also get sky screen 1 and 2 and TCM 1 and2 along with a selection of other movie channels which may be free anyway.
You can also choose to just have half the package which is either sky movie package 1 or 2.
This means you will have to decide which movies you watch more often and you will only get one of the Sky screens and you also dont get the TCM.
This will save you £8 a month though so is worth doing.
Right my opinion of this service is its one of those things once you have had it its hard to give up a bit like fags.
We have had the movies for 5 years but as we have had to make some cut backs recently we have now just got the half package.
As big movie lovers we do tend to just want to chill out to a film but recently I am asking why are we paying for this service.
All of the movies we have usualy seen a few months before and they are just shown over and over again I mean come on theres only so many times you can watch die hard.
I think we may wean ourselves soon from the movies but giving up sky altogether will be hard as I just love Sky plus unless anyone reading this knows of anything similar that is free??
I used to love Sky Movies, but alas, that was before both the proliferation of streaming websites and downloads, and of course, the inception of the far more engaging Film4. Although Sky Movies offers up a wealth of quantity, it doesn't offer a too much quality to the more discerning filmgoer, even if I can see what the appeal is to more casual tastes.
A few years ago Sky decided to change their format from the numerically assigned "Sky Movies" channels to sorting their channels by genre, such as Movies Premiere (where all the new films reside), Comedy, Family (is there really much of a difference between Comedy and Family!?), Action & Thriller, Drama, Classics, Sci-Fi & Horror, Modern Greats, and Indie (the most Film4-esque of the channels, but not as good). While on paper this segeregation is a good idea, it doesn't work in practise because it results in Sky ceaselessly repeating the same films OVER AND OVER AGAIN. It wouldn't be so bad if the output was good, but particularly in the Premiere section, Sky have failed to dilligently cherrypick the best ones out and have sought to show simply the box office hits, whether they're in fact good or not. It makes sense perhaps from a business perspective, but I'm not a businessman: I'm a cineaste who wants the best of the best, and Sky Movies does not deliver that.
I'm not some arthouse snob, but I simply don't want to watch Meet the Spartans and I Know Who Killed Me on endless repeat. I want something with a little bite, and so I tend to watch the ironically free Film4 to fill this void, or catch films online.
I'm probably in the minority here, but I find their systemisation of film genres detrimental to the quality of the programming.
Once upon a time (before April 2007, to be precise), the Sky Movies package was great. The channels were not split up according to genre and the same movies were not shown ad nauseam; unique films ran non-stop so on any one channel you could watch 12-15 different movies in a day.
Then the powers that be had a brainwave and revamped the package - the result is a mediocre product that is definitely not worth the money and that offers a very narrow range of movies that makes the local Vue multiplex edgy and adventurous by comparison.
The backbone of the package (ignoring the HD frills) is made up of Movies Premiere and Movies Premiere +1 (which is essentially the same channel) Comedy, Action & Thriller, Family, Drama, Classics, Sci-Fi & Horror, Modern Greats, and Movies Indie.
The first major drawback is that the movies are repeated over and over again. And again. And again. In the past week, for example, the third instalment of the "High School Musical" has been shown at least 4 times (that I've counted). If you don't want to watch 30-year-olds pretend they are still in high school, you could watch them pretend that they are at uni in the "College Road Trip". That's been on 5 times. And it's the same story across every genre channel; the Movies Premiere is even worse - it seems to be repeating the same 5 movies for the past fortnight!
The second drawback is that the new genre system designated the Movies Indie channel as a junkyard for anything foreign, non-mainstream or low-budget. Which basically means that you are not going to see a French comedy on the Family channel or a Pedro Almodóvar's drama on Modern Greats - being foreign they are designated to the indie channel, even though there is nothing indie about French slapstick. Thus, the movies on offer across all the channels are mainstream, and of the worst kind - does anyone really care about the Flintstones prequel with one of the Baldwin brothers??
Which brings me to my final grievance - the quality of the movies is atrocious. Sky invests mainly in numerous sequels (the third Shrek, the third Godfather and the second Hellboy are all playing at the moment) and cheap comedy trash that was slaughtered by the critics (10,000 B.C., Disaster Movie, Meet the Spartans and Superhero Movie all come to mind). There is no accounting for taste and we are all free to watch what we like, but it's unfair to cater only to the teenage segment of the audience, particularly when it's the adults who are footing the bill.
Overall, if you are a movie buff, or just looking for good quality entertainment, I strongly advise you from wasting your money on this Sky rip-off. It's better value to buy all the movies you could possibly want on eBay, or to borrow them from one of the many cheap online rental shops.
Take care and have a nice day :)
Sky movies is a sports package offered by sky, which can be bought as a package, and then you can watch films all day long. New films are added every so often, with brilliant films constantly being added.
Around 10 movie channels are in this package, and include, Sky Premier, and Sky Premier +1, with Comedy, Action, Family, Drama, Classics, Indie, Modern greats, and ScifI/Horror, all having their own dedicated channel, so there is always a film for you available.
Films can be watched in HD on Premier and Sky Screen 1, however the channels are still in standard definition, however this is likely to change in the coming years, as we make the move to HD programmes. These HD channels are more cost, and require you to have the Sky HD box.
If you have Sky+ then you can pause, record, rewind your favourite movies so you never miss a show, this is brilliant, as if you are out when your favourite film is on, simply hit the record button and you can watch it when time suits you.
This Sky Movie package costs more money to add on to the general sky package, however if you are a film fan than this is a great package.
Sky Movies is another of the Sky packages that I really do enjoy very much and is certainly a package that offers much choice in the different variety of movies that it shows throughout its many different movie channels.
The different movie channels certainly cover a wide variety of genres including premiere which is the channel where the latest movies will be shown, there is also a classics channel and also Family, Modern greats, Indie, Sci-fi & Horror, Action & Thriller, Drama, Comedy as well as Screen 1 & 2 channels as well.
It certainly shows a great variety and if you are a really into your movies then you really can not go wrong with this package at all. The Premiere channel is probably the main one as every saturday it shows new films that came out in the cinema aout a year before. It usually has about 2 to 3 new premieres every saturday which is quite good. The other channels certainyl cater for most tastes and being somone whole likes most genres that are out there it is great. The films do get repeated quite often throughout the channels but that is something you would expect.
The package i recieve myslef is the full pack each month that comes in at about £46 but I think that the Sky movies pack comes in at around £16.50 on its own. The channels can also be received in HD as well and at the moment I think there is around 6 movie channels in HD format at this present moment.
Overall Sky Movies is a fantastic packge and certainly one that will keep you entertained, if you are onto your movies then you cant go wrong in getting this package.
Sky Movies is Sky's very own collection of broadcsted movies.
The main channel of the collection of around 15+ is the Sky Movies Premiere and HD channels.
On Sky Movies Premiere there is around three new movies broadcast throughtout the week. Once the week is over these movies are spread throughout the other channels such as- Comedy, Action, Horror, Drama etc.
Generally movies appear on Sky Movies about a year after they are released in the cinema, so there isn't that long of a wait.
The movies shown on Sky Movies are as you would expect, the best there is. Such as - Harry Potter, Pixar Animated Movies, Click, etc
If you rent quite a lot of movies then subscribing to Sky Movies would be worthwhile. The huge selection and quality of movies is well worth paying the subscription fee for.
I always look forward to the Premiere movies making this the channel for movies. 10/10
SKY MOVIES comprises all of the Sky movie channels broadcast on the Sky Digital satellite television system in the UK. Together these are known as the 'Movies Mix' and need to be subscribed to collectively, the viewer cannot subscribe to them as individual channels. The price of subscription differs depending on the complete package you receive, but personally I receive the 'Movies Mix' and the 'Variety Mix' and pay £34 each month, although the 'Variety Mix' alone would cost £16 per month. I am therefore paying £18 per month for the privilege of receiving the Sky Movies package.
The 'Movies Mix' consists of a variety of channels, including those devoted to science fiction / horror, comedy, action / thriller, and family movies. As part of the package you also receive Disney Cinemagic (and a timeshifted version of that channel, showing the same programming but 1 hour later). It is also possible to receive Sky Movies HD1 & HD2 which are 2 high-definition movie channels, but as I do not yet own a high-definition TV set (hopefully I will in the next 18 months) I do not make use of those channels.
The variety of movies that the channels show is very good, with the films shown repeatedly at different times of the day so that if you miss the film you are looking for on one day you are sure to find a showing at another time on another day.
Overall, the Sky Movies package is well worth the money if you enjoy watching films on TV.
On Sky Digital you have about 10 channels devoted to movies, that doesn't include the likes of SCI-FI etc also showing movies on a regular basis. So if you like films then you're bound to be spoilt for choice. In a previous opinion I've said that Sky Premier is the place to find the films of the last 18-months that were big hits. Moviemax is the place to find those films that weren't anywhere near hits. Moviemax could be called the B-movie channel as a lot of it's output is made up of that stuff that goes direct to the bottom shelf of your local video shop. I'm talking about the stuff with pumped up titles like 'Maximum Force' and 'Target Vengeance'. Wither that or they're far cheaper rip-offs of bigger hollywood movies where some natural disaster threatens to wipe out mankind. Normally these movies feature stars that you've never heard of or perhaps they used to be the star of a 70's TV show. But you'll probably know that your career isn't going far when your latest movie is dumped to 10PM on a Monday night. Step forward Jean Claude Van Damme and Sylvester Stallone. However on occasion there are movies that were actually hits. Recent months have seen the likes of Zoolander make an appearance although I don't know why this wasn't on the premier channels. On occasion they also show a lot of asian films from the likes of Jet Li. This would be fine but they're normally shown as the dubbed versions which I'd say would definitely turn off the purists. With Premiership football Sky are able to give you multiple audio tracks, surely this kind of thing could be applied to foreign films as well? Now when there isn't a decent film on it's sometimes worth watching one of these B-movies. Not for the quality entertainment but more for comedic value. Some of these films feature some really bad acting and naff looking sets. It's great for a laugh, especially if you
get a movie about a large killer crocodile which looks like he's made of rubber and his CGI counterpart was knocked up on someone's home PC. During the morning you don't tend to get this excitement as it's reserved for the films that share the same plot most of the time. You could lay money on the plot either being about the death of a family member, something wonderful in a small community town or something involving a baby. It's all very naff and really only to be endured on those days when you're lying there ill on the couch with sleeping trouble. Thankfully Moviemax is part of the whole movie's package, there may be something for somebody on one given night but I wouldn't pay extra for these channels if they weren't in the package. You won't find a lot of widescreen presentation either as the majority of the output probably was only intended for TV anyhow. But would you care if you couldn't see 'Chance of a Lifetime' in widescreen? I think not.
To be fair to BSkyB, I do think they are done a fair job with their film programming, with Premier, Moviemax and Sky Cinema catering for different tastes in cinema. Premier and Moviemax are charged with the job of beaming the more popular breed of films, "blockbusters", to the screens of satellite subscribers. On Sky Digital, there are up to 4 different Moviemax and Premier channels, running different movies at the same time - a good idea in theory, but in practice, often pointless. The reason I say this is simple - Moviemax is far too guilty of playing the same films over and over again. I've subscribed to Moviemax and Premier since April 2000, and have seen schedules replicated with little care. Blockbusters such as The Phantom Menace and The Matrix are shown at primetime at least fortnightly, with additional screenings at less convenient times. So when it comes around to watching a film Saturday night, if you just want to sit in with a pint and a curry, you're left with something you've already seen, or a rental. That isn't my major gripe however. The main problem with Moviemax is that they resort to showing films that would otherwise end up in the 2 for £10 collection of DVDs promoted by Jeremy Beadle. Moviemax and Premier do show the odd new film weekly, but it is rare that these are anything worth setting the video for (Eyes Wide Shut and Phantom Menace being two recent exceptions). When you compare Moviemax to the likes of Filmfour and Carlton Cinema, you can really see how weak its schedules really are. Credit should go to Moviemax for offering no breaks for adverts during films, but these other two channels do the same. I personally think Moviemax and Premier offer little over Channel 4 in terms of quality film programming, you're better off saving the monthly subscription and getting rentals, or subscribing to Filmfour.
If you can only afford one Sky premium channel, make sure it ISN'T this one! If you have the Sky package (analogue or digital) then there is not much difference in price between having both or one of the movie channels (£1 per month). However, some cable companies and ONdigital offer it as a standalone. Time was, Sky's two first run film channels seemed to have an equal split of good movies (a cunning way of making you have both). Nowadays, they seem to put all the real blockbusters on Sky Premier, and the dross on Sky Moviemax. If you like a diet of American made for TV films, kung fu movies, and stuff that even Channel 5 would turn up its nose at, then get it - otherwise save your mney for a few bags of popcorn!
The daddy of all Digital Film channels you can now go up to MovieMax 5. I love watching films and these channels show loads of premiers. As usual with these film channels there are no commercials spoiling the films. If you miss a premier chances are it on one of the other MovieMax channels shortly after. I have experienced no problems at all with picture quality and sound on these channels up to writing this opinion. My only gripe with the moviemax channels is they repeat the films to often and 2 to three times a day you have the same film on apart from that you get a very good service which I would recommend to anyone who has the Sky Digital Package.
sky moviemax is a good film channel to watch they show you a film every 2 hours and most of them are good films not none of that cheap making of a film. they show a lot of new films and they do not repeat them that often which is sometimes good because they can show you more films but now it is on digital they have 5 moviemax channels so there are to many film channels to watch which means you can never make your mind up.
Sky movies has saved me lots of money on renting films out, I have a different way of subscribing to the premium channels. The movies are repeated a few times each month so I subscribe for a few months at a time, I do this with on digital, and if there is nothing on the tele yet something on the movies, a simple phone call and your movies are back on in about 5 minutes. By unsubscribing for a few months enables you to have a lot more movies to watch in one particular month. The main reason I have the movies is because most of the new releases are subtitled, as I almost deaf it is a great winner in my home. On digital has many different channels but the subtitling is automatic, you dont need to push 888 on the remote, you just set the settings to subtitles. As time gets on more and more films and programmes are subtitled. To rent a subtitled film you need to have a special video or a caption reader otherwise forget it. So for the deaf and hard of hearing the sky movies are excellent. If you took the time to work out the costs of renting films each month and then looked at how much the movie subscriptions are, you may be surprised to learn that it would be a lot cheaper to just get the movies from sky.

Machine Learning - On the Art and Science of Algorithms with Peter Flach
Over a decade ago, Peter Flach of Bristol University wrote a paper on the topic of "On the state of the art in machine learning: A personal review" in which he reviewed several, then recent books, related to developments in machine learning. This included Pat Langley's Elements of Machine Learning (Morgan Kaufmann), Tom Mitchell's Machine Learning (McGraw-Hill), and Data Mining: Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques with Java Implementations by Ian Witten and Eibe Frank (Morgan Kaufman) among many others. Dr. Flach mentioned Michael Berry and Gordon Linoff's Data Mining Techniques for Marketing, Sales, and Customer Support (John Wiley) for it's excellent writing style citing the paragraph below and commending "I wish that all computer science textbooks were written like this."
"People often find it hard to understand why the training set and test set are "tainted" once they have been used to build a model. An analogy may help: Imagine yourself back in the 5th grade. The class is taking a spelling test. Suppose that, at the end of the test period, the teacher asks you to estimate your own grade on the quiz by marking the words you got wrong. You will give yourself a very good grade, but your spelling will not improve. If, at the beginning of the period, you thought there should be an 'e' at the end of "tomato", nothing will have happened to change your mind when you grade your paper. No new data has entered the system. You need a test set!
Now, imagine that at the end of the test the teacher allows you to look at the papersof several neighbors before grading your own. If they all agree that "tomato" has no final 'e', you may decide to mark your own answer wrong. If the teacher gives the same quiz tomorrow, you will do better. But how much better? If you use the papers of the very same neighbors to evaluate your performance tomorrow, you may still be fooling yourself. If they all agree that "potatoes" has no more need of an 'e' then "tomato", and you have changed your own guess to agree with theirs, then you will overestimate your actual grade on the second quiz as well. That is why the evaluation set should be different from the test set." [3, pp. 76–77] 4
That is why when I recently came across "Machine Learning The Art and Science of Algorithms that Make Sense of Data", I decided to check it out and wasn't disappointed. Dr. Flach is the Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Bristol and in this "future classic", he left no stone unturned when it comes to clarity and explainability. The book starts with a machine learning sampler, introduces the ingredients of machine learning fast progressing to Binary classification and Beyond. Written as a textbook, riddled with examples, foot-notes and figures, this text elaborates concept learning, tree models, rule models, linear models, distance-based models, probabilistic models to features and ensembles concluding with Machine learning experiments. I really enjoyed the "Important points to remember" section of the book as a quick refresher on machine-learning-commandments.
The concept learning section seems to have been influenced by author's own research interest and is not discussed in as much details in contemporary machine learning texts. I also found frequent summarization of concepts to be quite helpful. Contrary to it's subtitle and compared to it's counterparts, the book however is light on algorithms and code, possibly on purpose. While it explains the concepts with examples, number of formal algorithms are kept to a minimum. This may aid in clarity and help avoiding recipe-book-syndrome while making it potentially inaccessible to practitioners. Great at basics, the text also falls short on elaboration of intermediate to advance topics such as LDA, kernel methods, PCA, RKHS, and convex optimization. For instance, in chapter 10 "Matrix transformations and decompositions" could have been made an appendix while expanding upon meaningful topics like LSA and use cases of sparse matrix (pg 327). It is definitely not the book's fault; but rather of this reader expecting too much from an introductory text just because author explains everything so well!
As a text book on On the Art and Science of Algorithms, Peter Flach definitely delivers on the promise of clarity, with well chosen illustrations and example based approach. A highly recommended reading for all who would like to understand the principles behind machine learning techniques.

Demystification of Demystifying Machine Learning using nuML w/ Seth Juarez
Going for a little Benoit B. Mandelbrot recursion joke here with the title.
Seth Juarez (github) recently spoke to Pasadena .NET user group on the topic of Practical Machine Learning using nuML. Seth is a wonderful speaker, educator and nuML is an excellent library to get started with machine learning in .NET. His explanations are very intuitive; even for people who have been working in the field for a while. During the talk and follow up discussions, there were various technical references made which went beyond the scope of talk. To be fair with Seth, he covered lot of material in an hour and a half; probably couple of weeks worth in a traditional ML course.
Therefore I decided to provide links to these underlying topics for the benefit of attendees in case anyone is interested in knowing more about them.

Causality, Probability, and Time - A Temporo-Philosophical Primer to Causal Inference with Case Studies
Causality, Probability and Time by Dr. Samantha Kelinberg is a whirlwind yet original journey of the interdisciplinary study of probabilistic temporal logic and causal inference. Probabilistic causation is a fairly demanding area of study which studies the relationship between cause and effect using the tools of probability theory. Judea Pearl, in his seminal text "Causality: Models, Reasoning, and Inference" refers to this quandary by stating that
(causality) connotes lawlike necessity, whereas probabilities connote exceptionality, doubt, and lack of regularity.
Dr. Kelinberg's work provides a balanced introduction to background work on this topic while breaking new grounds on a well-positioned approach of causality based on temporal logic. The envisioning problem is the problem of deducing the set of facts, possibly as the result of our actions leading to the decision problem. This is compounded with finding a timely and useful way to represent our knowledge about time, change, and chance.
In this ~260 page book, Dr. Kelinberg begins with a brief history of causality leading to Probability, logic and probabilistic temporal logic. The author then defines causality from various different facets, proceeding to causality inference, token causality and then finally the case studies. With practical examples and algorithms, author devises simple mathematical tools for analyzing the relationships between causal connections, inference, causal significance, model complexity, statistical associations, actions and observations.
Exploiting the temporal nature of probabilistic events, Dr. Kelinberg's research is a thought provoking and valuable addition to the scientific community interested in learning causal effects and inference with respect to time. Built upon the works of the likes of Heckerman, Breese, Santos and Young, this book will pave the way probabilistic reasoning researchers think about temporal effects on causality for years to come.
David Hume believed that the causes are invariably followed by their effects: "We may define a cause to be an object, followed by another, and where all the objects similar to the first, are followed by objects similar to the second." So, would you like a well written margin-annotation-laden text which provides formal and practical case study based approach to this somewhat abstract concept of causality? Then look no further!

On Bayesian Sensitivity Analysis in Digital Forensics
The idea of using of Bayesian Belief Networks in digital forensics to quantify the evidence has been around for a while now. To provide qualitative approaches to Bayesian evidential reasoning in the digital Meta-Forensics is however relatively new in the decision support systems research. For law enforcement, decision support and application of data mining techniques to "soft" forensic evidence is a large area in Bayesian forensic statistics which has depicted how Bayesian Networks can be used to infer the probability of defense and prosecution statements based on forensic evidence. Kevin B. Korb and Ann E. Nicholson's study on Sally Clark is Wrongly Convicted of Murdering Her Children and Linguistic Bayesian Networks for reasoning with subjective probabilities in forensic statistics gives an insight into an important development which helps to quantify the meaning of forensic expert testimony for "strong support".
The IEEE paper on Sensitivity Analysis of a Bayesian Network for Reasoning about Digital Forensic Evidence published in 3rd International Conference on Human-Centric Computing (HumanCom), 2010 is of particular interest since it has a comprehensive real-world list of evidence items and hypothesis.
Bayesian network representing an actual prosecuted case of illegal file sharing over a peer-to-peer network has been subjected to a systematic and rigorous sensitivity analysis. Our results demonstrate that such networks are usefully insensitive both to the occurrence of missing evidential traces and to the choice of conditionalevidential probabilities
one of the co-authors Dr. Overill has also covered grounds for A Complexity Based Forensic Analysis of the Trojan Horse Defence.
The evidence nodes are follows.
- Modification time of the destination file equals that of the source file
- Creation time of the destination file is after its own modification time
- Hash value of the destination file matches that of the source file
- BitTorrent client software is installed on the seized computer
- File link for the shared file is created
- Shared file exists on the hard disk
- Torrent file creation record is found
- Torrent file exists on the hard disk
- Peer connection information is found
- Tracker server login record is found
- Torrent file activation time is corroborated by its MAC time and link file
- Internet history record about the publishing website is found
- Internet connection is available
- Cookie of the publishing website is found
- URL of the publishing website is stored in the web browser
- Web browser software is available
- Internet cache record about the publishing of the torrent file is found
- Internet history record about the tracker server connection is found
- The seized computer was used as the initial seeder to share the pirated file on a BitTorrent network
while the following hypothesis stand.
- The pirated file was copied from the seized optical disk to the seized computer
- A torrent file was created from the copied file
- The torrent file was sent to newsgroups for publishing
- The torrent file was activated, which caused the seized computer to connect to the tracker server
- The connection between the seized computer and the tracker server was maintained
The authors conclude, exonerating the sparse evidence such that
The sensitivity analysis reported in this paper demonstrates that the BT BBN used in is insensitive to the occurrence of missing evidence and also to the choice of evidential likelihoods to an unexpected degree.
Our overall finding is gratifying because it implies that the exact choice of values for the inherently subjective evidential likelihoods is not as critical as might have been expected. Values falling within the consensus of experienced expert investigators are sufficiently reliable to be used in the BBN model. Furthermore, our results imply that the inability to recover one or more evidential traces in a digital forensic investigation is not generally critical for the probability of the investigatory hypothesis under consideration.
For some reason, this reminded me of a recent read SuperFreakonomics where authors devise a terrorist-algorithm with the following black-box variable.
"What finally made it work was one last metric that dramatically sharpened the aalgorithm. In the interest of national security, was have been asked to not disclose the particulars; we'll call it Variable X.
What makes Variable X so special?
For one, it is a behavioral metric, not a demographic one. The dream of anti-terrorist authorities everywhere is to somehow become a fly on the wall in a room full of terrorists. In one small important way, Variable X accomplishes that. Unlike most other metrics in the algorithm, which produce a yes or no answer, Variable X measures the intensity of a particular banking activity. While not unusual in low intensities among the general population, this behavior occurs in high intensities much more frequently among those who have other terrorist markers.
This ultimately gave the algorithm great predictive power. Starting with a database of millions of bank customers, Horsley was able to generate a list of about 30 highly suspicious individuals. According to his rather conservative estimate, at least 5 of those 30 are almost certainly involved in actitvities. Five out of 30 isn't perfect—the algorithm misses many terrorists and still falsley identifies some innocents—but it sure beats 495 out of 500,495."
Bayesian Belief Networks can definitely serve as a better probabilistic graphical model to achieve a improved visibility and prior/posterior probabilities for such network related algorithm.
pgm.HelloWorld() with Wainwright & Jordan
I have recently came across Wainwright & Jordan's paper on exponential families, graphical models, and variational inference and found it to be quite comprehensive and unifying introduction of the topic. Probabilistic graphical models use a graph-based representation as the basis for compactly encoding a complex distribution over a high-dimensional space. If you are familiar with Koller and Friedman's work on Probabilistic Modeling, Wainwright and Jordan's paper would provide a less mathenamtically terse and more unifying view of the area.
Graphical Models, Exponential Families, and Variational Inference
As compared to Pearl's work on Causality, this paper provides a contemporary look at Message-passing Algorithms for Approximate Inference, Connection to Max-Product Message-Passing and detailed insight into Moment Matrices, Semidefinite Constraints, and Conic Programming Relaxation. Due to it's clarity and detailed explanation, the background material on Graphs, hypergraphs, exponential families and duality is definitely worth reading even if you don't need a refresher.
In Lieu of Pearl's polytree approach, Wainwright & Jordan's work discusses Graphical Models as Exponential Families before delving into Computational Challenges with High-Dimensional Models. Later chapters deal with Sum-Product, Bethe–Kikuchi, and Expectation-Propagation, Mean Field Methods, Variational Methods in Parameter Estimation, Convex Relaxations and Upper Bounds, Integer Programming, Max-product, and Linear Programming Relaxations concluding with Moment Matrices, Semidefinite Constraints, and Conic Programming Relaxation. For a computer scientist, it is always interesting to observe the statistical perspective of machine learning. This contemporary insight into Graphical Models, Exponential Families, and Variational Inference was published in Foundations and Trends in Machine Learning which is definitely built upon researchers' earlier work on Variational inference for Dirichlet process mixtures and Variational inference in graphical models: The view from the marginal polytope.
As an appetizer, I would also recommend Bishop's chapter on Graphical Model.

Wanted to leave a lasting message regarding your input. Big thanks, you could have been harsh with that answer, but you were very friendly and informative. Keep it up mate.
hi could u help me plz what is the hit cap and crit cap for a dk in frost spec
Wanted to thank you for ur answer on the forums for the On A Pale Horse talent, sucks how i'll have to choose between blood and unholy, won't be able to have everything i have now as a DK. Which is Rune Tap, On A Pale Horse, and Master of Ghouls; in other words heals, speed, and pet. So useful the things i've gotten, they make me pretty hard to kill, anyways thanks agian for the answer on the forums.
Hey, sorry about my rant the other day. Your English syntax is really good so i assumed you were a native speaker At any rate, if you'll allow me to try to help with that one word 'threat.' You often use the word 'thread' which is how you describe yarn, or the groove in a screw or a forum post. Threat as applied to tanking is the term used to hold agro. Drohung is the german word (I believe you said you were German.) Threat used outside of WoW describes a dangerous dog or a hostile person (The dog was threatening me; The drunk man threatened to kill me.) I know German keyboards aren't laid out the same, (and were a mild pain to use for an American) but I thought I'd try to help a non-native speaker correct a vocabulary word.
Again, sorry about yesterday, I wasn't in the best of moods and I let that reveal itself on the forums.

CORPUS CHRISTI - The Nueces County Junior Livestock Show has gotten underway at the fairgrounds in Robstown.
Welding students from area schools took part today in the livestock show's welding contest.
Because there are so many students competing this year they were divided into groups.
Organizers say they're proud of these students who are going into a trade that will open major doors for them.
"A lot of these kids are from blighted and impoverished areas and it gives them opportunities. I have students that have been through our program who are making more than the superintendents at the school districts now and they've only been in the field 3 and 4 years," says Ellery Francisco, the director of the welding contest.
Meanwhile, the livestock show will continue through next week. A team roping competition will be held at 8 a.m. tomorrow, an alumni barbecue cook-off at 9 a.m., followed by a parade through downtown Robstown at 10:30 p.m.

text: /sigh. Per my whole strategy of "weekly calorie requirements"... and when you over indulge on a given day that you budget things out over the next few days. Well, I overdid it on Sunday. BAD. To make things worse, Today is the final day of a 3 month weight loss competition. There are 2 competitors left, one of which is me. Sunday was the wrong day to have a mental lapse in judgement. So I couldn't take my standard approach and budget out over 4 or 5 days.. I did it in 1.5. Basically from Sunday evening at 10:00 when I finished cramming my face until lunch time today I will have eaten only 800 calories of fruit, while being much more active than usual. All that fruit was eaten yesterday at lunch time. Oddly enough, I haven't really felt hungry through most of it. I was a little bit last night, but I think that was more "associative hunger" while my wife and son were eating dinner. I am starting to feel hungry now though. Basketball at 11:30 may be a bit rough today. Weight last week: About 186-187 (with shorts and a dry fit shirt). Weight Sunday night before bed after food: 191. (no joke. Shorts + water weight + food weight mixed into this) Weight this morning: 184 (in the buff) Should win the competition today. Will know sometime tomorrow probably.

By far the main attraction of Madurai is the great Sree Meenakshi Temple. This awe-imposing monument is the finest example of Dravidian temple architecture on this planet. Its Hall of a Thousand Pillars is a fabulous collection of elaborately sculpted and painted deities as well as other creatures from Hindu religious annals.
The extraordinary craftsmanship of the Taj Malabar can be envied even from the still, soothing backwaters of Kerala. As soon as you step into the lobby, you immediately feel calmed by the dark mahogany wood ceilings and soft lighting. The room's design will remind you of a romantic 1940s film.
The hotel's pool is a mixture of water and garden. The negative edge pool appears to melt seamlessly into the languid Cochin bay. From many angles, it is impossible to see where the pool ends and the sea begins. This pool paradise is the perfect place to read a book or bathe in the sun.
Whether enjoying yoga by the poolside in the morning, or a romantic sunset dinner with a loved one, it is a sanctuary of peace.
Meanwhile, it's a new radio collar now for tigress T-5 in Sariska. The radio collar on the tigress was changed by a team of WII,Dehradun, on Tuesday morning as the old one had become defunct.
The restaurants make you feel as if you've stepped into another world. Whether snacking at the hotel bar,Mattancherry, or sipping an exotic drink and listening to the soothing sounds of a live pianist, you are guaranteed to be surrounded by a luxurious ambiance.
Kalaripayattu, the martial art form of Kerala, is regarded as the oldest and most scientific of its kind in the world. Training in combat is given at the kalari (training school). The principles of kalari education stipulate that training in martial art begins with an oil massage of the body which goes on until the body is agile and supple. Feats like chaattom (jumping), ottam (running), marichil (somersault), etc., are then taught, followed by lessons in the use of weapons such as daggers, swords, spears, maces, the bow and arrow, and so on.
Kalaripayattu training is aimed at the ultimate coordination of the mind and body. The traditional training in a kalari includes specialization in indigenous medical practice too. Kalaris are also centers of religious worship. The general guidelines to be followed in kalaripayattu demand that once the course is complete, a person should undergo oil massage and engage in the practice of the feats regularly to help him keep in shape.
Preparations have begun once again for relocation of the Sultanpur tigress from Kota to Sariska. A team from the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), Dehradun, will reach Kota on Wednesday and will attempt to trace the tigress before relocating it to Sariska.
In its earlier attempt, the WIII team had failed to trace the tigress in Sultanpur. The team had tried locating the tigress between March 9 to 15 but its attempts proved futile, after which the team had to return.
The Sultanpur tigress had made its way from Ranthambore to Kota about two years back and till now it is staying there. Since the tigress can become a mother the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), on a request from the state forest department, has given the nod for its relocation to Sariska.
Meanwhile, it's a new radio collar now for tigress T-5 in Sariska. The radio collar on the tigress was changed by a team of WII, Dehradun, on Tuesday morning as the old one had become defunct.
According to officials in the forest department, "The old collar had become defunct for quite some time and we were able to track the tigress only by its pug mark. But now we will be able to monitor it well."
The WII team had reached Sariska on Monday and traced the tigress. "On Monday, the tigress was traced near the Suli Ka Nullah in the Sukola area. On sighting her we fired a dart and tranquilized the tigress, after which the radio collar was changed. The entire process just took 20 minutes and the tigress by then regained consciousness and was up on her feet," a source said.
In a new initiative, state-run helicopter firm Pawan Hans Helicopter Ltd (PHHL) is planning to connect Delhi with neighboring cities like Agra, Mathura and Vrindavan through chopper services for tourism and medical emergencies.
While Vrindavan and Mathura top the list of cities to be connected with the capital in keeping with high religious tourism potential, Agra, Muzaffarnagar and Meerut too are being considered by the PHHL for chopper connectivity, an official spokesperson said. A technical team of the helicopter firm has already visited Vrindavan and Mathura in the last few days and held discussions with local administration on issues like helipad sites, security and passenger facilitation.

Two sentences in the final paragraph of John Cort's lead article "Who for President? The Left is Split" in the September 2000 issue of Peacework were inadvertently omitted. We apologize and take this opportunity to print the paragraph entire:
In a recent issue of In These Times, a leftist magazine, James Weinstein, in explaining why he is voting for Gore, recalls that in 1948 the polls showed Henry Wallace at 12 percent in August. On Election Day he got 2 percent, and the Progressive Party followed him into oblivion soon thereafter. Something like that may happen to Nader and the Greens. The American system has a way of devouring third parties. Then again this year may be different. If so, the Democrats will have nobody to blame but themselves.

The win not only snapped the Aggies' three-match losing skid and gave league-leader Texas (13-6, 6-1 Big 12) its first loss in Big 12 Conference play, but it also ended A&M's nine-match losing streak against its biggest rival.
"It feels great. I don't even know what all the history is because I haven't been around, but I know that we are a team that has not beaten Texas for a number of years," first-year A&M coach Howard Joffe said. "Probably the thing that I feel the best about for our kids is that all teams in all sports go through ups and downs during a season. We unfortunately caught some injuries right at the most critical time of the season, and so it was sort of an emotionally big blow for our kids. We've had some very big Big 12 games in the last couple of weeks and haven't had our full lineup and taken some losses that we may ordinarily have taken. It was just a bad time for it to happen. And for them to sort of come out and play Texas, who is ranked No. 6 in the country, it was really a great team effort. Simply stated, I'm delighted and I'm delight for our kids. They deserve it."
The match came down to No. 2 singles, where A&M junior Nazari Urbina clinched the victory for the Aggies by defeating All-American Aeriel Ellis, 6-2, 6-2 to set off the celebration.
"I just tried to play my game," Urbina said. "Basically I was just trying to play aggressive. [Ellis] is a good player. I got to play her last year and I beat her also, so I kind of knew her game and her weaknesses. And today I felt better than last year actually, so it was a good win and I'm glad I got to clinch the match.
"When you come to Texas A&M and you know the rivalry that we have with Texas, it is a goal you have as a tennis player and as an athlete to beat Texas. I'm glad that we beat them, especially this year since it will be the last time that we play them in the Big 12. I'm very happy about it."
With the Aggies celebrating Senior Night in their final home match of the regular season, A&M's two seniors, Sheri Olivier and Lauren Santacroce, appropriately set the tone in doubles to give their team an early edge. The pair was on serve at 3-2 against Texas' Elizabeth Begley and Ellis at the No. 3 line before the Aggie duo reeled off four consecutive games to take a commanding 7-2 lead. The Longhorns fought off one match point and held serve to get within 7-3 before the Aggies secured the 8-3 victory.
"When I talk about a team effort, Lauren Santacroce and Sheri Olivier won their match at No. 3 doubles convincingly," Joffe said. "That absolutely helped us get over the finish line. There is no question that in today's match the doubles point was a critical item."
Texas evened the race for the doubles point as Lina Padegimaite and Noel Scott jumped out to a 4-1 lead en route to an 8-5 victory at the No. 2 line over Urbina and freshman Janine Erasmus, who was in the doubles lineup for the third consecutive match in place of Janelle Cuthbertson, who is out with an injury.
The crucial point came down to the No. 1 line. A&M's 50th-ranked junior tandem of Cristina Sanchez-Quintanar and Wen Sun went up a break at 6-4 against Krista Damico and Cierra Gaytan-Leach. The teams then held serve for the remainder of the contest with Sanchez-Quintanar punctuating the win by acing match point in the 8-5 victory.
Sanchez-Quintanar, the 8th-ranked singles player in the nation, then put A&M ahead, 2-0, at the start of singles as she improved to 7-0 in Big 12 matches with a 6-3, 6-1 victory over 62nd-ranked Damico at the top of the lineup. Sanchez-Quintanar, who fell behind, 3-1 in the opening set before winning 11 consecutive games to close out the match, also improved to 30-5 overall, moving her into a tie for seventh place in the A&M records for most wins in a season.
Begley got the Horns within 2-1 by topping Olivier, 6-3, 6-2 at No. 6, but 83rd-ranked Sun put the Aggies ahead, 3-1, with a 6-2, 6-0 victory over Scott at the No. 3 line.
Texas quickly overcame the deficit and tied the score at 3-3 after notching wins at the No. 5 and 4 lines. Padegimaite saddle Erasmus with a 6-1, 6-2 loss at No. 5, and Gaytan-Leach held off Santacroce, 6-3, 7-6 (4) at No. 4 for the equalizer.
With all eyes turning to the No. 2 court, Urbina had jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the second set before Ellis rallied to win the next two games. The comeback was short lived as Ellis hit out on match point, sealing the victory for Urbina and the Aggies, who tallied their biggest win since a 4-3 victory over No. 5 Southern California in 2004, when Joffe was an assistant coach for the Women of Troy.
"The whole team, we've been working hard in our practice and trying to keep improving and playing good tennis," Urbina said, "and today finally all the hard work that we have been putting into practice and workouts, it finally was worth it today."
"Ours was always going to be a team that at the top end of the lineup could play against any of the other teams in the country," Joffe added. "[Nos.] 1, 2, and 3 are awful good and I think played above par, because Texas up high has some very fine players."
The Aggies wrap up the regular season this weekend with a pair of matches in Oklahoma. A&M faces the Oklahoma State Cowgirls on Saturday at 2 p.m. in Stillwater and then takes on the Oklahoma Sooners on Sunday at noon in Norman.
A&M then returns home to host the men's and women's 2012 Big 12 Tennis Championships, April 26-29 at the Mitchell Tennis Center. To purchase tickets in advance, contact the ticket office at 1-888-99-AGGIE or purchase online at AggieAthletics.com.
