Social data – too hot to handle?
With 800m active Facebook users, 200m tweets per day and real-time data pretty much constituting the entire social web, it's probably forgivable that marketers are increasingly feeling out of their depth.
SMEs through to MNEs are salivating over the potential that lies in the masses of unstructured data across the likes of Facebook and Twitter. However, like being presented with a Christmas dinner and your hands being tied behind your back, without the necessary tools things could get messy and you might get burnt.
According to an IBM study, 82 per cent of marketing officials still rely on traditional research methods, despite the fact that the same percentage are still planning to increase their use of social media over the next 3-5 years.
Such results, baffling as they are, are not uncommon. Only last week I read in another survey that out of the 71 per cent of companies using social media and see measuring its value as the most important insight, only 17 per cent are actually assessing ROI. Why?
To put it simply, marketers are measuring the wrong things. People are making money of companies who don't understand social media yet. Fact of the matter is social data is not too hot to handle; you just have to find the right way to grip it, and believe me, marketing professionals will find that way sooner rather than later. More software for analytics could be the key – this is certainly IBM's prediction. I'm not going to argue.
However, IBM Marketing Executive, Marcel Holsheimer, did declare that we were now in the age of the 'smarter consumer.' I will argue with this. Consumers haven't changed; they've just gotten louder. Listening brings about knowledge and with knowledge comes power – good marketers know this. Brian Solis is calling it, 'The End of Business as Usual,' I say welcome to the age of the smarter marketer.

DULUTH - Duluth's tourism tax dollars for August is another record breaker.
The city took in nearly $913,000, compared to roughly $848,000 for the month of August in 2012.
The mayor's office told FOX 21 the summer tax revenue from hotel, motel, food and beverage is strongly on track to be the highest tourism tax revenue in the city's history.
But before victory is declared, officials are going to wait until September numbers are tallied up, which will come out sometime later in October.

Spring is for Speaking: JSConf, WordCamp SF, IACLSaturday, March 20th, 2010
I recently confirmed three different very exciting speaking gigs which I'll be doing this spring:
Postdoctoral fellow, McGill Linguistics.
I recently confirmed three different very exciting speaking gigs which I'll be doing this spring:
I recently have begun giving serious thought to what command chaining might look like in Ubiquity and the various considerations which must be made to make it happen. The "command chaining," or "piping," described here always involves (at least) two verbs acting sequentially on a passed target—that is, the first command performs some action or lookup and the second command acts on the first command's output.
A few days ago I penned some initial technical considerations regarding command chaining. In this post I'll be point out some linguistic considerations involved in supporting a natural syntax for chaining.
UPDATE: Contribute information on how your language identifies its arguments here.
When we execute a command in Ubiquity, in very simple terms, we're hoping to do something (a verb) to some arguments (the nouns). Every sentence in every language uses some method to encode which arguments correspond to which roles of the verb. Here are a couple examples:
He sees Mary.
彼が Maryを 見る。 (Kare-ga Mary-o miru.)
As speakers of English, you can read sentence (1) above and know exactly who is doing the seeing and who is being seen and speakers of Japanese can get the same information from (2). How do different languages code for arguments in different roles? There are, broadly speaking, three different ways:
We'll take a brief look today at these three different strategies, all of which a localizeable natural language interface will surely encounter.
As Google adds ten more languages to its machine translation service, it seems to be on its way to becoming the most convenient [[universal translator]] of the world's popular languages. Google's handling of languages of course isn't perfect, however—in particular, I've been complaining to friends for a while about the weaknesses of Google's handling of queries in Chinese character ([[Chinese characters|漢字/汉字]]) scripts. In this post, I run some tests using Google's Language Detection service to try to better understand its handling of Chinese character queries.
Chinese characters have been used all across East Asia, most notably in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese (the "CJKV"). Prescriptivist writing reforms in Communist China and Japan have simplified many characters, though. Some characters were simplified in the same way, some in different ways, and some in only one country but not the other. For more information, there's [[Chinese character|Wikipedia]] or Ken Lunde's CJKV Information Processing.
The issue comes up when you try to search for a word in Chinese characters which clearly came from one Chinese character-using language. From my experience, Google doesn't consider which language you are a user of, based on the query, and returns many results in other Chinese character-using languages as well.[^1]
A couple weeks ago I went to Chiayi (嘉義, pinyin: Jiāyì) to present a paper at the Linguistic Society of Taiwan's National Conference on Linguistics.[^1] I got a chance to meet some wonderful and kind Taiwanese linguists, make friends with some linguistics students, as well as explore the city of Chiayi.
Today at work: the military guy who has quite good English told me that he was very busy as our school is being observed next week by administrators. He then told me, "I'm busy to die."
While I originally thought he might have mispronounced "today," he obviously knows that word… I believe he was trying to say "我忙死了," a Mandarin resultative construction which could be translated "I'm busy to the extent that I will die." Obviously this is not literal… V+死了 compounds are a common form of exaggeration. It was a neat instance of grammatical transfer, though.

text:
Long before Katniss Everdeen was introduced to the masses in Suzanne Collins' bestselling novel The Hunger Games, children were put in equally gut-wrenching life and death scenarios in Orson Scott Card's much-beloved Ender's Game, which released back when Wham! was popular in 1985.
Set in a dystopian world where big families are strongly discouraged (over-population is just one of many problems), Ender (Asa Butterfield, Hugo) is considered an "extra" because he's already got an older brother, Peter (television actor Jimmy Jax Pinchak) and sister, Valentine (Abigail Breslin, The Call). If being the unnecessary sibling wasn't already enough to give him a complex, Ender is scrawny, pale and a regular victim of bullying. Basically, he's living out every teenager's definition of hell.
In what's the perfect set-up for the inevitable David and Goliath-style battle, Ender is also incredibly smart, a quality that isn't going unnoticed. While he doesn't know it at the time, Ender's knack for solving problems, his underlying sense of compassion without compromise and mature coping mechanisms are considered assets by a prestigious group of military leaders. As these higher ups strategize how to best solve the war on alien terror (more on that in a minute), Colonel Graff (Harrison Ford, 42) and Major Gwen Anderson (Viola Davis, Prisoners) have pinpointed the world's smartest children as the best hope for mankind's continued survival.
Turns out, seventy years before, a good chunk of Planet Earth was annihilated by the Formics, an unsightly but cunning ant-like species. Fearing that another attack is imminent, preparations are now underway for ending the alien race for good. Of course, this is where those chosen children come in. Thanks to their moldable minds, quick reflexes and computer savvy, they'll be playing a key role in saving the world.
As the titular character, Butterfield, who resembles a young Jonathan Rhys Meyer (Match Point), is perfectly cast. Not only does he fit the profile of a reluctant hero perfectly, but Butterfield also lends a real emotional gravitas to the film's central debate on the ethical and political implications of war, not to mention the rather timely issue of bullying.
Strangely enough, it's the adults in the movie who don't often fare as well. Ben Kingsley (Iron Man 3) has practically carved out a cinematic niche as the master of bizarre accents, but the one he's adapted for Ender is distracting and doesn't serve any real purpose. Along those same lines, Ender's parents are such a non-presence in his life that it's puzzling why the filmmakers bothered including them at all. Perhaps the biggest head-scratcher of all is Ford's take on the gruff leader who is doggedly convinced of Ender's greatness. Once again, Ford seems to have contracted another case of the I-don't-want-to-be-on-set grumpies, and in practically every scene, he looks like he's only seconds from telling everyone to get off his spaceship.
In addition to a handful of weak performances, the script also suffers from a surplus of insider lingo. With so much of the film's running time dedicated to Ender's elaborate training process, a lot of the dialogue thrown around doesn't mean much to anyone who hasn't fought in a war in space. Truth be told, the film would've been far better if more time had been dedicated to character development instead.
Despite getting bogged down in details that don't always add up, one still can't ignore Ender's greatest strength, plenty of fascinating big ideas. And that imaginative spirit extends to everything from the film's gorgeous special effects to that rapturous feeling of truly being transported somewhere else. Like Gravity before it, Ender's Game is the sort of movie worth seeing on the biggest screen possible. It also marks a promising beginning to a teen franchise with a broad range of appeal—and not a sparkly vampire in sight.

I will help find meaningful ways to acknowledge and publicize Penn State's long tradition of academic and athletic success, including the contributions of the Paterno family.
I will insist that the board re-examine the events surrounding the Sandusky scandal – including factors inside and outside of Penn State. We will develop a clear and honest understanding of these events that can be used to prevent child predators from harming children, at Penn State and elsewhere.
I will leverage my extensive experience as a professor and as a school board member to promote board reform that relies on the best practices of educational governance. This includes shifting the culture of the board toward a collaborative, inclusive, and transparent style of decision-making.
I will also play a leading role in visionary planning. This planning is essential in order to position Penn State to thrive in the future despite the daunting challenges of decreased state funding, rising tuitions, and declining numbers of college-age students in Pennsylvania.

It's Grey's Anatomy's 100th episode and the gang's all heading to the chapel because someone's getting hitched. But is it Meredith and Derek who end up at the altar? While one dynamic duo looks to make their love official, another pair appears to be heading toward Splitsville after a fancy dinner creates some serious tension. Also, George begins to question his future at Seattle Grace.
This week, Izzie takes on the narrator role and she's quick to point out, "The days that start out normal ... end up being the biggest." Though there's nothing normal about this day, the day that Meredith and Derek are set to say their "I Do's."
Izzie can barely contain her excitement over the impending Mer/Der nuptials. After all, she has painstakingly planned out every detail, with a little help from Derek's credit card. So what could possibly ruin this perfect day? The return of Denny, which can only mean one thing: a tumor.
Although the MRI came back clean, Derek was able to monitor Izzie's brainwaves during one of her hallucinations, which uncovered the "hidden" tumor. Is it operable? Based on Derek's conversation with Bailey, the outlook isn't good. So, if Derek can't save her life, what's the next best thing he can do for her? Let her have his wedding day!
Derek shares the idea with Meredith, who in turn, gives a heartwrenched Alex the news. While I was close to sharing tears with Karev, the waterworks didn't really kick in until Mer (with a head full of curlers) arrived in Izzie's hospital room to tell her, "This [bridal] dress is not for me!" Poor Izzie thinks Mer's gotten cold feet and is looking for an out. Slowly, Izzie begins to realize what Mer is really saying, just as a handsome Alex arrives in the doorway in his tux. Yep, Izzie and Alex are gonna get hitched!
Feverishly, Mer and Cristina go to work on getting Izzie ready for her big day and soon it's time for the new bride to pick her maid of honor. Cristina gets the gig, as Izzie tells her, "You tried to save my life. That makes you honorable." Cristina is at first stunned, but a look of humbled honor quickly replaces her surprise.
Finally, everyone's at the church, but Izzie finds herself stumbling half-way down the aisle. George rushes to her side to help her the rest of the way. In a symbolic move, George is giving Izzie away to Alex. It's an emotional moment, topped only by Alex's heartfelt and powerful wedding vow, "Today's the day my life begins," he starts, paraphrasing a patient's never-realized graduation-day speech. "Today I become a man. Today I become a husband... I'll be ready for anything...for everything."
And just what might anything and everything end up being for Alex? With Izzie's future in the air and the season finale on tap for next week, he might find out sooner than he thinks.
As one couple heads for holy matrimony, another couple prepares to call it quits after a fancy dinner causes a rift between Callie and Arizona.
For the most part, Callie took to avoiding Arizona as much as possible this week by claiming she was too busy to talk. Arizona sensed something was wrong and continually tried to get to the heart of it with Callie, who at one point insinuated work was more invigorating than being with Arizona, "I love the ER! Can't get enough of it. It's fun."
Hurt, Arizona quickly informs Callie that if she wants to end things, that's OK with her: "There are women lining up for me. I am hot!"
Callie then finally confesses it's not Arizona but Callie's financial straits that has her down in the dumps. All through their expensive dinner, Callie was too busy calculating the cost of the meal to enjoy the night. Yep, now that Callie's accounts have been depleted, dinners out aren't really an option anymore. So, the two agree being together is more important than fancy food — and ordering in pizza can be just as good!
The ER at Seattle Grace was busy this week when a group of college students en route to their graduation ended up in a tragic car accident. George quickly jumps in, but the extent of the injuries is so severe that he ends up losing the first two patients he works on, which quickly shakes his confidence. Feeling like he's in over his head, George soon turns to Owen for help, but finds none and is told to be on his way.
In the end, only one student can be saved — the Valedictorian, who suddenly begins questioning the choices she's made in her life. Should she have slept with her boyfriend (who died as a result of the crash), instead of putting her studies first all this time? At one point, Alex encourages the girl to recite her graduation speech to help get her mind off of everything else and so she begins, "Today's the day my life begins. Today I become a citizen of the world...." As the speech continues, we are presented with the gruesome images of her classmates being zipped up in body bags.
Meanwhile, after so many deaths, George contemplates his future in trauma. Will Owen's suggestion that trauma is a "team sport" keep George on board for this specialty? Time will tell.
During an otherwise emotionally charged week, some lighter moments existed when Meredith was presented with her first solo surgery as a wedding gift from Derek. The humorous aspect arrived when the Chief insisted on being in the OR with Mer to oversee things. Slightly offended, Mer quips, "It's my wedding day. I'm not going to kill someone!"
Indeed, the surgery is a success and the Chief tells Mer her mother would be proud.
While there wasn't much screen time for this duo, it was clear that when the two were together, Owen was reaching out to Cristina (figuratively and literally). However, Cristina was always quick to walk away before Owen could actually clamp his hand down on hers.
"Big day. Biggest day of your life. Do you need me to drug you?" - Cristina to Mer
"You just did that because I have cancer. You didn't mean it." - Izzie to Bailey after the two shared a high-five
"Then why aren't you sitting in a corner reading a magazine?" - Mer to the Chief during her solo surgery
"'Cuz we have trauma coming out of our butts!" - Callie
"I don't want to have to be his best man for a third time, if you know what I mean." - Mark to Meredith
"With all the mistakes I've made, I'm lucky the patient's alive." - Mer speculating on what part of her solo surgery would have made her mom proud
"Best non-wedding day ever" - Derek to Mer
"Beautiful, bald Izzie" - Alex lovingly talking to Izzie
"You don't recognize the biggest day of your life ... not until you're in it." - Izzie
So, now it's your turn to sound off on this week's episode! What made you cringe, what moved you to tears, and what made you laugh?
This week, Izzie takes on the narrator role and she's quick to point out, "The days that start out normal ... end up being the biggest." Though there's nothing normal about this day, the day that Meredith and Derek are set to ...

Orange Roughy Hoplostethus atlanticus
The orange roughy is one of the longest-lived fish species, with individuals having been recorded to reach at least 149 years old. It is a bright, brick-red color, but appears black in the dark waters in which it lives and this helps to hide it from predators.
The orange roughy is a deep-bodied fish with a large head, armed with spines behind the eyes and on the gill covers. The scales on the belly also have sharp spines. Orange roughy live in deep water in rugged, rocky areas and over steep, rough ground, and have a relatively limited home range.
Orange roughy are primarily caught with bottom trawls that damage the seafloor and catch any species in their path. Populations of the fish have been wiped out by overfishing and may take decades to recover.
What Oceana Does
Orange roughy are found near the Juan Fernández Islands, where Oceana campaigns to ban bottom trawling on vulnerable marine ecosystems. Oceana has made several expeditions to the archipelago.
- Order Beryciformes
- Length 20–30 in (50–75 cm)
- Weight Up to 15 lb (7 kg)
- Depth 3,000–6,000 ft (900–1,800 m)
- Distribution North and south Atlantic, Indian Ocean, southwestern and eastern Pacific

Google continues to make changes in different areas of their business. Apparently, how that business is defined is causing pains for Wall Street types which is rather amusing, but I digress.
The latest adjustment comes in how average search position is calculate. From the Google Webmaster Central blog we get an example of just how this is being done.
Let's say Nick searched for [bacon] and URLs from your site appeared in positions 3, 6, and 12. Jane also searched for [bacon] and URLs from your site appeared in positions 5 and 9. Previously, we would have averaged all these positions together and shown an Average Position of 7. Going forward, we'll only average the highest position your site appeared in for each search (3 for Nick's search and 5 for Jane's search), for an Average Position of 4.

The kids are asleep, as of 11:55 p.m. EDT. I've got candles burning in the same tealight candelbra that did a job on Grey Kitty's whiskers, lo those many years ago. I sit on the front porch as the rain cascades around me, letting me and my candles burn.
Oh, and I'm wearing a bathrobe, just to confirm that most hoary of prejudices against bloggers.
The kids will wake soon, and when they do, I'll be presented with offerings. One involves dirt. Or earth. Or something that requires earth. I'm all for it, though I nearly managed to kill my 'mater seedlings this weekend through a deadly combo of drought, too-close grow lights, and lack of fertilizer. (When my own fumbling incompetence rains down, I do wonder how my children continue to thrive. It helps that their CNS trumps the tomato's defense mechanisms. I guess opposable thumbs don't hurt, either. At any rate, my earth mother cred is shot to hell; just ask my 'maters.)
I will tear up at my children's sweet offerings, no matter that they felt obligated or spurred by a class assignment at school.
I will hug them and kiss them and keep their presents forever.
And yet, I still have a wishlist.
1) Can we get beyond the idea that women are uniquely suited to multitasking? Cordelia Fine just bulldozes this stereotype in her book, Delusionas of Gender. And more: Kevin Drum marshals the evidence that multitasking is folly for everyone, irrespective of gender. No wonder I still have a florid scar from the time when I tried to pull a baking sheet from the oven while ensuring that the mini-Tiger (aged not-quite-three) wouldn't get burned. (Guess who got schorched instead??) I keep multitasking, I'm liable to lose that opposable thumb. Picture a dog watering a tree. Picture a dog baking a souffle. The intersection of that? Um, that would be me. Multitasking. The combo of onions and knives is a particularly foolhardy ideas.
2) Can we please just "be excellent to each other," as Bill and Ted would say? The one thing I truly want from my beautiful boys is kindness. Toward each other. Toward me. They have mad skillz with their friends, so can we please bring those skillz home? Because, y'know, rudeness is a neurotoxin, especially when rudeness is spread among peer or near-peers. I'm well aware that another camp of researchers regards sibling arguments as healthy, spurring on their verbal development. May God, or some benevolent goddess, or my pal the Ceiling Cat save us from further precocious verbal development. We're already at a point where the least bad outcome could be a Amero-Germanic version of Alan Dershowitz. But back to the neurotoxins. My kids appear to bee more than fine. They chat; they argue, they wear me down. But my brain? It's in acute danger of rotting! Neural termites and mad-cow disease could hardly hollow it out any faster than the daily squabbles! No wonder the Red Cross recently rejected my blood on suspicion of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakobs disease, aka mad cow for homans. (True story.)
That's just my very personal list. I know theere's ooodles more to say about what other kids and mamas need – not to mention daddies. I realize that my personal wishlist is very much formed by the concerns and privileges of educated, middle-class mothers.As for what less-privileged mothers need – well, Katha Pollitt pretty kicked it into the goal with her commentary on the "Tiger Mother" flap.Please read what she has to say about class,mothering, and solidarity, and I'll just leave it at that – with the injunction that we should all be excellent to each other, to our parents and our children, tomorrow and always.
Happy Mother's Day to you all, be you bio-mother, step-mother, adoptive mother, other-mother … or just another exhausted multitasker of any age, gender, or species. May your day be crowned by candles, flowers, champagne, and the survival of your opposable thumbs.
And on those days when excellence turns to flatulence? Well, you'll still be welcome here at the Kitteh, where we recognize that being a child or a parent or just a fallible hooman is simply who we are. Welcome to the club. I'd light a candle for you, but I must admit it's rather perfumed, and you might just prefer eau de methane.
(Next up: our local Mama Robin, if I can manage not to terrify her.)

Here at ProBoxing-Fans.com, every year we put together a huge collection of boxing awards. All of the usual suspects are included, such as Fighter of the Year and Knockout of the Year, plus about a dozen other specialties.
But this year, we're expanding a bit, and offering a collection of extra Odds & Ends Awards. Check out the top 6 unusual highlights and lowlights for the year that was in the world of boxing.
Best Move in the History of Boxing Promotion: DiBella Ditches Hamer Live on Twitter
Lou DiBella is known as a promoter who speaks his mind. He certainly spoke his mind when Tor Hamer quit on his stool for the second time in his career. This occurred when he fought Andy Ruiz. Hamer started the fight out quickly, getting the edge on the highly touted prospect, but then just as quickly began to fade.
Without any particular hardship or taking much, if any, punishment, Hamer decided not to come back out for another round, a move he had already pulled, also in a televised fight. Well, DiBella had seen enough, saying:
"By the way, Tor, you are released. WTF!!!"
Doesn't get any better than that.
Best Network: Showtime Ousts Big Brother HBO
Showtime sent shockwaves through the sport with its signing of Floyd Mayweather. And by bringing aboard Mayweather, they not only got the fleet of up and coming Mayweather Promotions prospects, but also the huge Golden Boy stable. The network capitalized on its coup in a big way in 2013, not only hosting the Mayweather mega-events, but a slew of major cards. They've also been regularly putting on action-packed, four-fight cards, providing a ton of free fights for fans to check out.
In the past, HBO was always the "big brother" -- bigger budget, bigger events, and all the best fighters. Now though, Showtime is not only a major player, but they have the edge on their rival.
Best New Place to Fight: Barclays Center in Brooklyn
The brand new Barclays Center in Brooklyn has quickly established itself as the leading boxing venue on the East Coast. Many of those loaded Showtime cards mentioned above have taken place there, usually playing to packed and excited crowds. While they've been able to showcase many New York fighters on those cards, those fight fans are also eager to get a chance to see any top fighters.
In years past, it has seemed like Las Vegas and Los Angeles were grabbing all the fights, with an occasional Atlantic City or Madison Square Garden event tossed in. Barclays though is becoming a regular destination and a new go-to choice.
(Still) Worst Place to Fight: Texas
If you agree to fight in Texas, you have to be ready to be screwed, bottom line. It's our country's very own "Germany" -- a guaranteed trip to an outcome you don't want, but knew would happen. Whether it's an awful scorecard, a ridiculous referee, some out of the ring controversy involving drug tests or fraudulent investigations or who knows what else, Texas is a boxing nightmare.
Worst Trend of the Year: Nobody Cares About Making Weight Anymore
Sometimes fighters simply cannot make weight. They tried, they exhausted themselves and sweated out every last drop, but they're still a pound or two over. Other times, though, fighters simply don't try to make weight. Or they try for a bit, but then decide they've had enough, and that they'll just take their fine and fight anyway.
The other guy isn't going to cancel the fight, because then he won't get paid, either. The networks and the promoters don't punish anybody. The fans still watch, and then count the win as a win. So why bother making weight, right?
Something needs to be done because this is no longer an occasional incident, it has become a regular thing to expect, and it's absurd.
Best Ass Kicking We All - Admit It, You Know You Did - Loved Watching: Marcos Maidana Thumps Adrien Broner
Rarely has there ever been such a universal outpouring of joy amongst fight fans while watching one fighter lose as there was when Marcos Maidana handed Adrien Broner his first defeat. Broner deserved the beating for his classless behavior, and he learned the hard way, to the delight of fans everywhere, that you don't just get to walk into superstardom.

Legs 4 and 5 cover a flat 16 miles along the Snake River. Leg 6 is a very steep 1700-foot climb up Steptoe Canyon, and the runners who complete this earn team bragging rights, if they are still coherent. The climbing continues on Leg 7, but the course then becomes rolling or flat until the final climb onto campus at the end of Leg 10 where runners finish to the roar of the crowds in the WSU Fieldhouse. This is one of the greatest running events in the spring on the Palouse and there is always room for more teams!

LEVERKUSEN, Germany – With hopes of a fourth consecutive Spanish league title fading, Barcelona is turning its full attention to defending its European crown — which is bad news for Bayer Leverkusen. Fran Tarkenton Jersey . Both sides are having domestic troubles going into their meeting in Tuesdays Champions League round of 16 first-leg match, but it is arguably Barcelona which has more to prove. Saturdays 3-2 loss at Osasuna, coupled with Real Madrids 4-2 win over Levante on Sunday, left the defending Spanish champion 10 points behind its bitter rival, which has dropped only eight points all season. Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola suggested Monday night that his side was struggling under the weight of expectation. "You have the feeling that if we dont win the Champions League its a failure," he said, before rejecting the notion of European success as a "replacement drug" to atone for failure in the league. "The Champions League is always difficult at this stage. We know how close it can be. Thats why I dont understand this argument," Guardiola said. Barcelona defender Dani Alves put Saturdays setback aside, preferring instead to look ahead. "Of course the points difference is big, but were in a different competition now and we have to concentrate on that," the Brazilian said. Leverkusen has problems of its own, having claimed only one win in its last seven games while the club is at odds with its midfielder Michael Ballack. The former Germany captain hasnt played for Leverkusen since managing director Wolfgang Holzhaeuser described his transfer back to the club as a "failure." Leverkusen failed to win any of the three games in which Ballack remained an unused substitute, but any thoughts Leverkusen coach Robin Dutt may have had of giving the 35-year-old a final hurrah on the big stage were dashed Sunday, when Ballack tore a calf muscle in training. Ballacks injury is just the latest to affect Dutts side. Winger Sidney Sam and Switzerland striker Eren Derdiyok were both ruled out with foot injuries, the latter after stepping on broken glass in his bathroom last week. Leverkusen missed their attacking presence in the 1-0 loss Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, when the side looked anything but inspired. "On Tuesday, it could be a tick more difficult," Dutt said. Leverkusen is currently sixth in the Bundesliga on goal difference. "Were not dreamers but realists," said Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voeller. "We want to make sure of the Europa League place and secure international football that way." Leverkusen captain Simon Rolfes described Tuesdays match as "a classic David vs. Goliath game." Still, his side hasnt given up hope of progressing to its first Champions League quarterfinal since reaching the final in 2002, when Ballack was in his first stint at the club. "Miracles are always known to happen," Holzhaeuser said. Dutt, too, is drawing on positive thoughts. "You always think youve experienced everything in football. But you havent experienced anything yet. This story also has to be written first," said the Leverkusen coach. Nonetheless, Dutt is aware of the monumental task his side faces. "Barcelona are better than Spain. You only have a chance when you get your tactics perfect and Barcelona have a bad day," he said, before joking that a 5-0 win would suit Leverkusen just fine. Barcelona captain Carles Puyol insisted that the Catalans were focused on all competitions after enduring only their second loss of the season. "Well fight to the end in all three competitions, whoever thinks the opposite is wrong," he warned on Sunday. Puyol said the players were "not machines" that could be connected one day and disconnected the next. "We have to give everything every game, and well do this until the end of the season." Guardiola spared Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez from Osasunas frozen pitch with Tuesdays game in mind. Cesc Fabregas made only a late appearance from the bench meaning the visitors will have an almost fully fit squad, apart from the long-term absences of David Villa and Ibrahim Afellay. Midfielder Sergio Busquets was the main doubt after missing two games but travelled with the team to Germany. "He completed most of (Mondays) training," Guardiola said. "Well see how he progresses and make a decision then." Guardiola has been using a number of reserve players recently, with wingers Isaac Cuenca and Cristian Tello making significant impacts, while midfielder Sergi Roberto started on Saturday alongside Thiago Alcantara. But all signs point to the return of Xavi and Iniesta on Tuesday, which could help to spark a sub-par Lionel Messi to reach his own lofty heights. "Our target is to play to get to the quarterfinals and then take it step by step," Guardiola said. He played down Barcelonas chances of becoming the first side since AC Milan in 1990 to successfully defend its European crown. "Times have changed since Milan last did it. Nobody else has done it since, so it shows how difficult it is," he said. Instead, Guardiola — a former Barcelona midfielder — pointed to what his players had already achieved. "These guys are part of the history of football and theyre going to try to win it again," he said. Leverkusen is happy to play a part in that history. "Weve been looking forward to this game for weeks, for the fans and for our young players to play against the worlds best team," Voeller said. "Of course its a dream." Voeller, a former Germany striker and coach, said his side would "of course" attempt to get a positive result against Barcelona. "But they arent quite so bad. You look at them sometimes and say, Ah, how lovely they play. For the players its great to see at first hand how they do it and why they are so good." __ AP Sports Writer Paul Logothetis contributed from Madrid. Kyle Rudolph Jersey . Sanchez was among a group of five riders who broke away on the final ascent of the day, the Mur de Peguere, as the three-week race entered the Pyrenees on Sunday. He then made his decisive move 11 kilometres (7 miles) from the finish to claim his fourth Tour stage win. Percy Harvin Jersey . Their shock was even greater when that advantage was gone, and they were suddenly locked in a tie game in the opening minute of the third period. In the end, it all worked out for the Devils, who got another surprising goal from fourth-line forward Ryan Carter in the closing minutes and escaped with a win that put New Jersey on the brink of a spot in the Stanley Cup finals. http://www.nflnikeminnesotavikings.com/chris-doleman-jersey .B). As part of the approval, BCE and Rogers will be required to spend $7.5 million over the next seven years on new sports-themed programming by Canadian independent producers. The federal broadcast regulator also repeated its assertion that companies are prohibited from offering television programs on an exclusive basis to their mobile or Internet subscribers. Christian Ponder Jersey . Come Thursday, Gibson reconsidered. "Hes got a chance of doing damage," Gibson explained before Thursdays game against the Pirates. "Hes due." Kubel sure was. Kubel homered twice, Joe Saunders pitched seven effective innings and the Diamondbacks beat Pittsburgh 6-3 on Thursday. Christian Ponder Womens Jersey . Murray will face No. 1 seed Roger Federer of Switzerland for the gold medal in a rematch of the Wimbledon final in July, a match Federer won 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4. HOUSTON —Make no mistake about it, things arent pretty for the Houston Astros. They have the worst record in baseball and are barrelling toward their second straight 100-loss season. But on Friday night this terrible team walked off the field winners after a dramatic ninth-inning rally for a 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. Brian Bogusevics RBI single in the ninth inning capped the Astros two-run rally. It was the first win this season for Houston in its last at-bat and breaks a five-game losing streak. It was Houstons first walk-off win since last Sept. 26, according to STATS LLC. "It was a good feeling. Theyre fun and when you wait this long for one its really fun," Bogusevic said of walk-off wins. "Its been a long time since weve had some good things happen for us. Weve played a lot of close games but havent come out with wins." The Astros won for the fifth time in 39 games. The only team since 1900 to lose at least 35 times in a 39-game span was the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics, who finished 36-117 under Hall of Fame manager Connie Mack, according to STATS. Wilton Lopez (4-1) struck out two in a perfect ninth inning for the win. Houston manager Brad Mills has talked day after day about wanting to see his team be rewarded for its improvement. He couldnt stop smiling after the National Leagues youngest team finally was. "It was just good for them to get something for it," he said. "The coaches have been doing a great job of keeping the guys upbeat. The guys were just thrilled to death, and its nice to see, no doubt." The Brewers have lost 10 straight on the road for the first time since 1992. Houston trailed 3-2 entering the ninth. Brett Wallace walked with no outs and was replaced by pinch-runner Tyler Greene, who was making his Astros debut after being acquired in a trade with St. Louis on Thursday. He stole second base and advanced to third on a wild pitch by John Axford (4-7), who was charged with his eighth blown save. "I dont know if Ill keep using (Axford) there or not," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. "Maybe depending on the matchups, well give him a chance. We thought this was a good opportunity to get him in there and get him back to the guy that we know he is." Steve Pearces RBI single to centre tied it at 3. "You could tell something good was going to happen," Pearce said of Houstons momentum growing in the ninth. Adrian Peterson Jersey. "You could see the body language of the pitcher, the crowd, and you could feel it coming." Pearce advanced to second on the play on an error by centerfielder Carlos Gomez. Gomez made up for his miscue when he made a running, over-the-shoulder catch on a long fly ball to deep centre by Scott Moore. Bogusevic followed with a hard-hit grounder to centre to give Houston the win and send the Astros spilling onto the field for a rare celebration in this dreadful season. The players dashed to mob Bogusevic, who tried unsuccessfully to get away from the pack, sending the party into the outfield. "It was a really good inning, everybody did their job," Bogusevic said. "It was a bunch of things that needed to be executed that were all executed, which was really good to see because it hasnt always been that way." Indeed. Houston has struggled to get the key hit or pitch to close out close games this season. The Astros are 0-11 in extra-inning games and have 22 one-run losses. Rickie Weeks had a career-high three doubles for the Brewers. Houstons comeback win ruined a good night for Milwaukee starter Mark Rogers. He didnt allow a hit until the fifth inning and gave up three hits—all singles —with one run in a career-long seven innings. Rogers, who replaced Zack Greinke in the rotation, struck out a career-high eight with two walks. Carlos Corporan drove in Houstons first run with a single in the fifth inning and added a solo homer in the eighth. Houston starter Bud Norris yielded eight hits and three runs—two earned—in seven innings but didnt factor in the decision to end his winless streak. Norris hasnt won since May 21. Ryan Brauns double gave Milwaukee a 1-0 lead. Weeks doubled in the second, fourth and seventh innings. Each of the hits landed in almost the same spot in the corner of left field. Houstons first hit came with one out in the fifth on a bunt single by Scott Moore which dribbled down the left field line. Weeks opened the seventh with his third double and scored on a single by Jean Segura to put Milwaukee ahead 3-1. NOTES: Houston recalled OF Fernando Martinez from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday. ... Milwaukee RHP Shaun Marcum, on the 60-day DL with right elbow tightness, is on a rehabilitation assignment with Single-A Wisconsin. ' ' '

I would have to say it's been an up and down start to the year. My news pages in this issue carry far too many obituaries. It was a genuine shock to hear of the passing of Colin Armes. Colin was a man of principle and someone never afraid to make a decision, and stand by it.
Of course this didn't always please everybody, but you don't hold your hand up for a job like Colin's if you haven't got a backbone. Personally I got on with Colin really well (I've been known to speak my mind occasionally too) and have massive respect for what he and Marie have given to the sport we love.
The highs couldn't have been much better. In an age when awards are given out because an athlete can run quite fast or jump a long way, this January's New Year Honours list contained the names of three fantastic people who, like Colin and Marie, have dedicated thousands of hours, for no reward other than the satisfaction you get from putting something back, to motorcycling.
So, hearty congratulations to Wyn Evans MBE, Agnes Cadger BEM and Colin Appleyard MBE, from all at Classic Racer.
I had my own honour over the holiday period too, when I was granted honorary membership of Amicale. The organisation was set up to preserve, and use, genuine Grand Prix machinery from the past and the membership is made up of owners of some of the best collections in the world.
To receive the news from the president Bernard Girardot-Miglierina that French former Grand Prix ace Jean-François Balde and I had been given this honour was wonderful news and a great way to start the year.
Enjoy this varied issue.

Update on Controlling Konsole via DBUS
Recently I wrote about controlling konsole with dbus. As I've begun to use that script for setting up my konsoles I, like others, have discovered that the tab title that you set with dbus doesn't stick. This short note shows you a workaround to make your tab titles stay put.
Even though I wrote the original post a few weeks back I didn't realize that I had a problem until now because I just this weekend upgraded the system that I use most often. Plus, apparently, I already discovered the workaround on my other system and proceeded to immediately forget about it as it took me a fair amount of fiddling to figure it out (again) today.
Before I actually (re)-discovered the workaround I did a bit of looking through the konsole code and noticed that konsole has two types of tab titles: one that's set with the function setTitle() and another that's set with the function setUserTitle(). If you don't set the one that's set with setUserTitle() then the tab title changes back to the default when you use the session. The problem is that the dbus interface allows you to call setTitle() but it does not allow you to call setUserTitle().
You can invoke setUserTitle() using konsole's menu via: Edit->Rename Tab or from the keyboard with Ctrl-Alt-S. If you set the (user) title that way you'll see that it now sticks. But that's not the workaround, since we're trying to control konsole via dbus going through and manually setting all the tab titles via the keyboard or mouse doesn't constitute a workaround.
The actual workaround on the other hand isn't without its flaws either: it requires you to change the shell profile, which means that since starting a session with a specified profile via dbus doesn't work yet, you can't have both behaviors at the same time.
After that long-winded prolog, the workaround is quite simple: using konsole's menu do: Settings->Edit Current Profile..., go to the Tabs tab and clear both the Tab title format and the Remote tab title format fields.
This works because konsole doesn't reset the tab title if there is no default value to set it to.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.
