When Stacy was six and their parents were going through a trial separation (they split for good when she was 16), her mom bought mother-daughter season tickets to the playhouse near their home in La Habra, a bedroom community of L.A. Seeing girls just like her onstage in Annie "was it," Fergie says. "I wanted to be on that stage." She persuaded her parents to let her join Karen's Kids, a group that performed show tunes at the mall; got an agent; and by age nine had landed on the variety show Kids Incorporated.
By the time she joined the Peas, in 2002, she'd lingered in the all-girl trio Wild Orchid for a decade, frustratingly close to success without ever quite reaching it, and spent a year in a now-well-publicized crystal-meth-fueled haze. Meanwhile, the three founding Peas had built a following as a skilled, indie-leaning rap outfit on the L.A. club circuit; adding a (then very blond) bombshell to the mix put a serious dent in their credibility. That's where Fergie's natural fearlessness came in handy. From the beginning, whether they were opening for Metallica or A Tribe Called Quest, or playing a teen awards show, a local fair, or an underground club in London, she had one response, according to Will.i.am: "Let's go!" As Robinson puts it, "Another girl would probably have fallen to the wayside among those boys. You know, they're strong and dominant." Not Fergie.
Today, when Will.i.am brags that the group has gone from earning a thousand dollars per concert to raking in a million dollars a night, it's worth noting that Fergie is a large part of the reason why. With three No. 1 singles"Fergalicious," "Glamorous," and "Big Girls Don't Cry"The Dutchess made her a pop idol in her own right. For now, there are no immediate plans for a follow-up solo, but "if I want to, I can," she says. After going it alone, being back in "the four-headed dragon" has new appeal. "When it's my solo project, I'm the captain of the ship. But the way this group is structured, Will.i.am is the captain. I'm comfortable with that."
The E.N.D., which stands for The Energy Never Dies, has a simple message, she says: "Forget about your problems, the job crisis, your bills. Let's just escape for awhile." Its futuristic, electro-flavored beats bring the group back to where it all beganthe club scene. "We love to go out and see what people are wearing, just kind of absorb the culture. That's how our friendship started," Fergie says. Married superstar though she may be, Fergie was out there researching with the best of them, though these days, she says, "I have school nights. I used to not have those."
Chances are, whether you like it or not, one of the album's anthems has already crawled into your brain and set up shop. With the back-to-back singles "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling," The E.N.D. set a record for 26 consecutive weeks at the No. 1 slot on the charts. In January, the Peas ended up snagging three Grammys (bringing their career total up to six), including pop album of the year; two days later, they kicked off an almost entirely sold-out, 100-date world tour that dwarfs any production they've ever done: flying motorcycles, a Starship Enterprise caliber DJ booth, and a semitruck-worth of chrome-plated, silver-studded Barbarella-meets-C-3PO costumes. The upgrade is something Fergie pushed for. "For my album, I wanted to arrive at the MTV Awards in a British buggy on hydraulics," she laughs. "It didn't quite work out that way, but, yes, I have all these big, huge dreams."
Anyone who caught her slithering around in leather pants, blasting out a pitch-perfect "Barracuda" alongside Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart on an American Idol special (it's worth YouTubeing if you missed it) knows there's more to this woman than we've already seen. Is Fergie the future of rock? Well, she's been "messing up the neighborhood," as she puts it, onstage with guitar god Slash ever since he heard her riffing backstage at a charity event two years ago. "This wasn't some girl who doesn't have any soul who somehow gets by in pop music," Slash says. "She blew me away." Believe it: She's the only person outside of Guns N' Roses with whom he's ever agreed to perform "Sweet Child o' Mine." And guess who's joining the testosterone-fueled lineup (Ozzy, Kid, Iggy) on his new self-titled album? "I had all these fans going, `What the fuck are you doing working with Fergie?' " Slash says. "Get over it."
"Rock 'n' roll has been huge in my life, but I've never really expressed it as much," Fergie says. "I listened to Zeppelin, I was a huge fan of Guns N' Roses.... It's all there, it's all true to me. It's eclectic, and that's who I am." "Beautiful Dangerous" is an earthy, gritty, bona fide rock ballad that also happens to be the only one sung by a woman on the U.S. version of Slash. "Fergie is probably more rock 'n' roll as a human being than most people I know," he says. "She's just cool in a no-shit, no-frills, but actually very feminine, sexy, independent-woman kind of way. She's brash, and she's got balls, and she can sing whatever the fuck she wants."
Fergie's career may center largely on bringing guys to their knees (and simultaneously emboldening female fans to locate their own inner sex bomb), but deep down, she insists, "I'm a relationship girl, a romantic"though she admits this wasn't always so. "When I was younger, I used to be the cheater," she says, quickly adding: "I'm not talking about going all the wayI wasn't doing that in high school! But I'd have boyfriends, and then spring break would come around and I'd be a little bit naughty."
She met Duhamel during her guest spot on his former TV show Las Vegas. He had previously admitted to having a crush on her in the press; when they met, he blurted out that she was hot. Six years later, she says, "You grow a deeper love for each other, besides the initial lust and falling in love and all of that. You come to know each other a lot better, you grow together, and it makes you love each other that much deeper."

"Annie Edson Taylor (1838–1921) was an American adventurer who, on her 63rd birthday became the first person to survive a trip over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Desiring to secure her later years financially, and avoid the poorhouse, she decided she would be the first person to ride over Niagara Falls in a barrel.
"The trip itself took less than twenty minutes. After the journey, Annie Taylor told the press: "If it was with my dying breath, I would caution anyone against attempting the feat… I would sooner walk up to the mouth of a cannon, knowing it was going to blow me to pieces than make another trip over the Fall."
"Her manager, Frank M. Russell, decamped with her barrel, and most of her savings were used towards private detectives hired to find it."

There are a myriad of issues that can arise in counseling. Fear, anxiety, sexual sin, depression and mood swings are all issues facing people in the church. Biblical counselors are convinced that effective counseling rises or falls on one's belief in the sufficiency of Scripture, which is profitable for teaching, reproof, correction and for training in righteousness.
The Counsel the Word conference will explore the theme that Scripture is sufficient to help people with their problems because Christ is sufficient for his people. General sessions will include topics like the sufficiency of the Christian worldview for understanding the difficult problems people face. Breakout sessions will feature leaders in the biblical counseling movement about how to minister to hurting and struggling people from the resources that Christians possess.
Join us for this inaugural event as we celebrate God's power to change lives through his Word. It is our prayer that whether you are a pastor, counselor, student, lay leader or faithful church member, this conference will further equip you to make disciples for the kingdom.

With less than three weeks to go until the primary, the crowded field of Democrats running for mayor clashed over stop-and-frisk and health care issues Wednesday night in a live debate that aired on NY1. NY1's Bobby Cuza filed the following report.
It was clear from the start: Bill de Blasio had a target on his back.
"Bill, you've been great the last few weeks on the hospital closures. But where were you for the first three years of your Public [Advocate tenure]?" said Democratic mayoral candidate John Liu. "It goes without saying."
"Let's be honest with the public tonight. If we're going to have a real conversation, let's tell the truth, Bill. No more of the flip-flop, or saying things when it's politically convenient for you," said Democratic mayoral candidate William Thompson. "Will the real Bill de Blasio please stand up?"
Some of the sharpest exchanges concerned stop-and-frisk, specifically, two bills the City Council is expected to pass Thursday over the mayor's veto that would create an NYPD inspector general and expand protections against racial profiling.
"Unlike the public advocate, who's really good at telling other people what to do but not always so good at getting things done himself, I tomorrow, I tomorrow will put legislation in effect that will have permanent monitoring of our police department."
"Bill, the New York Times has reported that that ad is inaccurate. Why don't you take that ad down, Bill?" Thompson said. "Stop lying to the people of New York City."
De Blasio responded that he supports both council bills and would replace Ray Kelly as police commissioner.
"I am the only candidate who will do the three things that will actually end the stop-and-frisk era," de Blasio said. "That is a fact, and I stand by it."
Quinn then ganged up on de Blasio.
"My question is to comptroller Thompson," she said. "I want to know if you're satisfied with the answer you just got."
Later, though, in a rare moment of peace, Quinn came to de Blasio's defense when Anthony Weiner asked if he was implicated in the slush fund scandal.
"Casting aspersions on the public advocate like that is just outrageous," she said.
Quinn's campaign got a boost after the debate as the Daily News endorsed her in the Democratic mayoral primary.
The candidates meet again in another televised debate a little less than two weeks from now.

So I just recently re-installed windows on my desktop and was installing my office365 suite (I'm doing the annual 5 seat license, so far I'm very happy with it other than trying to find the installer for each system, but that's a different rant).
I happened to pin them to my task-bar and it spelt out "pwn" and I found that funny so I wanted to share.
(I'm using Powerpoint a lot for my capstone at ITT if you curious why it made it to the task-bar. It won't be there much longer.)

Often among the most wasteful DVD features, commentary tracks tend to exchange edification for nonsense. Take one on the disc for S.W.A.T., last summer's hit firearms advertisement, in which actors can be heard goofing off to no entertaining end as their boss starts his spiel with ''My name's Clark Johnson, director of the movie 'S.W.A.T.,' not your basic summer action movie.'' Huh? Though his film rides on the feeblest of insipid plots, is intermittently sexually and racially insensitive, fetishizes things like guns and pool cues, is based on a long-forgotten TV show, features enough violence to attract boisterous young men but not enough to warrant an R rating, and even comes from the producer behind ''XXX,'' I suppose he's right.
Still, Johnson can be pleased with himself -- his movie, a box office success, does its job as far as basic summer action movies go, thanks to Colin Farrell as the thinly drawn hotshot, LL Cool J as the thinly drawn funny-fearless dude, Michelle Rodriguez as the thinly drawn chick in the house, and Samuel L. Jackson as their thinly drawn squad leader.
So it's unfortunate that the stars' considerable talents are squandered in the standard-issue extras. Production docs make explosive set pieces seem as interesting as a recitation of the California penal code. A dissection of the film's sound effects walks the morality tightrope when, no kidding, it provides a tutorial on how to work an AK-47. And a filmlet devoted to the original blip of a middling '70s TV program only makes one wonder why they decided to remake that show and not, say, ''CHiPs.''

Attock, Pakistan
In continuation of Crisis in Pakistan
The Nawaz Govt. in Pakistan looks like a forsaking child who depends on the enemies of his family for existence. Its irrefutable defeatist attitude towards the terrorists is evidence of not only its timidity but also of its indifference towards the very existence of Pakistan. It is now being claimed by Nawaz Sharif that he and the forces are one and on the same page if this assertion is true then it is beyond any doubt that he is going to give final shape to Saudi script of the drama. The shocking phenomenon is that those who claim to be leaders of public opinion whether Misters or Mullas are worse in their integrity than Nawaz Sharif himself. This critical situation is almost similar to the one which prevail in the Muslim world during the fall of Othman Empire. If one has a chance to go through "MIDDLE EAST FROM MUHAMMAD TO MUSTAFA KAMAL" BY SIDNEY NATILTON one will confirm that Pakistan's present day situation is worse than turkey of Sultan Abdul Hameed. But to save turkey God sent Mustafa Kamal Ataturk.

On March 19th and 20th 2009 took place the annual meeting of the MID-CBR (Marco Integrador para el Desarrollo de Sistemas de Razonamiento Basado en Casos, TIN2006-15140-C03) a coordinated project by the Instituto de Investigación de Inteligencia Artificial (IIIA-CSIC; Main Researcher: Dr. Enric Plaza), the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (GAIA-UCM; Main Researcher: Dra. Belén Díaz-Agudo) and the Universitat Ramon Llull (GRSI-URL; Main Researcher: Dra. Elisabet Golobardes). The aim of this meeting was to summarize all the work done, throughout the last year, reported all the articles published and the communications presented in the most relevant journals and conferences of the CBR community. There were also explained the current lines of research and there were proposed future collaborations. In particular, we can highlight some events of the agenda for the first day: Enric Plaza (Research Coordinator) started the meeting presenting the achievement degree of the project goals and the assessment of the different pattern's project outcome. All this information was reported in the official annual report sent to the Science and Technology Ministry.
Prof. León Chua visited Barcelona to preside over the examining committee of one of our former members and current collaborators, Giovanni Pazienza. On this visit, he had time to share his main discovery with us in the talk: "Memristor: 37 years later".
Through an unusual presentation, overhead transparencies, amusing jokes, technological explanations hidden in works of art, this endearing scientist brought the technology of the future closer to us.
To know more about this conference and the memristor, please refer to the full "El País" article.
This week started with the master thesis (PFC) presentation of one of our scholarship holder, Marc Aguilar. I could not attend his presentation but the attendants praised the talk and told me that Marc was fantastic and confident. For this reason, I decided to interview him and you will find below his impressions.
Interviewer: "Marc, were you nervous on Monday?"
Marc: "Well, as a person who is not used to speaking in public, a speech always makes you feel a bit nervous. However, after the first minutes, I forgot about that and felt really comfortable."
Interviewer: "How was the presentation?"
Marc: "The last days before the presentation, Albert Fornells and I had planned and debated what the content of it and the main concepts that had to be clear to the jury and the rest of the audience should be. I think I managed to explain almost everything we agreed to in a way I liked it. Obviously, there are thousands of ways in which to improve a presentation and I will work to develop better skills in that field."
Interviewer: "Could you briefly explain what your project consists of?"
Marc: "My project is related to melanoma's cancer, which is the most lethal skin cancer nowadays. In the framework of a bigger project named MID-CBR (TIN 2006-15140-C03-03), the collaboration between Hospital Clínic i Provincial de Barcelona (HCPB) and GRSI arose to help them face this disease and so did the opportunity to develop what finally became my project.
In it, a conceptual model of the melanoma's domain was defined –extracting the knowledge from the hospital experts–, a huge database in which to save all the information was created and a web management tool was designed and developed."
Interviewer: "Do you plan to continue this research line?"
Marc: "As I said in the 'future work' section of my presentation, there are two different threads that will be followed: on the one hand, in my master thesis (TFM) I will enhance the management tool and work on the migration of data. On the other hand, data mining will be applied to the data in the database to extract implicit knowledge or patterns in the context of project Next-CBR, the continuation of MID-CBR. Therefore, I am going to continue this research line for some months in my TFM project although I still have to make a decision on what path to take afterwards."
Many congratulations Marc and thank you for sharing this post with me!
What does the equation ZigBee + Cars = ZigBeeCars mean?
On March 19, ZigBeeCars will be presented in the Saló de l'ensenyament in view of promoting the engineering at La Salle. In a space of 35 square meters, offered by the EnginyCat program of the Generalitat de Catalunya, a spectacular racetrack will allow the public to drive seven cars at the same time through remote control from a PC. By means of this fun activity, many technical concepts could be brought to the students.
Further work of this project aims at incorporating AI to provide the cars with autonomy.
Hope you enjoy the activity!
Nowadays our society is worried about the decrease in the number of engineers and we do not understand why the profession that ten years ago was seen the job of the future, has not turned out to be so.
On the 22nd January, the program "Einstein a la platja" on BTV raised this question with experts who described the ideal engineer of the future, what skills should have, and how degrees should be adapted to recover vocational interest in engineering.
In a relaxed discussion, Ramon Ollé, president of the Business Engineering School La Salle, outlined a profession with more business concepts whereas Joan Amat, professor of Univeristat Politècnica de Catalunya, focused on technical abilities.
David E. Goldberg, professor of the University of Illinois, went one step further by proposing a social and entrepreneurial engineer. This new approach, with creativity as a backbone, highlights the importance of engineers in our society where they have moved from a secondary to a main role providing people with new and helpful devices aimed at making their lives easier and enjoyable.
The special session on Knowledge Extraction based on Evolutionary Learning in the 4th Hybrid Artificial Intelligent Systems (HAIS 2009) aims at bringing together researchers in Knowledge Extraction based on Evolutionary Learning to discuss new trends for the research in the field.
This special session intends to be a forum for researchers to exchange new ideas and present recent developments that address knowledge extraction processes by means of evolutionary algorithms.
We encourage authors to submit original papers as well as preliminary and promising works in the topics of the special session. You have until February 4, 2009 to submit your contribution.
See the CFP for more details.
Two weeks ago, one of the most important researchers in evolutionary computation visited the GRSI. After 25 years of an intense and extensive research on genetic algorithms, our guest, Prof. David E. Goldberg, focuses his interest on a new field, the entrepreneurship, where he displays his creativity to explore which non-technical skills an engineer should develop and how to adapt the training to attain these qualities. This new Prof. Goldberg's passion leads him to write his latest book, entitled "The Entrepreneurial Engineer". Some of his ideas are briefly presented in the Prof. Goldberg's interview by "El Mundo", in Spanish language.
Today, Núria Macià and Rubén Nicolàs have set and explained the basis of their work. Please, join me in congratulating both Rubén and Núria as well as their supervisors Elisabet Golobardes and Ester Bernadó and in encouraging them to continue with their work. The following provides a view summary of the defenses.
Rubén's DEA: At 11:00, Rubén started a nice talk on applying different types of learning algorithms, ranging from clustering techniques to CBR systems alike, to the detection of melanoma cancer. The talk was well developed and presented the hard work done on structuring the data and applying machine learning techniques to the problem.
Núria's DEA: Thereafter, Núria started with a nice reflection on the need for characterizing our learning problems to fully capture the sources of difficulties and link them to the properties of different learning systems. With no doubt, this is an ancient goal stated in many fields (and further investigated in areas such as optimization) that was sort of overlooked in data classification but that needs to be addressed to advance in the current research of pattern recognition. The talk quickly shifted to the impressing contributions already provided by the thesis. Núria's glancing back to some important lessons and pointing toward new promising research lines finished with the amazing talk.
Wrapping up: Many congrats Rubén and Núria!
Yesterday, Giovanni Pazienza received his PhD degree. The examining committee awarded the thesis and the presentation, entitled Aspects of algorithms and dynamics of cellular paradigms, with an Excellent Cum Laude. They also promised him a brilliant research career for his talent, dynamism, energy, and for many other of his qualities such as… "universality and fractality".
Many congratulations and we hope you keep being persistent wherever you are!
On Friday 12, Albert Orriols received his PhD degree. He presented his work entitled New challenges in learning classifier systems: Mining rarities and evolving fuzzy models with a magnificent mise-en-scène which deserved the most sincere congratulations of the examining committee, especially from Prof. Goldberg who remarked that it was one of the best dissertation defenses he had attended.
To be honest, it was not a surprise, you had worked hard for that.
Many congrats!
The International Conference on Pattern Recognition finished last Thursday in Tampa, Florida. 1631 papers by 3556 authors from 47 countries were submitted of which 1006 were accepted and grouped into 74 regular and 16 poster sessions. In one of the latter, we found a work on synthetic data set generation based on a class separability measure, a little participation of the GRSI leaded by Núria Macià , Ester Bernadó-Mansilla, and Albert Orriols-Puig.
The poster session was great, many people from different places (Cuba, Italy, France, Germany, Russia, Spain, and United Kingdom) were interested in the work and provided us with helpful suggestions to improve and enlarge our framework. So, many thanks to all of them.
S+SSPR, a satellite event of the ICPR, took place last week in the hustle and bustle of the University of Central Florida in Orlando.
Dr. Tin Kam Ho did a talk at S+SSPR entitled Data complexity analysis: Linkage between context and solution in classification. She explained that classification accuracy depends on both learner quality and intrinsic data complexity. So, changes in source data and feature transformations are necessary to reduce the data difficulty and to improve learner performance. Among her collaborators, she mentioned the work performed by Ester Bernadó, Albert Orriols, and Núria Macià. Data complexity is a large knowledge area which should be explored in many directions, Dr. Ho suggested some of them for further research, easier to follow than the conference indications.
This picture was taken by Dr. Ludmila Kuncheva, another invited speaker. With some nice pictures and a fresh touch of humor, she presented Linear discriminant classifier (LDC) for streaming data with concept drift. She provided a framework within which theoretical relationship can be sought between the window size and the classification error.
She is also offering a promising lecture in the ICPR under the interesting title Classifier ensembles: Facts, fiction, faults and future.
Prof. Pedro Domingos presented an impressive work summarized by the title Markov logic: A unifying language for structural and statistical pattern recognition. It is a powerful language that combines statistical and structural aspects of the input data. Models in Markov logic are sets of weighted formulas in first-order logic which are interpreted as templates for features of Markov random fields.
Finally, Dr. Horst Bunke presented Graph classification on dissimilarity space embedding. He proposed a methodology that consists in embedding graphs in vector spaces and then applying a statistical classifier to outperform classifiers that directly operate in the graph domain. It is a contribution towards unifying the domains of structural and statistical pattern recognition. We highlight a graph data base repository that contains data sets covering a wide spectrum of different applications.

Anyone who ever took an electronics laboratory class will be familiar with the fundamental passive circuit elements: the resistor, the capacitor and the inductor. However, in 1971 Leon Chua reasoned from symmetry arguments that there should be a fourth fundamental element, which he called a memristor (short for memory resistor). Although he showed that such an element has many interesting and valuable circuit properties, until now no one has presented either a useful physical model or an example of a memristor. Here we show, using a simple analytical example, that memristance arises naturally in nanoscale systems in which solid-state electronic and ionic transport are coupled under an external bias voltage.
One application of the memristor could be to create a new type of ultradense non-volatile random access memory (RAM) that would supplement and eventually replace today's commonly used dynamic random access memory (DRAM). Computers using conventional DRAM lack the ability to retain information once they lose power. When power is restored to a DRAM-based computer, a slow, energy-consuming "boot-up" process is necessary to retrieve data from a magnetic disk required to run the system. In contrast, a memristor-based computer would retain its information after losing power and would not require the boot-up process, resulting in the consumption of less power and wasted time.
Another potential application of memristor technology could be the development of computer systems that remember and associate series of events in a manner similar to the way a human brain recognizes patterns. This could substantially improve today's facial recognition technology, enable security and privacy features that recognize a complex set of biometric features of an authorized person to access personal information, or enable an appliance to learn from experience.
Prof. Leon O. Chua will extensible talk about memristor in Enginyeria i Arquitectura La Salle on December 12 at 17:00. Go here to sign up for the talk.
Prof. David E. Goldberg will embark us in an interesting journey that starts considering simple GAs and follows the road to the design of competent GA, breaking the billion-variable optimization barrier. The talk will be held in Enginyeria i Arquitectura La Salle on December 11 at 18:00. Go here to sign up. In what follows, further information is provided.
Speaker: David E. Goldberg
Title: Not Your Grandmother's Genetic Algorithm
Abstract: Genetic algorithms (GAs)–search procedures inspired by the mechanics of natural selection and genetics–have been increasingly applied across the spectrum of human endeavor. Genetic algorithms were also a primary ingredient in the rise in interest in the study of complex adaptive and emergent systems. Despite these salutary effects, some persist in thinking of evolutionary processes–and algorithms that rely upon them–as inherently slow, unreliable, and ad hoc, without much theoretical support. This talk briefly introduces GAs, but quickly shifts to a line of work that has succeeded in supporting GA mechanics with bounding design theory that has been used to demonstrate GA scalability, speed, and range of reliable applicability. Key elements of this theory are discussed to give insight into this accomplishment and to make the point that fast, scalable GAs may also be viewed as first-order models of human innovative or inventive processes. The talk highlights recent results in breaking the billion-variable optimization barrier for the first time. It also discusses recent experience with GA-inspired creativity or innovation support systems.

Title: The Creativity Imperative and the Technology Professional of the Future
Speaker: David E. Goldberg, Co-Director, Illinois Foundry for Innovation in Engineering Education
Abstract: The world (1) is apparently flat, (2) is being given over to a rising creative class, and (3) requires a whole new mind, but a common conclusion drawn from authors such as Friedman, Florida, and Pink is that technology professionals in advanced economies must excel at creating new categories of product and service, as returns to routine engineering/technology labor are declining because of the ease with which these tasks may be outsourced. This talk starts by examining the setting after World War 2 that has largely shaped engineering and technology education of the recent era. It continues by discussing the techno-economic forces that have affected the intervening time, and it considers recent work by Price in others to understand the essential characteristics and habits of tech visionaries (TVs) who currently help major companies create value through the effective bootstrapping of entirely new product lines. The talk concludes by discussing the newly established Illinois Foundry for Innovation in Engineering Education, including crucial organizational, content, and delivery innovations designed to promote effective and viral curriculum reform.

In a few days, you and Prof. Goldberg or Prof. Chua may pass each other in La Salle's corridors. And no, it will not be a mirage. Top researchers will walk around our Campus in December. The reason: two young talents of the GRSI, Albert Orriols and Giovanni Pazienza, are presenting their thesis, which are worthy of examining committees of a such level.
We recommend attending these presentations, not only for the quality of the work performed by these two PhD students, but also for the opportunity to meet the best researchers in their knowledge area.

Pedraforca, magic mountain and symbol of Catalonia, offers wonderful views of the Bergadian countryside and further from its four peaks. On 5 October, Albert Orriols climbed this emblem to place at the top the abstract of his thesis and mark the end of his PhD student time.
The who, how, and more details of the adventure are found in the remainder of the article.
The party, composed of members of the GRSI, members of the lab, and Fígols (a lifelong friend of Albert), escorted the valued document to the top, the summary of four pleasant and intensive years of training and research, especially of the fourth (the hardest because one must finish off the work).
The climb took place in a peaceful setting under a blue and sunny sky and was divided into three stages.
A calm, easy walk led us to the "Refugi Lluís Estasen", from where the courteous entourage saw us off.
Until the "Coll del Verdet", all was joy, energy, and there were some difficulties but we managed to overcome them. At this second stop, some of the troop were a little bit tired so decided to head back to base but no before encouraging us to carry on, reviving the spirit of the five who were left to continue the mission.
At the top, with one of us exhausted (Núria), Albert, excited by the atmosphere, formalized the event with the signatures of those present on the abstract and left the sheet in a safe place. This year, on 31 December, the witches of Pedraforca will have a really interesting reading matter.
The rest of the day was spent at a barbecue at Albert's home, where his parents treated us wonderfully. Thank you for your kind hospitality!
Finally, we can just say that this period for Albert will close with the thesis presentation on 12 December in front of an impressive examining committee: Prof. David E. Goldberg, Prof. Francisco Herrera, Prof. Martin Butz, Prof. Xavier Llorà, and Prof. Xavier Vilasís.
Good luck! It will not be an easy presentation (unlike the climb)!
The paper "Implementation of Traffic Engineering in NGNs Using Hybrid Genetic Algorithms" authored by Alex Vallejo, Agustín Zaballos, David Vernet, David Cutiller, and Jordi Dalmau won the best paper award the third International Conference on Systems and Networks Communications.

Many congrats Àlex, Agustín, David, and David!
Last Sunday, Loebner prize contest, the first instantiation of the Turing test, was held at Reading University, UK under the direction of Professor Kevin Warwick. What's this all about? The challenge is to test whether a machine can imitiate human behavior, including their errors and their limited capacity to perform certain tasks.
To know more about the Turing test, the Loebner prize, and the challenges that AI is currently facing, listen to the interview here, where Giovanni Pazienza and Albert Orriols discuss about the contest and the research in the GRSI group.
Albert Fornells won the best thesis award for the thesis entitled "Marc integrador de les capacitats de Soft-Computing i de Knowledge Discovery dels Mapes Autoorganitzatius en el Raonament Basat en Casos". The thesis presents a soft computing framework based on a case-based reasoning approach which integrates several soft computing mechanisms for prototype extraction and memory maintenance.
Many congrats Albert!
Late, but no too late to publish a photo about the presentation of Albert Orriols in the IWLCS (International Workshop on Learning Classifier Systems) in GECCO'08.
Congratulations and good job or in other words "Feliç sant Joan"
Francesc Teixidó (Xec) is presenting his work on building picewise linear regressors from sets of continuously-labeled data with a hierarchical evolutionary algorithm. Fluent spanglish and nice, clear slides! And the best: today night celebration for the success :). Hope to see the follow-up of the work next year in Montreal!
Today's agenda in GECCO: best paper nominees for GAs and EDAs. Therefore, going around to pick up some new ideas on enjoying nice discussions on several topics… and getting ready for tomorrow!
Still no pictures. But tomorrow, some labbies will be caught in action.
GECCO'08 has started with a fair enough amount of interesting tutorials and Workshops. Schedule for today: International Workshop on Learning Classifier Systems. Right now, we've seen very interesting papers on Pitts and Michigan LCS. Its seems that RL and knowledge representation is one of the most frequent topics dealt with in all the works.
Tomorrow: best paper awards sessions for EDAs and GA. So, stay tunned for more.

The special session on LCS: new Trends and Challenges in the 8th Hybrid Intelligent Systems Conference (HIS 2008) aims at bringing together researchers in Learning Classifier Systems (LCS) and Genetic-Based Machine Learning (GBML), with the interest of discussing recent and new perspectives for the research in the field. LCSs were introduced by John H. Holland as a way of applying evolutionary computation to machine learning problems. Since then, the LCS field has benefited from much research leading to competitive learners, with better theoretical support, and many applications. The special session aims to be a forum for researchers to discuss recent developments and future challenges of LCSs. We encourage authors to submit original papers as well as preliminary and promising works in the topics of the special session.
See the CFP for more details.
Albert Fornells is going to defense his PhD thesis next Friday, December 14th. Good luck!
The Research Group offers a postdoc research position for a period of two years, starting as soon as possible. Click here for more details.

Below is an explanation of the two main types of pressure washer. Whilst bar pressure is important the overiding factor in cleaning power is the water flow rate. More water = better cleaning.Home & Garden (sometimes referred to as domestic, DIY or consumer).Lightweight, easily portable and designed for regular use in a domestic environment, these machines range in power to suit the size of your cleaning task. Models featuring 'water cooled motor' technology offer greater performance, and top of the range machines are often fully loaded with accessories. Xpert or Professional (sometimes referred to as commercial or industrial)Heavy duty, robust and designed for maximum durability, Xpert or Professional machines have higher pressure and flow ratings, enabling you to clean with far greater speed and efficiency. These machines are not readily available on the high street or in DIY superstores and often feature upgraded components throughoutJargon Buster:• Bar or PSI: Bar is the most common measure of pressure. PSI = bar x 14.5.• Bar (max): This is the pressure achieved when the machine is first turned on• Bar (rated) pressure: This is the operating water pressure of the machine.• Motor size (kW): Motor size indicates power providing the machine runs efficiently. • Flow Rate (l/h): Higher flow rates enable you to clean large areas or objects fasterDid You Know:Pressure Washers use up to 80% less water than garden hosepipes.Pressure Washers are not subject to hosepipe bans if used for safety reasons, or if a suction hose is used to pull water from a harvested source. i.e. not the water mains. They are also not subject to a ban if used for commercial reasons, for example to maintain cleanliness, hygiene or company image.Important things to remember when using your pressure washer:• Always use an RCD when using electrical products in connection with water.• Never use a non-return valve at the pressure washer connection to a hose pipe.• Never drive over or lay items on high pressure hoses to avoid damage.• Your water supply hose should be a min of several meters long and unwound from its reel.• If you are using an extension lead, check that it is rated at min of 13 amps and fully unwound from its reel.

Can anyone help to identify this flower? (In Central Florida)
The blossom cluster is roughly 3" in diameter and each flower is in the shape of a five-point star. When opened, the center star looks like WAX and the outer star looks like white fuzz. It's a vine-type but rather than the climbing-type vine, it's laterals hang with the blossoms cascading down each lateral. I'd appreciate any information.

Nothing is Rotten in the State of Denmark
By Julian Upton | Published: March 2, 2010
Guest blog by Reflector, Pharm Exec Europe's Brussels correspondent. Denmark is still on the fringes of some European Union policies. Notably, it has not yet embraced the euro as a currency, and it keeps its distance from the common defence policy. But in one respect, its pharmaceutical industry has just shown that it is well […]
