Montreal Casino: The Best
This deserves three tips, so, the best is to use the same text in all of them:
Things to do: - The buildings and surrounding gardens are very beautiful, and deserve a visit, even without entering the casino.
Restaurant: - I had there the best Canadian meal. Fabulous in presentation and taste. The price… I don't know - it was included in the package. But I read a lot about free meals in the Casino, and wouldn't be surprised if the price stood far below the quality of the dinner. They have many more ways to get paid (well... not by us!).
Nightlife: - I couldn't imagine myself in a Casino with two kids. How to handle it? Well… it was perfect. A small preparation about viciousness and the need of self control, then a notion of budget and selection of priorities, and finally $5 for person (adults and children) as the present budget.
As you may guess, it didn't take too long to get rid of it, but the fun of carefully identifying the most amusing games, the conscious management of the progressively disappearing coins, and the discipline and tranquility shown when they ended, did, really pay all the costs.Related to:

Romados: Portuguese-Style Barbecue
There are lots of Portuguese rotisseries in the Plateau Mont-Royal area (considering part of this district is known as "Little Portugal"), but the most famous one is Romados. It's a mom-and-pop business that opened in 1994, and it's so popular that the owners actually opened a second location in another part of the city (the St-Michel area). You can eat in or take out, and the food is delicious. So if you want something quick to eat but don't want junky fast food like Mickey D's, Romados is where you should go!
Favorite Dish: Roast chicken, of course! They also have pork chops, chourico (Portuguese sausage), side dishes like fries and salads, and pasteis de nata.Related to:

Dirty Dogs: Fancy hot dogs and poutine
Dirty Dogs is a small restaurant in the Plateau, and they specialize in (what else?) hot dogs. But not just ordinary hot dogs - they have gourmet hot dogs with all sorts of toppings you wouldn't expect to see on a hot dog, but are totally delicious. Mac and cheese, steak, pulled pork, coleslaw, chilli (their own Dr. Pepper chilli), etc. So greasy, but so good!
They also have poutines of all kinds, fries (fried in duck fat), mac and cheese, etc.
The restaurant is small and doesn't have a lot of space to sit and eat, so many people order their food to go.
Favorite Dish: The Boss poutine is delicious (though like all poutines, it sits like a brick in your stomach for hours after you finish it!). It was actually one of the promoted poutines during Poutine Week in Montreal, which is why I decided to try it out.Related to:

Engaufrez-vous: Great artisan waffles
A Belgian oddity in Montreal's Portuguese neighbourhood, Engaufrez-vous specializes in waffles of all kinds. Plain or stuffed, sweet or savory, they have them all! We were even served some complimentary "waffle chips" while our meal was being prepared. This place's original, quality waffles manage to stand out in a city that is full of other brunch restaurants.
The prices are as varied as the menu: a single bare waffle is rather inexpensive (but maybe not all that filling before a day of sightseeing), while more complete "brunch" meals including coffee and fruit are also available.
Opening hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tuesday to Friday and 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Just look for the waffle sign on Rachel Street off Montreal's "Main!"Related to:

Bagels on Greene: Bagels and much more
After replacing R.E.A.L. Bagels sometime around 2010, Bagels on Greene has expanded its predecessor's bagel concept by adding a large selection of ethnic and vegetarian/vegan dishes. There is even a salad bar usually filled with Indian food, as well as tables to sit and eat both inside and (in the summer) outside.
To save money, go there early in the morning and take a look at the "day-olds" rack. It contains bagels from the previous evening as well as other pastries, which are very handy if you're visiting Montreal on a shoestring. Look also for the delicious and the relatively inexpensive veggie wraps: they make a great lunch.Related to:

999 Sushi: All-you-can-eat sushi
This is an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant in the Quartier Latin. Though it's not really a buffet - you read the menu, check off the items you want (all sorts of sushi, sashimi, etc, along with soups and appetizers like dumplings) on the paper provided, then the wait staff take it to the kitchen and your items will eventually be brought to your table whenever they're ready. So unlike a buffet, the food comes to you freshly made and you don't have to worry about it sitting on a table for a long time or other people touching it. Aside from the menu and food order forms, there are also cards with photos of some of their menu items (mostly the more fancy-looking ones).
The cost varies, depending on the time of day (breakfast/brunch is cheaper), the day of the week (weekdays are cheaper than weekends), the age of the person eating (it costs less for children and seniors), and if they're a student. For adults (but not seniors), it varies from about $15-$27. For children aged 4-5, it's $6-$8. For children aged 6-8, it's $12-$17. For seniors, it's $13-$23. If you're a student and show your student ID, you get an additional discount (I think it's 20%). Either way, you can pig out as much as you want!
Favorite Dish: Any sushi is delicious to me, but I especially like the ones with crunchy stuff in them (I think it's tempura?). The dumplings were yummy too, as was the green tea ice cream I had for dessert.
Note - the items written in red on the menu are available for dinner only, not for earlier meals.Related to:

Donair Cité: Taste of the Maritimes
Donair Cité is a small restaurant serving food that is typical of the Maritime provinces in Canada (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island). The main menu item is donairs - a type of wrap made with thin slices of beef (roasted on a spit), vegetables (onions and tomatoes), and of course, donair sauce (sweet sauce made of condensed milk and garlic powder). It's similar to a shawarma, but the donair sauce makes the difference. They also serve garlic fingers, fries, etc. So if you're a Maritimer who misses the taste of home, or even if you're just curious about Maritime fast food, this is the place for you!
On Monday nights, they have a comedy show called Comedy 902 (902 is the phone area code for the Maritime provinces), involving stand-up comedy by comics from the Maritimes (or who have Maritime ties).
Favorite Dish: Donairs! Real Halifax donairs! And the best drink to pair with it - a pint of Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale (also from Halifax).Related to:

Oishi Sushi: Japanese fine dining in Outremont
Oishi Sushi is a small Japanese restaurant in the Outremont/Mile-End area. It's nice and quiet, and the food is delicious. If you like sushi and can afford fine dining, this is a great place for it. My aunt and uncle took me there once, and we loved everything we ordered.
Aside from ordering appetizers off the menu, all you have to do is check off the sushi items you want on the paper they give you, then the waitress takes it to the kitchen. Then, they bring the menu items one or two at a time.
They also have a separate drink menu for beer, sake, wine, cocktails, etc.
They also deliver, if you want to order in instead of going to the actual restaurant.
Favorite Dish: All the sushi items I tried were delicious, and the appetizers were great too (especially the dumplings).
As for drinks, though the cosmopolitan I drank tasted a little like cough syrup, my aunt and uncle loved their tokyotinis (ginger martini).
For desserts - the green tea cheesecake was soooo delicious! And I love how the top was caramelized like creme brûlée (I LOVE creme brûlée).Related to:

Beauty's Luncheonette: Breakfast, brunch, and lunch
This diner is an institution in Montreal - it's been around for decades (and is still owned by the same family that opened it) and is well-known for its delicious brunch fare. Don't be fooled by the plain, easy-to-miss exterior - it's a nice little place and totally worth a visit.
The restaurant was opened in 1942 by a young Jewish couple named Hymie and Freda Sckolnick. Originally, most of their customers were factory workers who worked in the area (at the time, it was the garment district), but it quickly became popular beyond this clientele. Hymie and Freda's son Larry eventually joined this family business in the 60s, and even now in the 2010s, the restaurant is still running and popular as ever. Even when you come in, you'll likely be welcomed in by Hymie (the gruff but smiley old man with white hair).
Trivia tidbit - Beauty was Hymie's old bowling nickname back in the day.
Favorite Dish: I love the Beauty's Basic - a typical "American breakfast" featuring eggs (cooked however you want), pork (bacon, ham or sausage), and potatoes. I also love the smoothies, especially the apple pie one. My mother always orders blintzes - also delicious. The latkes are also worth a try.Related to:

Cafe Chat L'Heureux: Coffee and kitties
Cafe Chat L'Heureux (Happy Cat Cafe) is a cat cafe - they have several resident cats who wander around while people eat, and you can pet them and play with them while you're there. The place is also structured to appeal to cats, with lots of shelves, boxes, platforms, etc for them to climb, hide in, etc. There are grown cats, as well as kittens, and all were carefully selected for their friendly personalities and their abilities to get along with people and other cats.
The food and drinks are pricey, but good. You can easily eat a full meal there, as they don't just have little cafe snacks - they also have sandwiches, salads, etc. They also have vegan options.
Favorite Dish: The Tartine du Jardin (which includes a salad) is delicious. The Milady smoothie is also good.
Something cute - some drinks are served in a teapot shaped like a cat.Related to:

Seven: Italian Cuisine in a Happening Spot!
My boyfriend has this thing about not planning every single detail when we are on travel. So, I only made reservations at two restaurants and we played it by ear for the other evenings. This was one of them and we actually enjoyed the food and ambience. Seven is located on the ever popular Rue Crescent and on this particular Monday night, there was a lot of people out and about. I think because of the warm day and still quite warm in the evening, people said hey lets not stay home. Who knows but it made it much more fun to see all the people.
This is actually called Club Seven and turns into a nightclub in the latter evening hours.Related to:

La Sauvagine: French Dining in Old Montreal
I had made reservations for dinner at Narcisse Bistro. Upon entering the establishment and reviewing the menu, it was not as I expected and felt bad about leaving. I wanted to dine at a French restaurant and their menu appeared to me more Italian. So, we happen to pick this restaurant which is known for serving game such as vennison & wild boar. I chose the duck breast and duck confit entree. It was not as good as the duck confit I had at Bonaparte's. But over all the food was fine. My boyfriend had the vennison and wild boar but he didn't expect so little food. My daughter was happy with her French onion soup and pasta dish.Related to:

Laloux: Oo la la, Laloux! French Cuisine!
This restaurant was a recommendation from the concierge at our hotel. What a pleasant surprise it was! Not in the downtown area but sort of off the beaten path closer to a residential area. Small, quaint and classy. I started my meal with the soup du jour which was presented to me with a bowl to have white beans and minced carrots. A hot creamy soup concoction was pour into the bowl of vegetables and it was crunchy, creamy and buttery. Just amazing! My boyfriend start his dinner with the beef tartar which was different and delish! For my entree, I had the halibut and my boyfriend and daughter ordered the flank steak and french fries. The halibut dish came with Blue Mountain mushrooms. Only a few were on my plate. They had the best flavor ever! We enjoyed a superb meal and conversation. I would highly recommend this place to dine at!Related to:

Bonaparte: French Cuisine
This was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had! The ambience is amazingly quaint and upscale. Located very close to the Notre-Dame Basilica in the district of Old Montréal with it's coblestone streets. I started my meal with a green vegetable soup. It was unlike what I expected. A lentil and split pea puree just slightly seasoned, hardly any salt. This allowed the flavors of the beans to come through and it was delicious. I ordered the duck leg confit which was accompanied by a variety of vegetables and a delicious sauce. My daughter had the lobster stew. It wasn't really stew at all. About 1/2 a steamed lobster with a bit of pasta in a buttery vanilla sauce. The vanilla sauce complimented the lobster very well. The price of this dish (for being lobster) was quite reasonable. We ended our meal with the creme brulee and it was absolutely creamy!. We ordered a bottle of wine, two soups, three entrees and two deserts, the meal was just slightly over $200 Canadian. It was well worth it! The restaurant also offers a tasting menu which may be slightly less than we had paid per person.Related to:

Devi: Indian Awesome
Crescent Street in the west part of Montreal's downtown core is lined with restaurants and bars and is a hopping place to go on a warm summer evening. Our hotel was one street over from Crescent so we headed there looking for somewhere to eat. We required somewhere that had some vegetarian options and oddly enough, most of the places whose menus we looked at had very little to offer. In this day and age, most restaurants seem to have a bit more variety in that respect.
We found an Indian restaurant, Devi, and decided on that as Indian food usually has lots of vegetarian choices. The restaurant had a nice decor with bright stained glass lamps that were cheerful on an overcast and foggy evening. The wall next to where we sat had some sculpture inset into it that was actually quite interesting.
Ah but the food... The menu is quite large but in the end, having too much to choose from, we all picked items from the "Manager's Special", a fixed price three course menu, starter, main and dessert and had at least one vegetarian option in each. It was $29 plus taxes which we thought reasonable.
Everything we had was really good. They profess to using very fresh ingredients and it shows in the taste. The flavours really work well together and we couldn't get enough! Well, we could, but you know what I mean. We had a nice bottle of house red which complemented it very well and a zippy gingery cocktail to start off. The naan bread was a huge basket full and was grilled.
There are stairs to get into the restaurant.
You can reserve online. They deliver and do takeout.
Favorite Dish: I had an appetiser with blocks of marinated paneer (cheese) and a Lamb dish.

Memphis Urban Studio pays tribute to Auburn professor
- Sonia Alexander Hill
Hay-bale homes and tire churches don't bring fame to most architects.
For the beloved Auburn University professor Samuel "Sambo" Mockbee, these designs garnered awards, left a lasting impression on a generation of architects and served as the inspiration for a Memphis program.
Mockbee, who left a successful practice with Memphis architect Coleman Coker in 1991 to teach, died in 2001. Following his death, members of the Memphis chapter of the American Institute of Architects, sought a way to memorialize Mockbee. They established the Mockbee Memorial Committee that evolved into The Urban Studio, a program designed to identify opportunities to provide assistance to local non-profit organizations with housing and development in the community.
The Urban Studio is a spin-off of The Rural Studio, a program Mockbee and a fellow professor co-founded at Auburn University.
Jeff Blackledge, chairman of The Urban Studio, says that Mockbee found it wasteful for students to build projects in the studio that were destined for the trash heap at the end of the quarter. Mockbee brought students from the classroom setting to live and work amongst the poor families living along the Black Warrior River in Hale County, Alabama.
On a limited budget, the students use whatever supplies they can muster, such as old tires, to build needed housing and public facilities in the community. In the beginning, they would scavenge old barns for wood because they try to use recycled or green materials, Blackledge says.
Then, as the program won recognition, Mockbee was awarded a $500,000 genius grant and companies began to contribute funding, This allowed students to undertake larger projects such as a senior citizens' center.
In The Rural Studio, students not only learned the principles of design and construction on projects that will persevere, Mockbee's students learned the role of social responsibility in architecture.
"For me, the technical aspects of it weren't important. Ultimately that's not the reason for being out there," says Jon Tate, a former student of Mockbee's and an architect at Coleman Coker's firm, Building Studio. "What really had an impact and what made a difference is the social impact and seeing poverty and seeing a world I didn't know existed."
Though Blackledge, a principal architect with Archimania, never spent a day in Mockbee's classroom, he is interrested in Mockbee's work and philosophies. So, when AIA Memphis sought members to chair the memorial committee, Blackledge eagerly responded.
At first the group, consisting of Blackledge and three Auburn grads, threw around ideas like a group junket to Hale County or a financial contribution to The Rural Studio. But The Urban Studio was chosen as a better way to memorialize Mockbee.
"The consensus was it was more about trying to carry on his ideals of what architects can be doing and should be doing in their community and the creative process," Blackledge says. "Our intent is to focus on the process, and that's really what Sambo was trying to do is talk about the process -- about the interaction between the families and the students."
Facing different challenges in a metropolitan environment, The Urban Studio differs by including a revolving group of interns. However, they are not students, they are associates from various Memphis firms who already endure long hours and heavy workloads. Differing factors include more stringent building codes and limited resources.
"In an urban environment like Memphis you face challenges such as obtaining permits, working with licensed architects and following construction codes," says Craig Conrad, a principal architect with Hnedak Bobo Group, Inc., and former president of AIA Memphis. "You take the spirit of the program and you apply that and then you work within the guidelines."
So, these young architects will lend their design expertise. Licensed contractors will perform the physical labor. By aligning the group with organizations with established funding to provide affordable housing for the underprivileged, the interns can work on a variety of projects.
Greg Price, an intern with Archimania, was involved in the first project undertaken by The Urban Studio. The group met with representatives from Bruce Elementary, 581 S. Bellevue Boulevard, to redesign a concrete courtyard to be a pleasant, useful outdoor classroom. Though the project is still awaiting approval, Price says the process is a creative outlet.
"A lot of times as a young architect you draw other people's designs," Price says. "It's an opportunity for young architects to help the community and work out our own designs. Throughout school and throughout my professional career everybody knows about Sambo through his work at The Rural Studio, and he was loved by the architecture community. It's our own way to keep his ideas alive and give back to the community."
Blackledge is seeking another project with the Uptown Alliance, a community economic development ministry of Holy Community United Methodist Church.
According to Amy Moritz, executive director of the Uptown Alliance, the ministry is screening families to live in a duplex while counseling them to work toward purchasing a custom-built home.
Blackledge, also a board member of the Uptown Alliance, plans to involve The Urban Studio by designing a picket fence and a play area for the duplex later this fall. In about 18 months, they will begin designing the first home, he says.
Tate, who through The Rural Studio helped build the "tire church" and an open-air pavillion, says that Mockbee would appreciate that he was a catalyst for this program.
"I believe he hoped that would happen," Tate says. "His advice would be that this thing needs a life of its own. They need to take off with it and create something unique to Memphis."

Day 42 Brian's Awareness Tour
Today I got a late start because the 3 hour time difference made my teacher meeting at 11:15.

A System for Programming and Controlling Sensor-Based Robot ManipulatorsPublication Year: 1983 , Page(s): 1 - 7
Cited by: Papers (14)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1726 KB)
This paper describes an approach to programming and controlling robot manipulators which facilitates the use of sensory information. Robot actions are specified by declaring software servo processes which control the robot's various degrees of freedom. These servo processes can involve position, orientation, force, and torque information from the robot itself, or data from external sensors. Robot tasks are programmed by dynamically modifying the servo processes or by changing set points to these processes. Condition monitors, which have access to program and sensory information, detect the completion of program steps. View full abstract»

Restoration of a Feature Closed Class of Two-Dimensional ImagesPublication Year: 1983 , Page(s): 14 - 24| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1964 KB)
A restoration principle is proposed and demonstrated for a feature closed class of two-dimensional images. Any member of this class of images can be represented as an intersection of unions of half planes in R2. Images with corners as well as images with continuous curvature can be generated under this algebraic representation. All resulting images have a well-defined interior and a nonintersecting boundary. Knowledge that the image to be restored comes from this closed class of images allows for an image restoration algorithm that is superior to a point-thickening algorithm. The proposed restoration algorithm produces a restored image that lies within the image to be restored. For a random sample of n points known to lie within the image to be restored, the expected value of the residual area for the image with corners is of order (In n/n) and is proportional to the number of outside corners. For images with continuous curvature, the residual area is of order 1/¿n and is proportional to a geometric constant associated with the curvature of the boundary. The restoration algorithm offers insight into the consideration of the shape of the boundary in image restoration. View full abstract»
Markov Random Field Texture ModelsPublication Year: 1983 , Page(s): 25 - 39
Cited by: Papers (272) | Patents (3)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (6358 KB)
We consider a texture to be a stochastic, possibly periodic, two-dimensional image field. A texture model is a mathematical procedure capable of producing and describing a textured image. We explore the use of Markov random fields as texture models. The binomial model, where each point in the texture has a binomial distribution with parameter controlled by its neighbors and ``number of tries'' equal to the number of gray levels, was taken to be the basic model for the analysis. A method of generating samples from the binomial model is given, followed by a theoretical and practical analysis of the method's convergence. Examples show how the parameters of the Markov random field control the strength and direction of the clustering in the image. The power of the binomial model to produce blurry, sharp, line-like, and blob-like textures is demonstrated. Natural texture samples were digitized and their parameters were estimated under the Markov random field model. A hypothesis test was used for an objective assessment of goodness-of-fit under the Markov random field model. Overall, microtextures fit the model well. The estimated parameters of the natural textures were used as input to the generation procedure. The synthetic microtextures closely resembled their real counterparts, while the regular and inhomogeneous textures did not. View full abstract»
The Effect of Cluster Size, Dimensionality, and the Number of Clusters on Recovery of True Cluster StructurePublication Year: 1983 , Page(s): 40 - 47
Cited by: Papers (8)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (2100 KB)
An evaluation of four clustering methods and four external criterion measures was conducted with respect to the effect of the number of clusters, dimensionality, and relative cluster sizes on the recovery of true cluster structure. The four methods were the single link, complete link, group average (UPGMA), and Ward's minimum variance algorithms. The results indicated that the four criterion measures were generally consistent with each other, of which two highly similar pairs were identified. The tirst pair consisted of the Rand and corrected Rand statistics, and the second pair was the Jaccard and the Fowlkes and Mallows indexes. With respect to the methods, recovery was found to improve as the number of clusters increased and as the number of dimensions increased. The relative cluster size factor produced differential performance effects, with Ward's procedure providing the best recovery when the clusters were of equal size. The group average method gave equivalent or better recovery when the clusters were of unequal size. View full abstract»
Classification by ThresholdingPublication Year: 1983 , Page(s): 48 - 54
Cited by: Papers (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1874 KB)
A procedure is given which substantially reduces the processing time needed to perform maximum likelihood classification on large data sets. The given method uses a set of fixed thresholds which, if exceeded by one probability density function, makes it unnecessary to evaluate a competing density function. Proofs are given of the existence and optimality of these thresholds for the class of continuous, unimodal, and quasi-concave density functions (which includes the multivariate normal), and a method for computing the thresholds is provided for the specifilc case of multivariate normal densities. An example with remote sensing data consisting of some 20 000 observations of four-dimensional data from nine ground-cover classes shows that by using thresholds, one could cut the processing time almost in half.

Direct Computation of the Focus of ExpansionPublication Year: 1983 , Page(s): 58 - 64
Cited by: Papers (24) | Patents (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (5680 KB)
Optical flow carries valuable information about the nature and depth of surfaces and the relative motion between observer and objects. In the extraction of this information, the focus of expansion plays a vital role. In contrast to the current approaches, this paper presents a method for the direct computation of the focus of expansion using an optimization approach. The optical flow can then be computed using the focus of expansion. View full abstract»
Segmentation by Texture Using CorrelationPublication Year: 1983 , Page(s): 64 - 69
Cited by: Papers (33)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (4275 KB)
The correlation coefficients are used for segmentation according to texture. They are first evaluated on a set of square regions forming two levels of the quadratic picture tree (or pyramid). If the coefficients of a square and its four children in the tree are similar, then that region is considered to be of uniform texture. If not, it is replaced by its children. In this way, the split-and-merge algorithm is used to achieve a preliminary segmentation. It is followed by a grouping algorithm using the correlation coefficients and the region adjacency graph, plus a small region elimination step. The latter regions are grouped according to their gray level because texture cannot be defined reliably on very small regions. Examples of implementation on four pictures are included.

On Edge Detection of X-Ray Images Using Fuzzy SetsPublication Year: 1983 , Page(s): 69 - 77
Cited by: Papers (43)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (6606 KB)
The effectiveness of the theory of fuzzy sets in detecting different regional boundaries of X-ray images is demonstrated. The algorithm includes a prior enhancement of the contrast among the regions (having small change in gray levels) using the contrast intensification (INT) operation along with smoothing in the fuzzy property plane before detecting its edges. The property plane is extracted from the spatial domain using S, ¿ and (1 ¿) functions and the fuzzifiers. Final edge detection is achieved using max or min operator. The system performance for different parameter conditions is illustrated by application to an image of a radiograph of the wrist. View full abstract»
Optimal Quadtrees for Image SegmentsPublication Year: 1983 , Page(s): 77 - 83
Cited by: Papers (7)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (2500 KB)
Quadtrees are compact hierarchical representations of images. In this paper, we define the efficiency of quadtrees in representing image segments and derive the relationship between the size of the enclosing rectangle of an image segment and its optimal quadtree. We show that if an image segment has an enclosing rectangle having sides of lengths x and y, such that 2N-1 à max (x, y) ¿ 2N, then the optimal quadtree may be the one representing an image of size 2N à 2N or 2N+1 à 2N+1. It is shown that in some situations the quadtree corresponding to the larger image has fewer nodes. Also, some necessary conditions are derived to identify segments for which the larger image size results in a quadtree which is no more expensive than the quadtree for the smaller image size.

Application of a Multilayer Decision Tree in Computer Recognition of Chinese CharactersPublication Year: 1983 , Page(s): 83 - 89
Cited by: Papers (17) | Patents (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1319 KB)
A multistage classifier with general tree structure has been developed to recognize a large number of Chinese characters. A simple and efficient method of classifying the characters was achieved by choosing the best feature at each stage of the tree. The features used are Walsh coefficients obtained from two profiles of a character projected onto the X-Y orthogonal axes. Some algorithms for aligning the characters were compared and one of them was adopted in this recognition scheme. A high recognition rate of about 99.5 percent was obtained in an experiment with more than 3000 different Chinese characters. View full abstract»
Improved Speedup Bounds for Parallel Alpha-Beta SearchPublication Year: 1983 , Page(s): 89 - 92
Cited by: Papers (4)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (821 KB)
In this paper we investigate the ``mandatory-work-first'' approach to parallel alpha-beta search first proposed by Akl, Barnard, and Doran. This approach is based on a version of alpha-beta search without deep cutoffs and a two-stage evaluation process, the second stage of which is often pruned. Our analysis shows that for best-first ordering on the lookahead tree, this approach provides greater speedup than the Palphabeta tree-splitting technique, and that for worst-first ordering, mandatory work first provides only slightly worse speedup than Palphabeta.

Hierarchical Structures and Complexities of Parallel Isometric LanguagesPublication Year: 1983 , Page(s): 92 - 99| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1551 KB)
The relationship between parallel isometric array languages and sequential isometric array languages is examined. Their hierarchical structures are investigated and a hierarchy is established by introducing parallel context-free array languages (PCFAL), derivation bounded array languages (DBAL), linear array languages (LAL), and extended regular afray languages (ERAL). It is interesting to find that some fundamental aspects that hold in one-dimensional string languages do not hold in their two-dimensional counterparts. Some parsing techniques are also explored. It is shown that while parallel parsing grammars may be simpler to write and parallel processing usually takes less time than sequential ones, the nature of parallel parsing is very complicated. Finally, several future research topics concerned with parallel isometric array languages including their complexities, hierarchical structures, and application to pattern recognition are discussed.

Fisher Discriminant Analysis and Factor AnalysisPublication Year: 1983 , Page(s): 99 - 104
Cited by: Papers (1) | Patents (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (884 KB)
We show that information on the inherent structure of multidimensional data derived from a factor analysis procedure is equivalent to information obtained by Fisher discriminant analysis techniques, provided certain conditions, usually required in the factor analysis model, are satisfied. The results advocate the use of a factor analysis approach when Fisher discriminant analysis is not applicable, such as, for instance, in clustering problems. View full abstract»
Segmenting Dot Patterns by Voronoi Diagram ConcavityPublication Year: 1983 , Page(s): 104 - 110

This correspondence defines a signed distance, called ``internal concavity,'' on paths of the Voronoi diagram of a dot pattern. An algorithm using internal concavity to segment dot patterns is described. The segmentation algorithm produces subsets of the Dirichlet tessellation (Delaunay triangulation) of the dot pattern.

Packing Volumes by SpheresPublication Year: 1983 , Page(s): 111 - 116
Cited by: Papers (4)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (3515 KB)
In this note we present an algorithm for packing spheres in an arbitrary shaped volume. This algorithm is similar to Blum's transform in that it fits spheres into a volume, but it is different in that it fits only tangential spheres, and thereby the data reduction is larger than by Blum's transform. The spheres are of variable radii, which enables us to achieve a hierarchy of intrinsic volume properties, i.e., from gross to more detailed. The result of this algorithm is a graph where the nodes are the centers of spheres and the arcs are the connections between two tangent spheres. Analysis of computational complexity and the time and error considerations are provided. View full abstract»

The U.S. Navy's new Optimized Fleet Response Plan (O-FRP) was unveiled in a keynote address delivered at the 26th Annual Surface Navy Association National Symposium in Crystal City, Va., Jan. 15.
Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command Adm. Bill Gortney explained the changes to the new O-FRP, addressing Quality of Service and blending both Quality of Work and Quality of Life efforts by providing stability and predictability to deployment schedules over a 36 month O-FRP cycle. One of the highlights from his address was the Navy's efforts to lock in eight month deployment schedules for Sailors. These changes are intended to return a sense of normalcy to a Sailor's schedule by evening out the Sailor's family life and increasing retention rates and Quality of Work for their command.
"What's happened here is that over time ... we lost predictability in the way we generate readiness," said Gortney.
His address began by naming the problems with the current Fleet Response Plan, placing an emphasis on readiness through training.
"It doesn't matter how good the stuff is if people aren't there and they aren't properly trained," said Gortney. "Not only do they need to be on the ship ... they have to be there at the right time. If they show up after the training occurs just before deployment it's not going to work."
The plan aims to streamline pre-deployment inspection requirements and increase readiness by putting all the members of a strike group on the same maintenance and deployment schedule. Starting in fiscal year 15, all required maintenance, training, evaluations and single eight-month deployment will be efficiently scheduled throughout the cycle in such a manner to drive down costs and increase overall fleet readiness.
"The band is put together at the beginning of the maintenance period," said Gortney. "It's underneath a single chain of command for that entire three-year period. It's got a stable maintenance plan."
The plan puts a strong emphasis on training crews correctly.
"We're going to be training a lot of ships at the same time through that cycle," said Gortney. "A resource they need is trainers. We have to synchronize it so the trainers are there and everyone gets their reps and sets with the proper oversight that happens to be there and they're assessed at the right time."
The O-FRP is set to roll out implementation in 2014 with the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group after its current deployment. It will initially be focused on Carrier Strike Groups and eventually will roll out to all U.S. Navy assets from the ARG/MEU to submarines and expeditionary forces.

"I customized these invites with shades of purple and sage. They were SO cute!! I was worried it would be a very time consuming and frustrating task because I had to customize quite a bit including the main wording and didn't know if it could be done. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was and how nice their customer service is. The quality was very good and the standard paper it came in was nice and thick. These will perfectly compliment our outdoor, rustic wedding!"
"Text has enough flourish while still being easily readable - and the writing was not too small, which was a problem with other invites we had considered! Nice thick paper, back design did not show through to the front. Tree image was very clear, not blurry or smudged. Love this design!"
"I don't normally leave reviews, but I was so happy with these invites that I wanted to share my thoughts. The customer service was exceptional, the turn around rate for edits was fast and they arrived promptly. I had looked through hundreds of invites and searched several sites, but kept coming back to Wedding Paper Divas. Their prices were competitive and the invites are of strong beautiful quality. We needed clear wording with a delicate touch and these invites came through! I'm looking forward to mailing these out soon!!"
"We wanted something simple but beautiful for our casual city hall wedding and this fit us perfectly. We had it ticket cut and printed it on the heavy paper, then paired it with kraft envelopes and vintage stamps. (The 1990 love stamps with birds on them.) We tried the foil version of this design as well, but it just looked too stiff for us."
"My daughter loves these wedding invites in blush. They arrived today and the design team did a great job centering everything on the card. Again, just as the tea party invitations, I feel the smaller font is hard to read. These cards are keepsake quality. Thanks again for another awesome product. The back is pretty too."

CrystalDiskMark is a disk benchmark software that allows us to benchmark 4K and 4K queue depths with accuracy.
Key Features:-
* Sequential reads/writes
* Random 4KB/512KB reads/writes
* Text copy
* Change dialog design
* internationalization (i18n)
Note: Crystal Disk Mark 3.0 Technical Preview was used for these tests since it offers the ability to measure native command queuing at 4 and 32.
In CDM we see the IOPS performance in MB/s in the three 4K tests. As expected after seeing the performance on the previous page, the 4K read performance is down compared to Intel's 520 Series and OCZ's Vertex 3 Max IOPS, both with LSI SandForce controllers.
The V300, 120GB SF penalty, AKA the brick wall, kicks in at a lower speed than the other LSI SandForce 120GB drives we've tested. The QD1 4K is higher than the 520 Series and Max IOPS, though.

Doctoral composer Dan Tramte has had electroacoustic works selected for presentation at two international conferences in August of 2013: Nomos Delta will be presented at Festival Futura (Crest, France), and e u t h a n a s i a will be presented at ISSTC 2013 (Dublin, Ireland). Dan will be traveling to Europe to present his works at these festivals.
About the Program
The composition program at the University of North Texas is one of the largest and most diverse in the nation, with approximately 70 composition students and seven faculty members representing a variety of compositional aesthetics and approaches. Regular guest composer residencies, visiting new music specialists, and dozens of events each year provide students with a rich educational and artistic experience.
An interdisciplinary center within UNT's Division of Composition Studies, the Center for Experimental Music & Intermedia (CEMI) provides a unique environment for the exploration of time-based arts and is internationally renowned for its long history of innovation, particularly in the realm of electroacoustic music. Students, faculty, guests, and collaborators from a variety of disciplines engage in research, creation, and performance in CEMI's six production studios and the Merrill Ellis Intermedia Theater.
Music Now is the weekly composition departmental meeting, an open forum for the exchange of ideas and information about the creation, performance, and understanding of recent music. These forums, which are typically scheduled Mondays at 11:00-11:50 am, feature presentations by UNT faculty and students as well as visiting composers, scholars, and interpreters of new music.
Nova is the new music ensemble of the University of North Texas. In keeping with its mission to present a diversity of musical, aesthetic, and cultural experiences, Nova's repertoire ranges from 20th century classics to works that incorporate the latest musical innovations. Students in the ensemble have opportunities to work with faculty and guest composers and are occasionally joined by faculty and guest performers. Performances and workshops have included music by composition students as well.
The Spectrum concert series features new solo and chamber works for instruments and voices, often utilizing new technologies and intermedia. These programs are presented throughout the fall and spring semesters, and are listed in the calendar section of this website.
The Composers Forum is a student organization devoted to coordinating performances and bringing new works to public attention. The organization was formed to foster the spirit of collaboration between composers, performers, and artists of all kinds throughout the UNT community.
The Initiative for Advanced Research in Technology and the Arts (iARTA) is an interdisciplinary research cluster represented by faculty from across a wide spectrum of the arts, engineering and sciences. iARTA activities include scholarship, creative research and technical development at the leading edges of emergent media practice; the resulting research areas are represented by diverse forms such as telematic performance, immersive installation, robotic sculpture, mobile networks, and art-science collaboration. The cluster also publishes the MOEBIUS Journal, which explores the intersection of theory and practice in electronic arts.

The US Federal Reserve has stepped in to accelerate the economic recovery, saying that it would expand its holdings of mortgage-backed securities, and potentially undertake other new policies, until unemployment drops sufficiently or inflation rises too fast.
We have expert assessment of that move from Valentijn van Nieuwenhuijzen with ING Investment Management.
Also in the programme, merger talks between EADS and BAE, which could lead to the creation of a new industry giant and more disappointment over Italy's economic growth.

A woman was hit and killed by a Green Line light rail train Sunday morning near Westgate Station in St. Paul.
A Metro Transit official says it appears the woman was trying to cross in front of the eastbound train shortly after 10 a.m. when she was hit. The woman was dead when emergency responders arrived.
According to a preliminary investigation, the woman appeared to have been crossing at the crosswalk, and the warning signals appeared to be operating properly. She may have been wearing headphones and didn't see or hear the train approaching, officials say.
The woman's name hasn't been released, but authorities say she was in her 40s.
Westgate Station is on University Avenue near Berry Street.
Buses replaced train service between Prospect Park and Raymond Station during the investigation, but normal operations have since resumed.

The remodel looks fabulous
There is no doubt that there has been a remodel. From the new chairs and sofa to the fresh paint on the wall, this office is comfortable and updated. A nice change for a great staff and for the patients.
Very Dependable and thorough
Within one month I had mold in two offices. Dental offices!!! ASAP Mold worked over the weekend and at nights to get the mold treated and taken care of so we did not have interruption of office hours. Highly recommend.

Handles well, looks sharp. It's a fun car to drive and gets lots of looks. So far, maintenance has been minimal, except for preventive type, like oil changes, check tire pressure, etc.

i first purchased this vehicle expecting a sporty reliable car with 54k miles. at 56k miles, the exhaust was shot including the cats, at 58k miles the head gaskets blew, which was a costly and time consuming repair. turned out the gaskets were installed incorrectly, and ford knew.
owner notification was initiated a few months later, with an apology, and an offer for reimbursment, good, but not as good as my moms toyota with 140,000 miles and no engine trouble.

Stash Seasonal Items
Instantly create more space by storing your winter coats and sweaters in boxes and shelving them high in your closet or under your bed. Since you don't need these items every day, your closet will be a place that is just for items that you want to have easy access to. Once summer's over, you'll have those boxes to stow your sundresses and bikinis until next year. Use cute labels to make it easier to find what you are looking for once the seasons change.
Over the Door Rack, $18, amazon.com
Maximize Your Small Space
Don't just stick with
the single rod that comes in your closet. Get creative and take advantage of the walls,
the floor and the backs of doors for more storage space. If you want to add an extra rod for
hanging clothes, consider using tension shower rods, which can be installed
without making holes in the wall (sweet!). You can use the top rod for shirts
and jackets and the bottom rod for pants and skirts. An
over-the-door rack makes the most of the unused space behind a closet door by
giving you pockets for small foldable items such as tights or belts. When in
doubt, a well-placed hook can be used for an infinite amount of items from
purses, hats and scarves.
Wooden Shoe Rack, $27, amazon.com
Shoe Solutions
So many shoes, so little floor space. Elevate your shoes
with a 3-tiered shoe rack to lift your soles off the ground and separate based
on category: top shelf for everyday shoes like flats and sandals, second shelf
for booties and sneakers, and the bottom shelf for your formal heels. The leftover
floor space can be used for keeping your tall boots. (Bonus tip: Stuff your
boots with paper or old plastic bags to help them maintain their shape.)
Don't Be a Repeat Offender
Feel like
you're wearing the same thing over and over? Try this simple trick: Start by facing all of your
hangers the same way so that the hook is facing the back wall. Once you wear
something, turn the hanger around so that the hook is facing you. Try this for
a couple of weeks and you'll start to notice a pattern of which items you wear
the most. This will give you the chance to rediscover a favorite piece that may
have gotten pushed to the back of the rack and will keep your look fresh and
your clothes in constant rotation.

Photos of Halle and Nahla at the Grocery Store
Halle and Nahla Shop and Smile in LA
by Celebrity
Like us on Facebook
Halle Berry took Nahla along for the ride to the grocery store in LA yesterday. Nahla was the star of the show as she waved to the cameras and held on to her holiday Elmo while mom balanced the groceries. Halle and Nahla have been spending a lot of quality time together in LA, which is a reversal of roles of sorts after Gabriel took the lead while the family was in NYC last month on business. Apparently, the trio is looking for a new place to call home, as Halle's Hollywood Hills home is up for sale.
There's more cute Halle and Nahla when you read more.

Didier Drogba is set to start training with Chelsea.
The Ivory Coast striker, now with Shanghai Shenhua, saw FIFA block his bid to rejoin the Blues on loan during the Chinese close season.
But Drogba, 34, who ended an eight-year spell at Stamford Bridge last summer, plans to use the club's Cobham facility to stay fit ahead of next month's African Nations Cup.
Drogba's advisor Thierno Seydi said: "We don't yet know when he will start. But the aim above all is for him to train well for the Nations Cup."
