Pulse Miami 2014Juxtapoz // Sunday, December 07, 2014
Before heading back home to San Francisco we made one last stop at Pulse Miami to say hi to our friends at New Image art, see works by Richard Coleman, Cleon Peterson, Retna, and Maya Hayuk as well as check out the always impressive Peter Hugo at Yossi Milo gallery and many more great artworks throughout the fair! See some of our favorites after the jump...
Scope Miami Beach 2014: Juxtapoz Presents + MoreJuxtapoz // Wednesday, December 03, 2014
Yesterday, we showed you the two amazing projects we have at Scope Miami Beach: Cleon Petereson's "Paint the Town" sculptures and Grotesk's "Juxtapoz Newsstand." Today, we take a look at the booths and galleries associated with the Juxtapoz Presents x Scope programming, as well as some highlights from around the fair. If you come by the Newsstand this week, be sure to get a copy of the special newspaper we have to highlight the program.
Paint the Town by Cleon Peterson @ SCOPE Miami 2014Juxtapoz // Tuesday, December 02, 2014
In the entryway of SCOPE Miami Beach 2014, Juxtapoz invited Los Angeles-based fine artist Cleon Peterson to create sculptures based on his latest print release, Paint the Town. Working in conjunction with Pretty In Plastic, Peterson designed 8-foot tall, 3D reinterpretations of his menacing, dancing works. The following is an excerpt from the Juxtapoz October 2014 cover story with Peterson.
Exclusive: Video & Photos - Mirrorless Project Part 2Juxtapoz // Sunday, March 02, 2014
Yesterday we presented the first installment of photographs and videos from the collaborative venture between Italy-based artist, 2501 and Argentina-based artist, Pastel entitled the "MIRRORLESS PROJECT." Amidst this year's annual mural painting influx that occurs in the Wynwood District of Miami during Art Basel, these two artist's constructed several unconventional installations on a number of residential houses in the area (four in total).
Exclusive: Video & Photos - Mirrorless Project Part 1Juxtapoz // Saturday, March 01, 2014
Amidst this year's annual mural painting influx that occurs in the Wynwood District of Miami during Art Basel, a very different, offbeat installation project transpired between artists 2501 and Pastel entitled "MIRRORLESS PROJECT." Creating spatial interventions by using objects and paintings that include mirrors, this project materialized with the residents of Wynwood in mind and with the aim in bringing awareness to the tension spawning from the rapid shifting changes over the last few years.
Best of 2013: Jake & Dinos Chapman "The Sum of All Evil" @ White Cube GalleryJuxtapoz // Monday, December 23, 2013
Not that we want to deter you from looking at these images, but no picture will do this exhibition justice. I can go on and on about how intriguing the work is, how the Chapman brothers have perhaps made the biggest noise during Basel week in Hong Kong, but even that would not give enough credit to how incredible the diorama pieces of The Sum of All Evil really are.
Victoria F. Gaitán's Human Meat Puppets, Art Basel MiamiErotica // Monday, December 09, 2013
Victoria F. Gaitán uses human meat puppets in flesh and blood still lifes. We came across her work out at Art Basel Miami this past weekend, with Mayer Fine Art. The images are calling-cards from explorations of internal worlds, illness, in-between states, shared delusions and hells, stillness, memory, interpretations of pain, private and public intimacies, trauma, beauty, conditioned responses and gender and race in relation to objectification and ornamentation.
Claire Burbridge @ Toomey Tourell, Art Basel MiamiIllustration // Monday, December 09, 2013
We came across the intricate renderings of Claire Burbridge with Toomey Tourell Gallery at the Aqua art fair art Art Basel Miami this past weekend. 'To describe Claire's style of work is as difficult as trying to define the ocean. Her art has a spontaneity that comes straight from the heart and yet is equally concerned with the minutiae of intricate detail...'
Kevin Berlin 'Uncensored', Art Basel MiamiErotica // Monday, December 09, 2013
One of the most shocking and explicit displays we saw at this year's Art Basel Miami was from internationally renowned artist Kevin Berlin. With Mark Miller Gallery at the Aqua Art Fair, Berlin's works can also be found in the collections of Kim Basinger, Luciano Pavarotti, David Letterman, Bill and Hillary Clinton...
Art Basel Miami Beach: Main FairJuxtapoz // Saturday, December 07, 2013
You could spend an entire day in Art Basel Miami Beach, the main and signature fair of what has become the world's biggest art week each year. After all the parties, the special projects, and even all the celebrity gossip, we are all here to see the main fair, and this year Juxtapoz decided to just wander around, take it all in, and capture just a few things that caught our eye.

I've been searching through the HTML5 templates & there are a lot of really nice templates. Many of them have a blog. My question is:
Is this a real blog, or is this a placeholder? I come from the wordpress world & understand the CMS aspect of a blog. However, do these HTML5 websites have a blog that just doesn't have the functionality of wordpress (i.e. user management, deleting posts, etc)? Meaning, you can post, but don't have CMS functionality. Or are these templates just showing what a blog looks like in their theme?
You are right – "these templates just showing what a blog looks like in their theme" because most those HTML template will become wordpress themes

Last films
Now a freelancer, Walsh made his next seven films at five different studios. Glory Alley (1952) was a better-than-average boxing yarn with Ralph Meeker and Leslie Caron, set in New Orleans. The World in His Arms (1952) sent Peck back to sea, this time in 1850 as the captain of a sealing schooner romancing a runaway Russian countess (Ann Blyth). Walsh moved another century back in time for Blackbeard, the Pirate (1952), with Robert Newton tendering a ripe performance as the title character.
The Lawless Breed (1953) had Rock Hudson in an early starring role as legendary gunman John Wesley Hardin, but Sea Devils (1953), filmed in England, used Hudson less well as a Channel Islands smuggler in about 1800 who gets mixed up with a spy (Yvonne De Carlo). Although the thinly disguised Huey Long drama A Lion Is in the Streets (1953) did not deliver on its promise, it offered mesmerizing performances by Cagney as the demagogue and Anne Francis as the temptress Flamingo McManamee. Gun Fury (also 1953) was originally shot in 3-D, but even without that novelty, its story of a cowboy (Hudson) tracking down the gang that kidnapped his bride-to-be (Donna Reed), complemented by stunning Arizona location photography, made this more than an ordinary western. Saskatchewan (1954) permitted Walsh to explore the topography of the Canadian Rockies, with Ladd as a Mountie who tries to keep the Sioux and Cree from an uprising.
Battle Cry (1955) was an ode to the marines of World War II that remained as faithful as was then possible under the Production Code to the epic novel by Leon Uris (who also wrote the screenplay). It was Walsh's first Cinemascope production and starred Van Heflin, Aldo Ray, and Tab Hunter. The cattle-drive western soap-opera The Tall Men (1955) had an excellent cast of Clark Gable, Robert Ryan, and Jane Russell.
Walsh used Russell again in The Revolt of Mamie Stover (1956), casting her as a saloon singer in World War II Honolulu. The King and Four Queens (1956) was a mediocre western with Gable as a con man trying to swindle a rancher (Jo Van Fleet) and her four daughters-in-law out of a fortune in stolen gold. In Band of Angels (1957) Gable and Walsh teamed again in a compromised version of Robert Penn Warren's novel about the antebellum south. Dubbed "The Ghost of Gone with the Wind," the film was a box-office failure. Walsh tackled his most-daunting literary source with The Naked and the Dead (1958), adapted from Norman Mailer's novel about a platoon of American soldiers trying to capture a Pacific island during World War II.
The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw (1958) was a light western comedy made in England with Kenneth More and Jayne Mansfield. A Private's Affair (1959) was another lightweight product, a service comedy starring Sal Mineo and Barbara Eden.
Walsh's contribution to the Bible story wave of the 1950s and 1960s was Esther and the King (1960), a U.S.-Italian coproduction that starred Joan Collins as Esther and Richard Egan as the king Ahasuerus. Marines, Let's Go (1961) returned Walsh to the relatively familiar ground of the Korean War.
Walsh was able to partially redeem these disappointments with A Distant Trumpet (1964), a rather familiar tale of cavalry battling Indians in 1883 Arizona. It managed to echo some of his earlier western triumphs without equaling them. But Walsh himself was suffering from physical difficulties, primarily fading sight in his one good eye, and he had to retire after this. His legacy of 69 sound pictures (and scores of earlier silents) remains among the most-impressive bodies of work submitted by any Hollywood director. Walsh's autobiography, Each Man in His Time, was published in 1974.

Getting people to your site can be a real hassle, if you're new to the world of sound SEO strategies. When you're running a site that's relatively new, you need all the visitors you can get your hands on, and that takes more than just creating and launching the site, because at that point you've only done half your job! No, there's lots more to running a successful site, and most of it revolves around SEO and a good guest blogging service. Here are a few ideas that might get you pointed in the right direction.
#3 A Better Website
Not only to you need a product or service that people need to have in their lives, you need a website that they can actually use, and enjoy using. With so many people using mobile devices when online, you also have to take into account smart UI design that compliments a pc experience, and a smartphone experience. It can be a juggling act, but it's one that's vital to your businesses' growth and survival. Not only that, but do you really want to be seen as a company that's behind the times thanks to a poorly designed site? Of course not. Study the sites you yourself use and enjoy on a daily basis, and figure out ways to incorporate their designs into your own.
#2 Loyalty Program
Sometimes, all it takes to keep people coming back is the thought of being able to get something for free or at a huge discount. Loyalty programs encourage repeat visits and purchases from the same set of clients over and over, while at the same time drawing in a potential new crowd of customers. This of course depends on how good and desirable your rewards are to the customer. While that may seem like an additional expense, it's worth it, when you consider all the additional business you'll be bringing in. Give your customers a reason to become dedicated to your business. Show them that their loyalty matters to you.
#1 Social Media Fan Pages
It may seem obvious, but your best bet in the online world is to go where your customers and potential customers are located. Most people who have steady online activity have at least one or two social media accounts. So, it only makes sense for your company to have a fan page on each of the major social media sites out there. Not only are you spreading your online presence, you're also basically getting free advertising, as your customers who visit the fan page are helping to spread awareness about your company and products or services. Before you know it, you'll see huge increases in your traffic to both on your fan club page, and your main company site. You really can't go wrong by implementing social media into your overall business strategy.
For extra money to get your website up, learn how to sell my structured settlement.
SEO isn't an impossible to master craft- it's simple online logic that anyone can master with enough time, practice, and effort. Try a service that provides SEO like a web design by Lewes. If you want your company to succeed (and who doesn't), you'll do your best to implement it into your business strategy from the start, and do all that you can to build an audience online.

Pakistani tent makers struggle to meet quake demand
By Athar Hussain
KARACHI (Reuters) – Pakistani tent makers said on Friday
they are struggling to meet a government demand for 8,000 tents
a day to shelter some two million survivors of the October 8
earthquake before winter sets in.
Hundreds of thousands of tents able to withstand a
Himalayan winter are needed for survivors of the quake that
devastated northern Pakistan and killed about 50,000 people,
aid officials say. About 1,300 people were killed in
neighboring India.
International aid groups are scouring the world for tents.
The U.N. refugee agency is airlifting 30,000 tents to
Pakistan and international Red Cross agencies are sending
another 53,000, but that's it for global supplies, the United
Nations says.
"It's still a drop in the ocean," U.N. coordinator Jesper
Lund said of the 83,000 tents in the pipeline.
"We need hundreds of thousands – at least 450,000, but
that's only a rough estimate," he said.
To try to fill the gap the Pakistani government has ordered
tent makers onto a war footing, demanding 8,000 tents a day and
banning their export and domestic sales.
But Pakistani tent makers say it's going to be impossible
to meet that target.
"The problem is that all the tent manufacturing units in
Pakistan cannot produce more than 5,000 tents a day," said M.J.
Aftab of the Sheikh Nooruddin manufacturing company.
Pakistan has about 110 manufacturing units, most of them in
the main textile cities of Karachi and Lahore, according to the
secretary of the country's tent makers and exporters
association, Nisar Ahmed.
Aftab, whose company has in the past supplied nearly
200,000 tents to the United Nations and other aid agencies for
refugees in Afghanistan and Iraq, said the government needed to
control rising cost of raw materials and ensure their smooth
Before the earthquake, according to another manufacturer,
Sheikh Tajammul, an ounce of quality canvas that cost 1.75
rupees is now being sold for 3.25 rupees.
"Some people are trying to exploit this urgent situation
and the plight of the earthquake survivors. If we don't get
controlled-price raw materials than it's difficult to meet the
government demand," Tajammul said.
Ahmed said another problem was that the price the
government will pay tent makers was too low, and the government
was demanding better quality tents, able to shelter families
from a bitter winter only weeks away.
"Normally, the tents we make are meant for normal use and
cost around 3,200 rupees. But the government has asked us to
make tents with thicker, water-proof canvas material with
double flys and iron beam support."
"These tents which can stand up to the harsh weather in the
northern areas are expensive and cost more than our normal
price," he said.
According to the tent makers' association, the wholesale
price of quality tents is around 6,500 rupees while the
government is only offering 4,500 rupees.
But Ahmed said despite the problems, Pakistani makers were
striving to meet needs.
"Despite the price and raw material problems, we've started
manufacturing tents on a daily basis to meet urgent
requirements," he said.
Quake survivors in the Indian part of Kashmir are also
facing an acute shortage of tents.
The region needed 30,000 tents but only 13,000 had been
distributed, Indian Kashmir's most senior bureaucrat, Vijay
Bakaya, told Reuters.

Described is a technology for disambiguating data corresponding to persons that are located from search results, so that different persons having the same name can be clearly distinguished. Name entity extraction locates words (terms) that are within a certain distance of persons' names in the search results. The terms are used in disambiguating search results that correspond to different persons having the same name, such as location information, organization information, career information, and/or partner information. In one example, each person is represented as a vector, and similarity among vectors is calculated based on weighting that corresponds to nearness of the terms to a person, and/or the types of terms. Based on the similarity data, the person vectors that represent the same person are then merged into one cluster, so that each cluster represents (to a high probability) only one distinct person.
1. A method comprised of steps that are each performed by one or more computers, the steps manipulating data and information stored by the one or more computers, the steps of the method comprising:
disambiguating person data located from one or more sets of search results, including extracting information about a person based on name entity extraction, and calculating similarity data, wherein the calculating similarity data comprises using a vector space model, wherein using the vector space model comprises determining a vector for a person, the vector comprising a plurality of entity features including one or more entity locations related to the person, one or more entity organizations related to the person, and one or more entities that the person has been associated with the person, wherein calculating similarity data comprises using a calculation in which each entity feature of the person vector has an entity weight and a nearness weight, and wherein the calculation comprises, for each entity feature, combining the corresponding entity weight and nearness weight with an entity weight and nearness weight of a same entity feature of another person vector and aggregating the combined weights of the entity features.

receiving the text snippets from a search engine in response to a query comprising a person name, the snippets including the person name;
for each snippet extracting therefrom entity names of entities related to the person name, computing weights of the names of the entities according to their respective text distances in the snippet from the person name in the snippet, and constructing a person feature vector comprised of features that correspond to the names of the entities and each feature having the computed weight of its corresponding entity name;
calculating similarity measures between the person feature vectors, each similarity measure representing similarity between two different person feature vectors, where for a given first person feature vector and a given second person feature vector, weights of features of the first person feature vector are combined with weights of the same features from the second person feature vector to compute the similarity measure between the first and second person feature vectors; and
clustering the person feature vectors into clusters of similar feature vectors based on the similarity measures.

storing, by the one or more computers, the received text snippets;
for each stored snippet, finding therein the person name and names of entities that are related to a person having the person name, computing weights of the names ofthe entities according to their respective text distances in the snippet from the person name in the snippet, and constructing a person feature vector comprised of features that correspond to the names of the entities and each feature having the computed weight of its corresponding entity name;
calculating, by processing of the one or more computers, similarity measures between the person feature vectors, each similarity measure representing similarity between two different person feature vectors, where for a given first person feature vector and a given second person feature vector, weights of features of the first person feature vector are combined with weights of the same features from the second person feature vector to compute the similarity measure between the first and second person feature vectors;
executing, by the one or more computers, a clustering algorithm to form clusters of the person feature vectors based on the similarity measures;
merging clusters based on their having in-common same names of entities, each merged duster representing the same person name; and
disambiguating the person name by treating each cluster as representing a different person having the same person name.
The present invention claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/843,024 filed Sep. 8, 2006, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
When searching the web seeking to locate information related to a particular person, data about many persons having the same name are often retrieved by the search engine. To automatically disambiguate such persons, text clustering, which is directed towards finding groups within sets of data, can at times be a somewhat effective and practical technique. However, conventional text clustering mainly solves the problem of topic clustering, not person clustering or disambiguation.
In fact, traditional text clustering methods have many shortcomings when applied to person disambiguation, including that personal information is not well exploited, resulting in a number of challenges. For example, useful information relevant to a particular person is often very trivial, especially within the snippets retrieved by the search engine. While more ideal clues to distinctly identify a person might include concepts such as the person's organization, career, location, relationships with other persons, and so forth, such terms rarely occur more than one time in a short text segment. As a result, the text clustering results are often unexpectedly biased by other factors (which can be considered noise). Further, the cluster name is usually hard to understand with respect to the general goals of person disambiguation.
Moreover, some popular person names may be common among a relatively large number of different individuals. A normal iterative clustering algorithm, such as k-means, unavoidably increases analysis time. To enable an approach for online usage would require a fast, high-quality clustering algorithm.
This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of representative concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used in any way that would limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.
Briefly, various aspects of the subject matter described herein are directed towards disambiguating data corresponding to persons that are located from search results, including extracting information about persons based on name entity extraction, and calculating similarity data. For example, the name entity extraction locates words (terms) that are within a certain distance of a person's name in the search results. The terms may provide relevant information that may be used in disambiguating search results that correspond to different persons having the same name, such as location information, organization information, career information, and/or partner information.
In one example implementation, each person is represented as a vector, and similarity among vectors is calculated based on weighting that corresponds to nearness of the terms to a person, and/or the types of terms. Based on the similarity between clusters, the person vectors that represent the same person are then merged into one cluster per person, so that each cluster represents (to a high probability) only one distinct person.
Other advantages may become apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the drawings.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example and not limited in the accompanying figures in which like reference numerals indicate similar elements and in which:
Various aspects of the technology described herein are generally directed towards disambiguating the identities of persons found in a web search, including generating a person cluster and cluster description, in which each cluster represents an individual person, and the cluster description represents that individual's personal information in a way that is readable for the searching user. In general and as described below, the technology described herein uses a name entity extraction approach for person disambiguation, based on personal information extracted from data (referred to herein as snippets) returned by a search engine.
As will be understood, the various aspects described herein thus benefit person searching, including by providing a better person disambiguation result, in which different persons are well distinguished from one another, and the data found that corresponds to the same person has a greater chance to be grouped together with other found data for that person, thereby avoiding redundant results.
In one example implementation, various features, criteria, weights and other factors are used in name entity extraction-based clustering, including using data that may be learned, such as from obtaining results based upon known data sets. However, as can be readily appreciated, the various data described herein are only examples, and the technology is not limited to any particular features criteria, weights, factors and so forth. Moreover, the general concept can be employed to yield useful products and services beyond person disambiguation.
As such, the present invention is not limited to any particular embodiments, aspects, concepts, structures, functionalities or examples described herein. Rather, any of the embodiments, aspects, concepts, structures, functionalities or examples described herein are non-limiting, and the present invention may be used various ways that provide benefits and advantages in searching and computing in general.
The query typically results in a number of snippets 108 containing information corresponding to the query. However, instead of returning the snippets 108 as results directly to the client, a disambiguation mechanism 110 processes the snippets 108. The disambiguation mechanism 110 may be (at least in part) located at an intermediate server, and/or may be incorporated into code at the client machine.
More particularly, within the disambiguation mechanism 110, a name entity extraction (tagger) component 112 extracts data from the returned snippets 108, such as data related to each resultant person's organization, location (e.g., city, state country and so forth) and co-occurred relationships with other persons. This data extraction is also represented in the flow diagram of
With the available personal information for each individual, a vector is constructed for each person, as represented in
As also represented in
To assure accuracy, various issues are taken into account. For example, only the pieces of information (entities) near enough to the person's name (e.g., within a ten word distance in a snippet) may be considered as relevant; the similarity calculation can be adjusted by word distance. Further, different types of information, such as organization, career, location and so forth may have different weights in computing person similarity.
Considering nearness and similarity weighting, one example implementation calculates the similarity as follows:
To learn the weights, some data may be manually labeled, and statistical method such as regression may be used, wherein regression is a classic statistical problem that tries to determine the relationship between two random variables x=(x1, x2, . . . , xp) and y. Linear regression attempts to explain the relationship of x and y with a straight line fit to the data.
Following vector building and similarity calculation, at block 120, persons are disambiguated by clustering person vectors. In one example implementation, a suitable person vector clustering algorithm that operates in one data scan is represented via steps 207-212 in
More particularly, one example clustering algorithm that uses one-time k-means clustering and name entity extraction defines k centroids (step 207 of
A next step is to take each object belonging to a given data set and associate it to the nearest centroid. Steps 208-212 represent such association for each object of each data set. When no object is pending, this part of the clustering operations is completed and an early grouping is done. Note that to ensure the purity of each cluster, that is, that each cluster represents only one person, the algorithm does not recalculate k new centroids of the clusters resulting from the previous step.
Cluster merging is then used, as represented at step 214, in which the high quality clusters help in discovering more important entities based on cluster information. An aspect referred to as "TFICF" is used to select key entities, where TF means term frequency and ICF means inverted cluster frequency. The ones that appear more in one cluster and less in others will be more significant for this cluster:
The clusters that share common entities are then merged, as represented by step 216. This step ensures that clusters representing the same person are grouped together, referred to as coverage. Once merged, a user can then browse the person search result set, e.g., using a clustering view. In the exemplified implementation, each cluster corresponds to a distinct person, and the cluster name provides the corresponding person's information, which is very intuitive in directly selecting the person's data that the user wanted to locate.
Turning to another aspect, the names of persons accessible via the web often correspond to different industries, such as entertainment, sports, science, business, and so forth. Classification of different persons into these industries can facilitate the browsing and search of specific persons. Name entities and keywords may be extracted from the surrounding context of a person name, and then a relational classification method may be used to classify the person name into one or more industries.
Aspects of industry classification include utilizing surrounding name entities in the classification, and a relational classification process that attempts to maximize the consistency of the industry of the person name and industries of the surrounding name entities. Based on the related name entities and related keywords, a relational classification method may be used to get an industry. In other words, this relational classification method not only attempts to maximize the probability of the keywords, but also attempts to maximize the consistency of the classification result among related name entities.
Most existing categorization algorithms assume that data objects are of the same type, with the objects having interrelationships serving as additional features. Focusing on any single aspects of these interrelationships and objects will not fully reveal their true categories. Relation classification is a categorization algorithm that classifies interrelated objects by iterative reinforcement between individual classification results of different types via the interrelationships.
In one example implementation, the name entities E are divided into a training set Et and a testing set Es. All persons are considered as being part of the test set Ps. One iterative reinforcement algorithm, referred to herein as the relational classification algorithm, takes Es, Et and Ps as inputs, and outputs the categories of Es and Ps. More particularly, as represented in
Step 308 updates the probability distribution of entities on the k categories according to the probability distribution of the interrelated persons in Ps of the moment from the probability distribution calculated at step 302. Step 310 then labels the entity e as the category c, where:
Step 312 updates the probability distribution of persons on the k categories according to the probability distribution of the interrelated entities in Et and Es of the moment. Step 314 loops back to repeat steps 306, 308, 301 and 3126 until the probability distributions reach a fixed point.
A crawler or the like may be used to get the corresponding web pages and any full news as represented in
Because different persons may have the same names, a disambiguation module 450 may be used to differentiate different persons from this set of text documents 448, e.g., by clustering person-related documents for person disambiguation as represented in
At step 510, after identifying the related text documents for a single person, an attempt is made to identify the context of this person's name in these documents. For example, the context may be identified by the preceding and/or the succeeding twenty words relative to the target person name. Various name entity identification mechanisms, represented in
Based on the related name entities and related keywords, a relational classification mechanism 458 may be used to obtain a corresponding industry. In general, this relational classification mechanism 458 not only attempts to maximize the probability of the keywords, but also attempts to maximize the consistency of the classification result among related name entities. Step 512 represents this relational classification operation.

France Culture is a French public radio channel and part of Radio France. Its programming encompasses a wide variety of features on historical, philosophical, sociopolitical, and scientific themes (including debates, discussions, and documentaries), as well as literary readings, radio plays, and experimental productions. The channel is broadcast nationwide on FM and is also available online.
France Culture began life in 1946 as the Chaîne Nationale (national network) of Radiodiffusion Française (RDF). In 1958 it was renamed France III, then RTF Promotion in 1963, finally becoming France Culture later in that same year. The channel originally carried the bulk of French public radio's classical music output; however, since the establishment in 1953 of the specialized "high-fidelity" music channel which was to become today's France Musique, France Culture has become by steps an almost exclusively spoken-word channel.

Iran, 6 powers both need success at nuclear talks
Sanctions levied by the U.S. have already cut significantly into exports of Iranian crude - from about 2.5 million barrels a day last year to between 1.2 and 1.8 million barrels now, according to estimates by U.S. officials. A European Union embargo on Iranian crude that starts July 1 will tighten the squeeze.
Iran denies it is hurting from the oil penalties, but in India last week, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the sanctions are "sending a decisive message to Iran's leaders."
"Until they take concrete actions to satisfy the concerns of the international community, they will continue to face increasing isolation and pressure," she said.
Like canny chess players unwilling to expose their king, both sides have been waiting for the other to make the first move. But too long a wait could translate into opportunity missed.
"Having accumulated precious assets that bolstered their hand in negotiations, both parties are now loath to use the leverage they sacrificed so much to acquire," the Brussels-based International Crisis Group said of the standoff.
The West insists that Iran is in the wrong by continuing to enrich uranium despite U.N. Security Council demands it stop doing so. Iran says its right to do so for peaceful use is enshrined in the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
Repeating Iran's mantra, Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, a senior Iranian cleric, said curbing uranium enrichment was not on the table.
"The Iranian nation has withstood years of Western pressure and sanctions for the realization of its nuclear energy rights and it will not give them up now," state TV quoted him as saying during Friday prayers in Tehran.
Others are more conciliatory, reflecting the many and ever-changing voices of Iran on the nuclear issue.
The talks are being convened by EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, and diplomats say Iranian chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili told her Monday that Iran was ready to discuss enrichment in Moscow. On Saturday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told the German daily Frankfurter Allgemeine that his country is ready for "a positive step if the other side also takes steps."
But the problem of who takes the first step remains - along with whether that will be big enough to be followed by others.
The six are coming to Moscow prepared to ease restrictions on airplane parts for Iran's outmoded, mostly U.S.-produced civilian fleet and are offering technical help with aspects of Iran's nuclear program that cannot be used for military purposes.
While not budging on lifting existing sanctions or those already decided upon, diplomats familiar with the talks told The Associated Press the six are also prepared to guarantee that no new U.N. penalties will be enacted if Tehran shows enough compromise. The diplomats demanded anonymity because that possible offer has not yet been formally made.
Washington has warned Tehran of the alternatives should it not be willing to meet the six powers' demands.
"The window for diplomacy is not indefinite," a senior U.S administration official told AP. "There is tremendous international unity and (oil) sanctions will continue to ratchet up come the beginning of July when our bilateral ones and the EU's come into full force.

Well, what would they be? I've been interested in getting in touch with my RPG roots lately and I'm wondering which games I should try out.
If you were to recommend a few SNES RPGs...

Earthbound definitely.
Final Fantasy VI
Super Mario RPG is pretty amusing too.
Only one I played was Super Mario RPG (wasn't released here, so take a guess at how I played it) and it was epic.
Other than that I didnt play many SNES era RPGs.
Oh crap, I forgot to mention that I had played Final Fantasy 4 and 6. They were amazing though! Super good for their time and even still they are great.
I did buy it on VC when it was eventually released, yes :) *shifty eyes* That was after I had played it years beforehand :P
Funny you should say that actually, I have a fair few Jap imports :D damned if I can read them though lol, i'm waiting for my friend who studies Japanese to come down and play Shin Megami Tensei NINE with me for original Xbox, I can't understand a word of it lol.
Okay, I'm going to assume you are ROMing some these if not all of them, because most of these games are pretty hard to find today. For the sake of argument I'm going to put (ROM) with the preferred version next to the ones that are damn near impossible find and/or were never relesead outside Japan. So without further adieu, here's the SNES RPG's I recommend based on what you have already played.
Final Fantasy II (IV)
Final Fantasy III (VI)
Secret of Evermore
Super Mario RPG
Illusion of Gaia
Terranigma (ROM it, because the only English version ever released was in Australia and it's retardedly hard to find)
Seiken Densetsu 3 (Secret of Mana 2) (ROM it for an English translation. This beauty was never released outside Japan.)
Tales of Phantasia (Also never released outside Japan, get the deJap ROM)
Star Ocean (Also never released outside Japan, ROM it.)
Bahamut Lagoon (Also never released outside Japan, ROM it.)
Mother 2 (Earthbound) (ROM it, because it's crazy hard to find.)
Albert Odyssey 1 + 2 (ROM these they were never released outside Japan.)
Final Fantasy VI/III, Super Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger and Earthbound. Um, Tales of Phantasia and Star Ocean (Japanese releases, but you can find a translation)
I wouldn't exactly call Illusion of Gaia an RPG. It's more of an action adventure. it's a lot of fun too and man, the references to history are awesome.
I'm only repeating whats being said already, but Earthbound (Mother 2 -get it on the GBA in Japanese from an import shop so you actually own it) and FFVI spring to mind. You can get FFVI on the GBA also so technically you don't need to ROM those two...though you do need to learn some Japanese.

Final Fantasy 4(2), Final Fantasy 6(3), Secret of mana, Secret of Evermore, Earthbound, Chrono trigger, Super Mario RPG, Act Raiser, Illusion of gaia, Star Blazer.
Everything in this thread is right-on. Other ones that I would suggest are the Enix/Quintet ones!
Games like Act Raiser, Terranigma, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, The 7th Saga, Star Ocean, Brain Lord, Robotrek, and Dragon Quest VI (best Dragon Quest game period, being released on the DS in North America for the first time, in about a year or so).
Some other random ones to try-out are Lagoon, Bahamut Lagoon, Equinox, Big Sky Trooper, Secret of the Stars, Young Merlin, Seiken Densetsu 3 (best Secret of Mana game), and maybe The Twisted Tales of Spike McFang (I never could finish this one).
Some of these may not be pure RPG's (and may have not aged very well), but they used to all be so amazing back-in-the-day!

Seiken Densetsu 3 and Final Fantasy IV would be my two picks, seeing as you've already played Chrono Trigger.
As stated in a post above, Seiken Densetsu 3 was never released outside of Japan, but there's a great English fan-translation out there for the ROM.

Like a lot of other people have said, I'd say FFVI, Chrono Trigger (Both of which you've played), and Super Mario RPG. I'd also recommend The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (I know it's not really an RPG), and one of my old favorites: Soul Blazer. I need to go find a copy of Soul Blazer now. I miss that game. The ending was so great.

ANAHEIM, CA - JANUARY 05: Todd Bertuzzi #44 of the Detroit Red Wings gets ready on the ice during the game against the Anaheim Ducks at the Honda Center on January 5, 2010 in Anaheim, California. (Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)
TROY, Mich. -- As a coach, Todd Bertuzzi is more Charlie Chaplin than Mike Babcock. During the lockout, NHL players couldn't have contact with team officials, including coaches. So those players who didn't opt to play in Europe or elsewhere were on their own. That's when veterans like Bertuzzi had to step up, as he has recently during informal practices at the Troy Sports Center. When you're at Joe Louis Arena watching Babcock run practice, you can hear him from the opposite side of the rink. Bertuzzi? Not so much. "Bert is great," Mikael Samuelsson said. "We joked around. He showed a drill yesterday when he didn't say a word, but it worked out great anyway." Ian White described "coach" Bertuzzi as the strong, silent type.'' Darren Helm didn't seem to mind Bertuzzi as coach. "I like Bert as a coach. He's quiet," Helm said. "He ran a few drills without even saying a word. I'm sure it's going to be a little bit different with (Babcock) taking the ship again. "But, obviously,...
