Mass for three sisters is rescheduled earlier
Aunt of victims said change will avoid congestion
A funeral Mass for three Orange Grove sisters who died in a car accident Saturday has been moved to an earlier time, a family member said on Tuesday.
Ana Santos, aunt of Ruby Ann Sanchez, 21, Danielle Marie Delgado, 16, and Rebecca Lee Delgado, 14, said the funeral Mass for her nieces was changed from 3 to 1:30 p.m. Thursday to avoid the after-school traffic congestion at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 801 S. Reynolds St. in Alice.
After the Mass, the girls will be buried side by side at the Orange Grove Cemetery, the girls' aunt, Debbie Ortiz, said Tuesday.
A rosary is scheduled for 7 p.m. today at St. Joseph Catholic Church.
Ruby was driving her sisters to Corpus Christi in a 1995 2-door black Mazda about 5 p.m. Saturday on Farm-to-Market Road 624 east near County Road 73 when their car collided with an oncoming van in the westbound lane.
The girls died at the scene.
Aletha Webb, 49, also of Orange Grove, who drove the 2002 Chrysler van, remained in stable condition Tuesday afternoon at Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial, officials said.
According to the Department of Public Safety, wet road conditions and driver speed caused the Mazda to hydroplane and collide with the van. The report stated victims in both vehicles were wearing seatbelts, but it did not indicate whether airbags had deployed in either of the vehicles.

If you follow the correct directions at a crossroad somtimes you'll get a chance to switch to a different environment. All you have to do then is to survive the run until the new environment meter has filled up completely. For more great tips and tricks, see our in-depth guide.
Unlike previous TempleRun games always keep your eyes on what's happening further ahead for quick changes. You'll have to deal with dynamic changes to the road layout, so always keep your eyes on what's happening further ahead. You'll need to jump over any crumbling masonry or tree roots that appear.
If an enemy swoops at you on the yellow brick road, you need to slide beneath its grasp. Don't do this too early or you'll stand up straight into it! Wait until the creature is almost touching you before ducking underneath it.

To enter the balloon flight mini-game, you need to swipe in the correct direction when you come to a crossroads and the balloon becomes visible on the horizon. Once you reach the balloon, swipe upwards to grab onto the rope and crawl inside.
Avoid hitting the emerald crystals that sprout from the rocks in the sky.
Getting an unbroken run of coins fills up your coin meter. Once it's filled completely, you can double-tap anywhere on the screen to activate a temporary power-up. Don't forget to make use of these power-ups as soon as they become available.
Getting bored of the early stages of the game? There are two types of headstart available in Temple Run: Oz, one that gives you a 1,000m boost from the start, and another that gives you a 2,500m boost. These cost coins though, and can only be used once.

Trend Traditional Western Christmas fare makes a comeback on the table
The tree's been up for a while now, carollers have done the rounds, the whole city is bedecked in red and green, and the air is still saturated with the delightful aroma of Christmas baking, which might have started over the weekend. However, today is perhaps when indulging in scrumptious Christmas goodies reaches its zenith!
Indian variation
While Christmas and rich plum cakes go hand-in-hand, we Indians have our own variations and adaptations of Christmas goodies. However, given our ever-evolving world of food, although rose cookies, kulkuls, murukkus and karjikais still hold sway, this time around, many bakers and confectioners in the country are treading the traditional path with authentic Christmas goodies and not the 'Indianised' versions.
According to Lisha Jacob, a home baker, "People are baking traditional goodies not because the Indian ones have lost their charm, but simply because creativity and experimentation have become the order of the day."
Nowadays, popular bakeries across the country and even home bakers do not shy away from authentic yuletide treats that include the Yule Log / Bûche de Noël (European log-shaped Christmas cake associated with Winter Solstice), plum pudding and cakes, Dresden Stollen (a traditional German fruit cake containing dried fruit and often marzipan and covered with sugar), mince pies, gingerbread houses, pannetone (a sweet bread loaf from Milan) and various types of conventional Christmas cookies.
Getting better
Namrata Ann, who lovers to bake at home, says: "I'm a cookies fan. So this Christmas, I've made five kinds of authentic Christmas cookies that include gingerbread, Krumkake, Pepparkakor, Sandbakelse and, of course, sugar cookies. With people travelling the globe and with innumerable cooking shows, celebrity chef blogs and recipe banks available on the Internet, more and more Indians want to bring that element of authenticity to their celebrations."
Confectioners in the city too offer special Christmas hampers. They include an assortment of brownies, cookies, gingerbread, pies, cupcakes, and more. Says confectioner Nithya Susan, "People are now more exposed to food cultures from around the world. They look for confectionery that has visual appeal and tastes good. Traditional Indian Christmas sweets don't provide a platform for such presentation. This year has seen a lot of change in Christmas sweets — from kulkuls and plum cakes there's a shift to cupcakes, macaroons, truffles and cookies in all shapes, sizes and colours."
Conventional delicacies or modern delights, now that Christmas is here, we say, take the plunge!

What performance enhancers do you take?
I don't know how common this is, but I have all kinds of performance enhancers that I couldn't live without. For example:
Emergen-C - packets of vitamin C that you mix in with your drink. Very restorative;
Ginseng - Amazing the way you can run so much more and tire so much less;
Sam-e - Keeps my mood in balance (don't get nearly as angry or frustrated) plus it's great for the muscles and joints keeping the body looser and more flexible during play.
I usually take all three, EmergenC and Ginseng extract in my drink and 400 mgs of Sam-e in pill form. Anyone else using enhancers?

Both of "The Poets" pieces are cool. But I also like your recommendation!
I have to agree with The poets being awesome although personally I am listening to the poets I on repeat. that track is just so fantastic! It even starts of strong. Fantastic!
"I like taking other men in my mouth. Doesn't mean I'm gay does it" -- UrAssIsInMyYard (I'm afraid it does pal).
I think moreso than the graphics SOR3's music did a great job of making Streets way more gritty and real. And I agree, Dub Slash is nasty as hell
I think the music of SOR3 was to the series what the music of Jet Set Radio Future was to the first game. Less melodic, with harder and faster beats. It created more ambience, despite being less dreamy, in both soundtracks´ case. Very experimental too, it proved the Genesis´ sound ship versatility.
The music definitely helped take it to another level, whether it was above or at the same as SoR2.
PSN: Handsomistic1
I also think "Happy Paradise" is pretty funky.
I wish somebody remixed Dub Slash again. I know the SoRRemake had one, but in my opinion it absolutely disgraces the music. You go from this huge, adrenaline surging rush of a track to this slowed down more methodical version. One of the few remakes that loses the "soul" of the original.

Obamacare Creator: If you like your doctor, you can pay more to keep him/her
Zeke Emanuel, the mastermind behind the disastrous Obamacare health insurance legislation (Affordable Care Act) appeared as a guest on FOX News Sunday. The host, Chris Wallace, asked Emanuel bluntly if President Obama lied when he told millions of Americans they could keep their doctor.
CHRIS WALLACE: "President Obama famously promised, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Doesn't that turn out to be just as false, just as misleading, as his promise about if you like your plan, you can keep your plan? Isn't it a fact, sir, that a number, most, in fact, of the Obamacare health plans that are being offered on the exchanges exclude a number of doctors and hospitals to lower costs?"
Zeke Emanuel: "The president never said you were going to have unlimited choice of any doctor in the country you want to go to."
CW: "No. He asked a question. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Did he not say that, sir?"
ZE: "He didn't say you could have unlimited choice."
CW: "It's a simple yes or no question. Did he say if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor?"
ZE: "Yes. But look, if you want to pay more for an insurance company that covers your doctor, you can do that. This is a matter of choice. We know in all sorts of places you pay more for certain — for a wider range of choices or wider range of benefits.The issue isn't the selective networks. People keep saying, Oh, the problem is you're going to have a selective network–"
CW: "Well, if you lose your doctor or lose your hospital–"
ZE: "Let me just say something. People are going to have a choice as to whether they want to pay a certain amount for a selective network or pay more for a broader network."
CW: "Which will mean your premiums will probably go up."
ZE: "They get that choice. That's a choice they always made."
CW: "Which means your premium may go up over what you were paying so that, in other words –

What insurance does President Obama have? What are his premiums and if he had to, would he have Obamacare?

Unacceptable. Why is this manager texting a temp? Or any employee? Unless it is a company issued cell phone? A manager here got in trouble for that shat.

Just spotted this after hours cave man photo on the new Dig website! I was waiting for somebody to do this trick all weekend and I guess the Robby Nelson got it done after the contest!

The Haro boys represented hard at Texas Toast 2014. Matt Cordova got the weekend started with the Credence Cow Bell Challenge win. Casey Smith rode in the Veteran class jam and won the Vet high air contest. And finally Dennis Enarson wrapped up the weekend qualifying first and then winning the final at the Street comp for the second year in a row.
Navaz just uploaded one hell of an epic Texas Toast video. Between the aerial shots, slow-mos, and clips of Nyquist raising the roof, this video has a ton of great visuals. Hit play if you know what's good for you.
First, Sean Sexton undoubtedly has one of the best looking whips in BMX. It has that classic Van Homan / Taj Mihelich downside feel to it that just makes me cuss like a sailor each time I witness one happen. Second, click on over to the new Dig Website for a great gallery from Texas Toast!

I made this video as a kick off for the Texas Toast awards at NORA Cup…it was made about two hours after the event wrapped up and it's based off the prelims video (the reason for the same song). But, I still think it does a pretty damn good job of showing how damn good Toast is as a whole. You can pretty much hear people screaming the entire time and the looseness of the event really comes through. It's something that Toast, no matter how big it gets, should ever lose. I definitely had a great time this weekend and I'd venture to say that Toast is one of, if not the best events in BMX. Already psyched for 2015…

Ride BMX came through with a more comprehensive look at Sunday Bikes' Highest Bunnyhop Challenge. Brett Silva came close to matching up with Broc this year and they both ended up clearing the 48″ mark. As you've probably already seen though, Broc took the win by hopping over the whole thing (49″). It's kinda wild that throughout Texas Toast's 4 years running, Broc has made over $2,000 in cash and prices from something as simple as a bunnyhop.
Oh and another notable thing about this year's hop contest is Kyle Hart getting foot loose and stomping an extremely high hop out of a fast-plant.
Here are some Day 3 highlights from Vital BMX!

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Organ Transplant
At the Hospital
When you arrive at the hospital or transplant center because a donor organ has been found, you will immediately be prepared for surgery. Final tests will be done to make sure the donor organ is a good match.
- If the organ is a good match, you will have transplant surgery right away.
- If the organ is not a good match, the organ will be given to a person who is a better match, and you will return home and continue to wait for your new organ.
If your current health condition requires that you be hospitalized while you wait for a donor organ, you will receive supportive and lifesaving care (such as blood pressure support for heart failure) until you are matched with a donor organ.
After your transplant, the amount of time you'll spend in the hospital depends on how healthy you are before the surgery, which organ was transplanted, and how well your body accepts the donated organ.
A longer hospital stay may be needed for a heart or lung transplant than for a kidney transplant. Some people are out of the hospital within a few days after their transplant. Others may need to stay for a few weeks.

Hummel's Trumpet Concerto: From Obscurity to a Staple of the Repertoire
By Susan Lewis
While there are many concertos for string instruments, fewer works exist for woodwinds, brass or percussion. Yet, as Susan Lewis reports, a previously under-performed work for trumpet from the early 19th century became part of the standard repertoire in the second half of the 20th.
The Philadelphia Orchestra's Principal Trumpet David Bilger plays the Hummel Trumpet Concerto in The Philadelphia Orchestra In Concert broadcast on WRTI on Sunday, October 27th at 1 pm. Conducted by Rafael Frubeck de Burgos. The program also includes Orff's Carmina Burana and Haydn's First Symphony.

If you don't mind multi-tasking, a Judd Apatow movie is the perfect accompaniment to a mock draft. They generally start strong, have really slow, long scenes in the middle and I swear an assistant has to tell Apatow "Yes, this movie does actually have to end."
I participated in the 2014 FFToolbox mock draft last night. This was one of many mocks set up by Mr. Toolbox, Scott Atkins. The league included Scott Atkins of FF Toolbox, Micah aka FF Magic Man who does the FF Toolbox podcast, Shane P Hallam, and David Gonos.
It was a 16-round draft with the following starting lineup requirements: QB-2RB-3WR-1TE-2flex-D-K. My strategy going in was the same as it usually is. I like to make that first-round pick the best available guy and react accordingly. I had the 1.03 pick and there was the sneaking suspicion that LeSean McCoy and Jamaal Charles would to 1 and 2, which was the case. I took Matt Forte over Adrian Peterson or Calvin Johnson. Here's my full draft:
1.03: Matt Forte
2.10: Randall Cobb
3.03: Rob Gronkowski
4.10: Toby Gerhart
5.03: Torrey Smith
6.10: Sammy Watkins
7.03: Frank Gore
8.10: Cam Newton
9.03: Jordan Matthews
10.10: Kelvin Benjamin
11.03: Khiry Robinson
12.10: Tyler Eifert
13.03: Russell Wilson
15.03: Antonio Gates
16.10: Shayne Graham
Let's recap the full draft by position. In "expert" drafts, I've seen QB fall and fall and fall. Peyton went 2.11, Aaron Rodgers went 5.08, and Drew Brees went 5.11. Most likely, my best move would have been to grab Peyton at 2.10 or Rodgers at 5.03. Cam disappointed me a bit by being somewhat inconsistent in 2013, but he's still a steady presence. As you see, I got Russell Wilson as my backup in the 13th round.
Because of the ability to start 4 RBs or 5 WRs, those positions were hit hard all the way through. You didn't get any bargains, although Micah getting Lynch at 2.09 seems pretty nice. I recently traded Matt Forte in a dynasty league due to his age. He's only missed five games in six years, but he generally finishes as a low-end RB1 or high-end RB2, so I bought him at no discount. Gerhart's been rising a ton, and I've even seen him go in the third round, so 4.10 seemed solid for my RB2. Frank Gore probably will tail off as the year progresses, because it's going to be hard for 49ers coaches to limit his workload on a weekly basis. Khiry Robinson had a fantastic rookie year on a per-touch basis. If he can take more of Mark Ingram's workload, he could be a spot starter.
I went a bit rookie-heavy in this mock. After getting post-injury Cobb and sneaky riser Torrey Smith, it was youngsters all the way. I'm a big fan of the second-year guys like Justin Hunter, Kenny Stills, DeAndre Hopkins, and Aaron Dobson but they went a bit higher than I liked. Sammy Watkins, Jordan Matthews, and Kelvin Benjamin should get prominent roles in their offenses starting in year one.
Tight end, like QB, dropped due to the one starting position. I'm going to struggle to pass on Gronk at the 2/3 turn. He's had better per-game numbers for his career than Jimmy Graham, and the injury risk is priced in. Jimmy Graham went 1.10, Julius Thomas went 2.12, I took Gronk at 3.03 and the next TE off the board was Jordan Cameron at 5.12. Every once in a while I like to take the older guy who probably still has another year or two of production and Antonio Gates fit the bill in the 15th round. He did tail off in the second half but Philip Rivers isn't going to write Gates out of the game plan.
I drafted one defense and kicker because I had to. This is where the Apatow metaphor fits best. It was a relatively quick mock, starting at 9 p.m. and finishing at 10:30, but the last 30 minutes were a big drag.
How did I do? I took my team to the Fantasy Pros Draft Wizard and the results aren't promising. My team's ranked 9th overall, tied for 7th in starters, and 10th in bench.

New Delhi, July 2 (IANS) Delhi-bred Kunal Nayyar went to the US to study marketing, but as luck would have it he became an actor and now features in the popular American TV show 'The Big Bang Theory' as Rajesh Koothrappali.
'It is quite crazy and weird. I went there as a student and became an actor,' said Kunal, who left India at the age of 18 to do his graduation in marketing.
'It is interesting to play Rajesh as I see him not as a character but as a person trying to fit in America,' Kunal told to IANS.
The 27-year-old says that there are lots of similarities between him and his character in 'The Big Bang Theory'.
'I also have a lot of nerdy elements in me and at the same time I act as a geek like him. I love playing video games and just like him I also like a lot of epic stuff.'
Kunal attended acting classes while pursuing his graduation at the University of Portland, Oregon.
'I always wanted to do acting, but could never find the right platform in India. While studying in the US, I found that there are a lot of opportunities for me to learn acting and that is how I got my bachelors in marketing and my diploma in acting.'
Besides acting, he also enjoys direction and writing. He teamed up with fellow Indian Oroon Das to write a critically acclaimed play 'Cotton County', which was recently staged in the capital.
Now he is writing his first feature film.
'I'm quite happy about the fact that almost everyone knows about it. It is about my own experience of how I came to America and the way things happened and all,' Kunal explained.
And any plans to work in Indian film?
'May be five years down the line you will see me on the big screen in India. It depends on my time schedules. If given a movie, say, for around three months, I would love to do it,' the actor said.
Talking about his acting experience in the US, he said: 'The work culture is quite organised there ... the actors are always on time. The actors, directors ... all have their own unions to protect them. In other words, the work is quite labour oriented in the US.'

Rogers Wireless: Am I paying too much?
I moved to Canada in '09 and am about 20 months into my 3 year contract.
I am on the $100 family voice + data plan from Rogers, which includes 1GB shared data, and... 400 shared minutes, I think? I never actually got a copy of my contract, I'm just trying to decipher my bill.
I have call display on both lines, ($8 each - In Australia, that's completely free with every carrier. )
We end up paying approximately $30 extra a month for 'long distance' charges, which mostly consists of calling from a town 40km away...
All-in-all, total bill is usually about $168.
My partner got an iphone at the beginning of the plan, and I brought my own from Australia. When the iphone 4 came out, I asked if I could get upgrade pricing seeming as I never got a phone initially - they said no.
It SOUNDS like I'm being screwed - I just really haven't thought to look into this until now. Is there anything I could do about this? All advice appreciated.

You're not getting screwed, per se, but I think you could find a better option. Start by getting Rogers to define your plan. You say you get 400 minutes, but do you also get free evenings and weekends? Most people do. What about text messaging, is that included?
$50 each per month would not be unreasonable for unlimited evenings and weekends, 200 anytime minutes, 500 MB of data, and some kind of text plan. However, the first thing you should probably look into is a long distance add on, which would probably reduce your long distance costs.
It's unfortunate that you locked into a contract without getting a phone subsidy, but I'm afraid that there's not much you can do about that now.

Call them and tell them you feel you are paying too much. Rogers is legendary (retentions) for working with you to adjust your bill. If they don't play nice ask them how much it will be to cancel your contract early as there is more competition in the market now than 20 months ago. That will generally get you to the people you need to talk to for adjusting your plan the way you want. In my experience you may have to call back more than once to speak with someone who will be willing to go the extra mile for you as far as setting up your plan.
I would also suggest looking at perhaps splitting the family plan up into two separate plans this way you have more flexibility and can fine tune your specific needs between you and your partner. For example, perhaps you happen to be the one that is using the most long distance minutes and your partner uses almost none - you need the LD pack.
As far as the phone, you may be able to negotiate that but they will almost always force you to renew a 3 year contract. That's how they ensure the subsidy on the phone. I have heard of some people negotiating with only a 2 year renewal but it is very YMMV.
Finally, there are lengthy threads in other forums which discuss the Rogers plans and various options and successes people have had with them. You should read through them and have a look at what may work for you. Just google Rogers + Plans + Forums and they will pop up.

Thanks very much for the insights, and I do intend to place a couple of calls to Rogers once I've gotten myself up to speed on how they usually deal with others.
Do you think I'd be liable for the contract cancellation charges if I wanted to split the family plan into two separate plans? They seem a lot more flexible and I wouldn't need to pay for what I don't use.

Google's acquisition of Nest Labs last week was a bit of a strange one. Why, exactly, did Google spend $3.2bn on a company which makes smoke alarms and thermostats?
It's the second biggest deal in Google's history, and at first glance it seems a bit odd. But you see, Google isn't just buying smoke alarms. It's betting big on the next generation of technology.
You've read me banging on about cloud computing a lot recently. But today I want to look at the internet's next step: 'the internet of things' (IoT).
Google bought Nest because it does IoT very well. The idea behind IoT is that ordinary devices can be improved by connecting them to the web. So Google is not just buying smoke detectors. It surely plans to move the business into all manner of other types of smart gadgetry.
That's why I want to talk about IoT today. In the same way that the internet created a whole new industry, and made millionaires of many, I think the internet of things is about to do the same thing all over again.
Bigger than the internet itself
Up until now, the internet has essentially been a new mode of person-to-person communication. Just about every webpage in existence is there because somebody's taken the time to put their thoughts and ideas down on… well, a hard drive… and then publish it to the web.
The internet of things is different to that. In the future, the web will be filled with all manner of smart gadgets publishing their own information. This data can be analysed and used in so many different and exciting ways.
Though the internet is massive, IoT is likely to be even bigger – and by several magnitudes!
We all know about smartphones. In many respects, they're already right up there in the IoT. Now smart TVs are becoming pretty normal too. And soon, it's going to be everything from electricity meters, to washing machines and maybe even your toaster.
To become smart, all the gadget really needs is to have its own internet identity (ie, an IP address) and a web connection.
Think about a future where, for instance, you have a smart thermostat in each room of your house. It's certainly logical. I mean, right now your heating probably comes on at predetermined times, and it probably heats the whole house.
But what if nobody's home? Or what if mum's at home and she's only interested in a warm lounge? What if the outside temperature doesn't really warrant stoking up the heating anyway? Other smart gadgets in the house will help determine what bits of the house are in use and therefore what needs heating.
The IoT solution gives you a more comfortable and energy efficient home.
Big brother or handy Harry?
I know that a lot of readers have reservations about the sort of newfangled world I'm describing.
But I guess the only reason people will yield personal data is because they get something in return.
It's a symbiotic relationship. Just take Google Maps. Installing this app on a smartphone offers all manner of advantages to the user: from sat nav to what is effectively a Yellow Pages right there in your pocket. And in return, Google gets data… lots of it!
I sometimes find myself using Google Maps while on the occasional ramble. The mapping facility includes paths and tracks I didn't even know existed – I find the whole experience utterly fascinating. But what does Google get in return from me?
Well, Google now knows I've walked across a field. It even knows that it was raining at the time (I got soaked).
Next time I'm browsing the internet, maybe there'll be an ad in the corner for a brand new pair of weatherproof walking boots – or perhaps a specialised rambler's brolly – who knows?
Are these targeted ads useful to me, or an invasion of privacy? That's for you to decide. But all this data collection definitely has its benefits. And these could be serious benefits. How about a monitor on your watch that could forewarn of an imminent heart attack, and may even call an ambulance for you. Useful?
And whether or not you're on board with a benevolent Californian corporation tracking you on your ramble across the South Downs, the upside for investors is pretty clear.
A few ambitious companies, like Nest, are driving his whole IoT story forward.

Songdo is a brand new city built on reclaimed land along waterfront 40 miles southwest of Seoul. Songdo is the world's first 'smart city' where homes, gadgets and people are all interconnected.
Vacuum tubes carry rubbish straight from the home to its point of recycling. Everything from energy needs to security is monitored. Here's a nice little five-minute video courtesy of the BBC if you're interested. Utopia? Or dystopia? However you feel about it, it's a reality.
Last year, Google acquired seven robotics companies. Recently, it's been making acquisitions in the artificial intelligence space too. Combining hardware, software, analytics, robotics and AI tells us a lot about Google's plans, particularly in the area of IoT.
Industrial behemoths IBM and GE are investing too, with the aim of bringing businesses into this futuristic world.
Like it or not, the revolution is coming. We've already looked at Iomart, a stock set to profit from the rise of the cloud. But looking to the future, we should also start getting used to the idea of the internet of things. It's the natural progression.
Google is pushing forward, and as I argued in Wednesday's Right Side, Apple is falling behind. Perhaps we should be thinking of a long Google, short Apple trade?[xyz_lbx_custom_shortcode id=10]

Maurer, A; Pontil, M; (2009) Empirical bernstein bounds and sample variance penalization. In: COLT 2009 - The 22nd Conference on Learning Theory.
Full text not available from this repository.
We give improved constants for data dependent and variance sensitive confidence bounds, called empirical Bernstein bounds, and extend these inequalities to hold uniformly over classes of functions whose growth function is polynomial in the sample size n. The bounds lead us to consider sample variance penalization, a novel learning method which takes into account the empirical variance of the loss function. We give conditions under which sample variance penalization is effective. In particular, we present a bound on the excess risk incurred by the method. Using this, we argue that there are situations in which the excess risk of our method is of order 1/n, while the excess risk of empirical risk minimization is of order 1/√n. We show some experimental results, which confirm the theory. Finally, we discuss the potential application of our results to sample compression schemes.

Geechi niggas with satin sheets
from Jay Z (Ft. Rick Ross) – FuckWithMeYouKnowIGotIt Lyrics on Genius
"Geechee" or "Geechy" refers to the Gullah Geechee people who are direct descendants of African slaves that inhabit the barrier sea islands off the coast of Georgia, North and South Carolina, and Florida. Ross usually uses the word in reference to being country or ghetto.
Satin is known as a luxurious, silky smooth material for bed sheets. Ross has the disposable income to use on a good night's sleep. So basically, Ross is a luxurious hood nigga.
Also a reference to Wale's Chain Music.

A man who crashed an eight-year-old s birthday party in Seattle stole pizza and balloon animals, police said.
The party was being held at Green Lake Wednesday evening. Parents told police the man sat down at a table with several children, ate some of their pizza and took two balloon animals. The parents asked him to leave, but the man refused. The exchange became very heated and parents called police.
Officers found the 28-year-old lying in the grass, shirtless and shoeless. Police said he appeared to be under the influence of a potent relaxant of some kind.
The man was arrested for theft and booked into the King County Jail.

Letters: gay marriage
Gloria Espeseth (Letters, Dec. 13; in response to Leonard A. Foster) points out that not every heterosexual couple has children, so the point of marriage isn't children, but lifelong commitment. Advocates for keeping marriage a gendered institution would say that not every marriage produces children, but every child has a mom and a dad.

The essential public purpose of marriage is to connect children to their mom and dad, to encourage men and women to raise their children not just in a loving and secure environment, but in a two-parent household with their own married mom and dad. We all have an interest in that. None of us has an interest in whether two (or more?) adults form a lasting union for their own mutual benefit. Redefining marriage to eliminate gender dumbs down the institution; it would result in public policy that puts the desires of adults in the center and the needs of children on the periphery.
More than 40 percent of children in our country are born without a married mom and dad. We need to strengthen the connection between marriage and children, not eliminate it. – Martha Martin, Rancho Peñasquitos
Reader Leonard A. Foster's letter (Dec. 12) should not be allowed to stand without comment.
First point: Mr. Foster writes, "If no one can marry another of the same gender, everyone is being treated equally, so there is no inequality." But this claim is egregiously and maliciously specious, because the bottom line is that as long as one group of people is restricted, for no sensible reason, from doing what other people are able to do, the restriction is discriminatory and inherently unequal.
Second point: Mr. Foster writes, "An essential element of marriage is the potential to procreate." Nope, nothing essential about it; no marriage vows that I'm aware of, either religious or civil, require the couple committing to each other to promise to procreate, and indeed, many married heterosexual couples choose not to have children. According to Mr. Foster's logic, perhaps such people should not be permitted to marry, or, if married, should be forced to divorce.
I'm appalled that Mr. Foster's flimsy, flawed analysis of the issue of gay marriage ever saw the light of print. – Conway Redding, La Mesa
Leonard A. Foster (Letters, Dec. 12) makes some very interesting, albeit specious arguments about "marriage." Unfortunately for Mr. Foster, his concept of "marriage" has no relationship to what marriage really is, though it's very clear what he wishes it was; furthermore, there is absolutely no confusion about what marriage consists of.
Marriage is a legal, civil contract between the state and the two people being married. That contract confers legal obligations and privileges upon those people being married. That's it! There is absolutely nothing in any state marriage license that says anything about "an essential element of marriage is the potential to procreate." If that element was part of the civil contract, the state would not allow two unfertile heterosexuals to get married.

It is not uncommon after (or even during) a divorce, a parent seeks to move outside of Massachusetts with the couple's children. Not only does this impact the custody arrangement between parents, but it can impact the relationship between the children and both parents as well.
Because the impact such a move can have between children and parents, the Massachusetts Probate and Family Court does not take such a move lightly. In typical custody cases, where both parents live near one another, the court applies the legal standard of the "best interests of the child." This means the court considers what is best for the child when it comes to custody and a parenting plan. Read on to find out more....

After a year of lawsuits and delays, Loveland, CO, voters reject a two-year fracking suspension
June 25, 2014
By Josh Altic
Electors finally cast votes on an initiative seeking a two-year suspension of all fracking related activity in the city of Loveland on June 24, 2014. Although the margin was very narrow, Question 1 was defeated with 10,844 electors voting to reject the measure and 9,942 voting for it, which amounts to 52.17 percent against and 47.83 percent in favor.[1][2]
With less than 1,000 votes separating defeat from approval, Protect Our Loveland and supporters of the initiative, as well as the Loveland Energy Action Project and opponents, may be left wondering if the long legal battle resulting in an election date of June 24, 2014, may have impacted the outcome of the initiative. Through a jungle of litigation and a final compromise with Larry Sarner, an opponent who sued to keep the initiative off the ballot, Question 1 ended up on a ballot that coincided with the state primary, which was expected to feature a large turnout from voters affiliated with large parties, but less of a showing from independent or small-party voters. Moreover, the primary featured key races for Republican voters, but somewhat unexciting ballots for Democrats.[1][2]
Additionally, the county elections office refused to administer the election for the city as it has done for the last two decades. This left the unequipped city to run the single-measure election itself, which cost the city an estimated $60,000 - about $30,000 more than the estimated cost of holding an election with the county's help.[1]
The measure originally qualified for the November 5, 2013 election ballot, on which anti-fracking initiatives were narrowly approved in Lafayette, Broomfield and Fort Collins. The Loveland city council, however, decided to postpone the fracking issue in its city because of the ongoing lawsuit filed by Sarner.[1]

Forest Rites: The War of the Demoiselles in Nineteenth Century France.
Sahlins begins his account with the outbreak of the War in May 1829, when reports of armed men disguised as women in the royal forest of Saint-Lary in the mountain forests of the Ariege in southwestern France appeared. By July their tactics - firing guns in the air and screaming at forest guards and charcoal-burners - and their objectives - to drive these "enemies" from the forests - had become clear. Sahlins' purpose is not simply to retell these events, but to analyze them from the perspective of a peasant culture that gives meaning to the events recorded in archival materials. Sahlins carefully develops a complicated argument that can only be sketched here. It begins with an investigation into the cultural meaning of the forest itself. Men worked and controlled this space, but it was also a place of cultural inversion and disorder cultivated using the methods (jardinage) with which women cultivated gardens. The forest, he argues, was therefore coded female in peasant culture, even if peasant men were the usual cultivators. The War of the Demoiselles, therefore, can be read as a form of charivari, in which peasant men sought possession and control over a feminine forest in the same way as a traditional charivari expressed male control over the women of the peasant community. The War also drew on the festival calendar of peasant culture, especially the inversion that was a part of carnival, which Sahlins shows provided the rioters with a language that became more obvious as the class dimensions of the conflict emerged in February and March 1830. To this point, Sahlins has been focusing on peasant culture, but the account acquires a larger significance when he links the War in the Ariege with the July Revolution in Paris and its aftermath, for in this he is able to show the parallel and interrelated courses of elite politics and popular culture. The forms of charivari that had served the Demoiselles in 1829 and 1830 became useful to critics of the July Monarchy such as Charles Phillipon and Honore Daumier, in their journals La Caricature and Le Charivari, as well as a form adopted by urban critics of deputies to the National Assembly in 1832. As charivari became increasingly politicized among the elite, its popular manifestations became less acceptable to the authorities. The War therefore allows him to illuminate a key passage in the relations between popular and elite cultures, a development made possible by the revolutionary moment of 1830. As Sahlins properly notes in his Epilogue, to see the War and its unusual aspects, such as the female dress of the rioters, only in functionalist terms is to miss the significance of the peasants' use of their cultural repertoire: he sees a nineteenth-century peasant society that was not immobile, but rather continually adapting to the outside world, using the "traditions and elements of their culture" (p. 133) in their struggle against government officials and others.
Sahlins' book is one of a growing number that criticize the "peasant into Frenchman" orthodoxy of French rural history. His selection of an incident like the War of the Demoiselles makes this a book that is not only fascinating to read but also allows him to make his point about the specificity of uses of rural culture. Such specificity, however, limits his ability to make large statements about rural history, and he seems to accept a relatively confined role for histories such as his own in the reconceptualization of rural history that changing the orthodoxy requires, commenting that "the historians' job is, after all, less to construct models than to make sense of their informants' lives." (pp. 131-132) Those models, of course, themselves structure the ways historians make sense of lives in the past, and painstaking and insightful reconstructions of those lives such as this one must also take on the task of reconstructing those models.

Towers nurtured winning varietal
"It took two or three drafts for us to start gathering players who would fit the new ballpark," Towers says. "We needed time to see how Petco played, to realize how we could win there. You have to develop players.
"Guys like Nevin and Klesko were signed long-term, guys not tailor-made for the ballpark. We started drafting more athletic guys and it's starting to pay dividends."
It didn't help that the team's baseball people weren't consulted when Petco Park was being planned.
"The architects asked about the dugouts and the bullpens, not the dimensions," Towers says. "I remember looking at renderings and seeing that short porch in right field, how it might play for left-handed pull hitters. It's been just the opposite.
"I bet if you did a study, most home runs hit into that porch have been hit by right-handers. And because of all of the construction in the area, affecting the winds, it plays much different from it did when we moved in."
There are few gripes now. The youngsters can handle Petco Park.
"Now, the young guys want to be a part of the park," Towers says. "You're not getting the veterans complaining and, believe me, we got it daily. They wanted us to change dimensions. It got old.
"I'm a throwback, I guess. I always believed in pitching and defense. It took a while to get there. It's exciting to see guys stealing and taking the extras base — and not just the speed guys. I talked to Bochy after the Giants got swept here and I asked him what he sees in these Padres. He said: 'They do an incredible job reading the pitchers; they get good jumps and put pressure on you.'
"This is what Buddy saw when he was in Anaheim. If you get on base and you're a threat, pitchers can forget what pitch they're throwing."
Towers, one of the good guys, doesn't sound like a man whose grapes have gone sour.
"What's to gain by being sour?" he asks. "Nothing. I'll admit I'm somewhat jealous. It would have been nice to see it all the way through, but I'm dead serious: I'm rooting for them hard. Credit the people currently there."
All right, but the asterisk on my keyboard is just above the 8.

I couldn't even play it because of how touchy it is. A little red x appears if you click the wrong spot and then stays there, this makes it very difficult to get nearby spots. The menu button is also covered by an ad which makes it so I can't even use it. Uninstalled, this app sucks.

Great game :-)
(59 stars)
This would be fun, but there are a few problems. Like, when I find a difference, the game is very picky, and I have to hit a certain spot to get it right. Also the fact that I have to hit the back button, and not the back arrow on my phone... Which doesn't seem bad, but the back button has an ad over it. So I have to close the application and reopen it to go back.

|Comically serious: trauma and shame in coming-of-age graphic narratives
|Kinnison, Andrea
graphic novel
generational shift
|The visually arresting nature of the graphic form has appealed to youth from its international emergence in the early twentieth century. Comics of the past, from Little Nemo to The Yellow Kid, were brief and insubstantial, with "a certain naïve vitality to them, which was an accurate reflection of their age," (Berger, 19). Graphic novels, however, deviate from these predecessors and are widely read in the current, less innocent age by its arguably less innocent youth. Therefore it is important to examine both the medium and messages of the graphic form and how it not only relates to the current young generation, but also how it re-appropriates the age-old trope of the coming-of-age story, a form of literature that has been crucial and mandatory reading in schools for decades due to the coming-of-age that inevitably follows adolescence. This paper briefly looks at the relevance of women within coming-of-age graphic novels and examines the questionable idea, posed by author Hillary Chute, that some female-authored narratives best convey ideas of trauma and public versus private spheres. It then looks at these issues in relation to a male-authored coming of age graphic narrative and in relation to the trauma of shame, and argues that this story conveys all these elements satisfactorily.

Anavila Sindhu Mishra's
Inspiration: Mohenjo Daro
What we loved: Channeling a quiet, restraint yet evocative aesthetic - the collection was a visual treat. Whoever said handlooms are frumy should definitely need to see Anavila's saris which are modern in their interpretation. We loved her take on the Ajrak printing, featured at Mohenjo Daro.
Purvi Doshi
Focal point: Aztec
Highlight: A hint of Kutch in the garments was countervailing with hues of saffron, blue, chilli red, green and white. The elaborate mirror work stood out on maxis, saris paired with short kurtas along with flared blouses, tie and dye skirts as well as long kurtas with flared pants.
What could have been better: Some of the ensembles looked overworked and could have been edited to make more impact.
Sashikant Naidu
Focal point: Separates
Highlights: Silks, Dupion, fletcher, ikat and khadi were used along with crepes.
Hues like metallic grey, flower prints, lime green, emerald green and rust reds had exquisite detailing like pom-poms and pleats.
What could have been better: The collection had way too many reference points: hand paintings and shimmer along with embroidery. Some ensembles looked too busy.
Pinnacle by Shruti Sancheti
Inspiration: Benaras silk
Highlights: Easily one of the best shows of the day, silk was woven by Shruti with zari as well as Pochampalli. The show was stunningly colour blocked evoking a festive vibe with a luscious palette of crimson, vermillion, cherry, wine and aubergine, burnt orange, and indigo blue. We especially loved the metallic lotuses on sleeves, clutches and pallavs.
Best look: The opening wrap colour blocked skirt with a slit was super sexy!
Pratima Pandey
Inspiration: 1920's era of women empowerment
Highlights: Chanderi and cotton Madras checks beautifully clashed with floral embroidery in ensembles. A muted floral jumpsuit was sassy and smart. Model's cat eye sunnies and frizzy hair took the looks several notches up.
What didn't work: The styling and layering got a tad repetitive over the show.

Sensual Christianity
The Pre-Raphaelites get the show, and showcase, they deserve.
Apr 15, 2013, Vol. 18, No. 29 • By EVE TUSHNET
Other aspects of the Pre-Raphaelites' ideas get displayed here: We get William Morris's chapbook of "Chants for Socialists" and a room dedicated to the workshop he ran in which many of his fellow artists designed furniture and textiles in an attempt to bring a medievalizing ideal of craftsmanship into the industrial age. There are several paintings based on moral issues, such as the reward due to labor. There is Henry Wallis's portrait The Stonebreaker, in which an exhausted man collapses against a lush hillside by a lake in the early evening hour when the sun glitters on the water. The contrast between the man's slumping posture and the natural beauty all around him makes the out-of-Eden point sharp and clear. The boxy gray planes of his clothes suggest early-20th-century portraits of alienated labor and mass men, like the work of C. R. W. Nevinson.
The exhibit gives a strong sense of the "brotherhood" aspect of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. We get several small portraits they did of one another; the repetition of the same faces portraying different literary, religious, or mythological characters suggests a tightly knit circle of friends. But the show only hints at placing these artists in a broader historical context—although it's not hard to see the foreshadowing of later movements. The weird, volatile mix of sensuality, socialism, and Christianity looks a lot like Oscar Wilde. The insistent humanizing of biblical figures certainly feels very modern, although the Pre-Raphaelites' religious work takes angels and prophecies as seriously as it does human emotions and daily labor.
The Pre-Raphaelites can still make the breath catch in the throat. There's at least one huge, overwhelming showstopper in every room of the exhibition. But the National Gallery also shows off the thoughtfulness and insight of the movement: The Brotherhood was more than a collection of contradictory impulses, a reactionary progressivism covered up with gilt and kisses. The Pre-Raphaelites can make one muse as well as swoon.

About: Investigation of dependencies between multiple data sources allows the discovery of regularities and interactions that are not seen in individual data sets. The demand for such methods is increasing with the availability and size of co-occurring observations in computational biology, open data initiatives, and in other domains. We provide practical, open access implementations of general-purpose algorithms that help to realize the full potential of these information sources.Changes:
Three independent modules (drCCA, pint, MultiWayCCA) have been added.
About: ALGLIB is an open source numerical analysis library distributed under GPL 2+. It implements both general numerical algorithms and machine learning algorithms. ALGLIB can be used from C#, C++, FreePascal, VBA and other languages. It is the only numerical analysis library which uses automatic translation to generate source code written in different programming languages with 100% identical functionality.Changes:
