WALLA WALLA - How about 100 points, 15 fumbles and two interceptions? That's what you got at Ty Baffney Field here Friday in Southeast 2B football action.
DeSales outscored Asotin, 70-30.
En route, the Irish forced and took advantage of nine Panther turnovers, while turning the ball over twice themselves. DeSales forced 10 Panther fumbles - and recovered seven - and grabbed two interceptions, returning one for a touchdown.
The Irish fumbled five times and lost two.
DeSales ran up 464 yards of total offense, and scored 10 TDs in improving its SE2-B record to 2-1.
"It was a very interesting game," Irish coach Pat Graham said. "Lots of points and a lot of turnovers. We got up on them at halftime, 35-8, and our kids came out a little bit flat after halftime. Sometimes, you look at the scoreboard and let down a little bit. Asotin kept battling and playing hard, and we matched them point-for-point in the second half. I would've liked to see us play a little bit harder in some of those spurts in the second half."
Asotin's first punt of the game was muffed by the Irish, and the Panthers' Clay DeBord recovered at the Irish 20.
It was to be one of those nights for the Panthers. After a first down at the DeSales' 8, Kyle Lindgren forced a fumble and Luke Fazzari fell on it for the Irish.
DeSales went 88 yards in nine plays with Jeremiah Cox hitting Nick Wales on a 5-yard scoring pass for a 7-0 Irish lead.
The Panthers answered behind an 80-yard kickoff return from Dillon Glover. Johnathon Miller took it in from the 1 and ran in the 2-point conversion for an 8-7 Panther lead with 4:18 left in the first quarter.
Lindgren piled in from the 1 - his first of five rushing TDs - following a 58-yard kick off return by Joe Duehn, to cap a 36-yard Irish march. Arturo Martinez, who replaced an injured Vic Mata, converted the first of nine consecutive successful PATs as DeSales took a 14-8 lead with 2:14 to play in the first.
DeSales recovered three Panther fumbles and scored three times - Cox-to-Tommy Gregg for 29 yards, and two 1-yard plunges from Lindgren - in the second period to go to intermission up 35-8.
"We knew they were going to be physical," Gregg said. "We thought if we executed everything we could come out on top."
Forty-three points went on the board in the third period. The Panthers struck on a 27-yard pass from Ben Servatius to Glover to cut the Irish lead to 35-14 with 10:04 to play.
Cox teamed up with Gregg for a 23-yard scoring pass to cap a 61-yard Irish drive for a 42-14 lead with 8:16 left in the third quarter.
The Irish grabbed two more Panther fumbles and went to the fourth with a 56-30 lead.
"The last couple of weeks, we've only had a few turnovers," Graham said. "We told them (our defense), 'We have to force some turnovers.' We had a bunch of guys around the football and we were able to jump on some of those fumbles. That was a real key to stopping them because they are pretty potent on offense when they are putting it together."
Gregg capped the Irish scoring with a 45-yard interception return to make it 70-30 with 1:26 to play.
Wales picked off the last Panther chance at his own 5 to put an end to this one.
Gregg caught nine passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Irish receivers.
"On their defense, we saw some areas that were susceptible," Gregg said. "We took advantage of that. Jeremiah (Cox) threw a lot of good balls and the line worked hard."
The Irish defense gave up 275 yards of offense to the Panthers, but the nine forced turnovers never allowed the Panthers to get any offensive rhythm.
"They (the coaches) emphasize in practice that when one guy tackles, to come in with another guy ripping at the ball," Gregg said of the Irish defense. "We did that tonight."
Lindgren ran 30 times for 161 yards and scored five TDs.
Cox threw for 196 yards and three TDs, and added 107 rushing yards including a rushing TD.
"You know what you're going to get with Kyle (Lindgren) - he's going to run hard and get you those tough yards and break one or two," Graham said. "Jeremiah (Cox) was very efficient in the passing game. He made some good reads and hit guys that were open."
On the injury front, Mata hurt his knee and will be further evaluated. Graham reported that Mike Matthews may have suffered a concussion and was taken to the hospital for further evaluation.
The Irish travel to Dayton Friday.
"If we want to keep playing, we have to clean some things up," Gregg said. "We've got to keep getting better."

CMOS scaling... beyond 10nm!
this is a bit of good news, I think :)
Re: CMOS scaling... beyond 10nm!
You have a lot of companies investing a lot of dollars to continue Moore's law.
They may have workable and know road maps till 10nm, but they have plans up to 6nm at least.
Those maps are drawn over 10 years earlier, to identify what is needed to make it happen and dedicate the correct resources at the right time.
By now, all manufacturers are basically working together on those. They used to have 2 consortium (one centered on Intel and the other with pretty much everyone else, like IBM/TSMC/Samsung), but they are basically merging into one as the cost of researching those technologies become more ludicrous and the volume needed for break-even is unattainable by a single company.
Re: CMOS scaling... beyond 10nm!
what's that material that isn't graphene but the same structure?

Pumpkin Seed Kit
by Kathleen Mullendore
Kit contains 8 panels of Quiltsmart Rob Pete interfacing & instructions. Will make Tablerunner(24" x 48"), or Lap(55" x 66"). The finished block size: 11.25". The Pumpkin Seed pattern is a fun and fast variation of the pattern Rob Peter to Pay Paul. The classic way to piece the Pumpkin Seed is difficult to master because it involves sewing many curves to curves. As a result, many quiltmakers avoid this pattern. But, this method is EASY! Quiltsmart specializes in taking traditionally challenging quilts and making them easier to construct. The pieced-by-applique' technique uses printed fusible interfacing to eliminate curved and inset piecing. It is a beginner-friendly pattern. Kit does not include fabric.

Choice AU 1796 Quarter, B-21796 25C AU55 NGC. High 6, B-2, R.3. The 6 in the date nearly touches the bottom of the drapery, and star 15 is twice as far from the bust as it is on the B-1 Low 6 quarter. The T and Y in LIBERTY do not touch on the B-2, although they are close, while they merge on the B-1 variety. On the B-2 the digits of the date are equidistant, while on the B-1 the date is spaced 1 79 6, with the 7 and 9 too close. The tiny mintage of 6,146 pieces appears to have been rather unevenly split between the considerably rarer B-1 and the more-available B-2, both of which share a common reverse. However, the B-2 usually shows weakness on the eagle's head, while the B-1 occasionally shows perfect impressions that lack mentionable weakness.
While the year 1796 is a year replete with rarities in copper, silver, and gold denominations, the 1796 quarter occupies a unique niche as the premier first-year silver coin of that denomination, one that would not be minted again until 1804. Accordingly, while some other coin denominations minted during the year may be technically rarer, both varieties of 1796 quarter are in demand as one-year type coins, and due to their low mintage, both varieties are considered rare.
In both technical and aesthetic terms this is a simply gorgeous piece, with light pinkish-gray patina on the obverse, to which the reverse adds some iridescent steel-blue and green coloration. Considerable mint luster remains under the light patina, and the few adjustment marks through the eagle's head, the O of OF, the wreath nearby, and the lower clouds are not particularly distracting. The eagle's head is typically struck. This fine Choice AU 1796 quarter is destined to form the centerpiece of a fine and memorable collection.

Character on the show: Dr. Diego Soto, a geeky type who teams with the San Francisco Police in a supernatural investigation of Alcatraz prison.
Character similarities: Like the ever-helpful Hurley in "Lost," Soto appears to be a key player in uncovering the mystery behind the island penitentiary. Whether his storyline is intertwined in the major arch of the show the way Hugo's was remains to be seen.

The Palestinian held for stabbing an Israeli female soldier this month is suspected of acting alone.
Details about the March 15 assault aboard the Jerusalem light rail emerged Monday when the suspect, an 18-year-old resident of eastern Jerusalem, was remanded in court.
Citing an account given by the suspect under interrogation, police said he stabbed and seriously wounded the 18-year-old female conscript after boarding the train instead of going to school.
The suspect, who was captured later in the day while trying to travel to the West Bank city of Ramallah, described the attack as revenge for Israel's treatment of the Palestinians, police said. But they added that he did not appear to have links to organized Palestinian terrorism.
The investigation is continuing; a trial date has yet to be set.

This year more then any other it will be important to clean up all that old vegetable debris.
It was a wet season, so therefore, an active fungal disease season. We need to remove the old, dead debris to remove the disease from the vicinity. Pull up plants and rake away leaves once the plants have stopped producing.
What should have been a two-hour trip took four hours! The path Chloe and I chose looked like a shortcut on the map. We didn't take into consideration that the shortcut was a one-lane gravel road that had a speed limit of 35 miles an hour. I was getting restless! "Dad, we have been on this road for an hour and haven't seen one single person, much less a police officer! Can't we drive faster, say 50 miles an hour?" "Dogwood, the speed limit is 35.

Circa 1928 Miller Huggins & Pat Collins Signed Baseball. The Hall of Fame manager for the New York Yankees' signature upon an OAL (Barnard) ball provides the thinnest of windows for its application, as Huggins would come to a sudden, tragic end during the last week of the 1929 season, only two years after Barnard's inauguration. The diminutive skipper's passing over eight decades ago has had the expected effect upon his autograph's availability, particularly on horsehide, so this 7/10 representation is worthy of attention. It is placed directly below that of catcher Pat Collins, whose 1926-28 service to the Bronx narrows the possible date of production even further. His autograph survives at 8/10 strength. The ball is otherwise free of writing. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.

Originally written on The Flagrant Fan | Last updated 12/26/12
If you look at the overall value of non-pitching ballplayers over the last two seasons, you would probably guess most of the top five players. But it is almost guaranteed that you would miss who comes in at Number Five. You have Braun on top. Yup. Cabrera is second. Indeed. Cano is third. Got it. McCutchen is fourth. A mild surprise, but okay. And then there is Alex Gordon. Alex Gordon? Yes, Alex Gordon, the king of Missouri. And Alex Gordon is one of those rare players where Fangraphs and Baseball-Reference actually agree. Fangraphs says Gordon has compiled 12.8 fWAR the last two seasons. B-R gives him 13.3 rWAR. The problem for Gordon is that he has played for the Kansas City Royals, a team whose celebrated team bloggers are more known for their ire and anger at the team's management than anything else.

Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.

Nexus 5: Excellent global coverage, perplexing LTE support November 4, 2013 at 9:13 am
Last week, Google formally introduced the Nexus 5 by LG to the world, along with Android 4.4 KitKat. The Nexus 5 is a major refresh to the Nexus smartphone line, and offers great network capabilities for networks across the world for the price Google is selling it for.
Nokia unveils Lumia 1520 phablet and Lumia 2520 Windows 8 tablet October 22, 2013 at 12:12 pm
At Nokia World in Abu Dhabi, Nokia has unveiled the Lumia 1520 phablet and Lumia 2520 tablet. Nokia also announced major Windows Phone ecosystem wins, such as the imminent release of Instagram, Vine, Flipboard, and Xbox Video for Windows Phone 8. The Lumia 1520 is a hilariously oversized 6-inch Windows Phone 8 phablet, and the Lumia 2520, which runs Windows RT 8.1 and has built-in LTE support, marks Nokia's grand (and very colorful) entrance into the tablet market.

Verizon pleads incompetence, skirts illegality by refusing to activate Nexus 7 on its LTE network September 17, 2013 at 4:24 pm
The Nexus 7 is an inexpensive tablet with solid specs and an unlocked LTE radio that works on most carriers worldwide. Basically, this device is everything Verizon fears. So perhaps no one should be surprised that early adopters who have taken their Nexus 7 tablets into Verizon to be activated have been told the devices are incompatible.

Sol, the $350 solar-powered rugged Ubuntu laptop that won't be usable in the sun August 6, 2013 at 10:29 am
If you're gifted with independently manipulable eyebrows, now would be the time to raise a single brow. An inventor in Canada claims to have created a solar-powered Ubuntu laptop that can run directly from power generated by its built-in solar panels, or recharge its 10-hour battery with just two hours of sunshine. If that wasn't enough, the laptop — pretentiously dubbed Sol — is ruggedized for military and off-road use and you also get built-in GPS, Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi, and 3G/4G LTE. The best bit, though, is the price: The Sol will cost just $350.

Let's take this walk together!
Well, to describe oneself is not the easiest thing to do in just a few words...but here's something to start with. I am very outgoing, ambitious, confident, and hard working and enjoy a good laugh. People would describe me as honest, down-to-earth, dependable, caring and fun to be around. I love to travel and to explore interesting places and have been to several places around the globe, but there's still plenty more I have yet to make my way to.....Perhaps you can join me! I'm always into finding new/different things to do so that I can diversify myself. I enjoy all kinds of music, movies, sports, exploring different cultures and cuisines, and when I'm free, I like to read a good book, go out cycling and walk the streets of NYC just to name a few. Family and friends are important to me and I am grateful to have them in my life. And now I'm ready to find someone to be apart of this mix who is genuine, caring, honest, has a good sense of humor and likes to have fun, just to start with!
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Basketball, Bowling, Cycling, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.

Delaware River Waterfront CorpRead MoreAs the sun sets and the skyline's lights dance across the waters of the Delaware River, there's hardly a prettier place to be than the Blue Cross RiverRink Winterfest?and that's before the twice-hourly musical light show starts. From the afternoon late into the night, families whirl around an ice rink built right beside the river as the trees come alive with twinkling color and crackling fire pits. Even when the temperature drops, visitors might easily be tempted to stay for hours. The Lodge Restaurant and Bar and the Fireside Cafe are two popular spots to cozy up with snacks, hot chocolate, or hot cocktails. Or you can warm your hands yourself with s'mores supplies and fire pits in the Winter Garden.201 South Columbus BoulevardPhiladelphia, PA US
Rolling Thunder Skating CenterRead MoreWalking into Rolling Thunder Skating Center feels a lot like walking into an indoor carnival: there are rides inside, an arcade with video games and skeeball, and there's even a mural of a rollercoaster on the walls. Still, the center's core identity pulses on the groove of pure roller fun, boasting an expansive rink and its own pizzeria. Around the whole scene, skaters can glide and groove to Top-40 tunes. Parents can join kids on the rink, or watch from the booths in the seating area to ensure that their kids are safe and aren't mouthing any lyrics to Will Smith's Parent's Just Don't Understand.7017 Roosevelt Blvd.Philadelphia, PA US
Wissahickon Skating ClubRead MoreThe carefully maintained rink at Wissahickon Skating Club has been inspiring hockey players and figure skaters since 1956. One of the only skating clubs in the U.S. to own its own facility, Wissahickon also hosted the 1998 U.S. National Figure Skating Championship. Today, the club offers public and members-only skating sessions as well as lessons, clinics, and camps.550 W Willow Grove Ave.Philadelphia, PA US
Millennium Skate WorldRead MoreMillennium Skate World is one of the few places where it's socially-acceptable to strap wheels to your feet and take a spin on someone else's polished wood floors. Lively music sets the tone at this family-friendly hub as lights flicker and dance in time, and skaters whirl past a vibrant mural of the Las Vegas strip, with the famous Las Vegas sign adapted to reflect Millennium Skate World instead. Skating is also a great opportunity for families to be active and healthy together, providing a great workout for all ages. When it's time to take a break from looping around the rink, skaters can grab a bite at the on-site cafe or belly up to games at the arcade.1900 Carman StCamden, NJ US
Cherry Hill Skating and Fun CenterRead MoreFor many local residents, rolling around the rink at Cherry Hill Skating and Fun Center is a bit of a tradition. The center has been open well over 35 years—so for many visitors, strapping on a pair of skates brings a wave of nostalgia. It also doesn't hurt that they have adult skate nights, when DJs spin tunes from the '70s, '80s, and '90s. Of course, the center also caters to children; in addition to open-skate sessions, Cherry Hill Skating and Fun Center hosts youth hockey and birthday parties. An onsite shop also sells skates, wheels, and accessories, so people can roll over all the flat surfaces they find out in the wild.664 Deer RdCherry Hill, NJ US
The Rink at Old York RoadRead MoreThe ice at The Rink on Old York Road is ready and waiting year-round, inviting skaters to speed along its glassy surface or leap into a double spin, no matter the season. For those who are just lacing up their skates for the first time, the rink offers lessons that cater to both children and adults. Group classes help them master the fundamentals in a fun, social setting, while private instruction can help them hone their technique and work through difficult maneuvers until they can navigate the ice with all the grace of a ballerina on roller blades. When open skate is not in session, the rink is home to flying pucks during home games for the Old York Road Raisers, as well as during youth hockey league practices and tournaments.8116 Church Rd.Elkins Park, PA US

A method and an apparatus for multimedia data management are disclosed. The method provides an indexing and retrieval scheme for digital photos with speech annotations based on image-like patterns transformed from the recognized syllable candidates. For annotated spoken content, the recognized n-best syllable candidates are transformed into a sequence of syllable-transformed patterns. Eigen-image analysis is further adopted to extract the significant information to reduce the dimensionality. Vector quantization is applied to quantize the syllable-transformed patterns into feature vectors for indexing. The invention of indexing scheme reduces the dimensionality and noise of data, and achieves better performance of 16.26% for speech annotated photo retrieval.

8. The apparatus as claimed in
9. The apparatus as claimed in
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for multimedia data management by using syllable-transformed images in speech annotation and retrieval of multimedia data.
The rapid growth of Internet and the popularity of digital image capture devices, such as digital video camera, digital camera, and digital video recorder, provide more channels for the user to easily obtain multimedia data. As the user acquires more multimedia data, the difficulty of multimedia data management also increases.
Although there exist several multimedia data management methods and systems, most of the existent methods and systems use text or language-to-text to describe, index and retrieve the multimedia data. The current multimedia data annotation and search technologies can be categorized as four types: text-based annotation and search, speech-to-text-based annotation and search, graphical analysis search, and speech annotation and search.
The text-based annotation and search method is simple, but has the disadvantages of requiring long text input and being constrained by the system keywords in the annotation and search process. U.S. Pat. No. 6,833,865 disclosed an embedded metadata engine in digital capture devices. By adding the image content analysis function to the digital image capture device, the extra information related to the contents can be automatically generated through the image content analysis function, and stored with the original image data. However, this patent is only suitable for dynamically generating annotation for the image, but did not disclose any method for searching images.
The speech-to-text-based method requires speech recognition device, which leads to the language-related constraints. U.S. Pat. No. 6,397,181 disclosed a method and apparatus for voice annotation and retrieval of multimedia data. The speech input is used in annotation, and a speech recognition technique is used to transform the speech into text. The text annotation is used to generate a reverse index table. The search also uses speech input, which is used to generate a search keyword through speech recognition technique. The reverse index table is then used to find the matching multimedia data.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,499,016 disclosed a method for automatically storing and presenting digital images using a speech-based command language. The speech-to-text approach is used in annotation, and the text is used in search. The user can use the speech to annotate the picture in real-time when using a digital camera. With a plurality of commands, statement speech input, the annotation, such as time and place, can be sent to the server with the image. The server uses speech recognition to transform the speech to the text for storage. Based on the text annotation, the user can use a keyword to dynamically generate a photo album for viewing.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,813,618 disclosed a system and method for acquisition of related graphical material in a digital graphics album. The patent uses text search to achieve the object of finding a graphic with another graphic. The user can search the network to find the related images.
To use the graphical analysis in search, the system requires the capability of graphical analysis. Although the user does not need to annotate each picture, the user can only search for graphics, and the user must first find the graphic to use for the basis for the search; therefore, it is difficult to precisely analyze the graphical contents. The article "An active Learning Framework for Content-Based Information Retrieval" in Multimedia, IEEE Transactions on Vol. 4, Issue 2, June 2002, pp. 260-268, disclosed a content-based information retrieval technique to construct an attribute tree for marking the images.
There are several methods using voice search, including direct comparison between the search condition and the annotated original voice data, or using voice recognition to transform the voice into N-gram combination to construct an index vector, and then performing voice indexing. The former requires a large amount of time in comparison when the data volume is large, and the latter is restricted by the language-dependent characteristics.
Although all the above four types of multimedia data annotation and retrieval technologies are used, all these technologies have their respective issues as stated above, and are language-dependent, therefore, the user is restricted to the use of certain languages or voices.
It is, therefore, imperative to provide a simplified data management method, a fast mechanism to search for multimedia data, and a voice and language independent indexing and searching method.
The present invention has been made to overcome the above-mentioned drawback of the conventional multimedia data management. Examples of the present invention may provide a method and an apparatus for multimedia data management.
The present invention uses syllable-transformed patterns and eigen-image analysis to search speech annotated images. For digital photo with speech annotation, the present invention may provide a novel indexing and search technique based on the image-like pattern transformed from the recognized syllable candidate. This technique also provides a mechanism to transform voice into code to achieve the language independent search.
The multimedia data management method of the present invention may include the following three steps. The first step is to use an automatic speech recognizer to transform the captured annotated eigen-voice into an image-like pattern. The second step is to construct an indexing database using the eigen-image processing. The third step is to use the natural speech to search the multimedia data during the search.
Based on the above method, the present invention may provide an apparatus for multimedia data management, including a multimedia data index production module, and a multimedia data search module. The multimedia data index production module transforms the captured annotated eigen-voice into an image-like data, and captures the eigen coefficients of the image-like data to construct an index database. The multimedia data index search module uses the natural speech to search the multimedia data.
When the present invention is applied on the speech annotations of 1055 collected digital photos, the present invention achieves better correctness in index search with a shorter search time in comparison with the conventional methods, such as index search by syllables, characters, and words.
The foregoing and other objects, features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood from a careful reading of a detailed description provided herein below with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
The following describes the method and apparatus for multimedia data management of the present invention. In the description, the apparatus for multimedia data is described by the modules. A module, especially the functionality of the module, can be realized by hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software.
The main purpose of the speech recognition is to use the computer to recognize the natural speech so that the computer can further execute the corresponding task. When the natural speech is digitized by the analog-to-digital converter, and stored in the computer, the speech recognizer will compare the input test speech sample with the previously established speech recognition model to find the best match so that the test speech sample can be understood.
Before using the automatic speech recognition, the probability and statistic method is used to establish a recognition model from the collected language and text data required for speech recognition, including a language model and a phonetic model.
The recognition result is used to understand the annotated content of the image. There still exists speech recognition error in the current speech recognition technology. The error includes statistical deviation leading to recognition model confusion, as well as common pronunciation confusion, such as "b" and "p", "ee" and "chee", and so on.
Therefore, the present invention uses the syllable-based recognizer to effectively establish the index database with all the syllables defined by the recognizer. Also, a confusion matrix is established with all the defined syllables to translate the syllables into the corresponding syllable scores for measuring the confusion against other syllables. To avoid error, the present invention uses the best n results as the candidates, called n-best syllable candidates, where n is a natural number.
If each syllable is treated as a pixel in an image, the recognition result of the speech is like an image with colors displaying various shades and similarity relationship. The present invention uses the multidimensional scaling (MDS), as shown in
The speech-annotated and query speech can be transformed into a codeword sequence through the above process. The present invention uses term frequency and inverse document frequency (tf�idf) to construct a vector index. The vector index represents the information of annotated content. When the user uses speech to input a query condition, the same process is applied to transform the query condition into a vector dimension data. During search, the inner product of the query speech vector and the vector index in the database is computed for comparison, and the matched result is returned to the user.
The analysis of eigen-image is performing the principal component analysis (PCA) on the image data. The advantage is to extract significant feature of the transformed image-like data, as well as to reduce the noise data interference. The PCA can be implemented in many ways. Without the loss of generality, the following working example uses the covariance matrix estimation and singular value decomposition (SVD) for description.
The major purpose of SVD is to project all the dimensions of the image vector onto a single latent space with significantly reduced dimensionality.
As shown in
The experiments show that the present invention has less data dimensionality, faster search speed, and 16.26% of improvement in search.
In summary, the present invention provides a method and an apparatus for multimedia data management, including adding speech annotation to multimedia data and using syllable image-like data to construct index and search multimedia data. The speech data are processed and a syllable matrix is constructed. The similarity computation is used to estimate the syllable score to transform the recognized result into an image-like data. Finally, the eigen-image is used to construct index, and through the comparison of annotation and the query speech, the precision rate of matching in finding multimedia data is improved.
Based on the speech annotation, the index construction for multimedia data must first extract the feature of the speech, and the n-best syllable candidates are generated through the automatic speech recognizer. Then, the image-like transformation transforms the n-best syllable candidates into image-like data. Through the eigen-image analysis, the features are extracted and the noise reduced. Then, the similar syllables are clustered to construct codeword and codebook. Finally, each input speech passes through the above process to transform into a codeword sequence, which is used to construct an index by the widely used tf�idf statistic method.
During search, the input speech query passes through the same process to generate vector index, and compared with the index in the database to find out the matching multimedia data.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the details described thereof. Various substitutions and modifications have been suggested in the foregoing description, and others will occur to those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, all such substitutions and modifications are intended to be embraced within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Life for women in the city is often exhausting and filled with anxiety. Simple acts of being in public spaces require forethought and planning. Whether it's a supermarket in London, a crowded market in Cairo, or riding the subway in New York, women must also remain aware of harassment and the threat of violence. The more densely populated and poorer the city is, the greater these risks become. For most, these problems are chalked up to life in the big city.
But what if it doesn't have to be?
In the early 1990s, the city of Vienna, Austria made a commitment to create equal access to city resources for women and men. From everything ranging from education to healthcare, they created policies that ensured everyone was treated equally. This even included how the city itself was designed.
They started surveying how men and women went about their daily lives. The data showed that women often had much more complicated routines than men, often because they were tasked with tending to the needs of the entire family. This was time consuming due to having to go to several destinations to complete tasks such as getting children to school, work, or food shopping – often with the goal of doing so before it got dark.
For women, consideration of their safety was common in every activity they undertook.
This realization led to a pilot program for a new kind of living space. They created the Women-Work-City, which was an apartment community focused on making women's lives easier. The apartment buildings were situated around opens spaces of grassy courtyards with plenty of room for children to play and their parents to keep an eye on them. Public transportation was nearby, making getting to work and school much quicker. It even had an onsite kindergarten and pharmacy.
Over the next two decades, Vienna would continue to specifically consider the needs of women and children when designing the city. Sidewalks were made bigger, better lighting was installed and public transportation was redesigned. They even discovered that boys and girls used the parks differently. This led to a redesign of city parks, leading to increased use by everyone.
Yes, these changes were good for men, too.
San Antonio, Texas also spent a great deal of time in the 1990s doing surveys and studies as they expanded their city. Their research showed that the ability to live, work and play in proximity was of great importance. Furthermore, perceived safety was paramount.
This past September, the quarterly Urban Renaissance luncheon was held in San Antonio. The topic "Designing Downtown for Women" discussed how the downtown areas of cities could be improved by considering the needs, preferences and priorities of women. Keynote speaker Dave Feehan presented research that showed women make the overwhelming majority of retail and residential decisions, control (though not necessarily own) the majority of private wealth and are the majority of college graduates.
It only makes sense that the spaces which they occupy regularly work for them.
As he puts it, when designing downtown areas, "The experience economy outweighs the commodities economy." This includes attention to details, like the cleanliness of public restrooms, the amount of shade in open spaces and the safety of parking areas.
Safety matters to women all over the world.
In 2010, the UN Women Global Safe Cities Initiative was launched with the purpose of advancing the global movement to make cities safer for women and girls. The focus in the five pilot cities — New Dehli, India; Cairo, Egypt; Kigali, Rwanda; Quito, Ecuador; and Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea – was to work with cities and organizations to develop concrete solutions to reduce sexual harassment and violence against women in public spaces. The program has expanded to additional cities ranging from Beirut to London, with help from organizations like UNICEF and UN-Habitat, which work with municipalities to create public spaces that are environmentally sustainable and safe for women and girls.
It is their belief that if you change the space, you can change the behavior.
The initiatives focus on awareness, communication, data collection and action. One of the key elements of their initiative is the direct involvement of women's groups in creating solutions. Women are still a minority in the key areas of urban development, including architecture, city planning and civil engineering. These professions are overwhelmingly dominated by men, and there are even fewer women in decision making positions.
As officials in Vienna learned, a woman's perspective matters.
Vienna's Urban Planning Group gender expert, Eva Kail explains, "There are so many questions to ask" when planning public spaces. "You need to know who is using the space, how many people, and what are their aims. Once you've analyzed the patterns of use of public space, you start to define the needs and interests of the people using it. It's a political approach to planning. It's about bringing people into spaces where they didn't exist before or felt they had no right to exist."
In the words of the late James Brown, "This is a man's world, but it would be nothing without a woman or a girl."

sounds awesome. that they even care to TRY is awesome!
Any real man will have no problem with these proposals.
Thank you for sharing.
so glad people are waking up to this
Great article and ways to reconsider how social infrastructure is shaped by material spaces.
Two thoughts:
1. Was quoting James Brown, who was charged several times for spousal abuse, appropriate in an article that was challenging violence (physical and psychological) against women? It seems in poor taste to celebrate his perspective of women here.
2. What does it say about gender equity when the keynote speaker at a conference entitled "Designing Downtown for Women" is a man? It seems patronizing to have men recognized as the leaders of this movement. "Don't worry girls, we've got your back."
Until these invisible sites of inequity are recognized and addressed, the potential for cities (and society) to be truly equitable for all genders will remain a fantasy.
Thank you Alfred D for your concerns..most women aren't safe in their own homes due to domestic violence even in the most affluent countries/societies..the only travel that some of them do is to the emergency department at the nearest hospital
I'd like to see that :)
A French female journalist reporting on the protesters occupying Tarir Square in Cairo was beaten up and publicly gang raped be a dozen or so of these supposedly God fearing animals.Women in some countries are looked upon as chattels and treated like essential but unwanted property.European women are not safe while visiting Middle Eastern countries.

You seem to misunderstand. With 2x AA enabled, there will be some edge angles to which no AA is actually applied (i.e. when the triangle edge is parallel to the sampling pattern). This is not the case with 4x AA or higher.
No I Understand what you ment but your wording in not correct. If you wrote a very adaptive edge detection algorithm then even in x2 mode you could have a sample point inside the edge and detect it. However thats not the point here. We are taking about a method that NEVER will when Alpha test is used vers a method that fails only under certin conditions...
If you're an EE with so much experience, it should be obvious to you that this is not a performance optimization, but a transistor budget decision.
You know for one that complains about personal attacks so much you would think you would not attack others like this. Thanks for the cheap shot. BTW I am not a graphics designer. I do have experince in DSP, Digital, some IC Fab work and Cell phone/pagers design (including protocol, analog, RF and Manufacturing). So I know enough about how to design for many different enviorments.
But back to the point you do realize that its the same AF method they used back in the R8500 just with an tweak to handle angles better. Thus its a perfromnace tweak as ATI themselves have stated.....

Environment: Content from Across the ABC

Rudy, if you keep up to date with the literature, you'll know that Rockstrom et al's "A safe operating space for humanity", Nature (464), 24 September 2009, proposed nine ecological limits which should not be crossed.
Of these nine, we have already crossed three:
- atmospheric CO2 is way past 350 ppm
- species extinction rate should not exceed 10 species per year per million known species (present extinction rate is presently at least 10 times that)
- the amount of nitrogen fertilisers obtained from atmospheric nitrogen should not exceed 35 million tonnes per year (presently ~120 million tonnes per year).
For the planet's sake, the sooner we humans undergo population reduction, the better. It's our choice whether we wake up to ourselves, or let nature do the job for us.


text: Another Rovio teaser points to Angry Birds Star Wars update, Escape from Hoth Stormy Beach 29 January, 2013 1 Comment Looks like we have more than one update from Rovio headed our way soon. We just saw that Bad Piggies is getting an update soon, now we see another hint towards an update for Angry Birds Star Wars. A tweet from the Angry Birds twitter account this morning offers up a look at the Millennium Falcon headed in the depths of a cavern. The tweet came with a few hash tags, one being #ComingSoon. That should mean we will see an update shortly. It also listed #EscapeFromHoth and #AngryBirdsStarWars. It is pretty easy to see and know what is finally about to be available. As always, we don't have a date to look forward too. We will keep our eyes peeled for this update to hit the Play Store though. I know I am ready for a new Angry Birds Star Wars planet and set of levels. Let's hope they don't push it out the same day as Bad Piggies, that would just be mean. Source: @AngryBirds via DroidGamers http://www.angrybirds365.com PeterRedBird I guess there will be more golden eggs and bonus levels with this update! Awesome. I will need to update my golden egg list http://www.angrybirds365.com/angry-birds-star-wars-golden-eggs/

RaboDirect PRO12: Treviso raced to a 32-12 bonus point win over Dragons
Last Updated: 01/12/12 5:44pm
Christian Loamanu notched a brace of tries as Treviso comfortably saw off the challenge of the Dragons in a 32-13 bonus point win.
Young full-back Tom Prydie did his best to keep the visitors in their RaboDirect PRO12 clash by scoring all of their points at the Stadio di Monigo on Saturday, including two early penalties.
But in between those kicks, the home side notched the opening try of the match via Italian international scrum-half Edoardo Gori and they did not look back.
Tongan-born Japanese centre Loamanu added a try midway through the first half to further boost Treviso's advantage.
A yellow card for winger Will Harries late on in the opening period made things even more difficult for the Newport outfit and the Italians took full advantage with a try from Luke McLean right on the stroke of half-time to make it 20-6.
No sooner had the two sets of players re-emerged onto the pitch than Loamanu had made another great break and touched down to complete his brace and seal the bonus point for the hosts.
Prydie did cross ten minutes later to give the Welshmen some hope but that was soon extinguished on the hour mark as Harries was sent off after receiving his second yellow card of the afternoon.
Treviso probably should have scored more in the final quarter but they had to settle for just one more try from replacement Tobias Botes to wrap up a comfortable victory and complete a trio of home wins against Welsh regions so far this season.
