To facilitate legal research, companies, such as Thomson West provide subscription-based online information-retrieval systems. Seeking to improve these and related IR systems, the present inventors recognized researchers often overlook some types of documents, such as legal encyclopedias and treatises that may be useful to them. Accordingly, the present inventors devised systems, methods, and software that automatically search for other types of documents not specifically targeted by user queries. One exemplary system automatically submits a user query for legal opinions to first and second databases, with the first storing legal opinions and the second storing non-opinion documents, such as headnotes from the West Key Number System, articles from American Law Reports, and/or articles from American Jurisprudence.
1. A system comprising:
a server for an online legal-research provider, the server coupled to one or more databases containing law-related documents;
a client access device coupled to the server via the Internet and having a display for presenting a graphical user interface including one or more user-interface elements at least partially configured or defined by the server, wherein one or more of the elements allows the user to define and submit one or more legal-research queries, with each of the queries having one or more associated search-boundary parameters, such as one or more terms, and/or database identifiers;
means associated with the server for returning search results to the client access device in response to the received query, wherein the search results include a first set of first documents and associated first user-interface elements, and a second set of second documents and associated second user-interface elements, wherein the first set of documents is within the boundaries of the received query and the second set of documents includes documents outside the boundaries of the received query; and wherein the first and second user-interface elements cause the first and second results to be displayed as separate sets of results within a search-results-display portion of the graphical user interface.

4. A method of responding to a query from a user, comprising:
searching a first database based on the query to identify a first set of one or more documents; and
automatically identifying a second set of one or more documents in a second database by inputting at least a portion of the query in a text classification engine which classifies text based on similarity to documents in the second database; and
outputting at least a portions of each of the first and the second set of documents to an access device associated with the user.
5. A method of responding to a query from a user, comprising:
searching a first database based on the query to identify a first set of one or more documents;
automatically identifying a second set of one or more documents in a second database by inputting at least a portion of the first set of documents in a text classification engine which classifies text based on similarity to documents in the second database; and
outputting at least a portions of each of the first and the second set of documents to an access device associated with the user.
6. A method of responding to a query from a user, comprising:
searching a first database based on the query; and
automatically searching a second database based on results of searching the first database.

This application claims priority to U.S. provisional application 60/533,819 filed on Dec. 31, 2003. The provisional application is incorporated herein by reference.
A portion of this patent document contains material subject to copyright protection. The copyright owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure, as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office patent files or records, but otherwise reserves all copyrights whatsoever. The following notice applies to this document: Copyright� 2003, Thomson Global Resources AG.
Various embodiments of the present invention concern information-retrieval systems, such as those that provide legal documents or other related content.
The American legal system, as well as some other legal systems around the world, relies heavily on written judicial opinions, the written pronouncements of judges, to articulate or interpret the laws governing resolution of disputes. Each judicial opinion is not only important to resolving a particular legal dispute, but also to resolving similar disputes, or cases, in the future. Because of this, judges and lawyers within our legal system are continually researching an ever-expanding body of past opinions, or case law, for the ones most relevant to resolution of disputes.
To facilitate these searches West Publishing Company of St. Paul, Minn. (doing business as Thomson West) collects judicial opinions from courts across the United States, and makes them available electronically through its Westlaw™ information-retrieval system. (Westlaw is a trademark of Thomson West.) Many of these opinions are published with bibliographic cites or hyperlinks to other opinions, that rely on or criticize various points of law in these opinions. The cites and hyperlinks enable researchers to find printed volumes containing the related opinions or readily access the related opinions electronically over a computer network. The Westlaw system empowers users to search over 100 million documents.
At least one problem the present inventors recognized with this effective and highly successful system is that there are numerous other types of documents, other than opinions, that may be of use to legal researchers, but are frequently overlooked. For example, some users do not take full advantage of the West Key Number™ System, which provides classified summaries of legal points, made in judicial opinions. (West Key Number is a trademark of Thomson West.) The summaries, known as headnotes, are classified into more than 90,000 distinct legal categories, and can be used for a variety of purposes, such as evaluating the relevance of legal opinions to particular legal issues. Others overlook secondary resources, such as American Law Reports (ALR), which includes about 4,000 in-depth scholarly articles, each teaching about a separate legal issue.
Accordingly, the present inventors have recognized a need for improvement of the information-retrieval systems for legal documents.
To address this and/or other needs, the present inventors devised systems, methods, and software that facilitate the retrieval of related non-opinion legal documents in response to queries for legal opinions. One exemplary system automatically submits a user query for legal opinions to first and second databases, with the first storing legal opinions and the second storing non-opinion documents, such as headnotes from the West Key Number System, articles from American Law Reports, and/or articles from American Jurisprudence. A first search engine in the system searches the first database for relevant legal opinions based on the query. A second search engine searches the second database twice: the first time based on the user query and the second time based on results from the first search engine. In some embodiments, the first search engine is a conventional tf-idf (term-frequency-inverse-document-frequency) search engine, and the second search engine is a composite vector-based classifier. Results from both the first and second databases are presented to the user via a graphical user interface, which displays them in separate regions, panes, or windows.
In other embodiments, the second database provides topical treatises, state practice guides, statutes, and/or law review articles to augment searches of caselaw database. Also, other embodiments augment statute searches, regulatory searches, secondary-material searches, and news searches. Some embodiments charge a separate or additional fee for accessing documents from the second database.
This description, which references and incorporates the above-identified Figures, describes one or more specific embodiments of an invention. These embodiments, offered not to limit but only to exemplify and teach the invention, are shown and described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to implement or practice the invention. Thus, where appropriate to avoid obscuring the invention, the description may omit certain information known to those of skill in the art.
Additionally, this document incorporates by reference U.S. Provisional Patent Application 60/436,191 (Atty Docket 962.021PRV), which was filed on Dec. 23, 2002; U.S. patent application Ser.

One or more embodiments of the present application may be combined or otherwise augmented by teachings in the referenced applications to yield other embodiments.
Databases 110 includes a set of primary databases 112 and a set of second databases 114. Primary databases 112, in the exemplary embodiment, include a caselaw database 1121 and a statutes databases 1122, which respectively include judicial opinions and statutes from one or more local, state, federal, and/or international jurisdictions. Secondary databases 114, which contain legal documents of secondary legal authority or more generally authorities subordinate to those offered by judicial or legislative authority in the primary database, includes an ALR (American Law Reports) database, 1141, an AMJUR database 1142, a West Key Number (KNUM) Classification database 1143, and an law review (LREV) database 1144. Other embodiments may include non-legal databases that include financial, scientific, or health-care information. Also, in some embodiments, primary and secondary connote the order of presentation of search results and not necessarily the authority or credibility of the search results.
Databases 110, which take the exemplary form of one or more electronic, magnetic, or optical data-storage devices, include or are otherwise associated with respective indices (not shown). Each of the indices includes terms and phrases in association with corresponding document addresses, identifiers, and other conventional information. Databases 110 are coupled or couplable via a wireless or wireline communications network, such as a local-, wide-, private-, or virtual-private network, to server 120.
Server 120, which is generally representative of one or more servers for serving data in the form of webpages or other markup language forms with associated applets, ActiveX controls, remote-invocation objects, or other related software and data structures to service clients of various "thicknesses." More particularly, server 120 includes a processor module 121, a memory module 122, a subscriber database 123, a primary search module 124, secondary search module 125, and a user-interface module 126.
Processor module 121 includes one or more local or distributed processors, controllers, or virtual machines. In the exemplary embodiment, processor module 121 assumes any convenient or desirable form.
Memory module 122, which takes the exemplary form of one or more electronic, magnetic, or optical data-storage devices, stores subscriber database 123, primary search module 124, secondary search module 125, and user-interface module 126.
Subscriber database 123 includes subscriber-related data for controlling, administering, and managing pay-as-you-go or subscription-based access of databases 110. In the exemplary embodiment, subscriber database 123 includes one or more preference data structures, of which data structure 1231 is representative. Data structure 1221 includes a customer or user identifier portion 1231A, which is logically associated with one or more secondary search preferences, such as preferences 1231B, 1231C, and 1231D. Preference 1231B includes a default value governing whether supplemental searching is enabled or disabled when searching select databases, such as case-law databases. Preference 1231C includes a default value governing presentation of supplemental of secondary search results, for example, the listing priority of various content types or the maximum number of such results to display. Preference 1231D includes a default value governing which among two or more secondary search algorithms or acceptance criteria are used during secondary searching. (In the absence of a temporary user override, for example, an override during a particular query or session, the default value for the supplemental search preferences govern.) Primary search module 124 includes one or more search engines and related user-interface components, for receiving and processing user queries against one or more of databases 110. In the exemplary embodiment, one or more search engines associated with search module 124 provide Boolean, tf-idf, natural-language search capabilities.
Secondary search module 125 includes one or more search engines for receiving and processing queries against one or more of databases 110. In the exemplary embodiment, secondary search module 125 provides a composite vector-based classification search using a user query and/or results from primary search module 124. In other embodiments, the second database provides topical treatises, state practice guides, statutes, and/or law review articles to augment searches of caselaw database. Also, other embodiments augment statute searches, regulatory searches, secondary-material searches, and news searches. Some embodiments charge a separate or additional fee for accessing documents from the second database.
User-interface module 126 includes machine readable and/or executable instruction sets for wholly or partly defining web-based user interfaces, such as search interface 1261 and results interface 1262, over a wireless or wireline communications network on one or more accesses devices, such as access device 130.
Access device 130 is generally representative of one or more access devices. In the exemplary embodiment, access device 130 takes the form of a personal computer, workstation, personal digital assistant, mobile telephone, or any other device capable of providing an effective user interface with a server or database. Specifically, access device 130 includes a processor module 13 lone or more processors (or processing circuits) 131, a memory 132, a display 133, a keyboard 134, and a graphical pointer or selector 135.
Processor module 131 includes one or more processors, processing circuits, or controllers. In the exemplary embodiment, processor module 131 takes any convenient or desirable form. Coupled to processor module 131 is memory 132.
Memory 132 stores code (machine-readable or executable instructions) for an operating system 136, a browser 137, and a graphical user interface (GUI)138. In the exemplary embodiment, operating system 136 takes the form of a version of the Microsoft Windows operating system, and browser 137 takes the form of a version of Microsoft Internet Explorer. Operating system 136 and browser 137 not only receive inputs from keyboard 134 and selector 135, but also support rendering of GUI 138 on display 133. Upon rendering, GUI 138 presents data in association with one or more interactive control features (or user-interface elements). (The exemplary embodiment defines one or more portions of interface 138 using applets or other programmatic objects or structures from server 120.)
More specifically, graphical user interface 138 defines or provides one or more display regions, such as a query or search region 1381 and a search-results region 1382. Query region 1381 is defined in memory and upon rendering includes one or more interactive control features (elements or widgets), such as a query input region 1381A, a query submission button 13811B, and a secondary search selection 1381C. Search-results region 1382 is also defined in memory and upon rendering includes a primary results region 1382A and a secondary results region 1382B. Region 1382A includes one or more interactive control features, such as features A1, A2, A3 for accessing or retrieving one or more corresponding primary search result documents from one or more of databases 110 via server 120. Each control feature includes a respective document identifier or label, such as DOC X, DOC Y, DOC Z identifying respective titles and/or citations for the corresponding documents. Region 1382B includes one or more interactive control features, such as features B1, B2, B3 for accessing or retrieving one or more corresponding secondary search result documents from one or more of databases 110 via server 120. Each control feature includes a respective document identifier or label, such as DOC 1, DOC 2, DOC 3 identifying respective titles and/or citations for the corresponding documents.
In the exemplary embodiment, each of these control features takes the form of a hyperlink or other browser-compatible command input, and provides access to and control of query region 1381 and search-results region 1382. User selection of the control features in region 1382 results in retrieval and display of at least a portion of the corresponding document within a region of interface 138 (not shown in this figure.) Although
Exemplary Operation
Block 210 entails presenting a search interface to a user. In the exemplary embodiment, this entails a user directing a browser in an client access device to internet-protocol (IP) address for an online information-retrieval system, such as the Westlaw system and then logging onto the system. Successful login results in a web-based search interface, such as interface 138 in
As shown in
Using interface 138 or 300, the user can define or submit a query and cause it to be output to a server, such as server 120. In other embodiments, a query may have been defined or selected by a user to automatically execute on a scheduled or event-driven basis. In these cases, the query may already reside in memory of a server for the information-retrieval system, and thus need not be communicated to the server repeatedly. Execution then advances to block 220.
Block 220 entails receipt of a query. In the exemplary embodiment, the query includes a query string and/or a set of target databases, which includes one or more of the select databases. In some embodiments, the query string includes a set of terms and/or connectors, and in other embodiment includes a natural-language string. Also, in some embodiments, the set of target databases is defined automatically or by default based on the form of the system or search interface. Also in some embodiments, the received query may be accompanied by other information, such as information defining whether to search secondary resources. In any case, execution continues at block 230.
Block 230 entails identifying a set of documents or search results based on or in response to the received query. In the exemplary embodiment, this entails the server or components under server control or command, executing the query against the targeted set of databases and identifying documents that satisfy the query criteria. Execution proceeds to block 240.
Block 240 entails identifying a set of one or more secondary documents based on the query. (In some embodiments, execution of the duplicate identification block is contingent on a default or selected user option that specifies whether to identify duplicate documents.) In the exemplary embodiment, secondary identification generally entails using a second search engine or more precisely a multi-classifier text classification engine to search a second database.
More specifically, the exemplary embodiment follows the method shown in flow chart 240, which includes process blocks 241-244. Block 241 entails searching the secondary databases based on the user query. In the exemplary embodiment, this search entails use of secondary search module, which includes composite vector based classifier. More particularly, some of the exemplary systems classify or aid manual classification of an input text by determining a set of composite scores, with each composite score corresponding to a respective document being considered for inclusion as a secondary search results and based on a "similarity or relevance score from one or more, preferably two or more, classifiers. Determining each score entails computing and applying class-specific weights to one or more of the following types of scores:
Block 242 entails searching the secondary databases based on results from the first search engine at block 230. In the exemplary embodiment, this search entails extracting text, such as noun-word pairs, from a subset of the documents of the primary search results to define a pool or set of features. The extracted text is then input into a text classifier, such as the multi-classifier engine note above, and compared to text of potentially related articles or more generally documents in the secondary databases. In the context of the text classifiers, potential documents in databases, such the ALR, AmJur, or Key Number headnote conglomerations are treated as classes. Those judged by the multi-classifier engine to be sufficiently similar to the other search results by virtue of meeting a similarity threshold are then included in the secondary search results. In some embodiments, a preset number of the most relevant documents from the primary search results—for example, the top 5 documents or the top 5% of documents—are used as a basis. Also, some embodiments may use a subset of the primary search results as a basis for a "more like this" type of search of the secondary databases. Execution continues at block 243.
Block 243 entails combining the results from the searches of the secondary databases into a secondary results set. In the exemplary embodiment, extended or secondary search results include ALRs, AmJur sections, and West Key Number System classifications codes (and/or associated headnotes) that are determined to be relevant to the query.
In the exemplary embodiment, the topical scope of the secondary databases is focused on legal materials. However, in some embodiments, any relevant domain of information can be searched, including for example, news and financial databases, professional directories, etc. In determining relevance of secondary database documents, some embodiments rely on customer-tracking or usage information in addition to the secondary search engine. This information ensures documents that are frequently used (that is, "clicked on,"), printed, and/or KeyCited after similar searches are more likely to be included within secondary results. Additionally, some embodiments use term location within a document as a factor in determining the relevance score or ranking of candidate secondary results. Execution continues at block 250.
Block 250 entails presenting results from primary and secondary databases to the user via a graphical user interface. In the exemplary embodiment, this entails displaying a listing of the secondary results in one or more separate regions, panes, or windows, adjacent to a listing of the primary results, with each listed document or more generally item, associated with a corresponding interactive control feature, such as hyperlink, that is selectable by a user to invoke retrieval and/or display of the associated document (or a portion thereof) in the same or separate window. See, for example, regions 1381 and 1382 in
Some embodiments automatically limit the number of secondary items shown in the separate pane to a predetermined number of items, such as 10. Exemplary findings include links to documents from the American Law Reports (ALR) and American Jurisprudence 2d (AMJUR) databases, and West topic and key number references. (Some embodiment also excludes secondary result documents, such as ALR or AmJur documents, that have red KeyCite status flags (indicating that the documents have been superseded)). In addition, primary results that include case law and statutes may include links to treatises and law reviews. Some embodiments include an "expand" control feature which allows users to selectively extend the number and/or size of the displayed secondary results list and thus gain access to an more extended list of secondary results.
Block 260 entails presenting one or more of the secondary search results. In the exemplary embodiment, this entails a user clicking on one or more of the listed secondary search results and thereby causing access device 130 to initiate or submit a request for the one or more items. Depending on the access rights of the user, generally determined by subscription parameters, the user account is charged a fee for accessing the secondary search results. Some embodiments present an advisory message to the user regarding any assessment of fees, providing users an option to cancel access.
For example, clicking on listed item 322 (in
Similarly, selecting or clicking on listed item 324 in
Selecting listed item 326 in
After viewing the secondary search results, a user may redisplay the primary search results (and the secondary search results.) For example, the user may use the "back" button on her browser or activate a return or 'back' link on one of interface 400, 500, or 600.
Specifically, load-balancing router 710 receives primary and secondary search requests from one or more clients, such as clients 702, 704, and 706. Router 710 sends queries to CnC services in a round-robin or other fashion, ensuring that both phases (i.e., the primary and secondary requests) of the same request are sent to the same back-end services set (or machine) and adding and subtracting machines from its services pool to reflect current availability. All requests/responses are encoded in XML prior to being forwarded to one of CnC services 720.
CnC services 720 include one or more independent CnC services, such as CnC services 722, 724, and 726. CnC service 724, which is generally representative of each CnC application service, includes a message handler 724A, an AMJUR event handler 724B, a Key Number (KN) event handler 724C, and an ALR event handler 724D. Each CnC service passes client messages to back-end services, combines the responses from back-end services 730 to generate the suggestions (or search results), and sends them back to the clients through router 710.
Back-end search service sets 730 includes classifier service sets 732, 734, and 736. Service set 734, which—in the exemplary embodiment—is generally representative of each classifier service set, includes AMJUR classifier (or search) service 744A, KNA classifier service 744B, KN-lookup service 744C, ALR-CC service 744D, ALR-HN service 744E, ALR-SEC service 744F. The name of each services reflects the relevant query area. For example, ALR-HN processes word-pair classifiers or feature sets extracted from all headnotes (HNs) cited in ALR. These back-end services "suggest" multiple information categories (for example, ALR annotations) within two processing phases. The first phase is based on directly on the user query, and the second phase is based on the retrieved cases by the primary search engine in response to the user query. The services and the CnC are available as web services and use XML-RPC (Remote Procedure Calls) to communicate with each other.
In the exemplary embodiment, a search query is sent to the secondary search module (phase 1) in parallel with or at the same time it is sent to the primary search module. In the second phase, retrieved cases (or other documents) are forwarded by the client to the appropriate CnC service once they become available. If the primary search does not retrieve any cases, the client sends an empty phase-two request because the router and the CnC service are expecting a phase-two request. The top row in the Figure represents Westlaw clients, with each client sending its phase-one (i.e., query text) and phase-two (i.e., resulting cases) requests to a router/load-balancer.
In furtherance of the art, the inventors have presented various exemplary systems, methods, and software which, among other things, facilitate the supplementation of search results with additional information. One exemplary system automatically submits a user query for legal opinions to first and second databases, with the first storing legal opinions and the second storing non-opinion documents, such as headnotes from the West Key Number System, articles from American Law Reports, and/or articles from American Jurisprudence.
The embodiments described above are intended only to illustrate and teach one or more ways of practicing or implementing the present invention, not to restrict its breadth or scope. The actual scope of the invention, which embraces all ways of practicing or implementing the teachings of the invention, is defined only by the following claims and their equivalents.

Quenneville: 'We're looking for a little more' from Kane
Jun 5, 2013, 5:38 PM EDT
With just two goals this postseason and one point in the Western Conference finals, Patrick Kane's production — or lack thereof — is becoming an issue.
On Wednesday, Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville addressed it.
"We're looking for a little more," Quenneville said, when asked about Kane's overall game thus far.
While Kane hasn't exactly fallen off a cliff — he does have 10 points in 15 playoff games — there is a fairly significant decline from his regular-season production.
He had 55 points in 47 games during the year, and just two multi-game pointless streaks.
In the playoffs, he's already had two similar streaks — Games 4/5 of the Minnesota series, and Games 6/7/1 of the Detroit-LA series.
As for how Kane can rediscover his offensive touch?
Quenneville thinks it's all about speed and puck possession.
"When he's playing his best hockey, he has the puck, he's dangerous with it, being off the rush-in zone, coming off of our end," Quenneville explained. "When he has the puck, not too many players in the league can do what he can do."

A little back checking instead of floating wouldn't hurt either
- ronthecubsfan - Jun 5, 2013 at 6:48 PM
He is the laziest back checker on the team. Just watch him a little bit – all he does is hang his head and loaf back. Want to see high quality back checking to compare? Watch Hossa just to see how it's supposed to be done. You'd think that after 4 years of playing with Hossa he would have learned something…

Might turn out like OV's team. Stars under perform and the team goes down. Unlike OV, he has a star studded roster though.

Man, my all time best dog was named Louie. Miss his stanky little ass.
- r8rbhawk - Jun 5, 2013 at 6:36 PM
It is amazing how deep the Hawks have been able to go in the playoffs when their best two forwards have been average. Remember the 2010 run? Kane had 28 pts and Toews 29.
- icelovinbrotha215 - Jun 5, 2013 at 7:08 PM
Yea, I remember haha. Valid point though.
- paperkid96 - Jun 5, 2013 at 6:36 PM
"We're looking for a little more," Quenneville said
Yeah. So was a certain Buffalo cab driver. We all know how that ended. Watch your mouth Quenneville.
- polegojim - Jun 5, 2013 at 8:05 PM
A LITTLE more… SERIOUSLY???
How about a LOT more???
Right now Kane = Backstrom… very little contribution for that 'super star' tag.
Overpaid and under-delivering badly.
- imleftcoast - Jun 5, 2013 at 9:05 PM
It's a long playoff run, are we expecting the kid not to drink and harass women for two whole months???
- slysipops - Jun 6, 2013 at 2:21 AM
or beat up old cab drivers !
- slysipops - Jun 6, 2013 at 2:19 AM
a little more backbone would help a lot! he played game 3 like he was trying to hide in a corner. he stopped several times at the blueline to let a linemate pass him and go into the corner for the puck and gave away a few pucks with his blind behind the backpasses to no one in his own d zone. has he got the guts for a tough hitting playoff series ? i think not. the coaches need to explain to him that in the playoffs ….there are no dippsey-doodle shootouts….. it's grind and guts…. time to step up to the paygrade !

Pain can last a moment, or it can last for months. The sensations we feel associated with pain can be sharp or dull, burning or stabbing; maybe it's a constant, aggravating soreness. Pain affects the body in vulnerable, often overworked places such as the joints, muscles, bones, and even the nerves.
Many events can lead to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). War is the most well-known cause, and PTSD is a leading problem among our veterans. But, there are other experiences that cause PTSD, things like rape, assault, accidents, and natural disasters. With this in mind, it is not surprising that an estimated 7.7 million Americans have been diagnosed with it.

Taiwan's China Airlines is evaluating its new generation narrowbody options and will make a decision by the middle of 2014.
In a recent interview with Flightglobal Pro, its president Sun HH said the carrier will need between 20-25 new narrowbody aircraft, and the airline is thus evaluating the Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 Max.
"Right now, it's neck and neck, both are good aircraft. We're pretty open and not leaning towards one type," says Sun. "We do not want to say that because we're using 737s now, we will stick to the Max. We don't want to limit our options."
He adds that the SkyTeam carrier could make a decision on the narrowbody at the end of the year, or before the middle of 2014.
For the airline's long-haul needs, Sun says it will evaluate the Boeing 777X and A350-1000 around 2018.
He adds that the carrier will have a fleet of 10 777-300ERs, all of which are either leased or on sale and leaseback, as they are only meant as "an interim measure", before it decides on a new generation of widebody aircraft.
China Airlines has 14 A350-900s on order, to be delivered starting 2016. Next year, it expects to take delivery of three 737-800s, one A330-300 and three 777-300ERs.
Sun adds that with the A350s and 777s, the carrier could also start services to more long-haul destinations or up the frequency on existing ones.
"Last couple of years, we've concentrated more on regional routes because we don't have the ideal type of aircraft for long-haul," he expains.
With the delivery of new aircraft, China Airlines will also progressively retire its aging and fuel-hungry A340s and 747s.

Twelve foreign low-cost carriers (LCCs) may have entered Taiwan over the years, but the country still does not have a similar operation of its own.
The nation's three listed carriers - Eva Air, China Airlines and TransAsia Airways - have all talked about starting a low-cost operation, but not one has taken the plunge yet.
Late last year, TransAsia's chairman Vincent Lin even proposed that the trio come together to form a joint venture LCC.
Although his suggestion was largely seen as bizarre and impractical, considering it would mean that the competing carriers work together in the same market, Lin did raise a valid point - that Taiwan has not benefitted from the low-cost business because of the lack of such a homegrown operator.
It almost seems as if the low-cost phenomenon has swept across Asia, but somehow left Taiwan untouched.
Nearby in Japan, three such players - Peach Aviation, Jetstar Japan and Japan AirAsia - entered the market within the space of a year. In Hong Kong, Jetstar Hong Kong, a joint venture between China Eastern Airlines and Qantas Airways, is also due to start operations by the end of 2013.
In 2011, there were seven foreign LCCs with operations to Taiwan. The number has since grown to 12, with Peach as the most recent entrant, and they are mostly concentrated at Taipei Taoyuan International Airport.
Last year, the airport handled 1 million passengers who travelled with LCCs, 10% more than in 2011. This year, the number is expected to grow by another 10% at least.
So why has no investor jumped in to set up a low-cost unit in the country?
Taiwan's relatively small domestic market, compared with countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia, combined with its reliable high speed rail network, do not make the most ideal environment for such an operation, says Paul Sheridan, Flightglobal's Ascend head of consultancy Asia.
Analysts add that Taiwan's slots allocation policy, which tends to favour larger existing carriers, also means it will likely be tough for new entrants to break in.
Even TransAsia, which has been in operation for close to 30 years, has publicly complained about difficulties in getting the slots it wants, often losing out to flag carrier China Airlines and the more established Eva Air.
"Because of this, access to more lucrative market can be challenging for new entrants," says Richard Wu, a senior lecturer at University of New South Wales' school of aviation. "If a new LCC comes in, they'll possibly face this problem. If they are a subsidiary of say China Airlines, it will be different because they may be able to shift existing capacity within their own group. This is probably why no independent LCC has set up in Taiwan."
Both China Airlines and Eva Air have said they could convert their regional subsidiaries Mandarin Airlines and Uni Air into low-cost operations, if necessary.
Recently, however, China Airlines seems to be taking a more serious look into the matter, saying it has formed a special team to evaluate the possibility of launching a low-cost arm. It adds, however, that the project has to be carefully considered as operational conditions of a full-service carrier are "completely different" from that of budget carriers, and that the project would also require assistance and support from the government.
Over the last five years, the main carriers have also put the threat of LCCs at the back of their minds, as they focused on exploiting the opening up of cross-straits flights, analysts say. This is a lucrative market where about a third of the Taiwanese carriers' revenue now comes from.
Regular cross-straits flights between Taiwan and mainland China began in 2008 creating a boom for these airlines, opening up a market that did not exist five years ago.
"The current situation is cosy for the existing players because the cross-straits market is regulated. It is a cash cow for them. They're enjoying the profit so there's no strong urge for them to change," says Wu.
To make the environment more conducive for low-cost operations, Taiwan would need to liberalise or at least expand bilateral agreements, and drop high barriers of entry such as requiring entrants to have an annual business turnover of at least NT$10 billion ($334 million), and an equity capital of more than NT$100 million. As a step forward, the airports are also considering lower charges for low-cost operations.
Wu adds that a homegrown LCC would likely appear when the Chinese market opens up more. The carrier could focus on the travel market between Taiwan and Japan, where tourists are price sensitive, and also, regional business traffic.
"The best strategy for a Taiwanese LCC to find success is to fly to China, but that's easier said than done. They should concentrate on shorter flights, flying to areas similar to each other because when you fly to quite similar markets, it makes it easier to be consistent with the product and branding," says Sheridan.
"Taiwan may not be the first place to start an LCC, but it could be the next in line."

Zygi Wilf's patience finally paid off, for himself and the Minnesota Vikings. Despite numerous setbacks in his seven-year pursuit of public financing to help build a new stadium, the Vikings owner never once threatened to move or sell the team in hopes of gaining negotiating leverage. Many thought Wilf would have to make a threat to get things done. But the New Jersey businessman never went down that road, preferring instead to work with lawmakers to ensure that the Vikings remain in Minnesota. The Minnesota Senate approved a bill for a $975 million stadium for the Vikings on Thursday. Wilf agreed to increase the Vikings' portion of the project by $50 million to close the deal. Wilf says he was always focused on keeping the Vikings in Minnesota.

I'm Down My Life With Black People (Hardcover)
|Author: Mishna Wolff
Learn more about I'm Down:
|Traces the authors experiences of growing up with a white father who believed himself to be African-American, describing her struggles with his embodiment of black stereotypes and the ways in which his efforts to indoctrinate his daughter into black culture caused her to be rejected by her black and white peers. *Author: Wolff, Mishna *Publication Date: 2009/05/26 *Number of Pages: 273 *Binding Type: Hardcover *Language: English *Depth: 1.00 *Width: 6.00 *Height: 8.50
From the Publisher:
Mishna Wolff grew up in a poor black neighborhood with her single father, a white man who truly believed he was black. "He strutted around with a short perm, a Cosby-esqe sweater, gold chains and a Kangol—telling jokes like Redd Fox, and giving advice like Jesse Jackson. You couldn't tell my father he was white. Believe me, I tried," writes Wolff. And so from early childhood on, her father began his crusade to make his white daughter Down.
Unfortunately, Mishna didn't quite fit in with the neighborhood kids: she couldn't dance, she couldn't sing, she couldn't double dutch and she was the worst player on her all-black basketball team. She was shy, uncool and painfully white. And yet when she was suddenly sent to a rich white school, she found she was too "black" to fit in with her white classmates.
I'm Down is a hip, hysterical and at the same time beautiful memoir that will have you howling with laughter, recommending it to friends and questioning what it means to be black and white in America.
White comedian Mishna Wolff relates her memorable childhood as the daughter of a man who went to great lengths to pretend he was black. In an effort to identify with African-American culture, Mishna's father permed his hair, sported thick gold chains, and dated a steady stream of black women, but his daughter had a more difficult time adapting as a minority in her predominantly black school and neighborhood, where her pathetic attempts at dancing and Double-Dutch single her out for ridicule. Just when Mishna begins to gain some recess renown as a master of "capping" (cracking insults) on her schoolmates, her Buddhist mother enrolls her in a school for gifted children, where she faces a new form of discrimination because of the black behavioral traits she worked so hard to develop. Wolff's memoir is filled with rollicking humor and poignant insight into the tenuous identities we construct from class and race.

Work hard.Achieve anything.Aim higher.Dream bigger.Fear less.Love more.Look after yourself.Be grateful.Stay blessed.It's now or never.
Well I've officially reached my favourite part of the online dating world. Who doesn't love trying to define who they are and what they're looking for in a 4000 character blurb? So much fun! Haha. I'll try my best to keep this short and sweet! Sooo...what brings me to the wonderful world of match.com? Well, over the years, it's dawned upon me that.... 1) I've had my head stuck in the books for far too long. Time to have some fun...maybe even experience some romance? 2) There's only so many hours I can hang out at the gym (even though it's my all-time favourite place to be) 3) Prince charming is not just going to come knocking on my door 4) All the good guys are either taken or hiding out in some cave. Maybe you will prove me wrong... Now I'm sure you're wondering what I'm all about. If not, it's time for you to move on to another profile! Lol To sum it up, I'm an energetic, fun-loving, mature, ambitious, hardworking and highly motivated person. My family, friends and faith are extremely important to me and I'm looking to find someone with similar values. Oh and did I mention my passion for health and fitness? So yup, that means eating healthy, going to the gym and lifting weights 5-6 times per week (no, I'm not a cardio bunny!) and cooking up/inventing healthy (interesting?) concoctions in the kitchen! I love to laugh and live life to its fullest, so I'm always seeking new adventures from travel to volunteer work. Despite my feminine appearance/qualities, I'm not afraid to break a nail. Basically, I'm up for anything! Well actually, I'm not really into the whole bar/club scene. Don't worry, I'm still fun. Now what do I look for in a guy? Ohhh boy, where to begin... I'm looking for a guy who has his life together, knows what he wants and won't settle for less, is ambitious, has a great sense of humour, a huge heart, and similar morals and values. Also, someone who lives a healthy active lifestyle is a must! And that goes beyond eating potatoes in the form of chips, or getting up off the couch to grab a beer (HINT: I tend to be attracted to the sportier type). Finally, I've come to realize that chemistry and attraction are huge - so if you're cute, romantic and charming, that's an added bonus! ;) If you fit that description, feel free to message me. Looking forward to getting to know you!

Brothel Owner Wins County Commissioner Election
By editor
Originally published on Thu November 8, 2012 8:46 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep, with congratulations to Lance Gilman. He's a newly elected member of the county commission in Storey County, Nevada. Mr. Gilman is a business owner, who won 62 percent of the vote. But as he takes office, Gilman is unlikely to be one of those people who disparages politics by, say, comparing it to a brothel, because Gilman runs a legal brothel, one of the most famous in the country: Nevada's Mustang Ranch. You're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

" (Blank) was better than it had any business being" is the new ostensibly.
Oh yeah, that is Zim doing his best Invader Zim... Also, the weapon names in Blood on the Sand amuse me greatly. Cole 19-11? Desert Hawk? Dragon SUV? Brilliant.
Saints Row 4 is a mess in its current iteration. I wonder how the move to Koch/Deep Silver will affect it in the end.
" (Blank) was better than it had any business being" is the new ostensibly.
Thank you for saying what needed to be said.
I will be one to say that Patrick is out of his goddamn mind for playing Metro 2033 in Russian. The voice actors in English voice actor's accents totally sell the atmosphere and the random flavor dialogue is too good to miss. That and honestly the gun combat with other soldiers was very measured and a lot of fun. It's when the monster show up and start attacking up close that the combat just becomes frustrating.
My knowledge of the Nyan Cat thing was that it was put up by GameSpot people before GB moved in there and now they have an excuse to take it down.
@Matoyak: Had the same reaction to the stuff. Couldn't finish the bottle I bought.
Poor Matt Hazard. Will Arnett and NPH in a video game about a video game character's comeback? Why wasn't that great?
While I'm glad Metro 2033 got shown, @patrickklepek showed off a really boring part. He should have shown off the Dead City levels. It shows off the beautiful world, the immersion of the Gas Mask view, and the suspense crawling around in dark buildings looking for ammo and filters while fighting off mutants.
BTW, the shooting in it is fine if you hit the AIM BUTTON, which Patrick didn't do at all. That kinda bugged me.
@AsherV20: Yup, had a quarter bottle or so, and just...no. There was nothing redeemable about it. Figured it might be the brand I bought or something, because I've never heard anyone say they disliked it (and it's often brought up as being really good on Giant Bomb and elsewhere), but everyone I had try it couldn't stomach it. Nor was it expired.
I love vapin'. Vitamins.
I wish I had a gif of 50's face when he found out Coca-Cola was buying Vitamin Water.
@ultrapeanut said:
I love vapin'. Vitamins.
Don't. I. Know. It.
Man, post-apocalyptic Russia ain't all that different from current Russia.
Down with Nyan Cat!!!!
Aren't there weird story connections to Saints Row in Red Faction and vice versa?
@HedinnWeis: Yeah, Ultor!
@peritus: They need to go out of their way to connect the games. Saints 2149: The Red Faction or something.
Man, I really disagree with the opinions on this TNT. Destroy All Humans was never good. They talked about it being a decent series, and cursed literally ever aspect of the game while they played it.
Also, I swear Patrick will just like and defend any game he has played, basically. I think he gives Deadly Creatures and De Blob a little more credit than they really deserve, but OH MY GOD, Advent Rising was absolutely horrible. You can't even defend its story, because the game told it incredibly poorly and left a bunch of universe details lazily unexplained. And your character just gets more Force powers at random intervals for no reason, and the powers are all OP as fuck, and you had to level up the weapons for no reason, and the couple boss fights were really tedious, and none of the twists made any sense, and that is just a bad game.

It's never too late.
Quiet, yet loud. Funny, but serious. Shy and at the same time outgoing. I am a combination of opposites, and I wouldn't have any other way. I consider myself to be a pretty successful individual. I believe in working hard to get what I want because in the end, it makes the outcome even better. I received my bachelor's degree, I am working my dream job as a school teacher. I'm currently starting my first semester as a grad student. I'm also a Zumba instructor. Family is so important to me. I consider my family members to be my best friends, and have a closesness with them that not many have with their family. For that I fortunate. What I am looking for is someone who I can laugh with. I love to laugh and have a good time. I need someone who is as goal-oriented as I am, so that we can help push each other if ever we need encouragement. It is important that I find someone family-oriented as well. Most importantly, I just want someone who I can be myself with--quiet, loud, shy, outgoing, funny, and serious.

I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats
Middle of the Road
Boston is my favorite city right now. It's the one city I've been to multiple times (my best friend works there). I do not get to travel much, but I definitely plan to do so in the future.
I love all kinds of music really. I guess I tend to listen to RB, hip-hop, rap more, but I have a pop side to me too. If I like the lyrics, I'll listen! I watch dramas, romantic comedies- I like to laugh and love a good love story!
I like to work out. I also love to dance. I teach Zumba. I enjoy reading (when I actually have time). Watching movies is always alright with me, as well as listening to music. I am teaching myself how to play guitar right now; it's really fun!
I'm currently reading Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking. The last book I read was The Great Gatsby.

Pole vaulting in Clovis
5:30 p.m. Friday / Farmers Market, Old Town Clovis / oldtownclovis.org / Free
Now here's a way to mix up your weekly procurement of fresh strawberries, designer hummus and corn on the cob at the Clovis Farmers Market: You can watch world-class athletes from across the country vie for the top spot at the North American Pole Vault Championships. Katy Negeotte (the defending event winner and a former NCAA Division II champion) and Melissa Gergel (a former NCAA D-I champ) are the top vaulters on the women's side, with Mike Arnold (the defending event champ) and Tyler Wallace the marquee attractions on the men's side.
Talk to the artist
2-4 p.m. Sunday / Arte Américas, 1630 Van Ness Ave. / arteamericas.org, (559) 266-2623 / Free
Jeannette L. Herrera wants to know what you think about her work. Really. (She hates when people say something noncommittal, such as "Oh, it's interesting.") She'll be on hand for an artist's talk and question-and-answer session about her retrospective show at Arte Américas. You might find a lot to talk about: Her paintings in oil and acrylic are rowdy, funny, violent, tender, explosive and passionate. Fantastical creatures, Peruvian imagery, religious icons, sexual gyrations, unabashed nudity, street culture and personal trauma all swirl together into a colorful stew.
Double dose of 'Sharknado'
7 p.m. Wednesday / Pinot Wine Bar and Bistro, 805 E. Olive Ave. / Free / Fresno Zombie Society on Facebook
"Sharknado," which combined plot points from "Twister" and "Jaws," set a new standard for "so-bad-it's good." The network hopes to double down on the movie's popularity with the sequel, "Sharknado 2: The Second One," which premieres 9 p.m. Wednesday.
Fresno Zombie Society holds a double-feature viewing party for anyone who thinks they can stomach three hours of Tara Reid.
National dance day with IncrediBear
4-8 p.m. Saturday / John's Incredible Pizza, 7095 N. Cedar Ave. / Admission price / (559) 323-1111, johnspizza.com/danceday
National Dance Day is an annual celebration of moving your body to the beat — even if it's just the one in your head. The grass-roots campaign encourages dance-inspired events of all sorts and even has an official National Dance Day dance. John's Incredible Pizza will celebrate with hourly dance sessions led by its mascot, IncrediBear.
Last Kingsburg hurrah
8 p.m. July 31 / Sierra Street and 18th Avenue, Kingsburg / Search "Kingsburg Summer Band" on Facebook / Free
The Kingsburg Summer Band has been heating up Memorial Park with a rousing musical lineup every Thursday night this season. The band plays its final concert by welcoming vocalist Hanna York.
Shaver Lake Car Show
10 a.m. Saturday / Shaver Lake on Tollhouse Road / Free / (559) 640-7527, shaverlakecarshow.com
More than 150 classic, souped-up cars and trucks will make their way to Shaver Lake this weekend for the 14th annual Shaver Lake Car Show. Prizes will be awarded in more than two dozen categories, including best muscle car, best sound system, and youngest and oldest entrants.
Following the car show, there is a free concert from local country duo Whisky Row.
'Menopause' gets even hotter
2 p.m. Sunday / Tower Theatre, 815 E. Olive Ave. / towertheatrefresno.com, (559) 485-9050 / $53.50-$68.50
Last time the touring "Menopause The Musical" came to Fresno, it was in January 2013. Now it returns for a true July hot flash. In the show, built around parody lyrics of popular classic songs ("My Guy" becomes "My Thighs," for example), four women meet by chance at a department store lingerie sale. They make fun of their woeful hot flashes, forgetfulness, mood swings, wrinkles, night sweats and chocolate binges. A sisterhood is created between these diverse women as they realize that menopause is no longer "The Silent Passage."
Final shows for Bleeding Through
7 p.m. Friday / Strummer's, 833 E. Fern Ave. / $16 / All ages / (559) 485-5356, numbskullshows.com
Fans of the Orange County band Bleeding Through will want to catch
Friday night's show at Strummer's. It's one of their last.
The band, which gained popularity among the Ozzfest and Vans Warped Tour set with its hybrid metal/hardcore sound, is in the midst of its final West Coast tour. It all ends Aug. 3.
Bleeding Through has been on the road with Slayer, AFI and Marilyn Manson and has also been responsible for taking younger bands, like Every Time I Die and Between the Buried and Me, under its wing and out on tour.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band
8 p.m. Friday / Chukchansi Gold Resort and Casino, 711 Lucky Lane, Coarsegold / $35-$45 / (866) 794-6946, chukchansigold.com,
At 37 years old, Kenny Wayne Shepherd is two decades into a successful career as a blues rock musician. The Louisiana native first played on stage at 13 years old. By 16, he'd signed his first record deal and quickly gained national attention as the new face of contemporary blues.
Shepherd has since had five Grammy nominations, two Billboard Music Awards and won the Blues Foundation's Keeping The Blues Alive award. He's had six No. 1 blues albums and a string of mainstream rock singles.
His latest album, "Going Home," features fellow guitar icons Joe Walsh, Warren Haynes and Robert Randolph.
After the rain
7:30 p.m. Saturday / The Voice Shop, 1296 N. Wishon Ave. / $5 / (559) 222-7464, www.glendelpit.com
Glen Delpit has always looked at music as a labor of love. Though he and his band, The Subterraneans, have opened up for guys like Bo Diddley, Fabulous Thunderbirds and Booker T, Delpit has never pursued greater success.
The blues-influenced folk singer has never had a real record deal, instead self-releasing his albums when he has enough material (and money).
With his latest, "After the Rain," he took a hint from the digital and turned to the crowd-funding website Kickstarter. The album — his fifth solo album and ninth overall — was paid for with money raised through the campaign.
Delpit celebrates the release of the album with a show Saturday.

The top 60 outfielders for 2013 fantasy baseball become a sloppy mess towards the end. I almost went with guys like Leonys Martin over, say, Angel Pagan, but that's upside for upside's sake over a known entity. Guys near the top of the 80 outfielder post, which will be up next, like Adam Eaton and Leonys Martin are great, but I can't rank them above guys who have shown 10-15 homer and 20-30 steal skills in the majors, even though I could see owning Eaton or Martin before Pagan. I'll just wait until Pagan is drafted by someone else and then lay my big, beautiful, blue eyes on upside outfielders. With these outfielders, we're officially in a crop of players (or maybe that's crap) that won't even be drafted in some shallower leagues. If you have only 3 outfielders in your 10-team league, you might never see Michael Brantley drafted. In deeper leagues, where these guys will be drafted, you need to match up needs with wants. I want Ben Revere if I have heavy RBI/power guys on my t...

Case conferences are primarily educational meetings in which physicians review the care of difficult cases. The case may be presented because it was unusual or complex, required difficult clinical management choices, or had an adverse outcome. The discussion may cover a great many topics such as the value of new technologies, approaches to care that might have been more conservative, clinical findings that were overlooked, or an ethical dilemma presented by the case.
The Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) conference is a department-based conference that occurs after an adverse event such as a death or complication, typically after a surgical procedure. The course of illness and diagnostic, autopsy, and pathology findings are presented and discussed by the attending physician and pathologist.
Strengths. Case conferences are highly valued by clinicians as an effective method of learning. They are conducted in a nonjudgmental atmosphere and are considered clinically pertinent. They accord with medical training in that they focus on individual cases.
Limitations. Case conferences are believed to be very effective in monitoring and assuring high quality of care in hospitals. They do not, however, result from or lead to systematic information about practice patterns and outcomes that might advance the institutions' understanding of patterns of care in unanticipated ways.
Reviewing complaints can be a method of detecting problems in care. Responding to complaints may have two valuable functions. It indicates to patients that the organization takes problems seriously, and it may prompt intraorganizational reforms that would never be suggested by formal quality assurance mechanisms. Complaint reporting programs are also used by external regulators, such as state and local departments of health and insurance commissioners. At least one PRO visited in this study believed that patient (or other) complaints were useful in identifying problem practitioners and that PRO review of patient complaints helped foster better relations with the patient community.
Strengths. Review of complaints, like patient assessments, includes patients in the quality review process and permits the identification of unexpected problems. A systematic classification and review of complaints has the potential to identify underservice, including lack of access to services. It can also identify interpersonal issues; like malpractice allegations, com-
