Article: Identifying Carbon stars from the LAMOST pilot survey with the efficient manifold ranking algorithm[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Carbon stars are excellent kinematic tracers of galaxies and can serve as a viable standard candle, so it is worthwhile to automatically search for them in a large amount of spectra. In this paper, we apply the efficient manifold ranking algorithm to search for carbon stars from the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) pilot survey, whose performance and robustness are verified comprehensively with four test experiments. Using this algorithm, we find a total of 183 carbon stars, and 158 of them are new findings. According to different spectral features, our carbon stars are classified as 58 C-H stars, 11 C-H star candidates, 56 C-R stars, ten C-R star candidates, 30 C-N stars, three C-N star candidates, and four C-J stars. There are also ten objects which have no spectral type because of low spectral quality, and a composite spectrum consisting of a white dwarf and a carbon star. Applying the support vector machine algorithm, we obtain the linear optimum classification plane in the J - H versus H - Ks color diagram which can be used to distinguish C-H from C-N stars with their J - H and H - Ks colors. In addition, we identify 18 dwarf carbon stars with their relatively high proper motions, and find three carbon stars with FUV detections likely have optical invisible companions by cross matching with data from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer. In the end, we detect four variable carbon stars with the Northern Sky Variability Survey, the Catalina Sky Survey and the LINEAR variability databases. According to their periods and amplitudes derived by fitting light curves with a sinusoidal function, three of them are likely semiregular variable stars and one is likely a Mira variable star. © 2015 National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences and IOP Publishing Ltd.

ABSTRACT: At present, most sky-subtraction methods focus on the full spectrum, not the particular location, especially for the backgroud sky around [OIII] line which is very important to low redshift quasars. A new method to precisely subtract sky lines in local region is proposed in the present paper, which sloves the problem that the width of Hβ-[OIII] line is effected by the backgroud sky subtraction. The exprimental results show that, for different redshift quasars, the spectral quality has been significantly improved using our method relative to the original batch program by LAMOST. It provides a complementary solution for the small part of LAMOST spectra which are not well handled by LAMOST 2D pipeline. Meanwhile, This method has been used in searching for candidates of double-peaked Active Galactic Nuclei.

ABSTRACT: LAMOST has released more than two million spectra, which provide the opportunity to search for double-peaked narrow emission line (NEL) galaxies and AGNs. The double-peaked narrow-line profiles can be well modeled by two velocity components, respectively blueshifted and redshifted with respect to the systemic recession velocity. This paper presents 20 double-peaked NEL galaxies and AGNs found from LAMOST DR1 using a search method based on multi-gaussian fit of the narrow emission lines. Among them, 10 have already been published by other authors, either listed as genuine double-peaked NEL objects or as asymmetric NEL objects, the remaining 10 being first discoveries. We discuss some possible origins for double-peaked narrow-line features, as interaction between jet and narrow line regions, interaction with companion galaxies and black hole binaries. Spatially resolved optical imaging and/or follow-up observations in other spectral bands are needed to further discuss the physical mechanisms at work.

ABSTRACT: The authors present a new method called two class PCA for decomposing the mixed spectra, namely, for subtracting the host galaxy contamination from each SN spectrum. The authors improved the quality of reconstructed galaxy spectrum and computational efficiency, and these improvements were realized because we used both the PCA eigen spectra of galaxy templates library and SN templates library to model the mixed spectrum. The method includes mainly three steps described as follows. The first step is calculating two class PCA eigen spectra of galaxy templates and SN templates respectively. The second step is determining all reconstructed coefficients by the SVD matrix decomposition or orthogonal transformation. And the third step is computing a reconstructed galaxy spectrum and subtracting it from each mixed spectrum. Experiments show that this method can obtain an accurate decomposition of a mixed synthetic spectrum, and is a method with low time-consumption to get the reliable SN spectrum without galaxy contamination and can be used for spectral analysis of large amount of spectra. The time consumption using our method is much lower than that using chi2-template fitting for a spectrum.
Article: [Reducing the searching range of supernova candidates automatically in a flood of spectra of galaxies].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Supernova (SN) is one of the most intense astronomical phenomena among the known stellar activities, but compared with several billion astronomical objects which people have probed, the number of supernova the authors have observed is very small. Therefore, the authors need to find faster and higher-efficiency approaches to searching supernova. In the present paper, we present a novel automated method, which can be successfully used to reduce the range of searching for 1a supernova candidates in a huge number of galaxy spectra. The theoretical basis of the method is clustering and outlier picking, by introducing and measuring local outlier factors of data samples, description of statistic characters of SN emerges in low dimension space. Firstly, eigenvectors of Peter's 1a supernova templates are acquired through PCA projection, and the description of la supernova's statistic characters is calculated. Secondly, in all data set, the local outlier factor (LOF) of each galaxy is calculated including those SN and their host galaxy spectra, and all LOFs are arranged in descending order. Finally, spectra with the largest first one percent of all LOFs should be the reduced 1a SN candidates. Experiments show that this method is a robust and correct range reducing method, which can get rid of the galaxy spectra without supernova component automatically in a flood of galaxy spectra. It is a highly efficient approach to getting the reliable candidates in a spectroscopy survey for follow-up photometric observation.

ABSTRACT: The three fundamental parameters of stellar atmosphere, i.e. the effective temperature, the surface gravity, and the metallic, determine the continuum and spectral lines in the stellar spectrum. With the development of the modern telescopes such as SDSS, LAMOST projects, the great voluminous spectra demand to explore automatic celestial spectral analysis methods. It is most significant for Galaxy research to develop automatic methods determining the fundamental parameters from stellar spectra data. Two non-linear regression algorithms, kernel least squared regression (KLSR) and kernel PCA regression (KPCR), are proposed for estimating the three parameters in the present paper. The linear regression models, LSR and PCR, are extended to non-linear regression by using a kernel function for the stellar parameter estimation from spectra. Extensive experiments on low resolution spectra data show: (1) KLSR and KPCR methods realize the regression from spectrum to the effective temperature and gravity. KLSR is sensitive to the noise while KPCR is robust than the former. (2) For the effective temperature estimation, the two algorithms perform similarly; and for the gravity and metallic estimation, the KPCR is superior to the KLSR and the NPR (Non-parameter regression); (3) KLSR and KPCR methods are simple and efficient for the stellar spectral parameter estimation.
Article: [The application of adaptive boosting method in automated spectral classification of active galactic nuclei].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Given a set of low-redshift spectra of active galactic nuclei, the wave bands of spectra in the rest frame were intercepted according to the different features of emission lines of broad-line AGNs and narrow-line AGNs, and an adaptive boosting (Adaboost) method was developed to carry out the classification experiments of feature fusion. As a result, the wave band of Halpha and [N II] was confirmed to be the main discriminative feature between broad-line AGNs and narrow-line AGNs. Then based on the wave band of Halpha and [N II], the Adaboost method was used for the spectral classification. In this method, the "weak classifiers" were increased constantly during training until a scheduled error rate or a maximum cycle times was met, then the classification judgment of the consequent collective classifier was determined by the votes of respective judgments of these "weak classifiers". The Adaboost method needs not to adjust parameters in advance and the results of "weak classifiers" are only required to be better than random guessing, so its algorithm is very simple. As proved by the experiments, the adaboost method achieves good performance in the classification just based on the wave band of Halpha and [N II] so that it could be applied effectively to the automatic classification of large amount of AGN spectra from the large-scale spetral surveys.
Article: Automated Spectral Classification of Broad-line and Narrow-line Active Galactic Nuclei Based on the K-nearest Neighbor Method[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: By means of a batch of low-redshift spectral data of AGNs taken from the SDSS, an automated K-nearest neighbor method is developed to classify AGNs into two types: broad-line and narrow-line AGNs. According to the different characteristics of emission lines of broad-line and narrow-line AGNs, the spectral wavebands containing the Hβ, [OIII], Hα and [NII] emission lines are used separately or in combination in the classification. experiment. The results show that the best results are obtained when only the wavebands of H and [NII] are used, and that for a training set of size 1000 and a testing set of 3313, we can achieve a speed of 32.89 single classifications per second. It is demonstrated that, where the typical spectral features are sufficiently exploited, the automated classification method is feasible for the spectra of AGNs in largescale spectral surveys and provides a fast and straightforward alternative to classification schemes based on using the FWHM values of emission lines or the line strength ratio diagnostic diagrams.

ABSTRACT: AbstractCentral catadioptric cameras are widely used in virtual reality and robot navigation, and the camera calibration is a prerequisite for these applications. In this paper, we propose an easy calibration method for central catadioptric cameras with a 2D calibration pattern. Firstly, the bounding ellipse of the catadioptric image and field of view (FOV) are used to obtain the initial estimation of the intrinsic parameters. Then, the explicit relationship between the central catadioptric and the pinhole model is used to initialize the extrinsic parameters. Finally, the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters are refined by nonlinear optimization. The proposed method does not need any fitting of partial visible conic, and the projected images of 2D calibration pattern can easily cover the whole image, so our method is easy and robust. Experiments with simulated data as well as real images show the satisfactory performance of our proposed calibration method.

ABSTRACT: Celestial spectra should be preprocessed before automated classification to eliminate the disturbance of noise, observa-tion environment, and flux aberrance. In the present work, the authors studied the spectrum flux standardization problem. By analyzing the disturbing factors and their characteristics, the authors put forward a theoretical model for spectra flux, and corre-spondingly give several flux standardizing methods. The rationality/correctness of the model, and the satisfactory performance of the proposed methods have been obtained by the experiments over normal galaxies (NGs) and quasi-stellar object (Qso). Furthermore, the authors theoretically analyze, compare and evaluate them. In particular, this work indicated that the conventional method is worse than the proposed one. And the investigation is also particularly significant for other automatic spectrum processing study, e. g. redshift determination, effective temperature, metallic estimation, etc.

ABSTRACT: A kernel based covering algorithm, called the kernel covering algorithm (KCA), is proposed for the classification of celestial spectra. This algorithm is a combination of kernel trick with the covering algorithm, and is used to extract the support vectors in feature space. The experiments show that the classification result based on KCA is a little less than that based on SVM. However, KCA only involves the distance computation without the need to solve the quadratic programming problem. Also, KCA is insensitive to the width of gauss window. Although KCA has a comparable classification performance with the covering algorithm, it changes the distance between samples in feature space by the nonlinear mapping such that the distribution of samples is more adaptable to classify. Therefore, the number of KCA's resulting support vectors is significantly smaller than that of the covering algorithm.

ABSTRACT: A kernel based generalized discriminant analysis (GDA) technique is proposed for the classification of stars, galaxies, and quasars. GDA combines the LDA algorithm with kernel trick, and samples are projected by nonlinear mapping onto the feature space F with high dimensions, and then LDA is conducted in F. Also, it could be inferred that GDA which combines the extension of Fisher's criterion with kernel trick is complementary to kernel Fisher discriminant framework. LDA, GDA, PCA and KPCA were experimentally compared with these three different kinds of spectra. Among these four techniques, GDA obtains the best result, followed by LDA, and PCA is the worst. Although KPCA is also a kernel based technique, its performance is not satisfactory if the selected number of the principal components is small, and in some cases, it appears even worse than LDA, a non-kernel based technique.
Article: [A method for obtaining redshifts of quasars based on wavelet multi-scaling feature matching].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The LAMOST project, the world's largest sky survey project being implemented in China, is expected to obtain 10(5) quasar spectra. The main objective of the present article is to explore methods that can be used to estimate the redshifts of quasar spectra from LAMOST. Firstly, the features of the broad emission lines are extracted from the quasar spectra to overcome the disadvantage of low signal-to-noise ratio. Then the redshifts of quasar spectra can be estimated by using the multi-scaling feature matching. The experiment with the 15, 715 quasars from the SDSS DR2 shows that the correct rate of redshift estimated by the method is 95.13% within an error range of 0. 02. This method was designed to obtain the redshifts of quasar spectra with relative flux and a low signal-to-noise ratio, which is applicable to the LAMOST data and helps to study quasars and the large-scale structure of the universe etc.

ABSTRACT: The physical parameters of stellar atmosphere, e.g. the effective temperature, surface gravity and chemical abundance, are the main factors for the differences in stellar spectra, and the automatic measurement of these parameters is an important content in the automatic processing of the immense amount of spectral data provided by LAMOST and other patrol telescopes. Aiming at the estimation of the physical parameters for every star in large samples of stellar spectral data, a variable window-width algorithm is proposed in this article. It consists of the following three steps: (1) A PCA (principal component analysis) treatment of historical stellar spectral data is carried out to obtain a low-dimensional characteristic data of the spectra. (2) Establish the correlation between the characteristic data and the physical parameters using a non-parametric estimator with variable window-width. (3) By means of this estimator, the three physical parameters of the star are directly calculated. As shown by results of experiments, in comparison with the fixed window-width estimator and other algorithms reported in literature, our algorithm is more accurate and robust.
Article: [A method for auto-extraction of spectral lines based on convolution type of wavelet packet transformation].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The important astrophysical information is hidden in spectral lines of astronomical spectra. The presen paper presents a method for auto-extraction of spectral lines based on convolution type of wavelet packet. This method consists of four main steps: First, the observed spectra are transformed by convolution type of wavelet packet with 4th scale. Then, the noise with coefficients of the 4th scale is eliminated by the local correlation algorithm and threshold in the wavelet packet domain. After that, middle and high frequency coefficients are selected to reconstruct the feature of the spectral lines. Finally, with the reconstructed feature of the spectral lines, spectral lines in observed spectra are searched. The results of our experiments, which include the spectral lines of stars, normal galaxies and active galaxies, show that the method can robustly and accurately extract the spectral lines. The method was applied to extract the SDSS spectral lines and compute the redshifts with those lines. By comparing the redshifts with those given by SDSS, the extraction has proven successful and practical.
Article: [Automated recognition of quasars based on adaptive radial basis function neural networks].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recognizing and certifying quasars through the research on spectra is an important method in the field of astronomy. This paper presents a novel adaptive method for the automated recognition of quasars based on the radial basis function neural networks (RBFN). The proposed method is composed of the following three parts: (1) The feature space is reduced by the PCA (the principal component analysis) on the normalized input spectra; (2) An adaptive RBFN is constructed and trained in this reduced space. At first, the K-means clustering is used for the initialization, then based on the sum of squares errors and a gradient descent optimization technique, the number of neurons in the hidden layer is adaptively increased to improve the recognition performance; (3) The quasar spectra recognition is effectively carried out by the above trained RBFN. The author's proposed adaptive RBFN is shown to be able to not only overcome the difficulty of selecting the number of neurons in hidden layer of the traditional RBFN algorithm, but also increase the stability and accuracy of recognition of quasars. Besides, the proposed method is particularly useful for automatic voluminous spectra processing produced from a large-scale sky survey project, such as our LAMOST, due to its efficiency.

ABSTRACT: It is well known that without any priori knowledge on the scene, camera motion and camera intrinsic parameters, the only constraint between a pair of images is the so-called epipolar constraint, or equivalently its fundamental matrix. For each fundamental matrix, at most two independent constraints on the cameras' intrinsic parameters are available via the Kruppa equations. Given N images, N(N−1)/2 fundamental matrices appear, and N(N−1) Kruppa constraints are available. However, to our knowledge, a formal proof of how many independent Kruppa constraints exist out of these N(N−1) ones is unavailable in the literature. In this paper, we prove that given N images captured by a pinhole camera with varying parameters and under general motion, the number of independent Kruppa constraints is (5N−9) (N > 2), and it is less than that of independent constraints from the absolute quadric by only one. This one-constraint-less property of the Kruppa equations is their inherent deficiency and is independent of camera motion. This deficiency is due to their failure of automatic enforcement of the rank-three-ness on the absolute quadric.
Article: [A novel method for the determination of redshifts of normal galaxies by non-linear dimensionality reduction].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: It is difficult to determine the redshifts of normal galaxies (NG) from their spectra because of their common weak absorption property. In the present work, a novel method is proposed to effectively deal with this issue. The proposed method is composed of the following three parts: At first, the wavelet transform coefficients at the fourth scaling are experimentally found to be appropriate and used as our features to represent the absorption information from NG absorption lines, break points, and absorption bands. Then, the features are mapped by a non-linear method, LLE (locally linear embedding), onto an one-dimensional manifold in the 3D space; Finally, the NG redshifts are obtained by the nearest neighborhood technique from the redshift distribution on the manifold. Besides, the proposed method is compared with widely used PCA method in the literature with SDSS database, and is shown to be more accurate for the redshifts determination.

ABSTRACT: The effective temperature of a star is one of the most important parameters, which determine the continuum and spectral lines in the stellar spectrum. A non-parameter estimation algorithm is proposed to estimate the stellar effective temperature in the present paper. Firstly, the spectrum data is processed by principal component analysis(PCA), then, an estimating model based on a Gaussian kernel function is set up using the PCA data and their temperatures. Experiments were carried out to verify the efficiency, and numerical robustness of the algorithm is also tested.

Can you really shape up in just minutes a day? A quick workout routine - or simple lifestyle changes -- may fit your goals.
With work, family, and social obligations competing for our time, it seems we're all keeping a frantic pace these days. It's hard to find time for a workout routine - and easy to see the allure of quick workouts that promise fitness in just a few minutes a day.
But can these popular programs really do the trick, or are they just another waste of precious time?
Well, say some fitness experts, it all depends on what you're after. Odds are, you won't become an elite athlete or greatly improve the health of your heart if you exercise only in quick workouts. But you might end up a little stronger and a little healthier - and maybe even look a bit better in your bathing suit.
According to online fitness trainer Jorge Cruise, author of the best-selling book 8 Minutes in the Morning: A Simple Way to Burn Fat, short bouts of weight training can help you build muscle mass and boost your metabolism. And that, he says, can help you lose weight.
The quick workout component of Cruise's program consists of doing four sets each of two strength-training exercises (things like push-ups and bicep curls), six days a week. After a quick warm-up, you do one set of 12 repetitions of the first of the day's exercises, then immediately follow with 12 reps of the second exercise. Repeat the cycle three more times and you're done for the day.
The book specifies two different exercises for each day, working chest and back one day; shoulders and abdominals the next; then triceps and biceps; hamstrings and quadriceps; calves and butt; and inner and outer thighs.
"The program is very specific," Cruise tells WebMD. "It has been designed to provide short workouts -- preferably done in the morning -- that will give your metabolism a boost throughout the day."
The eight minutes a day of strength training should help you lose an average of two pounds a week, says Cruise, who also recommends an eating plan emphasizing portion control and "healthy" fats. But Cruise is quick to emphasize that his program is not designed for overall fitness. "This is exclusively for weight loss," he says. "If you want to work on anything else, this is not for you."
Within the fitness industry, Cruise is one of several proponents of short sessions of strength -training exercise. Similar philosophies can be found in the books Power of 10: The Once-a-Week Slow Motion Fitness Revolution by Adam Zickerman and Bill Schley, and Flip the Switch: Discover the Weight-Loss Solution and the Secret of Getting Started by Jim Karas, among others.

About the Mini-Grant Program: Schools and other community organizations in southwest Indiana that promote health careers for youth (grades 6-12), offer clinical experiences for health professions students, or provide continuing education for health professionals may be eligible to receive a mini-grant from the Southwest Indiana Area Health Education Center (SWI-AHEC).
Each year, SWI-AHEC seeks applications for projects in Daviess, Dubois, Gibson, Knox, Perry, Pike, Posey, Spencer, Vanderburgh, and Warrick counties.
"We are interested in projects across the health care workforce pipeline, from youth to current health care professionals. Our focus is on the diversity, distribution, and quality of the health care workforce throughout southwest Indiana," said Jane Friona, SWI-AHEC executive director. "Historically, awards have ranged between $1,000 and $4,000. The number of mini-grants awarded will be dependent on the number of proposals we receive."
2015 Legislative Breakfast
Dare to Dream participants invited to career exploration programs
Southwest Indiana Area Health Education Center (SWI-AHEC) is collaborating with Dare to Dream for a Health Careers Exploration Programs to be held over the next months at USI and other community locations. This program is geared toward high school students (9th through 12th grades, including recent graduates) with a goal to foster their interest in health careers, as well as prepare them for postsecondary education in a health profession.
The program is funded through a city of Evansville Youth Leadership Grant.
SWI-AHEC works closely with Ivy Tech Community College and the University of Evansville, in addition to our relationship with USI, so a variety of health programs and professions will be featured.
This Health Careers Exploration program is a response to the pressing need to improve the diversity and cultural competency of health professionals, which is one of SWI-AHEC's focus areas. Nationally, the diversity of health care professionals does not mirror that of the overall population, and research supports that a lack of racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity in the workforce produces barriers that can also increase health disparities. Attracting minority youth, particularly those in underserved areas, to pursue health careers will also produce positive outcomes for the employability and success of the youth, as the demand for jobs in health care is projected to be strong.
There is no cost for participants in the Dare to Dream Mentoring Program, but space is limited. For more information, contact Danny Henderson, firstname.lastname@example.com or 812-774-1570.

THE cast of BAFTA award winning Broadchurch has gathered for the first read-through of the upcoming new series.
Photos were released on Thursday showing the whole cast at a 'top secret location'.
The photo includes David Tennant, Olivia Colman, Jodie Whittaker, Andrew Buchan and Arthur Darvill.
New additions Charlotte Rampling, Eve Myles, James D'Arcy and Marianne Jean-Baptiste also feature.
The West Dorset-based show, created by Bridport writer Chris Chibnall, picked up three awards at the BAFTA Television awards last Sunday.
It won the Best Drama Series, Best Leading Actress and Best Supporting Actor awards.
Broadcaster ITV, and production companies Kudos and Imaginary Friends, confirmed Eve, James, and Marianne as part of the cast earlier this week, alongside Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
Speaking after the announcement, ITV's Director of Drama Steve November said: "We're delighted with the stellar cast assembled for the new series of Broadchurch.
"There's a real sense of heightened anticipation about what's to come, although we're desperate to protect the secrets of Broadchurch to avoid spoiling what happens next for the viewers."
The show's official Twitter account also tweeted a photo (below) of Mr Chibnall's seat at the table where the read-through took place.

Details of the new characters and storylines for the second series won't be revealed during filming as the cast and crew remain tight lipped about how the drama develops.
Jane Featherstone will continue as an executive producer alongside Mr Chibnall.
Meanwhile, James Strong, who directed five episodes of the first series, including episode one, will be directing the first two episodes of the new series.
Filming will begin later this month in Dorset and North Somerset.
The cast and crew are expected to stay at The Bull Hotel once again, with reservations being made.
The production company's location manager has been spotted in West Bay and business owners have expressed their delight at having the series back.
Mr Chibnall has appealed to the media and members of the public who might witness some of the filming to help keep the storyline under wraps.

GARDEN GROVE – The Humdinger Bar, a long-time fixture on Harbor Boulevard, will have to move.
The City Council on Tuesday voted 5-0 to purchase the land on which the bar has been operating at 12581 Harbor Blvd. for $1.4 million. City officials say this was the last piece of land needed to make way for a 600-room water park hotel resort to be developed by Colorado-based McWhinney Real Estate Services.
City Council members recently approved paying McWhinney $42 million upfront after the hotel opens. City officials estimate that the city will get $8.5 million a year in bed tax, property and sales taxes once the hotel opens. Yoshizaki said the debt will be paid off with those profits and that residents will not see anything on their property tax bills as a result of this bond.
Council members approved paying the money upfront after McWhinney made the request stating that they were faced with tough lending terms. The city will pay the money after the hotel opens.
Economic Development Director Chet Yoshizaki said the former land owners have taken the responsibility of finding an alternate location for the bar.
No one answered the phone at The Humdinger Bar Wednesday morning.
The city's redevelopment agency had to write a $7.9 million check to the state after a Superior Court decision last week forced all cities to pay a portion of its redevelopment funds to the state to make up for the gaping budget deficit. But Yoshizaki said the resort projects involving hotels or the water park will not be affected as a result.
The city will also vacate the Travel County RV Park to make way for the water park. Residents of the park have sued the city asking for fair relocation. McWhinney is expected to announce a hotel operator for the resort as early as next month.

Series Brief Review
Touched by the Black Death, a little girl becomes a zombie. Twenty years later... Leaving the boring, repetitive work at the smithy behind, Van manages to escape the premises, only to be caught by George, standing guard at the gates. Though he receives an earful and a chase, Van still manages to escape. George had been fearing Van growing up for a while and can't help but get a bad feeling as he sees him disappear. He yells at Van to not go near the Restricted area. Though he replied "alright," Van headed towards the North Gates, a request of Edmond's. Feeling the adrenaline, as he watches the two lookouts, a man suddenly appears and kills the two, leaving the Gate open. Soon, smelling the blood, four zombies hobble in and start attacking the injured guards. Van decides that he needs to let somebody know, but was exposed to the zombies in the process. As his strength leaves his legs, the zombies catch up to him. Just when the zombies are near and Van is sure he's dying, a sudden surge of strength emerges from his body and Van starts to overpower the zombies...

We are now officially in World Cup mode and boy are we enjoying it.
Brazil got their campaign off to a winning start last night as they came from behind to beat Croatia 3-1 in Sao Paulo.
And today it is the turn of their Group A rivals Cameroon and Mexico to face off in Natal.
While yesterday there was just one game, there will be a further two on Friday with Spain taking on Netherlands and Chile facing Australia.
Here's our guide to the opening clash on day two, as the greatest show on earth continues.
What time is the game?
Cameroon vs Mexico will kick-off at 17:00 BST at the Arena dos Dunas in Natal.
What's on the line?
Both sides will be looking to make a winning start to the competition, with two tricky games to follow.
After last night's success, Brazil top the group with three points and a plus two goal difference.
Mexico take on the host nation next up on June 17, before Cameroon and Croatia collide the following day in Manaus.
And the group positions will still probably be up in the air on June 23, when the remaining games are to be played.
Have they played each other before?
Mexico and Cameroon have only played once, way back in September 1993.
That match was a friendly, with Mexico winning 1-0.
Who should we watch out for?
The World Cup is set to follow a similar story to life in club football for Javier Hernandez, who is expected to be on the Mexico bench later today.
Oribe Peralta will lead the line for Miguel Herrera's men after scoring eight times in his last six competitive appearances, with ex-Tottenham player Giovanni Dos Santos just in behind.
Look out for international veterans Rafael Marquez and Andres Guardado.
For Cameroon, Samuel Eto'o continues to be their star man - and in turn carry the hopes of a nation.
Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Alex Song - familiar names to Premier League fans - should also start for the Indomitable Lions.
Striker Vincent Aboubakar made our list for one's to watch out for this summer.
Where can I watch it?
The match will again be shown on ITV1 and IT1HD - so let's hope for no more stones thrown from protesters.
Coverage of the clash will begin at 4pm, with Adrian Chiles joined in the studio by Patrick Vieira, Glenn Hoddle and Fabio Cannavaro.
Commentary will come from Sam Matterface and Clarke Carlisle.
What if I don't have a TV handy?
Well then you are luck, as Mirror Football will be providing a LIVE blog on the action in Natal.
Be sure to check back in the build-up for the latest team news and facts, as the tournament reaches day two.
Not only that, we will be offering a blog on EACH and EVERY game this summer.
You'd be a fool to miss out.
Betting odds
Mexico are favourites for this evening's clash, with Paddy Power pricing them at 13/10.
You can get 5/2 for Cameroon, with the draw on offer at 21/10.

Kayla Sax and the Female Navy Submariners
How many women are active-duty Navy: 52,446
Until now, how long the Navy's submarines have been staffed by men: Over a century
How many women are entering the Navy's submarine officer training program this summer: 24
This summer, 24 women will enter the Navy's submarine officer training program, breaking one of the last gender barriers in the military. For over a century, the U.S. Navy's submarines have been staffed exclusively by men.
Among them will be Naval Academy graduate Midshipman Kayla Sax of Richland, Washington. She is a Systems Engineering Honors Major at the United States Naval Academy and a part of the Academy's Trident Scholar program. She looks forward to the challenges of leadership in a close-knit community. As an engineering major, Kayla specializes in nuclear energy and recently won a Gates Foundation scholarship to study at Cambridge.
The courageous women leading our nation's military into a new era includes Tabitha Gant of Bowie, Maryland; Abigail Gesecki of Luzerne, Colorado; Elizabeth Hudson of Plymouth, Massachusetts; Peggy LeGrand, of Amarillo, Texas; Rachel Lessard of Newburyport, Massachusetts, Kristin Lyles of Fairfax Station, Virginia; Laura Martindale of Roselle, Illinois; Marquette Ried of Fort Collins, Colorado; Misty Webster of Wesley Chapel, Florida and Jessica Wilcox of Honesdale, Pennsylvania.
The U.S. Navy's first female submarine officers will begin their duty assignments in early 2012.
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates formally presented a letter to Congress in Febuary notifying them of the Department of Navy's desire to reverse current policy of prohibiting submarine service to women. "There are extremely capable women in the Navy who have the talent and desire to succeed in the submarine force," said the Honorable Ray Mabus, Secretary of the Navy. "Enabling them to serve in the submarine community is best for the submarine force and our Navy. We literally could not run the Navy without women today."
Currently, women make up 15 percent of the active duty Navy for a total 52,446 women. Integrating women into the submarine force increases the talent pool for officer accessions and subsequently the force's overall readiness, ensuring that the U.S. Submarine Force will remain the worlds most capable for ensuing decades.
"Today, women earn about half of all science and engineering bachelor's degrees," said Vice Adm. John J. Donnelly, Commander, Naval Submarine Forces. "There are capable women who have the interest, talent, and desire to succeed in the submarine force."

To find out more about the new and exciting Helly Hansen range at Simply Piste, read on…
The guys at Helly Hansen don't spend their days in comfortable offices, wearing suits.

This specialist light weight fleece is extremely comfortable to wear, and gives you the extra warmth that you need. The Helly Hansen fleeces and jackets are both perfect for mid layer wear, and can be worn to keep warm off the slopes too.
If you're looking for the perfect base layers and mid layers be sure to check out the growing selection we have at the Simply Piste store. We are adding the following popular items to our range – the Freeze 1/2 Zip, the Stripe Crew, the Ice Crew and the Dynamic Long Sleeve. Like all Helly Hansen ski wear these base layers come with plenty of must have features including – flat lock stitching for low bulk, hollow fibre technology for sub-zero temperatures, lightweight construction, close to body fit, stretch, rapid moisture transfer and fast drying.

Pakistani websites are quite popular over the internet, today we bring to you the list of top 10 highest earning, most profitable websites of Pakistani origin.
Best Pakistani Websites
During the last decade (2006 onwards) Pakistani's have been pretty active over the internet not only in surfing but contributing heavily towards the growth and development. Thanks to the expertise of Pakistani IT professionals, one of the best designed and well maintained websites over the internet lay their origins from Pakistan.
Due to recession and scarcity in jobs more companies/ professionals and students are stepping into the field of internet media with a lot of them succeeding in building high quality revenue generating internet properties. For a lot of companies the major revenue stream stems from outsourcing their services to large international clients but for freelancers blogging is the best way to make money online.
"Please note this list is only about high earning websites and neither highlights the IT companies that have gained million dollar capitalization through offshore provision for services nor includes the dynamic scripts, portals and complex app based servers created by Pakistani Engineers".
Top 10 Highest Earning & Profitable Pakistani Websites
01. Tradekey.com
Though most of the Pakistani audience may be alien to Tradekey.com but the matter of the fact remains, this is the best and highest earning website in Pakistan's Internet empire. Tradekey is a multinational Internet Company that has offices in Saudi Arabia, China and Pakistan.
According to one of the most authentic rankings provider "AllWorld" Tradekey is among the top 5 fastest growing companies of Pakistan. Tradekey currently has over 450+ employees and is upon the track towards further improvement. Having a brief look at the corporate profile, TradeKey.com is the world's leading and fastest growing online business-to-business (B2B) marketplace that connects small and medium businesses across the globe for international trade. With a mission to help the world do business smartly, TradeKey.com was established in 2005. TradeKey.com currently boasts a member base of over 5.7 million businesses from 240 countries and it welcomes visits of over 9.5 Million buyers and sellers every month.
02. Gsmarena.com
I was recently startled to find out about ownership of GsmArena.com in Pakistani hands. GsmArena is the largest website having in-depth analysis, reviews and information about existing and upcoming Mobile Phones. GsmArena is one of the two Pakistani websites that rank within the range of top 1000 global website according to Alexa with Gsm Arena being the only Pakistani website to rank in the top 450 websites of the world.
Although despite doing a lot of research I have no backing evidence of Pakistani management behind this exceptionally well maintained website but some sources claim GsmArena to originate from Karachi Pakistan. If this website is Pakistani then it's a mere depiction of immense talent in Pakistan.
03. Zameen.com
Zameen.com is an online real estate database that connects real estate dealers, developers, estate agencies with general buyers, sellers and renters in Pakistan. The site lists properties for sale and rent and has an active blog, news section and a forum. The company is headquartered in Lahore, Pakistan and has offices in Karachi and Lahore and operates all over Pakistan.
It is the first Pakistani website to attract foreign investment, today Zameen.com has evolved into one of the largest online property portals in Asia and they have also rolled out a property magazine.
Zameen.com was founded in 2006 by two brilliant Pakistani entrepreneur brothers from Lahore, Zeeshan and Imran Ali Khan. The website had some initial success and was available free of cost until 2010 when it was shifted to a paid model. In 2012, Gilles Blanchard, the co-founder SeLoger.com (a French property portal), invested money into the company and took up the role of Chairman at Zameen.com.
In May 2014, Zameen.com struck an investment deal with Frontier Digital Ventures and Catcha Group after which Shaun Di Gregorio and Patrick Grove, CEO of Frontier DV and Catcha Group respectively, joined Zameen.com's Board of Directors.
04. Rozee.pk
Owned by Naseeb Networks Inc. the only venture capital backed Pakistani Internet Company, Rozee.pk is the most viewed job board in Pakistan. Rozee.pk connects over 50,000 employers with thousands of job seekers.
05. Tune.pk
Tune.pk is a video sharing website where users from all over the world can upload, watch and share videos. Founded in 2006 by Arslan Hassan, a Sialkot based programmer, the website didn't reach the heights of success until 2010, when some local websites started posting their videos on tune.pk platform. Today Tune.pk is one of the most visited and highly profitable Pakistani website.
06. Pakwheels.com
Personally I admire Pakwheels.Com being the best automobile classified website highlighting current industry issues.

It is the fastest growing financial portal in Asia. Initially the website was offering research reports to corporate sector only in Pakistan but now the website has expanded itself to cater Middle East and North Africa markets. In September 2013, the portal attracted heavy investment from the Aref Mohammed alZarouni Group of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and now is evolving into a full-fledged investor guide.
Investor Guide is evolving into a revolutionary portal built on principle of utilizing technology to merge financial information, financial literacy, investment banking and social media through integrated online platforms.
"Last year the website faced a major controversy when the founding partner of the website, Baqar Abbas Jafri alleged Muhammad Ali Khan (CEO of AMZ MAK Group) for hijacking the website and confiscating its assets illegally".
08. Tribune.com.pk
The international brand landed in Pakistan with the franchise purchased by Express Newspaper of Pakistan. In a short time Tribune has turned one of the most viewed internet newspapers in Pakistan offering latest news, editorials and trends from across the globe.
09. Dawn.Com

One of the very few Pakistani websites ranking within top 1000 websites of the world by Alexa songs.pk used to serve millions of page views per month. Founded by Tayyab in 2006 (Lahore Pakistan) songs.pk was one of the largest music websites of Asia. The website faced a ban imposed from Indian Judicial Courts in 2012, that halted its growth. The website has shifted its operations to SongsPk.Name and is still one of the most visited music websites in Asia.
10. Socialoholic
Socialoholic is one of the fastest growing digital publishing start up in Pakistan. Founded in 2011, by two enthusiastic internet ninjas Saad Bassi (Multan Based Entrepreneur) and Hammad Dar (Islamabad Based Blogger). With a monthly reach of around 31 Million Unique Visitors while generating around 1 Billion page views every month, Socialoholic Inc is now one of the most prodigious entertainment networks on the internet. The two websites that I have explored from this network are LolHappens and Funnie.st. Funnie.st was once among the top 700 global websites according to Alexa rankings. Both these guys harnessed the true potential of social media marketing to drive in large volumes of traffic towards their websites. Although I am unsure if both of these websites are still the property of Socialoholic Network.
There are a few other very good websites that deserve to be discussed here, i am introducing a few of those below
Hamariweb.com is one of the best internet projects meant to cater local Pakistani audience. HamariWeb.Com is owned by WebBiz Media Pvt Limited and provides Pakistani surfers with well structured Urdu news, poetry, cricket updates, educational articles, social networks, blogs, online TV and many other handy tools.
The most read local Telecom and IT sector news blog founded by Aamir Ataa an online Journalist from Islamabad Pakistan. Within a short span of three years ProPakistani has turned a well-known brand among Pakistani internet surfers and still improving.
Founded in 2008 by a Bahria University Graduate, Ghaus Iftikhar Nakodari, Addictivetips is one of the leading internet blogs in technology niche, offering credible reviews and tips to technology enthusiasts across the globe. He also runs his own file sharing start up namely Jumpshare.
Creating a super website ain't a tough nut to crack but maintaining its elegance is an art and Pakistani's are experts in this regard. Be prepared and continue your hard work may be in the coming years your site could also make it to the top of this list.

text: Comments (6) + Add comment Comments (6) Featured Nevers0ft + 1110d ago I bought this for the Wii U last night and have to disagree with the score above. The game is OK but I wouldn't give it 8.5/10 (more like 6/10) While the game looks quite good, the voice acting funny and the sprawling caves varied - the game lacks polish. Some people are complaining of total lock-ups which I haven't experienced. But I have experienced the occasional frame-rate drop or jerky scrolling. The controls are also odd, allowing 2/3 player co-op but at any time you can take over a character being "occupied" by another player - last night I threatened to beat a friend half to death with the Pro Controller because he kept accidentally using the D-pad and "stealing" my character. I realise the game is supposed to be co-op, but selecting characters and changing camera focus actually gets in the way of the game... Eventually we just switched to single player while the other player rolled blunts (which may have added to the confusion but it's how we play most games). Another annoyance is the inability to play the game off-TV. The Gamepad touch-screen is ONLY used for character selection - combine that with the frame-rate issues and I can only assume this is another rushed Wii U port. Don't get me wrong, the game isn't terrible, just flawed. Especially when there's a MUCH better puzzle platformer available for the Wii U: Although the gameplay isn't entirely the same, the concepts are close enough to put this game firmly in Trine 2's shadow. #1 (Edited 1110d ago ) | Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply wita + 1110d ago It may be that the Wii U version is, as you're calling it, "another rushed Wii U port," as most of your complaints deal with technical performance. This is a review for the PlayStation 3 version. #1.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Nevers0ft + 1110d ago Ah, the article doesn't indicate which version was reviewed but the technical problems exist in at least two console versions. There's specific mention of the 360 problems in this review: http://www.411mania.com/gam... About my comment about it being another rushed port - lack of off-TV play when the game doesn't utilise the Gamepad is sloppy. Several developers have commented on how quick and easy it is to implement off-TV play so there's no excuse other than kicking the game out of the door for it not to be in there. "Rushed" is the wrong word though, it has the same technical issues as other versions... So I'll change it to a "Sloppy" or maybe "Hasty" port :) #1.1.1 (Edited 1110d ago ) | Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report wita + 1110d ago @Nevers0ft: The review indicates the version that was reviewed two times: in the second paragraph and at the bottom. ;) It does sound like there are much worse technical issues in the Xbox 360 and Wii U versions, which is unfortunate! That review you linked to does say that the those problems are the biggest detriment to the game, so I think that can account for some of the differences in score. #2 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Nevers0ft + 1109d ago Ooops sorry, totally missed that. I read the article and that titbit didn't sink in then when I went to check before I posted I checked the info panel but still missed it in the article. I half expect a patch to fix many of the issues and hopefully add off-TV play. The issues aren't a game-breaker, I went back to it again last night for another blast... But as far as co-op platform puzzlers (is that even a genre or am I making crap up? :)) the game is overshadowed by Trine 2 - which is stunning and infinitely playable. #2.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply wita + 1110d ago Also, that review you linked to does make a good point about repetition. Eliminating one character would have solved a good deal of that problem. #3 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Add comment You need to be registered to add comments.

I am trying to create a
googleVis MotionChart with the Google Visualization API, using the
R package.
My problem is that I would like to publish the MotionChart on the internet and for this I want to be able to control the default variables for the different axis/dimensions.
A lot of information can be set using:
gvisMotionChart(M, options=list(state='xxx')
'xxx' is the state which can be copied from the Advanced tab in a MotionChart, however the default time series are not included in the state.
My question is, how can I choose the default variables for the different axis/dimensions of the googleVis MotionChart?

I don't bother with the turkey leg, personally. I don't see any use in it, but that's just me. I know it won't combo, but it's a good mixup move.
