The discounted likelihood procedure, which is a robust extension of the usual EM procedure, is presented, and two approximations which lead to two different variants of the usual MLLR adaptation scheme are introduced. These schemes are shown to robustly estimate speaker adaptation transforms with very little data. The evaluation is carried out on the Switchboard corpus.

SINGAPORE Sustained weakness in the Chinese yuan has soured sentiment on emerging Asian currencies while views on the Singapore dollar turned negative in the past two weeks, a Reuters poll showed on Thursday.
Short positions in the yuan slightly increased, according to the survey of 13 analysts, as the renminbi hit a 16-month low on Wednesday.
China has been trying to dent speculation over one-way appreciation in the yuan. As a result, the currency's weakness, has bolstered the market's bearish views and boosted dollar demand among local companies.
Growing pessimism on the Chinese currency weighed on other emerging Asian currencies as they tend to closely track the yuan due to the region's heavy dependence on the world's second-largest economy.
Long positions in the Taiwan dollar and the Malaysian ringgit, which are often used as a proxy to bet on yuan moves, fell.
Sentiment on the Singapore dollar, another yuan proxy currency, turned bearish after the central bank trimmed this year's headline inflation forecast.
The South Korean won's long positions also fell.
Meanwhile, bullish bets on the Indonesian rupiah were cut back after the main opposition party failed to win enough votes in parliamentary elections to nominate the popular Jakarta governor Joko Widodo for the presidential election without the help of other parties.
The rupiah came under further pressure on month-end corporate dollar demand and higher bond yields.
Long positions in the Indian rupee fell as investors took profits ahead of parliamentary elections in May. Oil importers' dollar bids also weighed on the rupee.
The previous poll showed sentiment on emerging Asian currencies improved on easing views of an early rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve.
The Reuters survey is focused on what analysts believe are the current market positions in nine Asian emerging market currencies: the Chinese yuan, South Korean won, Singapore dollar, Indonesian rupiah, Taiwan dollar, Indian rupee, Philippine peso, Malaysian ringgit and the Thai baht.
The poll uses estimates of net long or short positions on a scale of minus 3 to plus 3.
A score of plus 3 indicates the market is significantly long U.S. dollars. The figures included positions held through non-deliverable forwards (NDFs).

Paragon Walk (original 1981; edition 1986)
by Anne Perry
Work details
Paragon Walk by Anne Perry (1981)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Having jumped into this series in the middle of the books, I decided to go back and read some of the earlier ones and it made me realize what I liked about the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt in the first place. This is the third book in the series and Charlotte and Thomas are still newly married with a baby daughter. A young woman from a ealthy area in London is found raped and murdered on the very stret tht Charlotte's sister, Emily, lives. Pitt, of course, has to investigate and in doing so we re introduced to wonderful Aunt Vespasia, who is wonderfully arch - much more so than she is in the later volumes. And Charlotte and Emily are a great duo as they snoop around trying to find out who the real culprit is. Anne Perry even allows Charlotte to be silly - something that definitely does not happen in the later books.
Reading these early efforts makes me wish that Pitt was still a policeman and that Charlotte was once again his trusty partner in detective work. It would make thte later books a lot more fun.
I am on a collision course and I cannot stop. I have read all the Monk and Christmas series by Anne Perry, and have started on the Thomas and Charlotte Pitt series. The Monk series remains my favorite collection. The Pitt series lacks the depth and character of the Monk series, even though both series feature the different classes of people. Perry continues in the Pitt series to show the hate and vengeance of females. Perry elegantly describes the fashion of the upper crust, but emotion hides in this elegance.
Charlotte and Thomas Pitt are back investigating murder. This time a young woman has been raped and murdered in Paragon Walk, a fashionable London street that happens to be home to Charlotte's sister Emily. Charlotte and Emily decide to investigate. As Charlotte has married down and become a policeman's wife, Emily will have to dress Charlotte back up as the fashionable lady she once was.
This book seemed to be more social interaction and less crime-solving. Charlotte and Emily spend most of their time attending social functions and gossiping. It seems that Perry really wanted to spend more time commenting on social life and customs than to write a mystery. Undoubtedly the bitchy social interaction is amusing. It's a backstabbing, every woman for herself arena, where Victorian manners and their transgressions are on full display. Still, I really wanted more mystery. I hope Perry returns to more mystery in the next volume of the series.
I liked this book even though it is more of a slice of life on an upper-crust Victorian street than a mystery. I like the characters and the relationship between sisters Emily who married up and Charlotte who married down. Perry keeps her "Why I hate Victorians" essays to a minimum { for Anne Perry.) But Charlotte spending the funeral of a murdered 17 year old rape victim fuming about the absurdity of Victorian mourning customs is totally cold-hearted.
Substance: The only legitimate clue is discounted for half the book, then set aside again until the end. The motive for the killer is non-existent until the last page. But the characters stew over their suspicions interminably, with much repetition and no progress, creating a farrago of nonsense. No one actually detects anything. Mrs. Pitt frequently pronounces her anachronistic opinions in opposition to the statements of the other characters, clearly meant to show that the author is enlightened (because there is no motivation or discussion of the values).
Style: I hope this is an isolated example of poor work: Anne Perry is a tiresome writer. The plot limps, the characters are mouthpieces, the milieu is window-dressing. The narrative constantly alludes to prior books without explanation. Poor continuity. A tabloid-romance, not a mystery.

Critic Reviews for Mirror Mirror
All Critics (174) | Top Critics (35) | Fresh (85) | Rotten (88) | DVD (4)
Credit director Tarsem Singh with the flickers of originality you'll find.
You can only disappoint your fans so often before they turn and run in droves. Just ask Roberts' close friend, Mel Gibson.
Mirror Mirror features over-indulgent story moments and, at times, hammy performances but still delivers a mostly fun riff on the Snow White story.
While it may not be as memorable as his other good projects, Singh has delivered a film that should delight audiences of all ages because of the timelessness of the story and the spin the writers have put on it.
Mirror Mirror is an aesthetically fantastical yet ultimately tedious film that may occasionally please the tots in the audience. However, it will leave adults far less enchanted.
The tone is campy and fun, although Roberts is better with the lighthearted dark comedy side of her role. Still, the script is light and witty, poking a lot of fun at itself and the visual artistry is absolutely gorgeous to look at.
Audience Reviews for Mirror Mirror
Julia Roberts seems to be having a lot of fun in this amusing satire that plays with fairy tale clich�s as a feminist take on the classic story full of witty dialogue and with a solid script that is much more inspired than Snow White and the Huntsman, even if not remarkable.
Super Reviewer
A charming, creative (and uneven) re-imagining of the Snow White tale. Entertaining performances by Armie Hammer and Nathan Lane. Julia Roberts was a disappointment, seeming to have dialed it in with the passion and skill of a high school drama teacher.
Super Reviewer
Snow White's story gets a pseudo-feminist re-boot, but much of the story remains intact.
I was ready to give this film three stars, a stretch for me because films like this are not my cup of tea, but the closing credits were scored by an auto-tuned, dance-club number that is, in the words of Super Reviewer Alice Shen, "half-Bollywood." I didn't even watch the full number. It was revolting.
I watched the film for its costume design, the category for which it's nominated, and the costumes and production design are indeed nomination-worthy. Lush, colorful schemes abound, and the film is a visual delight.
We all know the story. I have always contended that Snow White is coded racism and sexism; after all, the "fairest of the land" can be a synonym for "whitest," and Snow White is confined to domestic duties when she joins the dwarves. But when Snow eschews the Prince's help, she essentially deploys a feminist message, saying that she doesn't need a man to rescue her. I wish they had stuck with this, but the plot eventually proves that she does need rescuing. The film was so close to something unique.
All the performances are fine. Nathan Lane is Nathan Lane, and Julia Roberts is charmingly caddy. Lily Collins was there too.
Overall, this film had promise once upon a time.

Jason Moran on the 'bandwagon'
The acclaimed jazz pianist, a MacArthur Foundation 'genius' grant recipient, now oversees jazz programming at the Kennedy Center. He and his group perform in La Jolla Wednesday.
Jason Moran's status as one of the most gifted and acclaimed jazz stars to emerge in the past 15 years is a matter of record. So is his 2010 MacArthur Fellowship, informally known as the "genius grant," and his position as a first-call pianist for such luminaries as saxophonist Charles Lloyd, drummer Jack DeJohnette and singer Cassandra Wilson. n Less noted, but equally notable, is this Texas native's status as a self-acknowledged workaholic with a tireless devotion to his chosen art form.
"I don't know when — or where — my limit is, but I might be reaching it," Moran, 38, said from a recent concert tour stop with Lloyd in Finland. "I'm doing a lot right now, but the music demands that. And the health of the music demands that."
In addition to composing, touring and having recorded 10 increasingly assured solo albums since 1999, Moran has been featured on nearly 60 albums by other artists.
He teaches at both the New England Conservatory of Music and the Manhattan School of Music in New York, where he lives with his wife, singer Alicia Hall Moran, and their 4-year-old twin sons, Jonas and Malcolm. Since late 2011, he has served as the Artistic Advisor for Jazz at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
That position was previously held by fellow pianist Dr. Billy Taylor, who died in 2010. Taylor was one of the nation's foremost champions of jazz, through his work at the Kennedy Center and nationwide, and as a featured correspondent on the weekly CBS national TV show "Sunday Morning."
"This allows me to continue what Dr. Taylor had done at the Kennedy Center, which is to create a forum for jazz, to present the finest music, and to make sure we present the full spectrum of the music," Moran explained. "I not only curate the performances, I lead the Betty Carter Jazz Ahead program, which is an intensive, two-week, annual program for musicians under 25. I also commission pieces from other artists. (Saxophone giant) Wayne Shorter is writing a piece for the National Symphony Orchestra, which we'll debut in the fall."
Always eager to think and act outside of the box, Moran last fall put together a jazz and comedy concert at the Kennedy Center. It teamed his stellar trio, The Bandwagon, with comics David Alan Grier, Faizon Love and Marina Franklin.
'A dream position'
Under Moran's guidance, the Kennedy Center has also hosted such diverse offerings as a jazz tribute to the songs of Oscar winner Randy Newman, a concert series by various Scandinavian jazz artists and the first Kennedy Center performance in 20 years by saxophonist Anthony Braxton.
For the center's upcoming 2013/2014 season, Moran is stretching even further.
Likely highlights include a solo concert by avant-jazz piano icon Cecil Taylor, a salute to gypsy jazz guitar pioneer Django Reinhardt, a duo performance by jazz and gospel-music pianist Cyrus Chestnut and opera star Kathleen Battle, and a concert saluting the 75th anniversary of Blue Note Records that will feature Wilson, Moran and Norah Jones.
"It's a dream position to be in," Moran said. "Not only do I get to see a lot of great music, but I've found an outlet — in the nation's capital — to make sure the music is presented in the best way it can be.
"I knew Dr. Taylor. We spent time together, and he talked about the future of the music. He wanted to make sure the culture of the music was attached to jazz — the African-American culture, the relationship to gender, to race, to socioeconomics — and that they do not get separated from the music. He wanted to work with artists who are willing to have those discussions. He was really forward-looking in that way, and people gave him their trust."

Tallahassee, FL - They've crossed over the border by the millions taking refuge in cities and towns all across America, but nowhere have illegal immigrants left a bigger mark than in Arizona. A state that now has a law devoted to questioning anybody suspected of being a non-citizen.
Here at home, Republican Senator Mike Bennett has now filed a bill that would bring an Arizona-style law to Florida. It's enough to concern Orlando native Anthony Fabre.
Fabre says, "You can't guarantee that someone is not going to be racially profiled because, for example, I was born in this country, he wasn't, but you would think that he was born here and I wasn't because of the way that I look. But, the truth is completely opposite."
Unlike in Arizona, the bill would only allow authorities to question suspected illegal immigrants if they've broken the law, but critics call it intrusive nonetheless, especially in a state where illegal immigration may not be that big of an issue.
After all, Florida is hundreds of miles away from the Mexican border, and most of our large Cuban population enjoys asylum, but, Florida political scientist Carol Weissert says Bennett's bill may be aimed at pleasing Republican voters, with an eye toward 2012.
Weissert says, "I think with the Hispanic population in Florida, it's a very complicated mix and not monolithic in any way, so even how it plays out with that base, so this may be a very smart political calculation - you're dealing with your base, and it's not an issue that's important to many other people."
That is, not yet.
The debate over illegal immigration has gone national, with Florida set to become the next battleground.

New Friendships; Reynolds, Rice and Bailey. (December, 1816--March, 1817)
THE winter and early spring of 1817 was a period of new contacts and experiences. The mind of Keats, fixed to the rock of his own character and individuality, was reaching out its tentacles and grasping food for new poetry and thought.
He must have spent many hours in Leigh Hunt's booklined study and in Haydon's crowded painting-room. Although public association with Hunt did damage to Keats's reputation, and although Hunt perhaps encouraged him unduly in his native luxuriance of sentiment and expression, his influence was a fruitful one. Hunt was a fine and a constructive critic (his reputation as a critic has been overshadowed in that age so rich in criticism by Hazlitt, Coleridge and Lamb) and, though as a writer of poetry his taste was faulty, it was fastidious, epicurean in his reading of it. Later in Imagination and Fancy he shewed how swiftly he was able to get at the heart of a poet.
Hunt could bring Keats not only into closer acquaintance with the Elizabethans, but into early touch with that wealth of poetry from which the Elizabethans drew their early inspiration, the Italian. Keats could not yet read the language, but he had a fair knowledge of Latin and he would hear its beautiful cadences as Leigh Hunt read aloud to him. We know that Hunt's reading of poetry was a joy to his friends. Keats could not fail, with his keen ear, to catch something of the liquid and lovely movement. Colvin pointed out that the opening of the sonnet, ' On a Picture of Leander' (now considered to have been written in 1817):
Come hither all sweet maidens soberly, Down-looking aye, and with a chasten'd light, Hid in the fringes of your eyelids white, And meekly let your fair hands joined be . . .
has a feeling of:
1Voi, che portate la sembianza umile, Cogli occbi bassi mostrando dolore,
Onde venite, chè'l vostro colore
Par divenuto di pietà simile?
your hue seam grown to pity's semblance.--( THOMAS OKEY's translation.)

Hurricane Katrina Relief Effort
First United Presbyterian Church
Ron Talbert, Project Chairperson
Hurricane Katrina hit the Mississippi and Louisiana Gulf Coastal area on Monday, August 29, 2005. Among recorded Atlantic hurricanes it was one of the five deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history, and the sixth strongest overall. At least 1,836 people died in the hurricane and subsequent floods, with total property damage estimated at $81 billion (2005 USD).
The immediate effect was the devastation to the coastal areas, as the huge storm surge hit homes and businesses from central Florida to Texas, with the most severe property losses in coastal Mississippi. Mississippi beachfront towns were over 90% in a matter of a few hours, as boats and casino barges rammed buildings, pushing cars and houses inland, with waters reaching 6-12 miles from the beach.
The most significant number of deaths occurred in New Orleans, Louisiana, which flooded when the levee system catastrophically failed after the storm surge moved inland. At it's worst 80% of New Orleans was flooded, with floodwaters lingering for weeks.
First United Presbyterian Church has sent a work team each year since 2005 to work with residents to restore hope, building homes through the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance program. Initially working in coastal Mississippi, efforts continue in New Orleans.

Once in a Lifetime: Diving and Dolphins in Grenada
For us, the island of Grenada isn't just a pretty face. Yes, its beaches are stunning and its coral is pristine, but there's a lot more to see if you really want to get under the skin of Grenada's rich and diverse culture. From the varied wildlife to the spices this island is famous for, these five unforgettable experiences will have you bragging to anyone who'll listen.
Dolphin & Whale Spotting in Grenada
We always love the chance to meet some of the island's most enigmatic residents in their natural habitat. Here, you can spot humpbacks, killer whales, pygmy and sperm whales among the 15 species that swim through Grenadian waters, as well as spinner, spotted, common and bottlenose dolphins. St. George's, Grenada, (473) 440 3678, www.catamaranchartering.com.
Learn to Cook in Grenada
If you're a food lover, one of the best things to do in Grenada is to go on a tour of the fertile soils and lush organic gardens at Maca Bana Villas. We loved meeting local farmers, tasting organically farmed crops, and personally harvesting ingredients. This is an area where rainforest ingredients range from tropical fruits to fresh mountain water that gushes from natural springs. You are guided through the origins of Grenadian food and its European and African influences, before learning to cook a West Indian dish. Maca Bana Villas, (473) 535 1900, www.macabana.com. Classes by arrangement.
Watch Leatherback Turtles Nesting
One of the most magical experiences to have in Grenada is to watch nesting leatherback turtles in their natural environment. We suggest arriving at the Levera National Park at about 10pm to watch in awe as these magnificent creatures haul themselves up the sands to lay their eggs.
Underwater Sculpture Park
Located in Molinere Bay's Marine Protected Area, we love this quirky cluster of coral-clad sculptures, which is gradually evolving into a habitat for a diverse array of marine life. It's a wonderfully unpretentious example of living art for snorkelers and divers alike.
Visit St George's Spice Market
No visit to the "Island of Spice" would be complete without a visit to the aromatic trading hub at the heart of the capital. Stroll the colour-rich stalls laden with fragrant spices, which are grown all over the island by farmers and co-operatives. You'll also find all sorts of spice bouquets, jams and jellies, rum and nutmeg syrup, together with tables piled high with freshly picked citrus fruits and plump, fresh vegetables.

Multi-Site Evaluation Demonstrates Effectiveness of Adult Drug Courts
Multi-Site Evaluation Demonstrates Effectiveness of Adult Drug Courts
Funded by the National Institute of Justice, the Multi-Site Adult Drug Court Evaluation is a comprehensive study of outcomes at 23 drug courts and six comparison jurisdictions around the country. The study found that adult drug courts substantially reduce crime and drug use and produce a particularly large return on investment (in terms of both recidivism reductions and cost savings) among offenders who are a high risk of re-offending. This brief article summarizes the study findings and discusses their policy implications. Published in Judicature.

Miami Dolphins: Dolphins brass does BP, talks Crowder-Ryan
So I'm out here at Land Shark Stadium doing a column on St. Thomas product Tyler Greene, now a Cardinals shortstop, when who comes ambling out for batting practice but Bill Parcells, Jeff Ireland and Dan Henning?
Got a few minutes to chat with Ireland. Here's what he said about the whole Channing Crowder-Rex Ryan war of words, which keeps getting bigger and crazier:
"It's about playing football, that's what I know," Ireland said firmly. "It's about playing football."
Has he or the team talked with Crowder yet about calming things down?
"That's a clubhouse thing," Ireland said. "I'll deal with that myself."
From his tone, you definitely got the sense that was a conversation that may have already happened, or could be happening very soon.
(Look for the rest of my conversation with Ireland right here on this blog on Thursday morning.)
Anyway, Parcells, as you all know, is a regular at Roger Dean Stadium each spring. He has become good friends with Tony La Russa, the Cardinals manager and his fellow future Hall of Famer.
Parcells spent a good part of Wednesday's visit chatting behind the batting cage with Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez, bench coach Carlos Tosca and third-base coach Bo Porter — a former Iowa football star.
When the Cardinals came out, many of them came by to pay their respects to the Dolphins visitors. Colby Rasmus, Skip Schumaker, Ryan Ludwick and, of course, Albert Pujols said hello.
Famed Cardinals trainer Barry Weinberg chatted at length with Ireland.
At one point you had La Russa standing on the platform behind the batting cage with Parcells to his right, Ireland to his left and Henning a few feet away. (Man, talk about the collective sports knowledge in those heads, huh?)
Pujols ripped one monster shot into the blue seats in left, and Ireland craned his neck to get a better view as he shook his head in admiration.
Parcells looked completely at ease as he leaned on the back of the batting cage. Big smile on his face. The guy truly loves baseball, it seems. Looking forward to talking some baseball with him one of these days.
Sort of makes you wonder how things might have turned out if he'd gone into that line of work instead.

The Input Method Kit Reference Collection
The Input Method Kit, introduced in OS X v10.5, provides a streamlined programming interface that lets you develop input methods with far less code than older Mac programming interfaces. It is fully integrated with the Text Services Manager. The Input Method Kit allows 32-bit applications to work with 64-bit applications.
The Input Method Kit provides classes and protocols for managing communication with client applications, candidates windows, and input method modes. Input methods supply text from a conversion engine (written in any language, such as C, C++, Objective-C, Python, and so on), key bindings and optional event handling, and information about your input method in an extended
Info.plist file. You also have the option to provide menu items that support input-method-specific commands or preferences settings.
NSObject is the root class of most Objective-C class hierarchies.
The IMKInputController class provides a base class for custom input controller classes.
The IMKServer class manages client connections to your input method.

Imagine if one of your legs was longer than the other? It might not sound like a serious problem, but it could lead to severe hip or back pain if not treated. Now there's a new way to permanently lengthen limbs.
College student David Pfeiffer lived with a painful problem for 12 years. When he was seven he broke his left leg. When it healed, it grew one-inch longer than his right.
"I was walking around with one leg longer than the other. It was causing back problems, " David said.
Patients like David used to have to wear a painful external device for months. Pins pierced the skin and muscle to literally stretch the leg. With the PRECICE limb lengthening system, a titanium rod with a magnetic motor is internally implanted in the patient's leg bone. An external remote control activates the magnets inside and gradually pulls the bone apart.
Dr. John Herzenberg, a Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore, is glad to see this new procedure. "No longer do my patients have to be condemned to wear this bulky medieval torture device outside their leg. This is what we've been waiting my whole professional career." Herzenberg said.
After 25 days of treatment, David's leg grew one-inch. Now he can stand tall without any pain holding him back.
The device is capable of lengthening up to three inches and can be used multiple times if needed. If the patient's leg is too long they can also reverse the effects by turning the magnets in the opposite direction as long as the bone has not healed.
So far, Dr. Herzenberg has used the system on about 100 patients.

The first trailer for Mad Max: Fury Road has arrived online and man is it cool. This is a smaller version of what was shown over the weekend at Comic-Con, and for many (including me), it was the most impressive footage — not just because it's rad as hell, but also in the way it so faithfully and passionately recaptures the wicked look, tone and feel of the original Mad Max franchise, or more specifically its second installment, The Road Warrior, which first hit theaters all the way back in 1981.
Mad Max: Fury Road hits theaters on May 15, 2015, and this trailer really does all the talking. It's relentless, brutal and ridiculously badass, and the worst part of the whole thing is how long we'll have to wait to devour it.
Check out the four impressive character posters that debuted along with the trailer below, and let us know what you think of the whole crazy thing.

See the chart of this year's Golden Globes box office bumps below.

They also returned to the tried-and-true platform release. That's due to the Academy's expansion of the best picture category, which makes it easier fo...Read More »

Narratives of Turning in
Native American Fiction
N. Scott Momaday, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Louise Erdrich
What most threatens the American Indian is the theft of the
sacred…. This is a subtle holocaust, and it is ongoing.
—N. Scott Momaday
While the religious dimension of contemporary Euro-American fiction is often overlooked, this is hardly the case when it comes to Native American literature. Here, on the contrary, spiritual preoccupations are taken for granted and even expected, so that a Native American writer who may not at first seem to share them for instance, the novelist James Welch is in danger of marginalization in the literary market. It is possible to ascribe this expectation to the emphatic registration of religious elements in the work of eminent Native American novelists such as N. Scott Momaday, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Louise Erdrich. Certainly we find, in their fiction, some of the most powerful accounts of postsecular struggle

Is this the year?
Seemingly before every season, Oklahoma is one of a few teams capable of winning a national title. And almost every year, that is the ultimate goal in Norman.
In 2000, when they weren't expected to, the Sooners won a championship, capping a remarkable 13-0 season.
OU has come close since, even playing in two other national championships, however, an eighth title has evaded the Sooners.
But there's reason to believe that this could be OU's year to secure that eighth title.
For the first time in years, quarterback is a position of strength, not of concern. The offensive and defensive lines are among the nation's elite. And the offense is filled with dynamic skill players like running back DeMarco Murray and tight end Jermaine Gresham.
The schedule also shapes up nicely. Texas is down. The toughest opponents come to Norman. And Big 12 North favorite Missouri isn't on the slate.
Could this be the year?
We'll soon find out.

In Virtuoso 5.1, I had a bindkey that looked like this:
"<Key>y" "CreateLine()")
You'd hit "y" and then click a point and then another point, and it would draw a 0-width line between the two points.
Virtuoso 6.1 has the command dbCreateLine, but I haven't been able to create a bindkey for it, and I also haven't found it in my menus and toolbars. Is there a way to create a bindkey for this, and does the command exist in a menu or toolbar within Virtuoso?
Thank you!
CreateLine() was presumably a custom function defined in your environment (it's not a Cadence function), which probably used an enter function (e.g. enterPoints() or enterLine() to digitize the points, and then called dbCreateLine() when it was done). The same underlying functions still exist, so presumably you could use the same custom code in IC61 too.
There's no menu to digitize a zero-width line (nor was there in IC51) in the layout editor.
In reply to Andrew Beckett:
Thank you, Andrew!
I'll contact my loal CAD group and ask them to recreate that custom function for 6.1. Thank you for your help!

A Franklin nonprofit thrift shop will open a new section to sell furniture starting Tuesday.
The Lord's Cupboard, 606 Banta St., is a retail store, but all money made goes back into the community to help local families, said Julie Stewart, a board member for Lord's Cupboard.
"The money we make there goes right back into the community — whether it's through voucher referrals or scholarships," she said. "It's all without government tax money — solely based on donations."
Low-income families can get free household goods and clothing if they have vouchers from area groups, such as the Interchurch Food Pantry, churches and the township trustee offices.
The shop gives away about $1,500 to $2,000 worth of merchandise through vouchers each month.
In November, the store moved from its former location on Johnson Avenue. The new location is in a more visible area off U.S. 31, and the store can also soon sell furniture when it opens up 800 more square feet of space in a neighboring section of the building.
Families with vouchers will also be able to get furniture items free of charge.
"Sometimes the Red Cross sends us fire victims and they need items, like a couch or a mattress," she said.
The shop sells everything from sewing supplies to kids clothing and toys to an array of other household goods. Stewart said the store has become a favorite place for antique shoppers to look for treasures as well. All items for sale are donated to the shop.

Oh, the joy felt by a child when soaring through the air on a sled, the wind...
FORT WAYNE, Ind. — Oh, the joy felt by a child when soaring through the air on a sled, the wind smacking already-rosy cheeks, the child screaming with delight at each bump and turn while mittened hands grip the sled's edge for dear life.
Most adults likely recall that fun as something every child should experience. I know I certainly did and have taken my children, and now my young grandchildren, sledding on hilly places. It's just good, clean fun.
But some sobering national statistics and local hospital data have given me pause. While I'm not trying to rain on your snowy parade, I hope parents, grandparents and kids will take some safety measures this winter before heading out for a slide on the sled.
According to the National Safety Council, about 33,000 sledding injuries are treated in hospital emergency rooms each year, plus 1,500 tobogganing injuries. Sledding injuries frequently result in closed head injuries and facial cuts.

In fact, according to Safe Kids USA, about 3,000 children a year incur serious head injuries in sledding accidents, which is why the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons recommends all children younger than 12 wear a helmet while sledding.
While sleds with metal runners may be thought to be more dangerous than the plastic or metal saucer-type sled, experts say sleds that can be easily steered are the safest.
"Never use homemade sleds," such as sheets of plastic or garbage-can lids, says Michele Kadenko-Monirian, a pediatric nurse at Parkview Hospital who tracks pediatric trauma data for the Fort Wayne, Ind., hospital's Level II trauma center.
Kids want to go fast, and the plastic sheet or metal disc that can be waxed or coated with spray oil to make it more slippery is a child's dream that can become a nightmare.
"A lot of the injuries are due to velocity," Kadenko-Monirian said, noting a high percentage of the more serious sledding accidents treated at Parkview's trauma center were pulled by ATVs or another vehicle.
Another safety issue is failure to scope out the sledding area.
"Location, location, location," is key, Kadenko-Monirian said, noting she recently observed some children sledding down a hill close to a ravine that sometimes holds water.
"There was no water in it right now," she said. But children often assume, if it's cold enough to have unmelted snow on the ground, holding ponds and lakes are safe to sled across.
Walk the sledding path before going down it. Rocks or other objects can be hidden by snow, she said.
Sledding in streets or down sloping driveways that end at the street should never be done. Youngsters may assume they can turn their discs or sleds before going out into the street. It's a dangerous assumption.
Don't give up sledding, though. Take the advice of Parkview trauma surgeon Dr. Mary Aaland: "I encourage people to stay active in the winter months and enjoy the activities that the season provides. However, Parkview's Trauma Center sees many injuries that could be avoided if safety precautions were taken. While sledding, always wear a helmet. Don't get pulled on a sled by any type of vehicle, and never sled in areas with trees or near busy streets."

Husque Bowl
Australian designer, Marc Harrison, makes a fine range of bowls and serving-ware from macadamia nut shells. The nut encasement is often discarded. Harrison combines an injection molding process with ground shells and a binding compound, to make these smooth Husque bowls. The interiors are bright and remind me of candy-coated chocolates.

How does Lasercap® LCPRO™ Work ?
In a nutshell, light therapy improves cellular respiration and function by stimulating the hair follicle cells. Better breathing cells, make for a better functioning hair follicle which, in turn, produces a happier, healthier hair!
Watch LaserCap® LCPRO™ on The Doctors Show with Famous Hair Surgeon Dr. Alan Bauman
- Thinning Hair Follicle Until recently this technology was only available through in-office devices, in hair clinics. With LaserCap LCPRO you can now take it home, making it a much more effective treatment.
- Under LLLT Treatment The initial step is to make an appointment with a LaserCap physician. The physician will make a hair assessment, and provide the LaserCap LCPRO and usage instructions. Typically the LaserCap LCPRO is worn 36 minutes every other day, with results starting to be noticeable in 12 weeks.
- Restored Folicle Follow-up doctor visits are highly recommended and important to monitor progress. LaserCap LCPRO can also be used with other treatments and shared with family.
