OKC Thunder: Thunder has learned how to come back and win games late
In his on-court interview with TNT immediately after the Thunder's thrilling three-point win over the Lakers on Saturday night, Russell Westbrook declared that he always knew his team would come back and win.
And why shouldn't he have been confident?
All postseason, Oklahoma City has closed out games in grand fashion. The Lakers, in Game 4, simply became the latest victim of the Thunder and its ability to storm back from a fourth-quarter deficit and secure a win.
That trait, not Westbrook's explosiveness or Kevin Durant's daggers or James Harden's surgeon-like precision in the pick-and-roll, has been the most impressive thing about the Thunder's playoff run thus far.
Oklahoma City is now all grown up.
The final five minutes of nearly every Thunder game this postseason has proved as much. Gone are the days when the Thunder would wind up on the wrong end of a blown lead. Now, it's the Thunder that is snatching victories from the jaws of defeat.
Four of the Thunder's seven playoff wins have come by three points or less. Another victory was decided by just six points. Of those five wins, the Thunder trailed by 13 points in the fourth quarter of two games, by seven in the fourth period of two others and by one with a minute remaining in the other.
The Thunder was the road team in both victories in which it trailed by 13 in the fourth quarter.
It's been quite the turnaround for a team that last year bowed out of the playoffs because it couldn't help but wither when put on the ropes. The Thunder's final two games against Dallas in the Western Conference Finals are the most telling of how far this team has come. In Games 4 and 5, the Mavs came back from fourth quarter deficits of 15 points and eight points, respectively.
But the Thunder is now emphatically showing how much it learned from last year.
"It helps when you have experience, and I think we have experience now," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. "(It's) not that three years ago we didn't have a chance, but we were learning how to win games.
After stunning the Staples Center crowd Saturday and taking a 3-1 series lead, the Thunder's first chance to close out the Lakers now comes in Game 5 on Monday night inside Chesapeake Energy Arena. The Thunder is 2-0 in the Oklahoma City era in closeout opportunities at home.
If anything, the Thunder's mounting experience and confidence suggests this series won't last much longer.
"It doesn't guarantee that we're going to win the next close game," Brooks said, "but it puts you in the position that we have something to fall back on … and say, 'OK, this is what we do in this situation.'

It's gonna be warm soon (we
swear believe) and that means shutting down your fabulous boots until next season. But don't—we repeat, don't—just throw 'em in the back of your closet! Instead, get Booty Shapers ($14), a set of inflatable boot supports which keep calf to knee length boots standing tall and prevent creasing and bending. This "why didn't they think of that sooner" accessory is also perfect for traveling with your must-take pair of "booties."

Type: Bug
Status: Closed
Priority: Minor
Resolution: Won't Fix
Affects Version/s: 1.9.8
Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: Database activity module, Usability
Firefox 3.6.3 on windows
(I assumed the version of Moodle running on moodle.org is the latest 1.9.)
Affected Branches:MOODLE_19_STABLE
(Note: if this is already fixed in 2.0, likely not worth it to fix it in 1.9 anymore. Sorry, hard to test it for me in 2.0 right now.)
Steps to reproduce:
1.Click the image at http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=26&rid=3764
Browser popup will appear asking what external treatment I want to give to the file.
There should be no link at all if the user is only going to get the same thumbnail image they are seeing already.
Checked with wget -S, the Content type for http://moodle.org/file.php/1/moddata/data/26/123/3764/verticalblend.jpg is:
Content-Type: application/x-forcedownload
Instead, it should be image/jpeg.
There is generally no reason to use application/x-forcedownload unless the user has explicitly asked to download the file. Otherwise, the standard and expected behavior is to display the image in the browser as-is. (Unless you have a viable scenario where forcing download is actually needed.)
I do not think so but might be a bug in the instance at moodle.org, but probably in Moodle.

Manjari Phadnis, best known for her girl-next-door performance in 2008 release "Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na", says that after donning a bikini for 3D underwater film "Warning" and being part of sex-comedy "Grand Masti", she has got rid of her inhibitions.
In Anubhav Sinha's debut production "Warning", the actress will mostly be seen wearing bikinis.
"I think I have lost all my inhibitions while working on 'Warning'. Doing two films - wearing a bikini in one, and doing a sex-comedy like 'Grand Masti', I think, now I have become very 'besharam' in life," the actress told reporters here Wednesday at the first look launch of "Warning".
Indra Kumar-directed "Grand Masti", a sequel to 2004 hit "Masti", will come out Sep 13, while director Gurmeet Singh's "Warning" is set to release Sep 27.

Muchos abrazos y lo mejor para ti.
Myspace Comments from 123mycodes.com
You are a Romantic Seme!
A true romantic, you're safest sticking with a partner who is gentle and can appreciate your mature, loving ways and protective nature. Most often found with a handful of roses and wine, you are committed to your partner and their happiness, which makes you a perfect match for the Innocent Uke, who you will dedicate yourself to and lavish with gifts and attention.
Most compatible with: Innocent Uke, Clueless Uke
Least compatible with: Badass Uke, Dramatic Uke
What seme or uke are you? Take the experience at SemeUke.com, or get seme/uke merch..
The first time I did this quiz, I was recently married and my cluelesness got me into a lot of trouble. I guess, married life really changes you... And I guess now I have to take control of things, and maybe I'm more "on top" of things than before. At least, I´m still compatible with my old, clueless self.
You Are a Mermaid
You are a total daydreamer, and people tend to think you're flakier than you actually are.
While your head is often in the clouds, you'll always come back to earth to help someone in need.
Beyond being a caring person, you are also very intelligent and rational.
You understand the connections of the universe better than almost anyone else.
Today I spent the day at home, and most of it looking for stuff in the internet... Some of said things, I would like to comment.
First: Obama wins the Nobel Prize...
I don't really feel free to give my opinion, but I do confess that lately I'd been following his steps, like a new hobby or sometihng... I guess he gets my attention because EVERYTHING that happens in the US has big repercussions over us, smaller and -oh so geographically close- Latin American countries. And because I like the way he talks... But I think is a good sign, I mean, with the other guy (former US president whose name I rather not write) I didn't even bother, mainly because reading about him only made me angry.
Second: Marge Simpson in the Playboy Cover...
How hilarious is this? It could be described as decadence? I mean, we are talking about the series that doesn't seems to have any kind of boundaries... Anyway, I'm soooo LMAO.
Third: James Marsters signed for another two movies of DragonBall...
Or so the gossip says. If it's true, it means that there's gonna be another two movies... Oh God, Dragonball Evolution was such a big disappointment. I mean, I never had high expectations, but... Oh God, oh God... It was terrible. I HATED it. Mostly, anyway. I couldn't hate it entirely because I'm sort of... hopelessly in love with James Marsters... (Sigh... time to confess.., I'm so embarrassed), and... I really like Chow Yun Fat. I guess I would watch the movie again just to see them, even when they are very serious and talented actors, and were completely wasted. Such a shame.
Anyway, I will wait... another two years... to see James as Piccolo again, with the hope of that this time they will give him enough decent scenes.

This is considered to be one of the best anti-ageing treatments that you can give your skin. Your face has many muscles, and like your shoulders or back, it gets tight and holds on to stress. It is important to help relax the muscles and connective tissue.
Massaging the face softens expression-induced lines around your eyes, lips and brows. It helps expel acne-causing toxins and de-puffs and brightens the eye area. Gentle, routine facial massage can help relax these tight and drawn muscles, decreasing the lines that they form. Facial massage heals by increasing circulation, it oxygenates the blood and encourages fresh, healing red blood cells to the area.
Facial massage uses circular motions, with light strokes around the nose, sinuses and cheekbones to release sinus congestion, and reduce puffiness, swelling and inflammation. Touch is known to increase the level of oxytocin, the hormone that makes us relax, which in our fast-paced modern lives is a necessary means to restoring balance in our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.

Everyone talks about what they think is the #1 killer on the road, texting and driving, but I disagree. The real killer on the road is eating Taco Bell and driving. Haven't you ever been cut off in traffic by that one guy, you know the one guy I'm talking about, the one you pull up next to to give the finger and yell, "I'M GOING TO HUNT YOUR WHOLE FAMILY WITH A CROSSBOW" only to find he's driving with his knees, eating a Nacho Bell Grande, dripping cheese sauce all over his chest, Dorito dust in his eyes, looks exactly like me. Well, because it is me. I'm the problem on the road. I constantly drive and eat Taco Bell. It should be an Olympic sport and I should get a medal for not murdering anyone or driving off a cliff. Heck, I'm driving, eating a Beefy 5-layer, slamming a MD Kickstarter, and posting this right now! For the silver!?! Drats! Lost to a guy drag racing down the street, arguing with his wife, reading a newspaper, and eating a bowl of cereal. Those damn Russians!!!
Burrito Bus
I eat at a lot of burrito buses around the city. It's how I get most of my nourishment these days. Eating burritos in the street made in a questionable at best food truck. I was at one in Clintonville recently and after placing my order a middle aged women approached me and asked, "Can I have a ride to Dublin?" I didn't know if she was actually asking for a ride or if this was an opening to pick up a prostitute. So naturally I said "Yes" but turns out I don't own a car so I ran away. Just kidding. I said ,"No" and she said "SORRY FOR ASKING!!" like I'm the lunatic going around asking possibly dangerous strangers for a ride to the other side of town. If you want to get stabbed in a car download the Uber app like everyone else! Just kidding. I murdered her
People are Bad at Their Jobs
I get it. Day jobs suck. You want to fulfill your dream of being a groupie and following "The Mountain Goats" around the country, miking money off your handmade Goat merchandise, but for now you're suck writing copy for local radio commercials. We've all been there. All I ask is you try to put at least 25% effort into your current soul sucking job. I literally heard a guy on the radio describing a new beer from Columbus Brewing say, " Oh and the aroma of this beer? Well, you can guess." Well fuck you too. I'm not sure you know how radios work but unless you throw some adjectives in there, yeah, that's all i can do is guess, sit in my car and assume your product smells like farts and old McDonald's that fell under the driver seat because that's what it smells like here, as I sit baffled, in my car.
Trapped On the Toilet
I will start off by saying before this happened I have never been locked in a bathroom having a panic attack unless a lot of drugs were involved. On this day though I deserved what I got. I was being the guy I hate at work. The guy that's hungover as hell and shitting up the bathroom. I was in for the long haul when I noticed next to me on the wall was a giant hairy spider. My mind raced as I tried not to scream. Everyone knows that even worse than being the guy at work that shits up the bathroom is they guy that screams while he does it. So I had to bite my lip. I figured maybe if I made no sudden movements he'd make no movement. I was wrong. The smell of me must of really riled this guy up as he started moving all around. His disgusting appendages flailing about. In a panic I decided to pull the ejection cord on this particular twosie. I got up and got the hell out of there. Before I exited I turned back for one final glance at my evictor to find him completely gone. Once again my mind raced as panic started to overtake me. Had he gotten in my pants somehow? Could he have crawled inside me some how? These are all questions I had to ask myself as I made my way back to my desk where I sat in cheek-clenched state of panic the rest of the day.
Now when this rare occasion rises once again I take the office vacuum into the bathroom with me. Not only will it suck up the monsters that dwell within but also cover up my panicked screams while I thwart these beasts. I'm pretty sure my coworkers don't think it's weird at all.
I Shave My Chest, Bro.
I shave my chest and no, I'm not proud of it. I don't do it for sexy reasons, because I'm a ripped bro at the gym, or even to make myself more aerodynamic for breaking land-speed records. I do it because I have weird chest hair. It's like my nips have eyebrows, very angry eyebrows. So I figure I have three options here with my body coverings. Run around looking like a weirdo with terrible chest hair, Shave it off and look like a cool chubby baby, or get a full torso tattoo of Spock's face. Obviously the latter is the coolest choice of all but a bit pricey. Imagine it though, instead of looking like a dummy while I strut around parties/men's locker rooms with my shirt off. I would be the coolest guy there, the guy with Leonard Nemoy on his chest, with actual fuzzy eyebrows you can pet, eyeballs that can cut glass, and a belly button that can talk but only says, "Live long, and don't put your finger in here!"

Fuck You! Love, Chicago
I recently got back from a trip to Chicago with my girlfriend. While it was super fine the big cit can be very confusing to a rube from Ohio like me. Apparently I can't even drive on a toll road correctly. There were spots to pull over and pay a toll every few miles or you could keep driving straight, so I thought what idiot is going to pull over and pay!?! I guess an idiot that doesn't want a $120 ticket in the mail 3 weeks after their trip. It was like a nice little reminder of our trip saying, "Hey, glad you came to stay. BTW you owe me money you country bumpkin.

The book's full subtitle tells it all: "An Inquiry into the Aesthetics of Distressed and Ambiguous Materials in Two Dimensions (Sometimes Aspiring to a Third), OR, I Love Found Abstraction." Reproductions of thirty-five abstract photographic images derived from weathered, decayed and effaced walls and other surfaces--images which reveal unusual and visually suggestive patterns and designs, as well as imply hidden realities. 35 images.
I began photographing in 1994, following many years as a Hindu monk, writer, and academic scholar. With no background in the visual arts, photography appeared serendipitously and soon absorbed my full attention. For me, the essence of photography is found in the pure pleasure of seeing: the experience of opening a more patient, contemplative, intuitive, imaginative eye to the world. It's about surrendering to the strange synergy between quiet receptivity and probing curiosity -- appreciating the "suchness" of things, while experiencing their complex resonances within personal consciousness. Moving about the world with a camera opens my eyes and mind to the beauty, strangeness, and mystery of it all, while crafting images in the darkroom provides a means for communicating my wonder and delight. My work can be found in many private collections. Most images in my books are available as original photographic (silver-gelatin) prints. Feel free to contact me via my website.

Several authors, including Michael Sandel, distinguish between two different attitudes toward nature: mastery and giftedness. Giftedness is the superior attitude, Sandel argues, because it better accords with the values of humility, responsibility, and solidarity. And giftedness, in combination with these values, provides a rational basis for opposing the employment of genetic enhancement. Against this, I argue that talents and genetic endowment are more plausibly viewed as undeserved, that not everything undeserved is a gift, and that even if talents and endowment were gifts, this would not support a prohibition against pursuing genetic enhancement.

text: LAKE FOREST, Ill. — The Chicago Bears believe they can get by without Jay Cutler. That theory might be tested this week.Coach Lovie Smith said Cutler is improving after sitting out the second half of Sunday's loss to Houston because of a concussion. Whether he'll be ready to play against San Francisco on Monday night is another issue, but they Jason Campbell is a solid backup.As for Cutler?"We're still evaluating him, he's meeting with people, medical staff, our trainers and all of that, but he's getting better," Smith said Wednesday. "We do have a little bit more time and that's always good."What wasn't good was that helmet-to-helmet late in the first half that hit Cutler took from Tim Dobbins, who was fined $30,000 by the league on Wednesday. The Bears believe that's when the concussion occurred.Cutler initially did not show any symptoms and took seven more snaps in the first half. It wasn't until halftime that the symptoms showed up, and the Bears pulled their quarterback at that point.The concussion wasn't the first for Cutler. He also missed a game after being sacked nine times in the first half of a loss at the New York Giants in October 2010. But Smith said he isn't worried about this becoming a recurring issue with his quarterback."I just worry about the one he had the other night," Smith said. "I can't look into the future or anything like that. Every case is different. Jay's feeling a whole lot better. It'll all play out."The Bears will start practicing this week on Thursday, and if Cutler isn't ready to play against the 49ers, they figure to go with Campbell. They also brought in veteran Josh McCown this week as a backup.With Campbell in the mix after signing in the offseason, the Bears believe they can at least avoid the meltdown that came after Cutler's season-ending injury a year ago and ultimately cost general manager Jerry Angelo his job.You know how that went.The Bears were putting the finishing touches on a win over San Diego to go to 7-3 and were eyeing a playoff run when Cutler broke his right thumb. They went into a free fall with Caleb Hanie at QB and missed the postseason at 8-8.They don't see that happening if they have to go with Campbell. After all, he has started 70 games in his career and completed more than 60 percent of his passes."He's comfortable in the pocket, comfortable calling the plays," center Roberto Garza said. "Look at his track record. That speaks for itself. There's a reason why he's here, and there's a reason why he's in the situation he's in."A broken collarbone limited him to six games in 2011 with Oakland. The Raiders traded for Carson Palmer, then let Campbell leave after the season."He probably should be starting somewhere," Garza said. "He's that type of player. Unfortunately, we're in this situation, but he's gonna step in there."Campbell threw for 94 yards in the second half last week, completing 11 of 19 passes. One was a neat 45-yarder to Brandon Marshall with Jonathan Joseph draped over his receiver, but the Bears will need more from him — and the rest of the offense whether Cutler plays or not.Chicago managed just two field goals against the Texans and got little from Matt Forte, who carried 16 times for 39 yards."It comes down to all of us playing a lot better than we did this past weekend," Garza said. "We have to get better and we will get better."But he insisted teammates believe in Campbell. So did right tackle Gabe Carimi."I haven't noticed anything that would indicate that he would not be able to command the huddle," Carimi said.Notes: Smith acknowledged the Bears had some punters in for a look on Wednesday, with Adam Podlesh struggling. Podlesh, 30th in the league at 41.7 yards per punt, was bothered by a hip pointer earlier this season, but Smith insisted his health wasn't a factor in the Bears looking for help. "We had punters in today because normally, just about every week, there's someone we're looking at, always trying to improve our team and see what's out there," Smith said. "Today was the punters' day. Podlesh has played well for us throughout. None of us played as well as we needed to the last game."

Yo Ho Yo Ho!!!
For my pirate movie night tonight I made these, spiced rum and chocolate cupcakes with carmel cream frosting.
For the cake, I used the recipe here
I didn't make the glaze the in the recipe, and I used chocolate pudding instead of banana.
The frosting is made like you would make cream cheese frosting, but I used BelGioioso Dolce Mascarpone instead of cream cheese. (I cant seem to find a link to the Dolce.... I hope that I didn't buy what will be the last batch.... :-( )
I also made Coconut cupcakes using Alton Brown's recipe on foodnetwork.com.
(but no... I didn't shuck and grate and juice my own coconuts... I don't have that kind of time)

Book Description
"Few match Francis for dangerous flights of fancy and pure, inventive menace."
Roland Britten, accountant and champion steeplechase jockey, wakes in darkness with his hands tied. He has no idea where he is or what is happening, and still he manages an escape -- until he is recaptured, and the deadly cat and mouse game proceeds....
Reader Reviews
Accountant to the rescue, July 24, 2003 Reviewer: William Tennison from Charlotte, NC Dick Francis brings in a different kind of hero, an accountant! The story is very enjoyable. This novel differs from some of his others in that the hero actually has a sex life. While, I would highly recommend this book, Francis does throw out a number of easy clues to figure out the true villian in the story. --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition

The suspect, Husam al-Qawasmi, allegedly led a three-man cell with Hamas affiliation that Israeli prosecutors say kidnapped and murdered the teens
Hamas' actions clearly constitutes crimes against humanity. It must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law
Graphic: From rocket counts to death tolls, here's a look at how Operation Protective Edge compares with recent past Israel-Palestinian conflicts
The directive is named after Hannibal, the Carthaginian general who poisoned himself rather than be taken prisoner by the Romans
U.S. President Barack Obama called the abduction 'barbaric' and Secretary of State John Kerry demanded that Hamas 'unconditionally release' the soldier
Aides said Kerry made more than 100 calls over the last 10 days, including several dozen on Thursday alone, to broker the agreement that he failed to reach a week ago
Jerusalem's mayor, Nir Barkat, thanked Canadians for standing up for Israel as a bipartisan delegation of six Canadian lawmakers toured the country
Hamas commanders continue to use Palestinian men, women and children as human shields — or, as they prefer, 'martyrs'
In Israel, Jews aren't afraid to read the denunciations of Zionism quoted and analysed in my book. Not so in Canada
The Israeli command believes it has also inflicted heavy losses on Hamas's Al-Qassam Brigades, but the full extent is not yet known

Democratic candidate for governor Beverly Perdue had $1.4 million in her campaign coffers entering the third quarter of this year.
The lieutenant governor released her campaign finances Thursday,
covering the final weeks before her May 6 primary with State
Treasurer Richard Moore, through June 30. Candidates had to file or
mail their reports to the State Board of Elections before midnight
Perdue's campaign report says she raised $2.3 million during the
filing period. For the entire election cycle dating back to 2005,
Perdue has raised $10.7 million.
Perdue's Republican competitor -- Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory --
had not released his report as of Thursday evening.

I registered for it... This would be my first official/unofficial century.
Quick background: I got in cycling about a year and half ago after leading sedentary life style for a decade+. Prior, I was very athletic but time took it's toll with bad habits such as smoking, overeating, etc. (Stopped smoking 4 years ago).
This is my first actual goal for training (other than saying... to get better, improve power by certain %, etc). I am starting to gather information on where I stand now and hoping that I am not too far off from my goal:
Be able to ride Breathless Agony within designated time all the way up~~~.
Here are currently what I can do and have been doing.
1. I do ride daily bases with my 30+ miles commute. Do semi structured training concentrating on base fitness at this point (no group ride, race, etc... just not willing to commit the time at this point until my kids grow older). Each day it is 1500-2000ft climbing depending on route. Been doing this for a little over a year now.
2. When my leg is fine on Saturday and it is for endurance ride, I would either do quick 2 hour ride with 3000ft or so climb or 3.5 hour ride (62 miles) with almost no climbing. I definitely could do more but not willing to spend more time at this point. (Time constraints)
3. I went out today for VO2 Max (about 114% of Threshold Power) ride on near by hill... I only had about 2 hours available today and wanted to get as much climb to see what I can do today.
(9% grade average for the section I can ride for 5 minute straight... more than that for my speed now but I turned around for rest period in middle) Did 10 repeat with 5 minute up and 3 minute rest ride (down+ looping around) and 15 minute warm up and 20 minute cool down. That was about 3500ft of climbing in 1.5 hours. I think I could have gone more repeats, maybe 4-5 more before the exercise was going to turn into anaerobic.
At this point, I am wondering what should I really look into testing and improving. My gut feeling tells me I probably need to test out how far I can STEADILY climb at threshold power/tempo/endurance. Or should I just spend the time on concentrating on building more base at this point?
Thanks for the people who read through and any comments would be appreciated!

How to Paint over Peeling Latex Paint
Peeling paint can often be a very common paint problem. It can be caused my poor adhesion or moisture.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Eliminate as much peeling as you can by using your scrubber, soap and water. Go over it once to get all the flakes off.
2Use a putty knife to scrape off big chunks of peeling paint. If you are peeling paint from metal, vinyl or wood use a metal putty knife.
3Smooth stubborn paint by using 80 grit sandpaper.
4Coat bare exposed wood with a 4 inch (10.2 cm) synthetic paintbrush.
5Using a clean brush, paint the prepared surface with latex paint.

Currently I get a classification problem with two classes. what I want to do is that given a bunch of candidates, find out who will more likely to be the class 1. The problem is that class 1 is very rare (around 1%), which I guess makes my prediction quite inaccurate. For training the dataset, can I sample half class 1 and half class 0? This will change the prior distribution, but I don't know whether the prior distribution affects the classification results?
Indeed, a very imbalanced dataset can cause problems in classification. Because by defaulting to the majority class 0, you can get your error rate already very low.
There are some workarounds that may or may not work for your particular problem, such as giving equal weight to the two classes (thus weighting instances from the rare class stronger), oversampling the rare class (i.e. learning each instance multiple times), producing slight variations of the rare objects to restore balance etc. SMOTE and so on.
You really should to grab some classification or machine learning book, and check the index for "imbalanced classification" or "unbalanced classification". If the book is any good, it will discuss this problem. (I just assume you did not know the term that they use.)
If you're forced to pick exactly one from a group, then the prior distribution over classes won't matter because it will be constant for all members of that group. If you must look at each in turn and make an independent decision as to whether they're class one or class two, the prior will potentially change the decision, depending on which method you choose to do the classification. I would suggest you get hold of as many examples of the rare class as possible, but beware that feeding a 50-50 split to a classifier as training blindly may make it implicitly fit a model that assumes this is the distribution at test time.
Sampling your two classes evenly doesn't change assumed priors unless your classification algorithm computes (and uses) priors based on the training data. You stated that your problem is "given a bunch of candidates, find out who will more likely to be the class 1". I read this to mean that you want to determine which observation is most likely to belong to class 1. To do this, you want to pick the observation $x_i$ that maximizes $p(c_1|x_i)$. Using Bayes' theorem, this becomes:
$$ p(c_1|x_i)=\frac{p(x_i|c_1)p(c_1)}{p(x_i)} $$
You can ignore $p(c_1)$ in the equation above since it is a constant. However, computing the denominator will still involve using prior probabilities. Since your problem is really more of a target detection problem than a classification problem, an alternate approach for detecting low probability targets is to take the likelihood ratio of the two classes:
$$ \Lambda=\frac{p(x_i|c_1)}{p(x_i|c_0)} $$
To pick which of your candidates is most likely to belong to class 1, pick the one with the highest value of $\Lambda$. If your two classes are described by multivariate Gaussian distributions, you can replace $\Lambda$ with its natural logarithm, resulting in a simpler quadratic detector. If you further assume that the target and background have the same covariance matrices, this results in a linear discriminant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_discriminant_analysis).
You may want to consider Bayesian utility theory to re-weight the costs of different kinds of error to get away from the problem of the priors dominating the decision.
Let A be the 99% prior probability class, B be the 1% class.
If we just say that all errors incur the same cost (negative utility), then it's possible that the optimal decision approach is to always declare "A". Many classification algorithms (implicitly) assume this.
If instead, we declare that the cost of declaring "B" when, in fact, the instance was "A" is much bigger than the cost of the opposite error, then the decision logic becomes, in a sense, more sensitive to slighter differences in the features.
This kind of situation frequently comes up in fault detection -- faults in the monitored system will be rare, but you want to be sure that if we see any data that points to an error condition, action needs to be taken (even if it is just reviewing the data).

The TimingAnalyzer (TA)¶
Using the TimingAnalyzer, you can quickly draw timing diagrams, build libraries of timing diagrams, and perform timing analysis on logic designs. Using the built-in timing analysis functions, reported setup and hold violations indicate logic design problems.
You can draw timing diagrams using the GUI or Python scripts. They can also be created automatically from simulation results saved in VCD files. There are application notes included in the documentation that describe how to create Verilog or VHDL monitors that automatically generate timing diagrams.
The TA has been designed with focus on timing analysis and is much more than just a simple drawing program. Refer to the complete list of features listed on the features page.
Future Plans¶
Recent poll results indicate there is a small demand for both drawing timing diagrams and performing timing analysis using both the GUI and Python scripts.
No definite conclusions have been reached from the poll results but the list below shows new features and improvements being considered.
- true logic simulation ( simulate then edit )
- improved undo/redo command manager in Python
- internal data structures converted to C++

Five-time Olympic medalist Apolo Ohno of Seattle returned to international competition Friday and won the 1,500 meters at the World Short...
MILAN, Italy — Five-time Olympic medalist Apolo Ohno of Seattle returned to international competition Friday and won the 1,500 meters at the World Short Track Speedskating Championships.
Song Kyung-taek of South Korea crossed the finish line first in the 1,500 final, but was disqualified for blocking a passing attempt by Ohno near the end of the race. Ohno's winning time was 2 minutes, 33.793 seconds.
Ohno, 24, won the gold medal in the 500 meters at last year's Turin Olympics and earned gold in the 1,500 in the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City. He won gold medals in the 1,000 and 3,000 at the 2005 worlds in Beijing.
Ohno took time off after the Turin Games and resurfaced at this year's U.S. championships. He earned his eighth national title in the event in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, that ended Feb. 25. Ohno ranked first in every category at nationals.

"We have received so many compliments on our sons birth announcement. We love this layout. Perfect amount of space for the picture we chose and lovely font for all of the birth information. The cards came very quickly in the mail and were great quality! Thanks for the perfect birth announcement."
"Perfect layout to showcase several pictures of my new arrival. A lovely alternative to traditional all pink baby girl announcements."
"The photo quality on the cards was excellent, and the design just beautiful. It's a shame to have to post them! The cards were delivered very quickly, too."
"My favorite color growing up was purple so I was looking for a baby announcement for my little girl that was purple. There aren't many out there right now and the ones I found didn't fit my style… until I found this one! It is a beautiful card. I love the pink and purple and the script writing and including the first initial of the baby's name. I received MANY compliments on my baby girl's announcement!"
"I wanted a simple, beautiful announcement and that is just what I got. I am so pleased. Really love that you can choose from a variety of formats for the back of the card and adjust the font size and style to fit what you are writing. The weight of the paper is nice. The design process was very easy. Just mailed the cards out two days ago and have already received compliments."

Sports, survival and weird news stories define 2011
Somewhere between the guy in diapers, the naked lady on a golf course and the Big XII drama, 2011 got weird. I think it's best that this year is wrapping up.
In sports, the Big XII had more drama than a fifth-grader's slumber party. Everyone blamed Texas. (She's such a diva.) Mizzou called her mom to pick her up early. Suddenly everybody wished they'd accepted an invitation to the PAC-10's sleepover. Her parents had a pool.
Oklahoma State unveiled new uniforms and a new hope of playing for the national championship. At least they have cool uniforms. Oklahoma lost to Texas Tech. I'm not sure what happened after that.
The Oklahoma City Thunder made us believe as they took us to the conference finals.
The Thunder said hello to Kendrick Perkins, who apparently says hello by making the world's meanest sneer. Perkins loves pummeling Pau Gasol, getting technical fouls and long walks on the beach. I'm so glad he's here, but he doesn't replace my favorite player, James Harden, who still hasn't called me to hang out.
This year had its share of heartache.
The University of Oklahoma family lost Austin Box to a drug overdose. Carina Saunders was identified as the woman found in a duffel bag in Bethany. Investigators are chipping away at the case. My husband and I lost one of our friends, Sarah Soles, an attorney from Norman.
Tornadoes killed several Oklahomans, and our hearts broke when Ryan Hamil, 3, was found two days after the Piedmont storm. I hugged my own baby tighter and prayed for the Hamils.
But this also was a year of survival.
Oklahoma City officer Chad Peery was paralyzed after he was beaten within an inch of his life while off duty. Maj. John Waldenville of the Oklahoma County sheriff's office survived being shot in the head during a failed robbery. Both officers are recovering.
The pharmacy shooting saga came to a close. Pharmacist Jerome Ersland was convicted of murder for shooting would-be robber Antwun Parker, 16, in 2009.
Parker's accomplices — Emanuel Mitchell and Anthony Morrison — also were convicted of murder. Mitchell retaliated in the courtroom by punching Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater in the face.
After the scuffle, Prater left the courthouse, and Mitchell still had to go to prison. I'll take a punch in the face over prison any day. (I'm not offering to let you punch me in the face, so cool it.)
Weirdness all around
Criminals were really weird this year.
There was the guy who was sent to prison for three years for conning a couple of women into caring for him as if he were a baby wearing diapers. Police arrested a couple of Taco Bell employees who were accused of being drunk at work.
This year was a tough one for cleanliness. An Oklahoma City man was arrested for mowing his lawn. An Oklahoma City woman was cited for excessive noise after neighbors complained she was vacuuming too late at night. I'm going to cite these cases whenever I don't feel like tidying up. "Better not clean. Don't want to go to jail."
Criminals aside, regular people were kind of weird, too. A woman spent most of one of her Saturday afternoons naked as she volunteered at a charity golf tournament. What better way to serve the community than to go nude?
I don't want to tell other people how to live their lives, but I did plenty of volunteering this year. All of it involved me wearing clothing.
I expect my volunteer gigs in 2012 will also involve clothing. Fingers crossed. Nothing could be weirder than 2011.

So Overwhelmed with venue locations!
Re: So Overwhelmed with venue locations!
posted at 11/23/2009 12:04 PM ESTHi NYC521,
I'm glad you love the State Room, but just a word of caution. I feel like I have seen a lot of brides having issues with working with them. I can't remember if it was here or on the Knot's Boston board. Before you book with them, you might want to start a post asking for other bride's experiences with them. Not saying you shoudln't book them if you love them, but just so you know ahead of time just in case!
Good luck!

[QUOTE]I am having my wedding at Belle Mer which is owned by the same company as the State Room (Longwood Events) and I did look at the State Room.
Hi Summer - I see you are going with a Longwood property for your wedding, how are you finding the process so far?
Re: So Overwhelmed with venue locations!
posted at 11/23/2009 8:36 PM ESTtrex, it was both boards. I've heard nothing but trouble about the State Room.
Re: So Overwhelmed with venue locations!
posted at 11/23/2009 9:14 PM ESTI've heard so many bad things about Longwoods Events, that I would be scared of booking with them, just my 2 cents. Don't know about Belle Mer, but I have heard not-so-good things about The State Room. My friend had her wedding there, and after the amount of money she spent, she was floored at the service she did not receive.
Re: So Overwhelmed with venue locations!
posted at 11/23/2009 10:48 PM ESTI have had no issues with Belle Mer. They have been great so far. I made sure that every concern of mine was covered in my contract. I think that many of the problems come from this place when people don't read the contract and/or ask the right questions. If I felt something was vague I made sure it was addressed in the contract.
I was nervous about menu costs since they don't have set menus. I was afraid to wait until 30 days before the wedding to get pricing for my menu because what happens if their prices have gone up 30%? So, I put together a tentative menu and they included a maximum price that menu could be at the time of my wedding. This menu is included as a schedule to my contract and it gave me a lot of comfort knowing that i had that to fall back on. The menu I put together had three entree choices, including filet, passed hors d'oeuvres, a food station during cocktail hour, a salad and my cake for a price of $111/person today and a max of $120 at the time of my wedding. Open bar is $45/person.
Defintely try and negotiate with them on the room rental fee. I was only able to get $1,000 off but my date is a holiday weekend so there wasn't as much wiggle room but hey, $1000 is something.
Know that if you book a vendor through them and it counts towards your minimum, they will mark up the price by 30%. They will do all the work, pay the deposits, feed the vendor, tip the vendor, etc. but it is something to keep in mind. Ask them to waive several vendor fees or to knock it down to $250. Mine is $250 and I got one vendor fee waived.
I have heard nothing but positive reviews about the actual "day of" the wedding. I know that some people have some problems with the coordinators leading up to the event though. I guess it depends what your personality type is. I'm not a bridezilla nor do I require handholding. They have been there when I have had questions and it is very obvious they are want to please their clients.
let me know if you have any other questions!
Re: So Overwhelmed with venue locations!
posted at 11/28/2009 6:26 PM ESTIn Response to Re: So Overwhelmed with venue locations!:Hi everyone! This is such a helpful thread to me--I'm also planning a 200-person-ish wedding in the downtown area. We've just gotten started and whoa is this process overwhelming! Any experiences with the Boston Public Library (gorgeous! http://bpl.org/central/eventspaces.htm ), the Artists for Humanity Epicenter ( http://www.afhboston.com/afh_venue.html ), the House of Blues, or the Renaissance Waterfront? We're aiming for a Saturday night in January 2011 and hoping that the January factor might help lower our costs, but I'm a little in shock over how much $$$ we're going to be shelling out for this.
Posted by nibsfeld
Hi Nibbs, we got married at BPL in Sept. 2008. You can see our wedding in this issue of Boston Weddings :). BPLs absolutely amazing and we had a wonderful experience there! BPL is very, very expensive. To get access to most of the library (Bates Hall, the galleries, Abbey Room, etc.) it is $22,500. I know some of the other rooms are a bit less expensive (like the modern reading room), but I don't think any will be under $15,000. That's just for the venue, doesn't include any food or anything. If you can swing it, it is just a wonderful place to get married!

Don't forget to talk to the Ritz about the complimentary 5 night honeymoon...they'd been selling it as only if you booked a 'full price' wedding, but when it came down to it and we were really interested but weren't quite sure, they gave us the honeymoon too...can't beat that.

Hi !
A while ago I bought Win Vista Ultimate retail pack. It came with a 32 bit
version of the OS and the 64 bit version as well. Only one key.
I have already installed the 32 bit version & used the license key.
What if later, after I upgrade my computer with a 64 bit processor & so on,
I want to reinstall Vista & decide to put the 64 bit version ? Am I allowed
to use the same license key ? If not, why did the retail box came the 64 bit
version too ?

Overnight Sentiment: Greek Euphoria

After starting the overnight trading at its lows, the EURUSD has once again seen the now traditional overnight levitation, this time with absolutely no economic news, in the process raising equity futures across the Atlantic, even as unfounded Chinese optimism for more liquidity has waned leading to the SHCOMP closing down 0.3%. Perhaps the most notable event in the quiet trading session so far has been the surge in 10 year Greek debt whose yield has tumbled to post-restructuring lows, driven by more and more hedge funds piling in to piggyback on Dan Loeb's recent public GGB purchase announcement (strength into which he has long since sold), and hopes that Greece will somehow see an Official Sector Initiative (OSI) to make recovery prospects for Private Investors more attractive: a capital impairment the ECB has said would happen only over its dead body. But in the new normal, facts and rules are for chumps, and only exist to be broken. More on this amusing stupidity here. Amusingly, this comes just as Greece's Staikouras says the economy's downward spiral is not over yet. But, again, who cares about fundamentals.
In other news, U.K. house prices rose 3.5 percent in October on average from the previous month to 243,168 pounds ($390,431), said Rightmove. Asking prices for homes in London surged 4.8 percent to a record 478,071 pounds, as values in the borough of Kensington and Chelsea rose 9.1 percent to an average 2.2 million pounds, all driven entirely by continuing money laundering of other European and petrodollar money in UK real estate, as is the case in NY. Elsewhere, Czech producer prices increased 1.7
percent annually in September, after gaining 1.9 percent the prior month. Economists forecast a 2 percent increase. Turkey's unemployment rate rose to 8.4 percent in July from 8 percent in June: perhaps it is time to hire more reservists for that inevitable confrontation with the southern neighbor.
Some FX technicals from SocGen:
EUR/USD 1.2891-1.2962 overnight range. Minor setback in Asia as spot reverses three days of gains. US retail sales and Empire survey will be key for sentiment today. Key support level unchanged from last week around 1.2825, the 200d ma.
USD/JPY 78.27-78.62 overnight range. Rally continues for a fifth successive day as spot rises above 78.60. Last week's statement by Maehara leaves an impression even though the UST/JGB 2y spread has not moved (15bp). Resistance 78.76.
GBP/USD 1.6021-1.6083 overnight range. Still flirting with 1.60 as bullish momentum faded on Friday close to 1.61. Support 1.60 and 1.5957/77 below. Rightmove house prices up 3.5% in Oct. PPI/CPI data due tomorrow, employment Wednesday.
AUD/USD 1.0202-1.0270 overnight range. Struggling to recovere after dovish RBA's Stevens comments at the end of last week. A close above 1.0272 is required to stem selling pressure short-term. Watch US stocks, retail sales today.
What to look forward to:
Friday's report of a five-year high for the Michigan consumer confidence survey hardly registered in currencies, but caused volatility to slip back towards the September lows. EUR/USD vol is flirting with all-time lows and USD/JPY has hardly budged, following the jawboning by government officials to weaken the yen. Conviction levels on the whole are low, and though positioning favours a small risk-on move, it is unclear what will break the deadlock. It was pointed out to us that the Dow has not had a down day of 1% (or more) since late June, a sequence that will lead the Fed to draw some comfort that its policies are working. High frequency data are flashing a decent end to Q3 and one must hope that confidence will spill over to Q4. The stronger consumer barometer will hopefully also be translated into solid retail sales data this afternoon. For the EU, the Council summit later this week will be key, but as is usually the case with these summits, it is doubtful that significant progress will be made. Topics ranging from deeper fiscal integration to a banking union will be discussed, but one must hope that the talks will not be hijacked by the situation in Greece or Spain. The IMF pressed the EU last week to give Greece more time to meet its deficit goals, but with the hostility towards more lenient terms high in AAA member countries, there could be some controversy if no common position is found to keep Greece from running out of cash. There was talk of progress on Friday, which is encouraging, but there is a history of talks breaking off. How discussions over Spain and Greece evolve will be particularly relevant for the EUR, in a week that sees heavy debt supply from Spain on Thursday, but also Germany and France. Italy will make roughly EUR18.3bn in bond payments starting today.
And a comprehensive summary from Deutsche Bank:
Turning to markets Asian equities are generally lower overnight as we type. Sentiment is seemingly affected by further drop in Chinese producer prices but in reality the negative US lead from Friday is also not helping. Chinese PPI came largely in line with expectations (-3.6% v -3.5% yoy) but also marked the seventh consecutive month of declines. Chinese CPI (-1.9% yoy) came in line with market consensus. All eyes will be on the China's Q3 GDP report on Thursday along with the rest of the monthly data dump (FAI, IP and retail sales). Markets wise, the Shanghai Composite (-0.5%) is also not helped by some weaker earnings report overnight. Elsewhere in the region the Hang Seng and the KOSPI are down -0.1% and -0.4$ respectively. Credit spreads are little changed with new issues still the main theme in Asia. Copper (-0.3%) and Brent (-0.5%) are softer overnight.
Despite the weaker market sentiment overnight, China's latest trade figures over the weekend were actually better-than-expected. Export growth (+9.9% yoy) in September was twice as much as market estimates (+5.5%) and also up sharply from August (+2.7%). By destination, exports to EU were down -11% yoy, but exports to the US and ASEAN were up 5.5% and 25% yoy, respectively. Imports growth (+2.4% yoy) in September were in line with market. All in all this leaves trade surplus for the month at $27.67bn versus the $20.54bn expected by the market. Jun Ma notes that the export recovery has helped limit the downside risk to the IP report on Thursday. New RMB loans in September were weak and moderately below consensus (RMB623bn vs RMB700bn) though. Jun Ma sees the current pace of new loans to be consistent with a modest recovery in GDP growth to 7.7%yoy in Q4, up from an expected 7.4% in Q3.
Briefly recapping Friday's market, the S&P 500 (-0.30%) closed at the session's lows to post its worst weekly performance (-2.1%) since mid-May 2012. US data flow was largely supportive as we saw the highest UofM confidence sentiment since Q3 2007 (83.1 after a +4.8pt rise) as well as a lower than expected core PPI print. JPMorgan and Wells Fargo reported better than expected headline earnings for Q3 but these were overshadowed by net interest margin pressure across both banks and sluggish loan growth. JPM's and Wells' shares finished the -1.14% and -2.64% lower on Friday. Bank results aside there was an IFR headline stating that the "ESM lacks cash for Spanish bailout". The article suggested that the ESM may not be able to fund a Spanish request for aid before the end of 2012 as it only has EUR32bn in paid-up capital and may not visit bond markets this year. EU officials played down the report noting that the ESM could tap markets this year if it wanted to.
Previewing the list of key US results this week we have a total of 84 S&P 500 firms lined up for Q3 reporting. Financials will remain a key focus but we will also start to see some important industrial names. Citigroup reports today (1pm London) followed by Goldman Sachs (Tuesday), BofA and American Express (Wednesday) and Morgan Stanley (Thursday). Away from Financials, IBM, Intel, Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson, eBay, Google and Microsoft are expected to report sometime this week ahead of bell-weather General Electric's results on Friday.
In terms of data, we have a relatively eventful week in the US with key consumer, manufacturing activity, housing and inflation data due over the next 5 days. Empire manufacturing, retail sales and business inventories will be out later today. Tomorrow's focus will be CPI, Industrial Production and the NAHB Housing Market Index. We then get Housing Starts and Building Permits on Wednesday; the Philly Fed index on Thursday followed by Existing Home Sales on Friday. In Europe, trade data for the region will be released throughout the week. The immediate focus will probably be the German ZEW survey tomorrow. We also get Euroland and UK CPI tomorrow and Italian industrial orders on Friday.
Bond auction wise Spain will tap 2015, 2016 and 2022 maturities on Thursday following a bills auction tomorrow. There is also a Portugal bills auction on Wednesday. On the political calendar, we have the second of the three US Presidential debates tomorrow with a focus being on foreign policy. In Europe all eyes will be on the EU summit as mentioned above and the regional elections in Spain's Basque Country and Rajoy's home region of Galicia this coming Sunday (21st).

Germans plunge Europe into a new Medieval Era.
Are they ready to take that risk ?
It was Germany that took huge loans from the American FED. It was Germany that put the markets up to buying ownership shares of the European Central Bank, which has burdened the States with sins. It was this State that lured the rest of the Europeans into a dissolute life so that it can pass the burden of its debts, hence its own sin to them. The current epidemic of debt crisis has begun from Germany, it is just that it kept its disease a secret and at the expense of everybody else, and now that it is in a better shape, it has gone hunting in order to take advantage of the disease it itself had created. The first State to have sickened has gone hunting for the one who was most weak in dealing with the disease, and that was Greece. If Germany had not been over-indebted, the European states would have never been vulnerable to the markets' attacks. If Germany had not been over-indebted the European states would have never been forced to mortgage their existence so that Germany's bosses can get their money.
