Jeopardy Productions, Inc., Associated Press
NEW YORK — When he was mowing down opponents en route to a record of 74 wins in a row on the game show "Jeopardy!" Ken Jennings often seemed more machine than man.
Now television viewers can see him going up against a real machine.
On Monday, "Jeopardy!" will begin airing two matches spread over three days between Jennings, Brad Rutter (the show's all-time money-winner with $3.25 million) and a computer named Watson developed by IBM scientists.
The scientists hope Watson, named for IBM founder Thomas J. Watson, is more than just a game-show curiosity. They see it as a real advance in the field of artificial intelligence with potential implications for business and medicine over the years to come.
They began developing Watson in 2005, about the same time Jennings was making his record run.
The challenge was to develop something more advanced than Deep Blue, another IBM machine that defeated chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997. Watson required more nuance, the ability to understand puns and word games that are often part of the "Jeopardy!" experience.
Jennings, a former programmer who knows the limitations of computers, questioned whether the scientists would succeed.
"I was dubious," he said. "Some of that is ego. We don't like to think that our own particular niches or talents can be taken by a computer."
Watson had to take the same test that prospective human "Jeopardy!" contestants face, said Harry Friedman, the show's veteran executive producer. It passed. During fine-tuning, Watson participated in about 100 dry-run games with past "Jeopardy!" champions and won the majority of them, he said.
"When IBM came to us three and a half years ago, there was a process through which we began to understand the importance of the technology that they were developing," Friedman said. "That's what we found attractive — to be part of something that is a game-changer."
He asked IBM to help prepare material explaining Watson's development and the practical implications of the technology, which will be featured on the broadcasts next week.
There's already a book written about it — "Final Jeopardy: Man vs. Machine and the Quest to Know Everything" by Stephen Baker — ready to come out shortly after the broadcasts are aired. Everyone is trying to keep the secret of who won, to build interest in the shows.
"Going in I felt a little intimidated," Jennings said. "I felt like an underdog. I knew that this was an opponent who could not be intimidated."
During his record run, Jennings saw opponents who were psyched out even before going on stage with him because they had heard about his winning streak.
That certainly wasn't a problem with Watson, which is represented onstage with a plasma screen and artificial voice.
"Not only does it not care about my resume or Brad's, it can't get discouraged if it gets one wrong," he said. "It can't get cocky if it gets one right. It always makes the best possible play at every single point. There was no consideration for ego or psyche."
It was like playing against someone with the best conceivable reflexes, he said.
"I frankly thought it wouldn't happen," he said. "Once I saw Watson compete at a high level, I was very impressed. This is not just a little incremental step. This is a huge breakthrough."

Company Revises Guidance for Its Fiscal Third Quarter
AMSC (Nasdaq:AMSC), a global solutions provider serving wind and grid leaders, today announced that it has reduced its workforce by approximately 25 percent and is consolidating office space to lower operating costs and enhance liquidity in response to challenging conditions in the wind power market. Reductions have been made across all of AMSC's major geographic locations and functions. The company now has a global workforce of approximately 340 employees.
"While the long-term prospects for renewable energy remain bright, conditions in the sector today are challenging," said AMSC President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel P. McGahn. "Financing and cash flow among wind farm developers and wind turbine manufacturers have been constrained, which has impacted growth plans for some of our Windtec™ Solutions partners. Given this environment, we made the difficult but prudent decision to reduce our workforce in order to weather the industry downturn and minimize our cash usage."
AMSC expects that today's action will reduce its annualized expenditures by approximately $10 million and will lower its annualized operating expenses, which include non-cash compensation costs, to less than $58 million once the savings are fully realized in the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2013. In total, AMSC anticipates that it will incur restructuring charges of approximately $3 to $4 million over the next two quarters relating to the workforce reduction and office consolidations. Of this total, the company expects to pay approximately $2 million in cash severance costs in the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2012.
The company has revised its financial forecast for the third fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2012 as a result of anticipated wind turbine electrical control system shipment delays to certain of its Windtec Solutions partners. AMSC now expects that its revenues will exceed $20 million for the quarter. AMSC now expects that its net loss for the third quarter will be less than $24 million, or $0.46 per share. This guidance includes the aforementioned restructuring charges but assumes no impact from mark-to-market adjustments related to the derivative liability and warrants. AMSC expects that its non-GAAP (as defined below) net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 will be less than $16 million, or $0.31 per share. Please refer to the financial table below for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP guidance.
As previously announced, AMSC expects to reduce its balance of restricted cash in the third fiscal quarter by paying or settling the majority of its remaining liabilities for adverse purchase commitments, which amounted to approximately $12 million as of September 30, 2012. Factoring in these expected payments and settlements as well as cash-related severance costs, AMSC now expects to have more than $48 million in cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash on December 31, 2012.

We have an interesting mix of deals for you this week, starting with something you might expect: an SSD. 120GB versions of Intel's 320 Series solid-state drive can be had for just $205 at Newegg right now—a $30 discount. There are no rebates involved, and shipping is free. However, you should be aware that Intel has yet to resolve a firmware bug that causes some 320 Series SSDs to lose all but 8MB of their capacity after an unexpected power loss. A fix is in the works, but it's not ready yet, so be sure to keep your backups up to date.
If the 320 Series doesn't strike your fancy, perhaps you'll find OCZ's Agility 3 120GB more attractive. This puppy should be quite a bit faster, and it costs only $5 more than the 320 Series. There's also a mail-in rebate that knocks the Agility's price down to $190.
Our final Newegg deal requires a little more effort. Corsair's TX750 V2 power supply is $35 off the usual asking price of $145. Enter promo code COPSUA before August 14, and you can knock another $10 off the price. There's also a $15 mail-in rebate that drops the PSU's price down to a cool $85.
The best deal of the week is reserved for Canadians, who can pick up Benq's BL2400PU LCD monitor at NCIX for half the $400 asking price. This 24-incher has a VA panel with a 1080p resolution, so you can turn your nose up to the TN crowd. The height-adjustable stand swivels and rotates, and there's even an DisplayPort input. I'm tempted to pick up a couple for myself.
In addition to that sweet monitor deal, NCIX has a couple of other intriguing bargains in its Back to School sale. Corsair's HX520W PSU can be nabbed for only $70 after a hefty discount, and the Agility 3 SSD is just $160 after a $30 mail-in rebate. The Agility is also available through NCIX's US outlet, but the other deals are not.

We propose a rough-fuzzy hybridization scheme for case generation. Fuzzy set theory is used for linguistic representation of patterns, thereby producing a fuzzy granulation of the feature space. Rough set theory is used to obtain dependency rules which model informative regions in the granulated feature space. The fuzzy membership functions corresponding to the informative regions are stored as cases along with the strength values. Case retrieval is made using a similarity measure based on these membership functions. Unlike the existing case selection methods, the cases here are cluster granules and not sample points. Also, each case involves a reduced number of relevant features. These makes the algorithm suitable for mining data sets, large both in dimension and size, due to its low-time requirement in case generation as well as retrieval. Superiority of the algorithm in terms of classification accuracy and case generation and retrieval times is demonstrated on some real-life data sets.

It's a tee. It's a dress. It's the new Graphic T-shirt Dress.
From my family photos. This was my mother's first fiance. He was killed just before they were to be married in 1921.
I sharpened this photo a bit and added some contrast in Photoshop. It was a bit faded.

A Recipe for Water
By Gillian Clarke

First Words
The alphabet of a house – air,
breath, the creak of the stair.
Downstairs the grown-ups' hullabaloo,
or their hush as you fall asleep.
You're learning the language: the steel slab
of a syllable dropped at the docks; the two-beat word
of the Breaksea lightship; the golden sentence
of a train crossing the viaduct.
Later, at Fforest, all the words are new.
You are your grandmother's Cariad, not Darling.
Tide and current are llanw, lli.
The waves repeat their ll-ll-ll on sand.
Over the sea the starlings come in paragraphs.
She tells you a tale of a girl and a bird,
reading it off the tide in lines of longhand
that scatter to bits on the shore.
The sea turns its pages, speaking in tongues.
The stories are yours, and you are the story.
And before you know it you'll know what comes
from air and breath and off the page is all
you'll want, like the sea's jewels in your hand,
and the soft mutations of sea washing on sand.
A Pocket Dictionary
'Geiriadur Llogell Cymraeg a Saesoneg', 1861
Fifty years. His handwriting, his name, address.
Richards' Pocket Dictionary. 1861.
My father's fingerprints. Mine over his.
I look up a word, as I've so often done,
without a thought beyond the page, the word.
Now syllables flock like a whirr of redwings
over the field of my mind. Here the world
began, and then is now. I am searching
for definitions, ambiguities, way
down through the strata, topsoil, rubble,
a band of clay, an inch or so of gravel,
for a particular carbon-dated day,
a seepage in the earth, a gleam of meaning,
a sudden uprise of remembering.
Glas y Dorlan
So he said, 'Let's begin by naming the creatures.'
Once in the Brecon Beacons we stopped for a picnic
where the river roared headstrong down the mountain.
A sudden electric blue, a shock through the heart.
What was that? A bird diving faster than gravity
into the pool and up with a fish in its beak.
He spoke its name, doused in the shout of the falls.
Fisher-bird, King of the Water, Pioden y Dwr,
Glas y Dorlan. Blue-by-the Riverbank.
My mother, child of a tenant farm,
learned her place from the landlord's man,
his word 'Welsh' snapped, cutting, curt,
a word that called her 'stranger'.
So my mother would not say the word.
but spat it out like a curse,
a bitterness to be rid of,
to be scoured from her mouth.
My mother's word didn't sound
like the name for a people,
for 'us', for belonging,
for a language older than legend;
or like Nain on the farm, tucking me in
with a prayer and 'Nos da, Cariad',
or calling the hens in the morning, her voice
all cluck and chuckle like scattering corn;
or my father passing the time with stories
as we drove to the sea, teaching me words,
the 'gw' and 'w' of wind and water,
the ll-ll-ll of waves on the shore.
Little water-dog. They almost caught her –
the surface closing over
as the sounding rings of a splash
smashed the moonlit water.
It made its mark on the shore –
paw-print of an otter
and the peeled skull of a frog
just after the slaughter.
Frog caught on the quiet, quartered,
till the skull was a moon
as silvery clean as a spoon
but colder, whiter.
Father and daughter
heard the frog cry 'Broga. Broga.'
Then 'Dwr. Dwr,' said water
as it swallowed the otter.
The Fox and the Girl
Once her father came home with a fox cub
in his coat pocket. Lost in the city,
shivering in rubbish outside the pub,
the colour of conkers and as pretty
as a puppy, its teeth like needles.
It hissed in her arms, but she wheedled
to keep it. When it bit her she cried
for her bloody hand, and she cried
when he said, 'Mae'n wyllt. It's a wild
animal, not a pet for a child.'
She could feel its life, its warm fur,
its quick heart beating against her,
and she hurt for its animal mystery,
for the vanishing story of a girl
and a fox lost for words
in the secret forest.
'Tell me the names for the hare!'
"Sgwarnog for its long ears.
Cochen for its red-brown fur.
Ceinach for its intricate criss-cross track.
Cath Eithin, Cath y Mynydd,
Cat of the gorse, of the mountain.'
There, alive, over the hedge,
in the field by the cliff-path,
one of her kindle, her kittens,
a leveret alone, stone-still in its cwtsh
till she comes at dusk to suckle it,
murmuring mother tongue.
for Edward Thomas
No old machinery, no tangled chains
of a harrow locked in rust and rising grasses,
nor the fallen stones of ancient habitation
where nettles feed on what we leave behind.
Nothing but a careless compost heap
warmed to a simmer of sickly pungency,
lawn clippings we never moved, but meant to,
and can't, now, because nettles have moved in,
and it's your human words inhabit this.
And, closer, look! The stems lean with the weight,
the young of peacock butterflies, just hatched,
their glittering black spines and spots of pearl.
And I want to say to the dead, look what a poet sings
to life: the bite of nettles, caterpillars, wings.
A T-Mail to Keats
Dear John Keats,
I write to suggest that poets never die.
The old poetry drums in the living tongue,
phrase and image like bright stones in the stream
of common speech, its cadences a beat
that resonates as long as language lives.
I want to talk with you of the new nature,
of your grief at science for unweaving the rainbow.
But listen to the poetry of light,
the seven colours of coronas, glories, haloes,
how no two people see the same rainbow.
Oh, soon may science solve time's mystery!
Already words can take flight from our hands
over land and continents and seas,
with the small sigh of a shooting star.
If words can cross space, why not time?
In hope, I send this message into space.
May we meet over a verse, a glass
or two of the blushful Hippocrene,
a draught of vintage that hath been
cooled a long age in the deep-delved earth
in the ice-house of our refrigerator.
In esteem.
for Gwyn Thomas
For so long a flame has flickered
at the cromlech, at the crossroad,
in encampment, hovel and castle,
in the courts of minor princes.
Song by firelight, gleam of a sword,
the quiver of a harp string,
reflections in the faces
of those tranced by listening.
The word is out. It crosses
centuries, each one a torch,
every syllable a heartbeat,
every song a torch in the dark.
Gwyn, we meet at the ford,
to speak in tongues,
to pass on simple truth,
to torch the lies, the weasel words,
burn off the fog of politics
with poetry's flame,
to illuminate
the mind's manuscript.
The Ledbury Muse
A blackbird cuts a dash straight down Church Lane,
picks scraps from the Market Hall. Again, again
he skims the cobbles in the rising sun
too quick to glimpse the fabulous flaw, his one
rumoured white feather. Muse of the streets and yards,
old as the town, rough scruff of a bird,
five hundred years ago his voice was heard
by drovers, strolling players, itinerant bards.
He is silent now. This songless July morning
before the news breaks, the blackbird's lost his voice.
Rumour, footsteps, voices sound the space.
It's our turn now to hold our ground with warning.
To cry out against terror is what poetry's for,
to admit our one white feather, our fatal, human flaw.
A Recipe for Water
for Sujata Bhatt
Fifty feet down
water flows in the dark.
Rains that spent history
seeping page by page
through the strata,
run black in the aquifers
to rise bringing their gift,
the formula like a spell,
a gulp of cold that flares
at the touch of light.
Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium,
Chloride, Sulphate, Nitrate, Iron.
Sip this, the poetry of stone,
a mineral Latin in our blood, our bone.
* * *
The first word for water.
Wysg. Usk. Esk. Wye.
First clicks, clucks, monosyllables,
sibilant spillings in imitation
of the sound of all that shining.
Or the sound of thirst,
the suck and lap as a small pool ripples
in the cup of two hands,
an ecstasy of spill on skin, hair, mouth,
drops beading the dust.
* * *
The second word for water.
Dwfr. Dwr. Dyfroedd. Dover.
Imagine the moment a man,
a woman singing in a dark age,
gazed from those chalk heights
at the vast and broken seas
and sang this word, song and word
on the tongue, in the throat,
finding a name for an element.
Everywhere on earth, the first human word
as small as the single drop of rain
a blackbird needs to begin a dawn song.
* * *
That drop on the tongue
was the first word in the world
head back, eyes closed, mouth open
to drink the rain
wysg, uisc, dwr, hudra, aqua, agua, eau, wasser
* * *
You imagine me writing in the falling rain,
rain on the roof, writing in whispers
on the slates' lectern,
rain spelling out each syllable
like a child learning to read.
But day after day
no huff of rain
on the roof,
frost a dry breath on grass.
The trees stop drinking,
their secret roots a delta under the earth,
their branches against the winter sky
waiting for spring to make a move.
Rain must relearn how to sound.
March rain must learn to be wild,
to fill the mouth of the west wind
with salt skinned off the sea.
So long the Atlantic has waited,
dragging its anchor.
These dry days and nights
I feel its weight like gravity.
* * *
Weeks of journeys into frozen England.
One dusk, the north-bound Pendolino
leans out for the dance across the Midlands,
creeping so slowly between claypits,
canals and the backs of houses,
that there's time for a woman's hands
in a lit kitchen to turn on a tap
and fill a bowl with what I know
is my sweet mountain water
brought all the way by gravity.
After the theatre, stirred by song and story,
we watch the winter stars from the balcony.
Five floors down from our room in the hotel,
two ice-floes in flux on flow. Each candela
is a mute swan asleep, as white, as luminous
on the black waters of the bay as ice.
Stilled at the edge of the Severn's turbulence
and the tangled waters of two river currents,
their whiteness the definition of lumen,
swans paired for life, a cob and his pen,
wings and necks folded in one dream,
and all the colours of white, which only seem,
Sujata, the very opposite of the blackness
of your black squirrel in Caracas,
but are the same, the one
white rainbow, black, one spectrum.
* * *
All the spare light in the world is stored
in the folded wings of a pair of sleeping swans,
all the world's spare water stacked miles deep
in the waking ice of the glacier.
The last star dissolves at the lost edge of the moon
afloat on blue like Arctic ice, loosening.
* * *
At last a change in the weather.
Frost gives up its grip,
ice eases in the bones of trees.
There is movement in the air,
the Atlantic on the wind's breath,
a touch of rain beginning.
A Barge on the Severn
after a painting by Colin Jones (1928–1967)
Where river becomes estuary
before losing its name to the sea,
in water angled by a harbour wall,
on the tilt of the tide's rise and fall
between mudflats, saltmarsh and flood plain,
a boat with the sea in its lap, or rain.
He could have put the river to bed,
baled out the barge, drowned to its gunwale
in flood, in the hope of letting it float.
But he caught the hour and held it,
the cruciform spars of the stern where light
and a salt wind off the channel
still make its lost sail snap in a cross wind,
and the colours brought home in his mind
– red flaking and faded to rose,
and the blue-green of water – have held
forty years, while he, the barge, a particular
hour, timbers, molecules, pigment, particles,
are swept with the soils and silts of Pumlimon
to become the Severn.
After hours plodding uphill in something between
rain and an Atlantic haar, we have come to this:
two thousand feet above the Irish Sea,
a pane of ice, and a muscle of pooling water,
Pumlimon, where five rivers rise, a squelch
of tussocky bog, and the cairn, Garn-fach Bugeilyn,
where story tells us Cai and Bedwyr stood
'in the highest wind in the world'.
We witness a birth, uncertain of what is born,
though we see it's alive, its pulsing placenta,
Hafren, Sabrina, gurgling out of the earth,
headwaters of a stream that will augment
to a headlong hurtling force ready to swallow
Vyrnwy, Stour, Teme, Avon, Afon and Wye,
to bring mountain waters to lap at the thresholds
of cities, to bear off the dead, to shove its way
through limestone in the gorge at Ironbridge,
to be fluent under bridges, to open its hands
letting its multiple muscular waters spread,
to become the estuary, to be lost in the sea.
There is a gentle nymph not far from hence
That with moist curb sways the smooth Severn stream.
Sabrina is her name, a virgin pure
Milton, 'Comus'
Before history there was mythology.
Fingerprinted between the strata of story
Is the human sign. We make a guess
At who they were, and where and why it was.
How the daughter of faithless Locrinus drowned
Between an Ice Age and the Age of Stone
To become the river-goddess, a curb in the river.
Today in these fast waters you might glimpse
In the sway of the currents the white limbs
Of a girl caught in a shoal of silvers
Turning and turning in the turbulence
Among migrating salmon, sewin, elvers,
Lampreys, eels taking their ancient water-roads
Under the shadows of thousands of homing birds.
stopped the throat of the Severn
in the last Ice Age.
so it slept three thousand years,
locked in a frozen lake,
thawed slowly,
built power
beyond Wenlock Edge,
turned south-east,
forced a six mile gorge through rock
at Ironbridge, let loose
the coal, iron, limestone, clay,
that would change the world.
Lured by the very thought of it, forty-nine feet,
the second highest rise and fall in the world.
Some mornings full to the brim, it slapped and curled
over the prom, and by evening was so far out
you couldn't tell sea from pools, pebbles, mudflats,
wet acres of seaweed, shells, old rope, bird-bones,
fishing lines hooked in the silt, worm-casts, stones,
streams of ebbing water flashing with light.
Once, on a strange beach, the Severn turned on us.
It surged thundering up the steep sand,
carried and cast us ashore like detritus
then tried to drag us back on retreating waters,
as when the sea-king stole the old man's daughters.
The sea charges in
against the outpour
of a big, bold river.
no holds barred.
So a water-dragon is born.
A self-powering soliton
heaves upstream,
rearing its crested head,
past cathedrals, towns,
a seven foot wave
rolling up-country
where no wave should be.
It rips out river banks,
nudges a stone from the stanchion
of a bridge,
sweeps footpaths away,
carries off cars,
the carcass of a sheep,
tons of old red sandstone,
and surfers hitching a ride.
No entry to 68,000 wintering birds:
dunlin back from Scandinavia to their usual place,
the greatest gathering of shelduck in Europe,
no entry to Bewick's swan,
pintail, wigeon, redshank.
No entry to the breeding grounds
for curlew, oystercatcher.
No entry to 30,000 homing salmon
to great shoals of shad, lampreys, and sewin
to spawn in the Usk and the Wye.
No exit to millions of eels and elvers
as they swim down river to the spawning grounds.
No entry when they return in spring.
as they swim down river to the spawning grounds.
No entry when they return in spring.
between a weather satellite
wavering among the steady stars
and seven swans tagged with transmitters,
asleep on a lake in southern Finland.
First light. Bewick's and Whooper swans
wheel off the water, beating west,
the Russian Arctic tundra out of mind,
their future the washy estuaries
of Severn, Dyfi, Neb or Ouse.
It's nothing new, on wing, on foot,
the hungry take to the roads of a restless earth,
in flight from famine, slaughter, war,
on ancient journeys across seas, deserts,
across the latitudes and longitudes.
But this is new, intimate, tracking
the secret flight of a Bewick's swan,
its heartbeat in my hand
as it homes a thousand miles,
to winter on wetlands in Wales.
I fly with it, imagining space
beating with luminous wings:
satellites, angels, souls,
the seven ghosts of Concorde
blowing the firmament,
the world's roads dark
with human travellers,
each caravan of hunger
a mythic journey to an inn,
in want of shelter, water, bread.

This Is Our Jam: T.I., "Sorry (Featuring André 3000)"
This track may be a week old now, but in our listen-then-forget-it music cycle, sometimes it's worth sitting back and letting something great actually sink in. Quite simply, "Sorry" is one of the finest rap songs of the year, with elegiac verses from two heavy weights who have been in the game for a long, long time. Hearing T.I. wrestling with his demons would be striking enough ("It's nothing, you numb to it, and your heart grow colder / Pacify your pain with a chain and a Rover"), but Andre 3000's virtuosic verse at the track's end is in a different league altogether.
"This the type of shit that make you call your rap partner and say 'Sorry I'm awkward. My fault for fuckin' up the tours / I hated all the attention so I ran from it,'" Three Stacks raps in an apology to Big Boi. He continues, "Fuck it if we did, but I hope we ain't lose no fans from it." As the meandering verse ends, he delves into past relationships and his own psyche looking for solace, but finds no answers. "What should I be sorry for? Who should I be sorry to?" André asks. Silence.

Well it ain't gonna be the bomb. How can one make a great DTS source from the original? It can't happen no matter how much I would love my room to shake when the ocean crashes upon them.
I'm glad to hear that as it wouldn't make much sense to triple dip the Ten Commandments so soon.
Umm, hate to burst your bubble Mark, but that's in reference to the 2006 mini-series version, not the 1956 Chuck Heston classic.
Aren't they coming out with a film spoofing the Ten Commandments? I think last I heard it stars Alba.
Ten Commandments DTS is coming!! This is going to be bad news for those who already bought the recent 50th anniversary or something like that. I was trying to find out which edition to get for my collection - the first SE or the new anniversary edition. Anyway, I found out in www.dvdpacific.com that a DTS Edition is on its way on the 5th September, by Platinum Disc?

Now I have too many choices!!

A new tourism blueprint for a large boost in tourism facilities on the state of Victoria's southern coastline, the Great Ocean Road.
The plan calls for a big jump in resort tourism facilities to be built along the world-class route to accommodate more than 10 million visitors a year by 2030.
The report, funded by industry and state and federal governments, calls for an additional 3440 guest rooms in the Great Ocean Road region over the next 20 years.
Under a high growth visitor estimate, up to four new ''large resorts'', five new backpacker hostels, five new caravan or tourist parks, up to a dozen new hotels, 50 bed and breakfasts and 90 farm-stay accommodation options would be required, the report states.
Priority projects around the Great Ocean Road include a $100 million Port Campbell Precinct and Loch Ard Interpretive Centre and a $35 million Great Ocean Road tourist resort near Port Campbell.
''This will ensure that touring markets are appropriately catered for in close proximity to the iconic product, and provide incentive for visitors to stay longer in the region,'' the report says.
Also singled out is a need for ''signature accommodation'' at Moonlight Head, including 20 luxury suites, day spa, restaurant, guest lounge and bar.
''There is not a signature accommodation provider in the Great Ocean Road Region. However, there are a number of settings which provide opportunity for world-class branded accommodation.''
The report predicts the Great Ocean Road will attract up to 3.3 million additional visitors a year by 2030, including a doubling of international visitors.
Tourism Minister Louise Asher says in the report: ''The Victorian state government will continue to work with industry and the Commonwealth to support the implementation of the destination management plan.''
Councils have already began lodging applications for greater development along the Great Ocean Road.
Planning Minister Matthew Guy has on his desk an application from Corangamite Shire Council to rezone 1155 hectares across 20 sites to facilitate tourism development, including 50 hectares west of Port Campbell for resort development.
But not everyone is happy about the plan to dramatically increase tourism accommodation in the region. Marion Manifold from the Port Campbell Community Group said the new destination management plan did not include ''community consultation or consideration of what the community wants.
''The proposal for a large 'integrated resort' just west of Port Campbell and a major tourism facility at Loch Ard Gorge will overturn years of community consultation and government policy,'' she said.
''The report's emphasis is on economics and fails to consider environmental impacts which are integral to government policies. The Port Campbell coastline is of national significance and of exceptionally high conservation value, and tourism is dependent on protecting these qualities.''

Kim Kardashian and PETA React to Flour Bomb Incident
Kim Kardashian has made a comment about the flour-bomb incident that shocked her at the London Hotel in West Hollywood Thursday, March 22 evening. The reality star refused to take the embarrassing incident seriously, telling E! News, "I'm fine. You have to laugh it off! I brushed off and came right back out."
Kim was launching her new fragrance, True Reflection, at the event. Suddenly a younger woman who is described as short and Asian, came between Kim and her publicist, dumping a bag of flour on top of Kim's head. The woman reportedly shouted "Fur hag!" before she made a run for the exit. This led to speculation that she was related to PETA.
The organization, however, denied the connection, saying "PETA has tried everything from polite letters to public protests, but Kim Kardashian has not been moved by the news that animals are beaten, electrocuted, and even skinned alive for real fur garments. Whoever threw that flour may reach her when our polite appeals did not."
The woman was detained by hotel security. Although no charges was filed on her, a non-criminal battery report was still filed.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/20/14 -- The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux and collaborative development, today announced the keynote speakers for The Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit (http://www.twitter.com/#lfcollab) taking place March 26-28, 2014 at the Meritage Resort in Napa Valley, Calif. The complete schedule will be available online this Friday.
Since the first Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit in 2007, the software industry has undergone a major transformation. More software today is built collaboratively than ever before, and companies are coming together on an unprecedented number of projects to advance and accelerate new technologies. From Linux to virtualization, cloud computing, big data, software-defined networking and more, open source and collaborative development are being used to define and build the software that runs our lives.
The Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit brings together the leaders from the Linux and open source communities in an invitation-only venue to advance the state-of-the-art of Linux and open source software. The Summit is the only place where developers, end users and business managers from across industries can learn best practices for starting and managing collaborative software projects, from governance to technical contribution, and tools to legal considerations. It is also the place that brings together The Linux Foundation's Collaborative Projects and workgroups to meet and work more broadly with other community leaders to achieve breakthrough innovation and to tackle the most pressing issues facing Linux.
The following confirmed keynote speakers and presentations will set the stage for discussion on collaborative development with a variety of topics that address the Linux kernel, open source best practices, legal considerations, collaborative development and more.
Confirmed keynote speakers and topics include:
- Qualcomm's Liat Ben-Zur will present "It Takes a Community to Create the Connected Home." Ben-Zur is a senior director at Qualcomm Connected Experiences, Inc. and chairperson of the AllSeen Alliance. She will share the AllSeen community's experiences using collaboration to advance the Internet of Everything (IoE).
- Parallels' CTO of Server Virtualization and Linux kernel developer James Bottomley will explore the latest in container technologies with a keynote titled, "Why You Need to Care About Container Virtualization."
- IBM's Mike Day, distinguished engineer and chief virtualization architect, will partner with HP's Distinguished Technologist Monty Taylor to present "KVM, OpenStack and the Open Cloud."
Day, a recognized expert in virtualization technologies, will also teach an onsite training course, "Introduction to Linux KVM Virtualization." The course takes place on site at Collaboration Summit. For more information and to register, please visit: http://training.linuxfoundation.org/linux-courses/system-administration-training/introduction-to-linux-kvm-virtualization

Panelists include Jens Axboe, Facebook engineer; Dave Chinner, developer at Red Hat; Mel Gorman, author of "Understanding the Linux Virtual Memory Manager;" Matthew Garrett, senior security engineer at Nebula; and Greg Kroah-Hartman, Linux Foundation fellow.
- A panel titled "How to Enable Mass Collaboration" will be moderated by Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin with panelists representing the OpenDaylight Project, Xen Project, and Apache CloudStack, among others. Panelists include: Mark Hinkle, senior director, Open Source Solutions, Citrix; Neela Jacques, executive director, OpenDaylight Project; and Mauri Whalen, Core System Development SW director, Intel.
- Red Hat's Chris Wright will present "Redefining the Networking Industry Through Collaboration." Wright is a long-time Linux kernel developer who works on OpenDaylight, Open vSwitch and OpenStack.
- Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin will present the newest State of Linux address.
On days two and three of the event, hundreds of summit participants will break into project and workgroup meetings to expand on topics presented during the keynotes and to dive deep into filesystems, tools, tracing, legal topics and more, including Collaborative Projects and workgroups AllSeen Alliance, OpenDaylight Project, Open Virtualization Alliance, SPDX, Tizen and Xen Project.
Highlights include:
- Report on GNOME's Outreach Program for Diversity and Plans for the Future, Karen M. Sandler, executive director, GNOME Foundation

- From an Idea to a Corporate Sponsored Open Source Project: The A to Z Journey, Ibrahim Haddad, Head of the Open Source Group at Samsung Research America.
"Linux and open source software are the building blocks for solving today's most complex technology challenges. The Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit offers a neutral forum where developers, users and vendors can come together to address those challenges in one place," said Jim Zemlin, executive director at The Linux Foundation. "Over the past year there has been an increase in both Linux development and the emergence of new open source projects to address technology challenges and market opportunities. The Summit will help drive these efforts forward."
Immediately prior to The Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit, the Linux Storage, Filesystem and Memory Management Summit will take place March 24-25, 2014. Holding the summits in close proximity increases the opportunities for collaborative engagement among developers and researchers focused on advancing Linux in these areas.
