A new Fruit Fly Optimization Algorithm: Taking the financial distress model as an exampleWen Tsao Pan
Volume 26, Issue , February 2012, Pages 69-74
The treatment of an optimization problem is a problem that is commonly researched and discussed by scholars from all kinds of fields. If the problem cannot be optimized in dealing with things, usually lots of human power and capital will be wasted, and in the worst case, it could lead to failure and wasted efforts. Therefore, in this article, a much simpler and more robust optimization algorithm compared with the complicated optimization method proposed by past scholars is proposed; the Fruit Fly Optimization Algorithm. In this article, throughout the process of finding the maximal value and minimal value of a function, the function of this algorithm is tested repeatedly, in the mean time, the population size and characteristic is also investigated. Moreover, the financial distress data of Taiwan's enterprise is further collected, and the fruit fly algorithm optimized General Regression Neural Network, General Regression Neural Network and Multiple Regression are adopted to construct a financial distress model. It is found in this article that the RMSE value of the Fruit Fly Optimization Algorithm optimized General Regression Neural Network model has a very good convergence, and the model also has a very good classification and prediction capability. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Approaches to multiple attribute group decision making based on intuitionistic fuzzy power aggregation operatorsZeshui Xu
Volume 24, Issue 6, August 2011, Pages 749-760
Intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs) are very suitable to be used for depicting uncertain or fuzzy information. Motivated by the idea of power aggregation [R.R. Yager, The power average operator, IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics-Part A 31 (2001) 724-731], in this paper, we develop a series of operators for aggregating IFNs, establish various properties of these power aggregation operators, and then apply them to develop some approaches to multiple attribute group decision making with Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy information. Moreover, we extend these aggregation operators and decision making approaches to interval-valued Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy environments. © 2011 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Volume 24, Issue 2, March 2011, Pages 197-209
We study the induced generalized aggregation operators under intuitionistic fuzzy environments. Choquet integral and Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence are applied to aggregate inuitionistic fuzzy information and some new types of aggregation operators are developed, including the induced generalized intuitionistic fuzzy Choquet integral operators and induced generalized intuitionistic fuzzy Dempster-Shafer operators. Then we investigate their various properties and some of their special cases. Additionally, we apply the developed operators to financial decision making under intuitionistic fuzzy environments. Some extensions in interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy situations are also pointed out. © 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V.
Forecasting stock indices using radial basis function neural networks optimized by artificial fish swarm algorithmWei Shen | Xiaopen Guo | Chao Wu | Desheng Wu
Volume 24, Issue 3, April 2011, Pages 378-385
Stock index forecasting is a hot issue in the financial arena. As the movements of stock indices are non-linear and subject to many internal and external factors, they pose a great challenge to researchers who try to predict them. In this paper, we select a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) to train data and forecast the stock indices of the Shanghai Stock Exchange. We introduce the artificial fish swarm algorithm (AFSA) to optimize RBF. To increase forecasting efficiency, a K-means clustering algorithm is optimized by AFSA in the learning process of RBF. To verify the usefulness of our algorithm, we compared the forecasting results of RBF optimized by AFSA, genetic algorithms (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), as well as forecasting results of ARIMA, BP and support vector machine (SVM). Our experiment indicates that RBF optimized by AFSA is an easy-to-use algorithm with considerable accuracy. Of all the combinations we tried in this paper, BIAS6 + MA5 + ASY4 was the optimum group with the least errors. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Interval-valued hesitant preference relations and their applications to group decision makingNa Chen | Zeshui Xu | Meimei Xia
Volume 37, Issue , January 2013, Pages 528-540
We introduce a new type of fuzzy preference structure, called interval-valued hesitant preference relations, to describe uncertain evaluation information in group decision making (GDM) processes. Moreover, it allows decision makers to offer all possible interval values that are not accounted for in current preference structure types when one compares two alternatives. We generalize the concept of hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) to that of interval-valued hesitant fuzzy set (IVHFS) in which the membership degrees of an element to a given set are not exactly defined, but denoted by several possible interval values. We give systematic aggregation operators to aggregate interval-valued hesitant fuzzy information. In addition, we develop an approach to GDM based on interval-valued hesitant preference relations in order to consider the differences of opinions between individual decision makers. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the proposed approach. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
A two-stage feature selection method for text categorization by using information gain, principal component analysis and genetic algorithmHarun Uǧuz
Volume 24, Issue 7, October 2011, Pages 1024-1032
Text categorization is widely used when organizing documents in a digital form. Due to the increasing number of documents in digital form, automated text categorization has become more promising in the last ten years. A major problem of text categorization is its large number of features. Most of those are irrelevant noise that can mislead the classifier. Therefore, feature selection is often used in text categorization to reduce the dimensionality of the feature space and to improve performance. In this study, two-stage feature selection and feature extraction is used to improve the performance of text categorization. In the first stage, each term within the document is ranked depending on their importance for classification using the information gain (IG) method. In the second stage, genetic algorithm (GA) and principal component analysis (PCA) feature selection and feature extraction methods are applied separately to the terms which are ranked in decreasing order of importance, and a dimension reduction is carried out. Thereby, during text categorization, terms of less importance are ignored, and feature selection and extraction methods are applied to the terms of highest importance; thus, the computational time and complexity of categorization is reduced. To evaluate the effectiveness of dimension reduction methods on our purposed model, experiments are conducted using the k-nearest neighbour (KNN) and C4.5 decision tree algorithm on Reuters-21,578 and Classic3 datasets collection for text categorization. The experimental results show that the proposed model is able to achieve high categorization effectiveness as measured by precision, recall and F-measure. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted distance operatorShouzhen Zeng | Weihua Su
Volume 24, Issue 8, December 2011, Pages 1224-1232
The ordered weighted distance [27,49] is a new decision-making technique, having been proved useful for the treatment of input data in the form of exact numbers. In this paper, we consider the situation with intuitionistic fuzzy information and develop an intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted distance (IFOWD) operator. The IFOWD operator is very suitable to deal with the situations where the input data are represented in intuitionistic fuzzy information and includes a wide range of distance measures and aggregation operators. We study some of its main properties and different families of IFOWD operators. Finally, we develop an application of the new approach in a group decision-making under intuitionistic fuzzy environment and illustrate it with a numerical example. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

An extended TOPSIS for determining weights of decision makers with interval numbersZhongliang Yue
Volume 24, Issue 1, February 2011, Pages 146-153
In this paper, we develop a method for determining weights of decision makers under group decision environment, in which the each individual decision information is expressed by a matrix in interval numbers. We define the positive and negative ideal solutions of group decision, which are expressed by a matrix, respectively. The positive ideal solution is expressed by the average matrix of group decision and the negative ideal solution is maximum separation from positive ideal solution. The separation measures of each individual decision from the ideal solution and the relative closeness to the ideal solution are defined based on Euclidean distance. According to the relative closeness, we determine the weights of decision makers in accordance with the values of the relative closeness. Finally, we give an example for integrated assessment of air quality in Guangzhou during 16th Asian Olympic Games to illustrate in detail the calculation process of the developed approach. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Ontology-based information content computationDavid Sánchez | Montserrat Batet | David Isern
Volume 24, Issue 2, March 2011, Pages 297-303
The information content (IC) of a concept provides an estimation of its degree of generality/concreteness, a dimension which enables a better understanding of concept's semantics. As a result, IC has been successfully applied to the automatic assessment of the semantic similarity between concepts. In the past, IC has been estimated as the probability of appearance of concepts in corpora. However, the applicability and scalability of this method are hampered due to corpora dependency and data sparseness. More recently, some authors proposed IC-based measures using taxonomical features extracted from an ontology for a particular concept, obtaining promising results. In this paper, we analyse these ontology-based approaches for IC computation and propose several improvements aimed to better capture the semantic evidence modelled in the ontology for the particular concept. Our approach has been evaluated and compared with related works (both corpora and ontology-based ones) when applied to the task of semantic similarity estimation. Results obtained for a widely used benchmark show that our method enables similarity estimations which are better correlated with human judgements than related works. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy prioritized operators and their application in group decision makingDejian Yu | Yingyu Wu | Ting Lu
Volume 30, Issue , June 2012, Pages 57-66
This study investigates the group decision making under interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment in which the attributes and experts are in different priority level. We first propose some interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators such as the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy prioritized weighted average (IVIFPWA) operator, the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy prioritized weighted geometric (IVIFPWG) operator. These proposed operators can capture the prioritization phenomenon among the aggregated arguments. Then, some of their desirable properties are investigated in detail. Furthermore, an approach to multi-criteria group decision making based on the proposed operators is given under interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment. Finally, a practical example about talent introduction is provided to illustrate the developed method. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
A collaborative filtering approach to mitigate the new user cold start problemJesús Bobadilla | Fernando Ortega | Antonio Hernando | Jesús Bernal
Volume 26, Issue , February 2012, Pages 225-238
The new user cold start issue represents a serious problem in recommender systems as it can lead to the loss of new users who decide to stop using the system due to the lack of accuracy in the recommendations received in that first stage in which they have not yet cast a significant number of votes with which to feed the recommender system's collaborative filtering core. For this reason it is particularly important to design new similarity metrics which provide greater precision in the results offered to users who have cast few votes. This paper presents a new similarity measure perfected using optimization based on neural learning, which exceeds the best results obtained with current metrics. The metric has been tested on the Netflix and Movielens databases, obtaining important improvements in the measures of accuracy, precision and recall when applied to new user cold start situations. The paper includes the mathematical formalization describing how to obtain the main quality measures of a recommender system using leave-one-out cross validation. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

An effective feature selection method for hyperspectral image classification based on genetic algorithm and support vector machineShijin Li | Hao Wu | Dingsheng Wan | Jiali Zhu
Volume 24, Issue 1, February 2011, Pages 40-48
With the development and popularization of the remote-sensing imaging technology, there are more and more applications of hyperspectral image classification tasks, such as target detection and land cover investigation. It is a very challenging issue of urgent importance to select a minimal and effective subset from those mass of bands. This paper proposed a hybrid feature selection strategy based on genetic algorithm and support vector machine (GA-SVM), which formed a wrapper to search for the best combination of bands with higher classification accuracy. In addition, band grouping based on conditional mutual information between adjacent bands was utilized to counter for the high correlation between the bands and further reduced the computational cost of the genetic algorithm. During the post-processing phase, the branch and bound algorithm was employed to filter out those irrelevant band groups. Experimental results on two benchmark data sets have shown that the proposed approach is very competitive and effective. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Hesitant fuzzy multi-attribute decision making based on TOPSIS with incomplete weight informationZeshui Xu | Xiaolu Zhang
Volume 52, Issue , November 2013, Pages 53-64
Hesitant fuzzy set (HFS), which allows the membership degree of an element to a set represented by several possible values, is considered as a powerful tool to express uncertain information in the process of multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems. In this paper, we develop a novel approach based on TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) and the maximizing deviation method for solving MADM problems, in which the evaluation information provided by the decision maker is expressed in hesitant fuzzy elements and the information about attribute weights is incomplete. There are two key issues being addressed in this approach. The first one is to establish an optimization model based on the maximizing deviation method, which can be used to determine the attribute weights. According to the idea of the TOPSIS of Hwang and Yoon [1], the second one is to calculate the relative closeness coefficient of each alternative to the hesitant positive-ideal solution, based on which the considered alternatives are ranked and then the most desirable one is selected. An energy policy selection problem is used to illustrate the detailed implementation process of the proposed approach, and demonstrate its validity and applicability. Finally, the extended results in interval-valued hesitant fuzzy situations are also pointed out. © 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
A hybrid annual power load forecasting model based on generalized regression neural network with fruit fly optimization algorithmHong Ze Li | Sen Guo | Chun Jie Li | Jing Qi Sun
Volume 37, Issue , January 2013, Pages 378-387
Accurate annual power load forecasting can provide reliable guidance for power grid operation and power construction planning, which is also important for the sustainable development of electric power industry. The annual power load forecasting is a non-linear problem because the load curve shows a non-linear characteristic. Generalized regression neural network (GRNN) has been proven to be effective in dealing with the non-linear problems, but it is very regretfully finds that the GRNN have rarely been applied to the annual power load forecasting. Therefore, the GRNN was used for annual power load forecasting in this paper. However, how to determine the appropriate spread parameter in using the GRNN for power load forecasting is a key point. In this paper, a hybrid annual power load forecasting model combining fruit fly optimization algorithm (FOA) and generalized regression neural network was proposed to solve this problem, where the FOA was used to automatically select the appropriate spread parameter value for the GRNN power load forecasting model. The effectiveness of this proposed hybrid model was proved by two experiment simulations, which both show that the proposed hybrid model outperforms the GRNN model with default parameter, GRNN model with particle swarm optimization (PSOGRNN), least squares support vector machine with simulated annealing algorithm (SALSSVM), and the ordinary least squares linear regression (OLS-LR) forecasting models in the annual power load forecasting. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

A soft set approach for association rules miningTutut Herawan | Mustafa Mat Deris
Volume 24, Issue 1, February 2011, Pages 186-195
In this paper, we present an alternative approach for mining regular association rules and maximal association rules from transactional datasets using soft set theory. This approach is started by a transformation of a transactional dataset into a Boolean-valued information system. Since the "standard" soft set deals with such information system, thus a transactional dataset can be represented as a soft set. Using the concept of parameters co-occurrence in a transaction, we define the notion of regular and maximal association rules between two sets of parameters, also their support, confidence and maximal support, maximal confidences, respectively properly using soft set theory. The results show that the soft regular and soft maximal association rules provide identical rules as compared to the regular and maximal association rules. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Some hesitant interval-valued fuzzy aggregation operators and their applications to multiple attribute decision makingGuiwu Wei | Xiaofei Zhao | Rui Lin
Volume 46, Issue , July 2013, Pages 43-53
In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems in which attribute values take the form of hesitant interval-valued fuzzy information. Firstly, definition and some operational laws of hesitant interval-valued fuzzy elements and score function of hesitant interval-valued fuzzy elements are introduced. Then, we have developed some hesitant interval-valued fuzzy aggregation operators: hesitant interval-valued fuzzy weighted averaging (HIVFWA) operator, hesitant interval-valued fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (HIVFOWA) operator, the hesitant interval-valued fuzzy weighted geometric (HIVFWG) operator, hesitant interval-valued fuzzy ordered weighted geometric (HIVFOWG) operator, hesitant interval-valued fuzzy choquet ordered averaging (HIVFCOA) operator, hesitant interval-valued fuzzy choquet ordered geometric (HIVFCOG) operator, hesitant interval-valued fuzzy prioritized aggregation operators and hesitant interval-valued fuzzy power aggregation operators. We have applied the HIVFCOA and HIVFCOG operators to multiple attribute decision making with hesitant interval-valued fuzzy information. Finally an illustrative example has been given to show the developed method. © 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Grey relational analysis model for dynamic hybrid multiple attribute decision makingGuiwu Wei
Volume 24, Issue 5, July 2011, Pages 672-679
In this paper, the dynamic hybrid multiple attribute decision making problems, in which the decision information, provided by decision makers at different periods, is expressed in real numbers, interval numbers or linguistic labels (linguistic labels can be described by triangular fuzzy numbers), respectively, are investigated. The method first utilizes three different GRA (grey relational analysis (real-valued GRA, interval-valued GRA and fuzzy-valued GRA) to calculate the individual grey relational degree of each alternative to the positive and negative ideal alternatives based on the decision information expressed in real numbers, interval numbers and linguistic labels, respectively, provided by each decision maker at each period, and then adopt the concept of fuzzy membership grade and clustering to aggregate the grey relational degree of all the evaluated periods. Finally, an illustrative example is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Research on the multi-attribute decision-making under risk with interval probability based on prospect theory and the uncertain linguistic variablesPeide Liu | Fang Jin | Xin Zhang | Yu Su | Minghe Wang
Volume 24, Issue 4, May 2011, Pages 554-561
With respect to risk decision making problems with interval probability in which the attribute values take the form of the uncertain linguistic variables, a multi-attribute decision making method based on prospect theory is proposed. To begin with, the uncertain linguistic variables can be transformed into the trapezoidal fuzzy number, and the prospect value function of the trapezoidal fuzzy number based on the decision-making reference point of each attribute and the weight function of interval probability can be constructed; then the prospect value of attribute for every alternative is calculated through prospect value function of the trapezoidal fuzzy number and the weight function of interval probability, and the weighted prospect value of alternative is acquired by using weighted average method according to attribute weights, and all the alternatives are sorted according to the expected values of the weighted prospect values; Finally, an illustrate example is given to show the decision-making steps, the influence on decision making for different parameters of value function and different decision-making reference point, and the feasibility of the method. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Automated EEG analysis of epilepsy: A reviewU. Rajendra Acharya | S. Vinitha Sree | G. Swapna | Roshan Joy Martis | Jasjit S. Suri
Volume 45, Issue , June 2013, Pages 147-165
Epilepsy is an electrophysiological disorder of the brain, characterized by recurrent seizures. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of the brain, and is widely used in the detection and analysis of epileptic seizures. However, it is often difficult to identify subtle but critical changes in the EEG waveform by visual inspection, thus opening up a vast research area for biomedical engineers to develop and implement several intelligent algorithms for the identification of such subtle changes. Moreover, the EEG signals are nonlinear and non-stationary in nature, which contribute to further complexities related to their manual interpretation and detection of normal and abnormal (interictal and ictal) activities. Hence, it is necessary to develop a Computer Aided Diagnostic (CAD) system to automatically identify the normal and abnormal activities using minimum number of highly discriminating features in classifiers. It has been found that nonlinear features are able to capture the complex physiological phenomena such as abrupt transitions and chaotic behavior in the EEG signals. In this review, we discuss various feature extraction methods and the results of different automated epilepsy stage detection techniques in detail. We also briefly present the various open ended challenges that need to be addressed before a CAD based epilepsy detection system can be set-up in a clinical setting. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

A case study on a hybrid wind speed forecasting method using BP neural networkZhen Hai Guo | Jie Wu | Hai Yan Lu | Jian Zhou Wang
Volume 24, Issue 7, October 2011, Pages 1048-1056
Wind energy, which is intermittent by nature, can have a significant impact on power grid security, power system operation, and market economics, especially in areas with a high level of wind power penetration. Wind speed forecasting has been a vital part of wind farm planning and the operational planning of power grids with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Improving the accuracy of wind speed forecasting algorithms has significant technological and economic impacts on these activities, and significant research efforts have addressed this aim recently. However, there is no single best forecasting algorithm that can be applied to any wind farm due to the fact that wind speed patterns can be very different between wind farms and are usually influenced by many factors that are location-specific and difficult to control. In this paper, we propose a new hybrid wind speed forecasting method based on a back-propagation (BP) neural network and the idea of eliminating seasonal effects from actual wind speed datasets using seasonal exponential adjustment. This method can forecast the daily average wind speed one year ahead with lower mean absolute errors compared to figures obtained without adjustment, as demonstrated by a case study conducted using a wind speed dataset collected from the Minqin area in China from 2001 to 2006. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Generalized hesitant fuzzy sets and their application in decision support systemGang Qian | Hai Wang | Xiangqian Feng
Volume 37, Issue , January 2013, Pages 357-365
Hesitant fuzzy sets are very useful to deal with group decision making problems when experts have a hesitation among several possible memberships for an element to a set. During the evaluating process in practice, however, these possible memberships may be not only crisp values in [0, 1], but also interval values. In this study, we extend hesitant fuzzy sets by intuitionistic fuzzy sets and refer to them as generalized hesitant fuzzy sets. Zadeh's fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets and hesitant fuzzy sets are special cases of the new fuzzy sets. We redefine some basic operations of generalized hesitant fuzzy sets, which are consistent with those of hesitant fuzzy sets. Some arithmetic operations and relationships among them are discussed as well. We further introduce the comparison law to distinguish two generalized hesitant fuzzy sets according to score function and consistency function. Besides, the proposed extension principle enables decision makers to employ aggregation operators of intuitionistic fuzzy sets to aggregate a set of generalized hesitant fuzzy sets for decision making. The rationality of applying the proposed techniques is clarified by a practical example. At last, the proposed techniques are devoted to a decision support system. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Multi-attribute group decision making models under interval type-2 fuzzy environmentWeize Wang | Xinwang Liu | Yong Qin
Volume 30, Issue , June 2012, Pages 121-128
Interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2 FSs) are a very useful means to depict the decision information in the process of decision making. In this article, we investigate the group decision making problems in which all the information provided by the decision makers (DMs) is expressed as IT2 fuzzy decision matrices, and the information about attribute weights is partially known, which may be constructed by various forms. We first use the IT2 fuzzy weighted arithmetic averaging operator to aggregate all individual IT2 fuzzy decision matrices provided by the DMs into the collective IT2 fuzzy decision matrix, then we utilize the ranking-value measure to calculate the ranking value of each attribute value and construct the ranking-value matrix of the collective IT2 fuzzy decision matrix. Based on the ranking-value matrix and the given attribute weight information, we establish some optimization models to determine the weights of attributes. Furthermore, we utilize the obtained attribute weights and the IT2 fuzzy weighted arithmetic average operator to fuse the IT2 fuzzy information in the collective IT2 fuzzy decision matrix to get the overall IT2 fuzzy values of alternatives by which the ranking of all the given alternatives can be found. Finally, we give an illustrative example. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Evidential cognitive mapsBingyi Kang | Yong Deng | Rehan Sadiq | Sankaran Mahadevan

In order to handle uncertain information, this paper proposes evidential cognitive maps (ECMs), similar to the fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs). ECMs are uncertain-graph structures for representing causal reasoning through the combination of cognitive maps and Dempster Shafer evidence theory. The framework of ECMs is developed in detail and an application to socio-economic model is used to illustrate the application of the proposed methodology. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The Carolina Panthers and Washington Redskins are set to face off this Sunday. Both teams are coming into the game off of a loss.
For the Redskins, this week's game represents the changing of the guard at the quarterback position. Rex Grossman played his way out of the starting gig and now it's John Beck's turn to take the snaps. The quarterback controversy won't go away until one of these two quarterbacks strings together a couple of good performances.
Carolina has looked good in its five losses this season, but the bottom line is that the Panthers are making it a weekly habit of finding a way to lose. Against the Redskins, the Panthers must find away to come out in the win column at home.
Let's take a look at three matchups that will play a big factor in Sunday's game.

Mandeville, as its sub-title suggests, is a novel set in the revolutionary period of English history which fascinated Godwin throughout his writing. Despite its status as a meticulously researched and detailed historical novel, however, it can be argued that the main focus of the novel is psychological. In his "Preface" to the single edition published during his lifetime, Godwin alerts the reader to the novel's connection to Charles Brockden Brown's Weiland and Joanna Baillie's play De Monfort, both of which deal with the subject of fraternal jealousy. Mandeville, despite its obvious relations to Caleb Williams, St. Leon and Fleetwood, is in many senses the darkest fiction …

Long-distance canoe race on Bayou Teche?
By Ken Grissom
BREAUX BRIDGE – Tourism professionals from four parishes met here this week to discuss the possibility of staging a canoe and kayak race on Bayou Teche from its headwaters at Port Barre to where it empties into the Atchafalaya River at Berwick.
At 124 miles, a Bayou Teche paddle race would be only the third "super marathon" in the United States and one of only a half a dozen in the world.
The two other U.S, races are the Texas Water Safari, which drew over 300 participants from 14 states and two foreign countries last year, and the AuSable River Canoe Marathon in Michigan, which had 156 racers from 11 states and four Canadian provinces.
St. Martin tourism director Dona Richard hosted a meeting with her counterparts in the other Teche Country parishes, Celeste Gomez from St. Landry, Fran Thibodeaux from Iberia and Carrie Stansberry from St. Mary.
Also attending was Breaux Bridge businessman Ray Pellerin, who has helped organized canoe races in the past through the local Kiwanis Club – and who has traveled the entire length of the Teche in his own boats.
The next step for the group will be a cruise down the entire length of the bayou in motorized craft to reconnoiter any obstacles that will have to be overcome. Pellerin said at places above Arnaudville, there used to be low-hanging electrical lines and water pipes that could pose a danger.
The biggest obstacle, however, is expected to be the debris gathering under the bridges and littering the banks.
Jacques Privat, executive director of Keep St. Martin Beautiful, has already volunteered to mount a cleanup effort in advance of the race date, which has yet to be set. And in Arnaudville, citizens working through the Chamber of Commerce are forming their own anti-litter organization, with a committee to deal specifically with the bayous.
The tourism directors also talked about going to watch the Texas Water Safari, which is held in June. More than twice as long as the Teche, the Safari has nonetheless been able to attract a lot of "ordinary" paddlers in everyday family canoes as well as the toned athletes in their slim racing craft.
The Michigan race, comparable in length to the Teche, is only for two-person C2s, a type of canoe hewing to United States Canoe Association specifications.
As envisioned so far, a Bayou Teche race would have USCA racing divisions, but to broaden the attraction it would also have divisions for aluminum canoes, standard cruisers, kayaks and pirogues.
The race would probably be "won" in less than 24 hours, but any paddlers finishing it in a long weekend, under say a 52-hour deadline, would certainly come away with bragging rights.
There could also be timed legs so paddlers could camp out and enjoy themselves instead of paddling all night like the more serious racers.
Richard and the others said they are excited about the prospect of attracting more visitors to the Teche Country, and at the same time making local people aware of what a valuable resource the bayou can be.

The first James Bond books are the rarest because fewer than 5,000 books were printed. In later years, the publisher printed upwards to 50,000 due to the unyielding demand for Ian Fleming's newest book. Purchasing a James Bond 1st edition book involves determining which book you would like and assessing the market to find out if buying it is even possible.
First Edition "Casino Royale"
There are few copies of the 1st edition of "Casino Royale", which is the first ever 007 book. The book's publisher company was hesitant to print Ian Fleming's creation, but they were ultimately convinced by Ian's brother who had previously published through the same agency. However, the first run released a mere 4,728 copies of "Casino Royale", which all sold within one month. The second and third prints sold just as quickly. Today, first editions of "Casino Royale" are rare and quite cherished by their owners.
First Edition "Live and Let Die"
"Live and Let Die" by Ian Fleming is the second 007 book. Fortunately, by the time it was released the company had a better grasp of its demand. However, the first 7,500 copies sold within a month. Though a first run with a larger number of books than "Casino Royale" makes it slightly less rare. It also does not have the same demand as the first ever James Bond book. Collectors who cannot find or afford the first edition of "Casino Royale" might want to look into purchasing "Live and Let Die" instead.
Other First Edition James Bond Books
Ian Fleming wrote 14 James Bond books, not counting short stories, comics, and other side plots. Understandably, later books with more first edition copies tend to be less rare than the first James Bond books. For example, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" has roughly 40,000 first edition copies, around nine times the number of first edition copies for "Casino Royale".
First Edition James Bond Short Stories
Nine James Bond short stories were released from 1959 to 1965. They were originally intended as outlines for a CBS James Bond show, but the network abandoned the idea after commissioning Fleming to write the script. Four of the nine stories are adapted from the television show, and the rest were added later. The last two stories were released posthumously. Although first edition 007 short stories are rare and in demand, they generally are not as rare and prized as the very first James Bond book.
Ian Fleming's Non-Bond Writing
Collectors of James Bond books and short stories may also be interested in Fleming's books and correspondence that aren't about James Bond. The reknown author also wrote "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: The Magical Car" and "The Diamond Smugglers". Occasionally, collectors may come across typed or handwritten correspondence from Fleming himself. Such letters are few and far between, but they are unique and a different way to hold onto Fleming's way with words.

Huset er velegnet til 2 personer. Køkken og badeværelse er rummelige. Den lille stue vi ikke bruge, fordi uden de tre terrasser, hvor du kan sidde / ligge!
1) I henhold til baldakin med et stort bord, beton BBQ med bestik osv forudsat.
2) En terrasse med 2 liggestole og stole (med puder).
3) Og puljen med en overdækket her 2 personer sofa.
Håndklæder osv er alle klar til brug, selv badehåndklæder, ideel.
Hunde og katte er søde og roligt, det var hyggeligt.
Supermarkeder er i nærheden og ture i området er nemme at nå (i bil), Costa Adeje (ja Lupe ADEGEE .... :)) er turistet, men der er masser af steder, Lupe og Fran udpege, hvor man kan hvile og god mad .
Lupe og Fran er meget venlige mennesker og et væld af oplysninger, man kan gøre i regionen. De begge taler godt engelsk!
Vi selv har surfet i El Medano (også sjovt at besøge), gik til Siam vand park (eller tryk) og på forskellige steder langs kysten.
Bestemt værd, pris kvalitet i dette hus er fremragende!
Het huis is uitstekend geschikt voor 2 personen. De keuken en de badkamer zijn ruim. De kleine woonkamer gebruikten wij niet, want buiten zijn 3 terrassen waar je kunt zitten / liggen!
1) Onder het afdak met een grote tafel, betonnen BBQ met bestek etc aanwezig.
2) Een patio met 2 ligbedden en stoelen (met kussens).
3) En het zwembad met hier een overdekte 2 pers ligbank.
De handdoeken etc liggen allemaal al klaar voor gebruik, zelf de strand handdoeken, ideaal dus.
De honden en katten zijn lief en rustig, dit was gezellig.
Supermarkten zijn vlakbij en uitstapjes in de regio zijn eenvoudig te bereiken (met huurauto), Costa Adeje (yes Lupe.... ADEGEE :) ) is toeristisch, maar er zijn zat plekken die Lupe en Fran aanwijzen waar men rust en lekker kan eten.
Lupe en Fran zijn zeer vriendelijke mensen en zijn een schat aan informatie wat men kan doen in de regio. Beiden spreken goed Engels!
Zelf hebben we gesurft in El Medano (ook leuk om te bezoeken), naar het Siam waterpark geweest (wel druk) en op diverse plekjes langs de kust.
Zeer zeker de moeite waard, prijs kwaliteit van dit huisje is uitstekend!
Jeg opholdt sig i huset i februar og Lupe og Fran var vidunderlige værter. De var meget hjælpsomme og havde masser af forslag til sjove ting at gøre. De tilbød også deres bistand med noget vi muligvis. Huset selv var meget charmerende og komfortable med en dejlig solrig terrasse til at nyde morgenmaden. Hunde og katte var også meget venlige og var meget underholdende at se dem spille. Det var en kort køretur til Las Gigantes, hvor du kan gå ud delfiner eller bare nyde stranden og smukke klipper. Fra huset er der en fantastisk udsigt over La Gomera samt strandene og små byer nedenfor. Jeg vil opfordre andre til at nyde deres Tenerife ferie i Lupe og Fran charmerende spansk sommerhus.
I stayed at the house in February and Lupe and Fran were wonderful hosts. They were very helpful and had lots of suggestions for fun things to do. They also offered their assistance with anything we might need. The house itself was very charming and comfortable with a lovely sunny terrace to enjoy breakfast. The dogs and cats were also very friendly and was very entertaining to watch them play. It was a short drive to Las Gigantes where you can go out dolphin watching or just enjoy the beach and beautiful cliffs. From the house is a great view of La Gomera as well as the beaches and small towns below. I would encourage others to enjoy their Tenerife vacation in Lupe and Fran's charming Spanish cottage.
After a short drive from the airport we arrived at Los Menores Adeje. The envirement was not that spectacular but when Lupe opened her door, we arrived in heaven. What a beautiful place! The garden and the small house are very stylish and cozy, the wooden terrace was great. It was all builded with so much care and love . We got the view and the black sky with lost of stars for free every day and night. Amazing. There is a nice pool too; not that big but very refreshing after a trip round the Island or a hike.
Lupe and Francisco are lovely and very helpfull; we had a wonderful time.
Just one thing: you must like dogs and cats because there are some who are very happy to see and meet you! We loved their company, they are so sweet! And because they are very well trained, they know when to stop being too enthousiastic :) Lupe's place is really wonderful.
We enjoyed wonderful days at this really unique place. Lupe and Francisco are wonderful hosts, they did everything to make our stay much comfortable and to have phantastic holidays. Their animals are so kind and likable, they make shure you have some entertainment, if you want. :-) As described, the cosy small house offers everything you need to cook your meal, have a coffee or just to relax. The garden is wonderful with a great view and the small pool invites to cool down while enjoying the great sourrounding of this area. For Dinner you can make your own barcecue, everything you need for the fire was provided. We hope to come back in the near future to this unique place on this great island.
We spent a lovely week in the small house in February. We arrived late due to flight delays and also getting a bit lost. Lupe was waiting and was extremely welcoming. She had provided enough food for breakfast the following morning as well as some tit-bits and a bottle of wine. Lupe could not have been more helpful throughout our week there.
The house is what it says on the tin - small and compact. However, it was comfortable and was sufficiently supplied with utensils, towels etc. Its redeeming feature is the ample outdoor space. Various sitting areas, shade and in the sun and a spacious outdoor cooking area. There is a decent sized plunging pool which we did not partake of but I am sure would be appreciated in hotter weather. The gardens situation is open with great views to the coast and beyond.
Lupe was regularly checking to see that all was well and offering a variety of tasty morsels.
This is an excellent place to stay if you want access to the places of interest but sufficiently distanced from the biz of the populated tourist areas.
We would return to this location and are particularly interested in Francesca and Lupe's future projects.
We had a really good time at Lupe's place. The apartment is just as neat and beautiful as the pictures suggest, and having breakfest on the terrace with a grand view is just fantastic. Our hosts were extremely sociable and even provided some homemade Mojo which was really delicious. They cared about the little problems we encountered as travellers and were always glad to help. We had a magnificent time, thanks for making this stay unforgettable! If we come back to south Tenerife, we know where to stay now.
Hello Lupe and Francisco,
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
Thank you for your kindness during my stay in your casita.
I really liked your cosy and clean house and your friendy dogs.
I hope to see you again when we move over to Tenerife.
Dear Lupe,
Thanks a lot for your great hospitality! We really enjoyed our stay. The outdoor area is beautiful and the small house is clean, tidy and cosy.
When we visit Tenerife again we will definitely stay with you.
Hans and Ulrike (Germany)
We had a great 4-day stay at Lupe's and Franciscos place during our 3-island trip.
Their place was clearly one of the hightlights of our journey, lovely decorated place and superb facilities including the tropical shower, their pool,
the sunbathing/relaxing area (great for reading and enjoying the evening) or the barbecue area which we also used for breakfast in the sun.
Lupe and Francisco did give us a really warm welcome and were always open to give us tips for nice activities, beaches but also which supermarkt would be open on sunday evening.
Lupe also has prepared a nice and big folder for guests which lists beaches and restaurants that are worthwhile visiting.
Their animals (the two retrievers Rex and Chloe and the two cats, one named Eminem) were also really nice and fun playing with, the dogs are really well educated and friendly.
Lupe and Francisco are always open for questions and really helpful. Lupe even did provide us with homemade canarian Mojos and Potatoes which really tasted so great, thank you!
Our time did pass way to fast, we are looking forward to come back soon, Micha&Nina.

When the judge asked if James Bunch's sexual battery case needed to be set for trial, all sides said yes simultaneously.
This was Monday in criminal court, just days after a Campbell County grand jury had indicted the 53 –year- old on four counts of sexual battery on a child under the age of 13.
"Is it the state's intention to try all of these cases together," asked Criminal Court Judge Shayne Sexton.
Leif Jeffers, the prosecuting attorney, told the court all of the offenses had occurred within a 24 hour time period.
A duo accused of burning a child now has a May trial date.
After being indicted by the grand jury last week on aggravated child abuse charges, Lindsay M. Norris and David C. Thomas appeared in criminal court on Monday.
While Thomas had his bond reduced by $50,000, making it $200,000, at his preliminary hearing last month, he had remained in jail. Norris, who had a $250,000 bond, was also still in jail.
Three people convicted last month of cooking meth, found themselves in the hot seat again Monday.
That is when Steven Q. Stanford, David D. Allen and Tamara L. Rasnick faced the judge to learn their punishments at their sentencing hearing in criminal court.
For Stanford, he learned that crime truly doesn't pay.
After prosecutors detailed his extensive criminal history, Judge Shayne Sexton sentenced him as persistent offender. This meant Stanford was sentenced at the maximum end of the time range for his crimes.
With politicos from around the county filing petitions to qualify for the August election, they were recently met with another batch of paperwork.
The office seekers who had previously given notice to the election commission who would serve as their treasurer filed campaign financial disclosure statements at the end of January.
This meant 21 candidates had to declare the finances of their campaigns along with expenditures if those totals exceeded $1,000. They were also to report any financial obligations, in excess of $1,000, they had made but yet to pay.
Relay for Life will have a team meeting Feb. 18 at 5:30 p.m. at Jacksboro Middle School. The Friends of Norris Lake will meet Feb. 18, at 7 p.m. at the LaFollette Community Center to review the results of a public survey on lake control measures.

|Wine maker notes
|Barolo is indeed one of the world's greatest wines, rich in history and appreciated everywhere.The production area is limited to 11 communes led by Barolo,where Michele Chiarlo owns historical vineyards. "Tortoniano" Barolo takes its name from theTortonian geological area (La Morra and Barolo), since a part of the grapes used to produce it come from Cerequio crus and a part from surrounding vineyards. Tortonian soil is characterised by sedimentary clayey marl known as SaintAgatha, interspersed with bluish-grey sandstone,which gives rise to a Barolo of exceptional elegance and endowed with marked and complex fragrances as well as a rich taste,with delicate, highly pleasing tannins.
|Food pairing
|CONSUMPTION PERIOD: a good vintage will reach its peak after 3-4 years, it ages well for up to 15 -18 years; in exceptional vintages it can age up to 20 years SERVING TEMPERATURE: 17°-18°C ACCOMPANIMENTS: red meat and game
|The Chiarlo style has always been that of producing highly elegant and complex wines, besides their propensity to an excellent longevity, in which are evident the vine's recognisability and terroir of provenance. To achieve these results we have always firstly considered the layout of vineyards in hilly zones, often impervious and in excellent terroir for every single variety. By thinning out the grape clusters, thus often sacrificing a conspicuous part of the production, the yield is programmed in light of the oenological objectives of each individual wine. In the cellar a technical staff co-ordinated by oenologists Stefano Chiarlo and Gianni Meleni pursue the aim of being faithful to the Chiarlo style: for the red wines, the moderate and very careful use of wood so that only the varietal and terroir characteristics be evident. As for Gavi, besides a particularly suitable terrain, it is fundamental that the grape yield of the generous Cortese vine be lowered, while in the cellar one of our prerogatives is a partial cryomaceration of the grapes. One of our extraordinarily successful white wines is Moscato d'Asti Nivole; a dessert wine unique for its provenance from the highly suitable hills in the Canelli area with a calcareous-marl soil rich in trace elements and with a west to south-east exposition. It is a fairly pulpy and delicate wine that makes it very enticing and pleasant. Among the red wines, we attach particular importance to the Barbera d'Asti, a wine that we have revolutionised, starting from the 1970s, by being the first to introduce malolactic fermentation. Since the end of the 1980s we then managed to raise its quality thanks to the reduction in the yields in the vineyard, bringing forth an excellently structured and harmonious wine with very evident notes of red fruit, accompanied by an attractive silkiness and freshness. This long and arduous work has enabled us to be the producers that first introduced quality Barbera d'Asti into fifty-odd new markets. Still in the 1980s, Michele Chiarlo worked tenaciously together with other prestigious producers to raise the level of the noble Barolo, making it less austere and with smoother tannins, but always maintaining intact its original characteristics and extraordinary longevity. For our Barolo the determining factor in the vineyard was the drastic reduction in the grape bunches, while in the cellar the fundamental thing was controlling the temperature of fermentation and reducing the musts contact with the skins to 15-17 days. The Tortoniano's refinement in wood occurs exclusively in large barrels, whereas for the crus 700-litre barrels are used, of which 50% new; this style of production was introduced by us in 1988 and has never changed.

Don't want to be a downer but you have to accept the fact that it will not be a serviceable quilt and probably won't be a quilt at all unless you fuse something to them. Age and sunlight and folding all break down fibers. You might consider making the unembroidered part as small as possible on the perimeters.
I inherited some squares and spent lots of time turning them into a quilt that didn't survive a year. Some fabrics are just too delicate to be used. I hope yours aren't.

Skip to comments.Raleigh City Council seeks an exemption from HB650
Posted on 12/08/2011 8:15:52 AM PST by ncdepot
Adopts Conforming Ordinance The Raleigh City Council today adopted an ordinance that members hope will be short lived. The vote brings the City Code into compliance with North Carolina State Enabling Laws.
The newly adopted State law that went into effect Dec. 1, allows the carrying of concealed weapons essentially everywhere, with the exceptions of some City-owned parks and recreational facilities. The City Council has asked the City Attorneys Office to pursue an exemption for Raleigh during the General Assemblys short session.
"While the City Council will comply with the new law, the Council members unanimously believe it is bad policy and are seeking to change the law at the first opportunity," said City Attorney Thomas McCormick.

ON FRIDAY, MSNBC's top-ranked commentator/anchor Keith Olbermann was suspended without pay for putting his money where his mouth is. Last night, MSNBC said the suspension would end tomorrow.
He admitted making donations totaling $7,200 - the maximum allowed - to three political candidates. Recipients were - to no one's surprise - all Democrats.
What's wrong with that? This is a democracy. People can support who they like, can't they?
Journalists can't, or shouldn't.
But is the talking head a journalist?
Most journalists operate under ethical constraints, and Olbermann violated MSNBC policy prohibiting any activities that "may create the appearance of a conflict of interest" or harm the person's standing "as an impartial journalist," such as making political contributions without prior approval.

Potatoes with Fleur de Sel, Butter, Grilled Sardines, and Ham
- 1 pound small potatoes
- 3 ounces butter
- Fleur de sel
- 1 pound sardines, or small fish of choice
- 1 pound ham, or other salted and cured meat
In a large pot, place the potatoes in cold water and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are fork tender, approximately 15 minutes. Remove potatoes from pot and place on a serving dish. Add butter randomly on top of potatoes and sprinkle with fleur de sel.
Preheat the grill.
Place sardines and ham on grill. The sardines will only take a few minutes to cook, approximately 3 minutes on each side. Once the ham is done remove from grill.
Divide potatoes, sardines, and ham on each plate. Sprinkle with a little fleur de sel and serve.
