[0001] Here, relevant background material is presented and the relation to prior art explained. The technical details of the invention is presented in the following section Detailed Description and in the research paper [?].
[0002] Shape and appearance models can be applied to solve many different problems either by using the fitted model itself or using the model to locate landmark points in images. The most successful applications to this day are the analysis of medical images and images of faces, cf. e.g. [?] for examples. Early work like e.g. the active shape models [?] modeled only the variations in shape. This work was later extended so that the models also include the variations of the appearance (i.e. the image color) as well as the shape, the active appearance models [?] (AAM).
[0003] The building of such a model is done offline on a training set of annotated objects. In the online event of a new image containing an object of the modeled category, the model parameters have to be found by fitting the model to the image data. It is in this part that the contribution of the invention lies, by proposing an algorithm that drastically improves the computational cost of this fitting. There are several methods to chose from when performing this fitting. Many of them, most notably the robust simultaneous inverse compositional algorithm introduced in [?], involves the computation of a hessian matrix at each step of the optimization.
[0004] In the following section the invention, a way to speed up the computation of certain types of image inner products where the images are in a linear space, is introduced. This type of inner product is used e.g. in the computation of the hessian mentioned above. The computation of this hessian is the most expensive step of this iterative procedure and therefore the invention has considerable impact in reducing the computational load of systems and applications for image analysis and recognition. Under normal model assumptions the difference is a factor 9 to a factor 650 for the hessian computation and a factor 3 to a factor 7 of the actual model fitting, depending on image size.
[0005] The issue of computational efficiency has been addressed previously in the literature, see for instance [?]. The efficiency enhancement described in this reference is only achieved at a considerable loss in fitting performance [?]. The present invention gives a similar speedup, while maintaining fitting accuracy.
[0006] FIG. 1 shows an example of a shape and appearance representation for a face model, including landmark points.
[0007] FIG. 2 shows an example of a system or device for obtaining images, analyzing, and responding to results from the landmark localization.
[0008] Active appearance models (AAMs) [?, ?] are linear shape and appearance models that model a specific visual phenomenon. AAMs have successfully been applied to face modeling with applications such as face synthesis, face recognition [?, ?] and even facial action recognition [?] and medical image analysis with application such as diagnostics and aiding measurement.
[0009] In the AAM framework the shape is modeled as a base shape s0 with a linear combination of shape modes Si as
S = S 0 + i = 1 m p i s i , ( 1 ) ##EQU00001##
where pi are the shape coefficients and the shape s is represented as the 2D coordinates of the v vertices of a model mesh as S=(x1, y1, . . . , xv, yv), cf. FIG. 1. We will use p to denote the vector of pi.
[0010] The appearance is modeled completely analogous as a base appearance image A0 together with a linear combination of appearance modes Ai as
A = A 0 + i = 1 n λ i A i , ( 2 ) ##EQU00002##
where λi are the appearance coefficients and an appearance image is given by the set of pixels inside the same model mesh as above. We will use λ to denote the vector of λi. The shape and appearance modes are found using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on aligned training data.
[0011] To be able to fit a model instance into an image additional parameters q are needed to describe scaling, rotation and translation. Setting
r = ( q p ) , ##EQU00003##
the warp W(r) is the piecewise affine warp from the base mesh S0 to the current AAM shape under r. Thus I(W(r)) is an image on S0 in which the pixel intensities are taken from the image I according to the warp W(r).
[0012] Simultaneous Inverse Compositional Image Alignment Algorithm
[0013] The simultaneous inverse compositional image alignment algorithm (SICIA) [?] is an algorithm for fitting the AAM to an input image I simultaneously with regards to appearance and shape. Inverse compositional signifies how the warp parameters r are updated.
[0014] The overall goal of the algorithm is to minimize the difference between the synthesized image of the model and the image I as
[ i = 0 n λ i A i - I ( W ( r ) ) ] 2 , ( 3 ) ##EQU00004##
where λ0=1 (note the summation limits). In the inverse compositional formulation the minimization of equation (3) is carried out by iteratively minimizing
[ i = 0 n ( λ i + Δλ i ) A i ( W ( Δ r ) ) - I ( W ( r ) ) ] 2 ( 4 ) ##EQU00005##
simultaneously with respect to both λ and r. Note that the update of the warp is calculated on s0 and not on the present AAM instance. The new parameters rk+1 are then given as a composition of the warp update Δrk and the present rk so that
W(rk+1)W(rk)∘W(Δrk)-1. (5)
[0015] This means the gradient of the warp is constant [?]. The appearance parameters are updated by λk+1λk+Δλk. Performing a first order Taylor expansion on expression (4) gives
[ E + ( i = 0 n λ i ∇ A i ) ∂ W ∂ r Δ r + i = 1 n A i Δλ i ] 2 , ( 6 ) ##EQU00006##
where the error image is
E = i = 0 n λ i A i - I ( W ( r ) ) . ( 7 ) ##EQU00007##
For notational convenience set
t = ( r λ ) and Δ t = ( Δ r Δλ ) . ##EQU00008##
Also define the steepest descent images as
SD Σ = ( ( i = 0 n λ i ∇ A i ) ∂ W ∂ r 1 , , ( i = 0 n λ i ∇ A i ) ∂ W ∂ r m + 4 , A 1 , , A n ) . ( 8 ) ##EQU00009##
[0016] The +4 comes from the fact that in a 2D case one needs 4 parameters in q. Using these reformulations (6) can be expressed as
[E-SD.sub.ΣΔt]2, (9)
which is minimized by
Δt=-H-1SD.sub.ΣTE, (10)
where the hessian is given by
H=SD.sub.ΣTSD.sub.Σ. (11)
[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a method for image model fitting and landmark localization is presented, the method comprising the steps of; --computation of the hessian matrix using the space defined by the image model to pre-compute the image inner products, --fitting the appearance model to image data, --storing the final model and landmark points for further use.
[0018] Yet another embodiment of the present invention, a computer program stored in a computer readable storage medium and executed in a computational unit for image model fitting and landmark localization comprising the steps of: --computation of the hessian matrix using the space defined by the image model to pre-compute the image inner products, --fitting the appearance model to image data, --storing the final model and landmark points for further use.
[0019] In another embodiment of the present invention, a system for image model fitting and landmark localization containing a computer program for image model fitting and landmark localization comprising the steps of: --computation of the hessian matrix using the space defined by the image model to pre-compute the image inner products, --fitting the appearance model to image data, --storing the final model and landmark points for further use.
[0020] In another embodiment of the present invention a system or device is used for obtaining images, analyzing, and responding to results from the landmark localization, as may be seen in FIG. 2. Such a system may include at least one image acquisition device 101 and a computational device 100.
[0021] The above mentioned and described embodiments are only given as examples and should not be limiting to the present invention. Other solutions, uses, objectives, and functions within the scope of the invention as claimed in the below described patent claims should be apparent for the person skilled in the art.
[0022] Below follows a detailed description of the invention.
[0023] Linear Space Inner Product
[0024] In this section we will detail a method of efficiently computing image inner products and show how this improves the computation of the hessian matrix in (11).
[0025] Formulating Inner Products using Linear Projections
[0026] Assume that the image I, represented as a vector, can be expressed as a linear combination of g appearance images Ai just as in equation (2). The inner product IbTIc of two such images Ib and Ic is an operation taking as many multiplications to complete as there are elements (pixels) in the vector (image). If we rewrite the inner product using the appearance image representation it becomes
i = 0 g j = 0 g λ b , i λ c , j a i , j ( 12 ) ##EQU00010##
where the scalar ai,j=AiTAj. The computations of all ai,j can be done offline since they are fixed once the appearance images Ai are chosen. Assuming that we have obtained the coefficients λb,i and λc,i the inner product can be computed using 2g2 multiplications instead of as many multiplications as there are pixels.
[0027] Linear Space Inner Product (LSIP) Applied to AAM
[0028] In one hessian calculation (n+m+4)2 number of scalar products are performed while λ stay constant. This means that the hessian calculation is very suited to be performed using the LSIP.
[0029] Studying equations (8) and (11), one sees that the hessian will have four distinct areas computation-wise.
[0030] The Upper Left Quadrant.
[0031] Here each hessian element is given by
H ij ul = ( ( k = 0 n λ k ∇ A k ) ∂ W ∂ r i ) T ( ( l = 0 n λ l ∇ A l ) ∂ W ∂ r j ) , ( 13 ) ##EQU00011##
with i,jε[1,m+4]. Analogously to Section 2(')@ we rewrite
H ij ul = k = 0 n l = 0 n λ k λ l h kl ul , i , j , ( 14 ) ##EQU00012##
h kl ul , i , j = ( ∇ A k ∂ W ∂ r i ) T ( ∇ A l ∂ W ∂ r j ) . ##EQU00013##
Moving one multiplication outside and limiting the inner summation limit gives
H ij ul = k = 0 n l = k n λ kl h kl ul , i , j , λ kl = { λ k λ l if i = j 2 λ k λ l if i ≠ j . ( 15 ) ##EQU00014##
[0032] The Lower Left and Upper Right Quadrant.
[0033] The upper right and lower left quadrants are symmetrical and therefore only the upper right quadrant will be described. The hessian elements are given by
H ij ur = ( ( k = 0 n λ k ∇ A k ) ∂ W ∂ r i ) T A j , ( 16 ) ##EQU00015##
with iε[1,m+4], jε[m+5, n+m+4]. This can be transformed into
H ij ur = k = 0 n λ k h k ur , i , j , h kl ur , i , j = ( ∇ A k ∂ W ∂ r i ) T A j . ( 17 ) ##EQU00016##
[0034] The Lower Right Quadrant.
[0035] This is simply the scalar products of the appearance images. This quadrant is therefore the identity matrix.
[0036] Theoretical Gain of Using the Linear Space Inner Product
[0037] Table 1 summarizes the time complexity of one iteration of SICIA [?]. The left column is the calculation performed and a reference to the corresponding equation (s). The first row is the computation of the error image including warping of input image and the image composite with a model appearance instance. The second step is the calculation of the steepest descent images and the third row is the scalar product of the steepest descent images and the error image. The fourth and main step is the calculation of the hessian and its inverse.
TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 Summary of the time complexity for one iteration of SICIA. Calculation SICIA-Original SICIA-LSIP E, .sub.(7) O((n + m + 4)N O((n + m + 4)N SD.sub.Σ, .sub.(8) O((n + m + 4)N O((n + m + 4)N SD.sub.ΣE, .sub.(10) O((n + m + 4)N O((n + m + 4)N H-1, .sub.(10), .sub.(11) O((n + m + 4)2N + O((m + 4)2(n/2)2 + (n + m + 4)3) (n + m + 4)3) Total O((n + m + 4)2N + O((m + 4)2(n/2)2 + (n + m)3) (n + m)3 + 4(n + m + 4)N)
[0038] The overwhelmingly largest time consumer for the original SICIA is the construction of the hessian. The computational cost is O((n+m+4)2N) where N is the size of the image. With the LSIP this task is converted to O((m+4)2 (n/2)2).
[0039] We have described the underlying method used for the present invention together with a list of embodiments. Possible application areas for the above described invention range from object recognition, face recognition, facial expression analysis, object part analysis to image synthesis and computer graphics.

In this movie, I'll show you how to whiten and brighten teeth using a combination of the Sponge and Dodge tools. And I'm going to zoom in on the model's teeth and I'm also going to switch to the retouch layer, because after all the entire mouth is masked away on the blur layer. Now I think most people's temptation is to grab the Dodge tool, because we look at teeth and we see them as being yellow, they're dingy, let's brighten them up and you start painting across a smile and that does brighten up the teeth. And that's because the teeth ultimately have too much saturation.
So I'm going to undo that modification by pressing Ctrl+Z or Command+Z on a Mac and then I'll click and hold on the Dodge tool and select the Sponge tool from the flyout menu. And notice by default the mode is set to Desaturate, so we're removing saturation from the teeth which is exactly what we want. So if I go ahead and paint over the teeth, you can see that they end up looking less dingy and also inherently whiter because we're pulling away that yellow. But a couple of problems, we're going too far with the effect, and I'm removing saturation from the lips as well which is not what I want.
Again I'll press Ctrl+Z or Command+Z on a Mac to reinstate the original teeth. What we need to do is select the teeth before we start modifying them. So if you're working along with me, go ahead and grab the Quick Selection tool and make sure you're working with a small brush or I'll press the left bracket key a couple of times to reduce it to 20 pixels in my case. And then I'll make sure that Auto Enhance is turned on and I'll go ahead and paint over the gums and teeth, so it's okay to go ahead and get the gums for this effect. In fact you want to get the gums actually.
We'll just make sure that we don't paint too far into them with the Sponge tool. And I'll go ahead and paint down toward the lip, like so, and if you end up getting a little bit of lip, actually in my case it disappeared as soon as I released the mouse button, but you can deselect with this tool as well. But say I go too far over this direction. To deselect with the Quick Selection tool you press the Alt key or the Option key on the Mac, and notice that goes ahead and shows you a minus sign inside the cursor. Go ahead and paint the stuff that you don't want to select away. And this looks like a good selection to me.
I do want to soften it a bit so I'll go up to the Select menu, choose Modify and then choose the Feather command, and I'll go with the Feather Radius value of 2 pixels, which will work pretty well regardless of the resolution of your image. Now I'll click OK in order to accept that effect. Now let's switch back to the Sponge tool, which you can get by pressing the O key, and the reason, by the way, that the Dodge, Burn, and Sponge tools have a keyboard of O, is because Photoshop regards them as the Toning tools. So I'll switch back to Sponge, make sure it's set to Desaturate.
Let's take that Flow Value down to 30% by pressing the 3 key. Make sure that Vibrance is turned on so that we're reducing the vibrance as opposed to the saturation of the teeth. And again that's important because vibrance ends up affecting low saturation colors more than high saturation colors. I'll press Ctrl+H or Command+H on the Mac to hide the Selection outline and then I will paint inside the teeth in order to remove some saturation. And if necessary, I might hit a couple of the teeth the second time, so I'll click once in that right front tooth, once in the left front tooth as well, maybe in the next lower teeth too, so that got rid of the yellow in the teeth.
Now at this point you might want to brighten up the smile a bit. So this is when you switch over to the Dodge tool, but you want to work with a very low exposure value. I'm going to press the 1 key to reduce it to 10%, and then I'll just paint along the bottom of these front teeth, like so, in order to brighten them up. And that's all there is to it. So creating a bright smile is one the easier things to pull off inside of Photoshop. Give you a sense of what we were able to do; I'll press the F12 key in order to revert to the original version of the image.
So this is the before version of that smile and this is the new radiant smile, thanks to our ability to whiten and brighten teeth using a combination of the Sponge and Dodge tools.

A "charity" who have been around for a long time and run stores. They burnt thousands, possibly millions, of Harry Potter toys because of "promoting witchcraft," ruining the christmas of many children. They also think that homosexuals are a disgrace. "The Salvation Army is a global organization dedicated to meeting human needs without discrimination in the name of Jesus Christ. " is a bullshit definition because they -DO- discriminate heavily.
The Salvation Army were meant to give those poor kids a christmas, but instead they lit a bonfire for the homeless.
by Fuck Sally. November 18, 2013
A place intended for the lower-class households to pick up some used clothing and other items at a discounted price. It seems all of the "different" kids go there now to buy vintage shirts, because you can get three for a nickel or some shxt like that. They are usually the type of kids who complain about society having "brainwashed" the preppy kids.
If you think you're cool for buying clothes at the salvation army, just remember that you're wearing somebody else's pitstained t-shirt.

Like oh my God, I just got this brand new emo shirt at the salvation army today! It's totally rad! It says "John's Pickle Shop" on the front! I think I'm going to wear it to the Dashboard concert this weekend! It will totally fit in!

A place for poor people to pick up free shit. They individuals are most likely unemployed and can't provide for their own family. Some are homeless.
Poor kid had to wear salvation army clothes.
by richgj October 14, 2007
Thrift store thats annoying to be in for more than 30 mintutes, but has great *used* clothes at good prices. If you think only poor people shop here, your wrong. If you think I'm scum because I get like 70% of my clothes from there, STFU, cause im not gifted with money like some of you material people who only worry about getting stuff from the best shops at the mall (See American Eagle and Tommy Hilfaggot).
"Those annoying emo guys need to grow up and get a life outside of thinking they have to act sad and wear cheap clothes in order to fit in."
by Livewrong March 09, 2005
A place where poor people shop. They have to go to salvation army because they're needy. They just weren't as lucky as some whos fathers could mantain a job.
Awww, poor kid had to go to salvation army cause daddy couldnt hold a job. That must be embarrassing.

Solitary fibrous tumor
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) represents a diverse group of ubiquitous rare spindle cell neoplasms that may be benign or malignant and that most frequently arises from the pleura and peritoneum and rarely from other sites such as head and neck, liver and skeletal muscle. SFT may be clinically asymptomatic or may present with enlarging mass, compressive effects depending on the site involved and rarely with paraneoplastic manifestations (osteoarthropathy or hypoglycemia).

Big Government Takeover of Education
The federal government has been moving aggressively since Jimmy Carter's invention of the Department of Education to take over the public education system in America. What was for most of our history a function handled by state and local authorities has been coming more and more under the sway of bureaucrats in Washington D.C.
As with pretty much everything you can think of, this process of federalization has been accelerated under the Obama Administration.
And as with pretty much everything the Marxists in the Obama Administration touch, it's costing more and providing less benefit to the American people.

Jittery. That's probably the best one-word explanation of the market's mood this week. However, investors in a handful of health-care stocks only wish they could be jittery. Instead, they're probably downright jaded after huge share plunges. Here are the week's most horrendous health-care performers.
Holding on
Ariad Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ARIA ) emerged as the worst of the worst over the past few days. Shares plummeted 77% this week on news that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration placed a clinical hold on the company's leukemia drug Iclusig.
The key problem is that a significant number of patients taking Iclusig developed serious arterial blood clotting. As a result of the FDA's decision to place a clinical hold on the drug, Ariad has temporarily stopped patient enrollment in clinical studies of Iclusig and reduced the dosage of the drug given to some patients in current clinical trials. The company is also changing the eligibility criteria for Iclusig studies to only accept patients who haven't experienced prior arterial thrombosis resulting in heart attack or stroke.
At this point, there have been no changes to how Iclusig is prescribed for its approved indications of resistant or intolerant chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia. However, the FDA issued a drug safety communication on Friday telling health-care providers that they should "consider for each patient, whether the benefits of Iclusig treatment are likely to exceed the risks of treatment".
Politically damaging
Shares of Acadia Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ACAD ) fell 25% this week, but it wasn't due to the FDA or another company. Instead, Acadia's woes can be attributed primarily to politics -- to be specific, the showdown in Washington over the federal debt ceiling.
For practically all of 2013, Acadia has been on a roll, racking up gains of more than 580%. That roll ended this week when concerns about an impasse on the nation's debt ceiling sent lots of stocks on a downward spiral. Biotech stocks like Acadia were hit especially hard. Some highly visible stock-pickers piled on, saying that it was time to take profits on small biotechs.
Hopes for Acadia's pimavanserin have driven shares upward. The drug is in a phase 3 clinical study as a treatment for Parkinson's disease psychosis and is in mid-stage studies for schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease psychosis. Successful results from these studies and subsequent regulatory approval could potentially lead to blockbuster status for pimavanserin down the road.
Shareholders of Idenix Pharmaceuticals (UNKNOWN: IDIX.DL ) are probably thinking, "With friends like Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ ) , who needs enemies?" Idenix shares dropped 24% this week after its partner J&J opted to buy rights to a rival's hepatitis-C drug.
J&J and Idenix collaborated together on development of an all-oral hepatitis-C regimen. This week, though, J&J announced that it acquired the rights to GlaxoSmithKline's non-structural 5A protein inhibitor GSK2336805. Although nothing has changed as of yet with the big company's relationship with Idenix, some observers, including Wells Fargo analyst Brian Abrahamas, are now speculating that the partnership between the two companies could fall apart in the days ahead.
2013 hasn't been the best of years for Idenix. In February, the company stopped development of two hepatitis-C drugs. In June, the FDA held up human testing of experimental hepatitis C drug IDX20963 because additional safety data was needed. Now, this apparent jilting by J&J has struck another blow to the stock.
Financial recovery
Which of these horrendous performers appears most likely to recover? Even though the market has seemingly given up on Ariad, I wouldn't completely write off the company yet. Idenix could also see success with its hep-C program and bounce back.
However, my hunch is that Acadia could be the one to come back most quickly. A deal on the debt ceiling will happen sooner or later. Profit-taking will only continue for a finite period of time. None of the fundamental reasons for buying Acadia have changed. I think this small biotech is one for investors to keep on their watch lists.
Biotech bonanzas
The best way to play the biotech space is to find companies that shun the status quo and instead discover revolutionary, groundbreaking technologies. In the Motley Fool's brand-new free report "2 Game-Changing Biotechs Revolutionizing the Way We Treat Cancer," find out about a new technology that Big Pharma is endorsing through partnerships, and the two companies that are set to profit from this emerging drug class.

I've made a version of this pudding... blend bananas, carob powder, and dates or maple syrup. Or you can add your favorite berries and nut butter for extra flavor! Then pop it in the freezer for 30 minutes until it's very cold. For one person, use 1/2 the recipe (2 bananas) for a smaller serving.
Alissa Cohen sells raw carob powder. It tastes great, is really smooth, and lasts quite awhile for the amount you get.
It is the best price that I found.
Hope you enjoy it!
Sounds great! Where do you get raw carob powder?

Artificial Christmas trees are the focal point of all holiday decorations and our artificial Christmas trees are sure to amaze you. We carry every size and type of tree that you could possibly want, including full trees, slim trees, pine trees, flocked trees, spruce trees, fir trees, tinsel trees, even colorful and whimsical trees. Our trees range in size from small 2-foot versions right on up to large 15-foot showpieces. These beauties are available in both unlit and pre-lit versions. Some of our special trees even feature burlap-wrapped bases, pinecones, and artificial berries.
Although each artificial tree for Christmas is very different, one thing that they all have in common is that they are made out of top quality materials and are truly built to last. When you bring home any of our trees you know that it will be a part of your home for many years to come. Browse our extensive collection until you find the one that fits in perfectly with your decorating theme.
Our collection of mid to high end fake Christmas trees will enliven your home with the proper amount of tips and filling. Faux Christmas trees come in 2 types; PVC and PE/PVC trees. PVC trees are traditional style trees with thin needles that are inherently fire retardant. PE/PVC xmas trees use plastic needles on the outside of the tree and PVC needles as filler on the interior of the tree. Some people like the sparkle and feel of the PE/PVC trees over tradional trees.
Customers also ask us the value of pre-lit Christmas trees vs. un-lit Christmas trees. Prelit trees are designed and wired to make it easy for you to set up the tree and just plug it in. There is even technology now that makes the center pole the conduit and you just drop the poles in and plug the tree in and it lights up. But we love unlit christmas trees too, and use them all the time for trees where we are showcasing a wide arrany of garland and oraments that just don't need any lighting to make them shine. Just remember to replace the bulbs on your pre-lit trees once a year to extend the life of your light strands.

New research that combines cell phone data from 15 million people in Kenya with detailed information on the regional incidence of malaria has revealed, on the largest scale so far, how human travel patterns contribute to ...
A mobile phone or mobile (also called cellphone and handphone, as well as cell phone, wireless phone, cellular phone, cell, cellular telephone, mobile telephone or cell telephone) is a long-range, electronic device used for mobile voice or data communication over a network of specialized base stations known as cell sites. In addition to the standard voice function of a mobile phone, telephone, current mobile phones may support many additional services, and accessories, such as SMS for text messaging, email, packet switching for access to the Internet, gaming, Bluetooth, infrared, camera with video recorder and MMS for sending and receiving photos and video, MP3 player, radio and GPS. Most current mobile phones connect to a cellular network consisting of switching points and base stations (cell sites) owned by a mobile network operator (the exception is satellite phones, which are mobile but not cellular).
As opposed to a radio telephone, a mobile phone offers full duplex communication, automatised calling to and paging from a public switched telephone network (PSTN), handoff (am. English) or handover (European term) during a phone call when the user moves from one cell (base station coverage area) to another. A mobile phone offers wide area service, and should not be confused with a cordless telephone, which also is a wireless phone, but only offer telephony service within a limited range, e.g. within a home or an office, through a fixed line and a base station owned by the subscriber.
The International Telecommunication Union estimated that mobile cellular subscriptions worldwide would reach approximately 4.1 billion by the end of 2008. Mobile phones have gained increased importance in the sector of Information and communication technologies for development in the 2000s and have effectively started to reach the bottom of the economic pyramid.

Tom Green was hospitalized for two broken ribs on Monday after being hit by a wave on a beach in Central America, the comedian's manager, Howard Lapides, confirmed to PEOPLE.
Green, who was released from the hospital Tuesday, calls the incident a "near death experience" on his personal Web site. The 34-year-old, Razzie-winning star of 2001's Freddy Got Fingered was standing on some rocks preparing to go fishing when "a wall of water" hit him, he writes.
"I actually tried to lean into (the wave), as if that would keep me in my footing. It was like leaning into a freight train. And I was gone. I felt my life flash before my eyes," he writes. " Milliseconds later I slammed hard onto the rocks…I could feel the cracking of bone."
Green says a local man took him to the hospital, where he was X-rayed and posed for a picture, because "a couple of the younger doctors recognized me."
Offering an update on his condition Wednesday, Green writes he's in "severe pain" but feels lucky to be alive. "It just doesn't make any sense that I am not paralyzed, or broken in more places, or dead."
Green was previously married to actress Drew Barrymore.

The Board of Selectmen on Monday approved a resolution calling on Berkshire Health Systems and state officials to better serve North County residents suffering from opioid addiction.
Two years after the closure of North Adams Regional Hospital, advocates are still pushing to expand services and bring back a "full-service hospital."
Several dozen gathered at City Hall on Monday afternoon to remind local and state officials and to send the message that they were not giving up.
"We'd like to have an elevated discussion of the issues." — Edward Driscoll
"I am going to closely partner to advocate for every single program that this incredible institution can qualify for." — U.S. Sen. Edward Markey
Part I of the series covers the years 1882-1910. In 1882, a catastrophic train accident galvanized a small group of North Adams residents to initiate the concept of a hospital, which was built with private donations and opened in March 1885.
"What I need to do is to make certain whatever comes back here is sustainable." — Mayor Richard Alcombright
"They have really made this a first-class facility." — Dr. Jonathan Cluett
"It really heartens us and gives us more incentive to keep at this." — James Lipa
"All of us care about health care and are committed to ensuring the availability of all needed services in our community." — James Lipa
"It's not about hospitals. It's not about health care. It's about health." — Ruth Blodgett
"If they are looking to have a conversation with Mr. [David] Phelps, I think we as city councilors should support them at this point." — Jennifer Breen
"We're all happy we're here and we're able to service our patients again." — Marcia Tessier
"I feel like we were elected to have opinions and show some leadership in areas that matter to the community in a significant way." — Jane Patton
The award will help fund initiatives to align with the findings of the Stroudwater Associates' health needs report for North Berkshire.
"This represents a major commitment in providing expanded and sustainable care, close to home for Northern Berkshire residents." — David Phelps
"It is really an important facet of this resolution." — Benjamin Lamb

Yukikaze (雪風?, "Snowy Wind") was a Kagerō-class destroyer in service with the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. She was the only member of her class to survive the war. The attrition rate of Japanese destroyers was extremely high due to heavy, prolonged combat and the need to use them to transport supplies to scattered Japanese island garrisons. Following the war, the ship was transferred to the Republic of China Navy where the she was renamed Tan Yang (丹陽) and served until 1966.
Design and description[edit]
The Kagerō class was an enlarged and improved version of the preceding Asashio class. Their crew numbered 240 officers and enlisted men. The ships measured 118.5 meters (388 ft 9 in) overall, with a beam of 10.8 meters (35 ft 5 in) and a draft of 3.76 meters (12 ft 4 in).[1] They displaced 2,065 metric tons (2,032 long tons) at standard load and 2,529 metric tons (2,489 long tons) at deep load.[2] The ships had two Kampon geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by three Kampon water-tube boilers. The turbines were rated at a total of 52,000 shaft horsepower (39,000 kW) for a designed speed of 35 knots (65 km/h; 40 mph). The ships had a range of 5,000 nautical miles (9,300 km; 5,800 mi) at a speed of 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph).[3]
The main armament of the Kagerō class consisted of six Type 3 127-millimeter (5.0 in) guns in three twin-gun turrets, one superfiring pair aft and one turret forward of the superstructure. They were built with four Type 96 25-millimeter (1.0 in) anti-aircraft guns in two twin-gun mounts, but more of these guns were added over the course of the war. The ships were also armed with eight 610-millimeter (24.0 in) torpedo tubes for the oxygen-fueled Type 93 "Long Lance" torpedo in two quadruple traversing mounts; one reload was carried for each tube.[2] Their anti-submarine weapons comprised 16 depth charges.[3]
Construction and career[edit]
Early in the war she took part in the invasions of the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies. She participated in the battles of Midway, Santa Cruz, Leyte Gulf, and the Philippine Sea, as well as a lengthy stint on Guadalcanal troop runs and the naval battles around that island. Yukikaze also survived Operation Ten-Go during which the battleship Yamato was sunk. Between these major engagements, Yukikaze participated in escort duty for ships in transit, particularly in the redeployment of the aircraft carrier Shinano during which the newly completed carrier was torpedoed by a USN submarine and sunk. She spent the last months of the war on security duty in Japanese harbors and survived many Allied air raids.
As a result of participating and surviving some of the most dangerous battles the IJN had fought, Yukikaze is very popular in Japan, being called "the unsinkable ship" and "the miracle ship" much like Shigure prior to that ship's sinking by USS Blackfin. Yukikaze took part in more than 10 major battles, and more than 100 escort missions and resupply transport missions during World War Ⅱ.
After the war, she was used as a transport to bring home Japanese military forces still abroad. Yukikaze, Ushio and Hibiki were the only ships to survive among the 82 Japanese destroyers built before the war.
ROCS Tan Yang[edit]
On 6 July 1947, Yukikaze was transferred to the Republic of China as a war reparation, where she was renamed Tan Yang (丹陽). She was finally scrapped in 1970, after running aground during a typhoon, and following a campaign to get her returned to Japan for preservation as a museum ship. Her rudder and one of her anchors were repatriated to Japan.
Tan Yang served as flagship of the Republic of China Navy, and between 1947 and 1953 was fitted with Type 89 12.7 cm/40 dual mounted guns, in addition to the Type 98 10cm/65 dual mounted guns already in use. In 1953, Tan Yang was refitted; all Japanese armaments were removed and replaced with three open air mounted 5"/38 caliber guns, 3"/50 caliber guns replaced the torpedo tubes, Bofors 40 mm guns, and newer depth charge launchers. The Republic of China Navy had no use for the original torpedo tubes as they did not have access to the appropriate armaments.
She is notable for transporting Chiang Kai-shek out of mainland China during the evacuation to Taiwan within the final stages of the Chinese Civil War.[citation needed]

The Augusta Chronicle
Page A04
(Copyright 1999)
newspaper has always supported Georgia Corrections
Commissioner Wayne Garner's no-nonsense policies with regard
prison inmates. There's a big perception, though,
that Garner has run
amok with regard to the new
private prison program.
Jenkins County will be
the home of Georgia's sixth private prison. Yet
this prison and two others under construction are not
being built through
state contracts!
would the Nashville-based Corrections Corp. of America
on such a seemingly risky, costly move?
Well, the CCA claims it has an "understanding" with
"the state" (through
Garner?) to fill their three
prisons and recoup their $135 million
investment. Now
guess who is Garner's longtime best friend? Oily
lobbyist Jim Hammock.
Yet Garner claims
he's had no talks with any CCA employee about the
three prisons. (If any discussion has taken place, the
law has been
broken.) State law also requires
that any contract with a private prison
firm must
be awarded through a competitive public bidding
Garner is leaving office, so what better time to
ask him and the CCA
what "understanding" there is
to circumvent legal open bidding? Gov. Roy
Barnes says he knows of no such "understanding."
The CCA already holds state contracts for two
prisons, and Hammock
boasts of having powerful friends
in the Democrat-controlled General
Assembly. So
does the nation's largest prison-building company
figure it
can just get its legislative cronies to
get competitors shoved aside so it can
from running three more prisons?
Also, did
Garner provide Hammock with secret inmate statistics
indicating a new governor would quickly need three more
prisons in order
to handle an unanticipated inmate
influx due to tightened parole board
An Atlanta newspaper reports Garner called
Hammock 48 times on his
state car phone in the 63
days after the Request for Proposal was issued
the first two prisons CCA built.
That was
before CCA got the contract -- and was a direct
violation of
the RFP language. So what other funny
business has a telephone- happy
Garner been up to?
Will he later end up working for CCA?
governor should intervene in what could be the first
scandal on his
watch. If Hammock is successful in
lobbying key lawmakers to
rubberstamp and fund the
three new prisons without competitive bidding
violation of state law, it will make a mockery of Barnes'
government" promises.
Same old Cleo..same old Cleo - finding fault with
everyone else. I'm responsible for her failure to clearly

whatever passes for it in your case). I have no doubt, you
are one of the same ilk, as those "independent
thinkers", Anderson and LT, i.e. USEFUL IDIOT OR A PAID
(now, this IS an EXCLAMATION sign).
Doc and others bought more in March. PZN has been
tadeing in a box for a while. This stock should start to

Life 95...I can easily understand your harsh
reaction to the inaccurate information (or accurate
disinformation) Cleo pushed out regarding insider selling when

although it will allow CCA to pay high rents on PZN owned
facilities). The new opportunity is PZN-owned,
government-managed facilities - something that wasn't available in
the past. That may be where the big money is in the
