Gulfstream's G250
Gulfstream acquired the super-midsize G200 when it bought Galaxy Aerospace in 2001. The aircraft offered a unique value because its ovoid fuselage actually allows for more headroom than a full-size Gulfstream GIV (with a tube that is only two inches narrower), seating for eight to 10 passengers, true transcontinental range, a 45,000-foot ceiling and a top speed of Mach 0.85.
The thin wings and smallish engines gave the aircraft good fuel economy for its size. However, they also gave the G200 poor takeoff performance when heavily loaded, gave it useful-load problems and required some fuel to be stored in the fuselage. And without more powerful engines, more aerodynamic wings that could hold all of the fuel and updated avionics, the G200 risked becoming an also ran to the competition.
The airplane inherited a long list of other problems from Galaxy that Gulfstream was largely successful in fixing: starter-generator failures; slow landing-gear actuators; jet fuel that vented into the aft equipment bay; lousy seats; a myriad of fit, finish and function troubles; and malfunctions on everything from the toilet to the ventilation system.
However, for the G200 to be a market leader, bandages weren't enough: A major redesign was in order. Four years ago, therefore, Gulfstream and Israel Aircraft Industries-which originally developed, built and assembled the G200 at its facility in Tel Aviv began working on a successor aircraft, the $24 million (2008 dollars) G250. Gulfstream unveiled the design in October 2008. The model is currently being flight-tested and certification is expected in 2011. The G250, which is also largely built and assembled by IAI (Gulfstream holds the type certificate and installs the interiors), retains the G200's positives and discards the rest. As expected, the engines, wings and avionics are all new and are predicted to enhance the aircraft's performance.
Gulfstream is replacing the engines with more powerful Honeywell HTF7250G high-efficiency turbofans, rated at 7,445 pounds of thrust each. Quieter and more fuel-efficient, they will power the G250 up to 41,000 feet in just 20 minutes and reduce cabin noise. The redesigned transonic wing considerably shortens the G250's required takeoff distance under full load. The aircraft will now be able to comfortably use 5,000-foot runways. Up front, the G250 will be guided by a PlaneView cockpit built around the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion system. It features three large, high-resolution 15-inch LCD displays and can be outfitted with synthetic and enhanced vision, enabling landings in the worst weather and the most challenging topography.
While the fuselage is unchanged from that on the G200, Gulfstream optimized it by moving all the fuel into the wings, which created more usable cabin space as well as in-flight access to the 154-cubic-foot baggage compartment. Three basic cabin layouts are available in eight-, nine- and 10-passenger configurations, including double-club and club with half-club opposite a three-place, side-facing aft divan. Overall cabin length is now 25 feet, 10 inches from the forward edge of the lavatory to the aft edge of the galley. That extra space also allowed Gulfstream to eliminate recline restrictions on the right-hand aft chair. (On the G200, adjustment of that seat is limited so as not to conflict with the emergency exit.)
More cabin room means noticeably more lavatory space as well. The lavatory is 48 inches wide on the G250 compared with just 26 inches on the G200. The G250 lav has a wardrobe closet, two large windows and a sink with a raised ledge. It also has a vacuum toilet system-a unique feature in a super-midsize business jet-powered by a vacuum generator up to 16,000 feet; above that altitude it is powered by differential air pressure.
The redesigned galley, while the same size as the one on the G200, has increased stowage space, a gasper-cooled ice drawer and a sink with slide-out work surfaces. It also has a modular design, allowing customers to specify differing locations for the positioning of things like coffeemakers, ice drawers, glassware and liquor. Another clever and important innovation is drawers that can accommodate all sizes of catering trays. Options will include espresso makers, choice of microwave or convection oven and stemware storage. The G250 cabin also has a forward closet.
Natural lighting comes from 19 cabin windows and LED lighting. In-flight entertainment packages include Iridium satcom system with three headsets, high-definition television and larger, 17-inch flat-panel standard cabin displays. LCDs bigger than 17 inches are a contemplated option.
Cabin altitude at 45,000 feet is a comfortable 7,000 feet and the G250 has Gulfstream's "100 percent fresh air system." The company has turned to Honeywell to provide all the environmental-control and cabin-pressure systems on the aircraft. The G250 employs Gulfstream's Cabin Essential architecture: All major cabin systems are redundant so that no single-point failure will compromise functionality. Gulfstream says this means "the cabin lighting always illuminates, water is always available and an entertainment source always works."
The electrical system also promises to be more reliable on the G250, incorporating large-aircraft features that include independent generators on each engine and a quieter auxiliary power unit.
Gulfstream made extensive use of various customer advisory teams that operate a broad cross-section of aircraft in the mid- to large-cabin categories. The teams met seven times before the manufacturer unveiled the final cabin configuration. Such a meticulous solicitation of customer input during the design phase significantly improves the G250's chances when it does come to market next year. The bar for super-midsize bizjets just got a little higher.

Should You Fear a Market Plummet Whenever Harry Reid Speaks?
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Your best bet is to not bet against Harry Reid. Simply ask the markets.
The U.S. Senate majority leader from Nevada emerged late Tuesday afternoon to tell reporters that it would be "extremely difficult" to address the so-called fiscal cliff before Christmas. The comment triggered a selloff in the the major U.S. equity indices late in the day.
"Harry Reid pulled an Apollo Creed , it was kind of like a quick punch to the market," said Michael Gayed, chief investment strategist at Pension Partners.
Reid's comments may have initially concerned investors as the Democrat provided the first bit of clear language about fiscal cliff talks since President Barack Obama and his administration suppressed details of discussions that had transpired with House Speaker John Boehner over the weekend.
Boehner's office hasn't offered the public any more color other than that "the lines of communication remain open" between both sides. The White House also remained silent on the issue as Press Secretary Jay Carney said on Monday that he believed the best prospect for reaching an agreement was to not read details of the conversations between Obama and head lawmakers .
Reid has stood behind the president's plan to extend middle-class tax cuts and raise rates on the top 2% of income earners throughout the fiscal cliff debate, so his suggestion that a deal may fail before the holiday break was the first signal in days from a leading Democrat that negotiations may not be going as smoothly as presumed .
Stocks finished higher on Tuesday, but Reid's comments ended the rally and the major averages never returned to their intra-day highs.
So why is it that Reid's comments jolted the market, while investors seemed to shrug at Boehner's comments earlier in the day ?
"This is one of the toughest son of a bitches you'll ever meet," said one source who has been a friend of Reid's since the politician first ran for the House of Representatives in 1982. "This is a guy who ran the Nevada Gaming Commission and effectively de-licensed the mob -- they put a contract out on his life ... his wife got in the car one day, turned the car on, and there was a bomb in it . ... He told them to go screw themselves."
The source doubted that Reid would ever back off the position to raise taxes on the wealthiest 2% of income earners -- a buzz saw issue that Boehner's Republicans have refused to agree on.
It's possible that the market ticked lower because it bet that Reid wasn't bluffing, but the indices managed to swing back, albeit not at session highs.
"Small-cap stocks, relative to large-cap stocks, are much more dependent upon U.S. domestic economic growth -- more revenue comes to small-caps than large-caps," said Gayed. "If you look at the way small-caps behaved, sure they fell after Reid's comments, but they didn't underperform; it's not like they were down more in that decline."

Natural gas has definitely less emissions than coal, but it is not completely innocent."countries, such as the U.S. and Europe, the emissions declined. Japan was the only major developed country where the emissions increased, exclusively as a result of the shutdown of nuclear power plants. They have been replaced in many cases by natural gas. Natural gas has definitely less emissions than coal, but it is not completely innocent. It does emit CO2, so as we see in the Japanese case, if more and more nuclear power plants are shut down, reaching the 2-degree target would be completely out of reach.
[Governments] shouldn't be misled with cheap gas prices and reduce their support to renewables.""Golden Rules for a Golden Age of Gas." Because doing the extraction process of shale gas, if it is not done properly, there will be methane coming to the atmosphere. And this is another important, dangerous greenhouse gas, which is a very potent one. So therefore, the suggestion is that the operators, the companies, as suggested by us, should target methane venting and minimize the flaming. This is one issue.

Tonight, you can watch the spotlight game in the NBA, Miami @ Orlando featuring you know who ... or you can watch the dog game of the night, Bucks @ Cavs.
Me, I'd probably focus more on the Miami/Orlando game if I didn't have a bet with a buddy on how many games the Cavs will win this season. Tonight's a big game toward that bet as it's a winnable game for the Cavs. They don't have too many more of those games coming up.
But is there really any reason to watch tonight's Cavs game other than, that's my team? They're going nowhere. They've been getting whipped. It's cold and dark outside now, making the games seem even worse.
Be interesting to see the Cleveland-area ratings for these games.

High Performance Computing (HPC) allows scientists and engineers to solve complex science, engineering, and business problems using applications that require high bandwidth, enhanced networking, and very high compute capabilities. AWS allows you to increase the speed of research by running high performance computing in the cloud and to reduce costs by providing Cluster Compute or Cluster GPU servers on-demand without large capital investments. You have access to a full-bisection, high bandwidth network for tightly-coupled, IO-intensive workloads, which enables you to scale out across thousands of cores for throughput-oriented applications.
This short video helps explain the benefits of running your High Performance Computing cluster jobs on Amazon Web Services. The video covers the basic benefits of running cloud infrastructure, as well as some of the unique benefits of running in the AWS cloud. You'll learn about getting instant access to thousands of Intel Xenon processors with 10Gb connections and tools to help you easily create your HPC cluster, all with a pay as you go, no upfront costs required, pricing model.
Read the HPC on AWS white paper »
High Performance Computing (HPC) on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is enabled by the Cluster Compute-optimized and GPU instance types (virtual machines). You can use them just like other EC2 instances, but they also have been specifically engineered to provide high performance networking and you can scale to tens of thousands of instances on-demand.
You can now launch C4 instances, the latest generation of Amazon EC2 Compute-optimized instances. C4 instances are designed for compute-bound workloads, such as high-traffic front-end fleets, MMO gaming, media processing, transcoding, and High Performance Computing (HPC) applications.
C4 instances are available in five sizes, offering up to 36 vCPUs. C4 instances are based on Intel Xeon E5-2666 v3 (codename Haswell) processors that run at a base frequency of 2.9 GHz, and can deliver clock speeds as high as 3.5 GHz with Intel ® Turbo Boost. Each C4 instance type is EBS-optimized by default and at no additional cost. This feature provides 500 Mbps to 4,000 Mbps of dedicated throughput to EBS above and beyond the general purpose network throughput provided to the instance.
Learn more about Amazon EC2 instance types »
P2 instances are ideally suited for machine learning, engineering simulations, computational finance, seismic analysis, molecular modeling, genomics, rendering, high performance databases, and other GPU compute workloads.
P2 instance offers 16 NVIDIA K80 GPUs with a combined 192 Gigabytes (GB) of video memory, 40,000 parallel processing cores, 70 teraflops of single precision floating point performance, over 23 teraflops of double precision floating point performance, and GPUDirect technology for higher bandwidth and lower latency peer-to-peer communication between GPUs. P2 instances also feature up to 732 GB of host memory, up to 64 vCPUs using custom Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4 (Broadwell) processors, dedicated network capacity for I/O operation, and enhanced networking through the Amazon EC2 Elastic Network Adaptor. P2 instances allow customers to build and deploy compute-intensive applications using the CUDA parallel computing platform or the OpenCL framework without up-front capital investments.
G2 instances are ideally suited for high performance graphical applications, including 3D modeling and simulation, medical and geospacial imaging, and video content delivery.
Cluster instances can be launched within a Placement Group. All instances launched within a Placement Group have low latency, full bisection, 10 Gbps bandwidth between instances. Like many other Amazon EC2 resources, Placement Groups are dynamic and are elastically scalable as needed. You can also connect multiple Placement Groups to create very large high performance computing clusters for massively parallel processing.
AWS currently supports enhanced networking capabilities using SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) for the C3 and I2 instance types. SR-IOV is a method of device virtualization that provides higher I/O performance and lower CPU utilization compared to traditional implementations. For supported Amazon EC2 instances, this feature provides higher packet per second (PPS) performance, lower inter-instance latencies, and very low network jitter.
Data has gravity; as datasets grow larger it becomes easier to move the compute closer to the data to reduce latency and increase throughput. With AWS big data storage and database services, such Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon RDS, you have the perfect place to host your data for your high performance computing cluster. Furthermore, with Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) you can create large scale parallel file systems to meet the high volume, performance, and throughput requirements of your HPC workload.
You can save time and money by leveraging Spot Instances for your HPC workloads. Spot Instances is a pricing model that enables you to bid on unused Amazon EC2 capacity at whatever price you choose. When your bid exceeds the Spot price, you gain access to the available Spot Instances and run as long as the bid exceeds the Spot Price. Historically, the Spot price has been 50% to 93% lower than the on-demand price.

Learn how to optimize scientific computing costs with Spot Instances »
AWS Marketplace is an online store that provides an easy way for developers and IT professionals to discover and use software to run in the AWS Cloud. You can find a selection of high performance computing software ready to run in your cluster, such as the Univa Grid Engine resource management system or the Intel Lustre HPC file system, with just a few clicks directly from the AWS Marketplace.

Many college students aren't working very hard or learning very much, according to recent studies, writes New York Times columnist David Brooks, who suggests value-added assessments to show how much graduates have gained.
At some point, parents are going to decide that $160,000 is too high a price if all you get is an empty credential and a fancy car-window sticker.
. . . Colleges and universities have to be able to provide prospective parents with data that will give them some sense of how much their students learn.
In 2006, the Spellings commission recommended using the Collegiate Learning Assessment. There are many other ideas out there, Brooks writes.
Some schools like Bowling Green and Portland State are doing portfolio assessments — which measure the quality of student papers and improvement over time. Some, like Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, use capstone assessment, creating a culminating project in which the students display their skills in a way that can be compared and measured.
Colleges could pick an assessment method that "suits their vision," writes Brooks.
Then they could broadcast the results to prospective parents, saying, "We may not be prestigious or as expensive as X, but here students actually learn."
. . . If you've got a student at or applying to college, ask the administrators these questions: "How much do students here learn? How do you know?"
With many different learning assessment schemes, it would be difficult to compare schools — or to add a do-they-learn metric to the all-powerful U.S. News college rankings.

About the Author: Adnan Siddiqi serves as Information Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Paris.
Throughout this weekend and heading toward today's Inauguration ceremony in Washington, the air waves, metros and sidewalk cafes of Paris have been abuzz. Media commentators, politicians, professors, corporate leaders, movers, shakers, immigrants and young people will all be focused on one historic news story -- Barack Obama's swearing-in on the Capitol's steps, live on TF1, France 2 and France 24. French bloggers will also be typing away overtime, exchanging thoughts and hopes about what lies ahead.
There are multiple reasons behind Obama-mania in France (some not entirely rational), but we're not complaining. It's nice to hear the refrain "Yes, we can" (especially in a French accent by people who barely know English). Nearly everyone in Paris seems to agree -- according to published polls as well as anecdotal feedback we get at our Embassy and Consulates -- that January 20, 2009 is a turning point, a genuine "moment historique."
President-elect Obama visited France as a candidate last July. Local media are comparing him to some historical greats: to Roosevelt and Lincoln for bravely taking on monumental challenges, and to Kennedy for his energy and uplifting oratory. At last summer's press conference at the Elysee, French president Sarkozy told Obama that "your adventure is a story which speaks to the heart of French people, to the heart of Europeans." When the election results came in on November, the City of Light lit up with posters of Obama and excited talk of "turning the page" on race. Now the much-anticipated day of "Inauguration" is here – "L'investiture" in French -- and indeed for many in France, the ceremony is an "investment" in hope, democracy and world peace.
Yesterday (Martin Luther King Jr. Day), our Embassy economic and political officers participated with French officials and scholars in a colloquium sponsored by the National Assembly's U.S.-France Friendship Group, headlined "Where are transatlantic relations headed under an Obama presidency?" The mood was upbeat, the sense of hope and optimism palpable.
Today, many of us from the Mission will be heading toward the Mayor's office for a gala event being described as "the hottest ticket in town" – a live transmission of Inauguration on large screens at the historic Hotel de Ville, followed by speeches and a concert by the Golden Gate quartet. More than 1300 French guests, including 90 journalists will attend the event, sponsored by the city of Paris in partnership with Democrats and Republicans Abroad.
For those Parisians who can't get into either of the above events, they will still have plenty of venues to choose from, according to This French Life. Several restaurants and bars in exclusive neighborhoods are advertising themselves as the "place to be" to watch the live transmission from Washington and to share a glass of champagne. For those more soberly minded, the American Church in Paris is offering a special worship service and a gospel choir. And for the espresso-sipping intellectual crowd, the American Library of Paris is offering a book display and panel discussion chaired by a leading political analyst. Political discussions and festivities are expected to continue into the night, not only in the capital, but also in Marseille, Toulouse, Avignon and Strasbourg. All in all, it promises to be a remarkable day in France, or as the banners flying in Cannes joyfully claim: "Yes, we Cannes!"
SNP in Syria writes:
Who said Mossad can not pick a hay stack right. They messed up on few clandestine bombings but they sure know how to get people into power, even in Russia and New Zealand.
REG in France writes:
Well said, Adnan.
From my observation spot out in western France, Brittany, the "Obama-Mania" was just as obvious. People just couldn't stop talking about the new President Obama. And with great excitement and optimism.
By the way, I think having State Department employees share their thoughts and observations in a highly personalized manner -- like "real people" -- in this blog, "Dipnotes," is a wonderful idea. I hope everybody at State will keep it up. This is the kind of thing that needs to happen.
(And isn't it GREAT to live in France!)
Nice work!

Vacation Planning
Riviera Maya Ruin Sites
Health Matters
Weather Or Not
Excursions - Moderate Active
Yucatecan and Regional Food
Because the Yucatan Peninsula was surrounded on 3 sides by water and by an impenetrable forest on the fourth southern side, the Yucatan was influenced more by the Caribbean islands and Europe than by Mexico. As a result, Yucateca food is distinct and separate from what is commonly called Mexican food.
Be adventurous!
Don't be afraid to try some of these unique, delicious region foods!
Carne Asada
- charcoal grilled pork or beef
- fish, shrimp, conch (or a combination) marinated with limon, vinegar, onions, tomatoes and cilantro.
Chuleta Yucateca
- Pork chop marinated in red adobado then grilled and smothered with sautéed onions
- the spice known in the USA as coriander
Cochinita Pib
il - pork marinated in a sauce of achiote, natural orange juice and spices, wrapped in fresh banana leaves, and slowly steamed to perfection.
- a slightly burnt and delicious form of custard
Frijole con Puerco
- A delicious local dish normally served on Mondays consisting of soupy black beans cooked with chunks of pork. It's served with chopped radish, avacado, onion and cilantro as garnish and steamed rice.
- a cold soft drink made of rice or barley, almonds, sugar, vanilla and water
- red snapper - usually served whole
- (ha-MY-ka) a delicious soft drink made from brewed flower petals
- fresh grouper usually served filet style
Mojo de Ajo
- fish, coch (konk) or shrimp served in butter and garlic sauce
- chicken or turkey meat or enchiladas baked in a thick spicy brown sauce made of almonds, chocolate chipotle peppers and peanut oil
Platano Frito
- greasy but tasty fried bananas
Queso "Gallo"
- a Holland cheese (we call it Gouda) that has been imported to the Yucatan for so many years that it is now considered indigenous to the area.
Queso Relleno
- seasoned, ground pork/beef formed into a round "loaf", completely surrounded in softened Queso Gallo and then wrapped in cheesecloth for cooking. Served in round slices covered in cream sauce.
- chicken wrapped in a heavy dough and cooked in banana leaves
Insider's Secret Preparations!
Ixnepech (Dog Snout) Salsa
A Mayan salsa (schnee-peck) that supposedly gets its name because it's so hot that it can make your nose run.
It is best prepared fresh daily and appears daily on most Yucatecan dining tables to accompany all meals.
2 fresh chopped habenero peppers or 2 fresh jalepeno or 3 serrano chiles
( stems and seeds removed)
2 medium tomatoes - chopped
1 medium purple or white onion - chopped
1/3 C. fresh squeezed lime juice
3 Tablespoons fresh cilantro
Combine all and let stand 2 -3 hours for best flavor.
Agua Fresca
If you have traveled through Mexico, you have probably seen these refreshing fruit drinks sold on street corners. We've used melon in this recipe, but almost any fruit can be used. Just be sure to adjust for the amount of sugar, which will depend on the sweetness of the fruit.
3 cups of cubed fresh melon (cantaloupe, honeydew, or watermelon)
4 tablespoons of sugar
3 tablespoons of lime juice, fresh preferred
1 quart of water
Melon sliced for garnish
Watch for new recipes!!
Background on Pibil Style Dishes
Throughout the Yucatan chicken, pork and fish will often be prepared "pibil" style which means the meat has been flavored with a red seasoning paste or recado rojo. Recado rojo consists of several local spices including red annatto seeds which adds the red color and a unique flavor. Recado Rojo is available commercially in most latino style markets and will be known as as achiote paste.
Cochinita Pibil
One of the most famous dishes from the Yucatan is Cochinita Pibil or Pork cooked pibil style. Traditionally this pre-Columbian dish called for wild boar to be covered with local seasoning and spices, wrapped in banana leaves and cooked in a stone-lined, coal-filled pit. This method of cooking would bake/steam the boar while at the same time infuse the meat with the flavor of the banana leaves and spices.
Cochinita Pibil remains one of the most popular dishes in the Yucatan despite the fact that it is generally not prepared in the traditional method. Ovens have replaced pits and domesticated pig introduced by the Spanish has replaced wild boar but the seasonings remain virutally the same and most households/restaurants still wrap the meat in banana leaves before cooking.
10 whole black peppercorns
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
5 cloves garlic
3 Tbs achiote paste [common in latino markets]
1 tsp dried Mexican oregano
2 bay leaves
1/3 C. bitter orange juice OR lime juice
2 lbs. lean port cut into 2 inch cubes
3 fresh banana chiles
1 sliced purple onion
String Banana Leaves or Aluminum Foil
Place peppercorns & cumin seeds in grinder and process to a fine powder.
Combine the powder with the garlic in a blender/processor and puree.
Add to the puree the achiote paste, oregano, bay leaves and orange/lime juice and blend well.
Pour this marinade over the pork cubes and marinade for at least 3 hours or overnight if possible.
Cut 2 pieces of string long enough to fit around a roasting pan.
Lay the strings on the bottom of the pan Cut the banana leaves in pieces to fit the pan and line the pan with them.
Place the pork, including the marinade [discard bay leaves] on top of the banana leaves.
Top with chiles and onion Fold the banana leaves over the meat and tie the strings.
Cover the pan and bake at 325F for 1.5 hours.
Serve with tortillas, refried beans and habanero salsa.
SERVES: 4-6 servings

Our Family took both Island Cuisine Cooking Classes and we learned several basic salsas and entree items. We were able to add new Mexican dishes to our table at home. Sherri, offers wonderful cooking classes for couples, friends, and families that want to learn about Mexican Cuisine. We learned to make Mango Black Bean Salsa, which is a wonderful treat with chips, baked chicken or as a summer salad. We prepared fresh Pico de Gallo and Salsa Verde just like Mexican Restaurants. We, also discovered how to make a traditional Chicken Pibil. We enjoyed eating all of the wonderful food that was created in class. These authentic Mexican Dishes have been added to our Family Cookbook.

A quick note to say how much our entire family enjoyed the Island Cuisine "Parade of Salsas" cooking class! The recipes were demonstrated and explained well by the instructor and all of the helpful tips provided in the demonstrations have really come in handy now that we are back home and using your cook book. Everything we prepared was delicious and the best part was sharing the salsas afterward as we relaxed by the pool. The class was great and we can't wait to come back and try the Main Course class next time! Thanks again for a great experience for our family.

Meeting Description:
Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA)
2nd UIMA
GSCL Workshop
September 30, 2009
Potsdam, Germany
For many decades, NLP has suffered from low software engineering standards
causing a limited degree of re-usability of code and interoperability of
different modules within larger NLP systems. While this did not really hamper
success in limited task areas (such as implementing a parser), it caused serious
problems for the emerging field of language technology where the focus is on
building complex integrated software systems, e.g., for information extraction
or machine translation. This lack of integration has led to duplicated software
development, work-arounds for programs written in different (versions of)
programming languages, and ad-hoc tweaking of interfaces between modules
developed at different sites.
In recent years, the Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA)
framework has been proposed as a middleware platform, which offers integration
by design through common type systems and standardized communication methods for
components analysing streams of unstructured information, such as natural
language. The UIMA framework offers a solid processing infrastructure that
allows developers to concentrate on the implementation of the actual analytics
components. An increasing number of members of the NLP community thus have
adopted UIMA as a platform facilitating the creation of reusable NLP components
that can be assembled to address different NLP tasks depending on their order,
combination and configuration.
This workshop aims at bringing together members of the NLP community that are
users, developers or providers of either UIMA components or UIMA-related tools
in order to explore and discuss the opportunities and challenges in using UIMA
as a platform for modern, well-engineered NLP. In the context of an emerging
NLP-oriented UIMA community, the challenge to create not only reusable, but also
interoperable components raises particular interest. From a methodological
perspective, interoperability relies largely on UIMA type systems. Technically,
it includes issues related to the packaging and distribution of UIMA components.
Also, tools are important, for example to assemble complex processing work
flows, to manage the bodies of data that are to be analysed and to visualize,
explore, and further deploy the analysis results. Finally, interoperability is
also affected by legal issues, such as potentially incompatible licenses of
components and tools.
The availability of ready-to-use components plays a major role in choosing UIMA
over other alternatives. To accentuate this, the workshop puts a focus on
UIMA-based components and tools that are freely available for research.
Call for Papers
Participants are invited to present applications realized using UIMA, general
experiences using UIMA as a platform for natural language processing, as well as
technical papers on particular aspects of the UIMA framework. Alternatives to
and comparisons of other frameworks with UIMA are of interest, too. More
specifically, workshop topics include, but are not limited to:
-UIMA components with a special focus on genericity and type-system independence
-Repositories of ready-to-use UIMA-based components
-(Generic) type systems for UIMA
-Distribution of UIMA components: documentation, licensing and packaging
-Sophisticated tools to build and manage complex processing pipelines
-Experience reports combining UIMA-based components from different sources, as
well as solutions to interoperability issues
-Processing of very large data collections: scale-out, parallelization, and
performance optimization
-Analysis of results: exploration, evaluation, visualization, and
statistical analysis
-Developing for UIMA: simplified APIs, debugging, unit testing, and
limitations of UIMA
We invite submissions of full papers, limited to 8 pages of text, and position
papers or papers describing ongoing work as short papers, limited to 4 pages.
Both kinds of papers will be orally presented. Double submissions (whether
verbatim or in essence) should indicate this fact and name the workshop or
conference event also addressed. Reviewing will not be anonymous but authors
wishing to keep their anonymity may hide their identity on demand.
All submissions must be in English and follow the Springer LNCS style [1] and
should be created using LaTeX. Submissions must be sent in PDF format to

We love what this cookbook does for our taste buds and our wallets.
It�s rare that you see the words poor and gourmet together; however, blogger and author of Poor Girl Gourmet Amy McCoy manages to wrangle these two words into a practical cookbook for the girl with a tight budget and lavish taste buds.
As a lover of food and former student at Boston University where she earned a certificate in cheese studies, Amy McCoy decided to make gourmet food available to any home-cook regardless of budget.� Her cookbook focuses on keeping the menu choices under $15. We were shocked to see that items other than pasta made this list such as her Roasted Chicken Legs with Olives, which combines readily available chicken legs with good-quality olives to complete this Italian dish.
This relatable and hilariously written cookbook is laid out by type of dish with each recipe complete with a cost breakdown including the price of each ingredient at full price; however, she urges readers to buy meat on sale to further cut cost and allow space in the budget for dessert like her Expresso Granita with comes in at just $1.57 using leftover coffee.
The back of her cookbook includes menu suggestions coming in at under $15�that�s an entr�e and side dishes for under $15 for a meal for four! For special occasions, she includes menu suggestions for �splurge� evenings, yet these splurges still come in under $30, significantly less than you would spend at a restaurant. She even tries to curb your cravings for take-out by including recipes inspired by her favorite take-out items such as this Ginger-Soy Sirloin Tip Stir-Fry:

If you�re looking for delicious food on a poor girl�s budget, this cookbook is it.
You can find more of Amy at her blog Poor Girl Gourmet.

Skip to comments.Fears for ailing Hillary Clintons rush to bedside amid brain clot
Posted on 01/01/2013 6:57:59 AM PST by COUNTrecount
Doctors treating Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton revealed yesterday that she had a life-threatening blood clot near her brain.
The disturbing news came as a clearly anguished Chelsea Clinton visited her moms bedside along with her dad, former President Bill Clinton, whose concern was etched on his face as he left New York Presbyterian Hospital.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Her Cankles' Butt has its own zipcode, like Her Lardass' Butt in the White Hut/Crib. Things that massive and unbounded are bound to have some stray clots, somewhere in those vast and unmapped territories. LOL.
"I wonder what tropical island he is enjoying his wealth on. Look for something similar with the she-devil. "
Find Huma, find Hillary.
The guy looks like Secret Service.
BJ was going to be vacationing in Punta Cana in the Dominican
Republic with Hillary! so he's probably on the phone
cancelling his extra marital "activities" schedule.
That's why he looks so distressed.
However, Matt Lauer may need a job soon.
Her Brain?
I thought vein problems in that area were called hemorrhoids.
She's still in a lot better shape than her staff in Benghazi.
BJ never released his health records as well.
Most presidents and candidates for the presidency DO release
their health records.
The Clintons may not have what any of *us* think of as an ideal marriage, or even marriage in the traditional sense, but it works for them, especially for HIM. So long as Hillary is around, his lawful wedded wife, and for so long as she condones his behavior and looks the other way, he has the best of all worlds. He can act like an alley cat, and any/all of his partners know just what the relationship is .. passing. There's never any pressure from the 'lovers' for him to develop a serious, lasting relationship. It can be all about, and only about, the sex. That is his perfect world.
turn off the auto fill....;)
"I always thought an oncologist was a cancer specialist........"
You are right, I'm under the care of an oncologist for 1 more year. He was in charge of my radiation treatments.
"I think of you every time I hear black guys pee"
"Blackeyed Peas!"
"Yea, baby. She's real sick. Don't know when she might get out. I'm stopping to pick up some Chinese. Put on that special thing I like, then I'll be right over."
Don't doubt it!
Ok, I get it now - seriously, I had thought it was a facelift, but now I see - my best friend had the same thing - fell over one day in her apartment, washing dishes - the downstairs neighbors alerted someone when the water leaked down to their apartment - they found her unconscious on the floor. At the hospital they discovered a brain tumor. She was dead a year later - a terrible way to go. You go blind and loose your mind.
Let them lie in the fetid bed they've made for themselves. I have no sympathy for either of them.
"Duh-duh-duh-don't t-t-t-t-tell my muh-muh-muh-muh-mother, Nuh-Nuh-Nuh-Nurse Kuh-Kuh-Kuh-Kabumpo!"
Billy Bibb, The Cuckoo's Nest
Yes, did you read my comments at 16 before you posted back to me? Because I pretty much said the same, plus that this non-Hillary med team oncologist also happens to be a hematologist.
Oh heck, I'll copy and paste it here for you:
"Figure that the NY Post is surfing for doctors. Earlier they make mention of Hillarys medical team. Straus wasnt listed. Just for fun, a quick google shows hes a hematologist and oncologiist in Chappaqua
They also quoted a neurologist from UC-San Diego..."
Obviously Staged............... amounts to bad theater and enter the VITCTIM syndrome. With this she will get off the hook.
Here is another thought on the subject:
Clinton Injured, US Navy Seal Killed In Secret US Mission To Iran?
I would think that with blood clots, a Rheumatologist would have been called in.
Prayers for you........
Lots of hospital tests are abused. There big money in MRI tests - with the side benefit it protects doctors from being sued for malpractice. Medical care at the 'ordinary people' level is tacky sleazy stuff.
At the Clinton (elite liberal) level he might be right...
One wonders if Hilda is being Fosterized.
An oncologist is a specialist in cancer. They should talk to neurologist.
You mean like not being able to remember that you multi-posted 24 times?
I think she may have a slow-growing brain tumor, as she has appeared to look worse and worse over the recent year or two. If not that, there is something else wrong with her that needs a diagnosis along with the supposed blood clot.
It all depends on the punctuation... ;-)
I apologize to everyone - I'm often out and about reading FR on my android phone and when I post it doesn't look as though the action was completed.
I apologize to everyone - I'm often out and about reading FR on my android phone and when I post it doesn't look as though the action was completed.
I was thinking you were either in an earthquake or your key was stuck. LOL. Take the award and frame it!
I expect the EEG showed some of that hard layer that forms on top of JELL-O. It could look like a clot.
She's a typical elderly hippie-chic, I've seen a lot of them. But looks aren't everything...I'm sure she smells as bad as she looks.
Perfect. Ding ding ding ding!!!! We have a winner!!!!
Opps, sorry.
My husband's cancer mestasticized in his brain the second week of June and he died the last week of August. You have an accurate time line there.
I confused him with James McDougal. Understandable, really.
Good point.

Versions available for this page: CUBRID 8.3.1 | CUBRID 8.4.0 | CUBRID 8.4.1 | CUBRID 8.4.3 | CUBRID 9.0.0 |
You can load a database by using the cubrid loaddb utility in the following situations:
In general, the cubrid loaddb utility uses files (schema definition, object input, and index definition files) created by the cubrid unloaddb utility .
cubrid loaddb [ options ] database_name
[ options ]
-u | -p | -l | -v | -c | -s | -i | -d |
--user | --password | --load-only | --verbose | --periodic-commit | --schema-file | --index-file | --data-file | --data-file-check-only | --estimated-size | --no-oid | --no-statistics | --ignore-class-file | --error-control-file | --no-logging
Return values of cubrid loaddb utility are as follows:
The following table shows options available with the cubrid loaddb utility (options are case sensitive).
Enters the database user's account. The default value is PUBLIC.
Enters the database user's password.
Skips checking statements and types included in the object file and loads records.
Displays detailed information on the data loading status on the screen.
Commits the transaction whenever a specified number of records has been entered.
Specifies the schema file created by the unload operation and performs schema loading.
Specifies the index file created by the unload operation and loads indexes.
Specifies the data file created by the unload operation and loads records.
Performs checking only for statements and types included in the data file, but does not load records.
Specifies the number of records expected.
Ignores the OID reference relationship included in the data file and loads records.
Loads records without updating database statistics information.
Specifies the ignoring classes.
Specifies the file that describes how to handle specific errors occurring during data loading.
Can load data quickly during execution because transaction logs are stored; however, it has risk, which data cannot be recovered in case of error occurred. Thus, you should read the messages in the Remarks section below in this page carefully.
Entering a user account (-u or --user)
The -u option specifies the user account of a database where records are loaded. If the option is not specified, the default value is PUBLIC.
cubrid loaddb -u admin -d demodb_objects newdb
Entering the password (-p or --password)
The -p option specifies the password of a database user who will load records. If the option is not specified, you will be prompted to enter the password.
cubrid loaddb -p admin -d demodb_objects newdb
Loading records without checking syntax (-l or --load-only)
The -l option loads data directly without checking the syntax for the data to be loaded. The following example shows how to load data included in demodb_objects to newdb.
If the -l option is used, loading speed increases because data is loaded without checking the syntax included in demodb_objects, but an error might occur.
cubrid loaddb -l -d demodb_objects newdb
Displaying the loading status information (-v or --verbose)
The following example shows how to display detailed information on the tables and records of the database being loaded while the database loading operation is performed. You can check the detailed information such as the progress level, the class being loaded and the number of records entered by using the -v option.
cubrid loaddb -v -d demodb_objects newdb
Configuring the commit interval (-c or --periodic-commit)
The following command performs commit regularly every time 100 records are entered into the newdb by using the -c option. If the -c option is not specified, all records included in demodb_objects are loaded to newdb before the transaction is committed. If the -c option is used together with the -s or -i option, commit is performed regularly every time 100 DDL statements are loaded. The recommended commit interval varies depending on the data to be loaded. It is recommended that the parameter of the -c option be configured to 50 for schema loading, 1,000 for record loading, and 1 for index loading.
cubrid loaddb -c 100 -d demodb_objects newdb
Schema loading (-s or --schema-file)
The following statement loads the schema information defined in demodb into the newly created newdb database. demodb_schema is a file created by the unload operation and contains the schema information of the unloaded database. You can load the actual records after loading the schema information first by using the -s option.
cubrid loaddb -u dba -s demodb_schema newdb
Start schema loading.
Total 86 statements executed.
Schema loading from demodb_schema finished.
Statistics for Catalog classes have been updated.
The following satement loads the triggers defined in demodb into the newly created newdb database. demodb_trigger is a file created by the unload operation and contains the trigger information of the unloaded database. It is recommended to load the schema information after loading the records.
cubrid loaddb -u dba -s demodb_trigger newdb
Index loading (-i or --index-file)
The following command loads the index information defined in demodb into the newly created newdb database. demo_indexes is a file created by the unload operation and contains the index information of the unloaded database. You can create indexes after loading records by using the -i option together with the -d option.
cubrid loaddb -u dba -i demodb_indexes newdb
Data loading (-d or -data-file)
The following command loads the record information into newdb by specifying the data file or the user-defined object file with the -d option. demodb_objects is either an object file created by the unload operation or a user-defined object file written by the user for mass data loading.
cubrid loaddb -u dba -d demodb_objects newdb
Checking the syntax for the data to be loaded only (--data-file-check-only)
The following is a command that checks the statements for the data contained in demodb_objects by using the --data-file-check-only option. Therefore, the execution of the command below does not load records.
cubrid loaddb --data-file-check-only -d demodb_objects newdb
Number of expected records (--estimated-size)
The --estimated-size option can be used to improve loading performance when the number of records to be unloaded exceeds the default value of 5,000. That is, you can improve the load performance by assigning large hash memory for record storage with this option.
cubrid loaddb --estimated-size 8000 -d demodb_objects newdb
Loading records while ignoring the reference relationship (--no-oid)
The following is a command that loads records into newdb ignoring the OIDs in demodb_objects.
cubrid loaddb --no-oid -d demodb_objects newdb
Loading records without updating statistics information (--no-statistics)
The following is a command that does not update the statistics information of newdb after loading demodb_objects. It is useful especially when small data is loaded to a relatively big database; you can improve the load performance by using this command.
cubrid loaddb --no-statistics -d demodb_objects newdb
Specifying the ignoring classes (--ignore-class-file)
You can specify a file that lists classes to be ignored during loading records. All records of classes except ones specified in the file will be loaded.
cubrid loaddb --ignore-class-file=skip_class_list -d demodb_objects newdb
Specifying the error information file (--error-control-file)
This option specifies the file describing how to handle specific errors occurring during database loading.
cubrid loaddb --error-control-file=error_test -d demodb_objects newdb
The --no-logging option enables to load data file quickly when loaddb is executed by not storing transaction logs; however, it has risk, which data cannot be recovered in case of errors occurred such as incorrect file format or system failure. In this case, you must rebuild database to solve the problem. Thus, in general, it is not recommended to use this option exception of building a new database which does not require data recovery.

The 28 year-old suffered severe burns after attacking the arachnid with an aerosol can at his home in Clacton in Essex.The man was summoned by his wife to deal with a spider she had seen scuttling behind the lavatory on Bank Holiday Monday. Not being able to reach it, the man decided to kill it by spraying it with the can. However he was unable to see whether it was dead because the bulb in the bathroom light had blown. At this point he turned to a cigarette lighter to illuminate the room, but in the process ignited the gas fumes and caused an explosion.The blast was so strong it blew the man off his feet and lifted the loft door off its hinges.

Mustard-Roasted Fish
- 4 (8-ounce) fish fillets such as red snapper
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 ounces creme fraiche
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons minced shallots
- 2 teaspoons drained capers
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. (You can also use an ovenproof baking dish.) Place the fish fillets skin side down on the sheet pan. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
Combine the creme fraiche, 2 mustards, shallots, capers, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Spoon the sauce evenly over the fish fillets, making sure the fish is completely covered. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until it's barely done. (The fish will flake easily at the thickest part when it's done.) Be sure not to overcook it! Serve hot or at room temperature with the sauce from the pan spooned over the top.

Garden Tools Supplies
At Williams-Sonoma, we think that growing your own produce is a great idea. In fact, well-known chefs have been doing it for decades. Thanks to our garden supplies, cultivating your own organic vegetables, fruit and herbs can be easy, even for busy individuals. We provide the high-quality tools needed for taking care of plants and then harvesting the fruits of your labor. Using a mortar and pestle, ground fresh herbs can really bring homemade vinaigrettes, sauces, oil infusions and soups to life.
Our professional garden hoses coil effortlessly for quick storage, and have the length you need to reach all of your plants. Choose a 50' or 100' hose, depending on the size of your lawn or patch. These pieces are lightweight at only 3 pounds per 50' section, yet strong and flexible year-round. And since they're BPA- and phthalate-free, you can use them safely with any produce. From leather work gloves and wire containers for potatoes and onions to organic soil products, we offer products to make your job easier. Our Gathering Basket is useful for picking everything from ripe tomatoes to fresh herbs. Just take them straight from garden to kitchen to use in your favorite recipes. For the best results when adding fresh herbs to dishes, try utilizing herb tools. For example, a chef's knife is ideal for cutting up veggies and proteins and can save you a lot of time.
