WASHINGTON -- The House Majority PAC, a super PAC working to elect Democrats to the U.S. House of Representatives, collected $7.5 million last year -- double its haul at the same stage in the previous election cycle, the group announced Tuesday.
"As they witness a House GOP seemingly allergic to creating jobs or getting anything done, Democrats are both responding in a big way and recognize the continuing need to be aggressive," Andy Stone, the group's spokesman, said in a statement announcing fundraising totals.
In 2011, the super PAC raised more than $3.2 million. Democrats need a net gain of 17 seats in November's midterm elections to seize control of the GOP-led House.
Fundraising reports are due to the Federal Election Commission at month's end.

Henry Barthes, a substitute teacher who conveniently avoids any emotional connections by never staying anywhere long enough to form a bond with either his students or colleagues. A lost soul grappling with a troubled past, Henry finds himself at a public school where an apathetic student body has created a frustrated, burned-out administration. Inadvertently becoming a role model to his students, while also bonding with a runaway teen who is just as lost as he is, Henry finds that he's not alone in a life and death struggle to find beauty in a seemingly vicious and loveless world.

Hollywood has had lots to say about the American school system as of late, and whether you choose to believe the information presented to you via eye-opening documentaries like Waiting For Superman or fictional phenomenon's like Fox's Glee, it's clear that our educational institutions are out-of whack at best, broken at worst. No one has been able to depict this disheartening downward spiral quite like director Tony Kaye with his new film Detachment. In it, the reclusive auteur focuses on just a few weeks in the life of Henry Barthes, a substitute teacher who gets more than he bargained for when he takes a job at a fledgling high school, and in the process gives parents, professors and kids a much-needed wake-up call.
In this short period of time, Kaye dissects the contemporary classroom with unflinching realism. The grainy, worn film stock he uses for his verite' photography, coupled with topical subject matter ranging from child prostitution and teen suicide to parental negligence, makes the movie appear to be more a documentary than a narrative feature, but that's where Carl Lund's poetic screenplay comes in. His prose is simultaneously beautiful and brutal, effortlessly supplying existential excerpts for star Adrien Brody, darkly comic bits for fellow teacher James Caan and up-to-the-minute slanguage for the teenage students. He also uses this star-studded stage (the ensemble includes Marcia Gay Harden, Tim Blake Nelson and Christina Hendricks among many others) to touch upon the larger sociopolitical issues effecting our schools and children, lashing out at numerous initiatives/establishments like "No Child Left Behind" that we're led to believe have been implemented to increase residential property values instead of grades. Though the script begins to sound like a sermon at times, it's not intrusive enough to become distasteful. Quite simply, it's brazenly truthful.
However, excessive exposition can often hurt a film's momentum and Kaye gets unnecessarily sidetracked with the painful back-stories of his characters. Brody's Barthes is our central protagonist, so the sub-plot involving his aging, ailing grandfather is essential in defining him, but the filmmaker forces insight into the lives of almost every teacher (and a few of the students) down our throats. Individually, each vignette is heartrending but distracting; the majority of them have little connection to the main narrative. Collectively, they illustrate many of the problems that contemporary families face and, more importantly, create an emotional crescendo leading into the inevitably tragic conclusion.
The brilliance of this casual buildup to the film's climax is a nod to Kaye's storytelling aptitude. I found him utilizing the kind of in-your-face filmmaking tactics that Spike Lee made commonplace in his early movies, most noticeably with close-ups on a few actors who irritably address the camera head-on (like in Do The Right Thing). In addition, he intensifies the action with quick cuts and aggressive push-ins that elaborate on each character's crisis. Perfection clearly isn't his strong point; Kaye frames his shots sloppily at times and doesn't attempt anything groundbreaking, but maximizes the potential of tried-and-true lo-fi techniques. His stylistic abilities are second only to Brody's performance, which is subtle, sad and sweet all at once. We take an emotional and psychological plunge with the native New Yorker as he navigates a teenage wasteland of sex, drugs, violence and depression, but it's all just another day at school to America's urban youth.
Long absent since his freshman feature American History X, Detachment is a welcome return for Tony Kaye, whose commitment to the integrity of this story is marked by unrelenting bleakness in its tone and uncensored cynicism regarding the state of our schools. He doesn't portray every educator as a saint or every student as a sinner; through Brody, he imparts on us the

On the one hand, we can't get enough of the violent ballet that professional football gives us every Sunday (and Monday).
On the other, the number of cameras and recording devices that surround its stars at all times leave us with some pretty good theater.
Here are the top 10 feuds the NFL has ever known.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application 60/725,883, filed Oct. 11, 2005, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates generally to map processing systems, and particularly to methods and systems for geometry-based identification of map locations.
Various applications involve identifying and displaying geographical map locations. An exemplary application is a mobile navigation application that presents navigational information to a mobile user. Several mobile navigation systems and methods are known in the art. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,917,878, whose disclosure is incorporated herein by reference, describes a method for navigation that includes storing map data on a server. The map data includes vector information delineating roads in a map. A portion of the vector information corresponding to an area in which a user of a mobile client device is traveling is downloaded from the server to the client device. Approximate position coordinates of the user are found using a location-providing device associated with the client device. The approximate coordinates are corrected in the client device using the downloaded vector information, so as to determine a location of the user on one of the roads in the map. A navigation aid is provided to the user of the client device based on the determined location.
As another example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,898,516, whose disclosure is incorporated herein by reference, describes a method for displaying a map on a mobile client device. The method includes storing map data on a server, the map data defining objects appearing in the map and comprising vector coordinates of the objects in a predetermined frame of reference. Upon receiving at the server a request from the client device to provide a map of an area along a route on which a user of the client device is to travel, a heading of travel of the user on the route is determined, and the vector coordinates are transformed on the server into a rotated frame of reference, which is approximately aligned with the heading of the user. A portion of the map data corresponding to the area along the route and including the transformed vector coordinates is downloaded to the client device from the server. An image of the area of the map in the rotated frame of reference is rendered on the client device, based on the downloaded map data.
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for determining a map location requested by a user. The user typically enters a search query comprising one or more query terms that describe the requested map location.
A search engine attempts to match the query terms to map objects stored in an object database. The database holds a plurality of map objects with respective verbal descriptors and loci (typically expressed as a range or collection of map coordinates) of the objects. The search engine identifies in the object database one or more map objects whose descriptors contain terms that match at least one of the query terms. The search engine then processes the loci of the matched map objects to determine the requested map location, typically by finding an area of overlap of the loci.
In some embodiments, the matched map objects are rendered onto a common grid using the coordinates of the loci. Each grid is assigned a cumulative score according to the number of matched map objects that overlap the grid cell. The grid cell having the highest cumulative score is determined to be the requested map location.
In some embodiments, the search engine is part of a mobile navigation system that accepts search queries and displays navigational information to the user, such as a requested map location or a recommended driving route.
In some embodiments, the search query is entered as free text, thus reducing the amount of text to be entered by the user. Generally, the order in which the query terms appear in the query is insignificant. The search engine may apply an approximate string matching process when comparing the verbal descriptors of the map objects to the query terms. The use of approximate string matching provides tolerance to spelling mistakes and data entry errors. The free text interface and the use of approximate string matching make the methods and systems described herein particularly suitable for implementation in mobile terminals having limited interface capabilities, such as personal digital assistants (PDAs) and mobile phones.
There is therefore provided, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a computer-implemented method for determining a requested map location, including:
providing a database holding a plurality of map objects having respective descriptors and loci;
accepting a search query including one or more query terms that describe the requested map location;
identifying in the database one or more matched map objects such that the respective descriptors of the matched map objects each match at least one of the query terms; and
processing the respective loci of the matched map objects to determine the requested map location.
In an embodiment, identifying the one or more matched map objects includes identifying at least two matched map objects, and processing the respective loci includes identifying an area of overlap of the loci as the requested map location. In another embodiment, identifying the area of overlap includes rendering the respective matched map objects onto a common grid using the loci, identifying grid cells overlapped by at least one of the rendered map objects, assigning respective scores to the identified grid cells based on a number of the matched map objects that overlap each of the identified grid cells, and determining the requested map location responsively to the scores. Assigning the scores may include assigning respective weights to the matched map objects and assigning the scores to the overlapped grid cells responsively to the weights.
In another embodiment, rendering the matched map objects to the grid includes representing the grid using a dynamic data structure so as to allocate memory only to overlapped grid cells when assigning the scores. The dynamic data structure may include one or more binary search trees.
In yet another embodiment, providing the database includes representing a first map object using first logical cells having a first area and representing a second map object using second logical cells having a second area different from the first area, and rendering the respective matched map objects onto the grid includes overlaying the first and second logical cells onto the grid cells of the common grid.
In still another embodiment, identifying the one or more matched map objects includes comparing at least some of the map objects in the database to at least one of the query terms using an approximate string matching process.
In an embodiment, accepting the search query includes accepting free text input including the one or more query terms.
In another embodiment, providing the database includes associating the map objects with respective data layers, and identifying the one or more matched map objects includes searching for the one or more matched map objects only within a subset of the data layers.
In an embodiment, the method includes displaying a map including the requested map location to a user. Additionally or alternatively, the method may include providing to a user navigational instructions for traveling to the requested map location.
There is additionally provided, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, apparatus for determining a requested map location, including:
a database, which is arranged to hold a plurality of map objects having respective descriptors and loci;
a user input device, which is arranged to accept a search query including one or more query terms that describe the requested map location; and
a processor, which is arranged to identify in the database one or more matched map objects such that the respective descriptors of the matched map objects each match at least one of the query terms, and to process the respective loci of the matched map objects to determine the requested map location.
There is also provided, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a computer software product for determining a requested map location, the product including a computer-readable medium, in which program instructions are stored, which instructions, when read by a computer, cause the computer to accept a search query including one or more query terms that describe the requested map location, to identify in a database holding a plurality of map objects having respective descriptors and loci one or more matched map objects such that the respective descriptors of the matched map objects each match at least one of the query terms, and to process the respective loci of the matched map objects to determine the requested map location.
The present invention will be more fully understood from the following detailed description of the embodiments thereof, taken together with the drawings in which:
Additionally or alternatively, terminal 20 may display other types of navigational information based on search queries entered by the user. For example, the user may request terminal 20 to display a recommended driving route between an origin map location and a destination map location. In these embodiments, the user inputs two search queries defining the origin and destination map locations. Terminal 20 then processes the search queries and displays on display 36 a recommended navigation route between the origin and the destination.
The exemplary embodiment of terminal 20 shown in
In some embodiments, terminal 48 comprises a global positioning system (GPS) receiver 48, which provides the current location coordinates of the terminal to processor 40. GPS receiver 48 may comprise a separate unit external to terminal 20 or be implemented as an integral part of the terminal. Terminal 20 can use the location coordinates provided by GPS receiver 48 to provide the navigational information. For example, the user may request terminal 20 to display a recommended navigation route starting from the current location of the terminal to a desired destination map location. When terminal 20 comprises GPS receiver 48, the user may input only a single search query defining the destination map location. The map location of the origin is determined using the coordinates provided by the GPS receiver.
The configurations of terminal 20 and of system 50 shown in
Typically, processor 40 comprises a general-purpose computer, which is programmed in software to carry out the functions described herein. The software may be downloaded to the computer in electronic form, over a network, for example, or it may alternatively be supplied to the computer on tangible media, such as CD-ROM.
The map objects stored in database 44 may comprise any object that can be displayed on a map. In the description that follows, map objects are classified according to their dimensionality to point objects, polylines and polygons. Point objects comprise zero-dimensional objects such as junctions, buildings, gas stations, hotels, restaurants and other points of interest (POI). Polylines comprise objects such as streets, railway lines and rivers, which can be represented by one or more connected linear segments. Polygons comprise two-dimensional objects such as parks, lakes, neighborhoods, cities and zip-code areas. In general, each map object is represented in database 44 in terms of the locus of the object, i.e., one or more coordinates that define the location, shape, and/or area covered by the object on the map. In some embodiments, a map object may comprise a composite object comprising a combination of polylines, polygons and/or points.
Object database 44 holds a record for each map object. The record comprises textual descriptors, such as an object name and a free text description of the object. Each textual descriptor may comprise one or more words. The record may comprise additional object attributes such as a classification of the object to a particular data layer. The record also comprises the locus of the object. For example, the record of a point object comprises the location coordinates of the object on the map. For polyline objects, the record typically comprises a sequence of location coordinates defining the endpoints of the segments of the object. For polygon objects, the record typically comprises a definition of the area of the map covered by the object. The area definition can be expressed as a sequence of coordinates defining vertices of a polygon, whose interior comprises the locus of the object.
In some embodiments, map objects are associated with specific data layers. For example, all streets may be defined as a separate layer, buildings and points of interest may be considered another separate data layer. Natural landmarks such as lakes, rivers and mountains can be classified as yet another separate data layer. The geometry-based search methods described herein enable integration of the various data layers, since the query terms entered by the user may belong to any data layer. In some embodiments, the scope of the search can be confined to a desired subset of the data layers.
When entering a search query, user 24 typically specifies the requested map location in terms of nearby map objects. The user enters a search query comprising one or more query terms. Each query term comprises a keyword that describes a map object. The keywords are typically entered as free text and are separated by spaces. Unlike some known search engines that use form-based input using categorized fields, the free text interface simplifies the data entry process and reduces the number of keystrokes required. The interface is thus particularly suitable for mobile terminals having limited interface capabilities.
Unlike some known search engines in which the search query should be entered as an address having a particular order of words (i.e., number, street, city and state in a particular order), in the methods described herein the order in which the query terms appear in the search query is generally insignificant. This aspect of free text entry is useful, for example, for tourists or other users who may be unaware of locally-used address formats.
For example, if the user wishes to display a map of the intersection of Camden street and Greenland road in London, he or she may enter the search query "CAMDEN GREENLAND." The same logic applies to two-dimensional objects as well. For example, the search query "EUSTON REGENTS" can be used to specify the part of Euston road adjacent to Regents Park in London. Although each individual query term may relate to multiple map objects and locations, the intersection of all query terms is often unique and can be used to determine the requested map location.
In some embodiments, data layers are also identified by names and/or textual descriptors. The user may enter a query term describing a particular data layer in order to search for any map objects associated with the data layer. For example, the search query "RESTAURANT RIVER," wherein both RESTAURANT and RIVER comprise names of data layers, can be used to specify a search for any restaurant that is located nearby any river. The search query "CAMDEN RIVER" can be used to search for a section of Camden street adjacent to (or crossing) a river, without explicitly naming the river. Appropriate data layer definitions can be used to search, for example, for a cinema having a nearby car park and located next to a French restaurant.
Processor 40 of terminal 20 accepts the free text search query and performs a geometry-based search process in database 44, in order to determine a map location that best matches the query terms of the search query.
After accepting the search query, processor 40 searches database 44 and collects the records of all map objects whose names or other textual descriptors match at least one of the query terms. In some embodiments, processor 40 matches the query terms against the object name. Processor 40 may also match the query terms against any of the textual descriptors, such as a free text description of the object stored in the record.
In some cases, the query terms entered by the user may comprise spelling and/or data entry errors, for example when input device 32 is non-optimal for text entry, when the user is driving or when the user is a tourist who is not accustomed to the language used in object names and descriptions. In order to enable a certain tolerance to spelling and data entry errors in the search query, processor 40 may apply an approximate string matching method when matching the query terms to object names and descriptors.
Several approximate string matching methods that can be used by processor 40 are known in the art. For example, the well known Soundex algorithm comprises a phonetic method for indexing words by their sound when pronounced in English. The Soundex algorithm is described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,261,167 and 1,435,663, whose disclosures are incorporated herein by reference. Another known phonetic string matching method is the Metaphone algorithm. The Metaphone method is described, for example, by Binstock and Rex in "Metaphone: A Modern Soundex," in "Practical Algorithms for Programmers," 1st Edition, Addison-Wesley, June 1995, pages 160-170, which is incorporated herein by reference. The Metaphone method is further discussed in a paper by Philips entitled "Hanging on the Metaphone," Computer Language, (7:12), December 1990, pages 9-43, which is incorporated herein by reference. Another phonetic retrieal method is described by Gadd in "PHONIX: The Algorithm," Program, (24:4), October 1990, pages 363-366, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Some known string matching methods, often referred to as N-gram similarity methods, define the similarity between two words according to the number of 1 . . . n-letter sequences common to both words. Other methods, often referred to as edit-distance methods, define the similarity between two words according to the minimum number of insertions, deletions and substitutions needed to transform one word to the other. Several known search and comparison methods are compared and evaluated in a paper by Pfeifer et al. entitled "Retrieval Effectiveness of Proper Name Search Methods," Information Processing and Management, (32:6), November 1996, pages 667-679, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Using any suitable approximate string matching method, processor 40 searches database 44 and collects the map objects whose names and/or other textual descriptors match at least one of the query terms of the search query.
Rendering a point object typically comprises rendering a single grid cell. In some embodiments, a point object is defined as having a locus that covers several grid cells. In such embodiments, the appropriate number of grid cells is rendered onto the grid. Rendering a polyline object typically comprises rendering each of its segments. Several suitable line rendering methods that can be used for this purpose are known in the art, such as, for example, the Bresenham line drawing algorithm, described by Bresenham in "Algorithm for Computer Control of a Digital Plotter," IBM Systems Journal, 4(1), 1965, pages 25-30, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Rendering polygon objects can be implemented using any suitable polygon rendering method known in the art, such as, for example, scan-line methods that use active edge tables. An exemplary polygon rendering method is described by Bouknight in "A Procedure for Generation of Three-Dimensional Half-Toned Computer Graphics Presentations," Communications of the ACM, (13:9), September 1970, pages 527-536, which is incorporated herein by reference.
In some cases, certain grid cells are overlapped by more than a single matched object. For example,
In some embodiments, each map object is assigned a weight value indicating its significance to the search process. In these embodiments, the weight of each overlapping object is added to the cumulative score of the grid cells it overlaps. Thus, different map objects can be defined so as to contribute different weights to the cumulative scores.
After all matched map objects are rendered onto the grid and all cumulative scores are assigned, processor 40 identifies the grid cell having the highest cumulative score and identifies it as the map location requested by the search query. In the present example, grid cell 76A is the only grid cell overlapped by two objects. All other overlapped grid cells are overlapped by a single object. Thus, processor 40 identifies grid cell 76A as the requested map location.
In some embodiments, processor 40 retains and displays the matched map objects that overlap the requested map location, and discards the remaining matched objects. For example,
In some cases, matching the query terms with the map objects in database 44 may produce only a single matched map object. In such cases, the locus of the single matched map object is typically regarded as the requested map location. The single object may be rendered onto grid 68 and the grid cells overlapped by the object returned as the requested map location.
As demonstrated by
In some embodiments, the search process described above provides an estimated map location, whose accuracy is on the order of the grid cell size. The accuracy of the estimated map location is often insufficient for displaying the exact map location to the user or for navigating to the location. In these embodiments, resolving the desired map location with sufficient accuracy involves additional operations. For example, once the grid cell corresponding to the map location is found, all map objects overlapping the grid cell can be searched in order to accurately locate the desired map location within the cell. Additionally or alternatively, any other suitable method can be used to accurately determine the desired map location using the search results.
In general, the performance of the geometry-based search process described herein is affected by the size of grid cells 72 (i.e., the resolution of grid 68). On one hand, large-area grid cells enable the search process to identify and render matched objects located at grater distances from one another, e.g., a street that passes nearby a park but not directly adjacent to it. On the other hand, large-area grid cells produce a higher number of irrelevant results. Typically, larger (and fewer) grid cells enable faster computation time but the location accuracy of the results will often be lower.
Although grid 68 comprises identical size grid cells, different map objects may be defined using different size grid cells, to allow greater flexibility in the search process and to improve its performance. For example, map objects describing cities and neighborhoods can be defined using larger grid cells in comparison with the grid cells used for defining streets or buildings. In some embodiments, each map object is defined using "logical grid cells" whose size may vary from one object to another. When rendering the object onto the grid, each of the logical grid cells covers one or more of grid cells 72 of grid 68.
The implementation of the search process and its performance are also influenced by the size of grid 68, i.e., the geographical area represented by the grid. In some embodiments, grid 68 is implemented as a static memory array in a memory of processor 40. The term "static" means that memory is allocated to grid cells regardless of whether they are used (i.e., overlapped by a matched map object and assigned a score). Although this implementation is straightforward, it requires a large amount of memory in order to represent the area of interest (e.g., a city) with reasonable resolution.
In many practical cases, it is desirable to reduce the memory space used by grid 68 to remain within feasible memory space requirements. Memory size reduction is desirable when the processing is performed locally in terminal 20, as well as when the processing is performed in a remote server, such as map server 52 in the configuration of
Note that the std::map class is implemented using an approximately balanced red-black tree, as is known in the art. Red black trees are described, for example, by Cormen et al., in "Introduction to Algorithms," 2nd edition, MIT Press, Massachusetts, September 2001, pages 273-277, which is incorporated herein by reference. Red-black trees are also described by Hinze in "Constructing Red-Black Trees," Proceedings of the Workshop on Algorithmic Aspects of Advanced Programming Languages (WAAAPL'99), Pans, France, September 1999, pages 89-99, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Using the dynamic binary trees, memory is allocated only to grid cells having non-zero values. The computational complexity of adding a new grid cell or of updating the score of a grid cell is O(log[n]), wherein n denoted the total number of grid cells in the grid. The following exemplary code creates a grid object denoted grid, and adds a grid cell having the coordinates (10, 10) and a score of 0.5:
The method begins with terminal 20 accepting a search query from user 24 via input device 32, at an input step 100. Processor 40 of terminal 20 initializes grid 68, at an initialization step 102. Processor 40 splits the search query into individual query terms, at a term generation step 104.
Processor 40 now scans object database 44 and collects all map objects whose name or other textual descriptors match at least one of the query terms, at a search step 106. The matching of object names and descriptors to query terms can use an approximate string matching process, such as one of the processes cited above, in order to provide tolerance to spelling and data entry errors.
Processor 40 renders the matched map objects onto grid 68, at a rendering step 108. During the rendering process, processor 40 accumulates the cumulative scores of grid cells overlapped by the rendered map objects, as demonstrated in the examples of
In some embodiments, the geometry-based search process can be used in a process of recommending to the user a navigation route between requested origin destination map locations.
Processor 40 performs a geometry-based search process to determine the origin map location, at an origin search step 122. Processor 40 then performs another geometry-based search process to determine the destination map location, at a destination search step 124. Both search processes typically follow the method of
After determining the origin and destination map location, processor 40 determines the recommended navigation route between them, at a route generation step 126. Any suitable method for generating the recommended route can be used for this purpose. Processor 40 then displays the route to the user, typically as a sequence of maps and driving directions displayed on display 36. The processor may provide any other suitable type of navigational instructions for traveling to the destination map location.
The specific methods used for route generation and map display in the methods of
User 24 navigates the recommended route, at a navigation step 128. In some embodiments, terminal 20 uses the coordinates measured and provided by GPS receiver 48 to verify that user 24 actually follows the recommended route. Processor 40 may provide corrections and additional driving directions, as appropriate.
Although the embodiments described herein mainly refer to geometry-based searching in mobile navigation systems, the disclosed methods and systems can be used in any application that involves identification of map location or objects based on user queries. Such applications may comprise, for example, web-based mapping and location finding systems. Although the search method described above process the loci of the matched objects by rendering the objects onto a common grid, any other suitable method can be used. For example, various geometrical distance functions can be defined based on the loci of map objects.
It will thus be appreciated that the embodiments described above are cited by way of example, and that the present invention is not limited to what has been particularly shown and described hereinabove. Rather, the scope of the present invention includes both combinations and sub-combinations of the various features described hereinabove, as well as variations and modifications thereof which would occur to persons skilled in the art upon reading the foregoing description and which are not disclosed in the prior art.

War has ever exercised a great appeal on men's minds. Oscar Wilde's witticism notwithstanding this fascination cannot be attri buted simply to the wicked character of war. The demonic forces released by war have caught the artistic imagination, while sages have reflected on the enigmatic readiness of each new generation to wage war, despite the destruction, disillusion and exhaustion that war is known to bring in its train. If there never was a good war and a bad peace why did armed conflicts recur with such distressing regularity ? Was large-scale violence an intrinsic condition of Man? The answers given to such questions have differed widely: it has even been suggested that the states of war and peace are not as far removed from one another as is usually supposed. The causes of war and the interaction between war and society have long been the subject of philosophical enquiry and historical analysis. Accord ing to Thucydides no one was ever compelled to go to war; Cicero remarked how dumb were the laws in time of war, while Clausewitz's profound observation concerning the affinity between war and politics has become almost a commonplace. War being the severest test a society or state can experience historians have naturally been concerned to investigate their rela tionship.

Customer Feedback
Comments: Bought 3 of these during Black Friday for some new spinning reels of various mfgrs. in Med. size to fit 1500 - 4000 reel series. Wish I would have bought enough for all my reels, as these are the best ones made. I have tried them all. Shimano covers the entire reel to keep the dust out and is made entirely of soft protective neoprene.

Comments: Works perfectly to keep my reels from getting scratched up while traveling in the back of my pickup.

On Monday 13th July, many Reed Smith representatives and their guests were among two thousand lawyers and others in London's magnificent St Paul's Cathedral to celebrate the work of Advocates for International Development (A4ID). The event began with a speech by the Attorney General of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, Baroness Scotland QC.
The keynote speaker, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, delivered a lecture entitled "The Millennium Development Goals: A Moral Challenge", in which he discussed the importance of A4ID and commended the support that A4ID, and its associated lawyers, provide to the task of achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Reed Smith's Senior Pro Bono and Community Manager for EME, Chris Marshall, is Chair of A4ID.
A4ID is in effect a broker of free legal advice to civil society and developing country governments which are working to further the MDGs. As Chris Marshall said in his speech:
"A4ID is about building relationships. Our work mirrors the eighth Millennium Development Goal (the building of a global partnership for development). A4ID builds connections both across sectors and within them: development professional to lawyer; development professional to development professional and lawyer to lawyer. A4ID's aim is to ensure that maximum effort is focused on challenges such as … ensuring a level playing field on debt, investment, use of resources and access to medicines, tackling climate change, supporting entrepreneurs and ... securing good governance and ending corruption."
Michael Skrein, Reed Smith Pro Bono Partner for EMEA, commented:
"Reed Smith has partnered with A4ID since its establishment in 2006, when we ensured Chris Marshall's availability to spearhead the project. Since then, the firm's relationship with A4ID has gone from strength to strength and we are very pleased to have A4ID based in our London office, The Broadgate Tower. We are extremely proud of A4ID and the great work it has done for the global community. We are also very proud of the contributions of people at Reed Smith and are delighted that we are able to contribute a variety of skills to A4ID projects."
Chris Marshall added:
"We were delighted at the success of the evening. To welcome Archbishop Tutu and listen to him speak, whilst also raising the profile of the work that A4ID does was fantastic. To have lawyers from across the City of London queuing around the block to attend the lecture and, as the Attorney General pointed out, "all those lawyers; and for free" was incredible. We hope that as a result more members of the legal community are motivated to seek out their role in the global community."
About A4ID:
A4ID works with a broad range of developing countries and development NGOs to promote the UN Millennium Development Goals and take action against global poverty.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- MobFox, one of the 10 largest mobile advertising networks worldwide, has selected Treasure Data's ground-breaking Big Data as-a-Service platform to run their analytics dashboard applications. MobFox serves mobile display and video ads to more than 15,000 applications running on iPhone, Android, and Blackberry devices.
"Time is the most precious asset in our fast-moving business, and Treasure Data saved us a lot of it," said Julian Zehetmayr, CEO and Founder of MobFox. "Considering our large and increasing data volume - last month alone we added 20 billion records - it would have taken us several months to build our own data analytics system. With Treasure Data, we did it in two weeks," added Zehetmayr.
Treasure Data's Big Data-as-a-Service platform enables fast-moving, data-driven companies like MobFox to develop and scale their analytics capability in days - not weeks or months - without using scarce development resources. Hiro Yoshikawa, CEO and Co-Founder of Treasure Data, said "Companies like MobFox are transforming the way that advertisers reach their target audience, and our Big Data as-a-Service platform enables them to develop and manage their solution significantly faster at a lower cost than by using their own people and resources."
Now that the system is live, MobFox continues to benefit from Treasure Data's service-based approach. "Treasure Data is essentially our Big Data operations team: we just store and analyze data, and they take care of everything else. They are a smart, dependable team," said Zehetmayr.

Ray Davies Says Conflict Between Brother and Drummer Mick Avory Could Quash Kinks Reunion
Recent comments from The Kinks' Ray and Dave Davies have suggested that the contentious siblings are finally close to agreeing on doing a new project together in the coming year. NowRay now has revealed a major roadblock is standing in the way of a band reunion.
The 70-year-old singer/songwriter tells U.K. newspaper The Telegraph that the obstacle to reunion is Dave's refusal to play with the group's founding drummer, Mick Avory.
"I really can't play with my brother as that name, The Kinks, and not have Mick in," explains Ray. "Mick will work with him but Dave doesn't want to work with Mick. Sibling rivalry is nothing on their rivalry. I have no idea what's wrong with them."
Ray and Dave's animosity toward each other has been well documented, but Dave and Mick's mutual dislike goes way back as well. They've reportedly come to blows on numerous occasions dating at least as far back as 1965.
Asked whether the disagreement was impossible to overcome, Ray answered, "Yeah. This week it is."
Meanwhile, Ray's complicated relationship with his brother is one of the focal points of the stage musical he wrote based on The Kinks' early years. Titled Sunny Afternoon, it opened recently on London's West End.
Ray describes the production as "a song cycle about two lads who didn't really fit together." He adds, "I never really had a relationship with my brother in a normal way. But what's wonderful is the telepathy we have. Or did have."
Sunny Afternoon is playing at the Harold Pinter Theatre through January 31, 2015.
