generative models, assume vectors are distributed according to some distribution
discriminative models, just treat vectors as inputs in some high dimensional space and learn a classifier
IR problems give rise to very high dimensional and sparse classification problems
kernel methods may help (more features than objects)
also: sparse matrices etc.
how do machine learning, classifiers and information retrieval fit together?
can we learn the mapping: query->result set directly?
usually machine learning is used not for solving retrieval directly, but solving related problems, learn relevance of terms, learn a better scoring function, extract features from terms and determine relevance for the result set, perform clustering on the result set and show only representatives from each cluster (since the rest of the objects in the cluster are very similar), organize the database so that retrieval is faster, perform query expansion, find synonyms in queries, learn document zones etc., relevance feedback
applying machine learning, to apply machine learning, you need..., features, training data, the ability to generalize across samples (can't generalize from "cat" to "dog" without additional information)
learning a better scoring function, perform query as usual, using cosine scoring, normally, we just rank based on the cosine score, but maybe we can improve it, what additional information do we have?, document frequencies, term frequencies for query terms, term frequencies in document, semantic information about query terms, category / class of document (e.g., from clustering), link and popularity information of documents in general, training data consists of the above features and feedback from users whether a document was relevant, put this into a machine learning algorithm and learn a classifier, use the classifier to rescore results; use the probability-of-relevance as the score, instead of the original cosine score
k-nearest neighbor classifier, usually, using normalized dot product
Rocchio classifier, for each class, compute the class mean, classify according to the closest mean, (how is this justified in pattern recognition?)
support vector machines
Naive Bayesian
logistic regression
neural networks
decision trees
terms: Obama, 2013, 2012, inaguration
maybe also: president, oath, etc.
generally: get list of matches, need to then check manually
would like to start with the "most likely relevant" documents first
general idea: give positive "scores" or "weight" to relevant terms
"Obama" - frequent, not very specific, but very relevant
"inauguration" - infrequent, very relevant, but might apply to other presidents
Obama=10, inauguration=10, oath=3, office=3, oath-of-office=10, president=2, Washington=1, etc.
score = 10 * matches("Obama") + 10 * matches("inaguration") + ...
recall the matrix of documents vs terms
documents vs terms
the distribution of terms over documents is a vector
the total score for weighted matches is the dot product of a weight vector with the document vector
once we have justified these dot products in such a way, all of linear algebra becomes available
heuristic - TF-IDF, we choose scores that intuitively "make sense" and tune the process until things work well
generative, we make assumptions about how documents are generated, infer probabilities, and then use those probabilities to answer queries
discriminative, we have a training set of documents and retrieval results, train a linear classifier, and then use that to assign weights
term frequency, frequency of a term within a document, boolean - [ t in d ], logarithmic - log(1 + #occurrences-in-d), normalized - #occurrences-in-d / max #occurences of any term
inverse document frequency, what fraction of the documents contain the term, generally, log of (#documents / #documents containing term)
tf-idf weight is the product of the term frequency and the document frequency
terms receive a high weight if they are frequent in the document but infrequent among all documents
heuristic construction of scoring functions - c.f. fuzzy logic
ultimately, a model-based justification of these approaches has to happen in terms of statistics
statistical model for language generation: semantics, syntax
approximation in terms of n-grams
approximation in terms of vector space
apply the wildcard to the dictionary
then use the set of terms found that way for retrieval
very important for handling grammatical endings
represent the dictionary as a trie
efficiently look for the prefix in the trie, enumerate the children
compute the union of the postings for the children
note that you can combine the tree data structure for the prefixes with the postings lists by moving common postings up the tree
use tree on reverse words
important in some languages
use a "permuterm index"
that is, represent "word$" and all its rotations in the tree, "ord$w", "rd$wo"
prefixes of this string now turn into internal wildcard matches (provided they contain $)
consider substrings of size k and index those
"abc*def" must contain the 3-grams "abc" and "def"
take both query and index terms
map both into a different space
perform search in that space
spelling correction: string->string or string->set-of-k-grams
phonetic: string->string (phonetic representation)
edit distance: variety of representations, or sequential search
simplest version: term-document matrix
"term"?, words are a linguistic entity, term = words + proper nouns + numbers + abbreviations + ..., term = "unit the user can search for"
term document incidence matrix, binary matrix (we could also include counts), rows are vectors giving term occurrences by document, columns are vectors giving terms contained in document, column is a bit vector representation of the set of words
boolean queries, "find all the documents that contain Caesar and Calpurnia", query language: caesar AND calpurnia, conceptually: bit-and of row vectors for terms "caesar" and "calpurnia", conceptually: intersection of document sets, also: caesar OR calpurnia
inverted index, millions of documents, tens of thousands of terms, the matrix is sparse, so most terms do not occur in most documents, inverted index, the list of terms / tokens is collectively referred to as the dictionary, the list of documents for each term are the postings, note that we represent documents as integers (often, the terms as well), if the list of documents is sorted, then intersection and union turn into efficient algorithms similar to mergesort, given two document lists of length N and M, what is the computational complexity of intersection, union?, optionally use skiplists to speed up intersection of postings
simple information retrieval system, INPUT: collection of documents, tokenize each document into a list of tokens, normalize each token using linguistic preprocessing (remove grammatical variation etc.), create an inverted index, parse user queries, translate user queries into efficient sequences of set operations on the inverted index, NB: both the index and the dictionaries can be compressed; prefix-compression, delta compression, etc.
proximity queries, "X near Y", simple approach: biword index, create an index of word pairs, more general data structure: positional indexes, for each term, store the document that contains the term, plus the positions within that document, NEAR queries now turn into a nested "merge" operation, for each term, iterate over the sorted document ids, collect positions by terms, then "merge" the term positions in a similar way, note that this means basically storing one integer per word in each document; the index is about as large as the original text collection
memory and disk space, does the index fit into memory (much easier construction), how does search deal with the different performance characteristics of memory and disks?, how does this relate to relational databases? can we build on top of relational databases? is that efficient?, what do they support that we don't need?, what do they lack that we need to build on top of them?, how can we compress the index?, how can we compress the dictionary?
distributed construction, document collections and indexes have gotten so large that they can't easily fit into a single machine anymore (c.f. Google), solution: distributed computations, common paradigm: MapReduce
most texts aren't just collections of words; they have a logical structure, title, authors, abstract, text, references
instead of indexing the whole document, we treat these as "mini-documents" or "zones" within the document
retrieval is still at the whole document level
zone-based indexing is very common; Google supports it, title:, url:, etc.

Find the document I wrote last week on ...
What is the collection of documents?, dynamic or static, small or large
What is the collection of users?, experience level?, motivation?
What is the language?, How many grammatical variants does each word have?, How relevant are those grammatical variants?, Are words separated or easily separable?, English (nearly ideal for IR), each word is almost fixed, words are separated by spaces, so tokenization is easy, words are almost identical with morphemes, other languages, words may have hundreds of forms, many "words" may be combined together in complicated ways, words may not be separated from each other
Uses, users just needs a subset of useful candidates as starting points, high precision necessary, low recall tolerated, exhaustive collection of matching documents (e.g., in legal cases), high recall necessary, low precision tolerated
Resources, How much storage and computation is available?, "Personal file indexing" on PC has been limited in the past: users bothered by CPU and storage usage.

They both should not, as the concept of aweights and cell means does not really translate well into the machinations of -logit- and -logistic-. Although you can have a model where the response is the average number (proportion) of "yes" respondents, the mechanics of -logistic- and -logit- would treat the proportion as it would treat any other non-zero response -- it would treat it just as if it were equal to one. The model where the response is a proportion is handled by -glm- instead, and -glm- does accept aweights. I would advise caution when using them, however. A -glm- Bernoulli model with aweights translates into both the response AND the covariates being "averaged" out. If only the response is an average and the covariates fixed over the averaged subjects, then what you want is -glm- with a binomial denominator, specified as -family(binom varname)-, where varname defines how many subjects went into each average. If you go this route, you would also need to change the response from a proportion to the number of positive respondents, i.e. from y to varname*y. As for -logit-, the fact that it accepts aweights, although undocumented, is probably a computational artifact left over from an earlier version of Stata. For purposes of consistency in the definition of aweights, we'll change -logit- to disallow them entirely. --Bobby firstname.lastname@example.com * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/findit.html * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/

Serena upset by Cornet in Dubai semifinals as Venus wins
By Sandra Harwitt, AP Sunday, February 23, 2014, 12:06 am TWN
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates--The hope of an all-Williams final at the Dubai Championships ended on the racket of Frenchwoman Alize Cornet on Friday.
The 26th-ranked Cornet scored her first career victory over a No. 1 player when she upset Serena Williams 6-4, 6-4.
"I'm so excited," Cornet said, smiling broadly. "I didn't expect that definitely, and I'm really, really happy and proud of myself.
"She's one — or maybe — 'the' biggest champion of history, and, wow, just thinking that I beat her today."
Earlier in the day, Venus Williams earned her spot in the final when she dominated eighth-seeded Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark 6-3, 6-2.
Serena Williams, playing in her first tournament since losing in the Australian Open fourth round, offered no excuses. She said her back, which had been hurting in recent weeks, was fine.
"I'm a wee bit embarrassed," said Williams, who started laughing. "She played really well. I just didn't play today.
"I tried, though. I don't think I have made that many errors in a match in I think at least three years, maybe four years."
Williams gave herself a failing grade for being unable to find a winning formula for the match: "I think out of a 10, I was at like a negative 283."
Cornet won the first set when Williams flinched while serving in the ninth game.
Cornet, who reached the Paris Indoors semifinal earlier this month, took advantage of her one-set point in the 10th game with a winning backhand down the line.
The Frenchwoman then jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in the second set, but Williams rebounded.
Cornet broke Williams' serve again in the seventh game with a winning forehand down the line.
Williams fought off four match points on her own serve in the ninth game, but Cornet served out the match at love.
"I know her, and I know she feels the moment when she has to put more into making the opponent feel that she's still here," Cornet said. "But I did it, too. I showed her that I would be there till the end.
"So when she was screaming louder, I was screaming louder. She was hitting harder, I was hitting harder."
In contrast to her sister, the 44th-ranked Venus Williams has been playing top level tennis all week long in Dubai.
A former two-time Dubai champion in 2009 and 2010, Williams currently holds a 14-match winning streak at the tournament. She didn't play in this event between 2011 and 2013.
"I feel like I've just gotten so much better since my first round to now, just feeling comfortable on the court, feeling comfortable when I'm behind, feeling comfortable when I'm in the lead," Williams said.

Boeing executives are no doubt incredulous in the wake of a recent National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) decision that seeks to prevent the company from locating its second Dreamliner plant in North Charleston, S.C.
Last week's stunning announcement – a gratuitous attempt by U.S. President Barack Obama to reward his union allies – would represent one of most brazen government intrusions in the free market that we've ever seen. If left unchecked, it would not only deprive South Carolina of thousands of jobs – but would cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded incentives.
More importantly, it would confer to the federal government veto power over future corporate relocation decisions.
Boeing has called the NLRB complaint "legally frivolous" (which is putting it nicely) and vowed to contest the decision in court. But just how aggressive can the Chicago-based aircraft manufacturer be in its battle against the federal government?
There's an excellent piece in The Washington Examiner which addresses this very subject.
"In its effort to fight back, Boeing could be defanged by its reliance on big government," columnist Timothy P. Carney writes, adding that Obama's Export-Import Bank has "subsidized Boeing with nearly $15 billion in loan guarantees in the past two years – roughly three-quarters of all of Ex-Im's guarantees during that time."
Obama also tapped Boeing CEO Jim McNerney to run his Export Council, one of several links between the company and the Obama administration that Carney's column uncovered.
"So now when the Obama administration kneecaps Boeing, bending labor law in order to benefit a labor union that gives more than 95 percent of its money to Democrats, Boeing is vulnerable," Carney writes. "Can Boeing believably use free-market arguments to defend its right to build planes in whichever factory it wants?"
(To read Carney's piece in its entirety, click here).
According to a May 2010 report, Boeing's annual economic impact to South Carolina could be worth more than $6 billion a year. That report also predicted that the company's presence would create 15,000 permanent jobs in the Palmetto State, 3,800 direct jobs at its production facility and roughly 11,200 "spin-off" jobs. South Carolina is also on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded incentives – including money that has already been borrowed to pay for the construction of the company's $750 million manufacturing facility.
While Boeing may have to fight Obama with one hand tied behind its back, Palmetto politicians are being plenty aggressive in protecting their investment.
U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint has signaled his intention to grind the U.S. Senate to a standstill if this assault on South Carolina (and other right-to-work states) is not dismissed. Meanwhile, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham has threatened to de-fund the NLRB if the complaint is not lifted. For her part, S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley has urged the Republican party's 2012 presidential candidates to get engaged on the issue.
Meanwhile, the truly unprecedented nature of this decision is beginning to come into focus.
For the first time, the NLRB is claiming that a workers' right to strike has been infringed upon over an expansion decision – even though Boeing has actually added 2,000 jobs to its unionized Washington state plants since announcing its decision to locate the second Dreamliner facility in South Carolina.
"The (Washington state) workers don't have any claim to the (new) work," a former Bush administration labor official told FOX News. "If the workers don't have any claim to the work, it wasn't retaliatory to open a new second production line – it (was) simply expanding its business operation."
Frankly, we believe Boeing has the right to move any of its operations … anywhere, anytime and for any reason. In fact it's insane that we're even having to make such a self-evident point in America – which is ostensibly a capitalist country.
Of course with the Obama administration stuffing money into Boeing's pockets – and the President's "heavy" Rahm Emanuel calling the shots in Chicago – it's clear that South Carolina is going to have a major fight on its hands. And while we have every confidence that Boeing will vigorously contest this abominable decision (and that the nation's courts will ultimately block Obama's naked pro-union ploy) there will still be a cost.
After all, Obama is sending a clear, unambiguous message to corporations that might consider relocating to South Carolina (or other right-to-work state).
That message?

Home > Mounts / Motors > Berlebach Tripods
(Details shown apply to the default selection)
Model: bb-uni-18-heq5
(Photo shows Uni-18)
Please note: Our price includes accessory tray, steel spreader chain and double clamps for extra security.
Wood has a number of properties that make it the ideal material for supporting astronomy mounts. Not only does it look fantastic and is warm to the touch (great for cold winter nights under the stars) but Ash wood in particular has excellent vibration damping characteristics, which is why it is used for hammer handles and Berlebach tripods.
The Berlebach Uni-18 and Uni-28 are the most popular models for use with the Skywatcher HEQ5 and EQ6 series mounts. With the included attachable tray (37 cm) an angle of inclination of approximately 23° can be achieved. A steel spreader chain is also supplied.
If you are familiar only with steel pipe tripods then you are in for a treat!
Uni-18 specification
Uni-28 specification
I recently purchased the UNI-28 (HEQ5) version of this tripod for use with a Tele-Optic Ercole Alt-Az mount. The tripod is a thing of beauty - excellently put together and as solid as a rock. The dampening when using a long refractor is extremely impressive and gentle tweaks on the focuser are no longer an issue. This is beyond doubt one of the best astro purchases I have made.

The look into Tiobe index may give quite a surprising results if we pay attention into that is happening during the latest year. Java seems no longer declining, Python and C# are also kind of stable but we clearly observe the growth of C language popularity. It is even not C++ but a plain C.
I wonder it this is just some transient event or the reliable shift.

As it turns out, people have searched more for the iPhone 5S rather than the Galaxy S4. Apple's latest high-end handset sits at the third place in top, while Samsung's flagship is ranked eighth. The only other gadget that's made it into top 10 is Sony's PlayStation 4 console, which is trailing the S4 on the ninth place.
Technology aside, the rest of Google's top 10 global trending searches for 2013 has both sad and bright parts. The first two places belong to people who have passed away recently: Nelson Mandela, former South African president, Nobel Peace Prize winner and social activist, and Paul Walker, the actor who gained international fame thanks to his role in the Fast and the Furious series.

Shipboard entertainment systems include a Bose Surround Sound AV48 Theater System with KVH satellite TV receiver and 32" LCD TV in the salon, plus independent Pioneer AVH-P4200 Stereo DVD systems for each stateroom. The master stateroom also has a wall-mounted 28" LCD television networked to the satellite receiver.
Atop the yacht is the bridgedeck complete with factory-installed hardtop. The upper helm station includes a Stidd Admiral helm chair for the ultimate comfort while underway. Aft of the helm station is open seating for eight plus a teak dining table. Separating the entertainment area from the utility deck is a bar unit housing a sink with hot-and-cold water and Isotherm undercounter refrigerator. Finally, the Utility Deck provides secure storage for the Zodiac 10' RBI tender with Honda 4-stroke outboard as well as a Steelhead Marine SMR-1000 1000-lb Davit for deploying and retrieving the tender and any manner of shipboard toys you choose to outfit her with.
The U-shaped galley is located on the bridgedeck adjacent to the dinette and convenient to the helm. Sub Zero refrigerator and freezer drawers are integrated into the aft-facing base cabinets along with a Sharp microwave oven and a Miele four-burner ceramic cooktop. Overhead cabinets offer generous storage for china, glassware and foodstuffs. The forward-facing peninsula houses the extra-deep stainless steel sink, water filtration system and numerous drawers and lockers for cookware storage. Finally, a separate chest-of-drawers adjacent to the dinette houses silverware, table linens and a host of other cruising 'necessities'.
The teak-capped swim platform is an integral part of the hull and is protected by three 3" diameter removable staple rails. Three steps up, the fully-covered, teak-planked aft deck is sized to accommodate deck furniture, a dining table, exercise equipment or just about anything you can imagine. Wide covered side decks, protected by raised gunwales and welded stainless steel handrails, make movement around the boat safe and convenient. Forward of the pilothouse on the main deck is a waist-high Portugese bridge designed to dissipate the energy of breaking waves in heavy seas. Gates on either side of the Portugese bridge give access to the foredeck for line-handling or operating the Lofrans Falcon windlass.
Second Thought is designed with interfaced AC and DC Electrical systems which are operated from a circuit breaker panel located in the salon for easy access. Major components include:
Integrated navigational electronics are provided at both upper and lower helm stations. The backbone of this system is made up of Garmin Mult-function Displays (two at lower helm and one at upper helm) that are networked together to provide detailed location, depth, traffic and radar information at a glance. Major components include:
The walk-in standing-height engine room can be accessed fron a watertight engine room door located in the utility room or through a large watertight hatch in the sole of the aft deck. In either case, one is greeted with the most spacious and manitenence-friendly machinery space afloat. The engine room houses virtually all of the mechanical equipment including:

Over the Sliprails HTML version
A Gentleman Sharper and Steelman Sharper
Steelman and Smith had been staying at the hotel for several days in the dress and
character of bushies down for what they considered a spree. The gentleman sharper from
the Other Side had been hanging round them for three days now. Steelman was the more
sociable, and, to all appearances, the greener of the two bush mates; but seemed rather
too much under the influence of Smith, who was reserved, suspicious, self-contained, or
sulky. He almost scowled at Gentleman Sharper's "Good-morning!" and "Fine day!",
replied in monosyllables and turned half away with an uneasy, sullen, resentful hump of
his shoulder and shuffle of his feet.
Steelman took Smith for a stroll on the round, bald tussock hills surrounding the city, and
rehearsed him for the last act until after sundown.
Gentleman Sharper was lounging, with a cigar, on the end of the balcony, where he had
been contentedly contemplating the beautiful death of day. His calm, classic features
began to whiten (and sharpen) in the frosty moonlight.
Steelman and Smith sat on deck-chairs behind a half-screen of ferns on the other end of
the balcony, smoked their after-dinner smoke, and talked in subdued tones as befitted the
time and the scene -- great, softened, misty hills in a semicircle, and the water and
harbour lights in moonlight.
The other boarders were loitering over dinner, in their rooms, or gone out; the three were
alone on the balcony, which was a rear one.
Gentleman Sharper moved his position, carelessly, noiselessly, yet quickly, until he
leaned on the rail close to the ferns and could overhear every word the bushies said. He
had dropped his cigar overboard, and his scented handkerchief behind a fern-pot en route.
"But he looks all right, and acts all right, and talks all right -- and shouts all right,"
protested Steelman. "He's not stumped, for I saw twenty or thirty sovereigns when he
shouted; and he doesn't seem to care a damn whether we stand in with him or not."
"There you are! That's just where it is!" said Smith, with some logic, but in a tone a wife
uses in argument (which tone, by the way, especially if backed by logic or common
sense, makes a man wild sooner than anything else in this world of troubles).
Steelman jerked his chair half-round in disgust. "That's you!" he snorted, "always
suspicious! Always suspicious of everybody and everything! If I found myself shot into a
world where I couldn't trust anybody I'd shoot myself out of it. Life would be worse than
not worth living. Smith, you'll never make money, except by hard graft -- hard,
bullocking, nigger-driving graft like we had on that damned railway section for the last
six months, up to our knees in water all winter, and all for a paltry cheque of one-fifty --
twenty of that gone already. How do you expect to make money in this country if you

Alcoa Shares Continue to Rise
On Dec 3rd I talked up Alcoa Inc. (NYSE:AA) as slow mover, boring stock, but an investment to consider for would-be buyers. Since that time Alcoa shares have gained 21%, so much for boring.
WallStNation.com Sponsors - Become one Today
Alcoa (AA) shares are on fire today, adding another 4% and trading at $16.44, pushing closer to that 52-week high of $17.60.
Yesterday (Jan 3rd) CNBC's Jim Cramer talked up Alcoa on Mad Money proclaiming the company as one of his three favorite Dow components for 2011 along with Intel (INTC) and American Express (AXP). Cramer said Aloca Inc. will be the top performer among Dow components this year, predicting the stock could rise 42% in 2011 to $22 as other metals companies could consider a takeover bid for the stock.
However last month when I mentioned Alcoa I was sold on comments made by Klaus Kleinfeld, the chief executive officer of Alcoa Inc. On Nov 17th Klienfeld said he expects the price of aluminum to rise in the next 10 years as demand exceeds supply, and that supply constraints will restrict aluminum production and all the new plants that are scheduled to open in the next few years will be needed. The company takes the view that global demand may grow by 6.5 percent a year, doubling total consumption by 2020, even if Chinese demand slows down. Be it that Alcoa holds the crown as the world's leading producer of aluminum, be it primary aluminum, fabricated aluminum or alumina -- I was sold on speculation of future growth and the possibility that aluminum prices could finally rise.
Friendly reminder, Alcoa reports Q4 2010 earnings next Monday (Jan 10th) and the Street expects 19 cents a share for Alcoa, which last year in the same quarter generated earnings of 1 penny a share.
Bottom line: The easy money has been made on Alcoa as it shares are now up 38% over the past three months. Should the company come out good on next week's call, the bullish trend will continue, and for once, Wall Street is beginning to believe.

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.
We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the Shipping Details box for each item. Please refer to the Shipping Details box to determine the earliest shipping time. Unless you specify otherwise, fertilizers, tools, and other non-plant items are shipped with your plants or bulbs. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at expected time of delivery.
We guarantee to ship plants that are in prime condition for growing. If your order is damaged or fails to meet your expectations, we will cheerfully replace or refund it.

Denise from Indianpolis, IN
I should have ready the description better. We have had a drought and the soil is very hard. Unless you have a lot of strength or weight this dosen't work well in dry soil. Only was able to get it to go down 2 inches. I am sending it back for the "naturalizing" tool which I am sure will work better. On the plus side this is made to last a lifetime - I don't see how it would ever break. If you have soft or moist soil go for it. If you have hard soil go for the other one.
More to Plant from Missoula, MT
I have used this tool for several years to plant bulbs in established borders as well as in lawns. I have previously used different foot-powered bulb planters and have wound up breaking them. This super-sturdy bulb planter is still going strong. I love the large diameter of the holes (~4"), since I can usually plant about three large daffodils per hole. I can always get my holes deep enough with this tool. This tool is well worth its price.

I love you Kels!
Hi Kelsey. I just got done reading your entry and looing at your pictures and it made me cry. I think it just sunk in that you are in another country and I can't just give you a call or see you in a few weeks. You have so many awesome experiences ahead of you, and I'm sure you are too busy to get too homesick yet! Make sure you try to stay safe and have as much fun as possible! I already miss you and I am praying for your journey to continue to be a success. I love you!
Your big sis, Leslie

That flight went so fast that they served us bruch right when we reached out elevation and I was still chewing my circle shaped granola bar when we were landing
My room at the University has lots of room for improvement and everyone's room is a different size and shape, but it makes our experience that much more unique. I am able to hang 8 items in my closet but I have a sink and a huge wall of windows to make up for it. We took a walk around Maastricht and I am officially in love!! It is so hard to explain--it seems so picture perfect-just like the movies or those romance novels that you read. Around every corner is a Church that is either still in use or remodeled into something else. Pretty amazing!! We ate at a cute little Italian Pizzaria where I had a Margharhita Pizza (delicious!!) and a 1/2 liter of a beer that started with a G that made me feel like I hadn't just traveled halfway around the world. I have met a few of the other students that have been straggling in and have hope for some great new friendships.
I need to unpack my room to make it a little homier and possibly a shower so I will leave my entry at this for now. I can't wait to share everything else with you--Europe is AMAZING!!!

Washington, District Of Columbia -
(NBC News) U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry journeyed to Baghdad Monday for direct talks with Iraqi leaders.
After his first round of talks Secretary Kerry promised "intense and sustained" support in Iraq's fight against ISIS militants currently moving toward the capitol.
Kerry also made it clear that U.S. support is for a stable, democratic Iraq, not necessarily the government currently headed by controversial Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
"It has nothing to do with support for a specific government," Kerry said.
ISIS fighters now control every border crossing into Iraq from Syria and one from Jordan.

We're still having con letdown 24 hours after returning from the Creation Supernatural convention in Washington D.C. (actually Arlington, Virginia, but close enough) – it was a freaking fantastic con! One of the best ones we've been to. We'll write up more coverage when we can catch our breath, but for now, a few con highlights.
One was having a chance for not one, not two, but THREE fangirl dinners (and some excellent fanboy chats too) – all of them filled with spirited discussion about SPN, where Season 9 is headed and whether we'll all survive it. There's nothing better than a table full of fans analyzing the smallest moments, debating their significance, sharing intricate theories, challenging and validating each other's thinky thoughts. It's exhilarating!
Also exhilarating (in more ways than one, only some of them cognitive…) was Jensen's meet and greet. As always, no notes allowed, but here are a few tidbits, and my own questions and Jensen's answers.
Jensen talked about the responsibility that he and Jared feel for maintaining 'quality control' of the Show – they don't need to have producer credits, they just care that much about Supernatural after all this time, and everyone involved with the Show knows it. It sounds like the rest of the cast and crew, as well as the writers and producers "down south" in LA, trust Jared and Jensen to make some decisions that always have the best interest of the Show in mind. After nine years, it's clear that SPN is pretty extraordinary in that respect.
Jensen also talked a bit, both in the meet and greet and in the afternoon panel, about busting Misha when he directed – in fact, they apparently went so far that they both apologized to him the next day. In the panel, Jensen pulled out his phone and read off some of the pranks that he and Jared had planned out (which are a real feat of creative evil genius, btw. They could teach the Winchesters a thing or two about pranking!) In the meet and greet, he confessed to one entire day of not letting Misha get any lines out. Every time the coverage was on Misha above the waist, and Jared and Jensen were on the other side, Jared's foot would be in Misha's crotch, making it impossible for him not to crack. Even the crew got in on the tormenting – the camera operator at one point started doing hip thrusts while filming. Jensen helpfully jumped up to demonstrate said hip thrusts.
Fans: *are momentarily rendered speechless*
When everyone eventually recovered the power of speech, talk turned to the Show. What storylines would Jensen still like to see play out for Dean? Jensen said that of course he wishes John could come back, but allowed that's probably unlikely. He also thought the Benny and Purgatory story line wasn't thoroughly played out, and had more potential. We agree on both counts.
There were quite a few questions about Dean, which made Lynn a very happy fangirl. A fan asked whether it was harder to play Dean as a hero or as the darker character he's been this season. Jensen said that what's actually most difficult is to play both sides of Dean and yet maintain continuity so that you're still playing the same character. (Which probably wouldn't occur to most of us who are not actors, but makes a lot of sense).
Another question was about Sam and Dean's relationship, and whether it was threatened in S9. Jensen said no, not threatened – but much like when Sam was addicted to the demon blood and Dean wanted to protect him, right now Sam is worried about Dean and protective. It's not about whether the brothers love each other, but more about Sam's concern, and whether Sam will have to step in and pull his brother back.
Lynn: Is Dean feeling okay about what Sam said to him earlier this season, then? About not being brothers and about Dean being selfish and only saving Sam because he didn't want to be alone?
Jensen: No, I don't think he's over it, it's still there, like a gaping wound. I think it plays into his decisions – like he has nothing left to lose…
Lynn: *sniffles*
Okay, now I need a hug.
There were other very good questions, but we'll just share one more from Lynn, because it left us shaking with anticipation for the rest of the season.
Lynn: The Mark of Cain story line this season has been so compelling, it's been written really well – and acted really well, kudos –
Jensen: (smiles)
Lynn: But we're almost to the end of the season, we only have three episodes more to air, and I'm wondering how far we'll get with the story line. Did you, as an actor, feel satisfied with what you got to play out this season, now that you've completed filming?
Jensen: Well, let me say this. I got to the last script, and just went 'Oh. Wow. Oh wow. They went there.' And that's not something I often say.
Lynn: (possibly open-mouthed. Literally) OMG!
Jensen: (with a definite smirk) So…. Enjoy!
I think we will. Are you with me, fandom?
Stay tuned for more from DCCon – Misha clowns around with our new book, "Fan Phenomena: Supernatural", which includes a chapter Misha wrote. And we chat with the awesome Kim Rhodes, Chad Lindberg and Richard Speight, Jr.

I can already tell hellatus is going to kill me.

Oh my gosh, I am freakin out in anticipation!!!!!!!
Toni permalinkMay 6, 2014 10:44 pm
To play devil's advocate (pun intended), I don't think Dean kills Sam. I think Dean believes that he himself is now evil as Cain, and he becomes the next knight of hell, replacing Abaddon, and doing hell's dirty work Dean definitely needs saving (in S10?)! Just sayin'…..
May 6, 2014 11:21 pm
Our facebook group has been tossing around three ideas….Dean kills Sam….Dean kills Cas as he gets between Dean and Sam…and (my personal fave) Dean, in some way, becomes the King of Hell. Can not tell you how excited I am for the last episodes…so much so, that when the season actually DOES come to an end, the let down will be drastic…sigh…
May 7, 2014 2:16 pm
Really??? He said they went there??? Which is weird, cuz i always say that about SPN!!! (one of the many reasons i love it so much) nSo if he's saying it for the first time even after all those other epic developments, it's must be universally mind-bogglingly epic, and i am so in love with EPIC!!! SQUEE!!! ~skips around happily 😀
eLIZAbeth permalinkMay 9, 2014 3:33 am
Oh my friggin god! I cant wait for the season finale now!! But i hate to think i will have to go on a spn-free diet for about 5 months! Urgh!
The part about the thrusts got me all red and i might or might not have been giving out heat waves at the 'smirk'ing part! Oh, To have jensen smirking at you!! And the hug! I never get enough of the boys hugging, its so sweet!
However, I cant think or rather, dont want to think about dean killing sam! I'd much rather go with demon!dean. That sounds quite sexy. And could you please tell about some of those 'wicked pranks'? Please please please?? I am just dying to know about the pranks!!!

Wlurli In IKC3 ON, April The most exciting scene that has been wit- nessed in the chamber of the United States senate occurred late last night, whiln the Cuban resolutions were under debate, after a continu- ous session of thirteen hours' dura- tion. Before adjournment conltl se- cured an agreement was reached that a vote should be taken not later than K o'clock tonight. A for mal agreement was reached at 9 :30 o'clock last night to that effect. Agreement, however, was not ar- rived at without a highly dramatic and discreditable scene. SENATORIAL TKMPEK.S TRIE1X It was about 9 o'clock when the trouble occurred. The senate had twice refused to adjourn, turning a deaf ear to Senator Hoar's plea for mercy on account of his health. The tempers of the senators had been frayed to a wire edge with t-he long boors they had spent in listen- ing to the endless debate and with the strain and excitement of the day. At this critical time Senator .Tones of Arkansas proposed the agreement outlined above. His remarks had the effect of bringing Mr. White to MISSION OF PEACE. Archbishop Ireland New York. Will Labor WHH Men In incluii-niu ftlTcn to his feet with some caustic remarks about the length of time he had spent in listening to the war talk, and he insisted on his rights to pro- sent his ideas to the senate. He said he should not take more than an hour and a half, even though sev- eral senators on the other side had spoken for tour hours. Mr. Cafferytoade similar remarks, accepting Mr. Jones' proposition and saying that be should not re- quire morn than one hour. Mr. Wellington followed with the assertion that ho would tako what- ever part of the four van left, and nil drew long breatlH of relief at seeing the cad in sight. STAI'.TfKfl OK TJIR CLASH. But there was a Stirring scene yet to como. Mr. Money roae and ex- plained that lift should object to the proposed agreement nnlaw it gome time for taking a He saw no reason why the senate should not continue iu continuous session. Mr. Wellington remarked that Mr. Money would not hasten mat- ters by insisting on a night session. "I appreciate the gentleman's remarked Mr. Money. "I meant no protested Mr. Wellington, "I Here the waspish senator from New Hampshire, Mr. Chandler, put in his oar. In the most insulting tones he remarked: "Surely the senator from Missis- sippi would not wish to take a vote without listening ut length to the views of the senator from Mary- land." Instantly Mr. Wellington was on his feet, quivering with rage, di- rected, strange to say, against Mr. Money. "I listened here for hours to the senator from he de- dared furiously, "when he returned from Cuba as an agent of the news- papers-----" "I want to correct a misstatement right here, "exclaimed Mr. Money.

"If the gentleman can use such language I can use it M well as exclaimed Mr. Wellington, white as a sheet and trembling with anger. "Come outside and use cried Mr. Money. "Very well, returned Mr. Wellington. "Come reiterntod Mr. Money, whereat Mr. Wilson blandly inquired whether it would not be in order to move a declaration of war. Mr. Wellington stood by his desk, netvoosly tearing a sheet of paper to threds and glaring at Mr. Money. APOLWtZBS TO SBMTE, However, quieted down a and Jones' proposi- tton was agreed to. Then Mr, Money arose and regretted that he had, under grfttt provocation, vio- the decofnm of tbe senate and to stnftM for bit words, laying the on the senate. The fftfiMiM again on WASHINOTOX. April bishop Ireland left last night on the midnight train for Mew York, ac- companied by Professor Pace, of the Catholic university. Monsignor Ireland will have sev- eral conferences with men in New York who aro in touch with the government but ho is confident that any further Rttorte to induce the ('nited States to postpone action would lie in vain. When the presi- dent sent his message to congress on Monday, Archbishop Ireland went to Baltimore, where he held ft conference with Cardenal Qtbbons about the situation. The two prelates held the same everything possible had been done, and there would bo no benefit derived from carrying the negotiations further. This view- was eommunicated to the Vatican. Yesterday a message was received expressing the profound regret of Among the latter are the mapiiiicent liners St. Paul, .St. Louis.

Kven the New Orleans is not consid- ered any better than she should lie, while the Topeka lias as yet no suns and will require a Rood deal of work before she can be of service. The Solace is not a lighting ship, .She will not even have a revolver on hoard, hut will trust entirely to her fled Cross (lag for protection in case of necessity. She will not even carry a newspaper correspondent and will make no reports of any kind to tbe government, for fear that such action might imperil her neutrality. The explosives she will have are rockets for signaling purposes. MEMORIAL MY. Rons of Veterans Will Honor the Sacred Dead.

A Big Blue Brother For Xywrite's Creator
XyQuest Inc. has long been well known in the publishing industry because its XyWrite word processing program mimics the Atex editing systems used by many magazines and newspapers. But the company, based in Billerica, Mass., could soon see its market expand far beyond traditional publishing. On Feb. 27, Fernand Sarrat, vice-president for IBM Desktop Software, announced that the computer giant has secured exclusive rights to market XyWrite IV, an as-yet-unreleased update of the word processing package.
The deal represents IBM's latest attempt to do well in the personal-computer software business. Under the agreement, both XyQuest and IBM will market the improved word processor, renamed Signature, for one year after its release. But after that, IBM will have exclusive rights to the program. While IBM will take on the sales chores, XyQuest says it will concentrate on developing new products. "That's what we're good at," says marketing manager Judith A. Mintz. "Otherwise, we'd be a lot bigger than we are now."

past 50 years. That demand is fueled by the increase of cars on the street,
the number of planes that take to the air and the number of homes that
need electricity. Sadly, we will have depleted these resources by the end of
this century which is why we have to come up with other ways to get power
and solar energy may be the future.
Solar energy is simply extracting the sun's energy for power. Just to tell you
how powerful the sun is, it can burn scrub lands and give you sunburn if you
are out in the sun without any protection. In fact, the Greeks and the
Chinese used this to set fire until the 1880's by Charles Fritts made the first
solar cell.
Instead of using a heater to warm up the home, sunlight can be used to
control the temperature. You will just need large windows and shades to
control the amount of sunlight that will go inside and keep the heat
absorbed during the day to remain at night.
Solar energy can also provide warm water as it warms up cold water that
passes down through the closed flat panels called collectors.
But solar energy does not only give warmth to the home. It can also be

HealthWatch: Hospital Microbe Project-Tracking Deadly Bacteria
Hospital Microbe Project-Tracking Deadly Bacteria
CHICAGO, Ill. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -48-thousand Americans die each year from infections contracted in hospitals. Now, researchers are tracking these deadly bugs from your home to the hospital and back again. What they find could end up saving millions of lives.
It's been six days in the hospital for Rochelle Speller. That's five more than she'd hoped
"If you're in the hospital, as soon as you can get out," Rochelle told Ivanhoe.
With a struggling immune system, Rochelle says she doesn't want to become one of the thousands of people who die due to hospital acquired bacterial infections.
"I have been lucky not to have gotten sick," Rochelle said.
Each person has 100 trillion bacterial cells in our bodies. That out numbers our human cells ten to one.
"The bacteria that are inside you come from the places you live, work, and visit," Jack Gilbert, PhD, Environmental Microbiologist and Associate Professor, the University of Chicago, told Ivanhoe.
University of Chicago researchers are looking at what makes up the hospital's microbial jungle and how it grows, changes, and transmits from surface to person over a year.
Researchers swab surfaces and patients to gather samples on a daily basis.
"People are very interested in it," Kristen Starkey, Hospital Microbiome Project Research Assistant, told Ivanhoe.
With over 10,000 samples, researchers and doctors hope to eventually find a way to prevent hospital born infections.
"One thing to do might be to provide more good bacteria to counteract the bad bacteria as opposed to just giving more antibiotics that will wipe out everybody," John C. Alverdy, MD, Professor of Surgery, Executive Vice Chairman of Department of Surgery, The University of Chicago Medicine, told Ivanhoe.
This is the first time a private hospital has enabled anybody to analyze the bacteria in their building using these techniques. This is the most comprehensive assessment of a hospital microbiome ever performed.
In the University of Chicago Hospital Microbe Project, researchers hope other hospitals will begin to investigate the potential of building bacteria and the influence it has on patient outcomes.
BACKGROUND: Being in the hospital can expose patients to the myriad of bacteria that live in the environment. Often, people can get sick from these bacteria, and these are called hospital acquired infections, or healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Every day, about one in every 20 patients contracts an HAI from receiving healthcare in a hospital. Sometimes, these infections can be deadly for patients, and often HAIs can be even more serious than a "normal" virus or infection. This is because the bacteria often have become drug-resistant in the hospital, and therefore makes it more difficult to treat. (Source: http://www.cdc.gov/HAI/burden.html)
CAUSES: It's hard to know exactly where an HAI came from, but some of the most likely culprits include:
* Use of indwelling devices like catheters
* Surgical procedures
* Injections
* Contamination of the environment
* Transmission of infection between patient and healthcare worker
* Overuse or misuse of antibiotics

NEW TECHNOLOGY: A team of researchers at the University of Chicago are currently studying the way in which humans change and interact with the community of bacteria living in a hospital. In the Hospital Microbiome Project, researchers are taking bacteria samples of various hospitals in order to understand how the microbiome changes. In a previous study, the same team found humans can change the microbiome in a home within 4 to 6 days. By gaining a better understanding of how the microbiome operates, researchers hope to be able to treat and avoid HAIs in the future. (Source: http://hospitalmicrobiome.com/overview/)

Patrick: Mass. Prepared For Serious Snowstorm
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick says state government has prepared for what he calls a "serious and significant snowstorm."
Up to a foot or more of snow is forecast in some areas accompanied by frigid temperatures with wind chills as low as 25-degrees below zero.
State officials warn of travel delays due to the combination of snow and extreme cold.
They also says utility companies have filed "adequate" storm preparation plans. (Metro Nerwork Inc.)
