Meet the COOK! Staff
Tracy Paulding Cates
Tracy Cates is the creator and director of COOK! Programs, where she passionately guides kids, ages 8 - 18 toward success through culinary experimentation. She has a BA in Traditional Eastern Arts from Naropa University and has completed a one-year training in Chanoyu (The Japanese Art of Tea), in Kyoto, Japan at the Urasenke Foundation. Her culinary training comes from close to 30 years of professional experience, peppered with intensive studies with chefs from around the world. In addition to her love for food and cooking, Tracy is deeply dedicated to education and providing opportunities for young people to nurture their interests, cultivate their skills, and have the confidence to be productive and positive role models in their own communities.
Harriet Trezevant
Harriet has been passionate about cooking since she was three and made scrambled eggs in a tiny cast iron pan. When she was five, her father's boyfriend gave her an EasyBake Oven. She went through a lot of lightbulbs, "baking" those tiny cakes. When she was nine, her mom gave her a copy of The Joy of Cooking. It's now thoroughly duct-taped and contains loads of notes scribbled across the pages. After obtaining a master's degree in Health Education, starting a family, and working as an executive speechwriter, Harriet attended the San Francisco Cooking School's Professional Culinary Program and finally achieved her goal of working with food full-time. Her mission is to empower children (and adults!) to see food and taste as an adventure, encouraging them to try new things, appreciate the complexities and vast varieties of tastes that cultures around the world have to offer, and enrich their understanding of where our foods come from and what it takes to get to our tables.
Celeste Cooper
Celeste began cooking and baking at an early age in the kitchen with her family. She has worked in many professional kitchens and loves the excitement and creativity that goes into making food. She attended the California Culinary Academy for Baking and Pastry Arts and has owned a few businesses here in the Bay Area, including her current one, Hen House. She loves making food for people and enjoys sharing the experience of feeding communities good food.

They presented unto Him gifts . . . Fabergé, Hirst and Swarovski
As the world slides towards recession, and the Pope meets the Chief Rabbi in Rome to debate how to restore morality to market economies, British churches are inviting the nation to join in celebrating what they are billing as the blingiest, most consumerist Christmas yet.
In posters that will adorn shopping centres, pubs and clubs from this week, the three wise men eschew the usual gold, frankincense and myrrh for a Damien Hirst skull, a Fabergé egg and a Swarovski crystal perfume bottle.
Shepherds' robes and head cloths are abandoned for the latest designer gear, with Joseph in a jacket by John Varvatos, a shirt by Uniqlo, jeans by Topman, socks by Pantherella and shoes by Church's. Mary wears a dress by Zara, shoes by…

Renting From Us
The properties we have available for rent are advertised on our web page, the Christchurch Press and Trademe. All available properties are included in our rental list, which is updated daily.
Our rental properties are made available for viewing by phoning our office for an address. We ask you to drive by first to ensure it is in an area you like and the look of the property appeals to you. We then ask you to phone us to make an appointment to meet us there and view the inside of the property.
Once you have viewed and decided on the property you will then be asked to complete a Rental Application Form.
It is important that every person who intends to occupy the property complete this form. It should be completed in full so that your application can be processed promptly. Rental Application Forms can be completed at the property and left with the Property Manager, dropped off or emailed to our office or filled out online.
Once we receive a completed application form, we will undertake a thorough credit and reference checking process and a decision made on the most suitable applicant for the property.
If you are the successful applicant, we will arrange for you to sign a standard Tenancy Agreement, associated forms and pay the first weeks rent and a letting fee to secure the property. If the property is not available immediately, you will be required to pay one weeks rent and a letting fee to secure the property until it becomes available. Please note that we only accept cash.
If however, the property is available immediately or within the next few days you will also be required to pay the bond in cash, which is the equivalent of three to four weeks rent. Payment of the bond is required before the keys to the property will be handed over.
Our experienced Property Managers are here to help you every step of the way and ensure the process is as simple for you as possible.

I was sent a complimentary PlanetBox-Launch in exchange for an honest review of the product. Visit their website, to see the other lunchbox options and accessories!
The Launch comes with 3 compartments built into the lunchbox, a sealable glass container(with a plastic cover that wraps firmly around the edges of the glass, a small, leak-proof container which I assume is for dressings, and a carrying case just big enough to slide the lunchbox into and hang it over your shoulder. And who could forget those adorable magnets that press perfectly into the inside face of the lunchbox for an extra burst of color?!?
A few points about this product. (Overall I give this lovely box a 3.5 out of 5 stars)
Because it:
- Saves Money– Going to work, I can easily spend 20 bucks from morning to 5pm if I don't have a good plan set in place. That $5 soy green tea latte + my $3 chocolate bar for mid day snack. A 7 dollar salad from the salad bar, and then good gracious, what for dinner? Obviously having a lunchbox, with built in meal compartments helps me out a little bit. I'm forced to think of ways to creatively fill those holes in the box and in turn fill the meal gaps in my day.
- Is customizable – Did I mention the fun, decorative magnets that come with the kit yet?? These things would drive a kid (or a big kid like me) crazy with happiness (and it did) I personally love the graffiti magnets 🙂
- Helps you pack balanced meals – I have a problem with overeating simple things, especially when it comes to sweets. But the small compartments help me portion things out really easily. Also it helps me get creative with the variety of things I pack. It's almost hard not to get a colorful and healthy spread into your lunchbox by the time you're done filling it up.
- Makes packed lunch way more exciting – I don't know about the rest of the world. but eating out of this container made me so excited to eat my regular, everyday food. It became such an exciting event, I wanted to make a scene every time I pulled a piece of fruit out.
- Is eco-friendly– Something that I felt was very intriguing from the get-go. Eliminate ALL plastics bags and paper baggies, and throw this guy directly into the dishwasher when you're done using it. It's insanely durable and you don't need to wreck the environment every single time you want to pack a pb&j.
- Except it's Hard to clean- Speaking of dishwasher-friendly, if you don't have a dishwasher, like me, the reverse, unfortunately becomes the case. My tiny compartments got sticky from the fruit juice and the box became slightly awkward to scrub clean.
- Is very heavy to carry– Carrying this can be a bit of a challenge. Without food, the container is pretty heavy–After adding the food, the straps on the bag can start cutting into your shoulders (I exaggerate a little), but at times I wished I could put the container away in my backpack or something just to give my arms a break. For someone who drives to an office and works in one single spot without much back and forth, this won't be an issue for you, but for me, a gal, living in the city, as a student who uses the train and my feet to get everywhere, it became a hassle lugging this around to all places I wanted to make sure I had food.
- And it's difficult to pack some things (due to leaks, tall food or food not shaped like the spaces provided) – I can see how some things might just have to wait to be eaten when you get home with this case. It's great for salads, cut fruit, cut veggies, sliced-sandwich-bread sandwiches and last-night's meal like stews with rice that are spooned into the glass container, but uncut fruit is a no no(too tall), and anything that may leak, don't do it-not unless it's going into the glass container.
All in all this is my favorite lunchbox EVER! The only reason why I didn't give it the full 5 stars is because I wish it were more convenient to carry around, and that one issue makes me less willing to carry the entire thing with me everywhere I walk to. (I find myself packing just the glass container to work) But hey, they can't save all world problems on the planet, can they?
Check out the lunchbox, and get yours here !!
My favorite part is the salad dressing container- It's perfect for stashing broken bits of dark chocolate 🙂

With nine human rights quangoes all going full blast in the fight for "equality" at the taxpayer's expense, we ought to be able to assume that no dark pockets of discrimination are tolerated against anybody in the new enlightened Australia, ought we not? How then does one explain the slogan on a series of prominent hoardings advertising the services of a firm of female undertakers? Underneath a picture of a woman in a silly hat like a parking inspector's sniffing, for some reason, a rose, we read: "A woman's understanding". A woman's, eh? Therefore by implication a form of understanding a man doesn't have.
But what of male undertakers who would like to think of themselves as showing just as much "understanding" in their job as the lady in the hat? Are they not being shockingly discriminated against, besmirched, held up to ridicule, put down, belittled, offended etc? If they are, that's just too bad, for all the quangoes could care. Yet imagine the screeches from the whole taxpayer-funded establishment of anti-discrimination busybodies if the advertising referred to "a man's understanding". How very understanding of them all not to make a fuss when the boot is on the other foot.

Study sheds light on approaches, revealing 'orgasm gaps' both between the sexes and those with different sexual orientations
The female orgasm has often been described as elusive, but researchers say they might have discovered how to boost the chances of eliciting the yes, yes, yes.
A study from a team of US researchers suggests that a combination of genital stimulation, deep kissing and oral sex is the "golden trio" for women when it comes to increasing their likelihood of reaching orgasm with a sexual partner.

This robust text provides deep and wide coverage of the full range of topics encountered in the field of image processing and machine vision. As a result, it can serve undergraduates, graduates, researchers, and professionals looking for a readable reference. The book's encyclopedic coverage of topics is wide, and it can be used in more than one course (both image processing and machine vision classes). In addition, while advanced mathematics is not needed to understand basic concepts (making this a good choice for undergraduates), rigorous mathematical coverage is included for more advanced readers. It is also distinguished by its easy-to-understand algorithm descriptions of difficult concepts, and a wealth of carefully selected problems and examples.
This textbook can be used for an undergraduate course in digital image processing and analysis, or an undergraduate/graduate course in computer vision. The updated version presents new sections on compression via JPEG and MPEG, fractals, fuzzy logic recognition, hidden Markov models, Kalman filters, point distribution models, 3D vision, watershed segmentation, wavelets, and case studies.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I'm also not a huge meat fan--I've often said I could be a vegetarian if I knew how. But the thing is--Miriam's cookbook isn't about trying to get people to be a vegetarian, rather it is about teaching people healthy eating skills and giving them a chance to reduce the amount of meat in their diet.
It's a fact--we eat too much meat EVERY day. A meal can still be a meal without meat. What?! You might say, How? This is why I'm sharing Miriam's cookbook with you today.
The first thing I made were her delicious peanut butter granola bars. My kids and hubby devoured them and oh my goodness, I wanted to eat 10 of them! I was so excited to have a healthy after-school snack for the kids, who come home ravenous. I took some pictures of my food to show you. That is the only thing I would change about the cookbook if I could--add pictures to the recipes--but I found a solution! You can visit Miriam's blog here http://
Next I made Mixed Vegetable Lo Mein and can I just say how surprised I was at the delicious flavor? It didn't need extra salt--the combination of flavors was perfectly satisfying and again, my family loved it.
I can't wait to try more recipes. Our grocery budget is always something we're working on and we've been cutting back on meat-filled meals because they are more expensive. I figure the Mixed Vegetable Lo Mein cost about .50 cents a person for my family of six--maybe even less since my hubby took it to work for lunch the next day!
Check it out and then be on the watch for Miriam's next cookbook this summer on healthy desserts!

Fiora Build Guide by Mapi002
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Fiora Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
In this guide I will explore my choice of purchases, Runes, Masteries and lay style of Firoa. Firstly i will look at the chosen summoner spells and other substitutes that may be used.
Summoner Spells
I have chosen to use the spells flashand ignite . I have chosen these two spells because flash is a good escape and ignite is always good to use at the last second to secure that kill if you die.
If your are unable to use flash then heal is another good spell to have because you can use it to counter many champs ability and basic attacks.
Skill Sequence
The best Skill to grab first would be your Q, this is because your Q allows allows you to last hit minions well and this also allows o you jump to an enemy champ and then back to a minion for a quick escape from a poke. this skill should be maxed by around level 9.
The second skill that you should get is your E, this is because your E gives you increased attack speed for a short duration. This is a good ability because it will allow you to push towers fairly fast no matter how fed you are. This ability should be maxed by around level 13 or 14.
You should grab your W at level 3 and max it last because it allows you to block basic attacks from enemy champs and minions.
Your ultimate should be grabbed whenever available because this is good for finishing off champs.

AJA Kona and Apple Final Cut Pro Provide Edit Pipeline for HOOT FilmKONA Uncompressed Video Capture and Playback with Final Cut Pro Facilitate DVC Pro HD 1080i 60 Edit for New Movie (March 15, 2006)
AJA Video, a leading manufacturer of professional video interface and conversion solutions, announced that the company's KONA uncompressed video capture card has been used with Apple Final Cut Pro as the editing platform-of-choice for the new movie HOOT. AJA and Apple technology allowed film material to be brought over at high resolution, viewed, cut and output for the studio at pristine quality and with significant time- and cost savings.
"We were screening dailies right out of the Final Cut Pro system with a KONA card on 23-inch Apple Cinema displays. This setup allowed us to cut at 1080i resolution, lay down previews to a D5 deck and go out to an HD deck for studio reviews. The quality was amazing and the results with the KONA card– even projected in 2K on a huge screen – were indistinguishable from film," said HOOT editor Alan Bell.
KONA 2, the predecessor to the recently released KONA 3, supports full-bandwith, 10-bit 4:4:4 RGB video capture for 1080i, 1080p and 720p formats. Assistant Editor Ryan Chavez leveraged the card's 1080 DVC Pro codec with the K-Box and DVI-HDP converter to receive HD dailies, digitize them into Final Cut Pro and have them immediately ready for editing. Chavez cites a number of reasons for choosing an AJA KONA solution with Apple Final Cut Pro. These include the performance and reliability of the setup, as well as the price/performance and flexibility gained by making creative changes and outputting without a traditional online.
According to Chavez, AJA's KONA card with the K-Box and SDI-DVI-D converter worked perfectly for what was needed on HOOT. "A lot of people told us we wouldn't be able to do this film in 1080i—and it would have been impossible without the KONA solution," Chavez said. "The AJA KONA card with Apple Final Cut Pro provided the best option for this film project," he continued. "Not only did we find the KONA card to be totally reliable, it gives filmmakers the flexibility to cut and make changes up to the last minute, to create a 5.1 audio mix and output straight from the system. It's a huge time- and money saver in the long run."
HOOT, written and directed by Wil Shriner and based on a novel by Carl Hiaasen, releases April 21st from New Line Cinema and Walden Media. The film tells the uplifting tale of a young man intent on saving a group of endangered owls and stars Logan Lerman, Brie Larson and Cody Linley. Frank Marshall and Jimmy Buffet are producing the film, with Buffet also contributing original music.

It started as a typical day in San Francisco when there was lightly fallen snow on the ground. Leland was about ready to start role call when the phone rang.
"Hello?" he paused, "There's a WHAT in her car? Wait what is she- no we don't have time for that. I'm thirty seconds away. I'll be right there."
He hung up.
"Monk," Leland said, "I need you to run role call today. Something came up. Do you think you can handle it?"
"Of course," Monk said.
"Thank you," Leland told him, "I appreciate it. I really do.
It was a few minutes after role call ended that the phone rang.
"Yello," he said, "Sure I'll be right down"
Monk looked at his partner.
"Cover for me," he said.
"Sure why?"
"Leland's in the hospital," Monk explained, "He lost two arms and a leg"

Risks and Issues for a project is often a matter of worry for a project manager in a team. When you start asking your team to self organize themselves, one of the challenges is to get each individual team member to start thinking of risks and issues for the project/team.
One of the things which helps during the start of a release is to run through the project plan
through a small group of people in the team, to make them understand what they are signing up for. So if your team has 6 pairs of developers it will be nice to run the plan though with 2 pairs of devs, a BA and a QA, and again repeating it for the remaining set of people. It does not matter whether they are freshers or experienced people, they start thinking about what can go wrong in the project. People start asking more questions on "Why the capacity is so much ?" , and "Why are we planning for these stories in Iteration 2 instead of 1 ? ". More importantly you sign up for a release/project plan as a team and not as a project manager/tech lead.
The team also needs to keep an eye on the risks and issues that they identified and constantly seek solutions to mitigate them. There might also be new risks poppng up. What a team can do in this case is to have a mini risks and issues wall near the team area. It can be an X-Y graph of Risks posted on Likelihood v/s Impact.
Even a white board with risks being updated will do , but what matters is that it resides in the team area. A developer taking a break or a stroll around the team area should look at it and wonder "What can we do to tackle that high risk item ?"

Lay out the lemons and reel off the paper towels. Crawfish season is late, bigger and better this year.
"We have had a phenomenal season this year," said Jason Cogburn, owner/sales director of Boyd's One Stop in Texas City.
"It started off kind of slow because of the winter we had. We're about at the peak and crawfish are really good size; the quality is excellent and they're looking great."
Cogburn has been working with crawfish since 1996 at the fishing and seafood market. He predicts a late end to the season and a dip in prices down to 99 cents, probably after Mother's Day.
"The season really usually shuts down after Father's Day, but I think it will carry over till the 4th of July this year since it started so late," he said.
Sharon Mitchiner also is a veteran when it comes to crawfish, although she specializes in the serving side of a feast. The program assistant for the Better Living for Texans nutrition education program often helps set up the family crawfish boil.
Mitchiner is famous for stretching the ingredient list to create a load of leftovers.
"You have a large capacity container so you might as well get some extra cooking done at the same time," she said.
Her son John Mitchiner Jr. is in charge of the crawfish shift, but she commandeers room near the end of the boil to add mesh bags of asparagus, mushrooms and other fresh vegetables.
"There are just a lot of ways to get a lot of mileage out of it," Mitchiner said, speaking from the Texas AgriLife Extension office in La Marque. "There are a lot of ways to make use of your resources."
Crawfish are so popular this year that Landry's Inc. has put a Crawfish Wagon out on the road for private events and festivals. The customized food truck can produce 1,000 pounds of cooked crawfish per hour.
Last month alone, the wagon cooked up more than 20,000 pounds of crawfish, according to Keith Beitler, senior vice president and chief operating officer of Landry's Specialty Restaurants and Amusement Divisions and International Franchising.

- The inaugural Ragin Cajun Festival is May 16-18 in Kemah, www.gulfcoastfestivals.com.
- Landry's Crawfish Wagon will be located at the Kemah Boardwalk this month. The wagon will travel to public or private events in Houston and surrounding areas and is available to rent for company functions, parties, festivals, weddings, picnics, etc. Call 281-538-9600.

Farmer's Seafood Boil
6 ounces crab boil
6 ounces shrimp boil
2 tablespoons salt
12 whole new potatoes, unpeeled and quartered
4 onions, quartered
1 link pork or Italian sausage, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
2 pounds crawfish
3 ears corn, cut in thirds
In a large boiling pot, bring a gallon of water, crab and shrimp boil and salt to a boil.
Add the potatoes and boil for 10 minutes. Add the onions and sausage and boil for 5 minutes. Add the crawfish and corn.
Boil for 5 minutes more. Drain and serve with crusty bread and a cold beverage.

Crawfish feast at home
- For a DIY private crawfish feast, here are some tips from local experts:
- Prepare extra vegetables, including fresh asparagus, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower and mushrooms; place them in mesh bags and cook late in the boil to make a vegetarian feast and tasty leftovers. Cold asparagus, with that seafood boil flavor, is excellent on a salad.
- Cook extra potatoes and recycle leftovers in potato salad or as a side dish with eggs. The Cajun seasoning gives them an extra punch.
- Use a roll of brown craft paper or newspaper sections to cover the table. Put out paper towels and bowls of quartered lemons for hand-cleaning. When the feast is over, dump the shells onto the paper, roll it all up and put it in the trash.
- Boyd's One Stop in-house restaurant sprinkles Texas Shell Shock over a finished batch of crawfish. The low-salt boil and finishing sauce is made by a Houston company and contains no MSG. "It's not salty and people just love it," said Jason Cogburn, owner/sales director of Boyd's One Stop in Texas City.
- Cogburn uses a three-step boil process — boil, chill and heat the crawfish back up in a sauce.
- Sharon Mitchiner, the program assistant for the Better Living for Texans nutrition education program, has one last line of advice. "Enjoy," she said. "The season is not that long."

IAB Report – BMW M4 convertible starts at INR 44.11 lakhs, debuts in New York [Video]
Karthik H, A bit of a car freak and a bike nut, and a fan of trucks and technology too. Expect sharp stories that focus on those four fronts. As always, stay tuned to IndianAutosBlog.com for quick and unassuming updates from across the world.
This week BMW officially announced the BMW M4 convertible which makes its world premiere at the 2014 New York International Auto Show on Wednesday, April 16. Today the company released a statement confirming a starting price of $73,425 (INR 44.11 lakh) in the US, with deliveries commencing this summer.
Power for the BMW M4 convertible comes from the familiar 3.0-liter V6 engine, featuring M TwinPower Turbo technology with two mono-scroll turbochargers, that produces 431 hp between 5,500 and 7,300 rpm and peak torque of 550 Nm between 1,850 and 5,500 rpm.
The car boasts of a 0-100 kph time of 4.4 seconds when fitted with the optional 7-speed M Double Clutch Transmission and this time goes up by 0.2 seconds when fitted with the standard 6-speed manual gearbox.
Just like the M3 and the M4, the convertible gets most of its panels made from aluminium, including the bonnet and the front side panels. The driveshaft, on the other hand, is made of a single piece of carbon fibre reinforced plastic. Overall, the car weighs just 1,750 kg, 60 kg lower than its predecessor.
The rear-wheel driven convertible features an electromechanical steering system and gets three driving modes – Comfort, Sport and Sport+.
The car measures 4,671 mm in length, 1,870 mm in width, 1,386 mm in height and gets a wheelbase of 2,812 mm. In terms of suspension, the front gets an aluminium double-joint spring strut axle while the rear has an aluminium five-link axle.

The present invention relates to automated spell checking. In particular, the present invention relates to suggesting contractions as alternatives to misspelled words.
The role of the spell checker is to identify spelling mistakes and to offer suggestions to correct them. Typically, such spell checking is performed by comparing an input string to entries in a lexicon. If an entry is found that matches the word, the spell checking system assumes that the word is correctly spelled. If no matching word can be found, the spell checker returns a suggestion of possible words in the lexicon that the user may have been trying to spell. These words are selected by comparing the input string to each word in the lexicon and identifying those words that are closest to the input string.
The distance between the input string and a word in a lexicon is measured differently by different spell checkers but in general is based on the number of deletions, additions, permutations or substitutions that must be performed on the word in the lexicon to form the misspelled word. Words that are further than some threshold distance from the input string are not suggested to the user as alternatives because it is unlikely that the user has made so many spelling mistakes and suggesting words that are substantially different from the input string can cause users to lose confidence in the system.
While such spell checkers have worked well in many languages, they have produced a large number of poor suggestions for French contractions that are missing an apostrophe.
In French, it is common to form a contraction by shortening a word such as "le" into an elided form such as "l" and appending the elided word to the next word in the sentence using an apostrophe. For example, instead of writing "le arbre" (the tree) the contraction "l'arbre" is used.
One common mistake is to forget the apostrophe when forming the contraction during writing. Thus, for example, the user may type "lorange" when the correct form is "l'orange".
Although it is possible to form all of the contractions as lexical entries, this would cause the lexicon to be very large. For example, there would need to be an entry for "orange" and for "l'orange". To avoid this, systems have attempted to dynamically identify when an apostrophe may be missing from a contraction. However, these systems have typically used simple rules that identify a first letter or set of letters as belonging to a set of elided words, and then simply suggesting placing an apostrophe between the identified letters and the remaining portion of the word.
These simple rules have resulted in a large number of meaningless suggestions being provided to the user since a large number of the contractions formed by the rules are grammatically incorrect.
Thus, a spell checker is needed that provides grammatically correct suggestions to the user when suggesting contractions as possible spelling alternatives to words provided by the user without requiring each individual contraction to be found in the lexicon.
A method and product are provided that identify properly spelled words from an input string. Separate lexical entries are identified for different parts of an input word. Grammatical information associated with one of the lexical entries is examined to determine if it satisfies a grammatical constraint associated with another of the lexical entries. A properly spelled word is formed by combining the separate lexical entries if the grammatical information satisfies the constraint. Under some embodiments of the invention, the separate lexical entries are identified by performing a first search of a lexicon using a first part of the input string and by performing a second search of the lexicon using a second part of the input string.
The invention is operational with numerous other general purpose or special purpose computing system environments or configurations. Examples of well-known computing systems, environments, and/or configurations that may be suitable for use with the invention include, but are not limited to, personal computers, server computers, hand-held or laptop devices, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based systems, set top boxes, programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, telephony systems, distributed computing environments that include any of the above systems or devices, and the like.
The invention may be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, being executed by a computer. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. The invention is designed to be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules are located in both local and remote computer storage media including memory storage devices.
With reference to
Computer 110 typically includes a variety of computer readable media. Computer readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by computer 110 and includes both volatile and nonvolatile media, removable and non-removable media. By way of example, and not limitation, computer readable media may comprise computer storage media and communication media. Computer storage media includes both volatile and nonvolatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data. Computer storage media includes, but is not limited to, RAM, ROM, EEPROM, flash memory or other memory technology, CD-ROM, digital versatile disks (DVD) or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store the desired information and which can be accessed by computer 110. Communication media typically embodies computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism and includes any information delivery media. The term "modulated data signal" means a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of example, and not limitation, communication media includes wired media such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared and other wireless media. Combinations of any of the above should also be included within the scope of computer readable media.
The system memory 130 includes computer storage media in the form of volatile and/or nonvolatile memory such as read only memory (ROM) 131 and random access memory (RAM) 132. A basic input/output system 133 (BIOS), containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within computer 110, such as during start-up, is typically stored in ROM 131. RAM 132 typically contains data and/or program modules that are immediately accessible to and/or presently being operated on by processing unit 120. By way of example, and not limitation,
The computer 110 may also include other removable/non-removable volatile/nonvolatile computer storage media. By way of example only,
The drives and their associated computer storage media discussed above and illustrated in
A user may enter commands and information into the computer 110 through input devices such as a keyboard 162, a microphone 163, and a pointing device 161, such as a mouse, trackball or touch pad. Other input devices (not shown) may include a joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 120 through a user input interface 160 that is coupled to the system bus, but may be connected by other interface and bus structures, such as a parallel port, game port or a universal serial bus (USB). A monitor 191 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 121 via an interface, such as a video interface 190. In addition to the monitor, computers may also include other peripheral output devices such as speakers 197 and printer 196, which may be connected through an output peripheral interface 195.
The computer 110 is operated in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 180. The remote computer 180 may be a personal computer, a hand-held device, a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to the computer 110. The logical connections depicted in
When used in a LAN networking environment, the computer 110 is connected to the LAN 171 through a network interface or adapter 170. When used in a WAN networking environment, the computer 110 typically includes a modem 172 or other means for establishing communications over the WAN 173, such as the Internet. The modem 172, which may be internal or external, may be connected to the system bus 121 via the user input interface 160, or other appropriate mechanism. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the computer 110, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device. By way of example, and not limitation,
Memory 204 is implemented as non-volatile electronic memory such as random access memory (RAM) with a battery back-up module (not shown) such that information stored in memory 204 is not lost when the general power to mobile device 200 is shut down. A portion of memory 204 is preferably allocated as addressable memory for program execution, while another portion of memory 204 is preferably used for storage, such as to simulate storage on a disk drive.
Memory 204 includes an operating system 212, application programs 214 as well as an object store 216. During operation, operating system 212 is preferably executed by processor 202 from memory 204. Operating system 212, in one preferred embodiment, is a WINDOWS� CE brand operating system commercially available from Microsoft Corporation. Operating system 212 is preferably designed for mobile devices, and implements database features that can be utilized by applications 214 through a set of exposed application programming interfaces and methods. The objects in object store 216 are maintained by applications 214 and operating system 212, at least partially in response to calls to the exposed application programming interfaces and methods.
Communication interface 208 represents numerous devices and technologies that allow mobile device 200 to send and receive information. The devices include wired and wireless modems, satellite receivers and broadcast tuners to name a few. Mobile device 200 can also be directly connected to a computer to exchange data therewith. In such cases, communication interface 208 can be an infrared transceiver or a serial or parallel communication connection, all of which are capable of transmitting streaming information.
Input/output components 206 include a variety of input devices such as a touch-sensitive screen, buttons, rollers, and a microphone as well as a variety of output devices including an audio generator, a vibrating device, and a display. The devices listed above are by way of example and need not all be present on mobile device 200. In addition, other input/output devices may be attached to or found with mobile device 200 within the scope of the present invention.
As shown in
Lexicon trie 308 also includes grammatical information for each lexical entry in lexicon 310. In particular, each complete word node in lexicon trie 308 identifies the part of speech of the word, whether the word is singular or plural, whether it is masculine or feminine, and for verbs, the tense of the verb (future, past, or present), the grammatical person of the verb (first person, second person, or third person), whether the verb is transitive or intransitive, and whether the verb is an auxiliary. Note that these are examples of grammatical information and additional grammatical information may be provided in each complete word node. In addition, some of the grammatical information listed above may not be present in certain embodiments of the present invention.
Under the present invention, spell checker 300 is able to use the grammatical information in lexicon trie 308 to identify possible suggestions for spelling errors involving contractions without requiring all of the contractions to be listed in lexicon trie 308 or lexicon 310.
In step 400 of
At step 404, a next node in the trie is selected. Under one embodiment, the trie is traversed by sequentially selecting nodes, where each node represents a separate letter. By traversing the entire trie structure, it is possible to form each word in the lexicon. Although it is possible to traverse the entire trie structure and thus reach each word in the lexicon, this is seldom done in practice to improve efficiency. In particular, a cutoff threshold is used to avoid consideration of words that are substantially different from the input text string.
At step 406, the method determines if the end of the trie has been reached. This will occur when the entire structure has been traversed. If the end of the trie has not been reached at step 406, the process continues at step 408 where the string of letters represented by the current location in the trie is compared to the same number of letters in the input text string to determine an edit distance between the text string and the current letter string of the trie. The edit distance is measured based on the number of characters that must be inserted into the trie string, deleted from the trie string, or replaced in the trie string to form the corresponding letters in the input test string. The calculation of such edit distances are well known in the art. Note that the present invention is not limited to a particular technique for calculating the edit distance and other edit distance calculations such as one that applies a higher cost to a deletion of the first letter of a word may be used with the present invention.
If the difference between the trie string and the input text string creates an edit distance that is over some threshold, the current search path of the trie is cut at step 410 and a new node in the trie is selected. By cutting the search path, any words that could be formed in the trie from the existing trie string are no longer considered. For example, if the trie string "cor" had an edit distance that was over the threshold for the input string, the search path would be cut so that words such as "corn", "core", and "corp" would not be compared to the input text string. However, other words that could be formed with the first two letters "co" would still be compared. For example, "colt" could be compared to the input text string.
If the edit distance for the current trie string is not over the threshold, the method of
If the current trie string is not a full word, the process returns to step 404 to select a next node in the trie.
If the current trie string is a full word, it is examined at step 414 to determine if it is the beginning of a possible contraction.
Under the present invention, a set of elided words, represented as text strings followed by apostrophes, are stored in the trie as being full words. These strings represent the beginning portions of contractions. In particular, the following elided words with apostrophes are designated as full words in the trie under the present invention:
In determining whether the input text string represents a contraction, step 414 first determines if the portion of the trie string before the apostrophe matches, except for differences in case, the corresponding text in the input text string. If it does not match , the input text string is not considered as containing a contraction.
Next, the next letter in the input text string after the portion that matches the trie string (without the apostrophe) is examined to determine if it is a vowel. The list of possible vowels for a French embodiment of the present invention includes:
If the next letter in the text string is not a vowel, step 414 does not consider this to be the start of a possible contraction.
If it is determined at step 414 that the input text string may contain a contraction, a new threshold is set for the edit distance at step 415. This new threshold prevents the consideration of any words with large differences between the input text string and the trie string for the portion of the input string after the elided word. By setting this threshold to be smaller, only small manipulations, such as capitalization or missing accents will be allowed when considering possible suggestions for the proper spelling of the contraction. Alternatively, the threshold can be left the same and a flag can be set to prevent any more editing of the string to occur. With this flag set, substitutions, insertions and deletions cannot be performed but case-change and the addition of accents can be performed.
After the threshold has been set, a new trie is started at step 402. In starting the new trie, a new pointer is created which points to the root node of a second trie. This allows a new search to be performed for the second part of the contraction by traversing the entire trie once again. Note that the new trie contains the same information as the initial trie.
At step 404, the next node in the second trie is selected and at step 406, the determination is made as to whether the end of the second trie has been reached.
At step 408, the edit distance between the trie string of the second trie and that portion of the input text string that continues after the elided form is compared to the reduced threshold of the second trie. For example, if the input text string is "quil", which has a correct form of qu'il, the elided form is "qu" and the portion of the text string that is compared in step 408 to the trie string of the second trie begins with the letter "i".
As discussed above, if the edit distance is over the threshold, the search path is cut at step 410 in the second trie. If the edit distance is not over the threshold, the method determines if the trie string represents a full word at step 412. Note that the full word is only that portion after the elided word of the input text string. If a full word has not been reached at step 412, the next node in the second trie is selected at step 404.
When a full word has been identified at step 412, the process determines if this is the start of a possible contraction at step 414. Since the method is in a nested second trie at step 414, it is not possible that a contraction is being started. As such, the method proceeds to step 416 where it determines if it is in a nested second trie. If it is in a nested second trie at step 416, the method determines if additional contraction constraints are satisfied by the full word at step 418.
The additional contraction constraints of the present invention use grammatical information to limit which contractions will be formed from the lexicon. In particular, this grammatical information ensures that contractions identified as properly spelled by the method of the present invention are grammatically correct such that there is agreement between the elided form and the remainder of the contraction. The table below provides a list of the part of speech and grammatical information constraints that are associated with various elided forms for a French embodiment of the present invention.
Allow insertion of
apostrophe only if
following word (after
apostrophe) has the
following bits or POS:
Desired output
(Pers1 + Verb) or
(Verb) or (Pron)
(Pers3 + Verb) or
(Verb) or (Pron)
(Verb) or (Pron)
(Pers3 + Verb + Aux)
(Pers3 + Verb + Aux)
no constraint
no constraint
no constraint
no constraint
no constraint
no constraint

In table 1, "pers1+verb" indicates that the full word after the elided form must be a first person verb, "pers3+verb" indicates that full word must be a third person verb, "pron" indicates that the full word must be a pronoun, "verb" indicates that the full word must be some type of verb, and "pers3+Verb+Aux" indicates that the full word must be a third person verb that is also an auxiliary verb.
If the constraints of table 1 are satisfied, a possible spelling for the input word is formed at step 420 by forming a contraction that includes the elided form with an apostrophe followed by the full word identified in the second trie. This possible spelling can be compared to the input string to determine if the string is spelled correctly. It can also be used as a suggestion for the proper spelling of the input text.
After the possible spelling has been formed, the next node in the second trie is selected at step 404. The steps of
In step 422, the process determines if it is in a nested trie. If it is in a nested trie, it returns to search the initial trie at step 424. This involves returning to the pointer of the initial trie, which is located at the apostrophe of the elided form. The next node in the initial trie is then selected at step 404. Steps 406, 408, 410, 412, and 414 are then performed to look for the start of other contractions and other possible full words that are within the edit distance of the threshold for the initial trie. If a full word is found in the initial trie at step 412 and it is not part of a possible contraction at step 414, the word will be identified as a possible spelling for the input word at step 420 via step 416.
If the start of a second possible contraction is determined at step 414, the threshold for a new trie is set again at step 416 and a new trie is started at step 402 by generating a new pointer to the root node of the trie. Thus, multiple nested tries may be searched during the search for spelling suggestions under the present invention.
When the end of the initial trie has been reached at step 406, and it has been determined that the initial trie is not a nested trie at step 422, the process ends at step 426.
By using grammatical information in determining possible spellings for an input text string, the present invention reduces the number of poor suggestions that are made to the user thereby building confidence in the spell checker. In addition, by not requiring each possible contraction to be stored in the lexicon, the present invention reduces the amount of information that must be stored in the lexicon, thereby improving the storage efficiency for the lexicon and lexicon trie.
Although the present invention has been discussed with reference to a French embodiment, the methods of the present invention may be practiced with other languages
Although the present invention has been described with reference to particular embodiments, workers skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Simon Cowell's representative distances star from private eye claims
A representative for Simon Cowell has distanced the TV mogul from allegations the star has used the services of a disgraced private investigator. Cowell's named was reportedly included on a document drawn up by members of Britain's Serious Organised Crime Agency, which listed alleged clients of four private detectives who have been jailed for illegally obtaining information.
The star has yet to comment on the claims, but his representative, Max Clifford, has now spoken out on the The X Factor boss' behalf.
Clifford insists one of the convicted private eyes, Graham Freeman, reached out to Cowell for work, but he was never hired, saying, "Graham was keen to try and work for Simon but it never happened. That would have been arranged by me if it were to happen and it did not happen."

MD; Pipavath, Sudhakar MDJournal of Thoracic Imaging: January 2013 - Volume 28 - Issue 1 - p W4 doi: 10.1097/RTI.0b013e31827944d2 Web Exclusive Content-Signs in Cardiopulmonary Imaging Author Information Disclosure: J. Kanne is a consultant for PTC Therapeutics and a consultant for Perceptive Informatics. The remaining authors declare no conflicts of interest. Supplemental Digital Content is available for this article. Direct URL citations appear in the printed text and are provided in the HTML and PDF versions of this article on the journal's Website, www.thoracicimaging.com. Appearance: The Cheerio sign is defined by a nodule with a central lucency seen on CT, akin to the ring-shaped "Cheerios" breakfast cereal.1 (All references cited in this article can be found at http://links.lww.com/JTI/A41). Other terminologies used to describe a similar underlying histology include bubble-like lucencies and the open bronchus sign.2 Explanation: A Cheerio in the lung arises from proliferation of either neoplastic cells such as adenocarcinoma or non-malignant cells such as pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH) around a patent airway (Fig. 1A).3,4 Cell proliferation surrounding other types of central radiolucencies, such as pseudocavitation, cavitation, alveoli, or multiple thin-walled cysts can also produce appearances similar to Cheerios.3,4 Figure 1 Discussion: The Cheerio sign was originally described in low-grade adenocarcinomas of the lung, which can be solitary, multifocal, or diffuse (Fig. 1B). Pathologically, the spectrum of adenocarcinomas that may give rise to the Cheerio sign is further classified into adenocarcinoma in situ, minimally invasive adenocarcinoma, invasive lepidic predominant adenocarcinoma, and invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma.5 Lepidic growth pattern of the tumor cells, whether purely, predominantly, or partially present in these lesions, classically maintains the alveolar architecture and bronchial patency, thereby at times creating Cheerios on CT.2 A CT-pathologic correlation study by Gaeta, et al previously identified aerated intratumoral bronchioles in 34% of nodular low-grade adenocarcinomas.4 When adenocarcinoma is included as a diagnostic consideration, a longer period of surveillance may be warranted due to its slow growth. Surgery continues to be the mainstay of treatment. Primary mucinous adenocarcinomas arising elsewhere, such as from the gastrointestinal and genitourinary systems, can also present with the same histology and the Cheerio sign when metastasized to the lungs. PLCH is a smoking related lung disease characterized by proliferation of MHC class II Langerhans cells. PLCH lesions are multiple and distributed predominantly in the upper and mid lungs with conspicuous sparing of the bases.6,7 CT findings of PLCH include both nodules and cysts (Fig. 1C). The nodules are often stellate and ill-defined. With growth, faint central lucencies develop, resulting in Cheerios. More advanced disease is characterized by coalescence of cysts into bizarre shapes. End-stage disease may be difficult to distinguish from advanced emphysema. Smoking cessation is the primary treatment for pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis.7 The clinical course and prognosis vary, with regression in up to 25% of patients following smoking cessation, clinical and radiographic stability in 50% of patients, and progression to end-stage disease in the remaining 25% despite smoking cessation.8 Minute pulmonary meningothelial-like nodules (MPMNs), a relatively rare entity, can present with micro-Cheerios on CT. These millimeter-sized nodules are typically multiple, bilateral, and randomly distributed.9 They represent interstitial proliferation of benign spindle cells associated with a central radiolucent expanded alveolar airspace.9 Of uncertain clinical significance, MPMNs are sometimes incidental findings in cases of malignancy. Recognition of their features helps avoid misinterpreting these nodules as metastases.9 The differential diagnosis of cavitary nodules that may also manifest with the Cheerio sign includes mycobacterial or fungal infections, other primary lung cancers, metastases, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly Wegener granulomatosis), and rheumatoid nodules.2Supplemental Digital Content JTI_2012_11_29_CHOU_200649_SDC02.pdf; [PDF] (72 KB) Back to Top | Article Outline© 2013 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.

The 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C is just the beginning of the brand's reintroduction into the U.S., as the coupe reportedly spearheads a lineup that will include eight new models by 2018, with one of those Alfas rumored to be yet another rear-drive coupe. Dubbed the 6C, the new sports car is reportedly gunning straight for the Jaguar F-Type and Porsche 911.Based on the stunningly gorgeous Maserati Alfieri, the 6C will keep some of its styling elements such as the flared wheel arches and graceful hood character line, but it'll set itself apart with a more razor-sharp front end that's highlighted by Alfa Romeo's signature triangular front grille with thin LED headlights. Although it'll wear the traditional Alfa face, it won't look too much like the others since its front fascia will reportedly be the most aggressive-looking one in the family. Around back, the 6C will reportedly boast a bodacious behind, emphasized by big quad exhaust tips and taillights positioned at the very outer edges of the rear.The Alfieri is essentially a shortened version of the GranTurismo, but the 6C is said to possibly rely on the Ghibli sedan's 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 for power. That engine makes 345 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque in base models, while those badged with the S ups power to 404-hp and 406 lb-ft. However, if it wants to compete with the uprated F-Type Coupe V-8 R and Porsche 911 Turbo, it's going to need more power, and we don't doubt that Alfa already has planned to squeeze more power out of that engine. Unlike the Jags and Porsches, though, there won't be too many 6Cs running around since it'll also have a limited production run capped about just under a few thousand units.We previously reported the brand will add two new compacts, another mid-size car, one full-size vehicle, two utility vehicles, and one specialty vehicle through 2018. While the 6C is likely the specialty model, the midsize SUV is rumored to be based on the Jeep Cherokee's platform, while the full-sized SUV is said to share the Maserati Levante and Jeep Grand Cherokee's underpinnings.Source: Auto Express Share this article in: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email We Hear: Alfa Romeo 6C Will Challenge Jaguar F-Type /7 Advertisement to Skip 1 | 7 2 | 7 3 | 7 4 | 7 5 | 7 6 | 7 7 | 7
