Snoop Dogg has issued a new warning: Don't dare to compare his lyrics — or any other MC's — to syndicated radio host Don Imus' recent racially inflammatory comments about the black women on the Rutgers University women's basketball team. Imus called them "nappy-headed ho's," among other insults.
Admittedly, Snoop and some of his peers have called women "b—-es" and "ho's" in their lyrics, but as the Dogg put it Tuesday afternoon (April 10), there is no parallel to what Imus said.
"It's a completely different scenario," said Snoop, barking over the phone from a hotel room in L.A. "[Rappers] are not talking about no collegiate basketball girls who have made it to the next level in education and sports. We're talking about ho's that's in the 'hood that ain't doing sh–, that's trying to get a n—a for his money. These are two separate things. First of all, we ain't no old-ass white men that sit up on MSNBC [which announced Wednesday it would drop its simulcast of Imus' radio show] going hard on black girls. We are rappers that have these songs coming from our minds and our souls that are relevant to what we feel. I will not let them mutha—-as say we in the same league as him."
Snoop did say, though, that the media needs to treat Imus as it treats some MCs (or football players, even).
"Kick him off the air forever," he said. "Ban him like they did [Adam] 'Pacman' Jones. They kicked him out the [National Football] League for the whole season [for numerous violations of the NFL's personal-conduct policy, including multiple arrests], but this punk gets to get on the air and call black women 'nappy-headed ho's.' "
At the time of this interview, Snoop's arraignment on felony charges (possession of a firearm and sale or transportation of marijuana) was looming, but on Wednesday afternoon (April 11), he pleaded no contest to the charges and was sentenced to five years' probation and 800 hours of community service; a three-year prison sentence was suspended. "Snoop accepts full responsibility for these matters," his attorney, Donald Etra, said in a statement. "He understands that, while he has every reason to seek security and protection, he cannot have a gun in his own vehicle, and he must only employ licensed security personnel. By the same token, although Snoop possesses a medical marijuana certificate, he recognizes, he cannot possess more marijuana than permitted by that law." The charges stem from Snoop's October arrest at the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California (see "Snoop Dogg Arrested For Drug, Gun Possession At Airport" ).
Amid all this, he's promoting a new album as well: a compilation called Snoop Dogg Presents: The Big Squeeze that is geared toward giving some shine to upcoming artists as well as seasoned vets. It's due April 24 on Koch.
"I produced the whole album," the Dogg explained. "I'm trying to give some light to these West Coast artists out here. Some of them are rivals, so I brought them all together so they could move forward. I call it The Big Squeeze because I'm finnin' to squeeze the game by the neck. It's a parade of the artists that I felt was my starters. As opposed to grabbing everybody from the West Coast, I grabbed the ones I thought were best at the time.
"We'll be dropping The [Big] Squeeze 2 in like three months just to make sure it's more and more talent that's coming," he added. "As opposed to calling in Pharrell and Timbaland and Scott Storch, all my high-powered friends, I said, 'Let me do it on my own and show them that if I'm willing to make the sacrifice, maybe they will too.' … I just wanted to give them a shot. Do a record with them, people know they official … then they got me whenever they need me. If they wanna do a [record] deal with me, then come on. If not, then they on their own. I'm not trying to lock anybody down."
You may even get to see some of these artists on the stage with Snoop soon. He and Diddy are bringing their tour to the U.S. after a run of several weeks across the world (see "Snoop Dogg Barred From Entering U.K., Cancels Dates With Diddy" ). The West Coast King is also focusing on an adults-only cartoon movie to accompany his album Tha Blue Carpet Treatment.

A Deadly ObsessionBy Posted: Jan 18, 2005
"When I first came on, people liked the character and they liked what was going on," Ted King says with a sigh about his role as GENERAL HOSPITAL's suave villain-of-the-moment, Luis Ramon Alcazar. "Then they started writing me as such a bad person. It's interesting to see the audience change their view."
Alcazar won't be winning any more fans this week, when he has a showdown on the island with Sonny over Brenda. "It's the three of us and there's one gun between us. It changes hands a couple times as we fight for control," King previews, in character. "Alcazar gets knocked over the head by Sonny. He's knocked out and Sonny gets the gun. Brenda gets the gun from Sonny, and then it's Alcazar trying to convince Brenda that she doesn't want to kill him."
And why wouldn't she? "Well, this man did take care of her for four years," King reasons. "He grabbed her out of the ocean, and had he not done that, she might have drowned. So he reminds her of that. 'You really shouldn't kill the person who saved your life. Bad karma.'"
Even if Alcazar survives his confrontation with Sonny, his days sure seem numbered with so many Port Charles residents wanting him dead. "Every show has to have some conflict. That's my job. That's my middle name," King says matter-of-factly.
But for an actor who previously played one of the nicest guys on prime time &mdaash; Detective Andy Trudeau on CHARMED — it's not always easy being mean. "As an actor, I try not to look at people in terms of black and white or good and evil," he shares. "In order for me to play someone like Alcazar, his redeeming characteristic is that he is completely in love with Brenda, and it's that love that allows him to do all of those things that everybody on the outside looks upon as being evil. He's madly in love with this woman, and he'll do anything for her. The ultimate romantic."
That's why King thinks his character got a bit of a raw deal in the sympathy department. "I think he's likeable," he laughs. "Brenda's the last person he wants to hurt. He'll kill everybody before he lays a hand on her. But once she turned on him, once he shot Jax, I think he went too far. But what are you going to do? He keeps reminding Sonny, 'Look, you're no better than I am. You kill people, too. Somehow everybody thinks you're OK because you do it to protect your family. Well, I'm doing the same thing. I'm protecting what's mine.' If you kill somebody who's not popular, people don't care. If you kill their favorite character, that's a whole other ball game."
Which is not to say King hasn't enjoyed the challenges of the role. "When I was a little boy, the actors I admired were the Robert Duvalls, the Dustin Hoffmans — character actors," he says. "That's what I aspire to do. This guy is the most powerful person I've ever played, but I have played everything from a pimp, onstage in New York, to a psychotic clown who murdered people on (The WB series) GLORY DAYS."
Indeed, King has inhabited a variety of characters since making his mark on daytime as Danny Roberts on LOVING and THE CITY (1995-'97). But he also takes a realistic approach to his career. "The reality is, after having done this for a while, you need to keep doing what you love to do at any level and then you hope that people take notice and it propels you to the next level. You never know where life is going to take you. Four years ago I was starring in my own show on ABC in prime time (TIMECOP). If people watch, you'll get big ratings, and if they don't, then you go find a new job. Try not to take it too personally. That's the hard part."

Former Washington Huskies standout Nate Robinson scored 27 points to lead the visiting Chicago Bulls to a 93-86 victory over the defending champion Miami Heat in Game 1 of their East second-round series.
MIAMI — Nate Robinson was spitting blood in the first half, then delivered the deepest cuts of the night in the final moments. And the Chicago Bulls reminded the Miami Heat that no one in the NBA plays it tougher.
Yes, the streakbusters struck again.
Robinson scored 27 points, Jimmy Butler added 21 points and a career-high-tying 14 rebounds, and the Bulls beat Miami 93-86 on Monday night in Game 1 of the teams' Eastern Conference semifinal series. The team that snapped Miami's 27-game winning streak in the regular season — the second-longest in league history — found a way to topple the champions again, this time ending a run of 12 Heat victories overall.
"I've played on some tough teams," said Robinson, a former standout for the Washington Huskies and Rainier Beach High School in Seattle. "But this one, there's something a little different, something special about this group."
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- A six-pack of observations from Seahawks' OTAs: Justin Britt, Alex Collins, Tharold Simon and more
Most Read Stories
Robinson needed 10 stitches, five in his lip and five more inside his mouth, to close a cut that came when he dived for a loose ball with Miami's LeBron James and struck his head on the court late in the first half.
Not only did Robinson play the whole second half, he scored 24 points in those 24 minutes — including Chicago's last seven points.
The Bulls finished the game on a 10-0 run in the final 1:59. And to think, the Bulls weren't near full strength. Kirk Hinrich was out again with a calf injury. Luol Deng isn't expected to rejoin the team until Tuesday, after dealing with an illness apparently so severe a spinal tap — and other tests since — were needed to rule out things such as meningitis. Guard Derrick Rose remains sidelined, as he has been since April 2012.
No problem. The Heat is 41-3 in its last 44 games — with two of those losses to the Bulls, who are 3-2 against Miami this season.
James got his MVP trophy from commissioner David Stern before the game, then struggled to a two-point first half before finishing with 24 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. Dwyane Wade added 14 for the Heat, which was outrebounded 46-32.
"I'm not stunned," James said. "This is what the playoffs is all about. We're going against a really good team."
Spurs win in 2 OTs
SAN ANTONIO — Manu Ginobili's three-pointer from the wing with 1.2 seconds left in double overtime lifted the San Antonio Spurs to a thrilling 129-127 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of their West semifinal series.
The Spurs trailed by 16 points with four minutes left in regulation before going on an 18-2 run to close the fourth quarter and force overtime.
Golden State's Stephen Curry scored 44 points on 18-for-35 shooting and had 11 assists. Ex-Washington State standout Klay Thompson scored 19 for the Warriors, who have lost 30 straight in San Antonio dating to 1997.
Before his final shot, Ginobili had missed 15 of his 19 attempts from the field.
"Good timing, though," he said of his last basket.

Question for the opentok folks:
I noticed that the chrome 23.0xxx builds for iPad trigger the webRTC browser incompatibility message. Does the internal script do its browser sniffing by looking for specific functions? Or are you guys doing user-agent sniffing?
The long and short of it is, it seems like Chrome 23 on iPad should support webRTC. Other webRTC demos I've seen around the web also either throw an incompatibility message or fallback to Flash.
Can you guys shed some light on this? Thanks

I'm pretty sure there should be a more Pythonic way of doing this - but I can't think of one: How can I merge a two-dimensional list into a one-dimensional list? Sort of like zip/map but with more than two iterators.
Example - I have the following list:
array = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]
I want to have
result = [12, 15, 18] # [1+4+7, 2+5+8, 3+6+9]
So far what I've come up with is:
def add_list(array):
number_items = len(array[0])
result = [0] * number_items
for index in range(number_items):
for line in array:
result[index] += line[index]
return result
But that doesn't look very elegant/Pythonic to me. Aside from not checking if all the "lines" in the 2D array are of the same length, can be added to each other, etc. What would be a better way to do it?

The fact that you are even reading this is a surprise, because most people will most likely be taking in Christopher Nolan's latest and have no time for the likes of me. If you are reading it, it means you've probably already seen it (and if so, what are you doing? Go see it again!), or you are waiting to see it (and if you are, what's wrong with you?).
But, all this hullabaloo has made for some interesting reading these past few days, a lot of it Batman related. So, I thought I'd pool some of the best materials from the blogosphere, all related to the caped crusader.
So, with that in mind, here are some things upon which you can click, which will take you to new things, upon which you can read.
Rachel has, like most, been rewatching both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight in preparation, but thing has been plaguing her mind. She offers some real insight (HA!) on a confusing aspect of the dark knight's origins.
Ryan, Fogs, and Brian are taking part in not one, not two, but three podcasts, one for Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and naturally, The Dark Knight Rises, which will most likely be dropping soonish.
Well, one of us had to be the lucky bastard to see it early, and that someone just had to be Tom. And he just had to be a detractor. I swear he and are going to come to blows one of these days.
Sam at Film Intel looks The Dark Knight, and yes, like pretty much everyone, he loves it, but highlights a certain flaw that just couldn't be helped.
Darren at the m0vie blog, in preparation for TDKR, has been blasting through some of the comics. Here, he reviews Doug Monech's Prey.
Nick at Anomalous Material offers up the argument that Ra's Al Ghul is a better villain than The Joker.

Amanda Bynes showed up to court wearing a long aqua wig to face charges that she tossed a marijuana bong from the window of her apartment.
The 'Easy A' actress is accused of throwing the drug-taking item from the window of her home in Manhattan.
Amanda, 27, is charged with reckless endangerment and attempted tampering with physical evidence. She did not speak at her brief court appearance.
The 'Hairspray' star was arrested in May after the building's officials called police to complain she was smoking marijuana in the lobby.
Police officers went to her apartment where they say they saw a bong sitting on the kitchen counter. Prosecutors say she tossed the bong out of the window in front of the officers.
Amanda rose to fame starring in Nickelodeon's 'All That', but she has been in the news more recently because of several scrapes with the law and bizarre public behaviour.
Her Twitter tirades have become infamous, in which she has targeted stars including Lady Gaga, Jay-Z and Rihanna and branded them 'ugly'. She has also expressed a fascination with rapper Drake in her tweets.
The next court date she is expected at is on September 26.

This refreshing commentary from a prominent evangelical scholar, I. Howard Marshall, explains 1 Peter's literary structure, authorship, audience, and main theological subjects, along with a detailed walkthrough that strives to illuminate both the significance of the text today and its significance for its first readers.

The Mayaram committee on rationalising the definition of various foreign investment classes in India has, in its draft report, stated that the new class of foreign portfolio investment (FPI) can be allowed up to the limit of automatic foreign direct investment (FDI) on a sectoral basis.
The committee has also recommended that any sort of foreign investment into unlisted firms will be treated as FDI, irrespective of any threshold.
Investment under FPI route shall be subject to a default aggregate cap of 24%. The default limit can be raised to the sectoral cap or the statutory cap, whichever is permissible under the automatic route, and this will be the ceiling for FPI investments, said the draft report, a copy of which is reviewed by FE.
For example, in telecom, up to 49% FDI is allowed through the automatic route and up to 100% FDI is allowed through approval route. According to the panel's recommendations, the aggregate FPI limit in telecom companies can also be up to 49%. It would be the company's prerogative as to how much of the 49% limit is FDI and how much is FPI. The individual FPI limit is to be capped at 10%, the report stated.
FPI is a new proposed investor class to be formed by merging existing foreign institutional investors (FIIs), sub accounts and qualified foreign investors (QFI). This was recommended by a panel led by former cabinet secretary KM Chandrasekhar last year.
There is currently no clarity on governing foreign investment in unlisted companies even though the government recently allowed these companies to list abroad without listing in India. This (the move to treat any foreign investment in unlisted companies as FDI) is logical. There cannot be any portfolio investment in an unlisted company as the shares cannot be traded on the open market. If implemented, this will provide uniformity for investments in unlisted companies, Akash Gupt, executive director at PwC, told FE.
The draft report also stated that the issue of foreign venture capital investors (FVCI) putting money into start ups in India needed to be looked at afresh. At present, there is ambiguity regarding this investor class. The RBI allows FVCIs in only 10 sectors. This may be increased to 13 sectors. However, there is no regulation either by Sebi or Fema that allows this kind of restriction.

I was "cleared" to return to exercise on Thursday, after my doctor said I was good to go, he then asked "how long have you been working out already?" because he knows me oh so well.
Second week down, and while there wasn't any movement on the scale (let's be honest I had two pretty significant cheat meals in there) my cardio endurance has certainly improved. At this point the only reason I am stopping in the middle is because Little Miss needs some attention.
Lower Body continues to make me want to throw in the towel; Ab Intervals feel like a "rest day"; and those agility with jack feet in Speed 1.0 make me want to cry. It's possible that I am wearing the wrong shoes (currently in Reebok CrossFit shoes) and that I am on carpet but my ankles often kill me when we do lateral moves.
We checked my ab separation at the appointment and it was very minimal (HUGE sigh of relief). Since having weak ab muscles is a new sensation for me, I added in a 12 minute postnatal ab routine from Body Fit By Amy daily. I didn't feel a lot of the exercises which is normal, but I could feel myself getting stronger — leg lifts aren't impossible anymore.
This coming week, I am hoping to try a short run and see how I feel. Considering we will have double Total Body for the next three weeks, I am hoping that some of the extra weight will start to come off. I know that my body needs weight training to really see a difference, but I am trying really hard to follow the schedule, especially since I don't really have all the time in the world.
Just ignore how tired and unhappy I look in these photos, just you know going off of limited sleep here.
It is hard not to get obsessed with the number on the scale at this point, but I continue to focus on the small wins…like the fact that I was able to zip up a dress this past Saturday that I couldn't the Saturday before. That I have more energy and continue to feel more like myself.

Mission Support Through Technology Innovation
More so than the commercial sector, the DoD and military face unique challenges. The impact of budgetary constraints requires thoughtful decisions and a strategic plan to modernize the current way of doing business and improve organizational performance. The typical government approach has been to purchase and customize systems for individual programs at each agency. This approach has resulted in information and operations silos that end up constraining government's efficiency and effectiveness.
Traditional approaches have delivered benefits in the previous environment of large monolithic systems development. These approaches are no longer viable options for today's environment, where rapid development cycles and capabilities can be quickly be developed and deployed with the understanding that they will interoperate with the organization as a whole. Achieving interoperability in a net-centric environment is fundamental to realizing the full potential of transformation.
Concept Searching's Smart Content Framework™, product platforms, and intelligent metadata enabled solutions, address and solve content management and information governance challenges with one set of technologies. The products have been deployed in multiple locations within diverse agencies on both the NIPR and SIPR networks including:
- US Air Force
- US Army
- UK Ministry of Defence
- The German Bundeswehr
- Development, Concepts and Doctrine, Ministry of Defence Centre, UK
What do all these entities have in common?
The need to transform information into actionable knowledge, and to apply information governance policies across dispersed locations and missions. From an informational perspective, immediate access to up-do-date and accurate information is now a requirement for intelligent decision making. This should be a transparent process and result in a holistic view of knowledge assets regardless of where the information is stored or the location of staff. The DoD and military suffer from silos of redundant data located in a variety of legacy applications and diverse repositories that were designed to support the individual needs and requirements for a specific community of users.
Issues with search, records identification, the potential of internal or external security breaches, migration, and to some extent text analytics are all challenges that surround the inability to manage content. The 'Cloud-First Mandate' presents a new set of complicated challenges including retirement of legacy systems and migration to more flexible technologies. These factors impact the mission, degrade decision making, and impede many government entities from moving forward.
How is this Solved?
The Concept Searching product platforms can deliver intelligent metadata enabled solutions for any challenge that requires the use of metadata. These individual challenges can be solved using one set of technologies including:
- Automatic semantic metadata generation
- Auto-classification
- Taxonomy tools
The still unique technology transparently identifies the meaning of 'content in context' enabling the use of rich semantic metadata to be automatically generated, without end user intervention, auto-classified, and managed through highly sophisticated and interactive taxonomy tools.
What are some of the benefits our government clients have achieved?
- Improved information transparency and utilization of enterprise information
- Provided immediate and actionable visibility of relevant content from diverse repositories
- Eliminated potential data security exposures, removed confidential information from unauthorized access, and prohibited portability
- Automation of records identification and routing to records management application, eliminating end user tagging
- Enabled intelligent migration to move content based on conceptual metadata, and classify against a taxonomy, providing long term benefits of effective content management and concept based searching
- Improved FOIA and eDiscovery processing, reducing the time and effort typically required
- Used to build and support enterprise knowledge portals and accessed via concept based search, regardless of search engine
- Reduced the noise in aggregated content sets for text analytics, and improved outcomes with the ability to identify concepts, nuances, sentiment from heterogeneous sets of documents
Smart Content Framework™
Transforming relevant information into actionable knowledge has three intuitively significant benefits. For leadership, they are able to rapidly organize their organization's explicit and implicit knowledge to facilitate more effective communication and decision-making. For staff, cross-functional operating units are able to push relevant information to interested persons, reduce process timeline, utilize untapped resources, and enhance outcome quality. For the organization, it avails contemporary and relevant information that assists and expedites task performance and decision making, advancing individual and group performance via enhanced situational and issue-specific knowledge.
At a basic level, non-compliance with records management policies, lack of metadata for improving search, and increasing volumes of data exposure events are directly related to insufficient metadata. The limiting factor in all of these scenarios is the human element as it relates to behavior and training.
At the crux of all these challenges is metadata. In alignment with the Smart Content Framework™, intelligent metadata enabled solutions can only be achieved through the automatic generation of multi-term metadata, is specific to the various vocabularies and nomenclature of the organization, and serves as the foundation for any application that requires metadata.
This infrastructure framework assists agencies in reducing costs and increasing productivity. It allows knowledge workers to effectively query, use, and reuse agency content improving the speed and efficiency of operations in an environment where information can be shared and leveraged throughout the operations cycle. The elimination of inconsistent tagging and different publishing conventions across multiple content stores provides access to relevant content from internal and external sources.
For the agency, significant benefits can be achieved by removing the ambiguity in content through the identification of concepts within a large corpus of information. Concept Searching's solutions can be the catalysts to improve access to unstructured information, encourage innovation, and deliver real benefits to defense and intelligence entities, their constituents, and stakeholders.
The Smart Content Framework™ addresses information governance as it applies to unstructured and semi-structured assets. It consists of best practices, technologies, and people. This combination enables the organization to identify key enterprise challenges, develop policy surrounding the challenges, and enforce and measure the results.
This framework assists in defining major organizational risk factors, and results in the tactical changes needed in business processes. The building blocks include:
- Metadata – the development of an enterprise metadata repository that is flexible to address multiple business challenges with one set of technologies, and provides the ability to apply policy across diverse business groups, repositories, and applications
- Insight – improves any interactive metadata application such as search, eDiscovery, litigation support, FOIA, text analytics, social tagging, and collaboration, and is used as the data to analyze and quantify risk
- Risk – defined by staff to determine the organizational risk factors, and effectively identify and validate the specific risk, to analyze cost versus benefit
- Policy – defined by the organization to implement and enforce policy based on the risk factors
- Action – fulfills the organizational policies, enforceable and adaptable by end users, and can be quantifiable and able to be measured
The end result is the ability to deploy intelligent metadata enabled solutions that share the same framework for information governance. Instead of recreating the wheel for each challenge, with the framework in place, organizations can become more agile and improve business results more quickly and with less effort.
Industry Challenges
The rate at which technology advancements are being made means that federal agencies that lack the agility to embrace the advances at an equal rate are being left behind. Typically these entities have not kept up with technology capabilities. Challenges embedded in the institutional culture, a cumbersome regulatory and acquisition environment, and legacy applications that require modernization have contributed to the problem. The explosion of unstructured content, the increase in security breaches, the mandate for transitioning to the cloud, stagnant records management practices that continue unabated, increased FOIA and eDiscovery, and to some extent retiring baby boomers, all present on-going challenges to the government.
What are the challenges?
Lack of Information Transparency (FOIA and eDiscovery)
- Untagged Data Assets equal Untapped Resources. Information cannot be accessed or found because it is either mistagged or not tagged
- Time gap between information requests and discovery is directly proportional to the volume of data, and the longer it takes to find information the more costly that information becomes
- People do not "tag" for transparency despite the fact that every federal agency has a "Data Transparency" directive or regulation (e.g.: DoDD 8320 (Net-Centric Data Sharing)
Non-Compliance with Records Management Policies
- Documents of record are stored in the wrong location
- Information is not preserved in accordance with regulatory guidelines
- People do not "tag" with records retention codes, despite the fact that every federal agency has a "Records Management" directive or regulation (e.g.: DoD 5015 (Records Management Program)
Increasing volume of Unplanned Data Exposure Events
- Every federal agency experiences violations associated with the Privacy Act Program, Federal Information Management Security Act, HIPAA, and Payment Card Industry Guidelines
- PII, PHI, organizational confidential and sensitive information, all put federal organizations and their support contractors at risk
At a basic level, non-compliance with records management policies, lack of metadata for improving search, and increasing volumes of data exposure events are directly related to insufficient metadata. The limiting factor in all of these scenarios is the human element as it relates to behavior and training.
The fundamental technology problems that can improve the performance of the organization as a whole are delivered via Concept Searching product platforms. The challenges solved include:
- Search – inability to deliver relevant content in context, up-to-date content, exclude redundant information, and the inability to accommodate multiple search engines
- Records Management – the inability to accommodate the human factor, typically responsible for tagging and processing documents of record resulting in undeclared records and impacting the information lifecycle of individual pieces of content
- Security – the inability to define vocabulary and descriptors used for the real-time identification of confidential/data privacy exposures, remove it from unauthorized access, and prevent portability of the content
- Migration – inability to migrate content based on semantic metadata tagging to simplify pre-migration activities and improve the organization of content post-migration
- Cloud – inability to provide a consistent enterprise search interface regardless of the platform, unsure how to address on-premise risks that also apply to the cloud, such as security and records identification
- Text Analytics – inability to reduce the quantity of information to be analyzed, cleanse the content, and find the precise information needed to make informed decisions and gain insight into content
At the crux of all these applications and business process bottlenecks is metadata. The elimination of human metadata tagging, replaced with the automatic generation of multi-term semantic metadata, auto-classification, and taxonomy tools, enormous amounts of time and resources can be saved and allocated to moving the organization forward.
Concept Searching technologies are deployed today across a wide number of organizations both on the SIPR and NIPR networks, as well as the DISA network, and has defense clients with more than 70,000 users accessing a single application globally. Concept Searching also has a current enterprise Authority to Operate (ATO) with the US Air Force and an enterprise Certificate of Networthiness (CoN) for the US Army.
Below are the fundamental challenges our clients have faced followed by information on how they were able to address their challenges.

Information Governance
Information Governance is defined in the Smart Content Framework™ as a five prong process that provides the roadmap to optimize the value of information, while simultaneously minimizing the associated risks and costs. The components consist of Metadata, Insight, Risk, Policy, and Action. The Metadata building block is the development of a single repository of organizationally relevant metadata that is available to any application that requires its use. Insight provides the ability to find and deliver the most relevant and granular results from large, heterogeneous repositories. The third building block, Risk, is determined by the organization to identify high profile risk factors, and analyze the impact and cost for non-compliance. Policy is the response to organizational risk and includes organizational and individual approaches to mitigate or eliminate the risk. Action, the final building block is the execution and interactive management of the policies and subsequent processes that ensures all unstructured and semi-structured content is processed in a manner that achieves the information governance objectives.
Case Study
Information Transparency, Records, and Security
Enterprise search is an infrastructure component and the impact of poor search reaches far beyond the retrieval of information. Reaching out to impact eDiscovery and litigation support, and unauthorized access to confidential information, the results can increase costs as well as organizational risk. A core component in all Concept Searching platforms is the ability to automatically generate compound term metadata, eliminating end user tagging. Identifying relevant content during a search effectively removes ambiguity and enables the retrieval of information based on the concepts within the document, increasing both precision and recall.
Case Study
Achieving Precision Search and Retrieval
Sensitive, confidential, and data privacy information exists in documents, scanned items, faxed items, emails, and could be in any unstructured or semi-structured content. All Concept Searching platforms provide the ability to automatically identify, secure, and prohibit portability of organizationally defined vocabulary and descriptors. Since the metadata generation is not restricted to keywords, it is highly accurate in identifying potential security exposures, in real-time, as content is ingested or created and then routed to a secure repository for disposition. Full support for standard descriptors is included, and additional value is provided by the ability for the organization, or functional group, to define confidential information that falls outside of standard descriptors.
Case Study
Eliminating Security Breaches
Automatic Identification of Documents of Record
Regardless if you are using the SharePoint Records Center, or a third party application, records management and the lifecycle of documents of record is typically a challenge, in any industry In the DoD and military it is almost overwhelming. The biggest stumbling block has always been end user tagging. With complex file plans, and the fact that human tagging is often haphazard at best, organizations can often unwittingly fall into the trap of non-compliance. The Concept Searching platforms, are being used in records management to automatically identify documents of record, auto-classify the content to a taxonomy that mirrors the file plan, and route directly to the records management application.
Case Study:
Eliminating End User Tagging in Records Management
FOIA and eDiscovery
eDiscovery and Litigation support is costly, time-consuming, and risky. Although the real costs of eDiscovery and litigation support can be estimated, they are often hard to determine, let alone plan for. The best defense is the on-going management of data to ensure preparedness. Unmanaged information carries a great deal of risk as it can be used in unintended way. During the eDiscovery or FOIA process the same basic problem of finding relevant information occurs, which is costly and unproductive. The volumes are also bordering on unprecedented, and facilitating the eDiscovery or FOIA process is a drain on human resources, and carries risk and well as increasing costs.
Case Study
Classifying Terabytes of Data Improves FOIA Processing
Knowledge Portal
Regardless of what term the agency uses, a knowledge resources repository typically exists to capture not only past and current knowledge assets, but also the intellectual assets based on the staff's expertise and knowledge, for re-use and knowledge sharing. One of the biggest benefits of the Concept Searching platforms is the ability to aggregated content from file shares, SharePoint, web sites, and diverse applications to provide a single point of reference for knowledge workers. Supporting navigational, concept based, and discovery type searches, the user can directly access the information needed, or the user can be guided to relevant content, identifying relationships between content, and offering topics and information that typically would not be found.
Case Study
Improving intelligence and decision making in New Zealand
Text Analytics
The ability to aggregate very precise information from diverse sources and then analyze them can be invaluable in decision making and reducing costs. Data is machine driven, whereas unstructured content is driven by people, which makes the nuances, insights, relationships of disparate content, sentiment, and knowledge capital much more difficult to extract. Using Concept Searching product platforms before text analysis, the quantity of content can be reduced through an initial cleansing. Once the 'noise' has been eliminated, the ability to analyze the content at a very granular level produces actionable results that can be used to solve problems, reduce costs, and improve decision making.
Case Study
Intelligence – Text Analytics Mining
Intelligent Migration
All Concept Searching clients use the product platforms to migrate content. The US Air Force sites have been using it to migrate to 2010, and now to 2013. To migrate document collections effectively, the text content of each document needs to be searched to determine its value. This cannot be done manually, as the volume is too high, and the consistency of human review and decision making is unreliable as well as costly. Using Concept Searching platforms, an intelligent approach to migration can be achieved. As content is migrated it is analyzed for organizationally defined descriptors and vocabularies, that will automatically classify the content to taxonomies, or optionally the SharePoint Term Store, and automatically apply organizationally defined workflows to process the content to the appropriate repository for review and disposition. Concept Searching migration capabilities include migrating from File Stores to File Stores, File Stores to SharePoint, SharePoint to SharePoint, and provides the ability to define a Custom Action through the conceptTaxonomyWorkflow product.
Case Study
Pre and Post Migration Solutions
Moving to the cloud can provide a strong return on investment and enable ubiquitous access for end users regardless of where they are located. But moving to a cloud environment, or even a hybrid environment, poses challenges with regards to applying a consistent information governance strategy across all environments. The Concept Searching platforms have been deployed in the cloud, including Office 365 and Amazon AWS, and enables effective management of unstructured content by enforcing and extending an enterprises' on-premise information governance policies within the cloud environment. Metadata driven policy actions on content used in search, migration, identifying and securing sensitive information, or in the automatic declaration of documents of record, are some of the key capabilities available in a cloud environment. conceptTaxonomyWorkflow, an add-on product, provides the workflow capabilities and is available in all product platforms.
Why Metadata Matters to You
The CIO or CTO in any industry faces both strategic and tactical challenges. In intelligence and military agencies the responsibilities are broad and challenging. The strategic challenges must be carefully addressed with a focus on the impact at a tactical level. Budgetary constraints can change the priorities, and force a 'pick and choose' philosophy to improve performance. One of the key differentiators in the Concept Searching platforms is the re-usability of the core technologies to solve multiple content management and business process challenges. This provides a cost benefit in terms of the elimination of separate solutions to address key application challenges, a reduction in staff to implement and maintain the applications, and transparent usability from the end user perspective. The flexibilty of the intelligent metadata enabled solutions can address search, FOIA and eDiscovery, records management, eliminate data privacy and data breaches, provide intelligent migration, social media applications, text analytics capabilities, and over all content management. The ability to leverage the existing infrastructure to improve these challenges assists the CIO/CTO in addressing multiple issues. An additional key component in the Concept Searching platforms is the ability to deploy in an on-premise environment, cloud, or hybrid environment.
Knowledge Managers
The management of knowledge is a significant and on-going task for Knowledge Managers, librarians, or taxonomy specialists. With content continually in a state of flux, the management of knowledge uses a multidimensional approach that must capture, make available, share, and maximize the value of content, to achieve organizational knowledge. Managed effectively, it leverages content assets as well as captures intellectual assets, that ultimately drives innovation. Using conceptTaxonomyManager, a core component in all platforms, the development and management of taxonomies was designed for Subject Matter Experts and provides an easy-to-use interactive interface. The product provides a rules based engine that eliminates the need for training sets and highly specialized human resources, that is unique to conceptTaxonomyManager. Other unique features in the product include automatic taxonomy node clue suggestion, dynamic screen updating to immediately see impact of changes in the taxonomy, and document movement feedback to see cause and effect of changes without re-indexing.
Knowledge Users
End users need to access relevant information to their specific role which not only increases productivity, but also contributes to organizational performance. This can be a challenge as content delivered during the search process must address the needs of each individual user, multiple communities, geographies, locations, who all need information that is only relevant to them. Because of the ability to generate compound term metadata that represents a concept, the ambiguity in search is removed. Eliminating the need for often subjective and erroneous metadata, metadata is automatically generated and classified to the taxonomies, where it can be managed and refined. Working with any search engine, the metadata is fed to the search index to enable concept based search across the organization. Users no longer need to know 'how to search', as the combination of the metadata and taxonomies can return relevant information, or guide them to the information they need. Since the products aggregate content from diverse repositories, users are provided with a holistic view of content regardless of where it resides, based on their access rights.
Information Technology Professionals
Regardless if you are a SharePoint Administrator, or the CTO, Concept Searching technologies make your management of metadata easy. Integrated natively with the SharePoint Term Store, Concept Searching platforms remove the manual processes of metadata management, eliminates end user adoption issues, and aligns IT with business objectives. Installed quickly and easily, you can start classifying content in a matter of hours. Without a taxonomy expert on staff, the interactive, powerful, yet easy-to-use taxonomy tools can be used by business or IT professionals. Organizations can build an enterprise metadata repository, and provide the re-usable technology to any application that requires the use of metadata.
Privacy Officer/Security Professionals
At any level of government, the organization is highly vulnerable to internal and external data privacy exposures and breaches, where repercussions can be costly. The benefits of the Concept Searching platforms is the ability for the organization to define what is confidential information and should be protected, either internally or externally. Standard descriptors such as social security number are included in the base platforms. Content that is deemed confidential, is easily added as a rule to address specific organizational requirements. Content containing the vocabulary or descriptors is automatically flagged at creation or ingestion and routed to a secure repository, made unavailable during the search process by unauthorized users, and protected against portability.
Records Managers
In records management, automatic declaration of documents of record, elimination of end user tagging, automatic application of content types, and routing of the document of record to the records management application reduces organizational risk, and improves information lifecycle management. Concept Searching product platforms eliminate end user tagging, automatically declares documents of record, automates document workflow for storage, preservation, access, and usage controls, and automatically enforces protection of the records integrity, throughout the individual document lifecycle eliminating many of the fundamental obstacles faced by records professionals on a day-to-day basis.
eDiscovery and FOIA
For both eDiscovery and FOIA, professional users all need accurate and rapid access to relevant information. The key is to facilitate the search process, and reduce unproductive queries to try to 'find' the relevant information. Since content is automatically tagged with relevant, conceptual metadata, it can be retrieved by specifying concepts or descriptors. A significant advantage is the elimination of complex queries and, through vocabulary normalization, ambiguities are eliminated and related content is identified even though the specific vocabulary wasn't specified in the query.
Compliance Professionals
The government can cross global boundaries, as well as within the country. Additional security and compliance mandates are critical to the process of managing the compliance challenges associated with unstructured information. The resources and time drain is enormous to stay current in regards to, changing mandates, as well as multinational content asset protection. The value of the Concept Searching platforms is the ability to rapidly develop information governance and compliance rules that can immediately identify any compliance violation at the time of content creation or ingestion. These violations can then be flagged and automatically routed to a repository for disposition.

Thrilling win keeps Oceanside perfect
1 2 Next page >
Oceanside's perfect football season was in peril until senior quarterback Tom Capone helped the Sailors to a dramatic 28-24 victory at Massapequa last Saturday.
The Sailors, who entered the game with a 4-0 mark in Conference I, went into the fourth quarter down 17-14 and still trailed 24-14 late in the game. But Capone connected with senior Anthony Pintabona on a 23-yard scoring pass and then, with under a minute to play, capped off a 60-yard drive with a 6-yard touchdown run. Capone completed 17 of 30 attempts for 233 yards and two scores and also rushed for 159 yards. He spread those passes out to five different receivers, led by Pintabona, who caught 12 throws for 192 yards and two scores. For the season, Capone has completed 61 of 101 passes for 1,005 yards and 11 touchdowns. Pintabona has 29 catches for 522 yards.
The Sailors were coming off a 22-0 win over Syosset on Sept. 29. In that game, Capone was 20 for 27 for 238 yards and also rushed for a touchdown. In a 45-14 win over Plainview-JFK the previous week, Capone attempted just 12 throws as Justin Buckley (128 yards), Shane Saucier (125) and Vassili Grigorakos (100) each rushed for at least 100 yards. Capone threw for 207 yards and three touchdowns in a 36-21 win over East Meadow and 218 in a 42-6 victory over Valley Stream Central. Pintabona, Buckley, Saucier, Grigakos and Luke Schwasnick have been his most frequent targets, but Ryan McCarthy and Tim Nolan have also contributed to the offense as the Sailors have outscored the opposition 173-65 in their first five games.
The Sailors ability to score quickly became an issue as they trailed Massapequa (3-2) with time slipping away. Pintabona's 43-yard catch-and-run closed the deficit to 17-14 in the third quarter, but then Massapequa added a touchdown. Capone found Pintabona again, this time for 23 yards, and then the Sailors got the ball back for the final time with the game on the line, trailing 24-21. Needing a field goal to tie and a touchdown to win, they got the touchdown, Capone muscling in from six yards out. He'd given the sailors their first score on a 75-yard run after Massapequa had gone ahead 10-0 in the first quarter, and he gave them their final points.

Tool review: Rail-Guided Saws
- • Why buy?
- • On cut quality and power
- • Rail details make the diff
On cut quality and power
If you've ever crosscut oak-veneered plywood, you know that the porous grain makes it difficult for nearly any saw and blade to cut cleanly. And the brittle surface of melamine-coated particleboard chips if you look at it wrong, much less cut it with a power saw.
All of the saws delivered impressive cuts [photo] on the "keeper" workpiece in both materials, thanks to the zero-clearance edge--a sacrificial plastic strip on the track that you cut the first time you use it. Like a zero-clearance throat insert in your tablesaw, it virtually eliminates tear-out and fuzzing.
These machines excel at cutting sheet goods; but could one replace your tablesaw? In 4/4 poplar, ripcuts required some sanding or a light jointer pass before gluing. But in thick, dense stock (we tried 8/4 hard maple), ripcuts tested the limits of some saws. Although some displayed ample power to slab off strips of 2"-thick hard maple, others required slower feed speeds, which sometimes resulted in burning on the cut edges.
Because of the spring-loaded plunge system, setting cutting depth on these saws isn't as simple as on an ordinary circ saw. Instead of pivoting the base, you must set a depth stop. All operate easily, but we prefer a scale that shows cutting depth by the thickness of material you're cutting--the 1/2" setting, for example, actually projects the blade 3/4" below the saw base to account for the rail thickness. On the metric-marked scales on the some saws, you need to set the stop to at least 16mm for the blade to cut completely through 12mm (1/2") stock.
Is the Festool plunging circular saw worth $500? Probably not. But I love mine. It helped me create a very nice kitchen table. If it helps me out of a major bind nine more times, then I guess it just might be worth $50 an episode.4/3/2010 09:39:09 PM Report Abuse
As a cheaper but efficient alternative, wath's your opinion on the Eurekazone guide system. Except from plunging with your saw, is the system worth buying.4/3/2010 01:09:19 PM Report Abuse

Got a minute?
Got a minute?

Eric Ortiz, a 41-year-old veteran, told NBC News that his internship for the 2012/2013 school year was full of empty promises. He claims the company continually extended his contract with the "implied" promise of a future job.
A Contract Is a Contract
There are many things wrong with this picture, not the least of which is there is no such thing as an "implied" contract, at least not in the legal sense. You can have a contract, you can even have a verbal agreement, but you can't expect a judge to take you seriously because the other party didn't hold up their end of an unspoken, "implied" contract. If you think you have an "implied" contract with another party, please stop reading this article right now, and go ask for clarification.
Students and Entry Level Jobs
According to NBC News, Ortiz was working as a graphic design intern for a publishing company and receiving college credit. That's the second thing wrong with the idea that interns are free labor: they are receiving college credit. They are students. If Ortiz's internship kept getting extended, he better have received more necessary credits toward graduation.
In theory, companies that "hire" interns are offering them valuable training that would not be offered to a paid employee. In other words, the students do not have to know as much as a new hire.
Professional Training
The argument that an intern is taking away the job of a new hire comes with numerous assumptions:
It may have a lot to do with the type of work the student intern hopes to do upon graduation. Some professions need less supervision, mentorship, and training of interns; others, more.
A student in hotel management may not need to log 3,000 hours before he can work as a hotel manager; psychologists in many states need to log those hours before they may become licensed.
It also depends upon what the intern is expected to do while working. If the tasks at hand have educational value, then it is likely an internship and not an entry-level job. If the hotel manager intern spends the bulk of his time cleaning rooms for free, he is working as an entry-level maid. If he spends a day doing it, it may have educational value in that the manager must have experience doing all aspects of keeping up a hotel.
Interns are not taking away jobs from entry-level employees, nor are they a drain on the economy. They are hard-working students getting valuable experience and training toward their degree and their professional careers.

It was a good flat all around.
Pros: in a nice neighbourhood full of restaurants, street food, markets, and a great night life. Seconds to the bus stop. Well equipped kitchen and clean. Wifi worked well in the bedroom only.
Cons: it was obviously hot because there was no AC during the heat wave but the fan was helpful at bedtime. The shower was a little awkward. It was also quite dark in the apartment so beware it may feel like you are in a cave. Antonella says she will be renovating so hoping this will be considered.
We still enjoyed our stay here very much and Antonella is very reliable and informed.
Precioso apartamento para dos personas,no faltaba de nada, muy bien situado cerca de todo y trastevere sitio muy tranquilo para dormir y cenar.La atención de Antonella fue muy buena.Gracias por todo!
Antonella es amable y agradable. Nos facilitó la llegada al igual que las recomendaciones que nos hizo para conocer la ciudad.
El Apartamento se encuentra en una zona muy agradable y es muy confortable. Sin dua alguna, repetiríamos!!
A lovely apartment in a fantastic location. Antonella was very flexible and gave some great tips and advice. Would definitely recommend!
The flat is perfectly located in trastevere one of the nicest part of rome with a lot of bars and restaurants. From there also all the big sightseeing spots are in walking distance.
The flat is very cosy and very very very clean. Better than in most of the hotels. Only the fact that you can hear the neighbours very loud like they are standing next to you (if they dont pay attention so much) downgraded our rating. But we had this problem only the first morning. The other time it was fine.
Antonella is very friendly, reliable and the communicaton with her was very easy.
All in once: We definately would come back!
We were 5 marvellous days in Rome and Antonella's appartment has been the best place to be. It's small but it has everything you need to be confortable. And the most important thing, It's in the modele of Trastevere área, the coolest zone of Rome.
Antonella, thank you very much for your attentions, your help and your hospitality. We'll come back for sure. See you soon.
Kind regards
A super flat with lots of character and charm in a perfect location in Trastevere. The flat was very comfortable, well-equipped and easy to feel 'at home' in.Antonella is a welcoming , knowledgeable and very helpful host. I would recommend the place to anyone coming to Rome.
God, men lidt mørk lejlighed med en rigtig god, central og hyggelig beliggenhed ved en lille piazza med en god bager, hvor man kan få sin morgenmad, og et par mindre gode restauranter. Lejligheden er ren og pæn, indretningen ok, den er velegnet til 2-3 personer. Værtinden, Antonella, er meget hjælpsom og imødekommende.
It was great holidays. Apartament looks exactly the same like on photos,it is clean and everything we needed was provided.
Location is perfect - a lot of nice restaurants in Trastevere, and only 20 minutes of walk to city center and to all attractions of Rome. There wasn't any problem with early check-out - Antonella was on time.
Great value for the money.
Recomiendo este apartamento sin ninguna duda. La zona es inmejorable, y el apartamento muy acogedor y muy limpio. Si vuelvo a Roma lo volveré a alquilar. Gracias Antonella!

A resident of the Aikwangwon Home and School for the Mentally and Physically Disabled performing the song "Gangnam Style" for 117 active-duty and reserve sailors during their community service visit. The sailors used part of their break time during exercise Ulchi Freedom Guardian 2012 to volunteer at the facility by doing general maintenance, landscaping and cooking the 325 residents, staff and teachers hamburgers and hotdogs. Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 74, detachment Chinhae, built and installed new bathroom doors and partitions as well as spackled cracked walls around the facility.

Every Friday, as part of our new 'weekly wellbeing' initiative, HuffPost UK Lifestyle will be picking their favourite feel-good story from around the web to share with our lovely readers.
With one quarter of Brits admitting to getting stressed every day and countless studies linking anxiety to mental and physical health problems, what better start to the weekly round-up than some tips to help you de-stress?
With the help of Dr. Cynthia Ackrill from the American Institute of Stress, HuffPost 50 came up with 16 top stress-busting tips to ease the strain of everyday life.
"When you 'feel' stress reduce, you are feeling your heart rate calm, your brainwaves organize, your vessels dilating, and your physiology and emotional state return to neutral," Dr. Ackrill said.
"A number of activities have stress-reducing effects for multiple reasons."
Ahhh. Why does taking a warm bath instantly destress us? "[It] calms our physiology [and] relaxes the vessels," explains Dr. Ackrill of the American Institute of Stress and WellSpark, a leadership development firm.
Praying can lead people to feel a connection with their spiritual health, writes Dr. Cynthia Ackrill.
"I have a love affair with chocolate, but unfortunately, sugar is not a help in stress," Dr. Ackrill shares with Huff/Post50. "We crave it -- we want dopamine and serotonin to feel better -- but it is not a help at all in the long run. Sugar actually is inflammatory (a version of a stressor)."
Got a dog (or two or three)? "Loving pets lowers blood pressure and increases immune responses, counteracting the negative effects of stress," Dr. Ackrill explains. But don't think your puppy isa stress cure-all, she explains. "Don't keep living a life that is filled with stress and stressful perspectives, then love on your dog -- make changes and love the dog!"
"Some music actually increases coherence of our heart rate -- a really healthy state," Dr. Ackrill writes. "And if you are actively listening you are less focused on the stress."
Don't underestimate the power of human connection as a form of instant stress reduction. "We need more touch, [which is] sometimes a challenge as we age," Dr. Ackrill writes. "Massage even releases anti-stress chemicals."
The rhythmic movement and creative energy expelled during a knitting session can instantly reduce stress.
When you listen to an audiobook to destress, you're "usually [shifting] focus," Dr. Ackrill allows. "But if the stressor is still looming, this may only be procrastination. If it sparks creative thinking to deal with a stressor -- to expand thought patterns -- it may be helpful."
When you walk the dog you're hitting three stress reducers in one activity: exercise, and being around animals and nature, according to Dr. Ackrill.
When we are stressed out, we tend to get dehydrated, Dr. Ackrill explained. Drinking water can be soothing and a way to help our bodys handle all the reactions that happen when we're stressed.
Readers told us they automatically destressed when they heard Dave Matthews' music. (For a two-for, watch Dave Matthews Band's video for the single "Everyday," featuring lots of hugs.)
As with chocolate, this instant destressor can actually cause more harm than good in the long run. While we love that rush of feel-good hormones dopamine and serotonin, sugar causes inflammation, a type of internal stress.
A number of Facebook fans said deep breathing instantly reduces their stress, and for good reason. "This is one of the oldest and cheapest forms of stress management known to mankind!" writes Dr. Ackrill. "Mindful breathing resets brain patterns, increases heart rate coherence, lowers blood pressure and many more effects." Yoga and meditation also made it on the list.
Experiencing the love of our families creates a connection that releases inflammation-fighting DHEA and other chemicals, explains Dr. Ackrill.
Crying can release tension, but is not a proven stress reducer, Dr. Ackrill told Huff/Post50.
Dr. Ackrill calls dancing an "excellent" way to instantly reduce stress. "Movement releases stress reducing chemicals as well as chemicals that support brain growth. Exercise rivals antidepressants."

Vanderpump Rules
Scheana Marie: I'm Glad Stassi Schroeder Left SUR
Stassi Schroeder dropped a bit of a bombshell on this week's Vanderpump Rules Season 2 Reunion when she announced that she now lives in NYC and doesn't work at SUR anymore. So how does Scheana Marie feel about Stassi not working there anymore?
"I definitely think the vibe at SUR is better now," Scheana writes in her Bravo blog. "Honestly, it is nice having Stassi gone. She was a fake friend to me, and - as much as I will always care about her well being, and I want her to be happy — I feel happier she isn't a big part of my life anymore." Harsh!
"I've heard a lot of things she's said about me through the course of the show, on- and off-camera, and she's not someone I care to have in my life anymore," Scheana writes. "She used me for what she needed at the time and when she was done, she was done. Simple as that. I don't want someone who is a fake friend a part of my wedding or my life."
Have the two kept in touch since filming Season 2? Uh, not so much. "We haven't really spoken since August, and that was on her, not me," Scheana says. "I tried to hang with her, and she couldn't even return a text message, so I am done."
Do you understand where Scheana is coming from? And do you think Scheana and Stassi will patch things up?

I am hoping to use an older Dura-Ace Crankset for a fixed gear set-up (on a track bike.)
Budget fix for the first little and will upgrade parts as I have $.
Since the track hub and cog in the back will give a 42mm chainline, I will most likely need to run the chainring on the inside (of the double crank.)
I believe the spindle length for this crank set is a 109 for a 43mm chainline (on a road bike set-up.)
does anyone know where this would put the chainline of the inner chainring and the outer chainring? (assuming that the 43 is the center of the two double chainrings?)
If I wanted to run on the outer chainring, could i just get a smaller spindle length BB (107, 105?)
Will I run into problems with putting this crankset on a smaller BB?
I know the correct answer is to go to my LBS but I would just as soon build this on my own and learn some lessons...

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Live Recap: Season 4, Episode 9 — "Into the Deep"
Is Ashley Marin finally a free woman? Why did Mona confess to Wilden's murder? Will Aria ever be able to say the "d-word" (D-A-T-E)? These are just a few of the questions on our minds heading into tonight's episode of Pretty Little Liars (Season 4, Episode 9 — "Into the Deep"). Seeing as this is Pretty Little Liars after all, we're not holding our breath for answers, but we're pretty certain Emily's birthday will go out with a (literal) bang, especially with Jenna looming.
Parties are always a source of major drama for the Liars (remember when Hanna was hit by a car at Mona's birthday party?), and with an episode this far into the season, we're betting something big goes down.
Here's the official ABC Family synopsis of the episode:
"Paige throws Emily a surprise birthday party with even more surprising guests — Jenna and Shana. But it's "A's" actions at the party that lead to the biggest shock of all. Mona's selfless act provides Hanna and her mother with their first bit of good news, but sends Mona down a familiar path. And Ezra gets some distressing news from Maggie regarding her and Malcolm.
Meanwhile, Aria and Jake (Ryan Guzman) continue trying to define their confusing relationship. And Emily meets with a world class coach in a last ditch effort to salvage her swimming career."
Now, this is a live blog, so if you want to join us in fan-girling all over "Into the Deep's" many OMG moments, keep refreshing for the latest updates. Until Season 4, Episode 9 officially starts (at 8 p.m. ET on ABC Family!), here's a GIF that describes how we feel about Jenna's return to get you through the next few hours.
8:00 — Hello Pastor Ted. Where have you been while your girlfriend has been in jail, hmm?
8:01 — Mona, you are an excellent Little Liar.
8:01 — "You snuck out of a mental institution?" "Many times." Oh, Mona, you are giving us SHIVERS. You are cray, girl, and we love it.
8:02 — So Mona is playing the self defense card... interesting.
8:03 — Is Mona helping Ashley or hurting her? It looks like Mrs. Hastings doesn't think Ashley is off the hook for Wilden's murder just yet.
8:04 — SHIRTLESS JAKE. (More, please.)
8:04 — Jake slept over at Aria's?! OK, he slept on her couch, but they are getting breakfast together, which is kind of coupley, right?
8:05 — Emily think Mona is setting the Liars up. We wouldn't put it past her, Em!
8:06 — OK, Paige. You are officially the best girlfriend ever.
8:07 — No one cares, Maggie — especially not Ezra.
8:08 — Nevermind. Ezra does care that Maggie and Malcolm are moving to Washington D.C.
8:08 — Eek! A $1 million bail?! You might as well stay in jail, Ashley. Orange is really growing on you.
8:12 — Whoa. This coach is intense.
8:13 — Poor Hanna. The Marin girls just can't catch a break.
8:14 — TWIST: What if Pastor Ted is "A"?! Just kidding...
8:15 — Caleb is trying to sell his car for Ashley Marin's bail?! BEST BOYFRIEND EVER.
8:16 — Do you really want to play this game right now, Maggie?
8:18 — "I don't have much time left." Jenna, what are you talking about?
8:21 — "My bail was posted anonymously." We all know Pastor Ted bailed you out, Ashley.
8:22 — Poor Emily! Things are going from bad to worse. It's not going to be a very happy birthday...
8:24 — So Jenna is losing her sight again. Is that why she said she "doesn't have much time left"?
8:24 — Where there's Shana, Jenna isn't far behind.
8:25 — Where is Maury when you need him, amirite Ezra?
8:27 — #AWKWARD surprise birthday entrance, Em!
8:31 — Seriously, if they're giving Pastor Ted this much screen time, he must be important... somehow.
8:32 — Shana, what creepy game are you and Jenna playing?
8:34 — Where is Wren?!!
8:35 — "We're not going to be together next year." OH MY PAILY FEELS.
8:35 — So much awkward tension.
8:36 — Mona is all business. It looks like she's headed back to Radley!
8:41 — Are you jealous, Aria?
8:43 — So many Paily feels right now.
8:43 — Jenna vs. Aria: IT'S ON.
8:45 — Ashley, what are you doing confessing your sins to Pastor Ted? This better be an important storyline...
8:46 — So Pastor Ted DID pay Ashley's bail! Called it.
8:47 — Can they please give Jenna more to do already?!
8:51 — She isn't dead... yet. But someone did bash her skull in and throw her in a lake, so we're not really sure if Jenna is going to pull through this one. But does this mean Jenna is "A's" target, too?
8:53 — Nothing good ever comes from these parties.
8:54 — "I think someone wanted to make sure we didn't find out what she knows about Allison." Yep, probably.
8:54 — "I knew your life was complicated, but I didn't know it was anything like this." Understatement of the year, Jake!
8:56 — So Shana is pretty certain Ali is dead. "Who is Jenna so afraid of," questions Spencer. "CeCe Drake." REALLY? Is CeCe being framed, or could she really be Red Coat?
8:59 — Now "A" plays piano, too?!

May 29, 2016
As the governor huddles with her budget aides and legislators to discuss cuts that will total more than $900 million, educators are asking that they be spared.
A handful of representatives from various Michigan school boards demonstrated at the state capitol on Monday. They're hoping to influence lawmakers to stay away from more K through 12 education cuts.
Instead they're advocating a pause in the state income tax rollback scheduled to take affect in January.
The governor is expected to announce her budget-balancing plan later this week.
