Well Hillary killed and ate the hearts of forty of them, and used their bones to make a throne of nacre, gristle, and woe.   A lawyer by nine, a lauded academic by twelve, she hit the ground running with more raw potential than a non-rapist Kennedy. Laser smart and brilliantly ambitious she had a future as huge as the voluminous skirts she used to hide her hefty balls. Then she met slick Willie styles, and was charm blasted into being an unheralded adjunct to the philander general. She hitched her wagon to that rutting stud, and rode the old shame trail straight to the White House. Years later they made her a Senator for her trouble. Posted by A.J. Valliant

I love this part of the world. 21 Feb 2008 format wars Blu-Ray beat HD-DVD, and the high-res DVD format was is over. I pity the fools who bought HD-DVD players, which are basically worthless now. They're like those people at the race track who find themselves holding a fist full of worthless paper at the end of the race. (At least, that's what they do in movies.) Format wars are nothing new though. The battle over the color television protocol is an odd one. In 1950, the FCC ruled in favor of the CBS' proposal (because their demo worked well), but in 1953 was forced to reverse its decision because RCA kicked their ass in the marketplace. RCA's proposal evolved into NTSC, and all 100 CBS-compatible color TVs were scrap. The AC/DC war in the 1880s was even more colorful. AC power eventually triumphed, but DC had a large user base in New York City. Most buildings converted to AC or installed local transformers, but the local electric company (Con Edison) was still delivering DC power to a few customers

A lanky fellow, this new guard stood across the fire from me and I settled in, not sure what would come next but for the moment just enjoying the sun. Earlier in the day I'd done something and pulled the button loose from the top of my pants - it was still attached but just barely - and I knew I had a basic sewing kit in my haversack, so I decided it was a fine time to secure that button. I set to work, didn't take me too long - but by the time I finished the sun was warm across my back. I sat forward in my chair, removed my wool overcoat, and folded it onto my lap. Not more than a minute had gone by when another guard strolled over to the fire, at which point my guard said, "Ma'am, please don't try to distract me with your feminine wiles. I'll have to ask you to put your jacket back on." Of course I did as I was asked, giggling to myself.

    Extractions: new recent Authors: Grisha Perelman (Submitted on 11 Nov 2002) Abstract: We present a monotonic expression for the Ricci flow, valid in all dimensions and without curvature assumptions. It is interpreted as an entropy for a certain canonical ensemble. Several geometric applications are given. In particular, (1) Ricci flow, considered on the space of riemannian metrics modulo diffeomorphism and scaling, has no nontrivial periodic orbits (that is, other than fixed points); (2) In a region, where singularity is forming in finite time, the injectivity radius is controlled by the curvature; (3) Ricci flow can not quickly turn an almost euclidean region into a very curved one, no matter what happens far away. We also verify several assertions related to Richard Hamilton's program for the proof of Thurston geometrization conjecture for closed three-manifolds, and give a sketch of an eclectic proof of this conjecture, making use of earlier results on collapsing with local lower curvature bound.

    This page dedicates to a generalpurpose machine learning technique called Maximum entropy Modeling (MaxEnt for short). On this page you will find  
    http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/s0450736/maxent.html
    
    Extractions: Information theory provides a constructive criterion for setting up probability distributions on the basis of partial knowledge, and leads to a type of statistical inference which is called the maximum entropy estimate. It is least biased estimate possible on the given information; i.e., it is maximally noncommittal with regard to missing information That is to say, when characterizing some unknown events with a statistical model, we should always choose the one that has Maximum Entropy. Maximum Entropy Modeling has been successfully applied to Computer Vision, Spatial Physics, Natural Language Processing and many other fields. This page will focus on applying Maxent to Natural Language Processing (NLP). The concept of Maximum Entropy can be traced back along multiple threads to Biblical times. However, not until the late of 21st century has computer become powerful enough to handle complex problems with statistical modeling technique like Maxent.
