Christine Rouse is honored on the “Today Show”
The executive director of Acting Without Boundaries (AWB), Christine Rouse, was featured on the NBC Today Show with “Kathie Lee and Hoda” on March 1, 2012. The monthly segment, called “Everyone Has A Story,” features one ordinary person that has had a life-changing experience in their own life. Christine submitted an essay describing her life’s mission of increasing awareness of and support for people with disabilities. She described the process of creating the two non-profits she manages – “Kids are Kids,” which provides disability awareness workshops and AWB which provides theater arts opportunities for children, youth and young adults with physical disabilities . Christine talked about the importance of both in increasing inclusion for people, especially young people, with physical disabilities.
The March “Everyone Has A Story” segment featured Christine, her mother, and her brother. Christine’s mother read a letter she wrote about Christine’s life and the pride she takes in her many accomplishments. John Tartaglia, a Broadway performer sang a song written for Christine – “Different is Beautiful”- by Kathie Lee Gifford and David Freidman. The song has a powerful message and will be performed by AWB actors in the near future.
To cap off this exciting experience, the Today Show honored Christine’s work with $1000 donations to each of her organizations, Kids are Kids and AWB.

Taylor Swift Promises Reinvention & Collaborations On Next Album
View Comments (Courtesy Big Machine Records)
new music, red, sweeter than fiction, Taylor Swift
Following the success of her last album, Red, Taylor Swift says she’ll be working with several prominent songwriters once again. In an interview with Billboard, the “Sweeter Than Fiction” singer revealed what fans can expect from her fifth release.
“I’m really loving collaboration right now,” said Swift. “I see it as a bit of an apprenticeship. I want to be around people who love writing songs and have done it for years. Every time I’m in a studio I’m learning, like how to build a drum track, and getting a new perspective on things. It’s so thrilling to keep learning on your fifth album.
“As soon as [an album] comes out I’m figuring out what the next one will be,” she continued. “It’s gotten to the point where each one is a reinvention, which is what I like best. I like it when it sounds new and people don’t know where you’re going to go next.”

Brain Fog Causes and Cloudy Thinking
Created by Drew | : New Brain Information You should know that brain fog is very common to experience for people of all ages. Brain fog can happen to anyone, young or old, and is recognized by symptoms of disorientation, lack of mental accuracy, and forgetfulness. A person suffering from brain fog will begin to forget things and cut themselves off from the world. This isolation can easily lead to low spirits and feelings of despair.
Brain fog influences literally thousands of different people and can cause serious difficulties on the job, in the classroom, and at home. People suffering from brain fog often develop feelings of low dignity and low self-worth which can harm their personal relationships. Some people claim that brain fog can cause you to become so depressed that you begin engaging in illegal and destructive activities.
Brain Fog Causes
Although brain fog happens fairly often, the medical and psychology fields aren’t very quick to diagnose or admit that it occurs. There are a lot of people that have been affected by brain fog for many years and still can’t get a doctor to diagnose and treat them. It has been pointed out by certain groups, who believe it should be diagnosed as a medical problem, that some individuals have experienced it for so long that they believe it is a normal and healthy way of life.
Brain fog causes include a number of contributing factors such as physical problems, emotional issues, or chemical imbalances. Some believe that brain fog may even be caused by spiritual reason | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/4 | {"url": "http://4mind4life.com/blog/2010/01/17/brain-fog-causes-and-cloudy-thinking/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "4mind4life.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:32:06Z", "digest": "sha1:DUKETRK7JKV6FF5UG65526BAKT3EIGSF"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1620, 1620.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1620, 1760.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1620, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1620, 16.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1620, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1620, 295.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1620, 0.43278689]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1620, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1620, 0.07278241]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1620, 0.0318423]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1620, 0.0318423]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1620, 0.00327869]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1620, 0.09836066]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1620, 0.56569343]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1620, 4.81386861]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1620, 4.68494584]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1620, 274.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 34, 0.0], [34, 53, 0.0], [53, 90, 0.0], [90, 527, 1.0], [527, 933, 1.0], [933, 950, 0.0], [950, 1427, 1.0], [1427, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 34, 0.0], [34, 53, 0.0], [53, 90, 0.0], [90, 527, 0.0], [527, 933, 0.0], [933, 950, 0.0], [950, 1427, 0.0], [1427, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 34, 7.0], [34, 53, 3.0], [53, 90, 6.0], [90, 527, 74.0], [527, 933, 64.0], [933, 950, 3.0], [950, 1427, 87.0], [1427, 1620, 30.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 34, 0.0625], [34, 53, 0.0], [53, 90, 0.0], [90, 527, 0.0], [527, 933, 0.0], [933, 950, 0.0], [950, 1427, 0.0], [1427, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 34, 0.0], [34, 53, 0.0], [53, 90, 0.0], [90, 527, 0.0], [527, 933, 0.0], [933, 950, 0.0], [950, 1427, 0.0], [1427, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 34, 0.14705882], [34, 53, 0.15789474], [53, 90, 0.13513514], [90, 527, 0.02059497], [527, 933, 0.00738916], [933, 950, 0.17647059], [950, 1427, 0.00628931], [1427, 1620, 0.01036269]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1620, 0.45464528]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1620, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1620, 0.00999242]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1620, -40.5929767]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1620, 22.09836109]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1620, -44.97684743]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1620, 12.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |
hide Positive outlook in heart disease tied to fewer deaths
Friday, September 20, 2013 9:20 a.m. EDT
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People with heart disease who are more upbeat and excited tend to live longer than those who don't have such a positive outlook, a new study suggests, possibly because they are often more active.
Researchers surveyed people with ischemic heart disease - when the heart doesn't get enough blood due to narrowed arteries - and found earning a high score on measures of "positive affect" was tied to a greater chance of being a regular exerciser and a lower risk of dying over the next five years.
"It adds to the body of literature suggesting that there may be relationships between positive affect … and all-cause mortality," Richard Sloan, who studies psychological risk factors and heart disease at Columbia University Medical Center in New York, said.
But, "It's going to take more than this to be confident that there's a link in the way we're confident there's a link between depression and (a higher risk of) heart disease," Sloan, who didn't participate in the new research, told Reuters Health.
The new study included 607 heart patients who were seen at one Danish hospital.
Susanne S. Pedersen from Tilburg University in The Netherlands and her colleagues asked the patients about their quality of life, mood and lifestyle habits including physical activity in 2005. Then they used death and hospital records to track participants through 2010.
On a mood scale ranging from 0 to 40, where higher scores indicate feeling more relaxed, self-confident and excited, half of participants scored a 24 or above. (Negative affect was measured separately - so a person could score high or low on measures of both positive attitude and insecurity or helplessness.)
During the follow-up period, 30 of the high positive affect patients died of any cause, compared to 50 people with a lower positive attitude score.
Some of that association appeared to be driven by exercise habits, the researchers found. People with high mood scores were more likely than other participants to say they exercised at least once a week, and exercisers were half as likely to die as non-exercisers.
There was not a clear difference, however, in how often people were hospitalized for heart-related conditions, based on their positivity. During the study period, about half of all participants were hospitalized for a heart attack, heart failure or chest pain, for example, according to findings published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes.
The researchers said past studies also found a link between having a positive outlook and better heart health, but it was unclear what explained the association.
"There is some evidence to suggest that even among people who are already ill, who already have heart disease or diabetes or related conditions, that those people who are happier also have better outcomes," Julia Boehm from Chapman University in Orange, California, who has studied psychological wellbeing and heart health, said.
Health behaviors such as exercise are one possible explanation for that link, she told Reuters Health. Some researchers have also proposed another mechanism, suggesting optimism may affect physiologic processes in the body that would ultimately influence heart health, such as inflammation levels.
Pedersen and her colleagues noted that they did not have information on participants' type or intensity of exercise. The researcher also said the study can't say how exercise and positive affect may be linked.
"We do not know what comes first (also known as the ‘chicken and egg' problem) and thus cannot make any conclusions about the direction of causality - is it exercise that increases positive affect or positive affect that leads to more exercise with an effect on mortality or both?" Pedersen told Reuters Health in an email.
"Irrespectively, it cements what we already know - namely that exercise is good for the heart."
Boehm, who wasn't involved in the new research, said there isn't enough evidence to tell people with heart disease to be happier or more optimistic in order to improve their outcomes. But she agreed with Pedersen that there are data to support recommending exercise to those people for heart health.
"Hopefully you would have the added benefit of feeling more happy (and) optimistic," she said.

hide U.S. rethinking lowest-priced contract rule for guarding embassies
Friday, March 22, 2013 1:08 a.m. EDT
By Susan Cornwell
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Lawmakers are reconsidering a 1990 law that makes the State Department accept the lowest bids for contracts to provide private security at most U.S. diplomatic posts, a requirement that can lead to the hiring of thousands of guards based on how cheap they are rather than their quality.
Concerns about the policy, which was aimed at cutting costs, were heightened by the assault on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, last September, in which U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed. None of the local guards was outside the lightly defended complex when it was overrun by militants, according to the results of a U.S. government inquiry.
Fifteen months earlier, at the heavily guarded U.S. Embassy in Pakistan - a walled compound within a gated diplomatic enclave - dozens of local guards refused to work for three days. The strike over pay and benefits potentially put security at risk, the U.S. State Department inspector general's office said in an audit in February 2012.
A government spending bill, which passed Congress this week, gives the State Department the flexibility to hire local guards for Afghanistan, Pakistan "and other hostile or high-risk areas" on a best-value basis, allowing for the appropriate trade-offs between cost and quality, a Senate aide said, although the provisions are due to expire at the end of September.
Senators Robert Menendez and Bob Corker, the leading Democrat and Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, are also discussing whether to propose permanent changes to the way local guards are hired as part of embassy security legislation in the coming months, aides to both men said.
Many people think of the Marines, the sentinels at the front doors of many U.S. embassies, as the buildings' protectors. But they are there mainly to safeguard classified documents. There were no Marines at the Benghazi mission, a temporary facility.
It is the host country - and when it cannot or will not, the locally hired guards - that the U.S. government typically relies on to help keep its diplomats and buildings safe.
'POORLY PAID AND MOTIVATED'
One of the last things former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asked Congress to do before she left office on February 1 was to change the law requiring that most local guard contracts be awarded on a "lowest price technically acceptable" basis.
The money-saving requirement applies in "dangerous places like Libya," she said.
"We have requested a change in the legislation that would allow us to use some discretion to try to deal with the varieties and vagaries of these local guard forces," she told the House Foreign Affairs Committee in January.
Corker heard complaints about the lowest-price rule from U.S. embassies during a recent trip to several African countries. He visited war-torn Mali, as well as Senegal, Algeria and Tunisia, all of which are confronted with the spread of weapons from Libya after Muammar Gaddafi's overthrow.
The lowest-priced bid requirement encourages companies to snatch a contract from a competitor by lowering the embassy guards' pay, Corker said. "You're just cutting wages of people who actually have performed well and been on the front lines," he said.
The State Department inspector general's office says that changing the law would probably end up costing more - a tough sell in the current atmosphere of fiscal tightening. There are about 30,000 local guards protecting roughly 285 U.S. diplomatic facilities worldwide, the State Department says.
During the past several years, about $500 million has been spent annually on the guards. That does not include Iraq and Afghanistan, which have been budgeted separately.
In December, a State Department-ordered inquiry into the Benghazi attack cited numerous failures, including serious leadership deficiencies at the department that led to insufficient security.
But it also labeled as "inadequate" the responses of the local guards, who worked for a British company called Blue Mountain Group. None was keeping watch outside before the attack, and it was unclear whether they sounded any alarms, the review said.
Since the Benghazi attacks, the company has repeatedly declined to comment in response to Reuters' inquiries.
The lowest-priced rule for local guard contracts "often results in poorly paid and motivated guards," Michael Raynor, former executive director of the State Department's Bureau of African Affairs, wrote last year.
"Paying guards less than living wages" not only has security costs, Raynor wrote to the State Department inspector general, but also "undercuts our Missions' broader engagement in championing human rights."
"What it allowed was cheap guarding ... from the local population, or inexpensive Third World guarding from elsewhere," said Charles Tiefer, law professor at the University of Baltimore and member of the U.S. Commission on Wartime Contracting, which examined spending in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Last year's audit by the inspector general's office related one particularly large problem at the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa. The embassy had to issue 60 "deficiency notices" to its local guard contractor for performance problems.
Over two-thirds of 86 U.S. diplomatic posts surveyed reported some problems with guard forces, such as absenteeism and turnover, the audit said.
UNAPPROVED GUARDS POSED SECURITY RISK
The June 2011 guard strike in Islamabad, Pakistan, posed a security risk because although the contractor replaced the strikers, it did so with unapproved guards who had not undergone required background checks, another audit from the State Department inspector general's office said last year.
The strikers had been hired under a 2007 contract awarded to G4S Secure Solutions International Inc on a lowest-price basis. The protest ended when the contractor agreed to increase the guards' pay, the audit said.
Their salaries were not revealed in the unclassified version of the report. A spokeswoman for the company, a subsidiary of the British-based G4S security services firm, declined comment.
Cameron Munter, who was ambassador to Pakistan during the 2011 guard strike, said, "The obvious end result that any ambassador wants is a motivated guard force that can be depended on in a crisis to do the things it's been trained to do."
But Munter also warned that changing contracting rules was not a panacea for safety.
"If all we learn from Chris Stevens' death is that we have to spend money differently, we haven't addressed the real issue - which is, we need to be informed and we have to think hard about how we are best informed, in order to protect ourselves. This is a question of smart security," Munter said.

Beth Israel Medical Center, NY
Ricardo Cruciani, M.D., Ph.D., Department of Pain Medicine and Palliative Care, Beth Israel Medical Center Hi, my name is Ricardo Cruciani, I'm an M.D. and Ph.D., a pain specialist and I'm the Vice Chairman and Director of the Research Division at the Department of Pain Medicine and Palliative Care, Beth Israel Medical Center.
I'd like to take this opportunity to discuss with you some of the research projects that we are conducting in our department right now. As you can tell from the name of the department, we do mostly pain and palliative care. So those are the big areas where we are conducting all our research.
Pain, it can be acute pain or can be chronic pain. Within chronic pain, it can be cancer pain or non-cancer pain, for example, osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. The type of studies that we do, it could be with opioids or without opioids. In general, as a concept, all these medications can be used either in one disorder or the other. What we do is we look, what are the best doses, what are the best drug combinations, what are the side effects, how to work with the side effects.
We have at any given time about 15 studies going on. If you are interested in knowing more about the type of research that we are doing please contact us at Beth Israel Medical Center, Department of Pain Medicine and Palliative Care. Thank you. -- This embed didnt make it to copy for story id = 4593238.

How to Conquer Recession Depression
Oct. 7, 2008 By KATE BARRETT Listen in at a coffee shop, stop a stranger on the street or strike up a conversation at the bus stop and you'll likely hear a story like Marie Moore's.
Struggling to pay her bills and concerned about her husband's prolonged unemployment, the 31-year-old human resources assistant said the recession is taking an emotional toll.
"I stay up worrying and not being able to sleep very well, I'm constantly thinking," Moore told ABCNews.com. "He kind of tends to shut down a bit and sleep a lot."
The Moores' story is not unusual. The couple moved from Harrisburg, Pa., to Danville, Pa., during the summer for a job opportunity, but Moore's husband was laid off shortly thereafter when his employer restructured. Today, the former general manager of a banquet facility finds himself in a situation he's never faced before as he waits tables and looks for work.
"I try not to skip my credit card bills, but the electric right now is three months' late. The telephone is two months' late," Moore said.
When Mental Health Plummets With the Stock Market
With the stock market plunging and Americans losing their homes and jobs, it's no surprise that mental health can take a nose-dive as well. In tough economic times, hopelessness and depression can encroach on our energy and optimism.
"It isn't your normal kind of recession, which makes it more fearful and it paralyzes people," said Harvey Brenner, a public health professor at the University of North Texas Health Science Center, who has long studied the relationship between mental health and recession.
Brenner also said suicide rates can almost become economic indicators.
In Virginia, a suicide hot line said suicide-related calls in July and August were up 62 percent from the same time last year. Though the hot line's operators said the rise is not all due to the economy, call logs indicate that's part of what's going on.
Crisis hot lines around the country have reported recent increases of people concerned about their finances. ComPsych, the largest provider of employee assistance programs, said calls from people asking for help because of stress from financial problems jumped 21 percent in July 2008, from a year earlier. ValueOptions, which also runs employee assistance programs, said people calling to ask for help with financial problems have jumped 89 percent.
"I think the general tone is this sense of despondency," Marlene Zetzer, a psychiatrist from St. Simons Island, Ga., told ABCNews.com this week. "Most people are kind of feeling just a little discouraged and helpless, overwhelmed at what the next step is. They don't know what's going on."
Zetzer, who consults patients in the southwest Georgia health system, said that during the last six months, she's noticed an exponential increase in the number of people who immediately bring up their financial stress, even before they refer to the medical conditions that brought them to the hospital. She said the doctors and nurses she works with are also feeling the blues.
But for those whose finances and lack of job stability are the root of their concerns, it can be exceedingly difficult to pay for the health-care resources that could help them pull through.
In Atlanta, psychologist Erik Fisher said a lot of people who have money stress can't afford therapy. And other patients have had to cut back on their sessions to save money.

Tale of the Tat: U.S. Military Body InkDavid, who asked that is face not be shown because he is with Special Operations, has his left arm almost entirely covered in tattoos. The designs include rays of light, angels and religious parables about the narrow and wide gates to heaven and hell.ABC NewsTale of the Tat: U.S. Military Body InkDavid, 26, received his first tattoo when he was 18. He had it covered up with this large cross, which was created to look like it was carved in "old worn wood."ABC NewsTale of the Tat: U.S. Military Body InkRob Laffery, 35, is a tattoo artist at Performance Tattoo in Fayetteville, N.C., and knows where the sensitive spots are for his needle. He had one spot marked on his own wrist. "Yeah, that was a painful spot," he deadpanned.
ABC NewsTale of the Tat: U.S. Military Body InkJeffrey York, a veteran of the Afghan war who is currently assigned to Ft. Bragg, says he wears this statement from Theodore Roosevelt on his leg because it's about "people on the outside judging without being in the arena."
ABC NewsTale of the Tat: U.S. Military Body Ink"As my travel and experiences grew, the tattoos grew with them," says Ray, another soldier who's in Special Operations. The burning sun represents life and the tree without leaves represents death. Ray said he saw this tree -- a "perfect tree in the middle of Baghdad" -- and the Kurdish writing below it translates to "I make my living by my weapons."ABC NewsTale of the Tat: U.S. Military Body InkRob Laffery tattoos soldiers at Performance Tattoo in Fayetteville, N.C., which is close to Ft. Bragg. Trends come and go, and lately "zombies are big," he said. He's been tattooing tribal prints for 18 years.ABC NewsTale of the Tat: U.S. Military Body InkAmy Smith, 29, is currently based at Ft. Bragg and has been in the Army for four years. "No place I've been [stationed] has winters so I'm bringing the snow with me," said the native of upstate New York referring to the large blue and black snowflakes tattooed across her back. Smith described the two colorful patterns on her arm as "two finials of fire and smoke--the ying and yang."
Karen Russo/ABCTale of the Tat: U.S. Military Body Ink"I wanted my family tattooed on me, but I didn't want a list of names," saidChristina Dion, 33, public affairs specialist at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. So she tattooed the Chinese zodiac characters of her three children's birth years (the years of the snake, ox and goat) onto her back. "They're my everything. They're it. The hard work, determination, motivation and drive. The suck-it-up attitude because I don't want them to have to suck it up. I didn't have the easiest life. I don't want them to grow up like I did."Karen Russo/ABC Tale of the Tat: U.S. Military Body InkRob Laffery, 35, tattoos soldiers at Performance Tattoo in Fayetteville, N.C., which is close to Ft. Bragg. Trends come and go. Nowadays "zombies are big," he said. "Ouch" is tattooed on his inner wrist: "Yeah that was a painful spot," he deadpanned.
Karen Russo/ABCTale of the Tat: U.S. Military Body InkA soldier who did not want his face shown or be identified beyond his first name of Zach because he is in a special operations had his daughter's feet photocopied from her birth certificate and tattooed onto his arm. "So if I'm not around my family I have a piece of them with me," the 23-year-old soldier from Ashville, N.C., said.
Karen Russo/ABCTale of the Tat: U.S. Military Body InkZach also paid homage to his wife on his arm. "She has a classic beauty to me and I wanted to represent that in a pin-up... And she's so firey. That's why she's on the ammo and the big ol bomb. She's my bombshell," he said smiling. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/9 | {"url": "http://abcnews.go.com/International/Afghanistan/photos/photos-tattoos-military-9269824&page=18", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "abcnews.go.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T09:44:20Z", "digest": "sha1:B4KU5AT33TAD2OIJVRXGCET2732EL2FG"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4016, 4016.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4016, 4214.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4016, 9.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4016, 28.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4016, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4016, 295.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4016, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4016, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4016, 1.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4016, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4016, 0.37366167]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4016, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4016, 0.18012223]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4016, 0.3805082]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4016, 0.35863622]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4016, 0.34737858]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4016, 0.3049212]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4016, 0.24605983]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4016, 0.02251528]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4016, 0.0308781]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4016, 0.03859762]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4016, 0.05567452]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4016, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4016, 0.20235546]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4016, 0.40883191]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4016, 4.42877493]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4016, 0.00107066]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4016, 5.13881968]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4016, 702.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 37, 0.0], [37, 77, 0.0], [77, 329, 1.0], [329, 1100, 1.0], [1100, 1372, 0.0], [1372, 2460, 0.0], [2460, 3344, 1.0], [3344, 3731, 1.0], [3731, 4016, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 37, 0.0], [37, 77, 0.0], [77, 329, 0.0], [329, 1100, 0.0], [1100, 1372, 0.0], [1372, 2460, 0.0], [2460, 3344, 0.0], [3344, 3731, 0.0], [3731, 4016, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 37, 6.0], [37, 77, 8.0], [77, 329, 44.0], [329, 1100, 137.0], [1100, 1372, 47.0], [1372, 2460, 187.0], [2460, 3344, 149.0], [3344, 3731, 69.0], [3731, 4016, 55.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 37, 0.0], [37, 77, 0.0], [77, 329, 0.0], [329, 1100, 0.00815217], [1100, 1372, 0.0], [1372, 2460, 0.00388727], [2460, 3344, 0.00485437], [3344, 3731, 0.00542005], [3731, 4016, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 37, 0.0], [37, 77, 0.0], [77, 329, 0.0], [329, 1100, 0.0], [1100, 1372, 0.0], [1372, 2460, 0.0], [2460, 3344, 0.0], [3344, 3731, 0.0], [3731, 4016, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 37, 0.21621622], [37, 77, 0.175], [77, 329, 0.01587302], [329, 1100, 0.05706874], [1100, 1372, 0.06617647], [1372, 2460, 0.05882353], [2460, 3344, 0.06108597], [3344, 3731, 0.05167959], [3731, 4016, 0.06315789]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4016, 0.72646588]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4016, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4016, 0.89668846]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4016, 59.85731812]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4016, 87.7666784]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4016, -50.27878859]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4016, 74.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |

He was then joined by hundreds of others who in solidarity decided to join his protest by also standing silently.Marco Longari/AFP/Getty Images | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/10 | {"url": "http://abcnews.go.com/International/photos/protestors-police-clash-istanbul-19381992?page=2", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "abcnews.go.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T09:30:46Z", "digest": "sha1:BE4FBQR4LBA3EJDKXNJ6V4F64K5LVZGE"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1220, 1220.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1220, 1456.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1220, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1220, 24.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1220, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1220, 275.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1220, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1220, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1220, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1220, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1220, 0.31696429]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1220, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1220, 0.61033797]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1220, 0.61033797]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1220, 0.61033797]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1220, 0.61033797]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1220, 0.61033797]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1220, 0.61033797]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1220, 0.05964215]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1220, 0.02982107]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1220, 0.02982107]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1220, 0.00446429]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1220, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1220, 0.15625]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1220, 0.4516129]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1220, 5.40860215]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1220, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1220, 4.18905562]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1220, 186.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 37, 0.0], [37, 434, 0.0], [434, 1220, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 37, 0.0], [37, 434, 0.0], [434, 1220, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 19, 3.0], [19, 37, 3.0], [37, 434, 61.0], [434, 1220, 119.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 37, 0.0], [37, 434, 0.01554404], [434, 1220, 0.01564537]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 37, 0.0], [37, 434, 0.0], [434, 1220, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 19, 0.10526316], [19, 37, 0.11111111], [37, 434, 0.03274559], [434, 1220, 0.04071247]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1220, 0.98415017]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1220, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1220, 0.74245656]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1220, -50.93588305]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1220, 16.16356805]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1220, 32.5320797]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1220, 10.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |

Reporter's Notebook: One Face From Tahrir Square, Cairo
CAIRO, Feb. 3, 2011

Sherief Gaberf shows his injuries after being struck in the face by pro-Mubarak forces in Cairo's Tahrir Square, Feb. 2, 2011. He left his studies at the University of Texas to travel to Egypt this week and check on his grandmother and join his friends in protest. Courtesy Sherief Gaber
As so many people tried to get out of Egypt this week, we traveled to Cairo Tuesday on a nearly empty flight.
In the back of the plane, there was a young man from Texas who'd told his university professors that he just had to get home.
"I have some family there, and I want to check on grandma," Sherief Gaber said.

When our plane landed, Gaber asked us for a ride from the airport, explaining that he had tried to get word to his grandmother and wasn't even sure if she knew he was coming.
On the highway into town, we passed lone cars braving the streets well past curfew time. There were flashing lights, and then the stops -- checkpoints enforced by a citizen's army that had taken hold here.
Neighbors have armed themselves with guns and bats, stopping cars to check IDs and passports.
"I think everyone got afraid of the looting, and so they took to the streets themselves," Gaber said.
"You've never seen anything like this?" I asked him.
"Never, anywhere," he said.
In Climate of Fear, Citizens Set Up Checkpoints
We were stopped more than a dozen times before we finally reached Gaber's grandmother's home. We followed Gaber as he made his way through a familiar iron gate and pressed the buzzer.
"Nonna? It's Sherief," he said.
As we made our way up the stairs, frightened neighbors began shouting from their balconies: Who are you, and who are you here to see?
When we reached Gaber's grandmother's door, she saw her grandson and greeted him with a giant hug. She welcomed the crew from America into her house, too.
Just a short time later, our visit was interrupted by a man who barged in carrying a gun. It was a neighbor, checking up on the grandmother.
Gaber Involved in Clash in Cairo's Tahrir Square
"Has this been a difficult time for Egypt?" I asked the grandmother.
"Very, very," she said. "I can't open or anything. You can't open the door. You act like you're not here. You pretend like you're not home."
Her grandson's visit brought a smile, but he told her he wanted to meet up with friends who had marched in protest that day and were still together that night. Before leaving, Gaber gave his grandma a kiss goodbye.
Today, we heard from Gaber again. He'd e-mailed a photo of himself, his face battered and bloody, but still bearing an unmistakable smile. He told us that he had gone with his friends to Tahrir Square, the epicenter of clashes between anti-Mubarak protesters and crowds who support the embattled president, Tuesday night, .
Gaber told us that he was on the fringe of the square when he was attacked, struck in the face with a stone by a pro-Mubarak demonstrator.
The young man who'd come to Egypt to check on his grandmother was now being cared for by his family. He said he wouldn't go back out again tonight.

Looking for a place to Abide in His Word? Join Us on Sundays: 9:00 am Sunday School; 10:00 am Divine Service
John 8:31-32 Jesus said: “If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
This is what you will find at Abiding Word Ev. Lutheran Church of Bowling Green, Ohio. In a world that is constantly changing, many people are looking for an unmovable foundation that they can build themselves upon. That foundation is God’s Word proclaimed in its truth and purity and distributed in the Sacraments of Holy Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Through these tools of Word and Sacrament God brings us the blessings that Jesus Christ won for us with his life, death, and resurrection. In Christ we receive the Forgiveness of Sins, Salvation, and Eternal Life.
We are a Confessional Lutheran Church that understands ”The Word of God is and should remain the sole rule and norm of all doctrine” (FC SD, Rule & Norm, 9), and “We pledge ourselves to the prophetic and apostolic writings of the Old and New Testaments as the pure and clear fountain of Israel, which is the only true norm according to which all teachers and teachings are to be judged” (FC SD, Rule and Norm, 3). The Confessions and Creeds of our congregation and synod (found in the Book of Concord: The Confessions of the Lutheran Church) state what we as Lutherans believe to be the teachings of Scripture and what we therefore believe, teach, and publicly confess.
Our Congregation is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod (ELS) (in fellowship with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS))

Hurricane Isaac Videos: Anderson Cooper reporting in Louisiana As Tropical Storm Isaac gained strength in the Gulf of Mexico over the weekend Anderson flew from the Republican National Convention in Tampa to New Orleans.
On Tuesday, shortly after 11 a.m. CDT Isaac was upgraded to a Category 1 storm according to the National Hurricane Center. At 6:45 p.m. CDT the National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated that Isaac made a first landfall along the coast of southeast Louisiana in the marshland of Plaquemines Parish, southwest of the mouth of the Mississippi River, with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph. After wobbling back over the water near the mouth of the Mississippi River, Isaac then made a second landfall at about 2 a.m. CDT near Port Fourchon, 60 miles southeast of New Orleans, according to an early morning update by the National Hurricane Center.

Hi Anderson,
Hope you guys are staying warm in the storm. I never did understand something by these media folks. I am sure you guys are paid really well, but do you really have to struggle so much to get the news. Why do you'll stand in the rain and cover the news – I never did understand the concept. You sure are going to show the wind blowing and the rain sweeping....whatever .....but it never makes sense to stand in the pouring rain and talk. I mean, you'll can stand in a room etc and still show us the storm. Never did understand that concept...it is scaring for us and I dont think the public demand is so bad that we want to see you'll being swept in the rain....take care and come back home safe...

Hi Anderson, I wish you can get out before this election and come vist the people that are not spoke about, the people that are not even talked about unless they are speaking about the poor people in the USA! I dont consider myself poor, I work every day. I have a daughter that starts her first year of college this fall and I am pushing on because I would love to see someone from this poor family become successful in the USA. My grandmother worked all of her life and at the age of 87 she cant get a homehealth aid under her health insurance. I have 4 generations of college Grads in this family and why is it that we are still waiting for that American Dream. I pray that someone I am reaching out to will visit my community and see the struggel we the poor people go threw on a daily basis and I dont belive thier is no Rep or Dem that will ever understand or have a clue about we the so called middle class or poor people go threw on a daily basis. AC I think this will be a great story for you and the world to open thier eyes to.

by AFRO Staff African American Church Inaugural Ball (Courtesy Image)
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The leaders of African American churches will, once again, convene in Washington, D.C. on Inauguration Weekend to commemorate one of the most extraordinary events in American history – the second term and inauguration of President Obama, America’s first president of African descent.
In an inaugural ball to be held Jan. 20, the gala celebration will mark the historic event and honor the Keepers of the Flame recipients, individuals whose lifetime achievements and contributions to society and culture have contributed to the realization of this moment in time.
“For certain, the African American Church must mark this moment with great pride, honor and power. For today, we stand on the shoulders of so many who bled and died for this moment of witness, of which we consecrate with our joy and commitment to continue to fight for equality and justice for all,” according to the organizers’ mission statement on the African American Church Inaugural Ball website.
The ball, to be held at the Grand Hyatt Washington, is a sequel to the premiere event in 2009 and will feature leaders from the religious, civic, business, arts, and entertainment communities.
Themed, “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” the ball will honor those leaders with the “2013 Keepers of the Flame” Award. The recipients are individuals who have sustained an unshakable commitment to our future and who have earned an undeniable place in the African American book of history. Confirmed honorees include: Muhammad Ali; Bishop George E. Battle, Jr.; Bishop Philip R. Cousin, Sr.; Andraé Crouch; Ed Dwight; Joycelyn Elders, MD; Bishop William H. Graves, Sr.; Rev.

ShareThis AFT and members strongly support Chicago Teachers Union
The AFT and our members around the country stand firmly with the Chicago Teachers Union and will support its members in their efforts to secure a fair contract that will enable them to give their students the best opportunities, AFT president Randi Weingarten says.
CTU members went out on strike Sept. 10, marking the first time in 25 years the union has taken such an action. "No one wants to strike, and no one strikes without cause," Weingarten says. "In this instance, it comes on the heels of numerous steps that left CTU members feeling disrespected, not the least of which was the district's unilateral decision to strip teachers and paraprofessionals of an agreed-upon 4 percent raise. The strike comes only after long and intense negotiations failed to lead to an agreement that would give CTU members the tools they need to help all their students succeed.
"CTU members—the women and men who spend every day with Chicago's children—want to have their voice and experience respected and valued. They want to be treated as equal partners in making sure every student in Chicago succeeds. That has been the CTU's guiding philosophy throughout these negotiations, and it remains so on the picket lines.
"The Chicago Teachers Union is the AFT's Local No. 1. The AFT was founded in Chicago 100 years ago by teachers determined to have a voice in the quality of their workplace and the quality of the instruction provided to their students. They knew then, as CTU members know now, that collective action was the only way to improve their schools, their communities and their students' education. We know that the members of the CTU are prepared to stay on the picket lines. We also know they would rather be on the job, in the classroom educating their students.
"CTU president Karen Lewis has made clear that the CTU is prepared to continue negotiations during the strike. Mayor Rahm Emanuel echoed that sentiment on behalf of the district. The students, teachers and educational support staff—and the city of Chicago—deserve a school system that works for everyone. In the end, that is what this strike is all about."
AFT members can show their solidarity with their colleagues in Chicago in a number of ways:

Belated resolutions for 2011
(posted here in order to make them real)1) Travel more.Last year was a banner year for me in this area (10 trips, 2 of those long-haul international ones), but I'm still not feeling like this is enough. Maybe there is a magic number that creates the perfect equilibrium between being home and being away, but so far, I haven't hit it. And actually, I kind of hope I never do. The day I am not up for a trip is the day I am not alive.2) Speaking of home, change where that is.I love L.A., but I think I'm done with it. I've been here for 12 years straight (this is alarming), and I'm bored and need a challenge. One of the things I learned from my Japan trip is how exhilarating (and sometimes, frustrating) it is to be in a place that you don't know so well, figuring it out as you go along and reinventing yourself in the process. In any event, I want that and I want it BAD. I've got some possible solutions in regards to this, and I'll reveal more as they become more concrete.3) Strengthen my relationships with the people I care about.The first two resolutions seem to counter this one, especially since most of you know how awful I am at staying in touch on a regular basis. (sorry) But, this is a perennial resolution because it's important. I tend to get caught up in my own head too often and really, it's the other people in my life who keep me balanced and happy. To be more specific, the people who matter to me know me well and somehow still manage to love me for who I am. They are positive forces in my life and will support me completely despite numerous missteps and errors, and I will give all my love to them in return. Full stop.4) Think less and create more.There was a time when I spent every waking moment in front of a typewriter (yes, that long ago), writing and editing stories and essays until every word and sentence and paragraph was perfect. A few years later, I dedicated all my energy and resources to learning how to photograph pictures as I saw them in my head. After that, I lost hours and days while my eyes were glued to a computer screen, figuring out how to make words and images come together in a meaningful graphic package. In each of those times, I was in a constant state of creative flow and spent the least amount of time thinking myself into a corner. And I was happy because I had a purpose in those moments. Here's to finding that again.5) Get enough sleep, drink more water, and continue to eat meals that also qualify as food porn.I joked that the first half of last year was like the foodie version of having only six months to live. This was in anticipation of the austerity measures that I thought were going to be necessary in the wake of graduate school. But, a funny thing happened--I didn't stop. Sure, I wasn't going to Providence every night, but I was finding ways to make meals memorable. Whether that just entailed a perfect drizzle of honey on a roasted fig at home or a multi-course splurge at an actual restaurant, I made it work and will continue to make it work into 2011. Posted by

This past Saturday, I checked out the Renegade Craft Fair at the California Market Center downtown. In addition to a vintage typewriter key pendant, I picked up a poster by graphic designer, Frank Chimero, which really resonated with me in so many ways:I love the style and colors (it's pretty much the palette of my bedroom, where it already hangs), and the clever design and message is spot on. Sometimes, I really do have to remind myself that the only thing keeping me from my ideal career/life is actually ME.
Note: Hiking, on hold
For the past several weekends, I've been in the midst of moving, so I haven't had a chance to embark on any new hiking adventures, but I hope to start up again soon, especially since the June Gloom is keeping the temperatures pretty moderate without too much sun exposure. The hike that's next on my list is in Griffith Park (the one that starts in lush Ferndell and ends at the Observatory). I saw it (along with The Trails cafe) featured on "Visiting ...With Huell Howser" and have been wanting to hike it ever since. As a teaser, a couple of weeks ago, I stopped at the cafe and had a huge slice of apple pie, which didn't wow me (not sweet enough and a little dry), but I still want to go back and try the other pastries (I hear the scones are great) and food items (lots of veggie options, including an avocado sandwich that sounds amazing). The location is very pretty and peaceful (as long as there aren't too many screaming children), and I like the idea of sitting on the picnic benches enjoying some nouvelle snack bar food under the trees.
Huell Howser,
Cannoli Watch: Masa
I had heard so much about the chocolate croissant bread pudding at Masa that I was determined to have it. However, after consuming lots of cuban rolls and a couple slices of the Chicago-style pizza (see Must Try), I couldn't even bear to think about having more bread. But, me being me, I still wanted to have a sweet cap to my meal, especially since the other dessert on the menu was a chocolate chip cannoli (!):This cannoli was no bijou reimaging; it was 5-6 inches of the real deal. The ricotta filling was very good and not too heavy (for ricotta), and while I wish there were more chocolate chips to add a little texture and more interest to the filling, chocolate was fully represented in the generous glazing. I really liked this and it definitely whets my appetite for Masa's hallowed bread pudding.
cannoli,
Must Try: Chicago-Style Pizza at Masa
I went to Masa on Friday night, and the Chicago-style pizza has been on my mind as strong undercurrent since then. I have shared my experience with as many people as possible, extolling the tastiness of the cornmeal crust, which only got better after reheating on the second day. I have had daydreams about the garlicky tomato sauce and the layer of cheese peeking out from underneath. And I think that if I decided to ever really let myself go, I couldn't think of a better way to do it than to eat this pizza everyday. (Actually, the best way would probably be a weekly routine of Masa, Pie 'N Burger, Honey's Kettle, Hurry Curry, and Cici's.)I had the California Vegetable pizza, which had Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomatoes, and next time, I'd like to try the Mushroom and Olive. I suppose it's a good thing that I don't eat beef/pork, since I can only imagine how filling the meat pizzas are. The key is to try not to eat too much before the pizza. This proves to be a bit of a feat, since it takes 40 minutes, during which you have to resist various appetizers, salads and freshly-baked Cuban rolls (which thankfully, don't come automatically.) Good luck with that.
Must Try,
Hike #7: Echo Mountain via the Sam Merrill Trail
Two weekends ago, I (along with TB) went on the toughest hike yet (at least, for me): Echo Mountain via the Sam Merrill Trail in Altadena. This hike is about 2.5 miles one-way up a sunny and switchback-heavy trail with a total elevation gain of about 1,400 feet:When you get to the top of Echo Mountain, you can explore the ruins of a turn of the century (1900s) resort:...and the railway that took guests up to it:Before descending or continuing the three miles further to the top of Mount Lowe, you can read both the historic and intepretive signs scattered around the site and relax in several shady picnic areas:My favorite part was this:It's not everyday that you get to hear your own yodeling echoing throughout the San Gabriel Mountains:One of the best things about doing a strenuous hike is that you really have carte blanche to eat as much as you want for lunch. We did just that at the plain-looking Pie 'N Burger, a Pasadena institution. I had been meaning to go there for quite a while since I found out that they did turkey burgers (I don't eat regular burgers) and that it was mostly counter seating (I love eating at counters!)After 3 hours of hiking, my burger definitely hit the spot. TB said the burger reminded him of a Big Mac, but better. (I don't think I can even remember what a Big Mac tastes like, but I'm assuming that they would be similar because of the Thousand Island dressing.) Anyway, the showstopper (and possible heartstopper) was the Dutch Apple Pie: crumbly cinammon topping, warm and not too sweet apple filling, buttery crust and generous scoops of French Vanilla ice cream. (TB got the rhubarb pie.) In any event, they have more than a dozen kinds of pie (depending on what's in season) at Pie 'N Burger, and I can't wait to try every single one.
Hikes #5 & #6: Franklin Canyon Park Hastain Trail and Elysian Park Wildflower Trail
Two weeks ago, I went to Franklin Canyon Park to try out the Hastain Trail. Unfortunately, I didn't complete this trail. All I'll say regarding this is don't ever try to do a hike when you're hungry, thirsty and hot with no way of fixing any of those conditions. It wasn't a total loss as I still got a good hour of hiking in (most of it spent getting to the actual trailhead since I parked in the upper park as opposed to the lower park.)In any event, last weekend's hike at Elysian Park was much more successful. The weather was cloudy and mild, plus I was much better prepared. As someone who is supposedly very knowledgeable about L.A., I'm ashamed to say that this was my first time in the actual park (of course, I've been to many, many Dodgers games) and that I had no idea how nice it is, despite being so close to the rest of the city:I'll definitely come back especially since I want to check out the small arboretum on the grounds. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/19 |

Rogue 5-string
redwoodmike
NewUsername: redwoodmikePost Number: 6Registered: 9-2008Posted on Thursday, June 27, 2013 - 11:11 am: Hello...I have a 1996 Rogue 5-string that I want to sell. I put it up on Craigslist in the SF Bay area at a price of $1,700 and was told by a couple of people that my asking price was too low...also got some guys in Russia who wanted to buy it on the spot... I've had a difficult time determining the value of this instrument. It's in great playing condition, however there is some buckle rash and a small ding here and there...can anyone give me some advice here, or steer me in a direction? Your help is much appreciated...

Intermediate MemberUsername: stout71Post Number: 151Registered: 7-2011Posted on Thursday, June 27, 2013 - 11:37 am: I'm no Rogue expert, but I'd guess that's too low as well. I just did a search in the Swap Shop section and the most recent entry is from around 2008. In 2006 there was a post with a reasonable asking price reference of $2500, but I didn't check to see if it was a 4 or 5-string. It's no secret that Alembics hold their values about as well as a new Ford pickup (has absolutely nothing to do with quality - well maybe the Ford), but if it was $2500 then, it's probably the same or more now. Demand drives the price. You're only going to get what someone else is willing to pay for it, but if you're getting immediate offers (from anyone) step back and re-evaluate. If nothing else, start high and step it down in small increments. My two cents.

Advanced MemberUsername: jagerphan84Post Number: 314Registered: 10-2003Posted on Thursday, June 27, 2013 - 2:15 pm: Nice bass! I haven't watched eBay/craigslist too closely lately, but I would think $2000-$2800 depending on condition for a Rogue 5. Yours looks to have a very nice grain on the top wood, which might command a few extra bucks as well.
MemberUsername: ojoPost Number: 71Registered: 3-2008Posted on Thursday, June 27, 2013 - 3:29 pm: FWIW, I think $1700 is low for one of these, but I'm getting the impression that the market has changed for these. From what I remember, up until I picked up mine early last year, Rogue's were rare on the used market, and were tough to touch for under 3k. I got mine for less than that, and thought it was a great deal. Two were up for sale on Talkbass at the end of last year. One went for $2700 on ebay, the other was $1900. So, who knows what they're going for now. Based on what I've seen lately, including the post above, I'd guess you could probably price it around $2000, and see what happens. Heck, post it for $2500, and see what happens. If you get no interest, drop the price.

Advanced MemberUsername: xlrogue6Post Number: 265Registered: 8-2002Posted on Thursday, June 27, 2013 - 3:43 pm: Used instrument value varies both geographically and chronologically. Craigslist can tell you what their readership in your area will pay for it, i.e., list it at your ideal price and see if you get any real responses. If not, drop the price and try it again, repeat until you get response. My experience with Craigslist is that you'll tend to net something at the (very) low end of the market.

algebraicthunk.net/ blog/ entry/ Close Encounters of the Automotive Kind
I got run over by a car on Wednesday.
Well, that's an exaggeration. My foot got run over by a car on Wednesday. I was trying to cross, in a crosswalk, in front of a red SUV that was stopped at a stop sign (my first mistake), when the driver suddenly decided to make a quick right turn. Luckily, I saw him start to do it and was able to jump out of the way of his vehicle -- except that I couldn't get my left foot out of the way in time. THUMP. And a few seconds later there was a SMACK as his passenger-side mirror creamed me, snapped off, and fell into the road.
The driver immediately realized what had happened and stopped to apologize. He offered me a ride; after quickly checking that my foot was NOT a mess of broken bones or a bloody pulp, I asked him to drive me to the bus stop. I was pretty shaken up from having just escaped death or major bodily injury by a matter of inches, so I didn't get his insurance information, name, phone number, or even license plate. Second mistake.
So, I got on the bus, flipped open my laptop to see if I could play a video game or something to calm down, and discovered that the screen of my practically new laptop was smashed. Probably it got hit by the passenger mirror -- and since I have no idea who hit me, I can't even politely ask him to pay for replacing it, let alone demand.
That's the bad news. The good news is that I went to a doctor and got a confirmation (with xrays) that no bones are broken in my foot. My foot and back are sore, but they're already quite a bit better than they were (I'm barely limping at all now) and the doctor said they should be fine in a week or two if I take it easy.
I suppose the whole thing was my fault, really; yeah, I had the legal right-of-way, but I should know by now that this is a meaningless concept; a driver who isn't signalling to you is always a potential hazard, especially in Seattle at rush hour.
The upshot of this, for people seeing this on Planet Debian, is that I probably won't be doing as much Debian work in the near future. I was using my laptop on the bus to catch up on emails and work on "easy" bugs, and I don't have the money to replace it right now (I probably won't until at least January, according to my back-of-the-envelope figuring). I can get some work done on weekends, but at an even more reduced pace than I've been able to since I got a paying job.

No Ben means no win for Steelers
By Buck Frank (bfrank@altoonamirror.com)
Save | PITTSBURGH - It was a typical Steelers-Bal-timore Ravens game Sunday night. Neither team was able to muster much offense, the defenses delivered big hits and didn't allow many points, and several players left the game bruised and battered. And, in what also has become the norm, the Steelers couldn't deliver a victory with starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger out of the game. Article Photos

The Ravens strengthened their lead in the AFC North Division, improving to 8-2, by stopping the Roethlisberger-less Steelers, 13-10, at Heinz Field. The Steelers had their four-game winning streak snapped and fell to 6-4. "Tough football game - nip and tuck,'' Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. "The difference is obviously that we didn't find a significant play, particularly in the waning moments and in any of the three phases to be the difference, to put points on the board and allow us to get out of the stadium with the win.'' The Steelers offense looked helpless at times with Byron Leftwich under center and minus Roethlisberger and receiver Antonio Brown. Leftwich completed less than 50 percent of his passes (18-of-39) and finished with a quarterback rating of 51.3. The running game provided a little help with the rotation of Jonathan Dwyer and Rashard Mendenhall gaining 88 yards on 23 carries. But the Steelers were unspectacular on third down, converting just five of 17 chances against a Ravens defense that was ranked 28th out of 32 in the NFL and was without leader Ray Lewis. "We didn't execute on third downs as we could have,'' Steelers left tackle Max Starks said. "We missed little assignments and had some mistakes, more so than what [the Ravens] did in this game.'' The Steelers defense delivered a quality performance by holding the Ravens to just 200 total yards and stopping them on 11-of-14 third-down chances. Baltimore's offense only scored six points, and both of the field goals came after the Steelers offense committed turnovers. But as well as the Steelers defense played, Pittsburgh's special teams unit gave up the big play of the game by allowing Baltimore's Jacoby Jones to return a punt 63 yards for a score in the first quarter. The touchdown by Jones was his third of the season and second in the last two weeks. "Our special teams guys are upset about it,'' Steelers linebacker Larry Foote said. "We will look at it tomorrow and go to work.'' The Steelers offense actually got off to a good start and wasted little time putting points on the board. They received the opening kickoff and immediately gained 42 yards when Baltimore cornerback Cary Williams interfered on a deep pass to Mike Wallace. After a 7-yard David Gilreath run on an end-around, Leftwich escaped out of the pocket and outran Terrell Suggs down the right sideline, splitting two defenders and stumbling into the end zone for a 31-yard scoring run. The Ravens, though, cut their deficit to 7-3 a little later on a Justin Tucker 26-yard field that was set up by a Wallace fumble that Baltimore's Ed Reed scooped up and returned 17 yards to the Steelers' 12-yard line. The Ravens then gained a 10-7 advantage before the first quarter ended when Jones fielded Drew Butler's punt, sprinted up the middle and outran Butler to the end zone. "They did a nice job,'' Tomlin said. "They double-viced our gunners there, and when they do that, the tackle has to come from the core of the punt formation and it didn't. But nice execution by them - obviously a significant football play.'' The Ravens missed a chance to build on their lead at the beginning of the second quarter when Tucker was wide right on a 41-yard field-goal attempt, and the Steelers trailed by three points at halftime. A promising Steelers drive at the beginning of the third quarter was abruptly ended when Baltimore's Corey Graham picked off Leftwich in Ravens territory. The Ravens didn't waste the opportunity, and Tucker's 39-yard field goal extended their lead to 13-7. The Steelers offense seemed to gain some momentum near the end of the third quarter. Backed by strong runs from Jonathan Dwyer and a 31-yard play in which Leftwich connected with Emmanuel Sanders and Reed was called for a helmet-to-helmet hit, the Steelers marched 80 yards and cut their deficit to 13-10 with a 22-yard Shaun Suisham field goal. The Steelers settled for the field goal after they just missed a touchdown when Wallace couldn't get both of his feet inbounds in the end zone on a 4-yard pass. "I thought it was good,'' Leftwich said. "I thought it was a touchdown when I let it go.'' But the Steelers never got into scoring position again, having two fourth-quarter drives ended near midfield by Ravens sacks. The Steelers, out of timeouts, couldn't pull out a miracle when they had the ball with one minute remaining in the game and lost for the fifth time to the Ravens with Roethlisberger on the sideline. "I think it's two teams that play very similar styles,'' Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "They're two very rugged teams. They're always two good defenses. We're still in that category now. It's a great rivalry.'' The rivalry will continue in two weeks when the teams meet again in Baltimore. Whether or not Roethlisberger will be able to play in that game is still questionable. The Steelers play in Cleveland next Sunday. "We are just focused on correcting our mistakes from tonight and getting back on the field next Sunday and getting a win,'' Steelers tight end Heath Miller said. © Copyright 2014 The Altoona Mirror.

Stock car racing Details
Stock car racing is a form of automobile racing found mainly in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Great Britain, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. Traditionally, races are run on oval tracks measuring approximately 0.25 to 2.66 miles (0.4 to 4.3 kilometers). NASCAR is the world's largest governing body for stock car racing, and its Sprint Cup Series is the de facto premier series of stock car racing. Top level races are 200 to 600 miles (322 to 966 km) in length.Average speeds in the top classes are usually 70–80% of comparable levels of open wheel racing at the same tracks. Some stock cars may reach speeds in excess of 200 mph (322 km/h) at tracks such as Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway. These tracks have come to be known as "restrictor plate tracks", a name that is derived from the "restrictor plate" device that was designed to limit top speeds to approximately 192 mph (309 km/h) on such tracks.

Dale Earnhardt, Inc. Details
From 1980 to 2009, Dale Earnhardt, Inc. (DEI) operated as a NASCAR-related organization in Mooresville, North Carolina, United States. The company was founded by Dale Earnhardt and his wife, Teresa Earnhardt. Earnhardt was a seven-time Winston Cup champion. He died in a crash on the closing lap of the 2001 Daytona 500. Despite his ownership of the DEI racing team, Earnhardt never drove for his team in the Winston Cup; instead he raced for his long-time mentor and backer Richard Childress at RCR. In the late 2000s, DEI suffered critical financial difficulties when Dale Earnhardt, Jr. left and Anheuser-Busch and the United States Army moved their sponsorships to Gillett Evernham Motorsports and the then newly formed Stewart-Haas Racing, respectively; consequently, DEI merged with Chip Ganassi Racing in 2009 to form Earnhardt Ganassi Racing.DEI continues to celebrate the life and legacy of Earnhardt through an annual celebration of his birthday, April 29 (Dale Earnhardt Day). DEI maintains a showroom where fans can purchase memorabilia and other goods and pursues partnerships which bring tribute to Earnhardt's memory. The DEI campus is open to visitors from Monday to Friday (in most weeks and on some weekends when there are races). Fans can also join the official "Dale Earnhardt fan club" (Club E), to garner insider information and 'behind the scenes' experiences.

Getting Started
RedPajama-V2 is an open dataset for training large language models. The dataset includes over 100B text documents coming from 84 CommonCrawl snapshots and processed using the CCNet pipeline. Out of these, there are 30B documents in the corpus that additionally come with quality signals. In addition, we also provide the ids of duplicated documents which can be used to create a dataset with 20B deduplicated documents.
Check out our blog post for more details on the build process, dataset structure and schema.
A full set of scripts to recreate the dataset, including the quality signals, can be found here.
Downloading the raw Dataset with Quality Annotations
To familiarize yourself with the dataset, you can load the sample dataset using:
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("togethercomputer/RedPajama-Data-V2", name="sample")
To download a the dataset for a specific combination of {partition} x {snapshot_id} x {language}
, you can use the
following command which downloads the raw (i.e., not deduplicated) part of the dataset and the corresponding quality
signals. In the example below, we use English and German data from the head_middle
partition of the 2023-06 and the
2022-49 snapshots. The full set of available snapshots is specified in _CC_SNAPSHOT_IDS
. The available partitions
are tail
and head_middle
. The available language tags are en
, de
, fr
, es
, it
.
Note that this will download the entire snapshots specified in the snapshots
argument and requires ~1TB of disk space
per snapshot.
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("togethercomputer/RedPajama-Data-V2",
name="default",
partition="head_middle",
snapshots=["2023-06", "2022-49"],
languages=["en", "de"])
Downloading the dataset via wget
If you prefer to download the full dataset via wget, you can download the following lists of urls and use them to download the dataset:
# get list of urls pointing to the text documents
wget "https://data.together.xyz/redpajama-data-v2/v1.0.0/urls/document-urls.txt" -O "document-urls.txt"
# get list of urls pointing to the quality signals
wget "https://data.together.xyz/redpajama-data-v2/v1.0.0/urls/quality_signals-urls.txt" -O "quality_signals-urls.txt"
# get list of urls pointing to the ids of duplicate documents
wget "https://data.together.xyz/redpajama-data-v2/v1.0.0/urls/duplicates-urls.txt" -O "duplicates-urls.txt"
# get list of urls pointing to the minhash signatures
wget "https://data.together.xyz/redpajama-data-v2/v1.0.0/urls/minhash-urls.txt" -O "minhash-urls.txt"
You can also directly download subsets of the dataset using the following instructions. Here we use English
data from the 2023-06
snapshot and the head_middle
partition as an example. The full set of CC snapshots included in
the dataset is given in _CC_SNAPSHOT_IDS
. The available partitions are tail
and head_middle
. The available
language tags are en
, de
, fr
, es
, it
.
To download the plain text data, available for both the head_middle
and tail
partitions, you can run
CC_SNAPSHOT="2023-06"
LANG="en"
PARTITION="head_middle"
BASE_URL="https://data.together.xyz/redpajama-data-v2/v1.0.0"
listings_tag="${LANG}-${CC_SNAPSHOT}-${PARTITION}"
mkdir listings
wget "${BASE_URL}/listings/${listings_tag}.txt" -O "listings/${listings_tag}.txt"
listings_file="listings/${listings_tag}.txt"
# download documents
while read line; do
url="${BASE_URL}/documents/${line}.json.gz"
dest="documents/${line}.json.gz"
mkdir -p $(dirname $dest)
wget "$url" -O "$dest"
done <"$listings_file"
In addition, for the head_middle
partition, you can also download the quality signals, minhash signatures and
duplicate ids using the following commands:
CC_SNAPSHOT="2023-06"
LANG="en"
BASE_URL="https://data.together.xyz/redpajama-data-v2/v1.0.0"
listings_tag="${LANG}-${CC_SNAPSHOT}-head_middle"
mkdir listings
wget "${BASE_URL}/listings/${listings_tag}.txt" -O "listings/${listings_tag}.txt"
listings_file="listings/${listings_tag}.txt"
# download quality signals
while read line; do
url="${BASE_URL}/quality_signals/${line}.signals.json.gz"
dest="quality_signals/${line}.signals.json.gz"
mkdir -p $(dirname $dest)
wget "$url" -O "$dest"
done <"$listings_file"
# download other components
COMPS=("minhash" "duplicates")
for comp in "${COMPS[@]}"; do
while read line; do
url="${BASE_URL}/${comp}/${line}.${comp}.parquet"
dest="${comp}/${line}.${comp}.parquet"
mkdir -p $(dirname $dest)
wget "$url" -O "$dest"
done <"$listings_file"
done
Applying Filtering Rules
You can use the quality signals to filter the raw RedPajama-V2 dataset for a given set of rules. For example, consider the following set of rules used in Gopher:
def gopher_rules_pass(sample) -> bool:
""" function returns True if the sample complies with Gopher rules """
signals = json.loads(sample["quality_signals"])

)
filtered_dataset = []

Dataset Creation
The dataset is based on 84 snapshots provided by Common Crawl. Each snapshot was processed using the CCNet pipeline and
split into head
middle
tail
buckets, depending on the perplexity score. In a second step, the documents in the
head
and middle
buckets were annotated with the quality signals described above. Finally, the documents were
deduplicated based on the text, using a Bloomfilter. The duplicates were kept in the dataset, but are marked in the
duplicates
component.
