A French unit on patrol in Vietnam in 1954, during the final year of the First Indochina War, is ambushed by Viet Minh forces, probably the Battle of Mang Yang Pass. Viet Minh commander Nguyen Huu An orders his soldiers to "kill all they send, and they will stop coming".
Eleven years later, the United States is fighting the Vietnam War. U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Hal Moore (Mel Gibson) is chosen to train and lead a battalion. After arriving in Vietnam, he learns that an American base has been attacked, and is ordered to take his 400 men after the enemy and eliminate the North Vietnamese attackers, despite the fact that intelligence has no idea of the number of enemy troops. Moore leads a newly created air cavalry unit into the Ia Drang Valley. After landing in the "Valley of Death", the soldiers capture a North Vietnamese soldier and learn from him that the location they were sent to is actually the base camp for a veteran North Vietnamese army division of 4,000 men.
Upon arrival in the area with a platoon of soldiers, 2nd Lt. Henry Herrick spots an enemy scout, runs after him, and orders reluctant soldiers to follow. The North Vietnamese scout lures them into an ambush, resulting in several men being killed, including Herrick and his subordinates. The surviving platoon members are surrounded with no chance of retreat and are cut off from the rest of the battalion. Sgt. Savage assumes command, calls in artillery, and uses the cover of night to keep the Vietnamese from overrunning their small defensive position. Meanwhile, with helicopters constantly dropping off units, Moore manages to secure weak points before the North Vietnamese can take advantage of them.
On the second day, despite being trapped and desperately outnumbered, the main U.S. force manages to hold off the North Vietnamese with artillery, mortars, and helicopter airlifts of supplies and reinforcements. Eventually, Nguyen Huu An, the commander of the North Vietnamese division, orders a large-scale attack on the American position.
At the point of being overrun by the enemy and with no options left, Moore orders 1st Lt. Charlie Hastings, his Forward Air Controller, to call in "Broken Arrow" (a call for all available combat aircraft to assist and attack enemy positions, even those close to the U.S. troops' position, because a position is being overrun and can no longer be defended).[3] The aircraft attack with bombs, napalm, and machine guns, killing many PAVN and Viet Cong troops; but a friendly fire incident also results in American deaths. The second North Vietnamese attack is repelled, and the surviving soldiers of Herrick's cut off platoon, including Savage, are rescued.
Meanwhile, back in the United States, Julia Moore (Madeleine Stowe) has become the leader of the American wives living on the base. When the Army begins to use yellow cab drivers to deliver telegrams notifying the next of kin of soldiers' deaths in combat, Julia personally assumes that emotional responsibility instead.
Moore's troops regroup, secure the area, and stop at the base of a hill. Nguyen Huu An plans a final assault on the Americans and sends most of his troops to carry out the attack. The North Vietnamese have set up strong emplacements near the hidden entrance of the underground passage to the command post. Hal and his men charge at them, but before the North Vietnamese can fire, Major Bruce "Snake" Crandall and others in helicopter gunships attack the North Vietnamese, destroying the bulk of the enemy force.
Nguyen Huu An is alerted that the Americans have broken through their lines and that there are no soldiers between the Americans and their command post. Since he had deployed his reserve forces to the final offensive, and the base camp has no troops to call upon for defense, Huu An quickly orders the headquarters evacuated.
Moore, having achieved his objective, returns to the helicopter landing zone to be picked up. Only after everyone (including the dead and wounded) is removed from the battlefield does he fly out of the valley. Some time later, Nguyen Huu An and his men arrive on the battlefield to collect their dead. He claims that the Americans will "think this was their victory. So this will become an American war."
At the end of the film, it is revealed that the landing zone immediately reverted to North Vietnamese hands after the American troops were airlifted out. Hal Moore continued the battle in a different landing zone, and after nearly a year he returns home safely to Julia and his family. His superiors congratulate him for killing over 1,800 North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong soldiers. An older Moore visits the Vietnam War memorial and sees the names of soldiers who fell at Ia Drang.

Adaptation from source materialEdit
In the source book We Were Soldiers Once… And Young, Hal Moore complains that "Every damn Hollywood movie got it wrong"; director Randall Wallace has said he was inspired by this comment and became "determined to get it right this time".
The film's final version, though getting many of the facts of the book presented onto film, is not entirely a historically accurate portrayal of the battle, nor is it entirely faithful to the book. For instance, the film depicts a heroic charge under the command of Lt. Col. Hal Moore at the end of the battle that destroys the Vietnamese reserve, ending the battle in an American victory (a fact that director Randall Wallace noted in the DVD commentary[4]); in fact, there was no heroic final charge in the book, nor were the North Vietnamese forces destroyed, though the American commander Moore reported 834 enemy bodies and 1215 estimated KIA (one-third of the enemy force)[5] while the US forces were reduced by 72 out of 395, with 18% fatal casualties. Lt. Col. Nguyen Huu An, the Vietnamese commander, did not see the conclusion at LZ X-Ray as the end of combat, and the Battle of Ia Drang continued the next day with combat action at LZ Albany where the 2/7th, with A Company 1/5th, found themselves in a fight for their lives against Lt. Col. Nguyen Huu An's reserve.
Finally, as the movie notes in a voice over by Joe Galloway (Barry Pepper), that Hal Moore continued to lead in Vietnam for over 235 more days.
There are many additional historical differences between the book and the movie, presumably made to shorten the length of the movie. Some differences not shown would have demonstrated how desperate the American situation at Ia Drang was. For example, the seriousness of the overrun of C Company under the command of Capt. Robert Edwards and the repulse of the final major North Vietnamese push at LZ X-Ray on the former C Company line, which was then held by B Company 2/7th under the command of Capt. Myron Diduryk, the Ukrainian captain who Col. Moore (Mel Gibson) seems to claim is attached to the 1/7th. Also incorrect is the act of Capt. Ramon Nadal pushing forward and rescuing the stranded platoon of Lt. Henry Herrick, which according to the book was actually done not by one company of the 1/7th, but rather by two companies of the 2/5th as well as B Company 1/7th.
Despite the aforementioned differences from the book and departures from historical accuracy, Gen. Moore states in a documentary included in the video versions that this film is the first one "to get it right".[6]
We Were Soldiers is noteworthy for the use of the haunting lament Sgt. MacKenzie by Joseph Kilna MacKenzie.
The film received mostly positive reviews.[7] Roger Ebert, writing for the Chicago Sun-Times, gave We Were Soldiers 3.5 stars out of 4, and praised the its truthful and realistic battle scenes and how it follows the characters.
"Black Hawk Down" was criticized because the characters seemed hard to tell apart. "We Were Soldiers" doesn't have that problem; in the Hollywood tradition it identifies a few key players, casts them with stars, and follows their stories.[8]
Lisa Schwarzbaum, from Entertainment Weekly, gave the film a B and noted its fair treatment of both sides.
The writer-director bestows honor – generously, apolitically – not only on the dead and still living American veterans who fought in Ia Drang, but also on their families, on their Vietnamese adversaries, and on the families of their adversaries too. Rarely has a foe been portrayed with such measured respect for a separate reality, which should come as a relief to critics (I'm one) of the enemy's facelessness in Black Hawk Down; vignettes of gallantry among Vietnamese soldiers and such humanizing visual details as a Vietnamese sweetheart's photograph left behind, in no way interfere with the primary, rousing saga of a fine American leader who kept his promise to his men to "leave no one behind dead or alive."[9]
David Sterritt, from the Christian Science Monitor, criticized the film for giving a more positive image of the Vietnam War that, in his opinion, did not concur with reality.
The films about Vietnam that most Americans remember are positively soaked in physical and emotional torment – from "Platoon," with its grunt's-eye view of combat, to "Apocalypse Now," with its exploration of war's dehumanizing insanity. Today, the pendulum has swung back again. If filmmakers with politically twisted knives once sliced away guts-and-glory clichés, their current equivalents hack away all meaningful concern with moral and political questions. "We Were Soldiers" is shameless in this regard, filling the screen with square-jawed officers who weep at carnage and fresh-faced GIs who use their last breaths to intone things like, "I'm glad I died for my country."[10]
Todd McCarthy, from Variety, wrote the film "presents the fighting realistically, violently and relatively coherently given the chaotic circumstances..." McCarthy further wrote, "Mel Gibson has the closest thing to a John Wayne part that anyone's played since the Duke himself rode into the sunset, and he plays it damn well." He summarized with, "Gibson's performance anchors the film with commanding star power to burn. This officer truly loves his men, and the credibility with which the actor is able to express Moore's leadership qualities as well as his sensitive side is genuinely impressive."[11]
Hal Moore, who had long been critical of many Vietnam War films for their negative portrayals of American servicemen, publicly expressed approval of the film and is featured in segments of the DVD. Some soldiers were less pleased: Retired Col Rick Rescorla, who played an important role in the book and was pictured on the cover (and later died in the September 11 attacks), was disappointed, after reading the script, to learn that he and his unit had been written out of the film. In one key incident, the finding of a vintage French bugle on a dying Vietnamese soldier, the English-born Rescorla is replaced by a nameless Welsh platoon leader.[12][13][14][15][16]

In contrast, growth in the artificial and synthetic colours market has slowed, with a sales increase of less than 4 per cent between 2007 and 2011. The share of the overall market held by artificial and synthetic colours was 37 per cent in 2011, down from 40 per cent in 2007.
"The results of the Southampton Six study has really accelerated the move toward natural colours in Europe, but other regions are also following suit as the consumer demand for more natural formulations builds and as key producers and retailers look to phase out artificial ingredients," said Chris Brockman, Senior Global Food and Drink Analyst at Mintel.
The food industry alone accounts for a 70% share of the natural food colours market compared to 27% for soft drinks and just 3% for alcoholic beverages according to the Mintel and Leatherhead Food Research report.
The research also found that the use of natural colours in new launches of food and drinks outweighs the use of artificial and synthetic colours on a global basis by 2 to 1. Europe in particular has shown a strong migration towards use of more natural colours, overall using them in 85 per cent of new products between 2009 and 2011.
Overall, the global market for food colours was worth an estimated US$1.55 billion in 2011, which is a growth of 13 per cent from 2007. However, average annual growth levels are slowing overall. They are currently between 2 and 3 per cent, down from between 4 and 5 per cent average annual growth for most of the previous decade.
"Much of this slowdown in growth can be attributed to the global economic recession, and its subsequent effect on consumer expenditure on many sectors of the global food and drinks industry, as well as the continued decline in demand for artificial and synthetic food colourings," said Brockman.
The report predicts that the trend toward greater use of natural colours will continue, especially within premium food and drink segments and in products positioned for children.
"The drive for natural food formulations will endure in the global food and drink industry as consumers continue to seek simplicity and purity in food and drink ingredients lists," said Rachel Wilson, Principal Technical Advisor at Leatherhead Food Research.
The trend towards natural colours is likely to continue for the foreseeable future, she said.
In Australia, food colouring has been an important issue for several years. Concerns about the levels of additives, in particular in food consumed by children, and their affect on human health have been regularly addressed by Food Standards Australian New Zealand (FSANZ) – most recently in June 2012, when the FSANZ released a report that reassured Australians parents that their children consume only low levels of food colouring.
Australia has been moving towards natural food colouring for several years. Australian Food News reported in 2009 that there was an increasing demand for natural food colouring in Australia.

Surprising sex tips from expert Esther Perel | Well+Good
Sex Advice
Why Your Sex Life Is Going to Keep Getting Better As You Age, According to Esther Perel
Jamie McKillop
World renowned psychotherapist Esther Perel is the best-selling author of Mating in Captivity: Unlocking Erotic Intelligence, and if you haven't seen her viral TED Talk on maintaining desire in relationships, you're practically alone—it's been viewed nearly six million times.
One key message the between-the-sheets guru wants you to know? Even if you're leaving your 20s or 30s behind, the best sex of your life is likely still yet to come. (Cue sigh of relief.)
"A lot of us in our twenties may have had a lot of sex, but it doesn't mean it was good sex," 57-year-old Perel said during a talk last week at ABC Home, with superstar yogi Elena Brower. "There's this idea that sex is amazing when you're young and then it only goes down from there—but really in your twenties, you lie to yourself and your partners that it's the greatest thing ever, when you're really wondering what the big deal is all about."
So why will you find sweet, sensual fulfillment as an older adult? "Self-confidence and self-acceptance. That comes with age. You may be less acrobatic but you have more of that," Perel explains. "People feel better during sex when they feel more entitled to it. You deserve to feel good and to claim your desire, but that comes with life and maturity."
So wherever you are on the consenting adult maturity spectrum, we're sharing a few of Perel's tips to make sure your sex life is filled with excitement as you age.
1. Don't be afraid to schedule it. Sure, this sounds like something an old person would say, but hear us out. "Everyone thinks sex has to be spontaneous," Perel says. "There isn't one type of sexuality. For some people, there's something about preparing for it, by doing things like punctuating the moment by lighting candles. Don't think 'sex has to be...blank.'" Why limit yourself when putting it on the calendar may actually work for you? "If you plan to go to yoga, not a single person says that takes the pleasure out of it," she reasons. Which brings us to...
2. Use your yoga skills. "So much of yoga is also about breath. Many people in their lovemaking forget to breathe," she says. "You have to connect movement with breath, and move! So many people move certain body parts during sex but don't move their bodies. You don't do yoga without engaging the whole body, and sex is no different." To go deeper, you could even tap meditation.
3. Mix it up. This may sound obvious, but it's worth the reminder. "With relationships, we rely on the fact that tomorrow will look like it does today," Perel says. "Over time, that sucks the eroticism out of it." Put it back in by experimenting. Hey, you may even discover that sex in your 20s wasn't even hitting your personal sweet spot. —Jamie McKillop

Thanks so much to all the Brothers & Sisters in Christ who lifted me in prayer this week! I so appreciate the prayerful support of this community. My biopsy report came back today – I'm cancer free – PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!!!! I do still have pollups that need to be removed, which I will be scheduling my surgery for that soon. Thanks again for all your kind support and encouragement, it means allot! God be with thee, guide thee, protect & bless thee.
I had confronted a pastor some years ago over some terribly bad false teaching (he discreetly called himself infallible while he preached). I had it out, and I thought that was the end of it.
If only my work on Poly goes so well it would be quite a change. It is humanly impossible that the things I've been doing should change hearts, but with God in due season change happens.

SC Hikes Retirement Rate For Taxpayers, State Employees
"TOLD YOU SO …"
And so it begins …
The costly pension fund debacle this website has been warning readers about (for years) took a massive bite out of the wallets of taxpayers and state employees this week.
But even bigger bites are coming …
By a 3-2 vote on Tuesday, the S.C. State Fiscal Accountability Authority (SFAA) voted to raise employee and employer retirement contribution rates to the South Carolina public pension fund by 0.5 percent each.
The increases – which we exclusively reported on months ago – will drain $45 million from state employees and roughly the same amount from their employers (the taxpayers of South Carolina).
In effect, it's a $90 million tax hike.
Voting for the increase? S.C. governor Nikki Haley and S.C. Senate president Hugh Leatherman – whose appointees to the state's retirement panel bear most of the blame for this fiasco.
S.C. House ways and means chairman Brian White also supported the increase.
Under the "leadership" of Haley's appointee Ed Giobbe and Leatherman's appointee Reynolds Williams, this fund has seen its debt soar by more than $7 billion over the last two years (while losing more than $3 billion of its value).
And yes … we called on these hacks to be fired years ago (especially Williams). But no one listened.
(Pic via S.C. Governor's Office)
Opposing this week's rate increase was S.C. Treasurer Curtis Loftis – who has spent the better part of the last six years fighting a lonely battle against the corruption and incompetence of the current system.
"This increase is not going to fix the problem," Loftis said. "At this rate, the pension issue is going to continue to grow, until it's too big to fix. Pension increase should not be measured in money, but by how many teachers, policemen, firefighters, and other public employees are taken off the streets."
According to Loftis, state employees in South Carolina are now contributing a whopping 9.17 percent of their income to the retirement fund – which is 55 percent higher than the national average.
Those gaudy numbers are only going to get worse, too. The state's Public Employee Benefit Authority (PEBA) has projected future rate hikes of 2-3 percent annually.
"We're soon going to be looking at additional infusions of $500-600 million a year … every year for the next three decades," we wrote.
Can dirt poor Palmetto State taxpayers afford such a hit? Of course not.
"Public employees and taxpayers are going to pay more, when they are guilty of nothing but working hard and trusting their elected officials," Loftis said.
Loftis has consistently fought against the fund managers' foolhardy "alternative investment" portfolio – advising them to follow a more conservative investment strategy, one that didn't rely so heavily on exorbitant fees. He also objected to the SCRSIC doling out massive bonuses to the very bureaucrats who produced some of the worst results of any large pension fund in America (at the highest price, too).
Sadly, they didn't listen … and the media didn't start reporting on their failure until it was too late.

Super Junior's Heechul was hit with an LED board while performing at the "Super Show 3" concert in Shanghai, and it's being reported that he visited a hospital immediately upon his return to Korea.
Because the injury happened the day before Heechul was to celebrate his sixth year anniversary, fans expressed their disappointment with the turn of events.
A representative of SM Entertainment spoke with Star News on the morning of the 7th and revealed, "Heechul's face was scratched by an LED board a fan threw to him as a present. Immediately upon his arrival in Korea, he was taken to a hospital in Seoul. Thankfully, his examination results proved that it wasn't a serious injury.

WebExtensions still on track for Firefox 48
3 years ago / 1460 Views
WebExtensions, a new browser API for Firefox that Mozilla wants add-on developers to focus on once it has been released, is still on track for a Firefox 48 release.
Mozilla announced the push towards WebExtensions back in mid-2015 and made the decision back then to model the new API after Google's Blink extension API.
Mozilla has several reasons to develop a new API, including making it easier to port extensions from and to Google Chrome and Chromium-based web browsers, making the review process easier, and making add-ons more robust when it comes to browser updates.
The initial announcement raised fear that Firefox's superior add-on system would be severely limited with the release of WebExtensions since Mozilla announced that it would deprecate core features of the current system in the future as well.
WebExtensions Progress
The organization targets Firefox 48 for a first stable release of WebExtensions in the browser, and that goal has not changed yet.
Mozilla Engineering Manager Andy McKay revealed yesterday that WebExtensions are still on their way towards a Firefox 48 release.
He highlighted some of the progress that has been made by developers working on the implementation, and noted that the current state allowed an extensions such as Ghostery to be written as a web extension already.
In Firefox 48 we pushed hard to make the WebRequest API a solid foundation for privacy and security add-ons such as Ghostery, RequestPolicy and NoScript. With the current implementation of the onErrorOccurred function, it is now possible for Ghostery to be written as a WebExtension.
The first Firefox-only feature, reliable origin information, has been implemented as well which will benefit extensions such as uBlock Origin or NoScript when they are ported to the new API.
NoScript users on top of that will benefit from requestBody support which, according to McKay, will improve the performance of NoScript's XSS filter by the factor 20 or more in some cases.
WebExtensions in Firefox 48
It is certainly the case that WebExtensions won't replicate all functionality of Firefox's add-on system with the initial Firefox 48 release.
If you look at the road map — a draft currently — you will notice that features won't land in Firefox 48.
Parity with Chrome's Extensions API.
Getting top 20 Chrome and Firefox add-ons to work with WebExtensions-
Release of native.js prototype which allows add-on developers to access XPCOM or XUL among other things. You can check out this article on native.js or the bug listing on Bugzilla. One idea behind the feature is to monitor the use closely to add popular features used to the WebExtensions API.
Mozilla landed a change recently that improves Chrome compatibility. Basically, it allows for Chrome extensions to be run in Firefox without manifest changes when they are loaded via about:debugging as temporary add-ons.
One interesting and ironic side-effect of Mozilla's WebExtensions implementation is that Firefox for Android users will be able to install (some) Chrome extensions in the web browser while Chrome users can't.
Firefox Nightly users who want to get a feel for WebExtensions can check out example extensions that Mozilla publishes on GitHub.
Firefox 48 will be released on August 2, 2016.
I'm cautiously optimistic about the implementation of WebExtensions. What about you?

The 32-year-old is available on a free transfer after his short-term contract with Crystal Palace expired at the end of the season.
The former Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham forward made seven appearances and scored one goal for Alan Pardew's side after joining on a six-month deal in January.
Adebayor, who in May told Sky Sports he hoped to stay with Palace, was reported to be of interested to Turkish side Caykur Rizespor earlier this month.
Rizespor coach Hikmet Karaman claimed a deal had been 'agreed in principle' to reunite Adebayor with former Arsenal team-mate Mathieu Flamini at the Super Lig club.

Entries for the 2017 FIA World Rallycross Championship presented by Monster Energy have been released by the FIA this morning [Friday 3 March]. The full entry list can be found here.
Eighteen drivers (nine different nationalities) will battle it out in the headline World Championship Supercar class which includes six teams and six individual entries.
Leading the charge will be World RX Teams' Champions EKS which will be headed up by reigning Champion Mattias Ekstrom and his Finnish team-mate Topi Heikkinen. With official factory support from Audi, the team is also fielding a third car at all 12 World Championship rounds which will be driven by Latvia's Reinis Nitiss. Team Peugeot-Hansen has also entered a third car this season with Kevin Hansen set to drive a Peugeot 208 WRX Supercar as an independent entry. Sebastien Loeb and Timmy Hansen will remain the nominated point-scorers for the Swedish-based team.
Double World RX Champion Petter Solberg and Sweden's Johan Kristoffersson have joined forces to compete in the new PSRX Volkswagen Sweden team. They will pilot a pair of Volkswagen Polo RX Supercars that have been developed and engineered in Hanover, Germany. Solberg will be responsible for the sporting operations of the new team supported by Volkswagen Sweden and its distributors.
MJP Racing Team Austria (formerly World RX Team Austria) has made two driver changes as Kevin Eriksson and Timo Scheider will compete in a pair of Ford Fiesta Supercars. Eriksson – who won Germany RX last year – moves from Olsbergs MSE while DTM Champion Scheider makes a full-time commitment to rallycross for the first time.
New for 2017 is Austria's Team STARD which is managed by former WRC driver Manfred Stohl's operation, Stohl Racing. Team-mates Janis Baumanis (Latvia) and Timur Timerzyanov (Russia) have both switched from Max Pucher's MJP Racing Team to the all-new STARD team and will compete in two Ford Fiesta RXS Supercars.
The Hoonigan Racing Division team will remain unchanged this year – Ken Block and Andreas Bakkerud team-mates again in the Ford Focus RS RX which helped Bakkerud amass three victories last season.
There will also be six individual entries who can compete for the 2017 Drivers' Championship including Great Britain's Guy Wilks who will compete in Kristoffersson's 2016 Volkswagen Polo with the all-new Loco World RX Team. Hungary's Kornel "CsuCsu" Lukacs will move up from the FIA European Rallycross Championship and will compete in Gigi Galli's Kia Rio Supercar. Galli is set to return to World RX later in the season in another brand-new Rio as team-mate to Lukacs.
Jean-Baptiste Dubourg confirmed earlier this week that he will enter a full World Championship campaign in the same Peugeot 208 WRX Supercar which was used by Kevin Hansen to win the 2016 Euro RX title. Niclas Gronholm – son of WRC legend Marcus – will drive an M-Sport Fiesta under the GRX banner.
Austria's Max Pucher and Britain's Andrew Jordan are also featured on the 2017 entry list. Pucher has not yet nominated which events he will compete in but BTCC ace Jordan has confirmed he will replace Scheider at World RX of Great Britain at Lydden Hill in May.
The full FIA European Rallycross Championship line-up for Supercars, Super1600 and TouringCars will be released on Monday 6 March. The FIA World Rallycross Championship is head-to-head, short, sharp racing on mixed surfaces (dirt and asphalt) contained within amphitheatre venues. High profile drivers are equipped with RX Supercars with over 600bhp and the ability to accelerate from 0-60mph in less than two seconds. World RX debuted in 2014 with a 12-round calendar including events in Argentina, Turkey, Canada and throughout Europe. An expanded series was confirmed for 2015, with new rounds at Formula One venues Hockenheim in Germany and the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain. In 2016, an all-new city race was held in Riga, Latvia, and in 2017 rallycross will visit Africa for the first time with a new round scheduled in Cape Town. Race meetings include a number of short, sharp action-packed qualifying heats with the most successful drivers progressing through to the finals.

Recap: Phoenix Suns defeat Golden State Warriors behind Goran Dragic's superstar performance
The Suns beat the Warriors in Phoenix with great offensive nights from several players, including Goran Dragic.
By Sreekar Feb 8, 2014, 10:50pm MST
Share All sharing options for: Recap: Phoenix Suns defeat Golden State Warriors behind Goran Dragic's superstar performance
Casey Sapio-USA TODAY Sports
Goran Dragic is a star. Tonight, he played like a superstar. But according to the NBA, he's no All-Star.
Goran Dragic scored a career-high 34 points on just 13 shots to power the Suns to a victory against the Warriors, 122-109. His son, Matteo, was at the game to see his father play for the first time ever, and Goran responded by playing arguably the best game of his career.
Here's an unofficial paparazzi shot of Goran's wife and son:
The Suns came out sharp to begin the game and shot the ball very well in the first period. Unfortunately, so did the Warriors. Both teams finished the first quarter shooting over 50% from the field. Dragic ended the period with 10 points and 2 assists on perfect shooting from the field and the free throw line, while Curry had 6 points and 2 assists. The Dragic vs. Curry matchup had gotten off to a very promising start.
The Suns also took advantage of an undersized Warriors team that was missing David Lee and Andrew Bogut by crashing the boards and establishing their force inside. Phoenix finished the game out-rebounding Golden State 45-34.
The Suns led 63-59 after a high-ocatane first half. The Warriors' hot shooting kept them in the game despite a disadvantage in size, thanks to Harrison Barnes having an uncharacteristically good game off the bench, Klay Thompson's shooting, and of course, Steph Curry's brilliance.
Phoenix got off to a good start in the third quarter and briefly took a 14 point lead...which was cut in half in less than a minute:
Golden State cut the Suns 14 point lead in half in 51 seconds.
— Scott Howard (@ScottHoward42) February 9, 2014
The Suns were able to maintain their lead throughout the quarter, however, thanks to strong play from Dragic, Gerald Green and PJ Tucker, and some very smart decision-making from Channing Frye. The Warriors went with Draymond Green at the four spot and Channing took advantage by playing inside much more than usual and finishing some strong moves inside with ease.
The Suns took a 95-90 lead into the final quarter, at which point Goran Dragic already had 21 points and 8 assists while Gerald Green logged 23 points and 5 rebounds. That's 43 points from the starting backcourt in three quarters. Not bad.
The game was a back-and-forth effort throughout much of the fourth quarter and the Warriors cut Phoenix's lead to two points on more than one occasion. The Suns made the right plays when it mattered, however, and were able to distance themselves late in the quarter thanks to Goran Dragic's brilliance.
The Dragon had 13 points in the fourth quarter tonight and was simply unstoppable. The put the Warriors away at the end of the game with a series of shots and finished the game with 34 points and 10 assists on 10-13 shooting from the field, 6-7 from three and 8-10 from the charity stripe. 34 points on 13 shots is just stupid good.
Meanwhile, Steph Curry finished the game with 28 points and 9 assists on 10-20 shooting from the field. However, he was just 3-10 from the three point line and went scoreless in the final period.
Goran Dragic was nothing short of amazing tonight. The level of efficiency he displayed tonight is incredibly rare, and didn't go unnoticed:

Non-Dragon Players of the Night
PJ Tucker: Tucker was huge against the Warriors' undermanned front-court, finishing with 16 points and 15 rebounds. Yes, that's a 6'5" player grabbing 15 boards.
Gerald Green: Green scored in a variety of ways tonight and ended the game with 25 points and 5 rebounds on 10-15 shooting from the field. He only shot four three-pointers (hit two of them) and spread his offense around very well tonight. Dragic and Green combined for 59 points, easily outscoring Golden State's "Splash Brothers," who had 45 points.
Marcus Morris: The Morris twins entered the game together in the first quarter and it was immediately evident which of the two was in store for the better night. Marcus scored on his first touch, while Markieff passed to an invisible teammate and turned it over. While the latter struggled after a recent string of strong games, Marcus was the Suns' best player off the night, with 14 points and 6 rebounds.
Channing Frye: Frye had a decent game statistically, finishing with 13 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assits on 6-13 shooting. However, only three of those 13 shot attempts were from the three-point line, as he really made a conscious effort to take the ball in the paint against a Lee and Bogut-less Golden State squad. It's easy to forget that Frye played significantly in the post when he was in college and in his first couple years in the NBA, but he reminded us tonight.
Steph Curry & Harrison Barnes: Curry and Barnes were Golden State's best performers tonight. Curry finished with 28 points but was visibly gassed at the end of the game. Meanwhile, Barnes, who has been struggling in his sophomore year (shooting under 41% from the field on the season), had his best game since December.
All in all, this was a much-needed win for a Suns team that had lost two straight. Phoenix now sits at the 6th spot in the West, while Golden State is tied with Dallas for 7th. Huge win tonight, with an MVP-level performance from Goran Dragic.
But he's not an All-Star.
Stephen's Study: Suns lose touch with the little things, come up short vs Dallas The Suns failed to execute or match the scrappy efforts of Dallas, sans Doncic, coming up just short, 95-99.
Preview: Suns take on Spurs, needing a win to keep pace in tight Western Conference The Spurs are tanking. The Suns are trying to win. Should be an easy game to predict, right?
Recap: Suns lose on cold shooting night to Mavericks, 99-95 The Suns were still without Devin Booker, and the Mavericks lost Luka Doncic in the opening minutes.

Packers Training Camp 2014
Packers Roster: 10 Defensive Backs Make The Team
By Brandon Updated Sep 4, 2011, 6:00pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Packers Roster: 10 Defensive Backs Make The Team
The Green Bay Packers play most of their defensive sets with five defensive backs, so if there was an area to keep an extra player or two, the defensive backfield was the place. This is the deepest backfield I can ever recall. That doesn't mean that everyone is a future star, but they'd be OK if any of these players (except Jarrett Bush) were forced into a starting role.
The locks: Charles Woodson, Nick Collins, Tramon Williams, and Bush. Why is Bush included? Because if he can play like he's played over the past few seasons and still have a roster spot, he's never leaving. I don't know what he'd have to do to find himself released.
Locks, but they're not both starters: Sam Shields and Morgan Burnett. Shields plays as much as some other defensive starters as the third CB, and I wasn't quite sure Burnett had the other starting safety job secured until training camp began. Both players were locks to make the roster.
The backups: Davon House, Pat Lee, M.D. Jennings, and Charlie Peprah. House barely played this preseason as he was battling one injury or another, but they don't appear to be serious (or he'd be placed on I.R.) and the fourth round pick has shown enough in practice to show he belongs.
Lee was the best of the backup cornerbacks in the final preseason game, and his past experience with the defense helped him secure a roster spot.
Jennings was fine when he played safety, but he recovered two onside kicks on special teams that probably earned him a job. I didn't expect he'd have any chance to earn a roster spot at the start of training camp.
I thought Peprah would open camp as the starting safety, but he was never in the mix. He played like a backup this preseason. It's good to know they have such an experienced starter on the bench.
On the outside: S Anthony Bratton, CB Josh Gordy, S Anthony Levine, CB Brandian Ross, and S Brandon Underwood. I'm not surprised these five players missed out, but I won't be surprised to see them get another chance elsewhere (or wind up on the practice squad).
Bratton might have been just as good on defense as M.D. Jennings, but didn't stand out on special teams.
Gordy got off to a strong start and played with the first team defense at times, but he slid down the depth chart as the preseason went on. He allowed two TD passes against the Chiefs in the final preseason game.
Levine was out due to a concussion for most of training camp, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him back on the practice squad at some point because he did a great job with the scout team last season.
Ross is listed at 6-0 but he seems taller due to his long arms. He made a couple rookie mistakes, but he showed some potential. I'm glad they were able to sign him to the practice squad.
Underwood never translated his great athletic ability into a great performance on the field. His off-field legal problems over the past couple years didn't help him, but it was his on-field play that made his release inevitable.

Update: it didn't seem to work as expected so with a little help of this article I changed to code a bit.
The main problem was that I forwarded my ports with the ipfw -command, and since OSX Yosemite, this command is gone. So after some research I came across this article, which explained my how to setup port forwarding on OSX.
load anchor "com.vagrant" from "/etc/pf.anchors/com.vagrant"
That's it! Your ports are now forwarded correctly. Special thanks go out to Nicholas Graham and Salvatore Garbesi for their input.
Ignore this warning: "pfctl: Use of -f option, could result in flushing of rules".
Yes, thanks for sharing, it was quite useful to me !
Nice to hear that it helped you!
You're absolutely right, that's a small typo. You need to add the -e flag. I've updated the article.
The only issue I have is that the ports aren't forwarded after a reboot, despite following your steps to the letter. After a reboot, all the files are still there and correct.
I have to sudo tho. Could that be it? Could there be anything else preventing it coming back?
Yeah I noticed that too! I hope to be able to post a solution to that problem soon.


Some English is spoken by most people involved in tourism: in Egypt - hotel clerks, shopkeepers etc, and many Egyptians take every opportunity to try their language skills on visitors to their country. A little patience with a waiter practising his English will pay dividends.
Shopkeepers in Egypt even come out with buzzwords designed to appeal to their customers. Thus, after establishing you are British - "where you from?" is usually the first question of anyone you meet - they will say "lubbly jubbly" or "Asda price" with a large grin.
Although it is difficult for the westerner to get his tongue around some arabic words, people in Egypt appreciate any attempt to speak the Egyptian language.
Written arabic is even more difficult for the westerner to learn in a short holiday. Fortunately, most signs are also in English and/or graphical.

Q: Send Clojure 'doc' output through pager? The docstrings for some Clojure functions (e.g. defrecord) are quite long.  When running Clojure at in a terminal window, I'd like to be able to in effect send doc's output through a pager such as more (or less).  If someone has written a pager function in Clojure, then I think I could use it along with something like:
(with-out-str (doc defrecord))

Or if there is a standard Java class that implements a pager, I can figure out how to send the output to that.
Alternatively, how can I send the output of doc to a shell command? This doesn't do the job:
(clojure.java.shell/sh "more" :in (with-out-str (doc defrecord))))

[This topic is difficult to search: "more", "less", and "doc" are obviously very common terms, and things like "java pager" bring up pages discussing ways to break text up into pages for formatting documents.]

A: You can use jline for this. If you call setPaginationEnabled, with true, and use the printColumns method, on your jline ConsoleReader, it will page.
But, if you are trying to do this at a standard Leiningen REPL, things get more complicated. The current version of Leiningen v2 uses REPL-y, which uses jline internally, but doesn't use printColumns, so the jline pagination is ignored.
You can, however, get the current Leiningen REPL height through REPL-y's ConsoleReader, in reply.reader.simple-jline/jline-state, and use it to partition the doc string.
(defmacro doc2 [x]
  `(let [h# (-> @reply.reader.simple-jline/jline-state :reader (.. getTerminal getHeight) (- 4))
         [s1# s2#] (split-at h# (-> ~x clojure.repl/doc with-out-str clojure.string/split-lines))]
     (doseq [x# s1#] (println x#))
     (doseq [i# (partition-all h# s2#)]
       (println "\n<more>")
       (read-line)
       (doseq [x# i#] (println x#)))))

You would want to put this macro in your profiles.clj under the :repl profile.
{:user {:plugins [...]}
 :repl {:repl-options {:init (defmacro doc2 [x] ...)}}}

This would put the doc2 macro in the user namespace when you load the repl.

A: echo "(doc defrecord)" |clj|more

Q: Image Thumb Previews for SharePoint Is there a way to generate an image preview of images added into a SharePoint list?
The scenario is the following:
For image files (.jpg, .tif, .png) that are added into a SharePoint document library which are then listed or viewed via "list view web part on another page" when the user hovers over any of the image files a popup window or anything similar should be displayed showing a preview of the image. Is this possible to achieve in SharePoint and how would this be done.
Would css alone achieve this, or will it require c# code behind.
Many thanks,

A: Why not use SharePoint picture libraries ? There you got thumbnails, preview and so on.
Or you could make an custom solution using ex.  jquery fancybox .
I would suggest that you use standard SharePoint or connect the hover effect on the picture library on your own list.

Never tell a child that he is bad. That tears at his self-esteem. Help your child recognize that it isn't that you do not like him, but it is his behavior that you are unwilling to tolerate.
If you feel that your child's behavior is beginning to get out of control, "nip it in the bud" by distracting your child's attention onto a positive activity or game.
Use corner guards on furniture edges and blind cord shorteners to prevent strangulation hazards.
Check for food and drink "hot spots" before giving them to children. Food can heat unevenly.
Create barriers. Lock doors to dangerous areas, open windows from the top or use window guards; screens will not prevent a fall.
Be careful with baby walkers. If you choose to use one, be sure it has a wide base, and never leave the child unattended in the walker.
Check your detectors and change the batteries twice a year.
Create a fire evacuation plan for your family.
Keep at least one fire extinguisher in your home.
Dress for playground safety. Avoid clothing with drawstrings at the head or neck area or loose clothing. Tie up long hair. Always wear shoes.
Check for playground safeness: a soft, deep surface of sand, pea gravel or wood chips and hot metal surface, jagged edges or broken pieces.
Know the location of the hospital and/or urgent care centre closest to your home.
Set realistic expectations for development. See our child development section and check with your paediatrician.
Using a soft toothbrush, help your child brush for two minutes twice a day, including right before bed.
Warm up and suit up! Make sure children warm up before playing sports and that they wear the correct protective gear for sports.
Have a plan for when injuries occur.


The Sandiganbayan Fifth Division undertook a breathtaking legal contortion to convict Imelda, at best on a technicality, and at worst, on a non-existent law. Believe it or not, it is a technicality not even contained in the present one, but in the 1973 "Marcos" Constitution.
The decision was obviously rushed, and is likely to be reversed by the Supreme Court, since it has already a precedent — issued just last June — that dismissed basically similar charges against Imelda.
But a Supreme Court reversal isn't really important. The decision has two aims.
One is to demonize the Marcoses so as to pressure the Presidential Electoral Tribunal not to rule that Ferdinand Marcos Jr. really won as vice president in the 2016 elections. Indeed, Vice President Leni Robredo was so quick as to complain about why the 89-year-old grandmother was allowed to post bail. A second aim is to convince people not to vote to the Senate Imelda's daughter Imee who, going by the polls, is among the frontrunners in that election next year.
Let's point out first the things which the Sandiganbayan Fifth Division's decision absolutely did not say but which the Yellows and the Reds have been jumping over in glee claiming it did.
First, nowhere in the Sandiganbayan decision did it conclude that Imelda with her husband Ferdinand, as Red representative Neri Colmenares has been shrieking, "plundered" the nation's coffers. Nowhere in the decision did the Sandiganbayan conclude, nor did it even discuss, whether or not the funds in the Swiss foundations allegedly owned by the Marcoses were acquired through corruption.
However, the dishonesty of the Sandiganbayan decision, obviously intended to make it a propaganda weapon for the Yellows, is obvious in that it states in its very first pages that the criminal complaints involve the Swiss entities which received the "bribes, facilitation fees, kickbacks or commissions from Japanese corporations or suppliers of roaders and graders for infrastructure projects." But other than that assertion, there were no discussions on these.
These were allegations of the Yellows since 1986 or even earlier, but none of the complaints against the Marcoses even attempted to prove that such "ill-gotten wealth" were put in the Swiss entities. These were totally not discussed in the Sandiganbayan decision.
It must be emphasized that contrary to what many Filipinos think, there is no law that makes it criminal for any Filipino citizen, not even a government official, to have overseas bank accounts or to set up foundations or businesses in Switzerland, Timbuktu or anywhere in the world.
What our anti-graft laws require for a graft conviction is that there must be proof that money in an overseas account or anywhere in the Philippines was criminally acquired through corruption, or the use of a government position.
So, what did the Sandiganbayan convict Imelda for?
Quoting the decision: She is "guilty beyond reasonable doubt for violation of RA 3019, Section 3(h) in relation to Article IX, Section 8 of the 1973 Constitution" for having a stake in seven "foundations" with monies in Switzerland (my emphasis, in boldface).
The term "in relation" reveals the legal contortion the Sandiganbayan exerted to pin Imelda on a very dubious technicality or on a non-existent law.
The intention of this provision in the anti-graft law is as clear as day. It is graft if a government official intervenes using his position to favor a company in which he has an interest in.
For example, it is corruption if a public works official intervenes to get for his firm a government construction project, or to get a national road pass through a subdivision he owns. It is not corruption for him to just have shares in a construction or subdivision company.
As one of the many Supreme Court decisions on this issue (Macariola v. Asuncion and People v. Meneses, to cite two) pointed out, " it is necessary that by reason of his office, he has to intervene in said contracts or transactions and, hence, the official who intervenes in contracts or transactions which have no relation to his office cannot commit this crime." Strangely, the Sandiganbayan decision itself explains this important limitation of the anti-graft law in the cases filed against Imelda, which it used to dismiss two of the nine complaints against her.
It is certainly preposterous to claim that she used her positions as First Lady, Minister of Human Settlements, and Governor of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority to intervene to benefit the entities in Switzerland her husband had set up.
The Sandiganbayan says there is evidence based on the documents surrendered by Swiss Prosecutor that there were instances in which Imelda, who became a Cabinet member (Metro Manila Development Authority governor and minister of Human Settlements) was in communication with the foundations, which it claimed were "businesses." Therefore, she is guilty of graft.
It doesn't even matter if, for example, the entities she set up were financed through donations intended to help Mother Teresa — this is what the Sandiganbayan argument is really saying. If a Cabinet member participates in any business, in Switzerland or Surigao, he is guilty of graft.
An analogy would be the fact that our present Constitution bans political dynasties (Article II, Section 26) but there is no law that implements it. The Ejercitos, Angaras, Revillas, Binays, and Dutertes aren't committing any crime.
In short, Imelda has been convicted by the Sandiganbayan on a law that doesn't exist.
Basta! the Sandiganbayan justices seem to be saying. Imelda is guilty of a 1960 law "in relation" to that provision in the 1973 Constitution.
It just boggles the mind. That provision in the 1973 Constitution, which imposes a ban on a Cabinet member "participating in the management of any business" was deleted in the 1987 Constitution.
How in the world could Imelda be convicted in 2018 for charges filed in 1991 to 1993, for alleged crimes committed from 1968 to 1970 (when the foundations were organized) based on a provision in the 1973 Constitution, that was deleted in the present 1987 Constitution that is the fundamental law of the land? Note that the 1960 Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act has a 10-year prescription period.
What is so suspicious is why the Sandiganbayan decision did not address at all this obviously significant argument against the charges against Imelda, which was one of the most important defenses her lawyers brought up.
In my faith in people, I give the Sandiganbayan justices a huge benefit of the doubt though. The justice who wrote the decision, Maryann Corpus-Mañalac was 20 years old, the associate justice Maria Theresa Mendoza-Arcega, 21, and the 5th Branch chair Rafael Lagos was 32 in 1986 when the Yellow Cult that had absolute control of media intensified its propaganda to demonize the Marcoses.

Gates of Vienna Report on The Ahmindinejad event in NYC-
On September 27, 2008 · In Dhimmitude, Uncategorized
Mad Jad's Night on the Town
www.jewcy.com
by Baron Bodissey
Last night President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran was honored by various pacifist religious groups with an Iftar dinner at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York. According to The Jerusalem Post:
Several hundred people — including a Jewish rabbi and a radical Muslim cleric — joined Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for a traditional breaking of the Ramadan fast Thursday before he left New York.
Outside, several hundred people gathered along 42nd Street across from the Grand Hyatt Hotel, next to Grand Central Terminal, waving Israeli flags and signs reading "No feast for the beast."
Among the speakers addressing the demonstrators — and the crush of evening commuters who paused outside the train station to listen — was MK Aryeh Eldad, who exhorted his listeners not to "wait in vain" for a diplomatic solution to the Iranian threat.
"We know that we can trust no one but ourselves, and we will stop you, be sure, in whatever way we can," Eldad cried. "Your end, your end, Ahmadinejad, will serve as a lesson for any anti-Semite."
Inside, well-dressed guests lined up in the Hyatt's plush lobby and chatted amiably while waiting to go through tight security on the way into the ballroom, where Ahmadinejad was scheduled to appear alongside the president of the United Nations' General Assembly, Nicaraguan diplomat Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann.
The controversial event — an Iftar meal to break the Ramadan fast, held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan — was organized by a coalition of pacifist churches and billed as an interfaith dialogue on the topic of "the significance of religious contributions to peace."
The "Stop Ahmadinejad" website has posted a report on the dinner — evidently the people who organized the rally had someone on the inside.

Christian McBride Presents Musical Portrait to Commemorate Black History Icons
Entertainment, Music News
Six-time Grammy award-winning jazz bassist Christian McBride is scheduled to release The Movement Revisited: A Musical Portrait of Four Icons, February 7th, on Mack Avenue Records (mackavenue.com). A masterful salute to Black History and the critical speeches that launched the movement of change and hope in America. Culminating musical documentation of a richly inspired piece – lauding four key figures of the Civil Rights Movement: Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, and Muhammad Ali. The tapestry is complete with four outstanding narrators including poetess Sonia Sanchez, and actors Wendell Pierce, Vondie-Curtis Hall, and Dion Graham.
Marshaling his ever-sharpening skills as a composer, arranger, conductor, musician and lyricist, McBride created a historically and culturally illuminating five-part suite for an 18-piece big band, chorus, and narrators that places the motivating forces as well as the goals of the Civil Rights Movement within a powerfully relevant artistic context.
"The movement was obviously much bigger than the four historic figures I included," Christian notes. "But these four icons are people who touched me deeply, therefore I decided to put the tagline 'A Musical Portrait of Four Icons' as opposed to calling it a portrait of the Civil Rights Movement."
McBride personally handpicked the four narrators for The Movement Revisited. "Each needed to possess the empathy, humor, and gravitas to bring the words of these civil rights legends to life, especially for a new, younger audience. In many ways, there are some new battles we're fighting, but I feel that these new battles fall under the umbrella of equality, fairness and human rights – and that's an old battle," says Christian. For the voice of Rosa Parks, Sonia Sanchez, the great poet, author, and artist. To portray Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the great character actor Wendell Pierce (The Wire, Treme), who possessed the stirring presence and ringing tones necessary for the role. Two other great actors, Vondie Curtis-Hall (Chicago Hope, Daredevil) and Dion Graham (Malcolm X, The Wire) were recruited to embody Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali, respectively.
Born in Philadelphia, McBride is a gifted musical prodigy who soaked up influences from every direction. At the tender age of 17, he was recruited by saxophonist Bobby Watson to join his group, Horizon. During the 1990s, he proceeded to work with some of the biggest names in jazz, including Pat Metheny, Wynton Marsalis, Freddie Hubbard, and Chick Corea as well as major pop and rock stars like Sting, Paul McCartney, James Brown and Celine Dion. His abilities were also coveted by the classical music world, including opera legends Kathleen Battle and Renee Fleming. He is also a respected educator and advocate, first noted in 1997 when he spoke on former President Bill Clinton's town hall meeting "Racism in the Performing Arts." He has since been named Artistic Director of the Jazz Aspen Snowmass Summer Sessions (2000), co-director of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem (2005), and the Second Creative Chair for Jazz of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association (2005).
McBride states, "What's going on with our society right now is that we're picking up the struggle over civil rights – human rights, really – where we left off at an earlier time in our culture, while also fighting some new battles. So, if The Movement Revisited can propel awareness of not just today's issues, but our history, while pleasing people musically, then it has done its job."
The Movement Revisited: A Musical Portrait of Four Icons set to release February 7th, on Mack Avenue Records (mackavenue.com).

Q: Proximal Operator Matrix Regression We have that $W \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times m}$ and we want to find $$\text{prox}(W) = \arg\min_Z\Big[\frac{1}{2} \langle W-Z, W-Z \rangle+\lambda ||Z||_*  \Big]$$
Here, $||Z||_*$ represents the trace norm of $Z$.
I tried getting the derivative of the whole thing, and to do that I used that the derivative of trace norm is $UV^T$ (according to Proximal Operator and the Derivative of the Matrix Nuclear Norm). However, after this, I don't really know how to proceed.

A: The prox of the trace norm (also called the Nuclear Norm) is known in closed form. The formula (and code for numerical implementation) are found here:
http://proximity-operator.net/multivariatefunctions.html
You were on the right track. In general, if your matrix function is really just a symmetric operation involving singular values, you can use SVD to express the prox of the matrix function in terms of the prox of the symmetric function. In this case, your "symmetric function" is just the one-norm being applied to the singular values of your matrix.
For a rigorous statement, check out Section 24.8 of Bauschke/Combettes' book, volume 2.

A: Since you use the Inner Product of Matrices then the problem can be rewritten as:
$$ {\operatorname*{Prox}}_{\lambda \left\| \cdot \right\|_{F}} \left( W \right) = \arg \min_{Z} \frac{1}{2} \left\| Z - W \right\|_{F}^{2} + \lambda \left\| Z \right\|_{\ast} $$
Which matches Proximal Operator for Schatten Norm.
Basically, for any Schatten Norm the algorithm is pretty simple.
If we use Capital Letter $ A $ for Matrix and Small Letter for Vector than:
$$ {\operatorname*{Prox}}_{\lambda \left\| \cdot \right\|_{p}} \left( A \right) = \arg \min_{X} \frac{1}{2} \left\| X - A \right\|_{F}^{2} + \lambda \left\| X \right\|_{p} $$
Where $ \left\| X \right\|_{p} $ is the $ p $ Schatten Norm of $ X $.
Defining $ \boldsymbol{\sigma} \left( X \right) $ as a vector of the Singular Values of $ X $ (See the Singular Values Decomposition).
Then the Proximal Operator Calculation is as following:

*

*Apply the SVD on $ A $: $ A \rightarrow U \operatorname*{diag} \left( \boldsymbol{\sigma} \left( A \right) \right) {V}^{T} $.

*Extract the vector of Singular Values $ \boldsymbol{\sigma} \left( A \right) $.

*Calculate the Proximal Operator of the extracted vector using Vector Norm $ p $: $ \hat{\boldsymbol{\sigma}} \left( A \right) = {\operatorname*{Prox}}_{\lambda \left\| \cdot \right\|_{p}} \left( \boldsymbol{\sigma} \left( A \right) \right) = \arg \min_{x} \frac{1}{2} \left\| x - \boldsymbol{\sigma} \left( A \right) \right\|_{2}^{2} + \lambda \left\| x \right\|_{p} $.

*Return the Proximal of the Matrix Norm: $ \hat{A} = {\operatorname*{Prox}}_{\lambda \left\| \cdot \right\|_{p}} \left( A \right) = U \operatorname*{diag} \left( \hat{\boldsymbol{\sigma}} \left( A \right) \right) {V}^{T} $.

The mapping of Matrix Norm into Schatten Norm:

*

*Frobenius Norm - Given by $ p = 2 $ in Schatten Norm.

*Nuclear Norm - Given by $ p = 1 $ in Schatten Norm.

*Spectral Norm (The $ {L}_{2} $ Induced Norm of a Matrix) - Given by $ p = \infty $ in Schatten Norm.

So in your case use the Schatten Norm where $ p = 1 $.
The Proximal Operator for Vector Norm for $ {L}_{1} $ Norm is the Soft Thresholding Operator.

Q: Play! framework subfolders in the "models" one? Assume the following flat models structure (models folder content):

*

*user.java

*group.java

*log.java

*car.java

*motorbike.java

For clarity purpose, I would like to "classify" those models files into subfolders to get the following:

*

*general

*

*user.java

*group.java

*log.java

*vehicules

*

*car.java

*motorbike.java

I tried to create two folders into the genuine "models" one and adapted the package import accordingly i.e. package models.general; for instance. I then ran the project, the database is created properly (the tables are generated) but I'm unable to save anything. Is there something I missed ?

A: I don't know if that solves the problem, but from what you describe, the correct packages would be models.general and models.vehicules.


Work is set to begin Thursday, October 8, on the State Ports Authority's passenger terminal and surrounding land in downtown Charleston. There will be a little public-speaker fanfare, too.

Strictly Come Dancing Betting Odds: Louisa Lytton & Emma Bunton
August 5th, 2012 By Stuart Heritage
The new series of Strictly Come Dancing starts tomorrow night, and we haven't been this excited since the last time we saw a bunch of people we didn't really recognise dancing around on the telly.
Over the last week we've been looking at the Strictly Come Dancing betting odds for all the contestants except two – and that's what we've come here today to do. In many ways, these two Strictly Come Dancing hopefuls are the Zoe Ball and Colin Jackson of this year's Strictly Come Dancing, only with less running and sleeping with DJs and more acting and having failed solo careers. Have you placed a Strictly Come Dancing bet yet? You really should, you know, and there's a link after the jump.
So here are the Strictly Come Dancing betting odds for Louisa Lytton and Emma Bunton, with help from PaddyPower…
Louisa Lytton – Louisa Lytton? Who she? Oh, come on, you watch Eastenders – you know who Louisa Lytton is. Let's refresh your memory, shall we? Louisa Lytton is the girl from Eastenders who you have a crush on that you never mention to anyone because she's only 17 and you already feel enough of a right old filthy pervert every time you even so much as think of her. Yeah, that one. Well, Louisa Lytton is leaving Eastenders soon and, rather than trying to quickly build on her reputation as a capable actress by taking a number of varied roles to help prepare her for a long acting career, she's decided to spuff away any career momentum that starring in Eastenders gave her by appearing in a shoddy reality TV show about dancing. But Louisa Lytton is second favourite to win Strictly Come Dancing, so she must be pretty decent on her feet. And the longer Louisa Lytton stays in Strictly Come Dancing, the more tiny gowns you'll get to see her in. You pervert. Current Strictly Come Dancing betting odds – 4/1
Emma Bunton – Emma Bunton? Who she? Ah, perhaps you'll know Emma Bunton more by the name Baby Spice, as Emma Bunton is her solo name, and the Emma Bunton solo career has been about as successful as the time you tried not to urinate all down the inside of your trousers in church when you were five, and you know full well how that turned out. You could say that Emma Bunton doing a reality TV dance show is a bit of career low for a former Spice Girl, but you'd be wrong – pretending to be in love with Eddie Murphy is a career low for a former Spice Girl, as is calling your daughter Bluebell Madonna, and Emma Bunton is yet to do either of those. The majority of people are saying that Emma Bunton is a shoo-in for the Strictly Come Dancing crown because she was in a successful pop group, but they might be suffering from a little bit of selective memory loss; yes, Emma Bunton was in The Spice Girls, but any dancing was mostly limited to swaying from side to side in the background while Sporty Spice did some backflips. And anyway, who's going to bet on Emma Bunton with these odds? Current Strictly Come Dancing betting odds – 11/4
Next week – X Factor betting odds and Strictly Come Dancing betting odds? Sweet baby Jesus, we know how to treat you right.
