Google Tech Talks November 11, 2008 ABSTRACT Berners-Lee's vision of the Semantic Web is hindered by a chicken-and-egg problem, which can be best solved by a bootstrapping method: creating enough structured data to motivate the development of applications. We believe that autonomously `Semantifying Wikipedia' is the best way to bootstrap. We choose Wikipedia as an initial data source, because it is comprehensive, high-quality, modestly sized, and contains enough manually-derived structure to bootstrap an autonomous, self-supervised process. In this talk I will present our success to date in this endeavor: A novel approach for self-supervised learning of CRF information extractors Automatic construction of a comprehensive ontology via statistical-relational learning Vast improvements in extraction recall through shrinkage over this ontology and retraining The stimulation of a virtuous feedback cycle between communal content creation and information extraction We aim to construct a knowledge base of outstanding size to support inference, automatic question answering, faceted browsing, and potentially to bootstrap the Semantic Web.

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/protect-marriage-protect-children-prohibit-divorce A Petition for a California State Proposition that Prohibits Divorce Between Heterosexual Married Couples Divorce destroys the sanctity of marriage and its powerful influence on the betterment of society. This proposition would keep the very meaning of marriage from being transformed into nothing more than a contractual relationship between two adults. Prohibiting divorce between heterosexual married couples will keep the interests of children and families intact. We will continue to celebrate marriage as the union of husband and wife, not as a relationship between %u2018Party A%u2019 and %u2018Party B.%u2019 The marriage of a man and a woman has been at the heart of society since the beginning of time and it promotes the ideal opportunity for children to be raised by a mother and a father in a family held together by the legal, communal, and spiritual bonds of marriage. As a society we should put the best interests of children first, and those interests lie in traditional marriage. Permitting divorce destroys marriage as we know it and causes a profound harm to society. We should be restoring marriage, not undermining it. And for those of you who voted yes on Prop 8 but disagree with this petition...Why? This petition is copied and pasted from literature from your website, ProtectMarriage.com, but applied to Divorce instead of Gay Marriage. So how can you argue with your own words?

Dad (English subtitles). Part 8 of 11. Based on A. Galych's play "Matrosskaya Tishina", "Dad" ("Papa") tells a story of a Jewish father who dreamed of seeing his son perform on a stage in front of huge audiences, he dreamed of seeing him as the greatest violinist of his time. To achieve the goal he taught his son how to play the violin from the yearly age. When son grew up he left the small town he and his father lived in to study in the Moscow Conservatory leaving his past behind. But one day he has to choose either to loose his father or everything he has achieved. "Papa" realistically presents details of the Soviet realities from the 1930s to the middle of 1940s in Moscow and a small provincial town, as well as the tragic fate of many Soviet citizens including the victims of Holocaust during the long four years of WWII (Great Patriot War). The film which is very personal for its creator who plays against the type and practically lives in the role of an aging Jewish single father is moving, compelling, and treats us with wonderful violin music which is performed by one of the best musicians of our time, Vladimir Spivakov, the celebrated violinist and conductor. "Papa" deserves to be seen by many viewers not only in Russia but around the world. ================ Crew: Directed by Vladimir Mashkov.

A UNIM and Conspiracy MythBusters special report into the Asian Union. During a meeting with Asian leaders the Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced this month (June 2008) plans for a proposed Asian Union or "Community" similar to the European Union and feared North American Union. Mr Rudd referred to the "Corporation of Australia" and need to strengthen ties with Asian neighbors for future security in the Asian/Pacific region. Like the Euro and Amero the Asian Union would also evolve it's own currency, the "Asio" as a working title. And as shown in the One World Government section of Zeitgeist the central and reserve banks and elitist money men are behind the move towards corporate globalization. The plot thickens, as do the wallets of the filthy rich. China and other APEC countries gave support to Mr Rudd's vision of an Asian community by 2020. But growing crisis' in the world with the war-on-terror, wars-over-resources, peak-oil, climate change, debt and fascism disguised as democracy may trigger events happening sooner than forecast.

Indonesia, as the world's most populous Muslim country, has a long history as a tolerant and pluralistic society. But controversial new anti-pornography legislation has sparked debate across the nation. The law criminalises all public acts and material capable of violating community morality. But critics say the legislation is too vague, overlaps existing legislation and tramples local customs in a country of ethnic, religious and cultural diversity. This week, 101 East travels to the holiday island of Bali to ask if Indonesia can succeed in enforcing a new moral tone across its vast archipelago.
